LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING The arrival in our river a few minutes since of the British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Niagara, Captain Leitch, places us in possession of intelligence several days later from America than has been heretofore received in this country. The Niagara sailed from New York direct on the 24th ult., and brings over sixty passengers and 500,00 dolls, in specie. The railroad celebration at Boston had passed off with great eclat. Amongst the distinguished visitors present were Lord Elgin and President Fillmore. Ten Members of the Canadian Legislature were also present. From Havannah the dates are to the 17th of Sept. One hundred and thirty-eight American prisoners had been sent to Spain. Statements giving details of the late expedition had been published by the five prisoners who had been liberated and returned. Frcm Canada we learn that the several Government departments at Toronto had been instructed to:prepare to move to Quebec. From California, arrivals bring dates to the 15th August. Trade was then good, and the mining ac counts most favourable. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The condition of business generally in New York was not quite so favourable as at the last accounts, and money was decidedly more difficult to obtain. Stocks and secu rities were steady. Several very large dry goods jobbing houses at :New York have failed, and there was a great want of confidence exhibited in business oredits. The exportati as of specie has not diminished. The mra'ket for breadstuffs continued inactive, though prices had, undergone no depreciation. Western Canal Flour was. firm at 3 dolls. 87c. to 4 dolls. per barrel. Gennesse prime Wheat, 1 doll. to 1 doll. 2c. per 601bs. Indian Co :re, round yellow, 60e. to 62e. Indian Meal, 3 dolls. 12 to 3 dolls. 25c. per barrel.

LIVER POOL, SUNDAY EVENING,—The fine clipper ship Sword Fish, Captain Green, arrived in the Mer sey at a late hour this evening, with advices from Pernambuco to the 6th of September, 16 days later than thus e last received. Business continued ex tremely d. ull in all branches at Pernambuco. Sales are with, difficulty effected, and the recovery of money an arduous task. The business in sugar was to a small extent, sales being restricted for want of supplies.

FATAL ENGAGEMENT WITH PIELATES.—A dispatch from the Spitnish naval commander at the Philippine Islands, of the 6th of June, mentions a sharp combat between five Spanish feluccas, and four piratical vessels called pantos, manned by Moors, which were captured on the 3d of May, oft the Island of Paragua, being boarded by the Spaniards. The loss of the Moors is calculated at a hundred men. One of the Spanish feluccas blew up, occasioning a loss of about twenty men, and there were two officers and eleven soldiers and sailors killed, and one officer and sixteen soldiers and sailors wounded in the action. THE GREAT ORGAN FOR ST. GEORGE'S HALL.-- At the last meeting of the Town Council of Liverpool Mr. J. B. Lloyd stated that after the most mature consideration of the merits .3f various builders, and seeing the organ which Mr. Willis had produced for the Great Exhibition, and the novelties introduced into that instrument, the committee had come to the unanimous conclusion that Mr. Willis should be the person to whom the building of the organ for St. George's Hall should be entrusted. The organ in ques tion is intended to be larger than any other in the world, about twice the size of the famous one at Haarlem, and is intended to be furnished with at least 120 stops. We regret to learn that the Bishop of Bath and Wells is in. a precarious state of health. While some workmen were engaged in cleansing a stream called the Swillgate, at Tewkesbcry, a few days ago, they disc >vered a silver cup. When found it was as bright as now. It is conjectured that it must have been there for the last :WO years, as that time has elapsed since the river has been cleansed, which is now being done under the direc tion of tike Board of Health. AN ACCOMMODATING TRADESMAN.—An adver tisement of " Boots wanted for a respectable hotel," at Glasgow, produced the following reply from an enterprising Crispinitrb at Kilmarnock :—" Gentlemen, I have just seen an advertisement, and have to say that I am just your man, and I trust the bargain will be for both our benefits. At the sale of a man who brok lately, near haun this, I bought a hunder pair, and they are at your bidding for three shillings the pair a' o'er head. Your servant, J. T. N.B. I have also on hand about fifty pair o' shoon, if they are wanted."— North British Mail.

Several able speeches were made by gen tlemen resident in the locality, and resolutions warmly ex pressive of the sense the meeting entertained of his Lordship's long and consistent public career, and his many private virtues, were unanimously adopted. A vote of thanks was then passf:d to the Noble Chairman, at the close of which Mr. J. Williams, M.P., announced that he had presided over a meeting the previous day at St. Asaph, convened with the same view as that at Rhyl, and as he was about to head a deputation from the former place for the purpose of pre senting an address of congratulation to his Lordship, doubt less Lord John would receive both deputations at the same time.

His Lordship died in the year 1846, leaving two sons and one daughter, of whom the eldest son is the present William Henry Viscount Downe, and the second son is the Hon.

