      Tas Wosscre Tatlobs * Association , 3 ^ Castle-6 TKSET , Oxfokd-strkbt . — "Wo recently had the pleasure of visiting the spaeious premises occupied by this " model" industrial association , when , with Ms usual urbanity , the enterprising managerof the establishment ; Waiter Cooper , did as the honour to show ns over the various departments . The cutting department comprises two rooms , witU foldingdoors , forming one large and elegant saloon , and is situate atthe front of the premises .. In the rear is a commodious building , two stories high—tneground floor of which is intended for a lecture-hall , and ¦ will shortly be fitted np with tbe'necessary"

      appurtenances . The first and second floor * are occupied as workshops , in which we found some thirty men employed . -These shops are well ventilated , lighted , < fce ., have water laid on , and are supplied with basins , towels , soap , —&c . The stoves for heating the irons , used in the trade , are also tnost conveniently placed , and- the necessaries and comforts of the men seem studied in every particular . A library is also in course of formatiou ; from the Kst of books already presented we find it embraces history , science , politics , light reading , &c , and the manager informed us that a friend had just presented the association with-the whole of

      Shakspears s works , and that he had promises of many more excellent and erudite works . We were pleased to hear that no sectarian dogmatism prevails , but that the mind will here find free scope for the exercise of its judgment on all things pertaining to the comfort and future well-being of the whole human family . It is also pleasing to find that these men , who have started with the idea , of becoming masters of the whole product of their industry , work most harmoniously together , and that , in a short time , they will be enabled to pay off the capital advanced to start them in business . As we nave previously stated , we fonnd some thirty men

      at work ; they have more trade than they can conviently do , and that , too , of the very best description , supplied by aristocratic and , we may add , a branch of the royal family .- Some of the noble visitors and patrons make curious inquiries , and appear much surprised at the intelligence and intellectual superiority of working men . As friends and advocates of the order of industry we moat cordially wish success to " The Working Tailors Association , " and trust it may stand as a beacon to light the way to the thorough emancipation of industry from the trammels of capital and competition .

      FriohtfcIi AcciDEsr . — li . Amelot , an exmagistrate , has addressed a letter to the Gazette da Tribtatmtx , correcting some of the details given in the journals of the dreadful accident which occurred to Madam Bruere , in a diligence on the Lyons railway . He says that neither Madame Bruere , nor her husband , nor her maid , who occupied the coupe of the diligence ; had , as erroneously stated , any chemical matches or any spirits of wine , nut that the fire' must have been caused by a

      lighted cinder from the locomotive falling on the truck on which the diligence was placed ( this truck was very near the locomotive ) , just under the flooring of the «< mpe . -He says that M . and Madame Bruere bad experienced' a smell of burning , when all at once tbe maid--saw a flame just Tinder her mistress ' s feet , - She pulled her away , but at the same moment her mistress ' s gown caught fire . M . Bruere shouted from the window " Stop , stop !" but it was five minutes before the train pulled up , and then it was ascertained that Madam Bruere was

      burnt to death . The writer of the letter suggests that for the future diligences should not be placed near the locomotives , and next , that a cord should la attached to an alarm-bell , as in Germany , or some other means should be established to enable passengers to have the train stopped in case of accident . ; ' ' ' " ' . ¦ Precocious Cants in Fb \ kce . —The Journal de la Haute Loire relate * a horrible act of cruelty committed by a child four years old on an infant often months . The little monster being left alone with the infant , seized a knife , and , while it was sleeping in i& cradle , cut off its nose and inflicted several severe wounds nnon ite f «* : and . after thus mutilating it

      covered-it with a mask of wood-ashes niixed with water , in . older to stanch the flow of Wood and stifle «* cries of the helpless little sufferer .

