Tea , mighty tyrant ! virtue's earnest cry Hath reach'd the regions of the Great Most High . He hears the pray r and ope's sweet mercy ' s hand , And raiseth champions in oar cause to stand . If or think ye monsters faabion'd like to men , That you the heaven-crcated tide can stem .

KEIGrHLEV . —A vestry meeting took place in this town , or Friday last , for the purpose of laying a church rate for the ensuing year . At five minutes to eleven o ' clock , Mr . Busfield , tho parish parson , attended by a group of pot-bellied landlords , two ¦ magistrates , two or three brandy-5 pinncrs , iwo ; auctioneers , a deputy-constable , a number of burai ba . i : iff ~ , lawyers , and . others , to the number of ; ' thirty , entered the charch . At eleven , the vestry i door was opened , and in rushed tha working men , ' who numbered about three hundred . Tho place being too small , the P ^ rton , without any motion } being made , adjourned tho meeting into the church-; yard , where he soon seated himself on his official ¦ tripod . After some small talk , he mounted the ; sacred stool , and , in true parsonic style , endeavoured to humbug the people , by appealing to vheir softer pas-ion' -, bu : it was ' * no go ; " they had not forgot i the clocks , tables , desks , and wood he had s < izcd upon for Easter dues , and other gross impositions . . " The swinish multitude" did not r * lish such canting J hypocrisy . The Parson seeing this , immeaiately ' called upon Mr . Wm . Marrener , churchwarden , to read over the various items , to meet which the present rate was called for . Mr . M . hoped a good feeling would be manifested , and the rate , as it was a small one , granted without the matter being brought to a poll . Mr . F . Greenwood , magistrate , then proposed that a rate of three farthings ' in the pound be granted to mtet tho current expences of the year , and not suffer the sacred edidco . to . tall into decay ^ or leave the communicants without the emblems of the fl ; sh and blood of their . dying Lord . Mr . Firth , at this stage of the business , wished to ask the Rev . -Chairman , a question , nunse ] y , if t \ e parishioners , should more a counter resolution to the one they intended to submit to the meeting , and in ; the event of its btki £ carried , and j-huulil the church ; party demand a poll , wtulvi he fix upon Tuesday as ; the day for commencing ? " I shall reserve to mysolf ' the right of fixing any day I pkase , " was the reply . It was then moved by a workiti ^ man named John Waterhouse , and seconded by Mr . John Smith , " that this meeting do adjourn to this day twelve months . " Fond as the clergy are of pigs not their own , hi 3 Reverence did not relish this " grunt , " and refused to put the motion . It v ; as then proposed , by Mr . Joseph Firth , a fearless veteran iii tho : radical ranks , " That , as . the Rev . chairman refused to do his duty , he should vacate the chair , and that it ba taken by Mr . Robert Atkinson , hatter and crocer , a man of the sinctest integrity , intelligence , ; ,-liberality of principle and moral worth . " On bein « ! St'comied and put to the meeting , all the blistered ' hands were instantly up , aad it was triumphantly j " carried . ' The ' official locust fuither insulted the i meetirg by refusing to vacate the chair . Theassem- ; bled parishioners made repeated calls for the ; . erson I who had been geltcteu as their chairman , but he wa 3 -j ' nox willing to yield to their call , for reasons which on any otiier occasion would have had no weight j with him . Mr . F . Greenwood then seized the books i and ran off with them , and a few true sons of mother ' 1 chuich seized the table and tried tu up-set it . After i : the row had subsided , and a poll hail been demanded ' , ' Mes .-rs . Atkinson , Waterhoiise , end Firth , mounted a grave stone , and the two latter administered a . severe and well-merited castration to the church party .

