SONG . Air— " Scots tc&a hoe !* By oar brave O'Connor * seal , In » bo&daged people's weal , By the gratitude we feel , Waj&allallbefree . By oar injuries and iroes , By a murder ! d Clayton ' s throes , By the scorn we ben oar foes , We stall all be tree . Long we ' re worn the serrQe chain , Soon aoall it be bant in twain ; Soon shall we the Charter gain , Then we shall be frea .
Free from laws , ssjost , mixing , Form'd the workingdass to grind ; Wh ilst the great ones ever find Boom for tyranny . Long hare we been passiTe led , Bending " neata the yoke oar head , E'en whilst tyrants triumphed In our slavery . Igaotfuue had ektaely bound Her dark texxt oar eyes around . Telling u *> with words prof wind , We were amply free . Bat * t length a lucid light , From the Xorthent Star so bright , Dvr&ing on our mental sight , Show'd our slavery .
Then "we saw stern tyrants stand , Wringing from industry ' s band , Pot the wealthy ones and grand , The sore bard-earn'd fee . Days of darkness , now farewell ; Broken is the sombre spell , By the Chartist'a dasnUess TeU , Who w » uld hare us free . Though no freedom ' s banner wiTes , O ' er us toil-degraded Blares , Long the dnpes of titled knave * , Yet we shall be Free . For the Charter meets our Tiew , Sending energy anew , To each heart as we pursue The way from slavery .
Brother Chartists , onward press , For our -wrongs must hare redress ; Equal lairs , and nothing less—Chartists must be free

TO DEMOCRACY . God said let there be light , and there was light Gen . 1 . 0 ! who can stem thy giant tide ? Who beat back thy rimhing foam ? Where is the mortal , Canute-like , To bid . thee to thine home 5 Like the rush of armed men them eom ' st , Like the simoon gathering near , And the despot-heart , and the iron hand Ire palsied with sudden fear . Eme was , them wast a gentle stream , Meandering through the Tale ; With scarce a breath to stir thy come , With scarce a passing gale .
Bat the despots of earth would stop thy tide , They crimson'd thy placid brow ; The tears of the poor then swelled thy flood , And behold ! who will dare thee now ? Where are the mighty ones of earth , Who cursed thy cause of yore ; Who row * d thy hated name should be , A bye-word ever more ? Go ! seek in yon Tault of marble , and stone , Emblazoned with many a crest ; Where the storied urn , and the trophied scroll Betoken a place of rest .
They are there . ' they are there . ' the mighty , the proud ! With the worm for their banquet store , Rattling within the purple shrood , la the diamond wreaths they wore , But thou ! but thou ! art in spring-time yet , Pure and bright as the new-bom day ; Ji&tians mxr iaHl , » n < 3 proud empires tail , Bat them neTer wilt know decay > Like the rainbow thou beanVst on high , Bringing hope to the fettered slave j Thy mission from heaTen above Is raised tip to succour , to Bare .
Then joy ! then joy ! to the prostrate earth—But woe to the tyrant ' s power ; When thy gathering rage of a thousand years Kh * n bunt forth in as awful hour ! Bochdale . P

wfcASCr © w . —Theheart-rending : cries of misery , destitution , starvation , and despair ring through the streets , lanes , and suburbs of our city . Thousands of hungry , naked , shivering wretches meet ws at every tarn , and implore us with every look , asking us , in the silent and impressivelanguage of suffering rotor * , where n hBiMHHityr—wbere is justice T ana what is Christianity ! Why are we starving ia a land teeming with , every luxury and necessary of life ! How is it thai oar hearths are cold , oar beds in the pawn-shops , and our backs uncovered during this piercing weather , and that , too , while we toil from early morn to late at night f And bow is it that we Boffer oorselves thus tamely to be plundered of the honest fruits of oar virtuous industry by the
iron-hearted souls of our legalised oppressors t Ah ! the reason is too obvious to be misunderstood ! The laws made by oar combined tyrants have proclaimed us glares , outlaws , and aliens in the land of oar nativity ; we crouch , we toil ,. we starve , we tremble while we tread en the ashes and graves of our virtuous , brave , and patriotic progenitors . The insane and peevish , mutterings of imbecile hypo chondriacs and the envenomed slang of traitors full us to repose , and thus the enemies of liberty and man feed , fatten , and trfenaph amid the stately rain which their hellish machinations have created . Oar Lord Provost , and other municipal authorities , have just now squandered upwards of one thousand pounds in treating their friends of the law , the army ,
and the Church , on what they call the ^ glorious event" which has given them a Prince and an heir to the throne of these realms ; while these same sage and Christian authorities , during last summer , could not afford the tenth of the above sum to save from starvation hundreds of industrious families , thrown out of employment by the gambling , fluctuating syBtem prodnced and kept up by commercial pedlars , royal princes , hypocritical parsons , hired panderers , aristocratic pimps , legal plunderers , human tigers and reptiles of every form and description , whose various propensities are fostered by a system of laws the most incongruous and accursed The man of humanity shuddered when he heard the loud Bacchanalian yell—the loyal scream of exulta tion which issued from the City Hall , on last Monday night , while he knew that at the same moment thousands of inoffensive children in the immediate neighbourhood were shivering over the dying embers
of a miserable fire , and tearing with hungry avidity the scanty contents of a potato pot , the all which their class-ruined , heart-broken , and toil-worn parents could produce . When shall this infernal system cease to exist ! and when shall we hail that glorious sun wfeica shall riBe and shine on our newborn liberties , and oar chartered rights be proclaimed in city hall and village school , on mountain top and flowery vale ! Where is the man who breathes the heather-scented air of brave old Scotl » nd , that would join or mix with the miserable , crawling , trembling things , who , under the mask of thin-skinned morality , are aiding and abetting the cruel and relentless oppressors of the poor , and endeavouring ( though , thank God , without effect ) to paralyze the generons efforts of one of God ' s own nobles of nature , in his powerful and unbonght efforts to crash the tyrant , and rend asunder the shackles of the slave 1—Correspondent .
