      ELECriON OP CHURCHWARDENS . Tie election of churchwardens for the Leeds Parish Church took plaee at a 7 e 3 try meeting , held for the purpose on Thursday last , At noon . The Ray . the Yjcah wok the chair precisely at twelve o clock , and read the notice by which the meeting had been conyened . Befora any further business was proceeded with , Mr . Wil 3 book , tobacconist , Zirkgate , said he beliered there were numbers of workmen who could not gain admittance to the Yesfcry , and others who had gone to the Court House in the expectation that the meeting wonld be adjourned to that place . He pegged to propose , therefore , that the meeting be adjourned to the Court House . This haring been Beconded

      , Mr . Thokas Mobgan mored , as an amendment , that the adjournment be to the Cloth Ball Yard . ( Cries of " No , no . ") The Tjcab—I will put the question of adjournment first , and determine on the place afterwards . On a show of hands being called for , the adjournment was carried , and the Vicar then adjourned the meeting to the Court House .

      XD 30 U&SEV MEETING . The Vicab having taken the chair at the Conrt House , again read the notice by which the meeting had been called , TheyiCAU then said , —The Archdeacon having determined to swear in sueh Churchwardens as in the chapelries shall be elected by the ministers and inhabitants of those chapelries , irrespeotvre of this xaeeting ,-WB are assembled thiB day merely to appoint the wardens the Parish Church .. The © See of warden in a church is compared to that of a constable in civil affairs ; and each warden will have to appear "before ihe Venerable Archdeacon , and swear that he will faithfully and diligently discharge the duties of his office . Among other things he

      has to swear that he will keep the church is good repair , preserve its property , and make provision for the services . Moreover , he solemnly swears to . be present at the services of the Parish Church on all Sundays and holidays ; to take care that no disorder be committed in the church during the time of service ; but that all things are kepi orderly and quiet . In the law books it instated that if in the regular attendance at church , or in any other particular , the Churchwardens wilfully fail , they are guilty of a breach of their oath , and load their souls with the an of perjury . As it is clear from this that no conscientious Dissenter from the Church of England can hold the office of Churchwarden , if a Dissenter from the Church of England

      he elected , he hath liberty by the Act of Toleration to offer to the Archdeacon a deputy to be sworn into the said office in his stead , and to discharge it for him . This elaosB was obtained by co&scientiona Dissenters in the Toleration Act , because , without a violationof conscience , they declared it tobeimpossible tobecome a Churchwarden . Archdeacon Mosgrate desires the Churchwardens , old and new , to wait upon him , at the Royal Hotel , in Leeds , on the 31 st of May , at the hoar of nine in the forenoon , —the old to give in their presentments , and to bring in their terriers ; the new to make their declaration of conformity to the Church and dne obedience to its laws , and also to receive from him , their religions "superior , his instructions and commands , as the sworn servants of the Church . I would

      recommend the Churchwardens for this year to pay the expenses by subscription among their friends , and not by a church-rate , as on the subject of churchrates there is an action sow pending . I now nominate W . Milthorpe Maude , Esg ^ of Knostrop , to be my Churchwarden for the year ensuing . Mr . Thos . Mobgah said , he had a list to propose of gentlemen competent to fill the office of churchwardens . He proposed the following list—Mr . Thos . Wnitehead , 81 , Darley-street . Mr . Geo , Bead , tobacconist , Briggate . Mr . John Jackson , corn miller , Meadow-lane . Mr , John Barr , printer , Cheapside . Mr . Jos . Saville , Ryder's BuUdingB , Chatham-st . M ,. Wm . Baron , tailor , Plum-8 treet . Mr . Mark ^ Richardson , Beckett-street , BurmandtoftB .

      Mr . Richasb Bbami / et said , that in duty to the church at which he worshipped , he came forward to propose as churchwardens a list of gentlemen connected therewith . He did so because he thought that in all reason the duties of the Parish Church ought to be carried out by those who conformed to her doctrines , And who believed in their validity . He therefore begged to propose Mr _ F . Pickering , St . Petert-square , gentleman . Mr . George Bulmer , Assembly Court , surgeon . Mr . John Nelson , Jan ., Briggate , ironmonger . Mr . Thomas Garland , North-street , druggist . Mr . Enoch Haxdwick , Bnslingtnorpe , gentleman . Mr . Mark Walker , Byron-street , flax-spinner . Mr . Uobert Taylor , Merrion-streefc , butcher .

