      Where Are They ? What Are They Doing ! A...

      Where are they ? What are they doing ! Are ihey still alive ! or has the very spirit of patriotism crossed the Blue salt wave along with its devoted embodyment in Frost and his companions ! Up 1 Cambriens , up ! and shake off this disgraceful lethargy . Let us not be compelled to write yon the degenerate _aona

      Of ancient aires who knew no fear , nor felt Despondency ; but onward ever reaching , With their hopes , their arms , gave battle to the death . And in their mountain comae , with wild wood notea _, The song of freedom snog and its fair spirit Cherished ; leaving for their sons example bright To be all disregarded thus ! Let us hear again of the children of the mist " gathering upon the mountains , and of the sons of the valley" taking counsel with each other , that the spirit of liberty may again breathe over them its happy influence . It would do us good ; indeed it would , to hear something from Wales .

      The London Chartist Monthly Magazine. ^?...

      THE LONDON CHARTIST MONTHLY MAGAZINE . _^? b have been favoured with a proof number of this new work , which is , we believe , published in London this day , ( Thursday ) . Heartily do we bid welcome to so valuable a ** companion in arms" to aid in ' * the holy war " . The Editor , Mr . John Watkins , is well and deservedly known to the whole _Chartist public . His official connection with it is sufficient warrantry that its columns will be filled with ** the right sort of stuff , " and we truly hope that the Chartist public will extensively " take it in . " We give the following from the introductory address by the Editor : — " TO OUR READERS AND SUBSCRIBERS .

      Pro aris el focis . ' " The 1 st of June !—the glorious 1 st of June !—this day is memorable for the great naval victory gained on it over tbe French by Lord Howe . But we hope to render it more memorable—more glorious to us . Chartists as the day on which the first number of onr first Magazine came for th . Lord Howe ' s victory waB gained at the expence of truth and justice—it was an

      attempt to quell the rising spirit of liberty . Onr little privateer will cruise in behalf of a better caase—we shall seek to free enslaved industry , and to succour oppressed virtue—we are the friends , not the foes , of man . We have a roving commission , like Paul Jones ; and wherever we can make a successful descent on the shore of ignorance , wherever we can carry off prejudice , we shall not fail to do bo . Our standard is the Charter , and on it is inscribed " social happiness . "

      " Our _prospectus has stated that this work is undertaken by a committee of Chartists who have launched their vessel—chriBtened it—manned itand now it put to sea with its freight of democratic truths—not yet chartered but soon to be so—sailing , not on its own account , but on account of the cause , and with the favourable breeze of public opinion . We shall keep due on in a course of progress , like the Centenary ship laden with missionary intelligence , which we shall dispense at every favourable opportunity , and wherever we think it may do good . Ours is a magazine not for powder and bullet , but for such weapons as St- Paul speaks of : The armour of righteousness , the breastplate of truth , the sword of the Spirit .

      " This work is * got out' in shares , bnt without the most distant idea to pecuniary profit . Every shareholder has voluntarily and gratuitously rendered his support , and lookB neither for interest nor principal back—looks for no return whatever—but is ready when called on to make a further advance on the same liberal and disinterested principles . The work is devoted not to individual or party interest , but to the advocacy of those rights on which the

      welfare of working men depend . We care not for self in so good a cause ; but we trust that onr subscribers will be so numerous as to prevent the necessity of further sacrifice . They will see to it that those who have zeal to serve them , shall not suffer for it , nor serve them in vain . Confidently we call on the public generally to give ability to onr inclination . We acknowledge no sovereign but the people , whose patronage we cheerfully anticipate will not be withheld so long as we prove ourselves loyal and

      active . " Had this work been brought out by an individual , or as a private speculation , it would have required the expenditure of a large amount of capital in advertisements and puff ? to give it notoriety ; but we have no such resource , and no such reliance . We trnst not in exciting curioFity , nor in the efficacy of promises too wonderful to be performed . We discard the puff system altogether . We wish to take no one in . but we wish all to take as in—to buy our book ; and -we trust to its intrinsic contents a ] one—to a sincere desire to promote the principles which we advocate , and to an earnest wish to benefit the interests of our fellow labourers .

