      BRAPFOBD—Extensive and Dasing Rcbbeby . —On--Friday -- morning about four o ' clock , the watewnan on duty in Exohange « street , discovered **« the door leading from the inclosed yard of Mr . W » e . ^ HaighB wool warehouse , into the street , had been broken open since going on his previous round . On entering the yard he found that the warehouse nad been broken into , and that a robbery had been committed . The watchman immediately hastened to the residence of Mr . Haigh , at Little Hortoo , and communicated the intelligence , and at five o ' clock he was at the scene of the robbery . The mode and extent of the robbery was now ascertained . It was found that the door leading to the street had bran forced open from the inside , and the warehouse door '

      had been forced from the : outside , and the natural inference arising therefrom was , that ihe robbers had been secreted in the stable hay-loft , or other outoffioe situated In the enclosed yard , from whence , as the doors or the out-offices were not locked , they could issue forth at pleasure and proceed to business . Having obtained ingress tothe warehouse , byforcing away the portion of Ihedoor cheek to which wasaffixed the staple for receiving the lock there was no obstacle in the way totheoountihg house , the doorof which was left open for ike convenience of cleaning out in the morning . Here the first object of the attack appears to have been a strong iron safe built into the wall , the door of which , secured by a patent lock , seems to have bid defiance to all their implements . Gunpowder had therefore been introduced by the key-hole into the lock , and by that means the door of the safe was shattered to pieces . Here another difficulty presented itself to the robbers . In addi ^

      tiou to various receptables for hooks , the safe contained two drawers , each locked with a different key , bnt both looks shutting into th 3 solid iron , and thus affording no leverage for the exercise of foraing instruments . Where the keys of these two drawers ^ were deposited was known only to Mr . Haigh himself , yet by strange accident the robbers went to the identical drawer in which they were deposited ) and by the use of brace , bit , and saw , they get the keys , opened the drawers , and abstracted upwards of £ 80 in cash , leaving behind them nearly £ 2000 in bilk . From this place they appear to have proceeded to the desk in the warehouseman ' s counting-house , and there again , by brace , bit , and saw , effected an entrance , and therefrom abstracted between £ 0 and £ 6 in cash . Money , it would appear , has been their sole object , as nothing but one bottle of wine besides has been missed . The police are in active seaoh , but up to the time of writing no discovery has been made .

      Arotheb Dabing Rob » eby . —In the night © f Tuesday last , or early on Wednesday morning , a most daring burglary was committed at Shipley , iu the house of Mr . Lambert , and twenty dozen of wine and some other property stolen . On examining the premises , it appeared that the house had been broken into by ms ans of a crowbar and a large wooden beam , with which the thieves bent the iron Btanobions ot the window , and having effected an entrance they broke open the doorof the wine cellar , wherein they committed depredations as above described . Soon after the robbery was discovered ,

      information of it was given at the Court House , Bradford , b y Mr . Lambert ; when Mr . lngham and another police officer were diepatobed to Shipley with warrants to search the dwelling-houses of suspected parties residing there and in that neigbourhood . This is the second robbery whioh has been committed on Mr . Lambert ' s premises , in little more than a month . On the first occasion , the villains took away a quantity of wine and provisions . Parties residing in country districts , will do well to secure the [ gratings of their cellars ; this Beems an easy and favoarite way ot access , just now .

      Chabqb undeb the Registbation Act . —On Monday last , at the Court House , a man named Brook , from Tong , was charged by Mr . Barraclough the registrar of that district , with having refused to S ' ve proper and necessary information respecting e birth of his child . The facts of case were not stated , though from the conversation whioh passed batween Mr . WagBtaff , the magistrate , and the defendant , it would appear that the dispute was one of long standing , and that the prosecution was commenced by order of the Home Secretary * Sir James Graham . Both parties were bound over to appear at the next York assizes , the one to prosecute and the other to answer the charge . Highwat Robbebt . —Oa Monday night , about

      the hour of nine o ' clock , as Mr . John Collins , manager for Messrs . Hardcaatie , Aked , and Co ., coalmerchants , Pour Lane Ends , M . anningbam , was on his way from the counting-house , to Mr . Hardoastie ' s in Whitley-lane , ha was suddenly seized and thrown on his back by a highwayman . The person making the attack was instantly assisted by several others , who actinK in concert , succeeded in robbing Mr . Collins of a large sum in cash , the proceeds of the day . During the last whiter , Messrs . Hardcastle andCo . ' a connting-house has been four times broken into and robbed ; but after the first robbery , ihe cash has been removed every night , and the subeequent robbery had consequently been confined to the candles , &c , deposited therein for the use ot the coal miners . '

