former Wm. from Prince, having gentleman, injured one were of excused attendance, his hands, and the other from being beyond age. The Queen's proclamation against vice and immorality, and for the promotion of virtue, having been read, The RECORDER briefly charged the Grand Jury. He said that he and the Borough must feel obliged to those gentlemen who had attended to discharge the duties of Grand Jurymen, but he regretted that some had not attended who had been summoned, absent he had therefore imposed a fine upon those who were and had not sent any excuse for their non-attendance, for he it was not fair to those who were present that others who thought ought to have attended should be allowed to keep away without any excuse. The number in attendance was so small, more than thirteen or fourteen, that he had been under not being the necessity of refusing leave of absence to one gentleman present who had asked for it; because some of the Jury might be taken ill, and then the number would be reduced below that it was desirable for the purposes of justice the Grand Jury should consist of.
With respect to the cases to come before them, they but the number of cases was not more than usual; for it would find that the number of prisonera for trial was alarmingly large, would be found that several of the offences had been committed number of persons at once. The average number of cases had usually been about 80, and the number of felonies for trial at by a the present Sessions was 76. He mentioned this because it was question with him at a previous Quarter Sessions whether the he a Spring Sessions should be held before or after the Assizes: winter thought it better to lengthen the summer than the quarter. As to those cases in which more persons sufficient than one that were the actual thief and the other person or persons charged had acted charged, he said that if the evidence was to show in concert to commit the felony, if, for instance, one person ha stood outside the premises, whether to watch so as to prevent any interference or interruption from other parties whilst the robbery committing, then they would find a true bill against him who was stood outside as well as the one who actually took the property but if no such concert and acting together were proved, it would be their duty not to return a true bill. After cautioning the Grand Jury to weigh well the evidence against a person in the calendar charged with an abominable offence, before they brought in a true bill, and making which a few remarks on another case of misdemeanor- one in ten or twelve persons were charged with riot, but which he thought would turn out a nuisance, they having assembled together and attended a fight between two men and a fight between two dogs, on a Sunday Recorder said that a second Mr.
Court Hall. would And be ap- he wished to state that the Act of Parliament which gave him pointed, for the trial of prisoners, before to appoint a Deputy Recorder to preside over a second power Court only allowed of compensation being given for two days' service. Mr. Hall, however, never limited his labours if they required for more than two days, and it should be known were that for a gentleman of Mr. Hall's extensive practice, the sacrifice which he thus made was very considerable, and for which he (the Recorder) felt grateful, and he was sure the Borough of Leeds was indebted to him.
There were no further observations which occurred to him to make: the felonies were all of the common kind; and as it was necessary for the Court to proceed at once to business, he would thank the Grand Jury if they would, as soon as they had found a bill, return with it into Court. After the Grand Jury had retired in discharge of their duties, and the gentlemen of the bar had entered the Court and taken their seats, The Learned RECORDER said--I will take this opportunity, while the bar is assembled with no actual business before us, of explaining an alteration which I propose to make in the and practice at Sessions. In cases of appeal against orders of removal poorrates, Legislature has entrusted the Sessions with a discretion as to the costa. This discretion has hitherto been exercised, both here and in the West-Riding, and, as far as I can learn, at the great majority of Sessions throughout the country, by leaving each party to pay his own costs, except in cases where there are circ*mstances which are considered to create an exception to the ordinary rule. I have never been able to understand why this practice has prevailed, nor why, in cases of appeals, any demand more than in civil cases, the party who either resists a proper or attempts to enforce an improper one, should be enabled to put his opponent to expense.
I was, however, unwilling to take upon myself the responsibility of altering a practice which appears called to be nearly universal. But my attention has lately been to the subject, more particularly by some decisions of the Court of Queen's Bench, in which the learned Judges of that Court appear to take for granted, what indeed the first view of the common justice of the case would suggest, that the successful party in cases under the Poor Law will ordinarily be entitled to expect to have his costs paid by the opposing party. In consequence of this, I have considered myself warranted in reconsidering the question; and I have also consulted those whose opinions are entitied to the utmost deference. The result at which I have arrived is the all cases tried after the present Sessions, and not hitherto entered, I shall consider that the ordinary rule is, that the general costs of theappeal shall be paid by the losing party. I say the ordinary rule," because those cases are subject to a variety of incidents affecting the general merits in the dispute, which make it desirable that the Court should retain a large discretion.
Questions will often occur where it is not sufficient to decide as to the general costs. This I may perbaps best explain by an instance. Suppose the settlement set up by a respondent parish to be an apprenticeship, and that the grounds of appeal are first, that the examinations on the face of them shew no settlement; secondly, that there was in fact no apprenticeship; thirdly, that there has been a subsequent settlement in the respondent parish. Then, supposing the objection to the examinations to be held fatal, the question will arise, what is to be done as to the costs of preparing for disputing the other questions, which, in the case supposed, are questions of fact? It is, I fear, not possible to lay down a general rule which sball secure justice in all cases. But, on the whole, I think the best rule, in ordinary cases, is that the party succeeding shall, besides the general costs, have the costs only relating to the question which is decided for him.
