THE ILLUMINATED ilAGAZIXK-AcorsT . The present Jfo . is , we think , hardly £ < pal to the majority of its predecessors . We mis 3 those delightful papers " The Chronicles of Clovernook / ' and can find nothing in the presen ; No . fitted to supply their omission . Ent even Homer cods sometimes ; and we cannot txpeet lesser sues to shine with a cominnous and eipai splendour even in the pages of tte J' / umi--naied .

Of the latter we mnst ¦ particularly i-oiiee a ccaxming poem , " The birth of Ttnus "; - » LIch thon ^ h brief , is too lengthy for ojioiarion .

"H-ITCBCRA 3 T . ¦ Witchcraft , real or supposed , in the more limited * 6 E £ e el the word—though instances of it , so called , hid been occurring occasionally for a leng timepievionslj—was , comparatively , little heard of till neai the end o ! the fifteenth century , when Pope Innocent TlIL published a boll against it , empowering certain German Irqoisitors to search cut witches and born them . This was in the year 1484 . The reception , however , of this , &nd of the succeeding bulls oi other Pontiffs , by the church , shows , that no kind of doubt Either as to the fact or the possibility of the commission of nsch a crime was then entertained . From the PUElicatien of Innocent ' s bull , for the space of some
two hnnured and fifty years , the witch-panic , so to ; ipeak , nged with bat few intermissions , like a pesti- ** &ce thronghoat Christendom . The number p ! execu- j tons which daring that period took place in Germany * ta > e is calculated , by Sir Walter Scott , in bis article ' ° D the subject in ths Jortaga Quarterly ,, as exceeding ] rae hundred thonani . ! It is ttated , in the aame arHde , that hi Geneva , in ite year 2515 , ne less Qan 500 witches were execnted in three csonths ; a thoosand in one year in the diocese : of Cc-md , and a hundred a year on an average f 6 r some !

We have mentioned , on the aotbority of Sir Walter Scott , the fearful multitude of these executions which took place , subsequently to the publication of Innocent ' s boll in Garmany , to which country it especially related . We should add , that the victims included children ef from twelve to nine yean old , aged persons , and young women ; one of whom , Gobel Babelin , was renowned as the handsomest girl in Warizourg . In New England , towards the close of-the seventeentb century , the like tragedies were enacted , though dur ing a shorter period , on a scale truly horrible . Nineteen persons were hanged at Boston and Andover ; one was pressed to death for refusing to plead ; and the amount of these either actually imprisoned or accused , was , in all , nearly four hundred . Among the sufferers there was actually a dog—{ See the article " Witchcraft " in the Retrospedive Review . VoL Y . Part 1 , Art . 5 )
In 1728 , in Hungary , thirteen persons were burnt alive at Sigeden . In 174 S , one Maria Bensta was pat to death at Wnrtzburg ; and it is said that in Glarus , in Sirirzerland , a reputed witih was burnt so late as 17 g 6 . _( See the article already quoted , in No . XL , Art 1 , of the Foreign quarterly . ) * * . * Passing over the comparatively rare , apocryphal , and questionable instances of Witchcraft that occurred prior to tbe Reformation , together with the statutes of Henry VIII . and Elizabeth , we -will come at once to the epoch of the " British Solomon ;'' the "J > emotu > logic" of which " High and Mighty Prince ' is familiar , by name at least , to every reader . And first , as the statute against 'Witchcraft , passed in the first year of his reign , contains , so to speak , & definition of that crime as it was then understood , we may as well recite a pBrtion of it : —
»» One that shall use , practise , or exercise any invocation or conjuration of any evil or wicked spirit , or consult , covenant with , entertain or employ , feed or reward , any evil or wicked spirit , to or for any intent and purpose ; or take op any dead man , woman , or child , out of his , her , or their grave , or any other place where ths dead body resteth ; or tbe skin , bone , or any other part of a dead person , to be employed or used in any manner of witchcraft , sorcery , charm , or enchantment ; or shall use , practise , or exercise any witchcraft , &c , whereby any person shall be killed , destroyed , wasted , consumed , pined or lamed , in his or her body , or any part thereof , such offenders , duly and lawfully convicted and attainted , shall anger death . *
This was the precious work of that conceited ass , to whom the translators of the Bible with grace , mercy and peace" dedicated their work , andwhioh dedication is still prefixed to all copies of tbe " Holy Book" printed " by authority . " We presnme h was to the " Demon ologie" of the Hoyal idiot , these sapient dedicators alluded , when they referred to his "" writings in defence of the truth . " Their words are : " The zeal of yonr Majesty towards the Honse of God doth not slack or go backward , bat is more and mpTe kindled , manifesting itself abroad in the farthest parts of Chrjstecdofla , by writing in defence of the truth , which hath given , such a blow unto that man of sin , as will not be healed . " They further hope that their work , —the translation , " may receive approbation and patronage from so learned and judicious a Prince ! " Let us now see the horrible results of the anti-witchcraft pranks of the "High and Mighty" bigot : —
