to destitution and desperation—starred thousands to death by law—made this country the seat of suiei 3 ea and murderers—dismantled our cottages of their comforts and onr castles « f their security—a measure which has shaken the title to property , by removing protection Ifrom labour—an enactment which is so disorganizing inita operations , that it has produced the entire derangement of our manufacturing system , by a Tain attempt io relieve the aoricuUitristsfrom ihe burden of their ' surplus' popakdion J "No , Sir , it is not impossible that you can ever forget the foundation of that measure , which has avowedly overturned ene GoTemment , and which will , if persisted in , aa assuredly remoTe their successors .
" How true are those words of Holy Writ , He made a pit and digged it , and is fallen into the pit which he made , His miBchief »> ^ 'i return upon his own head , and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate .

THE MI 3 TILATED BODY AT LEEDS . ADJOtriLJiED ISQUEST . The adjourned inguest to enquire concerning the death of a female unknown , which was recently found in the cut at Knostrop , was resumed at the Court House , Leeds , on Monday evening last , before John Blackburn , Esq . The Court having been opened , Tne Coboueb enquired of the Policeman , if he had any further evidence to offer , and having been answered in the negative , he said that the last time they met , enquiries were directed to be made of the lock keeper if any strange vessels had been known to Btay in the cut , under any circumstances , bejond
the time necessary for them to do so , and about the period when it might be supposed ihe body was put in the water , and in answer thereto the lock keeper said that no vessels , so far as his knowledge went , had remained in the cut ; coal boats had done so but only under ordinary cirenmstances , and n- i < ing definite conld be gathered from this circco ^ * ace . With -regard , also , to the yonDg woman n , sing from Coat Hill , near Halifax , the police ha 'hat morning received information that her bodj had been taken ont of the navigation at SalterLcoble , on Sunday . There was , therefore , no necessity for prolonging the inquiry further , as if anything tuould subsequently transpire , the case would be quite safe in tie Viands of the magistrates .
Mr , Womkbslby , one of the Jury , inquired if any thiag had been heard of the yonng woman who , at their last sitiing , was stated to haye been missing from Stanley Ferry ! The Cobojcer . —Inquiries have been made , and it appears she left htr uncle ' s house , stating she was going to obtain a situation elsewhere . Her friends had no reason to doubt this , and the impression on their minds is , that Bhe has obtained & situation in some distant part of tie country . This was satisfactory , and the coroner then proceeded to sum up the whole case , which he did in the-following worda : —
It appears from the evidence of Austin and Dale that n the Sunday , the 29 th ef last month , they saw something floating in the river at Knastrop , which , on b ? ing brought to shore , turned out to be the trunk of a female . The same substance had been Been about the same place the day before by Mrs . Dean ,- and , although curiosity led-her to touch it with a piece of stick , she had no idea that it was part of a human body . Tbe place where the trunk was discovered and its immediate localiJg |> aS ' ordfl no evidence worth commenting upon . Immediately npon the discovery , however , the witness , Jonathan Dean , in a hasty and somewhat unfeeling manner , recommended tbat the trunk should be buried , and accompanied his recommendation with an
expression which , at the time the evidence was given , might probably create an unfavourable impression ; still there Twas nothing in his conduct but what was perfectly recoccileable and consistent with an entire ignorance of any previous knowledge of the body . It follows , therefore , that no importance whatever can fairly be attached to anything which occurred either in the finding of the trunk or in the interval which elapsed before it was placed into the custody of the police From that time to the present , notwithstanding numerous reports , and communications of a private nature , nothing has transpired to lead to the idendity of the body . It remains , therefore , for " yon to consider your verdict npon the evidence which has been adduced . The medical
evidence can leave no doubt that the trunk was that of a woman who had arrived at maturity , and whose age bad probably been about twenty-five . From the same evidence it would appear that death had arisen from hemorrhage produced by violence of some description , but the absence of the head and the upper and lower extremities must leave it a matter of conjecture as to the nature of the violence offered . The mutilated state of the trunk , its having been exposed to the action of fire to a considerable extent , and then having been thrown into the river , are circumstances so utterly at variance with the probability of death having resulted from natural causes , as to raise an irresistible inference that a most , inhuman and revolting murder has been perpetrated . Among the
