TO THB ED ^ OKS OF THE ^ ORTSERN STAE . MjESTLEiees , ~ I have this moment retained from beholding one > oC-. those awfol scenes—bogrand , » d temno—wiich . force . man to acknowledge the existence and the power of tliat Being whose is / the sea , ? bepaose * Hemade it ^ " f sceneTrhichfeette man can never contemplate without reverence and swe . , 1 haveJbeen standing on the beach , when a mighty storm was . iagin ^ , and the sea . was trembled ; Tearing as the -waves , in majestic-grandeur , Tolled npon me agitated surface , and beat upon the dry lan ^ , " -vrMeh the same God had " prepared" as a boundary for lie safe residence of man . His voice , louder than the ocean ' s thunder , proclaimed—** hitherto shalt thou come , bnt no forther—here shalt thy proud wares be stayea . " ;
The tempest cracked and-howled aronnd me . The -waves , in monn tains of -watery rolled in terrific masses , and , endingibemsehes together as they Mproached thftsnore , as if , in xuritedibree , to vent tint rage at the interroption offered to their eonqnering conrse , 1 hey dashed themselves in fury npon fiiebeacn ; thus , spending themselves in volumes of inm , coining lie strand { -which seemed to laugh at their menaces ) with broad layers of quivering both . The sight -was truly magnificent . Thank God ! no ships were nigh ; No lives , as fer as our eyes ceuld reach , were endangered .
As I stood listening to the howKng of the wind , the roaring of the waves , and -watching the raging of theocean , I thought—jost so furicusly is man now raging against Ms fellow-man—just so i 3 Infidelity 3 hjw vainly daring to vent its rage and mance against Qmstaanity—just now , embodied in the accursed New Poor Law , is _ falsehood thus warring against irnih—tyranny against justice—Satan against God ! But . as surely as these waves are stayed by this -wawybeach , so sorely shall it . soon be said to that power infernal , which now seems to hold our destiny jn his hands , "Thus far shalt thou come , but no fenher . " Yes , Gentlemen , although our oppressors are very powerful , and very ingry and mil of rage , troth and justice shall yet prevail against Ialsj > hood and tyranny ; and God himself will , in a . little while , hurl confusjon and dismay on the ranks of Satan's host . "
I thought the while'bf Huddersfield : to that spot any tSoushts are always taming . I remembered , as I ¦ withstood the boisterous blasts on the margin of the enraged water * , the furious ragings of a vain and Infidel Government , vented in dragoons , hussars , riflemen , " and the accursed London police , against ihe inhabitants of that town and district ; and when I saw the thick layers of quivering foam disfiguring lie teach , I remembered that there also , in Hndoerefield , the Devils' rage was vented in dirty froth - ^ a 8 kffly . "hatch of Magistrates , a frothy Poor Law Commissioner , a few quivering trembling Pro-Poor-Xaw Guardians , and lastly , in apiece of dirty parchment , called " a true bill—for assault , " against the ¦ worthy men who resisted the robbery and plunder of those base wretches how turned informers . The foam on the beach will be evaporated by the rays of the morning's sun—the froth , now left in Huddersfield , will soon be dispelled by the sun of truth and justice .
Am . 1 sorry that the enemies of God and of man hare at last resorted to perjury , in order to enforcfhelaw of devils in the Hndder ? field Union ? 1 do grieve for fixe perjured , but I exult with their intended victims . It is well known that those gentlemen , now charged with " riot and assault , " did only rescne their own property from the hands of thieves—did only prevent the "jrioters" from trampling on the law and on their rights . We all know that their only crime was a determination not to allow their books to be stolen and mutilated—not to permit a contemptible minority to defy a majority , to resist the law , and to trample even on the vefv orders of the Commissioners , whose tools the base minority intended to be . The rioters—the thieves have now turned informers . ! Well , well , we shall soon see what we shall see : I trow , in a very little while , these tools jof the Devil will rue the day that they were perjured ! . . <
But , Gentlemen , what is now doing in Huddersfield ? . Are the rate-payers stirrina ; in this business ? I had hoped to have heard of meetings in every township , and of an universal subscription . Law ptoceetnngs are expensive and harassing : money is required forthe former—comfort and encouragement for the latter . The , people of Huddersfield must excuse me—I have somewhat against them . I fear , ( would that my fears ms ; be groundless , ) I fear that thev are not sufficiently alive to iheir present position . " Shall these men be trampled on . with impunity ? Shall Hielsew Poor Law beat length forced upon yon by perjury ? Have you forgotten all thetows yon haw made to your wivesto your childrenand to ¥
, , your God , -that this law of separation—of death and of derils . shall never triumph over you f" WEI you , who have hitherto fearlessly and effectually defied the crafVamL power of all those enemies which have hitherto vainly attempted to triumph over you , now yield to a band of perjured -villains r What , will tbe brave men of Huddersfield , who have overcome the army by kindness and brotherly luve , and the accursed and traitorona London Police by force ; y » uv who have defeated Government spies by honesty—will you brave and honest men , who have so often stood undaunted before the threats and power of tyranny—you who never feared to tell the truth to the spies of your enemies—will you now allow yourselves to he enslaved "by the
