"KIAOABA . I have seen the cascades of the Alps with their chamois , and those of the Pyrenees with their izzards . I have not ascended the Me high enough to meet with its cataracts which there degenerate into rapids . I speak not of the-azure zones of Terni and Tivoli _, tbe elegant drapery of rums , or the subjects of the poet ' s song—Et _prseccps Anio ac Tiburni lucus . * " And thc rapid Anio and the sacred wood of Tibur . '' "Masara eclipsed them all . bridle twined around
Iwas holding my horse ' s mv arm , when a rattle-snake rustled among the "brushwood . The terrified _anhnal reared up and recoiled in the direction of the fall . I was unable to _disengage mv arm from the reins , and the horse , heeoming everv moment more frightened , dragged me after hini . Already his forefeet had left the earth . Leaning over tlie margin of the abyss , he -was prevented from falling only hy the pressure 01 the reins . It was all over with me , when the animal , astonished himself at his new danger , wheeled -round with a pirouette . If I had quitted the world in the _midstof Gauadian forests , would my soul have carried to tbe supreme tribunal , the sacrifices , the good works , and the virtues of the father Jbgues andLaliemand _. oronly vacant days and miserable chimeras ?
, . This was not the only danger I encountered at _Xiao-ai-a . A ladder of hind-weed served the _savages for descending into the lower basin . It was at that period * broken . "Wishing to see the cataract from below , I ventured , notwithstanding the remonstrances of my guide , npon the side of an almost perpendicular rock . _JfotwUhstanding the roar ol fte water which boiled above me , 1 retained my _stea-liness of head , and reached within forty feet ot thehase . Arrived there , the naked and vertical rock no longer offered me any support . I remained suspended by one hand from tbe last root which 1 met with , feeling my fingers every moment giving -way from the weig ht of my body . There are few -men who have spent during their life two minutes such I then reckonedMy weary band at last

My guide , -who was gaziug at me from above , and to whom J madesi-rnals of distress , ran tosummon the savages .

fighting against the Eepuhlicans , which only resulted in the discomfiture of the aristocrats he quitted the ranks of theGermans , intending to go to Jersey and from there to Brittany , to join the Breton royalists . Almost destitute , and -with a journey of two hundred leagues hefore him , he found himself attacked hy smallpox , and suffered _terrihlemiseries . Ultimatel y reaching Ostend _, he embarked for Jersey , but was put ashore at Guernsey , apparently dying , - I was apparentl y fated to excite compassion . The wife of an English pilot happened to pass ; she was touched on seeing meand called her husbandwho _T _^ _^
, , , assisted by two or three sailors , carried me into the house ofa fisherman—mc , the friend ofthe waves . They laid me oh a comfortable bed , in snow-white sheets . The young seaman ' s wife took all possible care of the foreigner ; I owe my life to her . The following morning 1 again embarked . My hostess almost wept when parting from her patient ; women have a heavenly aud instinctive compassion for misfortune . My fair and lovely guardlin , who resembled a figure taken from the old English engravings , pressed my swollen and burning hands in her fresh and lovely fingers ; I was ashamed that so much vileuess and misery should come in contact with so many charms .
He reached Jersey , and subsequently London instead of Brittany . New horrors met him , and more than once he * was in danger of perishing of hunger . A countryman and companion in misfortune , named Hingant , lodged with CB . \ TEAJJimiAm > .
SUPFEBISGS Of THE "EXItES . "When we reached our last shilling , I agreed with my friend to keep it in order to preserve a semblance of breakfasting . We arranged that we should purchase a loaf at two sous ; that -we should allow them to bring up warm water and the teapot as usual ; that we should not put any tea in it ; that we should not eat the bread , but drink a little warm water with a morsel of sugar which remained in the bottom of the sugar basin . Five days g lided on in this manner . Iwas devoured with hunger ; I was burning hot ; sleep had wholly deserted me . I sucked some fragments of linen which I had dipped in water ; I chewed grass and paper . "When I passed before the bakers' shops ,
my torments were dreadful . One severe evening in winter , I stood for two hours riveted before a shop where dried fruits and smoked viands were sold , drinking in with my eyes all that I beheld . I could have eaten , not only the edibles , but the boxes , the baskets , and the panniers which contained them . .- _~ , - On the morning of the fifth day , almost expiring from inanition , I drag myself to ffingant ' s house ; I knock atthe door , it was locked ; I call Hingaht , who is some time without g iving any reply ; at last he rises and opens it . He was laughing in a wild and unnatural manner ; his riding-coat was buttoned . He seats himself before the table on which the tea-things were placed . " Our breakfast is just coming up , " said he , in an extraordinary tone of voice .
