INVALID LlVES.—Persons not in sound health may have their lives insured at equitable rates. ACCOMMODATION IN LOAN TRANSACTIoNs.—OnIy one-half of the Annual Premium, when the insurance is for life, requires to be Paid for the first five years, simple interest being charged on the balance. Such arrangement is equivalent to an immediate advance of 50 per cent. upon the Annual Premium, without the borrower having recourse to the unpleasant necessity of procuring sureties, or assigning and thereby parting with his Policy, during the cur rency of the loan, irrespective of the great attendant expenses in Mich arrangements. The above mode of insurance has been found most advantageous when policies have been required to cover monetary transactions, or when incomes applicable for insurance are at present limited, as it only necessitates half the outlay formerly required by other com panies before the present system was instituted by this office. Loans are granted likewise on real and personal securities.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTiLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It h's been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A. few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " pei feet bag of bones." Ile tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. lie then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, aad in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in tilnsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. 'TO THE NERVOUS AND DEBILITATED. 1. CHARLES WATSON, 31.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 87, BEDFORD SQUARE. LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sisecced the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those pe nalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may lie avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infir mity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

In this instance the victim is a little girl, six years old, named Hannah Maria Burgess, daughter of a labourer named William Burgess, working at the Forest Mines, Exmoor, and the murderer is the child's father. The only motive the wretched patent had fn- destroying his daughter was to save the expense cf half a-crown a-wet k which he paid for her board and lodging. Burgess was left a widower with five children, four of them old enough to go into service, and places were pro cured for them accordingly. The deceased, the youngest of the family, was sent to a neighbour to be kept at the expense of the father, who paid 2s. a week fur some time, and then the child was removed to the house of a person named Marley, at an additional cost of sixpence per week. He had frequently complained of having to pay this weekly sum for the - support cf I is daughter, and being a man of intemperate habits the tax appeared to Lei% genres of great annoyance to him. On Sunday, the 25th of July, Burgess took the child away from Marley's at four o'clock in the morning, under the pretence of taking her to some of his relatives at Porlock, about 14 miles - off. While at work some days afterwards he was asked what bag become , of the child, and he said he had taken her to Brinswo r itby, in Devonshire. Nothing further was heard of the child until last week; and in the meantime Burgess had left his work and quitted the neighbourhood. In the early part bf last week a man going along a secluded spot on Exmoor - Forest found the remnants of some female apparel which hid evidently been burnt, and the fragments- were' identified as part of the clothing the child wore when she left Marley's in company with her father. Suspicion being-- thus excited, a person was sent to Burgess's relations at Porloek, and it was ascertained that neither Burgess nor the child had been there on the Sunday above-mentioned. Some men at work at the iron mines heard that the child was missing, and in consequence commenced searching the forest; they found the tarfhad been cut, and a grave bad br railway car, and locomotive axles; piston rods, guide and slide bars, crank pins, connecting rods, steam-boat and mill rods. Amongst the 20 per cent. ad valorem duties are albata and German silver manufactures, cutlery, polished, of all sorts; glass, fire-arms, leather, plated and gilled ware of all kinds, spades, shovels, axes, hoer,rakes, forks, and edge-tools ; s, , ythes and snaiths, bolts, nuts, and washers of iron; spikes, nails, tacks, brads and sprigs, &c. The trade of the district is improving—slowly, it is true, but unquestionably there have been symptoms of greater activity in the manufacturing trades generally in the course of the week. The state of the iron trade very much re sembles that of this town ; it is a fact that whilst some of he mills and forges are not working more than half thee, at other establishments they have fully six weeks orders on shy books, and this is not confined to one or two firms. For charcoal iron of the best quality there is a tolerably good demane ; and for sheets and plates there is unquestionably more inquiry. An inferior make of Iron is very little sought after, and can find sale only at a very low figure; but upon the whole the trade is looking more healthy than it has done since the commencement of the quarter; and as consumers have apparently greater confidence in prices, it is not im probable that such improvement as has been experienced will be maintained. The orders from America by the last packet were less than was expected, having in view the fact that the reduction in the price here was known in New York for some time before the America sailed. The price of pig iron (best mine) is still quoted at £3 lOs., but there have been many sales below that quotation ; and the demand is sufficient to render it improbable that there will be any additional furnaces in blast at present. The coal trade has been rather more active during the last week, chiefly in consequence of parties making arrange ments for laying in their winter stock. House coal maintains its price, but for the commodity used at the works prices are a shade lower. (From the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.) )een dug about four feet long by two feet wide, and about three feet in depth, and on throwing out the mould they observed a strong smell of decomposed animal matter, bat failed to discover the body. Information was then sent to _ Superintendent Jeffs, of the Wiveliscombe division of the county constabulary, who at once went in search of the father. MANCHESTER, Friday.