treasnry department to interfere in the trial . The be -ief bad caused much excitement and indignation , which would , howerer , be renioTed by a denial of the fact . Mr . Inj < crsoH followed , and spoke for nearly tvn > hours . He went OTer the whole ground of the M'L « od affair , the Caroline rebellion , and all other matters connected with it . He then fell upon the letter of Mr . Webster to Mr . Fox , and criticised it &t great length . As a constitutional lawyer , he affirmed that the positions assumed by the secretary were grossly erroneous , and that without the least necessity he had capitulated to the British . He
( Mr . Ingersoli ) said this capitulation was a stain upon the country which could only be washed oat by oceans of blood . After expatiating with much vrarmth against the heinous crime of Mr . Webgter , he said there was one chance left , which was , for the former to acknowledge his error . He next attacked the style of the letter , and contended that the beautifel structure of the senteaees was incompatible with the nervous style of the statesman . He endearonred to show that both the late and present executiTe had acted with more firmaesB than Mr . Web 3 ter , and that the latter was the sole cause of the humiliating condition in which we bow were .
Mr . Alford said tkat , however nroeb he differed from the present Administration on somt points , on this he agreed with them . He approved of tbe letter of Mr . Webster to the British Fox , and maintained that the former bad not stepped aside an inch from the coarse camsBenced by Mr . Poinsett . He teou ^ bt Mr . Webster deaerrinj ? of the appellation of ** Well done , thou good and faithful serTant of the Repnblic . " ilr . Cashing followed st ^ rest length , condemnatory of the subject being debated at that tine , and the further proceedings were adjourned .

Gesvise "Blabset . —Mr . O'Connell , in a letter addressed to the Duolm Electors , says : — " The enemies of Ireland have triumphed , but be not daunted , my friends , a petition "will unseat the exterminators of yourselves , and your holy and sacred religion . Ireland cannot bear my absence from the House at this crisis , * even for a moment ; I have therefore accepted the -representation of the honest men of Meath . "
Sssiors Chabg . k !!—Herrard Prerard , a fine boy of 15 , was charged at Hatton Garden Police Offioe , by Mr . Ocock , of the firm of Whidborne and ticock , chemists ' and druggist 3 , of Judd-street , Brunswick-square , with having stolen from the till three half-pence . The prisoner was apprenticed to the prosecutors by bis father , who is an officer on half-pay . A- short time since the prosecutor W& 5 fin fed by the magistrate for assaulting th ) 3 boy . The prisoner declared in his defence to the present charge taas the half-pence had been given him by his master to purchase milk for his breakfast , but he preferred Iajiog it out ia another way . He was , nowever , committed for trial .
Teddt Fltss ' s Blind Pig . —Teddy Fljnn , a big Munster man , locating in tbe classic regions of Lower Shad well , wiih a string of " retainers" as long as the tail of Daniel O'Connell , or the American sea-serpent ,-marched into court soon after the doors were open , at the Tower Hamlets' Court of Requests , apparently intent on something of vast importance . Upon the names of " Flynn against O'Dounell" beisg called by the crier , big Teddy and Jerry O'Donnell , I a six-foo ; coal-whipper , came in front of the bench .
Teddy—rlazeyer Wurtchaps , it ' s a poor lone widdy I am , God help me , wid a family iv tree childhcr , widhoat mintionicg the tvro pigs an the torn cat , an it ' a a murthering hathen that same O'Donnell is , to be aftber tearing a man ' s jacket to paces in this kind o' way . Teddy was requested by tbe Commisioner to state to the Court the particulars relative to the destruction of tbe jacket . Teddy having moved a large quid " of tobacco from his mouth , and carefully deposited it in the-crown of his " fantail , " assumed the anitade of the " Member for all Ireland'' whpn
about to hold forth , namely , h * folded his arm * , and placed his right foot some half yard in advance of tbe other . From his statement it appeared that he { Teddy ) had provided accommodation for a couple of pigs in tbe rear of his domicile , one of which , like the author of " Paradise Lost , " was blind . The fences dividing the tenements , it seemed , were like Mr . Ferguson ' s " four-aud-nine , " in a somewhat dilapidated state , hence Teddy ' s two grunters were enabled to visu their neighbours without restraint . Jerry O'Bonaell , the defendant , occupied the premises next door , and M 3 small domain behind exhibited a £ oarishicg crop of " pratees . " It further
