A VOICE FBOM THE BASTILE . "With care-worn heart and fleshless arms , And joints all racked with pains On pallet laid , while coarsest food 3 Uy load of life sustains : 3 fy thoughts still cling to former years ,
Which food and friendship gave ; Ere Want had drove me here to die , And fill a Pauper ' s grave . "What dreadful crime has sealed my doom , And steeped my soul in woe 1 That makes me bear this worse than death , I strive in vain to know . Par better they , in battle's van , "Who death and dangers brave , Than I who here must starve and die , To fill a Pauper ' s grave . Though feeble grown , and shrivelled am , I once could boast of health
Jiy active toil has swelled the sum That marks my country ' s wealth . 1 ' fe heard the hungry cry for bread—3 Iy hand was stretch'd to save ; But now , withal , I starve and die , To fill a Pauper's grave . Throughout my grated window small , I view the city dome ;—Its towering pile that points the sky , Distinctly through the gloom . Its p illars proud my hands have hewn Ilave dug them from the cave—But yet , alone , I starve and die . To fill a Pauper ' s grave .
I ' ve tilled the ground , I ve sown the seed , I ve cut the harvest down ; Bat not a foot of barren soil Could ever call my own . To foster others' pomp and pride 1 made myself a slave : Oh , base reward ! to starve and die , And fill a Pauper ' s grave ] My "wife and children—Where are they ? Go search some neighbouring cell ; In dens apart each hugs a heart , "Where peace can never dwell .
The thought distracts my burning brain , "While tears my heart-strings lave , They , too , are doom'd to starve and die , And fill a Pauper's grave . Oh , treach ' rous guardians of the poor ; Oh , Justice I . where art thou ? Oh , man ! whose gold my sweat produced , Behold me prostrate now ! But why repine ?—and what am I , That such a boon should crave ? J JTs -Lafcour ' s lot to starve and die , And rill a Paupers grave . Edinburgh . James Harksess

I " What elegance and grandeur wide expand i The pride of Turkey and of Persia land ! I Soft quilts on quilts , on carpets carpets spread , I And couches stretch'd around in seemly band , I And endless pillows rise to prop the head . I Here languid beauty fcept her pale-faced court . — I Thomson .
Her cold nnmeaning eye , her faded cheek , Bow is she chans'd from what she was of old ! Her pale pale ' lips whence sighs unconscious break , — Oh little these who every day behold , Mark the sad change come on , and make a wreck Of many a face that once so brightly told Each happy thought that o ' er the spirit played , Casting a fiiiting " light without a shade l—Bestc . The mansion of Sir Jasp 3 r Baldwin was situate at , atout twenty-four miles from the residence ofilr . Elkinson ; it was a large pile of buildings , erected after the Eastern fashion , surrounded by a spacious jpirden , in which flourished every variety of tropical flowers and plants , —here the glorious
rose unfolded its paradise of Jeare ^ - contrasting l > eanteously with the dark foliage of the ocynum ; there the " brilliant tropical lily and the scarlet blossom of the voluptuous bonibex , intennuigled theil" flowers with the sweets of ihe jnyrlle and the fig-tree ; the tamarind and the date were seen side by side with the cocoa and the palm ; the mango and the orange , intermingled their branches with those of the pomegranate and the citron ; the sun and the shade , the flowers and the foliage , and the bright water glancing through the trees , all combined to render it an abode for the blessed . A dweller iu our cold clime can scarce imagine the beauties of a tropical garden , where taste and -wealth go hand in hand . Oh ! that man's evil
passions should mar the beauty ot such fair scenes , that the slime of the serpent should leave such traces in the garden of Eden . A colonnade led froin the garden to the rear of the mansion , and opened oa a spacious apartment , sixteen feet square , the sides of which were covered with rich paper , repre senting the Loves of the Angels ; the floor was covered with fine matting , which in the centre was overlaid with a magnificent Persian carpet ; a low ottoman of beautiful workmanship stood at each end of the room ; small but elegant marble tables were scattered about , on which were handsome Tases filled with beauteous flowers ; the windows at each end of the room were surrounded by a balcony , where the passion-flower climbed in fertile
luxuliance , whilst a ] et of water cast a delightful coolness on the air ; the sides of the apartment were adorned with splendid mirrors and eostly pictures , and a few books were tastefully arranged on an ebony table at one end of the room ; ana npon the ottoman near this reclined in sleep the beauteous form of Lady Baldwin , attended by two slaves or black servants , who , with fans in their hands , awaited the period oftlieir mistress awaking . Upon the Persian carpet in the centre room sat , or rather lay , two mulatto females , strewing with careless hands the petals of the orange flower , that its odours might perfume the apartment . Pale and languid is the form that reclines on the ottoman , the dark crimson covering of which contrasts strongly with
