FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT , ASD jPBiCULOTJS ESCAPE OF PRARQUS O'CONNOB , PB 1 KCE GEORGE OF CAMBRIDGE , A 2 f » S ETEBA 1 OTHERS . 0 s Monday night last , the down train to Leeds £ & proceeded a 3 far as Masborongh where the gjeffisld train lor Leeds joins it . We are not saffi-^ gj ^ j informed upon the Bnbjeet to say whether gjelonflen train or ihe Sheffield train should arriTe 3 ^ at rise MasboroHgh station 5 but we should
gjppose tie latter , as the distance IB short j be qjX , howeTer , as it may , Ihe point of junction Yff ® g dose to the station , the public has every jjgjit to -expect that the osnal precaution to prevent ^ jQiaons should be observed ; especially when the ^ aace used by both trains does not exceed two hundred yards . Upon the night in question , ihe London train Jhad most fortunately slackened its pace when Bearing the station ; foi just at &e joncnoB , asd as xm& half of the London train l » a passed , it was run into by the Sheffield tain , Ihe York and Darlington carriages were
jjainediately after the engine , the mail department { flowed , and then the Leeds carriages . The engine jad York carriages had passed the point of junc t ion -when the Temainder of ihe train came into fjjrfnl eoffiaon -mti . the Sheffield engine , sad so tremendous was the shock , that the heavy iron tajik bj which the map carriage was attached to fiieleeds carriages was snapped , as if by magic , the £ eeds carriages and mail being pitched completely eft the rails , and to & considerable distance . The j&sengBTS were suddenly loused by the crash jrlich , a 3 we learn , was terrifically aSarming , and ji once made the best of their way to •* terra
fmaT ill . O'Cossos has informed ub thai so close was ihe engine of the Sheffield train to where he sat , flat he could , without beading forward , put his hand upon it , while the head of it was all but in ihe euriige of his Hoys ! "Highness I > rinee George . fits steps of the carriage were torn off * and the Mere of the maO shattered .
Jortunately the collision took place close to the station , where there is a considerable extent of lerel space . The front carriage irent on t © the station , and the passengers for York neither felt the shock or knew anything of the matter until the routed occupants of ihe ether carriages made their appearance and com-EEDced canvassing for seats . After nearly an hour ipeatin a fruitless endeavour to get the mall and lbs Leeds carriages replaced on the rails , the train started for Leeds , where it arrived considerably lfter its time .
We have chronicled this aeddent as we have learnt it , but we cannot allow it to pass without khd 8 brief notice . It will be in the recollection of our readers that the directors and managers of tie Rorth Midland BaDway did jome months ago , discharge their praetaoed engine * invers , because the men would sot submit to a reduction of some twenty-five per cent , from their wages—of course , save , save , save , being the order of the day , ihe experiment was made upon the most industrious portion of the community , and while we hear nothing of a reduction in the high officials , it
ippeaxs that the really working portion were all treated to the sliding scale of twenty-file ~ ptx cent , ef a reduction . The death © f - poor Mr . ILlbvjst , who was literally smashed io atoms , is Dot yet forgotten , nniil at length" accident after accident , if 8 ib events deserve so mild a term , have followed in ipnek succession , owing to the grasping policy of ihemoney-mongecrSjWho , by the bye , took especial good care to raise the -fares , at the time when they Tedoeed the " wages of their menu Amongst other importations thislife-preserving eommnnhyimported { he ruffian by whose conduct poor Mr . Habvet list ha life .
To show the little care entertained for the publio afety we shall just state one fact . This said enginedr iTer , that is , the man by whose recklessness the He of Mr . Habtet was sacrificed , was well known upon the Newcastle line ; and bo ferocious and bmtal-sras bis conduct , ihai wMle tlier © he acquired . fi » appropriate appeDation of " HeB-Jirg Jack , " Coald the Directors of the North Midland have engaged this ruffian without making due enqniry , and with learning the above fact ! or did the Newcastle Directors allow them to do so without commu-&ea £ sgit 3 ! Letns have an answer to that quest ion ; as one of the parties must be highly cultable .
