HYMNS FOR WORSHIP : without Sectarianism , and adapted to the present state of the Church ; with » I ? x * o ! Scripture for each hjmn Joshca Hobsok , Market-street , Leeds . Yhis litVe book will supply a desideratum which fejs been severely felt : the want of a proper hymn book to £ il op the space usually devoted to sinking in the Sunday meetings of the people . We feel perfectly assured ih&t whenever it is known h will coke tt once into general use . We give one hymn as a sample of the book : —
SOD WILL AT £ ? iGE OPPRESSION . •< The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them ; Yitaa * they reluae to do judgment . "— Proverbs xri . 7 . The sscred truth explore , Te humble Tirtuous poor I JhB lords of labour ! these are they , Tns needy who devour . They mar the face of earth ; They take the right of birth From those whom , with insulting power , They doom to toil and dearth . The fuloess of the land They hold within their band ; Homage froKi those whom God declares Their brethren , they demand .
Bat soon their nee ahall end , And liberty descend From Heaven above , when truth and love Shall righteousness defend . The hymns are ail of the same character—genuine poetry and genuine Chartism . There is no humbug , bh ay theological sectarianism in them . The appropriate texts over each hymn will also be found rarj convenient to lecturers , directing them to proper moaoei of discourse , &sd sometimes suggesting rateable ideas .