appeared that Teddy ' s two porkers vrerein the habit of paying frequent visits to Jerry ' s plantation of " pocoT&ns , " and , by inserting their snout 3 in the soil , managed to turn many fine roots bottom upwards . Upon one occasion , while thus engaged , Jerry chanced to espy them , and , seizing a mopstick , he rushed out , and inflicted summary puaishment on the intruders . Jerry whacked away with his cudgel , the swine howled lustily , and the row = oon brought out Teddy Flynn , between whom and Jerry a figbt took place , which ended in tha plaintiff ' s jacket being torn from his back , the allsged value of which ( 43 . ) he now sought to recover . Commissioner—I don ' t see how the Court can assist
vou , for one seems as mcch in fault as the other . Tecdy—Och , blood an' onus ! only hark at that ! Sure , I'd y . s % sot down to me dinner , widths ehildher , when , all in a suddint , I heerd a mighty screeching , an' win $ cut , an' fonnd that blaggard Jerry a wallopping me poor blind pig with a broomstick . " Aizy , Jerr / , " . st 2 I , " remimber the crathur ' s got Chmtbianfalings . likeyerself . " Wid that , yer Wurtchip , be hot me a munherin' whack , an' thin we bad a bit iv a Sght , an' he split my jacket . Jerry , in dtience , said the plaimiff ' s pigs vrere continuaDy rooting iip his garden , though he had often cautioned him to ktep them on his own premises . Tbe Commissioners were of opinion that Teddy had no claim upon tbe defendant , and difmi = sed the summons . The " lone widdy" and his friend 3 left the office highly indignant at the decision , observing that it formed another strong instance of the necessity of " repaling" tbe Union . _
Ht&i- ? o&B . —StmsAMBrLisM Extrao ? . di _ naby . — A most extraordinary case of somnambulism occurred in this city on Friday week . We can vouch ior the facts as wo are about to relate them , as they transpired wiinln our own coplinnca , and all the parties are personally known to us . On Friday morniug , st half-past five , a resident in Widemarshstreet was . awakened by the violent ringing of his door-bell . " Not hearing any servant answer a second ring , be rang his bell for the man servant , which , hower ^ r , was n-it answered . He then jumped out of bed , and pulling aside the window-blind , saw what be believed to be his own horse , saddled and bricled in tbe street , and held by a strange man , babk-rd as a labourer . Marvelling what could have brought his hor ? e so unexpectedly to his door at so early an hour , he left his chamber , and , at the
bottom of tbe stairs , called aloud to his man servant . One of the female domestics replied that he had gone down at fivej >' cloek with rhe intention of joins on the horse to Withington , to see a cow which he was to look at for his master . The master then returned to his bed-room , threw up ; he window , and , on inquiring tbe man ' s business , the reply wa 3 , " Yonr man , sir , has been thrown from his h " or ? e in tbe meadow ; I was just going by and saw him on the ground , iii 3 foo ; hanging in the stirrup , his face eut and bleeding , and the horse standing qnietly by . I fear be 13 much hurt . I led him to my honse near the turnpike , and there he is now . My wife has lisbted afire , for be issitjiDg in a chair shivering ^ iih cold , and cannot speak . " The master immediately requested tbe messenger to lead the horse back , and turn him into the meadow again , and stated that assistance w > :. uld be forthwith sent . A
surgeon and one of the domestics were quickly in attendance . The man was lound exactly in the state described . The surgeon carefully examined the boJy , and happily found that no bone of him was broken , and no other perceptible injury than the wounds on the face . He was then led home , apparently insensible , only answering to every question pot to him , " I don't know . " He wa 3 conducted to his bed-room , undressed , and put to bed ; his eye > ali the time beiDg wide open , but fixed , and tbo pupils being much dilated . At nine o ' clock he awoke , aud the first question be asked , occasioned by his feeliDg his check sore and bleeding , and observing his clothes cot in ( he position he had placed them the ever night , " Where am I ? What ' s the matter ? " He positively had not , and he has not up to the present moment , the slightest recollection of
a single circumstaace thai had occurred frem the moment he dropped to sleep on the previous night to the moment he awoke at nine o ' clock in the morning . We may state ihat ' it was his intention the previous eight togo toWunington , and for this purpose he had pnt 6 d . in his pocket to pay tbe gates ; but he had not , and has not now , the least remembrance of lising , dressing himself , knocking at the girl's door , niilockijcg and nnbolting the door , walking down the tlieet to the meadow , unlocking the gate , catching the hor ^ e , . saddling and bridling it , falling cfF , being picked up , led to the man ' s house , beiag examined by the surge&n , led borne , and put to bed—of all tliese events he is perfectly oblivious . We may add that he is a steady sober person , aud we pledge ourselves for tb *» truth of the case as we h 3 ve related it . —ilerefo : d Tittes .

