Is it not 'as good at least as the Locofoco-Wild-Cat Cur rency of 1838 and 1839? But the law is void, mani festly void, and we hesitate not to assure our readers that it will be so determined by the Courts." A table, published in the Herald, shows that in the years 1841 to 1847, 2,690 buildings were erected in Montreal, of which were of wood-1 story, 1,071; l 3 story, 6; 2 story, 558; 2i story, 3; 3 story, 2—of brick, 1. story, 72; 2 story, 381; three story, 21; 4 story, I—. of stone, 1 story, 22; 2 story, 359; 3 story, 145; 4 story, 82—of brick and wood, 1 story, 3; 2 story, 10—of atone and wood, 2 story, 4—erected in 1841, 147; in 1842, 471; in 1843, 454; in 1844, 587; in 1845, 460; in 1846, 375; in 1847, 196. The value of money in the Stock Exchange has been very low since the dividends were paid, say lf to 2 per cent., where the loans are for short periods, but it is evident that in the face of ex isting political difficulties abroad, very few invest ments have recently been made in the Public Securities; and yet events rather favour the impression that higher values will obtain. The Vienna insurrection is a great drawback, certainly, but against this we may place the strength of the French Ministry, the large specie arrivals, the last revenue stateinent &c., allowing even for the admitted decay in our export trade. The indisposition lately evinced to invest in Shares should also throw surplus capital upon the Stock Market. Consols have been 844 to 85 • the New Three and-a- Quart er p er C ents. 84 * to I ; and the Three per Cents. 83* to 84. Bank Stock has been at 180 to 183.

The Railway Share Market is very dull, but prices continue about the same except in the instance of York and North Midland, and the other York lines and North British, which are affected by the report that no arrange• ment has been come to with Mr. Hudson for leasing the latter. % 83 3 A.

Mr. Cuck son, the superintendent, with admirable self-possession, instantly darted from the platform, and seizing his Lord ship, drew him back, just as the ponderous engine passed, and thus prevented an accident which, in all probability, would have been fatal.—Scotsman. THE WRONG SIDE OF . THE STREET, OR A CASE OF Amalie's or MIND. —In a town of Oxfordshire, favoured with the existence of one of those systematic structures for the relief of the poor generally yclept "Unions," and sometimes " Bastiles," not many years ago the following rather singular mistake happened:— The chaplain of the union the Rev. —, having been called to a distance on business, engaged his friend, the Rev. --, to perform Divine service in the chapel of the union on a certain Sundae. The latter is an excellent mathematici an , b ut a singularly "absent" man; and the latter failir g or faculty frequently brings him into queer situations, not the least embarrassing of which arose out of this v er y un i on engagement. Mr. was punctual Co the h our i n his visit to the town on the morning in question ; i t h appens that the union chapel is faced by a Roman C at h o li c chapel, into the vestry of which, about the hou r f or commencing service, walked a gentleman, a stranger to the sexton, but showing enough of the "points" of the profession to satisfy the latter that it was some strange " holy lather come to officiate at mass for the priest, then in charge of the Mission." The stranger being apparent] y chary of words, intimated by familiar gestures his wish to be robed, and accordingly the priestly paraphernalia was speedily displayed upon his person. Apparently it struck him that he had donned rather more than the usual vestments for the reading desk. Il e was absorbed in wond.iring at his finery, and busily enga ge d i n feeling the stiff embroidery of his cope, an d regarding with wond er th e silky texture of his other flowin g ro b es, when another gentleman entered I the vestry- room, and the following colloquy took place:— Second C omer — May inquire who it is that I have the pleasure t o a dd ress ? First Comer—By all means ; my name is ---, and I have come hero this morning to officiate for Mr. ---.---. Second Corner—But, my dear sir, Mr. -- is a clergyman of the Church of Eng land, and this is a Catholic chapel 1 First Comer—A what ! Catholic chapel 1 So so. I beg a thousand pardons. I bare made a very singular mistake. I thought it was the union over the way !- Worcester Herald. FATAL AccIDENT.-=On Tuesday night a gentleman named Fearn was acc id ent l y killed while returning home to Kilmore, from A rmag h mar k et . H e b a d b een s i tt i ng on a jaunting car, on the opposits seat of which was a clergyman of the Roman Catholic Church, and while the vehicle was proceeding, it is supposed the unfortunate deceased fell asleep and dropped off the car. The driver and the clergyman , went on their way, never missing their f e ll ow -t rave ll er , which wa s com i ng i n the direction passed over hi s s k u ll causing inst an t aneous death.