We were yesterday Evoured with a view of the Doncaster Cup for 1850, at the establishment of Messrs. Hunt and Inskell (late S:orr, Mortimer, and Hunt), 156, New Bond-street. It is ornamented in the Cinque Cento style. On the cover is a group of Victory crowning the horse. The figure of Victory is beautifully modelled, and the horse is full of spirit. Beneath the handles of the cup are - two groups, the one of wild horses, the other of domesticated horses ; the wild horses are fighting. furiously, the d o mesticated animals are fondling a foal. Around the body in compartments are alto-relievos of four different kinds of racing, two ancient and two modern—the ancient are the chariot race, and the race with lighted torches ; the modern are the Italian, in which the horses race without riders, and the Eng lish. These groups are exquisitely modelled, the ' chariot groups are most classically graceful. The modeller has thoroughly imbued himself with the pure Greek feeling of beauty, and haS produced an alto-relievo which, for classicality of de sign and elaborate finish of execution, wilt. not be soon surpassed. The English racing group is full of life. Around the stem are heads of Diana, and on the foot are the implements of racing. This, which is perhaps the most elegant race-cup that even Messrs. Hunt and Roskell have ever produced, is, we understand, designed and mo delled by Mr. Browne, a gentleman connected with their establishment, who has, by his conception and execution of this very elegant cup, given proof of th , .:, possession of true genius, chastened by refined taste and cultivated by assiduous study.

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. His Grace the Duke of I'Veldington yesterday after noon about two P.M, as he w as returning from Dover to Walrner Castle, very narrowly escaped an accident. When about a quarter of a mile east of Dover Castle, on the Deal-road, the post-horses in his Grace's car riage suddenly took fright at:the sight of some papers (songs and ballads) posted for sale during the races, upon a biard by the roadside. The post-boy lost command of his horses, and the carriage WAR preci pitated from the road down a declivity of about two feet, into a stubble field. One of the horses fell, and the post-boy was thrown down under the carriage, but escaped unhurt. Two officers of the Royal Navy who were at the time walking on the roadside imme diately came up and assisted the gallant Duke out of his carriage. The veteran general on this, as on all occasions heretofore in which he has been exposed to danger, exhibited a cool, steady, and unruffled bear ing. His only words were addressed to the post-boy, commanding him to proceed at once to Wishner. On Tuesday there was launched from Messrs. Napier's building-yard, Govan, a very beautifully modelled steam-ship, bui!t far the Glasgow and Londonderry Steam- Packet Company. At a few minutes before full title, Miss Knight, the daughter of Mr. Charles Knight, the eminent London publisher, having taken her station at the bow, the ceremony of christening was gone through, by naming the good ship " The Rose. The last dogshores were then knocked away, and the noble vessel glided gently into the waters of the Clyde. Her burthen is 490 tons, and the et!.:.•i!le power will be equal to 20U horEes.--Nurdi British Nail. Rear-Admiral. Dundas, C. 8., MT, and Lady Emily Dundas, have returned to the Gallant Admiral's efli dal residence, A the Admiralty, from a coutinental tour. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY.

