      ilxions to make ill dmtmstsnces conduce to the j | ft 1 it * ik > B of the means necessary for ensuring it t rough the latter medium . The greatest st « p to-^ jrds this which has been yet taken , is the unseatj ^ j of th e Whigs . Whipped from the mess , the hun . bj wolves will howl most ravenously ; and though Bcsseix and a few others similarly gorged with Chnrch and people plunder , may prefer political extinction to the chances attendant on the recognition of right principles , there are not a few , on whose backs the hair grows more thinly , who will be ready enough to swallow pledges of any character , jrn&ting to the chapter of accidents , to furnish excuses for their violation . To ma ^ e these the

      BBwilhng iosiraments in the accomplishment of ibar awn professed Intentions , we mast haTe thirty or fp » 7 thorongo-gobg Chartist Members in the text House ; more than that we may have , if the people do their duty , and the dissolution comes not too hastily on ns ; and these will go hold the balance of the nation ' s power as to mike the nation ' s will to be respected ja its own House . For the procuring of this band of Teterans to battle with the factions , every means B 1 ut be instantly put , and incessantly kept , in fperaiioa , to con vie ce the ten-pounders that their balding of the franchise is a trost , and that their personal interest will be best served by the honest

      and feiihfnl discharge of tnat trust . Let ten the people learn to know their friends jud to avoid their enemies , and they have done Bnefc towards the attainment of their object . Jf ething , howeTer , is well done , in which anything vbieh might have been done is left undone . The people must not only see to the exercising of their jast influence over the ten-pound voters now on £ t register , but" ihey " mast see that the law j&- «« ie to do every thing for which faction has sot utterly incapacitated it towards

      jjair own enfranchisement . The next register must jjtt upon i ; every thorough-going Chartist , who by aBj fair con 3 tracrioa can succeed in preventing the fictions and tbe : r paid agents Irom depriving him of the power to voie . We must hare done with all fasfcdioasaess about " rates" and "shilling" paying . Pat anything ; fnbmit to everything to get on the register , azid so to obtain the means at fighting the people ' s foes with their own weapons . As useful » nd Deeesary instructions for this purpose , we have eopied the following from a cotemporary , and recommend it to the attention of our readers : —

      "HOW 10 EXTEXD THE SUFFSjGE . u Every person , who is in the occupation of any house , vsreboose , counting-bopse * shop , workshop , stable , £ ed , or other bcilding , -wortfiTElO per year , U entitled to be on the register of Tofcers for the city or borough in-rikii it is situate , II be has been in occupation of » aii premises from the 31 st of July last < 1 S 40 j , or in lOTenl such premises in saceeaaon , in the name city or baroagh- . - - " It 15 necessary that it should be clearly understood •» Jsst Ute revising barristers hold to be ' Houses , ware houses , counting-housea , shops , and other buildings , ' » iich are as follo-WB , vix . : — " 'House . —A house is a separate dwelling , approached to a door from the open air . '

      « Any person therefore occupying apartments , and b * iirLg eoctronl orei the outer door , is held to be a holier , attt » ogh he may allow others the use of such door . As atngt misunderstanding has existed on this subject , it Aoald therefore be particularly obserred that the pos session of a separate door is only necessary for ihose who daim for a bouse , and not necessary for the occupiers of vuehooses , counting-houses , shops , 4 c " Warehouse . —A -warehouse is a store-room for mer chandise oi goods naed in trade . " * 1 Couniii , ^ -house . —A counting- house is a room in which a person in trade keeps his books and accounts , whether it be a separate building , o . - only a room in a bouse for that purpose . " '

      ' " Shop , —A shop is a place for the sale of goods , or a room in which manufactures are carried on , as a workshop , which may be either a detached place , or a loom In a house used as such : so that a tailor , shoe-Baker , ice , holding aa apartment oi apartmeuU , and working is one room -worth 4 a per week is entitled to be on the register . " ' '" O&cr Buildings . —May be a stable , Bhed , storehouse , stall , separate building used as an office or school , ^ fctV-soose , cow-house , " ' ic " Any person , therefore , occupying any each premises w at » Te described , worth 4 s . per week , and not nud tor them , should immediately claim to be rated , u the Referm Act requirss all psraoas either to be ntad or to bare claimed to be rated .

