LESSORS ON WORDS AND OBJECTS OR A FIRST PEEP FOR CHILDREN . Arranged for the purpose of Object Teaching . For the use of Private Families or Schools . By John Ellis . Leeds : Hob 3 On . Manchester : Heyvrood . London : J . Cleave . 1841 . We have seldom met with a book m ire calculated to convey useful knowledge in ihe early stages of ihe developments of the mind , than the unpretending liiUe-workbefore us . It is , indeed , mullum in parro ; and cauiiot fail , wfeen more generally known , to become extensively employed in the business of tuition .
It commences wuh the letters of the alphabet , each of which it describes as to its peculiar form , thus at once teaching the signs by which ideas are expressed , and placing before the child many of the forms which m&iter may be made to assume . This i 3 followed by lessons on numerals , arranged in such a manner as to grre the learner a correct notion of the relariTe ralne of each as compared with another , and lessons of easy sentences , by which the first thoughts of infancy may be expressed . Then follow lessons on Tarious subjects . includiDg metals , liquids , aud spices , which may be made u » e of for the
double purpose of improvement in learning to read , and as exercises for the meutal faculties , though ihe latter seems to be their legitimate use ; the teacher asking questions from the lessons , and placing the Tarious objects referred to before the pupil , encouraging htm to inspect them , and to ask freely questions concerning their nature and qualities ; the instructor , at the same time , giving him every encouragement to express Ms own ideas concerning each object freelj , and without rmt ^ Q . Three writing lessons aresubjoined , which tend materially toincrease ihe utility of the work .
We hope all parents will avail themselyes of this admirable aid to the labours of education .
A NARRATIVE OF THE EXPERIENCE AND SUFFERINGS OF WILLIAM DODD , A FACTORY CRIPPLE , wntten by himself , giving an account of the hardships aud sufferings he endured in early life , &c , &c . Second edition . London : L . and G . Shelly , 16 " 9 , Fleet-street ; and Haiehard and Sod , 187 , Piccadilly , 1841 . ( Second notice . ) We make no apology for calling the attention of onr readers a second time to this afflicting and heartrendiag narrative of ; he hellish factory system . Its statements cannot be too extensively known , and we trusi all who have the power will willingly aid in giving it a wide and extensive circulation through the country . Tnis edition is much enlarged , and contain ? sl&lemenis which eaa ^ t-s as to W ash for oar degenerate country . Dodd's book teems with the
most important matter , and is of the most thrilling interest . Who can read the simple but affecting detail of his efforts to obtain instruction , and not feel that such an intellect was not designed to be cramped in the hell-holes to which from early childhood its possessor was the doomed victim . All , howerer , in this black book is not of unpleasing character ; we look upon the aid offered him by employers in his endeavour to improve himself as a bright spot on the dark picture , and the treatment he received from the society of Odd Fellows is so creditable to that extensive body of working men , that we cannot withhold it from tho notice of the public . The noble spirit of humanity which opened this lodge and their hearts to the poor factory cripple , is beyond any praise which is in our power to offer . Of this fraternity William Dodd thus writes : —
" Thinking I might stand in need of assistance at some future period of my life , as 1 had all along been obliged to prop myself up , and was evidently working above ray strength , I joined the Society of Odd Fellows , which a the best of this description tbat I am acquainted with ; but it is not without its faults . In this Society I was soon put into office ; and , baring an active aid persevering mind , I put myself forward , and -was elected as the Secretary of the Lodge to which I belonged . On that occasion , I well remember , I bad to address , for the first time in my life , a large body of men . I felt rsther timid ; but having practiced in my room for a full hour , I delivered my maiden speech , -which still remains fixed on my memory , as follOTTS :
•• Mr . Chairman and fienUenun , —I now stand before you as a candidate for tb « important office » f Secretary—an office which , I am well nware , requires not only talent and abilities , bat also great care and attention—( hear , hear . i—and although I can tay nothing in' fa-ronr of my bumble abilities , having received no other education than what I have been able to scrape together after my day ' s work was done , still I trust that the interest I feel for the good and -welfare of this Society , will stimulate me to use every t-xenlon in my power in the discharge of the several duties of this office , should I be thought worthy o . ' holding it- As I am convinced that you will act in this , as in all other matters , solely for the good i > f the Society , so 1 can assure you , that I ahal ] be satisfied with your decision , whether it be for or against
me . " There were five candidates for the &ffice ; and this was the stale of the poll , as taken from the minutebook : — William Dodd ... 64 W . S 4 J . D 4 J . B 4 J . M 4 SO " Tfaa other candidates thought I should haTe the lead , but each expressed a wish to be second . The
result groved they were all second . These four members were trade 5 mec * s sods , who had received a good education—I , a factory cripple , who had neTer cost my parents a shilling for my learning . I was elected a second time to this office , aud had , in twelve months , about £ S 00 . o ! the Society ' s money through my fingers . I thtn received a vote of thanks , and was elected to a higher office . In the year 1835 , 1 was elected to represent the district , a body of seven hundred men , in the « inpT 7 ^ 1 meeting of the Society held that year at Darby ; and in" 1536 I was again thought worthy of a seat in that important meeting held in London . "
We have already exceeded our limits , bnt the following affords such a striking proof of the immorality engendered by the accursed system , that knowing that our paper circulates widely in many parts of the conntry where the details of factory life are almost unknown , we subjoin it , and with it close our notice of this interesting pamphlet . " "W hile I -was in the public line In London , I had U deal with all sorts of people , from the lowest to the highest 1 heard a > l sorts of coarse brutal expressions ; but in all that time , I never heard anything more Tnlg » r , brutal , or wicked , than I was accustomed to