numerous conjectures which have be ? n ventured . there was one which at first sight seemed to have some plausibility in it , and that was the hope tbat the trunk in question had been in the hands of medical students for anatomical dissection ; but when yon consider that tbe trunk iteelf , ¦ while containing so many of the organs of life , had been subject to no dissection whatever—and that the limbs had-been separated in a rough and unskilful manner , the presumption is , I think , repudiated . There is also tbe further fact , that after death , and before tbe upper extremities bad been removed , the body had been most extensively burnt , and this of itself would serve at once to disprove the assumption that it had "been thB act of a medical student If tbe body had been obtained for anatomical purposes , there conld have existed no reason
or motive for this mutilation and concealment To argue upjan the possibility of the position just alluded to , you must believe that death arose from natural causes , and that seems improbable from the medical evidence . Strongly as it might have been hoped , for the sake of humanity and the state of civilizition » n which we live , that this had been the work of a medical student , ( and without jumping at once to the conclusion that a murder has been committed , this appeared the only feasible explanation of the circumstances , ) I am bound to say that all the evidence goes to negative such an assumption beyond any reasonable donbt On the other hand , revolting as such conduct would be considered , and greatly as it would be condemned , the offence would be aggravated by suffering the public excitement
to continue . An ample confession would , in Each a case , be both honourable ard palliating . It is impossible for the medical men to speak with absolute certainty as to the precise cause of death ; tat they conaider that the empty condition of the heart and large blood vessels , and' the complete absence of any traces of coagiJla in them , together with the bloodless condition of tbe viscera , are strong grounds for coming to tbe conclusion , that death resulted from hemorrhage , occasioned by violence ; and they cannot reasonably account for death in any other way . The evideuce then must bring you to the conclusion that death arose from violence , and you will have to say whether thai -violence had been inflicted by the female herself , with a view of committing suicide , or whether it was the result of accident , or whether some person or
persons unknown committed murdeT . Medical evidence negatives the idea of suicide , and it would , I fear , be stretching the imagination too far , and indulging in a most futile hope , to suppose that the violence had been accidental . All the circumstances of the case—the mutilation—the burning—the violence to tbe chest after death—the concealment of the rest of the body—the immersion of the trunk in the River Aire , and the total absence of any excuse or imaginable motive for such a course of proceeding must , I think , bring you to the painful conclusion that the woman , whoever she may fee , has beea most barbarously murdered . If you can see any grounds for reasonable doubt , you will find yomr verdict accordingly ; but if yon agree with me that the evidence is clear and convincing , yon must find a verdict of W 2 fal Murder against some person or persons nntnown .
The Jury then , without retiring , unanimously retnrned a Verdict of " WILFUL MURDER AGAINST SOME PERSON OR PERSONS UNKNOWN . " As the termination of the enqniry , Mr . Ralph Markland , one of the Borongh Justices , entered the room , and on being informed of the result expressed his entire acquiescence ; and stated that the matter being thus left in the hands of the Magistrates , on ibeir behalf he might say rhat no trouble or expense yyonld deter them from the fullest investigation of every rumour that might afterwards arise , in order , if possible , to remove the veil from this hitherto mysterious case . He thanked the Coroner and Jury for their great attention to tbe matter .

A 1 PRBTON . -At a meeting of rate-payers here , the other day , it was resolved to discontinue the services of a paid constable . Chubch-Raie Meeting . —On Sunday , February 12 th , a notice was posted -on the door of the parish church , Sutton-in-Ashfi > . ld , Notte ., calling a meeting of iherate-payers rto beheld on tbe 17 ih instant , at eleven o ' clock in the forenoon . At the time appointed , a number of working men and a few of the middle class attended . The Rev . William Goodacre unceremoniously took the chair , and introduced the business , when it was moved by Mr . John Butterworth , and seconded ^ by Mr . Benjamin Burton , "That a rate of twopence-halfpenny in the pound be granted to repair the church" . &c . Mr .
