Tiie pri £ ? rer never left the house during the time , nearly two months , she was with me Two friends used to rish her , who were , she sard , her sister and nitee . No mar . cn . ma to eee h ? r , except the hair-dresser , Mitchd ] , who came at her rtques : to drcts her hair . I kst siw the things which are contained in the inventory in the drawer of the wnrtirobe . Tee things purchased for this yourg -woman -were not k ? pt in the s-jna drawer . There Trere a few of her things there , Euch a 3 hair-brushts anj bottles . She had access to that d .-sz-er c-cly -3-hrD I was in the room . Mr . Adolphcs—What , and did you lock up her hairbrnskes and bottles in the drawer ? Witness—I always lecked the drawer -when I left the room . I h 3 d some friends to call on me whilst the

      was in the hca ; e . I cannot say who tht-y -wtie . I remember two , Mr . Bmrodaile and Mr . Mniley . They vrere both aitcrneys . Th ^ y did cot come on my business , but oe thit cf ctbtr persons . They never saw the prisoner . Ht own friends cimo thre « or four or frse times a week t ~> visit her . When Mitchell bruueht her the first night , her nime was not mentioned , nor was there a wcrd saitl about her . The Court—T = il all that passed . Miss Mitche . 1 brought me tickets for her benefit , and I took some to circulate . SL& did not rt- ^ ain ten minutes at the mest I have cot been in the habi : of circulating tickets for the benefit of players . I have done so for Hiss i ! itchtll three or four times . Mr . Adolphus—How tame yen to t-8 intim&te with her ?

      Witness— She had been rn America , and she brought me a letter frcm 3 person who knew me , requesting that I would assist her if I could , and I did bo . This j " was about a year ago . j Mr . Adolph . ua—And . did she h&- ? e fo-ai benefits in i one year ? ' Witneas—Yes ; when the prisoner came to me I did j not ask he- where Eha came from , or who she was . j She introduced herself so Euddenly that I had not i time , ' Mr . Adolphus—Are we then to understznd that a straDgfeT , wiifcont introdmtion , "waa received into a ' nobleman ' s honse at nine or ten o'clock at" night , i and waa p = rmitttd to stop there nearly two months : "without being asked who she waa , or where ' she j came from ?

      Witness—I never nsk vhere people corns from . I did r . ot ask her all the time she stopped . I told her if j she liked to stop Ehe must not be running about the ' streets , and if she chose to go she must stay away . I \ never had any ether woman living with me in this way [ before . I have children , both in marriage and other- j ¦ wise . _ The woman by whom I have children , out of " ' marriage , lived with n . e seven years , and did jest as she ' liked . The pri = ener went away about nine o ' clock , on ; the 22 nd of July , and about ten o ' clock I missed the ] things . I sent the man-servant to Richmond-buildings , ' ¦ whtre prisoner said her sister lived , and no such person lived there . I then sent to ilr . Weoller , my solicitor . I cannot say how long he has been my solicitor . I

      have applied to him when I -wanted to send " . the police-office or the like . I am not in the habit of having business at the police-offices . Mr . Wooller advertised the things which were missing , and circulated hand-bill * . I never appeared at a polica-offi . ee except in this transaction . I remember the cise of an Italian boy . I did not go to the police-Qffice then , but I was fined . J have employed Mr . Woolltr to go for we to the police-office about the organs atd nuisances of that sort When I was fined abont the Italian boy , ilr . Lewis waa my solicitor , and attended for me . I used to dins at home eyery day whilst the girl at ehe b 3 r was there . I have seen her wear the ear-rings and also one of the miniatures . They were all kept in the same drawer , and all in their own cases .

      Mr . ADOLPHrs—Yon say that sfca tvas in want ot clothes when she came to yon , and that you supplied her . How did they corns to her ? Witness—I wrote by post to the dress-makers , at her request , and they came to her . jlr . Adolphus—Why , hare you not teld me before that yea went yourself to Mrs . Deacon's , in Regentstreet , and ordered the things ? " Witness—I did not . Mr . Cbrkson objected to foil mode of examination . Mr . Adolphus—Why the answer is in the depositions .