—The extensive business which has of late been effected in bundle yarns, from 40's down ward (mule and water), appears to be the occasion of a little slackening just now in the demand, to which, probably, the absence of spirit in the cotton market may also, in some degree, contribute; but spinners are too well situated in regard to orders to be affected in price by a heaviness in Liverpool, or by a little backwardness on the part of their customers, which they clearly see to be only temporary; a❑d, after all, the sales reach a fair aggregate amount, made up of parcels, not individually large, but numerous. There is therefore no sign of diminished strength resulting from somewhat less of activity in this department. Cop twist and pincops are quite firm under a steady demand ; the former fully as hard in price in num bers 36 to 40. Throstle warps, from 24's downwards, are in sufficient request to acquire a bias in favour of sellers. The spinners of GO's to 80's are doing more, and seem nsw to have secured an addition of Id. per lb. to the late lowest prices. In finer spinnings the slight symptoms I of coming business which we have latterly noticed are becoming rather more apparent. In our last report we stated that there was a little doing in 100's to 120's twofolds (the compositor made us to say "a little less doing"); and we may now repeat the statement. Of the lower numbers of doubled we have to report not less favourably than we (lid on Tuesday. There has arisen to-day an increased de mand for Indian goods; and some considerable purchases of 40-inch shirtings, jacconets, and of other articles have taken place, giving, of course, a further upward bent to prices. No doubt this is mainly attributable to the gratify ing contents of the letters from Bombay, which advise of very extensive sales to arrive, and at higher prices than before. In several kinds of printing cloths, shirtings, do mestics, T cloths, and long cloths, a steady business con tinues to be done. The makers of some descriptions speak of a certain degree of quietness; and all complain (with too much reason) of the inadequacy of the prices they are able to obtain ; but the general tendency, at any rate, is in the right direction. At Lynmouth, Devon, it was ascertained that Burgess had hired a boat and had gone in the direction of the Welsh coast. Mr. Jeffs procured a fast-sailing yacht and went in pursuit ; he reached Swansea on Thursday afternoon, and there found Burgess at work at the new docks now in course of construction at that port. The officer arrested him, and charged him on suspicion of murdering his daughter, when he said, " I done it, and I must die for it; I'd sooner die than live, for I shall never be happy again." He also told the superintendent that he intended to have made away with himself, and saved him the trouble of tak- Lug him. The prisoner was temporarily lodged in the police-station at Swansea, and the next day conveyed to Lynmouth, and from thence to Dulverton. He was brought up at the petty sessions there on Saturday, before Mr. J. A. Locke and Capt. Bernard, county magistrates, when some formal evidence having been offered, the prisoner was remanded for further examination, and committed in the meantime to the county gaol at Taunton. The prisoner attempted to carry his threat of self-destruc tion into execution on Saturday morning just prior to being taken bdore the magistrates. One of his handcuffs was un- locked, to allow him to take some refreshment, when he seized a pair of scissors lying on the table and plunged them into his throat. Several policemen were in the room, and stayed his deadly purpose, but not before he had cut his neck severely. A surgeon (Mr. Collins) was soon at hand, and with difficulty the wounds were sewn up. The county police are diligently engaged searching for the body of the child, which had not been found when our parcel was despatched; and the intricate nature of the ground in the forest renders the search a matter of no little difficulty. CIIILD MIIIIDEIL—At the Reading police-court, en Friday, Mary Newell was placed at the bar, charged with the wilful murder of her infant on the 9th August by drowning it in the Thames in the King's Meadow. The unfortunate woman came into court weeping and looking very pale. She was accommodated with a seat near the dock, and, although she exhibited little outward emotion, yet it was evident from her appearance that she felt ncutely, the- serious position- in- which she was placed.. A great crowd bad assembled outside theyediee-coatto while at number of persons were present during the examination., all of whom seemed to compassionate the unhappy prisoner, the general impression being that she had been driven to despe- ration, and had committed the act from the heartless treat- cunt she had received. The evidence as given at the inquest was read over to the several witnesses and confirmed, the prisoner declining to ask any questions of either of them. The usual caution _ baying been given to the prisoner, she made the following statement :—I have known William Francis these six years, and have been in service ever since I knew him. I left Mr. he's last August, and came to Reading to seek for another situation, and going home I met with him in the street. Ile, knowing me, asked me how I was, and if I would go and have some thing to drink. I refused, but by being persuaded I went, and was in his company some hours. He asked me if I was engaged, for he wanted a wife, but he did not want to marry yet. He said his sister was keeping his house. When we parted lie did not ask me my address, or where I was going, nor anything, and I thought he did not care anything about me, only for his own ends. I had a situation, and I went to it. I stayed two months and a fort night, but I was so unwell I was obliged