With me , in the prison , fh < ng » remained in the same state , until a little after one o'clock , on Monday , when the Sheriff , accompanied by some officers and citizens , entered my apartment , and , with a melancholy shake of his head , handed me a letter frcan the Governor to him , M Sheriff of the home district : it was , in fact , what they termed theie a death warrant ; but was enly an official letter , saying , that his Excellency and Council , having taken into consideration the prayer of the pri-¦ oaer ' s petition , could see no good reason why he should interfere with the due course of the law ; and concluded Jjj saying , " Ton are , therefore , commanded to have the sentence of the law carried into effect on the body Of the prisoner , to-morrow morning , at seven o ' clock- " Am Alderman , whose name was Dickinson , I think a
saidler , sad Blaster of one of the Orange lodges , begged my forgiveness for the insult he had offered me the day I entered the prison . He was the person who had expressed the wish that I might sever come out until the morning when I should be executed . He said he felt sorry for what he had said , and that he had done all he could to atone for it by making intercession for ioe—that he would still strive to aid me , and leave H ^ ibinp y } jjjjrmit that might sid Hin in accomplishing bis oYjsci . The man was trme to his word . I afterwards learned that he was indefatigable in his exertions , and , Orangeman as he was , I can say with gratitude to him and others , advocates of that , to me , loathing system , that they forgot every difference , political and religious , and looked upon me only as their coun ' -rym&n , and with suefe feeling they joined their Catholic countrymen to save ay life .
"W ould to God it could ever be thus , that there could be xnno-n . of sentiment and interest , and that they would be no longer the dupes of designing knaves , who k « rp them at variance , that they may rule , and ride over their necks with cars and chariot wheels of their own creation . Seated in my cell , and writing my last wishes to my family and friends , I was aroused by an alarm , the bells ringing and the drums beating to arms . What could it be ? Could there be any truth in the report that h&d been circulated , that an attempt would te made by the patriots to land and rescue us , or was it like the other rumours th ? t had been brought to us every day .
At this period , rumours 01 new and threatening aspect had been sent over by the paid spies of the Government , who were placed along the frontier towns of the United Stales , that during that very week a formidable attempt would be made on Toronto , as well for the purpose of getting the metropolis into their hands , as for" our rescue ; acd now , ia open day , a steam-boat of the larger class ploughing Ler way into the baj" , with the American flag Soatin , ; at her topmast appeared to them indicative of ike reality , and tha * assuredly their hour of baitle wa ^ at baud ; and toe troops were roused from their ruemmen ., their grog and bacchanalian song , to ro&et their invn-Jers .
The shouts—the wild hurra—succeeded the discharge o ! cannon , after an hour or two pissed in conjecturing what all this could amount to , or what it meant , my door -was opened , and my friend , Jzraes E- Small , Esq , came id , wfcose agitation seemed to me te omen something disastrous . ' * Ow Triai it man ; what is i £ ; what means this outcry ; " 1 dtmaEded . "Nothing , setting—at least nothing yet—but it may be turned to advantage , an American vessel is arrived , and in fcer is jour Trife , whose reception by the troops has been enihusiaEtie , and 1 cave brought her here to » ee you . "
He knocked—the door vrzs opened—and the ohject of my most intense atxiety , my trife , was in my arms I was no ; a little shocked at her appearance . Four ffiBEths of anxiety and icenfcl distress had made sad ravages upon ker health , and she presented herself before me all but the wreck of her former self . To her I appeared equally broken in health , yet not in spirit ; for although aware of what I had to expect from my enemies , and that every thing depended upon my own energief , never repining , and whistling that griei
through the crevices of bolts and bars , which Falstafl said " bltw a man ut > , " yet the confined air and dampness of my prison wrought a pale and sickly appearance . I had striven to let in my strength of body for the last effort that I might be called to m&ke for mj freedom ; but the weighty «*«""» I wore , the want oi exercise , and the breathing pestilence about me , had made me bloated ; and although 1 was allowed , by th < government , but a pound of bread and a pint of miser able soup pet day , I confess that I had all the appearance , charged by the Tory press , of being " fattened for the gallows .-
The account which my wife gave me of my family anc friends , psrticalariy « f the kind attentions of the latte ; to herself , and their heartfelt sympathies for my situs tion , was Boothing to my agitated mind ; and I wa most grateful to them for the means they were pursuini to oomptl the United State * government to interfere ii my behalf , although , even if successful , that interfer « noe might come too late . It appe&u that they luu

bean depending on tb « representations of John Prince and others ; that" nothing woild be dt > i » with us or the pft" » American prisoners , further tftyi detaining u until the troubles on the frontier should oease , when we would all be liberated . On this account , and , in fact , with the solemn pledges of Tories high in office to that effect , oat Mends -ceased hostilities , bid down their arms , disposed , and exerted their influence to restore quiet amongst the enraged inhabitants of the frontier , who appeared resolved on ? ' carrying the war into Africa . " One corps « f iron nerved men , some five bundled strong , of the brigade of my friend , E . J . Roberts , Esq , well armed , equipped , and provisioned fera campaign , breathing curses upon the necessity , but consenting to the policy , disbanded , and returned
sullenly to their homes , on the pledge that every thing that could be dose on the part of the authorities of the state of Michigan , either with the powers is Canada , or at the seat of government of the United States , should be done to effect oar release , and John Prince , and other Tory magistrates , and even Clergymen , on that exposed frontier , were partle * to it by consultation , and the { very men to humbly solicit tt , pleading for the patriot's mercy . But the news of my trial , convicti on , and sentence , accompanied by * printed copy of my remarks to the Judge , put to flkht their anticipations , and the testimony of Prince on the stand , and his lying description of the affair , and of the situation of matters on the frontier , in his place on the floor of Parliament , told them bow false he and bis
associates were to their pledge , and redoubled their fears that I would be made their victim . Under this state of feeling had Mrs . TheDer left her home , resolved to come to me . From the few days yet unexpired , on the receipt of the intelligence , before I was to have been executed , it was feared she could not , by any possibility , reach Toronto in time to see me alive ; but although the news had been received but in the evening , before the dawn of next morning she was on the road , and hurried on night and day by extra conveyances , until she reached Lswiston , N . Y ., where there appeared to be an insurmountable obstacle in the way—the steam-boat Transit th * only boat running to Toronto , had just gone . But no , the American
steam-boat , Oneida , was lying in port , and the coblehearted , generous , and disinterested citizens of Lewiston had no sooner learned whe it was , and the errand she was upon , th&a that boat was chartered , and she again on her way , under the escort of a gentleman , and lady , and several young gentkmea of that patriotic town , wht had volunteered to accompany her , aid protect ker from insult ; but the latter precaution was unnecessary , inasmuch , as she remarked , that , as my wife , none dared to insult her , particularly in Toronto , ^ where there were regiments of Irishmen in arms ; but , nevertheless , words can never repay the obligation we both felt for this unlooked-for kindness .
