Friday at Satton-in-Ashfield , and oh Monday again at Sheffield . Sunday I spend with my own people at Boll . And the remainder of the time from then till I start for Scotland will be entirely occupied with arranging matters with and for my little flock at Hull , to make i my absence productive of as little harm as may be . - I take steam boat from Hull to Leith , on Wednesday , the 2 nd of August . This , I suppose , -will land me in Leith some time on Friday the 4 th ; so that I shall have just time to recover the queerness of my stomach and get myself into working order for my
Edinburgh friends on Sunday . Sunday and Monday I give to Edinburgh and Leith . Then comes a difficulty . Aberdeen wants me on Sunday ; so does Dundee ; so does Arbroath . They cannot all have it . Arbroath folks axe very reasonable . They lie midway , and say that they will ha content with another day if they cannot have Sunday . Now I wish the friends would just settle it among themselves whether they will have me at Dundee on Wednesday ; Arbroath , Thursday ; Montrpse , Friday ; and Aberdeen , Saturday and Sunday ;—or at
AberdeeD , Wednesday ; Montrose , Thursday ; Arbroath , Friday : and Dundee , Saturday and Sunday ; bo that I may return te Edinburgh , and be able to get thence to Glasgow for Tuesday the 16 th , if that time suit my Glasgow friends .

THE LADIES' WORK TABLE BOOK ; containing clear and practical instructions in Plain and Fancy Needlework , Embroidering , Knitting , Netting , Crotchet and Tatting , with numerous Engravings illustrative of the various stitches in those UBtful and fashionable employments . Second Thousand . London : H . G . Clarke and Co ,, 66 , Old Bailey . ; As exceedingly neat well got up volume , which should be in the hands of every female : not less handy for the educated woman of superior circumstances than useful for the neglected child of poverty -and labour . The author has a happy knack of putting every thing , even the most simple , into pleasing language and an instructive form . The following extracts from the introduction will shew the reader something of both the plan and character of the work : — :
rf If it be true that * home scenes are rendered happy or miserable , in proportion to the good or evil influence exercised over them by woman—as sster , wife , or mother '—it will be admitted as ? a fact of the utmost importance , that every thing should be done to improve the taste , cultivate the understanding , and elevate the character of those 'high priestesses of our domestic sanctuaries . The page of history informs us , that the progress of any nation in morals , cmlizsiion , and refinement , is just in proportion to the elevated or degraded position in which woman is placed in society ; and the same insfcraoJ * Te volume will enable us to perceive , that the fanciful creations of the needle , have exerted a marked influence over the pursuits and destinies of tn « . TI . :
" To blend the useful with the ornamental , and to exhibit the gushings forth of mind , vitalised by the warm and glowing affections of the heart , is the peculiar honour and sacred destioy of woman . Without her inflaence , life would be arrayed in sables , and the proud lords of the creation would be infinitely more miserable and helpless than the beasts that perish . To render , then , those * terrestrial angels' all that our fondest wishes could desire , or our most vivid imaginations picture , must be , under any circumstances , a pleasing and delightful employment ; while , for a father or a brother to behold her returning all the caxe bestowed upon her by the thousand offices of love , to the performance of which she alone is equal , is doubtless one of the most exalted sources of human felicity . " Then follows a dissertation on the uses of the needle , concluding thus :
" The needle is also capable of becoming au important monitor to the female heart ; and we would impress ihis trath seriously upon their recollection , that as there is 1 Sermons in stones , And good in every thing , ' So the needle they so often use , is , or may be , a Eileut but Ealutary moral teacher . They all know that however good the eye of a needle may be , jif it were rusted and pointless , it would be of httle use . Let them also recollect , that though it may possess the finest point and polish in the world , if destitute of the eye , it would be of no use at all . The les&on we -wish them to derive from hence is this , that as it is the eye which holds the thread , and that it is by
the thread alone that the needle becomes useful , bo it is the eye of intelligence , directed to the attainment of useful ends , that gives all the real value to the point and polish , which is so mnch admired in the educated female ; and that wiibopt the intellectual powers of the mind he engaged in the pursaitB of goodness , all other endowments will be useless to their possessor . Let them leam also , not to despise sueh of their companions as , though intelligent and useful , are neither possessed of wit or elegance equal to their own . Circumstances may have rendered them , like the needle , rusty and pointless ; but the eye of intelligence is there , and they may still be useful .
