WARD OF CRIPPLEGATE.

[The following is a fuller report of what Mr. Frost
said at the Cripplegate Meeting than appeared in our
Journal yesterday
Mr. Frost differed entirely from the mover of the
amendment, who had all through his speech treated the
question as if this were a vote of thanks to the Whigs,
whereas the general opinion evidently was that they
had not gone far enough in their measures. As re-
garded the question of education no Government would
be deserving of the confidence of the country that did
not provide for the education of the people, without
reference to sect or creed. The charge that the object
of the Educational Bill was to undermine all religions
was totally false, and could only originate in the mind of
a bigot. The tendency of education was obviously to
dissipate error, and to emancipate the mind from those
delusions to which ignorance afforded a sanctuary, and
those who would limit the education of the humble
classes within the narrow bounds of their own charity
were the greatest foes to religion. With regard to the
Tories possessing all the respectability and education,
he denied it. He had always found them intolerant
and despotic, and they were still the same. Witness
this attempt to deprive the Queen of her friends and
associates—witness the late intolerant conduct of the
Duke of Newcastle, who had refused to appoint a gen-
tleman to the commission of the peace on the sole
ground of his being a Dissenter. And did they want a
proof nearer home ? Witness the speech of the mover
of the amendment at a former ward meeting, who told
them if they did not like the Tory Government they
might quit the country. Such intolerance would not
do in the in the present day. He called upon all true
friends of Reform, upon all who had a spark of true
gallantry or generous feeling in their breasts, to vindi
cate her Majesty's noble conduct by voting for this
address.

she was brought to the hospital. There was a cut
upon her throat. Mr. C. Matthias, house-surgeon,
said the deceased was admitted about a quarter to two yes-
terday morning. She was quite dead, though still warm.
Her head was quite flattened, and her brains protruded.
Such an injury would cause death instantly. The slight
wound in the neck was quite recent. The wound in the
neck must have been inflicted by a small knife, and pro.
bably by herself. Miss Elizabeth Lusmore lives at 27,
Piccadilly, Deceased was her servant, and was about
nineteen years old. Believed she was perfectly sane;
when she last saw her she was in excellent spirits. She was
an exceedingly steady girl, and of a most amiable disposition.
She slept alone in the room adjoining that from the window
of which it is supposed she threw herself. She went to bed
at a quarter to twelve on Monday night, when she wished
witness and some young ladies that were with her good
night in the most cheerful manner. Deceased had no bu-
siness in the room from the window of which she precipi-
tated herself, but she understood that the unfortunate girl
was in the habit at night of looking out at the window for
hours together. Deceased had no male followers. There
was no suspicion of deceased being enciente. Witness's
opinion was that deceased fell asleep while looking out of
the window, and that was the cause of her fall. It was
here stated by a gentlemen that he had examined the bo.
dy, and that the wound in the neck appeared to have been
produced by the bone of the deceased's stays in the fall.
Several witnesses proved deceased was in the habit of sit.
ting on a table near the window, and passing nearly the
whole of the night in that situation.—Verdict, Accidental
Death.

METROPOLITAN POLITICAL
SUMMARY.