I fancied I saw some drops of blood on his chemise ; I hastily unbuttoned his riding-coat ; he had given himself a stab with his pen-knife , about two inches deep , in his left side . I called out for help . The servant hurried out to procure a surgeon . The wound was dangerous . This new misfortune obliged me to come io some determination . Eingfint had been a counsellor in the Parliament of Brittany , and he had refused to accept the stipend which the English government
granted to "French magistrates , just as I had refused the shilling _a-day given as alms to the emigrants . I wrote to M . de Barentin , and disclosed to him the situation of my friend . _Hingant ' 3 parents hastened to liis side , and brought him with them to the country . At the same moment my uncle , De Bedee _, sent me forty crowns—the touching oblation of my persecuted family . I thought all the gold of Peru was hefore me ; the pence of the prboners of France served to support tbe French exile .
We must leave untouched the episode of " Charlotte , " who first excited love in the frozen breast of our " antobiographist . After an exile of eight years in England , he returned to France under a Swiss name , there to prosecute his career as an author . The account ofhis impressions of Paris in the year 1800 , when France was yet nominall y a Eepublic , although _Buosapakte was then preparing to assume the purple , concludes this volume .
The _Autobiography of CnATEA-aBRiAND is a work which no reader should he ignorant of . Although not free from defects , it is , on the whole , exceedingly interesting , and abounds in passages of heauty , the equal of which can be but rarely met with .

Chartist Tracts for the Times . . No . VII . Chartism , and the Charter Defended . By the Kikkdaie Ohariist Prisoners . London : Watson . Tins tract is devoted to an ahle and impartial sketch of the rise and progress of Chartist principles , from the time of the Keform Bill agitation to the Whig persecution of the Chartists in 1839 . The subject will he continued in number eig ht . In placing the Chartists , and their principles , in their true colours , before the public , our friends are doing good service to the good cause—service which cannot be too highl y appreciated by their brother democrats . We select a few extracts : —
THE WHIGS . The doings of the _"Whiirs during the asritation are fresh in our memory . The burnings at " Pristol and Nottingham . Processions , in one of which an executioner was paraded , carrying a bloody axe . Attwood ' s threat to march one hundred thousand men on London , and at the same time holding a correspondence with the "Whig ministry . AUthis , and infinitely more , was openly tolerated and _encouraged , without a single individual being arrested .
_llow strangely this contrasts with the treatment to which the Chartists have been subjected by these brawlers , and incendiaries of 1830 . But there was <* _-ood cause for this . The Seditionists ofthat day were rich men struegling for the supremacy of an aristocratic factum " whilst the persecuted and imprisoned victims of the "Whig and Tory factions are friends of justice , and committed the heavy crime of opposing the usurpation of the titled and the wealthy . EFFECTS OF ME _PBOMtjiOATION OF TnE CHARTER .
