      Death of Mb . Orde of 2 * cxnykirk . —We regret to state that this respected gentleman suddenly expired at Morpeth , on Sunday last , Mr . Orde was well known in the Sporting world as the proprietor of Tomboy , Bee ' s-Wing . and other celebrated racers . He was respected "for his private virtues , and he was honoured not only in Great Britaia but on the continent for a character which few has acquired—an honest and an honourable sportsman . He was at the great fete at Ravensworth- on the previous "Wednesday , and promenaded a considerable time on the lawn . He appeared in good spirits and conversed freely with all around . Mr . Orde would be upwards of seventy years of age .

      Metallic Cobfses . —A paper was read at the late meeting of the Paris Academy of Sciences , containing the extraordinary proposition from a M . Carney , to employ the galvanoplasric process , after embalmment , for the preservation of the human body after death ! The idea , however extraordinary It my appear , is said not to be new , and that beautiful specimen ? are to be seen of small animals , birds , insects , &c . which have been thus preserved . English Newspapers is China . —An English newspaper has been lately established in Hongkong ; called the Hongkong Gazette , and conducted by a gentleman until recently residing in London . It is intended soon to commence one in the Chinese language . Indeed , the Gazelle sometimes contains extracts in that strange and extraordinary language . The Chinese are represented as very anxious and persevering in their efforts to learn English , as well as to learn all relating to this country .

      The Rural Police . —At the General Quarter Sessions held on Tuesday at Lewes , fifty-seven petitions from various parishes -in Eas : Sussex were presented to the magistrates for the abolition of the rural poliee force . Several of them referred to the inefficiency of the system , and the enormous expence entailed upon the county . The petitioners also urged that the Parish Constables' Act , just come into operation , was amply sufficient for the protection of the rural district . Rather Uncommon . —Two females have been committed to the Ruthin gaol during the present week upon charges somewhat nnusual , at least , against the softer sex , viz ., Amelia House , charged on the oath of John Roberts with feloniously firing a pistol at him , at Wrexham , with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm . Also Jane Williams , committed on the oath of Robert Owen , for having stolen a mare in tie parish of Lantisilio , on the 7 th instant , the property of the said Robert Owen . — Carnarvon Herald .

      Escap * op a Cojwict . —On the removal of the prisoners from the Town Hall at the close of the sessions on Friday evening , % convict , Wm . Harrison on whom sentence of transportation for seven years ' had joss been proaoucced , contrived to elude the vigilance of bis keepers and make his escape . The prison van , it appears , drew up at the real of the Town Hall for the purpose of carrying back the prifioners to the boroagh gaol . The custom on buch occasions is to have all tbe prisoners handcuffed . Harrison , when within a few feet of the van , slipped his handcuff , and , mixing with the crowd which pressed round the prisoners , got clear off . A

      bvst&nder , who observed Ms motions , toid the circamstance to some of the officials , who told the busy body to mind his own business . The van- moved off towards the borough gaol , nor was Harrison mis-ed until ic arrived at the place . Then , on counting the heads , the most interesting of the group was fonnd to be absent without leave . The alarm was given , and the borough and county constabulary scoured the country in all directions . A person answering his description was traced on Saturday to Melton . He was Been in an exhausted state , loitering on the road without a cap . All efforts for his apprehension as jet have proved unavailing . —Ipswich Express .

      Child Murder . —Some sensation has been created at Croydon within the last few days on account of the discovery of the body of a fine male infant in the water closet of a house in the Addiseombe-road , nearly opposite the police-station . It appears that a youDg woman named Anne Cooper , who was servant to the lady occupying the house , had for some time past appeared to be in a bad state of health , but no suspicion was entertained that she was in the family way , and she Jeft her place about three weeks ago to go home to her friends , who live at Bromley . On Thursday evening , in consequence of information that be received , Inspector Collier , of the P division , accompanied by Sergeant Prendergast , went to the house in the Addiscombe-road , and there discovered the body in the situation described . Mr . Neville , a medical gentleman of Croydon , was called in to examine the child , but in consequenoe of Us decomposed state it was impossible to ascertain whether

      there were any external marks of violence- — Upon the body being opened , however , it was found that the liver was raptured , and it was covered with a large dot of coagulated blood , and these appearances were attributed by Mr . Neville to some external violence , such as a fall or a kick inflicted while the child was alive . The girl Cooper was then taken into custody , when she admitted that she had had a child , and said it was a bad job , and she did not know how ahe came to throw it down the privy . The coroner ' s jury returned a verdict to the effect that the child was found dead with marks of violence upon its person , bat that there was not sufficient evidence to satsfy them that it had been born alive ; and on Saturday the prisoner was taken before Mr . Reid for examination upon the charge of concealing the birth , when , after a full inquiry into all the circumstances , she was committed to the county gaol to take hex trial at the spring assizes for that offence

