" The time is come to do something," is now a very general phrase. Already the monopolists are very. in tensely hated, and the only question is, by what means they can be compelled to yield. The upper classes assert that they govern, not fur their own benefit, but for the benefit of the masses ; and when the masses assure them that misery, not happiness, is the result of their rule, they must, from shame, • give up their ill-contrived measures. Their Government for the be nefit of the body of the people has not answered: - It is a complete failure. The multitude are immersed in griev ous distress, and the State is endangered. They must begin to doubt the efficacy of their system, and, shrinking back alarmed, if they have any shame left, they ought to allow some other system to be tried. If they are re solved to pursue their ruinous career, at whatever cost to the people, they must not he surprised if T.IIINTONS spring up in every quarter of the land, and preach hatred to the aristocracy. People are evidently tired of appealing to the justice or the compassion of the aristocracy, and now they talk of appealing to their fears. This may do some good. The aristocracy commit injustice by means of legislathin with a view of obtaining wealth and power ; and when ever they find that their wrong-doing is endangering their wealth and power—.if not before—they will be ready, and even anxious to alter their course. As long as they find a shield for their rapacity in the respect of the public at large, as long as their unjust proceedings are dignified by the name of the Consti tution, and under that name held up to public reverence, so long will they have irresistible motives fin. Oppressing those who invite oppression. But the first step to put an end to their power, which depends on public opinion, is taken when they are publicly described as worthy only of contempt and hatred. Deputations from the Woollen and Linen Yarn Manu facturers have waited on Sir 11. PEEL to induce him to remonstrate with the French and Prussian Governments against an increase in the duties on linen yarn, and on woollens. But over these Governments Sir B. PEEL may have no influence whatever. lie is not Prime Minister there as well az here. The march of our Government. he mfty control: hi, earl zcruvely ;lye to itopulse to. the 1.-ioiernmenq• 6;7' other conntri.:s trio, and his colleagnes, the deputations may inlidence their wailing will rather encourage the present policy of France and Prussia than check it. We endeavoured to point out, the day before yesterday, that the duties levied in foreign countries, which are beyond our control, are much less influential than those levied by our own Government, which are within our control. Wee infer, therefore, that the deputations, and those who send them, would act more rationally, and be more likely to benefit themselves in the end, were they to confine their solicitations to what Sir ROBERT PEEL can do at home. That the total abolition of the Corn and Provision-laws wouldcompensate for the increased dutieS in Prance and Germany we will not assert, butit would go some way towards it, and would assist our manufacturers to compete wish those of other nations. We are far from saying that it is not desirable to .prevent other nations from levying duties on our commodities, but it is much more desirable not to levy duties our.-A , Aves that are more injurious to our trade than the duties levied by foreigners. By correcting our own vicious system, too, we may ex pect that other nations will follow oar example. Jilin The New Tariff Bill was read a second time in the House of Lords on Tuesday. The number of Non-Con tents, notwithstanding the dire menaces of the Dukes of RICHMOND and BUCKINGHAM, was only, four ! had the Bill been brought in by Lord Mmaouartes Administra tion, more than two hundred Peers would have voted against it. It is not measures but tx.en that sway the judgment of their Lordships. Load and me nacing in their tone towards the Whig Premier, they whine out an humble assent to the slightest command ing gesture of their dread master, Sir ROBERT PEEL. For such an assembly it is impossible for the country to entertain the shadow of respect. Advice& from Constantinople of the 17th ult. state thr t three of the five great Powers, namely, Austria, France. and England, have resolved to adopt force to compel Turkey to remove the present Governor or Syria, and to afford adequate protection to the Chris tian inhabitants of Lebanon. The Conference at which this resolution was adopted was held at the French Ambassador's Palace at Therapia, at which the Repre sentatives of the five Powers were present. The Eng lish, French, and Austrian Ministers, represented. suc