Samuel Fox , moved v and Mr . Henry Butterworth seconded as an amendment , That the consideration for granting a Totebe postponed till that day twelvemonths , " Bnt the Rev , Chairmanlpositively refused to put the amendment . Mr . John Tomlinson said , that as the chairman had refused to do his duty , he should move that he leave the chair , which being seconded by Mr . Henry Butterworth , on being put to the meeting , waa carried by a large majority . But on the Rev . Gentleman refusing to go , it was stated that Dr . W lkins of Nottingham was ousted out of tho chair ; when he replied that he might have to be ousted out of it . It ' was thenfmoved by Mr . John Tomlinson , and seconded by Mr . Henry Butterworth , "That Mr . Joseph Robinson do take the chair , " which was carried by a very large majority . But still the Rev . Gentleman would not vacate the chair . The meeting then placed another chair for the elected chairman , which he took
but being low in stature , he arose and mounted a settle , that be might have a better view of the meeting , when he put the amendment , which being put to the meeting , was carried without any opposition , the Churchmen being ashamed to hold up their hands . Having failed in this point , Mr . John Butterworth demanded a poll , which was appointed to take place on Monday , the 20 th inst ., in the vestry , between the hours of ten and four . On Monday last , both parties being in attendance , at ten o'clock , the polling commenced , but owing to the general poverty of the people ( as all were required to be up with their rates ) and the unwillingness of the greatest part of ihe middle « lass to pay , the voting went on rery slowly . When turned three o'clock , the churchwarden in attendance said that be had just received information that the polling was illegal , and soon after closed the book with the consent of all parties .
For the amendment 47 Against ... 9 Majority 58 When will class made laws and a church supported by fraud be abolished \ Speed the Charter ! NOTTINGHAM—A delegate meeting of the framework-knitters of the counties of Nottingham , Leicester , and Derby , was beld on the 20 th of this month , at the Plough and Harrow Inn , Nottingham . A good number of delegates were present . It was unanimously resolved , " That tbe statement of regulation agreed to by this meetiug shall be printed and circulated among the hosiers in the said counties without delay , and that the deputation appointed by this meeting shall afterwards wait upon the hosiers , and respectfully solicit them to adopt the same .
TODMOEJ 3 EN . —On Monday uigbt , according to notice , a meeting of the freeholders and ratepayers was held in the large room of the Golden Lion Inn , to nominate twenty persons , our . of which the magistrates are to chose constables for the ensuing year . Previous to the meeting taking place the League had sent round a man to get all the lackiea and lickspittles they had at their call to attend ; but it was all to no purpose ; the lads attended , and the first bnsinesa was electing a chairman , which resulted in placing Mr . Robert Brook in that situation . Tne list which they moved was met by an amendment , which was carried ; and the whole twenty are of the right sort .
MANCHESTER . —Doisgs of the League . — The Anti-Corn Law party are endeavouring to get up an address to their pet , Dicky Cobden , purporting to be from the -working men of Manchester , and in order to accomplish this they dare not go to work in that honest straightforward manner that men having truth on their side would adopt , namely , call a public meeting , and put Mr . Cobden and his doings to the test by taking the opinion of the working classes in a fair and open manner ; no , they know full well , that it' they were to do bo , that the working men of Manchester would prove to the world that they have no sympathy with Mr . Cobden , nor his " Free-trade" humbug . Tney are sending circulars to tbe various factories , calling upon tbe employers to send a delegate to a meeting , accompanied by the following address to Dicky the Rover : —
" To Richard Cobden , Esq ., Repre eniaiive of Slockport , in the Commons House of Parliament . " Sir , —We the undersigned operatives in the employ of , Manchester , address you as the leader of the great movement in favour of' free-trade , ' to thank yon for your past exertions , and to urge you \ , o future efforts on behalf of the oppressed and suffering industry of this country .. EDglacd produces a greater quantity of manufactured articles than the people with "their present mtans of purchasing can consume . The land of this country under the influence of the so-much
boasted system of protection , does not produce as much food aa is requisite fur the subsistence of the people . The Curn Laws and other monopolies prevent tbe exchange of our surplus manufactures for the food of other countries , and thus reduce the demand for our labour , lower out wages , and prevent us from obtaining a sufficiency of food , and leave us in a state of privation and suffering , whilst the industry and commerce of the conntry are made subservient to the supposed interests of the unjustly favoured landed aristocracy , to whom all other classes are sacrificed .
