SACRED POETRY.
SACRED POETRY. (From the British Magazine.) EVENING HYMN. Now the sun doth wearied seek His western rest Night advancing,girds arouud Her sable vest. Ere the fires of day expire. Chant we forth in solemn quire,— God of gods, and Liht of light, Guard us through the coming night. Lingers in the darkening sky, A parting ray Like the last fond dying smile, Ere death's drcay. Through the calm that rests around, Floats along the sacred sound,— U God of gods. and Lighc of light, Cuard us through the coming night. Steals along the deepening gloom O'er earth and sky ■Night winds from their misty cells Drear murmur by. Ills unseen may lurk around. E'en within our narrow bound God of gods, and liiht of lieht. Guard us through the kncly night." From assaults of evil men, (While we sleep.) Safe beneath thy mighty hand Thy seivants keep. Idle thoughts and inurmurings vain,— Death and hell's fiNce wrath restrain. God of gods, and Light of light, Guard ns through the coming night."

ON STORING ApPLEs AND PEARS, AND GROWIN G STRAWBERRIES.—If you wish to mature your fiuit for immediate use put it into heaps that it may sneat, and your object will be attained; hut should you desire to keep your fruit a 10llg time, [dace il in an under-ground room, one apflle or peClr rieep, upon shelves of flag or s:a:e, or any other material which will rapidly conduct away the heat generated in the fruit during its sweating, or which will check its fermentation so as to postpone its c'.ecny. Do you aim at growing a luxuriant crop of leaves on your strawherry-beds? then manure Ihem without mercy, as advised. But if fruit should be prefetred to leaves, yon may get an abundance of it by devoting a moderately rich and rather stiff piece of ground to such good bearing sorts of strawberries as Keen's seedling Grove-end scarlet, aud Elton seedling', pro- vided you plant" ithout manure, and, having planted, permit the runners to mat over the bed without let or hinrlrance. If after th. ee or four creps the plants should show signs of poverty, you may then scatter some manure upon them. Should early fruit he desired, Keen's seedling or Grove-end scarlet may be grown, with the plants eight or nine inches apart, on II steep sunny bank faced with rubble- stones or pieces of brick and it no natural bank can he bad convenient!), au artÎficiitl one would he readily made, the back part of which might be planted with the Elton seedling, which would pro- long the strawberry season till the beginning of August.

I have tlw honour to be your humble servant, E B. PUSEY. Brasenose College, Nov. 19, 1841. Dear Dr. Pu«ey, — U"feignedly do ) regret that anything should have occurred 10 place us in oppo- sition lo each other; but I am compelled t<> not ce some statements in ymr printed circular, dated 171'1 inst., of which 1 did not see a copy until late last night. I must beg leave to deny altogether that 'be object of Ihis ill bringing forward Mr. Mr. Gatbett's talents are admitted by all who know him. Ilis acquirements in every d'-pariinent of literature are extensive. He is intim.i ely ac- quainted wilh the poetry of most countries and ages. Ife has a singular power of retaining and combining all that he lias ever reail, and of develop- ing his own systematized views to the appreliens'ons d others. What I I'ave already said a'most implies, but I wi 1 di-lii!ctly add, that his fpp1ing- for the beauties of poetry is true, and his criticism manly, just, atid COlli Drph I' n s i, P. With this conviction of liis fitness for tlie office we needed no other inducement to Ining him forward for the Professorship of Poetry. How far Mr. Will iams "had been generally i thought, hy resident tnem' e's of the University 10 he marked out by his poetic talents to fill that chair" it is not lor me lo say I can only state that I never heard Mr. Williams mentioned for that post until | alter our own resolution had been taken. You have received Iron) one of the Fellows a similar assurance concerning himself; and 1 find that many