      IRISH ABSENTEEISM . Let parsons descant on the joys of eternity , Misers find pleasure in _vie'wing their store ; And _Socialists talk of their blessed community , _Bamblers wander to some foreign shore—Nothing shall burry me , Yex me or worry me , Working for bread as I hare done before ; I will live and be happy , And laugh at the sappy , Who dare not a vote claim because he is poor .

      Many men praise the Italian scenery , Others must go to Vienna cr Rome , To Holland or Paris , to show off their finery , _Leaving their tenantry starving at home—To see things so funny _. And spend all their money , While commerce is sinking fist into the tomb Of things that has been , II will shortly tw seen , Whether Irishmen _tamely will welcome their doom

      Has not Erin's green meadows , her gardens , and _wosds _, Safncient attrictions for freemen to prize , Or is there no charms in her mountains and floods , To constitute beauty in Irishmen ' s eyes . 0 h _, who will direct us , Support , and protect us , Unless we ourselves take the helm in our hand , And the Suffrage demand For each one in the land , Determined no more to wear slavery ' s brand .

      Irishmen ! Ireland !! awake from your slumbers , Must liberty still be confined te a class ? What utility is there in boasting of numbers , As long as you ' re shackled by fetters of brass . Then off with the chains That on yon remains ; Let your Toices be heard in one long loud hurrah While demardiDg the vote , As jour green banners float ! Cry success to the _Sufiraee , and Erin go braeh .

      The Fleet Papers. By Richard Oasxlzr. So...

      THE FLEET PAPERS . By Richard _Oasxlzr . _So . XL . We lore to see native kindness and benevolencebreaking out through the cloud of a good man ' s prejudices and pariy preference ? . This is precisely the difference between ihe patriot _acd the political partisan ; and hence we have _nnmiugated pleasure in observing tha ; , in his _u Fleet Papers , " Mr . Oastler hesitates not to tell trnth equally as boldly . to the Tories as to their predecessors . In Ms present number we find the following : —

      " I am also asked , If I approve of the delay , which bis been proposed by Sir Robert Peel , for five or six months , before the state of the nation is to be considered V _UcieaitatinglT I answer , ' No . ' Delays are always _dangerous—delay , under our present _circumstances , will be ruinous . Jhe inconsistency of Sir Robert Peel ' s first _proclaiming . he national affairs to be ia a most ruinous condition , and then demanding the immediate expulsion of those who had mismanaged them , and his own call to effice , before he ¦ would propose a remedy ; and now , vrhtn in office , refusing to attempt any restoration o- the national health until he hts received two quarters' pay , as his _prescribing fee , can meet with no defence frtni me . It may , or may not , be considered good diplomatic generalship , by mere partisans ; that is a question to be settled between the two partias , and , as parties . I shall nut interfere with than . Sir Robert "was justified in keeping silence while the Whigs retained c _£ se ; since then Me silence appears to me to be indefensible .

      " I object to any dehy . because I know that the country _cannot _safrlj _^ aii . T hese are not ordinary times ; Great Britain his , at this epoeh , reached her most perilous day of trial : she has bten driven about by the whirlwind of faction—she has almost lost her reckoning ; waves _SEd biilows , and rocks and sands , still beset her ceurae _-, she has ctanged her captain , net to slamber awhile in this _racing storm , but steadily to direct her track _towards the haven from which the biilows of party strife and filse philosophy have driven her . If Sir Robert P _^ ri has no meliorative and restorative principle to propose . I think that he would have shewn his wisdom by refusing efiice . True , he has for the moment exalted himself and his partyj but what ecu tie nation gain , if _vhe ruinous course of Whig _legislation ia to _ccxtinne another _s : _x months ?

      ' It is natural enough ' . o imagine that Sir Robert may not be : ible , all at _orce , to arrest the confuiion and ruin -which , on the _development o ! the gross _Kiiimanagemsnt of all the departments , must _ni _~ . him at every turn . it -would be _unreasenable to exr-: c : any man to be ready -wrh _sp-ecinc _censures of r _^ iirf for all that mass cf _mUgoTtrnmtEt -Rhich the Whi ? s have created . But there are general principles upon which the V . _'higs nave acted , and which have _results in the derange-Errt of a ]] onr _catena ] affairs ; and 1 cannot hide from myself tfce necessity—aye , and the _scund policy also , c _. 5 ir Robert ' s at _orce stating , ' My predecessors have _brcnEfct the empire to the- brink of ruin , because such _san such have been ; be principles upon _^ hich they hav e _art = _- _ ; I shall hop * to restore _national prosperity , by _pprcirg a very different line of policy . I shai _] fom _,. _--i iry measures of me-lkmion _ard " restoration upon inch cad such principles . 31 y _predecessors have £ _ntd

Mean-while , 1 shall _K _* _5 c : re Parl _ament to aid me in a searching _inqciry into the _condition , the disorders , and the _resources of the nation . ' xhen , Sir , it _wcuM have bees -wise and safe k > iave kept _Pariiainert together , to _havo iuily _invescgated the whole state of tte nation—to have searched v tf Cause of aU onr di - tre £ s > = ncl perhaps we _snould have discovered that the very th : cg « on which _^ e most pride ourselves—the amount cf our vast and mamdual masses of _accumulated capital—the enormous extension of our manufactures—the vast increase of our _untexed machinery , and the unparalleled amount of our foreign trade , _vtre seme of tLe causes of our rational and domestic Bufferings ; and that the very _renedy which is proposed by the Whigs for our cure , _wauid _, if administered , only _accelerare our national uissolution .

