(anmere misname.) PRUSSIA AND FEDERAL REFORM. BERLIN, BiPT. 23. The Norddeutsehe Zeitung of this evening pub lishes the text of the report of the ministry to the King upon the question of federal reform. The same paper is informed that an Education Bill is being prepared for presentation to the Chamber. The New Preussische (Kreus) Zeitung of to-day publishes the reply of the King to the princes and burgomasters of the German Free Towns who oom municated to his Majesty the resolutions of the congress of sovereigns. The propositions of Austria and her allies are rejected, and the conditions stated upon which the King desires to establish federal reform. These consist in parity of Austria and Prussia in all federal concerns, equal right of veto of both the great powers, and a different organisa tion in the representation of the country at the Federal Assembly to that proposed by Austria. BERLIN, Barr. Z 3, Emma. The following are the main features of the minis terial report of the 16th inst. to the King upon the question of Federal reform. The report commences with a complaint that the Austrian reform project was imperfectly communi cated to the King, and after the date of the invita tion to the other sovereigns. Herr von Bismark is opposed to any declaration of war so long as Federal territory should not be assailed. The report advocates the thorough equality of Austria and Prussia in the directorate, direct elec tion of the popular delegates, and more extended powers for the national representatives. The ministry propose that the King shall decline assent to the Austrian plan, and enter into negotia tions with his Federal allies upon the points indi cated above, convoking a conference of ministers of the different German States to agree upon an other scheme of Federal reform. This scheme shall thea be submitted either to elected repre sentatives of the nation, or laid before the diets of the different German States. POLAND. CRACOW, Sap,. 23.

The military manoeuvres which took place to-day at Gallarate lasted three hours. The conoonne of spectators was very large. His Majesty was accompanied by the royal princes, numerous offioers of the staff, and several foreign officers, and was received with great enthusiasm. Public Vitae are now being held in Milan. AIX-LES-BAINS. (mom • COILIZSPONDINI AIX L BMWS, SAVOIE. Barr. 21. This charming place has been pretty nearly de serted by its visitors for the last mouth, and yet at no season of the year can it be more attractive than in September. The fearful heats of summer depart suddenly at the end of August, and leave in their stead the most delightful bright and fresh atmosphere imaginable. The whole country is at this moment one great vineyard, hung with purple clusters, lining every hedgerow and falling from every tree, while between them glimpses of the lovely lake and mountains break through as if in the fantastic scenes of • " Midsummer Night's Dream." Nor is it only the eye which is flattered in Savoy. Such rich and luscious fruit I have never eaten, save from first-rate gardens in Eng land ; the prim of it is fabnloualy cheap. Stopping at a little roadside " auberge," where the usual inscription, " Loge h pied," announced the bumble ambition of the pro prietor, we obtained as many peaches and figs as • party of three could conscientiously devour, and on tendering the handsome remuneration of half-afrano (5d.) we received 20 centimes (2d.) in change. The usual prices in the little market place are, for large peaches, 4d. a dozen ; black figs of peculiarly fine flavour, lipd. a dozen ; and excellent Peal:*, grapes, walnuta, and greengages are to be had at similarly low cost. Driving down the roads, one sees the children shaking down the walnuts by thousands into baskets held by women below, oxen drawing carts of apples, and everywhere before the doors of the pretty cottages, preparations of new and clean casks for gathering the grapes next week. It is • land of overflowing plenty, and of such rich ness and beauty as cannot elsewhere be easily paralleled. Why the English travellers who crowd every other watering place in France and Germany do not visit this delicious spot is a mystery.. In the full season it overflows perhaps a little too much with French and Italians, and the prices at the hotels are high and the heat excessive. But as soon as the " grands chaleurs" have passed there is plenty of excellent accommodation and the country , only grows in loveliness every day. Yet of the 7,653 visitors who have this year come to Aix, it does not appear by the list of names that more than ten per