HOIJaFIETH . —Tricks of thk " Piagcb " For some time back a correspondence has been carried on between the Chartists of HolmSrth and some of the members belonging to tbe Anti-Corn-Law Repeal Association of that place respecting a discussion on the question of the repeal of the Corn Laws . The Chartists , after receiving three letters from their opponents , one of them signed by Mr . George Robinson , Secretary to tbe R- peal Association , and stating his willingness to meet Mr . David Boss , and with him discuss the qnestion at is ? ue , ventured to publish a placard fixing the discussion to to take place in the Town Hall , Holmfirth , on Friday , the third instant , where Mr . Ross would attend U maintain , against his
opponentfirst—, That a Repeal of the Corn Laws , so far from improving the condition of the labouring poor , will only confer power upon that class of the community which has already , by the introduction of machinery , abridged the comtorts , and impoverished the condition of the labouring millions . Second , That the parties now seeking for such repeal of the corn laws , are not actuated by high and patriotic desireB and intentions towards all classes of tbe community ; but are rather seeking their own exclusive and especial advantage at the expense of the rest . The discussion being thus before the public , Mr . George Robinson , with a friend or two , met the Chartists on Monday the 1 st inst ., at the Shoulder of Mutton Inn , Holmflrth , for the purpose of makiDg
proper arrangements for proceeding with the same at the appointed time . It should be remembered that the Chartists had taken tbe Town Hall on their own respoesibility in consequence of the Leaguers having previously refused to have any thing to do with the expence . It appears they had now got it into their heads by some means or other , that there was not likely to be any loss attending the expence of the Hall , and they wished to go at one half the expence , and have 300 tickets , and the Chartists the same number . This appears fair enough if unaccompanied with any unfair condition ; but in the true spirit of the faction , their fair offer was rendered odious by the condition with which it was accompanied . The Chartists who had
been at all the toil and trouble of bringing the affair into its present state of forwardness wero to have 300 tickets as well as the Leaguers , and to have the benefit of all ihe surplus tickets , if any ; but Bhould the Chartists have sold all their three hundred tickets before the Leaguers had sold theirs ; the Chartists were not to be allowed to sell any more , until all the tickets of their opponents had been disposed of . With these conditions , the Chartists refused to comply . The consequence was that no arrangement was agreed on for proceeding with the discussion . The next that wa 3 known of the ittention of tha Leaguers was by placards being posted , staling That no one connected with the committee of the anti-Corn Law Association of Holmfirib , had
had anything to do with the getting up of the discussion advertised by the Chartists to take place on the 5 : h inst ., in the Town Hall , and no one belonging to that party would attend lo take part in tbe proceedings . They the ( Leaguers ) could' spend their time better ; this placard was signed George Robinson , secretary to the Holmfirth Repeal Association The Chartists issued a counter placard stating that they had letter * in their possession signed by Mr . G . Robinson himself ' , waich would prove that the Leaguers had had something to do with the getting np of the discussion ; that Mr . Ross would be in the Town Hall at the time appointed ; that the letters of the Leaguers would be read at the meeting , and every working man was emphatically called upon
to be at his post . The meeting took place accordingly , and by eight o ' clock on the 5 ; h inst . tbe Hall was well filled with an anxious and expectant i audience . Mr . William Cnnningham was unani-1 mou 3 ly elected to the chair . The chairman , on opening the bnsiness of tha meeting , entered into a , somewnat lengthy detail respecting the correspond- \ ence that had taken place between the Leaguers and the ChartistB . After which , Mr . Binns read three letters which had been received from the party rep-j resenting the Leaguers . Mr . James Birdsell ' ' then came forward and made some statements , 1 the intenrien of which appeared to be to vindicate j his own party ( the Leaguers ) from the charge of in- { consisWDcy , which he could not but feel wouJdrest ;
npon them from the effect , that the remarks of the Chairman , and the letters which had bees read were , calculated to have upon the minds of the people , i Bat what he had to say teemed to have so liitle effect upon the meeting , that he was requested by Mr . j Ross , and afterwards by one of his own party to sit ' down , with which request he at last complied , and ' by doingso . gave great satisfaction to all partis s . The I Chairman then introduced Mr . David Ross , who was i received with the most rapturous applause . Mr . i Ross commenced his address with a right good will , ; like ope who knew his work , and was willing to do i it . His work was to give ihe death blow to faotjon , j and well he played his part . He smashed the hollow arguments of the Le&iruers to shreds . He ' ,
stripped off the veil with which they hide their de- . formity from the public gaz- ? , and left their naked ( ugliness exposed lo the scorn and indignation of an insulted and imt > overished people . He contrasted the , life of the agricultural labourer , and the factory Ela-ve . and by the most convincing argument proved ; that God and nature intended the land as the proper field for the labour of man . He taught the people ; that their interests were distinct from the interests ' , of faction ; that their strength is in the combina- tion of numbers and intellect . No report could do . justice to his speech ; near upon two hours did he con- vince with bis reasons and charm with his eloquence .
The only interruptions he received were from the cheers of his delighted hearers . He ha 3 won golden opinions from the democrats of Holmfirth , and long may he live to enjoy them . When he sat down the hall echoed and re-echoed with thunders of applause . The applause having subsided he Baid it would give him pleasure to answer any question that might be asked him by any gentleman except those who had denied th ^ ir own placards . With such gentlemen he would hold no conversation , ) e ? t they should deny to-morrow what they had said to-day . — Mr . Abel Hineheliff who had been taking notes all tbe time , here stood up and said , as he bad nothing to do . eiiher with the letters which had been read or the
placards , he hoped the Chairman would give him permission to ask Mr . Rosa a few questions . He then began to Tead from his note book , prefacing every separate not * with , Mr . Ross says . " But Abel is a man very slow of speech , and he imposed each a tax upon the oatienee of the meeting , that no assembly in the world could be found long to endure withont being liable to the charge of rebellion . Sometimes be would be a minute or two in making out a line of hia iiotes . Then some one would cry good humouredly , " Nov ? , Abel lad , spell it , get on . " If he happened to give utterance to a sentence , ' the cry was , " Well done , Abel lad , thou art giving ; it them now ; go on , lad ; thou does well . " Abel blushed not , he fl-nched not , but hammered away at
his own pace , which made seme one cry out , " Thou ; art the best cast metal orator that evti 1 saw in my life . " This scene lasted half an hour ; and was to i the meeting as a rich dessert to a feast . But as such things may be enjoyed until thty lo&e their relish , so it was with Abel ' s performance ;—the impatience of i the meeting began to develope itself in symptoms too strong to be maintained ; and at tbe request of ) his friends , Abel sat down . —Mr . George Robinson here came forward , and was allowed to retail a little of the League trash . Mr . . Moss made a triumphant , reply , and sat down amidst the most unbounded applause . A vote of thanks being given to Mr . [ Ross and one tothe chairman , the meeting broke up , j highly ddighted and edified with the proceedings , j Correspondent .
CASUSZiB . —Lecttbes on Electbicitt , Galvamsji , Ei . EcrBo-MAG > £ TisM and Fkeujutics . —In the course of Us ; week , tour lectures on the above subjects have been delivered by a Mr . William j Ricnardson , of Bradford iu Yorkshire , in the lee- ; ture ioom oi ike AtfceLseum . The two first lectures , embraced the subjects of Electricity , Galvanism , and Electro-Ma ^ netism ; and the two latter the subject of Pneumatics . The fir 3 t lecture was not j so numerously attended , in consequence , no doubt , ; of the extraordinary abilities of the lecturer , and bis perfect , beautiful , and extensive apparatus , being in a ? reat measure unknown in Carlisle ; but ; such was the gratification and satisfaction felt by : the audience on the first evening , that the remaining
lectures were much more numerously attended . We-have no space for noticing the great variety ot subjects connected with the useful and interesting sciences , on which the lecturer treated ; but we cannot too much praise his style of lecturing , and his convincing and beautiful experiments in illustration and demonstration of the great and important truths which ho uttered . The simplicity of language , and originality of thought which he displayed in his observations , rendered them at once agreeable and instructive ; and while he not unfrequently approached the subhrne and beautiful , his quaint and facetious manner of relating striking anecdotes bearing upon his subject , had a happy effect on the minds of his audience . It is not
sufficient , we conceive , simply to give utterance to , truths , however clear they may be to the philoso- , phers ; but it is absolutely necessary to demonstrate . those truths beyond the possibility of doubt , to tbe j young and unthinking , so that a taste and desire ; may be created in their minds , for searching after \ useful knowledge . Mr . Richardson does this most < effectually , for he never fails in a single experiment , which he makes in illustration of his subject , j ThiB is what renders abstruse studies agreeable . to the y * ung mind , and gives it a relish for the study of those seienees which would otherwise appear dull and unprofitable , j " How charming is divine philosophy ; j Xot harsh and crabbed as dull fools suppose , But musical , as is Apollo ' s lute . "
The presence of such men as Mr . Richardson is : especially called for in this age of false philosophy j and mesmeric delusion , for it is highly important to j tht well-being of society , that the minds of tbe

