      Wi With bullet wound ' s in every breast , with foreheads gashed and rifled , To Ton placed us on the bloody plank and high in air up lifted ! W : Wiih horrid cries uplifted , that each pain-contorted gesture T < To him ( 1 ) who caused our death , should cling a curseinflicting vesture J ... It Ihat he should see them sight and day , aa sleeper or as waker—In In the opening of his' bible , is the foaming of his beaker ! TJ That they fihonU born within his gonl a searching brand unceasiag , Ti from which no time , from which no place , should ever

      give releasing ! T Teat every panf-diatotted mouth , each gaping vrouad and 'deeding , S Should fill with anguish and with dread his hour of life ' s receding ! 1 That mid his death-pain should cose back each rob from grief now wrenched , 1 Tiat each dead hand against his head should eveu then be clenched—1 Whether that head , like other men ' s , upon a bea be shielded , Or vMher on the headsman ' s block its latest breath be yielded ! ' ¦ '_!?« thus , with ballet-pierced breasts , with foreheads cashed and rifted ,

      Ton laid us oa the plank and high to the balcony lifted ! 'Ctnie diwnS ' andhe csme trembling down—beeWt our bed stood trembling , ( 2 ) Hat off ! ' (!)—be bared his head—heAowed ( a puppet now resembling . ^ bW Vfho was an actor esoe !) stooii > g 5 ^ with terror shaken ! ; - < Meaatime the aimy left the town which we in death had tukea 1 Then'Jesus be my trust ! ' said he—these words are scripture holy ; 'ify trust shall be in steel , * had been a fitter saying truly !

      That was the morning ofthe night when we were slain ; you bore as ¦ ff lth triaiaph to our patriot graves , aud made rejoicing o ' er us ! Asd we , tha woe was curs 'tit true , our skulls were cleft ana gory , 1 st was our furious outbreak crowned with victory ' s joyoss glory ! VT-2 thought , 'the costindeid is great , but tbe prize has well repaid us !' Aud therefore without murmuring upon our Men we laid us .

      Sow woe to yoa , we are deceived ! Four moons have waxed an £ waned , And through your cowardice is lost all that we bravely gained ! All that in death we won for you as dross ia now re-. garded ! —Unto oar noiseless spirit-ears is knowledge BtUl awarded—Like rushing wavos round us has roared the deeds of every nation ; The folly of the Danish war—the Polei' last deiradadon ! ( 4 ) The furious raving of Vendee in provinces benighted ; The coming back of soldiery ; aad back the Prince v- ' - invited ;

      Disgrace at Mainz—disgrace at Trier—the burgher " - / guard elated ; Embracing—everywhere disarmed , ere well they were created— , The spite ihat ofthe arsenal-storm has made an ao : of : robbers , That with its venoa , us , the dead , aad even tha grave , - beslobbers , 'Wherever there were barricades , now pre . and speech in slavery , Aud with the free Assembly ' s right tbe daily feud of knavery ; In nerihand south of prison doors the sullen creak and grating ; For all who for the people stand—dungeons asd fetters waiting . The compact with the Cossack power—the breach of aH alliance .

      Ah ! even with you whe frem your graves breathe glory and defiince , Te whom the ' future-hasteniog storm drove far with " victory heated , J one-heroes of the Paris fight—ye conquerors though defeated ! ( 5 ) And then this Frankfort-treachery with daily wage upholding— 5 ^ . All , people!—and no peace but iu thy ' eathera-aprjn ' fi j folding . Say ! hideth it not war as well ! let war thereout be shaken-War , sccoad war , the last for all who thy free rights hare takes . Let thy loud cry , the Commonwealth ! drown all tha Delia with gladness , ¦ Which now " are madly pealing fer this new Midsummer madness !

