      BASJrSLETST . — Seeiocs Accident . —On Saturday last , as Edward Bates was oiling a portion of the machinery at Messrs . Courdsav ' s Bleach Crofts , he got entangled therein , and bis arm was torn oat of the socket The poor fellow is suffering in extreme agony , and it is thought by many he will not recover . CABZJSZiE .-Lj . te Election " Rows . "—An appeal was made in the Star of the 17 th instant , in behalf of two men who have been charged with the murder of a policeman named Jardine . From all we can learn , the policeman was very indiscreet in striking iu all directions , paying no regard to age cor sex ; having knocked down two little bojB who

      could not get out of the way ; and also felled down a poor woman , and 6 truck another with a child in her arms . We question the right of Mr . Grahame , superintendent of the police force , to give his men orders to draw their stave 3 and charge the people ; for thocgh a ftvr stones were thrown , bo particular damage wa 3 done ; and if the crowd had been let alone they would have speedily dispersed . Compared with former elections , we can say , without fe&r-of contradiction , that it was a very peaceable one . We regret extremely that the policeman should have have been killed ; but we are confirmed in oar opinion that the unfortunate circumstance arose out of hi 3 own forwardness and indiscretion . This

      unhappy result has , we have no doubt , been partially the means of causing several others to be arrested for breaking windows and interfering with the police , when in discharge of their duty . No less than seven or eight persons have been committed on the above charges . In some cases the persons thus committed by the Borough Magistrates were prepared to prove an alibi , but the magistrates said they were determined to commit them , so that it was not material for them to do so . We were grieved to see this predetermination on the part of the magistrates , for we always considered them as minor judges , placed on the bench to administer justice to all parlies , according to the evidence . It must be considered a great hardship , when an innocent individual 13 committed to gaol

      even for a day , when he is prepared to clear himself by evidence of the most indisputable kind . The greatest praise is due to Mr . O'Connor , for his promptness in giving advice , and otherwise assisting the committee that has be « n formed , for the purpose of providing a good legal defence for the ^ e men charged with the murder of the policeman ; to whom tbfj could have no personal grudge , that we are aware of ; indeed we believe they scarcely knew him at all . The thanks of the committee are likewise due to Mr . George Julian Harney , who has so generously responded to the : r apppeal through the columns of the Northern Star , in his address to the democrats of the Wtst Hiding of Yorkshire . The as = iz ; s will eommocce on the 4 : h of August , so that subscriptions aught to be sent in to ^ Mr . James Arthur , bookseller , as speedily as possible .

      ASHTpN-UNDEE-LVNE . - The inhabitants of this town have fo far resisted the levy of a church rate , as to cause a dead silence to come orer the tower of the Parish Church . The clock has not moved a quarter of au hour , neither has there been oca single pe * l rung on the bells for more than two months , which has been the cause tf one of the inhabitants composing the following satire : — a co > 'tebsatjos between xshtos churcu clock . a >" d o > 'e 07 the bells . One dart stormy n ' ghr , as in pitiful plight , Through the churchyard of Ashton 1 passed ; I shelter'd awhile , iu a nook of ths pile , From ihe rain which / ell heavy and fist . And while I stood there , a noise J did hear , Which nia . ' ] e me look round me with dread ; But I very soon found , that this wonderful sound , Did proceed froH the steeple o ' erfcead .

      yow you'll think that I lie , but I don't , no , not I , For as sure as there's water in wells , A discourse 1 did hear , which took place I declare , Twist the church clock and oce of the bells . " " Oh good lack a day \ " the clock it did say , " ily heart is both he ^ vy and sad ; To think I should be , thus ill used , do ye see , Its enough to make anj- clOEk mad . " You tnow ttat from youth , I ' ve always told truth And it brings bitter tears in n ; y eyes , Thus idly to stand , without moving uiy hand , And tcil ptople nuthiug but lies . " For to each that comes by , and lifts up his eye , Enquiring the time o . the day ; Be it morning or no : n , late at evening or scon , 'A quarter past £ re'l still say . "

