ITALY. ROMAN STATES. We have received letters, dated July 31st, from our Roman eonespondent, from which we learn that great discontent prevailed in the city and throughout the provinces, on account of the new taxes and eon tributions levied by the government, and also on ac count of the continued measures of political perseeu- 1 tion against all who were not considered as oboe quious partizans of the clerical refaime. Amongst the , most recent victims, our correspondent mentions Signor Blasi, a man of extremely moderate principles, , who had advocated the principle of non-resistance ; when the French entered CiVita Vecchia, and had subsequently afforded valuable information to the 1 French envoy. M. de Coreelles. The tide of public sympathy was gradually turning in favour of the French troops, between whom and the acts of the French government, the Romans seemed inclined to make a distinction, which was observed with jealousy by the priests. A correspondent of the Lombardo Veneto of Milan gives the following account of the positions which General Gemeau has taken up at Rome. Ho has concentrated all his troops on the right bank of the Tiber, leaving only half a battalion at La Pilotta, for the defence of the French embasty. The mili tary ocetipatiou extends from the Castle of St. Angelo to the l'orta l'urtesc, at the other extremity of the Janieulas. Thus the French army is situated be tween the Tiber and the most important fortifications of Rome. _ _ _ A letter dated Rome, Aug. 1, says: The Austrians have collected large forces, with strong divisions of artillery, in the Legation and the Marches. Bologna, Ancona, Foligno, and the whole line of positions, arc fortified. "The late floods are abating, but the country papers still bring news of the deplorable ravages which have marked their course." PIEDMONT. TURIN, Avo. 5. The law of the budget of expenses for 11141, which amounts to 62 millions of livres, is promulgated with the royal sanction. IMPRISONMENTS AT NAPLES. (rnov AN OCCASIONAL COILSIVII.ONDENT.) TURIN, Aro. 1. I ace be the papers that the letter of Mr. Glad stone had a considerable influence on public opinion; that people are astonished that such atrocities can be perpetrated in the nineteenth century , which I boasts of its civilisation. lam in the position to give you some further details of Neapolitan cruelty; they may serve as a supplement to Mr. Gladstone 's letter. The prisons are full of persons not yet tried; their number amounts to twenty thousand, without including those who have been arrested, but shortly after liberated. In this number there are about ten thousand imprisoned by measures of police (misure di p.dizia), because some book or print was found in their house which aroused the suspi cion of the authorities. Signor Corrasin, an old man of seventy-five, was sent to prison for having written sonic extracts from 'I acitus in his memorandum-buck, and a certain Signor Sisto was imprisoned for having had in his possession Guizot's Democratic en France!" In Leen., Signora Arpa was: arrested because she would not tell where her husband, a wealthy barrister, sus pected for his liberal ideas, had fled. In Naples, a widow, Donna Muria Ricci-Devernois, was doomed to six months imprisonment for having visited her son, a priest, who had escaped from gaol, and was to leave his country for ever on board of an English steamer. In the provinces the houses of the liberals are sacked and destroyed by the rabble, instigated by the authorities ; and in Salerno, General Patina had hail flogged more than twenty persons publicly in the market-place, in order that they should confess where they had concealed their arms. In the councils of the cabinet the plan was discussed to establish an extraordinary commission under the name of Giunta di State, with the power to pass sentences without the judicial forms. But this IN not a new idea. The 7th of September, 1799, Ferdinand IV. issued an order in which he named a (hunts. di Stato, per mail:mare cram le f,,rnialila giudiriarir, al:Armando : termini ad ore. These were the expressions of the decree. Andrea Caccia tore, a pamphleteer paid by the government, now publishes this decree as a proof of the clemency of the government. But even without re-enforcing the decree of 1;99, the government has sent to the gal leys about 600 persons compromised in the Cala brian rising, by ministerial order, without a trial. In Rome, everything mimics in the old unsettled state. One of my friends writes : I can send you no news of this place, where peculation alone is ac tive, and everything else—public feeling, commerce, Christianity itself—seems to be in abeyance." The only recent change is an extended exasperation against the present order of government, and stupid wonder at the length of time which can elapse before it falls to pieces. THE LEVANT. By the Levant Mail We have received Athens journals to the 28th ult., and Constantinople journals to the 24th ult., both inclusively. A telegraphic dispatch, dated Athens, July 29, says: "MM. Mc tun and Zographos have been sent for respectively from Coustantumple and