He was seen by one of our Chartists leaning against a wall , vomiting blood ; he was taken into th » bouse , where he got som * refreshment , which he received with tears , saving that he had not broke his fast Bince Friday morning . When the poor fellow had refreshed himwlf , he said he had been in the neighbourhood of Bingley , and that he had gone to & gentleman ' s house \ o . ask for relief . The servant opened the door , and told him that his master did
not allow them to relievo btggars , but he Uhe poor man ) told such a pitiful tale , that he gave him some bread and meat , telling him to put it ont * f sight . The poor man did as was requested , and was returning opt •( the yard , -when the Boaster , who had been looking oat of the window , stopped him , and demanded to know what he had got in his hat .

Vobacitt OF A Boa CONSTHrcrou . —A singular instanoe of the Toracity and power of appetite « f this reptile occurred a few days since at the Zoological Gardens in the Regent ' s Park . Two fine tiger boa constrictors were brought over by Captain ltcdinan from Calcutta , and presented by him to the menagerie on the 4 th of September last . They were respectively II feet and 9 feet in length , and had lived in harmony together in their cage until last week , when the smaller one , beiug skkly , would not eat at the usual time offending . The larger one had just eaten a rabbit and three guinoa pigs , when , it appears , he made a gorg « of his mor « weakly companion , which was proved by the sudden disappearance or the latter , and the more bulky size of the former , which exceeded tbree feet in diameter in the greatest proportion of his body . So singular a case of the carnivorous power and propensity of this reptile it not on record . . '
United States . —The packet ship North America , Capt . Lowber , reached Liverpool on Sunday , after a runacros 8 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 itated , at Albany , but it is still uncertain when it comas on . The Attorney-General , Mr . Crittenden , was on his way to Lockport for the purpose , it was said , of demanding the surrender of M'Leod to the Federal Government , a 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 ISew York persisting in the right to bring him to trial within its own territory . The question is therefore still involved in difficulty . Respecting the internal affairs of the states the chief occurrence has been the issuing of a proclamation by the President convening an extra B » 3 SJ 0 n of Congra 8 s for the 31 st of May . This proceeding has its origin , not in relation to the affairs of M'Leod , but in consequence of the state of the finances of the country . In Canada election matters absorbed all other questions .

' And his lordship further desires it may bo distinctly understood , that every individual , acting in any capacity in the service of the Post-office , who shall be guilty of such an offence , will be . prosecuted with the utmost rigour of the law . —By command . W . L . Maberly , Secretary . " A Mad Railway ' Passenger . —On Friday , a young labouring countryman , dressed in a round
frock , got iato one of the carriages at Reading to proceed te London by one of the morning trains , and on its stopping at Slough , contrary to the regulations , he get out and jumped about th « platform in a very unusual and extraordinary manner ; so much so , indeed , as to convince every person who ¦ aw his strange gesticulations that his mind was affected . However , he was again persuaded to entw the carriage , and proceeded to London with the other passagers . Mr . ByJ . es ,- ' of the Hop * Inn , Windsor , and his son , with one of the guards , were in the same box , and their attention was excited by tke violent manner of their fellow passenger , whom Mr . By Ies watched most attentively . When the train neared Hanwell , the young countryman suddenly made a desperate attempt to jump out of the earriafe ( tbe train then going ttl great speed ) .
bit by tho firmness and promptness of Mr . Byles , who was assisted by his e « n and the guard , he was forced back imto his seat , and compelled to remain there until their arrival at PaJdington , when it was deemed necessary , from bis extreme violence , to have him confined until taken before & magistrate , and examined by a medical gentleman . This was done , and the medieal man gave his decided his opinion that he was insane . In securing him , it appeared he 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 the magistrates . The magistrate deemed it necessary to order that he should be taken care of until his friends -were discove-ed . , H \ s name waa discoverad to be Sanders , and he said he had killed bis child , and he intended to kill himself . —Bucks Gazette .
The Robbery at Windsor Castle . —The robbery of plate 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 , the legs and the top of which have been carried off , was a portion of the valuble effects , of a like description , which was sent 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 . Atr that time various articles of splendid silver furniture , consisting of tables , looking-glass frames , chairs , and " dogs " ( in use abroad , where wood is used for fuel ) , etc ., were sent 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 Koelinann . 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 beau purloined . These bad been deposited among the stores , near the silver table , a great portion of which has been carried off . The person who has absconded had access to this part of the stores . This table having been % little out of order , was taken out of the room at the Castle in which it usually was , for the purpose of undergoing Bonre repairs , but the required repairs had not taken , place . The porter , who has absconded , no tidings of whom have yet been discovered , was in . the receipt of only eighteen shillings per week—somo say ouly sixteen swings . It is believed that he has left the country . His wife states that after he left l \? kb « ud vuuuuji AJ . 1 Q vviav av * mv \/ o uuavn utitfv * uo ivtv
home on the Thursday morning he returned again in the course of the day , and then left again 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 tbe suspected party left the Castle , he called upon a Jew named Morris , residing in Peascod-streel , a dealer in watches , 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 , which was immediately advanced . He then seemed as usual ; and there was - nothing in his manner * r appearance to indicate that he was labouring under feelings either of excitement or alarm . ' Thence he has been traced to the
railway station at Slough . The mortality of London , and , indeed , of England generally , shows » -gradn » l decrease , whilst it is well known the population increases considerably . Tbe rates of premium for Life Insurance have been greatly reduced during the last few yean ; yet the offices continue as prosperous as formerly . These facts clearly demonstrate that some cause , either unknown or unheeded , mut > t have produced such favourable results . Amongst these causea , the increased knowledge of anatpmy , * nd the many very v * lsable discoveries in medicine , will stand most prominent . The small-pox , that annually carried off thousands , has been successfully combatted by vaccination ; and gout , that used to claim its numerous victims , haa been thoroughly vanquished by Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills , as is evinced by their extensm a&d unprecedented sale .

