A BEPOBT of the proceedings at the opening of ile Bradford Temperance Hall has jost come ont , fcnashed by our reporter , and published by Mr . John Pale , of Bradford , containing eig h £ pages of yell executed letter-press , for one shilling .

      The Woxsted Act . —On Tuesday last , an Irishman named Patrick Cantwell , was charged before the Magistrates with having m his possession a quantity ofwoisted yam , of which he could not g £ e a- skfefectoy account . The prisoner stated Sat he had "bought the yarn of a Moms Ikmnauy . who had gone into America about nine months ago Mr . "William Atkinson , a manufacturer , could swear that some of the yarn belonged to him . Mr . Green , another manufacturer , also swore _ that part risoner in his defence

      of another lot was his . The p produced a number of invoices of yarn , and other articles belonging to the worsted trade , but they did not appear to aceonnt satisfactorily for the manner in which he became possessed of the yarn which Tras then shown in Court . He was consequently fined in the sum of £ 20 , or in default of payment to he committed to "Wakefield for one month . James Cantwell , a young man , was also brought up on a snnflai , -charge , but the case not being clearly made outi be was dismissed .

      Leeds Socialists . —On Sunday next , we understand , two lectures will be delivered in the Socialists Hall , by Mr . G . Fleming , Editor of the Vew . Noral World . Society of Fbiexds . —The present week has been marked by the annual assembly of the Friends at their quarterly meeting , held in this town . The large concourse of members of a body so distinct and peculiar in its characteristics , has excited as bsmI , a lively degree of public attention . From aD parts of ihH * great county they came in like flowing streams . The mildness and beauty of a season like this adds materially to the interest of

      the occasion . Though neatness and simplicity in array form the general feature with old and young among this people , yet they could not with truth be called a drab-coloured assemblage . The collective wisdom of Britain , met in St . Stephens , could not shew such a band of plain dignified Senators as the grave sober-minded men who meet , weightily to deliberate upon , and wisely to direct , the affairs of tm 3 peaceful community . Neither could the perfumed ball-room place its £ ay and gilded throng in rivalry , with that placidly cheerful group . Those countenances of intelligence and womanly grace ¦ which beam with that highest personal excellence ,

      unadorned loveliness . There , it was sweet to see friends and kindred meet together in kindnesspleasant the cordial greeting—the hearty graspthe srmpathetic glances , and the affectionate enquiry—above all that hospitality which overflows on these occasions—receiving distant friends with open arms—spreading a table for refreshments , aid a couch for repose . Here too is hospitable cheer attended with perfect sobriety- — social entertainment that needs no artificial stimulation . This is as it should be with Christian cvmmunities ; though the spirit of this world ' s wisdom has in part deteriorated this people , there is much to

      remind us of the simplicity and open-heartedness of patriarchal days , when in the cot of the herdsman , or the tent of the desert-wanderer , the pilgrim found a welcome , and the stranger a home . A solemn meeting for worship was the appropriate prelude to me business-deliberations of the meeting . Information was given according to wonted practice , of the state of the society . This view of the state and prospects of the general body in this part was exhibited by answers to certain queries brought by delegates or representatives , from the various congregations throughout the country : from these answers , general answers were prepared for the annual meeting in London . The queries relate to to the orderly attendance of their meetings for worship and societx affairs ; to the preservation of

      brotherly love ; justice , and a consistent walk in life and conversation ; Teading the Holy Scriptures ; avoidance of vain amusements ; inebriety or any intemperance unsuitable to the Christian character ; also to their views against hireling ministers ; smugfiling and all war ; andto the relief and maintenance of their poor , and the education of their children . The answers were , in general , favourable . Harmony and brotherly feeling have marked their proceedings at this time . The concluding meeting for worship , was in character with the whole . proceedings , and was a favoured exemplification of the practical results of their views of worship and ministry . The simple sublimity of silent worship was there , blended with the seasonable outpouring of dear sound Christian admonition , and fervent supplication to the "Author and Finisher of our Faith . "

