A very distressing accident happened at Tockenham,
vicar Wootton Bassett, on Monday week. Two children belonging to
a cottager named Sl:use were amusing themselves in an outhouse ad-
joining the cottage, which by some means caught fire, and the unfortu-
nate children, no doubt being frightened, instead of leaving the flames,
ran into one corner of the house. The father, who happened to be near,
assisted by his neighbours, proceeded to extinguish the fire, but had not
the least idea the children were there, until the flames were nearly sub-
dued, when he had the heart-rending sight of his two children burned
to death, and disfigured in a most shocking manner. The leg of one of
them was actually burnt off, and the head and bowels presented a dreadful
spectacle. The mother of the children, who is subject to fits, had gone to
Wootton Bassett, and was seized the same morning.— Wills Independent.
The following specimen of the Assembly's cant, is
copied from the Aberdeen Herald's report of the Rev. Mr. Lorimer's
discourse. In referring to the Government mode of setting the Exten-
sion hoax at rest, he said—" Whatever transient political interests may
be served by such an arrangement as that which the Government pro.
pose, the sacrifice is an awful one—there is not only the sacrifice of con-
sistency, which is, comparatively speaking, a stnall matter—there is
not only the sacrifice of a vast body of the people, who have the strong-
est upon the sympathy and compassion of Government—there
is
the
of great Scripture principles, principles for which our
fathers would have died. Abandon the principle of an Establishment
in the large towns, and what is this but to attempt to strip our exalted
Redeemer of one of his hard earned crowns—King of nations—and
„ripping him, too, in a conspicuous place, where all may see the in-
sult ; dishonouring him in those places of the battle-field where he
should, if possible, be most highly honoured.—(Hear, hear.) After
this, can we expect his blessing? And without it, what are all Go-
vernments and political parties—where their safety—where their suc-
cess ? 1 pity the Government, Sir, from the bottom of my heart.—
(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Never had men, in the history of our
country, such a noble opportunity of doing something for Christ on a
mighty scale—of transmitting His name and their name with honour to
unborn generations, and yet they have thrown it away as a thing of
nought' How fine would it have been, when so many professed minis-
ters of the Gospel, of whom better things might have been expected,
were casting great principles to the winds of heaven, if laymen in high
places had been found standing up manfully for the integrity of God's
Word, and rebuking their folly; but they have missed the golden advan-
the honour of extending the kingdom of the tage—Saviour, it would
seem, is reserved for other hands. It is said, " there is' joy in heaven
over one sinner that repented)," but such joy, it would seem, is not to be
theirs—it is said, " the blessing of him that is ready to perish shall de-
scend upon those who minister to his necessities," but such blessing, it
would seem, is not to descend upon the head of our Government." How
nicely the parsons contrive to identify the pecuniary interests of their
order with the cause of religion. The Whig Government have missed
the opportunity of doing something for Christ (mark the horrible pro.
fanity !), because they will not rob a poor, over-taxed nation to fill the
pockets
of a pack of idle probationers !
ABOLITION OF TITHES.—(From the Waterford
Chronicle.)—On Sunday, another of those manifestations of the people's
deep-rooted detestation to Tithes, in name and in substance—and of
their resolve never willingly to contribute towards the maintenance of a
Church from whose doctrines they dissent, was made at Kilmacthomas,
a village about thirteen miles from this city. The meeting was called
by public requisition ; and from an early hour the roads leading to the
village were thronged by thousands eager and anxious to send forth
their voices against the unholy and bloodstained system, and to emu-
late, if not to surpass by their earnest ardour, the displays re-
cently made in Wexford and Kilkenny. From every parish of
the Eastern division of this county, the landed proprietors, Pro.
testant as well as Catholics—the farmers and peasantry, poured
in in countless numbers to petition Parliament once more, and for
the last time, for a total and unqualifiedemancipation from the ititolera
me yoke. We have witnessed the memorable exhibitions made against
the
a.gainst
the desecrated system in the neighbouring and
counties ; though in ttu.
merical strength these may have been more imposing, yet in every thing
else from Iv! •
n
resolution ett a notion of popular hatred to Tithes, and of inflexible
never to pay them, may be gleaned—this was in every scnse
equal if nots
superior. • The place selected fur holding the meeting was
partieularlY appropriate, inasmuch as the associations blended with it
forcibly broughtcountry,in
oche:
to mind the successful exertions of the people of this
:days, to trample upon a long dominant faction, op-
posed to their rights and liberties.
POLEMICAL.---Seventeen columns of Tuesday's
Dublin Evening post with are occupieda report of the controversy now
in progress at the Rotunda in Dublin. The journal referred to laments
the sacrifice of so large a portion of its space, observing that there is,
however,tanno help for it, since " the demand of the public is impera.
most
states " that the indecencies of Mr. Gregg are
mo
of the st odious kind, and but for the presence of the police would
certainly be productive of outrage." Adding, "It may become a oues
tion with the local authorities to put a period to this discussion. We.
are satisfied that the threat of Mr. 'jangle, one of the Chairmen, to
pro-
long
the debate ad infinitum, must be resisted from the proper quarter.
As to It
-Ir. Maguire, he is certainly not to blame for the tone of recrimi-
nation to which he Was provoked. The Established Church is suffering
grievouslybetween most
them."
The C
ourn•er de la Limomne gives the following
circumstances
of a horrible murder committed at Rioin by an idiotic
man, named Vidal, on the person aids sister. From the preference
shown by his parents he had long conceived an inveterate jealousy to.
wards her, and wished to be revenged. On the :2.3,1 ult. they were left
at home by the father and mother, who, on their return found their
daughter murdered. Suspicion instantly fastened on the son, who at
once confessed the deed, and related that, a quarrel having arisen between
them, he knocked his •
sister down, knelt on her, and gave per several
wounds in the throat with an old knife; and as she still showed signs of
life, he beat her on the head and body with his spade till he fractured her
skull, and she was completely dead. He afterwards threw the body
near a trough outside the house where some pigs were feeding, and then
proceeded to his father • •breakfast,the key of the with his leaving le
house with a neighbour's child, desiring it to tell his mother, if she
came
home, that his sister thepigs. He was

ately arrested and secured.

A. gentleman being► about to purchase a horse of
Mr. Elliott, of the Duke of York, Loughborough, on Thursday week,
John Abbey (who was intoxicated) undertook to show its paces, and
while galloping the spirited creature at a tremendous rates, came in con-
tact with a cart, one of whose shafts penetrated the shoulder of the ani-
mal five or six inches. The passengers in the cart were injured by the
vehicle being overturned, and Abbey was hurled to the ground with such
viol,nce that little hope is entertained of his recovery. The horse
(which was worth 301. or 401) is also so much injured that it is feared it
will pot recover.—Leicestershire ltlercury.