      DiscovBBy op Human Bones . —On Thursday last , as Mr . Isaac Wood ' s man , of Kipping . Thornton , was ploughing at the Pikeley Farm , in the township of Auerton , ihe plough went so deep as to break the top of a large pot jar , into whioh the man put his hand , and to his astonishment found it contained the remains of a human being . From what has transpired since the discovery there seems little doubt but the remains in question are those of a little boy about eleven years old , who was

      apprenticed to a coal miner about Dent ' s Head , and who mysteriously and suddenly disappeared forty-three years ago . The boy had been cruelly used by his master on the night previous to his disappearance , and the probability is that one of his blows proving fatal , he put him into the large pot jar , capable of holding half a pack of Sour , so as to esoape the justice which his crime deserved . The coal miner always said that the boy had run away , and nothing has been heard of him up to this time . The supposed murderer died nearly twenty years since .

      OLDHAM . —On Monday , the 17 th , the members belonging to the Gomer Lodge , No . 81 , of the Order of Modern Druids , met at the house of Mr . Peter M'Donald , sign of the Rights of Man Inn , Oldham , to celebrate their first anniversary at the above house , when eighty and upwards eat down to an exoellent dinner . HTTDDEBSFIELD—The Militabv . —For some time this to wn has been troubled with a detachment of the 62 nd regiment of foot ; they are stationed in a large new warehouse , situate at the bottom of the New North Road . Captain Gardiner is their governor : but , from some cause unknown , the men regard him not . Disturbances of varions kinds have oeen of nightly occurrence since their

      arrival , antil Monday , the lyth inst ., when , it appears , a nnmber of them attended a race at Marsh . This being over , they , along with many others , entered a beerhouse , which was well filled . An altercation took place between the soldiers and the company , in consequence of some person calling out k 'swaddy . " The soldiers beat every one out of the house , fastened the door , and remained inside . A report was taken to the Captain , who ' immediately Bent a piquet to fetch them . On their return , and m West Parade , opposite to the beerhouse called the " Old Hat , " the men left the piq . net , and went into the above house . The word * 'swaddy" was again used ; another row commenced ; the company were turned ont , and severely beaten . They then

      destroyed a great deal of property inside , broke the windows , and the piquet returned , and took par ) with their fellow soldiers in the destruction of property . One of the Boldiers , named Davies , was severely beaten , and was taken to bed . On Tuesday , the 18 th inst-, the cases were taken before the magistrates , when two of them , named Fox and Russell , were convicted . Davies ' s case was adjoBrned until Tuesday , the 25 th . On the Bench was Sir G . Armitage , W . W . Battye , T . Slarkey , and T . Sufccliffe , Esqrs . Fox , who was convicted lapt week , was again brought up , and charged with assaulting Edward Oxley . The examination -was long and tedious ; many attempts were made to orove he waa at some other place at the time stated ,

      but they failed . The magistrates ordered Fox to pay twenty shillings , which should include costs . Davies was next called , and was examined before Sir G . Axmitage andT , Sutcliffe . The charge was fully proved , when one magistrate , Sir George , was for an acquittal , the other for conviction , and , without further ceremony , adjourned the cases . Whether ha T » iU again appear is not known . These charges have excited considerable interest in the town , and universal disgust is now manifested towards the soldiers . Something must be done for their removal . The public peace is broken j the revenge sought tor by many may be attended with evil consequences , so that the sooner the inhabitants determine on calling a public meeting , for the purpose of

      expressing their abhorrence , and for taking stcp 3 for their speedy and immediate removal , the better . Oh Moitdat last , as a person named Hntehinson was rising Outcote Bank , he was called to by another man , whom he did sot know , and asked if he would call at Mr . Ebeneaer Thornton ' s , NewBtreet , and request him to send on a kettle . Hutohinson called , and as be thought the man lived in the house to which he stood opposite , gave the name of Mr . Hirst , dogger . In a short time a boy was sent with a kettle , when he was met by the man who wished to have one , and waa told it was too small , he most go back for one a size larger , and brine also a small

      saucepan , and whatever the price might be , he was to bring the difference in silver , . as he would receive a sovereign . The lad soon returned , when he was again met by the man , but without coat this time . He told Mm they would do very well , and inquired what was the price , when he was told Ss . The man then Baid , " tfeou must give me the 15 s ., as I haye to go on to the co-operative Bhop to buy some things , and thou may take the kettle on to the house , and Mrs . will give thee a sovereign . The lad went to Mr . Hirst , who , to his surprise , knew nothing of the matter , and the lad was obliged to return lighter by his change . The trickster has not been Been since ,