rising gen-ration Bhou . 'd be properly directed , so that they may not onlf ^ e , and duly appreciate the great truths of philosop hy , but be thu-i led " from Nature up to Nature ' s GV > d : " leaving far behind those low and grovelling" follies , which unhappily characterise the present ag ^ - ' All nature is bnt art unknown to tbe » . All chance direction which thou cansfc - not see ; All discord , harmony not understood ; All partial evil , universal good ; In spite of pride in erring reason ' s spite ; One troth is clear , whatever is is right "
The immortal Pope wrote those beautiful truths , but it has been left for such men as our friend , Mr . Richardson , to demonstrate them , and to bring them home to men ' s business and bosoms . In the course of the first lecture , Mr . Richardson threw out a suggestion for the consideration of the owners of coal mines , where life was so frequently destroyed from the serious effects of fire damp . Nothing more would be required , he said , than a galvanic battery , placed at the top of the pit , and a communication kept up by a piece of apparatus like that exhibited , in which was secured a piece of platina , which being subjected to the action of the battery , would be heated to whiteness , and would at once detect the presence of fire-damp by exploding it . The means were so simple , that there could be no excuse for not having them put into operation every morning previous to the descent of the miners , whose lives were so often endangered by the want of this precaution .

Destructive Fiee at Brighton . —The inhabitants of North-street and the neighbourhood were alarmed on Sunday morniDg , soon alt * r Saturday's midnight , by a cry of "fire , " and on proceeding in the direction indicated by the li ^ ht , Mr . Broad ' s candle-manufactory iu Spring-gardens was found enveloped in flames . An engine was soon on the spot , bui some time elapsed before a supply of wat ^ r conld be obtained , and when at length it was procured , the engine was found to be uselsss . Two other engines were , therefore , sent for from Western-road and Upper St . JamesVstreet , and , in the meantime a large btock of candles , amounting to about S , 000 dcz n , was removed from from the lovrtr part of the premises into tbe sireet . Pjesently the other engines arrived , and their hos ? being added to that already on the fire-plug , a copiou 3 supply of water was
obtained , and in a quarter of an hour the flames were subdued to such an i xtent as to place the rest of the premi > es , and the adjjining houses , out of danger . Neither the furniture nor the stock was insured . The house , which belongs to Mr . Turpen , has been injured to the extent of about £ 300 , and the total loss may perhaps be estimated at £ l , C 00 . In the house at the time there was about £ 30 in gold and silver , and the coins were melted by the heat sufficiently to cause the whole to unite in a mass , but they still bear more or less distinctly the impression of the die . About £ 40 worth ot bills were also destroyed ; but with regard to these no loss will accrue , as the purties , there is no donbt , will renew their acceptances . A large quantity of the candles removed from the store during the progress of the fire , as well as furniture from the adjoining houses , was , we regret to say , carried off by the crowd .
Baron Gtsnev . —In a memoir of the late Dr . Blak ^ , the much-respected physician and magistrate of Taunton , which appears in the last month ' s Ch > ktian Reformer , h is stated , " At this time U 793 4 ) it was that in company with the late Mr .

Muir , Palmer , and Skirvmg , at the hulks at Woolwich , and was instrumental in obtaining for them a small library before leaving this country for Botany Bay—martyrs
to opinions which are now recognized by the great majority of the people of this country , and which form the basis of many of our existing Jaws and political institutions .

