THE BANNER OF GREEN . Tha Tories come forth ^ ith their banneri of blue , All straightforward tyrants , well give them their due ; Prolnse witti their money , but fierce in their wrath , The darkaess of faction endangers their path . TBey sprung from the b : ooi and th « refuse of war , The fame of their murder was echoed afar ; And still on the vitals of freedom they feed , And tyranny writes the dark page of their creed . The Vhiss they come next , -with their banner of flame , The friends cf the people in nothing , but name ; They wheedle and tell you economy ' s plan . Them starve and imprison you , aye , to a man . These political toll-bars , they keep . von away From the broad land of liberty , truth , and fair play : If you Talue the -weal of the many—the poor , You ¦ will EUad " neatli the Whigs and their banner ns more .
Bat hurrah for young liberty , dauntless in mien , Hurrah , gallant lids , for "the banner of green ;" Let tyrants and fools smile on yellow and blue , We'll Etiil to our own spotless flig rsmain true . The day will arrive when oppression will cease , When freedom shall wear her bright laurels in peace Then wherever the dwelling of man can be Been , How proudly shall wave " the gay banner of green .

HALIFAX . —On Monday -week , the member of the Loyal Trafalgar Lodge , No . 454 , of the Manchester tnity of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows , in the Halifax diitrict , held their anniversary in the Royal Hotel and Odd Fellows' Kail Tap , when upwards of 130 members sac down to an elegant and substantial diuner , provided by Mr . and Mrs .

At the White " mil colliery there are
about seventy black sheep , pretending to hew coal , thej are ( I am told ) a most wretched set , consisting of some of the worst characters in the county of Edinburgh ! They are not colliers ; some are country labourers , and some who never before laboured at all . Indeed the great part of these miserable cowardly Black Nebs are the very refnse of society ; getting these mean fellows to pretend to work , is an artful dodge , got up to frighten the poor colliers into work ; but the brave lads see through the trick , and will not be caught . As might be expected , these fellows taking the colliers work , has greatly exasper&ted the latver , and it is feared they will be attacked ; however , I wculd advise them to let them alone ; they will shortly find their own level . Colliers ! treat them with silent contempt ; your oppressors would be glad to catch you breaking the law ; avoid the trap \—Correspondent .
CARLISLE . —Lectthes ox Socialism . —Mr . itobtn Owen delivered a course of three lectures in our Theatre last week . There was a pretty numerous and respec'able attendance each evening . He was li-tened to throughout with the greatest attention ; and his kcrtnes , which were loualy applauded , no : only g .-. ve preat delight to his friends and admirers , but were weil received by the public . H : s suljrc : s were " the Causes of , and cnlj Remedy for , the existing distress , difficulties , and dangers ws : ch perrjee the Manufacturing and Agricultural Population of Great Britain and Ireland . " In his firs : lecture , he dwelt on the ' Science of Society , " which , he raid , was divided into four grand elements , namely , arrangements to produce wealth , arrangebii
: * -s to cis . ribute ihat wealth , arrangements to form the human character ^ 2 nd arrangements to goTertjlocaiiy and generally , beneficially for all . At pte-tiit , these elements , over the world , were in the man rsiidem confusion ;—there had been no wisdom or foresight ci-played ; and the most incongruous and injurious proportions existed in every part ol" society . Mr . Ovren contended that socieiy was bow in possession of ail the materials , in the greatest abundance , which would charge the present wretched system of ignorance and misery , for a state superior to any vet experienced by the human race . He proceeded — When I first entered into life , the manufacturing sjstem was about commencing in this country . I was early deeply involved in it . 1 very soou saw the cS as which must grow op from it , and could trace its ul imate consequence ? . These consequences were no ; oulv foretold by me , but I published it at
tne time , and the publication is now on record . I titn stated west has exactly occurred at the present day . At that period our population was not more than fifteen millions in Great Britain and Ireland ; and these fifteen millions produced , under the then arrangt mn's of society , before the people were taken in o mill * and iactorie ? . a manual power of about three million ?—one fifth of the population . These were sss ' sted by the old machinery , and the single Epit-King wheel . All the thread " was then spun a siDfje thread at a tiXEe upon the cottage Wheel . This had cot been alter .-d for many hundred y ? ais , and amounted to about the labour of twelve millions . These were assisted by i be labour of the three millions , making fifteen mili / . ins ; thus the combined productive power cf science and labour wtre just equal to the popnla'ion , or the population 3--Q producive power siood 83 one to one " .- In the Jfar 1799 1 purchased of the partners the e ^ a-blishment of > ew Lanark , in Scotland , and I fou ^ d by
mj calculations that wun the working pa *** oi that-population , amounting to about 1 , 800 out o"f a population of 2 5 ' .-fj , and the machinery discovert by Arkwrijrht acd Wa : t , that the 1 , 800 individuals were producing as much , as upon the old plan of a Regie thread wcu ! d have required a ; pcLulation of 600 , 000 . >' ow . observe this angle fact , and it will lead jour minds to a right conclusion . They thus icunediateJy lost the difference of the market be-. tween the consumption of 2 , 500 and 600 , 000 . It was j by this disproportion of increase , and the markets of i the world , that , for the first time in the history of > the human race , we were now starvinR from pro- < not
dicing too much , and because we have senBei «? ° ngh to know how to apply this mechanical power . ] r « ow , what his been , the change in that time ! Our , population has not jet been doubled , bat the in- 1 cre&se of scientific power has been from twelve milhonB to upwards of EeveB hundred millions , or j ttore than twentv to one of the population . It is i ^ 6 sa as if " an individual had twenty slaves worfang morning and night , who neither eat , drink , j Dor wear clothes , and yet this individual was in a : W oj * e condition than when he had only one slave ;} and the people of this highly Christian country- are ; aowm the most , degraded condition , and suffering j stress which is accumulating upon them .

