      Mt Beloved Fbietds , —I make no doubt that I shall have a good dinner upon" Christmas Day but the Jbest saace that could be sers-ed ^ p with it would he the assurance . that--the families of JDJ i » ther CSarHste trio are bow Buffering imprisonment foi their principles , were also sure of a good dinner . I have appealed to you frequently on behalf of the principles , and how can I at this season qf-the year refrain from begging of you on behalf of those who are mnsrmgfrom the advocacy of their principles Tiaiihsiiatiqnal taobate -wiU be a bumper-1 have every reason to believe , because erery man who saoscnbes his mife will feel assured that he will have

      more than a corresponding return presented in the advance of his principles . Bnt then , can we be said to love the principles if we neglect those whose families are Buffering from devotion to our cause Or can our . 3 , 500 , 000 BigBaiurea to ihe National Petition be considered genuine , if not one in fifty of that number is prepared to back Ms signature with a penny to add to the comforts , or rather to the mere necessaries of their fellow creatures ? I receive * daily , heartrending appeals . Irczn the Tictim Fund Committee on behalf of the snfferers . Let is then , my friends , while we work for the principle , have a care of those who bare suffered for it . There was a

      time when I w& 3 able to stand paymaster to the whole ^ regiment of Chartists , and then 1 did the work myself j bnt oppression , persecution , and your neglect of jour own bnsiness , has nearly dried the old cow up , and now I am compelled to appeal to yonrselres to do your own business . Yon will find by the address of the Executive , that we are about to ^ et to work in earnest , and to commence the year 1844 , with Tigonr and resolution , while I feel convinced that our exertions for the three months previous to the meeting of the Convention , will , if baeked by yon , go far to realise our hopes , and at all events present fcueh a front to corruption , as will convince our antagonists thftt , upon the next General Election , laboniMnusi

      bare at least twenty undefiled and unpurchasahle representatives of its own body to speak for it in the House of Commons . It is alt important that __ the next Convention shoold settle the question of Chartism , by so unequivocal an expression of obi principles as -will cut ail chance of co-operation save upon those principles from the middle classes . Mr . Sturge may advocate his nameless project . AHwood may bluster about his One Pound Notes : and Sharman Crawford may ^ talk of the still greater folly of withholding the supplies from Governments , whose very existence depends upon majorities to Tote those supplies to themselves . The League may talk of

      cheap bread : but I tell you that Sturgeism , Attwoodism , Crawfordism , and Leagnism , are one and all bnt sections of Capitalism , Free Tradei £ m , and Whiggism ; and therefore I , one , shall hold myself altogether aloof from the agitation sought to be got "up by those crotchet-mongers . It is no use for men to write to me about the practicability of Crawfqrd's scheme , and other schemes ,, as a means of f "ring increased vigour and freshness to Chartism look "with pity , if not with suspicion and contempt , upon old birds who can be caught with such chaff . I tell you that there are not 100 men in all England possessing £ 5 , 060 each who woald not rather fight up to their knee 3 in blood than see the Charter the l » w of the land .

      Sow , lake that from me , and believe it , for this reason , that their whole traffic is in your labour ; and they will preserve that traffic to their own use , "behoof , and benefit , aa . long as they can . At one time they would ' ni . join us because we were physical-force Chartists—now they won ' t join us because we are not intellectual Chartists ; and let me tell yon , that they will never join us until they see that we are so organised that we ^» n beat them morally or physically ; and then they will join us . It is all nonsense , moonshine , and blarney to talk of labour ever gaining any advantage from the advocacy *> f those who . plunder-the labourer . "Why just think , all the agitation of those fellows now arises ont of the complaint that they can't make enough of profit upon labour , while * ny constant

      endeavour has been , and is , to take their knuckles ont of tbe poor man ' s throat . Just read tbe manner in which the Coal King ' s of Durham have treated their slaves , and ask yourselves what law compete them to do so . See the admissions that landlord ' s and parsoBS are obliged to make relative to the condition of the agricultural . labourers , lo which no argument but those burning words of Mi . Swing could haTe aronsed them . See the fact of improved trade and diminished wages , and here you have the whole of your grievances set before you at a simple j iew ,. and I ask which of the master classes will join yon in any attempt to redress those grievances , and which of them is there that has noi a direct interest in their preservation ? A £ »™ j then , I tell

