      AN ODE TO LIBERTY . Dear theme on which my muse delights to dwell , Again my lowly harp shall speak thy praise , Inspire my soul with fervid truth to tell The JDys that lire in thy fair works and ways . Let not the proud despise my humble lays , ^ or spurn their subject with contemptuous scorn , Let not the poor forget that . thy bright rays , Are dfzz ' . ing in the sun ' teams of the morn ; Oh ! glorious liberty , thy prototype is born In eTery insect that disports in air ; The wind th 3 t waves the fluids of yellow com , Both on its wings the god-like spirit bear j Thy voice is in the roaring of the storm , Thy force is in the dash of ocean ' s waves , Thy mil 4 , but mighty , pure celestial form

      Fills high with hope the souls of snffcring slaves . The simple flowers that deck the pariots' graves , The lark that sinr 8 melodious in his flight , Tha limpid stream whoss lucid -water laves The daisy banks , and makes them green and bright ; A thousand choristers in dell and grsve , On moor ' , and mountain , and in ehady woods , The busy bees that throngh the meadows rove , And myriad fishes in the mighty floods ; The eagle towering o ' er the rocky steep , The wi d bird tkimmicg o ' er the broad blue sea , The rash of winds that o ' er the waters sweep ,

      And sounds that fill the beauteous world with glee The playful lambs that bask in sun and shade , The savage beasts that roam the forests tree , All great and glorious things that God hath made Are emblems , dearest Liberty , of thee . Ye sor . a of men , when will your injured race Return to purity and universal peace ? When shall the pomp and pageantry of place , And all the clashing elements of party cease ? T 7 ben shall the mental blindness of the soul , By truth enlightened , atd by knowledge taught , Resolve to free itself frem that control , With which the kingdoms or the eartk are fraught "TTnen will mankind embrace the just aiid true , By acting on the proverb , old and wi 3 e—11 To others do as ye'd Ve dose unto ;"'

      And eBYicus thoughts and evil deeds despise ? When thEse things come , and come they surely will , for man by nature is humane and good , He "will not ever quarrel , maim , and kill , And make a trade of shedding human blood . When wisdom ' s blessings , holy , ^ ure , sublime , Axe shower'd upon the nations of the earth , Then the long-hop'd for , fervid pray'd for time Shall come , and freedom wake again to birth . Hail wish'd for time ! Hail holy freedom ' s reign . ' Slaves ef the earth bow ye before the shrine ; Let all your voices swell tee giarioua strain In praise of love and liberty divine .

      CARI » ISI > E . —The Mwxicipal ^ ELEcnoxs . — The annual municipal elections for this borough , to supply the vacancies caused by the retiring members , passed over with comparative quiet , and but Blight opposition , except in one or two wardB , where an attempt was made to oust the popular candidates , but without effect . The members returned , for the different wards , are all Liberals , which signifies , by the common newspaper acceptation—Whigs ; indeed , the Tories here have never offered the least opposition to the Whig party , of which the . present corporate body is principally composed . The Tories might , we believe , were they so inclined , return membeM for one or two of Ae wards ; bat were they doing so , they are fully aware that their weight in the present corporate body would be comparatively light , and of little or no avail . If the return of members to serve in the Town Council , is to be made

      & political questioD , then we should say that the Chartist body have been very remiss in . the performance of their duvj , for they h&venevei , with one exception in iJotcher ^ ate ward , looked after the franchise . In this ward , several attempts have been made to disfranchise the most liberal portion of ihe burgesses , and had it not been for the praiseworthy exertions of several individuals , and the pecuniary aid of others , the burgess list would have b » en so seriously cnnaUed , as to have allowed the Whig party to return who they might have thought proper , The point established by the burgesses in this ward is one of great and paramount importance to the country , and would , if generally acted upon , enable the Charti 3 t body to infuse a much more liberal spirit into the various corporate bodies throughout the country . The pemt to which we have alluded has been established by the two late mayors and assessors for this borough : and has

      enabled the Burgesses of the Ward to which we have alluded to place their name 3 mpon the register , in spite of the many and flagitious attempts to disfranchise them . The ground on which the attempts have been made to disfranchise a- great portion of the Bnrgesses is , that they are Dot bona fide rate-payer ? , and it ha 3 been contended that except they pay their rates directly , they have no right whatever to be placed upon the Burgess list . This ground of objection has , however , been overruled several times , and will not , we suspect , be again attempted . Why have not tbe Chartists in other Ward 3 of the town acted upon this decision » Because they hsve apathetically set at naught the privilege conferred upon them by the Legislature ,

