Three rooms were at that time furnished—the twi-room , dressing-roora , and drawing-room . ' ily family consists of two servants—a houRe-uiaid and a boy . The boy is what is called a tieer , if you like , 1 and the housemaid is cook and housekeeper as w ^ ll— ; if you pleass , you may call her maid cf all work . 1 j baye parted with them bo ' rh since this affair ocenrred j —abuat three trteks tfier Alice w-.-nt away .

Mr . Adfiphns— vv hat , and did you lock up her hairbrasies nsd bottles in the drawer ? ' "Witcess—I always locked the drawer when I left 1 the room . I had some friends to csli on me whilst she ' . was in tbs hcuse . I cannot say wbo they were . 1 ' remember two , Mr . Brorodaile and Mr . Mallty . They ¦ were both aitomers . They did not c :- > ma en my busiress , but cs that cf other persons . They never saw the I prisoner . Htr own friends cime three or four or five tidies a werk to visit har . When Mitchell broncbt her i tbe firs : ai ? lit , her name was not mentioned , nor was thtr- - - a word sai 4 about htr . ' The C-.-crt—Tell all that parsed . . ' 31 is 3 Mittte . 1 brought me tickets for her benefit , and ' I took some to circulate . She did rot remain ten : I j '
minutes at tee mast . I have not been in the habit ; of circulating tickets for the benefit of players . I have done so for Miss Mitchell three or four times . i Mr . Adolphts—How came yon to te intimate with 1 her ? - j Witness—She had been in Amerisa , and she brought me a letter-frcm a person wbo knew me , requesting that I would assist her if I could , and I did so . This ¦ wiis about a year aco . i Hr . Adolpaus—And did she have four benefits in i one year ? I
Witness—Yes ; when tbe prisoner came to me I did j rot ask her where she came from , or wfco she was . ' She ratroisced herswlf so suddenly that I had not time . i Mr . Adolphus—Are we then to ¦ understmd that a j 8 trane > -r , wjtiont introduction , was received into a : nobltm m ' s house at cine o ? ten o ' clock at night , i and Tras permi ^ . d to atop there nearly two months . ¦ without b ^ ir . g aaked who she was , or where the : came from ?

witae&s—I sever ask where people come from . I did not isk b ^ r all tbe time she stopped . I told her if i she liked to etop sfce mus : not bs running abcut tbe i streets , at-1 if she chose to ? e Eb . 9 must stay away . I Eever had 237 otiser woman living with me in this way ' before . I have children . >> oth in mnrriage and other- "i ¦ wise . Tbe womaa by whom I have children , oat cf I marriage , lived with n ; e seven years , and did jest as she ; liked . The pris-Eer went awr . y about nire O ' clock , on . the 22 nd of Je ' . j-, sr > vi about tea o ' clock I missed the j things . I sen . the H > an-8 ervant to Bichmond-bnildings , i where prisoner ssia btr sister lived , and no such person \ lived there . I then sent to Mr . Weoller , my solicitor . ' I cannot s ^ y how loaz h& has bee n my solicitor . I . have to him whe wanted to send to the
applied n I police-office or the lite . I am not in tbe habit of hav- i ing business at tbe police-offices . Mr . Wooller advertised tbe things wbicb were missing , and circulated j hand-bills . I ntver appeared at a police-office except in this transaction . I remember the case of an itslian boy . I did not go to the police-cffice then , but I was fined . I fesve eniplcjed Mr . Wooiler to go for me to : tbe polic 3-cffice about tlie organs acd nuUaDcea of that sort When I was fiaed about the Italian boy , Mr . ; Lewis was my solicitor , and attended for me . I use ^ i to i dine at home e 7 ery day whilst tha f irl at the bar was there . I have seen her wtar the tar-rings and also ore ; of the miniatures . They were all kept in the same drawer , and all in their own cases .
Mr . Adolphcs—You say that she was in want of Clothes whtn she came to you . and tb . 3 t you supplied ; her . How did they come to her ? i Witness—I wrote by port to ths dress-makers , at her request , and they came to her . i Mr . Acoiphus—Why , have you not teld me before tfcat you went yourself to Mrs . Deacon ' s , in Regentstreet , and ordered the things ? ~ ; Witness—I did not . , Mr . Cbrkson objected to this mode of examination . Mr . Adolphus—Why the an «? rer ia in the depo-i zitiGns . i
Witness—Perhaps » o ; but I aevei said it . Mitchell msan actress when I first knew ber . It never bap - pene-i th it any other young l&dy besides this came in her company . Aa soon as I missed the things I inquired and Bent to Mr . Wooler . I received two letters from , prisoner a fortnight ot three weeks after she left me . The post-mark on one is July 29 . This was a week * tar « he lefc me . It is the first letter . Toe second letter is dated August 3 , and about that time I received it I sent the letters to Mr . Wooler . Patterns of her dresses were sent to n > y house in a basket , and she fitted them on . I never gave Mis 3 MitcheU " any dressis . Mr . Adolphua—Neither male nor female ? Lerd Frankfort—She was going to act in ft uniform dress—she did not know what coat to wear , and 1 gave her a pattern—a little pattern—which she took to her tailors .