      Mr . Wm . B&ook . said he had a list to propose for the office of Churchwarden , and in the first place he had to complain of the conduct of the Whigs on this occasion ; they had been trying to sift the Chartist body as to what names they were going to propose for the office of Churchwarden , and had gone about their business in the m 03 t unworthy , mean and gypat-lpTg manner , both amongst what they called their own friends and also amongst the Chartist ranks . He vraa about to propose a list , and from thaflist the meeting would see ( the Whigs ) had endeavoured to get one ont of it—Mr . John Jackson ; for he dare be bound to say that if they had been led by their own choice , and had no unworthy motive to stimulate them , they would not have choBeu him , ( Hear . ) But they wanted to divide the Chartist ranks by professing

      to pnt forward one whom they knew was too liberal by half for them . He hoped , however , the working men of Leeds would stick true to the list which lie was about to propose , and show to the Whigs that this time they were not to be led into any collision . w " said the speaker , despise Whigs—( cheers . ) There is not a body in existence by whom we h « rVe been half so much deceived as by them ; bnt 1 hope on this occasion yoa will show that you have a proper estimate of their trne character , and convince them that yon are no longer to be deceived by them—( cheers . ) I have Mr . James Bufton in my list , and I have been told that they had him in theirs also . I am not surprised that they have not , because in the Town Conncil both Whigs and Radicals have-combined , ¦ nguinat him to keep him out of all committees , the reason being that he is too honest for them . " Mr . Brook then proposed the following

      list : — Mr . John Jackson , corn-miller , Meadow Lane . Mr . John Sanderson , cloth dresser , Chatham-st . Mr . Thomas Clarkson , shoemaker , Central Market . Mr . John Stnbbs , press-setter , Marlborough Sweet . . ^ Mr . George Hobson , shopkeeper , Brewery Field , Mr , George Bramham , flour dealer , West-Btreet . Mr . James Dufton , broker , St . Peter ' s Square . There being no other propositions , the Vicab said that before proceeding to pnt the names to the meeting , he wonld just state that last year the working classes came to that Hall on a similar occasion to ihe present , and there they determined nnnn electine Churchwardens from their « wn body

      and this he mnsl say , they were the only body of Chnrohwardens he had had , since he came to Leeds , who had conducted themselves in an honourable , straightforward , and gentlemanly manner . ( Deafening cheers . ) They told him at once , on entering npon their office , that on many points they disagreed with him , but said ihat , having taken the office , they were determined conscientiously to discharge its duties . They had done so , and therefore he could not wish for better churchwardens than those he had had during ihe last year , except , indeed , they wonld favour him with those who belonged to the Parish Church ; and perhaps of these they would rive him a few—( Cries from some of the Whigs ,

      f Never" ) . He might state that he should not put the names to the meeting in lists ; but each name separately , as he had been advised it wonld be more regular . The names were then taken , one from each list , and announced by the Chairman , after which they were pnt separately to the vote . The names comprised in Mr . Morgan ' s list , with the exception of Mr . Jackson , who was also proposed by Mr . Brook , were supported by a few straggling votes , not exceeding , we think . half a dozen for any one of them ; those in Mr . Bramley ' s list received the votes of probably fifty ; while for every name proposed by Mr . Brook a whole forest of hands appeared , and they were carried amidBt tremendous cheering , the R 9 V . Chairman declaring them duly elected , and at

      once dissolving tbfl meeting . The decision of the Vicar seemed to take the Whigs by surprise- ; they had come to the meeting " big with speech , " and were sadly disappointed in j having to waste their rhetoric in murmuring to the pavement , as they retired to their homes in high dndgeon- The Vicar , however , gained for himself the praise of all good men . Mr . Wm . Bbook then proposed , and Mr . Joskp-h Josss seconded , & vote of thanks to the Vicar ^ for his gentlemanly eondnct in the chair . Th-eir ^ on was carried by acclamation . The Vicab retained thanks , and said ib ^ t whenever he was called to a similar post he hoped he should always eondnct himself with strict honour and impartiality . The meeting then dissolved , the vhole proceedings having only occupied half ar ^ how an five minutes .

