The mite rials for this undertaking are rich, carious, and fraught with an absorbing historical and political interest; and they have, in the present instance, been treated by a writer whose acknowledged success in a previous work of a somewhat similar character—The Life of Henry the Eighth—is a sufficient guarantee as to the morle in which the present task will be executed. " THE FERGusoNs."—The following para graph, from the John Bull, may ho considered to clear up the doubts that have existed relative to the authorship of this clever novel :—" We have read with much pleasure, a novel, called The Ferqusons, written in a most agree able style, developing its incidents most naturally and affectingly. It is, we believe, the production of one of LORD NORMANBY'S 13rothers, , ,and partakes in no small degree of the taste and spirit of that successful noble author." MR. BURKE'S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE FOlt 1639.—The publication of this valuable volume is at length announced for the 10th of May. Its earlier ap pearance was found impossible, in consequence of the time required for making the various important additions—the result of great research into numerous private genealogical documents and public archives, and of communications with all the principal noble families throughout the coun try ; and which will doubtless render it by far the most complete work of the kind ever yet offered to the public. This, we think, will be apparent by a perusal of the fol lowing table of contents, which has been handed to us:- 1. The Peers and Baronets of England, Scotland, and Ireland, alphabetically arranged, with thei r p e di grees, armorial bearings, &c. &c., coming down to the present moment. This department of the work has now been so far enlarged as to embrace the whole collateral connexions of the Peerage and Baronetage. 2. Spiritual Lords. 3. Foreign Noblemen, being native-born subjects of the British Crown. 4. Peerages claimed. 5. Garter's Roll. 6. Peers, in order of Precedence. 7. Baronets, in order of Prccodettee.

We arc greatly mistaken in the character of the females of Paisley, it many of them will risk their reputation for good sense and becoming modesty, by attending such a meeting. Every woman who has a proper respect for that decorum so valuable and so crilLmental in the female character, will, we are confident, not allow themselves to be seen within two or three hundred yards cf the Church, lest it should be thou g ht they were going to attend the lecture on Charter isn).-- Paisley Advertiser.

GRAND HOTEL PIAZZA, COVENT-GARDEN. Bed and Breakfast, One Guinea per Week. CHRISTCHURCH CPIURCH- RATES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sra,—ln your evening edition of Wednesday last a paragraph appeared, stating that Mr. Hawes, the Churchwarden of Christchurch, had cited one parish ioner, and was about to cite others, into, the Ecclesiasti cal Courts, among whom was Mr. Apsley Pellatt. In your Friday evening's edition, a letter sinned by Mr. Hawes 's brother appeared, affirming that the former pa ragraph was calculated to give an erroneous impression, as the action is strictly a friendly one, and that Mr. Pellatt had been selected at his ox n request. Without taking other evidence than this of the Churchwarden's brother, here is an admission on his part that he had concurred in the selection of Mr. Pel latt by the parishioners, some of whom Mr. Hawes had determined to victimize in the Ecclesiastical Courts ; but unfortunately for this assertion, instead of citing Mr. Pellatt he had cited Mr. Webb, and that gentleman had already paid the rate and the costs of that Court, by a misnomer called the Court Christian. This fact shows the manner in which Mr. Hawes ful filled his part of the friendly suit—a friendly suit so far as Mr. Pellatt is concerned, in the same sense that a man being about to be robbed with poorer companions begs of the gentlemen-robbers that they will be content with fleecing him. Mr. William Hawes must surely bo a youngcr bro ther of the worthy Churchwarden, when he men tions the fact that his brother is a Dissenter in proof of his objection to Church -rates, a Dissenter, and at the same time a Churchwarden, making a rate He knows that a Dissenter cannot be compelled to servo the office, and yet here is this consistent Dissenter; hold ing it to be his duty to ask for a rate, and to en force it. He dissents from a Stat Church for conscience sake, and yet casts his brethren into •the lion's den be cause they will not rear the shrine at which he himself professes he holds it to be wrong to worship. Why this is worse than the now notorious recreant recanter on the bench, the Maze-pondjultra-Resolutionist. Will the worthy Dissenting Churchwarden tell us how he reconciles his conduct with any part of that Scripture Volume which has induced him to dissent from a State Church, yet give voluntary conformity, and the breach of his promise, when he bad got the power to use the boot, and put it on more sufferers than one. Why was Mr. Webb selected, when he had agreed to cast Mr. Pellatt into the furnace? What a mise rable state must Mr. Churchwarden Hawes, who takes credit for being a sincere Dissenter, be in, to have to bind his brethren for what //e must believe to be the unholy sacrifice ! Here we have a sincere Dissenter, not only binding his brethren, but lighting the fires of persecution in his own name, and then writing