On ifonday , the 5 th October , I met with Cherry , and Robinson , and Fox , at a Tillage called Smithies , near SimsJej . I met tiem iritbont appointment , or expectation cf jeeing « ther of them ; it was about ten o ' clock a . m . winn I net them . There wu about to take place a foot-race , and I had gone for the « ole purpose of » eeing ft . The names of the two persons who were to run were Slater and Brook- Robinson asked me if I could let bid h » Te Ss . 6 d . I said I could- Dot , as I had but Sjd . in the w « rid- Robinson then said he would have some money before night I remained at Smithies until two o- ciock , r . n ., barring formed there the company of a young toib * xi named ToppingB ; there wu another young woman with her sained Milliard . Myself aDd the two young women went into a house occupied by
one of their aconaintance , as it was Tery cold . We remained in the house about half ah hour , and then ¦ went wiibout stopping to see the race . We-returned , all three together , in the direction of Barnsley , about t » e and a half miles disfcmt We arrived at Barnsley about kalf-p « t two , P . M . I left the yoon * woman , and went to my father ' s houre , my borne , to get somefotnjr to eat . I remained about a quarter of an hour , ¦ ad then went out ; and on going down the principal street besides the market-place , I met a person named G * o rge Barlow . George Barlow offered to pay for a pint of ale , if I would go to John Winter ' s publicbouse , tailed the Royal Oak . We then went together to that hous « , and had a pint of ale between us , which * e psiS for . We remained at this house about
three qosrteri of an hour . We then went to another public-house , called tht Duke of York ; and baring Mmained there about ten minutes , and got one glass of ale , I then left the 3 > uke of York , leafing George B 3 rlow in it . I then went up alone to a street of houses , ailed Taylor-row , and remained there , not in a beuse , about on 9 hour , talking with one John Hil ton , a weaver . I then left him and went home again to my fitter ' s house . I tot thare at a . boni ii-re o'clock ; I got my tea nd want out again , having been in the bouse about ten minutes . 1 had agreed with the young woman , Deborah Topping , whom 1 hsd been with at Smithies , to meet ber in the afternoon of that day . I went out from mj father "? house for the sole purpose of meetisg her
according to appointment . I met her near what is allea BsrnBley Town Bna , about a mile from my fathers house ; this would be about half-past five , P . M . We ihsn ( the young woman and myself ) sat down together upon some steps belonging to Janus Cleminwn . We sat there about three quarters of an hour . We then left that place and went down the street back again , and was about a quarter of an hour coming o Joshua Wragg * s shop ; just opposite this shep I met K ^ binson and Ch erry ; ths young woman , » n hearing tl . e young m ^ Ti « ay he "wanted ine , walked , away immediately ; after tf »« Robinson told me , in a great hurry , that & man had been collecting some milk money ; he said the man would pass Crow-well-hill , which is about half a mile from where we were .
