      "Nature is just , is generous , good , and kind , And grants to all the energy of mind : Tfatore ' B the same in this , in every clime ; And yhispers freedom through her grand design !

      Tremble * , ye tyrants ! tremble , as yon hear The thrilling accents of that glorious cheer ! Let your proud souls shake off that veil of pride , And learn to steer your vessel o ' er the tide ; Por know , those peals are not of drunken glee , 3 Sni those of men determined % o be freeJ Xnowye they ' re big -with ev-ry tyrant's doom , To scatter ashes o ' er oppr ession ' s tomb . > The thunder echoes I Fe&rgns now is here Id the full zenith of his native sphere ; His native Bphere 3 . for sure h& sees the powr ¦ Which wielded right would close oppression ' s hsui His natire sphere .

      But , hark ! again the mighty thunder speaks , And echo answers ; and again it breaks . It sends the Kphyrs e ' er the fiow * ry meads , And tells , far distant , Chelt ' nham ' s glcrisus deeds .

      getting much thinner . On Saturday morning last she found , for the fir .-t time , that he was labouring under hydrophobia . He was shivering so violently that she could not wash him , and after breaking away from her , ran about the room as if he were wild . Leeches to the temple were ordered and applied , bat he could not take the medicine . When water was f-ffered to him he tried to jump out of the window . He continued from that timo to rave , foam at the mouch , and bark like a dog , until the following Monday , when he died .

      Strong Sympathy in the Dog . —An interesting instance oi' this feeling in the canine species , the authenticity of which may bo relied on , lately took place , crTather is still proceeding , at Invergeldie , a large sheep farm on the es'ate of Lawers , near Coinrie , Perthshire . The overseer became severely indi . ^ posei ? , and for the first ten days after their masttr had taken to bed his two faithful collies refused to be comforted , mournfully declining all sorts of food , nay , even milk warm from ihe cow at last pressed upon them b y the domestics . At length their ease became so serious—for thoy were otherwise valuable dogs , that the overaeer ' s mother was prevailed upon to iuform her sick son , though at the time very low , of the circumstance , begeint of him .

By an eSort , ha succeeded in a weak voice to Bataa his favourites , pointing at the same time to some food , placed at hand for the trial . This gentle command had Us effjc-. ; the dogs at once obeyed , and have since , as if it were ssill repeated to them , which it is not likely ever to bo again , continued to take as much as supports life ; but once every day at least , and ofienc-r if opportunity offer , they glide together inso the room where the sick man is , slip stealthily to the bedside , raise their f ;> re paws upon the bedclothes , and in this attitude continue together for sometime to gaze intently on the pallid features of their now unconscious master , and then droopingly retire OUt Of the room . —Stirlino Journal .

      Railway Accident . —On Wednesday morning week , when the train , which leaves Birminj'ham for Derby , at seven o'clock , had passed tho Burton Station , one of the passengers , observed an unusual smoke from a luggage waggon war the engine ; after several attempts to mako himself understood , he succeeded in getting tbe train stopped ; tho gHard lifted up the cloths which covered the luggage , and after desiring the passengers , who in alarm had left their Beats , to " jumn in , " he called out to the engineer to " ran into Derby as fast as he could . " The train was no sooner set in mouou , than the fiimes burst out wi'h great fierceness ; the foe soon reached the second luggage waggon , and threatened the destruction of the passengers , among whom were many females , who were riding in a third-class carriage at * ached to the lussjage waafions ; the shrieks © f

      the women were frightful , and the blaze most frightful , but so rapid was the speed at which the train had been urged , that the engineer could not stop it , till it reached the approach to the Derby Station , where several persons were much injured by suddenly jumping out of the Carriages as soon as they came to a halt ; every exertion was of course then made to extinguish the fire ; one of the luggage waj-gons was completely consumed , and the other much burst . Surely the engineer and guard ou / jht % o have detached tbe luggage carriages when the fire wasd : scov < red , instead of risking tho lives of the passengers by taking the dangerous course they did . The Sre is supposed to have originated from the spontaneous combustion of some article among tho goods conveyed , as the luggage was well protected from the efftct of sparks from the engine .

      "A Little Mishap . "—An elderly , Iack-a-daisicallookirig little personage , applied to the magistrate at Worship-street Offi ce j on Saturday last , for his advice and assistance in the following delicate matter : —His application , he / said , had reference to a female servant who had lived with him for about seven years , and who had lately conducted herself in such a domineering and outrageous mariner that he could bear with her no longer . She insisted upon having her oivn way in every particular , and on his venturing to remonstrate with her she was in the habit of assailing him with the grossest abuse , and even of obliging him to succumb to her authority by the exercise of physical force . On the preceding night an altercation ensued between them , in the course of which she snatched up a knife arid attacked him with such impetuosity thathe was compelled to fly for protection intothe house of a neighbour ,

      aud he felt convinced that unless the magistrate interfered on his behalf she would carry out her threats of putting him . to death . —Mr . Binghaia : If tho woman be your servant , as you say sho is ^ why do you not send her about her business ?—Applicant ( in a rueful tone ) : I have given her warning again and again , your worship , but she positively refuses to go . —Mr . B'nghant : I supposa you have iuvested her with the character of a mistress as well as of a servant . — -Applicant ( sheepishly ) : Why the truth IB , a little mishap certainly did take placo between us , but I am willing to provide handsomely for the child if sho will oblige me by taking her departuro . —Mr .

