With English Notes. By the s" Y • F• VALPY, Trinity College, Cambridge, and titer of Reading School. Bvo. 95. 6d. This work is intended to be read after Dr. Valpy's G rtk Del tai ectus. It retains a rd of the Gk of paelters Analecta Mi nora , and der v i es the remains of its text from other sources. The Lexicon is Greek and Eng- L ijo h l and it almost universally facilitates the remem wen, of the words of the Greek text by the insertion of Wo rds derived from them in Latin or in English, and by a ecr erni investigation of their derivation. All such difficult rrcs of verbs as occur ix the work arc put in their alpha uctieal order, and referred to their proper tense and root. , These selections from the Greek poets, historians, and P : il °cophers, are characterised by a severe and correct taste' and are besides assisted and rendered accessible to ttie d ullest capacity, by the twof o ld a d van t ages o f explana oryo n el 4 B, and a copious index.

FOR SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES. Just published, by A. J. VALPY, Red Lion -court, Fleet-street, London; and may be had o all Booksellers. QCITOOL and COLLEGE GREEK CLASSICS, with ENGLISH NOTES, QUES TIONS, &c. At the desire of many Schoolmasters, Mr. VALPY has commenced a SERIES of such portions of the GREEK AUTHORS as are chiefly read in the upper classes of Schools and in Colleges. The best Texts are adopted, and the Critical and Explanatory Notes are presented in a more accessible form than those of Latin Commentators, by avoiding that profuseness of annotation which frequently anticipates the ingenuity, supersedes the industry, and re tards rather than promotes the improvement of the pupil. EXAMINATION QUESTIONS, adapted to the points discussed in the Notes, and INDEXES, are also added. Each will be sold separately ; and it is intended that all shall be published ix a cheap duodecimo form. The following are already published : THUCYDIDES. A New Text; though almost always coinciding with one or other of the Texts of Bekker, Goeller, and Poppo ; with a statement of their respective vari,ttions from the adopted readings, and an amended Punctuation. By the Rev. S. T. BLOOMFIELD, D.D F. S.A. Three Volumes, I/. is. boards. " The best praise that we can bestow on the Notes is, that they form a valuable commentary, by which a careful student may acquire a clear and lasting acquaintance with the style and meaning of Thucydides. We have collated eaveral passages of the Text with the editions quoted in the title, the best reading appears to be adopted in all cases, and that after careful deliberation and extensive research." —Ada,. 2 HERODOTUS, Val. 1., containing tile Continuous History in Books I. to VI. 9s. 6d.

" This is, beyond all comparison, the best student's edi tion of a Greek Play, which has ever been given to the public.

Southgate Want, who was formerly an auc tioneer, residing in Skinner-street, was brought be fore Sir PuTER LAURIE, on a warrant granted on the complaint of the overseers of St. Sepulchre's, that he, being able wholly, or in part, to maintain his wife, had neglected to do so, whereby she had become chargeable to the said parish. Elizabeth Want, a plain-looking woman, about :35 years of age, put in the certificate of her mar riage, and an agreement, in which the defendant bound himself to pay her 10s. per week as a sepa rate maintenance, which, she said, he had Lad) railed to do, and she had been compelled to seek as sistance from the parish. Defendant admitted the marriage, and said they '.vere separated very soon after their union, and he h a d discontinued the allowance from inability to pay it. lie had kept a house in Skinner-street for I years, but gave it up four months ago, and was now in reduced circumstances, living rent-free in one oi his father's cottages. The wife said it was not true that he was so re duced. He was keeping a horse and cart, and a fe male. Defendant said it was impossible to live with such a woman as his wife. She was a bad character. One m,qt who lived with her had been hung, and she had breught another to ruin. The Wife declared these accusations were false. Defendant's solicitor (Mr. Humphreys), who had hitherto pressed his poverty only, caught at defen dant's declarations, and said, if he could prove them, he was not bound to allow her a halfpenny.—" You know that is good King's Bench law, Sir Peter," said he, turning to the Alderman. " I do," replied Sir PETER, " and it is important that all married women should know the law of the land now is, as the Judges of the King's Bench have recently declared, that if a wife lives with another man, the husband is relieved entirely from the obli gation to support her. I shall look very strictly, however, at any proof that may be brought, and I hope that the decision o f t h e Judges may not lead to a connivance at the commission of the crime." Monday was fixed fo'r hearing the evidence of l'oirs. Want's conduct, but ultimately the husband agreed to pay her Gs. a week, and abandon his accu sation. MATII.I3OItOUGH-STREET. ST. JAMES'S CHURCH- RATE. _Mr. Edward Ewen, of Jermyn-street, accompanied by several parishion ers, came before Mr. DYER, to appeal against the church rate now levied in his parish, on the ground that it never could be ascertained what