The " Deserted Tillage , " has been lung , In sympathetic number * , B 5 one whoso h « p w « tw&Qs ** v * g , But nowthat sweet harp glnmteri . poor Ireland ! that bast oft beheld , Thy villagis deserted;—Beheld thy peasantry expelled , To wander broken hearted , From place * o place to « eeka thtd , The aged and the younger ; And sume unslidter'd and nnfad . Have died with cold and hunger ! The proud warpers of the land So mercy show to any , They govern with an iron hand . And trample on the many .
Bat had iky champion been the tneni And advocate of labour , He would hare gloried to defend His wretched homeless neighbour ! For he has money at command And need bnt recommed it , For the Expelled te purchase land . How could he better spend it * A good man will tome care bestow On erery thing that passes ; But he seems deaf to all below The priests and middle classes ! * He has th « power , but not the will , To raise tha low in station , Or he'd have an " O'Connorville , " "Where ' er there mi occuioa .
But I my niuion to fulfil Sing what has long been wanted . The village of O'Connorrille , By British Chartists planted . O'Connorrille ! land of the free , The patriot and reformer . The cradle of yonng liberty . Where every heart grows warmer . Bold was the genius that first plan'd That schame of reformation . There is no road but through th « land To mau' « regeneration J The Jubilee is come at last , The day of restoration ; The Rubicon has now been passed By the grand Dunonstration .
I saw the long procession starf , Two hundred vans were moving , I conld not still my throbbing heart , I felt tht world's improving . And all was managed with that skill Which man of mind inherits , That whan we got to O'ConnorriUt There seemed a world of spirits ! So bnoyant wo the happj throne , So grand the music sounded ; So gay the dance , so sweet tha song . That all was joy unbonnded . A « hoat wa » beard—a geceral cry , Can I forget it ? never !

The cottages that stand in rlew Called forth the people's wonder , And the ? the long lond shout renew , 'Twas like a peal of thunder ; All seemed in their admiring eyes The work of some enchanter ; O'Connor bid a Tillage rite , And a Tillage rose imtanfer . The grand palladium now is found On which our rights depended - , Tha sons of toll shall be unbound , And all their sorrows ended . The land—the now reconquered land ! With such snail sums of money ; Shall be to tha industrious band " A la « d of milk and honey . - " '

