      THE PAUPERS DRIVE . 9 ex&b * s a grim one-horse hearse is a jolly round tret ; To the churchyard a pauper is going , I wot : Theroad it is rough , and the hearse has no springs , And hark to the dirge that the sad driver sings : " BatUe his bones orer the stones ; He's only a pauper , whom nobody owas i " Oh , where an the mourners ? alas . ' there are none ; He has lef t not a gap in the world now he * gone ; Not ateax inthe eye of child , woman , or man . Io the grave with his carcase as fast as yon can : " Battle hia bones over toe stones ; He's only a paaper , whom nobody owns r "What & jolting and creaking , and splashing and din ! The wMp bow it cracks ! and the wheels how they

      How the dirt , right and left , o ' er the hedges 1 b hnrPd ! Bie panper at length mates a noise in the world f « Battle his bones over the stones ; He ' s only a pauper , whom nobody owns !" j Poor pauper defunct ! he 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 BOt be long , if he goes on so fast " Battle his bones over the stones ; He's only a pauper whom nobody owns !"

      Ton bumpkins ! who stare at yonr brother convey ed , Behold what respect to a cleddy is paid , And ba joyful to think , -when by de&tk you ' re laid low , You ' re a chance to the grave like a gemman to go . " . Rattle his bones over the Btones ; He ' s only a pauper , whom nobody owns !" Buta trace to this strain ; formysonl 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 !

      " WHO STOPP'D THE CLOCK ?" A SOUTH SAX 03 LEGEND . «• Who stopp'd the dock ? " bawled a wicked young wigbt After the Yicar with all his might , Who heard the cry , As , riding by , The beautiful pile of SL 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 . Fer the character good of a clock yon must know Is not to stand Blent , but constantly go . The Yic&r he heard the words it mutter'd , And-whidi , be affirms , srs not fit to be uttar'd—Breathinf of vengeance , oaths , and spite—Quite a shock to tbe ea » of a Ticar polite .

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

      * T » as impossible quite , It mustbea sprite , Who owed to the Ticar a devillish spite . The Ticar his trusty horsewhip grasp" d And waited to see if any one pass'd . For Ms spirit was roused I trow—The offending mortal is doomed to feel What she Ticar intends for bis carcase ' s uwo 7 , OrelM to experience " So ? oj } ion's seal , " __ To make him wiser grow , And not lo give vent to direst malignity , If or dare to offend Ticarial dignity .

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

      And the Ticar betaitth himself to his bed ; But hesleepetb Bel , fora motley crew Disturb his slumbers quite—Of various forms , and ef many a hue Were the imps that the Vicar's curtain drew , And gambolled in his sight , — And they mouthed and they jabfeer'd , they sung and theypray'd , And the heart of tbe Titar was sorely dismayed , For at bis bed-side -In chorus they cried Those terrible words that his spirit did shock , " Fes scaly varmint .

      EEIGBLET . Disgraceful Condtci of a Jack is Office . —Ou Wednesday week an adjourned case was disposed of before William Ellis , and Edwin Greenwood , Esquires , ai the Court Honse , Keighley , at the decision of -which we are certainly surprised , especially when we recal to mind a remark Blade at a special meeting of magistrates recently held at Wakefield , for the purpose of appointing a stipendary magistrate as chairman , at the Pontefract Sessions , namely , that "it would reduce the rupectabilitv of tbe bench by having a paid

      chairman . " Bat it may be asked , would it rednce the " respectability of the bench' * which consents to have its mandates executed by an individual who attempts sach outrageous attacks on female delicacy as are developed in the following statement of facts ?—The "wife of a working man of the name of Carr , being in search of her husband , who was at a neighbouring pot-house , was met by a preserrator of morals in the shape of a deputy constable , who accosted her , and made proposals to her of a most indecent nature ; she indignantly refused the offers of the brute , on which he threatened to confine her in the lock-up .

      She immediately eomnKuricated the circumstance to the husband , who lost no time in in procuring a summons for this guardian of morality . But to the astonishment of all acquainted with tb . e facts , the magistrates adjourned the case on the plea that she vras not the wife of Carr ! How that couid affect the « se we are a * a loss to divine . However , a copy of the marriage register was produced , after a journey of twenty mile 3 to procure it . The case was then resumed , and disposed ef , the magistrates only mulcting the disgusting wretch in the Eumof ten shillinga , with an admonition eoaehed thus— "we cannot allow such conduct ! ' * Though we may differ politically from , we , nevertheless , feel the greatest respect fox the sitting magistrates , and cannot refrain from making the enquiry , why the monster was not at ouee dismissed from tbe office be has bo much disgraced ! That ought to have been the least penalty k-flicted on the unblushing violator of the rules of common decency . —Correspondent .

