LEEDS . WEST WARD ELECTION . TB 1 USZFB OF THE CHAETJSTS . i An election for a Common CoHncilman for this ward has just taken place , cansed by the death of Dr . Hunter . The Doctor was a Tory ; and has sat in the Council for a considerable number of years . Bis term of office , howeTer , would haTe { expired in NoTember next , had he lived till then . ( His death caused a successor to be needed . That succeesor has been appointed 5 and he is a Chartist ! The Whigs did not venture to start a man at all The fight has been between tbe Chartist and a Tory ; and the Chartist has beat . Mr . John Jackson , the corn-miller , was ihe man the Chartists determined to fifcb . t with ; and a Mr . Brigg was pot forward by ihe Tory section of the Ward . The election was on Pridsy last , the poll closing at four o ' clock , when tbe numbers
were—Jackson- * . 440 Brigg „ . 438 Majority — 2 Well done Chartists 1 Hurrah for ; NoTembsr next I This opens the door ! More must follow and let us see if tbe ** sxpenditwe" ' , cannot be reduced to less than £ 25 , 000 a-yesr . Theatre . —A new feature in theatricals is now being attempted by the lessee in tbe shape of Saturday performances . This is very unusual , though we know not why it should be so : a great many of the working classes bsing , on eTery evening of the week except Satnrday , detained at their Tarions employments until too late an hour for the theatre , wid
thus haTe an opportunity of sometimes tasting a recreation more rational and intellectual than thai of the ale-house , to which too many , in other respects respectable and good men , devote their Saturday evenings . Elsewhere we give in an advertisement a list of tha entertainments , to be presented up to Thursday evening in next week . On Tuesday it will be seen that the HivsIs is to be played , and that Ithe splendid band of the 32 nd Foot , together jwith " the Officers of that Regiment are to attend . ! We can pledge ourselves th&t the Band is worth hearing } whether the Officers be worth seeing may be best proved by experiment j at si ] events if the audience look only at the stage they will see a splendid comedy , and we have no doubt well played .
Domesticated kobiss . —In the carpenier ' s shop at the Leeds Botanical Gardens , a pair j of robins have built their nesl in a recess uuder the end of the bench on which a man is almost constantly at work , and there ars now in the nest five yqnng ones , being the second brood this season . The ! nest was first built in February , and at the end of March four young « ne 3 were reared and flew away . The parent birds feed their young without at all heedinj ? the presence of the workmen ; in fact , they are so tame as to take the food which is freely offered to them during the day .
Htcsibt . —On Tharsday evening lastj Mr . D . Ross delivered a soul-stirring lecture in ihe large room , adjoining the Punch Bowl Inn , \ ** on the Bspeal of tbe Union" to an overflowing audience . Great numbers were compelled to retire , not being able to gain admittance . He clearly portrayed the enormities and monstrosities which have been perpetrated on the people of Ireland by a British oligarchy , since the Union with England : and showed that nothing but a Repeal i of the Legislative Union can alleviate their , distress or permanently benefit that ill-fated country . A few more visits from finch men as Mr . Rosa , and Hnnslet will stand pre-eminent in democracy . Toryism will be laid prostrate in the dust ; Whiggery will be buried in oblivion ; and Chartism reign triumphant over intimidation , tyranny , and despotism .

Asothee Coal-pit Explosion . —The inhabitants if Longton , Staffordshire , were , on Monday last , thrown into a most indescribable state of alarm and mental suffering , by tbe report that an accident from fire-damp had occurred , at one of tbe neighbour ing coal-pife . whichjTeponiurned out to be but too true . Nine unfortniiate men were prematurely hurried into eternity ! Tne full particulars of the accident have not yet been communicated to ns ; but we learn that two colliera lost their lives throngh venturing into the pii to render assistance to their brethren who had been exposed to the ravages of the explosive
j ras = es- Tbe carbonic acid left after tbe explosion , of the mixed hydrogen and the oxygen of the common air , deprived the brave and feeling men of life . Contract the conduct of these two poor colliers , who nr ere thus ready to sacrifice life itself at the altar of friendship , with the unfeeling conduct of the Masters and their " Butties , " who coin gold out of the heart's blood ef the collier , while they , uufeelisgly refuse him means sufficient , in return j for his haro . toil , to procure the barest comforts of exist * € &ce ! The Potteries have only just seen thiB end of one stbi ££ , most alarming in its nature , and most de-restating in its course ; caused by the redactions in the wages of those who work entombed- in the
bawels of tbe earth , exposed lo such casualities as the one which has just hurried mine men } off the stage of existence . Hot content with the reductions then effected , another is attempted J The owner of tbo mines who who was the first to offer a reduction last time , has given notice of anniher of fourpence a-dayJll If this shonld be effected , the wages will be , lor constantly exposing themselves to death , and for toiling at the hardest and most uncomfortable species of labour , tvsr eightehjs pbkce a ; -dat ! 3 Would there be just cause for wonder , ; were * Rebecca" to leave Wales , and pay i « a visit' ! Caa the owners of property , really think that they are safe , while such a system of " grinding the faces of the poor' * is permitted to exist !
