FUBTHEB EXPERIMENTS IN THE SCIENCE OP MB 3 MEBISM BY DR . ELLIOTSON . _ -3 > n _ Satarday , Dr . ElUotoon afforded another- opporlontty to s Bdect party of friends , consisting of ladies and gentlemen of rank and of mri * ?*^* acquirement , to Vitaos tome experiments in the science of mesmerism , ¦ I " Hm residence in Condnli-street . The patients who * e » dperited open "were two in number , and both were famalee ; the first aged about thirty , the second only rtxteen yea » of age . The disease under which they had labourednamely epQspsy , was the earne in both
, instance- bat the twopatients weraentirely different fa their babito ' of body , and the effects exblbted by them were quite dftirimilar . The elder female , a young ¦ woman of ripielabflity , residing in the neighbourhood at the Commercial-road , Whiteehapei , fin * arriTed , sna m placed in the operating ckair . PreTionsly to bar being subjected to the mesmeric influence , she was questioned by those who were present , and she stated thai aba had been for seventeen years subject to fits of epilepsy , nerer continuing free from them for more than a waek &t & time . She was induced to submit herself ,
about three years ago , to the treatment of a French pttysidaa of celebrity , and in the course of two months the was completely cured of her malady , of which she bad oerer since experienced the slightest return . During those two months , it was stated , she bad no more t >»« Ti one fit ; but what was more remarkable , ifwas said , was , that until she had been thus relieved " , she sever experienced the mesmeric influence—that is , she ¦ was never put to sleep at alL Subsequently she was repeatedly operated upon , and she now expressed her conviction that * -M « treatment had cured her of her complaint Having assumed her position in the chair , Dr . Elliotson in less than one minute threw her into a
state of complete torpor . Her hands were clenched , her lips and eyelids tightly compressed , and so rigid was the whole muscular system of the . body , that- all attempts to alter the position of any member by main force were ineffectual . Having remained thus a few Mantes , Dr < Elliotson proceeded , by the influence ¦ which he possessed over her , to raise her from ber sitting 01 rather recumbent posture to her feet This was done by his drawing his hands , his fingers pointed towards the patient , repeatedly in a line from her face towards himself , retreating gradually from Ber as the operation proceeded . The patient , during the progress of this treatment , became violently agitated ; she writhed with violent muscular exertions to take hewelf frem the chair , her faee became suffused ,
and the activity of the muscular system within was perfectly obvious , the rigidity of the limbs being meanwhile retained . From the position in which she lay it was physically impossible that the oould raise herself , and she was placed in a posture more nearly approaching sitting , from which , still influenced by the motions of the operator , she very shortly raised herself on her feet , £ beproeeas being conducted without the smallest aid from the arms of tbe chair , but by means solely of her own muscular exertions . Her hands were still clenched , and her position standing very nearly approaching to « irt -which she bad assumed while in a sitting posture . She was now subjected to the mesmeric influence in every way , not only by Dr . Elliotson , but by other persons in the room . Her body was drawn to the right and
to the leftjber arms were raised and lowered , by the process of manipulation , and she was thrown into postures apparently the most painful , in ¦ which she continued during the space of several minutes , without her exhibiting tbe smallest signs of consciousness . Her h » nd « -wete sow unclasped by Dr . Elliotson , who to effect this object enclosed them within bis own , when they fell apart , and for a moment lost their rigidity . The fingers were pliable , and the arm could be bent at tbt elbow . The same stiffness , however , was soon again observable , and all efforts to alter the position of her fingers , except by the same means as had been used by Dr . EDiotaon , were ineffective . The neck was found to be acted upon in the same way , and the head , which main a drooping attitude , was raised or moved ,. the
xnasete * of the neck being first subjected to the Application of the hands of a gentleman present . These operations having been continued for an hour , or more , during uttch time the patient never onee moved her feet , she was replaced in hex chair , in order to be awoke . This portion of the operation was performed upon the same principle u that which had been applied to the softening of the muscles of her hand , arm , and neck ; the bands of the operator being now placed on her forehead and head , so as to cover the regicn of the brain . About ten Tn * PTt ' wee consumed in the process before the patient was quite awoke , and , during this period she grhiWtari all the stretching of the arms and other symptoms usually observable in the waking momenta of an ordinary sleeper . Several questions were proposed to