SEIZURE OP THE NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY FOR POOR-EATES.--We published last week a report of the pro ceedings of a special session held in St. Pancras, and the granting of a warrant of distress by the magistrate against the property of the London and North-Western Railway, for the amount of a poor -rate of upwards of 1,000/., alleged to be due from the North - Western Company to the vestry of St. Panc ras , for a po or - ra t e made on the 11` . 2d of March last. The warrant of distres3 was held over until Friday after noon, when Mr. Bedford, one of the parochial brokers, took formal possession of the Eust on station. The company im mediately replevied, and the disputed amount was deposited in the hands of the proper receiver in such cases for the Court of Queen's Bench, in which court it is understood legal proceedings will immediately take place to try the va lidity of the seizure, and the whole question at issue between the St. Pancras vestry and the North-Western Railway Company. WELCOME TO LOUIS KOSSUTII A SONG BY GERALD MASSEY, A WORKING NAN. Awake, each patriot sire and son, And join us heart and hand, To welcome freedom's glorious one Within our fatherland! He needs no proud triumphal arch, No banners on the wind, In hearts that beat his triumph-march See Kossnth's fitly shrined! We'll meet him here, we'll greet him here — In honour's arms we'd press him, And Kings have no such welcome dear, As Kossuth hath: God bless him ! He rose like freedom's morning -star, Where all was sad and dim— We saw his glory from afar, And fought in soul for him. We hail'd him brother 'mid the strife, And in his presence met — We'll show the world some noble life Lives in Old England yet! We'll meet him here, we'll greet him here— in honour's arms we ' ll press him! And Kings have no such welcome dear, As Kossuth hath: God bless him! His land was billow'd o'er with graves Of martyrs, not in vain: Lo! what a golden harvest waves Its fruit from that red rain! And yet his gleaming sword shall glare The despots' glory dim: And palsy strike the arm that dare Not strike a blow for him. We'll meet him here, we'll greet him here— In honour's arms we'll press him, And Kings have no such welcome dear, As Kossuth hath: God bless him Oct. 4, 1851. SPORTIN G INTELLIGEN CE.

Dr. M'Hale arrived in London yesterday, and it was not announced publicly that he intended to preach so soon after his arrival in the capital. He was accompanied by the Sheriff of London, Mr. Swift, of Hatton-garden, and ar rived at the chapel at ten o'clock in the state carriage. The sermon was taken from the 9th chapter of St. Luke, verses 27 and 28, and was delivered with that clear and distinct enunciation which is said by his enthusi astic admirers to be a great feature in the discourses of the luminary of the far west. At the conclusion of the service the Rev. Preacher left in the state carriage, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Kyne, of Duke-street Chapel, Lincoln's Inn fields. Although the sermon was not announced, the chapel was thronged to suffocation. FATAL COLLISION ON THE YOUR AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.—BURTON SALMON, SATURDAY.—Au inquest was held here to-day before C. Jewison, Esq., coroner, on view of the body of Thomas Gowland, a guard on the above line of railway, who was killed yesterday, a short distance from Burton Salmon station, near to the spot where the junction of the Great Northern Railway occurs. The deceased's death was caused by a collision between a coke ands goods train. The coke train, of which the deceased was guard, left York yesterday morning; and when it arrived at Burton Salmon it was overtaken by a short goods train from Milford Junction, which ran into a carriage behind the van of the coke train, in which van the deceased was, and forced it into the van, which was very much broken. The deceased fell out of the van on to the line, and was removed to the station, where he died about two hours afterwards, one of his arms and his body having been dreadfully crushed. After hearing all the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of accidentally killed. At the same time they con sidered that there had been some negligence on the part of the driver of the engine of the second train in not sounding his whistle on approaching the coke train, and they trusted that the melancholy result of this accident would prove a caution to railway officials generally for the future. THE LATE MURDER AND SUICIDE AT CAMBERWELL. On Saturday evening it was currently reported that Mary Ann Fawcett, who had survived the murderous attacks of her maniacal parent, had sunk and expired from the effects of the injuries received; but on inquiry it was ascertained that such reports were groundless, and that she is gradually recovering, but so slowly as to render it exceedingly doubt tul that she will be able to attend as a witness at the ad journed inquest, to be held on Wednesday next. During yesterday a great number of persons assembled in the Wyndham-road, contiguous to the scene of this fearful tragedy, many under the impression that the bodies would be interred in the afternoon, but the funeral, it is now un derstood, will not take place until after the close of the inquest. NARROW ESCAPE.—Yesterday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a young woman, who was crossing the St. Pancras-road, near King's-cross, as a gentleman was going along in his chaise, was knocked down by the horse and ran over. The gentleman instantly pulled up, and not withstanding the horse trampled on her, and the chaise passed over her arms, she escaped unhurt. CURIOUS DISCOVERY OF A. POST-OFFICE ROBBERY. —CIRENCESTER, SATURDAY.