' Captain Albatross , though only an officer of disbanded militia , had the sternness of a ^ Frederick ; hence , lowering lusbnAy black eyebrows , and advancing one « tep towards the maid , who received the fiery ; looks of the inquisitor with admirable coolness , ne ' . cried , in sounds of thunder , ' Young woman , *•»• " yon look in jay fece ?

J& ~ Z £ f { f' fPt ar * por * 1809 ; -Thi « city was attack ea by the British forces under Lord Lake , and taken possession of j but tiie Rajah removed his effects to the forts , ^ where the garrison made a formidable defence . ^ The walls of these forts were Vuilt with mud , 60 feet thick , and very lofty . The besieged hrew over the parapets , upon the English , heavy logs of wood—pots filled with combustibles--and burning cottonTiales steeped iu oil . In phort the Bntmh army wererepnhwd in four assaults ; sufferine a loss of 3 ^ 3 , in kilfed and wounded ! The Rajah , nowever , offered terms of peace , ; with the" payment ot twenty lacks of rnpeea ( £ 200 . 000 . ) which was accepted , and the English army retired . ^ T Segevf Hamburgh , 1813 . —Marshal Davoust occupied Hamburgh with a garrison of 30 , 000 J ' rench , Itahnns , and Butch . The commander was
f ? " * ° nlnal ™ ga terrible defence , and he employed 15 , 000 men m forming the fortifications , whereby vastnmnbers of houses were wantonly demolished , lie mezed from the wood-yards timber for a bridge iive ^ thousand yards ^ ^ lon ^ extending to Haarburgh ; The garnnon took possession of the atores , although provisions were very dear in the town , so that all the horees were seized for the artillery , and many were slaughtered and distributed to the soldiers . The inhabitant * , pressed by famine , bought the hides at a dear rate . In levelling for the fortifications , ' the very tombs were thrown down , and the soldiers might be seen wrenching from the coffins , the silver plates , and stripping- the very shrouds from the bodies of the dead . The putrid air from these disinterments , no doubt , contributed to the pestilence which soon after broke out
- The scenes , in Hamburgh were now frightfulthousands of the garrison , besides the famishing inhabitants , had already fallen by sickness and hunger . And in December , the French ordered all useless mouths to quit Hamburgh on forty-eight hi . urs' notice , and under paias of military law . Many aged persons were torn from their beds , and drmn out ol the city , wherei they soon perished . The evils of the siege were now incredibly increased by the avarice of Davoust ' s agent * , and he himself at length gave orders to seize the remains of the bank amonnting to abpiit £ 600 , 000 . This robbery completed the ruin pf the city . The canals and the lake of Asterwai were poisoned with every uncleanness , and from sixty to eighty daily in the hospitals , of which no care was taken . ----- - r - - - - ¦
The dead -were thrown into the trenches or lay strewed on the highways and ramparts ; rather than bury them : so that the living could not make a step without treading on the remains of their relations or friends . When the French surrendered , May , 1814 , the garrison were reduced by their sufferings to 15 , 000 men ! ° ' 3 o . —SiegeofSarugossa , 1808 . —This city was besieged by the French forces , in Spain , who commenced a terrible bombardment , which ,-with the explosion of their mines , made a breach in the wall , and the French entered the principal street , called the Coza . The inhabitants , howeverstill
, resisted , and nghting was continued in the streets and houses . Great numbers of the slain were thrown out of the windows , and lay in heaps in the Coza , which is about the width of Pall-mall . The Spanish Commander being apprehensive of contagion , pushed the French prisoners forward with a rope attached to them , amid the dead and dying , to remove the bodies , and drag them to burial . These frightful scenes together with famine , sick ness , and slaughter , compelled the besiegers to retire . 'But a few months after , the French forces returned and retook the city , so that all the previous misery endured by the inhabitants appears to have been in vain .
36 . —Siege qf Falenciennes , 1793 . —This commercial town in French Flanders , is situate on the Scheldt ; and was one of the first objects of attack by the English under the : Duke of York , during which it suffered a terrible bombardment , and the greater part of the houses were laid in ashes . After an awful destruction among the helpless inhabitants —the garrison—and the besiegers , the town capitulated . No redress appears to have been made to the suffering inhabitants for the rain of their propertv , and in the following year , Valenciennes was r etaken by the French , so that in a mUitary point of view all the previons waste of blood and treasure was totally useless .
On the breaking out of the war in February , 1793 , tens of thousands of indnsttiousnien in the North of England , who , but a few weeks before had been earning a ; comfortable h ' ving , were thrown oat of employment—the demand for their labour having ceased . In this emergency Government sent down exchequer bills for millowners and others , and recruiting parties for the operatives ; and it is stated , that in the first year of war , nearly twenty thousand Lancashire men entered the army ; mostly through necessity , many of whom were speedily embarked for Flanders , where , they fell martyrs to a war of ambition , leaning their families , in anguish and indigence .
"The king whom they had never seen , They said , had got a foe , And thousands to the war were sent , And thousands more must go . "