To continue her narrative—As the boat neared the port , she was surprised to see the streets lined with armed men , and that they should fire a cannon across the bows of the Oneida , inducing the captain to stop her , and run up the American flig . Shortly an officer and guard came on board , and ascertaining the cause , treated her with much kindness and politeness ; one young efficer telling her he had just seen me , that I was well , and encouraging her by assurances that although the Government would make the attempt to carry their sen ten cd into execution , still the guards would not allow it .
On her landing at the wharf , and its being announced who she was , she was enthusiastically cheered by the troops , as they opened their flies to let her pass , and observing some of the officers approacbimg to render her some civilities , they became rather loud in thear whispered consolation . " Ikm't be cast down , raa'am ; keep up your heart ; yoor husband ia our countryman , and they shan't hurt a hair of his head as long as one of us can hould a bayonet . " Cheered by this exhibition of national feeling , she thanked them as my countrymEn , and , as the Toronto Patriot , the official piper , said , " turned up her nose , and said that she knew the goverment dare not hang him , " that she was going to the governor with documents , and was desirous of going forthwith . Alany immediately volunteered to
go with her , which some discreet friend observing , advised her to let them go alone , which she did and whilst she was on her way to my prison , they were on theirs to the government house . A deputation of their own choice presented the petition . The council was called , and after some time , Sir George informed thtm how grateful her Majesty was to the loyal Irish ; that they had saved the province , and that he wat happy to have it in his power to do an act which would be gratifying to those brave men , who , in the hour of peril , had so gallantly rallied around the government : that as there was a great legal question involved in my trial , it had been decided that 1 should be respited until her Majesty's pleasure should be known ,- that at present I should be reserved for her
M ajesty ' spleuure . Y es , there was agreat legal question involved in my trial , and that question was whether , in the absence of ene or two more regular regiments , be c » uld carry the sanguinary scheme into effect ; whether he dared brave the bold and fearless volunteers , who did not hesitate to tell him to his teeth , that they would never be passive lookers-on at the gibbetting of their countryman , arraigned as he had been on a false issue , unjustly condemned , and illegally and inhumanly sentenced . Here was the grand secret of the great question involved . The open air threats of a loyal party , and the anonymous letters of the reformers to the chief justice and the members of the council , carried more terror to the soul of Sir George , than would a thousand legal questions to his seared eonseience , or the execution of myriads of freemen , to his bloated heart- The tyrant , and his minions of the perjured woolsack and the council , knew that they bad been tried and condemned , and tkat a conditional
sentence was hanging over their heads , from which they must seek a reprieve before the rising of another sun . They trembled lest they toek ray > laee upon the scaffold , and the guillotine be placed there instead of the knoot The " legal peikciples invoived , " had already been discussed for days , and dually coldly dismissed , with the assurance that I need not hope for mercy from their hands . That it was fear , guilty , trembling cowardly fear involved , was made evident te every rational man who read their official , the Toronto Patriot , the next morning , when Sir George Arthur himself—for none other could so eloquently describe the horrers of the wretch doomed to Tan Bieman's Land , as the late brutal master of that devoted colony —after alluding to the means which had been resorted to to save me from the gallows , painted in glowing colours the doom which still awaited me ; although I was respited immediate death . —Truiiamstntrg Demoirat , f American paper .

{ The following report teas received last week , after the papers for Carlisle were posted . ] CAKXISLE . —Gseat axii-Coks Law Soireb or Tea Pabtt . —The League and Five Priests WOESTED BT A SOLITARY HaXD LOOM WEAVER ! !—On Tuesday evening last , there was a strong muster of the League , to hear an account of the mission of s-everal priests , who had been sent by them to the Conference at Manchester . Every means had been resorted to for several daya previous ( such as master znaBufa-cinrer 3 giving their workpeople tickets at half price , fcc . ) to make the company as large and imposing as possible . Abont 540 persons sat down to tea , in the Coffee House Assembly Hoom ; after
which , Sir Wilfred Lawgon , Bart ., Peter Dixon , Xsq ., accompanied by several dissenting clergymen , and some of the loading members of the League , ascended the platform , on each side of which was a sheaf of wheat with iarge placards , bearing the following texts from Scripture : — "He that withholdeth " corn , the people shall corse him . " " They take away the sheaf from the huugry . " " The bread of the needy is his life ; he that depriveth him thereof is a man of blood , ' &c . Sir Wilfred Lawson was called on to preside . We were grieved to Bee him in the company of those who hare become rich by grinding tlie face of the poor , for we believe he i 3 a , good man . The following Rtv . Gentlemen sererally addressed the meeting : —Messrs .