fin the Times of Thursday we find the following particulars of the most awful occurrence recorded in tbe above paragraph . Let ths reader ponder well over the statement ; and then , after reflecting on the testimony borne by the writer to the good character of the sufferers , curse the monsters who wish to reduce the wages of theirsnrming brethren though hourly exposed to " accidents ' such as here detailed , to eighteen tesce a-dat i } AWFCl . CoiiTEBT BXPLOSIOJT , IiAl « E-EsD SlAFyoHDSHiHE Potteries . —A most melancholy and fatal accident occurred last night at Fenton , two sules from this place , by whichnine lives haTe besa sacrificed , and the event , as might naturally be expected , has occasioned the most painful excite '
ment , asd thrown ihe surrounding district into a state ef the deepest gloom . At half-past five o'clock all the collier ? , with the exception of fire men and two boys , bad finished their worfc , and iad ^ safely ascended tbe shaft of the Greenfields Ash Pit , at the Broadsfield Colliery , whereihe awful announcement was made that " an explosion of fire-damp had taken place . Mr . Barton , the ground bailiff of ihe colliery , was instantly apprised of the occurrence , and in a few minutes vast numbers assembled to ascertain the fate of the unfortunates , and to render all the assistance in their power . Mr . Barton immediately descended , notwithstandthe ixnmvaeai nsk to hss ovfb life , and nerer quilled the pit nntil the whole of the bodies had been « xof
trieat ^ d—a work immense labonr , and which was not accomplished nntil half-past eleven o'clock . Awinl to relate , two poor eolliers , who descended to give their aid , after Mr . Barton , fell victims so the power that bad Uken tbe lives of those thpy sought to rescne ; and many others are now Efcverely snffernig from the tffrets of the noxious vapours ¦ they inhaled while engaged in their praiseworthy ta * k . It is impossible lo describe the scene , asiody after body , completely lifeless , was drawn n . p \ tbe screams of women and children , and the unsupprepsed groans of friends and neighbours , were truly distressing ; and particularly so , as nearly fall the sufferers were persons of good character , -well known , and respected . The Broadifield Colliery
is a very extensive one ; a great number of Lpersons are employed in the extensive works ; and it " may therefore be readily imagined how sincere and general is tbe mourning and distress amongst ! the friends and relatives of the deceased . The colliery is in the hands of lessees , ihe principal of whom are W . T . Copeland , Esq ., M . P ., of the eminent firm of Copvland and Garrctt , Lincoln s-inn-neids , and W . Baktr , Esq . —the latter gentleman being resident on the spot witnessed the heart-rending scene . The aceiber . i is supposed to have been occasioned by an imprudent order given by Smith , the overman , to a workmaB named Dawson , to cIosb a door before tb ? other men had left the pit , and extinguished their candles , by which means the current of ] air was diverted from its proper conrse , and formed a reservoir of gas in the road by which five of 1 the poor colliers were proceeding to the shaft . ThiB is concluded to have been the case from tbe localities
in which the bodies were found . Thousands of persons were present during the night , but a body of noiice being present , admirable order was preserved The following are the names of the sufferers , not one EorFrriiigtogiye a correct stakfflent of the caus ^ of this dreadful event 1—James Smith , overman , ' the legs and &rms broken , and the body altogether most horribly mutilated j be was a manned man of good character , had two children , and his wife approach ing her confinement .