—A rather unusual instance of a detection of a robbery after a lapse of years has just taken place here, and the party charged as the offender is now in custody, and will, on the completion of the evidence, be committed for trial at the next Gloucestershire assizes. The circumstances, as they have transpired before the magis trates here, are as follow:—The prisoner, James Winslow, is the driver of a mail cart from this town to the Tetbury road station of the Great Western Railway, and was so in 1847. In the month of February in that year a 20/. note was enclosed in a letter, and posted in London for a Mrs. Harlock, at South Carney, Wilts, and would have to pass through the prisoner's hands. The letter never reached its intended destination, and, notwithstanding strict inquiries, the matter remained in mystery until recently. The note had been stopped payment (it was a Bank of England note), and had never been presented until the end of August. The prisoner was in London on the 15th of that month, having obtained leave of the Post-office authorities to go to town to see the Exhibition. In the evening of that day, in company with another man, he went to the shop of Mr: Bryant, an outfitter, of Aldgate, and purchased a waterproof coat and pair of leggings, tendering the 201. note in payment. When asked to sign his name at the back, he wrote" James Wil son" instead of his own signature, and when questioned sub sequently denied at first that he had made any such pur chase in London. On Mr. Bryant presenting the note at the Bank of England it was stopped. Mr. Bryant, when before the magistrates, deposed that to the best of his belief the prisoner was the man who purchased the articles in his shop and signed the name " John Wilson" on the back of the note. The person who accompanied him was not so stout, and said he was a farmer. Mr. Squires, the Cirencester i p n os w tm in a s s i t o e w r, ,s al h so an ex dw pr r e it s i s n e g. expressed his belief that the signature was LONDON DISTRICT LETTER CARRlERS.—Yester day the annual levee of this hardworking portion of officers connected with the public service was held at the General Post-office. The object of the meeting was the distribution of the several " walks" amongst the men, who, by the prac tice of this department, are allowed such periodical opportu nities of moving from their several districts, according to their seniority. In addition to the superintending president, there were also present Walter Robertson Sculthorpe, Esq., President; Henry Wilson, Esq.; and Messrs. Raw and Blurtoni the surveyors to the depart ment. The changes were not numerous, though not fewer than 700 officers were present, the men not being desirous of moving from their different districts, as the year has so far advanced. It was generally expected that some announce ment would have been made to the men with respect to the fact of ss. per week having been for some time past taken away from the seniors, but, no intimation was made upon the subject. A FEMALE FOUND IN THE RIVER THAMES.— A respectably dressed female, apparently about 30 years of age, was on Saturday night last, at high water, discovered floating on the surface of the water, near the lower Middlesex side of Waterloo-bridge. By inquiry it was ascertained that the name of the deceased is Warwick, the wife of a tradesman in the neighbourhood of Clare-market, and has been missing from home for several days past. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY EVENING, OCT. s.—The United States mail steamship Hermann, Captain J. D. Wil son, arrived here at five r.R. this afternoon from Bremen, having encountered very severe weather during her run from the Weser to Southampton. She will depart from Southamp ton for New York with the usual semi-weekly mails on Wed nesday next. REPRESENTATION OF EAST RETFORD.—The elec- tion for the Hundred of Basssetlaw, vacant by the retirement of Captain Duncombe, who will to-morrow be elected as the representative of the East Riding, is not, as was at first thought, likely to pass over without a contest. The Hon. W. E. Duncombe, who was early in the field under the Pro tectionist banner, was expected to walk over unopposed; but a feeling is alleged to exist among a portion of the con stituency that East Retford ought not to be a mere pocket borough, and Admiral Sir Charles Napier has therefore been invited to stand forward on the Liberal interest. It is be lieved that the gallant Admiral will accede to the call made upon him, and give to the electors in a few days a public declaration of his principles. FIRE AND Loss of LIFE IN HOUNDSDITCH.— Yesterday, about eleven o'clock, considerable confusion was paused amongst the inhabitants of Gravel-lane, Houndsditch, in consequence of violent screams, accompanied with cries of fire, proceeding from the house numbered 26 in that tho roughfare. Several of the neighbours immediately rushed into the premises, when on entering the first floor front they perceived a terrible scene, for in the middle of the room was the unfortunate occupant completely enveloped in flames. The necessary intelligence was promptly forwarded to Jeffrey-squa re B r i ga d e S tat i on f or assistance; during the time the firemen were arriving the neighbours kept pouring buckets of water up on th e prem i ses , w hi c h h a d t h e e ff ect o f preventing the building from being destroyed, but before the flames were subdued the unfortunate person was burned almost as black as a coal. Aledical aid was sent for, and on the arrival of a surgeon he pronounced life quite extinct. The deceased's name was Catharine Wolf, 78 years of age, and stone blind. ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.- On Saturday afternoon au accident happened on the South- Western Railway at Guildford. It appears that a man named Alder, employed as a tapler on the line, was doing something to the metals at the time a train of ballast trucks was moving out, and before he could get out of the way the wheels of the train passed over his left foot, and after cutting the toes off, they passed some distance up the leg. The poor fellow was picked up, blood gushing in streams from the injured limb. He was placed in a horse-box and conveyed to the Waterloo-road terminus, and from thence on a stretcher to St. Thomas's Hospital. The injuries the unfortunate man has received are of a such a serious character that his re covery is exceedingly doubtful. -- - GREATLY OBLIGED.—A learned German astrologer has ascertained that the earth will be destroyed by a comet in exactly twenty-two million years. The 'cute philosopher deserves the public thanks for postponing the event to so distant a day. MONDA LITERATURE. LAYS AND LEGENDS. VEINING OCTOBER 6 2 1851. By G. W. 2 'hor latury, Saunders and Oiley. There is something gallant in the !merle g of the young adventurer in search of fame who, in t he person of Mr. G. W. Thornbury, has just entered th e lists of literature. Like the more dauntless am ang the knights of old, he scorns the shelter of cone* alment, and advances to the tourney with a raised vim r. He scorns the protection of the anonymous, and both in his preface and introductory chapters, assumes an atti tude towards his critics such as must corm= id their respect, if it does not actually propitiate their admira tion. Speaking to them, not in the language of poor John Keats, "There is no fiercer hell tt an the failure in a great object," he says, ,cheerily enough, in his own blunt, homel y way, " Repulse is not a rout, and a ba book I may replace by a Letter." We like this spirit of candour and confidence, it breathes the vita li.ty of an elastic