      THE PAUPER'S DRIVE . THiaE ' s i grim one-horse hearse in a jolly round tretj So the cbnrdijwti a jasper 1 b going , I -wot : Theioid it is Tough , and tbe hearse hw no springs , And hark to tbe dirye that the sad driver sings : " Itattie bis bones oTer the stones ; He ' s only a pauper , whom nobodyowns !" Oh . "where are file mourners ? alas ! there are none ; He has leftnot a gap in the world now he * gone ; Hot a tear in the eye of child , woman , or man . To the *» ve with hia carcase as last as yoa can r Battle hia bones otbt the stones ; He ' s only a panper , whom nobody owns r

      What a jolting and creaking , and splashing and din . ' Tbe whip how it cracks ! and the wheels how they spin ; How the fiirt , right and left , oer the hedges is hurl'd ! The panper at length makes a noise in the world . ' •« Battle hisbenes over the stones ; He ' s only a panper , whom nobody owns ! "j Poor panper defunct ! be has made some approach To gentility , now that he ' s stretch'd in a coach ] He ' s taking a drive in a carriage at last ; Bat it -will * ot be long , if he goes on so fast . " Rattle his bones over the stones ; He's only a panper whom nobody owns !"

      Ton b umpkins . ' wbo stare at your brother convey'd , Behold -what respect to a cl » ddy is paid , And be joyful to think , when by death you ' re laid low , You've a chance to the graTe like a geraman to go . " Rattle his bones over the stones :

      He ' s only a pauper , whom nobody owns !" But a truce te this strain ; for my soul it is sad To think that a heart in humanity clad Should make , like the brutes , such a desolate end , And depart from the light without leaving a friend ! Bear softly his bones over the stones ; Though a pauper , he ' s one whom his Maker yet owns 2

      11 "WHO STOPPED THE CLOCK ?" A SOCTH SAXOX LEGEKD . "Who stopp'd the clock ? " bawled a wicked young wigbt After the Yiear with all his might , "Who heard the cry , As , riding by . The beautiful pile of St . - Peter ' s drew nigh . The dock lookM down , And its sable face "Wrinkled itself to a terrible frown At viewing the author of all its disgrace . Far tbe character cood of a clock you must know Is not to fctand « 51 ent , "but constantly go . The Vicar be heard the words it mutter'd , And which , he affirms , are not fit to be uttsr'd—Breathing of vengeance , Oirths , and spite—Quite a shock to tbe ea s of a Ticar polite .

      2 fo word did the Ticar deign in reply , But spurred his gallant mare Until that church he had quite passed by , When h& thought upon that dreaded cry Which lingered still in air " Who stopp ed the clock ?" Was a thundering shock Enough a staid man from Ms saddle to knock . * Again and again did he bear the sound—Dared mortal intrude With such language rude In a place too where parsons and police abound ?

      Twas impossible quite , It must be 3 sprite , Who owed to the Yiear a devillish spite . The Vicar his trusty horsewhip grasp'd And waited to see if any one pass'd . For his spirit was reused I trow—The offending mortal "is doomed to feel What tbe Vicar intends for his carcase ' s tool , Or else to experience " Solomon ' s seal " To make him wiser grow , And not to give vent to direst malignity , Nor dare to offend Vicarial diznity .

      Ha I what does he see ? Who ' s this passing by 2 By bell and by book ' tis a boy , And in the young vagabond ' s visage and eye , A mischievous gleam does the Vicar espy ! Tea , ' tis he that has dared to annoy The Vicar of B— , that mild , pious man . No Christian "would bear it , and no parson can . The thrashing is over—the Vicar goes home . ' He is silent and sad , and he dines all alone . ' He thinks of the clock , And then sips tbe hock , And the terrible trends still ran in his head , —

      And tbe Vicar beteketb himself to his bed ; But berfeepeth net , fora motley crew Disturb his slumbers quite—Of various forms , and ef many a hue Weretbe imps that the Vicar ' s enrtain drew , And gambolled in his sight , — And they montbed and they jabfeerM , they sung and theypray'd , And the heart of the Vkar was sorely dismayed , For at his bed-ride In chorus they cried Those terrible words that his spirit did shock , " You scaly warmi&t ! ' " Who stopp ed 1 h « dbek T * Leire-s .