—Armagh Gu ar di an . who lay on the road until a cart THE Jxws IN ROME.—On the lit of this month the decree for the complete emancipation of the Jews of the Roman States came into force, They are thereby declared fit for the exercise of all civil rights. The year 1848 is an amazing one. The changes of the forms of government are, however, less surprising tha n th e aban donment of th e Gh e tt o by the Jews of Rome.—JewishChronicle. FIRE AT DERWENTWATER.—On Sunday morning one wing (containing the library, with the valuable col lection of books, paintings, &c.) of the beautiful mans i on of 11. C. M ars h a ll, E sq ., Vi c ker's Island, D erwent Lake, was destroyed by fire. The remainder of the building, as well as the splendid timber trees by which the mansion is surrounded, bad a narrow escape. T. S. DUNCOMBE, ESQ., M.P.—We understand that the health of this Hon. Gentleman is improving, though slowly, and that it is hoped, notwithstanding his severe and protr a ct e d indisposition, ti me and patience will enable hi m t o resume his public d ut i es. DEATH Or SIR JOHN KENNEDY, BART.—TiIi3 baronet, for many years so distinguished in England and Ireland by his patronage of the sports of the field, died on the 13th instant at his residence near Rathcool, Dublin, aged 63. He was one of the baronets created during the Viceroyalty of the Earl of Mulgrave, now the Marquis of Normanby, in 1836. He was the son of Edward Kennedy,' Esq., and married in 1819 the daughter of William Beaumon, Esq., by whom he has had issue five sons and one daughter. He is succeeded by his son Edward. Sir John was a magistrate and a Deputy-Lieutenant for the county of Kildare. MIDDLESEX REGISTRATION.—Yesterday the lists for the parishes of Christchurch, Hackney, Shoreditch, Bethnal-green, Norton-folgate, and the old Artillery ground, were revised by L. Shadwell, Esq., at the Green Man, Bethnal-green. No point of public interest arose, and the whole proceedings occupied little more than an hour. The court sits to-day at White Conduit House, Islington. Mortiv MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 15 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 3Z 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.52; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 42+. it follows that gold is 0.37 per cent, dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3L 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.10, it follows that gold is 1.46 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London. .

Lord Ashley, on his return from Edinburgh, where he has been on a commission in connexion with the General Board of Health, examined the Industrial School, Burns-street, on Friday morning last, in pre sence of a number of its supporters. The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. Dr. Wallace. The children sung a hymn at the commencement of the proceedings with great accuracy and spirit, and two classes were afterwards examined in reading. The senior one read a chapter of the New Testament as correctly, if not more so, as the classes similarly advanced at any of the ordinary schools of the town, , although th ey h ave on l y b een under Mr. Ramsay s training for some seven months, and the majority scarcely able to read previously. Questions in con nexion with their lessons were answered also with promptitude and corr ec tn ess ; an d a l toge th er, a l t h oug h they did not seem the most favourable subjects, their appearance was highly satisfactory. Lord Ashley expressed himself as highly gratified. When the children were dismissed Baillie Nichol son was called to the chair, and Mr. STEWART, the secretary, read a report of the progress and condition of the society. Baillie NtenoLsoN then called upon Mr. Hender son, convener of the work committee, who stated that some months ago it was deemed necessary to depute one of the committee to visit the industrial schools in Aberdeen and elsewhere, that some method might be adopted for the industrial occupation of the children. Having entered into a number of details regarding that deputation, Mr. Henderson mentioned that there was a division of opinion in the society on the ques tion whether the children should be taught trades, or whether they should confine themselves to giving them industrious habits; and concluded by requesting his Lordship's opinion on these points. Lord AsnLaz then rose, and said that it appeared to him the society had every reason to be satisfied, and might heartily thank God for their success. When he came there he was prepared to find some thing very inferior; but the children seemed to have made great progress, not only in those matters bene ficial to their condition here, but their more im important hereafter. They