others of our body were etjUal ly destitute ot information upon this poinl. With respect to the non-residence of Air. Garbett, you will yourself admit tlut his case is decidedly j distinguished fro us that of the gentleman t<> whom you allude. It is, however, precisely similar to that ot the prt'sent prolessor, whose example we have in support of our conclusion, that the, duties ot the office may be ably discharged notwithstanding Alter all, it may unfortunately Iw true, that what was begun in generous rivalry may be assuming, more or less, the character of religious division. Bui we deny that we are responsible for this, either gene- rally or now in particular. We have not sought such an issue; we have encouraged no step towards it. We onlv advocate tlie just preten-io"s ot a gen- tleman well qualified lor the ollice which he is seeking, who has ably served his college as tutor, the Univer- sity as public examiner, who has been selected to filj on the next occasion the important olHce ol Hampton lecturer, and of whom we assert, as you ot his competitor "that it is his earnest desire and aim to promote the sound principles ol our church according to the teaching of her liturgy." Believe me, dear Dr. Pusey, truly yours, A. T. GILBERT. Rev. Dr. PusPy, Canon of Christ Church, Regius Professor of Hebrew. Considering that ou have printed and circulated your letter, you will not be surprised at my giving equal publicity to the above. SULPVVKRCK AND IIAUSII TREATMEVT OF TIIK. CREW.—Intelligence has been received in the city of the loss of the brig Unity, Captain James Betts, of and for Dundee, from Stettin, with a cargo of staves and flax. On the 10th instant she suddenly sprung a leak, wllieh. notwithstanding the exertions of the cre at the pumps, both day and uight, continued to increase untill Saturday last, when she went down, about 45 miles olf Whitby. Previous to her sinking Captain Betts, who was part owner of the vessel, and his crew, got on board the Swedish ship Clio, Capt. Oberg, Iron) Geffle, bound for New York, who assi«t»d iu saving part of the sai's, rigging, provisions, and other stores. We regret t,) state, however, that the Hwprlish captain's cOllllltCI tnwards Capbill Betts and his crew was most inhuman, he having refused to permit them to go below from the deck during very inclement weather for three days and nights • hat lliev were put on Iward the smack Rose-in-June, Cantain of Dover, Allci landed al Ramsgate on Wednesday, Captain Betts having handsomely Betts was compelled to leave the Clio without getting any of the property saved from the Unity, Captain Oberg refusing to de'iver it up, and he has proceeded with it to New York hu' it is to be hoped, that should the Clio put into uny port in the Channel, thedepnty Vice-admiral's agents, or other authorities, will take means to securo it. We understand the Unity was insured in Dundee. THE ALI.EMT-D DISCOVI RY OF VALUABLE JEWELS AT TIIK KXCHEQUEK.—Our readers will remember that a few weeks ago certain mysterious whisperings were current concerning an alleged discovery, at the Exchequer of jewels to a very considerable amount —jewels, it was said, which hittl been empawned to meet the exigencies of the extravagant King Charles II., and had lain there so long that their existence hud been forgotten.and that theirdiseovery was the result of accident, a hit (If g-nod fortune, a (lrt of set off against the defalcations in Exchequer-bills. The matter was delicately alluded to in some of the papers, but all seemed to lack information on the interesting subject. One paper did, however, venture to confirm the report, but to say that the matter had been exag- gerated Exaggerated, indeed, it was. III filet, tlie alfair was what is vulgarly called a "mare's nest." A belief had, however, existed in a high quarter that property to n lare nmount h-id lain oy for n long period, the value of which it would be desirable to ascertain. It appears that in the year 1797 a hox containing jewels had been sent from the