SCRAPS FOB RADICALS B 5 I . T . CLAJ . CY . Is'APOLEON , Nc . 15 . Written on Shakspere ' s Cliff in -view of the Strand , vhere once paraded the " Glory ; of Franoe and the terror of Eorope . " Oh 1 no mo » to the Eagle of Prance shall be given , lie glory to eosx witii his dead-tipping wings ; pjoclaimiBS o'er earth from the dome of high heaven , The monarch of nations—the rnler of kings , yo more in the gloaming , ere battle yon'J find him Wrapped np in his "grey coat , " and restless I ween , Ie combat thrice oTer the foes ¦ who consigned him To perish far from his dear banks of the Seine .
yo more shall the clouds of oppression be broken . His thunder and lightning has ceased with Ma fall ; Tbo * eft shall his glorisus achievement * be spoken , By those ¦ who would onward to death at his call . He's gone ; tot forever , the brave will deplore him , The chivalrous ill-fated victim of war I And weep the sad day when the green land o ' ei him , Was blasted by snow on the hills of the Czar . Too long oath hia corse lain beneath the green "willow , Far , far , from thee France on a desolate ahore ; With a brook fox his bed and a rock for his pillow , Bat now the rude surges shall mock him no more . Then glory O France 1 in thB name that ador'd thee , Else blot out thy name from the lists of the brave ; IiO ! the Btar of his greatness expiring fell e ' er thee , But bast thou jio meteor to beam on his grave ?

CHELTENHAM . O'CONNOR'S DEMONSTRATION . "VTBITIBN BT J 0 H 2 ! SEETT . COSTE , gentle goddess , wave thy heav nly wing ; And conch the harp's almost neglected string . Though great thy theme , fear not , celestial maid ; Where trntb inspires true dignity is laid . True , some experienced pen , with gait sublime , Thy theme should honour with immortal thyme ; Some classic Thompson , sJrilTd in gentlest lore , Or be who slumbers on the Theban shore , Or ratal Boms , fair Scotia ' s darling child , Or mighty Shakespeare lam'd for fancy wild , Should raise thy theme a moonment of fame , Profnselj dec&'d with « rect Parnassian bays , To baldly Ako&l tbe great O'Co ?< xo&s praise .
But tfcou , alas . like these canst never sing ; By fate deprived of fancy ' s glorious wing ; By cruel fortune barrM from learning ' s fane ; Esch hope o ' erwhelm'd by life ' s tempestuous main Deprived of all that fortune ' s child can claim , Exc ept that gloricuB and unstooping flame—The flaae of freedom , —fortune cannot quench , If or fate itself with all its billows drench ; That rides supreme o ' er eVry troubled wave , And boldly claims what heav ' n bo freely gave ; Devoid of which , how poor the poet ' s verse
That ' s meanly train'd to win the lordling ' s purse ; Though fancy ride in every glowing line , And learning ' s wreath securely round it twine ! Yet O ! without that spark of heavenly flame , It ' s dastard author wears a crown of shame ; Then , ¦ wherefore fear , sicce Tirtae is the test ? Whose flam © xn 3 y -trarm the fortUUi-frOZSIX bre&St And tho'dame fancy clasp her niccard arm , If or learning deign to give one pleasing charm , Thou yet may ' st sing what duty shall inspire , While surest truth alone conducts tbe lyre .
See morn unfolds ! and Sol , from eastern skies , With beams etcerial o ' er creation flies ! Gilds o er the lawn , where fragrant dew-drops bright With ambitnt sparkles , hail the God of light , While , soft refracted 'gainst yon mountain ' s Bide , In sweet profusion rolls the golden tide I Peeps o er the cliff with majesty snd power J And gladdened nature frafl" the joyous hour . And thou 0 Sol , that now dost reign on high ! Thy orb celestial in the clcudless sky , HaAh never seen a day so truly great—A day so glorious for Britannia ' s state—As this which dawns by thina awakening power , To "fag the requiem of oppression ' s hour , When © reeiaa bcroes dedt'd the martial field , And OTuViiiij airows rung each brazsa rtuelt 3 .
And as a forest stocpeth to tbe wind , So moves the mass , fc > freedom ' s cause resign'd , Each breast dilating at the glorious gctne ; Aid independence walks with manly mtin . 2 ? ow , near the spot where freedom ' s champion brave Shall warm tfce besom . of each noble s ! atx ; niume fcis soul with love ' s pure ieav ' nly flame , The glorions impulse to immortal fame—To place each foot in union ' s cantfring line Teat crowns with laurel * freedom ' s glorious shrine ,
The mighty Bsaibers bright with BeaVnly light ; Show how a people ' s aU-SBfEctent might , 3 Ii * bt so hurl down oppression ' s blood-built throne , And raise triumphant freedom's gloriuns dome . For , know ye , Br itons ; know ye . sons of toil , Whose bl # ody sweat manures the verdant soil , Te , who produce what lordly tyrants eat , Who inxoions crush yon " neath their haughty feet , Know ye , in you their greatness doth consist , And to be free is o > lt to resist
The sin now journeys in the glorious west , Tet lingers lovely ere he sinks to rest , Besoiva to see tfce glories of the day , Ere sunk reenmbent " neaih the-ocean's spray ; And banne rs waving o er tfce marshal'd files Are richly garnish'd with bis golden smiles . And 01 ye thousands , warm with heavenly fire , Benold , and viewing let it each inspire ; Behold I the emblem , must I say of who ? A tender patriot and a patriot true ; He who fought nobly—he ^ who scorn'd the smile Of those who trample on the sons of toi ! . And -when old Priam from tbe Trr-jan wall BfchtM thy radiasee on each , . helmet / all ; Xot tbeD , 0 I Sol , the day was half so * reat ! That only weigh'd a captive woman's fate : While this , with great events , will proudly teem , And tjiants tremble at each glorious scene .
Time rolls along , each shadow flies the west , And zeal impatient fills each manly breast ; And like Atrides ' mong the G .-eeian hosts , Ezch son of freedom to his neighbour posts ; Erects tbe standard of eternal truth . Circs hope to age and points the path of youth . Tbe glorious sun now bangs in southern skies , And busy mannars do incessant rise , As -when the wind loud pratiini ? through the grove , With rustic cadence charms the ears of love ; As when the hares do lowing seek the folds , And down the vale the noisy clamcur rolls : So mingled volets , r aise one general sound , Aad " west O Co >> "ok" dote al » ud resound .

