      Fu&iocs Ridisg . On Monday last , Edward Ga ^ -eoigne , a butcher ' s lad , apprentice to Mr . James Walker , in Bnggate , was charged before the sitting ma gistrates ** ( be Court House , with having ridden 9 a child , in Baalingthorpe Lane , on the 11 th i& **\ nt . From the evidence given it would appear th ** *~ % aeoigne was riding at the usual rate of bawhersv ^—fHii gallop , and that the child , not two years oi& ,, Tag crossing the street , and had not time to get out 0 » *^ B way _ Though not very greatly injured , shew w » s a ^ B tne gid « of the Eknll , „

      Yrss . —Oa Tuesday afternoon , an alarming-fire broke oat in the farm buildings at Bramley Graage , ¦ Winn-moor , neur Leeds , the property of Mr . Sfceiton . The ft amw were ^ observed about half-past one o'clock wnen an express was sent to this town for *{ # aid of fire engines . These were soon despatched , snd by great exertions the fire was got under , but noi before it had destroyed the _ barn , containing a filnable thrashing machine , and a large quantity of rnia ; besides the stabling , and four stacks , namely , one of wheat , one of oats , one of h » y , and another of straw . Tne fire , we understand , originated from s ehimney of one of the farm cottages getting on £ re a spark from which communicated with BOme loose straw . The damage will profciblj amount to between £ 40 f and £ 5 ( 1 % , which is covered by insurance in the Leeds and "Yorkshire office .

      Cactios to Shop-kkepbes . —It is the practice with some of the shop-keepers in our most public streets to leave large packages , particularly of drapery goods , standing in front of their shops—a practice for which they are liable to be fined under the police act . A shop-keeper in Lowerhead Row , appeared bj summons before the magistrates on Saturday last , when , it being his first offence , he Tras excused on payment of the expenses , ( 6 s . id ., ) but cautioned to be very careful how he again oSendid .

      Gaiusg ct Public Hottses . —On Tuesday last , Hr . Henry Collisier , who keeps the Queen Ann , at Holbeck , appeared before the magistrates at the Conn-Boose , to answer to an information preferred * g » iasi ! iim by one of the nightly watch , for suffering cvd and dice playing in his house . Froan the statement of Mr . Head , the chief-constable , it would appear that some officious neighbour of Mr . Collisio n s , had , in a most friendly spirit , sent a letter to the Major , informing him that such practices were suffered ; the letter was handed to Mr . Bead , and he , at the request of the Mayor , told the watchman to call in on Monday night , when two parties were p laying cards in one room , and a party were at dice in the bar . The cards were taken possession of . Mr . Collister pleaded ignorance of what w » s going on : bat said , as it had been made out , he hoped the

      m&gi&mes would be as leni « nt as possible . He had lei his house , finding it impossible to carry on without some amusement being allowed , as if parties coald not get it ai one place , they would go to another . Mr . Alderman Hol'dforth , who was on the bench said— We have nothing to do with the law but to adminster it , aud we snail fine you in the lowesi penalty we can . I think it is a hard case , and a very objectionable law , to debar a poor man from amnsing himself , while the rich are permitted to gamble with impunity . A poor man , if he goes to get a pint of ale , and to amuse himself , is liable to a fine , or makes the landlord liable to a fine ; whilst I , because I can afford it , may hare a party at my own house and play as long as we like . —i disscEt from the law . " He-was fined fiTe shillings and casi 3 .