      and considered its exercise of no material consequence . We will endeznur to convirce them of their error , by pointing ont the great importance which they ought to attach to the securing and proper exercise of the right which they possess . A question of verv great moment is now before the Town ; and for the careful consideration of which , a committee of the Council has been appointed to mate a report on the subject , whiohj i $ , "for the better supplying tbe town with water , and improving the sewerage . " Now , the Council have gone so far in this matter as to give instructions to tbe Town Clerk to give notice to Parliament of their intention to apply for an Act of Parliament on the subject ; and Eomo members of the Council

      haTe already contemplated tbe selling of portions of the corporation property , for the accomplishing of this , which they consider , laudable object , ihis conduct , to E&y tbe least of it , is rash and premature under present circumstances , for it is even ft question with maDy whether this plan , if carried into full and perfect operation , would either be profitable or beneficent to the town—at least , to the poorer portion of the inhabitants—more especially if a tax is to be imposed npon them for this purpose Under these circumstances , la it not absolutely necessary that discreet , deter , and , _ above

      * H , honest men , who pay a due aid leeljag regard to the condition of the work-£ « classes , —should be returned to the Town Council , and not men who only look at the lmprovettint of certain parts of the town , for their own and the benifit of the wealthy portions of the inhabitants , utterly regardless of the real interest and comfort of ; he poorer poriion 1 There is one important future connected with the question of water tau KWEiage , which ia , tbat Carlisle is particularly "well Enpplifcd with water already , aDd is one of the cleanest towns m England Ireland , or Scotland , McotdJEg to the population and the nature of the

      employment of the people generally , Vt , at the same time while we record this fact , we are not opposed to even a better supply of water , of a more wholesome kind ; and improvements in the sewerage , which would tend to the promotion of the health of the inhabitants at large , but more especially those situated in lower and more densely populated districts of the town . We have made these observations in a kind and friendly spirit , for we Bhould feel ashamed were we actuated by party feeling , to sanction measures which were not for the general improvement of the town , and the lightening of all local burthens . —Correspondent . . _ . - _ . .

      LEICESTER . Ikdependent Order or UxiTtD Brothers—A new secret order , under this title , has been established here , the chief characteristics of which are , that while as a body they make no pretention to " teetotalism , " their laws prohibit tbe use of intoxicating drinks at lodge meetings , and also the holding of thoBe meetings at pnblic hoases .

      GATEHOUSE-OZWEXEET . -The teetotalers here held their annual soiree on . Monday , the 30 th Octobsr , in the Town Hall , which was crowded to the door . Excellent addresses were delivered by several clergymen and others from a distance ; and the more to enliven the evening , several songs and recitations were given by members of the Bociety But tbe most interesting part of the business was the presentation of a splendid silver medal and chain , and a beautiful pair of embosssed pocket bibles , to Mr . John Djnaldson , from a number of his friends

      and admirers in the South of Scotland , a 3 a token of their esteem for his exertions in promoting teetotalism . They were presented bj Mr . Samuel Wallace , with an able and suitable address , and Mr . Donaldson returned thanks in a feeling and eloquent manner . Mr . Donaldson is presia ' ent of our Charter Association , and one to whom we are much indebted for bis exertions and advocacy in the cause of Chartism . Long may he live to enjoy the approbation of his friends , and to advocate the moral and political improvement of the human race .

      Fatal Collisions at Ska . —On Sunday afternoon last , the Caledonia steamer , from Hamburgh , arrived off Gravesend , having in tow a vessel called the Louisa , belonging to St . Petersburgh , which had been met with disabled , and no person on b ^ ard , while on the steamer ' s homeward passage , drifting about the German Ocean . The supposition entertain «< l hy thp P . » &r ! oriia . Vcrew upon coming up with the vessel was that she had been in collision , for her bnlwarks were stove in , and altogether she was seriously injured about the hull and rigging . Sinee then it has been ascertained that such was really the case . It happened on the night of the 39 th of last month , during a violent gale of wind from the S . W ., about Eeven m ; le 3 off the coast

      at Ordfordness , and the other vessel proved to be the Swedish brig Revanche , belonging to Marseilles The crew expecting the vessel would go down , jumped into tfee long boat and made for shore , which they succeeded in reaching in safety . They say they shortly lost sight of the vessel , from which they believed she had sunk . Tne value of the Louisa is reported to be at least 41 , 600 . Accounts have been received of the total loss of the bark Jackson , Cap tain Caitbmer , belonging to Dundee , which is said to have resulted in consequence of her cominc in collision with another vessel on the night of the 29 th of October , near the east coast of Gothland , while on her voyage from Liverpool to Dundee Her erew consisted of twelveindividuals , of whom five met with a watery grave , namely , the mate , two seamen , and two boys . The rest saved themselves by

      the chip's boat . On Friday las ' ., the 4 : h instant , a dreadful . collision occurred in the Channel , occasioned by the darkness of the night . It took place about eleven o ' clock , near the Skerries , between the Refoim , a schooner , from Tralee to Liverpool , and another schooner , name at present unknown . Such was ita violence , that the former commenced filling rapidly , and there was scarcely time for the crew to Eave themselves before she went down in sixteen fa ' . homs . water . She is insured for £ 300 . On the same day another schooner , named the Hope , was run down at the entrance of North Shields harbour by the Union , a brig belonging to that port . The latter was driven into the harbour under stress of weather , and it i 3 described to have been entirely accidental . There is some chance of her being raised if the weather moderates .

