But all "Aese spring from Labour . Without the journeyman •—41 * " * labourer , none of them could east;—withont "Aeaaratance of their hands , the country would be ~^» wildernes s , hardly worth the notice of an invader .

But suppress your indignation , and let u * «« eBj , if possible , examine the cause of the present ^ stsSe of things , and the best means to be adopted to wfiece our country from the Tn »«« of eril which so keacQy and so cruelly oppresses her . Tbe times in which we lwe are full of periL The -axfioo , as" described by"Sre very creatures of the -Gosenunent , is fast advanditjjfcrthat period when ¦ am . important change must take place . It is the lot « f mankind that some shall labour ^ iih their limbs , a » d-others with their minds ; and , ob ^ . occasions , aore especi ally on an occasion like the present , it is siie doty of the laTfpr to coxne to the ^^^^ t ^ fTi ^ y of the Jtrao . We -are all equally interested in the peace
ad happiness of our common country . It is of the mtiacet importance that in seeking to obtain those ^ objects , our endeavours shonld be uniform , and tend -aSI to tie sane point- Such an uniformity cannot exist without an uniformity of sentiment as to public atttters , ; and to produce this latter uniformity -asuoagstyon is the object of this address , - - No man possessing an ordinaryimderstanding can otertain a doubt that the cause of our-present Buf--fering is the enormous amount of the taxes which lhe Government compels us to pay for the support ¦ af its army , its placemen , its pensioners , &c , and jartbe payment of the interest of its debt . That * 5 as is me Teal cause has been a thousand times jacwed : and , it is now so acknowledged by the
¦ cxextnres of the Government themselves . Tiro ioadred and Jive of the correspondents of the Board < £ Agriculture ascribe the ruin of the . country to iaxalion . Mr . Pkestok , a l awyer of great eminence , ¦ a ^ reac land owner , and a great praiser of Pitt , pdbQiy-hed a pamphlet in the year 1818 , in which i s this fleiaait : — "It shonld always be . remembered , tfateighteen pounds a year paid to any placeman or pensioner , withdraws from the public the means .-dF-gising active employment to one individual as AeheaA of a famDy ; thus depriving fioe personof 4 ie utettns of sustenance from the fruits of honest "aoiostry and active labour , and rendering them
futpen " ; Here we have this supporter of Pitt acknowledging the great truth , that the taxes are the < anse of the people ' s poverty , and misery , and de-^ nd&doa . Numerous writers , at first the friends of Sfce Pitt system , have since declared that taxation has been the cause of our distress . Indeed , when * we compare our present state to the " state of the > ooentry previous to the wars against France , we mast see that ourpresent misery is owing to no other -cause . The taxes-then annuall y raised amounted to aixwt fifteen TniTHons , they , now amount to fifty -aefflions : the nation was then ha ppy ; i t is now miserable . . -
Thus , then , it is clear , that the weight of the c&x ^ s , -under which you are sinking , which ha * already pressed so many of you down into the state « f paupers , and which now threatens to deprive many of von oi your existence . We next come to the ^ o estkm : —TFhat is the cause of this weight of taxes ? -xmA common sense answers , THE WANT OF PARLIAMENTARY REFORM . Is it necessary ¦ shea , brother Englishmen , that we should call on j < ru so join us in the struggle now commencing for a liadical Reform of the House of Commons f We $ *;! assured that you need no such call from us .

