ABderson , who for a large number of years has filled the office of chief clerk in the establishment , received from the Lords of the Treasury the appointment of post-master , vacant by the death of Mrs .

Beckett , Esq ., M . P ., the Hon . John Stuart Wortley , iL P ., and those of nearly every firm in the boTough .
SER 3 OCS Robbery . —On Sunday night last , about seven o ' clock , three well-dressed strangers in fashionable taglionis , went into the bar at Mr . Walker's , the Junction Inn , New . Road End , Leeds , and called for a glass of Epirits each , which they would drink neat . Mrs . Walker was in the bar alone , and the tbrre men arranged themselves , and stood so as to prevent her seeing into the passage which led to the staircase . They talked very loud , principally about horse dealing , and after their departure it was discovered that a confederate had , while this was going on in the bar , been busy in Mr . Walker ' s bed-room ,
in which a desk had been forced open by cutting the lock out , and from whence £ 30 in silver , two silver watches , and one gold watch had been stolen . The desk contains a nest of drawers , all of which had been . examined except two , and in one of these was deposited a sum of £ 60 in notes , and ten sovereigns , which the rascal had very fortunately overlooked . There were also several article 3 of silver plate , spoons , &c , in the desk , which though they had been disturbed , were left behind . We are sorry to hear that , as yet , no trace of the party has been since discovered .
Chabge of Stealing Coals . —On Monday last , three lads of the genus "bone grubbers , " were brought before Ralph Markland , and Wm . Smith , Esq ? ., at the Court House , on a charge of hvring , on Saturday last , and at various other times , filled their capacious and very convenient sacks frojx the coal waggons of the Old Staith Company . The prisoners had the disadvantage of being well-known to the offieers . They were observed on Saturday , by a person employed at the coal staith , riding on the buffers of the last waggon in a train proceeding from the pits ; he went to them , and they then dropped the coal they had taken and made off ; they were apprehended in the course of the evening , and it was shown that a regular trade was carried on by the prisoners , who . after having stolen jts many coals as filled a sack , were in the habit of dispesing of them at a cheap rate in Meadow-lane and the neighbourhood They were sent to the Hoosa of Correction for a a month each as vagrants .
Sheep Stolen . —During the night of Saturday last , a ewe ; -heep , marked " S , " was stolen from a field near Kirkstall Abbey ; the sheep was the property of Messrs . Beecroft , Butler , and Co ., of Kirkstall Forge , by whom a reward of £ 5 has been offered for such information as may lead to the conviction of the thieves . Stealing Watches . —On Monday last , a lad named William Hall , was brought before the magistrates at the Court House , on a charge of having stolen two silver watches , the property of his brother-in-law , James Ward Rider , a stuff singer , residing in High-street . The poor lad bears evident traces of being not exactly sane , and it would
apptar that at the death of his parents , there were four cottages left , to be divided between himself and three sisters , and tha « by some means , Rider , who had married one sister , had got half-a-crown a-week settled upon Hall , in lieu of his share of the property . He had lived for some time wilh Rider , bat latterly declared he had had no home , and had slept only in out-houses , or whers he could . Hs contended that the watches were his own , and there seems some reasons to suppose that one of them at ltast is so . The magistrates not being able satisfactorily to settle the dispute between the parties , left the case to the decision of a jury .
S- ' teausg Beep . —On Monday last , a man who said he came from Huddersfield , and professed to be an entire stranger in Leeds , was brought before the magistrates at the Court House , on a charge of having stolen a piece of beef , on Saturday nigbt , from the shop of Mr . Flowitt , butcher , Shambles . He wao observed by two lads to walk off with the beef and on being followed threw it away . He was taken into custody , and on the charge being preferred , attributed the affair to an accident , caused by his having had too much beer . Some of the officers in court , however , notwithstanding hi 3 protestations to the contrary , told the magistrates more about him than he seemed to like to have known , and he was committed to Wakefield House of Correction for two months .
