However , in dividing ikegoods , angry "words -were bandied about" is "the usual manner , in consequence of the son de-Banding a larger portion than the old man seemed disposed to allow . The remit was that the son threatened to shoot his parent , and proceeded a distance ofhalf a mile to procure a gun in order to put his threat into execution . On his return he pre sented the loaded con at the old man , but the cap

The lady ( whose same did not transpire * foi * and in a very able manner ,-showed the various schemes reported to by the classes comfortably Btnited to take advantage of the poor oppressed pitmen . The employer took advantage of class Jpade 4 * wa to screw down their -wages below Btarvatien point , besides robbing them of Ae Teal quantity of their work earned , by ** that which is an abominatiun 10 the Lord" an unjust balance . The farmer

There were 213 females -enrolled in Ssghill alone ( independent of Cramlington and Seatqn Delavall ) . The women of Seghill hope that all the mining districts in England , Scotland , and Wales will act in a similar manner ; and shew that they will no longer continue to be the willing slaves of a set of idle drones , who are not satisfied with being exempt from toil themselves , living npon the fat of the earth , but who must rob the labourer who supports them , of the common necessaries of life .

      GXJLSCrOW . —Repejx . —A splendid soiree in favonr of Eepeal was held in the City flail on Thursday evening , 29 th uli ., the Rev Mr . O'Ryan in the chair . On the platform were the Rev . Messrs . QaigTey , Wallace , Long , M'Dermid , and M'Gdlori , also Mr . O'Niel Danni , Head Repeal Warden for Scotland Counsellor O'Dand , Mr . Buggy , 0 / the Belfast Vindicator , and Mr . C . C . Scott , « f Edinburgh , with the leading members of committee . On the cloth being withdrawn the Chairman rose ilnid cheers which lasted for several minutes , fie said fhey were met there for no party purpose : it was to consult as to a nation's weal or woe—to proclaim war against tyranny and oppression . Let so person dare to attribute any other motives to Repealers than

      those already before the world . Some might speak of flrhigs and Tories , and say that if Melbourne and Rnssell were back to . office , Ireland would be quiet once more . Be would tell such persons that the Repealer ' s childish days -were gone by ; they had been too long fed with the gilded promises of that parly , but now they were in the attitude of men , and they would not crouch for crumbs when they had a right to the whole . He concluded by apologising for the unavoidable absence of Mr . John O'Connell ; he also read letters of apology for nonaftendasce from Counsellor Stanton , Br . Gray , of the Freeman ' s Journal , Mr . Duffy , of the Nation , and several Catholio clergymen . After , giving the Queen , Albert , the Royal Infants , and the Dachess

      of Kent , he gave ** the Irish People , thelulwark of Repeal , may they soon secure to themselves the blessings of a domestic legislature " , to which Mr . O'Neil Daunt responded . He said he felt a'dimculty in addressing them on the momentous sentiment involved in the toast , which they had just heard . Irish himself , he felt proud when he said , as be could with most strict and literal troth , that never breathed there upon earth a nation better fitted , qualified , or better deserving to enjoj the power of selflegislation than the gallant—the moral—the ehivalrons—the patriotic , and the religious people of Ireland . He valued very highly the connection with great Britain ; bnt he would say she might pay too high a price for that

      connection : and when Irishmen were told of the value of that connection , they would naturally be inclined to ask was that connection worth te their country £ 215 , 000 , 000 . Must she go on to pay at this rate , as the price of the connection ! Must there be inequality of franchise with Great Britain , as the price of the connection I It was not the force of feeling thai made ' him a Repealer , but strong arithmetical demonstrat ions that made him cry for Repeal , the whole Repeal , and nothing but Repeal . Nothing short of Repeal onght to satisfy Ireland . He wonld look npon his countrymen as the most degraded slaves that ever crouched beneath the feet of tyranny if , knowing the means by which the Union was brought about—if knowing the disastrous

      consequences of the Union , and believing in the beneficial effects of immediate Repeal , they would ever concede io any thing ^ hort of the full power of Govern * ing Ireland . After enumerating many of those grievances under which Ireland is labouring , Mr O'D . . concluded a long and eloquent speech amidst the deafening plaudits of the assembly . The Chair * man gave " Daniel O'Gonnell , and the speedy Repeal of the Union , " to which Counsellor O'I > and responded . Having treated of the . many extraordinary qualities of Mr . O'Connell , he came to the second part of the toast . He showed the superiority of Ireland in point of population and wealth over eighteen European States which have Legislatures of their own . He deprecated the idea that

