" All hands ahoy !" is oft the stirring When the scowling cloud, when the thrilling squall Has roused the sailor to his post on deck, The vessel and his all to save from wreck ; A true son is he of our foam-girt isle ! With his lion heart, with his eagle eye, He braves the wild storm of the sea and sky, Ever ready for his perilous toil : Boldly, nobly, he answers to the cry— " All hands ahoy !" (Chorus) " Ay, ay !" " All hands ahoy !" is now the stirring call, When Whigs with their scowl, when Rads with their squall Have roused the Tory to his post on deck, The Vessel of the State to save from wreck; A true son is he of our foam-girt isle ! With his Lion heart, with his Eagle eye, He braves the wild storm of Rad-Whiggery, Ever ready for his Patriot toil; Boldly, nobly, he answers to the cry— " All hands ahoy !" (Chorus, " Ay, ay !" • When a British Ship is in peril, " All Hands Ahoy !" is the call of the Officer of the Watch, and " Ay, Ay !" responds every gallant Tar, as he springs to his duty. SONNET. (From Blackwood's Magazine for May.) England has felt of old a tyrant's sway, The rightful blood of long-descended kings Has trodden underfoot as abject things A people's liberties. Through dark dismay Where chaos brooded, Cromwell won his way To power supreme, uplifted on the wings Of a bold spirit ; nor dishonour brings His rule, who taught the factious to obey And foes to fear us. But 0 ! when till now Was England mastered by a low-born slave False and faint-hearted ; on whose sordid brow Shame sits enamoured ; who would dig a grave Per all she venerates, and has breathed a vow To hate her sons as cowards hate the brave ? THREE SONNETS. BY SIR MORGAN O'DOBERTY, BART. (From Fraser's Magazine for May.) SAGACITY OF. THE XXII. Five nights ! Ave nights! A hundred columns full ! In weary, weary drowsiness dragged on ! As at the birth of Og—see glorious John*— " The midwife laid her'hand on his fat skull, With this prophetic blessing, Be thou dull." So it would seem Reform has laid upon Our Whig majority like benison. But as of Twenty-two (forgive the bull) Thirty-and-six are placemen, we must own, In spite of all this muddy mass of prose, No lack of self-preserving wit was shown, When the division-moment came by those Whom cross-bun rhymes would call " the pretty elves," Not buying (they are bought), but " voting for themselves. ELOQUENCE OF THE XXII. Even the bright clashing of George Sinclair's wit Failed to illumine this dense, dull debate; 'Twas wasted after Russell's priggish prate — Rice's small gabble from the robes of Pitt. Sheila tawdry tropes, for Tipperary fit (As murdering the Queen's English), the big brogue Brayed from each tail-composing fool or rogue; The drivelling venom by O'Connell spit, And Bulwer's leaden periods. Such the style Of ministerial speaking ; one alone, John Temple Leader, took a loftier tone, Spurning the Whig impostors, base anti vile. But to what purpose, when at last his vote In the division went with grovelling Grote? TRIVNIPII OF THE XXII. And joy is spread through Downing-street,—such joy As in the convict cell the trembling thief Feels when he hears the respite's short relief, — Sure of the rope at last. With like alloy It Whig rejoicing mixed. But, John, my boy, Take thou this soothing solace in thy grief, Though thy majority is rather brief, It will allow thee (and themselves) to enjoy Another quarter's salary, the end And object of the vote. Thy Tory foes, Being in no hurry, can the tirri attend, Strengthening their numbers every hour that goes. lAs for rats Gibson, Goddard, and Bob Ingham, Ipswich, South Shields, and Cricklade, sure must tling'em. * Absalom and Achitophel. CURE FOR HYDROPHOBIA. Our attention has been called by a correspondent to the following account given by M. Buisson, a physi cian at Paris, of his experience of hydrophobia, and his mode of cure. It is extracted from a treatise addressed to the French Academy of Science in 1823, and ap peared some time since in a London paper. It is, however, we apprehend, but little known throughout the country; but as the statement, if true, is of in calculable importance, we give it insertion, in the hope that it will meet with that attention its importance me rits :-- M. Buisson bad been called to visit a woman, who for three days was said to be suffering under this dis ease. She had the usual symptoms—constrictioli of the throat, inability to swallow, abundant secretion of saliva, and foaming at the mouth. Her neighbours said she had been bitten by a mad dog about forty days before. At her own urgent entreaties she was bled, and died a few hours after, as was expected. M. Buisson, who had his hands covered with blood, incautiously cleansed them with a towel which had been used to wipe the mouth of the patient. He then had an ulceration upon one of his fingers, yet thought it sufficient to wash off the .saliva that adhered with a little water. The ninth day after, being in his cabriolet, he was suddenly seized with a pain in his throat, and one still greater in his eyes. The saliva was continually pour ing into his mouth ; the impression of a current of air or the sight of brilliant bodies gave him a painful sen sation. His body appeared to him so light that he felt as though he could leap to a prodigious height. He experienced, he said, a wish to run and bite—not men, but animals and inanimate bodies. Finally, he drank with difficulty ; and the sight of water was still more distressing to him than the pain in his throat. These symptoms recurred every five minutes, and it appeared to him as though the pain commenced in his affected finger, and extended thence up to the shoul der. From the whole of the symptoms he judged himself affected with hydrophobia, and resolved to terminate his life by stifling himself in a vapour bath. flaying entered one for this purpose, he caused the heat to be raised to 107 deg. 36 min. Fahrenheit, when he was equally surprised and delighted to find himself free of all complaint. He left the bathing-room well, dined heartily, and drank more than usual. Since that time, he says, he has treated in the same manner more than eighty persons bitten, in four of whom the spmptoms had declared themselves, and in no case has he failed, except in that of one child, seven years old, who died while in the bath. The mode of treatment he recommends is, that the person bit should take a certain number of vapour baths (commonly called Russian,) and should induce every night a violent perspiration by wrapping himself in flannel, and covering himself with a feather bed ; the perspiration is favoured by drinking freely of a warm decoction of sarsaparilla. He declares he is so convinced of the efficacy of this mode of treatment, that he will suffer himself to be innoculated with the disease. As a proof of the uti lity of copious and continued perspiration, he relates the following► anecdote :—A relative of the musician Gretry was bitten by a mad dog, at the same time with many other persons, who all died of hydrophobia. For his part, feeling the first symptoms of the disease, he took to dancing night and day, saying, he wished to die gaily. He recovered. M. Buisson also cites the old stories of dancing be ing a remedy for the bite of a tarantula, and draws at tention to the fact that the animals in whom this mad ness is most frequently found to develope itself spon taneously are dogs, wolves, and foxes, which never perspire. This latter is a very extraordinary fact. Horses and cows have been frequently bitten by mad dogs, and in a very few cases have any of the symp toms of hydrophobia been manifested. The appeal in the celebrated cause regarding " Lady Hew ley's Charity," intitled " Shore v. Wilson," has been fixed by the lord chancellor to be begun at the bar of the House of Lords, on Monday, the 13th instant. The judges are to attend, and the appeal is to be heard de die in diem till its conclusion. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERIC.-011 the 12th ult., Finley Ross, a clerk and collector in the employ of Messrs. Crompton, paper makers, Church-street, ab sconded, and on an examination of his accounts, a deficiency was discovered in his payments of £6OO. On the Bth a war rant for his apprehension was obtained, and placed in the hands of policeman Archibald M`Mullin, who having reason to believe that he had proceeded by way of Liverpool to Glasgow, pursued him thither, where on inquiry he tound from the statements of the captain of the Maid of Morven steamer, plying once-a-week between that port and the Isle of Sky, that he had taken a passage to Arn:adale. On the 22d M`Mulliu followed him iu the same vessel, but landed at Port Tree, where, having by the assistance of the pro curator fiscal, obtained a warrant from the sheriff, he was prepared to continue the pursuit. He had reason to be lieve that Ross was living with a man named Elder, in the Isle of Ornsay, but there was a difficulty in obtaining a passage to this place, and at length, on Wednesday, the officer hired a four-oared boat, and at five on the following morning was landed near to Elder's house, where he awaited patiently the opening of the door, and was shown by the servant, as a stranger having urgent business with their guest, into Ross's bed-chamber. Ross, who knew the offi cer, as may be supposed, manifested some little surprise that his retreat should have been so soon discovered, and rubbed his eyes as if doubtful whether the unwelcome visitor were not an apparition. The officer, however, relieved his doubts. by a familiar " Good morning, Mr. Ross," and proceeding immediately to examine his pockets, discovered in them mo ney to the amount of £lll 108., which his prisoner at once acknowledged was the property of Messrs. Crompton, his employers. M'Mullin arrived with his prisoner in Manches ter on Sunday evening. Ross was placed at the bar of the New Bailey tor examination, when it was proved that Mr. Bethel, calenderer, of Hulme, had paid him £46 in Febru ary, which he received and gave a receipt for on behalf of his employers. Another payment of £ll2 in October last was also proved, and other parties were in court to have proved payments made to him, but Mr. Maude said their evidence was unnecessary. Mr. Sims, manager to Messrs. Crompton, said the prisoner should have accounted weekly to him for all moneys he had received on account of Messrs. Crompton. He had examined the books, and found that neither of the two sums in question had been paid. The prisoner had been deficient in his accounts upwards of £6OO. lion s saicLpoth* in defence.

Being an Exhibition of the Laws of Papacy, set up by the Roman Bishops in 1832, by ab juring which they gained political power. Containing the Original Documents, with Translations, the Bishops' Oaths, and a copious Table of Contents, &c." The above is the title of a work recently published and written by that noble champion of Protestantism, the Rev. R. J. M`Ghee, and we have much pleasure in extracting the following preface, being an address " TO HIS EXCELLENCY LORD VISCOUNT EBRINGTON BARON FORTESCUE, LORD LIEUTENANT GENERAL, GENERAL GOVERNOR OF IRELAND, &C. &C. " MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY, " MY LORD — If the title of this book is not justified by its contents—if a liberty is taken with the name and autho rity of our most gracious Sovereign—if any-act of innstice is committed towards any of . her Majesty s subjects, over whom your Excellency has been placed as the representative of her royal person and government—then, my Lord, no language can adequately express the audacity of the indivi dual who presumes to offer to your Excellency's considera tion a work which, under such circumstances, were worthy of your most severe displeasure and reproof. But if, on the contrary, my Lord, it is an humble effort of one of her Majesty's most loyal and faithful subjects to vindicate her Majesty's honour and government, as the Sovereign of these realms, from the base conspiracy of an order of men who make religion, which ought to be the handmaid of loyalty and virtue, the instrument of treason and of every crime— if it be a faithful, honest exposure of a system which, by the instrumentality of a perfidious policy which is called religion, seduces her Majesty's subjects from their allegiance to their lawful Sovereign, and transfers that allegiance to a foreign tyrant—if it lays before your Excellency, with plain and honest fidelity, a tissue of iniquitous deceit and domination, which is treachery to one class of her Majesty's subjects, tyranny to another, and the fruitful source of misery and ruin to them all—if it exposes the real cause of the miseries of that unhappy country, over which, in candour, but with all respect, it must be said of your Excellency, or any Vice roy, that he has the misfortune to pri side—if it exhibits to your Excellency's view the reason why Ireland requires a vigorous administration of the laws, and why it thwarts and impedes their execution, why it mocks the wisdom of the legislative and paralyses the arm of the executive authority, why it defies coercion, why it contemns concession, stamps ignorance and folly on the one; and evades the imbecility of the other—if it exposes immediately the cause why the rule of your royal Sovereign is reduced to the mere shadow of a shade—if it informs your Excellency of a tissue of perjury which you could not have imagined, of crime, of cruelty, of treachery, of intolerance, of sedition, which you could not have possibly believed to be connected with any system of paganism, much less of nominal Christianity—then, my Lord, there is no individual in the nation to whom this work ought to be so commended as to your Excellency ; and it is therefore most humbly submitted to your Excellency's most grave and gracious consideration. " Your Excellency will perceive that it is very simple in its construction. It consists merely of two parts—First, of a detail of parliamentary evidence, of the accuracy of which your Excellency can easily be satisfied. Much of it, no doubt, was given in your Excellency's presence, and is to be found in the parliamentary records, with which your Excellency is familiar, and which are easily accessible. The other part consists of a number of documents, the principles of which, and in some instances the documents themselves, your