They wither lite liliies—as lovely and pale ! From thy plains ev " ry pastoral pistime is banish'd , And the steh of affection encumbers thy gale .
Ah ! vain were the wars that with laurel once crown'd thee . And vain the bright deeds that emblezon thy name ! 01 twas not the " streamer" in shackles that bound tbee , But thine own sordid offspring that sold thee to shame !

ADDRESS TO THE STARVING MILLIONS . Hy suffering fellow-countrymen , and women , A day of retribution ' s drawing near ; Yet wait awhile ; the bla ckening storm is coming The hand of justice will for you appear ; your tears and groans , your voiceless agonias , . Areijssrf , a * "i God to aid yen -trill arise-Ciasa jegisistlTe tyrants are confounded ; Tnej ceai the spirit of the coming storm , TiTtsh rocks , and shoals , and breakers , now surrounded , The old state vessel will be wreck'd and torn ; Can sbe escape with such a drunken crew ? No , shs will perish—sure as ( J- > d is trua . Twas fell oppression overthrew prcud Rome , E ^ ypt , and Greece , and Babylon , of old ; Junta wo ; oppression seal'd her doom ,
Tho' she was once Jehovah's chosen fold ; Inland is past the zenith of HER glory ; And she will fall like lands of ancient story . Judicial blindness , with its darkling pall , Has dTopp'd upon her aristocracy ; They xear deep nEto deep of misery call , Yei man ' s Binblcon can no dagger see . Ye starving millions w ^ it ! the hour is nigh ; And find ' s long-suffering mercy ' s passing by . Let eo designing knave , of either faction , Arouse your passions , or your souls irfhme ; Xet peace , law , order , mark your every action , And shoar them you are worthy of a name At which all tyrants tremble—Patriots be , Noi in aame only , tut reality . The-miaaieclass , «) lerg , alas ! deluded ,
3 y venal scribblers of the factious press , With our long-suffering millions , soon included , Will join iis heart and hand to get radres 3 ; Then the rich few oppressors must submit , And crouch , like beaten spaniels , at our feet Hark ! how the spirit of th ? coming storm , Sends its portentous b # omings from afar ! It blsw great gana , to get the mock reform , Welch only taught us all wia * fooia we were . But now , a fierce wrnado will descend , And God will prcve he is the poor man ' s friend .

LfuSflg . —Crceltt to a Hobse . —Oh Monday last , ivo yonns men from Huddersfield , named Joseph Cotrdill and David Ackroyd , were charged before the Leeds magistrates , with being drunk and using excessive cruelty to a horse , which they had in a £ ig , in which they , along vrith another man were riding , on Sunday afternoon . A policeman who witnessed their condnct , took them into
custody ; they had broken the whip , and Cowdill , who ww driving , was beating the horse unmercifully with the thick end of the Etick , besides having dmen it at snch a Fpeed as to cause complete exhaustion . The horse and gig were sjatcd to have been hired irom Mr . Elam , of Huddersfield . The prisoners said nothing in their defence ; Cowdill was Sued twenty shillings and costs , for cruelty to the horse , and Ackroyd fire shillings for being drunk . The fines were oaid .
Zsbizzusg Mosey . —On Tuesday last , a man named Joseph Kenplay , -who has been for some years shopman to Mr . Robert Wright , shoemaker , Brisgate , w ? 3 broDgbt before the magistrates at the Court House , on a charge of having embezzled various sums of moEey , ine property of his employer . The prison *? w& 3 taken into custody in the" week , previous , on a charge of having , at various times , mien shoe 3 from hb employer ' s stock , and from the fcvider c « then addnced , it appeared that he had b- ^ n tmplojed by Mr . Wright as a confidential servant for the last twelve years , during which period he-mo ? , entire cosSdence was placed in his honesty . A r = ! 5 urt time since , information was commnnicated to Mr . Jiises , superintendent of the night police , ilia ; lhe pri-oner was disposing of boots and shoes in a candcBiiDe manner , in consequence of which inquiries were set on foot by Mr . James and Mr . " WVtfbt , which resulted in a confirmation of the
Eu ? 5 iejcns previously entertained , and he was taken imp cuFtody . It seems that the prisoner , about eiibieen months ago , had commenced supplying certa : ii women with boots and shoes , at considerably le > * than half price . The prisoner had left several pzTcds zi the thop of Mr . Simpson , butcher , Nonhsir . ^ t , to be forwarded to the women , who lived at 1 ^ cm bay , and one of them , directed to a Mrs Worcester , and containing two pairs of shoes , 5 i consequence of havimj been taken to _ wrr . u 5 tiace , fell into the hacQS of tie police . L ' ^ vrnmaieiy Mr , and Mrs . Simpson , though conhdmt in their own tainds that the prisoner was the P « -on who had left the parcel , were unwilling to
E * tax to him , and on account of tois Bnk in the chila of evidence being wanting , it was thongbt there was not sufficient evidence to commit the prisoner for trial at the SrssionB , Mr . Daraton Lnpton , addressing the prisoner , said that there could be no dtral doubi of his guilt , and that he had robbed his Eia- ? k-r to a serious amount , and pointed out to him tte gro ? 3 ingratitude of his condnct . He was then dvraissed , with the understanding that the _ case tbcTjid be re-bpened , should anything transpire to warrant such a course . The evidence then adduced brought te Jight the fact , that both Mrs . Diekenson *? a Mrs . "Worcester ( to whom he had represented himself as the proprietor of the shop ) had purchased
and paid for articles on the premises j and it being the dnty of the prisoner to keep an account of all lconeys received by him , in a book kept for the purple , an examination of thiB book was made by Mr . Wnght and Mr . James , eonjointly ; but ao disoovtry of the sums stated tin one ease half-a-crown , and in the other thn e shilliDgs , ) could be found . Under these circumstarcea , therefore , Mr . Lnpton was applied to , who , after hearing the statement of Mr . "Wright to this effect , concluded that there waa fnffieient evidence to warrant the re-appearance oi Kemplay , and he was again taken into custody . The whole of the testimony having been heard , tail the depositions taken , he was committed . for trial oa both' charges .

