WILD FLOWERS OF SUMMER . Wild floors of summer , ye rise in oar path , On the dew-sprinkled upland ana fairy-trod path ; Ye brig hten our steps in the forest ' s deep shade , 4 nd ye meet us again in the green-bosomed glade , yrom Your moss-corered couches reflected , ye gleam j « thedoep flowing river and clear gushing stream ; Bt the bower of the lover ye gracefully wave , And ve shed yeur sweet breath round the tomb of the brave . TCflfl flowers of summer , I welcome je here , With a warmth and a joy that are true and sincere ; For I longed to behold the bright butter-cups ope Their flawers to the sun on the green meadow slope , wdd
And to ™ t < & ^ honej-bM > eagerly sip Its nectar repast from the violet ' s lip ; Then hum r « und the fox-glove , that bright blooming flower , Or hide in its bell from the soft sunny shower . ¦ Wild flowers of summer , ye bring back a ? ain -The days ere my bosom bad struggled with pain , Wlien a mother would stoop , well delighted to hear Her child lfcp your names one by one in ber ear : ind then the necklace of daisies was dearer tome Than the gem of the mine or the pearl of the sea ; life ' s morning is past , but its sbadowless hours Have thrown a . bright halo round summer ' s wild flowers .
"Wild flowirs of summer , the harsh voice of time Has stilled the soft music of youth ' s merry cbime ; And sounds that were wont to fall sweet on my ear , And can up nrigntTisions , now heealess I hear .

DOUGLAS JERROLD'S SHILLING MAGAZINE , Jclt . London : Punch Office , 85 , Fleet-Street . The portion of the editor ' s story , "St . Giles and "St . James" contained in this number , is far too brief to satisfy us . The remaining contents are below the general average , we have neither " Juniper Hedgehog , " nor the "History for Young England , " serious omissions . The best of the articles is " Ireland and the Irish , " by "A Native . " The author ably describes the miserable condition of the Irish peasantry , defends them from the many calumnious cha-wes ureed against them , shows op the causes of Irish disaffection and violence , and ( in the following extract ) noints out what he conceives to bs
THE HEMEDT FOB THE EVILS OF IRELANP . There is but one true remedy for the evils of Ireland , and it is comprised in one word—jcsiice ; justice to ber foiling , ill-clad , ill-housed , ill-fed children . She might , frith a fair claim to being heard . ask of England mercy , and a helping hand as well . From her she has received "the deep vrounds that yet rankle in ber sides ; tut let her receive justice , free unstinted justice , and rapidly will the evils of her condition disappear , and plenty and prosperity Tisit her . This ii vague - I will explain what I mean , it is security for life and property—the cant phrase of coineof her doctors , bnt not as they mean it : —security , ¦ ot for the Jordlingin his castle , he does not require it , bnt forthepeasant in his cottage ; not / or thelandowner , hat from him ;—security to the poor man for the just
remits of nit industry . There are robbers and murderers in Ireland who disturb its whole moral and physical conatitution , and prevent its progress ; bnt they are not clad tu rags or frieze , bat in brocades and broad cloth , reclining in saloons , li ving in clubs and palaces , and received and acknowledged in the bouses of the great—not the puny midnight assassin doing his solitary murder , hut wholesale slaughterers , who sweep away whole families by tens and hundreds at a time—not the caitiff : wretch , driven by penury to snatch from the traveller his gold , and trembling for the consequences , bnt men of title , noltaen , asthey are called , wresting f-ora the tremMnghana of penury the oread of life , from the toiling band of industry its lard earned profits , and doing the whole with legal sanction , according to act of parliament
To do that justice , to effect that security , the whole system of lan . led tenure should be altered—it is at present most artificial and absurd . Improvements are proposed , and they show a disposition to grapple with the monster evilof Ireland , but they are hut timberings . It ib not enough that a simple form of lease should be appointed ; landholders should be obliged to give them , by decreeing that in all disputes about land , where there is not documentary evidence to the contrary , and in all doubtful cases , the ocenpier should be deemed to be the owner . This is the case with regard to all other property ; whyis land an exception i Thus would the granting of lease * fee enforced . These snoul-i be as simple as possible , and always at tie expense of the landlord , as they would be for his protection , and not that of the tenant .
The second improvement proposed is no doubt of value ; jet is it like Portia ' s maxim , " To do a great good , do a little wrens . " There seems no fairer claim than that of the . tenant-fanner to remuneration , when at the expiration of his term be gives up his land greatly enhanced in value . He borrows it in a certain condition ; if be iraprores it while in his possession , surely he should he allowed for that improvement ; he should not be made to give bade more than he has received . The usurer who , "with his ten or fifteen per cent , requires also whatever bit debtor may have realized , would be looked upon as < ion . Vly iniquitous , yet such usurers are our landholders •—they exact for what they lend the highest possible rate « f interest , and when they get back their own , require also the vested energies of their debtors . This is mani . ietth- unjust : and yet , to do justice , government is
obliged to do an act of injustice . The tenantmade a voluntary agreement—at least as voluntary as a drowning man could be said to make with lilm who offers to save Mm from destruction—and they are obliged to step in between the necessities of the victim and the crashing influence of a tyrannous system . They are obliged to say to tfie landholder— "Prom the necessities of his condition you have forced from your tenant unjust and arbitrary engagements . TVeknowyoubavehispromise to fulfil them , but we will not allow them to be enforced . " Surely there can be something better than this I What endless sources of litigation will itgive riso to—how ineffectual is its protection 5 The tenantwill still be dependent on his land , lord , the victim of oppr . Bsion and petty tyranny , and of the fearful evils of legal persecution , one of the worst of the curses of Ireland .
Tha whole borrowing system should be discountenanced , and every encouragement and facility given to purchasers of land . The laws of entail and all the legal difficulties and technicalities surrounding its sale and transference should be done away with , and it should be rendered as easyforamau t » buy an acre , or half an