B 7 tha Court—It tne about nine vhen the prisoner went away . I was in the library over the bed-room . I had left the drawer locked , and when I came down I found k locked . I opened it .

I produce a splendid ebony cafe , which j w&s left on the 30 th cf September . Tbe whole ol the 1 things pledged wete in the name of " Chester , " the enly nsms I knew tbe young woman by . Those were the duplicates returned ( produced ) , and not the ones I gi ~ e the prisoner .

¦ Cress-examined—I knew the prisoner ' s person very well . I cmnot swer-r that the articles pledged before the 30 th of September , were pledged by the prisoner . I r'ever saw any bills relating to tho property in question . Had tbe this ? been mentioned to me , as stated , in July . I fbculd not have lent money on them in September . I heard no recommendation to eecresy when th&y were pledged . I asked tbe questions abont tbe articles whi-n they were br 6 ucht , and I was satisfied , being told tbe-y were presents . I knew sh « was living with a nobleman . I have frequently known her in « uch ciriuaist 3 Hces . I have known her for four or five years under similar circumstances . I did not know that she lived in that way from my own personal knowledge ; it was from hearsay and report .
| William Bourne—I am an assistant to Mr . Roehfort , of Silver- > t : eet , Golden-jquare . I produce a miniature which 'Was pledged en the 26 ; h of July by the prisoner in the name uf " ilra . Lansdale , " of 18 , Crownstreet John Haynes—I am one of tbe Inspectors of the police of the A division . I searched for tbe prisoner on the 22 : . h of September . I went to 46 , Gerrardstreet , Rtit-ro 1 four . il twelve pawnbroker ' s duplicates ; one-was for two aaufif boxes pledged on the 30 th July at Mr . Vau ? han " s ; the others all relate to the property mentioned by Mr . Jones , aoil pledged at the same shop in tbe name of Chester . Thfy were in tbe lid of it workbex or writing dtkk . I found them on the 30 th of September , although I wee t there on the 29 ' . h . Cross-examined—I had been informtd by Mr . Lewis of tbe robbtry , and from making inquiries I traced hex to the above sddress . Be-examioed—I was nt > t permanently encaged in lookiEg aftsr the prisoner , until the 29 h , but I had been informed of tho robbery three weeks before . Lord Frankfort was recr . ikd , and identified the articles produced as his property . Miss Mitchell came two or three times to see me while the prisoner w&s with me . I was in the army ; I left in 1827 . I wts in the 10 th Hussars . This ended the case for the prosecution , when
\ | ! ! ! | Sir . A ( U . lphus rose to adiiress the Jury on behalf of tbe prison sr . He said , I am here to defend a younf ; creature who is oppressed by a Noble Lord who bad lived with her for two months , and now prosecutes htr if he c ; in , even to banisbment . for the purpose of recovering articles which baa been given ber by bis Lordship , for tbe purpose of inducing her to live with him in a state of prostitution . His Loriship has fead children by nia wife and by other peraouB . He ( Mr . I Adciphus ) had been asked if he intended to call witnesses to the character of his client , wbo bad been living 1 wi ; h such a niau as his Lordship . What character ' , could * he haV 6 ? Wby , the very act of living with his Lordship aiuat have contaminated her . He would aak j whether the jury thought it probable that his client 1 woulu submit to be locked up for two months in solitude j withuut a bribe of some kind ? And was it not very ! piobable that the property was given her as described ! hy herself ? It bad been proved by the pawnbrokers ! that a great many articles were pledged in the ' month of June ; and ytt they had not been missed by his Lojdfrhip until after the prisoner bad left him , I although he bad gone to the drawer nearly every day I You hate heard from his Lordship , that bills bad I been circulated by Mr . WooJer , ( his Lordship ' s eolicitor ) respecting the missing property . Dots his Lordship produce Air . Wcoller ot tbe bills ? ' Sol It such ! bills bsd been printed and circulated , Mr . Vaui > ban mest have received one of thtm , and jet Mr . Junta told the jury that he had never seen or beard of » uch bills . Again , if Mr . Taugban had received one , he wonJd have stuck it in his shop , and tbe property would not have been taken in . He ( Mr . Adolphus ) must say , that bad Jonathan WUde been alive , they could not have met with more prevarication than they had beard to-day . It was most improbable that his Lordship vrould have allowed the prisoner to go at large for two whole months if be b : vd determined in the first instance to recover his property . No , he w ^ uld aot ; he could have had hex apprehended immediately , but he allowea ber to be at large , and then for tbe purpese of getting back the property , when he found the prisoner would not live with him any longer , be charges her with felony . He ( Mr . Adolphusihoped that the gentlemen of the jury would give the case their impanial consideration .
