THE CHARTER . AK ODE . Hark ! hear it ye slaves and a'wake , Arise and your menaeles break ! Shont the Charter ! the Charter ! the Charter ! Te winds blow like tram pets the Bound , WaTes , roar it all England around ; To arms and give tyrants no quarter . Millions of voices like one have burst forth From the east and the west , and the south and the north , Millions of men , with a voice like the ocean When tempest * have toss'd it in wildest commotion . Wave on ? banner on high , Like the gun in the sky . Success attend her , , Universal the cry The Snfirage ! Liberty ! Prom Albion to Scotia , to Cambria to Erio , Sounding , Rebounding , Like thnnder on mountains , Or torresrs frum fountains , The Charier bursts forth and ali nations are cheering Hcsh ! lei ; he earthquake esase ; Pause for a reply ? Silei . ce !—listen!—peace ! A voioe from the sky ! A still small voice more distant than all—The chorus of patriots drops like dew , Into every heart the echo doth fall , Aad every heart beats with life anew—Tis the voice of God—it says the chahter ! Fight for it ye heroes—die for it thou martyr I J- W , Battersea .

CAEUCSIiB . —The Si ' fMQPJi Elections . — The animal iBBn : e ; p . ai elections . 'or this borounh , to Euppij the vacancies caused by the ivtiring members , passed over with comparative quiet , and but slight opposition , except in OLe or two wares , where la Attempt was made to oust ' . he popular candidates , but without effect . The members returned , for the different wards , are all Liberals , which si ^ tifie .-, by the comiicu newspaper acceptation—Whius ; iadcv ? o , the Tories here hare aerer offered the least opposition to the Whig party , of which the present corporate body is principally eomp ^ std . The Tories mijyii , we believe , were they so inclined , return members for one or two of the -. vsrJs ; but were they doing 50 , t-:, ev are fully aware that their w * ight iu
the present corporate body would be comparatively light , and of little or no avail . If the return of members t--serve in the Town Couec : ] , is lo be made apoiit ' . cai q-estion , then we should gay that the Chartis ; , bocj have b ? ; a -rery rem 5 = in ihe performance of thf-lr 'iuty , for they haf- never , with one exception In Bi-tCitcrtiaie ward , looked after ih ^ franchise . Iu this ward , sevtrai a : ; emp : s hare been aatie to disfranchise the most liberal porXion of the burgesses , and had it i » ot bet-n for the rraiseworthy exertions of several iudiTidcals , and the pecuniary aid of others , the burgess L - ; -w . -jid have b ? en so seriously c-. n ^ ikd , a ? to hsve allowed the Whijr party to return who they ci ^ h : hsvc tijonght proper , The point established bv the bnTge = s £ s in this ward
13 one of srrr . at and paramount itcpoi'tanca to the country , and would , if generally act « u upon , enable the Cnsriis : body to in ?' u = e a much more liberal spirit into the > ariou 5 corporate bodies tbronghout the country . The point to which vre ha ^ e alluded has been established by" the two late mayors and a ? s-: ? . -or ? for this borough ; and has enabled ihe Eurj ^ esses ot ihc Ward to which we have aiiuded to plice their naaes upon the register , in s-pke ox" the miny and flagitious attezapts : o disfrancrise them . The ground on which the arteinpts have been mack to disfranchise a great portion of the Bar ^ ei-ses is . that tht-y are not bona fide rate-p ? yer =, and it has been contended that except the * pay their rates directly , they have no to be
ri ^ hfwhavfver placed upon the Burgess list . This ground of objection has , horrerer , been OTerrnled ser-rcl time ? , and wiii not , we suspect , be again attempted . Why have not the Chartists in othti Wards of the town acted upon this dtcision } Because they have apathetically set at naught the privilfge CGDferred upon them by the Legislature , and consif ^ red its exercise of eo aist-erial consequence . We will endeavour to convii . ee them of their error , by pointing out the great importance which they ought to attach to the securing and proper exJrcife of the rifcht which they possess . A qn ' esnon of very great moment is now before the Town ; and for the careful consideration of which , a committee of the Council " has Ken appointed to
make a report on the subject , which ; i =, * for tee better supplying the town with water , and improving the sewerage . " Isow , iha Council have gone so far in this matter as : o give instructions to the Town Clerk to give uoiitfe to Parliament of their intension to apply for an Act of Parliament on the sabjec : ; and come members of the Council hare already c--ntempia ' ed the selling of portions of the corporation properry , for the acoomplifihing of this , vrh : eh they consider , laudable object . This conduct , to say the least of it , is T £ . sh and pre-Btature under present circumstances , for it is eren a question wliii many whether this plan , if carried into foil and perfect operation , would either be profitable or beneficent to the to we—at least , to the Poorer portion of the inhabitants—more especially