a letter by his brother to a public Journalist to say he is in the position of a man who has said one t hi ng an d dale an e o r t , h a e i r , d t o li f en on e e mpl h ; ) ' s a relative professes to v onein‘dvicay and acts ano ther, him. He will not deny that he has cited Mr. Webb, though he declares the action is a friendly one against M r . P e ll att . H e knows well that the object of Mr. Pellatt and his friends is not to try whether or not there - is such a pariJi as Christchurch, but whether the Episcopal sect ought to compel Dissenters to build up altars at which they cannot worship ; and he seeks to cover his volun tary instrumentality under the plea of official duty, that office being one which he was not com p elled a s a Dis senter to accept. There are some o ld- fashioned Dis senters who think there is no re l i g i ous duty inconsistent with Christianity, and that this plea of official duty is one of the convenient b linds which those who have no just grounds for their conduct set up to keep off self reproach. It is one of the evils which a Church established by law creates, that it establishes rest for a man's con science. which prevents his mind from tracing his duties to their source. As vulgar robbers disguise their enor mities from themselves by slang, so do these conventional phrases hide from the unthinking the error of their doings, and enable the designing and artful to disguise their inconsistencies. A DISSENTER, BUT NOT A CHURCHWARDEN. April 22, 1839. SIR —In your paper of the 19th instant there is a let er from Mr, W. Hawes, relative to the Church-rate in his parish, written fur the purpose of correcting what !e considers an erroneous statement previously pub -Ist:ed. He states that at every step the Churchwarden sub mitted his proceedings to the Committee for opposing Church-rates. Will Mr. Hawes answer the following queries :—Did he submit his obtaining about 400 ma gisterial summonses for non-payment of minister and Church-rates against parties, the greater part of whom were the poorer rate-payers of this parish ? Did he consult them relative to the citation of Mr. Webb, thus subjecting him to the expense of upwards of 61., after a promise made that if be cited any Mr. Pellatt should be selected ? Does Mr. Ilawes think it generous, open, or candid in his broth i r, by threats, magisterial summonses and orders, to extract from the timid a rate, the legality of which was disputed ? Would it not have been a more manly and straight-forward course if he had previously taken Mr. Pcllatt, who Mr. W. Hawes states was willing to meet the question ? Had he thus proceeded, and the decision been unfavourable to Mr. Pellatt, the rate would have no doubt been paid without further oppcsition, but the Churelmtardens would not then have had the gratitica- tion of havinc , extracted from the pockets of the poor the amount of about `t 0/. in fees to the Vestry Clerk, who by this disreputable mode is paid for his services. Mr. W. Hawes informs us his brother is a Dissenter. This I regret, for I am at a loss to reconcile a Dissen ter's taking the oath required to be taken by Church wardens with any principle of truth, honour, or even of common honesty. I consider it a dereliction of moral principle, and contrary to the divine precepts of the New Testament. His opinions, it appears, are un altered. Not so his conduct, nor that of Mr.W. Hawes, as the inhabitants of this parish can testify. In 1837 we find these gentlemen strenuously opposing Church rates, and influencing those in their employment. The opponents of the rate were then successful, but in 1838 we witnessed no such exertions, although the firm of 8., T., and W. Hawes voted against Church-rates. If the polls of 1837 and 1838 are compared, the poll of the latter year will be found to be dela:lent of many names of persons in their employ, which are recorded in the former, and it has been confidently asserted that in 1838 they were discouraged by their employers from recording their votes. Mr. W. Hawes may be able satisfactorily to account for his brother's protecting the collector in his petty frauds on the inhabitants of this parish in the collecting of the minister's rate, which circumstance, when men tioned in vestry, in the presence of Mr. Thomas Hawes by me, was made the subject of laughter. The opinions of Drs. Addams and Phillimore may prove to Mr. Hawcs's satisthetion the legality of the rate ; hut I believe the opponents of Church-rates in this parish are not of that opinion. I apprehend that what ho calls a dispute on the ordinary grounds of compulsory payments to the Church would not be re ferred to the Ecclesiastical Court. I think any party opposed to Church -rates would think it hopeless to raise that question there ; but I do hope if the case i s ar gued there the rate Ivill be objected to for many other reasons than that of whether this parish is in the bo rough of Southwark or otherwise ; but how that " al most involves the question whether or not th ere i s such a parish as Christ-church " I cannot understand. Mr. Pellatt is no doubt able to explain the part Ile took (if an y) in the election of Mr . Thomas H awes as Church-warden. I know not how that crentlem an may appreciate hi s, conduct in office, but I know ther e aro many who do not form a t cry high estimate of its value. Requesting your insertion of this communication, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, THOS.

