ON THE QUEEN'S LIFE.

Through the kind and active attention of Mr. Aylward and
Messrs. Wilmer and Smith, we were favoured at an early
hour with copies of the London Standard and Sun of last
night, from which we take the following important intelli-
gence :

We have just been informed, by a messenger who left the
Green Park in great haste, that another attempt was made on
the Queen's life, by a young man of respectable appearance,
about 23 years of age, just as her Majesty was returning in a
barouche and four from her evening ride towards Bucking-
ham Palace. All of a sudden the flash of a pistol was observed
by thz bystanders, and instantly the young man was seized.
Fortunately the pistol did not go off, and before a second
attempt could be made he was in custody. indeed he did
not appear to make the attempt, for he put the pistol hur-
riedly into his breast, endeavouring to escape detection. It
does not appear from what we have heard that her Majesty
was at all aware of what had transpired. Singularly enough,
the affair took place about where Oxford made his atrocious
attempt. The prisoner was taken to the Palace Lodge,
under the charge of Colonel Arbuthnot, who was in attend-
ance on her Majesty.
An immense assemblage of gentlemen on horseback and
parties in the Park crowded around the prisoner, and evinced
the most lively anxiety to learn if her Majesty had sustained
any injury, which we are happy to say she did not.
It is also reported that her Majesty was shot at yesterday,
but as the person escaped, no notice was taken of the affair.
The attempt made this evening was communicated by Sir
James Graham to Sir Robert Peel in the House of Commons
about half-past six o'clock.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1842-05-31

PAISLEY

Since the month of July in last year the labouring popu-
lation of Paisley has been suffering from distress, caused by
the stagnation of trade, and the consequent failure of a large
number of firms in that borough.

This distress continued with great severity throughout the
winter, and the spring has not brought that increased de-
mand for goods which might have been expected.
Some of the more skilful weavers have indeed procured
employment, but a large portion of the population still re-
mains dependent on charity.
As many as 12,000 persons have been maintained for seve-
ral months from the contributions collected in England and
Scotland, and even in India.
The poor law of Scotland, as now administered, confers no
effectual right to relief upon men who are able to work, or
upon their families ; at present, therefore, the legal provision
for the relief of the destitute in Scotland is not applicable to
this class of persons, and even if it had been so applicable,
the pressure of so large a number of men without work must
soon have absorbed a considerable proportion of the property
in the borough. _ _

The subscriptions raised in this country, in the county of
Renfrew, the city of Edinburgh, and other parts of Scotland,
are all expended.
. _ .

Thus no legal mode of effectually relieving this mass of
destitution exists, and the charitable feelings of those con-
nected with the place have been taxed to the utmost.

It may be added that these sufferings have for the most part
fallen on a class of workmen whose general earnings, even
in prosperous times, are insufficient to allow of any provision
for future difficulties, and that they have been borne with
patience and fortitude.
May, 1842.

We are glad to learn that the Archbishops of Canterbury
and York, the Bishops of London, Chester, and Ripon, Lords
Stanley and Russell, Sir R. H. Inglis, &c., are members of
the manufacturers' relief committee. We are also happy to
announce that the following contributions have been already
received :—Her Majesty the Queen, £5OO ; the Queen Dow-
ager, £300; Sir Robert Peel, Bart., £200; Sir J. Graham,
£100; the Duke of Buccleuch, £200; Sir Edward Knatch-
bull, £lOO ; the Earl of Ripon, £lOO the Earl of Aberdeen,

COTTON MARKET, MAT 30,

- „
Though we have not so much business doing in Cotton as there
was last week, yet th€ demand continues good, and the trade are
purchasing to a fair extent, though the complaints of non-remu-
nerating prices have not yet ceased to be mad e. On Saturday the
sales amounted to 3500 to 4000 bales, and to-day-they are fully 5000,
at full prices, with a steady but not an animated market, being too
well supplied with all descriptions of Cotton to make it difficult
for purchaSers to-do their business well.

ESTIMATION of his Antibilious Pills, extracted from a
Letter which that gentleman addressed to him in the year
1824 :

" I have ordered the use of your Antibilious Pills in affec-
tions of the stomach, attended with considerable derangement
of the functions of that important organ, and connected with
a torpid state of the liver and bowels, (for to this cause,
chiefly, may he attributed the various diseases of the body,
both local and constitutional,) and I have thus had frequent
opportunities of witnessing their beneficial effects. They
greatly influence the secretion of bile, and act with certainty
and in the most effectual manner on the alimentary organs,
without occasioning pain or irritation. I consider them a
most excellent family aperient medicine, which
may be taken
at all times with perfect safety."
They are prepared by James COCKLE, Surgeonof

dinary to Her Serene Highness the late LANnar le r'"

COTTON MARKIZT,-7WEEKLY REPORT.

