He said as be was not here to take part ia that business , which he believed was " well done , though h « wa 5 not there , ( and which he should r ? gTei as lengas he livea , ) he would now call their atientioB to tbe great evils the working classes were fatbanrixtg under , and the only remedies which ¦ wonld effec : ua ! ly remove those distresses .

xhx Hcxbvg Co > -fese 5 Ce . —A public Keeting -WMbeH in the Kether Chapel , Norfolk-street , on Taesday erening , to hear the report of tbe Ministers -wbehad attended the Manchester Conference . The MH'itiiiA was called foTseren o ' clock , at which time « re reached the chapel , when we fonnd it about half Sled . By eight o ' clock the chapel was well filled ' bj * a aodienee principally of the middle class , not , . * towel whom showed ^ by their sle « k-appearance , Ma * thfl ** horrid bread tax" had not prevented their ; ^ tkiifiag .

^« d ™ gallery , where we were seated . The Her . T . Smith was then called to the chair , who jdeHrered a meaningless address in a drawlirg , sanctMKmwM toae ; after which he . called on the Rev . Jir . Laroja , Bap : irt Minister , to moTe the first reaolotien . The Rev . Gentleman aoved a resolution to Ae effect— " That the mectin * viewed with the -eeepest interest the mass of evidence brought be-Snw tbe Conference , proving that the decay of our *» de , decrease of wages , . and the destitution and suffering « f the people were caused byihe iniquitous 4 &x « b food . " In support of his resolution the Rev GeaiZ&mxn . took up the greater part of bis speech in eodeaTounflg to show tflat Corn X . aw Repeal was 9 Ot poliUeal question—that his party were not f&&t * l difiBaaters—argued that Corn tier Repeal otbbU not injare the agricultural labourers—true

n » t be disappointed . ( Cheers . ) The IUt . Mr . Mai >; , Independent Minister , seconded the resolution . ) { 9 maintaiaed that it was the duty of every man to in . restigate the causes of the present social m jojy , ( Why , then , Rev . Sir , were the Christian C j » rti « t Ministers ) and Rational Religionist Preaeb mk , ^ - claded from your Conference ?) He spoke f £ tffecting statements made to tbe Conference , of' j » shocking state of the working class of Paisley »* d Manchester . ( Why were not John punoa- « Hi Lloyd Jones allowed to giye in tneir * afiectir ^ statements " of the " ebockine state of Ae wor ' cfeg class" in Dundee and London T ) He said there , -was sottething radically wrong in the present ey *' . ©* . < lf so , will the humbug of Corn-Law-Repeal *» radically" cure
the disease acknowledged V ) Ad A osnemded by calling upon his hearers to agitate , until the poor man's rights were not -only acknowlt dged , bnt granted and secured . ( Be assured , most Fiev , Sir , thai we are determined to tio . ) The resolution was then put by the Chairman * with breathes haste , fearing there might be some opposition , and declared by him to be unaoimoRsly carried . Mr . Bailey , Calrmist Minister , moved tbe-8 ecoud resolution , which was a mere eebo « f the 'firt * . In ite support be ^ tAwted a lengthy and eloq « ent speech . Pity it U that his abilities should + 0 deroted to the furtheraeoe of the schemes
of aTilo faction , instead of tbe Tiodication and upholdiag of the uotrersal ri g hts of man . He lashed the Church Parsons and W « d « yan Preachers , and for the latter was hissed by a « j » nsiderable number , answered by the cheers ef ins friends . In the course of his address , he gave ntteranoe to the following democratic remark , — Kings were made for the people , —laws were made fer the people , —no section cf the community ought to be the masters of society . " ( True , Mr . Bailey , most true . ; bnt be consistent . Leave the ranks of tbe " plundering few , " and join the plundered many in tbeir struggle for tbe power to right theraselres . ) A R « t . Mr . Davis seconded the resolution . He delivered &
