Pollard and Mr . Baxter , regarding some expressions said to have been nsed by the latter gentleman relative to some individuals having an inclination to take the Guardians by surprise , in moving for a new workhouse . It is supposed the termination of this discussion will not end in setting a fish pond on fire , therefore it » eed not be repcrred .
&BRMOSS .- On Sunday evening , the 8 th of July , Mr . "Win . Thornton of Halifax , preached a sermon in the Primitive Methodist's preaching house , Sandbeds , from the prophesies by Jertmiah 22 nd chap , and 29 verse , " 0 earth , earth , earth , hear the word of the Xiord . " In \ hv course of his sermon the preacher drew a > triking parallel between the iniquities practised by the priests , rulers and governois of the Jewish pe » ple , against whom the threatenings and denunciations of the Old Testament were fulminated by the prophet ;? , and modern priests , and rulers , who , like their prototypes of old , rob God , and the poor , and say '' "Wherein have we robbed thee ?" The preacher dwelt vritn great forte and eloquence on the heinous sin of rating away the right of the poor , and tre congregation seemed much " impressed wit the faithfulness and iustice of- his discourse .
OwEXlTES .-On "Wednesday evening last , public meeting was cal ' ed in the Sucirl Institution Room , Jail-lane , in this to' . vn , to consider the proprierv . of ado pting a petition passed at a public meetins ; in Manchester , in May last .

• B&RNSttrsr . Potatoes were selling in Barnsley market at 9 d . and lOd . per peck on Saturday ; new ones at 6 d . ptr quartern . Honest Barxsley . —There is not a single pr isoner for trial at ibis a-sizes from Barnsley , nor has there been one from that town during the two previous , out of a population of J 3 , C 00 . This may proceed from the superior honestv of the Barnslev
people , but we rather su-prct that it does proceed in a great measure from the fact that there is in that town more of villacy than is usual . The public are made to pay for the lighting and watching of the town , while the town is neither li ghted nor watched , and so the thieves prosecute tbrir labours under the protection of darkaes * , carelessness , and dirt . Robberies are continually committed , but eo little thieves are taien , because tie great thieves have hitherto eluded justice .
Barxsley CorKT House . —Before the Rev . H . B . Cooke , H . "VYatkin . and John Thornier , Esqs . —Edward Galiese , was charged with negltttiug his family , and was committed for one month . - Theft . —5 jhoiaa& ^ enior ,. and Samuel Beecrofr , were committed for trial at Rotherham Sessions , on a charge of stealing twenty-five fleeces of wool , and two sacks of malt , from an outhouse at Billingley , belonging to Mr . "W . Allen , of that place ; the articles were found in the possession of the prisoners . Offexces Against tee Beer Act . —Benjamin Somerville , and "Win . Marshall , were ordered to pay costs , for having one or two persons drinking in the ' r houses on Sunday afternoon , at half-past four o ' clock .- John Pinder , was 5 utd 40 ~ . and costs , for having eight persons In his house at the same
time . Assaulting a Cosstable . — Jacob Hudson , Constable Of Keibro " , C-harged Jamtrs- Hai ^ b , of Emley , with assaultici * him in the execution of his duty , on the Sunday jrevious . He was committed for trial in default of bail , to answer the charge at Rotherham Sessions . Robbery at Midgley . —Julm Jackson , was committed for trial on a charge of breaking into the dwelling house of Mr . "VY . Bunzin , at Midgley , and stealing therefrom a quantity of wearing apparel , which was found on the prisoner , when apprehended by Kershaw , the Barnslev constable .
Inquest ox the twextv-six Children dbowxed at Silkstone . —The deaths of the unfortunate children , drowned in the coal-pits of Silkstone , last week , were caused in the following melancholy manner . The whole of them , amounting to forty , caused by the rush of water into the pits , went np the foot-rail or day-hole of the pit , whereas , had they remained in tbe pit-bottom , they would undoubtedly have been all saved , as tbe water did not Teach the bottom of the pit . "When the children had passed through a door , a little more than half-way np the day-hole , they were met by the water , which having previously broken down a wall in the day-hole , that had dammed it up , went with
redoubled force , and the children were driven back against the door , and there drowned , with the exception of two . They proceeded forwards till they arrived at what is called a " slit , " into which fourteen of them entered just as the water came rushing down upon them . Those who bad not entered the slit were immediately driven down the declivity against the door above-mentioned , which refused to give way to the force of the current ; consequently the passage was completely choked up , and thev were soon immersed , without the least hope of extrication . The fourteen who entered the slit having a less inclined footing were enabled to force their way to the day-bole , and were thus fortunately preserved . It was a most heart-Tending sight to witness
the carts -with the bodies in them going through Silkstone , leaving a corpse or two at nearlv every house , and the women in a state cf distraction , tearing the hair from their heads . The children , on being taken out of the day-hole , were immediately conveyed to the residences of their different parents . The inspection of tie todies , therefore , by the coroner and jury , was a work of no small difficulty and labour ; and as the greater part of the jury were on foot , the inspection occupied from five o'clock , the-time of assembling of thejury , until considerably after eight . After going to the bouses of the entire number drowned , the jury went to the Red Lion , at Silkstone , where the inquest sat , and after a brief consultation , returned a verdict of "Accidental death . "
THE FUNERAL "Of these twenty-six persons , so premature ! v hurried into eternity , took place nn Saturday , at Silkstone , which had never , perhaps , in the whole period of its history , been tbe theatre of so melancholy a spectacle . The words of scripture are not inapplicable here : " In Rama was there a voice heard ; lamentation , and weeping , and great mourning , Rachel weeping for her children , and would not be comforted , because they are not . " About two thousand persons assembled to witness the long and sad procession of these children to their silent home ; and truly affecting it was to behold , coffin succeed coffin , each followed by weeping and bereaved parents and relatives . Tbe multitude looked on in solemn silence , which was only broken by the audible expressions of grief which burst from the mourners . Several of the mothers were so
heart-Stneken , that they had to oe supported between two relative ? , and scarcely an eye of the spectators , that thronged the village church-yard , but was moist with the sympathetic tear . The bodies were deposited in seven graves ; the boys in four , which were in one row , three of which received four coffins each , and the other three . The girls were interred in another row at their ftct , in three graves , two of which had four coffius deposited in each , and three inthe other . " We understand , it is the intention of the proprietor of the pit to erect a monument on the snot .

