HEWG&STXiE . —On Wednesday and Thursday last , the walls of Newcastle were plentifully placarded with the following challenge to the League : — "Eydd versus Bright , challenge to the League . —A public meeting of the inhabitants of Newcastle , Gate&e&d , and Ineir -ndnifcy , will ; be held in the large and commodious room of ihe Three Toes , ( Mr . Martin Jade ' s ) , Manor Chare , opposite the- Hoyal Arcade , on the evening of Thursday the 13 th instant , at eight o'clock ; on which occasion , Mr . Samuel Kydd will review -the speech of Mr . Bright , delivered in the lecture room on the evening of the 10 th , and redeem his pledge by proving the speech of that gentleman to be a mass of political mis-statemBnte , inimical to the best interests oftho
working classes . S . K . will discuss the subject whhsny gentleman in England ; and undertake to prove that a Repeal of the Corn Lawsunder present circumstances , would be a curse and not -a blessing to the oppressed sons of toil . " As it was rumoured that Messrs . Auckland and Ealvie were within an hour's ride of Newcastle , and as Mr . Bright had not sufficient moral courage to meet Mr . Etdd to discuss the subject upon equal terms , the most prominent advocates of the League in Newcastle and Gate-head had copies of ihe hill sent to them , in sufficient time to enable them to bring their champions forward , if they dared , to submit their nostrums to pnblic investigation . But it was oft no avail . Mr . Kydd commenced by reviewing Mr . Bright ' s lecture as it appeared in the Tyne Mercury ¦ , and showed the whole to be a mass of flimsy sophistry intended to delude , and not to benefit
the working classes ; that his statements were based on false data ; and that a Bepeal of the Corn Laws , without a complete renovation of Represent corrupt system , would bd a curse to the oppressed sons of toiL The Chairman , { Mr . Sinclair ) , pledged himself that he would not allow any one of the League , who , differing from Mr . Eidd in opinion , might offer himself to their attention , to be pn t down by brute force , as the League had attempted to do witb such as differed from Mr . Briglft's opmiona in the lecture room . Having sufficient faith in the principles which'be advocated , he was not afraid to bare them investigated ; and would procure » patient hearing for any ono who chose to take the opposite side . A Mr . Cumberbeach asked Mr , 'K . some questions , and was satisfied with the answers given . A vote of thanks having been tendered to Mr Eydd , the meeting was dissolved , highly gratified with the proceedings of the
evening . DURHAM . —City Rkpbbsektatjos . —A committee of the House of Commons having unseated our late member , Yisconnt Dnngannon , an election win therefore speedily take place . There are ] at present two candidates in the field , Mr . Purvis , a Chancery barrister , in the Conservative interest , and Mr , John Bright , of Anti-Corn Law notoriety . Mr . Pnrris addressed the electors on Monday evening last , from the window of Mr- George C&ldcleugh , spirit merchant ; when Mr . Acland , an itinerant spouterof Free Trade hnmbng , appeared at an
opposite window , for the purpose of addressing them on behalf of "friend' * Bright . It was , however , ** no go . " The feeling was so decidedly against him that he could not obtain a hearing . —Correspondent —JTerhaps , as the j £ 50 , 000 is done , friend" Bright has not the means to buy the sweet voices of the corrupt ! la it because Mr . Purvis has the cash , that he gets the feeling ? When will the people learn tc give countenance to neither of the representatives offaction ? Did . they know their doty , tbjey would , in this case , send both Purvis and Bright to the right about , saying , as the farmer said respecting tiie sheep : u All tarred wife the same brush" 11 i
SHEFFIELD . —State of ths Town . —Worse and worse is the order of the day in ShtffieJd . The tradesmen of all branches are gradually sinking into a state of miserable pauperism . Partial combinations and sectional strikes among the workmen seem rather to accelerate , than retard , the ruin which ] is fast overtaking all classes . The "paupers , " as they are insolently called , are daily exposed to rales and regulations more and moreopprassiveand vexations . Within the house the small allowance of tobacco and small beer hitherto allowed to the aged inmates has been stopped by order of the Gaardisss . f A large Union Bistile is to be erected in Sheffield . at the cost of many thousands of pounds to the