      they wanted separation : they asserted no such thing ; if they did they might follow the example of the people of Scotland . They had a Queen whom they loved , and unto whom they were grateful for her feelings towards Ireland . He referred to the Arms Bill , and said—they take arms fromns that we may be Manned ; that weaponless and defenceless we may look « n while they are plundering us . They plant their guns upon the Martello towers that wd may look on despairing of the fortuaea of our conntry , and of the cloven-down liberties of her children , while the Rhadamanthns steam vessel sail in our harbour ; their mnstachoied troops are parading oar towns , and the . peace and quietness of the temple of the Most High , is

      prolaned by armed battalions ; they take arms from ns lest our country shonM be reduced ; lest , as the men of Scotland did , we too , should take to the heath-clad mountain and make our bed there , and not retnm to our hearths nntil we saw a temple erected to liberty and freedom . They make as defenceless , that we may be as sheep upon the meadows ; and that they may be as wolves rushing from their dens to kill and destroy . But they are mistaken . If we have not armed hands , we have millions of unarmed bands . Let me not be misunderstood . I not the advocate of civil war . It is not my province , nor la it according to my feelings to inculcate the shedding of blood , or anything that may tend to it . Bnt I would tell our oppressors , that we , who

      have battled for England in every time of need-r that we , who have bled for her nnder the burning sun of India—that vre who have pushed her conquests to ihe farthest corner of the earth—I tall them that ive love the land of our birth , as we love the blood that flows in her . I tell them that if there be a nation to be sacrificed—if there be an aitarTeqTiiredTvherBBomething most be victimised , \\ is . ora beloved country , or the hearts that beat within ns . I tell them that the country shall be sated . ( Cheers . ) I tell them more ; I tell them they dare not assail us ; should they do it , I tell them they shall have the worst of it . ( Cheers , which lasted for several minutes . ) I tell them , if victory they have , ( and I doubt it , ) it will be the dearest

      victory England ever gained . The laurels npon that day , which shall grace the triumph of the conqueror , Bhall be funeral cypresses to England ( Tremendous cheers . ) I tell them , in one word , that Scotland , when she met Edward npon the border when he attempted to drag the diadem from the head of Bruce , did not display more determination and more courage than we will , in defence of our liberties . ( Vehement cheers ) These are not my sentiments alone . There Is not a bosom in IrelaBd—there is not a man , 1 believe , in Ireland connected with Repeal of the Union , who does not show this determination , and who does not harbour this identical sentiment . ( Cheers ) Will England be mad enough , circumstanced as she is , to commence the encounter i If she does , she may be an empire afterwards ; bnt will be bnt the spectre and phantom of a nation . Of one thing

      1 shall assure yon , at least , that we are eqnal to the great straggle in which we are engaged . We embarked in it with a resolution which nothing can conquer . The Minister may say the Union shall not be Repeated ; the fctill small voice of Whig ' and Tory may say the thing will not be accomplished ; but history tells us that a nation needs only 10 will to consummate her high aspirations , and to complete the measnre of her glorious destiny—( loud enters ) . Mr . O'D . conclnded a speech , during the delivery of which he completely electrified the audience , by an appeal for renewed vigour on the part of the friends of Ireland , and sat down amidst cheers , and waring of hats and handkerchiefs . The chairman gave several other toasts , which were suitably replied to ; after which the company , which could not be nnder 2 , 000 , ( services for 1 , 456 being laid in the area of the hall , exclusive of the galleries , ) broke np about two o ' clock , am .

