      TEB CHRISTIANITY (?) OF A PARSON MAGISTRATE . A poor laVmriagmaa , redding at Dorking , has sent ¦ a & t'jiig aeccnat of bis pri-rations , au ^ also of the per-¦ ecutica aid instill ha ha * received from a limnrtnd dispenser of jxslux . It appears the poor nan ( Alfred Pinch ) was summoned before their worships , the R « t . Jolm Boaeowen ( Prebendary of Canterbury , and Rector of the pariah of ¦ Wonting , and brother to . the Earl of Falmouth , ) and Edward Kerriek , Esq ., for the p&ymeat of ten shillings d » e for poor rat ** , irbea the folloiriBg conversation took pl *» . Kwrcb—WelL Whit ij the reason fch&t thij hai not bben paid »

      Fkch—I hare not been able . . 1 hare had great difficulty t « procure a Bubtietence for myself and family . I and mj £ a » ily hare , dETing" the lst « inclement weather , been compelled for days to subsist oa bread acd water . Boseowen—What is your occupation ? . Finch—A shoemaker , your Worship . Boecoiren—To what parish do yon belong ? Finch—To 2 f erretyite . Bose « wen—What rent do yon pay ? F ' mth—Tiro stuWngi and rixpesee per week . Bosc . we»—O , if yon come to T > or ) ring to lire , and pay a r- nt of two « hUlJn £ s and sixpence a ¦ week , you mnst expect to pay mte& There are none excused from paying rates wko do not belong to the parish . Fincb—I beg your worship ' s pardon , bat I can assure yo « that I know several whom tha authorities have excwe-1 who do not belong to the pariah , and whom I believe to be in better eirrarns ^ inees than I am .

      Kirrieh—Yes ; there is no distinction between persons V = longing to the parish , xa& tiioss - » bo do not . There are BOUje agricultural labourers and otters , -whom tbe rrerssers deem unable to pay , excused , but , as they hare not excused you , it appears they consider you at » i < j to pay , and we hare no power to excuse yoa . Finch—It seesas a Tery hard ease that I should be competed to contribute toward * the relief of the poor , when my circumstances are manifestly worse tha& some of those who are receiving relief . Bescowen—There are othen worw off than you who are < xm . polled to contribute , and if yon dont choose to pay we siall issue a warrant of distress . K ^ rrich—We had better allow him time to pay it Buscowen—What time can you pay it in ! Finch—I think it impossible to pay is lest than a month or six weeks .

      Boseowen—That will not do ; tke collector has to dear up fcia books at the expiration of a fortnight ; constqnen tly , we cannot-allow any longer tisie . Finch—I shall be finable to p » y witbtn so short a period : bat , if yon allow a month or e ; I will , if possible , endeavour to pay . BoAti-wen—If yon are unable to pay we shall issue a warrant of distress immediately ; ( then tbroTOJg the summerj to the clerk , bo continued ) : —Make out a warrant of distress to that Finch , after a few moment ' s consideration , thought of a frien i wh « might advance him the monty on lean , and told the Ret . that he would , if possible , borrow the money uz i pay immediately , and . was leafing the room for tha' . purpose , when Boseeoing bawled out : —You must pay two shillings for the expence of tbe summons too . Ficcb—I aumot pay for tfa « summons . Bose ^ wen—O , cant yon ? we will gee "whether you can or not

      Finch then left th * tootq and won retained with the ten shillings , -which be laid npon the table saying , " This is the money for the rate , but I cannot pay two shillings for the summons . " This exasperated his reverance and he , in his fury , ordered the money to be thrown after Finch , -which was accordingly done , and stiil further to gratify hi « malicious revenge , he ordered a "warrant of distress to be issued against Finch immediately . It appears that this divine who prays nine or ten tim . s a week , that we may be f orgiTan our debts as

      we foTfriTe our debtors , could not repose upon his bed until be had caused a poor distressed mechanic t # be robbed of his straw mattress and other bit * offumitore , for in I'as than an hour after the prteetdinsB we hare referred to , a constable and broker entered tbe heuse of Finch , although a mile and a quarter from tbe justice room , i and "Wereabout toieixsnpon his bits of " gocxJs and citaf . lss . " UBbl fee was induced throagh the solicitations and rears of his wife to t&ke five shillings he had laid by for his rent , to pay what he thought an illegal charge , atleast , bo far as regarded the gammons . ,

      HOUSE OF C 0 MM 0 N&—Tuesday , Maech U . The firat pnblie business on the list was a motion of lK > rd Mahos , who proposed i t to the House to resol-re that the present extensive system of commuting teansportatiaa for confinement in the balks is highly inexpedient The Crown , be said , bad doubtless the prerogative of substituting that conlnement for this bansporation , but it was a prerogative given , not in order to trarraat such substitution as » general measure , but to authorise it under p&rUeular circumstances , euch as old age or ill health . The present sysiwn rested npon a minute of Lord Joan Russell , in which that Itoble Lord bad strangely disregarded the evidence taken before tise Lords" -Committee oa tills subject . Tram tlut evidence it w » uld appear that the hulks were

      much lea dreaded than transportation . Nor . were tttey equally available with transportation for that other iaportant ' object—ihe reform of offenders . The hulks , too , had this disadvantage—that they did not admit tbe application of tbe madam improvements in prison discipline . Such waa the insf&caey &f the hulks in themselves , that it became necessary to exercise there a zigovr not required in other places of punishment Ib a matter of so much importance , economy was not a primary object , tat it deserved Borne consideration ; sad such consideration waa unfavourable to the hulks . Bat the great a » d paramouat objection to this punish ment at horn * of criminals sentenced to transportation ,