Wolsenholm , Dobie , Chesters , M'Gill , and Carrmhers , all of whom , we understood , had attended the Conference in Manchester . With the exception of the adcre ? s of 2 Ur . Dobie , which was a very feeling appeal on behalf of the poor , the whole of the speakers betrayed the grossest ignorance of the Eubject of which they were the professed advocates . The data they laid down was incorrect , and their reasoning and conclusions equally erroneous . These men would be much more usefully employed in performing their religion ? duties among their flock 3 than becoming the tools of & selfish and overbearing set of men , who only Beek to benefit themselves at the expence of the working classes . After these
Rev . Gentlemen had ranted until they were tired , the Chairman said as there wa 3 no other person to address the meeting , it was accordingly dissolved ; on which , a ilr . James M'Kctzie rose and said that he and Mr . Hanson ha J been sent to the meeting as a deputation from the hand-loom weavers , and if the Chairman would allow him , he would state , as briefly as possible , the real s-tate of that body . The Chairman wished him to have a hearing , and he ascended the platform . Sir . M'Kenzie then read several statistical tables , shewing the rate of wages at the time the Commissioner , Mr . Muggeridge , was ia Carlisle , in 1838 , and the great reduction which had taken place since that period . It appeared that a hand-loom weaver cannot now earn more than from three to four shillings per week ! He then
read several extracts from a printed address , showing the absolute necessity of a Board of Trade to anord protection to the workmen against the cupidity ef the masters . He then said , there is no man in ; thia meeting , more opposed to the present Corn Laws , than 1 am . I marched to put them on at the point of the bayonet ; and I would do as much to h&ve them repealed , providing I thought that the working man would receive any portion of the benefit . The master manufactarers have no feeling for their work people ; for instance said he , one of the masters in Carlisle , had stated to himself and others ; at one time , when they had waited upon him , tkat if he had any fabric « f work , Icsb paid jtbaa the other masters , he would immediately advance it . Bat when shown that this was the case , be cordially replied— " Oh ! the weavers Ke uow

doing pretty ' "Velt , for potatoes are very cheap ( Great confusion and jenes of question , question . ) Several members of the League here interfered to put down Mr . M'Kenzie , who after , making some other observations , quite as unpalateable , was obliged to conclude , when Mr . Joseph Broome Hanson mounted one of the forms , and was proceeding to address the mooting , when the greatest uproar prevailed . The priests and members of the League were evidently frightened , least Mr . Hanson ehouH be beard , and , they being vastly the majority of the meeting , it was utterly impossible to hear Mr . Hanson from the discordant yells and clamour which were set np . The priests here began to leave the platform determined , that no one should be
heard in reply to them , thus violating the divine precept which they had been preaching— " Do unto others , as you would have others do uato you . " The priests and their employers here left the room amidst the greatest noise and confusion—the Chartists challenging them to discuss the subject of the Cora Laws at a public meeting . Though the Chartists were few in number , they now bad full posses sion of the place , and as the other party were retiring , three cheers were given for Mr . O'Connor to the great chagrin of the League , whose disgraceful conduct on thiB occasion , will never be forgotten . We Bhall on some fitting occasion analise the ingredients of winch this body is made up , and intersperse it with a running commentary , which will tend to the better understanding of our analysis .
Thb Harvest in CinriERiAND . —Up to the 21 st of the present month , and for ten days previous , the weather has been remarkably favourable , for the performance of the harvest operations , which have besn going on with the greatest rapidity . The crops are very abundant , and have been very little injured by the late rains . There is every prospect of a plentiful season . OXh&SCrOW . —The hand-loom weavers in Barnside factory , at a meeting the other day , determined upon joining the procession to accompany the " uncaged lion" in triumph to Glasgow . A committee has been appointed to make the necessary arrangements , and to solicit subscriptions to enable them to engage a band . Let the : men in other factories go and do likewise , and the reception of the incorruptible patriot will ba a ^ n . honour to the " Glasgow bodies . "

Extraordinary Accusation against a Shipowker . —At the London Sessions , on Saturday , Mr . Alexander Thompson , an extensive shipowner of Shields , was charged with assaulting George Frederick Clement , with intent to excite him to commit an unnatural offence , and there was a second count in the indictment for a common assault . Mr . C . Phillips defended the prisoner . The prosecutor stated that he lived at No . 10 , Gravel-lane , and was a shoemaker , and worked as a broker for his father . On the 20 th of August he was coming into the city to fetch some tools and a great coat from No . 26 , New-street . He stopped in Tower-street to look into a picture 6 hop , when the defendant , who carried a walking-Btick , came and rubbed his hand against
his ( prosecutor's ) person ; he felt confused at such treatment , but not knowing whether it was accidental or not , he moved off to the other shop window . Prisoner then deliberately caught hold of him with one of his fingers of his hand , in which he held his stick , and prosecutor called him a beastly vagabond , and several persons who were present advised him to give the prisoner into custody . Ho afterwards called the prisoner a miscreant , and upon a policeman coming up he gave him into custody . At the Station-house the prisoner asked prosecutor if he intended to prosecute , adding that he had children as big as he was . He denied having touched prosecutor , and at the Mansion-house he declared that he was a single man . —Recorder : Are any of the persons here who saw you givo him in
