Maltman ) were greatly surprised by a fish of unusual shape and dimensions becoming entangled with their net , and which on being taken up with some difficulty , proved to be a fine young shark . He measured eight feet in length by four feet eight inches of girth , and had all the characteristics of the 8 peoie 3 distinctly marked . The weight is supposed to be about twenty stone .

MANCHESTER . Dear Sib . —At the New Bailey Court on Saturday , at a quarter to one o ' clock , D . Maude , Esq . took his seat npsn the bench , -when Mr . B . M'Cartney waa placed tt tha bar . Superintendent Wo' . fend-n , of the Pendleton police force , stated , that a warrant was placed ia his hands for the apprehension of the prisoner , for having attended a meeting at Eccks on the 11 th of August , jmd there made aa inflammatory speech . Witness apprehended the prisoner in his dwelling , In
Cross-hall-Btreet , Liverpool , on Tuesday night , at half-past eleven o ' clock , and found in his possession a book containing a great number of memorandums respecting Chartist transactions . He had also a receipt in his pocket for money paid for the- use of a rojm used for holding Chartists meetings . Oa searching his house the following morning , witness found a great number of letters from various parts of the kingdom , showin ' g thut the prisoner -was extensively connected with Chartist movements . He was a dealer In Cuarlist tracts , and witness found a great number of them in hia
possession . M'Cartney cross-examined the witness—Is it part of your instructions to take down , or remember what is said by a prisoner when in your possession 1 I may do so , if I think it necessary . M'Cartney—Am I therefore at liberty to make use of what fell from yon In my own defence ? Mr . Maude—If it is a part of the conversation between you and him , you ha ^ ta a right to make UEft Of it . il'Ciittney , to the witness—Yesterday , when coming with ycu on the railway , do you remember saying you would have some difficulty in establishing the charge get forth in your warrant ? "Witness—No . M'Cartney—Do you remember saying in reply that , if you failed in this case , you would apply to have me remanded until you could establish some other charge tgainst me ?
WitnesB —1 said there were other cases that could bo provcu against you . M'Cartney—Does not that savour very much of taking a man on speculation ? Nathan Fryer , an overlooker under the Bridgewater trust , said he was at the open space near the Cross at Ecdea on the 11 th of August , between four and five o ' clock in the evening . There weie about 200 or 300 persons there , acd they were adortBsed from a cart by the prisoner and two or three others . M'Cartney addressed the meeting as " fellow-slaves , ' and commented much on the evils the working classes were suffering , all of which he ascribed to class legislation . He advised them to continue their cessation from labour until the document known aa the People's Charter , became the law of the land . He used other expressions tend ng to prove the power possessed by " rampant capital over prostrate labour "
R . chard Polliitt stated , that be was at Eccles on Wednesday , the 11 th of August SiW a crowd of three or four hundred peraens there , and several persons addressing them from a cart . The speakers advised the meeting not to go to their work until they got an advance of wages ; but when the prisoner was introduced , he advised them not to return till the Charter became the law of the land . This witness was cross-examined by the prisoner at great length , and admitted that it was the best speech be ( the witness ) had ever heard , but thought it should not be addressed to an ignorant mob . The truth should not be told at all times . Tne evidence for the prosecution here closed ; and the prisoner was remanded till Friday , when he twas again brought up , and on the application of Superinten " dent WoUenden , remanded till Friday next air . Bent , solicitor , applied for the prisoner ' s liberatioa an bail ; bat tke application was refused .