      " Thus though I ' m not to blame , I have lost my good nanie , To redeem it I never can hope . ' So now in despair , 1 "will swing , I declare , Jf-joiTi only jnat lend me your sope . " " My rope ! Mrs . Clock , how my feelings you shock . ' Djn't you know , that the very same tiay That your ticking was stopp'd , my bell-rope was cropp'd , And taken completely away . " " But , though since that time I ' ve not nttered a chime , I > Dn't imagine Vm uown is th » maw ; > 'o , I' 11 . let people see , if they put upon me , That I do not care for them a straw . " " And it grieves me to bear , you talking so queer , About banging yourself ; Oh dear me ' . Don't youreilf moke away ; but have patience I pray ; Why , they'd bring it in felo-de-se I "

      ' " And -what if you do tell a story or two , | And thns leave folks s-dly i' th' lurch ; j Why should not the pecpie be gull'd from the steeple , : A 3 well as be gulled in the church ' : " , ' " 0 , it's ill veTj ? well for yon , Mr .

      GIiASGrCW . —Great Procession tf ? Tbbtotalkbs . —A very large procession of persons acthag on the principle of total abstinenoe , took place hen ' on the 17 th inst ., tho Saturday of Glasgow Fair week . Delegates having previously arrivedfrom the various societies connected with Che Western Union which wa believe takes in the whole of the West of Scotland , for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements . The various bodies began to arrive by ten oclock a . m ., in Glasgow Green , taking np their stations according to the nnmbers previously drawn by their respective delegates . The Irish Catholics , a very powerful body fell in in the rear of the Western Union . After the necessary

      arrangements had been completed , the Western Union began to leave the Green about half-past twelve o ' clock , passing on through Bridgeton , Calton , and down the Gallowgate , Glasgow , where at a given point it took the Western Union , the Rechabites , and the Catholics thirty-eight minutes to pass ; they were arranged from three to six deep ; they were well supplied with bands of music , bagpipes , &c . while their splendid flags and other insigniaa glittered in the sun . It was generally calculated that there could not be less than six or seven thousand in the line of procession ; upon the whole it wasa splendid moral display .- [ This arrived last week after our Scotch papers had been worked off ]

      HAWORTH .-On Saturday morning last , about eleven o ' clock , a man , professing to be a traveller for the firm of Messrs . Thomas Prickett and Son , Manchester , was driving in a gig from Keighley to Hebden Brid ge , and while on his way between the Lees and Haworth Brow Side Bars , close to the residence of Mr . John Townend , he began ( to evade paying the toll , it is supposed ) to whip his horse very nnmercifully , by which he broke the whip-stock and caused the beaten creature to gallop at a most furious rate . The wife of tha toll-collector , whose » amo is Jonathan Speak , seeing the horse galJopas

      an unusual speed , ran out of the house to sate her child from harm and to take tbe toll . However , tihe had scarcely got out of the door before the horse and gig were ui < on her , by which sh . 9 was severely wounded . Fortunately , the child escaped without injury . Tbe man was thrown out of the gig a distance of six or seven yards , but did not receive much harm . The gig was broken by being dashed against cne of the bar-posts , and the post itself was almost torn up . After Bome slight repairs the man drove off without giving anything as » recompeu 39 to tho injured party ; we hear , however , that it is likely he will be proceeded against .

      BSADFOED—The last few weeks have been eventful ones in Bradford . The defeat of tbe Whigs at the late election will be of important advantage to the progress of popular freedom . The very men who urged ' the magistrates to prosecute the Chartists , and indiced little "Finality" ta establish a barracks in ihia peaceable district , havo placarded the town , advish . g the people to resist the law by refusing to pay church rates . It is gratifying to sec : he treacherous and despotic actions of the Whig faction recoil on their own heads .

