      Oz Monday , the 5 th October , I met with Cherry , and B- > : inson , and Fox , at a Tillage called Smithies , near Bimtiey . I met tkem without appointment , or expectation of seeing either of them ; it wm about ten o " clock A u . when I met them . There vu about to take place a foe - .-rice , anl I had gone for the iole purpose of seeing it TV : s n » me « of the two persons who were to ma wer- Sister and Brook . Robinson asked me if I could let L : iu have 3 s . 6 d . I said I could not , as I had but 2 * d- m the vr » rid . Robinson then said be would haTe cine money before night . 1 remained at Suiilhies until two o ' clock , r . M ., hating formed there the company of a young woman named Toppings ; th « ie was another yeans woman with her named Milliard . Myself and tie rvo yonne women went into a house occupied by

      oct of tseir acquaintance , as it was Tery cold . We Tti ^ iiietl in the house about half an hour , and then we ^ t ^ rUIiout Btopping to see the race . "We returned , all ihree together , in the direction of Barnsley , about Oce " » nd a half miles distant We arrived at Barnsley th- ' half-past two , p . m . I left the young woman , and wt-nt to my father ' s houte , my home , to get sometti ^ s t *> eat . l remained about a quarter of an hour , * n J then -went ont ; and ou going dOWE the principal ftre ^ t besides the market-place , I met a person named & ? orj = Barlow . George Bsrlow offered to pay for a pint f lie , if I wo&ld go to John Winter ' s publichoase called the Royal Oak . We then went together to that house , and had a pint of ale between us , Which he paid for . We remained at this house about

      tiree qu * rteri of an boor . We then went to another pcMk-house , called ih * I > uie of York ; and haTing remained there about ten minutes , and got one glus of ale . 1 then lett the Doke of Tork . leaving George Barlow in it . I then went up alone to a street of houses , eal ' rJ Taylor-row , and remained there , not in a house , aKii ? one hoar , talking with one-John Hilton , a weaver . I then left him and went home again to my father ' s hi' : ? e . I got there at about fire o ' efock ; I got my tea m <\ w » r . t out again , having been in thehcuse about ten jniiicits . I had agreed -with the young woman , Deborah Tor-: iix : ; . whom I had been -with at- Smithies , to mett her in the afternoon of that day . I went out from my fitt- ' - ' s house for the sole purpose of meeting her ace niine to appointment I met her near what is

      * V 1--i Bvrn * ley Town End , about a mile from my fatter s house ; this would be about hall-past five , p . m . "We ihen ( the young woman and myself ) sat dovrn tor- ? : h--r upon some steps belonging to Jam- s Cleminaer-. We sat there abonfc thret ? quarters of an hour . Wtf ?' fi--n left that place and went down the street te ~ k *?» in . and -was abent a quarter of an hour coming to Joshua "Wr&ge ' B shop ; just opposite this ahep 1 mt-t K Mnson . and Cherry ; the young woman , on hearing t e young man say he wanted me , walked away Inrn . eeistely ; after this Robinson told me , in a great Jinrry tfcat a man had been collecting some milk saivy . he said the man would pass Crow-well-hill , wli-c is about half a mile from where we were . S"Hrsos and Cherry told me to * follow them .

      W- ~ 'i three ran in the direction- of Worabro ' Coiu- :- > b , then passed Crow-well hili When we got to the Worsbre' Bars , the whole three of iu my- it on the ? few Read , still running , and OTer a tnrrip field . I did not know -where we were going , bn : followed them , as th « -y said the man had some saor . iv ibout him . When we got into the field in which Blackburn ' s bouse stands , though I did not at the : m ~ know whose house it was , Cherry , and myself * fcr > vp- -.-i at the barn end ; Cherry then took up a piece < jf W ..-ti , about four feet long , it was a gate head . Cb ^ rrr gave the gate head to me , and said I was to jfcriie ihe man with it When I got the gate bead in By hasds , I went to the gate that leads into the yard of the house , or farm yard : Cherry vet stood at the