LEEDS DISTRICT . —A delegate meeting of this district was held on Sunday , at Wortley . The reports given in by the delegates were rather gloomy ; many of the localities have had their rooms taken from them on account of being charged as the originators of the late strike . This is mostly the case where the anti-Corn Law party reign dominant , particularly Morley ; in this place many of the masters have threatened the men , if they take any part in the Chartist agitation , they " may expect something they do not like . " The school-room , although it belongs to the rate-payers generally , has been refused to the Chartists ; other places are similar . The delegates present , however , were not anyway astonished at this ; they expected that the
Anti-Corn Law faction would , after their own deieat , resort to every trick , no matter however low , to put the ChartiBt agitation down ; but they will not succeed at the present day . The delegates Bet to work like men , and appointed a committee of energetic and active men to visit each plaee and get up meetings , and also to Bee thai speakers attend . This Committee has already met and determined to commence their work to-morrow afternoon , by visiting the Council at Woodhouse ; they will also visit the other places as speedily as - possible , and endeavour to cheer and rouse their brother Chartists to deeds more glorious and sure . The delegates also expressed that they were of opinion that the Bystem of appointing classes , and collectors to go round for their subscriptions , would
be of great advantage , especially at the present , for there aie those now who dare not be seen to go to the Chartist Room , for fear of being turned out of employment ; they particularly press this subject upon the attention of the Chartists . The delegates agreed that Mr . Ross , of Manchester , should be engaged for this district , for a fortnight . Mr . Brook , the scretary , has written and got answer that Air . Rcss will come , but cannot make it convenient before the 13 th . of next month , as he is engaged up to that time . The meeting , after some oiher minor business , terminated . It is to be hoped tha : the Chartists in this district will attend to the appointing of collectors , for it will bo upon this that the means of supplying the district with lectures will mainly depend for the present , and lecturers must be had . This is not the time to fall asleep .

Reported Assault at Woetley . —Wo have received information that the account which appeared ia a contemporary print on Thursday , relative to a murderous assault said to have be . n committed at this place , is without foundation . The youth who was stated to have been the subject of it , confesses to having accidentally discharged the pistol himself ; and , fearful of the displeasure of his parents for having fire-arms in his possession , he fabricated the account alluded to , in order to conceal his own fault . No imputation whatever resfs upon the paper in which the account appeared , as the statement published by it was , at the time , generally believed .

RENEWED DISTURBANCES AT MAN CHESTER . DISPERSION OF A MEETING BY THE POLICE
AND ARREST OF FIFTY PERSONS . Manchester , Wednesday night , Sept . 14 th . — Yesterday , an occurrence took place here which has occasioned a considerable sensation in the town , and not a littlftdiversity of opinion as to the propriety of the proceeding on the part of the authorities . It ib pretty generally known that since tie recent turnout of hands in this county , the weavers , ( i . e those who weave at power-looms ) have , up to this time , continued idle ; but few having chosen to return to their employment at the present rate of wages . During the time of this cessation from labour , which iB now about six weeks , that class of
operatives have been lmng chiefly on the bounty of others who appear to sympathise with their case . Meetings have accordingly been held at different times and places , to distribute the alms thus obtained , and so far as we can learn , this has been done with a fairness and an impartiality highl y creditable to those to whom this business has been entrusted . A meeting of this kind , and for the purpose abovenamed , took place yesterday at the Chartist meeting room , in Brown-street , An coats , a very large portion of which consisted of females , who are generally engaged at power-looms , in preference to men . As the room is but small , the number of persons who had to receive * portion of these subscriptions exceeded

