SONG FOB THE MILLIONS . Fbiskds of Freedom , swell the strain That peals across th' Atlantic main , > tiH echoes wide o ' er hill and plain , Arousing men to Liberty . Tour erery moral power awake , Bstir yourselves for Freedom ' s sake ; Base Slavery "i chains shall map and break Before your godliie energy . Lift up yoor face * from the dust , Yenr cause is holy , pure , and just ; In Freedom ' s God pat all your trust , Be he your hope and uncaor . Give to the world your firm decree , That Britons urUl—they will fee free ; Shout , shoot for glorious Liberty J It will succeed and conquer .
Yam tyrants , that would mate us Blares , Go look upon the patriots' graves , And study there , ye dastard knaves , The folly of your knarry . What ! think ye to subdua the mind . Which God hath given to mankind ? Te surely will for erer find Men will not suffer slavery . Though ye have prisons to immure The poor , and friends nnto the poor , Yet think not basely to allure The nock ftom they who leai them Tain are your dungeons , idly vain The rack , the torture , and the chain ; Te neither can nor shall restrain Our strong desire for freedom .
We ask for rights by Nature given , Sanctioned and ratified by Heaven , For which our forefathers have striven On the bottie-field and wave : "We wish to make no man oar foe , For all are equal bom we know , And all must surely , surely go To the republic of the grave . Benjamin Stott Manchester .

The first act was the war with onr American colonies , arising cvl of Tory restrictions on their trade ! The second act teas Die coalition of the Whigs and Tories ix 1793 , to prevent that Reform which wonld have prevented a war that cost , perhaps , two thousand millions Bud ended in a tsx on food—which tax threatens to destroy our trade , and , « . f course , to anarchiae the cation . The third act was the perpetration of that tax an food is 1815 , by which , sod by » Isw , called Peel ' s Bill , its authors secured their war prices in peace , and their paper prices in gold ; villanons advantages , which they have followed up by depriving the poor of their privilege of out-door pay ! in the face of their own declaration , placed on eternal record , that they are
themselves the mist destructive horde of beggars and thieves that ever infested any community ; " For they cannot live without protection , " they declare ; and th ' . ir declaration must be either falre or true : if it is true , why do not they go to the workhouse ? if it is false , why are they not sent to the tread-mill ? This ominous fourth act is now dosing , with another coalition of Whigi and Tories to prevent all Reform ! Even so was the French Revolution produced by the obstinate refusal of the aristocracy to bear any share of the taxes , they having untaxed themselves ; and they ended , as ours will , by fighting with the executive for the remains of the public * poiL ' Horribly like , " said Hum the Fourth , of his father ' s portrait .

THE LIFE OF SAINT IGNATIUS , BISHOP OF ANT 1 OCH . London , H . G . Clarke and Co ., 66 , Old Bailey . 1842 . This is the first number cf a series of the lives of the early Christian fathers , and is intended to render yonug persona more familiar with the actions aud sufferings of those early witnesses for the truth . It as written in a popular style , and we are happy to perceive that the writer has , to a considerable extent , avoided exhibiting a party or sectarian spirit . There can be no doubt that some acquaintance with the personal history of those who first irradiated the gloom of pagan darkness by the Jight and benevolence of primitive Christianity is most desirable for those whose limited means prevent them from acquiring information from the voluminous works ( most of them in the dead languages ) in which the facts have been transmitted to us . Any judicious
attempt , therefore , to collect those facts into a concise and popular form must be hailed with pleasure ; and in this little work , though it is not so faultless as could have been desired , we recognise the commencement of such aa attempt , and we cordially ¦ wish it success . To the members of Episcopal Churches , this little work cannot be but acceptable ; tut it has equal claims to the encouragement of Christians of every name , who wish to impress upon the minds of the young the bright examplts of primitive piety . We hope thas in succeeding lives care will be taken to gWe a reference t » the acthomies from whence the facts stated are derived . Ih ' . a is done in some cases in the life of Saint Ignatius , bui in others it is not . This is a point ot vast importance , especially as the works are intended for the special instruction of the young . We advise that the lives should appear monthly » along with the otfeer periodicals of the day .

