      THE BANNER OF GREEN " . The Tcr ' es c : ffl « forth tvith their banners of hlne , All strui ^ btrurwird tyrants . we'll give them their due Profuse with their money , but &erce in their wrath , Tfae darkness ut faction endangers their path . They sprang from the blood and the refuse of war , Ihe ksw of their murder was echoed afar ; And still 03 the vitals of freedom they feed , And tyrawiy 'writes tha dark paje of their creed .

      The Whip they come next , with their banner of flame , The friends cf the people in nothing bat name ; They wheedle and tell you economy ' s plan , Thea starve and imprison you , aye , to a man . The *; political toll-bars , they keep you away Prom the broad land of liberty , truth , and fill play : If you Ti ! ae the veal of the many—tha poor , You will stand " neath . the Whigs and their banner ne ' more . But hurrah for yoang liberty , dauntless in mien , Burr&h , g&llant l&ia , for " the banner of green ;" Let tyrants and fools smile on yellow and blue , We'll sail to our own spotless flag remain true . The day will arrive when oppression will cease , When freedom shall wear her bright laurels in peace ; Then wherever the dwelling of man can be seen , How proudly shall wave " the gay banner of green .

      THE CHARTIST HEARTS OF OAK A PARODY . ( Written in Kirkdale Prison ) Come , cheer up ye Chartists , to glory we steer , To add something new to this wonderful year ; To freedom we call yon , ye shall not be slaves , For all shall be free as the bo&s of the waves . Hearts of oak are within , Jolly Chartists our men . Who always are ready , As Chartists be steady , To fight and to conquer again and again .

      We ne'er see our foes but we wish them to stay , They never see us but they wish ns away ; If they run , why , we follow , and freedom adere ; For if they wont fight , what can we do more ? Hearts of oak , < £ c They swear they'll subdue us , these imbecile foes , Yet frighten no women , no children , nor beaux ; But should they , the dark , spy plots once get o'er . Still Chartists they'll fiod us to fighfc them once more Hearts of oak , fee .

      HALIFAX . —On Monday week , the members of the Loyal Trafalgar Lodge , No . 454 , of the Manchester Unity of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows , in the Halifax diftrict , held their anniversary in the Royal Hotel 2 xd Odd Fellowo'Hall Tap , when upwards of 130 members sat down to an elegant SEd sabstantial dinner , provided by Mr . Kid Mrs . G . ' o"er . MIIJ-LOTHIAK . —Collebs' Stbikb . —This determined aiid uajflmching body of men are still out on strike , in Dumber about twelve hundred , without the least prospect ( as fax as present appearances po ~ ) of a speedy settlement ; the men and their families are enduring great privations , still they are in good heart , notwithstanding the many gro « 3 falsehoods , and vile calumnies with which they have beeH a ? s ? iied ; they are truly a brave set cf fellows . At the White Hill colliery there arc

      about seventy black s-heep , pretending to hew coal , they are ( I am told ) a most wretched Bet , consisting of some of the worst characters in the county of Edinburgh ! They are not colliers ; some are country labourers , and some who never before kboured it all . Indeed the great part of tbese miserable cowardly Black Nebs are the very refase of society ; getting these mean fellows to pretend to work , is an artful dodge , got up to frighten the poor colliers into wcrk ; but the brave lads see through the trick , and will not be caught . As might be expected , these fellows taking the colliers work , has Rreatly exasperUed the latter , and it is feared they will be attacked ; however , I would advise them to let them alone ; they will shortly find their own level . Colliers ! treat them with silent contempt ; your oppressors would be glad to catch you breaking the law ; avoid the trap !—Correspondent .

      CAEL 1 SLE .-Lecttzb . es cx Socialism . —Mr . Robeii Uwen ceiivered a coarse of three lectures in oar Theatre last week . There -was a pretty numerous and respectable attendance each evening . He was lirttned to throughout wi : h the greatest attention ; apd hi- - kctuies , which were icHdiy applauded , cot ocly gave treat delight to his friends and admirer ? , but were well received by the public . His nitj : cts were " the Caufes of , and only Remedy for , the existing distress , dificuliies , and dangers which pervade the Manufacturing and Agricultural Population cf Great Britain aud Ireland . " In his fct lecture , he dwelt on the ' Science of Society , " whicbjbe said , was divided into four grand elements , namely , arrangements to produce wealth ,