Excellency sees were denied on oath by the men who gave that evidence ; the atrocity of these principles it were impertinent to point out. There cannot be a doubt that your Excellency often revolved them in your mind ; and, while you could not believe that there were any men on earth so base as to entertain such principles, you have always considered it most illiberal and uncharitable to impute them to the persons who denied them even upon oath. " Your Excellency now can see and judge for yourself. You know, my Lord, the high authority that records the test of truth— He that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved ; but he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God.' Your Excellency will admit the perfection of the rule, and you now can judge of the force and power of its application. It is clear that the character of these men, the truth of their oaths, the nature of their principles, the whole system of their religion, all that is dear to them, is at stake. It is clear that the proof of the case is put to a fair and honest issue. If these Popish bishops stand forward before the Roman Catholics whom they enslave, and the Protestants whom they betray, and produce the documents, I propose, to redeem their character, their oaths, their loyalty, their principles, their religion ; and, if they succeed in their effort, then the report of their success shall be laid before your Excellency, and I will confess with grief and shame that I have been guilty of a gross mistake, to whatsoever extent they may be able to prove the same, and that I have pre sumed unworthily to call your Excellency's notice to the subject—l shall recall this book from the press, and bow with all suitable contrition to the just sentence of your Ex cellency's displeasure. " If Mr. O'Connell, for whom these bishops and priests impose an annual tax on the affectionate credulity and warm hearted zeal of the poor Roman Catholics of Ireland, that they may maintain him, as the agent of that seditious and insurrectionary spirit of hostility to that Protestant govern ment which it is their aim to shake off, and to that Protestant population whom they are bound, as your Excellency sees by their secret laws, to exterminate ; if Mr. O'Connell ven tures to take the position of counsel for these bishops, on the platform, in the court of public justice, or to argue the case before the bar of the House of Commons, and if he suc ceeds in defending them from the facts alleged in this book, then, my Lord, let British statesmen still bow to his dicta tation. Whatever may be said of their principles, they will at least be rescued from the humiliating position of being dupes, of being imposed upon by the patrons of perjury and sedition, being made the pitiable, though, it is to be hoped, unconscious instruments of their Sovereign's danger, their own dishonour, and their country's ruin. " But, my Lord, if your Excellency sees that these men dare not venture upon the task of their own exculpation—if you see them shrink in conscious guilt from the publicity of the platform, the press, the court of justice, and the senate— , if you 'see that they skulk away in terror from the fear of giving to their crimes the validity of public proof, by any attempt at a public vindication, then, my Lord, your Excel lency will see the true position in which you stand as the nominal governor, in her Majesty's name, of Ireland—your Excellency will see that you are placed to govern a people whose spiritual teachers instruct them to despise the laws you are to administer, and to hate the authority you represent —you will see that your royal mistress is proclaimed in these laws, not only in common with her Protestant subjects as an excommunicated heretic, but that the poor Roman Catholics are to learn that she must bow her royal head for pardon at the feet of the Italian tyrant, that spiritual traitor, that man of sin, who opposeth and ex ilteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped,' and who in the plenitude of that blasphemy which is marked in the word of God as engraven on his head, arrogates to himself the same honour, power, dignity, and veneration of the Vicar and Representa tive of the Lord of Heaven and Earth, which, in a temporal sense, is due to your Excellency in this nation, as represen tative of our most gracious Sovereign in this part of her dominions. " Permit me, with all due deference, to submit to your Excellency's serious consideration how it can he possible that a nation of men can be brOught to submit to a power which it is made their religion to hate—how they can he brought to pay any conscientious respect or obedience to laws which it is made their religion to trample under foot—how peace can be promoted when religion is made the instrument of war, the handmaid of hatred, the sower of sedition, the prompter of perjury. the mediator of murder, the parent of every cruelty, the nurse of every crime ? " Is it, may I venture to submit to your Excellency, by the compromise of virtue, that voice is to be eradicated? Is it by the compromise of honour that disgrace is to be averted ? Is it by the compromise of loyalty that sedition is to be 'put down? Is it by the compromise of all morality and all re ligion that the honour of God and the happiness of man is to be promoted ? " And here, my Lord, whether we look at the temporal or spiritual aspect of this case, may I humbly take permission to submit to your Excellency how far you think it justifiable that men shall impute to those persons who feel called on honestly and faithfully to expose the guilt, the wickedness, and falsehood of the church of Rome—principles of illiberal, uncharitable hostility to Roman Catholics, and how far you think it justifiable that a compromise with the principles of this church, and an admission that popery is christianity, should pass for liberality of principle and for christian kind ness and charity to Roman Catholics. I most gladly avail myself of that solemn sense of religion which public report ascribes, and I trust truly ascribes to your Excellency, to entreat your grave consideration of this subject. " Without a tedious detail of the many awful idolatries propagated among this unhappy people, I would just mention one of such an authoratative standard that no question can be raised about it. " The present Pope sent over an encyclical letter to the Romish bishops of this country, nearly seven years ago, viz., in 1832, in which he uses the following expressions : " Now that all these happy circumstances may concur, let us lift up our eyes and hands to the most Blessed Virgin Mary, who alone has destroyed all heresies, who fills us with the greater confidence, or rather who is the whole foundation of our hope.' " 6 Now, this letter, with these words so translated, and so marked, was sold, and is sold at this day, under the autho rity of the whole body of the Romish b shops, as of infallible truth, to the miserable Roman Catholics of Ireland. " Now, here is another principle of equal authority—a canon of the Council of Trent, the first on the Eucharist. Sess. XII. " If any one shall deny that in the sacrament of the most holy Eucharist is contained truly, really, and substantially the body and blood, along with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ, and therefore Christ altogether, but shall say that he is in it only, as in a sign, or a figure, or a certere, let him be damned.' 