The Amkkicah Dives—Smith , the diver , took another leap from Sunderland bridge , on Monday , the 19 th instant , amidst a vast crowd of spectators , but it nearly cost him his life . The height is upwards of 110 feet , but he darted into the water without fear , and afterwards rose apparently in a very feeble and exhausted condition . On being brought ashore he was seized with convulsions , when it was found necessary to bleed him . At first the blood flowed slowly , and was as black as treacle , shewing the great congestion which had taken place in the lungs , together with the gorged state of the heart and blood-vessels . Ht , suffered sorae time from nervous exhaustion , but ultimately rallied .
The " Press Gang . "—The Shrjjield Independent is in extaciea with Mr . Vincent's lectures—i hey form ¦ n event in the political history of Sheffield . It is the ftm time since the commencement of the Universal Suffrage Movement which dates from 1838 , that the subject has been brought before the public under favourable autpices , and in a rational manner . But while praising this new light of Complete Suffrage , and argirj £ a union of the middle and working classes upon the basis laid down by Mr . Vincent , the Editor ( no donbt unintentionally ) let ' s the cat out of the bag—( Hear himi '" There must , then , be & anion , complete and cordial , df the middle and working classes ; but it is plain that the working classes will not join that nnion , except upon one fundamental
condition , and that is the acknowledgement and advocacy of their claim to the elective franchise . On this basis , there may be a union , a living , hearty , powerful union , which may be made effective , not only to attain the franchise , but if that be delayed , to accomplish many other political objects ia the meantime . " Here is a projected union of the foxes and geese with a vengeance ; Cackle away ye dupes cf Complete humbug , ye'll find out your folly in due time . The proposed uuion may be made effective for the obtainment of the franchise ; but , " don ' t you wish you may get it !"' " but if that bo delayed other political objects may be accomplished id the meantime . Wnat political objects J iH course rot Corn Law Repeal , for over and over again we have been told that is not a political object ; but to come to plain sailing , in sober
seriousness let us ask what is the meaning of the above Is tb ; reany other meaning than this , that while the basis of the projects union of the middle and working c ' a .== es is to be the acknowledgment on the part of the former , of the justice of the claim of the latter to the elective franchise , that that nuion is to be worked for the accomplishment of other political object ? , to wit , Corn Law liepeal and Vote by Ballot ! We reiterate what we have often before asserted , our conviction that the Complete Suffrage movement was started for tha purpose of dividing the popular party , and using the people's power for the obtainmeat of " other objects" than the " fix points" of the Charter . Honest mon there E-ay'be in the ranks of the Complete Suffragists , but there are too many schemers associated with them for U 3 to have much faith in their political integrity .
The Scottish Regalia . —On her Majesty ' s visit to Edinburgh Castle , the crown , sceptre , &c ., were removid to an apartment above , where the light was stronger , in order to be more conveniently inspected by her Majesty and the Prince . His Royal Highness , however , not content with this view , requested to be Ehewn the room where the regalia waa discovered , about twenty-two years since , in an old oaken chest , covered nearly a foot deep with dust , and which now forms an interesiim : historical event .
Prince Albert expressed himself highly gratified by this . viEit , and reuiarked that he thought it would have been more satisfactory to her Majesty to have seenthese relics in the apartment where they are generally exhibited . Her Majesty , we understand , expressed her admiration of the workmanship of the sceptre , and observed to some of her suite that this comparatively advanced state of art at such a remote period was to be accounted for by the intimate alliance subsisting between Scotland and France . — Caledonian Mercury .
Police Outbage . —Goverskent Investigation . — An investivation , held by order of Government , took place in Limerick on Wednesday , for the purpose of inquiring into the conduct of two policemen stationed at Hallycahane , near the post town of Croom . The inquiry was instituted on the memerial of a respectable farmer , a Mr . Carmody , of Ashford . The facts of the case may be gathered from the following statement given by the Limerick Beporler , from which it would appear that the pwnfcs of these well-paid functionaries are played off with equal grace at both sides of the Channel : — The memorial set forth the
facts which Mr . Carmody complained of , the gross , the indecent , the revolting oatrage perpetrated in his house , to which those policemen went , whilst under the influence of intoxicating drink—where they forced themselves into the bedroom of Mr . Carmody ' s daughter , outside which they fired rounds of ammunition , and where they acted in such a way —in a way connected with all the circumstances of this case , u to prove that the discipline of the force iaJax and irregular—that the people can have no confidence ia it ; and that a Radical reformation is loudly called for in every ramifioation of the service .

All in the Dark . —During the performance of divine service at St .

