The M Division, Was Brought Before Mr Se...
the M division , was brought before Mr Seeker , charged with stealing a gold watch , value eighteen guineas , from the person of Mr Thomas Cramp , a grocer in Trinity -stree t , and Lewis Da ^ is , a Jew clothes aaleman , was charged as tho receiver . Tbe complainant stated that he carried on the business of a grocer in Trinity-street , Southwark , for his brotfcer , who lived in tbe same street , and at whose house he realied- That on Sunday night , the 23 rd ult , being out late , instead of going to his brother ' s to disturb the family , he went down a yard at the rear of the premises in which omnibuses were kept , and getting into < ne of them lay down and fell asleep . The next morning , about five o clock , he was awoke by Price , the policeman , and another constable , the former of whom said to the latter . Here ' s another pot , ' meaning , as complainant believed , that he was to ( rive j | | , ' i ,
them a pot of porter for finding him in that situation and not taking him to the statioa-house . The complainant proceeded at great length to state how he bad afterwards discovered that his geld watch and his hat had been stolen , and how Price had subsequently restored to him part of the property , alleging that he had found it . John Wright , policeman , G 3 M ., stated the circumstances under which he found Price and Davis together , in the act of weighing the gold watch case . Tbe improbable account which Davis gave of the cause of his having it in his possession led him to ask if it was not from Price that he bad received it ? Divis hesitated , and on his saying that he must accompany him to tbe stationbouse , burst into tears , and confessed that he had received it from Price . Upon Price being charged with this circumstance , he admitted that it was so , said that it was a bad job , and that he supposed he should get transported . Mr Seeker committed both prisonera to take their trials at the Guildford
agnizes . The Strike op Engine'Drivers on the North Western Railway . —This strike , we are informed , is not for wa : es , but from a suspicion that a cow classification of payme t to which tbe men have recently been subjected is intended to affect their wages indirectly , and to bring them in the matter more completely under the control of their superintendent . They desire to be paid on the old scale of remuneration , under which a driver had 6 s , per day for six months ; after he had driven his engine for six months his pay was increased to Gi . 61 . per day for the nest sis months ; to 1 * . for the year following ; and afterward s he had an additional 2 d . per day per annum , until Ms WBgefl amounted to 8-. per day . A fireman , when he was
promoted to the situation of driver , had 5 i . per day for the first six months ; 63 . per day for the fol lowing half-year : 61 . 81 . pep day lor the next twelve months ; 7 s . per day when he had been a driver for two years , and then 21 . per dayper annum until his wagea reached 8 a . per day . The new classifloation and payment is aa follows : —Speoial-clasa . number limited to 20 drivers , at 8 a . per day ; first-class , lim ? tet ! f , ! . ^ Gi - P dft y : second-class , li-S , lt ^ d t ° 30 > at 7 , - P " day 5 third-class , limited to 30 , 63 . Gd . per day : fourth-class , limited to 20 , at 5 s . Gd . per day . There are 20 firemen at 4 s . per day ; 80 at 3 j . 9 J . per day ; 20 at 3 a . 6 d . per day ; 30 at 3 s . 3 d . per day ; and 20 at 33 . per day . It ia stated by the authorities that the previous average of an engine-driver ' s wages was £ 1 18 s . 9 d ., and that the average under the classified system is £ 2 Is . 9 d . ; and that the average wages of the firemen have by it been advanced from 19 a . 9 < 3 . to £ 1 Is .
The men adm \ t that the average payment under the classified ( new ) system ia higher than it was immediately before the introduction of auoh system ; but they fear that the Io 39 motive superintendent may , by the dismissal of men from the ' special class' for alleged neglect or misconduct reduce the prescribed number , twenty , to ten , or five , or one ; and that he may at his discretion reduce the proscribed thirty of the ' first class' in the like proportion . Another objection to the classified system ia that it doea away , in a great | deg « e . with the old practice of increasing tbe wages of the men in proportion to the periods of their respective services , and that a driver or a fireman may remain in the lowest class , and receive the lowest pay , for years . Their superintendent , on the contrary , asserts that the system has been devised as much for the benefit of the men themselves as for the proper working of the Uaflfo

England And. Ireland. To Tbe Editor Of T...
