      e - y wished the church clock would move as fastagain till the happy hour should arrive that would make the bachelor and spinster man and wife . But Bob , during his bachelorshi p , appears to haxe been doing business in the way of courtship rather in a wholesale way ; lor while making preparations for bis intended marriage , , he roceived the visits of two females reproaching him with his duplicity ; one in particular reminded him of promises made for the last fifteen years .

      HUUu . TO THE EDITORS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . ¦ Gentlemen , — -How very delicate our keepers of the parish accounts for Scalcoates are , in the item of charges upon the commissioners' rate , " for lighting , watering the streets , &c . " As to escape any charges of fraud or inconsistency in their demands for the extra sams levied upon such of the parishioners who reside in those streets where it is not thought . expedient , from the small number , it may be ,, of influential persons who dwell therein , to water such streets—whereas , it is not at . all the less necessary , —not only on the account of those

      dwellings , but on the accaunt of the more numerous passengers , —as is the case in many instances , — wio throng such unwatered streets . Buiaslhave intimated , the delicacy of the commissioners , or their keepers of the paroehial accounts , not to be so glaringly or deliberately offensive , have found it expedient , from the unfairness of the thing , being pointed out , to pass a pen over the item of street watering in their schedule of taxes , delivered to such of ttie parishioners as are denied the luxury , or rather , the benefit of such an equally , if hot more necessary , procedure . But not withstanding their sqneamishneBg in affecting not to make that a charge

      in the rates demanded , it is presnmed , snob , of us , poor devils , as are deliberately or capriciously denied snch a benefit , charged every whit as much for the tune , as those who -are fiddled to , in those streets which , and to gBch' of their inhabitants , who , in the wisdom of our parochial officers rank as A 1 on their list . Is this , fair or becoming , gentlemen , to make a general charge for partial proceedings , the benefit andcomfort of which is enjoyed exclusively in what are thought to he the don parts of ihe parish- In future , I trust that our officials will be so far ashamed of such proceedings , as to lay the extra cost and charge upon such of the inhabitans who enjoy the benefit . I am . Sir , Yours , &c , AN OLD RATE-PAYER .

      _ Theatre . —Oni Monday evening last , we had the great , treat of witnessing the most successful comedy brought out of late years ^ one which has materially added to the laurels of the first dramatist of the age—Sheridan Knowles ; The " Lo > e Chase " m indeed a brilliant composition—sparkling throughout with gems" purest ray . serene . " Out of a very slender plot the author has produced a comedy of the utmost interest—pervaded throughout by classkal purity and poetic imagery . The plays of Mr . Knowles are most acceptable to us , for in them we see everything which dignifies the stage and ~

      renders it valuable ; . they " hold the mirror up to nature , " they expose the vices , elevate the virtues , and ridicule the foibles of mankind--and thus render service to morality and to society at large . His language is always beautifully poetic , and in accordance withthe fetlingsof modern times—is free from those gross excrescences which are blots upon the wntings of many of our old dramatists . The very title ot the play has a charm in it- the " L . oVe Chase —It must have been conceived in a moment of happy inspiration , and , with three couples , it is from first to > last a ^ rue steeple chase . NothineMr .

      snowies nas written excels in beauty the language he has put into the mouth of Lydia-her scene with Widow Green , wherein she describes what love is , and also _ her interview with Master Waller , are among the most effective in the play . What a glorious description does Sir ^ Willi am Fondlove give of » the pleasant Widow Green " -her courtesy walk , voice , her hand and arm , with the « curved and pliant wrist , " are to the life . But no scene for graphic force can exceed that in which Constance describes the delight of the fox-chase . We could with her , desire to be a " tenant of the merry-wood ' and to hat their jocund music . " We are tempted to make one extract from this splendid comedy and it shall be that to ' which we have just referred—from Act II ., Scene 3 : —

      Constance ( courtesying ) . —What delight To back'the flying steed , that challenges The wind for speed !—seems native more of air Than earth !—whose burden only lends him fire Whose sonlvinhis task , turns labour into sport 1 Who makes your pastime his ! I sit him now ! He takes away my breath!— He makes me reel ! I touch not earth—I see not—hear not—all Is ecstacy of motion ! / rilcirake . —^ ioxi are used , I see , to the chace .

