* The first act was the war with our American colonies , arising out of Tory restrictions on their trade ! The second act iras Hit coalition of the Whigs and Tories in 1793 , to prevent that Keform which w-oold hare prevented a "war that cost , perhaps , two thousand millions , and ended in a tax on food—which tax threatens to destroy our trade , and , ef course , to anarcbise the nation- The third act was the perpetration of that tat on food in 1815 , by which , and by » law , called Peel ' s ftfll , its authors secured their war prices in peace , and their paper prices in gold ; villanous advantages , which they hare followed np by depriving the poor of their privilege of out-door pay ! in the face of their own declaration , placed on eternal record , that they are
themselves the mest destructive horde of beggars and thieves that ever infested any community ; " For they eannot live without protection , " they declare ; and th-ix declaration must be either false or true : if it is true , ¦ why do not they go to the workhouse ? if it is false , why are they not sent to the tread-mill ? Ttis ominous fourth act is now dosing , with axolher coalition of Whigs and Tories to prevent all Reform . ' Even so was the French Revolntion produced by the obstinate refusal of the aristocracy to bear any share of the taxes , they having untaxed themselves ; and they ended , as ours will , by fighting with the executive for the remains of the public spoil . " HorriWy like , " Baid Hum the Fourth , of his father ' s portrait ! Shade of Toulon ! is it not ?
f Still there is hope that revolution may be avoided , if the workers will demand the franchise ; and they need only ask to have- Pitt perpetrated bis crimes , by discovering that a new power had arisen in Englandtfeat of the middle classes . If the workers obtain political power , they will not , like their betters , sell themselves for their own sixpence—or rather for t , bad one , instead of it ; but they may rest assured that they win soon find a minister to represent them in the counsels of the Crown : and that—thongh he and they may err—the majority can have no interest in doing ¦ wrong . " Wilt thon govern better than I ? " said a
deihrotifd Emperor of Constantinople to his successor " Could I govern worse ? " was the reply . S » y , Marquis , could the workers govern worse than thou ? The French aristocracy misgoverned France till they stopped the spade and the hammer . Here , yon MarquUes seem likely to stop the steam engine Itself . The French , after a time , fell back on a sufficient agriculture ; but here an excessive agricultural population , and a still larger TngTynfurtnwng one , will have to fall back on an agriculture insufficient to maintain either of them .

THE LIFE OF SAINT IGNATIUS , BISHOP OF ANT 10 CH . London , H . G . Clarke and Co ., 66 , Old Bailey . 1842 . This is the first number of a series of the lives of the early Christian fathers , and is intended to render vonng persons more familiar with the actions and sufferings of those parly witnesses for the truth . It is written in a popular Etyle , and vfe are happy to perceive thai the writer has , to a considerable extent , avoided exhibiting a party or sectarian spirit . There can be no doubt that some acquaintance with the personal history of those who first irradiated the gloom of pagan darkness bj the light and benevolence of primitive Christianity is most desirable for
those whose limited means preTent them from acquiring information from the voluminous works ( most of them in the dead languages ) in whichthe facts have been transmitted to us . Any judicioas attempt , therefore , to collect those facts into a concise and popular form must be hailed with pleasure j and in this little work , thongh it is not so faultless as could hare been desired , we recognise the commencement of such an attempt , and we cordially wish U success . To the members of Episcopal Charcbes , this little work cannot be but acceptable ; ment of
but it has equal claims to the encourage Christians of every name , who wish to impress npon the minds of the young the bii ^ bt examples of primitive piety . We hope that in succeeding liveB care will be taken to give a reference to the authorities from whence the facts stated are derived . 1 his is done in some cases in the life of Saint Ignatius , but in others it is not . This is a poins of vast importance , especially as the works are intended for the Bpecifcl instruction of the young . We advise that the lives should appear monthly , along "With the other periodicals of the day .

A match at Cricket for a small stake was played on Woodboiije moor , on Monday last , between the members of the Leeds Brunswick Club and Ibe Officers of the 82 nd regiment , now stationed in this town . The day was beautifully fine until about four o ' clock ; and the wickets having been pitched a » ten , the game was nearly concluded before the commencement of & very smart shower
, which , thongh It did not prevent the termination of the match , went far to mar the pleasures of the numerous company who had assembled , not only to witness the game , but to hear the beautiful strains of the splendid band of the regiment , which , by the orders of the gallant colonel , attended , and greatly enlivened the scene by their excellent performances . The play on the part ef the Brunswick Club was greatly admired ; they were evidently an evermatcb for their opponents The following score will show the result of the day ' s play : —

Total 132 6 IiEEDS . —Nosth Ward Meeiisg . —A meeting was held at the Harewood Arms , on Monday evening last , to nominate a candidate for the North Ward at the forthcoming election for Town Councillors . Mr . Thomas Brumfitt was called to the chair . A vote of thanks was proposed to the retiring Councillor , Mr . Watson , jun ., for his services to the North Ward Burgesses . This was opposed on the grouad that he had never rendered any services to the Burgesses , which , were beneficial to them either in a local or political point of view ; the proposition wa ? , of course , lost to the great disappointment of the Whigs . The next proposition was , that Mr . . William Hornby , tobacconist , be nominated as candidate on the first » f November . It was then requested by Mr . William Baron and others , that Mr . Hornby should be present , and give a statement of hi 3 political opinions , and also of his
views with respeot to the local affairs of the town , as this was a period which rendered such a step necessary to the bnrgesses , who ought to know the opinions of the men whom they were called upon to support before they gave a decision . An amendment was therefore proposed , " That the meeting adjourn to Tuesday , September 27 th , at eight o ' clock in the -evening , and that Mr . Hornby be in the interim communicated with , requesting his attendence at the adjourned meeting , for the purpose above named . " The amendment was carried by an overwhelming majority . Burgesses of the North Ward I attend the next meetiDg ! Shew to the factions that you are determined to have a man that will advocate your rights in the conncil , and contend for & reduction of the abominable and extravagant expenditure of the public money , and a reduction of the police force . This is an important crisis ! therefore let every burgess be there , and rally round a man of their own choice .
