We have been favoured with No . 31 , of this day's dare , from which ws give the following extract : — " It was a mistake in the true knowledge of the people which cost the Whigs their characters anil power , and will deprive them of their places . It shall not be my fault if the Conservatives fall into the same snare . " Prrhsps 1 shall stagger yon and many of my readers with whai I am about to say . At all risks , I will speak the truth—truth -which , as I before said , 1 have not learned from books , but from experience , for which I am now , at your bidding , paying verj dearly .
" I LSTe Studied tie Working p&opU in their homes—In their workshops—in the factories—nsy , I hare followed them in their wanderings , to the hospitals , icfbnnaries , ale-houses , workhouses , and prisons . I fcave marked their miseries and their poverty—poverty , neglect , and want , in a Christian country , which is the reward of excessive industry !—and I have been astonished at their patience and forbearance , under oppression which would cTtn drive wise men msd I "I can bear testimony to their afftction for their Trives and children—their kind regard , and marjy , fearless , sacrifices for their neighbours , who are in greater want than themselves—their devoted attachment to those who rank higher than they do , and who show them any kindness—their considerate and touching beneroliEce to such , when reduced to povertytheir regard and affection to their employers who are Just , and kind , and sympathising—and their
forbearance to those -vrho most cruelly opprass and Eaaiiiefnliy defraud them—Ul ? ir love of ihtAi native spot , tie place where they first drew their first breath , and where ihej hui-e to dr&tr their j ' ast" —theirattachment to the cbctch round which the ashes of their fathers ilumbtr—and , where the clergyman is found at his ptst a faiiUul watchman of Israel , their devotion and KTererce towurCs him . In a word , their love of peace and order—their dislike of confusion and changetheir fondness for old local ^ imits , and tfeeir enmity to all ianoTatieiiS . Their attachment te the soil anO rura ] p r essures , are msniftst even in tfceir cellars and prrfcti ; there yen often find birds and plants—nay , eren in the fact-wit * 1 have seen flower-pots containing Taicaile plarte and splendid specimens of cucumbers ! " Sich , B ; r , are aBcngat Uie rulirg virtues of the working daitfcs of England , who are , in fact , as a body , a religions , affectionate , honest , industrious , patriotic , and loyal nee !
'' But , ' say their enemies , ' they arc ignorant . ' " Indeed : Is Bible knowledge ignorance ? Is the knowledge of the human heart ignorance ? Is eciumon sense ignorance !—Sir , the men -wbo charge the -wcii-Zzg Clafse £ of England with ignorance , oerer mixed with them—never knew them . If they had done so , they would not prove their own ignorance by asserting each f cl ] y . " I once thought that the working people were ignorant ; but , Sir , since then , 1 Lave sat under their taition , and I am the wiser for their lessons . I would tare their accusers to do the same , and , in tha achool of the l&bouren and operatives of England , to learn ? isdem .

BABhSXiB *? . —Sekious Accident . —On Saturday last , as Edward Bates was oiling a portion of the machinery at Messrs .

CARLISLE . —Late Election " Rows . "—An appeal was made in the Star of the 17 th instant , in behalf of two men who have been charged -with the murder of & policeman named Jardine . From all ¦ we can learn , the policeman was very indiscreet in striking in all directions , paying no regard to age hot sex ; having knocked down two little boys who could not get out of the -way ; and also felled down
a poor woman , and struck another with a child in her arms . "We question the right of Mr . Grahame , superintendent of the police fore * , to give his men orders to draw their staves and charge the people ; for though a few Etones were thrown , ho particular damage was done ; and if the crowd had been let alone they would have speedily dispersed . Compared with former elections , we can say , without fe&r of contradiction , that it was a very peaceable one . We regret extremely that the policeman should have have been killed ; bxit . we are confirmed in our opinion that the unfortunate circumstance arose out of his own forwardness and indiscretion . This unhappy result has , we have do doubt , been partially the means of causing several othera to be
arrested for breaking windows and interfering with the police , when in discharge of their duty . No less than seven or eight persons have been committed on . the above charges . In some cases the persons thus committed by the Borough Magistrates were prepared to prove an afibi , but the magistrates said they were determined to commit them , so that it was not material for them to do bo . We were grieved to see this predetermination on the part of the magistrates , for we always considered them as minor judges , placed on the bench to administer justice to all parties , according to the evidence . It must be considered a great hardship , when an innocent individual is committed to gaol even for a day , when ke is prepared to clear
himself by evidence of the most indisputable kind . The greatest praise is due to Mr . O'Connor , for his promptness in giving advice , and otherwise assisting the committee that has be « n formed , for the purpose of providing a good legal defence for these men charged wijh the murder of tha policeman ; to whom they could have no personal grudge , that we are aware of ; indeed we believe they scarcely knew him at all . The thanks of the committee are likewise due to Mr . George Julian Haruty , who has eo generously responded to their apppeal through the columns of the XoTtheni Scar , in hi * address to the democrats of the West Riding of Yorkshire . The assizes will commence on the 4 ih of August , so that subscriptions an ^ hi lo be sent in to Mr . James Arthur , bookseller , as speedily as pos = ib' . e .
