SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.--:The debate on Lord Ashley's proposition to limit the hours for women and children employed in factories to ten hours, was resumed last night. After a protracted but highly interesting discussion, it was car ried. Sir James Graham had proposed that the blank should be filled up with " twelve " hours ; and was sup -I.orted by the members of the Government. The lesser number of hours was, however, adopted by the Commit tee, by a majority of nine ; the numbers being—for the amendment, 179; against it, 170. Ministers thus sus tained a . defeat, which, though not of a party character, is sufficiently mortifying; and may occasion consi derable embarrassment to them on other questions. The observations made by Sir James Graham, after the numbers were announced, showed that he was taken by surprise. He intimated an intention—if, when the question came before the Committee in a more sub stantive form, a similar result was obtained—to abandon the Bill as a Government measure, and thus cast the responsibility upon the House. With this admonition to the adherents of the Government, there is no reason to expect that the clause as it now stands will be adhered to. Lord Ashley, and those who voted with him, will either give way, and allow twelve hours to be intro duced as the limited duration of factory labour, or the Bill will be withdrawn. A reference to our report of the discussion will show that the propositions of Sir James Graham and Lord Ashley were respectively supported and opposed without any reference to mere party politics, and even with an avowed change of opinion in leading individuals, on both sides of the House. Sir George Grey, Lord Howick, Lord John Russell, and others of lesser note on the Oppo sition benches, who had in 1838 and 1839 sup ported the twelve hours term of labour, now spoke and -voted in - favour of Lord Ashley's proposed limitation of the period of labour to ten hours; while Lord Eliot, and others on the Ministerial benches, who now sup • ported the proposition of twelve hours, were then found among the approvers of the ten hours. This change of views, on an important practical question, having no con ilection with party, must be referred to the effect produced upon candid and inquiring minds by the force of evidence subsequently adduced. With singular bad taste, and with that unfortunate forgetfulness of striking pas sages in his own history, which he thus brings to the recollection of every body else, Sir James Graham taunted Sir George Grey with an abandonment of his former views on this question ; and thus drew down upon himself another of those rejoinders which such provocations to retaliate generally produce :—" The Right Honourable Baronet opposite had charged him (Sir G. Grey) with personal inconsistency with regard to his vete of - 1839. The Right Honourable Baronet ought to . have some little charity on the score of in consisteney.—(Laughter and cheers.) Since 1839 much information had been collected, and his regard for consistency should not induce him to disregard the 1 7 ght that had been thrown upon the subject." On the important principles involved in the question which had thus occasioned so striking a change of opi nion, and consequently of action, in some of the leading statesmen of the country, of both parties, it would be deemed boldness, approaching to presumption, were we to express ourselves in terms of positive decision. It becoines us rather to pause and (xamine, than to commit ourselves to a view, which we may beAn pelled, by the force of t?stimony, to reconsider ; and having done so, to modify, if not reverse, the judgl ment we had hastily delivered. With this view we rather refer our readers to the debate, that they may form their own judgment on the case, as presented by the_speakers on both sides. They will thus be put in possession of the history of legislative interference with factory labour ; and the. effects of that interference on the branches of manufacture to which that interference has applied, and on the rights of capital and the interests of industry, with which it has interfered. We were particularly struck with a passage in Mr. Labouchere's speech, and by a similar one in that of Sir Robert Peel, in which the effects of the pro posed restriction of the hours of labour would have upon the wages of the labourers, are described. Though the ten hours' clause only refers to women and children, the clause will, in its practical operation, affect men also ; as the departments of factory labour in which women and children are employed, must be kept in motion, in order that those occupied by the men may be available to the general design. How is the deficiency in wages, which the diminished amount of labour will occasion, to be supplied ? This excision of one sixth from the earnings of those who will thus be pre vented from pursuing the employments on which they depend for susbistence, must be followed by privations extending to one-sixth of the aggregate of their present supply. In the times of brisk demand for goods, fabricated by the labour of these persons, their increased wages may bear the diminution ; but when the demand is slack, and wages low—when labour, taxed to its limit, will scarcely procure a sufficiency of bread—the privations inflicted by this well-meant, but questionable benevolence will be increased. By limiting labour, the power of obtaining the essentials of human existence must be, to the same extent, diminished. STANDARD.