TO THE ELECThRS OF SOUTH LAN-, CASHIRE. Richmond Hill, Liverpool, Ist July, 1846. Gentlemen,—l hasten to acknowledge the receipt of a requiAtion, signed by more than nine thousand electors of South Lancashire, in viting Me to become a candidate for the seat now vacant by the elevation of Lord Francis Egerton to the peerage. To represent a constituency distinguished by its numbers, its In %Wry, and its intelligence, and by its great influence on the cha racter and policy of the nation, I esteem one of the highest honours to Which a man may attain. With feelings of the greatest pleasure I answer your call, and offer Myself as a candidate for your suffrages. ._When I address e d you at the period of the election in the Spring of 15 . 44 , I avowed myself the strenuous advocate of perfect freedom o f Fae.—lstated th at my experience, as a merchant, enabled me to say that it was a vital question; that it involved the freedom, the pros perity, and, probably, the peace of the country. Since that time I have to the best of my ability constantly sup ported the pri nc i ples I then avowed, and it will be a continual e o z urce of gratification to me to reflect that I have given my humble ertions in aid o f the Free-traders of Englabel, by whose reasoning, en ergy, and prudence, the most eminent public men have been con verted, the interests of classes and the prejudices of party have been overthrown, and one of the greatest, the wisest, and I hope one of the most enduring, reforms has been peacefully achieved. I ant well aware that other important measures will shortly engage tPoytion of th at public attention which has la'ely been almost ex clusivelyoir con centrated upon the question of Free Trade. The state I reland is a cau se of much anxiety ; Ireland must he wisely amid m-" lna nely governed, a n d we must diligently seek and promptly apply e true rem ed i es for the grievances of which that country has long 111 plained. She must no longer with justice refer to the inequality of either her Parliamentary or her Municipal Franchise ; in fact, Ireland must be governed as if no sea were between us. Though much has been gained our labours will not terminate until !lie last fett er upon commerce and industry shall have been removed. Our o PPonents are powerful and fertile in resources, and it is possible that some of them may not be over scrupulous as to the means of arre sting our progress. Vigilance, the price of freedom, continues to be the first duty of the Representatives of the People. However deficient I may be in ability, I pledge myself zealously and con stantly to advocate your interests, which are those of the country and of mankind. Above all things, we must promote the intellectual progress of the People, and so cJilsoliclate the triumphs of industry, as we Nvidely diffuse the blessings of a sound education. We shall thus, I hope, be enabled, at no distant period, whilst we improve the condition of the People of England, to set an example to the world of the right U se Of power and wealth in the extension of freedom and the preser vation of peace.—l have the honour to be, your faithful servant, WILLIAM BROWN.

And w h o i s J ac ques Bonhomme? per l. chance the reader may ask. Why, Jacques Bonhomme is to France what John Bell is to England, the impersonation of the national character ; and whoever wishcs to know the true character of the French people—that is of the sound and.thinking portion of them, in fact, the great and powerful majority, which is quiescent from its very strength, which has but to will to be obeyed—should read this paper. Jacques Bonhomme is an excellent fellow with sound good sense and a warm heart, somewhat preju diced perhaps (and so is John Bull fbr that matter), but sound at the core. We have a great liking for this said Jacques Bonhomme. We have a very valuable paper on the " Albigenses and the Troubadours ; and Mr. Albert Smith continues his demonstations of " Popular Zoology." The tourists are the subject of the present dis• section. The following account of the doings of the con ventional tourist in Paris is true to the letter:— "At Paris he goeth tc - 11IeuTee's,or Lawson's, and seeth the sights by rule, as they are put down in the handbook. He formeth his notions of 'Paris in this wise. He stayeth at an English hotel, and is waited on by English servants. He meeteth nought but English people at the table d'hote; he bath an English lacquais de place, and readeth the English papers. He buyeth even English things to take home with him, at shops where they write up "English spoken here," and speaketh English himself, all day long. And then he sayeth to himself, "when I get home I will write a book upon Paris and its people." He thinketh it •right to dine once at Verey's, or Vefour's; and once at the Rocher de Can cale ; and delighteth in ordering the dinner himself, albeit, he