Exchequer- office to the bank of England, to be deposited in the Bullion olHce; and an order was recently sent down to the Bank to h ive the mysterions casket examined. A day was accordingly appointed, and the govenor of the bank, Mr. Marshall, the chief cashier, and several gent'emen connected with the Government, assembled for the purpose of makin an official inspection, and reporting upon the same to head quarters. They were, moreover, attended by several jewellers called in professionally to decide as to the "water" of the diamonds, and the valuc of the other gems it contained. The conclave assembled—the box was brought in But to the surprise of all it Was nOlhing- more than a lozenge-box tied with a red tape and sealed hll the top. It was opellP(1 IInel foulld to contain a pair of ditnond earrings and a garnet brooch. A general laugh was excited bv the appearance of the ridiculus mus, and one of the jewellers said he should be sorry to give for its contents. These are the simp'e facts of the matter, which excited much mer- riment among those engaged in the investigation. THE MURDERER BLAKESLRY.— It isnot true that Blakesley had the sacrament administered to him previous 1o bis execution Oil Monday morning; the fact being that the reverend Ordinary considered himself justified in wil holding the rites of this awfully sacred ordillancp under the recent circumstances of thli criminal's duplicity and unsatisfactory state so few hours before hisdeparture. FIRE IN WOOLWICH DOCKYARD.—On Saturday morning last, i.bollt half-past three o'clock, one ot the Dockyard police, observing smoke issuing from a building used tor the purpose of making Grant's pa'ent fuel, on a close approach to it found it was in flames, and immediately gave the alarm. The Dockyard enzines were promptly brought to Ihe spot, and the alarm bell hping rung, the e'ngines of tlie Royal Marines, Royal Artillery, and Royal Sappers and Miners «ete soon piesent.and an ex- cellent supply of water being obtained from the basin almost close to the building, ihe spread of the devouring element t'» the engine-house was pre- vented, hut no exertions could save the wooden building in which the fire originated, and conse- quently it was burnt lo the ground. The fire is supposed to hive originated from "ne of the iron pipes under a portion of the wood having become overheated on the previous day, and 'he wood IIav, ing from that cause such a degree of heal commu nicated to it as ultimately caused it to ignite. It is worthy of observation thai the fires used at this work are always put out aholll four o'clock in (lie afemoon, imnedialoly after II." convicts leave work, so IIIal tbe tire if it originated from them, must b-ive remained twelve hOllr" undiscovered. During Ihe fire a falal accident took lace ill the basin A young man. years of age. named John ,Jol.nscon.

The loss will not he veiy great, as the building was on'y constructed of wood, and fortunately i' was in a manner detached trom the other parts of the yard. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF INCENDIARISM.-OII Monday morirng, Ihe farm hui dings, leased by Mrs. Lieveslpy, at Castle Norwich. Cheshire, wet f dis- covered to be in flames. Wilh the exception of a quantity of hay saved by the petsonal exertions of ao individual, he Itg-ricnllll,al property and con- tiguous buildiiKTs were destroyed. Fortunately the wind blew in contrary direction, otherwise the farm house must have been des'royed. Soon after the fire broke out Mr. John Li"ve»'ey. a young man, one of the Cheshire constabulary, and at once ad- mitted that he had set fire lo the premises ot his mother..The fo'lowing mo'tiing he underwent a long examination before Messrs. Wilbraham and Tow tishend, counly magistrates, and the result has been his committal 10 Chester Castle to take his Is ial at Ihe next assizes. The Queen, in her capacity of guardian of the Duke of Cornwall, has been pleased to nominate Thomas Pemberton, Esq., of the Chancery bar, Attorney-General of the Duchy.

