      Catjtiok to Beeb-Sbliebs . —On Monday last , a man named JjMes ~ WMte , a beer-house keeps in Trinityetreetj wag bronght up at our Conrt-hoase , charged -with having two persons drinking in his house , on Saturday night , after ten o ' clock . It appeared , from the evidence , that the tvropeWHS who werein the kcase were two ostlers , who wire getting a friendly glass of heer , and who were "perfectly soher . This man ' s bouse has always horse a good character , ' and no complaint has ever been made against hist at any time . He was fined 46 s . and costs .

      A Sepobt of tbe proceedings at the opening of the Bradford Temperance Hall has just come out , famished hy osr reporter , and published by Mr . John Dale , of Bradford , containing eighty pages of well executed letter-press , for one shilling . The "Worsted Act . —On Toesday last , an Irishman named Patrick CantweH , was charged before tbe Magistrates with having in his possession a quantity of worsted yarn , of which he could not g ive » satisfactory account . The prisoner stated that he had bought the yam of a Morris Donnally ,

      who had gone into America about nine months ago . Mr . "William Atkinson , a manufacturer , could swear that some of the yarn belonged to him . Mr . Green , another manufacturer , also swore that part of another lot was his . The prisoner in his defence produced a number of invoices of yarn , and other articles belonging to the worsted trade , but they fid not appear to account satisfactorily for the manner in which he became possessed of the yam which was then shown in Court . He was consequently fined in the sum of £ 20 , or in default of payment to be committed to "Waiefield for one month . James

      CantweH , a young man , was also brought up on a similar charge , but the ease not being clearly made out , he was dismissed . Leeds Socialists . —On Sunday next , we understand , two lectures will be delivered in the Socialists Hall , by Mr . G . Fleming , Editor of the New Noral World . Society of Fkiesds . —The present week has been marked by the annual assembly of the Friends at their quarterly meeting , held in this town . The large concourse of members of a body so distinct and peculiar in its characteristics , has excited as usual , a lively degree of public attention . From

      all parts of this great county they c-aroe in like flowing streams . The mildness and beauty of a season like ibis adds materially to the interest of the occasion . Though neatness and simplicity in array form the general feature with old and young among this people , yet they could not with troth be called a drab-coloured assemblage . The collective wisdom of Britain , met in St . Stephens , could not shew such a band of plain dignified Senators as tie grave sober-minded men who meet , weightily , to . deliberate upon , and wisely to direct , the affairs of this peaceful community . Neither could the perfumed ball-room place its gar and gilded throng in

      rivalry , with that placidly cheerful group . Those countenances of intelligence and womanly grace which beam with that highest personal excellence , unadorned loveliness . There , it was sweet to see friends and kindred meet together in Undness ^ - pleasant the cordial greeting—the hearty graspthe sympathetic glances , and the affectionate enqmry—above all that hospitality which overflows on these occasions—receiving distant friends with open arms—spreading a table ' for refreshments , lid a eouch for repose . Here too is hospitable cheer attended with perfect sobrietysocial entertainment that needs no artificial stimulation . This is as it should be with Christian

      communities ; though the spirit of this world ' s wisdom has in part deteriorated this people , there is much to remind us of the simplicity and opfe-heartedness of patriarchal days , when in the cot of the herdsman , or the tent of-the desert-wanderer , the pilgrim found a welcome , and the stranger a home . A solemn meeting for worship was the appropriate prelude to the buaness-deliberarions of the meeting . Information wasjnven according to wonted practice , of the state of the society , this view of the state and

      prospects of the general body in this part was exhibited by answers to certain queries brought by delegates or representatives , from the various congregations throughout the eortntrv t from these answers , general answers were prepared for the annual meeting in London . The queries relate to to the orderly attendance of their meetings for worship and society sffairs ; to the preservation of brotherly love ; justice , and a consistent- walk in Hfe and conversation ; reading tie Holy Scriptures ; avoidance of vain amusements ; inebriety or any intemperance unsuitable to the Christian character ' :

      also to their "riews against hireling ministers ; smuggling and sll war ; and to the reh ' efand maintenance of their poor , and the education of their children . The answers were , in general , favourable . Harmony and brotherly feeling have marked their proceedings at this time . The concluding meeting for worship , was in character with the whole proceedings , : and was a favoured exemplification of the practical results of their views of worship and ministry . The simple sublimity of silent worshi p was there , bknded with the seasonable outpouring of clear sound Christian aimonvnon , and fervent snpplieation to the " Author and Finisher of our Faith . "