ASHTOX-UNDER-LYITE . - The inhabitants of this town have so far resisted the levy of a church rate , as to cause a dead silence to come over the tower of the Parish Church . The clock has not moved a quarter of an hour , nenfcer has thera been on * single pesl rung on the bells for more than two months , which has been the cause cf ODe of the inhabitants composing the following satire : — A CONVERSATION BETWEEN JLSHTON CHURCH CLOCK AND ONE OP THE BELLS . One dark stormy night , as in pitiful plight , Through the cbuicbytaii \> i Aahton 1 passed ; I shelttr'd awhile , in a nook oi the pile , From the Kin -which fell heavy and fast Aud while I stood tliere , a noisa J did hear , Which majla me lock round me with dread ; Sat I Very soon found , that this -wonderful sound , Did proceed from the steeple o ' tihead .
Now you'll think that I lie , but 1 den't , no , not I , For as sure as there ' s water in wells , A discourse 1 did hear , which took piace I declare , Twist the church clock and odo of the bells . " Oh good lack a day ! " the clock it did say , ' ily heart : s both heavy and sad ; To think 1 should be , thus ill used , do ye see , Its enough to msie any clock nmd . " Ton know tiat from youth , I ' ve always told truth Ana it brings bitttr tears in my eyes , Thus idly to stand , witLou : moving my hand , And tell people nothing but lies .
" ~ For to each that comes- by , and lifts up his eye , Enquiring the time o the day ; Be it morning or noon , late at evening or Boon , 'A quarter past five'I still say . " " Thus though I ' m not to blame , I have lost my good mine , To redeem it I never can hope ! So now in despair , I will swing , I declare , If you'll on ' ij just lend me joar rope . "
[ " My rope ! Mrs . Clock , how my feelings you shock ! i Don't you know , that the very same cay That your ticking was stopp'd , my bell-rope was : CTt / pp'd , j And taken completely away . " j " But , though since that time I ' ve not uttered a chime , j Don't imagine I ' m down in the maw ; ; No , I'll let people ste , if they jut upon me , i That 1 do not care for tii ? in a straw . " * j - "And it grieves me to hear , you talking so queer , I About banging yourself ; Oh dear me ! ; Don't yourself m ^ ke away ; but fcsve pa tience I pray ; Why , they'd bring it in felo-de-se !" " And what if you do tell a story or two , ¦ And thus leave foiks sadly i ' th" lurch ; . ' Why should not the people be gull'd from the steeple , i As well as be gulled in the church ?"
i " O . it ' s sll rerj -well fur you , Jlr . Bell , j "Who thd travs ot the world dy not see ; ; And -who cever once lonfc , from your dark dismal nook , ¦ ¦ To talk alwut patience to me . ! " But could you descry all the folks that pass by , ; And hear ail their jibes and their sneers ; . Your fine pat ^ nce -woul ^ go very qnickly I know , | And you'd with you could ring—all their ears . " ! " WeH , well , my dear friend , I tlon't wish to offend / j Said the bell , in a kind , Boothing tone ; ; " But obliged I shall be , if you"ll tell unto me , 1 Why cnt of employment we ' re thrown . " ! " Why , you see , Sir , 'tis here ; the people 1 tear , ¦ Ala getting too -wise fur the Church ; i Fur plainly they say , no more cLurch-rates they'll pay , And thus we are left in the lurch . "
' , " tbe chnreb being poor , as it is to be sure , It cannot afford for to pay—; For winding ine up , and for pulling your rope , . On holidays merry and gay . '' ¦ ' Says the bell , " bnt egad , it looks rather too bad Tha * the church should neglec ' . its friends thus ; ; If such sums it cin i-pare , its own front to repair , ; Why not spare a triis for as ?" ! " Yes , " the dock did reply , " and I'd like to know why , ' Such expense has been squandered away , i In carving the shapes , of those curs'd ugly apes , \ Which the front of the ci : urcli doth display . '
" Tntre is one I can spy , appears winking his eye , ( On a church such things shonld not appear ; i He seems for to say , to alf passing this way , ' There is nothing but ganimon in here . " " " Xot ? at these things I'm vex'd , and sorely perplex'd , Xay , I'm almost o ' ervrbelm'd with my grief ; And tetween you and me , there's but one way I E&e , la which we can hope for relief . " " Tis here , should the Whigs , who have Ion r ; n their rigs , By the Tories be cn ^ ted , vrhy then The ehtirch-foJks woal < l be so well pleas'd dc JQ 3 es , They wouJd set us a jogging again .
