      CHELTENHAM . O'CONNOR ' S DEMONSTRATION . ffBITTKS B 1 JOBS SKEXT . COM 2 , gentle goddess , wave thy heav * iily wing And touch the harp ' s almost neglected string . Though great thy theme , fear not , celestial maid ; Where truth Inspires true dignity is laid . True , some experienced pen , with gait sublime , Thythems should honour with immortal rhyme ; Some classic Thompson , akill'd in gentlest lore , Or he who slumbers on the Thebaa shore , Or rural Burns , fair Scotia's darling child , Or mighty Shakespeare fam'd for fancy wild , Should yai «« thy theme a monument of fame , Profusely detk'd 'with sweet Parnassian bays , To boldly shout the great O'Cossox's praise .

      But thou , alas ! like these canst never sing ; By fate deprived of fancy ' s glorious wing ; By cruel fortune barc * d from learning's fsae ; Each hope o ' erwhelm'd by life ' s tempestuous main ; 3 )? prived of all fhat fortune ' s child can claim , "Except that glorious and nnstooping flame—The Same of freedom , —fortune cannot qneaeh > Nor fata itself with all its billows drench ; That rides supreme o ' er evTy troubled -wave , And boldly claims what heav " n so freely gave ; Devoid of which , how poor the poet ' s verse

      That ' s meanly train'd to win the lordling ' s pnrse ; Though fancy ride in every glowing line , A-nri learning ' s wreath securely round it twine ! TetOi without that spark of heavenly fiame , It ' s dastard author wears a crown of shame ; Then , wherefore fear , since virtue is the test ? Whose flame may warm the fortnne-fro 2 an breast And tho * dame fancy clasp her niggard aim , J ^ ot learning deign to giva one pleasing charm , Thou yet may ' st sing what duty shall inspire , While surest truth alone conducts the lyre .

      goo morn enfolds ! and So ! , from eastern skieS ) With beams etherial o ' er creation flies I Gilds o'er the lawn , where fragrant dew-drops bright With ambient sparkles , hail the God of light , While , soft refracted ' gainst yon mountain ' s side , In sweet profusion rolls toe golden tide I Peeps o ' er the cliff with majesty « nd power ! And gladdened nature hails the joyous hour . And thou O Sol , that now dost reign on high ! Thy orb celestial in the cloudlets siy , Hath never seen a day so truly treat—A day so glorious for Britannia ' s state—As this which dawns by thin * a ^ fcsning power , To sing tiie requiem cf oppression's hour , When Grecian heroes deck'd the manial fitld , A-nri quivering arrows rung each brazen ihield .

      And & » a foiest stoopeth to ths wind , So moves the mass , to freedom ' s cause resign'd . Each breast dilating at the glorions scene ; And independence walks with manly mtin . Kow , near the spot where freedom's champion brave Shall warm tbe bosom of each noble slarx ; dome his soul with love's pare heav'nly fLuse ^ The glorious impulse to immortal feme—To place each foot in union's eonq'ring line That crowns with laurels freedom's glorious shrine ,

      The ' mighty numbers bright-with heav ' nly light ; Show how a people * all-sufficient might , Might so hurl down oppression ' s blood-built throne , And raise triumphant freedom ' s glorious dome . For , know ye , Britons ; know ye sons cf toD , Whose bl » oo"y sweat manures the verdant soil , Ye , who prodnee what lordly tyrants eat , Who imDious crush you " neath their haughty feet , JSxiaw ye , in yoa i&err greatness doth consist , And to be free is oslt . to resist .

      The sun now journeys m the glorious "west , Yet lingers lovely « re he sinks to rest , ResolVd to sea tbe glories of the day , Ere sunk recumbent " Death the ocean ' s spray ; And banners -waving o ' er the marsbal'd files Are richly garnish'd with his golden smiles . AndO ! ye thousands , ¦ warm "with heavenly &e , Behold , and viewing let it each inspire ; Behold ! the fnW ^ , must I say of who ? A tender patriot and a patriot true ; He who fought nobly—he who scorn'd the smile Of those who trample on the sons of to \< . And when old Priam from the Trojan wall Beheld thy radiance on each helmet fall ; Not then , 0 2 Sol , the day was half so great ! Thai only weigh'd a captive woman ' s fate : While this , with great events , will pronuly teem , And tjianta tremble at each glorious scene .