cent. were English. As to the waters, they are certainly wonderfully efficacious, as I can testify by experience. Of course it is only for certain classes of diseases they have a beneficial power. Of these, rheumatic and neuralgic affections and surgical cases seem the most successful. According to a clever analysis drawn up by the excellent Dr. Davat, maire of the town, and one of the physicians of the bath establishment ; there were in 1854 1,556 cases which came under his inspection as treated by either the douches, the baths, or the inhalation room. Out of these 4566, 436 were perfectly cured, 880 much advanced in recovery, and only 223 left unaided. The arrange ments of the public establishment for these various modes of treatment are made with very charitable intentions. There is • hospital attached, containing 140 men and 40 women, from all parts of France, and tickets are given to respectable persons of poor means (les pasties honteux), enabling them to receive all the benefits of the waters and cares of the attendants absolutely gratis. For others, the prise for being taken to the bath hou se i n a cliaise . parent's, bathed and douched therein sad brought home again, is 3f. These chaise-h-pOrteurs are most ludicrous machines, covered over like a Venetian gondola, the figure of the patient, well wrapt up therein, appearing vaguely to the spec , Wore. As to the scenes in the various ,Malls des Douches and Piscina, whosoever has visited such places will not need to have them recalled in all their supreme absurdity. It is decidedly a co:mo t/Ai= when one is oneself sick and help le ss to see a few others in the same condition, all inspired by the hope of speedy recovery.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEM BER 24, 1863. Those patients who desire similar entertainment cannot fail to find it at Aix in watching the poor porters carrying their fat fellow-sufferers in the bayards to the baths, and (should they wish to refresh themselves afterwards) partaking of a ddjeuner in the pretty boacjuet of the Hotel des Princes, with the grand chain of the Dent du Chat stretched before them, and a vineyard richer far (as the writer can testify) than that of Fmool at their feet. THE REGISTRATION 4 ILIDDLASICI. Yesterday Mr. Edmond Beaks, the barrister ap porated to revise the lists of voters for knights of the shire for the count of likldlesex, held his farads court for that purpose at Jack Straw's Cutle, Hampstead-Beath. The parishes included in the polling district of Hain= heath are three only, Hampstead, Hornsey, and W . It may not be out of platra to remark that not • little incon venience was felt on this occasion in someone's°, of • de parture by the clerk of the peace from the received phieseology in describing the locality of the revising bar rister's court. That which has beyond the memory of the oldest inhabitant been known se "Jack Straw's Out* Hampstead-hestb," and always aesociated is the minds of visiton and inhabitants with a recollection of one of the most beautiful spots in En lad, is this year designated for the first time with the ambiguous and certainly not more euphonious appellation of " (Nude Hotel, Hampstead-hill." Whether this new description meant the old at the new site was the subject of extensive googlies. ing among those whose badness' or inclination called them to the revision court. One who removed his neighbour's landmark was the subject of malediction under an ancient code ; and oue who by • now nomenclature creates a doubt with regard to an old and honoured locality seems, for • similar reason, to be not undeserving of censure. The banister holds aeowt this morning at the Black Dog, Bailout, for the revision of the bate for the several parishes in the Bedfont polling district. Suocanco Aeoiumcr To A Soucrroa.—On Tues day night, between seven and eight o'clock, se Mr. Beery Danielle, solicitor, of Nayland, was driving in • new four wheel chaise up North-hill, Colchester ? when opposite Mr. Watson's coach manufactory his vehicle came in collision with a donkey cart containing • basket of earthenware. The rattling noise frightened Mr. Daniels' horse, which bolted, and threw Mr. Daniels to the ground upon his head. He waa taken up in a state of imam laility and carried to the Marquis of Granby Inn, slope b , where leaversl medical men being promptly in it was discovered the unfortunate gentleman had sustained concusion of the bran. For sours time the wont fears were entertained of the result ; but the symp tom have gradually assumed • more favourable character, and although still only partially restored to CODICIAIDIES, and unable to be removed, hopes axe now entertained of his recovery. A rumour which got abroad that Mr. Danielle either lost or was robbed of some money and papers at the time of the occurrence is altogether without foundation. Mr. Daniels, who has only lately come into possession of 10,0001. by the death of Mr. Stammers, of Nayland, has been sankmaly attended by his brother, who is • surgeon at Natant/.