43ottrp. THE PALM-TREE. BY MRS. HEMANS. It waved not through an eastern sky, Beside a fount of Araby ; It was not fann'd by southern breeze In some green isle of Indian seas ; Nor did its graceful shadow sleep O'r stream of Atric, lone and deep. But fair the exiled palm-tree grew 'Midst foliage of no kindred hue; Through the laburnum's dropping gold Rose the light shaft of orient mould, And Europe's violets, faintly sweet, Purpled the moss-beds at its feet. Strange look'd it there !—the willow stream'd Where silvery waters near it gleam'd ; The lime bough lured the honey-bee To murmour by the desert's tree, And showers of snowy roses made A lustre in its fan-like shade. There came an eve of festal hours — Rich music fill'd that garden's bowers : Lamps, that from flowering branches hung, On sparks of dew soft colour flung, And bright forms glanced—a fairy show — Under the blossoms to and fro. But one, a lone one, 'midst the throng, Seem'd reckless all of dance or song ; He was a youth of dusky mien, Whereon the Indian sun had been, Of crested brow and long black hair— A stranger, like the palm-tree, there. And slowly, sadly, moved his plumes, Glittering athwart the leafy glooms : He pass'd the pale green olives by, Nor won the cheasut flowers his eye ; But when to that sole palm he came, Then shot a rapture through his frame ! To him, to him its rustling spoke, The silence of his soul it broke ! It whispeed of his own bright isle, That lit the ocean with a smile ; Aye to his ear that native tone Had something of the sea wave's moan! His mother's cabin home, that lay Where feathery cocoas fringed the bay; The dashing of his brethren's oar — The conch-note heard along the shore ; All through his wakening bosom swept— He clasp'd his country's tree and wept ! Oh, scorn him not !—the strength whereby The patriot girds himself to die, Th' unconquerable power which fills The freeman battling on his hills— These have one fountain deep and clear— The same whence gush'd that childlike tear ! CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE BEAUTIES OF LIBERALISM. (Prom the Morning Herald.) The communication of our correspondent at Athens in reference to the " definitive refusal" of the Greek government to comply with the requisition of England as to payment of . the interest due on the Greek Loan, is deserving of serious attention. The contemptible government of Greece, in short, treats the representations of England with scorn ; and the rulers of England dare not resent the outrage. The false principles which have, during the last 20 years, regulated our foreign and domestic policy, are aow beginning to produce their appropriate and bitter fruit. Our foreign policy has made us the scoff of the feeblest state in Europe ! Our domestic policy is ad justed in conformity with the pleasure of Daniel O'Connell, and of the deadliest enemies of the protes tant institutions of England ! In this little episode in . the recent history of Greece we may discover the operation of retributive justice. England sanctioned the treacherous policy which dic tated the severance of Greece from the Ottoman em pire ; and, verily, England has her reward in the fraud which "regenerated Greece" is now perpetrating upon English interests. We aided in the infliction of a deadly wound upon " our ancient ally"—Turkey ; and our ancient enemy, Russia, forthwith "betters the in structions" which we had given to Greece. We be trayed Turkey; and Russia has taught Greece to cheat and laugh at England. We fear, moreover, to resent this dishonesty and in solence—even more than we feared fifteen years ago, to assert the principles of international justice, when the interests of Turkey, chiefly, were at issue. But will the exhibition of fear is assert the honour of England tend to regain for us the respect of Europe ? Let our history for twelve years past supply the answer. We have submitted, tamely, during that time, to insult af ter insult, from nearly all the powers of the continent. Rdssia has treated the flag of England with contempt. France, "through mistake," has treated an English ship of war as a pirate vessel is wont to be treated. " Liberal" Spain has cheated out of their pay the mer cenaries supplied by England to fight the battle of Spanish " liberalism." Portugal has swindled Eng land out of the compensation money for supressing the Portuguese traffic in slaves. Greece has " borrowed" sundry milliorts of English gold ; and when requested to recognise the debt, in the customary method, has returned a "definitive refusal." To all these outrages the English government has submitted to a degree of humility that is absolutely edifying. The tameness of the submission, however, is not found to lessen the frequency of the disgraces to which England is doomed to submit. How comes it that England dares not now to assert her dignity amongst the nations, as she was wont to do, before " liberal" principles of government came into fashion ? Has, moreover, the operation of "libe ralism" in our domestic policy atoned for its melan choly influence on our political relations with foreign countries ? _ Has " liberalism" knit together more closely the various orders of English society ? Is the monarchy more secure than it was five-and-twenty years ago ? Is the legislative authority held in higher reverence ? Are the labouring classes more deeply attached to their em ployers ? Is the institution of property less exposed to attack ? Is Ireland more firmly united to England ? Does popery plot less actively against all our establish ments in church and state ? In adopting the philosophy of "liberalism," the rulers of England adopted the doctrine, that national honour is an illusion—an illusion, moreover, of an ex ceedingly expensive kind ; and as the philosophy of "liberalism" is the philosophy of " cheapness,' the business of upholding and vindicating national honour was, forthwith, declared to be no longer imperative on English statesmen. " Liberalism" requires a " cheap" monarchy, so long as " liberalism" shall tolerate a mo narchy. " Liberalism" requires a " cheap" church— " cheap" law—" cheap" labour. But to the champions of " liberalism," as we have observed, the maintenance of national honour does not appear to rank among "cheap" things—and, therefor*, the national honour has been left to shift for itself. England, however, begins to discover, that "libe ralism" is the most expensive principle that ever ex srted its influence on the national councils. " Libe ralism" as arrayed class against class at home—while it has arrayed against the name and interests of Eng land. all the great nations of Europe. If England is destined ever to escape from the meshes of her " libe ral" policy, she will only escape after a tenfold greater cost in money than would have sufficed to maintain her honour, after the fashion in which the honour of Eng land was wont to be maintained. GENERAL AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR OCTOBER. Were we to retrace our recollections back to very distant or even remote date, it must, it is conceived, be