      AUTOBIOGRAPHY OP JFEANCOISBENE , VISCOUNT DE CHATEAUJSRIAND . Vol . IL London : Simms and M « Intyre , Paternoster-row . The close of the first Tolume of these memoirs left the author on Ms exploring expedition tough the -wilds of North America . The Tolume before us introduces him to his readers in the company of English , French , and Dutch settlers , Indians and half-castes , including two swarthy goddesses "who combi ned all the graces of Spanish and Indian beauty . The poor tra-Teller ' s head was well nigh turned , -whilst in the company of Ms bewitching companions . ^ Fortunately , he was philosopher enough to withstandtemptation , otherwi se his adventures ¦ would , in all likelihood , have been cut short by the tomahawk and the sealping-knife . We extract our autobiographist ' s account of his Tisit to NIAGARA . I lave seen the cascades of the Alps with their Chamois , and those of the Pyrenees with their izzards . I have not ascended the 3 file high enough to meet with its cataracts -which there degenerate into rapids . I speak not of the azure zones of Tcrniand Tivoli , the elegant drapeiy of ruins , or the subjects of the poet ' s song—Et praeceps Anio ac Tiburni lucus . " AndtherapidAnioand the sacred wood of Tibur . " 3 fiasara eclipsed them all . . I was holding my horse ' s bridle twined around mv arm . when a rattle-snake rustled among the

      brushwood . The terrified animal reared up ana recoHed in the direction of the falL I was unable to disengage my arm from the reins , and the horse , heconiin" - every moment more frightened , dragged me after him . Already his forefeet had left the earth Leaning over the margin of the abyss , he was prevented from falling only by the pressure of the reins . It wasall over withme , when the animal , astonished himself at his new danger , wheeled round with a pirouette . If I had quitted the world in the midst of Canadian forests , would my soul have carried to the supreme tribunal , the sacrifices , the good works , and the virtues of the father Jogues andlallemand , or only vacant days and miserable chimeras 1 _ , . ed t

      This was not the only danger I encountera 3 Ha"ara . A ladder of Lind-weed served the savaoesfor descending into the lower basin . It was at that period broken . "Wishing to see the cataract from below , I ventured , notwithstanding the remonstrances of my guide , upon the side of an almost perpendicular rock . Notwithstanding the roar of thewatcr which boiled above me , 2 retained mj steadiness of head , and reached withm forty ieet oi the base . Arrived there , the naked and vertical rock no longer offered me any support I remained suspended by one hand from the last root which I met with , feeling my fingers every moment giving way from the weight of my body . -There are few wVwnnhave s £ nt during their life . two minutes

      such as I then reckoned . My weary hand at last let < ro its hold , and I fell . By an unexpected stroke of » ood fortune Ifound myself on the slope of a rock , on which one would have imagined i must have been dashed to pieces , and did not feel much injured . I was within half a foot of the edge of the abyss , and I had not rolled over ; but when the cold andthedamp began to penetrate my clothing , I perceived that I had not got off so cheaply . 1 nad my left arm broken above the elbow . My guide , ¦ who was gadnw at me from above , and to whom made signals of distress , ran to summon the savages . They hoisted me up with halters by a path which lad been made by the otters , and transported me to their village . I had only a simple fracture . Two splints , a bandage , and a sling sufficed for my

      recovery , # At the farm-house of an American , CHATEactbiaxd obtained sight of an English newspaper , in -nrMeh he read the account of the attempted escape ofLoms XVI ., and his arrest at Tarennes . This news decided him to interrupt his travels andreturn forthwith to Europe . He did so , and had a narrow escape of ship--wreckon the Shore 3 of Brittany . Shortly after his return to France he married , or rather was married , for he appears to have oeen the most passive of mortals that ever be-Saparty to the tying of the «*«** £ inot of matrimony . His account of the affair ihoughnot intended to excite laughter , is pro-ToMnglludicrous . " . „

      y .. ,. „ Within a few months of Ms marriage , Chaieatjbriasd quitted Madame , and along with his brother joined the loyalist emigrants in Grermany . His descriptions of his comrades , show the contemptible character of the Wand aristocrats . He appears to have had but indifFerenthealtli , with which to meet the toils and dangers of the life of a soldier in active service . After taking part in a little