The &grim of „laitmight s-a:ys -ftferense to some
temaris by the,
VianCellPr_of the Eitcheq'tti& It" the
Commons, respecting oetige:'4." aiiii'oilhceniene, Was'
made last night by the Chancellor of Viieliqfei' Of nib,
intention of Government to introduce a measi.frif loWneed
on the report of the Select Committee on Postage. The
t;.ibfniny Chronicle considers this announcement as equiva-
M. i4tt plike tptilt to gdopt Mr. Rowland Hill's plan for
an uniform Penny-F:oifift; /Ye t'onfeas, however, that on
referring to the words of the Chaneetiff of the Exchequer,
as reported in the different papers, we du ski tl*nk That
they amount to any thing like a clear statement of Oct'
an intention, and we trust that a more explicit declaration
will be r; tide et the real intentions of Goverment on a
question on which fill dess.et of people take so deep an
interest."
The Globe urges the necessity of a union =OTT all Re-
fathers, in these terms—" The immediate reunion of Ile.
formers into ode liberal band, to urge on effectual, but at
the same time safe and COristltt/tional improvements, must
be the cardinal object of every true (fiend of his country
in the present crisis of our political affairs. The reunion
of Reformers—this must be accomplished. Their enetti'ic
are united. Notwithstanding the diversities of opinion
which prevail among them, from the furious bigotry of the
Rodens and Philpotts, to the comparatively Liberal Con-
servatism of the more distinguished members of their
party, the Tories act in one embodied phalanx, obedient to
the direction of sagackus and experienced leaders, and
prepared for attack or defence, for advance or retreat, at
the word of command. And unless the Reformers will
learn from their enemies—unless tbey agree to act in
concert on occasions of great political emergency—it is
certain that the progress of salutary national improvement
will be arrested, and the reign of Ecclesiastical intolerance
and official corruption restored."
The Standard, alluding to the Penny Postage scheme,
observes :—The Morning Chronicle magnifies an intima-
tion that some change is to be made in the Postage of
Letters, as proof that Ministers are determined to proceed
sternly with practical reform. We promise that if Minis-
ters limit their innovations to such practical reforms as the
General Penny Postage, they will have the hearty concur-
rence of Conservatives."

The Times of this morning sounds the tocsin of bigotry
in the loudest and most stunning style possible, so that not
a fanatic or intolerant in the three Kingdoms, but shall be
startled by the alarm-peal. After abusing the Ministerial
Scheme, through the greater part of a heavy column, our
clamorous Contemporary proceeds to say :—" Our brethren
of the reformed faith may be well persuaded that without
unrelaxed, and even redoubled, exertions in stern disap-
proval of the Whig-Radical plot, these unscrupulous, irre-
ligious, and purblind men will, in the phrenzy of a sup-
posed official necessity, and under the coercion of inexo-
rable masters, attempt to fix upon the neck of the rising
generation the dreadful yoke of a heavy, leaden disregard
towards all knowledge of the Supreme Being and of his
revealed will, spreading the pestilence of real infidelity
throughout the land, under the guise of liberal education."
The Morning Chronicle alluding to the Ministerial
Education scheme, and the rancorous opposition made to
it by interested Churchmen, observes :—" It is oddly said
that the antagonism to a training and model school is only
defensive on the part of the clergy. Defensive of what, we
should like to know ? How is the Church injured by the
State taking care that both Church schools and Dissenting
schools shall have the opportunity of obtaining better
schoolmasters? How is it possible for this simple, impar-
tial, and beneficent provision to be construed into a wrong,
unless by the most narrow intolerance, or the most
grasping monopoly ? The Government proposition in no
way limits or checks the educational operations of the
Church ; on the contrary, it offers an advantage. The
Church complains of a want of schoolmasters. The Go-
vernment offers, by means of the projected normal school,
t) supply that want. And the offer is resented, vilified,
abu4ed beyond measure, as an attack on the Church,
simply because the want of a Dissenting school may also be
supplied from the same source."
The Morning Herald abuses Ministers in the following
virulent and wordy style, which would be far more effec-
tive, were it but a little more intelligible. But what is to
be expected from an old woman at " Grandmamma's" time
of life ?—" Hiving brought things to this state by their
atrocious misrule, the Whigs now offer the country the
choice between anarchy and despotic power—between the
licentious ferocity of an ochlocracy, trampling property in
the dust, and partitioning the land among them, and a
centralized police extending all over England, making
wreck and spoil of our Anglo- Saxon liberties, as the ruf-
fian advisers of the Chartists would make wreck and spoil
of our goods. This is the alternative which, after nine
years of their disastrous sway, the Whig Ministers offer
the British nation I and such are the merits of the Minis-
try in whose support the London Corporation are asked to
present an Address to the Throne I"