hear from the roaster-manufacturers , on my younger days—from men too who had received a liberal education , and who were called to nil the highest offices in the town , and who , from their superior station in life , ought to have set an example worthy of imitating . The men eagerly followed the example set them by the masters , and cursing , swearing , and low language , beeame the order of the day . Respecting the moral conduct of ihe young , I can say but little ; any one may think for himself what will be the result ot one hundred young people , of both sexes , working together under such circumstances , going together in the morning , nwjMfog with each ether through the day , and

returning again In the eTening , with no moral restraint upon their action , no pattern shewn them -worthy of imitating ; and where acts of gross indecency , low , vulgar , brutal language , singing immoral songs , swear * ing , fee ., are not only tolerated , but , in many instances , actually countenanced and encouraged . A person brought up from infancy to maturity in such a school , and who can then retire with clean hands , or a clear cou&cience , must possess something more in his composition than human nature can boast of—most be such an one as I never yet met with , such an one as I am sure does not exist . * * The Bcanea whfca I haTe witnessed , and ft is with sorrow I say haTe in seme instances been participator in , are of such a nature , as to be improper to lay before the public eye .
A MANUAL OF POLITICS . By William Thoxasox , Alexandria , Vale of Levea . Glasgow W . and W . Miller , 90 , Bell-street . 1841 . This is a sensible little book , containing plain truths for plain men . In the first chapter , " On human rights , " there is some clear and forcible reasoning , couched in language which cannot be misunderstood . The rights of man , both natural and acquired , are placed in a clear and convincing point of view . Chapters 2 and 3 treat of the various
points of the Charter , and set forth the just claims of tho people , well sustained by a reference to ancient use and practice . The last chapter is on miscellaneous matters , introducing the Church , the national expenditure , education , and religion , all of which are handled in a clear aud convincing manner . The work , though small , is calculated to do much good . Wo extract the remarks as to the means of getting the Charter , and also those on the use to be made of power when obtained by the people . On ihe former subject the writer
says" Your claims appear to be quite just ; how do you intend lo carry them out ? First , we intend in the first instance to disclaim anything like violence , and peacefully , legally , yet resolutely , to urge our request upon the Legislature . We are endeavouring to spread among our own order useful knowledge , and to give to the rising race an education which will acquaint them with their rights and duties as citizens . Aware tbat habits of intemperance have done much towards our national debasement , we are labouring to cultivate habits of sebriety . Convinced that a people can only command resptct by becoming virtuous and intelligent , we are trying to circulate information by Beading Rooms and Debating Societies , and making every class of the
community acquainted with our real objects . We intend to establish , a system of missionary operations , and employ men of accredited worth and abilities to spread information . By avoiding violence , spreading knowledge , and securing the assistance and co-operation ot the virtuous and humane bf every class , public prejudice will be beat down ; the unmeaning calumnies circulated against us rebutted ; our cause advancing , as every canao should do based on truth and justice ; the operative and artisan -will be admitted into the constituency ; the spirit of a prostrate nation will come out in all its naliv » greatness ; and ire shall become the possessors of those immunities which are our right , and fiaU ourselves investe-1 with all the attributes of free and unrestricted citizenship . "
In reference to the use to be made of the power which the people are now Beeking to obtaiu , he says" Ton have said nmch about ] the evils to be redressed ; ¦ will you just state the change you contemplate when you get the Charter ? One of the first would be to upset the law of primogeniture ; that law which makes the eldest son the inheritor of the father ' s estates and titles , and then sends the rest of the family upon the country , as parsons , judgw , lawyers , adminta , and military officers . Another would be to aboluh the bread tax , and permit free aud unrestricted intercourse with other nations—a Parliament representing the entire mass of the nation would have an equitable adjustment of the National Debt—a Government
procetxiing on principles economy would not keep a standing army in time of profound peace ; and hence , ihe services of soldiers and police would bo put , iuto requisition as little as possible . In order that every man might be free and unfettered in matters of faito ., a full and entire separation of Church and State would take place . And , in order that our people might be intelligent , a good system ef national education would be instituted , a fair field and no favour would be opened to each member of the commonwealth ; an extravagant civil list would be cut down , and no pensions granted but for real services . All those unmeaning usages which stand between a working man and his i « oslitutional liberties , in the shape of revising barristers , would be done away . Sor would a Parliament , representing the entire mass , be less attentive to the honour
of the state abroad—its whole energies would be employed to maintain an honourable intetcourse with other states ; and colonies , instead of being as at present , kept for no other purposes than to find livelihoods for tbe members of wealthy families , would contribute to the general advancement of the country . Seicnc 3 would advance—improvements in arts and manufactures Would be patronised—and the entire people living in the possession of equal political rights , wuuid assume a higher position in morals and religion —misery and crime would almost entirely cease , because their sources would bo nearly dried up , and the people of this cuunwy live in the peaceable enjoyment of tho * e rights , to the possession of which , existence , reason , and intelligence , give them an indubitable claim .

