HAIilFAS . —Oa Monday week , the members of lie Loyal Trafalgar Lodge , No . 454 , of the Manchester Unity of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows , in the Halifax district , held their anniversary in the Royal Hot « l 2 xd Odd Fellowa' Hall Tap , when upwards of 130 members sat down to an elegant and substantial dinner , provided by Mr . » nd Mrs .

MID-LOTHIAN . —Coixebs' Strike . —This determined aiid oijflmching body of men are still ont on Etrike , in Dumber about twelve hundred , without ; he least prospect ( as far as present appearances go ) of a speedy settlement ; the men and tieir families are enduring gTeat privations , still they are in good heart , notwithstanding the many grow falfehoods , and vile calumnies with which tbej have been s ? s ? iied ; they are truly a brave set of fellows . At the White Hill colliery there are
about seventy black fheep , pretending to hevr coal , they are ( I am told ) a most wretched set , consisting of some of the worst characters in the county of Edinburgh ! They are not colliers ; some are country labourers , and some who never before laboured at all . Indeed the great part of these EiseraWe cowardly Black Nebs are the very refuse of society ; getting these mean fellows to pretend to work , is an artful dodge , got up to frighten the poor colliers inio work : but the brave lads see through the trick , and will not be canght . As might be expected , these Mlows taking the colliers work , has greatly exasperated the latter , and it is feared they will be attacked ; however , I would advise them to let them alone ; tbey will shortly find their own level . Colliers ! treat them with Eilent contempt ; your oppressors would be glad to catch you breaking the law ; avoid the trap \—Correspondent .
CATSIiT 5 I » E . —Lectttres ox Socialism . —Mr . Hobeil Uwen ceiivercd a coarse of three lectures in our Theatre last week . There w as a pretty numerous and r £ spec r able attendance each evening ' . He was luttned to throughout wi' . h the greatest attention ; and hi- - lectuies , which were Icudiy applsaded , tot ociy gave treat delight to his friends and admirtif , but were "well received by the public . His Fptj : cts were " the Causes of , and only Remedy for , the exi ? ting distress , diSculiies , and dangers which pervacc the Manufacturing and Agricultural Population of Great Britain and Ireland . " In his first lecture , he dwelt on the "' Science of Society , " which , he said , was divided iiitofour grand elements , namely , arrangements to produce wealth ,
arraDgenitu's to distribute that wealth , arrangements to form the h > : man character , and arrangements to govern , locally and generally , beneficially for all . Ai pre ^ nt , these elements , over the world , were in the most random coTifur-ion ;—there Lad been no wisdom or foresight displayed ; and the most in-COBgrnons acd injurious proportions existed in every pan of Eocieiy . Sir . Owen contehded that . society was now in possession of all the materials , in the greatest abundance , which , would change the present wretched system of ignorance and misery , for a state superior to any yet experienced by the human race . He proceeded —** When I first entered in ' . o life , the manufacturing system was about commencing in this country . I
was early detply involved in it . 1 very eool saw the effects which must prow up from it , and couid trace its nl . imave consequences . These consequences were cot only foretold ty me , bnt I published it at the time , and " the publication is now on record . I then stated what has txacdy occurred at the present day . At that period oar population was not moro than fifteen millions in Great Britain and Ireland ; and these fifteen millions produced , under the then arrange meu's of society , before the people were tsken in g mills and factories , a manual power of about three millions—one fifth of the population . These Wire assisted by the old machinery , and the HDcls Ep : rrnng wheel * . All the thread was then spun a snide thread at a time upon the cottage
wheel . This had not been altered for many hnndre ^ . jeais . ard amounted to about the labour of twelve millions These were assisted by the labour of the three millions , making fifteen millions ; thus the combined productive power cf science and labovr were just f qua ! to the population , or the population and productive povrer stood as one to one . Iu the Jear 1753 1 purchased of the partners the establishment of >" ew Laisrk , in Scotland , and I found by ay calculations that with the working part of that population , amounting io about 1 , 800 out of a P ° Fu ! u : on o : 2 . 50 b , and the machinery discovered by Artwright and Walt , that the 1 .. 800 individuals ¦ were produc : iig as mnch , as upon the old plan of a ssgle thread -would , have Teqaired a population of t 00 , 000 . Now , observe this single fact , and it will lead jour minds to a right conclusion . They thus Jnuaediatfcly b ? t the difference of the market
between the consumption of 2 , 500 and C 00 , 000 . It was py tins disproportion of increase , and the markets of we world , that , for the first time in the history of the human race , we were now starring from protocing too much , and because we have not sense enough to know how to apply this mechanieal power . ¦ now , what hss befn the change in that time ! Oar Population has not yet been doubled , bat the in * crease of Eckntifio ' power has been from twelve « nlions to upwards oi seven hundred millions , or « ore than twenty to one of the population . It is « 9 ame as if au individual had twenty slaves working morning and ni ^ hi , who neither eat , drink , cor wear clothes , and yet this individual was in a * e condition than when he had only one slave ; aa the people of th s highly Christian country are «? w in the most degraded condition , and suffering w&ttiB which is accumulatiDg upon them , How in