" The want of a work containing clear instruct ! ons without unnecessary diffubeness , and by which the uninitiated may become their own instructors , has long been sensibly felt ; and this want , the following pages are intended io supply . Our aim is , not to make young ladies servile copyists , hut to lead them to the formation of habits of thoqght and reflection , -which may issue in higher attainments than the knitting of a shawl , ot the netting of a purse . " We are anxious to render elegant amusements conducive to the attainment of moral ends ; and to lay that foundation of intellectual superiority and
affectionate regard , for the comfort and happine&s ef others , which can alone give light and animation , sweetness and blooming freshness , to the interesting scenes of future Me . All engagements , which are calculated to elevate , soften , and harmonize the human character , have this tendency ; and it is in the assured conviction that the employments here treated of , are , when cultivated in due subordination to higher duties , well adapted to secure these objects , and to promote these domestic ends , that the Ladies ' Work Table Book has been prepared , and is now presented to the lovely daughters of England .

Joseph Linney , Sign of the Cheshire Cheese , Oldham Road . Upwards of seventy members sat down to as excellent dinner , provided by the worthy host . After the cloth was drawn , Mr . Ponsonby was called to the chair , and Mr . Maddin to the vice-chair . Mr . PimJott , secretary , read the accounts , which showed the prosperous state the society was in . Two medals were presented ; one to Mr . Newland , late treasurer , and the other to Mr . Bamford , past C . R . Both brothers returned thanks in very appropriate speeches . The evening was spent in ths greatest coaviviality nntD a late hour . It was one of unmingled tnjoyment , and will long be remembered by all who participated .
BOCHDAI ^ C—On Sa turday last , a small chapel , situated on Castletown Moor , about two miles from Rochdale , belonging to the OKI Methodists , was struck by lightning . All the windows were shattered to pieces ; and some of them blown entirely ^> nt . The fLoors and seats were torn up ; great part of the ceiling also fell in ; and altogether the place was a complete wreck . Fortunately , no honse was joined to it ; nor was any person within the chapel at the time the accident took place This was much to be wondered at ; for platforms were being erected , and olher preparations going forward , to provide accommodation for the oelebrau » n of the anniversary , which was to have taken place the very next day . A large stove stood in the centre of the building , with cast irvn pipes , which were carried right up through the centre of the roof . It is supposed that the pipe attracted the bghjsing .

ImEEDS . —Typographers' Aknivbrsary . —The Leeds Branch of the Northern Union Typographical Society celebrated their anniversary on Monday , at that favourite inn of plenty ^ -the John e'GABNT- ^ the pride of as jolly and good-natured a host and hostess ( Mr . and Mrs . Moreton ) as ever catered for the sons of toil in days of yore . This truly unique and elegantly furnished house is located on the Pontefract road , Borne [ four miles from this town . It commands an extensive view of the country adjacent , which is richly adorned with all that is useful and beautiful in Nature ' s power to bestow—emitting , as it were , from its luxuriant bed , in one direction , the timehonoured turret of Rotuwell cnurcb , and , in another , that of the spire of Oulton . church , which never fails to exoite , on account of its completeness of architectural design , stained glass windows . &c , the silent
admiration of all whohare the taste to visit it . It was in this really delightful suburban retreat that the members of as gigantic a machine ( the Press ) as was ever wielded in this or any other country , chose to regale themselves—and they were not disappointed ; for the viands were good , choicely selected , and abundant . After the cloth was removed the usual toasts were drank and responded to with a warmth of feeling that did credit alike to head and heart . In the oourse of the evening , which was very beautiful , the company , with one accord , lent themselves to a variety of pastimes , ths sight of which was calculated to "bring back the torpid breast of age to long-forgotten rapture . " Thus proceeded the diversions of this happy meeting till night begun to draw her murky mantle over the goodly scene , when it broke up , each member highly pleased with the ¦ M&U—rCorrespondent .