ENGLAND AND . IRELAND . TO TBE EDITOR OF TBE NOETHIBN STAB . glR xbat from England has come Ireland ' s degrada tioo to a candid mind little need be said ; and to tbi bigoted and prejudiced roach would be of no avail . The formation of society depends upon kindred sympathies , and interests The formgr being in theii nature less complex , nothing bat associating with tbeii fellows is necessary to excite thtm , and for peace anc for war , instinctively and spontaneously , a bond of unior is formed . Havleg participated in the pleasures of eact other * amusements and trials , and In the simple relation ! of life aai in 'he chace , the combat , and the- danoo , one son ? , and feast , from jouth to age , thu anion is one ol friendship . This is tbe nnion of families , and clans , and primitive kingdom * .
Bat when society becomes more dense this feeling ; oi friendship gives way to one of interest , which In proportion to its justness ia philantbrop ' e , anticipating thai friendly sym pathies shall again associate , mankind . The line of separation Is yet untold , and it is a period ol fraud , oppresiion , and blood—a period In which all the passions , all the sentiments , all tbe faculties of the mind , have been perverted for gain . It Is the anion of Interest , a villanous bond , full of deception and fraud , and all manner of uncleunliness . Emphatically it is the bondage of selfishness . And this is what is now called civilisation . A union that holds society is bondage , every man hold , ing his fellow in suspicion , every man setting a valne on his comrade . Friendship is measured by gold—for a sinister purpose the band is grasped , Oh ! for 0 moment of those good old times , when man In bis primeval ferest In friendship grasped in truth the hand of man .
AUoitistho periodoflaws . Toset bounds toetlfiab .. nees , punish fraud , and determine rights—to protect itstlf from anarchy and annihilation—society hero requires laws . Without them It can have no prosperity , for with , out them it can have no protection . For friendship , justice , kindness , the charm and the virtues of primitive times , now have no place on earth ; that is in sincerity ; there remain nothing but laws to r « nder society
protperous . At onca then it must appear , of what vast Importance laws are in this intermediate state ( for I cannot restrain myself from expressing my conviction , that a period will come when fidelity , and friendship , and virtue shall take the place of lswg , as a bind of union of society , in very deed ) . At once i t must be seen the fate of a people is de . termined by their laws , and hence the great importance of laws being really the people ' s laws—laws adapted to ihelr wants , circumstances , and prospects . And hence we must see tho very canker at the core la bad laws , sad thence we can presume , and justly : Are a people poor , degraded , hopeless , stationary ; is tbe atmosphere of mis . fortune forever surrounding them—the cause Is bad law . Laws , or rather tho cspriee of a family tjrant , is enough to blast a people . But woe to the land whose tyrant is a stronger woe—woe to the people who have fallen a prey to conquest .
Then do we find a people degraded , poverty stricken and hopeless . Are they stationary , and all around them right in advance on tbe road of proaperlty—have they fallen a prey to a conquiror , or have tniy lost their le . gislatUe liberty—then what shall we blame , but their fate of falling a prey to a conqueror \ Nothing I can imnglne , and nothing can redeem them , but tbe restoration of legislative liberty . Nothing can save such a people but the privilege of ascertaining their own laws . For to perfect tho social fabric laws are all in all to a people , and all history attests by tbo cbaotic career of tbe bunas stream of life , without this power of legislating for itself society cannot be happy . For what is tha history of man but tho history of misfortunes ? No prophet , nor seer nor sage , nor lawgiver , ever lived , aer ever shall , into whose heart shall enter the conception of the whole sympathies of man , nor into his head can flow the perception of the law of man , —society requires it , and from society only can it proceed , All society only knows tbe law of man .