ohargei—Prosecutor : Not that I am aware of . —The Recorder ( with surprise ) : What ! you Baid several per-Bons advised you to give the prisoner in charge . Are none of them here !—Proseoutor : They followed to the Station-house , but it was impossible any of them ceuld Bee the assault , from the position in which I stood . —The recorder : Why , if you were advised to give the prisoner in charge by the bystanders , it appears most extraordinary that it did not strike you that they would be required as witnesses 1—Prosecutor : Why , I thought the Lord Mayor would have punished the prisoner , and that the case would not have come to trial . —Mr . C . Phillips : To be sure you did ; that is exactly what you wished . —Cross-examined : He had stated all
his avocations . He was never a potboy ; he had lived at three public-houses , and had been a potman . He did not call that being » potboy , as he was twenty-three years of age . He did not mention this before , because he knew that the counsel would ask him the question . He was not called a skitlesharp , " that he had ever heard of . He was out until twelve o'clock on Thursday last , and , when he met a policeman on his way home , ho did not tell him that he was alarmed for the result of the trial ; but , if he had known the trouble attending it , he would not have had anything to do with it . Hs told the policeman that he went before Alderman
Pine , and , because the prisoner was engaged in the shipping trade , he ( prosecutor ) was not allowed to speak . He afterwards went before the Lord Mayor , and the prisoner was ordered to find bail in £ 200 to answer the charge . —Mr . Phillips , at great length , commented upon the evidence of the prosecutor , and called a number of shipowners and coal factors , who gave the priaaner a most exemplary character . — The recorder summed up with great minuteness , and the Jury found the prisoner not guilty , and added , that they had great satisfaction in expressing their opinion that the defendant left the court without a stain upon his character .
Grand Dinner to Lord Morrth vn the Irish Reformer * . —A grand banquet was giveu to Lord Morpeth , in the theatre at Dublin , on Tuesday week . The price of the tickets was fixed at thirty-two shillings ; and tho number of individuals who sat down at table amounted to 600 . The most noble the Marquis of Clanricarde presided on the occasion . The cloth having been removed , and Non Nobis Dominie having been sung , the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drunk with enthusiasm . The chairman then called for a bumper , and having in a very neat speech eulogised the services which Lord Morpeth had conferred upon Ireland , gave as a toast , —* Lord Morpeth , who has won and wears the gratitude of the people of Ireland . " Lord Mor
peth then said , " I am here to night , gentlemen , having filled for a longer period than any of my predecessors the office of chief secretary of Ireland ; and knowing now , by my personal experience , the responsible difficulties and delicate duties which it involves , remembering the feelings of anxiety , and even of misgiving , with which I first entered upon their discharge , and conscious , above all , of the many errors and imperfections which a retrospect of the whole intervening period cannot fail to conjure up before my mind , I own that I cannot fully suppress the thrill of pleasure and exultation with which I look at this brilliant scene before me , and say as I look at it , ' this is my rich reward . ' ( Loud cheers . ) But , gentlemen , I must not forget that I
come before you to night as a member not of a standing , but of a beaten ministry ; and although I have happ ily proved to-day that I am not yet excluded from your streets , from your places of public concourse , from your halls of pleasure , from the warm grasp and the friendly greeting —( loud cheers)—from the social bi > ard and the flowing wine cup , yet into tho guarded precincts of the castle of Dublin I am no longer privileged to go . " Hia Lordship then adverted at considerale length to tho measures adopted by the late administration in favour of Ireland , and the happy results which had followed the adoption of them ; and continued— " I am prepared to assert that , viewed as a whole , the state of society in Ireland , giving some consideration to all the
causes which stir its depths and trouble its springs , has exhibited a gratifying and cheering contrast with almost every former period , choose it when you may , and under what circumstances you will . Called upon to resign our high trust into other bands , I feel myself entitled to say to our successors—Improve upon ourmana ^ ern en r , by all means , in whatever way you are able , avoid snch errors and mistakes as we have not been able to guard againstcarry the fortunes and welfare of ihe country fuller and higher than we have been able to do ; but do not let the sacred trust be tarnished in your keeping ; aveit from it , above all—knowing some of the companionship by which you will be surrounded , and the enticements by which you may be encompassed—the
blighting breath of bigotry , keep alive the precious seed of religious peace , which , sown yet but at rare intervals taroagh the laud may , under friendly and prudent culture , fill all her furrows with increase , and crown her heights with gladness , and may render a united people great , virtuous , and happy . And now , gentlemen , having been led to say thus much by the psculiar circumstance of tlie time and the occasion — in taking leave as the member of a political party of those now here with whom I havo acted , and by whom I have been supported , I have now to express my unshaken reliance on the strength and advance of the main links which connect and cement our union . I believe they may best be resolved into an ardent attachment to the cause of civil and religious freedom , not ia the cold letter , but in the living spirit—not in the formal homage
of the lip , bat iu the deep devotion of the heart . As such , our cause is grounded on immortal principles—and you may be well assured it will bring to its adherents no shame . As for myself , individually . I feel that it is now my painful , yet also my grateful office , to bid farewell to associates , whose prompt and active zeal has lightened the load of business , and Bhared and smoothed the responsibilities of office ; to friends , whose warm and steady kindness has gladdened the hour of recreation , and encircled the storehouse of pleasant and lasting recollections ; and to the Irish people , who will command my respectful attachment , sympathy , and gratitude , wherever I may have the means to serve as long as I have the power to remember . " Several other toasts having been disposed of , the company broke np at half-past twc-lvs o ' clock .