hex during this period w waking , but to all she answered with fo ^ rtfo ^ t" *** , saying that ahe was asleep , and it was not until her eyebrows had been briakly rubbed , and the hands of Dr . EUiotson had been repeatedly brushed , as it may be called , against each other , opposite to her faee , that she declared herself " wide awake . " She now wilEngly submitted herself to the questioning , of those present She declared herself to be Btteriy ignorant of all that had passed , and although her face and pulse bespoke the body to be still under de mflmmw of strong muscular exertion , she said that ¦ o far from feeling fatigued , she was refreshed by the operation . The second patient was then introduced . She was a young girl of respectable appearance , and possessed of a remarkably pleasing expression of
countenance . Having been divested of hex bonnet , she was placed is the chair , and after seven minutes had elapsed , during which the procasa ol patting her to iteep waa exercised , which consisted in holding the points of two fingers immediately opposite to her eyes , her eye-lids suddenly dropped , and Bbe fell back in a deep dumber . A sensation of pricking was described by Dr . Elliotson te be produced in the eye-Hds of this patient , the effects of which speedily presented themselves in the flow of tears over her cheeks . Her eyelids being opened , the eyes were found to be turned down , and in what may be called an outward squint , but in » few momenta they were found to have con-Terged inwards towards the nose . The case of this patient differed entirely from thai of the young woman
who had just retired . In ths one , strong muscular power was developed , while in that now introduced ths patient proved to be entirely devoid of such power . By the mesmeric influence her arms and feet were raised , and even for a few moments she was placed on her feet in a standing position , bat her physical powers were insufficient to continue her in the posture in which she was placed , and her limbs refused their office , la another particular her case also differed . In the case of the first patient , although there was a strong sympathy exhibited by bertoirards Dr . EHiotaon , in her turning towards Jum , wherever he might place himself , whether on the zigatorthe left , she still expressed no dislike to be operated upon , by a stranger , but here the " sympathy , "
for that appears to be the proper name for it , was much more strongly developed . Tbe approach of a stranger towards the patient instantly produced a frown on her countenance , which was only removed by the withdrawal of the cause of annoyacce , and the same consequences -were produced either by Dr . Elliotaon quitting tbe side of the patient , or even , while holding her hand , clasping that of a stranger behind her back , although upon the doctor giving his undivided attention to her again , a pleasant smile played upon her lips , exhibiting her satisfaction at the removal of her cause of jealousy . The eye-lids , lips , and eyes , were in turn subjected to the mesmeric influence , being opened or closed , turned hither or thither , at the will ef the operator , although occasionally the sleep of the patient
was S 8 deep as to render her insensible to his power , nutilat length annoyed , es it was said , at the presence ef ladies , and the contirned trials of her patience , the girl sunk into a fit of epilepsy ; her hands and limbs becoming extended and rigid . From this she was sp # edily relieved by the attention of Dr . Elliotson , bat it was not until the patient was turned quite away from the company , and considerable exertions had been used , such as had been employed in the former case , that she was completely awoke . Tbe girl was now also sub-. jected to examination , but her answers tallied with taose of the former patient exactly , great relief being
described by her as being afforded to her by the mesmeric influence . We have thus endeavoured to give a clear and succinct description of this extraordinary exhibition , and , without expressing any opinion upon the subject , though several centlernen -who -were present professed themselves to be perfectly convinced , we must , draw our report to a dose . Dr . Elliotson , it is right to state , urged all thosa who were present to question and cross-question each © f the patients iHunedis £ * Jy after the operations were completed , -which was done ; and he appeared to be perfectly willing to explain any circumstance coraected with either of the cases "which Tvas not understood .

