Several paid-up members of our branch—to wit , Messrs God-aid , Birkinshaw , and Glossop—happened to be at Herringsgate , and while there made special Inquiry , and the universal answer they got from the workmen was , that they nerer worked for a better man in their lives than Mr O'Connor , and that , if allowed , they would cheerfully go round the country with him . The Sheffield men are , therefore , not to be duped hy Mr Perry . Similar resolutions have been adopted at Wottonunder-Edge , Alva , Stalybridge , Kirkaldy , and Edinburgh .

~ Th _ "Gks _.. "— The gent is of comparatively late creation . He has sprang -from the original rude untutored man hy combinations of chance and cultivation , in the same manner as the later _vcrieties of fancy pippins hare been produced , by the devices of artful ms __ et-g __ rde _ ers , from the originalstock wild crab ofthe hedges . The fashion which gents hare _ofoccasionallraddreshigas " my pippin" _favour _this analogy : and when they use the figure of speech , they pronounce it as follows—placing great stress on fhe first letter , and then waiting awhile for the rest
— " Ulto my P—ippm ! " After much diligent _inrestigatioD , we find no mention made ofthe gent in the writings of author _, who flourished antecedent to the last ten years . In the older works we meet with " bucks" and " gay blades " and " pretty fellows ; ' _* and later with " men upon town , " " swells" and _-Mownyone ., " or"k _ owing _ ov «; " but the pure gent comes not under any of these orders . He was sot known in these times .

The Land Plan. To Feabgus O'Conkob, Bsq....
THE LAND PLAN . TO FEABGUS O ' CONKOB , BSQ . Dear Sir , —I have ever had a high opinion of yon as a sterling democrat , as a pure and disinterested friend to suffering humanity , as the defender of the poor man ' s right , and a deadly enemy to corruption . This has been folly displayed in your long and truly useful public life , bnt in no instance has it shown it * self with more lustre than in your nobie and unequalled "Land Scheme , " a scheme which requires only the hearty co-operation of those for whose benefit it is intended to ensure its complete success , and the entire emancipation of British' Labour . But it was not , Sir , for the purpose of praising yourexertions that led me to write this . Tour indomitable courage is already known orer the greater part of the globe ; bnt I would willingly add my mite to con- ;
rincemy brethren , the sons of toil , of _someof the advantages tbat will accrue to them from joining the National Co-operative Land Company . I observed , yesterday , placards stuck np in all the most public places in our streets , announcing a sale by public roup , ofa field of land , houses , & e . m the vicinity of this place , and , to insure a sale , the upset price reduced to £ 550 . I concluded , with myself , that this must really be a very dainty morsel , and made np my mind to see it without delay , so I started this morning in company with other two who knew the spot . It is rather less than a mile out of town . Tha houses , which are built after the cottier system of this neighbourhood , are close on the . old country road , fronting it with onrr a _faot-walk between it and the door . Thev consist of a single row
each dwelling house is one end next the barn , and the cow-house at the opposite end . The houses are narrow , and about sixty feet in length . The mansion house has one room , a closet , and kitchen ; the barn about half the length of the first , but _rzuch lower , the cow-house lower still , descending like three steps of a stair . There was at the back of all this something that had the appearance of a pighouse . The land consists ofa small stripe directly back from the houses . The extent about two acres three roods , English measure . I cannot say what might be considered a fair rent value for it in ils present position , bat , were the land a mile further from the town , I know one pound per acre wonld be thought an extortionateprice for it . I likewise know that the Land Scheme would pat a man in possession of more , and better land for the half of the money , besides his proportionate allowance of capital
to commence with . Close by this is another small place , about fonr acres ; the bouse , a miserable abortion , unworthy the name , for which the tenant pays £ 20 of annnalrent He is bnt an indifferent farmer , and is not a teetotaller , still he appears to he making a decent living . Snch facts as these will , I trust , assist toopen the eyesof thepeople to theirowninterest as well as to point ont the value of land , as a permanent core for poverty and wretchedness , and crush them in a strong light and wretchedness ; and must -show in a strong light the advantages to be obtained by joining the-Land Company . I am , sir , yours truly , _A-ex-xueb C _*_ PB _** LL , Bookseller , Brechin , April 11 . P . S . —j shall shortly prove the truth of my professions in this letter , by becoming an active mem- ' ber . A . C .

Irish Cos*R_De_Atio*V.—The Confederates ...
