fcnow any thing about God . " Richard Williams , almost tea years of age—a scholar in a Welch Sonday school , belonging to the Independents—informs us that he nerer heard of Jesus Christ , and does not know the Lord ' s Prayer . We wonder what the ^ dependents of England will say to this . Then there is another child , who knows nothing of the Commandments ; and a girl , aged seventeen , gives us this information— " They never have told me a svthing of Jesus Christ , nor do I know who he is . " A . girl , thirteen years old , does not know whether God made her , and says roundly , " There are no Commandnients f and , to finish this enlightened ^_
specimen of the " religions" tuition imparted in those seminaries of " Scriptural" learning , we hare a boy , fif : cen years old , who " thinks Jesus Christ mada God f and it had taken him twelve months at school to arrive at this conjecture ; while another of the same age—aye , who now goes to the Sunday s chool of the Independents— " thinkB Jesus Christ ^ ras born in Wale 3 , and went to England ! " This jj & fearful picture of the manner in which the children of the poor are instructed by the eaintly hypocrites who are compassing sea aHd land to n ^ ke proselytes , and who denounce the imparting of useful knowledge of a secular character on the Lord ' s Par &s rank infidelity .
Sometimes an appeal is made to the pockets of benevolent people , for the purpose of presenting boys and girls with Bibles and Testaments . We wonder of what use they would be to parties whose teachers had left them in the state of lamentable ignorance detailed in this report , There is Thoius Mitchell , aged thirteen , at Halifax , in the heart of Christian England , who never heard of Jesus Christ—does not know what you mean by Gop has heard of a Bible , but does not know what it is all sbont ; and as a proof of the excellent moral training he has received . He says— " I do not know what would become of me hereafter if I am wicked ; I have never been told . If I tell a falsehood or . lie , I tell a lie . It may be good , or bad ; but I don't know the diSerence . "
We wish we knew the precise school in Halifax in which thi 3 boy was taught , or , rather , was not taught ; for not a particle of useful knowledge appears to have been imparted . We would certainly giTe it all the infamous notoriety the case so richly Baits . The truth is , this most important document must force conviction upon all who are not determined to remain unconvinced in spite of the most incontrovertible evidence that a system of the most brntalisrng character and diabolical cruelty is at this moment in actual operation in the coal mines of England , Wales , and
Scotland , a system to which the state of slavery in the West Indies was a Paradise , and which will only bear comparison with the most demoniac practices of ancient times . Nay , we are prepared to prove that in juxiposhion with ths atrocieties now praciiced and the wholesale , physical , mental , and moral slaughter daily perpetrated , in the mills , factories , and mines of this country , the darkest deeds of antiquity are white as snow . We are told of the infanticide sanctioned by the laws of Sparta . What was that in atroeiety in comparison with the binding pauper children br Toot Law Guardians for
a period of sixteen years , to labour in those dens of darkness , misery , and vice , more hellish in their character than we can conceive even of hell itself We are reminded of the massacre of the infants of Bethlehem . Why that was mercy itself compared whh the taking children , aye , and female children too , at three and four years old , and subjecting them to the labours and brutal treatment which have been brought to light by thi 3 inquiry ! We may be referred to the human sacrifices offei ed up in ancient Greece and Rome , or to the demon worship of the Jews in causing their sons and their daughters to
pass through the fire unto Moloch . Wo admit the homble nature of these sacrifices and idolatrous rites , bat they have at least this extenuation , that they were performed in a time of gross ignorance and were in perfect accordance with the acknowledged gpirit of the age . Besides in these cases the bodj only was aSected ; but here we have a system opposed to every precept of Christianity , abhorrent to every principle of humanity , and destructive alike to body , mind , aid spirit . These helpless viciiwis are as truly offerings consumed upon the altar of Idolatry , as were any of the ancient sacrifices .
Mammon is the god of Britain . Mammon is exalted on cur altars , and is enshrined within our palaces . Capital has usurped the throne of Omnipotence , and eren in the temple of God is elevated as supreme . To this monster Devil , this modern Jnggernaut , all must bow . Decrepid age , and helpless infancy , the strength of manhood and female beauty , the powers of the intellect , and the gnshings of affection , must alike be sacrificed ; and h appears as if no one d&red to raise the standard against its insatiable
thirst of gain , or venture to interrupt the further raTages of its uncontrolled authority . We are glad to find that the press of every shade © f politics is beginning to take up this question * This is as it should be . It is no question of politics , it is far removed beyond and above the narrow range of party bickering ; it is a great qnestion of social and moral interest ; it demands the exertions of all , and no oae can henceforth refuse to aid in the rescue of those victims of oppression without incurring the guilt of innocent blood .