St. Petersburg, for the formation of a new ministry." The Athens jour nals are without political news of importance, but they contain further and sad accounts of the brigand age in different parts of the territory. It appears by the Cuurricr it-lthesies that near Marathon a band of twelve brigands had pillaged two houses, and horrible tortured two females by pouring boiling oil into their bosoms. After this act the brigands approached nearer to the capital, and on their way had a conflict with some gendarmes, five of whom they wounded seriously. Near the forest of Aehaiu a party of travellers, twenty in number, were at tacked by another bond, and robbed of their money and effects and three valuable horses; one of the travellers was wounded by a pistol-ball. Near Lamle a band of brigruids, under the orders of a notorious chief, named Chiriaeon, were attacked by a party of mounted gendarmes. Two of the brigands were killed, the rest made their escape. The gendarmes bad two horses killed. The Constantinople journals are destitute of news of interest. MALTA, Aro. 2. Our only new. of the squadron under Admiral Sir W. Parker is that her Majesty's steamer Merlin, on bar way from Marseilles, communicated with them off Marianna. Her Majesty's steamer Merlin, with the London mails of the 21th ult., arrived in Malta harbour on the 30th, at 3.111. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam -ship Indus reached the port at 8 p.m. on the 31st alt., and lett for Alesandria in sic hours after her arrival. Lord Stanley, M.P., arrived in Malta by the former vessel, and lett it by the latter for his tour in India. His Royal Highness the Duke D'Aumsle visited Malta by a French government steam-ship from Naples on the 2.3 th ult., and took his de parture for Gibraltar on the 28th. llis Royal Highness re• cawed every attention from our very popular acting go vernor. The solar eclirye of J uly al was to us only partially I isiblc. The wettest darkness took place about 4.30 p.m. About three-quarters of the sun MU darkened, and the sun's light was sensibly reduced for some minutes.

The Royal West India mail packet Trent, Capt. C. Clarke, from the West Indies, &c., arrived at Southampton this morning, and landed her mails under the charge of Lieut. South, R.N., Admiralty agent. Her dates are : Chagrcs, July 9th; Vera Cruz, 10th ; La Onayra, 10th ; Porto Cabello, 10th ; earthagena, 12th; Demerara, 12th; Trinidad, 12th; Grena&a, 13th ; Barbadoes, 14th; Antigua, lath; Martinique, lath; Jamaica, 17th; Porto Bic°, 2lst ; St. Thomas, 22nd. - - - - The Trent brings about fifty-eight passengers, among whom arc :—Judge Stevenson and three ehih:ren,; Major Fenly, lady and children; Mr. and Mrs. ltoch, Mr. and Mrs. Ilokely ; and Mr. and Mrs. Brandon, Jamaica; Captain Nugent and Mr. McKay, Barboadoes ; Mr. Buyles, Demerara; Mr. Rainey, Dominic► ; Doctor Black, Antigua ; Mr. Gordon, Tampico ; Mr. Peebles and Mr. Ban dity, St. Thomas ; and several Frenchmen and Spaniards. Amongst her cargo is specie to the value of 1,240,93 n dollars, of which 30,000 dollars are on account of Mexican dividends. The 'Trent was detained at St. 'Thomas's until 3 a.m., on the 22nd ult., waiting the arrival of the, Great Western from the Gulf of Mexico; the delay originated at Tampico, the bar being imp . racticabli4 from heavy freshcs coming down the river. The Great Western remained off there until noon of the 9th July, when she sailed for Vera Cruz, leaving behind the mail, 9,200 dollars on freight, and the Admiralty agent and purser. From Mexico we learn that, instead of the tariff being lowered, higher duties are to be enforced, and that the Mexican government had been seriously urged to suspend all payments for a twelvemonth. There is no other news of any importance from Mexico. The last accounts state that political parties were quiet. Trade was very active at Vera Cruz. At Tampico they have had several northerly storms, very unusual in the summer months. Chagres continued in great disorder, the town and neighbourhood being overrun with Americans of the lowest character. Lynch law is the only law respected, and that only from fear. "I am humbly of opinion," says a corre spondent, " that the English mails are not safe from the attacks of these rascals. Robbery and murder arc quite common; yet the natives take their re , vengc when an opportunity offers. An English ship of war ought to be stationed at Chagres for the pro tection of English interests and property. The rail way from Navy Bay is proceeding fast. The Cumberland was reported at Bermuda, with the Alarm and Scorpion ; the Imautu at Jamaica ; the Inflexible at the Havannah; the Bermuda at Grey Town ; the Persian at Halifax ; the Helena at Au- tigua Left at St. Thomas's the Dee and Great Western. The Trent passed the Medway at 3 a.m. on the 11th July, about 100 miles to the eastward of Chagres ; Eagle at Burbadues, the I)erwent at Antigua, and the Conway at the Ilavannah. Tuesday, sth July, at noon, passed the ship Dido, standing to the west ward ; 6th, at t 4 a.m., passed the English ship Eli zabeth Bentley, standing to the southward. Foe AMNIA.

