' TALES OP THE nFrniuroxs. TVS lIMICEXDIAIIT. It would bass been observed that the last. No vember presented many fine days ; it will be also recollected that the same month produced foggy' evenings and dark nights. The (dock of the village church had tolled the hour of night, %%hen Frederick Morely, fatigued in body, hartassed in mind, and disheartened with his bad success—for he had traversed the whole neigh-, bourhood, and found no work--was sauntering sadly and slowly towards his mother's cottage. As he passed the Blue Boar, he was hailed by a fellow labourer. and called in to see something of importance. He felt no curiosity, but on the call being repeated, he entered the public-house. He found the tap .room, which was tolerably capacious, filled with labourers from all the neighbouring farms, the greater number being men out of work, and among the rest, those who had been that morn ing dismissed with himself. A man in a white hat—no other than Mark Swing, Ng. was treating the with jorums of double X. Fred \tnrely was forced to sit down and join them : the kader said he would sing a song—lie did so : it was to one of those tunes which find witnesses of their vulgar popularity in every band and barrel-organ in the streets of London. I'd be a minister, born la a nation Where taxes, and pensions. and subsidies meet, Grasping and griping without inoderation, All the good gifts that are pretty and sweet.. I'd nes , . r sigh for reform of an evil— What would reform do but lessen my pay I'd let the labourers go to the devil, I'd send the farmers to show them the way. I'd be a Minister, I'd be a Minister, Dining with kings on a sunshiny day. 'llia stanza, which was intended to excite a sort f discontented feeling, was followed by another, wore calculated to raise a laugh. I'd never go to the city to dinner. I'd not be pelted for sake of the Mayor. What, it my own turde soup should be thinner. Roast beef and safety are very good fare. • I'd make my men dear the ditih - of the Town ; I'd fill its stores with provisions and shot;— I'd have the soldiers, and show 'em my power; I'd send the whole opposition to pot. I'd be a minister, I'd be a minister, _ _ _ Carrying measures through boroughs that rot ! ! I This song was duly applauded by the whole patty, and the last lines sung in chorus. More ale teas brought, and the .en drank the singer's health. The latter rose to return the compliment. " And now," said he, " I'll tell ye what I wouldn't be—l wouldn't be a poor devil of a labourer, able and willing to work, and then not paid for it—l wouldn't put up with nine shillings a week to keep a wife and family—l wouldn't starve—l would'nt stand no Jenny-darbies—l wouldn't pay no tithe. —I wouldn't let no master of mine have a thresh ing machine —no, blow me if I would, not for no man—l'd put an end to it at once, that's what I'd do." "So we pill ! so we will I " was the cry ; " we'll put an end it I" " That's right, my friends,' vociferated the-leader, " and listen to me. Look here, I've got a go od sturdy band of two hundred brave fellows like yourselves, and they'll be here in• an hour; and we'll all go in a body and break old Farmer Smith's threshing ma chine, and then we'll burn the parson's hay-rick, and I warrant we'll get plenty of work to-morrow. So, come cheer.up, my hearties, and in the mean while we'll take another jorum. Here, landlord, bring us more ale." More ale was brought; and the party continued drinking till near midnight, when the two hundred " brave fellows " came up, and the whole body left the Blue Boar ; and, headed by Mark Swing, marched off for farmer Smith's barn. Frederick Morely had, for a few moments, hesi tated whether to accompany them or not; for though the ale and songs had affected him, as well as the rest, yet they had not deprived him entirely of the right use of his reason. When, however, he recollected that Farmer Smith's threshing ma chine was the very one that had deprived him of his labour—and that the bay-rick, which they had threatened to consume, belonged to the avaricious rector who had taken his old mother's sow--a feel ing of retaliation, natural to man, rankled in his bosom, and caused him to decide on joining the gang of rioters. Swearing against every one in authority, tithes, machinery, and the currency-bill, the baud reached the farm of Mr. Smith. Here they alarmed all the fetidly, destroyed his threshing-machine, set fire to two hay-ricks, and a considerable quantity of corn. After this, they marched off for the Parsonage. Here they were guilty cf the same depredations; and on their way to the next town, cried—" No starvation—no two-pence a day— cheap bread—no machinery—no tithes !" &c. when they were met by a body of special constables, and some few retreated. The