      BTBMIHGHAM . —UreMPLOT £ P Opkraiiy . es ~ Isxebf . eb £ 5 Ce of the Police . —A meeting of destitute working men was intended to be held on Gosta Green , last Monday , and at ten o ' clock , the aoar appointed , there was a small sprinkling of haggard-locking beings standing ronnd a banner ¦ which called on the unemployed operatives to meet * t G ost * Green , every Monday , at ten o ' clock . A tempo rary hustings was erected for the occasion , and one of the party , with a printed paper on his hat , signifying that he was unemployed , stood on the hustings to offer a few remarks , when several police-

      men headed by an inspector , entered the meeting , and insisted on its immediate dispersion . Some hesitation was evinced by the poor starving men , who expostulated'with the inspector on the inhumanity of his condnct , but to no purposB ; they were compelled to more off . Mr . Edward Brown and Mr George White protested against the interference , and proceeded the magistrates , at the Public Office , where Mr . Brown laid the case before them . - ; He depicted the distress that existed amongst the working men , and pointed out the penalties that would 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 magistrate * 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 public thoroughfare , and that meetings of any description would not be allowsd . The deputation complained of the injustice " of the cas « , and pointed out the fact of other meeting being held on the same spot , and other " obstructions" 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 all who chose to assist them , in tin boxes , the proceeds of which were afterwards divided amongst those who walked in the procession ' The next meeting will be held at the Railway Station , Dnddeston Row , at ten o ' clock on Monday next , when all who are out of employ , or only partially employed , are requested to attend , as they will not be interfered with at that place .

      Distress in Crompton . —The alarming distress in this township has induced some of the humane amongst the working men to travel it through , visit the honse of every operative , and inquire into the state of the wretched inmates , who are in a great many instance ? literally starving .

      more to eat on that day . On the following morning they went to the mill again , bnt when they returned at breakfast-time there was nothing to tat ; the bell rung again , and again they went to work without anything to eat , and this kind of suffering they frequently endure . —John Cooper , Leonardine-crosa , made application for relief , on Wednesday last , to the overseers of Thornham , but instead of relieving , the Overseer kindly offered him work in Jarrat Wood , " at wages not to exceed fonrpence per day , and for this he was to attend before day-break on the following morning , thus giving him the alternative to die of want or work at fourpence per day .

      The Slockport Advertiser says , ** The / / allowing facts , which we have received from an authentic source will enable our readers to form some idea of tbe 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 6 995 ; and the avenge 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 averae

      income per head per week was only llfd . All this is in addition to the relief granted by the guardians , which has increased enormously with thedulnessot trade . In the year ending March , 1836 , the total sum paid for the relief of the poor of Great Bolton was £ 1 , 558 . In the year ending March , 1841 » the stun paid for the relief of the poor of Great Bolton was £ 1 , 558 .

      Suicide of a Magistrate . —An inquest was held on Saturday , at the Red Lion , Laytonstone , by Mr . C . L . Lewis , coroner , on view of the body of Mr . Jacob Simms , one of the magistrates for the county of E-sex . It appeared from the evidence of Stephen Steflin , deceased ' s butler , that , about half-past five o ' clock last Thursday afternoon , deceased , having assisted witness to bottle wine in tbe cellar , went up stair 3 into his dressing-room , soon after which witness was alarmed by Mrs . Simms coming down into the kitchen greatly agitated , and requesting witness and the cook to go up stairs into deceased ' ^ dressiBg-room and see what was tho matter , as she ( Mrs . Simms ) had heard the noise of a heavy fall on

      tbe floor there . Witness and the cook accordingly went cp , when they found deceased's dressing-room door locked , and instantly proceeded to burst it open , as deceased did not answer when called to . On entering the room deceased was fonnd lying on the floor in a pool of blood , with his throat most horribly cut . The razor v ^ itb which he had committed the act was lying on the dressing-table near him . Surgical aid was immediately obtained , but it was found that life was completely extinct . It further appeared that deceased had lately been

      subject to fits of mental aberration . About a week ago he , without assigning any cau&e , gave the witness ( Steffin ) notice to quit his service , and afterwards expressed his astonishment when he found that the man was preparing to leave , declaring that he never had the least idea of dismissing him , and that it was utterly impossible he could ever have told him to leave .

