Morewn ) as ever catered for the sonB of toil- in days of yore . This truly unique and ilegantly furnisbed house is located on the Pontefract road , some four miles from this town . It commands an extensive view of the country adjacent , which 13 jichly adorned with all that is useful and beautiful in Nature ' s power to bestow—emitting , as it were , from its luxuriant bed , in one direction , the timehonoured turret of Roth well church , and , in another ; that of the spire of © niton church , which never fails to excite , on account of its completeness of architectural design , stained glass windows , &a * the silent
admiration of all who have the taste to visit it . It was in this really delightful suburban retreat thai ihe members of as gigantic a machine ( the Press ) as was ever wielded in this or any other country , chosei to regale themselves—and they were not disappointed ; for the viands were good , choicely selected , and abundant . After the cloth was removed the usual toasts were drank and responded to frith a warmth of feeling that did credit alike to head and hem . In the conrse of the evening , which was , Tery besnlfnl , the company , with one accord , lent themselves to a variety of pastimes , the sight of which was calculated to "bring back the torpid breast of age to long-forgotten rapture . " Thns pro--ceeded the Aversions of ^ this happy meeting till night began to draw her murky mantle over the goodly scene , when it broke up , each member highly pleased with the cast . —Correspondent . )

She was arraigned at the Leecs borough sessions , when , in crass-examining the prosecutor , - Mr WiJkins , elicited that h > s real name was James William Burn ; and as the indictment only described Mm as Jaroes Barn , it could nor be sustained , bm fell to the gronnd ; another indictment in the man ' s proper name being ordered to be preferred . The Grand Jury , not having been discharged , this was done , and the prisoner was again arraigned , and under the advice of her counsel pnt in a special plea of " anlrefois acquit . " This led to an argument ; Mr . Wiltin * and Mr , Pashley contending that ad the Jury bad fbnnd the prisoner not guilty of
Stealing lhe property named in the indictment , as belonging 10 James Burn , she could not be again tried again for stealing the same property belonging to Jamvs William Burn . The prosecutor again underwent a long asd severe examination , and at length it was pnt to the Jury by ths learned Deputy Recorder , Robert Hall , Esq ., whether the prosecutor was known as James Burn , or as James Wm . Burn . The Jury found that he was best known as James Burn , that being the name in which he transacted all his business , and the woman was therefore aequiv-jed .

REPEAL ASSOCIATION , Tuesday , Joxy 11 . The usual weekly meeting of Ciis body was held to-day . The chair was taktn by Mr . Magennis . Mr . O'CoxjiEli , after commenting on the conduct of Lord Lorton , said it was idle and absurd to talk of agitation leading to rebellion and bloodshed . No , it was . the conduct of such iandlords as Lord Lorton that was likely to produce those calamities Bnt the Repeal was preparing a gag for landlords of ibat kind . The Irish were a most enduring people , or such a system could never have been carried n .
Several members were admitted , among "whom were Sir Valentine Blacke , M . P . ; Mr . Darcy , an extensive brewer ; and John Power , Esq ., of GaTtea , formerly M . P . for Waterford . The mm of £ 77 was handed in from Waterford ; also , £ 31 17 s . from Dsntill in ibe same connty . Mx . O'Cosseix said , that havisg banded in all the money which had been received from Waterford , he Tronld uowg ve a report of hia late misson . The mceiim si WaU-rJbrd could not have been less than from S u > ODD to 350 , uU 0 persons . There were no less tiuui

59 private carriages , of four horses each , 40 with two horses , and 109 jaunting cars and gigs ; 320 cars of various descriptions , carrying from six to eight persons each . Thus they had not only the people at that meeting , but they had the high gentry of the connty attending . He next alluded to tne declarations of Sir J . Gr&bam , that tho Repeal meetings were " rebellious multitudes , " and ths glory of England would bo destroyed by a Repeal ' of the Union . He would not say that Sir James Graham lied ; but lie would say ha asssened that which was false , as he did when he charged the Catholio clergy and laity with , perjury —( cheers ) . Peel and Wellington were more like rebels than the people of Ireland , because the coarse they were taking was calculated to lead to rebellion . Ko , the Irish , had not only kept the peace , but they were resolved not to commit tho slightest breach of any law 5 and while they were
doing thie . taey were threatened by rebellious villains with civil war . Yes , he Twrald call any man a rebellious villain who incited to civil war—( oheers ) . Sir James Graham spoke of the " glory of England . " So would he ( Mr . OConnell ) ; and that glory was well known on the continent . He then alluded to the bombardment of Copenhagen , which he said was done at a time of peace with that country , and he dwelt upon the injustice of that attack- He next quoted the case of Geaoa , of Poland , of the Titas Dates plot , of the conduct of Cromwell , and , finally , the union ; from all of which he contended that England could not boast of her " glory" without being prepared with counter-statements . He concluded by observing that the Morning Chronicle had said tha : the Repeal agitation was' burning out , but he could assure that paper that it was only at the commencement , and they would persevere until they obtained their object—( cheers ) .
Mr . T . Steels , in commenting upon a letter he received from America , observed that it was perfectly clear that a defensive , not an offensive treaty —and he solemnly made that distinction—that a defensive treaty as virtually existed at present between Ireland and America , as if it were signed by the American ambassador ; Mr . O'Consexl said he ; stood upon what he had said a few days ago respecting America . There was no treaty , and would be none between Ireland and America . Mr . Sxbble— Hear , near ! I said " virtually . "
BXmA 0 KDlXAB . Y NOTICE OF MOTION , Mr . O'Cojsjrzii gave . notice for the next day of meeting , that in consequence of the dismissal of the Repeal magistrates by the Government , he would move , in pursuance of the practice followed in the Catholic Association , * That they would adopt measures for the appointment in each district of arbitrators , instead of going , as heretofore , to hostile petty sessions courts , and paying fees to the clerks of bigoted magistrates , and that the Association would haye legal instruments prepared authorising the persons to aot as arbitrators . "—( loud and prolonged cheers ) . ' : The week ' s rent was announced to be £ 1 , 690 , 5 s . 9 d . —( loud cheers ) . Tbe meeting adjourned .

TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Fbiepds amd Fellow Slaves , —You all know as well as I do , that great objects have never yet been achieved without great personal sacrifice . You may reply that yon have alreadysufiered much . I admit it . I feel deeply for your sufferings . I admire your perseverance and indomitable spirit- Few men amongst you felt more poignantly than I did for the bloody and cruel fate of the martyred Clayton and Holberry ; for th 3 unlawful and unjust expatriation of Frost , Williams , and Jones . I hope , therefore , that you will not deem it , presumption in one who has oeen so seldom amongst you , and so humble an individual as 1 am , to thus address so vast , so enlightened and so powerful a body of men as the Chartists of Great Britain . But to whatever motive you attribute it , I cannot resist the impulse of doing my
utmost to promote , by all : the means in my power , the groat object 0 / all onr : hope—the People ' s Charter . I shall speak to youfyeely . I shall test your souh , and if you be really the men I have ever taken you to be , you will carry into immediate effect the propositions which I shall now submit to you . If you wish to be revenged of your tyrant taskmasters—the porfidious Whigs and truculent Tories —if you desire to avenge the murder * of Clayton and Holberry , and the expatriation of Frost , Williamf , Jones , and Ellis , you will take the advice which I now , in the sincerity of my soul , tender to you It is ia your power ti do it ! and every man of you will be better , in every respect , by taking it , adopting it , and persevering in it , than you would be should yon reject it .
Well , then , there are 3 , 500 , 000 of you , or more , who , on the average , expend on useless , pernicious luxuries —tobacco and malt drink , at the very least sixpence a week . If you have tha spirit of men jn you ; if yon are true Chartists , you will give up the use of those useless articles . Give them up at once and for ever ! Put by a similar sum of money weekly to that which yon have been in the habit of spending upon those siTticle 3 . Keep it safe and dry , IN HARD CASH , Fon twelve months ; by doiDg which you will all be riches and better than you aro now . Besides , as a body , you will have accumulated the enormous sum of £ 4 . 534 , 333 , in the short term of ore year !!! Begin at once . Keep the moucy . And with the blissingof God I will come over to sec you in September , 1844 , and lend my aid to show you how to carry the People ' s Charter , which you can do by simply taking care of your owra money . Mind that !
Remember that for every thirteen pence you lay ont on tobacco , you get but one penny worth of the stinking weed ! The remaining twelve pence goes , in the shape of duty , into the coffer- of your enemies Permit me to say another word in conclusion . The rood , ibe pions , tbe amiable , and kind-hearted Father Mathew , an Irish ; Catholic Prieet , is now -amongst you . Go to him and take the ' Teetotal pledge . " Never mind his being a priest . Think of nothing but how to promote your own happiness , overthrow your enemies , and get tho Charter made the law ofthe land .
I am , truly and sincerely yours , Pathick O'Higgins No . 14 , North Anne-street , Dublin , July 11 th , 1843 .