maketh wild shots at the dishes, and if there is a party of three or four, amazeth the garcon, by ordering a portion a piece, for everybody. He cloth not much like the French theatres, but goeth as a duty, and laugheth with the audi ence, as do many at the French plays in London ; but he un derstandeth not a line he heareth ; and therefore doth he prefer Franconi's. lie findeth that his best clothes, brought from London, produce not the effect he desireth in Paris ; and thereon riggeth himself out in the Palais Royal. But he doth not approach nearer to the Frenchman for all that ; and when be goeth to the hiessageries, in the Rue Notre Dame des Vic toires, and asketh," Esker eel e sr oon diligence,mossieu,poor Genave ?" he is disgusted to hear the clerk reply inconti nently, " Yes, sir, every morning at eight o'clock." Everard Clive contributes a clever Plutarchian parallel of Jugurtha and Abd-el-Kader. This paper is illus trated by a portrait of the Emir, drawn from the life, by De Rozetti, an artist in the French service, while a prisoner in Abd-el-Kader's camp. The following de scription of the personal appearance of this celebrated Arab chieftain, which is quoted as for a forthcoming work by Count St. Marie, may prove not uninteresting to some of our readers:— "His costume is very simple. He wears the Arab haick, fixed on the top of his head by a string of camel hair. Over his woollen shirt he has a white burnouse, and over that an other burnouse, striped white and brawn. His legs are en closed in yellow morocco boots. His beard is black, and un shaven, like all the Arabs who have made the pilgrimage to Mecca. He is deeply marked with the small-pox. His features are prominent and decided, and his full black eye is expressive of extraordinary firmness of character." A glorious " Tipperary Hall," redolent of fun and frolic, learning, wit, and poetry, concludes this, one of the best numbers of Bentley that has yet appeared. scarcely approached as he is in the latter. We renew our acquaintance gladly with the 'Cabinet of Gems and Curiosities;" those for July being culled from Hogg, Drayton, Barnefield. Milton, Shakepere, and others; but wepcnfess ourselves surprised that, in treatieg of the nightingale, any reference to Keats's gliltioni ode to that melancholy songstress is omitted. Among the " Mis cellaneous Gems" we have dainty fragments ; and what a delicious thought is that from Marston's " Gerald"— " A statue's silence—is the sculptor's voice." The verses to the no;e, by Samuel Go ver, are likewise brimming with beauty. There are seine lines, entitled `• The Picture Gallery," which we are fain to attribute to the accomplished actress Miss Vandenhoff—can our conjecture be correct ? In the "Voices from the Past," there is discoverable not only melody but feeling ; the writer had the perceptive faculties well developed we should imagine, and deep susceptibilities for the beauti ful and tender. "0. how I love to listen," and " I can't make up my mind," by I. H. I. are of a contrasting excellence, the former pensive, the latter playful. The poetical contributions which are, however, the most to our mind in this number are entitled " Sunlight upon the Waters," from the pen which produced the "Rural Sonnets." From the number of composite phrases scattered through these sonnets upon sunlight, we should imagine that the author has latterly become im bued with a fondness for the Anglo-German diction of Carlyle, for example, " atoms-shatter'd," " radiance flush'd," " stormleatur'd," and the like. Nevertheless, this somewhat rugged concomitant does not deteriorate either the music of the metre or fantastic delicacy of the imagery. After dilating upon the lustrous gling of sunlight and water in the rainbow, comes this charming sonnet : "Lo ! on a lesser scale, 'tis still the theme, — Spangling in dew-drops o'er the bladed grass; Bright'ning the shallows of the pebbled stream, Thro' which the naked-footed urchins pass; When in some reservoir, or large, or small, It draws the basking inmates to the brim, As, on their scales of gold and silver, fall Th' exhilirating rays in which they swim ; Or when some well-oar'd boat, in swift advance, Quickens the strokes from which the waters glance; Or when, to take her bath, th' imperial swan Flutters, for glee, the surface in her track, Stoops her arch'd neck, down-diving, and, anon, Showers liquid brilliants o'er her plumage-ruffled back." Such is the description of poetry introduced thus plenti fully into the pages of Hood, and we are singularly mistaken if this difference from the ordinary run of magazine literature does not prove acceptable to its purchasers. Though we are haunted by the " Bush ranger," and the " White Cloud," and " Nell Gwynne," and the " Seige of Antioch," we are so well satisfied with the other portions of this periodical that we close the number with satisfaction.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach hi health thll threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and tkeir ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician sty more than their own lawyer, but it is Insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in theirLseveral healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to he in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lik e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation ,f our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

