" Hubbard had no conception at the time as to the
rant ef the individual by whom he was addressed , and his Teply was , seeing that the Duke wore large mustachio 8 , " If I were you I would cut off those black patches you wear upon your upper lip , and I think it would improve your beauty . The Duke paid , "But it is my fashion . " Hubbard—" Well , if it is your fashion to wear so much hair over your month , it is my fashion to wear the pair of whiskers you now see , and-I ' shall not cut them off , for I have done nothing of a criminal nature that should make me attempt to disguise" myself .

Accident on Board a Steam-boat , ——As the City of Canterbury was coming up from Herne Bay , yesterday , with upward * of 140 passengers , when near the Nore , the force of the steam drove out the plug of the boiler , and in an instant the Sect of tho vessel and passengers were enveloped in Seam . The captain immediately ran the vessel on the sand opposite Sheerness , and put up signals of distress , and the Dvehess of Kent came along-side to receive the passengers , but upon the
engineer examining the vessel he succeeded in getting 5 n the ping , which he did at much personal risk , and with great coolness and credit to himself . The calm and seaman-like conduct of Captain Large succeeded in allaying the fears of the passengers , who were for a short time in a most dreadful state of alarm . The Tessel was detained about an hour , when she got off and resumed her passage , landing her passengers soon after her u ? ual time at London-bridge wharf . The engineer was scalded in die arnv , hut no accident occurred bevond this .
Fatal Effects of Fright . — -La > t week , a youth of tender years , livi . g in Heaton Norris , died from the effects of nervous excitement occasioned by fri ght . It appeared that about three weeks or a fortnight ago , he went to a show on Waterloo-road , whereat the " Bottle Imp " was amongst the entertainment * published for that evening ; The appearance of the Bottle Imp , who is represented to be a demon surrounded by fire , had such an effect on bis mind , that on quitting the booth he fancied ' that the
Prince of Darkness wjvs withhim , whether he looked before him or in his rear , or to the right or the the left—there he was also . The boy , however , took to his heels , pursued , as he imagined , by the "Bottle Imp , " and meeting with a watehman m the Hiil ^ nte , screamed in a most pitiable manner , beseeching the officer to relieve him of his tormentor . In . vain did the watchman endeavour to dissuade him that : bis fears were the result of imagination only , still the boy continued to scream , and point oat the aerial presence of the devil . In this
condition be was carried home , ever and anon resuming his plaintive sitnation ; and from this state he never recovered , for thoagh professional assistance was called in , the poor infatuated youth died from the effects of the fright . His mother was a widow with a large family , towards whose subsistence the poor boy contributed greatly . —Stockpo ' rt Advertixer . "Gloves for one Hand . A contraband speculator bought some time ago in Paris , 10 , 0001 worth of gloves for the English market . It is known that in the English Custoni-hon ? e certain goods are taxed according to the value sworn to by the owners , and that to prevent frand the Cu * tom-honse sometime * takes possession of goods at the price so
determined . In this case the pptrnl *» or , ba-ring- stated the value of the gloves at 5 , O 00 L , the amount was paid to him and the gloves retained . The speeul =. tor 5 drtermicVd to have his revenge , procured an accomplice on his return to Pari ? , and purchased 4 O , O 00 f . worth of gloves . These were adjusted and made up into two packet * , with which the two friends started , the one to Dover and the other to Bristol . At Dover the packet was opened , aad the owner stated the value of the gloves at 15 , 000 f ., which was immediately paid to him , and the gloves retained . The same occurred at Bristol . The speculator at Dover , started for Bristol , and met hid
friend half-way on his road to Dover , and e 3 cli of them with 15 , 000 f . in his pocket , waited pffriently at his post till the day of the Custom-bouse sale . At the sale the gloves were exposed , when our speculator at Bristol , bidding among other people , observed , after pretending to examine them minutely , that they were all for the leit hand ! and so in fact they turned oat to be ; purchaiers , trf course , could not be found , and he bought ihe whole lot for 6 , 000 f . The same thing took place at Dover with the right hand gloves ; and the friends proceeded to London , where it is presumed , the gloves fere a third time profitably disposed of . —Courrier Frni / cais ..
