( Tntn his r . ev wi on Canada . ) With me , in the prison , thinp remained in the same state , until a little after one o'clock , on Monday , when j ibe Sheriff , accompanied by some officers and citizens , ; entered my apartment , and , with a melancholy shake of ; his head , handed me a letter from the Governor to him , \ aa Sheriff of the home district : it was , in fact , what ; they termed there a death warrant ; bnt was enly an / TfB <* i » i letter , saying , that his Excellency and Council , \ having taken into consideration the prayer at the pri- < ¦ oner ' s petition , could see no good reason why he should j interfere with the due course of the law ; and concluded I ky saying , " You are , therefore , commanded to have » the sentence of the law carried into effect on the body ' of the prisoner , to-morrow morning , at seven o ' clock . " i As Alderman , whose name was Dickinson , I think a j
saidler , asd master of one of the Orange lodges , begged j my forgiveness for the insult he had offered me the- * day I entered the prison- He was the person who had i expressed the wish that I might never come oat until j the morning when I should be executed . He said he j felt sorry for what he had said , and that be had done f all he could to atone for it by making intercession for I me—that be would still strive to aid me , and leave i nothing undone that might aid him in accomplishing (' his org ~ ct- The man was tree to his word . I after-. wards learned that he was indefatigable in his exer- j tions , and , Orangeman as he was , 1 can say with grati- j tude to him and others , advocates of thai , to me , loathing j system , that they forgot every difference , poEtical stud ' ¦ religious , a-cd looked upon me only as their coun ' - rv . ; man , and with suck feeling they joined their Catholic > . countrymen to save cy life . j "W ould to God it conld ever be thus , that there could
be union of sentiment and interest , and that they would < be no longer the dnpes of designing knaves , who keep " ; them at variance , that they may rule , and ride over ; their necks with cars and chariot wheels cf their own ; creation . I Seated in my cell , and writing my last wishes to my j fand ! y and friends , I was aroused by an a : ana , the bells j ringing and the drums beating to arms . What could it be ? Could there be any truth in the report that had . been circulated , that an attempt would t * s made "by the I patriots to land and rescue us , or was it like the other t rumours that had been brought to us every day . !
At this period , rumours of new an < i threatening aspect had been sent over by the paid spies of the Government , who were placed along the frontier towns of the United States , that curing that v ^ ry week a formidable attempt wonjd be made on Tvr- > r . t : > , ^ 3 "well for the purpose of getting the metropolis into their binds , as for onr rescue ; and now , ia open day , a steam-boat of the larger class Tnoughir , g her way into the bay , with the American £ ag n . iitic ^ at Le r topmast appeared to them indicariri ; ol feerealiry , and that asscrtdly their hour of battie waj at hand ; and the teops were roused from their mtrriiaenV , their grog and bacchanalian song , to meet the : r invaders .
The shouts—the wild hurra—succeeded the discharge o ! cannon , after an hour or two passed in corjecturing what all this could amount to , or what it meant , my door was opened , and my friend , Janies E . Small , Esq- - , caice in , wfco » e agitation seemed to me to omen sourething disaitross . "Out with it man ; -what is it ; what means this outcry ; " I dcinarded . " Nothing , nothing—at I east nothing yet—irat it may be turned to advantage , in American vessel is arrived , and in her is ycur wife , whose reception by the troops has been enthusiastic , ard I have brought her here to ¦ ee you , "
He knocked—the door vss opened—ard the oVjsct of my most intense acxiety , my wife , w ± 3 in my arms I was net a little shocked at her appearance . - Four months of anxiety and mon-l distress had made sad ravages upon ker health , and she presented herself before me all but the vritck cf her foimex self . To her I appeared equally broken in hea ! ta , yet not in spirit ; for although aware of what I had to txi-ect from my enemies , and that every thing depended upon my own energies , never repining , and whistling that grief through the crevices of bolts and bars , which Falstaff
said " blew a man up , " yet the confined air and dampness of my prison wrought a pale and sickly appearance , I had striven to let in my strength of body for the last effort that 1 might be called to make for my freedom ; but the weighty chains I wore , tue want of exercise , and the breathing pestilence about me , had made me bloated ; and although I was allowed , by the government , but a pound of bread and a pint of miserable soup per day , I confess that I had all the appearance , charged by the Tory press , of being " fattened for the gallows .-
The account which my wife gave me of my family and mends , particulariy of the kind attentions of the latter to herself , and their heartfelt sympathies for my situation , was soothing to my agitated mind ,- and 1 was most grateful to them for the means they were pursuing to eomptl u » United State * government to interfere in ay behalf , although , even if successful , that interfer-* nee might come too late . It spdczk that they had

bees depending on the representations of John Prince and others ; that nothing would be dene with as or the other American prisoners , further than detaining ns until the troubles on the frontier should cease , when we would all be liberated . On this account , and , In fact , with the solemn pledges of Tories high in office to that effect , our friends ceased hostilities , laid down their arms , dispersed , and exerted their influence to restore quiet amongst the enraged inhabitants of the frontier , who appeared resolved on " carrying the wax into Africa . " One corps « f iron nerved men ., eouis five hundred strong , of the brigade of my friend , E . J . Boberts , E « q , well armed , equipped , and provisioned fera campaign , breathing curses upon the necessity , but consenting to the policy , disbanded , and returned sullenly to their homes , on the pledge that every thing
that could be done on the part of the authorities of the state of Michigan , either with the powers in Canada , or at the seat of government of the United States , should befdone to effect our release , and John Prince , and other Tory magistrates , and even Clergymen , on that exposed frontier , were parties to it by consultation , and the { very men to humbly solicit it , pleading for the patriot's mercy . Bat the news of my trial , conviction , and sentence , accompanied by a printed copy of my remarks to the Judge , put to flight their anticipations , and the testimony of Prince on the stand , and his lying description of the affair , and of the situation of matters on the frontier , in his place on the floor of Parliament , told them bow false he and his associates were to their pledge , and redoubled their fftara that I would be made their victim .