STROT 7 D . —The second anniversary of the society of Rechabites , was held at Spring Cottage , o ' Sx Tuesday , August 3 d . Nothing could exceed ihe pleasure manifested on the occasion . Many patriotic toasts were proposed by tho Chairman , and responded to by the member ? . The free prcsa was given with three times three , and responded to by an unflinching democrat . The Xorthcrn Slur , Vindicator , Chartist Circular , and New Moral World were highly app l auded as guides to the lovers ot freedom . Since the establishment of this 6 ociety , a library has been procured . Tail's Magazine , tho Sorlhern Star , and the Cheltenham Examiner , together with a number of periodicals , are taken in by the members . The meeting nights are every alternate Wednesday , at the Victoria Coffee-house , Russell-street , aud we rejoice to say the society is , in everv respect , going on ' prosperously .
YEOvIL . —The Manchester Convocation OF MiMSTEBS . —The Un . itaria . n 3 of this town held a meeting in their place of worship , convened by public placard , on Thursday evening last , to consider the propriety of deputing the Kev . H . Solly to attend the contemplated Conference of Ministers at Manchester . After an appropriate prayer by the Rev . H . Solly , and the object of the meeting stated , M . Lamb , Esq ., was called to tho chair . Resolutions were then passed , approving of the intended Conference , and deputing the Rev . H . Solly to attend on behalf of the congregation . Mr . Biinbridge having previously inquired whether Mr . Solly would , in the event of his being appointed to go to Manchester , repre 8 ent the views of that meeting
to the Conference , said be did not wish to pledge Mr . Solly to any particular line of ' o £ > nduct , othtrwise than to state what was tho opinion of that meeting as to the causes of the present prevailing distress . Lei him urge his own opinions , or vote as he thought proper , still he thought the voice of the people ought to be heard and attended to . —Mr . Solly fully agreed in what Mr . Bainbridge had said , and in reply to the question put , said that although he would not go pledged to advocate any party views or class interests , yet he would go pledged to do justico to all parties . He would go in God's name and Christ's spirit . Mr . Bainbridge then rose and moved— " That it ia the opinion of this meeting that the Corn Laws are unjust and oppressive ; but tbat the real cause of the
present distress is the monopoly of legislation , by which the few have the power of making laws for their own interests , to the great injustice of the many ; we therefore hope , that the Conference ^ of Ministers at Manchester will direct their attention to this great evil , and will endeavour to obtain for every man of mature ago and sound mind a voice in the making of the laws by which he has to be governed , which is the only real security against the evite of class legislation . The resolution was seconded by Mr . Stevens and supported by Mr . Woodward , in a few appropriate remarks , and carried unanimously . The Rev . H . Solly rose aud said , that he cheerfully undertook the task assigned to him , and would mosi gladly represent their views
at the Conference . The position which he now ocenpied was one that afforded him the deepest satisfaction , for he had long sorrowed over the miseries of the country , but felt utterly powerless for their removal . Here , at length , was an opportunity given to all ministers of the Gospel to lift up their Toiee with some chance of its piercing even the ears of those classes who had it in their power , but had so long delayed to do justico to all . He was exceedingly gratified that he was sent by the Unitarian body ; and he hoped that other Unitarian congregations were engaged in the same truly Christian object . They had long been denied the name of Christians , but they now had ttie opportunity of meeting with other denominations on the broad ground of Christian brotherhood . He had
been present last night at a very interesting meeting , where there was much rejoicing over Sabbath school instruction , but he ( Mr . S . ) could Hot rejoice for his thoughts wandered to the misery , wretchedness and sin which covered the land . The cause of Christ will never advance while ministers aro content with the little good that c&n be done by teaching creeds and theological instructions to those just around them ; something more ia necessary , they must lift up their voice against the present iniquitous system , and see that justice be done to all . There were three great points he would urge upon the conference , as far as his humble abilities would permit . \ si . The alleviations of physical wretchedness . 2 nd . The education of all . 3 rd . The removal of uDJust authority usurped by the higher classes over vha Lower . Mr . Solly then proceeded to show