Craister in the name of Robinson , and said he worked at Messrs . Law-Bonsrbut not calling again , as he had promised , on Mr . Urai 8 ter , that gentleman became suspicious , and on applying to the Messrs . Lawson , he found that no snch person worked at their establishmentbut

      , was informed that inquiry had been made there only a short time before , whether there was a man of the name of Thompson , who had taken a house of another person amongst their workmen , which there was not . Information of the affair was then communicated to the poliee , and it was found that a person answering to the Bame description as the one r ?« T > / rauded Mr - Craister , had taken a house of Mrs . Richardson , P » ovidence Buildings , Stamford Jtoad , under the name of John Thompson , on Friday the 7 th inBtant , and had stripped it of the brass handles and locks in the Bame way . Search was instituted the

      by police , for the missing artioles , and four looks and three bells , which were identified by Mr . Craister , and a number of door handles , which were identified by Mrs . Richardson , were found at two odds-and-ends stalls in the Vicar * s Croft , and , it appeared , had been also sold to the keepers of them by a man answering exactly the description of the prisoner , who , it was'proved ; had taken the houses . The keepers of these stalls gave , such a description of him as ltd to his apprehension . The -Bench , after hearing all the circumstances , fully committed the prisoner for trial at the next Borough Sessions .

He informed the meeting that the Conncil of the Society had met that moraine , and a letter was read to them by Mr . Hatton Stansfeld , which ho had received from Mr .

The Council , after hearing that letter read , came to the resolution to recommended that the general meeting should foe adiouraed

      for three weeks , in order to see if some leasable plan could not be adopted for carrying the Gardens on . Unforseen circumstances had prevented certain of the proprietors from waiting upon those gentlemen , who , there was reason to hope and expect , would adopt means to continue the gardens . Mr . Eddison ' s letter was then read by the Chairman , he regretted that he was unable to attend the meeting , but said that he continued to be strongly of opinion that the best coarse to be pursued woald be to sell the Gardens . Mr . Hatton Stansfield proposed that the recommendation of the Council be adopted , which was seconded by Mr . Sparke George . Mr . Edward Tatham moved , as an amendment , that the gardens be immediately sold under the direction of a

      committee . This was seconded by Henry Stocks Smith . After a little conversational discussion , in which \ . he movers and seconders of the twa first propositions , Mr . W . West , Mr . F .

      MURDER BY A FEMALE , IN SALFORD . A shocking occurrence took place ia Salfotd oa Friday last , and one which created great excitement amongst the inhabitants living in the vicinity of the Town Hall . It appears that early that morning , a man named Robert Travis , about 50 years of age , was stabbed by a female named Oliver , alias Morris , who lived at a house in Brunswick-street , near the Market-place , and with whom he cohabited . The wound was inflicted with a large sharp-pointed carving knife , which penetrated the left side of the abdomen ; and , although medical assistance was promptly procured , he died in the afternoon of the same day . Both he and the womau were intoxicated at the time of the occurrence , and , according to her

      statement , they had been quarrelling , and he had made an attempt to cut her throat , when she snatched the knife from him and stabbed him . The deceased , we understand , formerly kept the Black Boy publio-house , in Old Millgate , in Manchester , and : was possessed of some property . The woman , who is about the sam ^ age as Ihe deceased , was taken into custody , to await the result of the inquest , whiob was held before Mr . Rutter , at the Manor Inn , Szlford , on Saturday evening . Mr . J . Taylor and Mr . Andrews , solicitors , attended on behalf of the prisoner , who was in custody at the Inn , though not in the room where the inquest was held , and appeared greatly didtie .-sed . The following evidence was adduced : — ' '

