attempt of Sir R .

Adjourned Meeting on * the Improvement Bill . —Another adjourned meeting on this subject was held at the Court House , qii Wednesday -evening , at seven o ' clock . Mr , William Roberts presided , and shortly announced to tho meeting that the object of the adjournment was to tako into consideration the Leeds Improvement Bill ; He believed it was the tenth meeting which had been heid upon the subject . Mr . EddiBouja ehort time ago , had gone to London , and had promised to send down a copy Of the Bill in its amended form . That gentleman had done so , and a few persons had looked over tho Bill , but had not come to any conclusion Hpon the subject . It seemed that some blame was attached to him , as
Chairman , in not having called upon the Commissioners to convene the meeting by public placard ; but he thought thatasa committee had been appointed to watch the Bill , it would have been more proper for them to have called on the Commissioners . A resolution was thon proposed to adjourn the meeting , and to TcqueBt the Commissioners to convene another by placard . After this , Mr . Lambert Marshall proposed that a Committee should be appointed , to read over tho varioui clauses of the Leeds Improvement Bill , and that they report their opinions to an adjourned meeting of the Vestry . This was afterwards set aside by an amendment , Umt Mr . Beckwith should read the principal clauses of the
Bill to the meeting . Amonsst the points which appeared most objectionable tp the meeting wasfirst , that portion of the Bill which directed the parishioners to pay one shilling' for the inspection of the Commissioners' accounts . The next was , the clause authorising the Commissioners to borrow a sum of money nov exceeding £ 100 . 000 . Another was that twopence per day should be charged as rent for every square foot of ground let for stalls , < feo . on the market days . But the feature of the Bill which causod the greatest coBSternatioh in the minds of tho meeting was the power given to the Commissioners , besides paying a rate of fourpence in the pound , once a year , to levy
anadditional rate of threepence in the poundywhenever an extra rate was required . And this mi g ht be repeated as often as the Commissioners ^ bought proper . After the various clauses ' .-had been read through , a persoTi who stated that he kept a stall in Vicar ' s Croft , 6 aid that according to the vate of tolls to be levied under the hew Bill , one day ' s toll for a stall would take a week ' s wages to pay for it , or in other words , as the propossd toll was twopence per square foot , or Is . 6 d . per yard , a stall of eight yards would come to 12 a . for one day , or 24 s . for the Tuesday and Saturday markets . He thought therefore , that a mistake had been made in the printing , and that the toll proposed should be twopence per yard , and not twopence per foot , for the former sum was quite enough to pay . - . Mr . Summers then addressed the meeting , and objected to the powers given , to the Commissioners to Clap
on aa many threepenny rates as they ' . might think proper in a year . The market tolls he considered much too heavy , and thought that it would be advisable to ascertain what rates worelevied at Newcastle , Liverpool , and other places where improvements had been effected . But for a man to pay from eight shillings to sixteen shillings a week for tolls in a market was out of all calculation . At the close of the meeting , resolutions were carried , that a committee of iSve should be appointed to examine the Bill , and report upon it . to an adjourned meeting of the inhabitants , to be held at the Courthouse on Monday , the 7 th of July , at seven in the evening . The committee to consist of the foilowirg persons , viz , Mr .. Francis Jackson , Mr . Lambert Marshall , Mr , Jonathan BrayshaWj Mr , Barran , and Mr . Lord . The meeting adjourned at ten o ' clock . '
Shopkeepers' Meeting . —We hear that the shopkeepers of this town have " got up" a requisition to the Mayor not for a public meeting—that they dare not venture upon- ^ but for " a meeting of tradesmen to enable them publicly to make known the unparalleled distress which prevails in this Borough , arid the gradual decay of trade consequent thereon ; and to adopt such measures relative thereto as tnay be deemed advisable , regardless of all party considerations , with a view to avert impending ruin . " The meeting will take place on Wednesday evening next , at six o ' clock . The terms of admission are as follow : each shopkeeper will receive a circular of admission to the meeting , and should any be accidentally omitted , they may be supplied on application at the Court House- .

The Convicts Francis and Cooper . —The day fixed by the Sheriffs for the ^ execution of the two culprits now under sentence of death in Nowgate , is next Monday week , the 4 th of July .

