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.