It was certainly One of the most lively and interesting scenes I ever witnessed." THE EARL OF YARBOROUGH. (From the Hull Advertiser.) One of the many ardent admirers of the Earl of Yarborough's public and private character, with which North Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire abounds, kiss had the kindness to call our attention to a series of letters in the course of publication in an obscure Lincolnshire paper, condemnatory of the Noble Earl's frce• trade policy. These letters pur• port to be from the pen of an Old Tenant—a tenant to whom age h as t aug ht suc h cau ti on th a t we doubt whether he has even communicated his name as a " Tenant" to the editor of the newspaper in question. But the letters bear internal evidence of not being written by a tenant-farmer, whether old or young. They have nothing of the freshness of a sturdy far mer's mind about them. They are manifestly the concoctions of a tenth-rate Protectionist writer, as unacquainted with practical firming as with the Elu sinian Mysteries. Their object is less to annoy Lord Yarborough hirnself—wha in all probability, will never see one of them—than to disquiet his Lord ship's tenant., who, less familiar with such party de vices, may fancy that one or other of them will be suspected of thus traducing the character of one of England's best lendlorda It is rather to disabuse their minds of such an impression than to give any formal contradiction of the untruths contained in these letters that we take this notice of them. As not one in a thousand of our readers will have seen the letters in question—and as some curiosity may be felt to know in what terms the character of the Earl of Yarborough is assailed by this anonymous champion of protection, we will quote here a rather racy extract, containing the gist of the whole corre spondence. The Protectionist oracle of 80, Cornhili, London, Mr. George Frederick Young, delicately hinted, in a letter published in the Times of last week, that Mr. B lines, the excellent President of the Poor law Board, "cooked" the poor-law returns to " make things pleasant" to a Free- trade Cabinet ; and here we have another Protectionist oracle, without name or address, imputing, by the basest inuendo, a still worse charge against the Earl of Yarborough : Your Lordship is now a member of the Upper House of Parliament; the votes of your tenantry, and of the farmers generally, are not required, and you now avow yourself a Free-trader, and, what is worse (excuse my boldness) you actually lie under the suspicion el the change having taken place fear money; in ether words, that as every man has his price; your Lordship's advo cacy of free trade has been purchased. My Lord, Ido not say that this is the case—l do not venture to hint that the noble son of a noble father would sacrifice his conscientious convictions or his honour for all the glit tering gems Golconda ever produced, or for all the gold that lies hid in California's mountains and valleys ; but, my Lord, your conversion was littlo short of miraculous; it almost seems as if you pulled ofF your Protectionist coat (should I say cloak?) when you left the Commons, and straightway departed and was measured for a free trade robe for the Peers." This is a coarsely and clumsily fabricated false hood. No one before this writer ever said, insinuated, thought, or remotely imagined that his Lordship re ceived so much as the smile of a Minister by way of corrupt requital for his vote in the House of Lords upon the Address at the commencement of the session. Alany of Lord Yarborough's tenants were opposed to the repeal of the corn laws ; but there was not one of them then, nor since, nor is there one of them now, base enough to attribute his conduct to other than the purest motives. The character of public men is public property ; and most assuredly it is not without a feeling of strong indignation that the sturdy yeo manry of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire will learn that a vile attempt is made to injure the reputation of a nobleman whose private virtues and public worth and example impart a dignity to the Peerage and shed a lustre upon the English name. Though not disposed to look very favourably upon his Lordship's new port of Great Grimsby, the people of Hull take a warm in terest in whatever concerns the honour of the Earl of Yarborough, to whom many of them feel disposed to pay a qualified kind of feudal homage. His Lordship's relations with Hull have ever been those of good neighbourhood ; and in his place in Parliament he has al ways been, and is now, looked to as one of the legislative protectors of our local interests. In the minds of half the people of Hull, the Earl of Yarborough, before his elevation to the Upper House, occupied the place of third representative for this borough. Next to addressing the Members for the borough upon any question, the natural appeal was to Lord Worsley—nor was it ever rnade in vain. But it is imputed as a grave offence to the Earl of Yarborough that being, when a young wan, a Pro tectionist, he so far advanced with the progress of the ago in which he lives as to discover that it was impos sible to maintain the corn-laws, after nine-tenths of the working classes in this country had resolved to have a free trade in food. We regard this