• VAXJB OF LEVEN . — Alexakdbu . —The state of trade in this place is really distressing . About three months sinoe Mr . William Thomason gave an address in Boshill , and urged the appointment of a committee to investigate into the state of the . unemployed , and laying it before the heritors and ministers and manufacturers of the parish . The committee was selected and the following facts will give the public some idea of the state of the Yale , including Alexandria and Bonhill ; Cawdross parish is being canvassed by another committee . This statement includes twelve hundred and eleven persons , their wages were as follows , averaging a period of twenty-eight weeks . There were persons Per day . d .

AJjEXAJfDBlA—A . notheb Victim to the Game Laws , —On Wednesday , the 17 th instant , the funeral of Mr . John M'Kiuky took place . The circumstances were as follows : —On the evening of the 2 nd of November , he and a companion were standing in the highway , holding a musket in his hand . Two gamekeepers , in the employ of Mr . Campbell , Tillichewen Castle , near Alexandria , came up to them , and , looking deceased closely in the face , some altercation arose between the parties . Deceased , being irritated at the gamekeepers' interference , struck one of them with his gun , and broke the stock of the fowlin ^ -pieee over the gamekeeper ' s » rm , and used the barrel in self-defence , which was loaded . While scuffling , the nipple of the barrel , on
whieh was » e » p , hit the stone wall : the musket went off , a&d the contents entered just above the left elium , passed immediately over the lower part of the back-bone , fracturing it , and came out on the opposite side , just over the right elium ; the distance between the entering in and coming out of the shot being about twelve inches . He lingered in great agony until Sunday last , when death put an end to his agonies . The day before interment the body was opened by two medical laen , who gave it as their opinion that death was caused by the contents of the guu passing through the body . A precognition had been taken by the Sheriff of Dumbarton and the fiscal the day following the accident . Being a member of the Rechabite order , a large procession of his
brethren attended his funeral . A little before two o ' clock they assembled at the Independent Chapel , about forty comiDg from Dumbarton and Renton , and about a hnndred members of the Order in Alexandria . Alter forming three deep , each wearing a white sa 3 h and black rosette upon it , they marched to the house of the deceased ; the streets of Alexandria were crowded with scores besides of the inhabitants and the acquaintances of the unfortunate youth . The funeral procession moved slowly to the New Church , Alexandria , attended by the abstainers in the above-mentioned Order . After arriving at the
grave , the coffin was placed upon the grave side , and the Rev . Mr . Swan delivered a very impressive prayer ; after which , the mangled corse was let down into the narrow house , to mix with its kindred dust amid the unbroken silence of the grave . Although not a year connected with the Keehabite Order , and not entitled , by the laws of the body , to the funeral gift , yet the Order had a meeting of its members , and , with a generosity which does honour to it , entered into a subscription , and handed over £ 8 towards the funeral expences . The event has made a deep impression , as the young man Beems to have been tjeneralJv and deservedly respected .
BIRMINGHAM . Maso . Vs 5 mike . [ Received too late for our last . ' ]—A public meeting , called by placard , was held at the Mechanics' Institute on Wednesday evening last . Mr . Peter Bishop was unanimously called to the chair . The Chairman opened the meeting in his usual clear and perspicnous style , and introduced Mr .

A similar ball was thrown into the barrack-yard at Charing Cross .