rambling tale about M cheap bread , high wages , and plenty to do , " closely interlarded -with Scriptural quotations . The speech of Mr . Bailey had , we fancied , affected the nerves « f the Rev . < jrentleman , for he earnestly begged of his hearers not to be miBled by any appeals to thtir passions ; on no account to think of appealing to physical force ; and to be sure not to abandon the Anti-Corn Law agitation for any agitation for erganie changes . He woand np with some trash about oar lovely and beautiful Q / ieen , and argved that a repeal of tbe Corn Laws vr&s now all but certain , seeing that the aforesaid lovely lady had appointed the R * v . Baptist Noel one of heT Chaplains J Tbe resolution having beea Carried , a Mr . Rhodes moved a resolution approving of the acts of the Conference , and awarding the thanks of the meeting to the Ministers who had addressed them that evening . The resolution being seconded , was about to be put , when Mr . Harney ,
who spoke from the gallery , said he had a question to ask before the resolution was put to the meeting . The Chairman could not hear Mr . H . though he certainly did not speak in the lowest tone ; Mr . H . however succeeded in making him hear , when Mr . Muirsaid something to the Chairman ; upon which , in spite of Mr . Harney ' s opposition , the Chairman put the resolution , and declared it carried . Mr . Harney insisted on putting his question , and was met , as might be expected , by the uproarious opposition of the saints , who , however much they may be in love with " free trade , " are certainly no friends to " free discussion . " At length Mr . H . was heard . The question he had to put to the Rev . Gentleman was , When Ministers of all denominations were invited to attend the Conference , why were certain persons excluded , gentlemen who were duly accredited as ministers of the congregations who had f-ent them so Manchester ? ( Cheers and uproar . ) The Rev . Mr . Larom 'aid he was not aware until lie had
returned to Sheffield , that any Minister had been excluded . If any person or persons had been excluded , it was the work of the committee appointed for tbe purpose of considering the claims for admission on the part of all persons pre ^ ming themselves as Ministers ; that committee was a highly respectable bodj , and he doubted not but that in the printed report of the proceedings of the Conference , the committee would give reasiusfor their conduct in this matter every way satisfactory to the country at large . ( Cries of " No , " and applause ) Mr . Harney wished to put another question . ( Great uproar and cries of * Turn him out . ") He would be heard . —A straight-haired , smooth-faced jackanapes , who officiates as doorkeeper in the " house of God , "
exhibited his Christian chanty by threatening to drag Mr . M . out by brute force ; this provoked counter-threats on the f art of Mr . Harnej ' s friends ; in the midst of the tumuk , some of the Rev . Gentlemen cried 10 Mr . Harney to come down to the platform below the puipit , where they wcre congregated . Mr . Harney compiled , and on reaching ihfi " sacred ground" put his question— " Will the Rev . Gentlemen explain how it was that whtn a resolution was noved in conference , declaratory of the Corn Laws being the whole cause of the existing distress —how was it , that when a minister present requested of the chairman permission to speak to the resolution , that the chairman refused , and lhat the conference snpported the chairman in his unjustifiable conduct ? '' The Chairman replied—That the meeting would see it was very necessary for the carrying on of public business , that certain
regulations should be adopted , and being adopted , should be abidtd by . The conference had appointed a committee to select the speakers , only those who were by the committee selected could speak , the chairman oi > ly did his duty , therefore , iu the matter complained of , and the conference very properly protected him . Mr . Harney said , at that late hour of the night , he would not trespass on ! heir patience , but would pimply remark that , iu his humble opinion , the Rev . William Hill was refused a hearing , because the getters up of the conference knew very well that Mr . Hill was no tool of theirs , and feared therefore that his opinions would not chime with tho = e of the Rev . Gentlemen who were permitted to speak all on one side . ( Cheers and hisses . ) The chairman replied that Mr . Harney ' s remarks might be trne , but were certainly very uncharitable ' . Ihc meeting dissolved .