[No title]
To the Editor of the Advertiser and Guardian. j SIR. —It is melancholy to contemplate the vast number of suicidal cases that have occurred during the last month within the metropolis. The London papers have been literally teeming with inquests and accounts of attempts at self-destruction. Not a Police Import could yoti lool-, over but one or two cases ol I II is descripion were sure to meet yovireye. It is extraordinary too, that not only "as the crime itself become quite a fashionable rage, but the self-same inean-i of comrnilling it are sought after by the votaries of the prevailinff milnia with the greatest assiduity. Last year, in Paris, the ummie of Buonapartes Column, in Place Vendome. was the object then, the Monument, in London, be- came notorious from the like cause; but now ttlackfriar's Bridge seems to be the Eldorado" of all would-be-self-destroyers. As an absolute fact, it was stated lalc-ly to the Magistrates in Guildhall, that the interference of the police was required three or four times a night to prevent per- son* from hurling themselves ott the parapets of this bridge. Seriously speaking, to all considerate thinkers, this is a matter of grave reflection. Is it from our habits having become more dissipated, and the depressing effect of dreary damp and dis- mal weather (in this respect, this year, October seems to have oui-Novembered the melancholy month) upon minds thtls enervated, that there is this proportionate tendency to suicide? or can it be from the fashionable vices of extravagance and speculative folly (now seeming to infect all classes alike, from the Aristocracy downwards) and their natural consptjuencfs. -ii,n and wretchedness, that the brand of self murder is likelv to be fixed on our national character ? That either of these ouses will lead, in many instances to a dreadful termin- ation, "e most, without h-sitaiion. admit. At the same time, we kcolV not how to reconcile wi'h our notions ot the Lu-^lish character, the scarcely cre- dible ac!, that very many of the suicidal attempts (the greater portion too, by females) have pro- ceeded from the most trivial ca,-Res-siicti for instance as, one young woman on account of being discharged from her [dace; another because re- buked by her lather, ai tempting to drown them- selves; and a third, after ihree months of wedded i e, taking a doocp of oxalic acid, on account of some slight matrimonial squabble, with stiridry o1 hei s that could not be enumerated, of a l ike oes- criplioll." I his is an enigma that must be solved by more philosophical heads than our own. It can hardiy be possible lhat, together with the customs and habits (now so much in vogue) of our conti- nental neighbours, we are about to assume their naiional characteristics, exchanging our strong sense of principle for speculative fancies and ima- ginative susceptibilities? God forbid, that the steady sober-minded way of thinking so peculiar to the Kuglish nation, should ever he merged in the moibid spnsibililies of a frivolous Frenchman." It is sincerely to be desired, should this month be as fruitful as the last in this abominable crime, that Sir Peter Laurie, and other magistrates in London, by continuing to make example of those who would commit self-murder, solely on s(inic fanciful grievance, by sending them to Pi ison for trial, and thus giving them time 10 repent of their egregious folly, will be enabled, in some degree to drive this national cilillility iird epidemic pest from out of the metropolis.

THE JOURNAL OF THE WORKING…
THE JOURNAL OF THE WORKING CLASSES. London. --0- If journals of Ibis character were read by thp working1 men of England instead of the penny and two-penny trash which now makes the press rather an instrument of evil liian a bhssinsr, the conditions or our mannfaci uringr and agricultural population would be wonderfully improved. We wish every success to Mr. Painter's new journal. It is written in a honest, manly spirit—conveys ju«t views — and deserves universal support. We have reat pleasure in extracting 'he following from No 2; whose subject is —The union of the working classes." Those, then. who seek to divide the working class- es of this country iutoddferent parfies, and to set the farming poor against the manufacturing poor, and the shipping and tishery poor against the mining and colliery poor, separating them as much as possible (rom each other, aurl persuading Ihem to believe that their interests are wholly different, are not friend.. to the working classes, but their worst and most cruel enemies. In like manner, when the mechanics of our great towns and cities, manufactories and potteries, are told that the landowners are their natural and constant enemies,those who thus deceive hate not the desire to serve, but to injure them, by dividing them, and indticiug them to act separately and alone, like Sling-Ie and selfish people, instead of together, like rational and prudeut men. And when the farm- ing men and labourers of our beautiful British farms are taught that manufacturers and merchants only wish to ruin the landowners, and to introduce and eat foreign, instead of British grain, they so act to set the land against the loom, aud the labourer against the mechanic. The teachers of these false maxims aeek to divide the people into c'as«es, or distinct