cessively that they had exhausted all dignified and be coming means of remonstrance—that the Divan treated their complaints with silent contempt, or only replied to them by prevaricating evasions, and that nothing re mained but either to desert the Syrian Christians to the cruellest brutalities, and thus ea“ a stain upon the Christian name, or effect their deliverance by force. The former alternative could not be entertained for ao instant by the Sovereigns of Austria, France, and England, and therefore nothing remained but to coerce the Porte into the performance of its engage memu respecting its Syrian subjects. The Russian and Prussian Ambassadors disapproved of this course, with out direct and positive instructions from their respective Courts: They were prepared to go all lengths with their colleagues in the way of remonstrance, but coercive mea sure involved serious consequences, which they were not prepared to encounter. Russia has two motives for di dining to co-operate with England, France, and Austria. By remaining neutral she secures to herself the gratitude of the Porte. She contrives to have it believed that she is sincere in her guardianship of the Turkish empire, and thus throws the Turkish authorities off their guard. Trusting to the great influence of her co-religionists in Turkey and Syria, she hopeS to benefit by every hostile step taken by the other Powers. Her next reason for not interfering is her dread of establishing a precedent which at some future day Europe might deem applicable to, the case of Poland. The great Powers are not more bound by conventions to maintain the liberties of Syria, than all Europe is bound by the Treaty of Vienna to preserve the nationality of Poland. Be these matters as they may, the Representatives of Austria, France, and England were not deterred from their purpose, and on the 10th ult. secret instructions were sent to Malta, ordering, as is supposed, a strong naval force to proceed forthwith to Beyrout. The present grand Vixier, IzzET PACHA, has lost the confidence of the Foreign Ministers, and the worst measures are anticipated from his con tinuance in office. The following character of this Minister is from the Constantinopolitan corre:.pondence of the Morning Post, dated the 17th ult.:— Improving on the traditional maxims which heretofore go verned the diplomacy of the Porte, and which tended to banish, from its intercourse with other nations, all confidenc e an d kindly feeling, and, in short, everything hat cements the union of man and man, or nation and nation, Izzet Paella has, in -all his relations with them, displayed a b a d f a ith, to which the Porte, from motives of self-respect, was hitherto a stranger; while, from the native malignity of his disposition, he has suggested an exhibition of ingratitude which has lowered beyond redemption the tharacter of his Government, and which coubionly have been prompts d by a man like himself, who (the, fact is well known) had, among other atrocities, wantonly murdered a personal bene factor. And yerthis man has his admirers among Christians and Europeans. Their admiration must have its source in a feeling somewhat akin to the morbid sympathy now so, gene rally betrayed towards criminals in England, and which, in their case is the more sublime, that certainly no felon, who ever darkened the threshold of Nerigate, or whose, deeds-have blackened the pages of its calendar, could for a moment have I compared, fur the number, variety, and enormity of, his of, fences, with the miscreant who is now Grand Vizier. According. to' the latest accounts from Syria the whole country was overrun with the Albanians, whom the GRAND VIZIER pledged himself to the English Ambas sador, were not to be allowed to pass beyond the walls of Acre. Murder, rapine, and outrages, too shocking to name, are said to be daily perpetrated by them with impunity. There is no protection in the country for life or property beyond the walls of the Consular esta blishments. We fear it will not be otherwise while the sovereignty of Syria is in the hands of the Porte. There is no disguising the fact that the Ottoman power seems absolutelyworn out. While the rest of the world is pro gressing, Turkey stands still, resting one hand upon the sword, and the other upon the Koran. The promulga tion of the Hatti Scheriff promised a great reform in the government of Turkey, but the movement was rather the result of electric shock than the action of a body abounding in good health and spirits. The following extracts from a letter from Constanti nople, dated the 17th ult., contain the latest miscella neous news from the Turkish capital : Sir J. M.Neil, c.C.:13 arrived from T e h eran , r i g Treti send on the 13th.