Thunderstorm . —This town was , on Friday , the 6 th instant , visited with a tremendous thunderstorm . The contending elements continued , with unabated fury , for an hour and upwards . It is some time since we witnessed a scene so awfully grand ; the electric fluid darted along the horizon , accompanied b y loud and terrific peals of thunder , and the rain fell in torrents , adding to tbe fears already created in the minds of the inhabitants . ' The li ghtning struck the factory of Messrs . Horsfoll , slightly damaging the building , and considerably afieeting several of the bands employed . Also at Cutler Height , near this town , a horse , belonging to Manuel Beanland was struck dead while , grazing in the fit-Id ; the animal was worth about £ 15 , the loss of which will be severely felt by the owner , who is a poor hard-woiking man . On Wednesday , the 4 th , the inhabitants of Clavton Hei « hts were
visited by a terrific storm of thunder and - lightning ; the electric fluid descended the ehimmy of the house of Sir . Dobson , and though that gentleman and his wife wvre standing near tbe fire place at the time , they escaped without injury -, the only damage sustained was that of a quantity « f lime being knocked off the mantel-piece . Accident . —On the morning of Monday last , as a gentleman named Masterman , a relative of the Messrs . Harris , banters , of this town , v > v . s ricin ^ down Leeds road , on a very suiritetl hoi ^ e , Iroi ' n

The shock was tremendous , the rider being thrown for a distance oi several yaids from his seat . The ¦ horse almosr immediately fell down and d : ed in a L-. y minutes . We are happy , however to state , that the gentleman escaped by being slightly bruised .

" Assault . —John Proctor , of Pudsey , a dealer in woollen waste , was on Wednesday , brought before the magistrates , charged b y his wife with violently assaultingher , insomucb , that . sKecoBsideroi'i her life in danger . It appeared from the evidence of the complainant , that for some time past she had lived in constant fear of her life , from the violence of her husband ; arising out of his constant habits . " of
drunkenness , and his connexion with women oi loose character . The complainant further stated , that her husband came to Bradford fair , and returned sometime after midnight ; when , instead of-taking the supper which she had provided for him , he commenced a most brutal attaek upon her , benting her most unmercifully over the head ; after which he seized a knife , which he threw at her with great force , with an intention of doing her some bodily harm ; but which , fortunately , came in contact with some other object . tJpon seeing that this had not taken effect , he became more aggravated , and she was obliged to run out of the house in order to save Tier life . Since that time , his conduct towards her
has been of a most cruel character ; and she found herself compelled to take the present prt ceedihgs for her own personal safety . On her return borne , yesterday , after taking out the warrant y he again attacked her 5 and to aggravate her the more , shook a . fine cap in her face , which he had purchased for' a woman with whom he cohabited . She endeavoured to get hold of the cap , when he seized her , tore oft " her cap and bonnet , and tore them to pieces . ; the remains of which she produced in court . He made no defence . He was convicted , and ordered to lind sureties to keep the peace fortwelve months ; himseji in £ 30 , and two sureties in £ 20 each . After some rime , the necessary sureties being found , was liberated .