On the return or the servants , however , to dinner at noon , a Bcene the most horrifying presented itself—tl -7 discovered their mistress lying upon her face on the floor , surrounded by a pool of blood . After they had in some degree recovered from their alarm , they raised the body and discovered her head nearly severed from the trunk , and in a rigid state . The kitchen floor , on which the deed of darkness was committed , appeared to be m confusion , and , on a closer examination , they found that the drawers , &o ., had been broken open and ransacked , the murderers leaving traces of their guilt on the various artioles of furniture whioh they had touched during . their pilfer .

taken the road leading to Lyth , immediately proceeded to that village , and succeeded in capturing them . They proved to be Irish reapers , travelling in search of employment . On searching them , not any evidence of their participation in the oritae could be found on their persons . They stated they were going to the neighbourhood of Mickleby for work , at which place they had been engaged last autumn . Mr . W . felt justified in their detention , and removed them to Whitby , where they underwent an examination before C . Richardson and J . Chapman , Esqr 8 ., and { were remanded until after the coroner ' s mfueBt , whioh was then sitting at theTunnell inn , which , after a lengthened investigation , was adjourned until Thursday morning , at nine
o ' clock . During the whole of Wednesday the town of Whitby and the surrounding neighbourhood were in a state of the greatest possible excitement . The police and the neighbouring farmers were unremitting in their exertions to discover the assassin ; rumour Hpon rumour was greedily received as faot by the multitude , and we regret that one name was most unjustly connected with this mysterious affair . Unfortunately at a late hour no information could be gained of the murderer . On Thursday morning the adjourned inquest met , the coroner ( Join Buchannan , Esq- > being accompanied by the Whitby bench of magistrates . The Irishmen were removed to the Tunnell inn , for the purpose of being present at the investigation . We muoh doubt if any evidence can
be adduced to criminate thorn . They were recognised by several farmers ; and from their testimony we judge them to be quiet and inoffensive men . Tho deceased was the wife of a highly-respected farmer , and aged about sixty-one years . Though the transaction of the tragedy is as mysterious as it is alarming , we fancy wo should deceive ourselves were we to imagine that it had been committed by the hands of a perfect stranger . It is supposed that the deed had been done with a shoemaker ' s kni ' e , one having been found iu the fire with the handle burnt off it . There is no doubt but booty alone has led to the crime , although we have not as yet ascertained that more than £ 33 in gold is missing . Up to the time that our account left Whitby , the jury were still Bitting , and we , therefore , are unable to give the
result of their patient inquiry . — York Herald of Saturday . Nothing since has transpired to lead to the discovery of the murderer , but it appears he had coneealed himself in an out-house , and removed a tile from the roof to have a full view of the kitchen door . The opinion we ventured to give , that the murder had been committed by no stranger to the house , appears now to become quite prevalent , from the various circumstances whieb . have since presented themselves . Wilkinson , the active police-officer , ia still out on the search . One hundred pounds reward has been offered to any person not actually concerned in the murder for the capture of the offender . The bereaved husband it is said , has resolved never again to sleep in the house although his own , and is about to sell his stock and crop and leave the premises .
Extensive and Calamitous Fihe at St . John ' s , New Brunswick .. —At half-past one o ' clock on Thursday afternoon , the 27 th of August , a fire commenced in tho ship-yard of Messrs . Owens and Duncan , in the adjoining village of Portland , and before it was stayed , it had extended its ravages over the principal part of that thriving place . The sad catastrophe is said to have had its origin in the firing of a quantity of cTtips , and sprinklings of tar , at the bows of a new vessel nearly completed in the ship-yard , by a red-hot bolt which fell from the hands of one of the workmen engaged in enlarging a hole in a portion of the ship ' s rigging . The fire immediately communicated from the chips to the bottom of the vessel , which had been newly tarred ,
and soon spread to all parts of the yards and ship , defying every attempt to extinguish it . From the ship the flames extended to the workshops in the vicinity , and frem them to th « dwelling houses fronting on Portland-street , and so rapid was the work of destruction in this vicinity that a great quantity of the contents of the dwellings near the ship-yard were consumed in the houses , the dense Bmoke which arose from the yard contributing to prevent all ingress after a short time . From the side of Portland-street , adjoining the ship-yard , the flames crossed to tho opposite side , destroying all the houses on that side from the house occupied by Mr . Blackburn , tailor , and others , to the foot of Fort Howe , and extending to all the houses situated
directly in the rear of those last-mentioned , on the Bide of the hill , and which have their front on the road leading round Fort Howe , in the direction of Jenny Spring-farm . Returning to the place where the fire originated , it extended up Portland-street to the Btreet running south past the Methodist meeting-house and engine-house , which formed the western boundary , and consumed everything in its courso , reaching back the whole depth of that block . Tho methodist meeting-house , the only house of the block in which it stands that was burned , was the last building that caught fir © . The wind was from the south-west , which drove the burning cinders , &c . into open fields in rear of Fort Howe , and did not endanger the safety of property ao much as