ADDRESS OF THE YOUTHS OF BROWNSTREET , MANCHESTER , TO THE YOUTHS OF ENGLAND , IRELAND , SCOTLAND , AND WALES . Brothers , —We believe that it is high time for the Youths of the United Kingdom to investigate the cause of the Bufferings the working classes have to endure . Experience teaches us daily that there is something wrong in the institutions of society . Witness the anxiety o ! mothers lest the small pittance procured by the partners of their sorrows and tbe murdering toil of the pledges of their mutual love—lest the scanty earnings of the whole family should not be sufficient to procure the commonest food for her charge ; witness the keen but hearts rending glance of the fond mother when she is compelled to say to her poor , care-worn youth , " I have nothing for you , " when the poor boy
comes in from his labour on Saturday at noon , but , alas , no dinner awaito for him ; and Bhe who gave him birth , rendered desperate through poverty , adds unkind expressions to the rest . On the other hand , witness the sons of the idle drones of society enjoying all the advantages of a school education for years after we have been dragged to toil for twelve and fourteen hoars a day . Reared in the lap of luxury ; riding their ponies for recreation ; taught to consider themselves a superior sort of beings frem their infancy—are they likely to prove less tyrannical over us than their fathers are at present when they shall be put in possession of the means of trying their fiendish propensities on a large scale ? No , they are likely to prove Rehoboams in reality ; for where our fathers are beaten with whips , we shall be scourged with scorpions , unless , by the united efforts of the working bees , the stings of the drones are extracted by Universal Suffrage .
We exhort you to investigate—calmly to investigate these things j and then at your peril refuse to join in one universal demand for justice to your order . Join the men who have so nobly grappled with tbe monster , and assist in destroying the hydra-headed monster , class legislation . We call upon you to join in rallying round the standard of freedom—the People ' s Charter of equal rights and equal laws ; whilst the pretended friends of the working classes are , under the hypocritical mask of seeking to give ub and our fathers more work , calling upon you to form youths' anti-Corn Law associations , to enable them to extend the most reckless gambling speculations that ever cursed any country under the faee of heaven , to secure to themselves the fruits of your labour .
It is your duty to unite together in one band of brotherhood determined to stand or fall in the glorious struggle for freedom with the men who have so nobly dared the Whig dungeon * , and all the paraphanalia of an arbitrary , despotic , hypocritical , canting , imbecile Government Let the youths of every locality form themselves into classes , and unite with fathers and friends in one universal struggle for the Peaple ' s Charter . Let there be a long pull , a strong pull , and a pnll all together , until the system of corruption ahall be burled down , and , " Like the baseless fabric of a vision , Leave not a wreck behind . "
Happiness and comfort Trill then be the lot of the sons of toil . ( Signed , on behalf of the Youths of Brown-street , Manchester , ) John Habgreates .

We found our hopes on the following facts , as they appear to U 3 , v : z .: — 1 st . That two of the three Judges , before whom the men were arraigned , decided that there was no law to send them to trial for high treason . 2 nd . That the objection of the prisoner ' s conncel was good in law , six of the Judges being of opinion that their trial was illegal ; in fact , the only doubt was as to the time of objection . 3 rd . That much suffering was caused to the men by the special commission and their hasty removal .
This Committee feel confident that now prejndice has wasted a-way and the law been more than vindicated , ¦ the "whole trial being injudicable and contrary to law ) , that your Lordship ¦ will not suffer the wrong that is done , to continue one moment The facts above named have induced us , as a Committee , to endeavour to obtain justice , ¦ wh ere so much injustice has been done .

And although , at great expense , this- Committee sent a deputation to London ,-to present the same to the Queen ' s Most Gracious Majesty , " which was not allowed , this Committee will hand these ITemorials to your Lordship , for presentation to her Majesty , should your Lordship think proper to recommend the prayer of tbe same . And this Committee doubt not , but that a majority of the jury who tried the unfortunate men , would again recommend them to mercy .
This Committee , fully trusting to your Lordship ' s great experience in your office , and knowing the bitter and virulent feelings of the local authorities of Newport , from the High Sheriff to the Parish Constable , against the exiles , do respectfully pres 3 this point , viz . that your Lordship , by granting us our prayer , will ensure to yourself the respect and gratitude of millions of our countrymen .

And may the administration , which your Lordship is an honour to , never so for forget the interests of the industrious millions , as to refus * their prayer for justice .
We will then pray , that your Lordship may enjoy health and happiness , and that our country may enjoy the ble&sings of freedom , from the highest to the lowest . And we in duty bound will ever pray , fcc tc By order of the Committee . July 28 th , 1841 . All communications to be addressed to Mr . Guest , bookseller , Steelhouse-lane , Birmingham .