      Time rolls along , each shadow flies the west , And zeal impatient fills each . msnly breast ; And like Atrides * mong the Grecian hosts , Each son of freedom to his neighbour posts ; Erects the standard of eternal truth . Gives hope to age and points the path of youth . The glorious son now hangs in southern skies , And busy murmurs do incessant rise , As T ? hen the ¦ wind loud pratling through the fcrove , With rustic cadence charms ths ears of love ; As when the herds do lowing seek tbe folds , And down the vale ths noisy clamour rollB : So mingled volets , raise one general sound , And " sreat O'C 0 > ' 50 i" doth alsud resound .

      Now round the hall the assembled thousands stand With greedy ears to catch the glad command ; Command to march , bnt not o ' er fields of blood , Whose modest daisies drink the crimson flood ; Command to march in majesty sublime , And hail the champion of a cause divine . Sow through the throng the band aloud is heard / And at its head the flag of freedom rear'd ; And while its pealings do each breast inspire , The waving banners fan the gen"rons fire ; He -who stood foremost and made bare his breast Which sterling -worth and gen ' rons love posiess'd ; He tte « e ' er battled in our glorious cause , And fell a victim to oppression ' s laws .

      Behold . ' ye thousands , and , beholding , feel That gen * rous throb TFhich liberty must heal I Let loves pure spirit , from Elyjnan skies , With ami tmstoopisg- in eaca breast arise ; Xet every soul attend to dnrx ' s call , While resolution boldly filleth alL Then shall you eer . qiiir ; then cssi down the foe And quench for ever England ' s greatest woe : Then sbati oppression yield iu TJpss kreath , And sink for ever in the shades cf death . And then , OI Britain , sha ' . l that patriot dear , At-whess restmblance virtue drops a tear ; Then shall be burit oppression ' s clanking chains ,

      Once mere to mingle , with old Cambria ' s swains ; And then her breast where angry billows rise , Shall beas tranquil as lhe summer skies ; And then the soul now drown'd in floods of pain , Shall wake the music of the heart again ; Then shall all woe oppres s ion ' s hand hath made , By hope ' s refnlgenee seek dblrriOD ' B sbade ; Ken ihall no feats deprive bis sosl of peace , Bit all shall vanish in the fond embrace , And tread wrens the autumnal paths of life , " A hsppy husband and a Messed wife : With resignation seek life ' s closing hours , Then -wing together to Elysian feew ' rs ,

      LKEioS . —LEcnms on Emigration . —On Monday evening , the Bev . W . Roaf , from Toronto , in Upper Canada , delivered a lecture on emigration in the Court Hoose . The audience was not numerous but respectable . The Rev . Gentleman , we believe , who belongs tbe Independent denominatioa , formerly residwl at "Wolvernampton , bat about five years ago , went out to Canada , where he has since resided , being employed as a missionary . The Rev . Gentleman stated that Ms remarks on emigration had

      been rather elicited in deference to the judgment of others than to serve any object of his own . He had no interest to serve by lecturing , nor was he the agent of any land company in the colony ; if , however , he could preservfr any person from false steps , or satisfy any who might be in uncertainty as to emigration , he should consider himself to hare been well employed . The lecture was of great length , and was listened to with patient attention . A vote of thanks was given to the lecturer at the close .

      Assi . in . Ts . On Monday last , a cadaverous , wretched looking man , named John Styan , was charged before ihe magistrates , at the Court House , wiih an aggravated assault on his wife , and also on policeman Stubbs , who was called in to take him into custody . The parties reside in Ebenezer-street , and it would appear led a regular cat and dog sort of life , the green-eyed monster having taken possession of the breast of the nnfortnnate husband , who declared that he beat his wife , because she would have another man to lodge in the

      bouse . The policeman stated that when he was called in the prisoner was drunk , and nearly raked . He was fined forty shillings and costs , or sent to Wakefield for two months . Peter Chambers , alias John Maran , was fined forty shillings and costs , or two months imprisonment , for an assault on policeman Barton , on Saturday night , at which time he went to the PhcBaix Inn , very drank , and the landlord having refused to fill him anything he became abusive . The policeman was sent for , and was assaulted in the execution of his duty .

      ° Assault a > d Alleged Highway Rob » ebt . — On , Monday last , two decent-looking men , named T&omas Kilbara and Thomas Simpson , residing at Halton ,- were charged at the Court House wi ; h having committed a violent assault upon Thomas CaTter ,-an old man residing at the same village , and with having abstracted from his pocket the sum of seven shillings .. The transaction was said to have taken place on Saturday night , about twelve o'clock . The old man ' s face feore marks of punishment ; but it having come out that they had all been drinking together at the Dog and Gun , which place thty left in company , and the old man not being quite sober , the magistrates dismissed the charge of robbery , of which , indeed , there was no evidence adduced ; and fined them 10 s . each for the assaHlt . The prisoners declared tbat the old man vra . s the aggressor , and stripped off his coat to fight .