Aggravated Assault . —On Tuesday last , Wm . Clarke , residing in Coper Cross-street , was brought before the magistrates at the Court House , by warrant , charging him with having committed an aggravated assault upon his wife . The poor woman bore evident marks of the punishment she had received , and the only excuse the brute had , was that "he had taken a little too much beer . " It appeared that they had been separated before owing to his violent conduct , but had got to live together again . The magistrates decided that he was to allow his wife " s . per week , to pay ihe expenses incurred , and to enter into recognisances himself in jJ 20 , and two sureties in £ 10 each , to keep the peace towards her for twelve months .
Caution to Innkeepers . —A lady-like woman , about fifty years of age , has been for some time living at the expence of the innkeepers of Leeds and the-neighbourhood , by quartering herself upon for sometime , and forgetting to pay her bills before her departnre .

Charlestown , near Ashton-under-Lyne , to celebrate his birtn .

After doing ample justice to all the good things of this world and the cloth withdrawn , Mr . John Mills was called to preside . A long list of appropriate toasts and sentiments was gWen and responded to , and the evening was spent in the most harmonious manner .

London Police . —Joseph Coles , an old sailor , was charged on Wednesday last , with begging . It appeared that the prisoner accosted several gentlemen on Tuesday night in Holborn , asking them for alms , and for doing so police constable 21 E took him into custody . The prisoner said he begged because it was an offence—anything before starvation . He had several times asked the policemen on duty in Holborn to take him to the Station-house , but they refused . He had traversed the greater portion of the Peninsula and India in the service of his country , and had been allowed only a pension of i-ixpence a day , which was continued but for twelve months . He was a native of Uppipgham , in Rutlandshire . Mr . Greenwood— ' I will send you for fourteen days to the House of Correction ; that is all I can do for you now . " Prisoner— " I am very thankful to your worship . May Gcd bless your Honour . '

Richmond . —At the meeting of the Council of the Borough of Richmond , on the 9 fh inst ., Henry Looks , Esq ., was elected Mayor for the year ensuing . ' ¦ ¦ Sevebe Sentences . —In the Kendal Mercury we nnd the following observations : — " There has during the past week been much comment upon what has been very generally considered the severity of the sentences passed by the magistrates upon the prisoners tried at the Kendal sessions on Saturday last . Out of eight convictions , four persons were condemned to transportation , for an aggregate period of 36 years . 1 wo of these cases were of the most petty and peddling description , those of Mary Kirkpatrickand T . Leak . Both offenders were stated by the bench to
have bad characters ; but what was the extent of their respective crimes \ The ene , it appears , had stolen a silk handkerchief from the person of a paramour , who nad taken her to a public-house for the vilest purposes , and the other had purloined ti ree pieces of brass , worth perhaps 5 s . from Dockry hall Mills . Looking at the circumstances , it would seem that not the offences , bat the character of the convicts , was punished , a course which we cannot but conceive dangerous in itself , and highly derogatory to justice . If the principle of punishing according to character , instead of crime , were to be admitted , who that had given offence to a magistrate could
hope , in case of a trumpery accusation being maintained against him , to escape being sent out of the country ? " But this severity is not all . '' There is , " says the writer , " another fact connected with one of the case 3 referred to—that of Leak—which has not . escaped observation . The prosecutors were the Messrs . Gandy , one of whom ( James ) qualified and took the oaths as a county magistrate so recently as the day before the trial . This gentleman not only appeared to press the charge against the prisoner , but 6 at upon the bench in his capacity of justice , and retired with the other magistrates to deliberate upon the sentences which should be passed .