Horrible Occurrence . —The Parisian Messager publishes in a recent number , the following frightful details from a correspondent at Florence : ~ " Prince Corsmi , o » this city , had a ue « ro in his servioe , prot 8 L 8 in £ j ^ homed an religion , who was muoh attached to Maria Nunciata Goldoni , a fervent Latnono . The negro had saved some money , aud the young woman ' s parents agreed to give him their daughter Jn marria / fe . His reU ^ on waa the only obstacle—all efforts to convert him bavin * failed . On a late occasion Maria ' s father invited the negro todiuuer . He tasted a plate of rice , but wh « n his betrothed offered him wine , he repelled it with disdain , when she observed " You are no longer a Mahomedan , you have eaten oork " These words
renaerea the negro furious ; he seized a knife and plunged it into the young person ' s heart . The parents rushed to their daughter's assistance ; the negro killed the father with one blow , and then attacked the mother . The son exclaimed for assistance , but before any was procured , the mother and son were laid lifeless on the ground . At length two carabineers arrived , when the negro seized a musket aud killed one of them , but his comrade in return shot the negro dead ; and when the officers of justice arrived , there remained only to have the dead bodies of the sufferers interred . America . —By the packet ship North America , which arrived on Sunday at Liverpool in nineteen days from New York , wo have received the DaDers
of that city to the 20 th , ult .. three days Jater than the last arrivals . The Caledonia steamer had arrived at Bo 3 ton , after a very favourable passage of thirteen days ; and the news brought by her from England occupies a prominent place in the American journals . There is very little political news in these papers of any moment . The general opinion in New York aud Washington was that M'Leod would be acquitted . Matters are going on pretty favourably in Canada . A committee has been appointed in the HouBei"of Assembly to-equalise ihe currency . The committee which had been named to decide upon the subject of reporting the debates , handed ia a report in favour of the Assembly subscribing for five hundred copies of the Mirror of Parliament . The Government plan of banking aud ourrency is nearly matured . A number of citizens of Quebec , mostly
of Freuch origin , have put m circulation a petition to the Provincial Legislature , praying the House to intercede with the Queen for a full pardon to all persons implicated in tho " troubles" of 1837-38 . The Synod of the Presbyterian Church in Canada , commenced its annual session at Kingston on the 12 th instant , when nearly forty Ministers and about fifteen ruling elders took their seats . A good deal of business was transacted in relation to Missionary labour , and an address voted , congratulating his Excellency on the completion of tho Union of the Provinces , and on his recovery from indisposition . The Synod also adopted the petition to the Legislature , praying that provision be made for the use of the bible in all schools of the province receiving any grant of public money . Tho 43 d regiment has arrived at Toronto . Both Provinces are unusually healthy . The Governor-General has quite recovered .
Washington , —Our very latest accounts from Washington speak very discouragingly of the passage of a Bank Charter at tho extra session ; and some go so far as to say that nothing will be done of any importance , except the new loan of 12 , 000 , 000 dollars . It is said the President is against all actiou on a bank , tariff , bankrupt law , and division of the public lands , until the meeting of the regular session in December next . He will then be prepared to frame a general system of legislation in tho finances , currency , public lands , and imports , all together , consistent with righta , principles , aud public policy . Suck is the opinion on those points . On the W Lood case , it is undei stood that no difficulty will occur .
Philadelphia Morality and Justice . The Grand Jury of Philadelphia have found several iudictments against the Times , and two other penny papers , for libels—that is , for telling too much unwelcome truth . In this same city , Lsvis , who forged and defrauded to the extent of nearly 1 , 300 , 000 dollar ? , vras allowed to run away—to come backand to tun away again , without any molestation from a Grand Jury . In the same city , the Directors of a bank robbed the widow , orphan , aud other stockholders of Europe and America , out of nearly 35 , 000 , 000 dollars , their all—and they are looked up to as respectable citizens , beyond the reach of a Grand Jury . In the same oity , police officers are proved in open Court to be confederates of burglars , and they are untouched by a Grand Jury . In the same city , forgers and murderers are tried , and get off . All this ia the justice and morality of Philadelphia .