      ExaxRKABLB JssrxsaE of Gigakhc and Rapid Ye « etatio >\—The following extraordinary prodigy in the vegetable kingdom is we think deferring of notice , and is by no means less singular than true : a few days ago the shoo : of a common bnar or bramble was cm on Thisile Hill , KDaresbro ' , ( near the place where Ingene Aram was hnng in chains , ) which when measured was foaud to have attained the istonisliiiig growth , of thirty feet and upwards since

      last March . Sxsiors Accibest . —A serious accident happened on Stmday last , to a young man of the name of George Townend , of Gawthorp , under the following crrecnutanees : —He was taking a walk in ihe fields along with fire or six of his companions , one of wkom had a , knife open in his hand , when a scuffls arose , in which Townend took a prominent pan , ana tie knife was accidentally run into his arm . We hare cot heard the exact nature of the wound , but we understand that two medical gentlemen , who were soon in attendance , had much difficulty in . stopping the effusion of blood . The poor suifcrer '

      now lies at tne Traveller ' s Inn , Ossett , in a Tery precarious rare . Cosceet , ilcsic Hall . —Judging from the programme of Herr Eckersberg ' j concert for Monday erenxag next , a rich and brilliant treat Will be afiordfcd to the lovers of mcsic . In addition to the nrious pieces bj the usual band , and the military band , the names of Herr Eckersberg and Mr . Bywaier occur in solo performances , the former on the clarionet , and the latter on the Tiolin , besides that of Miss Brown for two songs . The finale ( a mnd musical picture and representation of the Battle of Waterloo ) promises to be an interesting pieee . Indeed , the programme presents throughout a jadicious and attractive selection .

      A Ptbucjls s Pest . —On Tuesday last , George Bottomley , a man who says he is a woolsorter , ' and comes from RocitJale , was bxonght before the sitting magistrates at the Leeds Court House , on a charge of flaring defrauded several innkeepers and others , at whose expence he had been faring sumptuously day by day , until Tuesday morning , when , after enjoying a substantial breakfast at the Golden Lion , he was given into custody . From the statements made it would seem that Bottomley came to Leeds in the middle of last week , and first pnt np at Parker ' s Temperance Coffee Honse , in Briggat * , but not being altogether a teet 9 taller when he could get any thine better , he only patronised " temperance'' until he had had rime to reconnoitre the town , and had eaten

      and drank to the amount of os . Id ., when he slipped off , forgetting to pay his bill . From here he went to ibe Griffin ; his scomach no lorger relished tea , coffee , and " Sampson ; " he wanted some ' -liicg strcr afer , and , accordingly , having found comfortable quarters at the Griffia , be ordered largely of " bed , breakfast , and brandy , ' until Monday a : ternDon , whea il mine host" was so uncivil as to desire payment . Oar hero said very coolly that he had no money , nor had he any means of " getting any ; so without ceremony he was as coollv desired to make himself scarce . From the Griffin he went to the Golden Lion , wh-: re he again feasted himself with the good things of the larder and the bar , and from ¦ whence he was meditating a fcastv retreat on

      Toesear forenoon . The waiter , however , who was too old a bird to be caught with chaff , p : aced a veto tpz-n his further perambulations , by giving him in . 'o the ear ^ uy of &n offie-er , by whom he was inrrodsced to the magistrates . In the presence , he was is taciturn as r . eed be , not deigning ; o answer any questions . Af U , r ^ consulting with their cierk , the bench said that he bad commitied an indictable offence , bnt mi , jht be proceeded against ? ummarily , and they therefore should call npon him to find too luretie ; in £ 20 each , to be of good behaviour &r three ^ moDtbs , in default of which he would go to nakefieldfor that period . Being a stranger , and enpro-ridei with the neccssarj- ba : J . he was kindly taken in" by Mr . Shepherd at Wakc £ eid , on the same dav .

Other ? , being afraid of Jjoiic o ^ inon , declared it could hot be done far the Lcart : s : 5 , and that n would be ail right if it was oone at tse tea pany , when they would have no op-Ppation . The opinion of the leadera of the Anti-Urn Law Repealers , who are to visit the tea party , is , however , to be taken .