KEKT . - . _ - - We might conclude here , but we deem it our -derv , though we trust and believe an unnecessary < jnf , not to end this address without giving you a teaming of what we may have lo go through , of the -dingeis that m * y beset us on our way , and of the mannar in which we think those dangers may be ~ avtided . iz -k * proverb , that from the same causes the ¦ = sie » e . effects-will spring ; and-the proverb will always be found true , where the circumstances of aie case are the same . Of nations in situations similar to our own , history affords us many " ^ camples- and of these -we shall mention two ; but * il nations , similarly situated , and -where the
cir-¦ sajisuutces of the case were the same , we have not sot an instance before us , on this fact , and on * iii-: oalv , do we ground our hope of peace . Tue first instance to which we call your attention ia that of Rome . And here we cannot help . priming . out how exactly , how awfully parallel is tiur present state to that of Rome , at the time -saladed to by this historian . Mr . Gibbon , in his History : f the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire , has the following passage : — " The horrid aracrice of murdering their new born infants was hec « ine every day more frequent in the provinces : u w&s the effect of distress , and the distress was principally occasioned by the intolerable burden of 4 s ^ f . » , and by the vexatious , as well as cruel persccu iiaas of tf officers of the
^ e revenue , against therr iasolveut debtors . The less opulent or less indusirJoBs part of mankind , instead of rejoicing at an Increase of family , deemed it an act of paternal tenderness , to release the children from the unpendiug ini * eriea of a life which they themselves were nimble to support . " Fellow-countrymen , think well , tm this , and then , if the humanity of your nature wriil let you turn your eyes to the prison-house of CLejter , there behold , in their sontary cells , Dinah : Jcxes , and Sarah Byron , the victims of corrupt ^ uivrnment . These two unfortunate" young women , up to the day of their trial , bore < hs most excellent characters ; on that day iiiey were both convicted , on the mo . « t unimpt-Acliable evidence , of the monstrous and unnatural - - rime of murdering their own children ; the senifiice ef dt-ath prononnced upon them has been , u < r iiie time , withdrawn , upon the petitions of their
aeigiibours , those petitions alleging that to the accused New Poor Law were their crimes to be attributed . And forget not that that law was passed la « rve the rate * paid to the poor , in order thai ratep * ger * augH he able lo pay more taxes ! Thi « is a subject that it were dangerous to dwell upon .

England , would be to insult your understandingn : the similitude is self-avident . We come theni now , to bur only hope , throusli the peculiar circumstances by which , at a moment Uke the present , England is favoured beyond all other countries in Europe , and , with the exception of America , beyond all other countries in the worid . We have now shewn you that the state of Rome , before the fall of the Roman empire , and that the state of France before the bloody revolution in that country , were precisely similar to the present state of England ; it is our duty to put you on your guard , lest you allow these similar cause * to produce , in oar country ,- similar effects . We warn you against any ;
man who would , beforehand , take up your time with the detail ' of what a Reformed Parliament ought to do , or with any notions of change in the form ef Government . Such a man can have ( if he be a man of right understandingj no other object than that of defeating the cause of reform ; and , indeed , the very act must shew that to raise obstacles i » his wish . To all such persons your answer should be , " wewill not discuss that now ; leave it to be settled by a Parliament chosen by Univbbrai . Sdff « uqe . " Such mes . now that ther find you justly irritated , mar try
to persuade you that , because things have been perverted from their true ends , there xa nothing good in our Constitution and laws . For what , then , did Hampden die in the field , and Sydney on the scaffold ? And has it been discovered , atlast , that England has always been an enslaved country ? The . Americans , who are a wise people , and who love liberty in their hearts , took special " care not to part with any of the great principles and laws which they derived from their forefathers . Indeed , it is the greatest glory of England , that she has thus * uppaed -with soand principles of freedom , those immense regisns , which wilibe peopled , perhaps , by hundreds of millions .
Be vigorous , then , but be steady ; be bold , but wise : fix your minds intently on the one object to be obtained ; do all that man can do to ebtain it , but stray not from the path to seek other objects . By neglecting to follow , this course the Roman people saw their Empire crumpled to dust By neglecting to follow this . couree , the French , after wading through . seas of blood , -have now returned nearly to the point whence they started . Thus we have pointed out the grievances under which you labour ' , the necessity of a change ; and the means of . making that change : and , relying on your valour and patriotism , we have not shrunk
from pointing out the dangers which may await you on your path . What a prospect ! What a glonous prospect for the -wise and truly brave ; what an awfnl prospect for the sham-patriot , the biUly , die coward % m the hour of trial ! u These abe the times that try men ' s souls . The summer-soldterraDd ~ "the sunshine-patriot , will in this crisis shrink from the service of their country , but he that stands it now , deserves the thanks of man and woman . Tyranny , like he ll , is not easily coriauered * but we have this consolation with us , that the harder the conflict , the more glorious the triumph . " : By order of ihe Union .