S . Higham , Controller-General . National Debt Office , July 6 . The Goldek Goose . —Tiaat old age is Dot always accompanied with a proportionate amount of wisdom is a fact which is placed beyond * 11 doubt by the following instance of gullibility : —One day last week a decrepit old farmer , seventy years of a ^ e . of Bradwortb . 7 , on whom Providence had bestowed more money than wrt j was bamboozled by a gang of gypsies into the belief that bis age ana infirmities were the resnlt of the ioalicious influence of a witch ; and
persuaded him to advance them £ 53 , whwhwonld dispel the web of enchantment which entwiaed bb existence , and restore him to the health and figonr of the comely age- of twenty-four . The offer was eagerly accepted ; t&e farmer retired to his bed , and dreamt that the mach-desired metamorphotia was already accomplished ; when lo ! on waking in the morning , " a change came o ' er the spirit of his dream" —old farmer Osborne was aB old as ever , and £ 53 poorer , his riches having " taken to themselves wings and flown away" with the gypsies . — Western Times .
Impediments in Tbateiiino fbom London to Dubus . —That large portion of the public which travels between London and Dublin via Liverpool , is made to suffer great inconvenience , to the extent , occasionally , of being kept iu Liverpool twelve hours , by the private disputes between the Grand Junction and tbe Crewe and Chester Railway Companies . The Post-cfBce directs the Irish-letters to be carried on the Crewe and Birkenhead Branch Railway , instead of as heretofore , on the Liverpool and Manchester lii ; e . By this route there is a saving of twenty minutes , which is of great importance in the despatch of the Irish letters . Accordingly , a
carriage with the letters leaves the London tram at Crewe , whilst the passengers are carried 011 to Liverpool , where they most generally arrive just in time to see tho mail packet under-way—able sometimes in open boats , with danger and discomfort , to reach it ; but often left behind to await the evening packet . Though the Post-ofBce can over ride tbe disputes of the railroad companies , and compel tho conveyance of letters , it has no power to direct tbe couveyance of passengers ; and the publio interest is thus sacrificed to the wrangles of two companies , which , blind to their own interest , are thus cultivating—not the good will , but the hostility of the public .
A Snug Borough . —Dangannon was the plac ^ j where the volunteers of ' 82 held their memorable meeting , and it will henceforward be famous as \ be borough which , in thes * Tlslorm d » ys , can defeat a Reformer , and send the juvenile Lord Northland to Parliament upon the strength of seventy-two votes . Let us not be mistaken , theborough of Duugannon , although a large and tolerably thriving town , can ju 3 t boast of 124 free and independent electors . Now , in the late contest , fifty-two voted for Mr . Falls , the Liberal candidate , which left the houseof Kuox seventy-two votes , giving the promising pper au overwhelming majority of twenty over his Whig or destructive opponent . And this is what her little Majesty from the throne is schooled by
her Ministers to describe as " an appeil to her people . " To continue this state of things the newborn foe of monopoly , Lord John Russell , promulgated his ' finality" doctrine , and denounced further organic changes . Good right have Gallon aud Old Sarum to complain that they h £ ve unjustly been consigned to shedule A , while Dungannon survives , " a prosperous borough , " ior the convenience of tbe Ranfuriy family . The possession of this pocktt borough has been a fortune to tbe Knoxea—nothing less than a mine of Potosi . It has been the golden key which opened the portals where coronets and pensions were to be found . No wonder , therefore , that they should be afraid to let it sli p from them , and that they should contemplate with awe the
prospect of losing a privilege which they have turned to such advantage . The people , however , arc beginning to perceive that they can never expect any change for tho better so long as this system is suttered to endure . In every locality liko Dungacnon , where a mockery of representation exists , and the franchise is confined to a few individuals , the member will owe his seat to aristocratic influence , or else become the nominee of a set » f jobbers , who , upon condition of allowing him to prosecute his selfish designs , will secure bribes- ^? tbaf * in money or places—for themselves and their relations . DnnijaBDOH , with its 124 electors , is a . bitter satire upon the immortal Reform Bill of Lord John Russell . — World .
