The consequences arising from this dangerous practice , are not confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading tbe excited deviating mind into a fertile field of seducive error , — into a gradual but total degradation of manhood—into & pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on , premature deeripitude , and all the habitudes of old age .

Hzetl^G Of The Leeds Town I Council. ;
HZETl ^ G OF THE LEEDS TOWN i council . ;
The Council assembled en Wednesday last , pur-Huant to notice . After the Mayor had taken his ; scat , the minutes of the preceding meeting were read aad disposed of . ; A statement-of the estimated expenditure for the i , year ensuing was read , which gave rise to consider- j able discussion , in the course of which Mr . Alderman Tottie took occasion to congratulate the Council on the reduction which was likely to take place in the expenditure , as compared with previous years . The tables he exhibited went back to the year 1839 , coming down to the present time . Mr . Alderman Tottie had evidently been at some trouble to rake ! together matter to prove his position .
Mr . Councillor Hobson would not allow the worft y Alderman to chaunt such a " song of triumph , " ' wien facts and figures went to prove the case I Decidedly against hint . Mr . Hobson exhibited a ! tabular statement commencing wiih an average of the seven years previous to the year 1835 , from which " appeared that there was not mush room for con- _ g ratul&tion , bat every necessity for a speedy retrenchment : the simple fact being , that the cost of constabulary" had more than doubled ; that " crime " * ad its cost hadTastly increased ; and that all other 1 « pendhnre had followed in the same wake . To prove this it was only to mention the fact
necessary I taat the average expenditure for the seven years I named , was but £ 3 . 000 ; while the " reformed corpo-I ration" had in 1839 eost £ 15 700 ; in 1841 £ 19 , 331 ; a a 1 & 43 , , £ 21 , 4 * 34 ; being just upon three time * the amount the old corporation cost . It was trne I *««¦ »? t year there had been a reduction of £ 3 , 0 ( 0 ; ^ f ° ""* year there was an estimated redaction of 3 ~ j , tH 0 more . This was indeed matter of coBeratnla tion , as compared with the years 1841 and 1843 ; for " ^ ow ? d that the council had seen it necessary to retrace its steps , though it had a Ions way to eome back before it reached lhat point , £ 8 , 000 , atiwhich H started .
, "ereeveral motion 3 of minor importance had «* n deposed of , Mr . ilania Cawood rose to move—., "That the meetings of the Watch Committee for I tae future be held in the council room , and that * f « ss be allowed to the public on the same terms as -aey are admiiud to Council meetings . " Be begged to say that Ihe with confideace bronght iorward his motion , because he believed there was no more reason for concealment in the Watch Com-™ ttee than in the Council meetings . As a Representative and servant of the public : and » a friend to popnlar election , he really could I wTT-l eKaT ( * ' *" ^ f"our any mode of proceedings I *^ Precluded the public from a knowledge of the I node in which their business was condncted .

Committee , ! about -which nothing satisfactory could be learned , Mr . Cawood resumed his seat . Mr . Councillor Eobxby seconded the motion . -Mr . Councillor Yxwvxll taunted Mr . Cawood with a desire to win a little popularity against November next . He ( Mr . Yewdall ) had gnen a pledge , previous to his election to office , to vote for open Committees ; but having served oa the Watch Committee , he could not , with hispresent experience , think ef putting the public in the possession of snch facts as were constantly brought nnder their observation . ^ For instance , a publican , to serve his own ends , might gire drink to a policeman ; and the offieer might accept the same , although a good and respectable officer in every other respect . Now , if the proceedings of the Watch Committee were made public , policemen who had once been guilty of a fault could not walk the streets but they would
be Kibject to the taunts of the inhabitants . Mr . Yewdall made a leng speech in a similar strain , and conclnded by saying that he should certainly oppose the motion . Before he sat down , however , be wonld observe , that in the event of the motion passing , the members of the Watch Committee wonld never be safe from the gibes and jeers of the newspaper press ; and many good servants and respectable policemen would be driven out of the service , much to the injnry of the town , by the frequent attacks that would be made upon them . : Mr . Councillor Smith would vote for an open Committee . He knew not why secrecy shonld prev arin tbe Watch Committee more than the Counei ] C hmber . Ho waa on the Committee , and was at a loss to know whatever there was that ought to be kept secret . There was nothing that he had been concerned with that he would not wish every one to know of and he shonld vote for full pnblicity .