temperament, and promises larg e future meed of success to its possessor. Yet, o at young author is not without great hopes in reg led to his present, and, we conceive, maiden effusion ; other wise, of course, he would never have evin e scl teme rity enough to superintend their pu bi'ications. Conscious of more than ordinary power within himself, he flings the gauntlet of defiance e not so much at the feet of the surlier class of res ie.wers es in the very teeth of those generally dreaded ,curmud geons. With a fine and solemn dignity he . reminds them of the famous words of Milton- —"Unless wariness be used, as good almost kill a ma n as kill a good book ; who kills a man kills a reasonabl e creature —God's image ; but he who destroys a g pod book kills reason itself, the image of God, as it were, in the eye." Th en , c h ang i ng hi s m an n er froi nthat of mejestic warni ng , M r . Thornbury turns from the frowns of his i mag i ne d an t ag onists with a gay laugh of contempt such as cannot fail to disarm tlai ir malice, while it infuriates their indignation. 01 LC author claims for himself, at the very outset of his perform ance, the merit at least of originality, insi: ling that he is the " first o p ener o f the entrenchment e the first digger in this mental California"—for tl e second title of his volume, " Ballads of the New V Told," has already indicated its purport. Without quest 'toning the accuracy of his asserted priority, it must be admitted at onc, that if not exactly the very first i 11. point of time, he is unquestionably the very first in :regard to the magnitude and daring of his enterprise. Within the present volume he has comprited " lays and legends," illustrative of the history of the conquest of the western hemisphere, from the earliest voyage of Columbus down to the assassination of Pizarro, selecting with the true appreciation of a poet those incidents w'ti ich most forcibly appeal to the popular sensibiliti.e s and the popular imagination. What, for example, could be more singularly calculated to arrest the a a ention of the reader, or to influence his emotions, b: r their pa thetic significance, than the subjects chosen i n the bal lads relating reapectively to "Columbus in C ;pains," to the " Tears of Cortes," and to the " Desc , nt of the Volcano," the first a terrible example of tiai 3 ingrati tude of the Spanish ea gorernment towards the dis coverer of a fourth' continent; the eecond a thrilling account of the sensibility displayed by the set Lnquisher of Mexico when he looked down for the ,first time upon the go ld en c it y o f the Montezumas ; and th e third an appalling illustration of the ind omitable valour revealed by the followers of Cortes „ men so hardy and dauntless as to descend like Francisco Montano into the flaming crater of a volcan a, lowered down 400 feet in a basket for the purpose of collecting a quantity of sulphur sufficient for the manufacture of the necessary amount of gunpowder ! Havin .g selected his subjects thus admirably, Mr. Thorn bury has next endeavoured to treat them in a proper strain of enthusiasm, arriving at that Tyrtean passion which is alone befitting the lofty office of a ballad wi:iter. In this endeavour, moreover, it must be avow e d forth with that in several instances he has achieved a ge nuine success. Unluckily for him, it is true he had been preceded by Mr. Macaulay, and Mr. Macaulay again had already been followed by Mr. Aytoun, :e circum stance which we are induced to regret some what in the same way that, as admirers of Emerso a., we are almost sorry that his works had been pre ceded by the ;works of Thomas Carlyle. With et cur sory resemblance, however, here and there to the " Lays of Ancient Rome," the " Lays and Legends" of Mr. Thornbury possess elsewh are a ma fest originality. For our own part, as liking him, we should much have preferred his being somewhat less of a plagiarist, though his plagiarisms are can didly and courageously indicated by himself in foot- . notes. We would rather, for instance, have listened to phrases of his own than to one of Keats at page 29, or to one of Macaulay at page 48. Especially when it is remembered that he can write himself as admirably as he has .written in the first lay, that descriptive of the voyage of Columbus. Occasionally the epithets are false, as value (p. 14) " the brown sea beach" is spoken of ; Coleridge, advised by Wordsworth, having already, in his " Anciente Marinere," talked more truly about the " yellow " of " the ribbed sea sand." Again, also, we encounter such common-places of language AS that occurring in the line— " Down went the sun in the fiery west with just such frantic glee." It is unfortunate likewise to meet with such a phrase as " the grey old sun." But finer verses repay us abundantly for all this, such verses as those wherein, alluding to the infuriated sailors in the expedition of discovery, Mr. Thornbury exclaims simply but aw fully— _ _ _ " Lust in the flood of deep despair, those weak and coward men Bad heeded not if the mighty God from the sky had spoken then." The subjoined passage, moreover, is really admirable of its kind, as an enumeration of the signs of ap proaching success and felicity which were strewn over the deep as Columbus advanced farther and further across the Atlantic : " Still from the prow Columbus gazed at the cross in the pale, clear sky, And smiles as he points to the gathering weed that slowly drifteth by. And many a dolphin swirometh past, king of the western sea, Whose robe is rich with the sparkling dyes, a rich-clad prince is he. And the flying fish, that like a bird soars from bis coral bough, Who dives as deep as ho can fly, beneath the white reef's brow. And with the morn the wind sinks down, and birds on the rigging rest, They seem belated wanderers from some land in the dis tant west. For these resting-birds are no white-winged mews, no flitterers o'er the main, But such as follows the husbandman, that sows the golden grain." Sometimes he contrives to throw an astonishing vigour into a plain and homely phrase enough, as where speaking of the amazement with which the mariners saw the land before them at daybreak, he likens them to " Men awaken'd from a dream by the shake of a hasty hand." In the " Battle of Tobasco," he has celebrated that first triumph of the arms of Cortes which seemed to foreshadow the glory of all his subsequent achieve ments. Very different, of course, in its tone, is the ballad dedicated to the memorable Nocte Triste, or " Sorrowful Night," when the Spanish army pre pared to leave the golden city of the west, as it ap peared to them, at the moment, for ever—the step looking altogether irretrievable. As is very