We shall relate a fact which came to us from an ep witness . Upon the morning on which Mr . Huvjet lost his Kfe , and while the bye-standers Jrere lost in sorrow ; the mffian , who had himself lost a part of his hand , looked on with apparent I indifference , and more than once , in the most cold I K&oded manner , exclaimed , " Pooh , its nothing , I I hare often had ten times -worseJobs than that . " ; Doe word more and ttb hare done , and that is—WfflihDsewhD care but little for ihe lives and comforts of poor engine-drivers , now cry out against the directors of this lin « , when the lives of their own order are placed in jeopardy , by the cupidity of ttoney-mongers and railway directors !

excited , by the appearance on the streets of several hundred men and women , belonging to the unemployed poor , walking in processor They ^ mustered in the Green , under what management we' have not learned , and from thence proceeded through the principal parts of the city , headed by a person bearing a black flag . Several other individuals , both men and women , carried boards , bearing inscriptions , on one of which were the words " Bread ir Death . " The party had a truly miserable and squalid appearance , many of them having little more clothing than was necessaryfor the purposes of decency j while their whole aspect'betokened the lowest stage of
wretchedness . Not a few had the appearance of being reduced tradesmen and factory girls ; bot it was not difficult to discover that a considerable proportion of them belonged to that outcast class , always numerous in Glasgow , even in the best of times . Their object was to excite the sympathy of the inhabitants ia their behalf , but further than the display made for this purpose they did not go . No begging was attempted , nor the slightest breach of the peace committed , and xfler traversing £ h « greater park of the city , they returned to their original place of master in the green , and quietly dispersed . A party ot police hung on the skirts of the procession as it wound throHgh the city , bat as we have alreadv observed , no eause of interference was given , and the poor creatures were
left to pursue their way unmolested . —Glasgow Armts .

It appears that a gentleman having met with a female in the publio street , agreed to accompany her to the above house of ill-fame . On their way thither , however , they called at several public-houses and had something to drink at each , and on their arrival at their destination the gentleman was in . a state of inebriety ; but , according to the statement of the girl , whore name is Susan Emerson , they proceeded together np-stairs to the second floor back room , where she left him for »
moment to get a light which had gone out , and on her return , the gentleman had thrown himself out of the window into the back-yard , falling upon the flag-stones , where he lay bleeding from different parts of his head . Two of the city constables ( Wardle , 325 , and Stanway 311 ) having been sent for , placed him on a shutter , and conveyed him to Sing ' s College Hospital , where he lies in a state of insensibility , arising chiefly from the injuries he sustained by his fall .

TRICKS OF THE ANTI-CORN LEAGUE AND THE WORTH OF THEIR PUBLIC MEETINGS . TO THB XDITOB OF THE K 0 B . THKBS STAB . Sib , —Yon have doubtless heard of the resolution whieb these enemies to native industry have come to upon the subject of their meetings , namely , that expressive of their d&tennisatios not to ailow any stranger to be present unless admitted by ticket , though you may not have heard of the manner in which scch tickets are issned j I " win therefore give you an account of it . Instead of leaving their tickets at the various Libraries , as most of the conveners of ticket-meetings do ( and as , for convenience sake , one weuld cave supposed the League would do ) , they will not suffer a single ticket to be Issued except at the rooms of the Association , where the greatest care is taken not to give them to asy hot Leaguers ; and as the persona who hare ihe < iwning of such tickets are League orators , and from their long connection with the agitation , know the faces of nearly all who are distinguished for their love or opposition to it , their object is easily attained ; a direct refusal being given to every applicant who by one previous act or word has incurred the displeasure of the League .
