* £ hb Igsiais Isles . —The following appears . in ihe National— " We have received letters from the Ionian Islands , coEfinmnjr the reports' of disturbances in these idaEds , Trhich were speedily puppressed , bnl an extreme agitation prevails , and the insurrection is probably adjourned to a more favourable opportunity . The sneeess of the English Go-Ternment is attributed to treachery . A plan of insurrection was prepared , which was denonnced by traitors . The police baring been apprised of the fact , the oppressors of the lonians hastened to ateid the danger . Corfu , placed " under the funs of the citadel and of the ships of war , caused them no uneasiness , bnt the other islands Tvere less easily to be guarded , as the garrison of 1 . 500 Scotchmen were
Dot sufficient to restrain the population . The English jndged it more prudent to compromise aj > ortion of the population by forcing ihem to revolt , vrithoat giving them an opportnnuy to choose their , time . One of those men eTer * at the service of the police offered to become an agent to excite a rising , and , arming himself wuh a jrnn , be pretended to be a sportsman in pursuit of game . The police pmmed him , wiih orders to arrest bim for carrying- arms ¦ without a license . They commanded him to surrender , but he resisted , and thegendaraes not being in the secret shoi him dead . Such as event naturally excited pnhlio indignation . A body of armed peasants proceeded to the police-office , and threatened to murder the police . The Lard High
ComlE ' -ssionfir was ready , three companies of Scotchmen were sent against the peasants , aad the latter were cut to pieces by * n overwhelming force . The English did not stop there ; they proclaimed martial law , and in order to disorganizs the plan 3 of the insurgents rhey arrested their chiefB . The English GoTernment , as hypocritical in the face of Europe asmercil&ss towards the unfor unaie people snbjected to its laws , has proclaimed that this affair ¦ was merely an-affiir of plunder suppressed by the actmiy of the Lord Hi ^ h Commissioner . The truth ia now known , aad the language of the English Government cannot a ^ rain impose on Europe , too long deceived , as to it * true conduct of the protectors of the Ionian Islands . "
Fhxsce . —The National announces the acquittal , at the asaxes of Laval , of M . Ledra HoDin , a Member of the Chamber of Deputies , whom the Government had-prosecuted for some offensive language he held long ago , in addressing Ms constituents .

On the 12 th Colonels Grey and O'Keifis surprised the

Th p Emir had jast time to ilj , and on reaching the adjoining mountains , he rallied hi 3 fugitive force and made a bold stand , fighting himself in the foremost rank , and vainly nr ^ irg bis discouraged cavalry to follow him and chsrge tha assailants . At last , however , overccmeby numbers , he abandoned the field , leaving seventy M 3 led , his tent and those of his Agas , mules , horses , carpets , &c , in the hands of the French . On the followiug day Abd-el-Xader fell in with the division of General Lamoriciere , and experienced another defeat .
Siobm is Pabis . —Trom the violence of the gale yesterday mcrmug , the streets and tquafes of Paris were covered wiih slates , tiles , and fragments of every kind , torn from the roofs of the houses , iiany of ihe 3 ag 3 a . t ihe public buildings were either brought down or tofn ~ to dips . The Tuilerics did not escape , for the roof of the Pavilion de Fh > re , which has only jnst been re-covered with slate from Angers , was stripped in many place 3 . The gardens and the Champs Elysee s were strewed with branches from the trees . Several women and children were blown down on the budges . An acconstic phenomenon was to be heard on the Pont < 3 e _ 3 Invalices throughout the day . The wind , in forcing its way between the bars of iron , on which it is suspended , produced Eolisa sounds as deep as those on the diapason slop 3 of the largest church organs , the vibration extending to tha waole of the bridge . —Gaftg-9 um ? s Messenger .
Dbeadfux Fibs . —In the night of the 23 : h nit ., a farm , "with all its buildings , live and dead stock , iras destroyed by fire at BouDlargaes , in the Gard . A girl of tea years old perished in tht > flames . Tub calamity would have been much more terrible , but for the almost supernatural courage of the mother ef the family . Awakened from her sleep in a sfate of suffocation from the smoke , and finding her husband is the same condition , she carried him in her arms to a window at a further part of the house , and when he was somewhat recovered , induced him to make his escape through it . She then in like manner saved her mother , upwards of seventy years old , and two of her three children . She retinned for the third , but the poor child , in . seeking her own safety in flight , got involved in the flime 3 and vras burst . Her body was afterwards found in the ruins , reduced to a cinder . —French Paper .

The latest accounts from Java say , that on the Bight of the 9 ^ i of January there was an earthquake jb the island of Xias ^ the shock continued for some minutes , Easy bouses were over thrown , and the inmates huried in the ruins . A portion of the
monnlain Horessa sunk down into the valley and overwhelmed the buildings belonging to the Government , except the . Governor ' s house . A large Eimpoug , called * 3 Jego , was swept away by an enormous wave , and many persons perished . The same wave carried off , near Mount Sie-Tolie , a league farther to the north , several Indian proas , with such violence , that these vessels , * Tonn £ which was a Government cruiser , were throws out of the river , to the distance of 100 to 160 paces on the shore . The fear that the Aehinese of Glofa would take advantage of this opportunity to attack the garrison of "Mas had not been realised .