The dates from this island are but three davit later than those brought ria New York by the Canada, and given in Mondav's Express. We leant from the . Colonial Standard of July 17, that at a meeting of the Board of Health, in the town of Port Royal, on the lath, the following reso lution war pIISSCa • • That as the parties to whom compensation was awarded would be obliged to discount the Exchequer Bills at a con siderable loss, the Customs be requested to bring the mat ter under the notice of the vestry, in order to secure the recipients from such lass." The cholera was more dreadful than ever. The County Union says: " Our news is still more painful than heretofore, the disease being on the in crease, and our obituary announcing the death of several persons of respectability who have fallen vic tims to its potency. Our correspondent, under date 12th Jul• writes; The deaths to date in this town (Say-la-Mar) are 224. The disease is, 1 think, as suming a much more malignant tOrm within the last week, and there are at the present moment 17 corpses lying at the ground unburied. The weather has been very bad indeed for the last three days.' " BRITISH GUIANA. The Royal Gowlle of July 12, in its Review for Home Readers, says : The wish is generally entertained in this community that the Royal West India Mail Company will lose uo time in launching some of their new first-class plackets. As long as the old line of steamers is kept running we must despair of punctuality. Matters have been quiet enough in the colony since the last packet left our shores, which she did on the 27th ultimo. The Court of Policy has enjoyed a holiday in the intervening fortnight. It met, by adjourn ment from the 26th ultimo, on the sth instant; and us two influential and useful members of the court, the chief justice and the attorney-general, were other wise engaged in the Supreme Court of Civil Justice, and could not attend for several days to come in their places, the court adjourned further to Monday next, the 14th. But it is doubtful whether those learned legislators will even then be in • position to give their attendance constantly ; fur, although the session of the Supreme Court of Civil Justice is now at an end, the Supreme Court of Criminal Justice, where both gentlemen may be required, will commence its session the day after (the 15th). Almost the whole session of the Supreme Civil Court was occupied with one solitary case, the Adminis trator-General of Demerara and Essequibo, as representing the estate of Goring, versus Messrs. Daniels and Co., the eminent Bristol firm ; the suit having been instituted to recover a large sum of money, alleged to be due to Goring for putting up the present sugar works on plantation Philadelphia, a property belonging to the Meows. Daniels, on the west coast of Demerara. The circumstance of this suit being spun out throughout nearly the entire session has proved most vexatious and bernering to other litigants, whose cases have, in conse quence, been thrown over , to the great accumulaiiest of law expenses, to the November 'melon. Witnesses had, in nosey instances, been brought up, at heavy expense, from remote parts of the country, and after loitermg for sixteen or seventeen days in the galleries of the public buildings, in the expectation of being examined, will have to be re-sum moned, at a renewed cost, to give their evidence next session. When we state that, besides being paid their travelling expenses, witnesses are further paid by the suitors for each days' attendance in the neighbourhood of the Court, •it must be obvious how harrassing, in these days of depression and distress, must be procrasti nation in the administration of justice. During the last fortnight an important failure has taken place in the commercial world of Georgetown, that of the eminent firm of A. Duff. Mr. Duff was forced to suspend through no fault of his own, but in consequence a nee reaching him by the previous mail of the innimgmey_of the Liverpool house of Peter Duff and Co., e~ woes Bis. Duff had drawn to a large amount. Mr. Dentist not a moment in calling his creditors together, MEd bringing before them the state of his affairs ; and siabsequently, finding it impossible to weather the storm," *few his property, with the general concurrence of his orediton, into the hands of the Administrator-general. Mr. Duff's liabilities were at first reckoned to amount to about 250,000 dollars, while his assets are estimated at 100,000 dollars. We arc glad, however, to learn that minces have reached the colony by the present mails which @Ord reason to believe that the losses will be much less severe than it was at first supposed they would be. Four estates, all of them atone period of considerable value, have boon brought to execution sale in the course of the fort night, and have realised, like all other similar property in the usicey when brought to the hammer, " ruin" prices. Mos castes are, plantations Two Brothers, in Canal No. 1, which realised 900 dole. ; Mes Delices, in the same entity, which fetched 740 doll. •' Belfield , in the island af Lcguan , which sold for 2,750 dole ; and Vertrouwcn, ono in the same island, which was knocked down for 7,001 dols. About three times these amounts in pounds Marling would have been the market values of these estates isswassly. Leave of absence having been granted to two stipendiery magistrates, Dr. Rolm= and John Alves, log, have been appointed to the stipendiary bench., =tithe retirement of Mr. Duff, a vacancy has taken the college of electors, and an election for Esse will consequently take place. We regret to announce death, since the date of our former review, of H. M. hose, Esq., of doses and Houston,—a gentleman who non have been well known to many of our absent friends. 