Justice Er ^ kine said thi t tie counsel for tbe prosecution ought to fix upon some particular article , or thoss stolen on some particular dcy . The Counsel said that they would fix the offence as committed on the 22 nd of July . His Lordship then summel up , and read over the evidence wbith had been adduced , rtmniking to the jury aa he proceeded , on ¦ what be conceived to be important evidence . He said his Lordship had positively sworn that he did not give tbe property to the prisoner . The Learsed Connsel frr the dtfec . e had contended that his Lordship miiht have given them to her in a £ t of i . ' . tcxication . Many tf the ar . iclts were such aa ¦ would form no part of a Lady ' s drca ? , and which were improbable would be given to a Lady . His Lordship concluded his summing up at balf-past one o ' clock .
While the Jury were deliberating on their verdict , the prisoner appeared to be suffering from the most intense mental anguish , and wept bitterly . The excitement in the Court also was extreme . After deliberating a short time , the Jury returned a verdict of —Not Guiity . The verdict was received with loud applause , which was instcr ; t ! y checked by the officers of the Court Tbe prisoner , who was held up to tbe bar to hear the verdict , dropptd , faictir . g back into a chair , the instmt it was announced , and remained some time in s state of insensibility . On the verdiut bein ^ announced to the crowd assembled cnttide the Sessions house they gave thre > e most vociferous cheers , which were distinctly heard in Court
Mr . Bodkin said there vrc-re several indictments arainst the pris-ner , but as they wtre al ! supported by the same evidence as the one on which the prisone .-hai bi-en jnst acquitted , he should not offer aiy evidence on them . The prisoner , who was supported to the bar , -was then giTcn i : i charge to the Jury on the other ii . dictmenta , nlid no evidence beins tendered in support of them , Bhc was iijBtExt'y acquitted . Sie was then assisted out of the dock . This case appears to hr . ve created tbe most intense excitement in tbe public mind . The galkry was even more crowded tLan it was on tbe occasion of Good's trial , acd there v . ere a great number of well-dressed females present .

: he poacher he had prostr . xted , he pursued John Biker , w ' jo had rcrialcBis ' . de c . fthtj wood for a short distance , pjed had durins the pi ' . Miit got over the herfge into the wood , John Bebbiugton being close to him . ncd . in fact , was with him aa he got over the hedge . Baker ' s ^ un being under him . They bad a ttroggle , wh « n Richard Clusters , another of the keepers ( and wbo afterwards died ot the injuries he received ) , came up , and the two secured Baker . John Bebblngton said to his prisoner , " I know thee . " He called him Duke Baker , and he answered " Well , thou knows me , let me go . " In about five minutes , whilst still in the wood , the keepers heard some men who were coming np the side of the wood , calling oat " Now , iny lads , how are you coming on ? " and John
Bebbington , who supposed they were the remajpder of the keepers , said " We are here , " They then came up , there being three of them , and stood on the hedgetop , when Btbbington saw that they were the companions of his prisoner Baker . He aaid to Cheaters , " Sboot the first man that comes over . " Cheaters then took up hia ( Bebbington ' a ) gnn , lying by his Bide , but held it in bis hand , and did not present it Tbe men then csine over the hedge , when Bebbington let Biker go . One of tho poachers , the mati in the slop , struck Bebbington on the head and stunned him , and he received several other blows which induced him to call upon Cheaters to shoot The men then left Bebbincton and attacked Cheaters . What took place then B&bbiogton is nn . ible to say , as he was Btunned by the blows he had received ; and when he came to himself he was in the brook close by . Bostock , after the
conflict he had been engaged in was ended , end he had recovered from tbe Mows he had received , went towards the place where Bebbington had had the struggle with Baker , but did not find him , as he had gone away ; but he saw the body of Cheaters lying there . He saw four men just out of the wool , and one tf them looking through the hedge , but he could not recoxnico any ot them . He went across the wood towards Wettenhall , and in the field next to the wood he met Bebbington , who was at that time bleedin j very much from a bad cut across his head . They went to the public-house at Wettenball for assistance , and having obtained it , they went for Chestera , whom they found lying on the ground , where Bebbington had last seen him , before be was attacked by the poachers ; and they carried him to the Boot an-i Slipper public house .
