*err* PETITION TO FASHION. (From the John Bull.) Dread goddess, on whose altars blaze Flames, bright as those of vestal days, Round which the world doth throng, Do, in these times of brisk Reform, Attend to my remonstrance warm 'Gainst petticoats too long. Think how variety must win ; A nod from you keeps all within The bounds of taste and grace ; Then, Fashion, pray once more impart Some hint, some guess, what ancles smart Match many a lovely face. It is not every well-drest form Can brave the sunshine or the storm. On four light wheels supported; Many must take the air, I ween, On that same plain, ten-toed machine, Which Eve in Eden sported. Now see in yonder miry way, How fair pedestrians oft display Such quantities of stocking ; Just to maintain secure and dry A load of draggling drapery, It really is quite shocking ! We boast a Queen, to whom belongs What Frenchmen call lrs pieds mignons, And hail with admiration ; Do, Fashion, for her Royal sake, Some sensible improvement make, Suggest some slight mutation. But, recollect, 1 don't exhort That petticoats be really short, So rudely do not shift 'em • Yet though we like things fu ll and round Reduce the garments' mystic bound, Just off the instep lift 'em. And then, trade's int'rests still defend By working in, at th' upper end, What ladies call the gathers; The quantity removed below, Will yield a well-shaped Turkish flow, More warm, too, in all weathers. So, to the curious eyes of beaux, Once more, yet modesty, disclose, In all their wonted neatness, The glancing foot, the ancle clean, Which mark combin'd with form and mein, The British Fair's completeness. LITERARY NOTICES. The Church of England Magazine. Part 38. 1839. We cannot speak of this admirable periodical in any other terms than those of cordial and unqualified ap probation. Its cheapness is unparalleled, and the great variety of its contents renders it one of the most attrac tive of the existing religious periodicals. The essays, sermons, obituaries, and miscellaneous extracts, which adorn its pages, are characterised by great simplicity of language, and a tone of fervent piety. The doc trines inculcated in this truly useful and valuable ma gazine are strictly orthodox. By using the term or thodox we mean to say that they are in strict accord ance with the evangelical creed of the Church of Eng land, and that they also agree with the plain and pal pable language of the Holy Scriptures. Among the sermons in the present part we are glad to recognise one from the pen of the Rev. John Hill, the able Vice- Principal of St. Edmund Hall, Oxford, in which the criminality of withholding any portion of the Word of God from the people is animadverted upon in terms of the strongest reprobation. Thi s sermon will form an admirable antidote to the errors of the Puseyites on the subject of the atonement. A Vision of Death's Destruction, and other Poems. By Thomas John Ouseley. Third Edition. Lon don : Hamilton, Adams, and Co. 1839. We have already expressed ourselves in terms of warm admiration of this volume of poetry. We are glad to find that it has already attained a third edition. This is an unequivocal proof of the value which the reading public have placed upon its merits. The pre sent edition contains several additional pieces, which have considerably augmented its value. Mr. Ouseley is entitled to rank very high among the poets of the present day. In all the poems which he has published we recognise great originality of thought, depth of sentiment, and vigour of imagination. The favourite topics of the author seem to be those of a gloomy and grand description. In the tone of religious feeling which pervades this volume, we are strongly reminded of the devotional poetry of Mrs. Hemans. Mr. Ouse ley is destined, we feel assured, to enjoy a high degree of literary fame. British India. Addresses delivered before the Members of the Society of Friends, at their Yearly Meeting, on the Ist of June, 1839. London : Clark and Baldwin. These addresses dilate upon the duty and interest of Great Britain to consider the condition and claims of her possessions in the East. They embody much useful information on the extent of our Eastern Em pire—the institutions of India—the British in India— famines in India—the disaffection of the natives—their depression and demoralization—the uncultivated lands of India—the taxation of the natives—their treatment by the British—the salt monopoly—the opium mono poly—slavery in India—commerce with India—toge ther with many other topics connected with the actual condition and susceptibility of improvement of our oriential possessions and tributaries. The Cotton Trade of India. London : A Spottiswood. 1839. This tract is in answer to the question—" Can India not supply England with Cotton ?" We consider the =. answer to be perfectly satisfactory, and entitled to the most serious consideration of the merchants and ma il,' nufacturers of this country. The author recommends nis . : l the manufacturers and merchants of Manchester, Glas , raw, Paisley, Liverpool, and L on d on , t o un i te w i t h t h e fiends of India in other places, to claim for India an ,equitable and permanent settlement of the land tax, and the establishment of the means of transporting • from one place to another the abundant produce of the iLs and then they need not look to a foreign nation to • -:meet their necessities, but, from their own eastern do minions, obtain a certain, sufficient, and exhaustless • supply. The New Sporting Magazine. July, 1839. London Spiers. This number contains several articles of first rate merit. The " Handley Cross Hounds—Mr. Jorrock's Journal"—has afforded us, as we doubt not it will many others, the heartiest laugh that we have enjoyed for many a day. There is much useful information in the " Willowdale Hall Fishing Code." " A Whim of the Winds and Waves" is a whimsical production. Who can help admiring the rich and original humour of the " American Turf and its Chronicling ?" Among the solid and instructive articles in this number of this truly spirited magazine we would particularly enume rate the following, which cannot be perused without advantage :—" Notitia Venatica"—" The Fly-Fisher's Text BOok"—" The Noble Science"—" The British Angler's Manual"—and " The Sporting Looker-On and Reflector." The number is embellished by two beautiful engravings : one,Bloomsbu r y, the portrait of the winner of the Derby Stakes at Epsom this year, and the other, a portrait