      BAE . NSLEV . —Trade . —This town is now in a distressed state , owing to the want of employment , the manufacturers beiDg reducing their hands more than one half ; add to that the inclemeiicy of the weather , which renders it doubly painful to poor men , who have to leave the town and go eeek work elsewhere ; indeed , tbe wonder to us is , how they find men to work for them , when we contemplate that there is never more than four or five months partial work . BUBTON . —On Thursday night week , Mr . Day's house , of Burton , was broken into by some thieves , and a large quantity of bacon , butter , and cheese taken therefrom , together with a vast deal of linen , and wearing at > parel , and also some geese from an outhouse . If the times continue as they are , without a remedy , for any length of time , the working classes will be converted into a body of thieves

      HUDDERSPIEX . D . —Middle Class Justice . — Hear this , oh ! ye pretended followers of the meek and lowly Jesus , but in reality the worshippers of Mammon . —A manufacturer , residing ) at Mold Green , one of the cheap bread men , and what is worse , a " pillar" of a certain religious body in this town , a few weeks since received his account for gas supplied during the last winter , which account amounted to rather more than he expected . Well , what of that ? You shall hear ; this ** Pillar , " this " Cheap Bread" man , immediately sets to work , and calling his workmen together informed them that each of them owes him for what—ga 3 , the sum of nine shillings and sixpence ! Oh ! sixpence per week for the last nineteen weeks past . —Of

      course the poor workmen , whose wages are small enough , God knows , remonstrated , but it was of no avail ; they must either submit to the impost or quit , and several who would not submit to be robbed , were turned to the wide world , in the midst of a hard winter , to starve , for having the impudence , as it was termed , to resist the tyranny of this tyraut . One of his men , more determined than the rest of his fellow-workmen , being also a member of the body , expostulated with him upon the tyranny and the unchristian principle of such conduct . Thereupon the noble minded pillar flew into a terrible rage , and the poor man who thus had the honesty and firmness to reason with this pretty tyrant , was dismissed intlanter' !

      Christian Charity . —Last week , a poor woman from Bayhall , was brought to the parish church for interment , and being ten minutes too late , tke humble minister of the church would not inter her until the extra sum oi" 4 s . Od . was paid , and that first , too , which had to be collected from the people there on the spot ; tbe poor woman having been buried by subscription ! >' ew Bastile Practice , by a Female at Huddeuskield . —When the present overseers of Hudgave up possession of the workhouse , to the Guardians , they expelled Mr . and Mrs . Brunton , who , for humanity and good order , were unsurpassed in their office of master and mistress of the house , and put in their stead a lunatic of the name of Mr . W .

      Taylor , from Sheffield , with his aunt , a widow named Ainsworth , who had been expelled for conduct which cannot be named here . The iusane nephew , who wa 3 placed there in order that the woman might have tbe sole command , was , within a fortnight , sent back to Sheffield , wrapped in blankets , < kc . to his mother : he returned , and was soon packed to Blackpool , and on his return ( . after being repeatedly told that the order of things was reversed by placing a madman over the sane inmates of the workhouse ) was dismissed , and again seat back to his mother at Sheffield , aud hid aunt ( Jtzebel , as she is commonly called ) left in posse-sion . This termagant has had the execrations of Ui ) out of every lUO rate-payers : she has only the support of the

      sarewgut Guardians , a 3 she is so well Sued to their purposes of oppression , supplying small quantities of coarse food , and flogging . A widow , who had been an iumate of the said workhouse , left it to be married , leaving a child in the house , she having no means by which to support it . Shortly after the mother had left , the J « zebel of a mistress engaged this child to a collier at Thornhill ; who , finding that he ( the child ) had no strength , returned him , not to the workhouse horn which he took him , but to the mother . This woman ( the workhouse mistrest ) if she deserves the « ame of woman , took upon herself thus to dispose of the child without the knowledge of the overseers of the poor , or the poor house committee , bo that no human being is sale in her custody . Now , mark ! The child ia seven years old : he weighs 42 pounds , and measures 41 ] inches

      in height . What will the mothers of England say to this I Wiil they submit to have unprotected infancy driven to labour in a coal pit by a barren termagant—a fiend like this—a tool of' the tools and tyrants at Somerset House ? The case of this child has been twice before the Board of Guardians , a number of whom attempted to put down the enquiry by clamour , but , it would not do , they were compelled to acknowledge the crime of their protegee and that she had done wrung , and imagined that this would get her out of the scrape ; but it is intended to make a motion that she be called before the board , repwonnded , and dismissed .