—Zs= Herald. LITE SAVED BY CRINOLINT.—SOnIe of our con temporaries are so fond of beading paragraph@ with the words "Another victim to crinoline," that we venture to offer a variety, and to tell them that if crinoline has pro- ' rooted fatal accidents by fire it hoe averted death by water. A few days ago a poor woman was seen to throw herself into one of the dams at Crookesmoor. Fortunately, though her clothes were ragged, she was fashionable enough to wear crinoline, and as she entered the water feet foremost, the crinoline prevented her from sinking more than up to the neck, and kept her head above water. The cold water seems quickly to have changed her mind, for instead of try ing to overcome the impediment to her sinking, she b ega n to scream loudly for a 4 and other women who bad seen her go into the water screamed also. Their cries brought out the man in charge of the dams resident at the lodge, and as quickly as possible he procured a bar of wood tied to a rope, which be threw to the woman, and she grasping it, was drawn to the shore. Some minutes elapsed, however, before this could be done, and the delay would no doubt have been fatal but for the life-preserving buoyancy of the crinoline. The peer woman when extricated could not be induoedi to say who she was or why she had committed the rash act, but she was conveyed to • place of gaiety.— Slisrteld Independent. Two PILOTS DROWNED AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE 1111181 Y.—A roelaosholy boat mideat occurred on Tuesday morning, at the entrance to the Mersey. It ragilthat pilot boat No. 9 was rotundas to as port, and when outside the North-west Light ship, she was signalled by the steamer Lotus, outward to Hardison, the captain of the Lotus being desirous of landing his pilot. The signal was responded to by the pilot boat, sad • punt was lowered, and manned by five pilots of Na 9, who at coos pulled towards the Lotus, and prepared to take on board the steamer's pilot. At the time it was blowing a stiff gala, sod no apprehensioa woe felt for the boat's crew, but just as she was rounding-to a lance wave suddenly caught the boat ea the quarter and capsised her. The five men were thrown into the water, aiid all were in imminent danger of perishing, but the crew of the Lotus seeing the accident threw pieces of wood, oars, and other articles of wood overboard, which were seized hold of by the immersed pilots, three of whom managed to = the timber until the quarter-beat of the steamer them, when they were rescued :the two other pilots, how ever, named Lee and Scott, were unfortunately drowned. Two CHILDREN MURDERED BY THEIR FATHER.— Os Tuesday evening, between seven and eight o'clock, • fearful tragedy, which created much horror in the town, occurred at Wait Bromwich. It seems that • man, named Benjamin Holden, a blacksmith, employed at the Albion Works, relocated his wife to proceed to his father's house to fetch some potatoes. The woman, observing that be looked rather wild, maid she wished to take her two chil. duo—one aged four year, and the other eighteen months with her, but th e hus band objected. Shortly after her inning the house the neighbours ware alarmed by hear. the children screaming, and on an entrance being acted, a led and sickening spectacle presented itself. The children were discovered with their heads nearly severed from their bodies, and quite dead. What renders the event still more melancholy is the fact that the murderer is a highly respectable mechanic, lived on affectionate terms with his wife and children, and was remarkably abstemious. The only possible cause which can be askewd for thedreed ful act is that he was seised with • sudden paroxysm of madness. The police were called in, and the unfortunate man, who oonducted himself quietly, and offered no violence or resiataiioe, was given into their custody. The fearful deed was perpetrated with a carving knife, which was picked up in the room covered with blood. The affair has occasioned a very painful sensation in consequence of the excellent character of the man.—Bireuspham Pot. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT GREENOCK QUAY.