to leave. I came home and stayed with my mother until I got better. Then I came to Reading and told him bow I was, and asked him what I was to do. He knew that I was in trouble by him. He said he did not know what I was to do, for he was engaged. He could nut have me, but he would keep the child. I said "Why not have me as well as any one else ?" as he knew that I was in trouble by him. After that I went to the union. There I stayed until the 9th August. I came out with the intention of going to Shepherds' Green , but I altered m y mind, and came to Reading, and got to Reading about half-past seven. Ile was not in the shop when I went there. llis sister and some one else were picking fowls. I asked her where her brother was. She said he would be in in a few minutes. He came in. I asked w c t ar g e iv what e ul I did ; any t moor• He put on his coat and went ou t w i t h the him what Ile tho u g ht of the baby. I told him I wanted ed— he he did would dot no some mone y. I asked hint what he intended to do, and what I was asmigtohtdod.o as Il e said I li perso n who was picking the fowls. His sister said it was io use for me to wait, for he might not be home until 11 or 12, and being destitute of a farthing,, I walked about to see if I could see anything of him. I saw no tidings of him. The temptation was very great to lead me t - do what I did. He so frowned on me and the dear baby—which lie knew was his—it drove me to do what I never thought of before. I went on the road for home, and went inside a field and sat under a hedge till morning, and on Tuesday I went home. Mother asked me what I had done with it—where the baby was. I said I couldn't tell her. I then told her I lied put it out. The mayor, addressing the prisoner, said ; You are committed to the county gaol to take your trial at the ensuing assizes. ESCAPE OF A LUNATIC MURDERER.--It will be in the recollection of our readers that, at the last Cheshire assizes, Henry Bloomfield was charged with the wilful murder of his wife, at Lyme Handley, by killing her with a hatchet as she lay in bed. From the commission of the murder to the day of his trial the prisoner had been con fined in the Cheshire Lunatic Asylum, and on being brought into court the learned judge Mr. Justice Crompton ordered a jury to be einpannelled f or th e purpose of deciding wheteer the prisoner was in a fit state of mind to plead. The jury foand "'That the prisoner is of unsound mind, and not in a fit state to plead or take his trial," and he was accordingly remanded to prison. A representation of the case was made to the Home Secretary, and on Monday last an order came for his removal to 13ettielelietn, St. George's Fields, London. The medical attendant at the Castle thought it would be unwise to handcuff him, and, in company with a turnkey named 011erenhaw, and a boy who was on his way to a reformatory school, he was locked in the second class compartment of a railway carriage, the train leaving Ch e ster at 10 . 45 a.m. Nothing particular occurred until the train arrived at the Watford tunnel, which is a mile long, and about seventeen miles from London, when, just as the train was emerging from the tunnel, Bloomfield gave the turnkey ouch a terrific blow, as to knock bini senseless on his seat; and the next moment the maniac disappeared through the window. He was seen by several persons in the train to scramble up the embankment of the railway, but all traces of him from the monient.disap peered. The train was going at the rate of 40 miles an hour, and it is supposed that be can bardly have escaped i unhurt.

The little theatre in the Strand will be closed for . a week preparatory to the re-opening, with Miss Swan-- borough's complete company for the winter season, grt bleu-- day the Gth September. (From the Leeds Intelligeneer of Saturday.) There is a good business doing, and many buyers have made their appearance during the week. The evident up ward tendency of the wool market has had its effect in stimulating the demand, but buyers only make up very moderate parcels, and are not to be persuaded into pur chasing beyond their cautiously prepared lists. All the re ports agree that up to the present the demand on the part of the. rpnsil4rdile has been lest than was expected, and - is attributed to the fact that the great balk of last winter's stock has been left. on the drapers' hands. There is, too, a general complaint on the part of the latter that their money comes in very slowly, and they are not in so good a position to buy as they might be. On the other side, we have in the agricultural districts the promise of an early and abundant harvest, and a decided improvement in the labour market in the manufacturing districts; besides which the amount of trade done during the last 18 months has been so small that we may now look forward to a steady improvement. The wool sales are now drawing towards their close, and prices are more than firm. A full proportion has been taken by Yorkshire buyers, and Bradford has taken a much larger quantity than usual: THE GREAT DUDLEY CANAL TUNNEL. The completion of one of the most remarkable pieces of civil engineering of its class was celebrated on Friday. The new Dudley Tunnel of the Birmingham Canal was then formally opened. The effect will be to give a great impe tus to the coal trade, in its domestic branch, in East Wor cestershire and South Stafforshire. The tunnel is nearly two miles in length, it will allow two boats to go abreast, and is furnished with a double towing path. The construc tion of the tunnel, with that also of the works which have been rendered necessary by it, have cost the Birmingham Canal Company about £300,000, an expenditure, which, in these days of railways versus canals, would, by some persons, be thought to be somewhat injudicious. On the contrary, however, the investment is a good one. An ex tra toll of 4d. per ton will be charged upon all commodities passing through it. This 4d. will be appropriated to the paying off of the interest upon the £300,000, and the re paying of the capital. From this toll, if there should be a brisk trade in South Staffordshire during that time, the tunnel will be free in 