The Morning Advertiser makes the following temperate
and judicious appeal to all the more reflecting and rational
members of the community :--" It is time that those men
who belong less to party than to their country should look
about them, and inquire what good is likely to be done by
giving countenance and encouragement to the frantic
courses of the most violent and malignant spirits, in resist..
ing all improvement—in thwarting all accommodation and
conciliation—in denouncing all authority not wielded by
themselves—in exciting the people to question the policy of
the most useful laws, and to habits of resistance--and above
all, in denying to the people that means of knowledge, both
secular and religious, which is necessary to influence their
conduct in a right direction."
The Morning Post makes a bungling attempt to ridicule
the popular demand for a re-union of Reformers. We
subjoin a sample of our Contemporary's heavy waggery
on this occasion ;—.. The Ministerial hacks are loud and
earnest in their cry for the re-union of Reformers.'
This, they say, must be accomplished. But unfortunately,
while they insist upon the necessity of this re-union, they
are compelled to preserve a most lugubrious silence as to
the means by which it is to be accomplished. It is mani-
fest enough that such a re-union is necessary, if it be ne-
cessary that the present Ministers of the Crown should
continue to draw certain stipends quarterly from the Trea-
sury. It is manifest enough that such a re-union is ne-
cessary, if it be necessary that the hangers-on who hope
for positions or for promotion from the present Ministers
should not be disappointed. It needed no labour to show
this. But the bow is the real difficulty, and upon this
very material part of the subject the Treasury prints wisely
preserve silence."

PORTSMOUTH.-(TUESDAY.)

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

An " untoward " event has again taken place in the
West Indies regarding the honour of the French and
English national flags ; and as without doubt the
Tories will dilate on the circumstances, and avow
that the British flag has been again insulted, it
is but right, through the columns of The Sun paper,
to put the story in its true stt:te before the public. It
appears that Commodore Douglas, in his passage from
the West Indies to Bermuda, with his pendant flying
in the Medea steamer, was anxious, in his passage past
the Island of Cuba, of capturing every slaver that
could possibly conic within his reach, and for this pur-
pose gave chase to everything he saw ; late one after-
noon he chased a brig, which, not heaving to, he
fired two guns at her, without shot, but on her
shortening sail, and being boarded she proved to be a
French brig of war. How such a mistake could
have arisen ought to be inquired into, as her pendant
and ensign at all times should both prove her nationality,
and her Government right of undisputed movement.
Here was an insult to the French flag, which
Commodore Douglas promptly apologised for, and
the apology was accepted, the vessels separated,
and each pursued its way. Subsequently, however,
Commodore Douglas collected certain qualms of con-
science that he had not sufficiently humbled himself
before the Frenchman, and having expressed himself
to this effect to Captain Nott, the Commander of
the Medea, ordered him to alter his course and
overtake the French brig ; we have said this
occurred late in the afternoon, but by the time
the Medea's head was put again towards the
Frenchman, from the absence of twilight in that
county, it bad got quite dark ; and the first intimation
the Medea had of her being again in the vicinity of the
',::French vessel, was the running plump aboard of her, for
which act of gross negligence and want of caution,
and look out, the Medea received a broadside from
the French vessel ; four shots struck her, and the leg
of one seaman was carried off, we are not aware of any
other damage. Commodore Douglas at first thought of
returning the fire, but prudence dictated, that hav-
ing committed a very unseamanlike sad unwarlike
action, he had better send a boat aboard the vessel
which had fired at him ; this he did, and consequently,
the French Captain immediately waited on the Com-
modore, expressed his sorrow for the circumstance,
but said vary truly, the fault was not his, he had no
reason to expect the Medea would follow him, but find-
ing himself boarded in the dark, he naturally thought
some impudent' pirate had wantonly attacked him, and
that therefore he resisted to his utmost, as he was in
duty bound to do. The Commodore then pursued his
way to Bermuda.