Thb " Disobdkely House" Nuisance . —On Monday last , a young girl , who gave her name Elizabeth Bird , bat whose real name was said to be Burdctt , wa * charged before the magistrates at the Court House , b y one of the nightly watch , with disorderly condnct in the Btreet , at an early hour on Sunday morning . Her protectress , a Mary Greenwood , the keeper of a brothel in Bridge-street , waa also placed at the bar , on a charge of having attemptedto rescue the " young lady" from the hands of the watchman . Elizabeth ' s conduct , as described by the watchman and other persons , was disgusting in the extreme ; and several respectable parties came forward to prefer complaints against Greenwood , for keeping
a notoriously disorderly house of the very worst descr iption , where it was proved upwards of a dozen young l&ds , the eldest not more than sixteen years of age , had been frtquently known to be congregated at untimely hours of the night . The magistrates , Mr . Grace and Mr . Lnpton , expressed their determination to put a stop to this , if possible ; and , after ordering an indictment to be preferred at the next sessions , they sent Miss Bird to Wakefield for a month , as a lewd and disorderly character , and ordered Greenwood to enter ir , to recotrnizinces with two respectable householders , in £ 20 each , to keep the peace for three months . In default of this , she was committed for thai time .
Stealing "Pbjm . —On Monday last , two young lads named Wm . Howgite , alias Joseph Gatehouse , and John Purness , were brought up at the Court House , on . a charge of having sto ' en a piece of printed calico . A policeman met the prisoners in Smnegzte , oa Saturday , one of whom bad lhe piece of print under his arm . On being questioned he said his father had bought is to make dresses for his mother and sister ; bnt failing to give satisfactoryreplies to other question ? , and being a known thief , he was taken into custody , his companion being permitted at that time to go . He was , however , subsequently , taken on another charge — that of pocket picking—and they were placed at the bar together ; the print was identified by a shopman of Mr . Smith , draper , Briggate , as his master ' s property , and which had been stolen from within that gentleman ' s shop door , on Thursday or Friday . They were borh committed for trial . Howgate has been -previously convicted .
Pating dear fob a "Deck . "— On Monday last-, a man nanaed Wm . Jackson , -was brought up at the Court House , on a charge of having kicked over a stall in Y . car-lane , on Saturday ni ^ ht , by which the whole stock-in-trade of Mrs . Garbu : t , an extensive dealer in those savoury morsels-entitled " halfpenny ducks , " had been sent rolling in the k ^ nn *} . It would seem that Jackson , about eleven o ' clock on the night in question , bad , after drinking pretty freely , fallen hufi ^ ry , and visited ibe complainant's stall ti get a relish ; he gave her a penny for hi ^ duck , and when he had eaten it , declared that she had not given him hie change . This she denied , and told him to feel . in hisponketp , when , although he said he had not- a halfpenny , one was found there . He then got vexed , and without more ado sent hi 1 ? foot amongst the ducks , and away thty flew , scattering the graty in all directions . The woman valued her loss at 3 i . 6 d ., which sum he was ordered to pay .
Boxakg . —On Tuesday la « t , a mail named Tho ? . Archer , residing » t New Road F-nd , was brought before the Magistrates at the C urt House , on a warrant charging him with having been a principal in a prize fig't , which took place on the 28 'h of June , in a field belonging to Mr . Atkinson , at S ^ enlane , by which damage to sorco a mount was committed . The n 3 me of the other man is Riley , but he has aot on ? of the way . The damage , as mads ouj by tf } B WimPSSSS , amounted to the sum Of 12 s . one half of which , with the cost ? , he was ordered to pay : biaides in addition entering into Tecogn ] - Zinces with two sureties in £ 10 each , to keep the peace for twtlve months .
" A little Bi ief Authority . "—On Tuesday last , a perron moving a respeciable sphere of li ' e , appeared in the "dock at the Court House , tho charge against him , as entered on the police ( sheet , bemjj an assault on a watchman . When the case was caHed on , the accused party presented himself before the bench with a pair of the mc ^ t awful-louking black eyes it is possible to imagine . The mwgi-tra us appeared struck when they beheld the plight he was in , and rncr , e so vrhen his accuser , a watchman , named David BelJ , did not even present the appearance of a mark . Bell swore quite caohy that be found me prisoner in company with a woman in Gcorge-strfcet ,-at four o'clock in the morning ; they were making a noise , anc he desired ineoi to desist ,
upon wh : ch he was struck by the prisoner in the face . He then took him into custody , when he became very violent , and thr . w bim&elJ oa the ground , declaring he would not go to prison . In Vicarlane the y had a severe ttr-jggle and there another watchman came to his assistance . Tyas , theorb > r watchman alluded > o ' inere ] y deposed to mis . When asked by what means the prisoi-er ' s eyes had betn Drought ti > their present state , BeL rt-pJied ; hat he had done them himself by falhng doicn the prhoji steps 1 Mr . Read told ibis auirdian of the night tha ; such a ih ' mg was impossible , and that he must hare been mo ^ t savagdy struck at . The accused declared that he had not fallt-n down the prison steps , but that Bill , after saying that he haa Iouj ;
warned him , and would then pay h > m on , struck him in the prison yard , and his blood was iht-re tnen to testify . The magistrate ? , after consulting together , fined the prison r twenty shiiiiiiRs and costs , intimating that ih-y should have fined him £ 5 , but thij thought the wa ' . c'nman had exceeeded his dn T y . by striking him in the manner he had done . Tne fine was paid , and at the » lose oi the business of the day , Mr . Lupton , a ^ dressmt the watchman , toid him tha * . he had evidently greatly exceeded his duty ; and a watchman was never justified in using greater severity than was necessary
for his owp safety , which it was qaite evident hart been done in this case . If a proper statement of the case was made to the Watch Com mi : tee , it would probabiy lead to his dismissal . We hope , for the creditor' the "force , " that a statement of the case will be laid before the Watch Committee , atid that such a punishment will be awaraed to the brute as he richly deserves . He is evidently not fit to be entrusted with the powers which his present situation-confers , and the sooner he is deprived of the means of doing mischief the better . We think the magistrates ought to have made a representaiion of the circumstances to the Watch Committee .
MrBDEBorrs Assault . —On Snnday forenoon , a quarrel took place in a bouse of ill fame in Yorksireer , kept by a . Mrs . Thompson , between a man named Thom » ts Carrall , aud a girl named Ann M'Cartiiey . Carrall , it appears , was drunk , and pome unpleasantness had arisen in consequence of the female ' s mother wishing her dajj ^ hier E' -t- to have anything to do wjth htm . He had found this our , and declared if he could not have her , nofeody else should . He then se zed a r * zor , and before he coold be prevented , had drawn it across the unfonnnate girl's throat , who fell , weltering is
blood . T / ie screams of the women in the hou-e j alarmed the neighbourhood , by whom two watchmen who lire in the same street-were called in . On inquiry i for the mail thej found he hadgoueupsiairs , and when i they wens there they fonnd that he h 2 d atiempted to cm his own throat also . He was laid on the floor j bleeding profusely . Mr . Ward , surgeon , was immediately called , whorendered every necessary aid , ' and the man was soon aft * r removed in custody , his wound being only superficial .

