Vottrp. PRAY FOR YOUR QUEEN. (From the Church of England Magazine.) " Endue her plenteously with heavenly gifts ; grant her in health and wealth long to live ;—and, finally, after this life, may she attain everlasting-joy and felicity, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." —LITURGY. Pray for your Queen : upon your sovereign's brow Youth lingers still, nor has experience there 'Written her duties in the lines of care ; The hand that holds fair England's sceptre now Is but a gentle maiden's ; can it clasp That mighty symbol with a steady gr as p? Dark clouds are louring o'er our sunny sky ; If they should gather, could that fragile form " Ride on the whirlwind and direct the storm ?" Wisdom, strength, energy, are from on high ; Wouldst thou enrich her with these blessings? Pray : One reigns above whom heaven and earth obey. Pray for your Queen : her's is a woman's heart, And woman's perils lurk around her way ; Pleasure may lead her heedless steps astray, Or flattery soothe when conscience wings its dart. Love, that sweet well-spring of domestic joy,. Scarce rises in a court without alloy; And woman's sorrows may be her's to share : Sunshine has beamed upon her path thus far, But this bright scene one sudden storm would mar, And England's rose might droop, though now so fair. Say, wouldst thou shield her from these perils ? Pray Strength shall be granted equal to her day. Pray for your Queen : for an immortal soul Is shrin'd within that bosom. Could we see Time by the brightness of eternity, A shade across life's pageantry would roll; Then we should know how perilous is power, Not hounded by the limits of life's hour : Its deeds are stamp'd on history's open page; Nor there alone—a tablet is on high, Before the Almighty's pure and holy eye; That record fades not by the touch of age, And she must hear its witness. Christian, pray, That joy be written there in heaven's bright ray. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. RURAL POLICE. (Prom the Preston Pilot.) The reader will find in our present paper an account of the Koccedings at the adjourned Annual Session, held at the. Court-house on Wednesday last, and he must consider them of most interesting nature. The appointment of a co nstabulary force of 500 men, at a cost of more than £30,000 a-year, cannot fail to be a most astounding announcement to every person in the county, but especially to persons in the rural dis tricts, whose property must of necessity bear a large proportion of the tax that will be required, and for whom tha system, shuffle its distributive qualities as you may, will afford little protection. There is another objection, however, to the measure, and that is, the certainty of its superseding the present most respected body of county . magistrates. For as sure as the con stabulary force is formed, so surely will its control be but for a short period nominally under the control of the county magistracy. The next step (and the tran sition is really clearly so easy a one, that we wonder the magistracy have not seen it and guarded against it) the next move in the game of despotism that will be played in the counties of England, will be the substitution of a race of stipendiaries, after the Irish fashion, and the county magistrate who shall then be bold and honest enough to say an unpleasant thing (hear the toast of the " Battle of the Diamond," given in his own house) against the government in power, will as surely be sent to the right about as was Colonel Verner and other spirited and independent mogistrates in Ireland. We think the county of Lancaster at large will not be found to agree in the conduct of the magistracy, in surrendering its government to hirelings, we care not whether they are called stipendiary magistrates, chief constables, superintendents, or by any other name. And we further say, that if till' county will not guaran tee its own peace and security by its own unbought exertions, the puny efforts of a hired force of 500 men will be found most miserably inadequate. lIFVona the Preston Chronicle.) At the'magistrates' meeting, on Wednesday, it was, as our readers will perceive, fully settled that we are to have a rural constabulary, or, to speak more correctly, a semi-military surveillance over this county. The state of the times is certainly an excuse for almost any measure of police stringency,—but we are not aware of anything so desperate in the condition of society as to justify, much less call for, this most expensive, rigor ous, and obnoxious espionage arrangement. We have not, at present, the opportunity of fully entering into the subject, nor indeed is there anything to invite our strictures against the infliction, feeling, as we do, that remedy 18 hopeless ; for after the almost unanimous feeling manifested by sixty-two county magistrates, on Wednesday, it ought rather, perhaps, to be our hum ble solicitude to reconcile ourselves, and bend submis sively to the infliction, than to recollect that we are Englishmen, and, at the resistless bidding of such a recollection, struggle sternly against it. It was pain ful to hear some of the magistrates, who ought to know better; applauding broadly, and without qualifi cation, the. principle of concentration,—the principle upon which this rural soldiery experiment is based. Alas ! these ' 2 great unpaid" perhaps never k new , or , peradventure, have forgot, that while dispersion of power is another name foF freedom, concentration is another name for tyranny. SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS BY THE UNITED STATES BANK. (From the Morning Herald.) The United States Bank has suspended cash pay ments ; and those stupid capitalists who were stupid enough to buy up the rotten " securities" with which the emissaries of Mr. Nicholas Biddle deluged our money market two years and a l.alf ago, will have lei sure to repent pf their folly. We have now, within