But he gets on very well without it , and leads a roving , gentlemanly , vagabond kind of life , Fomewhat answering to that of onr clubmen at home . He leaves his lodgings every morning at a certain hour , throws himself upon the town , gets through his day in some manner quite satisfactory to himself , and regularly appears at the door of hits own house again at night , like the mysterious master of Gil Bias .

      Attempted Mubdeb of a Father bt a Son . — Oa Thursoay morning a rumour , from tome circumstances , became prevalent that an attempt at murder bad been made by a lad of the name of Bradner , residing in the Water-gate npon his father , which induced the authorities to make investigation into the matter , the result of which was , that it was found necessary to commit him . From what we can learn of the matter the son had been for some time addicted to intemperate habits , and came homo to his father on Sunday morning , requesting some money from him . The father refused , and locked him up in a room to prevent him from going ont again ; bnt he got hold of a shoemaker ' s knife , by means of which he managed to » pen the door , and rushing upon his father drew it across his throat .. Fortunately , however , although' tlie wound itflicted was a very alaTBrng one , it was not such as to deprive him of life . Dr .

      ^ Mr , William Ho . ve , the well-known author of tnc Every-Day Ssok and other popular works died on Sunday last at his house in Grove-place , Tottenham , after a long illness cud much suffering , which he bore with the moat exemplary patience . In early life he was celebrated as one of the first satirical wrtt ^ rg of the day ; his " Political House that Jack built went through upwards of fifty editions , and it is said , thai by iilnstrating this and similar works the fame of George Cruikshank was first established . By putting one of his eatires into the form of the i / itur ^ y of the Church of England , he was prosecuted for blasphemy ; and his trial before Lord £ . JIenborough , which lasted three days , and in which he successfully defendod himself in person , with the greatest ability , may be considered one of the causes ceUbresot this country . When Dr . Stodart established the paper , now extinct , called the New Times ,

      Mr . Hone published an admirable burlesque of it , in the form of a newspaper , called the Slap at Slop , by which he gave a nickname to , and . effectually demolished , that very frothy and pompous person . Having abandoned his career as a satirist , he appeared iu later years as the editor of the Every-Day Book , the Year Book , and the Table-Book , three works , aJl on the same principle of giving antiquaria ; information in a popular form , and all exhibiting the indefatigable perseverance and research of Mr . Hone . The Every Day Book , in which the information given is connected with the days in the year , may be considered as a standard library book . Towards the close of hi 3 life , he became one of the conductors of the Patriot newspaper , and in this situation he continued till increasing infirmity , occasioned not so much by years as by the unremitting labours of his life , caused him to retire from every active pursuit .

      Melaj < cholt Catastrophe at Rufford . —It is onr melancholy duty this week to record an event which has caused some consternation in the neighbourhood in which it has unfortunately happened , and which ought to be the means of preventing others from pursuing a similar practice , which has brought two unfortunatefellow-creatures to an untimely grave . George Brookes , waggoner to the Right Hon . the Larl of Scarborough , aged thirty-eight , and Ann Brookes , his wife , aged thirty , resided in a cottage near the noblo Earl ' s mansion , at Rufford : and it appears that on Monday , the 24 th ult ., Ann Brookes had been white washing one of the bed-rooms upstairs , in which she and

      her husband usually slept , and in order to dry it soon , she placed an iron pan iu the room , into which she put some sticks , and set fire to them . This was during the day . At night , when they went to bed , they took the warming-pan up stairs to warm the bed ; and it ia Bupposed that either the woman or her husband , incautiously recruited the ember . * , and , shutting the door close , went to bed . About four o ' clock the next morning , Brookes not coming to look ifterhis horses as usual , ore of his fellow servants went and rappod at the door , and , supposing that would wake him , he went away , fivo o ' clock arrived , but still Brookes did not make his appearance ; on which his fellow-servant

      went again , and , kpowiug that there waa a boy sleeping in an adjoining chamber , he rapped until the boy got up , and ordered him to go and see if anything was the matter with George . The boy accordingly went and opened the chamber dosr , and , entering the room , was almost suffocated with the smell of sulphor . On looking towards the bed he was horrorstruck to find Brookes partly on the bed , but with his face on ihe iioor , surrounded by a pool of blood . He was quite dead and cold , and his wife waa laid in bed beside him a cold aud lifeless' corpse . Ho immediately opened the door , and the melancholy fact having been more fully ascerained , medical aid was immediately tent , for , but it was quite unavailing , the vital spark having evidently been extinot for some hours . —Nottingham Journal .

