THE " REFORM" C ^ INET AND ltB .. « 1 XBEBJ .- » ppoBTEE& T * ^ r ef St . Stephens closed , recently , at the iiaarajfoTa " Reform" Ministry , *^ , \) ydini of trBC £ l ) ng snh « ervience , and crawling meanness , tad meeeeded in" keeping out " the Tories , * ' though the keeping in of tireiaserves had coxered them tnih disgrace . They had 'been kicked , oeaten , Imffeted , and epit upon- ; tiey had submitted , upon ^ tl I I "I 11 TT > T > T ^^ NT > % Jt ' J ^ A . ' : ¦ *¦ - - "
mor e than one occasion , to "be sustained with one iand and cuffed " with the other , by the Tory leaders ; they had sacrificed tbeir principles , -and . eaten Tip their professions ; they had insulted their friends , and clasped the'lnees of their enemies ; . they had "become thoroughly contemptible and abject ; but they had preserved their places . The disgraceful Sesso * was ' terminated , and the Ministers were stfU ^ possession of the strong-holds of Downing
Street . This-was , undoubtedly , matter of rejoicing ; and , accordingly , eating and drinking , dissipation an ! wassail , succeeded the triumph of prorogation trifih continuance in offiee . The note of preparation arnow "being Rounded for the muster of forces neces jwy'for sustaining another campaign . The country has "been apportioned into districts , like so many poiitieaT&onting grounds ; th ? Ministry being hunts-BJen , their senatorial crutches acting as the hounds , and the people being , of course , the game . Miserably ineffective , however , is the present " Hark forward " of the Ministerial huntsmen on their several preserves Their bugles gyre a note so ¦ uncertain and tremulous ihst even the well-trained hounds hesitate to
re-¦ c qgaise it , and the sturdy game manifest the most Ifieqnirocal symptoms of a design to reverse the -order of the chase—while the hounds themselves seem more than half disposed to imitate those of JLctaeon . It is really laughable to see the awkward sprawling of the " Liberals ~ ' \ in their efforts to Tetain the confidence of the people , while they manifest their intention of still continuing to prop up and sustain this " Reform " Cabinet . At one moment a
patriotic horror of the Tories braces their nerves for action } and , hazarding a few slight laudations of the ' r "Whigling masters , they seem as if they would sup . port them at all risks ; at the next , a consciousness ihat the people know their delinquencies , and will 3 iot fail to include such as dare to justify them in the "Well merited censure of popular rebuke , stakes them 3 ook to the safety of their own position , and their censures are immediately directed against their f' leaders" so freely , as to induce the supposition fhat they pnrpose to take them instantly by the ¦ j&roat and eject them without further ceremony from the position which they have hitherto so unworthily sustained . The address of the Honourable Member
for Sheffield to his constituents affords an amusing Jnstauceof that sort of ludicrous embarrassment in ¦ which the" ' Liberals" &id themselves by the growing intelligence and Tirtuous firmness now almost uni"Tersally manifested by the people . By the " liberals " Te mean those who , acknowledging the justice of democratic principles and avowing a desire for their prevalence—professing the most righteous horror of Tory ascendancy and an aversion for the stand-whereyon-are policy of pureWhiggism -yet worship . at the shrine of an imaginary expediency rather than at
that of principle , and are perfectly contented to starve the horse in order that the grass may have lime to grow . These aie tiej tf 5 io > tali of moving - with " gradual steps "—oT conciliating the prejudices of the " property classes "—who would aim irst at that which can be most readily attainedand who therefore poinfus to the Corn Laws and tbe Ballot as the chief objects ef attention—who wish ic
iact to amusens with nibbling at one or two of the yrna"H rsrigs of corruption , instead of at ouce " laying our shoulders to the work , and with giant strength lurling to the earth the massive trunk and tearing up its roots . Of this class consist nearly all the aoembers of the present Parliament who are usually ilignified with the name of Radical . To this class also belongs nearly the whole of what is commonl y called the Undical Press . Ho misnomer could
lave been more complete . Berween these peddling * ' Liberals" and Radicalism tkere is a difference as great as between pbtxciple and expediency— a difference as great as between an immediate demand for justice and a continued support of injustice . These " liberals " are , if honest , the most weakminded men in the world , —if dishonest , the most consummate and dangerous scoundrels . Of these * ' Liberals " Mr . "Wabd is one of the most talented , and probably one of the most honest . -
Thursday week , Mr . "Ward presented himself "before the good people of Sheffield in the double capacity of a steward rendering Ms accounts , and an advocate pleading for a client . 'We shall leave the former portion of the business to be dealt -prith by those to whom it more immediately relates the inhabitants of Sheffield ; while , as a portion of the tribunal before whom his client , the Ministry is arraigned , we proceed to examine the validity and coherency of the defence he- has endeavoured ± o set up .
