From eurioMty I ; at * tended the meeting . "W ell , the first proposition that was made , was something like tli 3 following :- ^ 'That we , a majority of rate-payers , request the Poor Law Commissioners to allow tlie sale of a portion of the commons-land for the site of a church *"
An amendment was moved " That t . iecommons land ot the township , ought not to be sold for . an purpose . " The original motion , was , however , aarried by a small majority . The chairman laboured hard to persuade the meeting that ths-y iiad no power 3 r controul o-ser the land . , and that it rsias only a mere-form ; : and : that if the land was sold , the proceeds would be applied to pay for a new valuation of the property of tbatownship , and by thai means save them something : in filtrates . Now , My . Editor , when . I ' reflected spon the doings of the Cimicii party , I could not help-comparing theni to the "Thugs of india , "' andjwas iriesistably led to the conclusion , that thj 3 Chuiich party are the " Thugs" of England , the only difference beinsj that they lack the courage to maUsuse of the handkerchief . Kow , for she benefit o £ the
ratepayers , I will endeavour toshow how these *• ' fhu « s , " will " save something in the rate , " by £ Jis sale of the land , Suppose a township to have- £ > acres of commons land enclosed , and letabie at the rate ol £ \ 10 s . per acre per annum , that would amount to £ 00 of a yearly income , and it would do somctliin :.-towards defraying the expence of the township ; but should those 10 acies be sold , and the money b o s p en t in the " improvement" of the township , tho £ CP yearly income would be Inst , and an increase ot rates and taxes would be required to make up the ddiek-ncv . Such "savins" is quite consistent with " Tung" practices . A poll was demanded at tin
above meeting , but the chairman said they might try ! to get one if they ceuld , and caused the mect ' sag to j be broken up in the most admired confusion . —E . G ., !

A Wonderful Case Of Nu Attested Cure Of ...
DUEA 1 FUL MURDER . The following narrative of the murder of John Baptist Epailie , Bishop of Sion , Vicar Apostolic of Milanesie nndMuronisio , at the Isle ofYsable , is taken from the Sydney journals , December , 1845 : —On the morning that the melancholy circumstance occurred , his lordship accompanied fcy the Rev . Mr . Fremont , the Rev . Mr . Chauraine and two lay brothers , put off from the vessel in the boat , with the second mate and four seamen , iu order to find a place to form a settlement ; they had been five days making excursions for the purpose . When tlie boat same left the vessel , the second mate inquired of his lords hip , to which place they should go , and was directed to proceed to the' unfriendly tribe' a name which the inhabitants of that part of Ysable had gone on board the vessel from all the natives who had previously visited them . A
missionary had told them that if they went there they would be killed ; but , in consequence of the different tribes being at war tvith each other , little attention was paid to his statement . As the party approached the beach they observed a number of objects on the island , apparently motiouless and scarcely distinguishable from the ground ; thc-y at length observed a convenient and proper place for landing and as they approached the shore some of the party said the objects they saw were posts , and others said they were not men , but gre y stones , As the boat came nearer to the shore they observed a body of about 100 natives , some of whom left the beach and went into the bush , apparently afraid . Signs were made to them not to be afraid , and an old man with long white hair , ill a state of trepidation , went alongside , and examined the boat very minutely , no doubt to ascertain whether
there were any arms m it . He bad two mangroves m bis hand which he gave to the second mate , who presenced him in return with a piece * of iron . The party then left the boat , two seamen remaining with it , and tlie natives attempted to pull it on the beach . Contrary to I their usual custom , the seamen were tiwarmed . say ingthey ; ivereashamedtogoarssed while the Bishop aud the priests -were unarmed . His lordship , with the Bev , Mr . Clinurainc , one lay brother ; and a seaman , walked ou one side ; the Rev . Mr . Fremont , the other U . y towtlier , tlie second mate , and the other seaman , on the other sidsv Mr . Fremont , by signs , asked tSs natives where their houses were , but recived no ffiisvfer : he then asked , who was their chief , when a great number ef them , proudly Yifiiftg up their heads intimated that they were chiefs-.- One of the Jay
