THE INFAMOUS ENGLISH PRESS-GANG . ASSASSINATION 0 F ENGLISHMAN BI COMMAND OF THE BRIGAND _WINDISCHGRATZ .
Brother Proletarians , In the course of my letters I have mora than one * denounced the jouraaBata of this country as the wont foes to popular _pr-ogress _? and mora than onoe I have shown it to be a duty _ineombent open all honest men to wage war—unceasing war—againat the wretches who prostitute tha mighty power of tha Prasa to uphold _ttaqwum . tnd prevent the res-miration of tha long * misgaverned nations . Much as the faithlessness ofthe Prussian King ia to be held in detestation—mnoh as the butchering atrocities of _sueh savages aa _WianucHanui are to be held in horror—much more mnst the part played bj the English journalists in relation tothe German
straggle , excite the abhorrence and the execrations of all true mea . Febdmand and Fbxscbick _Wouau , _Ri _»»«* t r aod _WisBUCBaruTa , _Cayaisnao and Nastais . are angels of goodness . compared with the _anonyrcous assassins of nations , who * write daggers thongh they use none , ' in tte colomns of the Tons , the Chroxicu _* _. _thePoev , and the rest of the ruffianly , * respectable' newspaper press . Some time ago , the Stabdabd declared that there needed tha example of a capital city given over to _miliiary execution , to strike terror into the hearts of the revolutionists . In the same spirit the Tuns , _Cbrohiclk . PostSta , fulminated their lies arid
, maledictions against the Viennese , and , day by day , urged the imbecile Emperor and his murder loving satellites to wages war of extermination against the brave people of that dty . Hai _Woihscbbbajs reduced the whole of Vienna to ashes , and passed the _plough-share over its soil , tbe English Press-Gang would nave rejoiced over sueh an issue of their' open and advised' _inoitementa to vengeance and de * _Btruction . ¦ ..,. _ _-,. '' , The foreign * correspondents' of the daily Journals are worthy of their editorial chiefs . The Truss of Wednesday , November 22 nd . introduced the letter of ' a correspondent * frith the following Sourish : —
I ' Wa hw beea fa-roared wttk tbo following ad , mrally graphic description of some of the events of 1 siege ( of Vienna ) by a geotl-man who only arrived in Vienna the day before the murder of Count Latour . Our _cenespoodent ii a member of the University of Oxford . ' On looking over the Oxford gen . Y ' _adm _-Mbl _* eraphie description , ' I find that he had been travelling in _Greeca , and . ' caught at Theraopylse a malaria fever / of which be nearly died . Ta seek change of air he posted to Tienna . Thtsis sufficient to show that tha ' graphic '' correspondent' is some English aristocrat , who is enabled , by devouring the fruits of other men ' s labour , to spend his time jaunting about the continent . Tbis fellow dedans that the Viennese intended to abolish property , and set up the guillotine . He knew he lied wben he thus wrote , but auch
_iieseonstitute the substance of the Tata correspondence . Being in Vienna when the insurrection burst forth , and having remained there until the city was surrounded and attacked by tbe Croats , the Oxford ' gent' foand himself compelled to take np arms on the side of' the detestable cause * of the people . In the course of the siege , he contrived to desert from the barricades to the Imperial troops , and he confesses that he gave ' valuable _information as tothe real state and disposition of the rebel forces' Here is % precious exhibition af Oxford _nioraWy and English aratocratiofewaifr . ' Of all characters a ' spy'is tbo meat detestable . This Ox ' _ord ' gent' avows that he gave all the information tothe besieging brigands , that it would have been possible for them to nave learned from a regular spy . Avowing himself an ' informer , ' he glories ia hia infamy I
But the Oxford ' gent , ' not content with having betrayed the _Viennese , offered his services to the Imperial General , that he might have « share in the _orojroing butchery . His services were accepted , and he tells with great gusto how he assisted to ' sweep the bridge' with ' a _marderous . . £ re of grape , ' and how he ' literally tasted bleod , ' whioh waa dashed over bis clothes 'when a round shot carried off the head of an artilleryman . * He speaks of the brigand Jbllacbics as 'that glorious fellow , ' whom be saw * by tbo blase of the burning houses and the flashing of 200 cannon lead his wild Croats and Servians to the storm . ' In another part of his letter , he says : 'Prom three o ' clock , p . m ., on the 25 h , until the evening of the 31 st . the fighting continued with little intermission by day , while at night the heavens were all in a _blsce with the glare of burning bouses . ' This Oxford hero , exulting over the defeat of the
Hungarians , remarks , that * three thousand of them were driven into ths Dannbe . which will roll their bodies down to Pesth—fearful tidings of their defeat' With fiendish delight ha adds : 'You may fancy what cheers sow arose from the Imperialists and what yells of despair , from the rebels , v _/ kott offers of conditional surrender were now scornfully rejected . ' I pass over his narrative of the last day ' a bombardment and final storming of the oity . ' The morning' says he * after the storm , _ws marched into the city , our clothes disfigured with bleod and dirt . ' ' Martial law , ' be adds , ' u of course proclaimed , and the leaders ef the revolt are being shot in batches at they are caught . ' Several of the chief students were shot in his presence , and his verdiot is ' served them right . ' They were not Oxford students . They had fought for instead of against the people , therefore let them perish !
