Hoatson said there bad been a Jecrease of 4 , 000 in the last year . The chairman aid rbat an increase of infanticide had betn
appreitij-jt-d as the consequence of the law ; bat that ll-o had decreased . Mr . Little stated that it could nor be txpected that a bill to amend the law would be brousbt in , merely npon their petition . Mr .

Mr . Ralph stated fiat the building committee had not had a meeting , because most of the members were out of the town . The plan of the workhouse has been approved of bv

Seizure of Chukch Rates at Tong . — We-consider it necessary to lay before our reader * the whole of the circumstances , which are briefly these . A meeting was called in Augur-t , 1836 , to lay a church-rate at Tong . The amount proposed by the churchwardens was 6 d . in the pound , and au amendment was then made that the meeting do adjourn to that day twelve months ; and on a show of hands being taken , only one hand was held up for the rate ; yet the chairman , the Rev . Mr . Dixon , would not dismiss the meeting , but pressed several times for some person to propose a less sum , which it was argued be had no right to do , as the meeting was adjounrned . Still tke chairman pressed for a
rate . It was then proposed to have 3 d . in the pound ; and there were eleven hands held up in it * favour , and about sixty for the adjournment . Not --arisfied with this , the churchwardens demanded a poll , which it was agreed should take place on the Monday week following , to commeneeat ten o ' clock . Four of tbe opposing party were there a little after nine o ' clock , when they found the church party already assembled and proceeding with the busiuess , which they maintained was strictly legal . However ) the chairman proposed to adjourn the meeting , when it was asked , if a poll was not to take place . The answer wan , that he would have a show of hands for the dismis > - al of the meeting . It was then asked
of the chairman , if he intended to give up the poll ; be answered , yes . The church party immediately retired , jnst at the time when those opposed to the rate were entering the room . The chairman instantl y ordered them all out of the school-room , he being one cf the trustee ? , declaring they had no business there . In some time after , another notice was posted , calling a meeting to lay a church-rate . The people attended to know the time , when they saw the vicar , and asked him if there was not going to be a meeting ; be said no : but in some rime after this a meeting was hsld , and a kind of voluntar y rate wii collected . In the preswityfear there was another meeting calledand a
, rate proposed of 3 jd . in the pound . An amendment was again made , that the meeting should adjourn to that day six months , until the valuation of the township should be made , which was overruled by the church party , and a poll was demanded , « hicb was refused by the chairman ^ in conseqiienee of which , an ordt-r was obtained for the payment of the rate and costs , and although in one case the money was tendered , yet it was refused , and a distress made upon two individual * , and their goods taken away and sold . Thty took from John Hargreaves a ham weighing 181 bs ., a sack , carr , a hackney saddle , a pail , and a large pick ; and from Samuel Brook , two valuable tables which cost
* 1 . 15 « . The constable deliven-d the account which we transmit to you verbatim , and which proves to what an alarming extent education has progressed , amongst the supporters of the lawestablished church , who courfder themselves the respectable portion of tbe enmmuniry . After receiving the summons , Brooke ' s wife went to Clongn , the churchwarden , to settle with him , when be directed her to the constable , when sbe got there she offered him nine shillings , which he refused , saying he wanted ten shillings ; when she offered him the ten shillings , he told her he wanted 11 shillings and ' sixpence . Brook then went himself and asked him if he had not had the money offered , which he
acknowledged ; but said he must go to the Vicar . The ultimate result was tbe distress levied on tbe goods and chattels . The following is a vtrbatim copy of the account rendered by the constable .

