SERGEANT MURPHY. M.P. _ Mr. Sergeant Murphy has yielded to the Repeal brawler: of Cork, who are now at liberty to look out fur a Member to their own hearts. The Southern Reporter—a thorough Re, pealer, << regrets" the Learned Sergeant did not follow his advice and remain in statu quo tilt the next general election. He adds:--" We have lost an excellent practical reprei•eb tativc—ene whose services were at all times at the dispo,:al of tis constituents, who gave universal satisfaction to this great commercial community, from his extensive knowledge of their interests whose political creed was extreme Radie,ll:" _ _ Theßeporter is evidently ashamed of the course pursued towards .air: Murphy. "We were," says that journal, opposed to coercion, because no honourable mind would yield to it. We deprecated the personal hostility by which some parties were influenced; and though we received a severe reproof on that occasion, from one whom we venerate and re:Tect, we still continue of opinion that our course was as jndic.ous as it was honest and patriotic." The following is the Learned Gentleman's address:— " TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF CORK. " Gentlemen,— You have been for some time aware that it is my intention to resign, before the next session, the repre-. sentation of your city. I deem it respectful to lay before you the reasons which have induced me to adopt this tehfses " It will be in yair recollection that, when I heist Solicited' the distinguished hopotir of being.ybar representative, many Objections were thane to int,; eligibilitY.

The flattering testinionials of approval which have beta tendered to hie by all seeti6ns of 7otit Community ' formed the best answer to these objections; and; as a Olin quence of this reactiOti ) a most kind feeling s kis sprung up and subsisted between us for same years. Believe Bib that the severance ef our political connexion will create no dimi nution of that feeling on My part. "It was impossible I could shut nly eyes to the probable effect of the Repeal moVettient oil tile heat elkittlOnt in Ire land. Having been elected your representative, notwith standing my declining to take the Repeal pledge at the outset of my political career, I had expeeted that your decision lb that regard tvotild have been pOsittotted until the next election: Had that been so, it would have been my duty •at all sacrifices to have remained your representative until the dltßolutitiii of this.

I will not affect to , deny that sacrifice I thus snake is a painful one, I had hoped that it might have been in My power, under the guidance of a more matured Parliamentary eXperience ; to ltaye redeemed ant ts Coat I cannot but consider as erlicie and ineflective. It may, however, happen that an alteration in your views, as as well as in my own individual circumstances, might induce me at some future time to ambition the distinction of a vat in Parliament.

Cain led off by planting a blow on the mug of his antagonist, who retaliated with equal courtesy. Cain gained the first knock-down blow and first blood. The men contested with determination for upwards of an hour, when Cain was de clared the victor, Chaffey being deaf to time. SOMERTON.— William Pinney, Esq., of Somerton house, with his usual liberality, has given up the whole of the rent due this year to him from the holders of his poor allotments, amounting to thirty in number, in consequence of the potato disease; and on Saturday last the whole of the .abourers on the estate had one guinea e: ch, in additio.. to an excellent suit of mourning, presesnted to them agree-. ably with the wish of his deceased father.— Sherhorne Journal. TRURO MONTHLY CATTLE MARKET.—This Mar ket was held on Wednesday last, but in consequence of the previous Summercourt fair, and the approaching Michell fair, there was a small attendance, and but little business was done.. The supply of cattle was less than usual, and the sale generally dull •, fat cattle sold from 455. to 50s. per cwt., cows and calves at high prices. There was a good supply of sliCep, but very few buyers; tellers were asking from 51d. to 6d per lb.—Penzance Gazette. WELLINGTON STATUE.—We are almost ashamed to state that this work a art has been again subjected to injuries, wilfully and recklessly committed by some person or persons as yet unknown. The bas reliefs on the pedestal have been defaced in a manner more serious than they were a few weeks ago, when we had to announce a similar outrage—several of the bayonets on the guns of the soldiers have been broken off; others hays been torn font the sides uf the kurcs, and the scabbard on one of the equestrian . figures has also been desti oyed, besides of her injuries of a ;ik , witure. This act of vandalism was perpetrated in the ceurs .of Friday night; but, so far as we have heard, no trace pf the offenders has yet been discovered.