1 thi-, By friend ? ? It shows there ha ? b ? en somo-! thing fundamentally wroug in the foundation of society ; for if society had been based upon a sound ! principle—if those who ruled the world had nnder-! st > od what was going forward—what thia power : was , and how to give it a wise direction , the re-1 salts would have been the very opposite of those which ¦ have taken place , and wa might now have ¦ had as well-employed and well-educated populaj tion . " Mr . Owen continued at some length to show I that from the misapplication of machinery , through I a system of individual interests , and scientific power i being brought into competition wiih manual labour , I that the hours oflabour , nad been lengthened , and the ' physical , mental , and moral condition of the
populai tion h * d been deteriorated to a frightful degree ; and i stated it & £ his opinion that if machinery had been I employed under a system of united interests , the labour of man might ba abridged to four hours a day . ' After alluding to the injury to socitty and the bad ¦ feelings generated , from land , labour , capital , and ! skill being , separate and conflicting interests , Mr . ; Owen concluded his first lecture by some remarks ! upon the effect of what aro callad the learned pro-J fessions—npon the happiness of mankind . —In his j second lecture Mr . Owen entered into his peculiar ' views of tbaformation of human character , centend-. ing that any general character , from a very inferior i to a very superior being , might be given to any
tndti vidual by the society amongst whom he was born . ! Some written questions were handed in at the J close of each lecture , to which he replied . ! The third lecture was on the Milennial state of j existence , which he contended would br produced by ! the adoption , of his views . All the preaching in the 1 world he maintained would never produce " peace j on earth , good will to man , " until practical ari rangements were formed for removing the strife , j contention and injustice generated by a system of I individual interest ' and competition . At the close j of this lecture , a great many questions were put , ; principally of a theological character , to which repH ^ Vere given .

Thia ia a puint of j attack which has been bu ; too much neglected iu j almost every town in the kingdom by the people . j The people posses- a power iu these ma . tte . r 3 which i they have not been properly alive to ; and it is one ! of the most cheering aspects of the limes to see them 1 set about their own work in earnest . Dundee Las j fora number of successive years bearded the factions j at the local elections , but this yearpronnses a reward j to their labours beyond their most sanguiue expecta-| tions . The election of police commissioners ( twenty-! two in number ) took place about ten day- ; aj ; o . The , Chartists set to work in a business-like manner .
I Upon the other side , public houses were opened , ; and whiskey dealt out freely without money and j without price .

So vast and unprecedented have bpen the shoals of herrings this season apon the Margate coast , thst the Jane , one of the fishing smack .