—We learn by telegram from our Greenock correspondent that an accident, attended with a fatal result to one person and by which the lives of five others were jeoparduW, occurred at the quay on Tuesday night. The steamer Thistle, which left Glasgow for Londonderry last night shortly after five, arrived at Greenock before eight o'clock, and there received peamagers for Londonderry who had come from Glasgow train. A gangway was placed from the quay to the nen and a number of passengers were in the act of going tomer into the steamer when the gangway fell, and six of those who Were on it at the time thrown into the water. A dread ful scene of confusion and dainty ensued, in the midst of which, however, some of the spectators who preserved their coolness and presence of mind, s ucc eeded in rescuing five of those who were struggling iu the water. A woman named Mn. Dochert7, residing in the Vennel, gook before soy help could be given her, and when the body was re covered life was gone. Correctdetails of bow this lamentable accident occurred remain to be expiscated.-IVort4 British Mail. FATAL FRMAIL OF A RAILWAY PASsr.NOZII.-011 Tuesday an inquest was held at Thoseley on the body of • young man, 20 years of ag& named Jam es Smith, who had lived at 73, Phillips-strut, Huhn*. It appeared that on Sunday afternoon a party of five young men, one of whom wee the deceased, left Manchester at 3.204er [train for Bow don, where the annual wakes were being held, and large sambas of pawners were consequently conveyed by rail. During the ride the five friends bad some larking amongst them, in the course of which two of them exchanged bats. One of these was looking out of the window when the Weis was approaching Timperley station, and the hat which be had put on sou blown off. It was at mice agreed by the others that they should get out A the elation and go book for the hat. The deceased, however, egoist the resnoestnumes of his companions, said that he would jump out of the carriage and get the bat. Opening the door, he stepped on the footboard, and telling his companions to be mire to wait for him at Tin:lnsley Station, he closed the door sad leaped off the train. Whether he struck a poetise:by. or lost his balance by getting in the hollow betwixt the sleepers is not known, but he bad fallen back under the train, and was killed inikantaneouily, part of the skull and brain being carried • yard from the body. A verdict of accidental death was returned, no one Wet to , blase but the unfortunate violins ; but the mow 01,r, Dusatan) merely censured the practice of lespbg cast rag Weis whilst in motion.—Maitchester Geordies.

WOOLWICH, Seer. 23. A 300-pounder rifled gun, manufactured last year at Sir W. Armstrong's El.wick factory, and weighing 11 toes 14 cwt. 3 qrs., was this day landed at the Royal Arsenal wharf, after having been subjected to experimental practices' Shoeburyness. The gun fired eight rounds with a full charge sucosedully, but at the ninth round it was disabled, and a flaw is now perceptible about a foot from the muzzle, the coils having in fact separated &promptly from bad welding. The °Mans of the department of the lospector-General of Ordnance have taken a mat of the defects by steam of a gutta parch& solution, and the gnu will require complete repairs before it is again available. A number of the 12-pounder Armstrong guns issued to the service have been found to give way at the muzzle, and fifty of these weapons have therefore been shortened by matting a foot off from the muule end, and strengtheeed by as additional coil being planed in frost of the trunnion, and also by thicker vent-pieces. THE CHANNEL FLEET. The Beet yesterday wu visited by the members of the Liverpool Town Council and a large number uf ordi nary spectators, although the crowd was not so pest as on previous days, owing to the absence of escursionute. The nest will leave the Mersey early this (Thursday) morning in order to cross the bar by the ant tide. Some regret is felt that the inhabitants will not have an opportunity of giving a parting cheer to the noble vessels, but it is absolutely necessary for them to start esrly in order that the in. habituate of Dublin, who have been }waiting very patiently, may not be dhappointed. It was publicly announced that the fleet would leave Liverpool yesterday, and a number of people who crowded bbs stages and pierbeads were disap pointed to fled that they were not "a day 'rebind," but "a day before the fair." On Tueeday the Mayor of Bristol received the following reply to his request that the fleet might visit that city :—" Admiralty, 21st September.