We want to know whether the -pulpit will follow the example of ihe pres 3 j whether the pri&sthood , who were first and foremost in denouncing and putting an end to negro slavery will come forward to the rescue of the white Elaves of England ? We know they ought , and we know they must , or be prepared to encounter the curse of the Almighty , and the detestation and abhorrence of every honest man . We might asi , why an interference on their part has not been made long since ! We might inquire how they could live , as thousands of them do , in the
coal districts , and witness the horrible depravity and profound ignorance everywhere so apparent , and not institute a searching inquiry in order to provide a remedy ! We cin readily conceive that a large portion of the ignorance , vice , and wretchedness , irhich the commission has brought to light , was unknown even in the places where it existed in the greatest abundance ; but we cannot permit tae plea of ignorance to be carried so far . It is impossible ftat magistrates , proprietors of mines , and especially ministers of religion living upon the spot , would be altogether uninformed as to what was going on .
And yet nothing has been done—and why ! We fear the proprietors have closed their eyes to the horrible evib of the system , because it was to them profitable ; the magistrates have winked at it , lest SB interference on their part should give offence to some wealthy neighbour ; and the ministers of Teligion have connived at it because ample collections are required to carry out their designs , and to enable them to appear u respectable . " The fleece must be secured , no Biatter what becomes of the flock ; and the splendid temple must arise , though every stone should be purchased with the price of blood . What-ETer a * y hare been the case , ignorance now exists
no longer . The evidence is ample , and it is nndeaiable . We now , therefore , have a right to ask for practical proof , that all the denunciations against fii&Yery , thai all the mournings over the wrongs of Africa ,. that all the professed anxiety to convert the heathen , was not , and is not , mere east and hypocrisy . If there is either truth or consistency i& tae xfcligiorua public , bow is the time to Bhow it . A . system has been brought to light , as now -ctaaliy existing , which is fraught with the most fear-riii , and productive of the most tremendous , cir-Cnrn si fences , temporal and eternal , to all concerned in it . Tae same power which broke the chains of slavery caa rescue the children of Britain from present thraldom and future ruin . The same real and
ammaii '^ n as animated the country in 1833-4 , is required now , and the same result would inevitably follow a similar exhibition of moral determination .

To you , the ministers and members of Christian churches , of every name and denomination , we now appeal ; and we tell yon plainly that on you , in reference to thia question , the eyes of the whole country are placed . You may sit down and do nothing , but you cannot do so with impunity . Your Christian character ii at stake . You cannot defend this cruel and viflanous outrage on humanity . You know it is opposed to every precept of Revelation , and to every dictate of feeling and of sympathy . You would not have your own children so deliberately handed over to destruction , and you are bound , therefore , to exert every power on behalf of those helpless victims of oppression .
An appeal to Parliament , on this subject , from every congregation throughout the land ought instantly to be made . On your Altars petitions were laid for the abolition of slavery , and were numerously signed , even after divine service , on the Sabbath , in many places ; let those Altars be now consecrated to a not lessholy purpose . Let the cry of oppression at your own doors excite an interest , at least , as powerful as that which was called forth by the wrongs of strangers ; and let us , at least , have one proof that you are not entirely dead to the claims of domestic misery , and the demands of our most holy faith .
We have not yet done with this horrible subject . We shall return to it again and again . The wicked shall have no rest : nor will we cease from troubling them . While it may please God tbat we have power to write or speak , we " will uphold the cause of the afEiefed , and maintain the right of the poor . "

. THE FORTHCOMING NOTTINGHAM ELECTION . The eyes of the whole country are now directed to the approaching contest for the deserted seat at Nottingham ; and , as no doubt every species of corruption will be resorted to , we think it right to give to both electors and non-electors a few words of advice and caution . The base factions know that many of the electors are poor—that a sovereign or two would be to them a present advantage ; and sovereigns will be freely , though not openly perhaps ,
offered on the coming occasion . Let the electors remember that no man will buy them unless he intends to sell them ; and let them count carefully the loss and gain of the experiment . They may gain a paltry trifle , but they will certainly lose not only the chance of benefiting their country , but they will also be , as far as in them lies , instrumental in perpetuating their own misery and wretchedness . What has brought Nottingham and every other town in the kingdom to the Btate of
unparalleled distress under which they ara now snffering ? - Class legislation . And class legislation has been mainly produeed by the readiness with which electors have received the reward of iniquity from the base betrayers of their country . Let them reflect well on these things , and they will infallibly come to the conclusion that they will be more benefited by an honest non-buying Representative , than by a Candidate who wishes to buy them with a sovereign or two , in order to continue the system ; and we trust they will act accordingly .