      • : ¦ Cosvict A » vESTTOE 3 . -A circumstance has lately transpired whiuh Ima exhibited events of no common occurrence . A few weeks since a labouring man was lulled on board tho Rookery , and to thfs accident may be attributed the following extraordinary disclosures . In July , 1833 , ei ght prisoners of the crown made their escape from the colony in a small craft belonging to the government . The little vessel was of about twenty-five tons , and was called tho Badger ; she was loaded with stores and Christmas supplies , which were to be conveyed to Macquarie Hariiour . The Badger was maimed by seven prisoners , anil was placed under the command of a man named William Philips , also a convict , who had been transported for incendiarism in destroying a ship . Philips had a wife arid several children in

      England , and he had repeatedly expressed a desire to abscond and settle in America . Under these circumstances , the opportunity of July , 1833 , was too favourable to escape , " and the vessel was accordingly carried off . The absconders were traced to Japan , at , whioh place they put in for water , but after that nothing was heard of them , and they were given up for lost . ' What became of them for the first three or four years after their escape is not known ; but about that timo the Badger suddenly . visited Padstow , a small sea-port in Cornwall , and Philips , dressed in a widow ' s habiliments of mourning , went on shore . ' In this disguise he succeeded in making arrangements for conveying his wfeand family on board , after ifhich he . immediately put to sea and , it is supposed ,: steered for America ; and with his departure from the coast of Cornwall the story" of Philips ceases . But the narrative does not cud here . One of Philips ' s comrades , named Lachlan M'Intosh , also longing to return to his native

      place , proceeded to Scotland , and being there recognised as an escape , was speedily sent back under sentence of transportation for life . Arrived in this colony a second time , he passed through , the various preliminary stages previous to obtaining an indulgence , and ; upon'the receipt of a ticket-ofleave , ; b . ewas occasionall y employed at the wh ' arf in helping to load and discharge vessels . He was Jhusengaged ^ on ! board the barque Rookery , when the : accidental falling of a block abruptly terminated a life whioh had often been exposed to dangers a . thousand times more formidable and threatening , but ; which ; notwithstanding , had been preserved to be at last laid down in that country which he ^ oatlied . Such was the a " nd of M'Intosh ! what has , befallen his seven companions in ' peril it is impossible , to imagine ; doubtless but few , if any , now survive to record that' catalogne of anxiety andsuffuring incident to the revolution of seventeen years . — lavnceston ' s ( Van Diemen ' s Land ) Examiner . .. ¦ - ,- " ¦ • .

      Whig Tricks . —Reception op the Ministers at the House , of Commons . — During , the' whole of Thursday the principal streets of the metropolis were paradedby men bearing plaoards . calling upon the citizens of London to meet Lord Palmerston at the House of Commons that evening . Accordingly , at half-past three in the afternoon , a large number of individuals were collected in the Palace-yard and round the : doors of the House of Commons , lining both sides of the way from Poet ' s-corner > to Great George-street . Lord John Russell . was the first who arrived , aud was received , with loud 'and unanimous . cheering . Lord , Palmerston arrived at five o clock in a close brougham , and owing to this he passed through a great part of tho orowd without being recognised . On stepping out ,-however , he

      was recognised ana saluted with loud cheering from all sides , as well as from numerous members of Parliament who were congregated aboutthe doors of the house . [ Two years ago it was unlawful for the people to assemble within a mite of the House of Commons to discuss the necessity of , or petition for , a further extension of reform , and an obsolete act wasproduced to prove the illegality . The Whigs are now in danger , and the people are invited by men bearing large , bills , to rush to the doors of the house , and keep the-Ministerial Lords from the bleak side of the Treasury .

She has left Is . each to such of her relations as choose to prove themselves so ; a legacy of £ 20 to one neighbour , and £ 10 to another . ' and a few ; trifling legacies of £ 2 ; each . She has left £ 50 each to every houseless person in the country above sixty-eight years of age , and all her real estate to found an hospital for aged persons , the hospital to be builtand the inmates to be habited as directed . She then gives all persoual property to a neighbour , who is appointed executor . It is evident