THE REPLY OF THE DUNDEE YOUTHS UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION TO THE YOUTHS OF BRISTOL . YOUTHFBX Brethren , —We have read with pleasure the address of your association to the youths of Great Britain in the National Vindicator , and we feel it a duty to return to you our most cordial thanks for yonr attempt to arouse the dormant energies of your youthful brethren , and calf into moral energy and Intellectual action so powerful an engine to the causa which you have espoused , the liberty , happiness , and peace to the whole humaa family .
Brethren , it is with pleasure we see the rapid accumulation of materials for a mighty agitation in our sister island . Yes , the cunning of interested agitators can no longer deceive and divide the people of Ireland ! Already has the sun of liberty risen in their political horizon ; and be is destined to wend his way through tbe fogs of her clouded atmosphere until the dense mass of darkness burst before the penetrating flash of the meridian light . How pleasing to the aged patriot to behold the fruits of his exertions in the rapidly increasing power and
omnipotence of the principles , for the establishment of which hehas so long contended . Could a Hampden , or a Hardy , or an Emmett seethe tyrant trembling on his throne , and the nations ef the earth setting at defiance the oppressors' power and the proud man ' s contumely , then would they exclaim * ' we have laboured not in vain . " No longer does wisdom sit wailing at liberty ' s grave , tor now the atone haa been rolled away from her sepulchre ; she bas risen refreshed from the tomb , and wends her way to the celestial abode of these heroes to convey to their minds the soothing intelligence of your resolves .
Brethren , ours was the second youthful association in the United Kingdom , and the first 1 b Scotland , formed for the establishment of the principles for which we contend , and although the summer hath twice come and f one since we first launched oar little bark upon the , stormy ocean of political warfare , we rejoice that our crow have continued to increase , and are rapidly pressing forward to the haven of political happiness , for which we are all bound . Hoping that the flame which hath animated you in your exertions may be kindled in the breast of every youth within the circle of our sea-girt realms ,
We remain , Your brethren in the bonds of union , Signed on behalf ol the Association , J . Mathers , Chairman , A . Shepherd , Secretary Dundee , Sept . 12 th , 1841 .

JUSTICES' JUSTICE CKOWNED . P _______»^* <¦___ _ . _ .. . ¦ » M % . 1 last number remarked the
_ In our we on preposterous Insufficiency of the bail required of Mr . W . J . Bankes , charged with an unnameable offence . It bas since been alleged that one of the sureties , bearing the very appropriate name of Sneezum , had passed himself off for his uncle , with whom be lived as servanty and had committed deliberate perjury in swearing that he was a housekeeper . The recognizances , taken in the name and description of the real Sneezum , were , upon his application , under these circumstances , declared void Had the uncommon precaution of requiring fortyeight hours' notice of bail been adopted , the deception practised in this case would have been prevented , but the gentleman prisoner would have been inconvenienced by bo strict a proceeding .
Mr . Jardine , upon the discovery of the deceit , was at a loss what steps to take . All he knew with any certainty was , that he had been imposed on by young Sneezum , and that young Sneezum had committed perjury , and , above all , that Mr . Bankes could not be recaptured and compelled te find good bail . Now , as to the imposture , it is quite a farce for Mr . Jardine to complain of it Mr . Jardine , ia his way , had played a Sneezum part Justice Snef zutn had taken bail grossly insufficient , and , so far as the ends of justice are concerned , what matters it that the bail , insufficient for its purpose , turns out to be no bail at all ? The upshot of the case is , that bail merely nominal bas been put in by a man of straw .
When Mr . Jardine to » k two sureties for . £ 100 , each , for the appearance of a man of large fortune to answer a disgusting charge ( for which he bad once before been tried , and narrowly escaped conviction ) , Mr . Jardine must have known fail well that he waa not taking steps against the flight of the accused , which is tbe object of bail . In saying as be did , that the bail he required was proportioned to the condition of the prisoner , the magistrate delivered himself of an assertion , which , imputed perjury excepted , was much of tbe same complexion as the representations of Mr . Sneezum , junior , who must indeed have felt comforted and encouraged by feeling that , if he was really passing himself off for what he was not , the magistrate himself was setting the example of dealing with the prisoner as what he was not—that is , as a man to whose condition sureties amounting altogether to £ 400 were proportioned , whereas as many thousands would have been better suited to his notorious means .