I had a splendid instance of this kind of Leaguejustice afforded me by sons advocates of the same during my application for tickets for thefirst of the great weekly meetings of the League , which are now being held every Wednesday , in the Theatre Royal , Brnry lane , and .-whicb are called "paNic" I called at the chief division of their Association , Ai 8 r West Strand , asd amengst the members whom I met with there was the notorious Sidney Smith , whom I had previously gives great off-nce to by telling Mm , si one of his meetings , that the people -wanted something more than cheap bread . It was net my intention to
speak to him , nor his duty to speak to me j my business being with the secretary , who -was then attending to the requests of somB former applicant * . A * , however , my visit wasTinexpeeted , and the secretary had sot been tampered with concerning it , asd as Mr . Smith did not wish me to have a ticket , lie thought I had better not speak t © the secretary : accordingly , by w ? . y of a prelude to a lie , be asked me if I were a subscriber to the League . I told him him that I was sot ; J ^ at , is toe advertisement calling the meeting , no "siention whatever was made of subscribers , as it distinctly stated that the pit and galleries were for tbre members , ard the b 3 xea for the public He told Vie that sot a

. single person who eame within the meaning of the term - public" should be admitted ; and that they ( the league ) meant to tone the meetisg all to themselves . I told him that be had put an estirely # rong constira © . con on the advertisement calEsg the meetis |; is question , asd that he had denied me a ticket because he knew I was a Chartist This he denied ; but , is order to get rid of a discourse is which it was evident he was worsted , he said " not sit hew to talk to you , or to eater into an explanation with yon : yon have got your answer , and sow be off . " One of the League , who stood near Mr . Smith durisg the Whole Of OUr dlsooone , and -who had heard' enrerj word that was altered , here ( by way of offering additional insult ) asked what was the matter . I toW him that , —
Mr . Smith had refused me a ticket ; and that the construction which he ( Mr . Smith ) put upon the ' meaning of the advertisement calling the meetingjwas a wrong ose ; " well suppose it is ?" snappishly observed he , " you have got your answer : asd now ( pointing towards the room door ) . go , and make whatever use of it yoa please . " Having again told them not to call this meeting a M public" oasaf tar what Mr . Smith had said respecting it , I left , and ere a very few hours were over , obtained three double tickets , for myself and others , from an office of tbe League , at which I happened to be unknown . I attended the meeting , and just as it was about to fcs dissolved , hurled two hundred copies of the enclosed addresses ot Sari Stanhope ' s Society for the protection of
British Industry , amongst , the' numerous merchants , bankers , and manufacturers , who were congregated in the pit , on whom they descended in a shower , to the no email chagrin of the League , who , doubtless , wished me asd my papers far enough . It will be more difficult than ever for me to obtain a ticket to a League meeting now ; but the more opposition that I meet with in this respect , the greater plea I shall have against the exclusive proceedings , and I here tell them that unless they abandon their packed meeting' scheme , and come forward as they ought to do , and meet the people ; there are persons is both " House / ' who will at no distant day , declare that they are afraid to do so J and Parliament , I believe , will decide accordingly . Trusting that yon will insert the above .

YORKSHIRE SPRING ASSIZES . CROWN COURT , Ttosdat , Makch 21 . ( Before Mr . Justice Colt-man . ) XUBBKB AT ILKLET . Joseph Hey , 42 , was charged with having , s Hkley , in the West-Riding , on the 17 th of December last , wilfully and maliciously murdered William Hustwick . : Mr . Wn-Kws , Mr . Ovkbend , and Mr . Habdt , appeared for the prosecution ; Mr , Baikes and Mr . Bliss defended the prisoner . Mr . Wilkins , in stating the case against thtfpri-Boner , said—Gentlemen of the Jury , the very announcement of tbe nature of the offence with ¦ which the prisoner now stands charged will be quite sufficient to prepare your minds for the discharge of a
serious and painful dnjty . The circumstances of the case itself are quite sufficient to impress you with the necessity of entering on the investigation with More than , ordinary scrutiny and , care , because the prisoner at the bar was never seen by any human , eye to commit the offence with which he stands charged , and if you convict him at all , it must must be on what is termed circumstantial evidence . The prisoner , Joseph Hey , was a wheelwright , living at Beamsley . The deceased , William Hustwick , was a neighbour of his , and the parties appear to have been on good terms until the 16 th of December , when they went to a public-house called V Lister ' s Arms , " Hklsy , about eight o ' clock in the evening . At that time there was nothing in their conduct to justify