      THE EXECUTITE TO THE CHARTIST BODY . In compliance with the desire Tery generally expressed that the whole expence of the lecturing staff EhoHld be paid out of the General Fnnd we entirely concur ; and should the amount oT the Nationai Tribute enable us to give effect to the . popular will , in this respect , we shall most cheerfully comply : while 5 t mnst be borne in mind that the lecturers will be engaged for three months , and that the Executive would be placed in an awkward position by the non-fulfilment of their pecuniary engagements . From the communications which we have received from numerous localities , we are lead

      to the anticipation that we shall be enabled to carry our lecturing arrangements even toa-greater extent than we originally anticipated . Being mosi axLSJons to iscorporaie our Scotch brethren thoroughly within the union , we beg to remind them that they have amongst them such men as Mr . John M Crae , Mr . Andrew Wardrop , and others whose services might be enlisted and engaged , by exchanging their services for ihose of their English brethren . We therefore invite the Chartists of Gia ££ © w and district , m Aberdeen and oistrict , and © f Edinburgh and district to take the matter into their consideration and to communicate with the General Secretary , whose address is " 2431 , Temple-Bar , London , upon the snbject .

      Those roTvns iaring carfl 3 which they hare not disposed of during ihe present quarter can by appli-« snon to the Secretary , as above , stating the number Teqnired , be supplied twith printed slips rendering them available for tbe present quarter .

      YORKSHIRE . GAOL DELIVERY . ( Continued from our third Page- J Mr . Wilki 5 s then addressed the jury for the prisoner in an excellent speech . He stated that great credit was due to his learned friend Mr . Hall for the temperate and judicious manner in which , as on all other occasions , he had opened this case to the jury . Bnt notwithstanding the kindness of his learned friend , and notwithstanding his laudable attempt to keep oot of his ( Mr . Wilkins ' s ) way every difficulty he could remove , the jury would be of opionion that the poor vrretdh , whose intests had . been placed in his hands , laboured under extreme disadvantages , and had , as in the language of Mr . Hall , to meet one of the most formidable charged that can be brought

      against any man . Had it not been for tbe kindness of his Lordship , who handed to him the depositions , he would not have been acquainted with the facts of this case , and it was not until early that morning that he received any intimation from the poor fellow himself , as a guide for him in conducting this case . He ( Mr . Wilkins ) asked for no sympathy at the hands of the jury , he was there in the discharge of his duty , aad he could only be expected to discharge that duty according to the means which had been furnished to him by his client , bnt he did ask for every indulgence and for every sympathy to this poor prisoner , whose situation had rendered him friendless , penny less , despised , and rejected by all who had heard of this case . He stood there to

      meet the most dreadful charge that can be brought against any man—that of having destroyed his own father . And surely when they heard that charge , respect for their common : humanity would prompt them to look about for some extenuating circumstances in the case . He should be able to show , at any rate , thai the prisoner-was much entitled to their pity , and that altbongh his father might have unfortunately fallen from his hand , the crime itself did not appear without some extenuating circumstances , and some circumstances which would steal their way to the hearts of the jury , and elicit from them a desire that mercy should be extended towards the

      prisoner . It appeared , from the simple history which the prisoner had laid before him , that at five years of age his mother died , leaving him and two other children to the care of his father . And surely if he might believe the story which the prisoner had told—land there -were circumstances in tbe case which justified him in so doing)—it would appear that he had experienced nothing from the hands of his father , but the most unmitigated and the most unceasing cruelty , and had experienced nothing from him but that which was calculated to provoke and irritate him , and not that affection which ought to characterise the conduct of a fa * her towards his child . For years the prisoner worked hard , and

      gained more then was sufficient for his own wants . His father abused his earnings , and at times reduced him almost to starvation . When the prisoner was sixteen 5 ears of age he earned 18 s . per week , and on one occasion not having tasted anything but water porridge for several weeks , ' he received his own wages and determined , if possible , to get some meat for himself . When the prisoner got home , the father took a large wooden rolling pin and beat him within an inch of his life , took from him his money , and then went out , locking the door after him . The neighbours having heard a noise went to the house to ascertain what was the matter , but the poor fellow could not answer but with his groans . The father dragged him out of bed , ill as he was , and