He ¦ begins by admitting that . " the Session just passed has left little that isgratifying , or honourable to record ; " fiiat " our hopes haTe been chilled " and that " the blame is , in a great measure , attri-Imtahle to the conduct df our political leaders . " Be denounces the conduct of . GoTermnent ' in the following terms ;—tt "V 71 S £ , iheji , IeoMajleic * nficm to iave been Vm 3 tiK- U
31 for the TiaUfion of th » t &mtr , » na not for too nrach caujiou » - 3 W 9 B , thatl tdame Lord Melbourne . In many instances he ~ kl * not been cautious , tut r » h ; not impartial , but partialand , - unfortunatdy , the ton thing * haTe taken -durmg the -whole eoTnse of tie season , ha » thrown the Trei xnt of the Govemmart and of th « Court , as represented b y Lord Mel-Joarns , into the scale of a party to whoa we bettered the 6 oTeramenl to "be opposed . "
Here , then , the apologist makes-out against his < 3 ieht a case , which , if his statements are worth anything , must convict him . No -virtues can be sore necessary in any Government than those of prndence , honesty , and good faith * In the absence of the first of t"hese virtues , a Government is nnlrorfhy of confidence ; in the absence of either of &e two latter , it merits only universal execration : tut Mr . "Wakd asserts that Lord Mblbotjkne's
Government possesses none of them . The virtue of prudenee consists in estimating things and circumstances at their real worth , jand in exercising a cool , dis passionate , and well-directed judgment ; ljut Mr . "Wast > asserts that Lord MeLboxtbne ' s Government has , " in many instancea , " been " rash . " Honesty includes a strict apportioning of -sriat is ane to every rank ; , class , and individual , without any regard to interest or favour ; it certainly includes , to the full extent , all that is meant by the term " inpartial conduct •"
¦ but Mr . Wabd speaks of Lord Melbotjbnb ' s Government as haying been , " in many instances " " not impartial but partiaL" Good faith impli ' ¦ fiiat we shall leep all engagements—mean- delibe-Utely what we say , and adopt no disguise to cover obi intentions ; but Mr . "Wasd charges the Cabinet with having ' / thrown the whole weight of the Government and of the Court , as represented by
Iierd MB 1 . B 0 TJBKB , into the scale of a party to whom we ( that is they , the supporters of- Gavern-2 &en ^) bettered the Government to be opposed . " Here lien is either an admission that they , Mr . "Wasd and his coadjutors in support ot the Ministry , were too weak minded to understand the expressed opinions and intentions -of Government , or here is » direct . imputation of treachery on the part of &e Government . Upon which of these two horn does the honourable and " Liberal" Member choose

to impale himself ? Are the " Liberals" utterly unable to comprehend the plain meaning of plain words , or does Mr . Wabb still dare to call himself a honest advocate of Democratic principles , while he calls upon the people again , to come into the support of a Government which he declares to have proved itself rash , partial , and treacherous ? . This dilemma involves also another from which the " Liberals" have no escape ; for if we suppose the Gevernment to hav « been honest , and to * have neither done nor said anything calculated to cover their real intentions , it then follows that tbe »• - ^ m > . ^ r r ** «•• .. ^ -
Liberals" are treacherous enough , while professing an anxiety for the people's welfare , to ask their support for a Government w&om they know to be honestly determined to do nothing for them . 'Tis very clear , however , that Mr . Ward estimates the jresfent Government , for whom he bespeaks our support , at their true worth—he regards them as utterly devoid of principle , and as actuated only by the despicable motive of retaining place and its emoluments , however ignominious the conditions ; hence , the following observations : — " We hare tried argument and remonstrance in vain ; but
nothing has so much effect upon the minds of persons once connected with this executive of the country as a vote of the House of Commons . Numbers tell better than arguments upon official men . The fact that two hundred members have to ted and trill vote again against their leader , with the knowledge that the 60 or 70 who voted with him were dragged reluctantly to the division , and compelled to vote against a measure which they in heart approved—the knowledge of these circumstance * cannot fail to operate in future discussions Notwithstanding tV" » strong language with which Lord J . Russell denouBCfd the Ballot , I hope that next session he will find it necessary to take a different view of it , and to recojrnfte concession to the popular voice at hit only claim to pover . "