forcibly observed in the note prefixed to the ballad, the event just alluded to was only retrieved by the "wonderful resources of the mind" of Cortes, "by his constancy and his indomitable genius." Alluding afterwards to the dreadful vengeance ultimately wreaked by the re-conquering Spaniards on their an tagonists, it is remarked with no less emphasis of ai l t o no secure terr r language—" It was a day of terrible retributi on — o f ' garments rolled in blood'—of confused sound o f th e battle, and the empire of Mexico fell like a C o l ossus —never to rise again. There is a min g li ng of horror and grandeur in the lay devoted to the account o f th e " Murder of Pizarro" such as cannotthe breathless regard, and after perusal to and elicit the earnest admiration of the reader. Here is the clos e of the tragic incident, nobly depicted :-- " Aghast in stlo d o i k un P a iz y arro's feasting friends, f They left the half-drained wine-cup, and hurried them away. ' Bar the door, good Garoia, bar out the rogues' array, Like two chafed lions in our den, we'll k eep t h e knaves A T Too a l t a t h t oe—bay.' nme tumble n heart th bloodeb lbleeding drinking ing h ody thrust,marb l eone h m a e i t l cleaving blow, below.Theyrus h up stairs with pike and o s o u t c h h , words of scorn As hod greeted their ears from the vi cer oy ' s ay! but that very morn. But their shout of joy is turned to rage, for throe men keep the door,', They stood like the eager hunters that would spear the foaming boar. Then Pizarro rushed to aid the guard, in their face his helm he hurled: What ho!' he cried, ' ye atabbers, scum of the new found world. Then by his side old Sanchez fell, but no time was that to weep; No time for thoughts of anguish, no place for sorrow deep. But still was left fair Pedro, the youngest of the three; A thrust from the blade of a partisan has brought him to his knee. And the blood that welled from Sanchez' wound fell on the dying child; Then fierce glared old Pizarro, and his fiery eye glared wild, And his sword cleaved helm and co ralet, and his sword cleaved mail and targo— In vain on his breast the arrows splint, in vain the rebels charge. And bravely fought Pizarro, though his liatbs were stiff with age, As well as when in the pride of years he fought by the fair Adage." And he struggled on, that grey haired man, though the blows fell thick as rain, As well as he did when he bore the Cross on Cusco's golden plain. • Down with the savage,' Reda cries, ' shall a greybeard drive us off ? Oh! that, indeed, for the Chili men, were a sharp and biting scoff.' Then, with a howl of baffled rage, he grasps Alverrez round, And hurls him at Pizarro, and brings him to the ground. Like a stone from the sling of a peasant boy, half stunned, Alverrez flier, In vain, Pizarro strikes him down; in vain, the rebel dies. ' He dies too late,' cries Reda, and drives through his heart the sword, Ere Pizarro sank a dozen blades drank the life-blood of their lord. Jesu,' he groans, and makes a cross on the blood be dabbled floor; He bends to kiss the holy sign —one groan, and all is o'er. Shout, for the tyrant's fallen—Pizarro, the lord, is dead, And now the Viceroy's jewelled badge shall deck Al magro's head.' They sheath their swords, but ere they part, one glance they give again At the body of him who's fallen, at the mighty one they've slain. And now the robbers pillage the casket and the shrine, And bear away the Inca's gold from many a treasure mine." Another excellent example of the power of Mr. Thornbury is furnished in his ballad of " The death of Carbajal," a ballad preceded by this very curious note : "Francisco de Carbajal, a brave but cruel old warrior, 84 years of age, was executed at the same time with Gonzalo Pizarro, with whom he,had conspired to change Peru from a viceroyalty to a monarchy independent of Spain. In the decline of their fortunes this stern, iron hearted man, said nothing, but bummed the words of a Spanish song:— "' The wind blows the hairs off my head, mother.' When they told him of his doom, he said, calmly, Basta mater'—' They can but kill me.' In prison he bantered those who came to mock at the Samson in bonds. To a cavalier, who offered him assistance, he replied, What service can you do me ? Nothing is of use, if you can't set me free, If I spared your life, as you say, I did it because I thought it not worth taking.' To the priests who came to absolve his soul, blackened and encrusted with sin, ho said, ' I have nothing on my conscience but a debt of half a real to a shopkeeper of Seville.' He was drawn to the scaffold in a basket drawn by mules. As they forced his pinioned body in, be exclaimed, Cradles for the young and cra dles for the old!' When the priest implored him to re peat the Ave Maria and Pater nester,' he merely re peated the words, Ave Maria, Pater nester.' He died,' says Prascott, with a scoff on his lips.' Of such metal were the conquerors of Peru." As a second portion of "Lays and Legends" we have, towards the close of the volume, a variety of ballads, occasional poems, and translations of a very miscel laneous character. Foremost among these is the famous "Diver" of Schiller, which our author has not been daunted from attempting even after the brilliant version from the hand of Sir Bulwer Lytton. Beautiful, very beauiful, indeed, is the charming little " Ritornel," from the German of Riiekert, that ritornel in which occurs the following : " 0, Lily, fair and white, The garden flowers are lauding their Creator; Thou art their priest clothed in thy robe of light. Thy stalk is like a wand: Thou hast a name among thy sister flowers, God's angels bear thee in their hand." Spirited, too, as the sound of the old mill, to the music of which it seems written, is the " Miller's Song," beginning— " Hey! for the stone that crushes, Ho! for the whirling sail, When the old mill shakes in every plank Like a vessel in a gale. Hey 1 for the blast that driveth The ponderous mill-wheel round, When of the snow-storm showering, We hear the mellow sound." "The Woodman's Song," which follows, com mencing— " In the bright May time, in the youug spring's prime, The axe he layeth by; When the birds sing gay the livelong day, To hail the summer nigh; But the woods ring out to his merry shout When the leaf is off the tree, When the tempest clouds the forests shroud, A merry man is he," would be more acceptable if it bore not so striking a resemblance, both in manner, rhythm, and versifica tion, to that song of Bailey's occurring in his " Festus"— " Oh! the wee green neuk, the sly green neuk, The wee sly neuk for me! Where the wheat is wavin' bright and brown, And the wind is fresh and free. Whare I