      PARLEY'S _PESXY LIBRARY . London Cleave . In introducing this cheap and elegant little substitute for the slipslop novels which too often occupy the reading hours of young people , we shall borrow from the publisher ' s addres 3 the following prospect as : — " We propose , though the medium of Familiar a > _"d interesti > g Cos VERSA TlONS , to elicit incidentally such traits of character as require correction , together with contrasting exhibitions of the nobler qualities ; and our Tales and Legends , our Poetry and _Dramatic Pieces , will -supply antidotes which , wkile they exhilarate the mind , enliven the imagination , and enlarge the understanding , will neutralise the _isrredients of many a po isoned chalice , at present so indiscriminately _circulated . But these constitute by far the least consequential portion of our scheme . Strenuous endeavours will be

      directed to the formation o / a _vigsrous taste—to the creation of a just perception of what is really beautiful , in contradistinction to tha prevailing rage for unmitigated indulgence in sanguinary horrors on the one hand , and gross buffoonery or maudlin sentimentality on the other . The rich and costly stores of the Greek and Roman classics , of the very existence of which vast numbers of the youth cf both sexes never heard , will be popularly presented to our readers by an occasional prose analysis of some celebrated author ; by which many even of those who have dog ' s-eared a school Ovid , and subsequently arrived at the distinction of applying their wretched latinity to the exposition of Greek , will derive more knowledge of the classics from one of our humble numbers than could be gathered frem all the disjointed and fra _^ mental lumber which they have heaped together in the course of their too _generally worse _th _^ n useless studies . "

      We need only add that we have seen three numbers , and _tha ; eo far the Editor has well kep _* . his promises . We may also say that it is ihe cheapest periodical we ever saw .

      TAIT'S MAGAZINE , October , 1841 . Tail opens , as might be expected , with _^ whip at Sir Robert . Hei 3 of opinion that Sir Robert is _jur-t as wi _^ e on the most of his future plans and _purposes as all the rest of the world : and , faith , we _bt-iieve him t & be ri _^ ht . In answer to tho question , " What -will Sir Robert Peel do ? " ho says , in the _commeccemem of his article : — " This question is likely now to remain for a Christmas _ptazle , or to furnish a hint for some sudden and wonderful incident , or unexpected transformation , by ono stroke of Harlequin's -wand , to the mechanist and wit who contrives the Pantomime . Sir Robert Peel ' s

      pertinacious silence has in the meanwhile given wide scope to all manner of conjectures , a few of the more probable- of which we miy particulars i . The truth is , poor Sir Robert is _himself as much at a Ioks about what he is to do , or more correctly , about what he may be able to accomplish , as any one of the _guessers . He has surrounded himself ¦ with a Cabinet , some of whom are as difficult to drive in the richt dirfction as Tipperary pigs . Even with the Duke of Wellington for an auxiliary or whipper-in , several of them are likely to prove utterly unmanageable ; and Sir Robert's best hope , at present , _seemg the ol _> 1 Whi ; j trust—the chapter of accidents ; the nnknown something that may arise during the _respite which he craves . "

      Then follows another chapter of tho " The Talented Family . " We havo then a stave on the Corn Law 3 , which , in one shape or other , prose and verse , insinuate themselves into almost every cranny of the "liberal" literature of the present time . The best thing in the nnmber is a _lengthened notice of _Disraeli ' s Amenities of Literature . "

      The Poetical Flights Of A Factory Youth....

      THE POETICAL FLIGHTS OF A FACTORY YOUTH . By Joseph Kirkham . London : Cleave , Shoe Lane , Fleet Street ; aod all Booksellers . Price One Shilling . , In a simply written kind of _autobiographical preface , the author of thiB little beok informs us that at the age of nine years , he was placed in one of those dens of disease and rampant vice , a cotton mill ; where the body and mind of youth become alike corrupted and destroyed . Surely no place could be more unfavourable to the development of poetical talent than a cotton-factory ; for there the mind is rendered callous to improvement , by the _overexertion to which the body is doomed . Yet , under the depressing circumstances of such arduous toil ; the -want of tho common necessaries of life ; the _^ deprivation of the society of those -who might ( from having received the advantages of education themselves ) , have been able to impart to him a portion of that knowledge which the budding mind of youth

      who has thus , by them , " spread a table for me in prison . " My comforts hare _abounded—my enp has overflowed—my mercies bate been " heaped up , pressed down , and running over . " " This last proof of affection has almost unmanned me . I am thankful—I am grateful to those , my friends , of the working classes . And why ? Ah , Sir , the reasons why i am thankful to them press so nnmerously and so touckingly , that I cannot speak them . To contemplate , that midst all their own unmerited and unprecedented Bufferings and privations , they still think most of what they fancy are mine , makes my heart melt , its feelings force my eyes to overflow ; my lips cannot utter what I feel , my pen eannot write what I think .

      My privations are not like theirs—I have no sufferings ? This place , to me , is more like Heaven than a prison ! I am wiser , 1 am happier , I hope that , I am _better for being here . I have no wish to leave this cell , except in God ' s own way . Should that day arrive , I could not leave it without some feelings of regret Ten such happy months were never my portion elsewhere . The face of man has never frowned upon me—the , hanh tones of his auger has never reached my ears—I have not seen a foe in . all that while ! My friends have _dustered around me > Perhaps my health ha *« ufl « red ; bat Gtod has never left me . 1 cannot give place to anxiety or fear , because his promises are- faithful . I believed them so , before I came to prison—now , I know them to be true!—No , Sir , I have not a wish to leave ; and should I die , then the working men will see to it , thai my remains shall moulder and mingle with my own Yorkshire ' s dust—I know that they wilL am