      History of Prime Ministers , from the Conquest to the Restoration . —To contemplate for some centuries the fate of the Ministers of England , who fell vicMms to the caprice of the Court , the corruption of the times , or their own treacherous conduct , may be a subject worthy of the philosopher , who penetrates into the causes and effects of human affairs . This may be deemed a curious article , and inapplicable in these days , every ciroumstance having been totally changed , and many of the grievances of which our ancestors eo jmtly complained , removed . In the perusal of this abridgment of history , we leave our readers to form a judgment of the following assertion , advanced by a philosopher of the sixteenth century , aa wise a politician as England ever produced , " That there never yet was a prime minister of Great Britain , but either broke his own neck , orhia master ' - , or both , unless he saved his own by the sacrifice of hia master ' s .

      hf > # n . a short time since , delivered of a female illeeitinaate child which was found dead . The circumstance appears to have been -kept so secret , that the neighbours who lived nearly adjoining , knew nothing of the occurrence tiil nearly a week afterwards ; then , in consequence of Miss Nudd being ia a very dangerous state , it became necessary to have medical advice , and a surgeon was sent for , who prescribed for her , but it appears male no particular inquiry as to the birth of the child , bat directed it to be sent to his surgery or house . The child was kept in a box for several daye , but the unfortunate young woman continuing to get worse , some little publicity waa given to the circumstance . About a week after this occurrence the uncle of Miss Nudd sent to Mr . Pilgrim , the county coroner , informing him of the death

      of a child , leaving him to use his own discretion as to any inquiry . The coroner , considering it his duty to have the matter thoroughly investigated , a jury was impannelled , and the surgeon was summoned to be in attendance . A long and tedious examination took place , tho coroner having found it necessary to adjourn the inquest three times . At the conclusion of the inquiry , they were unanimous in their verdict of" Wilful murder against Lmily Nudd , who destroyed her female illegitimate child by strangulation . " The coroner immediately issued his warrant for her committal to the county gaol , bat the unfortunate young woman is not at present in a state to be removed from her uncle ' s residence . The several witnesses were also bound over to appear and give evidence at the next assizes .

      Singular PLErGE . —We have just heard the following story , but cannot vouch for its truth . A young woman went into a pawnbroker ' s establishment , not many miles from Kilmarnock , the other day , with a basket containing a quanity of china , which she wished to pledge with " mine unsld" for £ 2 . After examining the contents of the basket , he gravely stated he could only advance the half of that sum . In reply to his statement sho said she waa a servant , and that the articles were tho property ef her mistress , whom she would require to consult before taking tho money . She therefore left the ofSce for that purpose , and in a short time returned with the basket , saying that her mistress would tako what was offered . ' Mine uncle" again glancod into tho depository of the precious ware , aud saw

      that it apparently contained the same goods that he formerly examined . The cash was then paid to tho woman , who immediately left the house , and the case was then carefully set aside . In a short time afterwards a feeble cry was heard by the broker issuing from the basket , which he again examined , and ia which , to his utter astonishment , he found a fine child carefully wrapt in flannel , and over which a slight coveriDg of china had been ingeniously placed for the purpose of deception . The pawnbroker , it is said , applied to the authorities for a nurse to the little pledge , but was told that , like other pledges , he was bound to keep it for twelve moLths , and if not redeemed at the end of that time , to bring it to the hammer , like other pawned property I "—Ayr Observer .

      Four Persons Poisoned at Guyhirn , near Wisbeach . —A very serious case of poisoning occurred on Sunday latt ; frem the evidence it appeared that a mau named W . Newbound , a shoemaker , his wite , a grandchild who was staying for a few weeks with him , and the daughter of a neighbour who lives iu the next house , sat down to a dinner composed of a piece of pork , with a pudding baked under it ; they had hardly finished eating the pudding be fora they were seized with violent vomiting . A messenger was immediately dispatched to Wisbeach for assistance , and Mr . Ollard , surgeon , was promptly in attendance ; he administered tbe necessary remedies , and left them apparently better . In the evening Mr . Ollard was again sent for to the mail and woman , they being much worse ; before ho arrived , the man had died , and the woman was in such a state as left no hope of her recovery ; she expired

      in great pain after tbe surgeon had left her . The time between the man ' s being first taken ill and his death was only eight hours : in the case of the woman it was twelve hours . The bodies were examined on Tuesdar , when the state of the stomachs left no doubt of their having taken some mineral poison , but what it consisted of remains for the chemist to prove , on the stomachs or their contents , together with the pudding that was left , being submitted to tests . A very respectable jury met at the Black Hart on Tuesday , aad at the close of the day ' s investigation only three witnesses had been examined . The inquest was adjourned until Thursday . There are rumours afluat of suspicions against parties , but we do not at present fael justified in sating namo 3 . By next week no doubt t ; ie inquest will be concluded . The children were very ill after the pudding , but are now out of danger . —Stamford Mercury .