      : compelled him to work far beyond the hour of midnight . On the foliowi ng morning he escaped from his father and went to Wakefield , where he obtained ; employment and worked there for nearly three ! years , and then it was , as they wonldalready gather ; from the questions he had put to the witnesses , that 1 it was thought the father had murdered him . The neighbours having heard the father beating him in a : very cruel way , and he having subsequently disap-• peared , then it was that the neighbours , being prompted by humanity , caused the father to be apprehended , and to be taken before the magistrates . I He declared his innocence of the crime , and by some means the boy was found at Wakefield . But such i were the proofs of tbe father ' a cruelty that the

      ma-1 gistnles bonnd Mm over to keep rhe peace to his f own child . Shortly after this time , the prisoner , ! still wishing if possible to gain the affections of his father , being in good work he went lo Wakefield , and got his lather some work in the shop where he was employed . On five differeut occaeions the father spoiled his pieces , and on every occasion tbe son : was called upon to mate ^ ood xhe loss caused by : his parent ' s iultmperance and carelessness . At last ; tbe prisoner could bear it no longer , and he en-; listed into the * 20 th regiment . Even there ; the father could not allow him to rest , and ; he wrote letters to his son tempting him to desert , i and at the instigation of the father he did I desert . From that Tery moment the father used this

      ' circumstance as a cause for terror and extortion , compelling the son to work and toil for him , and whenever he cemplained the father invariably held j this desertion in ierrorem over his head , and told him that if he did not give him money he would inform againBt him . The prisoner got married , his wife proi duced children , and she could not bear to see her ' children robbed to support the old man in his idle-; ness ; and hence arose that unusual litigation and j strife between the parties , which had been alluded I to . On the day in question the fa . her went to the : house , and the Jury would remember that the prii soner * s wife went into a neighbour ' s house , the ¦ father having threatened to take her life . The neigh-; bour went into the house , and there he found the

      old man in a perfect sfate of fury , cursing and swearing , and Ubing the most vituperative language . In the midst of that in came the husband , and what was the statement the wife made to him Why , she tells him that the father had beei > threatening to take her life . The Ftory the prisoner had told him ( Mr . Wilkins ) was ihis . He Baid that the wife had so repeatedly complained of the old man ' s idleness , and his having to support him in that idleness , and had so often resented his extortion , that the father had tempted the prisoner more than once to take her life . He had even

      carried i ; further , for he himself threatened to take her life , and he told the prisoner that he had got a razor for that purpose . The Learned Counsel made gome remarks upon the evidence which had been adduced on the part of the prosecution , arguing that there was no premeditation on the part of the prisoner , and that the jury would be justified , under all the circumstances of the case , to reduce the crime of murder to that of manslaughter . He disclaimed any intention of justifying the offence , and concluded by Easing , that if be succeeded in saving this unhappy man ' life , he should think , at any rate , that he hstd not lived in vain .

      The Learned Jcdge then minutely summed up , fuily i-tating the law as regards-tho crimes of murder and manslaughter , and showing that the using of meie "words ¦ were not a sofficknt provocation to reduce the crime of murder to manslaughter . The Jury then retired , and after a quarter of an hour , returned into Court with a verdict of Guilty . The prisoner said that many a person had been tried there who vtere innocent ol such crimes as his , and condemned to death , and the guilty parties been allowed to escapr . He could not say that he was not guilty of doing tbi 3 , bnt he was not guilty of murder . He once bad a mothtr , three brothers , and a sister , who had all come to their death from the punishment his father had i » flicted upon them . Jt ¦ was a hard thing for him to undergo pnnishment on

      account of his father . He was a poor man , and he had a wife and two children , whom te was now about to leave to the wide world , and bo home to go to . Some other of the family , if they had been living , might have come to the same end . His children were about to be left fatherless , and with no one to instruct them . He was then standing before an earlhJj judge , but there was a day coming when we Bhall all have to come before the judgment seat of Christ , who knows who is guilty and who is not , and he should like his Lords-hip to take this fact into bib consideration before be passed sentence , because he thought he was not guiity of murder . He had no persons to call 10 speak on hiB behalf , as it was out of their power to raise tbe money to state his case befere the jury .