Police News . —A multiplicity of legal business occupied the attention of the ^ Magistrates' Court , during the past week , principally consisting of
ordinary matters , and the columns of onr present number being reqnired for more important intelligence , we necessarily abridge our report to the selection of a few cases . It will be recollected that we recently invited attention to the incongrnity of a bungling yet despotic piece of legislation commonly called the " Worsted Art , " and we regret to have again to record another instance of its injustice . Anthony Fainday , a poor weaver in the employment of one David Greenhough , was lust week charged with having in his possession embezzled materials , which -were seized "under a search , warrant , and which ne accounted for bv stating they were his master ' s property , and required time to
produce him . The case was accordingly adjourned , bnt Greenhough disobeypd a summons legally served upon ^ him , reqmring his attendance , and the act not giving further authority to compel the attendance of witnesses , the nnfortunate defendant wa * committed to prison in default of payment of ahravy penalty , imposed by an iniquitous act which creates aii offence , but neglects to provide the means of disproving a false accusation . Base Conduct . An iron bearted fellow , ofthsname of Elsworth , who lets some rooms in a mill at Trar , to oneBentley , and having a
disagreement with his servant , took occasion to revenge himself upon an inoffensive child of Bentley ' s , who happened to be standing in the mill yard tne other day , by throwing a quantity of hot ashes upon him , for which mean and cowardly action , Ehraorth . was apprehended and attended before the magistrates on Wednesday last , to answer a charge of assault very properly laid against him . Messrs . Clarkson and Ceoper , appeared for the complainant , and Mr . Alexander , for the defendant ; the case being clearly proved , Mr . A . addressed the court in mitigation of damages , and a nominal fine of Is . and expences was inflicted .
Nobthbrjt Union . A great number of the working men of this town met , on Monday night last , pursuant to notice , at the Hope and Anchor Inn , in this town , to enrol themselves as members of the great Northern Union . The room was crowded to excess , and numbers retired , not being able to gain admittance . Addresses were delivered by Mr . . P . Bussey . and Mr . FHkethley , of Huddersfield , on the necessity of a general combination of the people for the achievement of their rights . About 200 persons enrolled themselves as members , and tbe meeting separated .
HUli . False Balances . —Two of those rascals who live by defrauding the poor , appeared- before the mayor on Monday , charged by Mr . Ogleby , inspector of weights and measures , with having in their / possession scales for weighing flour , so balanced as at erery weight to cheat the customer of about two ounces of the article . The names of these worthies , who we think , onght to be held up
to public contempt , are William Lidgott , of Coganstreet , grocer ; and John Maude , of Lower Union - street , baker , tidgort said he thou ght the scale had a right to have a balance—he always did . justice as &r f » be was able . A great lump of patty was taken from bis scale in open court , and some had been taken from it by his wife , previous to bang brought thither . The mayor said such proceedings were abominable ; and he was determined to punish the offenders . The scales and beams were forfrif ad and in addition , he fined each of them 10 s . and . coses . ¦ ¦' - ¦ - - .- ¦

Juvenile Pickpockets . —James Xennard , James Loughborongb , WilUam Cameron , and James Smith were brought up by the police , charged with going about the Market-place , trying to pick pockets and abstract anything they could catch from the stalk in the market . Lennard was reprimanded and discharged ; Loughborough and Cameron , being well-known characters , were sent to hard labour : for three months ; and Smith for one month ; they all three promise fair to take a sea voyage some day at the public expense .
Baptist Missions . —On Monday evening last , the anniversary meeting of the Hull Auxiliary to the Baptist Missionary Soriity , washaiden in George-* treet chapel . The Rev . R . Finch , the Rev . J . Larson , and several other ministers , addressed the meeting , declaring tbe various' success which has attended the labours of the society , tcgetber with its . present prospectn , pecuniary and otherwise , and ' : urjr- injr , in a variety o' ways , the claims of the heathen world to the sympathy of the Christian church . On the previous sabbath , sermons were preaohed in behalf of the society , ' in various chapels in the town by the above gentlemen and other ministers . The collections were considerable , but we are not able to state the amount .
