There was a gidiness in my head , and a singing in my right ear , that when I turned my head upon tbe pillow , it resembled the sound produced by a slight touch on a musical glass . 1 had a pain and a sort of fulness across the chest , a sore throat , and a slight cough ; but the pain around my loins was so great , that I could not remain in tha same position for fc-n minutes all ni ght long . The principal seat of the pain seemed to be just below the ribs oh my left side and about three inches from the Lack bone .

      Injuries Sustained From A Collision With...

      injuries sustained from a collision with the Glenayln steamer , had a very narrow escape from drowning . He had turned into his hammock before the accident happened , and , strange to say , was not awoke either by the shock or the subsequent uproar on the deck of the vessel . The crew got on hoard the steamer , but the brig not jroing down as quickly as they expected , they returned to her , in the hope of

      running her on shore , and so saving some of her stores . They soon , however , found this to be impracticable ; but before finally abandoning her , at the suggestion of the master , they went down into the forecastle to secure their clothes , and in searching for these one of tbe men laid his hand on the face of the sleeping boy , who had not been previously missed ; of course he was soon aroused , but could at first scarcely be convinced of the dangerous predicament he was in .

      A New Idea of Choloroform . —A Bedford butcher has been giving a display of meat of the most splendid character ; but the most attractive feature was a long row of haunches and legs of mutton , very carefully powdered with flour , after the true epicure fashion . Among the spectators was a good old woman from the country , who had never seen mutton in such disguise before , and she thus interrogated a neighbour— ' Why , what the plaeue ha' they been and done wi' the mutl'n ? ' ' Oh , ' said the man questioned , ' I dcs say they killed it wi ' this newchlory-form !'

      Daring Attempt at Highway Robbeey . — As Mr Henderson , the chairman of the Liverpool Dock Committee , was riding home , a little after dusk , on Tuesday evening , a tall athletic man rushed from the footpath in Walton Breck Road , and attempted to seize his bridle . Mr Henderson instantly drew up , and the horse , frightened , backed several paces . The ruffian promptly renewed the attempt , but Mr Henderson struck at h m with his whip , and called ' Police ! ' The fellow , alarmed , darted through the hedge , and Mr Henderson darted aftei him . No assistance being near , the villain effected his escape over a wall too high for the horse tu follow him .

      Military Expenditure . —Amongst other governors of non-existent military fortresses , for whom the country has to pay , ia the governor of Berwick- , on-Tweed—an officer who never visits the town The walls of this ancient borough , in themselves a nuisance , have , by their dilapidations , become a greater nuisance ; and the magistracy of the place have called on the Ordnance office to repair them . Whereupon , instead of despatching the governor down , that office sends at great cost an architect to report to it ; and , in all probability , the repair of these walls will form an item in next year ' s estimates .

      Political axd Social France . —Ia a lecture on public hygiene , delivered by M . H . Roges Col-Jard ( given in the Medical Times ) at the Faculty of Medicine , Paris , he observes : —Into whose hands France is to fall , whether she is to be governed by kings , or by directors , presidents , or consuls , are now questions ol secondary importance , the political organisation of the Sovernment is but the outward form , the drapery , of the social organisation ; the latter constitutes the true problem , the principal and most essential question for France to solve .

      Novel Application of Gun Cottom and Asbestos —In a communication addressed to the Mewc . il Gmiis , Mr Rabinson , the eminent dentist ot Gower-atreefc , details a new application of these substances for the removal of the agonising pain of tootn-acVe , when the patient is unwilling ; to submit to the radical euro of extraction . Tbe collodion , to which a few grains of acrphia are added , is dropped into tbe cavity , which is then filled with asbestos , and the whole becomes in a few seconds soiidifitd ,

      forming an excellent nonco :. ductor of heat and cold to the exposed neryp . The plan has been followed with the most complete success , and we doubt not that it will be very extensively adopted in casts where there may be either c institutional obstacles , or objections on the siiffawr ' s part , to extraction . It i * unnecessary to add , that great caution must be observed in tha uso of this powerful agent , and that the operation should only be undertaken by a skilful su eeon-dentist .

      Shipwreck . —It is our melancholy duty to announce the lois of another fine vessel on the banks at the mculh of our river , which took place on the 20 th inst . This vessel is a Prussian , hailing from the port of Rostock , and was only launched about six weeks ago at Memel , from which place she was bound to Dundee with a cargo of timber , do ., principally we believe for the purpose of being coppered with the view of proceeding for Buenos Ayres . The vessel's name is the Jobann Freidrick , and the captain ' s II . D . Bradherinp , whose property she is , and we are sorry tossy that not a penny of insurance is effected

      upon her . It was about seven o clock in the morning when the ship went on the Elbow End ; and there being nothing remarkable in the proper channel of the river , the wind being favourable and several other vessels coming up at the time , conjecture was ritb as to what had occasioned the unfortunate mishap The captain himself blames the pilot , as being unqtia lified to have taken charge of his vessel . About lour hours after the Johann Froidrick grounded , the crew ( fourteen in number ) , including tbe master and pilot , were taken off by the life boat , a very heavy sea breaking over the ship at the time . —Dundee Ad

