Lo ! angel-form'd Freedom o'er Europe is spreading The flame of her glory, which shines from afar ; The hearts of proud tyrants their downfall are dreading— They faint—they fear more titan the thunders of war. The blast of her trumpet bath waken'd the nations ; The soul-moving shout is now wide o'cr the sea— It mingles its tones with the senate's orations, It calls, from the thriU of the tempest, BE razz ! The echo is heard to resound o'er the mountains; 'Tis heart) in the ship as it glides o'er the waves : 'll3 the voice of the vallies, the plains, and the fountains— The voice that is hear d float our ancestors' graves. 'Tis the roar of the Polish artillery's thunder; It bursts on our cars from the wounds of their slain, Whose valour excites all the nations' deep wonder ; And soon shall they have what they battle to gain. And then shall the shout of their myriads of voices Proclaim the glad triumph of Freedom and Peace, And tell the whole world that all nature rejoices That man shall be free, and all tyranny Cease. Yc I , re.ve sons of Gaul, who are true-hearted heroes, Come join in the song and the shouts of the brave, And sing of the downfall of tyrants and Pharaohs : Rejoice i—we have broken the chains of the slave. And Britain will join, while the loud shouts of pleasure Shall ascend to the skieß, like the blasts of the storm ; She n:eds not to draw forth her war-castles' treasure— She conquers her foes with the shout of REFORM! SCIENCE. The Bristol Journal announces in its columns a sale of West India sugar, " the bona fide property of negroes in the island of Barbadnes; the produce of their own grounds, and manufactured for them by their nosters !" FRENCH NEWSPAPERS.—There is no better criterion of the influence of public opinion than the number and size of newspapers. Two newspapers, we believe, supply the kingdom of Naples; Por tugal has as many ; and the Spanish monarchy, we believe, about four; France possesses from 150 to 200 ; the British Isles about 400 ; and the United States 1,000. Ten years ago, the Constitutionnel was about as large as two leaves, or one-fourth part of the Examiner, and badly printed on coarse paper ; but since that time all the French journals have been extending their dimensions. In July next, the Temps Paris paper is to be enlarged to a size exceeding that of the English Times. The present price is only 80 francs, or 645. per ann. or twopence and half a farthing for each number. Such is the consequence of the absence of news paper taxes. MENTAL OCCUPATION.—How many men of independence and leisure are there tow horn life is a btirthen ; on whom time hangs like a weight of lead, and who ate eager to plunge into any amuse ment that may make them forget themselves, and kill the passing time that is fleeting so rapidly to a close! How many poisons have committed sui cide from want of mental occcpation ! bow many have gone mad by dreaming away their hours in revelries and foolish conceits ! But what are these men to whom time is a but then ? Are they geolo gists, astronomers, or chemists ? Are they botan ists or landscape painters ? Are they butterfly hunt ers—to use the term often spoken in derision? Are they naturalists or philosophers of any kind ? We • may safely, I believe, answer in the negative. No one who pursues science is likely to complain of tedium vita, the ennui of modern times.—Drum mond's Letter to a Young Naturalist. STATISTICS OF AUSTRlA.—TheEmpireof Aus tria is an assemblage of nations absolutely diffe rent, having their origin, government, language, and national assemblies distinct. Its population, of about 30 millions of souls, is composed nearly as follows: 5..500,000 Germans, of which two along are under Austria itself: 13,000,000 Scla vonians of different races; 4,500,000 Hungarians, 1,500,000 Wallacbians, 500,000 Jews, and 4,900,000 Italians. The Austrian army is com posed, in time of peace, of about 270,000 men. A mos . r IN GENIOUS INVENTION.— A very cu ricus piece of mechanism has been lately invented by a young Italian gentlemen of the name of Galli, now in this country. One of its objects is to ena ble us to write faster than any system of short hand hitherto known, or than any orator can speak. But this is not all. Many copies of a discourse, legibly written, may be taken at the same time while it is rehearsing. It is played upon by the fingers, like a musical instrument, and the mann ; script is rolled off a cylinder during the course of the writing. By employing it, a book may be copied while the reader is perusing it, and as fast as it can be lead. The Judge on the Bench may, , by its means, take down the deposition of wib j nesses while his mind is intent upon the bearing of ' the eviCenee. By a little habit, even the blind may be made to use an instrument which will ena- I ble them to copy faster than any short-hand writer. This ingenious machine has many other advantages which, if realized according to its in ventor's expectations, will produce great changes in our present system of written or telegraphic communication.