The Aurora Borealis . —This curious and interesting phenomena , the causeof which has hitherto remained undiscovered , was seen for several hours on Saturday , and again for a short time on Sunday evenings . The appearance on both occasions ! was that of a thin white vapour mounting upwards in the most picturesque and graceful and undulations , from which magnificent corruscations of light darted in every direction , with the rapidity and almost with the brilliancy of li ghtning . On Saturday night , from half-past twelve to near one , the scene was awfully grand , the northern heavens appeared as if li ghted up by a clouded moon , and the flashts or rather pillars of light mounted to the zenith with majestic sublimity—we saw four columns of flame at one time . The scei : e on Sunday night , was equally grand , but only for a Khort time .
Christian Church , Fetter-Lane .- — -On Sunday last , the fiist anniversary of this place of worship , was celebrated b y the delivery of three discourses , by the Kev . Messr » . Town * > hend and Spencer , after which , collections were made towards dtlrajing the expenc-es of fitting up the church . On the following Motday evening , the members and friends took tea together in the game plate , and enjoyed , we understand , a pleasant and social evening ' s entertainment .
Socialism . —Mr . Higby , of Leeds , delivered three able lectures on the principles of Socialism , in the "Victoria rooms , on the 10 th , 11 th , aud 12 tb of September , which were moderatel y well attended . 1 o those lectures , three very able replies , were we are informed , delivered in the infant school room , Highstreet , nnder the patronage of the Hull and East-Kiding Temperauce Association , on the 17 th , 18 tb , and 19 th instant , by Mr . Pallister , oi Leeds . . The public of HbIi appear to take very little interest in the questions at issue .
Serious Accident . A shocking accident ocenrred on" Monday last , to a poor man named Gibson , who resides in the Groves , while employed iu the deal yard of Messrs . Barkworth and Co ., on the old dock side ; a number of deals fell upon him and crushed him in a dreadful mauner , the timber was removed as quick as possible , but lite waa nearly extinct , as he only gave one groan and immediately spired . Yerdict— " Accidental death . " The deceased was an elderly man about sixty years of age .
Bricks » . Brains . —On Thursday , the i 3 tb instaut , pursuant to public notice , the ad . ouiued uieering of the ratepayers of the parifh of St . Mary ' s , took place in the church , the Kev . John Scott , incumbent and vestry clerk , in the chair . Scarcely a scene so disgusting has been exhibited , as that which took place on this memorable , occasion Instead of the full accounts being brought forward , the chairman produced a partial account made up of such items as he said belonged to the rate , and which , therefore , the parish had a right to know , and kept back others which be stated were to be paid outofthepewage , and of which , the churchwardtus
refused to give any account , yet being bound by law to do so . Mr . Rimer , and others , -objected that those were not the accounts which they had met to examine , but the chairman and his Tory friends bad made up their minds to have matters all their own way , and to talk to them was as u « lt « a a ? to throw feathers against the wind . Under these circumstances , Mr . Bateson moved aud Mr . T . Lambert seconded a resolution , ' that the meeting be adjourned for a month , ' upon which , Mr . Darton , a rabid old Tory , moved as an amendment— ' that the accounts be instantly past , ' on tbe ground that it was abominable to suppose that two respectable men
could do wrong . This sage amendment was seconded by Mr . Alderman Malatn , ( who had £ 18 for gas depending on the issue , ) on the principle that he paid his rates willingly , and also willingly supported other charitable institutions , and , therefore , it was only light that the accounts should be passed . The wisdom of this logic was so apparent to the chairman , that he actually thanked Mr . M . for his handsome remarks . On a show of hands , the chairman declared the amendment was carried , upon which a squabble endued , and it was finall y demanded that the numbers should be counted , when there appeared for the adjournment , sixty-eight , for
the amendment , fifty-seven—majority eltven ; after which ensued another squabble about a poll , which was demanded by theTories , and , in spite of the opposition of the opponents of the rate , gran ed by the chairman . On Friday , the poll opened at nine o ' clock , and then commenced the contest of bricks against brains . The Tories came up with their four and six votes each , while the Rer . T . Scott , brother of the parson , stood at the table prompting the voters . Some one not liking this waut of fair play , told him he had no business there , upon which the chairman said , he had the p « wer to appoint his deputy , and would appoint his brother , which he did , and went himself to canvass for voters , several of whom were led up to the tahlt leaning on the arm of his reverence , to vote as he de « ir » d ; indeed , such
was the anxiety of the church party to gain this point , that Wetwand , the out-g « ing churchwarden , actually voted for the passing of his own accounts ! The poll closed at seven o ' clock , when by the grossly partial conduct of the chairman , and the corrupt state of the law , ( Sturges Bourne's act ) a small majority of votes was obtained for passing the accounts . The numbers polled at this remarkable contest , notwithstaading the success of the church mice , has most certainly sealed the doom of churchrates in the parish of St . Mary ' s , are as followsvotes for passing the accounts 216 ; for the adjournment 193 ; majority 23 . Persons for the adjournment 168 ; for jassiDg the accounts 130 ; majority of persons against the minister and churchwardens 38 .