      fighting against the Republicans , \ vhich only resulted in the discomfiture ' of the aristocrats , he quitted the ranks of the Germans , intending to go to Jersey and from there to Brittany , to join the Breton royalists . Almost , destitute , and -with a journey of two - hundred leagues before him , he found Hniself attacked by smallpox , and suffered terriblemiseries . Ultimatel y reaching Ostend , he embarked for Jersey , but was put ashore at Guernsey , apparently dying , I was apparently fated to excite compassion . , The wife of an English pilot happened to pass ; she was touched on seeing me , and called her husbandwho .

      , assisted by two or three sailors , carried me into the house of a fisherman—me , the friend of the waves . They laid me on a comfortable bed , in snow-white sheets- ^ The young seaman ' s wife took all possible care of the forei gner ; I owe my life to her . The following , morning 1 again embarked . My hostess almost wept when parting from heir patient ; women have a heavenly and instinctive compassion for misfortune . My fair and lovely guardian , who resembled a fi gure taken from the old English engravings , pressed my swollen and burning hands in her fresh and lovely fingers ; I was ashamed that so much vilcness and misery should come in contact with so many charms .

      He reached Jersey , and subsequently London instead of Brittany . New horrors met him , and more than . once he was in danger of perishing of hunger . A countryman and companion in misfortune , named Hingant , lodged , with Chateaubeiawd .

      SUFFERINGS OF THE EXILES . "When we reached our last shUling , I agreed with my friend to keep it in order to preserve a semblance of breakfasting . We arranged that we should purchase a loaf at two sous ; that we should allow them to bring up warm water and the teapot as usual ; that we should not put any tea in it ; that we should not eat the bread , but drink a little warm water with a morsel of sugar which remained in the bottom of the sugar basin . Five days glided on in this manner . I was devoured with hunger ; I was burning hot ; -sleep had wholly deserted me . I sucked some : fragments of linen which I had dipped in water ; I chewed grass

      and paper . "When I passed before the . bakers shops , my torments were dreadful . One severe evening in winter , I stood for two hours riveted before a shop where dried fruits and smoked viands were sold , drinking in with my-eyes all that I beheld . I could have eaten , not only the edibles , but the boxes , the baskets , and the panniers which contained them . On the morning of the fifth day , almost expiring from inanition , I drag myself to Hingant ' s house ; I knock at the door , it was locked ; I call Hingant , who is some time without giving any reply ; at las he rises and opens it . He was laughing in a wild and unnatural manner : his riding-coat was

      buttoned . He seats himself before the table on which the tea-things were placed . "Our breakfast is just coming up , " said he , in an extraordinary tone of voice . I fancied I saw some drops of blood on his chemise ; I hastily unbuttoned his riding-coat ; he had given himself a stab with his pen-knife , about two inches deep , in his left side . I called out for help . The servant hurried out to procure a surgeon . The wound was dangerous . This new misfortune obliged me to come to some determination . Bingant had been a counsellor in the Parliament of Brittany , and he had refused to

      accept the stipend which the English governm en ] granted to French magistrates , just as Ihad refused the shilling a-day given as alms to the emig rants . I wrote to M . de Barentin , and disclosed to him the situation of my friend . Hingant ' s parents hastened to his side , and brought him with them to the country . At the same moment my uncle , DeBedee , sent me forty crowns—the to aching oblation of my persecuted family . I thought all the gold of Peru was before me ; the pence of the prisoners of France served to support the French exile . "We-must leave untouched the episode of " Charlotte , " who first excited love in the frozen breast of our autobiograpmst .

      After an exile of eight years in England , he returned to France under a Swiss name , there "to prosecute his career as an author . The account of his impressions of Paris in the year 1800 , when France was yet nominally a Republic , although Buonaparte was then preparing to assume the purple , concludes this volume . The Autobiography of Chateadbkiand is a work which no reader should be ignorant of . Although not free from defects , it is , on the whole , exceedingly interesting , and abounds in passages of beauty , the equal of which can be but rarely met with .