DEWSBTJKY . —A requisition having been presented to the Hi ^ h Constable requesting him to call a meeting of the inhabitants to consider the propriety of petitioning the legislature for an enquiry into the present prison discip li n e , and that gentleman having kindly consented to do so , a meeting wa 3 held in the Market-place , on Thursday evening ing , August 19 th . At eight o ' clock , Mr . William Moseley Stott was called to the chair . The chairman read the requisition calling the meeting , and after a few remarks introduced Mr . Ephraim CJarke , who moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting regarding with indignation and abhorrence , the atrocious cruelties practised under the fiendish silent system , in the public gaols of this country , do resolve to petition tbe House of Commo n s , imperatively urging upon the legislature the necessity of an immediate inquiry into the working of the present prison discipline , that an end may be
put to the barbarities complained of , so repugnant to humanity , and disgraceful to the nation . " Mr . Charles Connor in an exceUent speech , seconded the resolution- Carried unanimously . Mr . Brander moved the adoption of tbe petition—seconded by Mr . Newsome and carried . < The petition was given in our third edition of last week , and again apptars in another colnmn , ) Mr . T . B . Smith of LeedB , next addressed the meeting in a lengthy and powerful speech which was warmly responded to . Mr . Jnlian Harney moved the following resolution , which was unanimonsly agreed to : — "That the brutal mismanagement of the prisons of this country , as set forth in the petition adopted by this meeting , is bnt another proof of the necessity of making the Cb&rter the law of tbe land—that the lawmakers and the executors of the laws may be responsible to ihe whole people . " Thanks being voted to the ChsirmaD , the meeting dissolved .

ELECTION PROCEEDINGS AT BRADFORD . We stated in our last the steps that had been , taken by the Chartists at this place , in connection with the coming election . Since then the Tories hare regularly unkennelled their fox in the person of Mr . Wm . Wilberfoi-oe , whose only recommendations are that he is a Tory , and that his father once represented Yorkshire . It was announced that ho would address the electors at the Odd Fellows' H » U , on Monday night ; the admission , of course , was by ticket , and tke audience might probably comprise from seven hundred to eight hundred . Mr . Wileerforce avowed his ennsity to the New Poor Law , and bis opposition to a free trade in corn . Amongst the usual topics of a Tory speech , he gave utterance to the following passage : —
" I began by saying I am a Conservative . As roch , gentlemen , I oppose the present ministry—as such I oppose tbe Whigs—as such I differ from the Radicals —and as such I disapprove of the Chartists . I think it right to make this distinct explanation , because I do not wish to owe tbe support of a single man to a false impression . It is , s « 1 said before , the truth which will outlast us all , and by this we will stand or fall But , gentlemen , having said this , I really must go on to say that I draw a very great distinction betwixt the Whigs , the Radicals , and the Chartists . 1 look upon the Whigs as a party as dishonest ( Hear , bear , and applause . ) I am rery sorry if I give pain to any body , but I have
been taught to call things plainly by plain names . Hear , hear , and applause . ) I look upon Radicals as very mischievous and mistaken men , but a great deal more honest than tbe Whigs . ( Laughter and applause . ) And I look upon the Chartists , in their origin , and in the history of their career , as tbe deluded victims of Whig deception —( eh eers)—suffering , justly when ttey break the laws , and therefore , while I pity them I must condemn , but led to the brink of the precip ice and ignorant )? into the breach of the law by those whu infinitely more deserve the penalties which they have inflicted upon their own unhappy victims . " ( Tremendous cheering . )
His address occupied about an hour , and his friends seemed quite satisfied . Mr . Busfeild's party remained quiet . The only step they have taken , of any importance , is to announce that , out of respect for the memory of Mr . Lister , their late representative , they will conduct the present election " without flags , banners , or music ! " The plain English of this is , that their last election bills are yet unpaid , and , iu consequence , their nigs are in pawn , and music can no longer |? e had on tick . As a party , the Bradford Whigsare defunct ; they are divided amongst themselves ; they are worse than the dog in the manger . They cannot carry the election themselves , and they will not assist the only party , by union with whom they might return a truly liberal and genuine representative .