      AcaBENT from Pire Arms . —On ?» Ionday lastj an accident from the incautious use of fire arms , occurred at the house of Mr . John Robinson , tbo Wild Man , Quarry hill , which it is very fortunate was not attended "Wit ' tt fatal consequences , A young man named Thomas Russam , residing with his mother in the Globe Yard , Quarry-hill , who has been for some time out of employment , was on Monday forenoon engaged by Mr . Robinson to do some trifling jobs about his house . At dinner timo he was Eat in the tap-room eating soms bread and cheese , when suddenly a report of fire arms was heard , and the poor fellow fell to the floor covered with blood . He was at once removed to tbe Infirmary , and an enquiry set on foot as to the

      person who bad fired the shot ; it then appeared that a lad named Forster bad an old pistol in bis possession , which , on Monday , whilst he was getting his dinner , be had lent to another lad named Moss , who having plaed a cap on the nipple , held the muzzle to the ear of a companion , named IUingworih ., and pulkd the trigger . The cap exploded , but no further consequences ensued , the pistol though charged having missed fire . After this the pistol was returned to Forster , xfao , whi 2 ot standing in the s jeet , close to the tap room window of the Wild Man , fixed on another cap , and pointed the pistol through the window which happened to be open , and pulled the trigger . The contents of the pistol exploded directly , and the whole

      charge took effect on the right cheek of Russnzn , the powder breaking and entering the skiD , and a stroBg wadding striking him with great force on the temple . The skin has been sinca removed by Mr . Samuel Smith ( under whose care he is placed ) , and we are glad to hear he is doing well . We are told that the lad who was the cause of the mischief , has been occasionally employed to carry ont pipes by Mr . Lonsdale , and that , after tbe accident , he was sent with Borne pipes from Mr Lonsdale ' s shop , after which he absconded , and has not since been heard of . We understand he deelares positively his ignorance of the pistol being loaded . - A Spsobb . —On Monday last , two young men

      named John Web 3 ter and James Davrsou , were charged at the Court-House with having been found at an early hoar on Sunday morning , in an unoccupied house , in Bridge-street , with a felonious intent . A Sergeant of the Sightly Watch gtated that he received information that two young men were amusing themselves by knocking at people ' s doors , and in passing along Bridge-street , in which direction they had gone , he heard a voice in the house in question , and in trying to obtain access the door was pushed against him . He ultimately got in and found the prisoners ; there were sundry articles of furniture in the house , which had been placed tfcero "for convenience of sale , " some of which had been broken

      either by the prisoners or some other party- On being asked what they had to say , Webster said he had enlisted , and was about to leave the town ; he had met with Dawson , on Saturday ni ^ ht , and they agreed to have a spree before he set off . They accordingly went and had some drink , after wnich they set off in search of & house of ill fame , and kn&wing the one in wh \ ch they were found to be such 'they went in , having found the door open , and from the fact of furniture being there , they had no doubt they were right , until the watchman disturbed them . They denied having injured anything , or tbat they were there with any felonious intent . The magistrates , however , thought otherwife , and not believiDg their story entirely , sent them for a month to Wakefield .

      arrangements to meet a party on important professional business » t Addin / jbamj on Monday . To attend to that he had left home on Saturdajhunself , and the business did not terminate amir six on Monday evening .

      KDIGHLEY . —A vestry meeting took place in this town , or Friday last , for the purpose of laying a church rate for the ensuing year . At five minutes to eleven o ' clock , Mr- Butfielfl , the parish parson , attended by a group of pot-bellied landlords , two ma tjistrates , two or three brandy-spinners , two auctioneers , a deputy-constable , a number of bumbailiffs , lawyers , and others , to the number of thirty , entered the chorea . At eleven , the vestry door was opened , and in rushed the working men , who numbered about three hundred . The place being too small , the Parson , without any motion being made , adjourned the meeting into the churchyard , where he soon seated himself . on * his official tripod . After some small talk , he mounted the