—The second triumph of the night was a glorious one indeed—" The carrying of Lord Ashley's clause in the Factory Bill by a majority of nine." We lament that her Majesty's Ministers voted in the mi nority. It is the first time they have so voted, because it is the first time they have been wrong. We impugn not their motives. The question is a difficult one, for when did it ever happen that the retreat from a wrong path was nof difficult ; but the retreat must be made at some time, and the earlier the less its difficulties. In the pre'ent case, the difficulties are less than they seem. The simple fact that multitudes of millowners voluntarily work under the terms of Lord Ashley's clause, proves that it is possible to work under these terms, without ne cessarily raising prices or reducing wages. And it is plain, that if mills can be worked profitably at short time, subject to the disadvantage of competition with mills working long time, there can be no reason to doubt that all may be profitably worked when all work short time ? Indeed, we should say, that a single mill working short time, and working at a profit, must be decisive of the whole question, because in eadem eta teria, what one can do all can do —if exer cising equal • skill, and contented with equal gain. Looking to the physical view of the affair, we are convinced that the admeasurement of the amount of la bour by hours is altogether erroneous. The disco very has long since been made that in money taxation two and two do not always make four, but some times make only one ; and the observation applies just as properly to a taxation of the energies of the human frame. Everybody has heard of the famous Barclay match, to walk a thousand miles in a thou sand hours, and with what toil and difficulty it was accomplished in six weeks by one of the most robust men in England ; but had Captain Barclay been per mitted his ordinary intervals of rest, he would easily have accomplished double the task —say fifty miles a day, in the same six weeks. So it is, in a greater or less degree, with all continued labour. We are doubtful whether, upon the week, more work would not be done, and better done, in fifty-nine than in sixty-nine hours ; but, taking the month, we have no doubt whatever that more and better work would be done in 236 than in 276 hours, supposing the time dis tributed equally through the twenty-four days. Is there any one will say that there is not the difference of more than 20 per cent. between the produce of a healthy and cheerful -labourer (be the labourer man, woman, or child) on the one side, and a sickly, overwrought, dispirited labourer on the other? The hours of labour, therefore, are not the measure of the produce of the labourers' toil, which may be diminished as these hours are augmented; and certainly will be diminished if the labour is prolonged for months, not to speak of years. To be sure there is the shocking hypothesis, that the labourers may be easily replaced as they are worn out, but this is an hypothesis which no one dared to offer. We hope that Lord Ashley's • clause is safely moored, but if the subject of it be agitated once more, -it is one of those questions that cannot be agitated without good effect—acd if it is, as Sir Robert Peel sui:iniSed;:but the commencement of a movement for the restriction of labour in all departments of industry, we'rhust rejoice the more at it. Lord John Russell and some of the Whigs, it will be seen, supported Lord Ashley. What ever their motive, whether, it 3vas honest, or merely the effect of a temptation to enjoy -once in their lives the pleasure of voting in kmajority against the Conservative Ministry, we dare not—they are now f a i r ly caug ht, an d cannot go back. t. Lady Brougham's soirée, which has been announced in the daily papers for to-day, Will not take place till Wednesday, the 27th instant. THE FACTORIES BILL. We return to the debate of Friday, the subject of . which was continued last evening, and •brought, - for the time at least, to a very unexpected but welcome conclusion. Lord Ashley's speech cannot fail to produce everywhere the same deep and even gloomy impression which it evidently did produce in the Houk. It exhibits a vast and apparently incurable state of wretchedness in the very heart of this great and wealthy country. It cannot be refuted. It is truth all over. The details are true ; the style is unaffected ; the tone is even, deep, and broad; the convictions of the speaker are sincere, his object disinterested, and his prin ciples beyond dispute. Notwithstanding the Unavoidable length of the speech, and the multiplicity of its parts, the reader is carried forwards by a kind of mournful curiosity through a succession of miseries, all so closely and yet so naturally arranged, -as to preclude relief to the eye, and almost hope to the mind. He Sits down from the perusal with spirits prostrated and nerves paralyzed." He has re ceived a tremendons, blow, and is stunned. For a time he cannot get over it, and has not his wits about him. At last he revives and reflects. Even Sir James Graham, proof as he must be against all kinds of rhetorical battery, is staggered. He replies as if *bin a mere dogged adherence to the plan of his• Bill. He sticks to it as a kind of refuge. He cannot .be eloquent, as if his position may perhaps be right, but is rather anti-heroic. The succeeding speakers have had-time to