      WAK 3 SFIE 1 D . -1 EW AfEETTXG ROOJI OX THE "WoRKISG ifeTs Association . —The apartment-which has oeen taken by this spirited association for a meeting and lecture room , was opened last Monday evening ^ under the most encouraging anspices ; it is a spacious room , and the walls having been newly painted with tasteful and elegant landscapes and waterfalls , ( taken principally from views in "Westmoreland ani Wales ) add to it a most attractive appearance . A stage has been erected for the lecturer , and immediate directions will be given for lighting the room with gas ; in feet , the association is determined to spare

      no pains in fitting it up so completely in every department , as to prevent any future inconvenience . The Her . J . Cameron , in his usually eloquent style , delivered his excluding lecture on " Poetry , to an aadienceof at least 300 , and expressed his intention of lecturing on the Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Body , and illustrating the same by a chart representing a hnman skeleton , which we underhand the Bev . T . Johnson is preparing for the pnpose . A very numerous meeting is anticipated next Monday evening , as Disney Alexander , Esq ., JLD-, has kindly promised to deliver a lecture on

      "The Eights and Duties of Man , " a subject of TOal importance to all , but particularly the working « ases . " Education , " says a late revered writer , UBrr ersally diffused among a people , is the only Effians by which the gift of freedom can be obtained TOhoot introducing the curse of anarchy —the only wad which can permanently unite the " inestimable Wessngg of order and libertv . " We are therefore OfSgbted to see men like Dr . Alexander and Mt . Catteron patriotically come forward to assist , by ™ Qr leetures , to dispel that mental darkness on "Wati the thrones of tyranny , and the altars of superstition have ever been ereeted ; and we hail

      ?* spread of knowledge amongst our honest and Ejsastrious arfizans , as the harbinger of that glorious time when every system of priestcraft and Satecraft whieJLhave be ^ n imposed on the credulity of mankind Toiler the pretended sanction of heaven , = aB be swept away and held in eternal hatred . In ooeng onr present notice of this excellent association , we must not otoit to mention that Daniel fa&ell , Esq . his , during the past week , presented to the association five volumes of Buras ' s Justice of «* Peace , making nearly one hundred yc-mmes , froia Lupset HalL ¦ pJ ^ -iDENT . —On Tuesday afternoon , as the « npae Manchester and Goole coach was vTocee&ne

      PSLomr . — -John Hirst , of Heckmondwike Smithies , in the parish of Liyettedge , who j | g 8 cribed himself as a dealeT in eggsandhntter , was charged with enteringthe warehouse of Mr . John Flatman , woolstapler , vTakefield , with a felonious intent . It appeared that on Saturday last , as Ann "Whitworth , servant to Mr . Flatman , was looking out of one of the tipper windows of Mr . F . ' s house , she saw the prisoner go towards the warehouse door , where he stood for a while as if listening to ascertain whether any one was inside , and he then went forward . She told Mrs . Flatman , who shortly afterwards went . to the warehouse , and found the prisoner standing at the side of a " wool pie , " apparently examining the wool . She enquired what he wanted , when he wished to look at some grey fleeces and she directed him where to find her husband . As she was

      coming out of the warehouse , the servant called out that the prisoner had a bag with him when he went in . She went back to the " pie , " and found the bag , which was then produced , containing a fleece of wool , about 4 lbs . weight . The prisoner was afterwards taken at the "White horse Inn , by Roberts . A fleece of wool was produced corresponding witb the fleece found in the bag . The prisoner denied having been in the warehouse , and stated that he had never seen either Mr . or Mrs . Flatman , and wondered people should be so ridiculous as always to suspect him . He was acquitted on a similar charge at the TfiTakefield Sessions of 1836 . Committed for trial at the Pontefract Sessions .