The definite and unmistukeable shape in which this document placed the true principles of representation , alarmed the Whig s and doubtful Radicals , therefore , to create a distinction , and shelter themselves fromthe obloquy of openly deserting their Srcvious principles , all who had adopted tho London ocument , as their political creed , were styled " Chartists , " and thus a distinct line was drawn between the real friends of political and social progress , and thc mere pretenders . The Working Men ' s Associations throughout the country , quietly adopted the title which malignity had thrust upon them , feeling it necessary to distinguish themselves from their previous doubtful and insincere associates . This was the origin of the term Chartist , and the democratic doctrines , promulgated by that bodv , have been called " Chartism . " We feel that
the preceding facis are a full justification of the part taken bv the working classes and their friends . Thev plainly saw that , during the Keform , Bill mama they were made th e mere tools of a worthless faction , whose every pledge to the peop le bad been shamefully violated , and who used their newly acquired power to crush still lower the class who had exalted them to p lace and distinction , and they accordin » ly resolved to act for themselves for the future Manv well disposed men still feel a _hankcrinff _desire to link themselves once more with the middle class ; but as for us , wcraw firmly resolved that the game of 1830 shall not . agam be played , and that if there is to be a union of action at anyfuture period , the just rights of the people must he first established . If they are _willins to add their influence to the movement m favour of the _People ' s Charter , then they will have redeemed their former pledge ; if not , they are unworthy of ¦

Even to this day , the most humane , intelligent , and honest portion of the advocates nf the Rights of Man , are designated " physical force men , levellers , & c ., hythe corrupt press . ofthe ruling factions , and their abettors . If physical ; force Chartism means a comprehensive and entire _change intlw-e institutione which tend to enrich theidle and send the grey hairs of industry with sorrow to the grave —if p hysical force Ghartism means drying thc _. tcars _' of the widow _andiatherless , and g iving to industry its lawful due , and releasing mankmd from tho _irra _' _en of irrcedy tj _* _i' . * ints , —if it means the tun
and complete emancipation ofthe people , from the worse than Egpvtian bondage which they now endure—then are we p hysical force Chartists heart and soul , and should glory in the appellation . Ihe friends of liberty in all countries have been singled out from the shuffling pretenders by some degrading epithet . Why not we ? Rejoice then ! you reviled phvsical force men ! You arc thought worthy ofthe hatred ofthe enemies of English liberty and wear a distinctive badge vMch has been _th-ust upon you . The friends of political and social progression in Frincc are likewise stigmatised as Red Republicans anil Socialists . Honour to them ! May we all succeed in the establishment of our dearest hopes , man s happiness !

This _admirable publication continues its bold , unflinching course , neither turning to the right hand nor the left , but keeping the straightforward path of honest y . Its writers speak out manfull y ; witness the following from an article entitled
_IFltOVES FOB ALL THAT . "It moves for all that , " said Galileo . Said hot Galileo right , brothers ? Ay , it moves for all that ! the patriots and friends of humanity have risen , bearded their tyrants , and fallen in their own blood , God ' s nobles , the high-natured sons of Genius , have let out their lives and shut up the wealth of their burning souls on the scaffold and in the dungeon , the prophets have suffered the bloodiest tortures that persecution could invent , and the world's redeemers have been crucified and slain at cross and stake , oppression triumphed and liberty seemed dead—but , it moved for all that . ' ¦ The poor are crushed , the tyrants link their chain , the poet , sings through narrow dungeon grates , . ' s hopes lie quenched , —but . lo ! with
steadfast gam , Freedom doth forge her mail of adverse fates . , "Ferdinand of Naples , that regal dabbler in human gore , may phinder , violate , - massacre , burn , and make a hell in that heaven upon earth , Italy ; but he cannot kill liberty—she lives for ever " in the hearts of men , and clingeth fast to the footstool of God . Blum , Messenhauser , and Becher , our own countryman , have gone down to the martyr ' s grave in the first blush of the glorious dawn which is bursting on the world ; Albert , Raspail , Barbes , and Ernest Jones , are in the hands of gaolers ; Louis Blanc , Caussidiere , Proudhon , and John Mitchel , are in exile from the motherland they loved so well ; England groans with three million paupers : Poland lies bleeding at every pore , " beneath the iron heel ofthe Northern Autocrat ; but , ii moves still !
. Articles conceived in the same spirit , on _^ Kings and Kingcraft , " "The Monopoly of the Soil , " the juggle of "Content , " and " ComingEvents ; " together with Poetry to match make up a pennyworth of truth which Statesmen would do well to . digest , and which all true democrats will do well to circulate to the utmost of their power .
Suxshine And Shadow; A Tale Of The Ninet...
_SUXSHINE AND SHADOW ; A TALE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY . -. BY IKOMAS MAMIN WHEELER , _ata Secretary to the National Charter Association and National Land Company .
