THE BANNER OF GREEN " . The Tories come forth » ith their banner * of bine , All straightforward tyrants , -we'll give them their due ; Profuse -with their money , but fierce in their wrath , The darkness of faction endangers their path . They sprang from the blood and ths refoae of war , The fame of their murder -was echoed afar ; And still on the vitals of freedom they feed , And tyranny ¦ writes the dark page of their creed . The Whigs they come rvtxt , -with their banner of flame , The friends cf ths people in nothing but name ; They wheedle and tell yon economy ' s plan , Then starve and imprison yon . aye , to a man . These political toll-bars , they keep yon away From the broad Jand of liberty , truth , and fiir play : If you Talne ths weal of the many—the poor , You will stand " Death the Whigs and their banner no more .
But hurrah for young liberty , dauntless in mien , Hurrah , gallant lads , for " the banner of green ; ' I * t tyrants and fools smile on yellow and bine , We'll still to our own spotless nig remain true . The day ¦ will arrive when oppression will cease , When freedom shall wear her bright laurels in peace ; Then wherever the dwelling of man can be seen , How proudly shall waTe " the gay banner of green . " Bradshaw Waxkeb .

THE VOICE OF FREEDOM . Heard ye that soul-inspiring sound , Borne swiftly on the ev ' niag gale , Diffusing gladness o " er the land , Stilling the mumii . g orphan ' s wail . Joy to the stirring poor opprest , Those glorious -whisperi . ' !?? do bring ; Throughout the breadth of Albion ' s Isle Its heartfelt cheering' accents ring . Its whisper" d murmurs low and soft , When first it struck upon the ear Of tyrants ana their courtly horde . Them smote with pallid , coward fear . But now th ? t Toice is like the roar Of Afric ' s mighty forest king ; And British slaves who dare be free , Our Tyrants * pealing death-dirge sing . That sound is freedom ' s glad * ning Toice , Proclaiming Troth ' s eternal reign ; When tyrant despots dare not load The freeman ' s limbs with serf-like chains . C . Westrat

HALIFAX . —On Monday week , the members of the Loyal Trafalgar Lodge , Is ' o . 454 , of the Manchester Unity of ibe Independent Order of Odd Fellows , in the Halifax di > trict , held their anniversary in the Ruya . 1 Hotel and Odd Fellows' Hall Tap , when upwards of 130 members sat down to an elegant and substantial dinner , provided by Mr . and Mrs . Glover . BUD-LOTHIAN . —( Tollers' Strtke . —This determined aiid unflinching body of men are still out on Etrike , in number about twelve hundred , without the leas : prospect ( as far as present appearances go ) of a speedy settlement ; the men and their families are enduring great privations , stijl they are in good heart , notwithstanding the many gross falsehood ' , and vile calumnies with which they have beea a ? 3 J > i ' ed ; they are truly a brave set of fellows . At the White Hill colliery there are
about seventy black sheep , pretending to hew coal , they are ( I am told ) a most wretched set , consisting " of some of the worst characters in the county of Edinburgh ! They are not colliers ; some are country labourers , and some who never before laboured at all . Indeed the great part of these miserable cowardly Black Nets aie the very refnse of society ; getting these mean fellows to pretend to work , is an artful dodge , £ Ot up to frighten the poor colliers into work : but the brave lads Bee through the trick , and will not be canght . As might be expected , these fellows taking the colliers work , has greatly exasperated the latter , and it is feared they will be attacked ; however , I would advise them to let them alone ; they will shortly find their own level . Colliers ! treat them with silent contempt ; your oppressors would be glad to catch you breaking the law ; avoid the trap !—Correspondent .
CABXXSLE . —Lecttbis os Socialism . —Mr . Robert Owen delivered a . course of three lectures in onr Theatre last week . There was a pretty numerous and respectable attendance each evening . He Was listened to throughout with the greatest attention ; and his lectuies , which vrere loudly applauded , not only gave great drlight to his friends and admirers , but were well received by the public . His subjects were . " the Causes of , and only Remedy for , the existing distress , difficulties , and dangers which pervade the Manufacturing and Agricultural Population of Grear Britain and Ireland . " In his first lecture , he riwe ' . t on the Science of Society , " which , he said , -r as divided into four grand elements , namely , arrangements to produce wealth ,
arrangement to distribute : hat wealth , arrangements to form the human character , and arrangements to govern , locally acd generally , beneficially for all . At present , these dements , over the world , were in the most randem contusion ;—there had been no wisdom or fore ? : gbt displayed ; and the most incongruous and injurious proportions existed in every part of society . Mr . Owen contetded that society was now in possession of all the materials , in the g .-eaiest abundance , which would change the present wretched system of ignorance and misery , for a state superior to any yet experienced by the human race . He proceeded — " When I first entered into li ! e , the manufacturing Fvstem was about commencing in this country . I
was early deeply involved in it . I very soou saw the efiVcts which n ; usr grow up from it , aud could trace its ulnmate eonsequti . ee ? . These consequences Were cot only forttoM by me , but I published it at the time , acd the publication is now on record . I then stated what has exactly occurred at the present day . At that period onr population was not more than fifteen mii'ifr ? in Grea- Britain and Ireland ] and these fifteen millions prodnced , under the then arrangements of society , before the people were taken in . o mills and factories , a manual power of about three millions—one fifth of the population . These were ass .= ? td by the old machinery , and the single spinning wheel . All the thread was then spun a single thread at a time upon the cottage
wheeL This had not been slttred urmsEj hundred years , and amount-, d to about the labour of twelve millions . These were as ? . sted by the labour of the three millions , leaking fitteen millions ; 'thus the combined productive power cf science and labour were jast equal to the population , or the population &ad productive power stood as one to one . In the year I 709 1 purebred of the partners the establishment of New Latark , in Scotland , and I found by my calculations that with the working part of that population , amounting 10 about 1 , 800 out of a potu ' -ation of 2 5 t 0 , and the machinery discovered by Arkwright and Watt , that the 1 , 800 individuals were producing as much 5 as upon the old plan of a single thread would have reqnired & { population of € 00 , 000 . Now , observe this single fact , and it will lead your minds to a right conclusion . They thu 3 immediately lost the difference of the market