Ihe accommodation it afforded , and were consequently obliged to remain outside . The people ^ however , were perfectly quiet , and did not exhibit the slightest symptom of disorderly conduct , nor was the least danger apprehended from their assembling in the manner already stated , inasmuch as it was known that they had met to receive their share of the contributions , which amounted to threepence each—the allowance of each for a week ! At the outset , a question arose as to whether it would be better to divide the money , and give to each an equal portion , or to spend it altogether ia the purchasing of potatoes , which , it was alleged , could be bought much cheaper by wholesale , and then each woald havo nearly double the quantity that could
be purchased for the threepence . In the meantime information was conveyed to the Town Hall of this assemblage , and a strong body of special constables , headed by Captain Sleigh and Superintendent Sawley on horseback , wore despatched to the spot , to disperse the crowd . These were met ia Travisstreet , by lnspeotor Cochrane , with a body of the regular police , equal ia number to the special constables , all of whom went in a body to the place . On their arrival , the people appeared to be somewhat astonished , but for a few moments did not make the slightest movement ; and , considering the multitude , a most singular silence prevailed for several seconds . At length , Superintendant Sawley called upon them to disperse . This order not being promptly obeyed , a groan , hero and there , was heard to issue from the throng , whereupon orders
were giveu to the police to surround the people . As soon as the police made a movement for this purpose the orowd began to move rapidly off in all directions which were open , but the principal outlet being at that moment closed by another body of police , the crowd was driven back , when forty three persons were taken into custody . No stones , however , were thrown at that time , nor was any attempt made to rescue the prisoners . The officers then fell into marching order with their prisoners , headed b y Captain Sleigh , and Superintendent Sawley , on horseback , as before , and returned to tho Town Hall , where the prisoners were all safely lodged . So quiet , however , was tke whole business , that although the distance from the place of meeting to the Town Hall is a good mile , no crowd was collected round the procession of officers and prisoners .
Mr . Superintendent Beswiok remained at the place of meeting for a short time afterwards , but the people went quietly away—many , very many of them without receiving the little means of relief , tho hope of receiving which alone had called them to the place .
EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONERS . This morniDg the whole of the prisoners were brought up at the Borough Court , before D . Maude and A . Watkin , Esqrs . The following prisoners were first brought up —• Matthew HHtchinson , Joseph Mills , Ed . McDonald , Patrick Duffey , John Booth , Hugh Read , Samuel Denton , Thomas Grey , Robert Fletcher , and Win . Denton . Superintendent Sawley stated what we have given in substance above . He added that there were no stones thrown , nor any violenoe whatever resorted to on the part of the assembly .
A special constable , whose name did not transpire , stated that he had been at Brown-street in company with another special conftable , about three quarters of » n hour before Mr . Sawley oame up . When there , be was attacked by some of the people , and one stone was thrown at him , | which did not hurt him . He then desired the other man to go to the Kirby-street station to give information . He could not identify any of the prisoners as having asFaultcd him . The other special constable then stated that on the previous afternoon , about three o ' clock , he saw a crowd at the head of Travis-Btreet , and went to see what it was . The people were gathered in clusters
here and there , near the railroad . He and the other constable went to disperse them , and they succeeded in getting them to movo off . A great number of them then went to the head of Store-street , where they collected again and he ( witness ) and his companion went again to disperse them . Instead of going away however they began to cheer , and make a noise . Ho ( witness ) looked round to see who was cheering , when he was struck on the back with a stone , but it did not hart him . He turned round again when the people again began to cheer , and another stone was thrown . He then sent the other officer to the station to give information . He could not identify any of the prisoners as being of tho party .
Mr . John Taylor , solicitor , who appeared for the prisoners , said he did not know by what law these parties were interfered with at all . They had met for a specific purpose , and they had a right to meet . That was a matter which he apprehended nobody would dispute . It was given in evidence that there waa no violence resorted to by any party then present , that there was not the slightest fear entertained of a breach of the peace , and he could not conceive on what authority , or on what pretext theso parties were taken into custody . Thoy had mot to receive a dividend from a general fund which they could not receive without meeting : and he apprehended they had a perfect right to meet for this purpose , and that tho meeting could not by any law that he knew of be