      SEIGtHZjEV . Refcge for the Destitute . —At the Petty Sessions , held last week , before William Ellis and Frederick Greenwood . Esqoires , a woman was brought up charged with the came of begging , after being ordered out of the town . Lika most person ? in similar situations , she presented an appearance of extreme poverty . On Sagden stating the nature of her crime , Mr . Ellis , who acts as presiding magistrate , began to question her in bis usual kind and sympathising manner about the came of her poverty , and the place of her settlement . The woman , who appeared to excite general pity , gave a Tery artless account of hertelf . She said that her name waa Ann Wilson , and that Bhe came from Preston in Lancashire , although her native town was Gloasop , in Derbyshire :

      yiat Bhe bad wrought nearly all her life in cotton r ac * " - * ,,, ^ but through being thrown out of « aployment , was ^^ ^ necessity of . Mther beggin * , steaW orstaro WiiU „ £ good noa ^^ the humane Magistrate , « ^ i ^ Iet vou » at this time , woald you promise « that you would go straight home to your parish , and net ! , w aeam She assured him , with many thanks for his JBu ^ egg ' that if they would only liberate her , ske . would ad so . Sugden , the constable , who was standing by her side all the time , thinking that the magistrates intended to do as they said in good earnest , aud that he would consequently lose the twenty-five shillings he had in prospect for carrying her to Wakefield , drew their worship ' s attention to he * shoes and stockinga , which , together with the rest of her dress , be represented as being in the most deplorable condition . His timely hint had the de 3 ired effect . Mr .

      Ellis then as-ked her what money she had aboat her to take her home with ! On her replying none at all ; well , then , said the kind-hearted magistrate , yon have proved , by your own confession , that if we let you go at this time , you will commence begging again , for the means of support , while on your way home , and , therefore , we cannot let you go . The two magisvrates , after consulting together about a minute , ordered her to be committed to Wakefield House of Correction for fourteen days . Tfco principal objection urged by the magistrates , against her being sec at liberty , was , that she had no money to carry her home with , and to remedy this , the ; sent her to prison , whence she would be discharged ^ after » fortnight ' s punishment , in exactly the Bame situation , without money , besides beh / % * t * greater distance from home .

      Catching a Tartae . —Last week , a curate employed at the Bingley Parish Church took a walk on business as far as Cullingworth and neighbourhood , to ascertain the feelings of his flock about establishing a Chapel of Ease , in the Odd FelJows ' Hall , at the above place . la the courseot his ramble he came to a small hamlet called Ryoroft , and walked into a poor man ' s house to interrogate the family on the subject . The man was in the garden at the tun « , and aXter allowing him a sufficient opportunity to question hia wife , thonght he wooM Tvalk in and hate a little conversation with the gentleman himself . After pursuing the usual compliment , the husband brought out a testament and read a portion in praise of charity , after which , he asked

      him if he thought the establishment to which he belonged , and which swallowed up the sum of ten millions annually , had anything to do with that virtue . The curate gave no answer , but looked at the fire . He then asked him several questions about the consistency of Christian ministers supporting oppression and tyranny , and wished to know his opinion aboit the People ' s Charter . The curate still continued dumb , looking at the fire . Hearing some person weaving above , and wishing to draw his unpleasant visit to a close , he desired the good man to invite the person down , as he always made it a rule to fiaish of a visit by offering up & shore family prayer . The man , who was a thorough Chartist , told him he would ffrant his request , upon condition that h « wonld pray for the Charter to become the law of

      the land , and that right speedily , and that the Lord would bless and support O'Counor , Frost , Williams , and Jones , aud all the suffering Chartist * aow in prison for advocating the cause of truth tad justice . He the curate took hold of his hat , And the man , thinking he was going to commence without agreeing to the stipulation , said , now I tell yon , if you pray here , you shall pray for Feargus O'Connor and all the others , Md mention their names distinctly . The curate , however , made to the door , bidding him good day , aud the man returned the compliment , by telling him , ibaf he WAS Tery fu from the character of & genuine Christian minister . BAE . NSUBY . —On Monday last , Mra . Booth , of Baker ' s-street , was found dead in her bed , though she did not complain of any illness on Sunday evening .