Falcon Glass Works, Holland-street, April '2O, l 539. AYRSHIRE ELECTION. (From the Ayrshire AdvertiLer.) The Sheriff has fixed the nomination of caryiidates for the representation of this county in Parliament to take place on Saturday the 27th instant, and Monday and Tuesday, the 20th and 30th, as the polling days. Assurances front all districts of the county of undi minished attachment to the Liberal cause, and of in creasing support to the Liberal candidate, Mr. Camp bell, of Craigie, have now, we believe, placed his elec. tion •ut of danger, oven though Mr. Craig, blindly led lowing an indiscreet course, and hoodwinked by the Tories, who are laughing at Lim in the hope that he is to play out their game, should maintain his recently avowed resolution of coming to the poll. Such a reso lution, however, we are far from thinking Mr. Craig will carry into of - feet. So soon as Mr. Craig ascertains the strength of his own supporters at the nomination, he will throw his weight into the scale in favour of Mr. Campbell at the poll. The other candidates hale been busily canvassing the County during the past week. Much has been said of their printed addresses, and their respective claims to support. It is needless here to dwell upon these documents. That of Mr. Campbell is a Reformer's address, and put forth by one who h tis been a steady, zealous, and consistent Reformer from his earliest years. The other, that of Lord Kel burne, is a Tory address, put forth (in a manly and in pendent manner, we must admit), by one who may, in all questions of principle, be expected to vote with those who have, with exultation, expressed their hatred of the very name of Reform. Things as " they ought to be," and thiags as they ate, or rather as they were, are their respective mottoes. With such a choice, the electors of Ayrshire, who, when left unfettered to follow the dictates of conscience, set the cation an example of Liberalism, by the return of Mr. Oswald in 183°, by a majority of 2,152 to 324, over Colonel Blair, need little persuasion to do their duty. True, many have tuff.oa_d, and are suffering, for venturing to exercise the rights of conscience, for which they ought to be held responsible to their God alone, and with which it is impious in men to interfere ; but there are better days coming for the dependent voter ! Ile must not always thus be sacrificed fur his political opinions. The Ballot, or other moans for his relief and protection, the Tories are fast hastening upon the country. In the meantime, we have no fear that the Electors of Ayr shire will not prove themselves sterner stuff than to be cajoled on the one band or frightened on the other. The old enthusiasm of 1832 is rekindled—the Reform Banners of 1832 are again unfurled—and the Reform Bands throughout the County are cheering on the voters to make a determined and united effort to swell the majority for Mr. Campbell of Craigie. A long pull, a strong pull, and—with Mr. Craig's leave—a pull altogether, and the chance of Tory ascen dancy in Ayrshire is gone for ever l The Liberal voter who shrinks from coining to the poll, is unworthy of the franchise. We observe that Mr. Feargus O'Connor has an ad vertisement in Monday's Sun, stating that he will stand for Ayrshire if solicited, and his expenses paid. This is very fair of Mr. O'Connor ; but the ground is already occupied, without any such trouble or expense to the constituency. Nobody, unless deluded, or in the pay of the Tories, would assist them at this time, by dividing Reformers. WHAT BECOME (111! FARMERS' SONS? (From the Manchester Times.) If farmers were not accustomed submiisively to re ceive their opinicns from landh:rdi they would very soon discover that, even if the Corn-law was advan tageous to them individually (which we deny) it is most injurious to them as heals of families. Vl'hat does any man labour for? Not merely that he, singly and without any tics of affinity, may obtain a subsist once, but that he may be able to