between the consumption of 2 , 500 and 800 , 000 . It was tj this disproportion of increase , and the markets of toe world , that , for the first time in the history of the human race , we were now starring from producing too much , and beeaose we have not sense enough to know how to apply this mechanical power . Kow , what has befn the change in that time ! Our population has nos yet been doubled , bnt the incrtase of scientific power has been from twelve miliions to upwards of seven hundred millions , or ttore than tweuty to ono of the population . It is the same as h aa icdiridual had twenty -j ? " ^ forking morning and night , who neither eat , drink , Dorwear clothe * , aiid yet this individual was in a worse condition ti . s . D when he hid only one slave ; and the people 01 : h s highly Christian country are now in the esom cfgradtc . concition , and suffering distress which is ^ ccuniuiaiiEg upon them . How la

this , my friends s It shows Ihera has been something fundamentally wrong in the foundation of society ; for if society had been based upon a sound principle—if those who ruled the world had understood what w& 3 going forward—what , this power was , and how to give it a wise direction , the resultswould have been the very opposite of those which have taken p-ace , aud we might now have had as well-employed and well-educated population . " Mr . Owen continued at some length to show that from the misapplication of machinery , through a system of individual interest ? , and scientific power being brought into competition with manual labour , that the hours of laboured been lengthened , and the physical , mental , and moral condition of the
population had been deteriorated to a frightful degree ; and stated it as his opinion that if machinery had been employee' under a system of united interests , the labour of aran might be abridged to four hours a day . After alluding to the injury to society and the bad feelings generated , from land , labour , capital , and skill bei . ig separate and conflicting interests , Mr . Owen concluded his first lecture by some remarks upon the effect of what are called the learned professions—upon the happiness of mankind . —In his second lecture Mr . Owen entered into his peculiar views of the formation of human character , contending that any general character , from a very inferior to a very superior being , might be given to any
individual by the society amongat whom he was born . Some written qu stions were handed in at the close of each lecture , to which he replied . The third lecture was on the Milennial state of existence , which he contended would be produced by the adoption of his views . All the preaching in the world ha maintainf d would never produce u peace on earth , good will to man , " until practical arrangements were formed for removing the strife , contention and injustice generated by a system of individual interested competition . At the close of this lecture , a great many questions were put , principally of a theological character , to which replies wers given .
DUNDEE . —We perceive from the Star that the people of various places ara bestirring themselves with success in returnia ; , ' men of sound democratic principiei at the local elections . This ia a poiut of attikck which has been bui ; too much negleoted in almost every town in the kingdom by the people . The people possess a power in these matters which they have not been properly alive to ; aud it ia one of the most cheering aspects of the times to see them set about their own work in earnest . Dundee has fora number of successive years bearded the factions af the local elections , but thia yearpromises a reward to their labours beyond their most . sanguiae
expectations . Tha election of police commissioners ( twentytivo in number ) took place about ten days ago The Chsrtists set to work in a business-like manner . Upon the other side , public houses were opened , and whiskey dealt out freely without money and without price . The democrats pursued a steady and sober course , and after the keenest contest ever held in Dundee , thirteen Chartists were returned . This , you will exclaim , is a decided majority ; not so , they have provided in the act that the Sheriff , Provost , four Bailies and Daan of Guild are commissioners ex efficio . It is such a working minority , however , as has caused much alarm in the enemy's camp .

From a paiujame > t : aet . return , showing the decrease of - 'xecntions of late years , it appears that from 182 U 3 othere were executed fifty-two criminals ; from 1831-33 , twelve ; from 1834-35 , none .

Death op Allas Cunningham . —Mr . Allan Cunningham , the poet and well-known prose writer , of 27 r Liwer Beigrave-place , died suddenly on Saturday evening from an attack of apoplexy . He was the personal friend of Sir Walter Scott and Sir Franci 3 'Chantrey , and a man whose literary fame was universally known . His age was 57 . Ax Eel , 9 feet 6 inches long , and 2 feet in circumference ; was brought up in a scoop , last week , by some ballast-men at work in the Thames . The ballast-mfn stated that the eel snorted and barked at them like a dog when they first took it out of he water . A rich mine of yellow amber , of a hardness equal to rock " crystal , has just been discovered in the neighbourhood of the town of Zshderick , near Potsdam . . This discovery is the more remarkable , as up to the present time yellow amber has only bsen found in the Baltic , or on the shores of that sea .
Casal between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans . —It has been decreed by the Congress of New Granada , that all the privileges which have heretofore been given to the French and English , in opening a canal through Panama , be forfeited aud withdrawn , and the project of connecting tbe Atlantic with the Pacific b 9 thrown open to the competition of the whole world . So vjst and unprecsdented have b ^ en the shoals of herrings this season upon the Margate coast , that the Jane , one of tbe fishing smack- , arrived at the jetty on Sunday morning week , with a cargo of the miraculous number of 50 , 000 ; the whole of which the crew disposed of to a fish curer for £ 50 , being less than a farthing each .