      "There is Sir , _^ principle involved— I a prisoner for debt ! 1 do not rebel , I do not complain—I submit , but I protest ! If the unconstitutional iaw thus barbarously wantons with the liberty and the life ( for that law leaves men here to starve and die ; of the subject , it also ordains , that caption pays the debt I It unjustly gives the savage murderous heart the power to choose ' body or goods , " not both . I offered you more than the law awarded , all that I had , and then my after earnings ! Tour choice fell on my body : it is yours , the law says so—flesh , blood , sinews , bones , skin—they are all your own ; and had I owed you all England's currency , the moment my body became your property , that debt would have been cancelled . _Rsmember , you did not take my body , till I had given yon all the books —books which theverdict could not award you ! They

      were not included in your claims against me , nor were they yours . I trusted to _yonrhoneur . I believed , from what I heard in Court , that we were friends . When you resolved to be- _vindictive , had honour retained her seat in _ThornhilTs breast , you would have returned the books , which were delivered up by me , umier the conviction that your anger was appeased . But , unhappily for you , yon were betrayed by those whom you believed to be your friends : thus did the false representation of my enemies and psurs , compefyou to perpetrate an act , which , when reason resumes her wonted seat , yon will regret much more than I . Your prejudices now blind yom reason , and force you to ' reward me evil for good , and hatred for my love . " Time will remove those prejudices !—hononr will once more find a home in your bosom , then all wrM be well : till then , Sir , I am willing to remain your prisoner .

      " 1 can never ( until 1 am proved to be in error ) admit the principle , that after ten months' imprisonment , a detaining creditor has any _ftlaim _^ D law but blood and bones , and sinews , and flesh and skin . " 1 hope , _Sir , that my friends will excuse me—lam grateful to them ; but I protest , on principle , againBt payment for my release ! I protest , in the name of the spirit-of the Constitution , against my , or any Englishman ' s or English woman ' s , imprisonment for debt!—necessity forces me to submit . 1 do so with some degree of priie , _knowing tha ! I sufer wrongfully ! The hand which strikes me should have been the hand to nourish ma . I hops , however , that the mistaken kindness of my friends will not force me to submit to , and then protest against , raj release . In reference to the Insolvents Debtor ' s court , Mr . _Oastler writes thus : —

      " « But , ' say you , ' why does not Oastler take the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act V An old friend of mine , a new one of yours , says , ' that you wish me to do ' ' Have you forgotten the bargain made between your attorney and mine , ' that Oastler was not to avail himself of the Insolvent Debtors' Act ? ' You remember , that it was proposed by your attorney , and agreed to by mine . " But , Sir , had no bargain been made _bstween our solicitors , 1 could not " pass through the Court , " without sanctioning the barbarism which gives you the power to imprison and starve me to death ! I am too much of an Englishman to admit that that is justice , and I can never become a trilling party to that which _ib tyranny . Were I to _regain my liberty by submission to that' law , " I should become its slave . I would much rather be an unconsenting prisoner ' inside , ' than a consenting slave at large . "

      so much thirsts for and requires ; and being surrounded by the most mournful examples of vice and _drunkenness;—he _hasftUlyby applying , hiamind in an innocent , if not a _profitable pursnit , succeeded in bringing forth a number of minor poetical effusions , which faave not only the claim of a purity of thought to recommend them to the acceptance of the reader , bat also one of chaste and well measured expression ; such as may well become " the tuneful Muse , " if not in her highest , at least in some of her happiest and most amiable moods .

      Having m the latter end of the last year a wisn to try his luck in London , two gentlemen connected with the press kindly promised that if he should determine upon doing so , they would not see _hiin starve ; but that if he would be willing to " turn his Land to anything" some small pittance should be forthcoming for him . With this prospect before him , our author left his native town and relations , to mingle with strangers , and walked the dreary journey from Manchester to London , with but nine shillings in his possession . He arrived in London in the beginning of

      September last , and since then has been apprenticed to the trade of a printer . His master having had the kindness to lend him the use of type .. and furnish him with every thing else necessary he lias composed and printed the present little volumo in his leisure hours , independently of his usual-employment ; Such are tho circumstances under . which these poetical flights are introduced to us ; and they are themselves of a character to command attention and patronage . These circumstances become doubly to teresting , when coupled , with the fact , that there is in this little pamphlet a considerable share of that most scarce article , genuine poetry and fine feeling .

      Important Intelligence From The United S...

      IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA . ARRIVAL OP THE BRITANNIA . The roya l mail steamer , Britannia , Captain Clel and , arrived at Liverpool on Thursday night . She left Boston on the afternoon of the 16 th , and Halifax on the night of the 78 th ult ., and , notwithstanding easterly gales and heavy weather , has completed the voyage in fourteen days and a few hours . She has brought only twenty-six passengers . The files of papers _received by the Britannia extend over the long space of fifteen days . Their contents are interesting and highly important . The New Fiscal Corporation Bill , the object of which was to enact ths _establishment of & national

      bank , passed the senate by a vote of twenty-seven to twenty-two . The president , however , refused to sanction the new bill , which he vetoed as he had vetoed the old one . As tho refusal of Mr . Tyler to sanction the bill had been anticipated , the actual refusal did not surprise the public , nor did it cause any popular excitement . He transmitted a message to _congress , embodying his objeetions to the bill and hiB reasons for vetoing it . The House of Representatives took the veto message into consideration ; on a division , however , the bill was lost by 103 to 80 , the constitution requiring the concurrence of twothirds of the hones to carry a measure which the president has refused to sanction by his signature . The disagreement between the president and the

      majority of the houses of congress had caused the dissolution of the cabinet , which had enjoyed tho _coafidence of _coDgress and of tho whig party at large . Messrs . Ewing , Crittennen , Badger , and Bell , sent in their resignation on Friday , the 10 th nit ., to take eifect at twelve o ' olock on Saturday . They were accepted . The president immediately nominated in their _plwe 3 Mr . Walter Forward , of _Pittsburg , Pennsylvania , to be secretary of the treasury ; Mr . H . S . Legare , of Charleston , South Carolina , to be attorney-general ; Judge Abel S . _Upshur , of Virginia , to be secretary of the navy ; and Mr . John M'Lean , judge of the Supreme _Caurt of the United States , to be secretary of war . Mr . Grainger also resigned , and Mr . Charles A . Wickliffe . of

