ben or a society trbici they cal ] The Reform AssociatioV intended to be undentood by the worling dawssinthe country as The ¦ "OTkmg-man ' a Association / which has been established many years in London . This , it 1 b expected , will decoy the unwary . These committee-men are Leaguers , not working men . " The acent employed in Lsncashireand Yorkshire to establish The Sadinel , is recognised by the Ten Hours Bill men as in cornexioa with Lord Ashley , whose conscisnee is quieted by an assurance from Mr . Place that he -will--writ * a fsw articles in The Sentinel in faTour of the Ten Hours Bill ? Thus auspiciously launched , The Senlinel is expected to be eagerly patronised by tbe maoes , no one suspecting that the Leagiu has any connexion with it
" The agent-is known to be opposed to the Leagusn , and Tery favourable to the rights and protection of labour "; he , not being in the secret , may sincerely recommend The Sentinel as the best working man ' s paper . Great pains will be taken to persuade . thB masses that the Leaguers have nothins whatever to do with The SerdineL It will , however , Boon be discovered , that where they have influence , tbey will recommend that paper to their work people . Tbe plan is well laid—I shall , however , be surprised if it succeed . " In an the eensnltations wife Hie Leaguen , Mr . Place gerionsly believed himself to bs acting the part of a friend of the working classes . Hb is persuaded \ bat Free Trade , and the destruction of our monarchical
government , and tbe institutions founded upon it , are the only means of benefiting the producers of all wealth . He knows how strong the prejudices of the masses are in favenr o ? the protective system and cf our Christian and Constitutional iEstitut-ons , and he therefore fancies that he is jnstifled in adopting such measures to overcome , by degrees , the foolish prejudices tas he conceives them to be ) of " the workiDg classes , and leading them to adopt such views as he conceives are essentially necessary for their own interest . 11 The agent of The Sentinel is now in the North engaged in his mission . He is well-appointed , having a good salary * unlimited power , plenty of money for necessary operations , with orders from the committee who are never to be styled Leaguers ) to adopt every ( plan and pursue every course he thinks most likely to promote the circulation of The Sentinel . Expence is not
to be considered—success must , if possible , be secured . * ' The obj = ct of the proprietors of The Sentinel being to catcb tba ear of tbe masses , for the purpose of eventual ! ' securing iheir influence for the Leaguers , its arguments must be directed to cbime in with the prejudices of the former . It will stonily maintain the six points of tie Charter , ' take a great interest in the promulgation of the different ntes of wagis . sometimes venturing to attribute their fall to th » want of more Free Trade—it will evince much sympathy for the teilins millions , find fault with some of the workings of the Nsw Poor Law , and now and then contain an article from Mr . Place himself in favour of a Ten Hours Factory BilL All tho 38 points will , however , be so managed as eventually to establish the necessity of Free Trade , and a more Liberal Ministry , sb a stepping-stone for further changes in our institutions .
** Thus do the Leaguers hop 9 to gain tbe favour of the masses , extinguish the Northern Star , get rid of O'Onnor , replace O'Connell , reinstate the WhUs , annihilate the Aristocracy , * scattering them ( as O'Connell has it ) like chaff before the wind , destroy the Church , and finally , abolish the existing form of Government 3 " D j not start—in private some of the Leaguers scruple not to avow such intentions . Do you doubt . ' A Or your old friend , Mr . Francis Place—he is £ n uncompromising Republican ;—ask him if 1 have not told the truth .
" Tbe Bcxiety of the Leaguers to obtain the sweet voices of the cr ** wd , is perpetually ot-zing ont On * of them as ) ud a friend of mine , for how much money the hungry SpitalfieUs weavers could be hired to lint the road all xjie way from Buckingham Palace to the House of Lords , when her Majesty should ge to open Parliament , the poor weavers being engaged to shout tke whole time , from one end -of the line to the other , * ESE . &D , Bread , Bsead r Other considerations rather than the expence prevented that indecent and hired attempt at revolution . " Mr . Oastler , in his number for the present week ( Feb . 18 , ) after reading Sir James Graham a severe lecture on prison discipline , turns from him w > ihe gentlemen of the Boose of Commons , whom he thus addresses : —
" 1 am an Englishman . I was a prisoner in the Fleet Prison for debt—now 1 am the victim of the Secretary of State for the Home Department , in the Queen ' s Prison- I am not , at present , about to discuss tbe right of-one Englishman to imprison another , ad leave him there to die , merely because he owes his fellow snhgect , his brother maa , a snm ol money . '—it is enough that I suggest that si ? ch power vj denied by the great Charter of onr liberties ; and that I hint at the folly of thus preveHtinj ; a man from ever being able to satisfy the claims of his creditor . Custom having established that breach of the law and that folly , 1 never complained -whilst I had to pay that penalty .