      Witness—Perhaps so ; but I never said it . Mitchell ¦ was an actress when I first knew ber . It never happened that iny other ycerg kdy besides this came in her company . As soon as I missed the things I inquired and sent to Mr . Wooler . I received two letters from ' prisoner a fortnight or three weeks after she left me . ' The post-iaark on one is JnJy 29 . This wss a week after she left . ms . It is the first letter . The second , letter is dated August 3 , and about that time I received it . I sent the letters to Mr . Wooler . Patterns of her \ dresses -were sent to my house in a basket , and she i fitted them on . 1 never gave Miss Mitchell any dresses . j Mr . Adolphus—Neither male nor female ? Lord Frankfort—She was going to act in a uniform - dress—she did not know what coat to -wear , and I j gave her a pattern—a little pattern—which she took to her tailors .

He ( Mr . Adolpbusjhoped that the gentlemen of the jury would give the case their impartial consideration .

      Whiie the Jury Were deliberating on thtir verdict , the prisoner appeared to be suffering from the most intense mental anguish , and wept bitterJy . The excitement in the Court also was extreme . After deliberating a short time , the Jary returned a vtrdict of —Not Guilty . The verdict was received with loud applause , which was instactiy checked by the officers of the Court The prisoner , who was held up to the bar to hear the verdict , dropptd , fainting back into a chair , the instint it was announced , and remained some time in a state of insensibility . On the verdict being annonnced to the crowd essembled cutaide the Sessions house they gave three most vociferous cheers , which were distinctly heard in Coart

      Mr . Bodkin said there were Beveral indictments against the pri «? Der , but as they wtre all supported by the same evidence as the one on which the prisoner had betn just acquitted , he should not offer ai ^ y evidene * on them . The prisoner , "who was suppoi ted to the bar , was then given iu charge to ths Jury on the other L . dictiuents , and no evidence being tendered in support of them , she was instantly acquitted . She was then assisted out of the dock . This case appears to have created the most intense excitement in the public mind . The gallery was even more crowded than it was on the occasion of Good ' s trial , and there wtre a great number of well-dressed females present .

      FATAL COMBAT BETWEEN GAMEKEEPERS AND POACHERS . ( From the Cheiler Chronicle of Friday week . ) We regret to hnve to record a most sanguinary combat which took place on Saturday evening last , between the keepers of Mr . John Tollemache , M . P , of Tilston Lodge , and Mr . Edwin Corbett , of Darnhail , and a party of poachers , and which resulted in the defeat of the former , one of whom , named Richard Chesters , died in & few hours afterwards , from the injuries he received in the conflict . The following ere the facts as near as we have been able to collect them : —

      It appeared , th * t from some information that bai been obtained by Robert Bostock . keeper to Mr . Corbett , he had reason to apprehend that a po&ching party would be out on the night in question . He called lhat morning upon Daniel Bebbington , who was engaged by Mr . Tollemnche to look aftrr the gaiie at Wetttnball , and told him that he expected there would . be some poachers in Wettenhall Wood that night ; and they arrived to meet at the Wettenhall side of the wood , at eleven o ' clock . Abont nine o ' clock on that evenirg , Bostoek called upon John Noden . wagjjoner to Mr . CorbfcU , and John Bebbin ^ ton , under-keeper to the same gemleman . They went to Wettefihall Wood to watch , and found Daniel Bebbington and Thomas Bebbzngfcun , his grandson , a young boy , who had heard the

      report of fire-arm « a few minute * previous , a :. d were awaiting the arrival of the remainder of tha keepers and their party . It was a moonlight night . They went some distance by the side of that part of the wood called Bogey's Kpe , and crossed a fit Id of John Boffey ' 8 , whici adjoined the Pipe , where tb . e >* aa . » four or five men , who , as soon as they saw ttu ^ ni # tie keepers ) , called on them to stand off . Three ^ the meD had guns , one of them was identifiad by Ba ^ toek as Joseph Baker , and one cf them had a fe ! udg ,. x > n . Those who had guns pointed them towards the keeper As the keepers advanced , the poachers retreatea slowly backwards , and Baker cried out " D their eyes , don't let ua go back , let us stand I" Daniel Bebbington said , " My ladt , we are five as well as ye , " his

