      HftT . TFAS . BoiED oy GrARDiANs . —At Use Court of Requests in this town , yescenlay w £ tk , the weekly aneeting of the Board of Guardians took place . J . Watfrhouse , Esq ., the chairman of the Board , presided : eight of the elected Guardians and three ex f ^ dot w present , numbly , Messrs . "Waterhouse , Pollard , and ~ W . Brige . * . Tb « minates of the preceding meeting were read , acd « x notices o'frflarriagt . The Chairman then introduced"a subject which bad been taken up at the prerious-meeting , respecting a demand made by Mr . Washin ^ ton for some Yellum , « n which some writing or plans had been drawn out hj the order of the Boani ; bat tu the term * of wbiefe there seems to have been bo specific agreement or sanction that vellum " should be ns « d . The

      charge made was £ 40 . After a number . o ? Guardians had exercised their ingenuity in remarks for a length of time , the Yiee-CBairtn « t , "R . " Wainbouse , E « q . made a mr-ticn , which was secoeded kv G . Pollard , Esq ., acd carried unaaimously—to the t-ffrcr that a rec-ommeEdaticn be « ent up to the Cernrnisaoaers for leave to pay the same , and tbzt ' they T > e graciocsly pleased to allow the jttmi for executing the plan . " Tbe Itch Case ' was then introdcced by R . "Wainhouje , Esq ., when a discussion or debate ensued upon it of a very lengthy description . It zrose « ct of two paragraphs which h * d appeared in the Salifojr Gvardiax of a recent date , in which the writer had attempted to shew that the disorder had been introduced into the town ' s workhouse by the removal of the paupers from Skircoat workhouse , under the direction of the Board of Guardians . Mr .

      Waiahouse succeeded in proving clearly that the paragraphs in question , as far as " they refer to Skircoat , were utterly false , as no such charge could be jortiy imputed to them , the disorder never having appeared there at all , within the knowledge of any one connected with the place ; and that the introduction of it into the town ' s workhouse was through mere accidental causes . W . Briggs , Esq . stated th&t he had reeeivt d a sotice as to the £ 7 , 400 in ^ Exchequer Biils ( the loan for the workhouse ) haviDg been paid to " Wilrism * , Deaeon , and Co ., and which bore date the loth of January . . There were seven of £ 1 , 000 each , and four of £ 100 eauh . A conversation took place as to the interest anting

      from these bills , and as to whether they should at present sell aDy of them , but it terminated without asy decision being come to . At the adjourned meeting , held with closed doors , the committee appointed to inqaire into the subject of affording medical relies to oBt-door paupers , published their report , and it was agreed to ; so the Union is to be divided into 18 districts , in order to carry the plan into immediate operation . The township " of Halifax is to form two , east sad west , being divided by a lice drawn from Lee Bridge by Cro .-a Hills , ^ orthgate , Corn Market , Ward ' s End , Clare Hall-road , and Cagill ' * "Walk .

BA « ttLE .- > 0 n Friday week Iwt , the the foundation stone of the Halifax New PrWon wm laid by one of the contractors , in the presence of tha workmen only , the Whig Guardians haring particularly requested it might b * « oneas quits as posfflble . It wai for some time rumoured that tbe Guardians intended to have had & public procession , but finding what tb « feelings of the public were they Tery prudentl y relinquished the idea , notwithstanding they have the Dragoons to protect them . £ 10 , 000 may be expended in this building , yet much of the severity intended to be inBicted upon the deserving poor , may also be avoided fey returniBg humane Guardian * . We have only to point out several instances of Unions in the South , where the Boards have determined to disobey the orders of the three kings , in the carrjing out of this accursed law .

The Commissioner appointed to enquire into tht state of the Hand-loom We * vers in this district is ou a vist to this town , and mts to receive intelligence , at tbe Court of Requests , where any person desirous of making known any communications on that subject will be attended to . Sowerby Radical Association . —At the weekly meeting of the above association , the following resolut ' ous were unanimously agreed to . 1 . That we view with feelings of indignation , the attempts made by persons calling themselves friends of tbe people , to create division and sow discord among those who are contending forfreedom , by denouncing those champions of liberty , O'Connor , Oastler , and Stephens ; such friends ' " as those we utterly discard . 2 . That we place the most implicit confidence

      in F . O'Connor , as a politician , aud so loog as he continues to advocate the rights of the people , w « are determined to support him , aud as it regards the advic-e given unto us by Oastler and Stephens , to provide ourselves with arms for " self-defence , " we believe ^ it to be both " scriptural" and " constitutional , " therefore it is the imperative-duty of all persons to be so provided . 3 . That we are at a loss for language to express our abhorrence of that monster in the shape of man Daniel O'ConneU , who is in our view the very personification of all that k d esp icable and base ; and we contemptuously * purn him from us as the vileit of the viie . 4 . That the thanks of this meeting be given to the Editors of the Northern Star , for thtir able advocacy of th cause of the working classes .