• ' Now , 1 think I have cause of complaint ; and seeing that yot > have bteu , as I believe , the innocent instruments through whom I have suffered . I am bound to urge on yon these stroDg grounds of remonstrance . For it is most probable , that although you were the agents , you were perfectly uncsDscious of the injury yoH were inflicting : it is , then , my duty to inform you " I TFafl arrested on tbt 9 th of Deeems * r , 1840 , in the county of Middlsstx . 1 should have boen taken to Whitecross . Street Prison , had I not been informed , that , by expending a certain sum of monty , I could obtain my committal by a Judge to the Fleet Prison , where , I wastold , I should harm more liberty , and consequently , more comfort . J paid tbe money nqnired , fmy friends provided me with the needful ) , and was . by a Jntige . committed to the custody of tbe " Warden of the Fleet Fiison .
" On my arrival there , 1 was informed that 1 could not have a separate room , unless I paid tbe fe * a , I instantly complied—a room was given to me , which I enjoyed until tbe 12 th of November . 1842 when against my solenva protest , J teas forcibly taken auray and lodged in this prison . " When 1 was committed to the Fleet , 3 found myself under the protection of the Judges , who , by certain Acts of Parliament , were empowered to make tuIps for tbe regulation of the prison . Of those rules 1 was always observant . 1 was never reproved—1 never complained .
" Havirg purchased the rights which I thus enjoyed , I was enabled , by tbe kindneta of my friends , to lay out a sum of money in making my room comfortable . Having also purchased my privileges under the sanction of the laws and the Judges , 1 deemed myself as mnch entitled to enjoy them in security as any of yourselves caa be to the er . joymsnt of your property . The only condition of observing them was obedience to the Rules —that I scrupulously paid . " Dnring the last session of Parliament , an Act , called tbe Queen ' s . Prison Act , was pissed , which antborised the removal of the prisoners it the Fieet to this place , and constituted the Secretary of State fcr the Home Department the governor of the Queen's Prison .
" It is pretended that I was under that Act . But first , as to the Act itself . 1 cannnt believe that injustice was intended—tfeat it was enacted is self-evident . J cannot dispnt = your poirer to rob n > e of my purchased legal lights , or to add to tbe severity of tbe final sentence of the law ; but I do dispute ycur right . As well might you claim the right to confiscate tbe estate of every Er . jjli > bman except yourselves , or to add transportation to tbe sentence of those who are condemned to imprisonment , and dvatb . to those who are condemned to transportation , as tkus assert the right to confiscate my property , deprive me of my iinforfeiled rights , and alter my 5 ent *? Dce under the law .
" Most respectfully , bu : m-m urgently , I call your attention to these facts , rememb ring , that when the Act of Parliament destroys my rights , it has shaken your own . Po'wer -wtnei ! is nut Icunrtefl in justice , is necessarily , of uccertiin tenure . Remember , also , you are not authorized to assume arbitrary poweT— you are mere ) j the chosen protectors of constitutional rights . " But , Gtntitmfcn , this is not the whole of my case . It was enacted in that statute , that when 1 was removed , my name * &ould be inserted in the warrant . J « o name was written therein . Tbe warrant was a single sheet of paper . "When I asked to see my name , 1 was referred to a separate book , of many pages , which seemed to contain tbe names of all the prisoners in the Fleet .
" Nay , mere . It was enacted that this prison should be made ready to receive as . No MJch preparation was made . I , for me , iras placed in a filthy room , without any furniture—the room swarmed iPilb hugs , it having been , thnt very vreefc , ruled by tbe Lord Chief Bsrcu , and dfcCMied by a jury , that a house infested irith bugs teas not tenatifable Fi » r four r-ithts 1 wander * d about the prisen , without any rest—for two nights I was inctbted to a brotl-er prisontrfor his bed . ' I was pnt to the expeDce of removing rcy furniture , and making ray room habitable . I underwent all this suffering , and incurred this f-xpence , without even being charg « sd with misconduct . It is true , that when I had thus suffered , 1 was offered £ h by tbe Prison In . 'pf-etor , which , of course , I refused . The fifer piored that the Government teas in the wrong .
" "Still , I ha-se not told you alL I am no longer under the protection of the Jndges—I have witnessed tbe diff . rence between the guardianship and the keepership of ihb Home Secretary of Siate , by the lavish expenditure of the public money in iron ba _ -a , gratings , spikes , and , afiove ail , in a dark , dismal , separate yard , in which the * female prisoners are to be confined , and in many contrivances for the express purpose of adding severity to imprisonment . What the Rnles to which I am hereafter to be subjected may be ,. I am , as yet , only able to guess . Knowing , however , that Sir James Gratom prevents debtors in Carlisle gaol eating a luncheon with a Mend and relative , or playing on a flute for amusement , and that he is so unmanly as to subject tboBe debtors , even token ikey are vUh Iheir trices , to be intruded upon without the courtesy cf knocking at the door—knowing all thia , and Hfcfcir / g the vast accumulation of iron in this place , by his express order , I am led to expect that cruelty , noi Justice , will be the pervading spirit of his Rules .