the belief that any ill feeling subsisted between them . No angry words passed ; the deceased had done nothing to provoke the prisoner , and the prisoner had done nothing to provoke the deceased . Whilst they were at the Lister ' s Arms , a man name * Joseph UHngwdrth called in , and remained there until ihe prisoner and the deceased left the house , about a quarter past ten o ' clock . The parties were then all fresfitbut the deceased was in a much worse condition vriih regard to drunkenness than the prisoner . When tiiey were about to leave the house , the deceased expressed a wish to stay all night . This the prisonetiatrongly opposed , and told him he was talking nonsense—he had far better go home , as it wasanne clear night , and he then pushed
him out of tbe passage . This was a little past ten o ' clock . Shortly after twelve a man named Thomas Hardwickt ' a private watchman in the service of Mr . Middleton , was watching in the back-yard of a house belonging to Mr . Burges ? , the steward to Mr . Midleton . Whilst there , he heard some person cry , either—Help me—or , Let me get sp . He also heard the sound of a human voice , and other noises , which continued until about one o'clock , three quarters of an hour . The noise appeared to be near the river in a line with the steward ' s house , and itp seemed as if some persons -were throwing stones into tbe water . Shortly after one o ' clock , Hardwick went to Middleton Lodge , and was there joined by W . Hawksworth , and other gamekeepers , who were watching
poachers . They all then went to the place where the sound appeared to come from , and in a field called Hawksworth Island , between the high-road and the river Wharf they found the deceased . He was not quite dead , but lived about half an hour afterwards . He however , did nothing bat moan until the time of his death . There was a thick stick lying besides him , about a yard from his body . The landlord of the inn will tell you that when the deceased and the prisoner left his house , they each had a stick . The prisoner ' s was a slender walkingstick , but the deceased ' s was a thick rough one , about three feet long . PieeeB of flesh , hair , and skin , were found on the Btiok which was lying uear to the deceased , and it was covered with blood . In addition
to this you will find , from the evidence of a medical man , that the body of the deceased was in a most awful state , and when his hat was taken oS a large quantity of blood flowed from it . To use the wordB of one of the parties present , tbe head of the deceased was literally smashed , and his body one mass of bruises , inflicted by some violent and bloody hand . The prisoner was the last person in whose company the deceased was seen alive—that you will find was somewhere about half-past ten o ' clock . You will find from the evidenoe that about twelve -o ' clock the moaning and cries begaD , and continued in the hearing of the watohman until after one . The body of the deceased was then discovered , and cairied to a public house in a cart . About half-past
six in the morning two of the keepers , Thomas Gill and Charles Moon , went to the prisoner ' s house , the door was fast , bat they heard the prisoner cry out , ** Who ' s there ! " and a candle was lit , which was afterwards extinguished j and it was not until a considerable time bad elapsed that they gained admiafdon- The prisoner was asked if he had been at Ilkley with deceased the night before , and he said he had . Moon asked where he left him , and prisoner replied in the flat close by the lime-kiln . There are two , and the body ot the deceased was found midway between them , about 200 yards from each . Moon then asked prisoner if deceased was drunk , to which he replied that deceased was either drunk or sulky , as he could not get him any
further than the flit clo 3 e . He also said that after leaving Ilkley he had tewed with him for about an hour before he could get him to the place where he had left him . Deceased wished to sit down there , and so prisoner allowed him to do so . Moon said , "He is dead . " Prisoner replied *» Thou talks . " He was then asked whether on the road home he had met or seen anything , and he said he had heard a gun fired off . I think you will be of opinion that that cannot be true , for every one of the parties I shall call before yon that went to look for the body , and afterwards found it , will tell yoa that they were oat in seach of poachers , when their attention was direoted to every sound and ^ circumstance which could justify the belief of parties being in the
neighbourhood , and they heard no gun fire . This story may be true , but it may also bathe expedient of a guilty mind to seek for some cause , to which to ascribe the death of the deceased , in order that he himself might be clear of the charge . I say no more on that point , Gentlemen of tho Jury—I leave the inference to you . The prisoner was then asked at what time he got home , and his wife stated , in his hearing , that he got home about half-past three . You will remember the first rsoaniogs were heard about twelve o ' clock , and coatinued up to one , and at half-past one when the body of the deceased was found , he was still living . At that time , when the