      SADDLEWORTH . TO THE EDITORS OF THE NORTHrUN STAll . Bear Sins , —I will proceed to give you a sketch of what took place at tbe Sadd ! eworth Meeting on Thursday the 17 th ult . The meeting was called bv placard and signed by 40 of what are called the middle class of Whigs , and like all that the partv do , wa « called for three o ' clock in the afternoon , fo " the purpose of obtaining a repeal of the Com Laws . Immediately on the epp .-arnnce of this placard , tbe Radical committee prepared another , calling on the labouring class to attend the meeting and desire those gentlerren who would hfne to conduct the meeting , that they would be # o kind as to a-- » ist the

      people in getting a repeal of the Cum Laws and of all other monopolies whick press so heavily on the industry of the country , by the adoption of Universal Suffrage . The people were honest to our call , and they came to the meeting in hundred * , and after having been kept waiting tor nearly two hours , tbe AVb ' i £ !< at last opened the door of the room in which the meeting was held , but Sir , what was the conduct « f these men think you immediately on entering the room ? Why , to move that Mr . Thomas Robinson , of TVoodbrook , take the chair ; as soon as this had been done , one of the partv moved that the meeting be adjourned t » that any " fortnight , on the pretence that to few of the requisitionists were not than five

      present , ( more or six out of 45 . ) that they could not proceed with the business of the meeting . They had neither resolution nor petition ready , norany person to either move or second any , so what was to be done ? I mi » de an amendment to to their motion that the business for which that meeting had been called sliou'd be proceeded with . The _ amendment was carried , 15 voting for the motion , and between 200 and 300 voting for my amendment ; on the passing of which , the whole meeting rose and shouted for some lime . What was to be done—the chairman was forced to proceed with the business ; there was no motion , so I prepared one of which the followipg . u a copy : —That ibis mating is of opinion that the Coon Laws are a

      wicked and injanous tax which ought to be repealed , but , at the same time , we pledge ourselves to support the people in their endeavours to get the People ' s Charter , based upon the principles of Universal Suffrage and all the other concomitants of a Radical Reform in tbe representation of the House of Commons . " The Chairman refused to put my motion , and he of course had to leave the chair ; and Sir , I wish you could hare seen the meeting at this sta ^ e of the burfness , it was disgraceful beyond expression . The WTiigs , about fifteenia number , left tbe room with their Chairman , and as they passed through the room they were hissed and hooted by the hundreds they had just insulted b y their refusal to put the people ' s resolution . However , we appointed another Chairman , of the name of Nlayall Beaumont , and we carried our resolution

      without one dissentient . We then passed a vote of censure on the constables for their conduct on the occasion . One of them , of the name of John Greave , had the shameful impndencn to take the , candles out sf tbe room , and also to threaten that he would put us out of the room by force . But 1 immediately got upon one of the forms , for the purpose of showing to the people that ibis fawning Hypocritical nck-spittle of the Whigs wanted a riot for the purpose of getting some work for two or three of Ms companions who were ako present but although the people had been so insulted they were not to be . entrapped by such a snare as the one I have mentioned . We then went out of the room to the front of the Inn , and gave three groans for their base conduct , and went home highly delighted . Your's , &c .,

Mr . Hodgson , from Bradford , then came forward , and at some length argued Universal Suffrage as the invulnerable right of every man by birth

      Mr . Binns , of Huddersfield , was called upon to support the resolution , which he said he did with the greatest of pleasure . It w . < w a strong resolution , and one of considerable moment , inasmuch as it involved the welfare of a man who was dear to Englaad , Ireland , and Scotland . He then proceeded to speak of the exertions of Mr . Stephens ^ in his advocacy of the Factory Question , and his opposition to the New Poor Law . He observed that Mr . Oastler had done wonders on these subjects , but he acknowledged that bis services were nothing to be compared to Mr . Stephens . Mr . Oastler had been acquainted with Mr . Stephens for many years , even from his infancy , and for many years Jne , had

      lost sight of him , hearing only now-and then ' of . Ms being a supporter of a v . le and contemptible faction . But he had found him again , aud after the absence ! of years he had also found that he was not that slave to a faction which he had been represented to be , hut he was an honest and independent man , who pledged himself , to neither Whig , Tory , nor RadU ea 5 , but who was determined to take a straightforward course in advocating tbe interests of the working men of England . Mr . Binns then entered into a variety of interesting topics , and descanted at considerable length upon the present condition of the working men , and the prospect they had . of an amelioration of their circumstances . Ho concluded

      by assuring them that Mr . Stephens was their friend , and he' hoped they would support him by every means in theic ^ power . ( Cheers . ) Mr . MAUK CunBTREE was then introduced to the meeting . He said Mr . Stephens had been arrestod on account of his opposition to the New Poor L&w . ( Hear . ) H * knew how much opposition that persecuted gentleman had given to the New Poor Law , and he had heard his name mentioned as a friend of tbe poor in Bedfordshire and other place * . He had heard many of thoae who were starving for lack of food , regret that they hed not a Stephens or ah Oastler amongst them to advocate- the rights of the poor . He then proof as to the

They might rely upon it however that the-first opportunity that offered itself he would be with them , to give them such advice and information as he thought they might require . They were aware that Mr . Oastler had not agitated on the question of the suffrage ; but that his exertions had been principally directed towards the factory question and the New Poor T . aw . They knew how much he had sacrificed for the cause of the people ; and though he might differ from them as to the

      means to be adopted for their welfare , they must be convinced that he had the good of the working ciasse 8 ,: J » t ; rfear t . ( Cheer * . ) He ( Mr .