* ' TJcaer the regulation of tbe JcdgeB 1 was allowed the free ingress and egrm of -friends— safe en tody , entireiyfrte from personal annoyances , teas all thai Iheir Rules -required . I have been honoured by tbe visits of senifcexaof your Bcrourable House and oi tie House

of Lords , by foreign ministers , and gentlemat * of the highest literary a-. tainn . ents and tbe greatest political influence , both English and foreign . We haw often parbkeB together of refreshment ; but now it would seem that , without any fault of mine , I am to be condemned to sugar tbe loss of their society , except on terms so degrading , tbat the pleasure , if not the opportunity , will be withdrawn . ' Gentlemen , since you are , I believe , the innocent instruments through whom I have thus been wronged , I appeal to you—I fcleronly ash you to restore my rights j —those rights tcnich I have never forfeited ; tbey are I as aacred as your own , and ought to be beldinviolate .
"If you require more" information , I am ready to appear at the fear of your hooae—I will answer any and every question , and shall not hesitate to plead my own cause ; when , if the sacred principle of justice has not departed from your assembly , you will hasten to restore that which , I believe , it was never YOUR intention to take away . " If you refuse this request , bo reasonable , I ask you to supply me with means for appearing before the Judges of the realm , there to demand the restitution of those rights which , under the sanction of the laws , J purchased from one of themselves .
" I cannot believe that the Legislature of Eng ' and intended that a man who refuses to a debtor the enjoyment of eating with a friend or relative , or of amusing himself on the flute—that one who would ruthlessly invade the sanctity of the privacy of married life —I cannot , until you have foiced the conviction , either by not amending or erasing from the statute-book this stealthily obtained Act , believe that it was your intention to empower such a high State functionary to oppress those who are already suffering from the Hialicionsrevenge of their fellow subjects . Nor will I believe , till the conviction is forced on me , that ycu intended to deprive any subject of her Majesty either ei their property or their rights . " If in this 1 an mistaken , I shall regret that tyranny has usurped tbe throne of justice !—but I shaii never despair , because I know that oppression always digs its own grave , and that He in whom I trust has declared that' He will break in pieces the oppressors . *
" Perhaps it may be requisite that I should explain why I adopt this mode of communication to you , the representatives of the people , instead of adopting the right of petition . 1 have petitioned—you « reredeaf to my entreaties . That is why I resort to this mode of address . Now you know , Sir Jatues , as well as I do , that ex post facto laws are unconstitutional , and that no penal Ad of Parliamtnt can be retrospective But , not content with being the Minister of cruelty under the Queen ' s Prison Act , you have dared to add torture to injustice , and have refused to comply with its enactments . " If a law were made to alter tho sentences of prisoners already condemned to imprisonment to transportation , and you , in the gratification of your vengeful spirit , were to Hang them , that crime wonid onlydiff . r in decree . •¦ If the spirit that , in days of yore , animated tbe heart of Englishmen , were Dot txtinct , you would be impeached—now perhaps a biH of indemnity may be passed . Bnt remember , no bill of indemnity can heal the wounds already ii flicted—they will rankle till they burst .
" We wbo have been drmgged from tbe Fieet to this place , contrary to tbe letter aud spirit of the law , know that by the law we are free—we are held in prison because , just now , you are powerful , and can , at present , defy the law . That power which is not founded in justice cannot long exist—it must be restrained by the return of justice , or fall by its own inherent weakness . I pray God that th » former may be the case . Do not deceive yourself—I have met with those in prison who have been schoolmasters to the mind of England . We know how to be patiert , but we have not yet learned to yield , in silence , to injustice and tyranny . " Lay not the flattering unction to your soul that England will never know . The eyes and the ears of true Britons are attentive to your prison deeds . Those deeds of darkness will be brought into the blaaa of
day—" One word on our Indian affairs . How can impeachment be refused ? Jf the Whigs were jnstifled in invading Afghanistan , the Conservatives were guilty of treachery when they evacuated the conquered country . If the Conservatives were justified in relinquishing possession of Afghanistan , the Whigs were lawless plunderers in the attack . "Either there must be impeachment , or responsibility is a farce . If the treasure , blood , and national hon 6 ur which England has sacrificed in that invasion , conquest , end retreat , do not call for the impeachment of Use guilts authors of so much loss and disgrace , every natiun in the world will ridicule our notion of England's responsible governors , and despise tbe name of Britain ' s greatness . Then , it will be proved that the very kernel of tbe British institutions is rotten , and that the snn of Britain ' s glory has set Well , we shall Bee .