      " The overseers do not always consider it necessary to alter the rating where the landlord pays the rates , more especially for shops , < tc , being part of booses ; but if the part ; claming should be rated , he can deduct tte amount from his rent . - " Ac form of claim to be rated is absolutely ceces s » i 7 , s Terhal application to an oTerseer being sufficient ; bat the following may be adopted : —

      A CLAIM TO BE BATED . " To the OTerseers of the parish of " I hereby give you notice , that I occupy a , at . 3 f o . , in street in your parish , and I claim to fee rated to the relief of the poor in respect of such piesases , in order that I may be entitled to voie in the election of Member * of Parliament for the city of West-Kiaster .

Give this claim to an OTeseer , and carefully preserve a correct copy ; the pencn who serres ihe ri » im should immediately ¦ write on the copy to whom the claim was dfcliTered , and the o » j of the month .

Ki , Jra . — Tie are sorry not to have his app robation , but cannot help it : we think he takes a toe restricted view of the subject , We have no doubt there are some individual localities

      in which , at the late elections , the Ballot might have served , to some extent , the people ' s came ; that , however , is not the question . The question is , whether it would not , as a general practice , militate against us in the present stale of ihe franchise—and we are decidedly of opinion that it tcoidd . B . Stott . — We think his present song not so good as his former one . A Membeb of the Wesletau Society sends us a letter to the Wes ' eyan Methodists of Manchester , from which we give the following : — " / wish our ministers minutely to examine Mr . O'Connor ' s letters io the Irish landlords , especially that in the Northern Star of July 24 th . A ' oir , what I

      wish is , that every preacher of our society ( especially the present conference J would examine that letter , and either plainly and candidly refute , and point out its errors ( if there are any ) , or otherwise candidly embrace , and use all their influence to accomplish its object . In my opinion , it points out a full , complete , and only remedy for our present temporal national calamities . And this I do , and must , and will believe , till I see it fairly refuted . I wish all the ministers of Christ either to point out Mr . O'Connor ' s errors , or otherwise io embrace them as important truths , and -use ail the means in their power to accomplish the same . And I beg respectfully is tell them , that if they intend to be made extensively useful to the souls of men , they must noic be / tn by manifesting far more regard than they have done for their poor , pined , naked , backs , bellies , house * and bodies . Indeed

      the best tcay of di >\ ng good to men s souls w to u heap coals of melting love upon their heads , " by doing good to their bodies . Brethren , some of you have read Mr . O'Connor ' s letter : I advise you all to read it : and as you have a majority of our preachers among you at present , put it into their hands , and atfc their candid opinion upon the same . " W . H . CBeMS , of Newport , has written us a long letter in contradiction to thc sialtmerits contained in ihe letter of Win . Edwards , inserted in our last paper . Mr . Cronin denies that Mr . Edwards was ¦ proposed at all as a Jit and proper person to bring the principles of the Charter before the public—such mofion never bring put at all ; but , on the contrary , the meeting were unanimous in favour of Dr . Price , —it being , however , understood that in the event of Dr . Price declining to cc > me forward , Mr . Edwards was then to be im'iled . Mr . Cronin asserts

      positively , that Mr . Edwards did promise , not only to support the Doc ' or , but to nominate him at the hustings . Mr . Dlckemon , he says , was not asked to support Dr . Price . Mr . C , after some lengthy remarks upon Mr . Edwards ' s conduct , says , addressing him : — " You say , If ihe Doctor arrived at Atonmouih before the Court opened , you would not allow yourself to be put in nomination . Xow , Sir , I oik you , what did you leave Newport for ? was it not with an idea of putting yourself in nomination 1 I ask you again , what length of time the hall was open before I announced to the people that Dr . Price , the Chartist candidate , teas come ? If you ansicer irtie , you wi . l sag , not Iwenly jmkuUs . You knota

      there were different applications made to the Mayor of Monmouth , requesting him to admit Dr . Price as a candidate ; you know I sent in a printed bill io the Mayor , which contained Dr . Price ' s name , giving the Mayor to see that there was a candidate in the field ; but no answer came back . But you were a little more kind tchen you were applied to , and sent the following ansu-er : " You must do your own work yourselves when the time comes . '' Xoic ihis proves the time was not come , though you say the Doctor was not there in lime . You then go on to say that a friend of ihe Monmouth electors , trJto teas with you . at the time , a ± ked you if you would have