Neither in variety nor literary merit is the July number of Dolman deficient : the magazine proceeds prosperously under its present editorship, and may now be looked upon as permanently established. As the professed organ of the Roman Catholic body, its pages will be resorted to with peculiar interest at this moment, in consequence of the recent demise of Pope Gregory XVI., an occurrence of religious importance to the spiritual children of the Papacy, and of some political importance to the people of Europe generally. A brief allusion to the death of the Sovereign Pontiff, in an article by the editor, will more than satisfy curiosity on this point, as it is written in a strain of earnest simplicity. The memory of Gregory XVI. appears to be regarded with affection by the Catholics ; and the nomination of Pius IX. us his successor is mentioned with considerable satisfaction. We are gratified at the revival of " Glean ings in the Green Isle," as the writer has a buoyancy of manner and a spontaneousness of expression (we can give it no other name) which we particularly admire : the present instalment is infinitely the best that has hitherto appeared. Mr. Price's contribution, entitled " The Infidel," is the more excellent because—invested with much dramatic interest—it instils a very noble principle, and is pointed with a solemn moral. The conclusion of the tale is powerfully drawn : it reminds one of Warren's inimitable " Passages, from the Diary of a Late Phy sician." For the pleasure of our reader we will tran scribe some verses on " The Coquette, by Miles Gerald Keon." They are animated by a touching and beautiful sentiment. The lady, in her old age, is seated at her casement, and sings the follow ing:— Mv heart is sinking With ever thinking Of him who wooed me in early life; lie had scarce a rental, But his look was gentle, As, whisp'ring, he prayed me to be his wife. " I cannot proffer A wealthy coffer," — So ran his words in the days of youth,— " But your husband's glory May be named in story, And you shall engross a heart of truth." But I answered slightly, Laughing so lightly, That my love was love of the rich and high, " And Cat I cared not, Indeed, I dared not." And thus I rebuked him, I know not why. He bowed, and departed, Quite broken-hearted, And long I thought he might come once more; But, 0 my life's morning ! One pretence of scorning, Clouded the light which your moments bore. Thus my heart is sinking, As I still sit thinking How he prayed me softly to be his wife Though small was the rental, The look was so gentle, Of him who wooed me in early life. Acurious paper on "The Requiem Bell" follows, in which the antiquity of its use and the variety of its usages are narrated. In its every tone that voice seems to have been Lando Deem verum ; on Sundays, plebem voco ; and on jubilees, festo decoro ; but its most mournful cry was Defunctos ploro The illustrative recollections given upon these several heads betoken no inconsiderable re search. In the article " Upon the Prospects of Agri culture" we are pleased to remark that the author has no forebodings of ruin to our tenant-farmers or landed proprietors, from those glorious measures of commercial reform which are now, thank God, indelibly written on the statute-book. But although his theory, that the conversion of arable land into pasture land will be a necessary and advantageous consequence of the unre stricted importation of foreign corn, is ingenious enough, we cannot conceive that it is based upon anything like substantial argument. The notions may bo historically probable, but they are logically improbable. We anti cipate neither a preponderance in pasture nor in arable land, but an ultimate balance of both. In drawing out his scheme the writer has altogether overlooked the circumstance that butcher's meat and live cattle are being, and will continue to be, very extensively im ported, as well as grain : now the Romans imported no butcher's meat or cattle (or scarcely any) while they were wholly supplied with flour from abroad—the con sequence was they were obliged to depasture their herds at home. The deductions of the author go therefore for nothing in point of fact—in point of ingenuity and novelty they are clever. Of the memoir by the Rev. Charles Plowden, which is commenced i n the pr e