" What a woeful figure you cut on the Tth instant , when Mr . . Walter posed yon so awfully respecting the atrocious New Poor Law ' secret ' -public document i — ' I have a faint recollection ! ' —Hem !—• I hardly know 7 . ' "—Hum . ' Ha ! Non mi ricordo ! Hem 1 Hem !— ' 1 am not prepared to consent to its pruduction !* Sir James Graham , it will not do i A Minister of tbe Crown should not thus disgrace himself . ' " That scene is too rich to be disposed of with this hasty glance . In my next letter you Bhall bear more from me on that most important exhibition . How many speeches have l > een made , how many books written , to discover and explain the prihtiple of the New Poer Law . We have it do m , proved by an official document —starvation . ' Yes , that is the ttord . an / i that is the principle ! Well , I think my friend Walter , has , at last , given the hideous monster its death-blow . "

About ten o ' clock the crew of one of the boats observed , at a dis-tance , a sail suddenly disappear . Supposing that one of their neighbours had carried away a mast , they hastened to the spot to render them assistance ; but when they arrived nothing was to be seen save a few oars and empty dishes . It was soon ascertained the boat had been upset under sail , and immediately sunk with her unfortunate crew , consisting of three men- The names of the sufferers were as follow : —Thomas Hunter , aged 25 , leaving a young disconsolate widow , who had only been married three wpeks ; Thomas Cannibh 26 ; and R-jbert Cannish , 23 , brothers , both unmarried .
Wrfck of another Inpiaman , the Habmony—Four of tub Cri-. \ f DROWNtp . — Letters received by tnu underwriters at Loyd ' s , on Thursday week , announce the total wreck of another Indiaman , called the Harmony , a vessel upwards « '' 700 tons burden , and commanded by Captain Richard Smith , laden with a valuable cargo , consisting of 12 . 0 U 0 bags of sugar , 120 case 8 of silks , besides other merchandise to a considerble amount , the whole of which was irrecoverably lost . The catastrophe took place at ti , late hour at uight on the 27 ih of October la ' st , while on her passage to Bombay , and , unfortunately , four fine fellows belonging to the crew met with a watery grare . At the time the ship had all sail standing and astiffish bref ze blowing from the westward , when suddenly she struck heavily upon a sunken shoal , situate in
lat . 12 , long . 11-3 , E . So severe was ihe shock , that those who were upon deck were thrown down , and the mainmast instantly give way and fell overheard . The utmost terror and confusion now reigned throughout the vessel . All were scrambling over the bulwarks for the boats , which were no sooner filled before they were pushed off , and , before they had reached many yards , ihe ship gave a lurch , and went down in a great depth of warer , carrying with her the four seamen , who were supposed to be in the torecastle , endtavouring to save their clothes . The survivors , after rowing to the southward for some hours , were picked up by a vessel which took them to Manilla , where they are reported to remain . Noue of the passengers were able to save any portion of their luggage . The loss by the wreck and her cargo is very heavy .
Royal and Parliamentary Telegraph . —We are enabled this week to made a communication interesting to men of science , curious ; and most important in itself . Mr . Cook , the joint patentee with Profes-sor Wheatstone , ef the Voltaic Telegraph , has been commissioned to lay down a line from the Paddington station of tise Great Western Railway to Windsor Castle , and carry it thence to the Parliament houses and Buckingham Palace . The effect of this will be , that ou important occasions , when the Sovereign may be at Windsor , any intelligence of extraordinary interest can be transmitted to her Majesty in a second—nay , in less time . The voltaic eleotricity which governs the motion of the telegraph travels at the rate of two hundred and eighty-eight
thousand miles a second . This has been proved by the delicate instrument invented by Professor Wheatstone . This new and most singular arrangement will be of great value in connection with the public service . When cabinet oounci's sit on momentous questions , her Majesty can be acquainted with the result of their deliberations as instantaneous , j as if sbe were present ; When the Queen presides over ihe meetings of her ministers m person at Windsor , it not unfrequently happens that iufornmtion on a particular subject may be required from the departments in London ; and hitherto , when this has been ihe case , it of course became necessary to send an express to town to obtain what was called
for , before tno business could satisfactorily proceed . Now it , in most cases , will be procured while the council is bitting , and , indeed , in the course of four or five minutes , which before would have caused , a delay of as many hours . This will not only be of use on great occasions , but in a common way its everyday value will be considerables-During the session of Parliament , for instance , on every question of interest her Alajesty can learn the division , or the progress made in a debate , one moment after the house hao divided , or any particular orator has risen to speak or resumed his seat . Thus , a more rapid communication between the sovereign and her ministers for the time being will be established than has ever been known or thought of before . —Mirror .