NEWCASTLE . Dabixg Robbkbt by a Policeman . —On Thnrsday morning last , the house of Mr . Wheatley , Blue Bell Inn , Quay-side , was entered by John Nelson , a policeman , and as he supposed they were all asleep , he went direct to the till , and was in the act of emptying its contents into his pockets , when the noise which he made with the coppers was heard up stairs , and when Mr . Wheatley came down stair 3 he caught him in the act . He was immediately taken into custody , and after examination by the magistrates , was committed to take his trial at the next assizes .

The Ahkrican Diver—Smith , the diver , took another leap from Snnderland bridge , on Moaday , the 19 th instant , amidst a vast crowd of spectators , but it nearly cost him his life . The height is upwards of 110 feet , but he darted into the water without fear , and afterwards rose apparently in a very feeble and exhausted condition . On being brought ashore he was seized with convulsions , when it was found necessary to bleed him . At first the blood flowed slowly , and was as black as treacle , shewing the . great congestion which had taken place in the lungs , together with the gorged state of the heart and blood-vessela . He suffered some time from nervous exbanslion . but ultimately rallied . '
The " Przss Gang . "— The Sheffield Independent is in extacies with Mr . Vincent's lectures—1 hey form in event in the political history of Sheffield . It is the first time since the commencement of the Universal Suffrage Movement which dateB from 1838 , that the subject has been brought before the public under favourable auspices , and in a rational manner . But while praising thi 3 new light of Complete Suffrage , and urging a union of the middle and working classes upon the basis laid down by Mr . Vincent , the Editor ( no doubt unintentionally ) let ' s the cat out of the bag—( Hear him . ) " There must , then , be a an ion , complete and cordial , of the middle and working classes ; but it is plain that the working classes will not join that union , except upon one fundamental
condition , and that is the acknowledgement and advocacy of their claim to the elective franchise . On this ba&iB , there may be a union , a living , hearty , powerful union , which may be made effective , not only to attain the franchise , bnt if that be delayed , to accomplish many other political objects in the meantime . " Here is a projected nnion of the foxes and geese with a vengeance ; Cackle away ye dupes of Complete humbug , ye'll find out your folly in due time . The proposed union may be made effective for the obtainment of the franchise ; bnt , "don't you wish you may get it ! " " but if that be delayed other political objects may be
accomplished jd the meantime . V \ hat political objects Of course tot Corn Law Repeal , for over and over again we have been told that is not a political object ; but to come to plain sailing , in sober seriousness let us ask what is the meaning of the above Is there any other meaning than this , that while the basis of the projected union of the middle and working c lasses is to be the acknowledgment on the part of the former , of the justice of the claim of the latter to the elective franchise , that that union is to be worked for the accomplishment of other political object ? , to wit , Corn Law Repeal and Vote by Ballot ! We reiterate what we have often
before asserted , our conviction that the Complete Suffrage movement was started for the purpose of dividing the popular partv , and using the people ' s power for the obtainment of " other objtctB" than the " six points" of the Charter . Honest men there may be in the ranks of the Complete Suffragists , but there are too many schemers associated with them for us to have much faith in their political integrity . The Scottish Regalia . —On her Majesty's visit to Edinburgh Castle , the crown , sceptre . Ice ., were removed to an apartment above , where the light was stronger , in order to be more conveniently inspected by her Majesty and the Prince . His Royal Highness , however , not content with this view , requested
to be shewn the room where the regalia was discovered , about twenty-two years since , in an old oaken chest , covered nearly a foot deep with dust , and which now forms an interesting historical event . Prince Albert expressed himself highly gratified by thi 3 visit , and remarked that he thought it would have been more satisfactory to her Majesty to have seen these relics in the apartment where they are generally exhibited . Her Majesty , we understand , expressed her admiration of the workmanship of the sceptre , and observed to some of her suite that this comparatively advanced state of art at such a remote period was to be accounted for by the intimate alliance subsisting between Scotland and France . — Caledonian Mercury .
