DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY . In the Borne of Commons , on Thursday ovening , Mr . Ferrand rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice , respecting a grant of money to the distressed manufacturers . He Baid that , in rising to submit his motion to the House , oveiflowing as its benches were ( there were barely forty members present ) , he was prepared to offer hi 3 testimony , residing as he did , in the heart of the manufacturing districts , and having means of ascertaining the truth , not only from what he himself saw , but from the best authority , of the fact that distress of the most fearful
description was now raging in every quarter . He must appeal to the House to do their utmost to relieve the poor industrious classes in the manufacturing disiricts , and save them from starvation . He believed that there was no one in . that House who would stand up and declare that the labourers in the manufacturing districts were not suffering the most fearful dibtress , aud the House had it on the highest authority that they had borne this distress with a patient endurance which claimed irom their hands not only respect , but an earnest desire to relieve them . The Hon . Member then referred to the
• ' immigration" system pursued in 1839 , for the removal of labourers from tiie Southern disiricts to the North . After the poor people had been removed according to this plan from the rural districts of the south ot England iuto the manufacturing districts a stimulus was given for a time to trade , and things wett on with apparent prosperity . During that time be found that the House of Commons voted £ 20 , 000 , 000 of money lor the emancipation of the blact slaves of the West Indies—men who , he was prepared to prove , were a thousand times happier , and more contented , more prosperous , and better provided for , than the workmen of the manufacturing districts of England were at the present time . Ho stated what he knew to be true , that there were
thousands of the working classes , those who had been induced to migrate from the South , now actually lmng on boiled nettles , arinkmg the water in which tne uetiies ia-d been boiled as a beverage , aud lying in bed dunug tne day for the purpose of saving their Dodies Irom the exhaustion of walking about . The Queen had done her duty in the matter ; but an obatdole svood in the way , or she would have relieved them long ago . That impediment was the British House of Commons . With deep humility he suggested a response to the wishes of Her Majes ; y ; and , in the name of the distressed among the workiog classes , he called upon that House , in whose hands alone were the means of saving them
from aestitiuion and death , to relieve their dreadful necessities . He be ^ yed leav e to may & " that the House will , on Tuesday , me 21 > t of this instant June , resolve itself into a committee of the whole House , for the purpose ot taking into consideration the following resoiucion : — " Tnac ic is the opinion of tnis Houso that immediate measures be taken to ailtsvutu ; he deplorable distress and destitution which now afflict many of the working classes in the manufacturing districts , and tha : an address be presented to Her Majesty to employ for their temporary relief a sum not exceeding £ l , 0 U 0 , 000 sterling , and that this House will provide for the same . " Mr . Johnston seconded the motion .
Sir R PtEL , feeling deeply for the distress of the people , yet could not consent to the dangerous precedent which this motion would establisn . Nothing could be more subversive of general principle than to tax the wnole people for the relief of a part , and to exonerate those districts on which the duty and the legal burden lay of providing for their own poor . Mr . Fox Maule concurred in the opinions expressed by Sir R . Peel ; he deprecated the language used by Mr . Ferrand . Mr . Ward , Mr . Yillk-rs , Mr . Heathcote , Mr . Wallace , Mr . Escott , Mr . Ainsworth , Mr . William * , and Mr . Cobden , all followed in opposition .
Mr . T . Dvscombs would vote for this motion , of which the fault was only that it proposed but one million , when it ought to have proposed five . This House had voted money for Irish clergy , for Polish refugees , and for many other classes of the distressed ; so that the grant now desired would make no new precedent . He believed the House would never be dulv sensible of the evil , until 400 , 000 or 500 , 000 men should marcfc from the manufacturing districts to London . Even if the Corn Laws were to be repealed , this tooney onghtto be granted in the meantime . But the House had begun the evening with a refusal of relief to the Dissenters , and were now concluding it with a refusal of relief to the working classes . Oa a division six voted for the motion , and 106 against it .

There was scarcely a store in the town , that was not broken open . The military and police were called out , but were obliged , by overwhelming numbers , to retreat to their respective barracks . The commander of the military threatened several times to fire , unless they desisted from flinging stones ; but , though he had the Riot Act in his hand , he did not fulfil his threat , in consequence of the interference of several gentlemen of the town . At night ihe whole town was illuminated , to celebrate the triumph of the destitute population . The Galway Vindicator of Wednesday , states that the Riot Act was read in Galway late on Monday night , and the people were dispersed . Ou Tuesday morning , the fishermen returned to their usual employment , and the town was quiet .