Hydrophobia —A remarkable case of death from hydrophobia has this week occurred in Newcastle . Tbe sufferer was a labouring man , named Richard Oxley , residing in Bank-side , Castle garth , who about two years ago was bitten by a mad dog in two places on the left arm . The wounds were at the time dressed by Mr . Walker , a surgeon , and in due course healed . No further inconvenience was felt by Oxley until Saturday last , when he suddenly bBcame ill , and during Sunday manifested decided symptoms of this dreadful disease , falling into vioother
lent fits whenever water or any liquid was presented to him . Medical assistance was procured prior to the exhibition of these symptoms , but without effect . He expired in great agony on Tuesday morning . A post mortem examination of the body took place by Mr . Turner , surgeon , in the presence of several other professional gentlemen ; and the conclusion unanimously come to was , that the deceased really had died of hydrophobia , all concurring aiso in the opinion that the effects of the bite of a rabid dog might not bo developed until two years afterwards , or even longer . —Durham
Advertiser . Leith . —Dreadful Shipwrfck , —All Hands L 05 T —intelligence has just reached us of the loss of the schooner Rob Roy , of this place , which sailed from Sunderland a few days ago . This unfortunate circumstance occurred on Wednesday morning , at two o ' clock , on Newbigeen Rocks , near Blyth . The details are dreadful . Tae cries of the crew were heard amid the roaring of the Btorm , and on persons going down to the beach , the vessel with her unfortunate crew was discerned in the utmost distress .
The vessel went to pieces immediately , and a female was feeftn among the surf with her hand stretched out for aid , waving a glove as a signal for assistance ; but no human efforts could help her , and the back sweep of the sea carried her away . 1 he rest of the crew were all drowned . Two of the bodies have been washed ashere ; and a quantity of female and child ' s clothing , together with two silver spoons , have also washed up . It is supposed that the crew had been exhausted and worn out , and had run the vessel ashore to save their lives . —Caledonian
Mercury . Melanchol y Death . —On Monday morning the workmen at Dalketty quarry , in the neighbourhood of Brecbin , on entering their bothy for tha purpose of preparing breakfast , were alarnu'd to find a human boay in the chimney , within two feet of the ground , quite stiff . It Was completely fixed in the vent the legs being on each side of an iron rodt used as a crook tree for suspending their pot ; and they had to pull down a part of the inside wall to get out the rod , so as io relieve the body . It was discovered to be the corpse of a young man named Mills , Bon of Mr . Mills , dentist , and clerk to the Messrs . Anderson , writers in Arbroath . The poor lad had left ihat pla . ee on the afternoon of Saturday , with the
intention of visiting his father , then in Brechin , and he had got within a very short distance of his destination when thus mysteriously called to enter upon a journey from which there is no return . The bothy is almost close upon the road , and the top of the chimney stalk is said to be nearly on a level with the 8 urrouEding rubbish of the quarry . It is conjectured that he had lost his way , and having got benumbed with cold , had resolved to take shelter in the bothy until tbe next morning . From the marks on the deor , he had evidently tried first to break it up , and being unsuccessful , bad attempted to get in b ^ eoiuj' down the chimney , which was a _ very
narraw one f ~ however , he had descended , with , uis hands npwards or over his head , until he reached tne crook rod , where he had become perfectly helpless . Poor Fellow ! he had struggled hard for life , as the backs of his hands wer e very much broken and bruised . It is supposed th ? ; he may have been suspended for aearly thirty «* dix hours before life was extinct , as a surgeon who saw the body thought he felt sorao heat about tt > a pit of the stomach afttr he was found . A pre « " opinion into the melancholy catastrophe was instituted by the Sheriff , who found that it was pv . rely acoiaental . He was an amiable youth , of quip t , aud inoffensive manners , and apparently of we ^ k fcodily constitution . —Man / rose Review *

Fatal Accident on the London and Brighton Rail wat . —An accident , attended with loss of life happened on tne London and Brighton Railway last Friday . A loeomotive engine , driven by Goldsmith , was proceeding up the Hue with a train of ballastwaggons , at one o ' clock , just as a number of labourers , who had been to uinner , were returning to their work , near the seven-arched bridge , between the Redhill and Horley stations . As the train approached at the usual speed , one of the labourers , namea Thomas Andrews , stepped in front of the engine when only about ten yards off , and his companions immediately called out lustily in him ; but , in an instanr , before there was a possibility of
stopping the engine , he was knocked down , and the whota Irain passed over him , completely severing his head from his body , and mutilating his trunk in a frightful manner . The deceased wasaiman of extraordinary penurious habits , and ! had contrived , -from his wages as a common ' labourer , to amass a considerable property for his station in life . He has often , we hear , been seen making his dinner from the beans given to the horses . He was conversing cheerfully with his companions just before the accident , and the only way in which his actions can be accounted for is by supposing that he was sudden'y taken with a fit , which caused him to stagger on to the rails in front of the vra ~ . ii .