Under this state of feeling had Mrs , Theller ltft her home , resolved to come to me . From the few days yet-Unexpired , on the receipt of the intelligence , before I was to have been executed , it was feared she could not , by any possibility , reach Toronto in time to see me alive ; but although the news had been received but in the evening , before the dawn of next morning she was on the road , and hurried on night and day by extra conveyances , until she reached Lewiston , N . Y ., where there appeared to be an insurmountable obstacle in the way—the steam-boat Transit th » only boat runnine to Toronto , had just gone . But no , the American
steam-boat , Oneida , was lying m port , and the noblehearted , generous , aad disinterested citizens of Lewiston had no sooner learned whe it was , and the errand she was upon , than that boat was chartered , and she again on her way , under the escort of a gentleman , and lady , and several young gentlemen of that patriotic town , wh # had volunteered to accompany her , aad protect ker from insult ; bnt the latter precaution was unnecessary , inasmuch , as she remarked , that , as my wife , none dared to insult her , particularly in Toronto , where there were regiments of Irishmen in arms ; but , nevertheless , words can never repay the obligation we both felt for this unlooked-for kindness .
To continue her narrative—As the boat near * d the port , she was surprised to see the streets lined with armed men , and that they should fire a cannon across the bows of the Oneida , inducing the captain to stop her , andrunuptha American flig . Shortly an officer and guard came on board , and ascertaining the cause , treated her with much kindness and politeness ; one young officer telling her he had just seen me , that 1 was well , and encouraging her by assurances that although the Government would make the attempt to carry their sentence into execution , still the guards would not allow it .
On her landing at the wharf , and its being annooncad who she was , she was enthusiastically cheered by the troops , as they opened their files to let her pass , and observing some of the officers approaching to render her some civilities , they became rather loud in thesr whispered consolation . 4 l I > jnt be cast down , ma ' am ; keep up your heart ; your husband is our countryman ; and they shan't hurt a hair of bis head as long as one of us can hould a bayonet . " Cheered by this exhibition of national feelinj , sfce thanked them as my countrymen , and , as the Toronto Patriot , the official paper , said , " turned up her nose , and said that she knew the goverment dare not hang him , " that she was going to the governor with documents , and was desirous of going forthwith . Many immediately volunteered to go with her , which some discreet friend observing , advised her to let them go alone , which she did and whilst she was on her way to my prison , they were on theirs to the government house .
A deputation of their own choice presented the petition . Tbe council was called , and after some time , Sir ( jeorge informed tbtm how grateful her Majesty was to the loyal Irish ; that they had saved the province , and that he was happy to have it in his power to do an act which would be gratifying to those brave men , who , in the hour of peril , had so gallantly rallied around the government : that as there was a great legal question involved in my trial , it had been decided that 1 should be respited until her Majesty ' s pleasure should be known ; that at present 1 should be reserved for her Msjesty ' spleasure . Yes , there wasagreatlegal question involved in my trial , and that question was whether , in the absence of ene or two more regular regiments , be c » nld carry the sanguinary scheme into effect ; whether lie
dared brave the bold and fearless volunteers , who did not hesitate to tell him to his teeth , that they would never be passive lookers-on at the gibbetting of their countryman , arraigned as be had been on a false issue , unjustly condemned , and illegally and inhumaaly sentenced . Here was tbe grand secret of the great question involved . The open air threats of % loyal party , and the anonymous letters of the reformers to the chief justice and the members of the council , carried more terror to the soul of Sir George , than would a thousand legal questions to his seared conscience , or the execution of myriads of freemen , to his bloated heart . The tyrant , and his minions of tbe perjured woolsack and the council , knew that they bad
been tried and condemned , and tkat a conditional sentence was hanging over their heads , from which they must seek a reprieve before the rising of another sun . They trembled lest they to « k my jlace upon the scaffold , and the guillotine be placed there instead of the knout . The " legal principles l . woiVED , " had already been discussed for days , and finally coldly dismissed , with the assurance that I need not hope for merry from their hands . That it was fear , guilty , trembling cowardly fear involved , waa made evident t * every rational man who read their official , the Toronto Patriot , the next morning , when Sir George Arthur himself—for none other could so eloquently describe th 6 fcorrers cf the wrelch doomed to Van Dieman ' s
Land , aa the late brutal master of that devoted colony —after alluding to the means which had been resorted to to save me from the gallows , painted in glowing colours the doom which still awaited me ; although I was respited immediate death . — Williamsbvrg Dem&-trat , ( Anaricanpaper . J

[ The folloirinej report iras received lait week , after the papers for Carlisle iccre posted . } CABilSLE . —Great asti-Corx Law Soireb ob Tea Pasty . —The League a . nd Five Pniiais WORSTED BT A SOLITARY HaXD LOOM WEAVER ! !—On Tuesday evening last , there wa ^ a stjong muster of the League , to hesr an account of the mission of several priests , who had been sent by them to tbe Conference at Manchester . Erery means bad been resorted to for several days previous ( such a 3 master manufacturers giving their workpeople tickets at half price , &o . ) to make the company as large and imposing as possible . About 240 persons sat down to tea , in the Coffee House Assembly Room ; after ¦ svhicb , Sir Wilfred Lawton , Bart ., Peter Dixon ,
Esq ., accompanied by several dissenting clergymen , and some of the leading members of the League , ascended the platform , on each side of which was a sheaf of wheat with large placards , bearing the fallowing texts from Scripture : — " He that withholdeth com , the people shall cur 3 e him . " " They take away the sbeai' from ths hungry . " M The bread of tbe needy is his life ; he thai depriveih hia thereof is a man of blood , " &c . Sir Wilfred Lawsoa was called on to preside . We were griered to see b ' . m in the company of those who have become rich by grinding tho face oi the poor , for we believe he is a good man . The following Rev . G . ntlemen severally addressed the meeting : —Mc-ssi-s . Wolsenholm , Dobie , Chester ; , il'Gill , and Carr . ahers , all of w-hoin , vve understood , had attended the Conference in Manches : er . With the exception of the
adcrcss of Mr . Dobie , Y ? hkh vras a very ieebng appeal on behalf cf the poor , the whole of the speakers betrayed the grossest ignorance of the subject of which they were the professed advocates . The data they laid down wa 3 incorrect , and their reasocing and conclusions equally erroneous . These men would be much more usefully employed in performiDg their religiou 9 duties amoDg their flocks than becoming the tools of a selfish and overbearing set of men , who only seek to benefit them ? elved at the expence of the working classes . After these Rev . Gentleman had ranted until they were tired , the Chairman said as there was no other person to address the meeting , it was accordingly dissolved ; on which , a Mr . James M'Ketzie tosu and said that