IiEPTON " .-Fancy Weavers * STRiKE .--At a meeting called by placard ,- and held at the Three Crowns Inn , Woodsome Mill , Leptoh , on June 15 th , 1842 , the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :- ^ -is t . That this meeting condemns any violentor illegal proceedings being taken against any of those who have taken work out at the present price . 2 nd .

BeCTTALTKHCMfNITT OF A MoTHEB AT HVDDKRSFiELD . —Seldom indeed have we had a inore painful task to perform than in giving publicity to this case of cruelty in a parent . Mrs . Lucy Malagriai , an Englishwoman married to an Italian teacher of jnusio of that nanw , wis plftced in the

dock in custody of Danson j chief of the police , charged with having , On Friday , the 9 th instant , committed a most violent and brutal assault on the person of her own daughter , a child only ten years of age . Oa that day : the child had been sent by her mother on an errand , but atopping longer than was expected , the mother , on her return ( if mother she can be deemed ) beat her with a cane or stick in so severe a manner that her whole body was literally covered with bruises ; and , from the evidence of Mr . Clarke , surgeon , had some of the blows thus inflicted taken place on the head , death would have certainly ensued . The evidence of a servant , who had lived with the mother , tended to prove other acts of Beverity and cruelty . She had seen her take
a cupful of nrine , and compel the child to drink it , and afterwards break the cup on the child ' s head , and had laid her on the bed with her face downwards , covered with clothes , to prevent her screams being heard , while she was beating her -in that position ; She had seen her beat the child ; frequently ,: Mr . Clarke , surgeon , examined the child , and stated there was not a spot on her body free from bruises , from the head to the feet , and which could only have been done by extreme violence . The manner in which the case became known was that oh MoHday lastthe child had been sent for tome cream ; but hot beiiig able to get any good , and not daring to carry anything inferior borne , she went to the house of Mr . Holliday , Green Sido ,
for better . Mrs .: H . sent out for some , and seeing several marks on tlie child's head and neck—the latter of such a nature as to give her some alarm for the child ' s life—upon questioning her as to the cause , it was with great timidity and reluctance that she admitted that they had been done by her mother ^ ( We may here observe that about a fortnight since the child was going down the street with two Mack eyes . ' ) After a few more questions , it was considered proper to send for tha constables , who , on hearing the statement , and seeing the shocking state of the child , most promptly and properly took her to a magistrate , ( W . W . Battye . Esq . ) who was completely horror-struck , not only at the appearance of the injuries ' , but also from the
general emaciated appearance of the child , and gave immediate Orders for the apprehension and confinement of the unnatural mother , the appearance of the child exciting suspicions that she had been deprived of sufficien t nourishmipnt . The capture of tho mother was not effected without some resistance ; she was , however , locked up for the night , and , as before stated , placed next day at the bar . The child was also placed on the table ,.-and * its bruised and emaciated appearance filled the spectators with horror and detestation . The inhuman wretch in her defence alleged "that her child had been guilty of serious faults , and she had only endeavoured to correct them ; that she had never beat her to hurt her ! and that the child had
sometimes made marks on herself on purpose ! ¦!"( On purpose for what 1 ) The bench , in terms of the most severe reprehension , unanimously expressed their disgust at the inhuman brutality of the prisoner , and told her she was a complete disgrace to herself , toher sex , and to human nature , and unworthy the name of an Englishwoman , and they should inflict the fall penalty of £ 5 , including costs , or commit her to Wakefield for two months . She was then removed in custody , and accompanied by the officers to her lodgings at Mr . Todd ' s , grocer , corner of Ma , caula , y-street , where iFhe quickly produced the money . Her appearance is very prepoKSessing , even genteelvand she was respectably attired , as she moves in a respectable
sphere . As the child has become in so _ ine respects chargeable , the worthy : magistrates issued their order for the payment of 5 s . per Week for her support , Mrs . Holliday undertaking for that sum to keep it and send it to school . Mrs . H- ' s conduct is most humane and praiseworthy . During the hearing , loud vollies Of hissing and other similar demonstrations of disgust issued from all parts of the Hall ( which was crowded to suffocation ) against the unnatural mother , who , if the women outside could have got hold of her , would not have escaped without some severe treatment . So barbarous a case has certainly never in our recollection come before the bench at Huddersfield , and we hope never willagain .