the white arms and slender hands that embrace its silken folds ; the climate hath not yet had time to deprive her of that purity of colour so essentially northern , but its effects arc already felt and shown in the extreme languor which pervaded her frame ; but a malady more fatal is preying on her heart . Por six months has she inhabited the prison-house of Sir Jasper ' s mansion—sumptuously is she apparelled—slaves await her " every nod—her slightest wish is obeyed with mechanical precision—luxury and power surround her—yet her mind i 3 chained , and the palace appears the prison . ' Sir Jasper , occupied in business in the morning , and in sleep during the heat of the day ; usually rises with the lising of the sea breeze , and when no other resource presents itself passes the remaining hours of the day
in his ynie ' s apartment . He is land to her , Kind as Ms nature will allow him to be , —he interferes not "with her pursuits or amusements—he is content to be the iwssessor of the jewel , to show it occasionally to Ms friends and dependents—he enshrines it in a cdBTiy casket , and surrounds it with gaudy trappings , hut he knows naught of its hidden -virtues , — it is for its glitter , and not for its qualities , that he esteems it . And Julialay asleep on the silken ottoman , —the passion flower shaded her lovely browsthe water of the silver fountain fell murmuring on ler listless ear—the perfume of the orange de-Jkhieth ier not—the' magnificence around ner is unheeded . Her thoughts are far away , delightedly lwsexin « in a small room in a dull street m the city of London—her parents , her brothers , are gathered ardttndfcer-allislappy and Berene-ayoutu enters

the apartment , ' tis her playmate , ' tis Arthur , all is joy and sport ; the scene changes amid hurricane and storm—she is dragged from her home to a far off clime , and they tell her she is married—she screams aloud at the dismal recollection , the slaves stare aghast at each other and fan the heated brows of their mistress ; anon the scene changes , and she sits in fairy bowers , discoursing high and mighty truths with a seraph from above , but a rumbling is heard , the earth shakes , the seraph spreads his azure wings , and she is plunged into the yawning gulf , —she awakes trembling , with emotion , 'and is scarce conscious whether it is the apartment or her irame that trembles and vibrates like the chords of a tempest-riven jEolian harp ; and the passion flower still shaded her lovely brows , and the water
of the silver fountain fell softly on . her awakened ear , and the perfume of tho orange djffused its grateful odours around , but they awakened no pleasurable emotion hi the languid frame of Lady Julia , one dense cloud of mental haze enveloped her , anc it was in dreams only that the faculties of her mind appeared to awaken from the torpidity of inaction . During the six months that Lady Baldwin had resided with Sir Jasper she had never seen Arthur Morton ; Mrs . Elkmson had been twice a visitor at the mansion , and from lifer Julia learnl of Arthur's welfare ; and to hear that he was in health , and enioying happiness beneath her friend ' s roof , was , indeed , a pleasure , but for her there was no corresponding enjoyment ; the active employments ; of manhood mav do much ro mh ' the bitterest grief of its
sting , but Julia had no such resource .:, the heat of the climate , and her lowness of spirits , equally com Dined to keep her from out-door exercise ; the farden was the limit of her world ,- and even its eauties could scarce raise a pleasurable emotion . When sorrow hath darkened the heart , and the elasticity of youth is brokea by the isy hand of apathy , nature in vain displays her charms-the sun losesits brilliancy—the moon its soft lustre—the stars do not smile from the heavens as they once did—the flow of the waters hath ceased its sweet music—the Very flowers have lost their colours , and their sweets bring no incense to the heart—the towering forest trees are devoid of grandeur—the ocean itself is robbed of its magnificence . To the vouno-. the innocent , and the light-hearted , nature
unrobes herself , and stands confest in all her loveliness ; but when despair hath brought on premature age , when crime hath scared the soul , when apathy hath benumbed the faculties , our perception of its beauties is for ever fled ; we may , indeed , talk of them , but the feeling of bliss in their enjoyment is fone , no more to return ; and Julia , once so lightearted , who looked on every flower as her friend , and every tree as a companion , experienced this deprivation of feeling . She had no pleasure in society ; to keep up an acquaintance with the few residents who had the entree of Sir Jasper's mansion , was irksome to her , she had no feeling or sentiment in common with them ;" and though she sedulously performed her duty , as the wife of the Governor , and saw that no rite of hospitality was
violated , yet she shrunk with a feeling of morbid sensitiveness from any further intercourse with them than necessity demanded . Shut up in that splendid mansion with no companion but her own restless and dreamy thoughts , the society of Sir Jasper , which she at first loathed , bacame by degrees a relief to her , and his presence wa 3 no longer shunned . Strange and powerful is the effect of habit , blindly and imperceptibly do we yield to its influence , whether exercised for good or for evil . Prisoners who , when first introduced into their cells , have shuddered even at the , thought of coming in contact with the vermin that infest them , have at length welcomed their society ,-and shed tears of real and bitter grief at death or other causes de « p r iving them of the solace of their company . So it s with man and his fellow men : confine the two
