      " WHO STOPP'D THE CLOCK ? A SOUTH SAJXO 5 LE 6 E 5 D . « T 7 ho stopp'd the clock ?¦ bawled a wicked young wight After the Yicar with all his might , Who heard the ay , As , riding by , The beautiful pile of St Peter ' s drew nigh . The clock kokM down , And its sable fcce Wrinkled itself to a terrible frown At viewing the author of all its disgrace . Per the character good of a clock you must know 1 b not to Htsnd silent , but constantly go . The Yicar be heard the words it mntter * d . And which , be affirms , are not fit to be utter'd—Breathing of vengeance , oaths , and spite—Qnite a shock to the ea-a of ^ Yicar polite .

      y o word did the Yicar deign in reply , But spurred bis gallant mare "Until that church he had quite passed by , When he thought upon that dreaded cry Which lingered still in air Who stopp'd the dock ?" Was a thunderingshock Enough a staid man fromMs saddle to knock . Again snd again did he hear the sound—Dared mortal intrnde With such language rude In a plica too where parsons and police abound *

      Tsras impossible quite , It must be a sprite , Who owed to the Yicar a drrillish spite . The Yicar his trusty horsewhip grasp'd Aad waited to ste if any one pass'd , For his spirit was reused I trow—The offending mortal is doomed to feel What the Vicar intends for bis carcase ' s treoJ , Or else to experience " Soloynon's seal , " To make him wiser grow , And not to give Tent to direst malignity , N or aare to offend Ylcarial dignity .

      Ha ! what does he see ? Who ' this passing by ? By bell and by hook 'tis a boy , And in the yonnjf vagabond' s visage and eye , A milchieTons gleam does the Ylc&r espy ! Yes , ' tis he that has dared to annoy TheViearof B— : , that mild , pious man . Ko Christian would bear ft , and no parson can . Tie thrashing is ever—the Yicar goes home J Be is silent asd sad , and he dines all alone . ' Be thinks of the dock , And then sips the fioek , And tbe terrible wards still ran In bis head , — And the Yicar betakethliimself to to bed :

      Bat besleepeth net , fora motley crew Disturb his slumbers quite—Of radons tanns , and ef many a hue Were the imps that the Vicar ' s curtain drew , And gambolled in his sight , — And they mouthed and they jabberM , they sung and tfceypray ^ , And the heart of the Yitar was sorely dismayed , For at bis bed-side In chorus they cried Tkoee terrible words that his spirit did shock , " To * scaly vxrmint . " Who depp'd tht dock P JjEWtt .

      The Stockport Advertiser says , "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 . During the four weeks , ending January 22 , 1842 , the number of applications for relief to the Bolton Benevolent Society amounted to 6 995 ; and thfe averageJncome of the applicants was only 13 d . per head per week . Of these , 828 , have been -rejected ., aa not coming within the limits fixed by the society . Of the remaining 6 , 157 , who hare been relieved , the averae

      income per head per week was only ll | d . All this is in addition to the relief granted by the guardians , which has increased enormously with the dulness of trade . In tha year ending March , 1836 , the total sum paid for the relief of the poor of Great Belton was £ 1 , 558 . In the year ending March , 1841 , the sum paid for the relief of the poor of Great Bolton was £ 1 , 558 . In the year ending March , 1841 , the turn , paid for the relief of the poor was £ 6 , 268 ; an increase of 300 per cent .

The letters were found , and tendered to him on condition of the payment of the postage , with the fee for stopping thum in trauiitu , and proving that he wa 8 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 Postr ofibe would allow time , but the clerk said , " Twenty minutes , Sir , and tho letters must ba re-bagged , and on the way to Liverpool . " "Twenty minutes !' echoed the merchant purser , "if . 1 were to set all sail 1 could not fetch a friend and be back in time . Twenty minutes !

      When the Apostle of Temperance was administering the Pledge in Waterford Great Chapel on Monday last , a degree of mirth that scarcely beseemed the sacredness of the edifice , was caused by a tipsy man , who , after taking the pledge insisted upon kissing Doctor Mathew !