      Kentucky , was appointed postmaster-general . The gentlemen who had resigned are said to have adopted their courses without any previous concert with Mr . Webster , but not without previous consultation with Mr . Clay . Mr . Ewing , in a letter of considerable ' ength , had stated the reasons which had influenced him in resigning office . Mr . Webster , in a short letter , assigned his for retaining it . Agreeing with the president on the foreign policy of the government , Mr . Webster considered it to be his duty not to abandon office in Ihe present critical state of the relations , it was surmised , of the United States and Great Britain . Congress had adjourned , after having perfectpd and carried out all the great measures for which the extra session , had been called , save only the bank

      bill . The g enate had confirmed , by a vote of twentythree to ninetpen , the nomination of Mr . Everett as minister to England , an appointment which had given general satisfaction . Tht trial of Mr . M'Leod was appointed to take place at Utica on Monday , the 27 th nit . Tho panel of juror 3 made out for his trial consisted , it was said , of several _quakers and others , who would , it was supposed , be disposed to view the matter in a favourable light for M'Leod . Considerable excitement had been caused at Utica from information eaid to

      havo been received by the sheriff , that some desperadoep , refugees from Canada , and others , whose exasperation again England and especially against the colonial authorities , knew no bounds , had entertained a design of carrying off M'Leod from the gaol at _Whitftborough , near Utica , and hanging him , in tho hope to render war inevitable . It was presumed , however , if the design wa 3 ever seriously entertained , that the measures which had been taken by the local and state authorities would render any such attempt hopeless . A rumour had obtained circulation , that Mr . Fox had received , by the steamer , orders to demand the instant release of M'Leod , and , if it was

      _refuped , to demand his passports ; bnt the story was generally discredited . The detention of the prisoner had been the subject of debate in the House of Representatives . Mr . Adams condemned the course which the state of New York had adopted in reference to him , and praised Mr . Websler ' _s letter to Mr . Fox . He referred to the conciliating tone assumed towards the United States by Sir Robert Peel in his address at Tamwarth , and stated his conviction , that while the rights and the honour of the country would be firmly and _fnlly maintained , peace would be preserved so long as Daniel Webster was secretary of state .

      The city of Cincinnati had been the scene of lawless violence and sanguinary conflict . The riots which had disgraced that city had their origin in the strong _feeling which the efforts of the friends of negro emancipation had caused . A mob of whites collected and proceeded to the negro quarter for the purpose of attacking the blacks . The negroes , who , having expected the attack , were armed , fired on the _whitesj some of whom were killed and more woundod . The assailants immediately fled , pursued by the victorious blacks . For several days the city was the scene oi riot ; but tho civil power having been reinforced the rioting was quelled and great numbers of blacks apprehended . Tho House of Representatives had been the scene

      of a general riot . In a discussion on the Diplomatic Bill Mr . Stanley twitted Mr . Wise with inconsistency in opposing the amendment of the senate , striking out of the list the mission to Naples , seeing that , last session , he had worked hard in favour of _dispensing with the mission to Mexico , or , at least , in favour of reducing the appropriations for it . Mr . Wise remarked , that the mention of this matter was prompted by a spirit of' * little malevolence . " Mr . Stanley admitted that the allusion was of malice aforethought . As soon as Mr . Stanley sat down , Mr . Wise crossed the hall to him . Words took place , the lie was giveD , and Mr . Wise struck Mr . Stanley . A violent conflict ensued . The fight became general , members of both parties attacking

      each other with the fiercest determination . The affair threatened for several minutes goneral bloodshed . Amongst those who were seen in the raoht violent contest , each grappling at the other's throat , were Mr . Arnold , of Tennessee , and Major Butler , of Kentucky , Mr . Wise , and Mr . Stanley , the original combatants , were lost sight of amidst the now numerous conflicting parties . Order was at length restored . Explanations and apologies followed , and , on the following day , the quarrel between the two gentlemen , which had threatened to end in a duel , wae , by the intervention of friend ? , amicably adjusted . A committee of the house had investigated the affair and reported on the subject , recommending certain regulations for the futuro guidance of members during the _debases of a personal nature .

      A more minute account of the " scene" is given by the reporter of the Intelligencer , as follows : — While Mr . _Fillmore w & s in tho midst of a sentence , the reporter ( who nad noticed Mr . Wise cross over to the seat of Mr . Stanley , and had observed those two gentlemen in conversation , apparently of a Tory excited nature , ) saw Mr . wise raise _hii hand violently , and aim a blow at the / ace of'Mr . Stanley , who as instantaneously met or returned it . A violent fight followed , and in less time than it can be described in this report , a scene of mingled uproar and fight , such as the reporter in many years' experience has never witnessed on the floor of the bouse , ensued . Messrs . Wise and Stanley were lost to the sight of the reporter in the general rush , while Mr . Arnold , of Tennessee , and Mr . Butler , of Kentucky , were noticed in a violent personal struggle , striking at and grappling with each other . Mr . Dixon , H .