At an entertainment given on Tuesday by Mr. Brampton Gordon, M.P., to the volunteers of Denham and Wymoodbam, at his residence, Litton-hell, Norfolk : Lord WODEHOUB.; in respond* to the toast of "The honorary members of the volunteer corps," said—The sub ject of volunteers has latterly been so much spoken about, and so much written about, that perhaps there remains very little that is new to be said on that topic ; but although the subject is not a new oar I think it • very excelliont our. I am convinced that we, as a nation, owe much to the move ment, as it was formerly called, but to the establiohmen as it may now be calle d, of the volunteers. (Hear, bow. For my own part, I haloes to what I trust is not owed the deed weight of the corps, but which may be called the inactive part of the corps ; and I, therefore, may be consi dered as of king more to the arts of peace, while you the volunteers look more to the arts of war. Now, I would my that in a country such as ours, where the people have risen to so great an eminence—sad this, I think, I may say with out any undue comae—in all the arts which bring wealth to a country—a country which stands to high in the world as regards rL commerce, and, I may say, which 'tends so high in the world as regards its agriculture—l say in a country such as this, devoted to these arts for a long series of year., we have especial reason to thank those who recall to us the stern necessities of war. (Hear, hear.) We may depend upon it' that the heart of a nation is not sound, unless every man in it, according to his capacity, is prepared to defied those ad vantages and blame. which he enjoys. This nation has shown most unmistakably that timed sp(iit leas been kept alive and still burns within her. ( Timm the earliest times a nation that has not been prepared at ones emcee sacrifices has bees in danger; bat I laity goy that this nation has sever bees is &agar blesses she bee always been prepared to make sacrifiese—ays. and the greatest ssenillote, if neessary—te avert any Auger that may have lessened her. (Mews.) No man is now disposed to under estimate the value of the volunteers, and if at any time we may have been the least disposed to do so, we have had a lesson in what has taken place in the limited States, showing what a volunteer force can do. (Hear.) At the outbreak of that bloody war both parer were volunteers; and we have seen with what perseverance, with what unflinching courage, they have fought upon those terrible fields that have been strewn with molt terrific car nags so much of the best blood in the United States. (Hear, hear.) A deplorable war it is, co doubt ; but from et we may learn something ; we may learn from it that should the necessity ever arise oar volunteers win be fit. after no long practice, to take their place in the field by the side of the regular forces. But I trait that we in this country may never be driven to that most direful necessity of nemg troops by compulsion. (Hear, hear.) It is our boast that our whole forces are voluoteen— not merely those who are the volunteers more especially, but the whole of our regular tomes are raised by volun teering. (Obese.) I trust that this will never be other- Wise, and lam see that so long as the spirit which now prevails anion as esteem to exist—a willingness to come forward and assist the regular forose—so long shall we have 000 Deed of that most hateful system of conscription to which they have been obliged to resort in the United States. (Cheers.) Lord Wodehonse concluded by congratulating the local corps on their efficiency, and premising a prise to be shot for. Mr. Guarax, M.P., in proposing "Suomi to the Volun teer Force," mid he regarded the swore of the volunteer movement as a matter of great importance. It had already been so suocessful that at the present moment there were no fewer than 150000 volunteers eoro ll ed, and he had no doubt that if eicsaiou should call for their services the number could be increased to almost any extent to which arms, ammunition, and Alan could be provided. (Cheers.) It was sometime meld that the move ment had alerted in • genic about invasion, but be that as it might, there was no doubt that at the time the forth was brought into ex lather, • feeling prevailed throughout the country that the state of our defences was not what it ought to have been. At the same time there was a very general indisposition, as he trusted there always would be, Niany large lemmas of the standing army. However cren t t the army and militia were, it was thought that a larger faros than was necemary for a standing army might in an emergency bs»qaired, and therefore, by a spontaneous effort, not anggatd by the government, bat solely emanat ing from the public spirit of the country, there had sprung into life the magnificent throe, a tlarge Portion of which the public bad had the opportunity of seeing at the great review in Hyde Park, about two pars since. (Hear, bear.) The movement had now obtained so great a hold on the minds of the people, that he might almost may it had become one of the familiar sports andexeseiw of the country, and Is. thought it was not likely that parliament or the government would refuse any reasonable aid and se w ot that might be needed to mantels the volunteer force in an efficient state. The peace of the country must in a great measure depend upon its defence; and the volunteers were intended solely as a defensive force, under no circumstances to be teed for ag gressive purposes. Their services would be confined to the maintenance of the country in its present state of security. Providence had blessed the nation with vest possessions, great riches, and many other advantages, and it was both the duty and the inclination of the people to trans mit those advantages unimpaired to posterity. Ile knew of no means more likely to effect this object than the volunteer force, which was • guarantee for the security of the country, and which consequently was deserving of all support. (Mean.) Other speeches of a local character followed, and the pro ceedings terminated. NE. C. W. W.