itobinaon and Cherry told me to follow them . We Ml three ran in the direction of Worsbro " Common , then passed Crow-well MIL When we got to tie Worsbro" Bits , the wbole threa of tu -went on the Jfew Read , still running , and over a temip field . I did not know where we were going , but followed then , as they said the man had some inonej * b ont him . When we got into the field in which Blackburn's house stands , though I did not at the t uie know whose house it was ; Cherry and myself s 4 opp ~ d at the barn end ; Cherry then took up a piec * Of wood , about four feet long , it was a gate head . Cherry gave the gate head to me , and said I was to strike the man with it . When I got the gate head in my hard * , I went to the gats that leads into the yard
• f the house , or farm yard : Cherry yet stood at the bam end , where I had just left bins . I was now about tight yards from Cnerry . Cherry told me that Robinacm wr _ s patting sp hie hand for us . At tnis time I mw the § iri that gave e-rideace against me at my trial , a £ i » wrs •¦ tanding at the bouse door , I was about from twenty to thirty yards fmm her . Cherry Jeft me and went t-. i-srards Robinson . Robinson was , at the time Cherry went away , standing upon the wa ! i against the lane -R-hicn leads to the house . I saw him there , he was abort thirty yards from me . I inuuediateiy followed Cuerry , and whilst 1 was- following Cherry , I * aw Robisson upon the wall with a stone in his band , U apptarcd to be a large stone . I saw him at the same time lift up both his arms , as if in the act of
hurling something down from the ¦ wall where he stood . I was lien about eight yards from Robinson . I then saw KtfMnson jump from the wall into the Isne , but before i bad got on to the wall myself , I heard some < jae t&y Yon d—d rascals . " 1 knew this was not the ¦ voice -either of Robinson or Cberry ; from the wa . l 1 saw a scuffle between a man whom I did not know , and Bobicsvn and Cherry . I saw Robinson and Cherry pull the Bin ' s fefet from under him , and the man fell do ^ Fn . I ihBR jumped from the wall , and wilt the gate head in my ii&nd , 1 strati the first man 1 came at . I intended u > have struck the man I saw struggling with Robinson and Cherry . The height of tbe wall was about six or seven feet The moment I jumped down I struck » : the first man nearest me ; I found then that
I had struck at Robinson , for be said 1 had broken his arm . Robinson said I must carry biiii into the planting . I told him he might -walk there . Bobinson then went awsy in the direction of the planting ; Cherry- ran in the direction of the pasture . It was at this moment I saw a ptrson lying on the ground in the lane , with his bat off ; an * I also saw tbe yosng woman mentioned before , and an elderly woman with her , with her cap cc Both the women screamed out several times , murder . I st * od a little , at about eight yards from the two women , terrified with my arms hanging down by my side . When I saw tbe two women coming towards me , I ran away . 1 ran towards the pasture gate of ike field , besides the planting . I saw no one but Cherry before me as I ran ; before I got to the
{ at * mentioned , I stumbled over some sticks and other obstructions in the lane that led to the pasture , and felL I iiumediately g » t up and got over the pasture gate . I still raw Cberry running before me . I ran in tbe direction of the pasture gate , because I dare . not go hj tbe Ban » cis , thinking that the soldier on sentry might fire at m * I should have gone that way by the Ban * ' k ^ if it had not been for this dread of being snot I get into the field where Cherry was running , I overtook him crossing the New Road . We then went together , still running , until we came to Mr . Tee ' s lib pund . We then went to Knaresbro' Dyke , n tbe Doneaster road . Here a person named Godfrey Hirst came to me , and seizing bold of Die . laid I hid been steaJVnz apples .
Be wicted ae to give him some ; I told him I bad » one . Hirst then left us . Cherry and I then went in the direction of Taylor Row ; before , we got to Tayloi Bit 1 met a man , whom I fouad at the coroner ' s infuest waa Henry Ball . We then went into the Red lion , a public-house at Bamsley Town End ; as we were standing at the entrance by the house , Cherry and myself agreed to go and seek Robinson . We went t « the Railway Tavern , but he was not there ; here 1 had a small glass of ale . We here met Thomas Cherry , tb « brother of John Cherry , and George Barlow . John Cberry aaked Thomas Cberry if Kobinson bad been there ; he said he did not know . We all four of u « shea went oat , and went on the I > on caster Road , towards the Butchers' Arms' public-house ; but we did
not go in . At the entrance of this bouse I saw F » i In tbe street , and be joined us ; I bad not seen him ( Fox ) since tbe morning of the day .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Ttosdat , March 30 . Tb » Coaunittee appointed to try the me ; its of the petition against the return of Mr . Gladstone for tbe borough of Walsall reported that that gentleman was duly elected , bat that Beither the petition » or the opposition to it were frivolous or vexatious . The committee further reported that there prevailed a general system of treating at the lut election at Walsall , but there wu no satisfactory evidence to connect it with tbe sitting member . The Chamcbllok of tbe Exchequer , in reply to a question from Sir R . Peel , said be would make his finifflctel statement for the ye » r on Friday , tbe 80 th of ApriL
Mr . Pakikgtos then rose , pursuant to notice , to move that a select conunittee should be appointed to inquire into tbe state of the colony of Newfoundland . The Hon . Memfcar , u the groundwork of his motios , stated that the population of Newfoundland anotuted to from 75 , 00 * to 80 , 100 persons , who were nearly equally divided into Protestants and Citholics . He did not mean to find fault with tbe Government for having conferred a constitution on the colony , though , for bis own part , he thought it was prematurely given ; and it was rather a singular fact that the very persons who were formerly most anxious for that constitution , were very many of them now most desirous to have it abolished . The elections in the colony had been attended by erious rioting . At St John ' s the elections cvald not be concluded at all without mi . itary intervention . To such an extent had these outrages Veen carriei , that the governor , wMen opening tbe session last January , bad expressed doubta as to whether the colony wu yet in a fit state to receive a legislative system .