Irish Cos * r _ DE _ ATio _* v . —The confederates met as usual at Cartwright _. Coffee-house , _Redcross-street , on Sunday evening . Mr Henry Tucker filled the chair , and said , —He was glad to see their members ( increase , —he had attended their meetings with delight , and he had no hesitation in saying that if the spirit and liberality , propriety and good-will , which he bad witnessed in that room , was not deriated from at their future proceedings , it wonld occupy no small share of publie attention . ( Cheers . ) The secretary read the letter from the Bishop of Deny to Morgan John O'Connell , & c „ from the Nation newspaper , which elicited the admiration and thanks of the
meeting m the following resolution , proposed by Mr Dwain , and seconded by Mr Mauley : ' ¦ That the marked thanks of this meeting and ofthe people o Ireland is pre-eminently due to the Most Rev . Dr Magi __ , Catholic Bishop of Deny , for his inimitable _castigation of Morgan John O'Connell <_ Co ., for his participation in the ever-to-be-loathed project of Canadian ( _Colonization . " Mr D . contrasted the place-hunting propensities of Mr J . O ' Connell with some of the worthies of Ireland . Arthur O'Connor , when member ot the Irish parliament for the town of Burgh in the King ' s County , resigned his seat , and flung the letter of Pitt , offering him an estate and peerage for life , into the fire ; spurning _dignify and wealth , —he preferred exile to profligacy . The noble-minded bishop was worthy of his episcopal
brother , the Derr _** of ' 82 . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Sullivan spoke against the "Liberal Transporting Scheme . " He was not against aproper system of emigration , bntso long as there were millions of waste lands in Ireland , it was ridiculous to send the people to look for an existence elsewhere ,: it was a plan to increase the power of monopoly , aad would not be tolerated for a moment , if the people had a proper system of education ; bat s » long as the people were ignorant of their social and political rights , so long would thej- be made cats-paws of by knaves and sham-patriots . Mr Martin spoke in _^ favonr ot national education and political instruction ; after which the secretary and others addressed the meeting on their prospects and hopes . The meeting then separated much gratified with the proceedings .
_W-smssTER . D _ b _ t _ "g Socestt . —This fast-progrossing and eminently successful society held their weekly meeting on Saturday evening last , in the large roem of the Temperance Hall , Broadway , for the further consideration of the question— " How did " rel _ -d lose her Parliament ; and what bave been the effects of the Union of the two Countries ? " Mr Trumble opened the debate , and in an excellent speech proved that the people of Ireland had never been parties to the Union . Mr Bswler followed , and in a very sensible address showed the necessity for the Irish people being united to obtain Repeal , and said , that it was the want of Union that had caused her to lose her Parliament . Mr Ashe next
rose , and attacked the priesthood of Irelaud , as the betrayers of Ireland and her independence . Mr Broome next spoke , and most eloquently defended the Irish people from the charges of ignorance as to thenatnreof their rights , and said that ,-bad they but had the power of exercising their knowledge according to their will , Ireland would not hare allowed a few designing men—political traffickers—to hare robbed her of her legislative power . ( Uear , hear . ) Mr Cathie and several other speakers addressed the meeting , and a motion of adjournment havingbeen unanimously carried , the company separated . The discussion will be resumed this ( Saturday ) evening , at half-past eight Usited _Pathi-Ech . ' Benefit Societ _.. —At a meeting of the directors on 21 st nit . the
deputation appointed to wait on T . Wakley , Esq ., M . P ., gave in their report to the effect that that gentleman had consented to become a patron ofthe society . The directors agreed to the annual festival of the society taking place on the third Monday in June next , at the Bays water Tavern , Bayswater . A deputation was appointed to wait on T . S . Duncombe , Esg ., M . P ., to solid his taking the chair , also to . ait on T . Wakley , Esq ., M . P ., F . O'Connor , Esq ., and other gentlemen , to favour the institution with their attendance . The address to the members on the fourth anHU-1 statement of the receipts and expenditure was agreed to , and ordered tobe printed with the annual statement ; the same to be issued as soon as possible , with the tickets for the annual festival .

The adjoining house , No . _H , was also injured . —A fire broke out between 8 and 9 on Thursday evening , on the premises ol
Mr Moritz , Berlin wool-worker , 130 , New Bond-st . The firemen succeeded in getting the mastery over the flames before they had extended beyond the shop in which they originated . —Whilst the engines wero at the above fire they were called to another in King-street , _Portman-square _, upon reaching which it was found that whilst a child was retiring to bed , a spark flew from a candle and set the bedding and curtains in a general blaze , belonging to Mr Pettit , coffee-housekeeper . "With great difficulty the child made his escape , and the inmates succeeded in getting the fire extinguished .