      Chartist Tracts for the Times . No . VII . Chartism , and the . Charter Defended . By the Kirkdau : Chabtist Prisoners . London : Watson . This tract is devoted to an able and impartial sketch of the rise and progress of Chartist principles , from the time of the Reform Bill agitation to the " Whig persecution of the Chartists in 1839 . The subject will be continued in number eight . In placing the Chartists , and their principles , in their true colours , before the public , our friends are doing good service to the good cause—service which cannot be too highly appreciated by their brother democrats . "We select a few extracts : —

      THE WHIGS . The doings of the Whi ^ s during the agitation are fresh in our memory . The burnings at Bristol and Nottingham . Processions , in one of which an executioner was paraded , carrying a bloody axe . Attwood ' s threat to march one hundred thousand men on London , and at the same time holding a correspondence with the Whi g ministry . All this , and infinitely more , was openly tolerated and encouraged , without a single individual being arrested . How strangely this contrasts with the treatment to which the Chartists have been subjected by these brawlers , and incendiaries of J 830 . But there was wood cause for this . The Scditionists of that day were rich men struggling for the supremacy of an aristocratic faction , whilst the persecuted and imprisoned victims of the "Whig and Tory factions are friends of justice , and committed the heavy crime of opposing the usurpation of the titled and the wealthy . EFFECTS OF THE M 5 OMULGATI 0 X OF TIIE CIIARTF . R .

      The definite and nnmistakeable shape in which this document placed the true principles of representation , aWmed the " Whigs and doubtful Radicals , therefore , to create a distinction , and shelter themselves from the obloquy of openly deserting their previous principles , all who had adopted the London document , as their political creed , were styled " Chartists , " and thus a distinct lino was drawn between the real friends of political and social progress , and the mere pretenders . The Working Men s Associations throughout the country , quietly adopted the title which malignity had thrust upon them , feeling it necessary to distinguish themselves from their previous doubtful and insincere associates . This was the origin of the term Chartist , and the democratic doctrines , promulgated by that body , have been called " Chartism . " We feel that the Drocedinfffacts are a full justification of the

      part taken by the working classes and their mends . They plainly saw that , during the Reform Bill mania , they were made the mere tools of a worthless faction , whose every pledge to the people had been shamefully violated , and who used their newly acquired power to crush still lower the class who had exalted them to place and distinction , and they accordingly resolved to act for themselves for the futUK ? JIany well disposed men still feel a hankerin"' desire to link themselves once more with the mfddle class ; but as for us , we are firmly resolved that the game of 1830 shall not again be played , and that if there is to be a union of action at any future period , the just rights of the people must be first established . If they are wilhnc to add their influence to the movement in favour of the Peopls ' s Charter , then they will have redeemed their former pledge ; if not , they are unworthy of

      SUNSHINE AND SHADOW ; A . TALE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY . Bt THOMAS MARTIN WHEELEB , ate Secretary to the National Charter Association and National Land Company . Chapter X . "What if they failed ? ' 'Twere glory e ' en to dare The proud achievement . Tens or millions brood O ' er numan life m one penurious mood Of paltry thought , and miserable care ; Then Bhall not these the palm of triumph wear , A guiltless wreath by slaughter unimbrucd ; For not by their own minds were they subdued , But by the banded Dowers of * ' * .

      This was a fresh era in the life of Arthur Morton , one of those cycles of events on which the whole web of after-life seems to hang ; the mute lyre of his eoul had been touched by the finger of popular emotion , and gave forth sweet and sonorous music , of the possession of which it had hitherto been unconscious ; but the lyre once touched , its vibrations ceased not until the fragile instrument was destroyed . In the exciting scenes that took place during the few days of the Convention ' s sitting in Birmingham , Arthur was a prominent actor ; the irritating interference of a body of police , sent from London to preserve the peace , was the immediate cause of its being broken , and in the riots that ensued they would have speedily met their fate , had they not

      been sheltered by the military . Arthur deeply regretted these transactions : enthusiast as ho was , he would have shed his blood cheerfully in any struggle , however hopeless , which might possibly result in achieving the emancipation of the masses ; but he was aware that mere sectional rioting would tend only to dispirit the friends , and exasperate the enemies of the movement ; it was , therefore , with fellings of pain that he gazed on that grand and exciting spectacle in the Bull-ring , when the pent-up passions of the mass burst forth like a volcano ' s lava , scattering flames and destruction around . The leaders of the Democratic movement are decried by their opponents as destructives , and incendiariesmen delighting in anarchy and confusion .