There is one impor-** ntfeature « soanec ? ed with the question of water & 2 d sewerigo , vhich is , that CarlLie is pariiculariy We HEnppiied ' witi » water already , and is one of the Cleanest towns in England , Ireland , cr Scotland , according M - ^ e popu ' ftU ^ a and the nature the

emp l oyment of the pecpi * gcn-raliy . Yvt , at the Eime time while we record thi 3 fact , we are not opposed to even a bet'er supply of water , of a more wholesome kind ; and improvements in the sewerage , which would tend t-j the promotion cf the health ot the-inhabitants at lar ^ e , but more especially those situated in lower and more densely populated districts of the town . We have made these obaervations in a kind and friendly spirit , for we should feel ashamed were we actuated by party feeling , to sanction measures which were not for the general improvement of the town , and the lightening of all local burthens . —Correspondent .
TjEICESTER . INDEPENDENT ObDEK OP Uxmn BaoiESRS . —A new secret orvier , under this tiile , has been established here , the chief characteristics of which are , that while &s a body they make no pretention to " teetotali ? m , " their laws prohibit the use of intoxicating drinks at lodge meetings , and also the holding of those meetings at public houses . GATEHOUSE-ON-F&EET .-The teetotalers here held their annual soiree ou Monday , the 30 tb . October , in the Town Hail , which was crowded to the door . Excellent addresses were delivered by several clergymen and others from a distance ; and the more to enliven the evening , several soDgs and recitations wore given by members of the society .
Bnt the most interesting part of the business was the presentation of a splendid silver medal and chain , and a beautiful pair of embosssed pocket bibles , to Mr . John Donaldson , from a number of his friends and admirers in the South of Scotland , as a token of their esteem for his exenions in promoting teetotalism . They were presented b \ Mr . Samuel Wallace , with an able audsuitable address , and Mr . Douald > on returned shanks in a feeling and eloquent manner . Mr . Donaldson is president of our Charter Association , and one to whom we are much indebted for bis exertions asd advocacy in the cause of Chartism . Long may he live to enjoy the approbation of his friend ? , aa » l to advocate tfag moral and political improvement of the human race .

Fatal Collisions at Sea . —On Sunday afternoon last , the Caledonia steaiufr , freci Hambui £ h , arrived t'ffGrav ^ send , having in tow a vessel called the Louisa , belonging to St . Petersburg ! -, which had been met with oi ^ abled , and no person on b-ard , while on the sieaiaur ' s home-. vard pa ^ -sage , drift : r ; y abaut the German Ocean . The supposition entertained by the Caledonia's crew upon coming up with ihe vessel was that she had been in collision , for r > : -r bulwarks were stove ic , and altogether she was sfriouMy injured about ihe .

Mr . William Hone , the well-known author of the Eve > 'y-Duy Book and other popular work ? , died on Sunday last at his house in Gruve-place , Tottenham , after a long illness v . ni much suffering , which he bore with the mo 3 t exemplary patience . In early life he was celebrated as one of th < : first satin > ai writers of the day ; his " Political House that Jack built" went through upwards of fifty editions , and it is said , that by illustrating this and similar works the fame of George Crnikshank was first established . By pnuing one of his satires into the form of the Liturgy of the Churoh of England , he was prosecuted for blasphemy ; and his trial before Lord Elleuborough , which lasted three days , and in which he successfully defended himself in person , with tho greatest ability , may be considered one of the causes celebres of this couutry . When Dr . Stodart established the paper , now txtiuct , called the Neve Times ,
Mr . Hone pablished an admirable burlesque of it , in the form of a newspaper , called tho Slap at Stop , by which he gave a nickname to , and effectually demolished , that very frothy and pompous person . Having abandoned bis career as a satirist , ho appeared in later years as the editor of the Every-Day Book , the Year Book , and the Table-Book , three works , all ou the same principle of giviug antiquarian information in a popular form , and all exhibiting the indefatigable perseverance and research of Mr . Hone . Tne Every-Day Book , in which the information given is connected with the days in the year , may be considered as a standard library book . Towards the close of his life , he became one of the conductors of the Patriot newspaper , and in thi 3 situation he continued till increasing infirmity , occasioned not so much by years as by the unremitting hboura of his life , caused him to retire from every active pursuit .
Melancholy Catastrophe at Rufford . —It is our melancholy dory this week to record an event which has caused some consternation in the neighbourhoodin which it has unfortunately happened , and which , ought to be ihe mu&us of preventing others from pursuing a similar practice , which has brought two unfortunatefellow-creaturesioan untimely grave . George Brookes , waggouer to the Right H'ju . the Earl of Scarborough , aged thirty-eight , and Anu Brookes , his wife , aged thirty , resided in a cottage near the noble Earl ' s mansion , at Ruiford : and it appears that on Monday , tho 24 th ult ., Ann Brookes bad been whitewashing one of tbt bed-rooms upstairs , in which she and her huiband usua . Uy slept , and in order to dry it soon , she placed an iron pan in the
| room , into which sfce put some sticks , and set fire to j them . This was during the day . At night , when I they went to bed , th . y took the warming-pan up i stairs to warm Kae bed ; and it is supposed that j either the woman or hur husband , incautiously rej craiied the einfeers , and , shutting tho door close , j went to bed . A&out four o'clock the next morning , Brookes not coming to look after bis horses as usual , I oce of his fellow servants went and rapped at the j doer , and , suppotiug that would wak © him , he went > away , five o ' clock arrived , but still Brookes did not I r onke his appearance ; oh which his feilow-servant i went agaiu , jtnd , knowing that there waa & ooy
| sleeping in au adjoining chamber , he rapped until tho j bey got up , aui ordered him to go &ad see if anything . w& 3 the matter with George . Tue boy accordingly I went and openeJ the chamber do ^ r , and , ea ^ briiig j tho room , was almost suffocated with the smell ot j sulphor . Ou looking towards the bed he was horrorj etruck to fiud Brookes partly on thu bad , but with j his face on tho fljor , surrounded by a pool of blood . i Ho was quite dead and eold , and his wife was laid in i bed beside him a cold aud lifeajss-corpse .