We hope every friend of freedom will be at his post and manfully perform his duty . Let local committees be instantly appointed , and let the most extensive steps to be taken to hunt out and put to rout , both night and day , all bribery machinery of every kind , that the tricks of the factions may be displayed in open day ; and let all to whom a bribe is offered be well assured that tho candidate who spends money intends to have it all back with good interest , either by himself , or his relations , or connections . Mr . Stcegb stands pledged neither directly , or indirectly , to spend
any money beyond the necessary legal expences , aud if the other side are watched vigilantly and at all points , the electors will have no where to look , and they will vote right . We would suggest the rigid administration of the bribery oath . The Honse of Commons will not abolish bribery , and therefore , the steps suggested by the law ought above all things to be attended to at the present and every future election . The freemen in the boroughs are chiefly of the working classes , and if they are promptly shown that nobody will be allowed to give them money , they will do their duty .
To run purity against bribery is like doing nothing . Bribery can be and must be prevented everywhere , if the friends of honour and consistency will bnt do tSeir duty . Nottingham gave the fatal blow to the most detestable faction that ever cursed a country j let it now rear the standard of purity and vigilance , aud be first in the glorious battle for a nation ' a rights and a world ' s redemption .

Every Subscriber to the Star far Four Months , from the date of entering his name with his newsagent , will be entitled to a Plate . We do not promise to have it ready at any particular time , for the work will be one of such a character , and will need suoh careful attention on the part of the Engraver , as to defy any one to fix . an exact time . This , however , we do promise . Every subscriber is at liberty to cease his subscription at the end of four months , holding his ticket , and receiving his plate and paper from the Agent he has subscribed with , the day it is presented ,
just as if be had continued to subscribe . The Price of the Paper the week the Plate is presented will be One Shilling . We will try to make such arrangements as will make this the only charge the Subscribers will have to pay . Agents , therefore , will please to open subscription lists , and in all cases furnish the subscriber with a ticket , which ticket will entitle him to the Plate whenever it is given for subscribing for the Star for four months . As soon as possible , specimens shall be placed in the hands of the Agents .

G . S . Nusset . —The subject of his letter is one on which , as he must be aware , the readers of the Star have been often warned . Our space does uot at : present allow of its insertion ; but we shall be glad , with his permission , to reserve it for awhile : it may be useful by and by : we by no means intend the subject to sleep . The Truck System rightl y adjiinistbrbd . —A petty hosier , who wishes to pass for a good methodist , being lately " pulled up" belore the Mayor of Derby for paying one of his workmen partially in goods , was very properly informed by the Mayor that the goods which the poor fellow hod had from him could only be regarded as a present , and that he must now pay the remainder of
the money due for wages . Job Plant , before he b ? gan a system of insolent annoyance , should have " taken stock" of his brain pan , to ascertain whether he had * sense enough to carry it on . His letter was not directed for Feargus O'Connor ; it was directed to the Editor of the Northern Star , though addressed to Feargus O'Connor , inside . We do not publish Feargus O'Connor ' s " dwelling house to be No . 5 , Briggate , § c ; " we usually publish and write what we knoxc to be true ; had this been Mr . Plant ' s practice he would have saved himself the trouble of writing , and us of replying to this letter . Christopher Wood , late ofHonley , still continues a
prisoner at Rolhwell , without any other means of sustenance than the casual aid of parties who are indisposed to see a man starved to death in England for being a Chartist . We have reason to believe that that is the "head and front" of Mr . Wood ' s offending . We trust that the Chartists of the West Hiding , and the country generally , will see that the devils who desire his destruction be disappointed . X . Y . Z — Ilis communication is an advertisement . Erratum . —In the balance-sheet of the Convention , last week , Robert Wing was printed , instead of Robert King , in the list of Yorkshire contributions . Robert King — We are very sorry that parties