      As Excellent Advertisement . —The Presbytery of Isiagara , New York , have paired a formal resolution , declaring that Byron ' s works and Bulwer's novels , " are books of an infidel and licentious character . " There will be an immediate run for both . The Tout Speakeh . — A correspondent of the Standard states that Sir Eardley Wilnoot is to be the Speaker of the Tories . Colonel Sjbthorp and Mr . Peter Borthwick are also talked of , and it is hard to say whether the Colonel ' s manners or the Peter ' s character will render the o » e or the other the more eligible , and worthy to represent the dignity of the Tory House of Commons . Plough Dkep aad Drink Shallow . —The President of the isorthampions ^ ire Farming and Grazing Society , on presenting a prize cup to a youug man , thus addressed him : " Now , young man , take this cup , and remember always to plough deep aud drink shallow . "

      An Old Soldies . —Some time ago , I informed you that an old man-of-wars-man had been brutally used by one of the Kural Police , dragged before the minious of tyranny , for whom , in other days , he had sbed bis blood , and by tliem wa ? , without Jaw or reason , thrown into a vile unhealthy gaol , for sixty days . 1 have now to tell you of an old soldier named James Wilson , who is a relative of the glorious old patriot , Wilson , of Glasgow , who was hanged like a dog for having carried a flig at Bonnjmuir , bearing tbe words— " Scotland free or a desert . " James is now three score years of age ; ho served eighteen years , received etven wounds in sepa' ^ te wholesale murder ecgagemrnts , and , as the last of these wounds rendered him a cripple for life , he was gracious ! ' /

      discharged u-ilhnut a pension , as another of " vhe worn oui tools which tyrants cast nway ! " This old man was in Bristol at the time of a recent event in Wales , —that country which neither foreign nor British foe 3 could subdue until it hnmbjlgged itself by selling its freedom and its glory for the contemptible mockery of having tho King ' s son , God help it , called Prince of Wales . When Wilson heard that the standard of freedom was again to wave on the Welsn mountains , he resolved to join it , aud , setting out , ho declared that he had fjught too long for tyranny , and \ rou ! d strike for liberty , and , at least , if he could not fight , he would '' shoulder his crutch" and Uach . Rapid events , however , proiractcd his purpose , and lie returned to Scotland ,

      where he wanders about like a good an . i ; d , fanning the sacred spark of liberty in the rural districts , and subsisting on that chanty which the industrious poor kindly give , but which the idle rich unfeelingly refuse . This old veteran aud t-teriipg patriot , while limping along the parish road of Kirkmichael , with his old wife , was rudely seized by a Rural Policeman . Wilson told what he had been and what he had suffered . " I don't ca e a d n , " said the ruffian , " you must go the Justice of Peace . " Wilsou submitted , and on they marched , the o ! d woman , on a signal , leading the van , the rural in the centre , and the oid soldier brineing up the rear ; and on coming

      to the centre of a foot bridge , " halt ! " * ' wheel I " cried the veteran to his advanced guard , and , as a soldier ' s wife doe ? , and as every good wife should do , she obeyed , and , on the instant , vbe old hero gave the pampered , fat rural a lurch , which sent him over , head foremost , into a pool , six feet deep , from which , like a half drowned rat , he got out , and , after bawling for help , those vrho had privately seen , and Others , at length came ; but as he was laughed at instead of receiving aid , he beat a retreat , leaving the old soldier and his wife in possession of the field , and be mutt have felt that the people , while they pity , shield , and support an old soldier , do mortally abhor a Rural Policeman . — Correspondent .

      Alleged Denial of Relief to a Starving Man . — On Friday an inquiry was gone into before Mr . Carter , at the John Bull , Tyers-street , Lambeth , respecting the death of Robert Simpson Reynolds , aged forty-three , whoso death , as enrremly reported , was caused , or at Jf 3 st accelerated , by the conduct of one of the paribh officers . M . W . Green , 29 L , taid he had known the deceased , and had often relieved him out of his own pocket , because he knew he -wanted food . On Monday morning , about half-past eleven o ' clock he saw the deceased ia Granby- £ treei , Waterloo road , and at the request of Mr . Barrett , the landlord of the Royal Oak , he went after him , and asked how it was he did not apply for admission to the workhouse . He

