TH.4_IIES-OFFICE.

Margaret Hayes, alias Carr, was cha-gel with
attempting to commit suicide. It appeared t the
unfortunate creature, a victim of seduction, had been
deserted by her betrayer, and for some time had
dragged on a miserable existence in the Match Walk,
ShadweP. On Welnesday she preferred a charge be-
fore the Magistrate, against a woman who had cut her
head open with a jug, and otherwise brut illy used her,
but then forgave her assailant, who was consequently
discharged. The prisoner had since suffered much from
the wound in her heal, her mind seemed affected, and
being seven months gone in pregnancy, and without a
fr,end or a penny, she flung herself from the swivel-
bridge into the London dock. A Thames Police con-
stable, named Jones, heard the splash, procured a hook,
and fortunately soon succeeded in extricating her. She
was conveyed to a public house, and, with medical aid,
resuscitated, after which she was taken to Wapping
Workhouse. The prisoner now expressed contrition,
and said the injuries in her head had so affected her,
that she scarce knew what she did.

The MAGISTRATE athnonished tho poir woman, and
ordered her to be again taken to the workhouse.

ARTESIAN WELL AT SOUTHAMPTON —The
contractors for this work have now reached the depth of
76 fathoms, or 456 feet. To those of our readers who
are not adepts at measurement, it will give some idea of
the depth of this well, when we state that it consider-
ably exceeds in depth the height of either St. Paul's,
Chichester, or Salisbury Cathedrals ; is more than
double the height of the Monument in London, and
nearly three times the height of St. Michael's Church,
in Southampton. There are, it is true, in the ruining
districts many shafts which very much exceed in depth
the shaft now sinking in the common ; but we are not
aware of any shaft being sunk in the' United Kingdom
of so large a diameter (some portion of it being upwards
of fifteen feet), to so great a depth through
the chi) s and
sands overlaying the chalk, and lined as this is, with solid
brickwork set in Homan cement, or with stout cast iron
cylinders. The difficulties with which the contractors
have had to contend have been of no ordinary kind, and
notwithstanding every precaution the obstacles met with
have been such as to cause the frequent choking of
pumps, breaking of rods, and damage to the steam--
engines. It is now, however, the oFinioa of those •
competent to form a judgment on the subject that the
shaft is within twenty or thirty feet of the chalk, and
preparations are now making for passing through the
green sand usually found overlaying the chalk, at
great depths, under the plastic clay formation. Addi-
tional pumps and apraratus are prepared and now
being placed at the bottom of the shaft, which pumps
are so arranged that they will afford the means of
raising the water from the great depth of 600 feet from
thu surface, should the Commissioners deem it desirable
to do so, and this too without altering the pumping
arrangement in the upper part of the works. We con-
gratulate the inhabitants of Southampton on the prospect
of success likely to attend this great undertaking ; and
we foul it important to notice, that while the London
and Westminster Water Company are circulating their
prospectuses for raising a capital of some hundreds of
thousands of pounds, and promising a supply of water
from the chalk of the London Basin for a much larger
number of houses than there are inhabitants in this
town, the rate-payers here have proceeded thus far in
obtaining fro:n the chalk of the Hampshire Basin a sup-
ply of pure water at a comparatively cheap rate.—

PEEPING rOM.—In pursuance of an order
given at the last meeting of the Town Council, that an-
cient block called " Peeping Tom of Coventry," has been
repainted and gilt, and put up again in the same hole to
face all weathers. Those who have had the superinten-
dence of this important business, have seen fit materially
ti alter Tom's position, by placing him more erect, show-
ing him at greater length, and thereby exhibiting the
stumps of his arms and the waistband of his breeches.
This is certainly change, but not improvement ; and the
bad taste of the job is finished by tying round the neck of
the figure a paltry orange neckerchief.
SINGULAR MAN.--One day lately, a clergy
man qut the question to a married woman in this place—
" Did all mankind fall in Adam's first transgresmon: •
To which the woman replied, " As for other folk, Sir
how they stand, I cannot tell ; but one thing I ken, the
my man never fell in Adam's first transgression, for ht
told me that he never ate fruit of any kind all the day(
of his life ; so that ye see, Sir, he has uaetbing to d.
with Adam at all."—Stirling ()Wryer.

THE RATIONAL Ci•iARTI!!,TS.
AN ADDRESS OF A FEW CHAtifIsTS IN HUDDERS-
FIELD AND ITS VICINITY TO THE PATRIOTS STRUE3-
GLING FOR FREEDOM, WHO HAVE DRAWN UP THE
PLAN WHICH HAS BEEN TERMED IN DERISION THE
" NEW MOVE."
Thrice is he armed who bath his quarrel just;
And he but naked, though lock'd up in steel,
Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted.
SDAKspEARE.

GENTLEMEN—Accept our warmest thanks for the ho-
nest, boll, and graightforward manner in which you have,
for a number of years, stoodarcong the foremost to plead
the cause of the working millions against avowed foes,
on one baud, and professed tri,nds on the other.

We cannot allow the present opportunity to pass
without testifying our entire al.probation of the plan
above, referred to ; and, at the same time, we feel as-
sured you will go on through good and through ill re-
port, until we finally gain the goal of freedom.
It is rather curious to see how some men are striving
to connect the Lew move with one concocted by Messrs.
Hume, Place, and Co., hut " no more like it, than Ito
Hercules." What their motives are, we leave to Hea-
ven and their own consciences.

The " new move," as we understand it, does not
clash against any of the old " move.," but is merely an
addition to them, such as schools for education, &c.
One would think by yo' r opponen's' arguments, that
" izeorance is bl.ss ;" If so, " 'tis folly to be wise."
Calling to mind your sacrifices in the cause of a free
and unshackled Press, and your straightforward conduct
since, we cannot but look with a jealous eye to reports
so industriously circulated against you, without evidence
and without proof.
