THE CHARTISTS.

The members of the St. Andrew's Charter Associa-
tion, on the motion of Mr. Edward Hancock, seconded
by Mr. J. Macdonald, have resolved unanimously :

...... .
" As the members of this Society do not wish to be
perilled by the intrusion of Government spies, and the
irrational conduct of over-zealous friends in exhibiting
V2liitst arms, that ought to be kept at home for set!:
defetir- only—it is hereafter ordered, that the individual
guilty of such misconduct be expelled immediately from
the Society."
[We publish this by request, but we think we also do
the public a great service by making it acquainted with
all that the Chartists-.,who seem at present much ca-
lumniated, andiserhaps exposed to persecution—do, and
propose to do.]

FATAL EFFECTS OF THE LATE STORM.-
On Monday an inquest was held before Mr. Wakley, at
the Harrow public-house, Compton-street, Clerkenwell,
on the body of James Lee, aged 49. Eliza Lee, widow
of deceased, said that her husband, who was a lapidary,
was in the employ of Mr. Whitelock, jeweller. Northamp-
ton-street. About eight o'clock last Wednesday evening
be returned home from work, and at eleven o'clock, with
herself and their two children, retired to bed, at which time
there itas.a dreadful storm, and it lightened very much.
They all slept in the same bed in the top room of an
cut-house, iii the garden of No 20, Lower Northampton-
street. About half-past eleven o'clock deceased sud-
denly exclaimed, " My eyes are on fire," and jumped out
of bed, but immediately fell down. Witness procured as-
sistance, and be was placed in bed again, when a surgeon
was sent for. Deceased, however, never spoke more, but
remained with his eyes closed in a state of insensibility till
Friday afternoon, when he died. After he was struck 1
there was a dreadfully sulphureous smell in the room. Wit-
ness did not feel any shock or see anything when he cried
out. Mr. Wakley said it was generally supposed that
persons struck dead by lightning were greatly disfigured,
but such was not the case. Several persons spoke to the
general sober and industrious habits of deceased, whose
widow and children were now left in a state of abject misery.
Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God."

dow into the street. The body was removed to the Uni-
versity College Hospital to await the holding of the

thus, what rebels against thy principles are some of the
folk in this our ancient borough of Maldon I—for on Tues-

all alive and doing well—making a grand total of eight
little olives round papa's table. This is making Hay while
the stla shines.—Essex Herald.