CAKIiISUH . —Unpopularity of the Ntw Pook Law . —A numerous meeting of the ratepayers of t ;; e lcj ; rnsh : p of Ricker ^ ato took place in the Parish Church , en FriJay iast , Mr . John Andrew in the chair , to tike ia'o consideration the propriety of makintc a new valaa : i « 'u of the property in the town ^ - iip , v . h-11 it v . 'as u ^ animol ;^] y agreed that uo n ^ w valuation was nccvi ^ -ary , more especially as a verj c ^ rtect one hud been nv \ drs u few jenTsa ^ o . A Ctmmituo was th > u oppoiijttd to examino th .

This course haB forced it-elf
upon the ratepayers , in consequence of the heavy inercas- of their bunhens ui ; der the operation of the New Poor Law , and it is expected that simiiar proc ^ vciiniis will be adopted by other places in the U-. > ion . This we consider very ominous as to the tVeiiiiiis of the ratepayers in general as regards the esvensive working ot the New Poor Law , which the Whig * have si > much applauded , but who now bpgiii to feel the hardship of that accursed measure . There is probably no district where parish affairs vrcrc bfiUer managed tii 3 n ihev were lure under the old law ; and if the raiepayers had foreseen the evils which have now come upon them by the operation of the New Poor Law , they woulo never have allowed it to come into operation . It is not the iit ( at JDCrtase of paapers , but tj . e heavy t-xpence of krfpinu a uarc " ] of ifrpu ^ eiit aud tiomineerin ^ officials , who me of no L-arrhJy use .