      wakefieu ) . New Meeting Room of the Forking Mek * s Association . —The aparnnent which has heea taken by this spirited association for a meeting snd lecture Toom , was opened last Monday evening tinder the most encouraging auspices ; it is a spacious room , and the walls having been newly painted with tasteful and elegant landscapes and waterfalls , ( taken principally from views in ^ Westmoreland and Wales and to it a most attractive appearance . A stage las been erected for the lecturer , and immediate directions wiQ be given for lighting the room with gas ; in fact , the association is determined to spare

      no pains in fitting it up so completely in every department , as to prevent any future inconvenience . The Her . J . Cameron , in his usually eloquent style , delivered his concluding lecture on " Poetry , " to an ai&nee of at least 300 , and expressed hisintention of lectnring on the Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Body , and illustrating the same by a chart representing a human skeleton , which we understand the Eev . T . Johnson is preparing for the purpose . A Tery numerous meeting is anticipated am Monday evening , as Disney Alexander , Esq ., MJ ) ., has kindly promised to deliver a lecture on M Tbe Bights and Duties of Man" a subject of

      , vital importance to all , but particularly the working J &ses . " Edncation , " says a late revered miter , " aniversally diffused among a people , is the only Ofians by which the gift of freedom can be obtained Tithtrat introdncing the curse of anarchy —the only bond which can permanently unite the inestimable Meaings of order and liberty . " "We are therefore « % hied to see men like Dr . Alexander and Mr . C « D £ ron patriotically come forward to assist , by ^ ar lectures , to dispel that mental darkness on * Jueh the thrones of tyranny , and the altars of uperstiuon have ever been erected : and we hail

      we spread of knowledge amongst our honest and Jatbstrious artizans , as the harbinger of that gbriong time when every system of priestcraft and Mecrafj which have been imposed on the / erednlity cc mankind under the pretended sanction of heaven , 4 aD be swept away and held in eternal hatred . In daring our present notice of this excellent association , we must not omit to mention that Daniel Gtaell , Esq . has , during the past week , presented to tie association five volumes of Bnrns ' s Justice of jifi Peace , making nearly one hundred volumes , faan Lnpset HalL - .

      - DEWSBUBT . Dewsbtjby Guaeoiass . —The four Guardians for the township of Dewsbury were chosen by the Badical -Association , to oppose the introduction of the . New Poor Law into this district , have been elected in spite of Whig and Tory opposition , by a great majority , which will be seen in the following state of the election : — Mr . T . S . Brooke - - 1066

      " Wm . Newsome - 1051 - " James Cardwell - 1029 " Joseph Rushforth - 999 . " Benjamin Clay - - ^* £ 84 - " Jeremiah Marriott - _\ £ . " Wm . Watts 28 Most of the other Townships in the "Union have also , elected Guardians , opposed to the Law > and many of them are men of great talent .

      Dewsbuby Eadicax Association . —A lecture on- the " Coarser Food" Starvation Law was -given in the Radical Association Room , bottom of Church-street , on Monday evening last , to a very crowded and most attentive audience , by Mr . Joseph Hadfield , of Heckmondwike . Mr . H . exposed at great length , the sophistry of Lord Brougham . The arguments which he brought forward last week in the House of Lords on the New Poor Law Bill , was shivered into ten thousand pieces . Malthusian Brongham was proved to be one of the most base characters that ever existed in this or any other country . Mr . Hadfield made such a deep impression on the minds of the audience as will not for a while be forgotten ; and concluded his most doqnent lecture , which gave the greatest satisfaction , amidst loud applause . _