would have been the case bad the wind been from any other quarter . One building , however , in that district , the old gun house , on Fort Howe , took fire from ciuders falling upon it , and wag consumed in a few minutes . The number of buildings destroyed cannot be less than 60 , and among them were many largo tkree and four story houses , several newlyerected dwelling-houses , and a Wesleyan Methodist meeting-house . There was also consumed , a superior vessel of 000 tons , ready for launching , together with all their ship-building tools , implements , & 3 ., belonging to Messrs . Owens and Duncan , on which , we regret to learn there was no msurance . The mecting-houso was insured for , £ 000 , and taking the remaining houses generally , we believe we are safe
in saying that the amount of insurance effected is comparatively nothing . The firo companies , with iheir engines , axes , A . c , from the city , were present , as were also the officers aud men of the 36 cu regiment , and the royal artillery , together with , Lieut . Elliot , and tho gallant tars from her Majesty's . brig , Racer—all of whom were most active to save property and prevent the extension of the flames . The want of a sufficiency of water was folt during the whole afternoon , the lido being out at the time . Tearing down houses was resorted to at last » 3 a means of stopping tho progress of the element , aud herein , the officers and men of her Majesty ' s brig Racer shone conspicuously . The loss , we are sorry to Bay , lias fallen chiefly upon persons who are quite unable
to bear it . Mauy of the owners of houses had their all jnvested in their property , and were supporting themselves by their own honest industry—and tho greater portion of the tenants were persons in poor circumstances , depending upon their daily earnings for maintenance . This misfortune , added to the late suspension of work in tho principal ship-yards in Portland , must prove of serious injury to the industrious portion of our suburbs ; and the distressing circumstances of many of the sufferers call aloud upon the more wealthy portion of our citizens for temporary relief under this afflicting catastrophe . With this laudable intention in view , a public meeting was called last evening by the High Sheriff of the county , at which a large number of persons were present , when committees were appointed for colkcting fuuds and affording assistance to those most
requiring immediate aid . | We trust the benevolent object of the committees will command such success as will enable them to relievo from present want all th « industrious people who have been thrown out of work , and are-left destitute by this melancholy occurrence . The fire raged without intermission for nearly five hours , and oonsamed property , of the value of which no correct estimate can yet be formed , but whioh is supposed to amount to £ 25 , 000 . We have been handed the following estimateof the losses , &c .: —53 houses burned and pulled down , valued at £ 17 , 50 t ; Wealeyan chapel burned , £ 2 , 000 ; ship on the stocks , partly rigged , £ 7 , 000 ; rigging , Ac , not in the ship , £ 7 . 000 ; furniture , goods , &e . destroyed , £ 2 , £ W ; making a total of £ 30 , 00 : SM » families , ontaining 1 . 1 S 0 people , have been turned out of house and and home , W 0 of whom may be said to be ia distress .

The answer isthere are in New York five grog-shops where there ia one in London ! The Uhfokiuhate Cipher . —The Marseilles Gazette , a , few weeks ago , tells us a curious anecdote ¦¦
relating to one of the first commercial men of tho town . This gentleman , having a business correspondent on the African coasts , bethought him some time since , that , as some members of his family had shewn a partiality for monkeys he might gratify them by sending for one or two specimens of these animals from Atrioa . Accordingly , he wrote to his correspondent to procure two or three of the fineat and most admired species , and transport them to Marseilles . Chance bo ordered it that the merchant , in putting down the ou ( in English orj , between the figures 2 and 3 , made the 0 very prominent , while the u remained scarcely visible .
" What great events from trifling causes spring f " Some months afterwards , a ship-porter came in all haste to the old merchant , and announced to him that his menagerie had arrived . ° Menagerie 1 " cried the merchant . " Yes , a menagerie ; a whtle cargo of monkeys had arrived to his consignment . ' " The merchant could scarcely credit the announcement , until the letter of his correspondent was put into his hands . In that epistle , the African negooiant , a man of the most uncompromising exactitude , excused himself very earnestly for not having been able , with all his exertions , to procure more than 160 monkeyB , in place of the 203 ordered ; but promised , as soon as possible , to fulfil the entire demand . The feelings of the honest merchant may be guessed , when , on moving down to the quay to satisfy himself on the subject by ocular inspection , he beheld his 160 monkeys , all duly caged and littered , and grinning at him with the most laudable pertinacity . It was a moment when a man might reasonably doubt whether ii would be best to laugh or cry .
Scandalous Fbau » s . —In consequence of the suspension of payment at Messrs . Hobhouse and Co . 's Bank at fiath } some persons yesterday took advantage of the railway conveyance to come to Bristol and pass the notes of that firm at shops in the purchase of small articles , receiving the difference in coin . We have the names of three respectable tradesmen who were thus victimised , each in a 45 note , by two ladies ; bat one of them , by due tact and activity , overtook the ladies at the railway station , and recovered his meney , and the two others coming up soon after , had equal success . One of the persons defrauded went in the same train as the ladies to Bath , and there traced them to the heuseof a tradesman , considered to be of great respectability
who , on being questioned , acknowledged that they were his daughters . In one part of the city , however ( Redcliff-stroet , ) we believe , several tradesmen were more effectually cheated . A person went to a highly respectable snuff-manufacturer and changed a £ , ' ) note ; after whioh he went to two shops in the neighbourhood , and actually had the effrontery to say that the gentleman whom he had just cheated had sent him to them to ask if they could change him a £ 5 note ! The trick , we are sorry to say , succeeded . A linen-draper , in Wine-street , was let " into the secret" by a fine dressed lady to the tune of £ 10 . Two young ladies , probably those first mentioned , have also defrauded a respectable grocer at Clifton with a £ 5 note . —Felur Farley ' s Bristol Journal .