Lord J . Russkil would not oppose the motion , though be had not himself thought it necessary to propose s committee of inquiry . Be would not deny that serious disturbances bad taken place , nor wu he prepared to state to the House the means by which Government proposed to remedy the existing evils . At a future time he would propose them to the House , ¦ whatever might be the opinion of the committee . He could not think that they bad prematurely granted a constitution to Newfoundland , for the governor of the colony had stated that it had rapidly improved in many respects under that constitution . He was , therefore , unwilling to abolish the constitution , nor couM he have much faith in a House of Commons which showed itself too ready to do away with representative government After some observations from Mr . Hums and Mr . J . OCo . nszli , tbe motion was agreed to .
The House having resolved itself into committee on the Poor Law Amendment Bill , tbe consideration of clause 19 wu resumed . Mr . CoLQUHOi . t moved a provision , to the effect that in all these combined parish or union schools a chaplain should be appointed to regulate and superintend the instruction of tbe children , except those children were of a religion other than that of the established church , whose parent * , or wh «* e godfather or godmother , might object to their being instructed in the tenets of tbe established church , in which case it should be lawful that a licensed minister of the religion of the parents should vibit the schools at certain hours to be appointed , to teach that religion to the children . Provided also , that such chaplains should be appointed by tb « board of management , with tbe consent of the bishop » f tbe diocese , and receive such salary u the Poor Law Commissioners should think proper .
Dr . LrsBi ^ GToa felt confident that the appointment Of these chaplains was actually necessary , though he did feel some reluctance at throwing any additional burdens on the ^ inenters for the purpose ef educating children in a religion to which they were opposed . He tbougbt , however , that the Dissenters themselves would rather see these children educated in tbe principles of tbe Established Church , than that their education should be entirely vecular . He WU Of Opinion that tbe exception contained in the proposition of tbe Hon . Member was by no mean * broad enough . Suppose three or four orphans were thrown into these schools , wboie parents and forefathers bad for centuries been Catholics , and suppose those children to have already imbibed some of the principles of that religion , it would , in his opinion , be a violation of the first principles of religious liberty to bring up children under such circumstances in -the religion of tie Established Church . The Eon . Member confined his
exception to the parents , or to the godfather and godmother ; but surely an uncle or aunt , oz other relative , would be u well entitled to interfere . He bad instanced the case of Catholic rpbans , but tbe sane reasoning would apply to the orphan children of Biptista or Independent * , or , indeed , those of any other religious persuasion . Lord Tbigsmosth contended that children , to whose relatives their religion wu a mutter of indifference , should be brought up in tbe tenets of tbe Established Church . Lord SiNDOK suggested that if tbe clause was so framed as to give ta « power of objection to children being brougkt up in tbe religion of the Established Church to p&reuts and natural guardians , instead of godfatb « rs and godmothers , the difficulty would be obviated .
