Mar Ashley,- the Factory Girl; or, Facts upon Fac toici." fly Frederick Montagu. Part 1. London: , Johnson • Manchester : 13ancks and Co. Tllis mirk is avowedly undertaken in opposition to that copular publication " Michael Armstrong, or The Factory Boy," by Mrs. Trollope—a publication which is strikingly characterized by that tone of exaggeration which: pervades all the Writings of that talented lady. The Abject of that work is, undoubtedly, the universal and unmitigated condemnation of manufactories and mandacturers. The author of the work before us professes to undertake the task of placing before the publik a correct statement of the actual condition of the employers and the employed in the manufacturing distriks: He challenges either the self-interested, the politichily-interested, or the self-styled " friends of humanity," to prove that the factory children are not comparatively better taken care of—better educated — in better health—live better—are better clothed—and much better paid—than any trade individually, or the whole of the working classes collectively, throughout Her 144jesty's British dominions.

The Shannon bill has passed through the committee of the House of Commons, but not without an, ex posure, most unwelcome to Mr. Spring Rice.. It was intended to smuggle the job through parliament ; hut, thanks to Mr. Finch, Mr. Ellis, and Mr. William Wil liams, who manfully resisted the leading men of both parties, that design has been defeated. Mr. Rice was compelled to undertake a formal defence of the mea sure for improving his own and his neighbour's pro perty. He confessed, that for two good miles his broad acres are washed by the Shannon, into which all the money is to sink ; and, that several thousands are to be appropriated to a pier and quays in his own sweet town of Tarbet, to which, by the way, it was intended to have carried a railway at a public cost. Mr. Rice's estate is, doubtless, a good one ;_ and, if it be capable of improvement, why does he not improve it, as an English gentleman would, at his own cost ? Is it not enough that he is Chancellor of the Exchequer, his son a Commissioner of Customs, his daughter one of the Queen's maids of honour, all with handsome salaries paid by the public ? Must the nation also expend thousands in raising the rents of the family property ? So it appears : and on the direct personal application of the finance minister himself ! So much for Mr. Rice : now for the public grounds on which this job is defended. Seven millions, 'said the Chancellor, had been granted for public works in England ; and how can you refuse half a million to Ireland ? You have thrown away millions, exclaimed Mr. O'Connell, in England ; and yet you grudge this paltry, stingy grant for a great na- , - tional improvement in Ireland ! Positively an inno cent or idle M.P„ trusting these sincere gentlemen, would suppose, that the Shannon claim was a first and solitary demand—that poor Ireland had never yet touched a shilling of the public money, while seven millions sterling had been advanced for public works in England. But what are the facts ? Studiously kept back, they have at last been brought to light. On Monday evening a set of returns, repeatedly inquired for, but, on various pretexts, delayed for months, were laid on the table of the House of Com Mons : they exhibit the amount of public money advanced to Ire land from June, 1800, to June, 1839: and what does the reader suppose is the amount ? Eight millions eight hundred and twenty-seven thousand pounds ! We subjoin an analysis, which explains the order of arrangement adopted in the return, the gross amount of public money advanced under each separate head of account, and also serves as an index of reference to the whole details.

