V SIAB . 5 : ; a 5--Beirg cue of the chairmen appointed to pre-Ede over vhe Public Discussion between Messrs . parson and Watkins , at the Hall of Science , City ¦ twad , on Tuesday evening last , I of cn-jTBe had no oppornnity on th ' at occasion of expressing my sentiments on the questions at ii = ue between the respeetiTe panies . I now therefore trust to your ^ aparr . ality for liberty to express my opinions thro
ugh the medium of the extensively read columns Of the Aort&err , Star . I am anxious for that publicity to avow my confictions , boldly and regardless o ' f personal consequences , in order that no man shall suppose I wish to shelter myself m . u-. r the shield of ^ ntrality . or that I would silently allow of , thereby ** eit ] j ^ co nsenting to , the in £ ; ction of injaFtrce on ffi si who , in my con&eience , from long observation , ^ Sa intimate acquaintance , I believe to be of ^ ood owral character , unsullied political integrity , and the zealous friends of the liberties of tie people ; in other tkqt&s . of the principle of the People ' s Charter—I mean WUiiam Lovett and He ^ rv Hetherineton .

REiSO . fS For di-senting from the proposition " That the charges made by Mr . Watkins are fully established . " 1 st . Because Mr . Watkins having charged Mr . fjSJ " . ^^ " echoing ( in rha pamphlet called CnaniEm ') the Whig crv that the people are too

igr ibraat t * da entrusted wift the SufErage ^ ' this charge , wai in my opinion , fully disproVeiby Mr . Wateon , who read seTersd passages from Mr . Lotetrs book , expivsaljr * ifirtckd against , and pointedly ooudemnfegrsuca '«; doctrine . 2 nd . Because , Mr . Watkins haying charged Mr . Lovett with entering lot * » compact to sell the people , instancing as proof an interview of Mr . Loyett with Mt . Hume and others , respecting s proposal of ( he latter to effect a union between the middle , classes and the Chartists ; this eharge was also directly refuted by the testimony , of Mr . "Vincent who was present , to the effect that Mr . Lovett tefuaed to accept the proposals of Mr . Hnme , stating his determination not to connect himself with an agitation for any object short of the People's Charter
PSOTEST Against the competency of the meeting to decide on the truth or falsehood of the charges xoadeiy Mr . Watkins against Mr . Hetherineton . 1 st . Because Mr . Watkins , having asked wh y Mr Watson took upon himself the defence of his friends , and why they did not come forward to defend themselves , gave as a reason that they eitherfwonld not or dared not . Mr . Hetherington * on presenting himself to the meeting , was in violation of all fairness , and with the most unmanly , nay , cowardly and brutal menaces of personal violence , refused a near ins ; .
2 nd . Because , in conseqn « nce of such refusal , and of the disorderly and disgraceful conduct of the " discordant spirits , " the " barking dogs . " as Mr . Watkins ' s chairman called them , and with the concurrence of my brother chairman and of Mr . Gardner , the moderator , declared the meeting dissolved , and Mr . Cameron also rose for the same purpose , but amid the clamour and tumult that ensued he was indnced contrary to his previous ¦ determination to submit the motion and amendment , the meeting however ( by its oondnct in refusing a hearing to an accused party , as also by the act of one of its chairmen sanctioned by the other , and by the-moderator ) having become incompetent to decide on such motion and amendment . 3 rd . Because I will not participate in , or sanction by silence , the injustice of men who give ear to a slanderer ( who offers no proofs in support of his calumniator ) and convict an innocent man unheard .