we&krst , the vainest , the most contemptible wretches that ever figured in the shape of man ? My Mends , forgive-me , the enemy has only changed his position , —he finds it is now of no use to take the field with drs goons and hussars and riflemen ; becsnse these men have human feehngE , and will not break their oaths , by enforcing slavary on their brethren ! Your enemies dare jio longer send their unconstitutional police from London , oecause they have found out , that you are prepared at once , by force to defeat those detestible cowards ! Spies are no longer employed , because they know that you are honest . They have now determined to select a fewv 3 fains , byperjnry , to convict your Mends and representatives , of the very crimes , which these perjured scoundrels did themselves commit ! Now . mv
mends' in Hnddersfield , after all , I ask , whatare you offlng ? shall these true patriots who have faithfully defended your rights in the board of Guardians , be Sow sacrificed by perjnry in a court of law ? forbid it common luraesiy—Sbrbid it justice—forbid it every * ow , now registered in heaven , which you have often Blade , " That , at all hazards , to the death , when ^ eedsbe , you will reast ^ ftie devil ' s law . Think not that my brain is neated—that my imapnation is vainly exited ; I am here at Rhyl , fer removed from all agitation , from all cause for excitelaent , calmly and coolly contemplating your present Jjosirion , there is , ( I am sore that I am correct , ) « ere is more danger to yonrselTes in this last attack loan there was in anr former .

ADDRESS OF THE MANCHESTER UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION , TO THEIR BROTHER RADICALS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED KINGDOM . Brethbek—We have now reached a most portentous crisis , and every man ought well to weigh the question , how he would like to become the inmate of a union bastUe : there to have his hair cut short , his manhood brutalized , his wretched body subject to a Tujnan ' s stripes , branded as a felon , tethernd like a beast , worked like a beast , and Jed worse than a beast ; no friendly eye to look upon him , no woman ' s tenderness to soothe his desolation , no little ones to gladden his dull sonl , the partner of his bosom pushed back by menial hands , the mother ' s breast with all its wholesome nourishment dried up through very erief , and when death ensues , you mav
be handed over to the surgeon for dissection . This brethren is out fate if we do not come forth in the majesty of our might , and tell our oppressors , that we wiu ap longer submit to be melted into money in their crucibles of gold , in order that they may have the power of makiugTis aliens in the land of our birth . Yes , and do let us tell them ( in terms not to be misunderstood ) we wBl no longer be satisfied with the puny morsels of food , their pride and pampered cunning have been wont to deal out to u *> , and let them see in reality that the schoolmaster is abroad , and that we now know what are our rights andhow to demand them , and by our good conduct and love to each other , prove to them that our union is intended as a tower of strength to guard the good
man , and a ^ scourge to the bad man . The unthinking and the wealthy ask , what is the meaning of our union ? -. let-otrr answer be , despotism and tyranny has aroused-ns from our recent lethargy , and we no longer look on one another as aliens having separate interests , but acknowledge and recognize each other'as brothers . But in endeavouring to tear from the hands of the tyrants the . rod they have ¦ wielded-with snch relentless fury , on the devoted energies of the producers of their wealth ; we do not wish -to-retaliate , we do not wish to crush the wretches , i » e know our strength , and in the name of that strength , we wish to fdnk the unchristian epithets of oppressors and oppressed in eternal oblivion , we-wHih ^ -to five and let live , we want not mansions
no eastern equipages , ' adorned with stars , garters , ribbons , and ceatsof arms ; neither do we want to enjoy rout ^ fetes , fashionable spas , balls , assemblies , operas , * c &c , no , all we want is an equal share in manngthe laws by-which w » are to be governed , so that we may have the power of preventing the hordes of idle drones from devouring up the fruits of our industry , and insulting us by telling us that it wasdetreed by the Almighty at the beginning of the world . that there should be rich and poor , and that the rich should always live on the industry of the poor , and the poor on thealms ef the rich , and thatto alter this state of things , would be "to rob Cod of tame of- hk attributes . " Fellow countrymen , turn with scorn from the selfish hypocrites , - who thus conurerthe same of God with the present cannibal system ^ w ith & view to reconcile you to its
abominations . If indeed- that system owes its existence to ibedecrees of providence , if He who created us had ordained that one part of the human race should grow rich and fat on the sd g ha and sufferings , the tears , the tofl and"tnVBIooa of 'fhe other , then should we . beri * the icaee to our fete , and despair of earthly happiness ;\ But " wedeny j utterly deny the "blaspheinous ^ doctrine j we deny it as inconsistent with the ^ haraicteroffHain ' wnoiasi made the earth so fertile , nlade ^ ifl nature" teem : with animal and vegetable liiei -mrnyh ^ d ? a table for every Ihing that lives ; made Sie ^ ipnng'ioolc cheerful , the groves resound wi&-soDgS 'o f ^ -napi 5 ne $ sf Ohe summer bloom with frnife « DKtfiow € is , and lie yellow harvest rejoice intfhe enfteSranee ^ of ripened plenty .