professing Chartism should evince such a spirit as that which he describes in his letter . Darlington Chartists . — Write again to Mr . Heywood . Profits to the Executive , from Huffy Ridley's sale of tea and coffee , from February 26 th to May 6 th , 8 s lOkd . Audited and found correct , Thomas M . Wheeler , John Fussell . F . —We will take his file of the Times at the price he states if he will send it to us , with a letter staling how we can remit . Messrs . Dewhirst and Edwards wish to inform those ushomU may concern , that on acconnt of so many applications being made for their services to address Chartist camp meetings on Sundays , they beg that in future all those who may wish for their services will correspond with them previously , at Mr . Alderson's , tailor , Bank-street ,
Bradford , Yorkshire . The Greenock Young Men ' s Charier Association are desirous of having correspondence with their brother Chartists , and would be obliged if some of the Young Men ' s Charter Associations would send a copy of their rules , and give their addresses . All letters to be directed ( post paid ) John Smith , tailor , Hill's Land , No . 9 , William ' street , Greenock . Denunciations . — We have received from our London correspondent very strongly worded resolutions from two of the Chartist districts of the metropolis in reference to the conduct of a very prominent character in connection with the ball for the political victims . Our correspondent accompanies the resolutions by a note , from which we give the following : — 11 1 most reqnest your insertion of it , or upwards of twenty subscribers will leave the Star , they feeling mnch crabbed" tbat the last denouncement was
not inserted . We have every desire to oblige our friends so far as we can do so consistently with public service ; but the one thing against which , more than all others , we have set ourselves during our whole political existence has been the publication of sectional squabbles and individual denunciations . While the slightest and most respectfully expressed intimation from us that we did not perfectly approve and feel delighted with everything done and said by some parties has been termed " dictation" and ' ¦ '"denunciation , '' and has beenmade the pretext for heaping upon us coarse and offensive ribaldry , we have the satisfaction of knowina , and every reader of the Star knows as
well , that we never yet denounced any man ; and none know better than the yelpers about " dictation" and "denunciation" that we have always deprecated and struggled against it . Nottingham , Leicester , Sheffield , Newcastle , Iluddersfield , Birmingham , and London can all bear ample—and some of them have borne sufficiently angry—testimony to this fact . We have been always of opinion that local and sectional differences should be confined to the quarters in which they unfortunately exist ; and that when individuals are—as in the present case—charged absolutely with dishonesty and unworthinets of
trust , the charge ought never to come before the public as mere denunciation ; it ought to be accompanied by a full statement of particulars , circumstances , and proofs ; so that if the accused can reply he may . This course was adopted by the Manchester Committee , in reference to Mr . R . J . Richardson , who has now , it is said , a Sturgite commission to organise South Lancashire for Complete Suffrage . That person was charged by the committee with certain acts of treachery , which could only have been the acts of a villain ; the circumstances were detailed and the proofs given , and he was dared to meet and contradict the statements . He never did meet
and contradict them ; and , therefore , we believe the charges against him to be true , and the man to he a scoundrel , with whom it is disgraceful for any man , or body of men , to associate . In the present case , this has not been done . The resolution is one timply of denunciation ; and therefore we cannot insert it . We hope that the distinction between denunciation and criticism will be carefully noted by the people ; so that hereofter when thin-skinned or insidious and dishonest men thall seek to jumble them toe / ether , for the purpose of covering villanous practices , and
" getting away in the smoke" they may be in no danger of being " hvmbuyged . W . H . Dyott has gratefully to acknowledge the promptitude with which his appeals for Stars have been answered , and much regrets , that time does not permit him to reply personally lo all the kind friends who remember him weekly . The struggle is setting in in good earnest in Ireland ; the good seed has been sown , and is germinating in the minds of the many ; events are rapidly ripening it to fruition ; an early and abundant harvest may be expected . W . H . D . legs of his friends not to relax their exert ' w 7 is .