The Penitentiary and the Model Prison at Hulloway . —Thanks to the exposures of the pres ? , and the quiet but effective operation of public feeling thereb y elicited , the chilling tortures of the solitary and silent system of discipline , introduced some years sinco to our English inquisitorial prison at Millbank , called in mockery tho Penitentiary , instead of tho madhouse , are likely to be put an end to . The snake i * , at last , scotched ; a few more chops at the reptile may , it is hoped , effect its destruction . By the Mansion House reports of Tuesday , it appears that Sir Peter Laurie , who has the merit of having been the first among his brother magistrates to express an opinion adverse to this devilish innovation upon the purity of justice and tho rights of humanity ,
stated that , in consequence of tho number of cases of decided and incurable insanity that had occurred in the Penitentiary during the last eighteen months . Government had at length directed that the system should be discontinued , and a more rational mode ot treatment adopted towards the . prisoners confined there . Six persons , during the year 1040 , and three others in the first six months of the present year , have been reported as incurably insano , or hopelessly idiotic , through the body-and-mind-crushing regulations in force at this silent hell . Sir Peter might have carried his remembrance back to the cases of the three childron , who , under the paternal manage ment of the late Home Secretary , were sacrificed in the year 1839 upon the altar of experimental cruelty
for his edification ; but the worthy knight appeared satisfied that something had at last been done , or was promised to be done , which would prevent the future perpetration of such wanton barbarity . Sir Peter should remember tbat there is a trite but comprehensive saying to the effect that "hell is paved with good intentions , " and until the public is satisfied of the existence of something more than mero good intention in this matter of inquisitorial torture , it willnot , and oughtnot , tobo satisfied . The mischief of centralisation is frightfully apparent in this question of prison discipline , the Home Secretary is the focus from which the gaol regulations of the country radiate . He is , ex qfficio , the prime custodier of all criminal and political offenders after conviction ,
and as such , has , it seems , the right ( whether constitutionally or not , is a question for another day ) to regulate at pleasure the discipline by whiou they are coerced throughout the entire realm , and it has pleased him , or the philosophizing experimentalists by whom he is advised , that these regulations should be based upon principles alike harsh , unnatural , and vindictive , without reference , to the true purposes of justice , which ever tend to the wholesome correction and permanent amendment of the criminal , and not to his progressive , but inevitable destruction . In all cases of provincial imprisonment this supreme right appears to have been delegated to the local authorities as eager to carry out the cold-blooded experiments of the tyrants of the Home-office , as if
their exertions in the task of punishment were the only tenure by which they might preserve to themselves the magisterial dignity . Look , for instance , at the gaols of Warwick , Bradford , York , and the numberless other dens , in which good men and true have been mewed up like wild beasts , and treated as such to gratify the petty revenge of a despicable Government , through the lickspittle subserviency Of magisterial sycophants . This , however , is wandering from the point . The system of seclusion and silence , the goads by whicb [ men and women , aye , and children too , have been driven to madnes ? , and then thrust from the gloomy cells of the Penitentiary at Millbank into the incurable wards of the Bethlehem Hospital , are to he laid aside ; and
Sir Peter Laurie is gratified at having so much accomplished in the way of reformation of the infernal system ; but how lamentably mistaken he must be if he supposes that his amelioration will extend further than Millbank , unless suoh extension is forced upon the H ome Secretary . The new erection at Holloway , fw the secret torture of such of her Majesty ' s subjects as shall dare to speak their minds too freely of her Majesty ' s Government , has not been built at a cost of nearly £ 100 , 000 for nothing . The symmetrical arrangement of honeycombed cells , and radiating airing yards , like so many ladies' coffins , has not been perfected for
nothing . The arrangements of tfee chapel , into which God ' s broken-hearted creatures are to be led , hooded and masked , that they may mock their Maker with thaukgivings , while , in the frenzy of despair , they curse the incarnate devils he has created to torment them , have not been adopted for nothing . The hood and mask are not to ba introduced tor the first time into the prisons of England without an object , and when onco in general use whaj , is to hinder the gag being applied , what is to preTent the infliction of the thumb-screw , or the boot , or the pickettiug-irons t These are all works of secrecy , and may now be carried on without fear cf publicity , for the g % ol grave or the madhouse will

keep the secret . Such have been kept again . In short , the snake is scotched , but not killed ; and no Englishman ought to rest satisfied until , by a conjoint and universal expression of opinion with hia iellow-countrynien , he has compelled the Government , or that individual member of it who exercises supreme authority in this matter of prison discipline , to issue distinct and positive commands that these newly-introduced samples of systematic torture shallbe at once and for ever abolished in all the the prisons of England . —Dispatch .

Animal Magnetism . —An exhibition of the remarkable phenomena of animal magnetism took place on Monday , at the Hanover-square rooms . The company or audience assembled in the large room on the ground floor ; and , a few minutes after three o ' clock , M . Delafoutaine , accompanied by a modest and rather interesting girl , presented himself on the temporary stage . A gentleman , a foreigner eridenllj , from hiB slight accent , then addressed the persons present , and in a very lucid and appropriate manner offered some observations and remarks on the history ot animal magnetism , which , though in themselves exceedingly appropriate and well adapted for tbe lecture-room , would be misplaced in our report . At the conclusion he was