admitted that finer and more seasonable weather than that which we have this month to record, has never been experienced. This must be considered as a happy circumstance to our farmers, since it has given them great opportunities of endeavouring to improve the condition, by a variety of plans, of the corn which was carried in bad condition, besides serving, in no ordinary degree, as a check to those unfounded and uncir estasstantiated reports relative to the growth of wheat, which were so freely put into circulation during August and Sep tember, by interested partie s still we fear it has not repaired flop actual deficiencies is the growth, or the losses by the heavy rains which fell during the first-mentioned month. That a large portion of the soil's productions will inevitably some to the various markets in a bad condition, is evidently apparent, which calls for serious attention on the part of both lwere andsonsussers. This very circumstance alone will, our opinion, reduce the profits expected to be derived from the crops fully 10 per cent on the average, notwithstanding that the value of really fine parcels will command a high range of currency daring the whole of the winter. Much of the wheat has proved, we regret to state, so sprouted and otherwise out of condition, that, in several parts of the north of England, somewhat extensive purchases of such descrip tions have been made by distillers at very low currencies. Amongst the barley growers, complaints of the stained con dition of their produce have been general, and we fear there is too much cause for apprehending a deficiency of those par cels really fit for malting purposes. Oats are, on the whole, favourably reported ; but a few breadths of this description of grain are still exposed in the fields in Derbyshire and Westmoreland. Beans and peas have not been wholly secu red, but a fair growth is expected to be realised. The tur nip crop is well spoken of, and a most abundant quantity of sound Swedes is apparent on most farina. Potato raising has been commenced in the north, several shipments having already reached the port of London, in fine condition, whilst • most bountiful growth is fully anticipated. Although co pious showers of rain have fallen in several parts of Ireland and Scotland, no material obstruction has been offered to the progress of the sickle in the northern parts ; yet the accounts received thence, but more especially from Ireland, are by no means so cheering as could be desired. In most of our great hop districts, picking appears to have been brought to a pretty general conclusion, under the most favourable au spices. An immense quantity appears to have been produced is both Kent and Sussex, on account of which, the curren cies in the London market have been by no means remune rative. The duty is estimated at £225,000. —Farmer' s Magazine for November. MORAL FEELING OF THE FINS PEASANTRY.—We offer the following as an illustration of an ignorant superstition of the peasantry of this country, and the brutal feelings which that feeling engenders. A poor man wishing to marry a fe male in the same humble rank of life as himself, both Roman Catholics, applied to the priest, but not being able to pay as large a fee as was demanded, he refused to marry him. The lover thought it would do to be legally and honourably mar ried in the established church, applied to the minister, had the banns published, and was married. What was theresult ? He had business at the present sessions at Sligo, and on pas sing down a public street in this town, he was knocked down senseless by a blow of a stone, and is at this present moment in the county infirmary. Let it be remarked he has not left the Roman Catholic church. He and his wife still go to mass. Had he got himself buckled by some degraded priest for a pint of whiskey, or even lived with the female, in vice, it.woul have been all right ; but he committed the unpar do &nee of allowing a Protestant clergyman to marry Ai 11ettny$ suffer the consequences:—Sligo Journal. -1 Pt -• • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (Prom the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.—We observed 012 Friday, that business would most probably wear a more de finite character, upon the return of several of the Lancashire speculation from Newmarket. It appears to be so ; for, al though the business has not been extensive, several horses have been backed for the Derby with sufficient freedom as to give them a more firm position, whilst others have been freely offered against, showing at once the estimation in which they are held by those gentlemen who have so recently returned from the south. The offers on the field this morning were 100 to 6, which would have been laid in a very good quarter. These odds exceed any we ever remember to have been offered against the " first favourite" for the Derby Stakes, after the racing closed at Newmarket. It shows, that there has been no public running pointedly flattering to any stable, and pro mises a succession of first favourites during the winter. Grey Milton, laid against yesterday at 30 to 1, was backed to win £6OO. at 25 to 1 ; and the acceptor would have gone on. Ano ther grey, Lord Orford's Angelica colt, was also in force, 20 to 1 was taken in ponies ; and we have no doubt there was a desire to proceed had the fieldsmen offered beyond 18 to 1. Lord Jersey's horses were not named ; 20 to 1, no doubt, would be laid against either, Maroon was in less estimation ; 100 to 3 taken, and then offered, in several quarters. Launce lot would have been backed this evening at 500 to 25 ; and 500 to 20 was offered versus Mr. Robinson's St. Andrew. The following are the average prices against the horses in most request : THE DERBY. 100 to 6 agst Mr. Wreford's Wardan—off 100 to 6 „ Marquis of Westminster's Launcelot—off take 20 to 1 18 to 1 „ Lord Orford's Angelica c—off—take 20 20 to 1 „ Ld.

THE OAKS. 70 to 20 „ Ld. G. Bentinck's Crucifix—off—t 4to TATTE RSALL'S, MONDAY. The settling for the day at Newmarket (only partially ef fected, we should imagine, from the number of inquiries made after parties who neither took the trouble to attend person ally nor by deputy) was followed by some Del-by betting, for which three horses were so very near together that we confess our inability to say which had the call at the close. The Angelica colt was supported, first at 20 to 1, and at two points less afterwards ; he had plenty of friends. Warden was backed, not with spirit, at 18 to 1, and offers made to take 20 to 1 about Launcelot ; the market price of each at the close may be stated at 18 to 1. Lord Jersey's horses were also in favour ; 20 to 1 was taken about Glenorchy, and, several offers were made to back the two at 11 to 1 (a point more than any one would bet), Muley Ishmael's price can not be more than 22 to 1. 2000 to 100 was betted against Brother to Euclid, and an advance of two points and a half made in a subsequent offer. Grey Milton was in consider able demand, 30 to 1 finding willing takers ; his next price was 28, his final one 25 to 1, offered.