Within fifty years after the passing of this act , more than one hundred and forty persons , in batches of fifteen , sixteen , and seventeen each , were condemned , and most of them executed , at different places in England ; besides a large number of offenders singly indicted , and hinged or inrnt . In Scotland , it has been estimated , some thousands died at the Btake . And even in the days when Cromwell ruled , and Milton wrote , these infernal butcheries were contmnEd- Nay , -we find that even dewn to tbe commencement of the Hanoverian dynasty , ihe = ? e burnings Of women and children had not ceased ; and , that it is barely more than a eemory since the above , atrociously barbwoos , and brutally stupid act of j James was repealed . i Three thousand persons are said to have fallen victims ; to ths accusations of Witchcraft daring the Long i Parliambnt I
Trials and executions for Witchcraft continued to ] occur at intervals till the year 1716 , when a Mrs . Hicks j and her daughter , aged nine years , were hanged ati Huntingdon for selling their souls to tie deviL In 173 6 the statue of James I . was finally repealed . j Here be it observed all this was the work of priest- j craft . The priests taught a belief in witches and ' devils ; the people believed , and acted accordingly , i In thi 3 ** march-of-intellect" era , we smile at the absurdities of the " High and Mighty" donkey ; bat we should not forget that although greatly modified , the spirit Etill exists that called into being this witchophobia . True , knowledge has to a great extent drawn tbe teeth , and plucked the claws of the
monster ; bat still he breathes , and is not yet altogether powerless for mischief . In James s reign , folk were burnt for witchcraft ; in that of Victoria , men are imprisoned for refusing to believe in a witchcraft book . Siill we have progressed . The only witches now believed in are ** Cutty Sark , " and the " heliish legion" of Anld Kirk Ailoway . Thanks to gas , steam , and cheap literature , witchcraft no lo&ger finds a local habitation and a name" amongst ns ; there is therefore good gronnd for hoping that ultimately the whole system of priestly fraud and delusion , ont of which witchcraft sprung , will share the fate of its progeny , and be gathered to " the tomb of all the Capulets . " fcpeed the day !

THE CORDWAINERS' COMPANION . By toe following extract from No . 7 ( August 3 i ) , it will be seen that this publication will henceforth appear weekly : — With this Number we commence The Cordwainers ' Companion weekly ; a thing we have all along wished to de , though , in so doing , onr risks will become more than loor-f old multiplied , for , in addition to this more rapid appearance , we have ventured on giving a uniform small type , so that the greater quantity of matter we shall thus be enabled to get Into each Number , may give new claims to our determination to advantage the general cbaraoter of the Shoemaker , through the means of a Journal devoted to his interest and information .
In onr weekly issue we perceive many advantages which we have not bad the power before to avail ourselves of ; for by this quicker appearance , as well as from the greater quantity of matter a smaller type will afford , we shall have an opportunity of giving such information of either an amusing or useful cast as will greatly diversify tbe reading ; and , as we hav « a considerable library of our own , and the use of a much larger one , namely ; that of the British Museum ' s , to make use of to this purpose , so we are fain to believe that our additions in this way will , as we go on ,
prove a most acceptable feature in « u journal , it being our with , in conjunction with our other good wishes , and as one who writes in our present number has it , "to cultivate a literary taste in the minds of cur fellow-workmen ; " Its shoemaker character , however , will be the still more prominent one ; and as we can conceive no end to our resources in connexion with this tbe real object of The Cordwainers' Companion , so in the fullness of ; both these expectations , do we look forward to a new and considerable accession of supporters on this our weekly appearance .
In this No . we observe an amusing article written to prove the " Wandering Jew" a Bhoemaker ! What next ? We always knew that for innovationists , revolutienists , scmsmatios , and other heterodox worthies , the " gentle craft" was pre-eminently famed ; but thi 3 is capping the climax with a vengeance to enlist the " Wandering Jew" into the tramping corps ! Again , we commend this publication to the " trade " , trusting that its spirited editor will meet with that success he has so perseveriugly struggled for , and which he well deserves .

