Thy proud pampered nobles indulge in each dainty ; Their concert-notes smother pale poverty's sigh ; WMle gsnnt famine rtalfca amid regions of plenty , And dooms forlorn milliona of hunger to die .

While tyrants regard with a scorn unexampled , The sweat of the loom-slave , the land-helots ton .

Exl : z 2 U >" g Mo > "TT . —On Tuesday izsi , a man named Joseph Kemplay , who has been for some year ? shopman ro 2 dr . ~ llobert Wright , shoemaker , Briiga-e , was brongtt before tie magistrates at the Couri House , on a charge of having embezzled various = uai 3 of moi-ey , the property of his employer . The prisoner ^ as taken into custody iu the week previous , on a charge of having , at various times , siSien shots from his employer ' s stock , and from the cvidenc-. ' then adduced , it appeared tbathehad btc-n eiaplcjed fcv Mr . Wright a-5 a ccn £ * dential servant for the last tvre ' ve years , during "which period he m . > st ptire cop . SdeBce wa ? placed in his honesty . A 5 > . cn fcae since , informal fon was commuaicated to Mr . tkises , snoenuteudeni of ihe night police ,
tkat tse prisoner was disposing of boots and shoes in a c andtrstice matner , in consequence of which icqnir ' es were set on foot by Mr . James and Mr . Wr .-sht , which resulted In " a confirmation of the En ? picicns preriousJy entertaified , and he was taken lBto cas-tMy . It « eiQ 3 that the prisoner , about eighteen months ago , had commenced supplyir-g certain vroiEen with boots and shoes , at eonsideisbly le = s » han half price . The prisoner had left several psrer-ls 2 : the shop of Mr . Simpson , butcher , Tvonhstreet , 10 be forwarded to the women , who lived at Roue- hay , and oiie of them , directed to a Mrs ^" orcesier , and containing two pairs of shoes , 12 ccnsiqTience of having been taken to the wrong r-laee , ; fell into the hai-ds of the police .
UnJonanately Mr . and Mrs . Simpson , though confident in their own minds that the prisoner was the persti who had left the parcel , were nnw 5 ) liBg to . £ wt ' a . r to him , and on account of this link in the chain of evidence being wantirjg , it vras thought , there W 23 not sufficient evidence to commit the prisoner for trial at the Sessions . Mr . DarEton Lupton , i addressing the prisoner , said that there could be no - Bioral doubt of his guilt , and that he had robbed his Easter to a serions amount , and pointed out to him , the gross ingrstitnde of his conduct . He was then I 3 inBissed , Trith the understandiDg that the case fiaould be le-opened , should SDything transpire to j * arrajit Euch a coarse . The evidence then adduced Srought to lifiht the fact , that both Mrs . Dickenson » ad Mrs . Worcester ( to whom he had represented
hljEgelf aathe proprietor of the shop ) had pnrchased and paid for articles on the premises ; and it beine tke duty of the prisoner te keep an accoHnt of all moneys received by him , in a book kept for the purpose , an examination of this book was made by Mr . Wright and Mr . James , conjointly ; bat no discovery of the sums stated ( in one case half-a-crown , and ia the other tint e BhiUingB , ) could be found . Under these circumstances , therefore , Mr . Lupton was applied to , who , after hearing the statement of Mr . Wright to this effect , concluded that there was snEcieht evidence to warrant the re-appearance « f Kemplay , and he waa again taken into enstody . The whole of the testimony having been heard , ted the depositions taken , be was cosimittedfor trial oa bo A charges .

