NEWCASTLE . A letter was received" from Mr . &Coaaoi t on Saturday , p . il , stating that he would address a pablio meeting , &t eight o ' clock that evening , and , notwithstanding the short space allowed to announce the meeting , all the seats in the lecture room , Nelson-street , ( which can comfortably seat 1 , 500 , ) was completely filled . A few minutes after eight , Mr . O'Connor , preceded by the Glass House Band , with hundreds of go&d men and irue , - arrived at the lectcre-rooa , whtre he was hailed by the most deafening peals of cheering we ever heard . Mr . Cabcthsrs was unanimousl y called to the chair , flT ) f i briisfl . y opened tl » yaoooodiBga toy introducing Mr . Sisci ^ jb , who presented an address from the Chartists of . Newcastle : after which
Mr . O'Connor arose , and thanked them for that address , and said ( hat he oonsidered the confidence expressed therein was more than a sufficient remuneration for all he suffered for the cause of liberty ; and he looked upon it as an esraest ot what he might expect in fature . On the incarceration of himself and his brother Chartists , plain Johu Campbell declared he bad consigned Chartism to a premature grave , instead of which he had seen so many dezDonstzathmB of the people ' s attachment to Chartism since bis libcratioa from his fivicg grave , into which he had been entombed for sixteen months , that he was convinced' that the cin . se of Caartkm had mightily progressed . The first National Petition had cost £ 9 , 000 in getting up , and had oaly
some 1 . 200 , 000 signatures , whereas the- National Petition of 1 S 41 was an expenoe of only- £ 87 , and had upwards of 2 , 000 , 000 signatures ; and he had no doubt , when the country is properly agitated , thai the present petition will exceed 4 , 000 . 000 signature ? . Some might ask him what was the cause of this progression 1 Ke would answer at once , the general national distress , not local , as some had falsely represented , for many of our modern political economists argue that there must be periodical distress in ectte localities of all commercial nations . He ( Mr . O'C . ) was a practical agriculturist , and knew that this island was capable of producing a sufficieaey to support a population of 120 . 000 , 00 . 0 beings , instead of 27 . 000 , 000 ( its present population . )
Formerly the land had been let into small farms , of from ten to fifteen or twenty acres . Thes ^ , however , had been united by the landlords into large farms , which were let for less thaa the same quantity of ground , kt iuto small plots , would bring them . The reason for tnLs is obvious . You are aware that by the law of primogeniture , the oldest son inherits a'l hi 3 father ' s tit ' es and estates . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) Kow , there may be BSVen or eight moie of the &miiy , aua thess nave all to be provided for , theii resources therefore are the army , the n » v / , tiie church , snd tie learned professions ; but that is not all , for they may also have families to be provided for from the same » outc 8 . Thus you see the interest of the aristocracy for kiting the land in this way , that they
may have a House of Commons subservient to their wkbes . Soppose that by letting out their lands in small portions , they could realise £ 15 . , 0 * 00 more rent ; yet by hvring tfee disposal of the army , navy , the church , the le&msd profession , the local authority , in short , if by having the disposal of all places of tru ^ they can pocket £ 250 , 000 , 000 a year , you see how great profilers they are . This is the reason -why Inera are so Io-w £ s o tenasts-at will , foi you are aw&re that they are enfraachised by the Reform BilL This is the reason ¦ whj lands are sow let into farms of from three , four , or flve hundred acres , tfw landlord knowing right well that all sueh occupants must vote as they please , and give them a House of Comm < ms to promote their interests , for so long as property is represented instead of
the people , tbe owners of that property is sure to have the ascsDdancy . Tee same objection is equally applicable to HowwhoW SnS&age , for its advocates won'd bare one dfeflnitiaa to * " hoaae" wij « a agltotiag this subject amongst > oa , asd another for " house , " when pretending to pan it inte a law , which iroald render it equally nnsvailabte to the people , as they did the humbug of the Reform B 3 L And , agaia , if by aeddent Household SaSagz dMOld beeome the lav , the landlords sooner than be thwarted by the occupants of houses , would pull down half of iha bouses now standing—house building woold become a thing almost unkaovn , -whtsh would render meehaniu requisite for the erection of bouses entirely superfluous , with the exception of a few labourer * , who might be employed in pulling dows sneb bouses as were erected before the houses became
frofi- ftnrhtwuli £ Tnimha ^ tm ides h" existed , tfesi the interests of the shopkeeper aad the manufacturers aie identified . Ko idea could be Bore preposterous , for manufacturers live by production—the shopkeepers by consumption ; thus you seetiie more produced and the less paid for that prodactaos , the more profit to the maaufaotaw . Bst it i » the very opposite with the shopkeeper , for as he depeads upon the consumption , the less paid for laboar , the tea the labourer can consume , and , aa » necessary eonseqB « aee , his income is reduced , for it is well known that when work is dnU the shop keepers are poor , and , on the contrary , when trade it bisk , the shopkeepers can make fortunes -,
bnt let me show 70 a , In another inrtanoe , the power of the mannfastarer , and the effect of class-legislation Suppose a mansbctorer , far instance , has £ 2 , 000 less profit , aad has ose thousand men employed receiving 15 s . a week , he tells them he cannot afford to pa ; them as jnuch as before , sad he reduces them to 13 a weekly ; so that by the reduction of 2 s . in each of their wages , he draws £ 5 , 200 a year , and instead of being £ 2 , 000 out of pocket , by the dulness of trade , he actually pocketi £ 8 , 200 out of the price of labour .