"MEI . AXCHOLY CASE OF SeLF-DeSTRTJCTIOX BY a YorsG Lady . —On 1 'rids . y an inquest was held" at the Seaccmbe Hotel , before Faithful Thomas , Esq ., one of the coroners of the county of Chester , anda respectable jury , of which Mr . John Ball . was foreman , on the body of a young lady of but 19 years of age , who committed self-destruction on Thursday , by taking an ounce and a half cf arsenic . The . many melancholy circcxn ? tanees attending the death of the lady in * question gare the ease a painfnl interest . "We understand that , though bi . it 19 years of age , she has been , in " effect , for some twelve months , a widow in t-ir husband ' s lifetime . Her parents , woose name is
Amphlettre-, siue at Broom , near Stourbridse , in the county of Stafford , where the deceased , a ' yonng lady . " of ' great personal attractions , Et the age of seventeen , contracted an intimacy vith a gentleman ( of the bar we -understand ) of tie name of Smyth , which ended in an union . Bat the day dreams of happiness which then " feegniled this mouthful maiden proved evanescent , and after a very brief periodsome Fix months—a st-paration took place between her and her husband . But the best and Loliest feelings of her yoang heart had been , too dtvotedlv eDgaged—ner ill-fated marriage was an event which had too fatally entwined itself with her sources of happiness—to permit unscathed , buoyant as are the
spinrs . of maidtn youCifulness , this severing first of Learts and then ofper «> ns , on whose -union , inner inj rtxsfcnce , she had vainly calculated that her cup of felicity would be ever overflowing and ever full . The shock wa ? great , and from that moment she has endured lixed , imraove& . ble , unmitigated uubappmess . Change of < cen . e " was sought by her anxiocs parent * , and they paid a vMt to Seacombe ; from thenee they proceeded on a tour through Wales , and about three weeks ago they spent seven or eight , days at Carnarvon , where the deceased , it appears , purebred the poison with which she deprived" herself of existence . Llanberris , Abergele EhlParkateand
y , g , some other places , were resl pectively visited on their rerurn , and on Sunday last they again arrived at the Seacombe Hotel in their family travelling carriage . On Thursday ' the deceased accompanied her father and mother and uncle to Liverpool ; but she returned before her parents , as she complained she was w . eary of shopping . ' "She retired to her chamber , ana when there , it appears ' she took the poison , and changed her shoes for slippers , and divesfing herstlf ef" her veil , scarf , and brooch , she returned to the packet station on the Cheshire shore , and mixed herself among the passengers on board the "Alice of Seccombe " and is
steamer ^ what somewhat naujtual with ladies she walled forward , and for a time stood near thjt lore gangway ' , ^ evidently in mental anguish . Here she ramained bnt for " a "brief period , for " after thowing'her " bonnet * upon deck , Ehe sprang overboard ; The cry of " a person overboard" goon brought the captain and the hands on board the vessel to her asristanc-e ; a boat was immediately lannched , and another boat put off from ' 'The Liverpool" steamer , in which she was picked np and conveyed ashore , and then back to" the hotel , where she expired in about two hours . Verdict " Died from the effect of poison taken during a fit of temporary insanity . "

Artists' General' Benevolent iNsTiTrjtion . —On Saturday evening the anniversarv dipner of this institution took place at the Freemasons ' Tavern . The society was founded in 1814 , and ' as there is another society with a title somewhat similar already in existence , it is right distinctly to state that the object of the Artists' General Benevolent Institntionis to extend relief to all distressed meritorious artists , whether subscribers to its funds or not , " whese works are known and esteemed by tLe public , as well as to their widows and orphans , ' merit and distress constituting the claims to its benevolence . Since the foundation of the society 566 cases have been relieved by sums amounting to £ 6204 Sir
,. T . D . Acland was in the chairy and performed the . duties of his situation in a manner which gave universal satisfaction , and greatly promoted the interest of the charity and the festivity of the evening . The announcement made by the hon . Baronet that Her Majesty had voluntarily signified her intention to be the patroness of the society was received with loud applause . The amount of subscription ;) collected in the course of the evening , was £ 444 , among which were £ 10 from the Duke of Sutherland , £ 5 from Lord Francis Egerton , 10 guineas from Lord Northwk-k , £ 10 from the Duke of Norfolk , £ 50 from the Marquis of Westminster £ 10 from Sir T . D . Acland , £ 5 from Mr . Acland ' M . P . £ 200 by bequest from Loid Farnboron ^ b fi