this my fr . ? enJ » I It show 3 there has been tomet ^ ing fundamentally wrong in ths foundation oi socitty ; for if society had been based upon a &ouo . d priiicip ! c—if those who reled the worid had understood what was going forward—what this power was , and how : o givo it a wise direction , the results would have b . ^ en the vary opposite of those wiiich have taken place , and wo might now have had as wcll-employed and well-educated population . " Mr . Owen continued at some length to show that from the misapplication of machinery , through a system of individual interest ? , and scientific power being brought into competition with manual labour , that the hours of labour ( had been lengthened , and the physical , mental , and moral conditk-n of the population had been deteriorated to a frightful degree ; and
stated it as his opinion that if machinery had been employed under a system of united interests , the laboar of man might be abridged to four hours a day . After alluding to the iDJary to society and the bad feelings generated , from land , labour , capital , and skill being separate and conflicting interests , Mr . Owen concluded hU first lecture by some remarks upon the effect of what are called the learned professions—apon the happiuess of mankind . —In his second lecture Mr . Owen entered into bis peculiar views of the formation of human character , contending that any general character , from a very inferior to a very superior being , might be given to any individual by the society amongst whom he was born . Some written questions were handed in at the close of each lecture , to which he replied . The third lecture was on the Milennial Btate of
existence , which he contended would b ^ produced by ihe adoption of bis views . All the preaching in the world he maintained would never produce ** peace on earth , good will to man , " until practical arrangements were formed for removing the strife , contention and injustice generated by a system of individual iuterestiand competition . At the close of this lecture , a great many questions were put , principally of a theological character , to which replies were given . DUNDEE . —We perceive from the Star that the people -of various places are be . -tirring themselves with success iu remrniatr men of sound democratic
principles at the local elections . This is a point of attj » ek which has been but too much neglected in almost every town in the kingdom by the people . The people possess a power in these matters which they bava not been properly alive to ; and it is one of the most cheering aspects of the limes to see them set about their own work in earnest . Duudt-e has fora number of successive year 3 bearded the factions at the local elections , but this yearpromises a reward to their labours beyond their most . sanguine expectations . Tha election of police commissioners ( twentytwo in number ) took place about ten days ago . The
Chartisis set to work in a business-like manner . Upon the other side , pablie bou&es were opened , and whiskey dealt out freely wivhout money and without price . The democrats pursued a 3 teady and sober course , and after the keenest contest ever held in Dundee , thirteen Chartists were returned . This , yoa will exclaim , is ' a decided majority ; not so , they have provided in the act that ihe Sheriff , Provost , four Bailies and Dem of Guild are commissioners er-pfficio . It is such a working minority , however , as has caused much alarm in the enemy's camp .

Heats op Alian Ccxmxghah . —Mr . Allan Cunningham , the poet and well-known prose writer , of 27 , Lower Belgrave-placc , died suddenly on Saturday evening from an attack of apoplexy . He was the personal friend of Sir Walter Scott and Sir Francis Caantrey , and t mm whose literary fame was universally known . Hi ? age was 57 . An Eel , S feet 6 inches long , and 2 feet in circumference ; was brought up in a scoop , last week , by some ballast-men at work in the Thames . The ballast-men stated that the e * l snorted and barked at them-like-a dog when they first took it out of he water . A kich mine of yellow ambeT , of a hardness equal to rock crystal , has just been discovered in the neighbourhood of the town of Z ? hderick , near Potsdam . This discovery is the more remarkable , as up to the present time yellow amber has only been found in the Baltic , or on the shores of that sea .
Canal between thb AiiASTie and Pacific Oceans . —It has been decreed by the Congress of J » ew Granada , that all the privileges which have heretofore been given to tho French and English , in Opening a canal through Parian , a , be forfeited and withdrawn , and the project of connecting tbe Atlantic with the Pacific be thrown open to the competition of the whole world . So tast and nnprec ? dented have bpen the shoals of herriDgs this season upon the Margate coast , that the Jane , one of the fishing smacks , arrived at the jefy on Sunday morning week , with a cargo of the miraculous nnmber of 50 , 000 ; tho whole of which the crew . disposed of to a fish carer for £ 50 , being less than s farthing each .
Gigantic Skeleton . —A few weeks since , while digging in a tan-pit at Mr . M'Intosh ' s works , about a mile and a quarter west from Grangemouth , the workmen came upon several very large bones of the posterior "extremities of an immensely large horse , about six feet from the surface , imbedded in blue clay . The stratum of clay ia about forty-two feet thick . Afterwards , it was resolved to exhume the skeleton , and care was taken , on removing the superstrata , to ascertain if it had been a buried animal . The upper strata was about twenty inches thick , and there was no moisture in the clay ; it appeared JHSt to have been gradually covered . The skeleton" was a very large one ; from the
foreteeth to the back part of the Fkull was two feet , and by the teeth , he had been about five years old at his death . The shoe- ; were upon the feet ; at the greatest breadth they are five and a half inches and , although considerably worn , one weighs lib . lioz . " imperial . The bonts are reddish coloured , and appear much like those foutid at Bannockburn . From tho depth in which it was imbedded , and the shoes having also been found upon it , it must have long been buried , and is probably one of the horses killed at the first battle of Falkirk . A partofvhe English army would likely be upon the spot where it was fonnd on the day of the battle . —Stirling Observer .