THE OARS.—A slight decline in Crucifix, and one bet of 1600 to 100 about Pocahontas are all that we have to notice. 4 to 1 against Lord G. Bentinck's Crucifix 16 to 1 „ Mr. Greatrex's Pocahontas—t SHOCKING MURDER OF A FATHER BY HIS SON, AT LEES. About seven o'clock, on Sunday evening last, the inha bitants of Lees, near Oldham, were thrown into a state of great alarm and excitement, by a report, which proved but too true, that a man named John Bardsley, a rover in the mill of Mr. Peter Seville, and a man of great respectability in his station of life, had been murdered in his own house, by his son, James Bardsley, a young man, twenty-three years of age, and of the most abandoned and profligate character. It appears, that the young man by whom this dreadful offence was committed, has been for several years past an idle and turbulent fellow, the terror of his father's family and of the whole neighbourhood. A few months since, he made an attack upon his mother with a knife,—giving her several severe wounds ; and, such was her terror of him, that she left her husband, and went to live with a daughter in the United States, in order to be out of his way. Since that time, James Bardsley has absented himself from home, returning only to annoy and plunder his relations. On Sunday evening, the father, John Bardsley, was at home, reading the Bible, with his daughter and a boy, when his son, whom he had not seen for some time, entered, and began to help himself to some bread and cheese. His father reproached him for his misconduct, and desired him to leave the house : some angry words ensued, on which the son drew from a sheath, a knife, apparently provided for the purpose, and made a desperate attack upon his father, on whom he inflicted a number of frightful wounds upon his head and body. As soon as the murderer entered the house, his sister quitted it ; but, the boy had remained, and seeing the mur derous attack, he ran out to alarm the neighbours and obtain assistance. Several persons immediately hastened to the house, and found the old man lying in a pool of blood on the floor, and the murderer just rising from the body, with the bloody knife in his hand. This was immediately wrested from him, and lie was secured. A surgeon was then sent for to examine the wounds of the father ; and, Mr. Elliott, of Lees, was promptly in attendance, but his assistance was in vain, for one of the blows of the knife had pierced the apex of the heart, and the poor man bled to death in a few minutes. On examining the weapon with which this murder had been committed, it was found to be a long-bladed clasp ; knife, which had been converted into a sort of dagger, by winding string round the handle and a small portion of the blade, so as to prevent it from shutting, and the point and both edges had been ground extremely sharp, as if for some such purpose as that to which it was applied. When the murderer was apprehended, so far from showing any compunction for what he had done, he seemed to exult in the success of his attempt, and openly expressed his regret that he had not been able to murder two or three other mem bers of the family. When taken in custody to the neigh bouring inn, he immediately asked for some refreshment, and ate and drank with the utmost indifference, though his hands were at the same time covered with the blood of his murdered parent. The house in which the murder was committed stands just within the boundary of the county of York ; and the coroner had therefore to come from Halifax to hold the inquest, which was expected to take place yesterday.—Manchester Guardian of Wednesday. Mr. J. G. Vandenhoff will shortly make his appearance no the boards of our Theatre, having concluded an engagement with the manager. The metropolitan improvements are stopped, because the wise men who conducted the bill through parliament omitted a clause necessary to enable them to raise the sum of money required !-200,000.—Spectator. A WORD TO TILE WIRE.—In the Wakefield Journal of Friday we find a well written letter on the impossibility of conducting a newspaer so as to please all. The writer evi dently knows something of the subject, as the following gra phic passage will testify :—" Your news-hunters are the most assiduous class of ' Constant Readers' of any ; they are in fact real bona-tide ' Constant Readers,' but very inconstant purchasers of the paper they read, and it is the practice with this class of readers to watch the arrival of the papers at the bookseller's shops, where they flock by dozens, just to read the news ; and, having satisfied their craving appetites, make their bow, and wish the bookseller or news-vender a good morning, and walk home with the great consolation of having obtained their desire gratuitously, and saved their fourpence halfpenny This is a great evil, and must fall hard both on the news-vender and news editor. What would these gentry say, if their shops or warehouses were visited in a similar spirit of liberalism? Would they be content with suffering their goods to he inspected for an hour or two merely for the pleasure of inspection ? I fancy not. To such guidnuncs I say, if you want the news, go and buy the paper, and follow up your favourite maxim of ' Lire and let live.' "—Sheffield Patriot. PROUD DUCIIESSES.—The Duchess of Buckingham was avowedly the natural daughter of King James the Second, but supposed to be really the daughter of Colonel Graham, an admirer of her mother, Lady Dorchester. This lady, the only daughter of Sir Charles Sedley, the celebrated wit, was mistress to the King, and had a pension of five thousand per annum on the Irish Establishment. She afterwards married the Earl of Portinore, and left two sons, one Of whom suc ceeded to the title, and was grandfather to the present Earl. The Duchess was so proud of her birth, that she would never go to the Court of Versailles, because they would not give her the rank of Princess of the blood. She not only regula ted the ceremony of her own burial, but dressed up the waxen figure of herself for Westminster Abbey ; she had shewn the same insensible pride on the death of her only son, the last Duke of Buckingham, dressing his figure, and sending messages to her friends, that if they had a mind to see him lie in state, she would take them in conveniently by a back door. She sent to the old Duchess of Marlborough to borrow the triumphal car that had carried the Duke's body. Old Sarah, as mad and proud as herself, sent her word, " That it had carried my Lord Marlborough, and should never be profaned by any other corpse." Proud Buckingham returned that " she had spoken to the under taker, and he had engaged to make a finer car for twenty pounds !"—Countess of Huntingdon's Life and Times, Vol. 11. PECULIAR CHARACTERISTICS OF AUSTRALIA.