      barn en < J , -srbere I had ju » t left him . I was DOW about « ight yarus from Cherry . Cherry told me that Robinton ¦« . ¦ ¦! putting up his hand for us . At this time I » w the girl that g » Ts evidence against me at my trial , * he whs Mantling at the house door , I was about from twenty to thirty yards fr » m her . Cherry left me and wee : towards Robinson . Robinson was , at the time Cherry went away , standing upon the wall against the Ian * srfcich ! eads to the house . I Raw kim there , he was ibuut thirty yards from me . I immediately followcu Ci-crry , and -whilst I was folio-wing Cherry , I bbw Kobins-. n upon the wall with a stone in his hand , it appeared to be a large stone- I saw him at the Bmt time l-. ft up botfi his arms , as if in the act of hurling K > njething down from the wall where he stood .

      I Wis then about eight yards from Robinson . I then »¦» S // t > inson jump from the wail into the lane , bnt J > eft > r- I had got on to the wall myself , I heard some one s * y ' You d—d rascals . " I knew this was not the Tolor either of Robinson or Cherry ; from the wall 1 » w i sciiffle between a man whom I did not know , ami RobirsoE and Cherry . 1 sit Robinson and Cherry pul ] the man ' s fret from under him , and the man fell down . I thtTi jumped from the wall , and with the gate head in my hand , I struck the first man I came at I intended to h&vt- struck the man I saw struggling with Robinson and Cherry . The height of the wall was about sir or seven feet The moment I jumped down I struck at the first man nearest me ; I found then that 1 h ^ d-etrnck at Robinson , for be said I had broken his

      arm- Robinson said I must esxrj him into the planting . I toi-i him be might walk there . Robinson thtn went * wjt jn the direction of the planting" ; Cherry ran in the Jirectiun of the pasture . It was at this moment I nw a p « rson lying on the ground in the lane , with his bat off ; and I also saw the young woman mentioned bef-rt . and an elderly woman with her , with her cap oo . Both the women screamed out several times , jnnrdsr . I st » od a littlB , at about eight yards from the two -women , terrified with ray arms hanging do- « m > --y my side . When T saw the two women coming towajtls me , I ran 3 way . I ran towards the pasture gate of the field , besides the planting . I saw no one but Cfce » ry before me as I ran ; before 1 got to the gate mentioned , I stumbled over some sticks and other

      obstiDctious in the lane that led to the pasture , and felL 1 immediately g « t up and got ovtr the pasture gate . I suil saw Cherry running before me . I ran in the direction of the pasture gate , because I dare not go by the Barracks , thinking that the soldier on sentry might fire a ; me ; I should have gone that way by the Barr-cks if it had not been for this dread of being shot I got into the field where Cherry was running , I overtook Uim crossing the New Road . We then went together , still running , until we came to Mr . Tee ' a fiali pond . We then went to Knaresbro' Dyke , cm tbe Lancaster road . Here a person named Godfrey Hirst came to me , and seizing hold of n * = , said I had been stealing apples . He wanted me to giv « him some ; 1 told him I had

      none . Hirst then left us . Cherry and I then went in the direction of Taylor Row ; before -we got to Taylor R « w I met a man , whom I fouxd at . the coroner ' s inquest wm Henry B « IL We then went into the Red Lion , a public-house at Barnsley Town End ; ai we were sraniiinj at the entrance by the house . Cherry and myself agreed to go and seek Robinson . We went to the Railway Tavern , but he was not there ; here I bad » - « mall glass of ale . We here met Thomai Cherry , the brother of John Cherry , and George Barlow . John Cherry asked Thomas Cherry if Robinson had been there ; he said he did not know . We all four of us then -went out , and went on the Doncaster Road , towards the Butchers' Arms' public-house ; but we did Sot go in . At the entrance of this house I saw Fez

      in the street , and he joined tij ; I had not seen hi « n ( Fox ; sinci the morning of the day . Fox and I then went to a public-house kept by a person « am » d Fanny Aubery , leaving the two Cherrys a * d Barlow in the street . We got a pint of ale at Fanny Aubery ' s ; and after this was drank Fox ordered a pint of milk of a young man in the hou » e ; he got the milk and drank it . I then p&id for a pint of aie "with the 2 ^ d . I ba 4 by me . Here Robinson and John Cherry joined us . Kobinson sat down ani told me 1 had broken bis arm . He stripped his coat off and showed us Ms arm ; it had a swelling above the elbow the saa of as egg . I t « ld him to go and ge ; it set and 1 would pay for it in the morning . We then agreed to have soiae chtese anJ bread , and