Says the bell , " then I'll pray , that Sir Rol ert Peel I may i- - Very soon "—here I happen'd to cough—; Cries the clock , " 1 much fear , that a listener is near , " And thus the discourse was broke off j Xow tie wind ar . d the rain , had abated again , And as homewards I turn'd me away , ' I deterroin'd to tell what the clock and tlie bell While conversing together did say . Medical Institution . —The half-yearly meeting > of this society was held in the Large Room of Ihe
j Dispensary , on Monday evening last , at eight o ' clock , ! when Mr . G . Smith , tbe President , was called to the chair , who , in his opening address , enumerated ' the many difficulties they had had to encounter ; during the eighteen months the Board had been in ¦ existence . He also stated his desire of resigning ' his cfBce as President . He then called upon the ?

GLASGOW . —Geeat Peocession op Tbktotalebs . —A very large procession of persons acting on the principle of total abstinenoe , took place here on the 17 sh inst ., tire Saturday of Glasgow Fair week . Delegates having previously arrivedfrom the various societies connected with the Western Union which we believe takes in the whole of the West of Scotland , for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements . The various bodies T > egan to arrive bj ten oelock a . m ., in Glasgow Green , taking up their stations according to the numbers previously drawn by their respective delegates . The Irish Catholics , & very powerful body fell in in the rear of the Western Union . After the necessary
arrangements had been completed , tho Western Un : on began to leave the Green about half-past twelve o'clock , passing on through Bridgeton , Calton , and down the Gallowgate , Glasgow , where at a given point it took the Western Union , the Reohabitea , and the Catholics thirty-eight minutes to pass ; they were arranged from three to six deep ; they were well p npplied with bands of mosie , bagpipes , &c . while their splendid flags and other insignias glittered iu the sun . It was generally calculated that there could not be less than six or seven thousand in tbe line Of procession ; upon the whole it waaa splendid moral display .- [ This arrived last week after our Scotch papers had been worked off ]
HAWORTH . —On Saturday morning last , abottt eleven o ' clock , a man , professing to be a traveller for the firm of Messrs . Thomas Prickett and Son , Manchester , was driving in a gig from Keighley to Hebden Bridge , and while on his way between the Lees and Haworth Brow Side Bars , close to the residence of Mr . John Towneud , he began ( to evade paying the toll , it is supposed ) to whip his horse very unmercifully , by which he broke the whip-3 tock and caused the Beaton creature to gallop at a most furious rate . The wife of tbe toll-collector , whose name is Jonathan Speak , seeing the horse gallop at
an unusual speed , ran out of the house to save her child from harm and to take the toll . However , she had scarcely got out of the door before tbehorsa and gig were upon her , by which bba was Bevcvely wounded . Fortunately , the child escaped without injury . The man was thrown out of the gig a distance of six or seven yards , but did not receive much harm . The gig was broken by boing dashed against cne of the bar-posts , aud tbe post itself was almost torn up . After some slight repairs the man drove off without giving anything as a recompense to the injured party ; we hear , however , that it is likely he will be proceeded against .
BBASFOSS . —The last few weeks have been eventful ones in Bradford . The defeat of the Whigs at > the late election will be of important advantage to the progress of popular freedom . The very men who urged the magistrates to prosecute the Chartists , and indiced little " Finality" to establish a barracks in this peaceable district , have placarded the town , advising the people to resist tho law by refusing to pay church rates . It is gratifying to see the treacherous and despotic actions of the Whig faction recoil on their own heads .