While the above conflicts were going on , John Noden had a struggle lrith the poacher armed with tbe bludgeon ; and managed to fight him for a considerable period with his stick , and ultimately wrencbed tbe bludgeon from him They then got into the hedge and had a severe struggle , when the poacher pot upporlaost , and jumped with his feet upon Noden'a beliy , a :. d then set off into the wood . No < Jen was so much injured as not to be able to get np for some time ; aud when he did get up the men had all gono away . When Richard CheBtera was taken to the Boot and Siipp ^ r public-house , he wtis in a state of insensibility ; and tha attendance of Mr . Job Harrison , of Tarporley ,
surgeon , was obtained ns soon as possible . He got there about twelve o ' clock . Tbe moment he bod examined the wounds , which were chiefly about the bead , there being a severe fracture of the skull over tbe right eye , ho considered the case as hopeless . He , however , immediately bkil him , and used such other remedial means as the cats required . He continued with him until five o'clock ; his head was much swollen , caused by tbe contusions and effusion of blood under tbe scalp ; there being alBO considerable beuiorrbage from tbe right ear . He saw him attain at half-paBt nine o ' clock , when he was much worse . He died about half-past twelve o'clock on that day .
Information of this event was given to Mr . F . M . Baker , tbe active special bich constable of tbe hundred of Ediabury , and in consequence of information be received from the keepers , be apprehended Charles Hitcbeu , at Over , who stated , that be bad gone to bed at nine o ' c ock on the previous evening ; he searched his house , and found bis coat , the lower part being wet and muddy . Hitchen said , the coat belonged to Duke Baker , alias Joe Baker . He told him , that he had proof that he had been poaching , when he said he must have- been mistaken for William Warbnrton , as they were much like . Mr . Baker on Sunday night apprehended William Warburton , at his house at Winsford , and found in hia bouse a quantity of powder in a born , and also some shot He afterwards apprehended a man named Samuel Cousins . He had not succeeded in apprehending Joe Biker , who has absconded . Another man , named Kichard Evana , waa subsequently apprehended .
On Wednesday an inqceBt was held at the Boot and Slipper public-bouse , Wettenhall , before Mr . Henry Churton , coroner , ou the body of Cbesters . Mr . Churton bad the assistance , in pursuing tbe inquiry , of Mr . Tollemncbe , Mr . Corbett , and Mr . France , magistrates of the county . Mr . Dunvile , solicitor of Tarporley , attended on the part of the prosecution . The evidence was chit fly corroborative of the statement we b ^ ve just narrated . The prisoners Cbarlea Hitchen , William Warburton , Richard Evans , and Samuel Cousins , were present , and in cuatody . Bostock recognised Cbarle 8 Hitcben as the man who knocked him down Nud&n identified William Warburton as
the man with the bludgeon , with whom he waa engaged in combat John Bel > bington and Daniel Bebbington made a statement that Daniel Cousins was the man with whom tiie former waa first engaged , and who -afterwards overpowered the latter . Joseph Baker ( not in cuatody ) waa sworu to by John Bebbington and John Noden . And Joseph Bostock recognised Richard Evans aa sne of the iutn he was engaged with ; he 8 di < l he pulled Evans through ihe hedge into thw wood , aud he ba <\ hia fice scratched . Mr . Baker produced a gun , which had been left on the scene of conflict by Duke B iker , and an oak bludgeon , a broken stock of a gun , and three caps , which bad also been found on the following morning .
M r . Job Harrison statc-d that he had made a post mortem examination of ChesteM ; there was a large effueirn of felood between the scalp aud the bone of the skull ; thers were thrto fractures ; the temporal bone very had , and nlse tbe frontal and parietal bones . The injuries appi aTed to have been iijflicted by a blunt instrument , and were quiie sufficient to cause death . An important piece of evidence was giveu by a nan named Paui Oilcbrist , who stated that on Saturday night last , about half-past seven o ' clock , he met four men on Hej ' s-green , about three miles from Whittenhall-wood . He recogrTawl Joseph Baker , Samuel Cousins , William Warburton , and Richard Evaua . The place wbtre be met them is & foot-road leading from Wimford to Darchall , Wettenhall , and other places . Three of the inen wore caps , and the fourth had on a Jim-Crow bat . The witness said the caps the prisoners had were similar to those produced at the inquest
At tbe conclusion of the evidence , the prisoners were cautioned that any statement they might make would be us < .-d asjainst them , when Char'fs Hitchen said , that on Saturday evening laet he took tea with bis father at Over , about four o ' clock , and then went to William B'ngB , in O . ikhouse-lane . In twenty minutes he went to his fathers again , and to . > k home a . 5 n < asure of potatoes . He bad the coat on at tbe time produced by Mr . Baker . Ho stayed in the house until fl ? e o'clock , and went out for a short time . He vent to his brothers at ten minutes to eight ; he and bia bro-. hei then went to his own house , aud the Utter stayed with him until past nine o ' clock . He never went out of the house after . The coat produced was Joe Baker ' s . He was innocent of the job . S-imuel Cons'ns said , that he had been at home all the evening , and that he was not with Joseph Biker that nipht at a 1 .