      said he had been refused by Tether , one of the relieving officers . Wituess aaked him to go with him to the house , but he said he had been refused fuur times , and he would sooner die in the streets than apply again . Witness took him to Mr . Watchhorn in a cab , because he was ill , and that gentleman having supplied him with refreshment , an order was obtained for bis admission to the workhojse , where wine and other nourishment wa 3 eiven him till Mr . Duke , the surgeon , arrived . Mr . Duke , the surgeon , said he attended tha deceased immediately , and found him in a dying state . He was very much attenuated . He appeared to be labouring under consumption , aud every thiDg he desired was ordered to be supplied him . The jury hero consulted ,

      and said there must be a post-mortem examination of the body , but several of them objected to its being performed by Mr . Duke , as he was the parish surgeon . Mr . Watchhorn said that the parish officers had the greatest confidence in his ability . Mr . Duke said , he had given his evidence npon his oath , and he did not see , without some better reason being stated , that he should notmake the examination —he had uo wish to screen any one . A juror eaid , that proper medical attention had not been paid . Mr . Dake rose , and was evidently affected almost to tears . " I have , " said he , " done all I can for the poor , and I think to charge me in this manner is most ungrateful . " Sarah Reynolds , the wife of the deceased , said , Bhe was in service , and had not lived

      \ ! j with her husband for eight months , as he was unable sr ! to snpport her . He had no regular lodging , but n j used to sleep at a house in the Mint , in the Borough , g i She saw him on Saturday , and gave him one shilling , e , as he said he was hungry . Sho asked him why he r , ! did not go to the house , and he said he bad been j I six orEeven times , and Tether told him to go about j his busines ? . She gave him sbout three shillings a ; ^ eek . He had been ill for Borne time and spat blood . By the Jury—Thought he wanted food a long while , lie used to pay fourpence a night for his lodging . ! other witnesses were then examined , who proved i he state of destitution the man had been in , and tl . at he told them that on Tuesday week he had » p plied at the workhousewhen Tether bullied him ,

      , i aj * i he would not go again . He was then Tery ; ma ih agitated . Tether said , that so far from having : refa sed relief to the deceased , he mot him some time * g O , and , understanding that he lned in St . George ' s | para % told him to get a friend / y order for Lambeth , ; and h > 3 would at once be admitted . The room was I cleara % and ultimately the following verdict was ' returat a : — " That the deceased died of disease i of the lapgs , but at the same time we are ef ; opinion ^ his death arose in a great measure froir j destitution , and before application was m- ' parochial relief by the deceased hip ^ - ' [ we have no legal ev < c r c pro ^ - — »*« * o ^ cif , althou f . ^ jiheiflfiL "

      Singular Cask ( very !) . — A correspondent at Rusland sends us the following remarkable etatem , nt : ~ A girl , aged fourteen years , living in the village of Ruslaiid , of the name of Margaret Leece , lest a small gooseberry in at her ear . For a few days she complained of great pain in that ear ; but afterwards her parents heard no more of it until Monday morning last , when at breakfast she laughed heartily , and the berry came down at her nose . It was turned red , as if ripe . The writer can prove this by several witnesses who were there at the time . —Kendul Mercury .

      I A Fair Convsbt . — " Well , " said her Majesty to j the handsome Viscountess Jocelyn , " I wonder , my I dear , you could ever venture to marry a Tory , as your uncle Melbourne used to tell me they Were a horrible set of creatures V " I vow , " said tho I ci-devanl bed-chamber lady , " that I had a horror of Tories until I married Jocelyn , and now I am 80 well satisfied with him that I would not part with him for a score of Whigs . " " D'ye hear that !" said the sweet little lady , turning to Lady Eiliofc , themtendsd bride of Lord John Russell ; "I do begin to think , myself , that a young Tory must bo preferable any day to an old Whig . " Lord Palmerston turned on his heel , quite petrified .