111•Mell death bad been for some time expected. There bee bees • limas' IdEEire in the weether during the fort sated end Wind etiserents of rain we have had days of sunshine. The wet season may now be said to Lave broken up. TRLNIDAD. The Port of Spain - Cl;:etieTi July 8 says : "The yacht Ariel, one of the Royal Yacht Squadron, hav ing on board her owner and commander, Sir George Douglas, arrived here yesterday from Barbadoes. We understand the Ariel will mks her departure for England in the course of the week." Heavy, but be neffdal showers, bad fallen in Trinidad. Agricultu ral operations were going on freely. The colony will probably ship 30,000 hogsheads of sugar this year. From the Leeward and other islands, we have re oeived 110 journals by this arrival. The following is from the Trinidad paper quoted above : We regret to team, by the Tobago papers, the sudden dealt of hie suollency D. R. ROM, Esq., lieutenant-gover sot of that colony. occasioned by his being precipitated with his horse and gig front the side of the road into • ravine about thirty feet deep, whilst returning with his servant front a public ball, given at the Court House, on Friday, the 27th ult., in honour of the Queen's commatiust.—" His excelkncy," states the Chronicle, " was precipitated to the bottom, without any intervening obstacle to break his fall, and (don one of the large stones at the bottom of the precipice, where he received such an injury in his head as meanie instantaneous death." Strange to say, horse, gig, and servant escaped uninjured. The Hon. Henry Yates, senior member of council, was sworn in as president of the colony. In Barbadoes the weather was very fine, and the prospects for next year's crop most favourable. In St. Lucia rain, with high winds and thunder storms, had thrown back the planters in taking off' the current crop of sugar. The weather was very favourable for the next year's crops, which are ex pected to be very large. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, /LINO/MON, JAVAICA, JrLY 17.

CENTRAL CO-OPERATIVE AGENCE.—A meeting in connexion with the central co-operative agency took place last night at Blagrove's Concert-rooms, Mortimer-street. Mr. E. Van►ittart Neale occupied the chair, and in the course of a few observations stated the object of the agency to be the promotion of " Christian socialism." He intro duced to the meeting Mr. T. Ramsay, who delivered a lecture explanatory of the principle by which the agency was guided—the principle cf mutual co-operation for the mutual gad. The lecturer commenced by explaining the meaning of the term socialism, which he defined as the embodiment of a great principle involving the public in terest. lie then glanced at the manifold evils which the present state of wwietr presented, and drew therefrom an argument for the establishment of the co-operative system. Although he did not maintain that the social principle was a panacea for all the ills to which flesh is heir, yet he held that by it the condition of mankind might be made something like what it was intended to be—the love of one's neighbour overruling the corrupt principle of selfishness. The ope ration of the selfish principle he traced through all the ramifications of church and state, and then went on to re mark at some length on the character of the early church, which was popular because it was social." He concluded by urging on the acceptance of his hearers the Bible prin ciple of truth—that principle on which Christian socialism was based—as the only principle whereon society coul.l have a sure and lasting foundation. Mr. Lloyd Jones then gave a few details connected with the socialist movement throughout the country. He stated that the working men were joining together, and opening stores to supply them selves with food and clothing, in order to protect themselves from the numerous frauds of dealers. This, however, was but one step towards the full adoption of the co-operative system, but it was a step which was being taken with emi nent success by the industrious working classes in almost every district of the kingdom. The chairman having made a few observations, the proceedings of the evening were wound up by a plentiful service of tea, coffee, and other refreshments. --- ----- RETIREMENT Of A POLICE MAGISTRATE.