As to any practical effect , it ia obviously quite immaterial whether the accused , had he felt it unsafe to stay and meet the charge , were called upon to pay £ 300 or £ 400 , as the price of bia impunity and escape to tbe Continent Mr . Jardine was quite ready with his opinion that the accused could not bo recaptured . If this be law ( and we have a great distrust of magistrate ' s law ) , it is at variance with what common sense would require ; for the object of the law being that the accused should be forthcoming to answer the charge against him , if he succeed by any deceit in putting in bad bail , what reason is there why good bail should not be required oi him when the bad is discovered ? But Mr . Jardine himself , we perceive , has since altered his opinion on this point
In excuse for Mr . Jardine , it is said that offences of the nature in question should be shrouded as much as possible from the public view ; but this is a most unfortunate plea on the behalf of Mr . Jardiue , for by bis method of dealing with the disgusting charge- he has contrived to draw the greatest possible share of public attention to it , having raised upon it , as he bas done , a question as to the impartial administration of justice . Further , if it could be permitted to Magistrates to judge what laws should be carried into effect , and what laws should be evaded , it would be incomparably better that tbe discretion ehoulcl be arbitrarily and openly
exercised , than that the farce should be performed of compassing the prisoner ' s escape in the very pretence of exacting the securities for his appearance- In the case of the guilty rich , large and adequate bail can only operate as a pecuniary penalty , aud small and inadequate bail as a mockery of justice ; but when it conies to the turn cf the poor , low as the boil may be , it is stringent , and the contrivance to facilitate the evasion of justice fails altogether , and without any pain or distress to the magistracy , for it is observable that justices have no doubt of the policy of laws , no objection on the score of the evil effect of publicity , when ths poor are concerned .
On the following day Mr . Bankes ' s solicitor waited on Mr . Jardino at Bow-street , and stated that Mr . Bankes was not privy to the trick of the sham surety , and that ho 'was ready to substitute good bail ; and further , that it was his client ' s intention to meet the charge against him . Upon this offer to put in a new surety Mr , Jardine ' s opinion of the necessity for a new surety appears to have undergone a sudden and complete change , and he becume clearly of opinion that another surety should bu substituted . The Magistrate ' s requisitions thus Lept exact pace with the propositions of the accused . The day before , Mr . Jardine had thought that a good surety in lieu of the bad one could not be demanded ; but the dsy after , what Mr . BanLea was ready to do Mr . Jardine was ready to require .
Mr . Jardine seized occasion to remark that the nature of the charge had been misunderstood , and the solicitor for the accused added that it was not of the heinous sort supposed . If the nature of the charge is to be inferred from Mr . Jardine ' s treatment of , and allusions to it , it should be some mere trifle indeed ; but it is odd that what will not bear publication is regarded by the magistrates as such a bagatelle . —Examiner .

" ¦ 'i i ^^^ pi i > n i i A MELTING STORY . No other class of men in any country pcsses 3 that facetious aptness of inflicting a good humoured reveuge which seems to be innate with a Green Mountain boy . Impose upon or injure a Vetmonter , and he will seem the drollest and best natured fellow you ever knew in all your life , until suddenly he pounces upon you with some cunningly devised offset for your duplicity ; and even while he makes his victim smart to tie core , there is that manly open-heartedness about him which infuses balm even while the wound ia opening , and renders it quite impossible that you should hate him , however severe may have been the punishment be dealt out to you . These boys of the Green Mountains seem
to possess a natural faculty of extracting fun from every vicissitude and accident that the changing hours can bring ; even what are bitter vexations to others , these happy fellows treat in a manner so peculiar as to completely alter their former character aud make them seem to us agreeable , or at least endurable , which was before in the highest degree offensive . Another man will repay an aggravation or an insult by instantly returning injury , putting the acquaintance , and shutting his heart for ever against the offender ; but a Vermontor , wi ' . b a smile upon bis face , will amuse himself while obtaining a far keener revenge , cracking a joke in conclusion , and making bis former enemy forgive him , and even love him , after chastisement One winter evening , a country store keeper in the Mountain State was about closing his doors for the

night , and while standing In the snow outside putting up his window shutters , he saw through the glass ' a lounging , worthless fellow within grab a pound of fresh butter from the shelf and hastily conceal it in bis hat . ¦ " ¦ - '" - ¦"¦ ¦ ' ¦ "• : . "' ; ¦ ¦ ¦"¦ ¦ ; ¦ ¦¦ - - The act was no sooner detected than the revenge was hit upon , and a very few moments found the Green Mountain store keeper at once indulging bis appetite for fun to the fullest extent , and paying off the thief with a facetious sort of torture for which tie might hava gained a premium from' the old inquisition . "I say , Sethi" said the store keeper , coming in , and closing the door after him , slapping bia hands over bia shoulders , and stamping the flnow off hi « shoes . Setb bad his hand upon the door , bia bat upon bia head , and tbe roll of new butter in bis bat , anxious to make his exit as soon as possible .