Pespisjias , Oct . 10 . —On the 7 th the Jnnta attempted , to storm the citadel of Barcelona with the 1 , 000 of the 1 , 500 men under their command . They ¦ were repulsed with tbe loss of 80 men . M . Bosch , the vice-president of the Junta , was mortally wounded . Jn conseqnenee of this attack the citadel and forts fired on the tews . The fire ceased in the evening , and did not recommence o& the 8 th . Thb Joebsai . des Delcls gives the following accouflt of the affair : — * Oa the 7 th , half an hour before day , the 400 Tolnnteers silently descended into the ditch , and applied ladders to the ramparts , which they ascended
with the most perfect good fortune , without any sentinel having the alarm . Having reached the top of the embankment , they gave the ^ signal agreed on for a false attack , intended to draw the attention of the garrison to acotheT quarter . At the same time the insurgents -nnmasketi a battery-of eight pieces of caimen , which- commenced a well-directed : fire against the citaa * el ,-whilsfc 2 , 000 volunteers placed in the trenches of the esplanade and in the houses of Santa Maria directed a rolling iire of mnsketrj against the ramparts . Tie garrison was aot moved by this noise , to which they were accustomed during the last month .
" The men who had mounted the breach , who had given the signal , and had descended into the in"terior of the citadel , found themselves arrested by an unforeseen obstacle—a second ditch , which they coraldTiot pass . They th 6 n endeavoured to draw-np their ladders to scale the second entrenchment . But the opportunity was lost—daylight had appeared , « od the garrison beat to arms . Obliged to return to the ditch , and to retreat under the ire of the garliBon , the volunteers lost 100 men killed or wounded Bat it- must be admitted they had . very nearly suc-CQceeeded in their attempt on the citadel .
A letter from Madrid , dated Ootober 3 rd , published in the Chnrmele , has tbe . following : —** 1 mentioned yesterday that communications had taken place between Canedo , the commander of the-Go--TerHHient forces before Saragossa , and the corpora fion of that town , with a Tiew to arrive at an amicable arrangement , if possible . The Saragossa people , it appears , have not been so easy to dope as those of Madrid . The terms they demanded were thai the National Guards should remain ontheii preseat footing , and the junta retain its powers as a local hoards giTing op , however , the demand oi tbe formation of a central junta . These demands were a « eeded to by Canedo provisionally . The ; Iekta been submitted to ' a Counoil of MinisterB here , who , however , refwe to ratify them , and General GoBstefc 1 b appoiated to leave to-night' to supersedt rvmMiA « nH in t ^ iAlantmwra of the Narvaea sehooi
-to bring && Saragossa folka to { heir senses ; so that we shaS , probably ! have some warn work . A letter feoa Saragossa , of tie 29 th , in today ' s ^ o ,, sayB that a very determined spirit prevails there j that flieT had 12 , 000 men under arms , and 10 ft pieces of cannon meunted on ^^ their defences . If is also stated that &ey b * d made * brilliant sortie , and some of the troops forining . the blockade had gone over to Thfi same Correspondent , in a letter dated Oet . 4 th , savs— "Tiro battalions of the Kegiment of Africa wire ordered , some time since , from Navare , to rein-

force the government troops before Saragossa , but they had repeatedly shown symptoms of defection , and several officers and sergeants had been separated and sent prisoners to Tolosa , and others arrested at Onate . Many arrests have also taken place in other corps at St . Sebastian and Yittoria . An order ha 9 been issued to the troops , constantly stationed within and aboat the Post-office , not to form in groups of more than eight ; so little cocfidenca have the military authorities in the only force which keeps them on from day to day . Their fears are , no doubt , great ; bnt the way in which they display them is quite ridiculeBS . The travelling tiakers that' are wont to go about here , and as they traverse the street , inform the inhabitants who have pots or
pans to mend , of their presence by striking an iron rod against a plate of the same metal , hare all at once been discovered to be a most dangerous race of men ; and the sounds which were wont to call the maid-servants from the attics to the ground floor , with their cracked tea-kettles , &c , are now ascertained to portend revolutions , and to be nothing less , in short , than a new mode of beating the generate , so thtir tinkling . proceedings have been peremptorily prohibited . It was only the day before yesterday that the whole town , from the Bilbea-gate to the Puerto de Sol , was in high alarm from the guard of the Talladelid diligence blowing his horn as he
entered the city ; whereupon all the gnards turned out in a great fright , prepared for action ; and -when it was ascertained that there was no other foe than the heavy diligence , their courage greatly increased , and a corporal and fonr seldiers were detatched in pursuit of the unlucky horn-blower , who was captured in due course , and ensconced in the guard-house of the principal station . The Madrid annual fair is now going on ; and it is usual , among other things , to have arms of various kinds , as pistols , swords , &c , in some of the stalls ; bat the dealers—those who had anything of the kind in their stalls the first 4 sy , did not venture to show themselves on the second ; their career was Eoon stopped .