Private reports had, however, been brought, these gallant officers were detained in steictconfine stat ing t that not permitted the use of pens and paper. It is hop; confinem ent, news of successes, which have undoubtedly crowned our arms in Caubul, will contribute to their release f rom the hands of the capricious and tyrannical Khan, whese ingratitud e to these officers is upon a par with his barlArity. At the present moment, various cases containing valuable presents, consisting of useful articles, are now waiting at Teheran to be conveyed to Bokhara. Mr. Shakespeare- has succeeded at Khi„ in obtaining the freedom of all the Ru'sian slaves, and it is hoped that Mr. Abbot will he equally successful in procuring the release of the Persians. There is very little news in the French papers apart from th e ex t rac.r di nary d espa t c h intelligenc e , published in The Suss of yesterday. That little re lates, for the most part, to the elections, with the ex ' option of the follovir f ing telegraphic despatch from Africa, which appears in the official columns of the Moniteur " THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF THE FRENCH POSSESSIONS IN AFRICA TO THE MINISTER OF W. 4 ' Maytag, Juxic 30.—Tbe column from Medal has a second time destroyed the fortifications, partly rebuilt, of the fort of Boghar. All the tribes on the route, and even at a distance, have submitted. This division has brought- back one piece of cannon and a number of deserters from the regular troops of Bakani, which were completely destroyed. Our troops return because they have no more enemies to combat. All the chiefs of the tribe of Herd Meussa made their submission yesterday at Algiers. The entire East appears disposed to follow the same course. Com mercial relations are being established rapidly." As the election struggles draw nearer, the violence of the different organs of parties increase. They at tack the partisans of each other tooth and nail. The Ministerialists are taunted as the tools of Eng►land ; the partisans of the Opposition are branded as the enemies of all order, regicides, revolutionists, and terrorists. These are hard names, equally undeserved on both sides. OKAN, JUNE 23.—The Etna steamer, which arrived on the 20th from Algiers, brought orders for the 2d regiment of the line immediately to embark for Bona. The first battalion of that regiment embarked accordingly on hoard the Etna i.nd the Tartars steamers, which left during the night. The ;mast complete tranquillity prevailzt in the provinces, and the communications between Oran, Mascara, Mostaganem, and Tlemcen, are perfectly free. Men are going to cut the hay in the valley of the Tlelat, to which a company of infantry has been sent. The Volage brig, which arrived in the road yesterday, from Cadiz, Gibraltar, and Malaga, announces that the Jena of the line and the Africaine frigate continue to cruise on the coast of Morocco. \ .

The Abate in the House of Commons on Mr. Wm.- LAcE.'s motion was continued.last night with considerable affect: It called up Lord Howrex, Mr. MORISON, Mr. ELLIcE, Lord PALmEasTox, and others, who deliVered very maid speeches. It - supplied numerous and striking testimonies to the vastness of the present distress. It tra.7etl that distress in general to our own restrictions on our own trade_; and though there seems no hope ,s.if now changing the mischievous legislation which the house of Commons has recently completed, the debate will he beneficial to the public. Perhaps, as Lord Ilowicx suggested, the Parliament may be again assem bled in the autumn. fr lie proceedings yesterday at the Anti-Corn-law Con fereuce speak for themselves. Gentlemen who declared they will pay no taxes till the Corn-law he repealed, Were Vo'ciferously cheered. The recital " that workmen have said it was not words would move Parliament, but force, and they would have it if they did not change their system," was heard with no disapprobation. In the manufacturing districts men declare that " no good can be done until they riot," and in the metropolis the information is received with approbation. To-day and to-morrow it will be spread through the whole oem pire,.and the ideas of rising. f rioting, and of r e f us i ng to pay taxes, will be presented at one and the same time to many thousand persmr. The sanctity once belonging to the law, which prevented such conceptions; is at an end ; the minds of the people are becoming familiarised with the idea of resistance ; and, it' their misery be net, rdieTed, it will not be lon before corresponding deeds will spring from the idea. In col - ninon with many members of the Conference, tittil with - the memorialists from flinekley, we have be= conto convibeed that it is useless to place" before the Par liameOrtind the aristocracy evidence of the suterings of the people.

