liKHTOS . —Ttpogkathkbs' Anniykbsaky . —The Leeds Branch of the Northern Union Typographical Society celebrated their aniuTersary on Monday , at that fayourke inn of plenty—ths JoHJf d'OXiot—the pride of as jolly and good-ca : ured a host and-hostess ( Mr . and Mrs . Moreion ) a 3 ever catered for the sons of toil in days of yore . This truly unique and elegantly famished house is located on the Pontefract road , some four miles from this town . It commands an extensive Tiew of the country adjacent , which is richly adorned with all that is useful and beautiful in Nature ' s power to bestow—emitting , as it were , from its luxuriant bed , in one direction , the timehonoured turret of Rothwell church , and , in another , that © f ihe spire of Onlton church , which nerer fails to excite , on account of its completeness of architectural design , stained glass windows , &c , the silent
admiration of all who have the taste to -visit it . Itwas in this really delightful suburban retreat that ihe members of as gigantic a machi ^ tthe Press ) as was ever wielded in this or any other *« ountry , chose ; to regale themselres—and they were riot disappointed ; for the -riands were good , choicely selected , and abundant . After the cloth was remored the ' usual toasts were drank and responded to with a warmth of feeling that did credit alike to head and heart . In tiie course of the erening , which was Tery besnifnl , the company , with one accord , lent themselves to a variety of pastimes , tha sight of which was calculated to "bring back the torpid breas- of age to long-forgotten rapture . " Thus proceeded the diversions of this happy meeting till : nigLt begun to draw her murky mantle over the goodly scene , when it broke up , each member highly pleased with the past . —Correspondent . \
FaTHSB 2 & 4 HHBW AJfD THE TeSXOTAL CiVSE . — The last week has been a glorious one for all who are friendly to the humanizing and t levation of the degraded and depraved victims of bad associa- ^ tions and bad institutions . Fathbb MiTHSW has been amongst us ; and has administered the pledge of tejlperaxcb io thou- ' sands , upon thousands in the West-Riding of Yorkshire ; who will hereafter have to bles 3 the day that brought him to our towns , and saw them forsake the maddening cup of vice and crime for the divine pleasures and inestimable ; advantages of intellectual pursuits . He has sever- ; ally visited York , Leeds , Bradford , Hnddersneld , Halifax , &o ^ & . c ; and everywhere have his steps ' been marked by high promise of great moral amelioration . May God speed him on his course !
KxsiGXinos op tke Tows Clerk . —We understand th&t on Monday last , Edwin Eddison , Esq ., the Town Clerk of this borough , placed his resignation of -the office in the hands of the Major . Continned ill health is the cause which , we are informed , has led to this result . There are several candidates in the field to snpply the vacancy , amonget whom we heard the names of Mr .

She had in ber hand , at the time , a glass bottle , ¦ and the collision was so violent , as to send her headlong to ihe ground . iHer arm was shockingly lacerated with the broken glass ; and she had to be removed to the Infirmary , where she is at present , not being in a fit state to be removed . Hacksey Coach Bte Laws . —At the Borough
5 e « ions , on Tuesday last , the Recorder again brongbt forward the Hackney Coach Bye Laws , which had been laid before him for confirmation He expressed his approval of their excellence generally , and of the careful manner in which they bad been drawn np , bnt pointed ont one or two of them which would not fail to give rise to litigation and trouble , were they to be enforced ; for which reason ht consider * d they had better stand over for another quarter for emendation ia the parts which he had pointed out .

The Grand Jury , not having been oischarged , this
¦ K 3 S done , and the prisoner was again arraigned , and under the advica of her counsel put in a special plea of " antrefois acquit . " This led loan argnment ; Mr . Wilkjas and Mr . Pasbley contending that as the Jury had found the prisoner not guilty of stealing the properly named in tho indictment , as belonging to James Burn , she could not be again tried again for stealing the same property belonging to Jam .-s William Burn . The prosecutor again underwent a long and severe examination , and at length u was put to the Jury by the Learned Deputy Recorder , Roben Hall , Esq ., whether the prosecutor was known as James Burn , or as James Wm . Burn . Tne Jury found that he was beat known as James Burn , ihat being the name in which he transacted all his business , and the woman was therefore a * - qoitf ed .

