jJaitos—AZamttnanudwu for Ihe Chartists of this locality art , for the nod month , to be addressed to Mr . JaPvi Beaiy , Ha&teg i * , Maiion . Josh Bates , Nxjbsebt-hsb , Halifax , writes io ssafihaiin the account of the rascally treatment pursued by two of ihe Halifax PoUee towards Mars -and' Hannah Lassey , as detailed in our paper of June 2 A . a mistake was modem repre ' seating Seed , the worsted inspector , as the man { he -Policebrought io tad them in their insults and outrages upon a respectable old -iceman , stceniy-two years of age , and her daughter . The mistake arose thus i when the Police had the parts "in tow ? one of them sold "' send for Seed , the inspector ; " and in seme Jive minutes a big , iurhf , bull headed fellow triads las
appeurance , and < xmduclcdhimself as before detailed-The old woman-did not Jmow him ; butfrom tehat had before passed , she concluded it was Skkd . There are , however , two Inspectors \ and it-was " Whhwobih , and not Seed , that aided the Policemen in their gallant endeavours vpon the old tcoman and her daughter . In taking from them Pie -warp and weft they were carrying home to weave , they tore a netp sUk handkerchief tmd a shawl almDsl to pieces ; and othencis iehaved in a brutal manner . Mr . Seed might veilwish io wash his hands of the affair : though in doing so , if -would have been more truthful had lie slated in his letter to Mr .

THE LADIES' WOEK TABLE BOOK ; containing clear and practical instructions in Plain and Fancy Needlework , Embroidering , Knitting , Netting , Crotchet and Tatting , with numerous Engravings illustrative of the various stitches in those osefn ] and fashionable employments , Second Thousand . London : H . G . Clarke and Co ., 66 , Old Bailey . ' An exceedingly neat well got op volume , which should be in the hands of every female : not less handy for the educated woman of superior circumstances than useful for the neglected child of poverty and labour . The author has a happy knack of putting every thing , even the most simple , into pleasing language and an . instructive form . The following extracts from the introduction will shew the reader something of both the plan and character of the work : —
" If it be true that * home scenes are rendered happy or miserable , in proportion to the good or evil influence exercised over them by womanj—as sister , wife , or mother '—it will be admitted as a fact of the utmost Importance , that every thing should be done to improve the taste , cultivate' the understanding , and elevate the character of those * high priestesses * of onr domestic sanctuaries . The page of history informs ns , that the progress of ; any nation in morals , civilization , and refinement , is just in proportion to the elevated or degraded position in which woman is placed in society ; and the Bame instructive volume will enable us to perceive , that the fandfal creations of the needle , have exerted a marked influence over the pnrsnils and destinies of
man . " To blend the useful with the ornamental , and to exhibit the gushings forth of mind , vitalised by the warm and glowing affections of the heart , is the peculiar honour and sacred destiny of woman Without her influence , life would be arrayed in sables , and the proud lords of the creation would be infinitely more miserable and helpless than the beasts that perish . To render , then , those * terrestrial ange ls' all that our fondest wishes could desire , or our most vivid imaginations picture , must be , under any circumstances , a pleasing and delightful employmeut ; while , for a father or a brother to behold her returning all the care bestowed npon her by } the thousand offices of love , to the performance of which she aloiie is equal , is doubtless one of the most ; exalted sources of human felicity . " Then follows a dissertation on the uses of the needle , concluding thus :
•* The needle is also capable of becoming an important monitor to the female heart ; and we would impress this trnth seriously npon their recollection , that as there is * Sermons in stones , And good in every thing / So the needle tbey so often use , is , or may be , a silent bnt salutary moral teacher . They all know that however good the « ye of a needle may be , if it were rusted and pointless , it would be of little nse . Let them also recollect , that though it may possess the finest point and polish in the world , if destitute of the eye , it would be of no use at all . The lesson we wish them to derive from hence is this , that as it is the eye which holds the thread , and that it is by