" Who runs may read." POR.EIGN. .Amongst the leading articles of the Paris journals, which are almost exclusively on the approaching elections, we find two of a nature to enable us to give extracts. The Debate, in the course of an appeal to the electors, says : " In a few days more the discussion which is now carried on in the journals will be submitted to the electors. It is an im portant moment, for every body is aware that electoral France is on the point of giving a solemn judgment. A great ques tion is about to be decided—whether the G'overnment of the country shall continue to belong to the system of Conservatism and progress, or be delivered up to that s.f disorder and adven ture. Will the approaching Gtainber strengthen the institu tions established in July, 1830. or will it let loose those pas sions which hove so frequently disturbed them? Such is the question which every elector who is friendly to his county ought to put to himself seriou-ly. . The Constitutionnel, M. Thier's organ, has the following:— Nobody desires to be considered Ministerial candidate. Can any of our readers point .out a person that is' one?. In the three or four hundred circulars and professions of faith which have been published, it would be difficult to find one which says, ' I am anxious for the preservation of the Ministry, ar.d 1 will vote for them.' If any writer should awkwardly let ail such phrases drop from his pen, he hastens to withdraw the un fortunate declaration, and to &fend himself from all suspicion of being a partisan of the Cabinet. Marshal Soult, who is residing at the Royal residence of Meudon, .has been slightly indisposed, arising from tke fatigue he underwent last Thursday, when the King made a round to inspect the progress' of the fortifications. It had been gene rally reported that, from the state of his Majesty's legs, he was unable to mount on horseback; but these rumours are contra dicted by the fact, that lie was for several hours mounted, and exhausted several of his suite by his lengthened inspection of several forte. The Duke of Orleans visited the Gallant Mar shal on his Royal Highness's return from Metz. The Please des Pyrenees of the Ist instant, announces the arrival of the two sons of Don Francisco de Paula at Corunna, coming from England. It was said they were to proceed to Madrid A letter from Constantinople states that the three Powers, Austria, England, and France, proposed using coercive mea sures to make the Porte keep the stipulations 'made to the people of Lebanon ; but that Russia, and finally Prussia, though consenting to remonstrate, and agreeing in the necessity ut having a Christian Governor, still objected to coercion. Not withstanding the objection of the two Powers, it is said that the Engli.h and French squadrons will repair to Beyrout ; and as the captive Sheiks have escaped, another insurrection may take place in the Lebanon, unless the Porte yields. The Gazette formally contradicts the announcement. of the I'atriota, that a bargain had been concluded with the Bank of San Fernando for an advance of 40,000,000 reals, at 12 per cent, discount. It appears, however, that on the 27th a com pact was entered Into, with that bank and other capitalists, for an advance of 30,000,000 mats, at the aforesaid rate. PARLIAMENTARY. The House of Lords did not meet yesterday. The Commons read the Sudbury Disfranchisement Bill a third time and passed it, after a division on an amendment moved by IMr. Blackstone to throw the borough open to the neighbouring hundred. The numbers were, 134 to 53. The evening was almost entirely occupied by the adjourned debate on Mr. Wallace's motion, which we briefly mention elsewhere. The debate was again adjourned. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times has the following cursory remarks on the quar ter's revenue :—•' The quarterly return of the revenue, which we this day publish, contains no feature of importance. Amidst the wide and notorious prevalence of national distress, it is some consolation to be enabled to say that its reflex on the national resources is much less than would have been antici pated. On the year ending the sth instant an increase of re venue, amounting to 665,1751., is exhibited ; but as a portion of this increase, amounting to 463,1471., is placed under the vague heading of miscellaneous,' there exist no possible means of assigning its just value till the details are furnished. In the quarterly return there is this discouraging element, that in the comparison with the quarter ending July 5, 1841; there is a decrease in the customs alone of 426,3951., sufficient to overbalance all the items of increase which appear under the other• heads of revenue, and to leave on balance a decrease in the quarterly revenue of 26,427/. The Post•offrce experiment makes a slower progress than was anti. cipated, but is net absolutely unfavourable. The increase in the year ending the sth inst. is 106,00 C/., and on the quarter 35,000/. From this point in the returns of the national income the public may now look, it is to be hoped, fur a regular ad var.ce ; we do not mean that arising from the Income-tax, which is a palpable and obvious one, but from the further de velopement of our resources as a commercial country. if not, the great measures of the present session will have been passed in vain." The nines thus alludes to the recent judgment of Lord Brougham respecting lay baptism :—" On Saturday last Lord Brougham delivered the judgment of the Privy Council upon the validity of lay baptism, as viewed by the laws and canons of the Church of England. That baptism has been adjudged good ; and we are disposed heartily to acquiesce in (ILA deci • sion. It certainly derives no slight authority from its accord ance with the ecclesiastical law and