5 leep himself ; he was up again at three on Saturday merning and worked till four in the afternoon , be came home quite exhausted and went to bed , and remained there till Monday morning ; the effect of this week literally brokshis heart , so far as Idleston ' s shop was concerned—his body was " stiff" on Monday , soon Tuesday , on the Wednesday he " absconded . " Out of the 18 s . Is . was taken for the " black book , " 2 s . for "tools" ( a shameful charge not recognised by other masters ) , and a shilling or two , * sixpence a dozen" for " looking after him . " Two years ago Wyke was " stiff" one morning , •' could not get up , " and lost a quarter of a day ; he had then been an apprentice two years , and hail never before lost an hour . For this he was taken
into custody , and confined all night in the Bridewell , the magistrates , however , on this occasion * ' forga \ e him . " The lad at this time was growing very fast , too fast for his strength , and was obliged to sleep a little . There is little doubt but that his three months at Kirkdale will be a permanent injury to him . Since the " quarter of a day " absence he has been absent two or three days . If nothing should result from the present petitions . I purpose to present one , from myself , to the House of Lords , and for Wyke ' s mother to present another embodving the foregoing .
The trial of Wyke did not occupy six minntes ; he and Gerrard were not more than a quarter of an hour before the court . Throughout my examination and address Mr . Lyon continually interrupted me to the effect that he had made up his mind , and that my efforts were quite useless .

m O'CONNORVILLE . The dkajrecable duty of carrying ont a very wise and prudent proTision of the late Land Conference has this week devolved npon us . Some of the occupants , regardless of the decision ef the Conference , and without any previous notice to us , arrived at O'Connorrille , when their respective homes were not fully prepared for their reception , and at a time when it was impossible for the Directors so to dissew their labours as to pay a kind of disjointed attention to the wants and situation of s few . Under these circumstances it became our
painful duty to refuse the location of the parties thus looking for premature possession . It would be useless upon our part to characterise the act in harsher terms than mere imprudence , while , had we tolerated it , there would be an end to our controul , and very speedily an end to our occupation . While we are well watched in the discharge oi our flaties , we are resohred that the performance of those duties shall defy reproof . Now , every member will at once see and confess , that acquiescence in a
tetf-willed act of this kind would peril the existence of the Association , as there would be no end to such attempts at premature occupation . The course the directors adopted was this : they despatched Mr . Doyle to O'Connonrille with sufficient cash to transmit the parties to their seTeral hones , an " , however their friends may sympathue , and their tcemiei may rejoice , we beg to remind all , that the act was indispensable , that the duty was imperative , that the resolution of the Conference was decided .

Monday , Lord Denman gave the decision of the court on another important question raised in the celebrated Braintree ehurch . rate case . The judgment was to th » effect , that if a meeting be called fcr the purpose of levying a church-rate , an amendHient that there be no rate is not legal , and cannot be entertained , it being the duty of the meeting to make a rate . If , therefore , the majority refuse a rate , they are to be considsrei as not taking part is the business of the meeting , and the minority may make a rate . In future , then , it will be impracticable absolutely to refuse a rate ; but the object of the opponents will be substantially obtained by proposing a rate too small in amount to be eel-Ucted .

He next reverted to the progress of machinery , the necessity of the workers directing it into its proper channel , namely , to assist themselves in the protection and obtaining food and raiment , concluded in a powerful appeal to union , that drew forth the loud and long continued plaudits of the assembly ; when silence was obtained , the lecturer rose and said , it there was any person wished to be further informed on any point , he would be most happy to answer any question they felt inclined to ask , —a few question ' s were asked and answered to the satisfaction of the meeting , after which , the following resolution was proposed , seconded , and carried unanimously : —
f , D f d tl r t v ' » That we approve of the principles and objects now set furth , and deem it the true intcrejt of the trades of Dundee to joiu forthwith , that the committee do send for rules and prospectuses to supply the trades in this district .