When rain occurs early in •the season, its eflice may, frequently,- be almost e holly re medied ; but the year is now too far advanced to adroit us to hope that the mischief done in the present case can be repaired : the shortness of the days, the diminished power of the sue, and the heavy night dews, all tend to prevent that which has been thoroughly saturated with wet being easily th ied, except by artificial means ; the corn which Iran been exposed in the fields to the frequent heavy showers of the past figtnight (and the quantity is, we are sorry to learn, considerable) must therefige inevitably be carted in a damp state. In sonic localities, where there have been heavy floods, a portion will be entirely lost, and that part saved can seareely be expected to be in fit order for thrashwg for months to come. So fur, therearre, from any improvement havine. taken place in our prospects, there is reason to fear that the result of the liar vest—taking the kingdom collectively—will prove even more unfavourable than was before apprehended ; and there can no longer be any doubt that fine old wheat will become more valuable in proportion as it is found to be required for mixing with the damp. inferior qualities of new. That the quantity left over of last year's crop is trifling, is generally admitted ; whilst it is an undoubted fact that of free foreign very little remains in the country. It is true that we have about half a million of quarters of wheat in bond in the kingdom, and it is possible that somewhat about 100,000 quarters may arrive before winter puts a stop to shipments from the Baltic ; but even were the whole of this - quantity immediately released, we doubt whether it would have any material influence on prices. In the present posi tion of affairs it is not likely, however, that importers will enter for home consumption, as by leaving their property under lock, they will be in a position to take advantage of the fall which must, later in the year, occur in the duty. The trade in Wheat has, since our last, been active ; and not only has the previously established advance been main tained/ out a further rise in prices has taken place at many of the principal markets. Notwithstanding the inducement held out by the present remunerating rates, farmers have manifested vary little anxiety to part with their wheat, and the deliveri,s have rather fallen off than increased ; buyers have, on the other hand, &emed it prudent to make further addition to their stocks, and, at present, we can discover no symptoms of a re-action. At Liverpool, on Tuesday, the best dry qualities of new Wheat were readily placed at terms fully 3d. per 701bs. above those of that day sennight ; and old rose to about the same extent. Bonded parcels were sought after; but, in conse quence of the very high rates demanded, the actual transac tions were not extensive. On Friday the inclination to make investments was more general than m the early - part of the week; and for a parcel of ordinary red Baltic, in bond, is. per 701bs. was paid. The i'cp,rts from Leeds and Hull, of Tuesday, though of a decidedly firm character, are less animated than might have been anticipated, considering th,t quantity of rain which has recently fallen in Yorkshire. At neither of the places last named wore the millers willing to pay enhanced rates, and sellers declining to accept former prices, the ope-ations were comparatively unimportant; the case wile, however, different at Wakefield on Friday, the continued wet having created much tineftSina, , S for the outstanding portion of the crops. On the whole a fair amount of business was transacted there, and Wheat realised from Is. to 2s. per quarter more than on that day se'nnight. The advices from the western and north-western markets report a material rise in quotations. At Bristol, on Thursday, all kinds i f Wheat advanced Is. to 2s per quarter; and at lirmiugliam, on the same day, the enhancement amounted from 2s. to s per quarter. Letters from the last-named town inform us that a good deal of Wheat, a proportion of the Peas md Tares, and nearly the whole of the Beans, are still abroad in that neighbourhood. As already remarked, only moderate supplies have this week been brought forward by the growers; and at the ship iing ports on the east coast—from whence the growth of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, and Norfolk is dispatched to the chief consuming markets—the supplies have fallen some what short of the demand. At Spalding and Lynn, on Tuesday, the turn was decidedly in favour of the sealer; and at Boston. on Wednesday, the advance amounted to fully 2s. per quarter. - Our advices from Scotland speak very despondingly