      The Murder op Mr . Broomhead . —Evidence fcas . now been obtained whi > & throws strong light oa the fate of this gentleman . Our readers will recollect that he left Brill , on Ms way for Bicester , whioh place he did not r each , as expected , about the 1 st of October , 1841 . He represented the house of Broomhead , sickle and reaping-hook manufacturer , Bigway , near Shef field . Several days alter he left Brill information i ^ as given by a young man of the name of Pens , th ? £ the body had boon found in the river Ray ¦ ear Blackthorn . It was remsved to Arncott , a « oron era' inquisition was held , and a verdict of * F « nd drowned" returned . Oaly five sovereigns , with Borne silver , and his books of account were foosd on bins . His watch and monies , amounting to between . £ 300 and £ 400 , were missing Evidence * a 3 obtained , and three persons , Exekiel i Sarace ^ andtwo brothers of the name of Peon Cone of

      whonvgavethereportof the finding of the bod }) were apprehended . The Penns were sons-in- law of Savage . That Mr . Broomhead had come to aa nniimely end "no doubt was entertained—that he had been HJjndered was the general belief . The parties were t-o ifeavest aken their trials for the robbery at the " Jfarch Assises , at Oxford , » .. && One of the most ¦ material witnesses for the profj ^ ntion at tfle time of the trial was ill , a certificate to that effect was ; produced , and the bill against the parties was thrown ¦ oet . Subsequent circumstances tended 6 till more -strongly to lead to the supposition that Mr . William © roomhead had been & murdered man . Of course , on the bill being thrown out , Savage and the two Penns were released . On Saturday last , Inspector -J . Mellon , of the city of Oxford police , received information in Oxford of the most valuable

      description . The witness was taken before the magistrates , and privately examined at the . County Hall : from his evidence warrants were granted against Thomas Colliss , of Aston , near Bampton , Oxon , and Ezekiel Savage ( who had been before in custody on the charge ) . Savage was apprehended at Blackthorn , by Gobie , one of the Bicester constabulary . Colliss was apprehended by Inspector Melton , at Aston . On Sunday the prisoners were examined at Merton College , before Dr . Marsham , and remanded till last Monday morning . A warrant w » s also issued for the apprehension of a third party . On Monday the men were again remanded till Saturday ( this day . ) The evidence already obtained leaves no doubt as to Mr . Broomhead ' s fate : that evidence it would not be prudent to give in the present state of the proceedings .

      Capture of an Outlaw . —Ingenious Concealing Place . —An individual of the name of Forbes who was outlawed sometime ago , and whom we mentioued some weeks since as being suspected of various theftB in Strathspey , was apprehended the other day by Mr . Macbean . He was found at his father ' s , in Lymereach of Dalraddy , parish of Alvie , concealed in a most ingenious manner . A large peat stack , at the end of the house , apparently solid and substantial , fcad a chamber formed in its centre , in which the outlaw had his residence . There was

      no visible opening , but tbe means of entrance was a matter of too much importance to be disclosed to every casaal gazer . In the back of the prisoner ' s bed was a board , capable of being drawn out at pleasure , and , behind it , an aperture made in the wall gave admission to the fugutive into his subterranean residence , whither he escaped on t- ' e slightest warning . He was suspected , however , of being in the neighbourhood , and a ; length tho suspicion lighted on the proper place , and led to his apprehension . — Rossshire Advertiser .

      Dbeadful Disaster at Sea . —Intelligence of the following disaster , attended , there is some reason to fear , with the loss of the crew of the vessel run down , with the exception of one man , the writer of the subjoined statement , reached this city on Saturday . It appears that the brig Dundonald , of Troon , D . M'Nicol , master , which sailed from this port on Tuesday evening for Troon , laden with ballast , came , shortly after her departure , in contact with the schooner Kirby , laden with slates from Dudden , a small seaport on the borders of Lancashire and Cumberland . The only particulars that we have yet learned are contained in the letter at foot , written by one of the crew of the Kirby , which letter he handed to the pilot authorities at Passage of Waterford , when he arrived in the Maid of Mostyn : it

      is to be remarked that the letter is not signed with the writer ' s name . The Dundonald took her departure from Hook Tower at eight o'clock on Tuesday evening , and her collision with the Kirby occurred about three hours after , and about sixteen miles from the Hook . We learn that the night was rather cloudy , but that the sea was Emooth , with a light breeze . While we anxiously await some further intelligence , and in particular the version of the occurrence to be given by the Dundonald , we should think that it appears at least somewhat probable , from the foliowicg letter , that the Kirby and the remainder of the crew went down : — " This is to certify . that the schooner Kirby , of DuddeD , was bound ' on her passage from Dudden to Youghal , with a cargo of slates , and on Tuesday , tbe lhhof October , betwixt

      the hours of ten and twelve p jn ., the brig Dundonald , of Troou , and the said schooner , got entangled with cue another about a mile to the southward of the Connibegs Light-ship , when the master of the schooner called out to the brig , ' You will run us down ; ' they said , ' Put yonr helm down , ' and immediately the vessels struck , when our master called out , She is going down—run , save yourselves if you can . ' With that I left the helm , and ran forward and got hold of the brig ' s bobstay along with my shipmate , but I do not know whether he wci , t overboard or not . There were none got aboard oi the brig but myself . There was one of the brig ' s crew assisted me in getting over the bows . When I got on deck I heard my master eay , 'Oh dear Captain , stand by us , ' and he gave him no answer ,

      but was giving orders to his men abont his jib boom , for it was carried away . I kept looking towards the schooner , and as near as I can calculate I saw her about 20 minutes , and the last words I heard my captain say , were ' Oh my dear wife . ' I went to the captain of the brig , and said , ' You would better stand towards her , ' and he said , 'What , good can I do \ Let ns get our own jib-boom in . ' I wanted him to put me on hoard the Lightship but he would not do it , and I remained on board of her till Thursday , the 13 th . when I saw a schooner standing in for the Tuskar light . I asked the captain if he would allow hi 3 men to pull me aboard of the schooner , and he said it was a day ' s work , she was so far off , and two of the men said they would

      go , and he Eaid , ' Very well , call the hands up . ' So we lowered the boat and pulled towards the schooner , and made signal to her , and she hove to until we came up to her , which we found to be the Maid of Mostyn , Captain Edwards , bound to Ross , and I asked a passage from him , and he told me to come aboard . It wa 3 3 p . m . then . She was about seven miles to the E . N . E of Tuskar Light . " We have not learned the name of the writer of this statement . It appears that he was a north of England man , and has gone to Youghal , in the expectation ef finding the schooner was able to prosecute her voyage . We trust that the expectation will be realized . Her crew consisted of the maEter and three men , and it appears ihat the master ' s wife was also on board . — Woierford Mirror .

