EVENING EDITION. SCRAPS from AMERICAN PA ER', ontinued he in a stern voice, "no man fastens them again, unless I am guilty of some other crime than colour and the love of freedom I Why should my limbs be chained more than yours ? Did not the same Father create us both, and give us life and liberty alik • ."' A young lady who was present asked him how much he would be worth to his old master provided he should be carried back. " Why," said he, " I should bring about fifteen hundred dollars." " And," continued the lady, "would you not be willing to return to slavery if your master would let you have all the money ?" " No," ..xclaimed he instantly, " not for twenty hundred dol lars ! You know my mind wouldn't be free—l should think all the time that I was a slave ; money would not buy happy thoughts." We could but bid him "on ward !" as he turned joyfully upon his heel and fixed his eye upon the polar star. " Rev. Mr. B—, a Presbyterian preacher of Ohio, was some short time since in company of several other gentlemen descending the Ohio river in a steam-boat. He made himself known as an abolitionist by telling the negroes on board that they were as free as any men. The company unhesitatingly ordered the captain to land his boat on the Kentucky shore. He refused at first, they persisted in the order, the boat was landed, a rope was tied round the neck of B— and thrown across the limb of a tree, and at the instant they were about to swing him up, his wife fainted at their feet. This touching scene moved the feelings of the venerable J— R—, and through the influence of his powerful eloquence, they spared the life of B at that time. But, Sir, continues the gentle brother, "he may be thankful that he was on Kentucky soil, for if he had been on the soil of some of the other states, eloquence would have availed him nothing in that crisis." CONTENTMENT.—The coloured man who has been confined in a gaol at Cambden for seven weeks past, on suspicion of loving liberty, has got free from the Chris tian blood-hounds who placed him there. By jumping handcuffed from a window in the third story of a house at Mount Holly, whither he had been carried for trial, he has proven pretty conclusively, that such a suspicion was correct.

IR "mg ARENTS.—An American editor accompanies ' the publication of a list of news agents, with the follow ing prescription for the especial benefit of some thirty ' eight defaulters :—" Dreadful Mortality.—A fearful e pidemic has been raging in the fourth page and fifth nokumn of this paper. It has already swept off TPIIRTY i Eldliff of the inhabitants o f th a t reg i on , an d f rom the ab -1 aquae of late returns, serious apprehensions are entertained lost the contagion is spreading with still greater devasta tions. It has hith er t o b a ffl e d t h e s k i ll o f a phy s icia n , I acknowledged by his most inveterate ill-wisher to possess 'no inconsiderable ability.' Wheedling and coaxing, scolding, exhorting, and threatening,' each, in its turn, is said to have been tried, but all has proved of no avail. The disease is somewhat peculiar in its symptoms, idevelopment, and consummation. It commences by )an indifference in the head, producing stupor, ge treral lassitude, and consequent sluggishness, soon per fecting itself in unfaithfulness in the discharge of ' duties by a total inactivity of the extremities, es pecially in the feet, the tongue, the thumb and two fingers of the right hand. From this stage of the dis order the transition is very rapid. It soon strikes at the heart and then the case of the patient is hopeless, for entire apathy immediately ensues, quickly followed by death. Although wholly unskilled in pharmacy, we will venture to prescribe to those afflicted by the pre monitory symptoms, the following simple antidote, peradventure it may check the wide spreading malady. Procure -1 pen, 1 inkstand, and 2 tablespoonsful of ink ; put the ink into the inkstand, and if the pen is not in good order let it be mended, so that everything may be fair. Get from :2 or 3 to 15 or 20 blank receipts for the Philanthropist, and let them be filled out embracing a period of one to four years. De posit them in the jacket pocket on the left side, as near the heart as possible, (provided vitality is not clean gone,) and unloose the tongue and tell A, B, C, and D what you have (lone. as convenience or oppor tunity may offer, consistently with other less pressing duties. Be careful to note the results, and immediately therettpon procure from one half to a sheet of letter paper, and transmit the observations to the publishing _ ag ent of the Philanthropist at Cincinnati, main st., be tween 4th and sth, East side up stairs, where any farther advice will be promptly and gratuitously de spatched. If, however, this nostrum should tail to effect a cure, it is to be feared that another cannot be fur nished from the whole circle of materia medica, and the r esult must be, for aught that human skill can prevent, the entire depopulation of the unhappy.community to wliicfi reference has been made. Do try it for mercy's sake.