What is to become of all the able-bodied men out of employ now is a question the whole wisdom of the Board « nnot solve ; for a spirit of discontent and hatred of their present condition is rife among the people and cannot Ibe allayed mill something more congenial to their comfort than the Poor Law Bill has cone for their present relief .

      State op Tradr—Ths state of trade in this district is daily becoming most alarming—thousands of Kbourera are out of employ , and nnmbers are conatantl y falling out , and are in the otmost want and misery . Banknipts and mannfactnrerse are stopping their works daily ; and if some relief is not given to stimulate the coantry to hope , it is doubtful the case will be of the most appalling nature . A'l branches of the woollen trade are quite at a stand ; and ttisiaiicy trade is fast approaching to a similar or-worse situation . :

      HALIFAX . . Melascholt Affuction : —Sarah Ambler , aged about twenty years , daughter of Mr . John Ambler , of Wheatley , and late of TTalifaiif , who was living with Mr . Joseph Blakey , of this town ^ as servant , on Thursday last complained of having a dizziness in her head , on which Mrs . Blakey recommended her to bed and rest herself , and perhaps she would be better ; Lowever she put on her bonnet and shawl and set off home . On the morning following , finding she did not return , they sent on to her father ' s to enquire after her , when it was discovered she had never arrived , and that they had heard nothing of her . On hearing this , the father set out immediately to make inaniries

      raspectmg her ; but after spending the whole night , returned without hearing anything of her . She was seen to go into the HaU Yard , at Birk ' s Wood , on . Friday in the afternoon by a boy , and thrown herself head first into the ¦ well ; out of .-vehioh she" was extricated immediately b y the coachman , and afterwards brought forward in a cart to Gaol-lane , in this town , where a person happening to know her , she was conveyed into his mother ' s house . A fever was the consequence , and the poor girl died on Monday evening br ^ Tuesday morning last ^ nnder the friendly care of the . person who , in compassion , had taken her into their bouse , as she continued in that state not fit to be removed to her father ' s houge .

      XTrDDBMDEt .- * -For these few weeks back , the nightly repose of the peaceful inhabitants of this village , near / Halifax , has been disturbed by the ringing of the church bell by some invisible handalways commencing on the Friday nights . Two men of stouter hearts than the ress of their neighbours , determined on finding out the cause , went to the church oh one of the nights in question , and entered the l > elfrey ; but the invisible stranger , nothing daunted bv the presence of the two living viators , commenced the nsual ding don /; in fulfilment of his mission . After looking unutterable things at each other for some time , and praying that they might be conducted with safety out of the church , they took their departure , satisfied that this serious matter portended some future evil , and promising never a ^ ain to offer their company in the presence of a spirit . Since this , the visits have been discontinued : and the inhabitants have been left to

      take their repose as usual , without any interruption from the ding dong . " ' Public Mketikg . —At a public meeting , held in we Radical Association Room , Jail-lane , the following resolution waB unanimously agreed to : — "_ That ibis meeting , having contributed to the Defence Fund of Joseph Itayner Stephens , do hereby agree that the surplus of the said fund shall be appropriated to the defence of the Welsh Patriots .

Joseph Stocks , at tha Brewery , Catharine Slack , N ^ rthowram , near -Halifax , was broken into by some villains unknown , whose object appears to have been a destruction of property as well as robbery . After breaking open the door and different locks in the writing-desks , &c . they proceeded to knock down the side stones and do other damages . Fortunately , they only succeeded in obtaining a tew shillings . This is the third attempt made upon these premises by nightly vagabonds .

Mr .