      saored stool , and , ia true parsonic style , endeavoured to humbug the people , by appealing to-their softer passions , bu : it was '' no go ; " they had not forgot the clocks , tables , de ^ ks , and wood he had S ( izad upon for Easter dues , aud other gross impositions . " The swinish multitude" did not rt lish such canting hypocrisy . The Parson seeisig this , immediately called upon Mr . Wm . Marrener , churchwarden , to read over the various ittnis , to meet which tbe present rate was called tot . Mr . M . hoped a good feeling would be manifested , and the rate , as it was a small one , granted without the matter being brought to a poll . Mr . F . Greenwood , magistrate , then proposed that a raie of ihree farthings in the pound bo granted to meet the current expencea of tho year , and not Buffer the sacred edifice to fall into

      decay , or leave the communicants without the emblems of the flesh anu blood of their dying Lord . Mr . Finn , at this stage of the buaine £ S wished to ask the Rev . Chairman , a question , namely , if the parishioners , should move a counter resolution to the one they intended to submit to the meeting , and in the oveiit of its being carried , and should the church party demand a poiJ , would he fix upon Tuesday as the ( Jay for commencing ! " I thall reserve to myself the right of fixing any day I please , " was the reply . It was then moved by a working man named John Waterhouse , and seconded * by Mr . John Smith , " that this meeting do adjourn to this day twelve months . " Fond as the clergy are of pigs not their own , his Reverence did not relish this " grunt , " aud

      refused to put tho motion . It was then proposed by Mr . Joseph Firth , a fearless veteran in the radical ranks , " Trat , as the Rev . chairman refused to do his duty , he should vacate the chair , and that it be taken by Mr . Robert Arkineon , hatter and grocer , a man of the strictest integrity , intelligence , liberality of principle and moral wortcu" On being seconded and pui to the meeting , all the blistered bauds were instantly up , and it was triumphantly carried . The official locust further insulted tho meeting by refusing to vacate the chair . The assembled parishioners made repeated calls for the person who had been selected as their chairman , but he was

      not willing to yield to their call , for reasons which on any other occasion would have had no weight with him . Mr . F . Greenwood then seized , the bfluks and ran off with them , and a few true PO 11 B of ffiOther church seized the table and tried to up-set it . After the row bad subsided , and a poll had been demanded , Messrs . Atkinson , Waterhonse , arid Firth , mounted a grave stone , and the two latter administered a severe and well-merited cassation to the church party . Mr . F . Greenwood threatened to read the riot act , in order ta quell the disturbance he had created , by surreptitiously running eff with the books .

      extraordicaxy circumstance lately , occurred at these works : —It appears that Mr . John Edmunds , master smith , had ior the last . twelve yearssuffered at times a very severe pain a little below his shoulder . He had applied to several medical gentlemen for advice , and taken large quantities of medicine , but all proved ineffectual . Last week , feeling tbe same sensation as if he bad been pricked with' a pin , Mr . Edmunds put his hand down , his back and found something very sharp , bnt took no further notice , fancying that it was a small particle of iron tbat had led from some of the other smiths , and stuck fast in his flan-> aei shirt . In a few hoars afterwards he was sitting

      down to dinner , when he felt a similar sensation , and asked Mrs . Edmunds to examine his back : and it is a singular fact , that she discovered the point of a needle . Being too anxitus to get it out ane tried with her fingers , but unfortunately pnt it ont of sight , but the next day the point of the needle was seen again . To make sure , they left it until the following day . By that time it had protruded nearly the eighth of an inch , and by applying a small pair of nippers they took out a needle one infeh and threeeighths in length . Mr . Edmunds declares that be has no recollection whatever of the seedle entering any part of his body at any period . —Carmarthen Journal ,

Robert Peppard , jun ., was riding homo to Cappagh from his farm at KiUannon , three country fellows suddenly stoppted hfni on the high road , and pile of them seizing his bridle ' . tern drew out a pistol and fired at tne young gentlemanv who received the shot ( slugs ) through both arms , and : immediately after he was struck with stones by the other ruffians , who fled on hearing the cries of a woman in a house adjoining , who witnessed the outrage ^ else they would have murdered theirvictim on the spot . Mr . Peppard was conveyed to his father ' s house , and we learn this , morning , notwithstanding the severity of the wounds , that the medical gentlemen entertain favourable hopes of his improvement . "

It is but due to the eugineer to state that no possible blame could bo attached to him .