      His Lordship then assumed the black cap , and proceeded to pass sentence as follows : —Joseph Dobson , yon have been found guilty of tbe offence of wilful murder , committed on your own father , and I am sorry to say I cannot see any ground on which the Jury could possibly have come to any other conclusion . Yonr act appeare to haTe been one of considerable deliberation , as you had plenty of time to cool , and opportunity was given yoa after you had once attempted to discharge the gnu , but yon repeated the thing , and effected your purpose . If you hare entertained resentment towards yonr father for his conduct to your mother many years ago , at

      rather Ebows that your act on this occiunon was not the result of any sudden impulse arising in the mind ; and an old animosity against your fathercannot be any ground for believing the offence to be other than wUinl murdtr . I have only one duty io perform , and I cannot suggest any probability of £ « » e « J > oi thecrowu beiflg extended toyou ^ nerefore ^ lwonld strongly Tecommend yon to jnako nBe oJ the short time you have to rtmain in this world in ccnsideriBg wnai 70 &n men is the most important concern , but to yon tbe CEly concrm .

      and this is one of those circumstances whict must be a great enhancement of the mental sufjftrings which the prospect of fatal punishment inuBt have produced already . It is one of the greatest miseries which attend criminal conduct , and one of those things which will assist in making your ease a warning to others . I can do no more than pass upon yen the sentence which the law prescribes , and cannot encourage you to any hope of meroy in this world . The sentence of the Court therefore is , that you be taken to the place from whence you came , and from thence to the place of execution , and that you be there hanged by the neck until you be dead , and that your body be buried within the precincts of the prison in which you have been confined , and may God have moTcy on your soul . The prisoner then made another statement , in which he contradicted the evidence for the prosf cution in a few particulars , aud then retired from the . dock . ¦ ¦ '

      His conduct during the trial was distinguished by considerable composure , and with the exception of a few sighs , he manifested very little disquietude .

      HOPSEBREAK . ING , James Morion , 26 , John George Deverdeus , 22 , and Michael Child % 30 , were charged with having on the 28 £ h of August last , at Leeds , broken-into the dwelling-houEe of Esther Hmd ' s and Charlotte Taylor , and stolen therefrom 4 silver ; watoht two silver table spoons , a pair of eilver sugar tongs , twq gold rings , and other articles .

She listened some time , when tbe men

      came out of the room , aud were proceeding up stairs , when Mrs . Hinds said " Whatever are you doing there V She saw the face of Deverdeus , who went by the name of ' Jim Crow , " and when she spoke be blew a candle out which he was carrying . Mrs . Hinds called for assistance , and the men ran , away . The boxes in tbe house were found to have been broken open , and the property mentioned in the indictment was missing . Miss Taylor had been at her sister ' s , who is married to a person named John Child , who , at that time , kept the Masons' Arms beer house in Lady-lane , and in ¦ which house the whole of the prisoners had been in the course of the afternoon and evening . Child called a witness £ 0 prove an alibi . Both the other prisoners said in defence that they were in bed at the time of tbe robbery . The jury found Morton and Child . Not Guilty , and Devfltdeus Guilty . ' — Sentence deferred .

The prisoner presented the pistol in his face and said , " Deliver up your money , or you will dio in a moment . " Prosecutor turned sharply round to avoid him , and the prisoner . then struck him with the ircn over the hat , which was cut . Mr . Wilxirs . addressed the jury for the prisoner , contending that there was not sufficient proof of the prisoner's identity , and that this must belooked upon more as a lark than an intention to commit a robbery . —NotGuflty .