most bitter enemies in the same cell , prevent them from injuring each other in their first paroxysms of anger , and the love of society implanted iu the human breast , combined with the force of habit , will speedily render them bosom friends ; and , indeed , it is impossible for two persons , though mutual hatred may burn within them at the outset of life , to live long together on the terms of intimacy of man and wife , without habit supplying the place of love , more especially if no prior attachment exist to weaken its effect . Something of this kind was gradually creeping over the mind of Lady Baldwin , and had long life been allotted to her , and death or
absence deadened the effect of her feelings for Arthur , she might , in time , have become an affectionate wife to the man she once loathed ' and dreaded . The passions of the human heart —dark , violent , and overpowering as they sometimes manifest themselves— are composed of more ductile elements than the world generally imagines , and it is well for our peace that they are so . Months rolled on , the summer was gradually waving into autumn , and Lady Baldwin s cheek waxed still paler , and » 4 ier form more delicate and shadowy ; in vain did the alarmed husband procure every medical aid that the island afforded ; naught did it avaiL- the disease was beyond the reach of
medicines . "Xotthe sage ' s skill , nor the leech's art , Can heal the wounds of a broken heart . " The lethargy of her mind , which the voyage had dispelled , now returned with deadening influence , and her intellect was gradually yielding before it ; she would sit for hours in a state of almost torpidity , but a word , an accent , or even a scent that reminded her of the past , would operate like a charm ^ ponhcr , and for hours she Tfoulu live with renewed life beneath its spell . A sea voyage , and her native air was recommended by the medical attendants as a last resource ; the idea of her return to England Sir Jasper would not listen to , but consented to her trying the effect of a few days ' sail , and a residence upon his estate at Mount Pinto ,
healthfully situated m the highlands , about -sixty miles inland . The voyage seemed to recall the drooping spirits of "their patient ; and Sir Jasper , wJio , with the physician , accompanied her , until her arrival at Mount ' Pinto , buoyed himself up with the hopes of long retaining his ill-gotten , but muchprized treasure . Vain " delusion , and speedily dispelled—it was'the wizard power of memory that was tracing the faint bloom on his lady ' s check ; almost unconscious of her present situation , she was revelling in joy with the companion of her childhood . Again were his lofty sentiments and pure aspirations ringing in her ears ; again was he recounting the peril ! of his shipwreck , and his adverse fortunes
in his native land ; and by a strange hallucination she mistook her husband for Arthur Morton , and during its influence he gleaned from her their illstarred affection , and the cause of Arthur ' s flight from England . Mad with jealousy and revenge , lie harshly upbraided his poor victim , but she heeded it not—his furious tones were music to her ears , and his violent unbraidings , the soft confessions of his love . Having seen his ill-fated lady safe to his country house , he re-embarked for his official residence , burning to revenge himself on his rival , by arresting him on a charge of " arson , " and sending him to England for trial .

PATRICK O'DONOGHUE . WJien one man becomes the champion of a community , when he suffers to ward off persecution from his brcthers . he leaves the community in his debt . No bond may be signed , no deed prepared ; bat , according to honour , the individual : and his brethren stand to each other in the relation of creditor and debtor . Ever wound he endured , every sorrow that crossed him , every pang he felt , must be placed to his account . The debt of the community is proportionate to the sacrifice of the individual . The state prisoners , who are gone from amongst us , sacrificed everything to secure our happiness . Life and limb , family and home—they relinquished each and all to benefit our came . They merged their own existence in that of the country , forgot self-interest to advance national interest , and accepted a lifetime of misery to plant one truth in this Insh soil . They have claims on our gratitude which cannot be denied :
. .. Some of them had worldly wealth , were " men of property , " and gratitude is all they seek . If we are grateful for their love , and obey their teaching , we thereby cancel our debt to them . But others , are differently circumstanced , become paupers when they become prisoners , lose all their property when they lose their liberty , and in their case some more substantial compensation than mere gratitude is required . Not for themselves do they claim the debt , for they are independent of Life ; and Fate ; but for those who suffered in their sufferings ; for those who depended on them for support and protection : who lost the mears of existence , when they lost their labour—for their families .
Patrick O'Donoghue was one of those . His only property was the labour of hi 3 hands . Once his hands were chained he was without wealth or the means of obtaining it . He knew this when he climbed the hillside in the cause of Ireland-he faced death , and , sadder still ! he felt that he left his family to face poverty — be understood his duty to those who were dependent on his exertions , but he believed that his duty to the country was higherhis paramount duty ; and to perform that he sacrificed home and the hopes of life ., He suffered for us . He became a slave—a chained and prison-hound slavethat we might be free . He boldly grappled with Fate when we shrank from the contest .