—H." SXANDARD OF MORALS IN LOUISIANA.—The inci dent related below, is from a young gentleman who was , al, eye-witness of the scene. He has recently returned F from the South after a residence there of more than a year. It shows how little vice stains the character of a young man in that State, and exhibits the low stapdard by which even the ladies there estimate a virtitrous temper and correct moral habits. Our inform ant in not an abolitionist, and refuses the use of his name and the name of the parties, because he thinks of returning again to the South. Alas ! how many mouths are dumb for the same reason ! He says that intoxica tion is very common with nearly all the Southern young men with whom he is acquainted, and that it is consi dered no very serious matter of reproach to them.Healso states that the howie-knite is almost as common an ap pend t,ge to a finished gentleman, as a watch or a p lir ot gloves—that the young ladies have a much liglies- opinion of a young man who cuts an antagonist badly with it, than of one who does not wear that ter rible weapon, but patiently bears insult—that they do not care how severe the wounds are, provided they are Lot fatal—the more severely one is hacked, the greater the evidence of the spirit and chivalry in the hacker— but they do not like a young blood quite so well, if be realty extinguishes the spark of life. The scene is described in ne.arly his owa words—" In the parish of --, in Loaisiana, I was invited to a ball, at which there were more than one hundred ladies present, besides the gentlemen. Many of the ladies were very beautiful and accomplished. One ot their number, who was especially distinguished in this respect, was invited INcENDIARtsm.—On Saturday evening last, about half-past seven, a fire broke out at the farm of Mr. Buddle, near Hamden, in the parish of Eastry. The wind blowing fresh, the barn and stacks were soon enve loped in flames, by which the large barn, with its contents, I the waggon and other lodges, four stacks of corn, and the implements of husbandry, were completely destroyed— some hogs and poultry were also destroyed. The engines from Sandwich were promptly in attendance, followed by those of Deal, but too late to save any of the farming stock ; the attention of the firemen was therefore directed to save a cottage and the dwelling- house, which by judi cious management was effected. Fortunately the wind blew from the S. W. Had it been otherwise, the confla gration mu,a have been dreadful, as the farm of Mrs. Kelley being so close, and the dwelling-house and extensive buildings belonging to H W. Harvey, Esq., in the imme diate vicinity, would have fallen a prey to the devouring element. We understand Mr. Buddle insured in the Phoenix, but not nearly to the amount of his loss. There is no doubt this is the act of an incendiary. A number of persons assembled on the Dane John mount, in ibis city, from whence the fire was distinctly visible It will be seen by an advertisement in another column that a reward of 1001. is offered for the apprehension of the incendiary. —Kent Herald. ATTACHMENT TO PRISON.—A few days back an elderly man, named Bouix, who had completed his term of imprisonment at the Central House of Detention at Limoges, could not be found at the time when, with several others, he was to be set at liberty. He was at last discovered in an obscure part of the building, and, on be ing questioned as to his motives, said that he wished to remain where he was ; that being no longer young, and without any means of earning his living, he knew not what would become of him. Ho had never been a thief, he said, and had been condemned only as a vagrant. On being told that it was impossible for him to remain, he asked whether, as in the army, he might not become a substitute for one of bis fellow-prisoners, who had still some years to con tinue in confinement. This arrangement, of course, was inadmiasble, and Bouix was literally turned out of prison against lea will, promising the director he would soon conic hack, and would take care that his next cumwittal should be for the rest of his life.