      counting grandson as one . When they came to close quarters , John Bebbington seiaed hold of one of the men , and seiwd hia gun by the muale , and threw him down . In the struggle the gun went off , as the poacher had hold of the lock . This man was dressed in dark clothing . Daniel Bebblngton came up during the struggle , and threw hTmself npon the man , and John Bebbington left him in order to pursue the other poachers , and immediately another of the gang came pp , dressed in a short darkish coloured step , and struck Daniel Bebbington over the head and arms , and enabled the other man to escap e . Robert Bostock seized the man who had the bludgeon , and waa severely bft&ten by him , the second blow knocked him down and stunned him , and his gun was taken from him and discharged . When John Bebbington left Daniel Bebbirgton in charge of

      ihe poacher ho bad prnstr ; -t « il , he pursued John Baker , 1 who bad ran aloncBrdw uftlie wood for a snort distance , i and had during the pun-nit got . over the hedge int « the j wood ,-John Bebblngton beirg close to him , and , in fact , was with htm as he got over the hedge , Baker ' s euu being under him . They had a i-trugglc-, when Richard Chesbers , another of the keepers < and who afterwards died of the injuries he received ) , came up , aod the two secured Baker . John Btbbington said to his prisoner , " I know thee . " He called him Duke Biker , and he answered " Well , thoH fenows me , let me go . " In about five minutes , whilst still in the wood , the keepers heard some men who were coming up the Bide of the wood , calling out

      " Nerw , roy lads , howarayou coming on ? " and John Bebbksgton , who Bupposed . they were the remainder of the keepers , said ' We are here , ** They then --came up , there being three of them , and stood on the bedgetop , "when Bebbington saw that they were the companions of his prisoner Baker . H « said to Ghesters , ' ¦ Shoot the fixst man that comes-over . " Chesters then took up his ( Bebbiogton's ) gun , lying by his side , but held it in bis band , and did not present it The men ttren came over the hedge , when Bebbington let Baker ge . One of the poachers , the man in the slop , struck Bebbington on the head and stunned him , and he received several other blows which induced him to call 'upon Chesters to shoot The men then left Bebbiueton ¦ and attacked Chesttrs . What took place then Babbington is unable to say , as he was stunned by the blows he had received : and when he came to hiuiBelf

      he was in the bTook close by . Bostock , after the conflict he had been engaged in was ended , and he had recovered from the Wows he had received , went towards the place where Bebbington had had the struggle with Baker , but did not find him , as he had goue away ; but he saw the body of Chesters lying there . Hy saw ^ ur men just out of vhe wool , and one of them looking through the hedge , but he could not recounts * a \ y of them . He went across the wood towards Wettcnhail , and in the field next to * the ' wool hs met B ^ bbiugt ; n , who was at that time bleedin ? very much from a b ; ul cut across his head . They went to the public-house at Wettenhall for assistance , and having obtained it , they went for Chesters , whom they found lying on the ground , where Bsbbington had last seen him , before he was attacked by the poachers ; ai ; d they carried him to the Boot ani SMpptr public

      house-While the abovd conflicts were going on , John Noden had a struggle with the poacher armed with the bludgeon ; and managed to fight him fora considerable period with hia stick , and ultimately wrenched the bludgeon from him . Thty then got into the hedge and had u severe struggle , ¦ when the poacher got uppermost , and jumped with hia feet upon Noden ' s bnlly , aid thtn set off into the wood . Noilen was bo much injured aa not to be able to get up for some time ; a ; id ¦ wlien he did get up the men had all gone away . When Richard Chesters wp . s taken to the Boot and Slipptr public-house , he w * s in a stiite of insensibility ; ami thu uUendance of Mr . Job Harrison , of TarporUy , surgeon , - was obrnincd as soon as possible Ho got there about twelva o ' clcck . The moment he had

      examined the wounds , which were chiefly about the head , there being a severe fracture of the skull over the right eye , he considered the c . istj as hopeless . He , however , immediately bk-d him , and used such ofher rem ' ediai means as ths case required . He continued with him until five o ' clock ; his head -was much swollen , caused by the contusions and effusion of blood under the scalp ; there being also considerable hemorrhage from the right ear . He saw him a < ain at half-past nine o ' olc . ek , when he was much V 7 oise . He died about half-past twelve o ' clock on that day .