Cidkb and Pkrbt—These delightful beverages ( fays a IX ' ewent correspondent ) will be extremely cheap next month . Good Perry then will be sold at Ledbury at 25 s . for the hogshead of 100 gallons . A large farmer at Dymock , near Ledbury , has engaged to deliver 2 , 000 gallons of excellent cider at Abergavenny , by the first week in November at 6 d . per gallon .

Touching Liars—Truth has beoome so soarce a commodity now a-days , that one hardly considers a man a liar , provided he lie ? for his own advantage ; for I verily believe that some men have akind of preference for a lie—that they would avoid telling the truth if possible , even though it suited them best .

A Riveb . Dried Up . —The heata of the summer have bo dried up the waters of the river Elbe , that the watermills are all at a stand ; and near Pirna the river is entirely dry . The waters , in retiring , have given up a secret kept up by them for more than two _ hundred years . A square stone is left bare , having the following significant inscription in S * xton patois : —• " When last men saw me , in August , 1629 , they wept ; and they who see me next shall weep too . " Incendiarism at Stston . —We regret to state , that a stack of barley , belonging to Mr . M . Sheffield ,
of Syston , was discovered to ba on fire there , on Tuesday morning last , and that there is but too much reason to consider that it was wilfully and maliciously occasioned . Indeed , we learn that the person in custody , John Bellamy , has admitted the fact . He was fuliy committed for trial on Wednesday , by Mr . Heyrick . We are credibly informed , that the prisoner has stated that he was prompted to the deed by feelings of revenge , as he asserts that a son of the owner of the stack maintained an illicit intercourse with his wife , under the roof , and with tha connivance of her own father and mother . —Leicester Journal .
Pencarrow . —This seat of Sir William Molesworth , Bart ., has recently undergone considerable improvement . A pieoe of ground has been prepared , in which is planted a very interesting collection of New Zealand plants Iat r ly sent home by the brother Ot the worthy Baronet .

Mr . R . Hrix . —Wo have been informed that the individual to whom the country is indebted for the inestimable advantages of the cheap postage , has just been dismissed from his situation by the Govern ment . Mr . Rowland Hill is no longer to have even a Bhare in the working of his own plan . This announcement bein £ in accordance with an intimation made in Parliament towards the close of the session , may not occasion much surprise ; but we are greatly mistaken if it does not excite throughout thacouutry feelings of regret and indignation . The proceeding is one so discreditable to the Government , that we can hardly understand how it should have been sanctioned , aa it muBt have been , by Sir Robert Peel . —Morning Chroniele .
A sang of pickpockets is now frequenting the different markets and lairs in this county , who carry out their detigns on their neighbours' pockets by means of ncat ' y dressed boys , whoso apparent innocence disarms all suspicion of their being thieves . In our last , we noticed the apprehension aud committal of one of these lads , at Lincoln , as a reputed thief ; last week another of them was taken at Gainsborough , who was recognised by the governor of the Kirton Lindsey gaol as an old acquaintance , having bad him in custody for picking pockets at Brigg . —Boston Herald .
Pickled Egos . —An industrious farmer ' s wife , residing at Shipton , near Andover , among a variety oJ' other pickles which aho annually introduces into her store-room , preserves pickled eggs . The procees she uses in curing them is very Bimple . When she has a large stock of eggs on hand she boils some six or seven dozen till they become hard . She then divests them of the Bhell , and puts them into large jars , pouring upon them scalding vinegar , saturated with giDger , garlic , whole pepper , and allspice . This pickle is an admirable aid to cold meat , and is , ia the winter months , regarded as a perfeot farmhouse luxury . — ( From a Hampshire Correspondent ) A Natural Protector . —Tho following acknowledgment appears as an advertisement in the Limerick Chronicle .