imputed offence as an act of true statesmanship. It constitutes the halo round the head of the late Sir Robert Peel that he directed this might consummation of a nation's hopes. And well was it for the tenants of the Noble Earl, and for the agriculturists of England generally, that the House of Lords, influenced by the sound judgment of such clear-headed, practical men as the late Right Hon. Baronet, gave way so soon upon that question. Had the corn-laws not been re pealed before the commencement of the French and other continental revolutions, there would unques tionablyTo have the bee p n e e a r l): abundance cce Commoners m blood r s shed in Eng land.ledepeathe corn-laws we consider England indebted f o r an escape from a revolutionary. outbreak such as we never hope to witness its these islands. We expect to be told that the farmers are no.cravens, and that if attacked they would know how to defend themselves. Doubtless they would. The yeomanry of England were ever a brave race. But is it not the bravest and the best men who entertain the greatest horror of civil strife ? Where is the Lincolnshire farmer who would not rather feed a mechanic, than feel a necessity for killing him ? But in such a contest the farmers would not always win ; while, whether win ners or losers, the markets for their productions would be utterly destroyed. Most fortunate has it been for the British farmers that the bread monopoly was abolished before the late King of the French ap peared es an exile on our shores. But supposing no such danger to have existed, Lord Yarborough's ultimate adoption of free trade policy was an act of just, enlightened, and progressive states tnenship. This is already proved by the result of the experiment already made. In the course of one year of free trade there has been an increase of trade to the enormous amount of ten mil lions sterling and upwards ! Pauperism throughout the kingdom has decreased fifteen per cent., and work is abundant and wages good in the manufacturing districts. Bat the writer of these letters is a political economist of the old Protectionist school, and lectures the Noble Earl on the operation of the principles of that science after the following fashion : " The inability of the farmer to purchase in the mar ket towns has brought down the prices of all commodi ties vended by the tradesman, and your Lordship can go with ready money and purchase anything you want —furniture, clothes, food, jewellery, everythoig, from a gold watch down to a gridiron, at 25 per cent. below the value obtained four years ago. . • . But if, m Lord, yo u can now go i nto the market and purchase for y 71. 10s. a table similar in all respects to the one which, four or five years ago, cost you 101., then I want to know who suffers from the 21. 10s. diminution in price ? Is it not clear as the sun at noon-day that this 2/. 10s. repro cents labour and profit, and that as much labour and profit —as much of the sweat of the working man's brow and the anxiety, skill, and care of tle tradesman can be obtained for 7/. 10s. as formerly 10/. would pur chase?" There are two great fallacies here. The first con sists in attributing the depreciation in the prices of every article of manufacture, from " a gold watch down to a gridiron," to the 'inability of farmers to purchase such articles ; and the. second in assuming that manufactured articles represent "as much of the sweat of the working man's brow" now as they did at any former period. Manufacturers of all descrip tions employ their heads as well as their hands. They invent new and cheap forms of manufacturing ; and thus they are enabled to produce superior articles with less labour, and to sell them at an iccreased profit at a considerably reduced price. Take the case, for example, ef Mr. Cresskill, of Beverley, the eminent manufacturer of agricultural implements. lie will produce a score of cart wheels at less expense of human toil than it would have taken, twenty years ago, to make one-fourth the number. He can do the same with all other agricultural imple ments, which he sells cheap, and yet he pays his men better wages than ever they re ceived before. It is the same with the cotton manufacturer. He now pays his spinners better wages for cottons which sell at 31. per yard, than he did when the same descriptions of cottons were EON tr for 13d. per yard.

GLOUCESTER, FRIDAY.— The Festival, FS regards the strictly musical portion of it, was brought to a close this evening, at four o'clock, and will conclude with a grand fancy and full-dress ball, to-night, at the C mlity-hall. Last night's concert at the County-hall was fully and fashionably attended. The concert opened with Beethoven's Egmont overture. Herr Formes then sang the " Pitt; paff," from the Huguenots. Madame Castellan and Miss Dolby next executed a duct of Rossini's, from his opera of Bianca Taller°. Mr. Sims Reeves sang " Fra poco" with great pathos. Madame Sontag, in Bellini's aria, "Care cornpagnej from the . Sonnambula, excited the greatest enthusiasm. Miss Lucombe and Sims Reeves sang the duet " Tor nami a dir" with good taste and perfect intonation ; but, following the brilliant performances of Sontag, did not receive the applause it merited. Miss Wil liams then sang a graceful ballad, written by a namesake, " I've sat in Gilded