      arrangements to dis-ributo ihat wealth , arrangements to form the h' : man character , and arrangements to govert , locally and generally , beneficially for all . At present , these elements , over the world , were in the most random coiifui-ion ;—there had been no wisdom or foresight displayed ; and the most incoiigrnoQS acd injurious proportions existed in every part of socieiy . Sir . Owen contended that . society was now in possession of all the materials , in the greatest abundance , which , would change the present wretched system of ignorance and misery , for a state superior to any yet experienced by the human nee . He proceeded — " When I firrt entered in ' . o life , the manufacturing system was about commencing in this country . I

      was early detply involved in it . I Tery eool saw the eStcts which must irrow np from ii , and could trace us ultimate consequences . These consequences ¦ were cot only foretold ty me , but I published it at the time , and the publication is now on record . I then stated what has exactly occurred at the present day . At that period onr population was doe more than fifteen milliens in Great Britain and Ireland ; and these fifteen millions produced , under the then arrangtmcix f -s of society , before the people were tsken in g mills and factories , a manual power of about three millions—one fifth of the population . These mre assisted by the old machinery , and the mvsls spinning wheel * Al ! the thread was then ssun a Eiisele thread at a time upon the cottage

      wheel . This had not been altered for many hundred jeais . and snicented to abouc the labour of twelve millions . Ihese were assisted by the labour of the three milr . cEs , making fifteen millions ; thus the combined productive power cf science and labo' -r ^ ere just equal to the population , or the population isd productive po ^ er siood aa one to one . In the jear 1755 1 purchased of the partners the estabHshmeutof >" ew Laisrk , in Scotland , and 1 found by my calculations that -with tbe working part of that population , smeennng to about 1 , 800 out of a ? ° Folaiion o : 2 . 50 b , and ihe machinery discovered bj Arkwright and Watt , that the 1 . . 800 individuals were produc-. ng as much , ae upon the old plan of a SEtfe thread would have required a population of 600 , 000 . K&W i observe this Bingle fact , and it will lead 5 o \ ain : nds to aright conclusion . They thus fjameoj&telj l 0 ? t the differer . ee of the market

      between the coemption of 2 , 500 and 800 , 000 . It was by this disproportion of increase , and the markets of we world , that , for the first time in the history of uie h uffiin raw , we were now starring from protocing too mnch , and because we haTe not sense fiiongh to know how to apply this mechanical power A , what has bfcfn ihe change in that time ! Oar J » PHlation has not \ et been doubled , but the increase of frientiSo " power has been from twelve nnhons to upwards of seven hundred millions , or « ore thin twenty to one of the population . It is « 9 same as if * u individual had twenty slaves forking tiorning and ni ^ ht , who neither eat , drink , 5 &r wear clothes , and yet this individual was in a worse condition than when he bad only one slave ; M the people of th " s highly Christian country are n ? w in the most degraded condition , and suffering " ^ reis which is accumulaUDg upon them , How is

      thi ~ , my frjenJs I It show 3 there has been tomettin < fundamentally wrung in ths foundation of socitty ; for if society had been based upon a taund principle—if those who ruled the world had understood what was gomg forward—what this power vras , and ho ^ r * . o givo it a wise direction , the results would have been the vary opposite of : hose wnich have taken place , and wo might- now have had as w \; ll-employed and well-educated population . " Mr . Owen continued at some length to show that from the misapplication of machinery , through a system of individual interests , and scieatiao power being brought into competition with manual labour , that the hours of labour had been lengthened , and the physical , mental , and moral condition of the

      population had been deteriorated to a frightful degree ; and Stated it as his opinion that if machinery had been employed under a system of uuUed . interests , the laboar of man might be abridged to four hours a day . After alluding to the injury to society and the bad feelings generated , from land , labour , capital , and skill being separate and conflicting interests , Mr . Owen concluded hia first lecture by eome remarks upon the effect of what are called the learned professions—Hpon the happiness of mankind . —In his second lecture Mr . Owen entered into his peculiar views of the formation of human character , contending that any general character , from a very inferior to a very superior being , might be given to any

      individual by the society amongst whom he was born . Some written questions were handed in at the close of each leoiure , to which he replied . The third lecture was on the Milennial 6 tate of existence , which he contended would b \; produced by the adoption of bis views . All the preaching in the world he maintained would never prodnce ** peace on earth , good will to man , " until practical arrangements were formed for removing the strife , contention and injustice generated by a system of individual interestjand competition . At the close of this lecture , a great many questions were put , principally of a theological character , to which replies were given .

