    A MlSEE . —I ) ied on Tuesday , in an apartment which he occupied nearly twenty years , in Tooke ' scourt , St . Luke ' s , James Calmer . . He was formerly in good circHmstances as a cheesemonger in Chatham , but about twenty-five years ago , having unfortunately failed , after msny fruitless endeavours to recommence business , he came up to London , and remained unknown to any of his friends , obtaining a livelihood by sweeping a crossing in the City-road . Out of his miserable earnings he laid by a certain snm daily , until it amounted to 10 s . which he exchanged ibr gold , and in a hole at the back of the fire-place , made by the removal of a br ' u-k , was

    depopited his treasure , amounting to £ 263 in halfsovereigns . He was a person of very singular habits , extremely dirty , and so penurious , that he would not even allow himself ( in his last momen's ) proper nourishment , his meals consisting of either latmeal porridge or potatoes , wiih very rarely a salt herring ; his room , into which he never permitted any one to enter , was a most miserable hovel ; in one corner a little straw and two old sacks served him for-abed , alog of wood for a seat , and a broken chair for a . table . He-was never known to speak to any person except his landlord , and then only to complain of the difficulty he had to obtain a sufficiency to pay his weekly rent . He continued bis usual avocations until within a fortnight of his death

    when finding his end approach , his health having been for some time rap idl y declining , he "wrote twice for his brother , who had been a shipwright in Sheerness Dockyard , bnt not receiving any anewsr to either ' of his letters , he sent for a man natned Heneessey , a shoemaker , who lodged in the nexi room , and in the presence of his landlord handed OTeT the ' wnole of Ws property to him , requesting him not to go to any great expense for his interment . He would not have any medical assistance , but at lait the landlord procured the attendance of a physician , when it was too late , nature being exhausted , and he expired , leaving behind him that , which in all probability might have prolonged his existence , or at least have rendered his latter davs more mm .

Opposition to the New Poor Law . —The first open manifestation of hostilities in this part of the country against the working of this measure , exhibited itself on Thursday , the 11 th instant , at Combe St Nkholas , which is about three miles from Chard , and forms part of the Chard Union . On the abovenamed day , Mr . Plowman , one of the relieTi-e officers , proceeded to that place with a cart laden with eighty loaves of bread for distribution amongst the poor ; and on his arrival a mob of nearly one hundred women-surrounded and npset the cart , kicked abont and itole all the bread , w-th the exception ' of five or six loaTes , and threatened to duck tbe reliering officer and deprive him of his life before he" got home . The baker ' s boy , who drove the cart , on attempting ^ to take away the bread from one of the women , got pretty well pummelled by the other * , insomuch that hew as very soon compelled to derist . Tie women ( only OBe of- whom could be identified ) were noisy and riotous , and were supplied with gin and beer ' from an inn , but by whom it cannot be ascertained .

    Deat ^ from Pugilism . ~ Two men , engaged in two different contests at Leicester , have lost their lives from being engaged in boxing matches . A % erd . ct of manslaughter last Monday was recorded in both cases .

    thirty degrees to the horizon , with their heads downwards , and pointing in different directions . The skull * , which an nearly half an inch . thick , were at nrst perfect , but were broken by the men in extricating them from the soil . Most of the other bones are broken , and much decayed ) but a few of them , a- ? well as the teeth , remain entire . The two skeletons found together -were enveloped in a black substance , about half an inch thick , resembling burnt straw , and by their ride was found a crock , about seven inches diameter , and nine inches deep , of un * burnt clay , containing a great number of small bones .