of the weather, and the progress made with harvest operations in that country. Even in the neighbourhrod of Edinburgh much of the corn, we are infirmed, is still in the fields; and in the backward localities, immense injury has, it is feared, been done by the heavy and constant rain ; as, however, the prospects in respect to quantity were previously very good, it was still hoped that—though the quality would be inferior—about an average produce would be secured. These remarks apply more particularly to Oats, the staple crop of the country ; Wheat appears there, as with us, to have , uffered from the want of warmth and excess of moisture during the summer months, and is therefore expected to be short in yield. There was considerable excitement in the grain trade at Edinburgh on Wednesday. Wheat was quoted 2s. per quarter, Bailey Is. to is. 6d., and Oats Is. to 2s. per quarter higher, with an adive demand for each. At Glasgow business was also lied) , on the day named, and the rise in price was quite as great at the last as at the first men- tioned town. - Ireland appears to have been visited with similar weatherto that experienced on this side of the Channel; and a good deal of injury is said to have been done in the later districts, not only to the corn remaining abroad, but also to the Potatoes. These reports, and the rise in the English markets, bad caused holders of grain to demand higher terms; and at the prin cipal markets, the value of Wheat and Oats had tended upwards, The arrivals Of Wheat coastwise into London have slightly increased; 6,785 Tinders having been reported up to this quarters the preceding ( w S e a e ttliti colnshire, the greater part of which has gone to the millers )co:gviedlitifinagtilleagparoinpsotrti6or o 6 f the supply is from Lin direct, From the home counties the show of samples at q bu il Y tafififetltilr i Mark-lane has been very small; indeed so trifling, that the d some difficulty. in securing the have experience Th f l -lfb . d Kellf; Atiti Suffolk stands, on Wednesday, were the Essex, . for present use. eew ots ex 1 Wednesday, we t reviously obtainable; whilst on easily placed at tottlei on the rates current in Friday a rise of ls. to 't.

A Cuatostm—An ordinary earthenware dish, pur • chased at the Cambrian pottery t in this town, about 16 months ago,by Williams, a tailor, residing in Goat-street, has excited a considerable portion of curiosity in the minds of some of our townspeople during the past week. It appears that a short time since a great number of small crystalized substances, having the appearance of flowers, or miniature mushrooms, were observed to grow out of the dish, breaking through the hard glazed surface. One or two of these grew to the extent of an inch, but were accidentally broken, Others are now budding forth, covering nearly the whole surface of the dish. The taste is very similar to that of common salt. The oldest and most experienced individuals engaged in the manufac tures of earthenware in this town do not remember witnessing such appearances on any previous occasion. A potter, who also keeps the Compass public-house in High-street, pur chased the article from the original owner for I/. 55., and has issued bills announcing it fur exhibition. The general im ' pression in the upper region of our town is, that it is a "be witched dish ;" but we opine that 'chemists, r_ en analrsation, would be able to account for these curious appearances, by the accidental presence of §oine chemical ingredient not usu ally found in the materials from which such articles are rnanu f actured.— Cambrian. Cnuacll 1101.3BERY.—Yesterday information was given at the London police stations that on Saturday night the parish church of Great WymondV, Hertfordshire, was .broken into and robbed of the communion service, consisting of a plain silver plated cup and a plate. A few days ago, George Hudson, Esq., M P., Chairman of the 'York and North Midland Rail way Company, gave a substAntial dinner to the servants of that establishment, amounting in number to 200-. including the mechanics in the locomotive and carriage shops, engine- drivers-stokers, switch n, porters, They sat down to dinner, at half-past six o'clock, in one of the large workshops appurtenant to the York station, which is 150 feet long, and 00 feet wide. The manner in which the health of Mr. Hudson was received evinced the esteem in which he is held by this numerous body of artizans. The most deafening cheers, renewed for several minutes, followed the toast. The other toasts we e also warmly applauded, and the evening's" entertainment pass d off in a meat agreeable manner. The party broke. up al , o t Owen o'clock, and repaired in good order to their re qe !five' homes, no little gr-atified - with the entertainment.