The name and genius of Thorn are well known and universally acknowledged ; many of the feeling and pvhetic t fusions of his muss have been brought before fcha public , not only in acotM-bmedform . but in various periodicals . His talents attracted the attention of the ablest judges ; and the Messrs Chambers , in their Journal . haTe devoted a chapter to his autobiography , and to that favourable me « d of pralSS to which they considered his merits entitled . The life of William Thom has . indeed ; combined the vicissitudes of & humble child of the Muses , having formed a scene of trials and disappointment accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and distress .
Many of his earliest and best years were passed at the Hawkhil ! of Dundee—the remembrance of which seemed deeply impres-ed on his miad ; for thither , to u « e his own emphatic language , ha wished to return , like a bird that flatters round her foraaken nest , to spend his latter dij 3 in comparative peara and quiet . His wishes were fulfilled ; for not many mentns ago he did return from his wanderings , debilitated and impoverished , and breathed his last on Monday , the 28 vh of February . He has ' leffc a widow and three infant children , tb . 9 youngest bat five months old , totally unprovided for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fund , in order , if possible , to afford them permanent assistance . A Committee has been
appointed , who have cheerfully undertaken thisduty , and already they are happy to announce that _ their call has been responded to in a prompt and liberal manner . Lord Ktnnaird , Lord Jeffrey , Messrs Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambere , and many others , hare spontaneously sent their csntributions ; and it is earnestly hoped that the charitable and the admirers of native genius and unobtrusive merit will support and encoura . se the laudable object which the Committee bare in view .

DEATH OF WILLIAM THOM , THE INVERPKY POET . TO THE EDITS * OF THE DUSJD 1 E CODXIEB . Dokdbe , F . broarj 29-h , 18 tS . Sec , —Tho painful task has been deputed to me of annonncing to the pnbl'C the death of William Thom , the Iaverurj poet . For some time put be had been U delicate end deelin ' ng health ; and hi « dijtassd state of body wag doubtless aggrarated by she uncertainty of his circumstances , and the consequent anguish of his banonr&ble and seniitiva mind . Yesterday , In our city , at naif pact eleven a . m ., he departed this life . He has left hshin' 1 him something more than a name—some true and beautiful Btraine , which , as' a thing of -benuty is s
joy for ever , ' the world will not willing y euffsr , like the inscription on tbe coffin , to bs buri » d in the tomb . He has left behind him , alas ! something of yet tenderer and more mournful interest—a widow and three children , the eldest of whom is only four years , and the youngest bat a few months old . These are ' utterly destitute , ' and but for tke kindness of ene or two private friends , mig ht hive been cast out ere tins Ift the charily of : the streets . I make no appeal in behalf of tha poet himself ; * After life ' s fitful fsrer , be Bleep 3 well . ' He has found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed waaderer will si last find , And which to him was peculiarly gratefulrest . Hor will I indulge er express any rindictlve feelings as to the treatment which he receired while yet s ! ire . A . true poet , he met with truly poetic usage . He ksls caressed , hut not fad as if one could sup on incense , or ss if one public dinaer could keep a man alire for years ' . But I would bespeak general sympathy in behalf of hii destitute family . I wonld implore erery
lorer of literature—everyone who ha * derived pleasure from the departed poet ' s lyrics , or from the simple story of his life—to prove their pleasure asd their gratitude true by some mora substantial evidence than exclamations or tear * . I would call especially upon those who gaw him at our late Watt P * stir&l , and heard almost his latest breath given for A in those brief , broken , but thriU Iin ; accents—accents bow far superior to the measured cadences of rhetoric—to testify bj generoui deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was thepri-Tilege cf meetisg with and hearing him for the last time . Xo time ought to be lost . Indeed , no time has been lost . Intimations to the abore effect eitaer have been , or are ioimediately to be , despatched to X > jug \ ss Jerrold , Charles Dickent , Lord Jeffrey , and otheri . But as Dundee has bad the honour of containing his deathbed , let US fallow the start ws have accidentally gained by insUat , active , itfenuoni tfijrts in behalf of his widow and Mi fatherless bsirni .
Hessrt Chalmers , Hiddleton , and Shaw , booksellers , and Mr Wells , pirfumer , feave kindly undertaken to roceive donations . The smallest sum will bs welcomed .