he and Mr . Hinson had been sent to the meeting as a deputation from the hand-loom weavers , and if the Chainnjui would allow him , he would state , as briefly as possible , ibe realnate of that body . The Chairman wished him to have a hearing , and ho ascended the platform . Mr . M'Kenzie then read several statistical tables , shewing the rare of wages at the time the Commissioner , Mr . Muggeridge , was in Carlisle , in 1838 , and the great reduction which had taken place since that period . It appeared that a hand-loom weaver cannot now earn more than from three to four shillings per week I He then read several extracts from a printed address , showing the absolute necessity of a Board of Trade to
afford protection to ihe workmen against the cupidity ef the masters . He then said , there is no man in thia meeting , more opposed to the present Corn 1 . 3 ws , th&n 1 am . I n . arched to put them on at the point of the bayonet ; and I would do as much to have them repealed , providing I thought that the working man would receive any portion of the benefit . The master manufacturers have no feeling for their work people ; for instance said he , one of tbe master / a in Carlisle , had stated to himself and others ; at one time , when they had waited upon him , tk&i if be had any fabric * f work , less paid than the other masters , he would immediately advance it .

doing pretty well , for potatoes are very cheap ! ( Great confusion aad series of question , question . ) Several members of the League here interfered to put down Mr . M'Kenz ' . e , who after making some other observations , suite as anpalateable , was obliged to conclude , when Mr . Joseph Broome Hanson mounted one of the forms , and was proceeding to address the meeting , when the greatest uproar prevailed . The priests and members of the League were evidently frightened , least Mr . Hanson should be heard , and , they being vastly the majority of the meeting , it waa utterly impossible to hear Mr . Hanson from the discordant yells and clamour which were set up . The priests here began to leave the platform determined , that no one should be
heard in reply to them , thus violating the divine precept which they had been preaching—** Do unto others , as you would have others do unto you . " The priests and their employers here left the room amidst the greatest noise and confusion—the Chartists challenging them to discuss the subject of the Corn Laws at a public meeting . Though the Chartists were few in number , they now bad full possession of the place , and as the other party were retiring , three cheers were given for Mr . O'Connor to the great chagrin of the League , whose disgraceful conduct on this occasion , will never be forgotten . We shall on some fitting occasion analise the ingredients of wL-ich this body is made up , and intersperse it with a running commentary , wnich will tend to the better understanding of our analysis .
Tee Harvest is Cumberland . —Up to the 21 st of the present month , * nd for ten days previous , the weather has been remarkably favourable , for the performance of the harvest operations , which ha ve been going on with the greatest rapidity . The crops are very abundant , and have been very little injured by the late rains . There is every prospect of a plentiful season . GliASGOW . —The hand-leom weavers in Barnsido factory , at a meeting the other day , determined upon joining the procession to accompany the " uncaged lion" in triumph to Glasgow . A committee has 'been appointed to make the necessary arrangements , ana to solicit subscriptions to enable them to engage a band . Let tbe men in other factories go and do likewise , and the reception of the incorruptible patriot will be an honour to the Glasgow bodies . "

EXTEAORDLVARY ACCUSATION AGAINST A SHIPowker . —At the London Seisft ' ris , on Saturday , Mr . Alexander Thompson , an extensive shipowner of Shields , was charged with assaultin g George Frederick Clement , with intent to excite him to commit an unnatural offence , and there was a second count in the indictment for a common assault . Mr . C . Phillips defended the prisoner . The prosecutor stated that he lived at No . 10 , Gravel-lane , and was a Bboemaker , and worked as a broker for his father . On the 20 th of August he was coming into the city to fetch some tools and a great coat from No . 26 , New-street . He stopped in Tower-street to look into a picture Bhop , when the defendant , who carried a walking-stick , came and rubbed his hand against
his ( prosecutor's ) person ; he felt confused at such treatment , but not knowing whether it was accidental or not , he moved off to the other shop window . Prisoner then deliberately caught hold of him with one of his fingers of his hand , in which he held his stick , and prosecutor called him a beastly vagabond , and several persons who weTe present advised him to give the prisoner into custody . He afterwards called the prisoner a miscreant , and upon a policeman coming up he gave him into custody . At the Station-house the prisoner asked prosecutor if he intended to prosecute , adding that he had children as big as he was . He denied having touched prosecutor , and at the Mansion-house he declared that he was a single man . —Recorder : Are any of the persons here who saw you give him in
charge!—Prosecutor : Not that '"* am aware of . —The Recorder ( with surprise ) : What ! you said Beveral persons advised you to give the prisoner in charge . Are none of them here ?—Prosecutor : They followed to the Station-house , but it was impossible any of them ceuld see the assault , from the position in which I stood . —The recorder : Why , if you were advised to give the prisoner in charge by the bystanders , it appears most extraordinary that it did not strike you that they would be required aa witnesses I—Prosecutor : Why , I thought the Lord Mayor would hare punished the prisoner , and that the case would not have come to trial . —Mr . C . Bhillips : To be sure you did ; that is exactly what you wished . —Cross-examined : He had stated all
his avocations . He was never a potboy ; he had lived a . t three public-houses , and had been a . potman . He did not call that being a potboy , as he was twenty-three years of age . He did not mention this before , because he knew that the counsel would ask him the question . He was not called a " skitlesharp , " that he had ever heard of . He was out until twelve o ' clock on Thursday last , and , when he met a policeman on his way home , he did not tell him that he was alarmed for the result of the trial ; bat , it be had known tbe trouble attending it , he would not have had anything to do with it . He told the policeman that he went before Alderman
Pirie , and , because the prisoner was engaged in the shipping trade , he ( prosecutor ) was not allowed to speak . He afterwards went before the Lord Mayor , and the prisoner was ordered to find bail in £ 200 to answer the charge . —Mr . Phillips , at great length , commented upon the evidence of the prosecutor , and called a number of shipowners and coal factors , who gave the prisoner a most exemplary character . — The recorder summed up with great minuteness , and the Jury found the prisoner not guilty , and added , that they had great satisfaction in expressing their opinion that the defendant left the court without a stain upon his character .