Dum- nr thb Flew Pmson . —On Thursday evening an inquest was held in the Heel prison , before Mr . Payne , concerning the death of Mr . E . Baker , aged seventy-eight , who died ia that prison on Tuesday evening last . Mr , T . Morton , assistant to Mr . Cooper , surgeon to the prison , stated that he had attended the deceased Bince May last . He was a very corpulent man , and had been bedridden for some weeks . He was afflicted with the usual symptoms attendant upon old age . Witness was not aware that he was in want of any thing . He had been attended gratuitously . There was no reason to suppose that death arose from any other than natural causes . Sarah Pearce , nurse to Mr . Baker , stated that she bad lived in the service of the
deceased for many years . Her master had been in prison about fourteen years altogether * He was liberated after six years ' confinement , and was again arrested in May , 1833 . He had contracted a disease during his first confinement , and had ever sinoe been attacked with dropsy and erysipelas . His only means of living lor two years past was 5 s . a week , which he received from a gentleman named Watson ; out of that he had Is . 3 d . to pay for his room , and witness herself had also to be kept out of it . She had received no salary for eight years , and had latterly waited on other prisoners for a trifle per week to assist in supporting her master and herself . He often complained that he could not get food enough . He had a fall a few weeks ago . and since that time
had been unable to get out of bed . He bad formerly lived upon bis property at 42 , Broad-Btreet , Goldensquare . Mr . G . P . Andrews stated that he was a prisoner at the time the deceased came in ( 1833 ) , and had been acquainted with him ever since . Deceased evidently had not sufficient nourishment to support him . The Coroner inquired of Mr . Oastler ( who had been sent for ) if he knew of any circumstances connected with the deceased 1 Mr . Oastler replied , that he was not at all acquainted with deceased , ana knew nothing of his circumstances further than having heard that he was dependant almost entirely upon charity for support . Mr . Oastler said he
would ask whether it was fair in a Christian country that persons should be incarcerated for debt at the will of others , and left to depend on charity for sapport . The Coroner said he agreed with Mr . Oastler that imprisonment for debt was an unchristian practice . Imprisonment was a punishment , and it was certainly to be lamented that a man who was Bnfornate should be punished for it . In the present ease it appeared that debt was not the only cause of deceased ' s imprisonment . He would leave it to the Jury to say whether they thought confinement had any thing to do with his death , and if so they would express it in their verdict . The Jury , after a short consultation , returned a verdict of " Died from natural causes . "
Mv&dkx and Suicide by a Deaf and Dumb Man . —A dreadful murder and suicide were committed at Wineolmlee , Hull , by a deaf and dumb man , named Robert Hickson . The wretched man had quarrelled with his wife , Sarah Hickson , about some domestic matter , upon which he seized a poker , and struck her a dreadful blow on the head , and afterwards destroyed himself , by cutting his throat with a razor . An inquest was held on the bodies on Friday night , and alter being sworn , the Jury proceeded to view them They were found lying side by side ona slight raised platform , in a small , neatly-furnished room , in Owen ' s Square , New George-street . The sight was a most appalling one , the throat of the man being cut from ear to ear , whilst the woman ' s skull was
literally smashed to p ieces . The floor was deluged with blood , bat partly covered with saw-dust . Immediately over the corpses was a portrait of Hickson , paisted in oil by himself . In another part of the room was a painting of Christ , in the same style as the portrait , and executed by the deceased . Selina Hickson , daughter of the deceased , deposed—I am going on for eight years old , and lived with my father and mother . They quarrelled yesterday about marrying . My father went out soon after breakfast this morning . He was deaf and dumb . He came back at twelve to-day , to his dinner . He came in dripping wet , and mother said she was so poorly she could scarcely wash for him . He was angry because there was not a dry waistcoat for him to put on . Mother
talked to him with her fingers . Father seemed in a passion when they were quarrelling , but I have seen him worse before . We Were getting our dinners , and so was mother , when he came in . He took up a poker from the fireside , and struck mother four or five times . She fell down on the hearth , and I never heard her speak again . Father took a razor from the cupboard top and cut his threat . Then I ran out . Hickson was in the employ of Mr . Binning , a coal merchant , as a coal porter . It appeared , from the evidence of Mr . Binning and other witnesses , that he had latterly become jealous of his wife , in consequence of a man named Charles Richardson having been seen walking with her . Mr . Binning had spoken to Richardson on the subject , when he said , " He had walked with Hicksou ' s wife , and