      Information of this event was given to Mr . F . M . Baker , the aciirespecial hith constable of the hundred cf Ediabury , and in consequence of inforuiatioii bo received from the keepers , he apprehended Charles Hitchen , at Over , who stated , that he had gone to bed at nine o ' c ock on the previous evening ; he searched his house , and found his coat , the lower part tieinfr wet and muddy . Hitchen said , the coat belonged to Duke Baker , alias Joe Baker . He told him , that he had proof that he had been poaching , when he said he > must twve been niibUiken for William Warburton , as tlu-. y were much like . Mr . Baker on Sunday nlgld apprehended William Warburton , at hi 3 house at WinWord , an < l found in his house a quantity of powder in a Lorn , and also some shot He afterwards apprehended a man named Samuel Cousins . He had not succeeded in apprehending Joe Biker , who has abicoridi / d . Another juan , named 2 v ! cLard Evans , was subicquently apprehended .

      On Wednesday an inqaest was held at the Boot and Slipper public-house , Wettenhall , before Mr . Henry Churton , corouer , on the body of Chesters . Mr . Chuttm had the assistance , In pursuing the inquiry , < f Mr . Tollemscbe , Mr . Corbett , and Mr . Franco , magistrates of the county . Mr . Dunvile , solicitor of Turporlty , attended oatbe part ot the prosecution . The evidence was ehu fly corroborative of the statement we have just narrated . The prisoners Charles Hitchen , William Warburtoij , Richard Evans , and Samuel Cousins , were present , and in custody . Bostock recognised Cbarlts Hiichen as the man who knocked him down Noden identified William Warbuiton ha

      the man with the bludgeon , with whom he was ongated in combat John Bebbinpton and Daniel Bebbington made a statement that Daniel Cousins was thv man with' whom the former was first engaged , and who afterwards overpowered the latter . Juseph Baktr ( not in custody ) was sworn to by John Babbinj ; ton and John Noden . And Joseph Bostock recognlBt . fi Richard Evans as see of the men he was engaged with ; he said be pulled Evans through the Ledge into the wood , and he had his face scratched . Mr . Baker produced a gun , which had been left on the scene of conflict by Duke Biker , and an oak bludgeon , a broken stock of a gun , and three caps , which had a ' i&o been found on the following morning .

      Mr . Job Harrison stated th : it he had made a post mortem examination of Cheaters ; there was a large effusion of felood between the scalp and the bone of thu skull ; there were three fractures ; the temporal bone very bad , and also the frontal and parietal bones . The injuries appiared to have been itflx-ted by a blunt instrument , and were quite sufficient to causo death . An important piece of evidence was given by a man named Paul Gilcbrist , wht » stated that on Saturday night last , about half-past seven o'clock , he met four men on Hey ' s-green , about three miles from Whittenball-wood . He recogn ad Joseph Baker , Samuel Cousins , William Warburton , and Richard Evans . The place where he met them is a foot-road leading from Win&ford to Darnhail , Wtttenhail , and other places . Three of the men wore caps , and the fourth had on a Jim-Crow hat The witness said the caps the prisoners had were similar to those produced at the inquest

      At the conclusion of the evidence , the prisoners were eantioned that any statement they might make would be used against tbem , when Charles Hitthen said , that on Saturday evening last he took tea with his father at Over , about four o ' clock , and then went to William B . a ^ s , in O ikhous > e-lane . In twenty minutes he went to his fathers again , and took home a measure of potatoes . He bud tha coat on at the time produced by Mr . Baker . He stayed in the honse until five o ' ciock , and went out for a short time . He went to his brother ' s at ten minutes to eight ; he and his brothe : then went to his own house , and the latter stayed with him until past nine o ' clock . He never went out of the house after . The coat produced was Joe Baker ' s . He was innocent of the job . Samuel Cousins said , that he had been at home all the evening , and that he was not with Joseph Baker that night at a 1 .