A letter from Barcelona , of the 30 ih , states that General Sanz had given notice to the foreign consuls of his intention to attack the town the next day , and the French had all embarked . Prim had returned , aad obtained a re-inforcement of 1 . 000 men , to act against Amettler , who was raising recruits ai Gerona . The Junta had been unremitting in strengthening their defences , and there was no talk of surrendering , as the government papers here have so often reported to be toe case . Alcantx , a town near Saragossa , has declared for the Central Junta . Don Manuel de la Serna , Espartero ' s minister of the interior , and who 1 b bow in London , has been returned as a deputy for Seville .
The Elections . — "Op to the present time ( October 8 th ) , 187 Depnties have bees appointed . The opinions of thirty of them are not known . The rest may be classed as follows : —Sixty Moderados , and sixty to seventy entertaining the opinions represented by MM . Olozsga and Cortina ; thirty Franritquiiies , Centralists , Republicans , &c . Of the Chamber , which is composed of 240 Deputies , only about 180 ordinarily mee * . The Parliamentary majority will be considerable . At Grenada , according to the dispatches ef the
i Political Chief , an insurrection took place , which ! wa * promptly suppressed . Two battalions of the I ^ National Guard revolted , and attempted without success to cause the people to join it . The Political j Chief , in conjunction with the Captain- General , prof claimed martial law , and harangued the people . ' A sanguinary conflict took place between the troops I of the line and the revolted National Guard ? , near I the quarter of Si . Jerome . Several were killed and ' wounded on both sides . At length the revolted soli diers , not being supported , delivered up their anu 3 , and the insurrection was suppressed .
Granada was trarqnil on the 6 th . There is no news of Seville or Cadiz . Bnt the towns of Gallicia seem all to have proclaimed the Central Junta . A letter from Perpignan , 7 ih inst ., in the Emancipation ef ToulouBe , Bays : — ** On the 4 th , Pbi > £ who not seeing any possibility of attempting a coup de main against the fort of Figueras , had retired towards Girona , and commenced an assault on that to wn . It is impossible to describe the energy and valour displayed by the insurgents in the defence . All fought with a courage and ardour that did not abate for a single moment . Women and children were seen to take part in the action in rolling from the top of the wall on the assailants heavy articles of furniture and masses of stone . The struggle was desperate between the two parties , and Pbih was forced to retreat . It is said that the losses are great on both sides . "
According to the Moniieur of Satarday , * ' Almeira submitted on the 5 th . " On the 8 th the negotiations for the surrender of Saragossa were still proceeding . ^ " Perpjgsak , Oct . 12 —On the 9 th , the Junta invited all foreigners to quit Barcelona , allowing them only a delay of twenty hours . On the 10 th , the departure of the French and their embarkation took place without accident . The Consul took up his residence at Barcelonetta . " Commander Martell , haviBgbeen closely pursued by the population , surrendered at discretion to the commander of Tortosa . " The advanced guard at the Gate of France , at Girona , had deserted to General Pkim with its captain . "

CRIMES OF THE RICH-SUFFERINGS OF THE POOR . The condition of the poor is a subject which , altogether irrespectively of the Poor Law and its collateral questions , must ever excite tbe attention of thinking men . Above all , it should in London , where the condition of the poor is most strikingly appalling . It appears from the report of the proceedings at Marlborough-street Police-office , in . our columns of yesterday , that there is an average number of fifty human beings , of all ages , who huddle together in the parks every night , having no other shelter than what is . supplied by the trees and hollows of the
embankment . Of these the majority are young girls who have been seduced from tbe country b y the soldiers , and turned loose on the world in all the destitution of friendless penury , and all the recklessness of early vice . This is truly horrible . Poor there must be everywhere . Indigence Tsill find its way and set up itB hideous state in the heart of a great and luxurious city . Amid the thousand narrow lanes and bystreets of a'popnlous metropolis there must alwayB , we fear , be much suffering—mueb that offends the eye—much that lurks unseen . But that witkin the precinots of wealth , gaiety , and fashion , nigh the regal grandeur of St . James ' s ,
close on the palatial splendour of Bayswater , on the confines of the old and new aristocratic quarters , in a district where the cautions refinement of modern design has abstained from erecting one single tenement for poverty ; whicih seems , as it were , dedicated to the exclusive enjoymentB of wealth , —that there want , and famine , and disease , and vice should stalk in all their kindred horrors , consuming body by body , soul by soul 2 It is , indeed , a monstrouB state of things . Enjoyment the most absolute , that bodily ease , intellectual excitement , or the more innocent pleasures of sense can supply to man ' a craving , brought in close contact with the most unmitigated misery 1 Wealth , from its bright saloons , laughiBg—an insolently heedless laugh , at the unknown wounds of want I Pleasure , cruelly but unconsciously "mocking the
pain that moans below 3 All contrary things jobIling one another—all contrary , save the vice which tempts and the vice which is tempted ! It is a sickening theme . It brings home to the heart the utter weakness—the utter hardness of enr nature . There is wealth , there is skill , there is art , there is science , there is theory , — all these enough , and more than enough , in England . Most abundant are they in the heart of England . Yet does tiie life-blood rush in . a more healthy stream 1 Does the pulse of the nation beat with a more generous rapture ! Whom has its wealth made happier ! Whom has its skill taught to shun the moral pestilence that consumes its tens of thousands ? Whom has its theory taught the high and paramount duty which man owes to the infirmities of hi 3 brother man 1
There are men of many theories abroad . Some ¦ would build in the human race within parallelograms , and bid them go and practise virtue Cintuiiively . Others would amputate tariffs and navigation laws , crying to all , "the halt , and the blind , and the penniless , " Go trade , and be rich . " Some there are who , believing that society is hollow , false , and tottering , would restore long-forgotten rules , and bring the vague and casual charity of men under the cognizance and direction of the church . = But these men are laughed at by the age . For is not the age utilitarian , and therefore trise 1
But let all men , whether of theory or of practice , remember this- ^ thak within the most courtly precincts of the richest city on God ' s earth there may be found , night after night , winter after winter—women young in yeara—old in sin and Bufferings—¦ outcasts from society—soimo fboh fakirs , tilth , akd D £ sjeasb . Let them remember this , aad learn not to theorise , out to act . God knows , there is much roomfor action now-a-days . — Time * .