      arrived at Kingroad , Bristol , on Wednesday night , at half-past eleven o ' clock , we have received New York papers to the 29 : h ult ., being fourteen days later than previous advices . The Great Western brought thirty-seven passengers , amongst whom was Lord Morpeth , who returns to his own country in good health and spirits . The news from the United States is of a very inanimate character . The newspapers are chiefly occupied in discussing the prospects of the contending parties for the next Presidential election . Mr . Clay is to be the

      Whig candidate , and Mr . Tyler will have the support of the Democratic party . The Americans appear perfectly satisfied with the Ashburton treaty , and congratulate themselves on the prospect now of improvement uv their monetary and mercantile ) affairs , though at present there is bui little sign of change , the markets being in much the same state as by the advices of the Columbia . There is , however , very important news from Canada ; Sir Charles Bagshot has made an almost entire change in the members of the executive government . Mr . Lafontaine has been appointed Attorney-General for the East , and Mr . Baldwin for the West districts . Other changes have been made .

      The Quarteblt aceount of the revenue has just been issued , and the aspect is not very cheery . Far otherwise indeed . The total income for the year ending October 10 , 1842 , is £ 45 , 269 , 927 , showing an increase of £ 355 , 981 upon the parallel year in 1841 . So far so good ; but in the comparison of the quarters in . the two years ending in October , a decrease in the present year of £ 67 , 473 , appears to exist . Ther © is an increase on the last quarter , ending July 5 , 1842 , of £ 447 , 730 , but of this £ 313 , 844 consists of the property tax .

      AGGREGATE MEETING OF THE LEEDS MUNICIPAL ELECTORS . On Thursday at noon , a pnblic meeting , attended by large numbers of the Municipal electors and others was held in the Vicar ' s Croft ; Mr . William Brook in the chair . The Chairmah announced the business of the meeting by reading the placard convening it , and then observed that it behoved all classes of Municipal Electors , and the working men in particular , to do all they could to stop the extravagance which was going on in the Town CouneiL Indeed if the working classes wished to make any impression upon the government it must be throngn tbe medium of the Town Councils . The chairman called attention to the triumph gtined by the Chartists in the election of churchwardens , and exhorted the working men of Leeds to stand forward upon principle only , looking neither to Whig nor Tory , bat to fight out in their own persons the battle which they had so nobly begun in the election to which he had alluded . Mr . Thomas Beaumont moved the first resolution , in effect , as followB . - —

      Untitled Article

      That the meeting viewed with feelings of disgust nd indignation , we mannec in which the Town Council had so f&amefally > squandered away the people ' s money , wifttoat . rogard to the object for which it was granted . They also entertained the same opinions respecting the despotic manner in which the Watch CSommittee had held its meetings in " secret , and also to the great expence of an unoenstitatioBal and unnecessary day polioe , as well as of tbe proposition of th * Council to purchase the tolls of the bridges . The resolution concluded by recommending the meeting to vote for none bat honest and independent men , pledged to the Charter , and to carry out the principles of true economy to the very letter .

      Mr . Bbiggs seconded the motion , and rated Mr . Siansfeld , Mr . George Goodman , and others , for their apathy and indifference , in not carrying out their previously expressed opinions . Mr . Joshua Hobson then addressed the burgesses at some length , stating that they had been called upon to express their opinions respecting the good government of the town , through the means of the Town Council ; and that they had been convened on that occasion because the time drew nigh when the burgesses would be called upon to exercise that privilege with which the law invested them , viz . to elect their representatives in the Town Conucil . There could be no doubt that upon the character of the men who represented them in the Council would mainly depend tbe good or bad government of the

      town ; and as the burgesses had the election of such men in their own hands , they could blame no one but themselves if the local government was not a good one . ( Hear , hear . ) Municipal government was good , because it was self government . It was purely a responsible one ; for though it possessed the power to tax the inhabitants and also to spend the money afterwards , yet tbe burgesses had a corrective in their own hands for in the month of November in each year they had the power to elect : and if one set of men had betrayed their trust or abused their power , the burgesses could choose another and a better set . Mr . Hobson then entered into a comparative statement of expenses under the old regime and the new . Tho expenses of constabulary in the year