"I say , Seth , sit down ; I reckon , now , on such an eternal night as this , a leetle something warm "would ' nt hurt a fellow ; come and sit down . " . Seth felt very ; uncertain : he had the butter , and was exceedingly anxious to be off , but the temptation of " something warm" sadly interfered with his resolution to go . This hesitation , however , was Boon settled by the right owner of the butter taking Seth by the shoulders , and planting him in a seat close to tbe stove , where he was in such a manner cornered in by barrels add boxes , that while the country grocer sat before him , there was no possibility of his getting out , and right in this very place sure enough the storekeeper Bat down . . "Seth , we'll have a little warm Santa Croz , " said the Green Mountain grocer , as he opened the stove door , and stuffed in as many sticks &s tbe space would admit , " Without it you'd freeze going home such a night as thia . "
Seth already felt the butter settling down closer to his hair , and on Seth declaring he must go , " Not till you have something warm , Seth ; come , I ' ve got a story to tell you , Seth ; sit down , now ; and Seth was again pushed Into bis seat by bis cunning tormentor . " Oh ! it ' s tn dara'd hot here , " said the petty thief , again attempting to rise . " Sat down—don't be in such a plaguy hurry , " retorted the grocer , pushing htm back in his chair . " But I ' ve got the cows tn fodder , and some wood tu split , and I must be ogoin , " continued the persecuted chap . " But you musn't tear yourself away , Seth , in thia manner . Sit down ; let the cows take care of themselves , and keep yourself cool ; you appear to be fidgetty , " said the roguish grocer , with a wicked leer .
The next thing was the production of two smoking glasses of hot rum toddy , the very sight of which , in Seth's present situation , would have made the hair stand erect upon his head , bad it not been well oiled and kept down by the butter . "Seth , I'll give you a toast now , and you can butter it yourself , " said the grocer , yet with an aiiof such consummate simplicity , that poor Seth still believed himself unsuspected . " Seth , here ' s—here ' s a Christmas goose , well roasted and basted , eh ? I tell you , Seth , it's greatest eating in creation . And Seth , don't you use hog ' s fat or common cooking butter to baste a goose with—come , take your butter—I mean , Seth , take your toddy . "
Poor Setb now began to smoke , as well as to u-elt , and bis mouth was as hermetically sealed up , as though be had been born dumb . Streak after streak of the butter came pouring from under hi 3 hat , and his handkerchief was already soaked with the greasy overflow . Talking away , as if nothing was the matter , the grocer kept stuffing the wood into the stove , while poor Seth sat bolt upright , with bis back against the counter , and his knees almost touching tbe red hot furnace before him . " Darnation cold night , thia , " said the grocer . " Why , Setb , you seem to perspire as if you was warm ! Why don't you take your hat off ? Here , let me put your hat away . "
" No ! " exclaimed poor Setb , at last , with a spasmodic effort to get bis tongue loose , and clapping both hands upon his hat , " No ! I must go—let me out—I aiut "well—let me go ' . " A greasy cataract was now pouring down the poor fellow ' s face and neck , and soaking into bis clothes , and trickling down his body into his very boots , so that he was literally in a perfect bath of oil . " Well , good night , Sfeth , " said the humorous Vermonter , " if you will go ; " adding , as Seth got out into the road , " neighbour , I reckon the fun I ' ve had oat of you is worth a ninepence , so I shan't charge you for that pound ot butter 1 " N .