He is now sailing to a distant land—a brokenhearted convict—and the hopes of his family go with him . He was the prop of their life ; now that it is removed , what is before them but misery ? The strong hand is chained , where shall they seek for help ? The husband and father is hurried away , where shall they tuTi for protection ? Truly , the time has come to " balance accounts . " Now is the day when the sufferer , must receive his reward , when the . community may pay seme portion of its debt . It has been a grievous defaulter in former cases—towards the family of John Mitchel for instance—it lies with itself to redeem its character . .
When a Roman died in battle , he bequeathed his children to the state . It was a good custom , and must not die out . To erect a Pantheon is not so consolatory to the martyr as to support his family . If the community inherits his fame and teaching , it should also be the inheritor of his responsibilities . We have had many pseudo-martyrs , few real ones . We have known enough who have traded on the sympathies of the people , few indeed who were disinterested in their philanthropy . On that account the true men deserve peculiar gratitude . For the reasons above stated we request the public to undertake the support of O'Donoghue ' s family ,
or , rather , we demand that support ; for it is not a favour , but , as we have shown , a right . It is not the granting of a boon , it is the payment of a debt . It is no generous present , it is simply a quid pro quo . He suffered for us , and he brought suftei'ir . g on others t we must alleviate that as much as possible . We must prove that we appreciate his truth , and are grateful for his unselfish acts . We , too , ' must sink self , and follow the dictates of duty . We must learn from liini to regard the existence oF others before our own / If we do not so , we are dishonoured and false , and the " convict's" worst pang will be the thought that his sacrifice was offered , for those who could not comprehend it . . Irishmen , this must not be . Let us prove that we deserved the confidence of our " traitors . " Let the good work commence . We will aid in the best way we can . —Dublin Irishman ,

— —^^— THE POOR-LAW . The following letter having been refused insertion in the Preston Guardian , has been sent to us for publication : — TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESTON GUARDIAN . Sir , —In your independent columns of last Saturday I find that my name has been brought' before the public by the Poor-Law guardians of Preston . The article is headed , "An important applicant for relief . " I feel grateful for the necessary relief they have hitherto afforded me , but I cannot pass over their -unthinking- and unjust deciaion in mj case without reply , and all I require is , a clear stage and fair play , which is the right ' of all , rich or poor , in the public press . ¦' ' ¦¦ ¦ I shall first notice , that my application to the Poor-Law Board , after they had refused me relief , is too much crippled for the / public to judge . Why did they not give ifc at full- length ? Secondly , my private letter to Mr . Thackery is more abridged ,
wherein I gave a short detail or the increasing destitution and overgrown ! , distress of the starving hand-loom weavers . WJiy was not this given at full length , and not confined to the few scraps selected by them , to scram their fancied wisdom in depriving the poor of their legal right ? However , I shall take them now . on their own admission , and an open acknowledgement , set forth by them in my case , as stated by me . They allow my _ daughter earns 8 s . pel 1 week , and myself 2 s . 5 d ., which makes a sum of 10 s . 5 d . per week ; then , sir , they deduct with me the weekly expenditure-of rent , coals , candles , and soap ,. 4 s . 3 $ d ., thus leaving me the net income of Cs . lid . per week to feed and clothe five in familj—three adults and two . helpless childrenand then decide , saying , that it was proper iu them
to stop my relief of 2 s .- per week . Now , sir , I do not dispute their transcendent merits as being qualified administrators of the Poor Law , but I must disavow and : exclaim against their unconsciontious decision u ' i ray case , because all men of Christian feelings . '¦ will allow , that we should have at least three meals per day of coarse food , that is , twentyonei meals . peiMveek each individual . Let them now calculate ,, and they will find that each person has not three farthings per meal to subsist on out of my scanty income ; and let any lumest man put his hand to his bfeasfc and ask himself , if he could endure such wasting pangs of sheer hunger and not apply for -relief , as the Taw directs , to preserve life and rescue , him from a premature death . Had our suardians consulted God in their choice when
deciding on my case they would not have stooped to listen to the false persaasions of Mr . Ward , their unfeeling inspector . ; 2 fo doubt he returned to them with some new fancied discoveries , to show them the success of his late mission , which has left many with hungry bellies , and a general murmur over the whole town . In my letter to the Poor-Law Board I took the hig hest average of a power-loom weaver at 8 s . per -week , and not more than four or five factories in Preston will reach , more than 7 s . per week average . My daughter was not able to manage two looms until this summer , being only a power-loom tenter the vest of her time , and the half of that time totally idle ; She had only one week in her life Ss . 6 d ., and that was the week that Mr . Ward was the rovinsr inspector . He fastened oh this week