If a question be decided against him, he must pay such costs as are incidental to that question only. The costs of questions not decided at all will generally remain under the present rule, each party paying his own. A question then suggests itself, whether a party, after one question has been decided which concludes the dispute, shall be entitled to have others decided, which, though not affecting the final result of the appeal, are important as to costs. At Nisi Prius this is the case; but I think that ordinarily it ought not to be so at Sessions. I have felt much doubt on this point of practice; on the whole, however, I have come to the conclusion that, in ordinary cases, a party who is not content to rely upon a good point, or who disputes a ground on which the decision is fatal to him, must be content to pay his own costs as to such questions as are thus rendered unimportant as to the general result.
It should also be understood that I ball consider the Court bound, if requested, to decide upon the order in which the questions raised shall be taken. This I mention lest a weak point should be raised in preference to a strong one, merely because the costs upon the weak point are more important. In general it will be found that the technical objections (analagous to demurrers in civil cases) are those which ought to be disposed of in the first instance. I cannot expect that these remarks, especially in a practice to be newly introduced, will anticipate all the questions which may be raised upon costs; for these we must rely upon the exercise of the discretion which is reserved to the Court. But I have really no doubt at all that, in altering the ordinary practice, I am executing the real intentions of the Legislature.

Mr. HaLL applied to the Court, on behalf of the Town Council, requesting that the Recorder would at his earliest convenience, confirm or otherwise the Bye-Laws for the government of hackney coaches in the borough, which had been laid before him. The RECORDER said that he had not yet had an opportunity of fully examining the Bye-Laws.
Mr. HALL only asked for the decision of the Court at its earliest convenience. understand the Recorder will publicly give his sanction to the bye- laws this day, APPEALS. As Saturday was the day appointed previous to the Sessions, for hearing appeals, none, beyond two or three motions of course were taken by the Court on Wednesday. THE CALENDAR.
The Courts were engaged on Wednesday, Thursday, and yesterday with the trials of prisoners, and up to the rising last night not more than two-thirds of the cases bad been got through. None of the trials possessed any public interest. The Recorder last evening announced, for the information of attorneys in appeal cases, that he should not take any such cases until the felonies were all disposed of, and that it was therefore probable that no appeals would be heard until Monday morning. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, LONDON, JULY 3. IN RE JOHN FLINTIFF.

We are obliged by want of space to postpone the letters of BETA' and A MILL OWNER" till next week. The remarks of a correspondent on the Court of the Honor of Pontefract, go rather to a condemnation of the entire principle of cheap courts for the recovery of small debts, than to the pointing out of means for correcting their evils. It is impossible that any law can compel a debtor to pay who has not the wherewithal; and he that goes to law to recover a debt of four shillings, (the case instanced by our correspondent', can hardly be surprised if he finds that he has thrown good money after bad, Nor would he have been in any better plight had he enjoyed the more expensive assistance of respectable attorney in the like suit.
The recent Thunder-storm, with ita terrific hall, so destructive of glass in the windows of dwelling-houses, to say nothing of the more wholesale smash of hot-houses and conservatories, has instigated some of our correspondents to inquire whether the loss thus incurred, in the destruction of glass panes, through a visitation of Providence, legally falls upon the Landlord or upon the Tenant. The question of course applies to cases where there is no special agreement between the parties applicable to such a contingency. It is laid down that a tenant is not to repair damages by tempest, lightning, or other natural casualty unless there is a special agreement to that effect between him and the landlord." -Term Reports, vol. 6, p. 650.
The glass of the windows is certainly the landlord's property. In an old volume, entitled Tenant's Law," published in the year 1741, speaking of Waste" by the tenant, it is stated if Glass- Windows be broken down or carried away, it is Waste, though the Tenant glazed them himself, fur the Glass is part of the House, but if a House fall by sudden tempest, or be burnt by Lightning, or destroyed by Enemies, or the like, without any Default of the Tenant, this is not Waste." The damage to windows by hailstones would, therefore, appear to be the Landlord's lose, in the absence of any special agreement to the contrary. But it may be a question, which we leave to the jurisperiti to determine, whether, in the case of windows furnished with external shutters, which could be easily and promptly closed so as to protect the glass from a sudden shower of hail, the tenant would not commit Waste" in neglecting to use so simple a means of preserving his landlord's property. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS. FORMATION OF A CHURCH INSTITUTION AT BRADFORD.
We called attention last week to the announcement that public moretine the Churchmen of Bradford had been convened the of that parish, to be held in a large room in the by Hall Inge in Bradford, with a view to the formation of a Church Institution." The meeting, which took place on Tuesday evening, at eight o'clock, was very numerously attended by Members of the Church. There were, moreover, a number of Dissenters, who, 88 such, did not come within the scope of the institution. The Rev. Dr. SCORESBY, the indefatigable Vicar of Bradford, called to the chair; a and he stated the object and purpose of was the meeting in a speech of great length, which the other will not allow us to report in detail.
demands on our space He commenced by alluding to the arduous duties, the to which he had difficulties, called, and the which heavy had arisen out his official posiand responsibilities been with his clerical brethren in the tion, and that he, they were then taking in said to their beloved that country. occasion was, to bring before them and explain the of a Church Institution.