SOUTH WALES . t'From our own Correspondent . J In the appendix to my last week ' a letter , J informed your readers of a fracas which had takes place ia tbe early part of tfeat week , between the daughters of Rebecca , and two of the administrators of legal processes , who are best known by the name of bum-bailiffs Tbe affray came off at a place called Tyrypbund , in the parish of Llangunnor ^ which is in the occupation of a Sir . Wm . Phillip , against -whom a distraint -was issued for the sum of £ 7 10 s . being balf-a-year ' s rent of his little farm . Abvout correspondent has had an interview with " Phil-o ' -tbe-Pound , " since his liberation from gaol , he will give an account of the sceno in
Phillip ' s own wordB : — " I was on my way to Carmarthen" says that personage , " In order to transact a little business ; and when about n mile on my road , I mot the two bailiff * , wbo informed me that they were going with a distress to my house , I remonstrated '/ with tbe fellows , and told them that I bad a set off against tbe account ; as I had furnished my landlady with hay * straw , and other farm produce ., for which I had not got credit ; and which would make a material difference in the amount , if it did not leave a balance in my favour . But they paid do attention to thiB , and persisted in their determination of executing the warrant . I accompanied them back , and as we were passing a public-house at Nant-j-cws they began sponging for something to drink ; but as I did not feel indebted to them for their civility .
I was in nowise disposed " to Btand treat" When we arrived at the farm , they began rummaging among the things , and one of my sons had some sharp words with them . While this quarrel was going on in the barn , an old woman appeared at the barn door , who seemed as if scarcely able to totter on her staff . She said ' my little children , -what ' s the matter with jon here ? ' and my eon explainer ! to her the nature and business of our visitors . Bailiffs r said the old lady in great apparent surprise , ' Bailiffs ! in n . y peaceful dominions ; no , no , this must not be ; comeber < . my daughters , and give these men their gruel ! ' Oa looking out , '' continued old Philip , " I saw that the barn-yard -was quite full of people , all dressed In women ' s clothing , and the most of tbtm with handkerchiefs over their faceB . When John
o' -ihe Ball Court ( one of tbe bailiffs ) heard about the ' gruel' be darted off through tbe crowd , followed by a band of the strapping dames ; even the old lady herself pursued the flying hero with wonderful agility , and Bhoweied some "weighty blows upon bis shoulders with her staff . Few « f ner daughters were able to keep pace 'with her ; and , after a cbace of about a quarter of a mile , the runaway was secured , and brought back to the house . John ihe Mermaid got off with much less id jury than his comrade ; for , as he was oaptured immediately , be escaped all the blows ¦ which were plentifully administered during the flight . The bailiffs were then ordered to se down on their knees , and sat THE writ ; but when they manifested their willingness to obey her mandates in this particular , by
each of them swallowing s > part of it , 'Becca declared herself satisfied , and ordered them to pat the remainder in the fire , which was done accordingly . The old lady then observed ¦ that as they were strangers , they should be hospitably treated ; ' and aafced one of her daughters . < what was in tbe pig trough' ? ' Grains , mother 2 ' was thereply . * Bring here a couple of platesfnil , and two spoons ! ' was the next order . The bailiffs showed no great inclination to feed ; but , after receiving sundry admonitions from the oak saplings with which each of the young ladies was provided , and making certain wry faces at the . quality of their repast , they at last got through with their breakfast , and desired to be gone . But , no ! the ed&Us only had been despatched ; and the old lady urged that it would be a want of courtesy in her to permit their departure without having partaken
of something to drink . Two jugs were accordingly filled with not very clean \» aU * from a neighbouring ditch , which they were desired to drain to the drega . Having finished their repast , they were ordered again te go down on their knees , and take the following oath on tbe Bible : — ' As the Lord liveth , and as my soul livetb , I will never come here to make a distress again ! ' They were then permitted to take their departure , which they did , mentally vowing that no earthly consideration should again tempt them out on such an errand . " The old man further informed your correspondent that on his arrival in Carmarthen , after the bailiffs went away , he was apprehended on a charge of aiding and abetting ; and , after fonr days' imprisonment , was liberated on being fbound over , himself in £ 200 , and two sureties in £ 100 each , to answer any indictment that may be preferred against him .