Melancholy and Fatal Circumstance . —A very melancholy and fatal circumstance occurred ia our gaollast night . The facts are these :-Thia morning , at theasual hour , the turnkey of the felons ' oeJJ proceeded to that part of the prison for the purpose of unlocking the cells . Oh reaching the centre cell , at the entrance of whioh a stove is nlaoed .

      he was perfectly horror-struck to perceive three of the prisoners m a Btate of iHsensibility . Two of them were almost lifeless at the time they were discovered , and in a few minutes afterwards life was completely extinct . Their names are Wm . Sullivan ( under sentence of transportation for seven years ) , and Edm . Burke , charged with the robbery of Mr . Holmes ' a fii-o-arms , m the Glen of Aherlow . The third man , named Callagar , charged with a similar offence , still survives , and hopes are entertained of his recovery . It seems that this fatal occurrence waa caused by an aperture in the flue of the stove , in whioh stone coal was burning , and the deaths were caused by suffocation . We visited the cell at eleven o'clock

      this morning , and even at that time the smell was most offensive and suffocating . An inquest was held before Mr . W . Ryan , coroner , and after a patient investigation the following verdicc was retDrned : — "We find vthat the deceased , Edmund Burke and William Sullivan , came by their deaths from Buffoeation , by inhaling carbonic acid gas , which gas escaped from a tube leading from a stove ; and we beg to draw the attention of the Gaol Committee to the necessity of having the tube removed from its present position and put in a safe place .

      certain most malignant and injurious aspersions which have been circulated with more or loss explicitness upon the character of a lady of high rank and the conduct of a younger member of the Royal Family . We have ourselves scrupulously abstained from mentioning them , in the full belief that they were —what they hare turned out to be—simply false and scandalous . Nor should we now have noticed them excf pt to state that wo are authorised , on the very highest authority , to give these calumnies the fullest and most peremptory contradiction which language admits of . —Times of Saturday .

      Precautions to save Children from being BtKNKD . —At tin ' s season of the year it is truly painful to read the accounts which appear not only every week , bnt almost every day in the week , in the publio journals , of young children being burned to death These sad calamities are generally owing to the carelessness of mothers and servants leaving children not only without protectors , but in many instances actually locked in rooms where there are fires . Wherever this practice exists there must be the greatest dauger , owing to the natural fondness of children for playing with fire . The use of a simple wire guard would save many lives . Linen pinafores are much less liable to take fire than cotton ones . It

      ought also to be known that in case of the clothes of a child taking fire , the best means of extinguishing it is by throwing the child on the floor , and wrapping it in blanket or woollen cloth of any kind . Ae long as the child is in an upright position the flames from the clothes burn fiercely , as their natural tendency is towards tho head ; and , consequently , if the child be laid down , the flames will instantly become feebler , and be much moro easily extinguished . To smother the fire by wrapping the child in u woollen cloth , is a much quicker and safer mode than by tearing the clothes off piecemeal . After a burn no application is better than a plentiful sprinkling of flour .

      The Poor Laws in Ireland . — A Bankrupt Union . —A notification appears in the Cork Reporter froin the guardians of the Middleton Union , declaring themselves unable aDy longer to carry on the affairs of the institution for the absolute want of funds . " In fact , " remarks the Reporter , they have virtually gazetted the union , and left the workhouse in the hands of the master to do the best he can with the paupers that are in it . This is really a sad state of things ; but it is only what we anticipate in many other unions , where the intolerable pressure of taxation is already felt ro severely that the ra * . e-payer . s will , in all probability , bo driven to follow tho example of their brethren in a particular district of the Kilmallook Union some months ago ,

      who having only a very small number of paupers in the workhouse from their eleotoral division rose en masse and carried them away , declaring they would make arrangements to support them among them-Helves , and not be burdened with any port ion of the general taxation , / low this very bold aud decisive proceeding terminated wo are not aware ; but we shall watoh any proceedings that may result from the resolution of the Middleton guardians , inasmuch as we regard it as the first step taken by any such body calling imperatively on the commissioners and the Government to adopt such a course as will render tie operation of the law less difficult and encumbered than it has hitherto been found in every part of the country . "