seven years of ¦ age . Alfred Tomkinson and Samuel Tbormon—perished in their attempt to rescue their fellow-sufferersj the former was aged about twentyone , and was of a very religious turn of mind , and of the Methodist persuasion . An inquest is to be held on the bodies , bat the . investigation is not expected- to beia ' prorracted one , there being but few persons to be examined , and not the slightest ground for attributing i blame to any one , except ( as it ia supposed ) to the unfortnaate overman , who has paid the last and heaviest penalty for his imprudence , i i
HOCHIXajjR—Cnxmcn Rates . —This week our town is placarded with bills , announcing that in consequence ! of the certainty of the parish refusing to grant a compulsory Church-rate , that the wardens of the ^ various townships will canvass their respective districts to try how much they oan collect by voluntary-contribution towards defraying the expence of sacramental wines , sweeping of the church ( of whieh it is said to stand in great need ) , bell rope 3 , &c . j We hear Bome of the Dissenters aro to have sermons preached and coUeotion . 8 made , which are to be given as voluntary Church-rates .
HAIilFAS—Shamepbl Conduct on the past of the Police . —On Friday , the 23 rd inst ., an old womac and her daughter , whose names are Mary and Hannah Lassey , haud-loom weavers , passed through tbe town with a worsted warp and weft in a bag , commonly called a " pieea poke . " Wheu arrived opposite the Court-house , they stopped to equalise the load by putting the weft into a basket which ihey badHmh them . After this , they walked as far as Mr . Blackburn ' s shop , in the Northgate , when the young- woman entered to purchase some groceries , leaving her mother outside to take care of the warp . INp sooner had the daughter entered the shop than the hyenas of the law , came and accosted the old ; woman with— we have been
watching you long eiioHgh . " So saying , they took the warp and followed the daughter into the shop for the basket , and there emptied the contents ou tbe floor . The new " Inspectors" then took the whole , warp Tvift and women , to the Waggoners ' Inn , in Nortbgate , and there commenced a second examination . To the question , " Where do you come from ! " the old woman replied "from home . " This answer so irritated and aggravated the men of the peace establishment , that they threatened to take the women to ' pripon if they answered so again . They next sent for Seed , a notorious inspector , who was not far off . ¦ In some five minutes this heroic innter of thrums and nippins made his appearance with a visage and corporation that would put a decent man to the blush . Says he , " who do you weava fori" * For Firth ' s , in Lilly-lane , " replied
the old woman .: And how many bunches of weft did he give yov | ! " Nine , " answered the good old dame . " And how many have you at home ?" "I do not really kuow , " said she , " But you must tell i or ^ we shall take you to prison . " The old lady was alarmed at these words ; . but at last told him that "he might go and ask Firth ' s , " aid they would tell him . So the gigantic heap of horseflesh and the two ravenous hyenas had a few moments consultation , when it was agreed that one should stop and guard their supposed prey till the other two went ** to ask Firth ' s" how many hanks , nippins , and thrums , the ; prisoners had . We have reason to believe that they got a good snubbing ; for they came back each banging down his head , and released the women , saying , " they had found tbeir statements correct . "
Oi » Mondat , an address was delivered in the Old Assembls Room , by Mr . S . Davis , from Newcastle upon-Tyne , on-the hardships the coal-miners are generally subjected to—hardships which we think bo one will denyjthe existence of , when they know th&t in this locality , the seam of coal is little more than ten inches in thickness , varying from that to twenty inches ; and that for working in this narrow pent-up place , some fathoms under ground , exposed ; to all the dangers of fire-damp , choke-damp , falling-ia of roofs , floods , breaking of ropes , and insecurity of machinery ; casualities which annually hurry hundreds to their eternal
home j for working with these disadvantages , and exposed every moment to death , the poor creatures do not receive remuneration sufficient to purchase for their families the commonest necessaries of life Mr . Davies showed that if the colliera would bnt be united , they had the means within themselves to put an end to ihe system of heartless grinding tyranny to which they were now exposed . By uniting themselves together as brothers , not in sectional unions , — which had hitherto failed , because of their being in sections ; but in a National Union they woa'd not only better their own condition , bat the condition of the labouring classes generally , by aiding to banich tyranny from the lasd altogether .