OUR BIRTH DAY . With the present number cbmtoenoes" the fifth ¦ volume of the Northern Star . It is usual , at the occurrence of such epochu to take retrospective and prospective views of the position occupied by a journal , and ita party . "We have no room for the task , pleasing as might be its execution . The fair form of Chartism , which at our birth was but indistinctly to be traced amid the chaos of the conflicting elements of party and of crotchetmongering sections , has now grown out into such large proportions , that
our great difficulty is to steal from It even this 1 inch of room' on our sheet to point to the fact ; to point to those fair proportions as , in great part , the result of our cwn watchfulness and care ; to point to our past , as an earnest of our future career ; and to renew onr covenant with the people , requiring from them , as a duty , to continue to uphold us in the performance of our great duties towards them . This they have hitherto done , and nobly : we doubt not that they will henceforth do so , because we know that they are just ; and we require them to desert us the moment we desert principle .

THE NATIONAL PETITION . Ws must now pipe all hands ; every man must be on deck and perform his duty ; as we must shortly cast anchor alongside St . Stephens , and give another , and , we trust , a more " telling" broadside from our guns , ( which are now better manned ) than on any previous expedition . The enemy ' s ship is now in a shattered condition , and ought Ipng ago to have been laid in ordinary , if not completely broken
np . However , notwithstanding her erazy condition , the foe seem still determined to keep her hi active service . The old crew have paid themselpe * off , and she is now manned by another who in appearance are more warlike but who are in fact as imbecile and cowardly as their predecessors . This is well known ; therefore their ferocious aspect aad ballyiag tone will excite no fear among onr men , who , we are persuaded , only require the word of command to rouse them to duty .
Our Admiral has been recently inspecting ma men in the North , and from the favourable report he has given us of their spirit and determination , we think all is right in that quarter . Now we call all to be up and deing , and lose not a moment in preparing for the coming contest . Let all evince a spirit of emulation , and shew that no obstacle whatever shall cool their courage or diminish their zeal in the cause of universal
freedom-We have seen the firmness of our Chartist brethren evinced in the opposition given to the minions of corruption , who have traversed the length and breadth of the land to create division in our ranks . Hypocrisy and sophistry have intruded into our assemblies and been expelled , oovered with merited disgrace ; brute force has raised its blood-stained arm against the adherents of our causo while in peaceful pursuit , of the general interest ; and this monster has been compelled to make an inglorious retreat . From thi 3 we augur that our men are well-disciplined and that we shall go on from conquering to conquer , and that every attack will place us more firmly on the vantage ground .
We must now come to close quarters with our antagonists , and , casting aside all their assumed commisseration for existingdistress , and all their hollow promises of attention to the condition of the people , pin them down to the only remedy for the evils of the state—the adoption of the principles embodied in the People ' s Charter . We have had quantum svfficit of professions and promises . We can no longer repose confidence in faction . We demand equal justice for * lli and from this demand we will not , cannot , swerve .
