FB 1 GHTFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT , X ? fD JIIBACULOTJS ESCAPE OF PRAltGTJSO'CONNOR , PB 1 SCE GEORGE OF CAMBRIDGE , AND S £ TERAL OTHERS . Os Monday night last , the down train to Leeds fcad proceeded as far as Masborongh , where the g ^ eia train for . Leeds Joins it . We we not snffigently informed upon the subject to say whether flje London train or the Sheffield train should arrive gjst at the MasboroHgh station j bat we Bhould jappose the latter , as the distance is short j be
jisi , however , as i ; may , the point of junction ^ Bg close to the Etation , the public has every j ^ g v to expect that ihs usual precaution to prevent collisions should be observed ; especially when the jjjstance used bj boti trains does not exeeed two hundred yards . Upon the night in qnestion , the Xasdon train had most fortunately slackened its pace when nearing the station ; for just at the jnncuoH , and as one ialf of the London train lad passed , it was run into by the Sheffield ftaim He York and Darlington carriages were namedi » ely sfrer the engine , the aail deparnnent
fcSowed , and then the Leeds carriages . The engine snd York carriages had passed the point of junction ¦ when the remainder of . the train came into fearful collision with the Sheffield engine , and so tremendous was the shock , that the heavy iron jraui by which the mail carriage was attached to fiie Leeds carnages was snapped , as if by magic , the jj&is carriages and mail being pitched completely eff tbe rails , and to a considerable distance . The passengers were snddenly ronsed by the crash ¦ srhiehj as we learn , was terrifically alarming , and * i once mads £ he best © f their -way to u terra
jiffli " Hr . O'Coss'OB has informed us that so close was flje engine of tha Sheffield train to where he sat , fiat he could , without bexding forward , pat his isnd upon it , -wHle tlie head « f it was all bat in the carriage of Hs Royal Highness Prince George . The steps of tie carriage were torn oS , and the Infers of the mail shattered . Fortunately the collision took place close in £ h « station , where there is a considerable io the stadonwhere there is a considerable
, extern of leTel space . The front carriage treat on to the station , and the passengers for York neither felt the shock or knew anything of the matter until the routed occupants of the other carriages made their appearance and comjnesced tsanvassing for seats . After nearly an hour spent in a fruitless endeavour io get the mall and iis Leeds carriages replaced on the rails , the train started for Leeds , where it arrived considerably ifter its time .
We have chronicled thi 3 accident as we have learnt it , but we cannot allow it to pass without some brief notice . It will be in the recollection of our readers that the directors and managers of the Korta Midland Railway did s some month 3 ago , discharge their practiced enginedrivers , because the men would not submit to a reduction of some twenty-five per cent , from their ¦ jr&ges—of course , save , save , save , being the order x > l the & 2 J , £ he experiment Tvas made upon the most isdn-trious portion of the eommnnity , sad -while tfb hear nothing of a reduction in the high officials , it
appears that lie really working portion wer » all treated to the sliding scale of twenty-fiie -per cent . t » f a reduction . The death of poor Mr . Habv £ . y , who was literally smashed to atoms , is not yet forgotten , until at length accident after accident , if the events deserve so mild a term , have followed in qaick succession , owing to the grasping policy of the moDey-mongers , who , by the bye , took especial good care to raise the fares , at the time when they reduced the wages of their men . Amongst other importations £ hiB life-preserving community imported fiie rtffian by whose oondnct poor Mr . Babvey
last hi 3 life . To show the little card entertained for ihs public afety we shall just state one i&ek . This said enginedriver , that ia , the man by whose recklessness the life of Mr . Hjlrtet was sacrificed , was well known npon the Newcastle line j and so ferocious and brutal was his conduct , that while there he acquired the appropriate appellation of "Hell-fire Jack " Could the Directors of the 2 ? orth Midland have engaged this ruffian without making due enquiry , and iriifc learning the abore fact J or did the Newcastle Directors allow them to do so without commumc&dng it ! 1 Let ns lave an answer to that question ; as one Df the parties must be highly culpable .