RfOTS AT OPORTO . Lisbon , Feb . 6 . —On the 3 d instant ; the Oporto steamer arrived here from that City , bringing intelligence of a rattier ali'wing nature for tbe Government and certainly of very bad augury for the success of the new contrivances about to be resorted tofor ; the improvement of the revenue . Tbe Committee of Assessors of tbe tieciina tax having concluded th <; assessment ol tbe quota which tach individual was to centribute for the present year , a list of the persons to be | taxed , with the sums charged to them set opposite to tbui- names , was i ffixed at the (" fours of the Municipal Cbambor . This having been , as usual , eaeerly examined by the parties concerned , it was at once remarked that the asses inents were much greater than they had been for the preceding 5 ear . A murmur of indignation immediately began to arise which soon spread throughout the whole city , and great numbers of the inhabitants began to assemble in the square before the chamber , expressing
their determination not to tubmit to so fligtant an act of injustice , originating , as it notoriously did , from the rapac ty of the commissioners ibeiUBelves , wbo being allowed by the new regulation a per centage upon the sums assessed , had an interest in surcharging as much as possible . In the course of the day these angry feelings were further stimulated by the appearance of printed declarations from tfes subordinate parochial assessors , protesting against the general committee , for having , contrary to their report and recommendation , augmented the charge payable by each individual , and that too , to what tbey consider an exorbitant rate . The ferment having become still greater the ntxfc day ( the 1 st inst ) , the obnoxious lists were taken down by the authorities , and a conference with closed doors took place between the civil governor , the officer of the municipality , and the eth . tr magistrates , the result of which was ^ proclamation from tlie governor , of which the following is a translation : —
" Oportonians , —For some days past this heroic and ever loyal city has afforded a striking proof of the facility with which mea fall into error , ' , whtn they suffer themselves to be led away by first impressions , without allowing due time fur reflection . The publication of the decima assessments , which tbe jaw ordains , in order that each citiz--u may know what , he is called upon to contribute , and may , if he should consider himself surcharged , be enable I to remonstrate ; accordingly through the proper channel , has been j erroneously
viewed by many citizens in the light of an irrevocable decree . It is not for me to pronounce any opinion as to the justice of tbe cemplaints that have been made ; but it isuiy duty to declare that the only proper and legal course to be pursued by the parties is . that of addressing petitions to the competent authorities . These means not having been resorted to , no person Iran any tight to complain of injustice ; and the clamour that has been raised musk therefore be ascribed either to ignorance of the law , or to machinations of the insidious enemies of the Contitutional \ Juiutv * .
" Fellow-townsmen , becalm I Tbe lists have already been withdrivvrn in order to' be re-cousidtired , and yonr complaints have been communicated to the Government , WboBt > superior decision it behoves you to await tranquilly . ( Signed ) "Antonio Luiz DAbreo . " This proclamation , instead of pteducing | iti intended sedative effect , added fuel to flame . The ; people tore it down wherever they found it affixed , aiid trampled it under foot , with loud cries of " Down with the taxes . " "Down with the Ministers , ' " " Down with tbe robbers who want to plunder us . "' The police at flrat uttetnpted to Interfere , and having etiz-id ;\ man in tbe act of tearing down a proclamation ^ were about to convey him to the guard-bouse , when the mob came
to the rescue , and the soldiers scampered 1 off , leaving their prisoner behind them . Things continued in this state till five in the afternoon , when a strong picket of Dragoons entered the Praca de Don ; Pedro , and drew up in fiont of the Municipal * Chamber . This demonstration , however , instead of intimidating the people , exasperated them still further . I With one general rush they closed in upon the Dragoons , sea id their horses' bridles , and compelled them ; t « decamp . A detachment of infantry which appeared soon after , met with a similar reception , and was in like manner obliged to retire . At night the people withdrew to their homes ; and beyond this stage of the aff . sir the intelligence received by tbe steamer does not extend . I will , however , add in a postcript whatever further accounts may be received .