Mt . Councillor Chaven made a speech in favour of a closed Committee . He believed that public opinion would be against him j but he conld not deem it safe to adopt the motion , and should therefore vote against it . ilr . Councillor White spoke in favour of tbe motion . He said it would effectually do away with the syBtem of " noseing , " which , althongh seemingly abolished , might with closed doors , speedily show itself again . Mr . Alderman Shaw could not support the motion ; neither could Mr . Councillor Cliffe , nor Mr . Councillor Barratt , nor yet Mr . Councillor Barton , who with many others deplored the evils which must sorely follow if the motion met with & f&TQm&ble
reception-Mr . Councillor Hobson said he could not allow the motion to pass without comment . What were they sent there to do ? and who were they that sent them there ! Were they not sent by the public to do public business ! and would any man contend that the public ought not to know what their own business was ! Would any individual consent to be so treated ; that was , if he was sane ; and what was true of an individual , was trne of society . Having watched the course of the debate , he was at a loss to account for the conduct of those gentlemen who profess to admire popnlar freedom , but who nevertheless shrink from the performance of a public duty . They were told that the proceedings of the Watch Committee ought to be concealed from the public eye : why , if
the argument was of any weight ; if the gibc 3 and jeers of the press were to bo so much dreaded , and \ he police screened from them , why not close every court and hall of justice in the kingdom 1 Why not throw the mantle of secrecy orer every case as well as over tfee case brought before the drHnken police ] The real fact was the system of police was so bad , so base , so atrocious , so damnable , that its advocates were afraid to let it be seen in its full proportions . They dare not let in on it the fnll light of day for fear that public indignation and public virtue would upset both it and them , Why shonld a drunkard be allowed to escape the censure of the public , because he wore a bine coat , and was paid 18 s . per week , while another , who paid
the 18 * . and worked for the coat the policeman wore , was , for a less offence , dragged to prison , his little peccadillos" exposed , and his name bandied abont in the public press ! Mr . Yewdall had said that if the Committee was open , the members would not act , with the "independence" they exhibited when in secret . What a compliment ! And was independence snch a loo .-e thing among them , that it could be doffed and donned , just as the public eye was directed on or off their proceedings ! Publicity was the ^ great correctire . It was more dreaded in a many cases , that even the sentence of a 1 Court itself . The conductors of tbe public pres 3 knew full well that oftentimes applications were made by parties , who would beg
and pray , and go almost any length , to prevent the case against them from being made public . The whole public voice was in favour of publicity in pab ? : c affairs , and strongly against secret inquiries . Of that fact they had had a recent example . It was matter of notoriety that Mr . Tbomas Duncombe , in the House of Commons , had preferred charges of gross and flagrant abuse against a department of tbe state . The matter was sought to be set at rest by the appointment of a secret committee to inquire : and how had that proposal been received \ With one universal burst of execration . And when Mr . Duncombe refnsed to place himself in the hands of such committee , was not his conduct applauded by the Press of all parties , and did not the Hon . Gentleman deservedly stand high in public estimation
for his very bold and proper conduct . These facts showed that public opinion was against secret inquiries and secret proceedings . In this case , they had a committee with immense powers , power to appoint and suspend policemen ; power to expend £ 8 000 : and all this they did without ever eeeking for the sanction of the Council , as the act required . But , aimed with lhe « e tremendous powers as the Committee were , and using them in the manner they did , it wa 3 too much to do so in the teeth of the public , whose business the Committee pretended to be transacting . On that principle be took his stand . They were Eent there by the public to do the public ' * business . The public had a right to know , both what that business was , and tbe manner in which it was done . For that reason he
snonld vote for the motiofl . After a few remarks from Mr . Alderman Lcc-CCCK , Mr . Mabtis Catvood replied at good length , and tfF-rctively . On the rote being taken , the numbers were—for the motion 10 ; against it 19 . The Council then adjourned to Friday , to resume its sittings , at elevtn o ' clock .