Gigantic Ski-leton . —A few week 9 since , while digging in a tan-pit at Mr . M'Intosh ' s works , about a mile asd a quarter west from Grangemouth , the workmen came upon several very large bones of the posterior extremities of an immensely large borse , about six feet from the surface , imbedded in blue clay . The stratum of clay is about forty-two feet thick . Afterwards , it was resolved to exhume the skeleton , and care was taken , on removing the superstrata , to ascertain if it had been a buried animal . The upper strata was about twenty inches thick-, and there was no moisture in the clay ; it appeared just to have been gradually covered . The skeleton was a very large one ; from the fore
teeth to the back part of the skull was two feet , and bj the teeth , he had been about five years old at his death . Tne shoes were upon the feet ; at the greatest : breadth they are fire and a half inches and , although considerably worn , one weighs lib . 14 oz . imperial . The bones are reddish coloured , and appear much like those found at Bannockburn . From the depth in which it was imbedded , and the shoes having a !? r > been found upon if , it must have long been buried , and is probably one of the horses killed at the first battle of Fa-lkirk . A part of the English-army wonld likely be upon the spot where it was found on the day of the battle . —S / ir / jn ^ Observer .
Shipwreck , and Strange Story op thk Scbtivobs . —A Corre .-poneent , who witnessed the circumstances related below , gives the following account of them : —During tbe storm of Tuesday last ,, the 25 th , a ship was wrecked at this place ( Eastbourne ) under the following extraordinary circumstances . It strikes me , that the particulars ought to be made known . Soon after four o ' clock a vessel was seen coming round Beachy-head very near to the land ; and it soon was evident that she would shortly be on shore . In a few minutes she
struck on a ledge of rocks , called the £ ol « ier-ridge , very nearly opposite to the sea-houses . We could distinctly read her name as she reeled round , " Wa t , of Plymouth . " The most intense anxiety pervaded every class of the numerous spectators . No boat , except the life boat , could venture to put oS , without a certainty of destruction ; and many impatiently began to exclaim , Where is the life-boat i Why do they delay ? But it soon was shown that the persons to whem the care of her was intrusted were waiting , not from fear or indifference , but most wisely . Sne was carried on wheels about half a mile
westward , and then was launched . It was a most beautiful eight to see how rapidly and yet how steadily she cut through the foaming waves . And when she came away wi th every one of the crew rescued and safe , her approach to land was more like an arrow from a bow , than the motion of a boat . I am afraid to Biy for how many yards &he came on the crown of one tremeadons wave , which threw her high on the beach . The crew consisted of tbe chief mate , four men , and two boys ; and the report they make is this : —They formed pj » rt of the crew of the Jiue London , of Miramachi , and were returning home from Liverpool ( which place they left August 25 ) , when in the Gulf of St . Lawrence , lat . 45 , 30 N ., longitude 38 i W ., they ceared the Watt ,
laden with timber , and hailed her . The crew said she had nine feet of water in the hold , and that they were abont tc abandon her , and this they did the next day . About two hours afterwards these men from the Jane London took possession of her , and for nearly six weeks have been in much difficulty and distress . In want of provisions , and worn-out , and fearing l « st they should all perish in the Btorm , they resolved to run her on shore at Eastbourne . Considerable suspicion w ? s raised as to the truth of their report , bnt the general opinion is now that it is correct . They say it was their intention to take her to the first port they reached . Four or five boats are busily employed from morning to night in bringing
her cargo , some very fine timber , on shore . As a stranger , I cannot but admire the judgment , zeal , and integrity which all persons in any manner brought into contact with this accident have shown throughout . Since writing the above , I have had an opportunity of examining more closely into this extraordinary ease , and feel little or no doubt that their story is quite trne . They had no boat , and though they had an anchor , tV . ej had not strength enough to use it . They had no chart of the Chaniie ! , and when they first Eaw land , it was the Isle of Wight , which they mistook for Beachy-head , and when they came to Beachy-head they considered it to be the iouth .

Africa . —Intelligence ha 3 been received from Western Africa to the second Augus * . It announces ^• Meturn t 0 Ffcrn . ande Po of the Queen ' s steamer , \ VUb ^ rforce , from the ascent of the Niger to the wooes-fara of ; he African Civilization Society , and the bringing away of all the people and propeny left by the Niger expedition . The Wilberforce ascended under command of Lieutenant Webb , with eight or ten Europeans , who volunteered from Fernando Po ; the rest of the ship ' s company being native Africans . With the exception of the commanderand one of the
, volunteers , all the Whites were laid up withsickness before the Wilberforoe reached the coast ; and latterly the engine had been worked by & Black boy , who had learnt its management on board Mr . Jamieson ' a steamer Ethiope ; the engineers being sick with the rest . " Such a wreck of property" says a private letter from Liverpool , " as was landing at Clarence Cove never was seen . " The natives had not molested the people at the model-farm ; but Idr . Car , who attempted to ascend from the coast in a canoe , had , it is supposed , been , murdered in the Nun river .