— u.ickriand Times. Mr. Higham, Secretary and Comptroller-General to the Comodi4ioners tor the Reduction of the National Debt, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yester ' day, at his official residence in Downing-street. L Jocclyn transacted business at the Foreign-office on Monday. NO RTHEItN MEETING. Wedne.iday last was the clay announced as that on which the annual meeting of the nobility and gentry of the High !ands was to commence. Although several equipages arrived in town on that day, the amusements of the meeting did nut eminence till Thursday. A good deal of/tnxiety was felt lest the boisterous state of the weather should occa sion a thin attendance, and lessen the enjoyment of the games; but, notwithstanding the absence of several northern families, we Were glad to observe that the number present at the meeting was fully as large as usual. The games and sports of every kind were keenly con-. tested, and we do not remember tp have• seen -so- many competitors fur leaping at any previous meeting. There were suppers and balls on Thursday and Friday evenings —Colonel Baillie, of Redeastle, presiding on Thursday, and Mr. Grant, of Glenmorriston, on Friday. On either night there could not be less than one hundred and fifty who partook of the supper and refreshments, which were furnished by Mr. Grant, of the Caledonian and Union Hotels, in his usual very superior style. The mivic was tin der the superintendence of Mr. Lowe, and its excellence was duly appreciated. The ladies were, as usual, elegantly at tired, and amongst the gentlemen wearing the Highland dress were Lord Lovat, Lord Reidhaven, Glenmorriston, Mr. Mackintosh, of I)aviot, Mr. Mackintosh, jun., of Reigmore, Mr. Robertson, of Strowan, Mr. Robertson, Foveran, &c. &c. The Hon. Lewis Grant, and most of the officers present, ap peared in uniform, On Thursday the games took place on the Longman, com mencing at one o'clock, and ending shortly after four. With the exception of a shower at the commencement, the day kept favourable throughout. The scene of action was very animating. The crowd assembled on the occasion was large, and not a few carriages were drawn up outside the barrier. The unusual addition of several of the military belonging to the 87th regiment from Fort George, who came to try their prowess in leaping, excited much interest whilst this sport was going on. After a keen competition, the prizes for throwing the hammer, putting the stone, leaping, and tossing the caber, were awarded as follows Throwing the Heavy Hammer-161bs John Fraser. ship-carpenter, Inverness-Ist prize, 85 feet, 10 inches £4 4 0 William Macdonald, Tulioc•h-2d prize Light Hammer-121bs.

A gallery. was erected for the accommodation of the ladies, and it WiS filled from end to end with an array of all the beauty and fashion' at the meeting, and those comprising the elite of our town. In front was a platform for the pipers and dancers, and seats were ranged round for the gentlemen present and the judges. By two o'clock a large crowd had collected around the barrier. The pipers one by one poured forth their oul-stirring pibrochs, and were loudly cheered at the conclusion of the wild laments and martial airs. It was obvious, however, that these displays were pro longed to an extent that made the at ention flag. The day was bitter cold, and some parties amused them selves by testing their speed of foot in the park. Reels and dancing at length succeeded the pibrochs, and Oa stragglers soon joined the main body of on-lookers. Before the conclusion of the performances, at four o'clock, rain de scended in torrents. The judges were—Glenmoriston; Mr. Mackintosh, yr. of Mackintosh; General Gordon of Lochdu; and John Chisholm, Esq., Inverness, who, at the conclusion awarded the prizes as under : Pibrochs. Ist prize, a Set of Bagpipes, to Hugh Lindsay, Jura. 2nd ditto, an Elegant Silver Brooch, to Alex.

On Saturcray forenoon a numerous crowd again repaired to the Longman to enjoy the races. The day was tine, and every one seemed pleased with the appearances on every side. We regret, however, to state, that, owing to the roughness of part of the race-course, a fine horse, ridden by Captain Fraser, Fort George, sustained a compound fracture in one of his legs. Much regret was manifested in consequence of this untoward event. The horse was one of the finest on the ground, and decidedly the favourite. The racing was as keenly contested as were any of the previous games, and the scene was truly animating as the steeds and their riders swept over the course, greeted by the cheers of the congregated multitude.