— Times. We copy the following remarkable instance of longevity and increase from an American Paper : " John Howard Smith and Elizabeth Ireland, both of Huntingdon Suffolk county, L. I. were married in the year 1765, They are still living in the en joyment of health, at a ripe old age, the former being in the 87th, and the latter in her 83d year. Their descendants are as follow, viz.-17 children, 97 grand children, 135 great grand children, one great great grand child.—Total 250, of whom 210 are now living. As a proof of the good example and the sage counsels of the aged pair, in all the 210 descendants yet living, not one of them is known to be dissipated or intemperate. FUTURE TRI U PHs CuLlaisTny.—Should el:palms, in consequence of the knowledge acquired by future investigations, ever arrive at the know ledge of forminfr these (the components of all ani mal and vegetable substances) principles from their elements at a cheap rate, the prodigious change which such a discovery would make upon the state of society must be at once evident. Mankind would be in some measure independent of cli mate and situation ; everything could be pro duced at pleasure, in every part of the earth ; and the inhabitants of the warmer regions would no longer be the exclusive possessors of comforts and conveniences to which those in less favoured re gions of the earth are strangers. Let the science advance for another century with the same rapidity that it has done during the last fifty years, and it will produce effects upon society, of which the present race can form no adequate idea. Even ' already some of these effects are beginning to de_ velope themselves ; our streets are now illuminate with gas drawn from the bowels of the earth; and the failure of the Greenland fishery, during an un fortunate season like the last, no longer fills us with dismay. What a change has been produced in the country by the introduction of steam-boats; and what a still greater improvement is at present In progress, when steam-carriages and rail-roads are gradually taking the place of horses and common roads. Distances will soon be reduced to one half of what they are at present; while the dimi nished fares and increased speed of conveyance will contribute essentially to lower the price of our manufactures, and enable us to enter into a success ful competition with other nations.—History of Chemistry. PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. BIRMINGHAM JOURNAL, July 2. MURDER AND SUICIDE.—On Saturday night last, about half past ten o'clock, the inhabitants of Bull-street, and the neighbourhood for a considerable distance round, were alarmed by the discharge of two pistols. A shriek of alarm was immediately heard in the Minories ; and a gene ral rush took place to ascertain its cause. On arriving at the spot, a young man was in the act of raising a girl from the street, while another man stood at a short distance, as if anxiously ascertaining the result of his deadly attempt. —On the night in question, a young woman named Hannah Blythe (the daughter of a porter) residing with her parents, obtained permission of her mother to go and purchase some ribbands, in Bull.street. For this purpose she left home in company with her acknowledge suitor, named Fellows, a carpenter. On proceeding up the Minories, the young wo man was accosted by a man, who inquired " is that you, Hannah ; " and on her replying in the affirmative, be imme diately fired a pistol, the contents of which lodged in the legs of her companion. Fellows and his associate darted across the street to escape, but by the time they had reached the opposite pavement, another pistol was discharged, the contents of which passed through the back part of the young woman's neck.—The poor girl lay weltering in her blood on the pavement, and on lifting her from the 'ground, she exclaimed " Moseley has done it ;" and on Fellows turning round, he perceived a young man of that name standing at a short distance. The public, alarmed by the two discharges, rushed to the spot, and supposing Fellows who was in the act of raiding the fe. male from the ground, to be the assassin, notwithstanding Ma protestations, conveyed him to die watchhouse • and Aloseley was allowed to escape. The young woman becom ing sensible, they were unable, in the absence of Fellows, to ascertain who she was, or by whom, or under what cir. cumstances the deed was committed. On examination it was found that three slugs had entered the left side of the back part of her neck, and gone completely through the opposite side. Fortunately a young girl, compa nion of