guineas from Sir M . A . Shee , £ 5 from Mr . Phillips R . A ., 10 guineas from Sir J . Remrie , £ 5 fi-Qm Sir D . "Wjlkie , 20 guineas from Sir D . Chantrey . Brutal Murder and Robbery near Manchester . —We regret to state the nei ghbourhood of Manchester has been disgraced by one of the most brutal and cowardly deeds that it has ever been our lot to record . The victim is a married woman , named Mary Moore , aged 45 years , the wife of Joseph Moore , a brieksetter , who lives in a lane adjoining the road leading from Hulme and Moss Side to " Withington , and not only was her life taken in the midst of the day , but she was robb ed of all the available property that -he had upon her
person . The general circumstances are as follows : — The unfortunate woman was a servant to Mrs . Chorlton , an extensive farmer , from whose house and that of Mr . Wood , another farmer , she lived at a short distance . Part of her duty wa ? , on market days , to take charge of tbe farni produce , and dispose of it in Manchester , and her integrity in this respect is universally acknowledged . It appears that on the morning of Tuesday last , she had to dispose of some fruit and vegetables in Smithfield market , and she received them there , as usual , from a lad fourteen years old named Thomas Hooley , who brought them from Mrs . Charlton ' s in a cart . About eleven o ' clock , having disposed of what she
had , she delivered to Hooley the empty baskets , and told him that she had to call at Brooktr-street , Oxford-road , at , the end of which she directed him to wait for her , and she would rids home in the cart . Hooley on arriving there , waited for some time , but Mrs . Moore not making her appearance he proceeded without her , and arrived at Mrs . Cbarlton ' s about two clock . It seems that the deceased must have been but a few minutes after Hooley , and that finding that he had gone she walked alone . Mrs . Cbarlton ' s house is in a lane to the left of Moss-side road , and it is conjectured t ; hat just before turning the corner the unfortunate woman was- struck from behind with a stick or some other heavy weapon one
blow from which , deprived her of sensation , and a second of life . After being killed , feer murderers opened a gate , dragged her in the field opposite Mrs . Charlton's lane , bead foremost , through the meadow grass , for 130 or 150 yards , till they came to a pit , v . hich is separated from the meadow by a tolerably high fence ; and what is very remaikable , this particular spot can be seen from tae deceased ' s own house , from Mrs . Charlton ' s , and from Mr . Wood ' s . Over this fence the body was thro wn , and it fell face underneath , into the ditch ,, in such a manner , that the back and surface of the water v > ere level . In this - position , it appears from the evidence given on the inquestthe corpse was found
, on Wednesday-night . Before throwing her over , the ruffians robbed the unfortunate woman of a sum , it is supposed of £ 3 5 ? ., her umbrella , a reticule , and a can . She had 9 s lid . of her own money in a secret pocket , which they did not find . The police bz \ e three young men " in custody , on suspicion of having been the perpetrators of this atrocious murder , and they are on the qiti vive for a fourth , who has absconded ^ The names of the prisoners aie Charles Leach , ana two brothers named Joseph and Thomas V * ilson . The man who has disappeared is a brother of the Wilsons . An inquest was held on Friday . Several witnesses were examined , and an adjournment took place till Tuesday . From the evidence
little was elicited likely to throw a light on the mystery attending tbe poor woman ' s murder ; but circumstances have come to the . knowledge of the police , which it is hoped may yet give a clue to the murderers . Yesterday afternoon , Mr . Alcock , deputy constable of Hulme , and police-officer Lipsett , were informed that on Tuesday alternoon a man , about 23 years of age , of swarthy complexion , and dressed in fustian clothes , was seen-in some fields near the White Honse , Sfretford new road , apparently looking about the hedge bank , as though in Pearth of something hid there . He left in consequence of persons approaching him , but was seen there
again early . on the following morning , and persons who suspected something was wrong went to ask him wnat he was lookiDg for . He refused to tell them , and went away ; but the curiosity of the parties beicg excited , they remained , ser . rched in the bottom of the hedge , and found in a piece of plaid muslin a piece of brown paper , containing about £ 3 m silver . Instead of making the circumstances known to the police then , however ,. they spent the money , but having preserved the piece of muslin , which , if it has been the deceased ' s , will probably be identified by her friends , and be the means yet of discovering the murderer . The man is said to have hed a reticule in his hand .