      William Champion , -14 , was charged with having , on the oih of October last , at Laughton-en-lo-Morthen , stolen a mare , the property of Charles Hibberd .

Mr . Ellis and Mr . Hall were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr . Wilkins defended the prisoner . The prosecutor is a joiner and builder , aud resides in Mark-lane , Leeds . At the time of the robbery his family were living at Oulton , and on the evening of the 8 ih of July , about seven o ' clock , himself and his wife left homo to goto Oulton , leaving the house

      in Leeds ? afely locked . On the following morning , it w& 8 found by Mrs . Bland , a neighbour of Massey ' s , that bis house had been broken open and ransacked , upon which she sent for Mr . Massey , and oa his arriral tbe property mentioned in the indictment was found to have been carried off . Information of the robbery was given to the police , but for some time no trace whatever of the robbery could be obtained , and it was not until the latter end of August that any clue could be got , when it was found that about the middle of July , the prisoner took a silver pint to the shop of Mr . Brown , engraver , in Cros 3 Court , Briggate , and by hia request he engraved thereupon the initials " J . A . C / ' When it was finished the pint was sent home , and the prisoner paid sixpence for the-engraving . The pint at that time had

      the appearance of having had other initials obliterated on the handle . Oa the 15 th of July , the prisoner was proved to have taken this pint , which had then the initials "J . A . C ., " to the shop of Mr . Gresham , in North-street , and offered it for sale , saying that it was his own , and that ib&tjmtials were those of Wb Trife and himself . MR Joshua Etches , salesman to Mr . Gresham , bought the pint , giving the prisoner fifty shillings fer it . He afterwards tcok some spoons , also marked " J . A . C" to the same shop and offered them for sale also . These spoons were what are called " Fiddle Pattern , " and appeared to have been recently engraved . This pint was afterwards again sold and was put up to be run for as a prize at Beeston _ races when it was won by Mr . Bower , butcher , Kirkgate , and was then seen by Mr . Massey , who claimed it as his , and gare information to the police , who

      Untitled Article

      took possession of the pintt and submitted it to I 0 & Spnune , watch-maker , in Boar-lane , who discovered thatitne' initials ; oii the handle , ^ hich , had been all but obliterated , had been M W . R . A . " Child was ' , ai . that time in prison on another charge , and on the pint being shown to him , he said he had had it in hia possession for three months before Massey ' s robbery was committed , and that he had drank , on different occasions , many a gallon of ale out of it ; The prisoner ' s housa had been in the meantime searched , and a pinchbeck watch , and a variety of trinkets were found , which , as well as the pint , were spoken to by prosecutor and his wife , as similar to those which had been stolen from their house . The witnesses for the prosecution , most of whom had known the prisoner for soveral years , gave him a very excellent character .

      Mr . Wilkins , for the defence , submitted that the identity of all the articles produced , except the silver pint , was quite out of the question , and that even , with regard to the manner in which that had been spoken to , it was insufficient to warrant them in saying that that cup was the property of the prosecutor . He also commented upon the fact ofi the prisoner having , up to the time of this prosecution , borne an excellent character and submitted that his conduct throughout the transaction had been that neither of a thief Dor a receiver of stolen goods . If the Jury were of opinion that the articles produced were the property of the

      prosecutor , he thought they would feel that there was nothing to justify them in coming to the conclusion that the prisoner had committed this burglary . At all events , there was great doubt , and he was sure they would do what it was their duty to dp—give the prisoner the benefit of it . Two witnesses were : then called , who gave the prisoner a good character . The Learned Judge having summed up , the Jury retired , aud after an abaenoo of nearly two hours , returned a verdict of Nob Guilty of the tbeft . The foreman said they were of opinion that he had tho goods in his possession , knowing them to havo been stolen .