He would suggest that a reading-room and library should be formed , and a lecture occasionall y ^ delivered ; gentlemen who were subscribers should have tickets of admission to give to those men whom they could recommend . Mr . S . then entered a little into detail as to the mode in which he would sugjreHt the dberations

      of this lnstitutioa ahoold be carried on , and g&id ho had several promaes of books and ropscriptions in money towards carrying on this object . He then alluded to the subject of ward meetings , and concluded by saying that he thought the plan he had suggested of a society for the political information of the poor , if carried out , would go a great way in reducing the number of those wretched men , the Chartists , who , ' through ignorance , were led on to commit deeds which , had they been better instructed , would never have been thought of .

      begged to ptopoae the health of that much esteemed gentleman . Drunk , withfour times fonr . Mr . T . B . Smith responded to the toast .

      Sbicidr ^^ CW Saturday last , an inquest ww i'eld oh -the ; body of Thomas Spence , a woel-combvr , Bjpward 8 ^ 6 f thirty : years of agei residinr in ^ WeiV lington-street , who put a period ^ to : hiserfBtenceoit the Friday morning , by hanging ; himgelf . It appeared that he had shewn , symptoms of derangement about a fortnight previous , although he had evinced nothing in his ¦ conduct to lead to the idea that he meditated self-destruction . He was unmarried , and resided m th his father : and two brothers , and was that night lying in the ohamber by" himBelf ^ whon on the Friday mornin g , one of the brothers thinking he laid longer than usuajfi went to the stair bottom to call Win up . On calling out rcpeatedlyand receiving no answer , he went iiDstairs

      . and . discovered him standing on the floor , quite dead , having contrived to strangle himself with his neckcloth , ; which he had tied ltd > aii article called a kickrupj used by combers in ¦ weighing their wool . When discovered , he had been dead several hpurs , and such had been his determination to commit the deed , that he had to stoop considerably in order to effect , his ; object . He was a very quiet , sober , hard-working man , and it is supposed that he was driven to the act by the fear of want , and the gloomy prospects of his situation , which have lately been aggravated by a scarcity of work , and the necessary cares of preserving a home , and providihg for his father , who has been a long time helpless , and is now oh his death-bed . The Jury , as a jmatter of conrse , gave their verdict that he committed the act

      wbue labouring under a fit of insantity , although thereis ho doubt that the insanity was produced by the present : wretched state of the industrious class , which had made him prefer self-destructibn to a life of unrequited ^ toil and niisery . PreviPus to his funeral ^ which took place on the Sunday following , the members of the society of Odd Fellows , to which he belonged , received a notice from the Churchwardens , that no kind of form ¦ or ceremonies used by them in the interment bl their members , would be allowed , the burial service of the Church being confflde * ed ; q : uite sufficient , and that if they made any attempt to ; dispbey , they would subject themselves to a prosecution m the Ecclesiastical Court . The members of that body , who had i ntended to bury him with all thei honours of . their Society ; were consequently compelled to desist . :

      { From \ a Liverpool Paper i ) -: \ , v We have been furnished w ith some very interesting detafls ' of th , «^ rieserTatibtt pf twenty-fpur beings from a watery grav ^ thrpa gh the admirable conduct of Captain Collins , the commander of the ship x'ioscius , which arrived at Liverpool this day . Thp f ^ cta ate furnished by an intelligent passenger . It appears that on the Sth ' of December , p ; ¦ & .: Captain Cojiins fell in with- ihewreck ofa ship called the jScotkv , bound from Qufebec to Glasgow , borden 800 tons , laden with timber , water-logged , in lafc . 46 , long . 3 v 1 . On seeing signals of distress flymg they altered their course , and bore dpwn upon her , and on the ; JRofdut ^ apprpaching her Captain Collina hailedhfe \ and the answer was , " We

      areWaterlogged , Mriih 17 feet water in the hoid . " The pr »» nt reply of Captain Collins wasi'" : Pot * out your bosrts if you want to come on board , v A cheer from the people of the sinking veiaael fbllbwed , and the thrilling cry arose as of men im the extremest peril suddenly restored to life and ' hbpei Every person waa instantly upon the poop , a ^ an effort was made to approacathe Scotia , but the-water-logged vessel was quite unmanageable . She pitched heavily ,, as if she Would have ^ nedpwn heaping as the e « w swept over her . Hermastshad bee * . outaway to « as « her , and the poop deck , Where the crew Were congregated , seemed -the oniy place of safety left thenu In attempting to near she etaggcred dows upon the Rosciiti , which was compelled to make sailtb set