_ ATTEMPTEb Murder . —The Limerick Chronicle o \ Saturday , contains the following particulars of an attempt to assassinate , in the open day , a , gfcnUemai ! ot lortune residing in Limeriok : — tk Yesterday between the hours of . thwe and forir o ' clock , withir one hundred yards of the village of Croagh , as Mr , | Robert :-Peppard ,. jun ., was riding home to Cappagh I from hia farm at KiUannon , three country fellows suddenly stopped him on the high road , and one oi them seizing his bridle rein drew out a pistol and 6 rod at the young genilemau , who received the , shot ( slugs ) through both arms , and immediately afterhe was struck with stones by the other ruffians ; who tied on hearing the cries of a woman in a house ) adjoining , who witnessed the outrage ^ elso they [ would have murdered their viotim on the spot . Mr . j Peppard was conveyed to his father's house , and we ; learn this morning , notwithstanding the severity of ! the wounds , that the medical gentlemen entertain j iavpurable hopes of his improvement . " i The Ennis Riots .-THe head constable . 37 conj stables , and sub-constables , who Were latyy exone-! rated by the Clare grand jury , of even a prima facie ; case of guih in the late riot at Ennis , left that town I on Friday for the police depot , Phoanix Park , Dubj an , where they are to remain for some time , after j which they will be transferred : to different stations The Evmitiff < Poslf states that Mr > L . G . Smyth , the stipendiary magistrate , who figured in the affair , has been ordered to change his quarters from Eanis to BorriB-o-Kane , Captain Duff relieving him at the former placd . If this be the amount of the punishj ment meted out to Mr . Smyth , he certainly has ho reason to complain of great harshness on the part of the Irish Executive . ^ ! Launch of the QaEEN East TNDUMAN .- —On Thursday , the river at JBlackwall presented an unusualiy }; ay and animated appearance , in consequence of the vast jnultitiide of persons ivhich crowded its banks and the numerous craft , to witness the launch of the splendid East India frigate , the Queen , from the yard of Messrs . Wigram and Green , whioh took j place at noon , in the pre ' sen ' ee of at least , 30 , 000 j persons . On the left hand side of the Queen was j placed an immense platform , for the accommodation ; of asekct number of visitors , and tho band : of the 73 rd | regiment , staiioned at Woolwich . The vessel herself had also at least 500 ladies and gentlemen on board . Theceremony of christeningthe Queen was performed by the Hon .

¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ | UN mo . ND . vY morning , about two ocIock , the lugi gag « -train from Southampton passed over a man j who was asleep , and lying across the rails on Woki inn-common . The obstruction created by the body [ first gave intimation to th * engine-driver that all j was hoc right , and he stopped the train within a few i yards of the spot where the ace < deut had occurred . The guard and stoker proceeded to " search ' for . dc-¦ i ceased , whom they found groaning dreadfully , and j without the right leg , which had been torn off , and , ' thrown some distance . ' ' The poor fellow was carried ¦ to tho train as carefully as possible . He wascon-! veyed to Nine-elms , but ceased to live before he I arrived at Esher . When taken up , he said his name j Whs John Mitchell , but he bad not power of speech ; sufficient to state anything further . When the train arrived at the terminus at Nine-elms , the guard , : hoping that the deceased might be only in a state of [ syncope , sent for Mr . Strathan , a surgeon in the Wandsworth road , who , upon his arrival declared ¦ the man to have been dead some hours , and attributed his death to excessive hemorrhage . It is but due to i the engineer to state that no possible blame could ' be attached to him . The deceased , who had evidently been drinking deeply , not knowing where ho was 1 going , had wandered on to the line , dropped down , and fallen asleep . i The Augsburg Gazelle states from Constantinople , : June 29 : h , that the British ambassador had had a conference with the Heis Effondi on the affair-5 of , Greece aud Syria . It is eupposed that the divan will agree to the proposals of Ejigland to invest the : eldest son of the Emir Beschir witH the sovereignty j of Lifbanon . The' Greek question was evaded by the ' Reis Kffeadi . The Porte has addressed a circular ! letter to the diplomatic corps , intimating that in future no journal , either in the Fr < nch or Greek languages , shall be allowed to appear Without a special licence , even though fiuch 'journals Bhould be ueder the protection of a soyereign power . < Dreadful Stoby . —On Thursday ^ week , while a i number of the workmen einployed in the erection of i Glenties workhouse were standiiig together , one of j them , with no bad intention ^ We beliove , took the i bonnet off his neighbour and threw it into the lime ' ¦ ¦ kiln belonging to the works , Which had hot been quito emptied since the last burning . The owner of 1 the boHiiet went down into the kiln to recover it , but , not making his . appearance , one of his friends also de ? ceiicied by the ladder , to seo what detained him , and aftrrwards another , and another , till four i had disappeared . Th p fears of the rest were now excited ; and , having hastened to the kiln , they : heard a faint flhnek , and with KJrcat difficulty suc-: ceeded , by throwing down a rope ,, in rescuing the lafct of the four who descended , from the fate which nad overtaken the other three . Death was caused ; by their inhalinK the carbonic acid gas which had collected at the bottamof the kiln . —Detry Standard . ! An Immense Gun . —On Thursday a barge arrived i at the wharf of the Royal Arsenal , having on board ; the largest gun ever made in this country . A poweri ful shears was put up expressly for landing this ! ponderous piece of ordnance , weighing very nearly ' eighteen tons , none of tho cranes on tho wharf being I equal to the task . The arrangements for landing this great gun were excellently made , and carried ! into effect without the slightest accident { and the i labour of conveying it to tho butt shows great ingenuity , being effected by a coil of strong rope around it , moving the immense mass in a rolling manner along four large logs of wood , changed alternately as the gun progresses . ' This gun is made on the howitzer principle , and is about twelve feet long , with an immense quantity of metal at tho breech . Tb . 3 diameter of the bore is within one 4 enth of sixteen inches . The weight of solid shot with which it will be fired is 4451 bs ., and shells of 3301 bs ., and it is expected two tolid t-hot of that ¦ •¦ weight ; and four shells in the sanie proportion will be used when it is proved at the butt . The howifzer was cast and bored by Messrs . Walker and Co . ; fpr Mehemeb Ali , Pasha of Etjypt , and two other large guns , 130 poundeTS , were landed at the same time to be proved for service in Egypt . ; .
LXTRAOBDINAY Escape , —On t riday last , whilst Kobert blee and John Hutchinson , two of the workmen employed in the iiohdon Company ' s . Lead Mines , at Murton , near Appleby , Westmoreland , were about leaving their daily calling , they were shut up in the minrs , owing to ithe falling of a large ; portion of the works . As soon ns the awful circumstance became known their fellow-workmen were inde ^ fatigabio in their exertions to savej if possible , the livesof the two men , who were , as was then supposed either dead or among the ruins , or , if still ali ve , doomed to a lingering death . Fortunately their exertions to save tho lives of Sloe and Hutchineon were successful for , after most laborious wsrking from Saturday till Monday , they accomplished the object of their the light of day , though greatly weakened in bodily Eearcli , and the two men were permitted again to beholds trength from fear and hunger , The surveyor ofthe mines , from plans which he had in his pose ^ sion , formed tho scheme of digging downwards to whert * tha irorkiug of the old shaft Came in obhtact with tho one which is at present worked . Had ibis plan been adopted at the onset , it is probable that the raen would have been rescued much sooner . Mr . Diuwoodie , tho company ' s surgeon , was in ; attendaneo from Saturday till Monday afternoon . One of thetucn had eaten three candles , and i he other had eaten nothing whilst in their dismal abode .