The " lads , "however , are not behind hand in their proceeding * , they also gave notice of a public meeting for Monday night—not a " ticket meeting , ' but one to which all might have access—in the open air . The meeting was held in front of Mr . Ibbotson ' s shop , and comprised an audience of upwards of seven thousand—another proof , it proof were wanting , of the importance of the Chartists as a party , aiid a demonstration of the iniquity of the present election laws . In fact , there can bo no doubt that , let the election take place when it may , let who will be returned by law , Cvbnel Thompson will be the choice of a vast majority of the inhabitants .
At about half-patt seven o ' clock , Mr . CUrkson , the solicitor , was called to the chair . The space in front of Mr . ibbotson ' s shop and the Bowling-green , being entirely filled . The Chairman addressed the audience at great length , ia which he gave a detailed account of tbe negotiation which had been attempted by the Whigs , who , as we stated last week , had kindly offered , as the purchase of Char ' . ist support to poor Old Busfiald , on this occasion , to give them a share in the representation next time . This offer was refused , and a proposal was made to the Whigs to bring out Colonel Thompson ; who , it was quite certain , by united support , mi ^ ht be returned by a triumphant majority . This proposal , however , the Wh / gs had not courage to entertain , and af er taking time to deliberate , the comniiuee forwarded to the Chartists the following precious piece of Whig chicanery and special pleading : —
Committee-rooms , Leeds-road , Aug . 17 . In reply to the proposition submitted to thtm this morning , by a deputation from the Chartist Committee , tbe Coumiittee for conducting the eltction of Mr . Busfield , beg respectfully to say , that they fully concur in tbe principle involved in that proposition , viz .. — Teat tbe people in the broadest sense of tbe word , are the only legitimate Bource of power ; consequently , as long as the suffrage is confined to a portion only of the people , the electors are trustees acting for tke bene&t of the whole community , and that they ought in the exercise of their privilege , as far as compatible with their own conscientious convictions , to form a judgment in accordance "with tbe ascertained opintons of the majority . They , nevertheless cannot assent to the proposition , and for tbe following reasons : —
1 st . Because it would be difficult , if not impossible , to obtain such an attendance at a public meeting as mi ght be fairly said to represent the opinions of the whole body of the inhabitants . 2 nd . Because a general meeting of the inhabitants of vhe borough would contain many who have an interest altogether distinct from and adverse to the question to be submitted to their decision , and yet by voting on the question they might materially advance their own interest to the detriment of all other parties . 3 d . Because the present imperfect list of voters being tee ultimate body to which the appeal must be made , the real points to be ascertained , viz . which of tke Liberal candidates possessed the greatest amount of electoral strength , would not be discovered by the proposed meeting , and , however valuable and influential such an e x pression o f public opinion might be with many electors , it iB feared that its moral ibluence on the mass of the present voters would be imperceptible .
4 th . Because the plan proposed could not lead to a satisfactory adjustment of tbe difficulty , inasmuch as the public are divided into three great political parties or classes , and , therefore , at a general meeting of the three classes , that which was most numerous might be swamped by the union of tbe other two . Whether this result took place or not , seeing it is possible , there would remain ample greand of complaint and dissatisfact i on , which it is most desirable to avoid . otn . In conclusion , tbe committee for conducting Mr . BuEfieltTi election , cannot forbear from expressing their sincere regret , that anything like class interests should be allowed to exist between them and tbe part ;
they address , seeing they advocate many important political changes in common , and are all a-ming after the same object—good and just government . It must be apparent that none of these changes can be effected by estrangement , but much may be done by union . The only wise course at the present juncture and under tl > e present circumstances of tbe registration , is to combine in support of the man who will secure the greatest number of rotes ; then to watch the registration , and place as many as possible , on the list of voters ; then it may be practicable to procure tbe return of men , whose principles are more In accordance iritb the wishes of the great body of Reformers . Walter Exlev , ChalrmaD .