15 years. There is very little danger of the traffic bein , ,r taking taken away by a competing rail- way; and, iu consequence of its construction, some thousand of acres of valuable thick coal west of the tunnel may now be opened up, to the great profit of the proprietors . of the land, and the advantage of the consumers in Birmingham in particular. The tunnel alone is 11 mile in length, but the open work in connection with it has made the total length of the new work 21 miles. The width is 27 feet; 17 feet of that die tance is water-way, and the remaining 10 feet is divided into two 5-feet towing paths. The height of the tunnel is 16 feet above the water, which in the middle of the channel is 6 feet deep. The engineers are Messrs. Walker, Burgess, and Cooper, of Westminster; the residen t en g ineer, Mr. James Walker. The first sod of the tunnel was turned on the 28th December, 1855, since which time between 500 , and 600 men have been regularly employed upon it. In its construction, 17 working shafts were used, some of which were 345 feet deep. The geological strata passed through were the bind, marl, coal, ironstone, and basalt. More than the average of life has been sacrificed—the total number of men killed is the tunnel having been ten. On Friday the directors of the Birmingham Caeal Com pany came from Birmingham in their boat upon the canal, and met a numerous company of gentlemen who had assembled at Dudley Port. The train of boats num bered six. Among the company were Sir George Nicholls, chairman of the company ; Mr. J. H. H. Foley, M.P.; Mr. W. H. W. Foley, M.P. ; Mr. W. 0. Foster, M.P. ; Mr. P. Williams, High S heriff of Staffordshire; the Mar quis of Chandos, chairman of the London and North- Western Railway; Admiral Moorsom and Mr. Moons, di rectors of the London and North-Western Company, decorated railway station and the boats were all gail y The train of boats had scarcely started before a mishap occurred, which at first looked somewhat serious. Some merchandise boats were following the train and striving Yard among each other for th e h onour of being first through the tunnel. The first boat was heavily laden with calcined iron ore and was down within the rapidity f or two of the water._ The surge occasioned by the succeeding boats beat over her i Ide o s a h n er d iu sl o i t e io fi n lle a r i ag went down with extraordinary rapidity.five our or men were in her at th e t i me, and narrowly escaped drowning. For all the succeeding boats, except an empty one, she stopped the passage. Afterwards, two men in attempt ing to get Into this empty boat, fell into the canal. The train entered the tunnel about a quarter to 12, and made the passage through in about 25 minutes. To any one who had ever been through the old tunnel, which this one will in great part supersede, the improvement must have been remarkably striking. Instead of an 811. dark tunnel, in which men have to lie upon their backs and " leg" through themselves and their boats, with their 20 tons burthen— an operation taking on an average eight hours—here was a tunnel with a channel wide enough for two boats, a towing path on each side railed off from the water by strong iron railing, and lighted with gas. There is now no necessity for one boat to wait for the passing through of the train in Isefore it before a journey can be commenced from the opposite end. Boats can pass each other and per film the whole 3,335 yards in 45 minutes, or one-tenth of the titre of the passage of the old tunnel. In the words of the engineer :—" Quite as great a difference as between the conveyance of goods by the heavy waggon upon turnpike reads, and of the locomotive engine upon railways." The great improvement was so manifest that loud bursts of applause came from the well laden train of boats directly it entered the tunnel, and it was continued throughout the whole tunnel. The arrivals at 'the several pieces of illumination, or at one or other of the seven working shafts that had been left permanently open, being the signals for the repetition of ' the applause. The masonry is excellent, there being no moisture perceptible from the sides of the shafts. So soon as the boats were through, they all c ongregated around that in which were the committee of directors, and Sir George Nicholls drank "Success to the Netherton tunnel."

Her Majesty's gunboat Ripple shipped her 68 and 32 pounder guns and stores on Saturday, in readiness to leave under convoy of the Dee, for Devonport. MR. CAIRD IN TLIE PULPIT.—He has no manu script before him,inet a shred of what the bumbler Scotch call paper, and abhor as they abhor a vestige of R ome ; but who could for a moment be misled into imagining those feli citous sentences extemporaneous, or that masterly symme trical discussion of the subject, so ingenious, so thoughtful, so rich in fine illustration, rising several times in the course of the sermon into a fervid rush of eloquence that you hold your breath to listen to—the ,excogitation of the moment? In hearing Mr. Caird you have nothing to get over. There is nothing that detracts from the general effect ; none of those disagreeable peculiarities and awkwardness in utterance, in gesture, in appearance,ln mode of thought, which grievously detract from the pleasure with which we listen to many dis tinguished speakers tilt we get accustomed to them, and learn to forget their defects in their merits and beauties. He begins quietly, but in a manner which is full of earnestness and feel ing; every word is touched with just the right kind and degree ofempltasis; many single words, and many little sentences which when you recall them do not seem very remarkable, are given in tones which make them absolutely thrill through you: you feel the preacher basin hien the elements of a tragic actor who would rival Kean. The attention of the congrega tion is rivetted; the silence is breathless; and as the speaker goes on gathering warmth till he becomes impassioned and impetuous, and the tension of the nerves of the hearer be comes almost painfsl. There is abundant ornament in style —if you were cooler you might probably think some of it carried to the verge of good taste; there