ATHER THAMES.

Some tell of the Ocean with his hidden gems,
But we would ',cave a strain for " hither Thames."
Behold the mighty current in its pride !
See the huge ships that float upon its tide!
While the proud river beautifully swells,
It feeds the streams of mercantile canals;
And thus we find, by this majestic tide,
A thousand lesser streamlets are supplied.
How just a semblance is presented, thus,
Of that " vast stream" of trade which " flows" for " us I"
Like " Father Thames" our mighty trading schemes
Replenish, oft, unnumber'd "minor streams."
Though " competition" its "embankments" raise,
To "stem" the " o'ertlowlng course" our trade displays,
Our "inundations" sweep them all away, •
And still success maintains superior sway.
MOSES and SON, like that great river's tide,
Beast a "resource that never shall be dried.
Though thousands " dip" into their " deep'ning stream,"
It still remains" exhaustless" as their theme,
And with abundance shall itever teem.

BIRTH EXTRAORDINARY.—On Sunday, the 25th
inst., at the Zoological Gardens, Regent's-par , Zelda, the.
cara sposa of the Giraffe Selim, of a third son. The mother
and her offspring are doing as well as can be expected.

per to state that heehas always
partaking freely of the ordinary
dishes found upon the tables of the labouring classes, has
sound, refreshing sleep, and has always been in the most per-
fect health; with the exceptions of those slight -coldi, &c., to
which the beit regulated constitutions, are sometimes liable.
Subsequent to his birth, his parents, have had two other
children, who are now well grown and interesting girls, of
nine'and seven years of age. There is nothing in his history
or appearance, or of his family, to give the least clue to the
astonishing. phenomena which he exhibits." So far does the
guardian give his history. He is 25 inches high, and weighs
15 lbs. 2 ounces; he Is twelve years of age, and is as per-
fectly proportioned, as symetrically correct in form as the
ordinary youth of 18 or 19 years of age. Ile is playful in
his manner, acute in all his answers, very observant of all
that passes or is said before him, and takes part in light con=
versation, and even vouchsafes to be jocular. It is usual
that mothers have some reason to assign for these freaks of
nature in their progeny; but it would appear in this instance
the parent has no legend to meet the curiosity of the inqui2.
sitive. The parents were people of the working dais. He
seems to be quite divested of the testiness of temper that
usually is to be noticed in, dwarfs—on the contrary, he is
exceedingly affable, excessively polite, and evinces much of
the finish of good breeding—this is saying a great deal for a
gentleman bred in AMerica, and one, too, who boasts that he
is Yankee by. birth, which is not selecting for himself tho
greatest compliment an American would claim. He pos-
sesses great strength for his stature. He can carry about the
elegant diminutive couch upon which he lolls at his ease. HO
seems to be cheerful and happy in company, is handsomely
dressed in the costume of manhood, and has his fingeni
studded with rings. He is, indeed, altogether a very little
gem of hurnanity, with a comely countenance, and seemingly
a sound constitution.—Morning Advertiser.