Blythe's, drawn to the spot by the report that " Moseley had shot a young woman," entered the house, and identified her. On examining the street, the remnants of both pistols were found scattered, such had been the power of the charges, that the barrels as well as stocks of both pistols were blown into pieces. The police being satis fied of the innocence of Fellows, he was liberated at four o'clock the following morning, and every possible exertion made to discover the retreat of the real offender. Nothing, however, was heard of him until Monday night, when Mr. Redfern, of the Public Office, received a communication from Darlaston, stating, that a young man answering to the description of Bloreley, had been found dead (evidently shot) in that neighbourhood, and then lay at the workhouse.— Bloseley's sister, in company with a friend, immediately pro. ceeded to Darlaston,and identified the body as that of her bro. ther. Such arc the circumstances of this lamen table affair, origi nating in infatuated jealousy. For many months past Moseley had, as the girl and her friends now state, annoyed her with his addresses ; and in Sep.ember last, he caused the banns of marriage to be proclaimed at Aston Church, and purchased the wedding ring, but without her knowledge, which gave such offence to her friends that on presenting himself at the house, he was summarily ejected. There is no doubt that Alosley was devotedly attached to the vic tim of his jealousy; and driven to madness by her repeated rej,ctions, and the success of a hated rival. Blythe possesses the highest character as a virtuous and prudent young woman. Site is in the twenty.third year of her age. Cc:swami's Intaucar.—On Wednesday an inquest was held at Darleston, on view of the body of Charles Bloseley, who was found dead on the banks of the Birmingham canal. Mr. John Sheldon, bookbinder, stated that lie knew the de. ceased, with whom he had been upon the most intimate terms for 13 or 14 years. He also knew a young woman named Hannah Blythe; she resided in Lichfield -street, with her father and mother. He knew that she and the deceased were intimate, as he had seen them frequently walking together, indeed lie considered there was a sincere attachment on his part. It had been the habit of the deceased to spend his Saturday evenings at his house. On Saturday night last he came as usual at half-past eight, and left about half-past ten. On Monday morning he received a let. ter from him bearing the Elston Post-mark, in which he wished to know how Hannah Blythe was. He added he had much injured his hand, and was fearful it would be useless to him ; meaning, no doubt, the bursting of the pistol on Saturday night. For the last month the de ceased had very much changed, getting thin, and looking pale, and appeared as if something was on his mind, altho' he never divulged any cause. On Saturday night he ap. peered very low. About two months ago he showed him a ring wrapped up in paper. At the last Birmingham fair, the deceased told him that be did not now go with Hannah, and therefore he concluded there had been some differences be. tweenthem.—Wm. Lowe stated that he kept a beer shop at Cock Heath, near Darleston. The deceased came to his house a little before six o'clock on Sunday morning last. He was very wet, and appeared to have been out all night. Be drew near to the fire, and piecing his head upon his right hand, which was tied in an handkerchief, he remained in that position nearly an hour. He unbound his hand to show the landlord. During the whole of the day, Moseley occupied one scat, where he took his breakfast and dinner, occasionally replying to questions put to liim by the company. Occasionally he appeared much agitated and singular in his behaviour. About 6 o'clock he ordered tea, but before it was ready, he left the house and proceeded in the direction of Bilston, and the witness saw no more of him until the fol. lowing morning, a corpse, at the workhouse. Daniel De. well, a boatman, stated, that he found the body of the de ceased partly in the Itirmingham Canal. His head was un der water to his shoulder, with one of his arms, and his lep resting on the bank : on raising him from the water his bead appeared to be much covered with blood. Mr. Thomas Partridge, constable of Dulaston, stated that he took the body front the canal. In consequence of the re■ port of fire arms having teen heard on the previous night, ht the direction of where the body was fond, it was ruassessd that the man had been murdered. He therefore proceeded again to the spot where the deceased was found, and bola thence trued the footsteps coming in the direction of the canal, for upwards of 300 yards into a field, when he found a pair of pocket pistols. One of the pistols had been fired off' and the other was charged with ball. On the spot when three arileles were found, was a great quantity of coagulated blood. Mr. Charles Thornhill, surgeon, of Darleston, in. 