Prison Manufactures . —Considerable dissatisfaotian is felt from the fact that hosiery , manufactured by prisoners in Jedburgh Castle , is sold in Glasgow at a price far below the ordinary value , and has a most injurious effect upon goods of xhat description , made under ordinary circumstance ? , by men who have not enjoyed the privilege of being convicted oi crime . —Gaieshead Observer . Glasgow . —Extraordinary Discovert and Remarkable Case of Fraud . —Considerable sensation has been created in town during the last few days , in consequence of the discovery of a piece of villany and fraud , which we rejoice to say , is but of rare occurrence in a commercial city . Our readers will recollect that , between three and four years ago , one
of the tellers of a bank in town , on balancing up the transactions of the day , found himself minus a Bum of one thousand pounds . The occurrence at the time gave rise to a good deal of speculation , as it wa » evident to the parties who were acquainted with the teller , and from the good character he possessed that he must have given the money in mistake to some one when making payments in the course of business . No one , in fact , had the most distant thought that he was guilty of making away with it . The question then was , who had got the money ; and notwithstanding that every means were used , no trace could be had , and after a time the search wat * abandoned as hopeless . The sum missing to the bank and tho matter may bs said
consequence was , that the sureties had to pay up the to have been forgotten till about the miiddle of last week , when , as we are informed , two idividuals who formerly carried on business together tn Glasgow , but who are at present bankrupts , having been drinking with some friends had a dispute , which becoming violent , both parties rotorted on each other in the most abusive manner , and latterly it came out that they , or one of them , in course of business with the bank referred to . had by a mistake on the part of tho tellsr , got upwards of one thousand pounds more than belonged to them , that , iu faot , they had got the sum which the teller found himself deficient of . This occurrence was instantly communicated to the bank , and immediate steps were taken to apprehend the parties referred to . One of them was secured on the following day , but the other has
since left the town . It U thought , however , from tho clue chat has been got of his movements , chat he is by this time in the custody of one of our most active criminal officers , who has been despatched in pursuit of him . At present , and for obvious reasons , we decliue giving names , aud the additional particulars with which we have been furnished . Tho parties said to be guilty were well known in the bubiness which they followed , and in the community generally . The subject has excited the most lively interest in commercial circles , verifying , as it is likely to do , the old English adage . " when rogues cast out , honest men get their own . " We heartily congratulate | the young man connected with the bank aud his friends upon the discovery , even though not one farthing of the money should ever be recovered . —Glasgow n / trrmirlt ' -

book . Mr . M ; Cartney also detailed tea Six Points of the People ' s Charter , which being carried , the people themselves would then return to the House of Commons such men as would carry oat to their fullest extent tbu benefits of free trade- Mr . Fiti ? erald replied to Jlr . M'Cartney , and admitted that his political theory was excelleut , but denied that it was practicable .

Mitchell , and carried by acclamation , — " That the best thanks of the working man of Stockport are pre-eminently due , and are hereby tendered , to Mr .

TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION AT A GRINDING WHEEL , BY A BARREL OF GUNPOWDER . ( From the Sheffield Iris of this day , Nov . \ 2 lh ) About two o ' clock on Monday morning , the inhabitants of Abbey Dale , near Sheffield , were suddenly awoke by a loud noise and violent shock , sufficiently strong to Bhske the houses adjoining Mr . Dyson's grinding wheel , the building containing which was shortly discovered to have beeu literally blown up with gunpowder . One of ihe workmen , named William Pierce , lives in a cottage , only separated from the grinding wheel by a workshop , aud a doorway standing at right angles to it , and to the buildiug which was blown up .
