¦ Epidemic Feyer . The Beighbourhood of "Wendover has receDtiy been alarmingly affected by a contagious fever , which has proved fatal in many instances ; but the cause being in all probability of a local nature , we trust that its effects are nearly terminated . A KTTMBEB OP RUSSIAN NOBLEMEK having asked of their Sovereign permission to proceed to Milan to witness the coronation of the Emperor of Austria , and to visit Paris on their way , the first part of their request was readily granted , but they Were expressly forbidden to . set their feet on the French territory . —Courier , |
A young couple were to have been married at Marnocb on Saturday last ; but , melancholy to relate , the bridegroom died on the previous Friday , and the provisions , &c . prepared for his marriage , were used at his funeral , which took p lace on the day appointed for the celebration of the nuptials . — Aberdeen Herald . On Saturday last , the pupils of Mr . George Elkisgton , late Demonstrator in the School of Medicine" and Surgery , presented him with a silver inkstand , as a mark of their esteem , and as an expression of their sense of the assiduity and ability with which he aided them in their anatomical studies . —JZirmitigham JournaL
THERE were wo Political Disite-rs in Canterbury on Wednesday week . Numerous parties pi Whigs and Tories diced under tents , within hearing of the rattling of each other ' s knives and glasses . Mr . O Connell was the chief spokesman at the Whig entertainment . The Tories met to instal Lord Winchelsea as patron of all the Conservative clubs in East Xent .
The works of the Great North of England Railway , near Northallerton , which were in a state of great forwardness , and partly finished on the south side of the Castle Hill , were unfortunately stopped on "Wednesday evening , by the sudden fall of a-massive bridge over the Willow Beck , which was nearly finished \ by which three men have been severely injured . The House of Mrs . Robinson , No . 1 , Brompton-row , was robbed on Thursday , of plate and jewellery to a . large amount . How- the robbery was effectsd is quite a mystery , no trace of an enrry naviug been effected being observable at either the top or bottom of the premises , nor have the drawers or boxes been forced open , but bofh have evidenriv bsen opened with kevs .
Several Ricks of Hay were burnt by an inc-endiary at East Chiekerel Farm , near Weymouth , last week . No clue has yet been traced tending to the discovery of the perpetrator of this diabolical transaction , nor b-as any thing occurred to discover the incendiary in late repeated instances of the like description in this neighbourhood . The 96 th has marched from Enniskillen for Dublin . The 3 Sth , from . Dublin , replaces the 96 ; h . Two companies of the 38 th marched on Friday from Dublin— one for Omagh and one for Enniskillen . Two companies marched on Saturday for Cavan . Two compan es and head quarters were to march on the 23 d for Eaci ^ killea .
Keeping the Qreex ' s Tail up . —Her Majesry has munificently presented the Ladies Wilhelmina Stanhope , Charlotte FitzwilHam , Mary Grimston , and Mary Talbot , each -vritb a magnificent diamond ring surrounded with tiirquoises , as a memorial of the distinguished honour their ladvships have had conferred on them of officiating as trainbearers to the Sovereisn at the coronation . — Court Gazette .
Escape of Prisoners from the Tower . — On " the night between Thursday and Friday , a sergeant , corporal , and private of the Rifle Brigade , under confinement in the Guard-room of the Tower , effected their e > cape by removing the grating from a small aperture at the back of the place where iheyTrere confine *^ and thus escaping along a ledge of only ssven inches In width , till they reached the wall eselos : ne the moat when retreat became easv .
Awfully Sudden Deaths . —On Sunday last , as Mr . Bradley , brewer , of Selby , was taking his accustomed walk , in his usual state of health , he staggered into a passage and fell . On being accosted by a female , he said he was vprv poorlv and died in the effort to rise . —On Monday evening , as Mr . Empson , surgeon , of Ulceby , in Lincolnshire , was riding through the streets ofBrisg , he fell from his horse , and died instantly .