ADDRESS OF THE WESTBURY WORKINGMAN'S ASSOCIATION , TO THE WORKING . MEN OF THE UNITED KINGt ) 0 M . FjELi ^ w-MEN ^ 'The poverty , wretchedness , and misery , that exist anjong the workihg » clas 8 e 8 of this countrv ^ one would imagine sufficient to ; awaken the / most sluggish nature to a consideration of the causes that have brought ns to this degrading state , and to try by all the means in their power to pull down the tyranny and oppression that so heavily bears down upon . us at this time . But when we behold-the working classes by their own exertions trying to emancipate themselves from a ¦ sfcte of ignorance , poverty and degradation , and seeing how cruel and unjust have been the sway of our oppressors , and seeing how they unite themselves together against ns , we cannot : but look with shame anal
indignation on the ignorance of those who riot on the spoils of our industry , and trample-on oiiir most sacred rights . And be it remembered ye tyrants , aind you that oppress ias , that the voice of a mighty people must be : heard , for the burden > which we now labour under must cease to exist ; and woe be to those rulers who will not listen to the jnst demands of an enraged and nughty peopie , : We have these tyrants here—they have tried to stop us from associating together in Westbtiry ; but not all the powers of ( earth combined will be able to beat 4 own the upraised arm of a determined people when raised for justice and liberty . Let us thenj brethren , tally round the Charter , and never lose sight of its privileges , which we ought and must enjoy . Let tis tell th have been for

v HoB-RIBtE . AND PEI 4 BBRA * B ' . 'MURDER ^ T M 0 BNTME 8 SIN 0 . —About four Vclockori Wedriesday afternoon the village' of Mbratnessing was thrown into the greatest state of exciterhent and ^™ i on e *? the most deliberate and cold-blooded rturders being ^ at that ^^ lionr coniinittied on the body of MrsvSusanriah JPlayle , a widov ^ and tlje keeper of the Plough beer-shop oiiTthejBputh side ^ of the Loni don-rojid - near the 8 th-n ^ ertdne . TJi e perpetrator of ., the , deed was Abraham Hilliard , a labourer between forty and Jfiftv veare of a&e ; and « f iftno «
habita , who has professed attachment to the deceased ever since her husband ' s death ; which took place thirteen vdr- fourteen months Bince , and was , it is ^ nerall y ^ elieved , improperly acquainted with her whilst the husband was alive . She has , howevery of late rejected : his attentions , and he has threatened , at vajriouB times , to destroy her . On Wednesday morning he left Jaa ^ house at" Mounts je ssing , and went to Ingatesbh wiUi his gun , where he had it cleaned ; v on his way home he called -at the Crown public-house , Ingatestone , and there left ms watch and money with Mrs . Dean , the
landladyj till he called for them ; He , it is supposed , loaded the gun at Ingatestone , and was heard to fire it off when he reached hpmew He then loaded it and repaired to the cottage of widow Playie . He first went up the yard and turned to the biack ' smith ' s shop , where Charles Miller was sawing . After a short conversationrjvith Miller , as to the father , he went intoi-tlto ^ ^ passage of the deceased ' s house Jroffiwhicii he looked into tiie bakehouse and saw the deceased and her son | the ) latter about Ihirty yeajB of age . iHe ^ then went to the door of the bakehouse , where the : deceased was kneading her breadj and took a deadly aim at the poor woman , Who received the contente of the gun ia her left side andfelK Hilliard immediately ran ^ t the « pn > and attempted to strike Jrim with : the sun . The son
new at HiHiard , calling out * Murder , you ' ve shot my motherland bothfell , when a struggle ensued , in ; the course of which John , the son , obtained ^ possession of the ^ gun , struck Hilliard a violent Wow on the head , yehich felled him to the ground . Hilli ard rose again and attempted ; " to get away , but by this time Miller had come up and collared him . Mr . Spaekman immediately after arrived and took the murderer into custody , who was smothered with blood , and lodged him in th « cage . On being asked how be caine to murder the poor womanj he said , cooll y , fit was an accident—accidents will happen —itdone and
' s ^ now , can't- be helped / ' Messrs . Sutler and Lewisj snrgeong , of Ingatestone , arrived soon after , and on examining the body , found that the vital spark was quitewextinpt / deceased , it is 8 uppbsed , not having survived the wound five minutes . The : left arm was shattered , and thei contents of the gun passing throuerbV it entered the left side , just bfclow the breast , theliver ^ Ssc ; , protruding through her stays and other apparel . The medical gentlemen then went to the cage , where they found the prisoner in the act of strangling himself with his neckcloth , which was drawn so tightlv " round his ne ( jk that it was with diflWfy loosed . * Deceased was berween 40 and 50 years of aW . and has left
six children . An inquest was held before C . C . Lewjs , Esq ; , coroner , at the George Inn , last evening , bnt the result had not reached us when we went to press . Hilliard , it is said , has repeatedlv declared that he would dpstrpy the deceased , because she would not marry him j and that the very morningpf her death , she sat up in her bed ( we are informed , ) crying , and expressing her fears that he would " make a hand of her . " The murderer has pbserved a sullen state , and declares that he will not be hanged . : The greatest precautions are therefore tekento prevent his putting an end to his existence . Mr . Disney , yesterday aftercoon , viewed the body of the deceased , and-njade inquiries as to the lamentable e \ ent . —Chelmsford Chronicle .