The Nouixatios at Glasgow . —The Scottish Patriot , speaking of the spirit-stirriDg proceedings connected with the Giasgowelection , says , " thehometruths brorght forward on the occasion , were , we dare say , ra : her unpalatable to our fashionable corruptionists , and , therefore , the mercenaries who pander to their tasJe , thought it more consistent with their iuterest to suppress sentiments so unpopu ' ar with their patrons . Thanks , however , to the progress of intelligence the elite of our Glasgow aristocracy were compelled for once to listen quietly to addresses which they would have yelled down in their assembly rooms . The whole of oar speakers spared neither Whig aor Tory misrule—they laid bare tbe injustice and rapacitj * of tbe ' f xclusives '
with a fearless hand , amidst the plaudits of at Iea 3 t ni ' ty thousand of their fellow-citizens . But it was during ilr . Moir ' a extraordinary speech that the scene became intensely interesting . Tho thrilling eloquence and powerfnl satire of that distinguished advocate of freedom , while he exposed the duplicity , extravagance , and tyranny of the Whigs , told wiib irresistible effect on ail present ; the multitude rent the air with bursts of acclamation . The Whigs at first " looked scorpions , '' but latterly the rueful aspect of tke crest-fallen liberals betrayed the mortification they felt , while the loud laugh of the Tories , excited partly by the wit of the speaker , and the castigation
he wa 3 inflicting on the hypocrites , and partly by tbe long faces which they had assumed , added much to oui amusement . It was , however , when the show of hands was taken for the respective candidate ? , that a deep lesson wad taught to the phiiof opher and the statcman . Thero stood a dense mass of discriminating men who felt that they had a right to bo recognised as freemen ; consequently , when Mr . Oswald was put , the bands held up for him were ' like angels visits few and far between . ' The people knew him to bo an old narrow coutracted Whig , half a century at least behind tho spirit of tbe age . Mr . Dennistoan had a show considerably larger , because he is believed to hp . much more d ^ mor / ratio
than bis antiquated colleague . Those exhibited for Mr . Campbell were still fewer than Mr . Oswald's ; tney were like the grey haire in a joung man ' s head , one here and there , because the people knew him to be a politician of the feudal school ; but when Mr . 31 ; iJs and 3 Ir . Moir were respectively put , thsre was a forest which the hanghtiest Tory or the proudest Whig in the empire would have envied . Upon the whole , this was a glorious day for Chartism , and one which neither its adhereats nor opponents will soon forget . "
The Boy Jo . ves — The boy , Edward Jones , who , it wiil be remembered , has on three different occasions effected a most rnysteriou 3 entrance into Buckingham Palace Cand , according to his own account , a fourth , bnt on which occasion he escaped without detection , ) waa , on the 14 th of last moiiih , liberated from Tothill-street gaol , his period of imprisonment having expired . Whilst in prison , we are told Jones behaved remarkably well . He was quiet and orierly , and even exemplary in his conduct ; so much so that the governor had not iu any one instance cause of complaint . Since the liberation of this youth , who has gained so much notoriety , he has been frequently seen on Constitution-hiil and in the immediate neighbourhood of Buckingham Palace ,
which being communicated to the authorities , orders were given to the police to watch his movements , which wa 3 accordingly done , but there was nothing in bis manner or behaviour different from those who daily frequent the parks in hopes of obtaining a sight of royalty . Still , it appears , he was deemed a ( iaagerous character , and meditated another entrance into the palace . Without , therefore , going into details and rumours of suspicion , we may state that he has been taken quietly in band by the proper authorities and placed on board the Diamond emigration ship , bound to Australia , we believe , or some other of . he English coJonies . We hear that this adventurous youth left home in good spirits , and not altogether against his consent , but on leaving ,
repeattd his wishes that something should be done for him in this country , as he would rather remain at home than go abroad . Jones has written on more than one occasion to Mr . Hall , of Bow-street , requesting that worthy magistrate to prevail on the Government to do something for him , but hi 3 applications to ilr . Hall were not answered . It is thought these applications were in consequence of the boy being desirous not to be a burden to his parent ' s , who are poor but industrious and honest persons .

Mr . Btort . on » usher of Greenwich police-court , who waa pemii ^ to the railway on his way to London , rushed 1 fax ° the house at the risk of his own life to save tBa * 0 . f Mr . Knott , who was confined to his bedwitlr t&e gout . Mr . Knott refused assistance , and seened indisposed to leave the house . He was , howersr , removed
by Mr . Burton and another person out a ? the house to that of a neighbour opposite . Mi ; Burton then went back to the burning house , antf succeeded in securing the cash-box , valuable papers , and a quantity of plate and other property . There were fifteen houses between the railway and an opening which separated the buildings to the northward . Four of them are destroyed—namely , tbe extensive premises of Mr . Kuott , Mr . Blake , an oil and colourman , Mr . Brown , a painter , Mr . Martin , a carpenter , and Mr . Cockle , a cooper in the London D&cks . A good supply of water was immediately procured , and four engines from her Majesty ' s victualling yard were promptly on the spot . One engine from the London Fire Brigade , No . 20 of the Wo » t of England Officeand No .