On these broad principles we caa conniently assert Ireland ' s degradation has come from its Norman oppressor , and until she has her legislative liberty prosperous she will nev » r be . A enrsory glance at her history gives fatal confiraoa . tion of tbe conclusion . Hen in their primitive state took possession of the earth without appropriating It , One step more and they took possession of It in the name and for tbe mutual bsneflt of a tribe . But still there was no personal potsessions . It was common property , —each to obtain his share of its produce having allotted duties to perform , from tbe chief down to 'he humblest of tbe tribe , This bead at Drst fathers , nut chiefs , and then kings . But still the primitive compact was undissolved , or , at least ,
only partially so . For although the kingly prerogative was the way in which the compact was broken , still , In its origin , over its own eurjects , in practice thin compact mainly prevailed . This Ulog was elective ; they could not tolerate an irresponsible head , Hereditary mo . narohy could not consequently exist , neither could personal estates , —all was for all . In this position Ireland was found by England . As an auxiliary , a Norman king went orer to an Irish king in war with another , and true to tbe character of his race , —valorous , ropacious , and remorseless , — -he determined tbe fate of the war , and after that thought himself might as well be king of Ireland . The idea was at once promptly executed , but it « quired generations to realise it . It was long before the kins / f t of England , were more than nominally kings of Ireland .
To accomplish tho subjugation of Ireland , the ordinary conduct of the conqueror was pursued when extend , ing bis dominion . A colony was planted In Ireland , a fruitful source at all time " , at the cost of all justice , human and divine , and of disaster to the prior inhabitants . This colony was tho central point from which dominion was extended — Inroad follows inroad , confiscation , confiscation , till tbe soil of all Ireland is transferred to thefoHowursof the invader—at least nimteen twentieths of it fell 10 , ' And in so falling tbat which made It eepadally galling to the Irish nation was , that the new possessors claimed the soil as personal estates—' . hereby abolishing the primitive compaat , and eonsiquentlv by
Imposing new conditions , exacting of them fresh acknowledgments and services . Hence , arose tbe remorseless and inextinguishable hatred of tbe Irish peasants to their landlords . Then as now , he only appeared on hie possessions to fall a viciim to tfce hatred of the primitive possessor of the soil . Hence , the cry cf the Irish , when now turned out of their mud hovels— ' D . d not our forefathers win this land from the forests , wilderness and fen , from a state of wildnccs to a state of cultivation ; bad he not then a more righteous claim on this soil thaa tho tool of an invader V Tbe ancient heads of them are annihilated , but the hatred of the Irish peasant still pursues and will burn with a measure of justice , till bis claims are attended to .
This colony was the ruler of Ireland , whoever might be plenipotentiary for the conquoror ; tbey were tbe loyal subjects—trusty servants and valiant soldiery , and by them tho justice that was administered , was administered , Soon to them , and In the end hardly even to them , Ireland was only prosperous , for it Is the evil fate of vice , to be self-destroycd ( thank God for tbat ) . Then , to these political and judicial par . ialities , and these aggressive depredations , the fire-brand of religious strife was thrown in , exciting its envenomed hates . Alas ! alas !
f- > r Ireland . More horrid thsn tho fiery furnace of E , ypt , has been tho furnaoo of thy a ffli ctions . In thine own bouse—in thine own land , the foot , of the oppressor is on thee . But cheer up , and hope . For by tho feeling of excited justice in tha breast of the oppressed English democrat , and by the strength of , tbioeown devotion for thy deliverance , peace , liberty , prosperity and happiness shall yet have their residence In the pleisnnt Isle—Hibernia . The soogofj > s shall yet resound from coast to coast , across a land at present so sad ant desolate .
Oae word to Englishmen and I am done—our way is clear before us . Either we can sanction the deeds of our foref- there , by being heirs of the orT . cts of their oppressions , or wt can condanm their oppressions and restore to our uttermost ability , the spoils of the wronged —our condemnation or our acquittance is in our own hands . The choice is with us . ^ For by tbe natural moral law , do we inherit tbe fruits of oppression , we shall bo punished for the oppression—' the receiver it . as bad as the thief . ' It is therefore criminal , if not to do justice to Ireland—net to restore her what v > e cannot to do that measure of justice to her in our power . But , without thinking of the punishment awarded to this crime—on motives of philanthropy , justice alone , let us seek to put Ireland in the road to prosperity and liberty .
