± y nfTOCATION" TO THE SPIRIT OF HOLBESRr . Hail . ' mighty spirit of the dead ! 0 ! £ 11 each tyrant heart with dread , And freedom ' s sons inspire ; Th » t they may gain the glorious caase Por -which thou felTst to class-made laws , A sacrifice so dire . Tho' burst thy chains theu ' st not forgot , The proud man ' a scorn—the poor man ' s lot . Freedom thine eye once fired ! Injustice qnail'd before thy gaze ; Aud monster tyrants stood amazed ; Whilst liberty admired ! In mercy snre the summons came From high , to quench that noble flame , When justice stood apart ; Thy godlike son ! too strait confin'd , For such a bold capacious mind , Vow animates each heart .
And nay it still pursue its mgbb , Dispel the mistB and eloom of night , And shine like mid-day ' s Bun , ^ TiU free-born Britons own thy -wor th , And shont , ¦ while despots crouch to earth ; Onr nation ' s freedom ¦ won . Edwin Gill . SheSeli - .

CHABTIST SOXff . I said to my father a Chartist I'd be , He said if I 'fas be would never own me ; " Farewell then , " I cri « d , " to the old house at home , Fsr away o ' er the bills for the Charter I'll roam . " I left all icy friends , who now had turn'd foes , I left my dear love for the sake of the cause ; There w ^ s never a tear , but a smile in my eye , For 1 thought of the Charter and sweet liberty . I spoke to our lads , and I said " come with me , You ' ve fees slaves long enough — 'tis time you were free . " . ' ' Their eyes spark'd "with fire , and it made my blood warm , So I cried out , at once— " to arms , my lads—arm !'
Oh God , all I ask , before > J do die , Is to strike a good strike for Bweet liberty- ; " § 3 cose !—who'll bs flirt?— 'tis time to begin ; Come d ~ uw your good swords lads—come draw and Etrike in . " J . W .

THE LADIES' HAND BOOK OF KNITTING , NETTING , AND CROTCHET , containing pla ; E directions by ¦ which to become proficient in these branches of useful and ornamental ernp ' oyment . By the author of ' ¦ The Ladles ' Haxd BorK ct Fanct Zveedlework a > d EMBRorDSKi . vG . " London : H . G . CJarke and Co ., 65 , Old Bailey , 1842 . This little maual i ? a worthy snesessor to its companion , the Ladies' Hand B ^ ok of Fancy Needlework , and promises to be of vas : nriiity . The former work has already reached its second thousand , though it has not been mnch rccre than one month before the public , and we doubt not but that the Hand Book of Kniitin-r . &c , will find an equally favourable recep : ion . The plan is one well
calculated to effect the desired object , and the directions for the various kinds of work , plain , concise , and forcible . The introdacnon and the first chapter are also highly interesting for the amount of general information they contain , and will be read with interest , not only by those for whose nse the book is Epeciaily intended , bnt by others in more advanced Rages of life . One feature in thess little works is peculiar ; the author considers that all accomplishments should be directed to the attainment of some moral end , and in accordance with this view of the subjeet he has introduced here and there moral reflections of an highly interesting character . The following extract will be read with interest by every parent who is at all anxious for the improvement of oar rac ? , and its advancement to a state of moral excellence .
" But there is yet a higher kind of use to -which we "would apply them . We would have the young lady who is bwcoEing expert and clever at her needle , to reflect , as the beautiful fabric grows beneath her forming hand , that her work , and the power and skill to plan Jtnd execute it , is an emanation of the immortal mind ; of that mind , -whose creative powers are a faint , but legible transcript of the omnipotent wisdom of the Deity . This thought gives a permanency to what would , in any other light , be only transitory as the summer cloud . 1 ; is omnipotent wisdom and power , which has
contrived and executed all the beautiful wonders of creation ; and that wisdom and power were called into activity by cmiiipotent love . We wish to impress this Enblime truth upon the mind of onr young readers , beeanse we wish them to place their Heavenly Father before them , as their pattern and example , in all that they take in hand ; and , to remember , that as He formed the universe by wisdom , from love , so all their actions and elegant contrivances Bhould be the result of judgment , guided by affection , that they may thus become "ike their Father who is in Heaven .
Indeed , it is only , when accomplishments are rendered subservient ta the development of moral goodness , that they become pursuits at all worthy of an accomiab ' e being . We were not sent into this world to flatter ihrongh life like the gaudy bntteify , only to be seen and admired . We wtre designed to be useful to our leBow-beicgs , and to make all our powers Mid capabilities in ssme way or other conducive to the happiness and welfare of our co-journeyers on the path of time . To this end we wish our fair countrywomen ' o devote their best attention , aud in . its attainment to exert every energy which they possess . We wish item to make all the knowledge which they may acquire subserve some noble purpose , which will
outlive the present hour , and to do this the well-spring of the purest affections mnst be opened in the sonl ; and the elegant productions of taste and genius become vitalised and animated by the spirit of love . Thus , and thus only , can the occupations of a leisure hour , be converted into efficient ministers of good , and such they will assuredly be found , if practised from right motives , and placed in due snV-oraination to the right exercise of more important duties . Let then the you-g Votaress of the netxile , of Grawicg , or of music , ever bear La mind , thit the time employed in those pcrsnUs ¦* " ! be accountedlostorimprovvdbythe impartial Judge cfail , ja ? t in properLion as they have been made tc serve U : e purposes of £ ci £ sh gratiac-tion , or to minister to tie development of an elevated moral character ,
genercus and warm affections , and the cultivation cf those virtues , wkich as essentials of the Christian character , shall outlive the ravages of time , and qualify the seal fur ali the beatitudes of a coming eternity . " The works are got tip in an elegant style , and will form appropriate presents as tokens of affection and esteem . We wish them all th * success which their intrinsic T ^ ne merits .