WOMEN'S POLITICAL UNION . On Wednesday evening , the weekly meeting of the Women ' s Union was held at the Public-office . Some preliminary business having been disposed ot , Miss Muter wm called to the chair . Mr . Colliss said , it would be recollected , that it was stated at the last meeting , that the committee were to meet to consider the propriety of giving £ 10 towards the National Contention . Some persons who were then present thought it was intended to make a separate collection . He wished to say , it was not intended to make a separate subscription . If any mosey was to be appropriated ^ it wa s to be taken out of the Union . Mr . Salt then addressed the meeting for the purpose of pointing out the cause of the difficulties and distress to which the working classes had been ,
and still were , subject . His observations were very loudly applauded , and produced a strong impression upon all present . He announced that he had received from Mr . Collins , on account of the Union , the sum of £ 12 . 11 s . 3 d ., which he had lodged in the-bank , of Messrs . Spoonerand Attwood , to the account of the Political Union of the Women of Birmingham . Mr . Edmonds then briefly addressed the meeting upon the advantages which he considered likely to accrue from the co-operation of the women in the forthcoming struggle for the restoration of the rights of the country . He said , owing to the lateness of the hour , he should not tien go through the account of the taxation which pressed upon the working classes . He was , however , pr epared with a variety of f&cbs which he should lay before them on their next night of meeting . .
Mr . Collins reported that he had issued two thousand four hundred union tickets , upwards of two thousand of which had been paid for . Mrs . Lapworth then mored , and Mrs . Bradshaw seconded the motion , " That ten pounds be g ' ven out of the funds of theUuion , towards deaying the expenses of the National Convention . " The resolution was put by the chairwoman and carried with applause , Mr . Collins observing , that tkatwas the first money which had been given towards the Convention . It was one of the rules of the Union , that none of the money of the Union could be applied to any object whatever , without the full and entire consent of the members of the Union . A considerable sum was handed in for tickets , and hand-bills were extensively circulated in the room , after which the meeting broke up . The room was crowded to excess in every part , and numbers were on the lobby and stairs unable to get in . —Bimiingham Journal .

WINSLEY , TURLEY , AND MURHILL ' WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATION .
A meeting of the above Association ( which has been but recently formed . ) was held at the Mason ' s Arms , Winsley , on Friday evening , August 31 st . It was attended by several members from tie Bath and from the Bradford Working Men ' s Associations . The proceedings commenced at half-past seven ; when Mr . J . Nell , from Bath , was called to the chair . He addressed the assembly very forcibly upon the necessity of the working classes uniting to obtain their just rights : pointing out the oppression they were at present labouring under . Mr . G . Wadman , from Bath , then addressed the meeting , calling upon the working men of Winsley and the neigaBouring villages , to reflect on . their
present degraded condition—to look around them and view on the one hand their own wretchedness and want , and , on the other , the luxury and ease of their aristocratic rulers . He then went on to show that their condition would never be improved until they obtained their equal rights , viz ., Universal Suffrage and the Vote by Ballot , then , and not till then , would they stand upon the earth as freemen , lie also made some observations on the New Poor Law , which were greatly cheered by the meeting ; and called upon every true , lover of liberty to come forward and assist in bursting asunder the chains of slavery that were now so closely rivetted upon them .
Mr . C . Cottle , also from Bath , next addressed the meeting . He called upon the working classes of "Wilts to come boldly and determinedly forward to assert their country ' s wronga—to unite in the great and sacred cause of Democracy . They were arrived at a period when there must be a union among the working classes to shake off the fetters wtdch the monied and landed aristocracy had so unjustly imposed upon them . Let their war cry be , "The People ' s Charter , and the Birmingham Petition , " which were founded on the great principles of Universal Suffrage . Mr . C . concluded by r ecommending the working classes of Winsley and the neighbouring villages to attend the great Radical demonstration that was about to take place at Bath .
Several other working men addressed the assembly , and the following resolution was submitted and carried unanimously : —" That it is the opinion of this meeting , that man cannot obtain his political rights under the present state of things , and that they therefore pledge themselves to use every means in their power to obtain the five principles Bet forth in the People ' s Charter . " The greatest order was observed throHghout the whole of theproceedine ; and the company separated about ten o dock , highly gratified .

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE v- ^ ARHEAD . On Friday last , * Mr . Bruins , from Ihiblin , called a public meeting of the inhabitants of this place ,: and addressed them upon the wrongs of Ireland , and the necessity of this wnntry asswting them to obtain redress . Hiaspeech ^ consi sted of a glowing eulogv upon O ' Connell , ' and a vivid description of Ireland ' s sufferings , and concluded by moving a resolution , pledging the meeting to support the O'ConneH agitation . Peter Clarke and John Whiti , aw , of- the Working Men ' s Association , exposed the resolution , because , while they admitted in its fullest extent the wrongs suffered by their brethren in Ireland , the plan proposed would not bring relief , but an aggra-:
vation of the evil .

They concluded by moving the following amendment , which was earned by acclamation : — "That this meeting pledges itself to agjtate for Universal Suffrage , and that alone ; until it is establwhed throughout the khole empire .