acre of land , as a cow or a sheep . The immense tract of country kept waste by the nominal titles which a few Possess to them , should be given up to the husbandman the value of those nominal tides paid , and the drones drives from the hive . When such things are done , a free a 2 d independent resident proprietary would gprj ug up . In a few years the greater portion of the land in Ireland wsuld change owners , greatly to the advantage both of the present possessors and the tillers of the soil . The country would be held by five millions of its pwn people , insteadofby £ vehundre < lforeiyner £ . Theadvantages are obvious . Its wastes would be reclaimed , its fruitfulness increased an hundred fold , i ts population would ba all busy and industrious , we would hearnothii . g of discontent or disturbance , and plenty would over-¦ pread the land . AC 1 * R ft ? Van 1-9 mm a santv . . . — _« 1 * . 1 ;__ . . _
No greater boon could be conferred on onr involved aristocracy , than to give them facilities , and urge on them tlie necessity for selling off large portions of their estates : most of them are only nominal owners , and are in reality but a sort of laud-agent to a host of money lenders and relatives . It is for such reason , and in connection with measures of a more comprehensive character , that the proposed expedient of compensation to tenants would be of value ; it would force sales , for few of our propriety would be able to pay for improvements in their lands , and therefore should sell . I do not say that this is all that should be done for Ireland : there are many other questions of importance . The Church abuse should be cut down and the franchise ¦ nd the representation equalised with' England . But , compared with the land question , all are minor matters ,
and if that were settled , other reforms will soen follow . If such measures pass , the repeal of the Union may be deferred for years to como ; if they do net , it should be granted at once . If England is incapable of geverning Ireland except by force , and with a constant recurrence to extraordinary and temporary enactments , let her give it np- We are still satisfied to pay our share in the expenses of Government , tawdry and extravagant though it be in appearance , and clumsy and bungling in execution—our share in the expenses of war , so long as that great sin of the nations continues to be indulged . We are satisfied to acknowledge your superiority—to bear your badge : all we ask is , allow us to manage our own affairs . Sooner or later it must be done—the sooner the better—the sooner done , the sooner will n real union grow up between the nations , the sooner will prosperity and happiness visit our laud , and ba reflected back on
Englcnd . We cannot lire alone , we cannoc live in enmity . England cannot be happy or prosperous while the has Ireland at her side in want and wretchedness ; her labourers and artisans cannot be fairly remunerated while there are millions here to whom their most meagre fare would be feasting . Ours were formed by nature to be Sister Islands ; not one as the Mistress , and the other as the Slave ; but as bosom and indissoluble friends , bound by the closest ties of interest and fraternity . I repeat it , our cause is one—whether it be the struggle for improved laws from the English Parliament , or for the repeal of the legislature union . An overgrown centralisation has ttammelled the exertions of Government , and , if there were no other reason than the utter impossibility of its getting through the labours it has undertaken with anything like the prudent exactness which they deserve , some of them should be shifted to other shoulders .