brothers by signs , intimated to one ofthemth . it thcehib he held fh'liis-hsnd was a very f . haone , to which he ia'tfic pauie m . mner hffsghtily answered , , that it was , A Boy , apparently abour 33 years old , observed the ring on the Bishop's finger ar / 3 offered him two-mangroves for it ; fiis LordshipEssrtl . vsmvJed , and the seamen observed thatthsy set a great valUo nfwi these mangroves . One of the lay brothers saw an ase-in the hands of one of the natives , which lie posatsd out So Mr . Chaurains ; who said that he had also seen one . "These axes wire not on the short handles as thaj'nsuhlvj : are , but had handles -1 or five feet long , and the axes tbomselves were very bright . Mr , Chanraine directed' his- lordship's attention to the circumstance , and ' snid tlig-rtatives appeared to- be ready to attack them . He said ' that was true , and asked if the sailors were armed : He then began to return towards
the boat , but it was'tho lata , as he had scarcely fafcen two steps when the a * ti * c earn * behind him with an axe , wnrich he raised wltlr'bbth'hnnd . and struck- 'tlie- Bishop a . violent blow on the'head : Bis Lordship raised both his hands to hi * head'alVd ' crieds out . All the natives then yelled , and attacked ' each ' iiftfce party individually . The whites were soon separated ,, and could not'help each other ; the only thing- 'they ccald do was to try to-reach the bout ; on their flight'thither , Mr . Fremonfi-eceivsd two-eats en the head , rasil th ' esecwnd mate ; Mr . Qlii \ ura >> e received a blow on tha' -head , at ( 5 another on the Isg , bat not severe . A pistol was fired from the boat , aivdivll'the natives , exrept three , ran off'intc-the bush . These three were trying tn strip the-Btshop ' -c ? his clothes , whhff Mr CIimsr .

CRUELTY TO AN INSAMJS t'Aunsu . On Tuesday ail adjourned inquiry was held at the Greyhound Inn , Haverhill , on the body of John Webb , an old imbecile inmate of the Uisbridgc Union , whose death was ascribed to the revolting cruelty practised towards him for a considerable period . The previous mvesbga , lion took place on the 5 th , when Aim Radford , of Haverhill , daughter of the deceased , deposed , that about a month since , in consequence of information she received , she went to see her father . Upon entering , she found him ly ing on the bed on his back . Ho appeared senseless , and- blood was trickling down his face . She asked Slater what he had been doing to her father . Slater said nothing . She then asked how it was that blood came trickling down his ( her father's ) face . Slater then said , "You are a d—d si ght worse fool than your brother . " She went and told the mistress . «» r father was quite helpless . Ho had received several other injuries on diiYerent parts of his bodyand was very filthy .
, -. •_ ,- -iir ..,. ! . onn of tli /» < ipnp 5 i < ipil . dnnnseu to Fred » rick Webb , son of the deceased , deposed to similar facts . On the 28 th of August he saw the governor , and told him he had heard his father was cruelly used , when the master said , ' « Whoever told you so , it ' i do \ vnright d—d lie . " The governor also said , "Why don't you take your old father out ? he is a d—d filthy old man ; he is as much trouble as ten . " He was refused perroisaon to see his father in the infirmary . On the proceedings being re-opened , John Forest Chater deposed that his house and garden adjoined the old Union-house at Kinbridgc , and overlooked the premises on three sides . He knew the deeenscd John Webb well . Had often seen him in the
infirmary . Could see him plainly as low down as the waist . For more than two or three months witness had heard bad language used in that room by Slater the nurse . Witness was induced on one occasion to listen , as there was much bad language going on . A few days after heard similar bad language , and saw Slater hit deceased on his face with his right hand . His hand was open . Webb was sitting up fa bed . Upon one occasion after tile above name ! , when Sinter had been reading prayers , witness heard Slater say to some one , "lay still , yoil > d—d old b—1 \ " Frequently during tho fast threa months had heard bad language in that room , Knew it - Was Slater by being familiar with his voice : Heard one blow , and saw one stracit .
