That Sill was, as LORD ELDON truly described it, " trash" and " nonsense," nay it was more, for while it pulled down every bulwark of this Protestant State, it provided not a single secu- rity or check against the machinations of Popery ; not a single protection for the civil and religious Liberties of the Country. Had it been introd uced by a responsible Minister of the Crown, then, indeed, there might have been some difference in the case. But no, it was the concoction of the leading Radical of the nation,— of the patron of Annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage,— and Mr. WOB. TI. EY gave it his cordial support, and the weight of his authority, as a professed Tory, and as the leading County Member of the Empire 1 Such conduct is not forgotten ; he will find at the ensuing Election that it is not forgotten, and that those whom he thus slighted will slight him.

This Company is founded upon the Principle of divid- ing the whole of its Profits amongst the Shareholders and such Persons as have effected Insurances. To the Shareholders a fair Rate of Interest will be paid oil their advanced Capital, with a Bonus of One- third of the Profits ; and to the Insured, ( whether Shareholders or not) a Bonus of the remaining Two- thirds, in Pro- portion to the Premiums paid by eaeh on Policies of not less than One Year's duration. The Interest will be paid Annually, and the Bonuses will be divided every Seven Years. The subscribed Capital of Five Millions is divided into 250,000 Shares of £ 20 each, upon which Two Pounds per Share, amounting to £ 500,000, have been paid and invested ; and as each Shareholder is bound to effect and keep up Insurances equal to the Amount of his Shares, or to pay a Fine of One Shilling per Share Annually, the Company secures a certain and accumulating Business, the Profits of which will be divided amongst all who are connectcd with it, whether as Shareholders or Insurers; thus the shareholder has a profitable Investment of liis Capital, and the Insured participates largely in the Profits of a Company, whose Business is commanded by the Number and Obligations of its Shareholders.

The Object of this Company is to establish Lines of Steam Vessels to communicate regularly between the United Kingdom and North America, the West Indies, Columbia, Mexico, and the New States of America. Steam Vessels will proceed from the Thames, touching at intermediate Ports, to the Harbour ofVa- lentia, a Port possessing acknowledged natural Advan- tages, free from all Port Charges; from wiience one Steam Vessel of a large Class, with adequate Machi- nery and Fuel, will proceed once a Fortnight to Hali- fax and New York ; and a second will proceed once a Month, by Madeira and the Leeward Islands, to Ja- maica, returning by Bermuda and Fayal. Communications are forming between Jamaica, Car- thagena, Vera Cruz, Havannah and the Ports of South America. A Branch between Halifaxand Quebec is also forming. Lines are also forming to communicate witli the Main Lines from Glasgow, Liverpool, and Bristol, and also from Galway and Limerick to Valenti. i. Passages will be biought nearly to a Certaintyjn point of Time, which compared to sailing will be abridged fully one third. Passengers will have a Choice either of continuous Steam Navigation, or of a Passage by Mails on the shortest Lilies to the ultimate Point of Embarkation. Experience proves that the number of Travellers is increased by the increased facility of Conveyance; upon which Principle, combined with the Fact that the English Capital already embarked as well in South America as in Canada and other Parts of the Continent of America is enormous, there can be no doubt that the number of Passengers and the quantity of Freight will be also constantly increasing. This Company will also afford the most regular and advantageous Means for the transport of Troops and Government Stores. Constant Freights will arise upon the Thames and Valentia Line, from the Conveyance ofthe Produce of the most fertile District of Ireland, now almost exclu- ded by the delay of Sailing Navigation, and the re- turn of British manufactured Goods direct from the Thames. Estimates have been formed on actual Tenders or the whole Outfit, including Expenses of Navigation, Fuel, & c. The Returns are calculated upon the esta- blished Rates of Freight and moderate Charges for Passengers. Upon such Computations, the under- taking offers large and steady Profit for the use of Ca- pital, and the whole Expenditure will be vested in solid insurable Property. This Object has been submitted to His Majesty's Government, and tiie Act of Parliament for forming and regulating this Company has received the Royal Assent, by which ( among other Provisions) the Re- sponsibility of the Proprietors is limited to the amount of the Shares held by them respectively. As the Directors have taken Measures for putting the Undertaking into early Operation, it is required that a Deposit of Ten Pounds per Share be paid to the Bankers of the Company, Messrs. Whitmore, Wells, and Whitmore; or Messrs. Curries, Itaikes, and Co. to the Account of ( lie Directors. Due Notice will be given of the Destination of the Vessels already possessed by the Company, Rates of Freight and Passage, Time of Sailing, & c. All Communications to be addressed to the Directors, to the care of the Solicitor, G. Gregory, Esq. Sise- lanc, until tbe Company's House is iu Readiness. LEEDS INTELLIGENCER. . THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1825. As we do not see the application of a profound letter, signed •' a Capper," which we have received relative to the intended " New Town of Leeds," the writer will please to excuse us for not inserting a Communication which has cost him so much time aud trouble in the preparation. About a month ago, we stated the probability of a Dissolution of Parliament, and immediately on the Close of the Session, expressed a belief that such an event would take place a short time after the present Assizes. The two opinions were last week put forward by a contemporary as important news, just discovered, and succeeded by a few as- tute observations, such as might be expected from a paper almost worn out as the whipper- in of discomfited faction in this county. The duties which the Constituentcy of Yorkshire will be called upon to discharge at the next General Election are somewhat new; and, involving as they do, the rights, principles, and interests of the inhabitants of so large, populous, wealthy, and intelligent a portion of the kingdom, are of the greatest moment. There are now four Members to be returned for the county instead of two, and this very circumstance, as it will give us encreased power in the House of Commons, requires the more circumspection on the part of the Gentle- men, Clergy, and Freeholders, in choosing their Representatives. The first thing which, in scan- ning the subject, must suggest itself, is the mode in which the present members have fulfilled the trust reposed in them, and in this investigation we do not hesitate to volunteer our assistance. There are two sorts of duty which the Repre- sentatives of this county have to perform in the Legislature— the one a duty of principle, the other a duty of business. On the former score, the Whigs and Radicals have certainly every reason to be satisfied with Lord MILTON; for, as far as voting through thick and thin, for every measure and every proposition, however crude, wild, or dangerous, which any member of the Opposition ever advanced, if his Lordship has an equal, he has not a superior. One might just as reasonably suppose Lord MILTON would balk bis horse at a two feet wall, or a blind ditch, when following a pack of FITZWILLIAM hounds in full cry, as that he would hesitate to support any topic of Whiggery or Radicalism which might come before him. But here his talent, his merit, and his utility, even to the Whigs and Radicals, cease. Except to vote, without looking, at every thing he meets to theu- liking, presenting a few political petitions, and galloping helter skelter over an occasional speech, he does, he can do, nothing. Even with his own party he has no weight, either in the House or out of it, nor would the most dauntless Radical in Yorkshire, who had business to transact in Parliament or with the Government, ever dream of applying to Lord MILTON on the subject. Now, we ask, is such a man an efficient Representative of the greatest Manufacturing, Agricultural, and Trading County in the United Kingdom ? But what is the consequence ? That the whole ofthe duty of business has hitherto devolved on Mr. WORTLEY— that a Member affecting to be a Tory and to represent Tories, is not only their agent and mouthpiece in the Legislature and with the Ministry, but also the agent of the Whigs and Radicals. And we will do Mr. WORT- LEY the justice to say, after long experience and observation of his conduct in the House of Com- mons, that, as a County Member, for transacting business, he has no rival— that there is r, o person fit to be compared with him. He is unremitting in attendance, indefatigable in application, indus- trious and successful in exerting himself for the benefit of his constituents. No other man per- haps could have got through tbe mass and weight of legislation which was imposed on Mr. WORT- LEY during the last session, with equal skill and promptitude. From morning until night, and sometimes from night to morning again, either in Private Committees, or presenting petitions, or carrying forward bills— he was constantly at his post. He is besides what may be termed a clever man— he possesses a shrewd understanding— a sort of dry, hard, Yorkshire trafficking intellect, which often serves him instead of higher and more shining qualities; and he is, therefore, avery useful Repre- sentative of ourcommercial interests, though not of our political. But before we proceed we must offer a word in our justification. The preceding charac- ter of Mr. WORTLEY, which is just, as well as flattering to him, is also honest. We neither owe that gentleman favours nor seek them from him; nay in the < vay of trade we are not under the com- pliment to him of seven- pence in the year; but on the contrary, we occasionally present him with a specimen of our labours, lest he should remain ignorant of matters vyhieh it behoves him to know. With respect, however, to the duty of principle, Mr. WORTLEY has forgot himself, and betrayed his Constituents. I- le has, hitherto, been re- turned to Parliament by the Tory interest of the county, and his pledge was implied, if not given, to watch over and guard the Protestant Constitu- tion of the realm in Church and State. Has he done so ? We say he has not, we assert that his support of the late Catholic Bill was a violation of duty, an abandonment of principle, and a sacrifice of the dearest birth- riglits of Englishmen. In proving these charges, we shall be very liberal towards this Hon. Gentleman. We shall, for argument- sake, assume that he may not have betrayed any positive pledge, by adopting an opinion favourable to the principle of Catholic Emancipation; and this is more than he could expect from those who are hostile to that principle in ISlo. And now we ask Mr. WORTLEY, notwithstanding that allowance, how in his conscience, as an honest and faithful Representative of the members and supporters of the Established Church, he could have voted for Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S Catholic Relief Bill ? How could he, with a regard to common decency, not only have laboured to pass that measure through the House of Commons, FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS.— The intelligence which we were exclusively enabled to communicate last week, of the erection of a New Town of Leeds on Lord Cowper's estate, has excited a considerable sensation. We are now authorized to mention further, that, in the course of the ensuing week, the land in question will be laic! out for building, and that other preliminary measures will then be taken for carrying the project into immediate effect. We may add here, that in another direction, improvements are contemplated of a very desirable nature. Three Fields on the right hand of Woodhouse- Lane, beyond the Bar and con- tiguous to the Moor, and the New Church, will be shortly marked out for the erection of respectable re- sidences. Two Plans are at present under considera- tion with this view— one to open several connected Streets, and through them a short and agreeable ave- nue to the New Church,— the other to form an exten- sive Square, possessing the advantages of proximity to the town, with salubrity and retirement. The Earl of Sheffield and his amiable bride are daily expected at Harewood House to spend some time. We understand that Lord and Lady Grantham and suite, have left Newby Hall, in this county, for the Continent. The Marquis of Hastings and suite passed through this town yesterday, on their way to Harrogate. NEW CHURCHES— It was expected that his Grace the Archbishop would have licensed the new Church at Woodhouse while here on Monday last. We under- stand, however, that until it and the other new Church in Meadow- lane, are properly enclosed, he declines to sanction their employment as places of worship. As there are at present no funds for the above purpose, some time must elapse before either building is opened for public service. We are satisfied, at the same time, that his Grace has adopted the best and most effectual means of having the necessary enclosures put into a train of being executed.