      Edwd Hughes , police watchman , of Salford , said —About three o ' clock yesterday morning I met Jane Oliver , otherwise called Jane Morris , the person now in custody , in Rosamond-street . I heard her screaming and knocking at the door of the Manor Inn ; and , on ' coming towards the place , I found her . I asked her the reason why she was making bo much noise , and why she was in so much trouble , as 1 perceived she was in trouble . She said she could not tell me , but if 1 would go with her to her house Bbe would show mel I went to her house , which is in Brunswick-street ^ and » the moment ... I went in , I saw deceased lying in a back room on the

      ground floor , and apparently dead . No one else was there . He was lying close to the fender , with his face towards the fire . His trousers were unbuttoned , and his shirt a little out } and , on perceiving blood on his shirt , I asked her the cause of it . She said she did not know . I then lifted up his shirt and a flannel waistcoat , and saw a large wound inflicted on the left side of his belly , as if made with a knife . His entrails appeared to be ' coming through the wound , and I endeavoured to put them back as well as I could . I then asked Mrs . Morris what bad been the matter , when she replied , I will tell you ; we had a row ; he was gqing to cut my throat , and I took a knife and stabbed biia in

" " Awful , indeed / ' x said ; " a doctor will be needed in a case of thi 3 ki ti immediately , Ia there any one in the house that S can send for a doctor , " She answered , " There i ¦» , no one but he and I . " I then said I would go-and ' fetch a doctor . Travis then opened his eyes , and looking at me , Baid , «¦ No , watchman , I ' m all right ; £ ? Pf . aot fet < sfe ^ y doctor to me , * i then lifted him up , pnt him in a sitting position' upon a chair , aad then left the house , saying I would fetch a doctor . I called at the police office and informed M : Ward , the superintendent of ipolice , who went with me to the bouse . Mr . Ward then said I must fetch u doctor , whea Mrs . Oliver ; requested me to fetch Mr . Brownbill , surgeon ; and ! Mr . Ward said 1 = must also fetch Mr . Crighton . I went to both , and both came immediately . I knew \ Mrs . Oliver , and

      the deceased also ; to my knowledge , they have both lived at the same bouse ia Brunswick-street for some years . She has generally gone byline name of Mrs . Oliver , but is sometimes ealled Mra . Morris . She seemed forward i » liquor ; that is , she seemed as if shehad had a good deal . The deceased also seemed as if ha had had » good deal of liquor . I had not heard any noise before I heard the knocking at the door of the Manor Inn \ bat my round does not extend so far . —Cross-examined byiMr . Taylor—The deceased appeared aeasiWe at . the time he spoke . John Ward , superintendent ofipolice , said , —A little after three yesterday morning , the last witness came to me at the police office , and ^ in consequence of what he said , I went with him immediately to the

      house where the deceased was . I found him seated in an arm chair . I asked him what ! was the matter , and he said Nothing . " Mrs . Oliver was then standing in front of him , crying . I examined him , and saw his entrails protruding from his belly to the extent of about an inch . I asked him who had stabbed him , and he said he did not know . I then cautioned her as to what she said , telling her it might be given in evidence against her . I then asked her how it was done , when she clasped her hands and said , * 'Ihave done it . " I asked her how ithappened , to which Bhe replied , We Were falling out , and he got a knife to eat my throaty when I took it from hint and stabbed him with it . " I then told her she must go with me . She 8 &id . t" Robert , must

      he take meV He said , No , no one shall take you , for there ' s nothing wrong with you . ? There was a carving-knife marked with blood lying upon a table iu the same room . 1 asked her if that was the knife the deceased had been stabbed whb , and she said she did not know . The Burgeons then got the deceased put to bed . Mrs . Oliver ' s clothes were loose , as if she had been preparing for bed . She ! went up stairs to adjust her dress to go with me ; and , to another woman , who was up stairs , she said , " Oh ! they'll hang me for this , " She . appeared to be in great trouble and much agitated , and I took her to the lockup . She was much in liquor . The deceased died between two and three o ' clock yesterday afternoon . The last words he said were " Oh , my Jenny !