The delicate part of his province it would be his aim to of pursue, as he wished every measure to be pursued, in the spirit that with gospel which he had been appointed to preach, and in accordance the leading principle of the institution they were about to establish-which was, not to attack their brethren who might conscientiously referred differ from them.
In speaking of Dissenters, therefore, he to those only who, not content with their own privileges and liberties, had taken part in the ungenerous attack to to deprive Churchmen of theirs; who, not satisfied with the effort promote religion on the principles which they thought best, had ungenerously endeavoured to hinder the Church in her endeavours for the glory of God. As to those truly pious Dis enters-and here he would wish distinctly to be understood-as to the truly pious Dissenters among his parishioners, there were many, he trusted and believed, who deprecated the acts and measures of their leaders against the church. Ministers as well as people there were who viewed with great anxiety and disapprobation the course pursued by those leaders, and the time would soon come, he carnestly hoped, when there would be a separation of those who were seeking spiritual benefits from those who only sought by contention the attainment of a party object. The present position of the Church was very peculiar. Time was, no doubt.
and that but a few years past, when the Church was much less efficient--the light in her candlestick but a few years back was so feeble that the observing Christian might well have feared, lest in the providence of God the light would be extinguished; at that period, when the Church was the most supine in operation, it was a most important fact to notice that though she then stood as a part of the British constitution, and though she stood in her faith, in her apostolic faith, her rights and privileges were she unquestioned, had her supremacy was generally acknowledged, become and strong and vigorous, great peace when her now institutiens had become very efficient, enemies had but that the Church had been raised up on every side, and the popular cry had been raised-" Raze her, raze her, even to the ground." In many parts of the land, indeed, the Church was at the present time strong, and her rights in many especially parts in of the the land be touched, but in others, and manuabundantly could not facturing districts in general, the war of places aggression all her had claims been carried on against her, and indeed in some were denied; and, by the force of combination, they were resisted; and when in Parliament any favour was to be shown to that Apostolic branch of the Catholic successfully proposed Church established in these realms, it was invariably opposed, and frequently with like successful result. Yet had to these submitted; manifestations of resistance the Church, as a body, she had borne, he might say, with exemplary patience, the rebukes and contumely and the violence heaped up against her, and had the loss of these temporalities only been concerned, the clergy might not have been led to make an effort for the Church, and the promotion of its interests, by means of the Church Institution, for they had ever shrunk, except when called on by a sense of peculiar duty, from coming in collision with those who conscientiously differed from them, though he had not failed to avail himself of every opportunity of meeting the Dissenters among his parishioners on common grounds, whenever he could do it without compromise of the principles of the Church, and of his rights as a parochial clergyman. God forbid that ever he should be one to widen that breach which existed among the population of the district, but he would say that he felt in duty bound on that occasion to stand up in defence of their Church and her ministers. His statement would be concerning the present position of the Church with regard to the manner in which she was uniformly opposed. As to the proceedings by which they had been met, whenever of late a church rate had been claimed by the churchwardens, he must make some allusion.
Deeply did he regret the bitterness of feeling and the hostility which had been connected with the effort to restore that source of revenue, for the repair and maintenance of the fabric, and the supply of those things necessary for the sacraments of the Church and her ordinances in this parish. But it was of the spirit and the manner in which the Churchwardens of the Church, and those who had accorded with them, had been dealt with, that he would speuk, as he believed that to be the just ground of complaint. He read some extracts from a lecture On the unscriptural character of all Ecclesiastical Imposts," published under the direction, and at the request of, the Bradford Voluntary Church Association, by the Rev. Jas. Acworth.
After concluding the extracts. which were received with disapprobation, and cries of "Shame, shame," the Chairman said that he quoted not these passages from any other motive, than in order to impress a suber conviction on the minds of the churchmen, that it was needful to be up and doing. He would prove to them, at least as far as dates and circ*mstances could, that that lecture and the bitterness, had its evident effect. The lecture was delivered and printed, about the latter end of the year 1841. Very shortly after its publication, he had received an anonymous letter by the post, which he was about to read, and though he cared but little for a threatening he feared not man in the discharge of his duty--yet he would show to them that something was due to the clergy, and that they ought to be supported and assisted.
He cared little and he thought littie, of what mere man might threaten. But there were characteristics in that letter, which if they did not fill their minds with horror, he should almost be ashamed of being a member of the church to which they belonged. The letter ran To Dr. Scoresby, on his attempting to lay a Church rate, at a time when the people have been so fully enlightened, as determined to know they have no right to pay it. No, Bir; if you are to have this rate, you may get it if you can or if you dare.