Execution gf a Mctixeeb . —The Madras Athe jiwum gives the following account of the execution of the principal criminal concerned in the recent mutiny of the 47 th Madras Native Infantry : — " It was a misty morning , and dark clouds overspread the s ? jy . Numbers had already assembled , and still more were hastening to witness the awful spectacle of Veerasawmy ' s execution . But the opportunity to do so with anything like advantage or effect was allowed oaly to a privileged few , while the muhitade looked on from a distance , and beheld objects as through a clouded glass . None but a few officers , and those , perhaps , on duty , were permitted , in addition to fire men from each company of the 25 ih King ' s Own Borderers , and fifty from each of the
Native regiments , to enter the fort ,- within the confines of which , and on a point stretching southward into the sea , was performed the last tragic scene in the mutineer ' s life , terminating in his death . I regret I have it not in my power to give you as full particulars as I should have been able to do had 1 entered the fort , but as admission could not be obtained , I must simply say my say , adding thereto a little of hearsay . A little after eix o ' clock two squadrons of 36 men each , from the 45 th and 5 th , were marched into the fort , leaving stationed at the entrance , as a reserve guard , some of the artillery and others , to prevent , as 1 suppose , a rush . Both the squadrons were then assembled near the place of execution , where a grave had been dug the day
previous . The men of the 25 th made their appearance at about a quarter to seven , and immediately afterwards there was a stir within , and the attention of the populace being directed thereto , the utmost . silence prevailed . The man was brought between two Sepoys , and stationed near the grave . Tbe clean white handkerchief was brought , and bound over the eyes of the unfortunate man . Who could tell his thoughts at thai moment ! The firing party , which was to have consisted of 14 , bnt reduced to 6 , were seen to take their position . The provost-sergeant repaired to hia post . The word was given—the party fired—and three of the six ballB that were
discharged penetrated the body , which fell gradually to the ground . The provost-Bergeant went up and lodged tbe contents of his missile—I can ' t tell where—but this completed the work of execation . The body was interred on the fpot ; no religious ceremonies were allowed to be preformed over the corpEe or grave . The men of the 47 th who have been sentenced to imprisonment with hard rnlabo for two years , left thia for Calicut the very da-y the order was received ; and those to be transported where sent this morning lihe 18 th ) , under escort , to Bangalore , where they will be made over to the civil authorities , to be by them gent on to Madras . "
Ai * amiikg Accident . —On MoHday afternoon , about five o ' clock , a very serions accident happened to the carriage and horses of Mr . Currie , the banker , in the Regent ' s-park , which occasioned great alarm and excitement among the people assembled there . It appears tbat the carriage was beibg driven at a steady pace towards the New-road , when a fly drawn by one horse came through the Cambridge-gate in the same direction , at a sharp ' pace , and the wheel struck ihe near-side horse on the shoulder , which caused , both hones to swerve to the offside , and in doing so the pole of Ihe carriage snapped asunder , and the horsfs became quite unmanageable , ran on io the footpath , and plunged and kicked in a frightful manner . The coachman , having in vain attempted to stop them ,

jumped from the box at the imminent iUk of his life and the footman also descended from his place behind , and after they had liberated a lady , their miBtress , who descended from the carriage greatly terrified , they attempted to quiet the horses and to extricate them from the harness , but they were eo entangled in consequence of their bind legs being over the Bplinter-bar , that all their efforts were of no avail , until Mr . E Hitchings , an artist , of Royalstreet , Lambeth , and hia brother , Mr . C . Hitchings , who were engaged in patting ap m large fountain in tne Collosenm , rushed forth from the building , and extricated the near-side horse by cutting tbe harnese . The offside horse immediately broke away , and in doing so knocked down the coaohmau , and the hoof of the horse struck him on tbe bead , inflicting a severe wound , and rendering him insensible . The animal then started off at a
furiouB pace towards tho New-road , knocking down several persons during its career , until it reached the Circus-gate , where it came with great force against the ornamental iron lamp-post . The violence of the shock knocked down the lamp-post , which fell with aloud noise , nearly crushing in its descent two fruitwomen who were seated by their stalls . The horse received a serious wound , and fell with its entrails exposed , the wound extending from the flank to the ribs . The blood gushed forth in a stream from the boree'B body , and after giving several violent plunges and attempting to rise , it fell over its right side and expired . The other norse did not sustain much damage , bnt the carnage was shattered , the pole and gpiinter-bar broken in several pieces , and the harness torn . The horse which waa killed was a remarkably fine animal worth £ 60 . No blame is attributable to the coachman , who is a very steady man .