      "It will be our aim , as much as possible , to diversify the matter of these pages : our contributors will _endeavour , _therefore , to make their articles suit . We shall each month present to our readers an olio of good digestible fare , suitable to all palates —a kind of kaleidioicope , which phases as follows —Chartist History , Chartist Theology , Chartist Philosophy , Chartist Politics , Democratic Tales , Poetry , Reviews , & c . We shall make such

      selections from the matter before us as we may think most conducive to the interests of the Magazine , and tie cause to which it will be rendered subservientactuated neither by fear nor faTOur . We shall ourselves , at all times , write what we think—independently—for we should deem ourselves unworthy of the _people ' s _confidence if we could flatter either them or their tyrants . All that we ask in return , is calm , _dispassionate judgment . Let Reason be the umpire : now Providence speed us for the people . "

      There are , besides this , a variety of other articles —most we suspect—as usual in the first number of every periodical , from the pen of tbe Editor . W 6 recommend strongly to all onr Chartist friends , of literary character , to " take up" the Magazine— to support it not merely by baying and pushing it , but by writing for i :, Many of those able and wellwritten essays upon various subjects , to which we are compelled , by the pressure of news , to refuse insertion , would here find a proper vehicle . We shall probably trouble friend Watkins occasionally with a stray lucubration of our own , as lime and opportunity may serve . The present number coming upon us in the hurry of _basineas , we have not had

      time to read any article but the one from which wa give extracts above . The titles of the rest speak well for them ; they are as follow : — » * Progress of Liberty in England from the earliest period down to the present time , _- "—A " Letter to Archbishop Canter , by a Christian Chartist f '— " Knowledge , " a poetical scrap;—The commencement of a tale called * The Poor Law Martyrs ,- " — " Chartism and Socialism ;' - " Poems by a Sufferer under the present System , No . 1 ;" - Autobiography of a Chartist ; " — " Repeal of the Union ;"—A " Chartist Hymn ; " — " _L' : fe of a London Dodger ;"" Reasons and Rules for Exclusive Dealing _,- "sonic _Review ? , and a Brief Summary of the News of " the Mo Ah . Such is the first bill of fare of our

      The London Chartist Monthly Magazine. ^?...

      new friend ; we hope that , in twelve mouths time , he will have at least one dish more—the review of a triumphant and profitable year's cruize . The Magazine may be had of Mr . Watson , Paternoster-Row , London , and of Mr . Hobson , Star Office , Leeds .

      The Glorious Uncertainty Of The Law Has ...

      The glorious uncertainty of the law has prevented me from giving definite answers to many correspondents , and especially to those who have written on behalf of London localities , inviting me to attend projected demonstrations . The fact is that I have not been able to call myself more than a prisoner at large since September last , and when I thought tbat the hour of liberation had arrived , I find that I am once more to appear before the Justices of the Queen ' s Bench , on Saturday . I cannot possibly , then , make any engagements until this longpending question is disposed of ; and I trust that those who have written and have have not received

      answers , will believe that they were not neglected intentionally . I have been busily engaged in writing ageneral deforce of Chartism , which will be found in the eighth and last number of the Lancaster Trials ; and while , speaking of those trials , it is a curious fact that some agents complain that there were too many numbers , and that t . hey were too long ; just as if I could have helped it . Long as they were , if cut short by one single witness' entire evidence , they would have been incomplete ; and if wanting one defendant ' s speech , O Lord , what a row we should have had . Long as they are they will live beyond the present day , and will yet , and that e ' er long , form a part of tbe history of this country , and not an unimportant portion either .

      I am really in such a _whirlpool of thought and anxiety about the Irish movement , racking my brain to discover how we can best serve it , without running any the _slighest chance of injuring either that or our own Charter , that I can think of but little else at present . _eargcs O'Connor . London , June 1 , 1843 .

      William Hebdon, Stokesley.— We Are Oblig...

      William Hebdon , Stokesley . — We are obliged to him for his hint : it shall be attended to . It is quite impossible fur us to give the name of every _subscriber lo the Defence or any other Fund : we can only give the sum total from each place . S . Boonhah _, Nottingham , _setids us a forthcoming notice of a Chartist tea party ; but does not say when it is lo beheld . Samuel Walker , Ashton-under-Lyne . — We do not know . W . W . —His questionis a very proper one . We had by no means overlooked it ; though tee did not refer to it in that particular article . Our eye is upon all the matter ; and he may depend upon

      any such movement as that lo which he alludes having from us a determined opposition . We are for no project of merely transferring the ass and his burden from one gang of thieves to another . But we must work cautiously ; and W . W . must allow us to work our own way , and to bring out things at our own time . We have perhaps a larger view of the field of action than he may have . We imagine our present week ' s article will , in some degree , assure him that we are " all right . " Hamilton Chartists . —Mr . Hill will gladly see them when he comes to the " land o' cakes . " H . A . Donaldson sends us " an ' . _addrets to the _FJirminoham and Midland Counties Charter