, 22 of tho London Fire Establishment . The engine D 16 was the first from London , and reached Deptford in thirty-five minutes after the fire waa discovered . A largo body of tbe R division of police was immediately on tbe spot , followed by a strong detachment of the 15 th Repiraent of Foot . These , assisted by the parochial officers , preserved avast deal of property , and gave full effect to the operation of the engines . The churchyard was made available in depositing vast quantities of property belonging to the houses ( eleven in number ) where danger of fire was likely to reach . Several of tho houses were full of lodgers , and the scene was most distressing . About seven o ' clock , however , all danger of the fire extending was at an end , and the goods were being taken back to some of the houses .
Throwing a Pig's-Hkad at a Jew . —A powerfully-built Leadenhall slaughterman , named Perkins , was charged before tha Lord Mayor , on Saturday , with assaulting Aaron Benjamins , an old Jew clochannan , by flinging a pig ' a head at him in tho purlieus of Leadenhall-market . Aaron , who cultivated a beard like a horse ' s mane , halving been sworn on the Old Testament , stated that as he was progressing homo to Petticoat-lane with a * ' pag" full of treasures on Friday afternoon , in passing Lcadcnhail-oiarket , the defendant , who waa accompanied by two or three other slaughtermen , haSIe ^ d him ; complainant immediately went up to them with the hope of picking up a bargain , when the defendant produced a pi ^ ' s-head from under hifl apron , and
asked him what he would give for it , ? J 0 ( complain * ant ) refused to have anything to do with it , and waa walking a way when the defendant thrust the abomination into his face . He took no notice of this and went away , but before he got the distance of twenty yards , ibepig's-head struck him a violeut blow in the back ; of tho neck , and upon turning round he saw the defendant laughing . The Lord Mayor asked the defendaut what he had to say in his defence ] The Blaughtorman said he could not deny having thrown tbe pig's-head at the Jew , but he made use of bad language , and called him
infamous names , which aggravated him to do what he did . The Lord Mayor—You hear that Air . Benjamins ; you used bad language to the defendaut . Complainant—S'belp ma Cheovah , yer Lordship , I never shpoke a vord , not a shingle vord . The Lord Mayor requested the parties to step outsido and try and settle tkt * aff-xir ; after tbe lapse of a tVsw minutes they returned , not having been able to make the matter up , theJow wanting too much . 'The Lord Mayor then , fined the defendant Kb . and the costs . Aaron , upon hearing the decision , pushed forward and held out his hand for the money , bat , upon being told that it went to the Queen he looked dreadfully crest-fallen .
Dobun Election . —We will be expected to say something about the City of Dublin Election ^ and we therefore hasleu to fulfil our duty . Tho contest has been aa extraordinary one , and given birth to an extraordinary concatenation of circumstances . When the tidiuga first reached us that Pierce Mahony bad taken the helm in his own hand , it did not require tho intercepted Clarendon letter to indicate how matters were likely to terminate . The conrocter of the Leinster Declaration and the chum of " West Briton Rice , " whose progress through life , or he is much belied , has been tortuous and timeggT / ying , wa £ _* ot exactly tha person , to iD » ko theiJeairchanrpion for a repeal candidate ' , The gascottadei of Mahony in seeking the " extirpating
Grogan " in the halls of Grecn-fatreet , that he JB ) £ hl motkdhim " eat his leek" is only a little less ludicrous thtn the anxiety of the aforesaid Grogan to convince the town by issuing a green paper ukase that he bad no intention this season of exterminating the Roman Catholic subjects of Queen Victoria , and that all the blame of having reported so foul a slander should remain at the door of the penny-aliner of Saaders . Bribery and undue influence , with tho unpopularity of the Whigs , have also tended to place ministonal candidates beneath their Conservative adversaries ; but all these circumstances would not have conspired to have had this effect but for the prevalent opinion that the contest had more to do with men than measures , and t / iat it involved
not so much Tights to be achieved as places to ba procured aud protected . To be candid , except high-sounding professions , and past services , the candidates who stood upon the liberal side gave us JittJe to hope . They were evidently bo hampered with ministerial manacles that they found themselves unable to be explicit ( or definite upon auy subject , and we could only gather that they were likely to sustain the Whig ministers . We trust that the present defeat will prove a useful lesson , aud wain those who enjoy the pubic confidence that it is dangerous , to surrender to party the energies which ought to be deroted to the regeneration of a nation . The following is the state of the poll at the close : —
West ( Tory ) 30 G 0 Grogan ( Tory ) 3051 O'Connell ( Whig ) 2977 Hutton ( Whig ) 2953 Majority of West over U'Connell 83 Grogan over Hutton . $ 8 The excitement during the election has been tremendous , and many outrage have been committed , we regret to say , by tho mobs of the respective parties , and we fear that consequences more fatal might have been looked for but for the admirable arrangements of the efficient Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police , who are entitled to the thanks of the community fer their untiring exertions . — - World .