Nor let it be for gotten, that it was the intention of the Irish party in the government to have procured two millions and a half more for railways; and, had they succeeded, the charge against Ireland would have been raised to the enormous sum of eleven millions. Seven millions, says Mr. Rice, have been advanced for public works in England, and thereupon a profit has accrued of £370,000. Ireland has received nearly nine millions; why did not Mr. Rice state the profit on that account. It is yet possible that this job may be stopped. The lords are under no obligation to feed the Irish leech, which incessantly cries "Give, give." _ They are not bound to pacify O'Connell and the Irish members with grants of the public money. They would find this a safer interference with a money bill of the Commons, than the contemplated stoppage of the penny post. The Shannon bill should be thrown out, not because the public are averse or indifferent to the improvement of Ireland ; nor because they deem it unfit or impolitic that England, a rich country, should assist Ireland, a poor country—one, too, which has suffered much wrong at the hands of the other; but because these advances have always been jobs (and what better are they now ?)—because they corrupt members of parlia ment, and corrupt the people. PENNY POSTAGE BILL. The following are the principal clauses in the above bill : The preamble declares the expediency of one uniform rate of penny postage, parliament pledging itself to make good any deficiency in the revenue. Clause 1, empowers the Lords of the Treasury to alter and fix the rates of postage according to the weight of letters without reference to distance, and alter or repeal any such altered or reduced rates, and make others in lieu of them by warrant, such warrants to he inserted in the London Ga zette ten days at least before coming into operation, and to be laid before parliament. 2. Such rates to be charged by and paid to the Postmaster- General. 3. Lords of the Treasury may suspend, wholly or in part, the privilege of franking, either parliamentary or official. 4. Lords of the Treasury may suspend, wholly or in part, letters sent by the twopenny or penny post, and subject such letters to the same rates as any other letters. 5. Lords of the Treasury may direct, that letters written on stamped paper, or inclosed in stamped covers, or ha v i ng a stamp affixed thereto, such stamp being of the required amount according to weight, to pass free of postage ; stamps, &c., once used, being no longer available. 6. Lords of the Treasury may direct the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes to provide proper dies and other imple ments for stamps. 7. Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes must keep a sepa rate account of stamp duties arising under the act; and Lords of the Treasury may direct them to pay over such sums to the Receiver-General of the Postoffice, at the Bank of England ; such sums to be held by him, liable to all changes to which the Postoffice revenue is at present liable. 8. Rates or duties to be deemed stamp duties, and subject to all regulations for collection, prevention, and punishment of fraud or forgery, in like manner. 9. Letters to be sent as the Postmaster-General, with the consent of the Lords of the Treasury, will direct. 10. Masters of outward-bound vessels to any place, to take charge of any post letter bag tendered to him by an officer of the Postoffice for conveyance, subject to penalties for refusal, and entitled to the same gratuities as the master of any other vessel, not being a post-office packet. 11. Lords of the Treasury may alter gratuities to masters of vessels. 12. The word " letter" or " letters" to include newspa pers, and any other packet, paper, article, or thing, trail nutted by the post, but not to deprive newspapers of any pri vilege they now possess of passing free of postage. 13. Three of the Lords of the Treasury to be a quorum. 14. The act to cease and determine on the sth October, 1840. 15. Act may be amended or repealed during the present session. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER.—The uncertainty which still hangs over the Liverpool cotton market appears to prevent the restora tion of confidenCe here. The demand for yarn yesterday was rather more limited than on the preceding Tuesday ; and the buyers generally endeavoured to supply themselves at lower prices. In this attempt, however, they were not very suc cessful ; the business done being generally at the prices of yesterday week, but those prices were by no means so readily obtained as on that day. In goods, also, there was not quite so much doing, with the exception of printing cloth, which was about the same as on yesterday week, though scarcely so good as on Saturday last.—Manchester Guardian. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY 29. 2 --The demand for flannels has not been so good to-day as in former weeks. In prices there is no change to report. The wool market still remains heavy, and the manufacturers are want ing to purchase for less money.—Manchester Guardian. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JULY 30.—We have nothing new to report in the aspect of this market. The same lifeless ness existed this week as for several weeks past. Notwith standing, a fair trade is done to order, and few goods are brought to market. Prices also remain firm. The warehouses continue doing a steady, and, we have reason to believe, not an unprofitable, business.—Manchester Guardian. BLACKBURN.