      Asso-Hon , " for the insertion of which we have not room . He presses upon them the study , with a view lo its adoption , of Mr . O'Connor ' s land scheme ; he calls iheir attention to ihe letter of Gracchus , in last week ' s Star ; he exhorts them io aid the Irish in the Repeal struggle ; and to support the Chartist victims and their families . E . Starkey , Stoke . — We know not lo what he alludes : all reports received here , —whether from u refined" or not , —receive that attention which their claims merit . A Democrat . —To his first question , . Vo . - to his second , Yes .

      Joseph Ratnkr , Holliswood . —It will be duly announced . A . Prosser , Bromsgrove . — Write on one side only of your paper for the future . John Newhocse , Birmingham , will excuse us : we have made the best we can of the hurried report he sent us , and must _express our regret that we are not _enalled to make more of so important a meeting . Some friend might have assitted him in the arduous la * k , which he has voluntarily imposed upon himself . Mr . L . Pitkethlt , Duxtonroad , _Huddersfield would be glad to learn the present address of Air . Af organ Williams-

      Xiexcesteb. Independent Order Of United ...

      _XiEXCESTEB . Independent Order of United Brothers . —Leicester Unity . —Another Lodge in connection with this Order was opened at Leicester on Monday last , when twenty one persons were duly initiated and three more proposed . NOTTINGHAM—At a general meeting of the workmen employed in the plain silk glove branch , held at the Shoulder of Mutton , Barker Gate , on Monday last , for the purpose of taking into consideration the evils under which the hands were labouring , by the enormous charges ia the shape of frame rent , and other infringements . A committee was appointed , with power to add to their number , to prepare an address , setting forth the various impositions to which they were subjected , and calling upon those employers who are thus charging to desist from such practice , and return to the old system of frame charges . The trade are called upon to meet on Monday next , at eight o ' clock in the evening , at the above house .

      TODMOEDEN .- Shocking Accident . —On the evening of Monday last , a guard of a luggage train , npon the Manchester and Leeds line , was thrown down between the waggons , and the wheels ran over his head , and crushed it in a very shocking manner , so much so that his brains fell upon the ground , it appears that it was a long train , and there was a pilot engine behind ; and , with the _fiiot engine having the steam turned off , the one behind caused the waggons to come in contact , very forcibly , and he was thrown over the side of the waggon by that means . At an inquest held on Wednesday , a verdict of accidental death was returned . T' _-e unfortunate man , whose name is Hampson , has left a widow and two children .

      BROWISQKOVE . —Tbe trade of this town is in a most deplorable state . The staple trade is nail-making . The masters have reduced the men twenty per cent , and now they want a further ro-• . ur . ii . nof ten percent ., which the men have all struck _again-t , as the average wages do not amount io above 5 .-. 9 d . per week , out of which they have sbop rent and tools to pay for . which is one shilling per week , leaving only 4 s . 9 d . for a man aud his family to _subsi ? t upon . The workmen parade the town every day in large _numoers , but ar _*> very peaceable . On Sunday , they went iu procession ( about a thousand ) to Church , and some of tbe principal men in the town talked of forming a union to take tho trade out of the _truckmasters' bands . The churchwardens and overseers called a public meeting on Monday morning , and the men went to it , but were refused admittance by the police , who were stationed at the gates ; and when a deputation

      from tbe working men ' s committee obtained entrance they were informed by these generous souls that if they refused working at the masters' prices , they would be refused all relief at the Union Bastile , and if they persisted in congregating together they sboula betaken np 1 This is middle class sympathy with a vengeance . The men assembled on Monday at their usual place of meeting , when they were addressed by Mr . Wm . Clements , a nailer and a Chartist , who showed up the would-be philanthropists and gave the factions a gqod dressing , not forgetting the parsons , in not coming out to endeavour to gaiu the people their just rights . The magistrates sent for a troop of Dragoons from Birmingham Barracks , and they marched into the town about eight o ' clock on Monday night , when the town was all very peaceable and quiet , and not the * least _sjmptom * of disorder ; but whtn the troop marched iii , the town was up in arms to know what was the matter that they were sent for , but no one could _B _^ wrr .