The Chesterfield Union . —We have , heard , with equal surprise and disgust , of an instance of petty tyranny in the Chesterfield Union ( Derbyshire ) , which has escaped the notice of the Times , buc which we , tho opponents of the Times in its wholesale aud undiscriminating attacks upon the New Poor Law , beg leave to recommend to the instant attention of the Somerset House Commissioners , if tbey wish the country to believe that they are appointed for other and better purposes than the receipt of their salaries , —and that one of those purposes if to make amends for the occasional harshness , of their own minutes , by the repression of harshness is others , when perpetrated at the expeuce of the unfortunate recipients of public relief .
We are told that , at Chesterfield , all women entering the workhouse are stripped of their stays , and that a room is set apart for the receipt of thoso essential articles of female attire , where they are hung up , and ticketed , —the unfortunate owners being coudcm&ed to do without this necessary support to the female frame , during the wljole time of their reeide-nca in the workhouse , in the barbarous hope of shortening their stay by this ingenious refinement of persecution . We are told that women , who have been accustomed to wear stays all their lives , are to be acen crouching in every possible position that can afford a momentary relief from the inconvenience whioh they experience—resting their heads upon their hands , and their elbowa upon their knees—or
leaning against ths walls in silent Buffering . And all thia for what object I By what authority 1 r * iot by the law . . Not by any legitimate exercise of the authority of the Guardians—for they would ' have just as much right to make people sleep in short beds , or to stretch them out till they fit long onesor to order them to stand upon one leg while eating their dinners , a 3 to rob them of auy accustomed , and innocent , cozafort . It may he necessary , in justice to tho working population , to couple a provision for persons ootof work with conditions sufficiently irksome to prevent people from throwing themselves upon the rates , and liviue at the exDence of the
poorer ratepayers , when oy proper exertion , they could earn a livelihood for themselves—but confinumont , work , restrictions as to diet and hours , aro all that the law contemplates , or . allows . Much even of thia ia harsh and unjust , under a system , which dei . iea to labour | ftat free agency , which the law , by one of its least-justifiable fictions , assumes it always to possess ; bat as to tormenting poor old women , in the hope of forcing thorn to quit that home , which ought to be a place of refuge 10 the aged , the fact is so ittonstrons , that we should not have given credence to it , had we not received our information from persons , ¦ w hose accuracy we caiiiiot doubt . —Week' !/ Chronicle *

The Eastern Question . —The new treaty for the settlement of the affairs of the East was signed , on Tuesday afternoon , at the Foreign-office , by tha . representatives of ' the . five powers—Austria , France , Great Britain , Prussia , and Russia . Poob Lord John . —It is confidently stated that the Tories mean still to oast Lord John Russell and Alderman Wood from the city , on the ground that the polling books of some particular ward were wholly kept back at the election for party purposes . It is moreover rumoured that "Little Finality" is to be pitch-forked into the House of Peers .
The late Census . —A Bath paper states that the Census has caused considerable annoyance in that fashionable city . Several ladies , hovering on the shady side of thirty , hare endeavoured to evade it by abruptly retiring to the Continent ; and one elderly dandy , hopeless otherwise of escaping the inquisitorial scrutiny into his age , actually took up his abode in a hackney-coach , in which he was driven about the city throughout the obnoxious Monday night ! We understand that the Bath census reveals one astonishing fact—namely , that of all the unmarried spinsters there , scarcely one has grown a year older since it was last taken ! Not a few bachelors , too , still stick at the same age which they owned to in 1831 !