A . n Excellent Advertisement . —The Presbytery of Isiagaia , ~ Sew York , have passed a formal reselution , declaring that Byron ' s works and Bulwer's noveb , " are book 3 of an infidel and licentious character . " There will be an immediate run for both . The Tobt Speakeb . — A correspondent of tbe Standard states that Sir Eardley Wilmot 13 to be the Speaker of the Tories . Colonel Sibthorp and Mr . Peter Borthwick are also talked of , and it is hard to eay whether the Colonel's manners or the Peter ' s character will render the o ^ e or the other the more eligible , and worthy to represent the dignity of the Tory House of Commons . Plough Ceep and Dbi . vk Shallow . —The President of the Northamptonshire Farming and Grsz ; P £ Society , on presenting a prize cup to a young man , thus addressed him : " Now , youu ^ man , take this cup , and remember always to plough d-jep aud drink shallow . "
An Old Soldier . —Some time ago , I informed you that an old man-of-wars-nian had been brutally used by cue of the Rural Police , dragged before the minions of tyranny , for whom , in other days , he had sbed his blood , and by them was , without Jaw or reason , tnrowa into a vile unhealthy gaol , for sixty day * . 1 have now io tell yoa of an old soldier naintd James Wilson , who is a relative of the glorious old patriot , Wilson , of Glasgow , wbo was handed like a dog for haviDg carried a flag at lionnjmuir , bearing the n-ords— " Scotland free or a desert . " James is nuw three fcore years of age ; be served eighteen years , received seven wounds in separate wholesale murder engagements , and , as the last of these wounds rendered him a cripple for life , he was graciously
discharged xcilhnut a pension , as another of " the worn out tools which tjrauts cast away ! " This old man was in Bristol at the time of a recent event in Wales , —that country which neither foreign nor British ioe 3 could Mibdue until it humbugged itself by selling its freedom and its glory for the contemptible mockery of having the King ' s son , God help it , called Prince of Wales . When Wilson heard that the standard of freedom was again to wave on the Welsh mountains , he resolved to join it , and , sectiug our , he declared that ho had fought too loug for tyranny , and would striko for liberty , and , at least , if he could not £ ght , he would " shoulder his crutch" and teach . Rapid events , however , protracted bis purpose , and h © returned to Scotland ,
where he wanders about like a ^ ocd angel , fanning [ he sacred spark of liberty in the rural districts , and subsisting on that charity which the industrious poor kindly give , but which the idle rich unfeelingly refuse . This old veteran and sterling patriot , while limping along the parish road of Kirkmichael , with his old wife , was rudely seized by a Rural Policeman . Wilson told what he had been and what he had suffered . " I don't ca-e a d n , " said the ruffian , " you must go the Justice of Peace . " Wilson submitted , and on they marched , the old woman , on a Eignal , leading the van , the rural in the centre , and the old soldier bringing up the rear : and on cooing
to the centre of a foot bridge , " halt ! " " wheel 1 " cried the veteran to hiB advanced guard , and , as a soldier ' s wife does , and as every good wife should do , she obeyed , and , on the instant , the old hero gave the pampered , fat rural a lurch , which sent him over , head foremost , into a pool , six feet deep , from which , like a half drowned rat , ho got out , and , after bawling for help , those who had privately Been , and others , at length came ; but as he was laughed at instead of receiving aid , he beat a retreat , leaving the old soldier and his wife in possession of the field , and he must have felt that the people , while they pity , shield , and support an old soldier , do mortally abhor a Rural Policeman . — Correspondent .
Alleged Denial of Relief to a Starving Man . —On Friday an inquiry was gone mto before Mr . Carter , at the John Bull , Tyers-street , Lambeth , respecting the death oi Ilobei-t Simpson Reynolds , aged forty-three , whose death , as currently reported , was caused , or at least accelerated , by the conduct of one of the parish officers . M . W . Green , 29 L , said he had known the deceased , and had often relieved him out of bis own pocket , because he knew he wanted food . On Monday morning , about half-past eleven o ' clock be saw the deceased in Granby-stree :, Waterloo road , and at the request of Mr . Barrett , the landlord of the Royal Oak , he went after him , and asked how it was ' he did not apply for admission to tbe workhouse . He
said he had beeu refused by Tether , one of the reJkv ; n £ officers . Witness asked him to go with him to the house , but he said he had been refused four times , and he would sooner die in the streets than apply again . Witness took him to Mr . Watchhorn in a cab , because he was ill , and that gentleman having supplied him with refreshment , an order was obtained for his admission to the workhojse , where wine and other nourishment was given him till Mr . Duke , the surgeon , arrived . Mr . Duke , the surgeon , said he attended th « deceased immediately , and found him in a dying state . He was very much attenuated . He appeared to be labouring under consumption , and every thing he desired was ordered to be supplied him . The jury here consulted ,
and said there must be a post-mortem examination of the body , but several of them objected to its being performed by Mr . Duke , as he was ihe parish surgeon . Mr . Watchhorn said that the parish officers had the greatest confidence in his ability . Mr . Duke said , he had given his evidence upon his oath , and he did not see , without some better reason being stated , that he should notmake the examination —he had no wish to screen any one . A juror said , that proper medical attention had not been paid . Mr . Duke rose , and was evidently affected alinost to tears . " i have , " said he , " done all I can foT the poor , and I think to charge me in this manner is most ungrateful . " Sarah Reynolds , the wife of the deceased , said , she was in service , and had not lived
with her husband for eight months , as he was unable to support her . He had no regular lodging , but used to sleep at a house in the Mint , in the Borough . She saw him on Saturday , and gave him one shilling , as he said he was hungry . She asked him why be did not go to the house , and he said he had been six or seven times , and Tether told him to go about his business . She gave him about three shillings a week . He had been ill for some time and spat blood . By the Jury—Thought he wanted food a long while . He used to pay fourpence a night for his lodging Other witnesses were then examined , who proved the state of destitution the man had been in , and that he told them that on Tuesday week he had
applied at tbe workboose , when Tether bullied him , and he would not go again . He was then very much agitated . Tether said , that bo far from having refused relief to the deceased , he met him some time ago , and , understanding that he lived in St . George ' s parish , told him to get a friendly order for Lambeth , and he would at once be admitted . The room was cleared , and ultimately the following verdict was returaed : — That the deceased died of disease of tbe lutigf , but at tie same time we are « f opinion bis death arosa in a great measure from destitution , and belie ** application was made for parochial relief by tlw deceased himself , al&ough we have no legal e > ^ vte pwfe the feot .