HTXDDEI&SFXEZiD . —Cricket . —On Monday last a match at Cricket came off on the Dalton Ground , near Huddersfield , between the Heckmondwike Commercial and the Hnddersfield Britannia Clubs , for ten shillings a man . The following is a correct statement of the game . Heckmondwike went in firet , and scored twenty-five . Huddersfield next took the bat and scored fifty-one , when Heckmond wike again took the bat and scored fortyseven , leaving the Britannia twenty-one to get to win , which they did with nine wickets to fall . The day was cloudy yet favourable for the game . Only one event happened which tended to mar the pleasures of the day , and it was one of so aggravated a nature that to pass it over unnoticed would add to the crime . The front room of the White Hart
( belonging to Mr . G . Berry ) was occupied by the members of both clubs , to which it was understood no other persons could . have access . It further appears that many members of the Britannia had provided themselves with food for the day , and after the first inning's they repaired to the room to parcake of tho same , bnt on examining their pockets they found all gone . Who the hungry visitors were conld not be ascertained ; yet if none bnt players had access to the room , the conclusion is inevitable ; if , on the contrary , strangers were allowed , in the absence of any member or members , which was quite possible , then the proprietor of the house was highly culpable for such gross neglect . However , as ** experience makes fools wise" more precautionary measures will be taken in future . —From a Correspondent .

BTIiLTITGHAM , near Stockton-tjpo . n-T £ E 3 . — The inhabitants of this pleasant little village were thrown into a state of great confusion on Sunday evening last , by the Rev . Gibson , vicar of the parish , being suspended from an ash-trea in his own garden . The Rev Gentleman read the service , and preached a sermon , in the morning , but seemed at a loss how to proceed ; in short , it was the leading topic of conversation in the parish ' in the afternoon . He said to Eome of the inmates of his house , " I have taken-some pills , therefore , must go out . " This
was about ten o ' clock in the evening ; it , however , appeared clear enough afterwards that it was merely a pretence ; he had not taken any pills . His brothers , in conjunction with his mother and siBter , thonght he was longer than he need be in coming in , they , therefore , went into the garden , and to their surprise and sorrow found him as above stated , quite dead . The jury sat on Monday , and returned a verdict of Insanity . The doctors * say that the insanity has been produced by too deep and laborious study , he being a man of but weak intellect . — Correspondent .

Hail Storm . —A dreadful hail storm , accompanied by thunder and lightning , visited the neighbourhood of Egglestone , near Middleton-in-Teesdale , on Wednesday last . The electric fluid stnok the chimney of the turnpike-gate-honse , whioh it descended , and forced out two of the windows . Eight members of the family which inhabited it it were in the room at the time , all of whom escaped unhurt , except a little boy , who was knocked down and suffered a slight bruise on the face . A dog lying by the fire-side was killed on the spot . Our cosrespondent adds that enow , eight or ten inches thick , was lying at . the hedge sides at the above place yesterday . —Durham Chronicle .
Dover . —On Saturday last , a large anchor , weighing about nineteen or twenty cwt ., and supposed to be from a Dutch fonndry , was brought into Dover harbour . It was found four days before , about fifty miles from tbif place , in the German Ocean , opposite the North Foreland , but at some distance out at sea , by some fishermen , in whose nets it became entangled . Having obtained assistance from some other boats , they lashed a cable to it , and it was finally brought on shore . From its appearance at present , it is thought to have been sunk for a period little short of twenty years . It is , however , still in good preservation , the arms , which-are of wood , being apparently as eoandas when flrat cut . —Kentish Observer .
Singular OcctmRENCE . —A few days ago , as a person of the name of Charlesworth , of Darley Dale , was crossing the moors on his way to Chesterfield , he stopped to rest himself on a heap of stones by the road side , during whioh time ho chanced to oast his eyes on a viper or adder , within a few yards of his resting place , coiled up in folds upon the road . There being something , he imagined , rather singular in the manner of the reptile , he watched its movements for a few minutes . The traveler ' s curiosity had nearly proved of serious consequence , for the poisonous vermin , having partially raised itself , darted at him with all its force , though it luckily passed over his shoulder , with only slightly grazing his hat , and afterwards escaped into an adjoining plantation . The people of that district of the moors denominate these attacks made by the adders as " adder bolts . "—Doncaster Gazette .