      Constance . —I am , Sir ! Then the leap , To see the saucy barrier , and know The mettle that can clear it ! Then your time To prove ye urriaster of the menage . Now You keep him well together for a space , Both horse and rider braced as you were one , Scanning the "distance—then you give him rein , And let him fly at it , and o ' er he gous Light as a bird on wing . / rrf ^ afo . — 'Twere a bold leap , I . see , thatturn'dyou , madam . Condance ( courtesying )—Sir , you ' re good ! And then the hounds sir ! Nothing I admire Beyond the running of the well-train'd pack .

      llK \ traini « g-s every thing ! Keen on the scent ! At fault none losing heart!—but all at work ! None leaving l ^ s task to another—answering The watchful huntsmen's caution , check , or cheer , As steed his rider ' s rein ? Away they go ! How close they . keep together !— . What a pack ! Nor turn , nor ditch , nor stream , divides them—as They moved with . one intelligence , act , will ! And then the concert they keep up ' . ^ -enough To make one tenant , of the merry wood , To list their jocund music ! fViltlmke . —You describe The huntsman ' s pastime to the life ! Constance . —1 love it !

      To wood and glen , hamlet and town , itis A laughing holiday !—Not a hill-top Bnt ' s then alive 1—Footmen with horsemen vie , All earth ' s astir , roused with the revelry Of vigour , health , and joy ! - —Cheer awakes cheer , While Echo ' s mimic tongue , that never tires , Keeps up the hearty din ! Each face is then Its neighbour ' s glass—where gladness . sees itself , And at the ' . bright reflection grows more glad' ] , ' Ureaks into teiifold mirth !—laughs like a chM' ! Would make a gift of its heart , it is soiree ! Would scarce accept a kingdom , ' tis so rich ! Shakes hands with all , and vows it never knew That life was life before !

      We have so far spoken of the play—the genius of the author was admirably caught , by- the various performers last-evening . Of Mrs . Nisbett ' s Constance it is impossible we c < in speak in too high terms—the character is all over sparkling and ' . beautiful—she enters fully into the spirit of the scene , displaying to admiration the many beauties of which the part is ? o full . Ko -actress of the present day can approach Mrs . Nisbett in fascination and display of nature . Our recollection goes not back so-far as the days of

      some actresses whose memories are embalmed among us , yet we , . last evening , heard'from those whose acquaintance with the stage is most extensive , that , with all ' those names we boast , Mrs . Nisbett can stand comparison ; nay , that she is more than these , for she unites the excellencies of two of the first names the stage can boast—the acting and manners of Mrs . F . Jordan , with the elegance and figure of Miss Pan-en , late the Counfcess-of Derby . —Hull Observer .

      A _ Parish Flooger . —On . Saturday , James Mortimer , a fellow employed as-a schoolmaster by the GoTtirnor and Guardians of the Poor , appeared to answer a summons obtained the previous day by a person named Megget , who-charged him with committing an assault upon his nephew , a lad about thirteen years old , a scholar m the Parish School , on the Humber bank . James Megget deposed that he was in the school of the parish , and that oh Monday last he had oopied a sum he was working from another boy ' s slate , for which offence he was severely flogged by the master , an . dhad marks on his back all the rceek ; his back was-very painful still . The blows were inflicted with a sinail cane , the end of which

      was wrapped round with twine , and cut him sadly . This statement waa fully borne out by another bor , and the fact of marks being still onhim w ^ proved by his . uncle , and admitted by Mr . Kidd and Mr . Wallace , ths governor and surgeon to the workhouse . In his defence , the wretch coolly remarked tkat be had only given the boy what h « considered proper chastisement : lads at a parish school must not be treated as at other seminaries of learning , or even as at a common boarding-school . He ho ^ ed the Court would ^ . protect hire , or he could not maiptain his authority " : corporal punishme-nt was absolutely necessary . The governor said he did not wish to screen any officer , if he did wrong : he did not