Lobd Cardigan in Dublin . —The Mercantile Advertiser contains the following curious statement : — The officers of the 4 th Dragoon Guards , stationed in this city , with a view , as we learn from a correspondent , to take Lord Cardigan ( recently arrived in command of the 11 th nsssars ) out of the awkward position in which he is placed in general military society , invited him to a dinner , it being arranged that several other guests were to dine at the mess on the same evening . At the appointed hour—seven o ' clock—a splendid banquet was prepared ; and , as his Lordship has the reputation of extreme punctuality , the comnanv were in waiting at 7 sharp . But
Lord Cardigan was not there ; and , accordingly , the dinner was delayed in momentary expectation of his coming . However , time wore on . The eleefc Btrack 8 , and the company , surprised &AfiT&t , be « &i&e impatient . 9 o ' clock arrived , and 10 was approaching , when , according to our informant , much , indignation was excited by the arrival of an orderly dragoon , with a verbal message from the noUe Earl , apologizing for its inability to dine at the » es 8 , in consequence of the awkwardness of the stable regulations . We give this statement as U has reached us , and as we have heard the affair spok « n of in places of public resort . If the story ahou ' . d prove groundless , or even exaggers ted ^ we shall be gwd to do justice to Lord Cardigan ..

Mjddtjb-Class Sympathy . —We take the following from a ) uic number of the Nottingham Review . — " A Pozer . —The steward of a nobleman , in the centre of this county , recommended a reduction in the labourers' wages , to meet the income tax ; then , ' said tho nobleman , ' if wages are to come down , I must begin at the head first , aud that person is you ' The steward , it 13 almost needless to add , was instantly mute . Tho wages were not reduced , bat the labourers owe no thanks to the steward . ' We suspect there are few operatives in factories and manuf actories of all kinds who could not bear similar testimony to the re adiness of the lickspittles of all grades-overlookers , foremen , &o . to sympathize with their'Jotv wages and many privations .

Wom > ebful Escape of a Miner . —On Saturday week , three men went down an old pit at Pen-y-Ball , with a view to recommence the workings ; two of them came safe up : but as the third had put his foot into the bucket for the purpose of being wound up , the whole fell in and closed upon him . This happened a little before noon . Men from all quarters flocked about the place to offer every assistance . From the insecure state of the ground , operations could not be commenced until two o'clock . An awful silence prevailed , and the systematic management adopted was beyond all praise , —the men being
relieved every hour . About eight o ' clock at night they heard the poor fellow praying them speedily to release him , and about one o ' clock on the morning of Sunday , he was heard praying most fervently to his Maker . His friends renewed their labours with redoubled energy , and , at half-past four in the morning , he was rescued from his Jiving sepulchre , after being buried near seventeen hours . He was immediately conveyed home , without bodily injury , but nearly petrified by cold ; had he been left a liitle longer , he must have perished . Strong hopes are entertained of his ultimate recovery . —Carnarvon Herald .
Marriage of the Siamese Twins . —There are few of our readers in this city or in any of the principal town 9 in the country who have not seen the famous united brothers , the Siamese twins . They have been residing for several year ? past in North Carolina , where they purchased a plantation . We had not heard of them for a long time , when we received a letter yesterday from a correspondent in North Carolina , informing us that they had entered into a state of double blessedness . Our correspondent says— "OnThursday , April 13 th , wpre married at Wilkes county , North Caroliua , by Elder Colby Sparks , of the Baptist church , Messrs . Chang and Eng , the Siamese twin brothers , to Misses Sarah and Adelaide , daughters of Mr . David Yeates , of Wilks county , North Carolina .

