About five and twenty years ago the following apologue appeared in our paper; and the present seems no inopportune moment fur its re-insertion. When the lifeless remains of the wild Reformist are brought forth from their obscurity, we may with some propriety evoke the sober spirit by which his • extravagance was encountered. We trust we shall be pardoned fur observing, that what we are about -to re-insert was, soon after its appearance, known to have come from toe pen of Baron Smith—a-state .rnent which we would not make, if we thought this effusion of 'his youth calculated to detract from the reputation of his manner age. But such is not our opinion; anti we are moreover pleased at discovering in this sportive production„ one of the many proofs which tt: , • to bi• found, that the friend of coustitu. tionul fr;:csl, - il not only may be, but is most likely .to be, the strong advocate of subordination and of .social order : ittGIITS W A rA tiLE ; Intended as a companion to Paine a Fable, of the" Rights of Mau."

't HE NAtiosAi. ItEciS;TIM. A YOUNG BRIDE BURNT WITH lILR urrnoTtiro s a N Frciu a Bombay Paper veral months ago, in the vicinity of Chanlennagere, a feniale victim was immolated on the funeral pile, under circumstances peculiarly affecting. She was a young woman who had been recently betrothed to a . outig man of the same town. Every thing was prepared fir the celebration Of the nuptials, which laid been fixed for the next day ; the relatives of both parties had arrived front a distance to honour the marriage with their prLsenee : and the circle of their friends already enjoyed in anticipation the festivities which the approaching day would usher in. The preceding evening, however, the bride groom wns taken ill of the cholera worlotc, and in a tew hours was a hfelem corpse. Intimnation being then conveyed of the melancholy event to the bride, she instantly declared her determination to ascend the funeral pile of her betrothed l o rd.—A long debate was hence held bet wetn the relations of the bride and the Priests .respecting the le g ality of tae act ; the result of which was, that in such cases the shastures considering the bride is Windt° her husband by the vow she has taken. permitted a voluntary immolation on the funeral pile. The nest day, therefore, instead of the musk and joy which had been aaCcipated, the bride was led to the banks of the Ganges, amid the silent grief of her friends and relatives, raid burnt whit the dead body of ber intended husband. A SAVING or COALS.—Take tip: ashes and small cinders Mich fall from the fire, and saturate or fill them very well with water, till they arc like the mortar used by bricklayers ;—that being done, put them on the back parr of your fire ; when those who have not made the experiment, will be surprised to find what a pleasant fire they make in conjunction with coal, and will answer any common purpose. On Wednesday Thomas &Wench! and James Lister, blanket weavers, of Heckmundwile, were convicted at a Justice Meeting, held at Dewsbury, • of an illegal combination to raise the price of wages, and were committeAl to York Castle, for the term of three months. - As these persons new members of the Clothiers' Union, it was thought adviscable to have military assistance at hand, to prevent a rescue, and a detachment of infantry and cavalry was marched from Leeds on Wednesday morning, to Shaw Cross, within - abont a mile of Dewsbury.— After remaining there several hours, and finding no demand for their services, they were marched bark again. In the evening the prisoners were sent to yorL, by the coach, attended by a single police officer, and although several thousand persons were collected together; and accompanied the conch with music, in a kind of triumphal procession. no was thrown in the way to impede their inter departure; mid the civil power was proved to be perfectly adequate to the execution of its own pro cesses without the aid of the military. :Extract of a letter dated Paris, Jan. 15.—" The great insurance company, established in this city at the close of the war, on a scale calculated or intended to engross the business of the whole world, and which began its operations by sharing a dividend of ten per cent. among its proprietors, is at its last gasp. A cell:saltation of the directors was held last night, to , eonsiderthe propriety of discontinuing it alto gether. They came to a resolution, however, of making a previous effort to maintain the establish ment, by entering into a negotiation with the second company,•in order to put a stop, if possible, to the system of competition that has hitherto subsisted between them, and by which both have been mate rially injured." •It is stated, that advice was received at •Kensing ton Palace on Sunday, announcing that his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent's illne , s had assumed most alarming symptoms. It is said to be an in flammation on the chest. On Monday morning Sir David Dundas set oil express to Sidinouth, w attend on his Royal Highness.