DISGUSTING INDECENCY.— We had occasion last week to reprobate the practice of young men swimming in the Aire, and exposing their persons in the most shameless manner in the contiguous fields. This week we have to mention an instance of similar but infinitely more flagrant depravity. The fire at Messrs. Gott and Soils' mill, on Saturday night, an account of which we have given else- where to- day. naturally drew crowds of people to the spot during the whole of Sunday, and par- ticularly in the afternoon. Messrs. Gotts' manufactory issituated itmaybenecessary to state, onthebank of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and consequently immense crowds, amounting to thousands of spectators, at the time we speak of, were walking along the towing path near the ruins of the building destroyed the previous night. The majority perhaps were females, and many of them of considerable respectability. Will it be believed then that under such observation, and before the eyes of these women, a number of well dressed men stript oft'their clothes and bathed in the water be- side them ? We can pledge ourselves to the fact, and that two or three persons in a state of nudity shoved by femafes to plunge into the canal. We shall only add that no constable or peace officer was there, and that the offence passed unpunished* Upon this and other subjects, calling for redress, we shall ere long make all appeal to Mr. Secretary Peel, which may probably have the effect of bringing some persons to a sense of their duty. Tri » r, LEEDS DOG BILLY AND ONE HUNDRED RATS— This match against time for the Leeds Dog Billy to kill 100 rats in 12 minutes for 100 sovereigns, took place yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, in an unoccupied house adjoining the South Market in this town. About 150 persons were present, at an admission of 2s. each. Tbe rats were turned into a square pit, although a circular one would have been of greater ad- vantage to the dog, and would not have allowed the rats to accumulate. The dog, an iron grey, ( of a bull and terrier breed,) was then introduced to his task ; he commenced his execution, but it was soon discovered he was unlikely to perform what was allotted to him ; he ran too much after the game, and killed about one- third of them in seven minutes, when he sat down, panted from great exhaustion, and immediately retired. Three other dogs were brought forward, who proved worth nothing, and even with their assistance all the rats were not destroyed within the given time. A fifth dog was handed in, which demolished the remainder immediately. In o-\ r opinion, if the last dog ( a smart terrier) had been chosen at first, he would have com- pleted the performance within time. The whole lasted about eighteen minutes. ORGANIC REMAINS We are sorry to be under the necessity of stating that the specimen of former organi- zation, which we noticed last week, has, from acci- dental circumstances, been allowed to be broken up for building purposes, and is now lost to the scientific world. We regret this the more because, although several pieces of fossil wood, of a similar description, had previously been found here, and some of them deposited in the Museum of our Philosophical Socicty, none of these exhibits the root as well as the trunk of the original tree. However fortified, therefore, conjec- ture might have been by other circumstances, as to the class to which the remains belonged, without means of ascertaining from the radix whether they were distin- guished by " tap" or " sap roots," our conclusions were more or less problematical. The block we saw on Wednesday week in a great measure solved the diffi- culty, inasmuch as the roots which it displayed were lateral, and both in dimensions and grain very perfectly developed. All, however, at present left as is to hope that a similar specimen may, ere long, be discovered, which will be more carefully preserved. While upon this subject we are impelled to remark the wilful per- version of truth and affected indifference to fact, to which an unprincipled Journal of this town has resorted, merely because we happened to have a prior notice of the curiosity in question. In proof of this it is enough to mention, that, solely for the sake of contradiction, sand stone is called grit stone, although in a work, which the same paper must deem an authority, the quarry at Bramley- fall, whence the above specimen was obtained, is laid down as one of the former description. So much for impotent spite ! THE THEATRE— Miss Rock took her benefit on Monday, when she exerted herself with wonted success, in the Exile and Winning a Husband. We fear how- ever, the result was not as satisfactory to her or as commensurate with her deserts as it would have been, had not the machinations of some good natured friends scared away many persons from the Theatre. Without attempting to dive into the intrigues of the Green Room, we may be permitted to state, that on Monday morning we observed all the dead walls in tbe town, bedizened with exclamation in chalk of " Rock for ever." The object it is said of this manoeuvre, was to engender a belief that the young Lady in question, was about to leave the company. For such an insinua- tion there was not the slightest foundation, since ibat other scrawls, some of an offensive, some of a different character, respecting tlie other performers, have adorned the streets, but, we imagine without possessing any real meaning. For the sake of the Theatre, we would recommend those connected with it to keep their petty rivalries and jealousies to themselves. The exposure may stimulate the vulgar curiosity but cannot serve the stage in any wise. YORKSHIRE MUSICAL FESTIVAL Application has been made by Lord Granville, the British Ambas- sador at Paris, on the part of his Grace the Archbishop of York, for permission to enable Madame Pasta to sing at the approaching Festival in the Minster. The following is the substance of the reply to this applica- tion, " The very recent absence of Madame Pasta will not allow me to give her a second permission without materially compromising the interests of the Italian Theatre- Royal, and without making myself liable to the just complaints of the French public, which so well appreciates the admirable talent of this performer." — It is with much pleasure we have to add that the Directors of the Musical Festival, have had the good taste to engage that great master of his art, Braham, upon his own terms, and without any solicitation on his part, to lead the vocal baud.— Miss Stephens joins the music meeting at York; and Signor Velluti is in treaty with the Directors to perform there. We give in another column, an Account of Adulterated Flour, seized some time ago at Hull, and condemned. In allusion to the circumstance, tbe Hull Advertiser of Friday last says, - 1 For the credit of Hull, we can state, that though the abominable mixture in question was bonded there, it did not belong to any person connected with Hull. We have understood, that the line of £ 10,000 has not been imposed ; and that an application has since been made to have the flour restored. This we trust will not be granted." We also trust the demand may be resisted, and we really think our contemporary at Hull would do a service to the public, by stating above board to whom the flour did belong. Such a step is the more necessary be- cause the barbarous monopoly called the Soke, to which so many places in this County, including Leeds, are sub- jected, with respect to flour and the grinding of corn, not only encourages, but almost provokes, abuses of the very kind detected at Hull. We imagine some of our London brother Journalists will be rather startled, when we in- form them, that the whole population of this town and neighbourhood— not much less, certainly, than 100,000 souls— have been, time out of mind, . and are, ( with a few exceptions arising from residence on the former property of the Knights Templars,) compelled by law, not only to have their corn ground at one mill, for the benefit of the owners of that mill, but also to buy all their flour either of that individual or of those retailers of the article whom he supplies. The consequences are both vexatious and injurious. The streets are constantly haunted by spies and informers, who watch the servants of persons living within the Soke, and if they see them purchase flour without that district, and fetch it home, pounce upon the offender with the mischievous malignity of harpies. Proceedings are immediately instituted, and, to avert their progress, the affair is compromised for a fine to the Proprietor of the chartered mill, who from that source alone derives a considerable revenue. Need we point out the other grievances imposed upon our townspeople by this infamous monopoly ? Need we indi- cate the dangers to which the health of the inhabitants is thus exposed? or the losses which they sustain by so ruinous a tax upon their earnings, and so tyrannical a restraint upon their liberties f It is surely time to abate the nuisance. The town has already offered £ 10,000 to buy out the interest of the Patentee, but his demand rose with the offer to such a height as to defeat the object. Another course is now resorted to, namely, to try, hy proceedings at law, whether the inhabitants of the Soke are compelled to buy their Flour at the " King's Mill," the Royal Grant merely ordering them to have their Corn ground there. The decision of this question will pro- bably lead to some accommodation -, but, in the mean time, too close and searching an eye, we are convinced, could not be kept on the sort of Flour manufactured and sold at these privileged establishments. We wish Mr. Clarke, of the Apothecaries' Hall, were to make a tour of this province. JOHNSON, THE CONVICT. This unfortunate young mah having at the close of the Assizes been left for Execution at York, his case has excited a good deal of interest in Leeds. In con- sequence, a very minute investigation into the circum- stances of his alleged rape on Mary Finch, and into his previous character and conduct has taken place, the result of which is, a very general feeling, that it would be adviseable not to inflict on him tbe final sen- tence of the Law. A Petition has accordingly been drawn up in his favour, and signed by many respectable inhabitants, and seven affidavits sworn to, embodying 3 number of facts tending to mitigate the enormity of the offence with which lie stood indicted. With this Petition and the Affidavits, a Gentleman left Leeds on Monday to proceed to Baron Hullock, in the hope of obtaining Johnson's Reprieve; he has not bowever yet returned, and we cannot consequently announce the success of his mission, which at the same time appears extremely probable. The Affidavits we are sorry to say, exhibit so many traits of gross depravity, that we could not think of submitting them at length to our readers. One of them states that Mary Finch asserted her own Perjury at the Convict's trial Another by two persons deposing that she said, the crime was not perpetrated by force— One by a Person stating that he had previously had illicit intercourse with her, and ano- ther affidavit by two persons corroborating the assertion. One by Waggit the publican, stating that Johnson was intoxicated in his house at eleven o'clock on the night of his criminality, and another of a person be- longing to the wood- yard, alleging, that about the time in question, no noise was to be heard in that place. FIRE AT MESSRS. GOTT AND SONS'. We regret to have to mention that on Saturday even- ing, about half- past ten o'clock, a destructive fire broke out in one of the projecting wings of the east front of Messrs. Gott and Sons' mills, at Armley. The cause Of the fire is not ascertained, but it is generally ascribed to accident. When first observed, the roof burst forth m a volume of flame, and the fire continued to spread in all directions, subsequently, till the whole of the building ill which it originated was burnt to the ground, together with almost all the valuable machinery and other property which it contained. The moment the fire was observed, the alarm fl.- w for miles around, the public and private houses were deserted, and thousands of persons came to the spot, each trying with the other to lend assistance in extinguishing the raging element. About a quarter before eleven o'clock, the alarm reached Leeds, and produced great bustle and anxiety, and the crowds which poured from hence to the scene of conflagration were immense. All the engines in the neighbourhood also arrived there, but, in the mean time, the fire had reached to such a height and extent in the building where it broke out, that the exertions of the firemen and of the people asssisting were prin- cipally directed to save the other parts of the manufac- tory. In this they happily succeeded, as from the quan- tity of machinery, in one of the wings in particular, the loss ( had the flames communicated so far) would have been very greatindeed. Nothir. gnow remainsof the Mill which took fire but the bare walls, and the damage sustained by its destruction is estimated at about £ 5000. It was near lour o'clock in the morning before the flames were effectually got under; and previous to that for hours a pillar of light seemed to rise from the place, which illuminated the whole horizon. The premises we are glad to say were insured The engines which arrived at the place were— one from the manu- factory of Messrs. Brooke, of Itirkstall, two belonging to the town, and those of the Sun, the Norwich, and the Leeds and Yorkshire Fire Offices, with one fro. n the manufactory of Messrs. Hogg, of Holbeck. In the case of Suteliffe v. Howarth, at the present Assizes, some asperity being shewn by Messrs. Broug- ham and Scarlett towards each other, on a point of practice. Mr. Justice Bayley intreated as a personal favour that the altercation might cease, and promised that he would never come the Northern Circuit again. — We have heard Mr. Baron Hullock's acuteness and prompt dispatch of business at the York Assizes, very . justly spoken of in the highest terms, as tending greatly to the convenience of the individuals concerned, and as being a great saving to the purse of the county. It is stat. d that some shopkeepers are leaving Brad- ford for this to • 1, owing to the stagnation in trade at the former place. COACH ACCIDENT— The Leeds Union Coach, on its way to London, on Friday, near Stilton, met with airaccident, the consequences of which are likely to be serious. By the breaking of one of the axletrees, it appears the coachman was shook off the box, when the passengers being alarmed, some of thein threw them- selves off'the coach. The knee of a female was so dread- fully shattered, that it was feared amputation must take place. The ancle of another is also much injured. Three others were more or less hurt, but were able to perform the residue of their journey. A young man, who was outside, had sufficient presence of mind to make the attempt to get hold of the reins, in which he fortunately succeeded, and stopped the horses, and also prevented the upsetting of the coach NEW CORN EXCHANGE— A meeting of the share- holders of the Corn Exchange Buildings was held on Friday evening at the Court- House, when resolutions were passed, that, in consequence of the growing im- portance of the town, a Corn Exchange was required — and ihat the property of Mrs. Baron, at the to,> of the Market- place, together with the property adjoining, be adopted for the purpose, as the same had already been conditionally agreed for. Wm. Beckett, Esq. was appointed treasurer, Messrs. Nicholson and Barr, solicitors, and Mr. John Barr, secretary, to the pro- prietary. The shares, it was agreed, should be limited to the number of 160. The following gentlemen have been appointed a committee for the management and superintendence of the affairs of the shareholders :— Messrs. A. Burncll, John Cawood, Thomas England, Samuel Glover, John Hirst, Richard Kemplay, Jon. Lupton, Thomas Lancaster, Joseph Medley, jun. Wm. Osburn, .. Frederick Ritider, Joseph Shaw, and D. Underwood. OPENING OF THE GOOLE CANAL On Thursday last, a party of the Directors of tile Aire and Calder Navigation proceeded in one of their boats, suitably fitted up for the purpose, from Ferrybridge, where their new canal joins the river Aire, along the whole line, into the docks at Goole : this being the first vessel which has made the voyage. They found ihe whole of the works in such a state of forwardness as to warrant the expectation that the country will have the use of its great facilities ere the setting in of winter This mag- nificent work is nearly 18 miles in length, has seven feet depth of water, and is 63 feet wide on the surface ; it is crowned by 16 stone bridges of elegant construction, and eight cast- iron swivel bridges, and 15, or more, culverts, all of solid masonry, are laid under the canal, for the purposes of draining, and also of warping the lands adjacent. At Goole it is terminated by a large basin or dock, for the reception of river craft, 900 feet in length by 150 in breadth, which communicates with another dock, for the reception of ships, 600 feet long by 200; from each of which vessels are passed by locks into an outer harbour, 300 feet by 200, which communicates by two other locks or out- falls with the river Ouse, immediately adjoining the entrance of the Dutch River. The whole of this stupendous under- taking, which has been executed in the short space of three years, does equal credit to Messrs. Joliffe and Banks, the contractors, and to Mr. George Leather, of this town, the engineer. We hear that petitions from the several great towns in this neighbourhood are already preparing, praying that Government will make Goole a port for the exportation and importation of goods— a measure absolutely essential to the rising pros- perity of this district, more especially as all the efforts to make additional accommodation for the increasing trade of the II umber seem to be at a stand. VISITATION OF HIS GRACE THE ARCH- BISHOP OF YORK AT LEEDS. On Monday morning at an early hour, his Grace arrived at the Vicarage, in this town, ( from Harewood House,) to hold his usual Visitation, and to eonfiim such of the, juvenile inhabitants as had reached years of discretion. PREPARATIONS IN THE PARISH CHURCH. For some weeks past preparations for this solemn occa- sion had been made in the Parish Church at the sugges- tion and under the zealous superintendence of the Churchwardens, Mr. Richardson, of Call- lane, lvlr. wm. Lindley, Mr. Wm. Sykes, Mr. Richard Dunn, Mr. Thomas Sherwood, Mr. William Jackson, Mr. John Walker, and tradesmen had heen employed to carry tlieir intentions into effect. It is to these