(Applause.) On behalf of his old friend on his right (Mr. Wynn) he might be led to my perhaps too much from a long said valued acquaintance, and, therefore, his allusion to it was sufficient. (Cheers.) He believed be had dose his duty to his constituents conscientiously. With respect to the member for the boroughs he Iliad had no personal acquaint ance without to my much of bini t but no doubt be was a very estimablernan. It would be chikt b and foolish in tbe extreme for him to my that he wished him to be long In the position in which he was placed as their member. (laughtee and cheers.) For himself, as a peer of the realm, be had no voice in the election of any one ; but be trusted to see • different result at the next election for the boroughs. He begged to drink the health' of Mr. Charles Wynn and Mr. Tracy. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WYNN mid he was vary much obliged to them for the honour the had done him in drinking his health. He also thanked them for placing him in the high and dis tinguished position of their representative for the county of Montgomery ; and he also thanked them for sending him to the British House of Parliament unfettered by • single pledge. (Cheers.) They had been pleased to continue that confidence, and he was obliged to them for it. The question might be put, " What have you done since you have been to parliament r But this was not the plans to make • confession, although he was not averse to say ing a few words upon the matter. The general regatta of the last session heel not been marbly' by anything very great u regards any very important political measure, but the MapiOD bad not been without its noes and its labour,. If poor Mr. Brotherton, who, he hoped, was better engaged now, bad been there, he would have seen full benches UV many occasions after twelve o'clock. In all the large or small societies, or guilds in London or elsewhere, some one was sure to get up and my that politics must not be touched upon in order to promote general harmony and respect other convictions, and no sooner had lie said so than ten to one be began talking about politics himself ! (Laughter.) But, thanks to them, they bad sent him to parliament to , do as he liked. There was a great social question upon ! which he might be allowed to say a few words, that would steer clear of politico. It was a question which bad been I brought forward by a gentleman of the best philanthropic intentions to remedy a great social evil. He alluded to , Mr. Somes'a liquor bill for the closing of public-hour ' from 12 o'clock on Saturday night until Monday moving. It was • subject that affected the country generally, and not leas the tenant farmers of Montgomeryshire. Drink, they all admitted, was the great curse of this country. H. believed seven-eighths of the crimes committed in this ; coantry are traceable to drink. Mr. Somas believed, as a ' means to an end, that his bill would remedy this state of things—to adopt, in fact, a law similar to the Maine Liquor Law. But the people of this country had Dever beetudis. 'mooed late either religion or morality, and they would not ! be dragooned into that. He believed it was in DM that Lord Ebnry's Act waa brought up to remedy this state of things in Loudon, and do away with Sunday drinking and ; Meath'. If be recollected right they were opened from one to two or three o'clock, and to be closed the other part of the day. The passing of this rut created such • state of feeling in London that the houses of members of putative% who voted for it were availed and the windows broken. Organised mobs assembled in the squares, parks, and public please of Loodoe, and in three weeks after it was started it had to be withdraern by the government. He thought it would have been better that it had not been done at all than to byre tt withdrawn, as the cause itself suffered by se ill.advised measure. His thought it might work well in country places, but he did not think it would in London and other large Dowse, if • permissive bill was pseud, but he would sot pledge himself to support one. With respect to Mr. Sesees's Sill, in the shape in which it was brought in be should ham voted against it on the third reeding ; but it was lest by an overwhelming majority on the first. There was little doubt it would be introduced next session in a modified shape. As regarded their other temeseatative (Mr. Tracy), he (the speaker) was like the ' animals, he had so personal acquaintance with him ; but be bed no doubt, in all that concerned the interest, of their =Xito, he should led aa able coadjutor in him. load olisicing.)