Riots in Bohemia . —The spirit of discontent and of riot , which , as described by us a fortnight ago , had already flown like wildfire from Silesia to Prague , has . since spread and raged destructively . Scarcely were the outrages of the cotton bpinnors and printers of Prague repressed by tho soldiery , when the workmen on the railroad near that city caught the infection . This is the statement from Prague itself : — " Towards the evening of the 8 th of this month , from COO to 700 of tho workmen on the railroad , who were also dissatisfied with their wages , collected tumultuously . They attempted to penetrate into the city by the Spitalgato , but , as was to be expected in tho present temper of the lower classes ,
it was closed . The military , sent against tho lawless crowds were received with showers of stones , which wounded many of the soldiers , and the excited Grenadiers , it is said , without having received any command , fired on tho mob . A not inconsiderable number ( no number is given ) were killed and wounded , many innocent people amongst them , whom curiosity or chance had led to the scene of combat , and in particular a little child which sat on a table in the back room of tho ground-floor of a house in the Karolinenthal . The military closed all approaches to the gate , and kept their ground till late in the night , when tho mob dispersed . In tho mean time , in the city , another concourse of the worst classes of the populace bad run together , and
traversed the city in various directions with loud outcries , and ; dashed in windows , and knooked to pieces the booths in the Jews' market . A great number of these depredators were seized and flogged , but again the following day they assembled in ( great masses , and cooled their wrath by the destruction of some thousands of window-panes . Bloody as was the result of this outbreak , the destruction of property was nothing to that which had taken place on the third in the neighbourhood of Reichenberg , the great manufacturing district of Bohemia . Iu the morning of that day a strong troop of the workmen collected at Katharinaberg on the black Niesse , three miles north-east of Reichenberg , b&fore the furthest factory on tho Niesse , and commanded
the workmen there to join them in destroying the new spinning machinery by which so many people were become destitute of bread . The troop thus swelled advanced now down the Nieese from one factory to another . All the hands were compelled to join them . As in the factories on the upper Niesse there were found no new , but merely the eld sort of machines , the mob passed quickly on , without doing the slightest injury to buildings or machinery . When the throng arrived at the factory of Herr Stephen Conig , in Habendorf , it had swollen to some hundreds of men . Here were first found some of the new machines ( bread-thief machines , as they call them ) . These were not yet fully erected . They dragged them into the meadow , and in a moment
they were a mass of ruin . Hence the throng betook itself through Machendorf , where a machine wa 8 destroyed in the factory of the bleacher Herr Ohncsorgen ; thence to Hamuierstein , where tbe . y presented themselves 600 men strong . In the great factory of Sigmund , Newhauser , and Co ., five new machines were totally destroyed and flung into th « water . The workmen suffered no injury ; the rest of tho machinery and all other property remained untouched . The awards' thence ascended the great Niease to Rosenthal , to the factory of Herr Ginzel ; broke open the doors , destroyed from thirty to forty new machines , dashed in the windows , and tore the frames from the walls . Tho looms , with the yarn ,
were rent to pieces , the wool thrown into the water , and in an hour ' s time three great weaving rooms were thoroughly ransacked , and not a thing was left standing except the walls . The loss is immense . The mob then took its way towards the factory of Herren Liebig and Co ., in Joaephinenthal , but the rumour of the riot had now spread wide . Three companies of soldiers were sent off from Jungbuz ' au , tbrte from Prague , and the regiment of Lord Wellington in Thereseinstadt bad orders to despatch a battalion . la the meantime the town-guard of Reichtnberg had marched out , and after a stout close tight with them , had succeeded in dispersing them , and taking a good many prisoners . —Atlas .
MUKDEB . DURING THE HONEYMOON . —An inquest was held on Tuesday week , in Freshford , by Mr . Wm .-JMaher , one of our county coroners , on the body of i , man named Thomas Meany , who , it appeared in oxir-£ ence , had been married only three weeks , and had then gpna to ledge in Fresbfoid . About a week s-ace Measy , weoi to Dublin to transact some business , tearing his wife behind ; on the day of his depasture a man named Thomas Lannan went to tee thoswife , aad c > U » d himself her brother .