Mr . MiskiH suspecting that there was something wrong in the case , requested one of tho beadles of Lambeth parish to inquire iuto the uircumstunees of the child ' s death , and he ( the beadle ) found that its mother had beon confined in Oakley-street , that the child was removed to Waterloo-road where it died , and on Monday forenoon its mother curried tho body away in a bundle from the lodging of the prisoner , but where she took it to could not be ascertained .

wai unformed that he had quitted the ward without the sanction or knowledge of the medical gentleman under Tfhoie oa « he was placed . Thathe ( Berry ) subsequentl y saw Hardtoway in the neighbourhood where he sustained the i » jury , and in alluding to the subject told that person that he was lo attend that day the rc-aiaminatiou of the man accused with having wounded him . Hardawuy , in reply , expressed his determination not to be present in court , observing that Hill ( the prisonur ) was an old ac quaintanco of hit ) , and although be had inflicted a serious injury upon him , yet that he would not prostcutu him . The policeman added that Ilardnway appeared to be extremely ill , and teemed to walk with Difficulty . Mr . Cottingham , addressing the prisoner , observed that it was miraculous ho did not inlliet a fatal injury on the man Hardaway , it having been stated before him that he thrust three inches of the iron skower into liii bod y , a little above tha left hip . The witnesses , now described that the man was batter , but it was impossible as yet to say with any degree of certainty a » to how it might
terminate . Hu had foolishly quitted the bospitx 1 , where he was under medical care , without the knowledge of the surgeon . Under sucli circumstances , he ( the magistrate , ) could not allow a m : m like the prisoner to escape from the consequences of such an attack as that he made upon his friend vritli a dangerous instrument such as that produced . The prisontr here exclaimed— " But , your worship , I did not intend doing it ; it began in a lark ; he snatchi-d my sprats , that 1 was cooking before the fire , after I warned him not to do it , and by accident afterward * the skewer run into his sido . I am sorry for it . " Mr . Cottingham said that if a medical certificate was procured , describing that no dangerous symptoms were likely to arise , together with the fact of Hardaway ' s disinclination to come forward to prosecute , he ( the magistrate ) might probably be di » , posed to adopt a different courso to that which he fir » t lntondod . He should remand him for a few days , and in the meantimo ho should issue his warrsnt for the apprehension of tho wounded man tiv ivu cvidenco , « 3 he re . fused to come forward when directed to do so . —Tho case was then ordered to stand over .

WORSHIP-STREBT . —Riohard Hill , and Frederick Pield , two hardened-lookiug boys , about fourteen years of age , were on Wednesday placed at the bar before Mr . Bioughton , charged with stealing a numbor of chair * andoiber articles the propsrty of the Rev . Clement Duka and others , trustees of arogged school in Phillips-street , Kingsland-road . Ii appeared from the statement of Mr . Henry Haswell , o » e of th » teachers , that the school in question was opened about six months since , to disseminate the ordinary branches of education and religious instruction amongst the children of tbe poor inhabit-Ullt 8 of that populous district , and that it was only through the greatest forbeurance and perieveracne on the part of those conducting it , th « t the objects of iu foundars had not been entirely frustrated , by tho senseless opposition of many of the unreasoning persons for
whose peculiar benefit alone it had been established . These people had not merely confined themselves to assembling round tha school entrance , as they had been constantly in the habit of doing , and assailing tho wellconducting scholars «¦ they emerged , with the vilest vltuperalion , but ) md also incited the more badly disposed of the pupils to be the most lawless acts of insubordination , which had resulted more than once in person&l violence towards their instructors . Notwithstanding these obstacles , however , the scholars were rapidly progressing , an « l the school produce * » e greatest benefits to tha locality in which it was establiihed , but tha principle upon which it was founded being necessarily to comprise the children of the very lowest classes of society ,
repeated acts of depredation had been committed , which defied all the vigilanco of the teachers to prevent or detuct . Amongst numerous other missing articles , were sovorftl of the candlesticks , and no less than six of the chairs , which were all Bafe in th « schaol-room whtn they were locked up in tho wening , but found tho next morning to have been abstractod from tho premises , which had been broken into during the night ; and information having been received in the course of the inquiries after the property , which strongly implicated the two prisoners , both of whom attended the school , in tho perpetration of the robbery , they had beon given into custody . Mr . Broughton , expressed his intention to commit them for trial , but ordered them to be brought up again next week , for the formal completion of tho evidonce .