money was required for repairing the church, sinless some esti mate was first made of the expence. Mr. DYER observed, that he did not exactly see why the Magistrates should call upon the church wardens to show the grounds on which they had levied the present rate of threepence in the pound for repairing the church ; and in this opinion he was supported by those around him. Mr. Ewen then commented on the double stipends got under the Acts of James 11. and George 11, which altered the former Act, by the assistant Mi nister out of the poor -rates; and remarked that some portion of the pew-rents ought, as formerly, to be applied to the repair Of the parish church. Mr. Haines, the collector, alleged the necessity of having an efficient assistant preacher, without whom the pew-rents would fall greatly in value, and leave nothing to appropriate to the repairs of the church. Mr, DYER—I do not see that we have any right to interfere with the appropriation of the pew-rents. After some remarks from Mr. Ewen, the Magi strates were decidedly of opinion, that unless he could show that the authority of the churchwardens was invalid, he must comply with the church-rate so OLD BAILEY. JAN. 8. George Gillet was indicted on the Coroner's in quisition, which charged him with having thrown bricks and mortar into the room where Mary Steers, since deceased, was sitting, and with entering the room afterwards with a sheet on him and an axe in his hand, using threatening gestures, by which the deceased was mortally frightened, of which she lan guished, from September to the 9th of December, and then died. The parish surgeon examined the body eight days after the decease, but he could not state the cause of her death.—The Jury acquitted the prisoner. John Simms, a lad about 17 years old, was charged with stealing a table-cloth, and some other trifling articles, the property of his mother, Frances Simms. The mother, a Ns Oman of rather respectable ap pearance, entered the witness-box in a state of great agitation. She proved that she had not given her son leave to pawn the property produced, which was her's. On her cross-examination she stated, that she had been a widow twelve years, and lives in the house of Mr. Jenkins, Regent's-park. Being pressed respecting her having younger children, instead of answering, she threw herself on her knees, and ex claimed in a most impassioned manner, " Oh, God forgive me, I will never transport my child !” She was carried out of Court in violent hysterics. Two pawnbrokers proved that the prisoner had pawned the articles laid in the indictment. The Jury acquitted him. He was tried on another indictment for unlaw fully pawning the clothes of his mother's servant ; but ai it appeared that these were mixed up wit his mother's, he was again acquitted. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JAN. 8. GROSS ASSAULT UPON THE NEW POLICE. Itrilliam Kemp, Reuben Room, and John Phillips, were indicted for assaulting Henry Kiss and John Dove, two of the new police. The Jury found the prisoners Kemp and Room Guilty, and acquitted Phillips. Kemp and Room were sentenced to four months' hard labour. John and Janics ASCII, two brothers, the sons of highly respectable parent, were convicted of steal ing a silk handkerchief from the pocket of a gen tleman, at the late public meeting of the freeholders of Middlesex, held at the Mermaid tavern, Hackney. Sentence was not passed, it being understood that the boys would be sent to sea by their father, and they were detained until a ship was got ready for them. A metallic piston has been introduced in steam-engines by Mr. M‘DowALL, of Johnston, which is said to be a great improvement—it requires no packing, the steam itself being found to be the best lubricator.— With a metallic air-pump bucket, a metallic piston, and a metallic stuffing-box, a steam-engine will now be a permanent machine, as far as the strength of materials is concernel. There is no loss of power from the packings giving way, no withdrawing of pistons, or pump-buckets to be repacked, no expense for hemp and tallow, which will, in one ye tr, cost as much as a new metallic piston, independent of the attention necessary at all times to keep the piston and stuffing-box properly oiled, so that the engine may work smoothly, and at the same time be steam-tight. From the nature of their construction, the lonver these metallic pistons are worked, both cylinder and piston acquire a higher degree of polish. The friction is thereby diminished, while, at the same time, the power of the engine is increased to the extent (it is alleged) of one eighth.