OH ! no mote to the B&gle of Prance shall be given , lie glory to « oar wito his cteud-tipping wings ; Troclaixniag o ' er earth from the dome of high heaven , Tbe monarch of nations—the ruler of kings , yo more in the gloaming , ere battle yoaM find Mm Wrapped np in ha " grey coat , " and restless I ¦ ween , Te combat thrice orer the foes ¦ who consigned him To perish far from his dear banks of the Seine .
Ifo more shall the clouds of oppression he broken , His thnnder and lightning has ceased "With hia fall ; Tho * eft shall his glorieus achievementa be spoken , By those who "would onward to death at hia call . He ' B gone ; bat forever , the brave-will deplore him , Tbe chivalrous ill-fated victim of "war ! And weep the sad day when the green land o'er him , Was blasted by snow on the hnin of the Czar . Too long hath hia corse lain beneath the green willow , Far , far , from thee France on a desolate shore ; With a brook for hia bed and a rock for his pillow , But now the rnde surges shall mock him no more . Then glory O France ! in the name that ador'd thee , Else blot ont thy name from the lists of tbe brave ; Lo - ' the star of his greatness expiring fell e ' er thee , 3 $ nt hast than bo meteor to beam on his grave ?

Gentleman , we believe , who belongs the Independent denomination , formerly resided at Wolverhampton , but about five years ago , ¦ went out to Canada , where he has since resided , bein $ employed as a missionary . The Rev . Gentleman stated that his remarks on emigration had
been rather elicited in deference to the judgment of others than to serve any object of his own . He had no interest to serve by lecturing , nor was he the agent of any land company in the colony ; if , however , he coald preserve any person from false steps , or satisfy any who might be in uncertainty as to emigration , he should consider himself to have been well employed . The lecture was of great length , and was listened to with patient attention . A vote of thanks was given to the lecturer at the close .

Stjan , "Was charged before the magistrates , at tha Court House , with an aggravated assault on his wife , and also on policeman £ ; abbs , who was called in to take him into custody . The parties reside in Ebencrer-street , and it would appear led a regular cat and dog sort of life , the green-eyed aonster having taken possession of the breast of the unfortunate husband , who declared that he beat bis wife , because she would have another man to lodge in the

The transaction was said to have taken . place on Saturday night , about twelve o ' clock . The old man ' s face bore mark 3 of punishment ; but it having come out that they had all been drinking together at the Dog aud Gun , which place thty left in company , and the old man not being quite sober , tho magistrates dismissed the charge of robbery , of which , indeed , there was no evidence adduced ' r and fined them 10 s . each for the as 3 aalt .

Accident from Fibe Arms . —On Monday last , an accideat from the incautious use of fire arms , occurred at the house of Mr . John Robinson , the Wild Man , Quarry hill , which it is very fortunate was not attended with fatal con ? equence 3 , A young man named Thomas Rnssum , residing with his mother in the Globe Yard , Quarry-hill , who has been for some time out of employment , was on Monday forenoon eug 3 ged by Mr . Robinson to do gome trifling jobs about his house . At dinner time he was sai in the tap-room eating soma bread and cheese , when suddenly a report of fire arms was beard , and tbe poor fellow fell to tbe floor covered with blood . He was at once removed to the Infirmary , and an enquiry set on foot as to the person who had fired the shot ; it then appeared that a lad named Porster hsd an old pistol in his possessien , which , on Monday , whilst be was
getting his dinner , he had lent to another lad named Mos& , who huTing plaed a cap on the nipple , held the muzzle to the ear of a companion , named IUingworth , and pulled the trigger . The ca ? exploded , but no further consequences ensued , tha pistol though charged having missed fire . After tMs the piscol was returned to Porster , who , whilst standing in the street , close to tha tup room window of the Wild Mao , fis . » d on another eat > , and poin : ori tho pistol thrauxb the window which Happened to be open , and pulled the trigger . The contents of tie pistol exploded directly , and the whole charge took effect on the right cheek of RU 3-sum , ' the powder breaking and entering the skin , and a strong wadding striking him with great force on the temple . The skin has been since removed by Mr . Samuel Smith ( under whoso care he is placed ) , and we are glad to hear ha is doing well . We are told that the lad who was the cause
of the mischief , has been occasionally employed to carry out pipes by Mr . Lonsdale , and that , after the accident , he wa 3 sent with , some pipes from Mr . Lonsdale ' s shop , after which he absconded , and has not since been heard of . We understand be declares positively bis ignorance of the pistol being loaded . A Spbke . —On Monday last , two young men , named John Webster and Jame 3 pawsou , were charged at the Conrt-House with having been fouud at an early hour on Suuday morning , in an unoccupied house , in Bridge-street , with a felonious intent . A Sergeant of the lightly Watch stated that he received information that two young men were amusing themselves by knocking at people's doors , and in passing along Bridge-street , in which direction they had gone , he heard a voice in the house in question , and in trying to obtain access the door was pushed against him . He
ultimately sot in and found the prisoners ; there were sundry articles of furniture in the bouse , which had been placed there " for convenience of sale , " some of which had been broken either by the prisoners or some oiher party . On being asked -what they had to say , Webster said he had enlisted , and was about to leave the town ; he had met with Dawson , on Saturday ni ^ ht , and they agreed to have a tpree before , he set off . They accordingly went and had some drink , after which they set off in search of a bouse of ill fame , and knowing the one in wh : ch they were found to be such they went in , having found the door open , and from tbe fact of furniture being there , they had no doubt they were right , until the watchman disturbed them . They denied ba-ing injured anything , or thai they were there with any felonious intent .. The magistrates , however , thought oiherwire , and not believing their story entirely , sent them for a month to Wak&field .
Fatal AcciDENT .- ^ On Tua » aay morning , an inquest was held at the house of Mr . Ingham , the George Inn , Kirkstall , before Mr . E C . Hopps , deputy coroner , on view of the body of John Pinli , the son of Mr . Henry Firth , carrier , of Caiverley Moor , near Bradford . The deceased leu Bradford on Saturday afternoon la = t , with his father ' wagsoa , drawn by three horses , to proceed to" Leeds with goods , as we understand , for the railway .

