THE PAtJPER'S DR 1 TE . Thx&e's ft grim one-borae hearse , in a jolly ramd trot ; To the chradiy » d a paoper is going , I wot : Tceroad it ia rough , and the hearse has no springs , And hark to the dirye that the sad driver sings : " Battle his boras overthe stones ; He ' s only a paoper , "jrhom nobody o ^ pH " Oh , -where are the mourners ? alas ! there are none ; He has left not a gap in the world now he * gone ; Not a tear in the eye of child , -woman , or man . To the grave with his carcase as fast as yoa can : " Battle his bones over the stones j He ' s only a panper , whom nobody owns ?' TThita jolting and creaking , and splashing and din ! The whip how it cracks ! »* d the wheels how they
Bow ^ the dirt , right and left , o'er the hedges is hurl'd ! The pauper at length makes a noise in the world ! " Battle hi » bsnes © Ter the stones ; He ' s only » pamper , -whom nobody owns ! " | Poor panper defunct ! be has made some approach To gentility , now that he's streteh'd in a coach ! He ' s taTHny a drive in a carriage at last ; But it will mot be long , if he goes on so fast .

Yon bumpkins ! who itare at your brother conveyd , Behold -what respect to a cJeddy is paid , And be joyful to think , when by death you ' re laid low , You ' ve a chance to the grave like a gemman to go . " Battle his bones over the stones ; He ' s only a panper , whom nobody owns J " Bnta truce to this strain , ; for my soul it is sad To think that a heart in humanity clad Should make , like the brutes , such a desolate end , And depart from the light -without lea , Ting & Mend ! Bear softly his bones over the stones ; Ihengh a panper , he ' s one -whom his Makes yet owns !

" WHO STOPPD THE CLOCK V A . SOUTH SAS . 03 LEGES D . "Who stopp'd the dock ? " bawled a wicked young wight After tbe Ticar with all his might , Who heard the cry , As , riding by , The beautiful pile of St . Peter ' s drew nigh . The clock lookM down , And its sable face Wzickled itself to a terrible frown At viewing the author of all its disgrace . Per the character rood of a clock you must know-Is not to stand silent , hut constantly go . The Ticar he heard the words it mutter'd . And " which , he affirms , are cot fit to be ultsr'd—Breathing of vengeance , oaths , and spite—Quite a shock to tbe eas of a Yicar polite .
ITo word did the Ticar deign in reply , Bat spurred his gallant mare TJntQ that church he had quite passed by , When he thought npon that dreaded cry Welch lingered Et'li in air Who stopp'd the clock ?" Was a tiunaeringshock Enough a siaid man from his saddle to ksock . Again and again did ha hear the sound—Dared mortal intrude With such lsagnage rude In a piace too where parsons and police abound ?
J I ? rasinipossIbl 3 quite , It must be a sprite , Who owed to the VIcar a d * villish spite . The Yiear his trusty horsewhip grs-sp"d And -waited to see if any one pass'd . For his spirit "was rensed I trow—The ofltEding mortal is doomed to feel What the Ticar intends for his carcase ' s wea l Or eL « e to experience " So omon " s sea , " To make him -wiser grow , And not to give Tent to direst malignity , Kor dare ta offend "Vicarial dignity .
Ha . ' what does he see ? Who's this passing by ? By bell and by hook 'tis h boy , And in the young vagabond's visage and eye , A mischievous gleam does the Ticar espy ! Yes , 'tis be that has cared to annoy TheTicar of B > , that mild , pious man . No Christian "would b&ar it , and uo parson can . The thrashing is over—the Ticar goes home ! He is silent aaJ sad , and he dices all alone i He thinks of the clock , And then sips the hock , And the terrible -words still run in Ms head , — -And the Ticar betairth himself to his bed :