impoverished rate-payers . In this state of things an apathy and indifference foreboding a gloomy future pervades the ranks of all political parties . The Corn Law Repealers appear to be defunct . The Sturgeites are aU bnt broken up , having utterly failed in their vain-glorious movement . Other political sections seem to have descended to the *• tomb of all the Capalete . " The < temocrats of Figtree-lane still keep the beacon-fire of liberty blazing ; bnt their energies are dormant for the want ; of an object , an aim , in the pursuit of which they could and would exert themselves . Happily a spixit cf fraternity and broiherhood animates each and all ot onr little band , qualifying us to march onwards whenever the line of operations shall be laid down ior us by cur leaders . Organisation use must have ! and to have that , ws trust have the Conference . '

In the afreruoon . she lecturer entered into a minute iavestlgaxion of the free trade humbug , and in a masterly manner , exposed the fallacies brought forward by its advocates . The evening ' s lecture was upon the capability of the various classes in society to enjoy tne political franchise . He illustrated his subject by a number of anecdotes which told well upon his axdience , and in which the aristocracy and the middle classes came in for a very severe castigation . Mr . Gammage then made a powerful appeal upon the necessity of all good men uniting lor the purpose of making the Charier a law . He sat , down amid die plandits of the assembly . i

REPEAL ASSOCIATION , Tcesdat , Jolt 11 . The usnal weekly meeting of Ens body was held to-day . The chair was taken by Mr . Magennis . Mr . O'Cosmkll , after commenting on the coadnot of Lord Lorton , said it was idle and absurd to tali : of agitation leading to rebellion and bloo ^ hed . No , it "was the conduct oflsuch landlords as ^ ord Lorton that was likely to produce those calamities , But the Repeal was preparing a gag for Jsndlordc of that kind . The Irish were a most enduring people , or such a system oonld never have been carried n . Several members were admitted , among whom were Sir Valentine Blacke , M . P . ; Mr . Daroy , an extensive brewer ; and John Power , Esq ., of Gartea . formerly * MJ ? . for Wat ^ rford . The snm of £ 77 was handed in from W&terford ; also £ 31 17 s . from Dunhill in the same oounty .
Mr . O'Connkll said , that having handed in all the money which had been ; received from Waterford , he would now givea report of his late mission . The meeting at Waterford could not have been loss than from 3 D 0 , Od 0 to 350 , 000 persons . There were no less than 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 county attending . He next alluded to the declarations of Sir J . Graham , that the Repeal meetings were " rebellious multitudes , " and the glory of England would be destroyed by a Repeal of the union . He would not say that Sir James Graham lied ; but he would say
ha assserted 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 Ireiand , becaus « the course they were taking was calculated to lead to rebellion . No , the Irish had not only kept the peace , but they were resolved not to commit the slightest breach of any law ; and while they were doing this , they were threatened by rebellious villains with civil war . Yes , he would call any man a rebellious yiilain who incited to civil war —( cheers ) . Sir James Graham spoke of the " glory of England . " So wonld he ( Mr . O-Cbnnell ) ; and that cIotv
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 onoted the case of Geooa , of Poland , of the TitaS O&tes plot , of the conduct of < 2 romwell , 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 Chrenicle had said that 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 ^ Cokheu , said he stood upon what hd bad Said a few days ago respecting America . There was no treaty , and would be none between Ireland and America . Mr . SiBKLB—Hear , hear 1 I said virtually . "
EXTRAORDINARY NOTICE OF MOTION . Mr . O'Comwxli . 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 practica 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 tbe Association would have legal instruments prepared authorising the persons to act as arbitrators . "—( loud and prolonged cheers ) . The week ' s rent was announced to be £ 1 , 690 , 5 a . 9 d . —( loud cheers ) . The meeting adjourned .