      DUNDEE . —We perceive from the Star that the people -of various places are be . - tirring themselves with success iu returning men of sound demooratie principles at the local elections . This is a point of attikek which has been but too much neglected in almost every town in the kingdom by the people . The people potsesaa power in these matters which they have not been properly alive to ; and it ia one of the most cheering aspects of the times to see them set about their own work in earnest . Duudte has fora number of successive years bearded the factions at the local elections , but this yearpromises a reward to their labours beyond their most . sauguine

      expectations . Tha election of police commissioners ( twentytwo in number ) took place about ten days ago . The Chartists set to work in a business-like manner . Upon the other side , pablie houses were opened , and whiskey dealt out freely whhout money and without price . The democrats pursued a steady and sober course , and after the keenest contest ever held in Dundee , thirteen Chartists were returned . This , you will exclaim , is 'a decided majority ; not so , they have provided in the act that the Sheriff , Provost , four BaiLies and Dexn of Guild are commissioners rr-oficio . It is such a working minority , however , as has caused much alarm in the enemy ' s camp .

      Death op Alian Cc > m > ghah . —Mr . Allan Cunnir . gham , the poet and well-known prose writer , of ' 27 , Lower Belgrave-placc , died suddenly on Saturday evening from an attack of apoplexy . He was the personal friend of Sir Walter Scott and Sir Francis Chantrey , and a nun whose literary fame was universally known . Hi ? age was 57 . An Eel , S feet 6 inches long , and 2 feet in circumference ; was brought op in a scoop , last week , by some ballast-men at work in the Thames . The ballast-men stated that the e * l snorted and barked at them-like . a dog when they first took it out of he water . A rich mise of yellow amber , of a hardness equal to rork crystal , has jast been discovered in the neighbourhood of the town of Zehderick , near Potsdam . This discovery is the more remarkable , as up to the present time yellow amber has only been found in the Baltic , or on the shores of that sea .

      Ca . val between thb ATiANiie a > d Pacific Oceans . —It has been decreed by the Congress of New Granada , that all the privileges which have heretofore been given to the French and English , in opening a canal through Panama , be forfeited and withdrawn , and the project of connecting tbe Atlantic with the Pacific- be thrown open to the competition of the whole world . So vast and unprec ? dented have bpen the shoals of herriDgs this season upon the Margate coast , that the Jane , one of the fishing smacks , arrived at the jet'y on Sunday morning week , with a careo of the miraculous number of 50 , 000 ; tho whole of which the crew . disposed of to a fish curer for £ 50 , being less than a farthing each .

      Gigantic Skeleton . —A few weeks siDce , while digging in a tan-pit at Mr . M'Intosh ' s works , about a mile and a quarter west from Grangemouth , the workmen came upon several very large bones of the posterior'fextremities of an immensely large horse , about six feet from the snrface , imbedded in blue clay . The stratum of clay ia about forty-two feet thick . Afterwards , it was resolved to exhume the skeleton , and care was taken , on removing the superstrata , to ascertain if it had been a buried animal . The upper strata wa . = about twenty inches thick , and there was no moisture in the clay ; it appeared jast to have been gradually covered . The skeleton" was a very large one ; from the

      foreteeth to the back part of ihe Fkull was two feet , and by the teeth , he had been about five years old at his death . The shoe- ; were upon the feet ; at the greatest breadth they are five and a half inches and , although considerably worn , one weighs lib . I 4 oz . " imperial . The bont 3 are reddifih coloured , and appear mnch like those found at Binnockburn . From tho depth in which it was imbedded , and the shoes having also been found upon it , it must have long been buried , and is probably one of the horses killed at the first battle of Falkirk . A part of vhe English army would likely be upon the spot where is was fonnd on the day of the battle . —Stirling Observer .

      Sbipwreck ., and Stbasce Story of the Scrvivors . —A Corre .-poncent , who witnessed the circumstances related belo . v , gives the following a-ccount of them : —During the storm of Tuesday last , tht ; 25 th , a ship was wrecked at this place ( Eastbourne ) under the following extraordinary circumstances . It strikes me , that the particulars ought to be made known . Soon after four o'clock a vet = el was seen coming round Beachy-bead very near to the land ; and it soon was evident that 8 he would Ehortly be on shore . In a few minutes she struck on a ltdj . c cf rocks , called the Bolder-ridge , very nearly opposite to the sea-housea . We could distinctly read h ( r name as she reeled round , " Wa t , oi Piyi&ouih . " The most intense aDxiety perva-ced