recover, and show greater fullness, freedom, and argument. Butyet all, even Mr. Bright, betray an impression most Creditable to Lord Ashley, and deeply 'responsive to the truths and duties he has declared. But the blow, great as it is, does not wholly and utterly destroy recollection, and stupify the senses. As soon as one recovers enough to bring the speech to a test, much is found in it that the judgment cannot approve. In the first place, long as the speech is, there is one capital omission, thus briefly recognised : " It is not my intention to enter into the commercial argu ment .of the question. I hold that which is merally wrong never cast be politically right ; and, therefore, I will put the question on the grounds on which I have always endeavoured to put it—those of justice and humanity, and the moral and physical welfare of a large portion of our.countrymen." Now, what does this really come to ? • What is meant by " the commercial argument of the question," and treating the question " on the grounds of justice and humanity ?" At first, it sounds rather grand, for " commercial arguments ' are something very mundane, and " justice and humanity" very celestial. But the basest and vilest things are often necessary to the highest ; and the same mysterious law of Providence which makes meat and drink necessary to a hero, the kitchen to the dining-rooth, the factory to Almack's, and the labourer to the Lord, does also establish a link, winch Lord Ashley can neither'break nor disregard, between com mercial arguments and grounds of justice and humanity. You must first put your . hands into your pockets, ,and have previously filled those pockets in some honest way, before you can play the benefactor, either on a private or a public scale. We must stoop to be reasonable, and -condescend to work. Providence has implanted in us heavenly instinctS,-but made us men. _ The most important question just now is—not the question of fact, which, after ten years' continual exposure, is by this time known to all men, and, we maintain, should forth with be acted upon without a month's further delay ; but— the question of ways and means. - It is proposed to reduce by nearly one-sixth the working time of nearly the whole amount of labour—sOme people say it virtually involves the whole—at the' command of the manufacturer. He replies, that such a reduction will ruin him, and. his workmen too, for of .course they hang together. They just go on as it. is; and even one hour's less working power will stop the whole machine. Now, we cannot go the length of Mr. Senior's cal culation on the subject, which, like some other of that gen tleman's theories, requires a large accommodation to practice. But we do say, that we wish we could be sure that the ten hours' time involved only a reduction to ten hours' wages. The operative is associated with a mighty coadjutor —the mill—whose wages cannot be lowered to a ten hours' time, and for whose fatal obstinacy the living agent must make up, besides the reduction on his own account. There are, happily, some qualifying considerations—such as that ten hours' human labour is worth much more proportionably than twelve, and that such a restriction will have a tendency to equalise supply and demand; but the broad facts of the case are as we have stated them ; and we cannot refuse the testi mony of those most conversant with the subject, confirmed as it is by the common sense of all men. At least it is a ques tion, and a very necessary one. There remains, too, another and equally necessary 'question—how is that loss to be met ? that ruin to be provided against ? But what does Lord Ashley say ?—" Gentlemen,—l am going to prove an immense amount 'of. misery. The master manufac turers are working their people beyond the limits of human endurance. I propose, to stop them. 'lt is not my inten tion to enter into the commercial argument of the question.' I shall not inquire what loss my measure will entail on the employers—whether it will close their mills, and bring the whole population to Most horrible wretchedness, starvation, and death; nor shall I inquire whether the class to which 1 belong has had any hand in producing this state of things— whether we can make any sacrifices to mend what may be partly our fault, and whether the nation can or ought to help the millowner.. I hold that which is morally wrong never can be politically right; and therefore I will put the ques tion on the grounds of justice and humanity,'".&c. Why, what sort of justice and humanity is this? Lord Ashley need not have been ashamed to confess him self not quite up to the commercial argument. All men have their lines, and this is not his. But we will tell him what he might have done. He might have said—" I will leave to others the commercial argument, and if they make out tolerably to my satisfaction that the present is really a question between over-working and death—that my ten hours' time is not practicable, unless the landowner not only talks, but puts his shoulder to the wheel—and that it will cause such a reduction of profits as must be met in some way or other by the nation at large—then I, for one, am quite prepared to abide the result of the inquiry, and recommend to Parliament some relaxation of the burdens which pecu liarly affect manufacture. That which is morally right can not be politically wrong ; and I will accordingly stand all the consequences of an act which is incumbent on the broad grounds of justice and