weave wild weeds, and out o' reeds Kerve whissles as I lay; And a deuce low voice is marmurin' by Through the lee-lang simmer day. Oh! the wee green neuk, &c." Enough has already been said by us, however, in evidence of the distinguished merit apparent in the volume of poetry just given to the world by Mr. Thornbury, a volume which we can venture to com mend in spite of the blemishes we have alluded to, above all, in defiance of a rather ill-considered scrap of eccentricity and vulgarity prefixed in italics to the " Introductory chapter." We have recognised in the young author, who has here stepped into the arena of letters, capacities sufficiently large and comprehen - swe to secure for himself by their development a very general admiration. • Pizarro served in Italy in his youth. ZADKIEL'S ALMANAC for 1852. The indefatigable seer, Zadkiel, has issued thus early his almanac for the ensuing year, in which there is of c ourse a cons i derable amount of vaticina tion. Thus we find inter alia—"lu France this great eclipse (of the 28th July last) will bring about great changes in the Government and laws ; and I look for the entire overthrow of the present state of things in that country so soon as this eclipse begins to operate next spring. Indeed, some serious affrays may there be looked for early in November this year, 1851. and again the latter part of January, 1852. But April and May, 1852, will be a period of fearful excitement, and turmoil and slaughter in that devoted land," coupled with which occur the following under the heads of April and July, 1852 :—" A lamentable scene may be expected—a struggle to the death for dominion at the election for President, and Louis Napoleon may now say, Adieu to all my great ness ;' " and " some singular changes are now (July) taking place in France, where the people wheel round more suddenly than is even usual in that fickle nation. I judge they get the state car into the old track of monarchy once more." Well, nous verrons. It is singular that several of Zadkiel's important predictions have been verified in the present year; for instance, the ravages of cholera in the West Indies, the civil war in China, the home political troubles arising out of " a Church Ques tion," the military insurrection in Portugal, the re newal of hostilities at the Cape, &c. What are we to think of all this ? " The Magic Crystal," for his former revelations concerning which Zadkiel was some time since coarsely and clumsily abused in a certain celebrated weekly periodical, is again brought on the lapis. All we can say on the subject is, that he certainly is no impostor, for he manifestly has full faith in this extraordinary species of divination. There is also a learned paper on Egyptian and Orien tal Astronomy, and some observations on Astro- Meteorology, well worthy consideration. He holds the temperature to be mainly affected by the aspects (principally, we take it, the solar ones) of the supe rior planets, viz., Mars and Jupiter for the rise, and Saturn and Uranus for the fall. There is altogether a aixpennyworth of very curious matter in this alma nac, which, moreover, contains a carefully prepared calendar and the usual tables. PENNY MAPS. Chapman and Hall. The fifteenth part of this most useful and cheap publication lies before us, comprising the World on Mercator's Projection, and the Perspective Projection of the World on the Horizon of London, in two maps, one of either hemisphere. THE 0 WENS' COLLEGE, MANCHESTER.—Professor A. J. Scott, M.A., Principal of Owens' College, Manchester (and late of University College, London), d e li vere d his in augural address upon entering upo n hi s d ut i es at the new institution on Friday. Mr. Scott was prevented by illness from being present at the opening of the preliminary session of the college in May, and his addres s was postponed in con sequence till the opening , of the p resent, f i rst regular, session of the institution. The proceedings on this occasion took place in the town-hall, the mayor presiding, and amongst the principal persons present were—the Lord Bishop of Man chester, Mr. J. Heywood, M.P. ; the Rev. Hugh Stowell, Dr. Vaughan, Principal of the Lancashire Independent Col lege ; Dr. Halley, Independent minister ; the Rev. J. J. Tayler, M.A., Unitarian minister; and some of the leading merchants of the town. It will be known by some of our readers, though, perhaps, not to all, that the college was founded by the late Mr. John Owens, a Manchester mer chant, who, after providing for his relatives, left the residue of his estate (100,0001.) to establish a college on the prin ciple of the nati ona l un i vers i t i es in Manchester, but without any religious te s t o f a d m i ss i on. P rofessor Scott having been called upon by th e c h a i rman, delivered an e l oquen t and lengthy address, whi c h was l ou dl y app l au d e d. The Bishop of Manchester, Dr. Vaughan, and other gentlemen after wards addressed the meeting, and it closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. Dispatches were Rent off from the Colonial•cffice on Saturday for the Governor of Van Diemen's Land. THE E he pEre°paYraAtiZons-r t3rite receptionl'ofcoflUslt7y: the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert at Worsley, Salford, and Manchester have now made great progress and. meet the eye in every direction. The Royal party sected to reach the Patricroft station of the Liverpool and Manchester line on the 9th inst., en route from Liverpool, between four and five o'clock in the eveni Thence her M a j es ty w ill pass through a long anzi ng. elegantly drap er i e d corr i dor on the left side of the line to a semicircular pavilion p across the on the right bank of the Bridge water -canal. Elegant barges will be in waiting under the am le canopy stretching from_the front of this buildi ng canal, in which the Royal party, attended by the Earl of Ellesmere, will embark and proceed to the front of Worsley-h a ll. Th e d e b ar k a ti on wi ll b e under a hand some pagoda-lik e b u ildi ng erected for th e purpose, and carriages will th ere b e i n waiting for the Royal visitors to convey them through the grounds to th e mansion of th e E ar l o f Ell esmere. Th e brpgeeunder which the R o y a l v i s it ors w ill h ave to pass toll 7 orsley are in cours e o . f decorati on , an d ever thi ng assuming a new and gay appearance. On Friday morning, the 10th inst., her Most Gracious Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, with th e R oya l suite, leave Worsley-hall for Manchester at ten o' c l oc k . I t i s impossible to detail the numerous preparations on the road for gratif3ing the public with a good view of the cortege. Trium