      The Ship William Brown . —Some of tho circumstances connected with the wreck of the ship William Brown have already been laid before the English pnblic . The additional details now supplied are from the New York Eoening Post of tho 29 th ult . One John Master , a seaman on board of the William Brown at tho time of her wreck , gives this acoounVof the incidents in the small boat : — " Before leaving us the captain addressed tho boat ' s crew accordingly , desiringus to keep our hearts up , not to quarrel or fight among ourselves , but to bo advised by the mate , and do what he should desiro us . Ho then bid us good bye , and in fifteen minutes or so he was out of Bight . JJuring tho whole day the weather

      was extremely cold , and tho eea very Tough . We rigged a drag with our oars , in order to keep the boat's head to sea , and to break the force of the wives . Towards nightfall the mate consulted , in a low voice , with several of the crew about lightening the boat . I was aft at tho time , with my back against tho stern . At last he siid to me and another man who was near me , * Well , I suppose you have no objection to lead as a hand to lighten the boat V I enquired how he intended to do so , and , whilo I was speaking , I heard a splash alongside , and the whole boat was in an uproar—the work of death had commenced . The other man and myself both remonstrated against such cold-blooded

      proceedings , and said , If wo are to dio , let us dio fair —let us cast lots . ' ll Very we ]] , ' said the mate , they will throw you overboard next . ' I then drew ray shrath-knife , and swore that whoever should lay a hand on me should share my fate . The mate thea called a- tall negro , one of tho crew , aft , to to 3 s me overboard , but when be saw my knife he went forward again , and lent the others a hand . My companion stuck closo to me during this heart-rending scene , determined to defend himself to the last . One old m&n , a native of Ireland , when about to be seized , fell upon his kneos and entreated them to spare his life , and ho would give thtn all he had . Ho then drew from his pursq a uambcro'sovereigns

      and offered them to tho crew , but they were thrown aside , and himself passed overboard . A lad , about eighteen years of age , requested ' lime to say his prayers , which wasj ; ranted , und \ vheiiho concluded , he said , * I arn now prepared . I do not wish you to throw me overboard—I will go myself ; ' and he stepped off the gunwale into tho fcea Of all who wera thrown overboard , not one , to ray knowledge , succeeded in getting on board again . Thero wero no hands cut off , nor any blood spilt ; neither did any one , except the young man alroady mentioned , jump overboard voluntarily . The unfortunate pas-Fengers offered-no resistance ; prayers and entreaties were all they used . ' Oh , spare me ! spare me !' sevtral of them cried , even while they were half

      overboard . I will not attempt a description of this awful scene—it would melt , a heart of stoue . I believo there were sixteen thrown overboard . The boat was baled out after she had been lightened ; she then rode very well , and made but little water . The following morning I discovered a sail , and oommunieated the fact to the mate , who said , * By Gad , Jack , ynu ' ro a lucky fellow ; you have saved your life . ' Tho ship that picked us up , as is already known , was the Crescent . So strong was my indignation against the negro , that , upon reaching tho Crescent's deck , I seized a heaver and threw it at his head . All of the crew in the boat , excepting the mate and another man , were foreigners , or , as tailors say , Dutchmen , that is ; belonging to the continent of Europe . "

      Murder near Wymondham , Norfolk . —The town of Wymondham has been thrown into the greatest excitement by the disoovery of a murder , committed und ^ r circumstances of revolting barbarity , on Saturday last , by a young man named John Self , aged twenty , oh a young « irl only fifteen years of age . The girl , named Jemima Stirapson , had been for some time previously persecuted by Salf , and on Saturday last had been weeding corn in a held near Wymondham . Not returning home asufual for the night , her parents and the whole neighbourhood became alarmed . A starch was immediately made , and in the next field to that in which the girl had been at work , a place where a scuffle had apparently occurred was discovered , and a trace across the corn to a pit in which tho body of the deceased was found immerfiod . When taken out , and removed to tho Windmill public-house , her