Magisterial Screening of a respectable Prisoner . —At Marylebone Office , last week , a young gentleman , " son of a elenryman of high repute , " whose name did not transpire , was examined on a charge of forging checks on Jones , Lloyd , and Company . In consideration of the respectable connexion of the prisoner , tbe magistrates thought proper to exclude the reporters from the office during the examination ; and few particulars of the charge were ascertained .
The Oastler Testimonial . —We observe with pleasure , that a committee has been formed to collect subscriptions for the purpose of malting this sincere and warm friend of the poor and of the working classes some compensation for his dismissal from the service of the Thornhills , for his nn compromising resistance of oppression . We hope that the committee intend to extend their exertions to the South . We shall be glad to give them any assistance in our power , believing that there is no man who has a better title to this aid than Mr Oastler , nor any mode in which the people can do themselves more honour than in affording it . — Champion .
DaRING AND Notel Oppexce . —Breaking INTO A Gaol . — On Saturday morning early , the most extraordinary of offences , namely , breaking into the Horsley House of Correction , was committed by some daring villains . The burglars took the ladders from the church and placed them against the outside wall ; they then drew them over , descended in tbe yard , planted them against the window of the Governor ' s office , from which they removed a desk containing a considerable sum of money in gold and notes , and returned by the same means they bad entered . In the course of the day the desk was found in an adjoining field , broken openybu ! the gold alone vra 3 abstracted from it . — Cheltenham Gazette .
- At a late sitting of the Council of the Political "Union , Mr . Thomas Attwood ' in the chair , it was resolved to call a general meeting -of the inhabitants of Birmingham and of the Midland districts of Eceland , in the fields at the foot of Holloway Head , to be held on Monday the . 6 th of August . At this meeting , tbeNational Petition for Universal Suffrage , the Ballot , &c , will be submitted for approval . " It was resolved that the different towns and
districts in the kingdom be recommended to hold public meetings for the purpose of obtaining signatures to the petition j and for appointing delegates , not exceeding forty-nine in the whole , to meet in London nest winter , and sit there as a permanent body , to speed the carrying of the People ' s Charter . The workmen , throughout the kingdom , are also to have a " sacred week , " —that is , a week of simultaneous cessation from ordinary work , and of concentrated attention to politics .
New Jerusalem Church . —Four lectures on the peculiar doctrines holden by this small but respectable "body of Christians , were delivered in the lecture room of . the Mechanic ' s Institution , Ipswich , during tbe last week ,-by the Rev . Mr . Woodman , of Brightlinsea . Much attention was excited , the room being crowded to excess upon each ' -occasion . Discussions of a somewhat interesting character took place after each of the lectures , between the lecturer and several priests of other denominations who manifested a degree of asperity and unfairness too common in religions disputations ; particularly one named Whitb y , who . had the coolne 33 to amuse the assembled company by a repetition of the silly slanders against the amiable and venerable founder of this sect propagated by his
avowed enemy , Mathesius ; afterwards retailed by the Eev . John Wesley , and since that refuted over and over again , as this Rev . Mr . Whitby must have known , if he be not shamefully ignorant of the matters be undertook to dispute upon . We do not , of course , undertake to give any opinion , on the polemic merits of the dispute ; bnt it always bespeaks conscious weakness when a disputant condescends wilfully to employ falsehood as to matters of fact as an argument . We know nothing of Mr . Woodman , or of bis talents , but be seems to have put the priests of Ipswich into a terrible stew ; and we perceive that the Ipswich Advertizer is very indignant with the committee of the Mechanics ' Institution for allowing him the room . This looks a 3 though he bad touched a sore place or two .

-Murder and Biot-jJ * Holbeach . —Mr AUcoek , the Holbeach constable , -who was so seriousl y injured in trying to quell the riot at that place on the day after the coronation , has since died of the wound he had received . On Saturday and Monday an inquest was held on" the bod y , and a very long investigation into the unfortunate circumstances took place . The jnry , after much consideration of tbeir verdict , returned one of ' wilful murder against the six ringleaders in the riot , all of vrhom are in custody , and have been committed to the county gaol on the coroner ' s warrant , to take their trials at the assizes next week for that offence . —Lincoln Chronicle .