      -wu the impossibility of their pToctriBg employmant on their discharge , and the eoOK ^ ftaat danger Of their wkpstsg info crime froa mere necessity . Lord Mahoa want on to cite , Tery largely , tbe testimony of various persons , in sflrnuuiee of the utility of transportation ; asd thea discaaed the merits of the convict alignment system , in tbe abolitioB whereof , at effected by Lord John Rossell , ha declared his acquiesentca . He advocated title recommendations-c * Sir Richard Bonrke on th » subject of convict labour , and pleaded the importance of the aahjsct &s his justification for the great length of his speech , which lasted almost two Hnnna

      Lord Jobs Ecsssxi . admitted the force of some of tbe objections to the punishment of the hulks ; but the difficulty of finding other adequate penalties f orbade the adoption of such a resolution as Lord ilahon had pro-

      Untitled Article

      posed . If tbe hulks wen too aevere on the one hud , yet , on the other , transportation had not tbe terrors which punishment ought to carry with it in order to be effectual . Tbe question between himself and'tbe Btble mover was one rather of degree than of principle . Bat what he had chiefly aimed at was , to prevent tbe Australian colonies from being overran by the refnse of the English gaols . He did not think it necessary that the House should sow come to any decision upon the subject , and would , therefore , move the previous question . Lord Mahok declined to withdraw his motion ; and the House on a division affirmed it .

      Mr . SCHOL ¥ IKLD then brought forward m motion , recommeatths the substitution of » property tax for suek # of tb * taxes of excise sod customs aa press most heavily on the middle and working classes . He said that in 134 f t there were 1 , 500 bankrupts , and probably ten times as many insolvents . A : ort of civJ war waa going on between debtors and creditors , profitable only to the lawyers . The masters aad the men were constantly at variance . One effect of all this was the increase of crimes , particularly forgeries sad fraids . Tbe pressure of poverty had s demoralizing effect on the minds of men . ( Hn-paiaees flouri * hed , and self-murder wm become frequent . Tbe H « n . Member lastly read a few extracts from different writers to ihow the reasonableness of a tax on property .

      Mr . llUNTZ seconded the fcotion . He believed that in this country , more than is any other , the poor bore too large a proportion of the taxes . Taxatioa and representation ought to ge hand in hand . He doubted whether , in ihe present state of education , Universal Suffrage was desirable ; but certainly the suffrage should be extended . The trade » f our towns had now no remuneiiting profit , and no prospect of any . Seeing no chance of a repeal either of the Corn l * wa or the money laws , he must Btrongly support his colleague ' s motion . Mr . Turner lamented that the House , so fall when puty questions were to be discussed , was so thinly atteaded on a question of taxation .

      Mr . Williams enumerated the chief articles consumed by the poor , and showed how large a proportion of the taxes these articles bear . " There would soun , " he said , " be a pressure from without which would oblige the House to attend to these considerations . " Mr . Fielded concurred is the motion , and censured the non-attendance of "members . Mr . Bari . ng said that the reason of the absence of Member * was probably tbe conviction of ail men of business fr *™* such a resolution &s the present could

      not possibly be put upon the journals of tbe House . Aa announcement of a property tax , and that , too , an indefinite one on its amount , would throw the whole of this country into confusion . When a property tax existed there vis no language which was thought too strong for the condemnation of it , especially with reference to its inquisitorial character . He could not think that his Hon . Friend meant seriously to press his motion to a division , but if a division were pressed , he should move the previous question .

      Mr . Hume repeated the argument that the heaviest taxes are borne by the poor . The rich ssid that property was the fitting qualification for franchise , but they took care to exempt property from taxation . Again , personal property paid legacy duty to the amount of £ 2 , 000 , 000 and £ 3 , 000 , 0 . 00 vjeai , but landed property paid no legacy daty at alL For fifty « r sixty years there had not been so much misery as at present among the working classes . But the Government would never move unless there was a pressure npon it either from this House or from without

      Mr . GouLBUBK exposed the absurdity , in an artificial society like oars , of attempting to make a sudden change in its whole system of taxation , * nd , still more , of passing an abstract resolution on such a subject Much difference of opinion had existed heretofore , whether it were better to take tb ? taxes of a country in the first instance from capital , or to take them from the produce of that capital in an ulterior stage . The latter system had now been pretty generalJy adopted as the preferable one . Mr . Wakley commented upon the absence of the leading men of both parties . After a little pleasantry from Colonel SlBTHORP , Hr . Mark . Philips advised Mr . SchoJfirfa to withdraw his motion for the present , and renew it in a full House , when the Chancellor of the Exchequer should be coins into a Pouunittee of Ways and Means .