Alleged Sdicide and Suspicious Death of a Jlw . — During the whole of Friday a good deal of excitement prevailed among the Jews in Petticoatlane , Beli-lane , and thtir vicinity , occasioned by the death of Hyam Hyams , one of ' their people , " who , it was alleged , had committed suicide , and who was discovered dead iu his bed at two o ' clock on Friday morning . It is stated that on Wednesday last , being the day of atonement , anu a day of strict abstinence , as well as a holiday among the Jews , the deceased attended Synagogne with his family . After leaving his place oi worship , he proceeded to the neighbourhood of uld Ford , whero it is said he had .-ome bread , meat , and beer , and having been seen by two persons of his own persuasion , enjoying
his repast , he was much jtered about u by a number of persons who were made acquainted with his transgression . This circumstance , it ib . said , preyed much upon him , and on Friday morning hi * wife found him dead by her tide . She gave an alarm , wheu police constable H 181 , entered the house , 5 , Bell-lano . and found close to tho bed a , handkerchief , with a noose in it , and tho medical man called in has # iren it as his decided opinion that death has been produced by strangulation ; the wife declares her husband was quite dead when she discovered him , and knew nothing of the means by which her husband destroyed himself . An inqnest was held on the body on Saturday , when the Jury resumed a verdict of " Temporary insanity , "
Returned Emigrants . —We noticed ( says a Liverpool paper ) some weeks ago , that iargo numbera f > f people who had emigrated to the United States had returned in the ships from New York . Thi-y continue to arrive in considerable numbers . The greatest number brought by ono ship , up to last week , were 250 by tho Hottingeur ; but on Tuesday night , the packet ship New York arrived with upwards of 800 , many of whom would have starved from W 2 . nt of provisions , had not Captain Cropper humanely supplied the poor creatuvea out of the ship ' s stores . Amongst the passengers were a lot of British sailors , who had been some years in the American Navy , which they left , they say , lesc , if hostilite 3 should break out between Great Britain and the "United States , they might be brought into deadly conflict with their own countrymen .
The Shipping Interest . —We hear loud complaints of the depression which this interest , in common with the other great interests connected wiih trade , is now suffering . Freights from foreign ports , besides being scarce , are lower than they have ever been known before ; while at home freights are not only low , but cargoes with difficulty made up . So scarce indeed is employment for shipping , even at rates which will scarcely pay freight and charges , that the number of ships laid np in Liverpool alone is beyoi d all past experience . In most of the docks there are unemployed vessels and vessels on sale ; but the Brnnswiok dock , large as it is , has , if not two-thirds , certainly more than half of its space occupied by ships of large tonnage with brooms , the sign of being on sale , at their mast-heads . The west / side is wholly filled with tiers of vessels on Bale , and on tbe adjoining quay all traffic has ceased We have heard it mentioned , that one firm alone has from 10 , 000 to 12 , 000 tons of shipping thus laid up . — Liverpool Albion .

Temperance Hasvestmen . —Mr . Andrews , of Dunmow , has just finished his harvest , having twenty men in his employ who did not drink a glass of beer or any other intoxicating liquor during the time of their engagement . ¦ The men appear to have suffered but little from fatigue or the late sultry weather ; the whole of their labour was performed with a universal friendly feeling towards each other , and a bad word waa not heard to escape their lips .

Posen , Arc . 30 . —According to private letters from Kalisck , changes are about to take place favourable to tho inhabitants of the kingdom of Poland . The Emperor , it is said , has issued an ukase , which diraots that in Warsaw , and propakly in all Poland , ; he Polish language Bhall be again used as tho channel of instruction in the schools , and that 12 , 000
Polish troops shall be organised and commanded by Polish officers ( except the staff officers , who are to be Russians ) . It is believed that the Poles will be indebted for this change , if it should take place , to the visit of the King of Prussia to St . Petersburg . A Letter from Dresden of tho 8 th of September , in the Prussian State Gazette , says , " The fire in the forest on the frontiers of Saxony and Bohemia , is said not to be yet extinguished , but to continue its ravages in the forest of Prince Clesy , towards Tetachen . The remarkable circumstance has been observed there , that the fire continues to burn under ground , wholly destroying the roots , so that the trees which appear to be uninjured , suddenly fall down . — - Hamburgh Papers , 13 th Sspt .
Singular Circumstance . —On Wednesday last a sale of wines , &c , took place at the Custom-house , Shoreham . Amoncst tho articles sold wa 3 tho hull of Lo Mario Alexandre . It may be remembered that this ill-fated vessel was wrecked last January , having been abandoned by the crew , who woro never heard of . When towed into Shoreham harbour it was found to bo laden with brandy and mustard seed . The vessel on Wednesday was recognised by an old English captain , as one that he was compelled to abandon in the Bay of Biscay . It was then ongaged in the London wino trade , and on that occasion drifted over to the French coa ' t , was repaired , and registered in France . Tho English crew were saved . but it may uow be considered certain that the Frenchmen all met a watery gravt . The hull fetched only £ 27 .
Discovert of the Bodies of Two Infants . — Thursday evening , about seven o ' clock aa Thomas Jonep , a waterman , was perambulating the causeway near Whitehall-stairs , he observed a large box , which the tide had washed against the wall . Having hp cured the box , he conveyed it on shore , when to hia infinite surprise he discovered that its contents * were those of the bodies of two infants—one a male , the other a female , each wrapped in a pieco of coarse linen . He lost no time in giving information to the police , and the box with its contents woro conveyed to St . Margaret ' s workhouse , where they at present remain . The bodies were this morning examined , but , from their state of decomposition , it was impossible to ascertain with any degree of ccrtaiuty whether the infanta were still-born or were born alive , and had been unfairly dealt with .