The Rev . Gentleman stated that his remarks on emigration had
been rather elicited in deference to the judgment of others than to serve any object of his own . He had no interest to serve by lecturing , nor was he the agent of any land company in the colony ; if , however , be coald preserve any person from false steps , or satisfy any who might be in uncertainty as to emigration , he should consider himself to have been well employed . The lecture was of great length , and was listened to with patient attention . A vote of thanks was given to the lecturer at the close .

AccjBE . NT fbom Fire Asms . —On Monday last , an accident from the incautious use of fire arms , occurred at the house of Mr .

Robinson to do some trifling jobs about bis house . At dinner time he was sat in the tap-room eating so ma bread and cbeese , rrben suddenly a report of fire arms was heard , and the poor fellow fell to the floor covered with blood . He was at once removed to thft Infirmary , and an enquiry set on foot as to the person who had fired the shot ; it then , appeared that _ a lad named Porster bad an old pistol in bis possession , which , on Monday , whilst he was
getting Ms dinner , he had lest to another lad named Moss , who having plaod a cap on the nipple , held the muzzle to ine ear of a companion , named Illingworth , and pulled the tiigtcer . The cap exploded , but no further consequences ensued , tba pisiol though charged having missed fire . After tais the pistol was returned to Porscer , who , whilst standing in the street , close to tho tap room window of the Wild Man , fiz «< l on another cap , and t > oin : /> rf iho pistol through tbe window which Happened to be open , and pulled the trigger . The contents of the pistol exploded directly , and the whole cnarge took effect on the right chcefc of Ru 3-sum , - the powder breaking and entering the skiD , and a strong waddiDg striking him with great force on tbe temple . Tbe skin has been since removed by Mr . Samuel Smith ( under whoso care be is placed ) , and we are glad to hear hs is doing well . We are told that the lad who was tbe cause
of the miEchief , has been occasionally employed to carry out pipes by Mr . Lonsdale , and that , after the accident , he was sent wr . h some p ipes from Mr . Lonsdale ' s shop , after which he absconded , and has not since been beard of . We understand he declares " positively his ignorance of tbe pistol being loaded .