Floggings . —There havebeen several floggings recently in the Twentieth Foot , stationed in the Tower , in consequence of repeated acts of insubordination amongthe men , a great number of whom are mere striplings , beardless youth ' s , supplied , from < the various depots to make up for the losses Kustaiqed by the regiment while in foreign service . Desertion and absence without leave , J ^ ave been frequent ; One , on being asked bis reason for absenting Simself , said he had beeu ' to ste h ^ s , father an 4 mother , whom he did not like to be a ^ -ay fron >; ippg ; ' apd another said hie had / been home ^ to feed " bi s jrabfcitB ' . Duricg the past fortnight , some were -Jsenjtenc ^ d ; to various terms of irnprisonment , Varying from twenty to sixty days , wiA hard labour , and sqrn ' e ^^ to solitary confinement . " Amongst them were two sergeants , who , in addition , were reduced to the rank of privates . —G / obs .

The Union Workhouse at Eye and the gaol of that borough , aje Uftder th > same roof , the -k <* ys of the pnson being iathe U ^ . nds of the porlicemailw and the governor and gaoler are the same pers nu For a mag period Bubsequetit to the union , prisoners" have been confined and attended upon by the governor . porter , and servants of theunion ,, as is proved by the case of Hornet ROse ? wn 0 i 3 ; still in the house . . ThiB pan per , a single woman , and ^^ about 35 years of age , reiused to perform some work ,: which would have obliged her to consign to another uautiHr a sicklv
infant wfaicb she was then / nursing , ' and was in consequence of that reiusaU punished by solitfity imprisonment , with , her infttnt , for a , week , in the depth of winter , and without fire or candle . : The breakfast for men , women , and children , consisU . of bread and gruel ; -and this is ? , or was in 1837 , the Hartismere gruel recipe for 97 breakfasts : —To a pint and a half of groats add twoor three handfuls of salt ; throw these lugredients into as much water as will give a pint and a bait to eacU man and woman aud one jjnnt to each child , under 16 , and an economical beverage is produced . For dinner on three dttya , and supper every eveiiingi , is given to each man and woman an ounce of "fleet cbeesp , " vrorth it is said , about twopence per pound , with bread r' r "
. The cravings of bunker have been ^ iknown go to over come a man named Throw ,, t , wfaeu an inmate , as to have induced him not only to eat potatoe peeling from the gutter , but to lift up the fall-door ot the cistern into which they had been carried , and transfer them from among all manneroifikhinto his ownstomacbi ^ llenry Albridge , a pauper , being diseased with the evil , was inttie hnhit ot applying a brail poultice to his foot every evyuing . Oft the occasion referred to , however , the poultice had remained a day and a night , two sores having all the while being disciiarglngmatterinto tiie poultice . It was between 4 aud 5 o ' clock in the afternoon ( some men standing
nhpnt him ) , vrhen having dressed tho wound , he ca » t the poultice upon the . fire . After it had : become warm , a man of theuiime of Robert Gairratt snatched it from the firfeiind devoured it with avidity , and when he was lately asked . whyhe hsut descended to the level of a , be ^ t , he said he ^ as hungry , A boy named Quintan , betVeen eleven atid t ^ ej * 6 yeara of age , having watched the mouse-trap seHi cUs men ' s attics , sttcured a mouse from it , and skinflytl , roaated . and ate it in the men ' s sitting room , and in their presence . The Governor say ^ i lie considered it a lark . The boy says he was hungry . The opiiiion ' given of this dietary by those wbo have practically experienced its effects is , that the allowances are uot half enough , and not sufficient