Smith proposed that on Monday morning tue names of every person in every district should be called over , and mustered , man j woman , and child , and let them answer to their names , and see who was absent . Mr . Bamford wished to know
by what means they should be . mustered—^ whetber by compulsory means ? Mr . Smith said he would not use any compulsion . ' -, fttr . Bamford did not 8-e then , how it could be done . . It was ordered thaf all who , intended going to the meeting should assemble at the market-place at the hour before mentioned . Mr . Bamford said , as the deputation would convey a me > sage from that meetiug to the masters , it was essential to know what sort ol message they should take , andsuggested that it niight be sw well if they requested the employers to permit such of their hands to attend the meeting as wished it , when there would be no necessity for closing entireworki , and such as preferred
remaining at their employ might do so . He thought that would b& morei readily granted than the shutting up of any entire works . An operative said the masters would then tjnd out who were inclined to politics and who were not , and might take advantage ot them afterwards . He was opposed by Mr . Hamford ' s suggestion . Mr . Bamford said , if it came to that ac last , that the workiBg population were afraid of their employers knowing their sentiments on politics or reli gion where was that moral force of which so much had been said ? Where was that strength of unity which they proposed to demonstrate ? It Was a mere rope of sand ; a mist , which the slightest bretze would dissipate . The objector said if Mr . Bamford had a large family he
would be cart'tul . Mr , Bamford admitted that very likely he would . Men's circumstances were continually operating to fit or unfit them for these struggle * ; aman with five or six little ones clinging to his knees for bread , had much to exercise his mind ; but if , under all circumstances , he were atraid of his employers knowing his opinions or wishes , he would not be of much use ; be would be found a weak link in the day of trial . Such men would be absent by thousands when wanted . Robt . Wilde proposed that the deputatioti should deliver what message or ' ' request they thought proper . Finall y , it was resolved to be guided by the printed placard , aad to ask for an entire dosing of all works .
ASHTON . Singular Detection . — ^ On Wednesday , before Mes « rs . Jowett , Ousey , and Harrison , at Ashton-under-Lyne , Thomas Radcliffe was charged with felony under the following circumstances . He lodged with one Tedd y Kommart y , as did also a young woman named Elizabeth Nolan , The latter went to lodge at another place , leaving a box containing wearing apparel at Komrnarty ' a in security , forwent . Last Sunday , two children of Richardson ' s , one a girl about ileven , and the other a boy , about seven years of age were at his lodging . ' -, and
heaetit tht-m with a ' covered basket containing as be informed tbem ^ two shirts of his own , to convey to another person . Op the road the gif ! opened the basket and lound under the shirt * , some articles of female apparel , which she thought grand , and to decorate herself she took out a smartish tippet , and put it on . They had not gone far , when Elizabeth . Nolan met them , and knowing the tippet took it from the girl , as well as the other things of her , arid afterward * made the charge to the police of Stal ybridge who apprehended Rndcliffe . The children were sworn , and said th « -y had the basket from the father ; and the latter declared he did not know the
woman s things were in it when he gave it to the children . He was committed . Lrcture on the Corn Laws . —On Friday the 14 th , tbe Rav . J . W . Morris , of Dean-row , delivered a lecture in the Hptebottem Chapel , Newton , in Cheshire , on the Corn Law « . The lecturer strongly urged the necessity of the people to use all their exertions to the removal of this obnoxious impost ; without exhorting them to get rid of other equally existing evils , or pointing out a general and tfftetual remedy , and at the conclusion a > ked tor discussion . Mr . Sidebottotn after detailing the oppressiveness of the Corn Law * , said it was but o- "e of the diseases of the state , and a removal of