Female Rashness . —A circumstance occurred at Newport , ( says a correspondent of a Bristol paper , ) on Monday last , which shows how unbridled are the passions of some ladies when thwarted in tneir inclinations by their husbands . A woman by the name of Phillips , wished to attend a fashionable bazaar , given for the benefit of the New Church ; but her husband objected , on account of her services being required at home , upon which she declared , if he did not allow her to go , she would immediately chop off her finger . The threat was of course treated with contempt , but strange to say , she carried her intention into effect , and no sooner -was one off than
a second shared the same fate ; when , with the most extraordinary perseverance , she exclaimed , "here ' s to go at the hand . " The hatchet ( for that was the instrument used ) immediatel y fell just below the wrist , and severed the whole of the tendon .-, but without injuring the bone . Mr . Harry Fry , a surgeon , was sent for , and the lady was destined to undergo a second infliction , by having both the stumps amputated , and her mutilated hand was dressed . She declared , in the presence of that gentleman , ( although she regretted the loss of her fingers , ) she would do the same thing again rather than any restraint should be put upon her reasonable inclinations .
\ Norking of the New Poor Law . —At the Midland Sessions , Ann Smith , aged 56 , ill clad , and apparently in the most destitute condition , was found guilty of stealing five pounds weight of bacon , value 2 s . the property of Ephraim North , a tradesman in Clerkenwell , on the 8 th instant . The jury strongly recommended the miserable woman to mercy . The Chairman said the recommendation should be attended to , and then elicited from the
poorcreature that she stole the bacon to satisfy the cravings of hunger , having been without food many hours . Chairman : Where have you been living lately ? Prisoner : In the Fever Hospital , from whence I have been lately discharged . The Court observed she should have applied for parochial relief , instead of stealing . Prisoner : I did , but the officers would not grant me any , and told me to go to my parish . Chairman : W here is you parish ? Prisoner ( weeping ) : At Durham . Chairman : It is a
distressing case . The Court feel disposed to pass a lenient sentence , and that is that you be imprisoned fourteen day ? . At the expiration of that time , apply to the relieving officer to pass you to j our parish . The prosecutor applied for the expenses of the prosecution , which the Court refused to grant , on the ground that the bacon had been exposed outside the premises , thereby holding out a temptation to the needy . John Wells , aged 52 , a miserable-looking pauper , who said he had lately left a union poorhouse , was indicted for stealing 15 s ., the monies oi James Vincent , on the 10 th instant . From the evidence of the niece of the prosecutor ( the
landlord of theCoaeh and Horses , Royal Hospital-row , Chelsea , ) it wa . s adduced that the p risoner , in his workhouse dress , walked into the bar and took three 5 s . packets of halfpence , and was walking deliberately out of the "house when stopped . In defence the prisoner said he was an old man—that he had been long hardly treated , and suffered under mental derangement at times . Verdict , Guilty . Sentence — " One month ' s imprisonment . An observation having been made on the above trials , that aged
paupers seemed to prefer the prison to the poorhouse , a barrister of long standing said that not long since a man once possessed " of considerable property and scholastic attainments applied for relief to his district " union / ' The reply of the official was , " What , a man of your ability want relief . ' there ' s a loaf for you , and let me never see your face again . " Next day he was found dying in the street , and expired in a station-house . In his pocket was found a paper , inscribed , "I lay my death on the union . "
Crtjel Treatment of the Poor in the Bastiles . —We believe the felons and rogues unhappy enough to be confined in her Majesty ' s Gaols throughout England , on the coronation day , were yet fortunate enough toibe remembered with kindness on that auspicious occasion , and to be treated generally with roast beef and plum pudding , and a modicum of strong ale each , or with some other extra means of enjoying a good dinner , and the opportunity ef drinking the Queen ' s health , and their own " better luck next time . " The very outcasts of society being , on this one occasion , deemed not altogether inadmissible to participate in