CONTRAST BETWEEJ ? TWO STATES OF SOCIETY , 0 * B EHA . NATINO FROM THE LAWS OP MEN AND THE OTHER FROM TEE LAWS OF NATURE OR GOD . There are not many men and wonun whoae minds have been so expanded as to ba enabled to grasp the whole arrangement and coHaequences of two totally different and opposite systems for forming the character of maa , and of governing the humin raca , and then , with . out the prejudices ef latitude and longitudei draw » just and unbiassed comparison between them .
Yet such are ths minds required to form a rational conclusion between two opposing systems for the govern , ment of mankind—between two distinct states of human existence , oae emxiiitiug solely from the laws of men , opposed to facts , and ths other prooeediog from the laws ofx / d , oqataiued through all past ages by every knavrn fact . The one has desolated the world with wars , violences , contentions , and iwpulgit ? a feelings , proilleing endless crimes , and their conseqn nt miseries . It is calculated
toeff .-ot these results . The other will produce knowledga , unity , charity and ever increasing prospsrity . It possesses the power and capacity to insure to all these permanent blessinjs . Wnensver the prejudices of latitude and longituda can be overcome , the extraordinary differences between tbesa opposing systems for the government of tho worll , cannot fail to maks a deep and laitinj Impression upon all who shell give their situation to the subject . Tha difference may bs thus shortly stated : —
1 . The system which bat emanated from the lans Oi men cultivates , ani very imperfectly , a am ill portioa only of the power a and faculties ef the feumm race . 'i . It fives such aa injurious direction to the exercise of these faculties , as to produce a most imperfect character , physical , mtntal , moral , and practical , in all ; while by a right elucation and direction ef all our faeul . ties andpiwera , with much Ujs cast of capital , labour , an 4 good fetlin ^ , s very superior character may be iu-Eured to each iu ^ Widuil , 8 . This system prevents the creation of an enormous amount of tkjmo 9 t valuable wealth , and produces , with a large capital , and great , savers , disagreeable , and uaheBlthy manual labiur , a mach smaller amount of wealth , and gensrally of inferior qualities .
4 . It distribctes this wealth in the mwt UDjust , - efficient , injurioBJ , and expansive minaor . 5 . It has created , an ! now suppjrta , over the world , opposing sfBtems of stsprrstition , at a most extravagant e = p * ndlitif 4—sygUmi which derange tho humin facul . ties , and compel men to act unjustly , unkindly , without charity for human nature , and moat irrationally , to the Injury of all , and benefit of none . 6 . It supportB codes of laws , based oa ignorance , and supported sit an enarmens waste of capital , talent , and honesty , opposed to God ' * laws , and thereby creates universal disorder and csnfusion .
7 . It creates and supports the spirit of war , and carries its erils to an extent tnat b = > fa s all attempt ! to place them with the vividness of truth b-fors the mind ; for war is not only the great demoraliser of man , by making bruta force the highest honoured power which he po « - Besses , but i : destroys the means of existence for millions and gives a false direction to the physical and mental energies of humanitj , H id the mtions of the world but a correct knowledge of the lass and Bufferings created bj taeir armies and aavies , there is not one individual , prince or peasant , civil or military , who would not abhor the error , aad use his utmost endeavour to terminate for evar all motives for war .
8 . This old system , by its innumerable pbytical and mental errors , fills the world witb disease and accidents ; and , while kespin ; the mass of the people ia worBe than brutal Ignorance , randars tha medical profession , like tha previouily named professions , necessary to maintain She system . - The less by the productive and educational powers of society , by so many naturally talented individuals being engaged in thlt profession , and BO placed as to have an apparent interest in opposition to their fellewi , is not only a great evil , by preventing all parsons being 80 trained ani educated ai to become tbei r own best physicians or health advisers , but also a very large pecuniary loss is thus sustained annually by society .
9 . This old system hai created and supports tha most vicious system of producing and distributing wealtha system by whfeh man is greatly demoralised—nil beet faculties being continually occupied in mercenary speculations to obtain money : first , to purchase those things necstsary to a comfortable support of a . faaily ; and , afterwards , to acquire p jwer and iafluence in society , to be applied for Individual purposes , regardless of the inttreitB Of Others . The pecuniary loss by tbis erroneous arrangement Is more than sufficient to insure permanent prosperity to the whole of society .