      Domesticated Robins ^— In the carpenter ' s shop at the Leeds Botanical Gardens , a pair of robins have built their nest in a recess under the end of the bench on which a man is almost constantly at work , and there aranow in the nest five young ones , being the second brood this Beason . The nest was first built in February , and at the end of March four young ones were reared ^ and jjew away . The parent birds feed their youngs without at all heeding the presence of the workmen ; in fact , they are so tame as to take the food which is freely offered to them daring the day . I

      Hunseet . —On Tharsday evening last , Mr . D . Rosa delivered a soul-Btirring lectnre in the large room , adjoining the Punch Bowl Inn , " on the Repeal of the Union" to an overflowing audience . Great aamb « r * were compelled to retire , not being able to gain admittance . He clearly portrayed the enormities and monstrosities which have been perpetrated on the people of Ireland by a British oligarchy , since the Union with England : and showed that nothing j but a Repeal of the Legislative Union can ) alleviate their diBtreaB or permanently benefit that ill-fated conntry . A few more visits from such men as Mr . Ross , and Hunslet -will stand pre-eminent In democracy . Toryism will be laid prostrate in the dust ; Whiggery will be buried in oblivion ; and Chartism reign triumphant over intimidation , tyranny , and despotism . -

      LONDON . —WoBKisG Mew ' s Hail , Mils Ewd Roatj . —Mr . Sherrard lectured here on Sunday evening last , to an attentive audience , on " the best remedies for existing evils . " He adverted to those * ' weeping advocates of the rights of labour , " known by the name of " fFree Traders , " or rather " Fkeebootbbs f clearly exposing their chicanery in seeking to delude the people with the cry of " cheap bread , " while they are coining heaps of gold out of the sweat and tou of tedder infancy . He proved from Scripture that the present condition of the

      industrious classes was in direct opposition to divine ordinances , and a violation of the order of naturo ; and in a powerful manner showed the People ' s Charter to be the only remedy for the evils which entail misery , poverty , and degradation upon the most useful and deserving portion of the community . He concluded a most eloquent address by calling on his audience in the name of humanity , charity , and benevolence , to arouse themselves from a state of apathy , and unite with their brothers and sisters already in the field , struggling to free themselves from the hand of oppression .

      Lambeth- —Bhitannia Coffee House , Waterloo Road . —At the usual meeting of Chartists in this locality , on Monday evening , the Committee on Exclusive Dealing made their report . Its adoption was moved and seconded , and ably supported by Mr . Bolwell , who pointed out its importance in the obtaining of wealth without money subscriptions , by merely spending our money with those shopkeepers who would allow a discount of 5 per cent , to the fnnda of the Association ; thus bringing about a cordial union between the shopkeeping and working classes . __ The motion was- agreed to unanimously . The subject is to be again brought under consideration next Monday evening , when all members are requested to attend . Other important business will be brought before the meeting .

      Clkbkenweij .. —On Monday last , the Chartist met as usual for the transaction of busiues ; but felt very much the want of a proper organization . Unless something be done in this way speedily , the result will be disastrous to the cause in the Metropolitan localities . This Locality meets next week on Wednesday instead of Monday , on account of various meetings elsewhere . WOODHOUSE— On Sunday last , Mr . T . B Smith preached on the Moor , at two o'clock in the afternoon , to a namerous and highly attentive congregation , from Matt . iii . from the 5 th to the 12 th verse , inclusive . He explained our principles in a dear and lucid manner , and laid down the doctrine of the payment of tithes and offerings in a wav that we suspect would give little satisfaction to the

      wolves in sheep ' s clothing , which , in our days , disgrace the Christian ministry . Mr . S . would have preached again in the evening ; but , finding that a supply -was needed at Leeds , heat once consented to give them the benefit of his service . Mr . Smith lectured In the Chartist Room , on Friday night l&sl , on Mesmeric Phrenology which he treated in . a manner truly satisfactory to a most attentive audienoe . After which , some excellent experiments in Mesmerism were ably goae through . ; Mr . Smith has requested us to correct a mistake into which ho accidentally fell ; in his discourse on the Moor on Sunday ; be stated that the journeymen printers . were suffering grievous oppression from the Bible Society . He intended to say the journeymen bookbinders .

      North Lancashire Delegates . —A delegate meeting was holden at Padib&nyon Sunday , June 25 th , and after a friendly discussion , which lasted a considerable time , upon the necessity of engaging a district lecturer , it was agreed that Mr . J . H . R . Bairstow be communicated with upon the subject . Resolved unanimously , "That we the North Lancashire delegates , seriously deploring the present disorganized state of our association , and being of opinion that all our efforts are vain and fruitless without a grand directing ! power and energy , which

      may be realised from an accredited Executive , bearing the confidence of the body politic ef our agitation , have come to the same conclusion as our worthy friends the South Lancashire delegates , as regards the appointment of a National Conference . " * That we recommend our various localities to hold council meetings at the first opportunity to nominate persons they may consider eligible to serve as their representatives ; also to draw up such instructions as will enable tbam to faithfully serve the constituencies they may represent .