Railroad Rascalities . —The treatment to which the poorer class of railway travellers , ia the thirdclass carriages , are subjected upon some of the lines of communication is most insufferable , and mnst , if continued , have the effect of prohibition , as far as travelling is concerned , to all who cannot afford to pay for the accommodation of the second or first class trains . Not only are the third-clasB passengers treated with exoessive insolence , and , as regards accommodation , with utter neglect , but eveTy petty annoyance that is likely to render the trains required for their accommodation unpopular , is resorted to . A person travelling from Manchester to Leeds , one day last week , in one of these carriages , says , " A bag of soot was placed among the passengers when
the tram left Manchester , and a little further on a dozen of empty flour sacks were thrown very unceremoniously upon the heads of the people in the vehicle . One young fellow had his Sunday coat nearly ruined by the collision-with the bags , and it seems must put up with the damage , because he could not afford to ride by a first class train . About midway between the termini of this line , a large board is placed , with the following insolent and most unnecessary notice , unless , indeed , it be necessary to remind the poorer class of travellers that they are an inferior race of beings . This board says— " The porters are not permitted to wait upon waggon-train passengers ! " Is the insolence of the understrappers of the company to be wondered at , when such an
example is set them by their employers ! " I have seen ( says a correspondent of a recent date ) a poor but respectable old woman vainly attempting to lift her basket into the train , in which she has been , at length , necessarily assisted by the passengers , while three or four brawny porters have stood idly by looking at her , laughing at her fruitless exertions ; or , perhaps , over-busy in assisting a cigar-smoking jackass in the first class to adjust his carpet-bag . " One would think common decency , to say nothing of common humanity , would have prevented bo offensive a regulation . However , such exist ? , and most probably , if publio attention is not vigilantly directed to the conduct of the railroad authorities , other regulations , equally stringent and
offensive to the second class passengers will : gradually creep into practice . The public must arouse itself from the disgraceful indifference it manifests to the question of the railway monopoly , before it is bound hand and foot , and completely placed at the mercy of those who have taken the travelling affairs of the country out of its hands , aud appear to bo invested with power to impose lawa without conralting those who are to bo governed by them . Petitions are of little use , certainly , whtu popular convenience is the subject of them ; but it might be worth while to try the experiment , and pray the Legislature to take into consideration the various codes of regulations adopted on the several lines , and enact one judicious scheme for the protection of the travellers , which should be imperative on the whole .
Bernard Cavanagh . the Fasting Man .- —On Thursday , this person , in the presence of many medical men , was liberated from his confinement . It was the eleventh day since he had submitted himself to the custody of a gentleman , who , in the first instance , doubted his powers of abstinence , but who is now convinced , that though there may be some causes , yet unexplained , which enable him to live for so long a period without food or drink , still that the power which he possesses of fasting is extremely remarkable . There were present Sir J . M . Doyle , Dr . Kenney , Mr . Reynolds , Mr . Coulson , Dr . Richmond , Dr . Brooks , and many other medical men , who questioned Cavanagh . without eliciting anything that is worth repeating . He looked certainly thinner
than when he was confined , and this he attributed to want of exercise . The room in which Cavanagh was confined is 15 feet by 9 , and 7 feet high . It is a garret , and is situate in the most busy part of Limb's Conduit-street . He wished to have the window as well as the fire-place sealed , but the gentleman who made the experiment , fearful of the ill-consequences of shutting up a man in so small an apartment , refused to accede to this requeft , which ho now understands is made a cause of cavil . Any one , however , who kuows the locality of Lamb's Conduitstreet , and the continual thoroughfare , must be aware that no food could easily have been conveyed to him by the window . However , throwing this doubt overboard , it cannot be denied that this is a very singular case . We are aware that Kitson has given some curious instances of the power of fasting , and that many others may be found in the Philosophical Transactions , but still we have not of the
had for msny years an opportanity teatmg truth of those who profess to be enjoying suoh extraordinary powerB of abstinence . That Cavanagh may be able to fast ten , twelve , or even fourteen days , We have not the slightest doubt . Bat the statement that he has fasted five years fe what we cannot , in the present state of our knowledge , believe . Before Cavanagh was locked up , he was entirely denuded ot his wothes , shoes , he ., and was searched by Dr . Kenney , in the presence of a medical man . He was again on the seventh day denuded in the presence of Dr . Kenney , and several other gentlemen , whose name we need not give , but who are well known ia London . He was then allowed to go to chapel in custody of a pbjBioian aad a solicitor . On his return b » was locked up , and « o remained until Thursday . We have at . present no remarks to make npon this ease , it being tho i * Uotio « of the gentleman to extend hie inquiriea farther , not being ae ye * perfectly satisfied with all he had aoea .

VIRTUE OF THE FACTIONS ; The . principal faot detailed in the following placard appeared , shortly stated in a portion of our impression of last week : we now prini entire the document which has been put forth by "the lads" of Sonderland , to whom the infamous offer was made , and by whom it was spurned with virtuous iadiga > tion : —
" £ 125 BRIBE ! "To conceal lbs proceedings of a pick-pocket , or permit a Thimble-rigger to practise his swindling arts upon tea unfortunate dupes , would , by every man of common sense and honesty , be regarded as a groas breach ., of duty , and a virtual participation in . those crime * . But what is the crime of a pickpocket or a thimble-rigger to that of the man , or the party , that would , buy and sell the right * and interests of a
Nation ; destroying all publio integrity and patriotism ; blasting' all faith between man and man ; and dooming to endless toil and misery , a poor , because a plundered and misgoverned , people f i What , is the crime of a pimp , and procuress , seducing female virtue to sinister to lost , compared with the infamous conduct of those who wonld seduce the virtue ofonr citiseos , and indue * them to sail to a base and plundering faction , that franchise which they axe solemnly bound to use fox the best Interests of the entire people 11 .