Mr . Dyson is a Bcythe manufacturer , carrying on an exten .- 'ive business at Abbey Dale , and residing about 300 yards from the premises before mentioned . Upon Price , the forgeman , hearing the noise , he aud his wife immediately jumped out of bed , and fetched Mr . Dyson to see what was the matter ; and upon examining the grinding wheel , it presented a scene that is rarely wituessed in a country not at war . The building is about eighteen yards in length , by eight or nine in width , with gable ends , and the roof , which was covered with Stone slating , being supported by four sirons ; beams . The whole of tho walla were built of solid stone , and the window casements were made of iron , giazad with small panes of glass . Along the youth
side of tho building runs a lorg bench , called the buffing bench , about four feet wide , and the same height from the ground , and under this bench , about seven yards from tho We 3 t End of the place , were discovered the remnants of an exploded barrel of gunpowder . This position seems to have been chosen by the incendiaries on account of its close proximity to the great wht-el , which is turned by a water-fall , and which wheel puts into motion all the machinery used in carrying oji . the business- Immediately above the spot , on ihe outside of the wall , were the turning and boring chamber , aud the joiner ' s chamber—and , therefore , tho spot selected was one . from which an explosion would be fully felt in each of the three departments of the
premises , and fully indeed it was felt . Tho door lad evidently beeu forced open with a crow-bar . The whole of the stone slating on the roof was completely blown to atoms—each of the gable ends of the building blown outwards from top to bottom—and the stones composing the wost wall lying in almost the same regular order , as when first laid by the builder . Part of the skylight wa 3 blown about twenty yards ofi * into the Abbey Dale dam , a Sue piece of water contiguous to the building . That part of the buffing bench under which the explosion took place , was , of course , non est invenlus . The six windows on the north side of the building were so shattered that not a single pane of glas 3 was to be found in any one of them . The wall which , separated the great room from the two chambers before named , was very much shakes , and bulged towards the great waier wheel with a threatening aspect . The floors , roof , and windows of the
turner's chamber , and joiners chamber , shared the same fate as those of the large room in which the gunpowder wa 3 placed—mauy portions of the roof and window casements being picked up at distancp-s from fifty lo one hundred yards off . The object of the explosion was to destroy most effectually the grinding-whcel and its attendant machinery , with anything else that might happen to hz within reach of the explosion . In the cottage occupied by Price , the forgeman , the cupboard was shaken , and a pane of glass out of one of the windows . Part of the iron casement was picked up about thirty yards from the building . Mr . Dyson , it seems , had not insured the premises , nor have we yet heard the amount at which the damage i 3 estimated ; although it will probably not exceed £ 400 or £ 500 . Amongst the grinders there exists a union , and if , any master employ men who are not members of this union , a decree is forthwith issued that such master " is to be served
out , " i . e ., he is to have either bis dwelling-house , or place of business , blown up with gunpowder , or some other matter of a combustible nature . In this case , Mr . Dyson had two men ia his service who , though industrious and efficient workmen , did not belong to the union , and therefore Mr . Dyson came under the displeasure of the men who compose the committee appointed by this union . From some circumstances which have not yet transpired before the public , three men were apprehended on Monday and Tuesday , viz William Thorpe , George Thorpe , and Thomas Richardson . They were taken before the sitting magistrates , Mr . Overend and Mr . Bagsbawe , on Tuesday , at the Town Hall , and were remanded until Friday ( yesterday ) , on the application of Palfreyman , solicitor for the prosecution . Mr . Broomhead defended the prisoners , who were advised to hold their peace . The explosion has caused an immense sensation in the neighbourhood ; and it is eveu stated on good authority that 100 Ib 3 . of gunpowder were fired at once , to effect the diabolical otjeoi of which v ?« hare given a de ; crip : ion .

TO JAMES BRONTERRE O'BRIEN . 180 , Holborn , Nov . 8 th , 1842 . hJ ^ C " J ^ ° y ° a » even yon , from whom I 5 It "ceivod so ^ much political information , will KISS Mbat I hare never thrown the apple f tlZ ^ T * * 'he Chartist body .