John Ilearn'said . In the course of last spring I was an inmate erf ' tlie Eisbridge union , and was in the infirmary ward , Slater , the man now present , was nurse of the ward . The deceased was nn- inmate . I saw Slater on one occasion shove the deceased sideweys on the stairs . Coroner : Diu you ever see a cord round'his legs ? ! Witness : Yes , i have . After he shored' Webb down jsfairs , I saw Slater pulling him up stairs ily a cord . He ' was tied round Ids'legs , jus * above the instep-. Coroner : How was the diseased lying ? Witness : His legs-sferc njparmost .
Ooroner : And his head ? Witness : His hede ? was-dansrlmg d own the stairs . He war upon his back . A'fter Sorter had pulled ilirrr up hree or four stairs by tlie cord ' ,, he sent for John Bifcrd o assist him . Biford came scon afterwards . Slater hadrfol'd ' of tho rope , and on pulling the deceased up two steps- 'more Biford took the-diseased by the shoul . de-s , and ' between thcin he w . w _ taken intohrsroom . WitneaS'tnen saw the corfl ' talien iff . and the deceased was tlren ' stt-apped in , a chair . Heard the old mart'say ,-" Oh , dear , you will kill me / ' Did' not know what'beicame or ii' . in afterwards . ' . Biter used to read prayers-.
Mr . Samuel S . George Ek-ott , surgeon , of Haverhill , and house surgeon of the Kisbri 8 jfs union for . < = ereral years : lV'kd iiis attention directed' to Webb , the do . ceased , dnrirtg'lhe time he ' was in tlie infirmary . Six or eight weei ' s ago was ordered t . ytlie master or mistress ta see the deceased as he had had Wall , r-cxamined him ; and found a" contusion oh th- ' e back part of the head : Slater said ift ' af deceased had had a-fill and hurt his head . The skin was razed , and'it was- a recent injury . I saw him iftur or five times , and the wound healed . Aoout three v / ceMs afterwards vras again- told by Slater that ( leceasedliiid ' had another fail , and I saw that there was a small eut'bvm-one of his eyes ; -to-which I applbd a ; v ieee of plaster ; and it got weiK ¦
| By the Coroner-: Slater did not tell me anything else , tnan that the man had had a fell : The injuries wi-re ; S » trifling thnfit was not thought-necessary to enter tttem in the ! rcporfbook . In the-rcRulav course of my daf / y visi . s for three days before His death rfound him to-be sinking . There is an entry to such effect in the b ' ook , ; The "IMedicat'Weekly Return-booii ! - " " was here brought in , from which the Coroner read entries of tlie h-eatment . Someday between- the 11 th and lSlh of-September— "DebUitrand . ulcerated hip . " After going through-the cases the worth ; v Coroner threw down the book , observing , " don'f like the book ; Sir . I should like to have- seen the gradnal pi -ogress of disease in the psticnt until he was released ft om his sufferings by death . " ' ; TSfe mec ieal officer , in further examination , stated that on the day the deceased ( lied he cullud about the middle of the day at the umialtime of visiting .
Cdroner . —Then if you did notste hirn before four in the afterno on on t ' aeday of his death , he bad not- been visited sine e the day before ? Mr . Bscott—No . Cfroner- -Have you no special applications made to you in extn tme cases- such as these \ " Mr . Escett—No , I ka 7 e--D 0 t , Coroner- -Do you'talk-to the patients ever ?¦ Mh Bscott—Some times . Coroner- -Ever to -Webb V Mr . Escott—He was foolish and had no 1 ; the capacity to make known any complaint . I freqaentlj used to-askhim questions , but he never gave me any satii factory answer . He always behaved very willheforo me . Last-Monday . by order of the © broiler , assfts'iedby 'M r . Harvey and Mr . SIhrttn , I made a poil mor & Ht exat ninatio-n-of the body , the cause of death was water en tli-e chest—the case was quite natural , nor did he consider that death was in any wuy accelerated by ill usni'o-.