phal azthes, stages, &c., are rising up everywhere, and public bodies, numbering more than 20,000 people, inde - pendent of the indiscriminate crowds who may be exr2ected to find their way to the fields on either side the road, are expected to take up positions on the route. At Pendleton a magnificent triumphal arch will stretch across a road 30 yards wide, and a mile farther on, near the entrance to Salford, another arch of similar character is erecting. The semi.octagonal building, in front of which the authorities of Salford are to receive her Majesty in Peel-park, is now erected and receiving its decora tions. It is a large, elegant, and lofty building, open at the front, with an awning stretching over a car riage way, along which the Royal carriage will be driven, so that her Majesty can receive the address without alighting. Opposite this pavilion, in the open park, an immense circular platform, 600 feet long and 75 feet deep, rising like an amphitheatre from the greensward which lines the carriage road, will accommodate the Sunday -school children —about 80,000 in number--who are to be there to salute the Royal party with the National Anthem. The immense platform is nearly complete. From the Peel-park, through Salford and Man chester, the route will apparently be lined with stages and other temporary erections wherever the nature of the ground and buildings will permit. The owners of many of the lower buildings are covering the roofs of them with platform accommoda tion, and gay banners are already fluttering in the breeze from many windows. Triumphal arches are rising on the Victoria-bridge, by which the Queen enters, and on the Albert-bridge, by which she leaves the town. In the middle of St. Ann's-square a similar erection is rising, and some of the railway bridges which cross the route are in course of deco rating. On one of them is inscribed the words " Welcome to the Queen." Her Majesty is expected to return to Worsley early in the afternoon. More than 270 persons have applied for gas for public illuminations in the evening. The proceedings are to terminate with a public ball at the Manchester Ex change on the following Monday. Her Majesty will leave Worsley Hall on Saturday, the 11th inst., for London. Mr. Weston, and a deputation from singing classes under his direction, have volunteered to enter tain her Majesty on Saturday morning, at Worsley hall, with a vocal matinale--the pieces to consist of Balfe's "Lo, the early beam of morning ;" Miss Flower's chorale, "Now pray we for our country," and the National Anthem, with harp accompaniments and bells. ANIMAL MAGNETISM: A series of extraordinary and most interesting ex periments in the above mysterious science were exhi bited to a select audience on Thursday evening in Hungerford Hall. The operators' name is Monsieur Lassaigne, and the person operated upon a Madlle. Prudence, both we believe of Parisian celebrity. The control he has over her while in a state of somnam bulism is remarkable, his every thought and wish being immediately understood and acted upon, indeed, for about two hours she is completely subservient to aim, not having seemingly the slightest will of her own, and he exercising over her a kind of fascination. A few of the experiments may be related :—To show that a person in a state of somnambulism has an infla ence. on the magnetic needle, the lady when awake it varied than, applied her head to a common mariner's compass placed on the table, without influencing it in the least, s o e n ve a r g al ai p n oin no sooner, .however, was she thrown into a state of ts applying foli wheinrgheeavde every motion as if acted upon by a magnet ' . If a gentleman or lady i f ac her . to. perform any action, they have somnambulism n n a e m ed b le u , ii i merely to whisper it in the ear of Monsieur, and di rectly she gets up and does th a t requ i red of her, whe ther it be to dance, sing, lau g h, or cry. On a glass of water being put into her hand by a gentleman present, the other being taken by him, and if he firmly in his mind wishes tier to fancy it rum, whisky, castor or cod liver oil, she no sooner tastes it than she says it is the liquor he wishes her to believe it t o b e , by a kind o f " t ransm i ss i on o f th oug ht," to us a mys tery. One g en tl eman w i s h e d h er to fancy i t ink, a n d after tasting it sh e , w ith a li t tl e hesitation, in cm:no quence of his mi n d h av i ng s li g h t l y wandered, did pronounce it ink, and exhibited on her countenance all the symptoms of having taken something nauseous. By a species of second sight more wonderful than that of Madame Robin, she was enabled to play several games of cards with various parties, and invariably came off the winner, albeit her eyes were bandaged and a thick shawl thrown over all. The concluding experiment of the soirée was that Mons. Lassaigne would awaken her either in pain or grief. A medical gentleman present requested that she might be awakened laughing, and after a few passes by the fas cinating hand of the operator she came to a state of consciousness laughing most heartily. It is but fair to Mone. Lassaigne and Madlle. Pru dence to say that, although many of those present were sceptics, and although they eagerly enough watched to detect anything in the shape of collusion, they could not discover anything of the sort —every thing was done fairly and aboveboard. Without entering into the merits or demerits of the science, the experiments of Thursday night must have had a ten dency to create a sort of belief in it. At all events they were exceedingly interesting, and at the conclu sion both the lady and gentleman were very warmly applauded by the assembled company. THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. (From the Observer.) The official returns of the quarter's revenue will made up on Friday evening next, the 10th instant. Although not yet quite complete, enough is known to enable us to state that the returns for the current quarter will continue to present a most favourable result. In spite of all the remissions of taxation, the pre sent quarter will show an increase over the corre sponding quarter of last year. With such a greatly diminished expenditure as the late reductions have produced, the surplus revenue from receipts, which, notwithsta n di ng a ll re d uct i ons, still keep up heir actual amount, promises to be even greater in the next financial year than it has been in the year 1850 or 1851. There will be a falling off in the stamps of about 100,0001., which is less than the loss calculated on the reduction of stamp duties, and which the Chancellor of the Exchequer estimated at 500,0001. a year. There will also be a very small