seized with typus fever ; they were all interred in one grave . Thus in one short week , was Mrs . Nelson deprived of all her boys . Through the precautions adopted by Mr . Asbury , the surgeon , this frightful disease has not spread any further in the town Of Enflrfld ; everything was destroyed , and the whole premises thoroughly painted , &c . Mrs . Nelson ' s means being very limited a subscription has been got up on her behalf in Enfield , and also in the parish of Friern Barnet , from which place she had recently removed .

Payne , City Coroner , on the body of John Braidy , alias Robertson , aged twenty , a prisoner awaiting his trial . The body when viewed by , the jury , presented a shocking spectacle , privation and oisease having wasted it to a mere tkeleton . From the evidence it appeared that the deceased was a painter by trade , but ill health for several months
past had prevented him from getting his livelihood by it . Deprived of getting his living honestly , he took to thieving , and a short time back was committed to Newgate for trial . He wad found guilty , and sentenced to imprisonment in the House of Correction . On his release he continued bis old practices , and on the 11 th instant waa again oommitted to Newgate , from Qaeen-equare Police-court , on a charge of stealing four pairs of boots and one pair of shoes .

Martin-le-Grand , until past seven o'clock , being two hours behind time . Great anxiety was felt on the subject , and on the arrival of the mail , it was made knowu that early in the morning , the . axle- tree of one of the railway carriages had broken down near Chesterfield , and caused the delay .

Supposed IkcendiarisM . —Early on the morning of Thursday last , three stacks were discovered to be on fire in the corn-yard of the farm of Welltree , in the parish of Madderty ^ possessed by Mr . Ruthven Ritchie . Although assistance was speedily procured , and every exertion used to arrest the flames , the Etacks were entirely consumed . Happily , however , the flameB were kept from doing further mischief . What makes the affair look very like the work of an incendiary , is the circumstance of the fire , when discoveredbeing fonnd to be in aa equal state of
pro-, gression , and bearing undoubted appearances of having commenced at the bottom of the stacks . It iB reported tbat the Procurator-Fiscal has been investigating the matter on the spot ; but we have not yet heard whether anything has been elucidated sufficient to ground a charge against any particular party . —Perth Advertiser . ImkaLEHENt op a Maiden . —On . Sunday evening week * at the email village of Dalton , near Croft t a singular and dangerous accident occurred to a young woman , servant to Mr . Preston , farmer . She was ascending a plum-tree ( procuring fruit ) , when the branches gave way ; and in her fall she came in contact with a large hay fork that was placed against

. Fatal OccrjRHtNcs . -An exrtaordinary and fatal circumstance occurred on the Bhor « , near Host Baak , on Tuesday last . On the morning of that day Mr . Adam Clark , of Hest Bank , and a man of the name of John Teeadale , who is from the neighbourhood of AppieDy , and has for some time been liviag off and on in the neighbourhood , were returning along the shore from eel-spearing , and had arrived so far home as within about 200 yardB of the ascending footpath that leads from the beach to the high , land , and thence over the canal bridge to the hamlet of Hest u j ' ji t - 8 Pot S ow 8 inconBiderableabuudance tbe deadly nightshade , atropa belladonna , a perennial plant with herbaceous stem . The fruit has a berry as large as a Bmall grape , and a dark purple colour . Two elderly women , one of the name of Jane