Brutality exercised under the New Poor L IW Act- —Every day bring 3 clearer proofs to light oft 'le necessity ot abridging , or rarhor taking away alt ' " geth&r , the despotic powers reposed in the Soinera '' , f louse Bashaws , by the infernal Poor Law Act , ant of confiding the direction of Unions to locally appointed Guardians . Lord John Russell , it i * kuownj ^ troduced a Bill to continue the services of the ninv-hearteu Potentates for a period of ten years longer ; but finding the House and tho country aeamst him , ho withdrew it , thereby throwing out a glimmering of hope that ho would , in another Sessiun , listen to tho voice of humanity , aud give to every district the right of managing its own pauperdSjtfuld , ho waver , the Tories succeed to office ,
, fronrwhat fell from Sir Robert Peel , the iuiquitous Ace Will continue to operate with its present frightful severity . The Hon . Baronet was for continuing the services of the Magnates , for a period of five yoard longer , so that he would have all the horrors of the system maintained , and with tho leaven of Toryism infused into it , who shall say that it would not work with worse effect ? Tbe onco independent spirit of the industrious classes is already gone . A labourer , tor instance , who needs perhaps but trifling assistance to enable him to rub through a protracted winter , is deuied relief . He is told— " There is the Union for you ; you aud your children wiil be received . " The applicant is penny less ; he has no work ; and at length is compelled to part with tha
few scraps of furniture he has been eerap ; n # together for years , and go into the baatile , from which the appliance of a few shillings wou 2 d hare savod him . The result is obvious ; ho became a confirmed pauper ; his spirit is cowed ; for he knows that , let him leave the Union when he may , he has no home , no furniture , and that he must become a wanderer . Thia is one of tho evils of the Poor Law Act . But let us complain of , or rathor point out other grievances , in order to show the ferocious spirit in which the accursed Poor Law Amendment Act ia carried out . No later than Monday last , an inquest was h « . ld at Deptford touching the death of a woman named Skeltou ( Skeleton would have been by far more appropriate ) , whose death it was alleged , had been
caused by starvation—starvation in a land that has been called " the admiration of the world and the envy of surrouuding nations . " This poor creature , it appeared had not even a bed to lie upon . She lived with a man named Dew , who was as badly off as herself , and who exerted hia utmost to procure for her the means of subsistence , but without success . Latterly a little tea aad dry crust were all the poor creature had to support her enfeebled frame . At length Dew applied to Harman , tho relieving-offiaer , to obtain admission for Skolton into the Union . By this man Dew was sent before the Board , when one of the " gentlemen" ( Heaven save the mark ) , brutally said— " I am suro you won't have it , " ( meaning , we suppose , an order for admission . )
Poor Duw was thon told by the " gentleman" ot this beautiful Board , to go to a hospital , and named some party who would give him a recommendation for Skelton . In fact , it was clear that they wished to get rid of the woman , aud cared not whither she was sent , so that she did not trouble the parish . The woman , it is true , was diseased , but bho required nourishment rathor than medicine ; and here the relieving officer and the " gentlemen" of the Board—tho humane gentlemen—violated the orders of . ' the .. Commissioners , which expressly direct thaKrelief shall bo given first , ond inquiry made afterwaxda , Haruiau , however , inquired first aa to whether deceased was the wife of Dew , and findibs thai sho was not , he woald do nothing lor
ber . l So the woman was ^ dmed reKef because she lived with a man iif * state of concubiirssef ^^ tfyi ' if all persons were to bo denied admission \ vitnin the pale of right * whoiive in a state of adultery , some thousands ^ o ' uld cut a very sorry figure , if they were called on to show their " marriage ceremouy . " Harman informed the Coroner , that if " Daw hid stated that he was not married , the case would have been different . " So that , believing deceased to be the wife of D < sw , he refused her admission to the Union * and the presumption is , that if he had known that she was only his trull , she would have been admitted L Oh , Mr . Harman , get up a better tale when next you appear before a coroner . The jury were disgusted with the evidence to meet the case , and very
properly begged for an adjournment of the inquiry . Ono witness , a woman in whose house the deceas « d and Dew resided , told the Jury that tho latter almost Starred himself to" supply the wants of the deceased ; that he was a man of excellent character , industrious and sober ; albeit , he was driven from piliar to post , and at length the emaciated partner of hi 3 misery died at his side . Is it not scandalous that the poor should be thus treated , that they should be thus insulted—deliberately iusuhed by parish officers ? There rarely was , befoie the institution of tho Bastile in England , a case oi a human being dying for want of the necessaries oi' \ if » , "vvho . na made application for relief . To Ihoso good old days of pauper management , wo ho '^ e the country will
return . There 13 another caso in to-day s paper , affording a beautiful U !\ v 3 tTati < ju of \ 3 mon management . At an inqnest held on . two © hildrea who were suffocated in beti in LambeVh workhouse , evidences was s , iveii by a woman na med Scott , that she had not only suckled the two infants when alive , but two others also in tha same es ' . ablishmeut I The woman confessed that she was not compelled to suckle all tho infants . This may bo the case ; but ought euch a thing tc be g uttered ? Could the unfortunate children— f JUr " cb . ildreu .-r- have received sufficient nouviehme ; , t to sustain life from the breast of one woman !