Mr . Justice Cresswell then delivered th . 4 charge to ibe Grand Jury . ! He said , Gentlemen of the Grand Jury . I have to regret that , having now for the first time the honour of addressing a Grand Jury of this county , I cannot congratulate you on the state of the calendar with which we have to deal , or the state of the county in general , with reference to crime . The calendar into which which we are called upon to inquire , contains no less than 131 criminals : and by the returns published by order of her Majesty ' s Secretary of State ; for tho Home Department , of the number of criminal offenders committed , it appears that during the last sevon years , the commitments within the counties of York , Lancaster , Chester , Lincoln , and Surrey , have doubled ; thus exhibiting
within that short space of time , an increase of commitments that is undoubtedly very discouraging . I would fain hope that this is in part to be attributed to the establishment of a more vigilant system of police ; but still Ioannot suppose that the whole is to be accounted for in that way , and we must como to the conclusion that there has been a great and rapid increase of crime during thai short period . There is ona short observation in tho report , with reference to i ^ he different classes into which the prisoners have been divided , as to the amount of instruction they have received , to which I wish to call your attention . The returns as to the degree of instruction possessed by persons committed a 3 criminals during tbe past year , show a
continuance of the same results as in the preceding y * ar , namely , a decrease in the number of totally uninstruoted criminals , and an increase in the number of those who have received tho smallest amount of instruction . At tho same time there was a gradual decrease' in the number of those who were able to read and write well , so that the . returns may be considered as evidencing the general spread of instruction , and its * favourable results with regard to those who had to any considerable extent received the benefits of education . I am addressing gentlemen of Station and intelligence connected with the county , and who are no doubt interested by
inclination as well as by ] duty , to promote the instruction and morality of the people ; and I shall , therefore , offer no further observations on this subject . But I beg to press on your consideration tlio statistical account given in this parliamentary report , of the state of toe country , with respect to crime , and to impress upon you the duty of exerting yourselves to produce a better return for the future . With respect to the calendar , it is not necessary for me to trouble you with many observations : for , though it contains a long list of criminals , and though many of the offences imputed to the prisoners wear a serious aspect , yet thoy are generally simple in their character , and tbe law with respect to them is perfectly
clear . [ His Lordship then referred to some of the cases iii ihe Calendar , commentinR on their seVeral points ; but as they were nothing out of the ordinary course , it . is not worth while to occupy space with the remainder of his observations . At the close the Grand Jury retired to their room , and soon after appeared in Court with a batch of True Bills . ] The following cases were then proceeded with : — Wm . Marsden , Ij 7 , pleaded guilty to having burglariously entered tho dwelling-house of Jonathan Tutin , at Sheffield ,, on the 81 st of March last , and stolen therefrom thirty-one farthings , a pair of gloves , and a silk bag . —Sentence deferred . Matthew Fetosler , 30 , was convicted of having burglariously broken into the dwelling-house of John jSingleton , of Givendale , near Pocklington , and stolen therefrpm various property . He was sentenced to four months' imprisonment , with hard labour .
CUTTING AND MAIMING AT PATEtEY BRIDGE . John Sxnkler , 32 , was charged with cutting and maiming Thomas Dunsdaie , with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm . Mr . BtANhUABD knd Mr . Pulleine were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr . Deabsley defended the
p . The circumstances were these : —In the month of September , 1831 , Mr . Samuel Winn , then a police officer at Ripon , had a warrant entrusted to him for the apprehension of the prisoner ' s brother , hlislia Sinkler . To assist him in the execution of that warrant , ! he took with him Thomas Sweeting , Tdomas Dundale , and Joseph Binns . Tin party proceeded to > the house of a person named Mortf , who resided near Palely Bridge , and who was father-in-law to Eliaha Sinkler ; here they found him and took him into custody . They were conveying him to Ripon , when the prisoner ) and a man named Lon ^ tnorne came up and threatened them , if the prisoner waB not liberated , to " rip them up . " Dinsdale had theri the prisoner in custody , and during a severe struggle which ensued he was severely wounded with a knife at the back of his
hand and in various parts of his body . Elisha Sinklor was then liberated , and got away ; but being afterwards recaptured , he was tried at the assizes ia 18 B 1 , and rec-ived sentence of death , which was afterwards commuted to transportation for hie . Our readers will remember , that , having been found again fat large in this country , he was again tried at tho last spring aseizus for this countyf or that offence , and was again sentenced to be transported for life . His brother , the present : prisoner , has been iu . the neighbourhood of ; Pateley Bridge ever since that period , but , oniaccount of his desperate character , he has hitherto escaped punishment . Ho was taken at unawares Bhortly after the last assizes . All these facts were proved in the course of a long trial , and af-. era lengthy I address from Mr . Deaisley , on the prisoner ' s behalf , he was found Guilty by the Jury . —Sentence was deferred .

ROCHDALE . —On Saturday last , a small chapel , situated on Castletown Moor , about two miles from Rochdale , belonging fo the Old Methodists ,- was struck by lightning . All the windows were shattered to pieces ; and some of them blown entirely out . The floors and seats were torn up ; great part of tho ceiling also fell in ; and altogether the place was a complete wreck . Fortunately , no house was joined to it ; not was any person within the chapel at tho time the accident took place . Tnis was much to be wondered at ; for platforms were being erected , . and other preparations going forward , to provide accommodation for the celebration of the anniversary , whioh was to have taken place the very next day . A large stove stood in the centre of the building , with cast ir&n pipes , whioh were carried right up through the centre of the roof . It is supposed that the pipe attracted the lightning .