MAS ? CHESTER . Supposed Attempt to Dfcows a Child . —On Sunday morning , about three o ' clock , just as the Bridgewater Canal packet was starting with passengers from Knoit Mill , a woman on board was seen- to . jfcop an infant child over the side of the packet , apparently with the intention of drowning it . Fortunately , however , a man named August Finney , who was standing near the canal side , saw tbe act ,: and , rn&hing towards the packet , caught the child before it reached the water . The packet instantly got off , and the woman mixed with the crowd on board , so that she could not be identified . Information was afterwards given to the police ; and it was ascertained that the child had been given to the woman that morning , by her sister who is married in : Manchester , for the purpose of taking it to its mother in Ireland . These
circumstances were stated by Superintendent Sawley , before the magisTrates at the Borough Court , on Monday morning , wheu it alto appeared that the woman is a soldier ' s wife ^ aud was proceeding to Dublin to join her husband . Her sister stated , that the child was illegitimate ; that it was eight months old ; and thai she received it from Bury with a promise that she should have 16 s . per month for keeping it ; but , never having been paid any thing , she determined upon sending ic to its mother , who is also a sister of hers , and accordingly took it to the packet , and left it with her ether sister , the woman above alluded to . It was stated by the husband of the woman who had been keeping the child , that the other woman had threatened to destroy it before leaving Manchester . Mr . Maude said that iu this case they were bound to mue a warrant against the woman , and an officer must be sent to apprehend her .
A Man Fottnd Dko-wne » . —On Sunday morning , as Nicholas Holloway , a private watchman in the employ of the Duke of Bridgewater , was walking by the side of the Rochdale Canal Branch , at Knott Mill , he discovered the body of a man floating in the water . He immediately procured assistance , and the body was got out , and conveyed to the Flower Pot public-house . The deceased was without jacket and stockier 8 , but in other respects was fully dressed . All the articles found in his pockets were a halfpenny , a button , and a small thimble ; and there was nothing to lead to his identity . There were no
marks of violence upon the body , Trmch waB lifeless when taken out of the water , but still warm . An inquest was held on Monday , before Mr . Chapman , tne borough coroner , when the above circumstances were Btated- in evidence ; and it also appeared that the deceased was seen about a quarter before one o ' clock , on Sunday morning , going over a temporary woodenibridge at the end of the canal At that time he appeared to be steady , and it was supposed he was making the best of his way towards Deansgate . There being no evidence to show how he had got into the water , the jury returned a verdict of Found diowiied . "
Fatal Accident ra a Coal wi . —On Saturday , at the Infirmary , an inquest was held before Mr . Chapman , the borough coroner , on the body of C . Warein ^ , collier , of Denton , aeed forty-four years , who came to his death in the following manner : — It appeared from theevider . ee of William Wareing , son of the deceased , that , about eight o ' clock in the morning of Tuesday the 20 th inst ., tho deceased was at work in the shaft ot a coal-pit belonging to tho trustees of the late Eilis Fletcher , E q ., at Chiton , when a stone , weighing upwards of a ton , fell from the icof , kuocked the deceased down , and alighted upon his leit leg and thigh . It was about a quarter of an hour before sufficient assistance could be procared to remove the sion * so as to extricate him ;
and , when that was accomplished , he was taken home , and thenco to the Manchester Infirmary . His left foot , thigh , and Jeg were much cut , and part of his foot was cut off . The stone fell a distance of abont seven feet ; aud , upon examing the roof , a sand seam was found , which had caused it to give way . Mr . Tomiinson , house surgeon at the Infirmary , slated , that the de-ceased was admitted about half-past eleven , on Tuesday morning , the 20 th inst ., with the compound fracture of the ltft foot ; amputation was performed tbe same day , but he died that ( Saturday ) morning , about six o ' clock , from the effects of the injury , A verdict was returned in accordance with these facts .

Attempted Mcrder . —On Tuesday last a man of respectable exterior , named John M'Kenzie , was brought before Mr . Rushton , stipendiary magistrate of Liverpool ^ on a charge of having made a most determined attempt at Savannah to cut the throat of William Draper , the master of the bars Sophia , with a razor . It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor , that the prisoner had , until recently , been the owner of the bark , but that he had become so much reduced in circumstances as to be obliged to sign articles as a man before the mast . The bark sailed from London for Savannah for a cargo of cotton on the lOih of February last , wiih the prisoner on board as a seaman , and arrived on the 2 nd of April , when she got agronnd in the river , and made so much water that she had to be greatly repaired .

who wished ; still to be recognised as owner , wanted the captain to sign some fraudulent accounts , in order thud the game might be transmitted to the ! underwriters at home .

Mr .: Rushton observed that the charge was a most serious one , and ordered tho prisoner to be remanded until the following day .