      BISHOP _AUCKIrAND .-A publio meeting of colliers was held at Cokton-hill , in a field belonging to Mr . Wm . Dixon , on Saturday last . _Ou account of the dullness of the day the meeting perhaps was not so large as might have been . Notwithstanding the short notice and only seven days previous agitation by Mr . Swallow , yet there could not be less than 1500 present , for the purpose of asserting their rights , and giving the right hand of fellowship to their brethren in the North and South . Mr . Thomas My croft , of West Auckland , was called to the chair . Mr . P . Atkinson moved the first resolution , which was to tho same purport as that adopted at Shaden ' s-hill meeting , and reported in the Star of the 20 th inst . Mr . Robert Smithan aged collier

      , , seconded the resolution in a most effective and practical speech . Mr . Swallow proposed the adoption of the collier's petition , and that the pitmen of the Auckland districts pledge themselves to give all the information they possibly can in answer to the questions in the Northern Star of May 20 . Mr . Daniel Thompson ( a person who was discharged for being a delegate ) seconded it . After a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated in an orderly manner . At the conclusion of the above a delegate meeting was held at Mr . Wm . Dixon ' s , when Mr . Mycrof t was a _^ jain called to the chair . The lht of collieries was called over , and it was found that all the collieries in the district , with the exception of seven , were represented . After the several sums of

      contributions had been handed over to the treasurer , tbe following resolutions were agreed to— " That a general meeting of tho Auckland districts be held at Cokton-hill , Bishop Auckland , on Saturday the 24 > h of June . " " That every delegate bring one shilling each to defray the expences of the district , over and above what is to be paid into the general fund . " 'That every delegate bring proper credentials , signed by the chairman and secretary of the _saciety he may represent , or he will not be allowed to have a . voice in the delegate meeting . " " That Mr . Daniel I _homDson be recommended to the Executive aa a fit and proper person to becomo a lecturer of this society as a talented and tried friend to tho Union , and as he has been discharged from his employment on that account .

      _rtjjnt the devil never more dangerous or ugly than _yrijen he puts on the garb of righteousness and approaches as an angeL And hence we deem this the proper time , when the whole press teems _jfjih this strike among the Scottish parsons ; and when the Whig , dissenting , and middle-class anion men especially _, are lauding to the very echo the _devoiedness and patriotism of the new _seceders , to bring the whole matter in a very short compass before our readers ; that they may know how to _^ _gtiinsie the " sublime moral spectacle which guy well win admiration while it excites reference * . '

      The whole matter of contention arises , in the _jist " _romance , out of a qnestion of patronage ; than jrhicb , few things have caused more bickering and ( _JiHSEntion in the church . The advocates of patronage , or the right of an in dividual , under given circumstances , to present a ; _fceneace to a only qualified person , argnethu _^ : — j » If a man build and endow a church , it is sorely \ no more than just that he should choose the minister ; ; _jni 1 ; would be a gross fraud on his just rights to ' _ . V _^ . * _!* - _« f _> _nytrtlv _4 r * a _*» A ** a n ¦¦ ¦¦ t — _., 1 il i v ¦ « i I t t £ 3 _t he should have control that which

      _ s no over he j 2 _aniself had bnilt and given . Now there is some- _. _iisis in this argument , plausible at first sight , but _jujaccordant with the free spirit of Christianity when ' _jgore nearly examined . When building and en- i _lowing the Church , the donor is supposed to be _actuated , and claims credit for being actuated , by i purely pious and benevolent motives ; it is a free gift to the glory of God and the good of man . But , I _jji retaining the right of patronage , he , in fact ,. _jnnals the giyfl , and still claims for his own that I

      « hkh has passed from his possession entirely . Tell i us not that he has a right to attach conditions to ! his gift . He has so ; but the conditions must be ' _jast . He has no right to _^ tach contradictory con - j ditionr , and then to insist on the fulfilment of ihe one by which his own interest or caprice is served vriihoat regard to its co-ordinate conditions , which j affect the interests , or feelings , or happiness of ! others . Now , this is done whenever a minister is , j as the Scotch say , " intruded" on a parish or con- ' gregadon . Suppose the first donor to hare given the entire church—land , buildings , endowment , and all , ( which is , perhaps , as strong a case ' for patronage as can be get op ) he gives this Church