    ^ Brown Breab Joseph I—It would appear from tue following article in a Kilkenny paper , that among the constituents of Mr . Joseph Hume , there are at least some who see through and despise the humbug of the pat-on-the-back-and-keep-out-the-Tory policy , which has all but ruined the Liberal cause . " " We lent our humble aid to sustain the "Whigs , when their professions were so plausible and strong , some of their appointments so good , and the dread of a Tory Administration so great , that we apprehended the expulsion of "Whigs , from power would lead to civil war . But we have improved as a people ; we need -not now submit to "Whit ? trickery ; we need not dread

    now Tory hostility . Ko faction can crash 8 , 000 , 000 ; no power can curb the spirit of determination , of intelligence , of unity , that has at last got m amongst the ranks of Irish patriots . Therefore we believe the general cry throughout the country before the meeting of Parliament will be— ' Overboard with the Whigs , defiance to the Tories , hurrah for Repeal , and success to tbe people ! ' A few days smep , we said the Whigs were botches : the increasing insecurity of their position , owing to their own misconduct and treucherom manoeuvres , daily affords proof that they are botches , unwilling as unfit u > govern well . "fl * e confided in them long ; what have we got in return ? Answer , any friend of the Whigs

    —what have we got in return for our support of them ? A few appointments—some goad , others middling , and many bud . Look to the Magistracy —the ^ Whigs are reajiyoinling the parsons ; loot to tbe Northern Yeomanry—they are not disarmed ; look every where , and see how little has been changed . "We must try a new experiment ; and that is , to pu / l no longer in the same boat with the Whigs . Let them be flung overboard , and we shall work the gallant vessel into safe harbour by the strength of ' our right arms , ' labouring unaided at the oars . " Kilkenny Journal .

    DR 3 ADFI 7 L SHIPWRECK , AND LOSS OF TS ' lNE Lives . —Intelligence was received on Tuesday , at the Underwriters' Rooms in Liverpool of another most disastrous wreck on the south-west coast of Irt-land , by which the loss of nine lives has been caused , and property to a very considerable amount de « -troye « . Full particulars of the wreck have not yet transpired , and the only information to be relied upon was conveyed in a letter to the owner of the vessel , G . Ghrote , Esq ., a Liverpool merchant , by which it appears that the Lady Charlotte , which mailed

    from Callao on the 1 st of July , laden with a valuable cargo , had struck on the rocks at the entrance of Long Island harbour , at the bottom of the bay . The captain , John Burton Gill , and eit ? ht person * , perished . One of the crew only survived , and it appears that he had been upon the rocks more than nine hours , in a state of exhaustion , before any as .-istance could be rendered to him . The Lady Charlotte is reported to be in from two to three fathoms of water , . and it is hoped that some part nf the cargo , consisting of wool , hides , &c , may yet be recovered .

    Hurricane .-On Sunday night , after the very heavy rains which visited the metropolis , a hurricane of great violence succeeded , which continued without intermission all night . We regret to say that ¦ very extensive damage has been the consequence of the storm in all parts of London and the suburK « . It is not too much to sa y that the howling of the wind , the repeated falling of stacks of chimneys , and the dislodging of roofs of houses and tenement ^ ' caused the greatest alarm , amounting to terror amon" the inhabitants , and many thousands passed a sleepless night . To recount a tithe of the casualties whi ^ h have occurred would be impossible . The streets at

    day break were in many places covered with broken tiles , slates , and chimney pots . Notwithstanding the violence of the tempest , very little damage was done on the river , a circumstance which is to be artributed to the increased security of the taoerisgnuoys and chains recently laid down by the city authorities . Several steamers due on Monday did not arrive , and there is no doubt that the hurricane of the preceding night has caused their detention . The mast fearful accounts of losses at sea reached town on Monday evening , but until the authentic particulars are received from the agents of Lloyd ' s it would do no good to give publicity to all the rumours in circulation .

    Masquerades in Prison . .- A Sussex paper s = 2 ys , ' At the Quarter Sessions for the Eastern ^ division of Sussex , last week , a conversation took place relative to a recommendation of the previous Sessions , that every prisoner would be allowed to weara linen mask , to be provided by the gaoler . M . Donavan opposed the plan , which be thought would take away from punishment one of its greatest stings , aud throw over the proceeding an air of ridicule , which would turn the whole into burlesque . Mr . Hazlewood was in favor of the mask ; for many a prisoner who had formed the determination to amend his life would , if not allowed to cover his face , be liable to be recognised by his fellow prisoner * , in cia ^ equence of which his resolution of amendment would be rendered nugatory . Finallv , it was

    agreed that the application should be made to the Home Secretary , requesting that be would grant permission to use the linen mask in the gaol .