of " A Warrener's Dog." Don Juan Junior : by Byron's Ghost ! Edited by G. R. Wythen Baxter, Esq. London : Thomas. The less we say of this publication the better. The notes which it contains are mostly of a very objection able character. Its political allusions constitute the least obnoxious positions of this work, and those are deeply tinged with liberalism. The Illustrated Shakspere, revised from the best Autho rities. Part 2. June, 1839. London : Tyas. This excellent edition of the imperishable works of " Avon's Bard" is proceeding successfully. When completed, it will contain nearly one thousand engra vings. The specimens in the part before us justify us in characterising it as the most splendid edition that has ever been given to the public. The designs are by Kenny Meadows, and the engravings ar e execu t e d by - Orrin Smith. The present part contains " The Tempeat," with twenty illustrations. The annotations and introductory remarks on the plays are extremely valuable. We may add, that this admirable edition of Shakspere is so cheap as to be placed within the reach of all classes of the community. It deserves a wide circulation, which we hope it will obtain. STATE OF TRADE. Ltzns.—The markets since our last have been rather more animated than during the preceding week, the princi pal demand being for heavy Winter goods. The stock of goods on hand is considerably small, and the workmen em ployed in the finishing departments are not so busy as they were a month or two ago. We have no alteration to note with regard to prices. —Leeds Intelligencer. BRADFORD. —There is little to notice differing from what we reported last week. Though in some quarters there ap pears an anxiety to do business, it is done, if done at all, at ruinously low prices.—lbid. BRADFORD, THURSDAY AFTERNOON. The continued downward tendency of long wool, has the effect of lessening confidence, and the amount of business transacted is conse quently decreasing. In Yarn there is no inquiry, which may be attributed to the curtailment of production along with the remarkably low price that Yarn has been realising, the manufacturers being fully convinced that they have been obtaining them considerably below the cost to the spinner. There has been a very flat market for Piece goods to-day : prices are without alteration.—Bradford Observer. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JULY 12.—The transac tions in combing wools during the week have been very limited, and to effect sales a further reduction must be sub mitted to ; clothing and blanket wools continue in fair de mand, at p revious prices. YonaWOOL MARKET, JULY 11.— Our market to-day has had a limited supply, most of which is sold up at prices nominal upon our last week report. DONCASTER WOOL MARKET, JULY 6. —We had nearly 300 sheets of Wool pitched in this day's market, and a great number of buyers from various parts of the West Riding. The Wes were heavy, in consequence of a reduction of 6d. per stone being persisted in by the dealers, and which was ultiteately.submitted to. A number of lots remained unsold. The following are the prices :—all Hog, 19s 6d ; Half-and a.lf, I8s; Ewe, 16s; Docks, 8s 6d per stone. On Tuesday se'nnight, a fine salmon-trout, about 3lbs. weight, was caught in one of the iron boxes belonging to the dredging machines now working near the mouth of the river Wesr .--Durkug .4dVertitter. • • CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE QUEEN'S ANSWER TO THE PEERS. (From the Morning Herald) The answer which the Queen's ministers put in her Majesty's mouth, in answer to the address of the House of Lords on the government scheme of national edu cation, is worthy of the spirit in which that scheme was conceived and propounded. It is a Jesuit scheme, contrived with the view of undermining the religion of the foremost people of the Reformation, and eminently jesuitical and evasive is the answer which has been de livered from the throne to the assembled Peers of Eng land, deprecating a project so fraught with danger to our Protestant faith and interests. It is one of the lamentable consequences of the con tinuance in office of a ministry that neither know how to rule or resign, that the naturally candid and ingenu ous disposition of our maiden Queen is imposed upon, and her unsuspecting sincerity is made subservient to the trickery and fraudulent policy of a set of advisers who have resolved the noble science of government into the lowest arts of deception. That the Queen may soon be delivered out of such hands, and her na tive virtues saved from the contaminating influence of such councils, is the earnest and ardent prayer of all her Majesty's subjects who feel for the dignity of the throne and the honour of the country. Her Majesty has been instructed by her ministers to say, " I am ever ready to receive the advice and assist ance of the House of Lords, and to give to their re commendations the attention which their authority justly deserves ; at the same time I cannot help ex pressing my regret that you should have thought it ne cessary to take such a step on the present occasion." This is a civil rebuke, but a rebuke it most certainly is. That the Sovereign should acknowledge the authority of the House of Lords, and in the same breath express regret on account of the respectful and constitutional exercise of that authority, in defence of the endangered interests of religion, is to civilly repudiate the proffered counsel of that august body, touching the highest in terests of the state. It is true, ministers did not think it prudent or poli tic to advise that the House of Lords should meet with the same treatment as that conferred on the corpora tion of London on a memorable occasion, and which was described in the Common Council by the unpo lished, but very expressive, word, "snubbed." The corporation of London avenged themselves of the mi nisters, through whom the " snubbing" came, by kick ing out, by a vast majority, the proposed sycophantic address in support of the bed-chamber plot. The lords can, if they please, take another step, which ministers would have still more reason to regret than the ad dress against the jesuitical education scheme. They can address the Sovereign for the dismissal of the tricky and incapable advisers who surround the throne only to betray the best interests of the country. These tricky and incapable ministers, who, with a majority of five on their bill for suspending the Jamaica constitution, admitted