LONDON:
THURSDAY MORNING, JtNE 2, 1842.

Some of our Contemporaries seek consolation, under
the national affliction of another attempt to assassinate
her MAJESTY, by describing the assassin as insane. To
us that affords no consolation. Whatever state of mind
prompts such attacks, their effects are equally dis as-
trolls. Her MAJESTY'S life and the peace of society are
Ntually endangered. To refer them to insanity, rat her
than to political enthusiasm, or political machination,, is
only to refer them to an exception to the general la/ ;s
of mind ; and to extinguish the hope, without lessening,
in the least degree, the dread of danger that, 'by
bringing them under those laws, we may remove !the
cause. For insanity there is no cure ; the exacerbatiit ns
of political feelings may be put an end to by retires ;tug
political grievances. For her MAJESTY'S sake, and'. in
ardor that we may hope that such diabolical acts • will
not be repeated, we are inclined to discourage the opin ion
that they spring from insanity.

But, whatever be their cause, one of the best Cu res
for either political insanity or political enthusiasm is
rectitude in the rulers of society. LA there be no de-
ceit in them, and there will be little in the people. _ Get
them not deal in exaggeration, and the public mind 1611
be calm. Let them be truthful, and the people .will
despise falsehood. We regret, however, to say that th IR se
qualities aro not always found in them, and that -we
notice their absence on even so solemn an occasion; as
offering an Address to her MAJESTY on the preserval avn
of her life.

The Address, to which the Lords and the Comm ions
unanimously agreed, said, we are " attached to '0 or
MAJESTY by a sense of the benefits we derive from tc,iir
Majesty's just and wild Government." Now, everybody
knows that these -words convey a false idea. Roy IV ty
has in fact, and in truth, become in England one of fhose
simulacri of which Mr. CARLYLE speaks—a name, aso and,
a mere show, and nothing more. A deep feeling of re: ;pea
for her MAJESTY, and a sincere wish that this couragrus
and noble-minded lady may live a long and a happy•Me,
require us to remind the much-suffering- people of E
nh-
land that this part of the Address is not 21 truth, and-that
her MAJESTY has little or nothing to do with alv. Go-
vernment. Be its character what it miay, be it jus4 and

//t_

mild, or unjust and cruel, it is not, except in form
and name, the Government of her MAJESTY. It is the
Government of the aristocracy, the Government of the
two Houses of Parliament, the Government of Sir R.
PEEL and the Duke of WELLINGTON.

So little is it the Government of her MAJESTY that she
cannot even appoint the Ministers who carry it on. Tun
months have not yet elapsed since we saw a complete
change made in them, contrary, as the public believes, to
her MAJESTY'S inclination, and accompanied by the
sudden stoppage of a benevolent policy, which was said to
have met with her MAJESTY'S approbation, and promised,
as many of her suffering subjects believed, to lessen their
urgent distress. There are thousands—it is not even an
exaggeration to say millions—of mature beings in this
empire, who are suffering mist grievous poverty and
destitution, and who believe, and have asserted i❑ peti-
tions to the House of Commons, that the GOVERNMENT,.
not of her MAJESTY, but of the aristocracy, is the cause
of their distress. It is not only, therefore, false, it is;
unjust and cruel to a noble-minded Lady, to speak of the
Government as her Government, and direct against her
the unmitigated and embittered hostility which the
people entertain for those who deny them their political
rights, and tax their food.
"When we remember that those who thus speak of the
" just and mild Government," really speak of themselves,
there is much vain self-laudation in the passage, if there
be not a little cowardice in sheltering their own deed
under the name of her MAJESTY. To speak now of our
just and mild Government is a mockery which will be
tolerated only by the sycophants of those in power, in the
mouths of those who compose it. When the people are
actually starving, that Government has passed a law to
deprive them of food. It persists in levying enormous
taxes on their meat, cheese, and butter, not to suppo
the State, but to enrich a class. To speak of that Govern-
ment as just, is a terrible want of truthfulness, which mu
have the most pernicious effects. In private life
scrupulous adherence to truth is essential to well-bein
an lit is not possible that public affairs can be well
managed by totally disregarding it. The passage of the
solemn Address we have quoted, is a mere fiction, and
both loyalty to her MAJESTY, and duty to the public, re-
quire that it should be held up to censure.