Fatal Accident . —On the morning of Thursday last , a most melancholy and fatal accident occurred at Barr Mill , in the parish of Beith . A boy named Noble Prentice , about thirteen years of age , had mounted a ladder to put a bell upon a wheel , though this was no part of his duty , and boys had been strictly prohibited by the proprietor from doing so . In an instant he was seized by the machinery , and his body mangled in a most shocking manner . His arms were torn from the trnnk , and his head completely severed from his body . As no eye was upon him when the accident happened , it is not known how it originated . The breaking of the bell and the crash of the body were the first intimations of the melancholy event to thoso who were in the room . The wheeJ revolves about thrice in a second , and consequently his death must have been instantaneous . His widowed mother was at the time
working in another rcom , and her agony at the sight , and while assisting in collecting tho bleeding and quivering members of the body of her Bon , may easily be imagined . The remains were committed to the grave the same evening . —Ayr Observer . The Late Mr . Bibby of Liverpool . —Investigation at KiRKDALE . —Shortly after twelve o ' clock on Friday , Henry Simpson and William Radolffe were brought up ia custody at Kirkdale Court-house { on a charge of having been concerned in the murder of the late Mr . Bibby , who , it will be recollected , was found dead in a pit near Bootle , on the morning
of the 18 th of July , 1840 , under circumstances of a mysterious character , and which gave rise to a suspicion that he had been unfairly dealt with . Simpson , who is a yonng man of respectful demeanour , was the individual who drove the unfortunate gentlemen from the Royal Bank in that town to Bootle on the night of tho fatal occurrence , and Radcliffd had been a policeman on duty on that night in the vicinity of the scene . After a long and patient investigation into all the circumstances of tho case , the magistrates came to the decision that there did not appear sufficient evidence to justify them ia committing the prisoners , who were forthwith discharged .
Frightful Explosion . —Between three and four o ' clock on Wednesday afternoon last the inhabitauts of West Collingwood were thrown into great consternation by a loud explo&ion . It was quickly ascertained that the explosion had occurred at the residence of a man named Pinner , a manufacturer of fireworks , and the first object that presented itself to the persons who ran to the spot was the lifeless body of Pjnner , ljing amidst a quantity of bricks , shattered pieces of of wood , &c , whilst the entire of the upper s ^ ory of the house was completely carrried away . Tne body of an old man , an assistant to Pinner , was likewise found shockingly disfigured lying at the back of the premises . No signs of lifo were perceivable in Pinner or the old man . On proceeding up the staira of tho house , the lower part , extending
to the floor of the second Btory , which was left standing uninjured , it was discovered that every vestige of tho roof , walls , aud the various articles which had been in the upper room , had euMrely desappeared . Jambed against the lower part of the wall of the first story , and near the top oi' the stairs , was the body of a lad , aged fourteen , with the features dreadfully disfigured and the body blackened and mutilated . From the statement of an elderly woman who was engaged by Pinner to superintend his domestio affairs , it appears that a large qusHtity of gunpowder had lately been placed in the upper room for the purpose of making fireworks for the fifth of November , but in what manner tbe explosion was caused remains a mystery . Several windows in the neighbouring houses were smashed in , and a number of chimneypots thrown down by the explosion .
Miraculous Escape . —A moat alarming accident occurred a few evenings ago on the Brandling Junction Railway—a whole passenger train having been thrown off the line , and the carriages tumbled topsyturvy over an embankment eight or nine feet high , and yet the passenger ? , of whom there were between forty and fifty , escaped without having sustained the slightest injury . The particulars of this occurrence are briefly thes * : —The seven o ' clock train from Sunderland to Newcastle started as usual , and peoceeded to near where the railway crosses Cleadonlane , where the engineer felt some slight interruption and immediately turned off the steam . The train was then moving at the rate of about fifteen mile 3 an hour . The sensation wa 3 but momentary , but the
direction of the engine was suddenly changed , it having left the line , and was approaching diagonally the edge of a fearful precipice , formed by tho embankment of tho railway , about eight or nine feet in height . The engineer and his assistant maintained their positions on the engine with the greatest composure , which in the end proved most fortunate , for had they leaped off they would , in all probability , have lost their lives . On the engine went , followed by its tender , over the embankment , through a qaickset hedge at the bottom , iuto the adjoining field , and was finally brought to a staud-still heveral yards from the railway . The engine maintained its erect position the whole time , and sustained no injury , with the exception of the pipe which carries the
water from the tender to the boiler , and which was broken asunder . Tbe engine-man instantly opened the safety-valve , to allow the escape of the steam , and then descended from his perilous position . In the meantime , the most heartrending ories were heard from the carriage ? , which were thrown together in a state of indescribable confusion . There were five carriages , two of them being first-class and three second-class , attached to the engine . Fortnnatly , the connecting rod between the tender and the first carriage broke , ind thus separated the engine from the train . The first carriage remained upon the line ; the next , being dissevered from its companions , was thrown ovr the embankment ; the next , a first-class carriage , was crus-htd against the following one , and all the others were partially overturned , some of them having beeii thrown over the embankment ,
agaiust whicn they rested obliqely at the bottom . The scen * j at this moment was horryfying in the extreme . Some of the passengers were escaping by the windows which were uppermost ; others crept below ; men , women , and children were seen scrambling over , round , aud beneath the vehicles , anxious to secure their own safety . On proceeding a fow yards down the line , the cause of the accident was Eoon discerned . There lay the mutilated remains of a horse , which had evidently strayed upon the lino from one of the adjoining fields . It was cut completely in pieces . Intelligence of the catastrophe was soon conveyed to the next station , and also to Sunderland , and a ^ sutance was instantly despatched . Happily , medical aid was not required . Tho eDgine and carriages did no injury to the way , and tho eight o ' cIock train traversed it as though nothing had occurred .