is a great amount and variety of the most expressive, apt, and seemingly un studied gesticulation : it is rather as though you were listen ing to the impulsive Italian speaking from head to foot, than to the cool and unexcitable Scot. After two or three such climaxes, with pauses between, after Ike manner of Dr. Chal mers, the preacher gathers himself up for his peroration, which with the tact of the orator he has made more striking, more touching, more impressive than any preceding portion of his discourse. He is wound up often to an excitement which is painful to see. The full deep voice, so beautifully expressive, already taxed to its utmost extent, breaks into something which is almost a shriek; the gesticulation becomes wild; the preacher, who has hitherto held himself to some degree in check, seems to abandon himself to the full tide of his emotion ; you feel that not even his eloquent lips can do justice to the rash of thought and feeling within. Two or three minutes in this impassioned strain, and the sermon is done. A few moments of startling silence; you look round the church; every one is bending forward with eyes intent upon the pulpit; then there is a general breath and stir. You think the sermon has lasted about ten minutes; vou consult your watch—it has lasted three-quarters of an hour. —Fraser's Magazine for August, SUrrosED Mtritimt.—On Saturday information was received by Mr. Wm. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, of the finding of the body of a girl, not more than 12 years of age, in the Grand Surrey Canal, under such circumstances as to lead to the inference that the poor creature, atter being abused, bad been cast Into the water and drowned. A lad, whilst fishing hooked up the body, which was removed to the King's Arms d G t a be h er strings head Tavern. t l u t rn w e a d s ro fn u u li n d d s t o ha a t s t t o he bi b d o e n h n e e r t f s a h c e e b , n a n d had been tied tightly round her neck. Mrs. Sarah Mitchell, of No. 8, Victoria-street, who was employed to strip and wash the body, said that she discovered such unmistakeable evi dences that the girl bad Met with foal treatment, that a medical examination was necessary for the ends of justice. , Mrs. Louisa Buckett, of 45, James-street, who also examined the body very minutely, was likewise of the same opinion, and she had no doubt but that the girl bad been abused. The mother, Mary Ann Read, a - eery industrious nod re spectable woman, residing at No. 3, Victoria-place, York street, Walworth, came to the King's Arms and identified the body as being that of her daughter, named Hannah Read. She was a weekly servant, but she came home at night to sleep.. Abent a quarter before seven on Paturday morning she left home for the purpose of going to her situ ation, but she never saw her alive afterwards. She was quite certain that nothing had occurred to induce her to commit self-destruction.

THE LORD LIEUTENANT AT LONDONDERRY. The series of rejoicings organised in honour of his Excel lency's visit to ttik city terminated yesterday. Before his departure from " historic Derry," however, he was forced to participate in an incident that smacks somewhat of the ludicrous. Having zone to " Muff" to inspect the Temple moyle Agricultural School, the loyal inhabitants of that euphonically-rilmed t;Avn determined to relieve them selves of the imputation which its tide sugges , ed, and, accordingly, they presented his lordship with the following petition : To His Excellency the Earl of Elinton, Lord Lieutenant General and General Governor o: Ireland, " May it please your Excellency—We, the undersigned inhabitants of the town of Muff, Derry, and its vicinity, beg leave to tender to your Excellency our most cordial wel come. Your visit to this part of the country gives us an opportunity of soliciting a favour, which, if granted, will be highly appreciated. It will always be considered a dis tinguished honour, if our town, instead of bearing the name Muff,' shall, for the future, bear the name Eglinton.' Many reasons might be given for our desiring this change. One may be mentioned—the great inconvenience arising from our letters being frequently missent to another post town in Donegal, bearing the same name, and also to Muff, in the county Limerick. By condescending to comply with our request, this inconvenience will be remedied—a high honour will be conferred on our town, and a lasting memo rial will be left of your Excellency's visit to the nprt h." His EXCELLENCY, in reply, said he was flattered by the request of the inhabitants of Muff, and was happy to ac cede•to it. He was thankful for the kind reception he had received from all classes, and he was happy to think that, near Derry, a town called by his name would bring him to their remembrance when he would be away: (Cheers.) Through his Excellency's condesceflsion, the " Muffs" are now confined to Limerick and Donegal! THE REV. MR. SPURGEON. This gentleman's visit to Belfist has set its local press by the ears, one portion of it taking exception tcLhis preaching on the ground of its extravagance, while the other praises him as a model divine. Under these circumstances it may not be oat of place to afford the public an opportunity of judging which side has the best of the argument. The fol lowing extracts from his last sermon ought certainly to place the matter beyond dispute : " I do hate the Antinomian doctrine, which says you can be saved while you live in sin. Christ never will save any of his people in their sins, but he will save them from their sins. I understand you have very little of that doctrine among you here. But you have got people here mem bers of your church, poor worldlings, mean and pitiful wretches in God's sight, who live not as heirs of Heaven, but in dishonesty and unrighteousness— merchants, too, pet haps, who call in their servant and say—' John, have you sanded the sugar ? Yes.' John, have you put chicory in the coffee ?,, Yes.' Have you watered the rum ?'—' Yes.' `Have yon damped the tobacc o ?'