would do so again . " On being called before the jury , Richardson said that Hickson had once accused him of being connected with bis wife— but very little . " He had never repeated the accusation , and he ( Richardson ) nerer met her at Mr . Binaing ' s stables . Had spoken to her in the Street , but nothing more . Never met her by appointment , and had only walked the length of the street R ith her when they met accidentally . Several jurymen said this witness was morally guilty of the deaths of the deceased . The jury , in the case of the suicide , returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity , " caused in their opinion by the improper conduct of oae of his fellow-workmen with reference to deceased ' s wife . In the case of the murder , the jury returned the extraordinary verdict of " Excusable Homicide . "
Egregious Rejoicings . — "Richard has best deserved of all my sons / ' The authorities of Glasgow have " done the polite thing" to the new-born Prince after the most delicate fashion . As soon as the tidings of her Majesty ' s accouchement arrived , " Captain Millar conveyed the joyful news to the authorities , lu order to acquaint the Lord Provost with the fact , the city-waits were put in requisition , and took their places opposite his Lordship ' s door , where they serenaded his family with the national air of' God Save the Queen . '" Sentiment must be progressing when this romantic method of insinuating glad news is adopted by the chief thief-catcher of a Scotch town in his communications to his
superiors . The next refinement will be to announce to condemned prisoners the approach of the hour of execution by sending the city-waits to serenade him with " Macphersons Rant . " The Lord Provost , however , seems to have been rather obtuse on the occasion—to have proved himself a sort of Triptolemus Muddlework ; for our informant , the Glasgow Aiqus , adds— " This circumstance ( the serenade ) apprized his Lordship that something unusual had taken place ; and certain intelligence of the event was immediately afterwards conveyed to him by a special messenger . " The allusion was too refinedthe musical head of the police had to call in the aid oJ an interpreter . However , to do " his Lordship " justice , after he had been got to understand what
was going forward , he displayed his loyalty most valonrsly . The reformed Town Council has been somewhat lax in its observation of loyal ceremonies ; but the Provost has not forgotten the days of his youth , when u George the Third was King , " and Magistrates drank the Royal health on the Royal birthday in the open air at the market-cross . He remembers , too , the showers oi dead dogs and cats with which the rabble used to salute them on such occasion ? . He therefore took due precautions before proceeding to renew those public expressions of devotion to the throne . " According to an arrangement made in the course of the morning , the Tenth Regiment of Foot and two companies of the Seventeenth Lancers marched into the vacant
space in front of the Publio Offices , and formed into square . Two- pieces of artillery were also in attendance . " Moreover , the front of the Courthouse was guarded by a 9 trong detachment of Police . " And thus supported , the Magistrates and Sheriff , "greatly daring / 1 drank the healths of the Duke of Cornwall ana his mother at a range of tables fitted up under the portico . On Monday evening , the same functionaries entertained the elite of the city at a great banquet in the City-hall . The City Marshal promulgated beforehand a series of regulations "to be strictly observed ; " some of which , we must take the liberty to remark , are scarcely ia keeping with the Arcadian character of the city serenade . Gentlemen having ladies with them are requested , " after conducting them to the eastern stair , to return and pass into the hall f and
they are told that " gentlemen accompanying ladies to the eastern stair , will be supplied "' with tickets , which they are requested to preserve $ itd produce when th ( y return for the ladies . " Aperemony of this kind is observed with umbrellas aifd gteatcoats at the entrance of the National Gallery and the Library of the British Museum ; bnt itdoes strike us as treating' ladies with Blender Cer ^ igony to deposit them in an antechamber on entehhe a festive hall , to be delivered up again to thetr conductors when they leave , " on producing the ticket . " Do the modern Bailey Jarvies still take "Mattie and the lantern" with them when they ' go out of a dark evening ! and is this startling arrangement made for the accommodation of the handmaidens while waiting to light their masters home ? Mattie might in one sense have been called a lady : " she was good blood—first cousin to the Laird o' Limmerfield . "—Spectator .

_ Wigan . —Mneh curious gossip has been caused in Wtoau by the extraordinary circumstances attending the death of a person named Mary Aspull , who lived b y hersetf in Soholes , never having married . Upon the death of the old lady a search wai made by one or two persons who were next of km to the deceased , they being , however , onl y second cousins . Tneso parties , With one or two other persons who had been requested to attend them , found in their search , m the most obscure and unlikely parts of the house
, no less than £ 5040 ; the whole of whiotf with the exception of about £ 40 or £ 50 , consisted of guineas . The deceased was with some difficulty prevailed upon to make a will a few dayB before she died , wherein she directed that all her property shall be distributed in equal shares to certain parties therein mentioned ( her second cousins , ) and to all others who are equal , and nearer , in degree of relationship . Of course many are the claimants , one of whom is Mr . John Roby , of Rochdale . —Manchester Guardian .