Grand Dinner to Lohd Monnrm sr the Irish Rejohuebs . —A grand banquet was given to Lord Morpeth , in the theatre at Dublin , on Tuesday week . The price of the tickets was fixed at thirty-two shillings ; and the number of individuals who sat down at table amounted to 600 . The most noble the Marquis of Clanricarde presided on the occasion . The cloth having been removed , and Non Nobis Dominie having been sung , the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drunk with enthusiasm . The chairman then called for a bumper , and having in a very neat speech eulogised the services which Lord Morpeth had conferred upon Ireland , gave as a toast , — Lord Morpeth , who has won and wearB the gratitude ot the people of Ireland . " Lord
Morpeth then said , " 1 am here to night , gentlemen , having filled for a longer puriod than any of my predecessors the ofBce of chief secretary of Ireland ; and knowing now , by my personal experience , the responsible difficulties and delicate duties which it involves , remembering the feelings of anxiety , and even of misgiving , with which I first entered upon their discharge , and conscious , above all , of the many errors aad imperfections which a retrospect of the whole intervening period cannot fail to conjure up before my mind , I own that I cannot fully suppress the thrill of pleasure and exultation with which I look at this brilliant scene before mo , and say as I look at it , ' this is my rich reward . ' ( Loud cheers . ) But , gentlemen , I must not forget that I
come before you to night as a member not of a standing , but of a beaten ministry ; and although 1 have happily prored to-day that I am not yet excluied from your streets , from your places of public concourse , from your halls of pleasure , from the warm grasp and the friendly greeting —( loud cheers)—from ' the social board and the flowing wine cup , yet into the guarded precincts of the castle of Dublin 1 am no longer privileged to go . " Hia Lordship then adverted at considerale length to the measures adopted by the late administration in favour of Ireland , and the happy results which had followed the adoption of them ; and continued— " I am prepared to assert that , viewed as a whole , the state of society in Ireland , giving seme cousideration to all the
causes which stir its depths and trouble its springs , has exhibited a gratifying and cheering contrast , with almost every former period , choose it when you may , and under what circumstances you will . Called upon to resign our high trust into other bands , I feel myself entitled to gay to our successors—ImpiOTe upon our management , by all mcan ^ in whatever vray you are able , avoid such errors and mistakes a 3 we have not been able to guard againstcarry the fortunes and welfare of the country fuller and higher than we have been ablo to do ; but do not let the saercd trust be tarnished iu your keeping ; aveit from it , above all—knowiag some of the companionship by which you wjII be surrounded , and the enticements by which you may be encompassed—the
blighting breath of bigotry , keep alivs the precious seed of religious peace , which , sown yet but at rare intervals through the land may , under friendly and prudent culture , fill all her furrows with increase , and crown her heights with gladness , and may render a united people great , virtuous , and happy . And now , gentlemen , having been led to say thus much by the peculiar circumstance of the time and the occasion — in taking leave as tho member of a political party of those now here with whom I have acted , and by whom I have been supported , I have now to express my unshaken reliance on the strength and advance of tbe train links which connect and cemeu ; our union . I believe they may best be resolved into an ardent attachment to the cause of oivil and religious freedom , not in the cold letter ,
but in the living Bpirit—not in the formal homage of the lip , but iu the deep devotion of the heart . As such , our cause is grounded on immortal prinoiplea—and you may bo well assured it will bring to its adherents no shame . As for myself , individually , I feel that it is now my painful , yet also my grateful office , to bid farewell to associates , whose prompt and active zeal has lightened the load of business , and shared and smoothed the responsibilities of office ; to friends , whose warm and steady kindness has gladdened the hour of recreation , and encircled the storehouse of pleasant and lasting recollections ; and to the Irish people , who will command my respectful attachment , sympathy , and gratitude , wherever I may have the means to serve as long as I hare the power to remember . " Several other toasts having been disposed of , the company broke up at half-past iwelre o ' clock ,

DbBAOTUI . MUBDEB AT ESKDALKSIDK , NEAB Whitbt . —It has never before been our painful duty ii ? ^ so oul and a *«» K » i 8 a murder , committed within the above quiet and peaceful district , aa the « n ®* rhl < * » 8 Perpetrated at the dwelling of Mr . William Robinson , yeoman , at Eskdaleeide , on the forenoon of Tuesday last . Mr . Robinson , it appears , left his home on the morning of that day , for the purpose of attending Egton fair , and his servants for the harvest field , leaving Mrs . Robinson alone to manage the domestic concerns of the house . At aboutten o ' clock , Mr . HU 1 , miller , of Thurndale , made his usual call for orders , when he found Mrs . Robinson cheerfully pursuing her avocations , aad apparently in perfect health , wishing him eood
morning when he took his departure . On the return of the servants , however , to dinner at noon , a scene the most horrifying presented itself—they discovered their mistress lying upon her face on the floor , surrounded by a pool of , blood . After they had in some degree recovered from their alarm , they raised the body and discovered her head nearly severed from the trunk , and in a rigid state . The kitchen floor , on which the deed of darkness was committed , appeared to be in confusion , and , on a closer examination , they found that the drawers , &c , had been broken open and ransacked , the murderere leaving traces of their guilt on the various articles of furniture whioh they had touched during their pilfer . Messengers were immediately despatched to Mr .