Remember, Sir, you are only a man. You may be in your grave before the rate be collected; the nights are dark, guns are is are determined (this latter clause was in large letters), not to be robbed by parsons any longer. If you dare to come yourself or to send a collector, -you may, perhaps, when expecting to receive a shilling, receive a bullet; and your head be the receiver, instead of your pocket. Think of the curse in the book of Isaiah, against those who oppress the people. But may be, you do not believe that part of Scripture.
Be that as it may, you may believe that the only way for you to save your life, is to be quiet about the rate. If you do not bear your own expenses, you will surely be damned to all eternity. it Look at St. Paul, he was chargeable to no man. Perquisites is you labour for; not the redemption of the soul.
But God will judge you. You preach temperance in the pulpit, and practice intemperance in the vestry, by drinking the wine for the sacrament, and you want to make others pay for it Scoresby here observed that he could say, with a clear cunscience, that he never tasted in the vestry since he came into this parish any of the wine provided for the But it will not do, we will sooner take you and burn your bloody old church to He did not dare to read the rest, but he might state that it was threatened that if he went on with the rate be should not live six months from that time. He believed that the man who could write that letter would have had no more scruple in doing the act, except from the fear of his personal safety, than he had in writing it. No spirit of a man who dared to write such a letter but must have been possessed with that satanic influence by which he would be led to venture on such an act. In Ireland it was a very common occurrence, first the threatening letter, then the deedthe one thing following the other in interminable succession.
He thus gave proof of the point he stated as to the kind of spirit in which the Church had been opposed. He would observe that this treatment he did not charge on the Dissenters as a body, nor did he mean to charge on the person who delivered that lecture any intention to excite such a feeling as that in the letter, but he was bound to believe that the letter sprung out of the lecture. As to the Dissenters, as a body, he believed very many would abhor such a letter as that. With reference to the attacks on their principles and the liturgy of the Church, Dr. Scoresby read from a paper, understood to be a Dissenting organ, some strong opinions on the Church Catechism, a portion of a speech made by a Wesleyan Minister, in which he denied abstractedly the right of Queen Victoria to govern him any more than he had to govern her, and other quotations of a similar character, and then adverted to the speech of the Rev.
G. B. Macdonald, which he urged as an illustration of a position he took, that the object of a religious body, hitherto professed friends, was to arrest the progreas of the Church and prevent people from joining her. This case be selected as an example, not merely of injustice to himself personally, but of injury designed to the Church by the gratuitous attack of a Wesleyan minister, at a meeting held professedly for the promotion of Christian missions. Now how or in what way could such a subject be attached to a meeting of that kind Was it that he, in his pulpit, had attacked the Wesleyans? He appealed to his congregation, who for four years had attended his ministry, whether at any time he had ever made use of the pulpit to denounce or attack the Wesleyan or any other religious body.
On what ground then of justice was the present personal attack made on him by Mr. Macdonald? Was it that he had done him some personal injury, publicly spoken of him, or privately slandered him. He appealed to the man himself whether it was 50, The ground of his attack was no matter of doubt or of speculation. Mr. Macdonald had terized as a suppression of truth, calculated to convey a false impression because the advertisem*nt did not also state what the Wesleyans had done.
He should like to ask that gentleman on his conscience, whether on every application he made to Wesleyans on behalf of their chapels, he told them honourably and broadly what the Church had done. But the attack did not stop there; it was carried out by a misrepresentation of facts, by a misapplication of the plain sense and language of the advertisem*nt, by taking advantage of a misprint, and then founding on this perversion of truth, a series of bitter and sarcastic observations. And this speech was listened to, it was said by 1500 people, in a Wesleyan meeting house in Bradford, at a meeting convened for the advancement of the cause of God's kingdom in heathen lands, and it was the principal speech made on that occasion. After commenting on the spirit which could dictate such a speech, and on the fact that in all that large assembly no one that he was aware of stood forth to protest against such a gross attack upon the Church; he warned pious Wesleyans to take heed lest their souls got leanness when sitting under the withering influence of such preachers, and all true Churchmen that they did not, by their neglect, leave the Church in such a state as to become the prey of destroyers. He had thus shewn them the manner in which the Church had been ungenerously attacked, and now he had to found on this their duty as Churchmen.
He did not wish it to be supposed that all Dissenters or Dissenting ministers approved of these things, on the other hand, it was but justice to say, that there were Dissenting ministers in this parish respecting whom he had the most kindly feeling, and who had always treated him with consideration and respect. Hitherto the Church had rested in her own integrity, and in the belief that no exertion was necessary, But in times of danger quiet repose might be blamablo; apathy and self-security might be destructive to the Church in her public capacity as connection with the state. As to her spiritual Jesus position, she was founded on the apostles and prophets, Christ himself being the chief corner stone; and, therefore, whatever might happen with regard to her connectien with the state, she would still be part of the Holy Catholic Church. The present crusade was against Church and State; this was specifically stated by the speakers in the paper from which he had quoted, that they never would be satisfied until Church and State were separated. This was the grand question at present in Ireland -the destruction they of the trust Episcopal Church, He pointed out that though might to Jehovah for support, still they must adopt such measures as appeared likely to result in the consummation of their hopes.