Chapter X . What if they failed ? 'Twcre glory e ' en to dare The proud achievement . Tens of millions brood O ' er human life in one penurious mood Of paltry thought , and miserable care ; Then shall not these the palm of triumph wear , A guiltless wreath by slaughter unimbrued ; For not by their own minds were they subdued , But by the banded powers of * * . This was a fresh era in the life of Arthur Morton , one of those cycles of events on which the whole web of after-life seems to _hang ; the mute lyre of his soul had been touched by the finger of popular emotion , and gave forth sweet and sonorous music , of the possession of which it had hitherto been
unconscious ; but the lyre once touched , its vibrations ccasednot until the fragile instrument was destroyed . In the exciting scenes that took place during the few days ofthe Convention ' s sitting in Birmingham , Arthur was a prominent actor ; the irritating interference ofa body of police , sent from London to preserve the peace , was the immediate cause of its being broken , and in the riots that ensued they would have speedily met their fate , had they not been sheltered by the military . Arthur deeply regretted these transactions : enthusiast as he was , he would have shed his blood cheerfully in any struggle , however hopeless , which might possibly result in achieving the emancipation of the masses ; but he was aware that mere sectional rioting would
tend only to dispirit the friends , and exasperate thc enemies of the movement ; it was , therefore , with fellings of pain that he gazed on that grand and exciting spectacle in the Bull-ving , when the pent-up passions of thc mass burst forth like a volcano ' s lava , scattering flames and destruction around . The leaders ofthe Democratic movement are decried by their opponents as destructives , and incendiariesmen delighting in anarchy and confusion . Despicable falsehood ! were it so , courage and opportunities have not been wanting , and England ' s mammoth cities might have been the funeral pyres of their oppressoz _* s , and blazing- beacons of a world ' s warning against man ' s injustice to his brother man . Had the leaders of the people that night been the
firebrands they are denominated , a new Birmingham must , Phoenix-like , have arisen from the ashes ofthe present one ; but they , in common with tlie generality of Britons , have a respect for propert _** , and a love of order , carried even to the extreme . Little , however , does this avail them ; their motives must be impugned , and their characters maligned , in order that the thoughtless and the inert—the mass ofthe people—may be deluded and imposed upon / under the specious plea of the rights of private property , and the reign of public order . The events that followed are matters of history , but of history that has to he re-written , to clear it of prejudice and calumny . Time , the great arbiter , will do all parties justice—more is needed not . Tlie
Convention , ushered into existence amid the sunshine of unity and hope , dissolved away amid shadow and gloom ; - many of its members were arrested , and the remainder , with few exceptions , dispersed or in exile ; nor were the men of Birmingham suffered to go scathless—imprisonment and transportation was the lot of too many of her sons . Honest and truehearted , they fell victims to the misguided enthusiasm of the moment . A tear to tlieir woes , and a speedy termination to their exile ! Had theirs been an impartial jury of their peers , they would have returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity , brought on by excess of zeal in a good cause . " Arthur Morton , deprecating this rioiin _w , and taking no Dart in the firmer of the houses in the Bull-Rin s _.
had nevertheless become a marked man ; he had displayed abilities too great to be suffered to goat largo , whilst any plausible pretext could be found for ridding the country of him ; he was , accordingly , one evening shortly after these events , arrested by Catchem and Holdem , two of the' London police , and on inquiring the charge , was informed— "Arson . '' Arthur had seen enough of life " to know that innocence was no protection in a court of justice when the political prejudices of a jury were appealed to , his resolution was therefore taken and acted , upon at once . "While the policemen were searching his papers and effects , he was descending the stairs to-the street , with one of his captors iu
front and the other behind ; . he stooped _suddenly down , seized the foremost by the legs , threw him headlong _^ jumped over hi s prostrate body , and succeeded m gaining tke street before the hindmost officer could disengage himself from his companion _^ who , partially stunned by his fall , but having a dim consciousness of his duty , seized hun by mistake for our hero . In vain did Catchem endeavour to convince Holdeni that he had got the wrong man by the gripe ; Holdem held Convulsively to his leg , and it Was only by a violent effort that Catchem tore himself from his grasp . Swiftly sped Arthur along the dark aiid narrow street , he has turned the corner , and no sound of pursuit falls ; on his ear ; he slackens his pace to collect liis scattered thoughts ,
but before he can arrange any plan of escape the shouts of his pursuers burst on his eardarkness favours hiin , they sec , him not , but have traced him by the sound of his footsteps . Onward he flies , —now he emerges from the quiet streets ; adjacent to his home , into New-street , and , walking quietly along , ' is lost : to his pursuers amid the passengers that throng the street . In sooth to say , Catchem , in doubt as to the state of his brother officer , did . hot make any strenuous effort to continue the pursuit , - feeling confident of a reward being offered , he rejoined his comrade , whom he found recovered from his insensibility . Holdem , whilst venting imprecations upon the prisoner ' s escape , laughed heartily at his own erroneous sei-7 iiriv thev then ascertained , the route taken by