muoh cheered ; and as soon as silence could be obtained , M . Delafontaine commenced his experiments . Ia a few minutes the patient was fast asleep . Pins were then stuck into her hands and head , without any signs being indicated that she experienced pain or uneasiness . Tho company being satisfied with this exhibition of M . Defafontaine's magnetic power , though a gentleman near us was incredulous on tho subjeot , a youth presented himself . Having paid his respects to the company , he was seated in the chair , and in a very few moments completely Mesmerised . Pins were then thrust into his head , thighs , and hands . Ammouia and the lucifer matches wero applied tolas nostrils , and the percussion caps discharged at his ear without producing
any visible effects . It was tben suggested by a gentleman , who gaid his name was Jackson , and that he was well known at St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital , that , to test the truth of , M . Delafontaine ' s experiments , he should be allqjC . Hn to hold up the arms of the patient in a horizontflf position , and that during that period M . Delafontaine should magnetise , and produce in them a cataleptic crisis . M . Delafontaine consented , and in about five minutes so perfect a state of catalepsy was produced that Mr . Jackson ( of St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital ) expressed himself much alarmed , exclaimed , " You will throw him into convulsions , " which to a certain extent he did . Th » patient ' s arms then remained upraised above his head , and in a most painful position . Pins were
again thrust into his hand and thighs , and we blush to record it , some ( . how shall we characterise such an individual ?)—say , then , a thoughtless—no , tbat is not the word—an unprincipled person , thrust a sharp instrument—we should say it waa a lancetinto tho upper part of the calf of the leg , yet no symptoms of suffering were exhibited . We mention hore , to gave time , tMt the reason we have for saying that it was a sharp instrument is the fact that the youth lost more than an ounce of blood ; nor waa this known until he bad been removed from tho chair , he having , contrary to all experience felt so ill , that M . Delafontaine was compelled to retire with him from the room . In our opinion it was the loss of blood which , caused the
faintness . On his return , M . Delafontaino wa 3 desirous of proceeding with the voltaic and electro-galvanic experiments , out the company expressed themselves perfectly satisfied . A gentleman ot Caias College , Cambridge , and with whose name we were kindly favoured , presented himself , and desired to be magnetised , fhis gentleman ' s father was present . M . Delafontaine , through his interpreter , said , that from the appearance of the gentleman , who was a strong young man , about twonty-two years of age , sinewy and powerful , he did not think he would succeed in magnetising him , but ho would try . In about five minutes he was dead asleep . This was a most remarkable case , and excited great interest . When awakened , this gentiemaa was kind enough to
explain to the company all his sensations . He said he was in the first instance a passive patient , but that as soon as he sat in the chair he did everything in his power to resist tho influence of the magnetiser , but that he could not succeed . He complained that ? revious to hia sleep he felt as if about to be suffocated . n fact , the glohus hystericus was vi 3 iblo , and the sensation was so acute that M . Delafontaine was obliged to remove his stock , for fear ef ulterior consequences . A second young gentleman , younger apparently than the last , then desired to be magnetised , and , strange to say , he was also from Cambridge . He obligingly favoured the company with his name . This case was still more decisive than the last . The patient was in a vervfew minutes rendered perfectly unconscious , and exhibited the usual phenomena . He was awakened by the snapping of a percussion cap
at the back of his hoad , and described to the company the sensations which he had experienced . He said he felt as if about to faint , and that , in fact , the entire sensation was that of a fainting fit , without its unpleasant accompaniments . It is remarkable that both theso gentlemen , who were of very dissimilar temperaments , should have experienced the same sensations . We have thus hastily , and to the best of our ability , without leaning to one side or the other , reported the particulars of this ( to us . and we believe to all present ) extraordinary exhibition . We still withhold our opinion , though wo hfive no hesitation in saying that the phenomena which we have lately witnessed remain yet unexplained on the supposition of imposture . The room was weli fiUed , and with highly respectable persons — Weekly Chronicle .
Religious Toleration (?)— At the Guildhall , on Tuesday , the Rev . Mr . Hall , a Roman Catholic clergyman , applied to Mr . Alderman Kelly tor his advice under the following circumstances : —He was Bent for by a Roman Catholic prisoner , confined in the Giltspur-street prison , to visit him , and he did so last week . He afterwards sent him a prayerbook , and also some prayer-books for some other Catholics , who were confined in the gaoi . Upon making a subsequent visit , he found that none of these books had reached the prisoners , but had been intercepted by the Rev . Mr . Boddington , the Protestant Chaplain of the goal . The same Prayerbook which he was pleased to prohibit was admitted for the use of the Catholio prisoners in Newgate , with the sanction of the Rev . Mr . Carver , the Ordinary . Complainant had an interview with the Rev .
Mr . Boddiiigton , and was not treated with tho courtesy which one Clergyman ought to show to another . The complaint he made was twofold—that the Catholic prisoner was compelled to attend with the Protestants at the chapel , against a man ' s conscience ; and next , that he was prevented from receiving a Roman Catholic Prayer-book . The Chaplain said , with respect to the latter , that it contained matters contrary to what he taught , and he had a mind to bum the several copies complainant had sent ; and that he should persist in requiring Catholic as well as Protestant prisoners to attend divine service in his chapel . Mr . Alderman Kelly said he had no power to interfere as a single Magistrate , but if the complainant would take the trouble to make his representation to the Committee of Aldermen , he was sure it would receive due consideration .
