We struggle nobly , for we pwt for thee ; We writhe in siackles , yet our souls are free .

      We see before us all that gives us might , Sure harbinger of harmony and love ; Wisdom unfolds a gleam of glorious light , Refreshing as the rain from heaven above .

      22 of the London Fire Establishment . The engine D 16 was the Srst from Lond < w , and reached Depiford in thirty-fite minutes after the fire was discovered .

She lived with a . vow naaed Dew , who was as badly off as herself , an i who . exerted hia utmost to procure for her the mea wof subsistence , but without success . Latterly a littlo te » and dry crust weca all the poor creature had to support her enfeebled frame . At length Dew applied , to fcfcarnian , thewelming-officer , to o ' osain admissiout / or .

      , , Poor Dow wa 3 then told by the " gentlcm&n" oi this beautiful Board , to go- to a hospital , and named some party who would give iiioi a recommendation for Skelton . In fact , it was ch a * that they wished to get rid of the woman , and c » r : d not whither she was sent , eo that she did nor . troMe the parish . Tho woman , it is true , was ciieeased , but she required nourishment raiher than ostsdicine ; and here the relieving offieer and the •' geniJemen" of the Board—the humane gentlemen--violated tho orders of the Commissioners , which expressly direct that relief shall be giveu first , and inquiry made afterwards . Hartnau , however , inquired lirs ; - as to whether deceased was the wi " e of Dow , and fiuding that she was not , he would do nothing for

      her ! So the woman was denied relief because she lived with a man in a Btato of concubinage . Why , if all persons were to be denied admission' within the pale of right , who live in a state of adultery , some thousands would cut a very sorry figure , if they were called ou to show their " marriaxe ceremony . " Harman informed the Coroner , that if " Dow had stated that he was not married , the case would have been diffareat . " So that , believing deceased to be the wife of Dew , ho refused her admission to the Union , and the presumption is , that if hs had known that she was only his trull , she would have been ad mitted J Oh , Mr . Harman , get up a better tale when next you appear before a coroner . The jury were disgusted with the evidence to meet the ease , a , xii very

      properly begged tor an adjournment 01 the n . quiry , Ono witness , a woman iu whose house the deceased and Dew resided , told the Jury that the latter almost starved himself to supply the wants of the deceased ; that he was a man of excellent character , industrious and sober ; albeit , he wa 3 driven from pillar to post , and at length the emaciated partner of his misery died at his Bide . Is it not staudaluus that the poor sbon \ d be thus treated , that they should bo thus insulted—deliberately insulted by parish officers ? There rarely was , before the institution of the Bastile in England , a case of a human being dyingfor want of the necessaries of life , who had made application for relief . To those good old days of pauper management , wo hope the country will

      return . There is another case in to-day ' b paper , affording a beautiful illustration , of Union management . At an iuquest held on two children who were suffocated in bed iu Lambeth workhouse , evidence was sjven by a woman named Scott , that she had not only suckled the two infants when alive , but two others Also in the same establishment ! The woman confessed that she was not compelled to suckle all the infants . 'This-may be tho case ; but ought sucli a thing to be 6 uft \ irod I Could the unfortunate children—four children— have received sufficient nourishment to sustain life from the breast of one woman ! The thiDg is impossible , and the case affords a delectable specimen of modern workhouse management . — Weekly bupaich .

      THE MANCHESTER MASSACRE . sTn reference to the vote of thanks , which was moved in the House of Commons by the present Loud AfELBocBMs to the " Bloody" Yeomanry who on the field of Peterloo , indiscriminately cut down with ¦ " nowly sharpened sabres" men women and children , when peaeeaWy assembled to petition for a " radress of grievances , " tbe Wh ?< r Manchester Guardian has the following paragraph , which is an amusing specimen of lying by inuendo . The paragraph is going " the round" of the Whig Prm . To get rid of the odium attachable to Lord Melbourne for his memorable exploit , even though it should be by lying , is an object worthy of being attained even by such means .