The following is an extract from a letter just received from Sydney, dated in May last, sent to the father of the writer, a respectable tradesman, residing at Windsor : " In my last letter I gave you an account of the treat ment and conduct of the male and female convicts in this colony ; but, notwithstanding the severity with which any outbreak is visited, I am sorry to say the women still continue to be as refractory as ever. There are now 848 women in the female factory at Paramatta, and a more reprobate and troublesome set it would be difficult to find congregated together in any other part of the globe. Of this 848 there are 358 under colo nial sentence, 10 in solitary confinement, 125 engaged in nursing children (of which there are 185 in the fac tory belonging to the convicts), and 28 in the hospital. There are 238 assignable, and 89 not assignable. " Amongst the various mechanics who are most in request here are compositors. There are not half enough in the colony to supply the demand. The Sydney Herald proprietor has just advertised for 12 hands, at 21. per week wages, and the overtime to be paid for at the rate of 10d. per hour. We have now in Sydney fifteen Newspapers published every week, and seven printing offices are in full work. Indeed, it is a difficult thing at times to get a job clone without great delay in consequence of the shortness of hands. " Corn is now very dear. Good wheat fetches 12s. a bushel, very inferior quality is worth from 10s. 6d. to 11 s. Every article of consumption is on the advance, especially meat and bread. " Horse-racing in the colony is engaging the atten tion of our sporting characters. Three magnificent thorough-bred horses arrived here from England, a few days since, in the Brilliant, for Mr. Charles Roberts. A beautiful draught stallion, shipped for the same party, died on the voyage. " I forgot to mention, in speaking of the high price of corn, that a corresponding rise has*taken place in potatoes. They are 10s. and lls. per cwt. " The principles of tee-totalism are gaining ground in Sydney. A few evenings since a very numerous meeting of the New S3uth Wales Temperance Society took place in the old Court House, Castlereagh-street, when the chair was taken by the Governor of the colony. Amongst the numerous speakers was Mr. Windeyer, who was formerly connected with the press in London, but who is now a Justice of the Peace at Sydney. The society is in a very prosperous state, and consists of several hundred members. " The Society of Arts, which was instituted in 1833, is progressing. In that year its annual income was only 149/. ; last year it was upwards of 6701. Its museum contains several highly interesting and valuable relics and curiosities, books, coins, &c. A new building will shortly be erected, on a piece of land to be presented by Goverment. " The theatre is open and well attended. The com pany of French comedians have just left us, and reaped a good harvest ; but they were a wretched set. The English company are now performing under the manage ment of Mr. Lizar. " I cannot conclude my letter without giving you a specimen of legal quibbling in Sydney. Mr. B. A. Philips, of George-street, was charged before his Wor ship with having paved his footway before his house, without giving to the surveyor twenty-four hours' notice. A witness having proved that he saw some men flagging the footpath, the Magistrate (Captain Innes) gave his opinion that the information would not hold good, as the defendant was charged with paving, while the evidence only went to prove that he was flagging. A Mr. Mathew, who was present, was requested by Captain Lines to explain the difference between the two terms. Mr. Mathew gave it as his opinion that " flagging meant forming a footpath with flags or flat stones, and that paving meant forming a road with thick cubical stones." The town surveyor contended that, as the words of the Act were "flagging, paving, gravelling, or putting down a curb stone," "flagging" and " paving" were one and the same offence. Captain lanes, however, who was of a contrary opinion, referred the case to Mr. Windeyer, who agreed with the Captain that " flagging" and " paving" were very different sort of things, and the cases was therefore dismissed. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.- W e are requested to correct an erroneous statement which has appeared in some of the Glasgow newspapers, regard ing the extent of the Tunnel at the head of North Queen street. This " tremendous *unite'," (as it is called), is stated to be three miles in length. The whole extent of tt, however, will ho little more than half a mile; and this too, divided into throe parts, separated by spacious open• ings eyes.' The portion nearest to Queen-street measures or ly 293 yards, the other two portions are 300 and 500 yards respectively. —Glasgow Chronicle. THE TOURNAMENT.