the general jubilee , a foreigner might imagine that no cUB of persons was excluded from the enjoymenBBt the festival . JBut there is a class , which has oFlate been depressed below the rank even of criminals ; unfortunates whom an oppressive law , without the warrant of its being merited , thrusts into incarceration , and to whom it presumes to forbid the Christian comfort of being visited in their prison . The paupersnn the Union Workhouses are the class that is thought unfit to receive the indulgence that is extended to criminals . It is known that the' high and puissant Commissioners of the Poor Laws have forbid the reception of presents oi
food and clothing for paupers in their Workhouses ; consequently any attempt to treat the poor creatures on the coronation day , would be a violation of this rule , but such a violation as tbe Commissioners themselves dare not but wink at . In one Union Workhouse , however , tbe attempt to adhere rigidly to this rule was made , and ( with shame be it spoken ) not unsuccessfully . The Thirsk Board of Guardians , -upon the late coronation , were requested to grant the paupers in the Workhouse leave to partake of beef , plum pudding , and ale , which had been provided gratuitously for the poorer classes . This was re / used . The Board next proceeded to
order that the paupers on that day , should not be permitted to have any extra rations , - even if sent to them . Lady Johnstone sent a message to the Board , intimating that , she would gladly provide tea and cakes for all the paupers in the "Workhouse , at her own expense . This was also denied ! On the coronation day , application was made to the Workhouse master , to know if any beef and plum pudding , which might be sent to the paupers , would be allowed them . . The answer was , that bis orders were not to allow it . On urgent entreaty , the Workhouse master permitted ( what ! is the liberty of the subject , guiltless of crime , permissive only ?)
the paupers to go out on that day ; and they were all regaled with beef , &c , except three , who were not able to walk , and for whom a good dinner was sent to the Workhouse , but sent back . On the Monday after , the Board met , and resolved that as punishment for . the paupers accepting beef and pudding , they should be closely confined . within the Workhouse for one month , which tyranny is now performing . A day or two subsequentl y , the poor wretches were looking through the locked and barred gate , when the Board , as a further punishment , took away the gate , and walled up the place . The public ought to know that , although this is whal is termed the act of the Board , it is , in fact , the work of the two Guardians resident in Thirsk :
and most , nay , all of the farmers who are Guardians , are disgusted with such cruelty , as well they may . What must he the nature of that system which enables one or two harsh spirits to act thug , in spite of public opinien , and in opposition to their official colleagues' wishes ? Were it not that these grinders of the faces of the poor have the bad law to back them , it is incredible that they could thus defy popular feeling , and offend against Christian benevolence . The inhabitants of Thirsk are ready indignantly to disclaim all participatibn in this harsh exercise of tyrannical power , and to disown a share of the universal contempt with which the people of England must be expected to regard the agents of such cruelty . —Weekly Dispatch .

' : ^ Destruction of the Llandotery Union WoRKHo ^ -On Wednesday morning last , about two o clock , the quiet and peaceable town of Llandevery was thrown into a state of excitement by the alarm being given that the new workhouse was' on
fire : crowds instantly ran to the spot , and assistance was . given to extinguish the flames , which rose to an alarming height , and threatened the entire destruction of the building ; but notwithstanding ihe praiseworthy exertions of the assembled multitude ,, only a portion of one wiDg and the outbuildings were saved of the rest nothing remains but thebare walls , which are so materially injured that the greatest part of them must be rebuilt . The building was roofed floored , partitioned , and ceiled , and was to have been
completed- in a short time . A large quantity of prepared materials , workmen ' s tools , &c , were in it when it took fire , and have been totall y consumed . \\ e understand the building was insured for £ 2 000 in the Atlas Insurance Office . It yet remains a mystery as to the ori gin of the fire , which is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary , as the workmen left the place on Tuesday night perfectly safe , nqt having had any fire near the premises since the previous morning . We trust that on further investigation the real cause will be discovered — Globe .