      Much ell . —The friends of MitchelJ , who has been condemned to execution , have got up a petition , praying for a commutation of his sentence . OvjjMuEN . —Order of the Peaceful Dove . —On Monday last , the Honotirabie Order of the Peaceful Dove , of the Halifax district , opened a new Lodge , at the honse of Mr . Tidswell , the Golden Fleece Inn , Bradshaw Lane , Ovenden , whon twenty-four heaitby-look ' wg men were initiated into the Order , and ali of them seemed quite pleased . The name of the Lodge is " Yital Spark . " A good and substantial supper was provided by the host and hostess of the house , to which fare the party did ample justice .

      BUS 7 a—Yesterday week , as some boys were playing on the bank of the reservoir , near Bury , the son of a man of the name of James LiYf sey , in the pay of the rich , desired the boys to go away . The boys refused ; and upon thtir doing so , James Livesey , the son , proceeded home ( a distance of one hundred yards or more ) , and in a few moments returned with a sort of stick , and very deliberately plunged it into the breast of one of the boje , of the name of Thomas Birtwisde , of Bell-lane , near Bury . The boy dropped , to all appearance , lifeless on the ground : he was conveyed home in the ni ' xht . Surgical aid was quickly procured , and the bov

      pronounced to be iu imminent danger of his life . He has since recovered , but what ha * Livesey been done with ? What does the reader think 2 Was he committed to Uke his trial at the Assizes \ No , > e was not . Why , what then ? He was brought before the sitting magistrates , E . Grunay , E ~ q . and others ; and , in consequence of his father being a i ' avourite of the rich , he was allowed to compromise the matter , while it was distinctly sworn by three or four of the boys , that the stick had a dagger in it . This is either a gross violation of the law , or the te . w is an outrage on the British people , and shews the neeessiiy for a change in the administration of justice . —Correspondent .

His wife very na' . uraily followed , and implored them to release her hcsbaiid , but instead of so doine , they immediately locked her and her child nj > likesrise ; during all this time , the unfortunate man was Weeding profusely , insomuch that these hirelings deemed it necessary for their own safety to tike feim to the infirmary .

B # curbed with a vjjlage despot , and but few are more tyrannized over than we are , as the following case of oppression will most clearly show;—The rurals , not being able to find a job , owing to the sober habits of the people , are doin * all they can to excite the inhabitants to a breach of the peace : the working classes here are not allowed to stand in the street to speak to each other , while a set of idle drones are continually lounging about our streets . During the late storm , two poor men , who were out of employment , whose miserable homes and starving families compelled them to go into the Market-place to see if they could procure a job , to enable them to get some food for themselves and 'families , while

      they were standing on the causeway , one of the gm d'armtt came up , and ordered them off ; and for not complying with the orders of this Bunion they were summoned before the magistrates , who , in the exercise of their high prerogative , fined them five ¦ hillings each and expencet . if they had been Bent to prison there and than , the poor fellows would not have complained , for it would have saved then many x hanjrry belly ; bat not so , they were left to starve until ihe storm was gone , and they had got to work , when they were drftgged from their families , and constated to the felons dungeon , and their poor

      wives and children are left starving , and would not eren be allowed parish relief , whilst the collective wisdom at St . Stephens are babbling about an Irish fortification Bill to keep the French out . The autocrats and their mercenaries are doing all they can to drive the people of England to desperation ; but there is a point at which hnman endurance is . no loDger bearabie : and wien the bow does break , woe to the tyrants and oppressors of the pi > or .