      Lewis , and Mr . Gilmer , and others , were seen in the midst , endeavouring to quell the disturbance , which had now reaohed a point at which it seemed impossible to arrest its progress . The members had rushed from all parts of the hall , some rushing over , and others standing upon , the tables , literally piling themselves one on the other * and several eanes were seen by the reporter raised as if in the act of striking . The speaker during ibis time had resumed the chair informally , but no one paid the least regard to his voice , and he called in vain on the officers , noneof whom were observed by the reporter , with the exception of the doorkeeper , who was endeavouring to close the doors and windows against the crowd from without , Who attempted to _nrah within the nalL The general melee ( of which the reporter was taking notes ) continued for about three minutes . It _thfn subsided , though by what direct'process the reporter oould not understand ; but ho heard the voice of Mr . Wise , who had returned to ; his seat , addressing the chair . '

      The direotor of the bank of the United States had made an assignment of most of the Valuable assets to the following gentlemen :- > James _Robertaon , president ; J . S . Newboldj a director ; Richard Bayard , Delaware ; Thomas ; S . Taylor , cashier ; 'and Herman _ Cope , assistant-cashier . The course now adopted by the board of directors had , it was understood , been rendered necessary by the great number of suits instituted against the bank . These events were absorbing the funds of the bank , and it was thought that the directors had consulted and protected the interests of the noteholders and stockholders by the course they had followed . With

      this _assignment the banking business necessarily closed . The shares in the institution , which sold at 13 on the 1 st ult ., had fallen to 6 $ , and were offered freely at that rate . The assignment of the property of the bank had induced holders of stock to _realiza at any price , the universal opinion being that there would not be enough property left to enable the bank to pay its debts , andi consequently , that the stockholders will lose everything . The notes were selling at from 30 to 35 per cent , discount . The exchang e oil England , per the Britannia , was 10 ° _i , at which a fair business had been done . On Pans , tho rate was 5 f 20 o ; Holland , 40 A ; Hamburg , 36 _^ to _|; Bremen , 78 $ to 79 .

      The intelligence from Canada is of a painful kind . Lord Sydenham had been thrown from his horse , by which accident he was severely bruised , and his leg broken in two places . The latest bulletin of his excelleney _' s health was not favourable ; he Buffered a restless night , and had shown symptoms of returning gout . The House of Assembly , with four dissentients , had voted an address of condolence to his Lordship . r > - ¦ . . The Canada legislature had rejected , by 40 to 29 , the Governor General ' s project of a government bank . The session was just on the eve of dosing .

      A Man Killed By A. Tohacco Pipk.—An Inqu...

      A Man killed by a . Tohacco Pipk . —An inquest was held on Saturday forenoon , at the Cumberland Head , City Road , before Mr . Baker , the Coroner , on the body of George Joliffe , aged 29 , a shoemaker of Graham ' s Buildings , St . Luke ' s , whose death was caused in the following singular manner : —It appeared , according to the evidence of Mary Joliffe , that on Tuesday night , the 21 st ult ., she was following the deceased , her husband , home from a publichouso in Twister ' s Alley , St . Luke ' s , when he accidentally trod upon his boot-lace , and fell forward on the ground . He was smoking a short tobacco pipe at the time he fell , and when he arose he had great difficulty in pulling it from his mouth ; but she did not then know that it had been , by the force of the fall , driven into the flesh , and that a piece of it remained there . The following morning he ate a hearty breakfast , and in a shor t time afterwards

      was interrupted in his work by a pain in his throat . Tne pain increased , and recollecting the circumstance of his accident , he went to St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital , where his mouth , which was by that time _greatly swollen , was lanced , but ho was not even then certain of the cause of the pain . On Tuesday last , she took him to St . Luke ' s Workhouse , where he was immediately received , put to bed , and attended by the surgeon . The swelling in the mouth and throat gradually increased , and on Thursday last he died of strangulation . Deceased , at the time he fell , was intoxicated . Mr . Thomas Ranee , the workhouse surgeon , said that he opened and examined the deceased ' s head , and , without much trouble , found in the back part , near the throat , a piece of tobacco pipe , about two inches in length . That was sufficient to cause death . Verdict , " Accidental death . "

      Mail Accident . —On Sunday afternoon last , ' as the mail was on its way from Shap to Kendal , and to that par : ; of the road called Huck ' s Brow , owing in not having the drag on the horses got into a gallop , and tho driver , Thomas Marton , in vain endeavoured to pull them up . The _passengers became alarmed , and one gentleman , Mr . Hare , scrambled over the luggage and dropped down at the back of the coach . He was severely stunned by the shock he sustained in coming in contact with the ground , and was obliged to stay for some days under medical treatment at Kendal . After Mr . Haro had dropped from ihe coach it proceeded about 100 yards further to a turn in the road , when one of the wheelers fell . The coach was at this time upon part of the wall bounding the road , and it is thought that if the wheeler had not fallen at the very moment it did ,

      tho coach would have been precipitated over the low wall into the valley below . Its _legs were broken , and it was thought proper to kill it immediately . The other wheeler was also seriously hurt , and rendered comparatively of no value . They both belonged to Mr . Richardson , of Shap , who it is said , will sustain a loss of upwards of £ 40 . Two other gentlemen leaped from the coach the moment tho wheeler fell , and sustained no injury , as it was at that time nearly at a stand ; the one leaped upon the other . The coach was driven to Kendal by one of tho guards , and the driver was left on tho road . _Ou the same day , in the same coach , and with the same driver , another horse was seriously injured by coming in contact with a cow , upon the road between Plumpton and _Penrith . Tho d river is the same person who was thrown oft' tho coach at Lancasterbridge and seriously hurt , gome months back .