There is every reason to believe that the grievance complained of is not the eo ! e ciuse of the outbreak , bnt that at the bottom there is a strong feeling of indignation in tbe breasts of the Oportonians at { the sacrifice which the Government seems determined ; to make of their interests to those of the manufacturers , by refusing to agree to the arrangements proposed by Lord Aberdeen . The enormous rate at which the people are taxed ia , however , quite sufficient to produce a popular insurrection throughout the country ; and jl have just heard that alarming symptoms of discontent have already begun to manifest themselves amongst the people of the three districts to which the octroi duty ia to be extended . This is very likely to lead to something serious , considering that wine , for instance , is not worth more in those districts than about eight roilreis per pipe , and that as the active duty is twelve milrivs per pipe , the consumer will be obliged to | pay for his pint of liquor from two and half to three times as much as it costs him at present .
O . i Saturday last the Minister of War applied for permission to the Cortes to employ Count St . Maria ( a deputy ) on a particular service of great importance ; which permission was granted , and the Count marten yesterday in the steamer to take the command of the troops at Oporto . The Oportouiana , ho-weyer , are uot a people to be joked with , and if any attempt at coercion should be ventured upon , I am much inclined to believe that the first shot fired will sound the Knell of the present Ministry , and perhaps of the Charter too .

London Corn Exchange , Monday , ] Feb . 13 . — Fresh up , to-day , scarcely any Wheat came to hand ; in the few transactions reported , the ; currencies noted on ihis day se ' nnight were supported . From abroad very little Wheat has been imported . A good , but by no means brisk , inquiry was apparent for the ficesi ; Wheats , at quotations about equal to those of last week . Barley went off at ] lull prices . Iu Malt , no variation worthy of notice * In Beans and Pea ? , little appeared to bo doing .
London Smithfibliv Market , Feb . 13 . —The steadiness in the demand for Beef , has ; not induced the graziers to send forward any material increase in our supplies of Beasts for today ' s ( market . A great falliug off has taken place in the supplies pi slaughSBrea meat . We had a much better ieeling in the B-sef trade . Some of the besi weighing Scots were taken off at 4 a . 6 d . per 81 bs ., buj ; we cannot enhance our top piice of Beef beyond ] 4 ^ . 4 d . per 8 Lb 3 ., at which a good clearance was effected with-8 Lb s ., at which a good clearance was eftecied wuh-Beasts
ov . i difficulty . Not a single head of either or Sheep was on sale from abroad . The { numbers of ' Sheep on tbe market were moderately good , but by no means large . On Friday last the currencies of Mutton rose 2 d . per 81 bs ., and to-day | hal amount of improvement was supported by the salesmen . The inquiry for Veal was rather firm , and last week ' s improved rates were well sustained . About ninety large Hogs were received by sea from Dublin , but they moved off at low figures—those of the neatest small Porkers being fairly sustained .
Borough Hop Mabket . —The supplies of hops brought forward in our market being ] on a very moderate scale ; we have still to report a steady , but by no means brisk , general demand , and last week ' s prices are readily maintained . \ Potato Markets . —The receipts of potatoes having been comparatively email , within the last few days , and the weather proving more seasonable , we have to report a fair demand , and late quotations are steadily maintained . :

Tallow . —Since our . last the " price of Tallow on the spot has declined Is . per cwt ; thia is accounted for only from the extreme anxiety of several holders to realise . The demand has been pretty good throushous the week . For the autumn the price is about 44 s . deliverable in the last frlirea months , but not much disposition to buy . Town Tallow is said to be scarce , and not much to be had at 47 s . nett cash . Wool Markets . —The declaration of several publio sales of Wool has had tbe effects of producing considerable heaviness in the private contract demand , and previous rates are with difficulty supported .
Liverpool Cattle Market—Monday , Feb . 13 . — The supply of Cattle at market to-day has been much the same as last week , both with respect to price and quality , the number being small . Beef 5 ^ d to € d . ; Mutton 6 d . to 6 Jd . Number of Cattle at market : — Beasts 675 , Sheep 2106 .
Liverpool CorrdN Market , Monday , Feb . 13 . — There is no change to notice iu any respect different to the close of the week . The sales to-day amount to about 4 , 000 fcags transacted in the same dull manner , but without any change in prices . Exporters have taken 500 Americas . —Oa Saturday the sales were S ^ 00 bags . Liverpool Corn Market , Mondat , Feb . 13 . — The imports for Gram , Flour , and Oatmeal , for the past week , aro of very small amount . Since the declaration of the Government that no further
change in the Corn Laws was at present contemplated , holders of Wheat have shown somewhat more firmness ; the millers and dealers , however , have not bought freely , and any advance on our previous quotations has been only partially obtained . Flour has been held at foil prices , but has met only a moderate sale . Notwithstanding the scanty supply of Oats , so few have been wanted that we cannot report any improvement in the value ; 2 " s 5 d per 451 bs is an extreme rate for Irish mealing . Oatmeal has moved slowly at 21 s to 21 * 6 d . per load . There is no change to report as to Barley , Beans , or Peas .