      Hoax . —Thelnhabitants of Wakefield had a hoax played upon them on Wednesday week by hand biJJs being posted in the town the previous evening , requesting ajlconstablea , borougbreevc ^ bailiffs , byelaw-men , ahd other officers in authority , to attend in their appropriate and customary and seemly costume , as on chartered and other royal occasions , , * o keep order and peace in the streets , from half-past nine to eleven o ' clock on the morning of Wenesday ; Iwhilst the last two troops ofthe 17 th Lancers , headed by his Hishness i " - ¦ ¦ IT . ——i ^ i . — , i .

      -nnce ueorge of { Cambridge , passed throngh the town . On the previous day ( Tuesday ) a troop of the 17 th Lancers passed through Wakefield en route to Nottingham , and great doubt prevailed as to whether His Royal Highnersa Prince George of Cambridge waa with the troop ; this no doubt led the aoaxers to issue the plaoard in qnestion , which induced hundreds to leave their homes to see "the sight ; ' but , alas ! they found out the trick , and had the mortification to be laughed at by those who had been wiser than themselves .

      CHUBCH-3 BATB Sale . —A sale of a large variety of articles whioh had been seized by the Church from the Dissenters of Leicester , was attempted last week , but not a single bidder could be found ! The Leicester Mercury Baya the goods have since been sold privately , and remarks— " We have not been able to ascertain the names of the buyers , lhat they have been sold we are not at all surprised . Men destitute of honesty abound inlarge towns ; and we do not hesitate to say that the purchasers of these goods would not hesitate to pick a pocket , or rob a hen-roost , if sure of remaining undetected . The sufferers from this infamous transaction need to be reminded that it is but the natural result of the predominance of a sect j and that the effect upon their mmdB should be a determination to redouble their efforts for the abrogation of the system from which such evils Row "

      DaEkD » BL Mdbdebs at Sundebland by a Maniac—Sundebland , Apbil 25 . —This morning intense excitement . was caused in . tho town by a report that two murders had been committed daring the night by a person who had escaped from a lunatic asylum near Gtteshead . The report , on inquiry , proved too true . It appears from the hasty particulars we have been able to gather , that Win . Ferry , a man who has been confined in a lunatio asylum during the last two years , contrived to make his esoape on Saturday ; last , aud to elude the vigilance of his keepers he kept out of the way by going round the country . On arriving at his house , in Monkwe&rmouth , he found that the keepers had arrived

      before him , and to escape them he concealed himself in a boat , which was lying near the house , and adjoining the harbour . After the keepers had gone he went home , and remained there with his family until the perpetration of the awful deed , which took place during one of his frantic fits of madness , shortly after midnight . The alarm was first given by a boy , who lived in a part of the house , running into the street aud shouting , that Ferry was murdering his daughter ; but before any person could reach his room the wretched maniac had saori . need his unhappy wife and daughter . Hs killed the latter by beating her over the head , iu a horrible manner , with , a wooden vessel called a skeel , used

      for carrying water , and he next killed his wife , by beating her with a poker and bruising her in such a manner as no person but a maniac could have done . Ho was soon taken into custody to await ; the result of the Coroner ' s inquest . In the evening , at six o'clock , an inquest was held before J . M . Favell , Esq ., Coroner . The principal witness against the father was a little boy , a son of the murderer , only about five years of age , who providentially escaped the bloody hands of his parent , and witnessed the 4 > rematnre and horrible deaths of his mother and sister . The jury , after hearing the whole of the evi - dence , returned a verdiot of ' Wilful murder against William Ferry . " He has since bean committed to take his trial at the next Durham assizes .