      John Cherry went out to buy some . He shortly jetumed with some . We all partook of the cheese and bread , and -when it \ ra > finished , -we went all together , myself , Fol , Robinson , and the two Cherrj-s , to William Robiason ' s puklic-house , called the Butchers ' JLrms . Here -we had one pint of ale , and when this was drank , we said the landlady aiglit as well bring u a quart , as there were fire of u * . We afterwards agreed to haTe some mutton steaks , onions , and bnad . We met George Barlow there ; BarUw went with Fox to buy the stuks , onions , and bread , leaving myself , the two Cherrys , and Robinson , while they retarne-L We had these cooked , and we all partook of thtm ; one or two persons in the room partook with ms also . We had ale supplied us by a quart at once , from time to time . When we had finished eating and drinking , which wu about ten o'clock in the evening ,

      we separated , ud I went home . Robinson went ¦ with me as far as > fewla » d . Robinson called at a publicboas * called ike J > oke of York ; this was about ten o ' clock , and thea I went straight home . I got home Si about half-past ten , and nobody was up . My Bother got up to let me into the house . My father mid-he iiad heard of the murder , and asked me where I bad been . I told him I had been at Smithies .

Their Lordships then adjourned until Thursday .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , March 30 . The Committee appointed to try the me-ita of the petition against the return of Mr . Gladstone for the borough of H ' alsall reported that that gentleman was duly elected , but that mekher the petitian aor the opposition to it were frivolous or Texatious . The committee further reported that theTe prevail » d a general system of treating at the last election at rTalsall , but there was no satisfactory evidence to connect it with the sitting member . The Chascei / lob or the Exchequer , in reply to a question from Sir R . Peel , said he would make his financial statememt for the ye » r on Friday , the 30 th of April

      Mr . Pakimgton then rose , pursuant to notice , to move that a select comxiittee should be appointed to inquire into the state of the colony of Newfoundland . The Hon . Member , as the groundwork of his motioa , stated that the population of Newfoundland amounted to from 75 . 009 to 80 , 900 persons , who were nearly equally divided into Protestants and Citholics . He did not mean to find fault with the G-overnment for having conferred a constitution on the colony , though , for h : s o" » rn part , he thought it was prematurely givwn ; and It was rather a singular fact that the very persons who were formerly most anrtous for that constitution , were very many of them now most desirous to have it abolished . The elections in the colony had been attended by serious rioting . At St John ' s the elections c » uld not be concluded at all without mi . itary intervention . To such an txtent had these outrages keen carried , that the governor , wken opening the session last January , bad exprtssed doubts as to whether the colony was yet in a fit state to receive & legislative system .

      Lord J . SussexL would not oppose the motion , though he had not himself thought it necessary to propose a committee of inquiry . He would not deny that serious disturbances bad taken place , nor was he prepared to state to the House the means by which Government proposed to remedy the existing evils . At a future time he would propose them to the House , whatever might be the opinion of the committee . He could not think that they had prematurely gwnt « d a constitution to Newfoundland , for the governor of the colony had stated that it had rapidly improved in

      many respects under that constitution . He was , therefore , unwilling to abolish the constitution , nor could be have much faith in a House of Commons which showed itself too ready to do away with representative government Afier some observations from Mr . Bvub and Mr . J . O Cossell , the motion was agretd to . The House having resolved itself into committee on the Poor Law Amendment BUI , the consideration of clause It was resumed .