10 , This system , so long as man shall remain so inssne as to support it , ia opposition to the laws of God sHd to tbe highest and beBt interests of their race , , will permanently keep tbe inhabitants of the world disunited and oppaaed is each atha * > will for ever prevent tha introdaction in practice of universal charity or kindness , or a good , intelligant , and rational character being formed for tha human race . This is a true description , without exaggeration , of the present system , which , through the waat of an education based on true principles , is now supported in opposition to the introduction of a system based on the laws ef Go } , that would secure to themselves , In part ( butfaUy to their children ' s children , to tho end of lime , the most important permanent advantages : —
1 . Became in this system , based on the law * of God , all the faculties and natural powers ef all individuals will ba wall cultivated and duly exercised , from birth , In proportion to their strength and capacity , and thus will thsy ba mads of great valua to themselves and society . 2 . Becauss it will gira a nsturaJ , and , therefore , a right , direction in practice to the organs , faculties , and powers , of every individual , in order that they may be at all times exercised to the point of temperance , to seeure their physical and mental health .
3 . Bscausfl , by this training , edueitian , and exercise of the physical and mental powers of every individual , such a character will ba fornnd for each , that the necessity for any of the professions will gradually diminish , until they entirely cease ; and thus , besides overcoming tbe enormous amount of deception , error , an ! crime , with their consequent misery , which these professions now hourly produce throughout society , there will be vast masses at " ' wealth created , vfhich these profeseioBB now waste or prevent being produced . 4 , Because , under this syBtem , by a simple and beautiful arrangement , ft surplus of wealth , all of superior qualities , will be mmaUjpraducat , with great pleasure and advantage to the producers and consumers of it .
5 . Beciuse this wealth , so produced , will be ditlributea with little trouble or expense most beneficially for the advantage of all , and to their entire satisfaction . 6 . Because , UBder this system , realities , and no * mysteries , will occupy tha attention of ail ; by whick change , more valuable knowledge will be elicited among mankind in one year than has yet been usefully ict ? oductd in a century , 7 . Because , under this system , justice will tats-the placo of tow ; and all differences , if it be po 3 si ' jl * -for
euch to arise in a stats of society based on the laws of 601 ) , will be promptly , decided by arbitration , without expense to either party r and with a view also ts > permanent reconctlment * Individual punishment acd reward , after the present generatloa shall have die 3 > and every one shall have been educated from birth it > tbe principles and pracsises of this new system , will to- altogether unnecessary , aa well as . prtjaaicial and mcsJ unjuit , and therefore nyren adopted . The only eode of laws ia this system wsSbe Nature ' s laws , made plaia to all , easy of adoption ^ and always beneficial in practice .
8 . Because , oader tbis system , war cannot exist . T ' aere will be no motive for it ; for man will be cordially ¦ united to maB , and nation to nation , throughout the earth . All will be made too wise not to perceive the gross immorality , extravagant waste and loss of property , and utter madness of war , or of party or individual divisions , to give the slightest encouragement to either of these evile . And thus incalculable wealth nil beeaved to the irorld ,. &x- Uis use of its inhabitants . "t _ .., r .. .. .... oi " '" . I * ¦""' ¦ » ~ 'T- ;' , « 5 ¦ 'J

9 . Because , under this syitem , AeaKft wilt take the place of distate . The oamei of disease willi be greatly reniovedfaf from the whola of tha populatlouv da may ba discovered by the Inspection of the practice arrangements proposed , and the mode of conducting' tbe buai . ness of life , by those ao placed , trained , and educated . 10 . Because , under this system , a superior' mode of producing and distribut ' ng wealth , in groat abundance , without creating any motive to falsehood or deception of any UJnd , will be adopted , and by which the interest , prosperity , and happiness of all will ba essentially promotel , and wealth and power wlll b * no longer objeoti of contest between individuals and nation ? .
In short , the diffarenoe between the two system , ia the difference , as previomly state ! , between truth and falSehjOd , health and disease , morality and Immorality , wealth and poverty , union and disunion , or misery and happiness ; or between a very inferior aad a very superior atate of t ) Uman esistonca . Un-ler this view , it must ba evident ti those whoso experience enables them to grasp , a mora extended subject than has ever betn presented to tho h uman mind , that tho difference between the two syatems « not to bo estimated in dollarB and
cents . Bat even in tbls respect there can be no com . narisoa ; for the yeneral economy , from what has been said , must ba upwards of ninety per cent , in its favo ar : but with respect to tha formation of character , and the onjoyraent of superior happiness , there can be no comparison . The oas is practical , natural , rational , and true ; ths other unnatural , irrational , and false ; the one has pro ducad evil continually , the other will produce gO » d only , Robert Ovtek .

THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT OP SOCIETY . The diffjrjnoo between governing a population whose character has Wen baaed on th « laws of Hakura or of God , sad one nhesi character has bjjn based on the laws 0 / mm , will prove beyond present estimate . The period for introducing a system of society based on the laws ot" God , for remodeling the chartwtcr of man , and for governing the population of the earth in peace , unity , progressive improvement , and happiness , is near at hand ; ani It i * evident , from the signs of the times in the four quarters of the world , that no human power can long resist the change , The governments ia all countries will soon be compelled in their own defence to adopt this superior sys . tern , to prevent their being involved in anarchy , waro , and ruin , from withia and without .
This change will root up and utterly destroy the old vicious aad miserable system of ignorance , poverty , individual competition , and contest , and of national wars , throughout the world—a system baied on men ' s laws , iu direct oppositioa to tho most palpable facts . Instead thereof , this change will introduce another system , in accordance with all facts , based on the law . ef God . creating an entirely n ; w mode of human exigence , in which competition , strife , and wars , will cease for ev « r , and all will ba trained from infancy solely to promote each others happine 94 .
This system can be tbe best commenced by convincing governments of the truth of the principles on which it is founded and governments , by tbo adoption of right measures , are as capabls of conviction as other claseeB of individuals . Third must ba , also , a sufficient number of Individuala uni'ed , imbued with the gonuiae spirit of univerB » l charity , aff-ction , and philanthropy , and instructed in tbe best mode of applying these virtues to practice—virtues which can emanate alone from a full and earnest knowledge of tbo laws of God . Tliey must likewise possess patience and perseverance to overcome all tbe' obstacles which the prejudice * created by the laws of mea will oppose to their progress ; and , above all , they must be united , have fu ' . l confidence in each other , and ba directed by one heart and one miad ,
Under the system formed upon and governed bj the laws of men , the great majority of tho external clreumstances created by man are of an inferior and vicious character , while those that emanate from the system formed upon and governed by tho laws of God will be of a virtuous and superior character only ; aud as theto circumstances are , eo will man became . Under the existing system , based on men ' s laws , 250
iadividuils cannot be supported in comfort on a squaio mile of land of an average quality , while , under the sj » - tem based oa the laws of God , 500 nny be immediatoly supported in abuudanca and ia high comfort ; and in a few years , when the arrangements of each union « hall be completed , and the land made , as It gradually will be , into a garden mould , antl judiciously cultivated , » pwardsof one thousand may be so maintained , BUMOUndtd with all the most desirable appliances .
And above all , it is the decided high interest of every human being , rahatevcr may be their clais , fleet , orS party , country , orcolour , that this change should be now effected with the least loss of time . RoBEttT Owen . WasnfBgton . Jane , I 8 is .

THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER . A densely-crowded publio meetine fns held at tho Literary and Scientific Institute , Johnstrwt , Fitzroy-squ ' we , on Tuesday evening , Maroh 21 st , to eall ou the government to remove the ' monster wrong , under which millions of tbe British people suffVir , by making the People ' s Charter a etntute of this realm . ' Mr John Savage was unanimously called to tho chair , and , having related tbe object of the meeting said thrones and principalities were Jike mummies
exposed te the air—crumbling into dust . ( Loud cheers . ) The people had arisen in the majesty ot ibeir m > ral might , and wero scattering them to the "hirlwiads of heaven . ( Repeated cheering . ) In 1830 , France bad been deceived and deluded bv Louis Philippe , but she hid arisen inFehruary , 1848 , and produced a revnlution that waa the admiration of the world . ( Great cheering . ) It was tha duty of Englishmen now to press forward for the Charter , and to resolve to obtain it at all risks . ( Great cheering . )
Vkiwon , Esq ., came lorward to make ais maiden bow in the cause of Chartism , and was heurtily greeted . lie addressed tbe meeting aa friend j and brother Chartists , and moved the following resolution : — That the power of constituting the Houso of Commons , now monopolised b ; tbe aristocracy and monied classoB , 18 an usurpation of the rights of thdnation ; and this meeting calls upon the legislature forthwith to redress this monster vrrong , under which millions of tbe British punple suffer , by making the People ' s Charter a statute of tbis realm .