s e nt number, we shall refrain from expressing any opinion until it is further advanced. " A Plea for Eustace Budgell" is a singular effort to redeem the memory of that essayist from the obloquy with which it has been heretofore covered, and is written by the author of the " Vicissitudes of Illustrious Men," which series we are glad to see will be resumed next month. Without any question, the most delightful contribution in this num ber of Dolman is that upon " The Last of th e Bona partes,Prince Napoleon Louis ;" it is charmingly written. From the recent escape of this unfortunate and adventur ous Prince, and from the romance which invests his most illustrious name; from the agreeable elegance and sparkle of the composition, and from the fact of the authoress be ing a personal acquaintance of this descendant of the Great peculiarly apropos. There is a Napoleon, we have no hesitation in calling her perform ance the best magazine article of the month. The pre sence of Prince Louis in London at this moment, only tends to enhance the interest of the narrative, and ren der llietryin of the writer, which is—(really we can think of no other word to express our meaning) —capital. From its piquancy and freshness we should conjecture the authoress to be young in the mysteries of writing, we will quote a sentence descriptive but that iinnatlhltehreemsposreeeciftsserious portions of the paper she e is well proportioned, about five feet discloses a perfect familiarity with those same mysteries. h e ight, with light-brown ii ti h o a n i . r, moustache, For the gratification of ladies who delight in the so-called o sc r ie th n e ce p o ri f n L ce av :_ at , e , r li , a ood and high forehead, and pmreiludxccolutenvtaelniearn. seven inches in aveelnhimself " a great man memorialist, he may, with countenance." the in reasonable ee other arseopinionoanf w taeb o rol r . fe, his opportunities, hp Dolman lri b nt eua accomplished sustains u d e s e s t a , al prove HOOD'S.

Honour to " Pyrrhus the First," the hero of this year's Derby, whose likeness, by Hacker, from Her ring's picture, forms the frontispiece to the Sporting Magazine. Bateman's " Homeward Bound," which ap pears as the companion plate, is excellently, and even brilliantly illustrative of the subject. The most singular innovations upon the usual literature of this monthly are, first and foremost " The Life of a Foxhound," capi tally conceived by John Mills ; and " The Adventures of a Hunter," from the random and rollicking Scribble. It is strange, the notion never having entered into the imagination of the sportsman before, and doubly strange the two themes, so similar, appearing now together. It looks like a preconcerted resolution to astonish the sub scribers. No matter, however, to what the circumstance may be attributable, it is a capital idea, and promises rare merriment, and no little initiation into the myste ries of the field and the kennel. " Sound and Unsound Horses" is another paper well executed ; and, with a great bulk of other contributions, renders the July number better than usual. SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE. "Progress of Discovery in Australia" is au interest ing narrative of the return of Captain Sturt's expedition, and is agreeably written, rather in a strain of accuracy than of elegance. A long poem, descriptive of the death of the Rev. Ernest Schlotz, and headed " The Missionary's Grave," is remarkable more for its length than for any intrinsic poetic force; the inferred moral, however, is instructive if not very impressive. From the statistical papers upon Van Diemen's Land and Antigua, much useful information may be gleaned.; and the tables appear to be compiled with no inconsiderable care. Charles Hooton supplies the moat readable por tion of the magazine, and the " Australian Sketches" are not devoid of an air of actuality. With its accus tomed amount of correspondence, and a pleasant sprink ling of miscellaneous subjects, the Colonial for July is, as a whole, creditable to its indefatigable editor. THEFREEMASON'S QUARTERLY REVIEW: We have repeatedly had occasion to notice the meri torious manner in which this publication is conducted; and, as far as its particular class of readers is concerned, it need dread no " damning with faint praise." " The Freemason's Lexicon" alone, which is continued from number to number, must prove a most acceptable boon to all members of that mystic brother hood; while it evinces the earnest regard which the entrepreneur has to their interest. One of the best con tributions before us is the article upon the " Knights Templar," an order founded in 1110 by Pope Galasius. Though at the outset this celebrated order of knight hood consisted of only nine members, its numerical force increased rapidly under the fostt ring influence of the Crusaders; but the name of Templars was only