—Lord Eglintoun has ad dressed the following to the inhab;tants of Ayrshire and others, who attended the tournament at Eglintoun Castle: I take this opportunity of expressing my sense of the extreme order and good conduct exhibited by the thou sands assembled here at the late tournament, and my grati tude for the universal kindness shown to me individually on that occasion. That I trusted to the good feelings of my fel low countrymen my arrangements may have already shown ; beyond even my expectations I feel proud in offering this public testimoay. F:r the c , :rdialiry with which my attempt to revive the amusements of past days has been met, and the kind feeling; which have been expressed towards me on all sides, and by all classes, I now offer my most sincere and heartfelt thanks; and when I hear evil disposed persons endeavouring to sow contention between the richer and the poorer classes, I will point to the occasion which has just passed for a refutation, and deny that contention can exist where all seem actuated by one common feeling of kindness and of confidence." THE KING OF HANOVER AND THE SUC CESSION TO THE BRITISH THRONE.—WC extract the fol lowing extraordinary article from the Gazette Universelle Leipzich, which reproduces it from that of Magde burg, without note or comment :—" We are assured," says this article, "that Queen Victoria is so weak in health that her deali without heirs is more than probable ; in which case, the King of Hanover and the Prince Ronal would become her legitimate heirs. The Duke of Cambridge, it is true, has made no advance towards the Whig party or towards the Radicals, to impede the legitimate pretensions of his Hanoverian Majesty and the Prince Royal to the Crown of England, or to imitate the example given by the House of Orleans to re place the elder by a junior branch of the family, by the permission of the national representatives; but circum stances might arrive when the Whigs and Radicals might act in order to divert the succession. A combination would then be attempted by means of an augmentation of the members of the Upper House, to obtain a Bill which would restrict the power of his Majesty or of his son, similar to those which took place at the time of the incapacity of George 111. Then it was not the birth but the Parliament of George IV. who conferred the Regency. Our King, who has always looked to the future, protested against the disastrous resolutions of the Parliament, may have called about him Lord Lyndhurst, and some other influential members of each House, to deliberate in advance on the measures necessary to be taken in certain eventual cases, and to be prepared against any wrong which might be contemplated against the presumptive heir, against the Tories, and against the well-being of Great Britain. In a word, to preserve in England the natural and legitimate succession to the throne, in spite of the intrigues of the Radicals and some few misguided Whigs." MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A CLER 01MAN'S SON. —An account appeared in this paper a few days since of the mysterious disappearance of a youth, aged ten years, the son of the Rev. Mr. Warner, of Rochester, Kent, who left home suddenly on the afternoon of the 3d inst. It was subsequently ascertained that he had come to London, from Gravesend, by the Mercury steam-boat. The young gentleman has been restored to his friends. Having called on a friend of his father's, living in the Hampstead-road, the night he reached London, that gen tleman lost no time in communicating the fact to the family. THE LATE SUICIDE AT THE MONUMENT.- The report which appeared in the Morning Papers stating that Mr. Moyes expired on Thursday night, is, we are happy to state, without foundation. He is still alive and in much the same state as he has been for some weeks past. Several of the A division are on duty opposite the house to keep the crowd off. The following notices are front correspondents : —The favourable change of weather that took in this quarter yesterday forenoon has enabled rapid progress to be made with the harvest. Crowds of reapers are to be seen on every hand in the country, and every individu4l that can handle a sickle is in requisition. In Paisley and neighbourhood the wages paid reapers is from 2a. to 2s. 6d. per day, or 2d. per hour for a shorter period. Two or three weeks of continued dry weather would complete the harvest in the lower districts. —Yesterday the rain having ceased to pour down in torrents, as it has done al most incessantly since the Tournament Festival, a vast quantity of grain, wheat, and oats fell under the operation of the sickle in the lower ward of Lanarkshire, and on the coast of Ayrshire. If the weather should hold on favour able for a few weeks the crop, which is good in the quar ters alluded to, will be got in in fine style, and will of course tend to the lowering of the price of provisions. —Glasgow Chronicle. _ BOGNOR ROCKS, SEPT. 11.—The Dowager Marchioness of Northampton, the Hon.

