DAISV HZXiZt . —Thk Gentleman and the Beggas—We had a miserable object to look at on Sunday afternoon . A poor man came into our Tillage begging ; he stated that he had a wife and four children ' at Rochdale . The poor man was so weak and feeble , through want of food , that he was scarce able- to stand . He was seen by one of out Chartists leaning against a wall , Tomitin £ blood ; he was taken into th « house , where he got some refreshment , which he received with tears , saying that he had not broke his fast since Friday morning . When the poor fellow had refreshed himself , he said he had been in the neighbourhood of Bingley , and that Hb had gone to a grnileman ' s house to ask for relief . The servant opened the door , and told him that his master did not allow them to reliere beggar . * , but he ( the poor man ) told snch a pitiful tale , that he gare him some
bread and meat , telling him to pat it out of sight . The poor man did as was requested , and was returning out of the yard , when the master , who had been looking out of the window , stopped him , and demanded to know what he had got in his hat . The poor man took the bread and meat and showed it to him . He then asked him who gave him that ; he replied that his servant had given it . The gtnttemnn , if be may be so called , wanted to know which of lhe servants it was . The poor man being afraid that if he told which of the servants it was , he would lose his place , refused to say . The gentleman then snatched the bread out of his hand , and threw it to the dog , s&jicg , " Hf-re , Carlow , take tkee that , for I know thee , but this is a stranger "—calling him a damned Chartist , a grasshopper , and a va ^ abondj and fcrdered him off the premises . —Correspondent .

VobaCitt of a Boi Consteiciob —A siigular instance of the voracity and power of appetite » f this reptile oceurred fcfew days since at tbe Zoological Gardens in the Regent ' s Patfc . Two fine tiger boa constrictors were brought over by Captain Redman from Calcutta , and presented by him to the menagerie on the 4 th of September last . They were respectively 11 feet and 9 feet in length , and had lived m harmony together in their cage until last week , when the smaller one , being sickly , would not eat at the usual time of fetding . The largor one had just eaten a rabbit and three guinea pigs , when , it appears , ho made a gorge oT his more weakly companiou , which was proved by the sudden disappearance of the latter , and the more bulky size or the former , which exceeded three feet in diameter in the greatest proportion of his body . So singular a case of the carnivorous power and propensity of this reptile is not on record .
United STATES . ~ The packet ship North America , Capt . Lowber , reached Liverpool oa Sunday , after a run across the Atlantic in . fifteen days , conveying New York papers to the 20 th , being four days later than previously received by Cunard ' s steam-ship Britannia . The intelligence by this arrival presents some features of interest . As regards Mr . M'Leod his trial will take place at Lockport , and not , as has been stated , at Albany , but it is still uncertain when it comes on , The Attorney-General , Mr . Crittenden , was on his way to Lockport lor the purpose , it wag said , of demanding the surrender of MLcod to the Federal Government , - * measure grounded upon the
avowal by the British Government of the destruction of the Caroline . It is asserted on the other hand , even if such be the case , that M'Leod will not be given up , the state of Sew York persisting in the right to bring him to trial within its own territory . The question is therefore still involved in difficulty . Respeotiu « the internal affairs of the states tho chief occurrence has been the issuing of a proclamation by the President convening an extra s «« sion of Congress for the 3 l 8 t of May . This proceeding has its origin , not in relation to the affairs of M'Leod , but iu consequence of the state of the finances ot the country . In Canada election matters absorbed all other questions .

A Mad Railway Passenger . —On Friday , a young labouring countryman , dressed in a round frock , got into one of the carriages at Reading to proceed to London by one of the morning trains , and on its stopping at Slough , contrary to the regulations , he got out and jumped about th « platform in a very unusual and extraordinary manner ; ao much so , indeed , as to convince every person who ¦ aw his strange gesticulations that his mind was affected . However , he was again persuaded to enter the carriage , and proceeded to London with the other passage ™ . Mr . Byles , of the Hope Inn , Windsor , and bis son , with one of the guards , wore iu the same box , and their attention was excited by tho violent manner of their follow passenger , whom Mr . Byles wafched most attentively . When the train noared Hanvrell , the young countryman suddenly made a desperate attempt to jump out of
tho carriage ( lhe train then going at great speed ) , bmt by the firmness and promptness of Mr . Byles , who was assisted by his e « n and the guard , he was forced back into his seat , and compelled to remain there until their arrival at Pa-Jdinfiton , when it was deemed necessary , from his extreme violence , to have him confined until taken before a magistrate , and examined by a medical gentleman . This was done , and the raedieal man gave h : s decided his opinion that he was insano . In securing him , it appeared ho was in a paroxysm of rage , and hit Mr . Byles , the guard , and every person who laid hold of him , and he broke the windows of the cab in his way to tho Magistrates . Tho magistrate deemed it necessary to order tnat he should be taken bare of until his friends were discovered . His name was discovered to be Sanders , and he said he had killed his child , and he intended to kill himself . —Bucks Gazette .