      for the very purpose and on the condition of its being appropriated to a certain use ; and by this j appropriation other parties necessarily acquire lights—rights of conscience , more sacred even than those of property ; they acquire the right to have ihe word of life dispensed to them by a priest in \ whom they have confidence ; they have a natural right to form their own opinion npon this subject , of which no man can honestly deprive them , and for which bo equivalent can be offered ; the donor when i he gaTe the property knew all this , and he gave it ] _gnbjec : to these conditions ; he has no right there- fore to violate these conditions ; nor has he any right to clog his benefaction with another condition which must or may violate them : if he do so , he is

      precisely in the condition of Ananias andSapphira who kept back part of the price of the land which j ihey pretended io haTe given to the Church ; whilst ; it was in their own hands they had a right of con- trol over it—but when it was given from them _as a gift to the Church , they had no longer any such right , and were subjected to the severest censure axd punishment for daring to nsurp it . This seems to us to be precisely the argument ot patronage , giving tbe most favourable view to I the case of its supporters ; and it results in the con- [ elusion that patronage is , under all circumstances ] unlawful to Christians ; that it is incompatible _, with the free spirit of Christianity , and cannot be _. exercised without trenching on the people's rights i This seems also to have been the view taken of the

      matter by the early Scotch Reformers ; all of whom denounced patronage in _strong and severe terms . Bnt notwithstanding this denunciation it has still existed in the Scottish Church from its first establish ment . The civil law regarded and treated patronage as property , and even fixed the compensation money to be paid to the patron upon the setting aside of his right . The right of patronage was exercised in this manner . The patron , when a benefice became vacant , selected a candidate for the office and presented him to the Presbytery within whose jurisdiction the benefice might be situate , praying them to

      ordain _'_ nd induct him . The Presbytery first ascertained the qualifications of the candidate , and , if , after trial by the parishioners , more than onehalf of the male heads of families , being _eommnni-l cants in the parish , did not agree to reject him , _, stating tbeir reasons for so doing , he was inducted ; into the living . In the event of rejection by the , parish , the candidate could appeal against the , T & _lidity of the reasons for his rejection , first to thei Synod , and finally to the General Assembly , by ! whom in the event of the objections being declared j futile , he could have tiie benefice restored to him . i

      Snch was the law ; bnt the democratic spirit of the Scotch never well submitted to it . It was seldom acted on until of late years when the spirit of resistance _agitated and has finally dismembered the whole church . In 1824 , an Act of tbe General Assembly , which commanded all Presbyteries , in cases of presentation by patrons , that , if a majority of the male heads of families , being communicants in a parish , objected to any candidate as their pastor , he should be Eummarfly rejected bj the Presbytery without sueh communicants being required to give any reason for objecting to him . This is the famous veto act . Now this seems to be a purely democratic rule of action ; ai ; d it is in upholding thiE rnle against the anthorirv of the civil law that the late Moderator of

      the Church of Scotland and the other 400 ministers and dignitaries have thrown up their livings and ecededfrom the Chnreh . If ibis wa 3 in reality what it seems to be at fet sight , a free giving to the people of the choice of iheir own ministers—we should be inclined to bestow as mnch praise on the " sublime moral spectacle" as any of the dissenting organs of the day . But a little closer examination strips the mask and shews the real face . The matter contended for by these 400 Scotch priests is not that of the People ' s rights , but of their own exclusive domination over both patrons and people . This "Veto Act

      which seems so democratic is in reality an act for placing every parish and tbe whole temporalities of the entire chnreh in the hands of the priests exclusively , to the entire shutting out of the people from any power at all . Of course with such a people as the Scotch , the priests wonld act warily in bringing into requisition snch a power as this j bnt it is nevertheless assumed . The whole thing lies in the few words "being communicants of the parish . " This is the talisman which does the whole mischier ; and to understand its working we need bnt look at the constitution of the Ecclesiastical Courts of Scotland .