      1836 amounting to the sum of £ 4 , 368 8 s ., while in the last year it was £ 8 , 455 12 s . lOd . —( hear , and shame !) He then alluded to the wilful extravagance of the Council in giving Mr . Eddison £ 500 a year , when it had been proposed that another gentleman should perform the same duties for £ 100 ; and besideB this , it had been propoced to give Mr . Eddison £ 300 a year more , aa Law Clerk under the Improvement Act . Another fact worth notice was that of the Councils' having given Mr . Whitehead and another person £ 300 a-year for duties which Mr . Whitehead himself had offered to undertake for £ 150 , thereby carrying out a principle so different

      from that which would guide them in private transactions ; for it would be just as reasonable for any individual member of the Council to say to a clerk who offered himself fcr a pound a week , " no , I will not give you one pound , but you shall have two "—( loud cheers and laughter)—Mr . Hobson then alluded to the old reason for requiring a reform in the corporation , viz . a desire that their proceedings should be open , and noc secret , and after exposing many of the absurdities of the Town Council , concluded by observing that the object of the burgesses should henceforth be good Government and not party ascendancy . ( The resolution was then put and carried . ) Mr . Barron proposed the next resolution , —

      That this meeting cannot too highly commend the noble stand the men of Hunslet have taken in bringing forward as their candidate , at the election on the 1 st of November next , Mr . Joshua Hobson . This meeting would call upon them to use every exertion to carry him triumphantly , and would express its opinion that he is the only candidate before the people whom they can recognise as their candidate ; and that he is highly qualified to effect an alteration in the Council Chamber , both on account of the general knowledge he possesses , and his firmness and determination to withstand the enemies of the people . This meeting canuot but denounce the unprincipled and hypocritial conduct of the Whigs in bringing forward a candidate to oppose Mr . Hobson , and would call

      upon every honest man to scout it as it deserves , and then their paltry endeavours will end in infamy and disgrace . That it is the opinion of this meeting hat the Chartist body ought to take a determined ttand upon the present occasion , and ' s et that the only man in whom they can place any confidence be returned , and that it be expressed to the different Whig Committees that unless they will cause their candidate to be withdrawn at Hunslet , and support Mr . Hobson , they will not assist them either directly or indirectly , but will start candidates of their own principles in every ward and poll them to the last man . " He supported it with appropriate remarks , which we have not room for . Mr . John Hargraves seconded the motion , which was carried on a show of

      hands . Mr . Hofiso . v returned thanks . A deputation , consisting of Mr . Brooks , Mr . Thomas Beaumont , Mr . Wm . Barron , Mr . Francis Jackson , and Mr . John Briggs was then appointed to wait upon the Whig Committees in every ward , with the previous resolutions ; and a vote of thanks to the Chairman having been carried by acclamation , the meeting dispersed . Since the above meeting was holden , the deputation have waited upon some of the Whig Committees , in accordance with the instructions of the meeting . Amongst the rest , they have waited upon the Hunelet Whig Committee , and communicated to them the resolutions come to at the aggregate meeting of Burgesses . Tho result was , after a few minutes' consideration of the matter , the passing of the following resolution by the Committee : —

      " That this Committee , having pledged itself to Mr . Arthington , cannot consistently withdraw him as a candidate in favour of Mr . Hobson , a non-resident and stranger in the Ward ; and are of opinion that Mr . Arthington , from his known high character and long residence in this township , has far stronger claims upon the burgesses of Huuslet . " During the conversation which took place between the Deputation and tho Committee , it was broadly stated by a member of the Whig Committee , in answer to an observation that a continuance in their opposition and determination to divide the ranks of the Reformers , would end in the return of a Tory , that the Whigs would much sooner teeTories in the Council than Chartists ! The people , then , have but one course before them to start candidates in every Ward in the borough , and poll for them erery vote they can muster . They

      must show that the power they possess can be used for other and better purposes than tho return of Whiga , who would sooner see Tories returned than Chartists ! They must make a beginning for themsel ? eB 1 Hitherto they have only been chained to the car of Whiggery , and dragged through the mire at election times to swell a Whig majority . They have consented to this under she idea that it was the duty of all Reformers to " merge their minor differences , " and " unite" to " keep ihe Tories out : " and now they see the honesty of the Whigs in raising that cry : for the very first time the people ask i ' o have one of their own men returned , the Whigs turn round upon them , and declare to their teeth , that they , would sooner 6 ee the Council Chamber filled with Tories than see one out-and-out Chartist there . If the people submit to this in » ult without resenting it , they deserve to be spit upon for ever !

      "' Prisoners should be handcuffed , if they be charged with any serious offence , or if they be ptrsons of notoriously bad , orsuspirtotis character , or if there be any reasonable doubts to apprehend an escape , or rescue . Females , or old , or infirm prisoners , are not to be handcuffed . '" "In what respect did the Rev . Mr . Bill come within the category of the individuals who might be handcuffed . The charge against him was not a felony , which is , we suppose , In the mind of the constable tantamount to a serious offence . He could not be said to be an individual of a notoriously bad , or suspicious character , and there were no grounds to apprehend an escape ox rescue . Even supposing the charge against him to amount to high treason , we do not see , in the preliminary stage , the necessity for placing handcuffs upon him . unless there was the

      apprehension of a rescue . We admit the policeman ' s first duty is , to secure tho safe custody of the prisoner . That it was in the power-of the Leeds constabulatory to have effected , without placing a manacle upon that hand , which must be so often uplifted in prayer . We know nothing ot the Rev . Mr . Hill personally , — we have never seen him—and as to his political opiDions , we think them most mischievous , and have sedulously opposed them ; but still we cannot avoid saying , that we lead with feelings of the deepest indignation tbe treatment that he experienced from thoBe who were the mere instruments of Tory

      power-By snoh conduct as this Toryism has not degraded bira ; but It has laid in store for itself a deep and growing accumulation of tbe public scorn and detestation . That base miscreant , Louis Philippe , thought he could lower the character of the press by sending his victims , the editors of the Toulouse papers , chained by the neck together through France . Never did we expect that English Tories would have copied the vile example of Louis Philippe . They have done so—and while Louis Philippe sita but upon a tottering throne , we tell Sir Robert Peel that the Britiah Press will never forget , will never forgive the indignity to journalism , which he has sanctioned in the treatment of the Rev . Mr . Hill . That editor's manacle

      shall yet be dashed against the frill and corrupt materials of which his political strength is composed , and crumble them to pieces . By that one act , he and his myrmidons have violated all the rulea of society , and all the courtisies of political warfare , and henceforth war is declared between them—he must put down the < presB , or the presB will put him down .