'peeled the body. In the skull be round a circular hole, as if it had been drilled, and the inner table of the skull was fractured to a great extent. The wound was in an obligee direction downwards. On examining the brain, several fragments of the skull were found to have penetrated the substance to the depth of an inch, and blood to the depth of an inch and a half was found upon the brain. The wound was the cause of the deceased's death, and certainly the event was not caused by drowning, but from the loss of b100d..., The jury returned a verdict of Lunacy. FATAL AIAIL COACH ACCIDENT..4t, will be recollect. ed that a few weeks ago the horses of the mail between this town and Manchester ran away with the coach at Wolver hampton, on their arrival at the inn, and that a Fronds gentleman, in consequence of his jumping off, received very serious injury. It appears that he died on Sunday last, and on Tuesday an inquest was held before Mr. Smith, when the following particulars were elicted :—Charles Hippolyte count de Secqueville, of the kingdom of France, knew the deceased, who was formerly Commissary in the French army, but had retired from the year 1816. On the 3d of June, the deceased, accompanied by himself and another friend, were coming from Birmingham to Wolverhampton as outside passengers upon the Blanchester mail, in their way to Liverpool and Ireland, and they arrrived at the New Hotel, in Wolverhampton, about half-past seven' o'clock that morning. On their arriving at the hotel, the' coachman pulled up his horses, and then, as is usual, be tan. buckled his reins and threw them upon the backs of the wheel. horses. Immediately the horses ran away at full speed up Cock.street, round the pump, and down North-street increasing their speed down the lance street on ac' count of the descent or declivity At the time the coach began to move the coachman was in the act of citlnsiedown an n from theifil att em ptand, al to lg se hting tae th u e pt r t e n in tl e r nground,eo the horee.keepers ran after the coach and attempted to seize the reins, but could not, and the result was the horses were at full liberty. When the horses came to Craddock's. walk, a very narrow passage leading to St. Peter's Church, with a projecting wall fronting North.street, the two leaders became a little restive, and attempted to go opposite ways ; the consequence was, the near leader ran with its head against the wall, and was killed on the spot, and one of the wheel horses was also very much hurt ; the pole of the coach ran against the wall, and the coach was then stopped ; but as they were going down North.stzeet, they were apprehen sive that the coach would be drawn over some steps, and:the deceased in his alarm said he would jump off. He tried all in his power, both by words, and by holding his arm, to pre vent him. He at length did jump off and tell to the ground, and was kicked by the horses, amongst which he fell ; the further consequence was, that he received a most dreadful compound fracture on the small of Lis left leg, of which he was confined to his bed until Sunday afternoon last, the 26th ult. when he died. BIRMINGHAM Fart GRAMMAR SCHOOL BILL.—The town will be gratified to learn that the differences with the Governors of the Free Grammar School, are now in a fair way of being finally arranged. We are given to under] stand that, with the privilege of the Committee for the town, the Bill has again been introduced into the House of Lords, in its original shape, and that it will pass through all the stages in that House without alteration; but that when it reaches the Committee of the House of Commons, the carioca modifications decided upon during the last Session of Parliament, will be made, and that the Bill will then be returned to the Lords in its altered shape, for their approbation. As it may perhaps excite some sur. prise, that the Bill should be introduced into the Lords in the first instance without the alterations, it may be as well to state, that for this course there arc two reasons ; first, to avoid the heavy fees which would otherwise be payable upon the bill, as a new and not a revived Bill; and se. condly, In order that when the alterations are 'proposed to the Lords, they may come recommended with the powerful sanction of the Commons. CLOTHING Balta.—We perceive that what are called clothing banks have been established in different parts of the country. There is one at Saffron Walden, where the num. of depositors is nearly 300; and the humbler classes embrace ice promised advantages with much anxiety. The whole of the receipts, it is understood, will be laid out with the trades. rople of the town in linen, Linnet, and useful clothing.