BRITANNIA . BI EBXEST JONES , Author of "My IA £ t , " etc . [ OurPoet ' s ^ thick-coming fancies" rather myktify and therefore spoil the opening portion of the follow , ing poem . Of the merits of the concluding portion , commencing : — Then man shall cease for aye to bend unto each sceptred clod , &c . there can be no question ; the verdict must beexcellent . ] Where England looks o ' er channelled waves , and round her circles free Old ocean ' s ring , the ring that weds Rritannia to the sea , Her foot still lingering on the cliff , ' mid the gloom of a stormy sight . Watched the spirit sad—in her beauty clad—as angels are cl ad in light .
The stars looked dusk and heavy , like eyes with tears uncast , And heaved with deep , convulsive throes the suffocated blast ; The waves were dragged along by his strong , un . steady hand , — LikeformE of lead—upgathered dead—he laid them on the land ; All folded in their foam-shrouds white , they sank through the pebbles gray , With never a track of this passing rack , like the soul on its viewless way ; The thunder growled in the distance , with a dalland smothered sound , And seized the rocks with his li ghtning arm , and whirled them round and round , While darkness , like a hideous thing , came crawling slowly nigh , With sullen march , till ocean ' s arch was fading on the eye .
Still England ' * Genius loometh bright athwart the blotted skies , And at her feet , uneasily , her lion nation lies : " The clouds / ' she said , " that shade my land , are fierce , and dark , and strong . And the night , it lasts a weary time !—the night is lone and long f Thou Lion ! lift ' thy wistful eyes ! What dreams disturb thy rest ! Thou watchest for the morning rise!—The sun has left the west : "
And the spirit smiled , tho' gathering wild , the fiends of darkness wound , And o ' er her limbs , so delicate , black slimy serpents bound ; They were fetters made of falsehood , and treachery , and guile , But freein thrall , she m « t them all , with hope in her conquering smile . Once only raised her eyes , as though to call the hoarded strife Where it lay and recked on the hearts of men , and panted to bunt into life : Iwas years ago , and , at the sign , the boldeat brow turned pale , And moved the leaves on England ' s oak , prophetic of the gale . Then fever shook the prostrate land , that heaved in
its slumbers low , Warm hopes began to glide abroad , and frozen h carts to glow ; The clank of chains was heard around , for slaves were all astir , And every thought a watchword Bought , find hands to minister : But then she saw no steady strength in that tumultuous band , And many hopes where one should he , and art / for fatherland ! The Spirit wept , the while thebeet were cast to thrall and chain . Or exiled to a dreary land across a dreary main , She turned away with sad , proud smile , their bitter lot to see , BHtlow was breathed her prophet-hope : "Come ! wait and watch with me . ' "
And long she waits and watches , till the sable sands have run , With glance as bright as the thunder light , but lasting 38 tD 9 BUD . And Btill they wait and watch , till time « nd wrong , combined , The cankered hold of tyrants old , have warped and undermined . With morning , o ' er lev A plains , a Sudden bl&ZB shall break , And dreams of olden liberties embodied glory take ; And the dead that sleep , in their chambers deep , — for a hero never dies , — Shall rise and walk men ' s minds again , enshaped in
; And one by one their signals sound "the watchers on the tower , " # Who bravely waited through the night for morning's certain hour ; And fast an answering shout shall come—from banded brothers cast , Far louder than the whirling dram more clear than clarion-blast :