the thread alone that the needle becomes useful , so it is the eye of intelligence , directed to the attainment of nsefnl ends , that gives all the real value to the point and polish , which is so much admired in the educated female . ; and that whhont the intellectoal powers of tike mind be engaged in the pursuits of goodness , all other endowments will be nselesb to their possessor . Let them learn also , not to despise such of their companions as , though intelligent and useful , are neither possessed of wit or elegance equal to their own . Circumstances may have rendered them , like the needle , rosty and pointless ; but Ahe eye of intelligence is there , and tbey may still be nsefiiL
" The want of a work containing clear instructions without unnecessary diffuBeness , and by which ; the uninitiated may become their own instructors , has long been sensibly felt ; and this want , the following pages are intended to supply . Ova aim is , not to make young ladies servile copyists , bnt to lead them to the formation of habits of thought and reflection , which may issue in higher attainments than the knitting of a shawl , or the netting of a purse . ** "We are anxious to render elegant amusements conducive to the attainment of moral ends ; and to lay that foundation of intellectual superiority and
affectionate regard , for the comfort and happiness ef others , which can alone give light and animation , sweetness and blooming freshness , to the interesting scenes of future life . All engagements , which are calculated to elevate , soften , and harmonics the human character , have this tendency ; and it is in ihe assured conviction that the employments here treated of , are , when cultivated is due subordination to higher dnties , well adapted to seenre these objects , and to promote these domestic ends , that the Ladies ' "Work Table Book nas been prepared , and is now presented to the lovely danghters of England .

XiEEDS . —Typcgeaphers' Anniversary . —The Leeds Branch of the Sfortheru Union Typographical Society celebrated their anniversary on Monday , at that favourite inn of plenty—the John © 'Gaunt—the pride of as jolly and good-Dalured a host aad hostess ( Mr . and Mrs . Moraton ) as ever catered for the sons of toil in days of yore . This truly unique and elegantly furnished honseis located on the Poutefraot road , some four miles from this town . It commands an extensive view of the country adjacent , which is richly adorned withiall that is useful and beautiful in Nature ' s power to ' bestow—emitting , as it were , from its luxuriant bed , in one direction , the timehonoured turret of Rothwell church , and , in another , that of the spire of OoJton church , which never fails to excite , on account of its completeness of architectural design , stained glass windows , &c , the silent
admiration of all who have the taste to visit it . It was in this really delightful suburban retreat that the members of as gigantio a machine ( the Press ) as was ever wielded in this or any other country , chose to regale themselves—and they were not disappointed ; for the viands were good , choicely selected , and abundant . After the cloth was removed ^ the usual toasts were drank and responded to with a warmth of feeling that did credit alike to head and heart . In the course of the evening , which was very beautiful , the company , with one accord , lent themselves to a variety of pastimes , tho sight of which was calculated to " bring back the torpid breast of age to long-forgotten rapture . " Thus proceeded the diversions of this happy meeting till night begun to draw her murky mantle over the goodly scene , when it broke up , each member highly pleased with the Dast . —Correspondent .
Fathsb Matthew and the Teetotal Cause . — The last week has been a glorious one for all who are friendly to the humanizing and elevation of the degraded and depraved victims of bad associations and bad institutions . Father Mathew has been amongst as ; and has administered the pledge of tempehanck to thousands upon thousands in the Wesfc-Kiding of Yorkshire ; who rwill hereafter have to bless the day that brought him to our towns , and saw them forsake the maddening cup of vice and crime for the divine pleasures and inestimable advantages of intellectual pursuits . He has severally visited York , Leeds , Bradford , Huddersfield , Halifax , &c , &c ; and everywhere have his steps been marked by high promise of great moral amelioration . May Godspeed him on his course !