prisoner left the deceased , he would have to go three or four miles ; so that if he had gone straight home at the time when he says he left the deceased , he would have been there long before the time stated by his wife . The prisoner made no remark , and did &ot contradict his wife , when she said it was halfpast three before he arrived home . She also said , " Poor Will ; I have been studying all night , and wondering whether he got home or not . " ThiB thaws that a conversation had taken place between the prisoner and his wife about tbedeoeased . Between eight and nine o ' clock , Abraham England , a constable of Addingham , and Ellis Whitaker , went to apprehend the prisoner , when England found him in

the street , and said to him you are my prisoner . I am come to apprehend you in conaequeQce of your being conneoted with , the death of William Hustwicki . Have you anything to state why you should not be taken into custody ? Prisoaeif said I do not know that I have . England then examined prisoner ' s shirt , and on the wrist bands of both Bleeves he foandepot g of blood . He was-asked how they had come there , and he stated that he had assisted in carrymg a pig belonging to abrother of the deceased , S t * j at ^ hat time he ihad ne- coat on . He said naiad washed his hands ! a little that morniDg . He went into his house and put his coat on , and England and WhiHaker then set off with him tb Addingnaui . Aa they were ' Seoinflr . Enarland noticed . . ~ " ^ -
that there were marks of bfe » d on the mside of prisoner ' s coatjand heaskedh ^ iJiey oame to be ; the re . Prisoner said he could not ^ ell , unless it was from Hustwick ' epig . England rMied that cannot be , as yon had no coat on . Whefifat Addingham he was asked why the Wood war on his coat , and he gave another reason totally different from that which he had given before- ; he said it was from Hustwiok ' s nose having bled , as they sat on a wall after they got across the' bridge flat . On the very next day , a medical xasn , who examined the body of the deceased , and particularly inspected the riostils , stated that there were no marks of blood to be found . T&ia would affect the prisoner in two ways . First , With regard to his veracity . When first asked
about t&e blood on his coat , he said he could not account for its being there , except it had been caused by Hustwick ' s pig . When he was told that he had no coat on , he then gave a different version of the cause of the blood ; and it seems to me , if the statement of the medical man is to be relied upon , the statement of the prisoner cannot be relied upon , in accounting for the blood found on his coat ; while the woman who laid the diseasad out will corroborate the statement of the Burgeon . and will state that she found no blood in his nose . During his examination before the justices , the prisoner said that he and the deceased went on until they came to a style , when the deceased made a bit of a flounder , and when they cot further , he said .
11 1 believe my nose bleeds . " They went on a little further until they came to the lime-kiln , when the deceased said he would remain there . When the prisoner got home his wife told him it was two o ' clock . I ought also ta state thai some blood was found upon the latchetg of one of the prisoner's shoes . I have now gone through the facts of the case upon which you are to form your yerdiofc , There can be no doubt that deceased died from violence j there can be no doubt that the prisoner was the last man seen ; in his company ; there can be no doubt that the deceased desired to stay all night at the Lister ' s Arms , and the prisoner was the man who prevented it . There can be no doubt that at twelve o ' clock the moaning of the deceased began , and continued until half-past one . The prisoner
does / not find his way home until half-past three o'clock , when he is found with stains of blood upon hia shirt and coat , for which he cannot account , and respecting which he gives contradictory and conflicting statements . The Learned Counsel concluded by remarking that he left the prisoner to God and his country , and he waa sure that the Jury would do their duty . Several witnesses were then examined , who bore eut the statement of the Learned Counsel in mo 3 t ofthe particulars , after which MrVBAiWES addressed the Jury for the prisoner at some lengthy contending that from all the circumstances ofthe ease not only that there was no proof that the p risoner waa euiitvof this heinous crime .
but that the facts of the case led to the conclusion that he was not , and the Jury could not arrive at any other conclusion than that the prosecator had entirely failed in establishing the charge of guilt against the prisoner . He said he would proceed to review- the case as it stood , and when he had done so he would ask permission of the Jury whether it was necessary for him to go into the body of evidence that he might produce before them , but if they did not think that at all necessary , then they would one and all say that they were convinced , the prosecutor bad not made out his ease , and they were ready at once to pronounce a verdict of acquittal . After Mr . Balnea ' s address , the Jury , without hearing any of the prisoner ' s witnesses * found turn Not Guilty . The Learned Judge concurred in tbe opinion of the Jury .