Monies to Mr . Heywood . —We have received the following from Mr . Heyvcood : — " Manchester , May 25 , 1842 . " Sir , —I sent you a statement of subscriptions three weeks ago , to be inserted in the Star , and yet no notice baa appeared . " The parties are continually writing to me to know the reason , and I cave no way to get out of the matter bat by laying the whole of the blame upon the Editor of tbe Northern Star . Do oblige the subscribers by inserting it . " Yours respectfully , " Abel Hey wood . "
AU ice can say in the matter is , that so far as we know , every list of subscriptions received by us has appeared . Whether in the mass of letters which reach us some one may have been overlooked we cannot say ; but we are as careful as toe can be to prevent this from happening . There can be no doubt that alt monies received by Mr , Heywood will be rightly applied . We suggest that , in future , it may be wed for him to keep a copy , with the exact date when sent , of any such , articles he may send us . This will enable us to correct any mistake that may hereafter occur . Rochdale . —Mr . John Leach writes to say that he neat not the author of a paragraph in our last , stating the number of the meeting on Bagtlate Common to have been not less than 10 , 000 .

DUNDEE . —Provost Lawsbn has received £ 300 of the Government grant for constructing and improving public walks in the vicinity of large towns . This sum will be expended in improving the Magdalen Green , the only public ground of « asy accesBin the neighbourhood , and will give employment to a number of the unemployed , bHt at a rate of wages very far below the living point . . The ' miserable condition of our unemployed , is beginning to excite general attention . On Tuesday , the 17 th current , a considerable body paraded the streets with music and flags . A black flag was carried in front , on one side of which was the following inscription : — " Oh ! why has man the will and power , To make his follow mourn ?" " Tis tyranny and submission . "
They went to the Magdalen Yard to wait the result of a meeting of those assessed for poor-rates , then holding in tho Town-Hall , and which had been convened by the magistrates to take into consideration the condition of the unemployed . This meeting broke up without adopting or even considering any means of alleviating the misery of their ftllowtownsmen . After several of our respectable philanthropists ( 1 ) had eaid their say _ , they went off in a hurry , without electing a committee , leaving it to be understood that the committee previously in existence , and which has done absolutely nothing for the removal of the distress , should still continue in office . The sufferings of the poor cast-off tools of the fortune makers must increase—must come to be unbearable , and threaten danger to these feeling
gentlemen , ere they will be so generous as return a portion of the wealth produced by , the unemployed to save them from death . The unemployed were addressed by several persons who enjoined them to preserve the peace , and not giro the magistrates an opportunity of pouncing upon any of them . They resolved to hold a publio meeting ea Friday , which was held in the Bill-street Hall . Several individuals addressed it , and exposed the unfeeling conduct of the magistrates , who had retained several sums of money they bad received for the use of tho unemployed , and when questioned about it , spoke of the unemployed in the most base and contemptuous terms . A committee of three was then appointed to remonstrate with the magistrates , and ascertain what the committee elected in the Town-hall , intended to do .
Thursday ^ 19 tb , was celebrated as her Majesty ' s birth day by the ringing of bells , the hoisting of flags on the old steeple and the shipping in the harbour , and the laying of the foundation stone of the parish church ,. whichis to be built on the site of the old one , which with the south and cross churches was burnt down on the morning of Sunday , the 3 rd of January , 1841 . The magistrates , trades , and masonic bodies walked in procession to St . Andrew ' s Church , where a . sermon was preached by the Rev . Mr . Arnott ; and from thence to the church where the foundation stone was laid by Provost Lawson , as proxy for Lord Pan mure , Provincial Grand Master . The numbers in procession were not great , but a considerable number of
spectators were present at the laying of the stone . sA . collection was made in St . Andrew's Church for the unemploved , which , with the handsome donation of £ 50 received from Lord Penmnro , amounted to upwards of £ 100 . The fooleries of the Beniors during the day brought oat the fooleries of the juniors in the evening . A crowd of lads and boys assembled in the High-street , not to give vent to their pent tip feelings of loyalty to her Majesty , but evidence of the strength of their arms and legs to all her loyal subjects who had the misfortune to wear a " hat . " Mr . Maokisson , Superintendent of Police , having his cranium covered with one of these , then
tinpopular , but necessary articles , was attacked and rather roughly treated , but he took it all in good part . We observed the Junior Editor of the Courier , the lad who writes about the " Chartist sluts" and '' unwashed * blackguards , " in the middle of a crowd of boys , at " he top of Union-street . He was considerably elevated with the " ardent" spirits of loyalty , challenging any one present to fight him , declaring he would stick to his . post , and brandishing iu his hand a new hat , bought , we suppose ; for the occasion ; for the possession of which in the morning he was indebtedftp a kind coachman , who put his fustian-covered arm round the young gentleman , and led him awa-j ^ Correspohdent .