      every class of the numerous spectators . No boat , except the life boat , could venture to put off , without a certainty of destruction ; and many impatiently began to exclaim , Where is the life-boat ? Why do they delay ? But it soon was sbown that the persons to . whem the care of her was intrusted were waiting , not from fear or indifference , but most wisely . She was carried on wheels about half a mile westward , and then was launched . It was a most bfauiiful sight to see how rapidly aad yet how steadily she cat through the foaming waves . And when she came away with every one of the crew rescued and safe , her approach to land was more like an arrow frcm a bow , than ihe motion of a boat . I am afraid to say for bow many yards she came on the crown

      of one tremendous wave , which ' . hrr-w her high on the beach . The crew consisted of the chiel' mate , four men , and two boys ; and the report they make is ifcis : —They fcrmed part of the crt-w of the Jane London , of Miramachi , and were returning home frcm Liverpool ( which place they left Autust 25 ) , when in the Gulf of St . Lawrence , lat . 45 , 30 N ., longitude 38 $ W ., they neared the Watt , laden with timber , and hailed her . The crew said she had nine feet of water in the hold , and that they were about to abandon hex , and this they did the next day . Abont two hours afterwards these men from the Jane London took possession of her , and for nearly six weeks have beep in much difficulty and distress ; In want of provisions , and worn-out , snd fearing lest they should all perish in the storm , they resolved to run her on shore at Eastbourne . Considerable suspicion wrs raised aa to the truth of

      their repon , but the general op inion is now that it is correct . They say it was their intention to take her to the first port they reached , four or five boat ? are bcsily empbjed from morning to night in bringing her cargo , some Tery fine timber , on Bhore . As a stranger , I cannot but admire the judgment , zsaJ , and integrity which all persons in any manner brought into contact with this accident have shown throughout . Since writing the above , I have had an opportunity of examining more closely into this extraordinary case , and feel little or no doubt that their story is quite true . They had no bo 3 t , and though they had an anchor , they had not strength enongh to use it . They had no chart of the Channel , and when they first saw land , it was tho Isle o ! Wight ,- which they mistook for Bcachy-head , and whea they came to lit achy-head they considered i ; to be tbe South Foreland .

      ^ Africa . —Intelligence has been received from nv extern Africa- to the second August . . It annotino s trio return to Fernanda Po of the Queen ' s streamer . VVilberforc ^ froni the ascent of the Ni ^ r to the model-farm of the African Civilization Society , and the bringing * away of all tho people and properly loft by the Niger expedition . The Wiiberforce ascended under command of Lieutenant Webb , with eight or tea Europeans , who volunteered from Fernando Po ; the rest of the ship ' s company being native Africans . With the exception of the commander , and one of the

      volunteers , all the Whites were laid up withsicknesa before the Wilberforce reached the coast ; and latterly the engine had been worked by a Black boy , who had learnt its management on board Mr . Jamieson ' d steamer Ethiopa ; the engineers being sick with the rest . "Sacha wreck of property" says a private letter from Liverpool , aa was landing at Clarence Cove never was seen . " The natives had not molested the people at the model-farm ; bat air . Car , who attempted to ascend from the coast in a canoe , had , it is supposed , been murdered iu the Nun river .

      Fatal Accident . —On the mornteg of Thursday last , a most melancholy and fatal accident occurred at Barr Mill , in the parish of Beith . A boy named Noble Prentice , about thirteen years of age , had mounted a ladder to put a bell upon a wheel , though this was no part of his duty , and boys had been strictly prohibited by the proprietor fram doiu £ so . In an instant he was seized by the machinery , and his body mangled in a mo 3 C shocking manner . His arm 3 wore torn from the trnnk , and his head completely severed from his body . As no eye was

      upon him when the accident happened , it is not known how it originated . The breaking of the bell and ( ha crash of the body were the first intimations of the melancholy event to those who were in the room . Tho wheel revolves about thrice in a second , and conseqaently his death must have been instantaneous . His widowed mother was at tho time working in another room , and her agony at the sight , and while assisting in collecting tke bleeding and quivering members of the body of her son , may easily be imagined . The remains were committed to the grave the same evening . —Ayr Observer .

      The Late Mr . Bibby op Liverpool . —Investig ation at Kirkdale . —Shortly after twelve o ' clock on Friday , Henry Simpson and William Radci-ffe were brought up in custody at Kirkdale Court-house , on a oharge of having been concerned in the marder of the late Mr . Bibby , who , it will be r- collected , was found dead in a pit near Bootle , on the morning of the 18 th of July , 1840 , under oiroamstances of a mysterious character , and which gave rise to a suspicion that he had been unfairly dealt with . Simpson , who is a yonng man of respectful demeanour , was the individual who drove the unfortunate gentlemen from rhe Royal Bank in that town to Bootle on the night oF tho faral occurrence , and Radcliffe had been a policeman on duty on that night in the vicinity of the scene . After a lone ; and patient investigation into all the circumstances of the case , the magistraffs came to the decision that there did not appear sufficient evidence to justify them in committing the prisoners , who were forthwith discharged .