" Adventures of a Portmanteau . "—Under this head , a few week 3 ago , we inserted an account of the stealing of a portmanteau belonging to a Mr . James Burn , from a railway carriage , on its arrival at the station , by a woman named Jane Aspinall , who was committed to take her trial for the offence She was arraigned at the Leeds borough sessions * when , in cross-examining the prosecutor , Mr Wilkins , elicited that his real name was James William Burn ; and as the indictment only described him as James Burn , it could not be sustained , but fell to the ground ; another indictment in the man's proper name being ordered to be preferred . The Grand Jury , not ; having been discharged , this was done , and the prisoner was again arraigned , and under the advice of her counsel put in a 7
special plea of antrefois acquit . ' This led to an argument ; Mr . Wilkins and Mr . Pashley contending that as the Jury had found the prisoner not guilty of stealing the property named in the indictment , as belonging to James Burn , she could not be again tried again for stealing the same property belonging to James William Burn . The prosecutor again underwent a long asd severe examination , and at length it was put to the Jury by the Learned Deputy Recorder , Robert Hall , Esq ., whether the prosecutor was known as James Burn , or as James Wm . Burn . The Jury ibnnd that he was bent known as James Burn , that being the name in which he transacted all his business , and the woman was therefore a « squitled . The prosecutor got his portmanteau and clothes , but is minna his £ 84 , four silver watches , and seven silver watch guards .
XTOVrTlNGBAlXX . —On Monday evening last , several thousand persons met in the Market place to hear the news foom America , relative to the part the Americans are taking in the agitation for a Repeal of the Irish BegiBlatiue Union . After the reading , Mr . J . Barbel in an eloquent speech , proposed the following resolution : — " That this meeting views with extreme regret , mingled with indignation , the attempts of the Tory Government of this country to put down the rising spirit of liberty in Ireland , instead of ' conceding' to that injured and long { oppressed country her rights . " The Northern Star will be read in the Market-place on Monday evening next , at eight o'clock .
SHEFFIELD . —The late Storm . —The effects of tbe late storm are still on all sides to be seen ; glass cannot be got in sufficient quantities to effect an immediate repair of tbe damage . The loss at the Botanical Gardens will be great , a hundred pounds , it is said , will not make good the destruction caused by the bullets of hail . The corn , peas , and potatoes have suffered severely , immense quantities having been destroyed . BBZGHOUSE . —The Independent Obdeb of the Goldkn Fleece , B . U . —A lodge of the above order was opened on Saturday , tbe 8 th of July , at the house of Mr . Holt , the Duke of York , in Raistrick , near Brighouse , when a number of respectable individuals were admitted .
The Halifax PAKniciDE . —The Parricide haa not yet been found . A verdict of " Wilful Murder " has been returned against him . Most likely he may have added to his crime by destroying himself . BRADFORD . —The following resolution was adopted at a meeting of the Bradford Short Time Committee , held at the New Inn , on Friday evening the 8 th instant : — " That whereas information has been communicated to this Committee that several worsted spinners and manufacturers in this town and neighbourhood are overworking children and young persons in their employ , and in various other ways encroaching upon the provisions of the Factories' Regulation Act , we do resolve to watch their proceedings , and obtain such information as will enable them to bring the offending parties to justice . " ;
Woolcombers' Wages—One of the manufacturers of the nameof Milnea , having promised to the woolcombers in his employ an advance of wages , for a Fortnight ; and if the rest of the masters could be induced to advance , he would continue the promised increase of wages ; rthis news spread rapidly through the whole body of woplcombors , and the result was a very large meeting of the trade , held near the Temperance Hall , and three persons
appointed as a deputation to visit the masters , and by reason and argument induce them to advance the wages . A resolution was unanimously adopted to hold a public meeting on Monday evening at seven o ' clock on the same place , to be called by requisition . The chairman dissolved the meeting , urging them to use every means in their power to get up a large meeting of the trade , and use no threat or intimidation of any kind , to any employer , or any other person in any way connected with the employers .