Gann , of -VMtstable , in searching the remaining part of the wreck , which is Frill considerabl y under water , discovered a \ mx containing dollars ; this was not delivered to the proper authorities , but the crew shared about £ 80 value each man .

    Smuggling by a Mail Guard . ^ Richard Butler , the guard of the Dover mail , appeared recently before the Dover magistrates , to answer an information at tbe instance of Mr . Cotton , collector of customs , charging him with smuggling . Wm . Edds , an excise officer , stated that on September 18 th , he was informed that the guard ef the mailcoach would take up some blond lace . When the mail came up he . told defendant , who was on the hind boot , that he had information against him . The coach waj » opposite the p ^ st-office . Tbe defendant seemed as if he would not hear ; but witness insisted on searching . Defendant then opened theboot , took

    out two carpet bags , which he threw into the street , saying , " Is that what you want ? " Witness then gotnp to see if there were any more , but there was not . On examination of the bags their contents were found to be blond lace , which they seized . All the passenger * disowned tbe bags . The defendant denied that he knew of the bags being in tbe boot . He was fined in the ; -mitigated penalty of £ 181 7 s ., or to be imprisoned until the fine be paid . The r aagirtrates , on tbe- £ 7 trand * of < tke good character the defendant had hitherto bome , promised to TeeotninenJ a further mitigation of the penalty , and also to recommend tbe defendant should not be deprived of his situation at the post-office . He was conveyed to gaol in default of payment . .

Her friends kept a clo » e watch over ' her , to preveut any unfortunate circumstance's that might ensue Three days ago the lady , escaping tor a few minutes from their vigilanco , rushed down stairs into the court-yard , precipitated herself into a deep well belonging to the house . A man immediatelv descended to her assistar . ee , but it was too late , and he brought her up only a corpse .

The poor . creature ,: it appealed , had not sufficient time to get out of the way , and in her anxiety to save her stall , she fell ' under ihe f ,, re wheel of the waggon . The driver 'pulled up on the instant , or she must have been killed on the spot . She was conveyedin a state of insensibility to the Westminster Hospital without thu slightest " hope oi recovery .

    Another Scaffold Accident . — On Saturday morning a serious accident occurred at th « - new church now building in Lucas-street , Rotherhithe . Five men were employed on a scaffold at the southwest corner of the edifice , when the putlock fixed in the wall save way , and the scaffold boaids on which they were standing fell from beneath their feet , in consequence of winch two of them , Mr . Welling , the clerk of the works , and Michael Sullivan , a labourer , were precipitated to the ground , and fell amons the stones and bricks used in the construction of the

    church , some of the boards falling upon them . They were picked up in an insensible state , and most seriously bruised . Mr . Welling was taken to his own home , and it w .-. s scsme hours before he recovered his ¦ st-nses . Sullivan , who was the most injured , and who , it is feared , has received a concussion of the brain , was removed to the hospital . Both sufferers are in a very bad state . Three other men who were on the scaffold saved themselves by clinging to the coping of the church , until their fellow-lab « virers relieved them .

    Body Found . —On Saturday afternoon , between four and five o'clock , the body of a man , apparently between fifty and sixty years of age , was found on the shore at the south side of London Bridge . He has every appearance of having been a caulker , bt :: rg dressed in a blue frock and trowsers . In his pockets were found a knife , tobacco-hox , and rule , and a note desiring him to proceed to Lambeth to work . From the appearance of the body the unfortunate man is supposed to have been in the water b it a very few hours . The body awaits a Coroner ' s Inquest .