      The Old Lady and the Gobbler . —Some years ago the husband of an old lady residing in a country village happened to die suddenly without making a will , for the want of which very necessary precaution hi 3 estate vrould have passed away from his widow , had she not resorted to thefollowingremarkableexpedientto avert theloss of herproperty : —She concealed the death of her husband , and prevailed upon an old cobblerj her neighbour , who waa in person somewhat like the deceased , to go to bed at her house and . personate him , in which character it was agreed that he should dictate a will , leaving tho widow the estate in question . An attorney was accordingly sent for to prepare the required document , and the widow on his arrival appeared to be realizing the greatest affliction at her good man ' s danger , but forthwith

      proceeded to ask quo&tiona of her pretended husband calculated to elicit tbe answers she oxpected and desired . The old cobbbr groaning aloud , and looking as much like a person going to give up the , ghost as possible , feebly answered , ' I intend to leave you half my estate ; and I do think the poor old shoemaker , who lives over the way , is deservihg of the ot her half , for he has always been a good neighbour . " The widow was thunderstruck at receiving a reply so different to that which she expected , but dared not negative the cobbler ' s will , for fear of losing the whole of the property , whilo the ennning old rogue in bed , who was himself the poor old shoemake r living over the way , laughed in his sleeve , and divided with her the fruits of a project which the widow had intended for her own sole benefit .- ^ ' Scotch Oatrelte . ¦ ' ¦ ¦'¦ "

      A Most Dastardly Ootragk was oemmitted on Friday morning early , at tho George Hotel , Portsmouth The house was extremely full on Thursday , and , owing to the Goodwood races , the inmates were rather late in retiring to rest . About two o'clock on Friday morning , when everything was qaiet , a terrific explosion was heard , so as to alarm all tho neighbourhood , and even the police establishment in Pembroke street a'ijo ning . The sound evidently proceeded from the upper part of the house , whither all the inmates ( who had courage ) repaired , but the consternation wps so general that many imagined the house was falling , &o . It was found that the explosion had taken place in a lobby into which

      four doors open ; these wore forced off tho locks aiid hinges , the windows all broken , the skylight also broken ,: wainscots , ceilings , &c , destroyed , carpets on fire , &c , and numerous fragments of cR-rtridge paper , cordage , &c , lying about . It is . conjectured that the ruffians must have made a firework of strong paper , repeatedly folded arid lashed with cordage , and which was probably placed iu a corner , or suspended from a bell-wire , and lighted by a Blow match . Unfortunately , there is not at present any proof as to the person who did it , but strsng suspicions are entertained , and it is hoped that the remnants of paper a-sd cord of which the " infernai machine" was composed may yet lead to detection . —Hants Advertiser .

      Affair of Scandal at Kingstown , Ireland . --The gossips residing in and about the neighbourhood of Kingstown have had ample materials furnished them fer tea-table talk for the next three months , by the explosion of an affair of a very delicate character , which has been in soino measure revealed to the public within the last few days . A gentleman residing at G—— Terrace , in thb above fashionable locality , who writes . . . " Sir " before his name , or u Bart . " after it ( wo forgot which ) , and who is blessed with a beautiful young wife , had a servantman , nam ° d John Smyth , who for some fault or other , was discharged from the Eervice a short time since without a written character . The servant endeavoured in vain to procure the necessary

      document as a passport to future employment , but his master was inexorable , andrefused to a ; rarit the discharge' The ser van t at length made usepfthreats , at the same timealle ^ ing hehad in his possession such a document . ' as would compel the gentleman to grant his request , whether he liked it or riot . On making inquiry of Smyth , the gentleman ascertained that a letter had been given to him about five weeks ago by Lady ( his mistress ) , with directions to deliver it to the person to whom it was addressed . The sbtvant suspecting all was not right , detained arid opened the letter , ' and on perusal of its contents , he was convinced that a very improper intimacy existed between his lady aud a gallant eon of Mars ; ; On stating this fact to hid master ( from whom he still

      sought the discharge ) the latter 'became enraged at the imputation cast on the honour of his wife , and in nowiso doubting her fidelity , he charged the servant with opening a letter entrusted to his caro by La dy—__ , Smyth was accordiaglytaken into custody by the police ou Satvirday , and brdagut beforo Mk O'Callaghan , the presiding Maftistratp ' at the police court . The case was postponed to Monday , when the prisoner was brought up for final exaiaination before Mr . Hitchcock . Smyth had , in the mean time , produced the letter to his master , who was not only horrified at its contents , but at once aokriowledged it to be the handwriting of his lady . la this state of affairs the cuss came before Mr , Hitciicosk ; but the charge against Smyth being withdrawn , he

      was at once discharged .