Police Outbage . —Government Investigation . — An investivation , held by order of Government , took place in Limerick on Wednesday , for the purpose of inquiring into the conduct of two policemen stationed at Ballycahane , near the post town of Croom . The inquiry was instituted on the memorial of a respectable farmer , a Mr . Carmody , of Aahford . The facts of the case may be gathered from the following Btatement given by the Limerick Reporter , from which it would appear that the pwnks of these well-paid fuBCtionaries are plajed off with equal grace at both sides of the Channel : —•* The memorial set forth the
facts which Mr . Carmody complained of , the gross , the indecent , the revolting outrage perpetrated in his hoase , to which those policemen went , vrhmt under the influence of intoxicating drink—where they forced themselves into the bedroom of Air . Carmody ' s daughter , ontside which they fired rounds of ammunition , and where they acted in such a way —in a way connected with all the circumstances of thiB case , as to prove that the discipline of the force is lax and irregular—that the people can have no confidence in it ; and that a Radical reformation is loudly called for ia every ramification of the service .

All in the Dark . —During the performance of divine service at St . Helen's Church , in this city , on Sunday evening last , Eome graceless urchin bad the audacity to enter the doorway from the street , and crept unheard to the spot where the gas meter of the church is deposited ; having suddenly tarnedoff the gas , and lefc the minister and congregation in total darkness , he hastily decamped , andbydiat of hard running , avoided detection . — Worcester Chronicle . Cideb and PEHBT . —These delightful beverages ( says a . Newent correspondent ) will be extremely cheap next month . Good Perry then will be sold at Ledbury at 25 s . for the hogshead of 100 gallons . A large farmer at Dymock , near Ledbury , has engaged to deliver 2 , 000 gallons of ewellent cider at Abergavenny , by the first week in November at 6 d . per gallon .

The Wesleyan Conference , whose sittings have jus !; terminated , hare decided upon allowing their ministers stationed in Scotland to wear the " gown " in their public services . There is a growing desire among the congregations in England that a similar resolution may be adopted for thisoountry . —Sunderland Times . Touching Liars —Truth has become so scarce a commodity now- a-days , that one hardly considers a man a liar , provided he lie ? for hia own advantage ; for I verily believe that some men have a kind of preference for a lie—that they would avoid tolling the truth if possible , even though it suited them best . First and foremost of thia highly respectable class are book-keepers at stage-coach or paoket-effioes ; after them come horse-dealers , et hoc genus omne . — Three Months' Leave .
Expeditious Travelling . —The steam-ship Antwerpen , Cap ' . ain Jackson , left Antwerp on Wednesday afternoon last at a quarter past one o'clock ; she got up to St . Katharine ' s Wharf , Tower , before nine o ' clock an Thursday morning , and in sufficient time for a merchant of Liverpool to leave London for that place by the ten o'clock train , so as to reach Liverpool the same evening ; " thus , " to use the gentleman's own words in writing after his arrival , " accomplishing the distance of 440 miles in 30 hours . "
A River Dried Up . —The heats of the summer have so dried up the waters of the river Elbe , that the watermills are all at a stand ; and near Pirna the iher is entirely dry . The waters , ia retiring , havo given up a secret kept up by them for more than two hundred years . A square stone is left bare , having the following significant inscription in Saxton patois : — " When last men saw me , in August , 1 G 29 , they wept ; and they who see me next shall weep too . " Incendiarism at Stston . —We regret to state , that a stack of baTley , belonging to Mr . M . Sheffield
of Syston , was discovered to bo on fire there , on Tuesday morning la&t , and that there is but too much reason to consider that it was wilfully and maliciously occasioned . Indeed , we leara that the person in custody , John Bellamy , has admitted the fact . He was fully committed for trial on Wednesday , by Mr . Heyrick . We are credibly informed , that the prisoner has stated that he was prompted to the deed by feelings of revenge , as he asserts that a son of the owner of the stack maintained an illicit intercourse with his wife , under the roof , and with the connivance of her own father and mother . —Leicester Journal .
Pencarrow . —This seat of Sir William Molesworth , Bart ., has recently undergone considerable improvement . A piece of ground has been prepared , in whioh is planted a very interesting collection of New Zealand plants lately sent home by the brother of the worthy Baronet . From the present appearance of the foliage , there Beema to be many new plants among them ; and there ia reason to « xpect that they will be of great benefit to our shrubberies and ornamental plantations . —Cornwall Advertizer .
Mr . R . Hill . —We have been informed that the individual to whom the country is indebted for the inestimable advantages of the cheap postage , has just been dismissed from his situation by the Govern ment . Mr . Rowland Hill is no longer to have even a share in the working of hia own plan . This announcement beiug in accordance with an intimation made in Parliament towards the close of the session , may not occasion much surprise ; but we are greatly mistaken if it does not excite throughout the country feelings of regret and indignation . The proceeding is one so discreditable to the Government , that we can hardly understand how it should have been sanctioned , as it must have been , by Sir Robert Peel . —Morning Chronicle .
A sang of pickpockets is now frequenting the different markets and fairs in this county , who carry out their designs on their neighbours' pockets by means of neatly dressed boys , whose apparent innocence disarmB all suspicion of their being thieves . In our last , we noticed the apprehension and committal of one of these lads , at Lincoln , as a reputed thief ; iast week another of them was taken at Gainsborough , who was recognised by the governor of the Kirion Lindsey gaol aB an old acquaintance , having had him in custody for picking pockets at Brige . —Boston Herald .