      yourself put in nc . minntion 1 to which you replied , " tes , as there was no orie else . Now , mark , tliere trere « o Monmouth electors there , with the exception of Mr . BuiUry , who accompanied me to thc Inn . Let Buttery amwer this . The question was never asked by Buttery , or any other , in my hearing , relative to you being put in nomination . I told you , in the presence ef Mr . Buttery , that Newport decided in favour of Dr . Price , and that you knew it . You then said you had nothing , io do -with the Newport people : thai It was the-Monmouth people you had to do with . I asked you if you were going t \ i put yourself in nomination ? You answered * Yes . ' I told xiou

      tfie doctor was coming , and you were to nominate him . You said you wou d not nominate any man unless he uere preserit to explain our principles to the people . I then remonstrated with i / ou for yovr cuuduct ; when , at last , you consented to propose him if he came in time . " L ., MaKK 1 > CH . —His stanzas next week .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE > 0 RTHEBN STABSie , —Could you preTail upon any of the Chartist leaders to give lectures on this subject , vre are of ophiion the circulation of the Star mi ^ ht be doubled , and the cau > e strengthened in the same ratio . If those Taldable letters of Mr . O'Connor , upon Agriculture , eou ! d be pushed into every Irish cabin , we might calculate upen the assistance of a goodly number of ihe fritze coa . is in favour of our principles . We consider i : to be the dutj of eTery man , more especially Irishmen residing in this country , to send a Star to Ireland , to lei the labourers know their r ^ hts , ana knowing ihem , unite with the workies of this country in demanding Universal Suffrage . Had this plan ' been adopted belore Lowery went to been \

      Dublin , he would in nil probability ha ^ e heard , and instead of groans we should baTe had chetrs for the Chartists . How can we expect mea to be Chartists who never heard of the Charter ! Our principl- s being founded on uniTersal justice , have only to be seen to be at once adopted . But they must he sent into every couage before we can count on a majority in oar favour . Let every Chartist become a missionary in the good cause by sending a Star , oLfcer democratic paper , and success will most undoubie&lv attend our efforts .

      I » EEDS . —Charge of Rape—On Monday last , William Carter , a decent looking man from Holbeck , sra& charged with having committed a rape on Anu Bartliffe , an unmarried woman , on Thursday night la ? t . The woman was found oa Hunslet Moor , at eleven o'clock at night , by a watchman , in a state of exhaustion , and with evident marks of ill-treatment . Prom the information she gave , the man was taken into custody , but when the case came to be heard , it appeared that she had been drinking with the man and some others , at a public-house on the Dewsbury road , and she uot wishing to say that she made any resistance , or auy outcry , the obarge was dismissed . The Briwst . ER Sessioks . —We are given to understand , that the Breweter Sessions for thU borough have been fixed to be held oa Monday , tha 30 th of August next .

      Rewards to Police Officers . —On Friday last , at the weekly meeting of the Watch Committee , a reward of £ 3 was awarded to Sergeant Hepworth , who has been for some time acting ; as inspector ; and a reward of 30 s . to policeman Sotheran , who is acting aa sergeant . Fireworks . —On Monday evening , Mr . Hadfield , of Sheffield , gave his promised display of fireworks in the yard of the White Cloth Hall . The evening was at first highly favourable , but a threatened shower at near eleven o ' clock had the effect of rather curtailing the exhibition . The principal pieces , however , and a very considerable number of minor ones were let off , and these fully sustained Mr . Hadfield ' a previously obtained and well-deserved celebrity . We are sorry the company was not so numerous as it ought to have been to have remunerated the artist .

      Sudden Death . —On Tuesday evening , an inquest was held at the house of Mr . Spink , Black Bull , in Land's-lane , before E . C . Hopps , Esq ., on the body of Francis Stabbs , a book-keeper , late in the employ of Mr . Pearson , carrier . He was found dead in bed on Monday , and rumours were spread that he had taken poison . These rumours were set at rest by a post mortem examination , which snowed the entire absence of any thing wrong , and proved that he had died from natural causes aJone , and the jury returned a verdict accordingly . The deceased was 35 years of age .