REPEAL ASSOCIATION , Tuesday , July 11 . The usual weekly meeting of to body was held to-day . The chair was taken by Mr . Magennis . : Mr O'Qhccbxl , after commenting on the 1 coudnct of l ^ rd l ^ non , said it was idle and absurd to talk , of agnation leading to rebellion and bloodshed . No , i ii was the conduct of such landlords as Lord Lor- ; ton that was likely to produce those calamities . But the Repeal whb preparing a gag for landlords , cf that kind . The Irish were a most enduring peo-, ple 5 or such a system could aeva have been carried-D Several members were admitted , amon g whom ; were Sir Valentine Blacke , M . P . ; Mr . Darcy ,. a * extensive brewer ; and John rower , E ? q ., of trortea , formerly M . P . for Waterford . The snm of £ 77 was landed in from Waterford ; aleo £ 31 17 s . from UmiLai in the same county .

59 private carriages , of four horses each , 40 with two horses , and 109 jaunting caw and gigs ; 320 cars of varions descriptions , earryingfrom six to eight persons each . Thus they had not only the people at that meeting , bm they had the high gentry of the county attending . He next alluded to the declarations of Sir J . Graham , that the Repeal meetings were . " rebellious multitudes , " and the glory of England would be destroyed by a Repeal of tho Union . He would not say that Sir James Graham lied ; but he would say he assserted that which ; was false , as he did when he charged the Catholic clergy and laity with perjury—tcheers ) . Peel and Wellington were more like rebels than the people of Ireland , becanse the coarse they were taking was calculated to lead to rebellion . No , the Irish had not only kept the peace , but they were resolved not to commit the slightest breach of any law ; and while they were
doing this . they were threatened by rebellious villains with civil war . Yes , he would call any man a rebellious villain who incited to civil war —( cheers ) . Sir James Graham spokeof the " glory of England . " So would he ( Mr . O Cohnell ); and that glory was well known on the continent- He then alluded to the bombardment of Copenhagen , which he said was done at a time of peace ! with that country , and he dwelt upon the injustice of that attack . He next ? noted the case of Genoa ; of Poland , of the Titus ? ates plot , of the conduct of Cromwell , and , finally , tho union ; from all of which he contended that England could not boast of her " glory" without being prepared with counter-statements . He concluded by observing that the Morning Chronicle had said thai the Repeal agitation v ? 9 b burning out , but he could assure that paper that it was only at the commencement , and they would persevere until they obtained their object— ( cheers ) . ;
Mr * T . Steels , in commenting upon a letter he received from America , observed that it was perfectly clear that a defensive , not an offensive treaty —and he solemnly made ; that distinction—that a defensive treaty as virtually existed at present between Ireland and America , as if it were signed by the American ambassador ; Mr . ifCONNELL said he stood upon what he had said a few day 3 ago respeciing America . There was no treaty , and would be none between Ireland and America . Mr . Sxeele—Hear , hear I I said " YiituaUy . "
EXTBAOBDISAKY NOTICE OF MOTION . Mr . O'Consell gave notice for the next day of meeting , that in consequence of the dismissal of the Repeal magistrates by the Government , he would move , in pursuance of the , practice followed in the Catholic Association , "That they would adopt measures for tho appointment in each district of arbitrators , instead of going , as heretofore , to hostile petty sessions courts , and paying fees to the clerks of bigoted magistrates , and that the Association would have legal instruments prepared authorising the persons to act as arbitrators . " —( loud and prolonged cheers ) . The week ' s rent was announced to be £ 1 , 690 , 5 s . 9 d . —Uoud cheers ) . The meeting adjourned .