—Austra lia seems to be more unlike the portions of the earth lately known to us than any part of America, or any of the islands scattered through the Pacific and Indian Seas. No volca noes have yet been discovered, and no proof of the great an tiquity of the products on its surface. Nearly all the species of plants, from the grasses to the loftiest ornaments of the forest, are new to the inhabitants of the Old World. The in digenous animals are, in several instances, of a different cha racter to any in the countries of the other quarters of the globe, while none brit the dogs have any affinity to the ani mals of this new continent ; and it is curious that its rivers and marshes are not known to contain any of the lizard or tortoise tribes, or any of the great mammalia. The native dog bears some resemblance to a mongret fox-dog, and has some characteristics indicative of its being so—the effluvium, the tenaciousness of life, its silence when dying, and its pe culiar short bark—which lead to the supposition that it is not indigenous, but a race derived from some shipwrecked ani mal. The human beings which have hitherto been found on the shores, or in the interior, are of the same species, and differ sufficiently in form to constitute a species distinct from any hitherto known. Some anomalies are evident, which be long to no other race. They have great and varied powers of mimicry, without having exhibited naturally any talent for constructiveness ; though, when instructed, they have showed an aptitude for building. It has never been ascertained that they have a definite notion of a Supreme Being, who created them, and all they see around them. They have neither idols nor sacrifices, prayers nor priests ; which places them among the lowest known in the scale of human nature. Their per ceptions are quick ; a nd, like other savage and wandering tribes, they- can discover a track where the civilized man can gee nothing to guide him. They are cunning, lively, and ca pricious, but with feelings of attachment which are to be im proved, and a sense of want and inferiority, which may be turned to good, both for the settlers and themselves, if pati ence and Christian charity are exercised towards a race whose country we seize, and whose hunting-grounds, on which their existence depends, we enclose, to feed ow eagle, and grow our corn.—Oglea Western Australia, FURTHER EXTRACTS FROM HUME AND OTHER HISTORIANS, RELATIVE TO THE REIGN OF JAMES IL, DESERVING OF PUBLIC ATTENTION AT THE PRESENT CRISIS OF PARTIES AND OPINIONS. " We are come,' said the quakers, in their address on his accession, ' to testify our sorrow for the death of otir good friend Charles, and our joy for thy being made our governor. We are told thou art not of the persuasion of the Church of England ; no more are we ; and therefore we hope thou wilt grant us the same liberty which thou allowest thyself, which doing, we wish thee all manner of happiness.' "—Home. " He told the privy council, in his first speech, in very positive words, that he would never depart from any branch of his prerogative. He expressed his good opinion of the Church of England, as a friend of monarchy ; therefore, he said, he would defend and maintain the church, and would preserve the government in church and state, as it was esta blished by law."—Bernet. The King began to say that he would be served as his bro ther had been. He would have all about him serve him without reserve, and go through in his business."—Burnet. " The nonconformists were ground between the papists, on the one hand, and the high chureh clergy on the other ; whilst the former made the advantage of the latter, concluding that when the dissenters were destroyed or thoroughly ex asperated, and the clergy divided amongst themselves, they should be a match for the establishment, and be capable of introducing that religion they had so long been aiming at. Swarms of Jesuits and regular priests were sent for from abroad, Jesuit schools and other seminaries were set up in London and the country; mass houses were erected in the most considerable towns ; five Roman Catholic bishops were consecrated in the royal chapel, and exercised their functions under the characters of vicars apostolical; their regular clergy appeared at Whitehall and St. James's in their habits, and were unwearied in their attempts to seduce the common people. The way to preferment was to be a catholic, or de mangant for the prerogative, for all state affairs were ma naged by such men."—Neale. " This opened the eyes of many of the clergy, and put them upon preaching against the Popish doctrines, that they might recover the people, and rescue the protestant religion, &c. There was hardly a week but some sermon or small treatise against Popery was printed and dispersed among the common people. The chief writers were Tillotson, Stillingflect, Te nison, Patrick, Wake, Whitby, Sharp, Atterbury, Williams, Aldrick, Buenet, Fowler," &c.—Neal. • " A parliament was summoned, and all arts were used to manage elections so that the King shall have a parliament to his mind," &c. `• In some boroughs they could not find a number of men to be depended on, so the neighbouring gen tlemen were made corporation men, and in some of them per sons of other counties, not so much as known in the borough, were named." "It was resolved to bring up petitions against some elections which were so indecently managed that it seemed scarce possible to excuse them. But these were to be judged by a majority of men who knew their own elections to be so faulty that, to secure themselves, they would justify the rest."—Bernet. " Some of the dissenters grew insolent, but the wise- men amongst them perceived the design of the Papists are now to set the dissenters against the church."—Burnet. " To humble the clergy, his Majesty created a new ecclesi astical commissiom. Though the act which took away the high commission of 1641 had provided that no court of that nature should be created for the future ; but the King, though a papist, assumed the supremacy, &c. " The Archbishop of Canterbury was afraid to act in it. Durham was so lifted up that he said his name would now be recorded in history ; and Sprat, Bishop of Rochester, in hopes of further preferment. went with the stream. Some Roman Catholics were in the commission, and consequently the enemies of the protestant religion were to be its judges." —Neale. The Papists thought by raising them (the dissenters) who had been so long depressed, to have inflamed them with re venge against their brethren—to have widened the animosi ties amongst protestants, that they might all thereby be ren dered the more sure and speedy sacrifice to their malice and cruelty ; but they did but drive the contending parties nearer to each other, and make them at last more vigorous in their united efforts to avert the common ruin."