As some of our Contemporaries already demand the
blood of I'RANCIS, and ascribe his audacity to the lenity
shown to OXFORD, we think it a duty to remind the
public, that treason and murder are two of the very few
crimes which the law still punishes with death. Whe-
ther the two miscreants be insane or not, the fact that the
dread of such punishments will not give security to her
MAJESTY, is proved by their attempts. That taking life
at the gallows does not contribute to make men hold the
aking of life in abhorrence is quite certain. Independently,
herefore, of the arguments which we stated on Tuesday,
or giving as little notoriety and as little eclat as possible
to such infectious attempts, these considerations make it
very doubtful whether it be for the public advantage to
execute such wretches AS OXFORD and FRANCIS. At
least, we will not call for the blood of the guilty man. ,

PERILOUS ST.ITE OF BURNLEY.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
At Burnley yesterday I had sad accounts of the state of the,
people. It. seems that the Guardians in that union have re—
presented to the Secretary of State that the distress is far be-
y6nd the reach of their means of relief ; they have 12,000
persons on their books, and must leave the matter in the hutch,
of the Government.

Sir James Graham has sent down a special Commissioner.
Sir John Walsh, I heard, who has written fnr 500/., which
has been distributed, and more is forthcoming. A fearful
struggle has taken place between sinews and machinery, and the
latter has been unsuccessful.

Toe price of weaving has come down to sd. per piece for
reed. A man can earn only 71d. per day in full
work, out of which ha has to pay expenses. At this price
machinery even has no chance ; but look at the condition of
,he miserable devils, 3s. 91 per week at best in full work !
Of course, they cannot support themselves at this rate, and go
to the Guardians. The relief under the new Poor•law is found
to be totally inatioquate, and great alarm is felt.
The Alagistrates in the neighbourhood are conveniently nut
at home, and I look to an outbreak.

The greatest apprehensions are entertained. On Sunday,
it is said, 20,000 people met at Enfield.

CLOSING OF THE BOSPHORUS

AND DARDANELLES.
A letter has been received at Lloyd's from the Admiralty,
enclosing a despatch from her Majesty's Consul at Constan-
tinople, Sir Stratford Canning, announcing the closing of the
Dardanelles and Bosphorus to merchant steam-vessels after
sunset, of which the following is a copy
Constantinople, May 2, 1842.
" My Lord,—The Porte has sent a circular to the different
legations here, informing them that orders are given at the
Dardanelles and Bosphorus to prevent the passage of merchant
steam-vessels after sunset. I have the honour to enclose here-
with a copy of this paper. The regulation may he attended
with occasional inconvenience to those affected by it, and in
the absence of any urgent cause for th© measure, it may, per-
haps, be regarded as one of the many results of the reactive
p )licy adopted by the present Turkish Administration. Be
that as it may, 1 do not see npon'what grounds I could justly
oppose the measure ; above all, as I should probably be the
sole opponent of it, with less reason for doing so than the
French and Austrian Ministers, for instance, who have to
protect the numerous steam•packets navigating under their
respective flags. But I have requested that an exception may
be made in favour of vessela arriving under stress of weather,
and seeking shelter within the entrance of the Straits; and I
have the Reis Effendi's assurance that the Porte will comply
ith my suggestion. I have, &c.

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.—Cap-
tain Elliot, the recently appointed Consul-General at the Re-
public of Texas, who has acquired so much notoriety from the
manner in which he managed affairs in China, has taken his
departure this afternoon fur the seat of his future dinlomatic
exertions, in the Clyde Royal \Vest India Mail steamer, which
got under weigh, and left this port between one and two ocicck-
The Clyde will touch at Falmouth to take in her mail-bags.,
thence she will proceed to Corunna, Madeira, and Barbados&

Among her cargo she has 400 bottles of quicksilver, for mining
operations. The Great Liverpool steamer, belonging to the.
Oriental and Peninsula Steam-ship Company, took her depar..
tore for Malta and Alexandria, between twelve and one o'clock:
this afternoon. She carries out about forty passengers, includ-
ing several officers who are about to join their respective regit.

Bennet, and Green, and Lieutenants Bambridge and Wright.
The Great Liverpool will touch at Falmouth to take in the
mail for Malta and for India by the overland route.
JOHNSTOWN, COUNTY OF KILKENNY, SUNDAY.--
A most melancholy catastrophe occurred here last night, or
early this morning. Mr. George Healy, a gentleman possessed
of about 5,000/. a year, was burned to death in his own resi-
dence, and a great portion of the house, which was a very firm"
one, was consumed. A coroner's inquest is about being hottl,-
I believe there is no doubt that the fire was accidental.—.pret.