      vernier . SisGUitR PsESBRYAmx . —Oa Tuetday intelligence was received at Lloyd ' s of the total loss of the briu Fortecbrit , of Stettin , Rendfluisch , master , bound to Dublin , on the North Sand . On the vessel striking , the maa ' er and crew , eight in number , got ia the long-boat , starting a large quantity of oil overioard , which prevented the sea as they went before it across tbe sand from breaking into their boat . This novel expedient preserved their Uvea , aa the boat would otherwise have been swamped and they must all have perished . They were thus able to cross the Bind , and were picked up and landed in Ramsga ' e .

      "Wheat Sowixo in East Kent . —The wet state of the land , arising from the heavy and long-continued rains during the summer and autumn , begins to excite some apprehensions with regard to the next wheat crop . Wheat sewing was never more backward , and many farmers still find it impossible to' got upon the land . ' It is remembered , however , that after a somewhat similar season a few years since , when a great deal of wheat sowing was , of necessity , deferred until the ipt ' we , the following crop was abundant and of gcod quality .

      James Kelvington , John Robinson , Edward Hurler , and James . Bland , appeared to eater and try their traverse charging them with riot , conBpiracy , aud assault at Bingley . They had no counsel . The Hon , Mr Phipps and Mr Maule appeared for the prosecution . One of the men said , they had been given to understand that no evidence would be offered against them , and that they would be discharged on their own recognisances .

      It appeared , however , that they had not entered their traverse , nor paid the fees , and the counsel for the prosecution wfched to know if they were ready for trial . One of the men , John Robinson , said they had paid already £ 6 10 a . ii . traverse money , and now they wero asked for further fees to tbe amount of £ 14 2 i . before they could be set at liberty ; that would make more than £ 20 for four poor men to pay who earned 83 a week , lie considered that rather exorbitant :

      Mr Justice Maule . —Nobody takes those fees to his own use , they ge to the puolio . The officers don't got them at ail , ^ nd tbe officers cannot give them up , because they are not their own money . Mr Phipps . however , at the suggestion of his Lordship , one of the prisoners having bean in gaol waiting his trial six months , would not , on the part of the government , press the charge .

All tbe prisoners , with the exception of Smyth and Power , pleaded ' Guilty . * Mr Overend and Mr Maule appeared on the part of the prosecution , and Mr T .

He found there nine men , of whom Power was one . He took Power into custody , and on searching him found some books , which he produced . One of these books contained various resolutions made at Chartist meetings . There were chalk marks on the floor . Cross-examined . —There was nothing cabalistic in the chalk marks . Did not take much notice of them .

      J . Shepherd , as inforn ? er , said : Many Chartist meetings took place in the beginning of the year at Bradford , Smyth was a Chartist speaker in April . He was secretary of the section that met at the Temperance Eating-house in Bradford . Smyth recommended a collection for the purpose of providing arms . On the 26 th of June there was a meeV ' ng at which about fort ; persons were present , and Smyth vias asked to account for the money collected , which ho refused to do , and the reason he alleged for so doin ? was that he had given £ 5 19 a . 6 d . to men in tbe 39 th Regiment to induce them to desert , and not to fight against tho Chartists , and if that got out or appeared on thebcoks and they were taken , the men would be transported . Witness was a member of

      the ninth section of the Chartists ; there were forty or fifty sections in Bradford containing 100 to 200 men . Ho was at a meeting on the 13 th of August at which Smyth was present , and he was proposed to bo sent as a delegate to Manchester . Srarth said he expected a letter from Manchester , stating that the Chartists had turned out that night there , and he would w ^ sh the m to do the same that night at Brad ford and tarn out and fight the military and polico ; and he proposed that every section should hold itself in readiness . It was agreed that Smyth should go to Manchester , as the letter had no u come , and that every man should hold himself in readiness with his arms to strike the blow when he came back . The Chartists present had net arms thenbut he had seen

      , them with arms in their houses—pikes and guns , and pop bottles filled with powder and hone shoe stibs , and anything that would do damage . Whea they turned out they were to get arms at the first shop . Witness had made some of the pop-bottles' himself ; A man named Binns was the chairman of that meeting , and Smyth and he went to Manceskr on the 15 th of August . Smyth returned on the 16 th , and there was then a meeting at Daly ' s pnblio house Of the council of the Chartists , The council wag formed of a representative from each section . They were waiting therefor oideri , expecting a turn-out . Plans of operations in the different streets were laid down , and they had orders to take the police station , to

      puil down the telegraphs and ' rive' up the raits , te prevent the military from coming from Leedp . Hammers and picks were to be taken to pull up the gas pipes and darken the town . He understood they were to fight the military and police , to get the Charter , and to have a . Republic . Smyth showed him a letter which he bad received from Manchester it said that all was broken tip and come to an end . ' Cross examined—Had given evidence ajrainat Lightowler , who was tried as a Chartist : Knew Crowley , his brother in-law . Had never asked Crow , ley t <> swear the same thing , and he would be paid font . Never told Crowley'they only called him ( witness ) perjurer , and he waano worse fer it .