      Mr . Colquhow * moved a provision , to the effect that in all these combined parish or union schools a chaplain should be appointed to regulate and luperint < -n < l the instruction of the children , except those children were of a religion other than that of the established church , whose parents , or whose godfather or godmother , might object to their being instructed in the ten « ts of the established church , in which case it shuulii be lawful that a licensed minister of the religion of the parents should vkit the schools at certain hours to be appointed , to teach that religion to the children . Provided also , that such chaplains should be appointed by th « board of management , with the consent of the bishop ef the diocese , and receive snch salary as the Poor Law Commissioners should think proper .

      l > r . LcsmsGTon felt confident that the appointment of these chaplains was actually necessary , though he did feel some reluctance at throwing any additional burdens on the Diuentere for the purpose of educating children in a religion to which they were opposed . He thought , however , that the Dissenters themselves would rather see these children educated in the principles of the Established Church , than that their education should be entirely secular . He was of opinion that the exception contained in the proposition of the Hon . Member was by no means broad enough . Sappose three or four orphans were thrown into these schools , whoie parent * and forefathers had for centuries been Catholics , and suppose those children to have already imbibed some of the principles of that religion , it would , in his opinion , be a violation of the first principles of religioni liberty to bring up children under such circumstances ia the religion of tke Established Church . The Hon . Member confined his

      exception to the parents , or to the godfather and godmother ; but rarely an uncle or aunt , or other relative , would be as well entitled to interfere . He had instanced the case of Catholic orphans , but the same reasoning would apply to the orphan children of Baptists or Independents , or , indeed , those of any other religious persuasion . Lord tbig ^ mouth contended that children , to whose relatives their religion was a natter of indifference , should be brought up in the tenets of the Established Church . Lord Saado . y saggeated that if the clause wu so framed as to give th « power of objection to children being brought up in the religion of the Established Church to parents and natural guardians , instead of godfathers and godmothers , the difficulty W 0 U \ d be obvialed .

      Mr . Ha wes contended that the effects of this clause would be to place the education , not only religious but secular , of all these children in the hands ef the clergy of the Established Church . As the payment of these chaplains would come out of the poorrates , to which the Dissenters so largely contributed , he thought they would never be reconciled to it He protested against the clause , and should give it every opposition . Lord J . Russell wai of opinion that , without some modification of the clause , they would run the mk of giving too great power to the chaplains over the secalar education of the children in these schools . Mr . Lasgdalk suggested the addition of some words to protect a child of twelve or thirteen yean of age , who might already have received some knowledge of the principles « f a religion , sot being that of the Established Church .

      Mr . Wab . d suggested the postponement of the clause , in order to give time to have it properly framed in order to meet the objections which had been urged . Mr . Bern a l said the clause , in its present position , could not be postponed . Mr . BLACKSTONE observed that , in that case , he would rather have the clause rejected altogether . The question was , he thought , too important to be introduced incidentally in a Bill for the continuance of the Poor Law Commission . Mr . T . Egkhto * could not see why these chaplains should not be paid without objection , upon the same principle a * chaplains of prisons were paid , out of the county rate . After some farther discussion , the amendment of Mr . Coiquhoun was carried , by a majority of 119 to 32 . The Chairuah then put the question , that the clause stand parf of the Bill , upom which

      Mr . Park . k& said h » should oppoM the clause altogether . Mr . Grimsditch was alM opposed U the clause . Mr . "VYakxey was of opinion that all the matters relating to the education of the children should be made the subject of a separate Bill . The House divided upon the original motioa , upon which the clause was carried by a majority of 141 to 36 . Colonel-Sibihorp moved the omission of the ITtb clause , but on a division it was carried by a majority of 144 to 23 . The 18 th clause being proposed , Colonel Sibthoep moved that the Chairman should report progress , upon which the Committee divided , aid the Gallant Colonel's mttion waa negatived by a majority of !•» to IS .

      Colonel Sibtbokp spoke ot the importance of the clause , and taid it was ufair to haras * Members by torci » g its coaaidentfrn upon them at ao late u boor of the niskfc Lord Johh Russell gave way , aid the Chainaan accordingly reported progress , and obtained leave to lit again oa Thursday .

      Wednesday , March 31 . On the question that the Jews' Declaration Bill be read a third time , Mr . Gladstone moved that it be read a third time that day six months . Mr . Peikqlb seconded the amendment Mr . Macaulat did not think the House of Commons was justified in refusing that which ought to be granted , because they might suppose they would afterwards be asked for something the / might not feel disposed to grant .