TO THE ORIGINATORS OF THE PLAN FOR THE FORMATION OF A NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR PROMOTING THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL IMPROVEMENT OF THE PEOPLE . Esteemed Fbllow Men , —Looking back with grateful remembrance to tbe many services you have rendered to the cause of Democracy , honouring you for your virtues and moral worth , and sympathizing with the sacrifices you have made on our behalf , we feel that , under the present circumstances , we should be guilty of tbe foulest ingratitude if we did not stand boldly forward and proclaim our entire confidence in your integrity and patriotism , and your devotednesa to the principles of tbe People's Charter .
Treating with scorn and indignation the calumnies which men , who assume the name while they violate the principles of Chartism , have levelled against you , — we hereby assure you of our approval of the plan which you have recommended for the attainment of the People's Rights , and the improvement of their moral and social condition . As men struggling for righteous objects , we desire to obtain them by righteous means . We think th » y need only to be understood to be appreciated , and that the assent of a united , intelligent people , once obtained in their favour , no power ( however mighty ) can prevent their adoption as the law of tbe land .
Believing the ignorance and moral degradation of the working classes to be the grand barrier to the creation and demonstration of that enlightened public opinion on which alone we rely for their eventual adoption , we accept your plan , as the one best calculated soonest to remove that mighty incubus that at present weighs down the spirit of Reform , and allows faction , violence , and misrepresentation to libel and disfigure the fair face of freedom . Impressed with these sentiments and views , our ardent longings for the consummation of our principles will
permit us no longer to remain in silent inaction . We call on you—we entreat you—again to take the post of honour , which your character and past services entitle you to . Let us boldly take up our position , and vindicate to the world the spirit and principles of Chartism ! Let us shew , in our organisation , our principles of action , meetingB , speeches , and every proceeding , that reason and philosophy , and not the impulses of our passions , or the contracted notions engendered by party and factious feelings , are the impelling motives which actuate us to struggle for the moral and political elevation of our class .
Yet tbe moral anfl intellectual energy of man is the mighty lever destined to uproot the strongholds of tyrannic assumption , and place tho sons of men in that just and equitable relation to each other which will usher in the reign of universal peace and g « od-will on earth . Earnestly hoping that thia , our heartfelt appeel , may incline you to the rescue of our glorious cause , We subscribe ourselves , Your brother Democrats !

" Jemmy Wood" and the Gloucester Musical Festival . —The last time but one that the grand festival in aid of the distressed widows and orphans of clergymen in the dioceses of Gloucester , Hereford , and Worcester , was held at Gloucester , the renowned Jemmy Wood 6 tocd in front of the old bank in Westgate-strcet , and observed to * a friend of ours , in reference to the multitudes pressing towards the cathedral , " There the fools go ; I keep my halfcrowns in my pocket ! " and , suiting the action to the word , pushed his hands to tbe very bottom of his capacious waistcoat-pockets , turned over the coinB therein , and elicited that metallic jingle so grateful to his ears . The rich old banker is gathered to his fathers—the old back , instead of wearing the
business appearance it did in 1835 , is closed—none of the immense wealth of its owner has , as yet , been distributed under bis will—bat in this short term of six years , more thousands of pounds have been spent in legal proceedings concerning it than would have provided a permanent fund , amply sufficient for the relief of all ¦ the distressed widows and orphans of clergymen in the three dioceses . The numbers thronging to the cathedral were no * fools-Jemmy ' s policy of keeping the half-crowns in his pocket was not the perfection of wisdom . Far better would it have been for the fair city had Mr . Wood endowed it with a part of his riches in his lifetime , instead of leaving it , as he did , to the uncertainty of a torn codicil and tbe tender mercies of the law . — -Cheltenham Paper ,

Suicide of a Paupkb ik a Union Workhouse —On Friday , Mr . P » yne , the City Coroner , and a nnmerous Jury , sat in the Board-room of the West London Union Workhouse , West-street , ! Bmithfleld to detennine ' the cause of the suicide of BJ . W 3 kin ' son , aged 64 . an inmate of thai workhouse . Several of the guardians of the union were prestnt . Iea&e Stephens , a pauper , said he had known , deceased for two years , and saw him last alive in the water-closet between three and four o ' clock on Thursday awming Witness spoke to himf and received ; no answer , arid left him injhe closet . He saw no more of hto iutil dawn * wMar deceased waa brought op stair * dead . DecBaaedTpras a very still , quiefr man , and would hardly answer when spoken to . Several other