conferred upon the members some time after the origi nal institution of the order. Baldwin 11. appears to have first christened them. By the Council of Trent, A.D. 1127, all the donations, privileges, lands, and ho nours granted by successive Pontiffs to the Knights Templars were fully confirmed; but they were subse quently, is 1186, scattered throughout Christendom when Jerusalem was captured by Saladin. Their prin cipal celebrity, as a wise, sagacious, and erudite race of men, devoted to a half-clerical, half-chivalric existence, dates from this period, when the Grand Master esta blished himself at Cyprus. They have since, after en joying considerable political authority, dwindled down to a comparative insignificance, and still remain secretly in existence in various parts of Europe. This circumstance, nevertheless, we cannot induce ourselves to regret, as, however admirably their power might have influenced society many centuries back, we believe they would be little better than a Quixotic race of bdings now-a-days. Their time has gone by—like many other orders, and like many empires and cities, they have flourished, have performed the duties for which they were summoned into being, and have fallen. The paper in connexion with the Associa tion, in the Freemason's Review, is a document found under the high altar of the Temple Church, London, in 1540 ; it is an extraordinary curiosity. ALMANACK FOR THE MONTH. This little miscellany of wit, and whim, and jest, is favourably distinguished from its predecessors by a paper entitled " Painters and the Premier," for the in troduction of which the apology by which it is prefaced is not needed. The subject is the sad fate of poor Haydon, and every artist would do well to ponder over the following sensible observations to which his melan choly history has given rise : " Haydon's history reads a terrible lesson to the aspirant after honour as a historical painter on a large scale. It may be that the decoration of the new Houses of Parliament is but the dawn of a demand for nobler works than can be easily accommodated in the private gallery, and which are altogether excluded by size from the boudoir or the drawing room. If so, there may still be hope for the historical painter. But the advice which we feel strongly urged by the sad fate of R. B. Has-don to impress on the young artist, is to strive after tile elements of high art which are to be found in lowly, but not vulgar, subjects. " That there is, for example, a field which nestles under the shadow of the domestic affections, as truly now, as when Raphael painted his Madonnas—types to all time of maternal love and matronly purity—is proved by such pic tures as the " Mother and Child" of Leslie in this year's ex hibition. That the colourist need not work on the scale of Titian's canvasses, if it needed proof, is evident from the brilliant " Mulready" which lights up the same walls. In fact, we would recommend to the artist that attention to the conditions of time and place which we fear poor Hayden not only neglected, but systematically trampled under foot. These conditions were scrupulously observed by the old masters. It is in these conditions that we find explanations of the strangest peculiarities of form in canvasses, and what without them would be oddity in the arrangement of de -1 signs. - "Just as much as Teniers differed from Titian, though on different grounds, should an English artist of the nineteenth century depart from the practice of an Italian religious painter of the fourteenth, or a transcriber of Flemish in teriors of the seventeenth. It is the spirit of art which is im mortal. Its forms change like all other external manifesta tions. While we demand of the artist this study of his own time, and its requirements, we demand nothing inconsistent with the highest and purest devotion to art. It is his bounden duty, as an interpreter of the beautiful, to seek for it in the haunts where its existence is least suspected, and to bring it forth in forms with which it is usually held to bein consistent or at least incongruous." THE UNION. The " Painter and Critics," with which the present 'number opens, is an exceedingly well told anecdote of an incident in the life of Mignard, who painted a Magda lene so completely in the style of Guido, that it was sold for a large price as a genuine Guido, and was pro nounced to be genuine even by Le Brun, when, to the utter confusion of the critics, Mignard came forward and proved that it was his work. The novel of " William Fleming" is continued, and the comparative view of the rise and progress of Liberty in England and France is concluded. " Sketches of British Landladies," which are commenced in the present number, promise well. We have also the first of a series of papers on the Jesuits, in which the author gives a sketch of the life of the founder of the order.