—Calamy. " That the surer way might be made to establish univer sal toleration by act of parliament, changes were made in all the corporations, and a certain sort of men called regulators, who were persons of mean fortune :Ind abilities, but of great forwardness, were sent into all parts to examine men's opi nions. They that would promise to use their interest in elections to bring in such as would comply with the King's designs, were preferred as m a y ors , a ld ermen ,"& c. —C a l amy. " In Ireland things had a still more favourable aspect for the court. The King had a greater dependence on the Irish Catholics than any of his other subjects. Col. Talbot, Earl of Tyrconnell, was made lord lieutenant, a vile and profligate officer, who scrupled no kind of barbarity or wickedness to serve his cause. He broke several Protestant officers—all officers civil and military, were put into the hands of the vilest miscreants—not a Protestant sheriff left in the king dom : the charters taken away, and new-modelled in favour of Papists."—Neale. " The King called a council, in which he declared his re solution to issue a declaration for a general liberty of con science to persons of all persuasions soever." "In the pre amble to which, he says—' That he cannot but heartily wish that all his subjects were members of the Catholic church ; yet, that it is his opinion that conscience ought not to be forced,' &c., ' that the oaths of supremacy and allegiance, &c., shall not be required.' He also repealed all laws im posing tests on those who held any employments."—Neale. " The maxim that the King set up, and about which lie entertained all that were about him, was the great happiness of a universal toleration. On this the King used to enlarge in a great variety of topics. He said nothing was more rea sonable, more Christian, more politic ; and he reflected much on the Church of England for the severities with which the dissenters had been treated. This, how true or just soever it might be, was yet strange doctrine in the mouth of a professed Papist," &c. " But since the church party could not be brought to comply with the designs of the court, ap plications were made now to the dissenters. On a sudden the churchmen were disgraced, and the dissenters were in high favour," &c.—Burnet. " Though it must be allowed," says Neale, " that some few dissenters, from an excess of joy for their liberty, or it may be from a strong resentment against their late persecu tors, published some severe pamphlets, and gave too much countenance to the measures of the court ; yet the great body of them kept at a distance, and, as thankful as they were for their liberty,' says Lord Hallifax, were fearful of the issue ; neither can any number of consideration amongst them be charged with hazarding the public safety by falling in with the measures of the court, of which they had as great a dread as their neighbours. In the last and greatest danger the church was exposed to, the dissenters joined with her, with all imaginable zeal and sincerity, against the Papists, their common enemies, showing no prejudice to the church, but the utmost respect to the bishops when sent to the Tower." " The reason of the dissenters' coldness in an affair that so nearly concerned them, and for which they have since ex pressed so strong a desire," " was no other than their con cern for the Proestant religion, and their aversion to Po pery."—Neale. " The violent advice of Father Peter and the Jesuit party, was so fatally suited to the King's own temper and passion, that they prevailed over the wiser counsels of almost all that were advised with. But the King, before he would bring the matter to the council, secretly engaged all the privy council lors to concur with him."—Burnet. " Citations were sent out, requiring the chancellors and archdeacons to send in lists of all the clergy, both of such as had obeyed, and of such as had not obeyed, the order of council. Some of these were now so animated with the sense that the nation had expressed of the bishops' imprisonment and trial, that they declared they would not obey the order, and others excused themselves in softer terms, &c. "This stopped the proceedings for that day and put the court to a stand—so they adjourned, and never sat any more.'' —Burnet. " In order to allay the heat that was raised in the nation, the King sent for the bishops." "He assured them of his affection for the church of England, and protested he had never intended to carry things beyond an equal liberty of conscience„' &c.—Burnet.

MANCHESTER.—AIthough the general gloom which hangs over this market was rather increased than diminished yes terday (Tuesday), there was some demand for certain counts and qualities of yarn suitable for the Indian market, and in ferior qualities of mule twist, from 40's to 70's, commanded rather higher prices than last week. For every other article, however, the demand was very limited, and the prices gene rally lower, particularly in shirtings, which were accordingly depressed, indeed quite unsaleable, except at a considerable sacrifice; and there seems to be no prospect of amendment until some cnange takes place in the condition of the London money-market, which exercises a powerful influence on all mercantile transactions here.—Manchester Guardian. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, Nov. 4. — There has been a very dull market again to-day, with a very limited demand for flannels of all kinds. Those manufactu rers who have made sales, have been obliged to take less mo ney than last week. When trade is any thing like brisk, November has been generally considered a busy month for the manufacturer, and the demand has usually continued good till the middle of December. This year a fair business has been doing during the summer months, and up to the begin ning of October ; but since then it has been growing consi derably worse, and if no change takes place, we fear the flan. nel weaver may expect a severe winter. The wool market has been heavy, with prices rather on the decline. BLACKBURW.—Cotton is higher from last Friday week lid. to id. per lb., yet more stagnant cloth cn.l yarn markets can scarcely be imagined, and there is not the slightest indi cation of immediate improvement in either.