      Fatal Accident . —As a person named Peter Brown , was proceeding to Stanley Ferry , about three miles from Wakefield , one night last week , he observed somebody lying on the road ; he called out , bufreeeiving no answer , he went and removed the body , which he discovered to be lifeless , out of the road . He then went and fetched James Thompson , ( constable , ) and Isaac Hodgson , and afterwards proceeded to Wakefield for a surgeon . It is supposed that the deceased bad fallen from his horse in a fit . He was recognised by Mr . Wilson , of Stanley Ferry , as Mr . Ebenezer Chambers , one of the clerks to the-works of the North Midland Railway , under Mr . M Intosh . He " had been living at Altofts six months , and would have been twenty-one years of age in "May next . He had in his pockets a purse and watch , and a ring on his finger .

      - Sheep Stealing . —On Thursday night week , a sheep was feloniously slaughtered and ' the carcase taken away , from a field near Chevet . The skin and entrails were left on the ground . Suspicion , as usual , falls on the railway men . A reward has been offered for the apprehension of the offenders . Fobestby . —A new court , called the " Humanity , " was opened last week at the Green Dragon Inn , "fiT ^ stgate , "VY jikefield . The members , who are pretty numerous for a new court , dine together on £ «« ter Monday , at the aboye honse . It'is ^ expected that this court will become , in a short time , one of the strongest in the town . The second meerins , to admit members , will be held on Saturday evening next . * '

      DEWSBUEY . Dewsbtjrt Radical Association . —A lecture on the " Coarser Food" Starvation Law was given in the Radical Association Room , bottom of Church-street , on Monday evening last , to a very crowded and most attentive audience , by Mr . Joseph Hadfield , of Heckmondwike . Mr . H . exposed at great length , the sophistry of Lord Brougham . The arguments which be brought forward last week in the House of Lords on the New Poor Law Bill , was shivered into ten thousand pieces . Malthusian Brougham was proved to be one of the most base characters that ever existed in this or anv other country . Mr . Hadfield made such a deep impression on the minds of the audience as will not for a while be forgotten ; and concluded his most -eloquent lecture , which gave the greatest satisfaction amidst loud applause .

      Shocking Accident . —On "Wednesday last , a young man of the name of Benjamin Hadfield , of Dawgreen , cart-driver , in the employment of Mrs . T . Bai ! ey& Sons , manufacturers , Batley Carr , was letting bis horse drink at the Anchor "W atering Place . Dewsbury , and owing to the current of the Jiver being rather strong , and the horse going too far into the river , both the horse and eartVgan to float down the Calder , with-the driver in the latter , which cad not gone far before both him and the horse " went to the bottom and were drowned almost in an instant . ^ The unfortunate young man was only about nineteen years of age , " and tbe horse was a young and very valuable animal . Also at the same time , a little boy who was watching the people get the young man out of the river had three fingers nearly taken off by the falling down of a wall upon which the spectators were standing .

      United Trades Society . —On Tuesday evening last , the members of this Society held their first meeting at the Stag and Pheasant Inn , Dawgreen , at which meeting the members were determined to make the Society worthy the attention of every working man . A meeting of this Society will also be held at the same place this evening , 31 st inst . , at seven o ' clock in the evening , when all those persons who wish the rights of working men to be protected , we hope will attend and enrol themselves asr members .

      HUDDERSFIELD . New Poob . Law Uxiox . Election of Gtjabotaxs . —The admirers of this detestable measure are making it a life and death affair , —for the return of the fire candidates , whom-they have put in nomination , who are the mere tools of the Commissioners , —and what with the advantages afforded them , " by having the overseers on their side , who give them all necessary information and assistance , —also the great number of plurality , property , and proxy votes , which the infernal law gives them , on the one hand , and on the other , the disadvantages which the labouring class have to contend with , —such as having only one vote , providing they have paid up their rates , nearly one half of whom are disfranchised , by the long depressions of trade , in not being able to pay up their rates—that it will be considered as amiraele « hould the latter