Let ub give to Ireland what she loves sa much , that we paid so dearly for—religious liberty , political liberty , and legislative libcr'y ; and with a goodwill on both sides , Ireland and England shall be as right and loft bands in a grand tffort to civilise the world , J . B .

Sia , —After seeing your remarks in the Nobthebm Stab about a work called ' Sketches of tier Mnjeatj ' t Household , ' I tried to get a copy in this place , but could not . I then walked over to Windsor , and called upon the booksellers there ; but they said they were afraid to keep it , because if they sold it they would give offence to the court . They said they would tako orders for it , and so I have since got a copy . If you will turn
to page 152 , and go on , you will find It stated that Sir Robert Peel promised the country , whoa he brought forward the rascally Income tax in 1842 , tbat tbe Qieen would pay the three per ceut . upon her annual allowance of £ 385 , 000 . Sir Robert Peel then said , juit to humbug us tax payers , and to make the bitter pill more easy to swallow , that the Queen had authorised him to state to the house , that her Majesty had voluatarily determined that her own income should be subject to the iniquitous tax . The book states tbat if the Queen had paid the tax , she would have contributed during the six years no less than £ 09 . 3 ) 0 .
I do nt believe the Q teen has paid one single penny , Is there no man in the House ef Commons honest and straightforward enough to put the ' Momentous Qies . lion' to Lord John Russell— ' Has tbe Queen paid tbe income tax ?

fglll THE BRITISH PRESS . TO THE EDIT 0 B Of THE IfOBTHBBW STAB . DBi » Sia . -Belng a countryman , aad unussd to London , my attention was naturally attracted by the vast number of nowacgents' . hops , aad on Sunday u , t , ( be bills announcing the contents ef »« *••* £ *'""¦ ' •• were very remarkable . Ireland-the nll-importan question of the day-had engaged the attention of all tbe clever men who write for the press and It was with amszement that I read such announoemea <» . •• - ' Rebellion snuffed out , ' 'Revolatioa crushed . inese are a fair spsolmen oi the stock .
Well , sir , I wbb anxious to take all the new ; . with me back to our village , and I bought forthwith the SUHDAY TlHES , Ex « MINEB , SpiCTATOB , and JOHN BOIL and read them over most aMm ilvelj—Irish news and leading artlo ' es . But ) on wlllgueis my earprlBO when , after spending my cash , and giving my labiiur , I ««»»« that l .. i regularly taken in . If it be not seditious to ' prlnl—IwastoVbid . . „„„ . Ireland has long suffered from the accumulated wrongs of » ges . Mr O'Connell , for nearly a half century , organls . d a complete system of agitation . Tbo govern . ment vsn uronsly proclaimed his gnat gatherings in
1842 and from that hour to this , nil onr better feelings have been "hooked by constant recurrences of assassins , tion , an 4 other crimes too horrible to mention . IriPh misery has become a stereotyped phrase . At tbli juncture , Mr O'Brien , a gentlemen of birtb , character , and fortune—himself enjoying the comforts , luxuries , and honours of life , steps boldly » u t and proclaims rebel-Hon . Whether such an act wa « wise or foolish , I will not argue . It was an net , however , that risked the life and fortune of the actor , and showed a recklessness of personal danger . Yet the able journalists of England tax this man with cowardice . Be just and fear not .