LEEDS . —At the visitition of Archdeacon Musgrave , at the parish church of this town , on Wednesday last , the recently elected Chartist churchwardens were duly installed into office , having previously made and subscribed the necessary declaration . They , of course , attended the service at tha chDrcb , where the sermon was preached by the Rev . "W . Sinclair , M . A ., IncambeDt of St . George ' s , Leeds , and at the close of the sermon , the clergy and churchwardens having assembled in front of the communion rails , the clerical roll was duly called , and the Archdeacon delivered a very long and elaborate charge .
Alleged Robbebt . —Oa Monday last , a young man named George Calvert , was charged at the Court Hou ? e with having stolen eleven or twelve shillings from the person of Abraham Learoyd , of Hunslet , labourer . The robbery was said to have been committed on Saturday night week , whilst the prosecutor was asleep at the Golden Ccck Inn . They had , however , both been drinking together , are uncle and nephew , and the magistrates being of opinion there was bo evidence to bring home the felony , the prisoner was discharged .
Assault and Robberv . —On Monday last , a rather respectable-looking young man , named George Hawthorn , was charged at the Court House with having , at an early hour ou Sunday morning , assaulted William Calvert , of Royds Green , and robbed him of his bat , which lie was seen to hand to another person , who ran off with it . The case took place in York-street , and is one of frequent occurrence in that part of the town . The prisoner denied having any thing to do with the affair , but the witnesses being positive that they saw him strike the prosecutor , the magistrates fined him 20 s . and costs for the assault .
Soiree Mxjsicale . —Mr . A . Ormonde gave his second musical entertainment to & numerous auditory , at the Meohanics' Saloon , on Monday evening . We are sorry we cannot speak of it in su-h favourable terms as of his former effort ; it failed to give satisfaction . Miss L . Bruce it is true , sung most delightfully , in some of her songs ; of Mr . King we say nothing . There was also some very injudicious departures from the songs of the programme , and why " Johnny Cope" wa « read instead of beinp sung , we are at a loss to imagine . " A night wi' Burns " i 3 far superior to the " adventures of Prince Charlie . "
As I . vcobbigible . —On Monday morning , Matthew Storm , who contributes largely to the borough fund , made his appearance in the dock at the Couit Hou ^ e , on the usual charge—drunk and disordfrly ; on this occasion , however , he departed from his usual practice , and instead of kicking up a row in the street , he went to the police office and caused a disturbance there . It appearing that he had not paid the previous week ' s fine and cost 3 , he was ordered either to pay them directly or to sit fire hours in the stocks . He raised the wind , and was then discharged ; promising not to offend again .
" Bone Grubbers" again . —On Monday last , two Iad 3 of this description , who seldom miss any thing vtithin th sir reach , which is not either too hot or too heavy fer them , were charged before the magistrates , at the Court House , with having entered the cellar of Mr . Beevors , in Hanover-place , from whecce they stole a quantity of bntier , cheese , and bread , which were found in their bags , on being stopped , after they had been seen to leave the premises . They gave their names John Marran and John Wallace , and were sent to Waktfield for two months .
Assault . —Oa TueBd&y last , James Firth was brought up by warrant at the Court House , on a charge of having assaulted Mr . BeDjamin Barton , constable of Wortley . Mr . Barton stated that about midnight on Saturday , the defendant , with some others , commenced gambling under a lamp opposite to his house ; he was annoyed by them for some time , and about two o ' clock in the morning he went out and desired them to go away . Instead of this they attacked him , and the defendant Btruck him two or three times . . He was fined 20 s . and costs , or in default of payment sent to Wakefield for a month . >
BRADFORD . Coubt House . -Woested Acts again . —Wb . Porter , of Bradford , worstedtop maker , appeared before the Magistrates on Wednesday last , upon an information charging him with having , in April last , purchased a quantity of wool , from one Edward Dowling , a comber , then in the employ of William Smith , of Bradford , manufac-

turer , his property , without first having obtained his consent , and knowing that Dowling was so employed . Porter ( a regular victim of the arbitrary laws ) was oh the present occasion taken by surprise , and bad no opportunity of preparing his defence , haying ( contrary to the repeated general directions of the Magistrates ) only been warned immediately Srevious to appearing ; but , fortunately for him , Ir . Clarkoon , his attorney , happened to be in Court , and succeeded in extricating his client from the precipitate charge . The Worsted Inspectors conducted the prosecution , and called Mr . Smith who proved that in April last ho delivered two quantities of wool to Dowling to comb , who had not returned bis work , and had absconded .