" BEBBECOA" IN WALES . Cabditf , Jolt 11 . Bring now upon the spot , I find that the whole of Glamorganshire is equally with Carmarthenshire in a feverish and excited state , and that there is a general and growing feeling of dissatisfaction and discontent . Tbe people in the hill districts here , it should , however , be remembered , are of totally different habits and character from those of Cardigan , Carmarthen , and Pembrokeshire . There they are a simple agricultural people , while here the great majority . 01 the population are violent Chartist politicians . In the Merthyr district
I learn from undoubted authority that secret political meetings are held weekly , and oftener , and that tiiere are secret arms' distribution clubs , to which the men subscribe , and [ by which they are supplied with a musket , bayonet , cross-belts , &c , for £ 1 IBs . Thi 3 state of things ha 3 been going on for some considerable time , and I am informed by a public officer that he has little donbt that in the event of an outbreak one district aloae could furnish 5 , 000 stand of arms , consisting of muskets , bayonets , rifles , &c . I am also informed that fthe Government have been made acquainted with this secret distribution of arms , altnough they have not , as far ag I can learn , taken any steps to prevent it .
All the iron-works are now under reductions , and men are continually being discharged , which , of course , adds to the misery and discontent ; and should any ono of the large works stop , there would be considerable danger of an out-break . " Rebecca" also , it is said , is extending her sphere of operations to this county . Threatening notices have been served upon some of the workhouses , and information was received that it was intended on Sunday night to destroy
the Morris-Town gate , situate between Swansea and Keath , in consequence pf which , Captain Napier and a large body of police kept watohat the gate , and patrolled the neighbourhood daring the night . Captain Napier tells me . that they heard the bugles of *• Rebecca" in the hills more than once during the sight , and that several suspicious personages { most likely scouts ) passed the gate daring the night : finding it guarded , the attack was not made upon it . — Times correspondent . ;¦
So . the Chartists are in for it now , are they 1 "Holding Secret Meetings "; "forming Arms ' Clubs" ; "distributing Arms" ; " supplied with a Musket , Bayonet , Cross-belt ? , Ac , for £ 1 16 s each" . How very minute , and how very circumstantial i You would almost swear it was truth ! There is but one little } fault about it ; it is sheer invention , either on the part of the Times Correspondent , in accordance with a nudge from Printine-Houso Square ; or he has been
boaX £ B by some wicked wag , who has been practising upon his organ of wonderment and simples ! The Chartists of Merthyr district know their duty much better titan to join Rjscecca" in a seaEeless crusade against toll-bars ! and they know , too , that * secret meetings , " and * arms clubs , " and " riflesandauskets" are not required for their peaceful agitation . It happens that we are in a position to be able to give tbe most unqualified contradiction ta this inf&mons attempt to raise up all the unworthy and unlovely prejudices of the upper and middle men against the Chartists , by representing that body as counec ted with the" Rebecca " movement . This very week bronght ns a letter from tho accredited agent of the Merthyr Tidvil Chartists ,
their Secretary ; BtrenglyrUrging upon Mr . O'Connor to cross the Channel , and pay a visit to Merthyr , when on his contemplated western tour : averring that if he does so , be will find , whatever may be the case elsewhere , thatjthe Chartists of Merthyr hold no sympathy with : those who "do battle " upon turnpike gates J : and averring also , that bitter and costly experience has taught them that no advantage to the people can ever be eecored by riots or tumult ! This is from the mouthpieo « or the Merthyr ChxrtistB thesuelves ! the very sen who are now represented as * ' holding weekljr seeret meetings "; and ** subscribing to Anna' Distribution Clubs" ! We advise the Chartists of Merthyr not to let this m&uex sleep . Meet and refute the

[ Crush this rascally attempt to exoite prejudice at yoxur expence ; pat the foot firmly on it at the outset ; oi you will have to pay dearly for your forbearance !! ; 1 Cakmabtheii , Monday , Jdlt 10 . On Friday afiiernoon last a mob of lawless desredatprs assembled ! together , muiteringiabout one hundred strong , in ] the neighbourhood of Nantgarredig , about nve miles from thiB tows . They were on this occasion all disguised , had their faces blackened , and wore something designed to imitate turbans . Ibey wen aU tdresaed ia Bmock frocks and carried with them various implements of destruction . Their