      General Johksoh thought that when Gentlemen Vrougbt forward motions , it became almost a duty that they should take the sense of the House upon them . Mr . Scholfield shortly replied , And the House dividing , rejected his motion .

      Wednesday , March 24 . Lord John Russell stated that he intended to propose some alterations in the Poor Law Amendment Bill , and also enumerated the amendments proposed by other Hon . Members , which it was his int jntion , either partially or wholly , to adopt Mr . E . Te > 'Nent moved toe-further consideration of the report on the Designs Gopyright Bill . Mr . LABQVCHKRK suggested to the Hon . Member to have hii BUI re-printed with the amendments , and to postpone its re committal until the House should have time to consider the numerous amendments which it was proposed to introduce .

      Mr . E . Tense > t was unwilling to accede to the suggestion ; and a discussion followed on the propriety of postponement , in the course of which it af > t > e » red that the copyright of designs in glass and some other articles formed no part of the original resolution o ? the Committee of the whole House , upon which rrsclotion the Bill was , according to the forms of the House , necessarily founoed . Those articles -were superseded to the Bill without having recourse to a new resolution of the whole House . A suggestion offered by Mt . Hvmb was , after some conversation betweeD Sir B . I > XZL , Mr . Labovchb&B , and Mr . Tje »* E > 'T , eventually adopted—namely , that tbe present Bill should be withdrawn altogether—that the House should resolve into Committee of the whole Hease on Thursday , to agree to a resolution irclnding glass , &c , and that the new Bill should be allowed to proceed unopposed to the stage at which tbe Bill withdrawn had arrived . The BUI was accordingly withdrawn , and Mr . Tennent gave the requisite notice for Thursday .

      FBOM OUS LONDON CORRESPONDENT . London , Thursday Evening , March 25 , Quarter to Seven . Citt News , x > d Comkercial Revisw . —The arrival , this morning , of the new President ' s inaugural address to the Chambers , has greatly relieved ; he public anxiety , as the hostile tone of the American statesmen had been succeeded by a more friecdly bearing towards this country . It is now generally believed that Mr . M'Leod will be giren up by the State of New York , and ihus the danger of an immediate rupture will be avoided . The Dens is looked npon a 3 very favourable in the City ; and Consols have risen nearly j per cenl on it ; but the market is very senritiee , being- influenced by some large accounts in options , which hai , d over tbe

      jabbers , and compel them to buy or sell rashly on every change of circumstance , to defend themselves from the risk of any large fluctuation in prices Yesterday they sold stock npon thiB gronnd , and to-day they are all anxion 3 to buy it back again ; but money is quite " easy" to-day , and gold arrives largely from the Continent . In the commercial markets there hi 3 been very little business done ; tbe public sales yesterday having gone off heavily , and those of to-day having manifested but a very slight improvement : on each occasion , a part only of the goods put up vrere disposed of ; the deliveries of tea , both fur home use and exports , are , however , very large , and the stock is fast reducing . The following are the closing prices of the Funds : — Consols , 88 £ ; ditto for account , 88 J ; New Three and a Half per Cents , 97 |; Exchequer Bills , 4 s . to 6 s . prea .

      BcKGLiBiEs , fcc , in thb Citt . Yesterday morning , about one o ' clock , a man , ansnrering the description of the mate of a vessel , entered the Cogers' -hall Tavern , Bride-laae , Fleet-street , and having engaged a bed , retired to rest . Two hours after he was observed bj the landlord ( Mr . Ashton ) to enter his bed-room , when , on speaking to him , he stammered oat in reply , that ** he was anxious to find his way down stairs . " On rising , Mr . Ashton discovered that about £ o , in gold and silver , together with a box belonging to the " Sons of the Thames , " which contained cash , the amount of which is not at present known , h * d been stolen from hii room during the night ; and on further inquiry little doubt remained , as to the above indmdu&i being the perpetrator of the rubbery , as he had absconded . Daring the sight , the Crown Tavern , Fleet-street , kept by Mr . Ferrell , was also broken open , and cash to the amount of £ 25 stolen ; but no clue whatever ha& been gained as to the perp ; trators .

      United States . —The news from the United States , brought by the Patrick Henry , is exceedingly pacific . The Patrick Henry sailed on the Stb , and on the 3 d , the steam ship President arrived with despatches from Lord Palmerston to Mr . Fox , British Minister at Washington , the contents of which were the subject of general speculation throughout the Union . The report abroad was , that the British Govern * ment had authorised Mr . Fox to demand the immediate release of Mr . M'Leod , and in the event of a refusal , to demand his passports and quit the country . This report , however , does not seem to rest on any sure foundation . It is one of the countless conjectures of many-tonsued rumour . Mr . M'Leod vras still a nriBoner at Lockoort . but

      the Government- were about to order hifl removal to Albauy , the capital of the State of New York , where less excitement prevailed , and where , if tried , there would be , at least , a chance of his finding an impartial Jury . On the firBt instant , Mr . Buchanan , the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations , brought the question of the relations between Great Britain and tna United States under the notice of the Senate . The speeches of the Hon . Senators , and of Mr . Clay , who took part in the discussion , form a gratifying contrast to the intemperate report of Mr . Pickens to the House of Assembly . We quote from the report of the proceedings , contained in the New Yoik Courier and Inquirer , the