      Rascally Treatment of Emigrants . —On Thursday a party ot emigrants , eleven in number , from Stroud , in Gloucestershire , waited on Mr . Ballantine , at the Thames Police-office , to complain of the conduct of the people connected with the ship _Himalaya ,-Henry Burn , commander , then on her weigh down the river to Port Philip and Sydney . It appeared , from the statement of the emigrants , that their passage was engaged on board the Himalaya , and they went iuto the St . Katharine ' s Dock about eleven o ' clock , as the ship was about to get under way , and wore told they could not come on board then , _and-must wait a little while , although there was uo _reasou why they should not have gone on board at ouco . Soon afterwards'tho ship began to

      haul out of the dock , but no notice was taken of them , nor were they allowed to enter the ship . They then went round to the lock entrance to me & t the ship as it was coming out , aud upon the _swivelbridgo being opened , the vessel remained in the lock some time , close alongside the quay , and they could easily have stepped on board , and wero preparing to do so , when they were forced back by the Captain and others , who used the most gross language towards them , and declaring they could not come on board until the ship reached Gravesend . A married woman with her chiM was , however , assisted on board by a relative , and had no sooner got on deck than she . was rudely assailed , and a man laid hold of her , dragged her along with brutal violence , and

      forced her outside the ship . She stood upon the rail arid clung to the _rigging , screaming violentl y , whilo the feliows upon deck , unmindful of her perilous situation , endeavoured to shove her back upon the pier , and one man held up her child with the intention of throwing it to the people on the quay , who hissed , hooted , groaned , and called out " Shame shame ! " A scene of the greatest confusion ensued , in tho midst of which the ship made a sheer off , rendering the situation of the poor woman still _rnoio perilous . The Captain _of the _vessel then called out , " Let her stop , I'll serve them out for it , " and she was dragged upou deck and pushed about in a brutal maner . The applicants could hot succeed in reaching the vessel ; and

      after meeting with a good deal of abuse were told to join the Himalaya at Gravesend . They had , however , no means of reaching that place , or sufficient to purchase a meal , and they humbly implored tho magistrate to assist them and to interfere in their hehalf so as to secure them from ill-treatmont during the voyage , which they were fearful might be exercised towards them after the threats mado use of by the persons in authority on board tho Himalaya . Mr . _Ballantine said the poor emigrants must not be left behind , and he thought more kindness might have been pursued toward numbers of individuals about to leave their native country for a distant land . He asked who were the agents of the ship . The emigrants handed up a card , from which it appeared that _Masson and Hoggins , a very respectable firm in Lime-street-square , were the agents a nd bankers of the Himalaya , and it was

      stated they were not likely to tolerate such misconduct as that complained of . Mr . Ballantine direoted Blaby _. 'the chief usher of the Court , to take charge of the emigrants , to see them on board a Gravesend steamer , and pay their passage , give them a dinner , and present to each or them Gd . to pay a boatman to convey them from the steamer , on her arrival at Gravesend , to the Himalaya . He also directed Blaby to wait upon the agents , and inform them of what had occurred . lie expected that no harshness would be exhibited towards any of the emigrants in consequence of this complaint . Tho applicants , consisting chiefly of young men and women , expressed their gratitude to the worthy and humane magistrate in a way not to be misunderstood , and left the Court with the officer . The brutality exercised towards the female who nearly lost her life , was witnessed by one hundred and fifty people on the quay , and the police . The dock-men and othera joined in loud expressions of indignation .

      A Man Killed By A. Tohacco Pipk.—An Inqu...

      Thb _Ibjsh Distillers . —The distillers of Ireland have had a very large meeting , which continued two successive days—Tuesday and , Wednesday last —for the purpose of bringing before the _Goyernmeat the depressed condition of their trade , arising from the state of the law as regards the intercourse between England , Ireland , and Scotland , and also for considering what steps should be taken to obtain redress . / ¦ ¦ , _-. _- _..,-,, .. ¦ . SuNDERLiND . —Poor Alderman Thompson , so recently the idol of the Tories of Sunderiand , has fallen under the ban of bis old worshippers . His political flirtations have grave names applied to them by the Tory magnates of that venerable borough ; his portrait is no longer to ornament the

      Exchange Buildings ; nor are his arms to direct the thirsty traveller to where the best treble X . is to be obtained . The Tories of Suaderland do not like being jilted by suoh every-day catches as the Aldermatt , and they show the _bitterness'df their mortification by removing from their ., _sight ; everything calculated to remind' of a connexfon / not over and above credi able to . any / of , the _parties / 'concerned . Thasat ; apa . b ! id ' _pAe _^{ i _^' of ! 'the ! Sun 4 erland '* T 6 'i > ie _3 , held on the 19 th uli ,, the folio tving resolutions were unanimously adopted : — "That this' _nieetirig are of opinion , that the conduct of Mr . _Alderman Thompson has been unconstitutional , and highly detrimental to the interests of the borough . "— " That the portrait of the Alderman be immediately withdrawn

      from the Exchange Buildings , and that the satne be submitted for sale toy public action . "—* ' That Mr . Horner be instructed to remove ihe Alderman ' s Arms from his building _,, and to adopt the title of * Homer ' s Commercial Hotel / " These resolutions were advertised at theexpeiice of the meeting , but as we would not have the character of the Alderman among the Tories confined to the Conservative Journals , we insert them for nothing . The picture , with two hundred engravings from it , are also advertised to be sold ; but as there is nobody in Sunderland to bid a penny for them , the borough had better make a present of them to Lord _LontherV All parties are now sick of the Alderman , whose person and picture are equally a drug in the Tory market .

      True Conservatism . —A truly popular Parliament we conceive would be the most strictly Conservative body in the world , for it would make the foundation of all its legislation rest upon preserving to each man his own . It would put down all inroada and invasions of another mau ' s property , securing from all attacks whether of force or of fraad , the fruits of man s labour whether of head or of hands—and most surely would it examine into the nature of all impositions , shams , humbugs , quackeries , and pretensions by ffhioh . society is now gulled , and by which so much that , ia idle aud worthless usurps the place of reality . "Money for money ' s worth , and vice versa , " would be a law which would reduce to nonentity many a lord , bishop , agricultural game-preserver , Whig patriot , lawyer , doctor , able editor , idler , & c .