—Yen terday, in conformity with a previous announcement, John Palfrey Burrell, Esq., the colleague of Dr. Broderip in the magisterial presidency of the Westminster Police Court, retued from official duty. During the seventeen years that Mr. Burrell has held this Mace, his career bailees uni formly marked by assiduity, judgment, and independence, combined with • humane regard for want and distress under the isaamerable foams water which they some before THE CONVICT SARAH BARBEL The NottingAans Review publishes the following statement of the circumstances which led to the successful efforts which have been made to obtain a reprieve for Sarah Barber:— On Wednesday she asked to see the governor, and on that functionary presenting himself, she said she had a state ment to make if he would take it down. As Mr. Halyard saw she was inclined to make something like a confession, he asked if she had any . objection to make her statement in the presence of a tuamstsate. Raving expressed her ac quiescence with this arrangement, Captain Legard, of Len ten, one of the visiting justices, who was presiding in the hall during petty se•Wons,was sent for, and, in his presence, she made a certain statement. A mate rial part of which was to the following effect:—" The poison which Ingram pur chased at lluckoll's shop, on Sunday, at Bulwell, he mixed with the medicine which was procured from Mr. Bowler, the surgeon, as he and the deceased were riding from Bulwell to Eastwood. She (Mn. Barber) administered this medi cine unconscious of its containing poison, and thus inad vertently killed her husband. Ingram did not tell her be had put poison in the medicine until after the death of the deceased. As soon as it was known that an inquest would be held, she said to Ingram, ' You must go out of the way.' Upon saying he nail no money she gave him two half crowns, and sent him off to NottinOam." During the time she was thus discharging her conscience, Thomas Nixon, Esq., of Nuttal, and tke high sheriff entered the gaol, and remained upstairs in the governor's parlour until she hail concluded. When it was afterwards read to them the were by no means satisfied with it, and did not attach mach credit to her story, our did the Rev. Mr. Plumptre ' to whom it was afterwards shown. The document was left M Mr. Ildlyard's care. On Friday morning the govimier sad one of the turnkeys was sitting with the condemned woman, when Mr. Ilillyaril said "Sarah Barber, have yon told the whole truth, is there anthing else yuu can say? your statement is not believed . " She replied that as had told the truth, and that there was something which could prove the correctness of what she had stat ed . She then made a second statement, after which Mr. Nfilyard waited upon Mr. Swann, the coroner, and told hint the nature of the communication he had just received. lie then asked him whether he would go with himself and the chaplain to Captain Legard, one of the visiting magistrates, to see what he would say respect ing it. They accordingly proceeded to Lenten, and ob tained an interview with the gallant captain, to whom they stated the connection of several points with the supposition that her first statement was a correct one. Captain Legard instantly ordered out his carriage, and the whole party went over to Eastwood, and put up at the Sun Inn. The Rev. 11. W. Plumptre, fur whom they sent, was out, but he soon joined them. Mr. Smith, surgeon, was also present during the proceedings which afterwards occurred. Mr. Ilillyard and the chaplain first drove down to Langley-mill, in search of Ingram. They found him standing at the door of hie reputed father, Mr. Brierley. They asked him if ho would have any objection to go to the Sun inn with them. lie said lie had none, and was accordingly conveyed there, and a number of questions put to him with a view of testing the truth of Mrs. Barber's statement. lie was first asked how he went to Notting ham ? He replied, by railway. Where did you get the money from to go by railway ? I had it. Mr. Hillyard here said, "you know, Ingram, that you have been out of work for a long time, and could have no money of your own." lie then said his sister hid given it him. \While Ingram made this statement, he called heaven to witness that it was true, and said he hoped that he might never enter the kingdom of heaven if it was proved to be false. having heard thew assertions, Captain Legard imme diately sent down for the man's sister, and she declared that she had never given himsuythiug of the sort. On the captain re-entering the room the same questions as before were again put to Ingram, but he repeated his former statement. When it was proved, however, that he had spoken falsely, he begged pardon The man also protested the truth of other facts which he had stated, but apologised for them and retracted them when they were afterwards found to be false. On this occasion three or four parties came for ward to state that they heard Mrs. Shaw, who lived neat door to the deceased, say she had actually seen Mrs. Barber burn the poison which was spoken of at the trial. They also asserted that there were several incidents to prove that Mrs. Barber actually lost the poison en the road which she purchased on the VCminesday night, as she hail stated ; that the chief witness who could have proved it all was Mr. Smith's assistant (Mr. Mather), who had gone away ; that she went