secure comfort and respectability for his family. There may be exceptions to the rule, but they are exceedingly rare. The farmer can bring up only one son to his own occupation if the eon be intended to hold the same station as the father, which he could not do if the farm was to be di%iLd. For the rest of his sons he must find other employment. The church, the law, and medicine, are open to them. but in these professions a protracted and expensive education is a necessary preliminary. Trade, therefore becomes the resource of the surplus population of the farm. if the farmer have two sons, he has, so far as their settlement in life is concerned, an equal interest in agriculture and in trade. If he have three he has twice as much interest in trade as in agriculture. If he have five or six he may find it advantageous to him (and we know several such instances) to give up farming alto gether and remove iato a town, in order to push them ail forward in trade. In order to show what become of farmers' sons we here designate by different letters of the alphabet ten farmers of Inverness-shire, Perthshire, Ber wickshire, Stirlingshire and Lanarkshire, with whose family history we happen personally to be acquainted. A. Three sons; one succeeded his father in the farm ; one is a surgeon in the East Indies ; the youngest is a merchant in Edinburgh. B. Two sons : one a merchant in Liverpool, ti e other a brewer in Birmingham. C. Six sons : two, aged 40 and 88, at home, but unmarried ; two, merchants in Glasgow ; one a dry salter in Manchester, and one a merchant in Liverpool. D. Four sans : one an engineer at Louisville in Kentucky ; two, farmers, who emigrated to the United States, and one a manufacturer in Glasgow. E. Five sons : otto succeeded his father in the farm ; too emigrated to Canada and bought land ; one a merchant in Glasgow ; and one a banker in Lancashire. F. Four sons : one succeeded his father ; one emi grated and boudat land in the United States ; one 0 grocer in Edinburgh ; and one a merchant in New Yolk. G. Two lions : one succeeded his father ; the otih.r a manufacturer in Glasgow. 11. Four sons, ail extensive merchants in Manchester. I. Four sons, large calico printcr: in Lancashire. K. Five sons, all in manufacturing warehow. - es in Glasgow, and the parents now living with them. The inquiry might be carried out by asking what become of farmers' daughters .t) And here we kbouhl have a similar result. In tasking recollection we find that, on the averaLe of cases fading within our personal knowledge, only one of a farmer's daughter: is taut rind to a farmer. We therefore say that even if it could be proved that the farmer lio,; indi‘idually an interest in the continu ance of the colu-liw ; he has, as the head of a family and reAponsible for its settlement is life, a far greater interest in the full development of commercial and manufacturing enterprise, released from the imporerish ing influence of any monopoly, and cspeciaily from the opLratjon of the corn-growers' monopoly. EXTRAORDINARY FECUNDITY.— The last lambing season we noticed the extraordinary fall of iambs of seven ewes to the number of 22, which were all reared by Mr. Philip Colwil:, of Tinnacott Estate, the pro i ;crty of L. W. Buck, Esq., M. P. We have now the gratiti. cation to state that Mr. Colwiil has been still mot , . snc_ cessful with his fLck this season than the last. The last season, one ewe, the prol.erty of Mr. Colwill, brought forwaid four lambs. This season the same ewe yeancd fi v e lambs, all strong fine lambs, and doing well, and are to be seen by any gentleman or agricul turist at Tennacott Farm. The same ewe is now six rears old, and has productd her owner no less number than 21 lambs during that period, ar.d all sared in good condition to the highest satisfaction of her owner. \Ve are h.ippy to add that we hear a very good and prolific ac. count of the lambipg season generally in this neighbour hood and the North of Devon,hire..— Western Times.