gentlemen to say that the con- sequent improvement in the interior of this ancient edifice is highly creditable to their taste and demonstra- tive of their exertions. The Church no longer presents the dark, dingy, and we may add, duty aspect, by which, to the disgrace of the town, it had for a consider- able period been characterized. It has heen thoroughly cleansed and painted, the ceilings whitened, and every necessary repair effected to render it worthy of its sacred purposes and of the highly respectable congregation who attend there. The painting was done by Mr. Joseph Wood, of Uriggate, and displays much judgment In the selection and combination of the colours. The Great Eastern Window has also been restored, and means are now taking to lay on Gas, for the purpose of lighting up several splendid chandeliers during service in the ensuing winter evenings. In other respects the same care and skill has been shown ; nor do we fear but in future the building will be prevented from exhibiting those marks of neglect and dilapidation which are at present so successfully removed. THE CONFIRMATION. The Archbishop arrived at the Church a little after ten o'clock, and was received at the door by the V icar, Church- wardens, and Parish- officers, & c. the Organist and Cho- risters performing, as his Grace advanced, llandel s Hal- leluiah Chorus in a style of great excellence and with a most powerful effect. His Grace proceeded to the Altar and commenced the Confirmation. The appearance of the Church at that moment and during the performance of the ceremony was extremely interesting. Thepewsbelow were mostly filled with the young persons who were to par- take of the rite, and as the females were more than twice as numerous as the males, the neat, and in many cases elegant dresses in which they were attired, ( very few appeared without caps), had a gay but chaste effect, which coupled with the solemnity of the occasion, excited an impressive interest. The Galleries were filled with per- sons more advanced in life, of the most respectable classes, and ill the Choir and passages leading to it, many Clergy- men were to be seen, robed in the several sorts of gowns befitting their respective Ecclesiastical offices. the Males and Females to be confirmed occupied separate seats, and if the motive which dictated this rule had been followed by an arrangement for those proceeding to the Altar to enter in at one side of the Choir, and those retiring to leave it by another, more regularity would have prevailed. We observed that many families came both in private and post carriages from a considerable ' distance to attend the Confirmation. THE SERVICE AND SERMON. About half- past twelve o'clock, the Archbishop haying confirmed 807 females and 48ii males, left the altar and repaired, accompanied by his Grace's Chaplain, the Rev. W. H. Dixon, M. A. to the Vicar's Pew. Prayers were then read by the Vicar, after which a Discourse charac- terized by sound doctrine and impressive eloquence, was preached by the Rev. Charles Musgrave, \ icar of Whitkirk. The text was taken from the 12th Chapter of the Gospel according to St. John and part of the 2bth Verse—" If any man serve me, let him follow me." It would be vain for us, within the limits of a weekly journal, to attempt a full outline of this excellent ser- mon. We cannot however resist the pleasure of endea- vouring to communicate some idea of it to our readers, trusting that the Rev. author may be induced to put it m a train, as soon as convenient, for a more general appre- ciation of its merits. He commenced by stating that the Apostles constantly referred to the example of Christ as a model of perfection, free from those ehequerings of frailty which the conduct of the most exalted humanity always presented. For this reason the example of the Redeemer was the standard to which all true Christians should endeavour to conform their practice— it should be to them the light of truth, and serve as the well known star in the firmament, by which the mariner steered his course— as the pillar of fire which conducted the Israelites through the wilderness— aud upon which the aspirations of mankind ought to be fixed in this worl. i, and their hopes of happiness in futurity. Every thing which the understanding eould require and the imagination could conceive were to be found iu the Ministry of the Gospe . In order however that the example of Christ might be avail- able, it was necessary to descend from its general to its par- ticular delineation, in order to trace the principles from which the practice of Christemanated. as it was only by fol- lowing the same principles that wecould. hope to walk in the same path of duty. In reviewing the life of Jesus, there were two great motives which influenced his ministry. The first, which was paramount to the other, w as his concern for God's Glory, and the second, his concern for the souls of men. He acted in uniform consistency with the Declaration of the Prophet, " I come to do thy will, O, God-," for the purposes of his incarnation were to re- store and illustrate the state of sinful man. Had the Gospel been merely a rule and duty of life, how far shoit wouid it have fallen of the true Temple of Christ, who was not only sent as amodel of perfect excellence to command our imitation on earth, but also to vindicate the Glory of God. He, accordingly, denounced the Speculates whom he found among the Jews- he refuted the opinions of the Scribes, and condemned the temporizing spiritof the Pha- risees— With what fervour, too, did he inculcate the love and practice of pure Religion! He would not listen to the t - adition of men, but demanded conformity to the W ord of God, and obedience to his Laws. To all the solicita- tions of the world— of sense and of selBshness, he was impregnable— but every thing engaged his heart which came from Heaven, and enabled him to glorify the Father in every faculty of his soul. Though clothed In the like- ness of man, he came prepared only to serve God, and ill that duty, yielding to no indulgence, shrinking from 110 suffering. Even in the sad and mournful exigency, when, as the Representative of our Sins, he was led to say, » let this bitter cup pass from me," the great principle of his Mission, the next instant, resumed its sway, and he ex- claimed, " Hut not my will but thine be done. Not even the malignity of his enemies could swerve him from the object of hisMinistiy, and when His awful tune arrived, he exulted, saying, " Now is the Son of Man glorifled, and God in him." We were thus enabled to form a just estimate of his life and practice— we were admitted within the veil, and saw in the sanctuary of the Re- deemer, the principles whieh guided his conduct, and the Glory of God exemplified. To us, said the Rev. Preacher, addressing his Rev. Brethren, the Ministers ot Ihrists Gospel, it is not permitted, to shine with purity and splendour like the Son of Righteousness itself; but we are the bearers of our Master's honour, and we should be zealous to exact from ourselves a rigid adherence to his Divine precepts, that men, while they see our good works, may know the Glory of the Lord. Let us so demean our- selves professionally and personally, that it may act on the hearts and consciences of those committed to our care, and Grace abound through the thanksgivings of Men— Looking now to the second principle which guided the practice of Christ, his concern for the souls of men, we should find that he aimed in all things to promote the best interests of mankind ; and what a transition it was that he should descend from the Throne of the Universe, to pour blessings of humanity— thus connecting " Glory to God in the highest with peace towards men." He was de- termined to save and to retrieve our souls— and came and stood between the living and the dead to communicate the tidings of Salvation, and to reveal himself as a pro- pitiation for Sin, while he proclaimed the tender Mercies of God. It was likewise a peculiarity of his Ministry, that notwithstanding the self- abasement to which he sub- jected himself, he never lost the dignity and sublimity of his original condition. Never was love so exalted, so majestic as his. He merely laid down the Godh. ad to make reparation for our sins, and he wished to excite a: l our sensibilities and sympathies, by appearing 111 our earthly form, and thus standing in the presence of God as our Advocate. His Ministry was therefore the most exalted in the heart of mortal to conceive, manifesting a visible representation of the Almighty's invisible perfec- tion. Other Ministries before the time of the Redeemer, liad partaken something of this character, but he alone was the High Priest capable of making a full atonement for man— of him only could God say " this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Such being the character of the Brand exemplar set up for us to imitate, it was to be observed that in practical appli- cation it was suitable to the successive ages of tbe uni- versal Church of Christ. The wisdom of ancient philo- sophy could, give hut a little moral and no spiritual instruc- tion, and the insufficiency of the Model soon became manifest. But here the perfection was insurpassable and everlasting, for nothing of its power and effect was lost by transmission through ages. Tbe Reverend Gent, con- cluded by addressing himself particularly to the Clergy- men present, and urging upon their attention the great truths of Christianity just adverted to. " The Gospel, said he, is still the Power and Wisdom of God, and let us, by following the example there set up before us, endeavour to shine in our several spheres us lights 111 the world, to exhibit in our lives and practice a faithful transcript of his will, and " by our preaching and doc- trine to set it forth and show it accordingly.'" At the conclusion of this able Discourse, the Halleluj ah Chorus, from lleethoven's Mount of Olives, was performed by the Organist and Choristers with equal credit to Mr. Greenwood, as that of Handel, at the entrance of the Archbishop. His Grace now retired for a few minutes into the Ves- try, while the Congregation assembled in the Choir round the space in front of the Altar, which was reserved for the Clergy. _ THE ARCHBISHOP'S COURT. His Grace having returned and taken his seat within the railing at the Communion table, the Sexton summoned " all and singular the persons who were ordered to attend that Court, to come forward and answer their names." The Clergy accordingly assembled in the area already men tioned, to the number we think of about tilty ; when their names, residences, and degrees ill the church were called over, and those who had sent in their letters of orders to shew their qualification as Clergymen, had the same returned to them by the proper officer. A good deal of time was thus occupied, at the conclusion of which the Sexton, as directed, ordered ( to use his own words) " the Church wardens to go to St. James's Chapel, to be sworn in and out of office immediately." THE CHARGE. His Grace then rose from his seat and delivered his Charge. It was the same which he delivered lately to the Clergy in Wakefield, and other places, and was at- tended to with great earnestness by those to whom it was addressed, and indeed by all present. " Oil the last occasion," said his Grace, •' of our meeting here, I particularly directed your attention to three objects. These were, first, to the Institution of National Schools; secondly, to the state of the funds called Queen Anne's Bounty i and lastly, to an Act of the Legislature whieh had recently passed. With respect to the Na< ioual Sehoels, I have nothing new at present to communicate to you, except that, by means of their establishment throughout the kingdom, much useful education mid reli- gious instruction has been bestowed upon numbers who were previously in a state of abject ignorance, and, 1 tear, equally unacquainted with the moral and divine truths of Scripture. In aid of the Fund called Queen Amies Bounty, Parliament has made no further grant, to enable the Governors to augment the revenues of poor livings. But notwithstanding, owing to theincreased amount ot tho capital, from an advance in the values of the securities wherein it is invested, theGoverirors have proceeded with their laudable objects, and have enlarged the incomes of se- veral Curates— thereby improving the general state ot the Church, and rescuing meritorious individuals from the obscure poverty to whieh they had been long consigned. But though these plans have been suspended— I say sus- pended, because I trust the assistance of the Legislature will be renewed hereafter— the bounty of Parliament has not been stopped, but has flowed liberally through ano- ther channel, and conferred lasting benefits on the com- munity. By the application of the million and a half lor the erection of Churches and Chapels, great masses of the people who before were denied the enjoyment of worshipping God according to the manner ot the Established Church, have for the most part been ena- bled to do so. This, in every point of view, civil as well as religious, Is of the greatest advantage— As far as my own experience extends, I can say in an eccle- siastical regard, that most important effects have been produced by the measure to which 1 refer. Upon this subject 1 have no further remarks to offer at present- As to other topics, in my primary visitation 1 enlarged upon them fully, and I have found the confidence which I then expressed relative to your Residence haB been realized so amply as to accomplish all the objects on which I calculated. Indeed it becomes me to express in this public maimer my approbation of the exemplary con- duct of the Clergy in all parts of this jurisdiction. IlavUig nothing further upon these matters to mention now. I avail myself of the present opportunity to state a few plain and simple religious principles, without whieh the rest were of comparative inefficacy. Upon these points 1 shall state my own conception of the truth, conceiving it one of those eases in which it is my strict and proper duty to lay before you my own opinions and my own judgment, and to exhort you to give them in practice a general and ready application. If what I shall submit to you. be given their full weight, there are no consequences which can be drawn from- them, that will not, on an impartial and earnest consideration, be found to be the basis of religious morals. The Scripture in every part throughout preserves a consistency. From this fact two propositions of the utmost importance, proceed as conse- quences. The first, that no two parts of Scripture can contradict each other, for be assured ill the Word of God no contradiction can exist. The second consequence is, that we never can hope to have a clear conception of the truth, a knowledge of God's Will, and of our own duty, unless the whole of the Scriptures be taken as our rule and guide. No just interpretation can be deduced from detached parts of them. That thereure some parts of the Scriptures seemingly opposed to cach other, no one ac- quainted with the Sacreu ' Writings, w ill attempt to deny. In the present nature and condition of things, no clear idea can be obtained of particular circumstances, but in every such case when tile agency of reason fails, man ought to feel assured of the reality of each of these truths, although of it he may not be capable of being convinced. So much above our comprehension may be many things which it is yet necessary for us to believe. We may know lor example, that two ideas co- exist but not how they co- exist, nor can any attempt of ours succeed in compre- hending the agency of God, which is expressed ill terms admitting of no limitation. With respect to foreknow- ledge, the very words of Christ are, " without me ye can do nothing," and in another place, the salvation of man is spoken ot as " afree gift of God;" while, on the other hand, we are directed to work out our own salva- tion— to endeavour to enter at the strait gate— and in- structed that God will reward every man according to his works. The purposes of Christ's coming, too, we are told, was to redeem all iniquity. Be assured, then, that the words of Scripture are true, although ye may not com- prehend them; and when two parts seem at variance with each other, if both be true, be satisfied that neither can be safely neglected. Each is true, and each, I say, ought to be asserted and maintained by a Minister of the Gospel to its full extent— and so shall be taught Gospel truth. Those who do not teach the whole, do not follow the only just and reasonable rule for understanding Scrip- tures—[ His Grace here dwelt upon the article of the Pro- testant faith, which refers to the doetine of Predes- tination. After stating that nothing showed more the sober wisdom of our Church, than the manner in whieh this question was there treated, which, while it asserted that God's foreknowledge was not to be disputed, yet declared that " God's promises, as set forth generally," were to be relied oil— he proceeded to inculcate the neces- sity of abiding by these principles.] " Better and wiser advice," he continued, " I cannot give, than is embodied in that article. It is too much for us to hope that every difficulty should be solved, before a foundation is laid for rational faith, and as X profess to adopt myself, from serious conviction, the doctrine 1 have now laid down, it is but natural that I should impressiton your minds with the same seriousness, and the same certainty of its efficacy. Consider, then, the Gospel as the covenant of grace, and the standard of good works. Whatever was the gift of God, something was left to ourselves. I have now stated to you, my Reverend Brethren," added his Grace, " what are the right principles and interpretation of the Scrip- tures, and in choosing this subject, I have only been influ- enced by an earnest desire that no room should be left to ourselves to introduce either a change of doctrine or of practice, nor have I done more than pointed out that ceurse of ministry which will be found most useful. I am aware that little blame m ty be imputable to those who depart from it in point of intention, but ill discretion they err more perhaps than they can estimate. The foregoing sentiments I have laid before you fairly, in a spirit of love and charity, and as such, 1 hope, you will receive them." The Archbishop shortly afterwards withdrew to the Vestry, where an elegant collation was prepared for him by the Churchwardens. His Grace, Wfio from the heat of the day and the exertion he had gone through for so many hours, appeared flushed and fatigued, at the conclu- sion of the charge, partook slightly of the refreshment pro- vided for him. In the mean time, such