      In vain ! there now is need that you once more from earth displace us * And once again on the bending plank high in the air should raise us ' Fot to that mean , submissive man , as then to shew our faces , But through the land to march with us , to camps , to market-places . Through all the country's breadth and length where tyrant rale ia force is , And then as _ d both parliaments set down our rebel corses ! Oh solemn sight ! there shall we lie soiled by the great defacer , With livid visage , half corrupt—the real Reuhster . utter . ' There shall we lie and cry aloud " ' Oh Senators , proud

      hearted , Ire we had time to turn to dust your freedom has departed ! The corn is reaped that budded forlh when we laMareh lay dju _ , Young freedom ' s spring-crop , ere those sheaves , shorn * to the earth was lying ! But hers cud there sone poppy red has ' scaped the ruth' / ess resper— , . Oh , that the laud thus kept alive its ' red rage , steiaer , deeper ! Yet soil it lives ; in our rebuke doth consolation waken ! Ton had already done too much , too much for you was taken ; For you each passing day is felt such scorn , such detestation ,

      That , trust the dead , who cannot lie that hate has uj cessation ! It Uvea for you ; yes , it awakes—will wake for execution—And will perfect isto a whoh the half-formed revolution ! It waiteth but a moment- ~ p-C 3 , then starteth forth victorious—Wiih lifted arms , with floating locks , it stands there fierce and glorious ! The rusty" gun it Enstcheth up , the window lead is

      ieething , Tbe r _ i fag ( 6 ) o ' er the barricades of liberty is . breathing ! Therflf flagUaia 'he burgher-guard—it sets the troops in motion ; Ascending dime consumes the throne—the kings fly to ' the ocean—The ea _ Ies fly , the lions fly—the beaks , the claws of passion—The peep ' s , the true Sovereign , themselves their future fashion ! ( 7 )

      Meanwhile , sum the hour is come , let this our tribulation , Take steadfast hold uponyeur heart , oh , ye neglectful nation ! Ann ! staad ye ready ! every hour a braver band and stronger—So that this earth where stiff we lis may wear her chains no longer . '— . That from this time the troublous thought from onr dest _ . _ Bep __ y saver . That yoa were free , bat now again are slaves—and slaves forever !

About nine o ' clock on the above morning , she bad occasion to go np-stalrs to her bed-room for something or other , and upon returning down , just as she placed her foot ou the landing in the kitchen , that portion of the flooring on which ehestood gave way b-neathher , and to the surprise nnd alartr . of those cf the family who were in the kitchen at the time , she instsntly sank into the ground and

      dlsspp . ared fram their sight . Au alarm was instantly given , and a number af person ' s from an adjoining coalfield were quickly on the spot , but they wer « unable to reader any assistance at the moment , even had such be ?_ patBl ble , owing to the suffocating natnr « of tho atmosphere * hich filled the house , and which their experience in sack matters convinced ( hem proceeded from an old coalpit into which the unfortunate woman had fallen , Ia order to give free vent to tbe foul air , the back walls of the heuse were pulled down , but it was nearly two hours from the time of tho occurrence before it was cor . sidettd safe for any one to psnevere in auattesp . to ascertain Oe fate of the unfortunate wotnau .

It was afterwards brought , down to Hull , and convejed to one of the Greenland boiling yards . BtrasriHO or the Yictobia BAiwoif . —An autumnal gala was fixed for the 27 th of October , at Halstead , and Mr C . Green , the veteran aeronaut , was to have made his 409 ih ascent on the occasion , and great was the disappointment which the storm of wind and rain caused , involving as It did , the postponement of the

      entertainments till last Saturday . Bnt to the extreme regret of the coaceuree of visitors Sa'urday mornisg offered no improvement upon Friday , as the storm from the south , west increased . The inflation of the balloon , however , had progressed most favourably ; the committee had made tho best possible arrangements ; all parties con . cern d were in harmony , and anxious to give satisfaction—but the elements forbade the fulfilment of their d'lires . The storm increased , the wind kept up its at tacks on the restrained aerial monster as though deter , mined to sweep it away . Moored to the earth by ftve strong ropes and stakes , balanced by about one ton and a half of iron weights attached with ropes to the ring 01

Qreen and his brother , io govern ing the furious rolling and violent lifts and plunges of the grand prisoner ; . it seemed for a long time that the fforts aui resolute energy of humanity might be allowed a victory over the fury of the blast . But , alas I abjut a quarter to twelve o ' clock , when tbe hurricane was at its height , the immenseihflated creature was raised by a sudden jerk a fewfeet from tbe earth , Again and again it lifted and roljed and dssbeditielf to the ground ; and ou the part of the brave fellows ' who stack to the ropes aed cctiiag there was an indomitable perseverance

