A linro•Eurarrap Bcrram.—A few days ago • Met
men paining the butcher's shop of Mr. Harrison,
Chereh-street, West Hartlepool, was observed by the
latter to take front his stall a sheep's head, and walk
away with It. Mr. Harrison followed him leisurely to
his home, and on entering, inquired what had induced
him to commit the theft. The reply was as shocking as
unexpected. The poor .as, bursting into tears,
dirented his pursuer's attention to a family ofiwyvouga
children, who were at that instant badly
gnawiag the heed in its raw state; the explanation ten.
dered was that of "enraged hunger." Mr. Harrison
thereupon bade the man retrace his steps to the shop,
and there sought to relieve his distress by the gift of a
55.-piece (which what to purchase breed and potatoes,
together with seven pounds of beef.

BOTTLING • PHOISIC9TOIL —A novel mode of ending •
prosecution han been revealed at the Staffordshire
quarter session., in an application for the dierbarge
person named Robson from Stafford gaol. Robson wee
last year • farmer in Cheshire. and several head of cattle
had been stolen from his farm by some cattle dealers,
who were apprehended and itommitted for trial to
Knoteford seestoos, where as the prosecutor did not
snlmlsr.biereoogniesnoes were estreated.and the prisoners
werr diseherged. Two month' ago, Ramon was met in
Staffordshire by an ofiloer to whom he was known,
and was lodged in Stafford gaol under the order of
retreat. It is now known that friends of the settle
dealers, immediately after the oommittal to Enutsford,
not only tampered with the witemises, but even offered
a large bribe to the attorneys forth, prosecution. Not
content with this, they induced Robson to go to Liverpool,
where they plied him with drink, took him on board

a steamer, oscompanied him to fineen- stown, and there
left the vessel, the resclt being that Robson, when he
cans to him senses, found himself irretrievably booked
for • voyage to Amorist, and without mess to enable
him to return. Raving second sufficient for this
purpose, he came beck to England, and was soon after-
wards lodged in prison. These circumstances being
stated to the court, the chairman said that he did nob
see how he could interfere, and advised that • memorial
should be sent to it. Lord.' of the Treasury.
Ma. BRIGHT AT GLAROOII. The purpose of Mr.
Bright's speech was to show how much better England
'sold be governed by "the nation" though its reprise-
Stirs@ were freely and fairly oboes', than by." stogie
class in a sham Parliament." Re concluded an eioipsat
address with the follcwing solemn and touching words:
—"I believe now that there is nothing that would so
tend to sweeten the breath of British society as the admira-
tion of • large and generous number of ths workine

reach the heart of my
—a who 6 b„,6gested to the
adveamment'ef religion, to this country. I task him to
consider whether there are not great political obstacles
to the extension of civilisation and morality and
religion within the bounds of the United Kingdom—
(cheers). We believe—thew misisten of religion,
and you and I—in • Supreme Ruler of tbe universe.
We believe in His omnipotence; we believe and we
humbly trust in His mercy; we know that the stroegost
argument which is used against that belief, by those
who reject it, it is an argument drawn from the
misery and the helplessness and the darkness of so many
of our sae, in even estuaries that call theologies
aivilieed and Christie.. Is not that the fact ?—(yes). If
I believeel that misery and that helpless'sss and that
darks.s could not be touched or transformed. I my; elf,
shall be driven to admit the almost or. rwhelmng
force of that great argument ; brat I am convinced that
jolt laws and an enlightened administration of them
' would change the faxe of this country. I believe that
Ignorance and ouffering may be loosened to an incal-
culable extent, and that many an Elan beauteous with
Bowen and profuse in fruit, may be rased
up in the waste wilderness whith spreads before
us. But no class can do this. The clue
which has hitherto ruled in this country has failed
miserably. It revels in power and wealth whilst at its
feet—a terrible peril for its future—the the multitude
which it has neglected. If thine:has has failed, kt us try
the nation—{great cheering). This is our faith—this is
our purpose —this is our ovntry let us try the
nation --(renewed cheering.) This it is which has called
together these countless numbers et the people to
demand a change; and! think I see in thew gatherings,
sublime in their vastness and their resolution, I think I
see, as it were, above the hill top of time, glimmerings
of the dawn of a better and nobler day for late country
and for the people that I love no well."—(enthusistio