      following brief extracts , which shew beyoud question the pacific disposition of the American senators , in a debate on the 1 st of this month . Mr . Buchanan said , he was instructed by the Committee on Foreign Relations , to nove to be discharged from tbe consideration of the resolution which nad been rtlaredto that Committee , "requesting the President to communicate to the Senate , if not incompatible with the public interest , any correspondence which may have taken place botween this Government ana that of Great Britain , relative to the north-eastern boundary , not heretofore communicated to the Senate . " lie stated that , as a Convention had been agreed npon between the two countries , for the settlement of the long-disputed

      bouud&ry question , and as there was a high state of mutual irritation along the borders , and there was danger of imminent collision , the interests oi both parties demanded the adoption of such treaty stipulations aa would make an end of the question . Although he would not pretend to say teat there were no omens of war in the conduct of tbe British Government on our northern frontier , > et this he should assert , with much confidence , that in the negotiation itself relative to our north-eastern boundary , nothing had occurred , inconsistent with the sincere and anxious desire which had ftlwayg been professed by that Govnrnment to preserve tae peace which now so happily subsisted between the two countries , and to bring the question to a final and satisfactory conclusion . Mr . Clay gave it as his decided opinion that the state of the difference between the two countries was not such a * to require a special minister . The Minister resident vhere

      would bo able to do all that was necessary in the premises without difficulty . and he thought without delay . After all ( paid Mr . Clay ) I have not yet begun to think of the possibility of any immediate war with Great Britain ; that time has not arrived yet . But however distant it may be , I would relax no effort to place tho country in a proper state of defence . He looked to the absence of all means of floating defence , steam batteries , &c , with the deepest ooncum . He thought the Government should apply all its energies to place the country in snch a Bta : e of defence aa world prepare it to meet any possible exigency th&t might arise . Mr . Gay expressed his belief that both Governments desired peace , ' that it was essential to the interests of each ; and that if war did come , it would not be from the will of the Government , but from collateral causes , over which they would have no controul . The Committee was then discharged , according to the motion ol Mr . Buchanan .

      Tbul op Josxah Misters fob Attempt to Mhrdek . —Our readers will recollect the circumstances attending the attempt , by a young man named Misters , to murder Mr . Mackreth , a commercial traveller , at the Angel Inn . Ludlow , in August last . The trial of Misters took place at Shrewsbury Assiz-. s , on Tuesday last , before Mr . Baron Gurney , when , after the examination of a itreat number of witnesses for tha prosecution , he was fonad guilty , aad sentenced to death . The trial lasted from nine o ' clock in the morning until eifcht iu the evening . Tbe prisoner is described as a young man of intelligent , prepossessing , gontleman-) ike appearauce . The prisoner evinced much emotion upou hearing tho verdict , which he seemed hardly to have expected . He covered his face with his hands , and shed tears . Upon being called upon in the usual form , he said , in a low , determined lone , " 1 am not guilty . "

      TO THE EDITOR OF THB NORTHERN 8 TAB . Sib , —Having viewed with satisfaction the columns of your truly praiseworthy publication , and seeing how the flame ot Chartism is shooting forth her sparks throughout the length and breadth of your land , I cannot but state my snrprise at tbe indifference with which my countrymen ( who profess to love liberty ) look upon the endeavours of their sister countrymen without lendiug a hand in this glorious struggle for the rights and liberties of British subjects , and more glorious , because it is by moral force that the object will be achieved ; for I am certain that the legislature will not refuse to redress the grievances of the working classes ; they must not , for importunity will weary the mo&t obriwrate hfe » Tt .

      1 , as an Irishman , love liberty in my soul , and wish the same to all mankind , and long to see my beloved country free from every manacle of oppression . I expect to see the green fields of Enn siailiiig with beauty , when the hearts of her sons shall be freed from every link of tyranny , and see her what she ought to be" Greit , glorious , and free , First flower of tbe earth , First gem of the sea , " In my opinion , the Charter is the means which shall bring about this wished for reformation ; then

      let Irishmen and Englishmen join hand in hand in thiB noble scheme . Let your missionaries come ever and rouse the spirit of liberty , which is nearly hushed asleep for want of energetic means , or for want of true patriotism in the leaders of the people . Why should Ireland lie dormant , when such numbers are adding to your ranks in Britain in general ? If you depute a speaker to this corner of our Island , yon will find some who would enrol their names in your list , and get organised ; and perhaps the flame may Bpread over our beloved country , and then , ere long , she shall be free . Universal Suffrage , and no surrender '

      Why should the two-thirds and upwards of our fellow-countrymen be deprived of their elective franchise ? Because they are poor . Why should the two-thirds ef the working classes , I may Bay the GeYen-eighths of the working classes in our boroughs , be deprived likewise ? Because they don ' t OCCiipy ten pound houses , or because they are poor . Why is there so much corruption at elections \ Because the people in general are poor , and are xl&d to catch a few pounds from the men who catch it all from them . Because our country is poor , all sorts of degradation must come upon us . But who makes it poor ! It is the Squire , tha Lord , tho Marqui" , the Earl , the Duke , the Baron , the Peer , the Rector , the Bishop , &c ., ic . If I ' m designed your lordling ' fl slave , by nature ' s law designed , Why was an indepedent wish e'er planted in my mind ; If not , why am I subject to bis cruelty or scorn , Or why bss man the trill and power , to make his fellow

      mourn . If you would be pleased to insert this letter in your columns , you will oblige , Yours truly , An Ibisu Chartist .