Several Petitions were presented ; among them , one from certain inhabitants of Newfoundland , complaining that such was the embittered state of society ,, and the extent to-which religious animosity was carried , that they were reduced to a condition in which it was scarcel y possible to have friendly and confidential communication and intercourse . Lord ABERDEEN ' , who presented the petition , begged leave to ask whether Newfoundland was under the jurisdiction ol the Earl of Durham's Government , for he was not aware of what was the state 6 f the case . Lord GLENELG stated , that the dissensions to which the petitioners had alluded , had been growing up for the last five or six years , and were all to be attributed to religions distinc-Uons and differences . As to the question which had been asked relative to the Earl of Durham , he had merely ' o state that the Noble Earl had the same power there , generally , as as he had with respect to the other North American Colonies .
Lord BROUGHAM called the attention of the House to thp announcement of a proclamation or ordinance which he had seen in tbe public papers , and which was of the greatest im-POrtaUCe to the rjHbple 6 f Canada . It was a proclamation agreed toby the Earl of Durham , in council , and which , it the Noble Earl presumed to carry into-effect , he would be guilty of no less a crime than nvuraer . Lord MELBOURNE rebuked his oldfriend , and observed , that considering the diflicultift .-bf Lord Durham ' s positionconsidering the distracted , staie of the Colonies over which he was sent to preside—considering the state of the Empire , and how deeply the empire might be affected b y what passed in that house , it was in the highest degree imprudent , and he vfOTiUaaa , unpatridtic—it . was sacrificing the interests of the country to the interests of party-r-it was sacrificing the highest objects to the desire of attacking an individual , to pass such a decided and ; determined . condemnation npon an act which had been deemed necessary by the Noble Lord , who was upon the spot , and had the best means of judging whut wa ^ ut to be done , . and what was for the benefit of the state .
Lord BROUGHAM retorted in a tone of contemptuous banter . r Lord GLENELG promised to lay the papers connected with the subject on the table of the House . . _ ;¦ The third reading of the Juvenile Offenders Bill was then moved by Lord LANSDOWNE .

Suffrage , and because the Repeal of the "Poor Law Amendment Act '' was made an agitating question for party purposes . "We now present our readers with the portrait of Sir W .

motion for their adoption ; and again we are threatened with denunciation , because he is * Malthusian , who merely " cuckoo's" the cry of Uniyersal Suffrage . YTe promised twelves portraite , and instead of accusing us , we will . thank our reader * in future to meet And select aperfectman , and they shall We him . In . short / after Cobbett and Bronterre , whose portraits are now in progrewj we will not give another portrait till general EJeeringg of our Bubscribers take the trouble to select , as they assume the privilege to dictate , and then we shall
see how many portraits we should have upoa the . stocks . at one and . the same time . JM not the . Radicals of Leeds to a man support MotESwpRTH , and has he not incurred the displeasure of the- Whigs , by being . better than the Radicals could have hoped , and worse than- t £ e "Whi gs anticipated ? , Again , we tell our party that while both Whigs and Tories preserve union , by magnifying the virtues and covering the faults of their friends , the object of . the Radicals seems to be to magnify the vices and suppress the
virtues of their supporters . You . agree upon a test of priHciple , you place Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , Equal Representation , and No Property Qualification , upon your banners . Molesworth outrages his Whig frienda by supporting one and all , and thenvou ask why hia Portrait is given with the « Star . " The reason ia ^ because , ^ as we canuo . t present you with
perfection , we giTe you the nearest thing to it ^ Our wish is to please , our highest ambition , and desire is to gratify and serve you , and as we have so failed , please yourselves irv future and we shall cordiall y co-operate in giving you pleasure ; but , in justice to Sir W . Molesworth , we are bound to say that but few have complained and one an anonymous writer , while many , very many , have approved our selection . Who has
contended for a repeal of the " Poor Law Amendment Act" more strenuously than we have ? and have we not always told you , that though a repeal of the measiire . would not ensure Universal Suffrage , that Universal Suffrage would speedily procure a repeal of the Act ? One correspondent calls ^ Molesworth the great Cornish landowner , while another says
though he does not altogether approve of him , yet it is something to find a large landed proprietor , voting , for a repeal of the Com Laws . We leave the whole question to our readers , and that jury before whom we are ever read y and willing to be tried shall judge us upon this , as upon every other question . We shall bow to their decision , but we will not dyfer to the verdict of one .