rest, however, kept close, and were suffered to pass on unmolested. But the constables thought proper to pursue the fugitives, and succeeded in taking five or six : amongst this number, was Frederick Merely. To mothers who have watched over their chil dren with all the tenderness of parental anxiety— v. have seen them grow like summer flowers ',hinted in a fertile soil, from the fragile buds of infancy to the fairer blossoms of youth—and, final y, to the maturer fruits of manhood—who have been left in a cold and heartless world, with no other ties to bind them to society—no other joys w gladden a widowed heart—no other comforts to soothe a wounded spirit —who have borne the brunt of the world's scorn for them, and are now in their turn looking for their child's cherishing to gild their last sky with some bright rays of happiness, and dispel the clouds of sorrow from their sun before it shall have sought it west—to such mothers we leave the conception of Dame Morley's grief, when her mind was filled with (lark and vague doubts concerning the fate of all she most loved. And to other younger beings—to the beautiful, who are born in a world where they must link heart and hand with the base—to those who have loved mon, with a deep and absorbing love, that carries madness to the brain, and delirium to the heart—that builds a temple there, and wakes a flame that must be kept alive by the sacrifice of better things—by the outpourings of affection— the reliance of hope—and the bright confidence of fervor, truth, and trust; in a word, to those who would part from all happiness, and yield every good, and forsake every tie, for the one dear ob ject which their hearts have cherished..-we l eave it to imagine the weight of pain that oppressed the lone PEGG T in her usoertninty ; and we call on, them to admire the meek sweetness of her gentle' spirit, es she smothered her owe grief, with an effort that must have cost her agony, to calm the 'fears and quiet the apprehension of the Bpi mother of him she loved ! The day had arrived when Frederick Merely and five other incendiaries were to take their trial for breaking the threshing machine, and burning the hay and corn of Farmer Smith, and the village vicar. The cue was one of deep interest • and accordingly, at an e a r ly h our , th e Cou rt was , crowded to excess. Among the most interesting of the spectators, were Dame Merely and the daugh ter of the old soldier ; they came habited in black, and both seemed labouring under the deepest agita tion and affliction. But when the prisoners Caine forward, and in answer to the charge brought against them, pronounced in a clear and deter mined voice —" Not guilty ;"—a faint ray of hope seemed to break in upon their hearts, and they became more composed. All the prisoners had followed the advice of their counsel in denying their guilt; but as the trial proceeded. the evidence against them was so strong, and the proofs so un deniable, that their plea proved useless to all but two, who were convicted of breaking the machi nerp, but not of burning the corn. The evidence against Merely was the last brought forward • but, like the rest, it was positive ; and each suc ceeding deposition, though It was spoken calmly by the wit ness, was like the shock of an earthquake to hie poor mother and his gentle bride, and fell " Loud epos their listening hearts, Tho' low upon their nn." At length, when the evidence had closed, with the dreadful proof that Frederick Merely was an incendiary, and the stillness of the Court was without interruption, save by the occasional break ing forth of a sigh or sob, which his old mother had not the power to restrain, the Counsel for the prisoners stepped forth, and ventured to say atm words in their behalf. They were bootless. The jury, a ithout retiring, pronounced the sentence of " Guilty!" against all the prisoners, of breaking the machinery, and against Frederick Merely and three others of burning the produce. The Judge laid his hand upon the black cap, and sentence of death was pronounced against Merely. We will pass over what followed :—Frederick Merely, in two days afterwards, had given a parting kiss to a pale and pining girl, whose form seemed already to be wan and wasting, and whose form vied with the young roses he had so often aided her to rear. He has gone now on a long journey. Nos. 2 and 3of the Rose Cottages are to let. But poor Peggy, who is now in the village workhouse, has not forgotten their old inhabitants. She goes every evening at sunset to the lone church-yard, and weeps bitterly over the graves of Richard and her mother. The day is not far distant when she will join them in their peaceful home.—Bayley. answincssEnewwww PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. BRIGHTON HERALD. 4feig. 20.