They next marched past in slow and quick time, and Lord Downes expressed himself highly pleased h their discipline and soldier-like appearance. Ile subsequently saw the sergeants of the 83d perform the sword exercise at the Castle Barracks, and was gratified by the expert manner in which they went through this truly sol dier- like accomplishment. 95th Regiment—Major Gener4l Lord Downes, accom panied by Colonel St. John Clerke, on Tuesday, made his f+alf-yearly inspection at Tralee, of the depot of the 95th Re. giment, a very fine body of young men, The local com pany- of pensioners, under Captain Stokes, was also inspected by his Lordship. ILWAYS IN JAMAICA. (From the Jamaica Dispatch, Sept. 9 . • Although the prosrect which haa been opened to us of the general formation of railways throughout the island has been hailed with univer,al gratification. not merely on account Of the facilities to traffic and locomotion which they will confer, but in respect of the cmfidence which so large an iavestment of British capital in our soil shows to have sprung up among capitalis!s in England in the returning prosperity of Ja maica, the real and substantial benefits to be derived from these grand undertakings have not yet been considered or dreamed of by the great majority of our fellow-colonists. We leek to these undertakings as harbingers ( f a glorious day of improvement now dawning upon the gloom which has overspread these fine islands during a long night of ad versity and desolation. We anticipate from them increase of population, extended commerce, - increased productive ness, an enlarged field of indwary. We hope ere long to see by the aid of railways and of that capital which seems now to be flowing in a copious stream towards our shores a totally different system of estates' management. We hope to see that which has often been recommend e d and approved, but has hitherto been found impracticable from the difficulty of carriage, the manufacture of sugar separated altog,ther from the cultivation of it. The benefit of central manufac tories established on a large scale and maintained by wealthy companies requires only to be experienced in order to be universally admitted. • In all districts through which a ra il way shall be formed these central factories might be esta blished, and tram-roads laid at the expense of the company to each estate in its neighbourhood, by which, fOr a small charge per ton on the carriage, th e canes of each estate might be carried for manufacture. We need not tell the planter how much more cheaply sugar could be thus mane factured in large quantities than it is at present on the estate. This is no theory of ours. It has been tried and is at present, we believe, in operation in the island of Guadaloupe under the superintendence of a company raised in Paris. The title of the company so far' as we can learn is an " Association for the Manufacture of Sugar in the French Antilles ;" its capital is considerable, raised alto gether in France, but we cannot state with precision the terms upon which the produce is manufactured; that would be subject for arrangement according to the pecu liar locality of each manufactory. But the adv...ntages of this system would not be confined to the benefits which would be derived by the proprietors of sugar estates now in cultivation from the reduced cost of manufacturing their produce. It would create a new class among us—it would bring into cultivation lands which never yet have been thus employed—it would cause to emigrate to our shores hundreds of small capitalists, who could afford to purchase and culti vate their lots of 40 or .50 acres of canes, but who could not now so apply their means for want of expensive works. The production of the country might thus be doubled. In such a parish as - Were the establishment of a central factory on a large scale would, we should conceive, be most advantageous. The level tract of country under cane culti vation would enable trams to be laid to every estate in the parish, and the labour now employed in manufacturing the produce might be exclusively engaged in increasing the production. - The foregoing observations have been thrown out for the consideration of planters here and of capitalists at home, • among the latter of whom we have reason to believe the sub ject las already been in contemplation. If railroads did nothing else for us but this they would deserve our anxious support. TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. DIVIDENDS. Nov. 5. J.