first outrage commenced at Llandria-rirnwns-gate , which w attached toa bridge called Newbridge , over the river Towy ; This bridge was Greeted by the father of Mr . John Jones , M . p ., ofi Ystrad , for the convenience of [ the neighbourhood , ? md his private property . At the time of their approach to the bridge , «*» B entl enMm | from Carmarthan iwere fishing in l t °$ r Oa 1 meattow immediately contigioua to the bridge , andjthey were at once directed to leave , £ a < 38 at the ; peril of their lives . The appearance of tne nlob was alarming , and their threats being expressed inlanguage both determined and violent : the two anglers ; conceiving , no doubt , that discretion was the better part of valourimmediately coiled
, up their lines and ] departed under more than ordinary apprehension a £ to the result of the day ' s prooeedings . At the same time a respectable young man , a farmer , of the name iof Nicholls . happening to be on the spot , was placed under examination and charged with having on ] some former occasion volunteered to become a special constable , with a ; view to aid in quelling tho riots and depradalions committed by this lawless tribe . He , however , did not escape so well as the gentlemen of the rod and fly , but had to endure the operation of a very severe horsewhipping , after iwhich he was allowed to depart . A man of the name of Lloyd , from Carmarthen , attempted to escape , but they pursued him and he
shared the same fate . The course being clear , Mr . Lewis , the lessee of the tolls , was the next object of attack . On Saturday week , Mr . Lewis had summoned a number of persous for refusing to pay toll in passing the [ gate in question , and this strongly excited their wrath . Lewis was brought out from the tollhouse , and unfortuuately having bis horsewhip in his hand , he was at once overpowered , and most severely and violently beaten . Rebecca was not however content with this , but oa his bended knees she compelled him three successive times to swear by all that was sacred that he would never again have connexion with tho tolls or the turnpikegateB requiring Itho payment of toll . Then came the
work of destruction ; pickaxes , hatchets , orowbars and saws were set in operation , and the gate entirely demolished . It ! ia currently reported that Mr . Lewis reBigued his leeseeship into the hands of the trustees on Saturday last . An express was with difficulty sent down to Carmarthen ; at about six o ' clock the Dragoons were mounted and went off at a very rapid pace through Aber ^ willy to the scene of Rebecca ' s movements . Passing under Merlin'shill , which commands an extensive view of the vale of Towy , a shot was fired , which , it is supposed , was the signal of the approach of the soldiers and for the dispersion of the mob , for on the arrival of the military , and although an active pursuit was made by them tb trace their retreat , nothing was discovered beyond the destruction that had taken
place . After thelapse of some hours ; tho Dragoons made their way \ back to Carmarthen ; but it is supposed there must have been spies placed in ail directions , and this ; conjecture is by no mean 3 improbable , becanse , j nothing daunted , they proceeded again to pursue their coarse of lawlessness , and destroyed the Mansel ' s Arms bar ' and tollhouse , the latter beingfa very strong building , and Llanfikangel gate , and part of the tollhouse , whioh is situate on the mail road to LUndilo , immediately under Gelden-grove , the seat ! of , Earl Cawdor . The statements Iof several eye-witndssos are really of a very alarming nature , and the violent conduct , as well as the threatening language of tho Rebeocaites , seemed to indicate their intention of carrying out their threats , though it be at the sacrifice of life .
; Tuesday , Two o'Clock , p * m . I have just heard that Rebecca and family mustered about 200 iu the ; neighbourhood of Lianybyther and New Inn last night , and destroyed Penrallt gate , not far from the latter place , and also another bar . This renowned lady was , on this occasion , dressed gaily in female attire and sported a parasol . When the work 6 f demolition was complete , the party dispersed over , the bills and were soon lost sight of . More military have been sent for , and a troop of the 4 th Dragoons left Bristol on Tuesday for South Wales .