      Death op a Wealthy Miser . —On Monday morning last Mr . Robert Smith , who was by trade a smith , died at his late residence , No . 12 , Groat St . Andrew street , Seven Dials , in the possession of funded , freehold , and leasehold property , it is stated , to the amount of nearly £ 400 , 000 . He wa 3 of the most singular habits from early life , and was left a considerable sum of money by his father , with which he speculated in the funds and in building houses , his speculations turning out almost always to advantage . In the neighbourhood of MorningtoncresceHt he built between 150 and 200 houses , besides having many other houses in different parts of the town . His property in the funds is believed to exceed £ 100 , 000 . He was born in the house in which he died , and resided in it throughout his life , be ng

      about seventy years of age . Though possessed of this immense wealth , hia habits were most penurious . His mode of living was scarcely sufficient to support nature . He had no servant , but a woman used to come occasionally to char . His _neighbours knew little of him , as he had no associates . His house exhibited the appearance of a tenant not provided with the means of keeping it in _deient repair , ' and the windows were cleaned about twice a year . He has loft a brother and sister . The former will inherit the property , as he has left no will . The latter , who was early " crossed in love , " was allowed by him £ 1 a week . She is a woman also of the most eccentric habits . Mr . Smith once held the office of oveweer of the parish of St . Giles , in which he was a resident .

      Total Destruction Kinmel Hall , the Seat of Lord Dinobben . —The mansion of Lord Dinorben . at Kinmel-park , near St . Asaph , was totally destroyed by fire last week . Wo _understand that soon after ten o _' clook on Monday night it was discovered that her ladyship ' s dressing-room was on fire , and that the flames had already gained somo height . Immediately after the discovery an alarm was given throughout the mansion , and happily none of the domestics had retired to rest , so that they all directed their efforts to quench the flames , but , we regret to ' add , without effect . The firo had obtained such an ascendancy as to bafflo all their endeavours , and from there not being any _eagines for many miles around , nothing could be done to arrest the

      fury of tho flames , which continued their devastating ravages until five o'clock next morning , leaving the superb mansion and its costly furniture a heap of ashes . The inhabiiants of Llan St . S : ora , Aberj ; eley , and St . Asaph , were greatly alarmed , the conflagration illuminating the country for many miles around , and although hundreds of persona were willing to reader all tho assistance possible , all their exertions con ' . d not prove of the slightest use . Tho furniture and other property saved is comparatively small to that which fell a sacrifice to the flames , and we understand the family plate is buried in the ruins , as also her ladyship's jewellery . The greater portion of his lordship ' s valuable library and MSS . were rescued at an early stage of the fire , as we are informed . Lord and Lady Dinorbea have been

      obliged to take up their residence at his Lordship s land steward ' s , Mr . Murray . Lady Gardner , who was staying with her noble father , has lost everything , and is compelled to sleep at the dairy for the present . The servants of the establishment have had all their apparel consumed . The fire appears to have originated through the carelessness of her _ladyship ' s maid leaving a candle too near the furniture of the dressing room . Their royal highnesses the Prince and Princess of Capua were to leave Richmond eariy in the ensuing week for the purpose of staying several _weeka with the noble lord and lady , and other visitors were also invited . It will be a serious loss to his lordship , for it is said the whole of tho property was uninsured , and it is computed £ 35 , 600 will not cover the damage done .

      _Attempt at Mubdeb . —St . Alban ' s , Mo . ndat , Oct . 4 th . —This morning the town was thrown into a state of great excitement by a report that a young woman had been murdered at an obscure public-house , called the Boot , by a soldier , with whom she cohabited . On inquiry it was ¦ found that there was but too much foundation for the report , for although the girl is not- dead , the injury she has reeeived is so great that but slight hopes are entertained of her recovery . At twelve o ' clock , Mr . Rumball , the mayor , and Messrs . LipBCombe , Coles , Osboldiston _, aud Kindar , borough magistrates , assembled at the Town-hall to investigate the affair . The accused party was in custody . His name is Jabtz Kirk ; be is about 18 years of age , belongs

      to the 74 th Regiment of Foot , and presented a most unprepossessing appearance . The following evidence furnishes tho main facts of the case : —John Lacy , one of the borough police , proved being sent for , about a quarter before seven o ' clock this morning , to the Boot public-house , in the Abbey pariah . On entering the house , the landlord informed him that a soldier had committed murder in his house . On _^ _-oing up stairs to » bed room , the prisoner met him at the door and said , ' * Lacy , take me ; I have cut her throat , " pointing at the same time to the girl Pearoe , who was lying on a bed _iu the room the prisoner came out of . Witness immediately _soiztd him by tho two wrists , and sat him on another bed in the same room . He trembled very

      much , and the upper part of his person was covered with blood . He had no shirt on , only his trousers and _ehoes . His faoe was so much covered with blood that he couU scarcely distinguish his features . There was no b ' ood on his trousers . Witness a ked the prisoner what ho had done it with 1 he replied , with a razor , and that it was on the bed where the woman was lying . Ho looked among the bedclothes for the razor , but could not find it , when Jane _Ptarce pulled the bed up a little as well as she could , and between the bed and mattrass he found the razor he produced . [ The witness produced the razor , which was covered with blood . ] He asked the prisoner if he had any reason for committing the act , but he shook his head and mado no answer . The prisoner