I have learned that on Thursday night last , another of these much dreaded officials was esjaying "tired nature ' s sweet restorer , " at a farm called Towy Castle , in tbe parish of Llandefeilog , near the town of Carmarthen , where be was lawfully in possession , tinder a sheriff's warrant for £ lS 0 < He was roused from his balmy slumbers by tbe unwelcome sound of a horso ' s hoofs , which he at once guessed to be tbe signal of the approach of the lawless Rebecca . He rolled himself up in tbe counterpane , hid himself below the bed , and used every effort to avoid coming in contact with a lady of whose prowess he had beard so mncb . Bnt Rebecca insisted on an interview , whicb the frightened " bum " ultimately consented to , under a premise that her ladyship wonld do him no harm . Rebecca received
him most graciously , told him he was not to blame , and urged him at once to depart snd make the best of his way to Carmarthen , or vengeance woald be sore te overtake him . The alarmed bailiff instantly consented , and proposed making his way home through the fields , as tbe road was shorter and more' convenient . *• Your convenience , " said 'Becca , " ia not to he consulted ; you must go by the main road , that my daughters may see you go . " "Any way , " Bald the officer , "that will please yon ; only let me go ! " and away be scampered as fast as his legB conla carry him . Rebecca on this occasion Is said to have had tbe mane of a horse hanging down her back and a large feather in her cap . Her daughters were all disguised and well armed witb guns , pistols , and swords . They saw the bailiff clear off the premises , and fired several shots after him to
make him quicken his pace . They then returned to Towy Castle , and wished to convey away the whole of the properly ; but Mrs . Phillips , tbe occupant , begged of them not to do so , as the whole would be settled in a few days . 'Becca replied , that unless the business was settled to'hex satisfaction , she would pay them another visit . On Monday n 5 gh ^ , a large party of Rebeecaites perambulated the neighbourhood of Earl Cawdox ' s lead-mines , at Rbandir Mwin , in Carmarthenshire , for the purpose of intimidating tbe workmen , who are from the county of Cornwall , from pursuing their mining operations . A degree of jealousy has existed for many years between the Welsh and Cornish miners who are employed at these works ; and it would seem that the former are not averse to have Rebecca's all potent aid to expel the latter from the neighbourhood .
I mentioned last week the destruction of ft gate between Builth and Llandovery . After the demolition of the gate in question two policemen were despatched from Brecknock to guard the toll-house , and to prevent any further outrages . These two guardians of the peace and the pikes found their avocation too dry for their taste , and accordingly adjourned to a neighbouring public-honseto " wet their whistle" with something comfortable . Tbe ev « r-vigilant Becca , taking advantage of their absence , set fire to the house ; and the whole building was consumed before the policemen returned . On Thursday night last , a farm-house and buildings were burnt down , about six miles from Carmarthen , on the Swansea road , in the neighbourhood of Llanddarrog . The cause as usual ; taking the farm over the bead of the old tenant . The whole was reduced to a heap of ruins .
On Saturday night , five prisoners were escorted in from Llaudovery by a troop of dragoons , charged with being participators in some of the outrages in that quarter . They were two tailors , a stonemason , a labourer , and a boy . When the examination and committal takes place ( for they will be committed as a matter of course ) , I shall forward you the particulars .

The farmers here nominally enjoy the franchise ; but it is only the Semblance of freedom without the reality ; for they are driven to the poll , the helpless tools by which the aristocracy hope to keep the manacles of slavery xivettod oh tUe limbs of freeborn men . A new era bas however dawned upon the minds of the Welch . They ar . e now . beginning to see , not exactly as their fathers saw ; and daring to think , aye and act , for themselves , without consulting any lordling ' s will .- A spirit of enquiry is abroad ; and the more , that the people enquire the more they are convinced that the present system is not , as they had hitherto been taught , the very height of human perfection . However the Times , and the other half-fledged brood , which follow in its wake , may trumpet forth their cuckooo notes , the
Welch people ere daring to RE a son upon " broad principles and deep foundations ; " and another election niay perchance convince the country that they have not thus been reasoning in vaia . I neither hope nor fear that the present ' Rebecca Movement" will diverge into a "Chartist Movement ; " because I am certain that it will do no such thing ; but I am equally well convinced that the numerous : public meetings which ' are held almost daily , and the doctrines which are there advanced , are rapidly preparing the public mind for the recipiency of " Chartist principles ; " and when they shall have been fully convinced of the fallacy of their present " movement j " ' when they shall be fully aware that their hopes are vain of thereby obtaining substantial relief , it Will then be tbe duty of the Chartist public to take advantage Of " the turn of the tide , " and allow their principles to have full scope . It would
be madness , nay it would be worse ; it would be traitorisin to tbe hallowed cause of Chartism to attempt to mix it up with the present movement Rebecca must be permitted to run her course . This may , and I have no doubt will , take her months to effect ; but sooner or later her agitation must come to an end ; and then will bo the time for our Chartist friends to be up and doiBg . Tbe ground will be ready cultivated for its reception . All that they will have to do will be to sow the seed , and ' my basnett to a ' prentice cap" a plentiful crop of back-bone Chartista will be the result . Not that I would counsel apathy or indifference for one moment , to any portion of the Chartist public ; we have had rather too much of this already . Let the Individual Chartists be unceasing in the diffusion of a knowledge of their principles j and let our organized Welsh societies be prepared for united and etieraelie action , so soon as tbe present excitement shall have passed away .