The " Disorderly House" Ncisakcb . —Ou Monday last , a young girl , who gave her name Elizabeth Bird , but whose real name was said to be Burden , wa . t charged before the magistrates at the Court Hou 3 e , by one of the nightly watch , with disorderly conduct in the street , at an early hour on Sunday morning . Her protectress , a Mary Greenwood , the keeper of a brothel in Bridge-street , was also placed at tho bar , on a charge of having attempted to rescue the " young lady" from the hands of the watchman . Elizabeth ' s conduct , as described by the watchman and other persons , was disgusting in the extreme ; and several respectable parties came forward to prefer complaints against Greenwood , for keeping _ ... _
a notoriously disorderly honse of the very worst description , where it wa 3 proved upwards of a dozen young 'ads , the eldest aot more than sixteen years of age , had been frequently known to ba congregated at untimely hours of the night . The magistrates , Mr . Grace and lir . Lupton , expressed their determination to put a stop to this , if possible ; and , after ordering an indictment to be preferred at the next sessions , they sent Miss Bird to Wakefield for a month , as a lewd and disorderly character , and ordered Greenwood to enter into recognizances with two respectable householders , in £ 20 each , to keep the peace for three months . In default of this , she was committed for iha ; time .
: Ste-jxi . vg Pbjat . —Oa Monday last , two young ¦ lads named Wm . Howgite , a / ias Joseph Gatehouse , \ an « i John Furness , were brought np at the Court ; House , on a charge of having sto ' en a piece of ! pri nt ed " calico . A policeman met the prisoners in I Sm negate , on Saturday , one of whom had the piece I of print under his arm . Oa being questioned he i said his father had bought it to make dresses for his f-mother and sister ' , but failing to give satisfactory 1 replies to other question ? , and being a known thief ,
h « was . taken iiito custody , his companion being permitted at that time to go . He was , however , subsequently , taken on another charge — that of pocket picking—and they were placed at the bar together ; the print "was identified by a shopman of Mr . Smith , draper , Briggate , as his master's property , an'd which had been stolen from within that gentleman's shop door , on Thursday or Friday . They were both committed for trial . Howgate has been previously convicted . Patwg dear for a "Duck . "— On Monday last , a man named Wm . Jackson , was brought up at the Court House , on a charge of having kicked over a stall in Yrear-lane , on Saturday niiibt , by which the whole stock-in-trade of Mrs . Garbutt , an extensive
dea . er in those savoury morsels entitled " half-penny ducks , " had been sent rolling in . the kennel . It would seem \ hat Jackson , about eleven o ' clock on the night in question , had , after drinking pretty freely , fallen hnD ^ ry , and visited the complainant's stall to get a relish ; he gave her a penny for his duck , and when be had eaten it , declared" that Bhehad not given him hiB change . This she' denied , and told him to feel in his pocket ? , when , although he said he ha . d not a halfpenny , one was found there . He then got vexed , and without more ado sent his foot amongst , the ducks , and away thfj flew , scattering the gravy" in all directions . The woman valued her loss at 3 s . 6 d .,-which , sum he was ordered to pay .
Boxing . —On Tuesday last , a man named Thos . Archer , residing at New Road 9 ^ 3 , wa 3 brought before the Magistrates at the cTurt House , on a warrant charging him with having been a principal in a prize fig ^ t , which took place on the " 28 ih of June , in a field belonging to Mr . AtkinsoD , at Spenlane , by which damage to some amount was committed . The name of the other man is Riley , but he hassctont of the way . The damage , as macJa out by tre witnesses , amounted to the sum of 12 ^ . one half of tfhich , with the costs , he was ordered to pay ; besides in addition entering into recognizances with t-wo sureties in £ 10 each , to keep the peace for twdre months . "A little Bmef AtrrnoBiTY . " —On Tuesday last , a persou moving a respectable sphere of life , appeared in the dock at the Co-art House , the . charge against him , as entered on the police sheet , beinjj an assault on a watchman . When the ca ? e was
called on , the accused party presented himself before the bench with a pair cf the mo ^ t awful-looking black ejes it is possible to imagine ! The magistrates appeared struck when they beheld the plight he was in , and mere so when his accuser , a watchman , named David Eell , did not tven present the appearance of a mark . Bell :-wore quite cool . y that he found the prisoner in company with a woman in Grojge-s'reet , ai four o ' clock m the mornh'g ; they were making a noise , and he desired tr . em to deMSt , upon wJy . ch he was struck by the prisoner in inc face . He then took him into custody , vrhen ha became very violent , and tiu * vr himself oa the ground , declaring he would not go to prison . la Vicarlane the y had a seTere irtrasgle and there another
watchman came to h : s assistance . Tvas , the other watchman alluded io , ' merely deposed to this . When a&ked by what means the prisoner ' s eyes had been brought t 6 " their present state , BeL replied that he had doce them himself ly Jailing doicn the prison itcps ! Mr . Rsad told this guardian of the night tha : such a thing was impossible , and that he mast hav 2 been mo ^ t savagely struck at . The accused tljelaied that he had not fallen down the prison sups , but that BjiJ , afier saying that he hai lontr watted him , arid would shea pay him cfi " , struck h : m iii tho prison yard , and his b ! - > od was there then to testify . The magistrate ? , after consulting together , fined the prisoner twenty shiiiiiiK 5 and Ci-sts , intimating that they shouki have fined him £ . 0 , but thty thoanht the waichman had execeedtd his du = y" by striking him in the manner
he had done . Tr . e fine was paid , and at the < . io ?^ of the business of tho day , Mr . Lupton , aidressin- ; the watchman , told h ; m tha : he bad evidently greatly exceeded his duty ; and a watchman was rever justified in rising greater severity than was recessaiy for his " -own safety , which it was qiite evident had been done in this case . If a proper statement of the case was made to the Watch Committee , it would probably lead to hjs dismissal . We hope , for the crt-dit of the ^ i ' orce , " that a statement of the case will be laid before the Watch Committee , and that such a punishment will be awarded to the brute as he richly deserves . He is evidently not fit to be entrusted with the powers which his present Eiluitipn confer . * , and the sooner he is deprived of the means of doing mischief the better . We think the magistrates ought to ha-re made a representation of the cirenmstanees to the Watch Committee .
Murderous Assault . —On Sunday forenoon , a quarrel took plac « in a house of ill fame in Yorkstreet , kept by a Mrs . Thompson , between a man named Thomas Carra'l , aiid a girl named Ana M'Cartiiey . Carrall , it appears , was drunk , and some unpleasantness had arisen in consequence of the female's mother wishing hrr dar . t ; htc r m-t to have auything to do with him . He had found this om , and declared if he conld not hare her , nobody els ? should . He then se : z d a Tczot . znti before he could be prevented , hna drawn it acro-sthe unformaate girl ' s throat , who fell , weltering ia blood . Tne screams of the women in tho hou-e
alarmed the neighbourhood , by whom two watchmen wholi ^ ein the samestr ^ et were called in . On inquiry forthernan theyfy . ni ; dhchao ^ 'one-upstairs , auowhen they wem there they found tt-at he had at-. eraptci to cu ; his own throat also . Ho was laid on the floor blescing - proiusfcly . Mr . Ward , surgeon , was immediarely called , who rendered every necessary aid , and the man was ? oon aft > -r removed in cuiiudy , his wound being on ' y superficial . The -wov . nd on the throat of the \ soai 3 n was at first considered dangerous , but by tho skill of the surgeon hopts ar > eow Btertained that her life will be spared . Carroll was Erout-h : before the magis . 'rares on Mouday , and remanded until the woman is capable of oy-pearijig