TO . THE EDITOR OP THE WBTHEBM : « CAJt . Sir , —I was reflecting upon the multitudinous sins ' committed against the people by iiAr&seally Wnigs ; I wasgl * dat the thought of the benefit whtoh would accrue to the cause of universal liberty through the exertions of the UN-caged " Lion f I felt Borrow that victims should yet remain in the grasp of the oppressor , and I sighed for the restoration of The Factory Child ' s Friend , " when my cogitations were most pleasantly disturbed by a visit from my old friend , Mr . Jlark . Crabtr . ee , holding in his hand a letter from Lord Ashley , which he requested me to peruse . I did so , and sXeo took a copy thereof which I hand over to you , as I think it worthy of insertion in the people ' s paper . The following is a copy of the letter ;—
• ., September -ith , 1841 . Mr . Cbabtrkb v— In answer to your enquiry on behalf of the operatives of the West Riding , I have to reply , that an office was tendered to me by Sir Robert PeeL Having , however , ascertained from him that his opinions on the subject of the Factory question were not matured , and that he required further time for deliberation , I declined the acceptance of any place , under circumstances which would impede , or even l \ mit ; my fnll and free action in the advancement of that measure which I consider to be vital both to the welfare of the working classes and the real interests of the country . In taking this course , however , I neither express nor feel despair . It will be your duty and mine , not only to persevere , bnt to redouble onr efforts ; and I still entertain a hope that Her Majesty ' s advisers , after an investigation conducted with sympathy and caadenr , will , under God's good providence , give as all an answer of happiness and peace .
I remain , Your very obedient Servant , Ashley . Mr . Mark Crabtree . ' Now , Sir , I am not one of those who would blink the good and praiseworthy deeds of men , merely because there is a discrepancy of opinion exists between them and myself on certain points , but by whomsoever laudable actions are performed , the just meed of praise ought to be tendered to them . It rdiects lasting honour upoa Lord Ashley to tpurn from him the prize of the ambitious and factious rather than sacrifice the cause of the ill-treated and toil-worn factory slave ; such noble actions are of rare occurrence , and ought not to pass unnoticed . Would to God that many of our senators would imitate the example . I thank him for this proof of his sincerity and disinterestesdness , and I
doubt not that every friend to the factory slave will feel greatly rejoiced at this manifestation of principle . Sir , is it not strange that Sir Robert Peel's opinions are not yet matured upon this question ? He has heard the mass of irrefutable evidence adduced in both Houses of Parliament—he has seen the country agitated throughout upon the subjectthe petitions of tens of thousands have entered his ears , and yet his opinions are not matured ! What shall I say ! Why I must pronounce him either a fool or a hypocrite—the former I verily believe him not to be , therefore I must consider him to be the latter , and I trust that , ere long , he will throw off the mask and prove himself worthy his high station , if not his power must pass away . Ten Hour men , rally round Ashley . Yours truly , William Rider . Leeds , Sept . 9 th , 1841 .

SUNDERLAKD . —Men and Masters . —Mb . Lewis again !—On Thursday week , this now celebrated personage was again summoned before the Bench at Sunderland , for non-payment of wages due to Thomas Duke and three other workmen , who were firemen at Bishopwearmouth Iron Works , of which Lewis is manager ( manager , indeed !) The case was before the Court three several time 3 , and Lewis called on each time before he appeared ; at length he appeared to answer the charge preferred against him . He had the professional services of J . JT Wright , Esq ., a most glib-tongued limb of the law : the men had engaged Mr . Cooper In their behalf . Thomas Duke sworn—Was fireman at Bishopwearmouth Iron Works ' . Claimed 12 a . of
Mr . Lewis , being the balance due to him of one month ' s wages , at I 83 . per week . There were three other firemen who had a similar claim against Mr . Lewis . Was engaged at 18 s . per week , and continued to receive that sum until the last month . Recently the Company , at Mr . Lewis ' s instigation , he understood , had introduced a system of settling with the men only once a moDth , instead of every week , as formerly . They paid so much at the end of a fortnight , which was called subsistence money . A fortnight ago , when he went for his wages to the office , he was offered 30 s- for one fortnights wages ; he refused to take it . The clerk told him to take it , it was only " subsistence" money ; the balance due to him , 63 . for the fortnight , would be paid at the
end of the month . The month expired on Saturdaj hst , when he went for his wages ; he was again offered oniy 30 s . for the fortnight ; refused to take it . Was told he would get no more . Tho clerk who was paying the wages , told him to go to Mr . Lewis if he wanted more . He went ; Lewis said it was quite enough ; asked him if he did not know the wages were reduced . He replied no ! he had receivea no notice . Lewis then haughtily told him to go away ; he would give no more . Afterwards he said he would give him 16 s . per week . Witnesses were then called to prove that the regular wages were 18 s . per week , that no notice of a reduction had been made . Here Wright , attorney for Lewis , read a paper shewing that the men were not
employed by Lewis , but engaged by tho engineers , ^ ud had to be paid by them out of their receipts . The magistrates i :. > x"iired what the wages of the eaginemen were , and were told by one of them , that the sixpence per ton had left ihem between him aud another , only 17 s . 3 d . lor a fortnight ' * vvor : c , or ¦ ii . 7 ^ d . eac h per week ! This was all they had after paying the firemen . Tue magistrates here cried shame , shame , but Lew s , with the coolest impudence , was perfectly in ? er ? ible to shame . Dixon , one cf the eDginemen , was called to prove that Lewis had promised him , that should the sixpence a ton not pay sufficient , tha ; the wages of the firemen should be made up by Lewis . He refused at the end of the first fortnight to take the work logger
by the ton , and they thea reverted to the old mode of payment . Weatherhead , one of the firemeu , was called and gave evidence of a similar character . Lewis was then caLed upon . He &wore that tlie men were not his servants ; thai cluy were employed by Dixon and the other en # incaien . In reply to a question from the bench , he said that he never s : ipulaied to make up the deficiency ( that might happen by taking the work by ihe to ; i ) in rhe firemeu ' a wages ; he never mentioned a word about the firemen i n his agreement wiii . Dixon . Mr . Simpson , one of the magistrates , then immediately referred him to his own pretended aei ement , which he had put into Court , and a ^ ked hi m how he cou ) ' reconcile his assertion wiih that paper .
lais was a poser . He was completely nonplus-sed . Mr . Simpson , perceiving it , bluntly told him , that although he would not en 11 him a liar , yet it was his opinion he could not speak the tiuih . This biting and just remark was loudly applauded in the couit . Lewis was then liberated Irom his uuenviable position , and the cashier ca . " ] ' d . When passing by Lewis , the latter attempted to whisper something ti > him . This immediately called forth a- severe rebuke from the bench . The cashier then swore that tho firemen were not employed by Lewis ; but upon bein ^ asked who authorised him to pay them , he said he did not know . The magistrates , disgusted at the reckless swearing of these respectables , stopped the case ,