Singular Case ( very !) . — A correspondent at Rusland sends us the following remarkable statement : — A girl , aged fourteen years , living in the village of Rusland , of the name of Margaret Leece , lost a small gooseberry in at her ear . For a few dayB she complained of great pain in that ear ; but afterwards her parents heard no more of it until Monday morning last , when at breakfast she laughed heartiiy , and the berry came down at her nose . It was turned red , as if ripe . The writer can prove this by several witnesses who were there at the time . " —Kendal Mercury .
A Fair Convert . — " Well , " said her Majesty to the handsome Viscountess Jocelyn , " I wonder , my dear , you could ever venture to marry a Tory , as your uncle Melbourne used to toll me they were a horrible set of creatures V " I vow , " said the ci-devant bed-chamber lady , " that I had a horror of Tories until 1 married Jocolyn , and now I am so well satisfied with htm that I would not part with him for a score of Whigs . " " ' yo hear that }" said the sweet little lady , tnrning to Lady Elliot , the intended bride of Lord John Russell ; " I do begin to think , myself , that a young Tory must be preferable any day to an old Whig . " Lord Palmerston turned on his heel , quite petrified .

One John Messer , a seaman on board of the William Brown at the timo of her wreck , gives this account of the incidents in the small boat : — " Before leaving us the captain addressed tho baat ' s crew accordingly , desiring us to keep our hearts up , not to quarrel or fight amoii ^ ourselves , but to be advisod by the mate , and do what he should desire us . He then bid us Rood bye , and in fifteen minutes or so he waa out of sight . During the whole day the weather was extremely cold , and the eea very rough .

boat ' s head to sea , and to bnak the force of the waves . Towards nightfall the mate cousulted , in . a Jow voice , with several of tfiecrew about lightening the boat . I was afc at tho tinw , with my back against the stern . At last he Said to mo and another man who was near mo , ' Wol ] , I suppose you have no objection to lend us a hand to lighten the boat V I enquired how he intended to do so , and , while I was Bpeaking , I heard a splash alongside , and tho whole boat was in an uproar—tho work of death had commenced . Tho other man and myself both remonstrated against such cold-blooded proceedings , and said , * It' wo are to die , let us die fail * —let us cast lots . ' ' Very well , ' said tho mato , ' they will throw you overboard next . ' I then drew
my sheath-knife , and swore that whoever should lay a hand on me should share my fate . The mate then called a tall negro , one of the crew , aft , to toss mo overboard , but when ho saw my knife he went forward again , and lent the others a hand . My companion stuck close to me during this heart-rending scene , determined to defend himself to the last . One old man , a native of Ireland , when about to do seized , fell upon his knoea and entreated them to spare his lifr , and he would givo then all ho had . He then drew from his purse a numberof sovereigns and offered them to tho crew , but they were thrown aside , and himself passed overboard . A lad , about eighteen years of ago , requested time to * ay his prayers , which wasiiranted , and when ho concluded .