      Despicable falsehood ! were it so , courage and opportunities have not been wanting , aud JBngland ' s mammoth cities might have been the funeral pyres of their oppressors , and blazing beacons of a world ' s warning against man's injustice to his brother man . Ilad the leaders of the people that night been the firebrands they are denominated , a new Birmingham must , Phrenix-like , have arisen from the ashes of the present one ; but they , in common with the generality of Britons , have a respect for property , and a love of order , carried even "to the extreme . Little , however , does this avail them ; their motives must be impugned , and their characters maligned , in order that the thoughtless and the inert—the mass of the people—may be deluded and imposed

      upon , under the specious pica of the rights of private property , and the reign of public order . The events that followed are matters of history , but of history that has to be re-written , to clear it of prejudice and calumny . Time , the great arbiter , will do all parties justice—more is needed not . The Convention , ushered into existence amid the sunshine of unity and hope , dissolved away amid shadow and gloom ; many of its members were arrested , and the remainder , with few exceptions , dispersed or in exile ; nor were the men of Birmingham suffered to go scathless—imprisonment and transportation was the lot of too many of her sons . Honest and truehearted , they fell victims to the misguided enthusiasm of the moment . A tear to their woes , and

      a speedy termination to their exile ! Had theirs been an impartial jury of their peers , they would have returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity , brought 011 by excess of zeal in a good cause . " Arthur Morton , deprecating this rioting , and taking no part in the firing of the houses in the Bull-Ring , had nevertheless become a marked man ; he had displayed abilities too great to be suffered to go at large , whilst any plausible pretext could be found for ridding the country of him ; he was , accordingly , one evening shortly after these events , arrested by Catchem and Holdem , two of the London police , and on inquiring the charge , was informed—" Arson . " Arthur had seen enough of life to know

      that innocence was no protection in a court of justice when the political prejudices of a jury were appealed to , his resolution was therefore taken and acted upon at once . While the policemen were searching hie papers and effects , he was descending the stairs to the street , with one of his captors in front and the other behind ; he stooped suddenly down , seized the foremost by the legs , threw him headlong , jumped over his prostrate body , and succeeded m gaining tke street before the hindmost officer could disengage himself from his companion , who , partially stunned by his fall , but having a dim consciousness of his duty , seized him by mistake for our hero . In vain did Catchem endeavour to convince Holdem that he had got the wrong man by

      the gripe ; Holdem held convulsively to his log , and it was only by a violent effort that Catchem tore himself from his grasp . Swiftly sped Arthur along the dark and narrow street , he has turned the corner , and no sound of pursuit falls on his ear ; he slackens his pace to collect his scattered thoughts , but before he can arrange any plan of escape the shouts of his pursuers burst on his eardarkness favours him , they see him not , but have traced him by the sound of his footsteps . Onward he flies , —now he emerges from the quiet streets , adjacent to his home , into New-street , and , walking quietly , along , is lost to his pursuers amid the passengers that throng the street . In sooth to aay , Catchem , in doubt as to the state of

      Ms brother officer , did not make . any . strenuous effort to continue the pursuit ; feeling confident of a reward being offered , he rejoined his comrade , whom he found recovered from his insensibility . Holdem , whilst venting imprecations upon the prisoner ' s escape , laughed heartily at his own erroneous seizure- they then ascertained the route taken by Arthur , and suspended further active operations until a reward should enhance the value of their prey . Meanwhile Arthur , finding himself safe , lastened ' to the suburbs , and succeeded m reaching Wolvcrhampton in safety ; he paused at the entrance of the town , thinking the lateness of the hour he

      mi"ht cause suspicion , but anxiety to place t greatest possible distance between himself and his Wsuers hurried him on , and during the whole night he tarried not , but . pursued the northern road until he reached Stafford ; here , pleading illness , he engaged a bed at a small public-house , and after narta king of tea , retired to the sleeping apartment and soon sunk into slumber ; but sleep did not lon « exert its influence over him ; the mmd , perplexed and wearied , -would not allow the body to repose ; iis was indeed a dangerous position , —with but a ew 8 hUun ? sinhis pocket—without change of raiment—destitute of even political friends , save those inBirmipgham , with whom it was now dangerous to