It is now some twelve months ago Bince the "Ksbecca ' warfare against toll gates began . It has been carried on from that time to the present , without having experienced any considerable interruption . The Government took no Bteps at the commencement either to allay the excitement , to remedy the grievance , or to curb the lawless spirit which had began to manifest itself . The popular commotions " had no connection with politics ; " therefore , the Government did not feel called on to interfere- But no sooner did these commotions cause the people to turn their attention to the study of political questions—no sooner did they bend their inquiries to the workings of the infamous New
Poor Law , to the revenues and management of ecele-8 iastical affairs , or to any one of the thousand questions in which the people feel an interest—taa < i tbe tactics of those in power were instantaneously changed ; their ** ¦ craft was in danger , " and , comei what may , Rebecca must be put down . A solitary itinerant , a Bow-street magistrate , was sent down to Wales as a Government Commissioner , in order that the farmers might be led to suppose that the Government actually desired to remove their grievances . But old " Bscca " was not to be gulled ; she saw that this was only an expedient to draw her off from the consideration of her wrongs ; and , consequently , her career was not for a moment interrupted .
A rnral police was next established ; the Principality was inundated with soldiery , horse , feot , and artillery ; every village , nay , every clachan is now garrisoned with troops ! and hordes of spies and London police are prowling the country in every direction . Still the old Lady ia unsubdued ; nay . ; she waxes bolder and bolder in proportion to the energy displayed by her opponents ; and the more determined they appear to be to put a stop to her proceedings , the more she seemB resolv « d to bid them defiance . The terrors of the judgment seat axe now to be added to the formidable array ; and on the day in which these observations shall be given to the public in the columns of the Star , the Special Commission will ; be opened in Cardiff for the trial of the Glamorganshire prisoners . Whether this will put a stop to the old Lady ' s progress is a mystery which I dare not venture to attempt to solve .
Dreadful and Fatal Accident . —Oa Monday the 11 th inst ., a serious accident occurred at Pasture Hill CftUiery , wherebv seven individuals lost their Hve 9 by a sadden influx of water . All those who were in the other part of the workings escaped , with the exception of one man , who hastened to warn his fellow-workmen of their danger , but before he could return ,: his retreat was cut off by the depth th water had gained . Mr . Bellamy , of North Suagerland . and the trustees of Bambro ' , sent thoir men to aid in reduoing the depth of water and rendering every possible assistance . The names of the sufferers are : —Men—R . Cochrane , John Arkle , Donald Campbell , and John Arkle . Boys—Nicholas Mather , James Stephens , and Peter Gallagher .
Mr . Shiel ' s Speeches . —Of all men living , Mr Shiel is distinguished for eloquenoo the most fiery and rapid ; he says himself that he is characterized by an * 'infelioitoua rapidity of elocution . " No shorthand Writer , however expert , can follow out his " many membered periods' ? . Aware of this , the Hod . and Learned Gentleman prepares his speeches beforehand , and after delivery giveB them to his favourite paper , the Morninff Chionicle , which , however , does not appropriate them to itnelf , bnt gives what are technically called " pulls" to the other journals . It is only when Mr . Shiel intends to speak for two or three hours that he bo prepares himself !; when he makes a short address * say of half an hour , he immediately retires to the library
of the House of Commons , or , which isnotunfrequently the Case , for greater convenience and quiet , he goes off to the office of the above-named old Whig paper , and there commits to writing what he has jnst uttered , giving the slips of his copy to the printer as he applies for them . On the second day of the recent Irish Church debate , Mr . Shiel made his appearance in his otab ( the Athenaum ) as early as eleven o ' clook in the forenoon ; he was supplied with an immense quantity of paper , folio after folio of reference , including Johnson ' s Quarto Dictionary were piled before him , and with " the pen of a ready writer , ' * he indicted his speech on the Church question . In the course of the day , Mr . Ward had an interview with him , and was delighted to find chat he would have the weight of a thorough searching speech from Mr . Shiel ; they shook hands and parted } Shiel resumed , and never Btopped writing , musing , or referring to his books until the clock
strnck four . Off he hied to the House , and took his Eeat half an hour afterwards ; it was eeon buzzed about that he was to open his battery in the course of the evening ; but , as your readers are aware , that opportunity was cut away by Mr . Eacott moving that tbe House be counted , whea there were only a few members above thirty present . Mr . Shiel ' s speech , however , will keep . One word more—and I hope the most fastidious readers of i \ m Register will not think that the curtain is improperly drawn—Mr . Shiel , ever since his memorable contre- temps at Penendon Heath , several years ago , where the courier of a newspaper ebtained from him three columns of a speech , which was printed in that evening ' s paper , but which , owirg to a row at the meet ibr , was never delivered—bas always taken the procaution of speaking his speeches before he gives them in MS . —London Correspondent in the Edinburgh Register .