Gigantic Skeleton . —A few weeks sine ? , while digging in a tan-pit at Mr . M'Intosh ' s works , about ; a mile and a quarter west from Grangemouth , the | workmen came upon several very large bones of the ! posterior extremities of an immensely large horse , ! abent six feet from the surface , imbedded in blue : clay . The stratum of clay is about foriy-two fee : ' . thick . Afterwards , it was resolved to exhume the | skeleton , and care was taken , on removing the 1 superstrata , to ascertain if it had beeu a buried
animal . The npper ttrata was about twerty inches thick , and there was no moisture in the clay ; it appeared just to have been gradually covered . The skeleton was a very large one ; from the fore teeth to the back part of the skull was two feet , and by the teeth , he had beeu about five years old at his death . ¦ The -shoe- ? were upon the feet ; at the greatest breadth they are fiTe and a half inches and , although considerably worn , one weighs lib . I 4 cz . imperial . The bones are reddish coloured , and appear much like those found at Bannockburn . From the depth in which it was imbedded , and the shoes having also been foHnd upon it , it must have loun been buried , aud is probably one of the horses kilied at the first battle of Filkirk . A part of the English army wculd likely be upon the spot where it was found on the day of the battle . —Stirling Observer . "
Shipwreck , and strange Story op the Survivors . —A Corre-por ^ eut , who witnessed tbe circumstances related below , tives the following account of them : — During the storm of Tuesday last , the 25 th , a ship was wrecked at this place ( Eastbourne ) under the fo . lowing extraordinary circcmstsnc < s . It strikes me , that the particulars ought to be made known . Soon after four o'clock a vessel was seen coming round Beachy-bead very near to the land ; and it soon was evident that ahe would shortly be on shore . In a few minutes she struck on a ledge of rock-, called the BolJer-ridge , very nearly opposite to the sea-houses . We could distinctly read hrr name as she reeled round , " Wat , ol Piymou ' . h . " The most inienso anxiety pervaded
every class of the numerous spectators . No boat , except the life boat , could venture to put off , without a certainty of destruction ; ai . d many impatiently began to exolaim , Where is tin * life-boat ? Why do they delay 3 But it soon was shown that the persons to wh&m the care of hf = r was intrusted were waiting , not from fear or indifference , but most wisely . She was carried on wheels about half a mile westward , and ihen was launched . It was a most beautiful sight to see how rapidly and yet how steadily she cut through the foaming waves . And when she came away wiih every one of the crew rescued and safe , her approach to land was more like an arrow from a bow , than the motion of a boat . I am afraid to s = iy for how many yards she came on the crown
of one tremendous wave , which threw her high on the beach . The crew consisted of the chief irate , four me . D , and two boys j and the report they make is this : — They formed part of the crew of the Jine London , of Miramachi , aud were returning homu from Liverpool ( which plhce they kit August 25 ) , when in the Gulf of St . Lawrence , lat . 45 , 30 Is ., longitude 38 A W ., - they neaTed tbe Watt , laden with timber , and hailed her . The crew said she had nine ieet of water in the hold , andj that they were about tc abandon her , and this they did the next day . About two hours afterwards these men from the Jane London took possession of her , and for nearly six weeks have been in much difficulty L"nd distress . In want of provisions , and worn-out , 51 i -d fearing lest they should all perich in the storm , the ¦* resolved to run her on shore at Eastbourne . Con * 'derablo fospicion w ? b raised as to the truth of ral inion is that it
their ' r . P * » * " »* . geneop now is correct . They say it was their intention to take her to the fir 1 - "t port tDe J reached , four or five boats are busily emp ^ J *** ftom ™ or Qill 8 n * gQt in bringing her cstieo > . ^»» reTJ 6 lie timber , on shore . As a stranger I ca XlDOt Dut admire the judgment , zeal , and integrity ibieh all persons in any manner brought into eon t *<* with thiB accident have shown throughout . Since writing the above , I have had an opportunity of examining more closely into this extraordinary case , a ^ d feel little or no doubt that their story is quite tru ' e . They had no boat , and though they had an anchor , they had not strength enough to use it . They ha ^ do chart of the Channel , and when they first saw land , it was the Isle of Wight , which they mistook r . ^ r Beachy-head , and when they came to Eeacby-heau they c ^ siderea H to be the iouth Foreland .

A FitiCA . —Intelligence ha 3 been received from Western Africa to the second August . It announces tne return to Fernando Po of the Queen ' s sttamsr , W llberforce , from the ascent of the Niger to ( he model-farm of the African Civilizition Society , and the bringing away of all the people and properly M \ by the Niger expedition . Tiie Wilberforoe ascended under command of Lieutenant Webb , with eight or ten Europeans , who volunteered from Fernando" Fo ; the- rest of the ship's company being native Africans . With the exception of the commander , and one of the volunteersall
, rhe Whites were laid up withsickness before the Wilberforce reached the coast ; and latterly the engine had been worked by a Black boy , who had learnt its management on board Mr . Jamie ^ on ' s steamer Ethiope ; the engineers being sick with the rest . " Such a wreck of property" says a private letter from Liverpool . " as was landing at Clarence Cove never was seen . " The natives had not molested the people at the model-farm ; but itlr . Car , who attempted to ascend from the coast in a canoe , had , it is supposed , been murdered in the Nun river .