Sandham and the other Betsy Wainhouse , and both residing m Lancaster , were standing amongst the plantB and eating the berries when Mr . Clark and Teeadale came up . Mr . Clark inquired what the berries were , and on being told by the females that they were blacberriea or barberries , he began to gather and eat also , as did 'feesdale . The parties separated , Mr . Clark and Tcesdale coming on to tho Hest Bank Hotel ( whioh belong 9 to Mr . Croskell , Mr . Clark ' s father-in-law ) , and bringing with them several of the berries , whioh were immediately pronounced by Mr . Croskell and a neighbour ( Mr . Knipe ) to be poison . Finding this , Mr . Clark swal lowed a dose of such medicine as was at hand , and that , luckily for him , served all the purpose of an emetic . Nevertheless he waa seized with an
alarming illness , parched tonguo , dizziness , difficulty of swallowing , swollen face and eyes , and delirium . Mr . Ellery , surgeon , of Bolton , was scut for , and by the unremitting attention of that gentleman Mr . Clark was eventually brought round in the course of the following morning , and he is now quite restored , bat still exhibiting some effects of the deadly character of the poison . Meanwhile the two women , who had come out from Lancaster merely to eDJoy a little excursion on the seashore , made the best of
their way home , but they had not proceeded far before the symptoms desoribed above be ^ an to manifest tbemselveB . Parched and thirsty , the great desire was for drink , but one of the two having heard , tbat drinking ought to be avoided in such oases ( for they had suspicion they were poisoned > had the fortitude to abstain . They succeeded it * reaching their dwelling in Bridge-lane , in this town , and one of them immediately repaired to Messrs . Besten and Leack , surgeons , and those gentlemen were in immediate attendance . The condition in
which both the patients were was moat alarming , and but for the application of remedial measures , and the great exertions of the medical gentlemen , no doubt both would have died . They were in a state of mania throughout . the night , but eventually the means adopted proved successful , and after much suffering the poor women both recovered . It should be mentioned that the one who abstained from drink , though she had eaten moat , suffered the least . One ate about a pint of the berries , aud the other only about-a-dozsn at most . The tragic part of the story remains to be told . Tse poor fellow , Teesdale , had been missed very soon after his arrival at the Heat Bank Hotel , which would be about noon on Tuesday . He was-nowhere seen , add the wonder was
where he could be . The day and the night passed away , and he did not make his appearance . It happened that Mr . Crosk 11 had a load of straw coining home , and it arrived about eleven o ' clock on Wednesday . In order to prepare a place for its reception , Mr . Croskell went Up into the hay-loft , and began to clear away the old straw , when he discovered Teesdale lying stiff and insensible , with bis body swollen to an extraordinary size , eyes closed , &o . Mr . Croskell returned immediately to the house , gave the alarm , and Teesdale was cara / ully brought down from his retreat and put to bed . Without loss of time Mr . EUory was Sent for again , and again that gentlemao applied himself with
praiseworthy diligence . Every means were taken to neutralize the effects of the poison , and , in fact , Ellery stopped the whole night with his patient . After some time the medicines answered their intended purpose , and there was a considerable rallying , so that at one time there appeared some hope of recovery . However , the patient again grew worse , and on Thursday Dr . de Vitre was sent for from Lancaster , but . human aid was of no avail . The poor feliow lingered on through Thursday night , and yesterday morning , between six and setea , breathed his last , in a state of perfect exhaustion . The deceased was about sixty years of age , and of robust constitution . —Lancaster Gazette .
