Immediately on enlering the room , the bookkeeper handed him a paper , on which was ¦ wri tten , *» Notice to Jeave the employ of his master , atihe end of the fqBo-ivinjr week . " Mr . , unconscious of having done anything to warrant £ ueh eonduci on the part of one whom he had so long and EoYsithfnIIj served , went at onceto Stuart himself , demanded why and iipon what gronnds he had thought Hucb a step necessary ! had he not started his&st machine same fire years ago I and had he bo ; from that time always acted in the most becoming and business-like manner 1 had he not been

      as-good i workman as any in the mill ! and if so , why was it , that ho was thus treated ! it was twentyfour years since he had been discharged ; and then it was for attending the memorable meeting on 14 Peterloo ^ " he had given up one of the best sit ! iat . onsin the xown to become his servant ; therefore , lie demanded an answer why was he discharged ! "What think you , reader , -was the answer of this leading member of the liberal league ! Hear it , and blush for the public spirit which tolerates it : — "I ! discharge you because you are a Chartist I" There , Englishmen , is the act of a Stockport anti-mono- \ poljitl a voter for Cobden ! one who wants "cheap ; bread" for the famishing poor I one , too , who was j himself a working man only a few years ago .

      the PoiTEHiES . —Hetribution . —The notorious knight of the thimble , who gave evidence against poor Capper at the Special Commission , at Stafford , m October last , has himself been committed to the very gaol where his ' victim iB con ^ ned . " One evening shortly after the close of the Commission , the blustering tailor was engaged poaring libations to the jolly god , when one of the oompany reminded him of the Ninth Commandment . This led to a quarrel , in which the tailor , though a powerful man , had the worst of it . Not being ' satisfied , he sought redress by an action at l aw , and here again came off " second best , " for a few days since he was arrested by a Sheriff * s Officer for the expences incurred and debt duB to his legal adviBers , and safely lodged in Stafford gaol , to the great joy of all who knew , and , knowing , detested him .

      Fatal AccDiE « r on the Eiver Thames—Mr-Payne held an inquest yesterday evening , at the Bed Lion , MilMane , To 6 ley ? street , on the body of Thomas Power , aged 19 . It appeared from the evidence of Thomas Hill , a mariner , belonging to the schooner Robert and Mary , of Weymouth , that about fire o ' clock on Thursday evening last , witness and deceased were engaged in mooring their vessel off Topnard ' s Wharf , London-bridge . Deceased was in a boat , and witness had got upon a lighter for the purpose of being able to hand out to deceased the warp with which the vessel was to be moored . Having

      made the vessel secure , deceased , being still in the boat , took hold of the bead of the schooner and pushed away the boat , at the same time turning to witness and laughing at having thus left him on the lighter . Witness instantly sprung off the lighter into the boat , and deceased began frolicking with him as he jumped in . The boat then upset , and they were both thrown into the water . Deceased sank instantly and was Been no more . His body was picked up shortly afterwards and brought ashore , when . medical aid was . procured , and every means tried to restore animation bnt without success . Verdict , "Accidental death . "

      Melancholy Occtobence . —Remarkable Presence of Mind . —On Sunday morning the following melancholy and singular occurrence , . which was unfortunately attended with the loss of' life , took place at Rotherhithe . It appears that a Mrs . Bartholomew , a respectable married woman , who resides at No . £ 4 , Clarence-street , Rotherhithe , went into the garden , attached to her dwelling , accompanied by her child , a little girl , about two years of age . At the extremity of the garden is a deep and rapid stream , called the Mill Pond river , which is separated from the garden by a fence , in which there ib a gate for Urn purpose of proouring water from the river . This gate opens outwards , and at that time was unfortunately not fastened . The child , Who was

      a tew yards in advanoe of its mother , ran against it , and by the cononssion it was forced op ^ n , and the infant fell headforemost into the water . The mother , struck with terror , darted to the assistance , but in her precipitation she overbalanced herself and fell in also . A female neighbour who witnessed the occurrence , exhibited a remarkable presenoe of mind so seldom shown "upon such occasions , and got into a small boat which is lying moored a short distance from the spot where the mother and her infant were immersed , propelled the boat along wiih a boat-hook which was fortunately lying at the bottom , got close enough to the mother as she was in the act of