BDHGLAHY AT HCNTINGTON . Wilson Rocket , 28 , who had been out on bail , was charged with having on the 6 th of January last , at Huntington , broken into the dwelling-bouse of John Bradley , apd stolen therefrom 200 sovereigns . Mr . Wilkins and Mr . Thompson were for the prosecution ; Mr . Buss and Mr . Pulleine defended the prisoner . Mr . Wilkins stated the case for tbe prosecution , after whioh the following witnesses were examined ;—Elizabeth Bradley deposed—I am the wife of John Bradley , of Huntington ; he is in his 87 ih year ; I am turned 70 ., I keep a shop . On Friday morning , the 6 th of January , fonr men came into
our house . We went to bed on Thursday night about eleven o ' clock , having examined the doors and windows to see that 'they were fast . About one o ' clock feur men came into the room . Two eame to my bed side , and two to the bed foot . They took me by the throat , and I thought they were choking me . I forced the hand off . They then put their hands upon my mouth and nipped my nose . One of the men took a pillow , put it on my face , and got upon it with his knees . The prisoner is the man who got upon me with his knees . He said . * ' if you don't hold your noise and be still , I'll blow your brains oat if you speak a word . " I got the pillow off and said " are you going to murder us , what do you want 1 " He said he wanted our money . The prisoner had a dub Btiok in his hand . They took my husband by one of his legs and trailed him into another room . They struck him over the head
with the club stick . In ten minutes or a quarter of an hoar , they trailed him back by the hair of his bead like a clog of wood . He was bleeding from bis head , nose , and mouth , from the stroke of the stick . When he was in the other room , I heard them say " Hang him out , he ' s not dead yet . " When he came back , they trailed me out of bed . I said " Oh , " and one of them said " Come , madam , if you say that again , I'll blow your brains oat . " The faces ofthe men were sot grimed ; they had bits of crape over their faces , and had short smock frooks on . Whentheyiwent . tothebedof my grand-daughter , two of them took their veils off and put them in their hats . I saw the faced of two very fair when they were talking to my grand-daughter . The prisoner was one of the two men who took their veils off . The prisoner had a candle and a stick . He laid his stiok on the bed when he seized me by the throat .
Mr . J . S . Maddison , superintendent of the rural police , produced a crape Veil . Examination of E . Bradley resurred— -This is the veil that was found in the room entangled with the bed foot . There was only one veil found . The men had such veils as these on . Prisoner bad a dark coat and waistcoat ; I saw them through his smock being open at the breast . The men stayed abont an hour in the room . I don't know I lost anything but the money . We lost , £ 200 , which were in a little box under a step ; the money was in sovereigns . They said they were going down staire , they should be there two hours , while they got something to eat , aud if we spoke or stirred , they would blow onr brains out . I found that the men had gone shortly
after , and I alarmed my neighbours . The back window had been torn out of the frame . They had got in at the window ; and opened tho back door . That back door was fastened by me . I saw ^ the prisoner first after that on Monday , the 1 st February at the Castle gates . They fetched him down stairs for me to look at him . As soon as he passed me I saw that was the man . Cross-examined—1 had been asleep before the men came in . Before I went I had heard ihe clock strike twelve . They had all stiokB , and good thick ones too . One of the men had a handkerchief over his face . I can't say I was very much frightened considering the alarm . I have not got quit of my hurt yet . The veils were taken off when they had
almost done their work . The first time I saw any face without crapo was when they went to the bedside . I went to the Castle gateB to See if I could challeHge the prisoner . A man went to fetch him down stairs . I had never known or seen the prisoner before that I know of . I know a man called the herring man , and I bought some herrings of him once . I shottld know him if I saw him again . 1 know Joseph Harrison , ha lodged with me , and left my bonse on Wednesday , and this happened on Friday morning When they had got the money they went away . They left me when they went for the money . I saw the naked faces of the two men for ten minutes or a quarter of an hour ., I did not see the faces of the other men . I think I should know the other man if I saw him . I am sure the prisoner is the man who came to my bed-side and ill-used me . Witness repeated that she was quite sure the prisoner was the man . I did not see a man in the