he said , * 1 am now prepared . I do not wish you to throw mo overboard—I will go myself ; ' and ho Stepped off the gunwale into tho sea . Of all who were thrown overboard , not one , to ray knowledge , succeeded in getting on board again . There were no hands cut off , nor any blood spilt ; neither did any one , excep ; the young man already mentioned , jump overboard voluntarily . The unfortunate passengers offered no resistance ; prayers and entreaties were all they used . * Oh , spare me ! sparo me !' several of them cried , even while they were half overboard . I will not attempt a description of this awful scene—it would melt a heart of stone . 1
believe there were sixteen thrown overboard . The boat was baled out after she had been lightened ;? ho then rode very well , and made but little water . The following morning I discovered a sail , and communicated the fact to the mate , who said , * By God , Jack , ynu ' re a lucky fellow ; you have saved your life' Tho ship that picked us up , as is already known , was the Crescent . So strong was my indfg nation against tho nrgro , that , upon reaching the Crescent ' s deck , I seized a heaver and threw it at his head . AU of the crew in the boat , excepting the mate and another man , were foreigners , ori as tailors Eay , Dutchmen , that is , belonging to the continent of Europe . "
Murder keak Wymondham , Noupoi-k . —The town of Wymondham has been thrown into the greatest excitement by the discovery of a murder , committed under circumstances of revolting barbarity , on Saturday last , by a young man named John Self , aged twenty , oh a , young girl only fifteen years of age . Tho girl , named Jemima Stimpson , had been for some timo previously persecuted by Szlf , and on Saturday last had been weeding corn in a Ueld near Wymondham . Not returning home as usual for the night , her parents and the whole neighbourhood became alarmed . A search was immediately made , and in the next field to that hi which the girl bad been at work , a place where a scuffle had apparently occurred was discovered , and
a trace across the corn to a pit in which the body of the deceased was found immersed . When taken out , and removed to the Windmill public-house , her face was found dreadfully cut . There was an unsightly gash across her chiu and eyes . Her throat was cut , andherno . se nearly severed from her face , besides various bruises on the head , inflicted by some blunt weapon . John Self , who had previously borne a good character , was immediately apprehended on suspicion , aud underwent an examination before Isaac Jeremy , and W . R , Cann , Esqr& ., at the House of Correction , who committed h < m for trial . A Coroner ' s Inquest on view of the body of tho deceased , was held on Monday last , before Edward Press , E ? q ., of Hingham , at the Windmill public-house , Wymondham , and an examination of a number of persons took place , from whoso evidence
it appeared that deceased had sent a lad to ascertain the hour on Saturday afternoon , who returned with the information that it was four o ' clock , the lasc time deceased was seen alive . Prisoner was seen going towards the field at that time . After he had been apprehended , a penknife stained with blood was found on his person , aud which was the property of the deceased . A spade was also found belonging to prisoner , stained with blood ; his clothes were also stained , besides other circumstances , which left little dqubt of his guilt . Tho inquest was adjourned until Tuesday , but in consequence of the prisoner having been removed to the Castle at Norwich , the Jury did not come to a verdict , not having had tho prisoner before them . The magistrates have refused to send the prisoner back to Wymondham , and the inquest is therefore adjourned to the Castle of Norwich .

Supposed Wreck of the President . —The latest aocounts from America bring intelligence of a steamboat wreck on tha coast . Tne brig Augusta , on her passage , when about nisety miles south of Cape Hatteras , at five a . m ., on tho 24 th inst ., saw what proved to be the wreck of a steam-boat , the middle part of the hull only was visible as it rose with the swell of the sea ; could clearly discover come part of the heavy machinery , such as crank , shaft , Sec ; part of the frame of one wheel and the timber of her guards , were oat of water , aud appeared as if a
boiler bad been thrown off ; could see no white streaks , and ehe had very much the appearance of having been onfiro ; saw no person , and therefore did not think it necessary to board the wreck . The citizens of Philadelphia and New York seem to think that this must be the wreck of the President , which must'have' been burnt at sea . The Dusseldorf Gazette , under tho date of Wesel , the 16 th instant , aRnounoes that tho wreck of a large vessel , believed to be the President , had been driven ashore on the coast of Norway .
Umted States . —The Philadelphia packet-ship , which sailed from New York on the 2 ud July , has arrived . The intelligence brought ; by her adds but littlo to that by the previous vessel . Mr . Clay ' s Bank Bill was being keenly debated in Senate , and so many amendments made , and so many more promised , that its original shape was almost wholly lost , and great doubt existed if it would ultimately pa : s . Another scheme for a national bank had been brought into the House of Representatives , and ordered to bo printed . The price of wheat had risen to such a height , that were it not for the duty considerable importations would take place . The crop was reported to be short , and in the western counties particularly the prospects were very unpromising . Tiie Stock Market was in a dull and depressed state .
The Poors' Rate . —Sample of Assistant Oversebrs' Practice . —A person named Ready has been endeavouring to do as much mischief as his official character vail allow among the humbler portion of the inhabitants of the parish of Hestou . Desirous of accomplishing some deed that should procure him a reputation for zeal and activity , this worthy employed himself in getting no less than sixty summonses for poor-rates aervod upon , and amongst , the most necessitous of the inhabitants . Some of the parties he had never before applied to for the rate ; others had tendered him half the amount demanded , being all their poverty could afford , and ho refused it ! Several were paupers , actually receiving alms to the extent of Is . 6 d . a week from the parish , and
a loaf of bread . Many of these persons were nearly eighty years of age , and one poar old man , turned of seventy , upon his appearance before the Bench , produced to the Magistrates a medal he had received from an Agricultural Society in the neighbourhood , for having worked on one farm forty years , and having brought up a large family without auy parochial assistance : the wife of tins poor fellow had offered Mr . Assistaat-oversccr 3 s ., onehalf of the rate , in part , which he refused to take . To the credit of humanity and common sense , the presiding magistrates , Dr . Walmesley and Mr .