On Nevil going up stairs to dress , he found the trousers missing , upon which she charged the prisoner ,. who had been sleeping in another bed , with the theft : be , however , denied having taken them , upon which she sent for a constable . Upon his arrival , the prisoner begged forgiveness , and told them where the missingproperty was concealed . Upon the evidence adduced he -n as committed to take his trial , and the same day a bill was preferred against him , but it was ignored by the Grand Jury .
HUDDERSFIELD . Hcdbersfield Gas , —At . Manchester and at Leeds , where « very material is higher than at Huddersfield . the pr ice of Gas is 8 s . per thousand feet , while at the latter place the charge is 10 s . per thousand . At Sheffield the charge is ouly 7 s . per thousand . Would you be kind enough , therefore , Mr . Editor , in your ' widely circulated journal , to ask of your readers , if any of them can give a good reason why the said disparity exists , and why the gas at Huddersneld , is of inferior , quality to that of any other town , and why the supply is so deficient as to compel the consumers to keep oil lamps lighted to re-light the burners when they twinkls out ? Why is it that no discount is paid to those who consume limited quantities , but who pay ix months before hand , while factories and large consumers who take credit have a discount of thirtv per cent ?

IJy the prisoner . —I did list seif him strike at ' . vcu first The deceased thrust you against the bank , with your back towards it . Joseph Rhodes , of Brag-lane-end , bandmaker , was the next witaess . I was at Eroadh ' eadV " beerhouse . _ Hudson , Mark Rayner , and . Rayner ' * brother , prisoner , and deceased w » re drinkin ' s together . There was no quarrelling iu the house ; they were betwixt fresh and sober . I did not see the whole of the quarrel . When we found the deceased was dead , 1 went to fetch his wife , and then proceeded home . . ¦¦ ¦ ¦¦ . ¦ ' ¦
Thomas Rayner , the prisoner ' s brother , was then examined . —I am a bandspinner at Brag-lane . I was working at Broadhead ' s- yesterday . My brother , ^ Hudson , and Rhodes were drinking ' there . My brother and Hudson went together in the afternoon . I went and supped with them at six o ' clock , and afterwards joined them at seven . Some of \ IS played at pulF and dart . Rhodes , myself , W brother , and the deceased had a quart game after the others had left . We were all nearly drunk . I and Hudson ran a race for a . bit of fun " dovvn a hi ]] . I did not know the cause of the quarrel . I saw ' the deceased laid in tbe road , but my brother was not on the top of him . I did not see my brother have deceased ' s head between his knees vvhen he was laid on the bank . I did not see Rhodes take my brother off Hudson . I saw him lift the deceased out of the ditch . -
By the prisoner . —We had six quarts after the company had gone out . Mr . Holdsworth , surgeon . —I was sent for a little before four this morning . They told- me he was dead , but sent for me to ascertain whether they should keep the prisoner in custody . I found a fewmarks of violence upon his shoulder blades and a " slight bruise upon the . lower lip , with another upon the forehead ; there was some grass in the deceased ' s mouth . The ears appeared to have been pressed and crushed . At the post mortem examination , I found a large quantity of blood on the right side of the che > t , cast by the rupture of some vessel connected with the lungs ; but I could not find any external wound to correspond . The lungs were in such a diseased state as to render much less violence
than ordinary to produce a rupture ., It might have been produced by a . blow . We found . no' other marks . I should say , as a matter pf opinion , that the man might have lived for many years longer , the other parts of bis body being quite healthy , The same blow which may have caused the rupture in the deceased would not have produced the same effect in a perfectly healthy person . My opinion is that the blood from the rupture had £ rot into thi
windpipe , and caused sunocation . A struggle might produce the . ' same effects ' . If the rupture had taken place from the running , I think the deceased would not have had ; strength to fi ght . It is possible that suffocation might take place when the deceased had bis head between the prisoner ' s knees as he would then have less chance of clearing ' himself from it . Blows on the short ribs might produce death , as in this instance the lungs , were grown to the ribs , and a . blow would affeetthe whole .
By Mr . Robinson . —When I said there ' . were ho external wounds to correspond , I meant not -exactly opp ' esite .