Incendiarism in Suffolk . —The spirit of incendiarism has again manifested itself by a farm in the occupation of Mr . Silvor&tone , of Saxham , being fired on Saturday evening la&l in three places . Between the hours of seven aud eight , the granary , which was situate afehort distance from the dwellinghouse , was discovered to be on fire at one end of the roof . Owing to great exertions on the part of those who bad been alarmed , they , by taking off that part of the roof , had nearly succeeded in extinguishing it , when some stacks were found also to have beon on
fire in two places . Two fire-engines from Bury St . Edmund ' s arrived at the spot as quickly as possible , but were unable to save two large beau stacks ( one of which was of this year ' s growth ) , a stack of barley , and a quantity of barley rakings . We understand this last makes the third incendiary fire that has taken place in this parish within the last fortnight . It is generally thought that these finjs are but the forerunners of another season of conflagration , consequently tho approaching winter is looked forward to with corresponding alarm and uneasiness .
Astonishing Performance . —A most singular feat was , on Moaday , successfully performed on the river between Vauxhall and Westminster bridges . Mr . Barry , one of the clowns of Astley * Theatre , had announced his intention of sailing from Vauxhall to Westminster in a washing-tub drawn by two geese , A large crowd assembled on both sides of the river to witness this strange undertaking . At about halfpast three o ' clock Mr . Barry , with several of his friends , and attired in his clown ' s dress , arrived at Vauxhall bridge , and all things having been prepared , he at once stepped into his tub and started upon his voyage . The tide being in his favour he went along safely enough , and had little difficulty in making the geese keep a proper course . An immense number of boats accompanied this strange water party , eo that the intrepid voyaguer was in no danger of drowning . Mr . Barry disembarked from his vessel at Westminster bridge , and proceeded amidst loud cheers to the theatre . : — *»>

A Horse in a China Shop . —On Thursday last , a gig and horse , in charge of a servant of Colonel Low of Clatto , having been left standing before Mr . David Reid's shop door while the servant was inside executing Bame orders , the horse got startled by the noise , it is said , of a wheelbarrow which some person waa rolling out of a neighbouring court . He immediately darted into Mr . Newton ' B stoneware shop opposite ; and having broken from his traces , left the gig at the door , in order to be more at his freedom , and began dancing about among tho crockery . Mr . Newton having endeavoured to stop this outrageous beast in his mad career , was soon disposed of with his broad back on the floor . Tureens he overthrew with his feet , basins he knocked about
with his nose , and he whisked the smaller articles or crockery off the counter with his tail , pricking his ears all the while , and snorting with evident glee and delight . Amidst all the fearful desolation which he created , the inhuman creature , far from feeling the pangs of remorso for his crimes , seemed to take a savage pleasure in the thing , and continued to go ahead and try how much of Mr . Newton ' s valuable stoneware he could destroy , knowing that the whole was to be charged to Colonel Low ' s account . Nothing so utterly lawless and wild in the dancing department as this beast's style of pirouetting and side-cutting was ever seen in this world , or even in Cupar , within the memory of man . Luckily , the finer branches in the stoneware line were in the back
room . The horse , now wishing to extend his depredations , set his face towards this quarter , Mrs . Newton , who throughout ; the whole of this trying scene had displayed the utmost fortitude , had the presence of mind to fasten the glass door , and to barricade it inside with the furniture as well aB Bhe could , and then fled for safety and for succour into a press , the door of which she kept a little agee , in order that , if her life should be Spared , BD 6 might witness the issue of the day's eventful transactions . In the meantime ! , the horse having satisfied himself with smashing two pounds nineteen shillings worth of good pigs ( Anglioe , crockery ) in the front shop , resolved to have a shy at the elegant china in the back room , and accordingly manfully knocked his
head through one of the panes of glass ; but was checked in t the assault b y the defences skilfully erected by Mrs . Newton , who still maintained her position in the press . While in this retreat she saw the monster trust his bleeding head and gory locks into the room , and coolly stand and take a vidimus of the whole premises—gazing earnestly upon her , while he allowed the blood to flow from his reeking temples into one of her most fashionable basins . His spirits , however , being at last cooled by plentiful phlebotomy , jhe was , witu some difficulty , backed out into the Bonnygate . Mr . Newton doea not recollect of any customer having done bo much business in his shop in so short a space of time , and with eo little speaking . —Fifeshire Journal .