      Here is the paragraph : — " It appears from the report of the Leeds Mercury , that Mr . Hardv , in his speech at the Bradford no . uiuation , made the fallowing observations : — « L » ot at Lord Melbourne . Lord Melbourne was Home Secretary at the time the people of Manchester were cut down , and moved a v « te of thanfcs to the yeomanry . " This statement is a direct falsehood . The Home Secrttaty , at the period in question , was not Lord Melbourne , bub Lord Sidiaouth ; and tbis is a fact which , If Air . Hardy ( Ud not know , a very slight investigation would have

      shown him ; and that investigation he ought in duty to have made , and not have come forward without it to endeavour to blacken thu character of a political adversary by the utterance of a downright untrath . It is nothing to say , as possibly may be said , that Mr . Hardy believed the statement . The man , who , to disparage aa opponeat , makes a statement , which ordinary hiquiry would have shown him to be without foundation , fs only one degree less culpsble—he is not at ali leas mali gnant—than the one who invents and propagates a naked and deliberate lie . "

      What " Btatement" is it , that the writer calls " a direct falsehood ? " The reader will imagine , aad tbe writer intended that he should thus imagine , that tbe " statement" of Lord MKtBotrKNE ' ff moving the vote of thanks in question was the "falsehood . " But this is not so ! He does not dare to say this ; ho only applies tho term " falsehood" to that part of the " statement" which represents Lord Melbourne to have been Secretary of State at the period named : and yet this is dona in such a manner as to lead the reader to beiieve that the whole of the " statement " is " false . " Cunning Isaao ! S « e thegravity with

      which he reproves Mr . H ^ BDy endeavouring to rt blacken the character of a political adversary by the utterance of a downright uutruth , " at the very moment he is lyiag by iuuendo for the purpose of whitewashing Lord Melbourne ! What a" leoture " Mr Hardy gets , on the enormity of the sin of lying faecauso Mr . Harby happened to say , or happens to be reported to have said , that Lord Melbourne was the Secretary of State , when Lord Sidmouth occupied the 3 tool of office 3 To mike this mistake is an attempt to " blacken the character" of Lord Melb ^ uume !

      The facts aro these . Lord Melbourne was not the Secretary of State at the time of the Manchester massacre . Lord Sidmooth was . But Lord Melbourne , ( then called " the Hon . Mr . Lamb , ") was a member of the House of Commons ; « ni in that capacity , acting under instructions from the then Tyry Government , moved that vote of thanks to the buichera for murdering the people , which was passed by the " Hon . House" ! Dare the Afanchesler' Guardian say that this " statement , " is a " dirept falsehood 1 "

In ^* stsoll followed , and c ; -oks for nsarl i two Loom , ne weci over th& vh&h ground *> f tlxe M'Leod affair , the Caroline rebdron , and all other matters connected with it . He then fell upon the letter of Mr . Webster to Mr . Fox , and criticised it at great length . As a constitutional lawyer , he affirmed that the positions assumed by the secretary were grossly erroneous , and that without the least necessity he had capitulated to the British . He

      ( Mr . Ingersoll ) said this capitulation was a stain upon the country which co * ld only be washed put by oceans of Wood . After expatiating with much warmth against the heinous crime of Mr . Webster , he said there was one chance left , which was , for the former to acknowledge his error . He next attacked the style of the letter , and contended that the beautiful structure of the sentences was incompatible with the nervous style of the statesman . He endeavoured to show that both the late and present executive had acted with more firmness than Mr . Webster , and that the latter was the sole eanse ot the humiliating condition in which > we bow were .

      Mr . Alford said that , however much he differed from the present Administration on same points , on this he agreed with them . He approved of the letter of Mr . Webster to the Britiih Fox , and maintained thai the former had not steppad aside an inch from the coarse commeooed by Mr . PoinsctU He thought Mr .