      face vf as found dreadfully cut . There was an unsightly gash across her chin and eyes . Her throat was cut , and her nose nearly severed from her face , besides various bruises on the head , inflicted by some blunt weapon . John Self , who had previously borne a good character , was immediately apprehiiided ou suspicion , and underwent an examination boioro Isaac Jeremy , and W . It . Cann , Esqra ., at tho House of Correction , who committed h m for trial . A Coroner ' s Inquest on view of the body of the deceased , was held oh Monday last , before Edward Press , Ej-q ., of Hicham , at tho Windmill pablic-house , Wymondham , and an examination of a number of persons took place , from whoso evidence it appeared that deceased had sent a lad to ascertain the hour on Saturday afternoon , who returned with the information that it was four o ' clock , the last time deceased was seen alivo . Prisoner was seen

      going towards tue field at that time . After he had been apprthended , a penknife stained with blood was found on his person , and which was tho property of tho deceased . A spade was also found belonging to prisoner , stained with blood ; his clothes vrere also stained , besides other circumstance ? , which left little doubt of his guilt . The inquest wa 3 adjourned until Tuesday , but in consequence cf the prisoner having been removed to the Casile at Norwich , the Jury did not come to a verdict , not having had the priaoner before them . The magistrates have refused to send the prisoner back to Wymondham , and the inquest is therefore adjourned to the Castle of Norwich .

      Supposed Wbeck of thb President . —The latest accounts from America bring intelligence of a steamboat wreck on tha coast . Tne brig Augusta , on her passage , when about ninety miles south of Cspe Hatteras , at five am ., on the 24 th inst ., saw what proved to be tho wreck of a steam-boat , the middle part of the hull only was visible as it rose with the swell of the sea ; could clearly discover some part of the heavy machinery , such aa crank , shaft , &c . ; part of the frame of one wheel and the timber of her guards , were out of water , and appeared as if a

      boner had been thrown off ; could see no white streaks , a&d she had very much the appearance of baviDjj been on flro J saw no parson , and therefore did not think it necessary to board the wreck . The citizsns of Philadelphia and New Yorkseem to think that this must be the wreck of the President , which must have been burnt at sea . The Dusseldorf Gazette , under the date of Wesel , the 16 th instant , announces that the wreck of a large vessel , believed to be the President , had been driven ashore on tbe coast of Norway .

      United States . —The Philadelphia packet-ship , which sailed from S ^ lew York oa the 2 nd July , has arrived . The intelligence brought by her adds but little to that by the previous vessel . Mr . Clay ' s Bank Bill was being keenly debated in Senate , and so many amendments made , and so many more promised , tbat its original shape was almost wholly lost , aud great doubt existed if it would ultimately pass . Another scheme for a national bank had beea brought into the House of Representatives , and ordered to be printed . The price of wheat had risen to such a height , that were it not for the duty considorable importations would take plaoe . Tho crop was reported to be 6 hort , and ia the western counties particularly the prospects were very unpromising . The Stock Market was in a dull and depressed state .

      The Poors' Rate . —Sample of Assistant Oveksreas' Practice . —A person named Ready has been endeavouring to do as much mischief as his official character will allow among the humbler portion of the inhabitants of the parish of Heston . Desirous of accomplishing some deed that should procure him a reputation for zeal and activity , this worthy employed himself in getting no less than sixty PUm * inonses for poor-rates served upon , and amongst , the most necessitous of the inhabitants . Some of the parties he had never before applied to for the rate ; others had tendered htm half the amount demanded , being all their poverty could afford , and he refused it ! Several were paupers , actually receiving alms to the extent of Is . 6 d . a week from the parish , and

      a loaf of bread . Many of these persons were nearly eighty years of age , aud on © poer old man , turned of seventy , upon his appearauce before the Bench , produced to tho Magistrates a medal he had rcceivfcd from an Agricultural Society in the neighbourhood , for having worked on one farm forty years , and having brought up a largo family without any parochial assistance : the wife of this poor fellow had offered Mr . Assistaat-overseer 3 s ., onehalf of the rate , in part , which he refused to take . To the credit of humanity and common , sense , the presiding magistrates , Dr . Walmesley and Mr .