      Frightful Explosion . —Between three and four o ' clock on Wednesday afternoon last the inhabitauts of West Collingwood were thrown into great consternation by a loud explosion . It was qnickly ascertained that the explosion had occurred at the residence of a man named Pinner , a manufacturer of fireworks , aud the first object that presented itself to the oersons who ran to tho spot was the lifeless body of Pinner , lying amidst a quantity of bricks , shattered pieoes of of wood , &c , whilst the entire of the upper stdry of the house was completely carrried away . The body of an old man , an assistant to Pinner , was likewise found shockingly disfigured lying at tho back of the premises . No signs of life wero perceivable in Pinner or the old man . On proceeding up the stairs of the house , the lower part , extending

      to the floor of the second story , which was left standing uninjured , it was discovered that every vestige of the roof , walb , and tho various articles which had been in the upper room , had entirely desappeared . Jambed against the lower part of the wall of tho first story , and near tho top of the stairs , was the body of a lau . ayed fourteen , with the features dreadfully disfigured and the body bbekened and mutilated . From the statement of an elderly woman who was engaged by Pinner to superintend his domestic affairs , it appears that a large quastity of gunpowder had lately been placed in the upper room for the purpose of making fireworks for the fifth of November , but iu what manner the explosion was caused remaius a mysstery . Several windows in the neighbouring houses were smashed in , and a number of chimneypots thrown down by the explosion .

      Miraculous Escape . —A mo 3 t alarming accident occurred a few evenings ago oa tho Brandling Junction Railway—a whole passenger train having be 6 n thrown off the line , and the carriages tumbled topsyturvy over an embankment eight or nine feet high , and yet the passengers , of whom there were between forty and fifty , escaped without having sustained tho slightest injury . The particulars of this occurrence are briefly the 3 & : —The seven o ' clock train from Ssoderiand to Newcastle started as U 5 us ] , and peoceeaed to near where the railway orosses Cleadonlane , where the eng'neer felt somo slight interruption and immediately turned off the steam . The train was then mimiin at the rate of about fifteen miles an

      hour . The sensation was but momentary , but the directioa of the engine wa 3 suddenly changed , it having left the line , and wa 8 approaching diagonally the edge of a feariui precipice , formed by the embankment of the railway , about eight or nine feet in hei g ht . The engineer and his assistant maintained their positions on the engine with the greatest composure , which in the end proved most . fortunate , for had they leaped oS they would , in all probability , have lost their lives . On the engine went , followed by its tender , over the embankment , through a quickset hedge at the bottom , into the adjoining field , and was finally brought to a stand-still several yards from the railway . The engine maintained its erect position the whole time , and sustained no injury ,

      with , the exception of the pipe 'which carries the watf-r from ihe tender to the boiler , and which was broken asunder . The engine-man instantly opeiiod the safety-valve , to allow thee-cspeof tho steam , ami then descended from his perilous position . In the meantime , the most heartrending cries were heard from the carriages , which were thrown together in a state of indescribable confusion . There were five carriages , two of them being first-class and three second-cla ? . ? , attacr . od to tho engine . Fortunatly , the connecting rod between the tender and the first carriage broke , end thus separated the cngiae from the train . The first carriage remained upon the line ; the next , being di ?? r , v / red from its companions , was thrown over the embankment ; tbe n : xt , a first-class carriage , was crushed sgainst the following one , and all the others w » -re partially overturned , some ot

      them having been thrown over the embankment , against which th = y rested obliqely at the bottom . The scene at this moment was horryfying in the extreme . Some of the p-issengers were escaping by the windows which were uppermost : others crept below ; men , women , and children were seen scrambling over , round , and bmeath the vehicles , anxious to secure their own safety . On proceeding a few yards down the line , the caase of the accident was soon discerned . There lay the mutilated remains of a horse , which had evidently strayed upon the line from one of the adjoining nelds . It was cut completely in pieces . Intelligence of the catastrophe was soon conveyed to the next nation , and ulso to Suncer ! and , ana a > si ~ tance was instamly despatched . Happily , medical aid wa 3 not required . The engine ana carriages did no injury to the way , and the eight o ' clock train traversed it as though nothing had