as a criterion in his private report to the guardians , butforgot to notice that she had only earned 3 s . Gd . during the three previous weeks , being on looms of sick persons occasionally—such has been Mr . Ward's juggling inspection . But power-loom weavers ciinuot earn more than , will feed and . clotas themselves , paying for lodging and washing , and giving them a sufficiency of food , which they must have , or else they will leave their parents and go to strange lodgings , as hundreds do—the evil habit of too many of the factory hands . Our guardians lay too much stress on the scanty earnings of poor men ' s children springing up into maturity , because they do not know ° our creeping and sinking privations . I have said , that if I am refused relief I will and must petition the House of Commons and the House of Lords , and if I fail , I will then petition the Queen
and Cabinet for a licence to beg , because the learned St . Augustine says—" That meat , drink , and clothing are Christians' riches only , and wjth these they should be content ; " he also adds , "that all the superfluities of the rich are the property of the poor . " I credit his word , and will beg from others a share of that which belongs to myself . I am now nearly past labour , sinking under a heavy asthmatic complaint for . the last two years ; my wife is ill also , because she has not a sufficiency of food or nourishment to support health or the cravings of nature . Hundreds of the poor are dying by inches , though having relief , but too scanty to preserve life , especially the hand-loom weavers , who are destitute of all comforts , as food , clothing , and bedclothes . ;" . Clung to the hob on Sabbath days , In nakedness and clogs , . .. We envy much the hruto that strays O'er marshes , moors , and hogs . " - John Lesson , Hand-loom weaver , 70 years of age . 10 , Paradiserstreet , Preston , July 2 , 1849 .

THE ! HEAD . OP . HUSH THE MURDERER . BY DR . ELUOTSOS , M . D . ( From the Zoist for July , a Monthly Magazine published by Bailliere , Regent-street . ) ThG tl'UG nature of Rush cannoi be mistaken . It is certain that he was , in every respect , an atrocious villain , ami a villain of extraordinary force of character . _ His acts were such that his whole nature is unveiled : an (| , jf ^ dovolopoinont of his head had not agreed accovdwW to Gall ' s principles with his life , Gall ' s physiology of the brain must have fallen to the ground for ever . For a cerebral physiologist may always , without fear , assert positively ot the head from constant , positive , exhibition of a mental facultybecause constant strength of certain
, parts ot tue mind is accompanied by strong develope-T / i ° i tal " ' ts of tJie brain » and consequently ot tne skull ; just as he may always fearlessly assert negatively ot the mental faculties from negative exhibitions of the head , because deficient developement " Of certain parts of the brain , and consequently of the skull , is accompanied hv deficient strength of certain mental faculties : although , conversely , he would not assert respecting mental faculties from positive exhibitions of the head , respecting the head from negative exhibitions of mental faculties , because the devclopoment of the head may nw from other causes than brain , or the quality of the brain may not be healthy ; and on the other hand deficiency of the manifestation of
certain mental faculties may arise from mere want of excitement or from disease . Therefore , before Tu ^ ur S K ° ! Rush ' 8 hGad ' ™> all declared that his head must have been voi-y large ; the organs p f the disposition to violence , of courage , and of the love of property , of cunning , of the love of the opposite sex , and of food , enormously lai-ge ; while those of self-esteem and the love of . notoriety , with the lower range of intellectual organs , must have been large ; and , provided the brain were healthy , the organs of justice and caution , and the higher and intellectual organs , small . Rush , though he could talk glibly and was a sharp , active man of business , showed no force or grasp of intellect . His defence was most loose and
ramblmg ; he asked irrelevant questions ; sometimes ho aimed at what could be of no service to him , and sometimes disgusted every person by his stupid and ' glaring efforts to establish a falsehood . His force of character was great ; but it was the force of all the lower , feelings . Placed in certain high situations , he might have become in the vulgar sense a great ana renowned man—might have destroyed nations most heroically , and , it cursed with arbitrary power , have trodden upon the necks of millions of subjects . But the want of high intelligence and of a high sense of justice and benevolence rendered his " strengthincre brutality . In aecovdance with his qualities , his head isverv larce . But unfortunately the head is lanre where it
had better have , been smaller ; and small where it had better have been large . The head strikes a person , even / unacpainted with phrenology , as one of the most monstrous and ill-shaped ever beheld ; quiet as hideous as his character : and his face is in exact accordance ; hi 3 upper lip is frightful . The sides of his head and the lower part of its back arc enormous , and there lay the positive , the forcible part , of his character . The organs of Alimentiveness , sexual bymlse , thetlova of property ( Acquisitiveness , ) the disposition to violence ( Destructiveness , ) the disposition to contend ( Courage ,. Combativeness , ) cun-» H ' n / 7 . ( Sccretiveness , ) are ksobmous . The remarkable negative pavt of his character arose from the SHALLNESs of his organs of Justice and Caution . In of these the