practice of, we believe, all the rest cf Christendom." On the subject of the revenue the Chronicle says—" Our readers will find elsewhere the revenue accounts for -the quarter and year ended sth July 1842. On the quarter, as comi ared with the corresponding quarter of 1811, there is a de -crease of 26,4271. The great decrease is on the customs, 426,395/. In the Excise there is an increase of Stamps ... ....... Taxes Pos'-office £94,000 17,558 28,5.18 35,000 £175,106 If we deduct this sum from the decrease *the cus toms The deficiency on the quarter would be But then the increase on the item Miscellaneous amounts to no less than 195,522 Which reduces the deficiency to •• £55,767 And there is an increase in imprest and other moneys £69,545 Not exactly understanding these items, we, of course sup pose that great industry has been employed in the con trivances to reduce apparently the amount of deficiency. In the revenue for the year there in an increase of £779,903 And, after deducting the decrease. 114,728 The balance of increase is. £665,175 Here again the increase is chiefly in the miscellaneous, 463,1471. We are glad to perceive that the next important item on which there is an increase is the Post-office, which has yielded for the year no less a sum than 539,000/. is no less than 106,0001. It i s a subjectand nn which wwhhiiechh the e e p i e n o c p r l e e a o se f these islands may well feel proud, that after the great revolu • tion, by which individuals, however dist ant from each other, have been admitted to the privilege of intercommunication, at an expense hardly felt by the poorest of them, there should, on deducting all charges, still accrue a revenue of 539"0/., with the prospect of a still greater increase. Were the Post -office merely able to pay its expenses, it would still be a powerful means of forwarding the business of the country, to say nothing of the additions which so enormous an increase of intercommu nication must have made to social enjoyment." The Herald says —" The amount of revenue for the year ending yesterday is 45 ; 337,400/., against 44,672,225/. for the year expiring the same day last year. The improvement, small though it be, in the income derived from the excise, stamps, taxes, Post-office, and miscellaneous imposts, is sa• tisfactory—the more so, as it occurs during a period when, here distress universal, those sources of income would have been depressed in production. There is nothing in the revenue accounts for the quarter to beget fear or despondency—on the contrary there is a little to encourage hope. Were all our national prospects as bright as those of the Treasury, there would indeed be little to apprehend. MONEY — TILADE—COMMERCE.

Though there was little or no report there was a bright flash of light, followed by a vapour that had a strong sulphurous smell. Beyond having a small hole burnt in it, the letter apparently received no damage. It had been received from London by that mor nine's mail, and was addressed to a lady residing near Otley,—....Leetis Intelligencer.

The de 'eased was dressed in the garb of a labouring man. Verdict— Died from natural causes.

THE ARTIFICIAL Ice..—Several of the b,st skaters went to the New.road, in November last year, to try sonic ar tificial ice which had been invented to keep Gunter and Grange in countenance during the ang.days, and to afford the adven turous youth of Britain an opp;a - tur.ity of floundering through their evolutions without the fear of the Royal Humane So ciety's hooks bef ore t h e i r eyes .

Although no t so goo d as virgin ice , it is very superior , to the macadamised r o ad w hich misguided people attempt to ' skate upon in the Serpentine.

Private letters received this morning from Manchester state that the intelligence by the Overland Mail from India had been viewe.t as 'favourable, and had created an expectation that the next accounts would probably cause an improvement in business. It is with !egret that it is stated that the correspondence delivered in London would lead to a conclusion directly contrary. Both letters and price currents represent the markets all over India to be completely glutted with cotton manufactures, the larger por tion of which are held on account of the consigners. They singularly agree in one fact, that of directly stating that a permanent improvement in trade can only be looked for from a diminution in the stock, which can be brought about but by a cessation of imports.

This bein,3 lazt, 32-nlri at-the of England, the confusion in the Rotunda has been very much increased, and fully shows the imperative necessity of the Bank providing accommodation anti resuming as early as possible. The accounts of the revenue have attracted some; attention, but upon the whole do not appear to give much satisfaction. A feeling of disappointment is visible at the lirge decrease in the Custo.ns during the prtsent quarter ; and while it is admitted that, much of it is owing to the contem plated reduction in the duties, ye& it is considered that the demand for goods which is usual at the period of the year just passed, would, hid it existed as had been customary, have more than coun erbalanced the deficiency occasioned by paying the duties upon no more than necessity compelled. Accounts from Launceston to the 16th of March have been received, but contain no intelligence of importance. The colony appears to be steadily andfacourably progressing, and although complaints of the dulness of trade are made there, as well as in the other parts of Australia, yet the prospect of abundant crops as Well as a great increase in the quantity of wool, is good. The necessity and importance of communication with other settlements was fully admitted, and measures were about being taken to carry such improvements into effect.