Robinson , at Egton , and to the police at Whitby . We will not attempt to describe the agony of the bereaved husband . Mr . Wilkinson , the head of the Whttby police , accompanied by two vigilant officers , promptly attended , and after examining the premises , and obtaining all the information relative to the foul crime whioh those around were able to afford , commenced a pursuit after two suspicious characters , who had been seen near the h » use during the morning . Some clue to their supposed destination waa furnished by the finding of a pocket-book , which was identified by one of Mr . Robineou ' s servants , and which had been lefc in safety in his box in the morning . Mr . Wilkinson , having discovered that the men had
taken the road leading to Lyth , immediately proceeded to that village , and succeeded in capturing them . They proved to be Irish reapers , travelling in search of employment . On searching them , not any evidence of their participation in the crime could be found on their persons . They stated they were going to the neighbourhood of Mioklebyfor work , at which place they had been engaged last autumn . Mr . W . felt justified in their detention , and removed them to Whitby , where they underwent an examination before C . Richardson and J . Chapman , Esqrs ., and ( were remanded until after the coroner ' s mfuest , which was then sitting at the Tunnell inn , which , after a lengthened investigation , was adjourned until Thursday morning , at nine
o ' clock . During the whole of Wednesday the town of Whitby and the surrounding neighbourhood were in a state of the greatest possible excitement . The police and the neighbouring farmers were unremitting in their exertions to discover the assassin ; rumour upon rumour was greedily received as fact by the multitude , and we regret that one name was most unjustly connected with this mysterious affair . Unfortunately at akte hour no information , could be gained of the murderer . On Thursday morning the adjourned inquest met , the coroner ( Jokn Buchannan , Esq . >; being accompanied by the Whitby bench of magistrates . ' Ihe Irishmen were removed to the Tunnell inn , for tbe purpose of being present at the investigation . We much doubt if any evidence can be- adduoed to criminate them . They were
recognised by several farmers ; and from their testimony we judge them to be quiet and inoffensive men . The deceased was the wife of a highly-respected farmer , and aged about sixty-one years . Though the transaction of the tragedy is as mysterious as it is alarming , we fancy we should deceivo ourselves were we to imagine that it had been committed by the hands of a perfect strarjger . It ia supposed that the deed had been done with a shoemaker ' s knife , one having been found in the fire with the handle burnt off it . There is no doubt but booty alone has led to the crime , although we have not as yet ascertained that more than £ 33 in gold is missing . Up to the time that our account left Whitby , the jury were Btill sitting , and we , therefore , are unable to give the result of their patient inquiry . —York Herald of Saturday .
Nothing since has transpired to lead to the discovery of tho murderer , but it appears he had concealed himself iu an out-house , and removed a tile from tho roof to have a full view of the kitchen door . The opinion we ventured to give , that the murder bad been committed by no stranger to the house , appears now to become quite prevalent , from the various circumstances which have since presented themselves . Wilkinsou , the active police-officer , is still out ol the search . One hundred pounds reward has been offered to any person not actually concerned in the murder for the capture of the offender . The bereaved husband it is said , has resolved never again to sleep in the house although his own , and is about to sell his stock and crop and leave the premises .