We saaH relate a fact which came to ns from an ije witness . Upon ihe morning on "which Mr . Hxetet lost his life , and while the bye-standers we lost in sorrow ; the ruffian , who had himself lost a part of his hand , looked on with apparent indifference , and more than once , in the most cold Vioocea manner , exclaimed , " Pooh , its noihmg , I lave often had ten times worse jobs than that . " One word more and we have done , and that is—Will those who care but little for the lives and comforts of poor engine-drivers , now cry out against the directors of thi 3 lin » , when the lives of their own order are placed in jeopardy , by the cupidity of moBej-mongers and railway directors I We shall see .

They mustered in the Green , mider what management we have not learned , and from thence proceeded through the principal parts of the city , headed by a person bearing a black flag . Several other individuals , both men and women , carried boards , bearing inscriptions , on one Of which were the words " Bread or Death . " The party had a truly miserable and squalid appearance , many of them having little more clothing than was necessary for the purposes of decency ; while their whole aspect betokened the lowest stage of wretchedness . Not a few had the appearanco of being
redueed tradesmen and factory girls ; but it was not difficult to discover th&t a considerable proportion of them belonged to that outcast class , always numerous in Glasgow , even in the best of times . Their object ¦ was 10 excite the sympathy of the inhabitants is their behalf , but further than the display made for this purpose they did not go . No begging wasattempted , nor the slightest breach of the peace committed , and after traversing the greater part of the city , they returned to their original place of muster in the green , and quietly dispersed . A party of police hung on the skirts of the procession as it wound through the city , but as we have alread y observed , no cause of interference was given , and the poor creatures were left to pursue their way unmolested . —Glasgow Argvs .

TRICKS OP THE ANTI-CORN LEAGUE AND THE WORTH OF THEIR PUBLIC MEETINGS TO THE EDITOB OP THE HOBTBEBN STAB . Sib . —Yon have doubtless beard of the resolution which these enemies to native industry have come to upon the subject of their meetings , namely , that expressive of their determination not to allow any stranger to be present unless admitted by ticket , thongh you may not have heard of the manner in -which such tickets are Iwoed ; 3 -Jrill therefore give yon an account of it . Instead or leaving tiieir ticfeets at thevarioTW Iitbraries , as most wf tbe conveners of ticket-meetings do land as ,
for convenience sake , one weuld have . supposed tbe League "would do ) , they -will not Buffer ft single ticket to be issued except at the rooms of the Association , ¦ wbere the greatest « are is taken not to give them to any bnt Leaguers ; and as the persons who have the issuing of such tickets are League orators , and from their long connection with the agitation , know the faces of nearly all who are distinguished for their love or opposition to it , their object ia eaaUy attained ; a direct refusal being given to eyexy applicant -who by one preyious act or word has incurred the displeasure of the League .
I had a splendid instance of this kind of League justice afforded me by some advocates of the mme during my application for tickets for the first of the great weekly meetings of the League , which are now being held every Wednesday , in the Theatre Royal , Dmiy * . « . » . and which-are called " public- 1 called at the chief division of their Association , 448 , West Stxand , and amongst thB members -whom I met ¦ with there tras the notorious Sidney Smith , whom I bad previously giren great offence to by telling him , at one of his meetings , that the people -wanted something more t *"" 1 cheap bread . It was net my intention to
speak to him , nor his duty to Bpeak to me ; my business being -with the secretary , who wbb tben attending to the request * of some former applicants . As , however , my 'visit vras unexpected , and the secretary had not bees tampered -with concerning it , and as Hr . Smith did not -wish me to haTe a ticket , he thought I had better not speak to the secretary : accordingly , by way of a prelude to a lie , he asked me iT I were a subscriber to the League . 2 told him him that I wa * not ; bat , in the advertisement calling the meeting , so mention -whatever was made of subscribers , as it distinctly stated tb&t the pit and galleries -were for tbe members , 3 i . rl ike bares ior tne public He told me that not ft

" Having again told them not to call this meeting a " public" one after what Mr . Smith had said respecting it , I left , and ere a very tew hours were over , obtained three doable tickets , for myself and others , from an office of lha League , at which I happened to be unknown . I attended the meeting , and just as it was about to be dissolved , hurled two hundred copies of the enclosed addresses of Earl Stanhope ' s Society for the protection of
British Industry , amongst the numerous merchants , bankers , and manufacturers , -who were congregated in the pit , on whom they descended in a shower , to the r . o Email chagrin of tbe League , ¦ who , doubtless , wished me and my papers far enough . It will be more difficult than ever for me to obtain a ticket to a League meeting novr ; buttih ! more opposition that I meet "witn in thiB respect , the greater plea I shall have against the exclusive proceedings , and I here tell them that unless they abandon their packed meeting scheme , and come forward as they ought to do , and meet the people ; there are persons in both " House , '" who will at no diatant day , declare that they are afraid to do so ! and Parliament , I believe , will decide accordingly .

