      THE CHARTER . XX ODE . Hark I hear it ye slaves anci awake , Arise and yoar manacles-break ! Shout the Charter ! the Charter ! the Charter Te -winds blow like trumpets the sound , Waves , roar it all England around ; To arms and give tyrants no quarter . liaiions of voices like one have burst forth Frwai the east and the -west , and the south and the north , Millions of men , irith a-voice like the ocean When tempests hare toss'd it in wildest commotion . Wave oar banner on high , Lite the sun in the sky . Success attend her , , UniTersal the crj The Suffrage ! Liberty !

      From Albion to Scotia , to Cambria to Erin , Sounding , Rebounding , Like thunder on mountains , Oi torreiitJ from fountains , The Charter bursts forth and sii nations tire cheering Hush ! let ; he earthquake ceaae ; P . vjs 2 for a reply ? Silence . '—listen . '—peace ! A Toice from the sky ! A still Email Tcice more distant than all—The chorus of pitriots drops like dew , Into every heart t&e echo doth fall ,

      And every heart beau with life anew—Tis the -voice of God—it says THE CHAETEB ! Fight for it ye heroes—die for it thou martyr ! J- W . Battersea .

      Fills high with hops the souls of suffering slaves . The simple flowers thst dtck the pariots' graves , The lark that sin- s melodious in his flight , The limpid stream whosa lucid water laves The daisy bwiks , snd makes them green and bright A thousand choristers ia dell and grsve , On moor , and mountain , and in shady woods , The busy bees ibat tLroEgh the meadows rove , And myriad fisies in tlie mighty floods ; The ezzle towering oVr tfca rock ? stctp , The wi d bird skirumiag o ' c-r the broad bine Bea , The rash of winds thst o ' er the waters sweep ,

      CARLISLE . —Tee 11 * mcipaL Elfchoks . — Tat annual mnn c ;' r < &l elections : or this boromjh , to supply ; be yacaseies caused by the retiring members , passed over with comparative qaier , and but slight opposition , except in oue or two wards , where ta a . Htmpt was made to ou = t the popular candidates , but withont effect . The members rcturnc-d , for the different wards , are all Liberal ? , which signifies , by the comtaoa newspaper acceptation—Whigs ; indeed , the Tories ' ere have never offered the least opposition to the WhiH party , of which the present corporate body i ? T-rincipilly composed . _ The Tories miiht , we believe , were they so inclined , return members for one or two of the wares ; but were they doiu £ so , th-zj are fully aware that their weight in

      the present cnrpr . tave body would be comparatively light , and of lit ; le or no * avail . If the return of tt .-mbeis f .

In this wani , several a : > emp ' . s hive been made to disfranchise the most liberal portion of the bar , rei 5 cs , xnd had it cot bem for the praiseworthy eitracnsof feveral individual * , and the pecuniary aid of others , the burgess I ! - -, would have b » en so seriously c : rr-iiied , as to have allowed the Wciij party to return who they ci ^ ht have tncught proper , The point e .

The point to which we have alluded has beta established by the tv . o late mayors and a ?; . rsjor > for this bcroa ^ h ; and has enabled the Eur ^ esscs of the War d to which we Htc ai : uded to place their names upon the register , in spice of the many and flagitious attempts to disfranchise them .

      JIe . William Hose , the- well-known author of the Eve'y-Duy Beok and other popular * vork « , died on Sunday last at his home in Gr-ivo place , Tottenham , after a long illness and much Buffering , which he bore with the most exemplary patience . In early life he was celebrated as one of the first satirical writers of the day ; hia " Political Huusa ihat Jack built went through upwards of fifty editions , and it is said , that by iilusirating thia and Bimilar works the fame of George Grnikshank was first established . By pmtinK one of hia satires into the form of the Litur » y of the Church of . England , he was prosecuted for blasphemy ; and his trial before Lord JMlenDorough , which lasted three days , and in which he successfully defended himself in person , with the greatest ability , may be considered one of tho causes oelebres of this country . When Dr . Stodart established the paper , now extinct , called the New Times