      WCLVERHAWPTOW . —The working men of this place , have acted with a degree of spirit , and in a manner which must prove to the " education mongers" that they , at least are not without intelligence . They viewed with disgust the conduct of an official named Castle , who , some weeks ago , was charged with an indecent assault upon a young female , and being determined that their sentiments should be known , they got up and presented the following requisition to the constables : — " Gentlemen , —We , the undersigned inhabitant householders of Wolverhampton , hereby respectfully request you to conyene a public meeting of our fellow townsmen , to take into consideration the propriety of addressing the commissioners under the Wolverhampton Town Act , upon the subject of the conviction of R . Ca&tle , inspector of police , for an indecent assault upon a young female , named Mary Warner : —

      In compliance with this requisition , Mr . R . S . Walker , one of tho constables , to his credit be it spoken , convened a meeting , which took place at the public-office , Wolverhampton , last Tuesday evening . Mr . YVilcock , a working man was called to the chair ; after which , eo numerous was the attendance , an adjournment was made iuto the open air , where the *• workies" showed their majesty . It was no pelitical meeting , but was called to prove whether society was to be outraged and industry insulted with impunity ; and if an official of the town was to ride rough-shod over the feelings of the mechanic and the artizin . There were tight resolutions proposed , and carried unanimously , seven or eight thousand stalwart arms and blistered hauds being held up for each . The speakers were all of

      the working class , but all their names we have not been furnished with ; amongst them , however , were Messrs . Wilcock , Mogg , Manning , and Candy , who did themselves great credit . The principal resolution vras to the effect , that if the Town Commissioners do not immediately dismiss Castle , thc meeting , as rate-payers , would not pay the townrate ; and pledging themselves , should any ratepayer be distressed , to support him iH any expence ivhich might be incurred in residing that rate . Vute 3 of censure were passed on the magistrates before whom Castle ' s case was preferred , and on the proprietor of the Wolverhampton Chronicle ; after which , the meeting having lasted for nearly tour hours , dispersed , a- ter a hearty rote of thanks to the chairman , and to Mr . Walker , the constable .

      RICHMOND . —A > Extraordinary Circumstance . —A Cheviot ewe , the property of Mr . Halph Fenwick , of Gayies , near Richmond , lambed a single lamb on the fir ^ t week in May last , and after an interval of ten weeks , she produced another lamb , which she is now suckling , aud has quite discarded her former one . BRADFORD . Female Lecturer . We perceive that a lady named Chapelsmith is to deliver two lectures on Monday and Wednesday evenings , in ttie Social Institution . She professes to grapple with giganuc evils , and to discuss theit lemeclie ? . The first lecture is to be " on the present condition of our country , the Charter remedies ; progress of machinery and competition ; proofs that our foreign tracic is lost never to be restored , and that a , change in the arrangements of society is necessary and unavoidable . In the second lecture she proposes to consider the Corn Laws and the National Debt .

      Db . eadpi .-l a . si > Fatal . Accident . —On the night of Thursday wetk , Mr . Peter Laycock , of this town , spirit-merchant and brewer , was killed under very extraordinary aud painful circumstances . Our Bradford readers need not be intormed that he had lately built a magnificent building at the top of Ivegate , for the sale of spirits , which might justly aspire to be called a gin palace . A large portion of the stone for the building had been quarried out of ihe site , and the excavation formed into cellars , as deep as the building was high above the ground , viz , three stories . Behind the building this deep quarry lay uncovered . At the bottom water had been bored for , which asct nded into a ho ' . e in the bottom two or three yards deep , and filled it with

      water . Mr . Laycock had begun to build some rooms on the back part of the dram shop , and had gotten them a little above the ground , and laid a number of deal battens a foot broad , and about an inch and a half in width , edgeway as rafters or supporters for the floor . This floor was covered with planks , and loaded very imprudently with an immense quantity of stoneB , &c . On the night in question , Mr . Laycock went upon this floor about six o ' clock , with one of the masona to view the work . As he was returning the floor gave way , and he was precipitated to the tremendous depth below into the hole filled with water ; besides being followed by the stones on the floor ; the battens in giving way had

      twisted sideway , and bronght down upon him a large quantity of the newly-built superincumbent wall . Very prompt assistance was obtained , but it was about an hour before the stones could be removed and he could be got out of the water ; of course , we need not say quite dead . It iB believed that before he reached the water , he fell with his head against a projection of rock , as it had hair aud blood on it , and would therefore be killed on the spot . He was conveyed home on a door covered with a sheet , and accompanied by hundreds of people . His wife ( a second one ) was near Preston at the time , but was gent for . He has left four children by a former wife . Ivo accident that has jocctured in this town has caused such a sensation .