THE THAMES TUNNEL.—We mentioned last week that the atmospheric railway apparatus was likely to be laid down in the Thames Tunnel, for the conveyance of passengere. We have since learnt that it is proposed to apply the apparatus to the ascent and descent, not only of passengers, but horses, carriages, goods, &e., by means of the existing passenger shafts, so as entirely to obviate the necessity of further open ings, which, of necessity, must be of a very expensive character. It is believed that the cost of the apparatus would not amount to one-tenth part of the sum necessary to form carriage ap proaches, as originally intended. Sir I. M. Brunel, the emi nent engineer of the Tunnel, immediately on inspecting the railway at Wormwood Scrubbs, discovered how applicable it would be to the extraordinary work which he has, with so much energy and skill, brought nearly to completion.—Rail way Times. GUERNSEY, JUNE 30.—0 n Monday afternoon, Admiral Sir Edward Codringtnn, Port Admiral at Ports mouth, arrived here from Jersey, on board the Fanny yacht, accompanied by her Majesty's cutter Seaflower. Lieutenant Robilliard. On Tuesday morning his Excellency Major- General Napier went off. to the Fanny to .meet the gallant Adm!ral. Shortly afterwards two boats left the Fanny, and a salute, fired from Fort George. announced that Sir Edward Codrington was coming ashore. In the first boat were Sir Edward and General Napier ; in the second, Captain Cod rington, 11. N. (son of Sir Edward), two lathes, Harry Dobree, sen., Esq., and his son, Lieutenant Dobree, R.N. The party landed at the north pier, and by some singular coin cidence, directly under the stern of the schooner Navarino, which coincidence must have stt uck General Napier, as we perceived hint directing the attention of the gallant Admiral to the vessel's name. In the afternoon the whole party proceeded on an excursion to Sark, in the two boats, and returned in the evening. On Wednesday, the Lieutenant-Governor and the Admiral made a tour of inspection round the island. This morning ( Thursday) his Excellency General Napier embarked on board the packet for Jersey, on a visit to his Excellency General Sir Edward Gibbs, where he will remain for a few days. Admiral Codrington will remain here a short time longer. EXTRAORDINARY RACE.—Yesterday morning, at fire minutes past 5 o'clock, 52 carrier pigeons belonging to dif ferent persons at Brussels, were let loose at Liverpool, and started off with the swiftness of the wind, on a race to the Bel gian capital. They had been brought over to this place co vered up in a basket, for a grand trial of their swiftness and . sagacity in returning to their homes. and the winner of the r ace will carry off a handsome sweepstakes. They were set at li berty in the neighbourhood of St. Ltle's Church. and imme diately rose to at least double the height of its tower, slier which they all started off to the south-east, the direct route to Brussels, with incredible rapidity. When they were let loose, the morning was bright and beautiful, but if the rain should have been as heavy in the south-east (luring the day as it was here, their flight will have beet greatly impeded, and some of them will be likely to lose their way across ihe channel. We shall be curious to hear the result of this extraordinary race.— Liverpool Times, Tuesday. ANOTHER PROPHECY.L-A ridiculous prophecy, resembling that which lately frightened or amused the people of London, and which threatened an awful earth qmike to the metropolis, is now rif • in the neighbourhood of Inverness. War is to be the medium of destruction in the present case. "The sa ord, the sword, is coming upon Scotland," and, according to the Highland seer, the enemy will, in August next, land upon that side of the sea, or Cro warty Frith, on %% hfch the sun rises. Houses and villages are to be V.lirtied, and the last battle is .to be foUght on the mountain opposite Lochassie. They that flee away shall cross the little burn at the end of Lochassie, and proceed by Lochness. The enemies, it is said, are to be " clothed in drab-coloured dresses," an army of Quakers ! Yet Quakers do not fight, so that the armed men cannot be genuine Obadiahs. The great body of the people are to go by Loch Dunteichiag, " and the pursuers," continues the prophecy, " shall stop on the side of the hill which is towards the Belaidh, and they shall go no further. When the dead bodies- shall be buried on the battle-field great shall be the burying-place that shall be theirs !" This nonsensical farrago, which seems to proceed from a