humanity." There would have been nothing grovelling, or commercial, or inconsistent with the highest regard for justice and humanity in such a declara tion. The absence of it is not a little calculated to damage his cause. Another deficiency in the speech is one, perhaps, not so much in Lord Ashley's power to amend. The black cata logue of miserable facts which he recites is not a catalogue raisonnee, but an auctioneer's list—a mere column of acci dents and offences. We allow that he has evidently used not only all the diligence and research, but almost all the penetration and judgment possible to one in his position. One can see that where he has alleged facts by fives, he has rejected them by fifties. and has been conscientiously and nervously careful not to be misled by partial or hasty in formants. But this has not proved sufficient, as anybody internally acquainted with the manufacturing system would see, or rather feel, in a moment. He tells facts, important facts, picked facts ; but even when a man is telling facts, anti that truly, it is always possible for those actually initiated in the subject to say whether he knows them experimentally or only second hand. There is a way of describing things pecu liar to those who live in them, and which cannot be bor rowed by one who is forced to " get up" the subject. The speech as a whole, is erroneous and unfair just as Martin's black, or red, or blue paintings are erroneous and unfair, if meant for representations of nature. His narrative is all one and the same; but the actual state of the case endlessly varied and involved. There is the greatest actual difference between millowner and millowner, town and town: Some masters bestow an attention to the comfort and improvement of their people which any land owner in England might do well to copy. Some mills are worked by picked men, women, and children ; and others by refuse and riff-raff. Some persons, and even populations, are intrinsically and incurably corrupt and reckless, and would be so anywhere, whether in or out of a mill. Some parents will neglect their children ; some operatives will save money, others will not. But it is useless to go on. Every one who has lived in a manufacturing town knows that it affords as great reliefs and exceptions as any other state of society. Again, who would guess from the speech that all and almost every one of the inmates of this house of bondage had, in fact, taken refuge In factories from a still lower hell—an inadequately employed agricul tural population? If things are bad in Lancashire, they must be wore elsewhere ; for we may de pend on it all these hundreds of thousands have not jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. The most wretched of the manufacturing class, and those who have doubtless fur nished most matter to this tale of woe, are the Irish immi grants. Parts of England also have sent there a quota not much better. A brief personal history of every individual alluded to by Lord Ashley would iii most cases greatly exonerate the factory from the charges of corruption and oppression, and throw them back on the rural districts. We are sorry to recur to the ".commercial argument," but it is impossible to legislate fairly and wisely on this subject without taking a comprehensive view of the state of British labour and its existing relations to wealth. Thus, the over-working of the operative is only another form of the same evil as the under-paying of the labourer. If it were possible to cultivate our fields with steam and light them with gas, we should soon have to ask a Short. time Bill -for the country as well as for the town. Nature times the labourer, so he is pinched in his pay. The old poor law was a sufficient pay act for the labourer. Mr. Senior, or any other out-and-out political economist, would tell us at once, that it and the Ten Hours' Bill stand on the same footing. The nation no longer interferes between the fanner and his labourer to protect the latter. The result is, that rents have risen and wages fallen. Yet persons acquiesce in that cessation of interference, and profit by it, who are now for interfering between the mill-occupier and hil - openitive, to the almost certain loss of the former. Can any legislation be just and permanent which is not consistent and . compre hensive ? But if we are forced to point out the deficiences of Lord Ashley's speech, what must be said of „Sir ',lames Gra ham's ? The commercial argument omitted in the former is the substance of the latter. The two speakers pursue lines so wholly distinct, and yet severally so true, that they may run on in parallel directions for ever, without a chance of meeting. Lord Ashley aims at a legislative maximum of la bour, Sir James Graham a minimum of profit. Humanity without political prudence, and prudence without humanity ! Is there no middle term ? Is it impossible to be just as well as generous? Of the two, we prefer a humanity, which acts blindly perhaps at first, but feels its way to a happy result. With Sir James we can have no sympathy. Even with truth in his mouth, he drives us to the other side. His former con federates and his present confederates alike deter us. When we listen to his arguments, and see him supported by Mr. M. Gibson and Mr. Bright, the mind seems to waver between sight and memory,,and we doubt whether the scehe Wore us is not merely a vision of the past.—Umet,-. 1 = 4P." - t DEATH OF THE DOWAGER os Piqoxirtrrtss' OF CLA.'