      also pointed out to witness his shirt . On being produced , it was found to be covered with blood , and very much torn . The quantity of Wood on the left side was the greatest . The prisoner washed himself in witness ' s presence , but had no wounds on his own person . He saw Jane Pearce lying on a bed with her throat very much out : There was also £ cut on the right arm , another on the right _hwdag d several more on her left shoulder ; while the bed and the room bore ample traces of the prisoners crime . Robert Thorpe , a private in the 73 d Foot , proved that he and the pr isoner were stationed with ft refirnitinir _oartv at St . Alban ' s . He lent the razor ,

      produced by the policeman , to the prisoner for him , to show on inspection , as he had lost bis own . He knew it to be tho same , as it bore his regimental mark and number-viz ., E 73 , 320 . Mr . Webster , a surgeon , residing at St . Alban ' s , proved being called in about a quarter before sevea this morning , to attend Pearce . Me found her in bed with her throat out and other injuries , and it was evident to him , from the nature and number of the Wounds , that they could not have been inflicted by herself . He found two or three wounds on the left shoulder , one on the cheek , and a wound upon the left ear , obliquely running to the right side of the neck . It was deep and jagged , and had evidently bees inflicted during a violent

      struggle . This wound was seven inches long , and had divided the muscles of the jugular vein , and wounded the trachea , without , however , cutting it through . There had been before his arrivalconsiderable hemorrhage , which had subsided ; _ift _' again , however , took place to snch on extent that he Had been fearful of the patient being suffocated ; it had again , however , subsided . He also found that the tendons of the inside of the right hand had been cut . Mr . Webster con eluded his evidence by stating at as his opinion the girl was not iu a fit state to be examined . The magistrates then committed the prisoner for further examination . It was stated in tne court that the- prisoner is a runaway apprentice from Coventry , and that he has been in the army nine months . No probable motive has been assigned . About six o ' clock the prisoner came down stairs , and took up a pint of beer for himself , and * boktte of ginger * beer for the girL ¦ -

      Dreadful Accident on the London and Brighton Railway—Four Lives Lost , ahd mant p ersons Dangerously Wounded . —On Saturday about twelve o ' clock , an extensive crain _, propelled by two engines , left _Brighton for London , and . proceeded safelyuntil it arrived' at Hay ward ' s-heath , where from some cause not ascertained it met with the following _upsot . The first engine , got off the line , and drew after it the tender and four carriages belonging to the train . Tha , engine was dashed to atoms , and . the-engine driver and the engineer were Killed on the spot . The tender and the four carriages were knocked to pieces , two of the passengers were also killed , three others were dangerously wounded , and many more , it is stated , havo received severe

      contusions and wounds . It is stated that owing to the great fall of ' rain during the past week , the foundation of the railway somewhat swelled , and hence the rail , in a slight degree , bulged out of its proper position . Under such circumstances an accident would most likely ensue . The passengers by 4 hu train , which ought to have reaohed town by half-past two , did not arrive at the terminus until eight o ' clock , p . m . The sufferers were removed to Crawley , and other places , for medical assistance . The place where the accident occurred is about 17 miles from Brighton . At six o ' clock tho superintendent dispatched an engine to ascertain the case of the non-arrival of the train , and upon its return with the melancholy intelligence , some of the Directors immediately started to ascertain the real cause of the mishap .

      One of the proprietors of the ; first hotels in Dublin decamped in the early part of last week , leaving the late owner of tne house in question minus £ 6 , 000 , besides owing large sums amongst numerous other creditors . The absconding party was hitherto deemed a person of strict probity , and has carried off property to the amount of £ 28 , 000 , leaving his creditors minus that amount amongst them ..

      CORPORAL PUNISHMENTS IN PRISONS SIXTH REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF _PRISONS FOR THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN DISTRICT . . , . ([ Extracts . ] to the most noble the marquis of normanby , THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME

      DEPARTMENT . _Strand-on-the-Green , Aug . 17 . Mi Lord , — -I have the honour to submit tin your Lordship my Annual Report upon the state of Prisons , visited by me in the Northern and Eastern District of England , in 1840 . * * * * The manner of inflicting corporal punishment in gaols appears very objectionable . I am of opinion the number of lashes , the time of punishment , and the instrument should be defined , and tho attendance of a surgeon rendered imperative by legal enactment . The consequences of such not being the case are , that the keepers of prisons have nearly absolute power in the execution of this sentence ; and that the method varies in almost every prison " at least in the great majority of those

      ¦ w hich come under my Observation : for Instance , in one the whipping of prisoners ia carried to the utmost extent of severity , and to the number of eight or ten dozen lashes ; in another not more than ten or twelve lashes are given , and with a lightness which makes the sentence nominal . The time when the sentence is to be carried into effect is also generally left to the discretion of the keeper . In one house of correction punishment takes place the day previous to a prisoner ' s discharge , a practice which I have strongly recommended to be discontinued , niore particularly as the whipping ordinarily inflicted there is

      severe , and must therefore greatly add to the already too numerous obstacles in the way of discharged prisoners obtaining employment . In some prisons the scourge in use is similar to that in the army ; in others to the navy ; in another it is a simple school-rod . I have occasionally found these instruments improper from their weight and _siz _9 , and have considered it my duty to recommend the use of others less severe . The fact of whipping being now almost confined to delinquent boys , many of whom are little above the age and appearance of children , appears to me to call for the exercise of greater circumspection in the infliction , and which , from _personal observation , I am satisfied it

      requires . 1 have most particularly to solicH your Lordship's attention to the subject of juvenile delinquency at Liverpool , and to the remarkable testimony it contains of the serious consequences arising from the low and debasing _character of the public amusements which are provided for the entertainment of the humbler classes , and particularly for those of younger years . I cannot too _strougFy recommend the extension of the _powers of the Metropolitan Police Act , to towns containing a large population , whereby some centroi may be exercised over these sources of _corruption . _Willtam John Wrr , r . rAMS , Inspector of Prisons .