      Mr . Goulburk contended that if they admitted Jew * to corporate offices it would be impossible to expect them to enforce laws respecting blasphemy or the observance of the Sabbath . , Sir R . INQLIS strongly supported the amendment upon the Bams grounds aa had induced him to oppose the BUI upon it * seeond reading . Lord Sandou was not prepared to go the same length as Hon . Gentlemen on the Ministerial side ef the Hoosa , but still he bad beard nothing to induce him to refuse his assent to this BilL After a few observations from Mr . Ditett , the House divided , and the third reading waa carried by a majority of 108 to 31 . The Bill was then read a third time , and passed .

      LATEST FROM THE UNITED STATES . The Britannia , mail-steamer , arrived oa Wednesday at Liverpool , from Halifax , after a speedy but rough passage of thirteen days from the latter port ; bringing acoonnts from New York to the 15 th , and Boston to the 16 th alt ., inclusive . The intelligence thus received , which has been so anxiously looked for , is not of importance . ^ The affair of M'Leod was still in si&tu quo , and himself in prison at Lockport , awaiting his trial , to which , however , it was not thought he would be brought . Rumours prevailed , that our miaiBter , Mr . Fox , had demanded the release of M'Leod , or his own passport , but the statement ia not , founded upon authority . The boundary question remained also untouched since our last advices .

      ( From the New York American , March 15 . J We have now increased confidence in the belief that no serious difficulties will interrupt our relations with Great Britain . Meanwhile , however , all possible precautions to prevent the occurrence of any untoward events oa the frontier are taking by the Administration . Major-General Scott , not less distinguished as a pacificator , than , at need , aa a dashing soldier , arrived Lere la * t night from Washiugton , on his

      way to the Nia-ara frontier , to take all proper measure ? to repress or repel any partisan outbreaks that might arise in the course and by reason of M Leod's trial at Lockport . That trial is noticed , we believe , for this day week , not this day , as has heretofore been stated ; and we hear it rumoured from Washington * and we believe truly , that the Attorney-General of the United States , Mr . Crittenden , will be present at Lockport , on behalf of the United States , to take such steps as the case may warrant .

      FBOM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . London , Thursday Evening , April 1 , Quarter to Seven . All Fool ' s Day . —This morning , at Bow-street , two well-dressed young men , disoiples of the Waterfords andtWaldegraves , who gave the names of Wm . Towntend and CharleB Smith , wure charged with having made fools of themselves , ere the anniversary of their " day of privilege "' had well get in , and in that capacity created a disturbance in Covent-garden market , and assaulting an officer in the execution of his duty . It appeared that the defendauts , with some other persons , stationed themselves in the conservatory , and

      amused themselves with throwing orange peels at people passing to and from the market , and otherwise conducting themselves in a very improper manner . On the officer desiring them to desist or leave the place , they refused , saying they would act as they pleased , at the same time making use of very abusive and insulting language , from which they proceeded to more substantial violence , and it was with considerable difficulty that they were secured . It turned out that the defendant Townsend is a solicitor , and Smith his articled clerk ; and they were Sued £ 5 , or fourteen days' " limbo . " They were then locked up ; bHt , jujt pefore the arrival of the van to take them to their destination , they " raised the wind , " and -mizzled .

      Singulau and Fatal Accident . —An inquest waB held this morning by Mr . Uaker , in Old Gravel Lane , on the body of a female child , named Crawley , a # ed sixteen months , whoso death was caused by a singular accident . The mother of the deceased said that on St . Patrick ' s Eve she went out to sup at a friend's , taking decoased with her . After supper , aa the child was playing about the room , she fell over a stool , aud then screamed very violently . Her mother ran to her assistance , and on taking her up

      found tbat hhe was bleeding from Ihe mouth , and that she held in her hand a square-pointed shoemaker ' s knife , the blade of which was stained with blood . The child showed no external wound , and the knife must have entered her mouth aa she tell . The parish surgeon , ( Mr . Garrett , ) saw the child on the day following the accident , but did not discover the real nature of the injury until a few days afterward ? , when he found a distinct incised wound in the throat , ( caused , doubtless , by the knife being forced in , by the fall ) , surrounded by inflammation , and producing extreme difficulty of breathing ; the sudden sloughing of this wound ended in suffocation and death . Verdict , " Accidental Death . "