Waterspouts . —Sundebland , Sept . 22 . —Yesterday several waterspouts were seen off this coast about ten or twelve mile 3 from the land . They assumed the appearance of inverted cones , and ultimately burst ; an immense body of water fell from each ; the lower parts totally disappeared , and the summits amalgamated into a cienEe * body resembling a thick cloud . Thunder storm . —This city was visited yesterday by a violent thunder-storm , whioh continued , with some intermission , for about two hours , beginning about half-past twelve o ' clock , and being accompanied throughout with a tremendous fall of rain
and hailstones . Several of the flashes were extremely vivid , and the thunder burst immediately over the city , and at no great distance from the surface . The electric fluid struck a chimney on Summer-hill , and slightly shattered its wail , but we have not heard of any serious injury inflicted by it . The rain fell with great force , and some of the hailstones were of enormous sizs . We trust that the floe weather which we have just passed was takes due advantage of for the business of the harvest , as the weather would now appear to be effecmally broken , and much damage must have been inflicted by the hail and rain of yesterday on any ripe and heavy corn exposed to its fury . —Dublin Freeman ' s Journal of Thursday .
American Packets . —Three American packets , the Cambridge , the Siddons , and the Monongahela , arrived at Liverpool ou Thursday . By all thpse vessels the number of emigrants returning to this country is very great . The Cambridge brought 200 steerage passengers ; the Siddons had 240 in the steerage and 34 in the cabin ; and the Monongahela had 100 in the steerage . The return of these persons , many of them in a state of great destitution , i 3 sufficiently indicative of the prosperity of the United States at the present moment , or rather the absence of it . The freights , from the same cause , are small in amount and low in price , the Cambridge having only brought £ 400 on freight , the Siddons £ 420 , and the Monongahela a still more trifling amount .
Death from Hydrophobia . —Yesterday ( Friday ) afternoon , an inquest was held at the New Bailey prison , before Mr . Hutier , tkecounty coroner , touching tho death of William Tankard , of Salford . From the evidence adduced , it appeared that the deceased was imprisoned for one month for the non-payment of the penalty and costs for an assault , of which he had been convicted before two magistrates at Heap . On Monday last , whilst washing his hands he was suddenly taken with a shaking and shivering . He was taken into the hospital , and attended by Mr . Barton Siott , surgeon of the prison , whom he informed that he had been bitten in the hand by a dog about six weeks ago . Mr . Stott ordered a basin of water to be brought , and he was convinced from the shock which the deceased experienced by
the sight of it , that he was affected with hydro phobia . Mr . Stott procured the assistance of Mr . Jordan , and they administered some emetics to the patient , cupped and blistered him , and used every means in their power to afford him some relief . They visited him frequently , and two of Mr . Stott ' pupils remained up with him all Wednesday night . During that night the patient was perfectly tranquil , and the paroxysms were slight , but he did not sleep at all . The medicines operated as the physicians wished j aud the patient continued in a composed state till about half-past three on Thursday afternoon , when he was sn ' zed with violent paroxysms . At four o ' clock he was visited by Dr . Hulme and Mr . Thorpe , Mr . Jordan having previously obtained permission of the magistrtes to call them in . Mr . Stott and
Mr . Jordan administered more medicine to the patient after which the attacks became less violent . At a quarter-past twelve o ' clock on Thursday night another severe fit came on , and he expired immedidiately afterwards . Daring Wednesday he took bread soaked in hot water , but could not take it in cold . He also drank ( though with great difficulty ) coffee from a teapot . During some of hia severe paroxysms it required six or eight men to hold him . He stated , before his death , that the dog that bit him had a chain and part of a rope about his neck . He appeared to have broken loose from his owner , and when the deceased attempted to lay hold of him . be bit him in the hand , a little above the second joint of the thumb . The dog barked afterwards at some children in running away from the deceased . Verdict , " Death from hydrophobia , produced by the bite of a dog . "—Manchester Guardian .
Serious Riot in Aibdrie . —On Thursday evening , a riot tcok place in Airdrie , which for a time threatened the most serious consequences . The military , it appears , were withdrawn from the town that forenoon , and during the day more bustle and excitement were observable in the streets than usual . No disturbance , however , was for a time apprehended , as the colliers in the neighbourhood had partly resumed work , and , as no disposition to outbreak had been manifested by the great body of them , still on strike , since shortly after the commencement of the dispute . Still no breach of tho peace had taken place , and all might have passed over quietly enough , but on the arrival of five prisoners in the afternoon , on their way to Hamilton gaol , in custody of a party of Sheriff ' s officers , who
had been apprehended at Ballochney for a breach of engagement with their employers , or accused ot intimidation—the story is told both ways—the excitement increased , and the shopkeepers , apprehensive of a riot , shut their shops . At this time a meeting of the idle colliers was being held at the Potteries , in the vicinity of Coatbridge ; numbers of them were likewise congregated in various parts of the town of Airdrie ; and it was , from circumstances which had been allowed to transpire , understood that the rescue of the prisoners had been resolved upon . "Upon the prisoners being brought to the town , application was made to have them lodged in one of the inns until they could be examined by the authorities , but this , it is eaid , the innkeeper refused , from fear of the mob destroyabout
ing his premises . About this time a band of 400 strange colliers , apparently from the east appeared in the streets , and the officers in charge of the prisoners immediately took them to a public-house adjoining the inn . After some consultation amongst the mob the result was , that a rescue was determined on , and accordingly the house where the prisoners were confined was attacked , and , as great resistance was offered , it was some time before an entrance was effected and the prisoners liberated . The door of the house was torn down , and all the glass in the windows broken . The premises were completely gutted , and the liquor , furniture , glass , &c , carried off or destroyed . Before this was accomplished the magistrates met opposite the place where the crowd—ultimately amounting to upwards
of 1 , 500—had collected , and read the Riot Act ; but as they had no military force at their command , they had just to look passively on during the time the disturbance was going forward , without being able to take a single effective step towards putting a stop to the lawless proceedings . Several shots , we are informed , were fired by persons in the crowd during the progress of the riot ; and before tho house was gutted , the Sheriff ' s officers repeatedly fared blank out of the windows to intimidate the riotous assemblage . To this , however , they paid no attention , but proceeded determinedly to effect their object . While this was going forward , the Magis-Police
trates sent expresses for aid to the Glasgow - office and to Sheriff Alison ; but before the Shenn , accompanied by Captain Miller , arrived , the rioters had dispersed and the town was quiet . The military did not arrive till yesterday morning . We are informed that the secretary of the Colliers' Association was apprehended in his own house late on Thursday night , and committed to gaol , but we have not heard upon what charge . The town was quiet yesterday . - Two of the policemen who assisted the officers in repelling the attacks of the mob were siightly wounded . The affair , we understand , is undergoing a xaost rigid investigation . —Glasgow Courier .