Mr . HiWBs contended that the effects of this clause would be to place the education , not only religions but secular , of all these children in tbe bands ef the clergy of the Established Church . As the payment of these chaplains would come out of tbe poorrates , to which tbe Dissenters so largely contributed , he thought they would never be reconciled to it He protested against tbe clause , and should five it tiXtry opposition . Lord J . Rcssbll wu of opinion that , without some modification of the clause , they would run the riik of giving too great power to the chaplains over the secular education of tbe children in these schools . Mr . Laxcdalb suggested the addition of some words to protect a child of twelve or thirteen years of age , who might already have received some knowledge of the principles * f a religion , not being that of the Esta blished Church .
Mi . Wa £ d suggested the postponement of the clause , in order to give time to have it properly framed in order to meet the objections which had been nr 56 d . Air . Bb 6 * ai . said tbe clauie , in itt present position , could not be postponed . Mr . Blacxstoke observed that , in that case , he would rather have the elause rejected altogether . The question was , be thought , too important to be introduced incidentally in a Bill for tbe continuance of the Poor Law Commission , Mr . t . egbbtoh could not see why these chaplains should not be paid without objection , upon tbe same principle as ckaplaias of prisons were paid , out of the county rate . After some further discussion , the amendment of Mr . Colquboun wu carried , by a majority of 118 to 32 . Tbe Chaiemah then put the question , that thi clause stand part of tbe Bill , npoi whieb
Mr . PaBX&R said h * should oppoa * the clause altogether . Mr . GaiMSDiTcm wu alt * opposed to the elause . Mr . WaEXBY wu of opinion that all the matters relating to tbe education of the children should be made the subject of a separate BilL The House divided upon the original motion , upon which tb « cla&M wu carried by a majority of 141 to 3 « . Colonel 8 IBTHORP moved the orsission of the lTtb clause , but on a division it wu carried by a majority of 144 to 23 . Tbe 18 th clause being proposed , Colonel Sibthorp moved that tbe Chairman should report progress , upoa which tbe Committee divided , amd the Gallant Colonel ' s metioo wu aegaUvtd by a majority of 1 * 9 to IS .
Colonel SlBTBOK * spoke of the importance of the clause , and said it wu B&fair to harass Members by foreiag its considec&tf •* upon item , at so itfe ax bow of the nigkt . Lord jokh Rcssbll gav « way , ud the Chaimaa accordingly reported progrwt , aad obtained leave to sit again on Thursday .
Wednetdayt March SI . On the question that tbe Jews' Declaration Bill be read a third time , Mr . Gladstohb moved that it be read a third time that day six months . Mr . Pbikglk seconded the amendment Mr . Wicaclat did not think the House of Commons wu justified in refusing that which ought to be granted , because they might suppose they wosld after wards be asked for something they might not ftd disposed to grant

Mr . Goulburu contended that if they admitted Jew * to corporate offices it would be impossible to expect them to enforce laws respecting blasphemy or the observance of the Sabbath . Sir R iNfiLis strongly supported the amendment upon tbe same grounds u bad induced him to oppose the Bill upon its second reading . Lord Sahdok wu not prepared to go the same length u Hon . Gentlemen on the Ministerial side ef the Hooae , bat still b » had heard nothing to induce him to refuse his assent to this BilL After a few observations from Mr . Divett , the House divided , and the third reading wu carried by a majority of 108 to 31 . Tbe Bill wu then read a third time , and passed .

LATEST FBOM THE UNITED STATES . The Britannia , mail-steamer , arrived on Wednesday at Liverpool , from Halifax , after a speedy but rough passage of thirieen days from the latter port ; bringing accounts from New York to the 15 th , and Boston to the 16 th ult ., inolusive . The intelligence thus received , which has been so anxiously looked for , is not of importance . The affair of M'Leod was still in staiu quo , and himself in prison at Lock-port , awaitiug his trial , to which , however , it was not thought he would be brought . Rumours prevailed , that our minister , Mr . Fox , bad demanded the release ofM'Lcod , or his own passport , but the statement is not founded upon authority . The boundary question remained also untouched since our last advices .