      correspond , he knew' iibt what 1 ; coursci ' to take " or where to proceed V with" the natural instinct of courage he meditated upon returning to Birmingham , and meeting the -unjust accusation , but reflection told him that it would be useless so to sacrifice himself , and that his flight would be looked upon as a strong conBrmation of hia guilt , After revolving over various plans he at length decided upon travelling to Liverpool , and from thence writing to an acquaintance in Birmingham to turn the few things his savings had allowed him to purchase into money , trusting with the proceeds to reach America ; - that

      rehlge lor . the world ' s criminals and the world ' s unfortunates , receiving daily , the ., very ; refuse of Europe , —all who are discontented—all who are in debt—those who ' cannot , arid who will not obey the laws of their native land—mingled with a few of its noblest spirits . Yet by virtue of thy Republican institutions purifying and refining those discordant elements , uniting alfin the bonds of citizenship / and setting an example of order , economy ; and prosperity to the nations of the Old World , an example which , sooner or later , they will be compelled to follow . ¦ , f

      In safety did Arthur reach Liverpool , and from thence communicated with his friend at Birmingham . Day after day passed in suspense , during which time Arthur kept himself almost a prisoner in his room . _ One evening he ventured as far as the residence of Walter North , which he had ascertained from his landlad y ; half tempted was he to knock and see what reception he should meet from his old schoolfellow , but prudence bade him desist . He was a fugitive flying from the terrors of the law—his quondam friend was rich and prosperous , and seldom do fortune ' s favourites protect : the felon or the outcast , go he sought again his quiet lodging , though ho gazed long and wistfully at the splendid mansion he had left , and well was it for Arthur that

      he entered not that mansion . Walter North , a Whig economist in politics , and a bitter reviler of the vulgar Chartists , would have thought it his duty—that excuse for every mean and vile act-Walter would have thought it his duty to his country to sacrifice private friendship on the altar of public good , and . would have gained golden opinions with his party for the supposed violation done to his feelings , and Arthur would have been consigned to the grasp of the" law . Our hero was beginning to despair of an answer from Birmingham , when happily it arrived , containing a £ 10 note , partly the

      result ofxhe sale of his watch and few clothes , and partly a subscription fr « m the few who were trusted with the circumstances . Arthur deeply appreciated the kindness of his friend ; it would enable him to procure a few necessaries for the voyage in addition to the payment of his passage , and a tew days saw him safe on board the Camden , a fine American ship , sailing away from the land of his birth , the land that ho would have died to benefit , but which met his devotion with persecution , and would have sentenced him to a felon ' s fate in her Australian world , had he not prevented it by self-exile . Such is the world and the world ' s justice ! ( To be continued . )

      LOUIS BLANC TO ARMAND BARBES . ( From No . 1 of the Democratic Review , June , 1849 . ) " My Dear Barbes , —Most generous of friends , " and best of men ! Again , then , ; you are cast into prison , in the name of that Republic which your unconquerable soul , thirsting for justice , has so valiantly served ! Alas ! where is the Republican ( worthy the name ) who does not feel his heart swell with grief at the thought of all you are again to endure after suffering so much ? " I will not speak here of the Court at Bourges ; it has condemnedyou for the 15 th of May , In the eyes of the royalists your crime is your whole life . " Because you have , disdainfuly passed by their lying oracles , and their idols of clay ; because , in your generous spiritualism , you , unlike the gloomy philosopher , refused to believe that millions of human beings must be sacrificed to the prosperity of a few , even as millions of acorns are sacrificed for the splendour of the oak ; because ,, saying with Pascal , tbat" humanity is a man who lives for ever , and learns unceasingly ! " you have believed in the dogma of the homogeneousness of human existence and cares ; because you have fervently held the sublime faith that truth and justice alone are immortal , that injustice is unstable , that ignorance and falsehood may be dethroned , misery destroyed , and evil overcome ; because , for the sake of the people whom you love , and for whom you demand the right of happiness , as well as to the Sun ' s light , you have offered up a sacrifice , your youth , your fortune , your liberty ,