Chartists , you have before you that admirable document , the National Petition , which does unspeakable honour to your Executive , and casta the lauded compositions of our college-bred legislators into the shade . It is the production , not of mere theorists , but of practical men , and its every line bears the stamp cf equity and truth . It has been submitted to your consideration ; it has been the subject of deliberation at your various gatherings ; it ha 3 met with your unanimous approval , and we now feel it our duty to call upon you to consummate the work so ably begun .
Hitherto the Executive have nobly , zealously and faithfully discharged their duty , and now you , individually must , and we believe will , perform yours . Let every member of the National Charter Association take the affair into his own hands , as though the fate of the Petition depended entirely on his own individual exertions . Let him take a copy of the petition , with sheets for signatures , to his own home , and at each leisure hour ( and alas ! too many of
you have too many such hour *) vis . t his neighbour ' s houses and obtain their signatures . Not a street , lane , or alley must be neglected . Bat mind , let every signature attached to the petition be genuine . We know that ** Plagua" petitions have merged from private manufactories ; bat we want no fictitious names attaching to our petition ; we have more than the required number of sterling Chartists , and the names of such are now ail we require . Up then ! and the
FOUR BULLIONS will soon be in array to the terror « f earth ' s proud tyrants . Yes , the effect of this your petition will be gall and wormwood to all the despots of the earth , and it will elate the drooping spirits of every slave under their fell dominion . A great responsibility rests upon the Chartist missionaries at the present juncture . The effect 0 /
their industry must now be made manifest by the number of signatures procured in the field of their labours . They have certainly laboured most sedulously in the culture of the minds of the people , and now it may be reasonably expected that the fruit will ba produced . They most labour in its collection . Each must be prepared with petitions and petition sheets , and , ai the conclusion of every lecture , present their sheets to the audience for

FOUB MILLIONS !! That is the number . We must not ¦ have less . We are extremely sorry to learn that in one or two localities a few pragmatical and thin-skinned individuals have become incorporated with the Association , and have recently disturbed the harmony of the meetings , by the introduction of extraneous matter ! the venting of private piques , and the ebullition of anger at every proceeding not squaring with their" own caprice . ; Soeh conduct ought not to be tolerated ; however , as we have good reason for believing that this has been but too frequently the case , we shall , without fear of giving offence , pronounce all parties guilty of Bach conduct hereafter as the
most insuperable stumbling-blocks in our path . Union is our motto and without it we shall continue in our present abject and degraded state . Those who oreate unnecessary broils by the introduction of matter foreign to the declared object of the Association , are its most deadly foes . They are not Chartists , in the strict Bense of the term . They will , we confidently calculate , be found not only lukewarm in the furtherance of the petition ; but actually to throw impediments in the way . Thank God , thiB evil is not wide spread ; yet circumscribed as it is , we must caution our good men and true to be on the alert . Admonish the disturbers , and should they still remain refractory , then tora them over to their friends—the Whigs or Tories .
O'Connor , as you will perceive by the pjeaent number , has "laid" the evil spirit in Scotland . Bhewsteh , is now stripped of his borrowed plumes , and appears to the world In all hU naked deformity ; his race is run , and peace and harmony is restored among oar Scottish ranks . May all such dissemblers be as signally defeated j and the like happy results ensue ! These remarks have reference to bat very few ; and we trust the hint will have the desired effect .
In conclusion , we conjure our friends to bo firm , vigilant , and determined , and let no artifice of the enemy divert them from the speedy preparation of the National Petition for 1842 . Remember that mow is the time for work : ALL mast work , and we most hare , at least , FOUR MILLIONS !

THE MASONS' STRIKE . We have received , in reference to this subject , the following letter from the Chairman of the operative masons of the metropolis : —
" TO THB EDITOR OF THE N 0 B . TH . BBX STAB . ** o , Mason-sti-cot , iiambeth . Oct . 31 at , 1841 . " Dear Sib , —I find in your columns of Saturday a letter , purporting to come from a Mr . Watts , containing certain allegations which , in my opinion , ought to oe corrected , as they are not strictly true . " Now , Mr . Editor , the masons never made any complaint as a body in reference to the Star , as you inserted every article which they forwarded to yon . The body of masons had no desire to make their strike an editorial squabble : all they asked from the London press and from you was full and fair insertion , as Messrs . Grissell and Peto publicly
denied those charges which the masons had made privately to them . " There are , amongst the turn-outs , men of all opinion ? , religious and political ; therefore the public will see this is not a strike of the petition-carriers , but of all . With respect to the statement that twenty-four of the masons have relinquished the Star , I do not believe it . I have a higher opinion of their jndgment and good sense , and being continually amongst them , I never heard one individual say he would give it up . I , as an individual , am indign&ntrat the conduct of Mr . Watts , in sending forth this libel on our discrimination . " Hoping you will give this insertion in your next , in order that the public mind may be disabused .
