These vortMes met on Monday last , to spend ihe people ' s money , to mortgage then l&ix * ar for fourteen years to Wing brutality , ¦ starvation , ignorance , and taxation . Tbe \ -want £ 35 , 000 for a "job , " or they will hi satisfied Tvitb . a nest-egg of even i' 10 , 0 OU , upon which , the people will be foTced to lay many golden eggs in the Whig nest . The worthy Mayor enlightened the Concealers with a recommendation from another
Rus-SELL , an arcmteBt—behave a cabinet niaker of thatnamej-T ^ HKto the superior excellence of the ' silent system . How long are we to be cursed with this generation of Russells r The worthy Mayor approves of tie silent system ; now it so happens that his taciturn habits ensured for him-the good opinion , or rather tb « [ good ? rord , of -all the Leeds goodies } , but : the little Lord , his master , finding ^ e -lj ^ efi ^ o ^ garrQlityj is againsj , tite gsyndng prine ^ e ? Usaias to ttSs
piir-, - % * u . dt the liusmess , fhe Mayor and hk t&l&lef imffiti ^ ftit out , while we endeavour io arrest the "job" in the onset . The Mayer " could not—he regretted , he could not—give more information as to the amount likely to be required ; " and , WMa-Uke , merely required ihe *' - admission " the " principle ; " which means , in other words , the means of spending as much money upon this "job " as the Leeds Privy Councilldrs shall see fit .
Alderman Williamson is a remarkably clever fellow , and " takes time by the fore lock /' . He , foreseeing what Whig domination is likely to lead to , prognosticates the hereafter necessity of adding to any Honor concern , which may be now built . Yes , the splendid misery created by your rale of three laws , will , like the " edicts recorded in Daniel and Ezra , raze the peasant" s cot , and rear dunghills , or rather eaols , upon its ruins !
These council conclaves are the places where our Legislators will be henceforth educated in the art of finance ; and the places from whence they will be promoted , when sufficientl y instructed in the art of expediency , to sit in the great council chamber of the nation . They remind us of the blooding-eover " of the sportsman . When
young dogs are to be entered , they are sent , previousl y to the legitimate fox hunting season , to kill cubs in close covers , from which the young foxes cannot break . These Leeds hounds are now in a state of probation , previous to being entered into the staunch pack . They are blooding themselves upon the people , who cannot escape the rabid crew .
Whether or no , a gaol is necessary , is not just the question . The real question , and the one which the council should insist upon" having before them , is , the exact amount of money : which , with strict Teference to economy , is indeed required &r the erection of the braiding ; and to this part of the question we trust , that not only will the few honest councillors keep the "jibing " ones , but also the one to which the
ratepayers of Leeds will direct their attention , and at once . The taciturn propensities of tie -worthy Mayor , gained for him the belief that he was " no party man : ' " but we do hereby , and henceforth declare him to l » a Whi g of the RUSSELL school : and that however , a slight difference of opinion may exist between ^ master and man , as to all matters of speech , we pledge ourselves that bo disunion willbe diseernibfe in their mode
Of action . The Morning Chronicle lauds the good sense of the people of Manchester , in their endeavours to possess themselves of a aew « Finally" Reformed Whig Corporation . : —let them read the Leeds " job / ' and then will the rate-payers exlaiin , " from *« ft a set , good Lord deliver us !" ' The £ ' 50 , 000 which . Trill be expended upon the g&ol , would ,.. if properly applied in loans to the \ rorking people , Tetuni a large per centag-e and make the eaol altos-ether
unnecessary . " _ We shall keep an eye upon the worth y Went Mayor , and his young pack of . Leeds aw makers . No wonder , " that with such legislators , we should require a jail with a n&giiificent exterior , to please the eye of &e rich , and a miserable silent interior to gratif y their vengeance upon their victims .