I moat extract in foil one portion of tbe English gentkadm _' sbiiteti—Tha JageneUIs , the beautiful street leading to the Prater , bad beta the scene of the hardest fighting of all , as ithad heen fortified by a succession of barricades bait up to the first-floor windows in a _balf-mooh shape _, with regular embrasures , and planted with cannon , This was strewn with the dead bodlet of men aad hordes , but they , aad the pools of blood all about , did not strike us « o much as . the horrid smell of roast flesh , arising from The half-burnt bodies ef rebels killed In the hemes fired by _cotsgreva rockets , which we saw ased by the troops with terrible effeot . _H-Of of the bensss la this beaudful sabnrb are thus bar-it dawn , while the otber half are riddled with shell and shot , Oa every side you m » y see weeping wWes , sisters , and daughters , picking literally piecemeal oat of the ruins the half . coneamed bodies of their relatlres .
There ! That is what the Tons calls ' an sdmir . ably graphio description . ' When you take into account all the additional horrors ofthe sacking of the oity , which I laid before jou in my last letter ; when you reflect on tbe women violated , cut to pieces and flung into the flsmes—to say nothing of the general plunder and indiscriminate butchery perpetrated by theemqaerors , you may form a faint idea ofthe _as > _tounding villany of these infamous journalists : — < All that the mind should shrink from ot excesses ; All that the body perpetrates of bad ; AU that we readhear , dream , of man ' s excesses
, AU tbat the devil woald do If run stark mad . '——All snch horrors excite the joyous exultation of the Tuns , the Chbobich _* , the Post , and their ' Correspondents . ' ' Pools of blood , ' * the smell of roast [ human ] flesh , * and the sight ' of ' weeping , wives , rdsteri and daughters , picking literally piecemeal out of tha ruins the half-consumed bodies of their relatives . ' are horrors that might move even the fiendB of bell to feelings bf compassion , bnt they only serve to whet tfae appetite ot the Press-gang demons for further holocausts , and renewed torrents of blood
and tears . Brother Proletarians , yoa may assure yourselves that those who exult over the sufferings and destruction of your order in foreign countries , would be only too glad to visit n pon yoa and yonr friends a similar measure of their hatred and vengeance . Many an aristocrat and Oxford . ' gent ' would hare gloried in _musacring the working men of this metropolis on the 10 th of April last , and yoa oannot bave forgotten that the _Tnots did ita best to provoke such a massacre . The MoBswa Ckbosicu _* , in defending the assassination of Robibt Bjxu , remarks that : — *• ¦ a- —¦ - a _\__ Bhould the
'For our own part , wecan truly say that , Chartist member for Nottingham ever allow himself to bs caught , musket in hand , behind a barricade in the Faubourg St Antoine , we shoald not feel-the honour of this conntry in the slightest degree campromised by his being shipped off , tans fact * , to Ak geria or the Antipodes . ' The meaning of this paragraph is , tbat should there ever be an opportunity to traD 8 port , bang , or shoot * the Chartist member for Nottingham , ' suoh a termination of Mr _O'Conxoa ' a career would be hailed with joy by the Cbbouou , and the Press-gang generally , The daily papers give the following : —

_bifc . - . The last argument of Kings 'is- _* di _«* ieotion ! Be it so . But wbat if , in future straggles , the people raake that their first argument ?• . . ; The people demand JUSTICE , and-they are answered b y TERROR ; butat that gamoof TERROR , the people can also play . When men see the reign of terror whioh Kings , and aristocrats , and usurers have established , what wonder that they pay homage to the memories of those bitter foes of Kings , _asisteorata . and usurers , Si _Jcsiand Marat ? What wonder that they bare their heads and lift no thai * voices ia a _rinlahd' e

I had . also inteaded to have commented on the _Poeian straggle , the Frenob Presidential contest , and the extraordinary Reyolu * tien in . Rome , I likewise purposed to remind you oi the _t-leriotu _, though unfortunate , Polish Insurrection of November 28 , 1830 . Domestic affliction compels me to defer comment npon theso topics . _Thsre ia , however , ene subject which , in tbe fewest possi ble words ( for tins week ) , I muflt call your attention to .