— Greenock Advertiser. " % I HE COTTON TRADE. rem the Airerpool Herald.) On the cotton trade depends the prosperity of Lancashire ; every other local manufacture is subservient to this, and indeed th e w h o l e o f t h e commerce of Liverpool bears a mo re i n ti ma t e aught, therefore,iotntoitth than be is well letrianderstood by more generally suppos e d. It Wan those directly interested in it, and as its very extensiveness renders speculation in this important article a thing of constant occurrence, a Niel' view of the prospect which the cotton market at this moment presents, may not altoge- Wer be useless either to merchants or manufac turers. There is a palpable error into which even commercial men are perpetually falling, re specting the quantity and value of all produceable trticles. We are constantly told that West India Planters will cease to produce sugar and coffee, ecause the price is not a remunerating one, and the same principle has been applied to the pro duction of cotton. A knowledge of the first axiom in political science would tend to correct :his error; and the truth enforced by the econo mists is confirmed by experience. Sugar and cotton continue to be grown in abundance, and they always will be grown, because no article will ever be brought to market, year after year, unless the price obtained is a remunerating one. It must come up to this, or the commodity will not be brought to market, and as it is essential that it shall come to market the average price will always be fair and ample, compared with the profits of other pursuits. Thus, those who , peculated twelve months since, on an advance in the prico of cotton, have been miserably dis appointed. It is now even lower, and though the political disorganization of the Continent has occasioned a diminution of consumption, there can be little doubt that the supply, had the sale been greater, would have fully equalled the de maaid. We may, therefore, and dealers in cotton ought to know it, rest assured, that in the absence of hostilities with America, there will be no defi ciency in the quantity beyond the influence of seasons, and it is pretty certain that an advance i❑ price cannot be calculated on. The stock on hand is considerable, and the means of im portation ample. The crop in the United States is calculated at 1,01)0,000 bags. Egypt—dis crediting the report of improved means of pro duction —may be taken at 90,000; and though Brazil is, as usual, involved in mystery, the plan adopted by the East India Company for raising the character of their cotton, enables us to look to the East with considerable confidence, should the supply from other places fail short. The sale of cotton in this market for the preceding year, may be taken at the average of 14,000 bags a week. During the first six months it exceeded 16,000 bags, and as the stock in the manufacturing districts is much less heavy now than at the close of 1829, we may set down by anticipation 15,000 bags, at least, as the average of the weekly demand for the next 12 months. Ihe principal supply of cotton comes from the United States, and the following statement will show the quantity produced there for the last six years:— la 1825-6—.710,900 bags I In 1828-9 —857,744 bap; 1826-7-.937,000 162 fl-SO. .976,845 1827-8-.712,000 Of this quantity, somewhat more than half was imported into this country; the annual consump tion, made up from other places, during the same period, being Liverpool.

Take upland, ordinary to middlings, for example. In 1826 it is quoted from bid. to 6id. per lb. In 1827, 54d. to Sad. In 1828, Sid. to 6d. In 1829, NA. to 6-141., and in 1830, sid. to 6+d. It is an unpleasant reflection that events which awaken our last sympathies, and give hopes of brighter prospects of humanity, should be followed by commercial and manufacturing inconvenience, that ultimately fall on the labour ing classes. The continental revolutions which have happily succeeded each other so rapidly, have occasioned a considerable diminution in the quantity of employment previously afforded in the manufacturing districts. Commerce thrives only in seasons of tranquillity ; it had been pro gressing, with a still further promise of improve ment, when the revolution in Paris, last July, gave a sudden shock to trade. Capitalists shrunk from adventure. Merchants became suspicious, and the want of means, consequent upon the want of employment, incapacitated the people from purchas►ng. The revolt at Brussels gave a further extension to the evil, and the unsettled state of affairs ever since has been any thing but beneficial to our trade. In the consumption of cotton alone there is a sad decline, and it is even now a question whether a steady confidence in commercial men can be restored in time to en able us to describe the evil as but partial. The manufacture of cotton has not, according to the latest returns, increased to any extent on the Continent, and circumstances may arise to give us a decided advantage in those political revolutions which, though attended with partial embarrassments to ourselves, excite our just ad miration. The disorders in other places may— and are likely to direct the attention of monied ' men and speculators to the sec►►rity this country affords ; the interruption given to manufacturers may ultimately increase the productive industry of our looms. Something like this is now taking place ; the cotton mills are nearly all employed and the activity which prevailed inspired the operatives with the desire of obtaining an in crease of wages. Manchester was threatened with a " turn out," but as the earnings of spin ners are comparatively high, the project fa►led, and discontent is still confined to Ashton-under- Lyne and its neighbourhood, when in conse quence 120 mills are idle. There is, however, an approach to accommodation, and though trade has sustained slight interruption, there are hopes of permanent good being the result. Liverpool, Jan. 3. 1). D.