He said , he considered this country and the world at large , labouring under what he should denominate a chronic disease . The resolution very properly gaid the so-called House of Commons waa monopolised by aristocratic and monif d parties , and the wounds must be redressed or the whale body would suffer ; and he believed tbat th * only remedy that would touch the wound at all was the People ' s Ckirter . ( Loud cheers ) In alluding to the en > r-: iou 3 Bum taken annually by the Queen Diwager , Mr Vernon aiked ^ what conld such an old lady want wiih so much monev , especially when so many of liur fellow creatureB were starving ? Again , there washer Majesty Queen Victoria , whose income amounted to £ 3 000 per week . Tne Q , ieen ju « t now was in tbat position when woman was inoat , lovely , but he * l ! d not
know that such a delicate position was the best calculated fur tbe ruler of a nation ; on the contrary , Bhould any unforeseen occurrence happen , hu did not knawn what misht become of us , unless the Regent stepre 3 D ( Laughter followed by loud applause . ) I he expenditure tor Army ani Navy had been increased , and a pinery lor Kew Gardens . Punch , who occasionally threw out some pood things , h * d done so in his last brochure—namely , that the tax consumer shou d beoc-me the tax collector ( Ltiiehtei and applau 8 e . ) The bill convening th' 8 meeting was a too oloao following out of the French motto— ' Liberty , Equality , Fraternity . ' Now he did not object to lihmy and brotherhood ; or , as the French had it , ' FraterniliOi' ! ° ^ e word equality was open t > objections and tauntB . ' Oh ! ' said some . ' jou desire
social equality ; ' n > w he , lor one , did not , nor did he think it pnssibe there ever could be Bociai ( quality ; but what he desired was to abolish tbe inequalities of legislation . ( Loudcheers . ) But were they to j ; o to that book to which divines pointed ( ths Bible ) they would seek rquality of condition —( hear , hear)—for therein ic was elearly enough indicated rhat AjI men are brethren , ' ( Loud cheers ) Tim was his first appearance as an advocate of tbe principles of the People ' s Charter , and he had come forna ^ d from the inmost convictions of his saul ; he had advocated other changes for ten yeara past , and was now thoroughly convinced that nothing short of tbe sovereignty of the reople , as exemplified in the People ' s Charter , could ever right the wrongs of the state , and acc omplish perfect freedom . ( Orat and
prolonged cheeriDg . ) Italian * , much as they liked i ( , bad thrown aside smoking . There were otbor modes of operating on the revenue . Whatever means the people might d > t > -rmine on adopting , of this he was quite certain , if they were firmly resolved , it would not be many weeks before they had tbe Charter . ( Great oSeering . ) The people were told that there was plen'y Of money in the City now ; and he , for one , advised all that had any money in the savings' bank , to go and ( jet it , as they ( lid not know what 3 day might bring forth . ( H- 'ar , hear . ) . And under peciJiar circumstancefi money might be of great service to them . Lnud cheers . ) Let a meeting be held in every parish vach « iihit 8 own head , uli acting under the Executive Committee , and resolve to h&V © the Charter at all hazards . ( Great cheering . )
Mr Mabbtat , in seconding the motion , said he had always been a ( Jhanist from his birth — anu hoped to die one—and was frippy to f ^ ' such men as Mea-ra Vernon , Jones tt « ney , and M'Gratii araonwt them . ( Loud cheers . ) If they only rema ' ned true to themselves , a few months would see England as frea as France waa n ow , ( Loud cbeers . ) Mr Erhkst Jones cams forward amidst the most enthusiastic eheering , to support ffle resolution , and said , ihe time had nnvr arrived when principles bad to ba defended by something m 9 re than wordsrhetoric was useless now , deeda were the demand of the day—and to their consideration let them proceed . ( Hear , hear . ) It was now too late to attack or defend principles—but aa Mr Vernnn had made a gallant speech , a good Chartist speech , he wished to
point out to his notice one mistake he had committed . He had opp std equality—wished us 11 drop it fr _ 9 m our motto , and merely keep freedom and fraternity . Without equality thete conld not exist—but the equality we desired was not equal mispry—or equal indolence—it was equality of political , civil , and religious rights — and without this equality freedom conld not be , nor brotherly love exist . ( Loudcheers ) It had als- ) been advanced , that we Bhould gaia the Charter by paralysing government in abstaining from tobacco and apiri'uous liq'iora . Government were dtfieient in tho revenue , and it was said , this would increase the deficiency . He ( Mr Jones ) doubted it . If tbey list one tax they would lay on another ; tho Whigs were far too skilful swindlers to let the people profit by their abstinence . ( Ilear , hear . ) Ho wasiu favour of abstinence from spirits and tobacco , but the people roust look to a better
means —thus while they were denying themselves a pleasure , the aristocracy would be rioting in splendour and take with the left hand what they had " pasao I over with the right . ( Cheers . ) lie preferred quicker measures , —while the grass grows the steed stvrves , and when a few weeks would save impoverished millions , be was not one who would advise tbe millions to linger in misery for years . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) The speaker then submitted to the meeting a moat oomplete plan for the Metropolitan Chartist organisation , preparatory to the 8 cssion of the National Convention . This plan was rapturously applauded by tho meeting ; and in alluding to the Country , fc © Btrenunus ' y advocated simultaneous meetings , on the day tor presenting the pe'icion , throughout the country . The petition ought not to be a petition this time , but , if they did their duty , it mould be a command .