Nine vessels Lost r . v the Tea—Letters have been received announcing the destruction of no less tfean nine vessels by the ice . Amongst them was the barque James Harris , belonging to South Shields , Mr . Jackson master , which took place in the afternoon of tbe 27 tb of April last , while the vessel was on her homeward passage from Quebec . The ship was crushed between two icebergs , and the crew , ' in their confusion to leave the sinking wreck , forgot ! the carpenter , a native of Hamburgh , who afterwards got upon the ice to save himself ; but the vessel shortly sinking , the ice disappeared with it , and the unfortunate man was drowned . The loss is about £ 700 . The remainder ot the vessels were lost some distance from Montreal—Sundetlemd Herald \
Attempted Mcrdeb , —The subjoined outrage , quoted from the Repeal papers , la the correct version of a reported murder , given on the authority of tbe Nenagh Vindicator : —' , ' About eight o ' clock p . m ., on the 22 ad ultimo , a party of five persons , unknown , with their faces disguised , ! four of whom were armel with guns , the fifth with a bayonet fixed on a pole , visited a dairy-house , situate at Ballymacady , in the parish of K'lfeacte , belonging to Mr . Leonard Keating , assaulted two of the herdsmen , whom they met in the yard , aad ordered them to retire into the dwelling , where they were followed ; by four of the party . The
inmates—Andrew Hickey , ithe steward , four men and five wemen servants , were ; at supper at the time . One of the offenders inquired for the steward , upon which Hickey rushed into an adjoining room , where he was followed by three of j the party , who brutally assaulted him , knocked him down , inflicted four bayonet wounds on hla body , one of which ( tafMcted on tbe abdomen ) appears most dangerous , and ordered him to quit bis employment in four days . An old woman , named Catharine [ Herhert , who endeavoured to save Hickey , wad also seriously assaulted , and two others of the inmatea received some slight injuries on the eccasion . " i
Fatal Prize Fight . —A short time ago , an inquest was held at Northampton , on the body of Frederick Fitzaugh , who lost his life in a pugilistic encounter with a man named Cumberpatch , commonly kuown in that part of the country as Dm Patch . The fight took place on the day previously , near Merry ' s Close . It appeared from the evidence adduced that Mr . Smyth , a magistrate , interfered to prevent tbe fight , but without success , having been pulted away by the mob . The men fought for an hour ; once they left off , somebody having said that the police were coming . Fitziugh at that time went away , and remained about six or seven minutes . He then returned , the fight was renewed , and they fought about four rounds more . In the last round the head of deceased struck against the ground , and he could not get up . Ha vtas removed and
seated against the railings . \ From thence he was about to be taken to the inSrmaryi when a body of men came up and took him away . The father of the deceased was present , but did not interfere ; in fact , he scolded his wife for being in trouble about her son going to fight , and linked arm-in-arm with others to form the ring . Ssveral of the witnesses swore that tbe father of the deceased had said , ' * that he would bring home bis son a corpse sooner than be should give in . " Tbe deceased was tatcen to too xVIilfeaiaid public-house , in Battering-road , after tbe fight was over ; ha waa then fast dying , and expired shortly afterwards . The Jury returned a verdict of Wilful murder against Daniel Cumberpateb , Samuel Braines , William Cooper , and Joseph Page ( who are net in custody ) , and John Fitzhugh—the father—Charles Coles , Edward Lenton , and Henry King ( who are in custody ) . .

Incendiart Fire at Milton-next-Qbavesend . —Oa Tuesday week , about three o ' clock , a stuck of cats , belonging to Ttioa . Collyer , E ~ q ., and standing in a field of bis on the road side , nearly opposite Milton old church , waa discovered to be on fire . It was first observed by the driver of tbe London and Dover mail , who , on his arrival in Gravesend , gave an immediate alarm . The parish engine was despatched to the spot , but -only ia time to prevent the fire from destroying the crop of thej adjoining wheat field , the stack itself being completely conuuraod . Mr . Cullyer ia insured , a man , wbo was seen to come over the gate about the time it was first discovered has been tikcn into custody on suspicion , and underwent a long examination ( private ) before the magistrates on Tuesday at the Town-hill , Gravesend , which ended in their remanding him .
