wer aakei ; and ai honest , faithful , and conristent am , tb « T we bound to come torward and render all the unstanee they eould » in order to prevent some of satartfi noblemen from starring . It was to them for wl" *» right * ttieyvrere suffering that they muctlook lofttppftr t . Tltey should reooire that awUt&OOe at thebhand * which would make them comfortable , and present tnem being under the degrading necessity of applying to the Board of Gnrdians for relief , and if they did not do what they could for their families , they "were not worthy of being called men , and consequently not worthy of such men to suffer for advocating their righto . After making these observations , he would proeeed - with the « ninect of bis lecture : —
The first principle in maa is equality . There la no < H « tiaetion between one man and another at birth , relative to his social right ; batman is the creature of education and dremastanoes . The second , as resulting from the first , ia seU-preserration . Man has to preserve kimself against the dimate , the wild beast , and from every < vther besetment which is calculated to give pain , < g render kirn miserable , or take away his life . Selfpreservation ! ¦ > therefore , one of the mott prominent features la cumao nature . It is essentially necessary that , ia order to protect the strongman from oppressing the wn& man , there should be hn established to securetfce right * of an , and to parent any one trampline apoa , or taking advantage of , any one ; bat that sach a government rtiould be established which would rrre
« roauty to the whole family of man . That would , in the true . seBse of the word , do justice to all . The first sodeiy tkat was established was not fixed npo n the principle that , while one man who should toil for a living should be in the condition to enjoy least , to sake ooe man Immensely rich at the expense of the other ; while one is starring , for the other to be rolling la splendour and luxury . No ; but it was founded on to secure the fruits of labour to all its members . If this , then , were the first principles by which mm was governed in his primitive state , how was It that ike Government , at this day , acted uponqnite different prindplea ? How is it that we are goTerned in aneh a strange manner f Why ; because the steong have taken
adrantage of the weak . The strong hare taken ad-Tfcntage , by depriving them of a Toice in the legislature of the country , and had completely destroyed and mutilated the right * of the people . If there is any society or form of goremment wherein eTery man ' s right is not weognised , he should do all in his power to Introduce a system of government No form of government can be founded upon right , which does not give qual rights to the whole human family . Whether » ao possesses more physical power or not , it is no reason whatever that he should possess more political power . Therefore it was that government was first established , that one man should not intrude upon the sights of another . But he would come nearer
oar own time ; lie could not do better than refer them to the mriUngB of Burke on tae French devolution , who -was answered ia a masterly manner by Thomas Paine . It is one of the greatest of all tenths , and of the highest advantage to cultivate , by considering man in this light , and by instructing him to consider himself in this light In places him in a t&ose connection with all Ms duties , whether to his Creator , or to the creation , of which he is a put , and it is only when hs forgets hia origin , or , to use a more favourable phrase , his birth and family , by that he beeomea dissolute . It is not among the least of the evils of the present existing Governments in all parts of Europe that man , considered as a man , is thrcnra back * o a vast distance from bis Maker , and the artificial
«» asma filled up by a succession of barriers or sort of ternpike gates , through which he has to pass . I will quote Mr . Burke ' s catalogue of barriers that he has set up between man and hi 3 Maker . Patting himself fa the ch&z&cter of s bersld , he says—'" We fear God —we look with awe to kings , witti affection to parliaments , with duty to magistrates , with reverence to priests , and with respect to the nobility . " The lecturer made some most excellent hits upon the latter part of this abstract Yes , Mr . Burke , continued the lectarer , may have most excellent reasons for saying , as he had , in reference to parliaments , kings , magistrates , priests , fcc ., because he was living upon tba good things « f this life . ( Hear , hear . ) But ¦ what has governments which have been established 100 years ago to do with
W at the present day ? The form of government , the same as eTEry thing else , should be improved to suit the present times . We ought , at any rate , to have the power to prevent the Government from doing us any barm . "Not , as Mr . Burke has Baid , that the " Lords , spiritual and temporal , and Commons , do , in the name f the people , most humbly and faithfully submit ttiemselves , their heirs , and posterities , for ever . Here was a sulgect of passive obedience for them , as though the people 100 years since had a right to make Mws , however despotic , which bind all posterity . Bmk « looked with awe to kings because he got large Kims of money by it ; therefore all such things as those were very good for Mr . Burke . We should at the wresent time respect them if they were of the people ' s
ehoice . What have the people to do with kings , magistrates , nobility , and all other locusts , besides working to TnainfaJTi them ? Indeed , if the people had the power ktiey would preTeat them from doing injustice to them , and would "very shortly remove the nobility from court , sad likewise the «*"" K"g army . What is the reason that we have to maintain such a standing army as this eountry is burthened with » Why , on this very principle—if my neighbour doe * me an injury , he -will BftturaBy expect me to do him an injury in return . Thp Government of this country are and have been doing thB people an injury ; henee they are compelled to have an army to enforce their Poor-laws , Baatiles , and many other iniquities , which the people and the aation are oppressed with at the present time . Be
would new bring them nearer the Charter . Every man sbould kave a c * py of the Charter in his possession ' —and stady it well—and make himself well acquainted with it—« o that when he heard the principles attacked be womM be able to defend them , and to instruct tb B minds « f the people on the political liberty of ti je oratey . Whit was the Charter ? What was t ^ bject of the Chartists ? Is it to take the mone { <* -the Tkh—to rob—to plusder—and to ca « se starchy and destruction ? The object of tike Charter is to ^ i ^ eqcfi&ty . What has it to do with the Cfcartist -what Ifceitarquis of "Waterf « r ^ ¦ dees Nrith Ilia -propf jty , » that he does not iajaae the ^ ablic -by it ?