India Rubber Pavement . —Who would have thought of paving oui Rtrcets , stu . bles and passages with India rubber ? Yet such a thing seems to be expected ; for wo find in a monthly periodical the notice of a plan for so doing . Tho price will be about the same as the best aspbalte pavement . It . is so elasticvliat it will not frabture with the hoaviest blow , which property prevents its wearing away It can ba altered , repaired , or relaid , at a small expense , as the old material can be taken back and reworked .

Important to Circulating Libraries . -and Book Clubs . —These establishments are placed in a very serious position by the 17 th section of tho New Copyright Act ( 5 and 6 Victoria , c . 45 . ) It is well known that most of them have for years been in tha habit of obtaining and letting . out to hire foreign editions of English works , infinitely to the prejudice of English authors and publishers , who aro now , however , most amply protected by the act in question . The mere " having them in their possession for sale or hire" exposes them to the penalty of £ 10 for every such effynce , together with double tho value of every such copy of tho work . This very
stringent provision is no more than has long been called for , and threatens those _ who disregad it with almost immediate ruin . It is not only by the . enoing out such pirated copies , but the mere haying them in their possession for such purposes , that this penalty is inourred . Thero are many libraries , especially in the country , tha : keep almost exolusirety such cheap and ftfieJi . ii editions ; but we trust that this prompt intimation of the consequences of 6 uch act ? will enable them to avoid the ruinous visits of the informer—for those gentry are ,-no doubt , on the nlort .

On
examination they were found to contain a number oi ariic ' es of furniture and stores , put up in boxes , which were marked ' 43 rd Regiment : ' the boxi s or cases were perfeotly TOtten , and would not admit of their being removed .