Dreadful Destitution . —On Tuesday evening , Mr . Payne held an inquest at the Swan and Sugar Loaf , Fetter-lane , on view of the body of a male infant child , that was born prematuTely under the following melancholy : cirenmstances : —James Brotberson , of No . 14 , Kobin Hood Courc , Fetter-lane , the father of the deceased , stated that his wif < 4 being endente , was taken ill with tho pains of labour on Sunday evening ilaft . About ten o ' clock , she became muoh worse , and witness went to the union , workhouse to apply Sfor medical aid . Ho was sent to Mr . Ray , of Salisbury-square , Fleet street , he being the parish surgeon . The answer given was that Mr . Ray was from home , and witness then went to Air . Bu ' llen , of Farringdon-street , Burgeon , who quiokly \ attended , and rendered every
assistance , besides giving witness some money , be and his wife being in | very destitute circumstances . Witness ' s wife still continuing very ill , the labour being premature , and ] he was told , of a very dangerous nature , witness went again to the workhouse about six o ' clock the next morning , the child having been born in the meantime without any medical attendance . On going to the Workhouse this time , witness got an order for Mr . Ray to attend , and he then came and saw { witness ' s wife , about threequarters of an hour after he had been served with the order , which witness left at his house . Mr . A . Wfnpenny , of Fetterflane , surgeon , stated that on Monday morning last * he saw deceased aud its mother , the latter of whom was still in a very
dangerous state . Deceased was certainly still-born , and could nothavo been more than a six month ' s child . The child had op doubt been born prematurely , in consequence of tho sufferings whioh the mother underwent from destitution . The room which she and her husband inhabited had neither bed nor bedding of any kind , and the child had literally been born en the floor . The husband had been out of work for manr months , but had neverfapplied for parish relief . H e was occasionally assisted by some of his relatives , as far as they were able . Mr . John Carver , relieving officer of the West London Union , stated that , on hearing of the above horrible circumstances , be immediately visited the parents of the deceased , and gave them proper assistance . The husband had never applied for parochial relief . Witness believed that the parish surgeon was not bound to attend in any case until be received the parish order . The Coroner , after commenting in savere terms upon the
inhumanity 01 Mr . Rxj in not attending to the case until he was actually made responsible for his conduct by the servioeof the order upon him , desired the beadle to go and fetch Mr . Ray , that he might have an opportunity of giving some explanation of his conduct .. Mr . Ray , being ! from home , Mr . Kingsiand , his apprentice , returned with the beadle , and , after hearing the statement that bad been made against Mr . Buy , replied to it ] by saying that he was not at home when the witness Brotberson came to fetch him ; besides whioh it wag not usual , in any case , to attend without a parish order . The Coroner said that , in his opinion , there could be no exease for the shameful neglect that j had been shown , and Mr . Ray might think it fortunate that the child had been born prematurely ; for under such circumstances , the jury had legally nothing to do with Mr . Ray ' s misconduct . Under the direction of the Coroner , the jury returned a verdict that deceased was " Stillborn . " ' 1

HOUSE OF LORDS—Thubsdat .
The House sat only tor a snort time . 1 tie parsing of the Scotch Church Bill through committee was a portion of the business set down ; and in anticipation that on its being moved the threatened onslaught of Lord Brougham on the Earl of Aberdeen would take place , there was j a considerable gathering of both peers and strangers . But the Noble and Learned Lord ( who was evidently sufferingfrom indisposition ) was soothed by the assurance of the Eatl of Aberdeen that he had intended him no disrespect by bringing on the discussion on Monday night , during his absence ; in proof jof which he postponed the farther consideration of ihe bil ! uutil Lord Brougham is able to take part in the debate , and vindicate his Auchterarder judgment !
Sir Thomas VVii . son's | fJampstead Inclosure Bill , towards which the attention of the metropolitan public has bften strongly directed , was withdrawn for the present session , by the Earl of Egremont , who , in doing so , shortly vindicated tho motives of its promoter . | The other business wa ? routine .