Father Matthew xkv the Teetotal Gadse . — The last week has been a glorious one for all who are friendly to the humanizing and elevation of the degraded and depraved victims of bad associations and bad institutions . Father Mathevt has been amongst us ; and has administered the pledge of temperance to thousands upon thousands in the West-Riding of Yorkshire ; who will hereafter have Io bless the day that brought him to our towns , and saw them forsake the maddening cup of vice and crime for the divine pleasures and inestimable advantages of intellectual pursuits . He has severally visited York , Leeds , Bradford , Huddersfield , Halifax , &c , &o . j and t everywhere have his steps been marked by high promise of great moral amelioration . May God speed him on his course !
w Advkntores of a Portmanteau . " —Unaer this head , a few weeks ago , we inserted an account of the stealing of a portmanteau belonging to a Mr . James Burn , from a railway carriage , on its arrival at the station j by a woman named Jane Appinall , who was committed to take her . trial for the offence She was arraigned at the Leeds borough sessions ' when , in cross-examining the prosecutor , Mr Wilklns , elicited that his real name was James William Born ; and as the indictment enly described him as Jame 3 Burn , if conld not be sustained , but fell to the ground ; another indictment io the man's proper name being ordered to be preferred . The Grand Jnry , not having beon discharged , this was done , and the prisoner was again arraigned , and under the advice of her counsel put in a
special plea of " antrefois acquit . " This led to an argument ; Mr . Wilkins and Mr . Pasbley contending that as the Jury had found the prisoner not guilty of stealing the property named in the indiotment , as belonging to James Burn , she could not be again tried again for stealing the Bame property belonging to James William Burn . The prosecutor again underwent a long aad severe examination , and at length it was put to the Jury by the Learned Deputy Recorder , Robert Hall , Esq ., whether the prosecutor was known as James Bars , or as James Wm . Burn . The Jury found that he was best known as James Burn , that being the name iu which he transacted all his business , and the woman was therefore acquitted . The prosecutor got his portmanteau and clothes , but is minus . his £ 84 , four silver watches , and seven silver watch guards .
NOTTINGHAM . —On Monday evening last , several thousand persons met in the Market place to hear the news foom America , relative to the part the Americans are taking in the agitation fora Repeal of the Irish Legislatiue Union . After the reading , Mr , J . Barberin an eloquent speech , proposed the following resolution : — " That this meeting views with extreme regret , mingled with indignation , the attempts of the Tory Government of this country to put down the rising spirit of liberty in Ireland , instead of ' conceding' to that injured and long { oppressed country her rights . " The Northern Star will be read in the Market-place on Monday evening next , at eight o ' clock .
SHEFFIEXJ > . —The iate Storm . —The effects of the late storm are still on all sides to be seen ; glass cannot be got in sufficient quantities to effect au immediate repair of the damage . The loss at the Botanical Gardens ] will be great , a hundred pounds , it is said , will not make good the destruction caused by the bnlletB of hail . The corn , peas , and potatoes have suffered severely , immense quantities having been destroyed . BRIGHOUSC—The Independent Order op the GotDEN Fleece , B . U . —A lodge of the above order was opened on Saturday , the 8 th of July , at the house of Mr . Holt , the Duke of York , in Raistrick , near Brigbouse , when a number of respectable individuals were admitted .
The Halifax Parricide . —The Parricide has not yet heen found . A verdict of ** Wilful Murder " has been returned against him . Most likely he may have added to his crime by destroying himself . BRADFORD . —The following resolution was adopted at a meeting of the Bradford Short Time Committee , held at the New Inn , on Friday evening , the 8 th instant : —* That whereas information has been communicated to this Committee that several worsted spinners and manufacturers in this town and neighbourhood are overworking children and young persons in their employ , and in various other ways encroaching upon ihe provisions of the Factories' Regulation Act , we do resolve to watch their proceedings , and obtain such information as will enable them to bring the offending parties to justice . "
Wooicombers' WAGES ^ One of the manufacturers of the name of Milnes , having promised to the woolcombers in his employ an advance of wages , for a fortnight ; and if the rest of the masters could be induced to advance , he would continue the promised increase of wages ; this news spread rapidly through the whole body of wooleombers , and the result was a very large meeting of the trade , held near the Temperance Hall , and three persons
appointed as a deputation to visit the masters , and by reason and argument induce them to advance the wages . A resolution was unanimously adopted to hold a public meeting on Monday evening at seven o ' clock on the same place , to be called by requisition . The chairman dissolved the meeting , urging them to use every means in their power to get up a large meeting of the trade , and use no threat or intimidation of any kind , to any employer , or any other person in any way connected with the employers .