Tho calendar into which which we are called upon to inquire , contains no less than 131 criminals : and by the returns published by order of her Majesty ' s Secretary of State for the Home Department , of the number of criminal offenders committed , it appears that during the last seven years , the commitments within the counties of York , Lancaster , Chester , Lincoln , and Surrey , have doubled ; thus exhibiting within that short space of time , an increase of commitments that is undoubtedly very discouraging . I
would fain hope that this is in part to bo attributed to the establishment of a more vigilant system of police ; but still I cannot suppose that the whole is to be accounted for in that way , and we must come to the conclusion that there has been a great and < rapid increase of crime during that short period ; There is one short observation in the report , with reference to the different classes into which the prisoners have been divided , as to tho amount of instruction they have received , to which I wish to ' call your attention . Tho returns as to the degree of instruction possessed by persons committed as criminals during the past year , shove a continuance of the same results as \ n the preceding year , namely , a decrease in tbo number of totally uninstruoted criminals , and an increase in the Bomber of those who havo received the smallest amount of instruction . At the same time there was
a gradual decrease : in the number of those who were able to read and write well , so that the returns may be considered as evidencing the general spread of instruction , and itsifavourable results with regard to those who had to any considerable extent received the benefits of education . I am addressing gentlemen of station and intelligence connected with the county , and who are no doubt interested by inclination as well as by duty , to promote the instruction and morality of the people ; and I shall , therefore , offer no further observations on this subject . But 1
beg to press on your consideration the statistical account given in this parliamentary report , of the state of the country , with respect to crime , and to impress upon you the duty of exerting yourselves to produce a better return for the . future . With respeot to the calendar , it is not necessary for me to trouble you with many observations : for , though it contains a long list of criminals , and though many of tho offences imputed to the prisoners wear a serious aspect , yet they are generally simple in their charactor , and the law with respeot to them is perfectly clear . :
[ Ifis Lordship then referred to some of the ca ^ es in the Calendar , commenting on their several points ; bat as they were nothiBg out of tho ordinary course , it is not worth while to occupy space with the remainder of his observations . At the close the Grand Jury retired to their room , and soon after appeared in Court with a batch of True Bills . ] The following cases were then proceeded with : — Wm . Marsden , 17 , pleaded guilty , to having burglariously entered the dwelling-house of Jonathan Tutin , at Sheffield , on the 3 Lst of March last , and stolen therefrom thirty-one farthings , a pair of gloves , and a Bilk bag . — 'Sentence deferred . Matlhpte Fewster , 30 , Was convicted of having burglariously broken into the dwelling-bouse of John { Singleton , of Givendale , near Pocklington , and stolen therefrom various property . Ho was sentenced to four months' imprisonment , with hard labour . ¦ ¦ .
GUTTING AND MA ! KING AT PATKLEY BRIDGE . John Sinkler , $ 2 , was charged with cutting and maiming Thomas Dunsdale , with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm . Mr . Blanshabd and Mr . Pulleine were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr . Dbarsley defended the prisoner . 1 . Tho circumstances were these : —Ia the month of September , 1831 , Mr . Samuel Winn , then a police officer at Ripon , had a warrant entrusted to him for the apprehension of the prisoner ' s brother , . hlisha Smkler . To assist him in the execution of that warrant , he took with him Thomas Sweeting , Tnomos Duudale , and Joseph Binna . Th > party proceeded to the house of a person named
More , who resided hear Palely Bridge , and who was father-in-law to Ehsha Sinkler ; here they found him and took him Unto custody . They were conveying him to Ripon , when tlio prisoner and a map named Lon / jtborne came up and threatened them , if the prisoner ! waB not liberated , to "rip them up . " Diusdale had then the prisoner in custody , and during a severe struggle which ensued he was severely wounded with a knife at the back of his band and in various parts of his body . Elisha Sinkler was then { liberated , and got away ; but . being afterwards re-captured , he was tried at tho assizes in 1831 , and received sentence of death , which was afterwards commuted to transportation
for life . Oar readers will remember , that , having been found again at large in this country , he was again tried at tho last spring assizes for this countyf or that offence , and was again sentenced to be transported for life . H » s brother , tho present prisoner , has been in the neighbourhood of i Pateley Bridge ever since that period , but , on account ofhis desperate character , he has hitherto escaped punishment . He was taken at unaivares shortly after the last assizes . All these facts weroprolved in the course of along trial , and af , er a lengthy address from Mr . Dearsley , on the prisoner ' s behalf , he was found Guilty by the Jury . —Sentence was deferred . \