We had the pleasure of visitins : this enohantmg spot on Sunday and Monday last , July the 12 th and 13 th . The estate is situate on an eminence , and commands delightful vie \ v 9 in the counties of Berks , Bucks , Surrey , and Herts . It is bounded by a rinst fence , and has a wood on each of its four sides , which adds much to its picturesque appearance , and gives variety to the scena . Mr . O'Connor accompanied us through the estate , a mile and a quarter in extent , and appeared to take great pleasure in explaining every thing connected with the beautiful " Chartist villas , " ( for they are much more like the "villas " erected for retired tradesmen , a short distance from town , than the present habitations of the sons of toil ) which are in the course of erection under his immediate superintendance as the happy homes of some
of his Chartist brethren , who have had the eood sense to enroll themselves shareholders of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society . Each cottage is built of the best material , and the comfort , convenience , and happiness of the occupant appear to have been the chief study and care of the designer . Whilst the physical comfort of the intended occupant lias been so well cared for , the mind has not been forgotten , as each house is fitted up with a neat and eleeant library . The entrance to each house is by a side dorir , thus one door answered all purposes , which economises the " funds , " but should any allottee desire to have a front door i or entrance , it will be very easy for such allottee to elongate his window , a la Francaise . level with the little lawn that adorns the front , and he will be at once possessed of a residence
that the choicest sprig ofiaslnon" might envy . The situation appears to be remarkably well chosen , and from the absence of market gardeners in the district , and its proximity to the 'markets of Watford , Uxbridge . and the easy means of reaching the great metropolis , we fearlessly assert that each allottee may realise a competency by gardening alone . To those who are sceptical on the point , whether two acres will be sufficient to support a man and his family , we cordially commend them to pay a visit to Herringasate , and when they seethe allotments laid out , satisfied we are that they will agree with ns , that two acres will be quite as much as they can
cultivAte , and will produce amply sufficient for the maintenance in comfort of a man . his wife , and family . We were much pleased with the fraternal feeling which pervades , in an eminent degree , the bosoms of all employed on " the People's first , estate , " and equally delighted at the ptorious spread of democratic sentiment in the neighbourhood , as evinced by the numerous and respectably attended meetings at Chorley Wood Common , and at Ricltraansworth . As we took " one long lingering look behind , " we found ourselves shouting most lustly , as we are sure all our readers will do— " Live the Charter—Flourish the Chartist Co-operative Land Society .

THE LAND ! THE LAND!—GREAT MEETING ON CHORLEY WOOD COMMON .
The dircctor . 1 of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society having resolved that the people lining within a few miles of the " people's" first estate should not remain in ignorance of the principles of either "The Charter , " the " Chartist Land Society , " issued bills for convening a meeting for Sunday afternoon , July the 12 th , on Choriey Wood Common , an area comprising three hundred acres of land , ind right gladly the villagers availed themselves of this opportunity of obtaining '' useful knowledge . " At six o ' clock , when the chair was taken , the number present exceeded five hundred persons , ( indeed , we have heard the number present computed at seven hundred , ) including several substantial yeomen , with their wives and children in their chaise carts , and also a few of a still "higher" cla = s in more costly vehicles . A more orderly or attentive audience we never had the pleasure of witnessing .
Mr . Henry Cullingham , the foreman of the works at " The People ' s estate , " was unanimously called to the chair , and briefly opened the proceedings , stating that , from his knowledge of the pesple , from working amongst them , he was quite sure they would be sis decorous , as orderly , and pay as much attention as they would in any church or chapel . lie had tho pleasure of introducing Mr . John Skelton , of London , to their notice . Mr , Skelton said , a public meeting of any kind was , doubtless , a novelty down here , a meeting ; for the great and good purpose for which they had assembled especially . The men who were now the chosen leaders of the people , had seen pen grow rich on their fellow-men ' s labour , aad roll in luxury , whilst they ( the workine-men ) who produced
everything had but a small share of that wealth they produced bo profusely , and on the smallest accident , occasioned by illness , or other misfortune , were driven to the Poor Law Bastile , and separated from the wife of their bosom , and the children of their affection . ( Hear , hear . ) They ' said these things were wrong , and must be redressed — ( Cheers)—they , therefore , resolved to investigate these matters for themselves , and seek out the remedy , and this meeting was called for the purpose of . laying the result of that investigation before them , and implore their aid in applying the remedy . ( Cheers . ) They ( the meeting ) bad doubtlessly heard of a body of men called Chartists , and perchance had been warned to have nothing to do with those men , or they would contaminate them , and fill them with poisonous
doctrines . ( Laughter . ) He knew those who lived in idleness thought it their duty to keep them from a knowledge of their rights , and the means of obtaining them ; but he was most happy to find that this " crafty device" had failed , and that such numbers had come to be " contaminated , " and right glad was he to have the opportunity of being the " contaminatcr" or _ teacher of the principles of liberty , peace , prosperity , and universal happiness—( Loud cheers ) and the adrninislratoi 1 of thai moral " poison" which would teach the working man to live on his own land , by his own labour , without the fear of poverty or its effects , "none daring to make him afraid . " ( Loud cheers , ) The people were not represented in parliament , and consequently were compelled to bear any burthens their oppressors were pleased to put on
them . ( Hear , hear . ) There was a plan by which wealth could be amassed , and hapnincss promoted , without the destruction or spoliation of one title of property now in existence . ( Hear , hear . ) He would tell them how this was to be done . Suppose any w . irkine man in the town of Riekmansworth had lived hard and thereby hoarded a few pounds , and he wanted to buy an acre or two of land , he might apply to the lord ol the manor in vain , he would not help him to it ; no , not even though he offered ten shillings per acre more than others would give were it put up by auction . It would be useless for the working man in his individual capacity to enter the ' mart , bis capital would not be extensive enough , he would want to purchase by retail , and there land is < mly wW bj wholesale —( Hear , hear)—welJ , then ,