      sinking for the third time , and succeeded in catching hold of a portion of her dress with the hook , and by great exertion got her on shore , she being at the time quite insensible . The infant , in the meanwhile , had been carried along with the stream . The woman ' s cries alarmed severalotber persons , who came to her assistance , and Mr . Murdok , a snrgeon , was sent for , who used the proper remedies , and after the lapse of some time fucceeded in restoring animation . Search was then made for the body of the infant , and in about twenty minutes it was got out , but from tbe length of time it had . been in the water , every exertion to restore life was ineffectual .

      Intemperaaxe in Ireland . —A person who baa never been in Ireland can form but a very faint idea of the height to which intemperance was carried a few years ago . It may , indeed , be truly observed , that " nearly every prime committed in the country might be traced , directly or indirectly , to the influence of *> the whisky . " Warburton , in bia elaborate " History of Dublin , " states that this spirit was not introduced into that city until about the vear 3750 ; bnt that intemperance Was just as common with rum and brandy—the spirits then used . The quantity of claret drunk at the same period was enormous . In the , sear 1753 , the importation from France alone was eight thousand tons . We have no means of knewing what quantity of whiskey was

      drunk in Dublin before Father Mathew effected his moral revolution there ; but it may astonish eome persons to learn , that in Thomas-street , in that city , containing one hundred and sixty seven houses , no less than surly-two—^ we ascertained from personal observation—were spirit-shops , or placea where whiskey could be purchased , 1840 ! This was in one street only ; but certainlv all the streets were not like this . After Father Mathew visited Dublin , three-fourths of the ; Bpirit dealers became insolvent ; and it was to this circumstance , more than any other , that O'Connell's non-eleotion after the last dissolution waa to be attributed ; most of the shopkeepers haying been , of bis interest , and the spirit dealers having lost their votes . —Bentley ' s Miscellany for September . :

      This bbats All !—The New York correspondent of the National Intelligencer says— " I understand it has lately occurred to some gentlemen with open eyes that anchorage is cheaper than ground-rent ; that a ship of war is but a spacious hotel upside down ; and that the most desirable site for a summer residence , as to pure air , neighbourhood , novelty and economy , is now occupied by the Independence ' and * North Carolina' the men-of-war just off the Battery . The latter ship being unseaworthy , it is proposed to purchase her of the Government for the exprimenc . It is estimated that she can accommodate comfortably three hundred persons . The immense upper deck is to be covered with a weatherproof awning , blue and white , in the style of the

      Alhambra , and given up entirely to dining , dancing lounging , and tbe other nses of hotel drawingrooms . A more magnificent promenade than this immense deck , cleared of guns and lumber fore and aft , and surrounded entirely by luxurious sofas , could scarcely be imagined . The kitchens and offices are to occupy the forward part of the second deck , or , if the vessel ia crowded , to be transferred to a small tender alongside . The port-holes are to be enlarged to spacious windows , and the two decks below , which are above the water-line , will be entirely occupied by splendid rooms , open to the breadth of the bay , and furnished in the oriental and cushioned style , eHitable to the luxurious wants of hot weather . Minute barges will ply to and from

      the Bhore connected with tbe Waverlty line-of omnibuses . Bath-housea will be anobored just astern ; a cafe and ice-cream shop will bo established in tbe main and mizen tops ( to be reached by a covered staircase ) , and sofas , for the accommodation of smokers , will be put under a pent-house roof outside the vessel , in the main chains . The cock-pit and hold will , of course , unite ihf . uses of a hotel garret and oelJar . It will have the advantage of other hotels , in swinging round with the tide , so that the lodgers on both sides of the ship will see , by turns , from the windows , the entire panorama of the bay . When lightened of her gnne , and her upper spars

      and rigging , it is thought that she will float so much higher as to bear piercing for another line of porthole windows , affording some bachelor ' s rooms at the water-line , corresponding in price and convenience with the BkyTchambers of the Astor . An eccentric individual , I am told , has bargained for a private parlour , to be suspended under the bowsprit , in imitation of the nest of the hanging-bird .