SscREcr undke the Income Tax . —Toe blessings of this tax are now bej ; iunJug to descend on the dovoted heads of a too-confiding public The filling up of the schedules has caused an annoyance second ouly to that of making the payments , and curses both loud and deep are vented on Sir Robert Pod . On the very first day that the returns fere made in this town , the contents of the schehules were known , and were the subject of common conversation !—Devizes Independent . Extraordinary Specimen of Weaving . — -We have recently hid an opportunity of impacting what we believe to be the most extraordinary specimen of the textile art that has yet been ? ecn in this country , produced at the works of Messrs . Jaraos ami Abraham Mever and Co . of Bran enburg , near
Barlin . It contains a medallion portrait of the late King of Prussia , supported by four emblematic female figures , representing Wisdom , Power , Justice , and Mercy , and also a copy of the will of that monarch , and of his well-known addross to his son and successor . The produce of the Prussian loam , however , appears to us greatly superior in delicacy of execution to the French ; and some of the figures , with their draperies , are equal in tff ct to the finest productions of the engraver . Wo understand it is probable that this beautiful and uuiqae specimen , which still belongs to the manufacturers , would , on proper application , bo presented by them to any publio institution in Manchester , where it could be publicly seen ; and wo are quite sure that there is no institution to which it would not do oredit . —Manchester
Guardian , ' The latb Riots at Manchester . —On Thursday a ppeoial session was held at tho Mew Bailey , before Mr . Maude , Mr . J . H . Wanklyn , and Mr . Elias Chadwick , to decide upon tha claims made by certain mill-owners in the borough of Manchester , against the treasurer of the hundreds , for damage done to their mills during the late riots . There wore four claimants , but as the only question was as to the legal responsibility of the hundred to make good the damage done by the rioters within the borough , only one case , that of Mr . Beckton , of the firm of Mesers . Stirling and Baokton , Lower Mosley-8 treet , was gone into . Mr . Charlewood , in
support of the claim , called witnesses , who detailed the circumstances attending the aUaoks upon Mr . Beckton ' fl house on the 9 th , 10 : h , and 11 th of August , and estimated tbe damage at £ 23 . Mr . Rutter , as treasurer of the hundred , opposed the claim on two grounds—fir .-1 , he contended that the damagd done was not within the meaning of the Act 7 and 8 George IV .,-nader which tha claim was made , inasmuch as the object of tha rioters was shown to be merely to turn cui the- hands ; whereas it had been decided , in the case of " Rex v . Thomas , " that there , must bo &n evident intention on the part of the niob to demolisn the property , or , as the act expressed it , " a bogihuiue to pull down ; " and
secondly , he argued , that sinco the establishment of a valid corporation , the borough of . -. Manchester , by the 12 oh section of the Municipal Act , was exempt from county rates , and if the magistrates made an order upon the treasurer of tho county , he had no power to reimburse himself by a rate upon the borough ; the claim , therefore , ought to b # made upon tha borough , and not upon the county or the hundred . Mr . Gqrsb also argued , - on the same sido , that tho borough only waa liable . Mr . Hamilton , for the claimant , cited the act 7 and 8 Georgo IV ., cap . 31 , sec 12 , to ahow tha liability of the hundred ; but fcho Court , through Mr . Maude , decided that the hundred was not longer liable to make compensation for damage done by rioters within the borough , inasmuch , aa ihb borough was exempt from the payment of county rate , except for special purposes named in the Municipal Act , suan as the prosecution of felons at tho assizas . —Manchester Chronicle .
The Queen and the Laird of Ballengeich . — When her Majesty visited Stirling Castle on Tuesday , tho Governor , Sir Archibald Christie , directed the Queen's attention to an old chair which was placed on tho top of the flight of steps leading to his house , which had attached to it , printed upon a piece of white satin , tho following : —** The identical chair on which James V . sat , when the following circumstance , narrated in the Statistical Account happened : —Being once benighted when out a hunting , and separated from his attendants , he happened to enter a cattago in the midst of a moor , at the foot of the Ochil hills , near Alias , where , unknown he was kindly roreived . In order to regale their unexpected guest the endemun ( i . e . landlord , farmer )
desired the gudewife to fetch the hen that roosted nearest the cock , which ia always the plumpest , for tho stranger's supper . Tho king , highly pleased wi" h his ni g ht ' s lodging and hospitable entertainmebt , told mine host at parting , thai he should be glad to return his civility , and requested that the first time he oumo to Stirling he would call at the castle and inquire for the ' Gudenaan of Ballengeich . ' Donaldsou , the landlord , did not fail to call oa the ' Gudeman of Balleugoich , ' when his astonishment at finding that the king had been his guest afforded no small amusement to the merry monarch and his courtiers , and to carry on the pleasantry he was henceforth designated by James with the title of the Kmg of the Moora , which namo and designation have descended from father to son ever sinco , and the ; have continued in poises-ion of the identical spv ., tho property of Mr . Er ^ km ( now Earl ) of Mar ,