the ^ situation organs head grows narrow and slopes down in a most singular manner . The contrast with the other organs already mentioned strikes every eye . The organs of Attachment , Love of Offspring ; Love of Notoriety , and of Mf-esteem , are large . The force of any of them would be very great when one or more of the six very large organs at the lowev part of the sides and back , of the nead , — Destructivencss , Coiribativeness , Cunning , &e ., acted in concert with thein ; but must have been overpowered when opposed by one or more of these . The same remark holds with respect to Senevokncc , Veneration , and Mrmness , which are not quite so large as the four former , but still are full . The organ of Ideality is not at all deficient . The organ of Firmness or rather Perseverance , is not . an overpowering ovgan in him , but muck that is called firmness is really either courage , or the strong action of some other organ : and his organs of perseverance
were so supported by ttio immense power of the very large organs , that I see" no reason to doubt from Rush ' s Head that Gall is correct in what ho advances upon this faculty and organ . The organs of Music , the Sense of Persons , Form , Language , and Locality , were large . His speech in his defence for fourteen hours proved he had words enough at command , and he was . known to be very fond of music , and to play well upon the flute . The organ of Order was small . The upper row of intellectual organs were among the smallest of his head . His forehead at this part was narrow and did not advance . Casualitij was small , Wit small , and Comparison was larger . So that the want of intellectual power exhibited in his defence is fully accounted for . Such a brain would never have chosen intellectual pur-Suits , but must always have occupied itself in the gratification of the feelings which the brute department of animals possess , some one ,. and some another , in equal force with ourselves .
And now let mo ask , why was such a monster , 9 uoh a monstrous organisation made ? But why is the whole world a scene of suffering and wickedness ? Why are innocent babies totured with endless varieties of disease ? wliy arc they agonised with the natural process of obtaining their- tooth ? Why do epidemic poisons devastate nations , the good and the bad equally ? Why do agonising and fatal hereditary diseases attack the virtuous ? Why do conntless causes of misery assail the just and the unjust ? There is little happiness which is not produced with the unhappiness of others , toiling and nnxious ; or which is not liable to bo smashed unexpectedly . As to the m series occ asioned by ourselves , why are wo not so made as to wish and be able to act better ? Why have we not more intelligent and more virtuous brains ? Why is mankind so organised and situated
that ignorance , superstition , vice , aad suffering , are the prevalent lot of humanity . ? Whatever the external show of happiness , we may find sorrow actual or impending almost everywhere , if we go behind the scenes and learn the particulars of every individual ; or , if not , we have only to Trait and we find it come . Not only while beh . oldinj' the glitter and happy excitement of our parks and streets have wo merely to turn our heads and seethe famishing and diseased beggar , or visit the hospitals or the'dh'ty alleys and back streets and behold want and agonising and wasting disease : but , while we arc enjoying the most glorious landscapes , the dwellings of the destitute and almost houseless are at hand , some victim of disease is never far off , and some suffering birds , fish , beast , or insects , in more or less abundancearc always discoverable .
, For the innocent brutes suffer too . Look at the miseries of the toiling horse—that docile and affectionate animal—cruelly forced to excessive labour for our advantage ov perhaps taken into bloody battle to be woundeu and painfully killed . Look-at the miseries of the myriads of animals which are every moment painfully put to death for our own nutriment . Truly , " the whole creation travailoth and groanoth . " The insensible department of nature is no less exposed to injury and destruction . Plants perish from over crowding , from lack of moisture and nourishment , and from the violence committed upon them by the animal denartment of nature , and by weather . The inanimate
department is equally injured ; mountains fall , countries are swallowed up : streams obstructed ; shores worn away . In the vegetable and inanimate department there is no suffering , and all appears a magnificent circulation of changes : but the some general laws which disturb t hem reign throughout ana disturb the sentient department of nature just as thoughjthis part wero . also . insensible . Good comes out of evil every moment . But the question presents itself , Why the evil at all ? And next comes the greater question , Why is anything at all ? For what end this strange and suffering spectacle of nature ?
The head of Rush is no greater mystery than the rest of sentient nature . To give a shadow of a reason is impossible . The purpose of all this is past finding out . We must be content with beholding and submitting in silence , conscious of our own littleness and inability ; and not foolishly and presumptuously attempting an explanation . We must be satisfied that it could not bo otherwise than it is , and this is my own sole consolation . But while we thus encourage a humble spirit , let us do all the good in our . power . ;
From Rush s head we must leavn chanty . Let every man remember that , if he had such a charge of cunning , acquisitiveness , &c , Ac ., as Rush was burthened with in the possession of such massive organs , and a corresponding deficient charge of higher feeling and intellectualpower , he would bo a Rush . ' Let us detest such organisations as we detest the organisations called wolf , tiger , rattlesnake , scorpion , or vermin ; and let us defend ourselves and others from them by all means which are absolutely necessary , and as little cruel as possible . But let US pity the individual , for he did noV make hinlself—no , not a hair of his head .