William Warburton said , he was at home all day , and remained in until three o ' clock on Saturday , when he wert down to Winsford . and remained at tbe Market Hall till five o ' clock , He came home to feis baggin ami then sl « pfc oa the squab until eight He did not go out acain , but went to bed , after he had greased the children's aboes . Richard Evans said , he was innocent , and never went ent of hi 3 house , except to the top of the bill , to smoke a pipe . After a most patient investigation and a lucid summiDg up by the C 9 roner , the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murd < -r against Cnarles Hitchin , William Watburton .

believe , as a t achev . Here he was supposed , by exposure or nrgltctof bis health , to have undermined his constitution . He Lever fully recovered the robust stateof health which he bad previously enjoyed . Ia 1603 , Mr . Cbantiing was ordained over the congregation in Federal-street , Boston . The lines between the Orthodox and Unitarian denominations were not , at that day , so distinctly drawn as they are at tbe present time . In fact , the term Unitarian was not in general use . Mr . ChanniDg waa considered a serious minded young preacher , of irreproachable morals , with & cultivated mind , refined taste , unique eloquence , and leaning to evangelical views in theology . The Rev .
Dr . Mason , of this city , and other staunch divines of orthodox sentiments , in different parts ot the country , used to preach in Mr . Channtag ' a pulpit . Circumstances occasioned a more marked division of theological men , not many years afttr , and Mr . Chanuiog ' s preaching and theological writings assumed a more decided character . His celebrated sermon nt Baltimore at the ordination of tha Rev . Jared Sparks ( the historian ) made this division more complete . Mr . Cnaaning ' e congregation increased—his people erected a more spacious edifice on the site of the old church—and a colleague , the Rav . Mr . Gannett , was associated with him in the charge of the congregation .
Dr . Cbanuing ' s published sermons daring the war of 1812 brought him into general notice throughout the coautry . Subsequently bia review of the writings of Milton , tbe character of Napoleon Bonaparte , and other able performances , established bis reputation among the eminent scholars ami belles lettres writers of tlie country and the world . Tbe taunt of tbe Edinburgh Review , at an early period , tbat Dr . Cbanning " touched lofty keys but with no very great force , " was n « t echoed by the numerous readers and admirers of bis writings . Dr . Cbanning ' s publications on the subject of American Blavery have attracted no little attention throughout
this country and Europe . He belonged to no antislavery Bociety—be even doubted the wisdom of these associations—but he waa an uncompromising enemy to slavery , and thought , spoke , and wrote accordingly . One of the latest , if not tbe lost public performance of Dr . Charming , was on the lstef August , the anniversary of emancipation in the British West Indies , when he delivered a discourse in Berkshire couuty , Massachusetts . A report of it was published , and attracted the admiration even of those who do not espouse the cause in behalf of which Dr . Channing directed so much labour and sympathy .
Dr . Chanuing was a man of great independence of mind . He was never swayed by popular applause to do an act which his principles condemned . He paid no respect 1 to men on account of their wealth or office . He honoured moral worth wherever be found it . His ( Harmons on the paternal character of God , on the loveliness of the example of Jeaua Chriit , ou the evidences of Christianity , and on political and moral integrity , are admirable . He spoke out , in intelligible terms , on conjugal iufidelity and licentiousness . In the pulpit his gravity and solemnity exceeded that of most preachers , and many who boast of more correct
theological principles might have taken useful lessoDS from him , not only in the pulpit , but in all his social circles . In all circumstances , bis feelings were under great Belf-cominand . Oa ono occasion , at a dinner party , where a distinguished orttiodox clergyman overstepped the boundaries of propriety , Dr . Channing remarked to the person near him , " A strange man that " On another occasion , when the audience were greatly affected by the eloquence of a distinguished preacher , a professional brother , whose feelings vrere easily excited , expressed astonishment that Dr . Channing appeared to be so little moved . "My tears , " said Dr . Channing , " are not so near my eyes as yours are . ''
Dr . Cbanning bad great contempt for ephemeral popularity , for i > fnce hunting , for the airs often assumed by upstart aristocrats , for the tricks and compliances of politicians . What was worthy of esteem and veneration in men , whether they were rich or poor , white or coloured , be reverenced , and could look down upon arrogance , folly , and tbe unprincipled , with pity aud virtuous indignation . Hia elocution , aa has been intimated was peculiar—his eloquence unlike tbat of any other man . His preaching and bis writings were corroborated by a life of huh moral character .