"Justice to you requires that those wretches should be exposed , and therefore we proceed at once to acquaint you , that a fellow brought from London , wearing Pickwick spectacles , and carrying a huge Aldermanic care ase , representing himself as the friend of a friend of Mr . Wolveriey Attwood ( mark the fellow's cunning and caution ) did , yesterday , wait upon &Ir . George Binns , and make overture to him , to induce the Chartist * to act sons to promote the return of Wolveriey Attwood . Mr . Binns , in order to have the fellow ' s villainous scheme fuily developed , and witnessed by others , appointed a second interview with him yesterday afternoon .
" This interview took place in the presence of Mr . Williams and several others , who succeeded in drawing him to embody his proposals in a definite Bhape , which wero , that the sum of one hundred and twenty-five pounds-would be paid , if the Chartists should act as he desired . " He was requested to call again at eight o'clock yesterday evening , and in the meantime arrangements were made for giving the fellow a good tarring and feathering ; but , for the sake of the peace of the town ,
the latter ceremony was dispensed with . He came at eight o'clock , when , having reiterated his promise , and offering to deposit the monet , he was then suddenly and terribly convinced of the folly , as well as the iniquity , of his conduct . . He got suoh a rebuke as he will not readily forget , and was told to go and tell Mr . Wolverley Attwood , that the Chartists of Sunderland , though poor , were yet honest ; while lie , though a < highly respectable London merchant , ' w& 3 yet a most unprincipled scoundrel .
" Electors and non-Electors of Sunderland t this statement offsets needs no comment . When each deeds can be practised with Impunity under our reformed < Constitution , ' and the man practising such acts still be recognised as a gentleman , the folly of finality and the worth ot a gentleman are evident Let the franchise be given to all and its free exercise secured by the Ballot and virtue only recognised as true nobility ; then , but not till then , wlil England be free horn rtepectablejkn&yea , and Englishmen be truly happy . "
Now , what will the enemies of an extension ' of popular rights say to this I Will they dare again to tell us that the people are too ignorant to be entrusted with political power ? or too venal to oxercise that power witn virtue and genuine independence 1 Are the " respectable" merchants , millowners , and Bhopocrates to be longer tolerated in talking of the sordid corruption of the working men ?! Even , could it be shown that a majority of the working classes are as corrupt and as easy to be seduced from the paths of rectitude as their base traducers would represent th « m , still it is most
illjudged in those advocates of moral purity (!) to drag suoh matters before the public gage . Suppose the whole of their accusations to be true ; to what would it amount ! simply to this , that they have been' apt scholars in the scale of middle-class corruption ; and that , if a readiness to be corrupted Be a sufficient ground for disqualification , ( and we admit that when the crime is proved it is so , ) a readiness to corrupt is a still greater crime , and onght not only to disqualify from voting , but to close the door of respectable society against the rascal who thus deliberately seeks the demoralisation of his fellow-men and every one who aids , abets , countenances , or encourages'him .
But how stands the fact ? Why , the working men who are unfit to be trusted with the Franchise , are yet deemed worth being bribed ; and the magnificent Bum of £ 125 is offered by a membarof the respectable c $ rps as the price at which the Chartists arc to sell their cause ! We cannot but admire the boundless liberality of this truly generous offer . £ 125 fora seat in Parliament ! £ 125 for the power to pick pockets according to law ! I £ 125 for the chance of realising aB many thousands from Btout John Bcll !!! Well , this is noble and generous in the extreme ; and the men of Sunderland must be hopelessly mad not to have caught at the golden bait when they had nothing to do , in order to secure it , but abandon principle , and nothing to lose , but the approval of their own consciences , and the approbation of all honourable men ! ' -
Again we must not forget to look at the value to the purchaser of the commodity thus sought to be purchased . That commodity was the votes and influence of the Chartists of Sunderland . Now why did Mr . Wolvebeey Attwood or Mr . Wolveelet Attwood ' s friend ' s friend evince a desire to purchase the support of the Chartists of Sunderlaud ? Because such influence it was known would , if exerted in avour of either of the factions , turn the scale of the election . This it was , and this alone which induced the magnificent offer to Mr . Binns , their influence was deemed to be , i < ay , waskaown
to be invaluable to the party who could secure it ; so the cunning rogues , conceiving no doubt , that the Chartists were but green-horns iu election tactics , resolved to come down with a bounce , and intended to pasi themselves off as mighty generous fellows ; but found to their discomfiture that the lads had some knowledge of their own value in the national market ; and , moreover , that not having learnt tho " gentleman ' s code of honour , " which would have kept this little affair quite private , they let the thin <; come out , and raised the hue and cry about the ears of their unprincipled seducer .
We tell the dolts and fools who go to work to bribe the ChartistB , that , in order to succeed , thoy must come down handsomely . Nothing but a promise to do justice to the whole people , by tho enactment of the Charter , accompanied with good and sufficient securities for the fulfilment of the bond , will induce us to meve an inch . Let them proceed in that track , and wo promise them our warmest support ; we will send some of our wisest troops to lead
them on , lest their ignorance should lead them into mistakes , and we will place our bravest in the rear , lest in a panic they should be disposed to turn back , * for when we have onee got them into their proper place , we mean to bate no tuch thing as sounding a retreat . We Will move for Universal Suffrage ; that is , for universal right and jutiee , and wa will prevent every movement thai is of aoontrary tendency .
They have tried 4124 , and failed .. Wheunoxi the minions of either faction are dispoeed to < fie > a bribe to the Chartists , let them multiply the bribe by at loa * t one tton » nd . - Let them toy m wiih 413 i , 0 ^ and see how , they would th « nM «« ted ; Onward ! onward ! and Oeraftagait woo I