There was a good demand from the trade, as well as from
speculators, at the commencement of the week, which, aided by
improved accounts from Manchester, continued up to yesterday,
and a large business was done at better prices ; but as there ap-
peared more disposition to realize at the advance, buyers were less
disposed to increase their purchases, but the market has closed
steady, and an advance of id to id per lb has been established on

BURNLEY

Severe distress likewise prevails extensively at Burnley in
Lancashire, and in the neighbouring district, owing to the
same causes as the distress at Stockport.
in this district less efficient assistance appears to have been
afforded to the settled poor from the poor-rate; and, more-
over, many destitute persons who had migrated thither from
other parts of the country have been deterred from applying
for parochial relief by the fear of removal, in consequence of
thus becoming chargeable.
The funds provided by the law for the relief of ordinary
destitution in England, however ample they may be, can
scarcely be expected to suffice in the depressed state of Stock-
port and Burnley, inasmuch as the resources of the rate-
payers themselves are diminished in nearly the same pro-
portion in which the demands of the working-classes upon
those resources are increased.

ON THE QUEEN'S LIFE.

Through the kind and active attention of Mr. Aylward and
Messrs. Wilmer and Smith, we were favoured at an early
hour with copies of the London Standard and Sun of last
night, from which we take the following important intelli-
gence :

We have just been informed, by a messenger who left the
Green Park in great haste, that another attempt was made on
the Queen's life, by a young man of respectable appearance,
about 23 years of age, just as her Majesty was returning in a
barouche and four from her evening ride towards Bucking-
ham Palace. All of a sudden the flash of a pistol was observed
by the bystanders, and instantly the young man was seized.
Fortunately the pistol did not go off, and before a second
attempt could be made he was in custody. indeed he did
not appear to make the attempt, for he put the pistol hur-
riedly into his breast, endeavouring to escape detection. It
does not appear from what we have heard that her Majesty
wail at all aware of what had transpired. Singularly enough,
the affair took place about where Oxford made his atrocious
attempt. The prisoner was taken to the Palace Lodge,
under the charge of Colonel Arbuthnot, who was in attend-
ance on her Majesty. _ . . .

• •-• d
An immense assemblage of gentlemen on horseback and
parties in the Park crowded around the prisoner, and evinced
the most lively anxiety to learn if her Majesty had sustained
any injury, which we are happy to say she did not.
It is also reported that her Majesty was shot at yesterday,
but as the person escaped, no notice was taken of the affair.
The attempt made this evening was communicated by Sir
James Graham to Sir Robert Peel in the House of Commons
about half-past six o'clock.

(ORIGINAL.)
LINES ADDRESSED TO ST. JUDE'S

BY A YOUNG LADY

ple of God ! I love to trace

In " memory's retrospective gaze,'
le happy hours I've spent in thee,
The spot on earth most dear to me

I've listened there to him, who sought
To teach as he himself was taught ;
For be the Spirit's breath inspired—
Love, fervour, zeal, his bosom tired.

first I heard the voice, " Awake,
-r ! rise for Jesus sake.
Ark as thy soul's terrific might,
Arise, and Christ shall give thee light !'

Tnou

Jesus was there the endless theme
As priests and prophets spake of huff
The star of Jacob, Jesse's rod,—
Both David's son and David's God.

The ark, a retug
TI

.ding lamb; the

prinkled blood

The prl

beiarrayed ;

shadowing forth our glorious head

secrate

genial ties ;
The weeping man beside the grave,
And yet, the mighty God to save !

His work in twofold glory shone ;
As substitute, he stood alone,
Alone in Bozea's wine-press stood,
And stained his raiment o'er with blood

But as in sorrow, weakness, shame,
The bead and members feel the same,
So quenchless sympathy overflows
To him who Christian union knows.

Man helpless, born in sin, and base,
Condemned in Adam's fallen race ;
Jesus in moral motives moves,
And new creates the souls he loves.

And hark ! what means that glorious song
'Tis Zion's sons forsaken long;
Ephraim and Judah join to sing,
And hail their long-expected King.

A Goon EXAMPLE.—The Rev. C. Alderson, Rector of
Kirkheaton, near Huddersfield, at his rent day on Monday
last, made a return of 5 per cent. to each of his tenants.

