LAMBETn . Joseph Edgill , 3 cab driver , was placed at the liar , for final examination , before Mr . Elliott , oil a Charge Of stealinglGJ sovereigp . s , and articles of plate of the value of nearly £ 20 , the property of Mr . Mason , a respectable tradesman . From the evidence of Mrs . Mason , it appeared that on a former da ; she had engaged the defendant at the top of RederosB-street , to . lrive herself and little girl to their residence , She bad stopped . « fce said , once or twice during the journey , and when leaving the cab had left a basfcet she had with her in the vehicle , containing 16 | sovereigns and a qiantity of
plate . The dtfeuce then set up by the prisoner was that after Mrs . Mason had got np , he took up a second fare , and lmevb nothing whatever of thepmpirty ; hut he was remanded in order to give the police time to inquire into the matter . Since the examination , Jfr . Mason had ascertained from his daughter who liad been in the cab , that there had been two strange men in the vehicle with her mother ; and Mrs . Mason , drcadin ? the consequences of the expose and the robbery together , had not since been home to her husband ; and as she did not appear a-ainst the accused he was discharged .
WOHSHIP-STBEET . On Tuesday , two stylishly dressed men , named John Pledger and John GUchris ^ -were charged on suspicion Of having piefced the pocket of Miss Mary Anne Moy , a young lady residing at Gloucester , and having also been concerned in various other robberies . Sergeant Brannan . stated that in consequence of repeated complaints of robberies having been recently committed by welldressed men in the vicinity of the City-Toad turnpike , he was directed to reconnoitre there , "ith another officer in plain clothes , on Saturday evening , and while so occupied they saw the prisoners dodging the steps of three l * dies who were walking in front of them . The prisoner GilchriBt had the skirts of his coat expanded , so as to cover his companions , who suddenly stooped forward behind two of the ladies , one of whom instantly turned her head , and the prisoners fell back and retreated
acros the road ; but witness hastened after them , and took them into custody . Miu Moy then stated that on Saturday afternoon she was passing down the City-road , in the company of a friend , when they were annoyed by the obtrus : ve conduct of a man whom she believed to be the prisoner Gilchrist , whs stared rmlely at them , and continued walking at their side for several yards . They proceedrd quickly on and took refuge in a linen-draper ' s shop , on reaching which she discovered that her purs' " , containing gold and silver to the amount of £ 2 5 s . had been abstracted from her pocket . Mr . Bronghton said that it would be useless to commit the prisoners for trial , as no trace of the stolen property had been discovered , but he should convict them of bein ^ suspected persons freguenting the public streets with intent to commit felony , and commit them to the Jlouse of Correction for three months .
MARYLEBONE . CHAS . GE OS CaCELTT AOilMBT X NaTIOHAI , ScHOOLhastes . —Mr . William Coxhead , master of the National School , Hampstead , was charged with having punished in an excessive degree a little boy namea , John Proctor . Thr summons was granted a few days ago , and at the time of the application for the same being made , the left thigh and lower part of the jouth were in almost a raw state , arising evidently from a most severe flagellation . The young complaisant , who was accompanied by hii father and mother , deposed that on Friday last , in consequence of his laughing at another boy , he was ordered by Kelly , a teacher in the first class , to go into the middle of the school . He did so , when defendant first beat him with the cane and thenflosgedlmmvith theDirch ; he aUo
strurkhim with his fist and knocked him down , and he was for some time senseless . Edward Clements apupilat the school . said , that defendantknick-. dProcter down ¦ with his fist , and fel ' agninfta cupboard . Witness added , "Master gave him the birch as well , and cut apiece of flesh out of his leg . " Mrs . Proctor stated , that when her child came home from school , his stockings which were white when be left to go there , were saturated with Llood , a great deal of which had run down into his shoes . She took him to a surgeon , who said that his head was much injured , and 5 * would probably be some time before he got well . Defe-ndant , in answer to the charge , denied iaring struck the boy with his fistj lie desired him to hold np nishan 3 to reeeire a stripe from the cane , which
was the common mode of puniihrnent for refractory ' pupils ; but he refused to do so , and , on being laid hold of , he in a struggle fell down . He then kicked at him ( defendant ) , and wrested the e . mefirom him , struck him teveral times , having done wLicb he threw the cane as far as he could np the school . He ( defendant ) certainly did "birch" him for hi * misconduct , bathe did notconlider thathehad used anj undue severity . He culled two bays in support of the statement he had made , and they alleged that the use of the 1 irrh was very seldom resorted to . Themagistratorenwrked thata « the evidence adduced wasofa conflicting n-iiure , he should not decide the matter himtdF , and ordered defendant to or . tcr into his own recognisance to appear at the Sessions in the event of the boy ' s father thinking fit to indict him .