      , Mr . Hone paoliahed an admirable bnrlesqae of it , in she form of a newspaper , called the Slap at Slop , by which he gave a nickname to , and eftvotually demolished , that very frothy and pompous person . Having abandoned his career as a satirist , he appeared in later years a 3 the editor of the Every-Day Book , the Year Book , aad the TaUe-Book , three works , aJl oa the same principle of giving antiquariau . information in a popular form , and all exhibiting the indefatigable perseverance and research of Mr . Hone . The Every-Day Book , in which the iaformation given is connected with the days in the year , may be considered as a Standard library book . Towards the close of his life , he became one of the conductors of the Patriot newspaper , and ia this situation he continued till increasing infirmity , occasioned not so mack by years as by the uuremitting labours of his Hie , ccuaed htm to retire from

Melancholy Ca . x * stbophb at Rufforb . —It is ow melancholy duty thia week to record an ev « nt which has cansed . some consternation in the neighbourhood is which it has unfortunately happened , and which eught to be the means of preventing others from pursuing a similar practice , which has brought two unfortunatefeHow-creatures to an untimely grave . George Brookes , waggoner t » the Right Hou . the Earl of Scarborough , aged thirty-eight , aud Ann Brookes , fais wife , aged thirty , resided in a cottage near the noble Earl ' s mansion , at Rufford : a « U it appears ihat on Monday , the 24 th ult ., Ana Bivokes had been whitewashing one of'the bed-rooms upstairs , in which she and her husband usually slept , and in

      oraer to dry ic soon , she placed an iron pan in the room , into which she put some sticks , and sot fire to them . This was during the day . At night , when they went to bed , t . hcy took the warming-pan up stairs to warm uhe bed ; and it is supposed that either the woman or her liu * band , incautiously recruited the embers , and , shutting tho door close , went to bed . About tour o ' clock the next morning , Brookes not coining to look after hia horses as usual , ODe of his fellow servants went and rapped at the door , aiid , supposing that would wake him , he went away , five o ' clock arrived , but still Brookes did not make his appearance ; on which his fellow-servant went again , and , knowing that there was a bay

      sleeping in an adjoining chamber , he rapped until tho boy got up , anti ordered him to go and see if anything was the matter with George . The boy accordingly went and opened the chamber dotr , and , entering the room , was almost tuffocatod with tho smell of sulphor . On looking towards the bed he was horrorstrnck to find Brookes partly on tho bed , but with his face on ihe floor , surrounded by a pool of blood . He was quite dead and cold , and his wife was laid in bed beside him a cold aud lifeless corpse . He immediately opened tho door , and the melancholy fact having been moro fully ascertained , medical aid was immediately sent for , but it was quite unavailing , the vital spark having evidently been extinct for some hours . —NoUinoluim Jouriial .

      Four Persons Poisoned at Guyhibn , hear Wis-* each . —A very serious case of poisoning occurred on Suudsy l : « vt ; trwin the evidence it appeared that a man n ^ aiti W .

A niSboevgv ' r was immediately dit-pa'ched to Wisbeach for assistance , and Mr .

      in great pa : n after the surgeon had left her . The time between tho man's being first taken ill aDd his death was only eight hours : in the case of the woman it vras twelve hours .

Melancholy and Fatal Circumstance—A very melancholy aud fatal circumstance occurred in our g 30 l last night . Tha facts are these : —Thia morning , at theueual hour , the turnkey of the felons ' cell proceeded to that part of the prison for the purpose of unlocking the cells . On reaching the centre coll , at the entrance of which a stove ia placed

      he was perfectly horror-s ruck to perceive three of the prisoners in a state of iasensiWlity . Two of them were almost lifeless at the time th « y were discovered , and in a few minutes afterwards life was completely extinct . Their names are Wm . Sullivan ( under sentence of transportation for seven years ) , and Edm . Burke , charged with the robbery of Mr . Holmcs's fire-arms , in the Glen of Aherlow . The third man , named Callagar , charged with a similar offence , still survives , and hopes are entertained of his recovery . It seems that this fatal occurrence was caused by an aperture in the fluo of the stove , ia which stone coal was burning , and the deaths wore caused by suffocation . We visited the cell afc eleven o ' clock