to support natiire . That after dinner '; men feel more hungrj' than before ; that the Ipswich gaol allowance ' .. of 28 pz . of bread per day , and 14 oz . of best cheese per week , is preferable to that of the V \ orkhoiise , winch is 18 oz . of bread per day , lOoz . of meat , and lOoz . of fleet cheese per week ; that the Workhouse cheese is not worth half of the ^ ame quantify given at the prison , and not . so good as can be purchased ih Palgrave parish at 2 d . per pound . That children , after a fortnight ' s residence , are unable to take the gruel , and that few constitutions can bear the dietary . There is no surgeon ' s book from which to ascertain the amount of mortality , and the complaints of whicli the paupers have die ., tytt an account kept 'by the Governor : ' mak ' e ' Sn it appear , that between September 1 , 1835 , and May 9 , 1838 , there occuried , 33 deaths—24 of children under 13 ; 5 of paupers above 60 ; 4 of paupers between 13 and 60 . Arid , if this be correct , it is remarkable that
as many as nine of that number should have died within seven-weeks of the 18 th of April , 183 / , as appear from the statement given by an inmate Uuruig that period * as follows :- ~ ' ^ While I was in the house , ( seven weeks ) there were nine deathsone an old woman , arid eight children . I think tour oftliem were brought down by the bad gruel , which seemed to putrify . their iusides . One of the four ai > ° f the measles ; another was taken one day with hoarsfinesfa arid a cough , and ! died in the evening of next day , without tibe surgeon having seen him , for he was from home when sent for . One died from a turt , and b . e was three-quarters of a yearin an ailing' condition , as 1 was told , aud died the biggest ; object I , ever , saw , his bones pricking tlirougu before his death . , 1 tliiuk he vi a * going four years old , and was a chance child . The last was a boy of : the name . of Thornton ; he died from want ns I beliuvt ! , for when he came in he wasahuev lovely cliild , and . He ; p"iued "b y degrees , arid died in about six or seven weeks : ' . ' .
40 women and children , of-. all ages , ( states the same informant , ) slept in one room , and the stench was enough to pufrjfy a healthy person . There was not Jin hour in the night but a woman or a child was upon the obair . r Lice were prevalent , ' and we hear of stockings being worn for six weeks , and gowns for months together of three children being received into , the house , and not , afforded any change of IirieWor clothes for 17 days , and tbeir mother no other cbarige fij . an agownift which to appear : ¦ before the board . Two instances 4 n proof of this negligence will suffice . When the stockings of Charles Crackling , wbich bad been worn for six weeks , were taken off , they swarmed . with lice ; and the flannel worn round
the neck pj" Swab Page wag . found to be covered with . ' the same description ijf vernrinl " .. . For disobedience to tbe porfier ' s orders a inan named Perry ; was in the early , part of 1837 haiidcutredljy the governor , aud made to sleep or remain iii bed all night in mariacie ^ . ; A youngi ' woxaati named Elizabeth Booty , between hftten _ an d sixteen ; years of age , ; thongb pleading illness as her exeuse for not having pertormed her task at lace weaving , received two strokes on the head fronx the governor ' s , hand : arid iist ,: and afterwaWs a cut across the shoulders , from h ^ cane , and fainting ^^ iri c 6 nseq . uence , was carried up 1 stairs to bed .