A Delicate affair in High Life . —A noble Prince has long beeu at ' . ached to the eldest daughter of a Noble Duke , whose family , on one side , claims enrtam consanguinity with that of the Sovereign . The result of the mutual passion existing on the part of the Prince and the lady , renders an atonement by marriase now absolutely necessary . The lady is in a way to become a mother , and , in the short space of three months , will enjoy the blessings , or feel the pangs , of maternity . Her Ladyship ' s situation is , of course , now ucabJe to be any Jonger concealed ; and her father has communicated with the Pnnoo ' s i - dihtT upon the subject . His . Royal Highness immedittaly assented to the necessity of an union between his son and the Noble Ladv ; and the Prince
himself is anxious to make the reparation which li ? s in his power . But , according to the terms of the Royal Marriage Act , which was passed in tho lime of Georga III , no member of the Royal Family can espouse any one without the previously-obtained consent of the Sovereign . Were the Prince- and the Lady iu question to be united wi : hout cucb consent , the marriage would be illegal , and the offspring thereof illegiiimata . The Queen has , therefore , been applied to , in the present emergency ; and H ? r Majesty has , we learn , refused her sanction to the union ; and all attempts to induce her to alter her decision are vain . Her Majesty ' s consent is not a ! one sufficient ; that of the Privy Council must also be obtained , after a year ' s notice formally given . Her Majesty ( or her Privy Council ) arguea thns : — " It is possible my children may die ; then comes the King of Hanover , who is very old ; after him . Prince George of Hanover , who is very sickly ;
next the Duke of Sussex ; and then the Duke ot Cambridge . Now , if all these events were to happen , tha Prince alluded to woald Btand an excellent chance of assuming the sceptre also . In this case , a subject becomes the Queen of England , shooJd the Prince at present espouse the lady , and such a contingency , however remote and improbable it may appear , must not be allowed to exist . " So , we hear , reasons the Queer ; and we should suppose her decision is also backed by the advice of at least some of her Ministers and advisers ; we say " some , " becausa we can state , upen aathonty , that the Duke of Wellington is in favour of the union . Surely this young Prince , who is so ready to make atonement ior the injury he has inflicted upon a too eonfiding girl , sbcuid be allowed the fall and free extrcisa oi' his most honourable and praiseworthy sentiments and iatentions , and abandon his right to the succession . He might even do this by professing to be & Roman Catholic .

A large Ceylon elephant , harnessed like a horse , but with a proportionately huge collar and traces , passed through Fleet-street , Cheapaide , and other etreet 3 of London on Wednesday afternoon , drawing one of Hylton ' a vans of trained animals , to which the docile animal belonged . The late reported robbery of diamonds of the value of £ 9 , 000 , at Cevent-garden theatre , from the person of a foreign diamond merchant , of the name of Wolff , turns out to be a fabrication . The " merchant , " it seems , 'owes considerable sums of money to various parties both on the Continent and in England , and in order to " make a purse , " he trumped up the tale , and absconded to Brussels , whither he has been pursued and arrested by a creditor to whom he was indebted about £ 1000 .
Dreadful Death . —On Sunday morning a Mrs . Shearman , residing at High-street , Lambeth left home for the purpose of seeing her husband , who i 3 an inmate of Guy ' s Hospital , having met with an accident ten days ago , locking in her four children , a « ed fifteen , five , and ( our years , and an infant fourteen months old , aud a neighbour ' s child aged three years . On Her return home at half-past ten o ' clock Bhe found the infant and one of her sisters sitting before the fire , the . former much burnt about the head , and the other child informed her mother that Sarah ( the eldest child ) was dead , and lying np in t
the garre , and on the poor creature going up stairs she was horror-struck at finding the remains of tho poor girl burnt to a cinder , lying on a bundle of rags . Search was made for the other two children , who were found unhurt in an out-house in the garden . From the statement of the second child it appears that the deceased was in the act of putting a saucepan on the fire , when her clothes caught fire , and in an instant she was in an entire blaze . That she mada for the garret stairs , where she sat until the whole of her clothes were burnt off , and then crawled to the bed , on which she was found as above described .
Curious Coincidf . nce . —Law !—A . proof of the 11 glorious uncertainty of the Jaw" was shown at the last quarter sessions for the county of Dorset . Two men were indicted jointly fora felony ; upon being called uo to plead guilty or not guilty , one of them pleaded " guilty , " and the other " not guilty . " At lhat moment an attorney stepped up to the prisoner who pleaded guilty , and told him he vvaa employed to defend him ; the prisoner then withdrew his plea of guilty , and pleaded not guilty . The trial prooeeded , and at the close the jury acquitted the one who had at first pleaded guilty , and convicted the other who had pleaded not guilty . —Sherborne Journal .
Mutiny in Newcastle Gaol—It appears that above thirty soldiers of the 61 st Regiment , who are prisoners in Newcastle Gaol , having been convicted by court martial for various military offences , and sentenced to different periods of imprisonment , broke out into open mutinyjand refused to work , alleging that tho food was so bad that they were hungering . Several of the magistrates went to the gaol for the purpose of investigating the circumstances , the result of which will , no doubt , be satisfactory . — Newcastle Journal . On the arrival of the Elk engine at Nine Elms , on Tuesday night , with tbe six o ' clock train from Southampton , a lark was found in the ash-pan ( within Bix inches of the fire-bars ) , which had received no further injury from this novel species of bird-trap than the singing of a few tai-feathers , It is now in the possession of the engine-driver , and appears quite lively .