the brief period of three years, received two somewhat severe commentaries on the value of our boasted foreign trade. In the beginning of 1837 all the banks of the United States suspended payment. Many of our leading merchants were, in consequence, ruined; and Great Britain, besides the injury consequent on the stagnation of trade, and on the privation of employment to large bodies of work people, lost ultimately several millions sterling. True, there was, after a long interval, a " settlement" of the debt—but a settlement after what fashion ? The miserable dependance of our cotton manufacturers on the cotton growers of America compelled them, after the failure of our American debtors, to buy American produce as before ; but honest Mr, Biddle and his allies determined, after their insolvency, to turn their " vice to commodity." They issued, accordingly, im mense masses of paper money to the holders of cot ton—forced up prices to an unnatural height—and paid their debt to England in a manner highly satisfactory and profitable to themselves ! The United States of America creates three-fourths of that demand on which our foreign trade is based ; and our foreign trade has, for more than twenty years, pToved a source of daily-increasing loss to England. Yet our foreign trade is all-important in the eyes of our rulers. Compared with our foreign trade, what rare our free-trade " philosophers" for home trade, or for the trade with our colonies ? To foreign trade everything is sacrificed. We beat down the value of native industry to the point which enables us to under sell foreign manufacturers in foreign markets ; we im pert-oriel" the consumers of the produce of the British soil, in order to substitute for them far less profitable foreign customers : and when we have, at length, se cured these customers, we are far (as the history of our recent dealings with the United States proves) from having secured their money. We have, in truth, lost, by our foreign trade, a mass of wealth, which, had it been ditiqued throughout England, in the form of in creased wages, would have rendered chartist insurrec tions impossible, while it would have preserved our manufacturing and commercial systems from the gamb ling character which now attaches to them. Will our rulers never learn, until 'it shall be too late, that no trade may vie in importance, and in profitable ness, with home trade ? Will they never learn, that the glorious colonies of E ng l an d conta i n within themselves the means of creating markets for the produce of Englisk industry, ten thousand times more valuable than all the foreign markets in the world ? Home trade mid colonial trade, unlike our foreign trade, are liable to no disastrous reverses. Home trade and co lonial trade neither convert our merchants into despe rate gamblers, nor our labourers into degraded paupers. Home trade and colonial trade fill the cottages of the poor with plenty—impart dignity and security to the condition of our traders—and diffuse wealth, and its attendant ble” , ings, through all orders of society. Fo reign trade never can effect these great results. The true functions of foreign trade resolve themselves into the exchange of one nation's superfluities against the everiluities of other nations. When, however, a na tion, the English, is foolish enough to render itself dependent on such a trade—when a great nation per mits prices and wages at home to be regulated by the prices and wages which obtain in poorer foreign mar keti—then may the rulers of such a nation be justly described as men afflicted with judicial blindness ! `WHIG TRlCaelt Y.— Quack Bowring, who has been abroad at the country's expense, is to attend the Manchester Cham ber of Commerce (another name merely for the anti-corn law league), by permission of ministers, to endeavour to make out a case against agricultural protection, from the informa tion which he has acquired in Germany. LOAD MELBOURNE AND THE COLLEGE FOR CIVIL ENOINIZR4.—A few days before the council of this new establishment printed their prospectus adeputation waited on the Premier to request her Majesty's name as patroness. He received them with politeness, and promised to submit the prospectus to her Majesty, and doubted not of her appro ation to so useful a society. The same deputation waited again on his lordship forhis answer, when he informed them coldly, that having perused their prospectus, he considered it as too restricted in its nature, and could not recom mend it to her Majesty's patronage. The words " this . college is b ase d upon the principles of the Established Church," iu the first regulation, was the choke-pear that the Liberal Premier could not swallow, although followed by " but such pupils as are of a different religous persuasion will be permitted to have free communication with their pastors, and to attend their respective places of Divine worship."

INTRODUCTION OF A RURAL POLICE INTO LANCASHIRE. ADJOURNED ANNUAL SESSIONS AT PRESTON. The magistrates of the county held an adjourned annual session at the Court-house, in Preston, on Wednesday last, principally to take into consideration the expediency of adopting the provisions of the act 2 and 3 Victoria, c. 94, relating to the establishment of a county and district consta bulary force. The subject being one of great importance, it was very satisfactory tq perceive, from the full attendance of the magistracy, that the question had gained that large share of interest to which, in every point of view, it is so deservedly entitled. The Rev. J. Brooks, rector of Liverpool, was called to the chair, and the following are the names of the magistrates present :—T. B. Addison, Esq., W. Gale, Esq., R. Walker, Esq., M.P., A. Wood, Esq., E. Hibbert, Esq., R. Hargreaves, Esq., J. Feilden, Esq., J. Taylor, Esq., J. Cross, Esq., L. G. N. Starkie, Esq., J. Cunliffe, Esq., E. Grundy, Esq., R. E. Allison, Esq., W.