We read repeated statements thatSmlih 0 Brien walked up to officers and policemen armed 1 o the teeth , plstels in hand—but we do not read that he shot any one . At tho Common of Bonlagh , he fraternised with tbe police . m < n , demanding their arms , assured them that tbelr lives would be spared . No proof of personal cowardice , I think . Ol , but he scampered off on the inspector ' s horse . How much better it reads if we say , he rode off on the inopeotor ' s horse , and at a time , too , when report siys the peasantry had deserted blm , and , to use the wards of the graphic writer of the Times . ' a reinforcement of constabulary had arrived from Cashed , and , soon after , strosg bodies of the regular troops , cavalry , artil '« ry , aad infantry , came pouring in from every quarter , ' The conduct of Mr O'Brien was decided , end the only
wise course he could adopt . The horse , too , was honour , ably returned . Was it to be anticipated tbat he would remain to be taken o prisoner , or be shot dead on the spot ? Oh , tut he had hid himself In Mrs M Cormack ' s cabbage garden—crawled on all-fours —< wa « shot nttumbled over , and supposed to be wounded ! When Mr O'Brien was in so he : pless a stite , why did not the brave men who shot ot bim take him prisoner ? I fear' there ' s something rotten in the state of Denmark . ' But if tbe whole report be true , there is no trace of cowardice . Brave men are cartful rf life—foolhardy men expose themselves unnecessarily—and in difficult circums'anieB men use the means of safety tbey can command , I suppose your London Journalists are all duellists , possessing more than French honour . Had they bten so situated ,
tbey would have stood erect and been shot . Our kind hearted little man who edits our — Journal , and whom I very much respect , writes heroically , and settles a revolution with pen end ink , as easily as bo would or- er a breakfast at the'Dolphin ; ' there is not a butcher ' s boy In Wakefield that would not take him prisoner , without tho aid of a pea-gun . These clever folk , who understand everything , declared that the rebellion wis snuffed out . It is very singular , that troops should ha l .-aviaj every day to qacll a rebellion already non-oxis-I tent . Have Lord Hardinge and Gen' ral M'Danald gone ! over to Ireland on a pleasure excursion ? Are Inspectors Blake end Trent in danger of losing their lives hourly , or are these assertions of pet tonal d-nger and deeds of daring mere rtveries ! A fonnight ago was the as
pect of Ireland so threatening as to force the English legislature to sunpind the Habeas Cjrpus Act , acd establish martial iaw , and to-day tbe danger is all past ! Have our wise senators then trembled at their own shadow ? Has this monster revolution teen a morn Imaginative thing—a disturbed dream—of a num ' -ier of parliamentary somnambulists ? D-ses not every English and Irish paper admit , that there is a growing discontent in the sister Isle 1 And an increasing sympathy among tbo workmen and labourers of America , England , and Scotland ? Are there not vague rumours about thousands of mi n being armsd , and ready to fight ! Is there not a systematic suppression of all correct inielll gf nee on the real condition of Ireland ? Sauffed out , indeed !
Let our clever and rich men take care that the revolution be not lighted up . Let me wbiiper a few words into tbeir ears . Rebellion is an effect arising from social and political causes . Man is not naturally prone to revolt . Thinking men do not become Repealers or Chattlsts without r ^& ions for so doing . Sober men dc not leave the sickle and seizo the pike for the more love of danger , plunder , or murder—just the reverse . Oil war is ruinous , destructive , and injurious for the Interests of all men , and Is only produced by con tinued acts of injustice . The arrest or death of any number of leaders will not put down rebellion ; it miy tend to put down open and manly fighting , but the spirit of revolt will increase and manliest its power In a more dangerous because a more secret manner . Capturing arms will
net put down revolt , nor put an end to murder , robbery , and aisassluation . No such steps will produce the desired result . You must remove tbe causes that conduce to make men rebellious . It would bo better for all of us tbat wo had leas of revolution , and more of humanity and justice . Even the London newspaper editors would not lose much by so desirable a change . When I next come back tc your great city , I will be more cautious as to how I spend my money . Meantime , I mako the sharpers a present of tbo following ode from Findsr : — ' Reader ! dost thou know the mode of catching t ails V If not , I will inform thee ;—Take a board And place a fish upon it , for tbo fjola—A sprat , or any fish by gulls adored .
Those birds who love a lofty flight , And sometimes bid tbe sun good night ; Spying the glittering bait that fhats below ; Sans ceremonie , down ihoyrush—( For gulls have got no manners)—on they push . And what ' s the pretty consrquenee , I trow , Tbey strike their jabberoowls of lead Plump on tbe board—then lie , like boobies , dead . Render , thou nctd ' et not beat tby brains about , To make eo plain an application out—There's many a painting puppy , take my word , Who knocks his silly head against a board—That might have helped the state—made a good jailor , A nightman , or a t-derablo tailor , Yorksbiro , Monday , August 7 th , 1818 .