      occurred . A . Delicate atfair in High Life . —A noble Prince lias Ions been attached to rho e'liett daughter of 3 k Noble Duke , whose family , on one side , c . 'jiims certain consanguinity witli that of the Sovereign . The result of the mutual passion existing on the part of rhe Prince and the lady , renders an atonement by marriage now absolutely necessary . The lady is in a way to becmc aniothrr , and , in the short space of three months , will enjoy the blessings , or feel the pant . s , of maternity . Her Ladyship ' s situation is , of course , now unable to be any longer concealed ; and her father has cornmu'iicatc-d with the Prince's father npon the subject . His Royal Highness immediutaly assented to the necessity of an union

      between his sen and the Noble Lady ; and the Prince himself is anxious to mako the reparation which lies in his power . But , according to the terms of the Royal Marriage Act , which was passed in the tioif of George III , no member of tho Royal Family can espouse any one without the previously-obtained consent of i " h Sovereign . Were the Prince and tho Lady in question to be united wihout such consent , the marriage would be illegal , and the offspring thereof illi-ghimate . The Queen has , therefore , been applied to , in the present emergency ; and Her Majesty has , we learn , refused her sanction to the union ; and all attempts to induce her to alter her decision are vain . Her Majesty ' s consent is not alone sufficient ; tbat of the Privy Council must

      also be obtained , after a year's notice formally given . Her Majesty ( or her Privy Council ) argues thus : — " It is possible my children may die ; then comes the King of Hanover , who is very old ; after him , Prince George of Hanorer , who is very sickly ; next the Duke of Sussex ; and then the Duke of Cambridge . Now , if all these events were to happen , the Prince alluded to would stand an excellent chance of assuming the sceptre also . In thiB caso , a subject becomes the Queen of England , should the Prince at present eBpouse the lady , and such a contingency , however remote and improbable it may

      appear , muBt not be allowed to exist . " So , we hew , reasons the Queec ; and we should suppose her decuion is also backed by tho advice of at least some ot her Ministers and advisers ; we say " some , " because we can state , upon authority , that the Duke of Wellington is in favour of the union . Surely this young Prince , who is so ready to make ato&tment tor the injury he has inflicted upon ft too confiding girl , should bo allowed the full and free ext-rcise of his most honourable and praiseworthy sentiments and intentions , and abandon his right to the succetiioi ; . He m ; ght even do this by professing to be a Roman Catholic ' .

      Dreadful Death . —On Sunday morning a Mrs . Shearman , residing at High-street , Lambeth left home for the purpose of seeing her husband , who is an inmate of Guy ' s Hospital , having met with an aorident ten days ago , locking in her four children , a 4 ed fiftem , five , and four years , and an infant fourteen months old , and a neighbour's child aged three years . On her return home at half-past ten o ' clock she found the infant and one of her sisters Bitting before the fire , tho former much burnt about the head , and the other child informed her mother that Sarah ( tho eldest child ) wus dead , and lying np ia

      tho garret , and on the poor creature going up stairs she was horror-struck at finding the remains of the poor girl burnt to a cinder , lying on a bundle of rags . Search was made for the other two children , who -were found unhurt in an out-bouse in the garden . From the statement of the second child it appears that the deceased was in the act of putting a saucepan on the fire , when her clothes caught fire , and in au instant she was in an entire blaza . That she made for the garret stairs , where she sat until the whole of her clothes were burnt off , and then crawled to the bed , on which she was found as above described .

      Cuhious Coincidence . —Law 1—A proof of tho 11 glorious uncertainty of the law" was shown at the last quarter ' sess i ons for the county of Dorset . Two men were indicted jointly for a felony ; upon being called u' > to plead guilty or not guilty , one of them pleaded " guilty , " and she other " not guilty . " At that moment an attorney stepped up to tho pri soner who pleaded guilty , and told him he was employed to defend him ; the prisoner then withdrew his plea of guilty , and pleaded not guilty . The trial proceeded , and at the oloso the jury acquitted the one who had at first pltaded guilty , and convioted ti > e other who had pleaded not guilty . —Sherborne Journal .

      Mutiny in Newcastle Gaol- —It appears that above thirty soldiers of ihe 61 st Regiment , who are prisoners iu Newcastle Gaol , having been oouvicted by court martial for various military offences , and sentenced to different periods of imprisonment , broke out into opeu mutinykwd refused to work , alleging that the food was so bad that they were hungering . Several of the magistrates went to the gaol for ihe purpose of investigating the circumstances , the result of which will , no doubt , bo satisfactory . — Newcastle Journal .