" Want of space precludes Otttf giving att OUlllaS 6 f the admirable plan of organisation proposed by Mr Jones , which , however , if aeted upon would soon effectuate tho wishes of the people , and make the national procession no mere unmeaning show . To this he added the precautionary measures ef government , and adverttjd to how far tbeir constitutional authm-ity extwndad . This well-timed address was greeted with i ' req . ient and protracted bursts of applause . Mr Wm . Cctfay , in supporting the resolution , said , he n-aa happy to find 61 e > meeting in Buch good The
humour ; he was in ni ^ h spirits himself . work went bravely on . ( Loud cherrs . ) The Chartist party appeared to him to b « the only party that could effectually secure such a change as would give increased value to labour , and greater security to all . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Cuffaoy said it might not be anwelcome to those who were newly come amongst us-nnd fcliey were many—to hear the principles , of the Charter . ( Heart haw . ) lie here recounteditiu ? several poists of the Charter-, ihe fall of Metternioh , and the despotism of Austria and Prussia , and '< appealed to all England , Ireland , and Scotland ^ to'be up and doing . ( Greatapplaase . )
Mr Alexander ® AM 33 Bsia . said thirty years . Jso . he was an ndvocateof all the Chartists now contend for . The sentiraenfc tha * the Chartists wre- tba only party who contended / or the rights of ihe-peopJe bad induced hira > to com © forward , aa there- were parties who for mnny yeses had advocated both tie moral and social rights . < A the people .

Jones justified when he averred the Cliiutiats to be the onlv party wJ > o . struggled for the wholo . political righ ' s of the whole people .

( Cheers . ) MrCampbellsays that it is not republ'oaniKnitbat tha people of France
are concerned about , but the organisation of labour . But he wouW aik , what enahled the French to com * mnnce the work of social reform ? The establishment of the republic—without the republic what ould they da ? Why merely theorise nnd speculate about the organisation of lab ur , as the Socialists in Eug " land have been constrained to do for years . ( Cheers . ) He called upon them to heed not ethereal theorists , who would distract them with theirairy speculations ? - but go right onward for the Charter , which would enable them bo to organise labour as to secure to it its just reward , { Cheers . ; Mr M'Grath , after noticing some other objection . " of Mr Campbell ' * , said , he hoped that tbo people of Lnndon would make ther 10 th ef April a day memorable in ths ;> nnah of
English history . We must eh ^ w the powers that be that the day of England ' s deliverance is at hand * We must prove , not by violence nor qutrase , but by the demonstration of an inextinguishable resolve , that , come weal or woe , we wil ) , we rou ^ t , be free . ( Loud cheers . ) We must present to the Commons the nation ' s prayer , arid , if rejected , our efforts must be quadrupled . No sinking back into apathy this time . The Q . ueon should ba memorialised to im * mediatelv dissolvo a Parliament guilty of treason tff the people , and call to her councils statesmen willing to deal justiceto tbe millions .

She has three roasts , much like the rig of a chasitmaree , the mizen mast being just over tbe poop . Several boats have gone round her daring the afternoon , curiosity baring indficed numbers to have a closer examination , bat the master wonid not admit thorn on board , and on his being asked if he intended to expose his vessel to view , he answered in the negative , ss he was desirous of getting to London as quickly as possible ! From the appearance of the vessel , she must be
between 500 and COO tons . A brig , belonging to Mrssre Kicolle , of 250 tons , is anchored near her , and appears Yery small by her . When the jank was coming round Noirmont point all eyes were fixed on her ; no one could make out what was coming , as she had only two large bamboo sails and no bowsprit . Ste was c 'tning in at a quick rate , having a stiff breeze , and a fair wind right , astern . A fatal accident happened to a boat which was run over by a cutter arriving in the reads , quite near to the jnnk . There were eeventeen persons in the boar , four of whom are r . o more . The others had a narrow escape ; three were drowned then , and the other , when saved , was in such an exhausted state that he has since died .