Organization was necessary; a vast body of undisciplined men might easily be routed by a few disciplined troops. Union was strength, especially in a right cause, and the blessing of Heaven would accompany united efforts. There was no valid objection to their uniting. He believed they were just adopting the system pursued by the Dissenters, and in proof he quoted one of the rules of the Bradford Voluntary Church Association." He proceeded to enlarge upon the duty of members of the Church, asserting that this was not an aggressive but a defensive movement, founded upon principles such that no one could object to it. John Rand, the Rev.
Joshua Fawcett, the Rev. James Cooper, and the Rev. W. Sberwood, and the Rev. J.
C. Boddington severally addressed the meeting. It was resolved to establish a Church and some rules for its government were adopted. The meeting did not terminate till near eleven o'clook. The Commissioners for executing the 1 Bradford Improvement Act have set an example of energy the advanin abatement of the Smoke Nuisance which may be imitated with tage by the Town notice to all the mill occupiers and Council of this Borough.
Having some months ago given of Acts proabate prietors the of steam nuisance arising from their furnaces, the Bradford engines within the limits their Commissioners have resolved to summon before the magistrates all who have neglected the warning. Accordingly summonses were last week taken out for seven individuals to attend before the Sitting Magistrates on Wednesday answer for their default. The first case called on that of Mr. Joseph Freeman, of Thornton Road who was charged with a misdemeanour under the Improvement Act, in having neglected to consume the smoke of his steam engine furnace, after notice, so to do. The Magistrates on the Bench were Col.
Tempest, Thos. Paley, H. W. Wickham, L. W.
Wickham, and J. G. Horsfall, Esq. Mr. John Hope Shaw, solicitor of Leeds, appeared support of the information and Mr.
Wagstaff, solicitor, for the defendant. Mr. SHAw opened the business by reading the clauses the act under which the proceedings had been taken. Adverting to the number of cases to be adjudicated upon, lie said that in this case the Magistrates would not have to ascertain, 88 they might, perhaps, in the others, consume whether the party had done enough, or all he could do, to the smoke; for he was told that Mr. Freeman had done nothing for that purpose.
The nuisance was still continued, notwithstanding he had been repeatedly cautioned. Mr. Collinson, the Commissioners' Surveyor, proved that on the 13th of December last, a notice was served on Mr. Freemun, requiring him to take measures for consuming his smoke, He and warning him of the consequence of his refusal to do so. also that, on Thursday, the 29th June, no steps bad been taken by the defendant to consume his smoke and prevent the nuisance proved therefrom.
The witness was cross-examined with a view to show that the defendant had recently so constructed his fire-place as, by letting in cold air at the top of the furnace, effectually to consume the smoke; but the witress stated that he could perceive no such alteration. Mr. Alexander Steal (a person employed by the Commissioners, for the purpose of inspecting smoke-burners), said that Mr. Freeman had nothing but a common fire-place; as his chimney WAS constructed, it did not consume the smoke. In cross-examination, the witness stated there were different plans for consuming smoke besides Mr.
form Billingsley's. of Mr. Freeman had his fire-place constructed in the a bridge, but this plan, though it might consume a part of the smoke, would not answer the end required; he thought Mr. Billingsley's plan might be adopted by Mr. Freeman with advantage.
Bradford Moor, Mr. Billingsley, worsted spinner, of deposed that he had invented a plan for constructing fire-places 60 as to smoke, and explained the principle of his invention. It three since he invented the plan; and, as far prevent any was years as he knew, it was no infringement of any patent; by adopting his invention, a saving of 20 per cent. in the consumption of of fuel would be effected; for a 20-horse engine, the expense erecting his plan would be about £15. Mr.
WAGSTAFF cross-examined Mr. Billingsley, in order to show that Mr. Rodda had given notice of his intention to prosecute any party using the witness's plan, as be alleged it was an infringement upon his (Mr. Rodda's) patent; and also that it was a mere matter of opinion whether one plan for consuming smoke was better than another, there being various opinions as to which was the best. Mr.
Joseph Smith, one of the Commissioners, stated that, two months ago, he examined Mr. Freeman's chimney, desired him to adopt some plan for the consumption of his smoke, and recommended Mr. Billingsley's invention, as it was the best he knew of; he had examined Mr. Rodda's patent, and he waa certain Mr. Billingaley's was no infringement of it.
Mr. WAGSTAFF then addressed the Bench on behalf of the Defendant. He called Mr. Blackturn, dyer, of Thornton Road, to show that by the construction of a bridge in the fire place, the smoke might be effectually consumed, without resorting to any plan like that of Mr. Billingsley's.
Mr. SAw replied. The Magistrates consulted, and Col. TEMPEST said that they were of opinion that the case had been proved, namely, that the Defendant had failed to take proper steps to consume the smoke; and, therefore, they were disposed to inflict a nominal fine of £1 per week. Mr.