—Shroookry Journal. ri'WOPENCE THE LEIGH HAY-MAKING GASE-DEPENOZ OP THE MAGISTRATE& The justices at Leigh have published a defence of their conduct in the form of a letter written by their clerk, Mr. Richard Marsh, who asserts that the facts of the can have been distorted and misrepresented. Hs seer" So ter as the course pursued by the justices, in point of law, is concerned, the Atherton Bench is fully prepared to susta in the convictions it felt bound to pronounce, and it will await with confidence the judgment of a superior tri b unal, should the defendants be advised to have its decieon reviewed. In the meanwhile, however, it is doe to the justices who convicted in the case to pot the facts in their tens light, end so to prevent the further circulation of the groin mis statements which have been, and continue to he, denomi nated. Such misrepresentations, ttto they produce but little e ff ect on the intelligent and wellZiposed may. never theless, mislead the ignorant, and are calculated to excite hatred against the magistrates personally, and to bring their administration of justice into disrepute in the estimation of the labouring classes. It is therefore hoped that the press will act in the interests of justice and truth, and give pub licity to the following account of the matter. Long before the bench interfered the attention of the local police had been called to the numbers of working people in a state of drunkenness on • Sunday in the vicinity of Leigh and Atherton. In the early part of July a man mu; summoned I before the magistrates for being drunk on the previous Sun ' day,when he stated as his defence that he got thedrink for making bay es thitt day ; and on the next Sunday, July 12, the polio@ found • oart filled with drunken men returning from • day's haymaking in the neighbourhood, and on the fol lowing day itionday) • clergyman made a formal complaint to the magistrates that be and his congregation had been disturbed while in church by the noise of the haymakers at work in an adjeising field during the home of .Divine ser vice ; sad in addition to this, the police stated to the ma gistrates in open court that Sunday haymaking was be coming very general in the neighbourhood, and t much drunkenness and disorderly conduct was produced thereby. In neon of such a state of things, Mr. Superintendent Orion's on the next Sunday, July 19, visited the fields of the defendants, Howarth, Bettereby, and the Cie worths, having been informed that haymaking was thee going on. In the fields of each of then defendants the police found numbers of men, some at work, and others in a state of in. toucan= ; sod upon inquiring from some of the men themselves it appeared that they received no wages for the Sunday's work, but only their meat and drink, or, as they expressed it, " a good blow out" In the defeediset Ho warth's field the greatest number of the men were employed in spreading the small gram soils. In Cleworth's field part of the hay was in windrow, and the remaining portion winger which appeared only to have been shaken out that day. Consequently that portion could not palely have hese fit foroxerytngin lees than two days; moreover, the weather was fine settled, sad there wee no appearance el chis foreboding damage to the crop. So much therefore for the truth of the assertion that the Clewortbs bad a meadow of hay ready for carrying, which, from the state of the wea ther, they were appreheenve of being lost, and were there fore compelled to resort to Sunday labour as • work of ne cessity to save the mop from rain. " Such wee the cue in its general bearing and antecedents with which themegistratee had to deal when the dedendante abovenamed, with some of themes employed, appeared be. fore Hobnob at Atherton to answer the charge preferred against them nailer the Lord's Day Act. And now, it may be asked, what were the magistrates to do! It will be ob. mewed that the desecration of the Sunday, &grunt as it was, was not in this one • breach of as set parlisaisat only ; besides being an infraction of the law, this Sunday hayroakieg was the producing cause of drunkenness and disorderly conduct among the working people, and ft there for* beams the duty of the magistrates to use e legiti mate means to put au end to this open violation claw, at tended wit was by such mischievous consequences. "The statute under which the defendants were summoned is prune enough in its terms, and the bench considered that the facts proved in evidence fully brought the defend ants within its scope. No case of necessity was made out on behalf of say of the haymakers, and therefore then were no grounds foe extending to them the exception contained in the statute. still, however, the bench was unwilling to con vict, the object of the magistrates being rspronion rather than punishment, and the court offered to let the defend ants off on payment of the outs only ; but this clemency was misconstrued into an indication of timidity on the part of the justices, and was indignantly declined by the defend ants Cleworth, who refused to pay either