Execution of the Knahesborough Murderers . —On Saturday last , at noon , the awful sentence of the law was carried into execution npon JoHh Burlinsou , Henry Nuttall , and Charles Gill , who were convicted at the Yorkshire Assizes of the murder of Joseph Cocker , of Knaresborough . Ever since their condemnation all the three men have conducted themselves in a most penitent manner . It does not appear that they ever entertained any hopes of a reprieve being granted them . They were attended in their devotions , from the trial to the execution , by the chaplain of the gaol , the Rev . J . Shackley , Rev . Thomas Riohardson , and the Rev . J . Rattanbury , Weeleyan minister . The unhappy convicts paid the most reverent attention to the instructions
which were afforded them by the Rev . Gentlemen , and exhibited the utmost anxiety in making themselves prepared for entering upon eternity . The prisoner Gill has suffered considerably for several days from erysipelas , so much so , that for a length of time he was confined to his bed . In walking across the yard from the condemned cell to the room where they were pinioned , Burlinson and Nuttall walked with a firm step ; Gill , who was weak from the effects of disease , was supported b y two of the attendants . At twelve o ' clock George H . Seymour , Esq ., the Undar-sheriff , demanded in the usual manner the bodies of the condemned , immediately after which the procession was formed , and the men walked to the scaffold . They were quite resigned to their fate , and when the chaplain engaged in the usual servioe they were loud and earnest in their responses . After this the whole three were engaged in prayer for several minutes . Burlinson , who was
the eldest of the three men , was placed in the position of the drop next Castlegate , Gill was in the centre , and Nuttall occupied the other extremity . Gill was more firm upon the scaffold than might have been expected from his previous suffering from erysipelas . The other two walked to the scaffold with a firm step ; but the demeanour of the whole three was that of the deepest contrition and penitence . After the usual preliminaries the bolt was drawn , and the men were launched into eternity . The sufferings undergone by Burlinson and Gill seemed to be great , their bodies were very much convulsed ; the other seemed to die soon after the executioner had done his work . After hanging the usual time the bodies were cut down and removed to the prison , previous to their being buried within its precincts . All the three were quite young men , Bu : T . n-Eon beiBg 24 years of age , Nuttall 22 , and Gill 19 . Burlhiaon and Gill were the parties who inflicted the wounds upon the old man . Nuttall was present at tho time , and assisted at the rifling of Cocker ' s pocket . They all belong to Knaresborougb , where their families reside .

The Clerical anti-Corn Law Convention . --Wa find the following in the Perth Chronicle : — " Thk Manchester Cowfebencb . —The First Relief Congregation here has resolved to send the Rev . Mr . Lindsay to the Conference of Ministers , to be held in Manchester on the Corn Law question . A ' meetinB ° f the congregation was held ou Monday evening for this purpose , at which it was also agreed to give their pastor instructions regarding the best means of effecting a repeal of these laws . One of the resolutions is to the following effect - That it is the decided conviction of the congregation , that the only way by which a proper adjustment ofthe grievance ean ^ be obtained , is the admission of all classes of her Majesty ' s subjects to an edual particination in the
right of being represented in the House of Commons . * The resolution only suggests tbat the reason for coming to this conclusion is , that the classes whose interests are to be upheld in their present form , have the sole power to repeal these law ? , and are . therefore , not likely to do so . We hope that all congregations will give similar instnictioHS to their ministers ; and thus a mighty movement may be commenced which will , ere long , be the means of rendering justice to the oppressed millions of this country . The Bishop of London . —A certain aged Rector , iii Middlesex , has lately been summoned to attend his Lordship to give an account of his conduct on tho following charges : —That he is in the habit of opening his window , and converting himself into
what the Americans call a trollop , viz ., sitting in an arm chair and giving the passers-by a view of the solea of his thoes—that , in such unclerical posture , he has been seen reading a newspaper on the Lord's day—and last , but not least in the Bishop ' s eyes , that his reverence has a cask of ale ( canon ale of course ) on his drawing-room sofa ! The old gentleman , Dot a little annoyed at being brought from a distance to answer such paltry charges , told the Bishop that he was not aware there was anything very heinous in any of the charges , supposing they were all true , but pleaded not guilty to tbe Sunday newspaper reading . It is really pitiful to fiud a learned man like Dr . Blomfield listening to the tittle-tattle of every busy fool . If a clergyman is
guilty of any immortality , it is a Bishop ' s duty to interfere , but the eccentricities of seventy may suroly be passed over . It is too late at suoh an age to study-Chesterfield or the dancing-master . —Sunday Times . Extraorpinary Affair . —Great excitement prevailed at Wootton Bassett on Saturday week , in consequence of the following circumstance : —A man of the pariah of Cliffa Pypard had been taken intocustody the Saturday previous by the police-officer , for threatening to beat a woman . The officer , whether acting under the advice of a magistrate or not is unknown , took him into the parish of Wootton Bassett , and turned him over to the policeman stationed in that town , who , without any ceremeny , put him into the Blind-house , where he was confined
until the following Thursday . He was then taken to the county magistrates , but from some cause or other , nothing was decided , and he was again placed in confinement , where he remained until Saturday , tho policeman refusing to allow him to breathe fre 3 Ji air , or to obey the calls of nature , otherwise than in his dungeon ! Thus wa 3 a free-born Englishman imprisoned for a week , without sny inquiry having been nstituted into the charge on which he was apprehended . Tho Mayor hearing of the matter , and understanding that the inhabitants were disgusted at the wanner of confinement ( the Blind-house being a miserable hole , only six feet by four feet ) , desired the policeman to take the man to the parish where the alleged offence wa 3 committed , and in which a