To one sentiment in this extract we subscribe most cordially , — "Numbers tell better thah a . k-GXJMEXTS UPON OFFICIAL HEN . " "We advise the people to pursue the same course with a corrupt and venal House of Commons , as Mr ^ WARD recommends to be pursued with a corrupt and venal Government . They "have tried argument and remonstrance in vain ; " but let them only persist in the course they have now adopted , of backing their arguments and remonstrances by " numbers , " and they may depend upon it , that tbe " knowledge that three or four millions of people ha-s-e demanded , and will again demand , Unnrersal Suffrage , cannot fail to operate in future
discussions ; " and , " notwithstanding the strong language with which Hon . Members now denounce the entertainment of that question , they will speedily find it necessary to take a different view of it , and to recognise concession to the popular voice as their onlv claim to power . " "We helieve Mr . "Ward to be if not the belt , one of the best men of the political class to which he belongs ; and , therefore , we attach value to this speech , not simply on his individual account , but as a manifesto of the whole party of whom he forms a favourable sample . "We shall not need much deliberation to ascertain b . ow much confidence they are worthy of , -when we see that Mr . "Ward declares for an extension oi the
Suffrage , for Annual Parliaments , for the Ballot , and for an abolition of the Corn Laws , and yet tells us that he cannot vote a want of confidence in the Government , which has pereirptorily and insolently denied , and expressed its unalterable determination continuously to deny , every One of these things . He tells us that these are his pr inciples , and that he "' stands oh his own principles , " and yet he speaks of the party which has been active , and decided in its opposition to evpry one of these principles as u the party with whom he usually acts , " and tells us that he cannot withdraw his confidence
from this government , lest we should get a worse . Why good God ! is there any meaning in plain words ? or has Mr . "Ward not described this government as so bad that nothing can be worse ? Has he not characterised it as imbecile , rash , partial , and treacherous ? Has he not virtually declared it to be actuated by none but the meanest and basest of all possible motives ^—to be incapable of moving in any great measure of public benefit except from the fear of being turned out ? and yet he talks of a worse Government ! " Hear his charge against this Government , on the Irish Church question .
" On the Irish Church I did suppose that the Government had given such distinct pledges to the country as to the policy they would pursue , that any depar ure from them was impossible . They have departed from them , and 1 HAVE NO HESITATION" IN SAYING THAT 1 CONSIDER THE CONDUCT OF THE GOVERNMENT ON THIS QUESTION ONE OF THE GROSSEST INSTANCES OF 1 'OLITICAL TERGIVERSATION THAT EVER occurred . When we remember the Iact , that , in 1835 , thin question was the ministry ' s stepping stone to office ; that Lord John Russell then said , the principle of appropriation tras one ef so much importance , that if Sir Rolwrt Peel ' s Government could only eliat by succeeding against the principle , it were better that the principle should succeed and the government Bhould fall ; that Mr . Spring Rice said that the attempt to settle the question without this
principle was one of those impossibilities which no loan in his senses could contemplate ; that Lord Melbourne said he considered himself pledged as a gentleman to adhere to the principle ; and , remembering all this , 1 confess it is with gripand pain 1 have wen the course waicb the Government have puraxied on this question . There was no change in the circumstances of Ireland ; there is no change in the public feeling of Ireland ; the people ' s sense of their grievance is equally strong . . • The enormity of the injustice continues . • • Tet bow they have attempted to settle the question as it has been done here , by a mere conversion of the tithe into a rent charge , without making any reduction in the establishment , and upholding every abuse which they have Deendetouneisg for five years ; and , as if that were not enough , they have thrown a million of the money of the people of England into the scale . "
And yet this is the Government whom Mr . "Wab , d , with his avowed principles , is fearful of exchanging for aworse ! ! Is Mr . Ward demented , or does he suppose all the people of England to be bo , that he invites us still to have " confidence" in a Government which he himself describes in terms like these ? One other extract from the speech we most lay before our readers , as a Bample of the intellectual character of politicians of Mr . "Wabb ' s school Speaking of the Negro Slavery Apprenticeship system , he says
" We were all deceived &a to the working of the system We thought it would prepare the way for complete emancipation , and give rise to » Jundly feeling between the negroes and their employers . It did not answer this purpose , and we should never hare known its precise operation but for Mr . Sturge and other friends of humanity , who assisted him in a personal investigation upon *>»«• snot , and through wnoee inquiries we arrived » t the truth . " And what was the system about upon which they were all deceived ? "Wh y the very system they are still recommending to the people of England with regard to the Suffrage question—the system of instalments