Hor rocks, jun., Esq., J. H. Kea rs l e y, E sq., R . H. Wlch, Esq., W. Marshall, Esq., Rev. W. Thursby, Rev. G. Baldwin, and Rev. J. T. Horton. REPORT ON MR. HARPER'S CASE. The Chairman said the first business of the court was to consider the report of a committee, on a petition which had Leen presented by a person named Harper, late a conveyor of convicts for the county, praying the remission of a penalty which had been inflicted on him for the escape of a prisoner who had been intrusted to him. The report recommended that the prayer of the petitioner should not be acceded to. Mr. Gale moved that the report be received and adopted. Mr. E. Dawson seconded the motion, which, after a short discussion, was put and carried nem. con. PASSING OF SCOTCH AND IRISH POOR FROM LIVERPOOL. The Chairman read a report from a committee appointed to inquire into this subject, the substance of which was, that the arrangements heretofore existing and acted upon, as re lating to payments made to the pass officer at Liverpool, were in strict accordance with the act of parliament. Mr. Greene, M.P., suggested that the report of the com mittee should be printed in the report of the day's proceed ings, as it would give magistrates an opportunity of making enquiries into the subject. The printing of the report would enable magistrates to set themselves right on the merits of the subject, and he therefore moved that the report be printed. Mr. E. G. Hornby seconded the motion, which, after a few observations from the Chairman, was agreed to. COUNTY AND DISTRICT CONSTABLES. The Chairman next said that the court would then proceed to consider the provisions of the Act 2 and 3 Victoria, c. 33, relating to the establishment of a county and district con stabulary force. He understood that the Clerk of the Peace had received the several reports, and, if it was the pleasure of the court, he would request that officer to read them. Mr. Gale asked leave to make an observation or two be fore the reports from the magistrates assembled at the differ ent quarter sessions were read. He was induced to adopt such course from the circumstance, that he and his brother magistrates in the division of Lonsdale North of the Sands were not mask acquainted, with the fact, that the considera tion of the subject respesting a constabularly force would he brought under discussion at the October Quarter Sessions held at Lancaster, and therefore they had not attended and given their opinion upon the question. They had, however, deliberated upon it at a petty session, and he was allowed to say that they we re unan i mous l y agreed in the principle of its being expedient to increase the police force throughout the county. He would desire, then, that when the Clerk of the Peace should have read the reports agreed to at the different quarter session, he should also read the report agreed to in petty session by all the magistrates acting in the division of the Lonsdale Hundred North of the Sands. The court having signified an assent to the request, Mr. Gorst proceeded first to read the report agreed to by the magistrates assembled at the Michaelmas Quarter Sessions heldat Lancaster, from which it appeared that the population of Lonsdale North of the Sands (by the census of 1831,) was 34,311, and that of Lonsdale south was 32,415 ; from which latter, however the population of the borough of Lancaster 12,613, would have to be deducted, that place having its own police force already established agreeable to the provi sions of the municipal reform bill. There were in the Lons dale hundred north 34 townships, and in the south division 45 townships, exclusive of Lancaster; and the whole popu lation (that of Lancaster not included) was 44,113. The magistrates were unanimously in favour of the provisions of the act, and considered that a force of about 44 constables should be established. (The maximum number which the act allows to be appointed is one for each thousand popu lation.) The Chairman said that as the magistrates on Mr. Gale's division of the Lonsdale Hundred had agreed to a report in petty sessions, he thought the proper time had arrived for such report being read. Mr. Gorst then read such report, which was agreed to at a meeting of eleven magistrates, and they were unanimous in their opinion of the insufficiency of the present constabulary force. Mr. Gorst next read the Preston report, agreed to by 28 magistrates present, in which the'adoption of the act in the hundreds of Amounderness, Blackburn, and Leyland was strongly recommended. The report agreed to at the Salford Sessions, at which 48 magistrates were present, was next read, and in this it was recommended to appoint district constables throughout the county. Mr. Foster begged to offer a few words of explanation, in order to show the court the data on which the magistrates of Salford had felt justified in recommending the adoption throughout the county of the constabulary force bill. There was a population of 273,900 persons within the hundred, ex clusive of the boroughs of Manchester and Bolton, and the townships having a population of more than 10,000, and such as are governed by local acts. With respect to the number of constables to be appointed, the magistrates did not consi der it expedient to adopt the maximum one—viz., one in a thousand population ; but on the contrary would prefer, at the commencement of the experiment, that one in two thousand population should be first tried, being quite satis fied that if the operations of the act should prove beneficial, and it was discovered that the force appointed was not suffi ciently effective, the magistrates would have no hesitation in making such a further increase as to ensure its full efficiency. On the question of salaries to be paid to the force, the ma gistrates had thought that the wages of the constables might be allowed to be 18s. to 20s. per week, and those of the superintendents, the grade next above the constables, from 20s. to 225. per week. Mr. Gorst next read the report agreed to at the Kirkdale Quarter Sessions, at which 25 magistrates were present, the tenor of which report was quite in favour of the adoption of the act of parliament. Mr. Greene rose and said the court had heard the opinions of the magistrates assembled in the different parts of the county, all of which were decidedly in favour of the adoption of the provisions of the act. It therefore appeared to him, that the business which the present meeting had next to de termine, was that of evincing whether those recommendations should be acted upon, and in ord er t o ascer t a i n t h at, h e would move that the provisions of the 2d and 3d Victoria, c. 93, relating to the appointment of a constabulary force, should be adopted throughout the county of Lancaster. Col. Rawstrone said lie quite agreed in the expediency of allowing the pleasure a trial, for he had no doubt that it would be found to work in the most satisfactory manner, in affording additional security to persons and