6. Now, permit me, as a minister of Christ, while I lay be fore your Excellency these two specimens of spiritual dark ness, and while I humbly submit this volume of immoral, antisocial and cruel iniquity, permit me, with all deference, to ask your Excellency whether you consider that a man who truly believes the glorious Gospel of our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who knows that his righteousness and his atoning blood are the only refuge for a guilty sinner, can, if he is faithful, compromise his Master's truth ?—can he, if he have that truth in his own heart, cease to feel, and feeling, cease to testify, on behalf of his fellow-sinners, against the abominable idolatry and superstition of these popes and councils ? Is it Christianity to take the crown off the head of Christ and place it on a creature ?—to subvert the foundation laid in Zion, and call the Virgin Mary the whole founda tion of the sinner's hope ?' Is not that, my Lord, most awful idolatry? Is it 'Christianity to think that a priest, by pronouncing a few cabalistic words over a bit of paste, can embody into that the Lord of Life and Glory, and then pre tend to offer it as a sacrifice for sin, and hold it up to be adored by a poor, blind, and ignorant population? Is this Christ, my Lord, or is it not an idol, an Antichrist, that pre tends to repeat the finished sacrifice of Immanuel, and set up a wafer to be adored for the Lord of Glory ? " And now, my Lord, turn to the morals. Look at the perjury, at the sedition, at the persecution, at the cruelty in culcated and exemplified in this book. Look at the fruits of this faith, look at the offspring of this superstition. The country over which your Excellency presides is an example —` Si monunzenta quceris, eircumspiee.' You cannot look, my Lord, nor can 1 show your Excellency, in the press, the horrible obscenities of these bishops and priests, with which, in their infamous confessional, they overwhelm and enslave the minds of the unhappy female population, making slaves of the wives that they may more • effectually enslave their husbands, and slaves of the mothers that they may enslave their children. But what I can show is enough to ask your Excellency to pronounce in your own breast what is the duty of any man in any station that calls himself a Christian and a Protestant. Are we, my Lord, as ministers of Christ, to mock the name of truth, by pretending to take the robe of charity to cover a criminal compromise of truth, by leaving our fellow men to perish in idolatries, in superstitions, and in crimes like these which are revolting alike to religion and to humanity ? Would Paul have done so, my Lord? Would Christ have done so ? Is this the lesson taught us in our Bible ? Is not apathy in such a cause dishonour to our God ? Is not compromise with those who inculcate such a system a guilty participation in their crime ? " And now, my Lord, why do 1 venture to submit to your Excellency these reflections on this subject ? Is it that I would use an effort to injure my Roman Catholic country men, as being their enemy ?—to misrepresent. them •to your Excellency ? My Lord, it is often a painful, but a necessary duty, to take a public tyrant, a public traitor, a public per or a public vjllaiu, and wake him as he ought to be made, a public example to the world. But this is my testi mony to my poor Roman Catholic countrymen. I firmly believe there are not on this earth a more patient, enduring, affectionate and grateful people in their own _unsophisticated natural character. I believe they would be good tenants, peaceful, hospitable, kind and cordial neighbours ; I believe they would be loyal and devoted subjects to their sovereign ; and, if they were trained to habits of industry, and had em ployment, they would be a prosperous and contented nation. But the dark system of deep anti-christian iniquity inculcated into them in the shape of religion, by their bishops and priests, brings them to the state in which they are. Your Excellency has in this book some of the doctrines and prin ciples which are instilled into their ears, you have the les sons of their instructions, the reasons of their misery, and the causes of their crimes. The remedy to be applied to the people of Ireland collectively, is the only remedy for man individually as a sinner—the balm of pure, holy, undefiled religion, a faithful exposure to the people of the iniquity of those tyrants and traitors, that enslave and corrupt them, a faithful, bold translation and exposure of such bulls as these, and such theology as that of Dens—a faithful exhibition of the conscious guilt with which their task-masters shrink from the proofs of their iniquity—Christian fidelity against the op pressors of the people, combined with Christian affection and kindness to the poor people themselves. These, my Lord, united with a faithful administration of justice, a firm but temperate rule, an attempt on your Excellency's part to fulfil the duties of your high station, according to the language of that prayer offered up in our liturgy in behalf of the repre sentative of royal authority, ,these would afford a hope for the regeneration of Ireland. I cannot more appropriately close this address to your Excellency than in the language of the prayer to which I have alluded—' That it may please Almighty God to bless your Excellency, his servant, as the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and to grant that you may use the sword which our Sovereign Lady the Queen hath com mitted into your hand, with justice and mercy, according to God's blessed will, for the protection of this people and the true religion established amongst us. That He may enlighten you by His grace, preserve you by his providence, and en compass you with his favour. That He may bless your whole council, direct and prosper all their consultations, to the ad vancement of His glory, the good of His church, the honour of her sacred Majesty, and the safety and welfare of her do minions.' That this prayer may be sincerely offered up and abundantly answered, and that your Excellency may be able to give an account of your stewardship, exercised as in this prayer, when,you come to appear at the tribunal of the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, is the sincere and humble hope of one who has the honour to be, with all-due respect, your Excellency's most obedient and very humble servant, " ROBERT J. M`GHEE, " Minister of Harold's-Cross Church, Dublin." LONDON LAW REPORTS. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, MONDAY THE QUEEN V. CROSSLEY AND ROBINSON. This was an indictment, tried at the assizes at Liverpool, against the defendants, the overseers of the parish of Tod morden, for refusing to account to an auditor appointed by the poor law commiss: ners for the union of which the parish of Todmorden formed 13,,, t. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. A rule nisi to set a,ide the verdict—on the grounds that the board of guardians had never been legally consti tuted, and that there was therefore no person in whom the power was vested of appointing an auditor, and also that the indictment was improperly framed on the 47th instead of the 18th section, inasmuch as it alleged general disobedience instead of averring the particular act of disobedience—was subsequently obtained, and Mr. Starkie and Mr. Peel now showed cause against the rule, and contended for the validity of the indictment. The Court, without hearing Mr. Kelly, Mr. Dundas, and Mr. J. W. Cobbett, in support of the rule, expressed a de cided opinion as to the badness of the indictment. Mr. Kelly intimated that the question as to whether the non-election of guardians by one of the parishes in a union rendered the board of guardians incomplete, would be brought before the court in another shape. Rule absolute. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MONDAY. (Sittings in Banco.) THE CANADIAN PRISONERS.—JUDGMENT. The four Canadian prisoners were brought up at the sit ting of the court this morning, when Lord Abinger proceeded to deliver the judgment of the court. His lordship said,—This is the case of a habeas cor pus to the gaoler of Liverpool, on the return to which a motion has been made to discharge the prisoners. The court is bound to look at the substance of the return. If it contains sufficient matter in substance to show that the pri soner is lawfully detained, we cannot discharge him upon habeas corpus, though the return should in some respects be informal, or should go into matter not essential to the ques tion. The return then, in substance, is this : that by an act of the legislature of Upper Canada, the lieutenant-governor, with the advice of the executive council of that province, was enabled to grant a pardon under the great seal, upon such terms as they might think proper, to such persons, then under the charge of high treason committed in that province, as should petition the lieutenant-governor before their ar raignment, praying for pardon ; and that the same act pro vids, that in case any person should be pardoned under that act upon condition of being transported or banishing him self from that province, either for life or for any term of years, such person, if he should return to the province before the expiration of the period of his transportation or banishment, should be guilty of felony, and liable to suffer death ; that, after the passing of that act, the pri soner was duly indicted at a special court of oyer and ter miner, held by authority of another act of the same legisla ture, for the crime of high treason ; that before his arraign ment, in accordance with the statute, the prisoner petitioned the lieutenant-governor, confessing his guilt of the treason charged against him, and praying that her Majesty's pardon might be extended to him upon such conditions as the lieute nant-governor, by and with the advice of the executive council, should see fit ; that the lieutenant-governor did, with the advice of the council, consent that her Majesty's mercy should be extended to him, upon condition that he should be trans ported, and remain transported, to her Majesty's colony of Van Diemen's Land for the term of 14 years next ensuing the date of his arrival at Van Diemen's Land, to which terms and con ditions the prisoners assented ; and, therefore, the lieutenant governor did, by letters patent under the seal of the province, remit and release the prisoner from all and every punishment that might be inflicted upon him by reason of the said treason, so confessed, upon condition, nevertheless, that he should he and remain transported for the term aforesaid. The return then states that there being no means of conveying the prisoner directly, from Upper Canada toVan Diemen's Land, it became necessary to convey him first to Quebec, in Lower Canada, and then to England, for the purpose of transporting him to Van Diemen's Land ; and that, accordingly, he was trans mitted, by authority of the Lieut.-governor of Upper Canada, to Quebec, and from thence, by authority of the executive government there, which issued letters patent in the name of her Majesty to command that the prisoner'should be delivered to Digby Martin, the master of the barque Captain Ross, to be by him conveyed to England, to such place as her Majesty should think fit, to the end that he might thence be trans ported to Van Diemen's Land. That Digby Martin accord ingly brought him to Liverpool, the same being the place w hien seemed fit to her Majesty, and which was the most proper place for the purpose, and there delivered him to the gaoler of Liverpool, who retains him in his custody, whilst means are preparing to transport him to Van Diemen's Land. This is the substance cf the return, against which many ingenious ob jections have been urged. the principal of which seem to be — that the legislature of Upper Canada had no authority to make any such law ; that if they. had, it could be binding only within the precincts of that province ; that it could communicate no authority to any person out of that pro vince, and,- therefore, can give none to the gaoler of Liver pool; that even if it could have that effect, the pardon granted under that law being conditional, it was not compe tent to the prisoner to accept a pardon whereby he submitted himself to imprisonment or transportation; or, that if it were competent to him to accept a pardon with such a con dition, he has still a right to retract his consent, and to be set free from the obligation imposed on him by the conditions. All these topics have been elaborately argued on both sides, and have received due attention from the court, but in the view which we take of the case, we do not think it necessary to pronounce any opinion upon them. If the condition upon which alone the pardon was granted be void, the pardon must also be void. If the condition were lawful, but the pri soner did not assent to it, nor submit to be transported, he cannot have the benefit of the pardon. Or, if having assented to it his assent by revocable, we must consider him to have retracted it by his application to be set at liberty, in which case he is equally unable to avail himself of the pardon. Look ing, then, at the return, the position of the prisoner appears to be this—that he has been indicted for high treason com mitted in Canada against her Majesty—that he has confessed himself guilty of that treason—that he is liable to be tried for it in England—that he cannot plead the pardon which he has renounced, and that h:. is now in the custody of the gaoler of Liverpool under such circumstances as would justify any sub ject of the crown in England in taking and detaining him in custody till he be dealt with according to law. Any subject who held him in custody with a knowledge of these circum stances would be guilty of a crime in aiding and abetting his escape, if he permitted him to go at large without lawful au thority. How then can we order the gaoler of Liverpool or any other person who has him in custody, with a knowledge of these circumstances, to let him go at large ? If the pri soner cannot be lawfully transported under his present cir cumstances, it is to be presumed that the government, upon being so certified, will take proper measures for prosecuting him for the crime of treason, in England. For these reasons we are of opinion that the prisoners must be remanded. The prisoners were then removed in custody. PIMM AND OTHERS V. CURREL AND OTHERS. The argument in this ease (a right to the Monks Ferry) was again resumed, and occupied the court the remainder of the day, Mr. Cresswell, Mr. Crompton, and Mr. Williams being heard on behalf of the defendants. The court deferred judgment. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER.—There was a further decline of about a farthing per pound in the price of twist yesterday, which had the effect of causing some rathei extensive purchases on spe culation ; and the business done was to - a larger extent than for several weeks past, but, of course, at prices very far below a remunerating level. In power-loom cloth also, there was a decline of lid to 3d pei piece ; and the best 27-inch printing cloth, which, a few weeks ago, readily fetched 8s 6d to 8s 9d per piece, would not yesterday com mand more than 7s 3d. This decline has made the situa tion of the manufacturers by power almost as bad as that of . the spinners for export ; and a considerable addition to the number of mills working short time may be expected. An engagement to work only three days a week was yesterday very extensively signed by the spinners and manufacturers at Ashton, Stalybridge, Hyde, and the neighbourhood ; and it was expected to receive the signatures of the whole, or nearly the whole, of the extensive firms in that district. If so, it will cause a great diminution in the consumption of cotton, and tend materially to hasten the breaking-up of that mis chievous speculation in the raw material, which has this year proved so baneful to the trade of Manchester and the neigh bourhood. —Manchester 'Guardian. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, MAY 6. — Business has been rather worse to-day than on the preceding Monday. Though there have been many pieces sold, the prices have been extremely low. In the wool market there has been little doing, and prices are rather on the decline. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, MAY 7.—There was a mani fest improvement to-day both in the quantity of business and in prices ; the late wool sales in London having dissi; ated the expectation of a decline either in the raw or manufac tured article ; besides, the hall was seldom known to con tain so few saleable goods, and the manufacturers have been producing with the utmost caution, so that if business on the whole be not generally brisk, prices are not likely to fall. The principal demand is in fine fancy woollens. The wool market is firm. The warehouses are doing a steady business ; if not so brisk as anticipated, yet not to be called bad. PENNY POSTAGE PETITIONS.—Up to the 27th of April 415 petitions were presented to the House of Commons in favour of this measure, as stated by the 20th report on public petitions. The total presented to the 4th May is 574 petitions.. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The very favourable na ture of the weather has enabled the contractors to proceed with uninterrupted activity in the formation of the works. It is exßecofl by those who ought to be able to form a toter,- ably correct judgment on the subject, that the continuation of the line from Maidenhead to Twyford will be opened at the end of June, or the beginning of July at furthest. — Bork C4reniels. SELECT EXTRACTS. SIR W. SCOTT AND THE BLARNEY STONE. - Among the pilgrims to the Blarney stone was Sir Walter Scott. The editor remembers observing to Sir Walter, that the good people -of Cork were not half pleased with him for going to see an old and neglected ruin such as Blarney, in preference to their noble harbour; of which the citizens are so justly proud, that they have adopted " Statio bene fida earinis, 'as the motto to the civic arms. Sir Walter Scott's reply was highly characteristic of his temper. "If I had known," said he, " what you tell me—that any one had a wish on the subject of my proceedings, I would have gone anywhere, or would have done anything in my power, to please the good citizens of Cork ; although it would have cost me a pang not to have visited—(here Sir Walter hum med) ' The Groves of Blarney, that are so charming, All by the purling of sweet silent streams.' _ _ Croker's Popular Songs of Ireland. LIONS AND LIONIZERS.—The worship of popular authors at the present time is an expression of the same thoughts and feelings as were indicated by the crowning of Petrach, and the greeting of Voltaire in the theatre, but with altera tions and additions according to the change in the times. Literary lions have become a class,—an inconceivable idea to the unreflecting in the time of Petrach, and even of Vol taire. This testifies to the vast spread of literature among our people. How great a number of readers is required to support, by purchase and by praise, a standing class of original writers ! But the newest pretence of all is the class is the class of " lionizers”—new, not because sordid selfish ness is new—not because social vanity is new—not because an inhuman disregard of the feelings of the sensitive, the foibles of the vain, the privileges of the' endowed, is new ; but because it is somewhat new to see the place of cards, music, masks, my lord's fool, and my lady's monkey, sup plied by authors in virtue of their authorship.—Westmin ster Review. BYRON'S OPINIONS ON MUSIC.—I like music (said he)' but do not know the least of it as a science ; indeed, I am glad that I do not, for a perfect knowledge might rob it of half of its charms. At present I only know that a plaintive air softens, and a lively one cheers me. Martial music ren ders me brave, and voluptuous music disposes me to be luxurious, even effeminate. Now, were I skilled in the ,science, I should become fastidious ; and, instead of yielding to the fascination of sweet sounds, I should be analysing, or criticising, or connoisseurshipising (to use a word of my own making), instead of simply enjoying them as at present. In the same way, I never would study botany. I don't want to know why certain flowers please me ; enough for me that they do, and I leave to those who have no better occupation, the analysis of the sources of their pleasure, which I can enjoy without the useless trouble. Byron (adds Lady Bles sington) has little taste for the fine arts ; and when they are the subject of conversation, betrays an ignorance very sur prising in a man who has travelled so much. He says that he feels art, while others prate about it ; but his neglect of the beautiful specimens of it here goes far to prove the con trary.