— The nobility and gentry of the town and neighbourhood, cordially join in the establishment of this insti,ution, which Is calculated to encourage habits of industry and comfort. STEAM ENGINES.—We understand that a memorial to the Commissioners under the Sireet Act is In course of signs. tore, praying that they would be plemed to enforce that clause in their Act which subjects all proprietors of steam. engines within the town to a heavy penalty who do not con. some their own smoke. The nuisance, in some parts, is certainly intolerable, and deserves, in our opinion, the im. mediate attention of the Commissioners. DEATH BY STARVATION.— Monday evening, an inquest was held at Dothlabia, on the body of a man unknown, aged about GO. The deceased was found about seven o'clock on the sante morning, quite dead, in the ditch of a field be. longing to John Tolley, Esq. of the Ford, near Droitwitr.h. He had been in the habit of begging about the country.— From the evidence of Mr. Kitsell, surgeon, Droitwich, it appeared the deceased must have been dead some time, and that hits death was caused by starvation The Jiiry returned a verdict accordingly. The iron trade in Staffordshire is very depressed. EXTENSIVE 1101111ERY.—At Bromsgrove, on Friday, (being fair-day,) a robbery to a serious amount was com mitted at the house of 3lr. Irish, Hop Pole Inn. In the bustle of the day, some villains went into a bed-chamber, where they broke open a bureau, and succeeded in carrying off Bromsgrove and Coventry bank.notes, and sovereigns, to the amount of 200 L COACH ACCIDENT.—.On Monday night, as the Emerald night-coach was .procecding towards London, when near Bleken, about seven miles from Birmingham, the hind. dicky, with the luggage, gave way, and swinging over the wheel, unfortunately overturned the coach. line gentleman had his arm broken, and two or three passengers, with the guard and coachman, were slightly bruised. Upon the in. formation arriving at the Nelson Hotel, Mr. Radenhurst, the Proprietor, immediately took horse, and, accompanied by two medical gentlemen, rode off to the scene of accident, and spared no exertion or expense in rendering every assistance to the sufferers. Another coach immediately proceeded with the passengers, with the exception of the gentleman and a woman. _ _ THE NEW BEER TRADE—The persons engaged in the new beer trade held a meeting on Friday, to petition par liament to grant them the same protection as the licensed victualler, in allowing them the valve hours of keeping their houses open. it was stated that the number eng aged in this trade amounted to 30,000. A petition was agrto. SENTENCES OF THE PRISONERS AT TIM WARWICK. MULE SESSIONS. Fourteen Years—Wm.

He regretted this the mere, as although the present sessions were a fortnight earlier than formerly, yet the number of cases was the same. No. only was there an evident increase of crime in this county, but a corresponding increase was ob servable throughout the whole kingdom. On reference to the Parliamentary returns for the last seven years, 115.000 prisoners had been tried for felony ; of whom 80000 had been convicted. Nearly one-third, therefore, had, by an acquittal, no bill, or no prosecution, been again set at liberty in the world. It was impossible, in his opinion, that 35,000 persons could pass through a prison without some degree of contamination. What the Legislature would do in this respect, he could not tell ; but an amendment of the law. was highly necessary. Two or three years ago the counties of Warwick, Worcester, and Stafford, unanimously peti tioned for an alteration of the law as it regarded the vial and punishment of juvenile offenders. In consequence of this petition Parliament appointed a committee; which com mittee, after a laborious investigation, advised a more sum. wary mode of proceeding. Notwithstanding this recom mendation, nothing as yet had been done, and the report to which he alluded now remained a dead letter among the records of Parliament. He again repeated, what the new or any future Parliament would do, he knew not ; but unless some prompt measures were speedily adopted, crime he feared would go on increasing from year to year, in a most alarm ing degree. WORCLJTELSMIRE Stsstows.—These Sessions com menced on Monday, before Sir C. Smith, Bart. Chairman, and a full bench of Magistrates.—The Magistrates resolved that the New County Courts shall be built upon the land belonging to the county, adjoining the County Gaol. By this arrangement, not only will the cost of a site, amounting to 5,0001. be saved, hut other expenses will be avoided, in eluding that for conveying prisoners from the Gaol for trial Lodgings for the Judges will be attached.

MORAL CHARACTER OF THE FRIENDS.--1 ; is said Judge Mellen, in his charge to the Grand Jury, the opening of the present term of the Court at Porthr.l.

