Again we have to congratulate the Public on the triumphs gaining by Truth over Error—by Justice. over Oppression. In Yorkshire, the leading Manu facturers have turned their attention to the glaring oppression that has . ocen too long exercised towards the Workmea, by reducing the rate of wage.; BELOW their natu;-al level; ~nci to the evil so forcibly pointed out lately in Mr. Hour's able letter, of compelling the men, by theisr low wages, to work a greater number of hours, and thus to ircrease the quantity of goods, when the markets are already overloaded— a procedure which only puts it more out of the power of the Manufacturer to obtain ready and profitable markets. It will be seen by our Leeds letter, that measures are taking in that populous District to ap ply a radical remedy to these evils. Some unprin• cipled Masters may endeavour to thwart the efforts of those of better principles ; but if the latter meet with the co-operation of the rest of the Community— as no doubt they will—they must triumph ; and thus will peace and contentment again pervade the Manufacturing Districts, and an end be put to all the idle and dangerous clamours about Radical Reform. This, in fact, is the only true Radical Reform in which the Working Classes have any interest ; grant them this—we were going to say, boon, but the term would be improper—grant them but this bare justice, and at once you will cut up by the roots all incen tives to Reform Meetings in these districts. We have frequently pointed out the means by which Parishes might compel the Masters to act justly towards their Workmen; but how much more easily may this be done when, as in the case before us, the most re spectable and best informed of the Employers are desirous to secure to the Workmen an adequate re muneration for their labour. Nothing more is neces sary for the Parishes to do, than, having obtained from those best qualified to furnish it, a List of Rates of Wages, to refuse Parish aid to any who shall work at a lower rate. If the Public were surprised yesterday by the par ticulars we detailed respecting the proceedings at Oldham, on the Inquest on the death of J(JIN LEES, we know not what xvill be their feelings waen they read the farther proceeding.; given in our columns this day. On Wednesday, the body was in such a putrid state, that it was certainly dangerous to defer the interment, and yet the Inquest v% as afterwards adjourned tc Friday !—for no other earthly purpose, that we can discover, but that Mr. HARMER, !]r. DENISON, and some other Gentlemen, whose presence causes so much alarm to the Authorities at Manches ter and the neighbourhood, might be forced to take their departure before the examination of the wit nesses was tone into.—Or was the adjournment that u.ok place on Thurseay insisted on by Mr. BATTYE t'aat he might not be too late for his Rochdale dinner? The dread of losing this dinner, which he acknow ledged to be a sufficient reason with him for adjourn ing an Inquest on the death of a fellow -creature, was not, however, the worst. • The disclosure of the cir cumstances attending the death of LEES, does not appear to have been the business on which he was sent there ; but he had not sense or skill enough to throw even an appearance of decency over the matter. In the excess of his alarm and embarrassment, he let every thing out. He at once told Mr. HAnsea,They would examine no witnesses but Me Crown witnesses ! Well might Mr. HA RAIER remark to Mr. NORRIS...- " There are many customs here, which arc unheard If elsewhere.' Now, though we know a contemporary Journal remarked, that any equal number of old women in the country would have cut as respectable a figure on the Bench as the Manchester Authorities did on to examination of Mr. HUNT, we will not be so un just towards them as to suppose this subaltern, Mr . BATTYE, to be a fair representative of their talents or skill.—" But" Lis remarked in The Morning Chronidej vie shall not probably be very far wrong, when we hold him up as a fair representative of the spirit which actuates the ruling party at Manchester. The don't tel of his supetiors was not lost on him. Oh no, tell nothing !—concealing and not telling is what we want. The less that is told the better ; for nobody can tell any good of us. Besides, we have already told too much. Did not Mr. Nonats say, that' had an application been made to us before the Bills of Indictment were rejected by the Grand Jury,. we might with propriety have interfered, and I should not have refused to interfere to receive the deposi tions,' and ' that it was solely on this ground the Court refused to interfere;' and then, when Mr. lialt• NEB told us I have other cases which have not been before the Grand Jury, and into which I am .now fully prepared to enter,' what a fooli , h figure did we cut when we were obliged so suddenly to belie our former declaration, and refuse to receive the deposi tions!' 0 no, telling will not do for us! It has been often observed, that the conversation of servants will give you the best key to the dicrt - .!.i".,:.t.; and inclina tions of their superiors; and in this respect Mr. BAT- Tye might be considered a very valnotble key, if his superiors had not already in a great measure enabled us to dispense with his services." A Flanders Mail which arrived last night has brouAlit us Brussels Papers to the Bth inst. The most remarkable portion of their contents con sists of details of the cruel persecution to which the Jews continue to he subjected throughout Germany. The general animosity against these people is quite inconceivable. At Rimbach, a village near Wurts burg, the peasants not only plundered the houses of the Jewi, but demolished the Synagogue, trampled on the Thosa or Ark, in which were the Books of Moses, threw the whole into the street, broke the chandeliers, and committed the most reprehensible excesses. At Kimpon also, the populace, not con tent with breaking the windows of the Synagogue, penetrated into the interior, and destroyed every thing that served for the exercise of the Jewish Wor ship. In some little towns in Franconia there have been very serious tumults, occasioned by the same hatred of the Jews. At Berlin, a Jew being pursued by a crowd of idle people, had no means of saving himself but to join in the cry of " Hep! Hep!" which has become so terrible to the Jews in Germany. The King of BA vAniA has very properly decided that the town of Wurtzburg must