YORK CASTLE-Thursday , July 13 . At twelve o ' clock today , Mr . Justice Cresswell took his seat in the Crown Court , and Mr . Justice Wightman atj'Nisi Prius . The names of the magistrates of the three ridings having been called over , the following gentlemen were empanuelied on the

Matthew Wilson , junior , of Eshton Hall , Esquire John Woodall , of Scarbrough , Esquirei
Mr . Justice Cresswell then delivered the charge to the Grand Jury . He said , Gentlemen of the Grand Jury . I have to regret that , having -now for the first time tbe honour of addressing a Grand Jury of this county , I cannot congratulate you on the state of the calendar with which wo have to deal , or the state of the county in general , with reference to crime . The calendar into { which which we are called upon to inquire , contains no less than 131 criminals : and by the returns published by order of her Majesty a Secretary of State for the Home Department , of the number of criminal offenders committed , it appears that during the last seven years , the commitments within the counties of York , Lancaster , Chester , Lincoln , and Surrey , have doubled ; thus exhibiting within that short space of time , an , increase of commitments that is undoubtedly very discouraging . I
would fain hope that this is in part to be attributed to the t s-tablishmcn v of a more vigilant system of police ; but still I car . uot suppose that the whole 13 to be acc 6 uhted for ia that way ; and wo must come to the \ conclusion that there has been a great and rapid increase of crime during thai short period . There is one ; short observation in the report , with reference to the different classes into which the prisoners have been divided , as to the amount of instruction they have received , to which I wish to call your atten-tion . The returns as to the degree of instruction possessed by persons committed as criminals during the past year , show a continuance of the same results as in the preceding year , namely , a decrease in the number of totally nuinstructed criminals , and an increase in the number of those who have received tbe smallest amount of instruction . At the same time there was
a gradual decrease in the number of those who were able to read and write well , so that the returns may be considered as evidencing tho general spread of instruction , and its favourable results with regard to those who had to any considerable extent received the benefits of education . I am addressing gentlemen of station and intelligence connected with the county , and who are no doubt interested by inclination as well asf by duty , to promote the instruction and morality of the people ; aud I shall , therefore , offer no further observations on this subject . But I
beg to press on your consideration the statistical account given in thia parliamentary report , of the state of the country , with respect to orime , aud to impress upon you the duty of exerting yourselves to produce a better return for the future . With respect to the calendar , it is not necessary for me to trouble you with many observations : for , though it contains a long list of criminals , and though many of the offences imputed to the prisoners wear a serious aspect , yet they are generally simple in their character , and the law with respect to them is perfectly clear . . '¦;
[ His Lordship then referred to some of the oases in the Calendar , commenting on their several points ; but as they were nothing out of the ordinary course , it is not worth while to oooupy epace with the remainder of hia observations . At the dose the Grand Jury retired to their room , and soon after appeared in Court with a batch of True Bills . ] The following cases were then proceeded with : — Wm . Marsden , 17 , pleaded guilty ; to having burglariously entered the dwelling-borise of Jonathan Tutin , at Sheffield , on the 31 st of March last , and stolen therefrom thirty-one farthings , a pair of gloves , and a silk bag . —Sentence deferred . Matthew Fewster , 30 , was convicted of having burglariously broken into tbe dwelling-house of John i Singleton , of Givendale , near Pooklingtoii , and stolen therefrom various property . He was sentenced to four months' imprisonment , with hard labour . ' * ~
CUTTING AND MAIMING AT PATKLEY BRIDGE . John Sinkler , 32 , was charged with cutting and maiming Thomas Dunsdale , with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm . Mr . BL . 4 NSH . iBD and Mr . Puti-EiNB were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr . Deakslei * defended the prisoner . The circumstances were these : —In the month of September , 1831 , Mr . Samuel Winn , then a police officer at Ripon , had a warrant entrusted to him for the apprehension of the prisoner ' s brother , i-lisha Sulkier . To assist him in the execution of that warrant , he took with : him Thomas Sweeting , Tnomas Dundale , and Joseph Binns . The party proceeded to the house of a person named More , who resided near Pately Bridge , and who was