•• You have nobly stiuggled to free onr beloved country from tbe thraldom of Landlord monopolies , and to exalt the condit-on of the great masB of the people , by endeavouring to provide an enlarged field for the exercise of their industry . Allow us to inlreat you to go on , being assured that in this noble struggle success will eventually attend your tfforts , as the triumph of justice : a our holy cause must be Certain . Our zealous co-operation shall be freely given , and we hope that the working men through the kingdom , whatever may be their political opinions , will unite together to assist you to destroy the accursed Corn and Provision Laws , and thus strike off the shackles from our industry , and restore to our distressed country , prosperity and happiness . With gratitude we subscribe our names ,
( Here follow the signatures . ) The circular in which the address was enclosed called npon the masters to see that a delegate was sent to a meeting to be held at the Bull's Head , London-road , on Friday evening , at eight o ' clock . Were these delegates to be elected by the workpeople ? Not a bit of it . The employer was the party who sent the representative , —not to represent the feelings of hi 3 workfellowsj nor his own opiniens , but the will of his master ; and , as might be expected , the meeting was composed of their , "lickspittles" and overlookers , with a very few exceptions . Kay , in fact , there vra ^ one master there who actually stated that be was the representative of his men . However , the . ro is seldom a meeting without
some good Chartist getting into their assemblies . But , noivmhst&uding their exertions , there were very few delegates assembled : and even those , ou account of one or two good men being present , could not agree among themselves about passing the address ; the honest part of them wanticg to have a public meeting ot delegates to be called . But this would not answer tbeir purpose ; and tbe Chairman , who is a well-knowu . tool of the League , distinctly stated that that would cot do . But he thought thai Mr . Cobden would conhj to Manchester about Easter , when it mi ^ ht be safe to call a public meeting in the Free Trade Hall ; and there is no doubt bnt it would be filled with the working classes . We beg leave to tell him tbat if they dare to call a
public meeting in the Robbers' Hall ; it shall be well filled with the workiug classes . And further , that if Mr . Cobden will only have the honesty to come before tee working men of Manchester , they will give hkn to understand that they are well acquainted with the question of free trade ; and also of the objects of himself and hiB colleagues . But wby not call the meeting now ? Why put it off unul Easter ! Will the people be more wise then I The League stated broadly , at the late banquet , that it was the people ' s ignorance thai kept them from joining them . Will ihat ignorance be removed at Easter ? Not a bn of it . What is the object , then ? We perfectly understand tbe matter . Tie League imagine that the poor fellows that are to be made
the victims of tbeir " plug revolution" will by that time be locked up ; and that by this means the people ' s "barking dogs" will be removed , and therefore , they think that they can first divide , and then devour the flock . We beg leave , however , to tell them , if this be their object , they are " reckoning without their bost f and this they will find , if they will come boldly before the people . Let them not lay tbe flattering unetion to their souls , that there will be no one to prevent them from thrusting their follies down the throats of the unwary part of the community . We earnestly hope , however , that they will call a pnblic meeting ; and if they do , we promise them tbat they will not have it all their owii way , without the Chartists having a say in tbe matter . —Correspondent .

True Wisdom . — "A wise general on the eve of battle makes a proper dispc sition of his forces beforehand , and does not wait till the enemy has made an attack , and thus , by forethought and due preparation , reasonably expects a victory ; thus he who haa a desire to attain a healthy , and consequently happy old age , does not indolently wait for the attack of the enemy , which is sickness , but is constantly on his guard against his insiduous approaches , by paying proper attention to the state of his health . Many would fain occasionally use medicine to assist nature in her operation , but like a mariner at sea without his compass , knowing not where to steer , they fir ? t try this , and then that , and meet with nothing but disappointment ; to these , now welcome must be the important fact , that Parr ' s Life Pills are now proved to be all that are required to conquer disease and prolong life .

The Glasgow Unemployed . —A few of these wreiched creatures were employed ) this forenoon in breaking the ice in our streets , at the rate of Is per day .