      Shocking Accident . —On Wednesday last , a young man of the name of Benjamin Hadfield , of Dawgreen , cart-driver , in the employment of Mrs . -T . Bailey-& Sons , manufacturers , Batley Carr , letting his horse drink at -the Anchor Watering Place . Dewsbnry , and owing to the current of the river being rather strong , and the horse going too far into the river , both the horse and cart began to float down the Calder , with the driver in the latter ,

      which had not gone far before both him and the horse went to the bottom and were drowned almost in an instant . - - The unfortunate young man was only aboat nineteen years of age , and the horse was a young and very valuable animal . Also at the same time , a little boy who was watching the people get the young man out of the river had three fingers nearly taken off by the falling down of a wall upon which the spectators were standing . Hfcggy ^

      United Trades Society . —On Tnesday evening last , the members of this Society held their first meeting at . the Stag and Pheasant Inn , Dawgreen , at which meeting the members were determined to make the Society worthy the attention of -every working man . A meeting of this Society will also be held at the same place this evening , 31 st inst ., at seven o'clock in the evening , when all those persons " who wi . « h the rights of working men to be protected , we hope will attend and enrol themselves a « members .

      HTJDDEBSFIEXiD . Election op Gcardians . —Not a Whig for a guardian in Huddersfield township . Four Radicals have large majorities , and with all that thehastile Whig committee could do by sitting during the election and preparing for action many days before with their tricks and shuffiing ; with all their intimidation and threats , they have not been able to put in one bastile man as a guardian . One Tory and one Radical have to settle the dispute which has the majority , and both are against bastiles . Linr ' ey , Linthwaite , ( Baines ' s luminary returned by 5 to 1 ) , Lingard , Meltham , Almondbury , Farnley Tyas

      Thurstonland , Shepley , Shelley , Kirkburton , Lepton , Kirkheaton , and Dalton , have all returned opponents of bastile ? . No news from the other places excepting Lockwood , where they have returned a real bastile ( George Crosland ) man . Now for open market place meetings , instead of the hole and corner one ? hitherto held . Be it known to all mtn that tramping Power was in Huddersfield in disfiuise , on Tuesday week—that he skulked and dared not appear , nor let it be known till he was beyond the reach of the people , that he

      ordered our two Whig-made eoc ~ fficio Guardians to deliver back the keys of the bastile ofSbe—that the poor degraded tools of this said tramping Power , were glad to go and beg the landlord to take back his key , which in pity he did , on the assurance of having it retaken on the 1 st of April ( fool ' s day ) , so that instead of fifteen years , for which time it was taken , they have only had it fifteen days . A pretty thing that our Whig Magistrates should have a common tramp for a master—that they should be put in bodily fear at the pleasure of such a strolling ragamuffin as Power .

      New -Poor Law Union . Election of Guardians . —The admirers of this detestable measure are making it a life and death affair , —for the return of the five candidates , whom they have put in nomination , who are the mere tools of the Commissioners , —and what with the advantages afforded them , by having the overseers on their side , who give them all necessary information and assistance , —also the great number of plurality , property , and proxy votes , which the infernal law gives them , on the one hand , and on the other , the disadvantages which the labouring class have to contend with , —such as having only one vote , providing

      they have paid up their rates , nearly one half of Whom are disfranchised , by the long depressions of trade , in not being able to pay up their rates—that it will be considered as a miracle should the latter succeed in returning * fhosefive gentlemen as Guardians , whom they have put in nomination , as opponents to this new starvation scheme . The friends of the poor , feared that some trick would be played npon them , when the votes came to be cast up ; to prevent which a deputation waited upon Mr . Shepherd , the overseer , on Tuesday last , to consult with him upon the propriety of having two individuals , on both sides , to meet the overseers at the poor houses

      on Thursday afternoon , to see that fair play was done . To which arrangement he ( Mr . Shepherd , readily consented ^ and promised to let them know when he would be ready to meet the people ' s deputation . Yet , strange to say , in the face of such promise , the overseer ordered his runners to collect the voting papers in on Wednesday morning . At two o ' clock the same day he sent for a person , known in this neighbourhood by the name of Old Judas ( an individual who has rendered himself notorious , by pursuing to death those who happen

      to become his creditors and are not able to pay , ) to assist him to cast up the votes at the Court Honse . The public soon became acquainted with this scheme . A number of persons went to the Court House ; but , to give to the numerous readers of the Star a description of the scene that followed ^ would be next to an impossibility . Ultimately , two individuals were appointed out of the assembly there present , to sit , with the overseers till the business was finally gone throngh , the result of which we will send you as soon as it is made known . —Correspondent .