young persons as were not confirmed in the forenoon assembled round the Altar, and before the Archbishop departed he per- formed the rite for the benefit of 17 males and 79 females, making 1339 confirmations. His Grace was conducted to the door by the Churchwardens, Parish and Church Officers, in the same manner as on his entrance in the morning, and uas conveyed in his carriage to the Hotel, Briggate, where he dined with his Clergy at four o'clock. The Churchwardens and Parish Officers dined together at six o'clock, at Turnbull's Hotel. Upon the whole, the solemnities of the day were con- ducted with perfect propriety, and redounded much to the credit ofthe Churchwardens, who both by their indi- vidual exertions, and the attentions of the persons they employed, preserved appropriate decorum throughout the proceedings— The Organ has been repaired and is now in excellent order. PRESENT TO MR. HUME. LEEDS AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY. At ten o'clock yesterday morning, the Subscribers of the Leeds Auxiliary Bible Society, held a general meeting at the Music- Hall, to consider the propriety of establish- ing Ladies' Bible Associations in several divisions of the town. T. S. B. Reade, Esq. in the Chair. The meeting, composed, with very few exceptions, entirely of Ladies, was numerous and highly respectable. The Chairman opened the business in a neat speech, in which he reviewed the proceedings of the Society under its present regulations, and pointed out its inadequate- ness to meet the moral wants of the town, inasmuch as a great portion of the inhabitants are left totally un- supplied with the Sacred Scriptures; and, while the town is extending in magnitude and importance, it is impossible the whole of its inhabitants can be supplied without great exertions in all classes, which showed the neces- sity- of adopting such expedients as, those they were about to consider. MR. DUDLEY of the Parent Society, prefaced some very able remarks by expressing the gratitude of the Parent Society for the assistance which had already been afforded by the Leeds Auxiliary. In 1809, the fifth Auxiliary Soci- ety, in connexion with the Parent Society, was established in Leeds. At that time the total amount paid into the funds of the latter, was something short of £ 60,000. and the number of Bibles issued was 222,888, in not more than twelve languages. The total number of copies now issued exceed 7,684,334, distributed in all parts of the ha- bitable globe, the Scriptures had been translated into one hundred and forty- three languages, and there had been pla- ced at the disposal of the Society, a million and a quarter of pounds; thus increasing its claims oiie hundredfold. Taking the calculations of Dr. Gregory and others, the earth contained 1000 millions of souls, 174 millions of these bore the name of Christians; 11 or 12 millions were Jews; 180 millions, Mahometans; and 620 millions were heathens. By the same authorities the total number of Bibles, or portions thereof, in circulation, was 35 mil- lions ;— supposing every copy was still in existence, which was not the case, there would still be 140 millions of Chris- tians without the Bible, besides Jews, Mahometans, & c. To shew the number of applications at their last Commit- tee Meeting, he read a list of 29 places in all quarters of the globe, from whence applications of the most pressing kind, were sent. The accounts from Paris were encou- raging. The Ladies' Society there continued in efficient operation ; and had 140 collectors, of whom 48 were titled individuals, and one of them a Duchess. The Due D'Angou- leme had applied to the Society for 200 Testaments for the supply of his household. Mr. Thompson, on a journey through Chili, Peru, and Colombia, had sold 1682 copies of portions of the Scriptures to Catholics, at naif- price— A Society had been formed in the capital of Colombia.— In 1804, many children were offered upon the altar to the idols of Otaheite; but there was not now an altar remaining, and all their idols were sent over to this country, inclosed in a case the shape of a coffin, with this impressive inscription, '' Dead Gods from Otaheita." There are now many christian churches erected, and as a further proof of the civilizing and moralizing effects of the gospel, he said it was enacted by the govern- ment, that the roads should be kept in repair by pri- soners, but they were obliged to make other provi- sions there not being a single prisoner in custody— At Constantinople, 5221 copies had been sold. At Jeru- salem, a Depository is established, and in eight months had sold 752 copies. At Botany Bay, a Society with seven associations were in operation, and 32,000 copies had been circulated among the English convicts and their children. To shew that Leeds was behind hand with many other large towns, he gave a comparative statement of the number of free subscribers in proportion to the number of inhabi- tants. The Society at Manchester had one subscriber in 30 inhabitants; Liverpool, one in 18: Nottingham, one in 17; Plymouth, one in 16; and Leeds, one in 300. He proceeded to detail the defects of the present system, and dwelt upon the propriety of ladies engaging in the work. At that moment, 32,000 ladies were employed in upwards of 700 associations, 366 of whom were titled personages; one a Countess of 68, and two daughters of a Duke. He spoke on the propriety of calling on servants, only with the consent of their employers. The Rev. R. B. HOLMES moved the first resolution, which proposed that twelve ( or fewer, if thought advisa- ble) associations should be formed with the following designations:- South, South- West, Central, West, North West, North, Sheepscar, North East, St. Peter's Square, East, Ca'l- Lane, and Vicar- Lane The rules were then read. The resolution was seconded by Mr. T. SCALES. Mr. DUDLF. Y made a few observations on the laws which had just beed read, by way of illustration. He also gave a comparative statement of crime in the following places, to show the necessity for exertion in this part of the coun- try. In Middlesex, criminals were in the proportion of one to 426; Yorkshire, one to 1568; Durham, one to 2387 5 Westmoreland, one to 3669. WILLIAM 1- 1 BY, Esq. moved a resolution that a Branch Society should be formed to connect the Associations with the Auxiliary Society, to be called " The Ladies' Branch of the Leeds Auxiliary Society." Mr. DUDLEY seconded the motion. He observed that this Branch Society and the rules connected with it, were on the same principle as those established in Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Hull, Newcastle, Bristol, Coven- try, Nottingham, & c. The REV. GEORGE WALKER moved that the Ladies present meet again on Monday next, ( sec advt) to put into effect the resolutions of the Meeting. The Rev. Gentleman in an excellent speech, gave his hearty concurrence to the reso- lutions which had passed, as he considered the present system insufficient for the moral wants of the people. The doubts which had been entertained of its practicabi- lity, he considered abstract and hypothetical, and ear- nestly requested that they should not be allowed to ope- rate in the least degree, as he had no doubt they would vanish at the touch of experience. In addressing the Ladies particularly, he adverted, as an example for their imitation, to the" holy women of old, who accompanied Christ wherever he went, who stood near him in his dy- ing moments, and were first at the sepulchre in the morn- ing of his resurrection. He urged them, notwithstand- ing the modesty and diffidence which was so creditable to the females of this country, and the objections they might feel to undertake the management of public affairs, to be nobly public and honourably decisive when the cause of God, and the good of souls were Concerned. MR. ROBERT JOWITT seconded the resolution. Mr. JOHN CLAPHAM moved the thanks of the meeting to the Chairman, which was seconded by Mr. DUD LIS v. Mr. IlEADe returned thanks, and the meeting separated about half- past one o'clock. Mr. DUDLEY illustrated his line of argument by many interesting facts, demonstrative of the beneficial effects of these excellent institutions, but our limits preclude their insertion. A letter purporting to reply, to our observations last week on this absurd project, has since appeared in two contemporaries on the same day; but upon whom, the affair ought to be affiliated we cannot imagine, for in one case it is ascribed to " The Mechanics and Artizans of Leeds," and in the other to " The Originators!" The exact correspondence however of the letter, in both publications, induces us to believe the former signature an impudent forgery on the part of the paper that used it, in order to avoid the blunder implied in the latter.— The inte ligent writers of the epistle, after asserting that we " calumniated" Mr. Hume and his friends, politely add that our statement of the " Artizans and Mechanics of Leeds having been advised or recommended to show a token," & c. to the Member for Montrose is " a falsehood," as " they were neither advised nor recommended, but influenced entirely by a spontaneous feeling of gratitude to adopt the measure alluded to." Now we certainly should not only have told a falsehood, but been guilty of a gross Bull if we had said that " the Originators of the scheme, who- ever they may be, acted on advice or recommendation. Such a thing was impossible, for it would be a contradiction in terms to assert that with those who first thought of the measure it was not the result of their " spontaneous feel- ing." In the remarks which we submitted, a manifest distinction was therefore kept up between " the Origina- tors" of the token for Mr. Hume and the " Mechanics and Artizans of Leeds;" the former being = those whom we aimed at as having " advised and recommended" the latter to make fools of themselves, and against adopting whose counsel we remonstrated. We had just grounds too, we think, to assume that the public advertisement of the project was attributable to the machinations of others than the " Mechanics and Artizans of Leeds." That announcement was not the first broaching of the idea, but, on the contrary, the very day week - previous to its appearance, the paper which is now the organ of the " Operatives" here— we mean the Leeds Patriot— solemnly and seriously " advised and recommended" the working classes of this town to present a token to the Lord Rector. To that advice and recommendation we alluded, and if doing so be a " falsehood," the writers of the letter under immediate observation are, no doubt, as wise as they are civil. Having thus disposed of thq Reply to our article— which, by the way, does not even attempt to impugn any of the facts we enumerated respecting Mr. Hume's conduct— ano- ther pcirt of the subject demands attention— we mean the application to the Mayor for the Court House, to hold there " a meeting of the mechanics and artizans of Leeds and its vicinity" for the purpose of getting up thp present. This is plunging in the mire with a vengeance ; nor do we know which part of the proceeding is the most ridiculous. The application is made, in the lirst instance, by whom ?— we beg our readers not to laugh— risum teneatis amici—" by three artizans on behalf of themselves and others of their body,"— and the purpose, " that the Mayor should call a meeting of the inhabitants, in the Court House, to vote Mr. Hume a piece of Plate !" What modest and rational personages ihese " three artizans" must be! The Mayor, of course, refused to comply, and, as he well might, remarked that the object seemed to be rather of a private than a public nature. Piqued that he acted thus properly, the '' three artizans" would seem to have cast about for co- operation, to concert a device by which his Worship might be urged to appear " ungracious in the Mechanics' eyes," and accordingly 39 " operatives," calling themselves, ( and some of them being, perhaps), " inha- bitant householders," served him with a notice, stating, that they required " a Meeting of the' Mechanics and Arti- zans of Leeds and its vicinity, and such other persons as might think proper to attend," and demanding the use of the Court- House for that object. The Aggregate Meetings of the Catholics of Ireland, where " the six millions" are stuffed into a Dublin Chapel, are the only things we ever heard of, like this miraculous project of cramming all the working people of Leeds " and its vici- nity, and such other persons as might choose," into a petty Court- House! Forty or fifty thousand persons contained in a nut shell! Why the full grown Conjuror, who advertized to leap into a pint bottle, attempted a less palpable hoax than this. When the Bradford Combers assemble, it is on Fairweather- Green— it is in an arena capable of holding them— in the fresh air, and under the wide canopy of heaven— not in the hole and corner of a notation Office. But perchance the " three Artizans," alias " the 39 Inhabitant Householders," alias " the Origi- nators," foresaw, that notwithstanding the pompous an- nouncement of their scheme, as that of the vast working population of this district, a very contracted space indeed would contain all those who felt the money burning their pockets till it escaped in the form of a piece of plate for Mr. Hume. We rather suspect such was the case— we rather imagine the experiment to have failed, and, that after the exposure which we made of the Lord Rector's real conduct relative to the Combination Laws, the " Origina- tors" found the number of Mechanics and Artizans willing to be duped into the absurdity exceedingly small. Let us hope then that there is an end to the thing altogether. It was a vile pi& ce of trickstry to set on foot, and has been supported by vile means— by barefaced falsehoods and exaggerations. No later than last week, two state- ments were put forth to prop the falling project, both directly opposed to truth. The one that the Mayor, although he refused the Court- House, " entertained no hostility to the measure"— which was meant to be taken, as that he favoured the scheme; and the second, that " through Mr. Hume's exertions, continued through the last Session of Parliament, the Combination Laws were prevented from being re- enacted." The author of this latter assertion would stick at nothing. We positively affirm, that during the last Session of Parliament, the re- enactment of those Laws was never mentioned excep t to disclaim any such idea on the part of Ministers. We challenge the most audacious Radical Scribe to contradict this fact if he dare. Since the above was put in type, a placard has been issued stating, that " a Meeting," but we know not of whom, will be held on Monday evening next, at the Coloured Cloth Hall, to take this monstrous job into con- sideration. The placard has 40 names on it, we presume of " operatives." We should like to know whether some needy Silversmith is not at the bottom of the threatened " Piece of Plate." After some further discussion it was agreed to continue the respite till next sessions, to give time for a proper yaluation. Mr. Brown enquired of the Court, whether in valuing the basins he should take into the account the expenses which had been incurred in erection' He was informed they were only liable as land.

Whiteley, Nicholson, and Castle pleauedguilty; Taylor and Bramley were tried. Taylor was defended by Mr. Waiies. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor left the premises safe about seven o'clock in the evening of the 26th of April, and was informed about twelve o'clock that a robbery had been committed, when he found that six ends of cloth were missing,— three of them were of fine blue, two of fine black, and one of coarse blue cloth; some wrappers, half a quire of paper, a jacket, knife, and some returned Bills, were also taken away. The premises had been secured by hang locks, which, with the desks, had been forced by two small chisels and an iron crow, whieh were found upon the premise- s. Wit- nesses were called to show that Taylor was drinking in company with Whiteley, Nicholson, and Castle the day previous to the robuery, and that he and they walked ^ ast the premises, and looked in. The goods were found, iiiid Whiteley and Castle were apprehended, at Taylor's house, next morning. Nothing material was proved against Bramley ; he was inconsequence acquitted.