The Robbery at Windsor Castle . —The robbery of piaie and other articles of value at the Castle has been discovered to be far more extensive than it was at first supposed . The silver table , tho legs and thfl top of which have been carried off , was a portion of the vaiuble effects , of a like description , which was seat from Hanover many years . since , at the timo that country was threatened to be invaded by Bonaparte , by the army under the command of Marshal Mortimer . At that time various articles of splendid silver furniture , consisting of tables , looking-gla ^ s fra mes , ch . iirs , and " dogs " ( in use abroad , where wood is used for fuel ) , &c ., were Bent for security to this country , and at that time were deposited at Cumberland Lodge , in the Great Park ,
under the care of a German named Koelmanh . It has been discovered that two splendid solid silver figures , upwards of sixteen inches in height , each bearing a crown , and likewise brought from Hanover at the period referred to , have bean purloined . These had been deposited among the stores , near the Silver table , a great portion of which has been carried off . The person wlio lias absconded had access to this part of the stores . This table having been a little out of order , was taken out of the ropm at the Castie in which it usually : was , for the purpose of undergoing some repairs , but the required repairs had hot taken pace . The porter , who has absconded , no tiding ^ of whom have yet been discovered , was in tho receipt of only eighteen shillings per week—some say only sixteen shiJJings . It is believed that he has left the country . His wife states that after he left home on the Thursday morning he returned again
in tho course of the day , and then left agam as usual . The only things she has missed from the house since his departure are his pair of razors , which it appears he took with him in his flight . It has transpired , that when the suspected party Ibft the Castie , ho called upon a Jew named Morris , residing in Pcascod-street , a dealer in watohes , jewellery , and in old gold and silver , and requested the loan of ten shillings ; but this having been refused , he thence proceeded to Mr . Radnor , a pawnbroker , with whom he pledged his watch for fifteen shillings . When he called at Mr . Radnor ' s , he merely said he wanted , some money , and , asked for that sum upon his watch , whioh waa immediately advanced . He then seemed as usual ; and there was nothing in his manner w appearance " to indicate that he was labouring under feelings either of exciter * meat or alarm . Thence lie has . beta traced " to the ; railway station at Slou « h . - . ,. , . t > •

Fire . —Trowbridge , April 2 . —This morning , about two o ' clock , by the observations o the police force , who were out on dnty , a fire was discovered in the brewhouseand cellar of Mr , Joseph Townsend , at , the Tuns and Bowls Inn , Market place , Trowbridge . An alarm being given , . assistance was soon at hand ; and , by the active exertions of the towns people , and by catting off the communication ? , the damage was confined to the cellar and the brewhouse . Some very large pieces , with their contents , were burnt or spoiled ; and ths very confined spot where the fire originated precluded tho possibility fora timo of directing the engines into full play ; but by five o'clock all . danger had subsicied for tho surrounding premises , many of which were very old , and liable to ignite . We are happy to say'Mr . Townsend had been fully insured in two respectable offices for many years . No knowledge exists of the cause of the fire .
Alarming an © extensive Firk and narrow escape of the Family . —Between one and two o ' clock on Monday morning , a most alarming fire broke out in the Eiephant and Castle public-house , kept by Mr . Leidard , High-street , Whitechapel . The family , it appears , had closed the house at the usual hour on Sunday night , when , to all appearance , everything was perfectly safe , and ia the courae oi half an hour afterwards the whole of tho inmates were in bed . At the above-named hour , as policeconstable Beed , No 50 of the ll division , who was on duty , was pasting the house , he obeeryed a very great light in the place , which , not notieina before , excite his suspicions that the house was on fire , and , Upon a minute examination , he found his tears were
realised . He directly sprang his rattle , when policeconstables Noa . 14 and 93 camo to his aid . With a judgment which reflects great credit on them , they prevented the doors and shutters from being forced open by the neighbours , and thus saved the lives of the inmates . Some minutes elapsed before they were aroused , and when they appeared at the windows it was ascertained by the police that the stairs were on fire , and the only mode of escape was from the windows . Unfortunately no laddera oould be obtained in the neighbourhood , and as the fire was assuming a terrific aspect , the policemen saw that the oniy means which was left to them to assist the inmates in their escape , was to adopt the following plan . One stood close to the front of the house , and the
next one got upon his shoulders , and thus reached the lead beneath the first floor window , having fixed themselve 3 firmly thay then called to Mr . and Mrs . Leidard , the maid servant , and pot-boy , who were at the second floor window , to get out and lower themselves down . Th © two females were accordingly assisted out by Mr . LMdard and the boy , and were caught by the police and lowered down in safety , the men following the example . The police maintained their perilous position , although the smoke which issued from the apertures in the shuiters nearly suffocated them until they were certain that all had escaped . Their heroic conduct was loudly
cheered by the spe c tators . By-this , time the brigade engines from Wellclose square , Jtffery-square , and Watling-street , reached the scene of destruction and were soon got to work , a powerful supply of water being obtained , but an hour elapsed before the names were got under , and then not before the lower part was completely destroyed . Although an active inquiry has been instituted as to the cause of the fire , it is unknown , but , from the appearance of the place , and the information of the police , it evidently originated in the bar . The house and stock are insured iu the Sun Fire-office , and the damage done is estimated at about j £ 1 , 500 .