Another alarming Fire in Formby Street , Liverpool . —About one o ' clock on Saturday morning , the policeman on duty in the neighbourhood discovered a fire on the premises belonging , we believe , to Messrs . Ashton and Ginn , boatbuilders on the south sido of Formby-street , and adjoining the west wall of the fire-proof warehouses that were preserved from deptruotion by the great fire in Spj > tember last . The intelligence was conveyed with all possible speed to the Fire-police station , to Mr . Maxwell arid other gentlemen whose presence was desirable ; and Mr . Hewitt , Mr . Quick , and other superintendents , with an adequate force of the Firepolice , fire-enginos , and water-carts , were quickly on the spot . Several other gentlemen were also in
attendance , and rendered all possible assistance . The greatest activity was displayed by all parties , and the utmost exertions employed ; but from the start the fire had obtained , and from the nature of ihe premises , being the smithy , carpenters' shops , Ice , surrounded by piles of dry planks , the fire had assumed analarming appearance , and had nigh completed the destructiou of the premises wherein it originated before the engines could be got effectually into play . The windows and doors were burnt out , the interior apparently gutud , and a quantity of wood destroyed , before a sufiioienoy of water could be obtained . However , some hoses were passed through through the dock wall , and planted in the dock with great alacrity ; and in a few miuutes after the engines got into full play , its
fury was considerably abated . By two o ' clock there was no longer any fear that it would extend beyond the premises it had at first taken possession of , and which were now nearly demolished . The engines however , were kept vigorously at work for nearly an hour afterwards , and a little before three o'clock the fire was extinguished . It affords us much pleasure to notice again the efficiency and zeal of our Firepolice establishment , under the direction of Mr . Hewitt , the superintendent of tho establishment , assisted by Mr . Dowling , Commissioner of the Police in the absence of Mr . Whitty , who is at present on business in London . Had there been a supply of water in the mains , they would have put the fire out in a few minutes . The premises , we understand , are insured .
The New Governor-General of Canada . —Sir Charles Metcalfe , the new Governor-General of Canada , has arrived at Kingston , the seat of Government . The Chronicle of that place contains a long account of his reception , which was in a high degree flattering . The corporation of Kingston , with the Vice-Mayor ( the Mayor having accompanied Sir Charles from England ) , crossed over to Watertown to meet him . and on his landing an address was presented . His Excellency crossed on the ice from Long Island , and on arriving at the wharf in Kingston , entered a beautiful four-horse sleigh that had been provided , and passed through a double line of soldiers , escorted by numerous societies , &c , to the house prepared for his reception : The lollowmg is from the
Chronicle : — " Sir C . Metcalfe on his arrival was instantly waited upon by Captain Bagot , and Sir C . Bagot ' s sleigh was placed at the disposal of the new Governor-General . Sir C . Metcalfe stood at the window of his drawing-room and bowed to the different companies who came up in procession , and after giving his Excellency three cheers each , turned and retired . At 4 p . m . his Excellency went to Alwingtonhouse to visit Sir Charles Bagot . On the following day , Thursday , the 30 ih ultimo , his Excellency met the ExecutiveCounc . il and the Judges at Alwingtonhousc , and in presence of the naval and military authorities and heads of departments , was sworn into office , after having the Royal commissions appointing him Governor-General , &c , opened and read . It was , we have understood , the anxious wish of Sir Cnarles Baget to be present at this ceremony , and to transfer to his successor the great seal wiih
his own hands . The Executive Council were also sworn in . Much of the display usual upon such occasions was dispensed with out of deference to Sir Charles Bagot , in his state of health , which would not admit of his presence at the installation of his successor . His Excellency was not permitted by bis medical attendant to leave his bed . At a lator hour , the whole of the members of the Executive Council had an interview with Sir Charles Bagot , in compliance with his special desire , at which Sir Charles took an impressive and affeotionate leave of his late advisers . The scene at the moment was calculated to affect all minds , and we have been assured that all present were deeply moved . The issue of bulletins of his Exeellency Sir Charles Bagoi ' t ; health has been discontinued , but the accounts state that his Excellensy is in some degree better . "—Canadian Paper .
Alabming Accident . —On Tuesday last , the town crier here announced that a public meeting would then take place , and that Mrs . Fryer would deliver a lecturo on the principles of total abstinence from spirituous liquors . The place selected for the meeting was a large attic loft , built about fifty years since for the purpose of drying serges , situate at the back premises of Mr . John Eales , draper , Eaststreet . At eight o ' clock it is supposed there were about 400 persons assembled to hear the lecture , consisting of men , women , and children ; and while a gentleman from Torquay waa delivering an introductory address , and expatiating on his own inability of imparting powerful impression on the subject to the audience—he emphatically told them
( there being a slight confusion amongst the party in tho meeting at the time , and the chairman repeatedly calliug order ) that there was a giant just behind ( meaning , it is presumed , Mrs . Fryer ) , who would speedily step forward and quell all' interruptionwhen in a moment , as if by magic , a large portion of the flooring suddenly gave way , precipitating a great part of the audience to the middle floor , which contained several hundreds of bushels of oats , aud fortunately prevented the breaking of many necks , a 3 numbers of persons came down head foremost on the grain ; and their additional weight coming so rapidly on this floor , caused it also to give way , and a great many persons were literally buried in oats and rubbish on the
ground floor , having fallen from three stories high . The shrciks of the females , tbe cries of the children , and the groans of the maimed and wounded , were ai this time truly beart-rending . Tbe pressure of the falling beams , and the number of parsons , burst out a window aboufc ten feet in length on the ground floor , which formed an egress fe * those who were able to get out , and admitted many who came to the rescue of those who were injured . Fortunately . no lives have been lost , and the " h&ir-bxeadth ' scapeB " which many experienced rendar their preservation truly miraculous . After the accident the ground floor was literally strewed with hats , caps , bonnets , shoes , and » variety of other articles of . diess , mostly
belonging to females . Many persons were obliged to be carried to their homes , and are now suffering from woosds , bruises , Sea . As many were sitting on forma aad chairs when , the accident occurred , they fell backwards , and some went through the opening and performed complete summersets before they reached terra firma . Singular to relate , that portion of the attic floor appropriated for the station of the lecturer , chairman , &c , did not give way , and they remained affrighted spectators of the awful catas « trophe , which afforded them a striking picture of an earthquake in miniature . It is hoped this circumstance will be acautioo in future against parties selecting feeble fabrics for the assembling of large audiences . — Western Times .