—the system of " gradual steps" and small degrees —of conciliating the prejudices of the " property classes" —of " preparing the way for complete emancipation . " This is the system of expediency apart from principle which Mr . Ward and the whole tribe of " Liberals" are ever striving to apply to the whole range of popular rights , and more especially to the greatest of all ri ghts , the right of Suffrage . 'Tis said that experience keeps a dear school , but the only one in which fools will learn . Mr . "Ward has shewnus , however , that the " Iabenle" are incapable of learning even in that school , for with the failure of
the instalment principle exemplified before them in the matter of the Reform Bill and of the Slavery Apprenticeship , they still either ignorantly or villanoualy urge it upon the people as the best means of obtaining their rights . We have too mnch confidence , however , in the good sense of the people generally to suppose thatthe value of experience will be lost upon them , though it may be upon such politicians as Mr . "Ward . Let the people steadily aad unceasingly pursue one object—let them demand , without any
diminution , their whole ri ghte ; the means of obtainingwhichaU centreinthe Suffrage . Let them obtain that , and then , being rightly ^ used , they have nothing to fear from either the arbitrary disposition of Toryism , the cold blooded treachery of "Whiggism , or the weak-headed wishywashyness of " Liberalism . " "We have thus far considered not so much Mr . H . G . "Ward , as the party with whom he acts—the " Liberals " We have now a single word with Mr . Wabd individually , and then we take leave of him

for the present . In justifying his support of Governmental despotism in Canada , he says , . " The Kword had been drawn , and we had to make our choice between asserting the authority of England and doing justice afterwards , or permitting the troops of the Queen to be driven into the sea , and an end to be put to English , influence and interests in Canada . This being the alternative , I had enough of English feeling about me at once to set aside the mere question of abstract justice , and to rejoice in the victory of m /« oaiitrymea . " i We cannot allow this libel upon the character of - '• " . " T __ * ^ a *^_* _ _*_•' " . " .. m ^ - - . .
English feeling to pass unnoticed , ft may accord very well , for ought that we know , with the feeling of a " Liberal" to " set aside the question of abstract justice , " and rejoice in the success of a brutal and unjust violence because it happens to be exercised by our " countrymen ; " but we must abjure our country , before we can accept this asa genuine ^ characteristic of English feeling . It w all very fine to talk of " rejoicing in the success of pur cbuntrymen ;"_ It makes a very elegant flourish in an election speech—but when
that " rejoicing" is founded on the setting aside of the question of justice , it becomes , to say the best of it , a " rejoicing " of a very discreditable character , and one in which we are quite sure the English people do not participate . Finally , we congratulate Mr . Ward and the " Liberals" on their singularly felicitous position . They load the Government with all manner of well-merited abuse—and yet they continue to support it—they profess themselves to be the " movement party "—and yet they stand still , rather than oppose the " Government whom they boldly revile out of the House , and obsequiously obey within . We are only at a loss to conceive whether they must think themselves more
dignified as accusers , or more contemptible as partisans , of this Government , which they constantly abuse , but never dare to thwart . A better proof that the people are beginning rightly to understand and estimate the cant of Liberalism , can scarcely be afforded than the one offered by Messrs . Beale and Gill , and their honest , bold adherents , who , in the very teeth of all tbe personal feeling naturally called forth in an assembly like that to which the Honourable and " Liberal" Member was commending his political virtue and consistency , moved a resolution condemnatory of the Liberal" policy , which would thus have us to repose confidence in the Government whose policy is best expressed by " stand where you are and let us get fat "

SCOTLAND—THE DEMOCRAT . We have to acknowledge the receipt of The Democrat ^ an unstamped twopenny paper , published in Edinburgh , by John FraSER , one of the best Radicals in the Empire , and one of the best men in existence . The Democrat should be in the hands of every . working man . The number for September , is lull of the noble works which Prase r . and his worthy colleague , Duncan , have been performing during the month of August . This little publicacation breathes a soul into the body of Radicalism .