Paris . —It is said that there has not been for many years past so few EDglish residents in Paris as during the present summer . The hotel keepers complain bitterlj of the absence of their beat customers , and many of the shopkeepers have no cause for rejoicing . The improved facilities for travelling on the Continent cause tourists to explore Germany and the Rhine in preference to France , and the ' war fev ^ r ; ' caused by M . Thiers has not yet subsided Buinoiently to induce the English to make Paris their abode as of oJd . The absence of our countrymen is , however , in some degree supplied by the Russmna , of whom there are great numbers in the t rench capital . They are not , however , very popular with the Parisians , their habits and customs being so widely different to those of our gay neighbours . —London paper .
An Uninvited Dinner Party . —A Staffordshire gentleman , or rather his lady , had an unlooked for visit tho other day . When the dinner bell rang , some score or more of unemployed men responded to the call , and the master of the . house being from home his wire was afraid to dismiss her unexpected guests . Dinner was therefore served up to them , and consumed wjth an excellent appetite . On the following day , encouraged by their good cheer , they again " answered the bell . " taking with them a number of their friends , but the husband was now . at home , and sent them off without ceremony . —Gateshead Observer .
United States . —The New York packet-ship Cambridge has arrived and brought intelligence to the 1 st , one day later than that received last week . The papers contain a message from the President to the House of Representatives , whioh constitutes a protest against the report , of the Committee of thirteen on the late veto . Mr . Tyler says that he holds the Executive Government in trust for the people : he shows that , however unprecedented the mode in which he attained the chief office , it was in a perfectly regular course , and therefore he Bad not " usurped" any power ; and he maintains , that however unusual , his exercise of'ho veto was also performed in a regular manner , and in strict accordance with his sense of responsibility for the duties inirusted to him . He says , that had he been impeached before the Senate , ha would have met the accusation with firmness ; but he protests against the unfairness and " unconstitutionally" of Mr . Adams ' s report , adopted by the House . Congress was to re-assemble in three months .
A Female Sailor in Cardiff . —On Thursday week , just as the Lady Charlotte was about to sail from Cardiff , attention was drawn to a person in a sailor ' s dress , who wasexhibiiing money rather carelessly , and expressing great anxiety for the sailing of tho packet . Perkins , a constable , accosted him , aud on refusing to give any account of how he got the money , or where he came from , took him to the Station-house . Mr . Superintendent Stockdale , after asking a few questions , suspected the apparent sailor boy was a girl , and charged her with being soj which she resolutely denied . A woman was made to search her , and the young sailor turned out to be a pretty looking Welsh , girl . Finding disguise to ba useless , she gave an account of herself . Her assumed name as the sailor was Edward Williams , but her real one is Mary Davis . She is twenty years of age . She lived with her father , who is a decayed farmer ,
about nine miles from Merthyr , and between that place and Neath . Having a brother away from home , she determined to go in search of hiro . She had received a letter lately from him enclosing £ 5 , and it contained a request that she should come to him ; this letter she had lost , and so entirely had she forgotten her brother ' s address , that she did not know whether the letter came from America , Australia , or Ireland . Her purpose in the present instance was to go to Bristol , and from thence to America . She was taken every care of at the Station-house , and visited by the worthy mayor and the Rev . T . Stacey , who , after hearing her statements , were convinced she was of weak mind . She was directed to be sent to the Union House , until her friends could be communicated with , and her money was left in Mr . Stockdale ' s hands . She cannot speak a word of English . —Silurian .
A Cargo of Wild Beasts . —Early on Monday morning the powerful steamer Monarch arrived at her moorings off the Custom House , London , her decks being almost covered with cages containing an extensive collection of wild animals , a trans-shipment from Hull . Among them were a remarkably fine young lion from Zmzebar , a pair of striped hyaenas from India , a very beautiful pair of the Sasin antelopes from the borders of Persia , the horns of the male nearly two feet long , forming a perfect spiral , a most interesting specimen of the gnu antelope , from the Cape of Good Hope ,
called by the Dutch boors of South Africa the Baas or Master , from his great Btrength ; and one of the most , formidable of the monkey tribe ever brought to this country . The last animal stauds nearly four feet high , and appeared to be a distant relative of " Happy Jerry , " of departed memory . He inhabits the mountains of Arabia , and is the Derrias or Wood Baboon , known by the Arabs by the name of " Rebah , " or Child of the Sun . The whole of the cargo was landed at daylight , and forwarded in vans to their destined resting-place , after all their wanderings , at the Surrey Zoological Gardens .