      my Jenny ! my Jenny V ) Mr . Joseph Crighton . surgeon , of Salford , said—Between three and four o ' clock yesterday morning , I attended the deceased , whom I found sitting in a chair in the back parlour , very pale , and apparently intoxicated . I was told he had received an injury , and upon examining him , I found there was a wound in the abdomen , on the left side , about three inches from and a little higher than the navel , from which there protruded a membrane called the omentum . There was a little hreinorrhage , and no appearance of external injury with the exceptionjof the wound . He was put to bed , and the wound { was dressed . Mr . Brownbill , surgeon , was also called in at the request of Mrs . Oliver . I saw the deceased at halfpast nine in the morning , when he expressed himself tolerably well . There was no appearance of immediate danger when I saw him in the morning , still , I considered it a dangerous case , and expressed

      myself so to the police . I made an inspection of the body to-day f and upon opening the abdomen there was found a quantity of coagulated blood , acd among the intestines a quantity of liquid blood to the amount of three or four pounds ; There was no wound in the intestines . We also inspected the chest , and the organs contained therein were healthy . My opinion is that he died from haemorrhage , owing to an incision in one of the vessels of the omentum . There was a wound in the abdomen of about three quarters of an inch in length , and the instrument with which it had been iu&icted had penetrated to the intestines . The wound was such as might have been produced by a knife like that now , produced . — Cross-examined by Mr . Andrews— I < should say , that , under any circumstances , a wound sueh as the one 1 have now described would produce death . Mr . Travis expressed himself exceedingly anxious that Mrs . Oliver should , be liberated . /

      Catherine Clark , of Water-street , j Manchester-. charwoman , was next ealled , and related what the deceased said to her respecting the circumstances under which the wound was inflicted ; but the coroner said he could not take it as evidence ; inasmuch as the deceased , at the tine he made the statement did not appear to have expected immediate death . The-substance of Clark ' s statement was , that the deceased said it was entirely his own doing ; that he went out on Thursday night and got some liquor , and , came back with Mr . Allen ; that after Mr . Allen had gone to bed , Mrs . Oliver and himself bad a quarrel ; and that oa bis taking a knife andtfhreat eaing to out her ——— head off , she snacdied the knife from his hand and stabbed him with it . He also repeated !; said , be should soon get bet tar if Jane ( meaning the prisoner ) was at home , and that she ( Clark ) was not to tell Mr . Diggles any thing he had said to her . i

      The Coroner , in summing up the evidenoe , said the only question for the jury to determine ffc&s , whether the prisoner was guilty of murder or manslaughter . According to her own statement s there ^ waa a considerable degree of provocation given b ? the deceased to her . They were undoubtedly in . jliquor , and , according to her account , they had a vow ; and probably those circumstances would lead the jury to return a verdict of manslaughter . But be might mention to them , that there had recently passed an act of parliament , which made cutting and stabbing with a knife a felony , although the party inflicting the wound might be in a considerable state of excitement at the time , and although death might not ensue afterwards . Now , before the passing of this aot

      of parliament , the prisoner could not have been con / - victed of felony , unless there was the intention to commit murder , and the offence would not have amounted to more tban a common ass&alt ; but , in consequence of the great number of cases of this kind th » t occurred , it was found necessary for the legislature to enact some measure to pnt a stop to them ; and , therefore , they had declared that , if a person did commit some grievous bodily harm , either with a knife or other instrument , no matter whether it were done in a moment of excitement or not , then he was liable to be transported as a felon . —A Juror

      remarked that the wound in this case seemed to have been inflicted in self-defence . —The Coroner said , the prisoner ' s defence was perfect when she took the knife from the deceased , but she used it afterwards against himaelf . His ( the Coroner ' s ) opinion was , that the jury would be right in sending the prisoner for trial upon the higher charge—that of murder . It would be quite competent , ! supposing the Judge should see any thing in the circumstances to render it a case of manslaughter , to give directions to the Grand Jury to that effect ; and , for the Jury , although the prisoner was indicted for murder , to find a bill for manslaughter . \

      Mr . Taylor said , there was bo opportunity of getting bail for murder , which was an j important consideration . As the Judges were now ia Liverpool , bail might be got for manslaughter . The Coroner observed thai that circumstance could not influence the Jury , who must give their verdict according to the evidenoe . . The Jury then consulted for about a quarter of an hour , and returned a verdict of " Wilful murder " against the prisoner ; whereupon the Coroner made out his warrant for her committal to Kirkdale , to take her trial at the next assizes . :