Thus ended the negotiation with the Whigs ; and it remained for the mee'ing to determine whether they would be ridden over rough-shod , or whether they would have a representative of their own . It waa admitted , even by Buafield's own friends , that he was not a competent person , that , in fact , he was a complete cypher , but they must vote for him—because he was . a W 4 ug , and they had nobodj else to vote for . So the fools will stultify themselves , and become » laughing-stock to the country , for lack of moral . courage to support a man whom they admit as superior in every respect , as advocating all that they tiiejnsehes advocate , but who kas the misfortune to be fifty years m advance of them in intelligence , in liberality , in talent , and in every requisite which is necessary . to qualify & man far becoming a representative .

The vote of than > - t « the Chairman having been carried , three oh * ere were proposed for O'Connor , which were heart ' j y given ; three fer the Charter ; three for Fros > ,, Williams , and Jones ; and three for the Northe * n Star , when the people separated at near ten o ' cloSjlc . Themeetu , / f was veiy orderly and attentive , and after gettu . g rid of a Whig Committee-man , who conspicuously figured with a pipe in his mouth , and the onlj person apparently intoxicated , and who frequervjy attempted to interrupt the proceedings , the buyjnese quietly progressed .
It \ b rather surprising that the Whig prints are "silent upon these important interviews , and carefully avoid letting out the fact of their going " cap in hand" to crave Chartist assistance who , Voo wide awake to be caught with chaff by the Corn Law repealers , whilst they were willing to liBten to any sound and fair proposition , very properly discarded the empty promises of their deceitful friends . Verily , the Whigs are in a fair way by their perverse obstinacy to convert the important horough of Bradford into a close Tory corporation , to be opened only by the enohantingkey of Chartism .

Duncombs presented thirteen petitions from Northampton , complaining of the constitution of the present House of Commons , and praying her Majesty to dissolve the Parliament , and command another to be elected by Universal Suffrage . Also a petition from Smedway , complaining of distress , and praying the House to address her Majesty , begging of her to call men of Radical principles to her Councils . The Hon . Member also presented a
petition from two working men at Norwich , complaining of certain proceedings at the last election tor that city , and praying the House to institute an inquiry into the mal-practices of whion the petititioners complained , and to give them such redress as it should think proper . Mr . Wallace moved for certarn returns relative to the Post-office ; and also gave notice of a motion relative to the appointment of a successor to the present Postmaster-General . Mr . Ainsworth moved for certain returns of the number of stamps used for newspapers .
CASE OF MB . M ' LEOD . Mr , Roebuck rose and said , that seeing the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs in his place , he would with the permission of the Hou 3 e proceed to ask the Noble Lord certain questions , of which he had given notice on the first night of the session , respecting the present relations between this country and America with respect to the detention of Mr . M'Leod . His object in putting these questions was as far as possible to promote peace , and to obtain that end he would suggest that before they came to any conclusion , Hon . Mf mbers should understand the question of our relations with the United States . The question , or rather questions he was about to nut were five in number and reabout to put were five in number and
related entirely to the detention of Mr . M'Leod . What he wanted to know of the Noble Lord was , whether there had been any change in the language of the United States Government since the accession of a new Government to power ? First , he wished to know whether her Majesty ' s Government by any formal declaration had assumed all the responsibility of the attack on the Caroline , and then he wanted to know whether the Government of the United States had aunvued that responsibility , and demanded reparation fur the outrage and injury thus done to tho United States , because it should be always recollected that if they demanded reparation for the injury done to the United States by thai attack , it did not lie with them to turn round
and say , that New York was tho only power that had jurisdiction in that matter . Next , he wished to ask whether her Majesty's Government had stated to the Government of the United States in the case of M'Leod that-he had acted under the commands of superior officers with the express sanction of her Majesty ? Fourthly , he wanted to ask whether her Majesty ' s Government had demanded of the Government of the United States whether afcer such declaration it was able , and at the same time willing , to guarantee the safety and liberation of Mr . M'Leod , nowithstanding any determination of the State of New York to go on with the proceedings now pending in the Courts of that State against that gentleman ; anri , lastly , he should ask if the Government of the United Siates