HEIGHLEV . DiSGBiCEFri . Coxorcr of a ¦ J ack , is Office . —On Wednesday week an adjourned case was disposed of before William Eiiis , and Edwin Greenwood , Esquires , ac the Court Hopse , £ « £ hley , ut the decirion of which we are certainly surprised , especially when we recal to mind a remark made at a special meeting of magistrates recently held at Wakefieid , for the purpose of appointing a sapendary magistrate as chairman , at the Pontefract Sessions , namely , that " it would reduce the respectability of the bench by having a paid chairreduce the
man . " But it may be atked , would it " respectability of the bench" which consents to have its EiKudaves executed by an individual who attempts such outrageous attacks on female delicacy as are developed in the following statement of facts ?—The wile of s working man of ihe name of Carr , being in search of her husband , who was at a Etignbourmg poi-iouse , was met by a preservator of morals in the shape of a deputy constable , who accosted her , and made proposals to her of a moss indecent nature ; she indignantly refused the offers of the brute , on which he threatened to confine her in the lock-up .
She immediately communicated the circumstance to the husband , who lost do time in in procuring a snuiiuoiLS for this guardian of morality . But to the as : on : ; innent of all acquainted with the facts , the magistrates adjourned the ca ^ e on the plea that she if as r . ot the vrife of Carr ! How that cou ; d affect the ca « we are at a loss to divine . However , a copy of the marriage register was pro duced , after a jourcev of twenty miles to procure it . The ca 3 e was then -resumed , and disposed ef , the magistrates onij isnlctiug ihe diignsuug wretch in the sum of ten shillings , wiih an admonition touched thus- ^ we caimot allow such conduct ! ' Though we may differ politicall y from , -we , nevertheless , it el the greatest respect for the sitting magistrates , ar . d cannot refrain from making ihe enquiry , why the niimster was not at once dismis&ed from the office he has bo much disgraced ? That ought to have been the least penalty inflicted on the unblushing violator of the rules of common decency . —Correspondent .

men , headed by an inspector , entered the meeting , and insisted on its immediate dispersion . Some hesitation was evinced by the poor starving men , who expostulated with the inspector on the inhumanity of his conduct , but to no purpose ; they were compelled to move off . Air . Edward Brown and Mr , George White protested against the interference , and proceeded the magistrates , at tho Pnblic Office , where Mr . Brown laid the case before them . He depicted - the distress that existed amongst the working men , and pointed oat the penalties that would be laid on them if they broke the law by either Btealmg or begging , which wonld be their only alternative in case they were not allowed to brin * their case before the pnWic . The magistrates declined interfering , and referred the case to Mr . Bargess , Chief Commissioner of Police . Messrs .
White and Brown then -muted on the Chief Commissioner , and had a long conversation with him on the Bubject . They were informed bj him that Go 3 ta Green was a public thoroughfare , and that meetings of any description would not be allowsd . The deputation complained of the injustice of the case , and pointed out the fact of other meetings being held on the same spot , and other " obstructions'' which -were not interfered with by the police , after which they left the office . The sfcarvinsr operatives afterwards paraded- the town with their banner , and collected contributions from all who chose to assist them , in tin boxes , the proceeds of which were afterwards divided amongst those who walked in the procession The next meeting will be held at the Railway Station , Dnddeston Row , at ten o ' clock on Monday next , when all who are out of employ , or only partially employed , are requested to attend , as they will not be interfered with at that place .

The Stockport Advertiser says , '' The following facts , which we have received Jrom au authentic source will enable our readers to form some idea of the pressure of distress in Bolton . During the four weeks , ending January 22 , 1842 , the number of applications for relief to the Holton Benevolent Society amounted to 6 995 ; and the average income of the applicants was only 13 d . per head per week . Of these , 828 , have been rejected ., us not coming within the Iim \ t 3 fixed by the society . Of the remaining 6 , 157 , who have been relieved , the averge
income per head per week was only llf J . All this is in addition to the relief granted by the guardians , which has increased enormously with the dulness of trade .