He passed the George Inn , which froms the highway , and very soon after the horses were observed suddenly to
start eff , from what cause is not . known , and the deceased was seen to fail . The horses aud waggon passed on ,-the whecl 3 not having gone over him from bis having fallen longitudinally along tbe road . When taken up he was quite dead , there not being any s 5 # E 3 of either brnises or blood abont tbe body . The body was removed to the George Inn , and Mr . Machill , surgeon , was sent for ; shat gentlemas , wh ^ n examined at the inquest , gave it as his opinion that the Euddcn shock by which ht- had been thrown off the waggon , and the fall on the ground , had dislocated tbe vertebra of the neck , injured the spinal marrow , and ruptured tbe vessels of the heart . Sensation had evidently ceased at once , and instant death been occasioned . There was the
appearance of a contused mark on the left bide both before and behind , but he did not think the wheel of the waggon had gone over him , though it might have touched him . The Jury , after hearing the evidence returned a verdict of " Accidental Death . " The deceased was twenty-four years of age , and was generally respected ; he was exceedingly corpulent , and the weather being hot , decomposition had actually commenced ; great complaints were made , not only by tbe landlord of tbe house , but by some of the jury , at the delay which bad arisen in holding the iEquest , atd Mr . Hoppswas questioned on the subject . That gentleman replied , that Mr . BJackburne bad left home on Satarday , and previous to his having had notice of his intention he had made arrangements to meet a party on important
professional business at Addingham , on Monday . Xo attend to thai he had left home on Satarday himself , and the business did not terminate until bjx on Monday evening . He felt aorry for the delay , and for the Hnpleasantness which it had occasioned , but from Sunday intervening , it bad in this case been unavoidable . —Connected with this accident , another oecnired , from triich the suffering party is not yet pronounced out of danger . A sweep who was returning to Leeds had obtained leave to ride in the waggon , and when tbe horses started off , and Firth was thrown down , he attempted to jump out . In doing so he fell , and the wheels of the waggon passed over bis thigh , causing a compound fracture , besides iBJuring the tow on his other « *>*<• -I be poor fellow was taken up afid removed to Leeds Infirmary , where be £ till remains .