      NOBFOUC—More Blessings ov the Bastiues . ~ -a correspondent at Norwich has handed us the following , which he requests may be added to the black catalogue of atrocities perpetrated under the Banetton of the Whig-concocted starvation Jaw , The statement is in the handwriting of the unfor * tunate vjctim , who , at the close of a long and in-i dustnous life , unsullied by any other crime than poTerty , is doomed by the irreeponsibles to worse wan death . Our correspondent says : — " William Marjoram , 4 ge « l seventy-seven years , "was ordered by the humane Governor of the S « vainsthorp Union House , Norfolk , to work in the gravel pit ; being unable to do such work , he withheld from the unfortunate man the tea and sugar allowed to the aged . The case having been referred to the surgeon , he ordered

      that he-should be allowed it Marjoram was then ordered to the pomp , which work was also too nard for him .

P ., with placing a piece of iron called a " ohair , ' weighing about 28 . bs ., upon the rails of the Manchester and Leedg Railway , near Healey Mill . It appeared from the evidence of a lad named Joseph Holroyd , aged fourteen , that he , along with his younger brother , went with the defendant on the previous evening to the railway , and the defendant put the iron on the rails , aud

      asked witness for some band to tie it ; he did not give him any , bat told him to come away , as he was doing wroDg . Witness ' s brother , aged thirteen , corroborated this statement . They went away , leaving the iron on the raita . An engine driver deposed that he was going on the up line , when he discovered the iron upon the down line . He immediately stopped the train , and took the iron off . It was fixed as firm as it could be , without being tied . They passed the down train at Cooper Bridge . Mr . Holdsworth , addressing defendant , said it was a most serious and awful offence , and he felt it his duty to punish him ; he should fine him £ 5 and costs , and in default of payment three months' imprisonment , and he hoped it would be a warning to him and others . The defendant was committed .

      MR . R . J . RICHARDSON AND HIS APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC AGAINST THE CHARTISTS OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE . TO T 11 E CHARTISTS OP SOUTH I . ANCASHIRE , AND , THROUGH THEM , TO THE PEOPI / K OF THE out ed kingdom . Feliow Labourers in the Cause of Truth and Justice , —We have seen the Northern Star of July 17 th , in which is a letter , signed R J . Kicbardson . In that letter your honesty is questioned , and a foul libel attempted on your character . It is our anxious desire thar even-handed justice be meted out to every man , we , therefore , attended at the Advertiser office , and procured a correct statement of the matter aUuded to in Mr . Richardson ' s letter . The facts of the

      case are us follows : —The amount of the whole debt brought against Mr . Richardson , on behalf of the Mancheater Political Union is £ 16 16 s . 8 d . Mark , out of tti » sum there were £ 5 5 s . paid for printing 1 , 000 reports of the first Kersal Moor Demonstration . This Was a private speculation of Mr . Richardson ' s own , aud new he brings this debt of his own against you . There is in the account £ 3 for printing 1 , 500 cards of npmbership for the Manchester Political Union ; these cards were soI 4 at 6 d . each . The amount of the 1 , 500 cards , when sold , and sold they were , is £ 37 10 s . Now , mind the £ 5 6 s . of his own speculation the people nave nothing to do with , and deduct the £ 5 5 s . from the £ 16 16 s . 6 d ., and you have left £ 11118 . 8 ., and to meet this expense there ought to be £ 37 10 s .: so