The whole of the Rifles , nearly 800 strong , with the women , children , and baggage of the regiment , were brought down from Manchester , on Monday week , in a single railway train , consisting of fifty-four carriages .
Anxikty . —AnxJety usually produces a misanthropic selfishness , in which we wrap ourselves as in a mantle : thus we become dark , gloomy , and repulsive ; and the amiable self-rsepect that in our better days sustains and keeps us far above the reach of sordid thoughts and actions , becomes in the darker hour of our destiny the source of heavy afflictions : henco result an unhealthy action of the Stomach , Liver , and other Viscera , causing Indigestion , and its well known consequences . For the correction of these distressing complaints , FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH affords a simple and effective remedy .

The Unknown Tongue . —A facetious gentleman
travelling in pursuit of pleasure , on arriving at his lodgings in the evening , was met by the hostler , whom he thus addressed : — "Boy , extricate that quadruped from the vehicle—stabnlate him—devote him adequate supply of nutritious aliment ; and when the aurora of morn shall again illuminate the horizon , I shall award you a pecuniary compensation for your amiable hospitality . " The boy , not understanding a word , ran into the house , saying , " Master , here's a Dutchman wants to see you . "Baptist Herald .
Take care of the Vidders . —Quite a mistake lately took place in a love affair at the north . A couple of young fools agreed to elope together , and by some mistake in the preliminary arrangements , the male lover put his ladder to the window next to that in which her anxious mamma , a handsome widow , reposed . She turned the mistake to her own advantage , got into his arms , returned his affectionate embraces , was borne by him to the carriage , and by preserving a becoming silence until day-light , kept him blind to his error , and then , by the potent power of her blandishments , actually charmed him into matrimony with herself . —New York paper .
Payment of Members an Old Usage . —Thrifty boroughs and economical corporations appear to have been in the habit of driving hard bargains with their would-be members . There has been preserved a curious indenture of agreement between John Strange , member for Dunwich , and his constituents , so far back as a d . 14 b 3 , by which it is witnessed that " John Strange granteth by these presents to be one of the burgesses for Dunwich , at the parliament to be holden at Westminster , for which , whether it hold for longer time or Bhort , or whether it fortune to be prorogued , tho said John Strange granteth no mbre to be taken for his wages than a cade full of herrings , and a half barrell full of herrings , to be delivered on Christmas next coming . " Still better terms
were insisted on , with the progress of refinement , by the cunning corporation of Weatbury . " One Thoma& . Long , a very simple man , and unfit to serve , had crept into Queen Elizabeth ' s parliament of 1571 . When questioned how he came to be elected , he confessed ' that he gave the mayor of Westbury and another £ 4 for his place . '" The house was greatly shocked , in those primitive days , at the notion of their member paying , instead of being paid , for a seat ; and immediately ordered the mayor and town council to disgorge the money , to appear to ana we r such things as should be objected agaiust them , and to suffer a penalty of £ 20 for their scandalous attempt . In the reign of Edward II . and long afterwards , the wages of a knight of the shire was four shillings a
day , and of a burgees two shillings . To this was added a charge fur going and returning , which appeared the most reasonable , when parliaments were held capriciously at Windsor , Carlisle , or York . The smaller borough . " and poorer counties grumbled loudly at these burdens , and often would fain have renounced the honours of representation to keep their shillings in their purses . Upon the more opulent constituencies various statutes ( one of the 32 ch Henry VII 1 . ) confirmed this imposition . The members of the Rump received four pounds a week each . The custom continued after the restoration ; but , in 1617 , Sir Harbottle G rims ton brought in a bill to repeal
the statute of wages ; there was a strong opposition to it , but it obtained a second reading in a singular manner . Andrew Marvel was the last who exacted the provisions of the statute ; for he preferred honest poverty to a courtier ' s corrupt wealth , and tbe cold meat of yesterday to luxurious viands at the expense of his country ' s freedom . The patriot who spurned Danby's bribe of a note for £ 1 , 000 , when that corrupt minister scaled his garr&t , might well demand his shillings from the constituents to whose interests he devoted his time , and whose public interests he would not sell or barter . —A then mum Review of Townsend ' s History of the House of Commons .
Terrible Affair . —The Mobile Herald , of the 4 th ult . r says— " Captain Post , of the schooner Augusta , from Havannah , has communicated to us the following particulars of an affair which happened before he left : —On the night of the 21 st ul \ , the cars of the Havannah railroad , when distant about 60 miles from the city , were attacked by a party of brigands , numbering about 150 to 200 men , who robbed the passengers ( numbering some 75 ) of their money , watches , and other valuables , wounding those who resisted , and outraging the females . They effected the robbery by piling across the rails
a quantity of rocks and trees , which , upsetting the cars , threw the passengers out in a state of confusion , and prevented their making a timely resistance . After acting as we have stated , the villains escaped , the passengers , making their way back to the city , spread the alarm . 500 soldiers were dispatched to the place where the robbery had been committed , and after marching round some days , discovered the retreat of the villains ; an engagement took place on both sides , and a score of the banditti were taken prisoners and carried to the city , bound hand aud toot .