      MANCHESTER . —The Chartist Mechanics held their weekly meetiug in the Large Room , Brownstreet , on Thursday evening last , to hear a lecture upon the present state of the Chartist movement , by Mr . William Dixon . The lecture was well attended by a respectable audience , in fact , notwithstanding the persecution that is raging at present in this part of the country , the room was crowded to suffocation , and all were determined to stick to ihe Charter in defiance of persecutions , prosecutions , or intimidation . At the conclusion of the lecture , several gentlemen came forward and took the books to receive subscriptions for the General Defence Fund .

      Carpenters' Hall . —Mr . W . Jones , of Liverpool , delivered two powerful and soul-stirring addresses , the one in the afternoon upon the present prosecutions , and the other in the evening on practical Chartism . Ten individuals were added to the ranks of the calumniated and despised Chartists . The collections in support of the Hall amounted to M 03 . 6 d ., -exclusive of a very liberal sum for the General Defence Fund . At the dose of the leoture , Mr . James Leach came forward , and was received with loud cheers , mingled with expressions of sympathy for himself and his numerous family , in unmerited persecutions . After the cheering had subsided , Mr . Leach addressed the meeting for a short time , exhorting them to perseverance in the good cause , and

      expressing his willingness to bear with fortitude whatever punishment his and their oppressors might think proper to inflict upon him , for bis advocacy of tho immutable principles of justice to every mau . He then administered a severe castigation upon the base and traitorous scoundrel who rfjoices in the name of Griffin , and who , by the bye , has made the fabulous monster of the ancients into a modern reality ; and concluded by bidding his hearers farewell , at the same time reiterating his oft-declared determination never to relax in his exertions till the people were restored to their long-lost rights . No conception can be formed of the enthusiasm which prevailed throughout the immense mass of living beings who occupied the Hall .

Aston-Stbeet . — There was a good assemblage at this plaoa on Sunday night , with the expectation of hearing a , leoture from Mr . Farren , but that gentleman not making his appearanoe , his place was admirably filled by that talented young man , Mr . Gammage , of Northampton . He began by observing that the Government was strong through the apathy of the people . The Chartists had the power to put down Whiggery , and surely they had the power to put down Toryism . We have not forgotten the time when the people of Ireland voted according to

      their conscience . The blood y massacres of Peterloo and Rathcormac were still lresh in our memories . What have they now dene with the standing armies of military and police ? They have indiscriminately butchered men , women , and children in the public streets . They have made a decisive effort to destroy our press . Will they cruBh the Star 1 No . If they do , ten Stars , brighter , if possible , will arise . It will be chargeable upon the people , if they permit so flagrant an outrage upon the people to be perpetrated . The enemies ef the suffrage declared the working men were too ignorant to exercise so important a trust with propriety and with benefit to themselves . Admitting this to be a fact , the charge came with bad grace from parties receiving twenty millions yearly with tho ostensible object of educating the people . It was evident from the indifference

      with which they looked upon the brutality and ignorance which surrounded them on all sides , that they cared more , a vast deal , for the pence than the people . He concluded by a powerful appeal on behalf of the imprisoned victims to Whig and Tory villany , and trusted they would not permit them to be sacrificed for want of necessary support . He was received throughout with marks of the warmest approbation . On Monday , Mr . Murliss in the ohair . Mr . Talbeit read an address from Mr . G . White to the Chartists of Birmingham . Mr . Thorpe read the leading artioles of the Star—after which a discussion took place upon the propriety of supporting Mr . White , in preference to those who have shown themselves to be enemies to the numerous and oppressed c ' ass from whom they received snoh efficient assistance . The balance sheet of the Association was then read , and auditors appointed *

      Notice . —The Northern and Evening Stars will be read on every Sunday morning , at ten o ' clock , at the Aston-street room ; admission free . The Council of Aston-street have resolved that any parties wishing to lecture there must give the Secretary , William Selbut , 98 , Woodcock-street , a week ' s notice to that effect . Received from thb Chartists of Redditoh , from Mr . Penfield , for the Defence of Mr . G . White , tea shillings ; From Mr . Startin , thirteen shillings and sixpence , collected at the White Swan , New

      Johnstreet . The latter gentleman says , " I have fifty or more Stars , and would be glad to send them to Ireland or any where else where they are most wanted , if certain they will arrive at their destination , numbers which I have previously sent having been lost . Should any directions appear in the Star , I shall see them , at No . 12 , Baggott-street , Birmingham . " The committee for G . White ' s Defence , meet at 38 , Bromsgrove-street , on Tuesday evenings , at seven o ' elock , until further notice .

Business of importance will be brought forward . The Chartists of Leamington and Warwick have forwarded to Mr . O'Connor , for the National Defence Fund , the snm of ten shillings and sixpence , being the first fruits of the Bale of tickets in a raffle for a painting presented by Mr . Donaldson .