Pure and virtuous agitation is recommended . An account of sundry spirited meetings is given , all of which show the progress , that a good cause must ever make , under discreet and virtuous leaders . One of the most cheering announcements in the present number , is , the forthcoming of the True Scotsman , a weekly paper , to be established in Edinburgh , by Fraser . Let every man who bow takes the " St ar" give it up when the True Scotsman appears , and let them support their own local organ , or otherwise that organ cannot long exist . A local
paper can do more for the cause , than one published ata considerable distance . Theobjects to beattained by such a publication are , firstly the dissemination of prevailing opinions in the locality ; secondly , the fennation of unions comprising all who subscribe to those prevailing opinions ; and thirdl y , the discipline of the united disciples of those opinions . Let us but have such a paper in each county , and at once the dominion of the time-serving press fades before the wholesome breath of popular opinion . Fraser and Duncan deserve the thanks , the best
thanks , of all good men . They have ours , and ten thousand welcomes . We also beg to direct attention to the proceedings of our spirited brethren of Barhead , which will be found in our eighth page . The straightforward and manly course which the Scotch are nowparsuing , proves that their Wallace and their Bruce did not live for nothing . Scoti land is determined to heat us . The resolution passed at the Lyceum , to merge all questions in
that of the Suffrage , has done more to frighten the Whig press , and to enlist the feelings of Englishmen than all the meetings we have as yet reported . Let us only stretch the hand of friendship to all who are ready to assist . Let us , indeed , be united , and think well of each other . Let us sink jealousy , suspicion , and strife , in emulation , confidence , and co-operation , and the battle is ours without a blow . " The cause of freedom is the cause of God "

A FtAt . —On Saturday last , John Horsley , clothier , of Yeadon , near this place , was taking refreshment at the Victoria Inn , ParWane , where there were two other individuals well dressed and of gentlemanly appearance . They fell into conversation respecting the light-fingered gentry , and began to advise which was 'die safest manner of taking care of their money . After a short consideration the flash gentlemen resolved to wrap their money up in
brown pipers and place it in their watch fobs for greater eecurity . The unsuspecting countryman admired the plan j pulled out one £ 5 note and four sovereigns , and by entreaties allowed his new companions to wrap that amount up for him , but unfortunately he afterwards discovered , when he pulled the parcel out of his watchfob , that its contents were transformed into a piece of blank clean paper and three half-pence .
Harvest . —In the neighbourhood of Leeds , the corn has changed its colour very considerably during the paat few days of fine weather , and reaping has become . general . If the same propitious season should fortunately continue for a fortnight longer , a great quantity will be housed in prime condition . Garden R obbery . —^ On Tuesday , Thomas Brown , a labourer , was brought up at the Court Housey charged with , having , on that morning , stolen a quantity of ajples , the property of Mr .
Stansfield , of Burley , near Leeds . He was observed ip the garden by a servant who pursued him and gave him in charge to a policeman , with the property in a sati upon his shoulder . —The Mayor observed that he had rendered himself liable to be sent for trial ; or it was discretionary with the magistrates to impose a fine ot £ 20 , and in default of payment , they might have committed him for six months ; but on this occasion they would be lenient with him . He was committed for one month to Wakefield House of Correction .
