Though great thy theme , fear not , celestial maid ; Where truth inspires true dignity is laid . True , some experienced pen , with gait sublime , Thy theme Ehould honour with immortal rhyme ; Some classic Thompson , akilTd in gentlest lore , Or he who slumbers on the Thebaa shora , Or rural Burns , fair Scotia ' s darling child , Or mighty Shakespeare fam'd for fancy wild , Should raise thy theme a monument of fame , Profusely deek'd with sweet Parnassian fears , To boldly shont the great O'Coxxo&s praise . Bat thon , ala 32 like these canst never stag ; By fate deprived of fancy ' s glorious wing ; By cruel fortune barr'd from learning ' s fane ; Each hope o ' erwhelm'd by life's tempestuous main ; DipriTtd of aU that fortuned child can claim , Except that gloziou 3 and unstooping ftime—The fia » e of freedom , —fortnne cannot quench , Nor fste itself with all its billows drench ; That rides supreme o ' er ev * ry troubled wave , And boldly claims what heaVn so freely gave ; Devoid of -which , how poor the poet ' s verse

      That ' s meanly train'd to win the lordHng ' s purse ; Though fancy ride in every glowing line , Anri learning ' s wreath securely round it twine ! Yet O i witbont that spark of heavenly flame , itfB dastard author wears a crown of shsme ; Then , wherefore fear , si ^ ce virtue is the test ? Whose flame may warm the fortune-frozen breast And tho'dame farcy daEp her niggard arm , Nor learning deign to give one pleasin * charm , Thou yet may ' st sing what duty shall inspire , "RTbile surest trnih alone condncts the lyre .

      See mon nnfolds ! and Sol , from eastern skies , With beams etherial o'er creation flies 1 Gilds o ' er the lawn , where fragrant tfew-drops bright With ambient Eparklea , hail the God of light , While , soft refracted ' gainst yon mountain ' s side , In sweti profusion rolls the golden tide ! Peeps o ' er the cliff with majesty trnd power ! And gladdened nature hail 3 the joyous hour . And thou 0 Sol , that now dost reign on high ! Thy orb celestial in the clcniileJ 3 sSy , Hath never seen a day so truly great—A day so rlorions for Britannia ' s state—As this which dawns by thine awakening power , To sing the requiem cf oppression's hour , When Grecian heroes dect'd the martial Seld , And qaiv ' iicg arrowa rung each brazsn shield .

      And as a forest stoopeth to the wind , So moves the mass , to freedom ' s cause resign'd , Each breast dilating at the glorious Ecene ; And independence walks with manly mein .

      The mighty number * bright with heaVuly Ijght ; Shcrw how a people ' s ali-auScieut -might , 2 Jigii so hurl down oppression ' s blood-built throne , Asd raise triumphant freedom ' s gioriuns dome . I or , know ye , Britons ; know ye sons of toil , Whose bl # ody sweat manures the verdant soil , Te . who produce what lordly tyrants eat , Who impious cmsh you " neatb their haughty feet , Enow ye , in you their greatness doth consist , And to be free is OSLT to resist .

      Thcsaa now journeys in the glorious west , Yet lingers lovely ere he brinks to rest , EssolVsi to see ibe glories of the day , Ere sunk recumbent " Death the ocean ' s spray ; And banners waving o ' er the marshal'd files Are rieh 2 y garnish'd with his golden smiles . And 0 ! ye thousands , warm with heavenly fire , Behold , and viewing let it each inspire ; Behold the emblem , must I say of who ?

      A tender patriot and a patriot true ; Be irbo fought uoWy—he who scorn"d the smile Of those who trample on the sons of toi ' .. And when old Priam from the Trojan wall Beheld thy radiance on each helmet fall ; Not tiien , O ! Sol , the day was half * o great ! That only -srsigh'd a captive woman ' s fate : While this , with great events , will proudly teem , And tyrants tremble at each glorious scene .

      Time rolls along , each shadow flies the west , And z = al impatient fills each manly breast ; And like Atrides * mong ths Grecian hosts , Eidh son of freedom to his neighbour posts ; Erects tie standard of eternal truth , Gives hop * to age and points the path of youth . The sf-crioujJ sun now hangs in southern skies , And busy raurmurs do incessant rise , As trhtn the wind loud pratling through the &rove , VTith rustic cadence charms the ears of love ; AS whdi the herds do lowing seek the folds , And down the vale the noisy clamour rolls : Su mingled voicts , raise one general sound , And ' ¦ preat 0 Co >> OR" doth alend resound .