      f o ^ -O ^ JCB ^ Aw . —The Poatmaster General has published it as his decision that " a letter ^ e directed frouv one place to another , is legally liable to additional postage for farther service . " A most preposteroas deciBipnit iB . Tbe principle was all very well when letters were charged for according to the distance they were taken ; but is perfectly unjust and absurd under the present system . P **™* Attempt at BuHGtAMr . —Between three and four o ' clock on Thursday morning a most daring attetnpt wa , 3 made to enter the premises of Mr . G . A . Walker , Burgeon , of Drury-lane . Two men were ^ f ^^ yf-P ' * ?^ breakin g the back door of Mr .

      Execution . -- The last sentence of the law was , on the 1 st instant , carried into effect , on the Espla ^ nade at Perpignan . in France , inv Blanque , for the murder of his brother-in-law . On being informed that the order for hia execution had arrived , he gave way io-a violent fife of rago ; he uttered the most horrid blasphemies and tore his clothes until he was reduced almost to a state of nudity . On reooveringTiimself from this violence , he demanded to have breakfast , of which he ate heartily , and drank a bottle or wine . He afterwards submitted to all the preparatory ceremonials with the most perfect calmness ^ and resignation , but to the last moment refused all the , offices of the ministers of religion . He ascended the steps of the platform steadily .

      Fatal Accident on the Ewe Railroad and Affecting fcCBNB .-The freight train , of cars started from Mjddletpwn on Tuesday afternoon , and after proceeding about three miles to the Hampton-bridge , tho last car of the train ran off the track , and was precipitated some fifty feet , where it was dashed to pieces on tberooks . The bridge had no planks upon it . There was one passenger in the car , a Mr . I ltsBimmona , « . very respectable man with a family , residing at @OBhen . He survived the accident , in great agony for three hours . A gentleman who was present describes the scene which took place in the rude Irish cabin , whither Fitz ^ immons was carried , as being deeply affecting . His daughter , quite a young girl , was present , and after her father had ceased to breathe , she attempted in the absence of a priest , to read the service from the Catholic

      prayer-book ( none of the inmates of the family knowing how to read ) , but her feelings so overcame her that she was unablo to proceed , and requested the gentleman , pur informant j to conclude the reading , which he likewise found himself unable to accomplish . The daughter , however , would not consent that the body phould be touched by any one until after she bad given utterance to the prayer for the spirit of her departed parent to be conveyed to the land of the just—the paradise of heaven . —New York paper . - ¦ ¦

      More Cant and Religious Intolerance—There is no town in England where there was more noise made against the Education bill brought forward by Sir James Graham ^ han in Manchester . The manufacturers made a great out-cry about the intolerant spirit of the said Pill , and shouted and bawled till they were black ^ fin the face about Civil and Religious Liberty ; Ufit notwithstanding their opposition manifested at that time , yet we find in their every day ' s practice the ppirit of religious persecution carried out in its most dreadful form , namely , by taking away the bread of their dependants , if they dare to go to any Sunday school but such as they think proper to recommend . Vyeknow one boy that has been discharged from his work for attending

      the Sunday school at the Carpenters' Hall , because it iB in connection with the Chartists . Another case is that a young lad son of Mr Bradahaw , No . 1 , Queen-street , Ardwiok , who in the month of August last went to work at a mill not a hundred yards from Temple-street , Chorltonupon-Medlock , the manager of whioh told him that ho must go to his Sunday school . The boy said that he did go to one , and he thought that sufficient . On the Monday morning the manager went to him at bis work , and said you did not come to the School yesterday . No , said the boy , my father said that I was not to leave my old school ; well then said this bawler about intolerance , you may go about your business , for will not ha ^ e any person working for me unless they attend the place that I wish them . This is a pretty specimen of manufacturer ' s notions of Civil

      and Religious Liberty ! The facts may be relied npon , as we are in possession of the names of all the parties conoerned , and are only waiting our time to make a full exposl of their doings .