TO THE CHARTIST BODY IN THEIR LOCAL CAPACITY , Brethren , — At this critical point of our existence as an orgsnhed body , I am wishful to address a few words to you upon a subject of the greatest Importancethat is , local divisions . Hew is it [ that we are not stronger than we are ? Not beoauso the oppressed are tew—not because plans are wanting which , if carried out , weuld take us to tho goal of our aspirations — not because tho oppressed many do not see that the present arrangements of society might be improved . No ; but it is baoaute there is still too much jaalousy—too much personal feeling existing ia our ' local bodies . ' I have often observed , that when a new member enters onr society , or one who had not
previously taken any active part in our affaire—who , should the force of circumstances act upon his mind , to cause blm , in the first instance , to prove his sincerity for tbe speedy consummation of our wishes b y means of bis cwn enthusiastic example ; or , in tbe second instance , to throw off his previous apoth *—tbe old jog-trot members ( generally officers ) , instead of encouraging such parties , and restraining them only when they are jeopardising tbe cau » o by some imprudence , it is a thousand cbanses to one but tbey begin to impute bad motires to them—such as wishing to take the work out of their hands ( as though tbey feared we should get our rights too soon ) , or else they take the very unwise course of tbrowirg such impediments in their way as to put a
damper on their enthusiasm , and ultimately to cause them to leave the association in disgust . Now , I would s ' . rongly Impress on the minds of these partlet , that , Instead of being what our revered chieftain understands b y the terra 'Old Gaards , ' they are , under such circumstances , the greatest enemies to the cause they profess to have so much at heart . There are , I believe , very few localises tbat h & ve not been torn , split , and soattsrod by something like that indicated above ; and it would be well , uiw that all our energies are wanted to succour sad assist the victims and their families , to act as pointed out ly the sentiments at the head of this letter .

The reports founded upon the ac'lon brought against Sir John Jervls , and now withdrawn , have betn circulated far too widely to admit of their being altogether disregarded now . Innocent as Sir John may be , and no deubt is , the world will not be persuaded of the f & Ct by the visible alarm which has taken possession of ihis unfortunate Mr Newraarch , lhe trill must g > on or the Atorne / . General euffi-r by defiult . We rosy as . sort week alter week that the Kni ght is inaocetit , ru : nobody will believe us ; we may fi ^ ht his battle , but | w 9 shall never gain a victory . He will stand convlettd iu i . e eyes of the puftlic as any other accused individ . i . " . ! "ill stand who , on the day of the trial , appear * at tbo dock with tbe chief witness against him enjoying the reward of virtue upon the felue waters of the Atlantic .
We feel that our interest is peculiar in this business . Wo were tho fir * : to announce the existence of the aetion , and to expose the daring effrontery of the plaintiff who poor lunatic , persuaded himself into the belief not only that a Whig law officer coald be guilty of malpractices at elections , but that tbe world would credit the atrocious slander . An evening contemporary agreed with US that it wa » i-npossible for the accusation to have any foundation in face , tar according to the admirable defence set up by that contemporary , it was not Sir John Jervi * , but bis son , who stood for tbe beroogh of Horsham . Having given currency to this rumour we are bound to see it removed . If th « Attorney-General will not help us to convict this Mr Nuwmarch of gross and culpable folly , who will ? Will S ! r Robert Peel ? The right houourablo
baronet , in his impatience at bribery and corruption , his determinedly withstood the issuing of the writ to the borough of Derby , where some fcalf dozjn poor fellows received , at the last election , five shillings a bead , iu con * fortuity with long established custom , for their easy services upon the imoglnary committee of the Liberal candidate , Tfce noble indignation of tbo ei-Premler would have full scope In the investigation of the bribery supposed to have Uken place in tho borough of Horsham . A poor and ignorant devil who takes five shillings to spend , u may be in bread for bis children , or iu drink for himself , is no doubt a menster in human form : but what shall ba said of a rich and enlightened g ntleman , liberal in his politics and a hater of abuses , because he has always eloquently isvi ighei agiinn ttac-m , who takes not shillings but pouads to the hearth of indigence and deliberately plac : 8 before the eyes of pover y the te nptttiOUS which poverty Cannot with tqdal deliberation refuse ? We desire to kaow whether such a scandil has