    Imprisonment qf a Printer , —John Teuton , a printer , was tried yesterday week , in the Central Criminal Court , on a charge of conspiring with other persons to extort money irom the Marquis of Down .-hire , by the publication of a pamphlet entitled " The Secret Hwtory ; " professing to detail circum . « tance 3 relating to the late Lady Mary HiH sister to the Marquis , which , it was said , would drive the Downshire family out of society . The material * of the pamphlet were furnished by a German , named Reirerhoffer , who had travelled on the Continent with Lady Mary Hill and her mother as courier . It was proved that the design of the prisoner and his accomplices was to obtain mone y from Lord Downshire . Reiterhoffer had told Teuton that he should get £ 5 , 000 . Placards were exhibited in

    the streets , at the expense of the prisoner , with the words " Faux pas of the Marquia of Downshire , and scandalous conduct in high life . " The evidence was conclusive : Teuton was convicted , and sentenced to fifteen months' imprisonment , and to give security in the sum of £ 200 for good behaviour for five years . The scandalous circumstances alluded to on the trial are not giyen in the published evidence . Destructive Fire . —Another incendiary fire baa taken place at Wye , ; Soon after twelve on Monday night , as a person residing in that town was passing Captain Davis ' s farm , he perceived flames ' issuing from ' two of his " stacks . An alarm was immediatel y given by him , and an express sent for the A . hford engine . A large number of persons from Asbford , Wye , and the surrounding parches hastened tn tW spot , and , on the arrival of the

    engine , exerted thtyiselves in attempting to subdue the flames , which , aftei the lapse of some time , they succeeded in doing , but not ^ til near iv ^ ho | e of the two stacks ( consisting ol clover and wheat ) had been destroyed . It wlas doubtless . the object and wish of the wretch who fired the property to burn all the stacks and premises , those which were consumed being closely surrounded b y five others , and also a large range of outbuildings . Fortunatel y , however there wasno wind , and this circumstance , in addition to the exertions of those present , prevented the sacrifice which must otherwise have happened . During the fire a . person was appreher-ded ^ su ? ' _ pic-ion , but he having given a satisfactory accoui * of himsolf Was afterwards liberated . The property , we are happy to faTXi ) was jnSure ( 1 ; n the Norwich , TfficS and te" ^ V of it amounted to about £ 300 . No one is at present it , custodv as beihe

    n « K V ACCID ENT ON THE RlVEK , = 0 fl ^ following fatal accident happened on the rivrr' ft Sg l , n r yeaw ° » ^ ; mi Charles Gray , that he and two of hi * friends' uamed James Green and George Harden , printer and carpenter , riming in Union-street j Borough , agreed to take a boat and row as far a « Putney They then went and hired a boat near Blackfriars-bridKe and proeeeded ^ up the river very pleasantly until MiLf * ^ T ' *? ° ' « terSea , but on the M . ddiesex shore , when Harden commenced rocking the boat about , and it being a very small and " crank " wherry , it capsized , and they were all precipuated

    into tne warpr . fi-rputi imm ,, j :. i 1 .. __ v '« »» into the water . Green immediatel y sank , and Harden clung for a few moments to the boat , when hr ^ T ^ l ^' - J a Very e * P * rt swimmer reached the shore m safety . There being no boats in sighr , not the least assistance could be rendered to the two unfortunate young men . Gray proceeded to a public-house close by Thames-bank , ^ whence having dried his clothes , he proceeded home . It appears that the two young men who had been drowned were the worse for liquor , they having stopped and drunk at several public-houses on their way up the river .

    Sudden DEATH . -Colonel Eggerle , » f the artillery , on the retired list , met with his death a few lays ago at Colmar , in the following : deplorable manner : —He had descended into his cellar without reflecting on _ the danger to which He was exposed from a quantity of carbonic acid gas which escaped irom some new wine in a state of fermentation . Alter ascendng a few steps of a kdder , he was seized with a sudden fainting fit , felt backwards , broke his spine and one of hi * legs , and was killed on the spot . The calotel , as some of . our readers may r < collect , was one of the witnesses who gave evidence before the Court of Assizes of the Lower Rhine on the trial of Prince Louis Napoleon . It was he who introduced Colonel Vaudrey to Prince Louis Napoleon at Baden .