property, and he therefore cordially seconded the motion. The Chairman then put the motion, and the same was agreed' to without furtner observation. The Chairman then said, that before proceeding with the question of the number of officers to be appointed, it might be as well first to come to an agreement as to whether there should be one or two chief superintendents. Mr. Gale moved that there be one general superintendent. Mr. Walker seconded the motion. The Rev. J. T. Horton thought that the manner in which the motion had been proposed and seconded was much too brief; gentlemen submitting and seconding propositions ought, at least, to give some explanation of their motives. Mr. Gale said he was more desirous to promote business t hgn ambitious to make speeches. Mr. Crosse said that as the extent of the county was very considerable, and its interests in the two divisions quite dis similar, he would move that there be two chief superintend ents appointed. Mr. Thicknesse concurred in the views of Mr. Crosse, and would second his motion. Rev. J. T. Horton would support Mr. Gale's motion for one chief superintendent. The Chairman thought if two appointments were made, the magistrates should appostion the expenses equitably on the two divisions. Mr. Greene thought that although it might be possible to succeed in having the appointment of two chief constables confirmed, he apprehended it would be found altogether im practicable to divide the county assessment. Mr. Addison and Mr. Foster thought it the most judicious course to have one or two individuals appointed with powers nearly equal to those possessed by the chief constable. The Chairman put the amendment that two chief con stables be appointed for which a few hands only were held up ; he then put the original motion for the appointment o one, and it was carried by a large majority. NUMBER OF CONSTABLES. Mr. Gale next moved that the number of constables to be appointed should be after the scale of one for each two thou sand of the population. The whole population from the census of 1831, (exclusive of those places for which the pro visions of the act were not yet required) appeared to be in the Northern Division 264,320, and in the Southern 353,000 to gether 617,320, which divided by the plan proposed in his motion, would require a force of 310 or 312 constables ; he should therefore move, that 310 constables be the number recommended. Mr. Fort would move that 400 be the number. Mr. Greene thought there was not sufficient data, as to the amount of population, to justify the court in determining on the number of constables which would be required; and he judged that it would be highly expedient that a short de lay would be allowed before the decision was come to. The court had given consent to the adoption of the act, but he thought the scale, as to the numerical strength of the force, should not be fixed until the magistrates had been put in pos session of the information which they required to enable them to come to a proper decision. Mr. Norreys seconded Mr. Gale's motion. Mr. Foster said he approved rather of one constable for each 2000 of the population being appointed, than one for 1000. Mr. Gale said he had, at an earlier stage of the proceed ings, been requested by Mr. Horton to state some of the reasons on which he founded his motion. He would beg to say, then, that he was guided by the following data. The poor-law union, which included the whole district of Lons dale North of the Sands, was superintended, in its relief de partment, by six officers, the population being about 13,000. And as those six officers found themselves fully competent to attend to the whole district, the magistrates considered themselves quite justified in recommending that the appoint ment of constables should not be on a more numerous scale than that of one for 2000 population. Rev. J. T. Horton could not agree with the scale proposed by Mr. Gale, for he thought that the population of Lonsdale North, consisting, as it did, of 13,000 persons, were entitled to have 13 constables, to protect themselves and their pro perty, rather than 61, as the motion intended for them. He thought it was an erroneous idea to snpose that a population scattered like the one in Lonsdale, did not require any vigilant system of protection, for he believed that the reverse was the fact. He concluded by mo v i ng that the maximum provision of the act should be adopted—that of having one constable for each 1000 of the population. Mr. J. H. Kearsley seconded the motion. Mr. Addison reminded the court that the calculations on the amount of population were made in the census of 1831, since which period a very large increase had no doubt been made ; in fact, he believed that the number proposed by Mr. Gale would be little more than one in 3000. He should therefore suggest that the number to be recommended should be 500, which, in the present state of population, would not much exceed one in 1500 ; but when the other towns fell in, in two years from the adoption of the act, those 500 consta bles would very little exceed the scale of one in 2000. He would therefore move that 500 constables be the number re commended. Rev. W. Thursby would second this amendment. Rey. J. T. Horton said he greatly desired to see unani- mitt in the proceedings of the court, and if Mr. Gale and Mr. Fort would consent to withdraw their respective mo tions, he would do the same, and support Mr. Addison's. Mr. G. Wood begged to observe, that by the plan of Mr. Addison, a charge of little less than £30,000 a year would be incurred. Mr. Gale said he must decline to withdraw his motion. Mr. Addison said no doubt the charge of the force at the number he had proposed, and supposing that each constable cost the county £6O a year, would amount to £30,000, but that sum would be raised from an assessment of less than 3d. in the pound on the assessment of the county property as laid in 1819, and to obtain the protection which would be secured from the services of the constabulary force, he thought no serious objection would be urged by the rate-payers generally. The Chairman then put the amendment of Mr. Addison, that 500 constables be-the recommended force, and the show of hands at once declared the support of the court in its fa vour. He, however, next put Mr. Fort's amendment for 400, for which only a few hands were elevated, he therefore declared the amendment for 500 carried. SALARY OF CHIEF CONSTABLE. The Chairman next called attention to the subject respect ing the salary to be given to the chief constable. Rev. W. Thursby begged therefore to move that such salary be.ZBOO a year, exclusive, of course, of those allow ances which such officer would be entitled for extraordinary expenses. The motion having been seconded, Mr. Gale said he could not give his consent to a salary on the scale like that which they had just heard proposed. He was quite as anxious as any gentleman could be to have the situation of chief constable filled by a