Palaces." Madame Castellan's rendering of Ressini's rcananza, " Orpa gentil," displayed her powers to greater advantage than anything she had previously performed. Mr. Lackey was encored in the well-known Irish ballad "The minstrel boy." Madame Sontag then sang that charming inspiration from \Veber's Der Frei chutz " Wie nachtemia der sc hl ummer ." M ozart ' s graceful Tiartett, " Placid° e it ma," sung by Ma dame Castellan, Miss Dolby, Mr. Lackey, and Herr Formes, was followed by Mendelssohn's Wedding March from the Midsummer Night's Dream, which concluded the first act. The second part opened with Mendelssohn's over ture to the Mid summer Night's Dream. Cursch man's trio, "Ti prego," was beautifully sung by Miss Lucombe, Miss Williams, and Mr. Lockey. The aria, " Ah, non giunge," was sung by Madame Castellan in her best style. Mr. Phillips rang Han del's song, "Revenge, Timotheus cries," in his own masterly manner. The duet, "Egli modia," from Donizetti's Lucia, sung by Madame Sontag and Sims Reeves, was well given. Miss Lucombe then sang the Scotch song, "Bonny Jockey," with such archness and grace as to elicit an encore. At the request of several persons attend ing the concert Madame Sontag kindly aang, " Home, Sweet Home?." Morley 's ballad, "My Bonny Lass," was sung much better than any of the previous madrigals. It was encored, as was also Miss Dolby in the Scotch song, t‘ The Lords of the Con vention." Sontag was magnificent in her delivery of Rode's air and variations, and Herr Formes in the buffo song from 11 Barbiere,—the " Largo al Fac totum," developed the full power and majesty of his bass voice. The National Anthem concluded the last concert of the festival just before midnight, and the city was in another half-hour wrapped in quiet. The citizens of Gloucester have vied with each other in showing their hospitality to their friends, and the festival of 1850 will long be remembered as one cf the gayest recorded in the history of these highly interesting meetings. To-day, the last day of the festival, has afforded a crowning victory. The bustle in the streets and at the place for obtaining tickets gave note of what fol lowed. As early as ten o'clock patties were throng ing to the cathedral to hear the Messiah. At half-past eleven o'clock, when the oratorio was com menced, the cathedral was thronged in every part. A special train from London brought a large number of strangers from the metropolis, Oxford, and other intermediate places, and the coup erwi/ as the audience seated themselves on the raising of ,the conductor's baton was most imposing. The utmost devotion ap peared to be paid by the audience, many of whom were affected to tears. At the conclusion Of the overture, Mr. Sims Reeves sang the opening recitative, and the subsequent air, " Every Valley." Mr. Lawler gave the recitative " Thus saith the Lord." He seemed to be suffering from indisposition. Miss Williams sang the recita tive and air, " 0 Thou that telleso.," in her usual cor rect manner, and the chorus wes given splendidly. Mr. Lawler gave the recitative, "For behold dark ness," in capital style, and in the air he sang admira bly. The chorus, " Unto us a child is born," was highly satisfactory. The pastoral symphony followed, after which Madame Castellan gave the difficult reci tatives announcing tho birth of a Saviour vtith en thusiastic energy. Madame Sontag's execution of " .11,:jiiice greatly" was admirable. Miss Williams sang " He shall feed his flock," and Madame Castellan "Come unto Him." It would be tedious further to particularise the different plrtions of this familiar oratorio, but we may say that on the whole it was a most effective performance. The collection was very liberal, amounting to no less than 3441. 3i., rraking the whole of the collec tions 8641. G. 61., nearly 2001. more than at last Gloucester festival. SUNDAE TRAINS on SCOTCH RAILWAYS. The knot of per.iona whq have bought shares in some of our Scotch railways for the purpose of glo rifying themselves and annoying the bona fide share holders by making motions about Sunday trails, are making secret efforts to effect a surprise at some of the half-yearly meetings to be held within these few days. Here is one of the manccuvres—a circular sent by one of the faggot-voters to his brethren and others supposed (often erroneously) to be like minded : "Ramornie, Kettle, Sept. 3, 1850. "Dear, Sir,—l write a line to remind you that the meeting of the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Rail way is fixed for Monday next, the 9th instant, at two o'clock, when I hope it will be convenient for you to attend and support my motion against the running of trains on Sabbath. "Last meeting the numbers were 43 against 43 ; so you see a single vote would have given us a majority of those present.—l am, dear Sir, ever yours truly, " FRED. L. MAITLLND IIERIOT." Mc. lleriot forgets to mention that this result was obtained only by the bulk of the shareholders having been driven away before the division ; and that, after all, the votes of those present were 386 against 132 figures which, looking at the equality of persons, show that the real or ordinary shareholders are on one bide, and the fictitious on the other.—Scotsman RAILWAY RETURNS TRAFFIC RETU'NS FOR THE PAST WEEK, Miles opened, -:ANTE OF RAILWAY.