Christophrr Dottu , a member of the board of directors , said , VV « hare convened this meeting in order that we might have the opportunity ot submitting to it a question of vita ? importance . Too true it was that the- People Jiad 6 een lone ; and grievously oppressed—they have , as our friend Skelton has told you , produced all the wealth iff existence , whilst they have been deprived of that just ahare which God and nature intended they should hare enjoyed . ( Cheers . ) Scripture said , " He who will not work neither shall he eat , yet , in defiance of this injunction , do wa find the useless and indolent living in luxury , whilst ; the honest , industrious , ingenious artisaw , by his hard toil can scarcely obtain ' food of the corniest kind , for himself and family . ( Bear , hear . ) And then , inr a moment of difficulty , or when old age crept on him ,.

( Loud cheers . ) The People were unrepresented , and uncared for , pn& hencfr the necessity of their taking their affairs into tfieir own hands , and caring for themselves ( hear , hear ;) obtaining representation and protecting themselves . ( Cheers . ) Feeling that the " © hartist Executive " had fearlessly proclaimed the great principles of Democracy , the Political Equality of Man , that all ? men are brethren , and all women sisters ( loud cheers ;) and that these principles alone would . produce universal , peace , prosperity , contentment , happiness , and brotherly love ( great applause ;) whilst class-made laws tended to wretchedness , misery , disease and death . ( Much cheering . ) Mi * . Doyle next showed the great progress made by the Chartist Co-operative-Land Soeiety , and sat down , amid much applause , by moving the following
resolution;—That this meeting has heard the principles of tho ChartUt Co-operative Land Society explained with much pleasure , and hereby pledge themselves , to aid and assist in the promulgation of the same , by every means in their power , Mr . Eduokd Staixwood ' , in seconding the motion , said , they did not appear there in a sectarian character , neither as Roman Catholics , Methodists , Dissenters of any kind , or Church of England men , but as Philanthropists , determined to do all ihe good they could for themselves ( and fellow-men . ( Loud cheers . ) lie fully expected there were some who thought they ought to have selected some other day for the purpose , but was it not written , "that it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day ; " and again , " if any man among you having an ox or an ass fallen into a pit , will he not pull it out ? " And was not man fallen into the pit of misery , want , and destitution ? then how much more would they be justified
in raising and elevating their fellow man from the slough of despond . ( Much applause . ) The name eiven to their society was , " The Ghartj » fc Co-operative Land Society "—perchance that meeting might not have had an opportunity of hearing the principles of that Charter explained , from which "The Land Society " had derived its namb , and if it met their approbation he would attempt to explnin them . The speaker then entered into an elaborate exposition of the six points of' the People ' s Charter , " and also of the principles of " the Land Society ; " showing how the humble labourer , who now slaved and toiled for seven or eight shillings per week , might work out his own redemption , by his humble contribution of J 62 12 s . in weekly instalments of Threepence each ; and invited those who had not witnessed their "first Estate" to immediately see " Herringsgate , " and sure he was they would immediately proceed to enroll themselves members of the Chartist
Co-operative Land Society , and thus work out their own , their wives , and childrens' redemption . Mr . Stallwood resumed his seat amid much applause , and again rose to request any one that had any questions to put relative to the society , to do so , and to assure any gueriest that he would meet with a willing and respectful answer . ( Cfaeers . ) No person appearing to ask any question the motion was put , and carried by acclamation .

AN APPEAL FROM THE CHARTIST OF BIRMINGHAM TO THE CHARTIST OF GREAT BRITAIN , ON BEHALF OF MRS . RODERT 8 . WHOSE HUSBAND IS NOW EXILED FROM HIS NATIVE COUNTRY . Brother Chartist ' s , —tn appealing to you on behalf of Mrs . Roberts , the wife of Fraecis Roberts * at present an exile from his native country , we are not unaware of the position in which wo stand in soliciting your pecuniary aid , for the object of sending her ami her two children to an affectionate father and kind husband , and thereby in a small degree to lessen the punishment , and console the feelings of one of the victims of whig oppression . _ Had we any alternative we should not at such a time solicit your
aid so soon after the noble response made on behalf of the Martyr Frost . For some time it has been in contemplation to send Mrs . Roberts to her husband , so much desired by him and approved by'her , and now all tUat stands in the way is the pecuniary means . We were impressed with the idea thatthere was sufficient benevolence amongst the liberal and humane gentlemen of our own Town to have accomplished so good an object , but we are sorry to say there is no probability of a sufficient sum being realized here , although there is but one opinion as to the innocence of poor Roberts . The sum required including all cxpenccs is £ 30 , about £ 15 has been already collected here . Although a large sum , amongst the many it is comparatively nothing ; put your fihouh ' er therefore to the wheel , send a small sum from a few places , and the object will be accomplished .