JMany hare been absolutely destitute of all employment for nine months , and some longer . They are now less employed than they were in winter . The degree of distress may be judged of by the fact that the poor rates , which are collected quatterly , are now 4 s . in the pound . Thus a house and shop rated at £ 25 pays £ 20 per annum poor rate . A meeting of toe unemployed workmen is intended to be held in a few days .
BRADFORD . —Fatal Colliery ^ Accident . — On Monday last , at the Dudley Hill Colliery pit , a frightful acoident occurred by which one man lost his life . The ^ pame of the deceased is Abraham Simpson , who , with another man , was removing some scaffolding in the pit , on part of which being removed an immense body of fioul air escaped , and coming in contact with a lighted candle which the deceased held in- his hand , immediately ignited , and an explosion took place . The pit was instantly in a blaze , and such was the force of the explosion , that
Simpson was blown to a considerable height in the pit from which he fell down ; his hat being blown out of the pit ' s mouth . His corpse , when taken out , as our informant significantly related it , appeared to have been " smashed to atoms . " The other man escaped the violence of the explosion in a great de-§ ree by secreting himself under the scaffolding , and lough he has sustained considerable injuries , hopes are entertained of his ultimate recovery . Simpson has left a widow and four children to mourn his untimelyend .
Fatal Accident near Bradford . —On Tuesday evening , an accident attended with loss of life , occurred a little below Bradford Moor . It appears that as Benjamin Greenwood , of Shipley Moor Head , carrier between Shipley , Leeds , and York , was on his return from Leeds at about six o ' clock , with a waggon loaded with wool , and drawn by four horses , when on the brow of the hill the main pin of the waggon came out , which throwing the whole weight of the load on the animals caused them to move forward at a rapid pace . He ran to the head of the leaders to arrest their progress , but not succeeding in this he was thrown down , and either the wheels went over his head and left shoulder ,
or he was so severely crushed against the curb stone , or the road wall , as to fracture his skull and cause instantaneous death . Finding themselves at liberty the horses dashed onward , taking with them their load , until beside New Leeds , where they liberated themselves and went clear off . The circumstance having been noticed farther inquiry was made , the result of which was , that the unfortunate man was found at the place where the accident occurred quite dead . He was taken up and conveyed to the publichouse , kept by Grace Brear , and surgical assistance instantly procured , but as he was dead before taken up the attendance of a surgeon was of course unavailing .
Shipley . —Sudden Death . —Mr . Ducket , tanner , near Windle Craig , died at a moment's notice , on Monday afternoon last . Thunder Storm . —The town and neighbourhood of Bradford were virited by a severe and awful thunderstorm , accompanied with hail and rain , on Monday last . IiEEDS . —Ancient Foresters . —On Monday , a new court of Ancient Foresters was opened in Leeds , at the house of Brother John Cummins , Hope and Anchor Ian , Pottery-field , when the officers and
brethren of Court Moderation , and Court Mutual Friendship , attended in their splendid regalias . Brother Thomas Stead , P . D . C . C , of the Leeds United District , delivered an address suitable for the occasion , and impressed on their minds to be united as the heart of one man , and to do justice , love mercy , and unite altogether ; and after P . O . C . R . Thos . Stead had proceeded to open the New Court "Oak , " a number of respectable yonijg men were initiated into the mysteries of this Ancient and Honourable Order , and a number more expressed their wish to be made on the next meeting .
Zoological Gardens . —Upwards of £ 100 was paid by the Temperance Society , for the use of those gardens , last week . It is estimated that more than 10 , 000 persons passed through the gate on this occasion . The Society paid-3 d . eaoh lor all who Were admitted , retaining the other 3 d . towards the expense of making good any damage to the gardens , should any be sustained , but as this was hot the case it will be a nice addition to their funds . Whilst referring to these gardens we canuot but express our regret that the committee will be driven to sell them . £ 500 mast be raised in annual subscriptions before the 6 th of June , if they are to be continued open to the public , and as yet only £ 100 has been raised . We have heard of many who are inclined to subscribe if they be canvassed , and . we would suggest to the committee the propriety of making an active canvass for subscriptions , barely there is taste enough in Leeds to raise £ 500 a-year for such a purpose .