      Macroom { Sessions—Frtoay , Dec . 15 th . At eleven o ' clock ( says the report ) the Chairman took up the registry of arms . There were 840 claimants , bat it was determined previously only to take up the applications of parties living in East and West Muskerry , ! which amounted to a . hundred and twenty-eight , an | d adjourn over the others to Skibbereen Sessions on the 22 ud , and the Bandon Sessions on the 29 th inst . After some unimportant cases had been disposed of , the name of James Callanan , Caranamadra . West Muskerry , who noticed for the registration of one gun , was called , j Mr . R . Warren—I object to him upon what I conceive to be very good grounds ; but if I am required to give my reasons here , I will bold my tongue ; because j I don't want to set the people against me—( loud laughter and great clamour ) .

      Mr . O'Driscoll ( to applicant )—How do you support ( Great clamour on the bench ) . Mr . Warren—Well , then , I will state my objection—( here the speaker raised his voice to a towering pitch , and struck tbe bench with bis clenched fist ) . It is because he is a Repealer —( laughter and confusion)—and a Repeal Warden—( great clamour ) and because he collected the Repeal Rent for O'Connell— ( great clamour all through the court ) . Here the Stipendiary asked the Sub-Inspeetor whether he knew anything of tho man ' s character ; and the latter , in reply , stated him to be a sober and well-behaved man ; upon which Mr . Warren continued— , " Oh , I know the man myself to be a person of most excellent character : 1 have no objection to him but the one I state . "

      This objection of Mf . Warren ' s called up Mr . M . O'Leary—As a magistrate of this connty , and sitting on this bench , I must protest against this course —( Great clamour ) . I say it is a perfectly unconstitutional course to adopt towards any . man—( Renowed clamour—coughing , taking , and scraping of feet—on the bench ) . I say that you have no right whatever to put such questions , and they are by no means a test by which to judge of a man ' s fitness or uufitness to keepjarms —( Uproar on the bench ) . This gentleman was supported by another magistrate , Mr . Jones , who ro ? o to address the meeting , when the folio wing exhibition took . place : —

      Mr . Jones—I -say that every man m the community has an undoubted right to express his political opinions in a fair and legitimate manner—( Cries of " Question , " " Nojspeeches , " and great clamour on the bench ) . I say further , that every man should be presumed innocent until he is found guilty—( Renewed interruptions and cries of" Question , " &o . ) But it is not just to visit any man with an indirect punishment for ? a presumed offence—( clamour ) . When this Act was passing through tbe Legislature , it was grounded upon—( loud cries of " Question , question , " and "j We want no speeches ") . 1 have an undoubted ri ^ lii as a magistrate sitting here to speak my sentiments , and 1 contend for it that I am keeping to the question—( riotous clamour amongst the naae'stratef );

      Mr . Nettles ( Amidst a din of the ' most riotous uproar)—I move that we adjourn—( " Hear , hear , " from the ether magistrates , mingled with cries of "No , no , " and " Hear Mr . [ Jones ") . Mr . Jones appealed to the Chairman , who decided that he was in order , and had a right to speak . He again essayed to do so ; but was again vociferously interrupted . < W . G . Browne—O , we want no speecbing here , we haven't time to listen to them . Mr . Nettles—Take the votes , Mr . Chairman , and announce the decision—( cries of Poll , poll , " and awful uproar ) . \ The Barrister—You are perfectly in order ^ Mr . Jones—( uproar ); Mr . Nettles ( again interrupting Mr . Jones ) . —Take the * o tes , take the votes . The Barrister- —Every magistrate has a right to state his opinions , and to be heard . —( clamour ) .

      Mr . Jones again essayed to speak amidst deafening , intermittent ; clamour . Mr . Warren Irose a second tirce , declaring with much fervour , that this man ' s ( Callanan ' s ) gun should be taken from him , when the commission . of the peace was taken from noblemen and gentlemen for attending peaceable meetings . The report states that the speaker became much excited , his face scarlet , and his language and gesticulation most vehement . After some Further noise and gesticulation , the application was ; rejected , only three magistrates having voted forlit . The next case was disposed of with less tumult and equal reason . The claimant having been Sworn , was interrogated by Captain O'Driscoll—Are you a Repealer ! Have you taken any active part in the movement !