The family consisted of aman , wife , and six children , of whom the deceased was the eldest but one . The deceased was firet taken ill with a bowel complaint , about three weeks ago , and since then another of the children had bern . attacks'J with the same complaint . The deceased died on Sunday last . The Coroner—What do von snppo » e was the cause of the child ' i death ! Witntss—More from want than from anything else . This child , and all the others , . is well as the father and mother , were more than half naked . All that they had to rest upon was a sack of fl ^ ck , thrown in one corner of the rnoia . The father used to sit up while the child , now dead , ] . iy oil this bundle . It was there that it died .
The Coroner—When did be first apply for any assistance ! Witness — Some weeks a ~ o , when he came out of the hospital , he applied to Mr .

She said that the distress of the husband comminced when his tools were burnt in the fire at Slaney " in SkinnerVstreet , Bisbops-ate-street . He had then j nst come out of St . Bartholomew ' s Ho-ipital , and his losses bj the fire made Mm Ul again . He was compelled to part with his furniture , and even to his wife ' s and children ' s clothes , to support his femily . He would not stoop to beg assistance , but livedin hope of being better from day to day , until at last he was reduced bo low that he Ktt ashamed to show himsalf .
The pariah surg « nn , said the deceased was suffering from an attack of diarrnfccea brought on by want of proper clothing and nourishment . This was th < s cause of her death , which took place on Sunday .

The Coroner placed some gold in the hand of Mrs . aley , and directed her to use it as best she could to relieve the sufferings of the family .

evening , a serious disturbance was created in llij-ustreet by a large body of the 1 st Regiment of Life Guards , in consequence , as it was stated , of a man named Cbippenfield , the proprietor of one of the booths containing wonderful pigs , boa-constrictor ? , crocodile ? , &c ., having "insulted" one of their comrades in the afternoon bv telling Mm , when he had paid his 2 d . for admission , that he would hare to go without " bacca" for a 7 ? eek . Shortly after nine o ' clock , a large body ef the soldiers came into the fair , between 100 and 200 , although not more than about twenty were engaged in the riot , the reBt merely looking on . They commenced by dragging away the flight of wooden steps leading into the booth , which they entirely demolished . The soldiers
next dragged away the whole of the platform in front of the bootli ; in doing which the wife of the proprietor , Mrs . Chinpenfield , foil through upon the stones beneath , and was considerably iijurcd . Jlr . Chippenfield addrersea the soldiers from a projecting piece remaining of the platform , begging them to desi' -t , as he had a wife ami large family de ; endant . uiwMhiin for support , and humbly apoloolj-inu for anything he might have said to have dv n them oflvnee in the early part of the day . The work of destruction , however , still proceeded ; the ] arge cani Yuss painting on tlie outside being ; torn , after an attempt had been made to upset the von . The lamed pig got loose , and that the crocodile had a v ^ ry narrow escape during the « wfie , which lasted f jr nearly half an hour . Many persons , some ef -whom were women , -who were standing in the ilighstreet at the time , git knocked shout and severely injured . The proprietor of the exhibition had his
hands severely scalded by the upsetting of the boiling oil which was burning in jars on the platform at the time of the attack . Mr . B ' unt , oue ' of the bavough magistrates , was in the Digh ^ trcet during a { . orat part of the riot ; ; but from the large body of the Life Guards who were present , it was judged inexpedient for the police to interfere , who would assuredly Lave been overpowered . A picket arrived from the cavalry barraefe a little before len o ' clock , int not until the .= ff . tir was at an cud and the ringleaders had diwersed . A 3 soon as the work of demolition had fcfen completed , the proprietor of the booth , addressing the soldiers , said , ' 2 Cow , I hope , gentlemen , you are all satisfied . " To which the leader of the emeute replied , " 0 yes , we are quite satisfied , you shan ' t have ; any more ' tuppences' to-Bight , that we have taken ( 3— good care of ; so good night , old fellow . " The mob then left , and the exhibition closed . SSThe statement of the fanatical attempt to destroy Lord Basse ' s telescope , ( turns out to be a fab ication . _ ^ 1 __