But to the ' astonishment of all acquainted with tne facts , themagistrates adjourned the ease on the plea that she j teas not the id / e of Carr ! How that coUid affect the

      case we are at a loss to divine . However , a copy of the marriage register was produced , after a joornej of twenty niilea to procure it The case "was then resumed , and disposed © f , the magistrates only mulcting the disgusting -wretch in the sum of ten shillings , with an admonition eonehed thns—" we cannot allow such conduct I' Though we may differ politically from , -we , nevertheless , feel the greatest respect for the sitting magistrates , and cannoi refrain from making the enquiry , why the monster was not a * once dismissed from the oinee he has so much disgraced !

      BIRMINGHAM . —Unemployed Operatives . ~ I > -iEEF £ B £ ? rc £ of THE Polics . —A meeting of destitute working men was intended to be held on Gosta Green , last Monday , and at ten o ' clock , the hoar appointed , there was a small sprinkling of haggard-Jooking beings standing ronnd a bannei which called on the unemployed operatives to meet « i Gosta Green , every Monday , at ten o ' clock .

      msnj headed by an inspector , entered the meeting , aud insisted on its immediate dispersion . Some hesitation was evinced by the poor starving men , who expostulated with the inspector on the inhumanity of his conduct , but to no purpose ; they were compelled to move off . Mr . Edward Brown and Mr George White protested against the interference * and proceeded the magistrates , at th © Public Office , where Mr . Brown laid the case before them . He depleted the distress that existed amongst the working men , and pointed ont the penalties tbatwould be laid on them if they broke the law by either stealing or begging , which would be their only alternative in case they were not allowed to bring their case before the public . The magisirates declined interfering , and referred the case to Mr . Burgess , Chief Commissioner of Police . Messrs White and Brown then waited on the Chief

      Commissioner , and had a long conversation with him on the subject . They were informed by him that Gosta Green was a publio thoroughfare , and that meetings of any description would not be allowsd . The deputation complained of the injustice of the case , and pointed out the fact of other meetings being held on the same spot , and other obstruction ?'' which were not interfered with by the police , after which they left the office . The starving operatives afterwards paraded the town with their banner , and collected contributions from aU who chose to assist them , in tin boxe 3 , the proceeds o ? which were afterward * divided amongst those who walked in the procession The next meeting will be held at the Railway Station , Duddeston Row , at ten o ' clock on Monday next , when all who are ont of employ , or only partially employed , are requested to attend , as they will not be interfered with at that place .

During tbe four weeks , ending January 22 , 1842 , the number of applications for relief to the Bolton Benevolent Society amounted to 6 . 995 ; and the average income of the applicants was only 13 d . per head per week . Of these , 828 , have been rejected ., as not coming within the limits fixed by the society . Of the remaining 6 , 157 , who have been relieved , the averse

      income per head per week was only 1 l ^ d . All this is in addition to the relief granted by the guardians , which has increased enormously with the dulness ot trade .

He was most anxious to take time by the forelock , and get possession of his letters without waiting to travel to Liverpool And back . For this purpose the son of tbe deep presented himself at St .

The proportion to the population is five to a million 'annually , or one in 200 , 000 .

      The orioix of the discovery of gold ia the county of Wicklow is variously told . Tradition attributes it to a schoolmaster , who , in consequence of his perpetually wandering about the streams , was considered by his neighbours to be insanei , He grew gradually rich , however ; but , at length , the secret of his wealth became known , and a similar madness seized upon the whole population for many miles round the place where nature had deposited her treasure ., - ; ..:. ¦ . — .- ¦ . " ¦ . ¦¦ . •• _ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦¦ , ¦ .. .. - . . ; . ; Gross Extortion on the King of Prussia . —The Independanl of Brussels says that the owner of the Hotel des Bains , at Osten . d , has had the unconscionable impudence to charge the Kin # of Prussia , for stopping one night and breakfasting with his suite of twenty persons in that house , 5 , 000 f . ( £ 200 . ) It adds that the King could not , of course , stoop to bargain about the matter , and therefore submitted to the extortion .

      Not many nights ago , a man at Gateshead , who had laid down quietly in bed a few hours before , awoke and found himself at the bottom ; of a well seventy feet deep , but fortunately with only about four feet water in it . He had been dreaming that his landlady called him to draw some water , and obeying the supposed request in a state of somnambulism , be had fallen feet foremost down the well , almost miraculously escaping destruction . He was discovered in the morning by some one going to the well , and drawn up by the rope . A Gateshead paper is the authority for this tale .