KEIGHLEY . —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 , the parish parson , attended by a group of pot-bellied landlords , two magistrates , two or three brandy-spinners , two auctioneers , a deputy-constable , a number of bumbaiiiffr , lawyers , and others , to the number of thirty , entered the church . At eleven , the vestry door was opened , and in ruaked tha working men , who numbered about three hundred . The plaoe being too small , tho Parson , without any motion being made , adjourned the meeting into the churchyard , where he soon seated himself on his official tripod . After some small talk , he mounted the
sasred stool , and , in true parsonic style , endeavoured to humbug the people , by appealing-to Vheir softer passion ? , bu ; it was " no go ; " they had not forgot the . clocks , tables , desks , and ivood he had seized xip-5 n for Eiotcr daoo , mnd othcT fgenca imtwieit . innn " The swinish multitude" did not n lisa such canting hypocrisy . The Parson seeing this , immediately called upon Mr . Win . Marrener , churchwarden , to read over tbe various items , to meet which the present rate was called for . Mr . M . hoped a good ieelinn 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 , t ' .. fcn proposed that a rate of three farthings in . the pound be granted to meet the current expences of
the year , and not suffer the eacred edifice to fall into decay , or leave the cemmunican . ts without the emblems of * he flesh and blood of tboir'dying Lord . Mr . Firth , at this stage of the business , wished to ask the Rev . Chairman , a question * , namely , if the parishioners , should move a Gounter resolution to the ODe they intended to submit to the meeting , and in the event of its being carried , and should the church purty demand a poll , would he fix upon Tuesday as the cay for comniendnj ;? " I shall reserve to myself tho right of fixing any day I please , " was the reply . It was then moved by a working man named John Watcrhouse , 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 , his Reverence did not relish this " grunt , " and refused to put the ntotion . It vraa then proposed by Mr . Joseph Firth , a fearless veteran in ihe radical rank ? , " Tir-at , as the Rev . chairman refused to do his duty , he should vacate the chair , and that it be taken by Mr . Robert Atkinson , hatter and grocer , a man of the strictest integrity , intelligence , liberality ot priuciple and moral "worth . " On being seconded and put to the meeting , all the blistered hands were instantly up , and it was triumphantly carried . The official locust fuither insulted the
meeting by refusing to vacate the chair . The assembled parishioners made repeated calk for tbe person who had been selected a 3 their chairman , but he was n or willing to yield to their call , for reasona which on any ether occasion would have had no weight with him . Mr . F . Greenwood then seized the books and ran off with them , and a few true pons of mother church eeizod tho tablo and tried to up-set it . After the row had subsided , and a poll had been dtmanued , Messrs . Atkinson , Waterhouse , and Firth , mounted a grave stone , and the two latter administered a severe and well-merited cassation to the : church party . Mj . F . Greenwood threatened to read the riot act , in order to quell the disturbance he had created , by surreptitiously running off with the bocks .

Beaufort Iron Works . —The following extraordinary circumstance lately occurred at these works -: —It appears that Mr . John Edmunds , master smith , bad for the last twelve years suffered at times a verysevere pain a little below his shoulder . He had applied to several medical gentlemen for advice , and taken large quantities of medicine , but all proved ineffectual . Last week , feeling tbe same sensation as if he bad been pricked with a pin , Mr . Edmunds put his hand down hia back and found something very sharp , bat took no further notice , fancying th * t it was a Email particle of iron that had led from some of the other smiths , and stuck fast in hii flannel Ehirk . In a few hours afterwards he was sitting
down to dinner , when- he felt a similar sensation , and asked Mrs . Edmunds to examine his back ; and it is a singular fact , that she discovered the point of a needle . Being too anziVUB to get it oat she tried with her fingers , but unfortunately put it-oafc of sight , bat tbe nest day the point of the needle was seen again . To make sure , they left it . until the folio wing day . By that time it had protruded nearly the eighth of an inch , and by applying a small pair of nippers they took out a needle one iaoh and threeeighths in length . Mr . Edmunds declares that be has io recollection whatever of the Beedle entering any part of hi ? body at any period . —Cfcrwar / ten Journal .