A ROBIN'S NEsT Pi AN ORUAN.—On Sunday last, during divine service in St. Michael's Church, in this town, the organist found some obstruction in the organ that pre vented him playing, and on searching for the cause after the congregation were dismissed, discovered, to his no small as.. tonishment, a robin's nest, with three young ones in it. They were not disturbed in their singular retreat, but were left to take their flight, which they will be able to do in a few days.—Shropshire Conservative, lIE FIRST HOUSE IN LONDON T A PARODY ON " THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Thursday Morning. SlR,—ln last night':; report of the proceedings before the Committee on this line, the Chairman is made to observe, " That the evidence which had hitherto been tendered had been chiefly by the Great Western and South-Western line, but that the Committee required in,re impartial eti idence In favour of the line." I pre sume he meant to observe, that the evidence against the line had been tendered chiefly by the two opposing me nop:4ies, and that, therefore, he considered it partial and intereAcd. And this brings me to the question I wished to propose, viz., because a line of railway be tween two places is conceded to a certain body of share holders to construct, is the whole adjacent country ne cessarily included ? In other words, is the whole south and west of • England to be handed over to the tender mercies of the two gigantic monopolies above-men tioned ? Or is an independent company, consisting mainly of the inhabitants of the various towns and land holders along the• line to be permitted to Construct a line, three-fourths of which already belong to them ? 1 assure you that the most intense dislike has been ex cited in the minds of the inhabitants of Southampton against Mr. Sheriff Chaplin and his company, by the gross ingratitude shown, in return for their liberality in granting them a site for their terminus out of the town property, by the utter indifference' to the interests of the town, and by the mean persecution of some of the tradesmen who presumed to differ with his mightiness. If the Committee reject the Manchester and Southampton line, it will be considered tantamount to a decision that no line shall approach that port, except under the aus pices of the detested South-Western management. .

A journeyman baker, of Birkenhead, named Thomas Hallwick, anticipating a complete revolution in his trade by the operation of free traffic in the bread stuffs of America, determined to be beforehand with the age, and go out to New York to be instructed in the Yankee method of making maize and chopped straw palateable. Two heads being, in Thomas's opinion, better than one in all deeds of " high emprise," he proposed to a comely looking servant girl, of Liverpool, to link her lot with his, and try the chances of the world of freedom for whites and slavery for niggers beyond the Atlantic. The fair damsel blushed consent, and straightway left the kind mistress with whom she had been long a tried and trusty, though humble friend and servant, to better her condition. She went to reside for three weeks with an aunt in Birkenhead, to fulfil the requirements of the law ; and having been duly asked, under the provisions of the Dissenters' Marrisge Bill, his reverence was waited upon, and the "happy day" fixed. Yester day morning the parties were all assembled at the Roman Catholic meeting house in Birkenhead, the ring was ready, and a car was waiting at the door to convey them, after the ceremony, to the beach, whence they were to embark, at one o'clock, in " a liner," then lying in the river, for " the land of promise." _ An awkward delay now occurred, in consequence of the non-appearance of the superintendant registrar, or his deputy, to legalise their proceedings ; and the patience of " his Reverence" being exhausted, the aunt of the bride was dispatched in search of the truant official, and she speedily returned with the heart-rending intelligence that he was at Knutsford Sessions, on town• ship affairs which would not brook his absence. Hay ing somewhat recovered from the stunning effects of this piece of news, the bride and her aunt went to the office of the official to try whether this difficulty could not be surmounted : and after due inquiry, it was dis covered that another registrar, who was then in Liver pool, could give legal force to the contract, and for him there was forthwith such " running and searching," as had never been seen since the lovely bride of Nether by was abducted by Young Lochinvar. At length he was found, and, on reaching