father-in-law to Elitsha Sinkler ; here they found him and" took Kim into custody . They were conveying him to Ripon , when tho prisoner and a man named Longthorne came ap and threatened them , if the prisoner was not libetattid , to rip them up . " Dinsdale had then the prisoner in custody , and during a severe struggle which ensued he was severely wounded with a knife at the back of his hand and in various parts of his ! body . Elisha Sinkler was then liberated , and got away ; but , beiiig afterwards' re-captured , he was tried at the assizs in 1831 , and received sentence of death , which was afterwards commuted to transportation
for life . Our readers will remember , that , himpg been found again at large in this country , he was again tried at the last spring assizes for this countyf or that offence , and was again sentenced to be transported for life . His brother , the present prisoner , has , been in the neighbourhood \ of Pateley Bridge ever since that period , but , oh account of his desperate character , he has hitherto escaped punishment . Ho was taken at unawares shortly after tho last assizes . All these facts were ' proved in the course of along trial , and after a lengthy , address from Mr . Dearsley , on the prisoner ' s bebalf , he was found : Guilty by the Jury . —Sentence wa 3 deferred . -
i SELLING BASE COIN . Thomas Holden , 36 , was charged with having on t ?? e 28 Ji of August , 1842 . and on the 10 th of September , 1842 , at Laagfield , in the West Riding , feloniously sold and put off , to one John Robinson acott , four pieces of I counterfeit coin , resembling sovereigns , well-knowing them to be false and counterfeit . ~ > ¦ ¦ Sir G&egoby Lfwiw , Q ,. C . and Mr . Pollock were for the prosecution ; the prosecutor was defended by Mr . Wilk . ins . 1 In the month ! of August last , in consequence of information received by Mr , Phoenix , of the Rochdale .

NISI PRIUS COURT ^ Thphsdat , July 13 . Before Mr . Justice Wightman , Mr . Justice Wightman took his seat on the Bench in this Court at twelve o ' clock . Roe d . Lambert , v . Rose . Mr . Higgin 9 and Mr . Webster , were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr . Knowles , Q , C ., and Mr . Cbompton for the defence . i This was an action of ejectment , brought to recover possession of a publio house and premises , in the Market PJaoe , at Thifsk , which was devised by the lessor of the plaintiff to the defendant , Mrs . Mary Rose , on the 6 th of April , 1839 , at a quarterly rent of . £ 27 12 * ., with a proviso that should there be any arrear of rent for a period off twenty-one days after it
became due , the landlord was to be at liberty to execute . The rent had become : in arrear , and on the 6 th of October 1842 , noticejto quit the premises on the 6 th of April , 1843 , was served upon the defendant . For the defence it was contended that the plaintiff , who was a { brewer and cpaltster , on the 14 th of December last , had withdrawn the notice to quit , and had ( promised the defendant that if she would let him have her barley as she had been in the habit of doing , he did not wish her to leave , as he could not desire a better tenant , and he would repair the premises for her . Sixteen quarters and a half of barley were delivered to the plaintiff , at £ 1 8 s . per quarter , in the month of December , and £ 10 were stated to have b ' een paid in money ; the whole of which was agreed to ba taken for the arrear
of rent then due . It was al 3 o shown that the defendant and her husband had occupied the premises for nearly twenty years . There were some discrepancies hi the evidence for tho defence , and Mr . Hoggins , in reply , agreed thiat the waiver not being in writing , but simply on parole , was net admissible in point of law ; bat this was overruled , if the Jury were of opinion that it had been waived at all . The Learned Judge summed up the case very fully and impartially , and after a short consultation , the Jury returned a verdict For the plaintiff . Mr- Hqggixs applied to the Court to grant immediate execution , in consequence of the very bad state of repair into which ] the premises bad been suffered to run . There being another case between the partieB , the Judge requested the application to stand over for the present , j

" REBECCA" IN WALES . CabiIabthen , July 4 . —I find that the result I Mr . Maule ' s attendance here is that the Government will take the prosecutions on themselves '; and , as far as I can learn , the Solicitor-General will attend o the part of the Crown at tho forthcoming trials of those concerned in the riot here on the 19 th ultimo . The depositions nave been placed in tbe hands of Mr . Maule and Mr . Raven , who attends with him , and those functionaries are now engaged in preparing the necessary indictments . A woman of the name of Frances Evans was last night apprehended at Cilgwynuoha , and examined to-day before a full bench of magistrates , charged with having participated in the riot at Carmarthen workhouse , and witn having incited and led the mob on that occasion . Mr . M&ale and Mr . Karen attended the examination , which was conducted in Welch , as the prisoner was unacquainted with English .
