    struck by : b" ftjc ? : ric fl-i - . d , and c au ^ bt fire . A boy who was pasvitsg it the iime , seeing that the woodwork of : he ipire was on fire , immediately ran and acquainted Mr . S : rcet , the parish cltrk , who revues nearly oppesiie tLa church ; snd Mr . Sandy , thebclSrint'er , obtained the keys and hastened to the chut eh . On ascending the belfry , he . discovered , at the top of he spire , iriinediy teiy under the ball , a small portion of fire ; tiiick ' . u ^ from its sI ' tlitappearaEcehe should be able to prevent its spreading , he hasrened down , and hav ; ii £ procured a mop and bucket of water rer . scendsd , aud attempted to extinguish it , but the fire pread with great rapidity . The church is in the old English style ; and the spire , which is composed .. f oak , painted to resemble s ' ates ,. and upwurds of

    ] 00 feet in height , was speedily in a blaze . The parish engine was brought to the spot , aud there being a difficulty in pruCuriTi ^ water , a tank under the church was broken open , as likewise a -welt in the s djoiuine garden of the Hev . Htnry Blunt , the rector . From these sources , a supply of water was obtained . The fUmes by this lira ., obtained such an aseeudeucy , that the efiVtB of the parish engine were quite abortive . A mc .-. se 2 ger on horseback was immediately despatched for assistance to the Wattrloo-road station , and that engine , ( oi ' ovred by the cue from tne Southwark Bridie-road st ^ iiou , under the superin tenUence of Mr . Henderson , and two others , arrived in a very short space of tirce , and an abundant sup ply of water b y this time beiug procured they immediately commcjifed operations , and although great

    jv -srs were at one timo entertained that the whole of the sicred edifice would fail a prey to the devouring clement , by judicious 3 r > -a igemc-nt and great en-. Tgy on the pars of the Fir . ~ B .: gade tlie flaiata were confined t-j the jpirr , which was , however , totally ¦ ie sfrojod . It > ppear 3 that the h ^ hining had beeu auiart'j .

    In the outset , the Editors mistake the character of Fox Stansveld , by treating him as an architect in quest of a scite whereon to build a house for himself ; whereas he is merely in search of a spot on which to erect a temporary habitation for a friend ; ¦ < i . ijd , hence , quite iudiiftreut whether the foundation rest upon a rock or in ihe q- ^ atrrnire . The next bit which we may remark upon is the aversion to " fresh air" evinced by our frien » lc , accustomed to the fog 3 of Brigt : ate . Taey say : — " The country infusion would destroy the vigour ar . d potency of the burgher spirit . " This reminds us ct tha huntsman ' s notion of perfume . A pack oi hounds was ouce running an old game dog-fox

    breast high , ( just as we are running old Roynard , ) when Chvrley happened to cro 58 a very Eiiperb and odoriferous riolet bank ; foma cf the less keen sportsmen stopped to indulge in the perfume , and just as the huntsman came up and found the dogs at fauU , one turned to another aud said . " la ' nt the smell ef these -violets delicious V The impatient hnnt ? min thought the words were addressed to him , and passionately replied , " D—n the violets , I ' ve lost my fine fox through this stink . " We have no objection to the pure country air being infused into the rotten etew-holes of tlunghterhonses ; but it is because Household Suffrage would net infuse any freshness that we or . po-e it .

    T .: e purpose cf the Editors' { rlo ^ ary , cr r&th- ' . r of ths appendix ( for there is an appendix ) , is to refute seme argument * of the Jlformv . g Chronicle in support of the Household Suifn : ge scheme . Allowing that they hare fairly joined issue upon * bad plea any impartial reader mutt unhesitatingly gire judg-

    ment in favour of the Mercury , and agaiu 5 t the Chronicle . In faC , tho disputed question is just thug : —The Mercxny , ia a former table , divided the population into mban and rural districts , taking towns only of a certain number- of inhabitants , —in fact , Parliamentary towns , —as the urban and aJI others a 3 rural population ; and deducing thence that twenty-seven per cent , of tho whole populatioa iiad sixty-one per cent , of the whole representation . Without Btopping to inquire to which side an alteration would lean , we denounced this monopoly as unjust in principle and vicious iu practice .