ae found it . Mr . WAKLEY made his Ipeeth : it was a good one ; and , what is better , —considering the class to which he made ii , —it was a bold one . He said truly chat he was perhaps the only man in that Uou ^ e crho would so brave their prejudices ; and lie ' might have added , their hearty contempt fur a popular : defender . His speech was not answered by the LpRD Advocate , who really spoke the sentiments which regaijxie debates in the House of Commons ,
wh-m lie stated , that he could not rely upon an oil Acquaintance with the Houourabl Me : rtbtr for Finsbvry , as a means of softening-his a 3 jerity . Twentyrfive challenge ^ says thy iioko ADV <^^^ % ^ re . aUp . w e ^ i the prisoners ; - bnt he forgoj ; the repj . ^^ Horxe Tooke to the Chief Justice of the King ' s . Bench , when that Judge toM him that he had no reason to complain of the Jury , Laws , as he had the power of selecting twelve from the pannel . - " Yes , " said
Tooke , " but its a difficult job to pick twelve sound oranges out of a basket of rotten ones ! " Such was the case ^ with the pannel -from which the Poor Spinners had to select . Xot a man of their Order was in the Jury Box , but all were men living upon their prder . Iu eulogising the ScotebTmode of Trial the Learned Lord said , that the Prisoners' Counsel has the advantage of the last word with the Jury . No ; he has not !
The . retained Counsel for the Taxing Government , and monopolizing nioneymonger , —tie Judge , has the last word . Again he told the House that the Sheriff oi Lanarkshire had reported that life was not safe in Glasgow without one hundred horse and one hundred foot soldiers . Mark , all this we / ft io prejii'h' e the very tribunal now appohded to dvcide upon Trades Unh . ns . ' All thai which comes from any Honourable Member is law : and even " the hob ° -obiin
ravines of Mr . Sheriff Alliso . x , who seems to-have made himself doubly-diligent in thi- ? affair , is good evidence against the spinners .- In short , the Lord Advocate ' s speech was a thread from his old silky skein ; a soft material in which he abounds . Hi * forensic effusions ,-& : 1 nsparliamentary ebullit ion , were ' miserable failures . He could not steer through one short speech without falling foul of jne rock , BiiOUGHAM . For Ins temerity , we pity him .
. N extfollowed Sir E . Sugdex , thepensioncl Iri » h Chancellor . He merely said , that he hadcarefully read every word of the evidence agjiinstthe spinners , — -which of course we nru ~ t believe , —and that the verdict , judgment , and sentence was just : and that he approved of it . The " Liberator '' followed , by perfectly agreeing with Sir E . SuGDEN . The whole speech of fhis nondescript animal , wa = of a most curious description : a kind of bank circular , all having reference to the
necessity of making « CAPITAL " flow into reland . ' The most of this poor old gentleman ' s raving was a repetition of his oft reported speech to the Trades of Dublin . •'• ' A .-s to apprenticeship , "' says the former Tmdes Counsel , " the parents would correct any abuse likely to arise from an over stock ; as they would see whether the market for their labour was likely to be over stocked ! ' This is giving the parent seven yeurs foresight . We wonder whether DaXIEL would discount a seven vears bill ? The absnrdit \ of this follv admits not o i
remark .. Again says our modern Solon , " 1 am the friend of the working- " man- ; " but , " says this Lycurgn ? , "it is shocking to tliiiikthal-a man can now go to Glasgow , amuse himself , and return with - " a belter suit of clothes than he could have procured in Dublin , for the sum spent on journey , clothes and all . " Xow , will not the Dublin tailor at once see thut the Bankr- ' s QBJKCT-7 * to reduce the Irish usages to the Glasgow standard ? This'is the " Liberu-/ orV method of making " CAPITAL "" flow into Ireland ! that is "capital" for which
labour may be purchased at half-price !! " Pour murders , " he says " were committed by the paid assassins of the clubs , appointed by the Unions . "' Let tjie Unions answer Ihufior themselves ; but for ourselves , we say . that every drop of the blood of the murdered lies at Daniel ' s door , inasmuch as he lived upon that very species of traffic until he found the £ 10 of the middle man better than t , he pence of the poor man . " A standing army of < Welters' is kept up , " says the friend of the working classes ; THOSE also , are of his appointment ! But the part of his speech , which was most in
point , was the pitying sorrow for the poor old man ; ¦ - « remove Aldermen Barley , Sirb , . and Black , " says the pacificator , and the police will be an admirabl y efiicient body ; that is , let " MuLGRAVE and myself' ' -have another " JOB . " The , fact of the bland and modest OToxnell , reading extracts from the violent speeches of OaSTLER , STEPHENS , and Feargus O'Connor , was in keeping with his wholepeaceful career : " HIS LIFE is" OUR " answer , " Dan teaching the ceremonies , - Teminds one of an elephant dancing-a minuet !
2 s ow for the summary . If the trades agree to the mode of enquiry adopted by the House of Commons , they are then represented in the present Parliament ; for , as we predicted , the great money monger , SPRING RlCE ha 3 snaffled the question from Mr . Wakley , and coaxed it from the " Liberator " - Now , what is the object of the inq uiry ? Is it to give effect to Trades Unions ? If so , well . But would a committee
of the House dare to do so , even if inclined ? No , no ! Capitalists would not allow them ! Therefore , O'CONNELL , who was cheered all through , and a portion of the injudicious working people , have got the Trades into a dilemma , from which we shall endeavour to relieve them .