      BIRMINGHAM . Public Office . —The Crime of Puvkutt . — Mr . Johnson was charged by a policeman with breaking a square of glass in the shop window of Mr . Showell , booksellor . New-street . The case excited great attention , and shows up the condition of the industrious population of this " happy country . " It appeared , from the statement of the policeman , that the prisoner came up to him in the street , and asked him where he was to apply for relief , as he had been a day without food . The policeman advised him t © go to the workhouse . The prisoner answered that he had been there , and was refused relief ; that ho did not want to steal , as that would cause him to Iobo his character ; but that he must have something to eat , if he wa 3 forced to go to prison for it , aud thereupon thrust his hand through a square of glass . . The policeman immediately took him into the shop , in order that the

      owner shouid be satisfied . Mr . Showell having questioned him , and finding that the man was in extreme distress , immediately supplied him with necessary refreshments , and wished him to be set at liberty ; but understanding that he was determined to have an asylum to protect him from hunger , he consented to his being taken to the Police Office . This statement was corroborated by Mr . Showell , who did not seem inclined to injure the prisoner . Mr . George Redfearn , prison keeper , stated that so numerous were the offences committed for the purpose of being sent to prison , that the magistrates were compelled to order that they should be kept the first month on bread and water . Mr . Lawrence , the sitting magistrate , then ordered that the prisoner should be confined to hard labour for six weeks , the first four on bread and water .

      Robbery of a Barber ' s Shop iiy a Policeman . —Manchester , Feu . 4— On Thursday morning , Mitchell M'Clough was brought before Mr . Maude , at the Borougk Police Court , Manchester , on , a charge of having stolen a razor and comb , under the following ciacumatanees : —Mr . Peirse , Police Inspector , said that Mr . Hanson , hair-dresser , of Great Ancoat ' sstreet , came totae office , and stated that he had been robbed of a comb and razor , and that the Bame had been found in the prisoner ' s coat pocket . Mr . Hanson , prosecutor , was then sworn . He said that the prisoner , M'Clough , came to his shop to be shaved , and wheu he ( Hanson ) had shaved him , the prisoner gave him a shilling to get changed , so that he might pay him . Hanson went out to proenre change , and returned and

      gave it to him . Shortly after , Mr . Nathaniel Peck cume into his shop . Hanson told Peck that he had been robbed of a comb and a Tazor , and that no one had been in the shop but the prisoner and Mr . Peck ; but he "was sure that Peck had not taken them . Mr . Peck , who Is a respectable man , replied "No ; it must be the policeman . " Hanson immediately went to tbe policeman's lodgings , and inquired for him . He m informed that he was asleep in bed . A topcoat hung in the room , and Hanson asked the woman with whom M'Clongh was lodging , whether he might be allowed to search the pockets ; permission was given , and the result was , that he drew out the comb and razor now produced from the pockets

      of the policeman . Mr . Maude asked the prisoner what he had to say for himself . Prisoner said he went to the shep to be shaved ; and as the barber had been in the habit of cutting hair for the force , and aa he had no comb , he thought he might get one from the barber , but it was his intention to have returned it . Mr . Maude—Why did you not ask for it ? Pruoncr answered—Because , being a policeman , he though he might take it without asking . The Superintendent , Cochrene , merely corroborated the evidence of Hanson and Peirse . Mr . Maude to Hanson—Are you sure those articles are yours ? Hanson— -Yes : he could swear to them , because his name was npon them . Mr . Maude , without further hesitation , committed the prisoner to take his trial at the Sessions .

If New South Wales had been culled , and the scrapings of all hell collected together , it could not have overmatched it ; and whether the

      day did not prove so fortunate for their nefarious practices as they wished , they were determined to make it out by their evening's maraudings . On their return from the brutal place , they robbed all they fell in with ; and since I hare begun writing these few lines , three daring robberies hare been committed in the broad light . A person of the name of L-jftu * , ( Baabury ) a teacher of French and drawing , had been the same afternoon receiving his pay , and on his return home , when about one hundred yards from the Adderbury Turnpike Gate , a cart with five or six fellows in it overtook him , stopped , and asked him to ride .

      evening , and the Sovereign coach , from London to Leamington , w ; vs at the bar at the same time , and a shepherd was not fifty yards from the place ; but the poor man knew nothing of it till afterwards , as he had no chance of making any alarm whatever . The same evening , King ' s Sutton Church was broken into , but luckily there they had their trouble for their pains . On Thursday evening , a respectable architect , of Banbury , was coming home , and whea within a few yards of Hopcroft ' s Holt , on the Oxford Road , was stopped by four men , and robbed of about twenty shillings in silver , and also his watch , worth £ 4 , with which they got safe off . Such is the pastime—I beg pardon—the wickedness which oar legislators , aristocrats , and bull-headed frog farmers , the fifty pound captives , and our superiors t ?) patronise , and publish in a paper , which might bo very properly called Hell ' s Life in London .