Two Children Suffocated . —A few days ago , an inquest was hold before Mr . Carter , at the Jolly Gardeuers , Lambeth , on the bodies of Jane Elizabeth Reeves and Susannah Ellis , each aged about two months , who were smothered in bed in Lambeth WoTkhouse . A female named Martha Scott had suckled the deceased , as well as two other children . The deceased were placed in a bed with a girl named Sutty . On Friday night , Scott having suckled the deceased , they were both pu * to bed , and ; then appeared in good health . The following morning they were found quite dead , and Sutty iying between them . They had every appearance of having been suffocated . It appeared that there was only one
sheet on the bed , which had been turned over the deceased , and Sutty was lying between the blankets . At this the Jury expressed much surprise . Sutty always behaved kindly to the children . Mr . Duke , the surgeon , stated that the reason why Mrs . Seott suckled four children was that , it having been fouad bad to bring children up by hand , and the mother of ono being dead , the mother of the other , who is only sixteen or seveuteen years of age , being very ill , Mrs . Scott very kindly undertook , in order , if possible , to save the lives of the two children , to give them what succour she could . The Jury , after a short consultation , returned a verdict , " Tha * the deceasedchildre » diedfrom suffocation , " but no blame was attached to Sutty .

Tha cons-table inquired if the bride was a consenting party to this novel
arrangement of matters , and not receiving a satisfactory reply , he said he could not interfere . The landlord of tho house then gave the defendant into custody for being drunk and disorderly . When this was done , the faithless bride declared she would not be separated from her deputy husband for she liked him better than her legal spouse The bridegroom said he had met with his fickle rib not more than about four days before he committed matrimony . On the evening of tho wedding day he went out to made some purchases , and to take pJaces for the honeymoon trip , leaving his wife and her friend together . When he caaie home , to his great grief , he found his bride aud the defendant in a situation that no husband could tolerate . Tha
shock was so great that ho swooned away , and did not regain a senso of his miserable lot for three hours . As soon as he came to himself ha charged the defendant with attempting to seduce his wife : from him . Notwithstanding what had taken place , such was his love for the faithless fair , that if the prisoner would consent not to interpose in his family matters , ho would forego tho charge . Ik answer to some questioHS put by the Magistrate , the complainant said he did not " disadmit that he had been drinking , '' as was quite natural on such a happy , occasion , but he certainly was not drunk . The fit 6 c . curred through " study and grief . " All he wished
' j is to have undivided possession of his own lawful Tin * e , and to prevent the defendant from coying her av » *!'• If the defendant would make that promise , he ¦> ^ ou ld forgive him . Mr .

THE MANCHESTER MASSACRE . In reference to the vote of thanks , which was moved in the House of Commons by the present Lord Melbourne to the Bloody" Yeomanry who on the field of Peterloo , indiscriminately cut down with " newly sharpened sabrea" men women and children , when peaceably assembled to petition for » " redress of grievances , " the Whig Manchester Guardian has the following paragraph , which is an amusing specimen of Iyiug . by inuendo . Tbe paragraph is going " the round" of the Whig Press . To get rid of the odium attachable to Lord Melbourne for his memorable exploit , even though it should be by lying , is an object worthy of being attained even by such means . * Here is the paragraph : —
" It appears from the report of the Leeds Mercury that Mr . Hardy , in his speech at the Bradford nomination , made the following observations : — ' Look at Lord Melbourne . Lord Melbourne waa Home Secretary at tha time the people of Manchester were cut down , and moved a vote of tlianks to tha yeomanry . ' Thia statement ia a direct falsehood . The Home Secretary , at the period in question , was not Lord Melbourne , bnt Lord Sldmouth ; and this ia a fact which , if Mr . Hardy ( 'hi not know , a very slight investigation woald have
shown him ; and that investigation he ought in duty to have made , and not have come forward without it to endeavour to blacken tbe character of a political adversary by the utterance of a « jownrlght untruth . It is nothing to say , as possibly may be said , that Mr . Hardy believed the statement . The man , who , to disparaga an opponent , makc £ a statement , which ordinary inquiry would h * ve shown him to be without foundation , is only one degree less culpable—he is not at allies * inaliguant—than'the one who invents and propagates & naked and deliberate He .

Thus every working man , gr tbe caanre of a single halfpenny , can proenre for fcisiself aad bis family an authentic copy of thi 3 B « t—this all-important document ; atd we sincerely trail that the whole of the masses will gladly avail
ito >« l vSB of the opportunity . We perceive that fat whole of the feaek numbers are in print , and can fee obtained for one shilling ; a work , at the price , esakkias so large an amount of real useful lllfOTaa&a , we are not acquainted with ; and we hope gal eTery Cnaitist will aid in it 3 circulation . We Jjaii that the separate numbers might be moss prf Jfe » t to be presented as rewards to the more ukagcd scholars in our Sunday and day schools ; : jadjiso advise that some person should have a few •^ f each for sale at eTery public meeting . We hope 3 ag& £ ? d in the Chartist agitation will teach and paokally carry out these suggestions .