Judicious Advice . —A young Irishwoman , accused at the bar of the Police Court of being a party to deserting her infant , with the view of having it placed on the parish , was queried and advised by Bailie Hastie this morning as follows : —Bailie— How long have you beenheie ? Prisoner—Two years , y ' er honour . —How have you maintained yourself during that time \ Why , I ' ve been in parvice a little , and I ' ve been dealing a little . I ' m a poor girl , y ' er honour , without father , mother , sister , or brother , or one single soul belonging to me . Bailie—It
seems that has not prevented yon getting yourself with child . ( A laugh . ) Prisoner—True , y'er honour ; but Paddy came over me so—sure he promised to marry me over and over again . ( Laughter . ) Bailie Yes , yes ! that ' all very good , bat you ought to have made sure work of it beforehand . Prisoner— 10 be sure , y'er honour ' s right , and knows well about them things . You may depend 111 take good care next time .

Murdbk . —A man named William Lawson , a farmer , and lessee of the Dean and Chapter of Dot- \ fcam , living at Longshield , on Muggleswickcaamon , was barbarously murdered on Sunday morniag last . It appears , that the deceased , an unmarried man , had allowed his house-keeper to leave the house on the Saturday night , to visit her friends . His house is in a lonely part of the country . On the Sunday morning he had apparently gone to milk the cow , whea it appears that some villain had approached him from behind , and with a stick iufticted very serious injuries on bis head . On consciousness in Bomo measure returning he had crawled about 400 , 5 » ida from the feyre ou the common , -where he was found between four and five o ' cloek on Monday morning in a state of insensibility . In this state he lingered—being all th * timeunabteto speak—uatil about twelve olaek
Wednesday , when be expired o ' . The brother of the unfortunate deceased has been taken into custody and examined before the magistrates at Shotley-bridge on suspicion of being the murderer , and ba was yesterday remanded for further examination . The circiukstances of suspicion against him we understand are , that he had been heard to . threaten bis brother in consequence of some dispute about the property ; that a person similarly dressed to the prisoner had been seen in the neighboojrdood by a shepherd , but at snob a distance as not to allow him to be recognised ; aud that on being asked what time he left the house on the Sunday morning , contradictory stories were given by the prisoner and his wife—the latter stating , that he left at six and returning at eight o ' clock ; whilst the prisoner himself stated , that he did not leave the house till nine and returned at twelvi o ' clock . —Durham Advertiser .