—Blackburn Standard. DESTRUCTION OF TILE CALCUTTA THEATRE BY FIRE. —We have seldom experienced more real pain in announcing a public calamity than we do in now putting on record what all our town readers are by this time aware of—the total destruction by fire of our long-loved Indian Drury, the Chowringhee Theatre, after standing for 30 years, a source of delight to thousands of visiters, and of support to many deserving professional artistes. Various accounts of the origin of the fire have reached us, but the true version of the business we believe to be as follows :—Some gentlemen in the marine service had been rehersing the drama of the Pilot, preparatory to its performance on the 6th instant, and had duly retired to their homes about 11 o'clock. At about 12 o'clock Mr. Chester, the secretary of the theatre, being then in bed, was suddenly roused by the ayah with cries of " Fire, fire !" lie jumped up, looked out upon the stage, with which his room communicated, and immediately encountered vo lumes of smoke, proceeding from the stage itself; the mimic scene with which the boards were covered being (ridiculous as it may seem) on fire, and the flames rapidly enveloping the wings or side scenes, and ascending to the roof. Mr. Chester saw there was not a moment to be lost. He rushed out of the house with his wife and children, and had scarcely got into the street when the whole interior became one vast flame of fire. The roof composed of the most combustible materials,—straw, tarpawlin, and wood,—soon ignited, and in a few minutes, we may say, everything was destroyed. The engines had arrived with extraordinary promptitude, and, as soon as water could be obtained they were brought to bear upon the conflagration, under the direction of Captain F. Birch and Mr. Justice M`Mahon, who used the greatest ex ertions to give direction to the labours of the firemen and to preserve order. All was in vain ; the scenery, the splendid wardrobe and paraphernalia, the valuable dramatic library, the benches, trellis-work, frame-v. - ork, curtains, cushions, the whole property in short, (excepting a clock, and the plate of the Beef Steak Club,) including all the chattels and wearing apparel of poor Mr. Chester and his family, fell to the " devouring element," and by morning's dawn nothing was to be seen but the bare masonry of the walls and a heap of smoking embers. Mr. and Mrs. Chester were, with prompt humanity, immediately offered an asylum in the house of a neighbour ; but we believe they have been rendered by this calamity so utterly destitute that the smallest assistance that can be sent them by the generous and the charitable will, we are sure, be very acceptable. We regret to hear that the house was not insured. The loss to the proprietors will consequently fall short of half a lac of rupees, in addition to which there is a debt of some 20,000 rupees, which they will now (the mortgaged property being gone) have to pay the mortgagees.—Englishman, June 1. SELECT EXTRACTS. The late Dr. Turner, master of Pembroke Hall, was ex ceeding short-sighted. One evening, whilst walking down TrUmpington-street with Dr. Barnes, they came upon three posts, which crossed the footway, at the entrance of St. Edward's-passage, when Dr. Turner suddenly, and pettishly, exeltlimed, " toys, get out of the way!' Dr. Barnes plea santly observed, Doctor, those three boys, whom you are addressing, are three post-boys," and will make way for nobody," LORD FERRERS AND PAGE THE ROBBER.—Page once stopped Lord Ferrers, upon which his Lordship pulled out a pistol, but while he held it trembled violently. The robber laughed, and took the weapon out of his hand, quietly ob serving, ".I knqw, my lord, you always carry more than one about you—let's 'have the rest." Upon hlg trial, Page pleaded that Lord Ferrers was excommunicated, and could not give evidence. He was consequently acquitted.—Countess of Huntingdon's Life and Times. SCENERY IN SCOTLAND.—If there were any drawback to the pleasure we enjoyed while luxuriating among the match less beauties of the scenery around the Scottish lakes, it arose from the reflection that these lakes are comparatively so little frequented. There are thousands of our country men who every successive summer quit their homes in quest of picturesque scenery ; but the great majority of them seek for that scenery on foreign shores, though much more beau tiful is to be witnessed in their own country. The taste, if such it can be called, which thus induces men to visit far distant lands, for the purpose of viewing their most interest ing scenery, while scenery still more interesting and beautiful is to be witnessed in their own, is at once vicious and expen sive.— Walks and Wanderings in the World of Literature, by the Author of " The Great Metropolis." PRESERVING EGGS.—The interception of the perspiration is the most effectual means of pteservinr , eggs and, however little consequence it may be to do this for ordinary domestic consumpt, it has been deemed so important in the cases of the siege of a fortified place, or of a long voyage, as to have engaged much of the attention of scientific men. Bellini and Valisnieri discovered the pores through which eggs transpire •, and if they can be completely stopped, both transpiration and putrid fermentation would be rendered impossible. To ac complish this, the first material employed by M. Reautnur was spirit of wine varnish made with lac ; but he found the cheapest and most effectual was oil or grease, with which the eggs were rubbed, or into which they were dipped. The transpiration of matter from the egg was proved to be as effectually stopped by the thinnest layer of fat, as by a thick coating, so that no sensible vestige be left on the surface of the shell, All sorts of fat, grease, or ,oil, were found well adapted to preserve eggs. M. Reaumur used butter, hogs' lard, olive oil, and similar substances, and thereby preserved eggs for nine months, as fresh as the day on which they were laid. This ingenious experimenter also varied the mode of applying the fat or oil to the eggs. It is only requisite, he says, to take on the end of the finger the bigness of a pea of butter, or any other fat, and rub it all over the shell in the same way. If it is required to have the eggs look clean, and not smeary from the operation, they may be wiped with a towel ; for enough of fat or oil goes into the pores to prevent all transpiration, without any being left on the spaces of the shell between the pores.—The Poultry Yard. THE SWAN.—Like the pea-fowl, the swan is now kept more for ornament than use, and certainly adds much to the picturesque of wood and water, in lawn or park scenery. Next to the pea-fowl, as an ornamental bird on land, the swan is the most noble and elegant on the water. Though, like the pea-fowl, they seldom appear at table, they are well worth the notice of every one having a lake or enclosed part of a river to enliven and enrich by the presence of a family of swans. It is, at the same time, in some degree useful, by keeping ponds and lakes free from weeds ; and although they have been reputed to be very destructive to the fry of fish, farther experiment and experience favour the idea that they are hPrbiverous and graniverous. They readily eat oats, or bread, or any other common vegetable, from the hand ; and when the snow is on the ground, and the water not frozen, will come regularly to be fed like other poultry. They only require feeding in severe winter weather, and the ice kept broken for them in some sheltered creek. All the mild sea son they obtain their own livelihood among the weeds in the water, or from the grass or other herbage on the banks. It cannot be doubted, however, that they obtain more food in the water than is afforded by the simple element, which is perceptible by their frequent dipping and diving with so keen a relish ; and it is notto be supposed, that they would be so fond of sailing so long on the gh.ssy surface of the lake, for the mere purpose of enjoying and