Loss of Her Majesty ' s Steamer Gorgon . —The intelligence of the loss of this steam frigate , with eight other vessels , was brought over a few days Bince by the mail packet from South America , and it has been too truly confirmed by despatches subsequently received at the Admiralty . It occurred on the night of the 11 th of May last , during a terrifio storm , off the coast of Monte Video , but we are happy to state ihe whole { of the officers and crow wero saved . The Gorgon ; it will be recollected , obtained considerable notoriety at the siege of St . Jean d ' Acre , while under the cbmmand of Henderson—a shell Sred from one of her guns on deck blowing up the principal powder magazine in the fortress , wtereby an immense destruction of life took place , and the battle was brought almost to an immediate termination . On her return to England , she was recommissioned , under the command of Captain Charles
Hotham , to tbe service in Sjuth America , where ahe has been engaged up to the period of her loss . She was , wo believe , launched at Pembroke , in the year 1833 . and was a fine vessel of her class , her engines amounting to 350 : horse power , and armed with six guns . The account of her loss is reported to be as follows : —At an early hour on the morniug of the 8 ; h of May , while the Gorgon and another of her Majesty ' s steamerB , the Ardent , Captain John Russell commander , were lying at anchor a few miles to the westward of Moute Video , it came on to blow very hard from tho southward . The weather had for several days previously been very unsettled , and the appearance of the heavens indicated a coming storm . During the whole of that and the succeeding night and day , the wind continued blowing heavy , until about three o ' clock oh the morning of the 10 th , when it burst into one of the most terrific hurricanes
that has been experienced off that coast for twenty years and upwards . At the first blast an armed schooner was torn from iher anchors and driven ashore , where sbe fell ou her beam ends , and tho crow narrowly escaoed a" watery grave . Directly afterwards , three other vessels met with a similar fate , their cables snapping asunder , and driving on the beach with great force . Captain Hotham , of the Gorgon , took precautionary measures long before the hurricane commenced , by making the ship as snug as possible , and having two anchors out , but notwithstanding the vessel was soon found to be driving from her anchors . ; The steam being up , an order was given to the engineers to "go a-faead , " which was instantly done , and an attempt was made
to run her out , but the Bea ran so ternhcally high that it was impossible ; every wave making a clean sweep over the length of her deck , and washing everything overboard . Tha engines were still kept going , and thus prevented the steamer being immediately driven ashore , though little or no way was obtained on her ; however , matters continued this way until about eleven o ' clock of the 1 lthj when Captain Hotham succeeded in gaining the centre ot the bay , where three anchors were let go , and hopes were entertained that sbe would hero 9 afely ride the storm out . Such , unfortunately , waa not the case ; for ere many minutes had elapsed , the cables of two ot the anchors were found jto be parted . Her engines were again put into immediate operation , and
endeavours were made to hold on with one ancnor , but all the strength of i her machinery was not sufficient to contend against the fury of the , hurricane and strength of Ithe current , for suddenly / the ship broke away , aad in defiance of all the exei - tion of Captain Hotham , his officers , and crew » w » . s carried by . the tide high on to the beach , surroundi ; d by a tremendous aarf . It ; waa five o ' clock in t' ae afternoon when she struck , avid , but for the engir ies being kept in rapid motioa , the force with which she would have been carried ashore would have das hed the ship to pieces ; whereas , her progress was 8 iow , and the shock when she struck waa not violent . The crew and officers contrived to effect a safe Ian ding , but in what manner it is j not stated . Durio g the
whole of the night and following mornu , g the husEieane continued t&raga with apparently v icreased violence , aad it was not till Sunday bsfor a it any wav abated .

Incendia ^ 'SM » n the County op Down—The crime of rick , ° r honse burning , is comparative !; rave ia Ireland / and ia Ulster , where to a considerable exteat , the teaaat ' s right ^ compensation is respscted in cases oY ejectment or giving up of lands , there has been much tes 3 of agrarian crime than i the south or west . On this account the following paragraph from tha Northern Whig in deswving of attention . Tbe Marquesj , of Londonderry ha 3 considerable property in the u'istriot here indicated ; biii it does not appear whevaer or not the outrages 6 poken of occurred on hi . 3 estates : —A gentleman , who resides in Belfast , has informed ns
that on Sunday morning last , between Newtownards and Donaghadee , he saw a dwelling-b ^ uso and range of office-houses , close by the road , oi > fire , with a > number of people looking quietly ou » and not attempting to check the fire . On inquiry , iie learned that the building had been , wilfully fired . The tenant bad been ejected , and there was a dispute about bis claiiaa to compensation for tenant-right . Tiwse claims are held in that part of the country to be indisputable ; and it ia supposed that the burning had boen the work of some incendiary . In the evening , when our informant wa 3 returning past the same place , he saw one or two more burnings oa tha same property . "
Twbhtt Houses Coztsohed at Exeter . —On Saturday , the various insurance offices throughout the > metropolis received information of a most disastrous fire breaking out at Exeter on Friday morning , and destroying upwards of twenty house 3 , besides other property of great value . From the few particulars received it appears that on the alarm being raised , at about half-past ten o ' clock , the fire was fouRd raging in the extensive warehouse , tallow stores , and melting-house * belonging to Mr . Tackett , which were situate in the centre of that most densely populated spot in the city of Exeter , called St , Mary Arches-street , opposite the Jew ' s Synagogue . It was supposed to have originated in consequence of the foul state of the furnace flues of the meltinghouse ; for when discovered , the ftames were issuing out of acreviee in the chimney , and the fire had communicated to several tons of tallow , straw , and
reeds , deposited in the floors just above . Front thence the Samoa extended with awful velocity to other parts of the manufactory and the warehouse , which was soon alight in every direction . Tha numerous engines belonging to the city , were brought to the scene soon after the alarm had been made , & 3 well as three engines from the barracks , with about < wo hundred and fifty privates of the 13 th Dragoon Guards . The latter rendered the most important services to the inhabitants in saving their property , but the engines stood useless in the street for aa hour and upwards for a supply of water , the conflagration in the meantime destroying no fewer than twenty of the surrounding houses , some in Gardensquare and Providence-place , and the remainder ia Synaffogue-lane . The loss of property was at least £ 10 , 000 . Up to nine o ' clock on Friday night the fire had not been entirely subdued .