AJawhesteb Corn Market , Ffb . 11 . —Although the accounts received from most of the leading Wheat markets , during thepreseat week , have noteo an advance in the value of that grain , y ^ t no similar improvement could be realized in the price of Flour here ; but a fair consumptive demand has been experienced for this article , at fully the rates obtainable on the preceding market day . In Oats or Oatmeal there was only a limited business , without alteration from the previous currency . Influenced , probaoly , by adverse winds , the imports into Liverpool and
Runcorn since this day week , both Coastwise and from Ireland , are altogether unimportant ; and there are no arrivals from abroad . Supplies of Flour from the interior are only moderate . At our Corn Exchange thi * morning the business done in Wheit was without variation from che quotations of Saturday laatj ^ Tlour was in fair request , and prices steady : Oatmeal , with ouly a limiud sale , was the turn lower . No alteration was observable iu other articles .

On Wednesday night , the neighbourhood of St . Aiban ' s was the scene of a tragical and distressing occurrence . Pwo men wero found struggling in ajrony on the steps of a bouse in Hancock ' s-yard , occupied by a man named Williamson . Williamson , it vfouid seem , had grown jealous of his wife .
who is a shopwoman in iho town , in consequence of his having observed a too familiar , intimacy existing between her and a iaan named Brigg , who worked in the same shop . On Wednesday , Williamson concealed himself to watch for the supposed paramour , who came soon alter ten o'clock , and as he was abous to knock at the door , Williamson rushed to the steps and fired a pistol at Briggs , the contents of which lodged in his cheek . Williamson dropped the discharged pistol , and drew out another , which Briggs succeeded in wrenching from him . Williamson then iHblantly took a small bottle from hie pocket , and drank off its contents , which proved to be oxalic acid . At thiB moment several persons rushed forward , and conveyed the sufferers to the infirmary . Slight hopes are entertained of their ultimate recovery .
Tajj Ahbtjuq , the Lion Tamku . —If it be trnethat a certain celebrated unguent—wherewith Mr .

Our observation has for a baas , the great variety of external disorders , each as goat , rheumatism , scrofula , glandular complaints , all kinds of wounds , caccer , . paralysis , & < J-, to which this highly reputed Ointment is applicable . Were it only to diminish the anxiety whica ail parents must feel respecting their children and household , a supply of this Oimment in families ought to be universal .

Thb "Pensioners" and the New Poor Law . — The New Poor Law Act , containing provisions which the pensioners consider unfair , aud as pressing birdly upon men who have done the good service , those residing in several districts have signed a petition to parliament on the subject . Similar petitions , we understand , are aboHt to be signed in other parts to be Teady for presentation at the beginning of May , the pnblic generally are not aware of the nature of the complaint , we insert the following copy of the petition : — That your petitioners beg leaveto call the attention of yonr Honourable House to tbe poor law as regards the payment of poor rates by the out psnsiones of Chelsea HoBpitaL
That should any pensioner fee bo unfortunate as to require parochial relief for himself or family , or should be suffer his family to become chargeable to the parish , his pension will be payable to the parish officer ? , according to the provisions of the Acts of b 9 th Geo . 3 d . cap . 12 th . and 6 th Geo . 4 th , cap . 27 th . That whilst such pension has be « n paid to the parish officers , your petitioners are als « liable to pay poor rates , and in several other cas * s distress warrants have been executed against your petitioners' effects , and in one instance imprisonment for three months has been inflicted , when it has not been in their power to meet buch payments . That your petitioners consider the funds raised by the poor rates are tho proper monies from which relief onsht to be available , and not from the pensions of your petitioners , which have beta earned at the risk of their lives , and after a long hard service in tho defence of their country .
Your petitioners also bee leave to call the attention of your Honoarable House to the fact of yoar petitioners being liable , on any emergency , to be called up by an order from tbe Horse Guards , to perform garrison duty , or act as special constables , which latter duty your petitioners have recently performed on the late outbreak in the Staffordshire Potteries , to the entire satisfaction of tbe magistrates acting on the occasionsevtjal serving fifteen successive days and sights . That many of your petitioners are very old atid infirm from the service iney have faithfully rendered to their country , and with families ; their pensions aTe not sufficient to provide them with the necessaries of life .
Your petitioners therefore , humbly crave tnat your Honourable House will pass such a law as ia its wisdom shaM think beat , fox tbe propose of relieving your petitioner * and their bro'her pensioners , either from the payment of poor rates , or to repeal the provisions of the naid acts of 59 th George 3 , Cap . 12 , and Cth Geerge 4 , cap . 27 , so as to prevent the pensions of your petitioners from beiDg liable to be assigned over to the parish officers on parochial relief being required .