NIMMAN joiwza !—Leeds Intelliyeneer. At a parish in Devonshire, last week, a m on;a4 brought her son to be christened, and on the Minister ir.. quiring what was to be name of the child, she replird Act . ' The Minister doubting the accuracy of so novel a name, st4l inquiring why she had chosen one so lar, she said, tts! her husband and self were religious folks, that haring christened their four other boys by the names of the Ent gelists, it was their intuition to pay the same complimer to the Apostles, and they had thtreiore comnic:.:4.ll sib the Acts. During the severe toilet discipline exercisoj upon the Royal Horse Guards Blue, the trumpeters wen I exempted from dyeing their mustachios, on the plea that the lime employed in the preparations burnt their lips, and interfered with the use of their instrument—Court Journal. [The lips of the remainder of the regiment, in furtherance of this despicable foppery, were of course to be burnt an:. impunity.] A BELDAM.—PIot, in his History of Stafford- i shire, says, " How old Mary Ceoper was. of Kill's Brotw ley in this country, not long since dead, I t ,uld not certainly learn, but she must be a very Wei woman, for she lived tcK a Beldam ; that is, to sec the sixth generation, and said say, as 1 have heard reported of another, viz. Rise up. daughter, and go to thy daughter, for thy da'ughter's dealt ter hath got a daughter.' " The other case to which die his. torian alludes, is that of a matron connected with a tobl: family of Norms, on whom Zulnger made the distich which Plot has translated—" Materait nate, dic nate blia, tat= ut moneat, nate plangere filiolans." IMPORTANCE OF TOE FAN..—AB for the fat. its powers are nowhere seen displayed to such advantage Si on the Pude,. I believe I shall never be able to look at a fan in the hands of any other than a Spanish woman, co. tainly no other woman understands the management of it. In her hand it is never one moment at rest,—she throws it open, tans herself, furls it to the right, opens it again, again fans herself, and furls it to the kit, and all with thee, fingers of one hand. This is absolutely marvellcus one who has been accustomed to see a fan opened with both hands, and furled only on one side. But, that I may at once exhaust the subject of fans, let me add, that in the hands of its true mistress, the fan becomes a substi tute for language, and an interpreter of etiquette. If a lady perceives that she is an object of attention to some inquiss tiveand admiring caballero, she has an immediate recourse to her tan, that she may convey to him one most important piece of information. If she be married, she fans hersei slowly ; if still senorita, rapidly. The caballero, therefore. at once ascertains his chances and his risks. This fact I ascertained from a Spanish lady of rank in 11Iadrid, the wife of a gentleman in a high official situation. The motion et the fan, too, marks distinctly, and with the utmost ricay, the degree of intimacy that subsists between one lady and , another. The shake of the fan is the universal acknowledg• meat of acquaintance ; and, according as the lad is open o: shut, the intimacy is great or small.—)nglies Spain inllte. HUNGRY MIDDILS.—There is no class of per sons in his Majesty's naval service who have such mvenos appetites as the younger class of middies; indeed, their plates and platters leave the berth, generally, as clean u they were before the dinner entered. What may be the cause of this voracity it is needless to inquire— the fact of their prodigious appetites is universal. Ana it will easily be imagined that, in such a community, the Esquimau: maxim of first conic, first served, would sometimes introduce itself into ie practice e: those polished young gentlemen. One day, after keep. ing the forenoon watch, 1 went down at hilf-past twelve to dinner, but found nothing left on the board but a morsel of the ship's beef, which we generally called salt junk, and sometimes believed to be salt horse, resembling very much a piece of mahogany, and often quite as sapless. To this was added a very small portion of suet pudding, called, in our lingo, dough, or duff, and differing but little inaspect and weight from good honest pipe-clay. It has been very properly observed of a young midshipman, that "although GOD may turn his heart, the devil cannot turn his stomach ;" and, certainly, upon this occasion, I made co objection to the victuals set before me—except as to the quantity. In five minutes, the dish and the plate had re. wined to their habitual state of purity, which would have rendered the office of scullion a complete sinecure, had we n honoured with such an attendant--Captain Hags Fragments. A coin of a fi ve-franc piece, with the stamp of Henry the Fifth, has been exhibited in the City this morning; and it is said that 50,000 of them are in preparation.