      Thk " Fasting" Man . —Previously to Cavanagh ' s departure from this town ( Reading ) , ; on Monday , to appear at the Queen ' s Bench , this worthy was allowed an unlimited quantity of food ; on which occasion he proved that bis appetite is at least aB prodigious as his much-boasted "fasting" powers ; and on his arrival in London he made another meal , which would bave astonished any of the credulous believers " in his total ' abstinence from mortal food . " —Berkshire Chronicle . March of Intellect . —The following extraordinary effusion is the literal copy of a note addressed a few days since to one of the assignees of an extensive bankrupt estate in this county : — " Sir , —I shall think you to Inform me the Last Day of proving the Depts of the Totness of which you are asenee to theEfects , I shall ve verry much obliged if you Could dew it for my Bister , : as she is a fool and Verry Old . — -I am your Obedat sovent ¦ ¦ .

      Subterranean Passage one Hundred and : Fifty Miles Long . —While travelling lately in Central America , Stephens visited the ruined city of Ocosingo . When there , he was told that there was a communication by a subterranean passage from those ruins with tho city of Palehque , that was distant about one hundred ; and -fifty miles ! This is a very decent addition to the wonders of the New World . - ; ; .. : ,.. ; ' : .. . : . '¦ . . ¦ ¦ : ¦;¦ ¦ ¦ - . ¦ ¦ ¦ :. _ Recent Intelligence from New South Walea furnishes hs with some information as to the employment of Bolam , the assassin of poor Millie . It appears that he is in good health , and that he has a situation which muoh resembles that of a washer ^ woman ' s assistant . He is employed to take away the foul linen from the barracks at Sydney , to a place of some miles distance where it is convenient to

      have it washed . He then brings it baok clean , and returns it carefully as to quantity to the proper authorities . Our informant does not state whether he does anything in the ironing or mangling department . — Tyne Mercury . \ Strange Coincidence . —There is at present living at Taxholea , near Blackburn , a woman named Agnes Brindle , to whom the following extraordinary incidents have happened during her progress through life . She has been the mother of twenty children—ten sons arid ten daughters—of whom two wereborn in one day \; two werechristened inojie day j two were married in one day ; and two were buried in one day . Shortly after her marriage . this said female p lanted in her garden an apple pippin , which grewinthe course of years into a tree , from the wood of which she supplied herself , not many years since , with a wooden leg , having had the misfortune to lose one of the props which had supported her for many years .

      Distress in Bolton . —The following facts j which we have received from an authentic source , will enable our readers to form some idea of the pressure of distress in Bolton . During the four weeks , ending January 22 , 1842 ^ the number of applications for relief to the Bolton Benevolent Society amounted to 6 , 095 ; arid the average income of , tho applicants was only thirteenponce per head per week . Of those eight hundred and twenty-eight have been rejected , as not coming within the limits fixed by

      the Society . Of the remaining 6 , 157 , who have been relieved , the average income per head per week was only elevenpence three-farthings . All this is in addition to the relief granted by the Guardians , which has increased enormously with the dulness of trade . In the year ending March , 1836 , the total sum paid fox the relief of the poor of Great Bolton , was £ 1 , 558 . In the year ending March , 1841 , the sum paid for the relief of the poor was £ 6 , 268 ; an increase of 300 per cent . — Manchester Guardian .

      State of the Hosiery and Lace Trades . —There is , as yet , no improvement in the demand in any of the numerous branches of the hosiery or the lace trades ; in fact , if we are to believe the workmen ^ the demand is decreasing , instead of increasing . This state of things extends equally to silk , cotton , or worsted hosiery , in the latter of which there is nothing , in any part of the world , in the Bhape of competition , yet the distress at Leicester is such , that the population are begging iu mobs of 200 or 300 . We are pained to state , that the silk warp blond hands , who have been advanced in their wages by one house for some months , have been again reduced the eighth of their wages . At the same time , blond nets have been lowered in the market considerably , as the rest of the manufacturers absolutely refused to advance the wages , The _ excitement . in the villages still continues respecting the abatement of the price for making cbtfon nose . The

      damage done to the frames at Westthorpe , v it appears , was not very serious , aquafortia having been poured upon the needles and sinkers during the night . The needles , in most oases , are rendered unfit for work ; but the sinkers will , most of them , be made to work again , after the roughness is taken off . A meeting of deputies , from about twelve of the villages , was held on Mondayj who came to / the determination of resisting the reduction . A list of prices given by the other houses of the trade has been presented to the house in question , which they object to , on the ground that the document only states those that are giving a high price , and riot those that are giving low prices , and consequently it is not satisfactory . In the meanwhile , some of the villages , such as Arnold ^ in which about 800 frames are employed , are in a state of great excitement , aod some acts of violence and insubordination have occurred .