HORRID MASSACRE . ( From the Charleston Patriot . ) y . By the United States steamer Poinsett , Captain Peck , arrived this afternoon from Black Creek , we Iwve received the Jacksonville Cmcrier of the 9 th instant , from , which we copy , the following : — Further Particulars of the late Indian Murders in Georgia . — -The following is an extract from a letter to the Editor , giving further particulars of the late Indian murders in Georgia , an account of which appeared in our paper of Thursday last : — " Fort GiUiland [ E . F . ] , July 31 , 1838 . Sir , —An express has just arrived from Little Creek , and it appears that the Indians are commencing their career in Georgia . I have received a letter from an officer of our regiment , who was an eye witness to this melancholy fact . "
( Extract . ) " Camp Wilds , Georgia , July 23 , 1838 . "Forty-five miles north-west ' " of Centrevine , on Sunday morning , a man came full speed into camp with the cry of Indians . I asked where ? He said about five miles off , that he had just removed a fansily who heard the report of gnns and the screams of people : We were in our saddles in afew moments , and under full speed to the spot where the alarm originated ] and 0 , God ! the most horrid of all the scenes I ever saw presented itself to view . On reaching the ground , a man , wife , and four of his own children , and two of his sister ? , had fallen by the Indians . Three children of the six were alive when
we reached the spot ; one about three years old had been shot through the abdomen , and lay asleep on the dead mother , another about ten rods from the mother . But , O , horrid to tell , I found a fine young lady , of eighteen , shot in two places , and dirked in another , with about twenty hogs around her , and she yet alive and had her senses perfectly . This was the most trying time I had ever neen . I gave her cold water , which she wished much , and remained with her as long as I could , till obliged to go in search of the Indians . We left a guard to protect , and to administer to them all that they could , but all expired ^ in less than twenty minntes after we left . The Indians scattered in all directions , and it was some time before we oould find the trail . We followed them about twenty-five miles , until fuither
pursuit could not be had , having then gone into the Okafanoka , as far as white naauconld well go . We left our horses and waded nearly to our hips in mud for two miles , which was as much as we could stand . We returned that night , found all buried , eight in number , in one grave . We returned to camp , then camp — , but now camp Wilds , that being the name of the murdered family ^ Two children escaped . One of them says that a white man was with the Indians , and caught him—asked him why he did not run ; the boy told him he would , if he would let him go , which the man did , and said , ¦ * Now , damn you , run , ' and so he escaped . On our return , we found all the families had removed to our encampment . "We are making arrangements to scour the country about Fort Fanning and its vicinity . In haste , the express awaiting .
" With respect , your obedient servant , " N . DARLING , Lieut . 2 d Dragoons . " To the Editor of the Courier . " The following letter from our fellow-citizen Col . James Gadsden ( says the Tallahasse Floridin of the 4 th instant , ) gives an account of another horrid murder committed by the savages near Bailey ' s mills , a few miles from Colonel G . ' s , entirely within the frontier border . An express to the Governor , received on Thursday , states that two Indian arrows were found in the breast of a small girl , one of the victims . One of the arrows was brought up by the express , which we saw . It was about threei feet in length , the barb of iron about two aid a : half inches long and one inch in width , thin and sharp at the point " Wednesday Morning , Aug . 1 , 1838 .
" Sir , —The early part of last evening Mr . Singletary , his wife and two children , were shockingly murdered in this neighbourhood . But one of the family , a girl about five years of age , miraculously escaped , to tell themelanchol y tidings of her parents and sisters . She says the deed was perpetrated by Indians , accompanied b y one or two coloured pe i sons . - Major Dearborn , with volunteers from the neighbourhood , is in the search for the murderers : but as they had a whole night in advance to escape , it is not probable that their trail can be foUowed or the party overtaken . Comments are unnecessary * Ihe contest waginpin Florida with the Seminbles has assumed so erratic and guerilla a character as to require the activity and vigilance of every individual to bring it to a close . No one can anticipate whose house or whose family may be next victims . Yours , JAS . GADSDEN . " " To the Editor of the Floridian . "

" Hei preparedbis plans for entering the village where the Abb € Susini exercwed his pnestly functions , and an opportunity soon presented itself , which the bdldneaLof the bandit mjade him eagerly embrace . On the 25 th of August , at the time of the Angelus , he introduced himself into . the chnrcEof Moca , and hid himself behind a small brick wall , forming the ; enclosure : of : the baph 8 mal font , and there awaited the favourable moment
for leyelling his musket at him oh whose destruction ! ie had determined . ; The priest Susini approached the altar , where three of his colleagues had already said mass . He had scarcely finished reading the epistle when he fell pierced by three bullets ^ and hia blood covered the aliarj hewrilflied for a short . ' rime in convulaive agonies , and ere the worshi ppers who hastened to him ^ had raised him up , he had leased to live . The bandit leaped from the enclosure , and knocked down a woman who courageously uttempted to prevent his escape . He soon managed to hide himself amongst the rocks * and got out of reach of his pursuers .