The danger of being dashed among the dangling weights , or violently hurled to the grouad , j as most imminent ; but all held on manfully , until at I twelve o ' clock , one . of' the long-strained ropes was : j snapped by the throes ot the Immense machine . At once . j the hoop with the iron weights , and twenty human i beings , were lifted up six or eight feet from the ground , The boop broke in halves , dropping men and Iron [ weights in a confused heap beneath ; and doubling its 1 j height , the balloon rose to sixteen or eighteen feet , with 1 : the stakes bv Which it bad been confined wrenched from

      the ground , and two or three men still banging oa tho heop . "f-ha netting , hot-over , being ao ' longer equally retained by the broken . hoop , and the balloon rolling ou tirely over on its aide in the air ( owing to the detention o ' on » remaining rope ) , the netting suddenly ripped up on the side of tbe balloon then uppermost , and tho silk enclosure , shelling itself out of tho ripp'd envelope , burst from end to end . Tho men and weights and netting ftli mingled in confusion—away flew the ImmeRsu mass of silk , rent In every "llr-o ' . ion , and the grand ba loon was no mora ! .

      TIB . HVOltmOXiftT CLUB * , Printed circulars of a moat treasonable tendency have been addiaised to a vast number of persons who wert i-oanectii with the revolutionary clubs prior to their dissolution by the Lord-Lieutenant ' s proclamation and the suspension ofthe Habeas Curpus Act , This deou ment calls on those parties to remember tbe oath of the 26 th of May ; that though defeated bow , tho triumph of 'he enemy will be but bhort . llved ; and that , as tbe materials of war are still In the hands of the Clubbltts , as early day should be fixed for a general rising , In addition to tbe foregoing , a rumour hat bees industriously spread , to the tffeot tbat Mr Daroy M Geo and Mr Devin Relliy ere snugly secreted in Dublin , ready to' take tbe field' at a moment ' s warning .

      TBS FUGITIVE LIACEIS , The following appears ia the Limebick EliMinxa : — ' It will be an ease to the brains aad the hearts of Be * tsoiivry to learn that Mr R . O'Gorman has positively set foot on the territory of France , and is now beyond the reach of all farther pursuit . ' The above Is quite correct , and It Is a curious circumstance connected with the fate of teis , one ofthe boldest find most resolute of the rabel phalanx , tbat all tbe 10-maatlo tales of his escape long since had not tho shadow of foundation , and that of tbe whole batob , he , despite

      bis well-marked features aud figure , strongly resembling -hose of the deceased leader of the Protectionists , should for months have contrived to elude the viglhnce ofthe police , and traverse tho country between Limerick and Kerry without recognition by bis pursuers . N » y , more , it is certain that until within a comparatively rvoent period Mr O'Gorman was seen by a friendly party nt a village inn close to the town of Killatney ; and I hava betn assured that It is not more than a fortnight , or at tbe farthest three weeks , since be actually quitted the Irish shores ,

      With respect to Mr Doheny ' s flight , a London correspondent of the Watsivo & b Chhomcce supplies that journal with the following narrative of bis escape from the great metropolis : — ' When Djheny reached Bristol , the port at which he landed from Ireland ( although some accounts mention his first arrival at Liverpool ) , ho was so miserably equipped that at every decent lodging , house he was refused accommodation . Not knowing the quarter of the city where he might obtain It , or perhaps disliking to herd with those whose externals he assumed , h « was compelled to wander about tbe tows until tbe next train started for London , where he wished to arrive in the disguise of a peasant , as he had travelled from Ireland . From London , iu these habiliments , he ceuld not escape alcne . Enough to say , that he spent two