admitted the validity of such authority as a protection over M'Leod , and if having so admitted it , if tho Noble Lord tho Secretary for Foreign Affairs could ttate any circumstance which ju » t'fiud the continued detention of Mr . M'Leod by me authority of the State of New York . Lord Palmfrston said that he would be the last man in the House in any way to curtail whatever information he mif ; ht be able to give on any subject . However , he felt himself bound to remark that the proceedings on the part of the Hon . Member who had just down , were somewhat irregular . He was sure the House would cay , that if questions upon an emergency of great difficulty were preceded by a sort of narrative of transactions to
which they related , and interspersed with interrogations , it became very difficult for the person who was to answer those interrogations , to retrain from going at length into tho subject to which these questions referred , and thus , under the form of atking a q-iestion , a debate niighf be brought on . involving topics of great national importance . ( llear hear . ) It was quite true , that upon the first demand made by her Majesty ' s Government for the liberation of Mr . M'Leod , an answer was returned by the late Secretary of S : aie in America , which was by iio means satisfactory . But although the first reply was , as be thought , entirely wrong as a principle of
international law , yet he had the satisfaction to inform the Hon . Member and the House , thatfrom tho present Government of the United States a communication had been received , of a formal instruction given to the Attorney-General of the United States , which contained doctrines perfectly just and consistent with the law of nations , and perfectly in accordance with the principles upon which the British Government had demanded the release of Mr . M'Leod . He ( Lord Palmerston ) would uot enter now into any statement or speculation as to what was to come . He would net anticipate what step the Uuited State * would take to carry out those principles of international law which Federal Governments had
recognised . Petitions were presented against the returns for the town of Belfast and the borough of Lewes , The petitions were ordered to lie upon the table . The adjourned debate on the address was resumed by Lord Sandon , who contended that tbe late Parliament had not been dissolved upon the question 0 ' the import duties , but rather upon the want of confidence in the general policy of Minister . ' - . Air . M . Gibson , in supporting the address ,
deprecated the course which it was said the Hon . Gentlemen on the other side meant to pursue , for it would be showing a want of respect to the country to decline the discussion of questions of such vital importance to its best interests ; and it would be said that the Right Hon . Baronet ( Sir R . Peel ) had given instructions to his supporters not to speak upon them , lest the country should get an idea what it had to expect should the Conservatives accede to power . Mr . Borthwick supported the amendment .
Mr . W . S . O'Bui en defended the conduct of the Government , and declared his intention , as an Irish Member , anxious to declare tho gratitude of his country to the present Ministry for nearly the whole of their conduot towards Ireland , to oppose the amendment . Col . Sibthorp congratulated the House and the country that the period had at last arrived when the present Ministry were about to meet the reward of ail their vices and misdeeds , and to be drummed out of their seats to a tune which the forms of the house presented him from more forcibly alluding to . ( A laugh . ) Mr . Power advocated the gradual modification of restrictive duties , and supported the address .
Mr . E . Turner contended that the house could never hope for a more favourable opportunity of settling tho question of the Corn Laws favourably to the landed interests . He did not know that a fixed duty would give the people cheap bread , but he felt quite sure it would give them bread when they required it . Mr . Eficorr did not consider it right to enter on the consideration of questions of vital interest to the country , while he perceived a Ministry persevering in holding office in defiance of Parliament and the Constitution . The Hou . Gentleman asserted that Ministers had committed the Sovereign by a course of conduct for which no parallel could be found in the annals of the country for a period of two hundred years . He then expressed his confidence in Sir R . Peel , and said that he would feel proud to SHpport him should he ( the Kt . Hon . Baronet ) be called by his Sovereign to the administration of the affairs of the nation .