    • ' But , " say the Chronicle aad Fox Staksfeld , mistaking " the Editors '" mistakes " yon have omitted ihe small towns , not borough or Parliamentary districts , the addition of which would balance the parties . " " No , " say the Editors , " they are the mera Rus in urbe ; they are only the ruffle , while you would make them the back , belly , aud sides of the shirt . " Tuese urban rustics , say " the Editors" , are under the primary dominion of the landlords , of whom a majority areTories ; and under the secondary mfluouca of a rural community , for whom they work , and with whom they trade , and wfcose interests are anti-commercial . A ^ ain , say " the Editors " , you

    must take your scheme as a whole ; and ycur redistribution of electoral districts would make the small towns but a selvage to the Tory mantle . O ! no , no ; say the Chronicle aud Stansfeld ; because , in case of each district beiag inoculated with urbicityi it would turn the scale , and give to the urbans a preponderance . Well , rejoin the Editors , if so , you must first prove in case your districts return two members each , ( and iu which case the constituency would amount to about seventy-three thousand , ) thav four thousand constitutes a ma jority of seventy-three thousand . Now this is giving the adversary tho best end of the stick ;

    because it allows the whole four thousand to be 111 favour of a repeal of tho Corn Law ? , which , after all , is the catut belli . This is the whole of the argument worth noticing ; and , throughout , the belligtreuts have made the slight mistake of taking old tablea of houses , as if the landlords ' , in case of the enfranchisement of houses , wero . going to allow them all to stand . If we thought that the scheme would so operate as to ect the agricultural interests favourably to ihe general iuterttt , » i the expenco of the sinks , and heils , and stews , wo should say well aud good . But

    i : \ voald merely throw the making of laws i 7 ito the h'mrfs of the Tories , by the Mercury ' s showing ; aid as we know that exclusive dealing in laud is jibsoiutfc ' iy requisite for the preservation of cxclmive dealing iu siuecures and pensions , for that rcawu itself , the transfer would b « ii . jurioup ; inasmuch as it would lock up the poor , and for ever , from "the vigorous niul potent country air , " which our friends appear to dread a * a plague . Of course , our readers are tot to suppose that " the Editors ' have put the question y \>* . as plainly as we have put it , but we l . arc stated the diitt of the argument .

    N'jw , ii " iho Editors" hadseeu the last protocol of tne GruntUilc , th-y would have applied all the arguments of that redoubtable journal , —as we have elsewhere dotie , —as an extinguisher to Repeal ; not to the support of Household Suffrage , as a subntantivo measure , but as a means of preserving " peace , law , and order" in Downing-street , until Uruniicle sl . a ' . l be summoned to the Upper House , or otherwise distinguished for his efficient support of the Whi ^ s , and which could not be effected ii' a cha ; . s ; e touk place , and which mu 9 t be iu consequence of O'Con . xell being kept up to the Repeal

    Cvilar . But Grunlicle need not fear . Dan ' s consisieucy won ' t stand in tha way oi" any schemer ' s prointtii-u . It never did yet . Ho will jib like a gitrron , as soon as ever ho comes to our side of tho w . t ; cr . Upon the whole , then , as between Grua-( icle aid Jim Crot $ t we hive no hcsLta ; ion iu g ring judgineut in favour of tho latlc .- , while we ~ ha : l be mu .-t anxious to hear how " Mother O ' cot , $ " will hLs at the new discharge . But , as we lore fair-play , and as we are in favour

    of the Prisoners' Counsel iJiiJ , we mast apprsc the culprits that the Old Fox has stoleu a . march by having pustponed his glossary till last week ; as by thut m a :: s Fox Sta . nspeld must reply ou -the nh ; th , and then the Mercury will let fly his whole stock of fire-works on the Mxtctuth , which wiil be tiie ia-: t publication day be ! yre the battle of the * 21 ft ; and by this mcaiib the Mercury will have the kst word , which , but lor generalship , would have fallen to tho lot of poor deluded Fox Stansfi-ld .