Pickled Eggs . —An industrious farmer ' s wife , residing at Shipton , near Andover , among a variety of other pickles which she annually introduces into her store-room , preserves pickled eggs . The process she uses in curing them is very simple . When she has a large stock of eggs on hand she boils some six or seven dozen till they become hard . She then divests them of the shell , and puts them into large jars , pouring upon them scalding vinegar , saturated with ginger , garlic , whole pepper , and allspice . This pickie is an admirable aid to cold meat , And is , in the winter months , regarded as a perfeot farmhouse luxury . — ( From a Hampshire Correspondent ) A Natural Protector . —The following acknowledgment appears as an advertisement in th& Limerick Chronicle . Mr . Monsoll doeB the thing well . Here is a permanent abatement made which will make his tenants " comfortable during their lives . " Mr . Monsell is a Tory : —

Alleged Suicide and Suspicious Death op a Jew . —During the whole of Friday a good deal of excitement prevailed among the Jews in Petticoatlane , Bell-lane , and their vicinity , occasioned by the death of Hyam Hyams , one of" their people , " who , it was alleged , had committed suicide , and who was discovered dead in his bed at two o ' clock on Friday morning . It is stated that on Wednesday last , being the day of atonement , and a day of strict abstinence , as well as a holiday among the Jews , the deceased attended Synagogue with hia family . After leaving his place ot worship , he proceeded to the neighbourhood of Old Ford , where it is said he had some bread , meat , and beer , and having beeu seen by two perFons of his own persuasion , enjoying
his repast , he was much jeered about it by a number of persons who were made acquaintod with his transgression . This circumstance , it is said , preyed much upon him , and on Friday morning hi 3 wife found him dead by her side . She gave an alarm , when police constable H 181 , entered the house , 5 , Bell-lane , and found close to the bed a handkerchief , with a noose in it , and the medical man calied in has given it as his decided opinion that death has been produced by strangulation ; the wife declares her husband was quite dead when she discovered him , and knew nothing of the means by which her husband destroyed himself . An inquest was held on the body on Saturday , when the Jury returned a verdiot of " Temporary insanity . "
Eetubned Ehigbaots . —We noticed ( says a Liverpool paper ) some weeks ago , that large numbers of people who had emigrated to the United States had returned in the ships from New York . They continue to arrive in considerable numbers . The greatest number brought by one ship , up to last week , were 250 by the Hottingeur ; but on Tuesday night , the packet Bhip New York arrived with upwards of 300 , many of whom would have starved from want of provisions , had not Captain Cropper humanely supplied the poor creatures out of the ship's stores . Amongst the passengers were a lot ot British sailors , who had been some years in the American Navy , which they left , they say , lest , if hostilites should break out between Great Britain and the United States , they might be brought into deadly conflict with their own
countrymen . The Shipping Interest . —We hear loud complaints of the depression which this interest , in common with the other great interests connected with trade , is now suffering . Freights from foreign ports , besides being scarce , are lower than they have ever been known before ; while at home freights are not only low , but cargoes with difficulty made up . So Bcarce indeed is employment for shipping , even at rates which wiil Bcareelv pav freisht and charges .
that the number of ships laid up in Liverpool alone is beyond all past experience . In most of the docks there are unemployed vessels and vessels on sale ; but the Brunswiok dock , large as it is , has , if not two-thirds , certainly more than half of its space occupied by ships of large tonnage with brooms , the sign of being on Bale , at their mast-heads . The west side is wholly filled with tiers of vessels on sale , and on tbe adjoining quay all traffio has ceased . We have heard it mentioned , that one firm alone has from 10 , 000 to 12 , 000 tons of shipping thus laid up . — Liverpool Albion .

Steam Boilers . —JameB O'Connor , the American , in a memorial to Congress , on the Bubject of steam boilers , says that a steam boiler cannot be heated up to 308 ° without producing certain and inevitable explosion .
Temperance Harvestmen . —Mr . Andrews , of Dunmow , has just finished his harvest , having twenty men in his employ who did not diink a glass of beer or any other intoxicating liquor during the time of their engagement . The men appear to have suffered but little from fatiguo or the lato sultry weather : the whole of their labour was performed with a universal friendly feeling towards each other , and a bad word was not heard to escape their h ' ps . Mr . Andrews gave each man about Is . per day extra ia lieu of beer ; their drink was chiefly coffee and tea , but their favourite beverage was mint tea . —Chelmsford Chronicle .
Oschatz , Sept . 8—A third part of this town , in which there are the largest aud finest buildings , a 9 well as the part inhabited by most of our woollen cloth manufacturers , is reduced to ashes , together with the Senate-house and other public edifioes .

Posen , Aug . 30 . —According to private letters from Kalisck , changes aro about to take place favourable to tho inhab itants of the kingdom of Poland . The Emperor , it is said , has issued an ukase , which directs that iu Warsaw , and propakly in all Poland , tho Polish language shall bo again used as the channel of instruction In the schools , and that 12 , 000 Polish troops ehall be organised and commanded by Polish officers ( except tho staff officer ? , who are to be Russians ) . It is believed that the Poles will be indebted for this change , if it should take place , to tb . 6 visit of the King of Prussia to St . Petersburg .