that same Wednesday night to Mr. Smith's surgery to get some powders fur her husband, which were to be administered to him either in or in conjunc tion with some linseed tea, also that at that time she put her hand into her pocket, and said, " I have lost a packet out of my pocket, and sd. in change ," upon which Mr. Mather said he would lend her 4d. She accordingly bought the linseed tea with it. In the second statement of Mrs. Barber to Mr. Halyard she described the place where the bottles were deposited, in consequence of which Mr. Smith was empowered to employ parties to clear the manure hole, in the out-house attached to the residence of the deceased. This operation was duly performed, a diligent search was made, and at last the police man found the two bottles containing sumo medi eine which had been obtained from Mr. Hawker's' on the Sunday before the deceased's death. They were taken to the hospital at Nottingham, and on analysatiem by Mr. White, the resident surgeon, instantly produced arsenic, and subsequently half an ounce was detected On Saturday morning, Captain Legard embodied the re sults of these investigations in a long and elaborate state ment which he drew up with the intention of sending it by mime trustworthy person to Mr. Baron l'arke, the learned judge who presided at the trial. Mr. Hillyard being un able to leave the gaol at this peculiar time, Mr. l'atchitt, the clerk to the magistrates, undertook the responsible charge, and proceeded with the greatest possible despatch to Warwick, where the judges of this circuit were then stationed. lie sought and instantly obtained an interview with the learned Baron, in the course of which his lord ship scanned the document with great care, anti went through the whole of the arguments bearing upon the case with Mr. Patthitt. A eonsiderrblc impression appeared to , be made upon the mind of the judge, as the result of which he forwardtsl such a recommendation to the Home-oflice, that the authorities at once conseuted to vent a respite. THE Con'lrr HENRY GROOM.—The execution of Henry Groom, who was tried and found guilty at the last Norfolk Assizes for an aggravated case of murder, il,fixed to take place to day, at 12 o'clock, in front of NoXich Castle. Since his condemnation the miserable culprit seems to be perfectly . alive to the fearful nature of his position, and has made in general terms a full confession of his guilt to the gaol chaplain. Ile is most attentive to the religious consolation offered to him, and admits the perfect justice of his sentence.

A FARM-YARD AND BUILDING, IN WHICH STEAM eowza is VIED to do all the work usually dune by manual labour, exhibited at the Glass Palace, is of interest. The model is designed by Mr. Isaac Tyson, of Selby, in Yorkshire, and is upon a scale of two inches to the foot. The object of this model is to show to farmers and landed proprietors that a much more econo mical system may be pursued than has hitherto been adopted in the arrangement of farmsteads and the carrying on of every-day business. Tho plan proposed by Mr. Tyson will, it is said, effect a very considerable saving in the an nual outlay of a farm. The model is designed for a farm of 500 acres, and is so arranged that the highest buildings are placed on the north side, and the various offices open into each other where necessary. The repository for fodder is placed as near as possible to where it is consumed, and, by tramways leading direct to the stables, as much can be con veyed on a track at once as will ;supply the whole of the cattle for the day. In the same way the turnips, as they are cut, fall at once into the truck, and are carried off to ' their destination. The stack-yards are also economically arranged, end the carriage, stacking, and conveying to market are managed without the intervention of manual or horse labour. The whole of the buildings are supplied with water by the engine, which is a fixed one of six-horse power, of the simplest construction, and which besides performs all the operations of threshing, grinding, straw-cutting, cake breaking, and bean-grinding. The engine can also be made to crush bones, or saw, or perform any other work required on the premises; and thus, by means of this valuable ser vant of man, time, money, and labour arc saved to a considerable amount. MALICIIITE is generally described ass green veined ramble : but this is a very loose description of mala chite ; for that mineral is neither a marble nor is it veined. , It is a copper ore, seeming to have been formed by what geologists call the plutonic action of the subterranean heat, in actually melting, at some period of the world's history, I the rock which contained the elements of the copper in chemical combination with some other element. In the native stns, it has the blistered, bubbled appearance of iron or glass clinker ; and on cutting it into thin slices it is found to be marked, as oarnelians or agates are marked, by syni- ' metrical stria of light and dark bands of all the shades of green, from dm What olive, through the most brilliant emerald, to the delieste_ye . lbw green of the yro oungly-sputed leaves on the Masa.