Armstrong , excused moro than two-thirds of the parties summoned , an < i in every instance forgave the costs ! By this oppressive manoeuvre of Mr . Assistant-Overseer , the parish has beeu saddled with a charge of £ 7 for the costs _ of the summonses and service ; which , if the parishioners do their duty , will ba deducted from the £ 40 a year allowed Mr . Rrady for his readinesB to grind the faces of the poor . Never was one so acting m ^ ro completely beaten , and in addition to the mortification of defeat , he carried away with him tho hoartfolt curses of the poor he would have oppressed—no enviable acquisition , one would imagine , even for an overseer .
A Brute . —Thomas Kitt , of Lemon-street , Guildford-street , a man who is in tho habit of preaching in the open air , was charged , at Union Hall Police Office , on Saturday last , with assaulting his own daughter , a girl of fourteen years of age , under the following circuiasta ? ice 8 : — A policeman of the M division stated that between nine and ten o ' clock on the previous night , his attention was attracted on seeing the prisoner and a young girl sitting in one of the alcoves of the Soutawark Bridge , the man apparently with his hands under her clothes . On perceiving that he was watched , tho prisoner went i'ff the bridge , followed by the girl , and they went down tho steps leading to Bankside , and up a court through which there was no thoroughfare , and here
the same policeman distinctly observed the . prisoner in a most indecent situation with the girl , whereupon he took them both into custody , and when taken to the Station-house , the male prisoner said that the girl % vas his own daughter , which turned out to be the fact , on subsequent inquiries at his house . The girl , when at the Station-house , appeared to be evidently under the iiillaenci of liquor , and when questioned 6 he got into such violent hysterics , that it was found necessary to send for a medical gentleman to attend her . When brought before the magistrate , the girl was perfectly collected , and haying stated that the prisoner was her father , ehe said that she had been for some time past in a situation , and that she returned homo a few days ago . On the
preceding evening , her father told her that he would take her to a missionary meeting , and accordingly they Iei't home together ; but insiead of taking her thero , he took hor iufo a publjc-house , and made her drink ale until Ehe became giddy , and he then took her to the Southward Bridge . The girl here exhibited a strong disinclination to tell what happened to her there ; but , upon being urged to teli the truth , she then described the gross aud infamous behaviour of the prisoner ( her father ) towards her , which fully bore out the accuracy of the policeman ' s account of the transaction . Tho prisoner , a decentlooking man , declared that he only toother on the bridge Jor the pake of the air , as she complained of ] being unwell . Mr . Cottinghem— " What have you j to say to taking her to the public-house , and making
her drink , instead of to the missionary meeting 1 " The prisoner hesitated , and gave a vague reply , saying that ho admitted that he acted with great Volly , and that he drank some ale which disagreed with him . He added , that he had uo remembrance whatever of having conducted himself towards his daughter in the way attributed to him , and that thero must have been some mistake . Mr . Cottingham said that the policeman and his daughter had sworn to the fa , cts , and a more infamous case could scarcely come under tho cogniz-ince of a magistrate . The magistrate said , that owing to the prejudicial effect on 6 ociety at large the trial of such charges were calculated to have , he should , on that account , not commit the prisoner , but should hold him to bail to be of good behaviour , and to give twenty-four hours' notice of its sufficiency . The prisoner was locked up .