^ Thr origin of the discovery of gold ia the dbunty of Wicklow is variously told . Tradition attributes it to a schoolmaster , who , in consequence of his perpetually wandering about the streams , was considered by his neighbours to be insane . He grew gradually rich , however ; but , at lcHgth , the secret of his wealth became known , and a similar madness seized upon the whole population for many miles round the place where nature had deposited her treasure / ' . ¦ ¦ ¦ '¦' ..

Subterranean Passagk one Hondred and Fifty Miles Long . —While travelling lately in Central America , ' . Stephens visited the ruined city of Ocosingo . When there , he was told that there was a communication by a subterranean passage from those ruins with the city of Palenque , that was distant about one hundred and fifty iuilcs ! This is a very decent addition to the wonders of the New World . , . ; Recent Intelligence from New South Wales furnishes us with some information as to the employment of Bolam , the assassin of poor Millie . It appears that he is in good health / and that he has a situation which much resembles that " of a wusherwoman ' s assistant . He is employad to take away the foul linen irom thejbarracks at Sydney , to a place of some miles distance where ii is convenient to have it washed .

Strange Coincidence . —Thero is at present living at Taxholep , near Blackburn , a woman named Agnes Brindle , to whom the following extraordinary incidents have happened during her progress through life . She has been the mother of twenty children—ten sons and ten daughters—of whom two were born in one day ; two wore christened in oke day ; two were married in one day ; and two were buried in oiieday . Shortly after her marriage this said female planted in her garden an apple pippin , which growin the course of years into a tree , from the wood of which she supplied herself , not many years since , with a wooden leg , having had tho misfortune to lose one of the props which had supported her for many years .
Distress in Bolton .-1— The following facts , which we have received from an authentic source ^ will enable our readers to form some idea of this pressure of distress in Bolton . During the four weeks , ending Jan nary 22 , 1842 , the number of applications for relief to the Bolton Benevolent Society amounted to 6 , 095 ; and the average income of , the applicants was only thirtoenpence per head per " week . Of those eight hundred and twenty-eight have been rejected , as not coming within the limits fixed by
the Society . Of the remaining 6 , 157 , Who have been relieved , the average income per head per week was only elevenpence three-farthings ' . All this is in addition to the relief granted by tho Guardians , which hag increased enormously with the dulisess of trade . In the year ending March , 1836 , the total sum paid for the relief of the poor of Great Bolton , was .. £ 1 , 558 . In tho year ending March , 1841 , the sura paid for the relief of the poor was £ 6 , 2 C 8 ; an increase of 300 per cent . — Manchester Guardian .
State of the Hosiery and Lace Trades . —There is , as yet , no improvement in the demand in any of the numerous branches of the hosiery or the lace trades ; in fact , if we are to believe the workmenj the demand is decreasing , instead of increasing . This state of things extends equally to silk , cotton , or worsted hosiery , in the latter of which there is nothing , in any part of the world , in the shape of competition , yet the distresg at Leicester is such , that the population are begging in mobs of 200 or 300 . We are pained to si ate , that the silk warp blond handaj who have been advanced in their wages by one house for some months , have been again reduced the eighth of their wages . At the same time , blond nets have been lowered , in the market considerably , as the rest of the manufacturers absolutely refuged to . ad'vanco : the wages . The exciter ment in the-villaaes-. still- ' -continues respecting the
abatement of the price for making cotton hose . The damage done to the frames at Westthorpe , it appears , was not very serious , aquafortis having been poured upon the needles and sinkers during the night . Tho needles , in most cases , are rendered unfit for work ; but the sinkers will , most of them , be made to work again , after the roughness is taken off . A meeting of deputies , from about twielve of the villages , was held on Monday ^ who came to the determination of resisting the reduction . A list of prices given by the other houses of the trade has been presented to tha house in question , which they object to , on the ground that the dociiment only stales those that are givinija high price , aad not those that are Riving low priceB , and consequently it 18 not satisfactory . In the meanwhile , some of the villages , such as Arnold , in which about 8 < H > frames ar = ) employed , are in a state of great excitement , and Eome acts of violence and insubordinatioa have
occurred . -.