LEICESTER.—A strong contest took place last week in the parish of St. Margaret's, Leicester, for the office of Churchwardens, and has terminated in a complete victory to the Liberals and anti-Church rate party. The High Church party fought a hard battle, and their defeat, after using their best exertions, in the only parish in which they ven tured a contest, is truly rnlrtifying to them. The poll lasted four days, during the first three of which the Tories, by dint of threats, and all these means of cor ruption for the use of which they are ever ready, kept neck and neck with their opponents, but on the fourth day their forces were exhausted, and the Liberals won easy, bringing their candidate (Mr. Palmer) in by a majority of 111. The numbers at the close of the poll were—for Palmer 1,100 ; and for Knight (the Tory candidate), 989. The new Churchwarden in returning thanks to the electors for their votes, deciarcd that, "rather than compel a single fellow-parishioner to pay to a Church which, except for purpose of charity, they never entered, because they conscientiously disapproved it, he would go to prison, or even to death." This triumph is considered conclusive of the strength of the Liberal party in the borough, and the consequence of the elec tion itself is of importance, in as far as it will prevent the High Church party from applying to the Court of Queen's Bench for a mandamus to compel the vestry to make a rate. CHURCH RAPACITY.—A correspondent, on whose authority we can rely, has furnished the following astounding facts, which we publish with sincere regret that such deeds should ever appear to be countenanced by any Church in Christendom. It is certain that the law never contemplated such acts of extortion as the following, neither can we persuade ourselves that they will be allowed to pass, without reproof at least, if not restitution, by the local magistracy. On the 3d instant, for a demand of two shillings and one penny for Church rates, upon Mrs. Price, of Glynfelin, in the parish of Cadoxton-juxta-Neath, a seizure was made, under the usual magisterial warrant, of fifteen bushels of oats, worth at least two pounds ten shillings, oats of not superior quality selling readily in Neath market at 3s. 6d. per bushel 1 On the 2d instant, for a similar demand of eleven pence halfpenny, the executors of the warrant of distress took from Mr. Hayward, of Bryntirion, in the same parish, one mahogany and one oak table, fairly valued at fifty shillings. It is but jus tice to remark that as far as Mr. Hayward is concerned, the Magistrates at Neath, as soon as it came to their knowledge that so disproportionate a distraint had been made, immediately directed, unsolicited, the most valu able of the two tables to be returned.—Cambrian. BANBURY.—A meeting was called at the Church on Wednesday last, for the purpose of granting a Church rate for the ensuing year. Au amendment was moved and carried, postponing the consideration of the ques tion for eleven months. A poll was then demanded, which has been fixed to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday next.—Warzoick Advertiser. TAUNTON.—One of those unseemly contests, now of annual occurrence in every part of the country, has disturbed the peace of this town, showing the absolute necessity for an immediate alteration of a law so evidently obnoxious to a considerable portion of the community. On this oc casion, by dint of immense exertions, and by the help of all the Lib-'ral Churchmen, who to a man voted for the rate, it has been carried by a considerable majority. But we fear this is only the beginning of the strife. It is one thing to vote a rate, and another to collect it. Unfortunately, the refusal of the Chairman to put to the meeting the motion for the adjournment has rendered the proceedings of the meeting illegal, and it will be impossible to enforce the rate so made, should it be resisted. Even if the rate should ulti mately be pronounced a legal one, we understand that many Dissenters will refuse to pay it, and submit pas sively to a distress upon their goods. Besides these difficulties, the collection of a heavy rate just now, when a poor-rate and a highway-rate arc in course of collection, will be very unpopular among the poor, because grievously felt by them, from whom the three rates together will take nearly a fortnight's earnings. " Ah," said a poor fellow to us yesterday, " you gentlemen go and vote away our money and you don't think how hard we've got to work to earn it, and bread so dear, too." We felt keenly the truth of this, But what is to he done? The Church cannot be per mitted to fail down for want of repair. It is impossible that a measure providing another fund for repairing it can pass through Parliament this Session. It would be but fair to give a reasonable opportunity for the pass ing of such a measure, before such an extreme course is taken as stopping the supplies altogether. - For these reasons we, in common with all those of the Liberal