The following important communication we received last night, from our Correspondent in that town. Bradford, Aug. 3, 1825. The dull uniformity in my reports of the hitherto un- yielding obstinacy of both masters and workmen, will be broken in a trifling degree, by what I have to relate of this - week's occurrences. The masters had a meeting at the Sun Inn, on Monday, when it seems some misunderstanding took place among them, and, according. to the current re- port, the ground of it, was the discovery of unfair practices by some of the masters, inconsistent with the resolutions passed by them at their previous meetings. The conse- quence of it has been, that Mr. Garuett has agreed to give his woolcombers the prices required, and they have accordingly returned to their work. It is said that several other masters have seceded from the masters' union, and of course it is expected here, that these will also give the advance demanded. With the single exception of Mr. Garnett, however, 1 cannot learn that any ot the masters have made offers to the men. The inhabitants of the town, not concerned directly in the trade, are generally elated with the promising aspect of affairs, and will be glad of any event that will put an end to the present unnatural state of things. Workmen and children con- tinue to leave Bradford for other places. FASHIONS FOR AUGUST. CARRIAGE DRESS.— A three- quarters pelisse- robe and pet- ticoat of gros de Naples ; colour terre d'Egypte. Tnis elegant dress, which is well adapted to the open carriage, either the curricle or barouchette, is trimmed down the sides, and round the border, and round the border of the petti- coat, with oblong puffs; each divided by two lotos leaves of satin. The body is made partially low, and the front of the waist en gerbe, but formed into a stomacher by a row of the came ornaments as those on the border, on each side of the bust. Tne sleeves fit almost close to the arm, and are confined at the wrists with four bands ofthe same material as the pelisse. A pele rine- fichu- scari is thrown over the shoulders; the scarf of Urling's lace, trimmed round with a full quilling of thread tulle, from the same manufacture, and terminating at the ends with a bow of white satin ribbon in three loops. A Jichu of g; ossamer net fs worn under the robe, surmounted by a Spanish high collar of lace, pointed, and the points turn- ing down; the Jichu fastened with a cameo, or mosaic medallion brooch. Transparent hat of white crape, with ornaments of gauze edged with blond; among whieh are interspersed nasturtium- blossoms, and foliage of various shades. From a braid of hair, surrounding the neck, depends a large convent cross of gold. Slippers of black satin, aud Limerick gloves, complete the dress. EVENING COSTUME.— Dress of blue crtipe- lisse over a satin slip of the same colour: balloon puffings surround the border, and are carried up gracefully, in bias, across the skirt, but not quite so high as the Waist. A bouquet of primroses is placed in front, in the centre of the trim- ming round the border, and another finishes the ornament that is carried across more than half- way up the skirt: each puff is confined by fluted rings of blue satin. The corsage is of blue satin, made plain, except having a crepe- lisse boup'ont drapery across the bust, which is fastened in the middle with a fluted ring of satin. The sleeves are short, and are formed of gauze, beautifully entwined, representing treiUage- work. A narrow tucker of Vandyke blond is adopted with this dress. The hair elegantly arranged in curls and bows, among which are jftc/ m- points of blue gauze interspersed ; two points depend, with pearl tassels, over the right side, and a very small esprit feather is placed at the back of the summit of the head. The necklace and ear- rings are of large pearls; the brace- lets of broad chased gold, fastened with sapphires. MONTHLY JIEFORT OF THE LEEDS PUBLIC DIS- PENSARY FOR JULY. Patients admitted • • • • • 255 Discharged cured 180 Relieved 16* Visited at their own houses 6" 1 MERCURIAL AFFAIR The subjoined para- graph refers to a piece of Editorial invention, which appeared in a contemptible Whig Oracle of this town, the week after the recent melancholy suicide, at the Hotel, Briggate. It is a notable illustration of the talent and veracity with which the readers of that Jour- nal are habitually amused or enlightened, and of which we this day give several other proofs.—" We have seen," says the Tyne Mercury, " in several papers, a fine ro- mantic paragraph, relative to the poor unfortunate Italian gentleman, who killed himself at Leeds the week before last. There is no truth, we have every reason to believe, in the love part of the story ; and so far from his journies to Edinburgh and Leeds being occasioned by a falling off in his pupils, they were un- dertaken through the advice of his physician. His pupils were numerous, as he was greatly esteemed by all the respectable families in this neighbourhood. The melancholy termination of his life has caused the great- est regret in this town." The Proclamation against Vice and Immorality being read, Mr. HARDY, the Recorder, after a few of the usual observations to the Grand Jury, particularly requested that, if the prosecutors, or their witnesses, were not in attendance in time to enable them to expedite their busi- ness, ( which he must say was heavy), they would men- tion it to the Court, and such prosecutors, or witnesses, should not have their expenses allowed. DANIEL GRAY, against whom a true bill was found for a misdemeanour in January last, was cnarged with obtainining goods under false pretenses, from Mrs. Bin- ning Urquhart, haberdasher, in Briggate, in this town. Mary Cass, examined by Mr. STOCKDALE.— Witness lives with, Mrs. Urquhart, and recollects the defendant coming to the shop on the 9th November last, when he purchased two silk handkerchiefs, two cotton- ones, and a yard of ribbon, amounting to £ l. Is. 2d in payment of which he tendered a five guinea riote of the Pontefract bank, dated 1809. Cross- examined by Mr. MAUDE.— Can't swear to the note. Never saw him before, but is sure he is the man. Mrs. Urquhart gave him the change. Mrs. Urquhart, by Mr. STOCKDALE.— Remembers, in No- vember last, receiving a five guinea note of the defendant. Without looking at the signature she gave him the change. By Mr. MAUDE.— Had r. o conversation with the defend- ant. He did not say it was a good one- Mr. MAUDE submitted to the Court that there was an allegation against the defendant in the indictment, which had not been sustained by the evidence; and he was pro- ceeding to state the nature of that allegation, and the points wherein the evidence was defective; when Mr. STOCKDALE said be had more evidence to produce on the subject, and the examination proceeded. Sarah Johnson, a young lady in the service of Mr. Tidmas, haberdasher, in this town, said that the defendant purchased some stockings at her master's shop, on the 9th November last, which amounted to 8s. 6d. and for which he offered a guinea note of Seaton's Pontefract bank. Witness suspecting all was not right, took the note into the room to Mr. Tidmas, who immediately fetched Mr. Read, and the man was apprehended. On the prisoner being removed, a roll of notes was found upon the spot where he stood, containing seven one guinea notes, and one five guinea note. Mr. Tidmas corroborated last witness so far as he was concerned. Mr. Read apprehended the prisoner on the evening of the 9th November, and found upon him five five guinea notes, and two of one guinea. He denied having any knowledge of those found in Mr. Tidmas's shop. He sa* d he had taken what was found upon him in the fair, for some horses which he had sold. Mr. Christopher Heaps was called, to prove that the bank from which the notes purported to be issued, was not in existence at the time the payment was made. Mr. MAUDE addressed the jury for the defendant. He contended that his Learned Friend had not yet made out his case. Tne question for the jury to decide, was not, he apprehended, whether the notes were good or bad, but whether the goods were obtained under false pretences. His Learned Friend had undertaken toprove, according to the indictment, that the defendant had offered a " good and negociable promissory note and security for the pay- ment of one pound," under pretence that it was a, good one, but not one of his witnesses had gone far enough to ' prove the fact. The question was never asked " of the defendant whether it was a good one, nor did he ever say anything on the subject. He contended that to pay the note was not enough, but in order to sustain the indict- ment as it was framed, g. pretence on the part of the dslen- dant, must certainly exist, which was not the case. Mr. HARDY, in summing up, observed that the principal question vras whether he had obtained the goods under false pretences. He said, t hat in order for a man to accom- plish such a purpose, it was not necessary for the pre- tence to be made by words. If he offers it as a good note, knowing it not to be so, that very act was asufficient false pretence to come within the indictment; a man may make a false pretence though he might not utter a . syllable. A similar case was tried in this Riding sometime ago, and was afterwards brought before Mr. Justice Bayley, in which a man, under pretence of being the constable of Horbury, presented an order to the Treasurer of the West- Riding for payment. The prisoner was known not to be a constable, nor did he make any statement to that effect, but he presented the order as such. The treasurer took the order to be a genuine one, from the general con- duct of the man, and the indictment charging him with obtaining it under false pretenses, was held to be correct. The defendant in this case certainly meant Mrs. Urquhart to take the note asagood one, or he would never have offered it. The only next question was whether the defendant knew it was a spurious note at the time it was offered. Of this there eould be but little doubt from the number he had upon him, and the suspicious circumstance of the roll being dropt on the shop floor of Mr. Tidmas. GUILTY. — To be imprisoned six months. AN APPEAL AGAINST THE WATCH RATE. In this appeal, which was respited from last Sessions, the Aire and Calder Company were appellants, and the Assessors of the Watch Rate, respondents. Mr. MAUDE .- aid, there was some difference between the mode of rating the Poor Assessment and that of the Watch Rate. In the latter, the profit arising from tolls ' and locks, ought not to be included; whereas the amount of the 1 ist assessment contained that item, being £ 20, at 6d. in the pound upon £ 800. This the proprietors objected to pay on the ground that that rate applied only to build- ings, lands, and hereditaments. Mr. Nicholas Brown, of Wakefield, had been appointed to make a valuation of the premises, and the motion he had to make was that his valuation should be entered as the amount of rate to be paid for the same premises in future. Mr. Brown was called, who said that he had inspected, for the purpose of valuing, the premises belonging to the Aire and Calder Company, in the Mill- hill division, and found that the building upon which the rate was levied was pulling down, and therefore he had not made any valuation. Mr. WAILES for the respondents, observed that the valuation was intended to extend to the whole of their property within the borough of Leeds. Mr. MAUDE said that the premises in question were actually being pulled dovvn at the time the assessment was laid, and consequently were not chargeable. TUESDAY, August 2. The Court this morning consented to respite an indict- ment against the inhabitants of Leeds, for not repairing a foot- way, at Sheepscar, tfn the ground that a contem- plated alteration in the road could not be made till after the ensuing winter, and that it was not expedient to repair the said footpath in the mean time. MARY HOPWOOD was acquitted on a charge of steal- ing two £ l notes from Josepn Nichols, of Hudderslield, cloth- dresser, on the 10th March last. MARY GRAYSON was charged with stealing £ 3.15s. from George Smith, at the Wellington Inn, in this town, on the 7 th June.— C UILTY. Imprisoned six months. JOSEPH HOVVCROFT submitted to an indictment, charging him with a misdemeanour, in obtaining a quan- tity of cloth in the name of his father, from Edwin Hey- cock, Henry Hirst, and William Heyeock. The prisoner was tried at York in 1819, and imprisoned two years.— GUILTY. Imprisoned twelve months. FRANCES LILEY was charged with receiving stolen goods, knowing the same to be stolen. The thief, it appeared, had, after having committed the felony, taken the property back to his master, who then seut it to Mrs. Liley, and she purchased it; but this not then being the subject of a felony, she was Acquitted. THOMAS KAtSTRlCK, ana NOAH LAYCOCK ( 31), were charged with stealing two barrels of beer from a cow- house belonging to Richard Hemsley, of the Black Bank, on the 25th June— GUILTY. Imprisoned 3 months. JOHN MURRAY ( 18), was charged with stealing ten yards of rope and a pack sheet from John Smitn, of T. iwaite Gate, on the 21st of June lasc— NOT GUILTY. ROBERT IIOLDGATE ( 21), and CHRISTOPHER PAT- TINSON ( 23), were charged with stealing a silk hand- kerchief and a hat from John Dennel, a cloth- dresser, of Woodhouse.— The prosecutor had been at Leeds Races, and was returning on the night of 10th June, in such a state of intoxication that he did not know what he was doing, nor could he recollect being in Briggate. A person passing, saw the two prisoners near him, - when he was sat upon the ground, near the OJ, d Bank, and the property was found in a hay loft where they had slept; but the prosecutor refused to swear to both the hat and the hand- kerchief, although he had sworn to them before the magistrates. It turned out, ultimately, that the prose- cutor had been conversing with the prisoner Pattinson's brother, who had given him a pound note for the hat. The RECORDER gave the prosecutor a severe reprimand, and said he had committed at serious offence, inasmuch as he had compounded a felony, and he should hear of it next Sessions— Acquitted. MARY BECKWITH, servant with Mr. Edward Atkinson, hatter and perfumer, in Commercial- street, was charged with stealing a hat from her master, under the folio wing circumstances:— Mr. Atkinson left the house on Monday night last, in possession of the prisoner and a little girl. Prisoner then took a hat out of the shop, and earried it to Mr. Harral, broker, in Kirkgate, where she offered it for sale, stating that she was servant with Mr. Wilks, of the Eagle and Child, and that she found the hat in Briggate,, some time ago. Mr. Harral refused to purcha. e it, on which she withdrew. He then followed her to a yard in Briggate, where she dropped the hat and went away. He secured it, and took her into custody, near Trinity Church. She gave in her name, at the watch- house, as Ann Jones, but a letter found upon her gave a contrary testimony. The hat was identified as the property of the prosecutor. The prisoner said in her defence that she . had been very uneasy about her father ; and that on going to see a friend, she took a glass of brandy and water, Which so much disordered her that she was not aware of what she was doing. The Jury found her GUILTY, but recommended her to mercy. The prosecutor gave the prisoner a very good character, and the Recorder, after a very suitable and feeling address, sentenced her to be imprisoned seven days in the gaol of this court, and to be kept separate from all the other prisoners. JOHN WARD, better known as Drummer Jack, was charged with obtaining an iron range from the agent of the Low Moor Iron Works, in this town, under pretence that it had been ordered by, and was intended for, Mr. Frederick Rinder, oil the 21st of April last— GUILTY. Imprisoned three months. WILLIAM GOODMAN ( 22), was charged with stealing two pounds weight of cheese from William Clapham— GUILTY— Imprisoned fourteen days. JOHN DILLON ( 24), charged with commtting an un- natural crime, in a yard in Kirkgate, near the White Cloth Hall, on the 14th of July. GUILTY— Imprisoned three years. Wivi. MALEY was charged with an assault upon John Colloghan, both of them Irishmen. / On the prosecutor's entering the witness- box, the following conversation passed. Mr. RECORDER— What is your'name ? John Cooligun. How do you spell it ? I don't know, plase your worship, I'm no scholar— I never spelt it in my life. How do you pronounce it ?— Indeed, your worship, I don't know, I never had any scholarship. What do they call you ? John Colloghan. If he for- gets and forgives, I don't want to hurt him, 1 will for- give him. . Is he a countryman of yours ? Yes, he is, plase your worship, and 1 don't want to hurt him. Well, what did he do at you? Well, he only just struck me. When was it? It was on a Sunday— I can't tell what Sunday, I think the 10th of July; we had a little variance. What was the variance about? It began between the women ; there was something between the women, and he only just came to me, and he only gave me a couple of clips on the side of the head. Did he hurt you ? Plase your worship I was not great- ly hurt, indeed Sir. Was he sober? He had only just got a little drop, plase your worship, and he only just gave lhe a couple of clips. What provocation did you give him ? I only told him to go into the house, says I, and let the women do what they like with one another; and he only just struck me, but did not hurt me. Then you have nothing against him ? No, your wor- ship, I do not wish to live at variance with any body. He and I are neighbours, and if it were not for the women, we should live together as peaceably as any men in the world. Maley made as good- natured a defence as the charge he had to answer; and they parted good friends. Cornelius Hird ( 25), James Cowan ( 19), Thomas Axford ( 44), and James- Jones ( 18), for felonies, were severally The Leeds Bazaar now makes a very conspicuous appearance: the front towards Briggate, we observe, has been ornamented by a Lion ( couchedmodelled on the spot by our ingenious native artist, RHODES, in a manner, which, we think, does him infinite credit. COURT HOUSE.— On Friday was committed to Wakefield House of Correction, for one month, David Holdsworth, wool- comber, for neglecting his work belonging to Messrs. Hinds and Patchett, of this town. — On Tuesday, William Tuiner and Jonas Newsome were committed to the same place for three months, as reputed thieves and vagabonds.— Joseph Wood, shoemaker, of Chapel Allerton, was brought before the Mayor on the same day, and bound to keep the peace fqr six months, for assaulting Thomas Marshall, a Constable, in the due execution of his office. ACCIDENTS.— On Friday morning, two children, named Maria Cowcroft and Sarah Wilson, of the ages of seven and eleven, while playing on the banks of Mr. Jonathan Lupton's mill pond, at Sheepscar, near this place, fell in, and were unfortunately drowned.— It is a crying nuisance that this pond is not properly fenced in. A poor man was drowned there lastChristmas On Thursday last, William Dennison, a boy about eleven years of age, in the service of John Upton, Esq. of Weetwood- Hall, fell from a pony on which he was mounting, and his foot getting entangled in the stirrup, he was dragged to a considerable distance, and kiilecl before he could be extricated— On Friday week, the driver of a loaded cart, about two miles from Barns- ley, on the Wakefield road, having whipped his horses rather sharply, they suddenly started at a quick pace, when the man in following them unfortunately felfc, and was killed upon the spot by the wheel going over his head.— On Friday last, Wrilliam Cooper, a fine youth, four years old, whose parents reside at Baildon Moor Side, climbed over a wall, near the house, and on reaching the other side, a large stone fell off the wall, and alighted on the little boy's head, and crushed his skull. He died almost immediately. Verdict— Accidental Death— On Saturday last, John Higgins and a com- panion of his had some words at the Crown Inn, in Call- Lane, in this town, when he was struck on the head with a tankard, and had his skull severely fractured. He was taken to the Infirmary, and is doing as well as can be expected.— Henry Wilson, a boy of 11 years of age, was playing in a mill at Hunslet, on Saturday last, when he got entangled with the machinery, and was so severely injured as to cause his < leath in a few hours.— On Tuesday afternoon, a boy in the employ of Mr. Samuel Hirst, New Road- End, where he had been only a short time, had his arm so dreadfully lacerated, that amputation was necessary. He was taken to the Infirmary, and is doing well. Grouse are more numerous this year upon the York- shire and Westmoreland Moors, than the oldest people remember. The birds are also very forward and strong. CRICKET.— On Friday last, the gentlemen compos- ing the Parlington and Harewood Clubs met upon the Parlington ground to play a match, which after a well- contested game, was won by the Parlington gentlemen.