      Awful Collikbt Explosion , Lane-End , Staffokkshikb Potteries . —A most melancholy and fatal accident occurred last night at Fenton , two miles from this place , by which nine lives have been sacrificed , and the event , as might naturally be expected , has occasioned the most painful excitement , and thrown the surrounding district into a state of the deepest gloom . At half-past five o ' clock all the colliers , with the exception of five men and two boys , had finished their work , and had safely ascended the shaft of ihe Greenfields Ash Pit , at the Broadsneld Colliery , where the awful announcement was made that an explosion of fire-damp had taken place . Mr . Barton , the ground bailiff of the colliery , was instantly apprised of the

      occurrence , and in a few . minutes vast numbers assembled to ascertain the fate of the unfortunates , and to render all the assistance in their power . Mr . Barton immediately ¦ , descended , notwithstandthe imminent risk to his own life , and never quitted the pit until the whole of the bodies had been extricated—a work of immense labour , and which was not accomplished nntil half-past eleven o ' clock . Awful to relate , two poor colliers , who descended to give their aid , after Mr . Barton , fell victims to the power that had taken the lives of those they sought to rescue ; and many others are now severely snfiering from the effects of the noxious vapours they inhaled while engaged in their praiseworthy task . It is impossible to describe the scene , as body

      after body , completely lifeless , was drawn up : the screams of women and children , and the unsappreesed groans of friends and neighbours , were truly distressing ; and particularly so , as nearly all the sufferers were persons of good character , well known , and respected . The Broadsfield Colliery is a very extensive one ; a great number of persons are employed in the extensive works ; and it may therefore be readily imagined how sincere and general ib the mourning , and distress amongst the friends and relatives of the deceased . The colliery is in the hands of lessees ; the principal of whom are

      W . T . Copeland , Esq ., M . P ., of the eminent firm < vf Copeland and Garrctt , Lincoln ' s-inn-fields , and W . Baker , Esq . —the latter gentleman being resident on the spot witnessed the' heart-rending scene . The accident is supposed to have been occasioned by an imprndent order given by Smith , the overman , to a workman named Dawson , to close a door before the other men had left the pit , and extinguished their candles , by which means the current of air was diverted from its proper course , and formed a reservoir of gas in the road by which five of the poor colliers were proceeding to the shaft . This is concluded to have been the ca 6 e from the localities

      in which -he bodies werejfound . Thousands of persons were present during the night , but a body of Dolice being present , admirable order was preserved . The following are the names of the sufferers , not one surviving to give a correct statement of the cause of this dreadful event : —James Smith , overman , the legs and arms broken , and the body altogether most horribly mutilated ; he was a married man of good character , had two children , and his wife approach ing her confinement . Jacob Tipton and Mosea Heath , lads of about twelve years of age : the body of the latter is dreadfully mangled , the head , from the mouth upwards , being literally blows off . William Shone , a native of Wales , aged about thirty . James Dawson—leaves a wife and four children , one of whom was born on the previous Saturday ; he was a

      good husband and steady man . Peter Ualderstone had a large family , which are left totally unprovided for ; the body of this poor man was in a . tngntrar state . Wm . Baker , a tingle man . of about twenty-Eeven years of age . Alfred Tomkinson and Samuel Thornton—perished in their attempt to rescue their fellow-suffisrers ; the forn ? er was aged about twentyone , and was of a very religious turn of mind , and of the MethodiBt persuasion .