Dowling ( who had been fetched from Ireland by direction of the worsted committee ) was then produced to prove the alleged sale , and his brother called in corroboration ; neither of whom proved the fact , but rather contradicted each other in details . Mr . Clarkson , on behalf of the defendant , reviewed the evidence , and contended that the prosecutor , backed by a powerful committee and assistance of their experienced officers , had failed both in law and face to make out a case , the alleged sale not being proved ; and presuming that it had , no evidence ivas adduced to show that Porter knew that Dowling was in Smith's employ , and had no authority to dispose of the wool , consequently the charge must be dismissed ; in which the Magistrates , after a short consultation , concurred .
Sending Cattle to Grass . —Some weeks ago , Mr . Matthew Booth , Inn-keeper , .. 'Little Horton , announced by placards , that persons keeping cattle might be accommodated with grass , in the Park , oa reasonable terms . A . number of persons , nearly a score , availed themselves of the opportunity and placed their cattle under his care . On Tuesday morning last the bailiffs marked all the beasts they found in the said Park , for reut and arrears , and when the owners went to milk them they were prevented from doing so until the rent was paid ; and thus the affair stands . Suspected Child Murder at Shelf , —Circumstances have occurred at Shelf , near Bradford , which leave but little doubt that a murder of an uncommon
character has been perpetrated . At present the state of the inquiry , and the evidence collected , is such that it would be premature to enter intominute details . The facts as they appear at -present , are as follow : —On Saturday last , about four o ' clock , a female named Caroline Pollard , who resides at the junction of the old road to Halifax over Wibsey Slack and the new road , having occasion to visit an out office belonging to tho house , discovered in the dung , immediately under the seat , what she supposed to be a human body . She left the place , and related what she had seen to the neighbour !? . Several persons immediately ran to the place , and , with a littl « exertion , the body , which was nearly buried ( nothing more than the lower part of the back boisg
visible ) was got out , and after a short time , was washed and conveyed to the Shoulder . of Mutton public-house , where it remained until the assistance of Mr . M'Lachen , ' aurgeou , was procured . It was quite dead when taken out , but warm , and had evidently been in but a very short time . It was also divested of clothing . There were no mark 9 of violence to be observed on the external parts of the body , and it was evident tbat it had died from suf ? focation among the matter in the privy , and not from any other cause- This discovery , of course , excited the greatest wonder ; and after the body had been decently deposed of , the course of conversation turned upon the question , to whom did the child belong , and who had put it . there V As the
news of the discovery spread rapidly , the attention of persons at a distance was called to it , and among others , a woman named Rhodah Barraclough , who resided at Wibsey Slack , at the desire of her husband , went to view the body , and recognised it . Her statement is , tbat between odo and two in the afternoon of Saturday , Bhe was passing a similar place to that in which the child was found , and hearing the cries of an infant , her curiosity was excited , and on looking in , she saw a woman who had rested at her house twice before in the course of a fortnight , sitting with a child on her knee , and a bundle beside her . Thinking that a very unfit building for a resting place , and having a knowledge of the woman before , Mrs . Barraclough
asked her to go to her cottage , and gave her a seat . She put several questions te her , but received yerv few answers , the woman appearing to be very much "down" in spirit ?) and not at all inclined . 'ta'talk . While she remained she had occasion to open the bundle which r < mained at her Side , to obtain some useful articles for her child , which was at that time in good health . After , sitting some time she left the house , taking the road to Shelf . At about half-past three , a woman similarly dressed was seen going up a garden , at Shelf , which led to a privy , and was evidently making to it , but was obliged to go back in consequence of some one entering before her . The woman had a bundle with her and also a child , but this infant was dressed in different apparel to that with the woman at Mrs .