had got a very suitable building too, and with a little ventilation it would do much better for their purpose than one the supe rior architecture and adornments of which might raise the taste of the pupils above what must be their condition in life. This he believed to be a great er ror in modern arrangements. Their great difficulty would be the maintenance of the funds for their annual expenses. They must take the children the whole day if they wished effectually to benefit them ; and if they did so, they must sup ply them with food. The most of these children had no way of getting food but by begging or steal ing, and, therefore, unless they fed them they could have them only in the evenings, and it was difficult to teach them to any purpose in three hours each day. It was, therefore, ab so l u t e l y necessary t h at t h e chil dren should be fed, which added very mach to the expense. In London they were unable to do it under a cost of 41. 10s. for each child per annum ; although he believed, from the difference of habits, it could be done in Scotland for about half that sum. .Again, in all these ragged schools it was necessary to have in dustrial classes—in all schools for the children of the working classes these were necessary, but more espe cially in ragged schools. The children attending these institutions must be shown that labour is honour- I able. The character of the employment given was of no great importance, if it was of such a nature that the children could understand it as a useful and profitable one. In the Edinburgh school they employed them in picking oakum, but the children, looking upon that merely as employment to keep them out of mischief, did not enter upon it with the ardour with which they applied themselves to work of which they could see the benefit. They ought to confine the children to one or two very simple occu pations, preferring those suited to the district, as net making was to Aberdeen ; but tailoring and shoemaking were the best generally. After re marking that the children were much superior in appearance to those of the London schools, he Mentioned that at the schools in Westminster the managers took all that offered themselves ; and ex cept where they had to burn their clothes the chil dren received nothing. They were put into classes and given what they earned; and, after making clothes for themselves and their schoolmates, they were allowed to make for their friends ; and seven or eight who were sent out as free emigrants to Australia, conducted themselves so well on their passage, that a gentleman had informed him the captain said that he had never seen such well-behaved passengers. Such persons would not be a week in that colony before they would obtain an engagement of 10s. a week and their rations. All they could look to here would be to give the children industrious habits, And the reforma tion of their moral character. There was a very im portant question, whether they ought to make the labour of the boys profitable. That raised the question whether they had a right to bring the labour of these children, whom they partly supported, against those who cannot meet them upon equal terms. lie believed the wretched condition of the sempstresses of London was mainly caused by bringing the labour of the inmates of gaols and asylums into competition with them—pitting what he might term slave against free labour. In a short time also they would come into,,collision with the parents and guardians of the children, who would think they were making a profit out of the labour of the boys and demand a share in it. And only when they could make the impression upon the boys and their guardians that they were teaching and sup porting them from charitable motives alone would they come out freely. As for the expense they must con sider what they could do in the way of exciting their neighbours to contribute. They had nothing to complain of as far as they had gone; for in ten months to do what they had done was extremely creditable to the burgh of Dumfries ; but if they relaxed their efforts for one instant they would fall back. They must show the people that this question is not only one of humanity, but one on which depends the material advantage of Dumfries. In London they had ap prenticed out a number of boys, and their conduct had been very good. But in all places there was a great pressure on the market of labour, so that if they got ten of their boys out to trades they would have excluded some other ten. With the view of obviating this he had proposed a resolution in the House of Commons for the purpose of getting a certain number of these boys transplanted to some of her Majesty's colonies. That motion was lost, biz the Government had volunteered to send out 150 children early and thi s h a d b een attended with the best effec y ts. .11 they followed