The Chanceixoh of the Exchequer Baid that an appeal had been made to the country on the questions of the Corn , Sugar , and Timber Duties , and yet , on the very iirst discussion of these questions , it was attempted to be said that they had no right io discuss them while the present Ministry remained ia office—a doctrine which , he must say , he then heard for the first time . He thought that Honourable Gentlemen on the other side of the bouse had a xudd to bring the question of" Who was to govern ? to tbe rery earliest possible decision ; but he thought it neither consistentivith wisdom norg / ood policy to pursue tha course of aiknee tbey bad adopted , and to leave iho country in the dark us to what were their inteafions or opinions upon those great questions which agitated tbe whole kingdom .

perfectly understood both in and out of doors . The Right Hon . Gentleman , in conclusion , said that the Ministry were not then , upon their trial , for they had been tried in the last Parliament and found guilty ; they subsequently appealed to a higher tribunal ; the constituency of the country , and the verdiot bad been confirmed . They were now therefore sitting to hear judgment passed npon them , and that judgment would compel them to give up the administration of the affairs of the country . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Wakley said that the present Government had not lost his confidence , for they bad never possessed it . ( A laugh . ) He bad supported them as the best he could find , and now that they were leavinghe feared the Radical party would have . no
, reason to congratulate themselves on the accession to power of the Right Hon . Baronet . The errors of the present Government were enormous . He prescribed for them in 1837 , and without waiting for a fee . ( Cheers . ) He prescribed only three small Dowders , bat they would not take them . ( Great liu ' ghter . ) And now he would like to know how they liked the 360 bitter pills they had got opposite to hem . ( Roars of laughter ) . The Right Hon . Baronet should receive as hearty support from him , if his measures were good , as if they emanated from the most confirmed RadicaL The Right Hon . Bart , had great capacity—he wa « a man of great ability . He knew more of his capacity than most men , for he
had made a . phrenological survey 01 hia head . He had great ability , and he had also the power do good to the country , and he sincerely hoped he would not suffer himself to be influenced to refrain from so doing . The Hon . Gentleman entreated the Right Hon . Baronet to take into his benevolent consideration the Poor Law Amendment Bill , which was the most objectionable law that had ever been enacted by Parliament—a law which was baaed in tyranny , and marked by cruelty in its operation . This was the law which destroyed the present Government , and it would destroy any future Government which might attempt to maintain it . ( Cheers . ) The debate was then adjourned until Friday .

XiEEDSi—Stealing Monet . —On Monday last , a young man , named Jonas Crowther ( who is already on bail for trial in a case of felony ) was brought np for examination on a charge of having stolen a quantity of copper coin from the person of Richard Bartle , a fruit and herring dialer . The prosecutor had been engaged till a late hour on Saturday night , and all the public-houses being closed he was looking for lodgings , when he met the prisoner , who offered to find him lodging at the "Yorkshire . " He went with him , and instead of going to the Yorkshire , he took him to a house of ill fame , where Bartle sat him down , and being fatigued he soon fell asleep . Crowther soon took advantage of this , and cut his pocket off , which contained some two or three shilling ; the prosecutor awoke and caught him in the act . He was committed for trial . Bartle had upwards of £ ' 20 in another pocket .
Mr . Duffy . —Mr . Hjck has received the following , since our last , for our sick friend . From a friend at Upper Wortley , per H . S . 2 s . Gd . Preaching in the Free Market . —On Wednesnesday week , a special meeting of the Leeds Improvement Commissioners was held at tho Court House , " to take into consideration what steps should betaken as to preaching in the Free Market . " The Commissioners present were , Darnton Lupton , Esq , Chairman , Mr . John W . Smith , Mr . Edward King . Mr . C . Cummins , Mr . W . Seller ? , Mr . Horatio Wood , Mr . J . Woodhead , Mr . Robert Bewley , Mr . Joseph Raper , and Mr . Joseph Wilkinson . It was proposed by Mr . Smith , and seconded by Mr . Cummins , " That it is the opinion of the Commissioners that no person should be refused permission to exhort in the Vicar ' s Croft on the Sabbath <* ay , so long as they kept the peace . " Some discussion arose iu a
conversational tone , the main giound taken by the supporters of the resolution being that of universal toleration . Mr . Sailers said that the Free Market committee were as desirous of universal toleration as any of their brethren could bo , but they had recommended that the market should be closed on Sundays at the request and for the sake of parties who resided in the vicinity of the market . The Chairman said he did uot think that any complaint had been made by any persons residing round the Croft ; whatever complaints might have been made to the Mayor , he believed none had reached the Commissioners . — Eventually the resolution was remodelled as follows : — " That the Commissioners will not interfere to prevent any preaching or exhorting in the Vicar ' s Croft on the Lord ' s day . " The Cnairman having put it to the vote , five hands were held up for it , and none against it , and the Chairman declared it carried unanimously . " The meeting then broke up .