Shipwreck ., and Strance Story of the Scrvivoes . —A Corre .-poDcent , who witnessed the circumstances related below , giveB the following a-ccoum of them : —During the storm of Tuesday last , tht 25 : h , a ship was wrecked at this p lace ( Eastbourne ) under the following extraordinary circumstances . It strikes ise , that the particulars ought to be made known . Soon after four o ' clock a Tet = el was seen coming round Beachy-bead very near to the land ; and it soon was evident that she would Ehortly be on shore . In & few minutes she struck un & Itd ^ c cf rocks , called the Bolder-ridge , very nearly opposite to the sea-housea . We could distinctly read b < r name as she reeled round , "Wa t , oi Plymouth . " The most intense anxiety perva-ded
every class of the numerous spectators . No boat , except the life boat , could venture to put off , without a certainty of destruction ; and many impatiently began to exclaim , Where is the life-bo ' at ? Why do they delaj ? But it soon was shown that the persons to . whem the care of her was intrusted were waiting , not from fear or indifference , but most wisely . She was carried on "wheels about half a mile westward , and then was launched . It was a most beautiful sight to see how rapidly and yet how steadily she cat through ihe foaming waves . And when she came away with every one of the crew rescued and safe , her approach to land was more like an arrow from a b ' ow , than ihe motion of a boat . I am afraid to say for How many yards she came on the crown
oi one tremendous wave , which ' . hrew her high on the beach . The crew consisted of the chief mate , four men , and two bojs ; a !) d the report they make is this : —They fcrmed part of the crew of the Jane London , of Miramachi , and were returning home from Liverpool ( which place they left Aucust 2 £ ) , when in the Gulf of St . Lawrence , lat . 45 , 30 N ., longitude 38 J W ., they nearcd the Watt , laden with timber , and hailed her . The crewsaid she had nine feet of water in the hold , and that they were about tc abandon her , and this they did the next day . Abont two hours afterwards these men from the Jane London took possession of her , and for nearly six weekB have been in much difficulty and distress . In want of provisions , and worn-out , and fearing lest they should all perish in the storm , they resolved to run her on shore at Eastbourne . Considerable suspicion wrs raised as to the truth of
their report , but the general opinion is now that it is correct . They eay it was their intention to take her to the first port they reached , four or five boat ? are besily employed from morning to night in bringing her cargo , some very fine timber , on Bhore . As a stranger , I cannot but admire the judgment , xsaJ , and integrity which all persons in any raanner brought into contact with , this accident have shown thronghont . Since writing the above , I have had an opportunity of examining more closely into this extraordinary case , and feel little or no doubt that their story is quite true . They had no bo 3 t , and though they had an anchor , tV . ey had not strength enough to use it . They had no chart of ihe Channel , and when they first saw land , it was tho Isle o ! Wight ,- which they mistook for Beachy-Lead , and when thty . came to iUa * hy-head they considered i ; to be tbe South Foreland .

^ Africa . —IntelHgenca has been received from vVe&tern Africa to xhs second Augugfc . It annotinc s trio return to Fernanda Po of the Queen ' s steamer . VV jlberforc-2 , froja the ascent of the Niger to the model-tarm of the African Civilization Society , and the bringing * away of all tho people and prop ? rly loft by the Niger expedition . The Wiibsrforce ascended under command of Lieutenant Webb , with eight or ten Europeans , who volunteered from Fernando to ; the rest of the ship's company being native Africans . With the exception of the commanderand one of the
, volunteers , all th 9 Whites were laid up withsickness before the Wilberforce reached the coast ; and latterly the engine had been worked by a Black boy , who had learnt its management on board Mr . JamtesonV steamer Ethiopa ; the engineers bains sick with the rest . " Such a wreck of property" says a private letter from Liverpool , " as was landing at Oarcnco Cove never was seen . " The natives had not molested the people at the model-farm ; bat air . Car , who attempted to ascend from the coast iu a canoe , had , it is supposed , been murdered in the Nun river .
Fatal Accident . —On the morning of Thursday last , a most melancholy and fatal accident occurred at Barr Mill , in the parish of Beith . A boy named Noble Prentice , about thirteen years of age , had mounted a ladder to put a bell upon a wheel , though this was no part of his duty , and boys had been strictly prohibited by the proprietor frem doing so . In an instant he was seized by the machinery , and his body mangled in a mo 3 C shocking manner . His arm 3 wore torn from the trnnk , and his head completel y severed from his body . As no eye was upon him when the accident happened , it is not known how it originated . The breaking of the bell and the crash of the body were the first intimations of the melancholy event to those who were in the room . Tha wheel revolves about thrice in a second , and consequently his death must have been instantaneous . Bis widowed mother was at tho time
working in another room , and her agony at the sight , and while assisting in collecting tke bleeding and quivering members of the booty of her son , may easily be imagined . The remains were committed to the grave the same evening . —Ayr Observer . The Late Mr . Bibby op Liverpool . —Investiqation at KiRKDAtB . —Shortly after twelve o ' clock on Friday , Henry Simpson and William Radci-ffe were brought up in custody at Kirkdale Court-house , on a oharge of having been concerned in the murder of the late Mr . Bibby , who , it will be r > collected , was found dead in a pit near Bootle , on the morning
of the 18 th of July , 1840 , under oircumstances of a mysterious character , and which gave rise to a suspicion that he had been unfairly dealt with . Simpson , who is a yonng man of respectful demeanour , was the individual who drove the unfortunate gentlemen from rhe Royal Bank in that town to Bootle on the night of tho faral occurrence , and Radcliffe had been a policeman , on duty on that night in the vicinity of the scene . After a long and patient investigation into all the circumstances of the case , the mag 53 tt ;\ tf a came to the decision that rhere did not appear sufficient evidence to justify them in committing the prisoners , who were forthwith discharged .