YORKSHIRE SPRING ASSIZES . CROWN COURT , Tbesdat , Mabch 21 . ( Before Mr . Justice Coltman . ) MUBDKB AT ILKXEY . Joseph Hey , 42 , was charged with having , at Ilkley , in the West-Riding , on the 17 th of December last , wilfully and maliciously murdered William H us t Trick . Mr . Wilkins , Mr . Ovkbesd , and Mr . Habdt , appeared for the prosecution ; Mr . Baines and Mr . Bliss defended the prisoner . Mr . Wilkins , in stating the case against the prisoner , said—Gentlemen of the Jury , the very announcement of the nature of the offence with which the prisoner now stands charged will be quite sufficient to prepare your minds for the discharge of a
serious and painful duty . The circumstances of the case itself are quite sufficient to impress you with the necessity of entering on the investigation with more than ordinary scrutiny and care , because the prisoner at the bar was never seen by any human eye to commit the offence with which he stands charged , and if you convict him at all , it must must be on what is termed circumstantial evidence . The prisoner , Joseph Hey , was a wheelwright , living at Beamsley . The deceased , William H ustwick , was a neighbour of his , and the parties appear to have beea on £ ood terms until the 16 ih of December , when they went to a public-house called " Lister ' s Arms , " at Ilkley , about eight o ' clock in the evening . At that time there was nothing iu their couduct to juatify
the belief that any ill feelmg guhsisted between them . iSo angry words passed ; the deceased had done nothing to provoke the prisoner , and the prisoner had done nothing to provoke the deceased . Whilst they were a : the Lister ' s Arms , a man namei Joseph Illingworth called in , and remained there until vhe prisoner and the deceased left tbe house , about a quarter past ten o ' clock . The parties were then all fresh , but the deceased was in a much worse condition with regard to drunkenness thau the prisoner . When they were about to leave the bonse , tne deceased expressed a wish to stay all lught . This the prisoner strongly opposed , and told him he was talking nonsense—be had far better go home , as it was a fine clear night , and hethea pushed
him out of the passage . This was a little past ten o'clock . Shortly after twelve a man named Thomas HardwJck , a private watchman in the service of Mr . Middleton , was watching in the back-yard of a house belonging to o ± r . Burgess , the' steward to Mr . Midleton . Whilst there , he heard some person cry , either—Help me—or , Let me get up . He also heard the sound oi a human voice , and other noises , which continued until about one o'clock , three quarters of an hour . The noise appeared to be near the river in a line with the steward ' s house , and it seemed as if some persons were throwing stones into the water . Shortly after one o ' clock , Hardwick went to Middleton Lodge , and was there joined by W . Hawksworth , and ether gamekeepers , who were watching
poachers . They all then went to the place where the sound appeared to comefrom , and in a field called Hawksworth Island , between the high-road and the river Wharf they found the deceased . He was not quite dead , but lived about half an hour afterwards . He however , did nothing bat moan until the time of his death . There was a thick stick lying besides him , about a yard from his body . Tae landlord of tbe inn will tell you that when the deceased and tbe prif-oaer left his house , they each had a Btick . The prisoner ' s was a slender walkingstick , but the deceased ' s was a thick rough one , about three feet long . Pieces of flesh , hair , and skin , were found on the stick which was lying near to the deceased , and it was covered with biood . In addition
to this you will find , from the evidence of a medical man , that the body of the deceased was in a most awful state , and when his bat was taken off & large quantity of blood flowed from it . To use the words of one of the parties present , the bead of the deceased was literally smashed , aud his body one mass of bruises , inflicted by some violent and bloody hand . The prisoner was the last person iu whose company the deceased was seen alive—that you will find was somewhere about half-past ten o'clock . Yoa will find from tbe evidence that aboDt twelve o ' clock the moaning and crus began , and oontinaed in the hearing of ihe watchman until after one . The body of the deceased was then discovered , and cairied > o a public house in a cart . About half-past
six in the morning two of the keepers , Thomas Gill and Charles Moon , went to the prisoner ' s house , tbe door was fast , but they heard the prisoner cry < mt , " Who ' s there V' and a candle was lit , which was afterwards extinguished ; and it was not until a considerable time had elapsed that they gained admission- The prisoner was asked if he had been at Ilkley with deceased the night before , and he said he had . Moon asked where he left him , and prisoner replied in the flat closs b 5 the lime-kiln . There are two , and the body of the deceased was found midway between them , about 200 yards from each . Moon then asked prisoner if deceased was drunk , to which he replied that deceased was either drunk or sulkv . as he could not get him any