      that this might be comfortably paid , and a balance of £ 25 183 . 8 d . left . Mr . Richardson knows very well tbat when he was remonstrated with by the working men in Newall' a Buildings , on the unnecessary and extravagant expencea he and bis party were going to , Mr . Riehanfcoa hiiuMir replied , "Nevermind the money matters ; there Is enough of that You get up the people ; we will see tbat the money la right" By whose authority , or for for whose benefit , were 1 , 000 reports printed ? Where ore the books of the Union ? Who were the money stewards , auditors , treasurer , &c ? Where are the minutes of the Uuion ? Let these things be produced , and we hesitate aot V > say , but the working men of Manchester and Its

      vlcicity will pay every just claim made upon them , when fiirly brought forward and clearly proved . The reading of Mr . Richardson ' s letter might lead people to beiieve that he was unjustly treated by the working men of Manchester for his services in the Convention , and that he made great sacrifices by attending that body . The answer to that part of hia letter Is , that he received £ 5 per week , besides travelling expences ; and , aa to him atteuding the Palace Y » rd meeting , at his own expence , it is utterly false . The fact is , there was money collected , and his expences paid to aud from Ljudon on that occasion ; so that you have a plain statement of facts ; and , if others are required , we assure you they shall be forthcoming . As such you must judge for yourselves .

      TO THB EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —I am rejoiced to inform you , and , through you , the country , that London is shaking off ils sleep , and will soon arise " like a giant refreshed . " In Bpite of tho backward-move men , there is a revival of Chartism in London ; the associations in tho different localities are being re-organised , and they will , in futvire , take especial care to avoid the sunken rocks which broke them up before ; in a word , they will be aware of the Lovettites . The leaders in London have libelled the men , to excuse their own Bupiutness ; but the meu are now awaking , and -will shake off all intimidating and treacherous friends " as dew-dropa from a lion ' s mane . "

      But what I am most rejoiced to tell you is , that the trades are coming out The masons ( all honour to them . ' ) have led the way ; tke coppersmiths have followed ; the tailors are likely te be the next , and we shall have all the rest iu their turns ; with the exception , perhaps , of the carpenters , as they are most under tb « benumbing influence Of Lovett and Co ., the London torpedos . When the trades are all out , they will carry London , and London will carry the Charter ; if not , the country will without it We shall soon have a trade wind , and then we shall sail merrily on to the harbour where the full tide of the people will roll in and fill up the measure of content to all . I am also happy to inform you that a Female Chartist Association is being formed iu London , bo that if the men won't lead , the women will , and then see if the men won't follow .

      Our greatest perils are among " false brethren ; " we have bard work of it ; but we shall " reap in due time , if we faint not " I am , dear Sir , Your fellow strirer in the causa , JOHN Watkins . 9 , Bell-Yard , Temple-Bar , 2 Stb . July , 1840 .

      FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Wednesday Evening , July 28 / h . The utter stagnation in politics , affords to the scribblers of both factions time for speculation , as to the probable issue of events , whether Sir Robert Peel shall have the reins of Government , or the Whigs , by some desperate coup de main continue to hold office ; indeed , it appears that from Lord John ' s city manifesto , that the present Ministers intend to be politely kicked out of office , and are only waiting for the foot to be placed to their seat of honour , Eoas to enable them to fall down gently after receiving another quarter ' s pay , the receipt of which they are determined to have . Though both parties are shewing that they are hungry and poverty-struck , there is much to hope from the gradual yet sure steps which the friends of Chartism are taking , and the activity which begins to be exhibited here iu London , and which I hope will soon assume a more bold aud determined front .

      THE WHIG REFORM BILL . No matter who may murmur at the recent triumph of tha Tories at the hustings , the Whigs have no right to complain . They bad the manufacturing of the Reform Bill , aud the efftct of the measure has been that in nine years it has given the Tories an overwhelming majority . The Whigs , however , do complain , and bitterly complain , but defeat has not improved their understanding . They are compelled to acknowledge that they have been driven disgracefully from many places where they were heretofore thought omnipotent , but they refuse to admit the true cause of their discomfiture . They are not unpopular—if we are to credit themselves —it is only the people who are apathetic . Had the Reformers who are entitled to the franchise registered

      their votes a glorious majority for the Queen and her ministers would kave been the sure result . How ia this difficulty to be overcome , and Whig ministers , who will do nothing for the country , secured in their occupaticnfe&Downing-ataeetf lbs Morning Chronieie is ready With a eut-and-dry plan which will doubtless meet with due consideration . The liberal electors , it seems , will not take the trouble of attending at the Registry Courts to Beek the right of the suffrage , and the Chronicle recom mends that the wealthy and titled should exert their influence to urge their dependants to come forward , and even contribute to defray the expence of registration . This done , the Chronicle is confident