that system they would relieve of Dumfries a great body of children, and if they could raise 1001. that would pay for the transplantation of ten to fifteen. They would thus at once relieve the labour market and transport those children out of mischief to where they would consume much more of the manufactures of this country, and thus give a stimulus to its trade; and if he could i render them any service he should be most happy to do so. In conclusion, he would impress upon them his conviction, that if ten years longer were to pass with the same i na tt en ti on to the condition of the lower orders, it would be beyond the power of any statesman or combination of statesmen to maintain this empire in its present condition. He thought the lessons they had lately from Europe might teach them that when the people were disaffected and 'determined to rise in mass, the finest standing army in the world, under the most able officers, must fall before them; and if those who possessed property and station did not look to it, the people would rise some day against them or their children, when re g r e t th at t h e present opportunity had been lost would be unavailing. The Rev. Mr. MANN, after stating how much the meeting had been delighted by the able and instruc tive speech of Lord Ashley, and offering him its thanks, on the part of the committee, requested an other conference with his Lordship before his depar ture. And as they had never yet laid their scheme before a meeting of the inhabitants, perh a p s hi s Lord ship might be ind uced to give his countenance to such an undertaking. His LORDSIIIP requested ti me to consider, and would answer the committee from Cumloden, to which he was about to proceed. The meeting then separated.—Dumfries Courier. LITERATURE. THE POCKET AND THE STUD. 1 Vol., pp. 215. By Harry Hiecver. A jovial and pleasant writer is Harry Hieover, and a right knowing one in all matters pertaining to the stable or the kennel, the hunt or the race, the .stud and its relation, in all respects, to the pocket. Since Apperley disappeared from the sporting maga zines, we know no more delightful name to meet with among the contributors than Harry Hieover. And that is saying a vast deal, with all the rol licking scribes who adorn that section of our periodical literature with their lucubrations. In the hilarious tone of his effusions, and in the bonhoinmie which beams forth in almost every page, "Harry Hieover" is akin to " Nimrod," and not only in bonhorranie :-nd hilarity, but in shrewdness and in a perfect familiarity with his subject. These qualities have not only bean conspicuous in his miscellaneous papers as a magazine writer, they have been also particularly manifested in his capital work called " Stable Talk and Table Talk ; or Spectacles for Young Sportsmen" — a work in two goodly volumes, tilled to repletion with the nuts of amusement and the wine of information. Those who appreciate John Dlills's" Old English Gentleman" will have wiled away many an agreeable hour over the chapters of " Stable Talk and Table Talk." The volumes are imbued with the same gusto it; everything relating to the rural scenes and field sports of old Albion. Here however, is a book of a very different character; not that it has less vivacity of manner, but that it con veys a much greater abundance of "facts and figures", in a very portable and compacted form. Those who, are habitual readers of the principal sporting periodi cals may fancy from the mere title-page of the pre sent volume that it is chiefly a reprint of contribu tions which have already appeared. Their conjecture will have been nevertheless in a considerable degree erroneous. Nearly four-fifths of "The Pocket and the Stud" being in reality here printed for the first time—three chapters alone having been previously published. In as far as the economy of private horse dealing —not the wholesale horse-dealing of Tatter sall's, but that moderate speculation in horseflesh in which so many thousands of our population are in the habit of indulging—are concerned, the book is a very encyclopaedia. its advice is not merely elementary, it goes to the heart of a hundred difficulties and establishes beacons and buoys in all directions. Scarcely a quicksand or a sunken breaker is left un marked. 