      days here—that he was known by many Irishmen who saw bin—aud that he escaped to France by a packet from London Bridge , habited in the garb of a Roman Cathollo clergyman . During even bis brief stay , Dohenj had the Ill-luck to be recognised by . a countryman of his , a milkman , who traded in lacteal produce at a coffouhouse , which was Doheny ' s temporary abiding place . Our worthy milkman—not thirsting for the reward offered for Dohenj'a head—not influenced by any Saxon or Antl . Irish foaling— . but merely , lofty soul , looking on him In the light of one who had opposed O'Connell , and was to be sacrificed to tho spirit of Whiggery , hied straightway to the authorities , and gave Information as

      te his whereabouts . Luckily , Doheny had just departed ten minutes before the arrival from Palace Yard , and noii til Inventus was the luckless result of this tffiolal aotivi ' . y . In an hour afterwards he was sailing down tho Thames—only think of It—past the Tower , and the Woolwich garrison—and all the fearful armament of the English navy that lay botwocn the mighty city and tbe exit at tbe Note . Dressed as a clergyman , ia company with his friend—his passport in his pocket , as tbe Rev . Mr — , he quietl y crossed the Channel , and baffling English watchfulness , as well as Irish treachery , fixed himself , as your readers already know , beneath the tricolour banner of la belle France .

      MCBDEB IN LIMB 1 ICK . Tho Limeiick Chbonicle has the following partloulars ofthe murder of a bailiff near Mungret , a brief account of which appeared In the Tuks of Friday . The murder was committed within three miles of the city of Limerick , and not mere than 2 « 0 yards frem a police station \—' The uofortunate victim of assassination was a man named Michael Donoghue , land bailiff to Mr Robert Hunt , 'by whom he had been laid on as a keeper of cern crops , distrained for rent due to the head landlord , Mr Gaugh , by a tenant nam-d Michael Flanagan . The untimely fata of Donoghue , who had not been more than two hoars on duty , deprives a wife and eight chUJren of their protector , and hit desolate the fireside of tho widow and orphans . On visiting the scene of murder ,

      situate on the public high road , and surrounded by houses at either sloe , we were struck with astonlshmen * , when contemplating the revolting deed , at the Idea that the perpetrator should have escaped notice or reoognl . tiou ; and while It is hoped bo well-disposed peasants or country farmer would screen the murderer from justice , there is no doubt but ha is known to many In the locality . Mr James Bennett , coroner held an inquest on the bod y of Michael Doaoghue In the house where he was murdered . The corpse was stretched upon n table in the wretched dwelling , and a jury sworn te Investigate the circumstance ' s . After hearing evidence thejury returned a verdict of' Wilful Murder * against some person or persons unknown , Fhnagan , who was la custody of the police outside while tbe inquest was holding , was then conveyed to prison , with two persons of the uamo of Neil ! , also suspected of the murder .

      Tbiai , op Me Dohebty - On Monday , thp third trial of Mr Diherty , one of tho proprietors sf the Tbibune newspaper , commenced in the Commission Court , Dublin . The Jury having been sworn , after the prisoner ' s conn , nel h-ift Exhausted his right ef pert mpiory challenge , The Clerk of the Crewn then arraigned the prisoner in V & p usual manner . The indictment contained tin dia . t no ? counts , charging the prisoner with the separate offences of having compHsard to depose tho Queen from the Imperial Crown of the Unitort Kingdom , and of having compatsed the levying of war against her Majesty , io order to compel her to change her measures and counsels . These two Intentions were charged to have been manifested by tho prisoner in certain articles published io a newspapor , called the Ieibh T & ibone . of which he , together with a person named RichardD . Williams , were the joint proprietors The Attorney General stated tbo case for the Crown , end witnesses were examined in its support ,