YORK CASTLE-THURSDAY , ; July 13 . At twelve o ' olook today , Mr . Justioe Cresswell took his seat in the Crpwn Court , and Mr . Justice Wightman at Nisi Prius . The names of the magis > trates of the three ridings having been called over , the following gentlemen were empannelled on the
GRAND JURY . Richard Bethell , of Rise , Esquire , foreman . Honourable Arthur LaBcalles , of Harewood . Sir Thomas Diaby Legard , of Canton , Baronet . John Agar , off Hazlebush , Esquire . Edward Blackett Bcaumont . iof Finningley Park , Esquire . : , Francis Billam , of Newall Park , Esquire . Alexander Brown , of Beilby Grange , Esquire .

John Plumbe Tempest , of Tong Hail , Esquire . Leonard Thompsou , of Sheriff Hutton , Esquire . Charles Winni of Nostoll Priory , Esquire . Matthew Wilson , junior , of Eshton ; Hall , Esquire John Woodall ^ of Scarbrougb , Esquire .
Mr . Justice Cresswell then delivered the charge to the Grand Jury . He said , Gentlemen of the Grand Jury . 1 have to regret that , having now for the first time the honour of addressing a Grand Jury of this county , I cannoticongratulate you on the state of the calendar with which we have to deal , or the state of the county in general , with referenceito crime . The calendar into which which we are called upon to inquire , contains no less than 131 criminals : and by the returns published by order of her Majesty ' s Secretary of State for the Home Department , of the number of criminal offenders committed , it appears that during the last seven years , the commitments within the counties of York , Lancaster , Chester , Lincoln , and Surrey , have doubled ; thus exhibiting
within that short space of time , an increase of commitments that is undoubtedly very discouraging . I would fain hope that this is in part to be attributed to the ( establishment of a more vigilant system of police ; but still I cannot supposo that the whole is to be accounted for in that way , and we must come to the conclusion that there has been a great and rapid increase of crime during thai short period . There is one short observation in the report , with reference to the different classes into which the prisoners have been divided , as to the amount ; of instruction they have received , to which I wish to call your attention . The returns as to the decree of instruction possessed by persona committed as criminals during the past year , show a
continuance of the same results as in the preceding year , namely , a decrease in the number of totally uninstructed criminals , and an increase in the number of those vfho have received the smallest amount of instruction . At the same time there was a gradual decrease in the number of those who were able to read and ' write well , so that the returns may be considered as ! evidencing the general spread of instruction , and its favourable results with regard to those who bad tojany considerable extent received the benefits of education . I am addressing gentlemen of station and ) intelligence connected with the county , and who are nodoabt interested by inclination as well as by duty , to promote the instruction
and morality of the people ; and I shall , therefore , offer no further observations on this subject . But I beg to press on : your consideration the statistical account given in this parliamentary report , of the state of the country , with respect to crime , and to impress upon you the duty of exerting yourselves to produce a better return for the future . With respect to the calendar , it is not necessary for me to trouble you with many observations : tor , though it contains a long list of criminals , and though many of the offences imputed to the prisoners wear a serious aspect , yet they fare generally simple , in their character , and the law with respect to them is perfectly clear .
f His Lordship : then referred to some of the cases in the Calendar , jcommenting on their several points ; but as they were ; nothing out of the ordinary course , it is not wprthi while to occupy space with the remainder at his observations . At the close the Grand Jury retired to their room , and soon after appeared in Court with a batch of True Bills . ] The following < cases were then proceeded with;—Wm . Marsden \ 17 , pleaded guilty to having burglariously entered the dwelling-house of Jonathan Tutin , at Sheffield , on the 31 st of March last , and stolen therefrom thirty-one farthings , a pair of gloves , and a silk bag . —Sentence deferred . Matthew Fewsler , 30 , was convicted of having burglariously broken into the dwelling-house of John t Singleton , ' of Givendale , near Pooklington , and stolen therefrom various property . He was sentenced to four months' imprisonment , with hard labour .