'Yorkshire jockeying is gibbetted. The cunning sharpers against whom the late lamented Lord George Bentinck waged such an unrelenting and successful warfare, meet with no sympathy and get no mercy, no not even the smallest, from our author. He flays them in an allusion and goes on in his droll and unflagging way along the path of pleasantness. He exposes their tricks and subterfuges in a sentence and proceeds in his accustomed vein of pleasantry. After apologizing for his apparent " impertinence ' in giving his advice unasked—a course which he trusts will not lay him under any " imputation of conceit or arrogance"—he enters boldly upon his task ; first of all treating of "stable management" and afterwards of "stable economy; first telling us how we may be best enabled to purchase a horse and then explaining the different modes of keeping him. In the chapter on stable management we have sections on ventila tion, on dryness, on wide doors, on stall -posts, on racks, on windows, on balls, on mangers, on head collars, on collar shanks, on muzzles, on lofts, on boxes, on stoves, and on all the multifarious requisites of a stable, including chamois, sponges, dressing tools, water-brushes, mane-combs, and bandages. In the chapter, again, on stable economy he explains to us the ordinary cost of keep, the occasion upon which veterinary surgeons should be consulted, the choice of grooms, the ingenuity of servants, and the like subjects of importance. The following extract will be read with interest and deserves the widest circula tion : " To show the difference between practically knowing the expenses of a stable, and listening to being told by interested persons what they ' must be, at least,' I will just take a pair of sixteen-hands carriage-horses, and see what their expense, not 'must be,' but should be; and here I show no presumption in saying I care not what all the grooms or coachmen in London may say— I know I am right: not from any talent, ingenuity, or peculiar mode of treatment; not reasoning upon even the best theoretical principles, but on the broad, plain, homely facts of experience and practice—that not arising from having had the management of any one or two classes of horses, or those under one or two diflerent situations or circumstances, but from having had the direction of all sorts of race-horses, hunters, carriage • horses, hacks, machinery, and cart-horses, and at one period all at the same time ; what I say, therefore, on the subject reflects about as much credit on me in'poiPit of intellect as we should attach to the man who had been all his life emptying coal-waggons telling us how many sacks went to the chaldron, and the chance of our being in error would be about equal. It will be re membered I am now taking a pair of horses that are more expensive to keep than any others used for private purposes, for I allow each six quarterns of corn per day. No two hunters living est ai much, take the year throughout ; for though the name of a hunter to some persona conveys an idea of great expense—though hunting is expensive, it is not the keep of the horse that makes it so—a good well-worked 401. cover hack costs quite as much, and more, than you can get some hunters to cost you. Two horses, 6 quarterns a day each, at 1/. 4s. per qr., sa y £4l 0 0 141bs. of hay per day each, at 41. 103. per ton, say ' 20 10 0 r, Supposing straw to be scarce, 1 cwt. of straw per week, 11.108 , per ton, sa y „ Shoeing both, los. per month, 28 days 0 ( „ Wear and tear of chamois, spon ges, brushes, &c. 6d. per week 1 6 0 „ Wear and tear of clothing and head collars, 6d. each 6 10 0 2 12 0 £75 10 0 When our author is previously entering into a more detailed account of the cost of keeping a horse, he describes the advantages and disadvantages of the various kinds of food from bran to carrots, from barley to chaff, from beans to oats, and from malt to all other sorts and descriptions of horse nutriment. We must observe that the work is embellished with a portrait of Harry Hieover on his favourite horse Harlequin, engraved by Hacker, from a painting by the author. Besides the useful information contained in the volume, there are an abundance of illustrative anecdotes such as impart piquancy to the recom mendations. Speaking of his success in matters which some regard as subordinate, Harry Hieover facetiously saith :—" We should have been sorry to see John Kemble sing:a comic song between the acts of Hamlet. Now, I certainly could not play Hamlet, but I fancy I could, manage ' Jim along Josey.' Well it is better to be encored in that than hissed in Hamlet." Heartily coinciding in this we say encore to works as pleasant and as much to the purpose as " The Pocket and the Stud," by Harry Hieover. CLARENDON ; a Tale of Recent Times. By Eliza Smith. read " Clarend on " is an interesting additi on t o t h at al y popular class of works--" Religious Novels." To the Roman Catholics this little tale will be pecu liarly acceptable, the writer being evidently an enthusiastic and zealous member cf their faith ; while, to the dispassionate and inquiring general reader, it will be hardly less so, inasmuch as that the arguments are carried on in all fairness, are untarnished by the least acerbity, and place in candid juxtaposition the chief grounds upon which the contending churches base their respective creeds. In the opening and closing chapters there are some exquisite