* Memorials have been sent to Lord John Russell during the time he was Home Secretary , also to Sir James Graham , by 12 respectable individuals whe made affidavit on oath that Roberts was nol present at the bull ring burnings . Although there was but one evidence against poor Roberts , they could not see sufficient grounds to solicit her Majesty to grant a free pardon to the victim . We have seen a letter from the employer of Roberts , in New South Wales , where he states that if Mrs . Roberta wi / 1 come over , he will allow him the use of twenty acres of land and the shop , and tools , where he now works , upon condition that he does the jobbing work , which Roberts considers very trifling .

The Chinese geographer has arranged the- earth quite in his way-: With him there are no isthmuses , no peninsulas ; the isthmus of Sue * is replaced by a magnificent arm of the sea , which detaches itself from the Mediterranean to fall into the Red Sea . We see nothing of the isthmua of Panama , and . the two seas on that side
are connected in the same way . There are neither Pyrenees or Alps ,, and hardly are * the vast mountains of America indicated . On the other hnnd , however , China is liberally dealt with by the geographer ; for upon this point it occupies not Jess iJian tJiree-qsartera of the whole globe .

The Ex-Duke of Brunswick . —Brunswick , July 5 th . —According to accounts received here from London , there is no doubt that oar former Duke Charles has purchased the German London Journal lor 6 000 or 7 , 000 dollars , and takes a very active part in the composition of it . Some numbers have been received here , and are read with mueh interest , as tllOy Contain Various articles on our situation . In OHe of the latest numbers we see that DuUe Charles must have renounced all thought of recovery of possession of our duchy by force of arms , a notion
which it is well known he once entertained . Many readers , doubtless , rcmembor that about ton years ago he made preparations in France , had uniforms got ready , and appointed a Pole to the command of his troops . The expedition was not , however undertaken . There was , in fact , no prospect whatever of success ; and if we are not mistaken , the Duke was involved in a vexatious and expensive law-suit . The uniforms have been lying for some years in London , and the Duke is now desirous of getting rid of them . An advertisement in the German London Journal
announces that C . O 0 O complete uniforms , quite new , are deposited at the office , and are to be sold for 12 , 000 pounds sterling .

This unfortunate event ^ perhaps , without example m the annals of duelling as the laws of honour prescribe to seconds the immediate Cessation of the combat the moment blood fiaa been drawn by either -of the principals . But on the present occasion the two seconds , subalterns in the above-mentioned corps , and very young men , al . lowed themselves to be intimidated by the deceased , who to great physical strength joined considerable proficiency in the use of the sabre . A very trivial dispute was the cause of the encounter , and on
separating the previous day , the officer who fell assured 1 mb adversary thai he would kill him on the morrow , advising him to make his will or not fight him . The first wound he received was on the right hand , which exe ? ted him to such a pitch of frenzy , that ort the seconds attempting to put an end to the strife , .-he sworo he would run ther first mart through whointerposed between him and-his foe , and consequently the seconds permitted these two officers te fight to tko death , contrary to all the laws of humanity and honour . What Is worse , It appears that this unfortunate was abandoned at a moment when prompt succour might have stopped the hemorrhage of his wounds , and perhaps savedhis life . General Harispe , commanding the military , division ol the Basses Pyrenees , justly indignant at the conduct of the two seaonds . sent thein > under arrest to the citadel , whero thay will remain in confinement until the decision of
the Minister of War is known ; The surviving principal is to be tried by a court-martial .

The flight reaehed England about twelve o'clock at noon , and dispersed tJteinselves inland and along shore , darkening the air as they went . During ; the sea-passage of ' tHe butterflies , the weather was calm anri sunny , witfi scarce a puff of wind stirring ; but an hour ov so after they reached terra"firrna ifc came en to blow great guns from the S .