      the WhlftB must be restored to office in a very short time . " The battle must be fought at the Registry , " will now be theory ; but it will quickly die , without ever putting much money in the pockets of barristers and attorneys . There are throughout the country millions of disfranchised persons anxious to obtain the suffrage , and from whom It is unjustly withbeld . What would the Chronicte think of conferring it upon them ? Ah ! here is the point that bothers the Whig , and exposes him as a hypocritical and empty pretender . He would make vain professions of liberality ; but is nevertheless as unwilling as the Tory to extend the constitutional privilege of the people . — World , Dublin paper .

      EXTENSIVE FAILURES . Glasgow , July 24 . —A great sensation has been created in the commercial circles in this city , and over the west of Scotland , by an extensive run of bankruptcies which have taken place during the \ a ,-n three days amongst the shawl-manufacturers and shawl-merchants of Paisley . We extract a notice of the occurrence from one of the local papers , but , in addition , our correspondent of Glasgow writes that the leading causes of the disasters in business

      which have for some time been going on in that city have been principally the extensive connections that have been formed with America , the crippling of trade from the embarrassment iu that country , owing , in a special degree , to the restrictive provisions of the British commercial code , which prevent the Americans from meeting their engagements by the transmission of the superabundant grain on that continent , aa article which was at the time much wanted by the suffering manufacturing population in Scotland .

      The embarrassments which have now burst out at Paisley , to the consternation of all whoareacquaintod with the town , as wo have just staged , took their origin in those of America , in 1837 . Since that time most Of those who had been in the American connexion have boen carrying oa business under great difficulties ; and in too many instances , we are sorry to state , they have been making goods and effecting sales more with the view of meeting former engagements , thau with the intention of realising profits . The great object seems to have been with many just to effect sales , that , with a run of new biilo , at whatever cost they could be obtained , they might turn their hand , and remove those running , as they fell due .

      It is almost needless to state , that a necessary consequence ef such a 6 yscem of doing business has been to drive houses with real capital fairly out of trade , or , at least , to make them temporarily suspend their transactions , which to a great extent , has been the case in that quarter fur some time past , and thus a limited and unhealthy market has been left almost entirely in the hands of persevering speculators , whose principal means of existence was the sacrificing of tke property of those who have been so simple as to trust them with it .

      To such a reckless length has this practice been carried on in Paisley , that in the present run of failures there are several instances of young men , who within these few year 9 were well known to have commenced without capital , aud who have now gone down—the lowest of them for upwards of ^ 5 , 000 , and some of them for as much as £ 25 , 000 . The current paper of one shawl merchant in that town , who failed this week , is said to be in one bank no less thau £ 50 , 000 , and in another £ 30 , 000 , independent of smaller sums in the other banks ; and a considerable part of the houses in this range of connection which has gone to the wall , have paper afloat to the amount of from £ 20 , 000 to £ 40 , 000 .

      After these statements it cannot but be obvious that the banks are greatly to blame , by their first encouraging speculation in thus discounting to so enormous an amount , and next , as is clearly understood to have been the case , in suddenly withdrawing their support , regardless of the resslt , and from no better motive that can be discovered than the whim of those who direct secret affairs ia the bankers' parlours . In addition to the circle of failures at Paisley , rumours , which we are afraid are too well founded , are this afternoon afloat , of some extensive failures

      in this city ( Glasgow ) likewise , which are quite certain to bring down a great number more . Indeed , such are the surprise and consternation , and SHch is the uncertainty of what houses are re \ lly down and what houses have merely suspended payments , combined with the reports against others that are perfectly solvent , tbat wo conceive it uusafc to com ment Ai / ther on these affairs in this communication ; but , as soon as the result is more fully known , we shall not fail to lay it before the public . Neither shall we fail to trace to its BOurce and expose what may appear to be the cause of such an unwholesome and improper state of things , in this or any other commercial country . —Morning Chronicle .