that they had lost the confidence of parliament and the country, dared to make a money vote a cover for a most insidious attack upon the re formed protestant faith—dared to put aside altogether on a question of such imperial importance as that of national education the LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY of the House of Lords—dared to persist in their vile scheme, though carried by only a majority of TWO in the commons, and denounced by a majority of 111 in the lords. Feeble and pusillanimous as they are, the Melbourne ministers have dared all this, and now they DARE advise their young and inexperienced Sovereign to tell the assembled peers of England—the pillars of her throne—to EXPRESS REGRET that they should have thought it necessary to exercise their constit u ti ona l authority in defence of the principles which placed the sceptre of these realms in the hands of her Majesty's family. Ministers may profess as loudly as they please, in a speech from the throne, their regard for the interests of the established church Men who made it an avowed merit of their policy some years ago, when their ma jorities were larger than at present, " to inflict a heavy blow and great discouragement on protestantism," can care nothing for the established church, which is the great bulwark of the protestant faith in Europe.— Their celebrated " appropriation clause" evinced a sin gular regard for the interests and stability of the na tional establishment ! Their selecting a person for the lord lieutenancy of Ireland whose chief recommenda tion was his declaration of interminable warfare against the persecuted protestant church of that country, showed how deeply they are impressed with the " sacred obli gation" of mantaining the protestant religion as by law established, and to whose protection the Queen has pledged the solemn assurance of her C ORONATION OATH. The education plot—hatched by Jesuits, and smug gled through one half the parliament under the cover of a money grant—is another overt act of the attach ment of those dishonest and despised ministers to the established religion of the country. No doubt the people so understood it when they saluted them with hootings and groanings yesterday, which must have penetrated the recesses of the palace. Such are the men who induce the Queen to say "It is with a deep sense of that duty (which binds me to the support of the established church) that I have thought it right to appoint a committee of the privy council to superintend the distribution of the grants voted by the House of Commons for public education." In other words, the ministers tell the country that their regard and reve rence for the established church has induced them to transfer from themselves in the cabinet to themselves in the privy council a power which they have most unconstitutionally usurped—a power belonging only to the WHOLE LEGISLATURE, which, according to the part allotted it by those ministers, is only allowed to register the decrees of a committee of the privy council. Thus the protestant religion and the constitution are attacked together. The committee of the privy council will itself register the decrees of the Jesuit supporters of the government—and England will no doubt have a branch of the Romish college de propagandd fide very near the throne. What is parliament to be allowed to do? We have it in the answer from the throne—" Of the proceedings of the committee (of the privy council) annual reports will be laid before parliament, and the House of Lords will be enabled to exercise its judgment upon them." So then the House of Lords will be allowed to exercise their judgment upon the "educational grants," after those grants have been made, and to exercise an empty right of criticising the application of the public money after the money has been distributed. This is surely a gracious boon of her Majesty's ministers to both houses of parliament. Under this solemn mockery of the legislative power of parliament the Douay Bible and the Rhemish Tes tament, with their corrupted texts and persecuting an notations, are to be made part and parcel of the public education of a people to whom the reformed faith of Christianity is dear for its own sake, and dear for the blood of the martyrs who died to deliver England from the s grievous and degrading bondage of the papal su premacy. The distinctions between religious truth and error—between pure religion and superstition—between scriptural purity and corrupt human invention—are to be obliterated that whiggism may still obtain the sup part of a faction that are now labouring indefatigably to effect in England a COUNTER -REFORMATION. THE LORDS' PROCESSION. (From the Morning Herald of Saturday.) The depth of the discount to which Whig •` popularity" has sunk was manifested on Thursday in so unequivocal a man ner, in St. James's Park, on the occasion of the House of Lords going to address the throne, that the government press, not being able to " lie away" the notorious fact, adopts ano ther line in the system of " enormous lying." The weight of public opinion, which fell crushingly on the ministers, was, forsooth, the purchased expression of a hired mob. Pur chased, indeed ! Why, the respectable assemblage that cheered the conservative lords, and beneath whose spontane ous, heartfelt, and indignant execrations, the bed-chamber ministers cowered, were as incapable of being purchased as the treasury journals are of telling truth. The whigs have been accustomed to buy the fetid breath of hireling ragamuffins to serve a political purpose ; but in the park on Thursday were assembled to witness the magni ficent procession of England's peers, the respectable middle classes, whom the whigs have been particularly anxious, by every species of cajolery, to enlist in their service. They felt on Thursday that those middle classes had cast them off, for we venture to say, that taking any promiscuous crowd of the same rank of society in England, the despised ministers, who cling to office by the apron strings of the ladies of the bed chamber, would have received the same treatment at their hands—and notwithstanding the affected incredulity of their sycophantic journals, they know it. On Thursday they looked like men who felt not only that their unpopularity was " no mistake," but that they deserved what they got. Why did those wretched ministers fly from the palace, like fugitives conscious of merited disgrace, if they did not