[ From the Swansea Journal . ) About a quarter to twelve on Thursday night last , a party consisting of about 200 men on i ' ooL headed by Rebecca , arrayed all in white , and who rode a white horse , were seen approaching Bolgoed tollbar from the direction of Pontardulais . The object of their visit was easily surmised , and the inhabitants of the few houses in the neighbourhood , apparently apprehensive of danger , retired withindoors . Rebecca advanced to the tollhouse and demanded admittance , which having been given , she directed a few of her troop to carry out the toil-collector ' s goods and chattels to the sido of the road , and to proteot them from all injury till they , had completed the object of their mission . Sko then gave the word of
command for the total demolition of tha house and bar , and actually , we are assured , within five minutes , the bar was cut ; to pieces , the house in ruins , and the whole party ; ia full retreat . During the time they were engaged , at work , a portion of their gang kept firing guns ] and huzzaing . They took the Carmarthenshire road , and separated in various ways . The farmers of \ the surrounding district strongly condemn this outbreak , and state their willingness to have abided by the decision of the turnpike trustees , whom they memorialised tho preceding day . This bar is situated near a place called Goppa Faoh , on the mail road ; within a mile ef Pontardulais , and eight miles of Swansea . j- ^ - ^ Trf-rt- ^^ -M-u ' M- rfi ¦ n ^^^^ hiarir r r r 1 " r r ¦ r '~ T r ri

Mr . Justice Cessswell then delivered the charge to the Grand Jury . He said , Gentlemen of tbe Grand Jury . I have to regret that , having now for the first titttfe the honour of addressing a Grand Jury of this county , I cannot congratulate you oa the state of the calendar with which we bavejto deal , or the state of the oounty in general , with reference to crime . The calendar into which which we are called upon to inquire , contains uo less thanjl 31 criminals : and by the returns published by order of her Majesty ' s Secretary of State for the Home Department , of the number of oriininal offenders j committed , it appears that during tho last seven years , the commitments within the counties of Yorr , 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 I catnot suppose that the whole is to be accounted for in , that way , and we mast come to the conclusion that there has been a great and rapid increase of crime during that short period . There is one short observation in the report , with reference to the 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 tho degree of instruction possessed by persons committed as criminals during the past year , show a
continuance of the same results as in the preceding year , namely , a decrease in the number of totally nnihstruoted criminals , andj an increase in the number of those who have received the smallest amount of instruction . At the 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 ami 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 the statistical account given in thta parliamentary report , of the state of the 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 prisonors wear a serious aspect , yet they are generally simple in their charactor , and the law with respect to them is perfectly clear . I
[ His Lordship then referred to some of the cases in the Calendar , commenting £ > n 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 tho Grand Jury retired to theirfroom , and soon after appeared in Court with a batch of True Bilk . ] The following cases were then proceeded with : — Wm . Marsden t 17 , pleaded [ guilty to having burglariously entered tho dwelling-house of Jonathan Tutin , at Sheffield , on the 31 st of March last , and stolen therefrom thirty-one j farthings , a pair of gloves , and a silk bag . —Sentence deferred .

They were conveying him to Ripon , when tb £ prisoner and a man named Longthorno camo up and threatened them , if the prisoner was not liberated , to "rip them up . " Dinsdale had then the prisoner in custody , and daring 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 Sinkler was then liberated , ' and got away ; bnt , being afterwards re-caotured . ! he was tried at the
a ? sizas in 1831 , and received sentence of death , which was afterwards commuted to transportation . f or life . Oar readers will remember , that , having been found again at large in this country , he was again tried at tho last spring assizes for this countyf or that offence , and was again sentenced to be transported ! for life . His brother , tho present prisoner ^ has been in the neighbourhood of Pateley | Bridge ever since that period , but , on acoount of his desperate character , ho has hitherto escaped { punishment .

There could be no doubt that the prisoners had
commuted a violent as&ault upon the prosecutor , but there might perhaps ba some question as to whether they had . committed the robbery with which they wereobarged . The proaecutor ^ on tbe night of tne robbery , had ( the money mentioned jin the indictment in his pocket , and as he was on bis road home he met with the prisoners , with whom he had some altercation ; he g went into the Cardi gan Arms , and they followed him , and some farther quarrel took place between them there .