party who, as Churchmen, can- have no conscientious objection to the rate, but who, as a-matter of justice and expediency to . the -whole qeorrneunity i ,are. anxious to find some substitute for it, readitffoted for thisrste. But we reserve to ourselves 'the right, noy, we should feel it to be a duty, should the proposed measure for relieving the community from this tax be de feated in Parliament, to offer opposition in every form, when all appeal to the good feeling and jus tice of Parliament shall have failed—but sot before. Wo trust, however, that the excitement of the con test over, and a majority having declared in favour of the rate, it will be paid without opposition, if not with out a murmur, and that all classes and sects and parties will unite in a petition for a change in a law productive of so much excitement and contest between neighbours and fellow townsmen. Such a scene could not he re newed year after year, without consequences which all must deprecate.—Sons. county Gazette.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ISLAND OF KAR RACK OCCUPIED BY THE ENGLISH IN THE PERSIAN GULF. The Island of Karagh or Barrack is thirty-four Nautical miles N. W. by W. from Bushire, and about twenty-one North from the Persian coast, it is about twelve or thirteen nautical miles in circumference, being rather of an acute triangular shape, the point of the triangle being to the north, from this in a line nearly along the West Side it is hilly and the land irregular, but the N.W. side as well as the eastern is low land with good soil, this I consider to embrace more than three-fifths of the whole Island. It is capable of pro ducing all sorts of European and most tropical vegeta bles, and barley and wheat grow i n p er f ect i on . The whole of the plains have excellent water at fifteen to twenty feet from the surface, and it is healthy in the extreme, I believe eight or ten to be the greatest number of sick in Hospital during the wet season even up to this time (end of De cember) so far as the nativs eare concerned ; there have been about twenty Europeans, in 340 including officers, and most of these old men and who landed from a crowded ship in wet_ and stormy weather. Having given you an outline of the island and its capabilities, I will speak of its anchorage for shipping—from the latter end of March to the beginning of October, or nearly seven months of the year, the eastern ancorage is at all times safe and landing easy, during the other months it be comes necessary on a S.E. setting into shift round to the N.W. side of the island while it lasts, and where, with the shore bearing by S.S.W. or S.W. by S., in eight fathoms, you have a good anchorage ; re turning to the eastern anchorage with the N.W., when cargo, &c., may be again landed. One of the E.I.C. vessels of war have lain here almost con stantly this season acting as above recommended in the changes of wind. I now will speak of the is land in a political and commercial point of view. First, then, it is always safe from attack, while there is a couple of vessels of war in the Gulf, as no force could quit the coast of Persia without being intercepted ; secondly, its proximity to the Euphrates, only ninety miles; the same to Bushire, the principal port of Persia ; the same to the Doreck, leading into the Chaub coun try, as well as many of the wealthy districts of Persia ; it also is near Elkatiff and Bahrain, both of which places Tourchid Pasha is now trying to annex to the Government of Mahomed Ali Pasha of Egypt. These form a few of the political points to which Karegh become important. I will now proceed to its commer cial importance. First, to the whole of the places above mentioned, it forms a desirable depot for mer chandise. The insalubrity of climate has long been a drawback to European capital being advanced in a trade which annually takes off several hundred thousand pounds of European goods. The proved healthy state of Karagh at all times, removes this ob stacle, and if the British merchants established depots for British manufacturers at this island, merchants from Bagdad, Messipotamia, and other countries of the Eu phrates and Tigris, as well as those from Persil, would flock to this mart. It is well known that every year specie to the amount of ten to twenty lacs of rupees is carried down by merchants or sent to Bombay to pur chase goods ; more than treble this sum would reach Karagh for the same purpose, as the merchants of the in terior of Persia, and other countries in this part of the world, are now obliged to buy at third and fourth hands, and also goods that come frcm Res.la would purchase from a certain depot if established, I feel no doubt ; and I know the people well, there would be an increasing demand or English goods if this point was established. The few native Merchents of Bus.ire who monopolise this trade dread cur getting Karagh as our depot, as their monopoly would be at an end. These few facts are worth the notice of the mercanfile