Four Persons Poisoned at Guvhikn , near Wisxkach . —A very tserwus case of poisonintc occurred on Suuday Idtt ; ir * in thu tvidence it appeared that a ina . u nuaita W .

A Child in Dispute . —On Monday n > ght a fenWe child , asjed about sixteen m" > : tiis ; was fouud .- ' esorted in tho hall of the hous . si 53 , Ciarendoa-strout .

Melancholy and Fatal Circumstance—A very melanoholy and fatal circuniatanco occurred in our gaol last night . The facts are these : —This morning , at the usual hour , the turnkey of the felons ' cell proceeded to that part of the prison for the purpose of uulocking the cella . On reaching the centre cell , at tho entrance of which a stove ia placed ,
he was perfectly , horroir-sifuck to perceive three of the prisoners in a state of insensibility . Two of . thorn were almost lifeless at the time they were discovered , and in a few minutes afterwards life was completely extinct . Their names are Wat . Sullivan ( under sentence of transportation for seven years ) , and Edm . Burke , charged with the robbery of Mr . Holmes ' e fire-arras , in the Glen of Aherlow . The third man , named Callagar , charged with a similar offjnee , still survives , and hopes are entertained of hi 6 recovery . It seems that this fatal occurrence was caused by an aperture in the flua of the stove , in which stone coal was burning , and the deaths were caused by suffocation . We visited the cell at eleven o ' clock
this morning , and even at that time the smell was most offensivo and suffocating . An inquest was held before Mr . W . Ryan , coroner , and after a patient investigation the following verdict was returned : — " We find ithat the deceased , Edmund Burke and William Sullivan , came by their deaths from suffocation , by inhaling carbonic acid gas , which gas escaped from a tube leading from a stove ; and we beg to draw the attention of the Gaol Committee to the necessity of having the tube r . moyod from its present position and put in a safe piace .

Hatti . —Accounts published in the Kingston pap is from Hayti afsert 'Jiat Pre . s : Je « t Hoyer had issued a proclamation oAliiru ; in the ten doll , notes in cirou i atiou . O ; ' his abiiicy to pay thun iff t ? rave cioabw we expressed from the known low conditiou of tho freiHtn'y . The oxohan ^ u was io be » iu . de at fifty per doubloon , but as the provisio exists that any person tendering false notes is to be severely punished , the whole proclamation is regarded with suspicion . It is alleged that this is adopted by the President as a pretex- to dishearten parties bringing the notes forward , lest by . the military dictum of the authorities they should be declared false—a declaration which would surely be followed by a confiscation of their property . The admission is made that false nOteRbaVti been introduced into circulation , but ^ ince
the President had as the time tho full opportunity of suppressing them , and punishing the importers , it is regarded as rigorous iu the extreme to punish those who may happeu to be iauocent possessors . If the proposition simply went to imprmud the counrerleit , paper , it could then be viewed in no other light . th * n a salutary precaution , and would be open to no censure . Many of the merchants w = ra doubtful as to ihe real intention of the President baing an oxchsng ' ' for specie , and believed , on the contrary that there would be a mere exchange for one dollar and two dollar notes . Commerce and all branches of industry are stated ' . to be at ' -a stand . A 3 a proof of the m ^ ocu potency of the Treasury to meet the drain ot ? p cie whioh a bona fide caiiitig in of tte ten dollar notes wcuH produce , its stock of hard dollars is estimated at 800 , 000 , out of which tho pay of the military has