HOSPITAL SCENE IN PORTUGAL . "I wish to give yon , " said a British officer , in a letter to a friend during the Peninsular war , some idea of a scene I witnessed at Mirando do Corvo , on the 9 th day of our pursuit . Yet Ifear a sight so terrihle cannot he shadowed but except in the memory of him who heneld it . J entered the town about dusk . It had been a black , grim , and gloomy sort of a day—at one timefierce blasts of wind , and at another perfect stillness with far-off thunder . Altogether , there was a irild adaptation of the ¦ weather and ' the day to the retreat of a great army . Huge masses ef clouds lav motionless on thesky , and then they would break up suddenly as with a whirlwind , iand roll off in the ^ red and gloomy
distance . I feltmy ? elfin a state of strange excitement . My imagination got the better of my other faculties , and I was like amaniua grand hut terrific dream . " " Thus feeling , I passed the great cross in the nrincipal street , and suddenly fell in with an old aaggard-looking wretch—a woman , who seemed to have in her hollow eyes an unaccountable expression of cruelty—a glance Uke that of madness ; but her deportment was quiet and rational , and she was evidently of the middle rank of society , though her dress was fa Jed and squalid . She told me ( without my asking her ) , in broken English , that I should find comfortable accommodation in an old convent that stood at some distance among a grove of cork trees ; pointing to them at the same time with her long shrivelled hand and arm , and giving a sort of hystericallangb , ' yon willfind , ' said she , * nobody there to disturb you . '"
w _ followed her advice with a kind of superstitious : acquiescence . There was no reason to anticipate anv adventure or danger at the convent ; yet the wild eyes , and the wilder voice of the poor creature powerfully affected ine ; and I went on in a sort of reverie , till I had walked up a prettyjpng flight of steps , and was standing at the entrance of the cloisters of the convent . I then saw something that made me speedily forget the old woman , though what it was I did see , I could not , in thefirst moments of my amazement _ and horror , very distinctly comprehend . " Above a hundred dead bodies lay and sat before my eyes , all of them apparently in the very attitude or posture in which they had died . I looked at them for at least a minute before I knew that they were all corpses . Something in the mortal silence of the place told me that I alone was alive in this dreadful
company . ; ¦ U- A desperate courage enabled me to look stedfastly at the scene before me . The bodies ' were mostly clothed with stats and rags , and tattered , grp at coats ; some of them : merely wrapped about with girdlea of sfraw , and two or three perfectly naked . Every face had a different expression , but all painful , horrid , agonized , bloodless , —many glazed eyes were wide open , and , perhaps , this was the most ^ hock ing thing in the whole- spectacle , —so many eyes .