The meetings in the Olympic arena are still continued ; bnt with the exception of hearing speeches and suggesting new pMp §| jfor relief , comparatively nothing is being done on their behalf . — Glasgow Chronicle . j Fatal Occurrence at ToRQUAYJ-Between three and four o'clock on Saturday afternoon , a small French sloop having hoisted a signal of distress .
wxtnin 100 yards of the pier , the se ^ raging furiously at the time ,, four se&men put out to . her assistance , and , having rendered the requisite aid , were returning , when a heavy sea broke over tho boat and washed two of the poor fellows out | of her . She immediately filled , and the other two- sank in her . They ail however , struggled hard ti > gam the shore , but to no purpose—three of them sinking to rise no more , wbile tho fourth , who floatedfwithin reach , by means , it would appear , of the largeness of his dress , with apparent signs of animation , was promptly attended to by Drs .

Destruction of Trevuchan Turnpike Gates . — Last Monday at midnight a mob' of forty or fifty persons destroyed two turnpike gates at Trevuchan , in this county ( Pembrokeshire ) , one leading to Tavern-spite , the other to Lampeter , ; and entirely demolished the turnpike-gate house , out of which the gate-keeper had gone a little time ; previous for the night . The mob were observed to como up to tho Lampetre-road , and only three or four of them had disguised themselves . There ican be no doubt that these men were from the Ea ^ Jish part of Pembrokeshire , as a person who secreted himself in a garden just by the house had watched their proceedings and heard them converse all in English , which seemed to be their vernacular tongue , and not a word of Welsh wag spoken by any of them . These on the and
^ ates are VVhitland trust repaired by the parishes , which seem to be the principal grievance . The excitement still continues in the lower part of Carmarthenshire , notwithstanding " \ the discharge of the military and pensioners ; and seme of the less educated people pretend to have Scripture warrant for their doings , quoting the 24 f . h chapter of Genesis , as . follows : — " And they blessed R bekah and said unto her , thou shalt be the mother of hundreds of millions , and thy children shall possess tho gates of them which hath them . " This texi wjhich is somewhat applicable to the situntion of affairs : near St . Clear , is preached from and expatiated upon by many itinerant preachers , and the multitude doubtless believe they have a warrant for their lawless doing ? . Great credit is due to tbe magistrates for the moupures they have taken to abate the disturbance . — Welshman .
Bihth IN the Snow . —A few days since , a young woman named Janet Campbell , wife of Robert Bain , resident at Trantlemoro , Strathatladale , was on her way to her father ' s , who resides at Farr , accompanied by her sister and a young man named Angus Gordon . When about two miles past Leadi . ogullem , ( it was then ten o'clock at night ) , she felt the pains of labour , and Gordon immediately started off to Kirtomy to procure assistance and a conveyance , leaving the woman with her sister behind . The snow at this time was lying deep on the roads , and it was with the greatest difficulty a cart could travel
over it . When the man got back iagam with blankets . &o ., and a bed to place the woman upon in the cart , he found her lying on the snow in the middle of the road , having being delivered of a fine boy about a quarter of an hour previously ! Her sister stood by her in tbe greatest distress of mind , and nearly perished with the cold , having stripped off almost the whole of her own clothes to put about the youug mother and her infant son . The parties were carefully removed , and both mother and child are doing remarkable well . —John O'Groal ' s Journal .