He then went out , leaving Jaokson and two shop-boys , named John Hillis&nu Edwin Hodgson , in the shop . The prisoner pretended to seek a besom near the

      STTNUERXuaND . —TaILORS' STRIKE . —TfllS intelligent and patriotic body of men have not yot got the dispute settled with their masters , or rather with those three or four masters in Sunderland , who have conspired to crush the Society , aud bring down the condition of the workmen ; but we are glad to state that there is not the slightest disposition upon the part of the men to submit to this : to avoid it , many have left the town , their wiveB and familips being supported most liberally bythosoin employment . The majority of the masters having

      made no abatement , aud being , in fact , opposed to the mean conduct of the few great employers , who haTe exhibited go much littleness of soul , there is no doubt that the men will succeed in their efforts to resist the proposed profit-hunting reduction . The men are reluctant to appeal for aid , although they have ever been amongst the first to render it ; but we trust that the spirit which has dictated this reluctance will be rightly appreciated by their brethren , and elicit that spontaneous support which they so well d *>

The meeting was called for the 20 th instant , at two o ' clock . at which very few persona were present . After some time , it was moved and seconded that Mr . Farrand do take the chair , which ho immediately did , without waiting for the consent of those assembli d . After some remarks , expressive of his regret that < he meeting was not more numerously attended , the Chairman sat down , and Mr . Tipping , a working man , requested permission to address the chair , which was refused , with tho remark , that , he would not l > e heard at all ; it was not his turn . Some high words pas ? ed between the parties , Mr . to be

      i . not ftehng ui ^ po > ed put dovvu , and the chairman taiking about committing him to the care of the constable , and finding that to bo of non-effect he talked a ^ ain of' instituting a law suit . AH would not do ; Mr . T . animated that he cared as little for his law , aa he did for himself . A resolution was moved and Btconded , to which Mr . Tipping moved an auieudmeut , but the chairman refused to put it , but said the mover wfjht second any of the resolutions proposed , and adjress the met-Tin' ; , which , of course , he refused to do on such conditions . The object of Mr . T , was to iif . t the meeting adjourned to a time whoa the workpeople could attend , but i-his was evidently contrary : o the design of the patriots who had convened the mooting . The Chairman , if he expects to become popular , must manage his public conduct iu rather a more courteous spirit than that which he evinced at the above meeting .

      PETITION OF THE BIRMINGHAM CHRISTtAN CHARTIST CHURCH , FOR THE RELEAafc OF MR . H . UETHERINGTON . To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain ana Ireland , in Parliament assembled , The Petition of the Member * of the Christian Chartist Church , Birmingham , Hckblv Shbweth , —That . your petitioners view with regret and indignation the imprisonment of Mr . Henry HetherinKton , upon the charge of publishing blasphemous Jotters . They had hoped that the age of intolerant persecution , for opinion ' s sake , had long gone by . Your petitioners highly disapprove of the matter contained in the letters , but they have full

      confidence m the intrinsic excellence of the principles of Christianity , and of their complete power to gain an entrance into every heart ; and , therefore , they feel indignant at the assumption that these principles require any assistance from tho Government ., or that those who believe not in them should be persecuted . . Your petitioners { ear nothing from the opposition of infidelity , unless it be the practical infidelity of those , who , for "filthy lucre ' s sake , " profess to be the friends of religion . They believe that reason and kindness are the only weapons which Christianity requires for its defence ; and that the iron band of vindictive law must injure it in theeye 3 oi the ignorant and unbelieving , since it forces into existence a character that , under any cause , commands esteem and sympathy—viz . a martyr . They

      cannot but feel deep sorrow that the , " powers that be" are so wanting in tho true "faith , " as to conceive that a religion of truth requires the aid of the dungeon to protect it . They cannot hel p seeing a glaring inconsistency in punishing the blasphemy contaibed iu a few letters , while a far greater blasphemy is every tour committed in the wars and plundering of those whose most common words are " Peac 9 , love , and indifference to temporalities . " Your petitioners , therefore , pray , that your Honourable House would memorialise her Majesty , to release the said Henry Hetherington ; and that yoH will also take immediate steps to abolish all laws inflicting paias and penalties for opinion ' s sake . And your petitioners will ever pray , &c . Signed , on behalf of the Church , John Collins , \ p _ - _ . Benj . Hill , ) nPannn < i Gkorge Sttles , f Deacon 9 -