( From the New York American , March 15 J We have now increased confidence in the belief that no serious difficulties will interrupt our relations with Great Britain . Meanwhile , however , all possible precautions to prevent the occurrence of any untoward events on the frontier are taking by the Administration . Major-General Scott , not less distinguished as a pacifL-itor , than , at need , as a dashing soldier , arrived here last night from Washington , on his
way to the Niagara frontier , to tako all proper measures to repress or repel any partisan outbreaks that might arise in the course and by reason of M'Leod ' s trial at Lockport . That trial is noticed , we believe , for this day week , not this day , as has heretofore bean stated ; and we hear it rumoured from Washington , and we believe truly , that the Attorney-General of the United States , Mr . Critt « nd « n , wall be present at Lockport , on behalf of the ^ LJuited States , to take such steps as the case may warrant .

FBOM OUH LONDON CORRESPONDENT . London , Thursday Evening , April 1 , Quarter to Seven . All Fool's Dat . —This morning , at Bow-street , two well-dressed young men , disciples of the Waterfords and ^ Waldegraves , who gave the names of Win . Townsend and Charles Smith , were charged with having made fools of themselves , ere the anniversary of their " day of privilege" had well aet in , and in that capacity created a disturbance in Co vent-garden market , and assaulting an officer in the execution of his duiy . It appeared that the defendants , with some other persons , stationed themselves in the conservatory , and
amused themselves with throwing orange peels at people passing to and from the market , and otherwise conducting themselves in a very improper manner . On the officer desiring them to desist or leave the place , they refused , saying they would act ss they pleased , at the same time making use of very abusive and in&ulting language , from which they proceeded to more substantial violence , and it was with considerable difficulty that they were secured . It turned out that the defendant Townsend is a solicitor , and Smith his articled clerk ; and they were fined £ 5 , or fourteen days' " limbo . " They were then locked up ; but , just before the arrival of the van to take them to their destination , they " raised the wind . " and mizzled .
Sikgulau and Fatal Accident . —An inquest was held this morning by Mr . Baker , in Old Gravel Lane , on the body of a female child , named Crawley , aged sixteen months , whose death waa caused by & singular accident . The mother of the deceased said that on St . Patrick ' s Eve she went out to sup at a frieud ' s , taking deceased with her . After supper , as the child was playing about the room , she fell over a stool , and theu screamed very violently . Her mother rau to her assistance , and on taking her up found that the was bleeding from ihe mouth , and
that she held in her hand a square-pointed shoemaker ' s knife , the blada of which was stained with blood . Tbe child showed no external wound , and the knife must have entered her mouth as she tell . The parish surgeon , ( Mr . Garrett , ) saw the child on l he day following the accident , but did not discover the real nature of the injury until a few days afterw&raV , when he lound a distinct incised wound in the throat , ( caused , doubtless , by the knife being forced in , by the fall ) , surrounded by infiammation , and producing extreme difficulty of breathing ; the gutlden sloughing of this wound ended in suffocation and death . Verdict , " Accidental Death . "
Citt News , Commercial Review , and a Warning Hint to thk Depositors in Savings' Banks . —The Chancellor of the Exchequer has laid his ministerial paw upon the Savings' Banks deposits , and given iu exchange Exchequer Bills—that is , his flimsy and fluctuating " promises to pay , " to the commissioners . Even among the money-mongers this step has been' loudly deprecated , as tending to destroy all confidence in the hitherto sacred nature of this trust ; and most of the '' long heads upon 'Change , '' predict , with considerable confidence , that this source of revenue will be thereby seriously injured , if not permanently impaired . The objections to this mode of augumenting the National Debt are numerous ; and it is argued by the best infoTmeii inauch malteiB , that if this By stem be
permitted , the Government may UBe the power of increasing the debt to an unlimited extent . Irrespective of ibis view of the money market , the general aspect is favourable to commerce ; the changes are in favour of this country , and gold is flowing into the old lady ' s" coffers . All this betokens a more lively state of affairs ; but , as money is abundant , and first-class bills are very scarce , some of the " heavy gentry" may be induced to embark their posh in foreign loans . They may , perhaps , burn their fingers at this fund ; for , recently , on the bare possibility of war with France , French securities fell 23 per cent , in as many days . The following are the closing prices to-day of some of the British funds : —Three per Cent . Consols , 88 | ; New Threeand-a-Half per Cent , 971 ; Exchequer Bills , 7 ; Consols for Account , 88 § .