. ! , FbaNce . — -The Paris papers are ch'ffly occupied with the regency question , and other matters consequent oa the death of the Puke at' Orleans , Although the opposition prints no longer attack th « pruposed regency of the Dake of Nemoiirs , they require , as the price of their silence , that there ahal ] be a change , of Miniaters . Thia demand is made for the purpose of saving the consistency of the editors of the Courrier Francois and tke Si € ole , who , haying compromised themselves by supporting the regency of the Duchess of Orleans , require some more tangible excuse than the will of M . Thiers for their change of tactjes . Meanwhile , the king , notwithstanding the griof under whioh he is labouring , will open the chamber in person , and presen * to them the infant sou of the Duke of Orleans , who will hereafter be entitled Duke of Orleans , prince royal . We learn from the National that typhus fever is at this moment making great ravages in Paris ; and that to such an extent iias the infection extended , that ifc has bean necessary to prepare a <¦ fiupplementary hospital for the sick at Saltpetriere , The commercial treaty entered into by France witl : Belgium is to exist for foiiryearsi The Nixiiona states that extraordinary precautions are beiri ^ \ taken by the military authorities of Paris . Tnt troops are ordered to remain ' . in their barracks , aho gon 6 ral ofBcers are seen , both day and night , inspect ' ing the military posts , and ascertaining that the orders of the day are properly obeyed .

BBA 2 ( r . s . —Falmouth , July 21 . —Arrived hei Majesty ' s packet Peterel > Lieutenant : Cn > oke \ from the Brazils . Rio de Janeiro , May 27 . —Since the doparture of the last packet ( Express ) wo have had some important political movements , but , tbaflks to the energy of the existing government , the peace of this province has not been disturbed . The most important step was the dissolving ofthe legislatiyeasserubly , which took placo on the 2 nd inst . They were to haye melon the following day for the despatch oi business , and from the number of revolutionary characters amongt hem , a Btormy session was expected , All this has been happily obviated by the judicious measures of the goverimicnt , and the act of dissolution was read in the Chamber of Depuiies in profountl silence . The only mischief now to be feared is the infinence of the opposition members in the provinces . The splendid province of St . Paul's . one of the most important in the empire , has been for some time on the vergeM an outbreak , and on the receipt of this intelligence a . '¦ ¦ revolt took place in the town of Sofocaba , and which , if not checked in tlie bud , may have the most pernicious effacts . The president ' s demand for troops was immediately responded to , and on the very day on which the Hows was received a number of steamers left this with 2 , 000 troops on board , so that ere long we hope for more cheering accounts from that q ' uai ter ; . Ths j news from Rio Grande , the provinre bordering on on Monte Video , and which has been in a state oi rebellion for the last seven years , ia unimportant , and without the Icgalistas are largely reinforend i there appears little hopes of speedily regaining that I important province ; indeed many people , well acquainted with the country , say it will be impossible without the introduction of foreign troops .