The Storm in Scotlasd . —Up till Tuesday night the weather had been Calm , and except for a few light rains , on the ¦ whole favourable for gathering in the odds and ends of the harvest , and for raising the potato crop . Wednesday , however , was ushered in with torrents of rain , which continued to fall without interruption the whole day , accompanied by sudden and fierce gusts of wind , increasing towards < vetoing to the wildest tempest , and the rain pouring out as if the whole sky had become one vast water-: spout . About nine o ' clock the hurricane was at its height ; and Thursday morning was again calm , cold , and clear ; but when day broke the whole range
of the Oohills was Coated with snow as in the depth of winter ; and farther west , Benlidi and Benlomond were glittering like jtwo mighty icebergs to the sun , presenting a singular contrast to our own Pentland 9 , whioh were still fresh and verdant as in high summer . Yesterday morning the thermometer stood at 28 , with ice on the pools half an inch thick . The potatos were to Bome small extent washed bare by the tremendous rain of Wednesday , and although a few have been injured by the frost of yesterday morning , we were happy to learn from several persons occupied in lifting them , that the injury has been to a very small extent , —Caledonian
Mercury , i Suicide . —Mr- Gioson . aged fifty-seven , offioial assignee of the Court pf Bankruptcy , committed suicide , by hanging himself oa Friday the 13 th inst ., at his house , No 9 , Blaadford Square , London . A j ury on view of the body wa 9 holdeu on Saturday before T . Wakley , M . P ., when a verdict " that deceased had destroyed himself , being at the time in an unsound state of mind , " was agreed to by twelve of the jurors ; one of the jury ( not included in the twelve ) dissented from the verdict .
Death of the Bishop of Lichfield . —The Rev . Dr . Bowstead , Bishop of Licbfield and Coventry , expired after a painful illness , on Wednesday the 11 th inst ., at Clifton Wells , near Bristol . The deceased was a Whig Jin politics and strongly adverse to the tractarian doctrines recently introduced into the Church . He was consecrated Bishop of Sodor and Man in 1838 , and on the death of Dr . Samnel Butler , the learned editor of M ^ Eichyllus" and master of Shrewsbury School , in 184 * , he was translated to the see of Lichfield and Coventry . For some timo he was prebendary of Salisbury We understand that , on Friday last , the mortal remains of the Right Rev . Prelate were removed from Clifton to Eccleshall Castle , Staffordshire , prior to being depositod in Lichfield Cathedral .
The Clock op St . Clement ' s . —Our publisher is greatly inconvenienced by parties coming into the office to inquire why all the four dials of the clock of St . Clement ' s tell a different story , and why every one of them is always wrong . If the clock cannot keep going let it turn off all its hands , wind up its affairs , and retire at ] once from public observation ; buc let it not attempt to occupy a high and prominent position , if it is unable to fill it with credit to itself and profit to the community . We have put up with more from this clock than from any other public servant . We thought it might oaly want time to
bring itself round ;] but fiuding it will not give as any hour , we will no longer give it any quarter . We expjeetaL-af meeting of the hands the other day attweli ^ o ' clock , but it did not occur , and things remain in the same uncertainty . We feel justified in calling on the clock for an account of iia works ; and , if no minutes have been kept , we shall leave the public to judge of the estire matter . Since writing the above , we have j been told that it is the hourhand which refuses to move in the affair , but that the minute-hand is quite ready to Becoad anything reasonable . —Punch !
The latb Mr 3 . Govdie , Bbhn 3 ' Cottage — The Ayr Advertizer , of Jast week , notices the death , at Burns' Cottage , of the relict of the late John Goudie , better known in the annals of the land of Burns as ** Miller Goudie . " ) Mra . Goudie was in her 70 th year , and till withinja few years of her death was in her usual health , —receiving , with the same kindly and somewhat maternal hospitality , every addition to the many thousands whom she had welcomed to the humble birthplace of the poet . No one who ever visited the cottage—not even the most eminent and fastidious in the literary world—but dropped something like a blessing upon the tidy old landlady , who kept the cottage as bright and clean as they could wish the poet'B fame . —[ In the Star of August 26 tb , in G . J . Harney ' s , " Northern Tour " , appeared a notice of Burns' Coinage aad its now deceased occupier , Mrs . Goudie , was then apparently well and hearty . She has now followed her partner to " the land o' the leal . " ] !