farther than the flit close . Ha also said that after leaving Ilkley he had tewed with him for about an hour before he could get him to the place where he had left him . Deceased wished to sit down there , and so prisoner allowed him to do bo . Moon said , " He is dead . " Prisoner replied " Thou talks . " H e was then asked whether on the road home he had met or seen anything , and he said he had heard a gun fired off . 1 think you will be of opinion that that cannot be true , for every one of the parties 1 shall call bef # re yoa that mnt to look " for the body , and afterwards found it , will tell you that they were out in Beach of poachers , when their attention was directed to every sound and circumstance which could justify the belief of parties being in the
neighbourhood , and they beard no gunfire . Tins story may be true , but it may also be the expedient of a guilty mind to seek for some cause , to which to ascribe the death of the deceased , in order that be himself might be clear of the charge . I say no more on that point , Gentlemen of the Jury—I leave the inference to you . The prisoner was then asked at what time he ^ ot home , and his wife stated , in his hearing , th&t he got home abont half-past three . You will remember the first moanings were heard about twelve o ' clock , and continued up to one , and at half-past one when the body of the deceased was found , he was still living . At that time , when the
prisoner left the deceased , he would have to go three or four miles ; so that if he had gone straight home at the time when he says he left the deceased , he would have been there long before the time stated by his wife . The prisoner made no remark , and did not contradict his wife , when * she said it was halfpast three before he arrived home . She also said , " Poor Wiil ; I have been studying all night , and wondering whether he got home or not . " This fhows that a conversation had taken place between the prisoner and his wife about toe deceased . Between eight and nine o ' clock , Abraham England , a constable of Addingham , and Ellis Whitaker , went to apprehend the prisoner , when England found him in

the street , and said to him you are my prisoner . I am come to apprehend you in conjiequnooe of your being connected with the deatb ?^ William Hustwiok . Have you anything to sta ^ whj you should not be taken into custody ? Prisoner said I do not know that l have . England then examined prisoner ' s shirt , and od the wrist bands of both sleoves he found spots of blood . He was asked how they Jfad come there , and he stated that he had assisted in carrying a pig belonging to a brother of tha deceased , and that at that time he had no coat on . He said he had washed his hands a little that morning . He went into his-house and pat his coat on , and England and Whittaber then set off with him to Addingham . As they were going , England noticed
that there were marks of blood on the inside of prisoner ' s coat . and he asked how they came to be there . Prisoner said he could not tell , unless it was from Hustwiok s pig . England replied that cannot be , as yon had no coat on . When at Addingham he was asked why the blood was on his coat , and he gave another reason totally different from that which he had given before ; he said it waa from HuBtwick s nose having bled , as they sat on a wall after they got across the bridge flat . On the Very next day , a medi cal man , who examined the body of the deceased , and particularly inspected the nostils , stated that there were no marks of blood to be'found . Tnis would affect the prisoner in two ways . First , with regard to his veracity . When first asked about the blood on his coat , he said he could not account for its being thereexcept it had be 8 n
, caused by Hmbwiok ' s pig . When he was told that he had no coat on , he then gave a different version of the cause of the blood ; and ifc seems to me , if the statement of the medical man is to be relied npon , the statement of the prisoner cannot be relied upon , in accounting for the blood found on his coat ; while the woman who laid the diseased out will corroborate the statement of the surgeon , and will state that she found no blood in his nose . During his examination before the justices , the prisoner said that he and the deceased 'went on until they came to a style , when the deceased made a bit of a flounder , and whan they got further , ho said , " I believe my nose bleeds . " They went on a little further untu they came to the lime-kiln , when the deceased said he would remain there . Whan
the prisoner got home his wife told him it was two o ' clock . I ought also to state that some blood was found upon the latohets of one of the prisoner ' s shoes . I have now gone through the facta of the case upon which you tare to form your verdict . There can be no doubt that deceased died from violence ; there can be no doubt that the prisoner was the last man seen in his company ; there can be no doubt that the deceased desired to stay all night at the Lister's Arms , and the prisoner was the man
who prevented it . There , can be no doubt that at twelve o ' clock the moaning of the deceased began , and continued until half-past one . The prisoner does not find his way home until half-past three o ' clock , when he is found with stains of blood upon his shirt and coat , for which he cannot account , and respecting which he gives contradictory and conflicting statements . The Learned Counsel concluded by remarking that he left the prisoner to God and his country , and he was sure that the Jury would do their dnty .