It is, however, to be understood fr'dm the above, that all vessels from the ports of TL.rkey, Egypt, Syria, and Greece, must be provided with bills of hea!th, and this order has been communicated to the proper txu!horitieS of the seve ral ports in the United Kingdom, with dirzctions to take care that it be duly obeyed. ~~ 0 SALE OFSTIEE PFII OM T11!-G0-02YWOOcp-1.,;) FLOCK. \, (From the Brighton adzik - tt40,1 The season has arrived when thlt—ales s o South Down sl•ep attract large nuftit;irtit4f arid agriculturists. There is no breeder, perhaps, better acquainted with the system of crossing than Mr. Webt-, of Babraham, who for many years has at tended all our great sheep sales, and purchased at them very largely. His example is now followed by the leading breeders in other countit's, and in the course of time the blood of the celebrated South Down sheep will probably he crossed with most of the great flocks in the kingdom. A great improvement has taken place in many flocks ; and we may instance those of Mr. Rigden and the Duke of Richmond. His Grace discontinued his annual sales some eight or ten years ago, but latterly there has been such a visible alteration in his flock for the better, that the Noble Duke has resolved on resuming his sales of draughts from his fleck. Accordingly, on Tuesday lasf, 220 ewes were brought to the hammer, together with several rams, Mr. Wy a tt h av i ng been honoured with instruc tions to dispose of them. The sale took place in a field close to the Drayton station ; and it being the first of the kind this season, it attracted a large and highly influential company, including Mr. Webb, Babrahain ; Mr. Stephen Mill, Wiltshire ; Mr. John Ellman, Landport ; Mr. Rigden, Hove ; Mr. Tanner, 11 Patcham ; M r. Alexander ,11.1 Watergate ; Mr. Woodma n , P a l mer ; Mr. Boys, Eastbourne ; Mr. A. D enman, Stoneham ;Mr. Charles Duke, Mr. George Duke, and Mr. W. Duke, of Lavant ; Mr. Wyatt, Fithbourne ; Mr. Hersey , Runcton ; Mr. Mellish, rgent of the Duke of Nor ; Mr. Drewitt, Owing ; Mr. Upton, Aldwiek ; Mr. Pad wick, Havant; Mr. Sadler, Levant, &c. A booth was erected in the field where the sale took place, and Mr. Mant, of Chichester, bad provided an excellent cold collation, of which about forty par took. As soon as the inward man had been re freshed, Mr. Wyatt mounted the rostrum and 'com menced the sale. He said he need not make any remarks on the, quality of the sheep; the ,Duke of Richmond's name stood too prominently forward in' the great -agricultural shows to need comment. lie was instructed to offer everything without the slightest reservation. If a shilling were offered he should take it; and, as his Grace contemplated an annual sale, he was determined that those who came a long way should not be disappointed, but should have something worth coming for. The first lot of ten two tooth South Down ewes were sold to Mr. Richards at 28s. each. Mr. Webb was the purchaser of the second lot at 345. each. The next lot often were knocked down to Mr. Webb at 555.; the next ten to Mr. Mellish at 345. The next lot were sold to Mr. Fow!ey at Mr. Webb purchased another ten at 70s. The first lot of ten six-tooth ewes were sold at 44 , . Mr. 'Webb purchased the next ten for 70s. Mr. Charles Duke was the buyer of the next pen at 52i. 61. Mr. Webb purchased a pen at 365., and another pen at 41s. The first lot of full-mouthed ewes was knocked down to Mr. Rigden at 40s. The next pen of ten was the best lot of the whole. It created great corn.. petition, and was ultimately knocked down to Mr. Dentnarrat 51. 12c. 61. each. Mr. Duke purchased the next pen at 465, ; Mr. Webb the next pen at 37.. ; and the succeeding one at 39. i. Mr. Sadler bought one pen at 705., and another pen at 81s. Mr. Charles Duke, a pen at 415.; Mr. Fowler, a pen at 355.; and Mr. Webb, a pen at 38s. Lot 22 consisted of four twc-tooth, four four tooth, and six two-tooth wethers, which were knocked down to Mr. Duke at 31s. This completed the sale cf ewes ; and the prices obtained fur them wtre considered very good. The auctioneer then commenced the sale of rams. Mr. James Ellman was the purchaser of the fiat ram, five years old, for 81. Bs., which he took with him home to Landport. A two-toothed ram, one year old, fetched 2/. 10s. Mr. Henry Sadler pur chased a one year old ram for Cl. 155.; Mr. Dibbirs one fur 8/. 55.; Mr. Mellish one (two year) for 51. 10s.; Mr. Arthur Upton one (three year) for 101. 10s.; Mr. Mellish one (two year) for 91. 153. ; Mr. Mills one (two year) for 71., and one (one year) for Cl. 103. One ram (one year), purchased by Mr. Pad wick, fetched 15/. 