most efficient officer, but he had no doubt that such a person might be obtained for much less than the one named ; and acting under that conviction he would move that the salary to the chief con stable be £5OO a year. Mr. Dawson concurred in the opinion of Mr. Gale, and he had great pleasure in seconding the amendment. Mr. Addison then again suggested the propriety of ap pointing two officers who should be next in rank to the chief constable, but above the superintendents, one of whom should be stationed at Liverpool and the other at Preston. And he would beg to propose a motion to that effect. Mr. Foster would second the motion for the appointment of two chief assistant superintendents, but as to determining their location, he thought that-should be settled hereafter. A discussion then arose on the title to be given to two such officers, at the close of which, Mr. Addison moved that two of the constables should be allowed a salary of £2OO a-year each, their duties to be here after defined. Mr. Foster seconded the motion, and the same, after a d: vision, was carried. SALARY - OF SUPERINTENDENTS. Mr. Addison next moved that to each of the petty sessions divisions, 15 in all, a superintendent should be appointed, with a salary of £lOO, which, after a short discussion was agreed to. Mr. Addison again rose, and suggested that the body of constables should consist' of three classes, whose salaries should respectively be sixteen, seventeen, and eighteen shil lings per week, exclusive of clothing, and he concluded, by proposing a motion to that effect. Mr. .Dawson seconded. The Chairman then put the motion, and it was carried unanimously. ACT FOR ORDERING PRISONS. The Chairman said there was another subject on the paper, viz., to consider the Act of Parliament recently passed for ordering prisons ; as, however, it was not meant to come into operation until the Ist of January next, perhaps the sub ject might be allowed to stand over until the adjourned ses sion, which would be required to be held to make the ap pointment of the chief constable of the new force. In the mean time the magistrates who visited any of the gaols in the county might obtain as much information as possible, and communicate it to the general body at the sessions to which he had alluded. These suggestions of the chairman having met the concurrence of the court, it was afterwards agreed that the adjourned annual session, for making the chief con stable's appointment, and other matters, should be held on the 30th instant, of which the Clerk of the Peace was to give the requisite notice to the magistrates of the county. The Chairman then left the chair, when a vote of thanks was passed to him for his excellent conduct, and the court then separated.—Abridged from the Preston papers. FORGERY ON THE BANK OF MESSRS ATTNVOODS AND SPOONER. We announced, in our paper of Thursday last, that a for gery had been committed on the banking establishment of Messrs. Attwoods and Spooner, of this town, by the imita tion of their £5 note s . Si nce th en i t has been discovered that a considerable number of the forged notes have been put into circulation in this and some of the adjoining towns, more particularly in Wolverhampton and the neighbourhood. ' The forgery was ascertained at Messrs. Attwoods and Spoon er's establishment in the early part of last week, and they adopted instant measures for apprising the various banks in the town and surrounding districts of the circumstance, with the view of putting the public on their guard, and of detect ing the parties engaged in the fraud. These measures have, we are happy to say, led to the detection of, it is supposed, the principal in the transactions, a young man of the name of Horton, an engraver, respectably connected in Birming ham. On Thursday last, Horton, accompanied by another young man, called at the Aston Tavern, and had some bran dy, for which they tendered a £5 note. Mr. Craggs, the landlord, observing that the name was wet, had his attention directed more closely to it, and immediately suspected it to be a forgery. He then went out to consult with a neighbour, leaving Horton and his companion in the house, who, be coming alarmed, immediately decamped. Horton, however, was soon after secured ; but his companion escaped. On being taken to the public office, and searched, upwards of £l5, in sovereigns and silver were found in his po sse s s i on . The officers having ascertained his residence to be in Barr street, Hockley, at once proceeded to his house, which they searched, and found, by the tools in his possession, that he was an engraver by trade, but could discover no trace of the plate from which the notes had been printed, and which is, in all probability, destroyed. The prisoner was taken before W. Beale, Esq., at the public office, on Monday (4th i ns t.), when the above facts were proved in evidence. It also ap peared that on the same day (Thursday week), about one o'clock, Horton and the man supposed to be his accomplice called at the house of Mr. Hailstone, victualler at Gravelly hill, where they had dinner, in payment for which they ten dered one of the forged notes, and received the difference in change. The parties also succeeded in passing another of the notes to Mr. Galey, victualler, also of Gravelly-hill, where they purchased a quart of brandy. Mr. Suckling, so licitor, appeared on the part of the bank for the prosecution, and Mr. Harding, a clerk in the office of Mr. Berwick, for the prisoner. —Mr. Dallaway, of the establishment of Messrs. Attwoods and Spooner deposed that the notes produced were forgeries ; and the prisoner, under the advice of Mr. Hard ing, having declined to say anything in explanation of the manner in which they came into his possession, was commit ted to take his trial at the assizes. During the day, several tradesmen and others from Wolverhampton were in attend ance, and from the statements which they made, it is feared that the prisoner and his companion succeeded in putting into circulation in that place between thirty and forty notes in one day. It is understood that the prisoner will be again brought up to-day or to-morrow (7th or Bth inst.), when other charges of a similar nature will be preferred against him.