He was a tailor by trade , and to all appearance from fifty-five to sixty years of age . He had with him a little girl , five years of age , and it would appear that he and his wife had lived for some time separate—she working at Ripon , and he tramping aboHtthe country . Why he should have a . child so vountf with him is a mystery . His

      appearance exhibits traces of excessive destitution . The following evidence was given : — Robert Whitehead , of Little Woodhouse—Met deceased last night near the Beckett's Arms , on Weilington-road . There were three or four others standing with him , and I stopped from curiosity ; he had a little girl with him ; this was after eleven o ' clock . I offered to go to the Vagrant Office with him , but a watchman Baid it was too late ; I then offered to pay for lodgings for him ; we cama into Kirkgate : and a young man took us to the Old Infirmary Yard , where I left him , after paying tor his bed . 1 asked him several questions , but he gave me no answer ; I could not gee anything from him at all . The little girl told me that her mother lived

      at Kipon , and said they had been out all the previous night . My impression was that he was in liquor . The little girl said her father cared nothing about her , and he often " wished she was dead . " His answers to me appeared perfectly rational . I have not seen him since I leichim at the lodging houBe , about a quarter to twelve o ' clock last night . George Crossland , 33 , Old Infirmary-yard , deposed that be kept a lodging house , and that deceased slept there last night ; the little girl told him that her mother worked in a linen faotory at Ripon ; he appeared to be sober , and slept in a room by himself ; he got up between seven and eight thiB morning . Deceased said he waa making his way to Ripon . Richard Morgan , hair-dresser , Kirkgate— -The

      deceased came to my shop this morning , at a little aftet half-past seven : he asked if he could be shaved ; and on being answered in the affirmative , he said he had been in the army , and would rather shave himself if I would allow him . L said he might if he chose , and gave him a razor . I then went down into the cellar-kitchen , and on my return up stairs , I heard a noise as of water rattling . On looking , 1 saw it was blood , and that the mau was cutting his throat right across with the razer . He threw out his arms . I opened the door , and gave an aUrin , and instantly laid hold of the deceased , and sat him on the floor . I sent tor Mr . Ward , surgeon , immediately ; but the man died almost direotly . I saw nothing about him to raise any suspicion in my mind , or i should not have lent lima razor .

      ( The little girl was here brought into the room . Her intelligent appearance excited surprise amongst a ! l present . She said she had been with her father , aud that her mother had left them . She ( the mother ) was working at Ripon , and Lad with her two children , boye . Some of her sisters lived at Stockport ; and her and her father had been there . Her mother was younger than her father . ] Samuel Wade , police serjeant—I met the deceased on Monday morniug lust , about half-past six o ' clock ,

      in Kirkgate . 1 had some conversation with him ; he had the child on his back , and said he had been walking all night . Ho baid he was a native of Stookpurt , and his wife vrna at Ripon . He said he had had nothing to eat since the previous morning , neither had he any money to got anything with . 2 took him to a coucti-tiiiop , and gave him 6 d . toget his breakfast with . From the conversation 1 had with him , I thought he was very low-spirited . He refused to tell his age , or to say why he had left his wifo .

      This being the only evidence that could be adduced , the Coroner briefly summed up , and left it to tho Jury to say whether or no they thought , the deceased was of sound or unsound mind . On the foreman taking the sense of his brother Jurors oil the subject , one sapiently remarked he had no doubt of bis insanity , but he thought they ought to ascertain whether or not hi * poverty was the cause of his being insane ; and bo determined was he on this point , that the Jury thought it necessary to retire .

      Ou their return , m a few minutes , a verdict was returned That the deceased destroyed himself during a fio of temporary insanity . "

      FH . 0 M . TUB LONDON TAPERS OF I'M DAY . NORTHERN CIRCUIT . LANCASTER , Wednksdav , AIarch 24 . CK 0 WN SIDE . ( Before Mr . Justice Maxde . ) Richard Boothman , James Wilkinson , Thomas liitey , and Henry Uidehaiyh , were put to the bar to take iheir trial uponau indictment , which charged them , iu the first count , with the wilful murder of Joseph Halstead , at Coiue , in ( his coanty , ou the 12 th of August last . A second Count charged Boothman with the murder , aud the other prisoners with aiding and abetting him . Dr . Brown , Mr . Hui / rbit , and Mr . Stansfeld , conducted the prosecution ; Mr . Wilkins appeared for Bootbjnan and Wilkinson ; and Mr . AXHERTON for the other two prisoners .