Tinmeivs Strike . —A general strike for new prices , has taken place among tho tin-plate work ' tod in this town . We have not yet been able to make ourselves so fully sensible of the merits of the contending parties as we could have wished . It appears , however , that , in 1825 , there was a general strike , in consequence of which a list was drawn up and agreed to by the men and masters . Since that period many new articles , not included in the list , have been made , and , it is said , a considerable depression in the trade has existed . We are informed that , tbtre being no list price for these articles , some masters have paid for their manufacture at a higher rate than others , and all the workmen now claim the same price . Many of the masters do not consider themselves justified in signing the new list , and consequently , their men remain out . A similar strike exists to a considerable extent in Birmingham . — Staffordshire .
Exammer . Accident by Lightning . —During the severe thunder-storm on Thursday afternoon a serious accident occurred at the Great Weeton Cotton Works , St . Philip ' s , Bristol . At about twenty minutes before five o ' clock the electric fluid struck the meter-bouse , and completely destroyed the large gas meter , the erection of which had jtist been completed by the company at a cost ot £ 130 . The iron face of the meter was split in pieces , and the gas which was in the cylinder ( fortunately it was turned off at the main ) being ignited by the electric fluid exploded , and large pieces of iron , one of them weighing above lOOib ., were thrown with such
violence against a wall twenty-five feet distant as to produce considerable indentations in portions of the masonry . The meter-house is erected in front of the weaving-room , in whioh between 500 and 600 girls were at work at the time . The main gas-pipe , which is attached to the meter , passes through the wall , and descends beneath the floor of this room , and as a large portion of it was blown off it seems almost a miracle that no lives were lost . As might be expected , the utmost consternation was produced ; several of the girls fell fainting on the floor , others rushed to the door to escape from the factory , and all was contusion and alarm . We are happy to state , however , thai no one was hurt .
Unrolling of an Egvphan Mummy . —On Thursday a female mummy , presented to the Natural History Society of Shrewsbury by the late Dr . Butler , was unrolled in the presence of about two hundred highly respectable spectators , a great part of whom were ladies , it having been stated that there would be nothing whatever indelicate in the interesting operation . Mr . Birch , from the British Museum , superintended the unrolling of the mummy , previous to which he described the process of embalming among the Egyptians . The outer coffin in which the present remains were deposited announced that it contained the body of •* Tennor-en-Rhons , Pricsters of Amon , " who was " dedicated to Osiris , Presiding in the West , Lord of Abydos , that he would give Offerings for the sake of the deceased . ' The lecturer begun at the feet of the corpse to untie the linen bandages which enveloped it . These consisted of several hundred pieces , of the hue of washleather , but capitally woven cloth , and in some parts
not much discoloured , and pretty strong . On one of the pieces was an inscription stating its age to be twenty-one years . On unl&pprag the bandages round the neck , the head fell ' off , and was found quite perfect , several of the teeth in front being still fixed in their sockets , one of them loose . The carullages of the ears were perfect , the dried flesh having the semblance of dark gingerbread . The body wax disclosed with a vast deal more difficulty than the head , the embalmers having dipped it into the bitumen so long and so frequently as to destroy the flesh and render the skin and its " envelope one mass . Gradually , however , the toes appeared , all perfect , except the nails , the feet beiDg small and very attenuated . The muscles and the skin of the leg ? , and the cap of the knee next became visible , and the hands , crossed on the abdomen , were traced after great labour . The hipbones , the shoulders , and the ribs , were exposed one after another , till at last the fully developed frame of a human being , 3 , 000 years old , lay exposed to the gaze of the company Upwards of three hoars were occupied in the process .

Death of thb Marquis of Weilesle ^ . —This event took place at his Lordship ' s residence , Kingston-house , Brompton , between three and four o'clock on Monday morning . Early Rising . —In the will of the late Mr . Jas . Bryan , of the borough of Leicester , is the following singular clause : — " As my nephews are fond of indulging themselves in bed iu a morning , and as I wish them to prove to the satisfaction of my executors that they have got out of bed in the morning , and either employed themselves in business or taken exercise in the open air , from five till eight o'olock every moruing , from tho 5 tb . of April to the 10 th of
October , being three hours each day ; and from seven Mil nine o ' olock in the morning from tho 10 th of October to the 5 th of April , being two hours every morning ; this is to bo done for some years ; during the first seven years to the satisfaction ot my executors , who may excuse them iu case of illness , but the task must be made up when they are well : undif they will not do this , they shall not receive any share of . my property . Temperance makes the faculties clear , and exercise makes them vigorous . It is temperance and exercise united that can alone insure the fittest state for mental or bodily exertion . "
Tralee . —A fire broke out m Mr . Walpole ' s hotel on Wednesday night week , by which a gentleman stopping at thebxtel has suffered severe personal injury , Mr . Richard Walter Agar , solicitor , of Killamey , who arrived that evening . The family of the house had all retired to rest , and in the middlo of the night , between one and two o ' clock , Mr . Walpole was roused from sleep by loud screams . He at once jumped out of bed , and ran in the direction of the screams , which he found to proceed from the room occupied by Mr . Agar . The door being locked on the inside , Mr . Walpole burst it in , and by the force of the concussion knocked down Mr . Agar , who , it would appear , was unable , through fright , to unlock the door . Mr . Walpole found the bed , the curtains , the chairs , and all the furniture in the room enveloped in flames . Mr . Agar has suffered severe injury by the fire , his chest , faoe , arms , and hands being extensively burned , but there is no apprehension of fatal consequences ensuing .