      Meeting of Ratb-payebs . — On Thursday last , a- meeting of the rate-payers of the township of Hudderefield was held at the Ramsden ' s Arms Inn , at 10 o ' clock in the forenoon , for the purpose of examining and passing the fourth quarter ' s accounts of Mr . Shepherd and Mr . Bendley , the overseers of the poor . Thomas Starkey , Esq ., was called to the chair . The different items were read over and passed without any opposition . A ? ote of thanks was then passed to the overseers and the chairman , and the meeting separated .

      England ' s Petty Blackheath . —From Penzanee to the farthest corner of " Old TJiule , " there is not a village , forest , or highway , measuring only an equal number of square yards , —as the south-west division of Fartown Hamlet , containing Sheepridge , Deighton , and Fartown Green , where an equal number of petfy robberies , dirty , sneaking , low-minded , cowardly aets of annoyance and destruction , on a / small scale , are committed . The sufferers , when asked about the matter , only answer , ^ that they ( the actors ) do not come 100 miles off , —in fact , a regular courageous thief

      would steal on a bolder , manlier , and 2 arerer scale . would steal on a bolder , manlier , and larger scale , or cease his occupation . Coals , poultry , bntter , potatoes , breaking into cellars and outhouses , generally form the thefts ; and . by way of cheer , and washing down the midnight feast , a ten gallon barrel of ale was , about three years and a half-ago , hoisted through the cellar -window of a fanner , near Fartown Bar , and nearly drank in his cart-shed . The chief annoyance consists in the destruction of garden , fruit , shrub , and other trees , and stealing beds of onions . Whilst we feel sympathy mixed ¦ with rage , at the frequent thefts on the provision

      warehouse , pur bosoms" glow ! with tmimngied initiation against the cowardly midnight TwrfMy who , to gratify a mean feeling , prowls into gardens , asm tears up trees , only to destroy ; them . We ahould be nearly inclined to thiakj that this midnight skulk , in his deeds of darkness , must have fallen against posts , rails , and walls , till he has nearly beaten the hair from his head , and become bald in his valorous operations ; or he is more fortunate ( in not stumbling ) than most of midnight prowlers . Our police and magistrates generally know , and it is too frequently the case , in hamlets there is often a bad family or two , or a companion or two , who are known , and often seen to perform these courageous feats ; but such is the village

      terror of the actors , and so many the means of annoyance , that a small -village , ( particularly in winter ) gives a dirty-minded skulk , from the above cause , a desire to be quit ; . die false appearances , and often through the cowardly hearts of neigh * bourB j these Worthies generally ensure more " outward respect" towards their SNEAKSHIPS and families , than the honestest man in the village . Last week but one , at Fartown , trees and coals skipped away on tiptoe , from their real owners , as usual . As the days are lengthening , we advise the hamletere to provide themselves with a goose—not one well fed at a farmer ' s fold—but a cast-iron

      goose of huge dimensions , to hurl at the head of the sneak or sneaks . We likewise wish to observe , that birds of a feather flock together . The chief inhabitants are at length rousing themselves from their long trance , and a public meeting at the School Room , Sheepridge , to form an Association for the Prosecution of Felons , was called by hand-bill , for Monday evening last , at seven o ' clock . The bill speaks of the alarming number of robberies at the before-mentioned places . It is signed by John Whittaker , Esq ., and eleveni of the principal inhabitants of the hamlet .