      The claimant , by the advice of his agent , remaining silent— I Mr . O * Leary 4-I move that he be admitted . Mr . R . Warren—I move that he be rejected . Mr . Hedges—I second the amendment . Claim rejected . We pass over a number of equally disgraceful scenes , for which we cannot find room , and conclude ouv extract with ! the following : — John M'Auliffe , Mill-street . Captain Wallis—I objeot here . Are you a Repeal Warden ! j Claimant—I am . Mr . R . Warren—Rejeot him . Mr . M . O'Leary—He has an excellent character . ! Claimant—Hear my character before you reject

      me . , Mr . R . Warren—Others were rejected on the same grounds , and we cannot admit you . Captain . Wallis—I have no objection to his character further than jvrhat I have stated . Mr . R . Warren—We cannot admit him . The certificate was refused . The claims that were admitted , were so after a very strong opposition , not to the characters of the applicants , but to their political opinions ! REPEAL ASSOCIATION , The nsaal weekly meeting was held on Monday ' in the Conciliation Hall . The meeting was but thinly attended . ! A long letter from Mr . O'Connell was read by the Isecretary , and speeches were delivered by Dr . Najgle , ( chairman ) Sir Valentine Blake , Messrs . John O'Connell , O'Niel Daunt , Tom Steele , and others . The rent for the week amounted to £ 548 14 s . 2 d . !

      THE TYRANT MILLOCRATS . Th 2 continuation of the proceedings arising ont of the atrocious BelSeld Pactory Case , wil ) be read wiih much interest by our numerous readers . A pres 3 of matter prevents us giving a comment this week . The Hart > Case Agatx . —At the Rochdale Sessions , on Monday last , the Hev . Richard Durnford , rector of iliddleion , held a long consultation -with , the Kochdale magistrates , Messrs . Wm . Chadwic ' B , Henry Kelsall , and the Rev . Mr . Cotron , relative to the liberation of Joseph Taylor , weaver ,

      MiddletoBjWhowas committed by theHasJlngden magistrates for a month , on the 1 st inst ., for no ! retumis g in his work in due time . We unders * and the whole of the cireaznstaisees of this strange affair hare been laid before tfce Haslingden bench , nquesting the magistrates to concur in an application to liberate * Taylor , in order that s fair and impartial hearing may take place ; but that request having been refused , we nndersiand teas a memorial to ihe Secretary of State has been prepared , at the request of the Rector of Middleton and the Rochdale bench , urajiDg for his instant liberation . — Manchester Guardian — Wednesday .

      The following additional particulars are from our correspondent to whom we are mainly indebted for tee astounding exposures contained in our last : — , JP * f ^ e £ ls fiie Her . Richard Durnfoxd , Rector of Middleton , Las received a letter from Messrs Benecke and Co ., Be ] field , stating that their manager , ¦ or- tee inspector of worsted , has beeen the means of Taylor's imprisonment ; the letter abo requested that the Rev . Gentleman would see to the wants of tfce-onforrunate -man ' s family , and when Taylor was released from prison they would repay tne Rector . On Tnesdsy last , Mr . Dornford visited Taylor in the oSew Bailey Prison , and stated to him tie above offer , but Taylor , knowing his family was attended to , replied lhat he should commence legal proceedajigs againBt his persecutors aa soon as he had served iis time .

      The hearing of the case is expected to come before the Rochdale Magistrates as early as possible after the release of Taylor , whose ttae of imprisonment will bfr np on the 2 * th of this month . The jnetnorialiBiDg the Secretary of State ( as gUted in the Guardian of Wednesday ) has been abandoned . It is probahle that the inhabitants of Middleton will call a public meeting on the subject as soon as the unfortunate and persecuted man arrives at home . Die of the Bocbiale rural police , it is said , tad a hand In the plotting of Taylor ' s case , and that it was dcue at Belfieli Probably the Inspector of Wcir-tid , Mr . Booth , will tell who the police officer alluGcd to is , if not , it will perhaps coc--e cut before Ihe Rttbcale bmch .