      Ai thb late Rumford Quarter Sessions , the magistrate had occasion to desire a policeman to fetch into tho court "two Ik . drafs .

A Liberal Nobleman . —Cashiobury House , with its parks and gardens , has been open to the public every Monday and Thursday throughout the year for many years past . Tbe hours of admission to the house and gardens arc from eleven to one in

      the morning , and from two to five in tho afternoon-Admittance to the park is free at all times . These regulations were established by the lato Earl of Essex , who was delighted that the public should thus share in the enjoyment of ( his estate and possessions . Wo have heard that ho even lent his plate to the pic-nio parties who frequented the Swibs Cottage in the i grounds , until some one repaid his generosity by dishonesty . Still the public are allowed to use this cottage for the same purpose : many picnic parties consequently come off here , and ? ans filled with visitors from the metropolis come to Cashiobury . —Athanwum .

      Fatal Shipwreck -It is onr painful duty to record the total loss of the schooner Friends , of Carlisle , with all hands on b&ard . The Friends sailed from Port , Carlisle for Liverpool on Friday , the 2 lat inst ., ladr-n with alabastrr , with a crew of four hands . There was a stiff brrrz ^ blowing at the time from N . N . E . Towards midnight the wind veered round to the westward , blowing a complete hurricane , and in endeavouring to return up the Solway Firth tho ill-fated vessel struck upon Robin Rigg , and in a short timo became a total wreck . The master of the vessel , Captain Baxter , was Lighiy esteemed among a wide circle of friends and acquaintances on both hides of ihe border , and the sympathy expressed on the loss of so good a mm ie well worthy the occasion . A poriiou of the bulwarks and the forrmnst have lieru washed aslioro at Allanby , but no trace of the hull of the vessel has yet been observable . —Carlisle Journal .

      Dreadful Collision at Sea . —A letter from Capt .

The ship was going about ten knots at the time , and the darkness bo great that I could not see tho brig at the instant of striking , though I had been looking to leeward but an instant before , and was then standing by tho main rigging , and all the watch at stations . , to clue down the fore and main topsails , if necessary . I had already clewed down the mizen topsiil , thn squali being very violent from W . by S .,

Poor fellows ! they mu ^ t have sunk , as they wero seen very near about twenty minutes after , and at daylight uothing couid be seen , though we lay by , and it became nearly calm soon after losing eight of the brig .

Singular Act of Sklf-Mutilation . —A most extraordinary and detertained act was committed in Worcester gaol oa Wednesday , by a man named Jamea Finoher , who had been apprehended as a deserter , asd lodged in the prison to await the determination of bis caso . While so confined ho

      contrived to possess himself of a piece of iron-hoop , which he had notched so 33 to make it answer roughly the purposes of a saw , and with this rude instrument he succeeded in sawing ; off the thumb of his right band , between the nail and the fir .-t joint , the separation of skin , flesh , and bone being effected in the most complete manner . His obj . ct is easily accounted for—viz ., the disabling of himself for future service . He deserted from the Grenadier Guards twelve or thirteen years since , and was apprehended a few days ago .

      The Arabian Nights Rlvived—Tho H « ro of Caen tells , in all gravity , tke following outrageously absurd story : — " One of the most celebrated shots of Caen having for several days beat the country rouad without putting up any game , thought he would try by the sea-side , in the neighbourhood of Ouivirehana . As he was crossing the river Orne in a sma . ll boat , he saw two birds flying towards him , and , with his usual promptitude and certainty of aim , fired his gun , and one bird dropped into the river . While the sportsman was direc . ing tho boat towards it , the other bird alighted close to its dead companion , and , would have soon suffered the same fate , had it not

      risen again , and come and alighted upon the gunner ' s shoulders , and suffered itself to be taken by the hand . This was sufficiently surprising ; but how much greater waB his astonishment when he found them to be a pair of doves , each having a ring round its nack , set with diamonds , and having engraved on it , 'Ale . Vic . and Al . 1840 , ' and a heart pierced with two darts . Whence cumo tins pair 1 Can the letters mean anything else than Alexandrina Victoria and Albert , and did aofc the birds belong to the Qioenof England ! Time may tell , but this is our opinion , whioh is confirmed by the value of the diamonds , for which a jeweller at Caen has- it is said , offered £ 12 , 000 .