      this morning , and even at that tiwe the smell waa most offensive and suffocating . An inquest was held before Mr . W . Ryan , coroner , aad after a patient investigation the following vwrdict was retDrned : — "Wefindjthat the deceased , Edmund Burke and Wiljiam Sullivan , came by their deaths from suffocation , by inhaling carbonic acid gas , which gas escaped from a tube leading from a stove ; and we beg to draw the attention of the Gaol Committee to the necessity of having the tube rouaovod from its present position and put in a safe place .

      wire guard would save many lives . Linen pinafores are much less liable to take fire than cotton ones . It ought also to be known that in case of the clothes ' of a child taking fire , the best means of extinguishing it is by throwing the child on the floor , and wrapping it in blanket or woollen oloth of any kin > ' . An long us ti'O child is in an upright position ihe flames from tho clothes burn fiercely , as their nalural tendency is towards the head : aud , consequently , if the child be laid down , the ft-xmes will instantly become feebler , and be much more easily extinguished . To smother the fire by wrapping tho child in a woollen cloth , is a much quicker and safer mode , tinn by tearing the clothes off piecemeal .

      Mr .

It appeared fritin the atatenibnt of the Learned Counsfcl , that Mr . O'Neil , -who -was saiiV . to be a preacher of the ' Gospel , , was , upon the 29 th of Augu » t last , brought befoto the Juatvota upon a ch-irga of having attended an ilk"j . vA mc . -ting , and that tho

      Justices required him to enter into hia own reeogaizmce lor £ 2 uO , and to give two other &urutie . i for £ 100 eacb , toapuoar aud taka hia trial for the cfi-. nco . Ttey aliio ri-quirtd that forty-ei ^ ht hours' notice o ? bail sbouid be given to tho solicitor for the Crown , ? . nd thoy commuted O Nail to custody in the meantime . Upon ih »; following morning a person of the na ' . uo of Collins attended before the Jcatices and gave in , upon O'Neii's part , the names of two persons named P ' . ge and Tcue man , to be hia bail These persons , b « ing membtra oi the Town-Council of BiriniDghain , wete obliged , accortiiDii ? to the General Corporation Amendment Act , to have a qualificalion ofjEl . OOOoverandaboreRU thuir just debts , and were therefore unexceptionable in 11 pecuniary

      point of view . But upon tbeir being prtsented to the magistrales , Mr . Badger aeted Page whethtr he had not presided at a Chartist nieetinij in B : rmingham in 1842 , and osked Trueman whether he bad cot taken au active part in the procaedings of Iqe same meeting , and in those of the Cuartusta in General in the same neighbourhood ? It waa answered that Page bad presided at the meeting upon certain restrictive condition which had been complied with : that Trueinaii ha'i actually opposed the proceedings of the ineetiug in question ; and that with regard to Cbartbm . itself , there were several yery different sorts ' , of it , as Christian

      Chartists , Moral-force Chartista , and Pliyaical-forca Cl ; : irtiats . The parties , howerer , persevered in refusing the bail , alleging that they bad other objections -which they did not think it necessary to mention . O'Kfcil , ia his affidavit , stated tuat . in conatqn « nce of the refusal , he was not only detained in prison for a considerable time , but was deprived of the means of preparing for his deforce , and was ib'Jifcfore under the necessity of tra . ve « iug when bis case w : is called on .

      power to comply with the application , as the commission for the trial of aU the prisoners in custody at tha time , including ONeil himself , was then ' actually optned . The tame ball which had been previously refnsed were then tendered again , but Mr . Maule , the solicitor of tha Treasury , although he admitted tnat tfia parsons were otherwise not exceptionable , refused to consent to tbeir being reoetod upon the sole ground of their political opinions . The parties , however , n&ving gone .-before Lord Chief Juatice Tindal , were by that learned juoge , admitted at once . Mr . Justica Patteson observed , that upon tne statement of the learned counsel , there appeared to M no evidenc of any corrupt motive having influenced the justices in their conduct .