Fire . —Trowbridoe , April 2 . —This morning about two o ' clock , by the observations er the police force , who were out on duty , a fire was discovered in tbe brewhouse and cellar vf Mr . Joseph ' Townsend , at the Tuns aad Bowls Inn , Market-place , Trowbridge . An alarm being given , assistance was soon at hand ; and , by the active exertions of the townspeople , and by ontting off the communications , the damage was confined to the cellar and the brewhouse . Some very large pieces , with their contents , were burnt or spoiled ; and tha very confised spot where the fire originated precluded the possibility fora time of directing tho engines into full play ; but by five o ' clock all danger had subsided for the 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 toany year ? . No knowledge exists of tbe cause of the fire .
• Alarming and extensive Fire and Nauhow ESCAPfi OF THE Family . —Between one and two o ' clock on Monday morning , a most alarming fire broke out in the Elephant and Captle public-house , kept by Mr . Leidafd , High-street , Whitechapel . The family , it appears , had closed the house at theuBUal hour on Sunday night , when , to all appearance , everything was perfectly safe , and in the course of half an hour afterwards the whole of the inmates were in bed . At the above-named hour , as policeconstable Beed * No . 50 of the H . division , who was on duty , was pasting the house , he observed a very great light in the place , which , not noticing before , excite his suspicions that the . house was on fire , and , upon a minute examination , he found his fears were
realised . He directly sprang his rattle , when policeconstables Nos . 14 and 98 came 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 baved 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 ladders could be obtained in the neighbourhood , and as the fire was assuming a terrific aspect , the policemen saw that the only 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 tha lead beneath the first floor window , having fixed themselves 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 . The two females were accordingly assisted out by Mr . Lsidard 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 shutters nearly suffocated them until they were certain that all had escaped . Their heroic conduct was loudly
cheered by the spectators . By this time the brigade engines froin Wellclose-Bquare , Jeffery-square , and Watling-street , reached the scene of destruction and were soon got to work , a , powerful supply of water b ^ ing obtained , but an hour elapsed before the flames 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 in the Sun Fire- office , and the damage done is estimated at about £ 1 . 500 .
O Connell s Idea of the Benefit of Bullying the English Peoplk . —At a meeting of the Repeal Association , in the Corn Exchange , lately , Mr . O'Connell replies to tho 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 the Catholics of Ireland get , in the year 1778 , their act of emancipation ? General Gat * j conquered Burgoyne at Saratoga , and made the British 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 action ; and Ireland called for free trade , which England refused , contemptuously : the Irish put "
the cannon of the Volunteers , 'Free trade , or else , ' and the word else was just down by the touchhole , ( Cheers and laughter . ) What was the consequence 1 England was bullied , and free trade Waa granted . Again , in 1782 , when the oombined fleets of France , Spain , and Holland , swept the Channel , the Volunteers 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 1792 , the English Government refused to : allow the petition of the Roman Catholics for further emancipation : but in that year Dumourier won the battle of Jemmappes ; and , at the close of it , England was bullied again to allow Catholic barristers to practise ; for which I humbly thank them . In 1793 , when Belgium was conquered by France , further concessions were bullied from England : and I want to know
whether it was out of grace or favour she granted Emancipation ) England won't be bullied , forsooth ! I am not a fighting man , and y « t I have bullied England from this room , and succeeded . " ( Loud cheers . ) A voice— " And will do it agaia . " Mr . O'Connell— " 1 hope I am doing it now . I had the great hero and tne greatest statesman of England against me— Wellnn $ ton of Waterloo—a mighty great general—and Peel , the great orator ; yet from this room , Protestant and . Catholic bullied both statesman amd warrior , and obtained Emancipation . " ( Cheers . ) Then , for the future— " I throw out these things here in order to warn the people of England of the impolicy of their going to war under the 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 . ] Trade 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 ia waiting to hear the result of the accusation . William Pierce , foreman to Mr . Reynold , stated that the defendant had , no doubt , been stationed opposite to his master ' s premises , to watch for and prevent the workmen frctm going in about their business . Saveral
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 have it on their own terms . Mr . Reynolds had only just raised the wages of his men . Thomas Green , of No . 23 , New-street , Bishop 3 gate , stated that he was just going into Mr . Reynolds ' s warehouse with his work when the defendant called him orer , and said , " Reynolds's warehouse is on the strike . " Witness said that he neither knew nor cared if that were the case . The defendant then said , " You most all strike , for we have got a great many of the men away , and iu 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
uadera bob ' " ( a shminst . y Witness , and other men who worked for Mr . Reynolds , had been constantly annoyed for five or six weeks by several men , who ware employed to urgq , them to strike , and who were frequently changed , in order to escape accusation . Witness had been previously laid hold of by the collar by a tall man , who was employed to prevent men from wcrktug , and told that he ought to be horsewhipped . John Sharpe , who is clicker at Mr . Reynolds ^ , stated that the defendant was frequency in the habit of watching opposite the shop for a whole day to intimidate the men . That was called !* blocking tho shop . " Four or five stood there at a time . Alderman Wilson— Do yon know them to bo employed in that sort of buiinessr * Witness— " There is no doubt of their object at ali Some of those who had been employed by Mr .
Retnolds have been amongst them . This sort of work has been going on for the last four months . " The defendant declared that the whole was a moat ^ Ue misrepresentation and part of * a plot to catch him , and he assured the Aldeman he coulli proTtthat he had been in a public house the principal part of the day , and never made any attempt t o prevent any person from going to work . Alderraan Wilson" The evidence is very strong again / it you , bat you shall have an opportunity of prod ucing your witnesses . Such comoinatioBS as ther ^ e are most dan-/ rerdus ,-and here is an Act which gives to the Magistrate the power of punishing-i ' aterference-euch as has been described . I shall remand the case till Wednesday next , and if you d o not satisfactorily account for being in that situation , I shall most probably commit you to Bride-. veil . " The defendant then entered into Pail for hi ? appearance on Wednesday .