—Birmingham Herald. DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE ON THE NORTH UNION RAILWAY. On Friday evening one of the most wicked and malevolent outrages that a fiend in human form could contemplate, was committed upon the North Union Railway, between Preston and Parkside. It appears as the mail train was proceeding from Preston to join the Grand Junction at Parkside, when passing under the second bridge from Preston,, some villain or villains threw a large stone of about 301bs. weight upon the carriages. It fortunately happened that the huge missile, instead of alighting at the top of either of the carriages which were filled with passengers, fell upon the foot-board under the guard's seat, from whence it rebounded to the carriage in advance, the end of which it stove -in with great violence. The guard was not sitting in his place at the time, otherwise instant death must have been the consequence. The engine was progressing with great rapidity, so that the engineer could not stop in time to give a chance, by returning to the bridge, of capturing the would-be assassins. A crash was heard when the stone alighted, but some few minutes elapsed before the cause was known, when it was found jammed in between the timbers and the carriage, the drapery in the interior haying prevented it from falling upon the heads of the passengers. The stone was brought on to Parkside, (at which place our correspondent inspected it,) and from thence con veyed back to Preston, where, exertions will be made to find out the miscreants. The guards, engineers, and others con nected with the North Union line complain (and not without cause) that there is a great want of police on the line of road, as at present there is no protection against outrages, which not only place their lives in jeopardy, but the lives of the passengers entrusted to their care. It appears that there is a sad ruffianly set of blackguards residing upon the line be tween Parkside and Preston, the beer-houses at which they congregate lending no small influence to deeds of crime. The day previous to this occurrence a large block of wood m , termed " a sleeper," wa s l a id across t h e ra i ls, which must inevitably have been the means of upsetting the carriages, if the man on the look-out had not perceived it in time. On Monday last, between Wigan and Parkside, a large gate was placed across the rails in the night, but the engine fortunately cut through the wood without any injury to carriages or pas sengers. It is to be hoped that the directors of the railway will see the necessity of placing a proper watch upon the line, and if not, that the new constabulary force, which the magis trates have agreed to introduce, may be the means of affording that protection which the public at present want. The North Union Railway is one which is much patronised by the no blemen, gentlemen, and others from the south of England on their way to Scotland, and it is much to be regretted that the directors should not consider the interests of the shareholders by going tb a little more expense in their arrangements. On the Manchester and Liverpool and. Grand Junction lines, individuals are not allowed to walk upon the railroad ; but on this, we understand, no impediment has been thrown to pedestrians, whether sober or otherwise.— Wigan Gazette. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER—FRIDAY EVENING. The engagements have been so limited in amount and num ber, since our quotations on Tuesday, that we have simply to state, that the leading favourites remain nearly in statu quo. Some inquiry has been made after the " three brothers"—to Margrave, to Dick, and to Heron ; 100 to 2 was offered against any of them. 500 to 5 would have been accepted on The son of Bustard. Lord G. Bentinck's Bonnet Rouge, by Langar, and the Duke of Cleveland's colt out of Emigrant's dam, have been b,acked at 100 to 2 each ; the acceptor refused to take on, except at 200 to 3 ; afterwards, 1000 to 20 was offered against each of them, with 1000 to 30 against Brother to Melbourne—to take the three bets or none. Maroon seems rather a better favourite ; 100 to 3 have been pencilled down to-day. 500 to 20 was offered against St. Andrew yes terday, and 20 ponies to 1 against Brother to Euclid ; also 10 fifties to 1 against Lord Exeter's team of seven. On Tuesday we unintentionally stated Fitzroy taken upon at 1000 to 23 that evening ; we ought to have written, to 25. TATTERSALL'S—THURSDAY. The room was very thinly attended, and the betting too flat and unimportant even to permit a regular quotation. The only bets we have heard were 1000 to 30 against Bokhara, 1200 to 800 on Wardan against Grey Milton, and 200 even on Muley Ishmael against Launcelot, and the same on him against Glenorchy (in one bet ;) 10 to 1 was offered against Lord Jersey's lot (take 11 to 1,) 17 to 1 each against the An gelica colt, Launcelot, and Warden, and 25 to 1 against Grey Milton.—On the Oaks, 3 to 1 was offered against Crucifix, not p.p., and 4 to 1 against her, p p. It is a singular circumstance, that among the candidates for municipal honours at Cambridge, last week, there were no less than six brewers. A grand masonic festival, by the freemasons of Durham and Northumberland, will be given to the Duke of Sussex during his stay at Lambton Castle. ACCIDENT AT SEA.—The people of the Duchess of Lan caster steamer had the satisfaction of rescuing a fellow crea ture from drowning during one of the voyages of the vessel hence to Liverpool. It appears that a pilot or fishing boat had capsised in a squall, but righted again. One of the two men on board sunk, but the other contrived to regain the boat, and held 6n till the Duchess came up.—Lancaster Ga zette. MR. MALONE'S ADVENTURES-A DAY IN THE PH ENIX. " Well, sir," began he, "it is about four months I brought np to Dublin from Galway a little chesnut mare, with cropped ears and a short tail, square-jointed and rather low—just what you'd call a smart hack for going to cover with—a lively thing on the road with a light weight. Nobody ever suspected that she was a clean bred thing —own sister to Jenny, that won the Corinthians, and ran second to Giles for the Riddlesworth—but so she was, and a better bred mare never leaped the pound in Ballinasloe. Well, I brought her to Dublin, and used to ride her out two or three times a week, making little matches sometimes to trot—and for a thorough-bred she was a clipper at trotting—to trot a mile or so on the grass—another day to gallop the length of the nine acres opposite the Lodge—and then sometimes, back her for a ten pound note, to jump the biggest furze bush that could be found—all of wh' 7h she could do with ease, nobody thinking, all the while, ti at, the cock-tailed pony was out of Scroggins, by a " Lamplighter mare." As every fellow that was beat to-day was sure to come back to-morrow, with something better, either of his own or a friend's, I had matches booked for every day in the week—for I always made a little boy that rode, win by half a neck, or a nostril, so we kept on day after day pocketing from ten to thirty pounds or thereabouts. " It was mighty pleasant while it lasted, for besides win ning the money I had my own fun laughing at the spoonies that never could book my bets fast enough.