touches of nature. The incidents are well conceived, and re lated with a pleasing and earnest simplicity. Claren don, the leading character in the tale, is the ver y beau ide a l o f Ch r i st i an perfection. The moral of his life appears to be the memorable injunction of the Great Teacher,---" Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." HfcATomßs or PORTRAITS. -Our next-door neigh bour over the water, the Charivari, informs us that portraits of the French Members swarm all over Paris. One house, it says, is quite blockaded with them—the exterior is covered all over. The house may well bide its face for putting on so bold a front! It seems there are no less than three editions of these endless portraits. Now, there are upwards of 900 Members, which only makes the pretty number of 2,700 heads. The most Dantonian Red Republican could not wish to take off a greater number. Never did such a number of patriots put their heads upon the block before! Imagine having them all hung about your room! What an ugly ♦iew it would give of Universal Suffrage I The portraits, we are told, are so diversified, that there are not two alike. This makes the collection all the richer, and is only an other proof that no politician is himself for two days together. However, it must be a festering epingle to every Frenchman's vanity, that his belle France should possess such a cabbage-garden of portraits, and scarcely one good head amongst them. We would recommend vigorous weeding. At all events, France cannot com plain of being badly represented—in the shop windows. —Punch. Notices have been issued by the commissioners of the metropolitan police to the superintendent of each division of the police force, that the mea should make reports of the various nuisances in existence in their "beats," and that th e same should be for respective warded to the commissioners every Monday morning.

SINGULAR FATALITY. —On Friday an investigation took place at the Guildhall, Falmouth, relative to a young man, a steward of an English vessel, unders orders for Antwerp. It appears that, about half-past ten o'clock on Wednesday night, the captain, steward, and a lad, left the pier in a boat, to return to the vessel in the harbour. It is reported that the captain and steward were drunk, and that a quarrel took place, and a figfii ensued in the boat, and, in the struggle, both captain and steward fell overboard. The captain succeeded in regaining the boat, bat the steward after much strugglin g to do so, sunk to rise no more. It appears the poor steward came on shore to post letters to his parents and sweetheart in London.

BLOKE AND WESTMINSTER ABBEY. Really it is high time that Mr. Blare should cease to be allowed to do what he likes in Westminster Abbey. If deans and chapters cannot do without him, let him go to Chester, or Carlisle, or even York —to some place, in short, with very few or no asso ciations to remove. Why detain him in Westminster amid monuments and recollections which he cannot understand— an d can d es t roy ? D ean Ireland (Gif ford's Dean Ireland, by the way) permitted him to destroy the identical small square stone, with " 0 rare 13en Jonson" upon it, which Jack Young put over Jonson in the north side of the nave of West minster Abbey. The man who smashed the Port land Yape; the cook at Mr. %Vest's, who singed geese at Michaelmas with Massinger's unpublished plays ; and Malone, who' painted Shakspere's bust at Strat ford-upon-Avon, were destructives of the same kind. But this is not all that Mr. Blore has done or is doing. He induced the Dean and Chapter not to repair the monument to Chaucer, becaus e it was not a monument o f Chaucer's age, and theref not and did no4(which it does) contain the ore ashes could of the father of English poetry. The same Mr. Blore actually took up the blue flagstone covering Cow ley's grave, and bearing Cowley's name, and packed it away as a stone of so many square feet and no thing more. A primrose by n river's brim A yellow primrose was to him, And it was nothing more. And now this identical Mr. Blore, by permission of Dean Buckland, Mr. Milman the poet, and others, has destroyed one-half of glorious John Dryden's monument, and removed Sir Godfrey Kneller's bust and Pope's ennobling epitaph to where the bust can not be seen, and the verses cannot be read. Poor Lady Kneller! have all her activity and desire for a lasting perpetuation at Twickenham and West minster Abbey been to no purpose ? She was busy enough to get Pope's monument to his father and mother removed from the place in which it is still to be seen (unless Mr. Blore has been recently called in) ; and the poet, who opposed her at every turn, paid her with a kind of epigram epitaph— One day I mean to fill Sir Godfrey's tomb, It for my body all this church has room. Down with more monuments; more room (she cried), Fur I am very large and very wide. If " Down with more monuments " be Mr. Blore's cry, then "Down with Mr. Blore!" must be ours.