Appalling and Fatal Accident . —A poor man named John Newton , aged 42 , and residing in Paradise-row , Chelsea , was , ou Saturday noon , returning home fr- ' > m Tooley-hbveet , Borough , with a waggon heavily laden with grain , the property of his master , Mr . Jjimes Hornsby , coal and cprn merchant , of " Ebury-wharf , Pimiioo , when by an accident not yet to be accounted for , he was , while iprocecding along the Broad Sanctuary , uear Westminster Abbey , ruu over by one of the fore wheels of his waggon , when , the hordes being stopped by a stnin ^ er before the other wheel could gain upon him , { he waa conveyed straightway to the Westminster { Hospital , where the house surgeon pronounced hitn to be , upon examination , quite dead ; although , when first brought
in , beerinetd symptoms of animation , by a move mentof the under-jaw . Aa inquest was beld ou the body the same evening , at tbe Duke of Ormond ' s Head , Princes-street , wiieu a verdict of " Accidental death"returned , with adeodand of Is . on the waggon . Mr . Higga , the coroner , remarked , that it was asin ^ ular accident , that , ia a taoroughfare so eminently public as the Broad Sanctuary , there should have been no persons passing by at the { time of the accident , from whom to elicit some particulars , as to the manner in which tho deceased came by his awful death , save the two strange young men on deposition , who could ouly say that they saw poor Newton lying cramped or doubled up , on some newly-macadamioed ruad , between the shaft-horse
and the fore-wheel , whioh ere they could approach to his assistance , passed completely over hi .- , body , which , bleeding profusely , presented to their eyes , they said , " the most horrid sight they had ever witnessed . " Mr . Hornby , who was prrsent at the inquest , deposed , that the deceased was sober in general , and was such at the tim ^ he left his wharf in the morning , and that In was not in the habit of " riding upon the shafts ; " which ! previous to this investigation , had been suspected , by nearly all present , to have been the cause of tho catastrophe . But he was , by his master ' s statement , troubled with a vioknt cough ; and the conclusion simultaneously drawn from this , was , that having arrived at the
place above-mentioned , his foot stumbled against the rou « h macadam , whi h caused nim to fall ; and being then seized with cou c hing , was unable to regain his standing , or call io the horses to stop , before the wheel ( as above ) pasted over him . In about an hour afterwards , his wife was conveyed to the hospital by some humane f ' ri nr . s , wiien she was ushered into the waiting room , where , being , shortly after , informed that her husband was no more , her cries and lamontations bi cume imasediately so distressing , that all attempts to paeisy her proved unavailing ; and , in the evening , at the Ormond ' a Head , ( where the inquest was hoUleu , ) bhe was seized with hysterics .

Lokdon Corn Fxchanlie , Monday Fib 2 " — Since this day Be ' nni&ht , the arrival of English Wheat up to our market , coastwise aa we !! as byland carriage and sample , ba ^ i b ^ en on a vew limited scale , and , owing to the ;> r ( vailing humidity of the atmosphere , of middling ami inferior quaJiy . Today , the best descriptions were mo ^ iiy lak'jii off at prices about equal to thosT nf < tcd on tbis day se'nnight ; in weathered at . 4 out of cono'iriou sorts a trifling abatement wa , s submitted Co by tb- holdt-rs ; for Foreign Wheat we have no variation whatever to notice in last week's quotations .- Malting Barley maintained it 3 previous valu ? . Superfine ualt was inquired for , and firmly supported the curr .-rr i < -9 noted on this day 6 ts ' nntt ; ht . In ; Oats the prices ruled about s ationary . In Beans and 1 \ j . o little alteration . Flour at late races .
Lokdon Smithfield Market , Monday , Fin 20 . —From our grazing districts , whence tho principal portion of the supplies of Bi-. isib are uiiiaily derived , the arrivals wero largo . The Beef Vraae was in a very depressed state : in fact , this ? was one of the dullest markets experienced for maiiy weens pa-jt ; tho salesmen submitted to a reduction in the pnc > s noied on this day se ' nwght of from 2 d to , and in some few instances , 4 d prr 8 ibs . Sheep came rather freely to hand ; the quotations declined fuliy 2 d per 8 ibs on those of last week . We had a lar ^ e supply of calves , hence the dt mand fori them was very inactive , at an abatement ot" from 2 d to 4 d per 8 . hi . The Pork trade waa excessively jheavy , and the fieuras had a downward tenceticy . Not a siugle head of Stock has been imported from abroad since our last , neither had wt any here torday .
Tallow . —Tho depression in Uii 3 market suli continues . The quotation of this morning is nior . 8 particularly for Y . C . in quantiLm on or before the end of the month small parcels of YiC . being Hi . 8 d . to 44 s . For the last throe months there are sellers of Tallow at 42 i . 6 d ., and for separate months , from August to Dscember iuclusive , at 43 s . Town tallow is 46 s . net cash . Rough fat 2 s . 8 d . per 81 bs . ; melted stuff 32 s . per cwt . ¦ Wool Mabkets . —So far as the large public sales of Colonial aud other Wools , which will be continued this week , have , as yet , proceeded , the result has not been to say vtry sattst ' actory to the importer ? , still , and although the biddings have been far from animated , the prices have not undergone any material depression . The imports continue very small , viz . about 300 bales for South America and Constantinople .