Outrages in Tipperary . —On Thursday week , about half-past one o ' clock , after leaving the fair held in Nenagh on that day , Mr . Edward Parker was returning to his residence at Lisinisky , vyithitt three miles of the town , on his jaunting car , at one side of which sat Mra . Qain , the lady of Dr . Quin . When within one mile from home Mr . Parker wes fired at from behind a ditch , by a fellow with a long gun , who , after the car had passed him about tea yards , fired , when about thirty slugs entered the head and body of Mr . Parker , and about three ot four struck the servant man who wag driving—two hie the splash board and penetrated it , but we are happy to say Mrs . Qiin fortunately escaped . It appears the intended assassin had his gun placed oa
a stone on the top of a ditch , and turned it round after the car passed , in order to take his aim on the flink . After the discharge of the gun , Mr . Parker leaped off the car , and pursued the villain at a short distance , but was unable to follow him from loss of blood ; be discharged one of his pistols , which missed the fellow , who fled through the fields in the direction of Knockaltaa wood . Mr . Parker returned back into Nonagh , and had his wounds , and those of his servant man , dressed by Drs . Dempster and Fletcher . Several of the slugs have been extracted from the head , but the greater portion still remain in the body . Mr . Parker , though very severely wounded , is not in imminent danger . The wounds of the servant are of a more serions and alarming
character . A short time since Mr . Parker was served with a threatening notice , and some titna before thai his steward was nearly killed by a savage attack on his return home . The supposed cause of this daring attempt to murder is that of taking , oc about to take , land contrary to Tipperary legislation . Destructive Fire , —Shortly before three o ' clock , on Monday afternoon , a most alarming fire , resulting iu loss of property , estimated by tho proprietors at not less than £ 2 , 000 , broke out in the extensive sheds connected with the rope , marquee , tarpauling , and rick cloth manufactory of Messrs . Staff and Son , 2 , Dawson-atreet , Great Dover-road , Borough . Flames were first discovered by the inmates issuing from th « shed in which the composition is prepared
for smearing the canvas used for waggon-covers , tarpauling , Sea , ; and it appears that the fire originated through the neglect of a lad , who allowed tha inflammable matter to boil over , during ( he temporary absence of the man whose duty it was to attend to the mixture . Before any assistance oould be obtained , the fire extended most fearfully , seizing with the utmost fury upon inmense piles of marquee covers , one of which was sufficiently capacious to cover 4 , 000 persons . When water was obtained streams were poured upon the blazing pile , and the effect was soon evident , the fire being confined to tha principal or northern half of the shedding . It wa 3 nearly five o ' clock before the firemen concluded their labour ? , aud by that hour no further danger was apprehended .
The Birmingham B * nk , Robbery . —Warner , the clerk in the establishment of the Birmingham Tovta and District Banking Company , charged wita stealing £ 1 , 210 , was again brought before tha magistrates of that town on Friday last , and fully committed to take his trial at the ensuing Warwick assizes .

For the finest descriptions of both red and white English Wheat an advance of la per quarter was generally required , but which the > millers were unwilling to give ; however , the fcrada for that description of produce may be considered steady at prices quite equal to those of Monday last . During the past week , duty has been paid in London on about 47 , 500 quarters of foreign Wheat . Of English Barley scarcely a parcel wa 3 brought forward . Malting and distilling sorts supported their value , but grinding descriptions were Is per quarter lower . For Malt last week ' s figures were with difficulty supported .