According fo the daily papers , one of the latest victims put to death by erder of Wi _*< dhchobaii was an Englishman—Dr _Bsckbb , a native of Manchester . The martyr ' s only offence appears to have been that he bad edited a Radical _jenrnal . For that ' offenoe' he was tried by court-martial , condemned to die , and in pursuance of that sentence was executed . It is _ssid , that on being informed ef the sentence pronounced by the court-martial , the English Ambassador protested against it . His protest was , however , treated with contempt , andthe unfortunate Englishman was executed . Can this be true r I fear ao . England is no longer respeoted or feared . The nations : of the Continent hate , and their governments despise us . They are' justified . ' Our base submission to tyranny at noma , and . the doings of our vile Frew in _ohampionising despotism
everywhere abroad , account for the estimate in wbioh Englishmen are held by the nations and governments of the Continent . Besides ,. _Wusuchobais well knew that the protest of the English _Ambassadtr was a sham . The Austrian savage felt assured that tbe British government wonld : make ne real attempt to protect or avenge a Radical Englishman . An Englishman has * been _astattinated—deliberately murdered by the agents of . the Austrian Emperor . What shonld be done ? I will answer this question when more folly informed of the particulars of this tragedy . 0 ! for oae hoar of _Cbcsiwbii , ! 0 ! for Englishmen as they were before corrupted by commerce , and spirit-broken by poverty ! Ol for the hearts and the hands of our fathers in the days of the . 'Commonwealth '—

Indeed , th s _weik of benevolence _seema peculiarly adapted to . and should oall forth tbe energies of , the fimale mind ; for wbat more noble or pleasurable employment can a woman find , after the performance of ber domestic , duties , tban ia exercising ber talents in tbe formation of come useful or fanoy artiole , _poneojed . by tbe reflectiofa tbat ber industry will counteract . the _venemous 'ting of tyranny , dry tbe wi _3 owb' _*' and orphans' tears , and shed the sunshine of tbe heart npon the bouse cf the desolate . A fancy fair , or a thousand otber methods might be adopted for the disposal of such articles , and philanthropic purchasers would crown such a laudable work with success .

Horrible Murders At Stanfjeld* Hall; Hea...
HORRIBLE MURDERS AT STANFJELD * HALL ; _HEAR WYMONDHAM . A most horrible _assassination took plaoe on Tuesday at Stanfield Hall , sear Wymoadbam , . Norfolk , tbe seat of I . Jenny , Esq ., _Recorder , of Norwich . . It seems that Mr Jenny was ealled ont to speak witn a person who asked to aee him , but ban * scarcely entered tha _drawiag . room before he waa _eW through the heart by the stranger . Mr Jenny ' s sod , hearing tba roport , rutbed into tbe room , and was shot through the side . His wife and her maid also came * down to see wbat was the matter , snd were both fired at bj the ruffian , and severely wounded . —Mr J jrmy , jun . » died almost immediately after _receiving the wound in his side . The servant , who was shot throogh tha thigh and head , is net expeoted to survive , and Mrs Jermy , who waa wonpdtd in the shoulder , haa
undergone an amputation of the arm . —A mar- , named Rusb , who bas spent a considerable sum in law suits with Mr Jermy , has been apprehended on suspicion . —Mr Jermy was tbo Chairman cf the Court of _Qtarter Sessions , and o & e ofthe magistrate *) , of theoounty . _.,,.-. _< _-, ,. Stanfield Lodge or Hall , with the surrounding property , formerly belonged to a gentleman named rres * ton , and both the deceased gentleman ( Mr Jermy . sen . ) , and Mr James B , Rush claimed to be _ceir-at * law to the estate . Fer _eweial years tho two parlies hadbeen in a state , of litigation . About seven or eight years ago ,. Mr Rush went and took forcible possession of Stanfield , and during the period he so
held possession , Mr Jermy resided , at No . 3 , Surrey-Square , Norwich . Tbe usual process of ejectment to recover the estate proved unavailing , and it waa found necessary to obtain the aid of the military , in addition to tbat of the civil power , when Mr Rush was forcibly put out of the house . Since then a strong and „ bitter feeling against the learned gentleman and & * » family hasbeen manifested by the accused , but it was never contemplated that it would have sueh a tragical termination . Mr Rush's family ia one of great respectability ,- they / arm _s large property , partly freehold and partly leasehold , and nave been held in considerable estimation by all olasses ;
Mysibbious Poisonikoof Seves Perssks-Ou6...