comparative defi ciehcy in the item of taxes. All the other items are good, and will more than cover the deficiency above stated. The Customs will show an actual increase over the October quarter of last year, amounting to something near 50,0001., notwithstanding the reductions that have come into operation during the year in the im port duties upon sugar, coffee, timber, &c. ; and that, in the quarter just ended, the is. per quarter duty upon corn yielded less than usual. The Excise, too, is eminently satisfactory, and will show an increase of about the same amount as the Customs. This is even a greater test than fhe other. Some of the now abolished brick duties were collected in the October quarter of last year. The increase is chiefly observable in those articles the consumption of which betokens a substantial accession to the comforts of our working population. The property and income-tax is also better, and indicates a complete recovery from the falling -off ob servable in the last quarter. The Post-office, too, will show a considerable and substantial increase. In fine, the finances of the country are in a most favourable and prosperous condition in all their features. The returns of the Board of Trade, which were issued on Saturday, are equally_ satisfactory and con clusive. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. On Saturday the receipts at the doors amounted to 2,8621. 145., the number of visitors being 29,640. The excitement connected with the closing increases, but the authorities do not seem to be apprehensive of any extraordinary pressure from without. During the last two days the return of many persons of dis tinction more or less connected with the Exhibition has been noticed, and among them Lord Granville, Vice-Chairman of the Royal Commission. The desire to take a farewell survey of the Crystal Palace mani fests itself more strongly every day, and even the habitués of the place yield to its influence. Amidst that marvellous collection of objects new and striking features of interest constantly reward the efforts of patient inquiry. Even now fresh arrivals take place the last acquisition of high merit that we have noticed being the bust of a negro girl, executed in bronze, with surpassing spirit and fidelity to nature. We earnestly recommend all lovers of art to see this really wonderful production, which they will fi n d placed at the entrance t o the Sevres Room. ARCTIC SEARCHING EXPEDITIONS. We have been favoured by the Admiralty with the following letters on this subject, in addition to those which appeared on Saturday : " Her Majesty's ship Resolute, off the Winter Quarters of Captain Penny's Expedition, Aug. 11, 1851. " Sir,—Having this day most unexpectedly reached your winter quarters, and also having had the satis faction of a personal communication with you, I now beg leave to acquaint you, that having maturely con sidered the directions and extent of the search (with out success) that has been made by the expedition under my charge, and weighed the opinions of the officers when at their extremes, I have arrived at the conclusion that the expedition under Sir John Frank lin did not prosecute the object of its mission to the southward and westward of Wellington Straits. " Under these circumstances I now await your re ply to my letter transmitted herewith, in order that I may make known to you, at the earliest moment, the plans for the future movements of this expedi tion.—l have, &c., " _ " lionAno T. A USTIN , C ap t a i n, & c. Captain William Penny, her Majesty's brig Lady Franklin, and in charge of an expedition searching for the expedition under Sir John Franklin." AN EASY REMEDY.—The attendant of Matthews in his last illness intended to give his patient some medicine ; but a few moments afterwards it was found that the medi cine was nothing but ink, which had been taken from the phial by mistake, and his friend exclaimed, " Good heavens, Matthews, I have gi ven y ou ink!" " N ever mind, my boy —never mind," said Matthews, faintly, " I'll swallow a bit of blotting-paper." DEATH OF LORD BOLINGBROKE.--We regret to announce the death of the Right Hon. Henry St. John, Vis count Bolingbroke and Baron St. John of Lydiard Tregooze, in Wiltshire. Lord Bolingbroke has been in the habit of spending a portion of almost every season in the north for many years. This year he took his accustomed trip, in his nsual health; but while spending a few days in Sutherland shire, he had a severe attack, which seriously affected the nervous system. Ile was ultimately conveyed to North College,lElgin, the residence of his daughter, the Hon. Mrs. Shaw. Ile had but partially recovered, when he had a se cond attack, which completely prostrated him, and from which he never fully rallied ; and on Wednesday, the Ist instant, he breathed his last. Lord Bolingbroke was the fifth viscount of that name. He was born on the 6th of March, 1786, and was consequently 65 years of age. He succeeded to the peerage on the death of his father in 1824, and is himself succeeded by his son, Henry St. John, now s Viscount Bolingbroke, w h o i s i n hi s 3 1st year.

The coachman had omitted to put on the drag down a deep pitch on the road, and hence the carriage —an open one—was overturned on a small bridge and battlement, horses, carriage, and all, into a deep ravine, with a stream at the bottom. Fortunately the vehicle was arrested by trunks of trees on the near append ing bank, and the horses were stopped lower down, on the sicle of the bank. Workmen happily being at hand, Lady Londonderry was taken out of the carriage, which it was necessary to cut into, the top and sides of the landeau being undermost. Her Ladyship was cruelly bruised and very much alarmed. Lord Londonderry, who fell upon her Lady ship, was in no degree hurt, and was safely pulled from the , and all the harnesscarri the &c., smashed, but coachman and age ; c a r T r h i a e g h e ser vants escaped unhurt. , orses were lacerated dreadfully, It is said that, in consequence of ill health, the Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol does not intend to hold a visitation this year, but that the Chancellor of the diocese will Act Or hi 4 Lordship.—,Bristel Mirror. _— COURT CIRCUL AR.

The Liberals have been considerable gainers in the Barrister's Court up to this day. Of 33 objections they succeeded in 24, while the Tories established only 12 out of 24. There are a few cases still undecided, out of which the Liberals calculate on a further majority. The royal isle may therefore be considered safe; indeed, the Tories will now hardly attempt to dispute the grounds. The Liberals of the borough of Newport have been equally successful.