feel that the unpleasant and castigatory reception which they met with on their arrival was the expression of cordial, ear nest, honest disapprobation ? We never heard a burst of execration from a popular assemblage more truly heart-in spired and spontaneous than that which greeted Lord John Russell, and astounded the ears of Lords Howick and Pal merston. We did not see Lord Melbourne arrive at the palace ; but we saw him go away under the circumstances described in our paper of yesterday ; and never did a fribble premier encounter a more terrific storm of popular execra tion. It is in vain for the treasury journals to endeavour to conceal from their employers that they are universally hated and despised. Nor is that wonderful ; for they themselves very lately acknowledged they had lost the confidence of parliament and the country, and they certainly have not by their bed-chamber plot recovered that lost confidence. They may cling on to office a little longer, but to recover from the state of public hatred and contempt into which they have sunk is utterly impossible. The popular manifestation of Thursday was the natural emotion of a moral, a Christian, and manly people, disgusted with the baseness, the tyranny, and the utter incapacity of the Melbourne whigs—the vassals of the Irish agitator, the destroyers of England's glory. EXTRAORDINARY COW AND CALF. — Though Mr Starr, of the More, near Bishop's Castle, has retired from the farming business, he still retains his usual predeliction for having a few of the " right sort," viz., the old smoky-faced Montgo meryshire, crossed with Hereford, not Durham, as reported in some of the papers ; and from a cow of this description, Mr. Starr, about a fortnight ago, had a calf of the following extraordinary dimensions :—Height, at the shoulders, 3ft. 3 in. ; length from the end of the tail to the nose horizontally, 6 ft. 4 in. ; and its weight 136 lbs. After the calf had sucked, and a bowl-dishfull of beasting had been given to the cow, she rewarded her master with a large stable bucket-full of the same nutritious beverage ; and at this period, a fortnight after calving, she gives twelve quarts per day after suckling the calf. This surprising cow was bred by Mr. Richards, of Dolarddyn, near Welshpool ; and the sire of the calf is from the celebrated stock of Mr. Robert Luther, of Acton, and is now in the possession of Mr. George Starr, jun., of Owlbury, near Bishop's Castle.—Seaviats Journal. GLASGOW, PAISLEY, AND GREENOCK RAILWAY, (From the Greenock Advertiser.) On Friday week the statutory half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this line, was held in the Sheriff Court Hall ; Robert Dow Ker, Esq. in the chair. Captain Huish having read the notice calling the meeting, and also the report, The Chairman then said, the Report now read is so full as to leave little for me to say, except to congratulate the meet ing on the satisfactory progress of the works, and the pros perous state of the company's affairs. Three years have now elapsed since it was first resolved to engage in this important and spirited undertaking. At the public meeting which took place on that occasion it was calculated that a period of four years from that date would be necessary for its completion ; and this promises to prove, as near as possible, correct. Two years were occupied in framing the bill and obtaining the act of incorporation, and with preliminary measures. It is exactly one year since the commencing hand was put to the work, and I have no doubt one year more, or less than that, will suffice to bring it into full, and I trust successful operation. Looking back to the past at this distance of time, it is pleas ing to contrast our present position and prospects with the early predictions of our opponents, and the fears of our oppo nents, and the fears of our friends. It is true that we have been forced into a heavy and vexatious expense in resisting the opposition of some, and contending with the unfriendli ness of others, from whom we might have looked for support and encouragement. I say vexatious, because had the par ties in question seen fit to seek the adjustment of their claims by friendly, in place of coercive means, these claims would have been equitably settled, without subjecting the company to much unnecessary outlay, and without subjecting them selves to the necessity of being told by parliament, and the country, that any effort to arrest the progress of railways, is, in other words, a vain attempt to arrest the career of human improvement. It is entirely a mistake to look upon this railway as if it would be subservient to local interest merely, or was dependent upon local resources for its support. It aims at a higher object, and will accomplish higher ends. It is impossible to question the good' that will be done by this and the other Scottish Railways to Scotland, and in particular to the cities, towns, and districts of their several localities, or to question the vast resources of these localities for the employment of railways ; but still the whole resources of these railways will ,never be fully developed, nor will they attain to that highest degree of importance which awaits them, until, by a connecting link with the railways of England, they become in reality a great national work, part of a great whole, extending from the centre to the extremities of the country, and bringing the metropolis within reach of the remotest hamlet in the kingdom. It is this universality which gives to railways their most beneficial character. It is earnestly wished, and I am happy to say, confidently exted, that this connecting link, so desirable, will ere long be accomplished, and when it is, vast national benefits must follow. and a great increase of employment to the railways of both kingdoms. Another topic, it is of importance should engage the public attention and that of the railway company, vitally connected as it is, directly and indirectly, with the interests of both—l mean the coal trade. Here the price of coal is, and has always been, excessive, arising not from the cost of production, but want of competition in the market, and expensive carriage, being brought distances, varying from 25 miles, the nearest distance, to 44 miles, the greatest. The consumpt of this market is 70,000 tons annually, 16,000 tons of which are exported ; but the latter could be increased without limit, were the price such as to admit of competition with other ports, as