The counties of Delaware and Ulster , fifty to one hundred mileB west of Catskillt on the North River , offers the best prospect to the settler—good land and fine health on the mouutaias . To these people we say , go to the mountainous parts of Delaware and Ulster , arid see the Scotch * a& Welch settlement in the yioinity of Delhi .

CARIiISLE . —U . NPOPULAR 1 TY OF THE Ni ^ W Poor Law . —A numerous meeting of the ratepaiuit * of the township of Rickergate took placo in--the Parish Church , on Friday last , Mr . John Andrew in the chair , to tike iiuo eoasjder . uion the propatty « l making a new valuation of the property in tix towniiiip , wheu it was uaauimou ^! y agreed that no new valuation was neee ^ ary , more especially as a very correct one had been made a few years ai ; o . A Committee ! wad th < 11 appointed to examine the ran : and other books belonging to the towni-hip , with a view to atcerain tho difference of the expenco of work » ag the Ise . w Poor Law as compared with the o ' . d ; and to m ^ EiorialL-e the Board of Guaruians , praying tbat step .- ; should be immediately tat . ¦ 11 to separate the township of Rickergate from the Union , and obtaiu for it the power to manago its owq pauptrs as formerly . This course has forced it-elf
upon the ratepayers , in cons . quenoe of the heavy iiicrtaseof their burthens under ihe operation of the ^ ew Poor Law , and it is expected that similar proceedings will be adopted by other places in the Union . This we consider very ominous as to the feelings of the ratepayers in general as regards the expensive working of the . New Poor Law , which the Whigs have so much applauded , but who now begin to feel the hardship ot' that accursed measure . There is probably no district where parish affairs were better managed than thev were h « re under tho old law ; and if the ratepayers had foreseen . th « eriJa which have now come upon them by the operation of the Kew Poor Law , they would never have allowed it to come into operation . It is not the ureat increase of pauper 3 , but tn ' e heavy < xpence of kf-eping a parcel of impudent and domineering official" , who are of no earthly use .