exhibiting their majestic buoyancy. The pleasure they seek, and the food they find, may be, however, afforded them by the numerous insects and animalculte with which the water abounds. It is to the Mar quis of Exeter that the public are indebted for the singular discovery that swans preserve ponds free from weeds. There is a sheet of water at Burghley, about a mile in length, which used to be so overrun with weeds that three men were con stantly employed six months in every year to keep them un der. In 1796 the marquis put two pair of swans on the wa ter. They completely cleared away the weeds the first year, and none have since appeared, as the swans eat them before they rise to the surface. In the Low Countries swans are kept for the same purpose. Swans are pairing birds, and strictly monogamous : the cygnets congregate, but the old birds are the most unsocial beings in the world. Two pairs can never agree to live quietly in the same lake, or limited space of the same river ; and, therefore, a single pair give as much pleasure to an owner as any greater number. In con firmation of these views coinciding with our own experience, we have a very interesting account of the swans of the Tweed, drawn up in an elegant and most masterly manner, by the Rev. J. M. Macculloch, minister of Kelso, and published in the New Statistical Account of Scotland, in November, 1838, in which he says,—" Among birds, the swan deserves to be noticed, from the added charm which its presence gives to many of the fine scenes on the Tweed. There are, at pre sent, six white swans upon the river at Kelso, each of them fully realizing, in its smooth and graceful motion on the clear blue stream, the poet's description : ' The swan, on still St. Mary's lake, Floats double, swan and shadow. These creatures are so tame, that they readily approach the water's edge, to take crumb's of lead from passengers ; and from the pleasure they afford, they are as much prized and guarded by all classes and ages among the inhabitants, as though, like the Queen's swans on the Thames, they had the special protection of the corporation. They associate in pairs, and, what is remarkable, each pair appears to have a specific section of the river allotted to it, which it guards with the utmost jealousy against the intrusion of the others. In the case of one of the pairs, this prescriptive domain extends over a space of considerably more than a mile. The inter esting spectacle has been repeatedly witnessed, of the old swans carrying the young ones on their wings across the ra pid parts of the river, while they left them to stem the smooth water by their own efforts.”—i'he Poultry Yard. SIR WALTER SCOTT'S LIBRARY.—YOUNG AUTHORS.— The library was a spacious room. The number of books in it has been variously estimated at from 20,000 to 30,000 vols. It is unnecessary to say Sir Walter never purchased these; the greater part of them were presentation copies, either from personal friends, or from authors naturally anxious their works should meet with his approbation. Of course he had not time to read a tithe of the books thus sent him. He was too, often waitedion by young authors anxious to learn his opinion - of their manuscript before committing it to the press. His kindness and condescension on such occasions exceeded all praise. To the serious interruption ofttimes of his own literary labours, he would wade through the manuscript works of those persons, and give them such advice in the most friendly spirit, as he thought the circumstances called for.— Walks and Wanderings in the World of Literatuve, by the Author of "The Great Metropolis. DELUGES AND EARTHQUAKES IN CHINA.—M. Edward Biot has recently commenced a series o f memo i rs w hi c h are intended to give a history of the deluges, earthquakes, and alterations of the surface of the soil in China, as con tained in ancient Chinese works. Two of these memoirs have been read to the French Academy of Sciences, in- the first of which are collected the traditions concerning deluges. Of the two principal deluges which have devastated the country, one is called that of Yao, and is dated in the 24th century before our era, and the other long prior to it, is as cribed to the 35th century before the Christian era, in the time of Fo-hy, a chief from the eastern mo un t a i n s of Tibet, who drove the natives of China before him. The books which mention these catastrophes do no t a t tr ib u t e th em to an overabundance of rain, or any other definite physical cause ; but M. E. Biot is led to conclude, from geological data, Ist, That interior seas must formerly have existed in the desert of Cobi, and have since emptied by a branch of the Yellow River, and through the gorge of Tsy-chy. 2nd, That the deluge of Yao was occasioned by the simultaneous rising of two great ranges of mountains to be found on the maps ; the first having turned the course of the Yellow Ri ver, and the second that of the great Kiang, covering Can tral China with lakes and marshes, and modifying the courses of Rivers. In the second memoir is a statement relating to earthquakes, liftings up of the soil, &c. according to the Chinese annals, which remarkably confirm the facts con tained in the first. The earthquakes appear to have been as terrible in their results as those of South America, and ac companied by the same dull noises, and, in fact, are identi cal in character with those observed by M. Bousingault. STROLLING PLAYERS.—On one occasion a company of iti nerating tragedians, a set of the greatest ragamuffins I have ever seen, visited our village. One and all of them tallied admirably with the graphic description which Shakspeare has given us of the wretchedness of the strolling player. Every man of them—there were no women among them — had his entire wardrobe on his back, which was literally in tatters; and this, in conjunction with their lank cheeks, and otherwise starved appearance, presented one of the most striking possible illustrations of the extent to which human wretchedness may go. Poor fellows ! ' young and thoughtless as I then was, I could not but be struck with the painful contrast which their assumed situation presented to their real one. It deprived me of three-fourths of the gratification I should otherwise have enjoyed from their performances, when, in all the pretended dignity and conse quence of a king, I saw them at night personating majesty— heard them exultingly speaking of their millions of subjects —and of the tens of thousands of pounds with which their treasury was replenished,—while I knew that in the morning the poor creatures would be so " hard up" as to be scarcely able to muster as much of the circulating medium as would procure for them a penny roll for breakfast. —Walks and Wanderings in the World of Literature, by the Author of " The Great Metropolis." ADVENTURES WITH BUFFALO.