Railroads in Austria . —We learn from Vienna that the baron de Kubeck , President of the Supreme Chamber of France , to whom the King has intrusted the plans and other arrangements for tho projected railway from Viennato Trieste , has recently been over the line for the purpose of ascertaining the best mode
of constructing it , and the most economical way of working it when constructed . He has made several experiments as to the fuel of the districts through , which the road will pass , and has found that which the Germans call brown coal , but which is probably a kind of peat iu an advanced stage , may be used for the locomotives with as good effect as regular black coal . He ha ? also tested at Glocknitz a new process for | thei manufacture of iron by M . de Kestorff , an Aulic Councillor . The result of his experiments is stated to be so satisfactory , that the iron for the rails , locomotives , &c , of the intended railroad will be produced at little more than half the present cost .
Monument to Old Parr . —We hear that preliminary steps have been taken to erect a monument to the memory of Old Parr . It will be placed in a commanding situation near Shrewsbury on the summit of the far-famed Wrekin , and thus overlook the birth-place of this remarkable man . The subscribers , who are very numerous , consist of those who have reaped benefit to their health through the efficacy of Parr ' s Life Pills ; they have determined on adopting the design offered by Mr . Carver : viz
a baae seven feet square placed on a plinth of twelve feet square ; three sides of the base will be sculptured in relief , and will present allegorical designs , representing , in various aspects , the joy and comfort which succeeds a restoration from disease and pain . The remaining square will be devoted to a brief eulogy on his merits , date of his birth , death , fco . This will be surmounted by a full-sized statue of Parr , supported by emblematical figures of strength and health in the act of placing a chaplet of evergreen on the old Patriarch ' s brows .
Winter Gaol Delivery . —We believe we are correct hi asserting that there is every probability that for the future a general gaol delivery will take place throughout England early in the winter . The awful increase of crime in the country , together with the vast number of offences handed over to the assizes for trial , have caused our assize calendars to assume an appearance bnlky beyond all precedent . The late circuit has been remarkable for the overwhelming amount of its criminal business ; upon every circuit , and in every county , the same overcharged calender has presented itself ; indeed , so exceedingly heavy has been the crown business of tho a . » size ? , that the ordinary judges have been wholly unequal to the task of dispose of it , had the various queen ' s counsel who were joined in the commission of oyer and terminer , were called in requisition for the purpose of trying the numerous prisoners arraigned at the bar . —Justice of Peace .
Extensive Seizure of Foreign Goods . —On Thursday morning a seizure of four hundred bales of foreign goods bearing an English manufacturer's mark , was made in the St .

The bales had been entered by Baring , Brothers , for the warehouse of Taylor and Bell , Fresh Wharf ( one of the legal quays ) ; and three hundred and seventy-five were in course of transit in lighters belonging to that firm . The discovery was made from the simple incident of one of the bales being landed at the docks in error , when the officer caused it to be opened , and made the , discovery that every piece of cotton goods , of which there are 20 in each bale , 30 yards long , bore the stamp of ' Stark Mills , Manchester .

Liverpool Cork Market , Monday , May 15 . — During the past week the arrivals of Oatmeal to this port have been moderate , and those of other articles of the Corn trade very small . We have not experienced any active demand for Wheat , but holders have shown more firmness , and on a moderate business have obtained an advance of Id to 2 d per bushel on the prices quoted at the close of last week . The importers of the fresh Danzig have held for Is 2 d to Is 3 d per 7 Ubs ; these prices , however , have been paid only for retail parcels ; the general runs of Mediteranean , in which the transactions
have occurred , have' sold at 6 s 2 d to 6 s 6 d ; beat Irish red at 6 s 6 d to 6 s 9 d per 70 lbs . Fiour , both foreign and home manufacture , has met rather a better sale . Oats have become scarce , and though few have been wanted , we have to quote them Id per 451 bs dearer ; best mealing samples have brought 2 s 3 d . Oatmeal has been more inquired for , but no change can be noted as to its value ; a parcel or two of good quality changed hands on Friday on speculation at 19 a 3 d per 240 lbs . Barley has brought rather higher prices for grinding . Beans and Peas have moved in small retail lots only at last week ' s rates .
Liverpool Cattle Market , Monday , Mat 15 . — The supply of Cattle at market to-day has been much the same as last week , both with respect to price and quality . Beef 4 'li . to 5 hd ., Mutton 5 £ ., to 6 £ d . per 1 b . Number of Cattle at market : — Beasts 973 , Sheep 4 * 21 . Manchester Corn Market , Satcrdat , May 15 . —A steady demand throughout the week has enabled factors to effect ready sales on arrival of the various qualities of English manufactured Flour ; but the inquiry has- run cniefly on the low and middling descriptions , for which a slight improvement in price has been realized ; all descriptions , however , fully supporting the previous currency . For
Oats and Oatmeal there has appeared rather more confidence in priees , and a fair extent of business was done in those articles at full rates . The arrival . ' ) , via Liverpool and Run corn , are unimportant , 5589 loads of Oatmeal forming the chief article . No change in the value of Wheat can be noted , and the transactions reported at our market this morning were on a most limited scale . In the sales made of Flour the improvement already named was firmly maintained , and on some descriptions we advance quotations 6 d to Is per sack . Choice heavy Oats are scarce and command full prices , and for Oatmeal rather higher rates are demanded : some of extra suitable cue realized 21 s per load .
Lon-do !* Smithfield Market , Monday , May 15 . —For meat , in most instances , the salesmen obtained an advance on late rates of 2 d per 81 bs .