" I beg to subscribe myself , " Your obedient humble servant " And constant reader , " Robert Macdonald . " P . S . —One word relative to the strike which still continues , but which I doubt not will be brought to a speedy and succesfal termination . Already have the trades of London subscribed nearly £ 400 , and the Scottish Association voted us £ 500 ; thus the public will see , that the sons of Scotia , and our English fellow-tradeBmen , in conjunction with the simultaneous meetings , and our invaluable institution , will ultimately secure a speedy victory . H R . M . »
We perceive that Mr . Allbn , the foreman at the New Houses of Parliament , has put forth in the Sun newspaper , a denial of the various charges made against him by the men . If Mr . Allen's character of himself be genuine , he is a most meek and godlike personage , much injured and calumniated ; but he must adduce better evidence of his innocenoe of the disgusting crimes charged on him , than his own denial in the Sun newspaper , before he can persuade us in the country to believe that a large body of men would sacrifice the comforts and convenience 0 / employment in opposition to him . We are borne out in thiB view of the ease by the following letter from the masons' body , published in the Evening ' s Sun of the same day as Allen ' s denial of the charge : — u CHALLENGE TO MR . ALLEN , FOREMAN OP
THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT . " TO THE EDITOB OF THB SUN . w , —Finding in the morning edition of The Sun this day a letter from Mr . Allen , denying the charge made against him on Friday ni ght at the Crown and Anchor , we beS leave , through the medium of your journal , to again ohallenge Mr . Allen to come forward and prove that thesa charges are not true . We are willing to submit the case to arbitration , and Mr . Allen can bring all the evidence
that he can produoe that the charges are false . Wow , Sir , it is quite clear that to submit the case to arbitration is the only just means that can be adopted to prove the truth or fallacy of those charges . If Mr Allen be innocent , he need not shrink from pnblio investigation . ii , rSr ^ i J wwfi ? * 0 aofle P * this challenge , the publio will at once be convinced that the eharges brought against him cannot be refuted . * " bigned , on behalf of the Operative Masons , * Robkhx M'Doium ) , Chairman .
We perfectly accede to the opinion that , if Mr . Aueh does not accept the ohaUenge , it is because he feels conscious that the charges against him cannot be refuted . We weuld impress open all the trades throughout the whole empire that this is no trifling matter . It is a trial of the spirit and determination of the workmen which will decide their future fate ; and if they suffer the masons of Loadon to be beaten in this struggle , they must expect , and will deserve , to have like modes of tyranny developed in every trade and every place through the whole country . Let there be no apathy then ; let enrj workman consider himself deeply i tt « sted , aud lay his shoulder firmly to the wheel-

Petition sheets , of good strong paper , ruled in four columns , and holding two hundred names when filled , may also be had , price 2 d . each . Secretaries and persons who need them have only to send an order addressed to Mr . If , enclosing a post-office order , or stamps , to the amount , and they may have sent to their address any number they require , on pointing out the best and cheapest route . The Petition and . sheets may also be had from Mr , Cleave , London : and Mr . Heywood , Manchester .. ' ; But in all cases the money
must be sent in advance—the price being so low as to preclude credit . £ S » We would call the especial notice of the Lancaand Yorkshire friends to the above notice . From what appears in another place , they will see tha t Mr . O Connor intends to visit them during the next fortnight ; and it will be well for each town tobe well supplied with sheets for signatures . We must have the 4 , 000 , 000 ! * » * The friends at Glasgow had belter arrange for the supply of Scotland with sheets and Petitiotu . If the other towns would communicate with the f riends in ' . Glasgow as to the number each will require , they could have them from Leeds to Glasgow in one bundle , and then distribute them as occasion served . We commend this to a Glasgow Committee , and our Scottish friends generally .