      Diabolical Attempt at Murdrb . —On Monday last , a young woman , named Mary Francis , was lodged in the Worcester county gaol , by Henry Churohley , constable of Sbipston-upon-Stour , to take her trial at the next assizes , for attempting to murder Mary Jeffs , an old woman between sixty and seventy years of age , residing with her husband ( who is carter to Mr . Bailey ) at Goldicote , in the parish of Alderminster , which is nearly midway between Stratford-upon-Ayon and Shipston-upon-Stour . It seems that the girl is endente by the old woman ' s son , John Jeffs ( a labourer in the service of

Smith , a gentleman residing at Goldicote ) , who had expressed his willingness to marry her , but his mother was strongly opposed tothe match on accoant of Francis' character she having been delivered of an illegitimate child some time ago , and it was rumoured that this was not the only child she had had . It is supposed she entertained the purpose of ridding herself of the old woman , and to effect it purchased a quantity of arsenic , mixed it with a cake , and sent it to the house where Mrs . Jeffs lives by a carrier . No one , fortunately , partook of it , but the attempt having been proved , the prisoner was committed .

      LEitESTER Bank .. —On Saturday morning , the bank of Messrs . Clarke , Mitchell , Phillips , and Smith , of Leicester , stopped payment .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS , Wednesda y , April 26 , Petitions in abundance were presented against the Education clauses of the Factory Bill . Mr . M . Gibson put two questions to Sir Robert Peel relative to the interruptions of the negotiations with Brazil and Portugal , for establishing commercial treaties with these countries and England , but the Right Hon . Baronet evidently was not inclined to make any disclosures about the Brazilian affair ; he would say nothing , but he intimated that if the negotiations with Portugal had been sucoesafu ) , nod the duties on Portuguese wine had been reduced , a similar reduction would have been made on French and Spanish wines . The terms , however , whioh had been offered to the Portuguese Government bad not been accepted , aud therefore , so far , there was an end of the negotiation .

      The order of the day for going into Committee on the Dramatic Performances Bill was postponed for a fortnight . In answer to a question from Sir Robert Peel , Lord John Russell said he should offer no opposition to the Factories Education Bill going into Committee pro forma . He at the same time intimatedhis intention to postpone his resolutions on the subject until Tuesday next , as Sir James Graham intended to make certain amendments of importance to his Factories Bill .

      On the order of the day for the second reading of the Municipal Corporations Bill , Lord John Russell stated that the objects he had in view in introducing the measure , when Mr . Williams expressed his regret that the Noble Lord had omitted the Corporation of London in his catalogue . EVery article , he said , impoited into London paid a tax to the Corporation , which they spent in profligacy and revelry . From the articles of oorn , coalb , Bait , and potatoes they received a revenue of £ 100 000 a-year . This statement excited much laughter . Sir Jakes Gbahak opposed the Bill , cHitfly on the ground that it would put an end to representation , £ ive rate-payers a power over vestries , and pervert the application of ancient trusts for education and other matters . He therefore moved its rejection , and on a division the amendment was carried by a majority of 99 to 46 . After some routine business the House adjourned at half-past seven .

      TO TEE CHARTISTS OF SC&TLANR i Brothers , —In the Star of last week we published a short report-stating our intention of visiting a numfcai of towns to represent the tri . % 1 of Rot 3 rt Emmet for the double purpose of calling attention to the legal murder of that brave patriot , and , ' if poruW , iaise n much money n will pay off the debt owing by yoa-aad m t 3 Mr . Gsorge Rois , late general trease ? er for Scotland , under the Centra 1 . Gommitte ? . Bat to such an extent is political peddling sad Jobbing carried now a-d » ys by men [ professing Chartism , that a knot of four or five individuals bive actually taken advantage of this apcculatfon to fill their own coffers , and that too under the guise of Cbartiam - have therefore to cautton you against their false atatements , from which we select the following as a sample . They represent themselves as the Greencck CharSiat

      Committee , and that the object of their perambulating the country was to liquidate some debt of that association . We have enquired and find this to be a fabrication , tor out ot several p . ' tess they fcave visited , one of which was Paisley , where they got £ ll ; not one farthing have they given to the cause . At other times they pretend to be collecting money for an emigation committee . The Chartists of Qreenoek have not authored them , nor do they know anything about the ttih they are drawing . Their emigration scheme is that of some of their own number , who lately excited public sympathy by subscriptions and otherwise , that they might get to America , bnt on receipt ot the money , for the better security and pleasure ] of their corporeal bodies , and to guard against shipwreck en the shores of Columbia , they took a passage on board the free and easy lugger , commanded by John Barlycom .