      Accordingly the meeting took place at the afore-mentioned time , but owing to other two meetings in different divisions of the hamlet , the meeting was not so large as was expected . The inhabitants are , however , spurring each other , and entering rapidly into the association , which was then formed , for the Prosecution of Felons and other Misdemeanors . One of the principal rules of the association is founded on a jusV necessary , and sound principle ,, namely , to prosecute any person who compromises any felony or misdemeanour , which is committed on his property . ^—From a Correspondent .

      HtlDBERSFIELD ELECTION OF GUARDIANS . — The adding up of the lists took place at the Courthouse , Huddersfield , on Thursday afternoon , at a quarter past ten at night , the numbers were declared as follows : — Mr .

      The people have returned four out of five of the Guardians for Huddersfield , notwithstanding all the influence of the Whigs , their trickery , and the assistance rendered by Jlr . Shepherd , the overseer , one of their own party . — -LimHey has returned Mr . Rhodes , a Radical , opposed to the bill . — Lockxcood , I am sorry to . < av , has thrown out Mr . Stock ? , and returned : a real Whic Bastile man .

      BRADFORD . Shooting Match . —A pigeon shooting match took place on Odsal Moor , on Monday , between Mr . John Yewdall , gamekeeper to Mr . Leah , and Mr . Tetley , landlord of the Wheat Sheaf , Bowling , for X 20 a-side . Yewdall won , killing 10 pigeons out of Jo , and Tetley 9 out of 15 , besides killing two that fJewoutofthe ring . After this inntch was decided , another was formed between Yewdall arid a woolsorter , named VTadswortli , when they each killed 3 birds out of 5 . and it -was a drawn match . They are to shoot it out on MonJav . for £ 10 a-side .

      Fine at Bradford . —On ' Mi . Coates , druggist , of Bradford , enter ing his shop , on Wednesday morniug last , about six o ' clock , lie found it tilled with a dense smoke , which , on die door being opened , burst into a flame . The engine statioued at the Court House was immediately sent for , but not arriving , every possible exertion wa . « used by the individuals who attended , and the fire was subdued without assistance of an engine , in about an hour . We understand the fire or iginated under the flags , by the shop fire-place ; owing to some imperfection in the flue ,

      the aslies from the hre had found their way to the end of a beam . Mr . Coates has but lately begun business , and by this fire he lias sustained a serious loss , as the whole of the inside work of his elegantly fitted-up shop is most seriously damaged , besides the t ») tal loss of a large quantity of drugs , « fec . It was a most fortunate circum ^ tnucv that the discovery was made before the tire had gained further head , as there was 3 large quantity of'oil and other inflammable materials upou rhe premises . The amount of the damage cannot be yet ascertained , but it is verv considerable .

      Loyal Order or Axcient SHnrnEnns . — -On Monday last , the members of the Happy Omen Lodge , No . 175 , held at the house of Mr . Paul Rayper , the Nag ' s Head Inn . celebrated their first anniversary , when upwards of forty persons , who had been members of a respectable free gift , were duly initiated . Their reason for joining this order » in preference to any other of the secret societies , was in consequence " of its having dispensed with all useless and costly regalia . After the business of the lodge had been gone through , the whole of the

      brothers sat down to an excellent-snpper , which had been provided for tliein by the worthy host and hostess , and which reflected yreat credit on their taste and hospitality . The remainder of the evening was spent in that social and brotlierlv manner which so much characterises the order . The members were highly gratified with the prospect the order now presents of enlarging its borders , and extending its genial influence . The songs , toasts , &c , went off with great spirit , and the harmony was kept up till a late hour . . -

