KEIGHLEY Reppge ,-o * ihe Dbsti-W $ ~~ AUP * Petty Sessions , held last week , before William Ellis and Frederick Greenwood , Enquires , a woman was brought np charged with the enme of begging , after being ordered out of the town . Like most persons in similar situations , she presented an appearance of extreme poYerty . On Sugden stating the nature of her crime , Mr . EiJis , who acts as presiding magistrate , began to question her in his nsnal kind and aymp&thwne manner abont the cause of her poverty , and the place of her settlement . The woman , who appeared to excite general pity , gave a Tery artless QCQUttt of herself . Sh& said that her same was Ann Wilson , and that she came from Preston , in Lancashire , although her natire
town was Glossop , in Derbyshire ; that the had wrought nearly all her life in cotton factories , but through being thrown out of employment , was under the necessity of either begging , stealing , or starving . Well , my good woman , said the humane magistrate , if we should let yon go at this time , woald you promise UJ th&t yon would go straight home to yonr parish , and neter beg again . She assured him , with many thanks for his kindness , that if they would only liberate her , she would do so . Sugden , the constable , who was standing by her side all the Jime , thinking that the magistrates intended to do as they said in good earnest , and that he would : consequently lose the twenty-five shillings he had in prospect for carrying her to Wakefield , drew their worship ' s attention to her shoes and stockingB , whioh , together with the rest of her dreas ,
he represented as being in the most deplorable condition . His timely hint had the desired effect . Mr . Ellis theo asked her what money she had about her to take her home with ! On her replying none at all ; well , then , said the kind-hearted magistrate , J ' ou have proved , by your own confession , that if we et yon go at this time , you will commence begging again , for the means of support , while on your way home , and , therefore , we cannot let yon go . The two magistrates , after consulting together abont a minnte , ordered her to be committed to Wakefield House of Correction for fourteen days . The principal objection urged by the magistrates , againBt her being setat liberty , was , that Bhe had no money to carry her home with , and to remedy this , they sent her to prison , whence she would be discharged , after a fortnight ' s punishment , in exactly the same situation , without money , besides being at a greater
distance from home . Catching a Tartar . —Last week , a curate employed at the Bingley Parish Church took a walk on Dusinees as far as Callingworth and neighbourhood , to ascertain the feelings of his flock about establishing a Chapel of Ease , in the Odd FeilowB ' Hall , at the above place . lu the course ot his ramble he came to a small hamlet called Bycroft , and walked into a poor man's house to interrogate the family on the subject . The man was in the jjarden at the time , and after allowing him a sufficient opportunity to question his wife , thought he would walk in and have a little conversation with the gentleman himself . After pursuing the usual compliment , the husband brought out a testament and read
a portion in praise of charity , after which , he asked him if he thought the establishment to which he belonged , and which swallowed up the sum of ten millions annually , had anything to do with that virtue . The curate gave no answer , but looked at the fire . He then asked him several questions about the consistency of Christian ministers supporting oppression and tyranny , and wished to know his opinion about the People ' s Charter . The curate still continued dumb , looking at the fire . Hearing some person weaving above , and wishing to draw his unpleasant visit to a close , he desired the good man to invite the person down , as he always made it a rule to finish off a visit by offering up a short family prayer . The man , who was a thorough Chartist , told him he would grant his request , upon condition that ho
would pray for the Charter to become the law of the land , and that right speedily , and that the Lord would bless and support O'Connor , Frost , Williams , and Jones , and all the suffering Chartists now in prison for advocating the cause of truth and justice . He the curate took bold of his hat , and the man , thinking he was going to commence without agreeing to the stipulation , said , bow I tell you , if you ; pray hers , you shall pray for Feargus O'Connor i and all the others , and mention their names dis- ' tinctly . The curate , however , made to the door , ! bidding him good day , and the man returned the j compliment , by telling him , that he was very far from the character of a genuine Christian minister . BA&NSXiE' ? . —On Monday last , Mrs . Booth , of Baker ' s-street , was fonnd dead in her bed , though she did not complain of any illness on Sunday
evening . Mitchell . —The friends of Mitchell , who has been condemned to execution , have got up a petition , praying for a commutation of his sentence . OVE 3 TDEZ 7 a—Ordeb of the Peaceful Dote —On Monday last , the Honourable Order cf the Peaceful Dove , of the Halifax district , opened a new Lodge , at the house of Mr . Tidswell , the Golden Fleece Inn , Bradshaw Lane , Ovenden , when twenty-four healthy-looking men were initiated into the Order , and all of them seemed quite pleased . The name of the Lodge is " Tital Spark . " A good and substantial supper was provided by the host and hostess of the house , to which fare the party did ample justice .