The Horticultural Society's dinner and show of fruit took plea on Thursday, at the Old Ship, which was mush fre quented by company to witness the tempting exhibition. The display of fruit we think has been equalled, if not ex celled, on former occasions, but the flowers were far more beautiful than we recollect having previously seen. The dahlias, for site and richness of tints, were surpassingly fine. DI Ulnas a?

COLCHESTER GAZETTE, August 20. Our attention has beat directed to a letter which appeared In the Cassini* Chreniel.., addressed to the " Farmers of =4," purporting to be a statement of the laconic' and eat of the elerrry. This letter undertakes to prove that all which liu ban advanced against the enormous wealth of a limited portion of the clergy—against plutalla non.residenee—and against tithes, la founded in falsehoo d, and that any attempt to alter or modify the present disposi. dos of church or government will companies the safety of the eitabliabid religion. We find the statement of our member, Mr. •D. W. Harvey, regarding the revenues of the clan, strenalaisli Impugned. We, however, do not feel front the reasoning of the writer, to adopt his in preference. We care nothing whether the church pro. petty be of live millions or tea millions annual value; we know it is improperly divided, and there is not a county in the Kingdom of England but what can furnish evidence of the fact. The writer of the letter, In his hurry to justify the existence of the present system, refers, among other plans, to the clergy of CoWiester. In illustration of his argument respecting the moderato payment of the clergy, be brings forward a number of calculations of the rector's average income in several towns in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Stu As a proof of the aeostraey of his caleulatious, we repeat what he has advanced respecting Colchester. He states that out of the sixteen parishes of Colchester, from Parliamentary documents compiled some years since, ten of them furnish an income to the rector of less than 1501. an nually, and that only one parish yields an income of 5001. annually. This writer also gives the population at 8 000, and the uphot of his statement is, that Colchester pays only 8141. to sixteen rectors, whose average incomes, includ ing all kinds of fees, de. is not more than 1501. It le with such trash as this, that the " friends of the church" contrive to give its interests the deadliest blow.

OTION Or • TRUSTEE Or THE HAIPOS CMG EITT, Ihenvoari.--Wednesday being appo inted for the election of a Trustee in th e room o f M r . who had resigned, the town during the morning was in no small fen ment with the opposing parties. The contest lay between Captain Leech and Mr. N. W. Small. The numbers at the dose of the ballot were as follows :—Small, '245 Leech, 214. On Saturday se'nnight a public breakfast took place at Stand well's Hotel, in Stamford, for the purpose of present. lug to Col. Chaplin, late M.P. for the town, the plate for which a subscription had been made by his Meads, in tes timony of respect for his private character, and for his public conduct whilst he eat in I's:Bement. Several farmers in this neighbourhood have already eom. pktsd their wheat harvest, and should the weather continue favourable the white grain will in all probability be wholly secured in a few days. It is a remarkable fact that the de mand for hands greatly exceeds the supply. The millers complain of the bad quality of the new wheat. The owner o f o n e o f t h e largest mills in Hertford shire states, that out of twelve or fourteen samples shown him at hoystou on Wednesday, there was not one he could call a 6ne tee. Last week, two young men drinking together at th. George public-house, in the village of Spaldwick, near Huntingdon, fell into a conversation as to " who could drink most without being intoxicated." One of them said to the other, " I will call for balf.a.aown's worth of gin ; if you an finish the liquor, I will pay for it—if not, you shall." The other, w h oa name was bland, ac. espied the challenge, drank until ho fell from the chair, was carried home, and soon after died.

The electric fluid struck the vill a g e chu rch, dislodging the weathercock from the top of the spire, which was also much injured. It then descended by the wire of the dock which strikes the hour upon the bell, taking with it a piece of oak timber attached to the bottom of the clock, and shivering it to atoms. It then passed over the single loft and escaped at the north window, which wu at that time open. The injury which the spire has sustained is very considerable. A rent has been made in it which admits the light from the summit to within about 4 yards of the base on the east side, several large stones having been dislodged.