par- lies, not thereby to serve the mechanic, or do good to the labourer, but exclusively to beneift themsel ve« and tkeirown interests. The maxim of "live and let live" these sowers of division and discontent never could understand. Thus the se!fi-h manufacturing teacher will declare, without blushing, that Great Britain owes everything to the looms and spinning; jennies; and the ignorant agriculturist teacher will insist that manufactures are nothing, and that the soil of the couutry is exclusively the source of its wealth and happiness. So sometimes the manufacturing poor are induced to cry, "Down with thefllrmers i" and Ihe atrricultural pOOT to exclaim, "DuwlI Niih the ma- nufacturers." This state of things is injurious to a!1 parties, for none can benefit from disunion. This can be made very plain from the examples of a private family,aod a benefit socie'y the which we shall now attempt as briefly as possible. Let us suppose the case of a family, consisting of a father, a mother, and five children, three of whom are able to work and contribute their wage- to the family purse. The father, he earns fifteen shillings per week as a mechanic the eldest lad is strong and healthy, and likes farming-his wages are ten shil- lings as a waggoner the next boy cannot do much, to be sure, for he is only fourteen, but he is employed in a warehouse, and gets six sbill'titr* whilst his brother, of thirteen, runs on errands for the lawver of the town, and sometime* for the doctor, and takes home to his mother from two shillings and sixpence to three shillings every Saturday night. Thus fifteen •hillings from the father, ten from the eldest son,six from the second, and say two and sixpence from the ihiid, make up together thirty-three shillings and sixpence per week. With this sum there aie seven mouths to feed, seven pet sons to clothe, warm, house, doctor when ill, and keep healthy and strong. And right well does the mother do it her needle the clothes mended, her prudent housekeeping supplier good bread, soup or meat, vegetables, milk, lea, and sometimes coffee, 10 her hushand and Children; the house is warm, cleanly, and comforta- ble; and. in that family, union is strength. Bye and bye one of the teacbeis of Chartism, or Socialism, gets hold of the eldest boy, and persuades hi'n to become his own master-to go to the public-house and polnt. with his own''—and to strike for better wages. The second lad follows Ihe example of the elder brother; and when the Saturday night re'urn-, it comes with ony fifteen thrtmgt froio the father, and two aud sixpence from lb« youuyest bo/. So the mother has to pay the r. nt, and the fii ing, an>l the candles which cost as ( much for five as for seven, out of seventeen shillings and six-pence; and as she is all hottest woman, aud hates getting into debt, she is oblige to give up the comfortable old house where they lived, united and happy, many years, and to get into lodgings. All soes on wrong very soon. The father fall* sick, and nothing is coming in but the earnings of the voungest boy. As to the two lads who left the family table, they lost their plac s, and got into troub'e — and the end of that family is a had ou", "Take the example of a benefit society. is rules are fair and cqual-it" by-laws are just and wise- the society is prosperous, and much good comes from it to the sick, to the poor man out of work, and to the widow, or the orpin". BUI, aflpr several yeai s of prospcrit v some talking, dtinkng, vain-boasting members find fault with 'he laws, dispute about trifle, complain of the officers, all" introduce trouble aud quarrelling where peace and harmony had so long existed. What is to he done ? Members drop off—peaceable and orderly men go e'e\Vherc-the funds gd illlo a state of confusion — lawyers are employed — it requires no conjuror to tell that, when once the union of the members is at an end, the society cannot possibly remain long upon its leg". So it is with a nation, and particularly with this natron. The strength o! Great Britain has not c in- sisted in il !>eillS{ surrounded "ilh sea, nor in the bravery of its inhabitants, nor in the fine bold cliif* and rocks which surround some poti ons of its coasts but in the union "fits peop'e. The ppoplp h^ve loved the same Onsiiint'oti, the samc Royal Family, Ihp suite Lords aud Common*, Ihe -ame tree institutions of the country, and that same free roo. ligion ton, the Protesu.n' religion of a fiec Church, answerable to none hot Ood, and having only one spiritual head, Jesus Christ himself, who founded, and still supports his own relisfioi). The wealth of this count'y has heeo the result of union. The land is as necessary as the loom, aud the loom as the land The flocks "» the hills, and the corn in the fields, are as necessary to the independence, happi- ness and strength of the people, a* th<>se large manufactories at Manchester Birmingham, and Sheffield, where multitudes of human brings are collected together to mal»e those beautiful produc- tions of British skill and industry, which are the admiration of the whole world. Bllt after cpntur;e- of union, there are teach"rs going abuut the country now to sow disunion, and to instruct the people to believe that the manufacturers can do without the farmers, and that the farmers have no need of the manufacturers."