vessels are constantly sailing to all parts of the world, and would ballast with coal in place of stones. If a merchant has two ships, one at a cheap coal port, and the other here, he gets the one chartered at 3s. per ton more than the other, because the cheap coal renders the one so much more valuable to the freighter than the other. One manufactory has been shut for some years owing to the high price of coal. Another manufactory, after 20 year's working, was wound up, with a loss to the proprietors, which would have yielded a profit had their coals been 2s. or 3s. less. I know a house here engaged in building ships in America, who get themselves supplied with chain cables from a port in the North of England, in place of on the spot, where they are as cheap, simply because they can fill the vessel with coal on such terms as reduces the price of the iron 20 to 30 per cent. I mention these facts to show the injurious bearing which the high price of coal has upon the trade of this port ; and now that the best remedy is in process of being applied to correct the evil, viz., the intersection of coal fields by railways, I hope the effect will be soon apparent in bringing a larger supply to market by reducing the price ; and I shall take it upon me to say, that every facility, in respect of convenience and moderate carriage will be given to encourage a trade in coals along this railway. The subject of carrying the rails to the quays is of great importance. The directors have given to it much attention, but have not yet come to a decision. Two elements enter into the question ; on the one hand, the undoubted facility to sea-faring passengers passing and re passing to and from Glasgow ; on the other, the expense, which is considerable, The shareholders may rest assured that due weight will be given to each of these considerations, and that the question will be finally determined by what ap pears best for the interests of the undertaking. The sug gestion of a railway through the Valley of Leven is for the consideration of the public. From careful inquiries there appears to be a traffic su ffi c i ent to remunerate for the cost and maintenance of a railway. If carried into effect it would certainlX be a public advantage, and undoubtedly a produc tive auxiliary to our railway. In the list of expenditure, under the head of police, is included the sum of £l9 paid to a missionary for labouring among the workmen at Bishop ton. About 1000 men are collected in that neighbourhood. The Rev. Mr. Stewart, finding it impossible to accommodate so many in the parish church, proposed to the directors that a missionary should be appointed specially for the workmen, and offered, if the company would contribute £3O, to raise other £3O, so as to make his salary £6O a-year. Mr. Stewart's offer was readily agreed to, and Mr. M`Master labours with ability, faithfulness, and zeal. He preaches both in Gaelic and English. His labours are very useful, not only in pro moting good order and correct conduct, but in giving that religious instruction of which the men deprived themselves in leaving their homes, and which it is of so much importance they should enjoy. I am sure there is not a single share holder who will object to this allotment of a small portion of their funds for so excellent and worthy an object. (Applause.) The number of workmen employed upon the whole line at present amounts to 3500. At last public meeting the resolu tion of the board was announced that they would recive pay ment of shares in full, allowing interest at 5 per cent. on all balances, after payment of the calls. In conformity with this resolution 644 shares have been paid up, 566 of which are by local proprietors. I cannot conclude without paying a well-merited compliment to the shareholders for the prompt manner, almost unexampled, in which the calls have been answered. This promptitud e h as ass i s t e d materially in pro secuting the work with energy and vigour, and it has given confidence to the directors in meeting many difficulties, be cause they knew they were supported by a list of shareholders, in point of means and respectability, not surpassed by any public undertaking in the kingdom. I had full expectation of being able to announce the presence of Mr. Locke, as he intended being here; but a summons to wait upon a parlia mentary committee has detained him in London. From this unavoidable cause we are deprived of the pleasure of seeing him at the meeting to-day, and which I am sure he will him self regret. THE LORDS' PROCESSION TO THE PALACE (From the Morning Herald of Friday) The spectacle presented yesterday in St. James's Park was one indeed of peculiar and splendid interest. A procession of the lords to address the throne against its ministers is an event of very rare occurrence. But on the present occasion the historical importance of the event derived a moral charm from the object in view—the defence of the national religion, which greatly enhanced the interest of the scene. To the eye alone that scene was solemn and magificent. The lengthened line of superb equipages, drawn by elegantly caparisoned steeds, slowly approachin g th e p a l ace th roug h t h e majestic avenue of ancient elms in their summer verdure, had a most imposing appearance. The beauty of the day greatly set off the richness of a spectacle which, for chaste brilliancy, could not be paralleled in any other part of Europe. A numerous and respectable assemblage were attracted t o witness the processi on , w h o manifested their feelings with the frankness and fervour, but, at the same time, with the decent self-restraint that, even in moments of high political excitement, characterise John Bull. In the procession the greatest of England's peers, and the foremost man of all the world," was at first l oo k e d for in vain ; but just before the head of the cavalcade reached the palace gates, the carriage of that great man—need we name the Duke of Wellington ?