      Defence Fund . —Previous to his arrest , Mr . Harney , of Sheffield , remitted f our pounds from that town to the treasurer of the defence fund , namely , £ 3 . Us . from Figtree-Jane , and 5 s . from Woodhoase .

      Stocktos-on-Tees . —After the regular routine of business was gone through , on Wednesday evening , at the Chartist meeting room , Albion-street , a discussion took place as to what are the best means of obtaining the Charter in the most speedy manner ? It was then unanimously resolved that Mr . P . M . Brophy speak at Thornaby Green , at half-past ten o ' clock on Sunday morning , weather permitting Shonld the morning be unfavourable for an out-door meeting , Mr . B . will lecture in the Reading Room , Albion-street , where he will also lecture at half-past two o'clock in the afternoon , and at half-past six o ' clock in the evening . London . —A general meeting of the West End Ladias' Shoemakers was held on Wednesday evening , at the Temperance Hall , 50 , Tottenham Court

      Road , to reoeive delegates from the Trades' Delegates Committee , and to consider the propriety of forming themselves into a portion of the Chartist body , Mr . Shute was called to the chair . Mr . Armstrong Walton , delegate from the Trades' Committee , in a long and eloquent address , explained the benefits whioh Trades' Unions would derive from the attainment of political power , and was received with great applause . Mr . Skelton moved a very lengthy resolution , pledging the trade to join the Chartist body , and send delegates to the Chartist Trades ' Committee . Mr . Andrews briefly seconded the resolution . Mr . Burden moved , and Mr . Smithers seconded an amendment " That as a trade they should not join the Chartist body . " They approved of the principles of the Charter , but were fearful that it

      would cause the present Tory Government to again bring the combination laws into operation . Mr . Pascoe reasoned in a similar manner . Mr . Christopher ably supported the resolution , and after a long ini animated discussion a motion for adjournment was put and negatived . Some time was then spent in asceitaining whether those members whose subscriptions were not paid up should be entitled to vote , which being disposed of , the Chairman put the resolution to the show of hands , but the meeting was so equally divided , that tellers were appointed , and after a considerable lapse of time it was ascertained that a majority of fifteen were unfavourable to the resolution . A resolution was then moved , seconded , and carried unanimously , approving of the principles of the People ' s Charter , and pledging them to assist in

      carrying them nut , but at the same time making the Chartist body distinct from the trade association . This body of shoemakers is the most aristocratic in the kingdom , and the result of this meeting is considered an important triumph , no individual in the meating having the hardihood to oppose one single principle of the Charter . Chartist Haiters , Brown Bear , Soutuwark Bridge-Road . —This nourishing locality held its usual weekly meeting on Wednesday evening last , when four new members were enrolled ; £ 1 lQs . 3 d . was collected for the Victim and Defenco Fund . This is the fifth weekly subscription from this locality , making an average of fifteen shillings and sixpence per week . They have also manufactured a splendid hat for Dr . M'Douall , which is to be sent out to New York to him at the earliest opportunity .

      Reading . —At a meeting of the Chartists of this town , held on Monday last , Mr . Preston in the ohair , the following resolution was unanimously passed : — " That we , the Chartists of Reading , having taken into our consideration the peculiar circumstances in which our society is at present placed , fully approve of the conduct of tho Metropolitan delegate meeting in appointing an Executive Committee pro tern ., and are further of opinion that the pro tern . Executive Committee are entitled to , and do hereby receive , our hearty thanks for the patriotic and disinterested manner in which they have come forward , and issued their manlv

      STAFFORD SPECIAL COMMISSION . ( by express . ) Stafford , Friday Morning . ( From our own Correspondent . J Wm . Arthur O'Neilwas liberated at ten o ' clock last night , Mr . Page and Mr . Turner becoming bail for his appearance at the next assizes . He would have been liberated at an early hour in the " morning , had Mr . Hibbert , the Birmingham attorney for the prosecution , been in attendance according to previous arrangement between him and Mr . O'Neil ' s attorney . But for some reason best known to Mr . Hibbert , he neglected his promise , and left Mr . O'Neil in Stafford gaol to the hour mentioned . Upon the opening of the Courts this morning , a strong proof of " the turning the tables" showed

      itself in the disoharge of five prisoners . Tbe fact if , there is a break down of the witnesses for the prosecution . One fellow , who has been eighteen times examined as a witness , has completely tripped up . This fellow , with his face concealed with a crape , followed the turnouts from place to place , and while he seemingly took a part in their proceedings , was marking out his viotims . Another dealer in human blood has been heard to declare that he calculated making £ 1 , 500 by the affair . Another wretch who has offered his services to do the needful , has actually been a ringleader in an attack by the mob on a police office . This fellow was a witness in seven cases . It must ; however , be admitted that the Crown prosecutors do not shew any great willingness to encourage such wretches .

      It was dreadful to hear the cries of the families of tho men sentenced to transportation in the Chief Justice's Court on Wednesday . Yesterday , Elijah Simpson and William Turner were sentenced to twenty-one , and Edward Williams and SilBton-to ten years' transportation , for the destruction of Mr . W . Parker ' s house . At half-past nine o ' clock at night the following prisoners were convicted for a riot at Thomas Allin ' s house , namely—James Oldham , Joseph Brook , Thos . Farrell , Moses Dean , Eli Smith , and George Nixon , all of whom were sentenoed to eighteen months' imprisonment and hard labour each . William Bam ford and John Feal , who pleaded guilty to the same offence , were sentenced to 12 months each and hard labour .