      Mysterious Affair at MAKFiEtp . —On tho 24 th inst ., a coroner ' B inquest Was held to inquire iot © the circumstances attending th ^ deaths of Eliaabeth Holmes , the elder , Elizabeth Holmes , the younger , and Elizabeth Holmes , an infant . From the evidence produced , it appeared that the younger woman was the cause of her own death and . that of the others , although the motive ca ' anpt ^^ be conjectured . It seems that on Tuesday inorp . ing the old woman was employed in rolling up Fbme'paste to make a pudding . Her daughter nan ded her a jar of . preserved currants , which the old woman used for a pudding . Tne mother and daughter dined ; together on mutton broth and the v udding . Two hours after

      dinner the old woman r ^ aa taken .-iJl , and died at four o ' clock . ThedaugJ iter was also taken ill , but lingered till Bix o ' clock the next morning , "when she expired . Early on t aat day she told one of her siBters , who was atter jding her , there was some preaerved dumpling in the closet , arid that she could take it , and give if , to her children , which she did . After partaking of It all her five children were taken ill , and one , a V jaby , died . On a post mortem ex * amination of the bodies , the presence of arsenic was detected by the usual tests , and the cause of ' . 'deiith attributed to ^ that poison .

      waa for a total arid immediate repeal ; but he denied tho « e Jaws could be repealed till the People ' s Charter is first made the law of the Jani He challenged the lecturer . to discuss thequestion as to thebest meansi to ensure the total repeal « f those laws . Mr .

      Mr . Agland replied , Baying publio © pinion would repeal the Com Law , and that the same public opinion would gain the Charter .

      Mr . R . Bpchanan came forward amidst loud and continued cries of "cb air , chair . " At last , Mr . B . was allowed to proceed without a chairman . The speaker took up the factory systemy which he exposed in a manner that placed the Whigs in a dilemma from which they will not in & hurry extricate themselves . Mr .

      The moment Mr . Malcolm attempted to speak he was met with a general Btorm of hisses , which continued , for about ten minutea , notwithstanding the utmost endeavour on his ( Mr . M . ' s ) part to command a hearing . . Matters were beginning to assume a rather serious aspect , when Mr . Moir stepped forward ts . the front of the hustingSj and was received with loud cheers .

      Mr . M : brUfly referred to the treacherous condsot of the conduct of Whigs towards the people . Look to the the dissenting clergy in Scotland in reference to this question of late . These fellows are as selfish as the Estat- lished Clergy can be . The one whose ; stipend is regulated by the price of wheat wishes to keep things as they are ; the other ( dissenting ) Who is paid at a fixed money rate wishes to secure a cheap loaf . ( Here one of the Whigs on the platform cried , " Put him out . ") Moir turned round , and in a stern voice , staring the fellow in the face , said , " Come forward , you coward , and do not ask anothar to do it . "

      Here the Rev ; Mr . M'Jean , who was sitting beside the young gentlemanr to whom Mr . M . was atJministering this castigation , rose , and was in the act of running at Mr . Moir with a large bludgeonj when Mr . j . Col : quhoun sprang forward , and se i zing Mr . M'Jean by the collarr set him dawn on his chair . It is unnecessary to add , that but for the timely interference of Mr . Colquhoun , the consequences might have been serious . Mr . Moia resumed amidst the plaudits of the meeting . He said the people were always opposed to the Corn Laws ; in proof of which the people of Glasgow burned in effigy the notorious Kirkman Finlay , opposite his own door in 1816 , after the passing of the present Corn Laws , Kirkman Finlay being then Member for Glasgow . ¦' - ' .: ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦• ¦ " .

      Mr , Proudfoot followed , urging the People ' s Charter as tbe only means : calculated to ensure the repeal , not only of the Corn Laws , but all those bad laws inflicted upon the people under clas 3 legislation , adding that no man who was not a Chartist could be a good man . ' ' The Lecturer replied . It being now eleven o ' clock , the debate was adjourned till Friday night On Friday evening , before eight o ' clock , the Hall was filled in every corner , and tha anxiety visible on almost every countenance composing tha vast assemblage , which could not be less than 5 , 000 * clearly indicated that something decisive waa looked for . ¦; At eight o ' clock the Lecturer , accompanied by Baillie Hamilton , and many other leading men of the League , ascended the platform .