      Strange Coincidence . —There is at preeent living at Taxholes , near Blackburn , a woman named Agnes Brindle , to whom the following extraordinary incidents have happened during her progress throughlifr . She has been the mother of twenty children—ten sous aud ten daughters—of whom two were born in one day ; two were christened in o » e day ; two were married in one day ; and two were buried in one day . Shortly after her marriage this said female planted in her garden an apple pippin , which grewin 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 ot the props which had supported her for many years .

      Distress in Bolton . —The followingfacts , which wo have received from an authentic source , will enable our readers to form some idea of the pressure of distress in Bolton . During the four weeks , ending January 22 , 1842 , the mimbor of applications for relief to tho Bolton Benevolent Society amounted to 6 , 095 ; and the averago income of ; the applicants waB only thirteenpence per head per week . Of those eight hundred and twenty-eight have been rejected , as not coming within the Jimits fixed by

      tho Society . Of the remainitig 6 , 157 , who have been relieved , the average income per head per week was only elevenpence three-farthingp . Ail this is in addition to tha relief granted by the Guardians , vthicb has increased enormously with the dulneis of trade . In the year ending March ; 1836 , the total sum paid for the relief of the "aoor of Great Bolton , was £ 1 , 558 . In the year ending March , 1841 , the sum paid for the relief of the poor was £ G . 268 ; an increase of 300 per cent . — Manchester Guardian .

      State of the Hosiery and Lace Trades . —There is , as yet , no improvement in the drmand in any Of the numerous branches of the hositry or the lace 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 tho wprld , in the shape of competitian . yet the distress at Leicester is such , that tho population are begging in mobs of 200 or 300 . We are pained to s ; atp , that the siik warp blond hands , who have been adTanccd in their wages by one bouse for . some ruojithp , have beenVa ^ aiti reduced the eiakth of their wages . At the same

      time , blond nets have boen lowered in the market considerably , as the rest of tho manufacturers absolutely refused to advance the wages . The excitement in the villages still continues respecting the abatement of the price for making cotton hose . The damage done to the frames at Westthorpe , it appears , was not very serious , aquafortis having been poured upon the needles and sinkers during the night . The needles , in most cases , are rendered unfit for work ; but the sinkers will , most of them , be made to work again , after tho roughness is taken off . A meeting of deputies , from about twelve of the

      villages , was held on Mondayj who came to the determination of resisting the redaction . A list of prices siven by the other houses of the trade has been presented to the house in question , which they object to , on tho ground that the document only states those that are giving a high price , and not those that are giving low prices , and consequently it is not satisfactory . In the me'inwhjlo , some of the villages , streh as Arnold , in which about 800 frames are employed , are in a state of great excitement ^ some acts of violence and iuaubordmation have occurred .

      Mysterious Affair at Makfield . — -On the 24 th inst ., a coroner ' s inquest was held to inquire into the ciroamstanceB attending the deaths of Elizabeth Holmes , the elder , Elizabeth Holmes , "the-youpgerj and Elizabeth Holmet i , an infant . From the evidence produced , it appeared r that the younger woman was the cause of her own death and that of the others , although the motive cannot be conjectured . It seems that on Tuesday mornirig the old woman was employed in rolling up some paste ; to make a pudding . Her daug hter iianded her a jar of preserved currants , which the ^ ld woman used for a pudding . Trie mother and daughterdined together on mutton broth and the pudding . Two hours _ after ¦ at

      dinner the old womats wia taken ill , and died _ four o ' clock . The dwg hter was also taken ill , but lingered till six o ' clock the next morning , when she expired . Early on that day she told one of her sisters , who was attending her , there was some preserved dumpling in the closet , and that ^ she oould take it , and give it to her children , which ahe did . After partaking of it all her fite ohildren were taken ill , and one , a baby , died . On a post mortem examination of the bodies , the presence of arsenic was detected by the usual tests , and the oause of death attributed to that poison . The Jury rfitarned a verdict , " That the three deceased died fro * n the effects of arsenic , but by whom it vtas placed in the dumplings no evideate appears . "