      On Sunday night , during the ohurch service of Whitechapel , an extensive fire broke out in the shop of Mr . Wood , a toyman , opposite the ohurch . An alarm was promptly raised ; and there having been a liko calamity in tho forepart of the evening in Osborn-street , three engines , well supplied wiih water , were soon drawn to the spot ; but . unfortunately , the fire , which no doubt had been smouldering for some time previous , burst forth with the most fearful : rapidity , and before eight o ' clock , twenty minutes after its outbreak , the whole contents of the three floors were in flames . The firemen , Beeing not the least probability of saving any portion of Mr . Wood'd property , poured torrents of water on tho two adjoining houses , occupied by Mr . Saunders , a stationer , and Mr . Feyell , a pawnbroker , but we regret to state that both were seriously damaged .

      Brief Meuoir of O'Connell . —Daniel O'Connell was born on the 6 th of August , 1775 , at Carhen , near Caheroiveen , in the barony of lveragh , and county of Kerry—the very year in which British oppression forced the American people to seek for security in arms , and commenced that bloody struggle by which they established their national independence . His father was Mr . Morgan O'Connell , of Carhen , who was married to Catherine , daughter of Mr . John O'Mullaue , of Whited Church , iu the county of Cork . His father ')) mother was of the family of O'Donouges fdhiivj , or the black chiefs of their tiibe . Mr . O'Connel was educated on the the Continent , partly at Louvain , partly at St . Oiner , and partly at Douay . On his return to Britain lie had to to undergo the formality of studying his profession ( the law ) in England ; for / to use his owa words , " when he was prepared to enter Trinity College , Trinity College was not prepared to receive him . " Haviog

      swallowed the regular number of lega of tnuttouat the Middle Tcmplo , he was duly admitted to the Irish bar , in Easter Term , 1796 . Mr . O'Connell married on the 3 rd of June , 1802 , his relative Mary , daughter of Mr . Edward O'Connell , M . D ., of Tralee ; he succeeded his father in 1809 , and in 1825 , by the death of bis uncle , Maurice O'Connell , succeeded to the family estate of Derrynane . The O'Connell family are proverbial for living to a very old age . General Count O'Connell , Knight of the Cross of the Order of the Holy Ghost , and Colonel of the late 6 th Regt . of the Irish Brigade in the British service , was uncle to the Liberator ; he died on the 9 th of July , 1833 , at Meuden , near Blois , in France ; he was the youugett of twenty two children by one marriage , of whom one-half lived to the age of ninety , ai which ago this venerable patriot died ; he was born ia August , 1734 , at Derrynane , the residence of his father , Mr . Daniel O'Connell . — Limerick Reporter .

      Life Preservers . —Leixb , Sept . 4 th . —With several friends on Leith-pior , about half-past twelve o'clock on Saturday last , we were much gratified by again seeing Francis Taylor in one of his life-preserving cabin-stools , experimentalizing in a very rough sea , there being at the time a pretty stiff bre ; te from W . N . W . Mr . Taylor , after making bis cabin-seat into a life-preserver , which waa dono in about three seconds , went into it , nearly opposite Leith Fort , and proceeded in a direct line to Leith Roads , and thereafter turned eastward , and landed in excellent style on Leith Sands , passing outaido of the Martello Tower and Breakwater . Mr . Taylor continued in the machine on the water two hours . We measured the neat little article after it landed ,

      and found it was 28 J by 15 inches , outside measure , bat when a seat it is only 1 « by 15 inches . Mr . 1 'aylor has no fear of danger while in it ; be has twice crossed : the Forth from Leith , a distanco of Bpven or eight ; miles , in what he proposes to answer as buoys' to' the ship's anchor . He exhibited one of them while the Forth large steamer was Iannohing from Messrs . Menzies' dock , where he went twice out of it into the water , swama short distance from it and returned , and Went again into it , and it scarcely moved to the side on which he went in and seated himself . He has also gone from Leith to Inchkeith and returning , four times , in different seate , or jife-preservers , or life buoys , and at _ no time was accompanied by a boat or vessel . We uuderstand'M > . Taylor will exhibit something new

      on Saturday next , about twelve o'clock , a nursing chair and stookinwhiph he will float himself and propel it .