construed into an illegal meeting so long as they were peaceable . They were peaceable ; they met quietly ; there wa 3 no intimidation ; there were no threats ; no riot ; no tumult ; no disturbance , nor tho veriest shadow of a disturbance until the police came to disperse them , which he maintained they had no right to do . If this was uot a lawful purpose he should like to knew what was ; if that was an illegal meeting be should like to know what woald be a legal one . Why , the authorities might just as well have sent a body of police to disperse the crowd which had assembled round Mr . Bake's Hotel last night to hear the news of the winner of the Doncaster St . Leger ; or they might as well call out the military to drive away the crowd now assembled at the dosr of that Court-house . If however there was any law to
prevent these people from meeting in the way and for the purposes which had been proved , any law , which while it tolerated the meetings of masters authorised the dispersion by force of the meetings of the workpeople , any law of this nature of which he had never heard or read , all that he could do in the matter was to plead the ignorance of his clients as an excuFe , for he would venture to assert that out of the fifty who had been apprehended , not one of them was aware that he was committing any offence . He considered the special constables altogether to blame in this matter , interfering where they had no authority . He had witnesses to prove the general good character of these men ; and among them was Mr . Simpson the manager of Mr . Guest ' s mill at Holt Town .
Mr . Simpson was then caHed , but did not answer . Mr . Sawley stated that hs had been in the Court for the purpose of speaking to the characters of some of the prisoners , but had gone . Thomas Lanj > all was then called . Mr . Maude—What are you ? Witness—I have been a small shopkeeper . Mr . Maude—Have been ! What are you now ! Witness—I have been unfortunate in business . Mr . Maude—What are you now 1 How do you get your living ? Witness—I have a little money left , which 1 am living on at present . Mr . Maude—Where do you live ? Witness—In Brown-street , close to the place of meeting .
The wifnes 3 then , in answer to questions by Mr . Taylor , proceeded to state that he was there yesterday ; that he had a wife and child ; that his wife was not alarmed ; that there was no riot , nor the appearance of a riot . He saw Mr . Beswick come up ( he meant Mr . Sawley ) , who said he should be obliged to put a stop to this . They were perfectly peaceable and quiet , till the police camo up , when they attempted to run away . They frequently met on that ground . I heard no violent language , nor was there anything bordering on a disturbance . James Austin was next called . ( Mr . Maudn—What are you , Sir ? Witness—I am a spinner by trade . Mr . Maade—Who do you work for \ Witness—I have not spun any since Christmas .
Mr . Maude—Who did you work for last ? Witness—I worked for Mr . Ogden twenty-four years . Mr . Maude—How do yougetyoor living now , sir Witness—I keep a small shop just near the spot . The witness , in answer to Mr . Taylor ' s questions , tken stated as follows : —Some of the people were on my steps when this affair took place . I saw nothing that was alarming . All was peaceable and quiet . I have often seen thorn rjeet there before . They had met to receive a little money that had been collected for them . I was in my house the whole of the day , and saw the whole of the meeting . I never saw a stone thrown . Everything was as quiet and peaceable as could be . I saw the whole transaction from the beginning to the end . Mr . Maude—What time did they begin to meet ?
Witness—It might be just after dinner . When Mr . Sawley came up there was a man telling some of the people to go to Mitchell ' s Tavern to receive their dividends . Richard Wailer , James M'Lellan , John M'Gaw , James Knight , Robert Birrell , Thomas Harwick , and Thomas Allnm , after undergoing a scrutinizing questioning from Mr . Maade , all gave similar testimony . Mr . Maade asked whether there was any evidence against any party for throwing stones ! No evidence being forthcoming the prisoners ware each ordered to enter into their own recognizances , in the sum of £ 20 each , to keep the peace for thre f months , Mr . Maade observing that this was a very serious case .
A decent looking woman , named Alice Korshaw , was next put up , and charged with creating a disturbance while the police were conducting the prisoners to the . ' ock-up . She was ordered to find two sureties in £ 15 each to keep the peace for three months , and to give twenty-four hours notice of her bail .