A Political Shaver . —William Nicholson , a barber , living in Globe-lane , Mile end , was charged attho Court of Excise , on Saturday , with selling gin and beer without a license . Mr . Bolton , the officer , stated that on Sunday morning , during the hours of divine service , he was passing defcudant ' 9 shop by more chance , when no entered to get shaved , and , to his utter astonishment , he found it crammed with coal-heavers , dustman , and others , all of whom were drinking and smoking . The defendant was seated on a table , reading aloud from a newspaper , but upon catching a glimpse at witness , he
stopped , and addressing him , said— " Welcome , brother politician , what is your business t" Witness having told him , the defendant immediately operated on his chin , and afterwards informed him that his charge for it was threepence , and he was at liberty , if he chose , to have a pipe of tobacco and a glass of gin , or a pint of porter , free of expence , at the same time inviting him to be seated . Witness availed himself of toe offer , and while there he drank and smoked , and paid a public-house price . He saw , at the lowest calculation , a gallon of gin consumed , and at least a barrel of beer . Defendant —" You eay you were charged a public-house
price ! " Witness— "I was . " Defendant— "How can you say that—I only charged you for shaving ?" Witness— " You first brought me a pint of beer and a pipe of tobacco , and took 3 d ., saying , ' Mind , this money has nothing to do with the cloud' and the ' heavy . ' I give you these , ' and when you brought me a glass of gin , and received of me 2 d ., you said , * Why , I am like a father to you . This tape ( gin ) I give you , and your shaving now amounts to 5 d . '" ( Roars of laughter ) Defendant ( delighted and profoundly)— " That , Gentlemen of this Honourable Court , was as it occurred , and now the willan wants to make it . out that I sold him the things . This , Gentlemen of the Juiy , will make me moro cautious of my good nature in future , I assure you . " ( Much laughter . ) Mr . Mayow— " Thero can be no doubt
of your guilt . " Defendant— " I am not guilty , upon my honour ! " ( Laying his hand on his left side . ) ( Loud laughter . ) Mr . Mayow— " Upon my honour , you will have much difficulty in persuading the Court of your innocer . ee . If you think you are to get a mob into your house , and supply them with cxciseable liquors , and charge for them mider the head ' uhaving , ' you are very much mistaken , " Defendant ( angrily)— "A mob , do you say ! A mob , indeed ! How dare you , Sir ! My company is respectable . We went to consider the best means of relieving oar brother sufferers from taxation . Where , Sir , I would ask , does the £ 150 , 000 come from that Sir Robert Peel has given as A dowager to bis daughter f * ( The bursts of laughter hero were
deafening . ) Mr . Mayow— " We want none of your politics here . Have you got any witnesses to disprove what the-witness has stated V Defendant" Witnesses ! no . He has only proved that I charged him Sd . fn sharing , and that he got every good accommodation . Do yon wish to fine me for that 1 " Mr . Mayow— " Ycur cunning won't do . The Court will fine you , and in the penalty of £ 100 , if you don ' t un > e something in mitigation . " Defendant— " Then all I can eay is , that there is neither law nor justice here . " The defendant ' s landlord here 6 tepped forward , and having satisfied the Bench that the defendant was not able t > pay a heavy sum , the Court adjudged him to pay £ 30 . Defendant ( walking out of Court , — If I pay a mag I ' m d—d . "

for whom he considered that ho held hi « vote ia trust , at the late election . He placed a board in bia window , on which was the following inscription : — " All persons residing in this street and the neighbouring courts , who have no votes , are requested to call and tell me whether I must vote for Uarnett or Brotherton at the coming © lection . " This notice brought a number of persons to his shop , all of whom * if bona fide non-electors of the streets and courts adjacent , were requested to sign their names , and to write opposite to them the name of the candidate of their choice . This " poll" was kept open until ten o ' clock on Thursday night , when the worthy elector put forth the following Btate of the poll : " —

EXCOVNIBR WITH A BOA-CoNSTRICTOE . —la the Surrey Zoological , Gardens are several serpents , amongst which is au enormous boa , measuring upwards of twenty feet in length , and weighing more than two hundred weight . Their food is put into the cage by a sliding panel , which one of the keepers
named Blackburn , was in the act of doing , when the enormous boa sprung at him and seized him by tbe arm . Themau leapt backwards , and drew the serpent partly out of the cage , which immediately spun him round like a windlass , and made one coil , llad ha effected another , Blackburn would have b « en inevitably killed . By pressing the throat of the powerful creature , and by more than usual strength , he was preserved . On beiug taken home he was found to be very much discoloured from the powerful pressure of his terrific antagonist .
The Census . —Manchester Township . —The following returns of the census for the town of Manchester iaclude tha townships of Chorlton-on-Medlock , Hulme , Ardwick , &c . ; and when it is considered that in some districts whole rows of houses have been pulled down , and their sites occupied by railways , &c , the increase , it will be seen , has bfen very great . The following account , however , must be taken only ¦ as an approximation , the nearest at present to be obtained , to the census oi this township : —Males , 78 , 983 ; females , 84 , 464 ; total , 163 . 447 . The classification of the above returns is
obiaiued from the five registrars' districts , which comprise the older , and better known fourteen police districts of the township . By referring to the official returns of the census of 1821 , and that of 1831 , taking thenoe the populations at those periods of the several police districts , included iu the above return , in one registrar ' s district , we obtain the following result : —1821 , ; i 03 , 0 I 6 ; 1831 , 142 , 026 ; 1841 , i 63 , 447 . Thus it will be seen that the total increase of the population of the township , during tho ten yeara ending in 1831 , was 34 , 010 , or about 31 £ pet cent . The increase during the last ten years , euding last month , was 21 , 421 , or little moro than 15 per cent .