      William Warburton said , he was at home all day , and remained in until three o ' clock on Saturday , when he wei . t down to Winsford , and remained at the Market Hall till five o'clock , He came home to his baggin and then slept on the squab until eight . He did not go out again , but went to bed , after he had greased the children ' s shoe ? . Richard Evans said , he was innocent , and never went © ut of his house , except to the top of the hill , to smoke a pipe . After a most patient investigation and a lucid summing up by the Coroner , the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Ciiurles Hitchin , William Warburton , Samuel Cousins , Joseph Baker , and Richard EvanB : " and the four prisoners in custody were immediately committed on his warrant to Chester Cistle to take their trial at th « next Btsiz -s for that offeree ; and were conveyed there the next morning by Mr . Baker and his assistants .

      It is expected that , Baker will not be able long to evade the search making for him .

Hore be was supposed , by exposure or neglect of his healtL , to have unrlermmed his constitution , fle never fully recovered the robust state of health w ' oich he ' bad previously enjoyed . In 1803 , Mr . Channing was ordained over the congregation in Fe Jeral-itrett , Boston . The lines between tbe Orthodox and Unitarian denominations were not , at that df . y , so distinctly drawn as they are at the present time . In fact , the term Unitarian -was not In general use . Mr . Channing was considered a serious ainded young preacher , of Irreproachable morals , with a cultivated mind , refined taste , unique eloquence , and leaning to evangelical views in theology . The Rev .

      Dr . Mason , of this city , and other staunch divines of orthodox sentiments , in different parts of the country , need to preach in Mr . Cbanning'a pulpit . Circumstances occasioned a more marked division of theological men , not many years after , and Mr . Channing's preaching and theological writings assumed a more decided character . His celebrated sermon at Baltimore at the ordination of the Rov . Jared Sparks ( the historian ) made this division more complete . Mr . Channing's congregation increased—his people erected a more spacious edifice on thu site of the old cburch—and a colleague , the Rav , Mr . Gannett , was associated with him in the charge of the congregation .

      Dr . Channing a published sermons daring the war of 1812 broufcht him into general notice throughout the country . Subsequently hfs review of the writings of Milton , the character of Napoleon Bi > naparte , and other able performances , established his reputation uinong the eminent scholars and belles lettres writers of the country and the world . The taunt of the Edinburgh Review , at an early period , that Dr . Channing " touched lufty keys but with no very great force , " was n » t echoed by the numerous readers and admirers of his writings . Dr . Ctianning ' 8 publications on the subject . of American slavery have attracted no little attention throughout

      this country and Europe . He belonged to no antis'avery society—he even doubted the wisdom of these associations—but he was an uncompromising enemy to slavery , and thought , spoke , and wrote accordingly . One of the latest , if not the last public performance of Dr . Channing , was 011 the lstef August , the anniversary of emancipation in the British West Indies , when he delivered a'difeonrsein Berkshire county , Massachusetts A report of it was published , and attracted the admiration even of those who do not espouse the cause in behalf of which Dr . Channing directed so much labour and sympathy .

      Dr . Cfismung was a man of great independence of mind . He was never swayed by popular applause to do an act which his principles condemned . He paid no rasptct to men on account of their wealth or office . He honoured moral worth wherever he found it His sermons « n the paternal character of God , on the loveliness of the example of Jesus ChriBt , on the evidences of Christianity , and on political and moral integrity , are admirable . He spoke out , in intelligible terms , on conjugal infidelity and licentiousness . In the pulpit his gravity anil solemnity exceeded that of most preachers , and many who boast of more correct

      theological principles mii » ht have taken useful lessons from him , not only in the pulpit , but in all his social circles . In nil circumstances , hia feelings were under great self-command . On one occasion , at a dinner party , where a distinguished orthodox clergyman overstepped the boundaries of propriety , Dr . Channing remarked to the person near him , " A strange man that . " On another occasion , when the audience were greatly hfiVcted by the eloquence of a distinguished preacher , a professional brother , whose feelings were easily excited , expre&SK \ aatonihhment that Dr . Channin ? appeared to be so- little moved . '' My tears , " said . Dr . Channing , " are not so near my eyes as yours are . ' *

      Dr . Channii : g had great contempt for ephemeral popularity , for t-fflco hunting , for the airs often assumed by upstait aristocrats , for the tricks and comp iances of politicians . What was worthy of esteem and veneration in men , whether they were rich or poor , white er coloured , he reverenced , and could look down upon arrogance , folly , and the unprincipled , with pity and virtuous indignation . His elocution , as has been intimated was piculiaV—his eloquence unlike that of any other man . Hie preaching and his writings were corroborated by a life of high moral character .