The Earl of Coventry died on Thursday, at Brighton, in
the 59th year of his age. The title descends to his eldest
son, now in his 35th year of his age.
In several large dairy establishments in the neighbourhood
of Birmingham, the cows are fed and thrive well upon gorse
which is crushed for this purpose into pulp by a small steam-
engine.

Several Romish priests in France have, within the last two
or three years, been led, by the reading of the Scriptures, to
renounce the Roman Catholic and embrace the Protestant
faith. Among them is M. Maurette, who was formerly a
priest at the village of Serres, which is in the south of France,
and near to the Pyrenees.

A captain of a Lancer regiment in Ireland is obliged to be
put in a state of restraint. He has written several insane
letters to the Queen, particularly remonstrating against the
appointment of Prince George to the command of a regiment.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer acknowledges the receipt
of £4O, in two notes of £2O each, received, from some per-
son unknown, as conscience-money, on the 26th of May,
1812.-11, Downing-street, May 27.,
OXFORD, MAY 25.—The Heads of Houses have just
issued a proposal for the repeal of the University statute
which was passed, relative to the Regius Professor of Divi-
nity, in 1836. June 7 is fixed for bringing the measure
before convocation.

THE CHURCH.-Of the eight churches in the borough of
Hull, four have been built and a fifth rebuilt by the present
generation, and the whole of the remainder have in the mean
time undergone extensive renewals. A ninth is erecting in
the Groves, and yesterday was appointed for laying the foun-
dation of another church in Myton—making ten in Hull.
A meeting was held at Evesham, Worcestershire, on Mon-
day last, for the purpose of promoting a communication be-
tween that borough and the Birmingham and Gloucester
Railway, by means of a branch line. The result was as fa-
vourable as could be desired, and there is little doubt the
object of the meeting will be carried out.

Lord HATHERTON presented a petition against Sunday
trading on canals, and asked if it was the intention of govern-
ment to bring in any bill to enable the proprietors of canals
to close them on Sunday, which they could not do without
the authority of parliament, inasmuch as canals are the
Queen's highways.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE said it was not the intention of go-
vernment to bring in such a bill, but if the noble lord would
bring in such a bill, government would afford him every pos-
sible facility to pass it.

AND OT:li OWN

_ .
Without wishing to disparage the claims of the sufferora by
the late conflagration at Hamburg upon the sympathy and
assistance of our countrymen, we may be permitted to ob-
serve that the contributions which have been made on
their behalf in this country, would have lost none of their
grace if they had been preceded by equal exertions on behalf
of our own poor. The ties by which the interests of our
merchants are connected with those of our own population,
are at least as strong as those which subsist between the for-
mer and the citizens of foreign states. It is by the labour
and ingenuity of our manufacturing operatives, that our
merchants are enabled to establish commercial relations with
other countries; and they should never forget that the real
springs and sources of their wealth are the workshops of
Manchester, Stockport, and Paisley. In a season of great
commercial depression, affecting so severely the operatives
of our manufacturing districts, they ought to consider that
these have the first claim upon their benevolent regard and
assistance. Yet we have, as yet, seen no general or exten-
sive effort on their behalf in our commercial cities, although
the news of the Hamburg disaster had scarcely reached
London, Manchester, and Liverpool, before large subscrip-
tions were entered into to repair it, in each of those places—
amounting in London to about £25,000, in Manchester to
£6,000. and in Liverpool to a proportionate sum.
Surely after so much has been said and written about the
existing distress in the manufacturing districts, ignorance of
the fact cannot be pleaded as an excuse for the general indif-
ference to it. The Relief Committee of this town have is-
sued two circulars, stating in strong but not exaggerated
terms, the extent to which it prevails here; and we know
that applications have been made in quarters where a very
little effort would have secured a large amount of assistance,
and made in vain. The operations of the Relief Committee
are now suspended for want of funds, although their last cir-
cular showed a return of upwards of 13,000 individuals sub-
sisting on an average weekly income of Od. per head ; and
it is well known that great, if not equal distress, exists in
Manchester and the manufacturing towes of Lancashire.
Let our noblemen, bankers, and merchants give, and rive
freely, to the relief of those who urge their claims from
abroad ; but let them not forget, while they are contributing
to the aid of distant sufferers, that they are, in their own
country, at their own doors, thousands-of unemployed arti-
sans in want of the common necessaries of life, whose skill
and industry have been the means of creating their own for-
tunes, and of adding to the wealth and power of their own
country, and whose sufferings are not the less severe for
being orne in a spirit of unexampled patience and sub-
mission.—Stockport Advertiser.