It the of the committee during the last year, and stated 2535 bibles and testaments to have been distributed, The report further stated, that many persons were still withont the word Of (god, and that the association was in great W ant of active co-operators. William Blair, I, q. in moving that the Report be leceived, adopted, and printed, expatiated on the flourishing state of the British and Foreco Bi ble Society, which annually cypctulcd, in the distri bution of the Scriptures, upwards of ninety tiar.!. sand pounds The bible and tc , t.ntent was now printing or distributing, in various parts of the globe 'in 1:27 different languages and dialects. Athens, the city in which the Apostle Patti once Treadle& was also the seat of a bible society, he (Mr. B ) having lately received a letter to that effect front the Rev. Dr. Pinkerton. Mr. Blair concluded au able speech, by moving that the report be printe;'. The Rev. Mr. Morley seconded the motion, and adverted to the attempts made by infidels to bring the bible into disrepute. The Rev. Dr. Waugh moved the thanks of the meeting to the Right Hon. Charles Grant. Presi. dent of the society, and in an energetic speech, im_ plored the active assistance anti co-operation of his hearers. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, on which he returned thanks, and the meeting broki up. A liberal collection was made at the doors. . . A publie meeting, numemusly and respectably attended, was held-in the Town-hall in Chester, on Monday, fhr the purpose of taking into-consideration tke best mode of relieving the distresses of that city at this inclement season. Among those present were the Right Hon. Earl Grosvenor, Lord Vis count Belgrave, M. P. 4-lon. E: Massy, Dr. Thatlee eray, G. B. Granville, Esq. &c. The Worshipful the Mayor took the chair stun after twelve o'clock, and opened the meeting in a short speech. Several resolutions were then moved by the Right lion. •Earl Grosvenor, anti recended by I.ord Viscount Belgrave. A subscription was immediately entered ittsu ; and upwards of 4001. were raised in a few minutes Owing to tlie , inipetuosity of the title, when going down on Satire-day afternoon, between three and thur o'clock, and the • nense masses or ice which it I curried with it, a great many ships were driven from their moorings off the Tower, eome.of which i parted their chain cables, and were driven against each other with great violence, consequently consi derable damage was done: some lost their bowsprits, and were otherwise injured in their hulls and rig ging. On Monday, two brigs and a schtxn were carried against London Bridge, by 'the tide running upwards, when the mast of one of them was carried away, owingto the impetcosity of the current. Numerous other ships hail their bowsprits, yards. Sic_ carried away. The •i2ustotn house and Tower Wherfs are crortied with cables attached to anchors, which arc buried in the around, to prevent the vessels tithing over on the-ebb tide. Between the tender off the Tower • and the vessels in shore, is fixed a cable, with a sliding stage, by which persons are conveyed on board, date. - ling in the air, 'to the great amusement of Cue numerous spectators on shore. Upwards ni.' a ahousana pounds base been sub scribed fhr the relict' of the poor of Liverpool, which. is applied to soup-shops. A lilieral subscription is going on nt Cirencester, which already amounts to 4001., to be applied to the employment of those whom the severity of the season has thrown out of work ; and also towards a supply of fuel and other necessaries. This sub scription being added to a former one, will constitute a fired of .',OOl. and upwards, applicable to tl,; above laudable purposes. " The Liverpool Aavertiser" says—We arc extremely happy to state, that the shops which were established in this town severe] years ago, for supplying the poor with soup during the winter months, and which at several periods of privation and 'distress, have been the means of atlinating the poor a cheap anti nutritious soup, have been re-opened. During the last week above 22,000 lquarts of barley soup have been sold at a ha penny the quart ; and so great has been the demand that it coati( with difficulty be surplicd.