At the late Rnmford Quarter Sessions , the magistrate had occasion to desire a policeman to fetch into the court " two Ik . drafs . " The man , a fine specimen of the animal for whioh Essex is so famous , instead of going to tha bank , took the note to a chemist's , and returned into . oeurt with black draughts- which the worthy magistrate took ( into his hand ) , amidst a roar of laughter from the bench A Liberal Nobleman . —Cashiobury House , with its parks and gardens , has been open to the public every Monday and Thursday throughout tha year for many years past . The hours of admission to the house and gardens are from eleven to oae in
the morning , and from two to five in the afternoon . Admittance to the park is freo at all times . These regulations were established by the iate Earl of Essex , who was delighted that the public should thus share in the enjoyment of jhis estate and possessions . We have heard that he even lent his plate to the pio-nic parties who frequented the Swiss Cottage in the grounds , until some one repaid his generosity by dishonesty . Still the publio are allowed to use this cottage for the same purpose : many pic-nic parties consequently come off here , and pans filled with visitors from the metropolis como to Cashiobury . —Athan < pum ,
NOBTHLEACH HOUSE CF CORRECTION . —The following reply from Sir James Graham has been received to the memorial addressed to him as Secretary of State by the Jury upon the late unfortunate sufferer Bcale : — " Whitehall , Oct . 27 , 1842 . " Sir , —I am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25 sh instant , enclosing a memorial from the inquest Jury whioh sat on the body of Charles Beale , lato a prisoner in Northleaoh House of Correction , and to acquaint you that before he received your communication , lie had taken measures for having a full inquiry made into the matters to which your letter refers . " I am , sir , your obedient servant , "S . M . PHILLIPS . " To Mr . J . Goding , Cheltenham . "
The Late Attempted Murder in Dundee . — We understand that James Duff , the unfortunate sufferer in the late diobolical deed , has steadily improved for some days back , and that hopes are now entertained of his recovery- He still lies in the cottage where he first found a shelter , and was able on Saturday to be taken from bed a few minutes to allow it to be made up . During the last week Mackenzie was examined by the authorities , and as the prccognition is not yet closed , it is not true , as reported in other papers , that he has been committed for trial . Another report has got aiioat , that Mackenzie ' s wife gave premature birth to a child , aud is since deed . There is no truth in this report either . The pi . > tol has not yet been recove'ed . A broker was brought over from Edinburgh who sold a pistol to a man answering the description of Mackenzie ; but on being confronted with him , we understand , refused to swear positively that Maokenzie was the man . —Dundee Warder .
Fatal Shipwreck—It is our painful duty to record the total lt > ss of the schooner Friends , of Carlisle , with all hands oa beard . The Friends sailed from Port Carlisle for Liverpool on Friday , the 21 st iust ., laden with alabaster , with a crew of four bands . There was a stiff breeze blowing at the time from N . N . E . Towards midnight the wind veered round to the westward , blowing a complete hurricane , and in endeavonring to return up the Solway Firth the ill-fated vessel struck upon Robin Rigg , and in a short time btcame a total wreck . The master of the vessel , Captain Baxter , was highly esteemed among a wide circle of friends and acquaintances on both sides of the border , and the sympathy expressed on the loss of so good a man is well worthy the occasion . A portion of the bulwarks and the foremast have been washed ashore at Allanby , but no trace of the hull of the vessel has yet been observable . —Carlisle Journal .
Canada - —The Halifax Morning Post of the 18 th inst . gives , in a second edition , later news from Canada than that derived from the New York papers . Mr . Baldwin had been defeated by a majority of 41 . Mr . Murray , the Conservative candidate , had consequently been returned . Mr . Lafontaine had defeated Mr . Roo , and carried his re-election . The Parliament was prorogued on the 12 ch instant , by Sir Charles Bagot , with a short speech , simply thanking the Legislature for the zeal and assiduity with whioh they had considered and perfected the measures of the session , as well as for the supplies they had voted , and exhorting the members to use their personal influence in their several distrusts to promote the harmony and good feeling which it had been his endeavonr to establish .
Dreadful Collision at Sea . —Aletter from Capt . James Codman , jun ., of the ship Sarah Parker , at New York from Singapore , to the owners in this oity , tells the following fearful story : —* ' The collision took place on the 13 chof September , in lat . 14 17 N ., long ., 49 02 W ., during the night , in one of those tremenduous squalls which happen in the variables . The ship was going about ten knots at the time , and the darkness so great that I could not see the brig at the instant of striking , though I had been looking to leeward but an instant before , and was then standing by the main rigging , and all the watch at stations , to clue down the fore and main topsails , if necessary . I had already clewed down the mizen topsail , the squall being very violent from W . by S ~
and the ship steering N . N . W . The brig must have been going very rapidly also . She showed no light , and I think had not the rain made it so Egyptian dark , they might have seen ours , which is constantly burning in the night , and shines from the deck-house windows . Poor fellows ! they mast have sunk , as they were Been , very near about twenty minutes after , and at daylight nothing could be seen * though we lay by , and it became nearly calm soon after losing , sight of the brig . I could render no assistance , as we had to strain every nerre to keep afloat ,, which we only accomplished by the quiet , and at tbe same time energetic , behaviour of the men , who k « ot their stations
and obeyed my orders with as little confusion as if we were practising evolutions fo * amusement , and after getting clear , as I have Baid above , worked well and quick . Much credit ia due to tbe chief officer and carpenter ( in fact they axe both carpenters ) for their indefatigable exertions in repairing , as well as to all hands , for in thirty-six hours we had eighteen new timbera iu and three st reaka plaaked up and chimed , and made some sail on our course with a light breez-j . It was , however , a J . ong lime before the ship was safe from bad weati , er , as every beam , timber , and knee , and breasthoe fc and deck plank forward of the foiQsmtter was st / , ve .