The Leeds Board op Highwat Survetobs v the Trustees op a Turnpike Road . —At the latter end of the month of August , the trustees of the Leeds and Otley turnpike-road succeeded in obtaining an order from three magistrates on the Surveyors of the Highways for the { township of Leeds , for the payment of a large sum of money for the repair of Woadhouse Lane , although the trustees were in the receipt of the whole of line tolls , and the Woodhouse Lane toll-bar is so placed as to be already a tax upon a very large proportion of the inhabitants . The Surveyors of the Highways have resisted this most monstrous demand , and have called a vestry meeting forj Monday evening next to Jay their proceedings in the matter before the
rate-payers , and to aek their advice on the subject . In the words o [ the notice , the meeting is called " For the purpose of taking into consideration , the steps to be taken in reference to a certain order , bearing date tbe 30 th day of August last , under the hands and seals of Anthony Tit ley , Tbomas Wra Tottie , and David Wm . Nell , Esquires , whereby they have required the surveyors of the highways of the township of Leeds to pay , out of the highway-rates of that township , ! the sum of £ 377 Sa . 2 d ., towards repairing the turnpike road leading from Leeds to Otley ; and against which said order the said surveyors have given notice of appeal ; ann amongst tho various grounds Of appeal
are the following : —That \ the tolls arising from the Leeds and Otley turnpike road have not been applied according to law ; that the branoh road from Headingley to Oiley was made without legal authority , and against the provisions of f he Act of Parliment , for that the treasurer ; had no funds in hand with whioh to make the same , as required byjthe Act . And at such meeting the said inhabitants will be asked to determine whether the said appeal shall be prosecuted or withdrawn ; " We recommend Io the rate-payers of Leeds that they be present , and hear the facts of this most ; important case . It involves the annual expenditure of a large sum of money , which will have to come out of their pockets , should the trustees succeed in their monstrous ¦
attempt . Odd Fellowship . —Leeds District , M .

SrniKE of Ship Carpenters — Si / nderland , Sept 17 . —The ship carpenters of this port have struck for an advance of wages . At present their wages are eighteen shillings per week , and ( hey request that these wages ( which it must be admitted are very low ) should be raised to twenty-one shillings . For the last three or four years ship-building at this and the neighbouring towns has been ! iu a greatly depressed state—so touch so , that the wages of carpenters declined from thirty shillings ! and upwards down to eighteen shillings and even to sixteen shillings per week . Many ship-builders were either ruined or voluntarily closed their yards , aud indeed last year there were scarcely ever a doz ^ a ships upon the stocks at a time in this port , which was once
celebrated as the first ship-building port in the world . At the commencement of this year a revival of this important branch of industry took place , and ! hundreds of ablebodied men who were thrown lor sustenance upon the poor-rates again found employment , although at low wages . Since the Close of the pitmen ' s strike there has beeu an extraordinary demand for vessels , and freights have been offered both in the coasting aud foreign fades double those given at a corresponding period of the preceding year , and iu some instances a still further advance has been demanded and obtained . The consequence of this has been , lhat ships have risen in value , and an additional impetus ha 3 been given to ship-building , which is now in a thriving , land promises speedilye to bo in a highly flourishing , state . The men hav
Feizod the present opportunity so favourablo for obtaining increased remuneration fer their labour . On Saturday night last , most of them ceased work , aud yesterday they held a numerous meeting on Building Hill , at which they resolved to continue out of employment luntil they received 21 s . ppr week . This afternoon they were to have held another meeting in the same locality , but this meeting either was postponed , or the place altered . The general opinion in the town is , that the workmen are entitled to and will receive the advanced wages ; but it is to be regretted that previous to a strike commencing the men employed in any trade do not wait upon their employers , and represent tbtir wishes and urge their claims . If this were done , strikes would not be so frequent as they now are , and a better feeling would prevail amongst masters and men . !