    Coining and Passin g Counterfeit Shillings . — Ths manufacturers and utterers of base coir , appear to have been lately active in the neighbourhood of Chelmsford . Last week - suspicion was excited as to the proceeding * of a man who had been lodging at the house of a man named Watson , on the Wharf . The curiosity of his landlord was first awakened by his having a fire in the room , anj bring busily engaged the greater part of the day ; and Mrs . Watson having found a counterfeit shilling

    between the bed and the raa-t a-s , and seen gome pieces of metal in the room , th .- suspicions were communicated to Mr . Newman , the constable , and he immediatel y laid a plan for his detection and apprehen s ion . I his plan was to have been carried int " effect on Sunday last , but on the previous daj the fellow suddenl y dacamped , after having circulated many bad shillings in the neighbourhood , and passed to one tradesman a gilt sixpence for a halfsovereign . — Chelmsfurd Cl . ronice .

    VVooiER .- A very distressing accidenttook place in this neighbourhood on our lair nignt . A miller a young man , left W ' ooler at five o ' clock in the afternoon , m a gig , accompanied with a ' joung * -omaii as his intended bride . They arrived at Caldstream and were married . On returning home , about tew o ' clock , near Cornhili , they upset the szig , and the bride was run over b y some carts which were endeavouring to keep up with his gig . She vas killed on the spot , the cart * having passed over her breast and h « ad .

    Incendiarism . —Another incendiary fire occurred on Mondaj night lasr , between 10 and 11 o ' clock at that devoted place Chilton , near llsey , by which the whole of a bean rick and a straw rick , the property of Mr . G ^» ddard , wer « wholly consumed . From an inspection of the farm yard , which is inclose 1 b y a thatched wall close to which one ot the ricks lay , it was ascertained that the thatch oh that part of the wall w-hvre it stood had been set on fire and speedily communicated with the other rick . There were several wheat ricks in the yard which fortunately escaped destruction by the timely

    discovery ot the fire and being well drenched with water . The County Fire office engine from Messrs Tomkins and Harris , the agents for Abingdon , was as soon as possible on the , « pot , but befofe its arrival both ricks were consumed and further injury arrested . Not the slightest doubt exists in the mind of any of the inhabitants that the diabolical act was that of some incendiary , whose detection we hope ere long to have the happiness of recording . This is the fourth fire , that has occurred in this place within the last few months . We understand Mr . Goddard is fully insured .

    Robbery . —Samuel Greene , the lad who stole the cheque for £ 2499 9 s ., belonging to Messrs . Rothschild , was on Friday examined at the Mansion House . The prisoner , who is an extremely interesting-looking youth , confessed his guilt , and was remanded till Monday , when he will be fully committed for trial . The prisoner was a clerk in the house .

    The Northern Yacht , —The worst apprehensions have been realised with respect to this vessel ; the captain of a bri g , now lying in the Tyne , saw her go down within hail ot a Scotch smack , and he has reason to believe that every soul on board perished . She had a crew- of thirteen persons , and ten passengers , one of whom she Ian ed at North Sunderland . —Swnder / and Beacon Serious Accident . On Friday afternoon between two and three , a most serious accident occurred in King < land-road , by which two men were deprived of life and lour severely injured . It-appears that

    a new house had been erected in such a short period that the walls bad not sufficient time to settle . Two men , named Gregory and Harrison , were employed on the roof placing the weatherboards previous to slating , when the side wall suddenly gave way , and the roof fell in with them ; the ratters of the second floor having been ftarted from Their places by the receding of tbe wall , unable to bear the additional weight , fell with them to the first floor , where three joiners and two labourers were at w « rkj the whole mass falling upon them and burying them beneath . A great number of persons who had witnessed the accident were deterred from

    venturing to assist them , for fear the walls , which now assumed a most dangerous appearance , should fall . Atjength a | few men heroically volunteered , their services , notwithstanding the very precarious state of the building , to extricate the sufferers , whose groans had by this time become truly appalling from their perilous situation . After some time they succeeded in clearing away the broken woodwork , and ^ took the unfortunate men from the ruins ,

    Gregory and Harrison , we regret to say , lifeless . One man , named Wilkes , had his leg fractured , another sustained a concussion of the brain , and Wood and Farniield had several of their ribs broken . One man , who had been at work near the fireplace , on notice being given by the first crash , sought refuge in the chimney , and so escaped unhurt . The wounded men were immediately removed to the hospital in the most excruciating torments . The two man who were killed have left large families .