      The facta elicited were essentially similar io thoso on the first and second trials of the prisoner in tho early pert of August last , when the juries on each disagreed , Tbe only noticeable paint in the evidence was the conduct of Francis MK'ever , a person iu the employment of Mr Donovan , a chemist , who was called for tho purpose of identifying Mr Doherty ' a handwriting . Cross-examined by Mr Butt , —Left Mr Donovan ' s establishment about eight daye ago . Thought he would return to It . Saw no reason to say that ho would not return . His reason for leaving Mr Donovan ' s was to to keep out of the way from feeing examined . Slept In the Brazen Head Hotel , and during the day went to the country . DM n « t ask Mr Connor for £ 5 io leave town ,

      but told him tbat he had not money to go away , otherwise be would go to Carr'ck on-Ssir , Met Mr Connor in his yard by appointment , and ho gave him £ 5 to go out of town , and , as he had already stated , he did go to tha country every day , and slt > pt in the hotel each night . Did tell Mr Connor tbathe would go to Carrick . on-Sulr , * mi as tbe money was not sufficient ho did not go , but remained in tho hotel , and went to tho country Iu the day-time as described . Could not tell what was Mr Connor ' s Impression as ro whether he had or had not Koao to Carriok-on Suir . Never told Mr C * nnor that the way he proved the handwriting was by comparing It with the writing In the shop book . Did aot expect to gtlo anything by giving evidence against the prisoner .

      Mr Butt produced a letter which was written by witness to Mr Connor , to whom it was addressed . Witness acknswlelged tbat the letter was in bis handwriting , and Mr Butt road the letter , which was as follows : — ' Brezan Head Hotel , Sunday Evening , Oct . 22 , 1818 . ' Ml Dear Ma Conhob , —Not wishing to make my appearanco in your neighbourhood , ns there is a close kok out for mo , I intend to leave town in the evening till

      after the trial . I write to soy that I shall feel particularly obliged to you If you tako the trouble of , either directly or indirectly , as you mcy think prudent , suggesting ; to Mr O'Doborty ' s counsel or agent tho propriety of abstaining f . om making any reference to mo , tending to attaint my character . I have a right to claim this protection ; for in adopting the course I have done , I assure you that I have consulted more my own feelings than my interest . Sincerely hoping that poor Mr Doberty may be able to extricate himself from the fangs of the Attorney General , I am , dear Mr Connor , " ' P . M'Keeveb ,

      Mr Butt ( to witness ) : Do you expect anything for g iving evidence against tbe prisoner f No . —Do you think y- > u had damaged yourself by going away % No , —What do you mean , then , by saying that you consulted your feollcgi more thau your interest % Ou the last trial therowas a . strong feel ! ng against me , and It was very difficult for me to get a situation .-Did you thick you were losing a situation by going away ? I thought I did . —Did you not mean that it was your interest to come here ) It was not my interest . I did not mean to say that It was . The case for the Crown having closed , the court ad . joutned . Oa resumtag the trial , Mr Butt made an able defence for theprisener , and eaiUd two wltneases , whose evidence was not material .

      The Solicitor General replied for the crown , in a speech which led to a serfen of personal altercations between himself and Mr Butt , io which the judges were repeatedly called upon to interfere . Mr Justice Crampton having consulted with Judge Terrene , expressed his intention of postponing the deli , very of his charge till the next morning , Mr Butt , before tho court rose , bogged to express bis regret at the occurrence which hud taken place . If he had said anything which could bo considered by the court as indecorous , he deeply regretted it ; and , with regard to the Solicitor Genera ! , he trusted that " tbe altercation which had taken place wou'd not ba the means of iaterrupting the friendly relations which always existed b . twees them . The court rose shortly after four o ' clock .

      tbiaii or _ a o . o Dorrr . Mr Daffy was brought to the bar on Friday and arraigned . He looked rather pale and thoughtful , seemed to have suffered a good deal from his protracted imprls nmeat . On looking round the court he recsgnlsed several friends and bowed cheerfully to thorn . The Attorney General having dlec .-v & rud that he has n > ado a mistake in his mode of proceeding , moved that the bill found by tho Grand Jury at tho Inst commission be | quashed . After some discussion , Judge Crampton entered into an examination of the several sections referred to by counsel , and expressed himself of opinion that tbe section under which tho writ of habeas corpus must be issued ten days before the holding of tbe commission , re * ferred to oases where the indictment was sought to be transferred from the city to the county .

      A long legal argument ensued at the close of which ttao diocuBokm of tho question was postponed till Saturday , when Mr Justice Crampton delivered his judgment , Wbloh was to the eftlct , that the trial ol Mr Dcffy could not be proceeded with till tho next comminslon , to be held In January .