Frightful Explosion . —Between three and four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon last the inhabitants of West Collingwood were thrown into great consternation by a loud explosion . It was quickly ascertained that the explosion had occurred at the residence of a man named Pinner , a manufacturer of fireworks , and the first object that presented itself to the oersons who ran to tho spot was the lifeless body of Pinner , Iving amidst a quantity of bricks , shattered pieoes of of wood , &c , whilst the entire of the upper story of the house was completely carrried away . The body of an old man , an assistant to Pinner , was likewise found shockingly disfigured lying at tho back of the premises . No signs of lifo wero perceivable in Pinner or the old man . On proceeding up the stairs of the house , the lower part , extending
to the floor of the second story , which was left standing uninjured , it was discovered that every vestige of the roof , walla , and tho various articles winch had been in tho upper room , had entirely desappeared . Jambed against the lower part of the wall of tho first story , and near tho top of the stairs , was the body of alad , a « ed fourteen , with the features dreadfully di-figured and the body bhekened and mutilated . From the statement of an elderly woman who was engaged by Pinner to superintend his domestic affairs , it appears that a large quaatity of gunpowder had lately been placed in the upper room for the purpose of making fireworks for the fifth of November , but ia what manner the explosion was caused remains a mystery . Several windows in the neighbouring houses were smashed in , and a number of chimneypots thrown down by the explosion .
Miraculous Escape . —A mo 3 t alarmiaa accident occurred a few evenings ago oo tho Brandling Junction Railway—a whole passenger train having been thrown off the line , and the carriages tumbled topsyturvy over an embankment eij < ht or nine feet high , and yet the passengers , of whom there were between forty and fifty , escaped without having sustained tho slightest injury . The particulars of this occurrence are briefly the 3 & : —The seven o ' clock train from Sunderiand to Newcastle started as usual , and peoceeded to near where the railway orosses Clea ^ ODlanc , where the engineer felt somo slight interruption and immediately turned off the steam . The train was then moving at the rate of about fifteen miles an hour . The sonBation was but momentary , but the
direction of the engine w& 3 suddenly changed , it having left the line , and wa 8 approRohmg diagonally the erfge of a feari ' ui precipice , formed by the embankment of the railway , about eight or nine feet in height . The engineer and his assistant maintained their positions on the engine with the greatest composure , which in the end proved most , fortunate , for had they leaped off they would , in all probability , have lost their lives . Ou the engine went , followed by its tender , over the embankment , through a qnickset hedge at the bottom , into the adjoining field , and was finally brought to a stand-still several yards from the railway . The engine maintained its erect position the whole time , and sustained no injury , with the exception of the pipe which carries the
water from ihe tender to the boiler , and which was broken asunder . The engine-ma ^ instantly opened the safety-valve , to allow the escape of tho steam , and then descended from hi 3 perilous position . In the meantime , the most heartrending cries were heard froai the carriages , which were thrown together in a state of indescribable confusion . There were five carriages , two of them being first-class and three sercnd-clas . * , attacr . ed to the engine . Fortunatly , the connecting rod between the tender and the first carriage broke , end thus separated the eugiue from the train . The first carriage remained upon the line ; the next , being di ?? r , v / red from its companions , was thrown over the embankment ; the ntxt . a first-class carriage , was crushed sgainst the following one , and all the others w < -re partially overturned , some of them having been thrown over the embankment
against which th = y rested obliqely at the bottom . The scene at this moment was horryfying in the extreme . Some of the pssseiigers were escaping by the windows ¦ which were uppermost : others crept below ; men , women , and children were seen scrambling over , round , and brneath the vehicles , anxious to secure their own safety . On proceeding a few yards down the line , the cause of the accident was soon discerned . There lay the mutilated remains of a horse , which had evidently strayed upon the line from one of the adjoining fields . It was cut completely in pieces . Intelligence of the catastrophe was boou conveyed to the next nation , and ul ^ o to Suniieriand , ana a > si ~ tince was instantly despatched . Happily , medical aid was not required . The engine una carriages did no injury to the way , and the eight o ' clock train traversed it as though nothing had
occurred . A Delicate affair in High Lipe . —A noble Prince lias Ions been attached to rho e ^ ie ^ t daughter oi' a Noble Duke , whose family , on one side , claims certain consanguinity with that of the Sovereign . The resulc of the mutual passion existing on the part of the Prince and the lady , rentiers an atonement by marriage now absolutely neceasary . The lady is in a way to becmc a niothir , and , in the short sp 3 Cf of three months , will enjoy the blessings , or feel the pant . s , of maternity . Her Ladyship's situation is , of course , now unable to be any longer concealed ; and her father has communicated with the Prince ' s father npon the subject . His Royal Highness ? ramediutaW assented to the necessity of an union beand the Prince
tween his son and the Noble Lady ; himself is anxious to make the reparation wbirh lies in his power . But , according to the terma of the Royal MiTisse Act , which was passed in the time of George II I , no member of tho Royal Family can espouse auy one wi ' . hout the previously-obtained consent of t " h- ? Sovereign . Were the Prince and tho Lady in question to be united wi'hout * ucb consent , the " marriage would be illegal , and the offspring thereof iJJi-giiimate . The Queen has , therefore , been applied to , in the present emergency ; and Her Majesty has , vre learn , refused her sanction to the union ; and all attempts to induce her to alter her decision are vain . Her Majesty ' s consent is not alone sufficient ; that of the Privy Council must also be obtained , after a year ' s notice formally given . Her Majesty ( or her Privy Council ) argues thus : — It is possible my children may die ; ( hen comes the King of Hanover , who is very old ; after
him , Prince George of Hanover , who is very sickly ; next the Duke of Sussex ; aud then the Duke of Cambridge . Now , if all these events were to happen , the Prince alluded to woald stand an excellent chance of assuming the sceptre also . In tbiB caso , a subject becomes the Queen of England , should the Prince at present espouse the lady , and such a contingency , however remote and improbable it may appear , must not be allowed to exiBt . " So , we hew , reasons the Queec ; and we should suppose her decision is also backed by the advice of at least some of her Ministers and advisers ; we say " some , " because we can state , upen authority , that the Duke of Wellington is in favour of the ui'ion . Surely this young Prince , who is so ready to make atcntmciit tor the injury he has inflicted npon a too confiding girl , should bo allowed the full and free exvrcise of his most honourable and praiseworthy sentiments and intentions , aud abandon his right to the succebiior . He might even do this by professing to be a Roman Catholic .