      succeed in returning those five gentlemen as Guardians , whom they have put in nomination , as opponents to this new starvation scheme . The friends of the poor , feared that some trick would be played upon them , when the votes came to be cast up ; to prerentwhieh . a deputation waited upon Mr . Shepherd , the overseer , on Tuesday last , to consult with him upon the propriety of having two individuals , on both sides , to meet the overseers at the poor houses on Thursday afternoon , to see that fair play was done . To which arrangement he ( Mr . Shepherd , readily consented , and promised to let them , know when'he would be ready to meet the people ' s deputation . Yet , strange to say , in the face of such promise , the overseer ordered bis runners to collect the voting papers in on "Wednesday morning . At

      two o ' clock the same day he sent for a person , known in this neighbourhood by the name of Old Judas ( an individual who has rendered " himself notorious , by pursuing to death those who happen to become bis creditors and are not able to pay , ) to assist him to cast np the ^ votes at tbe Court Honse . The public soon became acquainted with this scheme . A number of persons went to the Court House ; but , to give to the numerous readers of the Star a descri ption of the scene that followed , would be next to an impossibility . Ultimately , two individuals were appointed out of the assembly there present , to sit with the overseers till the business was finally gone through , the remit of which we will send you as soon as it is made known .- ^ Correspondent .

      Meetixg of B . ATE-PAYERS . — On Thursday last , a meeting of the rate-payers of the townshi p of Huddersfield was held at the R-amsden ' s " Arms Inn , at 10 o ' clock in the forenoon for the purpose of examiningand passing the fourth quarter's accounts of Mr . Shepherd and Mr . Bendley , the overseers " of the poor . Thomas Starley , Esq ., was called to the chair . The different items were read over and passed without any opposition . A vote of thanks was then passed to the overseers and the chairman and the meeting separated .

      _ Ek g laxd ' s Petty Blackheath . —From Penzance to the farthest corner of " Old Thule , " there is not a village , forest , or highway , measuring only an equal number of square yards , —as the south-west division of Fartown Hamlet , containing Sheepridge , Deighton , and Fartown Green , where an equal number of petty robberies , dirty , sneaking , low-minded , cowardly acts of annoyance and destruction , on a small scale , are committed . The sufferers , when asked . about the matter , only answer , that they ( the actors ) do not come 100

      miles off , —in fact , a regular courageqns thief would steal on a bolder , manlier , and larger scale or cease his occupation . , Coals , poultry , butter ' potatoes , breaking into cellars and , outhouses , generally ^ form the thefts ; and by way of cheer , and washing down the midnight feast , a ten gallon barrel of ale was about three years and a half a go , hoisted through . the cellar window of a fanner , near Fartown Bar , and nearly drank in his cart-shed . The chief annoyance consists in the destruction of garden , fruit , Phiub , and other trees , and stealing heds of onions . Whilst we feel sympathy mixed with , ragg j at the frequent thefts on the provision

      warehouse , our bosoms glow with unmingled MOignaium against the toicardl y midnight Turpin , Who , to gratify a mean feeling , prowls into gardens , a ^ d te ars up trees , only to destroy them . We should ^ be nearly inclined to think , that this *«*» ¥ ** * hdk , in his deeds of darkness , must Have fallen against posts , rails , and walls , till he has nearl y beaten the hair from his head , and become bald -in . his valorous operations ; or he is more fortunate ( in not stumbling ) than most of midnight prowlers . Our police and -. magistrates ' - generally know , and it is too frequently the case in hamlets there is often a bad family or two , or a companion or two , who are known , and often seen to perform these courageous feats ; but such is the village terror of the actors , and so many the means of annoyance , that a small village , ( particularly in

      winter ) gives a dirty-minded skulk , from the above cause a desire to be quit ; the false appearances , and often through the cowardly hearts of neighbours , these tcorthies generally ensure more " outward respect" towards their SNEAKSHIPS and families , than the honestest man in the village . Last week but one at Fartown , trees and coals skipped away on tiptoe , from their real owners as usual . As the days are lengthening , we advise the hamleters to provide themselves with a goose—not one well fed at a farmer ' s fold—but a cast-iron goose of huge dimensions , to hurl at the head of the sneak or sneaks . We likewise wish to observe , that birds of a feather flock together . The chief inhabitants are at length rousing themselves from