AeClDEMT ON THE GREAT WbSTEBN RaHWAT . — Several Passengers Injured . —Yesterday , throughout the entire day , mnch excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood of the terminus of the Great Western Railway , and even in the City , in consequence of a report having obtained extensive circulation that an accident of a frightful character , and attended with loss of human life , had occurred on that tine to the up mail train from Bristol . This was in some measure corroborated by the lateness of the post delivery of letters from the ' western part of the kingdom . On instituting inquiries into the matter , it was ascertained the report was not without foundation , as the following particulars , obtained from an official source will testify . It appears that the mail
train from Bristol , which was due at the Paddington terminus at five o'clock yesterday morning , not making its appearance for some time after that hour , considerable excitement and apprehension was manifested , and a pilot engine was despatched thirty or forty miles down the line , to ascertain if anything had happened , but it returned without any intelligence . The apprehension of danger continued on the increase until a few miaatea before eight o'clock , whea the mail train arrived , and the cause of itB delay was ascertained to be as follows : —Nothing whatever happened to impede the progress of the engine and train until its arrival at the eighty-seventh mile-Btone from London , about four miles on the other side of Wootton Basset , and nine from
Chippenham . At this Bpot , owing to aa extensive slip in the newly-formed embankment , one of the rails got displaced , and shifted outward . Ou the arrival of the engineand train , the joint of the line flew up , and cauced the former to go off the line at full speed into the embankment , in which it became embedded to a considerable extent . The sudden stoppage of the train caused a tremendous collision between the carriages , two of which were literally mashed , and che guards and engineers were thrown off with considerable violence . As soon as the confusion , 000 asioned by the occurrence , had , in some measure , subsided , inquiries were made as to the state of the passengers , several of whom it was feared were more or less injured ; and it was ascertained that
one , a gentleman from Devonshire , had got his ancle broken ia a shocking manner , and was otherwise seriously injured . Another gentleman had his ancle sprained severely and was out by the glass . A third fentleman had met with several bruises about the q dy , and a fourth was severely cut with the glass windows in the face , as were also ether passengers more or less . The guards were also cut and scratched about the face and bands , but , singular to relate , the engineers escaped without any injury . The sufferers were conveyed with all possible speed to Wootton Bassett , where surgical aid was promptly procured , and , with the exception of the gentleman who had his ancle
broken , they were in the course of the day enabled to proceed to their places of destination . The former , however , still remains there in a very bad condition . Immediately on the intelligence , reach " ing London , Mr . S . Oarke , the chief superintendent of the line , together with some of the directors , proceeded to the spot , and entered into a minute examination of all the circumstances connected with it , and to see that proper attention was paid to the sufferers . They found them to be as described above . After a delay of about three hours , the line was cleared of impediment , and the guards , engiueers , &c , were sufficiently recovered from the shock to resume their duties .