      There 1 b another feature in this affair equally as bad as what we have here alluded to ; these parties are a mere mockery on the characters ; the attempt to sustain any town they come to is completely destroyed for a repetition by others , whose j object is a public bsnefit ; the people being once jewed out of theii money become disgusted , and , as a matter ot course , will measure the future by the past This representation is of such a ; nature , that theee gentry can do no nann , unless supported by the Cbartista in the various localities . All vie oftk ot you , friends and brothers , is to assist our company in your respective towns , and in the ( meantime to

      transmit the address of your secretary to Mr . Wn . Brown , SO , John-street , Bridgeton , Glasgow . The cause is yours as well as ours ; the debt which we seek to pay off was contracted by your representatives , for the purpose of carrying on Scotland ' s agitation . This mode of paving it does not take a farthing out of your pockets , for Emmetfs trial , when well represented with a qualified individual to personate the noble youth , is a treat seldom to be met with . By order of the Glasgow Representation Committee , Thomas Ancott , Chairman . William Brown , Secretary .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHEB . N STAR . " Mr Dbab Hill , —The "summons to judgment " by the Judges of the Queen ' s Bench , for next Thursday , May 4 th , has just reached me . Strangely enough , —although Judge Erskine told me I had not been tried at Lancaster , ;—yet a double notice was served on me , —one for the Lancaster and the other for the Stafford conviction ! ' I address my Shakspereans here , next Sunday morning and night , —and Bairstow addresses them on Sunday afternoon and Monday night , prior to our departure . On Monday night , I purposed lecturing at Northampton , pursuant to invitation , and will place myself at the disposal of the Maiylebone Chartists , ( by whom I have also been honoured with an invitation ) , on Tuesday night , May 2 nd , as I intend to be in town that day , in order to see Mr . O'Connor and Mr . Roberta , relative to our preparation , Jco . I

      Permit meto assure my brother Chartists , through your columns , that I go up to judgment with the calmest satisfaction , and with the feeling that I shall be honoured , indeed , by Buffering in the cause of truth . I have but one sorrowful thought ; it is that I leave my beloved wife iu so prostrate a condition that I cannot expect to see her again in this world . I I am happy to learn that my exoellent Wednesbury friends purpose committing the care of their Girls' School ( when their new hall is finished ) to dear Mrs . Ellis ; with the subscription at present going on for her , I have no doubt ! that the Messrs .

      Banks , Mr . Lowe , Mr . Fairburni and the rest of the hearty Wednesbury friends , will see her well fixed , either aa agent for the Star , \ vr in soms other additional post of profit , so aa to render her and her poor fatherless babes in some degree comfortable . I shall impress poor EHis ' s case , once more , on Mr . Duncombe ' s mind , when I reach town ; and shall also hand over to Mr . Cleave ] the brief memoir of Ellis : it would have been finished long ago , had I been furnished with complete material * : after all , it / will be very meagre , aa a memoir , compared with what I could wish it to bo . j I am , dear Hill ; Roar ' s , truly , Thomas Coopeb . 11 , Church Gate , Leicester , April 26 th , 1843 .

      MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL . A special meeting ofthe Council of the Borough of Leeds , was held on Wednesday last , for the transaction of hnsine 3 S . Henry Cooper M ^ h ^ n , Esq ., the Mayor , presided . Alderman Lottos moved , and Mr . Josr > h Clipi seconded— " That it be referred to the Valnation Committee to inquire , and without delay report to the Gonnoil whether any and what part of the Township or Hamlet of Cookridge is within the borough of Leeds ; and to examine the boundary stones of the

      Borough , and place or cause to be placed such additional boundary stones or pillars as may be deemed necessary /' The motion was opposed hy Aid . Gaunt . Mt . Hql-B . 0 YD , and other Members of the Council , on the ground that to carry the motion into effect would be an interference with the duties of the Lord of the Manor . The motion was negatived . On the motion of * Aid . Oaxbs , Mr . Maolea was added to the Gaol Committee .