. Jbtjimis f > WK » DBiB . -A * the Weat « ifnBt « r f «*« monsjon Wednesday , the 31 st nit ., one of the grand jurywasanderetoodto say that the ages of the prisoners should be mentioned upon the indictments as some time a ^ o , when the grand jury had returned a true bill against a boy * he was merely brought into the court and reprimanded . The child was six rears old * The chairman said that a child was not held to bfriegally guilty nnder seven years of age , and from servo years of age to twelve he was presumed to be gguty or not of aor crime for which he was indicted , according to circumstances , which might lead the c < mrt to a supposition of his knowledge of the guilt of the act at the time it was committed . For instance , a boy was indicted for mar " der many years ago , and 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 waa done , and he was therefore executed . From the age of fourteen and upwards every p « teon was presumed t » have a knowledge of the law . He hoDed that the time was not far off when every child between the age of seven and fourteen would be regarded as an erring being , capable of being reclaimed ; and , instead of being : punished as & felon , he would be instructed as aa 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 his ccupation of the sessional chair ; and if they knew the misery ia which the poor children were found who were so often placed at the bar , their hearts would bleed for them .
Charge of Fokgebt against an Ex-Mator . — Great surprise was excited in Stafford , on Thursday week , by the examination of Mr . Thomas Stevenson , late mayor of the borough , o * a charge of forgery with intent to , defraud Messrs . Silvester , leatherdealers , of the same town . The examination , which lasted nearly eight hours , took place befero 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 hit nephew , Mr . William Wvnn . It appeared from
the evidence , that for a length of time Mr . Wyn n * nephew © f the accused , had been in the habit of lending , his name to his uncle in thr shape of accommodation bills , but at length he objected to continue the practice , and a bill , purporting to be accepted by fiim , but bearing a forged signature , was uttered by the prisoner . After a careful examination of tbe evidence , the magistrates came to * conclusion that it was a proper case to go before another tribunal , bat accepted bail for the prisoner ' s appearance , himself in £ 5 uQ and two sure ; ies ia ' £ 250 each .