; > > ¦¦ ¦ : ¦ - . ; , ¦ - " , -: . - ;• - - , ' ¦ ~ : CpNSXC&A'TlOX OF IH $ , NeW PaKJSH CrCRCB OF L . BBD 6 , —The ceremony of tha consecration of the newlyterected Parish Church of Leeds , which has been rebuilt by the voluntary contributions of the InhabUanta , took place on Thursday last , the 2 nd of September instant , before one of the most numerous and respectable congregations ever assembled in any parochial plaoe of worship . His . Grace the Archbishop of York , the Lord Bishop of Ripon , the Bishop of Roes ; and Argyle . and the Bishop of the , State , of New Jersey , in North A ^™*! were present on the occasion , and took part iu , the ceremonies . They were , attended by two hundred and sixty clergymen ¦ - ¦ -y ., .
in canonicals—a most imposing sight . The act of con * seoration was performed by the Bishop of Ripon ; the Biehop of Now Jersey preached the sermon ; and ( he Archbishop of York administered the sacrament . In the evening of Thursday , and twice yesterday , the services were continued . The collections on Thursday- amounted to rather over £ 700 . The Vicar ( Dr . Hook ) has introduced into the service much of the display and ceremonial show which characterises the Roman Catholic services . The church is a beautiful structure , erected from designs by R . D . Chautrell , Esq .. a gentleman whose skill and experience in Church . Architecture will bear comparison with thtk of any living artist .
Botanical and Zoological Gabdens . —Tne Directors of this fashionable and beautiful resort deserve 'he support of their fellow-citizens in their indefatigable efforts to cater for their amusement On' Wednesday evening , a brilliant and . varied display of fireworks , , under the direction of Mr . By water , attracted a numerous and respectable company . : The utmost success attended the exhibition of all the devices , which gave general satisfaction , especially the concluding one , called the " Temple of Peace , ' ' which elicited cordial and universal approbation . The evening was moonlight , which perhaps took away something from th effect of the artificial productions of human
ingenuity , but most certainly added to the attractions of the beautifully laid out grounds . The band from the Barracks were in attendance and enhanced the scene with excellent music . We congratulate the Council on having at length resolved to throw these gardens open on . the Sunday and thereby afford their poorer brethren , who are compelled to toil during the week , an opportunity of enjoying that pure and refined pleasure , which such a place as this is so well calculated to impart , and from which unfortunately , the cant and hypocrisy of rich " saints" have too long debarred them . We trust that this liberality will be duly appreciated and supported .
Hunslet . —Mr . T . B . Smith will preach three sermons here on Sunday , ( to-morrow ) in the morning at half-past ten , ( weather permitting , ) on Hunslet Carr , and in the afternoon at half-past two , and in the evening at half-past six , in the Temperance News Boom ; the two latter services , are for the benefit of the Sunday school recently established in the said room , and to which parents are affectionately invited to send their children . ' On Tuesday eveninc , a public meeting will be held at Stock ' s Hill , for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for the abolition of the atrocious silent system .
Unemployed Operatives . —The following circular has been issued by the Unemployed Operatives ' Enumeration Committee of this Borough . We trust it will receive attention from all working men ; and that some means will be devised for affording prompt present relief ; and that the sickening sights of destitution , which are afforded by tho labours of this Committee will operate on the trades generally as an incentive to exertion for that political power whence alone they must look for permanent relief : — "Sir , we are instructed by the Unemployed Operative Enumeration Committee , to request that you would convene , the men employed at the same place as yourself at as early a period as possible , in order that you may have an
opportunity of urging the peculiar claims which the committee have upon their co-operation and support . The committee is composed entirely of operatives ; the greater portion of whom are at present iu employment , but who feel called upon to exert themselves in behalf of their more unfortunate brethren . It is a lamentable fact , that the extent to which poverty , destitution , disease , and misery , in all their varied withering aspects , abound , is comparatively unknown to those whose station and influence incur the responsibility of these dire calamities . Hundreds of willing industrious artizaus are pining in obscurity ; their cheerless dwellings rendered still more desolate by the absence of all those articles of household furniture which
constituted at once the pride and comfort of their homes ; having been reluctantly disposed of to appease thegnswings of hunger . The roads leading to and from ail the manufacturing and commercial towns are literally crowded with tramps ; some begging , others , whose prouder spirits cannot brook the degrading reflections which even a stealthy mendicancy induces . may be seen weuding their weary way to they hardly know or care where . Surely this everlasting shame to a civilized country ought to be made manifest : the number aud circumstances of our unemploved brethren must be ascertained and
declared , facilities must be afforded to those who are disposed to effect a permanent amelioration of the daily aggravating sufferings of the people . For this purpose you are earnestly requested to co-operate with the Enumeration Committee , whose object is not to engage in political party warfare , hut to ascertain and declare facts ; appoint a delegate , who will be added to the Committee which meets in the Old George Inn , every Tuesday , at eight o ' clock in theeveniDg . u James Rattbat , Secretary .

Adjourned Inquest . —On Saturday evening , the adjourned inquest on the body of anew-born infant , found in a box in the Leeds and Liverpool canal , a fortnight ago , a notice of which appeared in onr paper , was held at the Court House , before John Blackburn , Esq . The only additional evidence produced was that of the waterman , John Abboit , who found the box . He stated that he had risen at break of day to go with his boat to Liverpool , and whilst drawing the clough of the first lock , after leaving the Union Company ' s warehouse , he saw ti ^ box floating ; he thought it was a fruit box , and threw it onboard his vessel . He cut the cord by which it was tied , and the child fell out , upon which he called his wife up , and fetched a watchman . No further evidence could be got , and the jury therefore returned a verdict of " Found drowmd , with no evidence to 6 how how or by what ou'atis thebruise . ' had been made , or how it came iuto the water . "