Arthur , ' and suspended further' active operations until' a reward should ; enhance the value of their prey . Meanwhile Arthur , finding himself safe , hastened to the suburbs , and succeeded . in reaching Wolverhampton in safety ; , he paused , at the Cnr trance of the town _^ thinking the lateness of the hour _mio-ht cause suspicion , but anxiety to place the «* Teatcst possible distance between himself and his pursuers hurried him on , and during- the whole ni « ht he tarried not , hut pursued tho northern road until he reached Stafford ; here , pleading illness , he _en- _'ii- 'ed a bed at a small public-house , and after partaking of tea , retired to the sleeping apartment and soon sunk into slumber ; but sleep did not long exert its influenco over him ; thc mind , perplexed aud wearied , would not- allow the body to repose ; his was indeed a dangerous position , —with but a few shillii ,, TS in his pocket—without change of raiment—destitute ofevon political friends , save those _inBii'miug ham , with whom it was now dangerous to

One evening he ventured as . far as the residence of -Walter North , which he had ascertained from his landlady ; half tempted was he to knock and see what reception he should meet _frem his old schoolfellow , but prudence bade him desist . He was a fugitive fl ying from thc terrors of the law—his quondam friend was rich , and prosperous , and seldom do fortune ' s favourites protect the felon or the outcast , so he sought again his quiet lodging , though he gazed long and wistfully at the splendid mansion he had left , and well was it for Arthur that he entered not that mansion . "Walter North , a Whig economist iii politics , and a bitter reviler of the vulgar Chartists , would have thought it his duty—that excuse for every mean and vile act-Walter would have thought it his duty to his country
to sacntice private friendship on . the altar of public good , and would'have gained golden opinions with his party for-the supposed violation done to his feelings , and Arthur would have been consigned to the grasp ofthe law .

LOUIS BLANC TO ARMAND BARBES . ( From No . 1 of the Democratic Review , June , 1849 . ) " My _Deah Barbes , — 'Most generous of friends , and best of men ! Again , then , you are cast into prison , in the name of that Republic which your unconquerable soul , thirsting for justice , has so _vah ' antly served ! _,, Alas I where is the Republican ( wovthy the name ) who does not feel his heart swell with grief at the thought of all you are again to endure _aiter _suffwing so much ? " I will not speak here of the Court at Bourges ; ithas condemned you for the I 5 th of May . In the eyes of the royalists your crime is your whole life . " Because you have disdainfu ly passed bv their
lying oriicles , and their idols of clav ; because , in your generous spiritualism , you , unlike tho gloomy philosopher , refused to believe that millions of human beings must be sacrificed to lhe prosperity of a few , even as millions of acorns ' are sacrificed for the splendour of the oak ; because , saying with Pascal , that " humanity is a imn who lives for ever , and learns _uncasin-jly , " you have believed in the dogma of the homogeneousness of human existence and cares ; because you have fervently held the sublime faith that truth and justice alone are immortal , that injustice is unstable , that ignorance and falsehood may be dethroned , misery destroyed , and evil overcome ; because , for the sake of the people whom you love , and for whom you demand the right of
happiness , as well as to the Sun ' s light , you have offered up a sacrifice , your youth , your fortune , your liberty , and your life ; and , Christian amidst a heatlren society , have shown yourself a true disciple of Jesus our Master—therefore have they cursed you , therefore are you condemned . " But , Heaven be thanked , men destined to a great mission are created with the qualities necessary for its fulfilment . God in assigning to you the sacred role of devotedness , hasgiven you constancy , serenity , and strength . He has placed within you a principle of enthusiasm too exalted to he chilled by our enemies . To shak <> . you by calumny—to humiliate you by inflicting upon you the penalty of thieves and assassins—to irritate or even to distress you by
threats of the galleys and the executioner—this ha 9 _bef-n beyond their power . How superior are you to those who oppress you—you , whom they can kill , but can never dismay ! ¦ ' . When dragged before the tribunal of Paris , in June , 1839 , your attitude was the same that it has been before this court ; your answer to your interrogaters was this : — 'When tlie Indian is conquered and the chances of war have thrown him into the hands of his enemy ; he seeks not to defend himself , llC Uttei'S no useless words , he _submits , ar . d offers his head to the scalping-knife . ' And when , the next day , _Monsieur Pasquier did not . blush to say ihat you . were right , in comparing yourself to a _--avaf-e , you answered him— ' The worst savage is not he who offers his head to the knife , but he who uses it . '
' : At mid-day , on the 13 th of June , 3 , 000 Students assembled on the Place VendSmo , and took the way to the _Chancelleiie . They proceeded gravely , bareheaded , and in silence , with the manner and bearing <> f a solemn funeral . It was for you , my dear Barbes , that they came—fur you had been condemned to death . Never had Paris presented such n spectacle of consternation . The workshops were abandoned , the suburbs deserted , tlie public squares _an-l streets wer * silent—the people were sunk in the deepest grief . "You , meanwhile , ' on the eve of ascending the scaffold , were in thought only with your friends , with your party , with France !