room that was like the herring man . My son was sent for immediately . It had msi gone two ; o ' olock when the alarm wasmade . ——Re-examined . —When they were near my bedside I could see faces of the men sideways ; they had candles in their bands , I knew the prisoner as soon as 1 saw him at the Castle gates . When they' got ! the box they shook it , and said " This is what we have come for , and we have got it . " I hare no doubt the prisoner is the man . Win . Benjamin Lund , father of lasf witnesB deposed . —I live at Huntington . I was called up on the morning in question . It had just struck two when I was putting my olothes on . I went to W . Bradley ' s house ; everything was triried inside out . At that time I suspected Joseph Harrison . < I w ent with Wm . Wilson to the York police station ; we got there about ' half-past two . I told Mr . Chalk , and he gave directions for printing the hand-bills . It was through a quilt being stole that I suspected Harrison . When I returned my daughter cave me

The Jury , after a v « wy short consultation , found the prisoner Guilty . j On being asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed'upon him , the prisoner blamed his attorney for not calling all his witnesses , as he had several more . : He said , Wood had committed the robbery , and he [ had several respectable witnesses in Court , who had not been called . ] The following witnesses were then examined *—Mr . Hill , publican . Peaahohne-ereeri' deDosed—I

j XO THE EDIIQB OF XHS NORTHERN STAtt . SIB—In your pape * of to-day I percslved a brief report of what fell from me while addressing the friends of freedem in Leeds , on Saturday the 11 th 4 ns * f * nt , relative to tbe treatment of myself by the Magistrates Of Bewrley . In this teporl there is a very slight inaccuraey , which might veiy naturally occur , as yom ? talented correspondent did not take notes while I spoto * . consequently d « w oaA his report from memory . In hia-report he makes me say ;—"That the Magistrates of Beverley did refose to allow me the right ; of petition while I remained their prisoner " Small as this fnaecaracy is I lose not a moment ia pntting , with yonr pernistfion , the public right on this jBiibject . . . — . . . ' - - ' — i
, Sir , I can afford to do the magistrates of Bev $ rley full jnstice ; . and atill have a atory to tell which will not , 1 thi nk , raise them very high in the estimation of their felUnv-nwn in general . The 1 language I madouse-of at the meeting alluded to , was th is 2—" Th ; \ t the magistrate- of Beverley bad , by preventingme from writing toany ether than my wife , snd to her only once- a-month , and by placing upon my torrespondenoa wit b her such & aarieaof restrictions—restrictions bath vexavious- and unmanly , and calculate * , if not
intended , tt > defeat the . end * of justice—and not satisfied with preventing- me ttom sending my letters to Edinburgh such * instructions- as- would have enabled my friends to Itave exposed- the abominable falsehood by which I wsa convicted , and * to pat them in possession of facts whi . db , If published-, would necessarily have secured my liberation and : most likely have been the means of bringing the guitty . empkiyera to punishmentbut that the magistrate * o&'Beveriey did all that taey durst to prevent any petition eoroplanlng of theirt > wir ennduct from ever reacbing the- House of Commons or the public , atall . ?
The facts-of the cas »> Sir , ace shortly these . After I had been for some month * a prisoner , and from the dreadful , effect * of the inhuman treatment * was * subjected to upon- my own- body , and also front the fact of the very sudden death of a yoang man named Creaaor , caused * aa I sappose , by the operation of the-treadmilU aoonvtetion forced itself opon my mind , that the IqMi of mj life was inevitable , if indeed ite destruction ! was not designed . This suspicion , and a , strong saspicibii it was , waa greatly strengthened by the ciroumstance that I learned that every effort was made by Sheppard aDd his principal officer to . keep , the fact of this- unfortunate man ' s death , and every circumstance connected with it , from me ; and the uncomfortable suspicion was still farther strengthened by . the feaxfol state of agitation into wlriclt the jailor ,: and turnkey appeared to be thrown as soon
as they koewvthat Graasoefe death was known to me , and that I bad expressed my intention of petitioning fot inquiry . Such waa tfee excitement of the jailor , that forborne time- ii appeared to deprive him of his ordinary , prudence , and caution , so much so that he ordered me immediately to be locked up in a solitary cell , apart from , the other prisoners , informing me-, at the same-time , that he-did bo in order to keep me from acquiring any further information relative to Creasor" » treatment ot death . Why this should have been . tha case appeared to . my simplicity very eztraoxdinary indeed * as Iicould not conceive why publicity should have , been either dreaded or shunned , provided all the ciroomstancea qt Cteaaor ' a death ware fair and aboveboard : . these facts forced upon me the conviction that Ivbad a small , change of leaving the prison a living man , unless L found the means of directing the public attention to my . case aad sufferings .