      Dr . Brown , iu stating the case to the Jury , said their attention would be directed to three material points—1 . Whether the deceased came to his death in the manner alleged . 2 . Whether thecircuinstances of the case were such as to amouut to murder . 3 . Whether the prisoners or any of them were the parties . About a week before the occurrence serious disturbances had taken place in the town of Colne , and the magistrates thought it necessary to send for the military , who remained from Friday the 9 th to Sunday the 11 th of August . On the evening of Monday , the 12 tti , the magistrates received information which induced them to swear in seventy special constables , among whom was the deceased , a respectable tradesman ol the town . In the evening a mob paraded the streets . The Riot Act

      was read several times at different places , and the magistrates and constables , with a few police , proceeded along the streets . When they got to Cross-street , they separated into parties , aad went diifeient ways . Soon after , a great noise was beard iu Cross-street , and a report of fire-arms . A rattle was sprung , and the police went in that direction , when it was discovered that a man had been killed , who proved to be the deceased . The Learned Counsel then stated the nature of the evidence by which he proposed to bring home the charge to the prisoners , saying that only one of them could be proved to have struck the deceased , but chit toe others would be shown to be therewith such a common purpose as would render them amenable to the law for the consequences which had happened .

      Mr . Wood , * magistrate , residing near Colne , said , thai for a week previous to the event under investigation , the town had been in a very excited state . On Monday , the 12 th of August , the town was full of people , aud the magistrates thought it advisable to swear in seventy special constables , of whom the deceased was one ; truncheons were delivered to them , and they went oa duty about halfpast nine t ' clock . There were also twenty-seven of the county police . The whole body went to the toll-bar at the east end of the town , where witness read the Riot ; Act . About two hundred persons were present . He also read the Riot Act

      in the market at Windebank and another place . They then proceeded down various Btreeta . At tbe top of CIaytpn-stre « t , they heard a rattle sprung in the direction of Cross-street . They went there . Witness saw a mob , and heard a noise as if iron instruments were dashed against each other . There was a discharge of fire-arms . He heard the expressions" Be firm . Come on . Dash at thorn !" A shower of stones came , and drove the magistrates and constables from their position into the mainstreet , where they were followed by the mob , shonldericg bludgeons , and walking four a-breast . The military were Vhea sent for .

      Cross-examined—When the Riot Act was read , the special constables set up a shout . They had no refreshment before starting . The night was dark . Tbe deceased was a resolute oourageous man , and occasionally took his cups in an evening . Henry Se ^ ar , landlord of the King ' s Head inn , deposed that on the morning after the riot he found the New Church had been broken open , and many ef the iron rails were gone ; fourteen or fifteen were found about 180 yards from the house of Jacob Hawks worth , in Cross-street . They were about a yard and a half long , an inch in diameter , and had spear heads . James Wad , one of tho special constables , accompanied the deceased till they got to the house Of Jacob Hawkaworth , ia Cro 8 a ~ atzeet . The mob had spiked iron rails . Witness was struck at with an iron bar , but was not hit . He ran away , and went home . The deceased was then standing on Hawkswonh ' s door step .

      Jacob Hawkawortb lives in Cross-street . About ten o ' clock that night he heard * noise , and he and his wife got out of bed and went to the window . There was fighting with weapons opposite his house . He saw two swords and some hand-bludgeons . They fought with the police and special constables as hard as they could for about three minutes . Four or five struck at a man who was down at his door steps . One said , D—n him , kill him ;" anothorEaid , "No , don't kill him ,- " another eaid , "Yes , we'll kill him / ' After this , they went towards Clayton-street , when a boy called "Lads , lads , come back , here ' s tho ptl ce ! " The mob came

      Untitled Article

      back , and theM was another very severe engagement near the top of Clayton-street . The mob got the better . , ; . « .. . V . On cross-examination , this witness said he had stated that they had not got a man there who they could prove to be ** a kill . *' Joseph Snowden saw the body lying after the first fight , and he and a Mr . Holdroyd tried to remove it , but could not . The face was covered with blood , and part of the brains were oat . ' Job Harrison was one of the constabulary force . He Baw a man standing bare-headed at Jacob HawksworthV steps . One stepped ont of the crowd and struck the man on the top of the head with a sqaure iron bar . Witness then retreated , and

      was followed by the mas who struck the blow . They soon met fifteen or twenty of the police , when the man ran back and joined in the fight . Witness afterwards saw him in the custody of Sergeant John M'Donald . The prisoner Boothman was the man . William Henderson , a policeman , also spoke' to the identity of the prisoner Boothman . He admitted that they had orders to charge the mob . John M'Donald , sergeant of police < noticed the prisoner Boothman in the mob , endeavouring to escape , and apprehended him . Witness did not see him strike the blow , or see any part of the fight . ' The cap which Boothman was taid to have worn was then , prod need . This closed the evidence as against Boothman in particular .