A few days since a mason , who was sawing a blook of freestone , at Abergavenny , Monmouthshire , found a live frog in a small cavity , which was nearly three feet distant from any fissure in the stone .

National Trades' Association For The Pro...
NATIONAL TRADES' ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROTECTION OF INDUSTRY . " _Dnton / or ft * _MiHt-n _.- * In alate number of this paper we candidly expressed to our numerous members and friends that whatever success had hitherto attended our endeavours , or however popular our Association had become , that we had nothing whatever to thank the Newspaper Press for , in promoting our utility , save and except the inestimable privilege we enjoy , of having a portion of the columns of this paper allotted to our use . In again adverting to this subject
we preface onr remarks by observing that we do so not in the language of whining complaint , nor vet in giving expression to feelings of mortified pride _, that the Public Press generally appears not to consider us deserving of their notice , but in consideration that it is onr duty-to avail ourselves ofa passing occurrence , in which this omission of the Public ' Press is exceedingly manifest , with a view to stimulate the working classes throughout the country to redoubled exertions by candidly assuring them on the evidence of palpable circumstances , to which we allude , that . their emancipation entirely depends upon their' own energies , and to point ont to them the obvious _derelictionflf duty with which the Public Press is chargeable , and that the silence which it
generally observes towards us is not attributable to ignorance of the fact of our existence , together with a knowledge of the objects and purposes of our Association , and of much of its usefulness in the prevention of strikes , & c , but to their own sheer neglect , while a perfect knowledge of those facts are staring them in the face . This will appear very obvious when we remind our readers that during the debate on the Education Bill in the House of Commons on Monday evening week , T . S . Duncombe , Esq . took occasion to notice this Association as an instance of the growing intelligence which he contended was manifest amongst working men . His remarks on the subject were reported in last week ' s Northern Star , which we here repeat , lest they may have escaped the notice of any of our readers -.
—• The working classes were not now ao ignorant as to hare recourse to the useless strikes they used to have : They knew perfectly well that in those strikes they were not able to contend against tbe long purses of 'the masters , and they had consequently formed themselves into a national and general combination of united trades , and were creating afnnd by which they would be enabled to produce for themselves the raw materials of trade , and by employing themselves in reproductive labour in their own workshops , it would be a matter of no consequence to them whether the masters took them back again or not . In the case of local injustice being inflicted on any of the trades , this Association would bring the whole weisht ofits influence to bear noon
it , and so interpose an efficient barrier against the commission of those acts of oppression which were endured by working men when powerless to resist . This waB a new scheme , which did honour to the working men , and showed they had more enlightened views than they got credit for . He found that it had worked admirably so far as it had gone . When at Nottingham last week he had been informed by the framework knitters that . they had successfully resisted no less than eighteen reductions of wages . They were now experiencbg practically the advantages of the new system . He therefore repeated , when the government alleged ignorance against the working classes , tbey did not know what was going on in the eountry among that class .
We are perfectly aware that it is not practicable for _reportsof the whole of the lengthened speeches that occur in parliamentary debates to be inserted in the newspapers , and we are equally aware that in abridging such speeches editors and reporters will differ as to the points tbat may appear most important and best deserving of insertion , to the omission or exclusion of others which may appear to be less interesting . But with all these considerations taken into account , is it not singularly remarkable that , with the exception of the report above repeated from the Northern Star , that not a single paper that we have seen or heard of contained a word upon the subject , and we have seen a number of the
papers m which the report of the debate on Education appeared . A question arises here which we put to the judgment of every rational working man : Whether is it the most reasonable consideration to suppose that the general silence observed by the Newspaper Press on a matter which is a fact of history , and of unprecedented character , and one in which so many thousands of the working classes have taken such an interest as to . become members of the Association , is attributable to an unintentional coincidence , arising from the ordinary necessity of abridging reports ; or from a disposition on the part of the conductors of each paper not to insert anything whatever that can contribute to the growing popularity of the' National Association of United Trades ? We leave this question for each of
our numerous members and friends to answer for themselves ; while we freely state for ourselves that we feel disposed to attribute , the coincidence of omission to the cause last mentioned , which opinion \? e doubt not will be most generally entertained by all who give the subject any degree of consideration . And what ideas are associated with this consideration in the minds of reflective working men , —they by whose industry and ingenuity the land is cultivated , arts are operated , and commerce is navigated ? Is it not obvious that they are merely viewed as beasts ef burthen , and that their condition and their interests are totally disregarded , even by those whose legitimate professional duty it is to chronicle passing events which are considered to be of sufficient importance to be recorded .