Several witnesses were then examined , who bore eut the statement of the Learned Counsel in most of the particulars , after which Mr . Baines addressed the Jury for the prisoner at some length , contending that from all the circumstances of tbe case not only that there was no proof that the prisoner was guilty of this heinous crime , but that the facts of the case led to the conclusion that he was not , and the Jury could not arrive at any other conclusion than that the prosecutor had
entirely failed in establishing the charge of guilt against the prisoner . He said he would proceed td review the case as it stood , and when he had done so he would ask permission of the Jury whether it was necessary for him to go into the body of evidence that he might produce before them , but if they did not think that at all necessary , then they would one and all say that they were convinced , the prosecutor had not made out his case , and they were ready at once to pronounce a verdict of acquittal . >
After Mr . Barnes ' s address , the Jury , without hearing any of the prisoner ' s witnesses , found him Not Guilty . The Learned Judge concurred in the opinion of the Jury .

I keep a shop . On Friday morning , tho 6 th of January , four men came into
oar house . We went to bed on Taursday night about eleven o ' clock , having examined the doors and windows to see that they were fast . About one o ' clock feur men came into the room . Two came to my bed side , and two to the bed foot . They took me by the throat , and I thought they were choking me . I forced the hand off . They then put their hands upon my mouth and nipped my nose . One of the men took a pillow , put it on my face , and got upon it with his knees . The prisoner is the man who got upon me with his knees . He said , " if you don't hold your noise aud be still , I'll blow your brains out if you speak a word . " I got the pillow off and said "are you going to murder us , what do you want 1 " He said he wanted our money . The prisoner bad a club stiok in his hand . They took my husband by one of his legs and trailed him into another room . They struck him over the head
with the club stick . In ten minutes or a quarter of an hour , they trailed him back by the hair of bis head like a olog of wood . He was bleeding from his head , nose , and mouth , from the stroke of the stick . When , he was ia the other room , I heard them say " Hang him out , he ' s not dead yet . " When he came back , they trailed me out of bed . I said " Oh , " and one of them said " Come , madam , if you say that again , I'll blow your brains out . " The faces of the men were not grimed ; they had bits of crape ever their faces , and had short smock frocks on . Whenthey . went tothebed of my grand-daughter , two of them took their veils off and put them in their hat 3 . I saw the laces of two very fair when they were talking to my grand-daughter .

The men stayed about an hour in the room . I don't know I lost anything but the money . We lost , £ 200 , which were fa a little box under a step ; the money was in sovereigns .
They said they were going down stairs , they should be there two hours , while they got something to eat , and if we Bpoke or stirred , they would blow our brains out . 2 found that the men had gone shortly after , and I alarmed my neighbours . The back window bad been torn out of the frame . They had got in at the window , and opened the back door . That back door was fastened by me . I saw the prisoner first after that on Monday , the 1 st February , at the Castle gates . They fetched him down stairs for me to look at him . As soon as be passed me I saw that was the man .