O'C 6 nnei , l ' s political catalogue , ifot a grievance r then complained of , now excites his wrath , ; or sweUa his indignation ; all has been sunk in ; the base , traitorous design of silencing , by the wages of corruption , those who , if unprovided for , woulibe
turned into accusers , and of pensioning his friends and his family upon the country . Curing t ^ e Vice-llegency of Lords YfELLESLEy and Had * dington , the general ferment was' sufficiently kept up by the protected ascendancy of the Orange faction ; while during the administra tion .-of Lord Mulgra VPj the ; triumphs of the popular party have consisted in the formation of a middle class ascendency . Popular discontent has been smothered in the anticipations entertained from th © rule of new local authorities , who require but th ^ fiat of law and the sanction of eusg ^|^ fertlange
places with , and be as great tyrants as , those rulera against whose dominion the people haW so longcoBtended . After so great a change as that promised by ihe Reform Bill , surely the first six yeaw should have produced some of the promised benefits 5 but , on the contrary , we findj that after the / first flash in the pan of opposition to the Coercion Bill and the Repeal of the Union , each seipon has brought with it an increased surrender upon the part of the people , increased turpitude upon the part « £ their leaders , and increased tyranny upon the paffc of their rulers . When nations declare that the
existence of an Adminiattatl / m 3 epon 4 o upon ecu indjviduar # breath , we niust naturally conclude that , the indiyiduaLis the organ of a party iriore powerful than that which theGovernmentJepresento j and ^ tfe raiist iovagine his view ? and opinions to be in unison with those of the .. majority , of the people . His station ; we mu ^ t suppose to be sustained by his support of liberal measures , and b y his opposition to the usurpation of a party . . Wje have , however * but to take abriff review of the last session , and we find Daniel O'Connell either Directly sanctioning , or hypocritically abstaining , ' fronl denouncing the most flagitious acts of a most corrupt administration . Had O'Connell raised
His voice in favour of justice to Canada , Canada would have had justice . Had he , who professes jto hate the : shedding of blood , Interceded for the murdered patriots , their lives would have been spared . Had the support of the working classes been still necessary for the preservation of ' O'Cow- ' Nell ' s . power , the Glasgow ^ Patriots would now have been ' a comfort to their discorisolate families . Had O'Connell not lived ' upon Irish poverty , the poor of Ireland would have had a resting place and a home . ( If tbe Government system of Poor Laws was bad j why ; did not he , from great experience , introduce a better ?) If O'ConneIl- bad been W
Christian , instead of a political'Catholic , the foul brand pf the Law Church Ascer ^ dancy , would long ; since have been removed from the ; forehead of the brave Irish Roman Catholic . Had O'Coknell not been the tool Of the money mongers , the white infant slave would have been protected frprri the tyrant ' s lusfi Had Mr . O'Connell not dreaded the united virtue . of a fully represented community , each , man would ere now have been the part nominator of his repre- . sen ^ atiTe ; and bad O'Connell not-been ; a traitor , Ireland would no'v have been a land offreedomi
peace , attd contentment . -To the ignorance , tbe vanity , and the lewdriess of Lord Melbptjrne- ^ - the poverty , tbe love of anyhow-distirictipn of Lord John JRossell ; the determination to uphold political station of the petty officers of Government , ana the power which religious inequality in Ireland , has given to Mr . O'Connell , we attribute the great popular discontent , which nothing short of a just representation of , the people ever can allay . To have attacked any particular measure of the Whigs , dufiag the Session 6 f Parliament
andin a weekly paper , would have been mere waste of tin « e , and , therefore , ws deferred a revision of their general policy ; until the close of the Session , which thank : Providence is now at hand , During the recess we . shall prove to the English people , that the necessity for a bad state of society , in Ireland j in order to up hold O'Connell ,-that be may support the Whigs , has been the , wholecause , not only of Irish , but of Imperial mrseryTaBdiConipldirit . We shall continue our . examination- of - Mr . lO'Coiinell ' s acts , from th ^ riperiodat which ' we left him
in our last series of letters and shall show by reference to them , that every prediction , which we therein hazarded , has been verified to the letter . W ^ th . ti ^ e . pageant which has taken place , and the slight damp which the imposing , novelty may ¦ -throw upon " agitation , " we have nothing to do ; Bor do we i hazard any opinion as to the ; riewi ; character , whict Mr .- O'CoNliEtL may perform in the -farce . * la opposition ,, however , to the general as | ertioh , -we do 'riot think that he will sacrifice his iridirecfc mode of serVing himself and his friepdsj for -the