Extensive and Calamitous Fire at St . John ' s , New Brunswick . —At half-past one o ' clock on Thursday afternoon , the 27 th of August , a fire commenced in the ship-yard of Messrs . Owens and Duncan , in the adjoining village of Portland , and before it was stayed , it had extended its ravages over the principal part of that thriving place . The sad catastrophe is said to have had its origin in the firing of a quantity of chips , and sprinklings of tar , at the bows of a new vessel nearly completed in the ship-yard , by a red-hot bolt which fell from the hands of one of the workmen engaged in enlarging a holo in a portion of the ship ' s rigging . The fire immediately communicated from the chips to the bottom of the vessel , which had been newly tarred , and soon spread to all parts of the yards and ship ,
defying every attempt to extinguish it . From the ship the flames extended to the workshops in the vicmity , and from them to th » dwelling houses fronting ou Portland-street , and so rapid was the work of destruction in this vicinity that a great quantity of the contents of the dwellings near the ship-yard were consumed in the houses , the dense smokd which arose from the yard contributing to prevent all ingress after a short time . From the side of Portland-street , adjoining the ship-yard , the flames crossed to the opposite side , destroying aft the houses on that side from the house occupied by Mr . Blackburn , tailor , and others , to the foot of Fort Howe , and extending to all the houses situated directly in the rear of those last-mentioned , on the
side of the hill , and which hard their front on the road leading round Fort Howe , in the direction of Jenny Spring-farm . Returning to the place where the fire originated , ic extended up Portland-street to the street running south past the Methodist meeting-house and engine-house , which formed the western boundary , and consumed everything in its courso , reaching back the whole depth of that block . The methodist meeting-house , the only house of the block ia which it stands that was burned , was the last building that caught fire . The wind wag from the south-west , which drove the burning cinders , &c . into open fields in rear of Fort Howe , and did not endanger the safety of property so much as would have been the case had the wind been from
any other quarter . One building , however , m that district , the old gun house , on Fort Howe , took fire from ciuders falling upon it , and was consumed in a few minutes . The number of buildings destroyed cannot be less than 60 , and among them were many Jargo three and four story houses , several newlyerected dwelling-houses , and a Wealeyan Methodist meeting-houso . There waa also consumed , a superior vessel of 000 tons , ready for launching , together with all their ship-building tools , implements , & . S . belonging to Messrs . Owens and Duncan , on which , we regret to learn there was no insurance . The meeting-house was insured for £ C 0 O , and takiDg the remaining houses generally , we believe we are safe in saying that the amount of insurance effected is
comparatively nothing . The fire companies , with their engines , axes , Ac , from the city , were present , as were also the officers and men of the 36 th regiment , and the royal artillery , together with Lieut . Elliot , and the gallant tars from her Majesty ' s brig , llacer—all of whom were most active to save property and prevent the extension of the ftamee . The want of a sufficiency of water was felt during the whole afternoon , the tido being out at the time . Tearing down houses was reeortod to at last as a means of stopping the progress of the element , and herein , the officers and men of her Majesty ' s brig Racer shone conspicuously . The loss , we are sorry to say , has fallen chiefly upon persons who are quite unable to bear it . Many of the owners of houses had their
all invested in their property , and were supporting themselves by their own honest industry—and tho greater portion of the tenants were persons in poor circumstances , depending upon their daily earnings for maintenance . This misfortune , added to the late suspension of work in tho principal ship-yards in Portland , must prove of serious injury to the industrious portion of our suburbs ; and the distressing circumstances of many of the sufferers call aloud upon the more wealthy portion of our citizens for temporary relief . under thia afflicting catastrophe . With this laudable intention in view , a public meeting was called last evening by the High Sheriff of the county , at which a large number of persons were present , when committees were appointed for collecting funds and affording assistance to those most
requiring immediate aid . jWe trust the benevolent object of the committees will command eueh success as will enable them to relieve from present want all th « industrious people who have been thrown out of work , and are left destitute by this melancholy occurrence . The fire raged without intermission for nearly five hoars , and consumed property , of the value of which no correct estimate can jet be formed , but which is supposed to amount to £ 25 , 000 . We have been handed tbe following eetimateof the losses , &e .: —53 houses burned and pulled down , valued at £ 17 ^ 09 : Wesleyan chapel burned , 42 , 000 ; abip on the stocks , partly rigged , £ 7 , 000 ; rigging , &c , not in the ship , £ 7 , 060 ; furniture , goods , &c destroyed , £ 2 jmi making a total of £ 30 , 00 t . 30 » faailies . containing 1 , 150 people , have been turned out of house and and home , M 0 of whom may be sud to be in distress .

The Unfortunate Cipher . — -The Marseilles Gazette , a few weeks ago , tells us a curious anecdote relating to one of the first commercial men of the town . This gentleman , having a business correspondent on the African coasts , bethought him some time since , that , as some members of his family had shewn a partiality for monkeys , he might gratify them by sending for one or two specimens of these animals from Africa . Accordingly , he wrote to his correspondent to procure two or three of the finest and most admired species , and transport them to Marseilles . Chance bo ordered it that the merchant , in putting down the ou ( in English or J , between the figures 2 and 3 , made the o very prominent , while the u remained scarcely visible .
" What great events from trifling causes spring 1 " Some months afterwards , a ship-porter came in all haste to the old merchant , and announced to him that bis menagerie had arrived . "Menagerie !" cried the merchant . " Yes , a menag « rie ; a whtle cargo of monkeys had arrived to his consignment !" The merchant conld scarcely credit the announcement , until the letter of his correspondent was put into his hands . In that epistle , the African negociant , a man of the most uncompromising exactitude ,
excueed himself very earnestly for not having been able , with all his exertions , to procure more than 160 monkeys , in place of the 203 ordered ; but promised , as soon as possible , to fulfil the entire demand . The feelings of the honest merchant may be guessed , when , on moving down to the quay to satisfy himself on the subject by ocular inspection , he beheld his 160 monkeys , all duly caged and littered , and grinning at him with the most laudable pertinacity . It was a moment when a man might reasonably doubt whether ii would be best to laugh or cry .
Scandalous Feau » s . —In consequence of the suspension ot payment at Messrs . Hobhouse and Co . ' s Bank at Bath some persons yesterday took advantage of the railway conveyance to come to Bristol and pass the notes of that firm at shops in the purchase of small articles , receiving the difference in coin . We have the names of three respectable tradesmen who were thus victimised , each in a S 5 note , by two ladies ; but one of them , by due tact and activity , overtook the ladies at the railway station , and recovered his meney , and the two others coming up soon after , had equal success . One of the persons defrauded went in the same train as the ladies to Bath , and there traced them to the heaseof a tradesman , considered to be of great respectability , who , on being questioned , acknowledged that they
were his daughters . In one part of the city , however ( RedcliiF-stroet , ) we believe , several tradesmen were more effectually cheated . A person went to a highly respectable snuff-manufacturer and changed a £ 5 uote ; after which he went to two shops in the neighbourhood , and actually had the effrontery to say that the gentleman whom he had just cheated had sent him to them to ask if they could change him a £ 5 note ! The trick , we are sorry to say , succeeded . A linen-draper , in Wine-street , was let " into the secret" by a fine dressed lady to the tune of £ 10 . Two youag ladies , probably those first mentioned , have also defrauded a respeotable grocer at Clifton with , a £ 5 note . —Felts Farley ' s Bristol Journal .