SECRET SOCIETIES IN FRANCE.^-DOC-TRIES…
SECRET SOCIETIES IN FRANCE.DOC- TRIES OF THE These doctrines may he ascertained from the fol- lowing note of meeting held on ihe 20t h of July, 1841, by the committee of the founders 01 the Journal iHumani/aire — We have unanimously recognised and adopted in principle the nine following questions, as the fundamental basis of Ihe doctrine Communistc egalitaire: — TRCTH- is indivisible it alone ought 1o guide the reasoti of man "e ought, therefore, to proclaim it every « here in a fitting manner. MATERIALISM—ought to be proclaimed, as it is the invariable law of nature, upon which oil is founded, and which cannot be vio!aed withoUl falIing into error. "INDIVIDUAL FAMILY —ought to be ab >I:shed, tlecallse it t'sl abl i he the division of I he ¡¡ffeft ion bieaks up (he harmony of biotherwood, which alone ought to unite men, and causes all the evils which destroy them. M A RKIAGE—ought to be abol isbed, because it is an iniquitous law, which u akes slaves of those whom nature creatpn frep, and constitutes the fle«h privatp property, renders by this means community and happiness impossible, inasmuch a it is clear thar community does not admit any kind of prp- perty. THE FINE ARTS—being beyond the NATURE and I he Wilnts of man, can ooly be accppted as a relaxation. LUXURY —must disappear for the same rea-on, that it is not in nature or the wants of men. "TOWNS—must be destroyed, because they are centres ot domination and corruption. EACH COMMUNITY — shall have a special em- ployment (une speclalite d'etat). TRAVELLING—having relation to the organisa- tion and activity of man, ought to receive the utmost possible development. Havin resumed these nine questions, we passed to debate and unanimously resolved,—That man had neither idea, nor taste, nor inclination, nor innate aptitude, because it should then be allowed that lie had two different natures, which is excessively absurd, and consequently, community would become impossible. In fine. \\1.' have denied the existence of devotedness, inasmuch as that which is now called so is pure selfishness, or the inferior gratification of some want." J o THE ROYAL NURSERY. The apartment set apart as the nursery of the infant Prince immediately adjoins the chamber of the Queen, and is frequently visited by Prince Albert, who, with the natmal pride of paternity, often takes persons into the room to »ee (he heir to the throne. The general opinion of all who have been admitted to a sight of the Royal infant, is that he is a finer child than many healthy children of twotnonths old. His features are larger 1 han those of the Princess Royal. The nursery breakfast is at half-past seven, and the Prince is dressed immediately alterwards.

The re-excitement was produced iu con- sequence of its becoming generally known that Mrs. Sar ill Blakesley, the unfortunate widow of the tilan, who expiated his offence in front of Newgate on Monday week last, had expired. The unhappy woman's death makes the fourth life that litis fallen a sacrifice to this domestic tragedy, vix., Mr. Burdou Mrs. Blakesley and her male child, of whom she was prematurely delivered, and the author of this dire catastrophe, Robert Blakesley. Mrs Blakesley, his widow was in the 25tli year of her age, and was the daughter of a Mr Atkins, who for several years carried i ll the trade of a respecable livery-stable keeper. She was formerly ill the serviee of Lord Surrey.andquittedher situation to assist her sister and Mr. Bunion in the public business. B'akes- ley's first, acquaintance witu her arose out of his oc casion illy visiting the King's Head with some gentle- men connected wi'h the Corn-Exchange. An intimacy sprang ui> between them a'jou- 12 months since, and it is said that a very strong attachment existed be- tween them. It is already known that Blakesley, a few minutes before he left the co dcmiied cell for the last, time. declared that it was his intention to have murdered wife, hut no explanation of his fatal purpose lias I ceil hitherto conveyed to the public. The onl v declaration he made in this respect was to the Ordina v of Newgate, to whom lie stated that it was nis di-tcrmin ition, as they could not live together, "to die at. the same time," adding, that at the time and before his commission of the offence it was his lull conviction he would be executed. From all the inquiries that have been made, it ap- pears to be untrue that the intelligence of her husband's execution was maoe known to In-r, hut slw informed her medical attendant a few d ivs before the extreme sentence of the law was carried out that site dreamt of her husband's ignominious end. An inquest was held on the burly on Saturday, when the jury returned a verdict ol Wilful Murder against Robert Blakesley, i