The New Insolvent Debtors' Act came into operation on Tuesday . The enactments , which amount to fifteen , are framed for thd purpose of enabling debtors to bo relieved from their difficulties without the necessity of previously going to prison . Singular Act of Self-Mutilation . —A most extraordinary and determined aot was committed in Worcester gaol on Wednesday , by a man named James Fmcher , who had been apprehended as a deserter , and lodged in the prison to await the determination of his case . While so confined he
contrived to possess himself of a piece of iron-hoop , which ho had notched so as to make it answer roughly the purposes of a saw , and with this rude instrument he succeeded in sawing off the thumb of his right hand , between the nail and the fir .-t joint , the separation of skin , flesh , and bone being effected in tho most complete manner . H 13 object is easily accounted for—viz ., the disabling of himself for future service . He deserted from the Grenadier Guards twelve or thirteen years since , and was apprehended a few days ago .
The Arabian Nights Revived . —The Hsro of Caen tells , in all gravity , tke following outrageously absurd story : —" One of the most celebrated shots of Caen having for several days beat the country round without putting up any game , thought he would try by the sea-side , iu the neighbourhood of Ouistreham . As he was crossing the river Orne in a small boat , he saw two birda flying towards him , and , with his usual promptitude and certainty of aim , fired his gun , and one bird dropped into the river . While the sportsman was directing the boat towards it , the other bird alighted close to its dead companion , and , would have soon suffered the Eame fate , 'had it not
risen again , and come and alighted upon the gunner ' s shoulders , and suffered itself to be taken by the hand . This was sufficiently surprising ; but how much greater was his astonishment when he found them to be a pair of doves , each having a ring round its neok , set with diamonds , and having engraved on it , * Ale . Vic , and Al . 1840 , " and a heart pierced with two darts . Whence came this pair ? Can the letters mean anything else than Alexaiidrina Victoria and Albert , and did not the birds belong to the Queen of England 1 Time may tell , but this is our opinion , whioh is confirmed by the value of the diamonds , for whioh a jeweller at Caen has , it is said , offered £ 12 , 000 .

LETTER II . 1 "It is a scandal for a true Briton to drag two chains at once . "—Swift . Dear Rafter , —It has been the policy of our rulers , Whigs or Tories , to endeavour to make us boliove that we can skip about best in a light pair of fetters I and for this purpose the faction out of power have never failed to impress us with thu belief that theirs is always the lightest ; but why the people should wear them at all is a question which both agree they sbou'd
never even discuss . In this assumption of the Whigs and Tories of course there is aot a particle of honesty , justice , or common sense ; but with their assumption there la what is much worse than mere assumptionpower I rabid , despotic power is their only argument ! . ' strong walla and cold irons their proofs , in which their unhappy victims are compelled to drag out a silent , unwilling , dying acqniescenee ; and yet , O God of Jnstice , there are men laying claim , almost to the Divine beatitudes , who can calmly sit empurpled on the judgment seat , and laud and order compliance to this blood-sucking system .
I told you , in my last , I believed tbe object of the ruling faction was to seise en all the leaders of the Chirtist movement . Alas ! since then , the sound of unjust judgment has been held over many a good mau ' a head ; and the police have actually been premature jin doffing their white trousers this season , their masters knowing . ( I presume ) they had so much dirty work to do . The Whigs no doubt are glad of all this , and silently rejoice at the arrests , —but shall we like them the more for their base joy ? Of tbein we know that they set the example t » the Tories ; and
that the latter are doing no more than they have done . I bate the Whigs the more for their rascally silence ; and I believe they are doing , at this moment , more injury to tbe cause by intrigue than ever the Tories would stoop to do . The policy of the Whigs has ever been marked by duplicity , low cunniag , false-premising , and petty devices ; inconstant in their every move , grovelling , and mean in seeking for power . The English Whigs would hang the Irish people to ebtain power ; and tha Irish Whigs would shoot the English people to keep it
I hate a Tory ! the very name is a firebrand , by the false light of which I can look back through the long night of my country ' s dark gloom , and behold the spirits of her " happier dead " rejoicing over the expiring embers of pitch caps and fuggots ! but a Whig 1 a treacherous Whig ! the English language does not convey to me another word so loathing . If I were asked to give name to an object with bod ; of the camel ion , head of the serpent , hind feet of the ox , with eyes of the basilisk , displaying the treacherous smile of the coquette , and having all the cunning of tbe fez , I would exclaim that loathsome object is like nothing on earth but a Whig ! Call it 4 Whig ? It would not be difficult to trace ia the first founders of society , the lineaments of our modern Whigs . Man clings with tenacious adhesion to any object or system which he conceives will assist in protecting him from the attacks of a stronger power than
himself . A single illustration from Holy Writ wiil sufficiently Bhow this . We see Adam , in his denuded state , shield himself with the trees from the face of Almighty God ; in like manner have the early tribes of his children thrown themselves tinder what they conceived to be the protecting shades of civil Governments , which by degrees became more insolent , more oppressive , more tyrannic , and more greater evils than those which they were formed to correct , till finally , by innumerable encroachments on tbe people ' s liberties , they , too , like the archdemons of Lucifer in the realms of the Most High , conceived the daring project of dethroning the power that brought them into existence ! These , I think , you will readily admit , were the Whigs of early growth , and little did the ; differ from the crop that has been recently cut- If the Whigs were sincere in their professions to ameliorate the condition of the people , -why do they not give the people the chance to
exclaim" Well , bad as the men were when in power , they do not attempt to sting now that they are powerless . They Bjmpathise with the persecuted , and they aid us against the persecutor ; they hold public meetings , and they raise subscriptions for the defence of the victims of their own avowed principles . " Did they do this , then might their professions of patriotism go . hand in hand with their acts of philanthropy—then might they go a great length in disarming those who show up their rascality . But no ! the hypocritical fellows ! they would first imprison and transport all the good and true , buy over all the shams , and then , with sleek faces , led on by some broad-brimmed fhiend , ( whom the ; would manage to make their dupe , } come amongst the people , like the Pharisees of old , declaring that
they knew the laws better than others ! and , of course , were more fit to become their leaders , as they knew what would answer them better than they knew themselves ! These wise legislators then having got fairly before the people , by first adopting all their Six Points , would commence a tirade against the plans of the old leaders , and by piecemeal would break up the present organisation ; the confidence of the people thus partially obtained , and their organisation rendered powerless , the money-grubbing scheme would commence , and one hundred Murrays , Smiths , and Aclands would be sent about sowing the beautiful Indian corn seed ; then would some big O , or some sham-leader of the UJster-Radicals , ( by-the-bye , what has become of the Ulster Association ? I suppose you will answer , ask Rochdale ?)