penalty or costa until compelled to do so. "The bench thus net at defiance bad but one course to pursue in order to make the law respected ; and to put an trod to the repeated and indecent profseatioe of the Sunday, with its attendant consequences of drunkenness and de moralisation ; they, thereto-e. most properly convicted the offenders in the penalty of Se. each, and the oasts of the prosecution. The defendants and their ■ panniers have sought to impute unfairness and partiality to the magi. strain for having dismissed the case against the coal heavers, also summoned with the haymakers for a breech of the Lord's Day Act ; but in this case of the coal la. bourns it was satisfactorily shown that their Sunday work was • work of necessity, which brought them within the proviso of the act. In such • cue, had the =senate convicted, how would their conduct have been attacked as oppressive and unjust ; yet this acquittal, humane and dis eruninating se it was, has bees tortured into a partial and madded application of the law by those who seek to ruin the howl of popular prejudice against the proceedings of the Atherton justices and the local police. " Public feeling has also been appealed to as to the con duct of the police when they proceeded to enforce the sen tence of the petty sessions. What are the fade One of the defendants of the five against whom distress warrants were boned is alleged to have been in indigent circum stances, and sympathy has been sought to be evoked by the picture of the constable's cruel mission to his poverty. stricken dwelling; the poverty of this individual has in the first place bean grossly exaggerated ; but, besides this, it appears that be was not distrisined npou at all, for the polio. retired leaving his voluble wife mistress of the field without removing an article of his property. As to the dwellings of the other four defendants, they are confessedly comfortably furnished ; their yards well stocked, and on them the police moat properly levied sufficient to satisfy the penalty and coats which up to the last the defendants obstinately re fused to pay. The property se detrained cosseted in all of only two pieces of household furniture and • cow, which have since been sold by public auction, to be boughtin with much parWeby or on behalf of the owners. " Thus, therefore, the police, so far from acting harshly, acted upon the side of leniency, for they halted in the exe cution of their duty at the first and only cry of poverty that was raised. As to the enforcement of the penalty sad coats against the other four defendant', it would be • cult for even their advocate to suggest how the magistrates or police could have acted with greater moderation, unless, indeed, the authorities were to niter the law to become a dead letter, and its execution to be resisted by every sturdy and contumacious offender. " The magistrates of the Atherton bench at present only desire to repel the imputation of partial and oppressive ad mioistratims of justice. They are not responsible for the policy, be it good or bad, of any piste of legislation on which it is their duty to act. It may, however, be well to tell the defenders of Sunday labour that the act of Charlie 11., on which they have expended a great deal of ignorant criticism, Is not the only legislation on the subject to be found in our statute-book. This statute u only an extension of various acts of the legislature passed in preceding reigns, the prin ciple of which may be traced back even to the days of our Saxon ancestors ; and so far from the statute in question having become forgotten or obsolete, its existence has beeg re cognised in soma acts of parliament relating to the same subject down to the reign of his late Majesty William IV. Indeed, the observance of the Sunday, not es a pharisaical gabbed], but a day of repose from the ordinary labours of the week. is • a time-honoured' institution among all classes of Englishmen ; and it deserves the support of all who are the real friends of the working community—' it humanises by the help of conversation and society the minuets of the lower climes ; it enables the industrious working man to pursue his occupation in the ensuing week with health and cheerfulness.' The Sunday is in every sense the ' poor man's holiday,' to which every hard-handed peasant in the kingdom is entitled as his ioheritance—a birthright which the law in its humanity will not allow him to sell. The Atherton magistrates, therefore, deserve, not the reproach but the gratitude of the labouring popularises in their neigh. bourhood, for protecting them against those who, for their own interest, seek to deprive the weekly labourer of his Sunday's ptiaiirge, and who are sordid enough to get a day'a work out of their poor neighbours by the temptation of driak instead of the molest of honest wages.'