----ATTEMPT TO DESTROY THE…
ATTEMPT TO DESTROY THE HORSE GUARDS. A gentleman connected wilh the Hon-e Guards acquainted us so late as Wednesday l ist, with the fael I bat a great sensation "iJ" crealed Ihere on Wednesday morning, about one o'clock, in con- sequence of a ball having been thrown imo the building with the intention of setiiog fire lo it but the ai n < f the incendiary not being well taken it fell at the feel of a sentry on du'y, win immediately communicated the circumstance to the authorities; and they are in possession, as we are informed, of a portion of the destructive missile But what makes this eÏrCnRlSlance Ule more extraordinary i", Ihal It similar combustible hall was thrown on the same morning at the barracks behind the National Gallery, at Chaiing-cross. It was fortunately discovered in time to prevent the inten- tion of the incendiary from taking effeci. The auihori ics at the Ho se Guards were occupied during ilie whole of Wednesday, in eudt avouring lo dis- cover facts tending to elucidate this mysterious occurrence, but with no success. The informaiion was then conveyed to Colonel Rowan, of the Metropolitan Police, who is now engaged in inves- tigating the circumstance j and it is to he hoped that the perpetrators of the outrage "ill shorfly be in the hands of justice. A reat deal of secrecy is observed on the subject, in order that the ends of justice may not he frustrated and the impression that now prevails is that the fire at ihe Tower of London was not accidental, hut may be traced to the same arch-incendiary who endeavoured to de- stroy the Horse Guards and the Chariug-cross harrllck" on the morning of Wednesday last. Several persons havo been examined, hut a8 ye' nr. light has been thrown upon (he alfair, which remains involved in the deepest mystery. But it is cl arly to he seen, that a design is entertained by some diabolical incendiaries to desf oy the great public huddings of Ibe metropolis. The soldier at ihe Horse Guards, at wlume feet the cmiibiis ib'e ball fell, did not. observe any person in the street hy whom the missile appeared to have been thrown but, in the alarm aud confusion which so mysterious an occurrence may naturally be supposed to have created in his mind, it is possible that the iuccudiary escaped before he was looked after. There can be no doubt but that, had the ball taken etFect, the llorse Guards would have been destroyed. Thc ahove info/mlltioll ill tlerived froll1 authority upon which we have firmest retiaoo". An opinion exists that some discovery has been made of a chymical preparation that may be cariied about the person undiscovered, alld thrown 81 any building the incendiaries may think proper to set fire to. So Ihal Buckingham Paiace itself may not be safe; 011(1 Ihe very existence of Ihe Queen may be in danger from the diabolical designs of mis- chievous and atrocious per-ons. 'This opinion is strengthened by the occurtence of so manv fires i t tlie dockyards, and the great public buildings..— (Frosn the Planet) THE LATE ATTEMPT TO OKT ADMISSION ISTO BUCKINGHAM PALACE. — The unfortunate lunatic, Charles Maun, who on Saturday night last, made such au attempt to gain admittance into Buckingham Palace, was, ou the afternoon ol Tuesday, conveyed to Bethlehem Hospital by Inspector Hemming, of the A division of police, and s-ifely lodged iu thai institution for the reception of lunatics, in a ward nearly adjoining- Ihal oC (hford, who, it will be well reco'lected, attempted to shoot Her Majesty on Const it u tioti-bill.

Our regret is further increased by a fact, with which our correspondent furnished us, that a gentleinan, i& )to is a magi-t- trate (!) of this county and of Gloucestershire, and whose duty, in that capacity, should have been to enforce the law rather than to encourage its viola- tion, openly purchased an unseasonable fish. at a,boti t ten-pence per pound, in order to effect a paltry saving of two-pence. We are asked, H ho is to be the prosecutor in such instances?"