While I was-thus privately kept out of the way ana engaged in writing a petition to Parliament , I was visited : by a Mr . Willie and another magistrate . I requested these men to permit me to send my petition to Edinburgh , so that my friends might put it into a proper form , for preaentaUon , giving as a reason my well-knotvo , deficiency in penmanship ; also that I knew , not any M . P . to whom I might take the freedom of sending it direct This reasonable request these men thooght proper to refuse , and in doing so did all they could to render the right of petition null and void —this is what I stated at the public meeting * and what has- somewhat misled my esteemed ft ' end Mr . Ross .
There is also in that report another trifling miastatement ; the petition of the inhabitants of Bradford is . first for inquiry into the coadnot of themagistrates of that town is the employing of such worthless men as the spies Harrison and Smith . Seeondly , for inquiring into the conduct of the magis trates of Beverley in having prevented : me from seeing my solicitor or taking any other means , even the simple one of sending the requisite instructions to my poorwife to establish tbe now nndeniabla fact , that I was convicted by falsehood and convicted too of a crime conceived and executed by the agents of the magistrates of Bradford themselves . It fa , Sir , but just to the maghtmtes of Beverley to state that though unaccountable to me , they had at least the sanction of the Whig Government
Shortly after my becoming an . inmate of Beverley prison the Whigs sent to tbe magistrates a letter commanding them to prevent me from holding ,, apon any consideration , any communication with any men of Radical politics , or of writing one single word , that could in any way affect th © public mtnd . It was ia vain that I represesented to . these magistrates that the ends of juBtice required , that the safety of life and liberty in England demanded , that I should have an opportunity of making the guilt ofthe Crown witnesses apparent . It was in vain that I maintained that It was their duty as magistrates to protect , announce , detect , and punish crime . The . only answer I could wring from them was , we will obey our instructions . Your insertion , if convenient , of this correctios , will oblige , Sir , Tears truly , Robert Peddie . Edinburgh .

BARNSLETT . —Considerable excitement waa created in this town in consequence of a new bom child having been forind on Sunday morning in a draw well , in Oxford-square , «* Wuson ' s-pieee , by a person who wai searching thewell ^ with drags , for a can , The circumstance soon spread , and hundreds were soon on the spot . A Coroners inquest was held on the body on Monday , at one o ' clock , and the following facts came out in evidence : —The first wi ness called was a boy by the name of Hurst , who swore that upon Friday night , Mary Moss , ( a midwife who was taken into custody on Sunday morning ) who came to the house of his parents on Friday night , with something wrapt in her apron .
enquiring about ihe use of the water of the well Wb . 6 n she went out the boy went to the door after her—8 aw her go to the well and heard a great splash in the well . He told his mother abont it . The person who found the child deposed to its being bound with cords , one of which was round the seek , with a stone fastened to it . Elizabeth Pickering swore to the child being hers \ -that she was delivered the Sunday fortnight previous ; that the child was still born , and that , it waa nailed up within a few boards ; that she gave Mary Moss sixpence to get it buried , which she said was done . Mary Cook swore to being there just as the child was born . She said it was warm and must have been alive
about the time of its delivery , but never breathed . Doctor Eyre was of opinion that the child was still born . From this evidence the Coroner had no further jurisdiction over the ease , but the woman Moss was retained to be tried for a felony and misdemeanour , for stripping the-body of the child and keeping tbe money . ^ IliS MANCHESTER—League mode ow Mimr-FACTURING SIGNATURES TO THEIR PETITIONS . —Th © Anti-Corn Law League have had a number of petition sheets laying for signature in various parts of the town of Manchester and Salford , for the total aud immediate repeal of the corn laws . We have not heard the number of signatures obtained to tho
petition , nor do we know from whence the petition originated , but of this we are certain , that it has aot received the sanction of & publio meeting ofthe inhabitants ; but at the same time we are prepared to prove from ocular demonstration , that a very great number of the signatures are forgeries , At one table we saw one person write eighteen namesj at another we observed tbe person who had the charge of it , write down . six . We expressed our disgust at such nefarious proceedings , and he immediately laid down the pen . At another table we observed boys under the age of aine years , write- from ten to twenty name&each . These are facts we can substantiate upon oa-th if required , and we think such infamous conduct deserves exposure . —Cbr .