THE LATE BATTLES IN INDIA . AletUr from Private John Lunn , of the 80 th Regiment , to his father , of St . Leonard ' cstreet , Stamford , datad from the Camp before Lahore , on the 8 th of March , relates some incidents connected with the battles an the bank * of the Sntlej , whieh hare not hitherto been published . The following are extracts : — "On the 8 th of December , our regiment marched from Umballah to Hoodkee , a distance of 150 miles ; and on the lltb , in the evening , after a fatiguing day's march , we were engsgeB for the first time : the battle commenced at four o ' cleclc , and lasted till ten , when we were marched back to our camp , baring sustained a loss of only seven killed , and ten . wounded , On tueWtn there was no fighting . On the 20 th we started in pursuit of tne enemy , and came ap with them at four o'clock , when the British forces formed for aeti . n , and engaged , the contest beiag carried
on till ton the nixt morning ; at that time the enemy retreated , and we thought they had relinquished the con . test , bnt in about an hour after they came down upon us ia thousands , saTerely harassing oar comparatively small force : we , however , effectually rssiated them , and atfour o ' clock in the afternoon , they made a second retreat . At this time , the weather being excessively hot , and our exertions overpowering , we were drawn up to raceiverations and grog , when to our disappointment it was announced that the camel which had borne our grog had been shot , and all had been lost . We then made far the enemy ' s camp , and helped ourselves ( nearly famished as we ware ) to the bast we could find : all we obtained was flour , with which we made some cakes , and fried them . —glad indeed of anything , hunger and thirst having become almost insupportable : our officers were as badly off as the men , and in ( act got nothing but what the soldiers divided with them . On the succeeding
morning , we commenced hanging and shooting all the prisoners , which dreadful work occupied us nearly the whole of the day . ' On the 22 nd , we commenced our march towards Feroxepore Plains , which we reached in a few days , and then remained quietly in camp for a week . "— "On the 10 th of February , having received orders to be ready at a minute ' s notice , we marched out tofaee thaSikig , and confronted them at about eight o ' clock' when our big guns cracked aDout their ears , and their numerous guus about ours : ' we soon came to close quarters , and then many a brave man ' s life departed . A cannon-ball pays no respect to persons ; it will kill genarals as well as private soldiers : and ' when such projectiles are flying about , it is , every man for hunt elf ;' though , if a soldhr does not want to lose the number ef
his mess , the closer he keeps to his work the safer . 'But at such times a curious sensation steals over even the bravest , for no one knows but that the next mome&t maybe his last . At the time 1 went into the field and heard the roar of the guns , I confess that I felt rather curiously , though I do not consider that I was then , or am now . anything of a coward . It was a horrid sig ht to see mangled corpes of friends and foes , to hear the groans of the dying , and the cries for help of tlie wounded ; those who have nerer seen a field of battle cannot picture its horrors ; nor can thej know the regret a soldier feels at not being able to assist a wounded comrade . The enemy were strewed in thousands all over the field , and amongst them were to be seen the lifeleEs bodies of numbers of our brave countrymen . I had an
opportunity of seeing a great deal more of the carnage than many others , as I was sent out the day after the action , to assi » t in burying the dead , and to bring home the wounded . I am glaii to say that we lost comparatively very few of our men , although our regiment was in the thickest of the fight : by dead and wounded ire were deprived of 450 ; among the latter was Caleb Foreman , a Stamford man , who was twice disabled , but not dangerously . " The writer then mentions John ChristaJn , from Stamford , aau Samuel Woodward , from Easton , both of whom were in tbe actions , but received no wound . Lunn was hinfself sligetly hurt , and had recovered at the time he wrote the letter . A son of Abel Blades lost a leg , ( as stated in a former paper , ) and at the tim » ot tuna ' s wntinp , was in Fero 2 ? pore hospital in a state of great suffering , but was expected to rally .
Observe the Confessions which this soldier makes as to the terrible scene « of slaughttr which he witnessed ; the feelings he exptritnord . &c . "Our hi ); guns , " sa y * he , " cracked about their ears , and their numerous guns about our « . "— " WJisn such projectile * werr flying about , it if every man for himself . '"— " At such times a curious sensation steals over even the bravest , for no ons knows but that the next moment may be his last . At the time I wentinto the field ana heard the roar of the guns , I confess that I felt rather curiously . "— " It was a horrid sight to seethe mangled corpses of friends and foes , to hear the groans of the dying , and the cries for help of the wounded ; those who have never seen a field of battle , cannot picture its honors , nor can they know the regret a soldier feels at not being able to aBsist a wounded comrade , " &c . Look for a moment at these eonfesiions . Waris here presented to our view as itis , —an effective organisation for the destruction of human life . One speaks for all . Selfishness ™! s »» supreme . But the worst is yet behind—What is said of
The Prisonebs : Sow , mark S This is British warfare ! —D efensivs war ! The war which has been so exultingly said to have reflected no discredit on British kindness , but to have been distinguished by a . generosity almost unpaiallaladintho practice of war , and to haro succeeded in securing tbe confidence and admiration of the conquered Sikhs ! This is the war for which we havebeen asked to render solemn thanksgivings to Almighty God , end for which the country has been called npon to vote peerages and titles , pensions and medals ' I We have no language in which to
express the horror we feel in directing attention to this monstrous wickedness : let it speak for itself ; it dascribes the soldier ' s trade ; it records the foul disgrace ot our country ; we blush for our nature , our land , our Christian name ; we have but one predominant feeling , and that is , that " the God of peace" may in his great mercy forgive the perpetrators of this deed , and all those who by giving him thanks for this war have expressed their sympathy in the deeds that characterise it . It was bad enough to fire a park of artillery upon the drowning , but the prisoners—oft ! what of tfiem ?
" On the succeeding morning we commenced hanging and shooting all the prisoners , which dreadful work occupied us nearly the whole of the day !!! December , 21 , 1845 !!!''