Dr . Channing was the poor man ' s friend and advocate-He prized the principles of our government , hut was chiifly anxious that thu people should be righteous , rather than prosperous . He loved the cause of peace and by his tongue and pen did all be could to avert the calamities of war . Iu fine , however much men might dislike his theological opinions , no one wbo knew him ceukl fail to prize his purity of character , his inflexible integrity , bis lofty purposes , his literary taste , his eloquence , and his able discussions . His death ia a great lose , not only to his family , but to the city where be resided , to tbe country which guve him birth , to the cause of letters and freedom throughout the world .

PUTNEY COMMON , SURREY . A crowded meeting waa held at the Miller ' s Arms on Sunday evening , to consider the propriety of joining the " National Charter Association . " Messrs . J , Millwood , SUUwood , and Dobson , attended as a deputation from Hammersmith . The room was graced by the presence of a number of reBpeotable females . At half-pasc six o ' clock Mr . Churchill was unanimously called to tbe chair , who in a few britf and appropriate words called on Sir . William Wytkins Wynne , whose zealous labours in the vineyard of Chartism had led to the present meeting .
Mr . Wynne said , Nature had bestowed on man her choicest gifts , but unjust class-made laws bad deprived us of their benefits ; be rfjoiced exceedingly to see such a numerous meeting ; he had been engaged sowing the good seed , and this evening , he trusted , it would bring forth fruit He would not take up their time at present , as there were some talented friends from Hammersmith present ; he would simply state that Mr . Staliwood would address them . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Staliwood did not expect to be called on thus early in the evening . Although not quite a . stranger , yet it is now some time since he before had the honour of
addressing the men aud women of Putney . He , like Mr . Wynne , waa mrst happy to see such a number of tho toil-worn sons and daughters of labour quietly assembled on the rude Heath of Putney , calmly listening to the various speakers , that they might afterwards jndge for themselves ;—waa nut this in itself a refutation of the base calumnies that had heen from time to time uttered ngaitist them ? Hoping as he did before he left , to Bee a considerable number of members enrolled in the N . tlioii&i Charter Association , he should feel it his duty to refute the objections urged against Chartism , and more especially the libellous assertions of a certain Judge in his charges to tha Special Commissions . Mr . Stallwood then ubly went over the objections—answering them to tho satisfaction of all present : —he then
explained tho principles ani objects of Chartism , showing them to have been : advocated by the peaaant and tbe peer , by men of genius and talent , in both ancient and modern times , and asked , was Chartism of tbat dangerous nature Borne would fain represent it ! Was it likely that tha constituted authorities of various places would allow tbe use of chapels , town and county balls , for its advocacy ? In all such places had be addressed tbe people , even from the judgment seat , in favour of our great and giorious principles . Was it possible , if Chartists were the violent destroyers their oppressors represented them , that they would be chosen constables , commissioners , and councillors ? Was it possible tnty could be such inhuman brutes , aud yet be chosen , as they were in some instances , as guardians of the poor ? There was the principles of truth and justice in
Chartism'twaa that , that ,, enabled its advocates to pass through the fire of persecution and prosecution , and come out purer than ever —( cheers . ) Witness tbe prosecutions of former days , and ( hose of the present time ; yet were their champions—although on bail to meet charges of crimes by them never committed—( hear , hear)—still at their poats , cheering on their fellow men to perseverance and victory . Mr . Staliwood resumed his seat amid loud applause . Mr . Holloway then moved the following resolution : — " That this juctting feel most acutely the miseries Inflicted by class legislation , and believe tbe only means of removing them is by universal representation , as embraced in the principles contained in tbe ' People ' s Chatter . ' We therefore resolve to form ourselves into a locality of the National Charter Association , to

obtain th « same by all legally available meanB in our power . " ¦ Which was seconded by Mr . W . W . Wynne , supported by Mr . H Dobaon . Mr . W . W . Wynne said , before the resolution waa put he would like to say a few words , having been tha chief instrument in the resuscitation of Coartisni in tbat district When I witness the misery and wretchedness that surround me—when I see those that produce all , enjoy Done—I am naturally led to inquire—Who hat it ?—and I find it in the possession of the men who are now trying to delude you with the cry ef a big loaf—( hear , hear )—who have just been found in jury boxes , to find your order guilty of crimes committed by themselves . Mr . W . then most forcibly replied to tho Bopbisma of Lord Abinger—and , eaid Mr . W ., you may continue to . produce all—and when yon can no longer
toll , be sent to a union baatile—or , if in numbers you sk for bread , be sent to a model prison in Copenhagenfields , to br deprived of your reason . You have no chance of bettering your condition , nor ever would , until you have obtained the Charter . It was said frtquent elections would cause confusion—it was th » present system that caused confusion : might n » t parsons , Lords , and Dukes be seen dragging the independent electors np to the poll in a worse than beastly state of . intoxication ? He implored them cot to be led away from their grand object by any party however plausible . What confidence could they have in tbe other classes after the severe sentence passed en , as he believed , tbat innocent man , good father , good husband , good neighbour , good citizen , poor ElJip ( Sensation . ) He hoped they woul' * adhere to their principles , until the Charter became tbe law of the land . Mr . W . sat down loudly applauded .