On her return home at half-past ten o ' clock she found the infant and one of her sisters Bitting before the fire , tho former muoh burnt about the head , and the other child informed her mother that Sarah ( tho eldest child ) wus dead , and lying np ia tand
tho garre , on the poor creature going up stairs she was horror-struck at finding the remains of the poor girl burnt to a cinder , lying on a bundle of rags . Search was made for the other two children , who were found unhurt in an out-bouse in the garden . From the statement of the second child it appears that the deceased was in the act of putting a saucepan on the fire , when her clothes caught fire , and in au instant she was in au entire blaze . That sho made for the garret stairs , where she sat until the whole of her clothes were burnt off , and then crawled to the bed , on which she was found as above described .
Cdrious Coincidence . —Law !—A proof of tho 11 glorious uncertainty of the law" was shown at the last quarter ' . sesB'ons for the county of Dorset . Two men were indicted jointly for a felony ; upon being called u >> to plead guilty or not guilty , one of them pleaded " guilty , " and the other " not guilty . " At that moment an attorney stepped up to tho pri soner who pleaded guilty , and told him he was employed to defend him ; the prisoner then withdrew his plea of guilty , and pleaded not guilty . The trial proceeded , and at the oloso the jury acquitted the one who had at first pleaded guilty , and convicted the other who had pleaded not guilty . —Sherborne Journal .
Mutiny in Newcastle Gaol- —It appears that above thirty soldioi-d of ihe 61 st Regiment , who are prisoners iu Newcastle ) Gaol , having been oouvicted by court martial for various military offences , and sentenced to different periods of imprisonment , broke out into ooeu mutiuygand refused to work , alleging that the food was so bad that they were hungering . Several of tho magistrates went to the gaol for the purpose of investigating the circumstances , the result of which will , no doubt , bo satisfactory . — Newcastle Journal . On the arrival of the Elk engine at Nine Elms , on Tuesday night , with the six o ' clock train from Southampton , a lark was found in the ash-pan ( vsri thin six inches of the iiro-bars ) . which had received no further injury from this novel species of bird-trap than tho singing of a few taii -feathers . It \ s now in the possession of the engine-driver , and appears quito lively .
At thb late Rumford Quarter Sessions , the magistrate had occasion to desire a policeman to futch into tho court "two tk . drafs . " The man , a fine specimen of the animal for which Essex is so famous , instead of going to the bank , took the note to a chemist ' s , and returned into oeurt with alack draughts , which the worthy magistrate took ( into his hand ) , amidst a roar of laughter from the bench . A Liberal Nobleman . —Cashiobiiry House , with Hb parks and gardens , has been open to the public every Monday and Thursday throughout the year for many years past . The hours of admission to the house and gardens aro from eleven to one in
the morning , and from two to five in tho afternoon . Admittance to ihe park is free at all times . These regulations were established by the ' late Earl of Essex , who wa 9 delighted that the public should thus share in the enjoymont of ( his estate and possessions . Wo have heard that ho even lent his plate to the pic-mo parties who frequented the Swiss Cottage in the ; grounds , until Pomo ono repaid his generosity by dishonesty . Still the public are allowed to use this cottage for the same purpose : many picnic parties consequently come off here , and ? ans tilled with vsitors from the metropolis come to Cashiobury . —At ^ anaum .
NORTHLEACH Ho . USB OF CoRRECTIOM . —Tho followiug reply from Sir James Grah . ira has been recoived to the memorial addressed to him as Secretary of Swto by tho Jury npon the late unfortunate sufferer Beale : — " Whitehall , Oct . 27 , 1842 . " Sir , —I am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of tho 25 ' , h instant , enclosing a memorial from the inquest Jury which sat on tho body of Charles Beale , late a prisoner in Northleach House , ot Correction , and to acquaint you that before he received your communication , he had taken measures for having a full inquiry made into the matters to whtch yoar letter refers .

" The Late Attempted Murder in Dundee . — Wo understand thai Jam 6 sDuff , th" unfortunate sufferer in the lato diobolioal deed , his steadily iraproved for some days back , and that hopes are now entertained of his recovery . He still lies in the cottage where he fir .-t found a shelter , and was able on Saturday to bo taken from bed a few minutes * to allow it to be made up . During the last weok Mackenzie was examined by the authorities , aud aa
the precognition is not yet oJoard , it is not trae , as reported in other papers , that hu has been committed for trial . Another report haa got afloat , that Mackenzie's wife gave premature birth to a child , and is since der . d . Thero ia no truth in this report either . The pi-t"l has not y < t been rocove-ed .