      Tbe evidence against Wilkinson was , that he was seen by a man named Fowles , in Cross-street , running away , when a policeman struck him on the necic , but did not capture hjm ; and , ' in consequence of this information , John Asguith , constable cf Colne , went to the house of Wilkinson ' s father , at Windebank , between three and four o ' clock on cfae Tuesday morning , where he and two others were found in bod . He bad a clean shirt on . On searching the house , a wet jacket and 8 hoe 3 , and a waistcoat stained with blood * were found , and on the roof of the house outside was a shirt , the bosom of which was bloody . He was taken into custody by a policeman named Wood , to whom , on the way to the House of Correction , he said he should not have done it if the man had not sent him to prison for two

      months for playing at football . Evidence was ( hen put in to shew that in the Jauary previously he had been convicted and imprisoned for two calendar months , under the malicious trespass act , on the complaint of the deceased . The evidence against the other two prisoners , Riley and Ridehalgh , went to show they were present in the fray , but did not fix them with any specific act immediately connected with the deceased . The iron rails found were all round , not square . At the close of the case for the prosecution , Mr . Atherton submitted to the Court that there was no case to go to the jury against Riley and RidchaJgh , and his Lordship being of that opinion , they were acquitted without being called upon tor their defence .

      Mr . Wilkins then addressed the Jury on behalf of Boothman and Wilkinson , and his Lordship having summed up the evidence , the Jury , after a considerable retirement , returned a verdict of Guilty against Boothman , and acquitted Wilkinson . The awful sentence of the law was tfien passed npon the former . Wilkinson , Riley , and Ridehalgh were then arraigned upon , and pleaded Guilty to , an indictment charging them with a riot , and were sentenced , Wilkinson to eighteen months ' , and the other two to twelve calendar months ' , imprisonment and hard labour .

      M up deb at Norwood . —On Wednesday morning , a very extraordinary and painful sensation was felt at Norwood , in consequence of the discovery of the murder ol' a female , who it appears was a married woman , about 36 years of age , and of very creditable connexions . From inquiries made respecting tbe shocking occurrence , the following particulars have been collected , which may be relied on as authentic : —The name of the unfortunate deceased is Elizabeth Winks . She was housekeeper to Mr . Roupeil , a merchant residing in Blackfriars-road , who has also a country house in the vicinity of Brixton . The husband of the deceased was also in the same gentleman ' s service . On Tuesday the deceased left her master ' s residence in town

      to visit her father and other relations , who reside at Brixton . She was accompanied by her daughter . They left , it appears , about nine o ' clock in tha evening to return home . On the following morning ( Wednesday ) about six o ' clock , as Sergeant Taylor , of the P division of police , was going his rounds between Streatham and Norwood , he discovered the body of a female lying on the gross at the end of one ef the lanes , within a few yards of a pond . She was not dead , but in an expiring state , it waa evident that tho unfortunate woman had been brutally maltreated , as her clothes were dragged nearly over her head . There were appearances of severe bruises about her person , fully proving that she had been struggling

      with one or more parties . Tbe grass where she lay also fully demonstrated that a violent struggle had taken place , as if the poor woman had contended with herbrutalaggressor to prevent being thrown into the pond , which was only distant a few yards from where she wan discorcicd by the serjeant of police . The situation she was found in is very lonely , and the only alternative Taylor , the police serjeant , had was to run for additional assistance , which he did without loss of time , returning to the spot with several of his brother constables , at which time the deceased still continued to breathe . She was conveyed to the Horns , at ~ Notwoody where a surgeon was promptly in attendance , but the unfortunate woman expired on her way to the house . The father

      of the deceased states that she left his house on Tuesday night , perfectly sober and comfortable . He cannot account for her being found at Norwood , which was nearly two miles ' from his house ; nor was he at all able to give information respecting the murder of his UBibrtunato child . What is most extraordinary is , that the deceased ' s daughter has not yet been discovered . Yesterday several hundreds of persons visited the spot where the unfortunate woman was discovered . Information of the circumstance was forwarded to Mr . Elyard , the magistrate , residing at Streatham , who has been v « ry active in his exertions to trace the perpetrator of the murder . The surgeon who has examiaed the body of the deceased has given his opinion that her death was the result of violence . Great suspicion is attached to the husband of the deceased , and a

      warrant has been issued for his apprehension . The police are also actively engaged in obtaining all the information they can respecting the mysterious and dreadful occurrence . The deceased has been five years in Mr . Ronpell ' s service , aad was much respected . The body lies at the Horn * , Norwood . Information of the circumstance has been forwarded to Mr . Carter , Coroner for Surrey , who has appointed the inquest to take place to-morrow ( Saturday ) . When the deceased was discovered , 17 s . were foun d on her person , and other trifling property . It is expected that the whole of the circumstances connected with the horrid affair will be developed in the course of the inquest . Up to last evening , the excitement at Norwood , and the surrounding districts , was very great , anxiety being manifested by all classes of persons to discover the author of the atrocious act .