HOUSE OF COMMONS .--THuasDAV . The first order of the day was the adjourned committee on tha Irish Arm 3 Bill . The House went into committee on the B'H » commencing with the seventh clause , to which there were several amendments . The first division took place on a proviso , that pending the granting of a licence tbs arms sha . ll be deposited with the police , or some licensed person . This was proposed to be omitted by Mr . Wyfie who moved accordingly , but his amendment was rejected . The eighth clause , technically termed the " branding clause , " raised a long | discussion . Lord J . Rofsell
opposed it , on the ground of its unconstitutionally , and cited the return ? to know that crime in Ireland was diminishing . He moved its omission , which was seconded by Lord ClementB , and , after a debate , the amendment was rejected , and the claus * was carried , 178 to 104 . The construction of ( he ninth clause raised a lively discussion , It professes to regulate the mode in which persons , not keeping arms at the time of passing the Act , but who may afterwards wish to do so , may apply for a licence twenty-one days before the then next sessions .
Sir Robert Ferguson moved an amendment ; and as the Attorney-General for Ireland did not seem clear on the subject , and ) Sir James Graham proposed to remedy the clause by a proviso , tho effect of which was not understood , several other amendments were proposed , to j postpone the clause , and also that the chairman report progress Sir James Graham , iu somewhat taunting terms , refused to postpone the clause , which provoked a spirited retort from Mr . Morgan J . O'Connell . Lord John Russell declared his intention of supporting the postponement of the clause , on account of the unsatisfactory conduct of the Government . Sir Robewi Peel endeavoured to soothe the House , whioh was getting warm , and said that if the course were pursued of debating every clause on the merits , it would be fatal , not merely to this bill . but to ailleeislation whatever .
Lord Palmerston , Mr . Watson , and other Members exposed the absurdity of pressing a clause , the meaning of which was doubtful to the Government itself . 1 Lord Eliot made some explanations , but Mr . More O'Fsrrali . remarked , that with nine lawyers , two Secretaries o | l" State , and an hour and a nalt ' B discussion , they were more distant than ever frera understanding the clause , whioh was a very sufficient reason for postponement . A division took place onjthe question of reporting progress , which was rejected by 252 to 92 . The point , however , was' gained ; and after about eight hours had been spent in carrying two clauses , and debating another , the House resumed , and the remaining business was disposed of .

" rich pink silk '; who could imagine , after barkening to -this detail of " Peaeockism , " that those who made all the finery to deck the royal wedding party in , are pining to death on Fous Shillings and Six-Pence a-week ! Who could imagine , that that fact had been proved ; and that it stands on record , in the Reports of Commissioners sent out by that same Majesty , —who wore for a " head-dress a tiara of diamonds ''!—to inquire into their condition . Wtio , we ask , could imagine this ; or imagine that the condition of the great mass of tho producers of wealth was so deplorably destitute , as to render it necessary for the Queen to eend her letter to " all Bishops and Parsoas" instructing them to beg from the wealthier portion of their congregations , for
means to keep the workers alive . ' The facts , however , are even so ! The " glitter" was made ; and the workers are starving . ' There is , however , this consolation to comfort us : all are not poor ! If the band-loom weaver starves , MiJBsrr mas plbstt I If the machinery-displaced cotton spinner has to stand at tbe Factory-door to beg a crust from his former shop-mates to save him from the jaws of death , Majesty has not to go A-BtestNG , —for itself ! If the helpless calicoprinters of " High Wages" Cobden ; or the glove-makers —( Majafety wore glove 8 i >—of " Plhntt to Do" Beggs , have to submit to reductions in their incomes of more than one fourth . Majesty has to submit to no reductions ! Not an inch of
" lace" less ! Not one pearl or diamond extracted from either " stomacher" or " head-dress" ! Royal limbs can sport the " richest blue satin , " and a " petticoat of white net over white satin , trimmed with silver blonde and pearls . " How right that all this should be so ! If the people suffer , why shonld Royalty be called upon to abridge itself of any , tho slightest , external ! What would Royalty be without tinsel t and if we begin to abridge , where shall we end ? What would a Queen
look like , without feathers ? or a King , without stars and diamonds ? Peacocks , without tails I Ugly , waddling , screeching monsters ! Thank God ! wa have nit come to thai I Majesty has not yet been compelled to denude itself of its externals , and btand nakedly before the world , ( m ) a JEST ( y ) . No doubt the recollection of these facts , as recorded in the account of this Royal wedding , will reconcile the colliers of the Potteries to the attempt to reduce them tO EIGHTFENPENCE-A-&AY ! How are " BtOmachers ' and " head-dresses" to be maintained
clso i But we are forgetting ourselves . We aro neglecting the " ceremony . " The dresses have so captivated us , —they were eo " fine" and so " costlt , " that we have lingered to admire them .