      their long trance , and a public meeting at the School Room , Sheepridge , to form an Association for the Prosecution of Felons , was called by hand-bill , for Monday evening last , at seven o ' clock . The bill speaks of the alarming number of robberies at the before-mentioned places . It is signed by John Whittaier , Esq ., and eleven of the principal inhabitants of the hamlet . Accordingly the meeting took place at the afore-mentioned time , but owing to other two meetings in

      different divisions of the hamlet , ; the . meeting was not ' so . large as was expected .. The inhabitants are , however , spurring each other , and entering rapidly into the association , which was then formed , for the Prosecution of Felons , and other Misdemeanors . One of the . principal rules of the association is founded on a just , necessary , and sound principle , namely , to prosecute any " person who compromises any felony or misdemeanour , which is committed on his property . —From it Correspondent . ¦

      BRADFORD . Shooting Match . —A pigeon shooting match took place on Odsal Moor , on Monday , between Mrr John Yewdall , gamekeeper to Mr . " Leali , and Mr . Tetley , landlord of the U'liea : Sheaf , Bowling for £ 20 a-side . Yewdall won , Killing 10 . pigeons out of 15 , and Tetley 9 out of 15 . besides killing two that flew out of the ring . After this match was decided , another was formed between Yewdall and a woolsorter , named Wadswortlu when they each killed 3 birds out of 5 , audit was a drawn match . Thev are to shoot it out on Monday , for £ 10 a-side . '

      Fire at Bradford . — On Mr . Coates , druggist , of Bradford , entering his shop , on Wednesday moram " last , about six o ' clock , he found it rilled with a densfl smoke , which , on the doorK-ing opened , burst into a flaine . The engine statiuiied at- ' the Court House was immediately sent for . but uot arriving , every possible exertion was used by the individuals who attended , and the fire was subdued without assistance of an engine , in abpnt an hour . -We . " understand the fire originated nnder"the .. flrig ' s , by the shop fire-place ; owing to some imperfection in the flue .

      the ashes from the fire had found-their way to the end of a beam . Mr . Coatt-s 1 ms but lately begun business , and by this fire he has sustained a serious loss , as the whole of the inside work of his elegantly fitted-up shop is most seriously damaged , besides the total loss of a large quantity of drugS v < fec . It was a most fortunate circumstance that the discovery was made before the fire Imd gained further head , as there was a large quantity , of oil and other inflammable materials upon the premises . The amount of the damage cannot be yet ascertained , but it is very considerable .

      Loyal Order of Ancient Shepherds . ——On Monday last , the members of the Happy Omen Lodge , No . 175 , held at the house- " of " . Mr . Paul Rayner , the Nag ' s Head Inn , celebrated their first anniversary , when upwards of forty persons , who had been members of a respectable free gift , were duly initiated . Their reason for joining this order , in preference to any other of the secret societies , was in consequence of its having dispensed . with all useless and costly regalia . After the business of the

      lodge had been gone through , the whole of the brothers sat down to an excellent supper , which had been provided for them by the worthy host and hos tess , and which reflected ' great credit on their taste and hosgitaliry . The remainder of the evening was spent in that social and brotherlv manner which so much characterises the order . The members were highly gratified with the prospect the order now presents of enlarging its borders , and extending its jenial influence . The songs ,- ' toast ' s * &c , went off with great spirit , aud the harmony was kept up till a late hour .

      Lxquest . —On Tuesday , at the house of Mr . Bakes , innkeeper . Great Horton , a . jury sat on the body of Timothy Rawnsley , a man aged 72 years , who had drowned himself in Hordon Corn-mill Dam , on Monday morning . Deceased was one of the old school of Radicals , and was a man of much information . For some time "before be bad been very infirm andill in health , so much so that his relatives were obliged to attend to him in the night time , but

      had not done so on Sunday evening . He Was found in the mill-pond soon afjpr six on Monday morning . He had of late been in a very desponding nervous state , and had , we { understand , got an unfounded dread in his mind that he should outlive his means of subsistence . The jury returned a verdict , that he committed tbe act when in a state of mental derangement , which seems borne out by the facts . He was a man much respected l > y all his nei ghbours and acquaintance .