He
ultimately got in and found tbe prisoners ; there were sundry articles of fnrniture in tbe bouse , which had been placed there " for convenience of gale / ' some of wbich had been broken either by the prisoners or some other paTty . On being asked what they had to say , Webster said he had enlisted , and was about to leave the town ; he bad met with Dawson , on Saturday ni ^ bt , and they agreed to have a spree before , he set off . They accordingly went and had some drink , after which they sec off in search of a house of ill fame , and knowing the one in which they were found to be such they went in , having found the door open , and from tbe fact of furniture being there , they had no doubt they were right , until the watchman disturbed them . They denied ha-ing injured anything , or that they were there with any felonious intent .. Tbe magistrates , however , thought otherwise , and not believing their story entirely , sent them for a month to Wak&field .
Fatal AcciDK ? rr ..- ^ On Tuaway morning , an inquest was held at the house of Mr . Ingbam , the George Inn , Kirkstall , before Mr . E C . Hopps , deputy coroner , on view of the body of John Firth , tbe son of Mr . Henry Firth , carrier , of Calverley Moor , near Bradford .

Sensation had evidently ceased at once ,
and instant death been occasioned . There vvas the appearance of a contused mark on the left bide both before and behind , bnt he did not think the wheel of the waggon had gone over him , though it might , have touched him . The Jury , after hearing the evidence returned a verdict of " Accidental Death . " The deceased was twenty-four years of age , and was generally respected ; he was exceedingly corpulent , and the weather being hot , decomposition had actually commenced ; great complaints were made , not only by tbe landlord of tbe house , but by some of the jury , at the delay wbich had arisen in holdiDg the inquest , and Mr . Hoppswas questioned on the subject . That gentleman replied , that Mr . Blackburne had left home on Saturday , and previous to his having had notice of his intention be had made ATT * nffATnants to meet a oartv on important
professional business at Addingham , on Monday . To attend to that he had left home on Saturday himself , and the business did not terminate until bix on Monday evening . He felt sorry for the delay , and for the Hnpleasantaess which it had occasioned , but from Sunday intervening , it had in this case been unavoidable . —Connected with this accident , another © eenrred , from which the suffering party is not vet pronounced out of danger . A sweep who was returning to Leeds had obtained leave to ride in the waggon , and when the horses started off , and Firth was thrown down , he attempted to jump out . In doing so he fell , and the wheels of the waggon passed over Ms thieb , causing a compound fracture , besides injuring the tc * 3 on his other foot . The poor fellow was taken up afiol removed to , Leeds Infirmary , where he etUl remains .

KGIGHLEV . —A vestry meeting took place in this town , or Friday last , for the purpose of laying a church rate for the ensuing year . At five minutes to eleven o ' clock , Mr .

At eleven , the vestry door was opeued , and in rushed tha working men , who numbered aboafc three hundred . The pJaoe Tjeing too small , tho Parson , without any motion being made , adjourned tho meeting into the churchyard , where he soon seated himself on his official tripod . After some small talk , he mounted the
saored stool , and , in true parsonic style , endeavoured to humbug the people , by appealing to iheir softer passion ? , bu ; it was " no go ; " they bad not forgot the , clocks , tables , desks , and wood he had-Sfizad xip'Mi for Efcofcox- dnoo , « r . U Atliav fjrMa imitnciHnnR " The swinish multitude" did not ri lish sach canting hypocrisy . The Parson seeing this , immediately called upon Mr . Wm . Marrener , churchwarden , to read over the various items , to meet which the present rate was called for . Mr . M . hoped a good feeling would be manifested , and the rate , as it was a small one , granted without the matter being brought to a poll . Mr . F , Greenwood , magistrate , t !; en proposed that a rate of three farthings in the pound be granted to meet the current expences of
the year , and not suffer the eacred edifice to fall into decay , or leave the communicants without the emblems of the flesh and blood of tbeir'dying Lord . Mr . Firth , at thia stage of the business , wished to ask the Rev . Chairmau , a question , namely , if the parishioners , should move a counter resolution to the ODe they intended to submit to the meeting , and m the event of its being carried , and should the church party demand a poJl , would he fix upon Tuesday as tbe cay for commencing ? " I shall reserve to myself tho right of fixing any day I please , " was the reply . It was then moved by a working man named John Wattrhouse , and seconded by Mr . John Smith , " that this meeting do adjourn to this day twelve months . " Fond as the clergy are of pigs not their owe , bis Reverence did not relish this " grunt , " and
refused to put the motion . It was then proposed by Mr . Joseph Firth , a fearless veteran in the radical rank ? , "" Ti ? at , as the Rev . chairman refused to do his duty , he should vacate the chair , and that it be taken by Mr . Robert Atkinson , hatter and grocer , a man of the strictest integrity , intelligence , liberality of priuciple and moral worth . " On being seconded and pot to the meeting , all the blistered hands were instantly up , and it was triumphantly carried . Tbe official locust further insulted the meeting by refuang to vacate the chair . The assembled parishioners made repeated calls for the person who had been selected a $ their chairman , but he was not willing to yield to their call , for reasons which on any ether occasion would have bad no weight with him . Mr . F . Greenwood then seized the books
and ran off with them , and a few true sons of mother church seized tho table and tried to up-set it . After the row had subsided , and a poll had been demanded , Messrs . Atkinson , Waterhouse , and Firth , mounted a grave stone , and the two latter administered a severe and well-merited castration to the church party . Mr . F . Greenwood threatened to read the < riot act , in order to quell the disturbance he had crcatod , by surreptitiously running off with the bocks .