But as noble examples were still needed , as the people had not yet been sufficiently benefitted by your sufferings , —death was not for you—acommutation of your sentence was granted to mourning Paris ; the Monarchial dungeons still enclosed you ; and afterwards , in the very palace of the Luxembourg , wherein you were condemned , and from which your jud _.-es had since been driven by an avenging Providence , it was granted to Albert and me to receive you ; your countenance changed by ten years of _suffering _, but the lustre sti 1 on your forehead and your eye still full of fire amid the acclamations ofthe triumphant people . " The sun of thosc . great davs will _shineaaain . Ay ,
let our enemies give the name of madness to your enlightened magnanimity ; injustice , oppression , falsehood , and evil—these are the true madness . And tliey would have already discpvereil th's , were it possible for madness to recognize itself ; for what wretchedness can compare to . theirs _,-, who have with them but the army- * and against them i their conscience . Are they riot in continual dread of the " possible outbreaks of poverty ? Arid amid the phantoms evoked by their terror , is there not one that for ever and ever appears before thein , which seeks , for bread - and finds but a musket- Is not To-MOBRO _*« - ! tlie word of our hope , the word of their fear ?
" That which distinguishes our age from tlmse which have-preceded it , and gives it its historical originality _^ is the character of strength and universality which now marks doctrines that wore formerly only held by a few thinkers , melancholy philosophers , unrecognised tribunes , or sects rapidly stifled , like the first : Christians—the only true Christians ! The thinker , " the philosopher , the . _tribuneT . who , in the present day , ' represents the imperishable tradition of fraternal equality , is named , in France—the People ! To ,: contain- it , fprisons are now _^ too narron _* . Our triumph is certain ' .:
"Oh , my'dear ' Barbes ! did you but know how doubly sweet and precious this conviction is rendei * _ed-by the affection I feel for you ' . I know that your- Faith , professed in your sublime speech before the tribunal at _Boiirges " ,. is to you a source of ineffable coosoJation , that . it is that which . ' raises' you ; so far above tlie mass of mankind ; that it is that Faith which renders you invincible in suffering ; for God has _fashioned you of the nature of heroes , of the nature of martyrs , and I _kno-v your heart . . - ; - _..

Stuatford Petty Sessions., Moxoat.—Sacri...
STUATFORD PETTY _SESSIONS ., Moxoat . —Sacrilege at East Ham Cnuncn — Barnard Cook was charged with having broken open the parish _ehurelt of : _E- < _ist llnm , Essex and stealing therefrom sundry-articles . It appeared , from the evidence , that about , seven o ' clock , on Thursday evening last , the prisoner was seen loitering about East Ham Church , and in the course of . in hour afterwards , as Mr . Martin , a tradesman residing in the parish , was walking near the edifice , the prisoner suddenly jumped from one of the church windows , with a bundle ; in his arms . The prisoner made off as fast as . he was able , _bukwas followed by Mr . Martin , who pursued him for a considerable distance . At length a Mr . Matthews , joined in the chase , and followed the prisoner
lor nearly an hour over ditches and hedges . After travelling several miles , the prisoner , gave signs pf exhaii 3 tioB , and plunged into a water-course : he swam across , arid was m . the act of stepping upon dry ground when Mr . Matthew captured him . The chase had extended over a distance of nearl y ten miles . Thc prisoner was handed over to the police and handcuffed .- -On -their way to ' _llford gaol , the prisoner succeeded in slipping hia . handcuffi-,- and he immediately darted off . Two farmers ) who happened to . be riding on horseback , and witnessed the occurrence , went in pursuit ofthe prisoner , and . with the assistance of a mounted _, policeman whoafterwards came up , he was conveyed safely . to Ilford Gaol : -On-examining the ehureh ,
Sorgeant Collier discovered tne carpet ot the vestryroom rolled up , ready to be carried off ; and a quantity ofthe church books , and other property , were packed up , in order to he removed . Several books and important documents relating to the church were found to be missing . —Mr . Anderson , the governor of Ilford Gaol , stated that on searching the prisoners , two duplicates were found upon him , one of which related , to a watch which had been stolen from the house ofa lady named Battle , at Barking , and pledged in "Whitechapei . Two men stand remanded- for having burglariously entered the house . of Miss Battle , and stealing the watch . —The prisoner made no defence , and Mr . Cotton committed him for trial for robbing the church , but remanded him upon suspicion of ueing concerned in the alleged burglary .