    Now , at parting , one word of advice we must , and will , oiler . It is this : —We implore Fox Stansp ' eld to ci / mjrund his next dose himielf , and n . t allow the D ^ cor to mix the drugs ; for , really , we are tired of opium , and pray for au exiuHratiug draught , if Si'ak .-fkld has such a thii / g in his medicine-chtfct .

    extensive and common good to the whole United Kingdom . " Now , that ' s from the Chronicle , the Morning Chronicle , the most corrupt and worstconduoted paper , without exception , in England ! and mark the THUS , and its bearing upon the whole sentence . But , first , this artiole accuses Daw of being either a fool or a Tory . The Chronicle says the repeal agitation is a diversion in favour of Toryism . Now , as we swear Daw is no fool , we christen him Tery ; but we have done eo before .

    Five per cent ., we stated , would warp Dan s conscience any way . Yes , ho is the best-Datured soul on earth when engaged in controversy with that thing called conscience . Well , then , Dan is a Tory ; and ia speaking of the Leeds move tne Gfimticldsays that the repeal question may be THUS righteously smothered : THUS making a more repeal extingcisher of the Fox aud Goose Club . Do anything , saya Chron . to keep Dak up , the Whigs in , the Tories out , and the people back , till I am—Lord knows what .

    We have now disposed of the boasted allies of the Fox and Goose Club , save and except the Morning Advertiser , which none but Licensed Victuallers read , and those only when fuddled . Let us now dispose of the several interests opposed to Mother Goose , who assures her readers that her enemiea only consist of about " six omnibuses ' full . " Omnibus is a very comprehensive torua , aud if by it ia meant the whole nation , oi men , women , and children , we migkt join issue upon plea agreed upon . However , wo take things as we fiud them . " Firstly then , on the for- igu con

    necfcion . Dan says , " Who are tou ? " and he represents the repealers . The Ulsters say , " Who are tow I" aud they represent the whole Whig party of Ireland . The Northern Whig Bays , " Who are tou t" and it represents tho party who struggled for Reform , and the party who would really wish to sea the Reform Bill a reality instead of a fir . aluy The Northern Whig represoata " the fine old Irish gantleman , " aud the whole of tho liberal consti tuencies of Ireland . We use tha word liberal in its proper sense ; weapply it to those who will vote iu 1841

    as they have voted iu 1832 , aud not according to tho whimsical acceptation oi' political translators , who would apply it to all who vo ; od with tho rushing enrrent of unsettled ophnon . Tlie Northern Whig is the only liberal paper in Ireland whica may bo said to have a furnished house ; all other * are lodgers , begging house-room from week to week , and asiting their weekly blossin ^ s according to the temper of " mino host ; " and " as mine host" is most , capricious , wo fiud the guests most changeable . Such is the Northern m \ T ! iig ; a black swau among the green goslfugs .

    So much for tho oreigu auxiliaries Now for the domestic trooya : and bugin we with the very household , of which there are four immense squadrons in the vary same garrison with Mother Goose , wlio . no littlo body w ^ k eep to wat ch aud cackla at the approaVj of friend or foo , for uatbr : u-. ia . oly , y < yw . y nnowj n > diffjrouoe . Lst us then begiu : —Tiio Leeds Mercury represents the whole body of the Dissenters of Leeds , which is the hca 1 quarters of national diaagrcomeut ; it represents a largo majority of tho Whig coD . s ' . ituout body of the borougli of Leeds and of the county of York ; it

    represents nine-tenths , whether Whig or Tory , oi therii-h oppressors of a'l England ; it represents the Ministers ; it represents twenty-four columns weekly of the advertising community—and , in passing , we may be allowed to observe t ! at , with poor Mother Goose ,, this is tho real " casus belli , ' however , tho Household question may have been mado tho ostensible motive ; tVr . 3 is kicking at ; a astthe pricks , as men who havo storied to tell seldom cWinit them to dummies . The Leeds Mercury also represents the Town Council ot" Leeds . Su much for the Mercury . Now for tho

    InUlligencer . Tho Intelligencer is , out of all comparison , the ablest of ail Tory provincial papers ; it represents the landed interest of Yorkshire , aud tho Borcugli T \> ry interest of Leeds- ; it represents tho political ( ouin ^ B , as tho Mercury docs the commercial iociin-s , of thegr-H .. - » t mass ot Tory voters . Next comes the Moral U ' osld , which represents the Socialists , and whose creed in anything rather than preference for a Pailiuiuentary h-o-u-s-e to inteliociuai ^ nan ; whose wlule object , aim , aud end is to make society consist of dependant and well arranged links , iust'ad of a mixture oi weak hooks kept by a strung chain together , —the people being tho houks tnoir oppressors tho chain .