The remainder of the forty-three prisoners were then brought up and disposed of in a similar manner , all the officers stating that the prisoners were doing nothing wheu the ; took them , and that there was no violence ! Six women , named Sarah Massey , Esther Anderson , Jane Fletcher , Jane Haonay , Dinah Yates , and Ann Soott , were then put up , charged with being part of a crowd of femaleB who had collected near the poor house on the Strafford New Road , for tho same purpose as the weavers who had met in Brown-street . They however were discharged .
ANOTHER LARGE MEETING Tookjrplace to-day , near the reservoir , at which several thousands of persons were present . Constant communications were kept up between it and the Town Hall , and a large police force was £$ nt to the place . They did not , however , interfere with the meeting .

EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN 8 TAB . Sib , —As the Star ia the acknowledged organ of right and justice , I trust that , if you have not received an account of the extraordinary matter referred to in this letter from some other source , you will givo it insertion . The statement it contains has been publicly made , and it has been said that you know it to be true . I can only say that if it be true the wretch who figures in it as the hero of the story , deserves to be hooted from every society into which he may intrude hia polluted carcase , aud that any body of Chartists hereafter associating with , or acknowledging him , will much disgrace them selves . But to my tale . ~ A man living at Armley or Wortley , as I understood , of the name of George Myers , has , for some
considerable time , sold Chartist tracts and publications ia the Chartist Room , Cheapside . He was there on Sunday evening last , when a sermon was delivered by Mr . Smith . There was a crowded audience , and the discourse was listened to with great attention . After the service , Mr . Smith said that he did not often trouble public meetings with matter personal to himself , but so atrocious an outrage had been committed in his house and on his family by George Myers , that he thought it right to put the Chartist public on thoir guard against a man 60 utterly devoid of all principle . He then proceeded to state that some time ago , while absent on a Chartist lecturing tour , accompanied by his wife , and leaving their only child , a girl , about
seventeen years of age , at home alone , this Myers came to his house , to purchase some Chartist tracts . Finding that the girl was the only person at home , he loitered , professing to admire some ornaments on the chimney piece , among which was the head of a somewhat curious tobacco pipe . The girl , though she had no acquaintance with him , knowing him to be one of her father ' s Chartist friends , made no scruple to gratify his curiosity by showing him a small collection of medals and coins which she thought might interest him . This was in the sitting-room of Mr . S ., in which th ' re is a bed ; acd the villain , Myers , watching a favourable opportunity , seiEed the girl , and threw her on the bed aud violated her .
Tha poor girl , fearing : the anger of her parents , concealed from them all knowledge of the matter until she found further concealment impossible , and then made the above statement to her mother . Such was the statement of Mr . S ; and he stated further that , he was afc first disposed to disbelieve the girl ' s story ; believing Myers incapable of any such thing ; but that Myors , on beinc ? confronted with the girl in your presence , aud that of Mr . Hobson and Mr . Brook , admitted tho truth of her story , so far as connection was concerned , but denied that he used force ; and that he treated the whole matter with great levity , affirming that the girl put the temptation in hia way by showing him the coins , &c , and using many other brutal and heartless expressions .
Now , Sir , if this statement be true , this is a gross outrage on all the sanctities of friendship and on all the decencies of civilised life . Wo have had much said and woll said about supporting and dealing with our friends ; and I think it a maxim that Chartists should act on . But I suppose nobody will pretend that the man who could deliberately abase the child of a Chartist lecturer at the -very time when her father was absent labouring for the Chartist cause is any friend to Chartism . If the statement be truo , the man Myers is a brute unfit for any society whatever : if it bo not true , Smith is a devil . If the statement be true , I think the least mark of protection and support the Leeds Chartists can afford their public advocates is to show that they repudiate and abhor the wretch who could so far trample on all our sacred principles as this fellow ,
Myers , has done ; the least evidence of principle they can shew is to take care that he be not longer permitted to live out of the movement which he has so thoroughly disgraced . Of the thousands of men now unemployed , there is surely one honester and more worthy of support than this brute , Myers , aud if there be I do think that the Leeds Chartists ought to teach this George Myers , that he must hereafter work for his own living , and not live out of profits made among them . I am the more inclined to believe Smith ' s statement , because he referred sa > confidently to yourself and others , as being able to bear him out in it ; and I think that , as you are cited as one of hiB witnesses , it is your duty to publish either a confirmation or denial of his statemeut . That is my opinion ; I am a plain man and speak plainly . Yours ,

Several members addressed the meeting , the tendency of whose remarks went to show their sympathy for their suffering English brethren , their regret that any
division should have sprung up between Mes .-rs . O'Connor and O'Brien , and their determination to adhere to the principles of real Radical reform as contained in the Charter , at all sacrifices and despite every opposition .