      Dr . Channing was the poor man ' s friend and advocate . He f > r z d thy principles of our government , but was chit fly smxious that the people should be righteous , rat ! : ** than prosperous . He loved the &tuse of peace ard by bis tongue and pen did all he could to avert the cui ' . 'imities of war . In fine , however much men might dislike liis theological opinions , no one who knew him crnild fail to pr ; z * hia purity of character , bis irflexible integrity , his lofty purposes , his literary taste , his eloqut-jjCL ' . and his abie discussions . His death is a great loss , not only to his family , but to the city where he resided , to the country which g ; ive him birth , to the cause of letters and freedom throughout the world . i ¦ . . ¦ ¦ ¦

      THE VICTIM WILLIAM ELLIS

      . Stafford , Wednesday night , Yesterday the wife of this now banished patriot , cama to Stafford , and brought her fine looking children ( four In number ) , with her father , mother , and brother to take their last farewell of the one with whom they had 1 lived and loved together . " They applied to the lodge keeper at the gaol ( an unwholesome Dogberry ) , for permission to see him . But he refused them . They then sought an interview with the Governor , a man in whom the milk of human kindness flows freely . He granted their request Here followed an awful scenethey were all conducted to a passage that led to Mr . Ellis , across which is an iron grating . Mr . Ellis was then ushered into their presence , but not to shake the hand of the ene with whom he had sworn on the altar of his God to live and die , or to imprint a last kiss on the lips of those he loved so well , the offspring of his loins ! No ! Or to shake the hand of the

      father whose heart beat high for the destiny of his daughter , who is made a widow by classmade law , with a helpless family . No , no ; this would have been too humane an act for tyranny ! No 1 but his keen eyes sparkled through iron bara on the beaming countenances of his dear children , from whom he is rent asunder ! and on the haggard face ° f his wife , who wept bitterly , while their only little daughter , unconscious of their situation , exclaimed , " Why do you cry , mother ? " It was more than b « could bear . He turned' to . go away , when a voice again saluted him . He turned , and the tears were seen rolling in torrents down his manly cheek . Again , be turned to go , and again was he saluted by his children , who had to be lifted up in arms to see their unhappy father through the irons , exclaiming in fervour " Good bye , Father , God bless pou !"' ¦ To which he gave a hurried reply , in maddened frenzj , at being torn from them , and retired .

      PUTNEY COMMON , SURREY . A . crowded meeting was held at the Miller ' s Arms on Sunday evening , to consider the propriety of joining tbe " National Chatter Association . " Messrs . J . Millwood , Stallwood , and Dobson , attended as a deputation from Hammersmith . The room was graced by the presence of a number of respectable females . At half-paBt six o ' clock Mr . Churchill was unanimously called to the chair , who in a few brief and appropriate words called on Mr . William Watkins Wynne , whoEe zealous labours in the vineyard of Chartism had led to the present meeting .

      Mr . Wynne said , Nature had bestowed on man her choicest gifts , but unjust class-made laws had deprived us of their benefits ; he rejoiced exceedingly to eee such a numerous meeting ; be had been engaged sowing the good seed , and this evening , he trusted , it would bring forth fruit He would not take up their time at present , aa thore were some talented friends from Hammersmith present ; he would simply state that Mr . Stallwood would address them . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Stallwood did not expect to be called on thus early in the evening . Although not quite a stranger , yet it ia now some time since he before had the honour of addressing the mon and women of Putney . He , like Mr . Wynne , waa m « st happy to Bee such a number of the toil-worn sons and daughters of