O'Conneli . ' 8 Idea of the Benefit of Bullyikg the English Pbopls . —At a meeting of tho Repeal Association , in the Corn Exchange , lately , Mr . O'ConueH replies to the argument ; that bullying England will obtain no good for Ireland , by citing instances in which England has been bullied with the best effect : — " How did tho Catholics of Ireland get , in the year 1778 , tbeir act of emancipation ? General Gatea conquered Burgoyne at Saratoga , and ma . de the Britieh army surrender . Ireland immediately rose and said , * You must give us an Emancipation Bill : ' and England was bullied , and granted it . ( Cheers . ) The next year the Volunteers sprang into aotion ; and Ireland called for free trade , which England refused contemptuously : the Irish put on
the cannon of the Volunteers , ' Free trade , or else , ' and tbe word else was just down by the touchhole . ( Cheers and laughter . ) What was the matequence ! England was bullied , and free trade was granted . Again , in 1782 , when the combined fleets of France , Spain , and Holland , swept the Channel , the Yolunteers gained the independence of the Irish Parliament , which England was most unwilling to grant ; but she bullied again , and may God bless their memories for doing so . ( Cheers . ) In . 1752 , th « English Government refused to allow the petition Of the Roman Catholics for further emancipation ; but in that year Dumourier won the battle of Jcrnmappes ; and , at the close of it , England was bullied again to allow Catholic barristers to practise ; for which I humbly thank them . In 17 S 3 , when Belgium was conquered by Frauce , further concessions were bullied from England : and I want to know whether it was out of grace or favour she granted
Emancipation I England won ' t be bullied , forsooth ! I am not a fighting man , and y « t I have bullied England from this room , and succeeded . " ( Lond cheers . ) A voice— " And will do it agais . " Mr O'Connell— " I hope I am doing it now . I had the great hero and the greatest statesman of England against me—Wellington of Waterloo—a mighty great general—aud Peel , the great orator ; yet from this room , Protestant and Catholic bullied both statesman a » d warrior , and obtained Emancipation . " ( Cheers . ) Then for the future— k < I throw out these things here in order to warn the people of England of the impolicy of their going to war under tho cir cumstances in which they have placed Ireland at present . A single shot fired from a hostile vessel —one ball booming over the ocean from a hostile cannon to England — - then " [ Here the honourable and learned gentleman placed his finger to his nose , looked . most significantly , and immense and enthusiastic cheering instantly burst forth from every quarter of the room . ]
Tbade Combination . —At the Mansion House on Saturday , a journeyman shomaker , named Henry Dean , was brought before Alderman Wilson , charged with having , in the language of the trade , |* blocked the shop" of Mr . Reynolds , shoemaker , in Arthur-street . There were many men in waiting to hear the result of the acensation . William Pierce , foreman to Mr . Reynold , stated that the defendant had , no doubt , been stationed opposite to his master ' s premises , to watch for aud prevent the workmen from going in about their business . Several men were paid regularly by those workmen who were engaged in combination , to watch and endeavour , by persuasion or menaces , to put a stop to business altogether , or havait on theiv own terms .
Mr . Reynolds had' only just raised the wages of his men . Thomas Green , of No . 23 , New-street , Biahopsgate , stated that he was just going into Mr . "Reynolds ' B warehouse with his work when the defendant called him over , and said , " Beynolds'd warehouse js on the strike . " Witness said that he neither knew nor oared if that were the case . The defendant then said , ** You must all strike , for we have got a great many of the men away , and in six weeks time there will be a general strike in the trade , and there will not be a pair of shoes left in a shop under a * bob ' " ( a shilling . ) Witness , and othef ' men who worked for Mr . Reynolds , had been constantly annoyed for five or six weeks by several men , who w « ro employed to urge theni ' to
strike , and who were frequently changed , m « rder to escape accusation . Witness had been , previously laid hold of by the collar by a tall man , who was em ^ ployed to prevent men from ' working , ajid told tKati be ought to be horsewhipped . John Sharpe , who is clicker at Mr . Reynold ^ , stated that the defendant was frequently in the habit of watching opposite the " shop for a whole day to intimidate the men . That was called * blocking the shop . " Four 6 t five Stood ' there at a' time . Alderman WiliSra —* Do jfou know them to bo employed in that sort of busincssl " Witness— ' .