inmates of the workhouse were examined . They said that latterly deceased appeared " rather queer , ' * and was in the habit ot walking to and fro silently in the yard , looking very iB , ; - They also proved that , bivmg found the door of the water-closet : fastened inside , and hearing within a noise Hke that made by a person snoring , they burst the door open , and found deceased sitting on the seat of the closet , with his throat cut , and a fork sticking in the wound . He was quite dead , and a kitohen knife , stained with blood , lay by his side . Mr . Mott , maaUr of the workhouse , said deceased had been under his care
for about twelve years . He was extremely deaf , and on that account was very uncommunicative . There was nothing otherwise particular about him , and witness could not account for the commission of the rash act . Dr . Lynch , surgeon to the workhouse said the wound in deceased ' s throat was an inch and a half in depth and three inches in length . Noae of the chief vessels were divided , but several of the lesser were , which produced such a loss of blood as to cause death . Witness knew of nothing that could cause deceased to commit suicide , unless from a feeling of despondency , the effect of frequent illness . Verdict " Temporary insanity . "
Calamitous Occurrence at the Herring Fishery . —We regret to have to record this weejc an accident of a peculiarly distressing nature which bat taken place on this part of the coast , in addition to others , involving the loss of property to a g reater or less extent , caused by the state of the Weather , and tending at once to cripple the exertions of those engaged in that important branch of industry , the herring fishing , and to cast around them the gloom of affliction , arising from the loss of relatives and friends . On Friday evening last , although the sky waa overcast , the weather was yet so fine that it was scarcely possible to anticipate the slightest danger to the boats engaged in the fishing , and all of them at the various stations on this part of the coast
put out to sea as usual , while some , as in the distressing case more immediately under notice , were encoaraged , by the apparently settled calmness of the night , to risk their floats nearer to the rocks than is their practice . The aspect of the weather continued unchanged till about twelve o ' olock , when a tremendous gale sprang up from the north-east , placing the lives of the boats' crews in the greatest jeopardy . Most of them hauled their nets , many of which being full of herring , wore lost in the hurry and confusion consequent upon the exertions of the fishermen to escape the danger . One of them , however , the Jebus of Eyemouth , had unfortunately taken up a perilous position near the shore at Marshall Meadows , from which the crew were unable to
extricate themselves , and the consequence was that the whole on board , five in number , perished . The details of the accident have not of course been ascertained ; but it is supposed that while the crew were in the act of hauling their nets , and before they could sail , the boat haa been caught by the gale , and driven amongst the rocks , after which it had capsized . The crew consisted of Thomas Dougal , the skipper , aged 52 ; John Dougal , his son , aged 15 ; George Dougal , sen ., and George Dougal , juu ., his nephews , both aged 38 ; and John Grieve , a labouring man , aged 24 . Tha body of the boy and one of the Douglas , who , it is thought , had attemptod to swim ashore , were found on the beach on the following morning , and
conveyed to Marshall Meadows barn . The body of ths othsr George Dougal was recovered during the daj , and the other two were found . entangled amongst the nets in the water . On Monday morning , an inquest was held by the Coroner on the bodies at Marshall Meadows-house . The evidence related entirely to the finding of the bodies by the servants at Marshall Meadows . There being no evidence as to the cause of death , the jury , in compliance with the technical requirements of the law , gave verdicts of " Found drowned , " and "Found dead , " according as they were taken out of the water , or picked up on the beach . On the same day , the bodies were pat into coffins , and removed by their sorrowing
relatives , and on Tuesday the remains of John Grieve were interred in Ay ton churchyard , and those of the other four were deposited in Eyemouth burying * ground . By this lamentable occurrence three widows and seventeen children have been left ia destitute circumstances . Thomas Dougal has left three sons and two daughters , the youngest about five years old ; George Dougal has left a widow and five children , the youngest four months ; the other George Dougal has left a widow at present pregnant , and seven children , the youngest eighteen months , old ; and John Grieve has left a widow without children . We are happy to learn that a subscription has been opened for the relief of these destitute families . —Berwick Warder .