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 the deep presented himself at St . Martin ' s-le-Grand , and made known his wishes . The letters were found , and tendered to him on condition of the payment of the postage , with the fee for stopping them in transitu , and proving that he was the real veritable person he represented himself to be . The latter point was the difficulty . He knew

      plenty of people who could easy do this if the Postoffice would allow time , but the clerk said , " Twenty minutes , Sir , and the letters must be re-bagged , and on the way to Liverpool . " "Twenty minutes I " echoed the merchant purser , " if I were to set all sail I could not fetch a friend and be back in time . Twenty minutes ! " he exclaimed again , striking his hand against his forehead . After a moment ' s pause he triumphantly cried out , I have it ! I can prove my own identity I" when he forthwith drew out and presented to the astonished man in office the tail of his shirt with his name and address thereon in clear and distinct characters ! The clerk could not deny such evidence , and the letters were immediately delivered . . " ¦"' ¦¦

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 bad deposited her treasure .

      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 obey iug the supposed request in a state of somnambulism , he had fallen feet foremost down the well ; almost miraculously escaping destruction . He was discovered in , the morning by Borne one going to the well , and drawn up by the rope . A Gateshead paper is the authority for this tale .

      The " Fasting" Man . —Previously to Cayariagh ' s departure from this town ( Reading ) j on Monday , to appear at the Queen ' s Bench , this worthy was allowed an unlimited quantity of food ; on which occasion he proved that his appetite is at least as prodigious as his much-boasted "fasting" powers ; and on his arrival in London he made another meal j which would have astonished any of the credulous believers " in his total abstinence from mortal food .

      Strange Coincidence . —There is at present living at Taxholef , near Blackburn , a woman named Agnes Brindle , to whom tho following extraordinary incidents have happened during her progress through life . She has been the mother of twenty children—ten sons and ten daughters—of whom two were born in one day ; two were christened in / one day ; two : were married in one day .

Shortly after her marriage this said female planted in her garden an apple pippin , which grew in the course of years into a tree , from the wood of which she . supplied herself , not many years since , with a wooden leg , haying had the misfortune to lose one of the props which had supported her for many years .

      Distress in Boltonj— 'The following facts , which we have received from an authentic source , will enable our readers to form some idea of the pressure of distress in Bolton . DuriDg the four / weeks , ending January * 22 , 1842 , the number of applications for relief to the Bolton Benevolent Society amounted to 6 , 095 ; and the average income of , the 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 . . Ail this is in addition to the relief granted by the Guardians , which has increased enormously with the dulness of trade . In the year ending > 3 Vlarch , 1836 , the total sum paid for the relief of the poor of Great Bolton , was £ 1 ^ 58 . In the year ending March , 1841 , the sum paid for the relief of > -he poor was £ 6 , 268 ; an increase of 300 per cent . — Manchester Guardian .

      Statk 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 face 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 worlds in the shape of competition , yet the distress at Leicester is such , that the population are begging in mobs of 200 or 300 . We are pained to state , that the silk Warp blond hands , whohave been advanced in their wages by one house for some mouths , ; 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 cotton nose , The damage done to the frames at Westthorpe , it appears , was not very serious , aauafortis paving been poured upon the needles and sinkers during the night . The needles ; in most cases , are rendered unfit for work ; but the Binkers 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 Monday , who came to the determinatioa of resistiog the reduction ; A list of prices given by the other houses of the trade has been presented toihV house io question , Which they object to , on the ground that the document onl y states those that are giving » high price , and not those that are giving low prices , and consequently ) t is not Batisfactory .

Miles rose and spoke for a quarter of an hour , the tiine allowed by the lecturer , showing the enormous increase in our manufactures with comparAtivelj little increase in the cost of production , thus demonstrating the condition of the people to be fait deteriorating , notwithitanding the vast increase in our commerca . ¦ • • - .

Mr C . condemned the Corn Laws , and said be was for-a 'total and immediate repeal ; but be denied those laws could be repealed till the People ' s Charter is first made the law of the land . He challenged the lecturer to discasa the question aa to the best means to ensure the total repeal of those laws . Mr . C . spoke

      with considerable effect , contending that the parties at present agitating that question dare not repeal those laws , under existing circumstances , as in that ca 9 e the whole monetary system would be deranged , the Bank of England become bankrupt , and with them the whole banks in the country , without whose aid no manufacturer , or merchant , in this country could carry on for one month : Mr . 6 . retired amidst loud cheers , again challenging the lecturer to discuss the best means of obtaining a repeal of those and all other bad laws ^ ¦ .