A Letter from Dresden of the 8 th of September , in the Prussian State Gazette , says , " The fire in the forest on the frontiers of Saxony and Bohemia , is said not to be yet extinguished , but to continue its ravages in the forest of Prince CJesy , towards Tets ^ chen . Tho remarkable circumstance has been observed thero , that the fire continues to burn uuder ground , wholly destroying the roots , so that the trees which appear to be uninjured , suddenly fall down . — Hamburgh Papers ^ 13 th Sept . Singular Circumstance . —Oa Wednesday last a sale of wines , &c , took place at the Custom-house , Shoreham . Amongst tho articles sold was the hull
of Lo Marie Aloxandre . It may be remembered that . this ill-fated vessel was wrecked last January , having been abandoned by the crew , who were never heard of . When towed into Shoreham harbonr it was found to be laden with brandy and mustard seed . The vessel on Wednesday was recognised by an old English captain , as one that he was compelled to abandon 5 n the Bay of Biscay . It was then engaged in the London wine trade , and on that occasion drifted over to the French coa ' -t , was repaired , and registered in France . The English ereyv were saved , but it may now be considered certain that tho Frenchmen all met a watery grave . The hull fetched only £ 27 .
Discovery of the Bodies of Two Infants . — Thursday evening , about seven o ' clock as Thomas Jones , a waterman , was perambulating the causeway near Whitehall-stairs , he observed a large box , which the tide had washed agaiust the wall . Having secured the box , he convoyed it on shore , when to his infinite surprise he discovered that its contents were those of the bodies of two infants—one a male , the other a female , each wrapped in a pieco of coarse linen . He lost no time in giving ; information to the police , and the box with its contents were conveyed to St . Margaret ' s workhouse , where they at present remain . The bodies were this morning examined , but , from their state of decomposition , it was impossible to ascertain with any degree of certainty whether the infants were still-born or were born alive , and had been unfairly dealt with .
Duty on Rum . —Last Friday night's Gazette contains an order in Council , fixing the duty upon rum from Madras according to the following schedule : —For every gallon of rum . of any strength not exceeding the strength of proof of Sikes ' s hydrometer , and so in proportion for any greater or less strength than the strength of proof , and for every greater or less quantity than a gallon , being the produce of the territories subject to tho government of the Presidency of Fort Saint George , in Madras , not being sweetened or mixed with any article so that the degree of strength thereof cannot be exactly ascertained by such hydrometer , nine shillings and fourpence . For every gallon ef rum shrub , however sweetened , the produce of , and imported from , such territories , and so iu proportion for any greater or less quantity than a gallon , nine shillings and fourpence .

India Rubber Pavement . —Who would have thought of paving our streets , stables and passages with India rubber \ Yet such a thing seems to be expected ; for we find in a monthly periodical the notice of a plan for so doing . The price will be about the same as the best aspbalte pavement . It is so elastic that it will not fracture with the heaviest blow , whioh property prevents its wearing away . It can be altered , repaired , or relaid , at a small expense , as the old material can be taken back and reworked . We have understood that many persons of high rank have ordered that their stables bo laid down with the caoutchouc pavement ; the advantage of which , to the feet of horses , must immediately sugge&t itself . —Journal ef Commerce .
Important to Circulating Libraries and Book Clubs . —These establishments aro placed in a very serious position by the 17 th seolion of tho New Copyright Act ( 5 aud 6 Victoria , c . 45 ) It is well known that most of them have for years been in the habit of obtaining and letting out to hire foreign editions of English works , infinitely to the prejudice of English authors and publishers , vrho are now , however , most amply protected by the act in question . The mere "having them in their possession for sale or hire" exposes them to the penalty of £ 10 for evory such effence , together with double the value of every such copy of the work . This very
stringent provision is no more than has long been called for , and threatens those who disregad it with almost immediate tuin . It is not only by the lending out such pirated copies , but tho mere having them in their possession for such purposes , that this penalty is incurred . There are many libraries , especially in the country , that keep almost exclusively such cheap and foreign editions ; but we trust that this prompt intimation of the consequences of such acts will enable them to avoid the ruinous visits of tho informer—for those gentry are , no doubt , on the alert . The penalty is to be divided between ' the informer and the author . — Verbwn
Sap . Discovery on Sablk Island . —The Halifax papers of last week publish the following singular discovery : — "The following facts have been made known to us by a gentleman of this city , who has had his information from the best authority—viz .. Captain Darby , sen . Governor ( as ho is called ) of Sable Island . For the last twenty-five or thirty years there has been a large mound or pyramid of sand , about 100 feet high , on the island , and not very far from the residence of Captain Darby . The winds for some years have been gradually diminishing its height , and after a severe blow some weeks since it was completely blown away , and singular to say , a number of small houses , built of the timbers