      Wholesale Infanticide . —We have this week the painful duty of recording a case of Jong continued and inhuman depravity almost unparalleled in the annd ? of crime . It appears that a woman named Frances Benuet residing at Ruarden-hill , in the Forest of Dean , being very ill , and probably fearing to die with the undivulged guilt of murder npon her conscience , communicated to the Rev . H . Form by , curate of Ruarden , that about twelve months since -he became the mother of a child by a man named Thomas Yapp , with whom sho had been cohabiting for ab jut eight or ten years , which child , after it had lived a few dajs , sho destroyed by poisoning it ; after which she and Yapp buried it beneath the pavement of the brewhouse . The wretched woman

      further added , that she had been the mother of five other children by the same man . all of whom she had murdered at their birth , and with Yapp ' s assistance had buried their bodies at separate spots beneath the floor of the brewhouse and near a barn adjoining her cottage . These horrid confessions seemed , frem their unexampled atrooity , to be more like the ravings of delirium than truth ; but upon information being given to the police , and a search being made in the apots indicated by the unnatural woman , the skeletons of her six mnrdered offsprings were all found , and stamped truth upon a tale too horrid else for belief . Upon this , Yapp was taken into custody , and a policeman , wo believe , remained to take oharge of the woman , who repeated her confession

      to her sister , and afterwards to the polioeman , Fowler . The facts were intimated to Mr . J . Cook , and a warrant was issued for summoning a jury to hold an inquest . By this time , however , the woman Frances kSennet , had recovered in a measure the hardihood of her character ; and on the inquest , which was held on Tuesday last , she positively denied that &he had ever ftivoa birth to any children , except to two , which she bore to her late husband , and which were alive now ; and she strongly persisted that she had never made auy communioatioa such as that above stated , either to her sister , to the policeman Fowler , or to the clergyman , the Rev . Mr . Formby . Tbe latter gentleman was examined by the coroner , and deposed as above ; and he further admitted . that the woman had subsequently

      made further disclosures and confessions to him , but as they were made to him in his spiritual capacity , he must decline to divulge them . After , without effect , endeavouring to prevail upon Mr . Formby to state all that the woman had told him , and after unavailing remonstrances against the withholding of evidence , the Coroner left the p ) int as it stood , and passed on to the examination of tho sister of Frances Bennett , whose evidence was to the effect , that on Saturday last , the 29 th of October , she was with her sister , who had been in a weak state of health for some time , and had been confined to her bed for about a week ; that before Mr . Formby called , her Bister made an alarm , and exclaimed that she would have her dead children dug up and buried in the ohurohyard . She said that she , delivered herself of the children over

      a pan of water , and that immediately after the infants were born Bhe held them under tbe water till they were dead , and that then she and Yapp buried them . She added , that the last of tV e six children was not served in this way , but lived for two days ; that it was weakly , and she gave it eomeareenio , and it died ; that Yapp was very sorry when he fouad this child was dead , and said he would not have lost it for £ 50 ; and that they both together buried the child in the brewhouse . At this stage of the proceedings it was thought advisable to adjourn the inquiry , in order to afford opportunity for further and more deliberate inquiry into the cironmstances of this mysterious and very extraordinary case , and tbe inquest was accordingly adjourned till Wednesday , the 9 th in&t . — Gloucester Chronicle .

      HAvrr . —Accounts published in tho Kingston papers from Hayti asseit that President Boyer had issued . a proclamation calling in the ten doll , notes in circulation . Of hid ability to-pay thorn off grave doubts are expressed from the known low condition of the Treasury . The exchange was to be made at fifty per doubloon , but as the provisio exists that any person tendering lake notes ia to be severely puniahed , the whole proclamation is regarded with suspicion . It is alleged that this is adopted by the President as a pretext to dishearten parties bringing the notes forward , leat by the military dictum of the authorities they should be declared false—a declaration which would surely be followed by a confiscation of tEeir property . The admission is made that false notes have been introduced into circulation , but tince the President had at the time the full opportunity of

      suppressing them , and punishing tho importers , it is regarded as rigorous in the extreme to punish those who may happen to be innocent possessors . If the proposition simply went to impound the counterfeit paper , it could then be viewed in no otuer light than a salutary precaution , and would be open to no censure . Many of the merchants were doubtful as to the real intention of the President being au exchange for specie , and believed , on the oontrary that there would be a mere exehange for one dollar and two dollar notes . Commerce aud ail branches of industry are stated to be at a stand . As a proof of the incompetenoy of the Treasury to meet the drain of specie Which a bona fide calling in of tbe ten dollar notes would produce , its stock of hard dollars is estimated at 800 , 000 , out of which the pay of the military has also to be disbursed .