From the evidence produced , it appeared that the younger woman was the cause of Tier own death and that of theothers . aUhoughthemotive cannot be conjectured . It seems that on' Tuesday morning the old woman was employed in rpljing lip some paste to make a pndding . Her daughter handed her a jar of preserved currants ; " which .

dinner the old woman was , . four o ' clock . The daughter was also taken ill , but lingered till six o'clock the next morning , when she expired . Early on that day she told one of her sisters , who was aiVjnding her , there was some preserved dumpling in tho closet , and that she could take it , and give it to her children , which she did ; After partaking of it all her five children were taken ill , and o » e , * , baby , died .

At the close of the last lecture , on Monday , the lecturer called on Mr . Miles , as bis opponent , to come forward and . discuss the question now . Mr . Miles rose asd spoke for a quarter of an hour , the time allowed by the iectnrer , shoiving the enordioas increase in our manufactures with ^ comparstively little increase in the cost of production , thus demonstrating the condition of the people to be fast deterio > rating , notwitbbtindaug the vast increase in our
commerod . .. ¦¦ - < : ¦¦ : ¦ . . . ;• : .. . . . ... . . . . .. . . . - Mr .

Mr ; J . Colquhoun rose , and said he wished to say a few words on the subject He said they were not there to discuss the subject of machinery , that would bd an after question . The legitimate eubjsct before them was the Corn Laws , and how to get quit of them . ilr . C . condemned the Corn Laws * and said he was for a total and immediate repeal ; but be denied thoae laws could be repealed till the People ' s Charter is first made the law of tUe land . He challenged the lecturer to discuss tbe question as to the best means to insure the total repeal ef those laws . Mr . C . spoke
with considerable effect , contending that the parties at present agitating that question dare not repeal those laws , under existing circumstances , as in that case the whole monetary system would be deranged , the Bank of England become bankrupt , and with ; them the whole banks in the country , without whose aid no manufacturer , or merchant , In : this country could carry on for one month . Mr . C . retired amidst loud cheers , again challenging the lecturer to discuss the best mean * of obtaining a repeal of those and all other bad laws . . : ¦ ' - ¦ . ¦ ' ' ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦• '¦ ; -- '¦ ' :.