—Young infantry officers and the junior bar—they were for the most part mighty nice to look at, but very raw about racing. How long I might have gone on this way I cannot say ; but one morning I fell in with a fat, elderly gentleman, in shorts and gaiters, mounted on a dun cob pony, that was very fidgety and hot-tempered, and appeared to give the rider a great deal of uneasiness. " He's a spicy hack you're on, Sir,' said I, ' and has ago in him, I'll be bound.' " I ray they think he has,' said the old gentleman, half testily. " ' And can trot a bit, too.' " 'Twelve Irish miles in 50 minutes, with my weight.' Here he looked down at a paunch like a sugar hogshead. " ' May be be's not bad across a country,' said. I, rather to humour the old fellow, who, I saw, was proud of his pony. " I'd like to see his match, that's all.' Here he gave a rather contemptuous glance at my hack. " Well, one word led to another, and it ended at last in our booking a match, with which one party was no less pleased than the other. It was this ; each was to ride his own horse, starting from the school in the park, round the Fifteen Acres, outside the Monument, and back to the start —just one heat, about a mile and a half--the ground good, and only soft enough. In consideration, however, of his greater weight, I was to give odds in the start ; and as we could not well agree on how much, it was at length decided that he was to get away first, and I to follow as fast as I could, after drinking a pewter quart of Guinness's double stout—droll odds, you'll say, but it was the old fellow's own thought, and as the match was a soft one I let him have his way. The next morning the Phoenix was crowded as if for a re view. There were all the Dublin notorieties, swarming in barouches, and tilburies, and outside jaunting cars—smart clerks in the Post-office, mounted upon kicking devils from Dycer's and Lalouette's stables—attorney's wives and daugh ters from York-street, and a stray doctor or so on a hack that looked as if it had been lectured on for the six winter months at the College of Surgeons. My antagonist was half an hour late, which time I occupied in booking bets on every bide of me—offering odds of ten, fifteen, and at last to tempt the people, twenty-five against the dun. At last the fat gentleman came up on a jaunting car, followed by a groom leading the cob. I wish you heard the cheer that greeted him on his arrival, for it appeared he was a well-known character in town, and much in favour with the mob. When he got off the car, he bundled into a tent, followed by a few of his friends, where they remained about five minutes, at the end of which he came out in full racing costume—blue and yel low striped jacket, blue cap and,feathers—looking as funny a figure as ever you set eyes upon. I now thought it time to throw off my white surtout, and show out in pink and orange, the colors I bad been winning in for two months past. While some of the party were sent on to station themselves at diffe rent places round the Fifteen Acres, to mark out the course, my fat friend was assisted into his saddle, and he gave a short preliminary gallop of about a hundred yards or so that set us all a-laughing. The odds were now fifty to one in my favour, and I gave them wherever I could find takers. ' With you, Sir, if you please, in pounds, and the gentleman in the red whiskers, too, if he likes—very well, in half sovereigns, if you prefer it.' So I went on betting on every side till the bell rang to mount. As I knew 1 had plenty of time to spare, I took little notice, and merely giv ing a look to my girths, I continued leisurely booking my bets. At last the time came, and at the word Away !' off went the fat gentleman on the dun, at a spluttering gallop, that flung the mud on every side of us, and once more threw us all a laughing. I waited patiently till be got near the upper end of the Park, taking bets every minute ; and now that he was away, every one offered to wager. At last, when I had let him get nearly half round, and found no more money could be had, I called out to his friends for the porter, and throwing myself into the saddle, gathered up the reins in my hand. The crowd fell back on each side, while from the tent I have already mentioned, out came a thin fellow with one eye, with a pewter quart in his hand : he lifted it up towards me, and I took it ; but what was my fright to find that the porter was boiling, and the vessel so hot I could hardly hold it. I endeavoured to drink, however : the first mouthful took all the skin off my lips and tongue—the second half choked, and the third nearly threw me into an apoplectic fit—the mob cheering all the time like devils. Meantime, the old fellow had reached the furze, and was going along like fun. Again I tried the porter, and a fit of coughing came on that lasted five minutes. The pewter was now so hot that the edge of the quart took away a piece of my mouth at every effort. I ventured once more, and with the desperation of a madman I threw down the hot liquid to its last drop. • My head reeled—my eyes glared—and my brain was on fire. I thought I beheld fifty fat gentlemen galloping on every side of me, and all the sky raining jackets in blue and yellow. Half mechanically I took the reins, and put spurs to my horse ; but before I got well away, a loud cheer from the crowd assailed me. I turned and saw the dun coming in at a floundering gallop, 'covered with foam, and so dead blown that' neither himself nor the rider could have got twenty yards farther. The race was, however, won. My odds were lost to every man on the field, and worse than all, I was so laughed at, that I could not venture out in the streets, without hearing allusions to my misfortune.—Con fessions of Harry Lorrequer, in the University Magazine for November. STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS.—This week has been unprecedently dull, and as ;here seems no reasonable prospect of amendment for some ,ime to come, manufacturers are seriously thinking, or rather will be compelled, further to limit, the productions of each workman. Whether this stagnation arises from the news brought by the Liverpool, or from apprehensions of measures now in operation by the bank, or through both combined, it is hard to state ; but never was there less doing in the recol lection of any one in the trade. A further limitation as to the productions of each workman seems the only remedy for such a state of things—a sad prospect for the poor. BRADFORD MARKET. — The market today was more than usually depressed, the recent arrivals from America having for a time, and it is to be libped but for a short time; checked the enterprising spirit of our merchants. Very few sales of manufactured goods were effected, and no alteration can be noted in prices. The yarn market scarcely underwent any variation ; certainly it exhibited no improvement. The prices of combing wool of the middle and inferior qualities continue firm, but, for the superior sorts there is very little demand, and prices tend downwards. BARNSLEY LINEN TRADE.—The borne trade remains moderately steady with a fair demand. The drill houses are in the midst of their season, and are working long hours. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov. B.—There has been generally more doing in all descriptions of combing wool s this week at former quotations. For clothing wool there continues a moderate inquiry at the reduced rates; but scarcely any demand for blanket wools, except of the best descriptions. Prices are nominally the same. DEwssualr.