CUTTING AND MAIMING AT PATELEY BRIDGE . John Sinkler , 32 , was charged with cutting and maiming Thomas Dausdale , with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm . Mr . Blanshak ' d and Mr . Pulleine were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr . Dearsley defended the prisoner . . ; The circumstances were these : —In , the month of September , 1831 , Mr . Samuel Winn , then a police officer at Rtpon , had a warrant entrusted to him for the apprehension of the prisoner ' s brother , Lliaha Sinkler . To assist him in the execution of that warrant , he ¦ took with him Thomas Sweeting , Tnomas Dundale , and Joseph Binns . The parry proceeded to the house of a person named Mure , who resided near Pately Bridge , and who was
father-in-law to Ehaha Sinkler ; here they found him and took him into custody . They were conveying him to Biipon , when the prisoner and a man named Longthorne came up and threatened them , if the prisoner was ; not iiberated , to " rip them up . " Dinsdale had then the prisoner in custody , and during a severoi struggle which ensued he was severely wounded with a knife at the back of his hand and in various parts of his body . Elisha Sinkler was then liberated , and got away ; but , being afterwards re-captured , he was tried at the assizes in 1831 , and received sentence of death , which was afterwards commuted to transportation
for life . Our readers will remember , that , having been found again at large in this ; country , he was again tried at the last spring assizes for this countyf or that offence , and was again sentenced to bei transported fox life . His brother , the present prisoner , baa been in the neighbourhood of Pateley Bridge : ever sinoe that period , but , on account of his desperate character , he has hitherto escaped punishment . He was taken at unawares shortly after the last assizes . All these facts were proved in the course of along trial , and after a lengthy address from Mr . Dearsley , on the prisoner ' s behalf , he was found Guilty by the Jury . —Sentence was deferred .
SELLING BASE CO IS . ¦ Thomas Holden , 36 , was charged with having on the 28 th of August , 1842 , and on the 10 th of September , 1842 , at Langfield , in the West Riding , feloniously sold and put off , to one John Robinson Scott , four pieces of counterfeit coin , resembling sovereigns , well-knowing them to be false and counterfeit .

NISI PRrUS COURT—Thubsdav , July IS . Before Mr . Justice Wightman , Mr . Justice Wightman took his seat on the Bench in this Court at twelve o'clock ,
Roe d . Lambbht , v . Rose . Mr . Hjgciws and Mr . Wemstsb , were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr . Knowles , Q , C , andMr . Cbompton for the defence . j This was an action of ejectment , brought to recover possession of a public house and premises , in the Market Place , at Thirsk , which was devised by the lessor of the plaintiff to the defendant , Mrs . Mary Rose , on the 6 th of April , 1839 , at a quarterly rent of £ 27 12 j ., with a proviso that should there be any arrear of rent for a period of twenty-one days after it became due , the landlord was to be at liberty to execute . The rent had become in arrear , and on the 6 th of October 1842 , notice to quit the premises on the 6 th of April , 1843 , was served upon the defendant . For the defence it was contended that the plaintiff , who was a { brewer and maltster , on the 14 th of December last , had withdrawn the notice to quit .
and had { promised the defendant that if she would let-him have her barley as she had been in the habit of doing , he did not wish her to leave , as he could not desire a better tenant , and he would repair the premises for her . Sixteen quarters and a half of barley were delivered to the plaintiff , at £ 1 8 s . per quarter , in the month of December , and £ 10 were stated to have been paid in money ; the whole of which was agreed to be taken for the arrear of rent then due . It was also shown that the defendant and her husband had | oooupied the premises for nearly twenty years . There were some discrepancies iii the evidence for the defence , and Mr . Hoggins , in reply , agreed that' the waiver not being in writing , but simply on parole , was net admissible in point of law ; bat this was ] overruled , if the Jury were of opinion that it had been waived at all .