Erhor of supposing the Whalb to be a Fish . —The whale , though an inhabitant of the depths of ocean , and invested with amasing power in swimming and directing its course , with no legs to walk and no capacity to exist out of water , its proper element , —the whale , notwithstanding these fish-like qualities , is not a fish , but belongs to the order of mammalia—of animals that bring forth their progeny and suckle them with milk ; and its fins differ in a singular manner from those of fishes ; they nearly resemble the human arm , and terminate with a hand , having four fingers . The whale is thus enabled to clasp its young , and carry them in its arms , and perform many of the acts of dalliance and
affection for which the mother is distinguished amongst terrestrial animals . The tail of the whale is also a curious combination of mechanical powers ; and , in addition to the great strength bestowed upon it , the muscles allow it tu be turned any way , with as much facility as the human arm . The blood of the whale is warm , like that of terrestrial animals ; its brain is much larger in proportion than that of the fish ; its eyes have a remarkably intelligent expression ; and its sense of hearing is so acute as to increase very considerabl y the difficulty of approaching it near enough to inflict the stroke by which its great strength is finally overcome . —Parley ' s Penny Library .
Alleged Discovery of Valuable Jewels at thb Exchequer . —Our readers will remember that a few weeks ago certain mysterious whisperings were current concerning an alleged discovery , at the Exchequer , of jewels to a very considerable amount—jewels it was said , which had been empawned to meet the exigencies of the extravagant King Charles II ,, and had lain there so long that their existence had been forgotten , and that their discovery was the result of accident , a bit of good fortune , a sort of set-off against the defalcations in Exohequer Bills . The matter was delicately alluded to in some of the papers , bat all seemed to Jack information on the interesting-subject . One paper did , however , venture to confirm the report , but to say that the matter had
been exaggerated . Exaggerated , indeed , it was . In fact , the affair was what is vulgarly called a " mare ' s nest . " A belief had , however , existed in a high quarter that property to a large amount 'had lain by for a long period , the value of which it would bo desirable to ascertain . It appears that in the year 1797 a box containing jewels had been sent from the Exchequer-office to the Bank of England , to be deposited in the Bullion-office ; and an order was recently sent down to the Bank to have the mysterious casket examined . A day was accordingly appointed , and the governor of the bank , Mr . Marshall , the chief cashier , and several gentlemen connected with the Government , assembled for the purpose of
making an official inspection , and reporting upon the same to head quarters . They were , moreover , attonded by several jewellers called in professionally to decide as to the " water" of the diamonds , and the value of the other gems it contained . The conclave assembled—the box was brought in I But to the surprise of all it was nothing more than a lozenge box tied with a red tape and sealed on the top . It was opened and found to contain a pair of diamond earrings , and a garnet brooch . A general laugh was excited by the appearance of the ridiculus mus , and one of the jewellers said he should be sorry to give £ 40 for its contents . These are the simple facts of the matter , which excited much merriment among those encaged in the investigation . —London Paper .
Fire in Woolwich Dockyard . —On Saturday morning last , about half-past three o ' clock , one of the dockyard police , observing smoke issuing from a building uaed for the purpose of making Grant ' s patent fuel , on a close approach to it , found it was in names , and immediately gave the alarm . The dockyard engines were promptly brought to the spot , and the alarum-bell being rung , the engines of the royal marines , royal artillery , and royal sappers and miners , were soon present , and an excellent supply of water being obtained from the basin almost close to the building the spread of the devouring element to the engine-house was prevented , but no exertions could * ave the wooden building in which the fire originated , and consequently it was burnt to the
ground . The fire is supposed to have originated from ono of the iron pipes under a portion of the wood having become overheated on the previous day , and that the wood had , from that cause , such a degree of heat communicated to it as ultimately to ignite . It is worthy of observation that the fires used at this work are always pub out about four o ' clock in the afternoon , immediately after the convicts leave work , so that the fire , if it originated from them , must have remained twelve hours undiscovered . During the fire a fatal accident took place in the basin . A young man , seventeen years of age , named John Johnston , a seaman on board the James and Elizabeth , of Sunderland , schooner , lying in the river alongside the wharf wall of the dockyard , delivering small coal for the purpose of manufacturing Grant ' s
patent fuel , on hearing the alarm of fire came on shore , and the fog was so thick at the time that he walked into the basin ; and striking his head , it is supposed , upon an iron chain , was so stunned , that , although a good swimmer , he was drowned , and bis body was not recovered until about half an hour afterwards . Two marines also fell into the water from a similar cause , bat they were promptly taken out . The officers and crews of the Devastation and the other vessels in her Majesty ' s service in the river and in the basin were promptly on the spot , and by their able assistance were of great service in checking the spread of the fire . The loss will not be very great , as the building was only constructed of wood , and , fortunately , it was in a manner detached from other parts of the yard .