Fatal Accident . —On the morning of Thursday last , a most , melancholy and fatal acoident occurred at Barr Mill , in the parish of &eith . A boy named Noble Prentice , about thirteen years of age , had mounted a laddor to put a bell upon a wheel , thonch this was no part of his duty , and boys had been strictly prohibited by the proprietor from domn so . In an instant he was seized by the machinery , and his body mangled ia a most shocking manner . His arms were torn from the trnnk , and his head completely severed from his body . As no eye wa ? upon him when the accident happened , it is not known how it originated . The breaking of the bell aud the crash of the body were the first intimations of the melancholy event to those who were in the room . Ths wheel revolves about thrice in a second , and consequently his death must have been instantaneous . His widowed mother was at the time
working in another rom , and her agony at the sigus , and while assisting in collecting the bleeding and quivering members of the boay of her Bon , muy easily be imagined . The remains w « re committed to the grave the same evening . —Ayr Observer . The Late Mr . Bibby of Liverpool . —Invrstt-GAxro . v at Kibkdale . —Shortly after twelve o ' ciook on Friday , Henry Simpson and William Rudol fid were brought up in custody at Kirkdale Court-house , on a charge of having been concerned in the murder of the late Mr . Bibby , who , it will be recollected , was found dead in a pit near Bootle , on the morning
of the 18 th of July , 1840 , under circumstances of a mysterious character , and which gave rise to a suspicion that he had been unfairly dealt with . Simpson , who is a yonng man of respectful demeanour , was the individual who drove the unfortunate gentlemen from the Royal Bank in that town to Bootle on the night of the fatal occurrence , and Radcliffe had been a policeman on duty on that night in the vicimty of the scene . After a Ion- ; and patient investigation into all the circumstances of the case , the magistrates came to the decision that there did not appear sufficient evidence to justify them is committing the prisoners , who were forthwith discharged .
Frightful Explosio . v . — Between three and four o ' clock on Wednesday afternoon last the inh&bhauts of West Coliingwood were thrown into great consternation by a loud explosion . It was quickly ascertained that the explosion had occurred at the residence of a man named Pinner , a manufacturer of fireworks , and the first object that presonied itself to the nersons who ran to the spot was the ; lifeless body of Pinner , ljing amidst a quantity of bricks , shattered pieces of of wood , & . o ., whilst the entire of the upper story of the house was completely carrried away . Tne body of an old man , an assistant to Pinner , was likewise found shockingly disfigured lying atthbback of the premises . No signs oflife were perceivable in Pinner or the old man . On proceeding up the stairs of the house , the lower part , extending
to the floor of the second story , which was left standing uninjured , it was discovered that every vestige of the roof , walls , and the various articles which had been ia the upper room , had entirely desappearcd . Jainbed against the lower part of the wall of the first s ory , and near the top of the stairs , was the body of a ! ad , aj £ ed fourteen , with the features dreadfully disfi ^ -ared and tha bdy blackened and mutilated . From the statement of an older / y woman who was engaged by Pinner to superintend his domestic affairs , it appears that a large quantity of gunpowder had lately been placed in the upper room for the purpose of making tireworkfl for the fifth of November , but in wiiat manner the explosion was caused remains a mystery . Several windows in the neighbouring houses were smashed in , and a number of chimneypots thrown down by the explosion .
Miracitlocs Escape . —A most alartnin ? accident occurred a few evenings aeo on the Brandling Junction Railway—a whole passenger train having be 6 n thrown oif the line , and the carriages tumbled topsyturvy over an embankment eight or nine feet hi ^ h , and yet the passengers , of whom there were between forty and fifty , escaped without having sustained the slightest injury . The particulars of this occurrence are briefly these : —The seven o'clock train from Sunderiand to Newcastle started as usual , and peoceeded to near whero the railway crosses Cleadonlane , where the engineer felt some slight interruption aud immediately turned off the steam . The train was then moving at tbe . rate of about fifteen miles an hour . The sensation was but momentary , but the
direction of the engine waa suddenly changed , it having left the line , and was approaching diagonally the edge of a ( earful precipice , formed by the embankment of tha railway , about eight or nine feet in hei g ht . The engineer and his assistant maintained their positions on the engine with the greatest composure , which in the end proved most fortunate , for had they leaped off they would , in all probability , have lost their lives . On the engine went , followed by its tender , over the embankment , through a quickset hedgo at the bottom , into the adjoining field , aud waa finally brought to a stand-still teveral yards from the- railway . The engine maintained its ereci position the whole time , and sustained no injury , with the exception of the pipe which carries the
water from th « tender to tne boiler , and whioh wa < broken asunder . The engine-man instantly opened the safety-valve , to allow the e = capeof the steam , and then descended from his perilous position . In the meantime , the most heartrending cries were heard from the carriage ? , which were thrown together in a state of indescribable confusion . There were five carriages , two of them being first-class and three secoEd-class , attached to the eDgine . Fortunatly , the connecting rod between the tender and the first , carriage broke , sad thus separated the engine from the train . The first carriage remained upon the line ; the next , being dissev . r ^ d from its companions , was thrown over the embankment ; the next , a first-oiass carriage , was crushed against the following one , and all the others were partially overturned , some of them having been thrown over the embankment .
against which they rested obiiqely at the bottom . The scene at thi 3 moment waa horryfying in the *> xtretne . Some of the passengers were escaping by t tie windows which were uppermost ; oihorscrept below ; men , women , and children were geen scrambling over , round , and bmcath the vehicles , anxious to secure their own safety . On proceeding a few yards down the line , the cause of the accident was soon discerned . There lay the mutilated remains of a horse , which had evidently strayed upon the line from one of the adjoiuing fields . It was cut completely iu pieces . Intelligence of the catastrophe was socvn conveyed to the next station , and also to Sunderinnd , ana assistance was instan . iy despatched . Happily , medical aid was not required . Tiie engine ana car riages did no injury to the way , and the tight o ' clock train traversed it as though nothing had occurred .