Ho made the following confession : — - " 1 was not aloue when my mother came by her death ; there were three present besides me . My child , ten months old , was in bed in the room .

A sweep who was returning toieedshad obtained leave to ride in the waggon , and when the horses started off , and Firth was thrown down , he attempted to jump out .

Ana OI ye thousands , warm -with heavenly fire , Behold , and viewiEg let it each inspire ; Behold ! the embkm , must I say of who ? A tender patriot-and a patriot true ; He who fought nobly—he who scorn'd the smile Of those who trample on the sons of toi ! . And when old Priam from the Trtjan wall Beiiid thy radiance on each helmet fall ; Not then , O ! Sol , the day was half so great 1 That only weight ! a captive woman's fate : While this , with great events , will proudly teem , And tyjants tremble at each glorious scene .
Time rolls along > each shadow flies the west , And zaal impatient fills each mauly breast ; And like Atrioea "mong ths Greeian hosts , . Each son of freedom to fcis neighbonr posts ; Erects the standard of eternal truth , Gives hope to age and points the path of youth . The g ' orions sun now hangs in southern skies , Acd r : ; :-y murmurs do incessant rise , A 3 -tliru the wind loud prat'lins through the fcrove , "With rustic cadence cbarnis the ears of love ; As wh . en the herds do lowing Btek the folds , Asd down the ' vale the noisy clamour rolls : So mingled Voics-s , Jaise one geDtral sound , And ' preat O Cossor" dott aleud resonnd . Now ronE'l the hall the assembled thousands stand With gretcy ears to catch the glad command ; Command to march , but not o ' er fields of blood , "Whose modest daisies drink the crimson flood ; Commaad to march in majesty sublime , And hail the champion of a cause divine . 2 \ ov > through the throng the feand alond is heard , And st its bead the flag of freedom mr'd ; Am * bile its pesiings do each breast inspire , The Tra-riug banners fan the gen ' rons fire ; Bt : ^ to stood foremost and made bare bia breast Which sterling -srorth ard gen " ro 2 s love possess'd ; He who fc - fci tattltd in our glorious cause , And fell & victim to oppression's laws .
Behold ' . j £ thousands , and , beholding , feel That gtDTois throb which liberty must hes ! . ' L t loves pure spirit , from Elyrisn skies , With seal anstoopmg in -each breast arise ; Lei every Eonl attend to duty ' call , While resolution boldly filleth alL Then shiil yr-n corquer ; then cast down the foe ; And oa-Ech fur ever Eagland ' 8 greatest woe : Thea hbail oppTesrian yi&ld its Upaa breaUi , Ann iiii for tTer ia the shades cf death . And ibt-n . OJ Britain , shall that patriot dear , At -ffbee *; r- * tmblance virtne drops a tear ; Thei , shall ^ 6 burst oppression ' s , clankicg chains , OLfcinore to mingle with old Cambria ' s swainB ; Ar-1 then hrr breast where angry billows rise , SLiJl be ss iranqnil as the stiibhut skies ; And then the scbI now drown'd in floods of pain , Stall wsifc the music o ! the heart again ; Tbtn shtil all woe oppression ' s hand hath made , By hope ' s refulgence seek oblivion ' s shade ; Then shall no fears deprive biB soul of peace , Bat sui yha ^ Tanish in the fond embrace , Atid trtad serene the autumnal paths of life , A harpy husband and a blessed wife : With resignation seek life ' s closing hours , Thfcn wing together to Elysian bewia .
Each tiearfc now trembles for tbe fieatevent ; Eact st-nl ilhmun'd feels no longer pent ; Bet floats enpreme o ' er slaVry ' s grov'ling msse , And lives in freedom ' s bright TefolgexA biros . Baton he comeil ahJ no , 'tis not the car Ibai brings the champion of & nation ' s war . It bears aomfe tyrant to bislordly home —} Seme vile oppressor—some detested drone . And see , there sits upon hi * bloated cheek , bride's impioua smile st those who dare to seek Esdciiiptien : those wboTiObly stand 2 he n ^ ble pillars cf Britaniiia ' B land . That smile is weak , O tyrant ! for not all Can save the tctfring fabric from its fall lot aU your pomp ; not all yeur blaaon'd Eton y Soi dungeoD taming with unighteoua woej Kot all yovi sworda tbo' dyed with human blood ; Kor crowns uplifted on the crimson flood j *" r t all can gave ; for heaven our battle guides Ih& arm of justiee o ' er the field presides ,