Barker a , hand-loom weaver , residing near tho Fox and Pheasant Inn , on Tuesday last at midnight . The poor woman drowned herself tinder the most painful circumstances .

On Tuesday night she requested her husband to carry home a coat to hia father ' s ; he wauted to send her sister , but she
desired him to go himself , aa he would not be above two minutes . He went and only just left the house when she got out of bed . The sister , a girl about sixteen or seventeen years of age , tried to prevent her , but waa unable . She seized the girl by the hair of her head , and rushed past her into the' Cellar , and plunged head foremost into a well about two and a half yards deep , and nearly full of wator . The sister ran out of the house and gave an alarm . She was got out as soon as possible ^ but she only sobbed once afterwards . She has left two children to lament her unhappy end .

Marianne Brpadbent , who died on the precediflg Tuesday , at the house of her mother , Mrs .

effect" Th&t the deceased came to her death by taking a quantity of whife arsenic { but whether administered by her own hand , or by any other party , there is no evidence to shew . " Fatal Accident . —On the afternoon of Saturday last , as the railway omnibus was leaving Bradford for the Brighouse station , a little girl , named Ellen Riley , aged five years , was ran over in Manchester road , and killed on the spot .

United States . —^ On Thursday morning the British Queen arrived at Cowes from New York , having made the passage in fifteen days . She left on the afternoon of the 7 th inst . and has brought letters and pa pern to that date inclusi ve . Their contents are uot very important . The prevailing opinion at New York is , that Lord Ashburton ' s mission will be brought to a favourable aiid amicable conclusion , though but little iseaid on the subject in the American Journals . The Federal Government has indicated an intention of making 6 ome reduction in the United States navy or at least of not carry ing out the increase which waa resolved tipon some time ago . This is an indication that the pending negotiations are likely to establish a good understanding , and that there is now very little probability Of hostilities between England and America . The American papers are very indignant at the contemplated reduction of their marine .
Murder op a Policeman . —Bristol j June 22 . — Immense excitement has prevailed throughout this city since Monday , in consequence of its being known that a party of Irishmen had attacked some of the police on Sunday , and beaten one of them in so brutal a manner that there was . very little prospect of bis surviving the effects of the ill 4 reatmcnt he had received . The poor man was conveyed to the infirmary , where he received every attention that medical skill could devise , without success ; and , after lingering in intense agony , until yesterday evening , he expired . From the facts elicited upon
the inquest which was proceeding when our report left , it appeared that the injuries from which the deceased met his death were inflicted by a party of Irishmen in an attempt / to rescue a prisoner whom the deceased had ia charge . Hewas firat knocked down by a brick thrown by one of the party , and then beaten , while on theground , by six or seven persons , all armed with bricks , until an accession of force enabled the police to save their comrade from further violence- Six Irishmen , all of whom are positively identified as having been of the party who attacked the deceased , are ia custody .
Loss of an Emigrant SHip . ^ -Letters were on Monday received in the city of the total loss of the emigrant ship Kent , Captain Gardner , on the night of the 8 th of last month , in the Western Ocean , off the Seven Islands , during a heavy snow storm . The vessel , it appears , belonged to Greenock , and was bound for Montreal , having 70 emigrants on board . The disaster , it is said , occurred between 11 and 12 o'clock by the ship running on to a mass of sunken rocks a short distance from the coast . Owing to the severity of the storm which prevailed at the time , fora length of time it was expected that she would fall to pieces . ProvidehtialJy , however , she held together until daybreak , when the whole of the emigrants were safely landed on the coast , though in a most deplorable condition , many of them having lost everything they possessed . The ship was of about 600 tons burden , and is , together with her cargo , reported to be insured .