A Delicate affair in High Lite . —A noble Prince has long been attached to the eldest daughter of a Noble Duke , whose tamily , on one side , claims certain consanguinity with that of the Sovereign . The result of the mutual passion existing on the par of the Prince and the lady , renders au atonement by marriage now absolutely necessary . The lady is iu a way to becomo amothfr , and , in the short spact of three months , will enjoy the blessings , or feel the pant ? , of maternity . Her Ladyship ' s situation is , of course , now unable to be any Jonger concealed ; and her father has communicated with the Prince ' s father upon the subject . His Royal Highness immedietaly assented to the necessity of an union between his son and the Noble Lady ; and the Prince
himself is anxious to make the reparation which lies in his power . But , according to the terms of the Royal Marriage Act , which was passed in the time of George III . no member of tho Royal Family can espouse any one without the previously-obtained consent of the . Sovereign . Were the Prince and the Lady in question to be united wi hout rmch consent , the marriage would bo illegal , and the offspring thereof illegitimate . The Queen has , therefore , been applied to , in tbe present emergency ; and Her Majesty has , we 1 earn , refused her sanction to the union ; and all attempts to induce her to alter her decision are vain . Her . Majesty ' s consent is not alone sufficient ; that of the Privy Council must also be obtained , after a year ' s notice formally given . Her Majesty ( or her Privy Council ) argues thus : — " It is possible my children may die ; then comes the King of Hanover , who is very old ; af ; er him , Prince George of Hanover , who is very sickly ;
next the Duke of Sussex ; and then the Duke of Cambridge . Now , if all these « vent 3 were to happen , the Prince alluded to would stand an excellent chance of assuming the sceptre also . In this oase , a subject becomes the Queen of England , should the Prince at present espouse the lady , and such a contingency , however remote and improbable it may appear , must not be allowed to exist . " So , we hear , reasons the Queen ; and we should suppose her deci .-ion is also backed by tbe advice of at least some of her Ministers and advisers ; we eay M eome , " because we can Btate , npen aathoritf , that the Duke of Wellington is in favour of the union . Snrely this young Prince , who is 60 ready to make atonement tor the injury he has inflicted upon a too confiding girl , should be allowed the full and free exercise of his most honourable and praieevrorthy sentiments and intentions , and abandon his right to the succession . He might even do thia by professing to be a Roman Ciuhelie .

The " merchant , '' it seems , owea considerable Bums of money to various parties both on the Continent aad iu Eagland , and in order to " make a purse , " he ttumped up tho tale , and absconded to Brussels , whuher he has been pursued and arrested by a creditor to whom he was indebted about £ 1000 .
Dreadful Death . —On Sunday morning a Mrs . Shearman , residing at High-street , Lambeth left home for the purpose of seeing her husband , who is an inmate of Guy ' s Hospital , having met with an accident ten days ago , looking ia her four children , a ^ ed fifteen , five , and four years , and an infant fourteen months old , and a- neighbour ' s child aged three years . On her return home at half-past tea o ' ciook she fonnd the infant and one of her sisters sitting before the fire , the former much burnt about the bead , and the other child informed her mother that Sarah ( the eldest child ) waa dead , and lying np in
the garret , and oa the poor creature going up stairs she was horror-struck at finding the remains of the poor girl burnt to a cinder , lying on a bundle of rags . Search was made for the other two children , who were found unhurt in an out-house in the garden . From the statement of the second child it appears that the deceased was in the act of putting a saucepau on the fire , whon her clothes caught fire , and in an instant she was in an entire blaza . That she made for the garret stairs , where she sat until the whole of her clotnes were burnt off , aud then crawled to the bed , on which she was found as above described .
Curious Coincidence . —Law !—A proof of the " glorious uncertainty of the law" was shown at the last quarter sessions for the county of Dorset . Two men were inciioted jointly for a felony ; upon being called u ? to plead guilty or not guilty , one of them pleaded " guilty , " and the other " not guilty . " At that moment an attorney stepped up to the prisoner who pleaded guilty , and told him he was employed to defend him ; the prisoner then withdrew bis plea of guilty , and pleaded not guilty . The trial proceeded , and at the close the jury acquitted the one who had at first pleaded guilty , and convicted the other who had pleaded not guilty , —Sherborne Journal .