Barraclough ' s ; but from the description given , the latter female asserted that she had seen such articles in the woman ' s bundle when sho opened it . Another female , named Ellen Wilson , who resides opposite the place in which the body was found , saw a woman with a child enter the place ; but this being a circumstance of frequent occurrence she did not watch her , aud consequently did not see her come out . An inquest was held on the body on Tuesday last , at the Snoulder of Mutton , Shelf , before G . Dyson , Esq ; , Coroner , and after the examination of some witnesses , including the surgeon , who deposed that the child was finely formed , and perfectly healthy , and that it had died by suffocation as described , the inquiry was adjourned to Friday week , at the same place .

G . J . Holyoake , who was arrested on Thursday Bight last , for blasphemy . The meeting was well attended .

Brown-Street , Manchester . —A general meeting of fustian-cutters , called by placard , to take into consideration the principles of the People ' s Charter , was held in the Brown-street Roomj on Wi dnesday evening , June 15 th . There was a numerous attendance of the trade . Mr . J . O'Connor was called to the chair . Excellent speeches were made by various parties , and the following resolutions were agreed to : — " That this meeting is of
opinion that the alarming distress and low wages existing amongBt the f usuan-cutters can be traced to political causes ; and further consider , that good wages and permanent employment can never again be enjoyed by the fustian-cutters generally , until that document , called the People ' s Charter , becomes a legislative enactment " " That it is the opinion of this meeting , that it is the paramount duty of every cuiter to immediately join the National Charter Association , for the avowed purpose of causing the People ' s Charter to become the law of these realms . " " That ihu fustian-cutters of Manchester
will not acknowledge any person as a pubho lecturer or leader of the people , or a delegate to any Chartist meeting , unless the same be a member of the Charter Association . " We have only to add , that after a vote of thanks to the Chairman , the mooting separated . We have every reason to suspect there was a government spy in the room . A person who was unknown was taking notes ; and , from a conversation which took place between him and one of our men that we can place confidence in , we have been led to the conclusion that bia business there was for no good to the Chartists . The conversation was as follows : —Would it not be a good plan to
organize to resist the Government , and he thought the colliers were a likely set ot men to take the front of the battle , and that he was quite willing to do all he could for the object , in getting money to cover the expences , and iu any other way that he could assist privately , but he could not take pare publicly , and he had do objections to lay down six or seven pounds to commence with . Our friend , as soon as the meeting had thinned , called a few of the friends together , and gave them this information , that they might be on their guard . He also gave his address . We send this to put the Chartists on their guard , as we have every reason to believe that the harp ^ s are abroad . —Manchester Correspondent . ,

Mr . Dixon , Holbeck , addressed the people ait considerable length , on the different points of the Charter ; after whom the meeting was addressed by Mr . Fraaer , of Leeds , explaining the causes of the pre ^ sent distress—showing the power capital possesses over labour—and how the labourer must always be a wealth ^ creating slave under the present system , finishing by presenting to the meeting the People's Charter , as the only means
through which the working population may be elevated to the rank of independent human beings ; and the glorious result of this and previous meetings ' , that eightyythree came forward and enrolled themselves as members of the National Charter Association . Thus are our principles spreading and fixing themselves . We have only to carry the "glad tidings" to these country villages , and hundreds will flock around tho standard of freedom . Let us all work , then ; no idlers ought to be among us . Men and brethren , bo but energetic , bold , and determined , and we will have a magnificent reward .