After the conclusion of the match between the Volante and Arrow, on Wednesday, for her Majesty's Uold Cup, the minor sports commenced, consisting of matches between watermen's boats, tishing-hoats, four•oared gigs, wherries, 'cullers Bee., the whole of which were uncommonly well contested, and atihnled much amusement to the crowds of sight•seekers on shore and afloat. It was somewhat late in the evening before the termination of the sport.. The river throughout the day presented en animated appearance. There were yachts of all classes moored offthe town, many of which were dressed out in flags of various nations. The ball in the evening, at the Club-house, in honour of the birthday of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, was attended by most of the gentry in the town and neighbour hood. Thursday was the fixture for the annual meeting of the club and the dinner. The former was attended by nearly all the members nt the rendezvous, and went off very satis factorily. Several new members were admitted, and the following committee chosen for the ensuing year, viz. : The Earl of llchester, Hon. Augustus Berkeley; Colonels Farquharson. Phipps, Crabbe, and Gore Browne. 8.A.; Captain Bold, It.N.; Edward Coxwell, Thomas Ruther ford, John Fitter, Peter Dickson, and William Roemer, Emirs. The dinner took place in the evening at the Club llouse, Captain O'Brien in the chair. Yesterday (Friday) the Challenge Cup, presented by the town, was sailed for. It is of the intrinsic value of lOU guineas, silver gilt, and weighs 14 ounces. It is un doubtedly the best prize that has been sailed for this season on the coast. The course was from a buoy off the pier to the Calshot lighthouse. three times round, thus keeping the sport within view of the town. It was a time race, according to Mr. Aekers's gra duated scale, open to all yachts belonging to royal yacht clubs, and to any vessel belonging to the port of South ampton, with the usual stipulations incident to challenge cups. The notice was so short, that only five yachts started, the owner of the Volante very honourably declin ing to contend for the prize, having carried off two on the previous days. The signal gun was tired at halt-past eleven o'clock, when the following vessels immediately got under weigh and proceeded down the river with a mode rate easterly breeze: Vain 45 tont— .......

CULTURE OF Flax IN TILE WEST HIGHLANDS. —The North British Mail says ; "W e have seen a parcel of flax grown in Islay. Having had an opportunity lately of seeing the flax crops on some of the best lands in Ire land, we can bear testimony to the comparative excellence, and indeed the superiority, of this Islay specimen of any thing of the same kind which came under our notice in the sister kingdom. The stalks measure from 3to 31 feet 'in length, while the fineness of their texture proves the superior quality of the crop. About 120 acres of flax have been grown this year on the estate of the proprietor to whom it belongs, and we ate assured that the parcel shown to us is a fair specimen of the whole crop. There can be no doubt, therefore, of the adaptability both of soil and climate in the West Highlands for the growth of flax. Some idea may De formed of the profitableness of this crop front the fact that the Islay proprietor, not satisfied with his own produce, has par chased the flu grown by his own tenants at 121. an aces. Ile is supplying himself with the best scutching machi nery for the purpose of preparing all the flax grown on his estate, and affording a ready and convenient market to his tenants. We believe that Highland landlords have only to "go and do likewise," in order to retrieve the lost profits of kelp and potatoes. We may add, that the specimen to which we refer has been shown to a party of Germans, who declare that they have seen nothing superior to it, on the Continent. THE AGBICCLTURAL SOCIETY. —The annual show of this important and flourishing society was held in Newcastle-on-Tyne on Thursday. The entries of stock were more numerous than on any previous occasion, and most of the cattle so entered were on the ground. The attendance of gentlemen connected with the agricultural intermit was very large, comprising his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, and the most distinguished agriculturists of the aunties of Northumberland and Durham, besides a vast number of ladies and gentlemen connected with the teem in which the show was held were on the ground. Them was a good show of swine, and of agricultural imple ments. Tin havi ng been distributed, the dinner ma bid Is the l is the main. MONEY MARKET. IHIS DAY. Two o'Cooew. The market for the home funds has been very quiet to-day, and in the absence equally , of buisincss and intelligence of a character calculated to influence I lprices, quotations have remained at the trifling decline noticed yesterday. The Bank returns are regarded with satisfaction. The Trent, we are ad vised by telegraph, has brought in 1,219,938 dole. in specie. Consols are quoted 961 to ,1 both for money and the settling of Tuesday, the arrangements for which are now attracting attention. Ihe prices of the day's bargains arc thus officially reported :—Threo per Cent. Consols, 96, , „ 1; ditto, for account, 961; Three per Cent. leduced, !.