—drove rapidly into the court yard, and the moment his grace was recognised, a burst of enthusiastic feeling welcomed the veteran warrior, whose name is identified with the glory of his country. Soon after wards, Lord John Russell was seen crouching in a corner of his carriage, and the reception which the mover of the " money grant" met with, cannot be better described than by the exclamation of one of the crowd, who, as soon as is lordship passed, cried out, " Well, I never heard so hearty a groaning as that in all my life. He'll remember that many a day." In fact, the groaning and hooting was like the blast of Fame's trumpet reversed. We can assure the Morning Chronicle that Lord John was not " mistaken for Sir Robert Peel." He ventured one peep from his carriage window, and looked far less like the great conservative leader, than like Faust's friend, Mephistophiles, very ill at ease. Lord Palmerston soon after received a similar salute, in which the word " Cupid" was very audible. Lord Normanby passed without much observation ; but the lord chancellor, we re gretted to find, was strongly hissed as he passed in the pro cession in his state coach. This could have only happened to that distinguished functionary as one of a government generally hated and despised ; for, personally, the lord chan cellor is a gentleman, and, professionally, one deserving of public respect. His lordship looked very much displeased and rather disconcerted at the reception which he encountered. We observed that in leaving the palace he went away in a private carriage, leaving the state coach to his secretary and mace-bearer, or some of his train, who had to encounter the hisses of those who did not know the lord chancellor's person. With the exception, however, of Lord John Russell, Lord Howick was the minister who received the largest share of hearty public disapprobation. On the other side, next to the Duke of Wellington, the venerable Archbishop of Canterbury was noticed with the most enthusiastic cheering. Great applause was also given to the Bishops of London and Exeter ; and, indeed, to all the bishops. We heard a spectator say—" This ought to compensate the bishops for their reception eight or nine years ago." Among the peers most applauded were Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Canterbury, the Duke of Buckingham, the Marquis of Londonderry, the Duke of Beaufort, the aged Lord Rolle, the Duke of Newcastle, Lord Kenyon, and Lord Shaftesbury. The Irish primate, Lord John Beresford, was also warmly applauded. At the departure from the palace the ministers, who left the last, received —more especially Lord John Russell and Lord Howick—a repetition of the unpleasant indications of unpopularity which they had previously to encounter. Lord Melbourne, either possessing more cunning or less nerve than his colleagues, remained behind for some time, thinking the crowd would pass away, but seeing his carriage in the court yard they obstinately declined to move without rendering due honours to this chief of the bed-chamber ministry. Even the band, and beef-eaters, and guard of honour, all moved off, but Lord Melbourne did not come. The crowd, how ever, would not stir, and at last the old fox was unearthed. The moment his carriage was seen leaving the palace-gates the groaning, hissing, and hooting conveyed to his ears the unwelcome tidings that even Lord John Russell was not the most unpopular man in England. The police kept close to his carriage, while he rapidly escaped from such unwelcome observation. THE FIRST SKEW BRIDGE IN EN GLAND.—A correspond ent of the Liverpool Mercury says, " I have lately read a re port of a trial at the last Lancaster assizes, respecting a bridge erected over the road at Galgate, on which occasion several eminent civil engineers were examined. Amongst them was the celebrated G. Stephenson, Esq., who is reported to have said that he is one of the first who built skew bridges, and he commenced on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. The necessity of avoiding curves on railways has suddenly brought these singular constructions into common use, and they are generally considered to have originated with railways ; but the old proprietors of the Lancaster Canal believe, that the first skew bridge in England was built by their resident en gineer, Mr. William Cartwright, on their canal, upwards of forty years ago. It is placed at Green Bank, in Preston, and the road to the Fylde passes over it. You are so well known as the recorder of all matters of ingenuity and curiosity, that I beg to ask if you are aware of any earlier bridge of the kind in England ?" We think it must be considerably more than forty years since the skew bridge over the river Medlock, in Oxford Road, connecting the townships of Manchester and Chorlton-on-Medlock, was built.—. Manchester Guardian. I SELECT EXTRACTS. HOOPING COUGH.—A plaster of gum albanum, applied to the chest, cures this complaint. —Medical Adviser. STRANGE BUT TRUE.—At Buenos Ayres so dense some times are the clouds of dust, as to produce total darkness ; and should rain fall in the mountains, it is converted, ere it reaches the ground, in a shower of mud. CURE FOR CATERPILLARS.—These prolific and destruc tive insects are so fond of a shrub called the Spindletree, that if orchards are surrounded with hedges formed from it, they attack the latter in preference to the trees, and may thus be readily discovered and destroyed. The most populous city of the kingdom of Greece is at present the capital of the island of Syra, which, during the revolution, was the principal seat of commerce. It contains 20,000 inhabitants and 4,000 houses, forming two towns, the old and new ; the latter surrounds the former which is built on a hill. GENOA new and extraordinary exhibition has taken place here at the theatre Gagudetti. The principal pupils of the deaf and dumb institution represented Monti's tragedy, Atistomeda, with the greatest success ! When will wonders cease ? The representation was for the benefit of the poor.— Foreign Quarterly Review. A TRAPPER'S FABLE.—A hare and a fox met one day on the west prairie, and after a long conversation they prepared to start upon their several routes. The hare pleased with the fox, lamented that they would in all probability separate for ever. " No, no," replied the fox, we shall meet again, never fear." " Where ?" inquired his companion. "In the hatter's shop, to be sure," rejoined the fox, tripping lightly away.—Diary in America. GERMAN PERIODICALS.