Coroner--Have you-any female-nurses in the-ward ? Mr . " 2 Scott < -Xo , Sir , not at present / nor paid mais-nurses either . Oi ? roner— Then I-uiidcrstnnd there arc no paid 'female nurses to attend t » the poor creatures in the ftov . ee ? Mr . Esce-tt—No . A-long correspondence was read between Mr * . .

The Coroner having summed- up the evidence , which
was very volumuwus , the jury returned a veidict of " Nasunal death , " wiih-. the follovring addition— "The Jury cannot consider they have discharged their duty- without wishing to record their horror and detestatiortof-the cruel and inhuman treatment whieh it has been proved the deceased received from the nurse Slater ; and that gross negligence has been exhibited l > y him ( tha-kite master ) in allowing such-treatment iopass umiot : ccd--and unre-: j » rted to the board .

Iron Steam Stllps—And Boiler-Making—Inju...
IRON STEAM stllPS—AND BOILER-MAKING—INJUBIOUS EFFECTS OF PIE CB-WOUK . TO THE JBDITOtt Ot THE NOBTHEBS STAB . Sib , —Permit me through the medium of your widely circulated paper , to offer afewremaiksupon the injurious effects of piece work as it stands at the present time , with regard to the public safety , and the welfare of the trade in general , called "Iron * Ships Steam Boiler Building . " It has been a general practice of late , for the employer to set the men the work at so much a yard for riviting , and so much a plate forplating , ind so on in the various branehesof the trade . That theoperative ought to obtain the highest price he can for his labour , is a right that I think cannot bp denied , but that he lias a
right to endanger the lives of his fellow creatures , by turning the work from his hands in the way piece work is generally done , is a right that no man of principle will allow . The merchants have been decided by this system , for they have paid a good price for an inferior article , ai may be seen by inspecting theboats built on the banks of the Thames , and those built on the Mersey . Those boats called the " The Iron Duke , " " Birkenhead , " the " Ajax , " the " Windsor , " and the " Ilaringtoo , " built by Thomas Yernon , Esq ., compare this work with tlie London work , and it will be as an old dwelling house to a new and splendid mansion . How is this ? He has had a day ' s work donefor a day's wages . Thereis no need of cement to stop the leaks in those vessels while laying in the river or dock , as is the case in the London built boats .
But this , sir , will not keep them tig ht when labouring hard in a heavy sea . And here , sir , if not out of place , I would show in what way the merchants have been decided . They have appointed a man to inspect their work , who has been totally unacnunhited with the trade . Wood is different to iron , a man that never worked at it cannot be competent to judge of its fitness or unfitness for a job . A man who ( Sees not preperly understand the art of plate iron working" is-not fit for the situation , which is not ths case , they beiny shipwrights in general instead of Iron Boat Builders . But I would advise She merchants to appoint a man whehas served his time at the trade . The trade has made a movement to regulate piece-work , but for what reason I cannot say the employer do not seem willing to assist them . The men have agreed to a line if
found making more than one day's time a-ad a-half , that is 15 hours in a day . The men know they cannot do more and do justice ft'the merchant , and ? why any employer should force a man or even allow rr . es to act so unjustly both to himsci ? and the trade at large , I cannot imajtihe , but I do sincerely hope that Lloyd's insurance will look strictly into these statements , and fo ? any information they may want to- guard against deception , I am convinced the trade wi'r- furnish . The only thing studied ' aft the present time , is to get theboats into the water , whether they sink or swim seems to be a matter of indifference to the employers-of London generally , but I hope the merchant ' s interest , and the public ' s safety , will in a very short time be deemed matters deserving a little consideration . In the ne ^ t place , sir , I shall refer