Mutiny in Newcastle Gaol—It appears that above thirty snidiersiof the 61 st Regiment , who are prisoners in Newcastle Gaol , having been convicted by court martial for various military offcuces , and sentenced to different poriods of imprisonment , broke out into open mutiayjand refused to work , alleging that the food was so bad that they were hungering . Several of the magistrates went to the gaol for the purpose of investigating the circumstances , the result of whioh will , no doubr , be satisfactory . — Newcastle Journal . On the arrival of the Elk engine at Nine Elms , on Tuesday night , with the six o ' clock train from Southampton , a lark was found in'tho ash-pan ( within b ; x inches of the firo-bars ) . which had received no further injury from this novel species of bird-trap than tho singing of a few tai -leathers . It is uoiv in the possession of the engine-driver , aad appears quite lively .
Ai thk late Ruinford Quarter Sessions , the magistrate had occasion to desire a policeman to fetch into the conrt " two Ik . drafs . " Tho mac , a fine specimen of the animal for which Essex is so famous , instead of g '< itig to the bank , took the note to a chemist's , and returned into caurt with black draughts , which the worthy magistrate took ( into his ha . ud ) , aniidKt a roar of laughter from the bench . A Libehal Nobleman . —Cashiobury House , with its parks and gardens , has been open to the public every Monday and Thursday throughout tho year for many years past . The hours of admission to the house and gardens are from eleven to one in
the morning , and from two to five in the afternoon . Admittance to the park is free at all times . These regulations were established by tho late Earl of Essex , who was delighted that the public should thus share in the enjoymeut of fhis estate and possessions . We have heard that he even lent his plate to the pic-nic parties who frequented the Swiss Cottage in the grounds , until home ono repaid his generosity by dishonesty . Still the public are allowed to us' 2 this cottage for the same purpose : nv . my pie nic parties consequently come off here , and vans filled with visitors from the metropolis come to Cashiobury . —Aiharuzum .
NoimiLEACii House of Correction . —The following reply from Sir James Graham has been received to the memorial addressed to him as Secretary of State by the Jury npon the late unfortunate sufferer Bcale : — 14 Whitehall , Oct . 27 , 1842 . " Sir , —I am direoted by Secretary Sir Jamea Graham to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25 ; a instant , enclosing a memorial from the inquest Jury which sat on the body of Charles Beale , late a prisouer in Northleach House of Correction , and to acquaint you that before he received your communication , he had taken measures lor having a full inquiry made into the matters to which your letter refers-.

The Late Ati"f . mpted Murder in Dundee . — We understand thar James Duff , the unfortunate sufferer in tho l « a diobolical deed , has steadily improved for soino days baok , and that hopes are now entertained of his recovery . He still lies in the cottage where he fir > t found a shelter , and was able on Saturday to be taken from bed a few minutes to allow it to be made up . During the last week Mackenzie was examined by the authorities , and as tho precognition is not yet closed , 'it is not true , as reported in other papers , that he has been committed / or triaL Another report has got afloat , that Mackenzie ' s wife gave premature birth to a child , and is since deed . There is no truth in this report cither . The pi-tol has not yrt been recove'ed . A broker was brought over from Edinburgh who sold a pistol to a man answering the description of Maokenzie ; but on being confronted with him , we understand , rofused to swear positively that Mackenzie was the man . —Dundee Warder .
Fatal Shipwreck . —It is our painful duty to record tho total loss of the schooner Friends , of Carlisle , with ali hands on baard . The Friends sailed from Port Carlisle for Liverpool on Friday , the 21 st inst , ladt-n with alabaster , with a crew of . four bauds . There was a stiff broezo blowing at the timo from N . N . E . Towards midnight the wind veered round to tho westward , blowing a complete hurricane , and in endeavonnng to return up iho Solway Firth the ill-fated vessel Btruok upon Robin Higg , and in a short time became a total wreck . Tho master of the vessel , Captain Baxter , was l . ighly esteemed among a wide circle of friends and acquaintances on both tides of the border , and tho sympathy expressed on the loss of so good a man is well wortny the occasion . A portion of the bulwarks and the foremast have betn washed ashore at Aliunby , but no trace of the hull of the vessel haa yet been observable . —Carlisle Journal .
Canada . —The Halifax Morning Post of the 18 th inst . gives , in a second edition , later news from Canada than that derived from tho New York papers . Mr . Baldwin had been defeated by a majority of 41 . Mr . Murray , the Conservative cauuidate , had consequently been returned . Mr . Lafontaine had defeated Mr . Roe , and carried hie re-election . The P arliament was prorogued on the 12 ch instant , by Sir Charles Ragot , with a short speech , simply thanking the Legislature for tho zeal and assiduity with which they had considered and perfected the measnrrs of the session , as well aa for the supplies thoy had voted , and exhorting the members to use their personal influence in their several districts to promote tho harmony and good feeling which it had been his endeavour to establish .