—The demand for goods at our Blanket Hall, on Monday, was rather more limited than of late. The for mer prices of blankets were scarcely maintained, and very little business was done in shoddies and other descriptions of goods. HECKMONDWIKE. — The Blanket Hall continues to be but thinly attended by the merchants, in consequence of which prices are on the decline. ROCHDALE MARKET, Nov. 4 . — There has been a very dull market again to-day, with a ve r y li m it e d d eman d f or flannels of all kinds. Those manufacturers who have made sales have been obliged to take less money than last week. When trade is anything like brisk, November has been gene rally considered a busy month for the flannel manufacturer; and the demand has usually continued good till the middle of December. This year a fair business has been doing during the summer months, and up to the beginning of October; but since then it has been growing considerably worse, and if no change takes place, we fear the flannel weaver may expect a severe winter. The wool-market has been heavy, with prices rather on the decline. DUNDEE TRADE.—We can as yet state no improvement in our commercial relations. There is no appearance of a fall in the prices of raw materials in the foreign markets, while the prices of yarns and linens remain stationary here. The manufacturing of cotton-bagging, at one time a staple article of our trade, is at a complete stand, with little hope of any revival; as it can be purchased cheaper and of better quality in Russia, where the raw material is grown, and labour can be had at a lower rate. It is also alleged that our manufacturers have done themselves an irreparable injury by using jute and other rubbish in the making of this article. — Dundee Courier. CONCERNING CATS.—We lords of creation seldom love cats. Most women do—and no wonder : both are graceful aturboth domestic; not to mention that they both scratch (libellous!) Still they have an authority or two among us to quote in their favour; no less a person than Mahomet him self patronised the breed, and if his disciples " have writ their annals true," the said prophet actually allowed his feline favourite to turn the breast of his robe into a nursery for his purring progeny ! (not so exactly—he cut off the cor ner of his garment, rather than disturb the cat asleep upon it!) . Only fancy the Founder of the Faithful with a bosom full of kittens ! * * Southy kept a cat at Balliel—or if he did'nt he wrote lines to one as if he did (one never knows when to believe a poet); and he praises the said cat, real or imaginary, for being " a domestic beast." Well, the said laureate was a democratic young gentleman enough in those days—but he knowS better now : no doubt he got well scratched one fine morning, and discovered all of a sudden that demoCracy in theory was a far finer thing than de mocracy in practice. Scott, even—the dog-loving and dog loved Scott—admitted in his latter days a sneaking kindn ess for pussy. " The greatest advance of age," says he, " which I have yet found, is liki ng a ca t , an an i ma l w hi c h I detested, and becominc , fond of a garden, an a r t which I de s pi se d."— Blackwood'elliagazine. [To which we may add of another poet, Moore, that he is fond of the gambols of kittens.] MATHEWS'S MYSTERIOUS DOMESTIC. — On the p ea of liking characters about him, he kept a man for a long time, in the quality of dresserat the theatre, whose self-importance was his best recommendation ; he unconsciously amused though he as often teazed his master by his peculiar manner. Like all blockheads, his gravity was profound ; he was fond of " adding weight to trifles" when he could ; and all this was very diverting to his employer when no anxiety was likely to be touched upon. Above all, he loved a " misery " would rather than not have a grievance to relate ; his face was dole ful and the expressive " title to a tragic volume." His mas ter bbristened him Batt Owlett, from his love of the dismals, which were in general elicited by the most trivial causes . . For example :—One night, while my husband was under the most intense anxiety about the state of Charles's health (who was then extremely ill in Italy) and painfully alive to every look or word that might seem to relate to the sufferer, he went to perform at the Adelphi, in "The May Queen," with spirits unusually depressed : "Batt" met him at the door of his dressing-room, with face elongated and eyes cast down, and addressed him in a hollow impressive tone with, "I'm sorry to say, sir, that I have some very unpleasant news to com municate to you!" " Good God ! ' exclaimed his - master, sinking upon a chair, " t e ll me a t once, don't keep me in suspense." " Well, then, sir, Tra sorry to .say—l can't find your tinker's hat anywhere!" The next night he met his master with less of misery , but with a brow which meant suspieion in its worst form : and Mr. Mathews was thus sa luted by Batt—" Sir, I have something very extraordinary to tell you." " Well?" " You will be surprised to hear, sir, that by a very strange coincidence I have found your tinker's hat ! &pipping ladelligentt. FRIDAY, NOVgSIBER B.—Wind S.R. Rain.

The price of Butter has at present a downward tendency, the market being evidently operated upon by an extreme tightness in money matters. Fine Belfast and favorite South of Ireland brands may be quoted at 90s to 91s, other kinds 85s upwards. Pickled But ter very dull, and the price is nominally 84s.—We see no alteration in the barreled Provision market, except that holders have consi derably relaxed from their strict adhesion to extreme rates.—Bacon is in moderate demand. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 11. There was, to-clay, a tolerably large supply of Beasts at our market, but, as on former days, there was a great scarcity of the primest quality of Beef, which was readily sold at an advance of os per head from our last quotations—say 6d. Second and inferior Beef was a little better sold, and mostly cleared off at the close of the day, at from 5d to Sid. The number of Sheep was large, and the trade dull, prime Wethers did to Old ; second quality and Ewes sid to 6d, and at the close of the day a large number was turned out unsold. Beasts, 1457 ; Sheep, 6402. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, Nov. 9.

Flour has been in good demand, and the sales of United States have been at 44s to 45s per barrel. A few cargoes of new Oats have arrived, but this grain has not sold so freely 4s to 4s 2d has been paid for Irish new. The market is nearly bare of malting Barley, and 50s to 52s per Imperial qr, is demand for line French and English samples; feeding qualities bring 4s Gd to is Oct per 601bs. Both Beans and Peas have been in request at Is to 2s per Imperial quarter advance, the former real izing 49s to 535, and the latter 47s to 48s per Imperial quarter. LIVERPOOL PR: CES CURRENT.