SHAw asked that this fine might be inflicted for only one week, as the case was not brought to gratify any vindictive or harsh feeling, but merely to enforce the law. The fine was decreed in accordance with Mr. Shaw's request; and, on his application, the other six cases of a similar nature were adjourned for a month, in order to give the parties an opportunity of complying with the Act of Parliament. MUSICAL SOIREE AND TESTIMONIAL TO MR. HILL.
ABATEMENT OF THE SMOKE NUISANCE. On Thursday last, a very delightful musical meeting took place in the Ripon Diocesan School, Leeds, when nearly 500 young persons of both sexes, the pupils of Mr. Hill, teacher of singing, and late Choir Master at the Parish Church, met together for the double purpose of holding a musical soiree, and presenting a testimonial to their preceptor. After tea, a complete concert of vocal music followed, which kept the assembly together till eleven o'clock, and the way in which the various pieces were executed by the large concourse of pupils assembled afforded cogent proof of the success of Mr. Hill, as a teacher, and the efficiency of the method be adopts in his classes.
Some of the pieces were sung with a correctness of time and tune, that, considering the great number of voices engaged and those of persons who have not been for any great length of time under tuition, was really astonishing. Besides the songs, solfeggios, sung by Mr. Hill's pupils, a series of glees and melodies were ably sung by Master Hill, and Messrs. Harper, Smith, Carr, Moore, Richardson, and Williamson. The songs of "The Labourer's Sleep," and the "Spinning Wheel," in the first part of the Concert were especially deserving of notice as sung by the classes.
The glees of Weel may the Boatie row," Blow gentle and Beauties, have you seen, "were charmingly sung by the other performers. A number of the musical amateurs of the town were present, and took a lively interest in the proceedings. Between the two parts of the entertainment, a richly-chased silver tea-pot, cream-jug, and sugar-basin, and splendid papier mache tray, which had been subscribed for by the pupils and supplied by Mr. Hirst, jeweller, Briggate, were presented to Mr. Hill, as a mark of the esteem felt for him by those whom he has had under his instruction.
The fuscription on the tea-pot was as Presented to Mr. James Hill, by the Members of his Singing Classes, in Leeds, July 6th, 1843, as a testimonial of his kind, assiduous, and gentlemanly conduct, and a token of the respect they entertain for him as a Teacher of Vocal Music." Mr. J. N. BRIGG, on behalf of the subscribers, presented the testimonial to Mr.
Hill. In doing so, he spoke as follows: Ladies and -It is with a deep sense of incompetency for the duty which has been imposed upon me by my friends that I rise to perform so important a part in the proceedings of this evening; because I am conscious, that neither vocal power nor musical ability entitle me to the respect which has been accorded tome, and to execute a solo, grazioso, is much more difficult than simply to join in a concerto. I should like to commence my task forzando, because the tone of feeling in a meeting like this should be both well pitched and well sustained. Each passage should be effective, every movement con gusto con brio. It is scarcely necessary to say that my own feelings are in strict accordance with the object, it is my province peculiarly to promote, and I believe, that bene placito may be read on the countenances, as it characterizes the emotions of the entire audience.
(applause.) And, however unmusical or discordant may have been our voices when our esteemed preceptor undertook to attune them, no tuneless voice can now be found, no discordant note will disturb the uniform harmony of this occasion. There is a propensity among unpractised vocalists to sink into a flatter note; I do not think that tendency will be observable here; pleasure vibrates spontaneously in every heart; there is a chord in every bosom which already gives forth its murmuring, and indicates how nicely and perfectly it is strung, so that I entertain DO fear of due attention being being 'paid to the sostenuto, and the spiritoso of the evening's proceedings. (Applause.) Mr. Hill, I stand here, Sir, as the representative of the members of your singing classes, many of whom have completed the course of instruction, to express to you the high esteem in which we regard you, both as a performer and teacher of vocal music; and the very strong feeling of gratitude and respect we entertain towards you for the gentlemanly, kind, and assiduous manner in which you have conducted our instructions, giving an additional charm to an exercise which is sufficiently interesting in itself to secure the devotion of the student, but rendered doubly so by the uniform urbanity and courtesy of your manners. Nor should we omit to notice the evidence you bave given of your anxiety to promote the harmony of our mutual relation, as well as the harmony of our voices.
Of this the amply provisioned tables we have witnessed on this and on a former occasion are a sufficient demonstration, as well as an indication of the generosity of your disposition. Permit me, therefore, in the name of the numerous pupils around me to request your acceptance of a tray and silver tea service now before me, as a token of those sentiments of high esteem with which we regard you, and a testimonial of your musical talent, unwearied assiduity, and gentlemanly deportment. And in connection with the particular duty thus devolved upon me, allow me to express a wish, in which I am sure I am joined by all present, and which originates in the full diapason of the heart. May the tenor of your life be in harmony with the will of the Supreme; in nothing may you run counter to your best interests, may the crescendo distinguish your reputation, the rigoroso your efforts; the gustoso your performances, and the moderalo your desires. As you have uniformly discarded, so may always contemn the capricioso and the pomposo; may you satisfactorily execute all the difficult passages in the cantala of life; and when you approach the finale of your part may your diminuendo ralTentando be succieded by the Hallelujah Chorus" of the skies.