to that branch called steam boileymaking , upon which sdmuch depeedsy and some thousands- venture their iiras daily and hourly . The system g-enerally prevailing in this branch is- abominable . The- employer ' s and the merchants hare been robbed , ths public safety endangered , the trade-ruined , and the operaviire brought to starvation . Jr . ' every shop there is- a- man commonly called foreman , and generally speaking-altliough their is some honourable -exceptions , they are tho most ignorant , tyrannical set of men you could find . The masters in some cases not beinj attentive to their'business , have left to those nieu the entire controul of the shop , and they to make money , have engaged iucompetentimen for a deal less than men would'work for who knew their business , at the same time they have charged their employer ' s the
. highest wages given' -iit the labour market '; Again , the employer have let the work to those men at-so much per ton , and the men have had to work under tlvam day work . They have irusted mere boys to do the most particular wonk . They have set'agricultural labourers-to that part called " Holding up , " ' and the result has tee : * that competent workmen would not stop with them , It is not likely the honest operative would work for s-joh avaricious-and grasping men . These men have in a-short time beta , able to boast of their thousands in the bunk , while the operatives have received hardly sufficient- to keep body-aud soul together . But the work , sir , uyon which the lives of so many of ourfellow creatures depends , what
could , it be compared to " ' - A sieve more tbaa- a steam boiler ,. when it have been Slled with water , they have had to get ashes from the smith ' s firei before thsy could get them to fill , and before they stand to get steam have had to' put nearly a load of horse-dung into them , or potatoes , and if the men have made any complaiatsto the employer they iiave ^ been misrepresenteil j by the foreman , and differences between the employed and the employer have been the consequences ; - leading to strikes , eVc-. Such is the position of the boilei-makers of London . Iiwill not trespass any further upon the columns of your , valuable paper , but if you will insert this , you will greatly oblige the boiler makers of the London district .

Houy * of Parliament at the naxt general election , a public meeting was held ; atthe Scientific Institute , Tottcnham-court-road , on Holiday , 31 st ot August , 1 SAU , when a committee of fifteen psrsons wers unanimously , appointed , in conjunction with , the Executive Committee of the National Chasten Association to carry into , full effect the above desirable object .
The committee having assembled ^ mid being duly constituted , considered that their first duty was to appeal to the whole country for that necessary support and assistance , which can aiane render tjjeir services available in sscuring at the next general election the return of such candidates as may have been nominated by the Central aad- Local Committees , aud approved ot by the people . We-bave , by our agitation , succeeded in implanting our principles in the public mind ; they have progressed against all opposition , and , it is now time that we centralise the power which we have created . In our opinion , the House of Commons , is the onl y place to display that centralisation ; because there your representatives can best make known your principles , combat all opposition , dissipate that ignorance which exists in the House , concerning the aim aud object of the Charter , aud cuforce your claims to universal enfranchisement vrifli tti » teffect which will . ensure their publicity not only in the Uritish press , but also that of the civilised world .
The Central Committee recommend the immediate appointment of local committees iu all the principal to * S 3 of tie kingdom , for the purpose of carrying out tlit ina ructions of the late Convention ( see Hand llook published by the Exeetivc Committee ) , thoy also recommend tothe local '( Committees to furnish ' the central body with the number of electors in each of their respective boroughs , the number that voted at the last election for their respective party candiuatc , the probable number who could be placed upon the register , and all such information as may ber . r upon this subject ; tho committeewill then

The committee , if efficiently supported , ave sa ,, uhi 0 of being able o return several candidates pled ged to the principles of the People ' s Charter , even with the present limited iranclnse , and should the general election be delayed until after the registration of 1817 , we shall be able to P lace many thousand names on tlie register , by which means we may easil y secure the representation of many ot the principal cities and boroughs of the kingdom