¦ ¦/ Now , one word upon the general question . The people must observe , first , that IVJr . O'CONXELL is at war with the RULE § of the Trades , while he directs ano » tier warfare against the Trades as--the nerpetr&tors of all the murders which have been committed . Observe ; "he wishes to protect the really worthy and industrious tradesman . " Such i » the object of the Rules ; and , mark , that the Rules are made not by the WORST but the BEST , the chosen of the bodv ; and it is into the Rules which are here-\
after to govern the Trades , and not into the characters of the fallen or the perpetrators of the foul deed , which the Committee will have to inquire and decide ; and upon which the Hoa <; e will be called to legislate . In conclusion , compare the treatment of Trades Unions by the "Ministry now , with their position when Earl SPENCER was
their " Correspondent ; " when the King was their " servant , " and the Parliament their " slaves : " reflect upon the change , and tremble for your Order . But for one ray of hope . If O'CONXELL and "' MULGRA VE are , indeed , "COXSPIRATORS " which-we suspect . them to be , THE SPINNERS SHALL BE SAVED , or tlie ..
G'CONNELL ADMINISTRATION SHALL CEASE TO EXIST . To some , this will appear idle boast ; but Lord MULGRAVE and MT .-O'CONNELLwill at once understand THE HINT !!!

TO THE EDITORS OK THE NORTHERN STAR * Gentlemen , —Permit me , through the medium of your widely-circulated and valuable paper , to state a few facts as regards flogging ia the army , in the case of Private Roylance , a poor fellow who was punished for taking a saddle . This man was recommended to Mr . Higgins , on his joining the regiment at Newbridge , in Ireland , on the 31 st of March . On the 8 th of May , he fetched a horse from Dublin , for Mr . Higgins , and on that day Mr . Higgins went on leave to England . Thid horse , before his fetching him , had been tept in a warai stable , and which , being exchanged for a cold one , the horse in consequence got a violent cold ; -he was
sent to the nding-school every morning , and he generally came out distressed , and not . having sufficient clothing for him , he generally had to be walked about till he was dry . About the end of May , the route was sent for the ] 5 th to embark for -England , and this man was ordered to march with the first Division ; but , by some mistake at the Adjutant-office , he was obliged to go with the last . The veterinary burgeon had left , and the . march so close , "he could get no medieine for the horse , and it was obliged to walk the first all the way to Dublin , where he applied to a veterinary surgeon and paid the expense himself , out of his daily pay . He was obliged to leave" the-horse , as he had got orders to make all speed to Leeds , Mr . Higgins' leave of absence having expired . On arriving at Leeds , he
reported himself to the Adjutant , who told him to sro to Mr . Higgins ; when he went to him , he > coldediim for not coming with the troops , and told him he would not pay him his coach-fare , as he said be ought to have come by the first Division . He told him the cause , but it was all to no purpose , as it was his ' only plea for not paying him the 8 s . The troop he was attached to stopped at Halifax , therefore he was forced to sleep in the stable amongst the horses , as he had -neither pay nor bed . He reprimanded him again in a few days , and he ordered him to go to the house , where he threatened to send him to his duty for wearing his servant ' s hat ; but after all , he would not let him go . He made out the bill he owed him , but would not put the coachfare in . He left him two davs after , for ordering