      A During Rogue . —Of late a great number of robber ies have been committed on the linen-drapers , in the face of open day . On Thursday last , lad named John Hudson , from Keighley , was apprehended for stealing a piece of Dowlas , containing sixty-seven yards , from Mr . Btddoe , linen-draper , Westgate . He was brought before the magistrate next morning . It appeared that pr isoner was seen by James Longstaff , apprentice to Mr . Priestley , hair-dresser , about five o ' clock , come out of the cellar underneath Mr . Beddoe ' s shop with the piece , ' and run with it in the direction of Mill Bank . He

      was followed , and dropped it near Mr . Laycock a dram-jhop . L pon being captured and taken to the Court-Hou « e , he confessed that he was . associated with some Irish packmen , in Mill Bank , and the constables went in search cf them , but they had run off shortly before . The evidence being clear against the prisoner , he was committed for trial at the next sessions . ; . Axti-Slavert . —The Emancipation Committee in this town , have appointed the Rev . G . S . Bull , and T . Aked , Esq ., to represent them in London . They are now in London , to be present at the time of the motion of Sir George Strickland , which was made on Thursday . Alfred Harris and T . Catt&n , Esqs ., are soliciting subscript ions to carry but the objects of the committee .

      Indecent Assault . —On Monday , at the Court Honse , John Hebden , of Thornton , was charged with assaulting a young girl , named Eliza Wright , with intent to commit a rape . The magistrates fined him 10 s with costs , £ 1 . 2 s ., whichhe refused to pay ; but when he found that his commitment to Wakefield was made out , his courage began to fail , and he pnt down the money . Dbuxk . —John Hartley , of Little Horton , was oh Monday fined ( including costs ) 14 s . 6 d . for being drnhk in the streets on the preceding night , and kicking up a row . When the new watch-house is completed , offenders of this description will have to be marched from it , like Falstaff s ragged regiment , through the street to the Court House in the fallglare of day .

      Mechanics' Institute . —A lecture was givpn in the Temperance Hall , by the Rev . Mr . Hamilton , of Leeds , on Tuesday evening , "On the Passions . " The lecture was well attended , and was a very interesting one . Members were admitted b y their tickets ; other persons , on pajTnent of a sbiUiiigthe proceeds to go to the Building Fund .

      Your friends resident in Halifax welcome your return from exile . We ; cpngratulate you on your return to your native land . Our sympathy and condolence has been with you in your absence . The cruelties you have undergone shall never be forgbtton by us , and tho ^ e who have been the cause of them shall not be forgiven for many days hence > They banished you from the land of your birth , although your lives were unblamable , a nd your conduct irreproachable . You infringed upon no rights , public or private ; nor violated any known statute . Your , only offence was yourrpoverty , not being able to procure more than seven shillings per

      week to subsist on , yourselves and families . Your only crime , you tried to better your condition . For this you were exiled from your country— --the htmie of .-your fathers , and all that was dear to you in life . The gardens which you cultivated—the flowers which you raised—and the books you delighted to read all were compelled to leave thousands of miles from you . These rural and virtuous employments , you were forced to exchange for a vile country , whose hills furnished you no interest—vallies which you could not admire ^—flowers which gave you no delight- ^ and above all company with whom you

      could not associate and respect ; and to thi « unmitigated toil of body , and torture of mind you have had to endure , and no wonder that these and other ills which you had to contend with should in some measure have undetmined your ; constitution and injured your health . Thanks to thatkind Providence which has been the anchor of ypur mind j and the guide of your gteps in all the dangers and difficulties you have passed throughj to your landing on Britain ' s shore . We repeat , we rejoice at your return ; we congratulate you , and your dearest connexions , on your return to the bosom of your families , and the circle of vour friends and brothers .

      In conclusion allow us to : inform you that the warfare is not ended—nor yet the conqu est fully achieved . The monster which bound you is still at large , and has in its iron grasp the five Glasgow Cotton Spinners , ready at any moment to send to the place from which you have j list returned . You must again buckle on your armour , for there : will be no place there can be no peace in this country till the rights of labour be acknowledged and ebneeded . We are favourable to the project of F . O'Conhpr , Esq ., as detailed in the Nortkern Star of last week . " ¦¦' ¦ ¦ , " " •¦ J ' ¦ ¦ ¦¦' . '¦ ¦ . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦¦ " . ' ¦ . '¦'¦ ¦¦ " . "' ¦¦¦ ¦¦ '
