      bustle , and actually wished the church clock would move as fast again till the happy hour should arrive that would make the bachelor . ind spinster man and wife .

      HULL . TO THE EDITORS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Gentlemen , —How very delicate our keepers of the parish accounts for Sculcoates are , in the item of charges upon the commissioners' rate , " for lighting , watering the streets , &e . " As to escape any charges of fraud or inconsistency in their demands for the extra sums levied upon such of the parishioners who reside in those streets where it is not thought expedient , from the small number , it may be , of influential persons who dwell therein , to water such streets—whereas , it is not at all the less necessary , —not only on the account of those

      dwellings , but on the aeeeunt of the more numerous passengers , —as is the case in many instances , — who throng such unwatered streets . Butaslbave intimated , the delicacy of the commissioners or their keepers of the parochial accounts , not to be so glaringly or deliberately offensive , have found it expedient , from the unfairness of the thing , being pointed out , to pass a pen over the item of street watering in their schedule of taxes , delivered to such of tbe parishioners as are denied the luxury , or rather , the benefit of such an equally , if not more necessary , procedure . But not withstanding their squeamiFhness in affecting not to make that a charge

      in the rates demanded , it is presumed , such of vs poor devils , as are deliberately or capriciously denied sneh a benefit , charged every whit- as much for the tune , as those who are fiddled to , in those streets which , and to such of their inhabitants , who , in the wisdom of our parochial ^ officers rank as A 1 on their Ust . Is this fair or becoming , gentlemen , to make a general charge for partial proceedings , the benefit and comfort of which is enjoyed exclusively in what are thought to be the don parts of the parish . In future , I trust that our officials will be so far ashamed of such proceedings , as to lay the extra cost and chaige upon such of the inhabitans who enjoy the benefit . I am Sir , Yours .

      Theatre . —On Monday evening ; lasty we had the great treat of witnessing the ¦ most successful comedy brought out of late years—one which has materially , added to the laurels of the first dramatist of the age—Sheridan Knowles . The " Lore Chase " \ i indeed a brilliant ! composition— 'Spark-lingthroughoutwith gems " of purest ray serene . " Out of a very slender plot the author has produced a comedy of the utmost . . interest—pervaded throughout by classical purity and poetic imagery . The plays of Mr . Knowles are most acceptable to us , for in them we see everything which dignities the stage and rendersit valuable ; they "hold the mirror up to nature ^'' they expose tbe vices ; elevate the virtues , and ridicule the foibles of mankind—and thus ren" Ttrr a tdt ? ~ / "Y « - Tlfl " .. — j- __¦¦ ¦ ¦ _ ' ¦ ¦•' -. v t , ¦ '_ tii

      der service to morality and to society at large . His language is always beautifully poetic , and in accordance with the feelings of modern times— -is free from those gross excrescences which are blots upon the writings of many of our old dramatists . The very title of the play has a charm in it- the "Love Chase "—it must have been conceived in a moment of happy inspiration , and , with three couple ? , it is from first to last a true steeple chase . Nothing Mr . Knowles has written excels in beauty the language he has put into the mouth of Lydia—her scene with Widow Green , wherein she describes what love is and also her interview

      with Master . Waller , are among the post effective in the play . What a glorious description does Sir William Fondlove give of ' ^ the pleasant Widow Green "— -her coUTtesy , walk , voice , her hand and arm , with the " curved and p liant wrist , " are to the life . But no scene for graphic force can exceed thatin which Constance describes the delight of the fpx-chase . We could with her , desire , to be a " tenant of the merry-wood , and to list their jocund music . " We are tempted to make one extract from this splendid comed y , and it shall be that to ] whieh we have just referred—from Act II ., Scene 3 : —

      V \ e have so far spoken of the play—the genius of the author was admirably caught by the various performers last evening . Of Mrs . Nisbett ' s Constance it is impossible we can speak in too high terms—the character is all over sparkling and beautiful—she enters fully into the spirit of the scene , displaying to admiration the many beauties of which the part is so full . No . actress of the present day can approach Mrs . Nisbttt in fascination and display of nature . Our recollection goes not back so far as the days of

      some actresses whose memories are embalmed among us , yiet we , last evening , heard from those whose acquaintance with the stage is most extensive , that , with all those names we boast , Mrs . Nisbett can stand comparison ; nay , thot she is more than these , for i ? he unites the excellencies of two of the first names the stage can boast—the acting and manners of Mrs . F . Jordan , with the elegance and figure of Miss Farreu , late tlie Counters of Derby . —Jfutf Observer .