      labour quietly assembled on the rude Heath of Putney , calmly listening to the various speakers , that they might afterwords judge for themselves;—¦ was not this in itself a refutation of the base calumnies that had heen from time to time uttered against them ? Hoping as he did before he left , to see a considerable number of members enrolled in the National Charter Association , he should feel it his duty to refute the objections urged againBt Chartism , and more especially the libellous assertions of a certain Judge in bis charges to the Special Commissions . Mr . Stallwood then ably went over the objections—answering them to the satisfaction of ail present : —he then explained the principles an i objects of Chartism , shewing them to have been advocated by the

      peasant and the peer , by men of genius and talent , in both ancient and modern times , and asked , was Chartism of that dangerous nature some would fain represent it ? Was it likely that tbe constituted authorities of various places would allow the use of chapels , town and county , halls ,:, for its advocacy ? In all such places had he addressed the people , even from the judgment seat , in favour' of onr great and giorious principles . Was it possible , if Chartists were the violent destroyers their oppressors represented them , that they would be chosen constables , commissioners , and councillors ? Was it possible thvy could

      be such inhuman brutes , and yet be chosen , as they weie in some instances , as guardians of the poor ? Tbere was the principles of truth and justice in Chartism'twas that , that , enabled its advocates to pass through the fire of persecution and prosecution , and come out purer than ever—( cheers . ) Witness the prosecutions of former days , and those of the present time ; yet were their champions—although on ball to meet charges of crimes by them never committed —( hear , hear )—still at their poata , cheering on their fellow men to perseverance and victory . Mr . Stallwood resumed his seat amid loud applause . Mr . Holloway then moved the following resolution : —

      " Thatthis meeting feel most acutely the miseries Inflicted by class legislation , and believe the only meats of removing them is by universal representation , as embraced in tbe principles contained in the People ' s Charter . ' We therefore resolve to form ourselves into a locality of the National Charter Association , to

      obtain th « same by all legally available means in our power . " Wbichwas sece > ded by Mr . W . W . Wy-ne , supported by Mr . H Dobson . Mr ; W . W . Wynne said , before , the resolution waa put he would like to say a few words , having been the xhief instrument in the resuscitation of Chartism in that district When I witness the misery and wretchedness th it surround me—when I see those that produce all , enjoy none—I am naturally led to Inquire—Who has it?—and I find it in the possession of the men who are now trying to delude you with the cry ef a big loaf—( hear , hear )—who have just been found in jury boxes , to find your order guilty of crimes committed by themselves . Mr . W . then most forcibly replied to the sophisms of Lord Abini ? er—and , isaid Mr . W ., you may continue to produce all—and when you can no longer toil , be sent to a union bastile—or , if in numbers you

      • wk for bread , be sent to a model prison in Copenhagenfields , to br deprived of your reason . You have no chance of bettering your condition , nor ever would , until you have obtained the Chatter . It was said frequent elections would cause confusion—it waa the present system that caused confusion : might nut parsons , Lords , and Dakes be seen dragging the independent electors up te the poll in a worse than beastly state of intoxication ? He implored them not to be led away from their grand obj ct by any party , however plausible . What confidence could they have in tbe other classes after the severe sentence passed en , as he believed , that innocent man , good father , good huaband , good neighbour , gcod citizen , poor Ellis . ( Sensation . ) He hoped they woul ** . adhere to their principles , until the Charter became the law of the land . Mr . W . sat down londly applauded .

      Mr . Millwood also supported the resolution , and re > Iatert some humourous anecdotes , that moved the risible faculties of the meeting . The resolution was then put frem the chair , and carried unanimously . , Mr . Churchill was then elected Sub-Secretary , and Mr . Price , tha worthy host , Sab-Treasurer , pro tern . . ; Seventeen persons took out their cards as members of tbe National Charter Association . A vote of thanks was then given to the deputation from Hammersmith , to which Mr . Stallwood responded . A vote of thanks was also passed to the Chairman ; when this " set of people called Chartists" quietly dispersed , to meet again on Sunday evening next , having first plentifully supplied themselves with Chartist tracts , circulars , Northern and Evening Stars , to read in the interim .

His grandfather retained the powers of his mind to extreme old age , being accustomed to read one or more chapters every morning ii . the Greek testament —a practice which he continued until he was upwards of ninety years of age .