      Finding the Body of a Man dndeb PECtfLria Circumstances . — On Monday night last two men , brothers , named Tubbey , were employed to empty a privy-used by the workmen in the London Docks , but the soil of which is outside the dock wall in Penuington-street . In removing a large flag stone which covers tha cesspool , the pickaxe of one passed through some substance floating on the top of . the soil , and which the men took to bo a bundle of rags . On looking at it more closely the men discovered it to be the body of a man , but in so advanced a state of decomposition that not a feature was discernible , and it presented a frightful spectacle . It was taken ud , and a shell being procured it was removed to the

      bonehouseof the parish of St . John , Wapping , to wait the coroner ' s inquest . It is impossible from the construction of the building on tho dock side Of the wall tbat the deceased could have fallen among the soil , and there is little doubt that he came by his death by tumbling into the hole on the Penoingtonstreet side two years ago , when the place was last emptied . Tho deceased , judging from hiB having aa old pair of canvass trousers on , appears to have been a tailor , but what his age was it would be quite impossible to conjecture . Information of the circumstance has been forwarded to Mr . Baker , the coroner of the district , in order to au inquest being held on the body .

      Beli ! . ase of Mr . Mephurst fkom Phisos . —This person , whose case has Uieiy acquired renewed interest in the eyes of the public in consequeucooi ' the erasure of the name of Mr . H . Moreton Dyer from the commission of the peace for the county of Middlesex , was on Saturday last , released from his confinement in the Houset > f Correction , Coldbath-fieldil , upon an order sent down from the Home-office . It appears that for some time his health has been oa the decline , and that since the interference of-Mr . Dyer in his affairs the symptoms of an internal difr ease , the early stages ot which had previously manifested themselves , have been greatly aggravated To such an extent had these symptoms increased that it was found necessary to can for the advice and

      assistance of au eminent physician , whose opinion was of a nature to induce the visitmg justices ot the prison to forward a certificate as to the s . a ' . e of tho patient to the Marquis of Normanby . Subsequent visits tended to confirm the original impression of the medical attendant as to the danger of tho attack " , and further certificates were sent to the Noble Marr quis , describing the character of the disease , ae ^ - eompanied with the expression of a conviction , that unless Mr . Medhurst were set at liberty the worst result was to be anticipated . The excitement created in the miud of the prisoner by the recent proceedings , arising out of the aliegeti prwpositioa of the ex-magistrate is supposed to bathe cau ^ e to which his prescut coudition may be attributed . :

      Failuue of the Totnes and Wewton Banks . — The utmost consternation and gloom were spread through this town by the failure of these banks Mauy an honest yeoman who came to market comfortable in mind and pocket , went away almost broken-hearted . On Saturday afternoon , and during Monday , the town was crowded by people , who came in to inquire , in most oases , alter their lost alU It was painful to hear the numerous cries of sudden ! distress into which hundreds of honest and industrious persons of all classes have been thrown . In many cases this has beeu rendered more severe front this being the time the dividends on the funds are paid . —Devonshire Chronicle .

      EXTBAOKDINARY ESCAPE FROM PfilSON . —PLYmouth , Sunday , July 25 . —This morning , when Cook , one of the town sergeants , took their breakfasts into a cell where three men were confined , one of them , named Randell , who is under sentence of transportation for fourteen years , snatohed the prison keys from Cook ' s baud , and with them inflicted s violent blow on his forehead , which knocked him down and stunned him * He then produced a kuife , and u ? ing threats , he stripped off the town-ser ^ eat'tf trousers , and put them on himself ; he pocketed two sovereigns and twenty-shillings in ailver , and Cook a watch ; he took a frock-coat from a . lellow prisoner , and having with cords lashed the town-sergeant on the prison bed , with his face downwards , ao took a bundle of spare clothes under bis arm , ana made HIS escape . It was some time before the police , who are in another part of the building , heard the disturbance . On their reaching the cell they found the

      other prisoners unfastening the cords irom Cook , who was obliged to be putto bedinhisownappartment . One of the remaining prisoners is called Martiu ; he is under sentence of transportation for 6 eveu v ^ ars ; the other ia undergoing an imprisonment Jor six month ? . They both declare they were afraid to interfere in consequence of Randell ' s threats . The escaped convict , m the year 1837 , was soht to the hulks for seven years , for a robbery .