Mr . Millwood also supported tbe resolution , and related some humourous anecdotes , that moved the risible facnlties of the meeting . The resolution waa then put frem the chair , and carried unanimously . Mr . Churchill was then elected Sub-Secretary , and Mr . Price , the worthy host , Sab-Treasurer , pr ierti . Seventeen persons took out their cards as members of the National Charter Association . A vote of thanks was then given to the deputation from Hammersmith , to . which Mr . Staliwood responded , A vote of thanks was also passed to the Chairman ; when this " set of people called Chartists" quietly dispersed , to meet again on Sunday evening next , having first plentifully supplied themselves with Chartist tracts , circulars , Northern and Evening Slavs , to read in the interim .

Association , —a society established , not in a hole and corner , but at a public meeting of our fellow-cit ; zina , fairly called ; and we do hope that our consistent brother Chattiste , and those wno differ from them , will each and all give fair play , and no favour" to any speaker who may feel disposed to take a part in the proceedings , and , like true democrats , submit to the decision of the rn . ijority .

MELANCHOLY EVENT . —THREE LIVES LOST . Sunday morning a most melancholy accident occurred in the river Ouse at Turn Head , near Stlby , by which tbreo livee were loat—a mother iu the bloom of life , end ber kwo children—and three others were most providentially preserved . We have received the following particulars of this sad accident . Mr . David Broadhead , captain of the vessel called the Hopewell , belonging to Mrs Jolly , of this city , bad been to the Silkstone Pits and loaded the vessel with coal . There were on board Captain Broatibead , his brother , his wife , aged 22 , and hia three children , viz ., William , four years of age , George , throe years old , and Henry , nearly three months . On ' Sunday morning , at one o ' clock , the vessel reached Turn Hend in returning to
York , where it was made f ; ist , and in a few minutes afterwards the captain and his family retired to rest in the cabin , and hia brother in the forecastle . Previously to this the pumps had been tried , and as no water could be obtained tbe vessel was judged to be all right and safe . In a few hours afterwards , however , tbe captain was suddenly awoke , and jumping up saw the water running into the hatchway , tbe vessel , it teems , having sprung a leak , and was in a sinking state . His first impression was to warn his wife , of the impending danger , but be was so paraljZdd tbat he was unable to utter a single word . He seized hold of her , and she got out of bed , all which was tlw work of a moment . Two of the eldest children , vil ., V ^ illiam and George , were lying on the floor , and taking them both by tho arms ho attempted to make his escape , but the latter child unfortunately fell back into the cabin .
