The boy , naturally enough , laughed , upon which the monster seized him , and placed Ms head iu the boiling water , and , after holding it there for a second or two , dropped the boy in altogether !

      toal payment government of a sum of £ 45 , 000 out of a single estate . It is an extraordinary fact , and presents a striking contrast to the will of the late Lord Eldon , which occupied forty-eight closewrirten skins of parchment , that this will is contained on one side of a sheet of letter paper . Mr . Holford was but twenty-two years of age , and unmarried . With , the exception of the late Mr . Rothschild , and Mr . Rundell , of the well-known firm of Rundell , Bridge , and Rundell , goldsmiths , of Lndgate-bill , the stamp duty upon , tbe upper value , a million , has seldom of late been called into operation , £ 15 , 000 being the highest probate duty . —Morning Chron .

      The National Movement . Public Meetings . —On Saturday evening last , there was a numerous out-door meeting at Greenside , about seven miles up the Tyne from Newcastle , on the south side cf the river . Commodious hustings were erected ; the Winlaton band , which handsomely volunteered its services , was in attendance ; whilst an assemblage of some two thousand stalwart men , and a vast concourse of females , showed that even in the quiet of retirement , the hand of the oppressor is felt , and the hearts of Englishmen are rising up to resist it . The chair was taken at sis o ' clock by Mr . Foster , and the meeting was ably and appropriately addressed by several of the most active and

      intelligent of the working men of , Newcastle , and resolutions were unanimously passed condemnatory of the proposed agitation of the Corn Laws , asserting the principle of Universal Suffrage , and pledging the meeting to co-operate with the Northern Political Union in carrying out that principle inte full and complete effect . Seldom have we seen greater enthusiasm than was evinced by the people of that nei ghbourhood on the occasion ; and when darkness brought the proceedings to a close , a large procession was formed , headed by the band , for the purof

      pose conveying the Newcastle deputation on their way to Winlaton to . attend a meeting advertised to be held in that town the same evening . About half-past eight the deputation reached Winlaton , where it wasfonnd that the Theatre , in which it was intended the meeting should be held , would not be able to contain a tithe of the vast assemblage , it was therefore adjourned to an open square where a flight of stone stairs formed an excellent platform for the speakers . After excellent speeches similar resolutions were unanimously agreed to . —rNorthern Liberator .

      The Monastery of St . Bernard . — The Monk Macarius , of whom we , Bometime ago , had occasion to speak in connection with his mission of of charity on behalf of the Monastery of Mount Melleray , in Ireland , is now engaged on a similar expedition , appealing to the sympathies of the benevolent on behalf of a new establishment - Trappite Monks , at Mount St . Bernard , ifi Leicestershire . The monks have already brought into excellent cultivation from 40 to 50 acres of goot land ; and they anticipate by the proceeds from such

      cultivation materially to innrease their daily donations to the poor of their neighbourhood , who already ¦ , from sunrise to sunset , are to be found receiving alms at the gate of the Monastery of Mount St . Bernard . We understand that Lord Stourton and several other catholic noblemen and gentlemen have received Mr . Macarius -with great - affability , and have subscribed very literally to the object of his mission . 13 e has also succeeded in collecting upwards of £ 20 from the friends of Catholicism in Leeds .

      Ingenious Fraud . —J . Willis was charged with the following fraud : —The prisoner , it appears , is one of a numerous gang of fellows , who are at present going about town hawking coals , and by an ingenions contrivance committing the most heartless frauds on the lower and middling classes . The fellows offer the coals , which appear of a good quality , for considerably less than they can be " got elsewhere , in order to induce persons to purchase them ; arid should a hundred be ordered they pretend to have but one

      weight , so as to be obliged to make two draughts of tbe quantity . The first part they throw into a sack , with a false side to it , and so contrived that threefourths of tbe next half hundred though shot into the mouth of the sack , falls into the waggon again ; The parties with the waggon , on the trick being discovered , made their escape ; but as the policeman was remoyeing it to the Green-yard , the prisoner made his appearance , and having claimed it as his , was taken into custody . Tbe exhibition of the sack ' in the

      office created seme laughter , and it was evident from its contrivance that the purchasers received vety little more than half the quantity they paid for * The prisoner was ordered to find bail to answer any charge that might be preferred against him at the session . Effects of Gin . —AtMarlborough-streefc office , London , an old woman , named Elizabeth W hite , was charged with being drunk , and with having created a disturbance in . the street !? . ' A young man of very respectable appearance come forward to give evidence against the woman . He said tbe woman at the bar was the mother , of himself and three other * ons , all of whom were establishing themselves in business , and each was likely to . have his property

      severely injured by the disg ' raeefulpropensity of their parent for gin . They jointly contributed a weekly sum towards her maintenance , and they had : even made arrangements with the par ish officers for the further support of their mother . Such , however , was her -unconquerable propensity for liquor , that she would spend every farthing she could / obtain at the gin-shop , and though clothed respectably one day , she would appear the next in rags , from having parted with her decent garments to raise money for more gin . When in a state of intoxication , she would make her appearance at one of her sons ' sho ps , , by her disgraceful situation , ahd her conduct , she would cause" a-riot ; * and thus create much injury to bis business . ; All her sons bad tiriiesout of number been subjected to this annoyance , ' and-it now had become necessary to ask the magistrate to 1