—The German booksellers) ac cording to the Foreign Monthly Review) appear to be as much at a loss for titles for new works as those of this country sometimes are. Franz, of Munich, has announced a new pe riodical, to appear weekly, with the title of " Deutsche Thee blatter," German (Tea-leaves !) among, the contributors to which we find the names of Duke Maximilian of Bavaria, De la Motte Fouque F. von Schelling, and several other eminent writers. Dr. Thompson, who was a celebrated physician in his day, was remarkable for two things, viz. the slovenliness of his person, and his dislike to muffins, which he always reprobated as being very unwholesome. On his breakfastinc , one morn ing at LordMelcomb's, when Garrick was present, a plate of muffins being introduced, the doctor grew outrageous, and vehemently exclaimed, " Take away the muffins ! " " No, no," said Garrick, seizing the plate, and looking significantly at the doctor. "take away the ragamuffins." —P hysic and Physicians. EXERCISE OF GIRLS.—Boys are seldom injured by a want of sufficient exercise ; they are left more entirely to follow their inclinations, and are not,as is the case with girls, hedged in on every side with rules of gentility and decorum, which repress all tendencies to free and rapid motion, and make the movement of a party of boarding-school ladies more like a funeral procession than a number of young persons taking ex ercise and recreation. The slow pace at which it is considered genteel for ladies to walk affords exercise hardly sufficient to quicken the circulation of the blood, or to increase the warmth of the body, and is therefore, almost entirely useless.—Curtis on Health. REMEDY FOR THE CROUP.—This terrific disease, fatal in so many instances to children, might have been arrested, in many cases, where it has proved fatal, if parents would have ready, at all times, a phial containing two ounces of syrup of squills, forty grains of ipecacuanha, one grain tartar emetic ; and when the disease is announced by a hollow ringing cough, resembling rather a bark than a cough, give a teaspoonful of the above mixture every ten minutes, until free vomiting ensues. The prescription was obtained from an eminent physician, and is published for the benefit especially of parents and others in the country, not within the reach of immediate medical aid. It is but the common impulse of humanity to save life when we can, even though the patient be fated to en dure in afterlife, " the thousand ills that flesh is heir to."— Baltimore Chronicle. WHITTLING.—I may here just as well mention the custom of whittling, which is so common in the eastern states. It is a habit arising from the natural restlessness of the American, when he is not employed of cutting a piece of stick. or any thing else, with his knife. Some are so wedded to it from long custom, that if they have not a piece of stick to cut, they will whittle the backs of the chairs, or anything within their reach. A Yankee shown into a room to await the arrival of another, hss been known to whittle away nearly the whole of the mantle piece. Lawyers in court, whittle away at the tables before them ; and judges will cut through their own bench. In some courts they put aticks before noted whittlers to save the furniture. The down-easters, as the Yankees are termed generally, whittle when they are making a bargain, as it fills up the pauses, gives them time for reflection, and, moreover, prevents any examination of the countenance—for in bargaining, like in the game of brag, the countenance is carefully watched, as an index to the wishes.—Capt. Marry at's Diary in America. STUPENDOUS RAILROAD.—One of the most stupendous works of modern times is a projected railroad from Venice to Milan, connecting the seven richest and most populous cities with each other—Venice, Padua, Vicenza, Verona, Mantua, Brescia, and Milan ; the most gigantic portion will be the bridge over the Lagoons, connecting Venice with the main land. The length of the railroad will be 166 Italian (about the same in English) miles, passing through a population of 3,500,000, the seven cities having alone a population of 500,000, viz., Venice 120,000, Padua 44,000, Vicenza 50,000, Verona 46,000, Mantua 34,000, Brescia 42,000, and Milan 180,000 inhabitants, to which may be added 20,000 foreigners in Venice and Milan. It is calculated the transport, when completed, will average 1,800 persons, 1,500 tons of goods, and 1,000 tons of coals daily. SALT-WATER BANDAGES.—I have found such incalcu lable advantages from salt water bandages, that I would strongly urge the use of them in every stable. Soak linen or woollen bandages in salt and water, strong enough to float an egg, let every horse stand in them, and keep them con stantly moist by frequent application of the liquid, as it is in evaporation that the benefit consists. They will preserve good legs cool, and will freshen those that are stale, in a manner not to be expected f rom means so simple. They should be removed at night, or they will become dry and hot, thereby destroying their effect, if kept on too many hours without being renewed. I have said salt and water, because it is the immediate reach of every one, and maybe prepared ad libitum, by the boys who apply it.—The Noble Science. Boogs.—lt is calculated that the annual amount of books sent from England to France is about 120,000 francs, while that of the original French works imported into England is from 600,000 to 900,000 francs. It must, however, be ob served, that probably the greater part of these books are re printed in Belgium. From Germany, France takes books to the amount of 350,000 or 400,000 francs, and sends to Ger many double that value. Russia receives from Paris 600,000 francs worth per annum, besides importing Belgian reprints of French works, which, however, are far inferior in amount. Switzerland imports books from France to the amount of 400,000 francs, but sends scarcely any into France. Italy takes to the amount of 60,000 francs, and exports to France 100,000 francs worth. From 1833 to 1836 inclusive, the ge neral average amount of books exported by France, was 3,841,000 francs, and of her imports 813,000 francs, leaving a balance in her favour of 3,000,000 francs. TRUE PHlLosopny - .