Tub Svicwb Mama . —In the course of Jast week , six cases of attempts at self-destruction were admitted to the London Hospital alone , one of which proved fatal . During Monday and Tuesday last , three other cases of a similar description were admitted to the same Hospital , of which another has terminated fatally . Frightfel Accident . —Falling of a Floor-Cloth Manufactory . —Yesterday afternoon , about three o ' clock , the floor-cloth manufactory belonging to Messrs . Wringdon and Kendall , now erecting in Pasje ' s-walk , Grange-road , Bermondsey , fell in with a tremendous crash , amongst the numerous workmen , crushing seven of them in a most
frightful manner . The sufferers were immediately conveyed to Guy ' s Hospital in cabs , where in a short time two of them were so far recovered as to be permitted to be removed to their homes . The others remain at the hospital without hopes of recovery . There were upwards of fifty persons on the building at the time , and the disastrous occurrence is attributed to the braces which had secured massive pieces of timber , forty feet in height , supporting the floor , having been snapped by the heavy gusts of wind , which continued 10 blow all the morning . Additional braces had been placed , but a sudden gust snapped all tbe props , and in an instant levelled the whole fabrio with the ground .

j ^ PNaseow Escapc— On Sunday evening last , about aeven o ' clock , as a gentleman and two ladies from Honley , near % iddersneld , were about to return home , and while the horse was being attached to the gig , at the StraSbrd Arms , Wakefield , tbe ladies took their seats in the carriage before the horse was properly yoked , when he immediately began to plunge , and notwithstanding the utmost exertions of the ostler and tbr « e attendants , it was not without much d . fficulty that the ladies were rescued from their perilous situation . Great praise is due to the ostler for his intrepidity and ooarage on this occasion , which no doubt saved the lives of at least two iidividuals .

KEIGHXiinr . —Low Tt&annt . —Last week , the following low act of petty tyranny was played off upon the Chartists of this town , and mar serve to shew , in a small way , the state of English liberty at the present day . For a considerable time back , the common bellman of the town baa declined having anything to do with crying the meetings of the Chartists at the Working Men ' s Hall , alleging as bis reason , that if he did it would be as muob as hia place was worth , in oonaequence of orders received from » few persons calling themselves the town ' s authorities . Having a week or two ago refused to announce a Chartist meeting at the above place , that body were under the necessity of appointing a crier of their own . A rattle , sometimes used oy
the Temperance Society , was accordingly borrowed of Mr . TliomaaKuowlea , and Mr . John Waverhouae , a barber , agreed to perform the duties of the office pro tern . He was accordingly going through the town last week , informing the inhabitants that a representation of Dr . M'Douall , would be gone through in the Working Men ' s Hall , when a follow called Sugden , lately dubbed as town ' s constable , came to him , and forcibly seized the rattle , pretending at the time , that it was a public nuisance , and endangered her Majesty ' s peace , by drawing crowds of people to the place . Mr . Waterhouse replied to this ridiculous charge , by observing that the people collected , amounting to only about a dozen , were there before be came , and their attention had only
been drawn towards him through Sugden ' s own conduct in seizing the rattle . Argument was , however , out of the question , and Mr . Waiorhouse and the rattle were taken to the magistrates' clerk , where Sugden declared his willingness to take oath that the unusual noise of the instrument had collected about 200 persons in the course of a minute , and to all appearance , but for his timely interference , would have produced a riot in the town . On Wednesday last , Messrs . Kuowles and Waterhouse appeared before the magistrates at the petty sessions to lay a complaint against Sugden for forcibly seizing the rattle , and wishing to Know the opinion of their worships about the means they ought to
employ in publishing Chartist meetings , as they were denied the use of ibe common bell . Mr . Ellis informed them that , in his opinion , a bellman had a discretionary power , and had a right to refuse crying anything he might deem improper ; and if the constable can prove that the rattle is a nuisance , and obstructs the passage through the town , he has a right to stop it . The parties left the Court , declaring their determination to know something more about the power of either magistrates or constables , to prevent the crying of legal meetings , upon which Mr . Ellis reminded them thaUtey were magistrates , audhad the power of sending people to Wakefield House of Correction .