      and your life ; and , Christian amidst a heathen society , have shown yourself a true' disciple of Jesus our Master—therefore have they cursed you , therefore are you condemned . " But , Heaven be thanked , men destined to a great mission are created with the qualities necessary for its fulfilment . God in assigning to you the sacred role of devotedness , has given you constancy , serenity , and strength . He has placed within you a principle of enthusiasm too exalted to be chilled by our enemies . To shako you by calumny—to humiliate you by inflicting upon you the penalty of thieves and assassins—to irritate or even to distress you by threats of the galleys and the executioner—this has

      been beyond their power . How superior are you to those who oppress you—you , whom they can kill , but can never dismay ! " When dragged before the tribunal of Paris , in June , 1839 , your attitude was the same that it has been before this court ; your answer to your interrngaters was this : — ' When the Indian is conquered and the chances of war have thrown him into the hands of his enemy ; he seeks not to defend himself , he utters no useless words , he submits , and offers his head to the scalping-knife . ' And when , the next day , Monsieur Pasquier did . not blush to say that you were right in comparing yourself to a savage , you answered him— ' The worst savage is not he who offers his head to the knife , but he who uses it . '

      " At mid-day , on the 13 th of June , 3 , 000 Students assembled on the _ Place Venclome , and took the way to the Chancellciie . They proceeded gravely , bareheaded , and in silence , with the manner and bearing of a solemn funeral . It was for y < . u , my dear Barbes , that they came—for you had been condemned to death . Never had Paris presented such n spectacle of consternation . The workshops were abandoned , the suburbs deserted , the public squares -wl streets were silent—the people were sunk in the deepest grief . " You , meanwhile , on the eve of ascending the scaffold , were in thought only with your friends , with your party , with France !

      " But as noble examples were still needed , as the people had not yet been sufficiently benefitted by your sufferings , —death was not for you—a commutation of your sentence was granted to mourning Paris ; the Monarchial dungeons still enclosed you ; and afterwards , in the very palace of the . Luxembourg , whertin you were condemned , and from which your judges had since been driven by an avenging Providence , it was granted to Albert and me : to receive you ; your countenance changed by ten years of suffering , but the lustre sti' -l on your forehead and your eye still full of fire amid the acclamations of the triumphant people .

      " The sun of those great days will shine again . Ay , let our enemies give the nameof madness to your enlightened magnanimity ; injustice , oppression , falsehood , and evil—these are the true madness . And they would have already discovered this , were it possible for madness to recognize itself ; for what wretchedness can compare to thein , who have with them but the army , * and against them their conscience . Are they not incontinualdiead of the possible outbreaks of poverty ? And amid the phantoms evoked by their terror , is there not one that for ever and ever appears before them , which seeks for bread , and finds but a musket- Is not to-morrow the word of

      our hope , the word of their fear ? " That which distinguishes-our age from those which have preceded it , and gives it its historical originality , is the character of strength and universality which now marks doctrines that were formerly only . held bya few thinkers , melancholy philosophers , unrecognised tribunes ,, or sects rapidly etifled , like the first Christians—the only true Christians ! The thinker , the philosopher , the tribune , who , in the present day , represents the imperishable tradition of raternal equality , is named , in France—the People ! To contain it , prisons arenow too narrow . Our triumph is certain . ;

      "Oh , my dear Barbes ! did you but know how loubly sweet and precious this conviction is rendered by the affection I feel for . you ! I know that your Faith , professed in youi 1 sublime speech before the tribunal at Bourses , is to you a source of ineffable consolation , that it is that which raises you so far above the mass of mankind ; that it is that Faith which renders you invincible in suffering ; for God has fashioned you of the nature of heroes , of the nature of martyrs , and I know your heart .