—Lady Rlessington's Idler in Italy. THE LATE MR. IRVING'S APPEARANCE AND ORATORY. —As a speaker, Mr. Irving excelled any man I have ever heard in a pulpit. His voice was powerful and sonorous. Some of its cadences were exceedingly musical, and he had a perfect command over it. I can imagine that the mellifluous accents of the reverend gentleman's voice are still greeting my ear. His admirable elocution contributed much to dis play his voice to advantage. His utterance was singularly well timed, while the manifest ease with which he spoke, the originality of his matter, the beauties of his diction, and his graceful though often vehement gestures, severally concurred in giving effect to those attributes of his oratory which had more of nature than of art in them. With what rapt atten tion did congregated thousands, consisting of all ranks and classes of individuals, frequently hang, for more than an hour and a half at a time, on the lips of Edward Irving ! No one that had the gratification of hearing him in some of his hap piest moods, will ever forget either his eloquence or his per son. And here I should remark, that his personal appear ance was as striking, or as much out of the beaten track, as his style of preaching. I never saw a more handsome man, in so far as figure went. He was upwards of six feet two in height, and proportionally formed. It is true that he had a marked squint, in, if I remember, his right eye ; but his features were otherwise regular ; while the expression of his countenance had so much benevolence and placidity about it, as to neutralize any unpleasant feeling which the squint in his eye would have otherwise produced. His complexion was swarthy, and his hair, which was long and of a jet-black hue, was carefully parted in the middle of his fine lofty fore head, in a manner similar to that in which the other sex usually arrange their hair. He wore large whiskers. His face was of the oval shape, and had something about it which often caused him to be taken for a foreigner when walking in the streets.—The etropolitan Pulpit; by the Author of " Random Recollections." THE POPISH INQUISITION.—When the Inquisition was thrown open in 1820, by order of the Cortes of Madrid, twenty-one prisoners were found in it, not one of whom knew the name of the city in which he was; some had been con fined three years and some a longer period, and not one of them knew perfectly the nature of the crime of which he was accused. One of those prisoners was condemned, and was to have suffered on the following day. His punishment was death by the pendulum. The victim is fastened in a groove upon a table, suspended above him is a pendulum, the edge of which is sharp, and so constructed as to become longer at every movement. The wretched victim sees it swinging to and fro from above, till it begins to cut, and it cuts on till life as extinct. In the year 18 7 20, by a court ecclesiastical ; constituted by papal authority, and directed by the priests 01 . , Rome, this dreadful engine of fiendish cruelty was employed to destroy human beings for presuming to think for them selves ; and yet, within sixteen years, we are gravely told that this is the most mild and tolerant of Christian commu nities, and we are deemed the most illiberal of men, because we hesitate ere we acquiesce. —Church Magazine. EXCESSIVE POLITENESS.-Mr. Rowland Hill was always annoyed when there happened to be any noise in the chapel, or when anything occurred to divert the attention of his hearers from what he was saying. On one occasion, about three years before his death, he was preaching to one of the most crowded congregations that ever assembled to hear him. In the middle of his discourse he observed a great commotion in the gallery. For a time he took no notice of i - , but finding it increasing, he paused in his sermon. and looking in the direction in which the confusion prevailed, he exclaimed, " What's the matter there? The devil seems to havelot in among you! " A plain country looking man immediately _ _ started to his feet, and addressing Mr. Hill, in reply, said, " No, sir, it arrit the devil as is a doing on it"; it's a lady root's fainted, and she's a very fat un, sir, as don't seem likely to come to again in a hurry."—" Oh, that's it, is it," observed Mr, Hill, drawing his hand across his chin ; " then I beg the lady's pardon—and the devil's too.—The' Metro politan Pulpit; by the Author of "Random Recollections." THE CHURCH AND AGRICULTURE.—It must be borne in mind, with the other considerations on the corh-law ques tion, that if the views of the corn law agitators should be carried out, one of the consequences would be, the crippling of the Established Church, by grievously damagir , its tem poral supports. This is a point which has not been suffi ciently kept in view in the discussions of this question; but the country population will not fail to bear it in mind, because their situation enables them to take a practical view of the coneouenees which would result to the establishment, if agriculture should be ruined; they can deeply feel that if the foreigner is to undersell the British farmer, the parish churches must be shut up; that the voice of congregational prayer and praise must be silenced in a thousand vallies ; and that the venerable fabrics whose services and attendant ministrations have afforded the only real happiness, peace, and consolation of life to the inhabitants of village and ham lc and lonely cot, must lie in desolation and r tin, because of the impoverishment of those who were once able to render to the church the support charged upon the lan.' ; but who have been prevented, by their utter destitution, from sup plying the absence of the legal and ancient maintenance by means of their personal and voluntary efforts.—Churchman. A ZEALOUS PREACHER. — The Rev. Mr. Aitken's preach ing is not only attracting immense crowds of the lower classes, but the carriages of several families of title are often to be seen at the door of his chapel. He is, lam satisfied, a truly good man ; while in point of zeal he exceeds any minister, with whose name I am acquainted, of the present day. He is ambitious of treading in the footsteps of White field and Wesley. I am only afraid that his constitution, naturally robust though it be, will not be able long to bear up under the physical exertions he is now making. It is only surprising that the physical, combined with the mental, energy he displays in the delivery of every sermon, does not incapacitate him for months afterwards from again appearing in the pulpit. Some idea may be formed of the extent to which he exerts his lungs and physical powers generally, when I mention, that even in the winter season the perspi ration is to be seen rolling down his face before he has got to the middle of his discourse. Not very long ago, he worked himself up to such a state of excitement, that he was obliged to take off his shoes in the pulpit; his feet, which I should remark are often made use of in the way of action, being so much heated as to cause a very uncomfortable sensation. He was about eight weeks ago so very ill from over-exertion, that apprehensions were entertained that his constitution had been thereby it recoverably injured. His physician sug gested the propriety of a visit to Scotland, his native coun try. He accordingly crossed the Tweed, and returned about three weeks ago, quite recovered in health. Of all the ges ticulation I have ever seen in the pulpit or out of it, Mr. Aitken's is immeasurably the most vehement.