indemnify the Jews for the lasses they have suffered in the late tumults there, and that the amount of the indemnity shall be imposed on such of the inhabitants as have been ac tive in exciting these troubles. We trust that this just act of retribution will have a salutary effect in repressing a spirit of intolerance so vile and unchris tian. It is not, however, to the arm of power alune we would trust for the correction of the evil. The public sentiment has taken a wrong direction—and it is upon the efforts of the Public Press to instruct and enlighten it, that we must mainly depend for the reformation we seek. Our Readers cannot have for got what the Press achieved for the persecuted Pro testants of the South of France. It has only to will it, to achieve a similar triumph for the no less perse cuted Children of Israel. Mails have also arrived to-day from Hamburg!) and Holland, with Papers to the 3d and Bth instant. We subjoin some extracts: BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 2. The Bureau of the Minister of Justice will be re moved, neat week, to the Hague. The other Minis t :rial Departments, which are now here, are also pre paring to go to the Hague. k. , 1 4 FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER 2. The Autumnal Fair has commenced, but it pro mises little good ; very few strangers have arrived. —lt seems that the late tumults and insults to the Jews, have had a prejudicial influence. AURICH, AUGUST 25. The official Papers have published the Proclamation for the Meeting of the States of East Friesland and Harlingen, at Aurich, on the 20th September, of which President Von der Duken is to be Commis sioner for his Royal Highness the Prince Regent. The object of this assembly is to receive the communica tion of the resolutions taken by the Government, in consequence of the propositions already made by the States. The duration of the Assembly is fixed to ten days. SAXONY, AUGUST 26. Couriers have been sent frem Carlsbad to several Courts, with the result of the Ministerial Conferences on the affairs of Germany. The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived at a late hour this forenoon. The Monitestr announces the promotion of two more distinguished Artists to the dignity of Cheva liers of the Legion of Honour—M. PERCIEA, the Ar chitect; and M. BERRIC, the Engraver. The Gazette de France contains the following para graph, if true, most important—" Our correspon dence with the North furnishes us, under the head of Altona, with the following news, dated 31st August : .., " The recruiting parties in our Duchies and in Denmark have suddenly received orders to join their respective regiments ; whence conjectures have arisen, so much the more accredited, that there has been, it is said, revolutionary and bloody scenes in Sweden."

The carriage to which these handsome appendages are to be affixed, is the one her Royal Highness took to Como : it is still in high preservation, and much admired. The agent states positively, that her Royal Highness has, for the present, abandoned all intention of visiting this country. 'LEEDS, SEPTEMBER 9. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. The Public Meeting at Hanging Heaton, (mel tioned in my last letter) near Dewsbury, which took place this day, was numerously attended ; but it war chiefly for the purpoe of taking into consideration die present deplorable situation of the manufacturing labourers and their families, arising from the unpre cedented low rate of wages paid in the Calico and low Woollen Cloth trades. A series of Resolutions, consonant with the object of the Meeting, were adopted ; and the persons assembled dispersed peace ably to their respective homes, a. an early hour in the evening. There was not -he least dispo,ition to tumult or inflammatory language of any description. All they wanted, they said, in return for fourteen of fifteen hours' daily labour, was to get a sufficiency to maintain themselves and families, without being a burthen to their respective parishes, and subjecting themselves to the odious appellation of Paupers ! Forty-six of the principal Manufacturers of Wool -len Stuffs, in Bradford and its neighbourhood, have published an Address to their brother Manufacturers, and to the Merchants, which does honour to their beads and hearts. They have agreed to bring up the wages of the men to the old regular standard ; and call upon the other Masters, as an act of com mon justice, to do the same. Six of the most re spectable Mercantile Houses in Leeds, have sub• scribed their names as approving of the Resolutions of the Manufacturers, and urging that they should be carried into effect with as little delay as possible. The Resolutions are only three in number, but too long to be transcribed in time for this post. They are, as you will see when you receive them by next Mail, in strict unison with the excellent remarks that have from time to time appeared in The Star, as to the evil tendency and pernicious consequences likely to result from the prevalent low rate of wages. In one word, you have opened the eyes of the Employers of best character to their real interests, and the sys tem of oppression is on the point of being torn up by the roots.—" We wish," say these worthy Gentle men, " to arouse the Manufacturers to a sense of their danger, and call upon them to bring up their wages to the regular prices. For, it is a well known fact, that at this moment a considerable proportion of the goods brought into the-market, are woven for less than the regular prices, to the great detriment of the trade at large, by causing the labourer, in order to earn the same amount of wages, to produce a proportionate additional quantity of inferior work, when it is least wanted, and thereby creating that glut in the market, which has for some time back been so ruinous and prejudicial." The names of the very respectable Mercantile Houses in Leeds, who have already given in their names as approving of the Resolutions of the Manu facturers, are BANES and GOODMAN ; ALMAM, PEASE and Co. RIDSDALES and JOHNSON, RAWSON and THACKREY, BROTHERS, RICHARD PULLAN and Co.' and THOMAS C. STUBBINS. Every one of these names ought to be engraven ire letters of gold. Conduct like this will do more to allay the spirit of discon tent which is now stalking abroad, than incarcerating men in dungeons, or hacking them to pieces with the sabre. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