I had imagined at one time-you were the most consistent , ¦«¦ «? i ^ Ien ted < tb ; e most patriotic , and the most S ^ man in *• country . Tvould be a waste « r 2 ? £ t Part to , ialk of y ° consistency or of your patriotism ; the country now iudtres . and wui
so posterity judge of both . No man will deny you possess talents in a superior degree : the only rSi \ V hafc ^ 8 h 0 ^ so prostitute them aftJ render them either useless or injurious . As for your persecutioa and progecution v you mast not imagine that you could escape unscathed from such on the part of the Government ; as to persecution from other quarters , I am inclined to believe you ^ ° / Hf u L ? y «« r own head . You will , no doubt , call this letter of mine an attempt to assassinate you politically ; bat there are too many living witnesses to prove that my aim has ever been to . assist you in every possible uld
way I co so long as you would permit me But to the more immediate contents of your letter . As usual you exhibit your own disappointed ambition , by attacking F . O'Connor . Your eternal talk ot perfidious demagogues only proves that your regret is , that you are not the demogogue . As usual O Connor is fathered wilh an eatraordinary document ; that is just as correct as that he drew hd the JNational Petition ; but a bad man must always resort , as you have done , either to surmise falsehoods or else to invent and fabricate the most palpable lies . ; However , as I am neither O'Connor's tool , as you insinuate , nor am 1 his apologist for what you may , in your wisdom , consider criminal in him , any
more ttum 1 am yours JI leave you in his hands , satisfied as I am that he will deal with you far beyond your satisfaction . I come now more immediately to that part of your letter that refers to myself , Rnd I can assure you that I will not " set ought down iu malice . " The following are your own words ;—" No association will ever make progress that either is , or is BUppoaed to be , under the influence of such men . No Association will ever flourish , or ripen into national importance , which has for its supposed chiefs or leaders men : who will not openly avow their own acts , and stand by the consequences of their own public documents . No association will ever become the Aaron ' s rod that is to swallow up all the rest , unless
ita office-bearers are men who will devote themselves honestly to the interests of their constituents , instead of trying to make their own fortunes by pandering for the patronage of demagogues , and London publishers , at the expence of truth and honour . No association will ever command the respect of the millions , whose office-bearers are men that will run away from the consequences of their own deliberate acts ; or who will public /]/ flatter and cry up , a 3 pattiote of the first order , perfidious demagogues , of whose treason to the people they privately talk of having in their possession written proofs and documentary evidence . No Chartist association will ever flourish in England , one of whose principal officers is a man who can discover the Weekly Dispatch , and Cleate ' s Circular , to be par excellence entitled to the gratitude of the Chartist body , while he would have that body look with distrust and enmity on
this , the only paper in the empire that is at this moment honourably defending their interest against all their enemies , open and secret ; but , above all , from the traitors and jobbing rascals in our own camp , who are making merchandise of them for their own base ends . The National Charter Association—National , forsooth . ' ! . ' It never will be a National Association until it either ejects from its bosom , or reduces to their proper dimensions , the perfidious demagogues , poltroons , and jobbers that ate fattening on the pence of the honest members , nnd bringing disgrace on the whole Chartist body by their charlatanism , their blundering incapacity , tnt-ir egotistical puffing ( of themselves and of others ) , and their conspiracies to cashier every man that will not b 9 ft party to their dirty , mercenary , treacherous sacrificing of the people to their own cupidity , ambition , and cowardice . " James Bronterre O'Brien .