      Destructive Fire in London . —On Tuesday morning , at ten o ' clock , a fire originated on the premises of Messrs . Painter and Co ., the extensive cabinet-manufacturers , Finsbury-pavement , Moorfields , which has involved the total destruction of that spaciou . s buildiug . The area occupied by it was almost an acre in extent , and the top of it was surmounted by a dome . The fire , it is supposed , arose from the boiling over of some varnish in one of the warehouses , which » vas situated nnder the roof . Mr . Painter had prompt information of the unfortunate circumstance , and ho directed his servants to proceed instantly for the engines . The inflammable properties of the varnish , however , soon communicated to the other materials in the room , when it

      became soon evident that no effort could arrest the progress of tho devouring element . The flames raged with fury , and rushed from floor to floor with amazing rapidity , and passing out at the windows , carried them across the street , which is there about 200 feet wide . The various engines from the different stations of the London Fire Brigade quickly arrived , but water was not tupplied with sufficient promptitude . Long before eleven o ' clock the whole of the Messrs . Painter ' s premises were in one . ^ olid flame ; they presented an awful sight ; and such was its power , that many persons in Chiswell-street were unable to remain there . At the houses on the opposite bide of tho pavement , the shutters of the shops of which wero put , tho shopmen

      were compelled to be employed in flinging buckets of water upon them . The engines also played above , the effect of which was to prevent their ignition . By this time , however , the house adjoining the Messrs . Painter's , which was occupied by a medical man , at the corner of Finsburysquare , caught fire . The rear of the houses to the south , also , in Cross-street , belonging to Massrs . Baker and Co ., importers of foreign wines , of Mr . Everest , a wine merchant , and of Messrs . IMlard and Co ., paper hanging manufacturers , wero in the same situation , and unfortunately the wind was blowing in that direction . During the progress of destruction carried on by the devouring element , occasional explosions were heard , which were

      supposed to proceed from different iuilammable bodies , while largo burning masses of furniture were frequently driven among the crowd . At eleven 9 'clock ,-a . large portion of the front wall of the premises fell down . Fortunately it descended in a perpendicular direction . An immense mass of dense and heated smoke instantly arose , which had a terrific appearance . As soon as it passed away the whole interior of the premises presented a dreadful scene , while the heat was much more intense . As it was impossible for the engines to produce any effect upon tho building , the men exerted themselves to arrest the progress of the names from causing further damage to the adjoining

      houses . A largo body of police of the G division , under Inspector ;; Robinson and Slacket , were present to keep oft ' t he immense crowd assembled together . The loss of property is said to exceed £ ¦ 2 . 1 , 000 . No portion of Messrs Painter and Co . ' s premises and manufactory a jo remaining ; the whole are burnt to thegiound . The firm are insured in the Phajnis Fire Office , but , Mr . Painter Btates , far below the extent of property consumed . The premises of Dr . Shoveller , No . 50 , adjoining , and at tho corner of Finsbury-square , are completely gutted . He is insured in the Protestants' and Dissenters' Fire Office . No . 49 , Finsbury-square , belonging to Mr . Gregorie , professor , seriously damaged by water ; insured . Houses on the west side of the Pavement ,

      opposite the premises burned down , No . 1 , belonging to Messrs Cater and Wood , part damaged by fire ; No . 2 , Mr . Evans ; No . 3 , Mr . Reymond ; No . 4 , . * > , 0 " , 7 , 8 , and 9 , similarly damaged . Several house .-, in Cross-street have sustained damage . Most of the occupiers * re insured . The cause of the fire cannot be learnt . An accident occurred during the racing of the fire to a mau in . working oue of the engines . He had the ends of his fingers jammed off , and is now at St . Bartholomew's Hospital . Nearly the whole of the premises now destroyed formerly belonged tothe far-famed bookseller , Mr . Lackington , who , from the very humble couditien of penny the

      trifles in the streets , became successively proprietor of an old book stall , a librarian and bookseller , aud , in the result , realised an immense iortune , after which he wrote his life to explain to the rising generation the way in which he had from the very smallest of beginning created for himselr , by his prudence and economy , the eminence which He then occupied . During his occupancy of the spacious premises in Finsbury-square , a sensation was caused by the driving of one of the mail-coaches round the circular counter in Ibis immense shop , above which , in his time and for many subsequent years , arose a dome containing several galleries filled with a vast assortment of books .