JPVEW / . E fFFEjfDEBs . —At the Westminster Sessions , on Wednesday , the 31 st pit :, one of the grand jury waa understood to say that the ages of the prisoners should be mentioned upon the indictments , as some time ago , when the grand jury baa returned a true bill against a boy , he was merely brought into the court and reprimanded . The child was six years olH . The chairman , said that a child waa not held to be legally guilty under soven years of age , arid from seven years of age to twelve he was presumed to be guilty or not of any crime for which be was indicted , according to circumstances ) , which might lead the court to a supposition of hta knowledge of the guilt of the act at the time it was committed . For instance , a boy was indicted for murder many years ago , add because he had run into the woods and hid himself , afterwards , it was
concluded that he knew he was committing a crime at the time it was done , and he was therefore ex * ecuted . From the age of fourteen and upwards every person was presumed to have a knowledge of the law . He hoved that the time vras not far off when every child between the age of'seven and fourteen would be regarded as an erriug being , capable of being reclaimed ; and , instead of being punished as a felon , he would be instructed as an unfortunate child . He regarded the opportunities he enjoyed of inquiring into the character and previous education of juvenile delinquents as one of the greatest benefits he derived from hia « ecupatwa of the sessional chair ; and if they knew the misery ia which the po . or children were found who were * 8 ft often placed * t tho bar , their hearts would bleed for them .
Charge of Forgery agai > st an Ex-Mayor . — Great surprise was excited in Stafford , on Thursday week , by the examination of Mr . Thomas S : evenson , late mayor of the borough , oa a charge of forgery with intent to defraud Messrs . Silvester , leatherdealers , of the same town . The examination , which Ja-ted nearly eight hours , took place before E . Lloyd , Esq . ( mayor ) , and Messrs . Shaw and Jones . The substance of the charge was briefly this : — That he had feloniously uttered a forged acceptance to a bill of exchange , in the name of his
nephew , Mr . Willram Wynn . It appeared from the evidence , that for a length , of time Mr . Wynn , nephew © f the accused , had been in the habit of lending his name to his uncle in'tbe shape of accommodation bills , but at length he objected to continue the practice , and a bill , purporting to be accepted by him , but bearing a forged signature , was uttered by the prisoner . After a careful examination of the evidence , the magistrates came to a conclusion that it was a proper case to go before another tribunal , but accepted bail for the prisoner's appearance , himself in £ 5 l'O and two sureties in £ 250 each .

THE LAST DAT . The day yras passed in the osoal rostine of Court ceremony ; in the morning , the mass and the indieBces ; in the evening , the rubber of whist , with its formalities ; and it was thus , while the earthqmke was rumbling in the neighbourhood , that precautions were taken to avoid it . Many ill-natured comments have been made ou this vfhist-party by the malevolent , as if Charles the Tenth had really occupied himself purposely with this trilling amnsement while sorroondea with sach imminent dangers ; bttt those who have lived in eonrts most know that the daily life is regulated by a monotonous uaiforaity , which is not to be infringed because a variety of private interests are connected with i& 3 existence .
Charles the Tenth did not of his own accord propose the game ; but every evening at . a stated hour , the lord in waiting approached his Majesty and s&id , " Sire , tbe card-table is prepared , and your party is formed . " On the evening of the 28 th , the usual ceremony took place ; and the King , indeed , Bat down mechanically in Mb accustomed manner—we a \\ beccme gradually the creatures of habit , particularly as we advance in life ; bnt ths distant murmur of cannon was still audible , and the echo , of civil Trar resounded in the vale below the chateau . Charles was evidently disturbedI ; any idea of amusement wa 3 litile in unison with his feeliDgs ; the cards were left untouched ; he rose from his chair , and went out on the balcony , where he remained some time looking towards Paris with considerable anxiety .
A Chinese Book fob the Poob . — For twentytwo ccshpi tseen , I purchased an elegant book , rilled with choice subjects of the graphic art , as patterns for the use of the young needle-woman . She is asumed to be poor , and hence the little manual is priced £ t about one penny of our mouey . It has a cover of a fair yellow , studded with spangles of gold , and contains between two aud three hundred figures , culled from the varied stores of nature and art . In fact , the objects are fo well selected aud eo numerons , that they might serve as illustrations to a small
encyclopasdia . One acquainted with Chinese literature and natural history mi ^ ht deliver several lectures with this book before him . The meadow , the grove , the brook , the antiquary ' s museum , and the pages of mythology , with the adornments of the house and garden , are all laid under contribution . The book is said to be for the use of the person who belongs to the preen tcindow , which is an epithet for the dwelling of a poor woman ; while the red flattery denotes ihe residence of a rich female . —The Chinese as they are .