Dreadful Collision at Sea . —A letter from Capt . Jumr-a Codman , jun ., of the ship Sarah Parker , at New York from Singapore , to the owners in this city , tells the following fearful story : — "The collision took place on the I 3 ' , h of Septemb-r , in lat . 34 17 N ., lonsr ., 49 02 W ., during the night , in one of thos 8 trcmci ; duou 8 squalls which happen in the variables . The ship wa 3 Koing about ten knots at the time , and the uarkuess so great that I oould not sco the brig at the iubtant of strkicg , though 1 had been looking to lecwavd but on instant before , and was then standing by the main rigging , and all tho watch at stations , to clue down the fore and main topsails , if necessary . I had already clewed down the mizen topsail , the squaM being very violent from W . by S . <
and vho ship steering N . N . W . The brig must have been goin . i ; very rapidly also . She showed no light , and 1 think had not the rain made it so Egyptian dark , they mi ^ ht have Been onrajwhicb . ia constantly burning in the night , and bhines from the deck-house windows . Poor fellows ! they must have sunk , as they were seen very near about twenty minutes after , and at daylight nothing could be seen , though we lay by , and it became nearly calm soon . after losing eight of the brig . I could render no assistance , as we had to strain every nerve to keep afbat , which we only accomplished by the quiet , and at the same time energetic , behaviour of tbe men , who kept thajr stations ,
and obeyed my orders with as little confusion as if we were practising evolutiona for amusement , and after getting clear , as I have said above , worked well and quick . Much credit is due to the chief officer and carpenter ( in fact they are both carpenters ) for their indefatigable exertions in repairing , as well as to all handp , for in thirty-six hours wo had eighteen new timbers in and three streaks planked up and chimed , and made some sail on our course with alight brecz * It was , however , a long time before the ship was pafe from bad weather , as every beam , timber , and knee , and breast hook and deck plank forward of the fureswifier was stove .

Singular Act of Self-Mutilation . —A most * xtraordiuary and determined ac */ w : is committed in Worcester gaol on Wednesday , by a man named Jamea Finoher , who had been apprehended as a deserter , and lodged in the prison to await the determination of his case . While so confined he
contrived to possess himself of a piece of iron-hoop , which he had notched so as to make it answer roughly the purposes of a saw , and with this rude instrument he succeeded in sawing off the thumb of his right hand , between the nail and the fir t joint , the separation of skin , flesh , and bone b'Mng ( . ffVcted in the most complete manner .

LETTER II . "It 5 s a scandal for a true Briton to drag two chahia at once . "—Swift . Dkar Rafter , —It has been the policy of our rulers , W&iis or Toties , to endeavour to make us believe that we can skip about best in a light pair of fetters ! and for thia purpose the faction out of power have nevei failed to impress us with tho belief that theirs is always the lightest ; but why the people should wear t ' ifcin at all is a question which both agree they should
never tmm aiscuaa . In thia assumption of tho Whij { a and Tories of course there is not a piirticle of honesty , justice , or common sense ; but with their assumption there in what is much worse than mere assumptionpower ! rabi 4 , ( tenpotic power ia their only argument ! strong walls aRd cold irons their proofa , iu which thr . ir unhappy victims are coinpallod to drac ; out a silent , unwilling , dying acquiescence ; and yet , O God of Justice , there are nieu laying claim ) almost to the Divine beatitudes , -who can calmly sit einpuipleri on tht judgment seat , and laud and order compliance to this blood-sucking system .
I told you , in my last , I believed the object of the iuliu £ faction was to Keiz-j ou all the leaders of the Ch&ttist movement . Alas ! since then , the sound of unjust judgment has beeu held over n ^ ny a good man ' s bead ; and tbe police have actually been prtniuture , in doffing tctir wiiitd trousers thi 3 season , their mastttfs knowing ( I presume ) they had so muth dirty work to do . The Whi ^ s no doubt are glad of all this , and silently rejoice at tbe arrests ,- —but shall we like them the mere for their base joy ? Of them we know that they set tho example te the Tories ; aud
that tho JatttT are doing no more than thfty have done . I hate the Whigs tho more for their rascally sileuae ; aud I beliove they avo doing , at this moment , more iDjury to the cuusb by intrigue than ever the ToiieB would stoop to do . The policy of the Whigs has ever bean marked by duplicity , low cuamog , false-pr ** - rniaing , and petty devices ; inconstant in their every move ,, grovelling , and mean in seeking for power . The English Whigs would hang the Irish people to obtain power ; and tha Irish Whigs would shoot the English people to keep it
I hate a Tory ! the very name is a firebrand , by the false light of which I can look back through the long night of my country ' s dark gloom , and behold the spirits of her " happier dead " rejoicing over the expiring embers of pitch caps and faggots ! but a Whig ! a treacherous Whig ! tho Ei . glish language does not convey to mo another word bo loathing . If I were asked to give name to an ot'jcct with bodf of the caiueKon , head of the serpent , hind feet of the ox , with eyes of tbo basilisk , displaying the treacherous sniila of the coquette , and having all tho cunning of the fi / S , I wpuM * exclaim that loathsome object is like nothing on earth but a Whig I Cal ! it % Whig ? It would not be difficult to trace in the first founders of society , the lineaments of our modern