—if ^— . A LOOK AT LIFE . bt chabi . es t . swain . Bells were sounding from the steeple , And the cannons from the Tower , And tbe congregated people . Were exulting in the hour ; Thus they wailed the thousands slaughtered , By that stream whose fatal shore * Saw its banks of battle watered , With a tide of human gore . These awaked my ready dreams . Of a thousand times and things . Wherein I reviewed the schemes . And the crafts of courts and kings : And the 6 imple vision teemed , WitB a picture of such worth , That , remembering what I dreamed , I would tell it to the earth . Now I saw on either hand .
How the nations round me lay : Here , a free and happy land . There , a kingdom in decay—And I turned to the Eljsian PacoratF . a of repose . To examine its condition , And the means by which it rose . On a werld , and while of peace Morning and her choir awoke ; On the bappy day ' s increase , A cousenting evening broke . Swelling on the smiling plains . Where hi * fathers were fltieit ; There the son of honest pains , Won a meed its manner blessed . And tbe free man went erect ,
And not halt , beneath the sky ; Not in splendour clad , but decked In his nature ' s majesty : And he trod the primal field , With such blessings on Bis birth , As a woman ' s heart must yield . To her son on Freedom ' s hearth . There her cry was never heard , To her God to tako her boy , And her sweet lips never stirred , But in words of grateful joy . 2 Jo ! no law was there to sever , Whom the heaven of their hearts , Had united , and for ever - , —
And a Christian statute parts . ' There the infant was not yoked To the chariot wheel of gain , Kor its midnight task provoked By tee bloody scourge of pain . Then the cheerful children rambled Gathering flowers by the way , And , like happy spirits , gambolled In tba Eden ef their p ! ay . They were nobler than the great , And were lords upon the soil ; Being born to an estate Which was fattened by their toil : Whilst who held , but held his own , And the hand but held which made "Wiat no petty power , or throne . Took , or cruihed them to be paid . In this silent solitude
Prisons there were none to see , For where all arafree in mood , Seed of these will never be . Splendid temples were unknown But the eternal shrine was there , * Sobraon j the Golgotha of the Sutli-i .