" P . S . —Some of these fellowa threaten to put down the Statesman . We shall see . It is possible enough they may put it down ; but we tell them for their comfort , we would see five hundred Stalemans go down sooner than be a party to their viilanous practices . " Now , sir , I will put it to any man who is a lover of fair-play , whether such an ungentlemanly attack as that ought to be made on nlo ? Aye , on mo , who has Btood by you , who assisted you , who did & \\ that a poor man could do to forward ycur interests . This I should never hare mentioned but that your conduct is such that I am forced to do it in dufence of my owa character . I had foolishly imagined you bad pourod the last drop of tho vial of your vindictiveness on me by your famous *' Old
Chartist" letter , when you put the Government on the scent to arrest Mr . Douall , whom you have branded as a traitor , and Leach , of whom you have said ho would politically assassinate you ; of- ' myself , against whom you have written the foregoing tirade . It is magnanimity in the extreme of you to attack the Doctor who is riot at hand to defend himself ; but by the God that madp mo , I will neither allow you or any other man to attack such a man as M'Douall with impunity .. If there is one patriot more than another that ought to live for ever in the people ' s memory , it is M'Douall . What has ho not done for the cause ? What sacrifices has he . riot made ? His
all is gone for the people ! You talk of theincon 8 istency of a principal officer of ths National Charter Association , speaking well of the Dispatch and Chartist Circular . Now , you did not mention my name—why did you not ! were you afraid ? It waa the act of a coward who raised his arm , but had not coura ^ o to strike the blow . You , forsooth , eschew denunciation ! why , what else have you dono since tho meeting of the last Convention but denounce , until this denunciation— " has sunk you below the depth of your deep , in a deeper gulf still . ' You pay I am making a fortune by pandering to London publishers ; that , Sir , you know to be a dnliburate falsehood . You know I waa ' t' 6 ' 0
independent to pander to you by boKoving you to be the " I am" of tho movement ; and i if so with you , why not . w . th others as well ? Now for the very great crime of speaking of the D > spntch . What is the actual fact ? Why , that 1 simply thanked its Editor for exposing tho intolerance of Lord Abinger . I thanked him simply for that ; I am not sorry that I did so ; but tho crime of recommending the Chartist Circiilar \\ o % v horrible Now , I ask you were you in your wits when you sneered at the Chartist Cirtuktr f Yes , I have recommended the Chartist Circular ; I am proud I did so ; I do so now , and will continue to do so until it deviates from the advocacy of Chartism . You say I am making a fortune out of the pence of tho people ; I
suppose you allude to my wages . Lei rne for a moment or two glance at this worse than Abinger iudinuation . I was elected to the Executive three times and appointed secretary . I have faithfully served the association since . I have done a man ' s part in propagating democracy . I have never lent myself to faction , and I never will . During the time I lived in Manchester after my appointment to the secretaryship , hundreds of our party can witness that my hand was never closed , nor my door shut against the needy before my arrest . In my shop I relieved thirty-six fugitives out of my own pocket in the course of three weeks ; some of those are now in prison , some out . Your sneer at my making a for tune is too lame and contemptible to make any
imprrs ~ ion on the public . Contra&t my conduct to you in 1839 40 1-2 with your conduct to me at the present . When you wore under tho talons of the government in 1839 I sympathizjd with you , and when you were sentenced to imprisonment 1 did all I could to raise funds for your family in Manchester and Salford ; every place I went to , or meeting I attended , I encouraged them to support you and your family . I did my best to raise funds for your press , and wrote to many friends in your behalf . I helped to got you overflowing meetings in Man--Chester , after your release from Lancaster ; what more could a poor roan do ? Wflat do you do in the last throes of the Statesman' } You know that I have a family , and that to enable that family to obtain an honourable living when I may be in prison , or dead
I nave opened a book and news ehop in Holborn ; you use all the strength the consumptive creature lias left to spit 3 our venom on a man who has so eminently served you , and thus deprive him and his family of even a maintenance when I may be in gaol ; but your trick will not succeed . I ask you , sir , will it not be more honourable that my family can obtain an honest and honourable living in business when I may be incarcerated , than they should be a burden on the Chartist Association \ 1 will not pursue the subject any further , but in conclusion I assure you , you may rail at me until you are weary ; and I regret exceedingly that the man whom I once esteemed , I can only now hold him in the most thorough contempt , satisfied , as I am , in the rectitude of my conduct . I remain , Sir ,
A lover of liberty , and a hater of discord , J . Campbell . P . S . Nothing shall induce iue to say another word on this subject . M f ^ r g ^ ¦ - ^ ^^ Jl ^ m ^^^^^^^^^ B ^^ mL- ^ ^ . ^ - * . A ^ ^ a a — ¦