and planks of a vessel , were quite visible . On examination they were found to contain a number oi articles of furniture and stores , put up iu boxes , which were marked * 43 rd Regiment : ' the boxes or cases were perfectly rotten , and would not admit of their being removed . A bras 3 dog-collar was , however , discovered by Captain Darby , with the name of' Major Elliot , 43 rd Regiment , ' on it , and which Captain Darby brought to the city , and presented to Major Tryon , who belongs to the 43 rd Regiment . " —Halifax Herald . Captain Darby has endorsed this extraordinary announcement . Addresing the editor of the Halifax Herald , on Wednesday he says , " The houses are appearing at the base of the hill , about two miles long , and sixty or seventy feet high , lying parallel with the south coast of the island , the eastern end of which bill is about
fiftyfive feet high , covered with grass and other vegetation , above thirty-five feet below the surface , and twenty-three above the level of the sea ; these houses appear as the sands wear away with the action of the winds . There appeared at times numerous bullets of lead , a great number of military shoes , parts of bales of blankets and cloths , brass points of sword scabbards , beeswax , a small glaES convex on both sides , a copper half penny of George II ., dated 1749 , some military brass buckles , a great number of brass paper-pins , a very small dog ' s brass Jcollar , with ' Major Elliot , 43 rd Regiment / numerous bones , some whole and some broken , with the scalp of hair and head dress of a young female , a piece of gold band . There are three buildings , whioh seem to have been constructed of the fragments of some ship : they are situate about ten feet apart , in a triangular form , and are ten to twelve feet square . "

On Wednesday , as some workmen were constructing a drain at the White Ladies , the residence of Captain Thomas , in this city , they discovered the bones of a full-grown person enclosed in some stones arranged in a coffin-like form , and placed east and west . Close to it were also the bones ol a child . Lower down were also several pieces of tesselated tiles , and , still lower , several Roman and Greek coins , one of Julian being in fine preservation . The place where these were found is in a direct line with the Grand Stand and the centre of Britannia-square , both of which had been long since ascertained to have been the sites of Roman buildings . — Worcester Herald .
Secrecy under the Income Tax . —The blessings of this tax are now beginning to descend on the devoted heads of a too-confiding public . The filling up of the schedules has caused an annoyance second only to that of making the payments , aud curses both loud and deep are veDted on Sir Robert Peel . On the very first day that the returns vere made in this town , the contents of the sohehules were known , and were the subject of qommon conversation I—Devizes Independent . Extraordinary Specimen of Weaving . — - We have recently had an opportunity of inspecting what we believe to bo the most extraordinary specimen of the textile art that has yet beon seen in this country , produced at the works of Me 3 srs . James and Abraham Meyer and Co . of Branenburg , near
Berlin . It contains a medallion portrait of the late King of Prussia , supported by four emblematio female figures , repressing Wisdom , Power , Justice , and Mercy , and also a copy of the will of that monarch , and of his well-known addross to his son and successor . Tho produce of the Prussian loom , however , appears to us greatly superior in delicacy of execution to the French ; and some of the figures , with their draperies , aro equal in effect to the finest productions 01 ' the engraver . We understand it is probable that this beautiful and unique specimen , which still belongs to the manufacturers , would , on proper application , bo presented by them to any public institution in Manchester , where it could be publicly seen ; and we are quite sure that there is no institution to whioh it would not do credit . —Manchester Guardian .
The late Riots at Manchester . —On Thursday a special session was held at the New Bailey , before Mr . Maude , Mr . J . H . Wanklyn , and Mr . Elias Chadwick , to decide upon the claims made by certain mill-owners in the borough of Manchester , against the treasurer of the hundreds , for damage done to thoir mills during the late riot 9 . There were four claimant ? , but as tho only question was as to the legal responsibility of the hundred to make good the damage done by the rioters within the borough , only one case , that of Mr . Beckton , of the firm of Messrs . Stirling and Beckton , Lower Mosley-street , was gone into . Mr . Charlewood , in support of the claim , called witnesses , who detailed the circumstances attending the attacks upon Mr .
Beokton ' s house on the 9 th , 10 : h , and 11 th of August , and estimated the damage at £ 23 . Mr . Rutter , as treasurer of the hundred , opposed tho claim on two grounds—firtt , he contended that the damage done was not within the meaning of the Act 7 and 8 Geirgo IV ., under which the claim was made , inasmuch as the object of the rioters was shown to bo merely to turn out the hands ; whereas it had been decided , in the case of " Rex v . Thomas , " that there must be an evident intention on the purt of the mob to demolish the property , or , as tho act expressed it , " a beginning to puli down ; " and secondly , he argued , that since the establishment of a valid corporation , the borough of Manchester , by the 12 ih section of the Municipal Act , was exempt
from county rates , aud if the magistrates made an order upon the treasurer of the county , he had no power to reimburse himself by a rate upon the borough ; the claim , therefore , ought to be made upon tho borough , and not upon the county or the hundred . Mr . Gorst also argued , 011 the same side , that the borough only was liable . Mr . Hamilton , for the claimant , cited the act 7 and 8 George IV ., cap . 31 , sec . 12 , to show the liability of the hundred ; but the Court , through Mr . Maude , decided that the hundred was not longer liable to make compensation for damage done by rioters within the borough , in * w > much as the borough was exempt from the payment of county rate , except for special purposes named in the Muni ipal Act , such as the prosecution of felons at the assizas . —Manchester Chronicle .