—' Y es .' ' Very well, come in to prayers.' Plenty among you, be bound, whose yardsticks are not over the measure, anti whose pound weights are not such that you would like the inspec tors to see them. Your ch urch is like Noah's ark, clean and unclean crowd into it. By your fruits we must judge of piineit;Y is what we want in thes e d ays . I h ear d of saving faith. I did no t k now hi s id ea ayou. man P oncer ic tic ta l k of the matter until I saw him, when, putting his collection on the plate, feeling by the edge whether the piece was a threepenny or a fourpenny. That was his idea of saving faith." Mr. Spurgeon concluded wit h the fo llowing characteristic anecdote :—" Let me illustrate to y o u the plan of salvation by telling you a little story. Yon ma y have beard it before, hthuetrof was s l itatnellold a you again. who ail wenthOnce, in a parish i n E ng l an d , y the name of Jack. He was always drunk—indeed, he had no wit to be anything else. In going along the s treet, one day, he hea r d a num b er of women singing these si mple lines— " a poor sinner, And nothing at all, But Jesus Christ Is rny all in all.' The man gave up his drunkenness, and very soon gave up his wickedness. At last, Jack went to the minister and asked to be admitted to church membership. Th e m i n i s t er asked—' What is your experience ? ' I have none,' said Jack. Well, then, John, I cannot admit you,' says the minister. ' Well,' says Jack, have no Experience, bk— ., l a m a peer sinner, And nothing at all, But Jesus Christ Is ray all in all.' 'Well,' says the minister,' I will ask the deaf ons about your admission; but you will be expected to state your ex perience.' The deacons were assembled, and Jack was called on to 'answer their questions, to which Jack always re plied : " I'm a poor sinner, And nothing at all; But Jesus Christ is my all in all.' Says the old deacon, ' That is not enough; tell us your doubts and fears, and why you seek adtniss!on. Nay,' says Jack, I have no doubt whatever that " I'm a poor sinner And nothing at all ;' and I don't fear anything, "'For Jesus Christ Is my all in 811:4 It was at last agreed by a majority tbat Jack should be ad mitted, and IL was remarked, before long, that he was the best man in the church; but, as long as Jack lived, he stuck to that rhyme— .'l'm a poor sinnOr, And nothing at all; But Jesus Christ Is my all in all: That is the whole plan of salvation. May God give you grace ! Al ay God help you to lay it to your hearts ! Act up to those few lines—lay yourselves upon Jesus. And may God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost bless you. Amen." THE GALWAY PACKET STATION. One of the fastest and largest of Mr. Lever's ocean steamers, the Prince Albert, arrived at Halifax on the 6th instant at six a.m., thus making the passage from Galway in nine days and eight hours. Had she not encountered a stroll... head wind the trip would have been shorter. Mr. Lever has, it is understood, bought another vessel, which he means to supersede the Indian Empire, which, although a trustworthy ship, is not speedy enough for his purposes. In speaking of this new vessel, the Galway Vindicator says:— " It was with feelings of satisfaction and delight that the public and travelling community heard that the splendid steamship Pacifio, commanded by Capt. W. C. Thompson, is to leave this port for New York on the 24th inst. The well-known sea-going qualities of the steamship for safety and swiftness, and the world-wihe reputation which Capt. Thoespson has so enviably acquired in his long, arduous, and most successful career as an accomplished navigator and courteous gentleman, must ensure for the Pacific a full complement of passengersof every class, and as much freight as she can conveniently carry. " This magnificent steamship was first engaged in the Australian trade, in which she was eminently successful, having performed some of the fastest passages on record. She was afterwards taken up by the British Government for the conveyance of troops to the Crimea, and continued to be so engaged long after the war was over, the preference being given to her ever many other steamers. " For the last year she has been employed in the trade be tween Cot k and Milford Haven, performing her flips regu larly in all weathers without a single accident, and as it is a convincing proof of success and unrivalled superiority, it is only necessary to mention the preference which the merchants and travelling community of every port to which she has traded have always given to this steamship, and the estimation with which they regard her worthy and popular commander. "The American Steamship Company must be congratu lated on such a valuable acce ss i on to t h e i r li ne , an d no d ou b t can be entertained that with such magnificent steamships as the Pacific, and with such experienced and successful commanders as Capt. Thompson, the company will be es tablished upon a firm and profitable basis, the mails will be delivered in a shorter period of time, and the two conti nent.; brought together in a closer and more rapid commu nication than was ever before known." The Propeller sailed from Galway at four o'clock to-day. DISTINGUISHED PASSENGERS EY THE GALWAY ROUTE. Madlle. Piccolominl and party intend to sail from Galway ear ly uext mouth, to fulfil their engagements in the United st a tes. The engagement of this fascinating cautatrice, in conjunction with Garcia, Giuglini, and Aldighleri,_ has p r oved a very profitable speculation for the les see of the Theatre Royal, Dublin, who produced the B o he m i an Girl" this week in Italian ; the first time it was ever per formed here in the soft language of the south. NEW ASSISTANT BARISTERS% The Dublin Mercantile Advertiser says The ar rangements for the superannuation of a number of assistant barristers are in progre ss ; and, when they:are completed, a meeting of the Privy Council will be specially convened, in accordance with the act of last session, for creating vacan cies. According to the statements that have reached us the following names are likely to be submitted to the L or d Lieu tenant in Council for superannuation :—Messrs. E. TiCkell, Armagh; P. M. Murphy, Cavan ; W. E. M a j or, Cl are ; 'J . Henn, Donegal; T. Jones, Down; Hoa. J. Pl un k e tt, M eat h ; R. Nunn, Tyrone ; Jas. Bessonet, Waterford ; J.W. Lendrick, Wicklow. Those names are nine in number ; but it is pro bable, in the first instance, that only slx will be selected for su p era nnuation. Mr. Jonathan Henn, who has occupied a very distinguished position at the high bar, has, it is stated, expressed a wish to retire ; and it is probable his nephew, Mr. Rice Henn, w ill be one of the new assistant b arr i sters . W e have learned also that Mr. Thomas Lefroy, Q.C., second son and Mr. E. P enne f at h er, Q . C .I of the Lord Chief Jna t i ca, nephew of saran Pennefather, will be amongst the new ap pointments. Amongst those s p o ken of ns suce,essful candi dates are Mr. Otway, Q.C., and Messrs, Molyneux, Black burne (ton of the Lord Alstice of Appeal), Lane, Vance, and Purcell." • DEPLORARLE ACCIDENT AT LONDONDERRY. In connection with the visit of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant to Londonderry, there is one melancholy acci dent to record by which the lives of t wo men h ave b een placed in imminent danger. It would appear that, waiting. the arrival of his Excellency from the trip down the Lough with the Harbour, Commissioners, two guns, one of them a very large one, were placed opposite that part of the quay where the steamer was to arrive. At two p.m. a shot was fired from each gun. Before reloading both guns were sponged, as it is called, or cleaned out, to prevent any fire being left in side. When, however, the charge was being rammed home in the large gun, the p erson kee ping his thumb on the vent hole incautiously lifted it, and the air thus ge tti ng i n , cause d some remaining sparks in the gun to ignite the charge, and in as instant the two men at the muzzle were blown away. One of them was actually lifted up into the air, and fell a bleeding mass. Fearful to relate, b o th arms o f one o f t h e men, and one arm of the other, were shot right off into the river along with the rammer, and th e men susta i ne d some other serious injuries. Part of their clothes were lite rally torn into shreds, and strewn around. Both were taken to the infirmary, where every care was g i ven t h em . Th ey are lying in a most critical state at present. INTIMIDATION IN THE RIN G ' S COUNTY. A local journal contains the following paragraph, from which it appear s that the agricultural population of this county are still s uffering from the disc on t en t a l rea dy a ll u ded to in these columns :—" A few nights since a number of pea called at go homes of five men, who are farm labourere in the employment of Mr. John Sills, of Derrinboy, near Frankford, in this county, and ordered each of them, at the peril of a second and retributory visit, not to reap the corn fields of that gentleman with a scythe, and with no other implement, if required to do so, than the more slow and popular reaping-hook. No violence was used, as those men have stated, yxcept. the threats ef punishment if they disre garded this mandate. Mr. Sills is the owner (d'art extensive farm, which he works in a high state of cul►ivation. It is likewise asserted that a threatening notice to the same effect was found posted near their residences, but this was not given up to or found by the police, and the men state that they do not know who were their nocturnal visitors."

The principal characteristic of the trade of the town for the last six weeks is the alternating aspect which it has presented; in the course of that brief period there have been indications of a return to a more healthy state of things than has prevailed during the year, with intermitting stages of languor checking progress. At the present moment business is exactly in that condition; we cannot say that there has been any retrograde movement since we wrote last week, but we doubt very much whether any advance has been made, or whether the home trade has been quite as good as it was at the commencement of a week ago. It . - . Is not Improbable that for some time the commerce of the country will exhibit appearances of much of the same com plexion as it has done of late ; and that we have yet some time to wait befire business assumes its natural state. In this very exceptional state of business it is most diffi cult to give an exact idea of the condition of trade in the town generally; its condition at the present time is so thoroughly exceptional in every respect in almost all the leading branches, and the remark applies so completely to factors as well as merchants, that it would be a'most im- possible to cite a special instance in which an improvement had taken place which might not meet with a contradiction, and for both there would be equal foundation. As regards manufacturers, a good many have been busy during the last fortnight or three weeks upon special orders, whilst others in the same trades have been slack, scarcely sufficient orders on the books to keep the workpeople employed. The factors are in much the same condition ; in the agricultural dis- tricts, mtwithstanding the circumstarce of the markets being thinly attended, trade is unquestionably looking up; the shopkeepers are evincing a disposition to make up assortments of goods of which they are almost out of stock ; and although they make their orders one-half or perhaps one-third what they usually are, even for articles of the smallest value, these are a great help as trade now is, and are sufficient to enable the manufacturers to work on. The factors who take the northern counties and Scotland are not doing so well. The orders sent borne are still small, and credit has been so greatly shaken in Glasgow that some time will yet elapse before such progress is made towards re covery that any very decisive improvement can be expected. With respect to Yorkshire and Lancashire, the evidence is such as to encourage the hope that it will be maintained; the population is more fully employed, and the shopkeepers generally in those districts report that the prospects of trade are more encouraging. Such is the tenor of the advices received here in the course of the week, and they are corroborated by the girder-sheets sent home, which are undoubtedly better filled. The foreign trade is subject to much