This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords, the most perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL INCOME being UPWARDS of 60,0001. • In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of one-half of their Stock, and also added . a Bonus of 21. per cent. per annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class from the time they were effected. The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1634, to December 31, 1840, is as follows : Sum Time Sum added Sum Time Sum added Assured. Assured. to Policy. Assured.

Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, as Members, on the sth of April next, should appear, or lodge their proposals at the Office; on or before that day. • . So various are the plans now befoce the public for effecting As surance on Lite, that it may seem difficult to, make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following classification may be made : Ist„ Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from premiums and other profits is divided, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stock holders. 2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions be tween Share and Stockholders and the Assured. • 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the Assured only. The METROPOLITAN, which is of the last class, was established in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of advertising re. sorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appreciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed £49,000. In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's affairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of rive Years' stan din g have been reduced FO Y-TWO AND A HALF per Cent. A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained on application at the office. RICHARD HEATHFIELD, Superintendent. Princes-street, Bank, 13th March, 1844.

Under the above title an entertainment of great novelty and interest was last evening given (for the seventh time)- at the Music Hall, Store-street, Bedford-square, by the, five most celebrated pipers and dancers of the Highlands,‘ who were selected for their pre -eminent excellence, by the noble owner of Taymouth Castle, to exhibit tho peculiarities and beauties of their national music and, their equally characteristic dances, before her Majesty and Prince Albert, during her stay at the Ca s tl e , on th e occasion of her late visit to Scotland. It is well known that her Majesty, who is in these matters a connoisseur of the greatest taste and judgment, expressed herself delighted with their performance. The entertainment of last night convinced us that it could not have been otherwise, and a crowded audience testified by enthu siastic applause, and encores (too numerous, considering . the great exertion required from the performers), that they felt equal delight with that which their gracious and accomplished Sovereign had enjoyed. The per formers are five, John Cameron, Archibald Macdonald, Duncan Mackay, Donald Macdougall, and Ewen Fraser, and th• labours of the evening, and opportunities of dis playing their powers, are fairly divided between them. and in each Piobaireachd (Pibroch) and tune each re ceived that full meed of applause and admiration which he richly merited, and which was, perhaps, much en hanced by the entire novelty of the amusement, to the lovers of song in this " Far South." The dances— extremely pleasing, and, to us of London, entirely new— whose pus de soul, or; if we may so speak, sells. —or perhaps flings—were performed 'by Archibald Macdonald, with polished : grace - and finely regulated activity, as well as, in some instances, with considerable humour. In the character of !‘ a highland Shepherdess, in real costume," he took the company by surprise (not withstanding the previous exhibitions of his art in the course of the evening), and . drew down unbounded plaudits. He looked and dressed the character to per fection," and mingled an expression - of coyness, sim plicity, and archness in his style, both at his entree anti and throughout the dance, which dikl great credit to his . powers as an actor. It was the very reverse of coarse and droll, and yet it provoked irresistible 'laughter. simply because the role of the shepherdess, with a well formed foot and ancle, which the omnibus-box would. not find fault with, was performed by the manly High lander, whose exhibitions in his own character had pleased them so much. The metamorphosis was complete and well sustained, and the • dancing graceful, elaStic, and elegant.. We have unintentionally been led to speak of the dancing before the music, although the latter, on account of its rank and the excellent style of its per formance, claims priority of notice. Perhaps the greater novelty - of our impressions may be an excuse. The music consisted of varied performances on the Highland pipes, with the exception of a tune, " Roderick Mhie Alpine Du," and a hornpipe, " the East Neuk of Fife." played on the