— Athenctussz. DEATII OF PROFESSOR TE/INANT,—It is With ex- treme regret that we have to announce the death of Mr William Tennant, Processor of Oriental Languages in the College of St. Mary, St. Andrew's, but more exten sively and enduringly known as the author of *. Anster Fair," and various other works in general literature, hich took place at his house, Devon Grove, Dollar, on Sunday last.—Scotsman. INFANT ORPHAN ASYLUM.—At the forthcoming November election, among the number of candidates is the child of John Charles Frederick Piercy, two years and nine months old, whose father was one of the ur ; fortunate London Fire Establishment, who p er i shed in the executi o n o f hi s d u ty a t a fire in New Crane, Sh well, on the 28th of July last. The deceased's widow was left with two children. The case is strongly recom. mended, and it is hoped w;11 prove a successful Ofle on the day of election. SUN, THE QUEEN AT PRESTON. It is to be feared that during her Majesty's brief sojourn at Preston, on Saturday week, no very favourable impression was made upon the royal mind by such specimens of the manners of the populace as were there offered her. According to the Preston Guardian, the assembled Prestonians gave her Majesty such an idea of Lancashire decency, as she might have expected from even the roughest shod boors in her dominions. It was her Majesty's intention, during her journey from Perth to London, to have partaken of some slight re freshment at the Preston station, and preparations were made accordingly. Our contemporary shall show us why this intention was abandoned; and how her Majesty was driven from Preston, and• denied that peaceful and respectful accommodation, from which no other lady in the kingdom would any. where else have been debarred :---" The carriage containing her Majesty," says our contemporary " drew up a few yards before reaching the open space, and though this afforded many of her loyal subjects a very close view of herself, the Prince, and children, the circumstance proved fatal to the arrangement which had previously been made. The people were standing on forms where the royal carriage stopped, and some of them must have had their heads nearly through the window. This state of affairs was soon remedied, by drawing the train on a little, but in the meantime the assemblage on the other side of the station became somewhat clamorous, and many, unable to bear the idea of not seeing the Queen,' whilst she was so near, even commenced climbing over the carriages. These cir cumstances combined, appeared to alarm her Majesty, and after ordering that the people should be removed from the tops of the carriages (for some of them had actually attempted to lean over, and so peep into the compartment occupied by royalty), she signified that she would not get out, on account of the crowded state of the station. However, it must not be supposed that her Majesty was not well re ceived; on the contrary, she was greeted with much warmth from first to last, and it was only those who could not get to see her that were at all riotous." "At all riotous !" The description is at least in keeping with the scene ; and the two together cannot, we venture to say, be paralleled in the whole history of her Majesty's progresses.—Lancaster Guardian. 4 25% COURT CIRCULAR. 13% 634 34 22 84 221 A, SONNETS. BY HENRY FRANK LOTT. MORNING.—(SHOOTER'S BILL, RENT.) God of the universe ! the humblest lyre That at creation's charms e'er woke a string Vibrates before thee, now the sable wing Of night folds up, as yon pale gleam of fire Shoots up the orient : and the woodland choir, From off their plumes the night-dew fluttering, Full in the ear of new-born morning sing ; But only sing ;—I warble and admire, And deem me happy that mine early toil Leads me to gaze on the magnificence Of such an hour as this—impressed the while That I'm more blest than he whom indolence Lulls o❑ a bed of down—where morning's smile In vain might seek to pierce his curtain'd sense. EVENING.--(DOXLEY ABBEY, RENT.) 'Tis June's most tranquil eve, the far off west Is gorgeous with the day-god's slow decline; And beautifully his bright beams fringe and line The heaped•up clouds that pillow him to rest. Now wakes the poet-feeling in my breast, Freed from the smoky city's dull confine ; Renewing fealty to the sacred Nine, At sight of landscape in such glory drest. Spirit of Beauty ! that, enthroned around, Pour'st thy warm influence to the inmost heart, Behold me worship on this holy ground, That thou createat by thy potent art ; Transfixed in wonder, in enchantment bound, linger here until thou dolt depart. _ li P hwe O i tT COURSINGTs Great I Westernit d E — m l AEC YI T Emu TpEIfs EL so Br MEETING..