The Bloody Old Times And Physical Force. /
THE BLOODY OLD TIMES AND PHYSICAL FORCE . /
Chartists of North Lancashire , look out ! For the last week , the profligate organ , of devilism has been devoting its poison to your deBtruction . Some hireling makes speeches for you and sends them to . the : ' Bloody Old Times . " O ! how the cowardly ruffian would delight in strengthening the hands of despotism by a physical force outbreak ; and how its columha would teem with advice to the jury class if some score Chartists could be entrapped into an act ; of " times 'Nmade treason . Remember how
tho Times' tool influenced the miucls of the jury class against Frost , and then began to sympathise with its victim . Remember that Powell , the reporter of the Times ; boasted in my presence ^ at the Beaufort Arms , Monmouth , that he had paid ten pounds for the Times , tot the indictment whioh was sworn to have been served on Frost . Remember that , and remember how delightfully it would be to Old Mother Walter , to find me in Lancaster Castle , instead of on the hustings at Npttingham , where with God ' s help , he shall meet me . Remember that the
men who recommend you to a physical outbreak will , upon the day of trial , be absent . Remember that North Lancashire is not England , arid that the Times is not ourjriend . Remember that the Times is , out of all comparison , the moat vile , corrupt , and blackguard print published in the whole world . Remember that old Walter and tho Times hallooed the jury clas 3 and the nation upon Frost , and hunted him down ; that old Walter afterwards began , like a hypoorite , to praise Frost ; to serve bis own base
purposes . In short , Chartists , don't play the game of the Times ; for if you do , it will be "head you lose ^ harp the Tinies wins . " See what a triumph you would give the intellectual Chartists t and those very fellows have their emissaries , under the mask ot Chartists , trying to damn your cause , and sow the seed of disseasion among you . Yos , it is the moral force Sturgites , some of whom were the most violent of the physical foroe men iu 1839 , who would glory in your madness . ; . ;
As Beesly says , show me 100 , 000 men , of twentyone years of age , aud all armed , and then we ? ll be talking to the bloody Old Times . Don't get shot without the honour of returning ihe compliment , however : ~ the Times and your zsal may make you mad for a moment . ;¦¦ God knows I ana astonished how you have borne oppression so long and so tamely ; yet , wilM hot council you to jump " out of the frying pan into the fire . ' ^ Believe me , that in liBss than two months , the shopkeepers will be talking about physical force , and so will the landlords ; then it will be fashionable ' but should you begin it , it would be thought vulgar , arid all would joiu to put yb tm physical force down . : / . "<¦ -:
The Times knows that the tariff must fail , and that Peel must thea either reduce the expenditure , or 8 aspend the Habeas Corpus Act ; not that he would desire it , but his party will ferce him into revolution before they will allow him to lessen the mess for the idle paupers . Your affectionate Friend * Fergus O'Cownob .

TO THE EDITOR « F tH ' S NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —It is agreed on all hands that great distress at present exists throughout the trading world . ' Of its cause , a multiplicity of opinions are afloat . Perhaps , amongst the many ,, you will allow me to give mine . It is well known that during the protracted war with France , under the reign of Bonaparte , the landed interest ^ or aristocracy of England , " pledged thoir lives and fortunes" in support of our Government . How was this pledge fulfilled I Why , they created a fictitious capital , whioh said fictitious capital enabled them to double , yea , treble their rentals . At the conclusion of the war , they procured the enactment of the Com La-ws , by the operation of which they have contrived to retain those rents to this day . ¦¦'¦'• .- :
But while they passed the Corn Laws to protect themselves , they abo passed measures to restore the old standard of money : or , in other words , to greatly curtail what they afterwarda called that * fictitious capital "' which had trebled their rents , and affected the prices of produce and all existing contracts to an alinost incalculable extent . If the landed interest would not be selrish , there would be no complaint against Government , do what they niight . Could operauves get sufficient at present ; there would be a good trade in England , iridependent of any foreign trade . I would recommend Government to suppJy the wants of the needy until my new manufacture gets into operation , arid then the cry against our rulers will be at an end , and plenty once more appear in the land . .
Now , what effect had those measures upon the manufacturing and commercial interest ! for , mark , the landed interest , i . « ., the landlords , had protected themselves from the consequences of their own acts by tho Corn Bill of 1815 , enacted for the purpose of keeping up the produce of the land to war prices . What effect had their measures upon me for instance ! for my case was the case of thousands , aud it will fully illustrate the confiscating nature of the measure then passed . I had at the time theso measures were determined on upwards
of £ 120 , 000 value in manufactured cloth arid in wool , while I had another £ 80 ^ 0 00 sunk in mills and machinery . What did all this property sell , for Less than £ 80 i < JO 0 1 ! £ Here wa . s Confiscation ! Here was a sweeping away , 1 ! Upwards ot £ I-20 v 00 p silently , but tffcotually , filched from me , — one individual , —by Acts of the Parliament 1 Mine was but the case of thousands . Judge then of the alteration made in the value of property by the measures of our law-makers affecting the standard of value . v ' ' ' '¦ ' ' . '¦• " ' " ¦; ¦ ¦¦' . '¦ ' . ' - ¦ " '¦ ¦ "" .
Let it be borne m mind , that auarticles of wear are now disposed of at one half the prices they were forty or fiity years ago . I challenge any one to disprove these facts ; and I ask , Sir , if this be the way to administer justice with impartiality and to give