violin in a masterly style by Mr. Fraser., and rapturously encored by an audience to whom the, nstrument way by no means so novel as the pipes We must acknowledge that we had rt notion of the merits of the Highland pipes until we heard the instruments in the hands of these masters. Their tones were ac melodious. as they were brisk, and theirplaying was equally steady,. vigorous, delicate, and exact. We need not particularise, the names of the numerous pieces played, as we could have little to say as to their comparative merits. They were all received with equal enthusiasm. If an excep tion should be made in this respect, it should be to the tunes " Queen Victoria's Welcome to Dunkeld," by Mackay (the difference of the applause being certainly to be ascribed to its loyal theme) ; and " Bodich Briogaisi," by , J. Cameron. "The Gillie Callum, or Sword Dance ' (as . performed before her 11Iajesty, at Taymouth Castle), was executed by Mr. Archibald Macdonald, with surprising agility and neatness. Each part of the entertainment was concluded by a reel, in which four of the performers take part, and each of these elegant, and truly national dances, was encored. In a word, we have scarcely ever made . part of a more, 'gratified audience, or witnessed an entertainment more deserving of its success. They are to be at the King' Arms, Kensington, on Friday next, under the special patronage of Captain Charles Forbes ' • and at the Lon don Tavern, on Wednesday, the 3d of April. FATAL ACCIDENT TO LORD WILLIAM HILL. (From the Ipswich Express of this day,) A painful sensation was created in Ipswich, at about two o'clock yesterday (Monday), by the rumour that Lord Wil liam Hill, Captain of the Scots Greys, now stationed in our barracks, and second son of the Marquis of Downshire, had met his death while hunting, near the village of Bramford„ about four miles from this town. Unfortunately the arrival, of expresses at the barracks, and subsequently at the resi dence of Mr. C. Gross, coroner. confirmed the report that the young nobleman was dead. It appeard that his Lordship was killed in Bramford-park, the seat of the Dowager Lady Middleton. Having mounted his horse, which he took from the hands of his servant near the house, his Lordship seems to have dashed with all his well-known boldness down the. park, riding his horse at the very top of his speed. At the; bottom of a hill there is a pond, and in endeavouring to tune the horse so as to avoid it, the animal in the highest state of excitement bore his Lordship witk so much violence against. a large tree, as to knock him . from his scat, and cause in stant death. The trunk of the tree jutting out considerably. the unfortunate nobleman's head came 'in contact with it. No fracture took place, and there was scarcely an ap pearance of violence; but so intense.was the shock, that his Lordship appears not to have moved or breathed after his fall.. At about half-past three o'clock, a respectable jury woat sworn by Mr. Gross, at the Angel Inn, Brainford, and inua-- diately afterwards the coroner and jury proceeded to the cot tage, about half a mile distant, where the deceased lay, Se veral of Lord Hill's brother officers were in attendance. After viewing the body and examining the hat of the de jury - ceased, which was completely broken, the repaired to the; fatal spot, traced the footmarks of the horse in the turfy which clearly showed that the horse had been going at a fearful pace, and looked at the projection on •the tree, to which particles of the felt on Lord Hill's hat yet adhered. The body of the deceased was then put into a coach, and, fol lowed by the majority of the officers, proceeded mournfully towards Ipswich. The jury returned to the Angel Inn, when the gardener of Bramford-park, who saw the accident, was examined, and stated the circumstances in a satiActory manner. Mr. Mumford, Mr. Bartlett, and Mr. Sawer, surgeons, were in attendance, but the jury thought it unnecessary to examine them.—Verdict, " Accidental Death." Another serious accident also occurred to a youth named Palmer, by a fall from the same horse. It appears shortly after his Lordship was thrown, the lad mounted the horse, with the intention of - riding him out of the park, but from the excited and unmanageable state of the horse at the time, he was instantly thrown with great violence, his head coming in contact with some palings. He was immediately conveyed home, and promptly attended by Mr. Sawer. The extent of the injuries he has sustained, is not correctly ascer tained; his head and all parts of his body are severely bruised, but it is hoped no bones are broken. ,This accident has co-_ casioned the greatest distress to the mother, a widow: woman, with nine children, who has very slender means us f supporting so large a family. - THE LAST CAMPAIGN IN AFFGHANISTAN,We are requested to state that Mr. Colburn, of Great Marl borough-street, has this day published " The Narrative of the last Campaign in Afighanistan, under General Pollock," by Lieut.