STOCKPORT . —The Anti-Corn Law Humbugs AND THEIR HOLE-AND-CORNER MeETIN « 3 AGAIN . —On Friday evening , a meeting took place in the large room , at the Bull Inn , upon the subject of the Corn Laws . Messrs . Cobden ; Smith , and five others from Manchester were present . This meeting , as all the rest have been of late , excepting one at which they got completely beaten , was called by a pink colour iu order to evade fair discussion—finding they cannot convert the working men of Manchester to their half-and-half measures , they resolved to have a try at Stockport ; but , poor creatures , it was no go , one of our Chartists met one of these great repealers in the street , on Monday , and the repealer begun to tell him what a great meeting they had had on Friday evening . The Cnartist soon told him there were in number just , forty-eight , and not a soul more , out of which number only twelve were operatives , this no repealers will deny . The repealer acknowledged it was truth and was silent .
Dreadful Fire . —About . one o ' clock " on Sunday morning , the corn mill belonging to Mr . Wardle waa observed by the watchmen to be on fire . They gave an alarm as promptly as possible , but the rage of the flames was past all haman efforts to put out , until the whole ot the building was destroyed , together with a great quantity of flour , grain , and malt , which had been sent to be ground . —A portion of a cotton factory belonging to Mr . Barlow caught fire , and the chief exertions of the firemen were directed for the safety of that which they succeeded in accomplishing , at least without its sustaining any material injury , it is not known how it caught fire , as both watchmen were by only half an hour before . Mr . Wardle and Mi . Barlow are both insured to the
amount . On Wednesday evening , a public meeting was convened in the Chartist-room , for the purpose of electing a person for the Convention . A resolution was passed , agreeing with the plan laid down by Feargus O'Connor , Esq . A second resolution was also passed , that Dr . M'Douall should be requested to represent the people of Stockport . Both were carried without opposition ; and a third was about to be submitted , when a disoussion arose as to the legality of the meeting . They referred to the Star , and found they were wrong , and adjourned till that night week , to call it by placard .
MACCLESFXJBUD—The anti-Corn Law Petition . —We have received , from a gentleman of Macclesfiold , a letter containing a contradiction to the statement in our last , that the Corn Law repealers of Macclcsfield have compelled the infant scholars of the Primitive Methodist Sunday School to sign a petition for a repeal of the Cora Laws , and that the teachers , male and female , Signed for those who could not write their name . " Our present Correspondent , affirms this to be an infamous libel upon the character of the Repealers at Maoclesfield , and states that there has been no petition at all on the subject this year . The paragraph was inserted upon the authority of a communication from Macclesneld , authenticated by what seemed to be a real name and signature . We have handed the name of the party to our present Correspondent , of whom we know nothing more than of . the Other , and so leave tho matter between them .