the meeting-house, a new difficulty had arisen : one certificate had been issued by the absent deputy, and a ',second could not be made until that had expired. Another delay now took place, until at length an unobtrusive letter, lying at the police•office, was found to contain the missive, which had been sent per post from Knutsford. Twelve o'clock was now fast approaching, beyond which mystic hour no hymeneal torch could be lighted, and, with desperate haste, " his Reverence " coupled the swain and damsel as they thought " until death did them part ;" but, unfortunately, when the necessary documents were to be signed, it was found that the two parties had each resided in different parishes, and only one certificate was forthcoming. The marriage was, therefore, null and void. The feelings of the no longer " happy pair," at having the cup of bliss dashed from their lips, " may be imagined, but cannot be described ;" and we have not heard whether the baker prevailed upon his half-wedded spouse to share his fortunes, and trust to a more fortunate " chapter of accidents," really to make the twain one flesh, when they arrive in Ame rica.—Liverpool Courier. SCIENTIFIC MISSION OF COUNT CASTELNAU TO SOUTH AMERICA.—The Count de Castelnau, who was sent on a scientific mission by the French Government to South America, has just sent in the following report to the Minister of Public Instruction :—" Lima, Jan. 26, 1846. Monsieur le Ministre,—After travelling two years and a half in the in terior of the continent, we have reached Lima by Arequipa. The distance we have travelled over, including our excur sions, is above 2,500 leagues. I already have had the honour of informing your Excellency of our arrival at Chuquisaca; from that town we proceeded to Potosi, famed for its silver mines, once so rich, now so poor. For five-and-twenty leagues from that place our road lay through most difficult passes of the highest summits of the Andes; the gigantic condor is the only inhabitant of these barren regions where vegetation is extinct. The road then improves, and, once on the great Bolivian table-land, remains flat till you reach La Paz, though still in a barren region, where the rarefaction of the air, owing to the great elevation, ' causes the painful sensation know under the name of sarrache. These vast tracts of table-land abound in large herds of llamas and merinos—the latter are wild. Passing by Oruro, we reached La Paz, where the ambulant govern ment of Bolivia was established. The anniversary of the battle of Ingari was being celebrated. On reaching the shores of Lake Titicaca, we perceived the celebrated ruins of the ancient palace of the Incas of Tiaguanaco. One of the gateways is an admirable piece of workmanship, and wo took different drawings of it. We entered Peru by the Bridge of Desaguadero. Having reached Puno amidst vio lent and incessant storms of snow and hail, I deemed it advisable to relinquish for the moment our Intended route to Cuzco, and to proceed along t he coast to Lima, with the intention of returning to Cuzco after the rai n y season. I therefore struck in the direction of Arequipa, and thence to Lima. When we have taken the rest we are so much in need we will turn our steps towards C uzco, whence we will of, we to join the Amazon river, by em b ar ki ng on e n o th e Apurimac. This will take us across the whole length of the Pampa del Sacramento, and presents many dangers to be overcome.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY.—One of those dreadful occur rences, at the very mention of which the blood runs cold, arising from the use of intoxicating liquor, has taken place in Dublin. The unfortunate victim to the fury of a man mad with drink, named Jane Boland, resided in Loftuslane, near Capel-street. It appeared that she, was confined on Tuesday morning last of a dead child; and a witness swore OA sife confessed her lit;shaud, when in a state of intoxication on Snr.day, came into the room where she was lying; that he struck her with a stick several times across the belly, and pointed to a stick that was used for drying clothes out of the window; che added that immediately after she was struck she was seized with severe vomiting and acute pain in the belly; that she had felt the movements of the child imme diately before that, but never felt it afterwards. The coro ner's jury returned the following verdict :—" We find that Jane Boland's death was caused by extensive peritonitis, pro duced by blows inflicted on her by her husband; William Boland, while in a state of intoxication." ----- __ A , 1 t 6 s - THE COBDEN T ST f).