      A Darixg Rogue . —Of late a great number of robberies have been committed on the linen-drapers , in the face of open day . On Thursday last , a lad named John Hudson , from Keighley , was apprehended for stealing a piece of Dowlas ,. ' containing , sixty-seven yards , from Mr . Beddoe , linen-draper , \ Yestgate . _ He was brought before the magistrate , next morning . It appeared that prisoner was seen bjv James Longstaff , apprentice to Mr . Priestley , hair-dresser , about five o ' clock , come out of the

      cellar underneath Mr . Beddoe ' s shop wfth the piece , and run with it in the direction of Mill Bank . He was followed , and dropped it near Mr , Laycock ' s dram-shop . Upon being captured and taken to the Court-House , he confessed that he was associated with some Irish packmen in Mill Bank , and the constables went in search of them , but they had run off shortly before . The ev'dence being clear against tbe prisoner , he was committed for trial at the next sessions .

      Anti-Slavery . —The Emancipation Committee in this town have appointed the Rev . G . S ; Bull , andT . Aked , Esq ., to Tepiesent them in London . They are now in London , to be present at the time of the motion of Sir George Strickland , "which was made on Thursday . Alfred Harris and T . Cat . tan , Esqs ., are soliciting subscriptions to carry out the objects of the committee . Lndecekt Assault . —On Monday , at the Court Honse , John Hebden , of Thornton was charged with assaulting a young girl , named Eliza Wright , with intent to commit a rape . The magistrates fined him 103 ., with costs , £ L 2 s ., whichhe refused to pay ; but when he found that his commitment to Waketield was made out , his coura ge began to fail , and he pnt down the money .

      Drunk . ;—John Hartley , of Little Hortpn , was on Monday fined ( including costs ) 14 s . 6 d . for being drunk in . the streets on the preceding night , and kicking up a row . When the new watch-house is completed , offenders of this description will have to be inarched from it , like Falstaff ' s ragged regiment , through the street to the Court House in the full glare of Say . Mechanics' Institute . —A lecture was givfln in the Temperance Hall , by the Rev . Mr . Hamilton , of Leeds , on Tuesday evening , "On the Passions . " The lecture was well attended , and was a very interest ing one . Members weTe admitted by their tickets ; other persons , on payment of a shillingthe proceeds to go to the Building Fund .

      Your friends resident in Halifax weicome your return from exile . We congratulate you on your return to your native land . Our sympathy and condolence has been with you in your absence . The cruelties you have undergone shall never be forgotton by us , and tliosejwho have / been the cause of them shall not be forgiven for many days hence . They banished you from the land of your bifth , although your lives were unblamable , ' and your conduct irreproachable . You infringed upon no rights , public or private ; nor violated any known statute . Your oal y offence was your poverty , not being able ' -to ^ procure more than seven ' . shillings per week to subsist on , yourselves and families . Your only crime , you tried to better your conditioii . For

      this you were exiled from your country—the home of your fathers , arid all that was dear to you in life . The gardens which you cultivated—the flowers which you raised—and the books you deli ghted to read all were , compelled to leave thousands of miles from you . These rural and virtuous employments , you were forced to exchange for a vile country , whose hills furnished you no interest--vallies which you could not admire—^ flowers which gave you no delight—and above all company with whom you could not associate and respect ; arid to this

      unmitigated toil of bod y , and torture ofmirid youhavbhad to endure , and no wonder that these and other ills which you had to contend with , should in some measure have uriderinined your constitution and injured your health . Thanks to thatkind Providence which has been the anchor of your mind , and the guide of your steps in al 1 the dangers and difficulties you have passed through , to your landing on Britain ' s shore . We repeat , we rejoice at your return ; we congratulate you , and your dearest connexions , on your return to the bosom of your famir lies , and the circle of ( t vour friends arid brothers .