Robberies . —During the night of Sunday las * , the house of Elizabeth Call , in Madras-street , was entered by thieves / who stole a quantity of wearing apparel . On Saturday night , the house of Mr . John Lightfoot , near Meadow-lane Bar , was broken , and some shoes and wearing apparel were stolen .

A ire and Calder Inn , Call-lane , when the members sat down to a sumptuous repast , served up in ex cellent style . l ' . G . M . Norton officiated as chairman , and P . G . M . Farrer occupied the vice-chair . The evening wasspentinthatfriendly and harmonious manner which _ so highly distinguishes the members of this order , indeed , it may be said that a better conducted or more gratifying annivereary has not previously taken place . The thanks of the company wero awarded to the worthy host and hostess , tor their excellent providance and arrangements , and for their attention to the comfort of their guests ,
Serious Roubery . —On Friday night last , Mr . John Northorp , of Stanuingley , had his pocket picked in Leeds , of about £ 116 , principally in provincial bank notes . He had , whilst in a state of intoxication , accompanied some girl into a passage , by whom he was robbed . Oil Saturday , a girl named Hanuah Bannister , who he swore was the guilty party , was examined before the magistrates , and remanded till Tuesday , when , it appearing she was not implicated she was set at liberty . The pulice are in possession of information as to the real offender , and on Tuesday afternoon , Scubbs and Mr . Northorp proceeded to Sheffield , to which place it is supposed the conveyancer and the cash have been transferred .
Leeds Water Works . —On Monday last , at a meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking * Mr , Peter Maun , was { elected to the office of chiet clerk , at a salary of £ 150 per annum ; and Mr .

Several silver cups are already provided as prizes to be contested for , and there will be more than the usual contests in the various sports . The spoua will commence this day ( Saturday ) , and be continued on Monday and Tuesday .
Furious Driving . —On Tuesday last , Isaac Johnson , a coal leader , residing on the Bank ,, was charged by a policeman with driving his cart at full gallop down Hunslet Lane , and with afterwards leaving his cart in the street while he was drinking in a publichouse . The offences were admitted , but it being the man's first offence , and it appearing that he bore an excellent character , the magistrates dismissed tbe case on Johnson paying the expenses . Tub Weatheb . — -During the last week , the weather in this neighbourhood was exceedingly fine and dry ; glorious for the growing crops . On Saturday morning , however , we were visited by an extraordinary storm of rain and thunder . The atmosphere became suddenly as dark as night , to such an extent , indeed , as to cause the gas to be lighted in any shops which were then open . On Sunday , a l so , there was some heavy rain in the afternoon , but since then , though wearing aa unsettled appearance , we have had no reason to complain .
Halton Feast Visitors . —On Wednesday evening last , a hackney coach , ( which might be drawn by a " Black Horse /') arrived at an inn in Mabgate . The coachman alighted and went into the house ; he enquired if a party which he had brought from Barwick , consisting of two males and two females , could be accommodated with lodgings for a short time , and was answered in the negative , as they had no spare beds . The coachman , however , insisted upon leaving the party , and , at last persuaded the landlord to go to the coach to hand them out ; he , thinking they might be some relatives that had come to spend a few days during the appro aching feasc , was very much surprised on opening the door of the coach to behold , instead of gentlemen and ladies , four very fine young pigs , whichhadbeen sent as a present by a friend . The welcome visitors were immediately taken in , and accommodated according to their important station .