He Minos , brought forward one which sprain to peewee power surpassing the former in as great a ratio as did the anchor made on the old plan. The im provement of bk. Perring's new Invention consists in dia. posing the iron to greater advantage, by which the whole body of the material, when riding the ship, is brought into full action. The component parts of he formatters are not altered from those of the former anchor, but the ex , tenor dimensions are so much Increased in the line of re sistance as to give a frigate's anchor the appearance of that of a first-rate.

Tetraure ' Aero. 14.—Mr. Fogarty, of Cahn Castl e , highly respec table country gentleman, had a demand made on him for tithes due to the Rev. Doctor Cotton, son-in-l aw to the Archbishop of Cube!. The amount claimed was itonething about twenty pounds, and the demand was made but a few days sines. Mr. Fogarty refused to pay the sera, and the consequence was, that the drivers of his reverence were sent to put Mr. Fogarty's cattle in pound. They did so without any opposition, but the story immediately ra n through the county that Mr. Fogarty, who could pay thou. sands many otheroccasion, would not pay tithes, and Mathis cattle were to be sold by auction for the amount. The day of sole arrived, which was last Thurady. A large polic e force was assembled to preside over the ceremony, but no sale took place, and the cattle were at home to Mr. Fogarty. The demonstration amongst the people was truly awful—and had the sale gone on, or the cattle be en brought away from the pound, the result might indeed have been terrific. The object of Mr. Fogarty was to try a legal right. Those tithes, I understand, are claimed where there is a union of paddles, in one of which there is no Protestant Church, or a single Prote. stout resident. THE MURDER AT BRIGHTON- CONFESSIOX OF THE MURDERER. Since the removal of Holloway to the gaol at Horsham, he has repeatedly expressed a wish to speak in private with the Rev. Mr. Everard, of Brighton. Accordingly. on Stour. day last that gentleman visited him in prison, and Holloway immediately proposed to make a confession to him —saying he was anxious to tell the whole and unburden his mind, u another person (the woman Kinnaird) was in custody fur the ofence, which he alone had committed. The Rev. Gentleman said as he was not a Magistrate, It would be impr..per. for him to receive a confession, but he would send for a Magistrate if Holloway wished hint to do so. Holloway assented, and Sir John Shdley, Mr. T. Shelley, awl Mr. Cumerrall, who were then holding a Petty Sessions at the Town-hall, repair.d to the gaol as soon as they had concluded the business they had in hand. The prisoner having been brought before them, they told him who they were, and asked him what he wanted with them P—He replied he wished to make a voluntary conks. slop of the horrid crime he had committed. Ihe magistrates said they felt it to be their duty to caution him against saying what might prejudice him oo his trial, because any cession made to them would be taken down in writing. and produced on his trial as eel. deuce against him, if the judge should think proper to ad. mit it; therefore he Lad better ceders before be made sty statement whatever. Holloway, without pausing, said he did not we about that, for he had determined to tell all about it, as he va, the guilty person. The clerk then took down in writing from the lips of the murderer, a narrative that was truly horrifying, and tr.e oily mow who did not shudder as it proceeded, was Holloway himself. The following is the roluntery eonfeision oldie murderer. The Magistrates purposely avoided putting a single queens. to him, but allowed him to pressed ha his °sues, without filigree ption He stat 4 "hat ite became acqualeted wit% the deceased about eight pan ago; he was then between Wand 2lityears of age.

Hie funtiture being goer, be went to sea, and he afterwards formed an acquaintsoce with Kinnard, sad find with her as his wife. At that time he WWII very young man, and if his wife's Giends had behaved kindly tobLn sod had given hint good advica i bishould bi ro goo' bilk to live with his wife, and left g but they persecuted his, and weft to the Overseer' and egistrmee t to induce them to make hint pay his wife a weekly sum for her maitre. imam.