BURY . —Yesterday week , as some boys were playing on the bank of the reservoir , near Bury , the son of a man of the name of James Livesey , in the pay of the rich , desired the boys to go away . The boy 3 refused ; and upon their doiDg so , James Livesey , the son , proceeded home ( a distance of one huiidred yards or more ) , and in a few moments returned with a sort of stick , and very deliberately plunged it into the breast of one of the boys , of the name of Thomas Birtwistle , of Bell-lane , near Bury . The boy dropped , to all appearance , lifeless on the ground : he was conveyed home in the night . Surgical aid was quickly procured , and the boy
pronounced to be in imminent danger of his life . He has since recovered , but what has Livesey been done with ? What does the reader think ? Was he committed to take his trial at the Assizes ? No , ke was not . Why , what then ! He was brought before the sitting magistrates , E . Grandy , E-q . and others ; and , in consequence of his father beiDg a favourite of the rich , he was allowed to compromise the matter , while it was distinctly sworn by three or four ' of the boys , that the stick had a dag ^ gr in it . This is either a gross violation of the law , or the law is an outrage on the British people , and shews the necessity for a change in the administration of justice . —Correspondent .
CHOEiTON-UPON-MEDLOCK-Bhl tal Assault bt Two Policema . n . —A . person of the name of Edward Helen had , it appears , been with one of his brother Odd Fellows , paying their devotions to Bacchus , until a late hour on tne 10 . h inst .. when Helen ' s wife came to take him home ; they thought tcey would call upon a friend in Fountainstreet ; consequently they knocked at the door , when instantly tivo policemen , M'Koon and Davies , who happened to be on the other side of the road , came , and without ceremony struck Helen ' s wife , who had a child in her arm 3 . Of course the husband could Eot brook this , and therefore remonstrated with them npon the impropriety of thk brutality , but these disturbers , instead of protectors of the peace , resumed their barbarity by beating the husband with their heavy bludgeons ; indeed they not only beat
him , but they also took him and confined him in the lock-up . His wife very naturally followed , and implored them to release her husband , but instead of so doing , they immediately locked her and her child up Iikewi 5 e ; during all this time , the unfortunate man was bleeding profusely , insomuch that these hirelings deemed it necessary for their own safety to take kim to the infirmary . After he had been examined by the surgeon , he was taken back and placed in " durance vile . " Both were liberated next day , yet the man was so dreadfully abused by these aforesaid night guardians that , to all appearance , he cannot possibly recover . He has been duly attended to by two surgeons , who have done all in their power to restore the dying man . He is constantly in a state of insensibility , and the bad smell which arises from him is beyond description .
OTAKSFHHiD . —Few hamlets now-a-days escape being cursed with a village despot , and but few are more tyrannized over than we are , as the following case of oppression will most clearly Ehow ;—The rurals , not being able to find a job , owing to the sober habits of the people , are doing all they can to excite the inhabitants to a breach of the peace : the working classes here are not allowed to stand in the street to speak to each other , while a set of idle drones are continua lly lounging abont our streets . During the late storm , Iwo poor men , who were out of employment , whose miserable homes and starving families compelled them to go into the Market-place to see if they could procure a job , to enable them to get some food for themselves and families , while
they were standing on the causeway , one of the pen d ' armes came up , and ordered them off ; and for not complying with the orders of this minion they were summoned before the magistrates , who , in the exerciie of their nigh prerogative , fined them five shillings each and expences . If they had been Bent to prison there and then , the poor fellows would not have complained , for it would have saved them many a hungry belly ; but not so , they were left to starve until the storm was gone , and they had get to work , when they were dragged from their farnUies , ana consigned to the felons' dnngeon , and their poor
wives and children are left starving , aud would not even be allowed parish relief , whilst , the collective wisdom at St . Stephens are babbling about an iriBh fortification Bill to keep the French out . The autocrats and their mercenaries are doing all they can to drive the people of England to desperation ; but there is a point at which hup jan endurance is no longer bearable : and when tb e bow does break , woe to ths tyrants and oppressor s of the poor . The people of Mansfield have com / aenced a subscription for the families of these pc Or men . A subscription book is open at Mr . F «> nton's , Temperance Hotel , Stockwell-gate . —Corre spondent .