EAST AND NORTH RIDING LECTURER . York . —Charter Association Rooms , Fossoate . —On Sunday , the 21 st inst ., Mr . Stallwood addressed a numerous assemblage ; Mr . Cooper in the chair . At the conclusion a vote of thaukB was unanimously passed to the lecturer . It was also moved , seconded , and carried unanimously , on the motion of Messrs . Gill and Crofts , that Mr . Stallwood be recommended as the most fit and proper person to fill the office of lecturer for the ensuing month . Thanks being passed to the chairman , the meeting separated .
Important Pbocebdiitos . —On Thursday , the 18 th infit ., the Lord Mayor having pledged his word to grant the use of the Guildhall , to the industrious classes for a day meeting , a most respectful requsition was drawn up by Mr . Burley , and signed by a large number of householders and freemen , and presented by a deputation , consisting of Messrs . Demaine , Inglis , and Burley . His Lordship having read the requisition Said , " We congratulated the Queen on Monday last . " Deputation— " No , my Lord ; your address and resolution were lost by a great majority ; we are desirous that her Majesty should be made acquainted with the sentiments and wishes of the industrious classes . " Lord Mayor" You introduce politics , in which I differ with you .
I might talk on this all day with you , and then be beat ; you have your representatives in Parliament . " Deputation— " My Lord , we are unrepresentedthat is our chief complaint . " Lord Mayor— " Your requisition speaks of distress ; there is uo distress in the oity of York , and you have nothing to do with the distress existing elsewhere . " Deputation" Your Lordship is wrongly informed ; great distress at present prevails in our City . " Lord Mayor " I cannot grant the use of the Hall for such a purpose . " The deputation then retired , and drew up a haadbill , containing the original and the amended address , a copy of which was forwarded to the Mayor , and each of the Aldermen , and widely distributed through the city .
A meeting was convened by the requiaitioniats , originally intended to be held in the Thursday market , but in consequence of the severity of the weather it was held in the Association Room , Fossgate . Mr . Halton was called to the chair , who , in a few brief preparatory remarks , called on Mr . 8 : allwood to address the meeting . Mr . Stallwood rose amid the most cordial greeting , and eaid , we are told we are disloyal and traitorous . Had we not exhibited our loyalty I Had we not offered , in our amended address , to congratulate her Majesty on her safe delivery 1 Had we not shown our loyalty by giving to her Majesty daily the sum of £ 164 . 7 s . lOd . wrung from our owu sweat and blood , besides the use of four splendid palaces , and the
immense grounds thereto attached , and this too at a time when the wives of our bosoms and the children of our affections were dragging out a miserable existence upon a wretched pittance of less than threepence per head ? ( Loud shouts of hear , hear . ) Yes we had shown our loyalty to the sovereign , although her Majesty had broken through the Malthu&ian philosophy of the Poor Laws Amendment Bill—got married when a giddy girl—and had two children without herself or her husband having the means of supporting them . ( Loud cheers . ) We had exhibited our loyalty by paying in hard cash to our monarohial executive £ 449 , 885 . ; while in America , where loyalty was paid to the sovereign people , the Presidential or Republican executive only cost
£ 15 , 000 per annum . ( Hear , hear . ) We carried our loyalty still further ; we found her Majesty ' s husband penniless , and we gave him £ 30 , 000 per annum and a commission in the army , while we toil and sweat in rags and wretchedness . ( Hear , hear . ) Another proof of our loyalty was the giving to her Majesty ' s mother the sum of £ 30 , 000 per annum , while our toil-worn brothers and . sisters existed in a miserable garret or wretched cellar Hpon less than twopence per head per diem . ( Shama , shame . ) Our address was offensive to the authorities , because it asked for mercy for FroBt , Williams , and Joues ; if justice had prevailed , they never would have been transported ; had not Frost ' s talents , virtues , and patriotism won for him the affection of a grateful people—had taoy not loaded lum with honours—had they not made him councilman , alderman , lord mayor , and guardian of the poor—had not my Lord John Russell recommended him to her Majesty as