It appears evident , therefore , that the conductors of the Newspaper Press do not consider our Association , with its objects and capabilities , deserving of a passing notice in their columns , even when those facts havebeen stated before the Legislature ; they do not consider that an Association which is composed of many thousands of working men , having branch associations scattered in various parts of the three kingdoms , consisting of all trades and occupations , and which is every day gaining additional members , and has in view the emancipation of industry , by means of the protection of labour and the employment of surplus labour ; the
establishment of a good understanding , on fair and equitable grounds , between the employers and tbe employed ; the discontinuance of useless strikes , and the substitution of mediation to effect an amicable reconciliation in cases of dispute ; the securing of a fair day's wage for a fair day ' s work , and the improvement of the _workingclasses _physicall _** , morally _. andint-tt-ctaaUs '¦> we say that the conductors of the Newspaper Press do not consider these matters to be of sufficient importance to merit their attention , so as to induce them to announce to their readers that the working classes are disposed to use their efforts to improve their condition , and that they have established an
National Trades' Association For The Pro...
Association for that purpose . It is our wish to entertain feelings of respect toward the conductors of the Press . We know and acknowledge their influence upon the public mind , and we freely admit their capabilities to advance any cause in which they engage . Should they consider that our objects are commendable , it is their duty to aid tis in our undertaking ; if they consider that vour objects are not commendable , it is their duty to point out the defects , and to caution others of what they consider the danger of joining with us , and to state why and whereiore we should be avoided .
But , while we wish to respect them , and acknowledge their influence , we cannot but notice the marked manifestations of their indifference , neglect , or contempt towards our Association as a body , which we can impute to no other ' motive than a disinclination to notice whatsoever may be interesting to the working classes . It is , therefore , for our numerous members and friends to consider , as before stated , that the emancipation of their order , for which we are striving , entirely depends upon their own energies , and that they have nothing to hope for from the aid of the Public / Press further than the privilege in this paper , which they now enjoy .
We are not afraid that our members and friends will be discouraged on that account j they see what we have achieved without the aid of the ' Public Press , and have nothing to thank them for ; there is the more credit due to the invaluable exception of the Northern Star , by which we have exclusively been supported , and we would add there is the more credit due to ourselves , individually and collectively . Let us , therefore , one and all , redouble
our exertions in the good work in which we are engaged , and let the marked neglect of the Public Press toward us operate as a stimulant to independence and energy , not fearing that the glorious obects we have iu view will , in due time , be accomplished , when working men will occupy their proper position in society , and their industry and ingenuity will be appreciated , and their moral influence will hare its due weight oa other classes of the community .

The Central Committee Of The Above Flour...
The Central Committee of the above flourishing institution met at their office , 11 , Tottenham-court road , on Monday , and following day , T . S . Duncombe , Esq . M . P ., in the . chair . The minHtes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed , the financial account read and received , and an immense number of letters read from all parts ofthe country , some containing the adhesion and levies of the hatters of Manchester , 170 in number , and of Denton , 200 ; Leicester fancy hosiery , branch ; Sabden block printers ; Leeds hand-loom weavers ; Newcastle-upon-Tyne canvass weavers , and from several other trades ; and also they received the following report from their agents in different parts of the countrv .
The Central Committee are extremely happy to report the successful termination of the dispute between Messrs Stocks and Tait , of Stockport , bleachers , and their men , to the number of seventy _, five , by the mediation of Mr Williamson , thus affording another proof of the moral power of the Association . Those men have been working at the reduced price for some time , under protest . The men gave the customary fortnight ' s notice to their employers of their intention to leave their employment , unless the employers consented to give the wages they previously received . Thus the misery and expense of au important strike has been rendered unnecessary by the timely interference of the Central Committee .
SCOTLAND . —KILMARNOCK . —On Monday evening a public meeting of the weavers was held in the Croft-hall , to hear a lecture on the National Association ' s new mode of protection , from Mr Jacobs / The lecturer entered into the grievances of the weavers , comparing them with other trades , and fully proved that each trade was interested in obtaining high wages for themselves , and every other trade , and that" high wages" would bring thetn all " plenty to do " this had been promised to . result from " free trade ; " but ( said he ) the employers will never give it to the employed unless they put themselves in a position to take " high wages . " After showing that only by the power of national association could this end be achieved , he concluded a very instructive address amid the applause of the meeting .
