so strong as this, at a moment when union is most to hi'
desired, if we were not convinced that there are times
when a party can oi;le be saved by the, wholesome severity
of truth. Last week we bell: Ned that the moderation of
the Radicals would be met with corresponding liberality by
the Whigs. We wished to build a golden bridge for finality
—the flying enemy of both. The country wished it. The
generous sympathy with which the people have rallied round
the Queen, pointiag out to her in every address the means,
by which she can render her position impregnable, by iden-
tifying the Government that sustains her own rights with
the great cause of Rational Reform—proves the sound-
ness and strenzth of the feeling upon which we railed. 130
if these feelings are to bp again checked, and ch illed, by
evasions, dilatoriness, and delays, in order to sp are the
pride of individuals, by giving them more leist.'re for,
modification, not of. opinion, but of system— which
all know must be made—we say again that tn;
moment for a reconcilion of parties will be lost, A'r
that the Whigs have pledged themselies to a task,
which they will inevitably fail. They are wrong if they
think they can fight the Queen and Finality against Tory:,
organization and Ra(4ical discontent. They are wrong
they believe that without popular concessions they can rely
upon popular aid. They are wrong if they imagine that
they could risk an election, under present circumstances
without discredit, and positive loss. They were wrong
above all, if, when out of office, they accepted (ace
again without any definite understanding, as to the mode
in which their new obligations could be discharged...".

On Wednesday afternoon a most distressing
accident occurred at the works of Messrs. Wm. Adam and
Sun, Milnbank. While a woman of the name of Ellen
Al• Lean was endeavouring to replace a weight that had
fallen from the levers of the squeezers, she unfortunatelY
slipped a toot, and her clothes being seized hold of by two
spur wheels, she was drawn in and crushed to death so ie•
stentaneously that the exclemation " Oh I" was all she
had time to utter.—Glasgow Chronicle.
STRIKING SCENE.—A rencontre (not of the
most pleasant sort) took place in Basinghall-street on Friday
forenoon between eleven and twelve o'clock, much to the
amusement of the bystanders, and to the enlivening of the
usual dullness of the place, between two young mercantile
gentlemen (apparently Germans), in which the assailant
(who seemed very much excited) most unmercifully horse
whipped the other for full thirty seconds, without any resist
ance being offered by the sufferer; who, on being asked
why he did not give the party its charge, merely rePhed
" What should I gain by that ?"—he is a fool." The as-
sailant, after the other bad taken refuge in a mercantile
house, loaded him with the most scurrilous epithets' ex.;
claiming, " You coward, you have stopped my credit 1
have come two hundred miles to do this, and have
it publicly in the face of your friends! Give me in charge

ARAB FORTITUDE.—A curious instance of
Arab fortitude occurred recently in a reconnaisance lately
made between Blida and Beni Mehid, when the
hearing the tramp of horses a short distance in ad' ance,
cried Qui Viva. They were answered by several musket
shots, and on proceeding to the spot whence they were
fired, no one was to be seen, but there appeared a thicket
videttes
strongly entwined with the mastic tree. The soldiers
sounded it with their bayonets, till one of them met~ a
degree of resistance to his point, which induced a closer
search. On clearing away the branches, they found aw
Arab woman, and & child between ten and twelve years old,
both of whom had received severe wounds, but had never
uttered a single cry. .The woman bad no less than twelve
torn the bayonets, one of which had passed through both
her breasts, and the child was stabbed in one thigh and the
left arm. They were both carried with great care to
Blida, and attended to by the surgeons of the army.—

POLITICS IN THE PULPIT.—On Sabbath
week one of the young parish Clergymen of Paisley,
whose activity in defence of Church and State is not ex-
ceeded by his fame, in the height of his joy at what he
considered the certain accession of the Tories to power,
solemnly thanked the Deity in his public prayer " for the
change in the rulers of the nation that had taken piare•
From not having attended to the news on Sunday morning;
this Tory Divine was earnestly praying for the success 'ld
Normanby and Durham, when all the while he imagine'
himself praying for the success of Wellington and Peel,'"
Glasgow Chronicle.
ELECTION MOVEMENTS.—In the event of a
general election, we understand it is the intention of the
Reformers to bring forward a highly respectable meslber
of their party as a candidate along with Sir Hesketh
,
Fleetwood, our present Member. Should this be came
into effect, we wonder how the Tories wid relish the idea
of' their second(!) candidate.—Preston ObserVer.

TUBINGEN, MAY 13.—We hear, on floo
authority, that the Hanoverian Government has made an
application to that of Wurtemberg, to remove from
offices all the Professor.; of the Faculty of Jurisprude
on account of the principles they have laid down in thel.
opinions on the abolishing of the Constitution of Hangs s 0 I