disordered intellect, and not from a cunning impostor, has been transmitted from Canada, by an old Highlander, who left this neighbourhood 37 years ago, under the impression that the event now predicted would one day take place. Some persons think that Donald has been engaged by an emigrant agent in Canada to prac tise on the ignorant and superstitious of his country men, to induce them to fly from this danger, and seek a shelter on the other side of the Atlantic. The prophecy has been widely circulated, and is believed by hundreds -we might almost say thousands—of the country peo ple. Meetings are held on the subject, and the utmost consternation is evinced. It is said also that appearances of fighting men and strange figures are witnessed in the sky, near Leys ; and it is not impro. bable that some atmospheric phenomena may have hap pened to cause this impression. The heat of the season has been intense, and one optical illusion of the kind, by refraction, undoubtedly took place at Foit George. It is lamentable to think how long the empire of supersti tion and credulity has been maintained over the human inind.—ltverness Courier. RUMOURED " AFFAIR OF 'lol4oUB: l —The on slit of Saturday night last, amongst the lovers of gossip in our town, was that an "affair of honour" had, in the course of the afternoon, come off in some secluded spot near the sand. hills beyond Bootle. The story, such as it is, runs as follows :—About thr,:e o'clock on Saturday afternoon a respectably-dressed individual summoned the driver of Mr. Morris's car, 169, from the stand, and ordered him t o d r i ve t o the house of Mr. Bates; the Boar's Head, Drury-lame. The car was driven to the place ordered, end the driver was'requested to ac company the gentleman to th'e - shop of Messrs. Pow.ll and Williams, gun' and 'pistol4nakers. The gentleman there desired to be furnished with a pair of duelling pitols, powder. ball, and percussion -caps. He left on these a deposit of three sovereigns, giving his name and address, and saying he would try the pistols, and, if he did not like them, return them on Monday. He returned, accompanied by the driver to the Boar's-head, where, with two other persons, he got into a car, a hick was, by order of the parties, driven to the sandhills beyond Bootle. The three then got out and adjourned to some distance, when, presently, the carman heard two pistol-shots. He ran to the spot, where he saw that one of the gentlemen had been wounded in the arm. He was ordered to return to hi,-car, where, in a few minutes, he was joined by the party, the members of which got in, and ordered him to drive back to Liverpool. One of the individuals remarked to the other, as they took their seats, "I could have shot you, if I had thought proper." Such are the incidents which we have gathered relative to this piece of gossip, and we have no doubt of their truth. Whether the two principals and ' the one second who went to the ground so lo%ii sly in the car intended merely to send for, 11 a rumour through the mouth of the carman, or whether they were really silly enough to fight a real duel, we cannot say. We leave the matter to future investigut ion. LiverpoulAlbion.

FIGHT BETWEEN JOHNNY WALKER AND NED ADANIS FOR 2001.—Tuesday a prize fight for the above sum took place in a field near 13racknell, in Berkshire, between Johnny Walker and Ned Adams, both belonging to the London ring. After fighting forty-two rounds in one hour and a half, Adams being severely punished, W a lk er was d ec l are d the victor. Waler was the favourite during the contest, the odds being five to two on him. There is not a single London Bankrupt in last night's Gazette. From all we can learn, the harvest promises to he early, abundant, and good ; a little more rain, however, if it pleased Providence to bestow it, would apparently produce much benefit. THE LIVERPOOL AND GLASGOW STEA AD MIRA favourite vessel arrived here on Friday, after a remarkably short passage from Greenock. It is with pleasure we observe her resume her place between Liverpool and Glas gow, for, without disparagement to others, the Admiral is, to our taste, as fine a first•class steamer as is to be met with in this country. Sh e i s o f t h e same c l ass an d d e scription as th e Achilles, and. f rom w h at we cap l earn, i s o f greater length of keel than the famed Boston and Halifax steam-ships. Although the speed, elegance, and comfort of the Admiral are so well known to travellers, we recommend every person who can ap predate a fine steam-ship to go view the Admiral.-- Liverpoo Albion.