Sarah Kirkham , of 4 , Earl ' s-place , Horselydown , said deceased lodged with her , and for the last few days appeared much dejected in spirits . On Friday morning , witness went into deceased ' s bed-room with her breakfast , when she complained of pain in tho head , and said she feared she was going to lose her sensea . During the forenoon , witness went several times and knocked at her door to inquire how she was ; but receiving no answer , she at last , about two o'clock in the afternoon , opened deceased ' s room door , and found her quite dressed , and with *
cloak on , suspended by the neck from the bed rail , by means of a silk handkerchief . Witness gave an alarm , and persons came and cut deceased down ; and a surgeon Was sent' for , who said that deceased was dead . Deceased had latterly been very fretful , and said the cause was , that she had transferred from her own name to that of her daughter ' some money she had in the Bink , and that , wanting £ 2 , her daughter refused to draw for thai sum . Elizabeth Lattimer , deceased ' s daughter-in-law , said that ever since she had made a transfer of her money ( aboul £ 50 ) to her daughter , she appeared distressed ia mind , which was augmented by the latter having
refused twice to draw for the sums of £ 2 or £ 3 . The last refusal took place about a fortnight since , and the deceased and her daughter had a bitter quarrel , which ended by the mother being thrust out of doors by the father . Elizabeth Phelps , idecea 8 ed's daughter , denied the above allegations , and deposed thai she had since Christmas given , her mother , at several times , the sum of 10 s . each time . Witness never wished for the transfer her mother had made in her favour , and intended , in May , to draw from the Bank the whole sum , in order that her mother might dispose of it as she pleased . Yerdict— " Temporary insanity . "

THB LAST DAT . The day was passed in the unal roatine of Court ceremony ; in the Doming , the mass and thxi audiences ; in the evening , fhe rubber of whist , with its formalities ; and it was thus , while the earthquake was Tumbling in the neighbourhood , that precautions were taken , to avoid it . Many ill-natured comments have been made on this whist-party by the malevolent , as if Charles tbe Tenth had . really occupied himself purposely with this trifling amusement while surrounded with such imminent dangers ; bat those who have lived in courts must know that the daiiy life is regulated by a monotonous uniformity , which is not to be infringed because a variety of private interests are connected with its existence .
Charles the Tenth did not of his own accord propose tbe / tame ; but every evening at a stated hour , the lord in waiting approached his Majesty and said , " Sire , tbe card-table is prepared , and yoar party is formed . " On the evening of the 28 th , the usnal ceremony took place ; and the King , indeed , Bat down mechanically in his accustomed manner—we all becrme gradually the creatures of habit , particularly as we advance in life ; hut j . he distant murmur of cannon was still audible , and the echo ot ciril war resounded in the vale below the chateau . Charles was evidently disturbed ; any idea of amusement was little in unison vrith his feelings ; the cards were left untouched ; he roee from his chair , and went out on the balcony , where be remained some time looking towards Paris with considerable anxiety .

A Chinese Bock for the Poor . —For twentytwo eosfi or tseen , I purchased an elegant book , filled with choice subjects of the graphic art , as patterns for the use of the young needle-woman . She is vsptned to be poor , and hence the little manual is priced at about one penny of onr money . It has a cover of a fair yellow , studded with spangles of gold , and contains between two and three hundred figures , culled from the varied stores of nature and art . In fact , the objects are so well selected and so numerous , that they might serve as illustrations to a small
encyclopedia . One acquainted with Chinese literature and natural history might deliver several lectures with this book before him . The meadow , the grove , the brook , the antiquary ' s museum , and tbe pages of mythology , with the adornments of the house and garden , are all laid under contribution .