THE CASE OF W . S . ELLIS . 10 THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHKRN STAR . You will doubtless remember that in the course of last month , a poor butrespectable man of this neighbourhood , named Nott , was through the almost unparrellod machination of an artful designing girl of 14 years of . age , named Evan , unjustly sentenced to three months imprisonment and hard labour , but through the exertions of an active officer , Sergeant Harris , K , it was subsequently discovered that the poor man was perfectly innocent , and the infamy of the girl made manifest . In consequence of the animadversions of the humane Editor of the Morniny Advertiser , public sympathy has been canvassed , and the Home Secretary induced to liberate tlie man . Now in this no one rejoices more than myself , uml it shows what can be effected by that mest powerful engine , the public press when properly directed ; but
when the innocence of others imprison * d , and expatriated from all they hel 4 dear in this world , aud still suffered to drag on in chains , and misery , I am grieved to think that no public spirited editor , ( with one exct j t ' on } has yet been found to call the attention of the authorities , or the public to these ever to be regretted occurrtneus , I . will instance one whose guiltlessness is at apparent ae the sun at noon day , viz ., W . S . Ellis , who was banished for 21 years ; it is a well known fact , ttntt that nobleminded man was convicted by subuorned and perjured testimony , this can be proved , yet with the single excel ; i i ) o the Northern Star , every journal has been silent on tliis never-to-be-lbrgotttn streich of jud ; c al power , miiMi .
class jury injustice , and hired government evidence . Surely , Sir , means could be adopted to make the world acquainted with this case . I believe Sir 6 . Grey is a humane man , and an honour to his class , let him ltnow the particulars , and I doubt not the result . Recollect ; o-i Ellis is in captivity , and his poor wife and children reduced to the most d-piornble state of dusdtution ami misery , and all who have hearts cannot fail to sympathise with the misfortunes of this once haupy family . Trusting you will make known to the public through the mtdium of the Star , the true position of William Ellis , and family . I am , your ' 9 , &c ,
J . Shaw . 21 , Glouce : ter-strett . Commercial-road , East . [ We have before now advised the course which we think should be pursued to obtain the restoration ot Mr . Ellis . The witnesses of his innocence are in he Potteries ; his friends in the Potteries , therefore , should , 1 st , lorm themselves into a Committee ; 2 nd , Procure the written evidence ef parties who can prove upon oath the innocence of Ellis ; 3 rd , Print this evidence , and endeavour to procure its publication in the Staffordshire and London Journals ; i , Memoralisc the Queen through the Home Secretary , the memoral embodying the exculpatory evidence ; 5 th , Collect subscriptions in aid of the
above labours , and also for the purpose of sending a delegation to London ; Lastly , ( other means failing , ) send a delegation to London , including the witnesses who are in a position J to prove Ellis ' s innocence , to bring the case under the consideration of the Httne Secretary , the delegation placing themselves under the direction of Mr . Duncombe , or some other member or members of Parliament , disposed to aid in good work . When the friends of Mr . Ellis in the Potteries commence action , they may hope for assistance elsewhere ; but until they move , notlfin-: effectual can be done for the exile ; although much ought to be done for his family , and would be , if tin-London Victim Committee found proper support . — Ed .

Farre , senior physician to lungs College Hospital , who was recently appointed hytuVPoorr-kw Commissioners to accompany Mr . Hall , the AssistiinfCcmmissioner , to St . 1 'a . icras workhouse , and inspect the oakum-room , the females '" shed , " and other places appropriated to the " refractory" paupers , has furnished his report to the Poor-law Commissioners . He declares the sleeping apartments of the workhouse to be inconveniently crowded , some ot the rooms being so full of beds that they touch each other . Of the well-known " shed" he remarks : " The term ' shed' by which this room appears to be familiarly designated , does not seem to have been applied to il in consequence of any peculiarity in its construction , as it does not in this respect differ from other rooms
in the house . But the work which is now carried cm in this room , having been at one period conducted under a shed , the name has been retained , although the place of work has been long since changed . Of the dietary Dr . Fiirre says , " In reference to the two points relating to diet upon which I am to give my opinion , namely as to the sufficiency of she diet provided for the class termed'refractory , ' as specified in the table sent , and also to its sufficiency , when the allowance of meat is withheld , audjhalf a pound of potatoes substituted for it for the period of a week , which , under certain circumstances , is stated to be the prsctice uf the workhouse , 1 think , wiili reference to the first point , that the dietary is sufficient , except in the allowance of meat , which is onethird less than on the ordinnay diet of the house .