The Blessings op Peel ' s Income Tax . —According to the Act of Parliament , strict secrecy is enjoined on the commissioners and subordinates appointed under this inquisitorial law . A striking illustration is afforded by the knowledge that the " West end" collectors are to be heard freely canvassing the returns of the " city" merchants , instancing that a we ' ll known firm have returned their profits as £ 60 , 000 a year ; two others at £ 40 , 000 ; aud several more at £ 30 , 000 ; also , that a highly influential body have stated their average
profits to bo upwards of half a million annually!—So much for secrecy . Another practical illustration is given , by the fact that an old and respected inhabitant of Pimlico has very recently broken up his establishment , dismissed his servants , and sold off his household furniture , alleging , as the sole reason , the cruel operation of Peei's odious mcome tax . His income ranges to nearly £ 200 per annum ; and he is now compelled to retire to furnished lodgings , with his family , and to debar himself of many comforts which he had previously enjoyed .
The Birmingham Railway Church . —A church , tho first of ths > kind in connexion with railways , is to be erected on a site of ground near the London and Birmingham Railway , for the religious instruction of the servants connected with the company and the neighbouring population round their central station at Wolverton . The proposition was first made at a general meeting of the shareholders in 1840 , when it was resolved to establish a Church of England chapel at Wolverton , so soon as the sum of £ 4 . 000 . required to erect it , should be raised . Within £ 300 of that amount has already been subscribed , including £ 1000 from the Railway
Company , with an annual endowment for the minister ; £ 2000 from the Radcliffe trustees , and sundry other sums . A temporary reading-room , capable of holding 200 persona , licensed by the Bishop of London , has been opened until such time as the church shall be erected , which it is expected will take place early in the spring . It is to be built in a plain , substantial style , and to contain 600 sittings . Thero is to be a burial ground , with a house for the residence of the Rev . George Wright ,. the minister , who has been appointed to offi ^ iatt as Chaplain . Mr . Glyn , the chairman of the railway , has presented the trustees with a handsome communion serrjee of plate .
Dreadful Death . —We regret to learn that an aggravated and fatal case of assault , if not a case of murder , took place in Calton of Glasgow on Wednesday last . It appears that on the duy in question two men , named Robert Campbell and William Smith in the employment of Mr . Neil , nailor , in Main-street , Calton , had had some difference or quarrel , when Campbell seized the red-hot rod of iron with which lie waa working , and by thrustiagit against the abdomen of Smith inflicted several severe wounds or burns . In consequence of this assault the unfortunate man died on Thursday afternoon . Campbell has been apprehended . —Caledonian Mercury .
Astronomical Clock . —After four years labour the repairs of the astronomical clook at Strasburgh are completed , and it will be set in motion oh the meeting of the Scientific Congress on the 28 th . In this curious piece of mechanism the revolutions of the sun , the moon , and the planets are marked down with scientific exactness . Seven figures represent the seven days in the week , each appearing on its turn on the day allotted to it . The four ages come forward to strike the quarters , and the skeleton Death strikes the hours . At noon the twelve Apostles advance in succession to bend down before the figure of our Saviour , who gives them the benediction . At the same moment a cock claps its wings and crows three times . It is said to be one of the most curious pieces of olock-work in Europe .
Destructive Flood at Aberystwith . —A few days ago this town was visited by a terific flood . At eleven o ' clock in tho forenoon , a noise was heard resembling that of distant thunder , and the inhabitants were soon apprized of the cause by a tremendous body of water rolling several feet above the wateis of the river Rhydol , carrying with it carts , wheelbarrows , forkB , rakes , and various implements of husbandry . Oa its reaching the harbour , the force was so powerful as to raise the shipping which were lying a-ground , and dash them on each other with such fury as to smash the masts , yards , and bowsprits of several of them to splinters ; others sunk to their anchors , and were nearly covered ; several boats were instantly dashed to the bottom and hurled to the ocean . The waters continued to increase for
upwards of two hours , stripping tho fields adjoining the bed of the river , of hay , wheat , oats , and barley ; and although the waters were increasing aud coming down , dashing and foaming headlong , yet the children in Trefeohan were to be seen up to their middles in the midst of the stream , endeavouring to catch the spoil borne on the bosom of the apparently infuriated element . The most singular circumstance connected with this phenomenon was , that although the wind was blowing west , with a tremendous heavy Bea , yet the waters of the river forced the ocean back to the apparent distance . of a mile , filling the bay extending from Graiglas point to the pier with fresh wafer , and for upwards of eight hours no amalgamation oi the fresh and briny elements took place , the bay remaining as free from salt'as if it had been a mountain lake . —Hereford paper .