      1 YE 32 DS . —Death by Dkow . ning . —Yesterday morning , an inquest was held before John Blackburn , Esq ., coroner , at the Robin Hood Inn , Bank , on view of the body of James Thewlis , who was taken out of the river Aire on the previous night . From the evidence adduced , it appeared that the deceased was twelve years old , and was employed at the coal-landing below Knostrop , to pump water from the coal vessels previous to their being laden . His father is in the service of Kirkby Fenton , Esa . On

      Thursday afternoon , at three o ' clock , the lad was last seen by a woman , and he was at that time on board a vessel , from vihence it ia suppoeed he had fallen into the river . He was not missed till about an hour afterwords , when , on an outcry being made for him , his cap was found floating in the water . Drags were instantly procured , Tmt the body was not recovered till sometime afterwards , when means wero used to restore animation , but without effect . The Jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned . "

      Unwhousomi Meat . —On Saturday evening last , four quarters of stuff , called beef , was seized in this town Dy the Leet Jury . It was brought into the town by a country butcher named Joseph Sawyer ( who has before played a similar game ) , and was intended to have been sold to the poor at a low price . Itwastaken , in the first instance , to Leadenhall Market , from whence it was intended to have been transferred to two adjoining butchers' shops ; but the occupiers of these having quarrelled , the sale could not be effected , and the secret got to the ears of one of the inspectors , another

      proof of the truth of the old adage— "When a certain class of persons fall out * honest men get their own . " ' Two quarters of the-beast were seized in Leadenhall Market , bnt the owner , having previously been made aware it had become known , had removed tbe other two . Police Sergeant Wade , however , by dint of a little inquiry , discovered that these had been deposited in a stable , at the Harrison ' s Arms , and there they were found . It is due to Messrs . Dyson and Crossley to Bay that their ostler had permitted Sawyer to take his load there without their knowledge . The four quarters were publicly burnt in the Vicar ' s Croft yesterday .

      At a Mektiito heldton Thursday evening , to consider what steps should be taken at the anti-Corn Law meeting , on Tuesday next , all seemed to be unanimous for giving them battle in their own camp . The following resolution was adopted : — "Th » t we consider it to fee the duty of the Chartists , whenever opportunity presents itself , to expose every kind of hypocrisy , and in order to do this effectually , call upon every Chartist in Leeds to attend the meeting on Tuesday next .

The manufacturers complain bitterly , both of the want of trade and mosey , and are of opinion that

      let a change come when it may , it must be for the better , it being utterly impossible that they can be much worse off than they are . Leeds Fortnight Faih , March 24 . —There was only about an average supply of Beasts at market to-day ; b ' ut of Sheep there wai a rather extraordinary nnmbor .

      Hcddebsfield Cloth Makket , Maech 23 bo . — There was another dull market to-day , nothing being inquired for but light fancies , such aa plaids and checks for summer wear or any new pattern . The merchants are very cautious in their purchases , although it is usual , at this seasau of the year , to do a large business for exportation . All are anxiously waiting for news from America by the next steamer , which is just due , expecting itto be more favourable . Several of the large manufacturers ate turning off hands , and many only partially employed . Prices remain much the same , no alteration being perceptible . The Wool Market continues flat , and prices may be quoted a shade lower .

      Salford Cattle Market , Wednesday , Mabch 24 . —There was only a small show of cattle at market , but of sheep the supply was good . The demand for beef being more than equal to the stock offering caused the whole to be sold at prices rather exceeding those of this day week , and all sold .

      York Corn Market , March 2 « . —There is a fair quantity of Oats and Beans at market , and a few samples of Barley , but of Wheat scarcely a sample appears . Our millers are necessitated to give fall prices for Wheat , and for Seed Beans the demand is good : but Oats and Barley are only dull sale , and the latter is full Is . per qr . lower .

      Newcastle Corn Market , Saturday , March 20 . —The farmers' deliveries at present continue small here , but the arrivals from tbe coast this week of Wheat and Flour are large . The millers to-day bought with great caution , and sales could only be made to any extent by submitting to a decline of Is . perqr . on the prices of this day week . Supplies of Barley continue small , and prices are fully maintained . Rye , except of the finest qnality , is in little request Beans are in very limited demand : maple Peas still in fair request for seed . No improvement in the demand for Malt to note . Oats are in moderate supply , and prices are fully supported The supply of Flour is again large , and the sale is dull , but prices are without change .

The foreign arrivals include 2 , 400 quarters of Wheat , 740 quarters of Oats , 3 , 150 quarters of Beans , and 500 barrels of Fiour , all of which , under the present state of the duties , will doubtless be placed in bond . From British North America we have received 3 , 000 barrels of Flour . Throughout the week , the trade generally has ruled dull ; at Friday ' s market we had scarcely any country buyers in attendance , and the large supplies of Wheat already noticed { consisting chiefly of free foreign brought round from London ) inducing our town ' s millers to

      confine their purchases within the narrowest limits their necessities would permit , few salesi occurred , though holders generally were offering their samples at a decline of 2 d . per 701 bs . Flour has undergone no change in value , but has latterly sold less freely than at the beginning of last week , * remark that may be equally well applied to Oatmeal Oats have not met any extension of demand , bat have Btillbeen in so small supply that they have maintained full prices . English malting Barley must be noted Is . per quarter cheaper . Beans have barely sustained their previous value . Peas as last stated . One thousand quarters of Bannato Wheat , of nnddline quality , have changed bands in bond , at 53 . oa . per 7 pib 8 . ; and 2 , 00 OJ > arrela of United States ' Flour have been , sold , to arrive , at 24 s . 3 d . to 24 s . od . per barrel .