      An Immense Gun . —On Thursday a barge arrived at the wharf of the Royal ArBonal , having on board tho largest gun ever made in this country . A powerful Bhears was put up expressly for landing this ponderous piece of ordnance , weighing very nearly eighteen tons , none of the cranes on the wharf being equal to the t&sk , The arrangements for landing this great gun were expellently made , and carried into effect without the slightest accident ; and the labour of conveying it to the butt shows great ihgenuity , being effected by a coil of strong rope around it , moving the immense mass in a rolling manner along four large logs of wood , changed alternately

      as the gun progresses . This gun is made on the howitzer principle , and is about twelve feet long , with an immense quantity of metal ; at the breech The diameter of the bore 18 within Olie-tenthof BIXteen inches . The weight of solid shot with which it will be fired is 4451 bs ., and shells of 3301 bs ., and it is expected two 'i olid shot of that woisht and four shells in the same proportion will be used when it is proved at the butt . The howitzor was cast and bored by Messrs . Walker and Co . ; for Mehemet Ali , Pasha of E ^ ypt , and two other largV guna , 130 pounders , were landed at the satne time to be proved for service ia Egypt .

      PRANCE .-TThe Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the regency question , and othar nja , tter 3 conssquent on the death of the Duke » f Orleans . Although the opposition prints no longer attack the proposed regency of the Dake of Nemours j they require , as the price of their silence , that ' there shall be a change of Ministers . This demand is made for the purpose of saving the consisteucy of th » editors of the Courrier Francois and tie Stecle , who !; having compromised themselves b y supporting the regency of the Duchess of Orleans ^ require some more tangibie excuse than tho will of M . Thiers for their chaage of tactics . Meanwhile , the king , notwithstanding the grief under which he is labouring , will opeh the chamber , in person , and present to them the infant son of the Duke of Orleans , who

      will hereafter be entitled Duko of Orleans , prince royals . We leara from the tidtional that typhus fever is at this moaieat making great ravages ia Paris , ' and that to such an extent has the iHfection extended , that it has been necessary to prepare a supplcmentarjr hospital for the sick at Saltpetriore . The commercial treaty entered into by France with Belgium is to exist for four years . The National states that extraordinary precautions are being taken by the jnilitary asthoriliies of Paris . Toe troops are ordered to remain ia their barracks , and geueral offioors are seen , both day and night , inspecting the- military posfs , and asoertainirig that the orders of the day are properly obeyed .

The most important step was the dissolving of the legislative assembly , which took place on the 2 nd inat . They were to have met on the following day for the despatch of business , and from the number of revolutionary characters ainongt hem , a stormy Bession was expectddj AH this has teen . happily , pbviated by the ju'dioious measures of the government ; stnd .-tho .- act of dissolution was read in the Chamber of Deputies in profound silence The only mischief now to be feared is thfi influence of the opposition members in the provinces . Tho splendid province of St . Paul ' s ,

      one of tho most important in the eapire , ha . s been for some time on the Verge of an outbreak ^ and on the Tacoipt of this intelligence a revolt took place in the town of Sorocaba , and which , if not checked in the bud , may have the most pernicious "' effects . The president's demand for troops was immediately responded to , and on tho very day on which the news was received a number of 8 tean > er 8 left this with 2 , 000 troops on b&ard , so that ire long we hope for more cheering accounts from that au&rter . Tha news from liio Grando , tho province pordering on on Monte Video , arid which has been in a state of rebellion for the last seven years , is unimportant , and without the legalistas are largely reinforced there appears little hopes of speedily regaining that important province ; indeed many people , well acquainted with the country ^ say it will be impos- ; sible without the introduction of foreign troops ;"

The delegates were then called upon to state the progress of Chartism in their own immediate localities , when each of them gave a cheering account , the detail of which would take up too much space ; suffice it to say , tbat many of them returned double the number of paying members as compared with tns returns of the last meeting ; notwithstanding all the delegates had to complain that poverty and destitution had been considerably On the

      inoreafie duiing the last month . The foUowing resolutions were passed : moved by Mr . Pilling , and seconded by Mr .

" . This to be followed by one penny per week from each locality the money to be sent to the Executive for this express purpose . Mr . Lnna said ; as an Irishman , he felt colled upon to thanfc bis English brethren for tne good feeling which they had manifested towards his unfortunate Country , Ireland .- They had this day given the lie to the parties who were desirous of living by agitation ; and , in order to accomplish their own ends , bad

      calumniated the English Chartists and represented them as the enemies of Ireland . He , for one , knew tbat his countrymen wanted but the principles of the Charter explained to them , aud they would be with them to a man .