A resolution , to join immediately , was carried unanimously ; also the usual votes of thanks ; and the meeting seperated , in high hopes of the future making the poor weavers hold up their heads again . GLASGOW . —Tuesday evening a meeting of the factory handloom-weavers was held in Murdoch ' s _School-room , St Andrew .-square , when Mr Jacobs delivered a lecture on the great advantages of national association , as exemplified in the Association of Trades . The lecturer entertained the meeting much to their mind with many useful lessons : at the close a resolution of confidence in the Association was carried , and an accession of strength to the branch effected . The meeting then separated , after the usual thanks , in the best spirits .
Wednesday , Mr Jacobs attended the plasterers and sawyers , to explain the plans of the Association , to answer questions , and arrange for public meetings of the bodies . DENNY . —A public meeting was held in the Odd _Fellows ' _-hall on Thursday evening , when Mr Jacobs delivered a lecture on the wants of the working classes and the means to supply them , by national assdeiation .

MANCHESTER . —Mr Peel reports that on Monday he attended a public meeting of trades in the Lecture-room , Mottram . Mr Robert Wild having been appointed to preside , he introduced Mr Peel , who addressed the meeting at length , demonstrating the inefficiency of existing Unions for any benefit to the -working classes , contrasting the principles and practices of the various local isolated combinations , past and present , with those ofthe National Trades-Association ; and having treated the subject at great length , expressed his readiness to meet any objections , or to answer any questions for further information .
The Central Committee Of The Above Flour...
On Tuesday he attended the first delegatemeeting of the Heywood district of the National Trades ' Association . vThe ; neces 8 ary appointment of district officers w _& proceeded with , and delegates from the fustian cutters , ( who had previously Joined , ) . earners and twisters , strippers au'd grinders , powerloom ' weavers and shoemakers , gave in their names , and announced the . intention of the bodies they represented immediately joining the movement . A delegate from the painters said ' , he was instructed to go to Sheffield to attend a conference of their trade about to be held in Sheffield , and asked Mr Peel which body he thought it would be most to their
interest of joining ; he replied that not knowing any thing of the nature of the Sheffield movement ! he could not give a comparative opinion , bHt he considered it would be much tothe interest of all trades to join the National Confederation , and also toforai a general union of their own body . On the evening of the same day he attended a general meeting of the hatters of Denton , when after a most kind and enthusiastic reception , he addressed a very numerous meeting upon the allabsorbing question of the day , and at his conclusion , had the great satisfaction of receiving £ 2 Is . 8 d . as ihe _. _'fittt month's contribution _and'levies for 200 _hatters of Denton , Hurrah for . the Union !
.. STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES .-OnThursday Mr Peel arrived in this district ,, by order ofthe central committee ; and on Friday he put h ' _-mself in communication with the hatters of Newcastle , when arrangements were made for a meeting of that trade at an early date .- In the evening , he met some of the friends of the Association in this district , at the New Market Tavern , Hanley _. and arrangements were considered for an active agitation of the potters . On Saturday he attended the weekly meeting of a Potters' Lodge , which he addressed , and gave a cheering account ofthe rapid progress and extraordinary success of the movement .
HANLEY . —Important Meeting of Potters in tbe employ of Mr C . Meigh . —This meeting was held on Monday evening , at the Golden _Lionj Hanley , to consider whether thehands of this factory , about 100 in number , should join the Potters' Emigration Society , or the National Association . Mr W . Evans , editor of the Potters' Examiner and _ea-. member of the Board of Directors of the National Association of United Trades for the Employment of Labour , delegate to every Conference which has met , and one of the committee appointed at . the commencement , to frame the constitution and laws of the society , had been invited to attend to explain the objects of the Potters' Emigration Scheme , which proposes to draft off all the potters of Staffordshire , at the rate of one
per month , to an estate / our miles long , consisting of impenetrable wood , with a small portion of wild prairie , in Dodge County ( singular name ) Wisconsin , United States ! At the _suggestion of some nf the hands , who had no great faith in this new dodge , Mr Peel was also invited to attend . After the settlement of the preliminaries , Mr Peel confined himself strictly within the limits prescribed ; and compressed , within _half-an-hour , an epitome of the principles and objects , past and present proceedings , and the probable future progress ofthe national movement ; proving its efficiency to meet the peculiar position of the potters ; its perfect ability to protect their privileges and rights ; and to , gradually , materially improve their condition .