The bazaar for the purpose of disposing of the articles remaining un3old at the termination cf the late ba - zaar in Covent•garden Theatre, and of a great number and variety of eentributions received since the clove of that lazaar from various parts of the kingdom, opens on Wednesday next, for six days, closing on the even ing- of Tuesday the 21st instant. The interior is now being converted into a Tudor- hall—say of the reign of Elizabeth and the time of Shalespeare—from designs by Grieve. The end well at the back of the platform represents an architectural screen and the vaulted roof of a hall beyond, which adds greatly to the apparent length of the hall. There are three arched entrances in the screen, and the arched .vestibule and other parts of the screen are covered with blue dra peries. The whole is richly decarated with the bands, scrolls, bosses, and medallion centre-pieces, which form the characteristic features of the Tudor style. A bold and rich design is repeated in compartments along the friezes of the clerestory. In the midst of each com partment is a central oval medallion, within which is a nymph-like figure ; on each side of this, the intervals being filled up with scroll.: and bands of various co lours, in the style of the period, is a squared medal lion, or panne], in each of which is a figure of a boy-child seated on a heap of cut corn, one figure being a reaper and the other a gleaner. The ceiling has had a warmer tint given to it, and round the ventilating apertures over the candelabra is an ornamental design, in harmony with the decorations already described. Over each of the pillars (which have been repainted and gilded) is a representative of a bronze statue, of a female draped figure. In addition to the usual lights, a rich octagonal Gothic lantern is to be suspended, midway in each of the spaces between the pillars. These lanterns are the same that were used at the bazaar at Covent-garden Theatre. A double range of stalls on each side the hall, in ser pentine form, will surround the pillars, containing ladies' work, fancy articles, and the countless articles of miscellaneous character that form the staple stock of bazaars ; a semicircular stall in front of the plat ' form, presided over by Mrs. Thomas Woolley and Mrs. Matley, wilt supply refreshments. A single range of stalls under the side galleries will contain the articles of curiosity and rota (amongst others many models and several collections of coins) ; and the platform will he wholly occupied by the pictures, water colour draw ings, engravings, &c., 171 in number, and valued at from 400/. to 500/. Amongst them is an oil painting represent ing Poesy, by Carlo Dolei, presented by Mr. J. B. Smith; a fine water-colour drawing portrait of Gains borough, by himself; photographic portraits of Mr. Cobden, Air. Bright, &c.; a number of portfolios of prints, views worked in silk, an autograph letter of Washington, a lock of Sir Walter Scott's hair, &c. Be tween the ranges of stalls the hall floor will be open for promenading, except in the centre, where a very beautifully designed fountain in bronze, cast by Messrs. Derby, of Celehrookdale, and presented by them to the League, will be erected, and made to throw its waters into miniature jets, &e. Amongst some of the most interesting models are two exhibiting a farm in East Lothian, presented by Mr. Henry Ashworth. One show.. every field and its crops, with the face of the country, and the position of the farm-steads, &e. The othee - exhibits the farm strad with its quad rangle of buil ings round the yard ; and by lifting oft the roof of the buildings, their interior arrangements are disclosed. Amongst the articles of rota is fine fac-simile of the celebrated Warwick Vase. We find it vain to attempt to notice even the most remarkable contributions in various departments ; and therefore will only add that the bazaar promises to be one full of tempting and attractive articles, and to be got up in every respect in that spirited style for which the League is renowned. A full band is to - in attendance daily; and the League have arranged n.. fora s}, - , eial . train from Newcastle, Shields, Durham, Sze., on Tuovi.- next, to return on the following Friday. o 7 Manchest er ttar...714 A KINGDOM FOR SALE. Our readers are probably aware that Denmark has been for some time hawking about her colony of Chris tianberg, on the coast of Guinea, fur sale. Finding no native willing to deal for it, the Danish Minister has actually offered it, so says report, to a City capitalist for 80,0001. A better way would be to put it up for auction. In fact, the Times has already, in its leader of Tuesday, suggested not only the auction, but the auctioneer. It is but fitting that Robins. who has sold many a kingdom in detail, should at last have an opportunity of selling one in the mass. In allusion to this subject, and on the supposition that other nations may be inclined to follow the example of Denmark, it says--" One almost envies Mr. &bins this new In ovince for Vs pen. After raking Vs pastime in the bucolic sphere cf parks and •villas, with what ee.stacy will he strike up his Paulo .'44:10, vanamus, and soar into the more congenial elen.