. THE CHARTIST SENTENCES . —ENGLISH JUSTICE . ( From the People ? s Advocate and New South Wales Vindicator , of March 17 th . ) The sentence of the LAW has been passed upon the Chartists and so-called Chartists who were tried at the Central Criminal Court , London . And what a sentence ! Some of these unfortunate men have been sentenced to transportation for life , others to long periods of imprisonment with heavy fanes and recognisances . When we remembev that all these men were convicted upon the evidence of the most notorious spies , and infamous informers miscreants , such as Powell , of whoso character a sketch appeared in an article wo copied from the Northern Star ' m omx issue of the 3 rd instant we
cannot but exclaim " and is this English justice !" Doubtless some of' these prisoners had been guilty of high crimes ;—doubtless they had secretly plotted the overthrow of the existing state of things in England , —doubtless they had conspired against the government of Queen Victoria , or rather against the government of those unscrupulous Whig lords who now control , with their puny hands , theatfairs of the gvontost nation ftf the earth ; but they had been led into these plottings and conspiracies by men paid for thus betraying them , by the minions of tlicse Whig lords themselves , and with money extorted from the ovov-draine'd pockets of the hardworking people of England . .. ¦ ..-. It appears that " it is by this system — a system of
secret police , during the existence of which no man can be safe—that the Russell administration intends to govern Great Britain and Ireland . In the latter unfortunate and down-trodden country the system of espionage has been carried on to a most fearful extent . Villains of the deepest dye have been employed to entrap men otherwise innocent . These fellows have concocted in their diabolical brains the most horrid conspiracies , they have then broached them amongst a knot of miserable , lialffamished wretches , have induced them to give some sort of assent to their proposals , arid then denounced them to . the police ; whereupon they have been taken into custody , committed for trial , and convicted upon the evidence . of the hardened villains who havo caused them to be placed in the prisoner ' s dock . This is no new thing in Ireland
m fact , English rule m that country has more or less for the last fifty years , been supported by this system . Nor , indeed , is it new in England , the Powells and Davises of the present day may be well ranked with the Olivers , the Edwardses , and the Richmonds of a former period . But what are we to think of a , government which requires such props to support it . Such a gorernment must be " truly paternal . " It must challenge the love and admiration of all who love under i . t . . The fact is , that this system is nothing more nor less than an engine for the enslavement of the pe ople , and by tending to debase their morals it opens a ready way for the aggrandisement of despotic lordlings . Can it bo expected that under a system such as
this there should be' anything else but dissatisfaction and discontent ? Is it at all likely that the people of England or Ireland will settle down peacefully and quietly to pursue the ordinary avocations of lite ? If they did they would be less than menthey would be unworthy of the ancestry from which they have sprung—they would not bo deserving of the liberties of free : men . " . Auxl yet in the midst of this mass of political and moral corruption , wo arc to be amused'by being told of the " devoted loyalty" of Englishmen , of the " stability of English " Institution ' s , " ivnd of the superior blessings enjoyed by Englishmen over the people of any other country . All this , however , is sheer humbug , got up to serve a purpose . The
institutions of England are not stable—they are not fixed upon an immutable foundation-r-they are not established in justice ; and unless some mighty change is shortly made in the policy of England's rulers , unless honesty is substituted fov trickery , truth for falsehood and deceit , and justice for judgemade law , we may expect to see one of the most terrible social convulsions that evev shook the throne or dynasty of any nation in the world , ' ancient or modern . It is absolutely impossible that the thing called government in England can go on much longer as it is . : With ' millions of her most industrious and intelligent artisans perishing for lack of food , with thousands of her hardy labourers prowling about
the country like beasts of prey . With a debt which she can never by any possibility overcome ; with her destinies in the hands of an imbecile , truth hating , and dishonourable faction , it is impossible that England , struggle as she may , can steer clear of that sea of trouble and calamity with which she is now surrounded , and into wbich she has been plunged by the ignorant and truckling statesmen who have undertaken to guide her holm . Wo should be sorry , indeed , to see the flames of civil discord raging throughout England ; we do not wish to see our fatherland torn and rent by contending factions opposed to each other in . deadly
array ; but dreadful as such a thing is to contemplate , we would rather than see her degraded as she now is , see her in the throes of a new birth by which she shall be . delivered . from the power of narrowminded despots , "whose only thought is for themselves ; whose only care ia for place and pension , who wholly disregard the interests of the people , and who in their worship of Mammon , forget the God of Christianity . Men whoso rule is based upon expediency , and who in their dealings with the peo'plo over whom they usurp , forgot alike the dignity auo to the state , the honour due to their sovereign , and the good old truths pf revealed religion winch no nation can neglect and escape scatheless .