Mr . Acland replied , paying public opinion would ifcpeal the Corn Law , Mid that the same public opinion would gain the Charter . It was now eleven o ' clock , and according to the lecturers arrangements , the discussion was adjourned till the Tuesday night following . Tuesday night , Mr . Miles moved " That Mr . Q . Ross , should take the chair . " To this Mr . Acland objected , stating ths meeting was his , and they were there merely from courtesy . ( Strong disapprobation . ) He then signified if a chairman was appointed Ue would leave the meeting to themselves . It was considered the best course to allow the discussion to go on , being satisfied principle would triumph over class expediency .
Mr , K . Buchanan came forward amidst loud and continued cries of" chair , chair . " At last , Mr . B . was allowed to proceed without a chairman . The speaker took up the factory systewi , which he exposed in a manner that placed the Whigs in a dilemma from which they will not in a hurry extricate themselves . Mr . Ac La ; ND replied , contending the repeal ef the Corn Laws would relievo our manufacturers from their present embarassmerita , and procure plenty of food for thousands who are at this- ' present , time in actual starvation . ' ' The two gentlemencontinued speaking fifteen ininutes altt-rnately , when Mr . RoiiERX Malcolm rose to reply to -what he called "the Whig arguments of the lecturers and the Tory arguments of > Ir . Buchannan . " ¦ "¦'
Tiie moment Mr . Malcolm attempted to-speak bs wa 3 iiist With a general storm of hisses , which coktintted ( . 'for about ten miuutes , notwithstamUng the utmost endeavour on his ( Mr . M . ' s ) part to command a . hearing . Matters- ' were-beginning' to assume a rather serious aspect , when Mr . Muir stepped forward te ths front of tho hustings , and was received with loud cheers . On Mr . Moir presenting himseif Mr . Malcolm retired . Mr . Moir said he presented himself before them as as uncompromising Chartist ( Enthusiastic cheers . ) Mr . M . brUfiy referted- to the treacherous conduct of tho conduct of AVhigs towards the people . Look to the the dissenting clergy in Scotland in--reference , to " this question of late . These fellows are as selfish .-as'the Established Clergy can be . The one whose stipend 13 regulated by the price , of -wheat wishes -to-, keep things as they are ; the other ^ dissenting ) w ho is paid at a fixed juoney rate wishes to secure a cheap loaf . ( Here one of the Whigs on th « piatforin cried , Put him out . ") Moir turned round , and in a stern voice , staring tho fellow in the face , salid , Come , forward , you co ward , and do not ask anothar to do it "
Here the Kev . Mr . MJ « an , who was sitting beside the young gentleman to whom Mr . M . was administering this castigation , rose , and was in the act of running at Mr . iioir with a large Mudgepn , when Mr . J . ColquhoUn sprang forVfartl , and ee ' zing Mr . BI'Jean by the collar , set him dawn on his chair . ; tt is unnecessary to a ? id , tbat but for the timely interference of Mr . Colquhoun , the consequences might have been serious . Mr . Moir resumed amidst the plaudits of the meeting . He said the people were always opposed to tho Corn Laws ; in proof of which the people of Glasgow burned in « -fRgy the notorious KirkniiHi Finlay , opposite his own door in 1816 , after ' the passing of the present Corn Laws , KirkUKin Einlay being then Member for Glasgow . ; . Mr , Aclanu replied , coBteniiing for a lepeal of the Corii La we .
Mr . Pkoudfoot followed , urging the - People ' s Charter as the only means calculated to ensure the repeal , riot only of the Corn Laws , but all those bad laws inflicted upon the people uriaer class legislation , adding that no man who was not a Chartist could be a good JuaB . The Lecturer replied * It being now eleven o ' clock , the debate was adjourned till Friday night

" : The reaUiujjef this resolution was reeeived iriUi deafening cheers . :
Mr . Moir , in moving this resolution , referred to Mr . Acland ' a suggestion as to treating the middle classes civilly . Ha ( Mr . M . )/ would ask how Were the people treated by the middle classes , and their organs , the whole press in the interest of the party from the Homing Chronicle down to the Loyal Patter , traduced and insulted the people . Was this to be borno with impunity ? I { b . So far as he was conceraed he would cohtinuB to tell the truth of the men . If the truth was hard , he csuld not help it , the fault was their own , - ' nothis . : . . "• •;;¦"¦' .- ;' . . : '¦ ' . :- ' - : ' " - ¦ ¦¦ '~ ' W " .. ¦ " ¦'
Mr . MoiR then took a show of hands for the resolution , when in the vast multitude , which could not be less than from five to six thousands , the Hall being crammed full in every corner , a forest of hands w « a held up . Mr . M . said , in order that public opinion might be fairly tested on this important question , he would now call on those who wesreOpposed to the resolution , to hold up both hands . . From two to thxea hundred hands were held up—say three hundred . Acland held up both bands against it So much for the great change in public opinion ! Let n <» man suppose this ; was tbe vote of & faction j it was the Whigs' own meeting . A fairer tight and s more decisive moral victory never was-obtained . Tkis was a eool and deliberate vote , calmly come to , after six hours' lecture , and nine hours * discussion . Aye , and it was the vote of many a starving man .
The fallacies . of the League have never been so clearly exposed as in this case . There is but one opinion as to the result . They feel it themselves ; they are bound to acknowledge it Some of them since have declared that had they a repeal of the Corn Laws , they did not care if the Charter was uot obtainrd a hundred years hence . ; We knew that , and we treated them accordingly . '" :: ¦'' ..- ' ' - '" ' ' . ¦ ¦ They are making superhuman exertions to get tiiett petition numerously signed here . The sheets are sent to every Whig shop in and around the town . Every name , man and boy , unless peremptorily refused , is put dowDj and many without consent In soiuia shops it has been kicked out , yet many , afraid to offend , do flfgnit . ' '" '¦ ' ' .