    Then come we , oir nublo selves , though . last , not leasr ; aud who do w- represent ? Why no less than nineteen iu cvxry twimy of the whole population of the country . Wo luve thought it thus necessary to apprise . ' u'jih ' . r G ; oso of what she seemed ignorant o-, in order that she may cut her coat acaccordhig to her cloth , and make those " 6 ix omnibuses " of sufficient dimensions for the accommoda lion of her few dissentients on tho 21 st of this proj-eui numti' .. We have thought it right to tiiku this cuia-se of inroining the Northern Whig oi thai , of which Mother Goose feigns i&i ' . vKucc , namely , a knowledge of the existence of any party mlvo the Fox and Goose Club .

    Mother Goose says "Of this at least we can assure th < : Northern Whig , tha . t there is at present uo known body of Reformers at Leeds , not easily comprehensible tviihin the limits of half a dozen omnibuses , that d-KS not coincide in tho principles put forward by tho Leeds Reform Association . " Now wo do uoi Mand Godfathor for comprehensible omnibuses , a- 'iy more than for intellectual houses ; but we think c nave best designated the strength of tho Fox and Go <» se Ciub , by snowing the enemy to consist of ninety-nine and eighty-eight per cent , of the whole community . In fact , tlie enemy is the audience ; fho club the performers rehearsing a play , which will be damned to all eternity upon its revival , with alterations by Mother Goose , and tho Bceuery by Fox Mailsiiall .

    Never was our good frierjd more happy than in designating his opponents as the " omnibus party . " They are so , iu truth . And wo believe our stand of cabs would not bo much tho Ie 3 s if the wholo club wero caught , in a thunder storm in Briggate , and accommodated with a cab each to their h-o u-s-e-s . But Mother Goose , aftur indulging meat copiously in the field of ro-Kiaucc , roams \ v \ to the boundless region of conjecture . In speak' . u % of the Parliameutary bearing of tha qu . stioi ' ., Goosey reminds the Northern Whig that Leeds has another member besides Mr . Baines

    —Sir W . MoLESwortTH ; and then asks who returned him ? aud then asserts that it was their club in 1837 , which was not hatched till the end of 1840 . Funny , funny , fuutvy Goosey ! But , Mother , remember that Moi-uswoiiTH has declared himaclf for Uuivcrc&l SaitVagu , aud that at your first cackle you admitted it ! But ; you wish to reduco him to your level as yon cannot fly to his perch . Geese are not a roosting bird ; and , therefore , you sit on the floor , while the Cocks on the roost crow over you ,

    andsomething more . Lt-t us now make a very brief passing observation upon the probable result of the Club ' s exertions upon any future election at Leeds aad vicinity . cUiNts and Beckett will walk over for Leeda , and ilot . ESWORTU will walk out . Bradford has a clutch of Goslings : there Busfeild and Listp . b make their bow to make way for Thompson and Hakdt . And if Halifax atirs or hatches a single bird , out go Charley Wood and Nkd Pbothshob , and in walk a Radical and Tory .

    By the way let us a 3 k why the Gallant Colonel ' s letters were put in "leader" type , and leaded , till Daniel ' s appeared , and then the b » st Radicjtl of his clas 3 iu Europe was nurched backward iuto the rear rank , covered in front by the jugglor , aud fl-iuked by old jokes ; changed into iittio nonpareil , to ba kept out of sight 1 The fafsceing Rads . open the wiudowa of ihe " omnibus" now and then , and can distinguish a pigmy saint from a monster Devil at an immense- distance .