      AiuRuiNa Firs at tbb Old Ship Hotel , Bbjghton . —On Friday night considerable alarm occurred at the Old Ship Hotel , King ' s-road , Brighton through afire breaking out in the kitchen , chimney . At the outbreak very little notice was ; taken of it , as it was merely considered as a chimney on fire , but in a short time threatened destruction to the premises . Messengers were despatched to the Town-hall for the engines , whioh quickly arrived under the able superintendence of Mr . Paine , the head-en « ineer . The Whole of the front of this hotel was some years back rebailt , but the back part is the ancient hotel , and composed principally of wood . The kitchen chimney

      runs up between the ball and card rooms , which are built chiefly of Wood and communicate with the principal building by a fine corridor nearly seventy feet in length . At one time it was much feared this portion of the building would have fallen a sacrifice to the flames . Mr . Cuff , one of the proprietors , was on the spot directing the numerous servants of the establishment in their exertions , whilst Paine was pouring a body of water on the fire , which by this time had caught some of the furniture in two of the bedrooms , as also a email portion of the roof . Eventually they succeeded in getting it under , although at one time it was expected that apart of the roof must be taken off to get at the place where the fire

      was raging . :: Interesting ) Relics at ] Invehness —The workmen now employed iu taking down the old honse in Churoh-strept Whioh has been long a special object of interest t <* visitors , from the circumstance of Princo Charles having slept there the last night he was in oar Highland capital , and it being the same mansion that received the Duke of Cumberland after the eventful battle of Calloden , have come upon two muskets , evidently of an old date , conoealed in the north wall , secreted there ] most likely , to prevent them from falling into tbe hands of the red-coats . In proceeding further in their process of demolition , they also found a jewelled ring , buried under a large stone . A knife and fork with ivory handles , as carefully laid out of the grasp of the soldiprs , were discovered in another part of J the building . —Inverness Courier . i

      Determined Attempt ATlStJiciDB . —Shortly before twelv « o'clock on Friday , the passengers on board the Prince Albert steamer j were greatly alarmed in consequence of a gentleman throwing himself overtboard in . Gravesend Reach . The engines were reversed instantly , and as he was going down for the last time , he was caught by two men on board a barge . He was conveyed ; without loss of time , to the Prince Albert , and a dry suit of clothes belonging to the mate was put on him , and every possible attention paid him . On searching his clothes , a Watch and money were found , and a card , on which was written •* Mr . James Smith , 2 , Montague-street , Russell-square , " and ho subsequently said his name

      was Smith . On the arrival of the Prince Albert at the Old Shades-pier , the Captain gave the uufortunate gentleman ( who is nearly blind ) into the custody of Riohards , 486 , who arrived with him at the Mansion-house just as the Lord Mayor was leaving . When asked his name , he replied that he was a magistrate as well as the Lord Mayor , and had no Tight to be questioned . He assigned no reason for making the rash attempt , ] and conducted himself altogether in such an extraordinary manner , that the Lord Mayor directed he should be treated with every kindness at the Infirmary in the Compter , until hi 3 friends were apprized of his unfortunate situation . i