      Mr . J . Colquhoun rose , and said he wished to say a few words on the subject . He said they were not there to diseusa the subject of machinery ^ that would ba an after question . The legitimate anbjeci before them waa- the Corn Laws , and how to get qnit of them . Mr C . condemnod the Corn Laws , and said he waa for a total and immediate repeal ; but he denied those laws cbnld be repealed till the People '* Charter is first made the law of the land . He challenged the lecturer to discuss the question aa to the best means to ensure Uie total repeal « f those laws . Mr . C spoke

      with considerable effect , contending that the parties at present agitating thai question dare aot repeal those laws , under existing circumstances , as in that case 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 bne month . Mr . C . retired arnidBfc loud cheers , again challenging the lecturer to discuss the best means of obtaintug a repeat of those and all other bad laws . ' .- ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦ . ¦ ¦ .. . ¦ ¦'¦ : ' : ¦ : - '¦ ¦; ¦ . . ' ' .

      Mr . ACT 4 ND replied , Baying publio opinion 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 . Miles moved < " That ftlr . G . Ross , ' " ' should take the chair . " ¦ , '; .. To this Mr . Acland objected , stating the meeting ¦ was Mai siad they were tAiete merely from courtesy .

      Mr , B . Buguanan 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 "he exposed in a manner that placed the XVh igs in a dilemma from which they will not in a hurry extricate themselves . Mr . Acland replied , contending the repeal ef the Com Laws would relievo our manufActurera from their present embarassraenta , and procure plenty of food for thousands who are at this present time in actual statvatiou . The two gentlemen continued speaking fifteen minutes ftlternately , when Mr . Robeht Malcolm roae to reply to what he Killed "the Whig arguments of the lecturers and the Tory arguments of Mr . Buchannau . " ,

      The moment Mr . Malcolm attempted to spoak he was met with a general stcinu of hisses , which continued for about tun minutes , notwithstanding the utmost end * avour on his ( Mr . M . 'S ) part to command a liearing . Matters were beginning to assume a rather serious aspect , when Mr . Moir stepped forward t « the front of tha hnstings , and was received with lond cheers . On Mr . Moir presenting himself Mr . Malcolm retired . : ' . / - . ¦ . ' .. ' ¦ ¦ ' . ' ¦ : ¦ ' . - ¦ ¦ . . . - ' . ¦ Mr . MOIJR said he presented himself before them aa as uncompromising Chartist . ( Eathusiastic cheers . )

      Mr . M . brit fly referred to the treacherous conduct of the conduct of Whigs to » ar . Js the peopled Lpok to the the dissenting clergy in Scotland in reference to this question of late . These fellows are as selfish as the Estat-lished Clergy can be . The one whose stipend is regulated by the price of wheat wishes to beep things a , 8 they are ; the other ( dissentingj who is paid ata fixed money rate wishes to jsecare a cheap loaf . ( Here one of tile Whigs on the platform cried , " Pat him out . ") Moir turned round , ; and in a scern voicej staring the fellow in the face , said , ' Come forward , you coward , and ^ do not as k anoihor to do it . "

      v Here " the Rev . Mr . M'JciMj , -who was sitting beside the young gentleman to whom Mr . M . was administering this castigation , rose , and vras in the ast of running at Mr . Moir with a large bludgeon , when Mr . J . Colquhouri eprsng forward , and se ' zing Mr . M'Jeea by the collar , setvhliH . down on hia caair , It is unnecessary to add , that but for the timely interference of Mr . Colquhoun , the connoquences might have been seriotis . Mr . Moir resumed anitc ' st the plaudits of the meetiiiy . He said the people were always opposed to the Coru Laws ; in proof of which the people of Glasgow burned in tfngy the notorious KirkmauFiuliy , opposite his own door in 1810 , a ^ ter the passing of tbe presen Corn Laws , Kirkwan Finlay being then Member for Glasgow . .

      Mr . jProvdfoot followed , urgmg the People's Cbnrter as the only me , uis calculated to ensure the repeal , not only of the Corn Laws , but all those bad laws irifltcted upon the people under class legislation , adding that no man who w ; ts not a Chanist could be a good num . The Lecturer replied , r 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 waa looked for . At eight o ' clock the Lecturer , accompanied by Batilte Hamilton , and many other leading men of tha League , nscended the platform . Messrs . Moir , Proudfoot , Ross , Ling , Henderson , ice . also took their seats on the platform .