—On Monday morning , between two and three o ' clock , Mr . Richardson , a coke and lime-burner , living at Chalk-pit IW 1 , Chatham , was awoke by the barking of his dogs , and on looking out of his bedroom window saw on his premises the figure of a female , apparently with only a petticoat and shawl thrown over her , but thinking it might be an old tramping woman who occasionally slept about his place , he thought little of the circumstance . The dogs still barkine , he looked asain , when he saw the same female approach the mouth of the coke oven and suddenly throw eomethinginto it , when a bright flame burst forth from the same and appeared to Bcnrch her . as she quickly drew back , as if to avoid
being burnrd . The bent of the furnace at the time must have been inUnse , as it had been burning for eighteen hours . Having accomplished her purpose , glie hastily quitted the > ard . He related what he had observed to his wife , who remarked that most likely it was something tbe party had stolen and wantVd to net rid o '" , and under this impression he retired to rest . In the morning when he went to the oven he was horrorstruek at behol- ins what appeared to him to ba the remains of . 1 child lying - in the burning mass . The bones in shape were distinctly to be seen , but on disturbing them crumbled into ashes . They were carefully extracted from the furnace , and conveyed to Mr . Steddy , surgeon , of Chatham , but of the original it does not appear that
anything can be produced on which an inquest might beheld . The case is involved in the greatest mystry , and has produced , as may be imagined , an extraordinary degree of horror and excitement in the neighbourhood . Manslaughter for Selling Poisonous Bxrriks . — On Wednesday , at two o'clock , Mr . W . Baker , Deputy Coroner , resumed and concluded the inquiry ( which was adjourned from Wednesday last ) , at the London Hospital , relative to the death of Thomas Parker , aged thirty-four , lately the proprietor of the Victoria beer shop , Whlfcechapel-road , who was poisoned by eating a portion of a tart , made of the berry called the deadly nightshade , or the btlla-donna , which was alledgedto have been bought of a roan named John Hillard . residing in William-street , Kingsland-road , an itinerant dealer in herbs and
berries , who has been apprehended on the charge on which he has been [ remanded at the Thames Police Court , the circumstances connected with which have already been given in the Northern Star . The investigation was adjourned , for the purpose of the post morttm examination of the body , and the identification of the accused . Upon his absence the Jury expressed their opinion that the ends of justice could not bo attained by the person charged not being present to be identified . The Coroner observed that it was a difficulty constantly occurring . He would send the witnesses to Tothill-fields , where the man was , but he thought the governor would not allow the prisoner to be seen without an order from the visiting justices . The widow of the deceased aaid , that she had seen the man charged at the Police Court , and that be was the same person who sold her the berries . Mr . T . C . Day , surgeon , who made the poit mortem
examination , stated that death was the effect of the specific influence of the lella-donna on the nervous system . On the deceased being brought to the hospital the stomach pump was applied and the proper means resorted to , but without effect . The Coroner , in summing up , said , that the charge resolved itself Into one of murder , manslaughter ^ or accident . He would leave it to the Jury to decide whether they were of opinion that the accused sold the lella-donna with the knowledge of the properties of the berry , or that he acted with culpable negligence , or whether they thought he acted in ignorance . In the first case they would return a verdict of wilful murder ; in tho second one of manslaughter ; and in tbe last it would be accidental death . The Jury , after a short consultation , returned a verdict of "' Manslaughter against John Hillard for gross and criminal negligence and want of due caution . " He was committed on the Coroner ' s warrant , and the witnesses were bound
overtopnwecute . Suicide of a Female Atheist . —On Wednesday an inquest was taken by Mr . W . Baker , Deputy Coroner at the London Hospital on view of the body of Sarah Ann Drewett , aged thirty-eight . It appeared that deceased was married to a man of the name of John Drewett , who was formerly a barge master , from whom she had been living separate about two years . On Friday last lie heard that she was about to sell some furniture of his that she had , when he took it away . Last Sunday they accidentally met , at the house of a person of the name of Turner , in Tooley-strset , St . George ' s in tho East ,
where the deceased , who was intoxicated , and who had been in that state two days , threatened to drown lerself . Mrs . Turner endeavoured to persuade her against tbe rash act , when she observed thai she had a total disbelief of a future state , and that when she died , she was entirely done with . She left about nine o ' clock , following her husband , whom she abused until they reached ( he south dock of the Weit India Docks . She there pushed her husband on one side , and jumped in . She was got out in ahout five minutes , aud means , for about an hour , were eraployed to restore her . She was then removed to the London Hospital , and died there in an hour after her admission . Verdict " Temporary Insanity . "
Death from Gluttony . —On Sunday evening a man , named James Holden , a weaver , residing at Tliompson ' s-buildin gg , Pinmill Brow , aged about 51 , met with his death under tbe circumstances detailed below . It appears that a person named J . Walton , had lately opened a beer house in Naylor-street , Oldhim-road , and entertained several of his friends at the openin ? on Saturday night last . Some who did not attend on Saturday went on Sunday evening , and amongst them the deceased . They had some beef , and the deceased w « os observed to eat very voraciously . He had dispatched the contents of one plate , and being served with another containing three pieces , he forced them successively into his mouth , to swallow the first
without giving himself time even piece . He immediately rose and moved across tho room , as if he was going out , but instantly fell down , and was evidently choking , his face turning quite black . Mr . Storer , surgeon , was sent for , and rendered him every possible assistance , but be died in about a quarter of an hour . The deceased , had just before the occurrence boasted of his having but a wetk previous swallowed eleven raw eggs with , tlie shells / as many bunches of radish tops and bottoms , Ac . ; and he cat liis moat as if he could not cat last enough . The quantity ho was then attemp ting to swallow was bctweeu fir * or six ounces . Mr . tjlia Pman , the borough coroner , held an inquest on tne hn . lv on Tiioxdav . at the Notthi Khain-castle ,