CLEAYE'S GAZETTE OF VARIETY—Part 5 . After the many and well-deserved commendations of Cleave ' s Gazette , which have appeared in this paper , it ia not necessary for ns to do more than notice its continuous appearance , each successive number seeming to outstrip it 3 predecessor in talent and variety . We may , however , mention a fewand but a few of the leading features of the Part before us . An acconnt of " Western Barbary : its wild triban and savage animals . " " Desmond ; or the Charmed Life " : a romance . An important article on the question , " Is Consumption Curable ?" " Libraries Ancient and Modern . " An affecting tribute of respect to the memory of tbe lately deceased poef , " Thomas Campbell . " And last not
least , a history of " The last days of Simon Konarski , " a Polish patriot , butchered in cold blood by order of the miscreant Nicholas , so late as February 1837 . Tcere is not a true-hearted Englishman in the land but should read this painfui narrative to mother , sister , wife , that the true women of our country may understand the unwomanly baseness of the &he-aristocrat 3 who so lately crouched before , and welcomed with their approving smiles the murderous monster of the North . Above all , all that aie fathers should read this narrative to their son 3 , that they may train them up in ho ^ y hatred of that vile ruling class that permitted our Island-Home to be desecrated by the presence of Konarski's
butcher . Moreover the way that patriot nobly dared to die for Poland and the rights of man , may serve to teach the "New Generation" how to make like EEcniices for freedom and their country , should fate will it . Thongh " baffled oft" in tbe fight for freedom , no man can despair of Poland so long as she continues to produce bods like snto Konar&ki . The Many demands upon oar space foibid U 3 the pleasure cf quoting any , or any portion cf , the articles we have EpeciaUy named . The reader may be assured that had he no more for his money than ths few articles we have singled out , he would have a cheap and profitable sixpenny-worth ; but these constitute not a tithe of the contents of the Part before us .

ETZLER'S PABADISE . TO THE EDITOR OF THE WOETHfiSN STAB . Esteemed Sib , —Enquiries have been made in eonaequfciica of my paragraph in your paper , concerning the country of Venezuela and the plan of settling there , to which the answer would interest a great many of your readers , whom , and myself in particular , yon would much oblige by inserting the following particulars . The republic of Venezuela lies between twelve and two degrees of north latitude , and borders at its north aide to the ocean . Its area is stated to be 450 , 000 square miles ( Great Britain and Ireland contain about 114 . C 00 Equate miles ) , its population 800 , 000 inhabitants , a chain of mountains in it runs from east to west along and close to tbe coast , the highest
moantains of -which are , at Cirraccas 8 , 000 feet , and at Cumana ( two cities about 200 miles distant from each other ) 5 , 000 feet above the level of the ocean . On tbe declivities ef this mountain chiin are all the varieties of climates to be found , in proportion t » height , from the warmest of the tropics to tbe coldest of our autumns ; only with this difference , that tbe temperature is in the same place nearly the same all the year round . At 3 , 000 feet height , for instance , the temperature is all the year between 60 aud 75 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade , equal to that of our English summers in average . In the lowest regions , the warmest , the average temperature is 81 degrees , varying hardly tver beyond 5 degrees mora or less ^—the beat of ont Eoclhh dog-days . In the latter regions , the most
luxuriant and magnificent tropical vegetation prevails , wherever there is moisture enough , which decreases as the height of mountains increase . At 3 . 000 feet elevation , there is yet an inferior tropical vegetation and European fruits and grains may be cultivated there . In consequence of this variety of climates and productions so near together , they have at Car&ccas all sorts of tropical and European fruits at once . These mountains have extensive shelves , valleys , and ravines , peed * liarly fit for cultivation of plants corresponding to their respective climates . So that there is a choice of climate of any desired gradation . On tbe south side of this mountain chain is an extensive perfectly level plain covered with thick grass , 4 to 5 feet high during tbe most part of the year , at dry seasons in most parts
perfectly dry and withered , and which serves as pasture to millions of wild cattle and horses , &c , partly owned by inhabitants . This plain is greater than Great Britain and Ireland together . In it are innumerable rivers and rivulets , and the great Orinoco . In most parts the map of it shows parallel rivers navigable by boats , at least in the wet season , only 8 to 16 miles distant from each otber , along which reigns perpetual vigorous vegetation of the moat splendid kinds . On tbe declivities of tbe mountain chain there are innumerable springs , torrents , and rivulets . The intention in the present emigration plan is to use them for irrigation and water powers to drive my agricultural machines , which will require about one-fourth of the joint stock , of shares of £ 5 sterling , of which eingte persons and small families will be allowed to take but one-half share , if too poor to pay more . Each full