It is now on Sale at Marsh's London Fashionable Hat Warehouse, No. Upperhead- Row, Leeds. Mr. Secretary Canning, previously to his return to London, intends to pay a visit to his friend, Colonel Bolton, of Liverpool, at his beautiful villa of Storrs, in Westmoreland, on the borders of Windermere Lake. On Thursday, 58 shopkeepers were convicted at Brad- ford, in mitigated penalties and costs, by the Rev. L. Hird, and J. P. Tempest, Esq. for having in their pos- wsession short weights.— A. t the same time was com- mitted to the House of Correction, at Wakefield, for one month, to hard labour, John Crosland, the servant of Mr. John Dixon, of Morley, farmer, for absenting himself from his master's service— And on Monday, were also committed, by E. C. Lister, Esq. John Mor ris, for vagrancy, and George Laycock and Luke Waring, for trespassing in an orchard, at Bradford, on Sunday morning last, and refusing to make compen- sation to the owner for the damage done. ADVANCE IN WRITING PAPER— A meeting of the Kentish paper manufacturers was held a few days since at Maidstone, at which it was resolved, in con- sequence of the present inadequate prices, that a fur- ther advance of per cent., should commence on the 1st instant. The raw materials have long being getting up and the journeymen have lately turned out for an advance of wages, to which the masters were obliged to accede.— The present measure makes the advance on paper nearly 20 per cent, within the last four months. ADULTERATED FLOUR— The London papers state that in a charge for selling adulterated flour, before the Lord Mayor of that city, Mr. Clarke, an operator, at Apothecaries' Hall, stated that he had been engaged incessantly from the 4th Sept. till the 28th of February last, in analyzing 1,467 sacks of flour, lying in warehouses at Hull. Mr. Clarke stated thatu The flour- factor whose adulterated article was seized at Hull, had previously a quantity of wheat in bond, and was permitted, as is the custom, by the Commissioners, to take it out, and grind it, on condi- tion of returning 1961bs. of genuine wheaten flour for every five bushels of corn. Instead of substituting the pure article, however, he sent in a most abominable adulteration of beans, buck wheat, and flour of the ve? y coarsest description. This compound was not under the King's locks two days when it was suspected to be bad, and no time was lost in sending samples to the Commissioners of Customs of the port of London. Mr. Clarke was then sent by the Lords of the Treasury to Hull to analyse the compound, and he- found it to be made of the above- mentioned ingredients. He had upon several former occasions found in bakers' flour an immense quantity of Plaster of Paris, burnt bones, an earthy substance, technically called Derbyshire white, of the most destructive nature, but prepared for the sole use of bakers, confectioners, and pastry- cooks. The colour of all those dreadful ingredients is beauti- ful. It resembles that of the very finest flour; and the article is impossible to be detected in its unmade- upstate without a chemical process But the com- pound he had examined at Hull, it was erroneous to say contained plaster of Paris or bones. The stuff was condemned, and the penalty of £ 10,000 affixed ; so that the loss sustained by the owner must, have been from £ 13,000 to £ 14,000."— Mr. Clarke also said that he was at present engaged by order of Government in analyzing several chests of Caper Souchong Tea, and although he had only examined a few of them, yet he found that one- fourth of their contents was lead ore, or poison of the rankest description, and he knew from experience that a great quantity of tea was adulterated in a similar manner.

The following dedicatory lines, prefixed to Mr. Southey's unpublished poem, " A Tale of Paraquay," are addressed by the poet to his daughter. TO EDITH MAY SOUTHEY. BY RORERT SOUTHEY, ESQ. Edith ! ten years are numbered since the day, Which ushers in the cheerful month of May, To us, by thy dear birth, my daughter dear, Was blest. Thou therefore didst the name partake Of that sweet month, the sweetest of the year; But fitlier was it given thee for the sake Of a good man, thy father's friend sincere, Who at the font made answer in thy name. Thy love and reverence rightly may he claim, For closely hath he been with me allied In Friendship's holy bonds, from that first hour When in our youth we met on Tejo's side; Bonds, which defying now: all Fortune's power, Time hath not loosened, nor will death divide. A child more welcome, by indulgent heaven, Never to parents' tears aud prayers was given ! For Scarcely eight months at thy happy birth Had passed since of thy sister we were left— Our first- born and our only babe— bereft. Too fair a flower was she for this rude earth! The features of her beauteous infancy Have faded from me like a passing cloud, Or like the glories of an evening sky; And seldom hath my tongue pronounced her name Since she was summoned to a happier spliere. But that dear love, so deeply wounded then, I in my soul, with silent faith sincere, Devoutly cherish till we meet again! I saw thee first with trembling thankfulness ; 0 daughter of my hopes and of my fears ! Pressed on thy senseless cheek a troubled kiss, And breathed my blessing over thee with tears. But memory did not long our bliss alloy; For gentle nature who had given relief, Weaned with new love the chastened heart from grief; And the sweet season ministered to joy. It was a season when their leuves and flowers The trees as to an Arctic summer spread: When chilling wintry winds and snowy showers, Which had too long usurped the vernal hours, Like spectres from the sight of morning, fled Before the presence of that joyous May; And groves and gardens all the live- long day Rung with the birds' loud love- songs. Over all One thrush was heard from morn till even- fall: Thy mother well remembers when she lay The happy prisoner of the genial bed How from yon lofty poplar's topmast spray At earliest dawn his thrilling pipe was heard ; And when the light of evening died away, • That blithe and indefatigable bird Still his redundant song of joy and love preferred. fapw have I dol ed on thine infant smiles At morning, when thine eyes unclosed on mine; IIow, as the months in swift succession rolled, 1 marked thy human faculties unfold, And watched the dawning of the light divide; And with what artifice of playful guiles Won from thy lips with still repeated wiles Kiss after kiss, a reckoning often told,— Something I ween thou know'st; for thou hast seen Thy sisters in their turn such fondness prove, And ffelt how childhood in its winning years The attempered soul to tenderness can move. This thou can'st tell; but not the hopes and fears With which a parent's heart doth overflow The thoughts and cares inwoven with that love- Its nature and its depth thou dost not, can'st not know. The years which since thy birth have passed away May well to thy young retrospect appear A measureless extent;— like yesterday To me so soon they filled their short career. To thee discourse of reason have they brought, With sense of time and change; and something, too, Of this precarious state of things have taught, Where man abideth never in one stay; And of mortality, a mournful thought. And I have seen thine eyes suffused in grief, When I have said that with Autumnal grey The touch of old hath marked thy father's head; That even the longest day of life is brief, And mine is falling fast into the yellow leaf. Thy happy nature from the painful thought With instinct turns, and scarcely canst thou bear To hear me name the grave: thou knowest not How large a portion of my heart is there ! The faces which I loved in infancy Are gone; and bosom friends of riper age, With whom I gladly talked of years to come, Summoned before me to their heritage, Are in a better world beyond the tomb. And I have brethren there, and sisters dear, And dearer babes. I therefore needs must dwell Often in thought with those whom still I love so well. Thus wilt thou feel in thy maturer mind; When grief shall be thy portion, thou wilt find Safe consolation in such thoughts as these— A present refuge in affliction's hour. And if indulgent heaven thy lot should bless With all imaginable happiness, Here shalt thou have, my child, beyond all power, Of chance, thy holyest, surest, best delight. Take therefore now thy father's latest lay, Perhaps his last— and treasure in thine heart The feelings that its musing strains convey; A song it is of life's decl'ning day, Yet meet for youth. Vain passions to excite No strains of morbid sentiment I sing, Nor tell of idle loves with ill- spent breath ; A reverent offering to the grave I bring, And twine a garland for the brow of Death. YORKSHIRE SUMMER ASSIZES. CIVIL COURT.— KINO V. WATERWORTH. This was a charge of perjury against the defendant, a Solicitor at Doncastfvr, who, Mr. BROUGHAM said, had been dealt with under circumstances of peculiar hardship. It was now several years since the charge was firgt preferred, and the trial had been postponed at an immense expense to the defendant, who was declared NOT GUILTY;— no evidence being offered against him. KING V. WM. HIRST. This was an indictment for perjury. It was alleged that the defendant had stated, in an answer to a Bill in Chancery, dated the 26th Dec. last, that he was not an assignee to a bankrupt of the name of James Ramsden, of Golcar/ near Huddersfield, about the year 1814. In the sequel it proved, that he had been a sort of professional assignee, and took the management of affairs till another should be appointed, which appointment ultimately took place. The evidence not being sufficient to sustain the charge, the Jury acquitted the defendant. LOWLEY V. DOBSON AND ANOTHER. Miles Lowley, of Ripon, is the plaintiff, and John Dobson and Wm. Peacock, the defendants in this case, • who also reside at Ripon. The plaintiff is in the habit of carrying timber. Keeps horses and waggons for that purpose. In 1823 and 1824 the plaintiff's men, horses, and waggons, had been em- ployed in remov ng timber from Walshford, Marton- le- Moor, and Coistone, some distance from Ilipon, to that place. The work done was proved to a much greater amount than £ 11.12s. 7d., the sum sought to be reco- vered. The ground on which payment was refused by the defendant was, that the plaintiff" had not completed his job, and that there was an agreement between them that no money should be paid till it was finished. Verdict for the Plaintiff— Damages £ 11.12s. Id. BEECROFT AND OTHERS V. WATSON. Mr. HARDY stated the case to the Jury. This was an action originally brought by the plaintiffs Messrs. Beecroft, Heath, and Butler, iron- manufacturers, at Kirkstall Forge, near this town, and who also have a warehouse in Leeds, to recover from the defendant a balance of £ 14.175. which he owed upon account to the plaintiff's for goods sold and delivered. To prove the delivery of all of which would have required a great number of witnesses; the plaintiffs therefore only went for £ 6 15s.- Damages £ 6 15s.- Costs4Qs. probability that the ports would open had ceased, and the ) arley dropped down from20s. to 14s. or even 13s. aqnar- ter. Then the defendants began to think the samples did not agree. Before that, no objection had been raised. The corn was ultimately put into a warehouse at Grimsby. The plaintiff, in consequence of the non- performance of the contract, had incurred considerable expenses, and to these should be added the loss arising from not giving the bills. The damages were laid at £ 1500, including the 619 quarters, which amounted to as many pounds. The contract was proved, and put in evidence. Mr. Whitehead, Clerk of the plaintiff, said the first parcel of barley arrived on the 11th of April, and notice was given to the defendants by letter. Witness also made personal application to them. He inquired of Mr. W. Todd where the barley was to be' landed ? He said one of his partners was at Grimsby, and their agent there, Mr. Thorp, would give directions. As the vessels arrived, witness presented samples. Witness also sent them particulars. On the 29th of April, he called at Messrs. Todds, with a note of the quantities of barley, and to know where it was to be landed. No answer was given. The barley was warehoused at Grimsby, and notice was given to the de- fendants on the 8th of June. They were afterwards removed to Hull. By Mr. SCARLETT— One of the vessels, to make up the quantity, was the Freiheite. She arrived in the Humber on the 28th April, and was reported on the 30th. She could not deliver her cargo till then. The whole of the 3,000 quarters is not now on hand. A part has been sold at a guinea a quarter. Mr. SCARLETT submitted that the plaintiff must be non- suited. It was clear from the contract, that the defend- ants were not bound to adopt and pay by parts. The whole was to be delivered in all April, or. sooner. The vessel was not reported until the 30th, and could not deliver till the cargo was entered. Mr. TINDALL said it was enough if the Freiheite was alongside the vessel or wharf of the defendants. Mr. JUSTICE BAYLEY.— YOU must bring her up in suffi- cient time that the cargo may be delivered in the course of that day. The contract was entire. They were not bound to take less than 3,000 quarters. Was there time, on the 30th, to deliver the quantity that was wanting? Whitehead was recalled, and other witnesses were ex- amined, but none of them could establish this point—• One of them stated, that it took three or four days to unload the Freiheite. Mr. TINDALL admitted that it would require the whole of the cargo of that vessel to make up the quantity; but he contended that the plaintiff had dpne all that was ne- cessary. The buyer ought to have said where the barley was to be delivered. Mr. JUSTICE BAYLEY— My difficulty is, that the vessel arrived so late in April, that you could not complete your contract in that month. Mr. TINDALL I contend we have complied with the terms of the contract. The barley was " to be delivered alongside any vessel or wharf at Grimsby or Hull." By " delivered" here, is only meant that it was to be in a con- dition to be delivered. The actual delivery was to rest upon the convenience of the buyer. As we were in the dock on the 29th, and they would not give directions, the fault is theirs. Upon the legal construction of this contract: we have done all that is required of us. Mr. PATTINSON.— Ours was merely to be a delivery alongside. Mr. JUSTICE BAYLEY— I think otherwise. Mr. SCARLETT.— Can there be a doubt ? Was the buyer to deliver the cargo to himself? After some further discussion on the form in which the action had been brought, Mr. JUSTICE BAYLEY inquired if Mr. TINDALL could shew that notice had been given to the defendants, of the Freiheite's arrival, injime for them to have taken out all the cargo, before the end of the month of April ? No evidence being offered 011 this point, his Lordship directed the plaintiff to be Nonsuited. WASLING V. GOODY. This was an action against the defendant for an illegal distress. The declaration included counts for distraining and selling the plaintiff's goods, when no rent was due,— for an unreasonable distress, for keeping possession, and for not paying the overplus. Mr. SCARLETT, in his address to the Jury, stated that the plaintiff was a poor man at Newland, near Hull; and the defendant a friend and agent of Mr. Rush worth, an attorney at that place. At the last assizes, a case was tried, in which a Mr. Wayre wasthe plaintiff and Goody one of his witnesses. Wasling was called to contradict Goody,. and had the misfortune to be believed by the Jury. Was- ling at that time occupied some premises occupied by his wife's mother. Rushworch had the care of the estate, which was in Chancery, and Goody was the receiver. Soon after the assizes it was determined to turn Wasling out of his house, and for that purpose, Mr. Rushworth and his son, with Mr. Goody, and England, a constable, proceeded to Newland. There was nobody in Wasling's house at that time, his wife being at a neighbour's. Intel- ligence was sent to her that this party had got into the house; and she supposing that Mr. Goody wanted lent, applied to a neighbour, who went with her and offered to pay whatever was due » Mr. Goody said he wanted posses- sion and refused the money. The goods were taken out of the house aud scattered in the street. Mr. Rush worth clapped a padlock 011 the door, and Mrs. Wasling, far advanced in pregnancy was obliged to seek a lodging for the night. He wished he could tell them the rest of the story. Would they believe, that this unfortunate man, upon the evidence of Mr Rushworth and his witness Mr. Goody, had been convicted of perjury at the Beverley Sessions ? On that subject he was not allowed to say more,— but one day, if he ( Mr. S.) lived, Mr. Rushworth should hear of it. Witnesses were then called to prove the trespass and other parts of the case. Mr. COLTMAN addressed the Jury for the defendant. A barer and more trumpery case had seldom been stated in a court of justice. This action was not brought until the plaintiff was indicted by Goody, for perjury committed at the last assizes. So much for its origin— now then for its nature. An agreement which he should produce, would put the plaintiff out of Court. He agreed to quit the premises on the 5th of April, and the alleged trespass was commited on the 6' th. Mr. Goody took possession of the premises as he had an undoubted right to do, and he distrained for the rent which was actually due. An over- plus of 6s. 9d. according to the act, ought to have been left in the hands of the constable, instead of which it was left with the auctioneer; and for that most frivolous sum this malicious action was brought. The defendant stood in a fair light, if he had'made a slip he must answer for it; but beyond that there rested upon him no sort of imputation whatever. A witness of the name of Benson, was examined to shew that 110 violence was committed in making the distress, and that Wasling's wife assisted in removing the furniture. It appeared the tender was made in provincial notes. Mr. Rushivorth was called to prove the agreement between the parties, and the circumstances attending the levying of the distress. By Mr. SCARLETT.