      Mr . Acland replied , saying public © pinion would repeal the Corn Law , and that the same ' public opinion would gain the Charter . It was now eleven o ' clock , and according to the lecturers arrangements , ' the discussion was adjourned till the Tuesday night following ; Tuesday night ,- Mr . Mjlbs moved " That Mr . Q . Ross , should take the chair . " To this Mr . Acland objected , stating the meeting was his , and they were there merely from courtesy . ( Strong disapprobation . ) He then signified if a cbTairr man was appointed he would leave the meeting to themselves . v . "¦ . . ' -:, . / ' . ¦¦¦ . ¦ // .. ;; v . ¦ ¦ . ¦¦ - . . . .. ¦ ¦ ¦" . ' . ¦ ¦ ' : •'¦ ¦ ¦¦/¦ It was considered the best course to allow the discussion to go on , being / satisfied principle would triumph over class expediency . .

      Mr . R Buchanan came forward amidst loud and continued cries of "chair , chair . " At last , Mr . B . was allowed to proceed without a chairman . The speaker took up the factory system , which be exposed in a manner that placed the Whigs in a dilemma from which they will not in a hurry extricate themselves . , Mr . Acland replied , contending the repeal ef the Corn Laws would relieve our manufacturers from their present embarassments , and procure plenty of food for thousands who are at this present time in actual starvation / The two gentlemen continued speaking fifteen minutes alternately , when Mr . Robert Malcolm rose to reply to what he called "the Whig arguments of the lecturers and the Tory arguments of Mr . Buchannan . "

      The moment Mr . Malcolm attempted to speak he was met with a general storm of hisses , which continued for about ten minutes , riotwithstamling the Utmost endeavour on his ( Mr . M . ' s ) part . to command . in hearing . Matters were beginning to assume a rather serious aspect , when Mr . Moir stepped forward t » the front of the hustings , and was received with lonJ cheers . On Mr . Moir presenting himself Mr . Malcolm retired . / ' ¦ . ' ' ¦ ¦ ¦ ; •"¦¦ - : . ; - - : . ¦ ; - .. " Air . Mo IR said he presented himself before them as as uncompromising Chartist ( Enthusiastic cheers . )

      Mr . M . britfly referred to the treacherous conduct of the conduct of Whfgs 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 Estatlished Clergy can be . The one whose stipend is regnlated 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 smother to do it "

      Here the Rev . Mi . M ^ Jean , who was sitting beside the young gentleman to whom Mr . M . was administer . ing this caetigatibn , rose , and was in the act of running at Mr . Moir with a large bludgeon , when Mr . J : Colquhoun sprang forward , and seizing Mr . M'Jean by the collar , set him down on his chair . It is unnecessary , to add , that but for the timely interference of Mr . Colquhoun , the consequences might have been serious . Mr . Mom resumed amidst the plaudits of the meeting . He safd the people were always opposed to the Corn Laws ; > n proof of which the people of Glasgow burned in effigy the notorious Kirkman Finlay , opposite his own door in 1816 , after the passing pi the present Corn Lawa , Kirbman Finlay being then Member for Glasgow . ¦ .

      Mr . PaouDFOOT followed , urging the People ' s Charter as the only means calculated to ensure the repeal , not only of the Corn Laws , but all those bad laws inflicted upon the people under class legislation , adding that no man who waa not a Chartist could be a good man . The Lepturer 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 the anxiety visible on almost every countenance composing the vast assemblage , which could not be less than 5 , 000 , clearly indicated that something decisive was looked for . / At eight o ' clock the Lecturer , accompanied by Baillie Hamilton , and many other leading men of the , League , ascended the platform . Messrs . Moir , Proudfopt , Ross , Lang , Hendersem , fcc . also took their seats on the platform . ¦ .:.. ¦ . ' : " .. . . ' ¦ ¦ ' ' ¦ . ¦¦ ¦¦ ¦ ¦¦ ' ' ¦ ¦" :