      Now round the hall the assembled "thousands stand With gretdy ears to eatch the glad command ; Command to march , bnt not o ' er field 3 of blood , Whose modest daisies dr ink the crimson flood ; Command to march in majesty sublime , And >!* ' ! the champion of a cause divine .

      liEBDS . —LEcmRE ox Emigration . —On Monday evenirig , the Rev . W . Roaf , from Toronto , in Upper Canada , delivered a lecture on emigration in the Court House . The audience was not numerous but respectable . The Rev . Gentleman , we believe , who belongs the Independent denomination , formerly resided at Wolverhampton , bat about fi ? e years ago , went out to Canada , where he has since resided , being-employed as a missionary . The Rev . Gentlemsin stated that his remarks on emigration had

      been rather elicited in deference to the judgment of others than to serve any object of his own . He had no interest to serve by lecturing , nor was he the agent of any land company in the colony ; if , however , he could preserve any person from false steps , or satisfy any who might be in uncertainty as toemigration , he should consider himself to have been well employed . The lecture was of great length , and was listened to with patient attention . A vote of thanks was given to the lecturer at ihe close .

      Assaults . On Monday last , a cadaverous , wretched looking man , named John Styan , was charged before the magistrates ^ at the Court House , with an aggravated assault on hia wife , aud also on policeman Siubbs , who was called into take him into custody . The parties reside in Ebeaezer-street , and it would appear led a regular cat and dog sort of life , the green-eyed monster having taken possession of the breast of the unfortunate husband , who declared that he beat his wife , because she would have another man to lodge in the

      house . The policeman stated that when he was called in the prisoner was drunk , and nearly Daked . He was fined forty shillings and costs , or sent to Wakefield for two montb . 3 . Peter Chambers , alias John Maran , was fined forty shillings and costs , or xwo months imprisonment , for an assault on policeman Barton , on Saturday night , at which time he w ^ nt to the Pbceaix Inn , very drunk , and the landlord having refused to fill him anything he became abusive . The policeman was sent for , and was assaulted in the execution of his duty .

      Assault and Alleged Highway Robbery . — On Monday last , two aecent-iooking men , named Thomas Kilburn and Thomas Simpson , residing at Halton , were charged at the Court House with having committed a violent assault upon Thomas Carter , an old man residing at the same village , and with-havmg abstracted from his pocket the sum of seven shillings . The transaction was said to have taken place on Saturday night , about twelve o ' clock . The old man ' s faco bore marks of punishment ; but it having come out that they had all been dr inking together ai the Dog and Gun , -which plstce they left in company , and the old man not being quite sober , the magistrates dismissed the charge of robbery , of which , indeed , there was no evidence adduced i and fined them 10 s . each for the assault . The prisoners declared that the old man was the aggressor , and stripped off his coat to fight .

      Accj » e > t jmiom Fibe Ahms . —On Monday last , an accident-from the incautious use of fire arms , occurred at the huuse of Mr . Johu Kobinson , the Wild Man , Quarry hill , which it is very fortunate was not attended with fatal consequences , A young man named Thomas Russnm , residing with his mother in the Globe Yard , Quarry-hill , who has been for some time out of employment , was on Monday forenoon engaged by Mr . Robinson to do some trifling jobs about his house . Ac dinner time he was sat in the tap-room eating soms bread and cheese , when suddenly a report of fire arms was heard , and the poor fellow fell to the floor covered with blood . He was at once removed to the Infirmary , and an enquiry set on toot as to the

      person who had fire 4 the shot ; it then appeared that a Jad named Forster had an old pistol in . his pos 5 e 5 si 8 n , which , on Monday , whilst he was getting h : s dinner , he had lent to another lad named Moss , who having placd a cap on the nipple , held the muzzle to the ear of-a companion , named Illing'wonb , and pulled the tiig ^ er . The cap exploded , but no further con .-equences ensued , the pisiol , though charged having missed fire . After this the pistol was returned to Fors ' . er , who , whilst standing'in . the street , close to the cap room window of the Wild Man , fixed on another cap , and pointed the pistol throngh the window which happened to be open , and pulled the trigger . The contents

      of the pisrol exploded directly , and the whole charge took effect on the ri ^ ht cheek of Rassum , the powder breaking and entering the skin , and a strong wadding striking him with great'force on the temple . Tne skin has been since removed by Mr . Sanausl Smith ( under whose care he is placed ) , and V 7 e are glad ta hear he is doing well . We are told that the lad who was the cause of the mischief , has been occasionally employed to carry out pipes by Mr . Lonsdale , and that , after the accident , he was sent wi : h some pipes from Mr . Lonsda ' ie ' s shop , after which he absconded , and lias not Einee been heard of . We understand he declare ? positively his ignorance of the pistol being loaded .