—No change of any moment has taken place during the past week, either in the yarn or cloth markets ; and both may be considered, especially the former, as below par when compared with the cotton market. The unfavour able state of the weateer, too, with regard to harvest opera tions, must have a correspbndent influence upon all our nome commercial operations, and seriously affect our autumnal transactions.—Blaekburn Standard. We are happy to perceive that Viscountess Milton has pre sented her lord with a son, who is prospective heir to the ex tensive estates of the Fitzwilliam familv.—Herald, ~,. .:' QUACKS AND QUACKERY. (From " Physic and Physicians—a Medical Sketch Book.") Every age has its peculiar delusion. It was Voltaire who said, alluding to the election for members of Parliament, " that Englishmen went mad every seven years." Had he lived in the present day, and witnessed the infatuation exhi bited for every startling medical humbug, he would have felt disposed to think that a certain portion of the nation had annual fits of mental derangement. No sooner does one species of quackery bud into existence, flourish, and retire to the tomb of all the capulets, than another starts into life and activity, exciting the admiration of all the old women and weak-minded men, ever ready to swallow the most incredu lous and preposterous stories as if they were delighted in being imposed upon. The most striking delusion or monomania of the present day is that of the homeopathists—the infinitesimal doctors who believe in the virtues of the millionth billionth, and trillionth part of a grain of magnesia and rhubarb, and pre dict the most wonderful cures to result from the exhibition of these unappreciable doses of medicine. Doctor Quin, we understand, is amassing considerable wealth by his homoeopathic practice; and yet, when iil him self, he places no faith in his own doctrine, but sends for his allopathic friend, Mr. Liston. This is one of the grossest delusions ever practised on the credulity of the public, and which men of honour and principle ought to shrink from, as one would do from the sting of an adder. The principle upon which the system is founded is, to a certain extent, true, and we quarrel not with it, but we do with its general application. How easy it is for an unprinci pled man, professing to practice the homoeopathic doctrine, to deceive his patients, and to cure them on allopathic prin ciples, leading them all the time to believe that he is doing the reverse. Who can tell that the powders which these quacks give, contain such minute doses of medicines ? We have only their word for it, and are they to be trusted? An allopathic physician, when requested to prescribe for a patient, writes a prescription which any chemist understands and can prepare. He cannot deceive Us ; but how different is the conduct of those who profess to practice this new-fangled dogma. It is founded in imposition. Its very essence is deceit, and as such every honest man ought to repudiate it. We have said more, however, on this subject than we in tended. The bubble will soon burst, and then the public will wonder how they could be so easily deceived. "The homoeopathic system, Sir, just suits me to a tittle, It proves of physic, any how, you cannot take too little; If it be good in all complaints to take a dose so small, It surely must be better still to take no dose at all." This is sound logic, and we recommend our homoeopathic readers to lose no time in acting upon it. Some time since a soi doisant quack doctor sold water of the pool cf Bethesda, which was to cure all complaints, if taken at the time when the angel visited the parent spring, on which occasion the doctor's bottled water manifested, he said, its sympathy with the fount, by being thrown into a state of perturbation. Hundreds of fools were induced to purchase the Bethesda-water, and watched for the commo tion and the consequence, with the result to be expected. At last one, less patient than the rest, went to the quack, and complained that though he had kept his eye constantly on the water for a whole year, he had never yet discovered anything like the sign of an angel in the bottle. " That's extremely strange,' exclaimed the doctor, " what sized bottle did you buy, Sir ?" Patient. A half-guinea one, doctor. 'Doctor. Oh, that accounts for it. The half-guinea bot tles contain so small a quantity of the invaluable Bethesda water, that the agitation is scarcely perceptible; but if you buy a five-guinea bottle, and watch it well, you will in due time see the commotion quite plainly, sympathising with that of the pool when visited by the angel. The patient bought the five-guinea bottle as advised, and kept a sharp look-out for the angel until the day of his death. One of the most impudent quacks ever known was Mon sieut Villars, of Paris, who lived about 1728. When a funeral passed, he would shrug up his shoulders in pity, saying, `• If the deceased had taken his he would not be where he is." At length his nostrum got into fame, and the quack amassed wealth. His prescription with his medicine (which was nothing more than the water of the Seine, and a little nitre,) or rather his observation, was generally this :—" It is your own fault if you be not perfectly cured; you have been intemperate, and incontinent ; renounce these vices, and with the aid of my medicine, you will live to a good old age." The Abbe Pons extolled this quack, and gave him the pre ference to Mareschal de Villars. " The latter," said he, " kills men ; the former prolongs their existence." Sir William Read, a quack doctor, died in 1715. He was knighted by Queen Anne, on which the following lines were