Belper . —Death from Fighting . —We Lave this week to record the awful death of another victim sacrificed at the shrine of drunkenness and pugilism , who has been suddenly seni before his God , leading to penury an industrious wife and several children . The persons examined at the inquest were Martha Stone , J . Green , John Walker , Matthew Hunt , and John Spencer , who deposed to the following : —That on Saturday night last , George Mills , the deceauecl , and James Troth , were drinking together at the Maltsters' Arms , at the Gutter , Belper , with several others . Some angry words having passed between them , about half-past eleven o ' clock deceased got up and went towards his home ( which is at the Whitemoor Hall , near Belper ) , and when he had proceeded about 150 yards , James Troth came up and struck
at deceased , but hit one of the witnesses , Martha Stone , in the face ; he afterwards procured a stone , and , it was supposed , struck deceased with it , which caused a fight to ensue in a channel leading from a gutter to the Derby road , and afterwards in a field near that place , belonging to Mr . Litchfleld , called the Home Close . About thirty or forty rounds were fought , and the manner of fighting was this , James Troth for the most part butting with his head , at the same time using his fists , and always ( until the three last rounds ) having the rising ground . The deceased fell several times with the back part of his head on the ground . After the fight had continued about an hour deceased was butted down with great violence , and was taken up insensible . Means were resorted to to restore animation for more than
three hours , but to no purpose , and about four o ' clock he died . A post mortem examination of the body was made on Monday morning , by Mr . Erans , surgeon , of Bolper , and several ounces of coagulated blood were found upon the brain , and nearly a pint of blood in the back part of the head , which was stated to be the cause of death . Mr . Evans Btated that he believed the repeated knocks down the deceased met with enlarged and filled the bloodvessels of the head , until at last they burst , and insensibility and death would immediately ensue . The man being in a state of intoxication at the time materially facilitated the fatal event . After a rery
careful inquiry and patient investigation , a verdict of manslaughter was returned against James Troth as prinoip& !> and Edward Troth and Jeffery Jowett as seconds . Four others , named Samuel Parkin , John Robinson , Edward Ford , and Samuel Lander , were proved to have assisted , and will be prosecuted for trespass . George Mills , the deceased , was in general a hard-working man , and bore a good character , but being overtaken in liquor , he has paid his lite as a forfeit for bis indiscretion . The principal , James Troth , has absconded , and the other two were committed to Derby County Gaol , and will take their trial at the next March assizes . —Nottingham Review .

mum — ¦ ¦¦»« imiim laAinn .-rw . . ^ l .-.-.. , , 1 . ^ Z ; ± * L £ Z- ^ "j ' ~ . Jg ON THE PROPRIETY OF THE WORKING CLASSES JOINING THE CORN LaW REPEALERS ASA MEANS OF OBTAINING THE CHARTER . Mowbray . —ls this proceeding just and honourable ? Westmoreland . —la your assembly se * York . —Will you thus break faith ? Lancaster . —I pawned you none . Second Part , Henry IF . Sir , —When men have a groat object to attain , it is usual for them to endeavour to obtain that
object by whatever means present themselves ; and , although it may be more consonant with the better and higher feelings of humauitv to uso none but those which are strictly honourable , still , if tha parties with whom we have to do keep no measure of faith ; if they resort to anything or everything , no matter how tricky or base , to prevent us obtaining our just ends ; 1 think the cud would sanctify the means , even if we did return the contents of ' the poisoned chalice to their own lips , and hoist them from their unjust position by means of their o ^ m petard .
Such , I contend , is the situation of the working classes in regard to'the two great factions which , at present , rule over the destinies of this country . Let them disagree upon whatever else they may , they alwaysagreeupon the great point of insulting aid trampling upon that class which produces all the wealth in which they wallow . If the working ciasa attempt to reason with them , and tell them that God hss made all equal , ai , d that therefore they have a right to have a voice in the making the laws by Wiioh they are to be governed , one of the factions laugh in their face , tell them at once there is no right but' that of conquest , and , with all the modesty imaginable , point to the bullet and bayo > et as the tenure of their authority . If not satisfied
with this , they tell them that , at least , as they have produced all the food , they ha » e a right to what will keep body and soul together in sickness or in age ; the other faotion , more wily , but not less deadly , with all the canting hypocrisy of a Maworm , tells them that " Nature ' s table is full , " and that" none have a right to food but lh < se who have got patents for it ; " that " they must practice moral restraint f that "they must take care and not breed faster than capital has oocasioa for them ; " and that they will , by thoso means , pievent the ovter-8 tockihg of the labour market ; but that above all things they must " practice frugality , " and " accumulate as much in health as will maintain them in sickness or age ; " and that by those means
they will become independent labourers " and that when they have become more " educated , " and consequently more "intelligent , ' they will be fully corapetent to understand these sublime discoveries u £ political economy which prove that misappropriated machinery causes more labour , and consequently bettsr wages ; that taxes , although they take a third of his earnings , return in fructifying showers ; aud that a repeal of the corn laws would make a-cotiplete paradisa of this country . But let the work ' g class once appear to doubt these beautiful theories , and talk about having contronl over tho products of their own labour , this hypocritical faction point wi h evident gusto at the bullet and the bayonet , as the k ' jt reason in their politicnl economy .