all of them , would as easily be obtained as the single repeal of the Corn Laws . For instance , tbe sectarians bad year after year petitioned lor a removal of their disabilities all in vain . The poor wire now affected by a monstrous law ; the labourer in fact paid more than one-hair ' of his wages to uphold a tyrannical government of Whigs and Tories , neither of whom having any intent to do justice to the people ; and the Whigs were powerless even i < they intendtd . There was not the slightest probability of the present government repealing the Corn Laws , they being great landowners and the lawsw ere made to protect their land ? He did not wish the attention of the people at this important crisis to be
drAwn to the repeal of any single measure or evil for the same demonstration that would be required to repeal the Corn Laws , would -effect a full and satisfactory remedy for all the existing evils of tbe state , and that wou | d be by the people choosing their own re } Tesentativt 8 . Here some of the ignorant and selfish enfranchised became uneasy . Mr . Beunet , the most active Whi g in the district , and a Poor Law Guardian , in his usual , nervous , and ludicrous habit , said Mr . Sidebottom was off the question . Mr . Sidebottom Said he had strictly and
impartially adhered to the question . Mr . Morris proceeded to deliver some hand bills of his intention to deliver another lecture next week , and he then offered for sale some of the North Cheshire Reformer newspapers , a Whig and Poor Law supporting journal , and so the discussion ended . Mr . Sidebottom ' s conduct in this , as well as on other occasions is commendable ; for all partiea of labouring men ought to unite at this time to obtain Universal Suffrage , and not be led ^ astray by Whig trickery .

The poor lad got a living by . hawking salt , and was xo employed when he . fell under the notice of this conservator of the laws . Mr . T . GruMdy , on behaif of the poor fellow , indignantly reprehended thf attempt , and the charge was dismisfed . Dootson said , " perhaps the magistrates would allots i \ w lad to pay the expenses ? " Oh , certainly not , where
there is no ease , and the youth went iu haste , chuckling with delight , out of court . A decent tanner-looking man htrjet appeared , on the case of Mr . Dootson , to answer for his earttr , for riding in the townshi p of Radcliffe . He said his man was a very honest servant , and had been a carter fifty years . It was likely he was riding , as the informer stated , he was lame , haying had a bone taken from his leg ; he was compelled by his lameness to ride sometimes . He was a vefy honest worthy servar . t , and the witness kept him on , almost from charity , he having been a carter so long . Topav fiveshilling ^ and costs , and if not fit fbr carting serviof , he must give it Up .

Thorpe Said it was no time of night to come in , Phelan said it was a reasonable hour ; words erisue < l > and he demanded his clothes and hia bill tor lodging , when Thorpe ' s wite charged him for two night's lodging , and some ale . Phelan demurred , and said he owed for no ale , it ituM be spirits ,
whereupon Thorpesetathim , gothimdown , punched him , and to finish , set a large hull dog at him , which bit and worried him whilst he was dtlending himselt against Thorpe . The complainant ' s forehead and face were bruised , and scarred , and hia eves bloodshot , and as red as ferrets . Mr . Thomas Grund y cross-examined him very roughly , but without effect , and called a witness who only saw the assault in progress . The defendant was merely ordered to pay the eostij , on which he gave a specimen of bis temper , by throwing down a sovereign , and coarsely impugning the justice of the magistrate ' s decision . Mr . Lomas , with whom was Mr . Wood , ordered him to he put back and find bail for his good behaviour .