BEER HOUSES . We had prepared a long article upon the Beer-House-Xeepers , but ; . at the desire of a deputation from the Leeds body , we have been induced to postpone it for the present , as a" large meeting of the Leeds Beer House Keepers is now under consideration ; if it be held we shall have great pleasure in attending ,
and divulging out plans for their protection . The Beer House Keepers of Bradford have written to us to say / that a deputation hag been appointed to confer with us on the subject . Would it not be better for them to attend at the Leeds meeting . Those interested in the subject in other Towns , would do well to follow the example of their Bradford friends .

Badcock , who said ; it was a private affair , and he Would have nothing to do with it . He ? had no other way of getting his money than thef way he did , arid : he had to be sixteen days on one penny a ? day for it .

a soldier is found guilty before he is triedi The man underwent his punishment , wi ^ h the exception of eight lashes , through the timidity of : one of the farriers , who gave him twenty-two instead of thirty lashes . This poor fellow had to subsiat on 6 d . a-day for eight days , and had Is . 6 d . to pay for the cats which lie was flbgged ; withi This poor fellow is ruined in the sight of civilians , who ha \ T e not heard the case ; but in the eyes of his brother soldiers he stands with as unblemished character as before . Had he-not been worthy , he woiild not have been recommended to Mr . Higgins . » I remain , dear Sir , Your obedient servant , A LOVEit OF JUSTICE .

Leeds Barracks , Feb . 14 thj 1838 . Sirs , —Understanding that the case of Burton is not inserted , I have taken the liberty of communicating it to you : it \ v as inserted in the original , which was lost . Private C . Burton was found intoxicated at the time of evening stables , by the Serjeant of his squad , who reported him to the Troop Serjeant-Major , who ordered him to be sent to the guard-room . On hearing this , Burton ran out of the stable by the back-gate , and the Serjeant after him , whenhe made a jump to get over the gate , but the Serjeant pulled him back , and I believe , struck himvvith a stick he had in his hand : though I did not see the beginning , I saw the Serjeant strike him over the head , and then Mr . Hargreaves called to the Serjrant to strike him ; the Tiding-master ran and assisted the Sferjeant , and struck Burton like a d ( g . He was sent to the guard-room , and tried by
court-martial , and sentenced to receive 150 lashes , which he received . He deserted soon aftei coming out of the hospital . This is against Lord Hill ' s orders , for any one except a private to interfere with a drunken man . On the court-martial the Serjeant swore the man was drunk ; the riding-master swore he was sober ; ; and the Troop-Major swore he was . . ^ ' ^ president made some remark on the r ^ 4 mg-master ' s evidence , Roylance ' s , case was regularly reported to Colonel Badcock , who said it was a pr ivate affair , and he would have nothing to do with it . His sentence was 150 lashes ; he received 142 . Heyat is a man seldom in trouble . I remain , Yours , &c .

The ahove simple letters shall not suffer from any Editorial remarks ; but we think ourselves justified in exhibiting the blood , knotted-cat for the use of which poor Roylance paid the moderate sum o Is , 6 ii . Captain Boldero cannot longer require from her Majesty's Minister any explanation as to the cause of desertion from the British army in Canada from 1830 to 1837 ; let him look at our illustratipn and it will furnish the answer ; and as the army is now being recruited for the slaughter of the brave Canadians and the English Settlers in Canada , let
every mother , father , sister , and wife , cut the frontispiece out of our paper , and place it in view of the soldier-ioTing youth . This matter shall undergo a parliamentary investigation ; indeed , both Sir W . JVIoleswbrth and Mr . Wakley promised us to bring it before the House .