share will entitle to : 'O acres , of which ten acres will form part of the communal land , to be inseparable and inalienable , —to be cultivated by my machine for the benefit ef the shareholders , and the produce of it to be distributed in proportion tc the number of Bhares of eaeh member . Bipfl member may take as many shares as be plexees . A part of the produce will be applied to defray the communal expenses for such communal purposes as the society may deem fit ; and the remainder , the greater part at aDy rate , ef the whole share , will be delivered to tbe shareholder in such modes as the majority of the society may regulate , and to the absent members as well as the present ; the former will have to give the direction , appoint their agents , &c , for having stnt to them , though they should stay at heme , the proceeds of their share . The other twenty acres of tbe share are to be private property . The object of this arraDireroent
is—1 . To secure for ever , to every member and his heirs , or assignees , a fall competence of all the physical wants of that climate , no that the society collectively , and the members individually , be disburdened for ever of all anxious cares , troubles , expanses , ot labour for ever for the mians of living . 2 . To bo sure of keeping fnll possession of the grant of land , the condition of which , according to the Venezuelian law , is to cultivate within four years one-third of it , otherwise only the cultivated pan will be left in possession ,-and tbe rest return to tbe government . The government rranta free religion , and interior management of our social concerns , choice of our own magistracy and police , and to every immigrant citizenship from the dsy of bis arrival , besides exemption from all state taxes , military and otber public services for fifteen yeaxs .
It is onr principle Dever to interfere with any matter , of opinion , as little aa with the domestic concerns of . families . We shall afford but facilities of wliiuh every one may partake or leave it alone , as he pleases , but [ ensure bis physical wants . ' If there be people of any . peculiar social or religious persuasion , they are at liberty to form for their special purposes separate branches , and will be regarded in the same light as famiies to receive tbeir shares collectively . . j The intention is to call a meeting of such persona as b&T ? e declared themselves willing to join this society , in j order to organize themselves , and make the special regulations . Then a proBpeclua will be printed andj distributed , to give the result of that meeting . The shares will be paid to a good responsible treasurer , or j some bank in London , under the control of the directory i of tbe society ; terms will be one-fourth in about two
months , one-fourth in four or five jnonthB , and one-balf before tha departure of the pioneeTB with a machine . The first term to be for the first expenses , and to send a person ( probably myself ) to that country to . &Wel along and across tbe movnUin chain between Cacaccas and Cumana , to select tfas most suitable situaticn , and obtain lawful possession from the government . Tbe second term fox the construction " of themae ^ une , uA the third term fox transport and preparation of tha temporary dwellings and garden sufficient tcjc thei whole ociety ,-within one year . The society '* fll tben hire ( if . sot bury ) a ship , or ships , to traurport tb « bnik of the society ^ tbe passage of a person may thu s be obtained for ltaa than five pounds , a jd two months provision , and of the best comforrj practicable .

IRISH INTELLIGENCE . ( From our Dublin Correspondent . ) The Liberator is a greater man than ever since his imprisonment , for he has gained in bulk what he has lost in influence . Good living has told terribly on his waistcoats , which have beon of necessity let out , though the Liberator is himself kept in for the present . Imprisonment we always said would be of no use , and it will only cause the patriot to proceed to larger measures . A letter to his tailor confirms our worat suspicious on this head . O'ConneliV coat ' s seams may Rive way , but hia proud spirit never . We have
heard that the Repeal Buttons of hia waistcoat started open while he was talking iu his usual inflated style on the subject of his country ' s wrongs , and he laid open his heart in reality with a splendid burst of nature . Gymsasticshavo been recommended to the Liberator as the only means of briuging him down , and a pole has been erected in the precincts of the prison , with a Repeal cap on the top of it . To this O'Connell clings with all that affectionate intensity which characterises the ivy or the scarlet runner . He will nerar sigh for other chines , while he has repeal in view for his grand climacteric .
REMOVING THE nOBBISH . It is the intention of Government , as soon as Parliament is prorogued , to introduce the new Sweeping Maohine ints the House of Commons to cart away those measures that have been dropt during the Session . If this be true , Herculea ' s labour of cleansing the Augeau stables will be mere child ' s-play to it .

Owing to internal corruption , the Franchise was obliged to undergo the amputation of Ivro of its members , which , mortification having ensued , hastene d its death . The pockets of 440 voters have been leh to deplore the loss of the Franchise .