      Mr . Mom moved that > Ir . G ? orge Ross should take the chair . To this Mr . Acland again objected . Rather than lose the discussion ( Acland having signified his determination to lea » e the meeting to themselves , should a Chairmanbe appointed ) , the discussion "was again allowed to proceed without a Chairman . Mr . MuiicHY , of Anderston , presented himself , and was received with strong niarkBof disapprobation . After several attempts to be heard , he wa 3 obliged to retire , without iming allowed to finish one sentence . Mr . Buchanan rese , and aftpr commfenting on a few points formerly advanced by Mr . Aclmd , he concluded his first quarter of an hour by calling ; on Mr . Acland to state what' guarantee he could give that the working cHsses would be betttr alt 9 r a repeal of the Corn Laws than they are ..

      Mr , Acland—All the guarantee Mr . Buchanan could expect wm the . probable result . ( Hisses and confusion . ) That a repeal of the Corn Laws would be a beniefit without other changes , he was not the man to a ' sscirt . Tho only guarantee was probability ; one thing , it would guarantee more food and more labour . Mr . Buchanan contemled the Manchester League would never get these lawa 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 syatem , shewing how manual lal ) our was superseded by macliiBery , the machines being now wrought by women and chiidren . While factoriea roie like mushrooms , the men were laid on the shf-lf . He denied ( hat a repeal of those lawa would confer substantial benefit on the people , if they bad not a yearly power over tha deliberations of the House of Commona . He concluded by cal ing on Mr . Ac and to shew oa what grounds both parties could join .

      Mr , Acland—Th « Corn Laws . ( "No , no , " and disapprobation . ) It is more probable they will join on the Corn Laws than on the Charter . (" No , no , " and hisse . s . y ¦ . ' . . ,. •• ' ¦ . . ' . ¦' . . " . - '¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦ '¦ , ¦; . Mr , Buchanan condemned the paper money and banks as injurious to tlie people . . ' ¦' . : Mr .

Acland lost all hold of the meednsf . He was looked upon during the last hour more as an object of coBimissei-ation than as the antagonist , " Mr . B . demanding of him to show how an

      people were to he benefitted , and what pledge could he give on the part of those whom he represented there ( the League ) , that should the people join the middle claw just now , the middle claaa would m > t act towards the people m 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 see how any man cbald gnanntee what might be done in future . To thlt pokil M » . Buchanan held Acland thronghemt , and n that ho fiai « bed him . Mr . Buchanan said we could , only calovlate the future from the experience of th « past . That man , ba he middle class man or an aristocrat , ! who d « ny that to his fellow men which he hinuelf enjoy « , l » ¦» worthy of such privilege .

      Mr , Aclard acknowledged the Charter wonld do more good , bmt thought the people should join for the Cor * Law tcrmL He would advise the people not to abiue the niddie Classes .

      Mr . Mom , in moving this resolution , referred to Mr . Acland ' s suggestion as to treating the middW classes civilly . He ( . Mr . M . ) wonld ask how were tht 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 witli impunity ? No . So far as be was concerned he would continue to tell the truth of the men . If the truth was hard , he csuld not help it , the fault wae theli own , not his . ;

      Mr . Moia then took a show of hands for the resolu tion , when in the vast multitude , -which could notb » less than from five to six thousands , the Hall being crammed full in every corner , a forest of hands was held up , Mr . M . said , in order that public opinion migbt be faiily tested on this important question , be would now call on those who were opposed to the re » solution to hold up both handa > From two to threa hundred hands were held up—say three hundred Acland held up both hands against it So much tor the great change in-public opinion t : Let n » nian suppose 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 . Tkia was a eool and . ' . deliberate vote , calmly come to , after six hours' lecture ; arid nine houra' discussion .

There is but one opinion as . to the resulb ; They feel it themselves ; they are bound to acknowledge it Some of them since bin * declared that bad Uiey . a repeal of the Corn Laws , they did not care ittka Cuarter was not obtained a hundred years hence .