THE POTATO DISEASE . EXTBAOBWWRT FjICT COffSECTHD WITH THB Potato DrsKASE . —In the early part of last year , Mr . Gwdings , who farms some land in the parish of Cleaver , about a mile from Windsor , planted some potatoes . Theyj however , were so seriously affected with the disease , that they were considered entirely useless and dangerous even to give to the pigs . He therefore determined up in letting them remain in the ground throughout the ( then ) ensuing winter and the following eprin ; , in order that they might rot and thus act as manure for the land . After
remaining in the ground for upwards of eighteen months , he had the laari upon which they were grown dug up , and to his great surprise discovered that the whole were entirely free from disease , and that every potato , without a single exception , was perfectly Bound . Mr . Giddings' crops of potatoes this year are in the same diseased state as they were last season . ' He has therefore determined to adopt the same plan ke formerly pursued by letting then remain in the ground until the spring of next year . Several of the neighbouring farmers whose crops are similarly affected , have likewise determined to try the same experiment .
East Kktford . —We are sorry to say the disease so extensively prevails as to cause the most painful apprehension that the growing crops will be of scarcely any real value . On the high , land , as well as on the low the disease ia quite common , and it appear * to be progressing rapidly every day . The tons seem all at once to flroop , the leaf to wither , and , on examining the tubers a day or two afterwards , it is easily discovered that " the plague is beeun . " Lincolnshire . — At least one-half of the potato crop throughout Lincolnshire is infected with the disease , it is generally feared that the whole will be destroyed .
WiLTsniRB . —The disease is almost universal in Wiltshire . Carrots and parsnips are also much infested . Acres of turnips , with their tops turning "foxey , " as some call them , rotting through . Onions generally infected , and , in fact , every garden production appears to have been struck with this widely and almost generally extending scourape . — It is currently reported here that a meeting of the affluent and eharitable is about to be convened at Salisbury and Devizes to devise plans to stem , if possible , or , alleviate , the threatening poverty and famine . Ireland . —The Londonderry Journal says , "We are convinced that the potato in these counties is a total failure , for any exceptions there may be must be so rare as not to call for qualifications of the expression . We may also state , which we do most advisedly—that many fields of wheat have within the last fortnight been much mildewed , owing to the heavy rains and fogs .
Dublin , Aus . 22 . —The accounts received from the country this morning are all perfectly alike on the subject of the now almost universal failure of the potato crop . Great apprehension is entertained for the . safety of the oat and wheat crop . The sustainment of even partial damage would add incalculably to the unavoidable miseries and misfortunes consequent on the utter failure of the potatoes . The Mayo Telfyntph says , that " on Monday last , upwards of five hundred poor , wretched , emaciated human beings , assembled , with loys , shovels , Ac , at Greenhills , the residence of Dominick J . Burke , Esq ., J . P .. demanding work , to keep them from dying of starvation . Their appearance and their declarations before the God of Heaven—that unless speedily relieved , they and their families would be all dead from s'arvation , elicited much commiseration from all who beheld them . " The Tipptmry Vindicator asserts that in the « ieighboHrhoodof Shinrone some of the landlords are actually seizing the crops for rent .
Savoy . —The Potato Disease . —A letter from Chambery , 17 th insfc ., says , that throughout that country the disease in the Potato crop has declared itself with greater intensity than last year . The Bishop of Chambery haB ordered prayers to be offered up in all the churches of his diocese to avert the evil . Lincolnshire . —The Turnip Crop is said to he suffering from a disease similar to mat which is deb proving the Potatobs . —A Mr . Morris , who writes from Gasberton , near Spalding , says : " On Saturday week I was induced to go amongst tbe swedes , from what I observed in some white stone top turnips ( about . half an acre ) , which I had had drilled in the same piece , but which I now found to be all rotten , and emitting an effl ivia of the most offensive kind . I thought as the white turnips had attained a very large size , they might have
overgrown themselves and decayed prematurely ; but on examining the sound ones I found them perfectly snund , not hollow . Now the swedes are certainly affected as above stated , but not so extensively aB the white turnips . I found many putting on this appearance—the leat a little mildewed , in the centre of She eye a dark appearance ; in a word , in every respect like the diseased potato . On putting the end of my stick down the eye , I could force it into some of them as much as a couple of inches ; the Bmell from them was most offensive , a kind of mattery appearance , the same as the potato had last winter . I visited the same field last Saturday , and am sorry to Bay nearly the whole of the white turnips are affected , and the swedes to a much greater extent . Not feeling satisfied , I have visited several of my neighbors ' crops , and can easily see the same disease amongst them , in the incipient state ; bein ; later in their growth , the disease haB not yet developed itself so fully .