      Mr . Moir moved thai ; Mr . George Ross should take the chair . . .. .. . ¦ . ¦ .. ,- , . . / . ¦ ¦ '¦' - ' . . . ¦ : ' ' To this Mr . Acland again objected . Rather than lose the discussion ( Acland having signified his determination to leave the meeting to themselves , should a Chairman be appointed ) , ihe discussion was again allowed to proceed without a Chairman . Mn MURpuY , of Anderston , presented himself , and was received with strong marks of disapprobation . After several attempts to be heard , he was obliged to retire , without being allowed to finish one sentence . Mr . BUCHaNan rese , and after commenting on a few points formerly advanced by Mr . Adand , he concluded hia first quarter of an hour by calling on Mr . Acland to state what guarantee be 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 benefit without other changes , he was not the man to assert . The only guarantee was probability ; 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 House appointed by the whole people , Mr . Buchanan then went into a lucid description of the factory system , shewing how manual labour waa superseded by machinery , the machines being now wrought by women and cbiidren . While factories rose like mushrooms , the men were laid on the shelf . He denied that a repeal of those laws would confer substantial benefit on the people , if they had not a yearly power over the deliberations of the House of Commons . He concluded by cal iug on Mr . Ac and to shew on what grounds both parties could join .

      Mr . Acland—Th « Corn Laws . ( "No , no , " and disapprobation . ) . It is more probable they will join on the Cora Laws than , on the Chatter . ( " No , no , " and hisses . ) ' ; . '¦ . . ¦ . . . ' ¦ . ..-. . ' ¦ ¦ : . ¦ ' . ' . Mr . Buchanan condemned the paper money and banks aa injurious to the people . ^ r . Acland— He never knew of anywho got credit who called it a bad thing ; ( Hisses and strong disapprobation . ) ¦ "' ' - Mr . Buchanan in this and bis fourth or last speech completely finished his opponent Acland lost all hold of the meeting . He was looked upon during the last hour mora as an object of coBimisseration than as the antagonist , Mr . B . demanding of him to show how an

      people were to be benefltted , and what pledge could he give on the part of those whom be represented there ( the League ) , that should the people join the middle class just now , the middle class would not act towards the people aa 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 Bee bow any man . could guarantee what might be done in future . To this point Mr . Buchanan held Acland throughout , and en that ha finished him . Mr . Buchanan said we could , only calculate the future from the experience of the past . That man , b « he middle class man or an aristocrat , who deny that to bis fellow men which he himself enjoy * . Js'ttnworthy ot auch privllejfe . v ; v

      Mr . Acland acknowledged the Charter : would do more good , but thought the people should join for the CorniLaw repeal . He would advise the people not to abuse the middle daises . ( Cries of Qaestion . ) At five minutes to eleven o ' clock tbe discussion closed . Acland sat like a man who bad fought determined to die game . He certainly made the most of a bad cause .

" / :.- : ; . J '¦' . ; : Mr . Mom rose and moved the following resolution , seconded by Mr . Proudfoot , ; That this meeHrig having heard the lectures of Mr . Acland and tbe discussions consequent thereon , on this and the previous evenings , is of opinion that , unjust ia principle and crnel in operation as the Corn and ProvisionLaws are , it sees not the shadow of a hope of thes x a ws being repealed till the people possess full political power ; and further , it deems it proper to declare its conviction that the People ' s Cbarter should be first made the law of the land , jn order to ensure to tho people the full benefit of such repeal when effected . " The reading ef . this resolution was reeeived witli deafening cheers . :

      Mr , Moir , fa moving this resolution , referred fo Mr . Acland ' s fluggestion as to treating the middle classes civilly . He ( M . r . M ; j would ask bow were the people treated by the middle classes , and their organs , the whole press in the interest of the party from the Morning Chronicle down to the Loyal Patter , traduced and insulted the people . Was this to be borne with impunity ? No .

      Mr . Moir then took a show of hands for the resolution , -when Jn tl' « Ta » t inultiturlo . which could not be leas than from five to six thousands , the Hall being crammed full in every corner , a forest of bands / 'ww held up . / Mr . M . said , in order that public opinioa might be fairly tested on this important question , he would now call on those who were opposed to the re « solution to hold up both hands . From , / two to thre « hundred bauds were held up—say three hundred . Acland held up both hands against it So much for the great change in public opinion ! :....- . Let ng man anppose this was tbe vote of a faction ; it was the Whigs * own meeting . A fairer fight and a more decisive moral victory never was obtained . Tkis was a epol and deliberate vote , calmly come to , after six hours * lecture , and nine hours * discussion . Aye , and it waa the vote of many a starving man . r

      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 Some of them since have declared that had they a repeal of the Corn Lawsi they did hot care if the Charter was not obtained a hundred years hence .