The prisoner was dressed In deep monming ; she declared herself to be tweaty-four years of age . The husband of the prisoner was the owner of iron-works . In 1889 , he lost his first wife , and he sought a second , with , whom he might get money , to enable him to carry on his speculations . He applied to Mr .

We have long loved . Last year another woman deprived me of his heart . I thought I should have died . For despite I rewired to marry , and , ignorant of the mysteries of marriage , ao oepted your hand . I thought a kiss on my forehead would have contented you , and that you would have been to me as a father . Comprehend , then , what I have suffered these three days . I respect yon , but habits and character have put an abyss between us . Instead
of the sweet words of love , trivial kindness , bnrata of affection , nothing bnt those sensual feelings Which actuate you diagust me I Him tnat I love I saw at Orleans since our marriage . He has repented . He hid himself at Uwtehe . I shall be an adultreas despite of me . Let me depart Get me horses , disguise , I will hasten off to Smyrna .

The tnal continued through the 10 th and nth , but nothing of any great importance wai elicited , and a . letter from Tulle , of the 12 th instant ( Saturday ) at tine in the morning , says : —" There remains about a doaen witnesses to be heard , not including the Leotaud 1 and > icolai families , who , it is said , will not be called . > ] The trial will , it is thought , conclude on Tuesday " Ever since her arrest , Madame Laffarge has been 1 exposed t » the importunities of anonymous correspondents .

A New Orlrahs Papee says , that the Atlantis and Pacific Oceans will soon be connected by a ship canal across the Isthmus of Panama , which sow seems certain .

Assassinations in Fkance . —A letter from le Pay , in the c&utoa of St . Julian , bearing date the 5 th inst ., announces that on the 3 rd , as M . de Manellange , the proprietor of the estate of Chamblas , was s landing ia the kitchen of the chateau giving some order * to hia domestics , a shot was fired through the window , and the ball passing through his heart stretched him dead in an instant . This crime , which is attributed to secret vengeance , has spread terror throughout the entire district . The assassin has not yet been discovered . Shortly before , one of tho guards of ) the forest of Queyrieres , in the same canton , was assassinated under precisely similar circumstances . He was shot dead through a window of his house while eating his supper with his wife .
Notwithstanding the most active exertions , not the slightest trace of the asEassin has been found . The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 2 nd instant has the following : — "A horrible assassination took place in broad daylight on Thursday last , at the farm of Cran , within a It ague of Aubagne . The victim was M . Benifay , a landed proprietor , who , at the moment when he was passing a retired part of the farm , was fired at from a hedge close to his side . The weapon was charged with large shot ; Bonifay received the charge in his right breast , and fell dead on the spot . No cause can be assigned for thii deplorable event ; and in this , the third recent case of open assassination iu France , the most active exertions of the Gendarmerie have been unable to discover the slightest trace of the murderer , "

The charge was investigated , the officer acknowledged the offence , pleaded intoxication , and expressed his sorrow for what had occurred . The officer appointed to the command of the regiment during the absence of the colonel from Birmingham gave the accused a good character , and the magistrates were about to convict him in the penalty ol 20 a . and costs , when a gentleman present said a few words to the magistrate respecting the consequences of the infliction of a fine , when the farce ended by the administrator of justice informing the offioer tnat he was to pay tho
txpenses . On tho " gentleman" inquiring the amount of the " expenses , " he was informed 3 a . ! This sum was instantly paid , and the officer and his friends appeared highly delighted that the affair had been so easily settled . Here is an illustration of police justice !— " equal laws and equal justice " with a vengeance ! We have seen many deluded wretches who have been fined 403 ., 20 s ., 15 a ., and lUs . each and costs , for assaulting " policemen in the discharge of their duty , " and in default of payment sentenced to two months , one month , and twenty-one days' imprisonment—and we have invariably heard tbe magistrates exclaim , when passing sentence , " the police must and shall be protected . " But here a " gentleman "—an officer in the army—violently assaults a polioeman in the discharge of his duty—and he is quietly "desired , in a private room , not to do the like again , and merely ordered to pay the expenses—5 s .