The same bail which had been previously refused were then tendered again , but Mr . Muu ' . e , the solicits ? of the Treasury , although he admitted that the persons , were otherwise not exceptionable , refused to consent to their be lug reoeived upon thesole ground of their political opinions . The parties , however , having gone before Lord Chief Justice Tindal , were by that learned jmige , admitted at once . Mr . JuBttce Patteson observed , that upon the statement of the learned counsel , there appeared to be no evideuo of apy corrupt motive having influenced the justices in their conduct
Mr Justice Patt ^ son observed , that ho did cot moan to state it as his opinion that the conduct of the magistrates was at all proper fa the citeanistanceB . The question npon the present application waa not wfcetber the justices were justified in what they had dona , bat whether caey were so manifestly influenced by partial and corrupt motives as to be liable to the peculiar and extraordinary paoceeding of a crimal information . Before he ( Mr . Justice Patteson ) granted such a rule as that which wa 3 now applied for , he must be satUSed of the coxrapt inteiitioas and motives of the magistrates
by such conclusive and satisfactory evidence as he could not perceive to exist iu any degree in tba present instauua . Tue very thin ? which the magistriTts had doua in the case in question had beta formerly dotie ia this court by a learned judge , who rejected a parson who was tendered as bail , and who was uno ^ jtcUoable in reference to the necessary amount of pecuniary qualification , fcut who kept a . gambling-hotue . That decision had , it was true , been subsequently overruled and sut aside , aud was manifestly incorrect ; but it had never b ' teri supposed that the party who made it had rendered himself thereby liable to a criminal iuforma *
tion . . ¦ Mr . Erie observed , that his clionts , in their affliavit , expressed their beiitf tint the defendants were iuflaenced by illegal , partial , and c-ariupt motives In refasiflg the bail . Mr . Justice Patteson observed , that the expreasiona of the deponents were large enough in themselves , but couJd have no i l fluenco ou the Court unless they wer « suppartsd by the facts of tha case . From the statement it only appeared that the magiattates considered tbat the pecuniary sufficiency of the proposed bail waa not tbe oniy matter which th' ^ y , the justices , ou ^ ht to take into consideration ; but that tliey were also at liberty to act upon other grounds conneottd With the character of the proposed sureties .
Mr . Erie taui that , as . in general ^ it would not be supposed that pei's « ius in the situation of O'Neil could procure bail from any other class of persons except those who sympathised with his political opinions , it would be a most formidable docttine to , lay down that a jnstice of tha peace may refuse ball upon the ground of thair political opinions being the same as tliose of the party for whom they proposed to become sureties . Mr . Erie submitted to his Lordship that there was a (^ reaS difference betwesn rejecting a n . an as b : « . il because hu kept a gaming-house , or was otherwise liable to tho criminal justice of ths country for having committftd aome int ' aciabie offence , and rejecting him for no other .. reason . titan his conformity in political - ( loiuions ' with the party for whom he was to be bound .
E- ^ en the matters ' . of fact alleged by ths justices in the prestnt instanco as the grounds of their conduct were untruly alleged ; as one at leabt of tho tenaered bail t . xpnssly denied ' all connexion with tbe Chartisls . . and st . it .-d that he-opposed the proceedings of the meeting i > iiich he Was-charged ' with having supported . But it' tho ca 88 ytro otherwise it would not Weaken tha / . rounds of the application , as the justices had no right to niter the measure of justice with any reference to ths iioiiiics of tho parties '; and if they ( the justices ) had « oj < : ! y acted from political causes , it was impossible for th <>! u to contend that they were free from the imputation of partiality : whilst it may be ea . d in addition tkat tlio fact of their . deciarint ; that they were iuflutneed i > y other motives , wliich they kept a secret from the panitd . afforded the fctrongesb presumption of cor-1 n . ifion .
Mr . Justice P . ttteson directed tho affidavits to be h ' -n . iB :: up to him , air . l stated that he should read them ovt-r before coming to a nna ! decision npan- the appllcatioiil . Hih Lordship , however , expressed his present npiiion to be that the ; nfliiiavita disclosed no facts vviiiclv wouid justify the Court in granting the rule .