Lord George still on the Rhine. LORD MELBOURNE'S ORATORICAL GES TURES. remember seeing an amusing incident produced by this vehemence of gesture in which his Lordship 60 frequently indulges. It was in the Committee upon the R“- forte Bill ; and Melbourne, who was next to a Noble Ear:, rose and spoke with great energy against some prop tel amendment. According to his usual habit, he took his white. hat in his hand, and having beat the air with it for a few minutes, he, at last, in the delivery of some very import ant serAtence, or some sentence very difficult to enounce. raised himself upon tiptoe, and brought the hat to bear with the full force of a muscular arm upon the cover,. ! occiput of hi: worthy and revered colleague. The blow was a very fair one; the bats met crown to crown, with out any further ap ,arent injury than that of the Noble Edrl seemed to be tightly fixed between his shoulders, and that that great officer of state jumped nimbly upon his l egs , and amidst some of the loudest laughter I ever heard, twi,ted his head out of his hat, and recovered po,;- session of his vision ; the roar which this bit of pantomime created, entirely destroyed the best part of the speaker's argument, and the gravity of the house was certainly not restored afraid b y t t h h e e N El O l l l , k of lee Earl iectoludn could d g h b a a r m d l y remarking,h e see,ias thatu way y cle at through this difficulty.—Pcncillings of Politicians. FATAL ACCIDENT FROM A SPRING- GUN. On Monday week an inquest was held at the Turk's Head, in Ludgate-hill, Birmingham, on the body of John Tottie, a gardener, in the employ of J. Richards, Esq., of Walsall Grove, in the parish of Hagley, who came by his death under the following melancholy cir cumstances :—lt appears, that in consequence of nu merous depredations committed on the grounds of Mr. Richards, spring-guns were placed in the gardens ; but that distinct orders were given that the guns should not be loaded with shot, but with powder and paper, and the wires were taken off every morning. On Wednes day fortnight, between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, the deceased, who had been previously dig ging, went to the gun for the purpose of discharging and re-loading it, when he imprudently pulled the wire in front, and the contents immediately struck the back of his hand. Mary Walters, housemaid to Mr. Richards, as soon as the gun was discharged, and the smoke cleared away, saw the deceased leaning against a bil berry bush, and seeing her he said, " See how 1 have injured my band," which was at the time streaming with blood. John Jolly, footman to Mr. Richards, who was about three hundred yards distant, heard the report of the gun, went into the garden, and met Tottie coming up the walk with his hand bleeding. At that time he appeared weak, but after sittin g a few minutes in the kitchen, he said he was able to walk to Stourbridge, am] Jolly at his request, accompanied him to the surgery of Mr. Betts, for the purpose of having his hand dressed. He appeared to be weak, and fainted on the road. On arriving at Stourbridge, the hand of Tottie was dressed by Mr. Betts,_ and he return e d i n M r . Ri c h ar d s ' s market cart, Mr. Richards was at Bromsgrove at the time the accident happened, but on his arrival at home in the evening. he directed the deceased to have refreshment and go to bed. For some days Tottie appeared to be doing well, and by direction of his master was regularly visited ley Mr. Betts ; but it appears that on Tuesday evening week he imprudently went to Stourbridge Races, where, with two companions, he joined in drinking two quarts of ale, and remained about three hours on the rice course. The following day he was not so well, and on TruursdAy he complained of pains in the back and 1-houlder, and stiffness of the jaws. Mr. Betts per ceiving that there were symptons of what is vulgarly called locked-jaw, recommended that he should be re moved to the General Hospital in this town. The de ceased gradually got worse, and died of exhaustion at ix o'clock on Saturday morning. Mr. Jukes, the sur reon, in the course of his evidence, stated, that during the whole of his practice he never knew a case of locked jaw which did not prove fatal. The Jury, un ier the direction of the Coroner, returned a verdict of Accidental Death, and a deodand of one shilling upon Cue lock of the gun. Mr. Richards was present, and xpressed his deep sorrow for the melancholy occur ;..mce ; he stated that the deceased was an extremely -.early man, and a very valuable s ervant.—Birminghanz Advertiser. FATAL COAL-PIT ACCIDENT. On Saturday morning a most painful accident haP 7;ened at the pits of the Sheffield Coal Company, near a/artnall. The steam-engine, which is four horse power, :about nine o'clock blew up with a tremendous crash, s.dreading devastation and ruin in the immediate vici )iity. The engine -house and chimney were smashed to iaeces ; the boiler was blown to a considei able height in the air, and fell at a distance of 127 yards from its o7iginal position, sinking at least two feet into the earth. 