      Removal of the Stafford Convicts to ran Hulks . —In the notice which has appeared in the papers on this subject , there are some inaccuracies which we are requested to correct . As the following information is derived from the most authentic source , it may be safely relied upon : — " All the convicts sentenced to be transported without imprisonment have been removed to the hulk at Gosport—52 in number . Not me has had his sentence of transportation commuted to six months' imprisonment . There are hot any left in the prison for transportation for Beven years , except , two , who have received sentence of six months' imprisonment for another crime , and are afterwards to be transported . There is not any fouudation for presuming that any

      tranports vmlbe sent to the Modol Prison at Pentonville . Not any of tho convicts have their families of eight children , as the foliowins ; list will clearly show : — Wife and five children , throo ; wife and four children , five ; wife and three children , three ; wife and two children , six ; wife and one child , ei g ; wife aud not any children , one ; single twenty-six ; total fiftytwo . — "EveningStar . Desferate Outrage and Gallant Resistance . —At Ballygraigue , ia tha vicinity of this town , on the night of Monday , a number of men broke into the house of James and John Power . James , who was in the act of reading a religious book for hid infirm mother , had a pistol pointed at his head by a miscreant who swore that he would soon change his

      devotion , aud ordered him to go on his knees until he shot him . The young niau , notwithstanding the pistol being presented a-t him , spruug , lion- like , on his intended murderer , and wrung the pistol from his grasp , exclaiming , at the samu time , "That if he was to die , it would not bo on hia knees . " Two more ruffians rushed in to the rescue of their accomplice , beat Power to the ground , and deprived him of the pistol . John : Power m »\ v joined his brother , and having knocked down one of the fellows , v / ho who was trampling on his brother , a pistol was presented at him , with an execration that his brains would be blown out if he stirred a hand . Henry Power , who had been in bed , now came to the assistance of his brothers , armed with a shovel

      and cleaved the head of the ruffian who held the pistol ; the miscreant fell , and while down , he gave him three b 2 ows of the edjjeof the shovel . Seven or eight men broke into the house , every second man of fvhem was armed with a pistol ; the caudle being extinguished the conflict , becamo generai and desperate , and there can be no doubt but it was tho fear of shooting some of their own party , that prevented the discharge of tho pistols . Patrick Power , a young mai , upon whose sight the Lord was pleased to set the seal of darkness , groped out ; and seized one of the fellows by the throat , and would have choked him . had it not been that the wretched being cried out ior mercy ; and the young man , from a religious feeling , let the miscreant go unstrangled .

      So desperate was the resistance the Powers gave , that they cleared the kitchen of their assailants , and barred tbe door against them . While taking other measures to secure the place they heard a bustle in the room , and turning in they found that they had two of the fellows inside . Of those they determined to make prisoners , but they calling out , " 5 th Regiment , will you leave us to be murdered ! " the doors and windows were all smashed in with large stones ; the gang re-entered , and tho terrific struggle recommenced . The Powers fought for life and death , and owe their esoape to the number of their opponents , who in mauy instances beat each other in an unmerciful manner throngh mistake .

      It being understood by them that one of the women had escaped out of the house and was going to give the ala < m , they retreated , bearing one of their comrades almost lifeless on their shoulders , and leaving behind them a loaded pistol , with the lock broken off , two hats , and a clan-alpine . They were not long gone when the Billinaclough police and Ballygraigue boys , armed with pitchforks and other missiles , surrounded the house under the impression that the gang was inside ; but , on finding their disappointment , they scoured the country , but without any eff . ot . There were traces of blood round the haggard of the Powers ; and in one spot there was nearly the full of a basin , and the straw about it was saturated . —• A'eftov / A Guardian .

      power to comply with the application , aa the coximiasion for the trial of aU tbu prisoners in cuatoay at the time , including ONeil himsalf , waa than acnully opened . The same bail "which ha r i btwo previously refused were then tendered again , but Mr . Mauie , tbe 8 ulioit « ir of the Treasury , although he a « l ; uitied that tne peraona were otherwise not exceptionable , refua . d to consent to their being received upon the sole ground of their political opinions . The parties , however , having gone before Lord Chief Justice Tindal , were by that learned judge , admitted at once . Mr . Justice PaiteSON observed , thab ' upon-the statement of the learned counsel , there appa-ired to be no eyideuc of any corrupt motive having influenced the justices iu their conduct

      Mr Justice Patteson observed , that ho did not mean to state it as his opinion that the conduct of the marfstrat « g was ' at all proper in the circumstances . The question upon the present application waa not whether the justices were justified in what they had done , bat "whether they were so manifestly influenced by partial and corrupt motives as to be liable to the peculiar and extraordinary paoceeding of a crlmal information . Before he ( Mr . Juatico Patteson ) granted such a rule aa that which yraa now applied for , Be Diu ^ t he satisfied of the corrupt intentions and motives of the magistrates by such conclusive and satisfactory evidence as he could

      not perceive to exiat iu auy degree in tho present instance . The very thing which tbe magistrates bod done in the caceiu question had be « m formerly done in this court by a learned judge , who rejected a person who vm tendered as bail , and who was uno ^ j ctioable in reference to the necessary amount of pecuniary qualification , but who kept a gambling-bouse . That decision had , it was true , been subsequently overruled and set aside , and was manifestly incorrect ; but it bad never been supposed that the party who made it had rendered himself thereby liable to a criminal information .