DbeabfulStobt . —On Thursday week , while a number of the workmen employed in the erection of Gleuties workhounp were standing tojj ; other , oue of them , with no bad intention , ; we believe , took the bonnet off his neighbour and throw it into tho lime kiln' b > loii £ M : g- ' -t ' o the works , which had not been quite emptied since tho last burning . The owner of the bonnet went . down into the kiln to recover it , but , not making his appearance , one of his friends also descended by the ladder , to see what detained him , and afterwards another , and another , till four had disappeared . Tho fears of the rest were now excited ; and , having hastened to the kiln , they heard a faint fihriek , and with great difficulty succeeded , by throwing down a rope , in rescuing the last of the four who descended , from the fate which had overtaken tho other three . Death was caused by their inhaling the carbonic acid giis which had collected at the bottamof the kiln . —Derm Standard .
An Immense Gun . —On Thursday a barge arrived at the wharf of the Royal 4 jrserial , having on board tho largest gun ever made in th \ s country , A powerful shears was put up expressly for Iandin 4 / this ponderous piece of ordnance , weighing very pearly eighteen tons , none of the cranes on th < v wharf being equal to the task . The arrangements for landing this great gun were excellently made , and carried into effect without tho slightest accident ; and the labour of conveying it to the butt shows great ingenuity , being effected by a coil of strong rope around it , moving the immense mates in a . rolling jnaanuer 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 the breech . The diameter of the boro is within one-tenth of sixteen inches . The weight of $ oiid " shot with which it Will be fired is 4451 bs ,, and shells or 3301 bs ., and it is expected two iolid shot of that weight and four shells in the eatae proportion will be used when it is proved at the butt . The howitzer was cast and bored by Messrs . Walker and Co . ; for Mc-hemet Ali , Pasha . of-Estypt , ; and two other large guus , 13 Q poundera , were landed at the same time to be proved for service in Egypt .

The survey or of the mines , from plant ) which he bad in hie posession , formedthc scheme of digging downwarda to ¦ where tha working of the old shaft came in ; contact with the one which is at present worked .

FiiANCB . r—The P / aris papers are chiefly occupied with the regency question , and other matters consequent on the death of the Duke ef Orleans . Although the opposition prints no longer attack the proposed regency of the Duke of Nemours , they require , as the price of their silence , that there shall bp a change of Ministers . This demand is made for the purpose of saving tho consistency of the editorsr of tho Cqurrier Francais and the Stecle , who , having compromised themselves by supporting the regeuoy of , the Dnchesa of Orleans , require some more tangible excuse than tha will of M . Thiera jfor their phan ^ e of tactics . Meanwhile , the king , notwithstanding the grief under which he ialabouringy will open the chamber in person , and present to thorn the infaut sou of the Duke of Orleans , who
Will hereafter be entitled Duke of Orleans ; prince royal . We learn from the National that typhus fever ib at this moment ; making great ravages in Paris ; aud that to such an extent has the infection extended , that it has been )¦ . necessary to prepare a supplementary hospital for the 6 ick at Saltpetriere . The commercial treaty entered into by France with Belgium is to exist for /' ¦' four years . The National Btatos that / extraordinary preoautions are being taken- by the military authorities of Paris . Toe troops axe ordered to remaih in their barracks , and general officersare sedn , both day and night , inspecting the military posts , and ascerteining that the orders ^ of the day are properly obeyed .

Brazils . —Falmouihj July 21 . —Arrited her Majesty ' s packet Peterel , Lieutenant Crsoke , from the Brazils ; " Rio de Janeiro , May 27 . —Since the departure of the last packet ( Express ) we hava had some important politfoal movementSibuti thanks to ^ the energy of the existing government , the peace of this proviuco has hot been disturbed . The most important step was the dissolving of the jegislativeassembly which took place on ^ he 2 nd inst . They were to have met on the following day for the despatch of business , and from the number cfrsvolutionary characters amongthemYa stormy . EeBsipn was expectefJ , All this has been happily obviated by the judicious measures of the government , and tho act of dissolution was read in the Chamber of Deputies in profound silence . The only mischief BOW to be feared is tho influence of the opposition mcmhers 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 verge of an outbreak , and on the receipt of this intelligence a revolt took : place in the town of Sorocaba , and which , if not checked in the bud , may have the most perniciofls effects . The president ' s demand for troops- was immediately responded to , arid on the very day on which the news 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 quarter . The hews from Rio Grande , the province bordering on on Monte Video , and which has been in a state of rebellion for the last seven years , is unimportant , and without the legalistas iro largely reinforced there appears little hopes of speedily regaining that important province ; indeed many people , well acquainted with the country , say it will be impossible without the introduction of foreign troops .

This happened about twelve or one 6 ' oiook f and ; if Peggy had been allowed to be examined by me in the hall , I would have made all this known there . Peggy asked me to bury her . I said I would not , but that I would leave her there , for I was afraid that I should be seen . I told them
they had killed my mother . They begged me to keep everythiri ^ secret . We all remained in the house until the dawn of the day . I then went up to DowJais , and the others returned home to my father * in-law ' s , an they say , and told their story about being all night at Coed y Cynmer .

My wife placed the child on the opposite side of the bed to where iriy mother's bqidy was lying . We then together dragged the corpse out and placed it under the bed .