—I was determined not to let the sun set upon my blood-guiltless head ; and, as it was only about two p.m., I mounted another horse, took my rifle, and again set out in quest of adventures. I soon found a bull in a neighbouring ravine, slightly wounded by an arrow in his flank; and, as he was near the village, a large party of women and children were answering, at a respectful distance, his roaring and bellowing by their shouts and cries. They told me to go and kill hiit. As the horse I had then mounted would not allo w me t o shoot from his back, I dis mounted, and shot a bullet into tilie bull's shoulder : after a short interval, he tottered and fell. I thought that he was just about to die, and imprudently walked up nearer to him. To my surprise he sprang up and made at me ; I waited till he came within two or three yards, then fired my second barrel, and jumped on one side. He passed over the place I had ceded to him, and after staggering on a short distance, he fell again. I reloaded my rifle, and was obliged to fire another ball, which put him out of his pain ; and then I left him to the tender mercies of the women and children, and, mounting my horse, cantered over the hills, in search of more game.—l was soon aware of a fine bull, enjoying its solitary range at the distance of a quarter of a mile. I gave chase, and after a gallop of two or three miles I came along side the enemy ; but my Indian nag would not allow me to shoot off his back ; the moment I presented my rifle, he would wheel and jump, so as to preclude all possibility of taking aim. The bull chased me about fifty yards, but find ing he had no chance of overtaking me, stopped and stamped. I dismounted, and a pitched battle now ensued, in which Parday's double-barrel ultimately gained the day ; but I never met an animal so tenacious of life. He did not fall till he received my fourth ball in the heart ; two having pierced him before, not more than three inches from the heart, and one having entered his eye, which I aimed at, in the expectation of thereby reaching his brain. I now re turned to the camp, sa ti s fi e d w i t h m y d a y's spoil. I might have killed three times as many with half the trouble, had I chosen to remain with the chiefs in the centre of the " cerne," and assist in the medlv-massecre ; but I could see no sport or excitement in a scene resembling too closely the shambles; besides .which, it is impossible to have the un divided glory, as the greater number are piefted by three or four arrows, and you must either kill some other hunter's wounded buffalo, or let him kill what you have wounded, neither of which alternatives a sportsman would choose to adopt. I cannot say exactly the amount of the day s slaughter, but it was between five and six hundred.-21fur ray'a North America. TIDE TABLE. Days. Nen. I;vn. I Height. H. U. IT. P. 1.

About a mile from Cambridge stands the little church of Maddingley, in a line with the long walk of Trinity College, in that university. The late eminent Professor Porson, on one occasion, whilst walking with a friend down that avenue, observed to him. " I never walk down this path but it con veys to my mind the termination of a divinity fellowship at college—the prospect of a small church a long way before him." ANTICIPATED RESULTS FROM THE. DAdodEßltttrtYPE. —What we may yet expect from the Daguerreotype is finely shown by the philosophic Arago :—" To copy the millions and millions of hieroglyphics which extireiy cover to the very exterior the great monuments at Thebes, Memphis, Carnac, &c. would require scores of years, and legions of artists: With the Daguerreotype, a single man would s uffice to brin g to a happy conclusion this vast labour. Arm the Egyptian Institute with two or three of Daguerre's instruments, and on several of the large engravings in that Celebrated work, the fruit of our immortal expedition, vast assemblages of real hieroglyphics would replace fictitious or conventional charac ters. At the same time these designs shall incomparably surpass in fidelity, in truth of local colour, the works of the ablest artists. Again, these photographic delineations hav ing been subjected, during their formation, to the rules of geometry, shall enable us, with the aid of a few simple data, to ascertain the exact dimensions of the most elevated parts, and of the most inaccessi - le edifices. The preparati on employed by M. Daguerre is a re-agent Elwell more sen sible to the action of light than any other hitherto in use. Never have the rays of the moon, we do not say in a natural state, but even when concentrated by the most power ful lens, or in the focus of the most powerful reflector, been capable of producing any perceptible physical effect. The plated discs prepared by Daguerre, on the contrary, receive, impressions from the action of the lunar rays and the suc ceeding operations to such an extent as permits the hope that we shall be in a situation to make photographic charts of our satellite. In other words, in a few minutes we shall be able to execute one of the longest, most tedious, and most delicate operations of astronomy. Let us not hesitate, then, to announce the fact ; the re-agents discovered by Daguerre will speed onwards the progress of those sciences which con fer the highest honour on the human mind. By their aid the philosopher will be enabled henceforth to proceed on the principle of absolute intensities : he will compare lights by their effects. If he finds it useful, the same tablet will pre sent him with the impression of the dazzling beams of the sun, and with the pencillings of rays three hundred thou sand times fainter than those of the moon—the rays of the stars. In short, when observers apply a new instrument to the study of nature, what they expected from it has always proved little indeed, compared with the series of discoveries which the instrument originated. In this instance it is upon .the unforeseen that we are especially to reckon." Abipptng Entrlligentr, TUESDAY, Nov. S.—N.N.W.

(From the Circular Messrs. James Scott and Son.) We have had very limitimports of all kinds of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal during the past week, which, together with a con tinued demand from the millers and dealers of this district, and purchases for shipment coastways and to Ireland, has caused the prices of old Wheats to still further advance Oct to lid per 701bs. A better demand has also arisen for the finer kinds. No change in the value of new Irish. A steady demand has continued for Flour; American must be quoted Is to 2s per barrel, and English and Irish Is 6d per sack dearer. A slight advance has occurred on Oats, Beans, and ov. Malting Barley, the latter continuing very scarce. In other articlts no alteration can be noticed. The duty on foreign Grain continues unaltered, except on Beans, which are reduced la, 6d per quarter; very little doing in bonded Grain of any kind. At this day's market the attend was numerous, and a considerable Flour at the advance above-noted WnEAT, per 701bs a. d. s. d. English Scotch 10 0 11 0 Irish 6 6 9 g Bonded BARLEY, per qr.