Since thepublicationof our first edition , intelligence has reached us of the wreck ofthe Forfarshire ^ steamboat , llie rumours abroad on the subject are vanous and contradictory [ but the following narrative , which has been obligingly forwarded to us by express , may , we belieye , Vbe ^ oafidenUy relied on as substantial ^ true . , . The Forfyrshire steamer , from Hull to Dundee , John Humble , master ; ;( late master of the Neptune of the Tt / ne . ) vesterdav morriinflr stniht tinnn rtm
Long Stone or Outer Fern Island . She had proceeded as usual to Bamborough Head , when the punips ceased to be able to keep water in the boiler . This was on Thursday morning , at fotir o ' clock , the day after she left Hull . Both deck-pumps were set on , but the crew were forced to draw out two of the furnaces , lest they should injure ^ the boiler . Two hours afterwards , the furnaces were again lighted , and the vesael proceeded , deck and engine pumps going . At eight o ' clock of the same morning , the wind increased with great violence from N . N . E ., the vessel being nearly abreast oi Berwick . The leak in the boUer began to increase . The deck pumps were unable to clear the boiling water , and the
firemen unable to fire her . At 11 v . m ., she bore up nearly as far ; as St . Abb ' s Head . Atone o ' clock yesterday morning the engineer reported the engine would no longer workV The fore and aft sales were hen set to draw her off the land . The rain was heavy , and the wind tremfindous , blowing her leeward . ; i > nd from the fog they were unable to perceive the lights until they were down upon tt . em , An attempt was made to hear oh the- other tack , to try to puftb . her between the Fern Islands , to the westward , but ahe refused Ae guidance of her hehn , and at three yesterday morning fell broadside upon the Long Stone . A few minutes previous to herstriking ^ some of the crew came aft , and lowered the larboard
quarter boat down , and were pushing off , when the mate at the helm , believing ali chance gone of saving the vessel or their lives on board , swung himself into the same boat , They then drifted to the south , and were picked up last night , and brought into Shields by a Montrose sloop . They had scarcely any hope of the passengers and remainder of the crew ( to the number of forty-one ) being able to save their liyesi I t is , ; however , reported at Shields , this morning that the steamer was seen yesterday lying high and dry upon the rocks . If so , it is . to be hoped that many valuable lives have been saved from a watery grave . ¦ : ¦ ' •/ , ¦ ; ' .. ¦ . - ¦ . . - . "¦ . Since receiving the above , a correspondent has supplied us with the following gratifying
intelligence .- ^ - A gentleman , who has just returned from North Sunderland , states that the Forfarshire was seen yesterday on the rock called the Great Hawker , near the above place . A boat had gone to the relief of the passengers , but had hot returned when our informant left . About twelve or fourteen persons , however , were safely landed on the rdck ; and it was expected the whole of the passengers would be got on shore in safety ; The news of the wreck has created great excitement in this district , and much painful anxiety is felt for further intelligence , which , we hope , w ill confirm the expectation of the rescue of all the passengers . The Hull Observer gives the following
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS from the Tyne Mercury . The captain was unremitting in his endeavours to preserve the vessel and the lives of the passengers ; unfortunately the fog was sOvdense at the titne , that they were unable to perceive the lights until they were very near them . About a quarter of an hour before she struck , the crew , whose conduct was unlike that which is a characteristic of British neameh—^ lowered the larboard-quarter-boat down , and left the ship , themate accompanying them ( one passenger only succeeding in leaping into the boat ) , leaving the captain—^ bravely determined to manage his ship the best way he could . Meanwhile the vessel was drifting to
leeward , and an attempt was madft to push her between the Fern Islands ; but she refused to answer her helm , and at three a . m . she struck upon what is called thfi " Long Stone , " or " Outer Fern Island , " and little chance of escape was left for the unfortunate individuals , forty in number , -who were on board . The very second sea that struck the vessel after she went pn . the rock swept all away abaft the foremost , hurrying into another world the captain and nearly all his ill-fated , companions . Perhaps the most heart-reriding circumstance connected with the subject is , that after " the fatul occurrence which we have just described , a female was observed clinging with two children to the fore part of the vessel
until stern necessity compelled her to let go the children in order to save her own life . This is the only female saved who was on board after the vessel was abandoned by her crew , and it was with great difficulty that she was got on shore alive ; she was in a very weak state . The crew after leaving the ship drifted to the south , and were picked up by a Mbntrose sloop and brought into Shields . From another account we learn that three bodies of the unfortunate sufferers have been brought ashore by a boat , those of a man and two children ; from thirty-five to forty have perished , nine are alive on the outer island , and escaped in the boat . After the vessel struck , the second sea broke her in two
parts ; the fore part remains on the rock , but the other was carried away and all who were on it were instantly launched into eternity . The mother of the two children , whose bodies have been brought ashore , i s the only female saTed ; she held her childrenin her arms as long as she could , but was ailast reluctantly compelled to let them go . We have seen the driver of the Royal William coach , who is acquainted with some particulars , acquired principa ll y from passengers who have travelled b y the coach . He says the vessel has since gone to pieces , and part of it has been driven on shore at Beadnell Quay . On Saturday , a young man , the person who was saved from the wreck and brought to Newcastle by the sloop who picked up ihe boat ' s
crew at sea , w . ent by the Royal William , on his road to his native place , pundee . He said that he was in bed , with merely his trousers on * in which was his money , when the alarm was given , and on rushing on the deck he saw the crew , eight in . number , in the boat , four or fivejriirda off , leaving the vessel . With _ a desperate effort , which onl y the peculiar situation in which he was placed could have made effective , he made a bound which placed him in the middle of the crew . One instant to awaken an uncle who lav asleep could hot be spared , or his own dooin would have been sealed ; The 6 oachman said it was reported a woman had been saved from the wreck , but it was estimated that thirty-five or thirty-six had perished . A person came by the Royal William , this day , for the coroner , S . Reid , Esq . . ¦ ¦ ¦ . -. ¦ ¦ . ¦ ' .- ¦¦ ¦ . ¦ - '¦ ' " . ;¦ " .