SMITHFIELD CATTLE WTARKETj NOV . 2 tfl ^ Whenever the word stone occursin these prices throughout this paper , it is to be considered as the imperial itone of 141 bs audBuch onl y , no otherbeisg lawful . ] Notwithstanaing that the suppl y of Beasts in our market of to-day was quite adequate to inept the necessitous yranta of tue butchers , it was by no means so large > 8 we have been accustomed to i / nto ^ ss at the correspondug market day of some years past , though it exceeded that shown this time twelvemonth by 15 . Withrespect to the quality of the Beasts we have to intimate , that it was not of a very superior ordeT , but there were some very useful ahort-horos , Devona , and Scots , chiefly from Lincolnshire , Norfolk , and Pembrokeshire , offering . From the Northern parts of Scotland we have receiypd a fair dumber of ScoU viz ., 72 . The primest Beasts were ; taken off by the dealers freely at fully last week ' s prices ; but , with the inferior kinds was heavy at barely late rates ,
, mere waa a rair average number of Sheep , the sales for _ which warsteaayj but '" notto say brisk , at no quotable variation in their currencies . Calves were in limited supply , and heavy sale at drooping . currencies . Prime small Porkers were m brisk inquiry ; : but other kmaa ; of Pigs met a heavy 8 i » ie . A few : : _ Pigs have arrived by steamers from Dublin , the : quality of which was inferior . It is generally understood that the great Chriatmas market will not be held until Monday the 17 th inst ., feeing seren days later than the usual period ; This alteration in the time ef holding this important market appears to have arisen from the conviction that less loss will acciue to the butchers than formerly , it being welt known that the change of dietWhich thebeasts Undergo on changinj ? hands from the breeders to the dealers frequentl y causes them to lose a large portion of their internal fat , congequently they weigh much lighter than if slaughtered soonafter being sold .: - ¦ ¦ '¦ ¦ .. . .

Sometimes whole companies entered the mines at the moment Ihey were ready to explode , and were snffocated -with : smoke , inundatecf with water or buried alive j and on some occasions -whole battalions were blown into the . air and their limbs scattered . One night 300 men were posted in a mine , and 800 in the town-ditch were ordered to support them , but in the middle of night the French engineer sprang a counter mine , by which the 300 men were stifled , xnd 100 of the forces in the ditch were buried .