Such being the situation of the working classes , and it being evident that the middle classes will not assist the working classes to obtain that voice iu tlia making of the laws which alone can permanently better their condition , until they , the middle classes , become alarmed for their own situation , I contend that it is the duty of the working classes to endeavour by all means within their power to bring about a consummation so devoutly to be wished . And I contend that one of the greatest of those means , which would make the middle classes alarmed for th < dr own situation , would be the repeal of the Corn Laws ; as it is their own pet measure—as they expect
from it to bavo prosperity for ages—as they hope by it to get their feat permanently upon our necks , and as it will ( I am as certain of it as I am that fire burns ) assuredly trundie them into' the streets—Jet us by all means assist them to obtain it . By thkfc course we should obtain one of two good things ; either the thing would be set at rest , or , which is more probable , ( as in my opinion the Repealers are not sincere ,- they , knowing too well what would be tho result , ) they would give up the agitation at once , terrified at their own prospect of success ; and thus we should put them to a test whioh would settle the matter either one way or the other .
But you will say how could the Chartist assist the Repealer ; or how could we advise them to it , seeing that both the Chartists and we hare repeatedlydenounced the agitation ! It is true that you both have denounced it when proposed as a measure which was to bring effectual relief . But I advise the Chartists to assist the Repealers as a measure which would either test the Repealers , or which would greatly add to the mass of" ruin and discontent . To the ruin of the manufacturers there is not the slightest doubt but it would add the ruin and discontent of the agriculturalists . Therofora , although you may be ' satisfied ,. that the repeal of tho Coru Laws-would completely fail as a remedy for our national difficulties , still that does not provenfc the Chartists assisting , or you from advising them to assist , the agitation , provided that you be convinced that it would either test one set of enemies , OR HARASS BOTH OF THEM .
But it will be said , that it would be unjust to the agriculturist to repeal the Corn Laws with the present amount of taxation . 1 prant that it would bo unjust , if the taxation was at all necessary to the security of the country , or if the present debt had been incurred for the service of the people . But what aro the facts ? For what , or how , was the debt contracted \ The only ostensible object for which it would be pretended to be contracted waa the protection of property . Thus it is decidedly
unjust to tax a whole community for the paying of that debt which was avowedly contracted for the benefit of a few . If foreign produce can be brought into the market at half the present price in England , that would cause prices here to fall to the Continental price ; that would cause the farmer to be unable to pay their present amount of rent , wages , and taxes , which would ruin the farmer , humble the aristocracy , and add vastly to the mass of discontem , and . consequently cause all to cry aloud for the Charter .
But I shall very probably be told here that the repeal would give such an impetus to trade that it would cause our capitalists and labourers to be content with their situation ; in short , as one of them said to the writer , " it would destroy all agitation tor the suffrage , by causing us to have prosperity for ages . " Never was idea more fallacious ! How could it cause an inorease in the consumption of manufactured articles \ It is easy to talk in loose and general terms in this way ; but will they tell us how it is to effect this 1 By causing the prices of all articles of consumption to fall , say fifty per cent ., it would cause the receivers of taxes to receive double the amount of goods which they now receive for the same nominal amount of taxes : but
how the deuco that is to be a benefit exceeds my comprehension . Bnt still this is not telling us bow this repeal is to cause an increase of the consumption of manufactured articles as a whole . This still tomaiiis to be provod . I shall be told , in loose terms , that there will be a vast quantity more corn imported , and that they will take pay in goods . This , eveD , is contrary to lact , however pretty iu theory ; for the Repealers themselves have complained tha ' . the cause of our difficulties has been that we had to pay ihe foreigners for their wheat in gold . But , however , I will admit the fact , that they would take pay in goodB , for the sake of coming fairly at the argument . Then how should tho Repeal cause us to want an extra quantity of corn 1 Suppose that we had been yearly receiving a million quarters to make up our
deficiency ; how would the Repeal cause us to want a greater quantity 1 But suppose that we import even two million quarters , O 1 what foreign trade it ¦ would create ; but should we not want one million less from tho home grower ? And suppose that we have been exchanging a yard of cloth for a bushel of wheat , and that we had been in the habit of givng one million yards of cloth for the one million bushels of wheat which we got from the home grower ; and suppose that , by way of " extending our commerce " we gut our million busheis of corn from thb foreigner , for which we give him the one million yards of cloth we had used to give to the home grower , how , pray , in this case , had we increased our commerce Ah ! the . whole thing is fallacious from begining to end . The thing would produce nothing but misery , and consequently discontent , as long as the present taxes remain .
But it will be said that we are ineousisterit ; that we are making a sacrifice of principles ; that we have pledged ourselves to " the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing but the Charter . " True , we have ; and I would stand to that pledge , name end all . But what then \ Are we bound to follow one course in order to redeem that pledge ! Can we make no bye-play ? Are wo to make no diversion in favour of our object ; or f . ven are we not to take advantage of diversions when rrade by other parlies ? bnt let
Let us not play such a foolUh part ; us rather take advantage of the mine themselves have sprung , and by it blow both factions at the moon . Then if they should commence an agitation again , let us push them on to tho obtaining of the measure , or compel them to recede , terrified at the prospect of their own success . But let us not give up our own agitation : let us persevere with that in order that we ' may form a public opinion to be always ready when the day of trial comts in order tbat ^ EflL-. ^ . may be able to take advantage of every ci ^ pujBJF ^ ipWjf ^ .. which offers in our favour . aB f ^ tSv ^ t ^ C N ¦*• If anything is said in answer to this ^ ftji $ 5 % anijk -. * ^ 5 ^ Q gument , &nd not abuse , •' ' i . fSRW ^ IwwKa GC * j m 5 v ^ ro /