that saw not , all seemingly fixed upon different objects , some east np to Heaven ' , some looking straight forward , and . some with the white orbs turned round , and deep sunk in the sockets . tf It was a sort of hospital . These wretched beings were mostly ; all , -. - either desperately or mortally . wounded ; and after having been stripped by their comrades , they had been left there dead or todies Such were they , who , as the old woman said , would not'trouble ' me . ' ; ; . > ' I had begin to-view this ghastlysight with some composure , when I saw , at tile remotest part of the

CIVIL WAR IN HA 1 ATEA . ( From Witliams ' s Missionary Eiiierprizes in the South Seas . ) A war broke out in itaiatea , occasioned by some of the native Christians setting fire to a heathen temple . Great pains were taken by the Christians to avert hostihue . « , but the votaries of the Idol Oro replied , " There is no peace for the god-burners , uunl they have felt the etfect .-t of the fire with which they destroyed On- > . " The heathen were roused and excited by their priests , by feasting , rioting , and promises of victory . { The Christians spent the hours in prayer , and in raising an embankment of stones behind which to defend themselves . Early on the morning of attack the heathen party , with flying banners , the shouts of warriors , and the sound Of the
trumpet-shell , bore down on the affrighted Chrisuans ; while they or ; thei j bended kneet < , were supplicating Divine protectisn agaiiii-t the fury , of their enemies whose numbers and superstitious madness rendered them formidable . A ^ long shoal of saiid stretched from the shore of the Olinstian encampment ; inconsequenceof which the heathen party were compelled to land at a distance of a mile and a half from the spot . B-foretli . y arrived at the place ordisembarkation oue <» 1 the Christians , formerly a noted warrior , said to the chief , " Allow me to select all our effective men , and make an attack upon the heathens , while iu the confusion of lauding . A panic may seize them , and God may work a deliverance for us . "
The proposition was agreed to ; but the chief himseli said , ' Before you go , let us unite in prayprv " Men , women , and children then knelt down outside their stone embankment , and the King implored the God of Jacob to cover their head in the day of battle , and , on concluding , thus addressed his band of faithful followers—" Now go , and may the presence of Jesus go with you , " Taking a circuitous route behind the brushwood , until he arrived opposite to the place where the heathen were landing , the commander extended his little army as far as it - ^ ould reach , and gave strict orders that no noise should be made until they were merged from the bush . The arrangement proved most successful . The heathens were seized with consternsltion , and after a ¦ short resistance threw away their arms , and fled for their lives
; for they expected to have met with , barbarous treatment , similar to that which they would have inflicted had they been conquerors . But perceiving that noiniury was sustained by those of their brethren who fell into the hands of the Christians , they peeped from behind the bushes , or shouted from the Irees in which they had taken refuge , " Here am 1 j spare my ¦ life , by Jesus , your new God . " The remainder of the day' waa spent b y ' the Christians in conducting their prisoners into the presence ol the chief , who remained for several hours upon the very spot where , in the morning , he cpmrnended his littleband to the protection pt ' -God , A herald stood by his side , and shouted , as the fugitives approached , " Welcome , welcome ; you are saved by J ! esus , and the influence of the religion of mercy , which we have embraced !"
When the Chief of Tahaa , who led the heathen , was taken , and conducted , pale and trembling , into the presence of Tamatpa , he exclaimed , " Am I dead r' His fcars , however , were immediately dissipated by his brother chieftain , who replied , "No , brother , cease to tremble ; you are saved by Jesus . ' * A feas t was immediately prepared for the prisoners , when nearly a hundred large pigs were baked whole , with a proportionate quantity Of bread , fruit , and other vegetables . The he « vthen rat down to eat , but few could swallow their food , being overwhelmed by the astonishing events of the day . While they were thus seated , on « of the party arose and said , " This is my little speech ; Let every one be allowed to follow hi « own inclination j for my parti I will never again , to the day of my death , Worship the gods who could not protect us m the hour of danger ! We were four times the number of the praying people , yet they have conquered us with the
gieatest ease . Jehovah is the ^ true Qod .: Had we conquered them , they Would at this moment have been burning in th « house w _ e made strong for the purpose ; but instead of injuring us , or our wives , or our children , they haver prepared fdr us this sumptuous feast . Theirs is ^ religion of mercy . I will go and unite myself to this people . " This declaration was listeoed to with so much dehght , and similar , sentiments were sp universal , that every one of the heathen party bowed their knees that very night , for the first time , in prayer to Jehovah , and united with the Christians in returnibg thanks to Him for the victory he had on that anxious day so graciously afforded themV . ^ On the following morning , after prayer , both Christians and heathens issued forth tb demolish every temple in Tahaa and Raiatea ; so that , in three days after this memorable battle , not a vestige of idol worship remained in either of those islands ! ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ - ¦ ¦ ; ¦ : ¦ . ;
All this will acquire additional interest in the readers estimation ^ when he i 3 intortned that it took place solely under the superintendence of the natives therhselves , for at that ^^ tiriae ^ there was ho missibnarv at either of the islands ; ^ : - . . ¦ / , ¦; : ' ¦ ¦ : ¦ ¦ , / " Kindness is the key to the human Heart ; " whether it be that of stivage or civilized man j and when , instead-. <>? being barbarously murdered , they Were treated with kindness , the - multitude ^ ' imnsediately embraced the trath ^ attributing : this change In their formerly sanguinary chiefs j to the-benign influence of the Gospel on their mind . ^ Pages 166 and 190 *