The defendant gave utterance to a long tirade of grievous faults and misdoings , which he said bis wife was guilty of , and which appeared very plausible till contradicted by his wife , whose statements , backed by the evidence of the overseer , completely changed the colour of the case . The poor creature , while citing the ill usage to whioh she was
subject at the hands of her huSband , was so overcome by grief and weakness of body ,- that she swooned , and it was Bome time before she could be restored . The magistrates gave the fellow a severe reprimand , and ordered him to allow his wife , who had left home , 4 s . per week , and to pay 10 s . present expences , and that he should give up the whole of her clothes into the hands of the constable for her own use , and also intimated that if he should be brought there again , he would have to find heavy bond to keep the peace for twelve months , or be imprisoned the whfle in the House of Correction .

Coubt of Requests . —During the year 1840 , no Ies 3 than 6 , 000 summonses have been issued in this Court—an immense number for the period .
Water Works . —In the Bill intended to be enacted during the present session of Parliament , for supplying the town with water , it is stated that the undertaking will require . £ 44 , 000 to complete it , and it is proposed to raise it in 2 , 200 shares of £ 10 each . It is proposed that the following rates for the water shall not be exceeded : —The occupiers of houses under £ 20 a-year , to be supplied at a rate per centum per annum not exceeding £ 7 10 s . ; houses under £ 40 a-year , £ 7 ; under £ 60 , at £ 6 10 s . ; under £ 80 , £ 6 ; and under £ 100 , at £ 5 10 s . per centum per annum .
Bradford Court House . —Caution to Overlookers . —On Wednesday last , Smith Greenwood , overlooker to Messrs . Pearson , Bradford Moor , was brought up before the sitting magistrates , charged with ill using Mary Hoyle , a youug woman employed in the same factory ; the magistrates gave him a severe reprimand , and , it being the first offence , he was fined in the mitigated penalty of 5 s . and costs . MACCLESF 1 EU 5 . —The Corn Law repealers of this town have been put to a very miserable shift . On Sunday , the 14 th of March , the infant scholars belonging to the Primitive Methodists ' Sunday School , were actually compelled to sign a petition for the repeal of the Corn Law , and the teachers , male and female , signed for those who cou'd not writ their names .
SUNDSHZtANS . —Tailors' Strike . —Tnis intelligent and patriotic body of men have not yet got the dispute settled with their masters , or rather with those three or four masters in Sunderland , who have conspired to crush the Society , and bring down the condition of the workmen ; but we are glad to state that there is not the slightest disposition upon the part of the men to submit to this : to avoid it , many have left the town , their wives and families being supported most liberally by those in employment . The majority of the masters having
made no abatement , and being , in fact , opposed to the mean conduct of the few great employers , who have exhibited so much-littleness of soul , there is no doubt that the men will succeed in their efforts to resist the proposed profit-huntiDg reduction . The men are reluctant to appeal for aid , although they have ever been amongst the first to render it ; but we trust that the spirit which has dictated this reluctance will be rightly appreciated by their brethren , a&d elicit that spontaneous support which they so well deserve .
BINQLEYi—Public Meeting on the New Poob Law—A public meeting , in compliance with a requisition , was convened at this place , to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament , for the repeal of this obnoxious measure ; or that otherwise the power might be vested in the Guardians , instead of the Poor Law Commissioners . The meeting was called for the 20 th instaut , at two o ' clock , at which very few persons were present . After some time , it was moved and seconded that Mr . Farrand do take ihe chair , which he immediately did , without waiting for the consent of those assembled . After some remarks , expressive of his regret that the meeting was not more numerously attended , the Chairman sat down , and Mr . Tipping , a working man , requested permission to address the chair , which was refused , with the remark , that ho would not be heard at all ; it was not his turn . Some high words passed between the parties , Mr .