      An Escaved Felon REGAiruB £ D . ~ Charies Price , the man who some weeks ago escaped out of the custody of the Gomuor of the goal of Newgate , has been apprehended by John Forrester , the officer . As soon as intelligence of the escape had been brought to the police that Price had I contrived to elude the vigilance of tfee people appointed to the duty of watching the passing and reposing of viaiters , Forrester set to work in his own peculiar way , and at length ascertained that the fugitive was in a miserable lodging in the neighbourhood of Bethoal Green . He accordingly went , accompanied by one of the turnkeys , who knew the two

      person of Price , ^ , t o ' clock on Monday , and having given the turnkey certain instructions as to tho course he was to pursqo in ao dangerous a vicinity , slipped up stairs , and surprised the unfortunate man , on a bed of straw , in a most wretched condition , without a farthing in his . pocket , or a shoe or a , hat in his possession . Price made no resistance , and was seated in a cab , and on his way to Newgate , jbefore the landlady of the house knew that he was in custody . If the affair had not been ingeniously managed , he would np doubt have escaped through a trap-door which was on the premises , and which led to another building . He is to be tried at the 1 next session of the Central Criminal Court .

      A * temptei > MupibEK . —On Tuesday last a roan of respectable exterior , named John M'Kenzie , was brought before Mr . Rush ton , stipendiary magistrate of Liverpool , on a' charge of having made a most determined attempt at Savannah to cut the throat of William Draper , the master of the bark Sophia ,, with a razor . It appeared from the evidence of the proseoutor , that the prisoner had , until recently , been the owner of the bark , but that he had become so much reduced in circumstances as to be obliged to sign articles as a man before the mast . The bark sailed from London for Sarannah for a cargo of cotton on the 10 th of February last , with the prisoner on board as a seaman , and arrived on the 2 nd of April , when she got aground in the river , and made so much water that she had to be greatly repaired . After the repairs had been executed , the prisoner ,

      who wished still to be recognised as owner , wanted the captain to sign some fraudulent accounts , in order that the same might be transmitted to the underwriters at home .: The captain repeatedly refused to comply with this request , and in consequence of his refusal , the prisoner , upon the night of the fifth of May , as he Was in the act of retiring to bed , suddenly plunged a razor into the left side of his n ^ ob , which inflicted a wound four inches in length and one in depth , and extended round to , his throat . The prisoner , who alleged that the accusation was as false as malice could invent , said that his principal witness was in Glasgow , and would not be in Liverpool before that evening . Mr . Rushton observed that the charge was a moBt serious one , and ordered the prisoner to be remanded until the following day .

      Brutality im K Workhouse . —Ati , 0 reenwich , a man named Cox , dressed in the clothes of the Greenwich Union , applied to the sitting magistrates under the following circumstances : —He said he had a most serious charge to prefer against Mr . Dunlop , the schoolmaster of the Greenwich Union . In the first instance , his family had been removed to Deptford . One of the boys was then about four years old . He heard that his child had been cruelly treated . They afterwards went into the Union at Greenwich , but the cruelty waa unabated . In February , during the cold bleak winds , Dunlop had cut the child ' s hair as close as though it was intended to shave him ; and then , day after day , he was turned into the yard and never let into the room . He heard that the poor

      child had been turned out into the dead-house of Deptford with three dead bodies during the night . He asked the child how he slept during the three nights , and the answer was , "On the lids of the coffins . " Mr . Grove : Good God ! why did you not apply to the Board of Guardians 1—Applicant : I spoke to two or three of them ; Mr . Powell and Mr . Suter I remember well . —Mr . War man ( the relieving officer of Deptford ) : Had he gone before the board in the right way , he would have been listened to . —Applicant : I did go before the board , but got nojredrees- I was not listened to . — Mr . Warmari : Did you write to the ^ master to request an interview !—No ; but I did go before thorn —Mr . Warman : you see , Sir , he has not gone t 4 right way to work . The case was to be sent bef o r the board . ¦

      valub of Shall Farms—On Thursday last , the Kingston Farm , Wood bridge , now in the occupation of Mr . James Gobbett , was let by auction , in seventeen lots , for a term of eight years ; the result of which was something extraordinary . Through all the most successful times of farming , not a tenant could ever live on this identical farm until the present ; occupier undertook its management ; and now , i when times look anything but prosperous for the success of agricultural operations , this farm , divided as above , has been let for nearly double the amount it has of late realised . — -Su / To / Chronicle .