      Mr . Moir moved that Jlr . Georga Ross should take the . chair . ; . :.. ' _ - ¦ _ -. - ..: ¦ -. ' ¦ , ' : ^ To this Mr . Acland again objected , Bather than lose the discussion ( Acland having signified his determination to leave the meeting to themselves , should a Chairman be appointed ) , the discussion wa 3 again allowed to proceed without a Chairman . : . Mr . MtJHCHY , of Anderston , presented himself , and was received with strong marksof disapprobation . After several attempts to be heard , he was obliged to retire , without being allowed to finish one sentence . ; Mr . BtiCliANAN rese | : arid after commenting on a few points forhierly advanced by Mr . Acland , he coricltided his first quarter of an hour by calling on Mr . Acland to state what guarantee he could give that the working classes would be better after a repeal of the Corn Laws than they are . ¦¦ - ' " ; ¦ .

      Mr . Acland—All the guarantee Mr . Buchanan could expect was the probable result . ^ Hisses and confusion . ) That a repeal of the Corn Laws would be a benaflt without other changes , he was not the man to assert . The only : guarantee waaI probability j one thing , it would guarantee more food and more labour . Mr . BUCHANAN contended the Manchester League would never get these laws repealed by the present : £ 10 House ; and not till it was a Honse appointed by the whole people . Mr . Buchanaa then went into alucid description of the faptory system , shewing how manual labour waa superseded by caachinery , the maohines being now wrought by women arid chlidren . While factories rose like mushrooma , the men were laidi wi the shelf . He denied that a reyetkl of those laws- -would confer substantial benefit on . tba people , if thes had riot a yearly power over the deliberations of the House of Commons .

AcJand lost all hold of the meeting . Be was looked upoa during the hat hour more as an object of commiaastation than as tbe antagonist , Mr . B , demanding of him to ahow how an

      people were to be benefltted , and what pledge conld he give on the'part pf those whom he represented there ( the Leagney , that should the ptople join the middle class just now , the middle class would not act towards tile people as they did in the case of the Reform Bill . Mr . Acland could only say , that were the middle class to desert the people again , he would have nothing more to do with them . -Yet he could not aee how any man could guarantee what might be done in future . To this point Mr . Buchanan held Acland throughout , and en that he finished him . Mr . Buchanan said we could . 6 nly calculate th « fnture from the experience of the past . That man , b « he middle class man or an aristocrat , who deny that to his fellow men Which he himself enjoys , ia unworthy of such privilege .

      Mr . ACLiND acknowledged the Charter would do more good , bat thought the people should join for the Cora Law repeal . He would advise the people not to abuse the middle classes .

' ' The reading ef this resolution deafening cheers . '; :

      Mr . Moir , in moving this resolution > referred to Mr . Acland ' s suggestion as to treating the middle classes civilly . He ( Mr . M . ) would ask ; how were the people treated by the middle : classes , and their organa , the whole press in the interest of the pariy from the Horning Chronicle down to the Loyal Patter , traduced and irisuliea the people . Was this to be borne with impunity ? Ko . So far as he wa 3 concerned he would continue to tell the truth of the inen ; If the truth was hard , he ceuld not help it , the fault was their own , not his ., - .. - ' : - " : . ; " ' ' ¦' .: ; ' .. . ? ., " • '¦'¦ . - .

      Mr . Moib then took a show of hands for the resolution , when in the vast multitude , which could , not be less than from five to six thousands , the Hall being crammed full in- every corner , ; a forest of hands was held up . ; Mr M . said , in order that public opinion might be fairly tested on this important qaestion , he would now c ^ l on , those who were opposed to the resolution to hold up both hands . From tw 6 to : thre € t hundred hands were held up—say three hundred . Acland held up both bands against ; it . So much for the great change in public opinion ! Let ne man suppose this was tWVote of a faction ; it was the Whigs' own meeting . A fairer Sght and a more decisive moral victory never was obtained . TJsis was a eool and deliberate vote ; calmly come to , after six hours' lecture , and nina hours'discussion ; . Aye , and it was the vote ' of maiy a starving man .

      The fallacies . of the : League have never been so clearly exposed as in this case . There is but one opinion as to ' . the result . They feel it themselves ; they are bound to acknowledge it Someof them since have declared that bad they a repeal if the Com Laws , they did riot care if tke Chartee was not obtained a hundred years hence . : We knew " thatj and we treated them accordingly .. ' . : They are making superhuman exertions to get their petition numerously signed here . . The sheets are sent to every Whig shop in and around the town . Every name , man and boy , unless peremptorily refused , is put down , and many without consent .