BHAMLEF , near Leeds . —Ou Monday ! a < 4 , a ; pubifc mcLtiag of the inhabitants was called by the , bellman , to be held in the Lod ^ eRoom of the Barl ey 1 Mow Icn , to consider the propriety of forming a i Local Association in connection with the " new I move" party in Birmingham . The ChartistB in ! Arniley had been invited to take part in the dis-: cussion ; but when the Chairman ( Mr . Rees , Baptist I Minister ) opened the proceedings , he hoped that ; none would lake a part in the business except the members of the Bramley lleform Association , this not being a public meeting of the inhabitant ? , but of that Society ; upon fvhirh , Mr . HoiJiday stated that Jbe had been given to understand that the meeting had been called for public discursion , and if freedom of discus-ion was prevented , he # ave notice that a public meeting would forthvvith be held out of doors , at which he should be happy to meet those gentlemen bv bi-5 side , where both siues of tht- question should
be heard . A motion was . put and carried that full aud free discussion be allowed , but after the adoption of the six point ? of the Charter , npon the motion that the public be invited to become member 3 of this Aasocia . ion , 7 dr . Hollicay again rose to propose , as an ameiidment , that the invitation be , " to join the }> auoual Charter Association , " which amendment ? he Chairman refused to put to the meeting , and refusf .-d also to permit the speaker to stale his reasons for the adoption ot the amendment . Tho great body of the meeting theD adjourned to the open air , and Mr . Holliday addressed them at considerable length on the neciSlity of their joining the National Charter -Association . At the close of his address , h was agreed thai ain-ther mce : ing * hould be held in the same place next Monday , for tee purpose of effecting this c ' uject ; and the meeting broke up , perfectly sati = £ ed of thehonour and honesty oi the " new move " partv in Bramley .
STAI . YBR 1 DGE . —The walls of this town have been placarded , announcing that Mr . Falvey , of > laccle ^ 3 eld , would deliver a lecture upon the Corn and Provision Laws , in the Town Hall , on Tuesday evening last . The placards announcing the lecture wer < j headed A free stage , and no favour" : underneath , iu lar ^ e ty ? e , aa armounceraent was made that a discussion would take place , upon tlie above subjects . As soon as the Chartists of Stdlybridge became acquainted with tbeimemions of the lecturer , ihey appointed a deputation to wait upon the Secretary of theanti-Mouopoly Association , to learn whether Mr . Falvey would forego the lecture , and enter at once into a discussion upon equal terms . After some conversation with that functionary , they
came swsy wirh the understanding that Mr . 1-aivey would give up the lecture , and commence by opening the discussion . Tha Chartists then waited upon Mr . James Leach , of Manchester , a d Mr . John Csmpbtll , Secretary to the Executive ; but they being unable to attend , Mr . Dison , of Manchester , came over in their stead . Upon his arrival , he found that a great number of tickets had been gratuitously distributed among their friends , while those whom they thought were not favourable to their views were compelled to pay one penny for admission into the hall , thus at once setting aside their hypocritical boast of a fair stage and no favour . A few of our Chartist friends , in order that this fact might be proved beyond the
possibility of doubt , waited upon the parties who were authorised to give tickets , and after a variety of questions had beeh asked , tht-y rece ' ved tickets on condition that they supported Mr . Falvey aga i nst the rascally Chartists . Mr . Dixon soon after his arrival waited upon Mr . Fjslvey to make the preliminary arrangements necessary for conducting the business , and was told by Mr . Faivey that he would not enter into discussion unless Mr . Dixon was prepared to defend the pre-ent Corn Laws , by showing thst they were not lajurioui to the country . This , of course , Mr . Dixoc declined , bat challenged Mr . Falvey to prove that their repeal would be so adv ; iu ; 2 £ ceus 10 the country a 3 to bt come the remedy for the m-ny tvils which afflict socety . Mr . Faivey
refused to meet him on those terms , and therefore he ( Mr . Falvey ) was allowed to fulfil his original intention of lecturing . After the usual faLacies put forth by the lickspittles of the League , Mr . Dixon rose and chimed the right of replj hjg to the very shallow arguments adduced by th « lecturer , complete ^ overthrowing the nonsensical absurdities advanced by Mr . F . Mr . Dixon was received with the most vociferous cheeriDg , v > hich proved to the anti now chop fallen monopolist 3 ,. that the Chartists would not allow them to monopolise the brains and intellects of the men of Staley Bridge , but that they were determined to compel them to carry out their do mor . opoir principles imo pub ]; e meeting-, as well as f h ? : r mercantile affairs . Mr . Falvey then again attempted to address the meeting in reply , but was told by the people that if he did , }> lr . Dixon should be agsin heard , if they stopped in the Hall till