      In conclusion allow us to iriform you that the warfare is not ended—nor yet the coriqu est fully achieved . The monster which bound you is still at large , and has in its iron grasp the five Glasgow Cotton Spinners , ready at any moment to send to the place froiaswhich you have just returned . You must again buckle on your armour , for there will be no place there can be no peace in this country till the rights of labour be , acknowledged and conceded .

      KEIGHLEY . . Mretijjg At Kkighiev . —During the past week , the men of Keighley have witnessed another proof of the damningullauy of the Whigs and Torie ^ . The Editors of-tliL * Nort / icrn Star iuquired last week if the men of KHigbley were nsleep-r-if they had given up the contest . Asleep ^ what , when monsters , bearing the semblance of human form , were planriiri «' schemes such as never before entered into the heart of mnn to conceive ! . No , the men of Keighley have not slept , they have been wide awake , and yet for all that , they have been duped . Last Monday , a Vestiy Meeting was held , to elect all the Panshofljccrs for the ensuing year , under the oldLaw ; for , thank God , the new . one has liot Yet dared ib raise

      its hideous head up atnongstus . The meeting , which was nmiierousl y Bttended , was adjourned iht 6 the iNew Market Place , when four persons , of humane charactery arid enemies of the New Poor Law , were propped , by the RndiVal party , to nil the office of headOverSeers . TUery ?* jw ? cto 4 / e * proposedfourbthers , of the oppdsite character , and , on the motion being put , the Rndicals carried theirs b y a large majority . Mr . A . Wildman and Mr . S . Sunderlnnd were then proposed for the office of assistnnt overseer , the show of hands were declared to be in favour of the former gentleman ; | Wliereupon Mr ; : Sunderland ' s friends demanded a poll , which was agreed to take place the following morninff . After the other

      officers were elected , the rneeting separated , theLiberal pjarty congratulating themselves on the little opposition they had met with , and fondly imagining that the business was settled to the satisfaction of all parties . This wru » , however , but of short duration , barly next morning the patriotic Mr . Wildman , instead of exerting Ins influence amongst his friends : to place himself at the head of the poll , inarched off to Gnrgrare , to get himself and the four rejected would-be Guardians of the poor returned as Overseep . LeavingvMr . Snriderland and his friends to poll as long as they pleased ? Yet even this strand

      piece of villainy , glaring as it was , might have been overlooked , had it been the first trick of this sort which the same parties have played . Last week , a vestry meeting was called to appoint four persons as assessors . Ei glitpersons wereproposed to fill the omce , four by the Radicals , and fourhy the opposite ¥ + ZL «? S ' ¦¦ ¦* ^« «> takWg P lace , ; the Radicals returned their four byla large majority . After the meeting had divided , a Mr . Smith , one of the bead constables , remarked that they would send the whole p i the names to Skiptori , and let the proper authorities appoint whom they pleased .-, Some one in the

      uieeQDg , now , ever , ; remirided him that they woul ^ be acting contrary to the will of the vestry . " Oh , oh , " quoth the consciejitioua keeper of the peace , " it wiUnotbe ei ^ er tne first time or the last that we have acted contrary to the mYlaf the restry . " The Ween s man was as good as his word , ar id the four persons rejected by the vestry were returned . Scenes such ^ the se are calculated to keep men a ^ ake , unless mdeed , they h ve drunk of the cup of oblivion ! tint thesj are not the only sources Of vexation . lwelve _ persons have been nominated to fill . the oftce of Guardians under the New . Poor Law . Six ol them , sworn enemies to the New Poor Law . have Wnammateo . ^ y tbe Radical party ; the other six , all ardent admirers 6 f this imquitous uuuuiivua

Should they , however , prove true , we shaU not fail to notice * ™ next week . Meanwhile , we hope the people of Keighley will reflect seriously on all this , and consider that the fertile / source of aU . these vexations is nok-re ^ resentation . And that so long as they a ^ debarred from having a voice in thl making of the laws b y which they are governed , they ^ may expect nothing but disappointments arid frauds , such as here eriumerated / lac