    Afflicting Accident . —Between one and two o'clock on Monday afternoon last , the utmost excitement and consternation prevailed in that part of the Baysvrater-road which has recently been built upon to a very considerable extent , about half a mile from Cumberland-gate , in consequence of the falling of scaffolding , by -which no less than seven men have been , more or less , so frightfully mutilated , that little or no hope is ? entertained of any of them surviving . It appears that at the tirjae above stated a number of plasterers , in the erflploy of Mr . Poutsford , builder , South-wharf , Paddington , were at work on a scaffold between

    fifty and sixty feet in height , opposite one of the lofty mansions recently erected ia Oxfordro ^ uare , when a portion of the cornice fell , which breaking the putlog of the scaffold , tke whole gave way carrying seven of the workmen to the ground . Immediately on the accident taking place , vast numbers of persons hurried to the spot , when a scene of the most shocking description was witnessed ; the seven Unfortunate men were lying in different directions , ^ Wible , and more or Its * mutilated * .

    LETTER FROM ONE OF THE COTTONSPINNERS . We have been favoured with the following letter by the kindness of a friend , for insertion in ourpaper 11 is from Richard M'Neil , one oi the h " ve who were unjustly sentenced to seven years' transportation at the late trials relative to the Cotton-spinners' strike . It displays talent of no mean order . , Justitia Hulk , Sept . 9 , 1838 . My Dear / :- — , Your powerfully written and , anxiously looked for letter of the 12 th , came to hand , on Saturday the 18 th ultimo . I need scarcely inform yon , that it was the source of many a melancholy ; yet pleasing reflection . Melancholv at the retroot

    spection our altered position , and pleasing to reflect * that , however changed our circumstance * may be , I am not forgotten by the friendof my youth , in whose company 1 have spent many a happy hour ! How miraculous is the change a few years produces in onr best and fondest affections ! Then to our yonrig and unsophisticated miuds , life seemed a delicious dream , that would last till the silver cord was nipt asunder . ' Now , sage experience has taught us , that the sober realities of life , is something like Pandoras box , containing all the physical ills that flesh is heir to . Still , my dear- —it is the part of true philosophy to rise snperior to the ills of life , by dwelling , as far as possible , on the sumiy side oJf humsinity by finding " good in everything . " Thus

    we keep the rmndin a healthy state of vigonr , and cause the thousand streams of our bygone affectiong to flow back in Alpine torrents upon the heart . You remind me of Tan ' s Coffee-Room * , once our favourite howff . Many ' s the time , indeed , we have discussed poetry and politics there , along with toddy and toasts . hoJ forgetting matrimony and vwffms ; but , alas ! ihe jollifications , with all the maddening glee b' life ' s young dream , is assuredly gone for ever , 'leaving nothing behind but melancholy and pleasing regrets . 1 have been greatly pleaded at the de < criptiorl yoti have drawn of the march of liberty and literntura throngbout theland .

I rejoice to hear of the works of the "Great unknown " coming out in so cheap a form ; they will improve , not only the taste , ' but the : head and heart of all who make them , their study . It is , indeed , my dear friend , by * n intimate acquaintance with works , of a political and literary nature , that we can refine our sentiments , and taste , and embellish humaa nature , which enables us to taste , in adverse circum-, stances , that most exquisite of enjoyrnenis— -merital exercise .

I see , from a letter we had yesferdav from our indefatieable friend , An ? ns Camp hpfl , that the political atmospbere Is in a Mghly excited state—that Toryism andWhiggi ^ m has had some fearfnl istruggles for supremacy . Though a Radical to the heart ' s core , I should rejoice to see the Tories coming into power , fi > r at least a twelver month ; it would oriiig things to a cr i s , and most assuredly would adyance the cause of genuine Radicalism . ..