Indeed the state of the funds there was hors de comlat . The meeting was altogether of a most exhilirating character . Nothing can surpass the enthusiasm of the association , as their prospects are now opening and they feel confident of eventual

Leeds Woollen Markets . —Although there was a better market at the Cloth Halls on Saturday last , than has been the case for some time past , there has not been so much actual basiness doing in the town , as there was in the week preceding , and the demand for all sorts of manufactured goods has been doll ia comparison , in the warehouses . The American tariff is said to be unfavourable f the trade of this country , furnishing an advance of twenty pet cent , upon the rates paid ia Clay ' s Compromise Bill . The wool market has been heavy , and very little doing .
HUDDERSFIELD ClOTH MiBKET , TUESDAY , SEPT 20 th . —Our market this day was but thinly attended , and very little business done in any department in the Hall . It appears buyers prefer visiting the respective warehouses on the Wednesday ; and it is said that more business is now done on the latter than tho former day . The extent of bnsiness done in the warehouses cannot be ascertained . YoKit Corn Market , Sept . 17 . —We are well supplied with new Wheat to-day , the quality gene * rally superior , but the condition only indifferent . The prices asked are higher than our buyers are disposed to give , and the amount of business dose is not large , though a decline of Is . to 2 * . per qr , is submitted to on all qualities . Oats are fully £ d per stone lower ; Barley and Beans almost nominal , for want of supply .
Malton Corn Market , Sept . 17 . —The quantity of Grain offering at our market this day is fair for the season of the year . Wheat , of real fine quality , and in good condition , is without alteration in value ; inferior sorts are Is . per quarter lower . Oats id per stone lower . Barley nominal . Marchester . Market , Tuesday , Sept . 20 . —There was a quiet market both for goods and yarn ; and ia the absence of any brisk demand , pricss shewed some tendency to recede .

There were fair importations of foreign Wheat and Oats during the past week . From the increased supply of new Wheat and the falling off in the condition of it , the trade was very dull for English this morning at a decline of full 2 s . per quarter generally , and iu some instances 33 . per quarter lower was taken than oa this
day week , with a merely retail demand for foreign at about Is per quarter abatement in price . Ship flour declined Is per sack , and was not taken so freely , but there was no change in the value of town made . There was a , brisk sale for prime Malting Barley at an advance of fall Is per quarter . Malt was without alteration in value , good qualities being saleable ia small quantities at full rates . New Beans being rather soft were taken slowly at rather lower rates . Peas were much the same as last week , and iu moderate demand . The Oat trade was not brisk , good corn made as much mosey from the consumers , but the large dealers bought sparingly .

Oatmeal was in moderate request ; bat , to effect sales of either old or new , rather lower rates were accepted .

GEORGE WHITE . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —You and the country will no doubt be anxious to bear concerning the case of our friend Mr . George White , You will find it reported by Mr . Thorn , in the Star of the 3 rd iuaiant , that ball had been tendered to the magistrates , consisting of Measrs Renton , Nurse , Cjrbet , &o ; on their being refused by the above self-styled , other' bail were offered , namely , Messrs . O'Connor , Watts , Oliver , aud Taylor ; on being applied to , the magistrates' clerk at once informed the deputations
that Mr . Taylor had been rejected , and that they ( the clerks ) wanted to see M . Oliver ; that gentleman immediately repaired to the public office , when the clerks began to use all tho powers they were possessed of , to try and intimidate him from standing bail ; when they found that he was not to be moved by all their insolence , they immediately said that they also rejected Mesars O'Connor and Watts , on account of their insufficiency , and that we must find another individual to stand along with Mr . Oliver , and give forty eight hours' notice . Then the magistrates would consider better of it and let us know if they thought proper to accept them or not .
Now , Mr . Editor , do let it be understood , that after having the required notice of forty-eight hours , when waited upon , they want another forty-eight hoars to consider of the responsibility of the parties . Do you call this justice ? is it rather not tyranny of the deepest dye ? It iB evident that they do not intend taking any bail at all ; they are afraid to let the rampant lion from his den , lest be should have an opportunity of preparing a defence against the unsubstantiated charges brought against him . Two individuals , unconnected
with party politics , having a large amount of property , have come forward and offered their services aa bail ; they bare been tendered , but we do not know the result Tbe committee for his defence are doing all they can in the matter . They have written to Mr . O'Connor respecting bringing the case before the Judges in Chambers ; they have also issued an address to the Trades of Birmingham . Yours , &c , Charles Thorpe .
[ We are compelled to leave out the address ; bat hope earnestly that tbe trades of Birmingham , among whom it is circulated in print , will heartily respondjto it—Ed . ]