'lle son of Mr. William Hobson, the engineer, a lad red 14, was in the cabin at the time of the explosion ; e was taken out alive, but expired shortly after. His A-her was going towards the place from Mr. Jefcock's, . ad was sufficiently near to witness the awful event. _in inquest was opened on Sunday before Mr. Badger ad a respectable Jury, at the house of Mr. Jefcock, :;,ad adjourned till Wednesday. Since the above was ';.l type a correspondent has sent us the following parti culars :—lt appeared that about the hour above-men- Toned the man in charge of the engine left the engine eouse for some article or other, leaving his son, a south about J 4 years of age, in the place. He had not been absent mere than five or ten minutes when the ex plosion occurred. A faint idea may be gathered of the damage done from the following few particulars :—The top part of the boiler, supposed to weigh from three to three and a half toes, was carried a distance of 125 rd, and on its descent sank three feet into the ;:round, and in consequence of the confined air was lifted out of the earth and carried a distance of eight )ards farther. A fire grate was carried upwards of 80 yards, and sank entirely into the ground. There are eot two bricks left standing of the building, and, which is very singular, most of thorn are as free from mortar is if they had bi•en dressed, and were carried over the Immediate neighbourhood to a distance of 150 yards upwards, breaking boughs-off trees, and cutting up the ground in a manner which must be seen to be be lieved. A supporting rod which passed through the wails of the engine-house, and secured by screws, was carried upwards of ten yards. When the unfortunate )'outli was found he was alive, although both his thighs were broken and otherwise seriously injured. He ex pired immediately upon being taken home. A great part of the engine work is only two years old. The loss amounts to nearly 1,000/.—Sheifield Iris. In some of the letters written from the I n dia n army advancing' upon Cabul, great complaints are made of preferrances shown by the Commander-in. Chief of the Queen's troops over the East India regiments in the selec tions for service, by which the latter are precluded from het: fair snare of the promotions to which the chances of war may lead. This is a grievance which officers in any department, either of the army or navy, will readily enter into; and if it should really appear, on inquiry, to exist it should demand instant attention from those who desire the welfare of the country, which must ever mainly de pend on the efficiency of the military service. To illustrate he point at issue, it is enough to quote a passage from a letter written by one of the East India Company's officers, whose phrases cannot be better chosen for the purpose, and hich says—" We are full of groans about the treatment of our old officers whenever an army is formed for service. Every opportunity is taken of degrading our officers. There are 10 Queen's regiments in Bengal, and there are 99 regiments and battalions in the Company's service, and yet, whenever our troops move for service, they have the lion's share.' At Bburtpore they had six general officers including the Commander-in-Chief, while we had only one, General Adams, and he was only a brigadier; both the brigadiers of cavalry were Queen's officers. In Ava, including Arracan, that is, in the BurmeSe war, five gene ral officers of the King's service were employed, and none of ours. In the army of the Indus Sir John Keane com mands, and the following general officers are employed in the command of divisions ;—Major. General Cotton ( Queen's), the Bengal Infantry ; Major- General Wilt shire, the Bombay Infantry ; Major- General Thackwell, the Bengal Cavalry division, his corps being at Martaban, while Nott, who is a Queen's Major, General, but a com pany's officer, is only a brigadier, and is left behind. The disgust which all this occasions is, I assure you, deeply felt. Memorials have been sent home about it. It is the most cruel blow, because the most degrading to the whole army, that has every been inflicted. The Horse Guards are, of course, delighted." Such letters as these, as has already been intimated, must force attention, but it is difficult to collect from them where the fault lies, whether in the Commander-in-Chief's office at home, or the board in Leadenhall. street. If publicity, however, is but freely given to them, it cannot long remain in doubt on what quarter the responsibility should fall.— Times. IMPORTATION OF APPLES.—The duty on apples from the Continent having about a year since bees reduced from 4s. per bushel to an ad valorem charge of five per cent. on the value of the cargo, immense quan tities have recently been shipped for the London market at every western French and Flemish pot, extending from Rouen to Ostend; and great quantities have been imported even from Holland. Of the kinds of fruit there are many ' varieties, but the chief importations consist of the corp-en dieu, the royal rennet, the malines, the mainotes the pe nang, and the grisette. The actual state of the home crop, however, is this season upon the whole very favour able, though in Kent and some other counties it was ge nerally apprehended that the growth was much below th, average crop, it being feared that this would be what is termed a blighting season. It now appears that in the vicinity of London the crop has not been surpassed i t quantity for some years; nay, in Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and other inland and western counties, there is unquestionably a very heavy supply. Considerable quantities of the early apples have already appeared in 11 e metropolitan markets, and at low prices; and it is qu'r, certain that the demand this year for the foreign apple will be very small compared with that of last season. GOSSIP ABOUT QUEEN VICTORIA..