Hosiery Aud Lace Trades.—The Strike Of T...
Hosiery aud Lace Trades . —The strike of the wrought cotton hose hands still continues ; all parties seem . as determined aa ever . The harvest , however , is at hand , tho state of Ireland will prevent the usual number ofharvest men coming , and if the hosiers drive the contest a few weeks ionger their cause will lie hopeless , After some long and heavy skirmishes the drawer , p antaloon , shirt , and piece hands havo got a cessation to most of their disputes . Many of the Nottingham emigrant stockingers are returning ; more than twenty arrived by one train from Liverpool a few days since . Tho bobbin net ' trade lias not . further receded this week ; the manufacture of silk is rapidly increasing . Tho Ecole du Tissus , of Lyons , has given a great impetus to the silk bobbin net trade , but the French machines work up a very superior quality of silk , the lace being equally as strong , but very little more
than half , the weight ; the silk is specially thrown for the manufacture of bobhin-net . Wo have seen several lace hands who have boon recentl y in Lyons , but they seem to have no notion of obtaining foreign methods of making lace or _liosieiy . The exportation of machinery to France has again commenced , principally for Paris : several attempts have been made to establish tho bobbin-net trade in that city , but they have hitherto failed . The warp lace trade is yet much depressed , but there is a shade of improvement , and some activity in making window curtains , and lace to serve as frieze . Many excellent , articles are made from the warn frame , especially for gloves , the plated warp fabrics arc deficient in the quantity of silk ; this destroyed thc English twilled trade , as well as the royal ribbed hose branch , which once filled "Nottingham with riches . — Nottingham Journal .

The total quantity so charged , in the three years ending 1845 , was 90 , 122 , 5761 bs ., andin the three years ending 1848 I 40 , 182 _, 3751 bs ., being an increase in growth of 55 per cent ., and an increase in average of 13 per cent .

foreign hops retained for homo consumption amounted in the three years , 1840-18 , to 40 D , 05 _Sibs . A "fortunate Purciiasb . —Some time since a brig , at present called the Carletori , was put up for public sale at the London Dock , and was purchased by Mr . Scott , a chain lighterman , residing at _"Whipping , for the sum of £ 750 . After undergoing considerable repairs at the IS cw Crane Wharf , _S wapping , the vessel put to sea under Captain Bacon , who had become part owner . After leaving port itwas found necessary to put in at Ilnrtlcpoo ] , where , whilst thc vessel was undergoing some repairs at the interior part of tho bulkhead , 10 , 000
Spanish dollars were found secreted m a place purposely hollowed out for tho reception ofthe precious deposit . The dollars , as our reporter was informed , are of an old mintage , and very pure silver . When or by whom the treasure was deposited , it is impossible to guess ; but , at all events , Captain Bacon has reason to congratulate himself on the successful _l'CSUlt Of his first short voyage in the Carleton . The vessel , it is said , was originally . engaged in tlie slave trade off the coast of Guinea , and the treasure so curiously discovered was probably the , ill-gotten gains of some of the heartless wretches engaged in that " aboniniablc traffic .
How the Working Classes Lodge . —A curious fact , and one worthy tho attention of thc sanitory reformer , came out hofore the borough magistrates on Thursday week during the examination of Hoiioway on the charge of killing his child . The house in which the man lodged , contains six rooms , which are occupied by no less than five families , and there is a small cottage in the yard occupied by another family . One ot thc witnesses , in answer to the mayor , named the weekly sums paid by each of the lodgers for rent , from which it appeared- that the landlord realised about £ 26 per year from thus letting out his rooms , besides living himself rent free . The' house is rated at about £ 9 , and the houses in the same street ( whicli however , generally contain one or two rooms less ) average £ 10 per year for rent . In answer to a question by the mayor , Mr . Dusautoy said that , in the course ofhis professional duties , hc found many such eases of a famil y allotted to each room in a house . —Hants Independent .