The water waa now rushing in with such impetuosity that the captain found it impossible to get out , and most probably bad not his brother , who had been awoke and hud got out of thu forecastie , come to bis assistance he would have been drowned . As it was he was obliged tr .- wait till the cabin filled before he could get out . He then made an attempt te save his wife , but found it was itnr / ossibie to do go , and , after uttering an exclamation , " Oh , David . ' " she sunk in tbe cabin to rise no more alive , nil these distressing circumstances occurring in leas time than has been taken up in the narration of tinm . The captain , hia brother , and the child , then got iiito tbe boat , the two former having nothing on bat tbeir shirts , and the latter bis night clothes ; they were all ia a pitiable condition , being diippingwet from head to foot , and suffering extremely from the cold . Captain Broadhead and the child wure then put ashore , and tho brother remained to aeo if either of the bodies
floated nut of tbe cabin . The captain then proceeded to n farmhouse about half a siile of . When he arrived there , be waa so benumbed with the wet and cold that he Ct > uld scarcely wiilk , and under such circumstances one would have thought that any one possessing the common feelings of humanity would have extendtd to him that sympathy and ready assistance wnioh his case seemed to demand . Par different , however ; according to our informant ' s statement was the case . On arriving at toe house , Mr . Broadhead knocked at the door , and sticutfd as loud as he could to make bimeclf heard . In a few minutes the occupier asked him what he wauted , whtn the captuln britfly narrated to him the
melancholy itccident that bad taken place , and atked him for shelter . About twenty minutes elapsed before the door was opened , and on getting into tho bouse he frund that it waa then baSf-past five o ' clock . He asked for the loan of some old clothes to cover their nakedness , but lie whs told they bad none . At length the man-servant fetched him part of an old shirt , which he put on , anc } !> ftwr pressing hard , obtained some other articles of ck'thing . It was at least an hour before tbe brother could get anything to put on . After he had put the child into the bed which the man-aervant had Itfr , Mr . Broadhead went baak to the vessel , and succeeded in taking out of the cabin bis wifo and one of the children ; the other had not been found up to Tuesday
evening . On Sunday afternoon , an inquest was held at , the Boot public-bouse , Barlby , on view of tbe bodies , by Mr . M . Poiireoii , tbe coroner of Selby , and . after hearing tee evidence , the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental deatti" in each case . The feodieB were removed io Yorlt on Sunday evening , and were interred on Tuesday afternoon in the church-yard of Saint Mary , Castlegate . We may remark , in conclusion , aa a singular fact , that three persons in tbe family of the deceased woman were born , died , and were buried on the same days . — York Herald .

FATAL COMBAT BETWEEN GAMEKEEPERS AND POACHERS . ( From the Chester Chronicle of Friday tceck . J We regret to iuve to reccrri a most sanguinary combat which took plaoe on Saturday tveaing last , between the keepers of Mr . John Toilemach-.-, M . P , of f iis-ton Loose , and Mr . Edwin Corbett , . of D-irnhail , ant ! a psrty of pcaehers , anil which resulted iu the defeat of tfce fornitr , one of whom , named Kichard Cheaters , died ia a few hours afterward , fruin t '< . « ir . jiries he received in the conflict . The following cro the facts as near as we have been able to collect ihtm : —
It appeared , tbat from some information that ba « been obtained by Robert Bostock , keeper to Mr . Corbttt , he had reason to apprthend that a pohching p . irty would be out on tbe night in question . Es called that morning upon Diniel Bebbington , who was engaged by Mr . Toilemaehe to look aft-r the game at Wcttenball , and told him that he expceUil there would be some poachers in Wettenliall Wood that night ; and they arranged to meet at the Wettenball side cf the wood , at-eleven o'clock . About nine o'e ' . ocb on tbat eveni ; g , Bo 3 tock called upon Johu Noden , wagoner to Mr . Corbett , and John Bebbington , under keeper to tfce same gentleman . They went to Wettenhr . il Wood to watch , and found Daniel Bebbington and Thomas Bebbington , his grandson , a young boy , who had heard the
report of fire-arms a few minutes previtm , a . d wer < - afraiting the arrival of the remainder of thekeepc-rs and their party . It was a moonlight night Tbty went some distance by the side of that part of ths wood called Bogey's Pipe , and crossed a field of John Bogey ' s , whiei adjoined the Pipe , where they saw fcur or five men , who , aa soon as they s ; iw them ( the keepers ) , called on them to stand off . Three of th& men had guns , one of them woa identified by Bostock as Joseph Baker , and one of them had a felnigeon . Those who had guns pointed them towards the keepers . As the keepers advanced , the poachers retreated slowly backwards , and Baker cried out " D ¦ their eyeaj don't let us go back , let us stand I" Daniel Bebbington said , " My lads , we are Eve as well as ye , "
counting his grandson as one . When they came to close quarters , John Bebbington seized hold of one of the men , and sei » d bis gun by the muaie , and threw him down . In tbe struggle the gun went off , as the poacher had hold of the lock . This man was dressed in dark clothing . Daniel Bsbeington came up daring tbe straggle , and threw himself upon the man , and John Bebbin ^ ton left him in order to pursue the other poachers , and immediately another of the gang came up , dressed in a abort darkish coloured step , and etrnck Daniel Bebbiagton over the head and arms , and enabled tbe other man to escape .