Fatal Shipwreck — It ia our painful duty to record the total loss of the schooner Friends , of Carlisle , with all hands on b&ard . The Friends sailed from Port Carlisle for Liverpool on Friday , the 2 lst hist ., lad . n with alabastr-r , with a crew of four hands . Thero was a stiff bmz ^ blowing at the time from N . N . E . Towards midnight the wind veered round to the westward , blowing a complete hurricane , and in endcavonring to return up the Solway Firth tho i ! l-fatod vesnol struck upon Robin Higg , and in a short timo became a total wreck . The master of the vessel , Captain Baxter , jvasLighiy esteemed among a wide circle of friends and acquaintances on both hides of llie border , and tho sympathy expressed on the loss of . « o good a mm is well worthy the occasion .

Dreadful Collision at Sea . —A letter from Capt . Jatnes Codraan , Jan ., of the ship Sarah Parker , at New York from Singapore , to tbe owno'Bin this city , tells the following fearful story : —* ' The collision took pUco on the iSchof September , in lat . 14 17 N ., long ., 49 02 W ., during the night , in one of those tremeuduous equalls 1 which happen in the variables . The ship was £ oin # about ten knots at the i \ mo , and the darkness &o great that I could not see tho brig at the instant of atrking , though I had been looking to leeward but an instant before , and was then standing by tho main rigging , ' and-all the watch at stations , to clue down the fore and main topsails , if necessary . I had already clewed down the mizen topsiil , tho squali being very violent from W . by S .,
and ihe ship steering N . N . W . Tho brig must have been goin ^ very rapidly als . ) . She showed no light , and 1 think had not the . ra . in made it eo Egyptian dark , they mi «; ht have SQf n ours , which is constantly burning iu the night , and shines from the deck-house windows . Poar fellows ! they mu-t have sunk , as tbey wero seen , very near about twenty minuteB after , and at daylight nothing couid bo seen , though we lay by , and it became nearly calm eoon after losing eight of the brig . I could render no assistance , as we had to strain every nerve to keep sfloat , which we only accomplished by the quiet , and at the same time energetic , behaviour of tbe men , who kept their stations
and obeyed my orders with as little confusion « s it we were practising evolutions for amusement , and after getting clear , as I have Baid above , worked well and quick . Much credit is due to the chief officer and carpenter ( in fact they are both carpenters ) for their indefatigable exertions in repairing , as well as to all hands , for in thirty-six hours we had eighteen new timbers in and three etreaka planked up and chimed , and made somo sail on our course with a light breez . * . It was , however , a long tirao before tho ship was Rafo from bad weather , as evory beam , timber , and knee , and breasthook and deck piank forward of the foieBwifier was stove . "—Boston A ths .

T ! . o enacimeuu , ' wlauh amount to fifteen , aro framed for tha purpose of enabling denture to bo relieved from clio-r < iifiioulties without the necessity of . previously going to prison . Singular Act of Self-Mutilation . —A most extraordinary and determined act was committed in Worcester gaol oa Wednesday , by a man named James Finoher , who had been apprehended as a deserter , and lodged in the prison to await the determination of his caso . While so confined ho
contrived to possess himself cf a piece of iron-hoop , which he had notched so aa to make it answer roughly the purposes of a saw , and with this rude instrument he succeeded in sawing off the thumb of his right hand , between the nail and the fir .-t joint , the separation of skin , flesh , and bone bning effected in the most complete manner . His obj- ct . is easily accounted for- —viz ., the disabling of himself for future service . He deserted from the Grenadier Guards twelve or thirteen years since , and was apprehended a few days ago .
The Arabian Nights Revived . —Tha H * ro of Caen tells , in all gravity , tke following outrageously absurd story : — " One of the most celebrated shots of Caen having for several days beat the country rouad without putting up any game , thought he would try by the sea-side , in the neighbourhood . oiOuinreham . As he was crossing the river Orne in a srna . il boat , he saw two birds flying towards him , and , with Jus usual promptitude and certainty of aim , fired his gun , and one bird dropped into the river . While the sportsman was direc . ing tho boat towards it , the other bird alighted close to its dead companion , and , would have soon suffered the game fate , had it not
risen again , and come and alighted upon the gunner ' s shoulders , and suffered itself to be taken by the hand . This was sufficiently surprising ; but how much greater was his astoHishment when he found them to be a pair of doves , each having a ring round its lie ok , set with diamonds , and having engraved on it , 'Ale . Vic . and Al . 1840 , ' and a heart pierced with two darts . Whence camo this pair 1 Can the letters mean anything else than Alexandrina Victoria and Albort , and did not the birds belong to the Qioenof England t Time may tell , bub this is our opinion , which is confirmed by the value of the diamonds , for which & jeweller at Catn has , it is said , offered £ 12 , 000 .
To Mr. Patrick Rafter, Of The Irish Universal Suffrage Association.
TO MR . PATRICK RAFTER , OF THE IRISH UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION .
LETTER II . "It is a scandal for a true Briton to drag two chains at once . ' —Swift . Dear Rafter , —It has been the policy of our rulers , Whigs or Tories , to endeavour to make us believe that we can fckip about best in a light pair of fetters ! aud for this purpose the faction out of power have n 8 ver failed to impress us with tho beHef that theirs is always the lightest ; but why the people should wear thtm at all is a question which both agree they should
never even discuss In this assumption of the Whigs and Tories of oatae there is not a particle of honesty , justice , or common sense ; but with their assumption there is what is much worse than mere assumptionpower ! ra ' nd , despotic power is their only argument ! ! stroDg walls uad cold irons their proofs , in which their unhappy victims are compelled to drag ont a silent , unwilling , dying acqniesctnee ; and yet , O God of Justice , there are uitvi laying claim , almost to the Divine beatitudes , who can calmly sit empurpled on tho judgment seat , and laud and order compliance to this blood-suoking system .
I told you . in my test , I believed the object of the ruling faction was to 6 eiE 3 en all the leaders of the Chartist movement . Alas ! since then , the sound of unjust judgmont has been held over miny a good man ' a bead ; and the police have actually been premature in doffing their white trousers this season , their masters knowing ( I preauine ) tbey had so much dirty work te do . The Whigs no doubt are glad of all this , and silently rejoice at the arrests —but shall we like them the mere for thair base joy ? Of them -wo know that they set the example to the Tories ; and
that the latttr are doing no more than they have done . I hate the Whigs the more for their rascally silence ; and I believe thay are doing , at this moment , more injury to the causa by intrigue than ever tho Tovies would stoop to do . The policy cf the Whigs has ever been marked by duplicity , low cunning , false-premising , and petty devices ; inconstant in their every move , grovelling , and mean in seeking for power . The English Whigs would hang the Jrish people to abtain pewer ; and tha Irish Whigs -would shoot the English people to keep it
I hate a Tory ! the very name Is a firebrand , by tho false light of which I can look back through the long night of my country ' s dark gloom , and bohold the spirits of her " havpiet dead " rtjuiciug over the expiring embers of pitch caps and fuggots ! but a YVbi # I a treacherous Whig J the EDglish language does not convey to me another word so loathing . If I were asked to give name to an object with bod i of the caruelion , head of the serpent , hind feet of tho ox , wilh eyes of the basilisk , displujing th 6 trtsaeheteTiB smile o ? the coqufctte , antV haviug all the cunning of the fes , i would exclaim that loathsome object ia like nothing ou ear til but a Whig . ' Call it 1 Whig ? It would not be difficult to trace in . the Srat founders of society , the lineaments of our modern
Whigs . Mao clings with tenacious adhesion to any object or system which he conceives will assist iu protecting him from the attacks of a stronger power than himself . A single illustration from Holy Writ wiil sufficiently show this . Wo aue Adam , in bis denuded state , shield himself with the trees from the fnea of Almighty God ; in liko manner have the early tribes of his children thrown themselves under what tbey conceived to be the protecting shades of civil Governments , which by degrees became more insolent , uioie oppressive , more tyrannic , aad more greater evils tuan those which lh <; y wi / ra formed to correct , till finally , by innumerable encroachments on the purple ' s liberties , tbey , too , like the archdemuns of Lueiiur iu the realms of the Most High ,
conceived the daring project of dethroning the power that brought them into exiateuc *; ! These , I think , you will readily admit , were the Wh ^ s of earl y growth , and little did tbey differ from the crop that has been recently cut . If tha Whigs wore sincere ir . their professions to anjfeliorate the condition of the people , why do they not give the people tte chance to exclaim" Wall , bad as the men were when iu power , they do not uttempt to sttng no ?/ that they are powerless . They sympathise with the persecuted , and they aid ua ugainst the persecutor ; they hold public meetiugSj and they raise subscriptions for the defence of the victims of their own avowed principles . " Did they do this , then might their professions of patriotism go baud in hand with their acts of philanthropy—then might thuy
go a great length in disarming those who s \ jow up their lascality . But no ! the hypocritical fellows ! they would first imprison und transport all the good and true , buy over ah tho shams , and then , '¦ with sleek raoes , led on by some broad-bniuisaad fkiend , ( wfeom they would manage to make th 9 ir dupe , ) come umo . gst the people , like the Pharisees of , old , declaring that they knew the laws better than others ! and , of C / ur . se , were more tit to become their leaders , as tUey knew what would answer them better than they knew themselves 1 These wist * legislators then having got fairly before the peopio , by first adopting all thbir Six Points , would commence a tiiado against the plans cf the ola leaders . and by piecjiueal would break up the preaeut orjjnn-Jaation ; tho confidence of the people thus partial '}
obtained , and their organisation rendered powerless , the money-grubbing scheme wouid commence , nr . d uue hundred aMuirays , Smiths , and Aciands would be pent about sowing tbu beautiful Indian corn seed ; than would some big O or some tihani-leader of the Ulster-K-tdii-altt , ( by-thobye , what has become of tho Ulster A .-sooi . 'Uion ? I suppose you will answer , ask Rochdale ?) l > i « wilh confidence , stand aiid exclaim , " Well , gentkium , you know me long and well ; have I ever deceived you ? ( The paid c . acka woutd shout ,. •? No , never . ") I have been a long time battling for you ( you have ); and is there one man here the worse for taking my advice ? ( uot one . ) I gained emancipation for Ireland , and , with the blessing of God , I wil ; make England the envy of surrounding nations . ( Indeed