      Armstrong , excused more than two-thirds of the parties summoned , and in every instance forgave the coats ! By this oppressive manoeuvre of Mr . Assistant-Overseer , the parish ha 3 been saddled with a charge of £ 7 for the costs of the summonses and service ; which , if the parishioners do their duty , will be deducted from the £ 40 a year allowed Mr . Rrady for his readiness to grind the faces of the poor . Never waa one so acting more completely beaten , and in addition to the mortification of defeat , he carried away with him tho heartfelt curses ot tho poor he would have oppressed—uo enviable acquisition , one would imagine , even for an overseer .

      A Brute . —Thomas Kitt , of Lemon-street , Guildford-s" : reet , a man who is in the habit of preaching in the open air , was charged , at Union Hall Police Office , on Saturday last , with assaulting his own daughter , a girl of fourteen years of age , under the following circumstances : — A policeman of the M division stated that between nine and ten o'clock on the previous night , his attention was attracted on seeing the prisoner and a younjj £ ir ! sitting in one of the alcoves of the Southwark Bridge , the man apparently with his hands under her clothes . On perceiving that he was watched , the prisoner went off the bridg ' , followed by the girl , aud thoy ' went down the steps leading to Bankside , and up a court through which thero was no thoroughfare , and here

      the same policeman distinctly observed the prisoner in a most indecent situation wiihthe girl , whereupon he toak them both into custody , and when taken to the Station-house , the male prisoner said that the girl was hia own daughter , which turned out to be the fact , on subsequent inquiries at his house . The girl , when at the Station-house , appeared to be evidently under the influence of liquor , and when questioned sho got into BUch violent hysterics ,- that it was found necessary to send for a medical gentleman to attend her . W hen brought before the magistrate , the girl was perfectly collected , and having stated that the prisoner was her father , she said that she had been for some time past in a situation , and that sho returned homo a fuw days ago . Ou the preceding evening , her father told her that he would

      take her to a missionary meeting , and accordingly they left homo together ; but instead of taking her thero , he took her into a public-house , and made her drink ale until she became giddy , and he then took her t 9 tho Sputhwark Bridge . The girl here exhibited a strong disinclination to tell what happened to her thero ; but , upon being urged to teli the truth , she then desoribed the grosj and infamous behaviour of the prisoner ( her father ) towards her , which fully bore out the accuracy of the policeman ' s account of tho transaction . The prisoner , a decentlooking man , declared that he only took her on the bridge lor tho sake of the air , as she complained of being unwell . Mr . Cottingh&m— " What have you to say to taking her to the public-house , and making her drink , instead of to the missionary meeting ?" The prisoner hesitated , and gave a vague reply ,

      saying that ho admitted that he acted with great folly , and that ho drank some alo which disagreed with him . Ho added , that he had no remembrance whatever of having conducted himself towards his daughter in the way attributed to him , and that thero must have been some mistake . Mr . Cottingham said that the policeman and bis daughter had sworn to the facts , and a more infamous case could scarcely come under the cognizance of a magistrate . Tho magistrate said , that owing to the prejudicial effect on society at large the trial of such charges were calculated to have , ho should , on that account , not commit the prisoner , but should hold him to bail to be of good behaviour , and to give twenty-four hours' notice of its sufficiency . Tho prisoner was locked up . A Political Shaveb . —William Nicholson , a barber , living in Globe-lane , Miloend , was charged at the Court of Excise , on Saturday , with selling gin and boer without a license . Mr . Bolton , the ifficer , Blated that on . Sunday morning , during the hours of divine service , he was passing defendant ' s shop by mere chance , when ho entered to get shaved , and , to his utter astonishment , he found it crammed with coal-heavers , dustmen , aud other * , all of whom were drinking and smoking . The defendant was seated on a table , reading aloud from a newspaper , but upon catching a glimpse at witness , he stopped , and addressing him , said— " Welcome , brother politician , what is your business V' Witness having told him , the defendant immediately