— Upon your oath Sir, have you not to pay the expenses of this prosecution ? Witness— I have not nor any part thereof. Mr. BROUGHAM— Mr. Scarlett intends to pay the expenses out of his own pocket. Mr. SCARLETT.— Don't couple me with him,— he is such a respectable man. Witness— I'm as respectable as you, Sir, although you're such a great counsellor. Mr. SCARLETT.— I'm sorry to hear that. Mr. BROUGHAM observed his learned friend was always attacking Mr. Rushworth. Mr. SCARLETT.— Well, Mr. Brougham, Mr. Rushworth has paid me off for all that I have done and for all that I intend to do, by comparing me with himself. The agreement was read. It stated that Wasling was to occupy the house from the 14th October, 1824, to the 5th April, 1825, and for that period was to pay a rent of £ 2. 10s. If he did not give up the peaceable possession on the 5th of April, Mr. Goody was to be allowed to enter by force, and turn out him, his family, and furniture, without being liable to damages or subject to legal proceedings. Mr. SCARLETT replied and Mr. Justice BAYLEY summed up, remarking that there was no evidence that a legal tender was made. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, upon the count for an unreasonable distress— Damages 12s. 9d. Marsden was the lord, started a plan of erecting another market in a different part of the town from the one where it was usually held— but as it was opposed by Mr. Marsden, it was abandoned, and part of the property converted into cottages. As the town increased, however, and the holding a market in the narrow street became inconveni- ent to the inhabitants, some time in the year 1800, Mr. Rawson purchased part of the property which the projec- tors of the new market had intended for that purpose ; this was in New- street, and the market which had before been held in Westgate was removed there. And as the town of Bradford increased in opulence and population, and more accommodation became necessary, in 1823 Mr. Rawson opened another market in Dar l'ey- street; there was therefore every accommodation for persons wanting to go to market either as buyers or sellers. When Mr. Marsdenwas Lord of the Manor, as he resided in Lancashire at some distance, the management of the property was left to his agents, Messrs. Bentley and Lambert, whom Mr. Rawson continued to employ. Mr Lambert ( whom he now saw sitting behind his learned friend, instructing him) had formerly been very active in supporting the rights of Mr. Marsden and Mr. Rawson. Unfortunately some dispute took place, but he hoped that wras not the reason why he now saw him on the other side.— He did not mean to contend, that, as the population increased, and the wants of the people extended, that no necessaries were to be sold except 011 market- days. There were in all large towns, shops, in which butchers and fruiterers dis- posed of their wares; but these were residents, and 110 person had a right to erect a new market in any town where there was already one existing, without leave of the Lord of the Manor. Mr. Wright, however, perhaps under the advice of Mr. Lambert, or some better counsel, had thought he might, without any grant, without any leave, set up a market on his own premises. He had erected buildings for shambles, with places between for stalls, and every other accommodation for buyer and seller; and he had enticed people to frequent his market, and leave Mr. Rawson's. It would be no answer to this action to say, that no toll was taken; the question had been tried,— for, some years back, a gentleman of the name of Akers and some others had established a market at Manchester, which was opposed by Sir J. M. Mosley, Bart. Lord of the Manor. A special case was agreed to, which was argued before Lord Mansfield, whose judgment was affirmative of his view of the question. A great deal of documentary and. parole evidence was produced to establish the right of the Lord of the Manor; and to shew the custom relating to the manor. The wit- nesses were cross- examined with a view to shew that people resident in the town, had sold meat, & c. on stalls before their own shops, or in their own shops— a point his Lordship did not consider material— as it was very dif- ferent from erecting a market, to entice non- residents to the town. It was also shewn that Mr. Wright had erected a new market, and the counsel for the defence put a ques- tion to one of the witnesses as to whether this market was not a great accommodation to the townspeople. His Lordship said, that would be no justification— they had no right to invade another man's right of market, what- ever public advantage might be derived. If Mr. Wright wanted a new market, he must apply to the crown for a writ of ad quod damnum.— It appeared, that some of those persons who occupied shops in the defendant's market, had shops at their own houses in the town. It did not, however, appear that any tolls were taken in the plain- tiff's market, the profits arising from stallage. Mr. BROUGHAM, for the defence, said he should first notice the remark made by his learned friend, Mr. Scar- lett, upon the conduct of Mr. Lambert, who, being a respectable man, and not used to the jokes of his learned friend, felt rather uneasy while he was running his riggs upon him. Mr. Lambert had, 20 years ago, been em- ployed for the Lord of the Manor, and was now employed against him. It was very unprofessional conduct 110 doubt, and he had met with only one similar instance in the course of his practice;— that was one of great autho- rity with him, though the modesty of his learned friend would, 110 doubt, make light of it— for it was his own case. It was only last week that a learned and eloquent friend ( Mr. Pollock) had rebuked Mr. S. and he himself ( Mr. Brougham) was a party in the censure— for having been then engaged for the plaintiff', when he had previ- ously been engaged for the defendant— and even his attor- ney was in the same predicament. He had been once down, and on his getting up, pushed him down again, for which assault this action was brought. It was alleged 011 the part of the defendant, that the plaintiff employed his lad to take files back which he had got paid for working at, and by taking them again to the warehouse, he got paid twice for one job. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages One Farthing. At half- past ten o'clock this forenoon, the Assizes closed, four cases being left as remanets. against Mr. Rawson and now was for him ; and Mr. Lam- bert was once for him, and was now against him. The difference between the two cases, wras precisely that be- tween a cat looking in at a window, and a cat looking out — and as what was sauce for the goose was sauce for the gander— he thought a proper impartiality ought to be pre- served in dealing out praise or censure. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to contend for two points ; first, that 110 tolls were levied in Bradford market, therefore the action could not lay; and 2dly, that the market having been taken out of the ancient manor into property afterwards purchased, it could not be considered as coming within the terms of the grant. The Jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge, returned a Verdict for the Plaintiff— Damages Is.— reserving the above two points. - WALKER V. TAYLOR. The plaintiff is a merchant at Bury, in Lancashire, and the defendant is a dyer at Meltham, near Huddersfield. The present action was brought to recover the value of a chest of indigo, alleged to have been delivered to the de- fendant. It was proved on the part of the plaintiff, that the chest in question was sold by his agent to the defend- ant, and that it was directed to G. T. M. and sent by the carrier; that it was delivered by mistake to George Taylor, dyer, of Thick Hollins, who, finding that it was not his, forwarded it to thedefendant by his ( defendant's) own cart in September last. The defendant endeavoured to show that he never purchased the indigo in question; that it never was received by him, and that the witnesses called 011 the part of the plaintiff were completely in error— The Jury found a Verdict for the Plaintiff— Damages £ 131. 5s. FRIDAY, July 29. BATES and ANOTHER v. WARING. This was an action brought by the assignees of George Wigglesworth, bankrupt, of Halifax, to recover from the defendant, a broker, of Liverpool, the value of a quantity of rags, and other merchandise, the property of the bankrupt. The plaintiff failed in establishing a suffi- cient creditor's debt .— Plaintiff nonsuited. HARRISON V. BROOKE. The plaintiff in this case, is a stone- mason, living near Brighouse, and the action was brought to recover com- pensation for the loss of the services of his son, in conse- quence of the injury done him by the defendant. It appeared, that the defendant who is a plasterer, either actuated by a malicious motive, or perhaps in sport, threw a trowel full of lime into the face of the plaintiff's son, a fine boy of 14 years of age, the consequence of which, was the total loss of the sight of one of his eyes— from an inflammation, produced by a portion of the lime, which unfortunately had got into it. The boy himself, and several other witnesses fully established the case, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages £ 20. Costs 40*. WEDNESDAY, Jubj 27. TAYLOR V. WILSON AND OTHERS. The plaintiff in this case was formerly herdsman of Booth am Stray, belonging to the freemen of York; and this action was brought against the " pasture- masters" and a constable, for a trespass, in entering and taking forcible possession of the plaintiff's dwelling- house on the said Stray, and turning out his family and effects. Mr. Ser jeant CROSS, with Mr. DODD, conducted the plaintiff's case. The trespass was proved in the usual form. Mr SCAR- LETT, for the defendants, said, the interest of the plain- tiff in these premises was that of a mere servant, that he paid no rent for them, and that nothing could be plainer in law, than that a servant, who occupied premises as part of his remuneration for wages, was bound to give them up when he was discharged from the service. Evi- dence of the employment and discharge of the plaintiff by the pasture- masters for the time being, and also on other points, was then called. After a reply from Mr. Serjeant CROSS, the Jury were charged by Mr Justice BAYLEY, who observed that the questions for their consideration were— 1. Whether the plaintiff had a right to occupy the house when the trespass was committed ; and 2. If he had such a right, what damages they ought to give for the manner in which he had been dispossessed. His Lordship then went through the evidence, pointing out its bearings upon the several parts of the case; and ?, fte£ i'al, fa2 hour's deliberation, returned a VerdictJor the Defendants. Cox. V. TODD AND OTHERS ( Special Jury.} Mr. PATTINSON opened the pleadings. Mr. TINDALL stated the case. The parties were all merchants at Hull, and the action was brought against the defendants for a breach of contract. In March last there was some expectation that the ports would be opened to foreign barley, and the defendants thought it desirable to have- a quantity ready to slip into the port of Hull. On the/ thof March, they entered into a contract with the plaintiff, who agreed to sell them 3,000 quarters, at 20s. aquaxter," to be delivered in all April, alongside any vessel or wharf at Grimsby or Hull," and to be paid for in bills of exchange at three months. Mr. Cox having in a ware- house at Grimsby, belonging to the defendants, 619 ouar- I ufl'Jt^ Fti***^ thi8 ^ antity should be taken in part. In a short time the remainder of the barley arrived from abroad, in di fferent vessels, and Messrs. Todd were request- ed tost ate where thby wished it to be taken; but they would | *' V6 no answer. At length the 30th of April arrived, when the whole Of the barley ought to be delivered: Thp THURSDAY, July 28— HORSE CAUSE. SAMSON V. BELL. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a farmer residing in the East- Riding, to recover of the defendant, a medical gentleman at Pocklington, the sum of £ 28 w nich he had paid on a warranty for a mare, which had since turned out to be lame and unsound. The sale took place on the 6th of May last, and several wit- nesses were called for the plaintiff, who swore that she was very lame before that time. The lameness was said to be discovered within a day after the sale, and a farrier, who examined her on the 14th, swore that he found a cal- lous substance growing round the coronet, and also a tendency to ossification in the cartilages of her heels; that her feet were contracted; that the disease of con- tracted feet did not come on in a hurry; and that it was an unsoundness of which a horse could not be cured, how- ever, it might be doctored up for " sale. On the 25th of May, the plaintiff sent the mare back to the defendant, who refused to take her, alleging that she was perfectly sound on the 6' th of May, when he sold her. Several witnesses who had known her from a foal, deposed that she had never been lame whilst in the defendant's occupa- tion, and in confirmation of what they swore, stated that the doctor was in the habit of riding her day and night to see his patients, A farrier, who had been accus- tomed to attend to the mare before she was sold, swore that 011 her being returned to his master, he found her very lame on the off forefoot, a circumstance M'hich he conceived to have arisen from her feet being ruined, first for want of shoeing, and afterwards from too much of the hoof having been cut off when that operation was last performed. The evidence, as in all horse causes, was of the most contradictory and conflicting nature. The Jury, after hearing the observations of the Judge upon it, returned a Verdict for the Plaintiff for £ 28, together with the expense to which he had been put for the keep of it during the time it had been in his possession. DOE DEM. DUKE OF LEEDS V. BRAIIAM. In this case the Duke of Leeds, as lord of the manor of Wakefield, claimed the possession of a valuable copy- hold estate, at Stanley, within that manor. The property in question formerly belonged to a lady of the name of Shaw, Who married a Mr. Copley. In 1765, Mr. Robert Copley was admitted, at the manor courts, as heir to his mother. This gentleman made a will, the same year, leaving the estate to a natural son, with remainders fand, in this will, Sir Bryan Cooke and a Mr. Hodgson were named as trustees. Both these gentlemen died before the testator;— the devises were rendered void; and, owing to the omission of some legal forms, it became doubtful, on the death of the natural son ( who had only been ad mitted for life) who was the rightful owner. Under these circumstances the Duke of Leeds, according to the custom of the manor and the law of the land, asserted his right to seize and keep the estate, in his own hand, until a pro- per heir applied for admittance.- The steward of the manor, Mr. H. Lumb, was examined at great length, and a multi- tude of ancient documents were produced and put in evi- dence. After a good deal of discussion between Messrs. SCARLETT, MAUDE, and TINDALL, for the plaintiff, and Messrs. WILLIAMS and POLLOCK for the defence, his Lord- ship observed to the Jury that the case involved many questions of law, which it was desirable to submit to the Court from which the record came; and under iiis direc- tions. they returned a verdict for the plaintiff; — Damages One Shilling. RAWSON V. YOUNG—( Special Jury.) Mr. PARK said, Benjamin Rawson. Esq. wasthe plain- tiff, and the Rev. Godfrey Wright, defendant. The plain- tiff, as Lord of the Manor of Bradford, is entitled to hold a market in that town, and to receive certain rents and dues— and the defendant claims a right to erect a market there, which plaintiff resists. Mr. SCARLETT said, the plaintiff, as lord of the manor of Bradford, was in possession of the right of holding a market there, and receiving the rents and dues arising therefrom. — The right was derived by grant from the crown: and such grant was never given till after a writ oi ad quod dam- num was issued, which was directed to the sheriff" of the county, who then assembled a jury, to inquire whether the granting such a market- would be injurious to existing rights. The last market granted by the crown in this kingdom, was granted last year, after a writ of ad quod damnum had been issued, to the parish of Limehouse, which was contiguous to London. Mr. Rawson claimed under one of these grants, and he should produce one of great antiquity indeed— as old as the 35th of Henry III. This was to Edward Lacey, on whom the King conferred the manor of Bradford, with allitsrightsandimmunities, the privilege of holding markets, & c. The manor became united to the Duchy of Lancaster; and, in the reign of Charles I., all the property of the Duchy of Lancaster having become vested In the crown, a grant was made to the parties under whom Mr. Raw sen now claimed; and every former existing privilege was granted as fully as could be. Mr. Marsden was the immediate predecessor of Mr. Rawson as lord of the manor; and it became the lat tcr's by purchase, in 1795. Some persons had wrhilst Mr. STEPHENSON V. BENNETT and ANOTHER. Special Jury. Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. BLACKBURN conducted the case for the prosecution; and Messrs. BROUGHAM and ALDER- SON for the defence. It was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is deputy registrar of the West- Riding, to recover a compensation in damages for an injury sustained by the overturning of the Ebor Coach, on which he was travelling from Wakefield to York, on the 18th of May. Jeremiah Shaxo, is ostler at the Old George, Garforth Bridge, and has been for several months. On the 18th of May, the Ebor was running between Wakefield and Aber- ford. The hill which has to be descended from Wakefield is very long, but not steep. Saw the Ebor on the 18th coming down the hill, faster than common, nearly 100 yards from Garforth Bridge. All the horses were upon the canter; and their speed increased. When they came upon the Leeds and Ferrybridge road, he thought they would have gone over the right hand hedge. They turned and came more into the middle of the road; the coach went a few yards on the off- side wheel, and then fell over. The passengers were thrown over the hedge. There were six or seven on the outside. Witness did not see any luggage. He saw Mr. Stephenson after he was brought into the house. Mr. BROUGHAM said, to save time, he would admit the plaintiff had met with a severe accident and broke his leg, and no one more regretted that circumstance than the coach proprietors. Examination continued.— Witness took up the chain now produced. It belonged to a trace which was broken.—[ The chain was handed to the Jury; one of the extreme links was Worn very thin; and the hook was bent in such a manner, that the barrel of a pen could be introduced between it and the part to which it should be attached.] John Horsfall, a miller, and. Richard Jennings, a farmer, saw the coach in its progress down the hill, and anticipat- ing an accident, from its unusual velocity, ran towards the spot. Edward Goodall, knew one of the mares which ran in the defendants' coach. Mr. BLACKBURN— Now you have not told me yet whe- ther this mare had a peculiar character distinct from the other three— A. Why she was a mare— fa laugh.) Mr. B.— yes, we know that— but was she quiet or not ? — A. She was a lively mare. Mr. Justice BAYLEY.— Was she quiet to manage.— A. I can't say; she was lively like. Mr. BLACKBURN.— But wras she restive and skittish ?— A. She was a very likely mare for her business. Cross- examined by Mr. BROUGHAM.— It would not do to drive horses that were not lively ?— A. Oh no! we could do nothing with dead horses on that road. Mr. BROUGHAM.— No to be sure, my learnedfriend knows nought about it. He is used to dead horses you know. Chas. Clarke, a passenger by the Ebor, sat near Mr. Stephenson and the guard, on the back part of the coach. The pace of the coach was increased as it went down the hill. Witness expecting the coach would overturn got off. He had previously heard the guard ask the coachman why he was driving so quickly. The guard got off at the bottom of the hill. Witness was much hurt. By Mr. ALDERSON.— They had previously been driven at the rate of six or seven miles an hour. There were four passengers in front; one of them was on the box. Mr. Ebenezer Walker, surgeon, at Wakefield, was called in to attend Mr. Stephenson on the day of the accident. Both the bones of the right leg were broken a little above the ancle joint. He has been attended by witness and two other surgeons ever since, and is not yet well; but wit- ness hopes and believes that the limb may become perfect. Mr. BROUGHAM made an ingenious speech on the part of the defendants. He attributed the unfortunate occurrence ( which no one, he said, lamented more than the proprie- tors themselves), entirely to accident, against which no human foresight could have guarded; and said he should produce witnesses to prove that this was the fact. Mr. William Story, Mr. Pashley, Mr. Lqftus, Mr. Hill, and Mr. Kelshaw, outside passengers by the Ebor on the 18th of May, were called.—( There were only six outside passengers, besides the plaintiff; for whom one was a witness.)— The evidence of these gentlemen was to the effect— that the coachman drove very carefully and steadily, at the rate of from seven to nine miles an hour, up to the period when the accident happened ; that the horses wrere perfectly quiet; that the harness appeared to be complete, and in good condition ; and that every care appeared to be taken. Two of them were unable to give any account of the cause of the accident; but the other three stated, that in coming down the hill the near- side leader stumbled over a gutter, and came almost to his knees ; that one of the reins broke, by which the coach- man lost all government of the two leaders, who set off at full gallop, and then all the horses became quite un- manageable. Anthony Lamb, the coachman, and Robert Watson, the guard, gave a similar account of the accident. James Newell, the horse- keeper at Wakefield, stated, that before the coach set off he examined the harness, which was sound and safe. The reins were very good and strong, and had been used every day since the accident in the Selby coach.-[ They were produced and handed to the Jury.] Some witnesses were called by Mr. SCARLETT, to prove that, at the time of the accident, the guard and coachman had attributed it to other causes, and. particularly to the state of the harness. Mr. BROUGHAM Spoke to evidence; and Mr. SCARLETT replied, contending that public justice and the public safety required, they should give the plaintiff exemplary damages. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, the questions for the jury were, was the plaintiff injured in consequence of the overturn of the coach ? Was there negligence imputable to the defendants ? And, if there wras, what was the proper compensation in damages for the serious injury, which, according to the evidence, the plaintiff had sus- tained ? His lordship enlarged on each of these points; and on the second of them remarked, that it was the bounden duty of stage proprietors to be perfectly free from blame; and, in order to this, they must provide proper cattle, harness adequate to its purpose; and such a coachman as would drive carefully and steadily. The Jury retired for a short time, and returned into court with a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages £ 100. THE LION FIGHT AT WARWICK. This contest,, which has been so long and so much talked of, actually took place on Tuesday week at Warwick. Wombwell, the proprietor of the menage- rie in which the lion Nero is travelling about the coun- try, had prepared a large cage for the combat, and a kind of theatre was fitted up in the factor}' yard where Ward and Cannon were to have fought, to which per- sons were admitted to see the fight, on payment of a guinea for the best places, aud half a guinea for the worst. An attempt was made by a gentleman who had been sent by Mr. Martin from London, to prevent the fight, but the Magistrates refused to interfere. The six dogs which were to cope with the lion were brought the preceding day to Warwick ; they were for the most part crossed between the bull and mastiff breed, and weighed on the average from 35 to 451bs. At a quarter past seven in the evening, about 500 spectators being assem- bled, the preparations for the combat commenced. The lion's travelling caravan was drawn close to the fighting cage, and the keeper, Wombwell, then going into the travelling caravan, the animal followed him into the cage as tamely as a Newfoundland dog. Wombwell having quitted the cage, the first relay of dogs was laid on, and described by the names of Captain, Tiger, and Turk, about 401bs. weight a- piece. As the dogs were held for a minute in slips, upon the inclined plane which ran from the ground to the stage, the lion crouched on his belly to receive them ; but with so per- fect an absence of any thing like ferocity, that many persons were of opinion he rather was disposed- to play. At the first rush of the dogs— which the lion evidently had not expected, and did not at all know how to meet — they all fixed on him. With a single effort he shook them off, without attempting to return the attack. He then flew from side to side of the cage, endeavouring to get away ; but in the next moment the assailants were upon him again; and Turk seized him by the nose, while the two others fastened at the same time on the fleshy part of his lips and under jaw. The lion then roared dreadfully, but evidently only from the pain he suffered— not at all from anger. As the dogs hung to his throat and head, he pawed them off by sheer strength; and in doing this, and rolling upon them, did them considerable mischief; but he never once bit or attempted to bite, during the whole contest, or seemed to have any^ desire to retaliate any of the punishment which was inflicted upon him. When he was first " pinned" for instance, the dogs hung to him for more than a minute, and were drawn, holding to his nose and lips, several times round the ring. After a short time, roaring tremendously, he tore them off with his claws ; mauling two a good deal with the ope- ration ; but still not attempting afterwards to act on the offensive. After about five minutes' fighting, the fallow- coloured dog was taken away— lame, and ap- parently much distressed, and the remaining two con- tinued the combat alone— the lion still working only with his paws, as though seeking to rid himself of a torture, the nature of which he did not well understand. In two or three minutes more, the second dog, Tiger, being dreadfully maimed, crawled out of the cage; and the brown dog, Turk, which was the lightest of the three, but of admirable courage, went on fighting by himself. A most extraordinary scene then ensued : the dog, left entirely alone with an animal of twenty times its weight, continued the battle with unabated fury, and, though bleeding all over from the effect of the lion's claws, seized and pinned him by the nose at least half a dozen times; when, at length, releasing himself with a desperate effort, the lion flung his whole weigfil upon the dog, and held him lying between his fore paws for more than a minute, during which time he could have bitten his head off a hundred times over, but did not make the slightest effort to hurt him. Poor Turk was then taken away by the dog- keepers, griev- ously mangled but still alive, and seized the lion, for at least the twentieth time, the very same moment that he was released from under him. It would be tiresome to go at length into the detail of the u second fight," as it was called, which followed this: the undertaking being that there should be two onsets, at twenty minutes' interval, by three dogs at each time. When the last dog of the first set, Turk, was removed, the keeper, Wombwell, " Went into the cage instantly, and alone, carrying a pan of water, with which he first sluiced the animal, and then offered him some to drink. The second combat presented only a repetition of the barbarities committed in the first, except that it com- pletely settled the doubt— if any existed— as to a sum of money being depending. In throwing water upon the lion, a good deal had been thrown upon the stage. This made the floor of course extremely slippery ; and so far it was a very absurd blunder to commit. But the second set of dogs let in being heavier than the first and the lion more exhausted, he was unable to keep his footing on the wet boards, and fell in endeavouring to shake them off, bleeding freely from the nose and head, and evidently in a fair way to be seriously in- jured. The dogs, all three, seized him on going in, and he endeavoured to get rid of them in the same way as before, using his paws, and not thinking of fighting, but not with the same success. He fell now, and showed symptoms of weakness, upon which the dogs were taken away. Some confusion then followed; after which the dogs were again put in, and again seized the lion, who by this time, as well as bleeding freely from the head, appeared to have got a hurt in one of his fore feet. At length the danger of mischief becoming pressing, and the two divisions of the second combat having lasted about five minutes, Mr. Womb- well announced that he gave up on the part of the lion ; and the exhibition was declared to be at an end. It was quite clear, from the moment when the combat began, that the lion had no more thought or knowledge of fighting than a sheep would have had under the same circumstances. His absolute refusal to bite is a curious fact; he had evidently no idea of using his mouth or teeth as a means for his defence. ANEW ENVELOPE, TO PREVENT IMPOSITION.— A.

Wombwell has, notwithstanding the strong expres- sion of public indignation which accompanied the ex- posure of the' lion Nero to the six dogs, kept his word with the lovers of cruel sports by a second exhibition. He matched his " Wallace," a fine lion, cubbed in Scotland, against six of the best dogs that could be found. Wallace's temper is the very opposite to that of the gentle Nero. It is but seldom that he lets even his feeders approach him, and he soon shows that he cannot reconcile himself to familiarity from any crea- ture not of his own species. Nero has completely recovered, we are glad to say, from the severe usage he received ; but of his opponents, the spirited Turk is dead, and most of the rest are much torn and maimed. Towards eight o'clock the Factory- yard was well attended, at 5s. each person, and soon after the battle commenced. The lion was turned from his den to the same stage on which Nero fought. The match was— lst. Three couples of dogs to be slipped at him— two at a time. 2d. Twenty minutes or more* as the umpires should think fit, to be allowed between each attack. 3d. The dogs to be handed to the cage once only. Tinker, Ball, Billy, Sweep, Turpiu, and Tiger. THE FIGHT. In the lst round, Tinker and Ball were let loose, and both made a gallant attack; the lion having waited for them as if aware of the approach of his foes. He showed himself a forest lion, and fought like one. He clapped his paw upon poor Ball, took Tinker in his teeth, and deliberately walked round the stage with him as a cat would with a mouse. Ball, released from the paw, worked all he could, but Wallace treated his slight punishment by a kick now and then. He at length dropped Tinker, and that poor animal crawled off the stage as well as he could. The lion then seized Ball by the mouth, and played precisely the same game with him as if he had been actually trained to it. Ball would have been almost devoured, but his second got hold of him through the bars, and hauled him away. Turpin, a London, and Sweep, a Liverpool, dog, made an excellent attack, but it was three or four minutes before the ingenuity of their seconds could get them on. Wallace squatted on his haunches, and placed himself erect at the slope where the dogs mounted the stage, as if he thought they dared not approach. The dogs when on fought gallantly, but both were vanquished in less than a minute after their attack. The London dog bolted as soon as he could extricate himself from the lion's grasp, but Sweep would have been killed on the spot but he was released. Wetlgbury untied Billy and Tiger, casting a most piteous look upon the wounded dogs around him. Both went to work. Wallace seized Billy by the loins, and when shaking him, Tiger having run away, Wedg- bury cried out, " There you see how you have gam- moned me to have the best dog in England killed."— Billy, however, escaped with his life. He was dragged through the railing, after having received a mark in the loins, which ( if he recovers at all) will probably render him unfit for any future contest. The victory, of course, was declared in favour'' of the lion. Several well- dressed women viewed the contest from the upper apartment of the factory.

Our market opened last week very languidly, and the few purchases that were made the two first days were at reduced rates, notwithstanding the disposition on the part of the importers and speculators to make sales evi- dently increased, without however drawing the trade into the market; their determination to sell at all hazards was made known on Tuesday by the announcement of the largest quantity to be otteredby auction ever remembered, under circumstances that added greatly to the interest which the magnitude of the sale naturally excited. Of course all private business was suspended. On Friday we had an unusual influx of the dealers and spinners, and so great was the concourse which interest and curiosity had brought together, that the Exchange News Room, where the sales were held, was completely crowded. The quan- tity advertised was 16,326 bags; about 5000 were, how- ever, withdrawn; the remainder went off with more spirit, and at a less sacrifice than had generally been anticipated, the average decline being about 13d. • 6" lb— The following is the result Offrd. 6473Boweds- - 4445 sold at 8d. to ] 2d. ord. to prime.

There was some little inquiry for speculation, and had holders been inclined to make any farther concessions, some investments would have been made, perhaps to a considerable extent. LIVERPOOL.

Or. his coming to defendant's premises, he was assailed with abuse by Gaunt, who charged him with conniving at the'lad's villany.

These little lamps do not flash and glimmer, like that of the fire fly, but give as steady a light as the gas light, exhibiting two per- fect spheres, as large as a minute pearl, which afford light enough in the darkest night to enable one to read print by them. On carrying her into a dark closet in the day time she immediately illuminates her lamps, and instantly extinguishes them on coining again into the light. But language cannot describe die beauty and sublimity of these lucid orbs in miniature, with which nature has endowed the queen of the insect kingdom.— New York Advertiser.
