PETITIONS AGAINST THE CORN LAWS.—The
Committee of Operatives in Bradford and the neigh-
bourhood sent off to London, yesterday, about 50
petitions against the Corn Laws, to which, in the ag-
gregate, were upwards of 2000 signatures, to be ready
for presenting on the opening of Parliament. Nume-
rous other and similar petitions from the same place
are in great forwardness, and iil be transmitted to
Members of Parliament, who are known to coincide in
sentiment on this subject with the Petitioners, from
time to time, as they are completed, till the question is
discussed.—Leeds Intelligencer.

A few days since, a smuggling vessel landed her
crop in the following singular manner, viz.:--after
coming to an anchor off Cromer, the preventive men
on that station launched their boat to examine what
she had on board, suspecting that she was a smuggler;
on the preventive men entering the vessel, they were
taken and secured on board the smuggler until they
ran her crop—having their party on shore ready to
carry it way ; the crop being all landed, they released
the men and gave them their own boat, but took the
precaution to break every oar they had in the boat to
prevent pursuit.—Boston Gazette.
The assembling of Parliament in November will give
the new Speaker, whoever he may be, his salary nearly
three months sooner than it would otherwise commence.
The now buildings on Earl Grosvcnoes Estate, on
the western side of Pimlico, advance rapidly. In a
short time it will be a complete street from the Turn-
pike up to Little Chelsea. The progress of building
on the other side, on the bank of the Thames, is not
less rapid. Several handsome new houses have been
built on that scite, and the ground prepared for others,
by mounds of earth, extending into the neighbouring
gardens. These mounds are nearly as high as the ad-
jacent detached old houses, which appear as if the
place had suffered from all earthquake.
A bottle, containing a slip of paper,with the follow-
ing incription, was picked up last Wednesday morn-
ing, in the river Dee, a little below the town. of Kirk-
cudbright :

" Earth to earth, and dust to dust !"
Here the evil and the just,
Hers the youthful and the old,
Here the fearful and the bold,
Here the matron and the maid,
In one silent bed are laid ;
Here the vassal and the king
Side by side lie withering ;
Hers the sword and sceptre rust—
" Earth to earth, and dust to dust !"
Age on age shall roll along
O'er this pale and mighty throng;
Those ahat wept them, those that weep►
Ail shall with these sleepers sleep.
Brothers, sisters of the worm,
Summer's eon, or winter's storm,
Song of peace, or battle's roar,
Ne'er shall break their slumbers more.
Death shall keep his sullen trust—
" Earth to earth, end dust to dust !"
But a day is coming fast,
Earth, thy mightiest and thy last,
It shall come in fear and wonder,
Heralded by trump and thunder ;
It shall come in strife and toil.

It shall corns in blood and spoil,
It shall come in empires' groans,
Burning templet', trampled thrones:
Then, ambition, rue thy lust !
„ Earth to earth, and dust to dust !"
Then shall some the judgment sign ;
In the eeet the King shall shins ;
Flashing from heaven's golden gate,
Thousand thousands round his state ;
Spirits with the crown and plains,
Tremble then thou, sullen tomb !
Heaven shall open on our sight,
Earth be turu'd to living light,
Kingdoms of the ransotn'd just—
" Earth to earth, anti dust to dust !"
Then thy Mount, Jentsalem,
Shall be gorgeous as a gem ;
Then shall in the desert rise
Fruits of more than Paradise ;
Earth by angel feet be trod ;
One great garden of her God ;
Till are dried the the martyr's Leant,
Through a glorious thousand years.
Now in hope of Hint wit trust.
" Earth to earth, and dust to dust !"