      A Spree . —On Monday last , two young men , named John Webster and James Dawson , were charged at the Court-House with having been found at an early hour on Sunday morning , in an unoccupied house , 'in Bridge-street , with a felonious intent . A Sergeant of the Mghtly Watch staled that he received information that two young men were amusing themselves by knocking at people's doors , and in passing ^ lorjg Bridge-street , in whic . ' i direc : ion they had gone , he heard s voice in the house in question , and in trying to obtain access the door was pushed against him . He ultimately got in and found the prisoners ; there were sundry articles of furniture in the house , which had been placed there "for convenience of pale , " some of which had been broken

      either by the prisoners or some other party . On being asked what they had to say , Webster said he had' enlisicd , and was about to leave the town ; he had met with Darrson , on Saturday nii > bi , and they a ^ rted lo r . ave a spree before he set off . They accordingly went and had some drink , after which they ? e : off in search of a house of ill fame , and knowing the one in which they were found to be such they "went in , having found the door open , and from the fact of furniture being there , they bad no doubt they were right , until thewatchman disturbed them . They denied having injured anythinij . or that they were there whh any felonious intent . The magistrates , however , thought otherwise , and not beiieving their story entirely , sent them for a month to Waksfield .

      FaTal Accident . —Oa Tu *»« ay morning , an inquest wSs held at the house of Mr . Ingham , the George Inn , Xirkstall , before Mr . E . C . Hopps , deputy coroner , on view of the body of John Firth , the son of Mr . Henry Firth , carrier , of Calverlty Moor , near Bradford . Tl » e deceased left Bradford on Saturday afternoon last , with his fatherV waggon , drawn by three horses , to proceed to Leeds with goods , as we understand , for the railway . He was passing through Kirkstall about nine o ' eloek , and was observed by several persons to be seated on the shafts of the wagK"D , there heum several other parties in ? ide ihe waggon . He passed the George Inn . which fronts the bJthway , and very

      soon after tne horses were observed suddenly to start eff . from what cause ia not known , and the deceased was seen to fall . The horses and waggon passed on , the wheels not having gone over him from his havrng fallen longitudinally along the road . . When taken up he was qui-e dead , there not being any signs of either brui ? es or blood about the body . The body wa . 3 removed to the George Inn , and Mr . Ma ' chill , turgton , was bent for ; shat gentleman , wh-n examined at the i \> quest , gave it as his opinion that the Budden shock by which h » - had been ibrovra oS the waggon , and the fall on the ground , ba . 1 dislocated ihe vertebra of the neck , injured the rpinal marrow , and ruptured the vessels of the heart . Sensation bad evidently ceased at once ,

      and instant death been occasioned . There was the appearance of a contused mark on the left side both before and behind , but he did not think the wheel of the waggon had gone over him , though it might have touched him . The Jury , after hearing the evidence returned a verdict of ** Accidental Death . ' The deceased was twenty-four years of age , and was generally respected ; he was exceedingly corpulent , and the weather being hot , decomposition had actually , commenced ; great complaints were made , not only by the landlord of the house , but by some of the jury , at the delay which had arisen in holding the inquest , and Mr . Hopps was questioned on the subject . That gentleman replied , that Mr . Blaekburne had left home on Saturday , and previous to his having had notice of his intention he had made arrangements to meet a party on important

      professional hnsiness at Addingham , on Monday . ^ Xo attend to that he had left home on Saturday himself , and the business did not terminate until six on Monday evening . He felt sorry for the delay , and lor the unpleasantness * hich it had occasioned , bat from Sunday intervenine , it had in this ease been unavoidable . — Connected with this accident , another occurred , from which the suffering party is not yet pronounced out of danger . A sweep who was returning to Leeds had obtained leave Ig nae in the waggon , and when the horses Btarted off , and Firth was thrown down , he attempted to jump out . In doing bo he fell , and the wheels of the waggon passed over his thigh , causing a compound fraclnre , besides injuring the toes on his other foot , ihe poor fellow was taken ap and removed to Leeds Infirmary , where he still remainB .

      KEIGHLEY " . —A vestry meeting took place in thisxuwn . or Friday last , for the purpose of laying a church rate for the ensuing year . At five minutes to eleven o ' clock , Mr . Bu ? fieJd , the parish parson , attended by a group of pot-bellied landlords , two magistrates , two or three brandy-gpinners , two auctioneers , a deputy-constable , a number of bumbai ' .-. ff .-, lawyers , and others , to the number of thirty , entered the church . At eleven , the vestry door was opeued , and in rushed tha working men , who numbered about three hundred . The place being too small , the Parson , without any motion being made , adjourned the meeting into tho churchyard , where he soon seated himself on his official tripod . After some small talk , he mounted the

      sacred stool , and , ia true parsonic style , endeavoured to humbug the people , by appealing to vheir softer passions , bu : it was " no go ;" . they had not forgot the clocks , tables , desks , and Wood he had seized upon for Easter dues , and other gross impositions . " The swinish multitude" did not relish such canting hypocrisy . The Parson seeing this , immeaiately called upon Mr . Wm . Marrener , churchwarden , to read over the various items , to meet which the preseut rate was cailed for . Mr . M , hoped a good feeling would be manifested , and the rate , as it was & small one , granted without the matter being brought to a poll . Mr . F . Greenwood , magistrate , then proposed that a rate of" three farthings in the pound be granted to meet the current expences of