DETENTION OF THE MAIL.—The LOlldoll
Mail on Monday, arrived at a quarter to 3 r.m.,—that is,
three hours beyond the usual time. The cause of deten-
tion was not known to tho driver of the Post-Office gig
which communicates with the Glmgow Mail, on its passage
through Lockerby ; but the inference we draw from a
circumstance so unusual is, that something had happened
amiss to some of the trains on the Birmingham Railway.__

A POLITE QUAKER.—Speaking of the Per-
sonal appearance of the Queen the other day, to a respect-
able gentleman of Shields, who belongs to a denomination
of Christians wbich prefers the beauty of utility and kind-
ness to that of ceremony, we obtained the following anec-
dote;__" Nell, I'll tell thee what," said our worthy
Friend, " I happened to be in London when her Majesty
went to the Mansion-house banquet, and I was so struck
with the chaste and beautiful demeanour, and innocent yet
dignified look of ner Majesty, that I incautiously lifted my
hand to my hat to pull it off. "—Port of Tyne Pilot.
A CHAPTER OF INCIDENTS.—On Saturday
evening last, as the Brighouse market car was proceeding
towards that place, a serious accident occurred near Hip-
perholme. The axletree broke, and the vehicle was thrown
violently upon the ground; the car was full at the tame,
and the whole of the passengers were more or less injured.
One gentleman, who was seriously bruised, was Liken up
by Mr. Day, of Brighouse, but they had not proceeded far
before the gig was upset; the injury sustained by this se-
cond disaster was, however, only trivial. A man was sent
to Brighouse, upon the car being overturned, with one of
the horses, for a chaise, and it was reported that when he
reached the stable the horse di opp down aid ,xp/red

rest tlieniiefVff Irma the fatigues of Tuesday, and prepare
eliedfselVes for the more exciting events of Thursday. It
is Efiiff SW at Doncaster, and that no change has taken
place at Ascot was proved yestesday by the inferior
character and atheAvnt of the sport, arid the thin-
ness of the attendance. The Review, we imagine, can-
not have operated otherwise than prejudicially ; the
fatigue of an exhibition of this kind to epeetators, as well
rts- aetorg,. is too well known to make it a matter of wonder
OW those who witnessed it were not much inclined to pro-
ceed to the Heath and participate in the afternoon's sports ;
heat and dust were against it, after a quantum cuff. of
noise and smoke. The show of fashionable and carriage
company was indifferent—certainly not sufficiently large to

POLICE INTELLIGEN CE.

BOW-STREET.

An elderly woman named Catherine Gleeson, residing
at 2, George-yard, Drury-lane, was yesterday placed at the
bar before Mr. Charles Thiselton, a county magistrate,
charged with attempting to conceal the birth of a still born
babe by leaving it at the railings which surround Saint
Mary-le-Strand church.
It appeared from the statement of Colin Forbes, 115 F
division, that while on duty in the Strand, about half-past
three o'clock cn the previous morning, he saw the prisoner
come out of the Queen's College gate, Somerset House,
carrying something bulky under her arm, and perceiving
that he was watching her movements she crossed the street
near to the church, and laid what was concealed under her
arm upon the wall of the railings. She then proceeded in
a hurried manner up Drury-court, but being overtaken and
questioned what she had left on the wall, she said she
knew nothing about it. On being conducted back, a
wooden box was found, and upon lifting the lid, which was
not fastened down, it appeared to contain something. The
prisoner was then conveyed to the station house, and the
box, which was given in charge of another constable, being
opened, was found to contain the body of a child in a state
of decomposition.
Mr. Weatherfield, a Surgeon, in Southampton-street,
Covent.garden, proved that he examined the contents of
the box, and he was of opinion that the child, which was a
female, bad net come into the world alive. It was far gone
in a state of decomposition.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said she had occa-
sion to call with the key of her room door to her husband,
who was a watchman in the College, and on her return
she found the box laid down near to the pump, but not
knowing what it might contain, she let it remain where it
was.

Mr. TIIISELTON ordered her to be remanded for a week,
and notice of the circumstance to be given to the Co.
roner.

A man named Charles Daniels applied to the Bench for
relief under the following circumstances. He said he had
served in the East India Company for sixteen years and
a.half, from which he was discharged at Fort William,
in the Presidency of Bengal. On arriving in this country
he made application for whatever sum of money he might
be entitled to, but was informed that none was due, and he
received 3s. to meet his present exigencies: This hap-
pened twelve days back, and being in want of the neceg-
saries of life, he applied to the Magistrates at Marlborough
street, by whom he was sent for relief to the parish autho-
rities of St. Giles's, who refused to admit him into the
workhouse.