_MySIBBIOUS _PoiSONIKOOF SeVES _PeRSSKS-Ou _6 Of the most singular and mysterious oases of poisoning that has ever come under our notice occurred on Friday week at the Old Swan , near _Liverpool . Ona of tbe children of the gardener of the Rev . J . A . Wilson , May Place , purchased a halfpennyworth of common Spanish liquorice at a small shop in the village , aid shared it with his seven brothers and sisters . Shortly after having * a ' . en it , the whole seven were _Beizsd with the most urgent _lymptoms of poisoning ; incessant vomiting , burning uain . intha region ef the stomach and eyes andforehtad , wbioh in two of the sufferers was acoompanied by tbe ap * pearance of Bpectral illusion ? , such as sometimes at * tends highly exoited state of the brain and
circulation . Medical aid was immediately oalled in ; _vbiobj , for some time , appeared unavailing . Although the violence ofthe symptoms waB considerably _mitigated , excepting ih one base , where the sufferer had violent vomiting of blood , the whole of the sufferers are , we understand , still in considerable danger . No efficient cause for these alarming effects haa vet been discovered . Under present _ciroumatanoeafio _btatna can attach to the _veedor of the liquorice , as he doea not manufacture it himself . It is unfortunate that nose of the liquorice used by the ohildren remains for examination . Some , however , purchased from the same person is , ' we understand , about to be submitted to chemical analysis , when it is tb be hoped some light will be thrown on this painful aBd
mysterious case . Firs at Glasgow . —Abont half-past ten o ' clock on Monday night , a fire broke out in the premises of Messrs Kidston and Waters , o Jour-merchants , Washington Street . From the great quantity of _varnieb , turpentine , oil , & a ., kept on hand , the flames spread with great rapidity , and soon obtained such ascendancy that every part of the building oaught fire , and burned with uncontrollable fury ., _Immediately adjaoent to the paint shop , from which it was only separated by a partition wall , stood the premises of Mr Strainers , whip-twine manufacturer . ' From the _direction of the wind the flames also _caueht
bold of tbe latter buiiding , and , notwithstanding every exertion , no part of the building escaped destruction ; even the brick wall . * , from the fierceness of the heat , crumUed and fell inwarda . The flames were confined to the properties already _mentioned _, whioh , however , were entirely consumed , scarcely anything being saved from tbe wreck . The buildings were the property of Mr L ddle , and were formerly occupied by him as part of the Globe Foundry , which still carries on operations in the immediate neiithbcurhood . All the sufferers by the fire are insured . It isnot known how it _origin-, ' e- _* .
Alleged _Fashionadlh Swindling —A person has been apprehended in Edinburgh on a charge of forgery , who during the last few months mixed' ' freely in the higher circles of sooiety there , and lived ia a fashionable and expensive style at one of ; the principal hotels in the city . It appears that he , ,, had _MBumtd high military rank , and had cxten . . . _sively patronised various establishments , chiefly clothiers and mercers , from whom he obtained a ' large supply of _articles , at fint by paying cash down for the goods he purchased ; but having sue- ;
oeeded in establishing his credit , he then transacted business upon a more enlarged _soile , aod suddenly left the oity without settling the numerous claims against him . Tho immediate cause of his abrupt departure W . S , however , the discovery of a forgery of whioh he had been guilty , for a limited sum , the person whose name he employed being at present on _servioe in India . He was traced to Hull , and having been apprehended there through a telegraphic message transmitted tbitber by the superintendent of police here , he haa been conveyed te the gaol ia Edinburgh .