Monday . —Sacrilege at East Ham Church . — Barnard Cook-was charged with having broken open the parisli church of East Ham , Essex , and stealing therefrom sundry articles . It appeared , frpm the evidence , that about seven o ' clock , on Thursday evening last , the prisoner was seen loitering about East Ham Church , and in the course of an hour afterwards , as Mr . Martin , a tradesman residing in the parish , was walking near the edifice , the prisoner suddenly jumped from one of the church windows , with a bundle in his arins . The prisoner made off as fast as he was able , but was followed by Mr . Martin , who pursued him for a considerable distance . At length a Mr .. Mat £ hews , joined in the chaso , and followed the prisoner

      for nearly an hour over ditches and hedges . After travelling several miles , the prisoner gave signs of exhaustion , and plunged into a water-course : he swam across , and was in the act of stepping upon dry . ground , when Mr , Matthew captured him . The chase had extended over a distance of nearly ten miles . The prisoner was handed over to the police and handcuffed . ^ On their way to Ilford gaol , the' prisoner succeeded in slipping his handcuffs , and he immediately darted off . Two farmers , who happened to be riding on horseback ^ and witnessed the occurrence , went in pursuit of the prisoner , and with the assistance of a mounted policeman whoafterwardscameup , he was conveyed safely to Ilford Gaol . On examining the church ,

      Sergeant Collier discovered the carpet of the vestryroom rolled up , ready to . be carried off ; and a quantity of the church books , and other property , were packed up , in order to be removed . ' Several books and important documents relating to the church were found to be missing . —Mr .

      ^ Hosiery and Lace Trades . —The strike of the wrought cotton hose hands still continues ; all parties seem as determined as ever . The harvest , however , is at hand , the state of Ireland will prevent the usual number of harvest men coming , and if the hosiers drive the contest a few weeks longer their cause will be hopeless . After some long and heavy skirmishes the draweiypantaloon , shirt , and piece hands have got a cessation to most of their disputes . Many of the Nottingham emigrant stockingers are returning ; more than twenty arrived by one train from Liverpool a few days since . The bobbin net trade has not further receded this week ; the manufacture of silk is rapidly increasing . The Ecole du Tissus , of Lyons , has given a great impetus

      to the silk bobbin net trade , but the Erench machines work up a very superior quality of silk , the lace being equally as strong , but very little more than half the weight ; the silk is specially thrown for the manufacture of bobbin-net . We have seen several lace hands who have been recently in Lyons , but they seem to have no notion of obtaining foreign methods of making lace or hosiery . The -exportation of machinery to France has again commenced , principally for Paris : several attempts have been made to establish the bobbin-net trade in that city , but they have hitherto failed . The warp lace trade is yet much depressed , but there is a shade of improvement , and some activity in making window curtains , and lace to serve as frieze . Many

      excellent articles are made from the warp frame , especially for gloves , the plated warp fahrics are deficient in the quantity of sflk ; this destroyed the English twilled trade , as well as the royal ribbed hose branch , which once filled Nottingham with riches . — Nottingham Journal .

A fortunate PonciiASE . —Some time since a brig , at present called the Carleton , was put up for public sale at the London Dock , and was purchased by Mr . Scott , a chain lighterman , residing at Wappinsr , for the sum of £ 750 . After undergoing

      considerable repairs at the New Crane Wharf , Wapping , the vessel put to sea under Captain Bacon , who had become part owner . After leaving port ii was found necessary to put in at Hartlepool , where , ¦ whilst the vessel was iindergoing some repairs at the interior part of the bulkhead , 16 , 000 Spanish dollars wore found secreted in a place purposely hollowed out for the reception of the precious deposit . The d ollars , as our reporter was informed , are of an old mintage , and very pure silver . When or by whom the treasure was deposited , it is impossible to guess ; but , at all events , Captain Bacon has reason to congratulate himself on the successful result of his Hist short voyage in the Carleton . The vessel , it is said , was originally engaged in the slave trade off the coast of Guinea , and the treasure so curiously discovered was probably the ill-gotten gains of some of the heartless wretches engaged in that abomniable traffic .

The house in which the man lodged , contains six rooms , which are occupied by no less than five families , and there is a small cottage in the yard occupied by another family . One of the witnesses , in answer to tnc mayor , named the weekly sums paid by each of the lodgers for rent , from which it appeared that the landlord realised about £ 26 per year from thus lotting out his rooms , besides living himself rent free . The house is rated at about £ 9 , and the houses in the same street ( which however , generally contain one or two rooms less ) average £ 10 per year for rent .