      BOHOUGH SURVEYOR . The notice on this subject was as follows : — " It will he proposed , that in pursuance of the provisions of the Improvement Act , the Council do elect a Borough Surveyor in the place of Mr . John Child , who hath resigned that office . " On ihe motion of Aid . Maclsa , seconded by Mr . Graven , it was resolved that the resignation of Mz . John Child , the Borough Surveyor , be accepted . The Mayor stated that the General Committee of the Council had examined the testimonials of the different candidates for the office , and had selected

      four , out ofthe eighteen candidates , whom they recommend to the Council to select the Surveyor from . Those four were Mr . James BayUa , civil engineer , Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Office , Birmingham . ; Mr . John Grant , tof Glasgow , ) civil engineer , Exeter ; Mr . George Heald , civil engineer on the North Midland Railway , hetween Barnsley and Leeds ; and Mr . Thomas Walker , assistant engineer t © the Manchester and Leeds Railway Company , Manchester . The testimonials of the different candidates having been read , the candidates were proposed , and the Council divided—the voteB being

      recorded—For Mr , Walker 25 Mr . Grant ... « ? Mr . Bati . 13 3 Mr , Hg » T .-n ... „ . ... 2 The second notice under the Improvement Act was—** That application be made to the Board of Ordnance to furnish the Council as early as conveniently can he done , with a copy of the Ordnance Plan of the Borongh on the Bcale of five feet to the mSe , together with particulars of the levels which have been taken , aad all necessary references to the Bench marks by which such levels are marked ; and that the council do grant the requisite snm for that purpose . " The resolution was adopted , with a verbal alteration , inquiring the coat ot a plan for the whole borough .

      The next ( 3 rd ) notice was that a memorial be sent to the Lords of the Treasury , requesting that the Master Genera ] of the Ordnance , or other pro * per authorities , may he directed , in making the Ordnance Survey and Maps for the Northern Counties which are yet incomplete , to publish engraved plans of all towns and populous districts where the population exceeds 5 , 000 bouIb , on a scale of five feet to the mile . Alderman Luccock proposed a memorial to the Treasnry Board , in accordance with this notice , which , yr&a seconded and adopted .

      Mr . M . Cawood , who had put tha next notice on the paper , to call the attention ot the Council to the clauses in the Leeds Improvement Act which relate to Hackney Coaches , explained to the Council that considerable inconvenience ^ had arisen from the nonconfirmation ofthe new Bye Laws for the regulation of the Hackney Coaches . Complaints of overcharges were constantly arising , which the magistrates had decided that they conld not control or correct as the Bye Laws nnder the late act , upoa this subject , had been repealed by the repeal of the Act under which they were made . Aid . Lbpjon adverted to the dMcnlty which was likely to arise from the enactment which required all the Bye Laws to be punted on boards and put np in

      the . Conn 'Honse or other public buildings . After a short discussion , the Council passed to the next order of the day , Mr . Cawood offering no specific motion on the subject . Mr . Kewsah Drought hefore the Council the next notice which had heen given by him . He enforced the necessity of providing a proper set of standard weights and measures for the pnrpose of testing the weights and measures used in the markets of the Borough : and concluded by proposing— " That the Market Committee be authorised to employ a

      competent person , according to the provisions of the Act of Parliament , sections 287 , 288 , for the purpose of weighing or measuring any meat , provisions , or other articles which shall be sold by weight or measure 5 with power to provide such weights and measures , and other conveniences , as may be necessary , and-to take or receive such tolls as the Committee may think fit , not exceeding the tolls fixed in Scheduled of the Act . " The motion was seconded and agreed to without a word of opposition .

      THB MiBKEI COMHTTBES . Mr . Kbwsam , in pnrsnanoe of the 6 th notice , pro * posed that Mr . Councillor Howard he appointed a member of the market Committee in place of Mr . ConneilloT Cawood , who had resigned hiB office as a member vf that Committee . Mt , Howabj > begged to decline the appointment , as he was a member of another Committee which frequently occupied him for many hours a day . Alderman Gaunt proposed as an amendment that Mr . John Cawood he requested to permit his name to he reinstated as a member of the Market Committee . Mr . Howabd had great pleasure in seconding the motion .

      Mr . NnvsAM said he would gladly withdraw the proposal be had made in favour of the amendment , as Mr . Cawood had been a most efficient member of the Committee . After a ' few words from Mr . Mabus Cawood , woo thought his father would not have resigned unless he had meant to adhere to it , the amendment was unanimously adopted .

      ysxx y ^ -B-g-gr tolls , &c . According to the seventh notice , given by Mr . Nkwsam , certain alterations in the Rules and itegulaiaonB of the Kirkgate Market , recommended by the Market Committee , were adopted ; and the Market Committee were empowered to let the Tolls of the said Market for the ensuing year , on the understanding that the Council will defray the rates chargeable thereon .