(Loud applause.) Mr. HILL, evidently labouring under deep emotions, rose to return thanks. He was received with loud cheers. After they had subsided, he said -Ladies and Gentlemen, members of my classes in Leeds, and I am proud to say pupils, in endeavouring to return you my sincere thanks for this your beautiful, costly presentation, words would fail to give expression to my feelings. Indeed, I am at a loss to know what I have done to merit so much of your esteem.
I am at a loss to know what I have done more than my duty in conducting the classes which I now see around me. Doing more than my duty! did I say? Why, I feel I have not done even that. If I had fully satisfied my desires-if I had accomplished what I had at heart, I should have been more than repaid for my services and attention by the expression of your feelings presented to me in so kind a manner. (Applause.) My anxiety for your success, my humble exertions that you might attain a full knowledge of that delightful science, vocal musicmy anxiety, I say, was far, far beyond what I can now express; for my desire was that you should succeed, if I could possibly make you, to perfection in vocal science. (Cheers.) If I had even accomplished that, my deserts would have fallen far short of a token like this which you have presented to me.
(Applause.) I am fully aware of your kindness and attention to my instructions whenever you have been before me. It has been my wish to extend, if possible, the desire for vocal music in this town. It has not, I can assure you, and I say it with regret, come near my expectations yet-(hear, hear) for we are but in our infancy yet as to class singing. (Appiause.) Yet, when I look back but a few months, when I first commenced, I feel pride and pleasure at the progress we have made. At my first meeting I could only get twenty-two persons together out of the large population of Leeds; and whilst I see hundreds before me now, I trust that before many months roll over there will be thousands engaged in learning and practising class-singing.
(Loud applause.) I am fully aware of the softening effects of music on morals and manners and of its influence on society generally. I advocate the extension of vocnl knowledge, being perfectly assured that as an innocent amusem*nt nothing can be found superior to it; for as a moralizing agent it is admitted by all who have given attention to its effects on the human character. (Hear, hear.) I look forward to an extensive practice, and I hope your presence will bear me out in the anxiety which I have manifested in teaching the classes, and that some of you will enable me in future life to accomplish the objects I have in view with regard to vocal music. It is my intention to extend my labours to my more humble brethren of the town. I have found it extremely difficult to get them to come to me: I have often invited them, but I have been disappointed of their attendance.
I am therefore now going to them. (Hear, bear.) On Saturday night lastand I trust you will not think what I am going to say out of place (Cries of No, no, ")-I had the pleasure and satisfaction of appearing before the animated and lively countenances of 80 assembly of the working classes; for I first struck the chord of a piano in a mill in this town; and I hope to be the means of weaning the working classes from those vicious pleasures which we know are too much indulged in. (Applause.) I will not further trespass upon your time, but in a few words thank you for the flattering compliment you have this evening paid me; I shall look with extreme pleasure to this evening's meeting, and I trust that when my eyes fall upon this pleasing presentation, it may add still further a stimulus to my exertions to extend a knowledge of vocal music. (Applause.) Allow me, in conclusion, to express a sincere wish that as long as we walk this varied path of life, may our hearts be found in unison with each other, and better prepare ourselves to join in the harmonious chorus of Heaven, where I trust we shall all meet. (Loud and long continued applause.) of John Thompson, Ripon, of Births.

MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY have had very little business to-day. South Eastern Scrip 248; Manchester and Birmingham 228 Midland Counties (quarters) Manchester and Leeds 79 South Western 644 Edinburgh and Glasgow 494 50. DONCASTER CATTLE MARKET, JULY had plenty of Beasts, Sheeps, and Pigs, to thisiday's market, the sale for which was very bad. ROTHERHAM CATTLE MARKET, JULY had a very large show of both Beef and Mutton of an excellent quality. The attendance of buyers not numerous, which caused a very dull sale, and a number of both Beasts and Sheep were turned out unsold.
Prices, both in Beef and Mutton, were lower than last week. Beef 6a 0d to 66 6d per Mutton 4d to -d per lb. Cattle 325; Sheep 6100. MORPETH CATTLE MARKET, JULY our market this week, we had an immense number of Lambs, with a fair supply of Sheep; fat Bensts were also in attendance. Mutton averaged from 44d to 41d, a few first-rate lots obtained 5d per Lamb did not exceed Mutton's price, and Beef was rather more in demand at our former quotations.
Beef 5a 3d to 58 6d Mutton 48 9d to 58 10d; Lamb 5s 6d to 68 0d per st. STAGSHAW BANK FAIR, JULY annual fair WAS held to-day, but the number of visitors was not numerous. On the whole, the fair was very dull, particularly for kyloes. Any: thing in a forward condition was quickly sold. The show horses was very bad, and the trade dull.
The same may be said of cows: the show was small, and the prices low. There was a better market for sheep than was expected. There was a small show of pigs, which met a ready sale at an advance in price. HOP -MAIDSTONE-Our accounts almost all represent the state of the plantations as somewhat checkered growing and vigorous, but greatly encumbered with vermin, the abundance of which must, it would seem, materially interfere with the crops.