      Alabming Progress op Fever . —Such is the rapid increase of this fatal disease amongst / the poorer classes of society , that the district surgeons in Borne quarters find it altogether out of their power to overtake the numerous ) cases demanding their attention . During the past week , we are informed , that in one street in Calton the number of funerals was almost as great as during the cholera period , nearly all being victims to influenza or fever . The wright and undertaker for one parish made 120 coffins for paupers during the same period . Such statements surely call for the speedy attention of the authorities , whose benevolent interference at the present time , along with the more influential members of society , could do much to stop the ravages of this appalling and sweeping malady . The poor people suffering under this disease appear to stand most in need of soup and other restoratives , particularly when the fever takos a favourable turn : and it

      is confidently stated by those mixing amoDgsfc them at the present time , that | the want of attention in this respect is the chief cause of so much mortality amongst them . Whole families afflicted at the same time , with no one to cook for them , stand much in need of a supply of soup j ; and we do not know a greater benefit that could be conferred on some of the suburban districts j just now , than to erect soup kitchens for this purpose . When it ib taken into account that the poor dependants on parish aid get no more than Ida day to support life , the force of this fact will be more apparent . In addition to the above , we may reaaind our readers of the startling statements made b y Mr . M'Kiniay , at a meeting of the Town Council on Thursday last : " that -frithiu a KiTon period uu fewer than 1 . U 56 porerma had been treated for fever at the expense of' the Town Hospital alone , the ; number for the corresponding period last year being only 240 . "—Glasgow Chronicle . i

      Londjn Corn Exchange , Monday , Skpa 18 — Tho arrivals of all Grain , wi * h tho exception of Irish Oats , of which upwards of ] 32 , 000 qrs hsve come to hand , have been on a moderate ecale . The receipts of English Wheat were by ] no means largo , and of very middling quality . The attendance of nr'llera being large , and the show of old qualities of Homegrown Wheat small , suoh descriptions were in firm inquiry , at , in some few instances , an advance in the currencies obtained on Monday last , of Is per qr and a good clearance of such was effected . ' In New Wheat , however , only a moderate business was doing , and the quotations were unvaried . There was rather an extensive demand for free Foreign Wheat , and the finest descriptions wore held firmly , at an

      improvement of Is pt r qr . The whole , or nearly so , of that ander lock was released last week , pr e viously to the rise in tho duty to { 15 ; . The quantity thus tak « n out of bond amounted to about 700 , 000 < jts . There waa a limited supp y of English Barley on offer , but that of foreign amounted to a full average . All descriptions moved off heavily , and previous figures were with difficulty supported . Tho Malt trade—though the quantity of that article offering was small—ruled extremely inactive ; yet we have no material variaUon to nov \ ce in prices . Good sound Oats supported fheir previous value , but othVr descriptions moved off slowly , at a reduction of 6 d per qr .

The weather has continued to be most favourable for the northern harvest j bnt reiterated reports of defioiess yield from the south having produced a speculative feeling ,

      several parcels of foreign Wheat , principally of . tho middling qualUies , have ohanijed hands , and" prices for such may be generally quoted Id to 2 ii per bushel dearer than at the close of last week . Flour has latterly met rather more ^ deraand , and is fully as dear . New Wheat must be noted 3 i to 4 d per bushel cheaper .

      Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Sept . 15 . —With the exception of a slight full of rain on Thursday and again yesterday , the weather throughout the week has been of tho most favourable kind : for securing the remainder of the crops . During the same period a steady consumptive sale has been experienced for good middling and superfine qualities of Flour , at the previous currency , and the supplies have barely equalled the demand . But , towards low descriptions , the same indiff-rence was manifested by the trade as before noted . Old Oatmoal excited a little more attention , but its value was unaltered . There was some inquiry for new , and

      but little offering , the quantity that has yet reached here , from Ireland or elsewhere , having been insig « nifioant . From Ireland and coastwise , the arrivals at Liverpool and Runcorn are only to a mod'Tato extent ; and those from abroad consist of 4 . 153 qra of " Wheat and 693 brls of Flour . At our market this morning , the decline noted in Wheat on this day Be ' nnight waa about recovered , and choice qualities of Floar , being in short supply , readily commanded previous prices . Rather more money was asked for Oats , bdfc there was very little passine in this article . Old Oatmeal was more saleable but no dearer , and there was a fair demand for new at 23 s per load .