Pierson has caused an inconceivable gloom to be cast over this

tress, will be caused to those upon whom a sudden cid must
now be made by the inspectors, who have undertaken to wind
lip the affairs of the bank. A meeting ot 'the creditors 'took place
on the 20th ult., the Rev. F. Sullivan. in the chair, t.hen Mr.

Dsr-
fFORD DOCKYARD.—Yesterday forenoon, at
tweir
e o'clock, Sir George Francis Seymour, and the liisLit
,i'in. Thomas L. Corry, Lords of the Admiralty, accompanied
oy the Hon. Robert Dundas, Storekeeper-General, and
several officers of the Ordnance Department, arrived at the
Victualling-yard, Deptford, for the purpose of witnessing the
trial of several new fire-engines, intended for her Majesty's
dock-yards, and other Government establishments. The of :e-
-rations were under the direction of Mr. Braidwood, the super-
intendent of the Fire Brigade force, who attended at the
desire of the Beard of Admiralty, with a detachment of fire-
men. The first exhibited was a powerful iron-floating engine,
manned by 120 convicts, which was moored in the basin
alongside one of the large sheds on the eastern side of the
dockyard. When in full play, it threw a column of water
:In inch and three-quarters in d ameter completely over the
shed where her Majesty's ship Worcester, 50 guns, is lying,
at a rate of 400 gallons per minute. This was continued
for a considerable time, the foremen at the branches now
and then eirecting the jet of water perpendicularly in the
air, by which it was tin oan to. the height of nearly 100 feet.
Two land engines were next tr ed, each 7 inches in the bar-
rel, and by joining these ti gether—that is, their power
thrown into one branch-pipe—a great elevation was obtained,
with a fine jet of water, at a rate of 180 gallons per minute.
The floating-engine supplied them with water, by means
of several hundred feet of hose, and with complete success.
Two other powerful engines were next tried, and worked satis-
factorily. A newly-invented hose-pipe for an engine. branen
was introduced by Mr. Braidwood to the notice of Sir George
Seymour and the rest of the members assembled, to be used in
cases of fire on board ship. It is of a peculiar construction,
being full of holes. It was placed through an aperture in the
platform, fronting the bows of the Worcester, and upon the
engine being got into play it sent forth innumerable jets of
eater, with great force. At the conclusion of the operations,
which occupied upwards of two hours, their Lordships re-
tired. It was stated that Government intended to adopt a
brigade force throughout the entire dock-yards, not only for the
protection of those establishments, but to render assistance at
any tire that may occur elsewhere.
EAUMARIS.—FOURTEEN
AWFUL OCCURRENCE AT B
PE: il soNs DROWNED. BEAUMALRIS, MAY 30.—A melancholy
occurrence took place hero this day, between eleven and twelve
o'clock, by the upsetting of the ferry-boat, which has been
accustomed to take a number of persons across the channel
to the Lavin Sands to collect cockles. When returning, at
the commencement of fowl, with, as near as can be (-adu-
lated, fifteen individuals es board, the boat, a small one, shipoii
a quantity of water, when some of the passengers mov d
suddenly to the opfosite side, causing her to upset, vvlien,
mi,lancholy to relate, only one individual escaped, by swimming
back to the sands, a distance of about 200 yards. Five a the
unfortuoate persons were picked up in about twenty minutes,
but life was wally extinct. Nine were picked up at low water,
making fourteen in all. Much blame is attached to the un-
fortunate fern man. who lost his life, in not taking the proper
11.,,y-boat, which was at hand, instead of a small boat, which
he usually went in, and which was the cause of the melancholy
accident.—Shipping Gazette.
in t 1 e once bustling town of New Brentford such
is now t-e gi eat depression of property that the churchwardens
and over eirs li,ve the greatest possible difficulty in collecting
the rates. So great is the amount of the arrears from the last
pair-rites, that the new overseers speak of being obliged to
apply for a fresh rate of 7s. in the pound. The amount of
pauperism is daily increasing. Some of the inhabitant house-
holders, in anticipation of a visit from the Rev. Dr. Stoddart
(the truly excellent Vicar) and the churchwardens,
have posted
bills in their windows, announcing that " The Licensed Beg-
gal a, acting under the authority of the Queen's Letter, are re-
quested not to call at this house.'