-The hops here are not in so healthy a state as we have seen them; the vermin increases, the smaller leaves being covered with lice. bine in this parish is looking very well, excepting some pieces where the bine is short. Should the weather be favourable, we may expect a tolerable crop; if it should not, the late honey dews upon them will turn them black. EAST hopbine is going on badly, lots of lice and honey, and, unless an alteration soon takes place, a blight must follow. LAMBERHURST.

TRADE OF -There was a very brisk demand for manufactured goods in the Cloth Halls here on Saturday, princiof the finer qualities -Wool dyed blacks, dark greens, and pally blues; indeed such has been the recent improvement in the demand for this description of goods that a merchant of some experience lately assured us that more fine cloths had been sold within the last six months, than had been sold during the preceding two years.
Other kinds of goods were also in fair request on Saturday. On Tuesday there was a fair business done; but, as usual, not equal to the sales on Saturday. Many of the Clothiers are now busy getting in their hay. BRADFORD had a numerous attendance of Merchants here on Thursday, and the demand for manufactured goods was fully sustained. Fancy Stuffs of nearly all descriptions were fin request, 88 well 88 Full Twills, and Orleans and Paramatta Cloths.
As the stocks on hand were small, the prices were firm, without any material advance. The Yarn market was active, both for shipment and for Home Consumption, and rather better prices were obtained. Nearly all the mills are working full time, and generally to order. There was a steady demand for Wool, at former rates, with a much better assortment in the hands of the staplers. HUDDERSFIELD have no material change to note in the demand for goods here on Tuesday; but owing to the absence of many of the manufacturers in their hay fields there was not quite so good an assortment of fancy goods as could have been desired, and, perhaps, not quite so much business done in consequence.
HALIFAX was a good business done here again on Saturday, at previous rates, both in pieces and yaras, especially of the finer sorts. There was a large supply of Wool at market, and the superior qualities were in fair request. WAKEFIELD WOOL have no alteration in any branch of the Wool market this week few sales are passing and prices are the same. YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY we have had a decreased supply of Wool upon our last week's report, from 350 to 400 sheets or about 650 packs of 240 lb. per pack, of a superior quality, perhaps the best sample shewn this year.
Upon the whole the trade has ruled dull, yet most of the lots shewn have been cleared, but at prices no ways improved, if anything lower. Prime parcels, 11s to 6d; inferior 10s Gd to I1s; Locks and Cots, 6s to 8s 6d per stone of 14lb. DONCASTER WOOL MARKET. JULY had again a very good show of Wool, and the average number of buyers at the market. Sales proceeded slowly in the early part of the day, but eventually, with the exception of one or two lots.
the whole was disposed of at last week's prices. Super clips, 12s 00 to 12, 30; average, 10s 3d to 11s 6d inferior 10s; Locks and Cots Gs to 9s. WOOL FAIRS. reports of several Wool Fairs, held last week, will be found in our third page. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.
The demand for Annels still continues good, and a very fair quantity of business has been transacted at rather low prices. The wool market has been more than usually flat, and the manufacturers seem not a little puzzled how to act in the face of a new clip, and the decline of prices in the late London sales. was a moderate demand for goods yesterday but the commercial advices by the overland mail being generally considered rather favourable, there was not quite so much eagerness to sell on the part of the manufacturers, as on the previous Tuesday, and the market presented, on the whole, a rather firmer appearance than for some days past. The yarn market continues depressed, and, notwithstanding a fair demand for Russia, and some inquiry for India and China, rather lower prices in some cases have been Wednesday. LEICESTER HOSIERY important improvements have taken place in the Leicester trade this week; the worsted spinning mills have for some time past been doing a fair amountfof business, but owing to various applications of machinery, but few of the wool-combers have been employed.
This week, however, a great many have been set on, and it issaid, that nearly all who apply will be engaged. The glove branch is better, and next week it is considered, now the dispute as to wages has subsided, the hands will generally be -Nottingham Journal. HOSIERY AND LACE turn-out of the plain silk hose hands against the "double dealing, double price house" (as the workmen term it) still continues, and that, too, with feverish symptoms. The drawer and pantaloon branch is in a lamentable state, several of the principal houses having given out scarcely any material this week. The silk glove branch is in a depressed state, the hands only partially employed, and that for the sake of the frame rent.
The cotton, generally termed thread, glove branch, is in a much better state than the silk branch, the hands having in general full employment. The full-wrought cotton-hose branches are about in the same state as last weekthat is, rather declining; in some districts the hands suffering from continued nibbling peculation. The cotton cut-up hose branch is tolerably brisk after the late long turn-out and we have heard that one of the principal houses finds it difficult to complete their shipping orders in time. The bobbin-net trade in some of the fancy branches is rather dull, though nets can be disposed of nearly to the quantity produced. -Nottingham Journal.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY The sales since Friday amount to 20,000 bags, of which 5000 are sold to-day. The market is dull, and some further abatement is made in prices.