world. Wlaen tho Datcl: had Karagh they nearly drove all other parties out of the market ; when they lost Karagh, all their trading residencies and factories were quickly given up ; the same remark applies to the Portuguese, for when the lost their island depot their commerce in the Gail ended. With such political importance, our Govern ment ought to get Karagh either by purclia , ,:e or ces sion from the Persians, then make it a free port, and in two years it will become as important to Persia and 'Turkish Arabia as Singapore is to Siam, Cochin China and the Malay Islands and Peninsula. A force of two hundred men and r. detail of artillery is all that would be needful fur its occupation, the citadel built by the Dutch might be made, with a little expense an:l a faw guns, everything that could be required, beyo n d a Martello Tower or two to the S.W. for fortifying the island, wad it being the rendezvous of the E.I.C, squadron nothing could be wanted fur prc tection of commerce.—Bonzbay Courier. VYZ-‘e se6°-'( E'TENJN G EDITION. UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE. SMITHFIELD MEETING. Last evening a vast assemblage of the working classes met in Smithfield, pursuant to notice, for the purpose of passing resolutions favourable to the Chartist movement. A great deal of interest seemed to be ex cited in the neighbourhood as to the correctness of a statement which appeared in the ilfornii:g Advertiser newspaper, saying that the Chief Magistrate was deter mined not to allow any torch light meeting to be held within the precincts of his jurisdiction, and therefore many persons were present from curiosity to know whether this threat would be put into execution. At 7 o'clock a waggon, in which were the Members of the Local Committee, took its stand in the midst of the dense crowd by which it was surrounded ; soon after, several Members of the National Conven tion made their with much difileu:ty to a standing place on the same waggon ; after which, Mr. CARDO was elected President of the assembly. The meeting was addressed by Messrs. Wall, Ryan, Collins, of Birming ham, Skevington, of Leicestershire, Sankey, of Edin burgh, and others, and resolutions were passed approving of the conduct of the Convention, and de claratory of a determination to obtain the People's Charter, no matter at what price. Mr. Sankey in his address mentioned that he only arrived from Edinburgh at 6 o'clock that evening, and that in that city a large meeting was held on last Thursday in the People's Hall, and that they, the people of Edinburgh, were determined that the Charter should be the law of the land. Mr. Sankey was, as were the other speakers also, cheered enthusiastically while addressing the mul titude. The meeting separated peaceably at a late hour. Among the Banners which were carried by the persons who formed the procession, were those inscribed with " Liberty or Death," " Universal Suf frage," " Vote by Ballot," "Annual Parliaments." Qtae with the " Cap of Liberty." Another person bore the " I ri-coloured Fla g ," an d wave d i t most zea l ous l y a t those points of the different speeches which told of the great expence of attending on tke keeping up of Monar chical Governments. A TIGER HUNT. When " Blair's" regiment of local horse was first I stationed at Saeger, a report reached the camp that the neighbourhood around was greatly infested with tigers, which had committed the most alarming depredations, both among the natives of the vicinity, and the cattle of the bile-wallers, who oceepied the farms there about. Three officers of the corps resolved, on learning the circumstance, to put down this formid able nuisance, and, one evening, repaired too a field contiguous to a dense jungle, in which tigers were known to harbour ; they ascended a large bannian tree armed with rifles, having given directions to their servants to tie a co s to the tree, and tether its calf to a stake placed in the field, about 30 yards apart from the dam, also to purchase a buffalo from some r ye Willer, for any other occasional purpose ; they also gave orders that the mahouts should bring down the elephants about eleven o'clock at night. The moos shone exceedingly bright, so that they could clearly per ceive any object that might perchance come within fifty yards of them. The calf continued to bleat inces santly for the space of four hours, but no beast of prey haying shown itself within that time, and the elephants having arrived, the parties descended from the tree and repaired to their quarters, leaving- instructions for the cow and the calf to be led home after them, and the buffalo to be substituted in the place of the cow. On the following mereing the gsyc-waller came to the camp, stating that the buffalo had been carried off by a tiger. This assertion was not at first credlted, as it was imagined the cow herd might, most probably, have re moved the animal himself to turn it to his own account. The elephants were, however, ordered to be howdahed, and the