London , Thursday Evening . Twelve o'clock . Accounts liaye been received from Jamnica to tlie 7 tll lilt . Thii Governor had assembled a special meeting of the . House of Assembl y to consider the laws relative to the labouring populari . u , as to the necessify which existed for a total abolition of the apprenticeship " system at an early period . The following is from the Government Uazclte upon tlus ¦ important . topic : ^—'
"The Governor called them together at an unusual season to take into consideration tlie state of the island iindVr . " . th . e .. . laws for the-government- of the labouring population—that the subject was strongly agitated througiiout the British empire and in Parliament , where the honourable effort ' s of Ministers v-ere barely sufficient to maintain tlie existing larr as an obligation of national faith—that excitement existed among the apprentices ; but they bad rested in sober and . quiet hope , relying on the generosity of the Colonial Legislature for the boon that has been granted to their class in other colonies , and that it was his dut y to recommend thu abortion of apprenticeship for all classes . " After a short and . animated debate in the House , the Governor's Address was referred to a Committee of seven .

There was only one draw ^ bacl—the excessive heat of the room , vhich was at times overpowering . The Committee of Management had miscalculated the capacity of the Saloon , and issued far too many tickets * On another occasion we sincerely hope that this e-ril will be prevented . On the urgent Tequest of many of the visitors , the committee consented to hold another festival , without tea , on the following evening . We were not present on that occasion , put have learned that the evening passed off with the utmost 'hilarity , and with the abatement of the over crowding .

Owen , isi-j when carried out in community , and men czxe learned to pay that re ? pect to each other Trcica is j-astly d / ae to ' human nature . The room was crowded to excess , and the attention paid aSsrded a line contrast to what had taken place a for evenings before , when nnder the management of a Chairman , during the delivery of Mr Pallister ' s ltetaras , tbe uself ^ sBess of sa ' ch an appendage was made clearly manifest by the Socialists determiniBg to do without . A discussion followed tbe lecture , is which Mr . Millington became a principal opponent , but Mr . Kigby commanded his position in fine srjle , and with the exception of a few remarks of disapprobation arising out of religions jrtjndice , tie evening was spent in tbe most agreeable manner by iili present , each one , apparently , being

One of the sons of the Hev , Mr . Pridie , who is receiving an education for the ministry , came forward and addressed the audience in support of responsibility . He is a young man of very ' promising talent , and spoke wiiii very considerable efieet . It is expected taat Mr .

Owexism . —Ms . Paxxisteb ' s Lectures . — "We Snd that Mr . Pallister , whose lectures at Bradford , ] ast week but one , excited the attention of one of our contemporaries , has "been ^ figuring at Halifax , 2 nd a pretty figure he cot , if the representations which have reached tts have any foundation in truth . As we hare no desire to assume the ' position of parnzans in any disputes ( especially of a religion ? character ) between the Owenites and their opponents , we Tiave declined to insert a long account of this gentleman ' s exhibitions , furnished by a correspondent , on account of its leaning towards the OTrenites . In whatever notices we have from time
me given of the movements of this body in different places , we strictly confined ourselves to matters of news , preserving thereby the character of the NortAern Star as the organ of the whole people , aad" nor of any particular section . " We are told , however , that Mr . Pallieter , in the excess of his zeal against the Socialists , has taken occasion to attack the Northern Star in most -unwarrantable terms , inanuating that its statements were not to be rtlied on , inasmuch as they were" the productions of isSdel writer * &c &c Nowsupposing that it
, , iad actually been true th ^ t the writers in the Northern Star were infidels , it is rather too much iOT a meek follower of Christ to assume that therefore thev were incapable of speaking the truth in saeh trifling matters as the mere relation of facts and incidents . Few personSj however , have better opportunity than Mr . Pallister of knowing that the insinuation which he is thus , reported to have made is a base and malicious falsehood , incapable of injuring any but hira who had the hardihood to hazard its assertion . "We have hitherto abstained
from noticing him , because we had no wish to render help to an unprincipled adventurer , in fleecing the ytblieof their threepences , in like manner as he is reported to have previously fleeced the Leeds Temperance Society . Mr . P . is a great stickler for *' public morals , " and would . have the Socialists compelled , before they are permitted to go into e ° mmunity , to give security for the safety of the public morals . " "We are a little curious to "know Vket her any idea of a " moral ' character connected ¦ * itk the mal-appropriation of the funos of the r * ^ "Working Men ' s Association , intruded itself