On this point Lord George Bentinck and the editor of the Morning Post are perfectly agreed with the members itOd the organs of the League ; and we have now the testi mony to the same effect of men holding intermediate po sitions between those two parties. Sir Robert Peel, in addressing th e H ouse o f C ommons on M on d ay evening, paid the following just and well-turned tribute to the talents and the services of the Hon. Member for Stock port : _ _ _ " I said before, and I said truly, that in proposing those measures I had no wish to rob others of the credit justly due to them. Now I must say, with reference to lion. Gentlemen opposite, as I say with reference to ourselves, neither of us is the party which is justly entitled to the credit of them. There has been a com bination of parties; and that combination, and the in fluence of Government, have led to their ultimate success; but the name which ought to be associated with the success of those measures is not the name of the Noble Lord, the organ of that party, nor is it mine. The name which ought to be, and will be associate' with the success of those measures, is the name of a mar. who, acting, I believe, from pure and disinterested motives, has, with untiring energy, by appeals to reason, enforced their necessity with an eloquence the more be admired because it was unaffected and unadorncl; the name which ought to be associated with the success of those measures is the name of Richard Cobden." To this estimate of the services which Mr. Cobden has rendered to the cause of free trade, Lord Palmerston expressed his hearty assent ; and the loud cheering which it elicited from all parts of the House, proved the general concurrence of the Members. Such being the unanimous opinion of all parties in reference to the im portant share which our highly-respected fellow towns man has had in bringing about the happy result at which _ we have now arrived, the question recurs—ln what way are his invaluable services to be acknowledged ? And , here arises a point of some delicacy. If Mr. Cobden was, as many people have asserted, and many more believed, an opulent man, of course some public testimony of respect, in the form of a statue, or a service of plate, or the erection 4Lansnit„,„pnbile , - institution, might have presented the most appropriate means of testifying the gratitude of his fellow-country men. But it is absurd to speak of Mr. Cobden as an opulent man, in the general and ordinary acceptation of the term. When he first devoted his best exertions to the great object which he has now so successfully ac complished, he was still a young man ; he had been but a few years engaged in business, and granting him to have been succeesful, as we believe he was, he could not have done more than lay the foundation of a mode rate fortune. Since that period, his time, his labour, his thoughts, have been entirely engrossed by the pub lic object to which he had devoled himself, to the utter neglect of his private affairs ; and we feel quite con fident that he cannot have done anything to increase his property. We are quite aware that these are details which may give some little pain ; but it is necessary that they should be placed fairly before the public, who might otherwise greatly misunderstand the grounds on which they are about to be appealed to for contributions to a testimonial, intended by its promoters to be in some de gree worthy of the great services which have been rendered. Mr. Cobden has devoted seven or eight years of the best years of his life to the attainment of a great public object ; he has disregarded his private inte rests, neglected a business by which he might have ac cumulated wealth ; and the question for the considera tion of the public is, whether they will permit the pecuniary loss which he has incurred in their service to be borne by himself, or whether they will step forward to indemnify him. If we know anything of the spirit which actuates, not merely our fellow-townsmen, but the supporters of free trade throughout the country, they will not subject themselves to the charge of ingratitude on this occasion, but, on the contrary, they will show, by their contributions to the testimonial, that they desire to see Mr. Cobden placed in at least as good a position as he might have fairly expected to occupy, if he had employed his time and his talents in the accumulation of wealth, instead of devoting them with unparalleled energy and success to the service of his fellow -country. men. We feel it necessary to state that for the preceding statements and remarks we alone are responsible. We have received no suggestion from, and held no communi cations with, any other parties on the subject. What we have learned, as we stated on a former occasion, is, that a number of gentlemen of all shades of opinion in politics have determined to set on foot a subscription for the purpose above named ; and that a meeting on the subject will be held to-morrow at the Town-hall, when the Mayor of Manchester is expected to take the chair; and we feel no doubt that the proceedings will be such as to do credit to those who take part in them, and to show that they are no less inclined to subscribe their money to acquit themselves of a debt of gratitude, than to secure a prospective advantage.

AWFUL THUNDER Siroum.—On Monday, the 22d, one of the most terrific thunder storms visited the neigh bourhood of Sawrey ever remembered. Soon after noon thunder was heard in the distance, and rolled almost continu ally until about five o'clock, when the storm began in earnest. The wind blew a complete hurricane; the air, for an hour and a half, seemed iu one electric flame, and the thunder cracking without intermission. So near the ground was the electric fire, that all who went out in the roads and amongst the houses in Sawrey, felt just as if they had received a shock from a strong electric machine. There were six young wen standing together, who were all brought to the ground at once, and yet without sustaining the least harm. We are sorry to state that a cow belonging to John Sharp was killed.. It would almost appear that the cow had been lifted from the ground and then thrown down upon its back, for the home wero stuck into the ground up to the head. There was not a mark upon the animal, but its body was swelled as bard as a drum. The great fury of this dreadful tempest (strange to say) did not exceed a mile square, and while the lower part of Esthwaite lake was foaming under the l irarica ne, the e higher part was calm as a mirror ; and . at Bowness, Ambleside, and all the stirroundmr_ v lasote.nly like an or di n ary thunder-storm,— restinaogreland Gvazet I 1 5 t., ^~ r _ -i r+