      Mr . Erie observed , that his clients , in thoir affidavit , expressed their belief that the defendants were influenced by illegal , partial , and corrupt motives in refusing the bail . Mr . Justice Patteson observed , that the expressions of the deponents were laige enough in themselves , bat could have no influence on the Court unless they were support : d by the facts ot the case . From the statement it only appeared that the magistrates considered that the pecuniary sufficiency of the proposed bail waa not the only matter which they , the justices , ought to take into consideration ; bat that t . ty were also at liberty to act upon other grounds connvattd with tha character of tke proposed sureties .

      Mr . Erie said that , aa m general , it would not be supposed that pers «» as in the &ituati « n of O'Neil could procure bail from any other class of persons except those who sympathised with his political opinions , it would be a most- formidable doctrine to lay down that a justice of the peace m , iy refuse bail upon the ground of their political opinions being the same as those of the party for whom they proposed to become sureties . Mr . Erie submitted to his Lordship that there was a great difference between rejecting a maa as bail bocause he kept a gaming-house , or was otherwise liable to the erimiual justice of tha country for having committed some indictable offence , and rejecting him fox no other reason than his conformity in political opinions with the party for whom be was to be bound .

      Even the matters of fact alleged by the justices in the present instance as the grounds of their conduct were untruly alleged ; as one at least of the tendered bail expressly denied all connexion with tbe Chartists , and stated that he opposed the proceedings of the meeting which he was charged with having supported . Bat if the case wtre otherwise it would not weaken the grounds of the application , as the justices had no right to alter the measure of justice with any reference to the politics cf the parties ; and if they ( the justices ) bad solely acted from political causes , it was impossible for them to contend that they were free from the imputation of partiality : whilst it may be said in addition tkat the fact of their declaring ttiat they were influenced by other motives , which they kept a secret from the parties , afforded the strongest presumption of corruption .

      Mr . Justice Patteson directed the affidavits to be handed up to him , and stated that be should read them over before coming to a anal decision upon the application . His Lordship , however , expressed his present opinion to'be that the affidavits disclosed no facts which would justify the Court in granting the tule .

      BAIL COURT , LONDON—MONDAY , NOV . 7 . ( Sittings in Banco before Mr . Justice PallisonJ THE QUEEN V . THOMAS BADGER , ESQ ., AND THE REV . H . W . CAlvTWRJGHT , CLERK . Mr . F RLE applied to the Court upon the part of Arthur George O'Nuil , a Chartist , for a rule calling upon the defendants , who are Justices of Pence for the county of Stafford , to show cause why a criminal Information should not be filed against them for having illegally , partially , and corruptly refused to accept bail upon the part of O'Neili there being no objection made to the persons tendered as bail , except that they were alleged to be of the same political principles which were professed by O'Neil himself . It appeared frem the statement of

      the Learned Counsel , that Mr . O Neil , who was Baid to be ft preacher of the Gospel , was , upon the 29 th of August last , brought before the Justices upon a charge of having attended an illegal meeting , and that the Justices required him to enter into his own recognizmce for £ 200 , and to give two other sureties for £ 100 each , to appear and take his trial for the offence . They also required that forty-eight hours' notice of bail should be given to the solicitor for the Crown , and they committed O'Neil to custody in the meantime . Upon the following morning a person of the name of Collins attended before the Justices and gave in , upon O'Neil'a part , the names of two persons named Page and Trueman , to be his bail . These persons , being membtra of the Town-Council of Birmingham , were obliged ,

      according to the General Corporation Amendment Act , to havea qualificationof £ 1 , 000 over and above all theirjuBt debts , and were therefore unexceptionable in a pecuniary point of view . But npon their being presented to the magistrates , Mr . Badger asked Page whether he had not presided at a Chartist meeting in Birmingham in 1842 , and asked Trueman whether he had not taken an active part in the proceedings of tqe same meeting , and in those of the Chartists in General in the same neighbourhood ? It was answered that Page bad presided at the meeting upon certain restrictive conditions which had been complied with ; that Trueman had actually opposed the proceedings of the meeting in itselfthere

      question ; and that with regard to Chartism , were several very different sorts of it , as Christian Chartists , Moral-force Chartists , and Physical-force Chartist * . The parties , however , persevered In refusing the bail , alleging that they bad other objections which they did not think it necessary to mention . O'Neil , in his affidavit , stated that , in consequence * of the refusal , he was not only detained in prison for a considerable time , bat was deprived of the means of preparing tor hia defence , ana was tbeiefoie under the necessity of traversing when hie case was called-on . A haoeas corpus had been applied lot to Mr . Justice Cresswell for the pnrpose of procuring the discharge of O'Neil , bat tbe Learned Judge thought he had no