Railroad Rascalities . —The treatment to which the poorer class of railway travellers , in the thirdclass carriages , are subjected upon some of the lines of communication is most insufferable , and must , if continued , have the effect of prohibition , as far as travelling is concerned , to all who cannot afford to pay for the accommodation of the second or first class trains . Not only are the third-class passengers treated with excessive insolence , and , as regards accommodation , with utter neglect , but every petty annoyance that is likely to render the trains required for their accommodation unpopular , is resorted to . A person travelling from Manchester to Leeds , one day last week , in one of these carriages , says , " A bag of soot was placed among the passengers when
the train left Manchester , and a little further on a dozen of empty flour sacks were thrown very unceremoniously upon the heads of the people in the vehicle . One youDg fellow had his Sunday coat nearly ruined by the collision with the bags , and it seems must put up with the damage , because he could not afford to ride by a first class train . About midway between the termini of this line , a large board is placed , with the following insolent and most unnecessary notioe , unless , indeed , it be necessary to remind the poorer class of travellers that they are an inferior race of beings . This board says— " The porters are not permitted to wait upon waggon-train passengers ! " Is the insolence of the understrappers of the company to be woadered at , when such an
example is set them by their employers I " I have seen ( says -a correspondent of a recent date ) a poor but respeotable old woman vainly attempting to lift her basket into the train , in which she has been , bt length , necessarily assisted by tbe passengers , while three or four brawny porters have stood idly by looking at her , laughing at her fruitless exertions ; or , perhaps , over-busy in assisting a cigar-smoking jackass in the first class to adjust his carpet-bag . " One woHld think common decency , to say nothing of common humanity , would have prevented so offensive a regulation . However , such exists , and most probably , if public attention is not vigilantly directed to the conduot of the railroad authorities , other regulations , equally stringent and
offensivo to the second class passengers will gradually creep into practice . The public must arouse itself from the disgraceful indifference it manifests to the question of the railway monopoly , before it is bound hand and foot , and completely placed at the mercy of those who have taken the travelling affairs of the country out of its hands , aud appear to be invested with power to impose laws without consulting those who are to be governed by them . Petitions are of little use , certainly , wh » n popular convenience is the subject of them ; but it might be worth while to try the experiment , and pray the Legislature to take into consideration the various codes of regulations adopted on the several lines , and enact ons judicious scheme for the protection of the travellers , which should be imperative on the whole ,
Bernard Cavanagh . the Fasting Man . On Thursday , this person , in the presence of many medical men , was liberated from his confinement . It was the eleventh day since he had submitted himself to the custody of a gentleman , who , in the first instance , doubted his powers of abstinence , but who is now convinced , that though there may be some causes , yet unexplained , which enable him to live for so long a period without food or drink , still that the power which he possesses of fasting is extremely remarkable . There were present Sir J . M . Doyle , Dr . Kenney , Mr . Reynolds , Mr . Coulson , Dr . Richmond , Dr . Brooks , and many other medical men , who questioned Cavanagh without eliciting anything that is worth repeating . He looked certainly thinner
than when he was confined , and this he attributed to want of exercise . The room in which Cavanagh was confined is 15 feet by 9 , and 7 feet high . It is a garret , and is situate in the most busy part of Lamb's Conduit-street . He wished to have the window as well aa the firo-place sealed , but the gentleman who made the experiment , fearful of the ill-consequences of shutting up a man in so small an apartment , refused to accede to this request , which ho now understands is made a cause of cavil . Any one , however , who knows tbe locality of Lamb ' s Conduitstreet , and the continual thoroughfaro , must be aware that no food could easily nave been conveyed to him by the window . However , throwing this doubt overboard , it cannot be denied that this is a very singular case . We are aware that Ritson has given some curious instances of the power of fasting , and that many others may b « found in the Philosophical Transactions , but still we have not of the
had for many years an opportamty testing truth of those who profees to be enjoying suok extraordinary powers of abstinence . Tbat Cavanagh may be able to fast ten , twelve , or even fourteen days , we have not the slightest doubt . But the statement that he has fasted five years is what we cannot , in the present state of our knowledge , beliere . Before Cavanagh was locked up , he was entirely denuded of hisolotb . es , shoes , * e and wm searched by Dr . Kenney , in the presence of a medical man . He was again on the seventh day denuded in the presence of Dr . Kenney , and several other gentlemen , whose name we need not R ive , bnt who are well known in London . He was then allowed to go to chapel in custody of » physician aad a solicitor . On bis return he was locked up , and so remained nntil Thursday . We hare at present no remarks to make npon tbU ease , it being the iatmtioa of the gentleman to extend his inquiries further , nol being as ; e ( perfectly satisfied irith all be had seea .- » r 7 YrTu ? s .

VIRTUE OF THE FACTIONS . The principal fact detailed in the following placard appeared , shortly stated in a portion of our impression of last week : we now print entire the document which has been put forth by " the lads" of Sunderland , to whom the infamous offer was made , and by whom it was spurned with virtuous indigntion : — " £ 125 BRIBE ! "To conceal the proceedings of s pick-pocket , or permit &" Thimble-rigger to practise hia swindling urta upon his unfortunate dupes , would , by every man of common sense and honesty , be regarded as a gross
breach of duty , and a virtual participation in thosecrimes . But what ia the crime of a pickpocket or a thimble-rigger to that of the man , or the party , that would buy and sell the rights and interests of a Nation ; destroying all public integrity and patriotism ; blasting all faith between man and man ; and dooming to endless toil and misery , a poor , because a plundered and misgoverned , people ? I Wbat is the crime of a pimp and procuress , aedncing female virtue to minis ' ter to last , compared with the Infamous conduct of those who would seduce the virtue of our citiaena , and indues them to sell to a base and plundering faction , that franchise which they are solemnly bound to use for the beat interests of the entire people ? 1
"Justice to yon requires that those wretches should be exposed , and therefore we proceed at once to acquaint you , that a fellow brought from London , wearing Pickwick spectacles , and carrying a huge Aldermanic care ase , representing himself as the friend of a friend ot Mr . Wolverley Attwood ( mark the fellow ' s cunning and caution ) did , yesterday , wait upon Me . ( Jeorge Binns , and make overtures to him , to induce tbe Chartists to act so as to promote the return of Wolverley Attwood . Mr . Binns , in order to have the fellow ' s villainous scheme fully developed , and witnessed by others , appointed a second interview with him yesterday afternoon .