India Bonds, 1,0001., mark 3.5*. and .ISs. prem. Foreign stocks have attracted scarcely the least attention. Spanish Bonds are a trifle firmer, but Mexican arc decidedly worse, and have been done as low as 301. The telegraphic dispatch from South amton, states the amount of dividend money brought ' over by the Trent to he the contemptible sum of thirty thousand dollars, and the jobbers are correspondingly disappointed, more especially after the fair settlement Volunteered by Signor Payno, in his communication to tho committee of three weeks ago. It seems that the steamer was unable, owing to the state of the weather, to touch at Tampico, where a further sum of 92,000 dollars was understood to be awaiting ship ment; bat even had this amount arrived in duo course, the expectations of the bond-holders, and the requirements of the dividends would nut have been met.

MINCINU-LANK, SATURDAY MORNING. In the colonial markets, generally, there is but little de mand for produce, and for most kinds the prices are in favour of the buyers. The sales of Sugar have gone off very heavily; only the good and fine grocery descriptions have realised former rates, and some Ifavanna of old import has been sold at a considerable reduction. The inquiry for Coffee continues; a large businesaihas been done ut from 2s. to 3s. advance on last ue. quotations • for the native kinds of Cerion there are buyers at tfis. Gae twr cwt. The Dutch trading company have advertised 469,000 bags for sale on the 4th, Bth, and I lilt proximo ; this is rather less than was anticipated, and has tended to strengthen our market. There is a little better feeling in the tea market, and rather more business has been transacted. TALLOW MARKET.-THIS DAY. The market is very quiet, particularly for goods close at hand, there being sellers without finding buyers for new Ukraine Tallow now on the way to London, at 3ss. 6d. Town Tallow is quoted 375. ; Petersburg Y.C. ou the spot, 3Ss. ; last three mouths, 391., sellers ; Jan. and March, 395. 61., buyers. No advance has taken place for Russian on thr spot this week, but on the part of merchants there is a firmness, and a good business has been concluded ; fine yellow candle realising 375. 9tl. to 38s. per cwt. An impression exists that better prices will prevail. For delivery seseral trans actions have taken place, and the rates paid are 395. to 394.6 d. for the last three montlis of the year, there are many buyers rather under these terms. Home melted has been in excel lent demand, and is not to be obtained under 375. 6d. nett cash, but there is still a fair supply. Other sorts of tallow sell more freely, and ut a small advance ; the supply also continues to get smaller. Tallow is rather dearer than last season, and the stock of colonial and foreign is 8,000 casks above that time, but there is a larger consumption, with every prospect of a further increase taking place. Imports remain less than last season from Sydney and South America, and likely so to continue. There is no variation iu the value of rough fat, but a brisker demand prevails. WOOL MARKET.-THIS DAY. The colonial wool sales at the Hall of Commerce arc going off very much to the satisfaction of the sellers. The cheap excursion trains from the manullteturing districts have brought up a large number of the small manufac . toren, who attend the billet; and make purchases, and it has ' had a very decided effect upon prices. Since our last report we may quote an improvement on all descriptions of wool, and as the sales close on Friday, the 15th inst., there is no fear of a reaction. This week's imports comprise ..st bales from Lisbon, 11 from Marseilles, 37 from Call" 73 from Hamburg, and 1,450 from Sydney. SMITHFIELD HAY MARKET.--THIS DAY. Messrs. Cooper and Davis report a dull trade, at the following quotations;—Prime Meadow Ilay, its. to 880. inferior ditto,:s44. to 65a. ; new, Ws. to 72a. ; Rowen, 634.; to 665. ; Clover, 01d,705. to NI.; new, Ons. to bOs. ; Straw, PCs to 34/s. COVENT GARDEN.-THIS DAY Peaches and Nectarines are only sparingly supplied, but pines and grapes are Mill abundant. Strawberries are nearly ever for a season. Cherries from standards have been much spoiled by the late heavy rains, but those from walls are exceedingly good. Ripe Apricots and Greengage Plums are imported from the Continent in considerable quantities. West Indian Pities fetch from 2s. to ss. each. Oranges and Lemon, are scarce. Nuts remain nearly the mine ac quoted last week. Carrots, French Ilusns, and Peas, are received in quantity. Potatoes may be obtained at Id. to 3d. per lb. Lettuces and other saluding are suf ficient for the demand. Mushrooms are a trifle cheaper.