big with confidence / stand and exclaim , " Well , gentlemen , you know me long and well ; have I ever deceived you ? ( The paid hacks would shout , " No , never . ") I have beea a long time battling fot you ( you have ); and is there one man here the worse for taking my advice ? ( not one . ) I gained emancipation for Ireland , and , with the blessing of God , I will make England the { envy of surrounding nations . ( Indeed you will . ) We matt divide the country into equal districts , and appoint collectors . Every shilling will be a nail in the coffin of the Tories . We must appoint a managing committee of twelve the payment of £ & to constitute a committee man , and here to begin with his £ 20 as a subscription of myself and my three sons —( bravo , bravo ; is ' ut that liberal ? who can doubt his
sincerity )—but , gentlemen , before I conclude I must give notice of a motion for next week , relative to the People's Charter . It is downright folly to look for impracticabilities ; you know I always said Universal Suffrage was nonsense . We must seek for the greatest practicable extension of the Suffrage , and as for Annual Parliaments , it would create too much inconvenience . I think Triennial Parliaments much more adapted to the present times , bat I like the Ballet , the honest Ballot —( he ' s a Briton every inch of him)—and as for Payment of Members , you all know I never was against being paid—( not you >—nor did I ever work for nothing —( never )—nor never will—( devil doubt you ) . I was always for the instalment principle , and I agree with Sharmam Crawford , that the Repeal Question ought
not to be mixed up with the People ' s Charter . Repeal should bide its time , it was forced on me once by Feargus O'Conaor , prematurely , and what did we gain by it ? oae solitary vote . We shall never offend our cause with a vote again —( shouts of never , never ) . Gentlemen , I now conclude by giving notice of my motion , and by handing in £ 10 more as the subscriptions of Joseph Hume and John Arthur R / wbaok , and I beg to move that the latter gentleman be appointed as the legs ! director oi this association , and that sll monies be forwarded to the Central Board at the Corn Exchange , Dublin . " This is the true picture cf these political pedlar *; but vre are not all imprisoned yet We may yet astonish them by playing at " one down and another come on . "
Some fellow accused me once of having a knowledge of a plot , and I now take this opportunity of disclosing it to yon ; you may guess at the actors , though their name is legion ; there being scarcely a town in England that they have not their scouts to tell" how the cat jumps ; " but as every bad system carries with it the means of its own destruction , so it will be with the

Of all the goorJl 7 nostrums that tbey Lave of late years submitted to the public for the removal of the national malady of , distress and -wretchedness that pervades the l » od , end which , like the canter worm , is ever gnawing on thevtoxlsof society , what oae single measure have they carried out tending to stem the torrent of public discontent ? Do We not still behold the dissase of the body politic increasing rapidly ? its numerous branches lopping off daily without relieving the unfortunate patients from the withering consumption that besets : t 3 palid and decaying care-wa ? I am aware that extremes in every cose should ba carefully avoided ; but when a patient has submitted to be physicked and dragged and bled by qnacks , aa well as by some of the ablest of the political faculty , without the sliijhttBt apparent symptoms of renewed health and vigour , but that on the contrary , he becomes worse and worse every day , it is high time that one bold struggle for national redemption should take place , that
we should not ; tamely see our country go down to her grave without applying some elixir magnum that would either kill or cure ! That we believe to be the People ' s Charter ; tfeat we have Sit OUP bearis upon ; and that we ¦ will have , else the dungeons will have us to suffocation . Tyrants may break the spirits of men who know their rights ; but they can never make them bad ; they may sacrifice a Hoffer , but a Tell will arise ; they may kiU a Clayton nnd a Holberry , but vengeance will be sworn over their martyred bodies ; they may imprison a White and a Cooper , feat they will not long linger without companions ; they may transport a Frost anil an Ellis , but the indignant spirits of those who remember their worth and are still left behind cannot be pent' up in their bouse of clay ! - Neither the bludgeon of the blue coat , nor the sabre of the red coat can suppress the spirit of freedom ; nor haa ever the b . ' ood of martyred innocents bsen able to quench the holy flame when once kindled in the bosoms of a determined people .
Malthua has said , " That if a country can only be rich by running a successful race for low wages , he should be disposed to say . perish such riches . " So say I : and thus far I am a Malthusian . Here we behold a successful race has been won for low wages ; and here I pause to exclaim , " perish such riches ! " Riches accumulated by the low wages of starving millions ! riches accumulated for the sumptuous gluttony of the hauehty few ! riches sprinkled with the tear 3 and blood of hungry innocents and famishing serfs ! riches piled
together for ! But 'tis-no wocder there should be famine in the land -when so much et the people ' s substance is taken away for the use of palaces and chnrcheB !! £ 737 , 140 883 , according to the uncontradicted statement of Mr .