Alabuing Accident at Guernset . —On Thursday afternoon , Captain Henry , Royal Navy , made an essay with a small iron gun , fifteen inches long , and one and & quarter bore , in the presence of Sir ames Gordon , Captaia Drew , and Captain Dixon , Royal Navy , and others , to fire off a line to the distance of 150 yards , opposite Truobot-house , on the principle of Captain Manby ' s gun . The first shot that was fired fell a little short of the distances , and the gun was loaded a second time , in order to make another experiment , and in the performance of the operation it burBt , and several largo pieces flow in various directions , andwounded three men , namely , William De La Rue , — Ketho , and John Martin ; the firrit-named was hit on his right temple , the Becond was struck a severe blow upon the legs , and Mr . Martin received a few slight cuts upon the face . It appears that every precaution had been taken by
Captain Henry to prevent accidents , but by some mismanagement the gun was fiied off before the line attached to the trigger could be extended for that purpose , so that those who were nearest to it were struck in the manner already stated . One of the pieces was driven by the force of the explosion nearly to the top of Mr . Joseph Manger ' s house , on on the opposite side of the Esplanade , although , it is said , the charge did not contain more than three ounces of gunpowder . It is ( a providential oircumstance that these men were not more' severely hart than they were , and especially De La Rue , who had » very narrow escape for his life . The gun in question was a new one . recently purchased by Captain Henry at the Royal Manufactory at Enfield , where it had been proved with six ounces of gunpowder , but ou examination after the explosion a considerable flaw was discovered in the metal , which perhaps accounts for its bursting .
Fanaticism in Scotland . —A correspondent of the Aberdeen Herald gives the following account of Bome fanatical proceedings to which lie was s > witness . This letter is dated Invergordon , September 9 : — " I had the curiosity to go to the church of Roakeen last night , to observe the workings of a revival . I was prepared for something extraordinary , but certainly not for what I saw . The sobs , groans , loud weeping , fainting , shrieking , mingled in the most wild and unearthly discordance with the harsh , cracked voice of the clergyman , who could only at intervals be heard above the general weeping and wailing . I was first struck by the cries being all from young voices , and , on examining a little more closely , I found that the performers were almost wholly children—girls varying from five to fourteen vears of age , a few young women , perhaps a dozen , but not a single man or lad . I stood for nearly
half an hour by three girls , the eldest about twelve yean of age , who were iu the most utter distress , each Tieing with the other in despairing cries . Their mother came to them , but made no exertion to check their burstB of—I don ' t know what to call it . In the churchyard there were lots of children in various stages of fainting . One poor girl seemed guite dead , and I insisted on one of the old crones , who-was piously looking on , to go for some water , or to attempt something to give her relief , but was iold , ' It was no' a case for water ; it was the Lord , and . he would do as he liked with her . She was « eeiog something we didna see , and hearing something we didna hear . She was lying en the ground supported by her father . Indeed , the poor ignorant parent&Jutve been worked upon until they believe they are . highly honoured by the Lord by having aioh sigBB . of the spirit manifested in their families .

The following cause has been given for the late fatal accident on the Eastern Counties Railway . One of the stokers , frightened at the velocity of the engine , put down the break upon the propelling wheel , without the knowledge of the engineer , or without putting off the steam from the piston ; this caused the engine to jump , and ultimately to jerk off the rails , and heace the tearful misoiuef that arose . —• Chtlnuford Chronicle .

pONCASTfIR MEETING , 1840 . Stewards : —The Bight Hon . the Earl of Searbrough , and Lord Viscount Kelbume , M . P . MONDAY , September 14 . This meeting commenced on Monday last , and although we had been led to expect that it would bave been the moat splendid that hat taken place for some years , we must confess that our anticipations iu this respect were not realised . The sudden withdrawal of
Crucifix from the St . Leger , would , no doubt , deter many from being at Doncaster who would have been present bad she ran for the Leger . The attendance of company , notwithstanding this drawback , was numerous , and on an average with that of former years ; and on Tuesday , the usual bustle and animation was to be seen , vehicles of all descriptions pouring into the town from an early hour in the morning . The weather on Monday was very fine , with the exception of a shower or two previous to the last race .
On Tuesday , the morning was fine ; in the afternoon it was cloudy , and a few drops only fell previous to the race for the St Leger . On Wednesday , the rain came down immediately after the second race , and continued during the afternoon ; but the attendance was more numerous than we have seen for some years . On Thursday , early in the morning , the rain carno down in torrents , and , no doubt , prevented the arrival of numbers from the country , who would otherwise have been present to have witnessed the contest for the cup ; it continued during the whole of the morning , until two o ' clock ; it then abated , and w » fair until after the running for the tureervear old stakes , when it again commenced , and continued till after the races were over . The attendance was , notwithstanding the unfavourable weather , numerous . Tue Fitzwilmam Stakes of 10 sov 8 each , with 30