A niuety-thr . ee .- Ila would not allow ihe chair to be teased , or even moved , affirming that while he lired no harm should come to it Her Majesty smiled to Sir Archibald , and bore off the priuttd cloth . The chair above-mentioned was brought to Stirling by Mr . Hamilton of tha Falkirk noddy . Ii 'belongs to his wife ' . s relatives at Denny . She herself is grand-daughter of tho last King of the Moors ; and their anxious wish was that Her Majesty should have placed herself in it . This she did not do ; but to gratify ail pirties she touched it , and carried off the anecdote as narrated . We may here notice , as a coincidence , that the p rinted pirce of satin was bound ronnd by Her Majesty's ernbroidero 83 for Scotland , Mrs . Wright , of Edinburgh . —Stirling Observer .
An Awkward Mistake . —Arrest of the Ex-Duke of Brunswick on Suspicion of being Out : of the Swell Mob . —Most of our rpa . dc-. rs ara aware of the extensive robbery committed at Proston on Monday se ' nnight , / hiring ihe celebration of . tho guild , by a party of accomplished swiu- 'lers , who succeeded in introdacing themselves to Mr . J . Marquis , of Accrington , and easing him of his pocketbook , ooHtaining £ 1 , 900 in Bank of England notes and one hundred sovereigns . In tha evening of tho Thursday following a dashingly-attired foreigner entered one of the hotels in that town and called for a pint of wino , tendering a £ o Bank of England note in payment . The waiter h : ivi »;<; heard a description of the person by whom the robbery of Mr . Marcuis
had been effected , fancied that the personal appliance of the Etrange guest tallied with that of cue of the parties implicated in the thcit ; and this supposition was converted into almost absolute certainty whon the former withdrew from hiB purse a note of the identical b » rik whosepromissory obligations constituted the bulk of tha ' . stokn property . Fired wiih the supposed discovery , ho communicated hia subpiciqns to the proprietor of the hotel , who concurred in the piobability of the supposition , and despatched a messenger in quest of a policeman , who was ushered into the room where the supposed " conveyancer " was luxuriously reclining on an ottoman , and bumming snatches of an opera , tune , whenhisprivacy was thus rudely disturbed . The constable , without
ceremony , marched up to the sofa , grasped his occupant , by the collar , and after stating the nature of the charge against him , blandly desired the favour oi his company to tha station-house . Words are wanting to deEcribo the mingled air of rag 3 and astonishment with which the " strange gentlemen " reo « ived this intimation and its accompanying infringement of personal liberty . For somo moments'he seemed deprived of utterance , but at length his topguo returned its office , whon in terms of indignation and dJBJain , he haughtily repelled the charge , declaring himself no less a personage than the Duke of Brunswick . ThiB avowal , however , was disregarded by the policeman and his abettors , who considered it a mare aitifice resorted to in the hope of Overawing
them ; and in spite of his earnest protest against bucU a proceeding , dragged hira to the police-office , a distance of from four to five hundred yards , a crowd of pe rsons following , attracted by the rumoured detection of one of the scoundrels , by whom Mr . Marquis has been plundered . Oa arriving there the stranger reiterated his former declaration , and in proof of his assertions , referred to the owner of the mansion where he had taken up his stay , and also to several distinguished individuals whom he named . On inquiry this statement proved correct , and , his Serene Highness , after being literally overwhelmed with apologies and protestations ot regret for the blunder which had placed him in so awkward
» predicament , took his departure , accompanied by Baron Andrau , his equerry , who reached the stationhouse at the moment of his royal master ' s liberation . The dethroned prince , we understand , has since recoived from Samuel Horrocks , Esq ., tho worthy mayor of Preston , a most handsome apology for the unintentional affront , with which his Jlighness has expressed himself satisfied , and thus ends the matter . The festival of the guild exhibited many sights worthy of special commemoration ; but tbe spectacle of a deposed rufcr , allied to the most illustrious reigning families of Europe , being dragged to a police-office on a charge of pocket-picking , is , wo may safely assert , wiihoat parallel . —Lancaster Guardian .

Burning op a National School-house . —The Belfast Vindicator , contains the folio wing , from which it appears that the denunciations against the ' * National Board " have not been wholly unavailing : — "A national school house waa bnrned in Cuialeeky ia tho course of the last month . The Cornojisaii'iKTS consented to continuo to the master the salary , provided he could procure any house in which the children might be accommodated . The owner of a house which was promised to the master for tin ' s purpose , received a threatening letter , informing him that his tenement would suffur tbe same fate . Tha outrage
was investigated at the Ballymena Petty Sessioas on the 29 ch and 30 th of August , but nothing tangible could bo elicited boyond the deposition of a witness , that the threatening notice was written in the hand ot a certain psrson . Ia the course of the examina tion of witnesses it appeared that in that district a strong party prejudice prevailed against the National Board , as beiug identified with' Popery . ' Tais is passing strange , as the patron of the school is a minister of that communion . The Government have offered a reward of £ 20 ior the apprehension oi tho offender .- * . "