-;...-za, principalities, and empires! Very soon he wiii fascinate the gloating eyes of the eapita:ist with Eligible Investment—A first-rate colony, on the coast of Madagascar, with a magnificent capital and numerous splendid cities, in the midst of luxuriant plains, studded with thriving . villages. The natives are peaceful, industrious, and attached to their rulers. The taxes, when the various colonial es- tablishments have been paid, leave a handsome surplus, sufficient fur the support of a sovereign, who may call hi.mself emperor or sultan with perfect propriety and safety. By-and-by an extensive empire, a snug prin cipality, a gem of a dukedom, a sweet little pashalic, may be procured on reasonable terms by any young gentleman who has imbibed a taste for good govern ment from the speculations of Plato, Fenelon, or Jeremy Bentham, and who is anxious to exchange an inglorious patrimony on the sedgy banks of the Bedford Level, or in the vulgar Three per Cents., for a place among the rulers of the earth and in the hearts of a grateful people. An estate in Yorkshire, that can boast of nothing but those odious common-places, a good rental, a substantial and commodious mansion, and 6 well•stocked manor, will look rather flat by the side of a property in the Isle of Madagascar, with sovereign rights and every description of civil and ecclesiastical supremacy. As for the styles and titles of honour, gorgeous, uncouth, and unintelli gible, the Lamaships and High Priesthoods, the genuine regalia, the ivory chairs, and peacocks' feathers, the ceremonies of homage, the infinite bowings, and toe kissings, and dust licking;, the harems, and all the other circumstances of royalty, we should soon lose ourselves in the att , nu t to anticipate t'ie unrivalled chief of the hammer." THE REGENT'S CANAL.—On Saturday morninabe whole of the neighbourhood of Agar-town, St. Pancras, was agitated by an event which gave rise to the mot lively feeling of apprehension. On the Friday preceding surveyors were observed busily occupied throughout the day in mea suring the meadow and footway beside the canal, which it was supposed was done under the instructions of the Com pany who have purchase' the interest of the shareholders of the Regent's Canal Company, 'I% ith a view to turn the site of the canal into a railroad. On Saturday, early, the canal was unaccountably exhausted of its waters, and a panic per, aded almost every inhabitant householder whose villa was laved by its grateful waters. Loud were the murmurs and com plaints. The mark of dissatisfaction was stamped on every face. After many searching inquiries into the real cause of his unexpected occurrence, it was at length discovered that the canal had been drained, in consequent e of a barge laden with cheese having foundered near Wood's wharf, which was after a few hours got up, when the locks were opened, and the canal assumed its wonted appearance, to the great com fort of the inhabitants.

CORIV-M3arintllTV The receipt of Wheat of home pro,loce fresh up to msrket • ' "• . were scanty and of but middling quality. For all descrip tions the demand was very steady, and Monday's advanced rates were freo3- supported. In fine Foreign Wheat a full average amount of business was transacted, and many holders would not sell except at more money. Wheat under lock commanded rather more money on specula!ion. For expolt no sales took place. Malting Barley was a firm inquiry at full prices. In other kinds very little was doing. The Malt trade was steady, and prices were well supported. The best parcels of Oats were the turn dearer. ODther kinds moved off slowly. Beans, Peas, and Flour were quite as dear. WI! ITECHAP EX. We had a fair average supply of Meat on sale. Generally speaking the demand ruled inactive at late ratee. Beef from 2s 4d to 35 Gd ; Mutton, 35 4d to 4s 6d ; Veal, 3s 8d to 4s 8d ; and Pork, 3s 10d to 55 4d per Blbs by the carcase.

They then took off Wileqn's goods to an inn, saying 'that the); had seized the goods under a distress warrant, and sent a man into the street, probably cue of the.garg, under pretene3 of crying a sale; but this was all a farce ; it was merely to deceive Wilson's neighbours, so as the men might get the booty away without exciting suspi cion. When they left Wilson's house, to keep Wilson's wife from giving alarm, they told her that if they found they had not sufficient, they should return and take more. But almost before the peaple could get to the place where the tale was stated to be held, it was found to be over, a man having pur chased the whole, and the delinquents, together with the goods, had dislppeared.—LcAs Med curry.