      Dreadful Destitution . —On Tuesday evening , Mr . Payne held an inquest at the Swan and Sugar Loaf , Fetter-lane , on view of the body of a male infant child , thai ; was born prematurely under the following melancholy iiciroumstances :- >• James Brothereon , of No . 14 , Robin Hood Court ; Fetter-lane , the father of the ! deceased , stated that bis wife , being enciente , was taken ill with the pains of labour on Sunday evening last . About ten ; o'clock , she became much worse , and witness went to the union workhouse to apply for medical aid . He was sent to Mr . Ray , of Salisbury-square , Fleet street , he being the parish ' surgeon . The answer given was that Mr . Ray was from home , and witness then went to Mr . iBuUen . of Farringdon-street

      surgeon , who quickly attended , and rendered every assistance , besides giving witness some money , he and his wife being in very destitute circumstanoes . Witness ' s wife still continuing very ill , the labour being premature , ' and he was told , of a very dangerous nature , witness went again to the workhouse about six o ' clock the next morning , the child having been born in the' meantime without any medical attendance . On going to the Workhouse this time , witness got an order for Mr . Ray to attend , and he then came and saw witness ' s wife , about threequarters of an hour after he had been served with the order , which witness left at his house . Mr . A . Wjnpenny , of Fetter-lane , surgeon , stated that on Monday morning last , he saw deceased and its

      mother , the latterijof whom was still in avery dangerous state . Deceased was certainly still-born , and could not have been more than a six month ' s child . The child had no doubt been born prematurely , in consequence of the sufferings which the mother underwent from destitution . The room which she and her husbaud inhabited had neither bed nor bedding of any kind , aad the child had literally been born on the floor . The husband had been out of work for many months , but had never applied for parish relief . He was occasionally assisted by some of his relatives , as far as they were able . Mr . John Carver , relieving officer of " the ! West London Union , stated that , on hearing of the above horrible circumstances , be immediately visite ' d the parentB of the deceased , and gave them proper assistance . The husband had never applied for parochial relief . Witness believed that the parish surgeon was not bound to attend in any case until he received the parish order . The

      Coroner , after commenting in severe ternis upon the inhumanity of Mi Ray in not attending to the case until he Was actually made responsible for his conduct by the service of the order upon him , desired the beadle to go and fetch Mr . Ray , that lie might have an opportunity of giving some explanation of his conduct . Mr . Ray , being from homis , Mr . Kingslaivd , his apprentice , returned with the beadle , and , after hearing the statement that had been made against Mr . Ray , replied | to it by saying that he was not at home when the witness Brotherson came to fetoa him ; besides which it was not usual , iii any case , to attend without a ! parish order . The'Coroner said that , in his opinion , there could be no exoase for the shameful negleofrt that had been shown , and Mr . Ray might think it fortunate that the child had been born prematurely ; for under such oircumstances , the fury had legally nothing to do With Mr . Ray ' s misconduct . Under the direction oft the Coroner , the jury returned la verdict that deceased was ** Stillborn . " - ' ¦

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Thursday . The first order of the day was ; the adjourned committee on the Irish Arms Bill . The House went into committee on the Bill , commencing with the seventh clause , to which there [ were several amendments . The first division took place on a proviso , that pending the granting of a licence the arms shall be deposited with the police , orj some licensed person . This was proposed to be omitted by Mr . Wyse who moved accordingly , but his amendment was rejected . j The eighth clause , technicallyj termed the " branding clause , " raised a long discussion . Lord J . Russell opposed it , on the ground of its ) nnconstitutionality , and cited the returns to show that crime in Ireland was diminishing . He moved its omission , which was seconded by Lord Clements ! and , after a debate , the amendment was rejected , and the clause was carried , 178 to 104 . j The construction of the ninth clause raised a

      lively discussion . It professes to regulate the mode in which persons , not keeping arms at the time of passing the Act , but who mayj afterwards wish to do so , may apply for a licence twenty-one days before the then next sessions . Sir Robert Ferguson moved [ an amendment ; and as the Attorney-General for Ireland did not seem clear on the subject , and Sir James Graham proposed to remedy the clause by ajproviso , the effect of which was not understood , several other amendments were proposed , to postpone the olause , and also that the chairman report progress Sir James Graham , in somewhat taunting terms , refused to postpone the clause , which provoked a spirited retort from Mr . Morgan J . O'Connelli Lord John Russell declared his intention of supporting the postponement j of the clause , on account of the unsatisfactory conduct of the Government . I