Fatal Accident to J . B . Wilson , Esq ., Banker of York . —It is with the most painful feelings that we record the premature death of oue of our most respdctabio citizens , which took place on Thursday morning last under very distressing circumstances . Mr . Wilson was ou a visit at the country-house of hia brother , Thomas Wilson , Esq ., at Fulford ; and on the fatal morning be took breakfast with his friends , and appeared as usual . After breakfast he went out about eleven o ' clock , and , being a fine morning , walked down to a retired situation on the bank . of the Ouae , with an intention to bathe . He threw his clothes off , laid them on the bank , placed his gold watch upon the clothes , and thon incautiously plunged into the water . Unfortunately the deceased had mistaken tbe place , there being a
shallow part of the water near , to which bathers often resorted , but the place he entered being of very great depth , He could not swim ; and it is supposed that he met with a watery grave almost immediately . About twelve his clothes were found lying on the bank , and search was immediately made tor the body . It was soon found ; and a coroner ' s inquest was held the same evening , when the case waa bo clear that the jury , without hesitation , returned a verdict of " Found drowned . " Various rumours ( as usual ; were soon afloat , but the above are tbe facts ; and there is no donbt whatever but that tho dreadful event was purely accidental . Mr . Wilson was a gentleman of unassuming manners , and of a kind disposition . He was highly respected iu lifo ; and his melancholy fate is deeply lamented by every inhabitant of the city . — York Herald .
Di . st 3 uciivb Fire in Makchektke . —The large cotton Mill of Messrs . Lookwood and Thornton , Blackfriars-street , Salford , seven stories in height , was discovered to be on fire in the lower story , ^ between five and six o ' clock on Saterday morning , and in an almost incredible abort timo was completely devoured by the flames , in spite of the most stronuouB exertions to subdue the fire . Six engines were shortly on the spot , and aoofl after their arrival an immense body of water was poured into the factory from all six engines , but it was of no avail . After this experiment the efforts of the police were directed to the surrounding property , and it was fortunate that nearly a dead calm prevailed , or the whole of Blackfriars-Btreet would
most certainly have been consumed . Although same rumour of incendiarism prevailed , it is now considered tolerably certain that it was a pure accident , having originated in what is termed the blowing room , and is supposed to have been caused by friction from one of the shafts . From tho basement story thero is a communication from room to room to the top of the factory by means of a kind of basket or tub , whicli ia hoisted up through trapdoors in each story . Through these places the flames immediately spread through the factory , and with suoh ' astonishing speed that the work people , who had only jast begun labour , were compelled to make a precipitate retreat from the spot , most of them wiih the loss of some portion of wearing apparel . Such was the rapidity with which the fUn-es spread , that in little more than two hoor 3 the whole edifice may be said to have beoome little
better than smoking ruins , not a vestige of the property having been saved , except the books of the concern . For somo time considerable alarm was experienced lest an explosion of the boilers should take place , they having been filled with wator for tho day , and ic vras apprehended that should the Are heat them red hot , the quantity of steam which would in consequence be geaerated would cause a tremendous blow up ; buc , either from the safety valves proving how safe and efficacious they are , or from some other cause , the anticipated event did not happen . Nothing is now standing of the immense edifice but the ruins of a portion of the walls . The damage is variously estimated , but the most probable amount is £ 13 , 000 . Tne machinery and stock was insured to cho amount of £ 9000 , and it is said the building is also insured , but of this fact we arc not certain .

The day was beautifully fine until about four o'clock ; and the wickets having been pitched at ten , the game was nearly concluded before tbe commencement of s very smart shower , which , though it did not prevent the termination of tbe match , went far to mar the pleasures of the numerous oompany who bad assembled , not only to witness tbe game , but to hear the beautiful strains of the splendid band of the regiment , which , by the orders of the gallant colonel , attended , and greatly enlivened tbe scene by their excellent performances . The play on the part ef the Brunswick Cinb was greatly admired ; they were evidently an overmatch for their opponents The following score will show tbe result of tbe day ' s play : —

Total 132 6 LEEDS . —North Ward Meeiing . —A meeting was held at the H&iewood Arms , on Monday evening last , to nominate a candidate for the North Ward at the forthcoming election for Town Councillors . Mr . Thomas liram&tt w&s called to the chaiTi A vote of thanks was proposed to the retiring Councillor , Mr . Watson , jun ., for bis services to the North Ward BnrgesseB . This was opposed on the gronad that he had never rendered any services to the Bnrgesses , which were beneficial to them either in a local or political point of view ; the proposition wi ? , of course , lost to tho great disappointment of the Whiff :. The next proposition was , that Mr . William Hornby , tobacconist , be . nominated as candidate on the first ef November . It was then requested by Mr . William Birou and others , that Mr . Hornby should be present , and givo a statement of his political opinions , and also of his
views with respect to the local affairs of the town , as this was a period which rendered such a s-tep necessary to the bnrgesses , who ought to know the opinions of the men whom they were called upon to support before they gave a decision . An amendment was therefore proposed , That the meeting adjourn to Tuesday , September 27 th , at eight o ' clook in the evening , and that Mr . Hornby be in the interim communicated with , requestiug his attendence at the adjourned meeting , for the purposo above named . " The amendment was carried by an overwhelming majority . Burgesses of the North Ward ! attend the next meeting ! Shew to the factions that you are determined to have a man that will advocate your rights in the council , and contend for a reduction of the abominable and extravagant expenditure of the public money , and a reduction of the police force . This is an important crisis ! therefore let every burgess be there , and rally round a man of their own choice .