occurred at Horsham . We are not satisfied with cur own disbelief of tbo fact : we are not at all clear t ^ at our disbelief will go very far in removing the public impression . The withdrawal of tbe qui tarn action is a fatal mistake . Everybody suffers by it . The Ministers , the House of Commons , the bar , Sir John Jervis , and Mr Newmarcb . The trick has an unwholesome savour . It will generate distrust , lower the character of public men —a dangerous thing at all times—and strengthen the notion , now pretty general , that humbug constitutes a large ingredient in all our parliamentary proceedings . Lord John Russell carries on a cruiade in the House ot ' Commons against half-a-dcz ; n freemen in Deiby ; h s Attorney . Gentral Is not told enough to defy his 1 causers to prove him guilty of practices infinitely surpassing , if the charge be true , in gross culpability , all the offences which all the freemin of Derby have commute 1 since they first took at election time flvoshilllngs to drink their candidate ' s health and to improve their owu . What is tbe inference ?
An Infuriated Ox—On Monday, About Three ...
AN INFURIATED Ox—On Monday , about three o ' clock in the afternoon , an ox of the Highland breed , uver-dri'en and excited , broke from its drever ir , the neighbourhood of Newport Market , and after causing great alarm in Long . aero and Great Queen-street , found its way into Liacoln ' s-inn square , Here an attempt was made to stop its progress by a number of butcher bays , a crowd of spectators lending their aid , and rather increasing by their occasional advance and retreat the fury of the animal . The poor bsast , after surveying ita opponents for a tew moment ? , made asuduen rush upon the crowd in the direction of Stone buildings , in an instant the spectators were fl / ing in every direction . The first person at ' tacked by the animal wna the porter of Lincoln ' s-iun Hall , but he having had tho presence of mind to
cloae the iron gates escaped injury , tha ox merely butting the iron rails with great forde . A gentleman named Marrett , resident in the neighbourhood of Lincolh ' a-inn fields , and who was entering the square from Stone-b « ild . ing 8 i wag not 80 fortunate . Th « animal , defeated iu ita attack on tho porter , rushed upon this gentleman , who appeared paralysed by its approach , and ateod with his back agatsst * the iron railings . The ox rushed upon bim and butted him with great violence , one of the animal ' a noma entering his left tjmple . Lie immediately fell senseless . The animal then paased into Stone > buildiugs , where some unauccessful attempts were made to secure it by means of ropes . Mr Marrett was at once
picked up and conveyed in a perfectly senseless st ^ te to King ' s College Hospital , where , by a singular coincidence , he was recognised by Mr Sedgwick , tho bouse surgeon , as an old schoolfellow . Tag ox again escaping , passed through Chancery-lane , and ran down Holborn in the direction of Smithfield , seriously injuring several persons , and causing the greatest alarm . At length , after passing through several droves of cattle , it fortunately eutured Fax and Knot-yard , a locality abounding in Slaughterhouses , and leaping over » niron bar imprisoned , itself in a narrow court , where by means of ropes let down from the roofs of the houses , it was eventually secured and slaughtered .
Vbrt CuriouBi—A few weeks ago , the following persons occupied a pew in the Baptist chapel , ac Wainsgate , near Ilebden Bridge , vif ., —Three mothere , two grandmothers , one great grandmother , two daughters , ore granddaughter , one son , one grandson , and one great grandson . And yet there were only four persons . A voluntary cb . urcb . Tate is in course of collection in Manchester . The appeal of the churchwardens is handsomely responded to by the parishioners . A very extensive illicit distillery hits been discovered in Manchester , About £ 600 wortk of vats , & c , have been seized .