Cross-examined—1 had been asleep before the men came in . Before I went I had heard the clock strike twelve . They had all sticks , and good thick ones too . One of the men had a handkerchief over his face . I can't say I was very much frightened considering the alarm . I have not got quit of my hurt yet . The veils were taken off when they had almost done their work . The firgt time I saw any face without crape was when they went to the bedside . I went to tbe Castle gates to see it I could challenge the prisoner . A man went to fetch him down stairs . I had never known or seen the prisoner before that I know of . 1 know a man called the herring man , and I bought some herrings of him once . I should know him if I saw him again . I know Joseph
Harrison , he lodged with me , and left my house on Wednesday , and this happened on Friday morning . When they bad got the money the ; went away . They left me whoa they went for the money . 1 saw the naked faces of the two men for ten minutes or a quarter of an hour . I did not seethe faces of the other men . I think I should know the other man if I saw him . I am sure the prisoner is the man who came to my bed-side and ill-used me . Witness repeated that she was quite sure the prisoner was the man . I did not see a man in the room that was like the herring man . My son was seat for immediately . It had just gone two o ' clock when the . alarm was made .- Re-examined . —When they were near my bedside I could see faces of the
men sideways ; they had candles in their hands . I knew the prisoner as soon as 1 saw him at the Castle gates . When they got the box they shook it , and said " This is what we have come for , and we have got it . " I bave no doubt the prisoner ib the man . Win .

TO THE EDITOR OP THB N 0 KXHEK . N STAR . Sib—In your paper of to- < i « iy I perceived . ; brief report of what fell from me while addressing tha frienda of frpedem iu Lesds , on Siturdiij ? the 11 th instant , relative to tbe treatment of myaelf by V « e Magistrates of Bevertuy . In this report there Is a very slight ioaocuracy which might very naturally occur , as youi talented correspondent did not take notes while I spoke , consequently dtew out hia report from memory . In his report he makes mo say : — " That the Magistrates < f Beverley did refuse to allow me the right of petition while I remained their prisoner . " Small as thiB inaccuracy is I lose ot a moment in pu ting , with ypur permission , the public right on this subject . , Sir , I can afford to do tbe magistrates of Bsverley full justice ; and still have a story to tell which will not , 1 think , raiBe th « m very high in the estimation of their felltm-nwn in general .
The language I made use of at the meeting alluded to , was this : — "That the magistrate of Beverley had , by preventing me from writing to any othc > r than my wife , and to he * only once a-month , and by placing upon my correspondence with her auch a series of reetrictions—restrictions b ^ h vexatious and unmanly , and calculated , if not intended , to defeat the ends of justice—ana not satisfied with preventing me ftmu sending my letters to Edinburgh such instructions as would have enabled my friends tu have exposed the abominable falsehood by which I was convicted , and to put them in possession of facts which , if published , wouM necessarily have secured my liberation and most lifeeJy have be » -n the means of bringing the guilty employers to puniahmentbnt tbat the magistrates of Boverley did ail tbat tbey durst to prevent any petition complaning of their own conduct from ever reaching the House of Commons o « tbe public at all . "
The facts of tbe case , Sir . are shortly these . After I bad been for some months a prisoner , and from the rireadful effects of the inhuman treatment I was suijacted to upon my own body , and alao from the fact of tho very sudden death of a young man named Creasor . caused , as I suppose , by tha operation of the treadmill , a conviction forced itself upon my mind , that the loss of my life was inevitable , if indeed its destruction was not designed . This suspicion , and a strong suspicion it was , was greatly strengthened * by the circumstance that I learned that every effort was made by Sheppard aod bis principal officer to keep the fact of this unfortunate man ' s death , and every circumstance connected with it , from me ; and the uncomfortable suspicion was still further
strengthened by ihe fearful state of agitation into which the jailor and turnkey appeared to be thrown as soon as they knew that Creasor ' s death was known to me , and that I had expressed my intention of petitioning for inquiry . Snch was the excitement of the jailor , that for some time it appeared to deprive him of Ola ordinary prudence and caution , so much so that be ordered me immediately to ba locked up in a solitary cell , apart from tbe other prisoners , informing me at the same time , tbat be did so in order to keep me from acquiring any further information telativa to Creasor ' 8 treatment or death . Why this ahoald nave been tho casa appeared to my simplicity very extraordinary indeed , as I could not conceive why publicity should have been either dreaded or shunned , provided all the circumstances of Creasor ' s death were fair and abovehoard : these facts forced upon me the conviction that
I had a small chance of leaving tbe prison a living man , unless I found the means of directing tbe public attention to my case and sufferings . While I was thus privately kept out of the w * y and engaged in writing a petition to Parliament , I was visited by a Mr . Willie and another magistrate . I requested these men to permit me to sand my petition to Edinburgh , so that my friends might put it into a proper form for presentation , giving as a reason my well-known deficiency in penmanship ; also that I knew uot any M . P . to whom I might lake the freedom of sending it direct . This reasonable request these men thought proper to rtf use , and in doing so did all tbey could to render the right of petition uull and void —this is what I stated at the public meeting , and what has somewhat misled my esteemed fr'cnd Mr . Ross .