      Mr Justice Pdfcteson observed , that ho did not mean to state it aa hia opinion that the conduct of the magistrates was at" all proper in the circumstances . TiW qusation upon the present application was not whether the justices were justified in what they had done , bafr whether thsy were so manifestly influenced by partial and corrupt motives as to be liable to the peculiar and extraordinary proceeding of a crimal information . Before he (> lr . Justice Patteson ) granted each a mie jg that which was now applied for , ha mnst te sat ' . cC ^ il of the corrupt int ' eutious and motives of the nvjgistri . tes by BQch concluaive and satiffactory evidence as he could

      not perceive to txtat iu any degree in tha present instance . The Yery thing -wbioli the magistrates had dons in the case in question bad been formeily done in this court by a learned judge , who rejected a parson who was tendered as bail , and who was unoUjtctioable in reference to the necessary amount of pecuniary qu » - liacation , but who kept a gauibling-houge . That decision had , it was true , been subsequently overruled aud syt as'dd , aad was manifestly incorrect ; bat it had never been supp ' osed that the party who made it had rendered himself thereby liable to a criminal information .

      Mr . Erie observed , that his clients , in their affidavit , expressed their belief that the cleftmdanta were influenced by illegal , partial , and corrupt motives ia refusing the bail , Mr . Justice Po . tteson observed , that the expression * of tho deponents were large enough ia themselves , bat could have no influence on the Court unless they were supperted by the facts of the case . Prom tUe statement it only appeared that the magistrates oousidered that the pecuniary aufficisney of theproposed bail was uotths only matter which thty , the justices , ougat to taka into consideration ; but that they were also afc liberty to act upon other grounds connected ; with tha character of the proposed sureties .

      Mr . Erie said tint , & 3 in general , it -would not be atip poBed th 3 t perstus in the siiuat : » n of 6 'Neil could procure bail from any other class of persons ezoept those who dynipathiatd with bis political opinions , it would bea most formidable doctrine to lay down th&fe a justice of the peace may refuse bail upon tha ground of thoir political opinions being the same as those of . ' the . party fur . whom they proposed to become sureties . . ¦'• ¦ . '¦' Mr . Erie ,. submitted to his Lordship that there wss a Kce . it difference , between rejecting a niun as bull because-lie-kept ;> s ^ siiing-house , or . was otherwise liable t » the crisaih . il justice of tha country for having committod some inuicUble offence , and rejecting him foe no other reason than hia conformity in political opinions with the party for whom he was to be bound .

      Even the matters of fact alleged by the justices to the presi at instaiico as the grounds of their oonduct were vmttuiy iillegeA ; r . s one at lea&t of the tendered bail txpressly denied' all connexion with the ChartiBls , and s--ta ' . y < 1 that he opposed the proceedings of the meeting wu ' . cb he wiis cuai (< ed with having aupportod . But if tiie case w-ve otherwise it would not Weaken the grounds of the application , as the justices had no right to niter the measure of justice with any reference to th > politics of thu praties ; and if they ( the jnstioes ) had TOifsly acted from political causes , it was impossible for them to contend that they were free from the iniputati <> ii of p : \ rtialitv : whilst it maybe s ; iid in addition tt-. at tht > fact of tbeir declaring that they were influenced by other motives , which they kept a secret from the pai : ks , afforded the strongest presumption of cormotion .

      - tur .. ~ . Just ice-Ptitteson directed the affiwavits to be hiinila ;; up to him , and stated that he should read them ovtr bsfore coming to a Suai decision upon the application . His LordBhip , however , expressed his present opinion to be that vho oKidavita disclc 3 e ; l no faots which would justify the Court in granting tbx rule .