The Q ( £ een and the Laird of Ballengeich . — When her Majesty visited Stirling Castle on Tuesday , tho Governor , Sir Archibald Christie , directed the Queen's attention to an old chair which was placed on the top of the flight of steps leading to his house , which bad attached to it , printed upon a piece of white satin , the following : — " The identical chair on which James V . sat , when the following circumstance , narrated in the Statistical Account happened : —Being once benighted when out a hunting , and separated from his attendants , he happened to enter a cottage in the midst of a moor , at the foot of the Ochil hills , near Alloa , where , unknown he was kindly received . In ordor to regale their unexpected guest thegudeman ( 1 . e . landlord , farmer )
desired ihe gudewite to fetch the hen that roosted nearest the cook , which is always the plumpest , for the stranger's supper . The ki ng , highly pleased with his night's lodging and hospitablo entertainment , told mine host at partiug , that he should be glad to return his civility , and requested that the first timo he came to Stirling he would call at the castle and inquire for the ' Gudeman of Ballengeich . ' Donaldeon , the landlord , did not fail to call on the" Gude-/ nan of Ballengeich , ' whoa his astonishment at finding that the king had been his guest afforded no small amusement to the merry monarch and his courtiers , and to carry on tho pleasantry he was henceforth designated by James with the title of the King of the Moors , which name and designation h » ve descended from father to ^ on ever since , and they havo continued in possession of the identical spot , the property of Mr . Erskui ( now Earl ) of Mar
till very lately . " ( The last King of the Moors , John Donaldson , died at Ballochleam , in Stirling , shire , 28 years a ^ o , aged ninety-three . He would not allow the chair to be tossed , or even moved , affirming that whilo he lived no barm should come to it . Her Majesty smiled to Sir Archibald , and bore off the printed cloth . The chair above-mentioned was brought to Stirling by Mr . Hamilton of tho Falkirk noddy . It belongs to his wife ' s relatives at Denny . She herself is ^ rand-daughter of the la&t King of the Moors ; aud their anxious wish was that Her Majesty should have placed herself in it . This she did not do ; but to gratify all parties she touched it , and carried off the anecdote as narrated . We may here notice , as a coincidence , that tho printed piece of satin was bound round by Her Majesty ' s embroideress fer Scotland , Mrs . Wright , of Edinburgh . —Stirling Observer .
An Awkward Mistake . —Arrest op the Ex-Duke of Brunswick , on Suspicion of being One of the Swell Mob . —Most of our readers aro aware of the extensive robbery committed at Preston on Monday so ' nuight , during the celebration of the guild , by a party of accomplished swindlers , who succeeded in introducing themselves to Mr . J . Marquis , of Accrington , and easing him of his pocketbook , containing £ 1 . 900 in Bank of England notes and one hundred sovereigns . In the evening of tho Thursday following a dashingly-attired foreigner entered one of the hotels iu that town and called for a pint of wine , tendering a £ 5 Bank of England note in payment . The waiter having heard a description of the person by whom the robbery of Mr . Marquis
had been effected , fancied that the personal appearance of the strange guest tallied with that of one of the parties implicated in the theft ; and this supposition was converted into almost absolute certainty when the former withdrew from his puree a note of the identioal bank whose promissory obligations constituted the bulk of the Btolen property . Fired with the supposed discovery , he communicated his suspicions to the proprietor of the hotel , who concurred in the probability of the supposition , aud despatched a messenger in quest of a policeman , who was ushered into the room where the supposed " conveyancer " was luxuriously reclining on au ottoman , and bumming snatches of an opera tune , when his privacy was thus rudely disturbed . The constable , without
ceremony , marched up to the sofa , grasped his occupant by the collar , and after stating the nature of the charge against him , blandly desired the favour ol his company to the station-house . Words aro wanting to describe the mingled air of rage and astonishment with which the " strange gentlemen "received this intimation and its accompanying infringement of personal liberty . For Borne moments he seemed deprived of utterance , but at length his tongue returned its office , when in terms of indignation and disdain , he haughtily repelled the charge , declaring himself no less a personage than the Duke of Brunswiok . This avowal , however , was disregarded by the policeman and his abettors , who considered it a mere attifico resorted to in the hope of overawing
them ; and m epite of h \ 3 earnest protest agamst such a proceeding , dragged him to the police-office , a distance of from four to five hundred yards , a crowd of persons following , attracted by tbe rumoured detection of one of the scoundrels , by whom Mr . Marquis has been plundered . On arriving there the stranger reiterated his former declaration , and in proof of his assertions , referred to the owner of the mansion where he had taken up his stay , and also to several distinguished individuals whom he named . On inquiry this statement proved correct , and his Serene Highness , after being literally overwhelmed with apologies and protestations of regret for the blander which had placed him in so awkward
a predicament , took his departure , accompanied by Baron Andrau , his equerry , who reached the stationhouse at the moment of his royal master ' s liberation . The dethroned prince , we understand , has since received froai Samuel Horrocks , Esq . * the worthy mayor of Preston , a most handsome apology for the unintentional affront , with which his Highness has expressed himself satisfied , and thus ends the matter . The festival of the guild exhibited many sights worthy of special commemoration ; but the spectacle of a deposed ruler , allied to the most illustrious reigning families of Europe , being dragged to a police-offico on a charge of pocket-picking , is , we may safely assert , without parallel . —Lancaster Guardian .