Wliigs . Mao clings with' tenacious aohesion to any object or system which he conceives will assist in protecting him from the attacks of a stronger power than himself . A single illustration from Holy Writ will sufficiently show this . We . ow Atlam , in his deinuH-d state , ahield himself with the trees frjin the face of Almighty God ; in like manner have the . early tribes of bis children thrown thcmsilvea under what they conceived to be the protecting shades of civil Government , which by degrees became more insolent , iiore oppressive , more tyrannic , and more greater evils than those which they Wbre formed to correct , till finally , by innumerable encroachments on the people's liberties , they , too / like the archdemons of Lucifer in the realms of the Most High ,
conceived the daring project of dethroning the power that brought them into existence ! Those , i think , you will readily admit , ° were the \ Vbij ? s of early growth , and little did they differ from the crop that has beon recently cut . If the Whigs wore aincmre in their professions to ameliorate the condition of the people , why do they not give the people the chance to exclaim—•• Well , bad as the men were when in power , they do not attempt to ating now that they are powurltss . They sympathise with tbe persecuted , and they aid ua against the persecutor ; they hold public meetiuga , and they raise subscriptions for the defence of the victims of their own avowed principles . ' * Did they do this , then might their professions of patriotism go hand in hand with their acts of philanthropy—then might they
go a great length in disarming those who show up their rascality . But no I the hypocritical fellows . ' they would first imprison and transport all the good and true , buy over all the shams , und then , with s ^ eck facts , ltd on by some broad-ttimmsd fkiend , ( whom they would manage to nnike their dupe , ) come ; uno :, get the people , like the Pharisees of old , declaring that they knew the laws better than others ! and , of course , were more fit to become their leaders , as they knew what would answer them better than they knew themselves These wise legislators then having got fairly before the people , by first adopting all their Six Points , would commence a tirade against the plans of the old leaden , aud by piecemeal would break up the present organisation ; thu confidence of the people thus partial ; y
obtained , and their organisation rendered powerless , the money-grubbing scheme would commence , and one hundred Murraya , Smiths , and Aclands would be sent about sowing the beautiful Indian com sted ; then would some big O , or some eham-leadt-r of the Ulster-Radicals , ( by-tho bye , what has become of tho Ulster Association ? I suppose you will answer , &&k Rochdale ?) big with confidence , stand and exclaim , " WeJJ , gentlemen , you know me long and well ; have I ever deceived you ? ( Tau paid hacks would shout , " No , never . ") I have been a long time battling for you ( you have ); and is there one man here the worse for taking my advice ? ( not one . ) I gained emancipation for Ireland , and , with the blessing of God , 1 wili make Eugland the envy of surrounding nations . ( Indeed
you will . ) We must divide the country into equal districts , and appoint collectors . Every shilling will be a nail iu the cofEu of the Tories . Wo must appoint a managingiCommittee of twelve the payment of £ 5 to constitute a committee man , and hereto heejn with his £ 20 as a subscription of myaeU aud in ? three boub —( bravo , bravo ; is ' ut that liberal ? who can doubt his sincerity)—but , gentlemen , before I conclude I nniht give notice of a motion for next week , relative to the People ' s Chatter . It is downright folly to look for impracticabilities ; you know I always said Universal Suffrage was nonsense . We must seek for the greatest practicable extension of the Suffrage , and as for Annual Parliaments , it would create too much inconvenience . I think Triennial Parliaments much more adapted to the present times , but I like the Ballet , the honest Ballot —( he ' s a Briton every inch of him )—and as for Payment ot Members , you aJl know I aever waa against
being paid— ( not you)— nor did I ever work for nothing —( never )—nor never will —( devil doubt you ) . I was always for the instalment principle , aud I agree with Shaman Cnvwfoid , that the Repeal Question ought not to be mixed np with the People ' s Charter . Repeal should bide its time , it wasforced on me once by Feargus O'Connor , prematurely , and what did w « gain by it ? one solitary vote . We shall never offend our cause with a vote again —( shouts of never , aetet ) . Gentlemen , I cow conclude by giving notice of my motion , aad by banding in £ 10 more as the snbBcriptlons of Joseph Hume and John Arthur Roebuck , and I beg to move that tbe latter gentleman be appointed as tbe legal director of this association , and that all monies be forwarded to tbe Central Board at the Corn Exchange , Dublin . " This is the true picture cf these political pedlars ; but we are not all imprisoned yet . We may yet astonish them by playing at " one do wn and another come on . "
Some fellow accused me once of having a knowledge of a plot , aud I now take this opportunity of disclosing it to you ; you may guess at the actors , though their name i « legion ; thera being scarcely a town in Bnglan « that they have not their scouts to tell " how the cat jumps ; " but as every bad system carries with it the means of its own deatiaction , so it will be with the