      A Parish Flogoer . —On Saturday , James Mortimer , a fellow employed as a schoolmaster by tbe Governor and Guardians of the Poor , appeared to answer a suinmons obtained , the previous day by a person named Megget , who charged him with committing an assault upon bis nephew , a lad about thirteen years old , a scholar in the Parish School , on tbe Humber bank . James Megget deposed that he was in the school of the parish , and that oh Monday last he had copied a sum he was working from anpther boy ' s slate , for which offence he was severel y flogged by the master , and bad marks on his bact all the week ; his back was very painful still . The blows were inflicted with a small cane , the end

      of which was wrapped round with twine , and cut him sadly . This statement was fully borne out b y another boy , and the fact of marks being ' still on him was proved by his uncle , and admitted by- Mr . Kidd a . nd Mr . Wallace , the governor and surgeon to the workhouse . In his defence , the wretch coolly remarked that he had only given the boy what he considered proper chastisement : lads at a parish school must not be treated as at other seminaries of learning , or even as at a common boarding-school . He hoped the Court would protect him , or he could not maintain his authority : corporal punishment was absolutely necessary . The governor said he did not wish to screen any officer , if be did wrong : he did not approve of corporal punishment , but if it must

      be resorted to , perhaps the master had not given the lad more than was proper : he had ran away from the establishment a month since , without any cause . Mr Bourne , the sitting magistrate , commented in strong terms , on the . impropriety of flogging a boy on Monday in such a way as to leave the effects visible on Saturday . It certainly was very unjustifiable conduct , and they were bound to punish ; but in the hope that the offence would not be again repeated , he would only be on this occasion subjected to a slight penalty . Fined 5 s , and 6 s . costs . Will it be believed that after this decision the governor should think proper virtually to declare he approved of the

      master's heartless conduct ? This is , however , the fact , no sooner had the parties left the court than the ppor boy was expelled from . the establishment , and left to wander without house or home , and during the nights of Saturday and Sunday to sleep in an old steam-boiler , on the Dock-green . His uncle stated the latter case to the bench on Monday , and said that he had to provide for the boy ' s aged grandmother and some of his brothers and sisters , and as he is onl y a working man it was out of his power to do more . The Mayor said he had no power to order them to admit him into the workhouse , but he would send an officer down with him and recommend them to do so .

      Cutting and Stabbing . —Charles Glenn , a youth who , though not twenty years of age , is : well known to the Police and Magistrates , was placed in the dock , charged with the following brutal assault Catharine Cpulson , who was so lame as to he unable to stand during the investigation , stated that she was a married woman , and that on the previous evening , she , was going along . Waterworks . street , when she met the prisoner and another young man eating crabs 1 the young men as they past , put a ^ crab claw in her face , to which she did not pay any attention . Glenn then immediately struck a ( knife into her thigh , and , withdrawing it , made off , and went into a cook shop . The wound bled

      much , and , as soon as she could , she gave information to the police , and the pr isoner was apprehended . He denied having a knife about him , but , on searching binvthe one with which he inflicted the wound wasioundm his pocket . Mr , Fullum , surgeon , had seen the wound , and pronounced it to be of a very serious character . Prisoner said , if he had done it , be was very sorry ; he hoped the court would forgive him , as he had a mother and four small brothers and sisters to support , and also a wife , who had just been ^ onnned . The court sent the case to the sessions , _ but told the defendant that he might be liberated on bail . To find two sureties in £ 30 each tor his appearance te take his trial at the October

      se . George-stree t Chapel . —On Sunday last , this place of worshi p was re-opened , when sermons were preached , and a collection made in aid of the funds for cleaning and repairing the same .

      OLDHAM . Socialism . —Last week , Mr . Easeby placarded our town , stating that in an address to be delivered by him on Tuesday night last , in the largest room in this town , Socialism should be refuted . The meeting took place , was numerously attended , several hundred ptrsons of both sexes being present . Mr . E . is a man of considerable talent , and a good speaker ; capable of doing either much gord or much harm by his oratorical powers . Instead , however , of coolly and candidly examining the fundamental principles of Socialism , and pointing out their errors or defects , he indulged in the most extensive vituperation j called Mr . Owen an enthusiast , a

      visiona ry , an atheist , full of inconsistent conceits , and his system tending to universal licentiousness , and every species of wickedness and misery . Mr . Lioyd Jones requested Mr . E . to prove any one of the ebarges he had made against Mr . Owen or his system ; desired him to read carefully , and consider well , tbe principles of that system , before he again exhibited himself in such a manner ; bid him to look at the present state of societ y , notwithstanding all the preaching and praying which had been done for the last 1800 years ; look to the present mass of misery in our gaols , our workhouses , our factories , and the habitations of the poor ; see the vast mass

      of misery produced by our wars , by our litigations . See the vast expense of our army , our navy , our police , and the w hole host of clerical ministers of every denomination ; and after all , look to the thousands of wretched prostitutes , debtors , criminals , paupers , and beggars , and then say , what good your religion and your boasted laws have done for you . People may profess religion , or what faith they please but if they do not act in conformity therewith , all such religion is vain ; is but as a , sounding brass , or a tinkling cymbal . We , Socialists , mean to put a final end to extortion and oppression ; to feed all the hungry , clothe all the rJaked , and remove all complainings from our streets . —{ Correspondent . )