without the substitution of any other article for it . I think this permanent reduction in ( . he allowance ol meat for the oakum wards is objectionable , and 1 would recommend that either the proportion should be increased , or more bread be su bstituted for it . In regard to the second point , I think the entire withdrawal jof meat for a week from the dietary of the oakum ward , as at present constituted , and the substitution of half a pound of [ otatoea , renders the diet too little sustaining ; but I think if more bread were added , the alteration would not then be objectionable of full growth and good health for the period mertioned . " The Commissioners have addressed the St . Pencras guardians in a manner which is clearly expressive of disapproval of their conduct to the poor under their charge .
Stratagems in Law , —The Mettle Cauchom relates that a huissier ot the district of Caux hud , a few days back , to an-est a debtor . He perceived him standing at Ills shop door , but in order to enter the dwelling and seize him here he required -the presence of a ji'S ^ p : * ix - if h ° wont for that functionary , ihe debtor might hear of the matter in the meantime , and escape . Tin- huissier , in consequence , went boldly up to the window , and , snatching up a bowl of golden fish , made off . Tim debtor , not suspecting anything , rsn nftcr him , and soon overtook him . Then the position of the two men were reversed , as the huissier being at lull liberty to act in the public street , turned on his pursuer , and , to his great astonishment , arrested him .

STATE OF TRADE . Leeds . —Our markets at the Cloth balls wore dull both on Saturday and Tuesday . The merchants continue to purchase only for their present wants . Prices are about thu same ; there are a few orders and for Spanish stripes for the India and China marJu'f , but with this exception the foreign houses are doing little . Manchester , Friday Evcnimj . —We arc not in any way improved since last Tuesday in our Cloth Market ; indeed it is difficult to obtain the rates current a fortnight ago , though the manufactures have to contend with a further advance on the staple . Our home trade is again worse . Y « rns are justsuleable at present rates , and that is nil thnt nnn ha cuiil
Bhadford , Thursday . —There is a full supply of wool in our market . Tlie spinners still buy only for immediate use , and prices are very firm , ns stocks cannot be replaced at lower rates , the producers hold so hard . The yarn trade , both in demand pnd price , is steady ; tho spinners are , however , not spinning so much to order as they were a fortnight since , and are shortening the hours oflabour . We regret that a great number of woolcombers are out of employment . This is in a great measure on account of machinery for combing being so much employed . We can report no variation in tbe piece trade . Coloured Orleans , merinos , paramattas , and dnmasks are severally in good request . Prices are stationary . Huddersfield , Tue = day . — There have been more buyers in the market to-day than for several weeks past , and consequently there has been an improvement in the sules . Nevertheless purchases arc made with the greatest caution , as there seems to be an entire absence of specu . lation . The goods chiefly in demand are heavy tweeds , beavers , and such as are suitable for tbe winter season . There is but little animation in the wool market , the slackness of the past few weeks having made a considerable drawback on the staplers .
Halifax , Saturday , —We ar-.- sorry that no real improvement can yet be . noticed in the general state of this mnrVet ; the demand is alike dull for cither wool or ma « nufactured goods and prices not very firm . Rochdaxe Feannet , Mabkk ^ , Monday , — There is no favourable change for the better in the flannel market to report this week . Tlie price of woolis nearly stationary , and tlie demand remains limited . Nottingham . —Lace : The accounts from Leipsic , as to the sale of bobbin . net goods , are favourable . This market is in a quiet state , but a fair amount of business is doing in the execution of orders on hand . Prices remain as at our last , both for nets and yarns . The American tariff , which comes into operation early in Decemberlaj-9
, additional duty of five per cent , on cotton lace , which it operates to reduce the cost of some other kinds of cotton manufactures from thirty to fifty per cent , when imported into the United State * . This will be for a time unfavourable for the consumption , in that mnrlset , of our very coarsest kinds of bobbin-net , hitherto used extensively there . —We have no alteration to report in this branch of industry beyond the statement that the prices of yarna have again advanced in price , and a further advance is looked for , which has had the effect of causing buyers to look rather sharp about them , as being unwilling to in » cur the risk of a rise in the price of goods , which must inevitably take place when the present diminished stocks are exhausted .