Sarah Thomas , the schoolmistress ef the Union workhouse , being sworn , deposed to having been at the workhouse on Monday , June 19 ch , when the riot took place , and the mob broke into the Hall . It was at about one o ' clock in the day . The mod marched in , and began beating the tables , &c , with staves , which they had in their hands . Witness ran up into the school-room , where the cbildren , who were much alarmed , were crying . Two men , one of whom she thought she could identify , followed her there . They said they had no wish to hurt the children , but to let them out . Witness repliedthat the children had no homes , and would be far better off there . The men said they had applied for redress , and that now they would have redress by force themselves ; and one of them said he would spill every drop of blood in his body before they
would lose the day , for they did not fear the military . The men then went out into another part of the house . Shortly afterwards witness saw tbe prisoner Fanny Evans , whom she knew from her having been in the workhouse a short time previously She was leading the mob up stairs . Witness asked her if she was not ashamed of herself , to which the prisoner replied , that she had seen enough of the workhouse , and was determined to go on with it . A female in the workhouse then forced the prisoner down stairs , and witness afterwards saw her dancing with violent gestures on the table in the hall . The door of witness ' s room was broken open , and she was put in fear of her life * . She saw the violence of the mob increasing , and believed that if the military had not arrived when they did , the workhouse would have been pulled down or destroyed .
Another witness having given similar testimony , the prisoner , who declined saying anything , was held , to bail to appear and take her trial at the assizes . The attack upon and destruction of the gates not only is continued with increased daring , but is spreading into a wider locality . Not only have they levelled the principal gates in Carmarthenshire , bnt the Work of destruction ia going on in Cardiganshire and Pembrokeshire , and yet not a single individual has been apprehended . A night or two since they marched in very large numbers to the Scleddy gate , near Fishguard ( where the French landed in 1798 ) , and in a very short ? ime demolished the gates , posts , and houses , and
broke , the toll boards , &c , info pieces so small that in the morning not a piece was discovered larger than would be fit for matchwood . After the work of destruction had been completed , the whole party left in the direction of the H&verfordwestroad . On the same night they attacked the Fishguard Hill-gate , which tbey also broke in pieces ; they then proceeded to the toll-bar at the other end of Fishguard , where they attacked the toll-keeper ' s house , the windows of which they demolished . Things have now reached such a pass , that it is thought by respectable persons of the neighbourhood , that unless stopped , both private property and persons travelling on the roads will shortly be rendered very insecure .
They appear now to have adopted plans to harass the soldiery . Last night , from information received , the troop of the 4 th Dragoons were ordered to mount at eleven o ' clock , to march to some gate' in the neighbourhood ; just , however , as the men wete about to start at a gallop , subsequent information was received which prevented their proceeding . The troop of Dragoons at St . dear ' s were also ont npon the roads all night , lights having been shown at various spots which induced them to believe that an attack was being made on gates in different situations . —7 ¥ mes , Friday .