Exchange of Lecturers . —A correspondent writes — "' There is one plan which I have for some time meditated on , and which would , I apprehend , be beneficial to all parties : it is this : —If six separate districts could be farmed , which I believe is already done , and could agree amongst themselves to exchange their lecturers every six weeks . The six lecturers taking their turns in rotation , would thus be thirty weeks , or rather more than half a year , absent from any one district . Fewer than six districts might thus form ; but the more the better . Each lecturer has his own peculiar
method of expressing his ideas . Some are humourous ; others grave : some argumentative ; ethers declamatory . It is the same with their hearers : hente the good arising from exchange . All would be pleased and satisfied , and all instructed in the way most agreeable to his natural disposition . North Lancashire is desirous of acting upon this plan , and earnestly solicits the attention of the already-formed districts to a due consideration thereof . It was found to act well in the exchange between Afessrs . liairstozc and Leach , two of out ablest lecturers , and could not fait to be equally advantageous on a more extended scale . Should any district be agreeable to an immediate exchange of their lecturer with
North Lancashire , they can do so by communicating to Wm . Beesity , chair-maker , Abbeystreet , Accrington . " Mb . Cleave has received , 8 * . 6 rf . per Mrs .

John Haigh , of Little Horton , near Bradford , writes us a simple , touching story of distress , the consequence of tyranny . He has been a labourer at Horton sixteen years , and brought up a family in honourable independence , having had no parish assistance , save once , about three years ago , when lying on a sick bed . Being a Chartist , he has
been proscribed , and unable to find any employment of any description since last Easter . This forcedhim in the long runto apply tothe Guardians , " who relieved'him for three or four weeks , and then forced him , his wife , and three children from the house that sheltered them , on a stormy , rainy day , driving them to Huddersfield , whence they had again to travel on foot to Cumberworth , eighteen miles , whence they were again sent by the Guardians to Kirkheaton , and ultimately again driven out and returned to Horton . This worthy and industrious man , with his family , must now either starve and die , beg and go to prison , or rob and be transported , as the overseer of Horton declares that he will "be rid of the d——4 CharHsL" The Moraine
Chronicle excuses the peculation qf £ 200 , 000 in the Exchequer Office on the plea that the thiefwas inadequately remunerated for his labour . JVhat excuse toou / rf the Morning Chronicle offer for John Haigh if he should walk home , some fine day , with as much provision as would support hit family for a week ? There is an old adage which says , "The sauce for a goose should be sauce for a gander . " We hope the Chronicle does not intend toconfine its extenuating doctrine to iheExohequer Office : { fso , t * is most unjust . But if it is to apply also to the hundreds of thousands of inadequately remunerated labourers , we shall have less objection ; and we have no doubt that they will cry wit , * A Daniel come to judgment ! ' We advise John Haigh , however , not to act upon the Chronicle ' s suggestion .

On Tuesday evening , a large muster of the " workies" was had in the Music Hall , to hear their friend and champion detail the glorious triumphs of Chartism during his tour in the North . Mr . O'Connor ' s visit was quite unexpected . He "dropped on us" all at once . There was no time for either preparation or arrangement , as he only came into Leeds on Monday evening . The placards were therefore only posted on Tuesday . Notwithstanding , hdweyer , this want of notice , and notwithstanding that a money impost was necessarily laid upon the people , for the defrayingof expetiees , the Saloon ot tne Music Hall was filled ; riot to overflowing , but as full as it oontd be
to be comfortable ; with the hardy " sonalof toil waiting to hear the words of instruction from their beloved chief . Wben we entered the hall , a little before eight o ' clock , O'Connor was just coming in , and the cheers reverberated through and through the building as if the very roof should crack . After the cheering had somewhat subsided , Mr . Westlake vaa , on the motion of Mr . Andrew Gardner , anahimously called to the chair . The Chairman opened the meeting in a few brief and appropriate observations - and then introduced Sir . O'Connor to the meeting . The cheering again prevented him , for some time , from being able to proceed . At length , however , he got leave to epeak , and in his usual strain of overpowering eloquence , castigated both factions for
above two hoars . We shall not attempt an outline of the speech . Suffice It that withering sarcasm , keen reproof , and well directed inveetive , were not more freely and deservedly lavished on the props and pillars of corruption , than were the just powers of description and deduction employed in demonstrating to the people from all passing circumstances the improved position and prospects of the Chartist cause . Much interest was excited by his glowing description of the * B 0 bet enthusiasm" of the Scottish Chartists , and the ignominious and disgraceful rout of Brewster , the state priest . We have not often heard a more fierce barst of execration than followed on his mention of the filthy local organ la irhich O'Brien was last week described as having come
upon the platform at Hodderefield drunk , and no mistake r At the eoncluaion of Mr .