_ — . i -iSw i . . ¦ . THE NATION'S WILL . "F . or a nation to be free , it is sufficient that she wills it . " Such was the language of an eminent French Patriot , and it is surely true . If there be anything more oppressive to the mind of the benevolent lover of his country , than to see that country groaning under the shack ' ies of bondage , it is to see the great , mass of the people apparently in love , or at least content , with slavery . The cool apathy of the people , under the infliction of indignity and wrong , presents no hope of their deliverance , and
strikes the chill of despondency to the heart of patriotism . But when the distant thunder of popular discontent and excitement rolls sullenly through the political hemisphere , manifesting by its murmurs that the people have begun in some degree to awake , and to'feel their prostrated condition , the spark . of eager hope is partially enkindled , and the expectation is engendered that by e-and-bye they will discover and throw off the load that has been laid upoa them . Soon the distant rumbling breaks into a discordant concert , as the attention and the judgment of the
newly-awakened masses is directed towards the several points on , which the pressure is most severely felt . Then is the " spark" fanned into an ardent flame , and the delighted energies work freely and unremittingly at the task of guiding the half-formed judgment of the sufferers from the symptoms to the diseasefrom the effects , the operation of which is now felt , to the . great cause whence they all proceed : that so each mighty limb of the giant public may direct its energy , hot so much to the destruction of the twigs , by which , the present smart-is inflicted , as to the
uprooting of the corrupt tree on which they grow . And whenever the numerous sections , into which , the people are sure to be divided on their first awaking to a ' sense of wrong , come to be United into one compact body—whenever their attention comes , to be concentrated from the several points towards which it has been directed to one grand point at which all aim , there remains then bo barrier which can effectually oppose the attainment of their object . The great point then is , that this concentrated energy shall not be misdirected ; for it is . an allpowerful
engine , either for good or evil . Hence we have viewed with feelings of unmingled satisfaction and delight , the agitation of the public mind on a variety of different subjects during past years . The attention of the labouring classes—the real " people , " —has been successively ( and yet , to a certain degree , simultaneously , ) aroused by the injuries ihey have sustained by the operation of a corrupt system of patronage hanging round their necks a host of locust ? , in the shape of idle and useless pensioners ' ,
and a swarm of hornets , in the form of mischievous placemen and Commissioners , to support whom they are weighed to the earth . by the pressure of taxation ; by the operation of the Corn Laws , which made rents high , and bread dear ; by the iniquitous protection of the fundholders . which made money dear and labour cheap ; by the horrors of the Factory System , which immolates their progeny , and coins the blood of their children into gpldj for " merciless griping ruffians ; " and , -fc y the abominations of the Poor Law Act , which virtually and
practically denies them the right to live . AH these , and a hundred minor grievances , subservier-t to the same grand end , ( of making the working classes beasts of burden—hewers of wood , and drawers -o . water—to the Aristocracy , Je \ rocracy , Miilocracy , Shopocracy , anct every other Ocracy * that feeds on human vitals ^ , ) ' have roused the feelings of the people and prompted the respective parties to seek a remedy for the smarting of their wounds . While they were thus occupied with the consideration of local and partial grievances , it was our tast—the task
of all true patriots—to point the general mind to one conclusive fact—that all these horrible effect * sprung from one fearful : cause . The laws , beingmade / or and not by . the people , took . no cognizance of their interests , but considered only l ow- they might be made promotive of the interests of the law makers , —and hence , as now ,, our unce * sing watchword has heeh Universal Suffrag e—Universal Suffrage— Universal Suffrage ! Let ^ e peop le , only exercise- their due power in the ma king of the laws , arid their wisdom and discretion will soon remedy wuUi ¦ ¦
wki \ sAi nivuviu ouii' uiovi vbiv - , _» all these .