county magistrate resided . The case was then disposed of , and the man dismissed , it appearing that he was of unsound mind ! Surely this matter requires investigation . — Wiltshire Independent . bIel ^ croly Case of Female Destitution . —On Saturday , Jane Knight , a remarkably fine-grown and interesting girl , between fifteen and sixteen years of age . was placed at the bar , before Mr . Hardwick , the sitting magistrate , at Marlboroughstreet , on , the following charge : —Police constable 70 , of the C . division , stated that , about eleven o ' clock oo . Friday night , he found tbe defendant sitting ou the step of a doer in the Quadrant , Regent-street , with her head leaning on her hands , on her knees . She was gobbing violently , and had no bonuet or shawl on ; the re 3 t of her apparel wa 3
drenched with the rain . In answer to the questions witness put to her , she stated that she was in a state of utter destitution , and actually starving Witness , therefore , out of a feeling of compassion , proceeded to take her to the station-house * but was obliged to support her all the way thither . Suitable refreshments were provided for her , and , under the circumstances of the case , she was made as comfortable as possible . Mr . Hardwick asked the defendant how she became so reduced to suoh & wretched condition ! The defendant ( burstinginto tears ) said that her mother had been dead about eighteen months ; that she had no brothers or sisters ; that her father run away from her five weeks ago , after disposing of his fumiture . beine under Decuniarv
embarrassments . She had since subsisted on what the neighbours , who respected her mother , had given her ; but at length every resource had failed her ; and for the lust two days and night ? , she had wandered about tho streets , without a place of shelter or rest , or a morsel of food ; and , when the policeman found her , she had but just sat down , being nnable to proceed further from sheer exhaustion . —Mr . Hardwick inquired if she knew to what parish she belonged ?—The defendant taid she had been told to St . James ' s , Westminster , as , for many years , and until about three months after her mother ' s death , her father , who carried on an extensive busiuess as a ladies' shoemaker , paid £ 180 per annum for the
house he occupied in Brewer-street . —The policeconstable , who took the defendant into custody , said he bad ascertained that the aocount she had given of herself was perfectly correct : and be had also learnt that , while she wa 3 wandering the streets at night , she had been despoiled of her bonnet and shawl , through refusing to accompany some of the most abandoned of her own sex , who endeavoured to inveigle her into a life of shame and infamy . —Mr . Hardwick said that he would see that the defendant was properly taken care of in future ; and , for the present , he should send her to St . James ' s workhouse . —The poor girl sobbed aloud her gratitude , and left the office .
New Order of the Poob Law Commissioned belativk to Destitute Persons found in the Stbekts . —Sir Francis Head , one Of the assistant Poor La , w , CommiB 6 ionerB , waited upon Mr . Twyford , the sitting magistrate , at Bow-street , and after referring to a statement that had appeared in the papers , of some proceedings that had taken place in that court on Monday , the 26 th ult ., relative to Emma Watson , a young woman found in the streets in a case of complete destitution , who had been taken by a policeman to St . Margaret ' s Workhouse , Westminster , and there refused admission by the porter , said that the Poor Law Commissioners had made a
full investigation into all the circumstances of the case , and the result was contained in a report , which he begged leave to hand to the bench . The report stated that the Commissioners deemed it expedient to issue such a regulation as should place the relief of applicants at the said workhouse , in circumstances of urgent necessity , on a more satisfactory footing , and should enable tbe magistrates , if necessary , to enforce such relief by the infliction of the penalties imposed is section 98 of the Poor Law Amendment Act , on persons guilty of any breach ofthe rules and regulations of the PoorL&w Commissioners . In pursuance of which resolution the Commissioners had made the following order : —
' To the Churchwardens , Overseers , &c ., of the parishes of St . Margaret and St . John , in the city of Westminster . We , the Poor Law Commissioners , under the powers and authority of an Act passed in the 5 th year of the reign of his late majesty King William IV ., entitled * An Act for the Amendment and better Administration of the Laws relating to the Poor in England and Wales , ' do hereby order and direct that any person in a State Of destitution , who may apply for relief under circumstances of sudden or urgent necessity , at any workhouse belonging to and situate within the parishes of St . Margaret and St . John , in the city of Westminster , shall immediately on such application be relieved by
admission into such workhouse , and by the supply in such workhouse of such food , clothing , medicine , and other articles of absolute necessity as the emergency of the case may require , until some lawful order touching the relief of such person be otherwise made by the persons duly authorised in that behalf . And we do hereof order and direct the master , matron , and porter of such workhouse respectively , to admit any such person so destitute as aforesaid into the same , and so far as each of them respectively is empowered so to do , to supply or procure to be supplied , such relief in food , clothing , or medicine , aa aforesaid , until some lawful order shall be given in respect of any such person , by the persons duly authorised in that behalf .
( Signed ) "J . G . Lefevbe * 11 Dated Aug . 6 , 1841 . « G . C . Lewis . " Mr . Twyford having looked at tho above document , said he was glad the case had attracted the attention of the Poor Law Commissioners , and that they had made an order which would empower the magistrates to order relief to be # iven in such cases , which would prevent the recurrence of anything of the kind in future . Sir F . Head then bowed and withdrew .