^ ulneBazaar . —On Wednesday and Thursdayi ^ st , a Bazaar was held at Fulheck , in support of Missionary and other purposes . The scene the first day was one of uncommon gaiety and animation ; there being hundreds of -visitors ready to purchase articles of costl y and exquisite workmanship collected from various quarters of the globe—thus aiding the exertions of the most self-denying , disinterested , ana peraeyering miagionaries that ever engaged in the honourable enterprise of preaching the gospel to the penshing heathen . Among other rich and beautiful articles exhibited , were several ^ ^ speciof basketwork
mens , table-mats , &c ., by Esquimaux . The attendance the first day was very numerous , not less than £ 45 being ^ taken for admission : to the terrace , at a shilling a head , which , with the day's proceeds , Tealized upwards of £ 200 . On Tnursday . the day being yerv uriseaflbnabliB , the attendance was thin ,, and tHe receipts ^ b put one hfJI those of the first day . The total sum realized is , we underatand , about £ 300 . We have ; heard that it is not improbable , owing to the number ef beautiful foreign articles BtiU remaining unsold , that the Music HalL is Leeds , will be engaged for a day to dispose of them , and thus swell the above amount to a larger sum .
AssaCxt .- —The wife of Samuel Sinith , rbeerAotise keeper , of Kirkgate , was charged before the magistrates , on ; Wednesday lastj with haying assaulted William James , an officer , while executing a wari rant of distress , for a ^^ penalty ^^ inflicted by . ¦ " the magi » trates about two months previousl y , in consequence of an infraction pf the Beer Act .

The Leeds XTnited Orjoer qf OrjD Fkl .-lows ;——On Saturday last , the officers of the Evening Star Lodge , No / 10 , assembled at the Red Bear Tavern , bottom of Skinner Lane , for the purpose of opening k new ' Lodge . Time and circumstances would only admit of about half of the members being initiated on that night , namely , 45 , t—after which the dispensation for holding a Lodge at the above house , was read to the assembled brothers , and it was opened in due form , under the title of " Saint JohVs Lodge , Ko . 11 . " At the last Grand Lodge meeting , a dispensation ' < .
was granted to open and hold a Lodge in this union , at the General Washington , CaMline-streetj in this town , to be called the > ' White Rose Lodge , No . 12 . " It is worthy of remark , that since last Christmas , this Order has doubled itself , not only in number of Lodges , but we hope in talent , intelligence ,, and respectability , —^ with cheering prospects of several more new Lodges on the eve of opening . This rapid extension must be attributed to its / yec , its unrestrained ^ and popular government ' , ^ under fl ^ hich a despotic officer cannot reign , nor an injured brother ' s wrongs go unredressed ; but
All their actions do in concert move , And show the tokens of unchanging love . On Monday week , the members of the Labourer ' s Refuge Lodge , No , 4 , held their anniversary at the Spotted Cow , Vicar Lane , when a most sumptuous dinner was provided , which reflected the highest credit on the worthy host and hostess . The evening was spent in the usual harmonious manner much to the gratification and delightof every member . Feloky . — . On Wednesday last , a man . named Robert Smith was committted ' to Wakefield for trial , on charge of stealing a plated pint , the property of Mr . John Frances , of Kirkgate .
A Courageotjs Wife , —On Wednesday last- , a young woman named Harriet Bramham was charged before the magistrates with having broken several squares ofglatig , at the house of Mr . Joseph Holmes , Gas Makers' Arms , Meadow Lane , " it appeared that Harriet ' s husband was enjoying a glass of ale at the above house , when a quarrel arose in which he became implicated . Harriet , hearing that her husband was being very ill-used , flew to the house , and in almost less than a second had the landlady ' s cap torn in » hreds , and a brave soldrqg tully equipped in his regimentals , « prawling on JB back . She then used her best endeavours to eet * er oeiovea
out ot the crowd , but before she was aw ^ re some powerful though unseen hand pitched her right out of the house into the street , and the doors were all immediately fastened . She tried , though' ineffectually , to regain admission ; and in order to induce the parties inside to open the doors , she set to work to break the windows , and in two or three seconds smashed not fewer than half a dozen . The scheme succeeded . The door was speedily opened , and all the parties were turned into the street . The poor husband was almost strangled in the affray , aud was otherwise very ill-used . The evidence wax exceed ' - mgly contradictory , and the magistrates dismissed the case .
Marshal Soult and Toulouse . — ^ Much dispute has arisen respecting the battle uf Toulouse , rhe Quarterly Review , the Times , and other journals having taken the field . For our parts , we give Wellington the credit of victory , without , however , asserting that Soult ran away . For how could he ? Had he not the Gout ? Ah ! if he had been provided with Holloway ' s Universal Family Oiatment the case might have been altered . No one suffering from that dreadful complaint should be without a pot of this truly invaluable ointment .