yoa wul . y We mubt QWide uw aountry into equtu districts , and appoint collectors . Every shilling will be a uuii iu the coffin of the Tories . We must appoint a managing committee of tweivs the payment of £ 5 to constitute a committee man , aud here to begin with his £ 20 as a subscription of myself ami my three sons —Ibravo , bravo ; is ' nt that liberal ? who can doubt his sincerity)—but , gentlemen , before- I conclude I nsuut give notice of a motion for ntst week , relative to the People ' s Chatter . It is downright folly to look for impracticabilities ; you know I always said Universal Suffrage was nonaenBO . We must seek for the greatest practicable extension of the Suffrage , and aa for Annual Parliaments , it wouid create , too much inconvdnienoe . I think Triennial Parliaments muoh more adapted to tho present times , but I like the Ballet , the honest Ballot—ihe'B a Briton every inch of hi : n)—and as for Payment of Meiab-ia , you all kuuw L never wa& against
being paid —( not you)—cor did I ever work for nothing —( never )—nor never will —( devil doubt jou ) . I waa always for the instalment principle , and I agree with Snarman Crawford , that the Repeal Question ought not to be mixed up with the Peopled Charter . Repeal should bide its time , it was forced on me once by Feargus O'Connor , prematurely , and what did we gain by it f one solitary vote . We shall never offend our cause with a vote again —( shouts of never , never ) . Gentlemen , I now conclude by giving notice of luy motion , and by banding in £ 10 more as the subscriptions of Joseph Home and John Arthur Roebuck , and I beg to iBove that the latter gentleman be appointed as the legal director of this association , and that all monieB be forwarded to the Central Buari at the Corn Exchange , Dublin . " This is the true picture cf then political pedlars ; but we are not all imprisoned yet . We may yet astonish them by playiag at " one do wn and another come ou . "
Some fellow accused me once of having a knowledgo of a plot , aud I now take this opportunity of disclosing it to you ; you may guess at the ector 3 , though their name i » leglou ; fuere beiuij scarcely a town in England that they Have not t ! ieir scouts to tall " how the cut jumps ; " but as every bad system carries with it the means of its own destruction , so it wiil be with tho

Of all tho goodly nostrnros tbat th ? y have of late years submitted to the public for the rvmoval of the national inaia ^ y <> f distress and wretchedness that pervades tho laud , R-jd which , like the canker worm , ia ever gnawing on the vitals of noeiety . what one single measure bave tbev carried out tending to Btem the torrent of public discontent ? Do we sot still bt-hold tbe disease of the body politic increasing rapidly ? ita numerous brani hes » loppin ? off daily without relieving the unfortunate , patients from the withering consumption that bttfeia ifci palid and decaying carcwe ? I am aware that extremes ia every cas * should he carefully avoided ; but when a patient has submitted to be physicked and dragged and bled by quack * , as well aa by some of the ablest of the political faculty , without the slightest apparent symptoms of renewed health and vigour , but that on the contrary , he becomes worse and worse eveTy day , it is high time that one bold atragcJe for national redemption should take place , that
we should not tamely see ou * country go down to her grave without applying some elixir magnnm that would either kill or cure ! Tbat we believe to be the People ' s Charter ; tkat we have set our hearts upon ; and thai we will have , else the dungeons will havo us to suffocation . Tyrants may break the spirits of men who know their rights ; but they enn never make them bad j they may sacrifice a Hoffer , but a Tell will arise ; they may kill a CJaytcn and a Holberry , but vengeance will be sworn over their martyred bodies ; they may imprison a White and m Cooper , but they will not long linger without companions ; they may transport a Front and an Ellia , but the indignant spirits of those who remember their worth and are still left behind cannot bo pent up in their house of clay ! Neither tha bludgeon of the blue coat , nor the eabre of the red coat can suppress the spirit of freedom ; nor has ever the blood of martyred innocents been abio to quench the holy fiime when once kindled in the bosom * of a determined people .
Malthus bus said , " That if a country can only be rich by running a successful race for low wages , he should be disposed to say , perish such riches . " So « ay I : and thus far I am a Maltbusiau . Here we behold a successful race has been won for low wages ; and here I pause to exclaim . " perish such riches ! " Riches accumulated by the low w&g 68 of starving millions ! riches accumulated for the sumptuous gluttony of the haughty few ! riches sprinkled with the tears and blood of hungry innocents and famishing serfs ! riches piled
together for —¦ : —! But 'tis no wonder there should be famine in the land when so much of the people's substance is taken away for the use of palaces and churches !! £ 737 , 140 . 883 , according to the uucontradicted statement of Mi ' . Maqueen ; yet with all these vast eums of money passing annually through the people's bands , are there not thousands daily who cannot procure one substantial meal ? yea , there have been instances knowa of some families , consisting of five and six persons , sitting down to a day ' s repast bavins to
divide , or rather subdivide , their whole fare , consisting of seven or eight potatoes I Nature , nor Nature ' s God , has not decreed that there should be such a pie * poadorance of riches on the one hand , and such wretched destitution on the other . Oh . how will a Norbury , a Jeffries , or an Abinger plead before the Father of the Poor and the Afflicted on the awful day of retribution ? But the monster-arm of oppression does uot even stop here , but is stretched forth even before tbe dead body of its departed victim ! and the bowe ! s of the earth , the natural and rightful claimants of its kindred , is made to refuse a pnssnge to