55.; and Mr. Mills was the purchaser of one (one year old) for 201. Mr. Elder field purchased one for 41. SQ. SL;eral rams were let to Mr. Dibbins, Mr. Whicher, Mr. Elderfield, Mr. Waterers, and Mr. George Bailey, at prices varying from 4/. is. to 8/. This being a draught only from the Goodwood flock, the best rams is the flock were not put up for competition. On the whole the rams were sold and let well. After the disposal of the sheep the auctioneer sold a number of cart horses and agricultural implements, but then was nothing remarkably interesting in this part of the day's sale ; and, before it was over, most of the leading agriculturists were in the train on their way to Brighton. MR. GORHAM AND THE COURSE HE WILL FOLLOW. The rectcr of Brampford Speke will, probably, read himself in on Sunday next. There is some uncer tainty connected with the matter, as the reverend gentleman has required repose after his late trials : and this he has been enabled to secure by the bro therly kindness of the clergymen in the vicinity of Brampford Spoke, who have undertaken the whole of his duty. We are, however, the more disposed to believe that Mr. Gorham will enter upon his new duties on Sun day next from the fact that a confirmation is to take place in the locality to which he was appointed by her Majesty, and that he has been ordered by the Bishop of Exeter to prepare the candidates ! If, therefore, Mr. Gorham discusses the question of bap tism, it will be because the subject is forced upon him. This discussion, however, will most likely take place at the private examinations of the catechumens, for we do not anticipate that the reverend gentleman will grati y curiosity by holding a public examination. It is, we believe, pretty generally understood that Mr. Gorham will preach in the afternojn of Sunday next ; and, as we have heard it reported, on the rite of con. !Inflation. The episcopal short-hand writer and the " visi:ors" inay, hovverer, find, after all, that the first sermon will be purely ietroductory. It was said, some time since, that the rector was about to bring an action against the Bishop for the letter of that prelate to the churchwardens. The former had been urged to do so, and had not lacked legal encouragement ; but, if the idea was ever en tertained, we feel sure that it has now been dismissed. This is the best for peace sake; the more particularly when it is remembered that the Biahep would probably justify his letter by the alleged fact of heresy, and would try that fact in his own court. We expect that Mr. Gorham will confine himself to address his parishioners in a printed letter by way of reply to the document of his diocesan, directing the churchwardens to exercise the right of private judgment on whatever their pastor may preach. However this may be, we know that it is the rev. gentleman's fixed resolution to assert his own spi ritual liberty ; to affirm his determination to " preach" (not controversially) what he " bolds ;" and to fulfil the cure of souls which the Archbishop has delegate:d to him by teaching all Christian doctrine, including that against which the Bishop professes his anxiety to guard the parishioners of Brampford Speke. This course is characterised at once by fearlessness and honesty, and we believe its certain result will be to show that the rector and his diocesan are not so widely at issue, and that peace will prevail and triumph without the impugning or the sacrifice of doctrine.-- Church and State Gazette. ENCROACHMENTS ON ST. JAMES'S AND THE GREEN PARK. —I would ask what necessity there can be, in looking at the plan for what is termed "improvements proposed in St. James's-park, opposite to Buckingham Palace," to put the country to an expense of about 15,000/, when certainly 1,5001. would accomplish all that is required? It is proposed to alter the present line of iron railing to the enclosures of St. James's and the Green Parks, to which there can be no objection; but why, or for what reason, the present ornamental piece . of water is to be destroyed, and encroached upon by astifT, formal, and uns i g htly enclosure of iron railings, which is es timated at 15,0J0i., it is utterly impossible to conjecture; there is nothing gained by it, and it is not of the slighest ad vantage either to the palace, or much ironless to the public. become railings, ofthe expen siveg T s, h c e , r i e n is fro a nt s bronze railing put up by the late Mr. Nash ?

As he believed Southport to be a mere village, he conceived he should find them without difficulty; but when he saw the splendid street and the avenues branching from it, he was vexed at his folly in not ascertaining the whereabout of his dear ones before he set out. Ile inquired far and wide till he was weary, but no success attended his efforts. At length a bright thought struck him. Ile called upon the town crier, and gave him directions to proclaim as follows :—" If Mrs. —, of Manchester, and her daughter, will apply to me they will hear of something to their advantage." The ladies heard the bellman ; they were astonished, of course, and, of course, exceedingly carious. To assuage the latter feeling they had the crier called; he was followed by the husband and father, and as the mother and daughter were both delighted to see the gentleman, they acknowledged that they bad heard of something indeed " greatly to their ad vantage."—Lir.erpool Mercury.