Adjourned Brewster Sessions . —On Tuesday last , the . Brewster Sessions for the borough were ' resumed at the Court House , the Mayor , and Thos . Benyon , and William Cadman , Esqrs ., being on the bench . The only business transacted worthy of notice was the refusal of licenses to Mr , Sadler and Mr . Cox , two persons who lost their licenses upwards of a year ago . The mayor stated that Mr . Sadler being theindividual who was still in the eccupation of the house ( he being the person who was occupant of the house when the license was withheld ) , and the West-Riding magistrates having confirmed the
withholding of the license , it would not be regranted . The case of Mr . Francis waa somewhat different . , He was not the individual who was in thehouseat # e time the license was withheld , but the magistrates had determined not to grant the license until they were satisfied that the person who might . app > y for it was aperson of sufficient character and property . They had no objections to the character of Mr . Francis , but they were not aware whether he was a man of sufficient property . If the owner of the house had applied in proper time the license would have been renewed ; and if they applied next year it would probably be granted .
DetecrioN of ThieVES . ^ On Tuesday last , Policeman No . 20 , observing two men offering certain articles of clothing for sale , under suspicious circumstances , he took them into custody . He had not had them long in custody before the constable of Tadcaster arrived in search of . them , for the commission of a burglary . The property found upon them was identified as part of the property which was taken away when the burglary was committed . .
Ill-treating an Apprentice . —On Thursday last , a man named James Carter , a shoemaker , atNewtown , was fined 40 s . and costs , for ill-treating a parish apprentice . The boy , who seemed to be a sensible little fellow , laid before the magistrates a series of complaints which , if true , were most scandalous on the part of his master . A Seducer . —About a week ago , a party proceeded to Quarry Hill Church , in Leeds , accompanied by a person who had introduced himself under pretence of paying his addresses to a young lady of the party . Whilst at church , they were observed by a gentleman who knew the individual in question , and had previously heard something of his habits . After service , this gentleman kindly took an opportunity of informing the young female that her suitor was a married man and a father . Inquiry was set
on foot by her friends , and this proved to be the case . Tt appears that this fellow , whose wife has separated from him on account of his ill-usage , has for several years made a practice of representing himself as a single man , for the purpose of invei gling and seducing such young women as might he unguarded enough to admit of his addresses without a sufficiently accurate knowledge of his affairs and connections . Several very promising young women are said to have become the victims of his licentiousness . He haa passed in his " courtshipa" under the following names : —Mr . Renton Garr , William Varlowe , Led Peter , Angell , Williain Haddisen , Berry , and William Hartley . Of course none of them is his proper name . This is , however , known at this office , and may become more publi c than he desires if these infamous practices are persisted in .
KoBBiNa an Obghard . — A man , named Thos . Brown , was charged before the magistrates , on Monday last , with robbing the orchard of Hamer Stansfield , of Burley . He admitted the charge , and was committed . ¦ ¦ ] Ancient Romans . On Saturday last , this progressing body opened a Senate at the house of Mr . Hartley . Howarth , the Wheat Sheaf Inn ^ Bllarid , near Halifax ^ when upwards of fifty persons were admitted into membership .
Independent Order of Odd Fellows . —^ At the anniversary of the brothers of the Beckett Lodge of Independent Odd Fellows of the Yorkshire Uiriityjheld at the Oak Inn , Headingley , it was resolved by , and with the advice of the visiting brothers of the order , to present the Dispensary House of Recovery and the Eye and Ear Dispensary with two guineas each , although they are annual subscribers to the General Infirmary .
HpRTiCTjLtURAL Society . —On Wednesday last , this society had another interesting exhibition at the Music Hall , the worshipful the mayor in the chair . The exhibition waai unusually splendid , joid * good deal of interest was created by sohie of the designs , especially that of the Leeds Arms , which was very tastefully wrought with ^ dahlias . The attendance was remarkably good , consisting chiefly of ladies . .:
Oppression , —We understand that a person in this town , who was very . recently a working man , but has by some " lucky hit- ' become an employer of woollen weavers , has recently betn trying to establish a most oppressive precedent , which We warn the " woollen weavers will be uniTersally folio wed , if they allow it to be established . It seems that weavers who work in ¦ ¦ ¦ . flie workshops of their employers , have their tools found by their employers , for which they are required to do the M jobbing ' of the establiehment , arid whict we are told will , on the average ,
employ a man at least one day in the week ; - This mushroom manufacturer , whose name we forbear to mention , insists on hw men ; employed in the shop not only doing the ^ jobhing , " but paying him 8 d . per week per man besides : this being perfectly unusual ia the trade , most of the men have very properly chosen rather to leave his employment than su bm . to the imposition . We commend the men for 'their spirit ^ and we repeat our conviction that if they submit in this instance to the imposition , it will y ery soon become perfectly general . .