The Learned Judge summed up the case very fully and impartially , and after a short consultation , the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff . Mr . Hoggins applied to the ] Court to grant immediate execution , i < x consequence of the very bad state of repair into which the premises had been suffered to run . There being [ another case between the parties , the Judge requested the application to Btand over for the present .

"REBECCA" IN WALES . Carmarthen , Julv 4 . —I find that the result I Mir . Maule ' s attendance here is that the Government will take the prosecutions on themselves ; and , as fat as I can learn , the Solicitor-General will attend o the part of the Crown at the forthcoming trials of those concerned in the riot here on the 19 th ultimo . The depositions have been placed in the hands of Mr . Maule and Mr . Raven , who attends with him , and those functionaries are now engaged in preparing tho necessary indictments . A woman of the . name of Frances Evans was last
night apprehended at Cilgwynucha , and examined to-day before a full bench of magistrates , charged with having participated in the riot at Carmarthen workhouse , and witn having incited and led { he mob on that occasion . Mr . Maale and Mr . Raven attended the examination , which was conducted in Welch , as the prisoner was unacquainted with English . Sarah Thomas , the schoolmistress © f the union workhouse , being sworn , deposed to having been at the workhouse on Monday , June 19 th , when 4 he not took place , and the mob broke into the Hall . It was at about one o ' clock in the day . The mob marched in , and began beating the tables , ' & « .. with staves , which they had in their hands .
Witness ran up into the sehool-room , where the children , who were much alarmed , were crying . Two men , one of whom she thought she nonld identify , followed her there . They said they had no wish to hart the children , but to let them out . Witness replied that the children had no homes , and would be fax better off there . The men said they had applied for redress , and that now they would have redress by force themselves ; and one of them said he would spill every drop of blood in hiB body before they would lose the day , for they did not fear the mili * tary . The men then went out into another part of the bouse . Shortly afterwards witness saw the prisoner Fanny Evans , whom she knew from her having been in tha workhouse a short time previouslv .
bhe was leading the mob up stairs . Witness asked her if she was not ashamed of herself , to which the prisoner replied , that she had seen enough of the workhouse , and was determined to go on with it . A female in the workhouse then forced the prisoner dowa stairs , and witness afterwards saw her dancing with violent gestures on the table in the hall . The door of witness ' s room was broken open , and she was put in fear of her life . She saw the violence of the mob increasing , and believed that if the military had not arrived when they did , the workhouse would have been pulled down or destroyed . Another witness having given similar testimony , the prisoner , who declined saying anything , was held to bail to appear and take her trial at the
assizes .-The attack upon and destruction of the gates not only is continued with inoreased daring , but is spreading into a wider locality . Not only have they levelled the principal gates in Carmarthenshire , but the work of destruction is going on in Cardiganshire and Pembrokeshire , and yet not a single individual has been apprehended . A night or two since they marched in very large numbers to the Scleddy gate , near Fishguard ( where the French landed in 1798 ) , and in a very short lime demolished the gates , posts , and houses , and broke the toll boards , &o ., info pieces so small that is the morning not a piece was discovered larger than would be fit for matchwood . After the work of destruction had been completed , ihe whole party left in the direction of the Haverfordwest-road . On the same night they attacked the Fishguard Hill-gate , which they also broke in pieces ; they then proceeded to the toll-bar at the other end of
Fishguard , where they attacked the toll-keeper ' s house , the windows of which they demolished . Things have now reached such a pass , that it is thought by respectable persons of the neighbourhood , that unless stopped , both private property and persons travelling on the roads will shortly be rendered very insecure . They appear now to have adopted plans to harass the soldiery . Last night , from information received , the troop of the 4 th Dragoons wero ordered to mount at eleven o ' clock , to march to some gate in the neighbourhood ; just , however , as the men were about , to start at a gallop , subsequent information was received which prevented their proceeding . The troop of Dragoons at St . Clear ' s were also out upon the roads all night , lights having been shown at various spots which induced them to believe that an attack was being made on gates in different situations . — Times , Friday .