Mr Evans then rose , and proceeded to explain how-he became connected with the National Trades ' movement , and that at his suggestion the Potters ' Union in ' 45 had taken out one hundred shares , upon which they had paid 25 s ., and had never been able to pay any further instalment , from their dissensions and poverty , which he said he very much regretted . He then went into a long history of the exertion ** , he had personally made in behalf of the potters of Staffordshire , and drew attention to the immense benefits they had derived frem his exertions as editor , of the Potters' Examiner . After about twenty minutes of this perfectly irrelevant matter be was reminded that he had not yet said one word about the emigration scheme . He then went into
an exceedingly voluble and glowing account of the advantages which awaited the potters on the four mile estate in Dodge County , United States , seventy individuals having just embarked for that El Dorado , inthe highest spirits . And , in allusion to the United Trades , he assured the meeting that any attempt to raise the wages of the great staple » _amifaetureB of this country would be attended with the most alarming effects to the commercial prosperity of England , as it wonld drive these trades to the continent , and concluded bis address of halfan-hour—good measure—with expressing himself highly favourable to the National Trades , that is , after the potters had carried out the emigration to Dodge County , United States .
Messrs Evans and Peel then withdrew , each . ' _. I believe , thoroughly understanding the other . The result of this Utile drama is very satisfactory —a division of opinion existing as to the merits of the rival Association . Two secretaries were appointed to enrol the names of those present for that movement they had most confidence in , when there appeared twenty-eight for the National Trades , and thirteen for Dodge County , United States . The absent members will probably join in the same proportion , which gives the National Association a maiority of more than two to one . " Hurrah for thc Union /"

Infernal Cruelties Committed By French S...
INFERNAL CRUELTIES COMMITTED BY FRENCH SLAVEHOLDERS . The desire of the French nation to accomplish the abolition of slavery led tothe adoption of a law in July , 18 . 5 , intended as tho forerunner of that object . This project provided forthe establishment of free workshops , the granting one day a week to the slaves to enable them by theic industry to purchase their freedom , the limitation of the hours of labour , the encouragement of marriage , and the promotion of education . The instruments by which these several provisions were to receive effect were the colonial magistracy and the slave-owners themselves , who also constituted the majority ofthe former body . The practical effect has been that the law has become a
dead letter , all its provisions being utterly abortive , and the condition of the slaves , physical and moral , being worse than _eyer . There is , in fact , no administration of justice where a remedy is sought by a slave against his proprietor . The tribunals are composed of a majority of slave-owners , and if there be a few individuals in the minority disposed to administer justice , they areoverruled by public opinion in the colony . To such a scandalous pitch has the flagrant defiance of every principle of justice in the conduct of these tribunals been carried , that in some instances where they have pronounced an acquittal or a nominal punishmentagainst delinquentpropnet tors , tbe atrocity of the criminal has been sogreatbat the colonial governor has felt compelled to _exercise a discretion with which ho is invested by exiling the offender from the colony .
Amongst other horrors unvioled in the Chamber of Deputies on Monday last , by M . Ledru Rollin , were the following : — , An old woman , bound hand and foot , received 29 stripes , of such severity that her blood flew out and fell—on whom ? On herown son , forced to hold his mother whilst she received her punishment . A commissary of police struck most violently a woman who had been only a fortnight confined , and the shook forced her to keep her bed for a length of time . , , , . , A little negro boy entered a garden , he was seized on by the owner , and taken before the mayor , tbe latter drew out his penknife , and cutting off the end ofthe boy ' s ear forced him to swallow it .
A female , hve months gone with child , was _oouna upon a ladder by the four limbs , a billet of wood being stuffed between her bosom and the ladder , to render her back convex . The lash was then applied , until . premature delirery was produced under the operation of the torture . The blows inflicted upon her head broke out her teeth , destroyed one other eyef , anddepoived her of hearing : and "the man , " exclaimed M . Ledru Rollin , " who thus proved himsolf more cruel than the executioner , and more inexorable than the guillotine , feeing brought before the i correctional police , was sentenced to fifteen days * ' imprisonment I " Another female , also pregnant , was submitted to 3
the whip until her back was covered with bleeding g wounds , and then , by a devilish refinement-of tor- :-ture , a solution of pimentum and lemon-juince was is poured into the wounds . A child was BUBpected of having poisoned an ox , t , whioh had died . The head of the ox being cut off , __ , pas suspended round the neck of the child , who was as compelled to carry it until the effluvia proceeding og from the decomposition of the flesh relieved the little Ae victims from its torments by death .