Owen's Science of Human Nature . —On Sunday last , being the first anniversary of th « Social Institution , established in this towrt j Mr Fleming , irom Birmingham , addressed a numerdui ' and attentive audience in their room , Jail-lahe . Ia the afternoon he dwelt on the infidelity now practised and carried on hy certain persons callipg themselvea believing Christians , and by reference to former periods shewed in a convincing . manner ^ ib ' at the present attempts to suppress Socialism , had their in
ongm me same Dad teelmgs which . had always influenced the opponents of truth in their warfare upon the rights and privileges of others . He illustrated his subject by Scriptural references , argumentatiyely applied in defence of the principles- of Socialism . The evening lecture was tbunced on a . beautiful passage of St . Paul ' s Epistles , describing the effects and importance of true Chrietian chari ^ and was ably handled by the lecturer , whilst he endeavoured to shew the value of that principle ia the formation of the human character ^ which ' he observed , ought at all times to be treated Vith kindness and forbearance under all circumstances seeing ihat the . character of the human race " is
formed for them and not by them ; therefore ; ch arity , the greatest of all the virtues , should be unceasingly made manifest in all their transactions . Truth would prevail under every species of opposition that might be brought out against it . In order to suppress its influence , the fanatics of the present day might spare their labour in that work of destruction they had now engaged in by endeavouring to stem the omnipotence of truth . The lecturer occupied the attention of his hearers about an hour in the delivery of his address , and afterwarda solicited opposition , but no one seemed inclined to dispute with him . At the conclusion a collection was made after each address , amounting to twa pounds and upwards .

Oterworkino in FACTORIES . —The following case has been sent to us by a most respectable man ; We give it just as received . If -true , it goes to affix iHdelible infamy on the character of the manufacturers implicated , and to place the Superintendent , to say the least of it , in a very questionable positioa ; — " Last week the Superintendent of FactoriM visited the miU of Messrs , Jot )/ Aspinall and Sont ) and found all right . When the mill had stopped at night , three boys , named Thomas Gibson , Richard Lingard , and Patrick Neil , waited upon the Superinr tendent , and told him that all was not right j- that they were not only worked longer than the legal time , hut also allowed le . 's than a hour and a half for meal-times . The Superintendent revisited the mill
and found the boys' report to be correct . He stun * moned the masters before the magistrate 8 ; he also summoned the . boys to appear as witnesses . In the meantime the boys met with severe' treatment at the mill ; they were required to giye up their summonsea which had been served upon them ; and on their attempting to ^ leave the mil l to attend at ^^ the Magistrates' Office , they were pursued , two ' of . -- . tkem ' brought back , and compelled to stop at their work until dinner-time , and they got a good beating in the bargain : the other boy escaped with dimcuHj but not before he felt the weight of his purauer ' B hand . He then sought the Superintendent , but wa » unable to find-him : he ran from street to street ,
inquiring " Where iB the-Superintendent ?'' One of the members of the Short Tune Gommittee inet him , whdy hearing his ir ^ uiry , asked him why lie wanted the Superintendent ? The boy , in a very artless but forcible manner , stated his case to him . arid-asked his aivice . He told him he most mini and be in attendance at the Magistrates' Office ; v » not leave it until the case was decided . Tie boj did soy and when his comrades ^ were liberated for dinner , they joined Win j so that they were all three in attendance before the case came on . The Superintendent having come to the office , went into that part where the magistrates sit : the boys did not tet .
him come in , they being in the place where the wit * nesses usually stand before they are called upon to give their evidence . The Superintendent stated n » case , but declined to call his youthful witness * Mesarsi Aspmall , who were assisted b y ^ Mr .