J > myth was there acting as secretary . He teok all the accounts and aeotion books , Heard him tell the delegates from the sections to get pikes and all kinds ot weapons , for the purpose of oYertbrowiDg tie government , There waa another meeting on the m \ of April in ( be Manchester Road . Smyth was

      there . He moved for ft fund to bo raised for the supply of arms . Binns was there , and said that men were wanted more than ammunition . On the 19 th of April and on the 4 th of May Smyth was present at meetings at which witness was , when reports ' were made to Smyth of the progress of the sections in getting arms . On the 24 th of May there was a procession at Penkover Walks of 4 , 000 or 6 000 Chartists , with bands of music and flag-staffs with pikes upon them . Smyth headed the procession . Another meeting was held the same night at Butter * worth Buildings . Dr Frith made a motion that they could never have a better opportunity to break out than that night , Smyth said that the town was not prepared , and that he would not keep the name of a man on his books who wished for blood so soon . The doc . or said * he did not eare for a pen through hia name , when it was in his breast . He waa a quack doctor , not a regular doctor .

      Cross-examined . —Had not deserted as a soldier . Had not twice been convicted of embezzlement . Robert Emmett , an approver , examined . —Is an engine tenter and Chartist . Attended a meeting in Victoria Street , Bradford , at when Power acted as secretary . A collection was made for arm ? . Each man took his arms home . He had attended about ten meetings in May and August last , at which rales were adopted that there should be a corporal for every fourteen men , a sergeant for twenty-eigbti and a superior officer for forty men . On the 15 th of August , Power told the men present at & meeting ft'bein readinessi Witness was a superior officer . They were ordered to take up the gas-pipes , and to take wood from Crabtree ' syard and throw up barricades . They were to take the magistrates , and bold them aa hostages until they had got the Charter .

      Cross-examined . —Witness was to command when this was done . He knew ' Skipton Dick . ' That was his nick-name . Got it because of a dog . Never stole any castings from s foundry at Skipton , Had been married fourteen years , and believed his wife was in Australia ; did not knoif that she was living at Settle . Had some years since gone through the ceremony of marriage with another woman at Bally * anannon , in Ireland . It was not a regular public marriage . Had never said it was . ( Witnesi ' s depositions before tbe magistrates were here handed

      to him by the learned counsel . ) Had toW the magistrates he was married to this woman ; but the clergyman that did it hsd only a kind of a gown pinned on him , and had been dismissed from theaervioe for drunkenness . ( A laugh . ) He charged half-a . crown for the job . lie did not consider it a regular marriage . Had been in Wakefield House of Correction for embezzlement , and also on a conviction for false pretenses , He bad also been sent from Skip , ton Workhonse to Wakefisld House of Correction for breach of the rules . Had been there also for

      desertion , Told tbe magistrates at Bradford he had only been at WakeSeld once , and that was for desertion . Had never been flogged in the army for theft . Was not branded as a rogue , nor drammed out of his regiment . Re-examined . —He was discharged froa the army on a medical certificate . Police-constables were then examined , who had searched Smyth's house , and in a box in his bed . room , and in a drawer down stairs , had found several books and papers , which they produced . On cross-examination they stated that there waa another man or men in the house at the time , who appeared to be of the family . There were only two rooms in the house—a bedroom and houseroom . There were two beds in the bedroom . The box in which the books were found was not locked .

      Mr Foster objected to these books and papers being given in evidence . There was no proof that they were in the custody of Smyth . They were not locked up , and other men lived in the houie . His Lordship thought sufficient ground was laid for putting them in evidsnse , The custody of the books was open to comment to the jury . These books and papers wore then put in . They contained accounts of various expenses for Chartist purposes , for flags and printing , delegates' expenses , ito ., and several Caartiai resolutions . One of the policemen stated that the Chartists in their processions at Bradford carried 11 * 23 , with anch inscriptions as' England free or a desert , ' Batter to die by the sword than perish with hunger . ' ' Wo to the tyrants that obstruct the taarch of freedom , ' &•; .

      Mr Foster then addressed the jury for the defence . He contended that the witnesses for the prosecution , who were Chartists , were as coconspirators and accomplices deserving of little credit , and their oha > racier showed them to be undeserving of belief . By the very same course taken in this prosecution those who had promoted the passing of the Rsform Bill , or who promoted any change in the law , might be indicted for a conspiracy . The evidence of Emmatt , than whose character nothing cou'd be worse , aline affected Power ; and he should call witnesses to contradict the witness FJynn , affecting Smyth , showing thai Smyth was not present on the occasion sworn to .