Awful and Heartrending SveNB . ~ JPfom « Gorrespondent . r-Tiie > peaceful and romantic . ; village -of Ashover became the scene of one of the most deplorable and heartrending tragedies that ever occurred in this , or perhaps any other country * . Mir * Richard Eaton , a gentleman in independent ciroumstanoes , about sixty years of ag € f , * f& loading his gnu in the house , to go in pursuit of a mad dog , accidentally shot his Bon , ayputh abput 16 or \ . I 8 ' years of age , and immediately after , in the frenzy of the moment , took a pistol and shot himself through the head and fell dead upon the spot . The gun was loaded with slags and its contents first struck the youug man ' s arm , and after passing in an oblique direction and shattering the bone , catered his side . ' He of course
instantly dropped , but did not expire till about seven next morning ; On seeing his son fall the father was seized with an agony of grief , and exclaiming , * ' My dear son ! What shall I do ? what shall I do ! My char , dear son ! " he took a loaded pistol , rashed out into the garden , applied the muzzle just below bis right ear and fired , when the bullet , after penetratiug ihe head , passed out a little above the left ear , causing instantaneous death . Inquests were this ' day-:. held- over the bodies before , Mr . Hutchinson , the Coroner for the Hundred of Scarsdale , and verdicts returned to the effect that the son was accidentally Bhot , and that the father put an end to his own existence in a fit ef frenzy consequent upon the previous aooident .
Mr . Eaton was a gentleman very highly respected by an extensive cirole of acquaintances , to whom his urbanity of manners and his known worth had greatly endeared him . His melancholy end will be a subjeot of unfeigned grief to all who knew him . He hats left a wife and daughter , who resided'with him at Ashover , and a son who is in business in Nottingham . The yuuhger son , who has lost his life as above described , was also aa apprentice with Mr . Hioklin , the bookseller in that town , and bad returned to spend a few weeks at home , in consequence of indisposition . What adds , if possible , to
the deplorable character Of this sad catastrophe , is the circumstance that the elder son was to have been married this day , and the wedding party were to have visited Ashover , in commencing their tour of pleasure , a / id preparations were made to reoeive them , put , alaaI how changed the scene I , " ' : Ashover is about six miles to the south-west of Chesterfield : 0 ? ert < rn Hall , the seat of the late Sir Joseph Banks , is wfthin about half a mile of tbe residence of poor Mrj .

I saw him again on Whit-Tuaisday . Alas ! what a strange alteration the bloom that used to adorn his manly cheefe bad nearly all fled , his conhtenance was pale and sallow , and marked -with scorbutic ernptions I ^ toldhim he looked much worse than when I last Visited him . I asked h » W hefelt ? Hia answer was , that hia constitution was completely broken . Ho attributed It to his long confinement . Bat though hU constitution is injured , and his health impaired , his love of liberty is still nnconquered ; his spirit still remains the same , determined to battle with tyranny and oppression to the last moment of his life . He has got nine months and a few days to of his time
serve . Something ought to be done for him in order to raise his shattered constitution . He was not sentenced to hard labour , ^ and will in consequence be allowed to find his own provisions , if onr Chartist brethren will only enable him to do bo . This ¦ will cost about eight or nine shillings -weekly . The good' men and { true of Northallerton and Broropton have it itt contemplation to raise a fund for that purpose , if they can be assisted by other Chartists of the kingdom They insttucted their delegate , Mr . Isaac Wilson , t <> bring the question before the delegate meeting at Darlington , on Sunday , the 21 st inst , and to ask them to co-operate in the noble and God-like work of fescuing a fellow-creature from the horrors of starvation , while

THE NEW EXECUTIVE . We again call the attention of the people to this subject . They will find the instructions of tbe Executive as to the voting , &c elsewhere , to which we refer them . We would also beg the people generally to read the plan of organisation . Many localites , we perceive , have nominated several different candidates . This is unacoordant with rule , and must be at once corrected . Every sub-Secretary
is at liberty to nominate one candidate , but no more . Every locality ought to consider carefully the" whole range of pnblic men before them , and instruct their sub-Secretaries accordingly for the nomination . For Heaven ' s sake , let U 3 have an Executive in which the people—the whole peoplecan have entire confidence .