Tub Heroes op JWar and op Science . —As an instance of men of a modern era , let us take Napoleon Buonaparte , Emperor of Franco , and James Watt of Greenock ^ civil engineer . The former applied the energies of a sagacious and comprehensive intellect to his I own political aggrandizement ; the latter devoted his more modest talents to the improvement of a mechanical engine . The former was and is par excellence , a hero of history—we should scarcely fiud in the works of the most voluminous analists the name of jfche latter . What has Napoleon done to entitle his name to occupy so prominent a position ? He has been the cause , mediate or immediate , of sacrificing the live- of two millions of men . Has the obscure Watt done nothing to merit in the
records of mankind \ Walk ten miles in any manufacturing district ; eater any coal mine ; examine the bunk of England , travel by the Great Western railway , or navigate thelDanube , the Mediterranean , the Indian or the Atlaiitio Ocean—in each and all ot tbese , that giant slave , the steam-engine , will be seen , an ever-living } testimony to the services rendered to mankind by its subjugator . Attachment to a favourite pursuit is undoubtedly calculated to bias the judgement ; buj , however liable may be the obscure votary to BCience to override his hobby , Francis Bacon , Lord High Chancellor of England , in ascribing to scientific discoverers a higher merit than to legislators , omperora , or patriots , cannot be open to the charge } of egotiBtio partiality . What , then , says this illustrious witness ?— " The
introduction of noble inventions seems to hold by far the most noble place among ah human actions . And this was the judgement of antiquity , whioh attributed divine honours ; to inventors , but conferred only heroical honours upon those who deserve well in civil affairs , Buch as the founders of empires ; legislators , and deliverers of their country . And whoever rightly considers it , will Had this a judicious custom informer ages , since the benefits of inventors may extend to all mankind , but civil benefits seldom descend to more than' a few ages , whereas inventions are perpetuated through the course of time . Besides , a state is seldom amended in its civil affairs without force and perturbation ; whilst inventions spread their advantage without doing injury or causing a disturbance . — .

THE REMEDY . The spring puts forth its buds and flowers , And vernal glories clad the bowers ; And bursting from its wintry tomb , Earth smiles ia universal bloom . The feather'd warblers on the spray , I a anthems greet returning May ; Again the murmuring streamlets flow , And all seems harmony below . Shall man alone hear grief ' s impress , Unmoved by nature ' s loveliness \ Shall the belief tie soon must die Call from his breast the bitter sigh I No ' —for if nature he'll pursue , Health and long ! life will be his duo ; For dread of death no longer chills Those who have taken Parr ' s Life Pills .

Up came an ; Irish infantry mans who , although following the Example pretty generally given him , and retreating * , still seemed to do it a a contre cteur and kept up a . sort of running fight on his own account , perfectly independent of any body else in the world . The fellow was steaming from what appeared to be a mixture of heat and fury , and his face was as red as Dan O'Connell's after a few hours ' speech to the finest pisanthry . His lips and cheeks were black with biting cartridges . 'Be G—d ! ' said he thumping his musket butt down-to the ground , and wiping his face with a rag he took out of his shako .

the interests of the agriculturists , that one vast , general , and overwhelming ruin seemed about to engulph all ¦ who were engaged in agricultural pursuits . The burdens which they -were called upon te pay -were annually Increasing to a fearful amount ; their rents , already screwed up by sompetition fat above thereat value of the land , were increasing also ; many of the farmers wer reduced to such an extremity of poverty as not to have in their possession even a change of linen , but were compelled to keep their beds while their shirts were in the wash-tub ; many more enjoyed the near prospect of being tamed adrift from their comes—those homes -which -were endeared by many a tender recollection , the cottage in which they and their fathers were born
THE STATE OF WALES . The inhabitants of South Wales are not only b Beripu& and thinking race ; bnt they are also a patient—an enduring—a long-suffering people . Difficult as they are to rouse , hard as it Is to awaken them from inaction into activity and life , their resentment when roused is fully equal to their former endurance ; and their resistance of oppression is as powerful and stringent as their former patience . They have suffered long ; they have suffered silently ; and they , have suffered much . The grievances to which they have been subjected were partially detailed in the last week ' s Star ; and these , coupled with the rapacity of landlords and the depreciation of agrictiltural produce caused by the Free Trade Tariff of Sir Robert Peel , operated so powerfully upon
-with do other alternative before them than the wide world , or the detested Bastile . Cases like these were neither isolated { nor rare , bat were beginning to form tbe rule ; whilst comparative comfort was regarded as the exception . The situation of the farm labourers is truly pitiable , They well remember the time when they oonld en } 6 > the present , and look forward tS tbe future . They etuld at all events regard that future , without the iear of actual starvation casting a gloom over their minds 4 for they knew that th « then law of the land kept acual want from the threishBold of their homes . But now , in these days of maudllug sentiment and mock philosophy , the comforts of the labourer are fled , and his peace of mind has fled with them .
The state of degradation to which our Welsh , farmers have been reduced , should act as another stimulus to oar Chartist brothers never to lose sight of the great objects for -which they are united , viz : — the franchise '; and not only this , but tae fullest and most ample protection in its exercise .