      ° There are four Ecclesiastical Courts in Scotland . Ihe first is tbeConrt of Kirk Session for every parish , I composed of the Minister and two Elders , with ' , power to increase their numbers by other Elders elected by themselves . This is a Court of parochial J discipline , and mag Ivmii to whom it pleases ike-ad- ; _Prostration of the Holy Communion , thus placing _** THS . HAKDS OP PEW GB . XAJ * V THI BIGHT OV EX- \ * _Bosi 5 G the _teto . The second Court is the Pres- j _kjtery , composed principally , and for _bnsiness pnr-

      POB _68 almost wholly , of the Ministers m a certain j district . Elders are included , bnt they are merely ; _oeatnres of the Ministers . This Court ordains and i inducts Ministers within the sphere of its _jurisdic- j tion . The Court of Synod is bnt an extension of the Presbytery ; and the General Assembly , or Sapeme _Conrt , is as Ecclesiastical Parliament , combining legislative and judicial functions recognised by and binding upon the whole Church . "

      Now here then we have the whole secret of the _devotedness of these seceding ministers to the high P * le of principle ; and we have also hers a snffieient reason for Doctor Chalmers' disavowal -of ? _ohmtar yism . Several portions of the Reverend _BoctGr _' s speech on being chosen to the _Moderator ' s hair of the New Church Assembly , which have excited much remark and much seeming astonishment _asa-. m ; _Lilirih :, are sufficiently obvious when _we _;© ok at - . h .: real principle of thi :. Veto Act .

      Ar00501

      The Veto Act limits the rights to the communi cants ; and the Minister and two Elders , constituting the Court of Session , in any parish , may restrict the privilege of communicating ( for in Scotland permission to communicate ib s privilege , and not a right , as in the Church of England ) to as few persons as they please . There are populous parishes in Scotland , where the Clergy have restricted the participation in the Holy Communion to bo more than seven heads of families ! Thus the real

      operation of the Veto Act is to place the whole power of the Chnreh of Scotland in the hands of the priests . It is an engine by means of which they are placing the ecclesiastical above the civil _Power—the priest above , and irresponsible to , either magistrate or people . This the very high priest of the _Non-intrnsionists , Dr . Chalmers , openly avows . He warns the Voluntaries that he will have nothing to do with them , and that they are to hope for no portion in his work .

      Thus it is that after all it turns out , on examination , that the m _' ghty cry of these Scotch priests ahont "the sacred rights of the Church of Christ " means , just as usual , the power of the priesthood and no more . Dr . Chalmers announced that the gross receipts in aid of the Free Church were £ 223 , 028 6 s . lid . Sow this must have been " voluntary" money , we much marvel that the Doctor ' s high sense of principle , and his determination to have nothing to do with voluntaries did not induce him to reject it . But trust the priests to permit the voluntaries to give what they pleas * ; so that they give only and take nothing .

      Strange and Romantic Story . —A correspondent , who writes from Ballagbaderrine , county of Mayo , and with whose name wo are acquainted , sends us the following strange details : — " Ballagbaderrine , Thursday , May 2 o , 1043 . —Yesterday tho inhabitants of this town wero annoyod by an announcement that thore was a woman in custody who had served as servant man in this town for upwards of six months , and wa ? known by nearly all the inhabitants as the grtat lady killer . Iu fact , this person could not stand at the house door but the girls would flock about him ; and so jealous were they of each other , that one of them was fined by the magistrates of this di . trict some time since for scandal , arising out of this . strange partiality . On being examined by surgeon Dillon , and one of the magistrates of _the'Ballaghaderriue petit sessions _.

      it appeared that the name of the supposed man was Catherine Reilly ; that she had beeu married to Michael O'Malley , of Binghanes j that she had lived with him for five years , and borne one child ; through bad treatment she was driven to adopt tho resolution of leaving him , and is now eighteen months away from him . On leaving her native place , she went direct to Ballina , and purchased men ' s apparel , in whioh she dressed , and then proceeded to Ballagbaderrine , where she was hired as servant . In the course of three or four months , a servant maid fell in love with the assumed man ; they plighted troth , and wero joined in Hymen ' s bonds . They are married now four months , and the only excuse—but no , we shall leave this Eart to the imagination of our readers . They are oth detained in custody until Monday , the next petty sessions day at Ballaghaderrine . —Freeman ' s Journal .