On Friday evening , before eight o ' clock , the Hall was filled in every corner , aiid tho anxiety visible on almost every countenance composing the vast assemblage , which could not be less than 5 , 000 , clearly indicated that something decisive was looked for . :.:.. " . At eight o ' clock the Lecturer , accompanied by Baillie Hamilton , and many other leading men of the League , ascended the platform . Messrs . Moir , Proudfoot , Ross , Ling , Henderaan , &c . also took their seats on the platform .
Mr : Moir moved that Jir . Gaorge Rpss should take the chair . ¦ To this Mr . Acland again objected . Rather than lose the discussion ( Acland having signified liis determination to leave tho meeting to theniielves , should a Chairman be appointtid ) , the discussion was again allowed to proceed without a Chairman . : M r * MifRCii y , of Anderstori , presented himself , \ and was received : with strong marks of disapprobation . After several attempts to be heard , he was obliged to retire , without being allowed to finish one sentence . Mr . BuciiANAU rese , and after eonimenting on a few points formerly advanced by Mr . Achnd , he concluded his first quarter of an hour by calling on Mr . Acland to state what guarantee ho could give that the working cksses would be better after a repeal of the Corn Laws than they are . : ¦
Mr . Aclamd—All tho guarantee Mr . Buchanan could expect was the probable result . ( Hisses and confusion . ) That a repeal : of the Corn Laws would be a benefit without other changes , he was not the man to Assert . The only guanvutee was probability . ;; ooe thing , it would guarantee more food and more labour . Mr . Buchanan conteuded the Manchester League would never get these laws repealed by the present £ 10 House ; and not till it was a House appointed by the whole people . Mr . Buchajiaa then went into a , lucid descriptiou of the factory system , shewing how manual labour was superseded by machinery , the machines being now wrought by women and children . WbUe factories rose like mushrooms , the men were laid on the shelf . He denied that a repeal of those laws wonld confer substantial benefit ob the people , if they had not a ytarly power- over the deliberations of the House of Commons . He concluded by eai iiig on Mr . Ac and to shew on what grounds both parties could join .
Mr . ActAN-D- —The Coin Laws . ( "No , no , " and diaapprobation . ) It is wore probable they wiil joJatoa the Corn Laws than on the Charter . (•'• No , no , " and hisses . ) ; Mr . BrcaA . N \ s cbadeToned the papw xooikey niHi banks as injurions to the people . Mr . Acland—He rieveir knew of any who . gotcrediS who called it a bad ^ ling . ( Hisses and strong . ' . disapprobation . }' . "'' .. - Mr . Buchanan in this and his fourth or last speech completely finished his opponent Acland lost all bold of the meettass . He vsas looked wpoiv dvxting the last hour more as an object , of commisseiatiouthan as the antagonist , Mr . B . domandlng of him to show how an
people were to be benefitted , and what pledge could he give on the part of those whom he represented there ( the League ) , that should the people join the middle class just now , the middle class would not act towards the 1 people as tney did in tbe case of the Reforni Bill . Mr . Acland could only say , that were the middle class to desert the people again , he would have nothing more to do with them . Yet he could not see how any man could guarantee ' ' *» hat : ^^ might be done in future . To this point Mr . Bucfcauan ht Id Acland throughout , and en that he finished him . Mr . Buchanan said we could , only calculate the future from the experience of the past . That man , bo he middle class man or an aristocrat , who deny that to his fellow men which he himself enjoys , is unworthy of such privilege . :
Wr . Acland acknowledged the Charter would do more good , but thought the people should join for the Corn Law reptal . He would advise the people not to abuse the middle classes . ( Cries of Question . ) v At five miuutes to eleven o ' clock the discussion closed . Acland sat like a man Mho bad fought determined to die game . He certainly made the moat of a bad cause .