The lot got off very well at the first attempt , Tho Squire taking the lead , Kedge , Satirist , and Belgrade being well up with him . The Squire went away with the lead , and maintained his position until the turn of the course , when Kedge came out from her horses , was never after caught , and -won very cleverly by a length and ft half , The Squire beating Belgrade for second place by a head . Satirist was fourth , and Simooin fifth . Kedge , the winner , is a very fine looking mare , and will , no doubt , from her superior running in this race , be a very goed favourite for the Oaks next year .

The most important and all engrossing event of the week was now to be decided , and very great was the interest excited to view the horses that came forward to contest for the prise . Eleven horses made their appearance at the starting-post , ( the jockies having previously received the usual address from Lord Kelburne ) and cantered two or three times past the Stand . The betting , previous to starting , was as follows : — 7 to 4 and 2 to 1 agst Laurioelot , ( taken ) 7 to 4 agst Gibraltar , 3 to 1 agsfr MarooH , ( taken ) 6 to 1 agst Calypso , 12 to 1 agst Trustee , 20 to 1 agst Dr . Caius , and 25 to 1 agst Broadwath . On going ofi " , the lot made » falie atari . Trustee and Launcelot being tbe only two that did not get off At the second attempt they went away In beautiful style , Polydoras taking the lead at only a moderate pate , Maroon , Launeelot ,
Calypso , Trustee , and Gibraltar , being close up , and the others at their heels . This order of running -was continued to the hill , where Polydorns found the speed ( although bad } too much for him , and gave way , the other horses leaving him some lengths behind . Launcelot now took up the running at an increased speed . Maroon and Cafepso being close up , and thus the three came on , Gibraltar , Mountain Sylph , and Broadwath b * ing close with 'them , and none of the others far behind , except Folydorus , who , further they went , was left further in . < the rear , up to the Red House ; still Launcelot continued the tunning , accompanied closely by Calypso , jMan > on , and Gibraltar , ( who was always in the front ataafcaof the horses throughout the race ) . np . to the CrosAJOnvel Road , beyond the Intack Harm , vsthete the four . vote joined by the Mountain

" The following resolution was unanimousl y carried"Resolved , that we , the members of the Barn 4 ey National Cnarter Association , A , do heartily concur in the resolution passed at the last West-Riding delegate meeting , calling such meetings on Sundays ,
seeing that some of the most talented of the working men are confined in the factories on a Monday , and are thereby prevented attending such delegate meeting ; and further , that it will enable each man to return to his constituents and report the proceedings on a Monday night . " A delegate was then appointed to attend the West-Riding council , at Dewsbury , on Sunday next . On Tuesday night , a meeting of the Cliff Bridge Association was held , when , alter having elected a treasurer and secretary , a councillor was appointed to act with the Baraaley and Dodworth Couucil . The National Charter Association met as usual , and some new members were added to the list . It is earnestly requested , that all the members ) will attend on next Monday night , as tickets of membership will be ready for delivery . This association still persists in not sending Sunday lecturers .
Inquest . —On Saturday last , an adjourned inquest from the Wednesday before , yras held ia Barruley Court House , before T . Badger , Esq ., on the body of Benjamin Kaye , aged 58 years . This poor man came by his death from a kick in the lower part of the abdomen . Mr . Badger scrutinized the evidence most closely , and animadverted on the discrepancies , thereof , and deelared that in the course of his experience , for twelve years past , he never knew 80 cruel a case . The jury returned the following verdict" That the deceased came to his death by a serious mortal wound on the bottom of his belly , but by whom inflicted , no satisfactory evidence nad been adduced to the jury . " We omitted to mention that we got Bnugly located within the precincts of the
court , ere Carnally , the constable , presumed to make it ( self-responsible ) a private on « . When the correspondent for the Leeds Mercury made his appearance , he was not admitted but through the kindness of a juryman , who intimated to the coroner that gentlemen of the press were excluded by this bum-bailiff . He indignautly replied , he always held open courts , and would continue to do bo , and that the press should have every facility from him . Dogs in office are very mischievous , auimala . Had he done bo by us , we would think it an imperative duty to whip the hound in his own kennel , and make him lie still until called upon to bark Home menial tune . We hope the members of the press will alsvaysj assert their rights and dignity .