T . not feeling disposed to beput down , and the chairman talking about commuting him to the care of the constable , and finding that to be of nou-effect he talked a # ain of instituting a Jaw suit . All would not do ; ilr . T . intimated that he cared as . little for his law , as he did for himself . A resolution vvas moved and seconded , to which Mr . Tipping moved an amendment , but the chairman refused to put it , but said the mover mJKht second auy of the resolutions proposed , and address the meeting , which , of course , he refused to do on such conditions . The object of Mr . T . was to Hel Iho meeting adjourned to a time when the workpeople could attend , but this was evidently contrary to the design of the patriots who had convened the meeting . The Chairman , if he expects to become popular , must manage his public conduct in rather a more courteous spirit than that which he evinced at the above meeting .

My Friends , —I am very reluctantly compelled ts reiumti you , or tho .-e of you who are purchasers of the Star , that it is impossible for me to be able to send you papers unless 1 receive pay for them . I now want between £ 40 and £ 50 from various parties for the Star , supplied amongst the collieries , a sum of money which a moment ' s reflection must satisfy you , I eannot and ought not to be required to want Without any prospect of gain , nay , with the certainty of some less , Mr . Binns aud myself have continued to send the Star through ail your districts , by means which ensured it to you in the most remote districts , with promptitude , regularity , and no additional eost The commission of to
^ d . allowed agents , tbe carriage of parcels , -which we always pay , the loss by miscarriage which will occasionally happen , and the returned papers whien we have hitherto , necessarily absorb all profit ; but when in addition to this we are required to go frequently from home , at considerable expence and sacrifice of time , to collect the money due to us , end too frequently cannot get that , it is " really too bad , " a »< f must be mended Several of the agents have been most punctual , others not so , thoBe blame jo «» for not paying them ; if this be the result ot negligence , I trust that this ( Ample and painful statement will lead to reform . You must know that Mr .
O'Connor cannot publish the Star unless the agents pay punctually ; the latter cannot do this unless you do so also ; therefore the publication and prosperity of that unequalled organ of your wants and interests depends upon yourselves . Remember that no agent can get the portrait from tbe office u nless arrears be paid , ner can you expect them to be delivered until you likewise do your duty . Should this not be done , I Bhall be compelled , in some cases , to stop the papers , but hope that these hints and statements will render th&t unnecessary . I am , yours faithfully , J . WILLIAMS .

PETITION OF THE BIRMINGHAM CHRISTIAN CHARTIST CHURCH , FOR THE RELEASE OF MR . H . HETHERINGTON .
To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland , in Parliament assembled , The Petition of the Members of the Christian Chartist Church , Birmingham , Hombly Shewbth , —That your petitioners view with regret and indignation the imprisonment of Mr . Henry Hetherington , upon the charge of publishing blasphemous letters . They had Hoped that the a # e of intolerant persecution , for opinion ' s sake , had long gone by . Your petitioners highly disapprove of the matter contained in the letters , but they have full confidence in . the intrinsic excellence of the principles of Christianity , and of their complete power to gain an entrance into every heart ; and , therefore , they
feel indignant at the assumption that these principles require any assistance from the Government , or that those wao believe not in them should be persecuted . Your petitioners fear nothing from the opposition of infidelity , unless it be the practical infidelity of those , who , for "filthy lucre ' s sake , " profess to be the friends Of religion . They believe that reason and kindness are the only weapons which Christianity requires for its defence ; and that the iron hand of vindictive law must injure it in the eyes of the ignorant and unbelieving , since it forces into existence a character that , under any cause , commands esteem , and sympathy—viz . a martyr . They cannot but feel deep sorrow that the " powers that be" are so wanting in the true "faith , as to
conceive that a religion of truth r « quires the aid of the dungeon to protect ifc They cannot help seeing a glaring inconsistency in punishiDg the blasphemy contained in a few letters , while a far greater blasphemy is every hour committed in the wars and plunderings of those whose most common words are " Peace , love , and indifference to temporalities . " Your petitioners , therefore , pray , that your Honourable House would memorialise her Majesty , to release the said Henry Hetherington ; and that you will also take immediate steps to abolish all laws inflicting pains and penalties for opinion ' s sake . And your petitioners will ever pray , &o . Signed , on behalf of the Church , John Collins , > paoinra Arthur O'Neil , | Pastors < aassw } " - —•