a fit and proper person to be a , magistrate I But , alas ! Frost loved the people ; he was a tender father , an affectionate husband , and a faithful friend , an npriffht magistrate , and an excellent mayor ; he was beloved by the people for his , many virtues , and for the same bated by the Whigs—( load cheers)—and denuded by them of his official robes . ( Shame . ) Williams and Jones were Alike respectable and respected ; they came into Newport in hopes of saving the patriotic Vincent from the fangs of his merciless oppressors —( hear , hear , )—and were entrapped by the Whig sp . ie « j ; by -the machinations of spies was the Newport afiair brought about , and by them were we deprived of their , services , but only for a time , we were determined to have them back again ; we would never cease our exertions until we had effected that object . ( Enthusiastic applause . ) We also asked tor the release of all our political victims . Let the case of Peddie suffice ; he was convicted BM > n the evidence of the felonious wretch

Harrison , who admitted he received large sums of money for his btiitalemyloyment , and was now undenting two years imprisonment for horse stealing . ; he , would ask , ought such good men as Peddie , Hofberry , and others , to be hourly murdered on the evidence of snth a wretch as this 1 * ( Loud cheers . ) But we demanded the Charter as a remedy for the existing evils , distress exista through the length and and breadth of the land . "We are indeed a numerous people , and want strength . We have an excellent soil , and are destitute of provisions . We are active and laborious , and live in indigence . We pay enormous tributes , and are told they are not sufficient . " We have tried the Tories for a century ; and become worse ; we had mock reform , and tried the Whigs for ten years—oar miseries and wretchedness increased . We have now discovered the enemy that
devours us to be class legislation . ( Loud cheers . ) Yes , we find the law makers and administrators well fed , well clothed , well housed , while the unrepresented , although their labour is the souroe of all wealth , have nowhere to lay their head . ( Cheers . ) We demand , then , the abolition of class legislation and the substitution of the People ' s Charter , —( loud cheers , )—and when every party and class shall : bo thus fully and fairly represented in the Commons ' House of Parliament—then , and not till then , will a national remedy be found for the national disease . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Stallwood then ably refuted the cry of danger , and appeased the fears of the timid ; then , said he , let na have the Charter—that edaoatiou may be promoted—industry fostered—commerce increased— -wealth protected—morality shielded—happiness engendered—and our fatherlanda * of England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales ,
rendered" Flowers of the earth , gems of the sea , At once great , glorious , and free . " Mr . Stallwood resumed his seat amid the most livel and enthusiastic demonstrations of applause . An immense number of cases of distress were reported . Upon the motion of Messrs . Cordeux and Crofts , it was also agreed to call a meeting of the unemployed and distressed , and thus disabuse the minds of the public functionaries of the city . Mr . Cooper moved and Mr . Judson seconded a resolution : —** That the thanks of this meeting are due , and are hereby given , to Mr . Stallwood , for his talented , persevering , firm , and consistent advocacy of the rights of the industrious millions . " Carried by acclamation . A vote of thanks was then moved and carried to the chairman , and the meeting dissolved in peace .
KNABESBO&ouGH . ^ On Wednesday , the 17 th inst ., notwithstanding it was fair-day with us , no sooner , was the announcement made that Mr . Stallwood , from London , would address the people , in the National Charter Association-rooms , than thither flocked the people . Mr . John Doaker was called to the chair ; and , in a brief , pithy , sensible speech , introduced Mr . S . to the meeting , who , in a speech of considerable length , vindicated the claims of the industrious millions . His efforts were crowned with the most triumphant ¦ success . Another visit was earnestly requested ; and a vote of thanks unanimously passed . The petition will be more numerously Bigned than ever petition was in the Borough of Knaresbro ' . The brave lads have determined , to wait on the Members for the Borough , and request their support to the petition .
Malton . —Although the rain poured down in torrents , Mr . Stallwood arrived ; the news spread like wild-fire ; a boy was sent out with a placard , and a bellman Bet to work to anounce the glad tidings that the means of our political salvation would be preached in the evening ; thanks to the enthusiasm and kindly feeling of the middle classes in this close pocket-borough , a large granary was engaged , and au audience of at least 690 collooted together . Mr . Stallwood addressed them in his usual convincing strain , much to their satisfaction ; at the conclusion , a large number of Chartist publications was disposed of , several members added to the association , a good sum collected at the door , and it was announced that the lecturer would be with them again on the 30 th . O'Connor and Vincent would meet with an enthusiastic reception here . This will , in a little time , be one of our very best Chartist localities .