Murder and Robbery . —About one o ' clock on Tuesday afternoon the village of Branston was thrown into great consterdation in cousequencs of the discovery of a most murderous and fatal attack upon an Irish reaper . From the reports we have been able to collect , we uuderstand that , between 9 and 10 o ' clock in the morning of Tuesday , about half-a-dozen Irishmen went into the Plough public house amongst whom was the author o f the bloody deed ; this party had not been in the house , a long time , before they were joined by four others , with whom was the unfortunate man , ; whose life has heen sacrificed . It appears , from the report \ in the Lincoln Gazette that the deceased was inveigled
into a dilapidated building , and there robbed , ' and in order to prevent detection , the assailant took a garden hoe , which lay in the corner of the place , and commenced Ms deadly attack ; in which act he was observed by a female named Harrison , who had been attracted to the spot from hearing a noise . With such force did he strike his victim with this instrument that the shaft broke , and being determined to finish his work , threw ; down the broken hoe , and resumed his horrid attack with a large hedge-stake By this time the woman heard groans , she screamed out , and the murderer walked
deliberately away . The man was found to be not quite dead , bat inseusible ; his head cut in all directions , and the brain protruding in several places ; his inner waistcoat pocket turned quite out . He languished until the next ni g ht , when death put an end to his suffering 8 . From the prisoner , who in the morning had no money , was taken a half-soYereJgn , three half-crowns ; and a penny . All the money found upon the deceased was 6 d . in silver and 7 id . in copper : ; this , with what was spent , would nearly make up the sovereign changed . On Thursday afternoon a verdict of wilful murder was returned /

Pedestrunisji . —A walking-match has iuwt heen undertaken and entered upon here which has excited some attention in the sporting world . A young gentleman , an officer , for a wager , it is said , of 1 , 000 guineas , has engaged to walk 1 , 000 miles in 1 , 000 snecesgive hours . He started on Monday evening at five o ' clock from hw lodgings in Domingo-place , behind the poor-house , and goes every hour , half a mile out and back , through ihe turnpike on the new Antrim road . This , we believe , ia the same match that rendered Captain Barclay so famous . The match must occupy nearly six week * , day and night . The difficulty arises chie'fly from the want of sleep , which , in the course of the undertaking , must be peculiarly exhausting . Hitherto the thai seems no trouble to him . . He is an exceed *
ioj ( ly active , well-made young man , and seems admirably calculated for the work .