      Sir Robert Peel endeavoured to soothe the House , which was getting warm , and said that if the course were pursued of debating every clause on the merits , it would be fatal , Inot merely to this bill , but to all legislation whatever . Lord PalmehstOn , Mr . Watson , and other Members exposed the absurdity of pressing a clause , the meaning of which was doubtful } to the Government itself . j Lord Eliot made some explanations , but

      Mr . More O'Ferkai-i . remarked , that with nine lawyers , two Secretaries of State , and an hour and a half ' 8 discussion , they wore more distant than ever frem understanding the claosej which was a very sufficient reason for postponement . A division took place on the question of reporting progress , whieh was rejected by ! 252 to 92 . The point , however , was gained ; and after about eight hours had been spent in carrying two clauses , and debating another , the House resumed , and the remaining business was disposed of .

      Who , on reading the above , could imagine it possible , that in the country where all this " glitter and show" is made ; this ostentatious parading of costliness and g ( u ) ilt ; hand-loom weavers , —those who produce the " richest white satin" and the " rich pink silk "; who could imagine , after barkening to this detail of " Peacockism , " that those who made all the finery to deck the royal weddfng party in , are pining to death on Four Shillings and Six-Pence a-week I Who could imagine , that thai fact had been proved ; and that it stands on record , in the Reports of Commissioners sent out by that same Majesty , —who wore for a " head-dress a

      tiara of diamonds" !— -to inquire into their condition Who , we ask , could imagine this ; or imagine that the condition of the great mass of the pro d ucers of wealth was so deplorably destitute , as to render it necessary for the Queen to tend her letter to ** all Bishops and Parsons '' instructing them to beg from the wealthier portion of their congregations , for means to keep the workers alive ! The facts , however , are even so ! The " glitter" was made ; and the workers are starving ! There is , however , this consolation to comfort us :

      all are not poor ! If the hand-loom weaver starves , Majesty has plenty ! If the machinery-displaced cotton spinner haa to stand at the Factory-door to beg a crust from his former shop-mates to save him from the jaws of death . Majesty has not to go a-begging , —for itself ! If the helpless calicoprinters of " High Wages" Cobden ; or the glove-makers—( Majesty wore glavee' )—of " Plenty to Do" Beggs , have to submit to reductions in their incomes of more than one fourth . Majesty has to submit to no reductions ! Not an inch of

      " lace' less ! Not one pearl or diamond extracted from either * ' stomacher" or head-dress" ! Royal limbs can sport the " richest blue satin , " and a " petticoat of white net over white satin , trimmed with silver blonde and pearls . " How right that all this should be so ! If the people suffer , why should Royalty be call * d upon to abridge itself of any , the slightest , external ? What would Royalty be without tinsel ? and if we begin to abridge ,. where shall we end 1 What would a Queen look like , without feathers ! or a King , without

      stars and diamonds ? Peacocks , without tails i Ugly , waddling , screeching monsters ! Thank God we have * not come to that ! Majesty has not yet been compelled to denude itself of its externals , and tand nakedly before the world , ( m ) A JEST ( y ) . No doubt the , recollection of these facts , as recorded in the account of this Royal wedding , will reconcile the colliers of the Potteries to the attempt to reduca them to eighteenpencb-a day \ How are " stomachers" and " head-dresses" to be maintained else ?

      But we are forgetting ourselves . We are neglecting the " ceremony . " The dresses have so captivated us , —they were bo " fine" and so " costly , " that we have lingered to admire them , We are , however , now in Church : — " The Bride was given away by her father , the Duke of Cambridge . The demeanour of her Royal Highness was throughout unaffectedly graceful—¦ ¦• not obtrusive , but retirM ; ( The mora desirable ) or , to s&y all , , Nature herself . Her air inspir'd The spirit ef love and amorovs delight ' j ii " The Bridegroom evinced great self-possession , and gave the responses in a firm and audible tone . The responses of the Bride were not heard . "

      Here we must stop . Farther we dare aot go . What happened after , it is not for us to tell " Spirit of love" and " Amorous delight" !—drawn be the curtain ! Fie-for-shame on the man who would wish to peep within ! Cover them up !! Just one word more before we leave them . " The responses of the Bride were not heard . " She will mend of that ! If she is like other women , she will make her husband hear her responses , before she has done with him . We should not wonder bnt that the first morning after " the ceremony , "—dare we have staid to ascertain the fact , —saw her considerably cured of her " inaudibleness . "