the same inequality as is that of this country. Such of the merchants as confine their operations almost exclusively to a particular branch of the export trade are doing only a very moderate amount of business, orders being smaller than they have been for the last few years, whilst all the foreign buyers who have been here lately have been restricting their operations as much as possible. The merchants who do a more general trade are doing a better business than they have been for several months. The accounts from South America have not been of a very encouraging character for some time; but lately there has been a fair sprinkling of orders in hand for those markets, and the latest advices rather tend to show that monetary concerns in that quarter are becoming easier. The long credit which it is necessary to give is the only drawback on this branch of the export trade, which has of late years very much expanded, and has, in fact, become one of the most important auxiliaries of our foreign trade. The accounts from Australia report very little change in the condition of the trade in that quarter; business appears to have been rather more active, but it is not safe to resume shipments at present, except of such articles as are specially ordered ; upon abstinence in this respect very much depends the restoration of the trade of the colony, so far as its imports are concerned, to something like a healthy condi- Lion. The commercial advices by the East India mail report trade to be dull, with little prospect of a movement at present. The accounts are pretty much the same in this respect from Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras; at the latter especially trade was languid, and business concerns were not altogether in a satisfactory state. In the continental trade tbere has been very little change for some time past; upon the whole, it is dull, and the symptoms of improvement are not such as to be very encouraging. The Russian trade is still an exception to this; again, in the course of the last few days, orders from that quarter have been received here, and it is stated that others to a considerable amount may be expected before the season closes. The American trade is still only moderate ; the orders received here are small, and are likely to be so this year. The commercial advices from New York describe a slight increase of activity in the demand for imported goods, but generally business of all kinds continued to show great dulness. In connection with the American trade we may draw attention to a very serious difficulty with which the mer chants of this town have to contend in the transmission of goods to the States. The Cunard Steam-packet Company (possessing one of the finest fleets of boats in the world) now enjoys almost a monopoly in the conveyance of goods between this country and America. Since the Collins Com pany gave up this line merchants have had to depend upon the Cunard steamers in all cases where quickness of transit was essential. Lately, however, they have been subject to repeated disappointment in this respect, and in some instances the delay has been attended with serious loss. Goods sent to Liverpool for shipment by one packet are very frequently left until the next, and in fact there is no longer a certainty when merchandise sent to Liverpool may be despatched for New York. The cause of this uncertainty and delay has been thus explained to us. There Is a company in existence performing the packet service between the port of Havre and New York ; the Cunard Company look upon this in the light of a rival concern, and are exerting themselves to get the goods shipped at Havre on to their own boats; with a view to secure them, an advantage is offered in the shape of cheap freights. The Cunard Company are conveying goods from Havre to New York at £1 per ton ; whilst the charge from Liverpool to merchants here is £3 per too. The com pany keep a small steamer plying continually between Havre and Liverpool ; on its arrival at the latter port the whole of its freight destined for America is at once put on board the packet about to sail, and only the smell space left is appropriated to English merchandise. We are informed that it has been an occurrence not unfrequent of late that the freightage of goods from Havre in the Cunard boats has been so considerable that the company has been compelled to leave other goods consigned for New York by a particular packet ; hence the injury sustained by merc hants to which our attention has been called. Of course the Cunard in this have a perfect right to act as they think fit this matter, and as they believe to be consistent with a regard for their own interests ; but the syste m is certainly workin g adversely for the interests of the merchants and manufac turers of this country, who are to a great extent in the hands of the Cunard Company for obtaining any redress. The Canada trade continues dull; the shipments of goods from this quarter this year will be comparatively trifling. Various causes have operated to check the import trade and to depress the internal trade of the country. There is scarcity of money in the colony; prod ace is not selling at a price sufficiently remunerative to stimulate trade generally ; the panic in the United States last year has also operated adversely for Canada, and the protectionist system adopted by the Legislature has been sufficiently high to diminish the customs, and of course to depress the import trade. The new tariff adopted by the Legislature is less restrictive than it was originally proposed; instead of raising it 25 per cent., the duties on manufactured goods, which were previously 15, the rate has been fixed at 20 per cent., to w hich point the scale has risen in a f ew years from 2} per cent. The 5 per cent. ad valorem duties include iron, whether rod, bar, or hoop, nail and spike rod, hoop or tyre for driving wheels or locomotive?, bent or welded, boiler plates, railroad bars, rolled plates, plate and angle, or other iron, shaped or unshaped, when forming part cf an iron ship imported in pieces; rivets for ditto; wire, lead in eheeta 1000MOtiVe and engine frames, cranks, crank axles, ~, ~i