      Before Mr . Baron Parhe . Philip Hanson , and W . Mellor , were convicted of a burglary , in Mr . Billing's house , at Burslem , and sentenced to five years transportation . The following sentences were also passed : — Joseph Wardle , three months imprisonment and hard labour ; Hannah Boon , two months and hard labour ; Henry Hilliard , six months and hard labour ; Samuel Mugh , three months and hard labour ; John Steel , nine months and hard labour ; Edwin Wilkinson , six months and hard labour ; Andrew Clewcs , and Thomas Hughes , six months and hard labour . ¦

      ( Before Mr . Baron Rolfe . ) Absolam Nixon was sentenced to eighteen months ' imprisonment and hard labour ; Anne Lewis to eight months and hard labour ; Saunderson and Page to three months and hard labour ; Foster to two months and hard labour ; and several women to two months' imprisonment and hard labour . Poor Taylor , the old man mentioned in another column , as having complained to Mr . Baron Parke , againBt a fellow named Masser , who under pretext of defending his daughter obtained from him £ 2 5 a ., appeared before the court yesterday evening , and stated that Masser did not refund the money as ordered . His Lordship , Mr . Godson , Q , C , and Mr . Sergeaut Ludlow , consulted together to ascertain if he could be indicted , but it having appeared that Masser did not represent himself as an attorney , but merely as a person who would defend the prisoner , they could not act as they wished . Another

      case , of a similar kind , occurred before Lord Chief Justice Tindal ; two prisoners gave a fellow £ 2 5 s . to defend them ; but he neglected so to do . The Chief Justice directed that the fellow should be prosecuted by the Crown unless he proved that he did not act as it was repressnted he did . A third scoundrel got £ 8 , and actually advised his dupe to plead guilty . It is impossible to find language sufficiently strong to express the heartless rascality of those worse than scoundrels . It is to be hoped that the law will reach them , and that their names will not be allowed to disgrace the roll . - Report states that Mr . Ellis and his twentyfour fellow oonvicts will be brought np this day to receive sentence . If it be bo he is resolved , when called upon to say why judgment should not be passed upon him , to make an able defence in favour of Christian Chartism and his own conduct .

      It is dubious whether Mr . Cooper and Mr . Linney will be tried for sedition this Commission . It is supposed that Mr . Cooper , at least , will traverse till next assizes . Mr . Linney has been convicted of addressing an unlawful assembly . Perhaps his persecutors will be satisfied with this one conviction , and not press another indictment against him . Several heavy cases come on this day ; and the Judges are making snoh arrangements that it is expected that the Special Commission will terminate , on Monday . -

      Dangerous Conqeevb Matcbbs . —Too great cara cannot be used in the selection of these matches , which are very extensively the cause of mischief whioh is never made public A few -days Binco the window curtains in the parlour of a publichouse , in London-wall , were observed suddenly to break into a flame , which was ascertained to have been produced from a portion of the phosphorus thrown off a oongreve matoh by a person when light * ing a pipe .

      which are hawked so plentifully and cheap abont the streets , are the worst and the most to be guarded against , as , from the careless mode of their manufacture , there is always an excees of phosphorus ^ which , not being properly amalgamated with the mucilage , is very easily displaced . As the manufacture , which is very dangerous , can be carried oa even on a large scale with a capital of £ 3 or £ 4 , and there are individuals who advertise to teach the process for one guinea , the number of manufactures of this article in the metropolis is very considerable ; and , as the trade may be carried on in any part of the building , there is no doubt but that many neighbourhoods are very insecure from danger from this cause .

Heavy goods continue to be most enquired after , but as the season for these is now nearly at a close , they only go off very slowly . The Wool market is without variation .

      HUDDERSFIELD CLOTH MARKET TUESDAT , OCT . 18 . —Our market this day was thinly stocked with buyers yet low goods met with a ready sale and in . very fair quantities .

Barley has also suffered a similar decline , b"t Oats are unaltered in value . Our farmers are very loth to quit their Grain at present prices , and the business done , on the whole , is but trifling .

      Bedale Fortnight Fair , Oct . 18 . —Our . show of fat Beasts this morning was not very large , but quite equal to ''he demand ; the market was again very heavy .

      Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , Oct . 17 . — Since this day so'nnight there have arrived to this port 1698 qrs . of Wheat , and 2694 qrs . Barley , coastwise ; 2730 qrs . of Wheat , 5991 qrs . of Oats , 5731 loads of Oatmeal , and 1180 sacks of Flour . from Ireland ; the imports from abroad consist chielly of 7610 qrs . of Wheat , which are of course entered under bond . There is no change in the duties this week . The trade during the same period has been dull , with gomewhat receding prices generally . All descriptions of foreign Wheat are Id to 2 d and Irish new 3 d per bushel cheaper ; fine runs of tho latter have been Fold at 63 4 d to 6 s 6 d per 70 ibs . New Oats must also be noted 2 d per 4511 ) 3 lower ; very good mealiDg have been bought at 2 s 4 d to 2 s od per 451 ba . New meal at 21 s to 21 s 6 d per load , or Gd below the