FATAL AFFRAY BETWEEN" THE MILITARY ANP THE CONVICTS AT BERMUDA . The Bermuda Herald , of Thursday , 5 th July , contains the following account of a conflict attended with loss of life , between the military and tlic convicts on board the Medway convict ship : — "An inquest was held on Tuesday last , on board the Medway convict ship , by Charles C . Keane , Esq ., coroner , on view of the bodies of Thomas Kerrigan an'l John Tobin , who had been shot . The following is the substance of what was elicited before the jury : —The four or five hundred convicts on board the Medway were assembled that morning on . the spai 1 dock ( the forward pavt of the ship ) to witness the punishment of one of their number , James Gronin , for mutinous conduct . The overseer , F . B . Black , Esq ., and his officers , with tho convict nuards . fullv armed , and their pistols being loaded
with ball cartridge ( the usual practice , we believe , ) were drawn up on tho quarter-deck—they numbered twenty in all . The medical officer was also present . The quarter-deck is divided from the spar deck by a railing about five feet high . The man to bo flogged had a brother on board the ship , older than himself , who had permission from the overseer to absent himself from witnessing the punishment ; but this kindly ofler on the part of Mr . Black was refused , and he appeared with the other prisoners . When the proper officers were in the act of securing the man to the gratings or ladder , his brother rushed forward , ana leaping on the barrier and waving his hat , called to him by name . He ( the elder Crohin ) then addressed some words in Irish to tho convicts , which was answered by a wild cheer , and a rush of
some 250 to a barrier , upon which they clustered like bees , preparatory to a . descent upon the quarter-dock . The men -wore desperately excited ! The overseer wared his hand , and called to tlie men to fall back , ' which order was quite disregarded . Mr . Black , ( plainly perceiving what must be the object of the prisoners , viz ., the rescue of . Cronin , and the probable butchery of himself and his small party , ) gave orders to the guards to ' fire , ' which was immediately followed by a volley from the front rank . Tliis did not liavo any immediate cftcct , the desperate men entertaining the idea that only blank cartridges were fired .. Tho rear rank of the guards , which j iad been kept in reserve , then moved to the
front , and , under order from Mr . Black , fired . Two of the mutinous convicts fell dead , and twelve were wounded . This instantly quelled the mutiny ; tho men hurriedly retreating to hiding-places about the forward part of the ship . The punishment was then administered to the younger Cronin . After a lengthy investigation , the jury unanimously returned a verdict of 'Justifiable Homicide . ' One of the wounded men died on Tuesday afternoon . An inquest has been held on his body . The ringleader , Cronin , was wounded in two places . Two others ave maimed for life , one having had his leg amputated at the knee , and the other having received a ball in the spine . "

A Tyrant's Feau of Education . —It is stated from St . letersburg that the Emperor hjuj list issued an ukase which is worth quoting , as sjivimr our readers some notion of the promising condition " of education in the hapoy temtonea of the Czar of all the Russias . His imperial Majosty-that groat patron of English art , who builds iip oui- national coUimns andsubsidizosour racing fields-finds learning overrunning his convenience in his own dominions ? The education of his people is to be reduced to a ' small per centage- the bread of knowledge is to bear a more moderate proportion to the sack of ignorance . This significant decree limits henceforth the number of students in any of the Russian universities to three hundred ; and as at present there is a crcafi
excess over this modest allowance ( the university of Moscow , for instance , having a thousand students , and that of Dorp . it six hundred and fifty ) , no new student is to be admitted into any of i ' neso universities until tho number there shall ' have fallen below three hundred . Tho next generation is , therefore , to be dark in the mass ; and afterwards education is to be made—iva in the memory of man it was considered amongst ourselves sueli a luxury should— -xa atfair of class and privilege . The vacancies when they occur are to be recruited first from the iioMesnext from those destined for the profession of medicine . His imperial majesty has fallen back upon the wisdom of the "fine old English gentleman "only he has forgotten the new conditions of the -world in which that extinct species lived . Ib is only in the fossil state that " the fine old English gentleman' * could now bo kept above ground in England . No doubt his imperial majesty dislikes the fruits of
knowledge which ho has soon unnaturally forced in the sudden glow of the revolutionary spirit all around him , and thinks that ho can still sow tho earth with dragons' teeth , instead of such dangerous seed , at his pleasure , to yield him only armed men . We take upon ourselves the office cf Zadkiel , and prophesy—out of the darkness which ho would create around him shall come the monsters that shall devour him ; they whom he dooms to bo tha lean kine in Jiie matter of instruction shall eat up his fat Uine ; the irresistible power of knowledge which is abroad shall crush those who seek to crush it . There is nothing that we should welcome more warmly , in the interest of his subjects , than a few more ukases in the same spirit from his imperial Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias . —¦ Athcnxum Memory . —A bundle of dried time .