      put of the way . The Bea was then very ^^ heavy . The Itosciui again lay-to iabout a mikr from the Scotiai Night came on ,, and the unfortunate vessel was loBt sight of aitogetherv About six o ' clock € apt , Collins hoisted a lantern j and the : light was immediately answered by the Scotia . It was the general opinion that one of the boats had putoff and had been swamped , and that the surviTOra had determined to wait till the mbrBing before ^ ano ther attempt Was made ; but this conjecture happily proved unfounded . Indeed , it seemed impossible fpr any boat to live in such a sea . At seVeao ' clock , p . m ., however , cheering was heard in tha- direction of the jSto / fa . It was evident that the people had left the sinking yesseli In the course of an hour the

      long poat ot the&ona , with eighteen mcn » was on the lee quarter of the Roscius ; and * by the adnurable arrangements and presence of mind of Captain Collins , were taken on board withpnt accident . The captain and five men still remained on board , and were preparing to put off in the jolly-boat , and in the course of half an hPiir she was seen , ^ and , with two pars only , gained the Rosaus , When the captain , crew , audpassettgera . were received on board they were worn out with continual exertion , and but for the providential discovery of their situation by Captain Collins , must have perished inevitably . A violent gale from the north-east set in soon after

      their preservation , which must have * rendered it utterly impossible for the people to have taken to their Ibpats . The sea , even before the gale , was making a clear brewh over her , and threatening to carry away her poop cabin , the last place of refuge , except the tops , where Water and provisi < ms had alreaay b " een stored , in ihe momentary-expecUtion of being compelled to abandon the deck . Captain Collins , as might be expected , was very anxious to arrive at Liverpool before the British Quern and too much praise it 13 impossible to award him for the skilful and seaman-likft manner in which ha effected the preservation of so many lives . : ¦

The coiBraander , Captfcin Scott , and the pfficers of the Vessel were on wore at the time , and there waa only the crew on board . They made

      the most vigorous efforts to smother the flames , but were unsuccegsful , and the ; fire gained upon the vessel with great rapidiiy . The alarm being beard by the guard on hoard of her Majesty ' s brig Jaen */ rf , she anchored near the point , and" intelligence was despatched to anpther of her Majesty ' s vessels , the Pelorus , lying at anchor seme distance off . Boats froin these yesselg , with the ships' engines , were e « nt to render asiistance , and reached alongside pf the ill-fated Lucretia , within a Very short period after the outbreak of ^ the fire . The Xwcrrtn * lying in the centre of the river , and in deep water , it was considered advisab ) e iit ; jcase she should sink , t * tew her on shore , which was gpeedily done by thb

      crevf « of her Maje 8 ty > ships Hsrafi and Peierus hauling her to . There i » very little doubt entertained tkat the flames might have been subdued , But unfortunately the knowledge of tbere being powder on board , caused the yeasel to be . quickly deserted . Feats being in ; circulation that the Xawretf * would blew up every moment , the immenae number of boats that had eome from shore were ardered awi y , iu * 4 her Ifajea ^' s prig Herald was brought ap to fire into her , in order if possible , to gcuttle her , as the only mean * of saving the yesselv , At about half-past three o ' elook the guns were poiateo and fired ^ The fir st ehpt Btrnpk ; the Liwretia between wind and water ,, just forward of the gangway , \ ta % the others iid littlei or rib good . Another

      attempt was made by the crew of the Pe / ortt « , who fired into her bows , but it w a * too late , the ship wa » , kard- agro ^» d , andt there was no hopes left . It was not till near five o ' cloek in the eveniing that the flames skowedthemselvM through the deck ; when that occurred , tke destruction of the vessel rapidly % n 8 ueo .