BORXING OP A NATIOJfiL ScHOOL-HOPSB . —ThO Belfast Vindicator , contaius the following , from which it appears that the denunciations against the " National Board " have not been wholly unavailing : — "A national school housewasbnrned in Culaleeky in the ' eourse of the last month . The Commissioners consented to continue to the master the salary , provided he could procure any house in whioh the children might be accommodated . The owner of a honse which was promised to the master for this purpose , received a threatening letter , informing him that his tenement would suffer the same fate . The outrage
was investigated at the Ballymena Petty Sessions on the 29 ch and 30 th of August , but nothing tangible could be elicited beyond the deposition of a witness , that the threatening notice was written in tbe hano of a certain person . In the course of the examination of witnesses it appeared that in that district ; a strong party prejudice prevailed against the National Board , as being identified with * Popery . ' This ia passing strange , as the patron of the school is a minister of that communion . The Government have offered a reward or' £ 20 for the apprehension of the offender ? . "
A very simple method has beon adopted for stopping the illegal taking of Salmon in the Waterford Haven , by the River Suir Preservation Society , viz .. by serving notices on the steim-boat proprietors , that the penalty of £ 2 per fish would be levied , if the ; carried salmon , amounting to 431 b per box .

Immediately afterward ;} the vehiclo was driven off ; and a by-stander going up 4 o
the old man , put the significant question to him , "What's he given the «? " "Nothing , " was the ready reply . The other , however , assured him he had seen something fall into ths basket , and on its being again opened , to their surprise a sovereign was found among the humble wares . The carriage driving away , the old man lifted up his arms and uttered blessings on bis unknown benefactor , and the gathering knot of people to enquire into the " why and the wherefore thereof , " altogether afforded tlie elements of a picture worthy of a first-rate pencil . — Sheffield Iris .
Fatal Accident to J . B . Wilson , Esq ., Banker op York . —It is with the most painful feelings that we record the premature death of one of our most respectable citizens , which took place on Thursday morning last under very distressing circumstances . Mr . Wilson was on a visit at the country-house of hia brother , Thomas Wilson , Esq ., at Fulford ; and on the fatal morning he took breakfast with hia friends , and appeared as usual . After breakfast he went out about eleven o ' clock , and , being a fine morning , walked down to a retired situation on the bank of the Ouse , with an intention to bathe . He threw his clothes off , laid them on the bank , placed his gold watch upon the clothes , and then incautiously plunged into the water . Unfortunately the deceased had mistaken the place , there being a
shallow part of the water near , to which bathers often resorted , but the place he entered being of very great depth , He could not swim ; and it , ia supposed that he met with a watery grave almost immediately . About twelve his clothes were found lying on the bank , and search was immediately made for the body . It was soon found ; and a coroner's inquest was held the same evening , when the case was so clear that the jury , without hesitation , returned a verdict of "Found drowned . " Various rumours ( as usual ) were soon afloat ^ but the above are the facts ; and thorois no doubt whatever but that the dreadful event was purely accidental , Mr . Wilsoa wasa gentleman of unassuming manners , aud of a kind disposition . Ha was highly respected in life ; and his melancholy fate is deeply lamented by every inhabitant of the city . —York Herald .
Dlstroctive Fire in Manchester . —The large cotton will of Messrs . Lockwood and Thornton , Blarkfriars-street , Salford , seven stories in height , was discovered to be on fire in the lower story , between fivo and six o ' clock on Satarday morning , aud in an almost incredible short time was completely devoured by tbe flames , in spite of the most strenuous exertions to subdue the fire . Six engines were shortly on the spot , and soon after their arrival an immense body of water was poured into the factory from all bis engines , but it was of no avail . After this experiment the efforts of the police were direoted to the surrounding property , and it was fortunate that nearly a dead calm prevailed , or the whole of Blackfriars-strtet would
mo 3 t certainly have been consumed . Although some rumour of incendiarism prevailed , it is now considered tolerably certain that it was a pure accident , having originated in what is termed the blowing room , and is supposed to have been caused by friction from one of the shafts . From the basement story there is a communication from room to room to the top of the factory by means of a kind of basket or tub , which is hoisted up through trapdoors in each story . Through these places the flames immediately spread through the factory , and with 6 uch astonishing speed that the work people , who had only just begun labour , were compelled to make a precipitato retreat from tho spot , most of them with ' the loss of some portion of wearing apparel . Such was the rapidity with which the flaues spread , that in little more than two hours the whole edifice may be said to have become little
better than smoking ruins , not a vestige of the property having been saved , except the books of the concern . For some time considerable alarm was experienced lest an explosion of the boilers should take , place , they having been filled with water for the day , and it was apprehended that should the fire heat them red hot , the quantity of steam which would in consequence bo generated would cause a tremendous blow , up ; but , either from the safety valves proving how sate and efficacious they are , or from some other cause , tbe anticipated event did not happen . NothiDg is now standing of the immense edifice but the ruins of a portion of the walls . The damage is variously estimated , but the most probable , amount is £ 13 , 000 . The machinery aud stock was insured to the amount of £ 9000 , and it is said the building is also insured , but of this fact we aro not certain . -