—IIi the course of the evening I found myself via a-vis in the quadrille to the Queen's most beautiful maid of honour. She is a daughter of Lord Rivers, rather tall, and com bining a roost majestic embonpoint of figure with a slight. ness of limb and a slenderness and stateliness of neck seldom seen in such graceful proportion. To the' 3001, a year which the maids of honour receive for dress, the Queen, my partner informed me, has added another hun dred, thinking the sum insufficient. You know, probably, that, on their marriage, they receive also a dowry of 1,000/. Then, there are the Ladies in Waiting, who are of the highest rank of nobility, and the Bedchamber Women, who receive also 3001. a year, and are generally ladies of good birth in reduced circumstances. These all take their turns of service for two months together. sly pretty and noble informant gave me these household statistics very good naturedly between pastorale and dos a dos ; and as she was closely connected with those who had the best opportunity of knowing, I asked her a question or two touching the personal qualities of her Majesty. She thought Victoria fancied herself very beautiful, " which she was not," and a very good horse woman, " which she was not decidedly," and that she was very i,npaaaent of a difference of opinion when in private with her ladies. She admitted, however, that she was generous, forgiving, and " cleverer than most girls of her age." When alone with two or three of her maids, she said, the Queen wai " no more like a Queen than anybody else," and was " very fond of a bit of fun or a bit of scan dal, or anything that would not have done if other people were present.—N. P. Willis in the Corsair. It is said a Member of Parliament has taken a house for six months in the island of Guernsey, to watch the proceedings in that island, and collect information for Government; it is added there is sufficient evidenee for the transfer of its judicial and administrative functions to "„schedule A."—Sherborne Journal.

I Li SIGNS ANT :SYMPTOMS OF GOOD MINDS' —The parts and si'g ns of goodness arc many. If a man be gracious and col; rteous to strang ers , it shows that he is a citizen of the world, an d t h at hi s heart is no island cut off from other lands, but a continent that joins to them. If he be compassiona to towards the afflictions of others, it shows that his heart: is like the noble tree that is wounded itself when it gives the balm. If he easily pardons a nd remits o ff ences, it AI Avs that his mind is p lanted above In juries, so that he ca nnot be hurt. If he be thankful for small benefits, it slit iws that he weighs teen's minds, and not their trash.—Ba con. HAMBURG MAIL. VIENNA, Ann. 3.—(From a Letter.)—We learn from an authentic source that news has been received here from London, to the effect that the opinion enter tained there is, that the four Powers must above all things insist that Russia, as a proof of its sincerity in the work of pacification in the East, shall allow the Porte to open the Dardanelles to the united fleets of England, France, and Austria, that is, in other words, to declare the Porte released from the Convention of Unkiar Skelessi, or, at least, sus pend its effects for the present. Nay, more, it is plainly saying, " The statu quo, which the Cabinet of St. James demands, is that which existed before the last war between Russia and Turkey, or at least before that between Egypt and Turkey ; in a word, at the time that Mehemet Pacha was still only Pacha of Egypt and Candia, and Russia not the Sovereign of the tottering Turkish Empire." Couriers were dispatched yesterday to St. Petersburg and Berlin, and to London and Paris. What views are entertained here in the upper regions it is not easy to guess. For then last ten days there has been much fluctuation in the prices of stocks, our own seem inclined to fall. MAGDEBURG, SEPT. 6.—A letter from Frankfort of the 3d Sept., in our Journal, says—" The Diet will sit again to-morrow. It is thought that it will not do anything in the affairs of Hanover for the present. The Hanoverian Government hope entirely to allay the ferment in the mind of the people of Hanover by a new Constitution, which is already under the considera tion of the Commission appointed for that purpose." EMDEN, SEPT. 6.—Our Journal has the following letter from the Main :—" August 30.—We hear that the Diet yesterday had the affairs of Hanover before it, and deliberated on a proposal of the Ambassador of Cassel (who lately voted with the majority for refus ing to receive the addresses presented) that a direct .application might be made from the Diet to the King of Hanover, requesting him to comply, of his own prO. per motion, with the wishes so unequivocally expressed by his subjects. It is believed that the proposal of the dignitary of Hesse Cassel will be adopted." CASSEL, SEPT. I .—Professor Jordan, in Masburg, who, as we lately stated, has been suspended in his professorship, and against whom legal proceedings have been instituted, was only confined to the walls of the town, has now been placed in the Castle, in which the criminal prison is. NUINDORFF, AUG. 30.—The agents of the States situated on the banks of the Weser, who were assem bled here, have closed their conference ; and the Com mission for the navigation of the Weser has so far at tained the object of its meeting, that the Hanoverian Government has declared itself ready to contribute a proportional share towards the expenses of improving the navigation of the Weser. But what has here been hitherto agreed upon is by no means adequate to obtain a satisfactory result. HAMBURG BORSEN HALLE, SEPT. 10. Bills. Money. Austrian 5 per Cents. Bank Shares An lo.