Was it not becanse a junto formerly exercised the privilege ^ of placing men in the House ofCommons , and although theysucceeded in aiding others to destroythat junto , had riot amanvheaded monster token its place ? Had taxation got

      removed ? . Were their homes inore happy ? fp as the monster of intemperance done away with ? Were their electors more pure than they were before ? When he looked around him did he hot look around on some workmg men there who had admitted to him , at the last election , that they dared not use their franchise ? -Cheers . —Were there not thousands of tradesmen who dared riot use their elective franchise in Liverpool ? Did not this principle extend into the mass as broad as the basis of society ? If , in wishing lor Universal SuflVage , they were wishing for it lor the working- man only and for none other , then would their be

      cause an unholy and unjust one and they ought not to prosper . But they sought nothing tor themselves which they were not willing to give to others ; they asked for nothing but a participation m _ what was every man ' s birth-right . —Cheers . —In asking for their rights they would take no less , lheir reasons were the following : —the boroughmongers shared in the management of the pursestnngs of the nation ' s wealth for an indefinite period . The phalanx got broken , arid the people in tbe joy of the moment consented to do what they ought not to have done—consented to sacrfice the principle of Universal Suffrage , in the horiethat thv *

      power they thus gave over would be used with patrioUsm , -and tbac relief would be granted to the mass of tlie community . They had had a fair trial . Yes , those who called themselves Reformers , defended the worst of the former abuses , and it was high time tor them to take their own aftairs into their own hands . As neither of the aystems had done them justice , let them do it for themselves ; He concluded with moving "that this meeting fully approves of the plan for the outhne ^ of an act to provide for the just representation of the people in the United Kinedom , in -the Commons' kouse of Parliament , in accordance with the principle set forth in the National petition , " Mr . Cobbett next presented himself . He said , he had to return his thanks to their committeewho

      ; had done him the honour to appeal to him as the soconder of that resolution . And though he certainly dwrnot go fhere expecting to be appointed to any snch honpurable oflice , be had , since he had been at that meeting , found sufficient whereon he thought it wa 8 ] ais duty to address to them : his opinion as to their conduct—Hear ;—The principles of the People's Charter to which that rfisohition referred , Were Universal Suftrage , Annual Parliaments , Vote by Ballot ,- No Property Qualification , arid the Payment of Wages xo Members of Parliament . That -was the object of that meeting—that was the object for which many thousands hau met there that day , arid that was the object for which at least 3001000 had

      met on Kersal-moor the day before . That was the object which they must follow up , determining never to be swnyed or deterred by tbe crotchets of those friends who might pretend to join them- The Whigs , the hurnamty-mongers , the crochet-mongers , tne . tee-totallers , the abplition-of-slavcry humbugs , the education people had alljoiried them when theybad taken the business into thsir own hands , as they did now , end when tlie . j ; had ^^ joined , them , ( tlie Rauicals ) and gotmto power "ftrbugli theinf they ( the Whigrs ) had always sacrificed them ; What was the trick which was played off on them on the passing of the Reform Bill ? ' ¦ They [ the Whigs ] , talked to them about everything Unt those rights of which , thev

      stood in need . They [ the Wliigs ] had talked to them of education , of abstaining from spirituous liquors , of freeing the blacks , of repealing the Corn Laws , and of repealing the free trade of literature in France . —Hear . —They had talked , to them about everything but giving them a fair share in the produce of their own labour—Cheers . —They nnght honour a man who honestly disa ^ eedwith ' them : they might honour a man who said he believed their principles to be wrong and his own to be right : but they must judge of isucli a man : before they hononred him for his conduct ; and when tliey found the conduct of any one man , or thps conduct of any party ol men , ( addressing Mr .

      nously g , basei , mean / and deceitful—Great cheering and . waving of hats . interrupted the conclusion of the sentence . —They had got there before them two Whig missionaries- ~ orie who looked like a gentleman , and oiie who did not . —Great laughter and cheers ^ -Possibly the latter . might Be the truth : but he did not lcno \ y sufficiently of them ; and he thanked XJod he hoped he : never should .