      operated on his chin , and afterwards informed him that his charge for it was threepence , and he was at liberty , if he chose , to have a pipe of tobacco and a glass of gin , or a pint of porter , free of ex pence , at the same time inviting him to bo seated . Witness availed himself of the offer , and whilo there he drank and smoked , and paid a public-house price . He saw , at the lowest calculation , a gallon of gin consumed , and at least a barrel of beer . Defendant — " You say you were charged a public-house price ? " Witness— "I was . " Defendant— " How can you say that—I only charged you for shaving ?" Witness— " You first brought me a pint of beer and a pipe of tobacco , and took Zi ., saying , * Mind , this money has nothing to do with the ' cloud' and the

      'heavy . ' I give you these , ' and when you brought me a glass of gin , and received of me 2 d ., you said , ' Why , I am like a father to you .

This , Gentlemen of the Jury , will make me more cautf . oua of my good nature in future , I assure you . " ( M . uch laughter . ) Mr . Mayow— " Thero can be bo <\ oubt of your guilt .

Encounter with a Boa-Constrictor . —In the Surrey Zoological Gardens are several serpents , amongst which is an enormous boa , measuring upwards of twenty feet in length , and weighing mow than two hundred weight . Their food is put into the cage by a sliding panel , which one of the keepers , named Blackburn , was in the act of doing ,-when-iho enormous boa sprung at him and seized him by the arm . Theman leapt backwards , and drew the serpent partly out of thb cage , which immediately spnn nim round like a windlass , and made oue coil .

      The Census . —Manchester Township . —The following returns of the census for the town of Manchester include tho townships of Chorlton-on-Medlock , Hulme , Ardwick , &c . ; and whea it is considered that in some districts whole rowj of houses have been pulled down , and their sites occupied by railways , &c , the increase , it will bo eeen , has been very great .

      obtained from the five registrars' districts , which comprise the older , and better known fourteen police districts of the township . By referring to the official returns of the census of 1821 , and that of 1831 ,. taking thence the populations at those periods of tbe several police districts , included in the above return , in ono registrar's district , we obtain tho following result : —1821 , 108 , 016 ; 1831 , 142 , 026 ; 1841 , i 63 . 447 . Thus it will be seen thai the total increase of the population of the township , duriug the ten years ending in 1831 , wa 3 34 , 010 , or about 31 ^ per nent . The increase during the last ten years ^ ending last mouth , was 21 , 421 , or little more than 15 per cent .

      Toulouse . —Some riots have taken place at Toulouse , but the City is again tranquil . The following is given as an official account of the proceedings : — " On Monday the 12 th , in the afternoon , a great number of workmen quitted work and forced their comrades to imitate them . They went in * body to the Porte St . Etieane , and there seized ia private houses pieces of wood and other materials for a barricade . Whilst the barricades Were forming , some went to the Veterinary School , to get the students to join them . The- latter refused ; and on& of the rioters being aent te > warn the authorities , was obliged to turn back > wider penalty of being thrown into the canal . Tea barricades were made ,

      and towards half-past iowr the rioter * marched to the Prefecture . They weie repulsed ; and seeing the number * of troops , fell back behind the barricade . The rioters then got . upon the roots ot the Equare , in which the Prefecture is , and flung the tileB on tho soldiers below . Tho General ( Saint Michel ) was struck by a atone on the thigh . Another General had bia howe wounded . Stones and tilea rained on the ' soldiers . One of the mob , called , Charvades was bayoneted and died . While the riot cnthel 2 ih was j ; oiag «» , th « Provisional Municipality , accompanied by officers of the National Guard , went to the Prefect and "questedhintto call out tho National Guard . The Prefect ( M . Mahnl ) thought himself bound to give his conae ^ - AA niRhttall the National Guard assembled on the-Place du Capitole , occupied that post , and joined the troops of the Line in protecting the Prefecture .

Tho detachment of the National GaardBstationed » t the prison was forced , the door was attempted to be broken open * and one of the panels had given way , whZbe Provisional Mayor promised to release the Sners on the following day under bail .