      ihe year , and not suffer the sacred edifico to fall into decay , or leave the communicants without the emblems of the flesh aud blood of their dying Lord . Mr . Firth , at this stage of the business , wished to ask the Rev . CLairmau , a question , namely , if . tho parishioners , should move . a counter resolution to the one they intended to submit to the meeting , and in the event of its being carried , and should the church party demand a poll , would ho fix upon Tuesday as the day for commenpin ^? " 1 shall reserve to myself the right of fixing any day I please , " was the reply . It was then moved by a working man named John Waterhou ? e , and seconded by Mr . John Saiiirt , " that tins meeting do adjourn to this day twelvo months . " Fond a * s the clergy are of pies not their

      own , his Reverence did not relish this " gruut , " and refined t <> put the motion . It was then proposed by Mr . Joseph Firth , a fearless veteran in tho radical ranks , " Teat , as the Rev . chairman refused to do his duty , he should vacate the chair , and that it ba taken by Mr . Robert Atkinson , hatter and grocer , a man of the strictest integrity , intelligence , liberality of principle and moral worth . '' On being stcouded and put to the meeting , all the blistered hands were instantly up , and it waa triumphantly carried . The official locust further insulted the meeting by refusing to vacate thechair * Ttieasstmbled parishioners made repeated calls for the person

      who had been selected as their chairman , but lie was not willing to yield to their call , for reasons which on any ether occasion would have had no weight wi : h him . Mr . F . Greenwood then seized the books and ran off with them , and a few true sons of mother church seized the table aud tried to up-3 et it . After the row had subsided , and a poll had been demanded , Messrs . Atkinson , Waterhouse , and Firth , mounted a grave stone , and the two iatter administered a severe and well-merited castigaiion to the church party . Mr . F . Greenwood threatened to read the riot act , in order to quell the disturbance he had created , by surreptitiously running off with the books .

      Beaufort IbonWobks . — The following extraordinary circumstance lately occurred at these works : —It appears that Mr . John Edmunds , master smith , had Jor the last twelve years suffered at times a very severe pain a little below his shoulder . He had applied to several medical gentlemen for advice , and taken large quantities of medicine , but all proved ineffectual . Last week , feeling the same sensation as if he bad been pricked with a pin , Mr . Edmunds put his hand down his back and found something very sharp , bnt took ' no further notice , fancying that it was a small particle of iron that bad ihd from some of the other smiths , and stuck fast in his flannel fchirt . In a few hours afterwards he was Bitting

      down to dinner , when he felt a similar sensation , and asked Mrs . Edmunds to examine his back ; and it is a singular faot , that she discovered the point of a needle . Being too anxtoos to get it out she tried with her fingers , but unfortunately put it out of sight , but the next day the point of the needle was seen again . To make sure , they left it until the following day . By that time it had protruded nearly the eighth of an inch , and by applying a small pair of nippers they took out a needle one inch and threeeighths .. in length . Mr ,.

      On Mondat morning , about two o ' clock , the luggage-train from Southampton passed over a man who was asleep , and lying across the rails on Woking-common . The obstruction created by the body firaj gave intimation to tho engine-driver that all was not right , and he stopped the train within a few yards of the spot where tho accident had occurred . The guard and stoker proceeded to search for deceased , whom they found groaning dreadfully , and without the right leg , which had been torn off , and thrown some distance . The poor fellow was carried to the train as carefully as possible . He was conveyed to Nine-elms , but ceased to live before he

      arrived at Esher . When taken upj he said his name was John Mitchell , biit ho bad not power of speech sufficient to state anything further ; When the . train arrived at tho terminus at Nine-elms , tho guard , hoping that the deceased might be only in a state ot syncope , sent for Mr . Strathati , a surgeon in the Wahdsworth road , who , upon his arrival declared the man to have been dead some hours , and attributed his death to excessive hemorrhage . It is but due to the engineer to state that no possible blame cculd bo attached to him . The deceased , who had evidently been drinking deeply , not knowing where he was going , had wandered on to the line , dropped down , and fallen asleep .

A powerful shears wav put up expressly for landing this ponderous piece of ordnance , weighing very nearly eighteen tons , none of the cranes on tho wharf bsing equal to the task , Tho arrangements for landing this great gun were excellently made , and carried into effect without the slightest accident , and the labour of conveying it to the butt shows « reat ingenuity , being effected by a coil of strong rope around it , moving tho immense mass in a rolling manner along fuur largo logs of wood , changed alternately

      aa the gun progresses . This gun is made on the howitzer . principle , and is about twelve feet long , with an immense quantity of metal at tho breech .