BERNARD CAVANAGH , THE TOTAL-ABSTINEXCE KNAVE , CAUGHT OUT AT LAST ! Reading , Saturday . This fellow , whose plausible and successful duplicity completely deceived some of the most eminent scientific and medical bodies in London , has , at last , been detected in his imposture , and he is now serving out the term of his imprisonment of three months , with hard labour , at the treadmill in the gaol of thi 8 * town , as a rogue and vagabond , to which he has just been sentenced by S . Chase , Esq . the mayor . Cavanagh arrived here on the 12 th instant , taking up bis quarters at the sign of the Black JBoy , a pnbliO * house in Broad-street , accompanied by the same man , named Tier nan , wb . 9 assisted him in pursuing hia various systems of hypocrisy and imposture , while be was levying contributions upon the public in London , The knave , immediately after hia arrival , issued a catching handbill , of which the following is a copy : —
¦ " EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON . " The celebrated Bernard Cavanagh ( from , the county of Mayo ) , who has excited so much attention from the medical aad scientific world , on account of his exces sive powers of abstinence , which are attested beyond all doubt , is now in this town , and invites all inquirers into the cause of so singular a phenomenon to pay him a visit at the Black Boy , Beading , during his stay . A few of his philosophical friends in London , wishing to gain some additional light open this case , have advised him to give this general invitation , and make no distinct charge for admissions ; but as the expences of travelling , about the country with his brother ( who eats like other nieh ) will be beyond their means , any friendly ( lunations will be thankfully received . *
Things went on swimmingly for some days , and the fellow and his . companion were reaping a pretty plentiful harvest , a ) though there was nothing char / fed for admission to see the " fasting man , " the impostor leaving the gratuity he looked for to the " liberality of the curious ; " and there is not the least doubt , bad it not been for the timely and , indeed , extraordinary discovery of the cheat , that be and his worthy coadjutor would , before they left the town , have walked off with a very handsome sum gathered from the nutner ns visitors who flocked to the Black Boy to see this '' eighth wonder of the world . "
He was apprehended with his " Man Friday , " Tiernan , on Thursday , through the instrument ? Uty of a Mrs . Hatfc , the wife of a labouring man , residing in Crown-street , by Mr . Houlton , the Superintendent of the Reading police , upon the charge of being a rogue and vagabond , and & rank impostor . He was then taken before the mayor , and the following evidence was produced against him : — Harriet Hatt being sworn stated , in substance , as follows : —On the preceding evening , she went , accompanied by . some frienda , to see the fasting maw , at the Black Boy . She asked him several questions on the subject of his abstinence from food , which he answered very unsatisfactorily , except that he stated he had not eaten a morsel of any eno thing for the last tire years and a half . Witness bought one of hia boots , containing an account of his life and abstinence from food , foe which he was paid 6 d ., and her friends gave him another (? d . before they left The next morning witness
had occasion to go to a chandler ' s shop in Southamptonstreet ( which is a long distance from the Black Boy ) , and while she was sitting in a room behind the shop she saw a man enter , \« do , notwithstanding hia disgnise , she was certain was the prisoner , lie had a handkerchief tied round hi ^ forehead which nearly covered bis eyes , ends large patch upon bis nose . As soon as he came in he asked for a saveloy and a quarter , of a pound of ham , which he particularly wished to be cat pretty fat , and a small loaf . He was served with these articles , for which he paid , and then went away . Witness then directly proceeded to the Black Boy , where she discovered that the prisoner Ind been gone out a short time before , to take a walk ; and after waiting there for upwards of an hour she saw him return , but he had then doffed his disguise and appeared as usual . She mentioned her suspicions to the landlord of the house , who tbtn communicated with the police .
John Croaker , the landlord of the Black Boy , stated that the prisoner came to his honse very late on Friday evening , and inquired if his brother ( describing him as n man who carried a pack ) . had arrived . ' Witness told him that a man , answering that description , was in the houso ana in bed . He then shewed witness one of his bills , aud said that lie was the man it related to . He asked if he could be accommodated with a bed , and he was'told he could . He and the man Tiernan bad been living in witness ' s house from that time until thejr were apprehended : The bill witness saw in the room ( exhibited by the prisoner ) was placed there wittiest his consent . The impostor , upon being called on for his defence said it was of very little use his saying anything , as after what had taken place he supposed ho should net be believed ; and therefore , perhaps he had better say nothing . At last he said , "I did eat , for the Lord caased me to be hungry . " : . : ; -
The Mayor then addressed the prisoner , pointing oat to bun the disgraceful conduct he had been pursuing in deceiving and gulling the public by gross artifice and imposture , and telling him that it was his determination , at least for a time , to put a stop to bis deceptions n ^ on the public . The "fasting " impostor was then sentenced t » ttiree months' imprisonment and hud labour , as a rogue 'fed vagabond . The fellows worthy colleague , John Tieman , waialto sentenced to one month ' s imprisonment fo » hawking without a license . . The man with the pack , whom Cavanagh called hia brother , had , very fortunately for himself , taken his departure from Beading , and thms escaped . Very probably » BJTnilay pr ^ ifihTrmnt .
It will now be seen if the trcad-miU will , not bring ah appetite to the " fasting" man , and , at . the same time , the impostor to hia senses . What will tt » Timu say ?