      Citt News , Commercial Kevikw , and a Warning Hint to ihk Depositors in Savings' Banks . —The Chancellor of the Exchequer has laid his ministerial paw upon the Savings' Banks deposits , and given in exchange Exchequer Bills—that is , his flimsy and fluctuating " promises to pay , " to the commissioners . Even among the money-mongers this step has been loudly deprecated , as tending to destroy all confidence in the hitherto sacred nature of this trust ; and most of the ' -long heads upon 'Change , ' predict , with considerable confidence , that this Bource of revenue will be thereby seriously injured , if not permanently impaired . The objeotions to this mode of augumenting the National Debt are numerous ; and it is argued by the beat informed in such matters , tbat if this system be

      permitted , the Government may use the power of increasing the debt to an unlimited extent . Irrespective of this view of the money market , the general aspect is favourable to commerce ; the changes are in favour of this country , and gold ia flowing into the " old lady ' s" coffers . All this betokens a more lively state of affairs ; but , as money is abundant , and first-class bills are very scarce , some of the " heavy gentry" may be induced to embark their posh in foreign loans . They may , perhaps , burn their fingers at thiB fund ; for , recently , on the bare possibility of war with France , French securities fell 23 per cent , in as many days . The following are the closing prices to-day of some of the British funds : —Three per Cent . Consols , 88 j ; New Threeand-a-Half per Cent , 97 s ; Exchequer Bills , 7 ; Consols for Account , 88 j .

      The Scicide Mania . —In the course of last week , six cases of attempts at self-destructioa were admitted to the London Hospital alone , one of which proved fatal . During Monday and Tuesday last , three other cases of a similar description were admitted to the same Hospital , of which another has terminated fatally . Frightful Accident . —Falling op a Floor-Cloth Manufactory . —Yesterday afternoon , about three o ' clock , the tioor-cloth manufactory belonging to Messrs . Wringdon and Kendall , now erecting in Page ' s-walk , Grange-road , Bermondsey , fell in with a tremendous crash , amongst the numerous workmen , crushing seven oi them in a most

      frightful manner . The sufferers were immediately conveyed to Guy ' s Hospital in cabs , where in a short lime two of them were so far recovered as to be permitted to be removed to their homes . The others remain at the hospital without hopes of recovery . There were upwards of fifty persons on the building at the time , and the disastrous ooourrence is attributed to the braces which had secured massive pieces of timber , forty feet in height , supporting the floor , having been snapped by the heavy gusts of wind , which continued to blow all the morning . Additional braces had been placed , but a sudden gust snapped all the props , aud in an instant levelled the whole fabrio with the ground .

      KEXCrfDUEnr *—Low Tyhankt . —Last week , the following loir act of petty tyranny was played off upon the Chartists of this town , and may serve to show , in a small way , the state of English liberty at tke present d » y . For a considerable time pack , th » common bellman of the town has declined having anything to do with crying the meetings of the Chartists at the Working Men ' s Hall , alleging as bis reason ) that if he did it would be as much as his place was worth , in consequence of orders received from » few persons oalliog themselves the town ' s authorities . Having a week or two ago refused io announce a Chartist meeting at the above place , that body were under the necessity of appointing a crier of their own . A rattle , sometimes used by the Temperance Society , waa accordingly borrowed of Mr . Thomas Knowles , and Mr . John Water house , a barber , agreed to perform the duties of the office