Mr. TIIISELTON inquired if he had any document to
show that he had ever been in the Company's service, and
the cause of his being discharged?
The applicant handed in his discharge, signed by a sur-
geon, by which it appeared he was unfit for service, as he
was afflicted with an enlargement of the liver, and on the
back of the paper was written a certificate of his good
conduct during the time he had been in the service.
Mr. TITISSLTON said that if he memoralized the Direc-
tors of the Company, setting forth the strong claims he
had upon them, there was no doubt it would meet with the
attention it deserved, as they were remarkable for the li-
berality they showed to their servants, but the only thing
he could do for him was to give him a letter to the work-
house, as a fit and proper object of relief.
The applicant was then handed 35., with the letter of
recommendation, and having thanked the Magistrate re-
tired.

CORN.—CAMBRIDGE CAPS.—The labours of
the council of the Anti-Corn-law League were this morn-
ing, Tuesday, interrupted by the arrival of Mr. Shearman
from Cambridge, bearing a large blue sack, the contents
of which, upon being emptied upon the table, proved to be
the remains of university caps and gowns, (the former very
much broken, and the latter torn,) together with the frag-
ments of divers benches and chairs, which were gathered
up by him after the riot in the theatre at Cambridge. As
many of our plodding neighbours have yet to learn how the
members of our learned corporations dress, we invite all
who are curious in matters of academic costume to inspect
the contents of our blue hag. But still more do we invite
those parents and gu,rdians who may think of sending
their youth to Cambridge, to inspect these evidences of the
kind of discip!ine their minds are likely to undergo at that
university. —Manchester Paper.
The " Anti-Corn-law Circular," animadverting
on the recently committed outrage at Cambridge by the
unfledged ruffians in gowns and caps, says, " Let us hear
no more about the violence of Chartists; their meetings
have been conducted with decency, when compared with
the outrageous language, and the attrocious attempt at
physical force, and probably murder, by these collegians."

in a letter to a friend, states :hat,. at La B, rgeli,, in
Queen's County, where he Wit, on •11,y 7th of January,
he found, lying under the branch of an ash tree which'
had been blown down, two of the largest tit-mice (Ps°
major), and that in Dublin he saw a specimen of the
peregrine falcon (falco peregrinis), that met• with its
death on the same occasion. From a newspaper report
of the devastation committed by the hurricane at. Down'
hill, in the county of Londonderry, it appears that a sibb
blown from the mausoleum cut completely in two poor
hare that was sheltering beneath it.
We shall here copy.one passage relative t,, other
effects of this remarkable hurricane :
In a letter from Viscount Cole, doted Hazelwood,
Jan. 14, 1839, is the following passage I men'
tion underneath a curious fact hardly to be believed,
but which two decent men would testify by affida-
vit—that on the morning after the hurricane a great
quantity of perch fry were found thrown up biO
and dry two yards, and some more, on the grassf
shore of Church Island in Lough Gill, or Hazlewood
Lake, in the county of Sligo.' In a note with which I
was subsequently favoured, Lord Cole remarked, that
he had heard' of several roach being thrown up 00
an island in Lough Earn on the night of the great
storm. On the 24th of January, Robert Ball, Esq"
wrote me from Dublin to the effect—that after the
late hurricane the dead bodies of rooks to the arnaziof
number of 33,000 (as a matter of curiosity the number
was reckoned by some boys) were picked up on the'
shores of a lake, some miles in extent, and with este'''
sive rookeries on its borders, in the county of West,:
meath ; and that in the same locality numbers of perch
were thrown to some distance into the fields. Tile a,"
r
most. incredible mortality of rooks induced me to sn,„.`lke
further inquiry, when I was informed that Dean
nolles (on whose property the circumstance occurred,)
states that the number of these birds above-mentione4
were certainly destroyed. This gentleman bloc/jag
submitted to Mr. Ball's inspection a more than ordiP
narily strong panel of a new window shutter, which wor
driven in and broken through by a rook dashing, °r
perhaps rather from being dashed against it 013 the
night in question. He further mentioned that some tnr
the perch were found as far as fifteen yards from the
edge of the lake."