      The Belgian journals relate the following strange occurrence : — 'A gentleman named C- , a native of Holland , has been for some timo confined in a madhouse at Brussels , for religious monomania . He one day got loose , and climbed up one of the trees _, with the design , he said , to go to heaven . Those below , who saw hini climbing up , feared a fall , and the director of the establishment ordered mattrasses to be placed under the tree . Before this could be done , he jumped down , came on his feet , and was but little hurt . The shock , strange to say , cured his mental alienation , and a few days since ho left the madhouse perfectly well . "

      Latest news from America . —The Hibf . rnia , — Tho new mail steamer Hibemia , Captai Judkins , arrived at Liverpool on Sunday morning last , ( May 2 B : h ) , after a wonderfully rapid passage of eleven days and twelve hours from Boston to Liverpool , which is the shortest passage ever yet made across tho Atlantic . She brings New York papers to the 15 th , and Boston to the 16 th inst . We learn from the papers that the Hon . Daniel Webster has ret i rod from office , after having secured the re-establishment of firm relations of peace and amity between his own country and England . Mr . H . S .

      following paragraph in the Boston Evening Journal of tho 15 th instant : — " The Sandwich Islands—We learn from the Army and Navy Chronicle , that advices have been received from the Sandwich Islands as late as the 8 th of March . On the 25 th of February , in consfquence of demands made by the British officers , which tbe King could not , or would not , comply with , the islands wer e conditionally ceded to Queen Victoria .

The deceased had been long in a sinking 6 tate and bad been subject to water oirthe head , as well as other ills of a very distressing character . The allusion sometimes made by sailors to their legs when invoking a coolness in tho lower _extremities was frightfully realised in the case of the late Pier , _whoss timbers were completely shivered between seven and ei _^ ht o ' clock on Thursday

      morning . The Pier of Greenwich had the second title of Baron of Dividends , and though never known to be in hot water , was on soveral occasions nearly swamped in the cold element . The Pier , which had been _proceedad against for a nuisance , has left no issue , but the general issue , which it pleaded to a declaration served upon it when in extremis . Father Thame ? , the mortgagee in possession , has carried off several of the timbers , and invested this , the only property of the deceased , in a bank of all sorts of deposits . —Punch .

      Another Fire at the _Dckes ' s Warehouses , Liverpool . —Another conflagration broke eut on Saturday evening , in the western wing of the pile of warehouses _situated between the Duke ' s and King ' s Docks , the eastern end of which was severely injured , only three weeks ago , by a similar _calamity . The fire was discovered about half-past five o'clock , shortly after the men had quitted work , when flames were seen is _? uing from the roofs of the second and third warehouse , from the western end of the range . Information having been promptly conveyed to the fire-police station , engines and

      water carts were soon on the ground . Nine engines were ultimately brought into play , and a plentiful supply of water was procured from the dooks . In spite of all endeavours that were made , the fire descended to two rooms ( filled with cotton ) of the fifth story of the second and third warehouses , where its progress was arretted , the whole of the four stories , below being saved . The entire damage , we are informed , will not exceed £ 10 , 000 . The cotton consumed in the four rooms belonged to Messrs . Mellv _, Provost , and Co ., and was insured in the Royal Exchange Office , which company will suffer , with what they have en the buildings , to the

      extent of £ 5 , 000 . The ten warehouses of the pile are insured in unequal proportions amongst various offices . The chief sufferers on the present occasion are the Liverpool , the Sun , and as before mentioned , the Royal Exchange ; but their loss , we are happy to find , will not be very large . Some grain and other property in tho lower rooms of the warehouses principally damaged , and of those on each side , have received considerable injury from tho water . The grain , we ara informed , is insured in the Alliance Office .

      Perth . —The Military and Inhabitants . — .. The following is au extract of a letter from Perth , dated Friday . We should hope tho statements which it contains are exaggerated : — " Last night , a dreadful not took place in this town , in consequence of a quarrel between some of the trades bids and the soldiers ( we believe of the depot of the _€ 8 h . ) A party of tho military sallied out of the barracks , and in revenge attacked the people with swords ( query , bayonets ) and sticks , when a fearful commotion ensued . The constables were- called

      _out , and the Provost had the Riot Act read . The riot , however , was not quelled before the soldiers were severely beaten , and a number of the constables so seriously injured that they are hot expected to recover ; indeed , I have heard that some of them are already dead . There are several of the soldiers in prison ; and it is said that the military are ordered to be removed from the town , which , it is to be hoped , will take place without further mischief , though this is greatly feared by many people here . "—Caledonian Mercury .