---Two farmers, who were neighbours, had their crops of early peas killed by the frost. One of them came to condole with the other on their misfortune. " Ah !" cried he, " how unfortunate we have been, neigh bour ! I have done nothing but fret ever since. But bless me ! you seem to have a fine healthy crop• coming up just now ; what are these ?" " These," said the other ; " why these are what I sowed immediately after my loss." " What coming up already ?" cried the fretter. " Yes : while you were fretting, I was working." " What ! and don't you fret when you have a loss ?" " Yes, but I always put it off until I have repaired the mischief." " Dearl why then you've no need to fret at all." " True," replied the industrious gardener, " and that's the very reason ; in truth, it is very pleasant to have no longer reason to think of misfortunes ; and it is astonishing how many might be repaired, by a little alacrity and energy." LAKE HURON IN A STORM. — The next morning it blew hard, and as we opened upon Lake Huron, we had to en counter a heavy sea; fortunately, the wind was Stir for the island of Mackinaw, or we might have been delayed for some days. As soon as we were in the lake, we made sail, having fifty-six miles to run before it was dark. The gale increased, but the canoe flew over it, skimming it like a sea-bird. It was beautiful, but not quite so pleasant, to watch it, as upon the least carelessness on the part of the helmsman, it would immediately have filled. As it was, we shipped some heavy seas ; but the blankets at the bottom being saturated, gave us the extra ballast which we required. Before we were clear of the islands, we were joined by a whole fleet of Indian canoes, with their dirty blankets spread to the storm, running as we were for Mackinaw, being on their return from Mani ton Islands, where they had .congregated to receive presents from the Governor of Upper Canada. Their canoes were most of them smaller than ours, which had been built for speed, but they were much higher in the gunnel. It was in teresting to behold so many hundreds of beings trusting themselves to such fragile consequences in a heavy gale and running sea ; hut, the harder it blew the faster we went ; and at last much to my satisfaction we found ourselves in smooth water again, alongside of the landing wharf at Mackinaw. I had had some wish to see a fresh-water gale of wind ; but in a birch canoe I never wish to try the experiment again.— Capt. Marryae s America. A TOWN WITHOUT ATTORNEYS.---" Attorneys ! attor neys" ! exclaimed the indignant inhabitants of Dingle. "No attorneys, sir—not an attorney—thank goodness, we have none nearer than Tralee, and that is two and twenty long miles from us, the shortest way, a hilly roa d." " B u t su ppo s e," continued the pertinacious stranger, " that a point of law oc curred in one of the cases that came before your court ; what would you do then, without legal advice to expound and un ravel the matter ?" " Do, sir ? Law, sir ?" repeated the man of Dingle, with a look of astonishment and affright, " Law, sir ! we never mind the law in our court. We judge by the honesty of the case that comes before us ; and let me tell you, sir, that if every court were so conducted, there would be very few attorneys, and the country would be quiet and happy." " But what would you do, if any person brought an attorney these twenty-two miles long, and hilly road, and introduced him into your court, and he started some points, of law which required professional skill to reply to ?" " I tell you what I did myself," was the answer to this appa rently perplexing question. " When I was deputy sovereign, two fools in this town employed each of them an attorney, whom they brought at a great expense from Tralee. When the attorneys went into court and settled themselves with their bags and papers, all done up with red bits of tape, and one of them got up to speak, ' Crier,' said I, ' command silence,' Silence in the court !' says he. So I stood up, and looking first at one attorney and then the other, I said with a solemn voice, ' adjourn this court for a month.' God save the King,' said the crier, and then I left them all : and I assure you, - he added, that from that day to this, no attor ney, ever appeared in our court ; and, please God, we never will find law in it, but go on judging by the honour and ho nesty of the cases that come before us.—Rambles in the South of Ireland. HUMMEL AND BEETHOVEN.—During Beethoven's stay at Berlin, he often met in society Hummel, the composer of Fanchon. Hummel, though, perhaps, not to be compared with some of the pianists of the present day, was a very dis tinguished musician. One evening Beethoven requested him to " improvise ;" Hummel complied, and s it himself down to the instrument, without seeming to be aware of the pre sence of the great German master. Beethoven listened for some time attentively, but at last, losing his patience, cried out, " Now for the beginning." This was too severe, Hum mel got up affronted, and some hard words passed between them. "Do you suppose," said Beethoven, to one of his friends, " th a t I wan t t o i nsu lt H umme l—l naily thought that all he gave us was nothing but the prelude." A sort of reconciliation was patched up between the artists, but Hum mel had not forgiven him, and promised himself his revanche'. They were so far on terms, that they occasionally cor responded together, and Hummel, determined to raise a laugh at' the expense of Beethoven, wrote him a letter at Vienna, telling him that a most extraordinary and wonderful discovery' h a d been made—namely, a " Lantern for the blind !" Beethoven was the most simple-minded of men, and believed like a child any " - ilahrchen" with which peo ple chose to gull him. As soon, therefore, as he got wind of this new marvel, he went about communicating it to all his acquaintance right and left. A Lantern for the blind ! How strange ! What sort of a machine can it be ? The incre dulity of others did not open his eyes. He, therefore, wrote to Hummel, requested to be furnished with particulars, with details of this surprising invention. This was what Hummel was waiting for. In his answer he explained the riddle, con fessing it was all a hoax, and Beethoven had the simplicity to exhibit the letter.—Parthenon. VESSELS ENTERED FOR LOADING. (SINCE OUR LAST PUBLICATION.)

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 12. The decline in prices which we noticed last week has been fol lowed up this, by a daily giving way, up to yesterday, when with an increased disposition to 'orce sales, buyers where enabled to supply themselves generally at id, and in some instances Id 19 , tb under our quotations of Friday last—but to many this great fall offered but little temptation to stock themselves, and consequently, the business of the week is by no means large. To-day there is more steadiness in the market, and buyers find they cannot do quite so well as yesterday by id to id gp tb. The sales are about 4000 bales. Speculators have picked up 1500 bales of American, and exporters have taken 2260 bales of American, 50 Surat, and 350 Bengal.