BOGHDAU 2 . —On Saturday last , a small chapel , situated on Castlecowa Moor , about two miles from Rochdale , belonging to the Old Methodists , was struck by lightning . All the windows were shattered to pieces ; and some of them blown entirely out . The floors and seats were torn up ; great part of the ceiling also fell in ; and altogether the place was a complete wreck . Fortunately , no house was joined to it ; nor was any person within 'ho chapel at the time the accident ; took place . Tnis was much to be wondered at ; for platforms were being erected , and other preparations going forward , . to provide accommodation for the celebration of the anniversary , which was to have taken place the very next day . A large stove stood in the centre of the building , with cast irea pipes , which were carried right up through the centre of the roof . It is supposed that the pipe attracted the lightning .

TO THE CHARTISTS QF GREAT BRITAIN . Friends and Fellow Slaves , —You all know as well as I do , that g * eat objectB have never yet been achieved without great personal sacrifice . You may reply that you have already suffered much . I admit it . I feel deeply for your sufferings . I admire your perseverance and indomitable spirit . Few men amongst you felt more poignantly than I did for the bloody and cruel fate of the martyred Clayton and Holberry ; for tha unlawful and unjust expatriation of Frost , Williams , and Jones . I hope , therefore , that you will not deem it-presumption in one who has been so seldom amongst you , and so humble an individual as I am , to thus address so vast , so enlightened aud so powerful a body of men as the Char * tists of Great Britain . Bui to whatever motive you
attribute it , I cannot resist tue impulse of doing my utmost to promote , by all ~ tbe means in my power , the great object of all our hope—the People ' s Charter . I shall speak to you freely . I shall test your souls , and if you be really the men I have ever taken you to be , you will carry into immediate effect the propositions which I shall now submit to you . If you wish to be revenged of your tyrant taskmasters—ihe perfidious Whigs and truculent Tories —if yon desire to avenge the murder * ef Clayton and Holtoerry , and the expatriation of Frost , William ? , Jones , and Ellis , you will take the advice which I now , in the sincerity of my soul , tender to you . It is is yonr power 13 do it J and every man of you willbe belter , in every respect , by taking it , adopting it , and persevering in it , than you would be should yon reject it .
Well , then , there are 3 , 500 , 000 of you , or more , who , on the average , expend on useless , pernicious luxuries —tobacco aud xn< drink , at the very least sixpence a week . Jf you have the spirit of men in you ; if you are true Chartists , you will give up the use of those useless articles . Give them up at once and for ever ! Put by a similar sum of money weekly to that which you have been in the habit of spending upon those articles . Keep it safe and dry , m habd cash , for twelve months ; by doing which you will all be niCHEB and bettek than you are now . Besides , as a body , yon will have accumulated the enormous sum of £ 4 . 534 , 333 , in the short term of ore year !!! Begin at once . Keep the-money . And with the blessingof God 1 will come over to see you in September , 1844 , and lend my aid to show you how to carry the People's Charter , which you can do by simply taking care of your own money . Mind that !
Remember that for every thirteen pence you lay out on tobacco , you get but one penny worth of the stinking weed 2 The remaining twelve pence goes , in the shape of duty , into the coffers of your enemies ! Permit me to say another word in conclusion . Tha good , the pious , the amiable , and kind-hearted Father Mathew , an Irish' Catholic Priest , is now amongst you . Go to him : and take the * ' Teetotal pledge . " Never mind his being a priest . Think of nothing bnt how to promote your own happiness , overthrow your enemies , and get the Charter made the law of the land . 1 am , truly and sincerely yours , Patrick O'Higqins .