      The Croal _Coachej . _^ Dubmn , May 30 . —The neighbourhood of tbe Post-office was last night thronged by thousands of persons watching the departure of the Saxon coaches on their second journey , and a casual observer might have remarkfd- that there was a much stronger disposition to riot manifested among the mob than on the previous evening . _According as the mails made their appearance they were greeted with the usual yells of execration , in constquehce of which several of the horses became restive , while those drawing the Belfast mail , in their alarm ,, made a violent plunge at the corner of'Henrystreet , knocking down two men in tho crowd , and dragging the coach over their bodies . Both man received severe injuries ; one of them expired this

      morning ; but it was after all tha mails had left that' the mob seemed determined on an emute : and the police , it was evident , were the objects of tbe popular " excitement , " partly , it cannot ba denied , from the over zeal of tho peace-preservers in restraining attempts at rioting by the rather frequent . application of the baton to the heads and shoulders of the _anti-Croalites . Retaliation , however , quickly followed ; and stones of considerable magnitude were hurled indiscriminately at the police , one of whom , belonging to the mounted force , had bis eye knocked out by a missile discharged by one of the rioters . At length , by tho interposition of Mr . Studdert , a divisional magistrate , the mob dispersed , leaving a vast number of

      their body prisoners io the . hands of the police .: At half-past ten o ' olock this morning the rioters were brought before Mr . Studdert , at HenTy-street police-office , who after hearing evidence , summarily punished the prisoners by fining tho bulk of them 40 s ., or one month ' s imprisonment , while others had the penalties increased to 60 s ., or two months in Newgate , the magistrate' _remarking , that as' th > _- publio mind was then in a very excited state , be was determined to repress the spirit , iha *; wad abroad by the _icfiioiion oi' the heaviest _punishment which the law _panetionpd in such _canea .

      REPEAL MEETING IN CLARE . The Clare Journal , a Tory paper , gives an account of a meeting held in front of the court-house of Ennis on Sunday , in consequence of the following notice issued on Saturday : — * ' The Liberator dismissed from the commission of the peace ! ! Men of Clare , now is the day and bow is the hour . The work of Ireland's freedom must begin where the foundation stone of her regeneration was laid , in Clare—glorious Clare . Clare men ! bora slaves , but determined to be free ! Meet at two o'clock to-morrow ( Sunday ) tho 28 th May , iu High-street . " The Clare Journal states that there was an immense assemblage at the hour appointed : —

      Mr . Charles O'Connell addressed the meeting at some length , and with considerable effect . He said the governmeut c had dismissed tho Liberator from the commission of the peace , which was only an incumbrance to him ; they , deprived themselves of the aid of an intelligent and-pacifying magistrate , and to vex their faces they cutoff their noses—( laughter ) He had a most gratifying fact [ to tell the meeting . Mr . John _M'Namara , a most respectable man and intelligent magistrate , declared to him that the moment he heard of a magistrate dismissed foi attending a repeal meeting , that moment he would send up his subscription to the Corn Exchange . The government had other irons in the fire which

      wanted more serious attention . There was the Scotch _presbyterian question ; the Chartist proceedings , and other dificulties ; but the base , rancorous , and bigotted crew determined to operate on Ireland alone , as far as coerciou was concerned . He concluded by moving tbe following resolution : — " That our best thanks are hereby given to his Grace the Duke of Wellington and Sir R . Peel , for the energetic measures they have taken to secure to us a repeal of the parchment union ; and that we do assure those wise statesmen , that for every

      magistrate they dismiss for declaring their opinions upon an odious actf 4 of _parliament in a free countrv , they add 30 , 000 determined repealers to our ranks . TheiRev . DanieL Li _^ cii appeared amidst loud cheers , and said , although he spoko of the baneful effects of the union in the Old Chapel on last week , still be could not resist the temptation that now presented itself .. In the spot where they now stood they achieved Catholic Emancipation , aud there , with the blessing of God , they would effect the repeal of the union—( loud cheers . )

      Queen , three cheers for the Repeal of the Union and three for _O'Connell , which was _responded to by every one _present . The meeting then separated in a peaceable and orderly manner . The Rev . Mr . _Hennessy then came forward and complimented Tipperary on the glorious reception given to the Liberator there . The struggle of 1828 was still fresh in their recollection , and dare would rot be Clare if she did not make a _graud display on the 15 th of June . He impressed on them all tho necessity of having their contributions ready when called for ; and concluded a short but energetic speech , by calling for threo cheers for the

      It is stated that two armed steam-vessels , the Cyclops and _Rhadampnthus , have been ordered for service on the Irish coast during tbe imaginary insurrection . Thoy are , it is said , to bring over large supplies of military stores . All this only serves to accelerate the Repeal agitation . The Government are pursuing a most absurd and mischievous course , * it may prove a most perilous one .