There is a great deal of mould, and many damaged bops.—The flea is committing serious ravages. Bright and really good samples will be scarce. The quantity varies much in different grounds, CRANBROOK.— The hop-picking in this neighbour hood commences partially this week, and next week ge nerally, being about vn days later than usual. The late winds have certainly caused considerable injury to exposed grounds. A good bright sample of hops, with out too much bleaching, may meet an acceptable buyer, notwithstanding the anticipated quantity. MAIDSTONE.—In Barmiog, Teston, Mereworth, Loose, and several other favourable localities, the mould has been making great ravages, the stems of the. hops being in many instances covered, so that every day pro duces more damage. The pickers have left this neigh bourhood in great numbers, and are crowding into Sussex, from whence the accounts are more favourable. —Kent Herald. FALKIRK SEPTEMBER TRYST. SHEEP.—The business at this important Tryst for sheep and cattle commenced on Monday. There was a good attendance of dealers, principally from the south. The supply of sheep on the grounds was inferior to former years ; a ❑umber were, however, purchased on the road before reaching the market. The sales com menced with the dawn on Monday, and wedders were all sold off at a rise of 10 per cent. above the prices ob tained at the September Tryst last year. Ewes were generally of inferior quality, were ill to dispose of, and sold a shade cheaper than last year, in consequence, it was allowed, of their having done so ill these two years past in the south. This rise in wedders, 'however, is not expected to be permanent, as it is understood that sheep are principally kept up till the October Tryst, in consequence of the turnip crop being abundant. The prices may be arranged as under :—Whitefaced Wethers, 275. to 335. ; Whitefaced Ewes, 20e. to 225. ; Black faced Wethers, 265. to 275.; BlackfaCed Ewes, 10s: to 16s. CATTLE.—The supply of west country cattle upon the ground was considerably below an average one, and three-year-old stots were sold at an advance of from 20s. to 30s, a head. One small lot from Skye brought IW. each. Two-year-old stots sold equally well in pro portion, but heifers were dull, and it was allowed that those disposed of were sold with the loss of their keep since last Dumbarton fair. A good number of them likewise remained unsold. The average prices for three year-olds were from 71. to 81., and two-year-olds from 21. to 61., according to quality.—Glasgow chronicle. 114., JI..W C THE . MARKETS.-(YESTERDAY.) PRICE OF BREAD.

The Reverend Doctor has since been lecturing in Elgin, where he made the following stateme„nt relative to the public men in favour of his scheme. He said he had taken every opportunity of impressing o °l minds of the Members of Parliament, holding fla dlca „„ opinions, the necessity of Church extensi as cow; pletely coinciding wiLh their own' views. He bad ha' an opportunity of convening with Lord Durham ' 3 : the subject ; and he was happy to be able to St at f that his Lordship's opinions were e x ac tly those ° church extensionists. Its the course of their convert' tion, his Lordship said, " I hold it to be as much th e duty of the State to provide for the religious instruction r of the people, as it is the duty of a father to provide f ° , l the education of his children." He had also Sir Edw ar Lytton Bulwer's opinion on the subject, which was, tt i t he considered the cause t o o C at h o li c to be allowed to suffer from party politics. The Doctor then read an extract frehe " Cobbett's Register," in whi c h th e p r i nc iples of a Cha c a Establishment are strongly supported. He said he inteale to have had an interview with Mr Cobbett when in Lon don, but on the very morn i ng on w hi c h he proposed , 1 91 ,. ing him, he received not i ce o f his death.