      MELANCHOLY EVENT . —THREE LIVES LOST . Sunday morning a most melancholy accident occurred in the river Ouse at Turu Head , near Selby , by which three lives were lost—a mother in the bloom of life , and her two children—aud three others were most providentially pveswrved . We have received the following particul ; im of this sad accident . Mr . David Broudhtad , captain of the vessel culled the Hopewall , btloDgine to Mrs Jolly , of this city , had been to the Silkstone Pit . " and loaded the vessel wittl coal . There were on board Cap'nin Broadhead , his brother , bis wife , aqed 22 , and his three childrtn , viz , William , four years of age , George , three years old , and Henry , nearly three months . On Sumluy morning , at one o'clock , tho vessel reached Turn Head . in returning to

      York , where it '<* & $ nud « ( - . mt , and in a few minutes afterward a the captain and his family retired to rest in the cabin , and his brother in the forecastle . Previously to this the pumps had been tried , and aa no water could be obtained the vessel was judged to be all ru 5 l . 1 t and safe . In a fow hours afterwards , however , tne captain was suddenly awoke , and jumping up saw the water running into tbe hatchway , the vessel , it teems , having sprung a leak , and was in a eiuking state . His first impression was to warn bis wife of the impending danger , but he was bo paraljzad that he was unable to utter a single word . He seized bold of her , and she got out of bed , all which was tho work of a moment . Two of the eldest ) children , viz ., William and George , were lji'ig on the floor , and taking them both by the arms he attempted to make bis escape , but tbe latter child unfortunately fell back into the cabin .

      Tbe water was now rushing in with such impetuosity that the captain found it impossible to eetout , and most probably had not his brother , wlio had been awoko and bail got out of the forecastle , come to his assistance he would have been drowned . As it was he was obliged U wait till the cabin filled before he could get out . He then made an attempt te&ave his wife , but found it was impossible to do so , and , after uttering an exclamation , " Oh , David ! " she sunk in the cabin to rise no more alive , all these distressing circumstances occurring in Was time than has bten token up in the narration of them . The captain , hia brother , and the child , then got iato the boat , the two former having nothing on but their shirts , and the latter his night clothes ; they were

      all in a pitiable condition , being dtipping wet from head to foot , and suffering extremely from the cold . Captain Broad head und the child were then put ashore , and the brother remained to see if either of the bodies floated out of the cabin . The captain then proceeded . to a farmhouse about half a mile of . When he arrived there , be -was so benumbed with the wet and cold that he & < uld scarcely walk , and under such circumstances one would have thought that any one possessing the common feelings of bnmaniry would have extended to him that sympathy and ready assistance which his case seemed to demand . Far different , however , according to our informant ' s statement was the case . Oa arriving a « the bouse , Mr . Broadhead knocked at the door , and shouted as loud a 3 he could to make himself heard .

      In a few minutes the occupier asked him wbat he wanted , when the captain britfly narrated to him the melancholy accident that had taken place , and asked him fur shelter . About twenty minutes elapsed before the door was opened , and on getting into the bouse be f dund that it was then ha \ f-past five o ' clock . He asked for the loan of some old clothes to cover their nakedness , but he was told they had none . At length tbe m : in-servant fetched him port of an old shirt , which he put on , and pfter pressing hard , obtained some other articles of cMbing . It was at least an hour before tbe brother could get anything to put on . After he had put the child into the bud which tho man-servant had left , Mr . Broadhuad went baek to the vessel , and succeeded in taking out of the cabin his wife and one of the children ; the other had not been found up to Tuesday evening .

      Oa Sunday afternoon , an inqae&t was held at the Boot public-houBe . Barlby , on view of the bodies , by Mr . M . Poaison , the coroner of Selby , and . after hearing the evidence , the jury returned a verdict of 'Accidental death" in each case . The bodies were removed to York on Sunday evening , and were interred on Tuesday afternoon in the church-yaid of Saint Mary , Castlegate . We may remark , in conclusion , aa a singular fact , that three persons in the family of the deceased woman were born , died , and were buried on the same days . — York Herald .