—The Metro politan Pulpit; by the Author of " Random Recollections." PICTURE OF THE INTERIOR OF A COTTON FACTORY.— The party entered the building, whence—as all know who have done the like—every sight, every sound, every scent that kind nature has fitted the organs of her children, so as to render the mere unfettered use of them a delight, are banished for ever and ever. The ceaseless whirring of a mil lion hissing wheels, seizes on the tortured ear ; and, while threatening to destroy the delicate sense, seems bent on proving first, with a sort of mocking mercy, of how much suffering it can be the cause. The scents that reek around, from oil, tainted water, and human filth, with that last worst nausea, arising from the hot refuse of atmospheric air, left by some hundred pairs of labouring lungs, render the act of breathing a process of difficulty, disgust, and pain. All this is terrible. But what the eye brings home to the heart of those, who look around upon the horrid earthly hell, is enough to make it all forgotten; for who can think of villan ous smells, or heed the suffering of ear-racking sounds, while they look upon hundreds of helpless children, divested of every trace of health, of joyousness, and even of youth ! Assuredly there is no exaggeration in this ; for except only in their diminutive size, these suffering infants have no trace of it. Lean and distorted limbs—sallow and sunken cheeks— dim and hollow eyes, that speak unrest and most unnatural carefulness, give to each tiny, trembling, and unelastic form, a look of hideous premature old age. But in the room they entered, the dirty, ragged, miserable crew, were all in active performance of their various tasks ; the overlookers, strap in hand, on the alert ; the whirling spindles urging the little slaves who waited on them to movements as unceasing as their own ; and the whole monstrous chamber, redolent of all the various impurities that " by the perfction of our manufacturing system," are converted into " gales of Araby" for the rich, after passing, in the shape of certain poison, through the lungs of the poor.—Life and adventures of Michael Armstrong - , by Mrs. Trollope. MINISTERIAL BOLDNESS.—The Rev. Mr. Dale, of St. Bride's, is bold and uncompromising in his addresses to his people. He rebukes with equal fidelity persons of all ranks ; nor does he spare the more fashionable of the sex when be thinks the occasion calls on him to direct his reproofs espe cially to them. I remember hearing him a few years ago preach a sermon in aid of the funds of some charitable insti tion, in St. Sepulchre's, Snow Hill. The latter part of the sermon, was altogether a close, and energetic and very elo quent appeal to the consciences of his hearers generally, on the claims which the institution for which he that evening pleaded had to their support ; but the observations he ad dressed in a peculiar manner to the ladies, were amongst the most searching and forcible I ever heard from the pulpit ; while they were delivered with a fervour and energy I have rarely seen Mr. Dale display on any other occasion. lam sorry that I cannot give the reverend gentleman's admoni tions and rebukes as they proceeded with a burning, or rather I should say, with a withering eloquence from his lips. What called forth the severe reproof was the fact, that he had as certained that on similar occasions some of the more fashion able and finely-dressed females in the audience, had gone out of the 'church without depositing so much as a single sixpence in the plates provided at the door to receive contributions. Among other remarks which he made, that must have caused many a conscience to play the part of a Nathan to its posses sor, was one to the following effect :—" I have no doubt there is here to-night many a fashionable female whose bosom is encased in the softiest silks or satins, while her heart is as hard, when charitable appeals are made to her, as the very stones of the pavement on which she treads when retiring from the church." — The Metropolitan Pulpit ; by the Author qt " Random Becollectiow."

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 9. The Cotton market is still very quiet, and the limited business that has been done, is at id to id below last week's prices. The sales on Tuesday scarcely amounted to 800 bags; on Wednesday, however, the market presented a little brighter appearance, and the sales amounted to 2,500 bags ; to-day, again very quiet, only about 1,200 bags sold of all kinds, 200 of which are American on specu lation. _ _ __The arrivals since Tuesday are 2 vessels from New Orleans, i New York, and 1 Mobile. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, A!Ay 7 The imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, coast. ways, and from foreign ports since Tuesday last have been very moderate, but with previous supplies have been equal to the demand, which has been only to a limited extent here and in all our country mafkets throughout the past week ;—an advance of Id per 451 b on Oats, and of 6d to Is per 2401 b on Oatmeal, was obtained on fine qualities, being scarce, and for all other articles in the trade our last quotations were fully obtained, and a little exceeded on the best qualities of Irish Wheat. The only alteration this week in the duties on Grain from foreign ports is an increase of is 6d per quarter on Rye ;—it is now likely that the duty on N heat will not be increased for some weeks to come : there has been very little done last week in sales of Grahi in bond, and no alteration in prices ;—Flour in bond finds a very good demand for export, but of Wheat in bond the value is nominal. At this day's market, with a very fair attendance, the transactions were only to a very limited extent in every article of the trade ; the above noted advance was obtained on fine sweet Oats and Oatmeal ; and on other articles we can make little or no alteration in our last quotations ; after our market closed, about 3000 barrels of American, 1400 barrels of Ancona Flour, and 750 quarters Indian Corn. were oflered.by auction ; — about 1500 barrels of the Western Canal were sold at 35s 6d per barrel; the remainder of the Flour and the Indian Corn was withdrawn. „.

The supply of Beasts at market to-day has been considerably smaller than that of the preceding week, and the quality tolerably good. Beef has been on the advance, which may be attributed to the decrease of the supply, and the attendance of many country buyers. There has also been a decrease in the number of Sheep, but prices much about the same as last week. The best Beef was readily sold at 7d, second quality 62d, ordinary bid. Good Wether Sheep with the wool on may be quoted at Bd, second quality and Ewes at a shade less; clipped Sheep were sold fully at bid. The market upon the whole may be considered a good one, the principal part of the stock of both descriptions being sold up at an early hour. There were a few Pigs in the market, which were sold at from ad to 5d per lb. Number of Cattle at market :—Beasts 796, Sheep 2450 Pigs 35.