" Thia interview took place in the presence of Mr . Williams and several others , who succeeded in drawing him to embody hia proposals in a definite shape , which were , that the sum of one hundred and twenty-five pounds would be paid , if the Chartists should act as he desired . : " He was requested to call again at eight o ' clock yesterday evening , and in the meantime arrangements "were made for giving the fellow a good tarring and feathering ; but , for the sake of the peace of the town ,
the latter ceremony was dispensed with . He came at eight o'clock , when , having reiterated his promise , and offering to deposit tue honey , he was then suddenly and terribly convinced of the folly , as well as the iniquity , of his conduct He got such a rebuke as he will not readily forget , and was told to go and tell Mr . Wolverley Attwood , that the Chartists of Sunderland , though , poor , were yet honest ; while he , though a ' highly respectable London merchant / was yet a most unprincipled scoundrel .
" Electors and non-Electors of Sunderland ! this statement of facts needs no comment . When such deeds can be practised with impunity under onr reformed ' Constitution , ' and the man practising such acts stilt be recognised as a gentleman , tbe folly of finality and the worth of a gentleman are evident Xet the franchise be given to all and its free exercise secured by the Ballot and virtue only recognised aa true nobility ; then , but not till then , will England be free from rtepedable knaves , and Englishmen be truly happy . "
Now , what will the enemies of an extension . of popular rights say to this ) Will they dare again to tell us that the people are too ignorant to be entrusted with political power ! or too venal to exercise that power with virtue and genuine independence 1 Are the " respectable" merchants , millownars , and shopocrates to be longer tolerated in talking of the sordid corruption of the working men !! ¦ . . Even could it be shown that a majority of the working classes are as corrupt and as easy to be seduced from the paths of rectitude as their base traducers would represent th « m , still it is most
illjudged in those advocates of moral purity (!) to drag such matters before the public ga » e . Suppose the whole of their accusations to be true ; to what would it amount \ simply to this , that they have been apt scholars in the scale of middle-class c « rruption ; and that , if a readiness to be corrupted be a sufficient ground for disqualification , ( and we admit that when the crime ia proved it is so , ) a readiness to corrupt is a still greater crime , and ought not only to disqualify from voting , but to close the door of respectable society against the rascal who thus deliberately seeks the demoralisation of his fellow-men and every one who aids , abets , countenances , or encourages him .
But how stands the fact ! Why , the working men who are unfit to be trusted with the Franchise , are yet deemed worth being bribed ; and the magnificent sum of £ 125 ia offered by a member of the respectable ctrps as the price at which the Chartists arc to sell their cause ! Wo cannot but admire the boundless liberality of this truly generous offer . £ 125 for a seat in Parliament ! £ 125 for the power to pick pockets according to law !! £ 125 for the chance of realising as manythousands from stout John Bull !!! Well , this is noble and generous in the extreme ; and ihe men of Sunderland must be hopelessly mad not to have caught at the golden bait when thty had nothing to do , in order to secure it , but abandon principle , and nothing to lose , but the approval of their own consciences , and the approbation of all honourable men !
Again we must not forget to look at the value to the purchaser of the commodity thus sought to be purchased . That commodity was the votes and innuenco of the Chartists of Sunderland . Now why did Mr . Woltbblet Attwood or Mr . Wolverlev Atiwood's friend ' s friend evince a desire to purchase the support of the Chartists of Sunderland ? Because such influence it was known would , if exerted in avour of either of the factions , turn the scale of tbe election . This it was , and this alone which induced the magnificent offer to Mr . Binns , their influence was deemed to be , nay , was kaown
to be invaluable to the party who could secure it ; so the cunning rogues , conceiving no doubt , that the Chartists were but green-horns in election tactics , resolved to come down with a bounce , and intended to pass Chemselves off as mighty generous fellows ; but found to their discomfiture that the lads had . some knowledge of their own value in the national market ; ^ and , moreover , that not having learnt the " gentleman ' s code of honour , " which would have kept this little affair quite private , they let the thins come out , and raised the hue and cry about the ears of their unprincipled seducer .
We tell the dolts and fools who go to work to bribe the Chartists , that , in order to succeed , they must come down handsomely . Nothing but a promise to do justice to the whole people , by the enactment of the Charter , accompanied with good and sufficient securities for the fulfilment of the bond , will induce us tomeve an inch . Let them proceed in that track , and we promise them our warmest support ; we will send some of our wisest troops to lead
them on , lest their ignorance thould lead them into mistakes , and we will place our bravest in the rear , lest in a panic they should be disposed to turn back ; for when we have once got them into their proper place , we mean to nave no such thing as aounding a retreat . We will move for Universal Suffrage ; that is , for universal right and jasiiee , and we will prevent every movement that is of a oontrary tendency .
They have tried 4126 , and fatted . Wnennext the minions of either faction are disposed to « ffer a bribe to the Chartists , let them multiply the bribe by at icAsi one thousand . Let them try M with 412 i , 090 * and tee how they wwdd then MMeed . Onward ! onward ! and the wdtngt ia won !