LEicEsusn . —Business has been very flat this week . Few buyers have been in the market , and those only fo very limited quantities . The manufacturers here who supply the London and i . fanchester wholesale houses report that the demand has not been so dull in this early month of the season for some yean .

RENEWED AGITATION FOR THE TENHOURS' BILL . TIIE FACTORY-IONG AGAIN IN THE FIELD ! From the resolutions given below , it will be seen that the short-time delegates have resolved to open , what we trust will prove the last triumphant campaign for the a'tainment of the Ten Hours' Bill . It will b » seen that the delegates have invited the cooperation of their former trusty champion . RtIchard Oastler , Esq ., the factory-workers "King . * We understand that Mr . Oastler has nobly con- '
sented to forsake his retirement , and again take his stand upon the platform , as the unrivalled advocate of the rights of the factory-workers . Mr . Oastler will be in Huddersfield , and will address the first nf a series of meetings , on Tuesday week next , November 10 th . He will spend three weeks in Yorkshire , taking part at three meetings weekly , after which he probably will visit Lancashire , and may extend his tour to Scotland . This announcement will be all-sufficient to arouse our northern readers , who will be prepared to give the Factory King that hearty welcome which he , and the holy cause he advocates , so well deserves .
TEN HOURS' BILL . A meeting of delegates from the Short Time Committce 3 of the West Rid ' ng of Yorkshire , was held on Monday , at the Royal Hotel , Brighouse ; Mr . J . Rawson , chairman of the Yorkshire Central Committee , in the chair ; when the following resolutions were unanimouely agreed to : — 1 . That i t appears desirable to this meeting of delegates that a course of public meetings should be holden in the manufacturing towns of the West Riding , to permit another expression of public opinion on the Ten Hours ' question ; and to show the government that the mill operatives have not abated in their ardour and determination to seeure a legislative ten hour regulation for the young and female portion of the factory-workers .
2 . That as it is probable that Parliament willassem . ble in the ensuing month of November , such public meetings should be arranged for without delay , so that the honourable member charged with' the conduct of the Ten Hours' Bill through Parliament may feel bis hands strengthened at the outset of what we fondly hope is to be ihe last parliamentary campaign . 3 . That , to enable John 'Fielden , Esq ., M . P ., to state to the House of Commons thv unchanged opinion and unabated determination of the factory hands never to rest until they net the Ten Hours Bill , itis desirable that he should attend the said meetings , to '' sea with bis own eyes and h « ar with his own ears , " and for that purposehe be hereby invited to accede to our request .
4 . Thatthis meeting of delegates , knowing of thestrong desire that exists in the manufacturing districts to bold council once more with the originator of the present ten hours' movement , Richard Oastler , Esq ., and believing that it would conduce materially to the success of the Ten Hours ' cause , if the factory workers had that ge « . tlemen among them on this occasion , it be resolved to invite him to attend the said meetings ; and that tbe Secre . tary be instructed to communicate the wish of the delegates to Messrs . Fielden and Oastler , and arrange for their convenience , 5 . That tbe Secretary be instructed to communicate with each committee as to tbe time of their respective public meeting , when he has communicated with Messrs . Fielden and Oastler .
G . That the best thanks of this meeting are due and hereby tendered to Lord Ashley for Mr admirable 1-tter to the recent meeting in Bradford attended by Lord Morpeih ; and for his conduct in declining to attend on that occassion , when the measure to which he is devoted was . excluded from discussion or comment . 7 . That tb e thanks of this meeting aro also hereby tendered to Mr . William Walker , of Bradford , for his very proper bearing and conduct on the same occasion . 8 . That while this meeting hails tbe efforts made at Bradford , under the auspices of Dr . Scoresby and Lord Morpeth , to ameliorate the social condition of the female
f »' . ory workers , as one deserving every encouragement , and as indicative of a far different feeling on this subject than obtained at the commencement of tbe ten-hoursagitation ? yet the delegates regret tlrnt the promoters of the said movement did not add ' short time ) to their praiseworthy objects ; for withoui time to instruct and enjoy , all means of instruction and enjoyment are comparatively worthless . C . MEAKiN . Sutton in Ashfield . — "We would have given the notice of the " death , " but you have not stated the nnme of the deceased . Send name and age . A Youno Chabtist , Linlithgow . —We don't remember the communication you speak of .