are informed by Sir Charles Napier that blistering was successfully tried as a substitute for flogging in two corps , and he is not aware that this mode of punishment was adopted in any other regiment . The commanding officer of one of the regiments in question , then stationed in Guernsey , where liquor is cheap , determined to put a stop to the crime of drunkenness on duty , by an appeal to thehonourable feelings of the soldiers , and at the same time to make drunkenness as unpleasant as possible , but without the lash . He gave out an order to say that he would not flog , but trust to the soldier's self-respect for keeping sober on duty . Next day a man was drunk and confined . The colonel , accompanied
by the surgeon , went to the guard-house , and lels the drunkard ' s pulse . He was declared to be in a fever . Nothing ceuld be more true . He was there , fore put into a blanket , and four soldiers bore him through the barracks . His comrades all laughed at the care taken of him . On reaching the hospital , the patient was put to bed and blistered between the shoulders , fed on bread and water for a week , and then discharged cured . He was then brought on the parade , when the commanding officer congratulated him on his recovery from the fever , and sent him to rejoin his company , where he was laughed at
and jeered by his comrades during the space of » week . Many others underwent the same treatment but the joke , though very amusing to the sober soldiers , ' , soon began to be none to the drunkards . There w » b considerable pain and uneasiness—some bread , plenty of water , but no pitying comrades—no commiseration—no mercy . The experiment was completely successful . Not a man of that regiment was flogged in Guernsey from the time the men were treated with blisters ; and alter a fortnight there was no such thiDg as a man drunk for guard or parade . Now this regiment had been in an infamous state . —Unitary Miscellany , by Henry Maxwell .
Fkarfbi , Collision at Sea . — On Friday night between seven and eight o'clock , the weather at this time being thick and hazy , and occasioning a premature darkness , a dreadful collision took place off Folkestone , between tke American barque Luzan , from Treport , in the state of Maine , which was on its homeward voyage laden with quicksilver , beer , and chalk ; and the Stakesby , another barque , belonging to Chapman , of London , bound for Quetac . The result was curiously illustrative of the superiority of British shipping . The Luzan , which has been built only fire years , left the London Docks on Wednesday week , having in addition to her cargo about twenty passengers . The Stakesby , which was bound for Quebec , is a barque of twenty-five years'standing
and , as report runs , was condemned at Lloyds ' , and was held in such contempt that when spoken of by seamen she was described as a cradle brought home in arms , viz ., by pumping ; yet though the American had all the advantage of the momeucum , being the first to strike , the British ship sustained by far tho slightest injury . She merely had her jib boom carried away , and putting into Portsmouth to refit , is now on her voyage . The Luzan suffered severely . Though a new vessel her head was completely stove in to the extent » f two feet , her larboard bulwarks were completely torn away , the figure-head smashed , and all her forward iron fastenings ( some of which
were font inches square ) were twisted into screws . The first shock produced a terrible sensation amongst the passengers , who instantly rushed on deck . Just then the foremast , foretopmast , and foretopgallantrnast and gear were carried away . The shock was dreadful , and the passengers gave themselves up as lost .

On the application of a spark , the solid mass is at once converted to a gaseous state ; jyid a scientific gentleman who has witnessed some experiments in the laboratory of Professor Schonbein informs us that whereas an equal weight of gunpowder , when exploded , filled tbeapartraentwitheraoko , the cotton exploded without producing any—leaving only a few atoms ofcarbonoceous matter behind .

In her right hand was an ordinary-sized penknife , ( irmly grasped , with which she was still cutting at her throat , when he called for assistance , and prevented her inflicting further injuries upon herself .

This honest woman , it appears , had stood in the market that day with a basket of putrid eggs , part of which she succeeded in palming off at the usual market pricp , hoping , no doubt , to get clear off before the purchasers found out their mistake ; but-she had good reason to lament her dishonesty ,, for before she could make her exither enraged customers returned , and possessing themselves of the remainder of her ware , pelted her with them so lustily that she was obliged to retreat into a tradesman ' s shop close by to avoid a further infliction of this not
very agreeable punishment , which has doubtless taught her that , after all , "honesty i ' b the best policy . "—Lincolmhire Chronicle .

Corn Uiot—A letter from Macon ( Saoneet Loire ) cives an account of a violent corn riot which occurred on the 18 th instant at Chauffailles , in the same department . It appears that the working classes irritated by tbe deamess of bread , conceived the idea that an association of forestalled had bought up all the corn , in order to raise the price for their own profit , Under this impression an assemblage ot more than 800 persons took possession of the loads coming to market , and sold the grain at an inferior pric . The mayor and gendarmes interposed in vain , being beaten off by the populace .

euers to LnfideU on Charles Souiliwdl ' t Manifestations of Sympathy f or the latt M . Q . It . of the "Movement" &c . &c . &c . By Thomas Pater 305 . London , IS , Wine Office Court , Fleet Street . This pamphlet treats of a personal subject into the merits of which we cannot enter . We may , however , remark , that Mr . Paterson's statements , whether true or false , are calculated to seriously damage the party with which he has been connected , and at the same time serve the black-coated gentry against whom he has battled , and at whose hands he has suffered bitter persecution—although , if his statements be true , certainly not more bitter than the persecution to which some of his "friends" have subjected him . We have reason to believe , to say the least , that many of the statements of thesufferinp efMr . Faterson caused by his " friends , " arc true , that , although himself not blameless , he has been a wronged end injured man , and , therefore , while we lament its publication , wo admit there is much to excuse so retaliatory and revengeful a production .