the mills commenced work in the morning . Mr . Falvey v ? ould no ; give way , but delivered a long tirade of invective and abuse , appealing , in strong declamatory terms , to the religious prejudices of his countrymen , in order to create a row ; but , thanks to the good seuse of the Chartists , who would not suffer themselves to bo taken by surprise , all his efforts proved abortive . Mr . Dison then concluded by replying to Mr . Falvey , and proving , beyoud doubt , that as class legislation is the cause oi all our misery , so the People ' s Charter becoming a legislative enactment , would raise uo from our present degraded position , and exalt us to the dignity of freemen . The business concluded about one o'clock in the morning , and the people dispersed with three cheers for O'Connor , three for the Welsh patriots , and three for the Rev . William Hill and the Star . Mr- Dixon upon retiring was greeted with the loudest acclamations . —Correspondent .
HALIFAX —A public meeting convened by requisition , was held on Skircoat Moor , on Monday June 27 th , -when from ten to fifteen thousand people where assembled , for the purpose of remonstrating with the legislature and memorial sing the Queen . Mr . O'Connor having been invited to attend arrived in Halifax about half-past eleven o ' clock , for that purpose . The meeting being announced for halfpast two , and Mr . O'Connor having to attend another meeting at Burnley at four , caused some trifling alteration in the arrangements , and for the purpose of giving that gentleman an opportunity of addressing the meeting , the bellman announced that it should take place at iwo instead of bait-past . Having arrhed at xhe Moor , and without waiting one
moment , bir . Bennjamin Raistrick was unanimously called to preside , who at occe introduced Mr O'Connor to the meeting , who waa received with rounds of cheers and clapping of hands . VVhen the cheering had in some measure subsided , Mr . O'Connor commenced by giving an account of his stewardship , as one of the Yorkshire delegates to ihe late Convention , which was received with applause ; his time being limited , he could only take but a very ihort tour through the citadel oi corruption , and concluded by requesting the people to be united , and stand by their Charter , whole aad entire . Mr . O'Connor was repeatedly cheered throughout his short but pithy audress . Ha then took his leave for Burnley , when cheering and
waving of hats continued lor a considerable time . The chairman then called upon Mr . Greenwood to move the first resolution , wnich was seconded by Mr . Clayton , acd ably supported by Mr . Hanson : — " That this meeting views the decision come to by the House of Commons , on May 3 rd , on a petition signed by three millions fivR hundred thousand people , as a gross violation of its duties , and tyranny in the extreme ; this meeting therefore resolves to remonstrate with the Legislature on so unjust and dangerous a decision ; and that this meeting is further of opinion , that we memorialize the' Quetn on d 6 iag justice to a starving aud insulted people , by calling to her councils men who will make the People's Charter the law of the land . " Mr . Shackleton was then called upon to move the remonstrance to the House of Commons , which was seconded by Mr . Crassland , and very ably supported by Mr . John West , in a very convincing aud argumentative
speech , which took upwards of an hour in delivery . Mr . W . Wallace was next called upon to move the memorial to her Majesty , which was seconded by Mr . Edwards , and ably supported by Mr . TaUersal ) , -from Colne , in a very spirited and eloquent speech , which animated the hearts of all present . On the motions being put to the meeting , they were unanimously adopted . A vote of thanks waa then given to F . O'Connor , Esq ., Mr . Pitkeihly , and the remainder of those gentlemen who composed the late Convention , whose unanimity of sentiment , discreet wisdom , and honest integrity , prove them worthy ef the confidence reposed in them ; also to Messrs Dancombe and leader , for the bold , manly , and independent course pursued by them on the introduction of the National Petition to the House of Commons . After a vote of thanks to the chairman , the meeting left the moor , highly delighted with the intellectual feast .
The Hall of Science was engaged for the purpose of hearing a lecture from O'Connor , but having made previous arrangements , of which we were not aware till too late , deprived us of his attendance ; but Messrs . West , Tattersall , and Hobson , the publisher of the Siar ^ very ably effioiated on the occasion .