LONDON,' 19, 1818. ----- - ; LARGE SHOALS Or HERIZINGS• Weeks h a v e now e l apsed since the most multitu dinous o f a ll t h e ti nny tribes appeared in unwm iced shoals i n th e S o l way Frith; and, should the weather continue calm an d sett l ed, an opinion prevails arnong resident s on the coast th at th ey bid fair to people :their present habitats perh a p s a month longer. In the old en t i me marine industry rewarded 'well continued e xer ti on; although, even then, fr rim / all 'fte can learn, herrings, in any g isi reat m bers, were ,never exactly annual vtants, nu as they are in .t.ochfine, and many other estuaries and arms of the sea. But, from whatever cause— neglect on the la n d, or desertion from the waters— there was little to b oast of in this branch of service . for a period of more than forty years. Octogenarians. and others, however partial to the past, in recounting with glee the splendid hauls taken in their young days, at the same time admit that they remember nothing at all t o b e compared with .the present extraordinary season. The shoals, it is said, extend to miles on miles ; and from beyond Whitehaven, as far as Sarkfoot, every tide that flows is instinct with myriads of scaly life. In repeated instances the nets have been torn by the weight of their loads ; and when the tide recedes they present not a glimmering, but an opaque sur face, with no daylight visible through the tiny count less mesh es , ever y one o f w hi c h contains its herri ng . i Nor is this rem ar k con fi ne d t o one; for t is equally applicable to several border parishes—such as Ruth_ well, Cummertrees, Annan, Dornock, and even por tions of Gretna. Along the coast of Cumberland, as far as the sea flows from west to east, the fishermen are equally busy, and, we believe, still mire success ful; for in place of relying altogether on stake nets, many piscators push boldly to the Scottish side, and often fill their boats between the flow and reflux of a single tide. From the difficulty of disposing of so many cargoes in a fresh state, salting is resorted to by all. On Saturday last we rounded the well known peninsula, of which Dumfries is the handle and Caerlaverock the blade; and at every little distance were at no loss for ocular demonstration of the teeming abundance of the herring harvest. In a former article under this head we stated that from forty to fifty persons, young and old; were engaged in taking, gutting, and salting herrings; but their numbers have increased greatly since, and Mr. : Anderson now estimates them at fully 200, including . all the farmers and cotters in the parish. Many of the l a tt er are prof i ting day after day by the great windfall ; an d our informant doubts whether there will b e any necessity for imposing a poor-rate in Caerlaver oc k d ur i ng the approaching winter! Would that the Irish wer e s i m il arly situated, although many of them, it is t o b e f eared, are too lazy to avail themselv es o f the blessing, were it placed within their reach. tip to S a t ur d ay, the tenant of Sher rington had c onsumed a ton of salt, and cured 2in S barrels all, apart from the quantities he was importuned to sell fresh; in fact, he had run short of cooper's gearing, and accordingly ordered a fresh supply. That they will keep well in salt he has no doubt; and, as regards quality, he considers them preferable to the Orkney herrings which are • sold at 225. per barrel. That herrings visited the Sol way in no inconsiderable quantities, last year, is a fact no longer doubted in Caerlaverock. Fair warn ing was given at the time by the veteran Mr. Grier son and others; but from the lengthened suspension of use and wont, the disappearance and impaired con dition of nets, no exertion was made in the slightest degree commensurate with the opportunities offered. But no similar mistake will he committed hereafter, now that fishing material has been amply provided, but on the contrary, herring statistics, diligently watched, and advantage taken of appearances so long as they continue favourable, and promise rewards worthy of the labourer's trouble. —Dumfries Courier. // n this Won, is 8d New' New 11 8s 15S 1 14s; I 105 15s; 51; 115 s