      LETTER II . "It ia a scandal for a true Briton to drag two chains at once . "—Swift . Dear Rafter , —It has been the policy of our rulers , Whigs or Tories , to endeavoar to make us believe that we can bkip about best in a light pair of fetters ! aud for th : s purpose the faction out of power have never failed to impress us with the belref that theirs is always the lightest ; but why the people should wear thtm at alt is a question which both agree they should

      never even discuss In this assumption of the Whigs and Tories of onrae there is not a particle of honesty , justice , or common sense ; but with their assumption there is what is much worse than mere assumptionpower l ralnd , despotic power ia their only argument ! ! stroDg walls uad cold irons their proofs , in which their unhappy victims are compelled to drag out a silent , unwilling , dying acqniesctnee ; and yet , O God of Justice , there are uieu laying claim , almost to the Divine beatitudes , ^ ho can calmly sit empurpled on the judgment seat , mid laud and order compliance to this blood-sucking system .

      I told you , in my last , I believed tha object of the ruling faction was to se ? E 3 en all the leaders of the Chartist movement . Alas ! since then , the sound of unjust judgmont has been held over miny a good man ' a hea <\; and the police have actually been premature ; in doffing their white trousers this season , their masters knowing ( I presume ) tbey had so much dirty worfe te do . The Whigs no doubt are glad of all this , ana silently rejoice nt the arrests —but shall we like them the mere for their base joy ? Of them we know that they set the example U tbe Tories ,- and

      that the lat t « r are doing no more than they have done . I hate the Whigs the more for their rascally silence ; and I believe they are doing , at this moment , more iujury to the causa by intrigue than ever tho Tories would stoop to do . The policy cf the Whigs has ever beeu marfeed by duplicity , low cunning , false-premising , and petty devices ; inconstant in their every move , grovelling , and mean in seeking for power . The English Whigs would hang tbe Irish people to obtain pswer ; and ths Irish Whigs would shoot the English people to keep it

      1 hate a Tory ! the very name is a firebrand , by the faUe light of which I can look back through the long night of my country's dark gloom , and behold the spirits of her " happier dead " ttjoiciug over the expiring embers of pitch , caps ; md fuggots ! but « . Whig ! a treacherous Whig I the EDglish language does not convey to rue another word so loathing . If I were asked to give name to an object with bod 1 of the cameUon , head of the serpent , hind feet of tho ox , wilh eyes of the baeilusk , displujing th 6 treacherous smile o ? the coqufctte , and having all the cunning of tho fos , i would exclaim that loathsome object is like nothing ou earth but a Whig ! Call it 1 Whig ? It would not be difficult to trace ia the Srat founders of society , the lineaments of our modern

      Whigs . Mao clings with tenacious adhasion to any object or Bjsteia which he concaivss will assist in protecting him from the attacks of a stronger power than himself . A single illustration from Holy Writ wiil sufficiently show this . Wa ace Adam , in bis denuded state , shield himself with the trees from the fcca of Almighty God ; in like manner have the early tribes of his children thrown themselves under wh : it they conceived to be tbe protecting shades of civil Governments , which by uegreys became more insolent , wore oppressive , more tyrannic , aad more greater evils tuan those which lh '; y wore formed to correct , till finally , by innumerable encroachments on the popple's liberties , they , too , like the archdemons of Lueifer in the realms of the Most High

      conceived the daring project of dethroning the power that brought them into existence ! These , I think , you will readily adtnit , were the Whi ^ s of earl y growth , and little did they differ froul the crop that h 3 S been recantly cut . If tha Whigs wore sincere ii . their professions to ameliorate the condition of the people , why do they not give the people the chance to exclaim—* Well , bad a 9 the men were ^ when iu power , they do not ; attempt to sting novv chat they are powerless . They sympathise with the persecuted , and tuey aid us against the porsecutor ; they hold public meetings ) and thi-y raise subscriptions for the defence of the victims of their own avowed principles . " Did they do this , then might their professions of patriot ; am go haud in hand with thuir acts of philanthropy—then might thoy

      go ft great length in disatminiz those who sbow up their lascality . But no ! the hypocritical fellows ! they would tirst imprison and transport all the good and true , buy over ah tho shams , and then , '¦ with sleek iaotis , led on by some broad-brimmad fkiend , ( whom they would manage to make tb 9 ir dupe , ) come aino . get the people , like the Pharisees of , old , declaring that they knew the laws better than othsra ! and , of c ^ urae , were more ftt to become their leaders , astbey knaw wbat would answer them better than they knew themselves J These wiso legislators then having got fairly before the puopio , by first adopting all thbir Six Points , would commence u tiiado against the plans of the old leaders . and by piecmeal would break up the present organisation : tho confidence of the people thus paitial ' y