      approve of-corporal punishment , but if it must be resorted to , perhaps the master had not given the lad more dian was proper : he hadruii away from the establishment a month since , without anj-cause . Mr Bourne , the sitting magistrate , commented in strong terms , on-the impropriety of flogging a boy on Monday in such a way as to leave the effects visible on Saturday . It certainly was very uijjustifiahle conduct andthey were bound to punish- ; but in the hope that the offence would not be again repeated , he would only he on this occasion subjected tQ a slight penaltr . JFined os . and 5 s . costs . Will ithe believed that after this decision the . governor should think proper virtually to declare he . approved of the

      masters heartless conduct ? This is , however , the fact , no -sooner had the parties left the court-than the poor hoy was expelled from the establishment , and left to wander without house or home end during the nights of Saturday and Sunday to sleep ia an old steam-boiler , on the Dock-green . Hia uacle stated the latter case to ; the bench on Monday and said that he had to provide for the boy ' s aged graBdtnother , and some of his brothers and / sisters and as he is only a woriing . mac , it was oiit of his > power to ' .. do more . The Mayor said he had no power to order them to admit him into the workhouse , but he would send an officer down wHk him and recommend them to do so .

      CUTTJNS AND Stabbing . —Charles Glenn , a youth who , though not twenty years , of age , is well known to die Police and Magistrates , was plaeed ^ in the dock ., . charged with the following brutal assault . Catharine Coulson , who was so lame as to be unable to stand during the investigation , stated that she was a married womanj and that on the previous evening , she was going along . W aterworks-street , when she met the prisoner and another youag man eating . crabsj the young men as they past , put a crab claw- in her face , to which she did not pay any attention . Glenn then immediately struck ajnnfe into her thigh , and , withdrawing it , made off , and went into a cook shop . The wound hW

      muca , and , as soon aa she could , she gave informal taon to th ^ police , and the prisoner was apprehended He demed . having a knife about him , but , on searching him , the one with which he inflicted the wound was found m his pocket . Mr . Pullumy surgeon , had seen the wound , and pronounced it to be af ivefy serious character . Prisoner said , if he had done ? he was very gorry ; he hoped the > court would fbr-S , 7 "JlSf ^ ^ "* % r > nd four small brothers Of h ^ r , % 8 u ?

      OLDHAIW . Socialism . —Last week , Mr . Easeby placarded our town , stating that in an address to he delivered by him on Tuesday night last , in the largest room in this town , Socialism should be refuted . The meeting took , place , was numerously attended , several . hundred persons of both sexes being present . Mr . E . is a man of considerable talent , and a good speaker ; capable of doing either much gord or much harm by his oratorical powers . Instead , however , of coolly and candidly examining the fundamental principles of Socialism , and pointing out their errors or defects , he indulged in the most extensive vituperation ; called Mr . Owen an enthusiasta

      , visionary , an atheist , full of inconsistent conceits , and his system tending to universal licentiousness , and © very species of wickedness and misery . Mr . Lloyd-Jones requested Mr . E . to prove any one of the charges he had made against Mr . Owen or his system : desired him to read carefully , and consider well , the principles of that system , before he again exhibited himself in such a manner ; bid him to look at the present state of society , notwithstanding all the preaching and praying which had been done for the last 1800 years ; look to the present mass of misery in our gaols , our workhouses , our factories , and the habitations of the poor : see the vast mass

      of misery produced by our wars , by our litigations . See the vast expense of our army our navy , our police , and the whole host of clerical ministers of every denomination ; and after all , look to the thou-• sands of wietched prostitutes , debtors , criminals , paupers , and beggar ? , aad then say , what good your religion and your boasted law ' s have done for you People may profess religion , or what faith they please , but if they do not act in conformity therewith , all such-religion is vain ; is but as a gounding brass , or a tinkling cymbaL We , Socialists , mean to put a . final end to extortion and oppression ; to feed all the hungry , clothe all the naked , and remove . all complainings from our streets . —{ Correspondent . ) ~
