DURHAM & NEWCASTSLE -Great Foot Race fob ( Xse Hundred Pou . yds a Side . — Darham and Newcastle , or the sporting portion of ii ; e citizens of each , have recently been in a hiijh state of excitement in consequence of a match for a race being made between their respective champions , Atkinson of the former place , aad Scarlett , or the : ' Doctor , " of Newcastle . Thousands assembled to witness the race which took place on Monday , near Chester-le-street . The disJaace was a quarter of a mile . It was closely and keenly contested for the greater paTC of the distance , bnt ultimately Atkinson b- 'gan to lead his opponent , and finally woh by about fi ? e yardi The result was a great Joss and " heavy discouragement" to the " Tyne side" lads , who seemed quite sure of their champion winniog .
WiGAlT . —Election . ——The scrutiny is now over ; the two parties have come to a compromise , each laving one member . The sitting members are Peter Greenall , Esq ., Tory ; and Charle 3 Standish , Esq ., Whig . ASHBURTON , Detow . —The woollen trade still remains most dismal here ; factories are closed , -hops are shnt , and no signs of any improvement . Groups of men are walking the streeU half clad and almost starved . During the last nine months the woolcombers have have not had three months' work . The prospects of the labouring population are truly pitiable and heart-rending . On Monday night laBt several artisans left this their nat : ve town for America , among Trhom many were-members of the Chartist Association here , but who , on account of the depressed state of trade aro obliged to seek employment in other climes .
BRADFOSD . —Opposition to the New Poor Law . —This day is sent off from this town , petitions praying for a total repeal of the New Poor Law , and a re torn t-o the 43 d o = Elizabeth , signed by nearly 10 , 000 persons , to be presented in the House of Commons , by John Hardy , E ? q ., M . P ., and in the House of Lords , by the Right Hon . Earl Stanhope . Petition ? also to the same effect , from the 31 iaisters of the Gospel , and every township in the Bradford union , have been prepared . IVtaJTCHESTEK . —During the last fortnight , several reductions . Lave been made by the cotton masters of several firms in this town . In some instances mechanics have been reduced as much as eight shillings—overlookers from four to five shilliugs—weavers two shillings a pair of looms—and all the hands in the mills in a similar ratio .
BAEUSX . E 3 ? . Drabbett Wkateks . -A rumour was afloat early this morning , ( 12 rh inst ., ) that it was the intention of four of the drabbett manufacturers to reduce wages twenty per cent , upon those goods . A meeting of the weavers took place this afternoon , on the May Day Green , and after a committee h&d been termed , the metiing was adjourned until seven o ' clock at night ; in the int erval between the afternoon and night meetings , a deputation waited upon Messrs . Pickles , Hyde ? , Wood , and Frudd , te ascertain whether it was their determinatioH to persever « in lowering the price of
labour . The answer given to the deputation , by those gentlemen , was to the effect that they had no desire to reduce wages , that wages were already too low , and if ihs weavers themselves would not work for Oiher firms for anything less tbey , tbe masters , would continue to pay the old prices . At the seven o ' clock meeting , which was very numerous , the following resolution was adopted by . the workrofn : —* ' That we , the weavers of Barusley , ( in public meeting assembled , ) are determined not to work drabbttts , or any other work , at anything snort of ihe general list prices of the town . "
CHOBJ ^ EY . —Awful Accidkkt . —On Wednesday , April the 6 th , the Rev . W . V . Jackson , of Manchester , delivered a lecture in the Cha ' . tist Association Room , on the remedy for national poverty . Long before the time of lecture , the room was crowded to suffocation , and numbers could not gain admission . Mr . Jackson was received in the most entimaiTLjtio manner , and was introduced I ) ihe meeting amidst loud cheer ? . The lecture had occupied about half an hour , and just as he was speaking of the superiority of the Charter , and the people were listening with tho greatest attention , as sudden as a clap of thunder , the beams supporting i be floor snapped in the middle , and the hundreds of people went down together on , the ground
Sour , a distance of about nine or ten feet . To de scnbe the scene that ensued would be impossible . The people were in the greatest state of confusion , while & clond of dust darkened the place , and nearly suffocated them . The Rev Gentleman , who fell upon bis feet , spoke to the people to pacify them as much as possible , and told those who were on the top of the rest to get out as soon as tbey could with as little injury to tho ^ e tinder them as possible ; they did so , and the place was cleared without any one being killed . We are sorry to say one Boan had his collar bone broken , and his snuuldtt joint dislocated ; another &au fl thighs wtie seriously tojured , and a many otHrs were slightly bruised . Mr . Jackson was a little lamed in the arm and foot , and bis face ma rather braised . With these exoeption ? , do further injury wm fvteioed .

owing to the rapid spread of our principles . - '¦ A fter . a short discus-ion , it was resolved that there be only two lectures delivered at the opening , one iu the afternoon , and the other in tfee evening . The next question d . 'scusaed was as to who . should be appointed to dsliver the lectures , every one admitting that there w . . re likely to be large audiences , and therefore the most prudent to have the best talent for the occaswn ; and it was subsequently agreed that Mr . D . Ross , the Lecturer on £ locntiyn , and now Chartist Lec . urtr , should lecture in the afternoon , and that Mr .- ' William Jones , of Liverpool , and late West lliuiug L-. ct-iror , should' lectuvo in the evening .