, HJSED 8 . —The ; Committee jbr tWb'Briea . Press Fnnd ¦ met last Saturday evening , when it was resolved that a notice should be sent to all the Char * - '] tist papers requesting all who hold monies collected . for the above purpose to be kind enough to send them to the Siar-offioe , on or before Deo . 1 st , when they ' . will be handed over to Mr . Brook , Secretary ti the . Committee , and by him to Mr . O'Connor ^ ' account . Resolved further , ia accordance with an arrangement Of the Committee with Mr . O'Brien , ' ' that Mr . O'Connor be requested to pay to Mr . O'Brien , or his order ; thtr money ! whenever It shall have accumulated to the sum of £ 20 . '
[ In reference to this resolution , the Clerk at this office begs to request that the respective , sums be . ' , sent at once to "Mr . Brook , secretary to the com" mitlee , " es it is quite unnecessary that they should pass through two hands previous to their reaching Mr , O'Connor ; and as he ( the Clerk ) has already a great amount of labour imposed upon him in attending , gratuitously , to the many funds and subscriptions sent to this office '; the . people will , therefore ote that whatever monies are subscribed for the O'Brien Press Fund must be sent at oiuse to "Mr * Brook , secretarp to tt *
committee , and by him to Mr . O'Connor . * We hope this arrangement will be > strictly attended to , that no person may have unnecessary trouble . —Ed ] Death from Destitution . —On Friday , the 29 th ult . A man applied at the workhouse for relief , and after waiting three hours , be was told that there were so many cases before him , he could not be heard that night ; he had better go nome and come again on Wednesday . He said if I get no relief before Wednesday , I shall want none ; and the man died on Sunday evening , and was buried on Wednesday , Ought not some inquiry to be made into these pro ceedingst
Lbeds Winter Faib . —This fair commenced o Monday morning . The show of horses was as usual miserable , there not being a decent tar of any sort to be seen . The beast market was almost as bad , A man , an adept at knavery , contrived , on Monday forenoon , to sell two beasts , which did not belong to him , for £ 32 , and having got the money he bolted . The unlucky purchaser , on attempting to drive away his bargain , was stopped by the real owner ; the seller has not been since heard of . The statutes , on Tuesday , were well attended by both mate and female servants , and we ' believe many succeeded in getting hired ; the demand for good
servants being equal to what it has been for sons time . In the pleasure fair there was amusement ia abundance . The chief attraction , however , waa WombweU ' s collection of wild beasts but besides Womb well ' s there were two or three smaller col lections . . There were great crowds to look at them outside ; but we have not heard that they had ttj of them any extra Buoeeas . As usual , the pick pockets were in attendance , and sundry handkerchiefs and other articles changed pocket ? . We hire not heard of any very extensive transactions in this line , the police being on the alert , by whom seven ! practitioners were seized and looked up .

BRADFORD . —Important to Voters . —0 a the 23 rd ultimo , an action was tried in the Honour Court of Pontefraot , brought by Mr . Timplby Ingham , auctioneer , &c . against John Robson , Ja i n objector general on behalf of the Whigs , for _ compensation for loss of time in attending the Revising Barristers ' Court for this borough , at great inconvenience to sustain his vote ; the objection being waived immediately on the plaintiff presenting himself to support his qualification . The case , whicfl occupied the Court » considerable time , \ ras cobduoted by Mr . Clarkson and defended by Mr . CrpS 6 ley . It appeared that nearly three hundred objections had been indiscriminately made by the Whigs , and in the case of Mr . Ingham without any inquiry by the defendant as to the propriety of thel
objections ; he was informed that compensatioa would be claimed unless the objections were withdrawn previously to the Court day . Mr . Marshall , the Judge , took time to consider of this hovel case , and on Monday last delivered judgment in favour of the plaintiff , being of opinion that he had dearly made out a case calling for damages . Horton . — -Highway Robbbrt . —As Mr . John Hardy , farmer , of Little Horton , was returning home late on Saturday night last , was robbed of twelve pounds and a few shillings ; the money belonged to a lodge , the Independent Order of Gardeners , held at the Black Horse Inn .