      rates obtainable at the close of last week . No change is made in the quotations for Flour . Some parcels of English new Barley have appeared , the quality very fine ; they have brought 34 s to 353 per qr . Beans and Peas have excited little notice , and have barely maintained previous rates . Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Oct . 15 . —There has been very little passing in any article during the week , and , in the absence of demand , prices have had a downward tendency . The imports from Ireland to Liverpool and Runcorn form the chief object of interest ; those coastwise are unimportant ; and the arrivals from abroad are all

      entered in bond : the supplies from the interior are only to a moderate amount , but fully equal to the demand . The inquiry for either English or Irish Wheat at our market this morning was on a very limited scale , and we note a decline of 2 d . to 3 d . per 701 bs ,. on all descriptions . Flour was likewise in a very moderate request , and 40 i . to 41 s . per sack were extreme rates for superfine qualities ; whilst on middling and secondary parcels a reduction of fully Is . was submitted to , iu order to effect sales . Oat 3 were also dull sale , at a decline of Id . per 451 bs . ; and 22 s . 6 d . to 28 j . per load were tho utmost rates obtainable for choice cuts of Oatmeal , at which a fair extent of business was done .

      London Corn Exchange , Monday , Oct . 17 th . — From Essex and Suffolk there was a limited supply of Wheat , but a fair quantity of this article from Kent , with a moderate show of Barley , Beans , and Peas , from all these counties , and the fresh arrival of Oats was trifling , having only fwo vessels from Ireland since Friday , and tew from our own coast or Scotland . The importations of foreign grain have been very small siuce this day se ' nnight . The weather continues to be very dry , so much so as to stop Wheat sowing on many heavy soils . Notwithstanding the moderate quantity of English Wheat at the above market this morning , the trade for such was dull , but the beat qualities were not offered lower , and those from Essex although taken so slowly , were ultimately nearly all sold , whilst the Kentish hung on hand , and from this couuty the

      se eond ary sorts were quotod 1 s per quarter cheaper . Free foreign Wheat met a limited inquiry , and the business transacted in this description was , to a trifling extent , at irregular prices , but generally Is to 2 s per quarter below the currency of last Monday . Flour w » s much the same as latt week , ship nrrks being in low request . Choice malting Barley realised former rates , and met a fair demand , but the secondary samples were in limited demand , and rather lower . Fine new Malt was inquired for , and such brought full prices , and there was a fair retail sale for prime brisk old , whilst slack and inferior parcels were very difficult to quit at any reasonable figure , from so much of this sort offering . Beans and Peas realised quite as much money , and good samples taken freely . The Oat buyers hold off , an ?! as many vessels from Ireland are reported to be in the river , the transactions were more restricted than

      last week , and mostly confined to the consumers , who secured small quantities at 6 d to Is per qr under last Monday ' s currency . London Sjiith ¥ ield Market , Monday , Oct . 17 . —There were exhibited for sale here , to-day , twelve beasts from Holstein , which were decidedly the verj beat foreign supplies we have as yet seeD . These animals , the symmetry of which was good , resemble as nearly as possible our Scots . and were extremely gooa handlers . One of them was slaughterd for our inspection and we must Bay we were much surprised at the ripe condition in which they were found . Their weignt was about twenty stone per quarter , while that of the fat yielded by the one killed to-day was nearly thirteen stone of 81 b . The rates obtained were , we understand , about £ 18 per head , at which sum we consider them cheap . The number of beasts on sale from Germany , this morning , was thirty , and from Spain twenty , in the quality of which no material improvement on former receipts was apparent .

      THE LATE ARRESTS . " We warn the public that the present prosecutions at the special commissions trill be made Vie groundwork of Julure ads of Parliament . ' * But ' what is it that we find passing around ns ! Is it not tbe realization of that , which we long since prophesied , as the inevitable consequence of Toryism being triumphant ? The re-appearance of political spies—the harsh treatment of political offenders . We do not , of course , refer to the sentences passed upon those convicted of having vielated the law—and that a jury of their countrymen have determined on their oaths , are liable for their misconduct to the animadversion of the legally constituted tribunals . What we refer to , is the treatment of persons arrested on a

      particular charge—that charge being for a political crime , and when all that is required is their safe keeping by the police , until they are brought before a magistrate , for the purpose of either being bailed , or of being identified aa the persons against whom certain proceedings at law , are about to be taken . When , as in the case of Mr . Feargus O'Connor , or the Rev . Wm . Hill , the charge against them was solely of a political description , it might be expected with regard to the one , that directions should have been given by Sir Robert Peel or Sit James Graham , that be who had been a member of Parliament , and their equal , should have been treated , considering his health and his habits , and the courtesy due to a gentleman , and as respects the other , that be from bis situation , the editor of a newspaper—and by profession a Christian minister , might hare met with

      some courtesy , some tenderness , some delicacy Has this been done witb regard to either ! No Instead of that it is sickening to go through the details of the treatment experienced bj Mr . O'Connor ; and as to tbe Eev . Wm . Hill we find that he was manacled as if he were a common felon 111 What 1 suyman . no matter what bis situation or condition in life , to have the hawicnffii of a criminal placed upon hini , upon the mere charge of a misdemeanour , would be disgraceful to those who had sanctioned snch a proceed ing ; but thus to treat a gentleman and a clergyman is , we have no hesitation in saying it , most infamous —it la the pure Toryism of cruelty—it is tbe very brutality of cowardice . If we are not greatly mistaken the instructions to tbe police constables were grossly violated in the cue of the Ber . Wm . Hill , for those instructions as veil as we recollect , are to this effect : —