The Emus Riots ;— The head constable , 37 constables , and Rub-constables , who wero lately exonerated by the Clare grand jury , of even &Y . primd . facie case of . guilt in tho late riot at Ennis , left thai sown on Friday for tho police depot , Phoanix Park , Dublin , where they are to remain for some time , after which they will bo transferred to different stations . The Evening < Post states that Mr . Li C . Smyth , the stipendiary rda « idtrate , who figured in the affair , has been ordered to change his quarters from Ennis to Borris-o-Kane , Captain Duff relieving him at the former place . If this be the amount of the punishmcut meted out to Mr . Smyth , he certainly has no reason to complain of great hardhriossbii the part of the Irish Executive .

Dreadful Story . —On Thnrsday week , while a number of the worV men employed in the erection of Glenties workhouHO were standing together , one of them , with no bad intention , ; we bel'eve , took the bonnet off his neighbour and throw it into tho lime kiln b l «> i )^ iKi » to the works i which had "not been quite emptied since tho last burning . The owner of the bonnet went down into the kiln to recover it , but , not making his appearance , one of his friends also descended by the ladder , to see whiat detained him , and afterwards another , and another , till four had disappeared . Tho fears Of the rest were now excitod ; and , having hastened to the kiln , they heard a faint flhriek , and with great difficulty succeeded , by tbrowing down a rope , in r < scuiug the last of the four who descended , from the fate which had overtaken tho other three . Death was caused by their inhaling the carbonic acid giis which bad collected at the bottam of the kiln . —Derru Standard .
An Immense Gun . —On Thursday a barge arrived at the wharf of tho Royal Arsenal , having on board tho largest gun ever made in this country . A powerful shears , was put up expressly for landing this ponderous piece of ordnance , weighing very nearly eighteen tons , uone of the cranes on tho wharf being equal to the task . The arrangements for landing this great gun were excellently made , add carried into effect without tho slightest accident ; and the labour of conveying it to the butt shows great ingenuity , being effected by a coil of strong rope around if , moving the immense mass in a rolling manner along four large logs of wood , changed alternately
as the gun progresses . This gun is made on the howitzer principle , and is about twelve feet long , with an immense quantity of metal at the breech . The diameter of the boro is within one-tenth of sixteen inches . The weight of solid shot with which it will be fired is 445 lbs ,, and shells of 3301 bs ., and it is expected two t . olid- ehot of that weight and four shells in the same proportion will be used when it is proved at the butt . The howitzer was cast and bored by Messrs . Walker and Co . ; for Mchemet Ali , Pasba , . of-Egypt , ; and two other ^ large guus , 130 pounders , were landed at the same time to be proved for service in Egypt .

Mu ' rtoii , near Appleby , Westmoreland , were about leaving , their : daily calling , they were shut" in the minesy owing to the falling of a large portion of the works . Aa soon as the avvful cucumstance became - known their fellow-workmen were indefatigable in their exertions to save , if poseible , the livesof the two men , who were , as was then supppaed either dead or among tho ruins , or , irritillaliTe , doomed to a lingering death . Fortunately their exertipns to Bave the lives of Sloe and Hutchinson were successful for , after most laborious werkihg from Saturday

The survey or of the mines , from planB which he had in his posession , formed tho sobeme of digging . down-ward ' s to where tha working of the old shaft came in contact with the one which is at present worked . Had this plan been adopted at the onset , it is probable that the men would have been ^ rescued much tooner . Mr . Dinwoodie , the company ' s surgeon , was in attendance from Saturday till .

one ot the most important in the ^ empire , has been for some time on the verge of an outbreak , and on the receipt of this intelligence a revolt took . place in the town of Soroeaba , and which , if not checked in the biid , may liavo the most pernicioas effects .

No one can tell how they intend repealing the Union . They have disavowed American ' Suasion , " which they were told was gunpowder * ' Suasion , " and they will not bring the question
forward in the House of . Commons : the quastion is , then , how are they to Repeal the Unton ? This ia a mystery bo one cansee through .