    RICHARD OASTLER . Ix our last we p romised a plan for the release of the rirtuou 3 Oastlkr , the good "Old King , " from tlie tender mercies of the excellent Mr . Tuobnhill . The great value of auy plan must consist in its simplicity . Ours is as follows : —Let the Short Time Committees throughout Lancashire and Yorkshire , and every man to whom the great and indefatigable exortions of Mr . Oastler are known , exert themselves . Lot each committee take a certain district under its management ; and , when the two counties ara divided , let the committees in the respective k'Cilnies appoint two from each committee—that is , divide the committees into twos , and let each two

    fake such route through the district as shall be assigned them by tho General Committee for one week ; let them be succeeded by tho two next in appointment for the office , and let their business be to make arrangements throughout the various districts for tea-parties , to be held upon the nearest holiday—say Shrove Tuesday : mon 9 J ., women , Gd ., aud children 3 d . ; the whole proceeds to go to tho OasUer Fund . The exertions of the committee , and private contributions would , we suppose , furnish ample funds for defraying all expences , and providing the fare , which need not be sumptaous . By this means the fund may be raised easily , and with littlo trouble or expence . If the commutes work , the peoplo will respond ; aud it is thair duty .

    We can only say that our columns will be at their service ; and it" a better plan can be devised we shall i ; ivo it all the publicity aud support in our power . Bui let something be done , and that speedily . The funds , when' collected , should be entrusted to Mr . Pitkethly , of Huddtjrrfield , tho treasurer . Our publisher , Mr . Hobson , will also take charge of any monies sent to him , and hand it over to Mr . PlTKkTIlLY .

    Price of the "Stah" . —In reply to various communications about the raising of the price of the Northern Star tofivepence , on particular occasions , and for particular purposes , we beg to give the foltotcing reasons , once for all , for the course we have taken in obtaining from the Proprietor a pledge that this shall not be done

    again : — Firstly—It is injurious to tlie Proprietor , an the sale uniformly falls , and beyond conception , upon such occasions ; so much so , that it would he a saving to the Proprietor to give most of the money made . Secoxd / y —/ i is unfair to the Agents who sell large numbers , as , although well disposed , they cannot risk their usual supply upon the mere chance of sale , especially as , in many instances ' , poverty compels many to club their pence for a paper . Thirdly —// is unjust to our readers , who are thus compelled , either exclusively to supply the amount , or to do without their paper . Fourthly—It is unjust to many who take our journal , as a patient , in desperate cases , is corncompelled to take poison , because he cannot help it .

    Now such were the reasons which we assigned to the J ' roprieior ; and such were the grounds ju-pon which he acquiesced in our views ; ' and by them tee inu ., t abide . To oua Reporters . — We are now beginning a new year ; und we beg to inform our numerous Reporters that tittle slips of news will not do . We must h-ive all the news , Chartht and general , and it must reach us on Wednesday evening , or Thursday morning ut latest . Our reporting establibhment is , probably , more expensive than any other in the kingdom , with the single

    exception of the " Times . " Perhaps our readers wilt : marvel when informed , on the authority of ( he Proprietor , who pays the money , that " that department alone costs more than £ 5 Q '< iper annum . Norn this is our strength ; and , as we pay , and liberally , for it , we must have it . TheHvnr has wore original matter than any ten papers in the kingdom : ii must be of the best character . Let this suffice . It is our last notice : if any other should be required , it shall be to quit . Mrs . Frost ' s address is 14 , Montpelier Buildings , Bristol ; not Newport , as stated , by mistake , in our last .

    Postage Delivery . —The following questions are from Barnsley : — " What distance from the Postojfice ought tetters to be delivnred without the charge of one penny for delivery 1 "—// depends entirely on usage and circumstances . "I * there any charge , according to Imw , upon delivery of newspapers by the postman ?

    Many op our Corrhspo ^ dests , especially the poetical ones , would do well to read attentively the following rational , common-sense view of a rejected communication , taken by its author : — " J am Quite a new hand at writing for the Press . / never made an attempt until I sent the song beginning with t u Huzza for O'Conncr the brave " a few weeks ego , irhichwas not deemed worthy of insertion .

" This is a rational view of the matter . We can have no

    reason but that of kindness or necessity for excluding the communications of fr iends about whom the on ' y thing we know is the highly creditable fact of their being working men . But though V 9 feel with and for the " order" of blistered hands and unshorn chins , the prigs of fashion , many of whom read our paper , would desire no better amusement than that of tearing to rags the simple and touching , but imperfectly executed , literary productions that are often sent tout .