There is also in tbat report another triflng misstatement ; the petition of tbe inhabitants of Bradford is first for inquiry into tbe conduct of the magistrates of that town in tbe employing of such worthless men as the spies Harrinon aad Smith . Secondly , for inquiring into the oonduet of tbe magistrates of Beverley in having prevented me from seeing my solicitor or taking any other means , even tbe simple one of sending tbe requisite instructions to my poor wife to establish the now undeniable fact , that I waa convicted by falsehood and convicted too of a crime conceived and executed by the agents of the ma * gistrates of Bradford themselves . It is , Sir , but just to the magistrates of Bsverley to state that thongh unaccountable to me , they had at least tbe sanction ot the Whig Government
Shortly after my becoming an inmate of Boverley prison tbe Whigs seut to the magistrates a letter commanding them to prevent me from holding , upou any consideration , any communication 'with any men of Radical politics , or of Writing o : < e single word that could in any way affect tho public mind . It waa ia vain that I represented to these magistrates that the ends of juRtice required , that the safety of life and liberty in England demanded , that I should have an opportunity of making the guilt of fcbe Crown witnesses apparent . It was in vain that I maintained that it waa theit duty as magistrates to protect , anuuusce , detect , and punish crime . Tbe only answer I could wring from them was , we will obey ou * inutrucUons .

BARNSLEV . —Considerable excitement was created in this town in consequence of a new bora child having been found on Sunday morning in a draw well , in Oxford-square , in Wilson ' S-piece , by a person who was searching the well with drags , for a can , The circumstance soon spread , and hundreds were soon on the spot . A Coroners inquest was held on the body on Monday , at one o ' cliok , and tho following facts came out in evidence : —The first wi ness called was a boy by the name of Hurst , who swore that . npon Friday night , Mary Moss , ( a midwife who was taken into custody on Sunday morning ) who came to the house of his parents on Friday night , with something wrapt in her apron , enquiring about the use of the water of the well . When she went out the boy went to the door after her—saw her go to ihe well aad heard a great gplash
in the well . He told his mother about it . The person who found the ohild deposed to its being bound with cords , one of whioh was round the neck , with a stone fastened to it . Elizabeth Pickering swore to the child being hers ? that she was delivered the Sunday fortnight previous ; that the child was still born , and that it was nailed up within a few boards ; that she gave Mary Moss sixpence to get it buried , which she said was done . Mary COok swore to being there juat as the child was born . She said it was warm and must have been alive about the time of its delivery , but never breathed Dootor Byre was of opinion that the child was still born . From this evidence the Coroner had no further jurisdiction over the case , but the woman Moss was retained to be tried for a felony and misdemeanour , for stripping the body of the child and keeping the money .
MANCHESTER—League mode of manufacturing SIGNATURES TO THEIB PETITIONS . —The Anti-Corn Law League have had a number of petition sheets laying for signature in various parts of the town of Manchester and Salford , for the total and immediate repeal of the corn laws . We have not heard the number of signatures obtained to the petition , nor do we know from whence the petition originated , but of this we are certain , that it has not received the sanction of a public meeting of the inhabitants ; but at the same time we are prepared to
prove from ocular demonstration , that a very great number of the eignature 8 are forgeries , At one table we saw ofle person write eighteen names , at another we observed the person who had the charge of it , write down Bix . We expressed our disgust at such nefarious proceedings , and he immediately laid down the pen . At another table we observed boys under the age of nine years , write from ten to twenty names each . These are facts we can substantiate upon oath if required , and we think such infamous conduct deserves exposure . —Cor .