parties set out to the spot, on arriving at which they discovered that a strong cord, by which the animal had been bound, was snapped short in twain, the remain ing- part being still attached to the tree, a quantity of blood also lay in patches around the roots of it. One of the ma houts observed that he could trace the path in which the buffalo had been borne away, as ho could trace the line of blood on the sward some way off. The elephants were, in consequence, turned round, and the parties went in pursuit of the marauder. They were passing through a very heavy jungle when they roused a tigress, one of the company could only succeed in obtaining but a very imperfect sieve of her. Here they lost all traces of the blood of the buffalo. They eventually came to a deep ravine, over which the elephants, with great difficulty, effected a transit, and on ascending a steep ascent, again alighted upon the gore-stained track of the tiger. They advanced upon the track for nearly half a mile, when they found themselves on the verge of a vast plain of"jow"grass. This latter cover is a very favourite retreat for tigers. The plain was bounded on the western side by a narrow nnllah, whith the elephants crossed, and entered the field, ap parently conscious that they were within the enesny's lines, for they uplifted their trunks in the air, and manifested evident symptoms of impatience. The three " shilcarries" then drew off about thirty yards apart from each other, into oats line, and advanced up the " jow" jungle. When they had progressed about mid-way, Lieutenant it. came upon the buffalo, which lay beside him, nearly half devoured. This circumstance having been communicated to his companions in arms they were on the alert, as they were well assured the object of their pursuit was close at hand. Captain 13's mahout suddenly checked the elephant, and pointing his band out before him, ex claimed, " Sahib, goss bolta !" (literally, " The grass speaks, Sir I") implying that he could perceive the grass move, subject to the way wardness of some largo animal boring through it. Captain B. took the hint, an d k ept a watc h ful eye o n the motion of the grass till it ceased. The elephant en marching up to the spot, trumpeted —an infallible signal that the enemy was winded by his gigantic com petitor, and which is invariably sounded as the elephant's challenge to his foe. Captain 8., standing up in the howdah, obtained a good view of him as he stood staring him full in the face, at the distance of about forty yards. He halted the elephant and let fly both barrels at him, both balls taking effect ; but the beast was so gorged that he was wholly unequal to come up to the attack, but moved away into the grass. Lieut. R., however, inadvertently came across an other tiger, which sprang suddenly upon the Lead of his noble elephant " Captain," before he was at all prepared for him. Lieut. C. was also, at the same moment, blazing away at a tigress, that was bounding off before him. Lieutenant It. was most awkwardly situated, for the mahout, in the fright, had slipped off the neck of the elephant into the grass, and had crawled away, so that the beast was under no control. His courage was, however, insurpassable, and Lieutenant R. shot- the tiger off his hold, both halls passing through his loins. The elephant now pinned him to the earth with his tusks. The Lieutenant called for the mahout, who, when he was assured the danger was over, crawled forth, and receiving a bog spear from his master's hand, which be carried in the howdah, he was ordered to job it into the heart of the tiger, the elephant holding him down in a vice which the combined strength of six tigers could not have resisted. When he had succeeded in killing him the other parties came up, and the mahout having resumed his post they went in pursuit of the monster that the Captain had wounded. They traversed a groat extent of ground, but could not come upon him, and were on their return home, when (Captain B.'s) mahout suddenly cried out, " Hi, sahib . ' (here he is, sir), pointing to the nullak. The whole of the parties were on the spot, but not one but the mahout could see the tiger, though, from the mcde of his directing his finger, it appeared that he was under their noses. At length he got off the ele phant, and wading into the stream, raised up a 5111,111p0l tion of the Animal's tail, the only visible part of him. The fact is, after the desperate wounds he had received, he had endeavoured to cross the nullab, but his efforts were frustrated by weakness, and he sank in the at tempt. lie was found, on admeasurement to be a little less than eight feet and a half in length, and presented one of the largest heads of any tiger that had been seen by the oldest " shi karries." During, the stay of the corps at Saeger, they contrived to kill thirteen tigers, s ome of them very large. The elephants , as hunting elephants, were invaluable, their foreheads were completely tat tooed with the claws of tigers .