EXTRAORDINARY APPREHENSION OP A THEA-
TRICAL COMPANY AND AN AUDIENCE.—III consequence of
information received by the police authorities that some
theatrical performances were carried on nightly at an esta-
blishment near King's-cross, Battle-bridge, where gangs of
young thieves and the worst. of characters congregated,
to the nuisance of the respectable inhabitants, arrangements
were made, under the direction of Mr. Superintendent
Massey, of the G division, for the purpose of making a cap-
ture of the performers and the whole of the parties assem-
bled in the theatre; and Wednesday night, between eight and
nine, a numerous body of the police, accompanied by Mr.
Massey, Inspectors Penny and Barton, Sergeants Archer,
Finck, &c., repaired to the scene of action, where several
officers, some of whom were disguised as butchers, dust-
men, and other characters, had paid for their admission, and
became part of the auditory, for the purpose of giving their
evidence. The entrance of the house in which the enter-
tainments were to be exhibited was fitted up with a prosce-
nium, scenery, and all the paraphernalia of a theatre, with a
door-keeper, and money and check-takers. The exterior was
placarded 'with announcements, that the " Grand melo-
dramatic piece of Maria Marten, or the Red Barn Murder,
with other novel and spendid entertainments, would be ex-
hibited, interspersed with music, singing, gynmastics, tum-
bling, and legerdemain, would take ' place ;' and " only a
penny"
-would be charged to witness the perforniances, which
were "never equalled" in the known world. The audien4
having waited:with great patience, the curtain at length-
rose, when the piece of Maria Marten was com-
menced by automaton figures of the most grotesque
appearance, and were made to move with wires,
so that they "suited the action" to the words, which were
repeated by some one behind the scenes who also worked the
wires. At length the officers, who had been so organised
that it was impossible for anybody to escape, rushed behind
the scenes, captured the whole of the " automaton actors,"
including the wretch " Corder" and his victim Maria
Marten; also the figure of death and all the minor cha-
racters. The scenery, machinery, and decorations were then
seized and packed up, and, together with the audience, door-
keepers, money-takers, and "saloon" keeper, were taken to
the station-honse, followed by an immense crowd of persons,
and the utmost curiosity and interest were excited in the
neighbourhood, and the interior of the station-house had
the appearance of a strolling company's barn, in consequence
of the scenery, dramatic costumes, &c., with which it was
bestrewed. No less than 83 persons, men, women, and
children, consisting of notorious thieves, young prostitutes,
dustmen, sweeps, and parties of the lowest and most debased
kind, were placed at the bar in " batches," and locked up.
Mr. and Mrs. Boulton, who described themselves as come-
dians, it appeared were the " Managers" of the company ;
Henry Frazer, a bald headed old man, who said he travelled
with an exhibition, and was also a comedian, was one of the
principals ; he was recognised as a veteran showman at
13artholomew fair. Mr. Frazer, jun., was also a comedian,
who acted as door-keeper ; Master Wildman, aged 13 years
(in theatrical costume and rouged), was the fidler ; and Mr.
Frederick Barnes and Mr. Sheppard displayed their talents
in gymnastics, legerdemain, the fantastic toe, and the vocal
department, and assisted in the scene shifting, machinery,
&c. They were all committed to durance vile. The taking
down the names and charges, &c., against them occupied
till a very late hour, and crowds of persons assembled round
the station-house, and remained a considerable time before
the/ were dispersed.
SEltious ACCIDENT.—MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—
Yesterday afternoon the inhabitants of Port-street were greatly
alarmed by a tremendous noise proceeding from an iron ware-
house, which is one of the most extensive in the town, and
occupied by Messrs. Horton, Simms, and Bull, proprietors of
the Swades-hill ironworks, Shropshire. It appears that
some men were in a large shed, the roof of which is suil.
ported by ten iron pillars, against each of which large quan-
tities of iron were piled. The men were engaged in " sort-
ing" the iron, and rearing it up against the pillars, when in
an instant, and without the least notice, one of the piles of
iron so laid up against the pillar gave way, and, falling in a
direction towards the next pillar, came in contact with and
carried it away ; the second pillar, when it gave way in
the same manner carried off the third, and so on until
the whole of the five. pillars went in succession, and ulti-
mately came in contact with the gable-end of the shed or
building, and dtbve the whole end of the building, roof and
all, into the canal, which runs close to the warehouse. A
NVoman was standing on the. opposite bank of the canal with
a child in her arms ; a large portion of the falling building
came upon her, threw jier down, and dashed the child out of
her arms into the canal. On being extricated from the ruins
it was found that her thigh-bone was broken, but the child
was got out of the water unhurt. A gentleman who had just
entered the warehouse, to purchase some iron, was buried in
the ruins, and killed on the spot. Another person, named
Wilkinson, who was in the employ. of the company, was also
buried in the ruins and killed, having Nen most shockingly
mutilated. There were five other persons in the shed at the
time, most of whom have received more or less injury. It is
rumoured that another man is still in the ruins. The navi-
gation, of the Rochdale and Manchester Canal is for the
present stopped by the rubbish. The amount of damage will
not exceed 1,0004

THE HERALD, THE STANDARD, AND THE GOVERN-
MENT.—Last night's Standard, in reference .to Mr. Dun-,
combe's proceedings in ' the -House of Commons on Tuesday,
has the following remarks in 'explanation of the duties of the
press to the Ministry of the day :—" Among a variety of
notices of motions' given last night, by different Members of
the House of Commons, is one by our old friend Mr. Thomas
Slingsby Duncombe, representative of the borough of Fin B..
bury, in which the Standard is concerned. The motion is
for a return of all money paid to the proprietors, managers,
conductors, and agents of the Morning Herald andi Standard
newspapers, for the information furnished by them in refe-
rence to the late agitation in: Ireland. How the Ministers
may treat that.motion we are, of course, unable to antici-
pate: but we could most 'earnestly wisk her MAjesty's ser-
vants may feel justified -in granting the return. It is true
that, in every case in which we have been in possession of
information that it might lie important to the public service
to place in the hands of the Government, whether such in-
formation related to foreign or domestic affairs, we have been
careful so to place it, without a moment's delay, because we
consider that our connexion with the press does not in any
manner release us from the duty common to all subjects."—
[This appears to be a rather novel exposition of the duties
of the press, and will at once explain the part which Mr.
Charles Ross undertook to perforce as the representative of.
'the Standahlf and also the motive of the Herald in degrading
its correspondent, Mr. Jackson, from the honourable position
of a newspaper reporter, to the execrable one of Government
spy. The fault was with the Herald, and not with its repre-
sentative. When journals, calling themselves respectable;
and assuming superlative morality, consider such dirty work
as this to be "duty," we leave it to the public to infer the
portion of confidence to be reposed in parties so infamously
betraying a high vocation.)—Morning Advertiser.