Manchtster . —A Mr . Kiniston delivered an address in the Carpenters' Hall , on Wednesday evening , in bupport of tha Income Tax , and concluded by moving a resolution to the « ffect , that ^ - " a return to direct taxntion is a return to sound firtt principles ; that thi ? meeting approves of tha c ' largo uponiucono , and would recommend it ' s 'adoption , if accompanied by a rental of all import duties upon the nrcetsaries of life in favour of such coux tries as would take our manufactures in exchange , on a fair baste of reciprocity of trade ¦ but that nothing short of an cqu-il representation of tho people will permanently prove a , benefit , to them . " This was
seconded by a gentleman on the platform . .. Ao amendment declaring ali remedial measures useless without the Charter was immediately proposed , seconded , and ritcr some discussion , carried . It was also resolved , on the motion of Mr . Tiliman , " that for the purpose of shewing to the country thai the ChaTtit-t ? as a body are alive to their pledges , this meeting considers it right to distinctly declare , they will support no Government which will not make the People ' s Charter a Cabinet Measure .

This did not suit the lecturer and his party , who stated that if they persisted in having a chairman and
discussion , that there should be no lecture .

THE NEWLY ELECTED CHURCHWARDENS . To the Inhabitants of Leeds . FjEi . i . ow-ToTVNSPKppr . K , —^ Your suffrages having placed uain a public situation at once honourable and precarious , we employ this medium to return you our sincere thanks for the testimony of your confidence . We are well aware that this manner of addressing the public upon such occasions is novel , even as the rosult of the recent election of churchwardens has proved to be , and it is because of the novelty of the whole matter that we thus address
ourselves to you . The local affairs of the borough have been so long in possession of the two dominant parties of Whigs and Conservatives , and these bodies being mainly composed of persons moving ia higher spheres of life than tha - ' newly . ' appointed churchwardens , it does seem strange , and it has produced no little sensation among our worthy . ' .-denizens , - that these parties , with all their powerful influence , should be thrust aside , and working men chosen by public voice , to take charge of the church matters of this extensive parish , ¦ wonderful
Fellow-townspeople , it has caused a sensation , and produced no inconsiderable exhibition of ill-nature on the part of our Whig-opponent candidates ^ and your nowly-appoiuted ^ churchwardens hare undergone a marvellous deal of abuse from these shore-tempered parties . This we heed not—our minds had been > made' up to bear with magnanimity , the petty insolence and ; malevolent Bneers of all who should put on their faotibus armour to attack us ; we have borne much odium in our politicar agitations , and we positively assBre those men that in our present capacity their abuse , their jibes and misrepresentitious , will never disturb our wonted composure .
But , fellow-townspeople , we must correct one false report th&fc has been circulated by the local journals—though trifling in itself , yet to set t ; he inhabitants right upon the matter , we deem it fit to centraujot—that statemerit to whioh we allude , is our having resolved to suffer incarceration before we would lay a church-rate . Now , follow-townspeopie , thbugH we are as conscientiously opposfid to compulsory support of » state church as any body of men in Christendom , we imagine it would havo been extremely impru'ient to have determined upon pur course of procedure , ere we were appointed guardians of the churc yet we candidly admit that in anucipatipn of that honour we expressed our . individual opHvions on the matter , but there was no formal refcolutiori adopted by us upon the subject ; some may deem this uuimpoitant , but we opine that certain parties are usii / g this report as a handle to injure us in the estimation of our fellow-townsmen .
This the inhabitants may rest contented in , that during our term of office the public will be a ? litcle annoyed with demands for church-rates , as in the waidehship of any of our predecessors . We have thought it right to make this stand , to testify t © our teHow-town 8 ui « tt that the working people designat 3 d ChartietSi are hot , the contempuble wretches our Whig scribblers have asserted them to be . ¦;¦ - ¦¦ . . ' ¦¦¦ ' . - ¦ ' . ' : ¦ " ¦ ¦ : ¦ , '¦ ¦ ¦' ¦ : ' ¦ ¦ ¦ :. ¦ .. " . '¦¦ : ' " :. ¦¦ \ : As for their lying report of our reluctance to take ofRcO i and beingr bo anxious to leave it in charge of the retiring wardens * we emphatically contradict { the fact is , we cannqt aasunie office until the usual oath be administered , and that cannot take place until the Archdeaeon of the Diocese
makes his annual Visitation , and the same important matter we were intimately acquainted with ere we wore invested with office , and we may add with all the general duties of Churchwardens , though we have been taunted with ignorance by oertain short-sighted , foolish , individuals , who hold opposite political sentiments , and who caich at every method of venting their despicable spleen upon those equally as respectable as themselves , 1 hw is a shdrt explanation of the mysterious jaaUer our Whia friends have had such an amazinR quantity of mysterious talk regarding . Their other equally imprlncipled insinuations we pass over unnoticed .

Good , the Murderer . —Some excitement was occasianed in this town on Thureday last , by , a very stupid paragraph insevted in the York CouranX , to the effect that Good had been apprehended in JLeeds on Sunday nightj and had effscted his escape from the Gaol .

Being a stranger , I was missing my way , and by chance arrested your attention .

Sir , such is the charge of the polite Editor of the Birmingham Jownal , who now has my best thanks for having afforded me an opportunity of thanking you by name for your courtesy .