      pro tern . He was accordingly going through the town last week , informing the inhabitants that a representation of Dr . M'Douall , would be gone through in the Working Men's Hall , when a fellow called Sugden , lately dubbed as town ' s constable , came to him , and forcibly seized the rattle , pretending at the time , that it was a publio nuisance , and endangered her Majesty ' s peace , by drawing crowds of people to the place . Mr . Waterhouse replied to this ridiculous charge , by observing that the people collected , amounting to only about a dozen , were there before he came , and their attention bad only been drawn towards him through Sugden ' * own conduct in seizing the rattle . Argument was , however , out of the question , and Mr . Waterhouse and the rattle were taken to the magistrates' clerk , where Sugden declared his willingness to take oath that the unusual noise of the instrument had collected

      about-20 . 0 persons m the oourse of a minute , and to all appearance , but for his timely interference , would nave produced a riot in the town . On Wednesday last , Messrs . Knowles and Waterhouse appeared before the magistrate ? at the petty sessions to lay a complaint against Sugden for forcibly seizim : the rattie , and wishing to know the opinion of their worships about the means they ought to employ iu publishing Chartist meetings , aa they were denied the use of the common bell . Mr . Ellis informed them that , in his opinion , a bellman had a

      disoretiouary power , and had a right to refuse crying anything he might deem improper ; and if the eonstabJe can prove that the rattle is a nuisance , and obstructs the passage through the town , he has a right to stop it . The parties left the Court , declaring their determination to know something more about the power of either magistrates or constables , to prevent the crying of legal meetings , upon which Mr . Ellis reminded them that they were magistrates , and ; had the power of seuding people to Wakefield House of Correction .

      stock pout . —The Anti-Corn Law Humbugs AND THEIR HoLE-AND-CoBNEuMEKTIhGS AGA 1 N . ^ -On Friday evening , a meeting took place in the large room , at the Bull Inn , upon the subject of the Corn Laws . Messrs . Cobden , Smith , and five others from Manchester were present . This meeting , as all the rest have been of late , excepting one at which they got completely beaten , was called by a pink colour in order to evade fair discussion—finding they cannot , convert the working men of Manchester to their half-and-half measures , they resolved to have a try at Stockport ; but , poor creatures , it was no go , one of our Chartists mm one of these great repealers in the street , on Monday , and the repealer began to tell him what a great meeting they had had ou Friday evening . The Chartist soon told him there were in number just forty-eight , and not a soul more , out of which number only twelve were operatives , this no -repvalers will deny . The repealer acknowledged it was truth and was silent .

      Dreadful Fihe . —About one o ' clock on Sunday moruing , the corn mill belonging to Mr . Wardle was observed by the watchmen to be on firo . They gave an alarm as promptly as possible , but the rage of the flames was past all human efforts to put out , until the whole ol the building was destroyed , together with a great quantity of flour , grain , and malt , which had been sent to be ground . —A portion of a cotton factory belonging to Mr . Barlow caught fire , and the chief exertions of the firemen were directed for the safety of that which they succeeded in accomplishing , at least without its sustaining any material injury . It is not known how it caught fire , as both watchmen were by only half an hour before . Mr . Wardle and Mr . Barlow are both insured to the amount .

      On Wed . vesdav evening , a publio meeting was convened in the Chartist-room , for the purpose of electing a person for the Convention . A resolution was passed , agreeing with the plan laid down by Feargus O'Connor , Esq . A second resolution was also passed , that Dr . M'Douall should be requested to represent the people of Stockport . Both were carried without opposition ;; and a third was about to be submitted , when a discussion arose as to the legality of the meeting . They referred to the Star , and found they were wrong , and adjournod till that night week , to call it by placard .

      MACCLESFIELD . —The anti-Corn Law Petition . —We have received , from a gentleman of Macclesh ' eld , a lettvr containing a contradiction to the statement in our last , that the Corn Law repealers of Macolesfield have compelled the infant scholars of the Primitive Methodist Sunday School to sign a petition , for a repeal of the Cora Laws , and that the teachers , male and female , signed for those who could not write their name . " Our present Correspondent , affirms this to be an infamous libel upon the character of the Repealers at Macclesfield , and states that there has been no petition at all on the subject this year . The paragraph was inserted upon the authority of a communication from Macclesfield , authenticated by what seemed to be a real name and signature . We have handed the name of the party to our present Correspondent , of whom we know nothing more than ofi the other , and so leave the matter between them .