written on him by Mr. Gevonnett " The Queen, like Heaven, shines equally on all, Her favours now without distinction fall ; Great Read, and slender Hannes, both knighted show That none their honours shall to merit owe ; That Popish doctrine is exploded quite, Or Ralph bad been no duke, and Read no knight ; That none may virtue or their learning plead, This has no grace, and that can hardly read." A quack, who lived in the time of Louis XI., told the king, that a lady whom his Majesty delighted to. honour, would die in eight days, which having happened the king caused the quack to be brought before him, and commanded his servants not to fail to throw him out of the window, when he gave a specified signal. As soon as the king saw him, he observed, You pretend to understand astrology as well as medicine, and to know exactly the fate of others, tell me, this moment, what will be yours, and how long you have to live ?" " Sire," answered he, without showing any symptoms of fear, " I shall die just three days before your Majesty." The ready answer of the quack saved his life. The Duke de Robin being taken ill in Switzerland, sent for one of the most famous physicians, who called himself Monsieur Thibaud. " Your face, Sir," said the duke to him, "is not quite unknown to me, I think. Pray, where have I seen you before?" "At Paris, perhaps, my lord duke, where I had the honour to be farrier to your grace's stables. I have now a great reputation as a physician. I treat the Swiss as I used to do your horses, and I find, in general, I succeed as well. I must request your grace not to make me known, for if so, I shall be ruined." Mantaccini, the famous charlatan- of Paris, was a young man of good family, and having in a few years squandered a large estate, and reduced himself to beggary, he felt that he must exercise his ingenuity or starve. In this state of mind he cast his eyes round the various devicets which save from indigence, and are moat favoured by fortune. He soon per ceived that charlatanism was that on which this blind bene factress lavished her favours with most pleasure, and in the greatest abundance. An adroit and loquacious domestic was the only remaining article of all his former grandeur; he dressed him up in a gold-laced livery, mounted a splendid chariot, and started on the tour under the name, style, and title, of " the celebrated Dr. Mantaccini, who cures all diseases with a single touch, or a simple look." Not finding. that he obtained as much practice as his daring genius anticipated, he determined to resort to still higher flights. He left Paris, and modestly announced himself at Lyons as " the celebrated Dr. Mantaccini, who revives the dead at will." To remove all doubt, lie declared that in fif teen days he would go to the common church-yard, and restore to life its inhabitants, though buried for ten years. This declaration excited a general rumour and murmur against the doctor, who, not in the least disconcerted, applied to the magistrate, and requested that he might be put under a guard to prevent his escape, until he should perform his undertaking. The proposition inspired the greatest confi dence, and the whole city came to consult the clever empyric, and purchase his Lannie de vie. His consultations were most numerous, and he received large sums of money. At length the famous day approached, and the doctor's valet fearing for his shoulders, began to manifest signs of uneasi ness. " You know nothing of mankind," said the quack to his servant, "be quiet." Scarcely had he spoken these words, when the following letter was presented to him from a rich citizen :—" Sir, the great operation which toil are going to perform, has broken my rest. I have a wife buried for some time, who was a fury, and I am unhappy enough already without her resurrection. In the name of Heaven do not make the experiment. I will give you fifty louis to keep your secret to yourself." In an instant after two dash ing beaux arrived, who, with the most earnest supplications entreated him not to raise their old father, formerly the greatest miser in the city, as, in such an event, they would be reduced to the most deplorable indigence. They offered him a fee of sixty louis, but the doctor shook his head in doubtful compliance. Scarcely had they retired, when a young widow, on the eve of matrimony, threw herself at the feet of the quack, and with sobs and sighs, implored his mercy. In short, from morn till night, the doctor received letters, visits, presents, fees, to on excess, which absolutely overwhelmed him. The minds of the citizens were differently and violently agitated, some by fear, and others by curiosity, so that the chief magistrate of the city waited upon the doc tor, and said, " Sir, I have not the least doubt, from my experience of your rare talents, that you will be able to ac complish the resurrection in our church yard the day after to-morrow, according to your promise ; but I pray you to observe that our city is in the utmost uproar and confusion ; and to consider the dreadful revolution the success of your experiment must produce in every family ; I intreat you, therefore, not to attempt it, but to go away, and thus restore tranquillity to the city. In justice, however, to your rare and divine talents, I shall give you an attestation in due form, under our seal, that you can revive the dead, and that it was our own fault we were not eye-witnesses of your power. This certificate was duly signed and delivered, and Dr. Mantaccini left Lyons for other eities to work new mira cles. In a short time he returned to Paris, loaded with gold, where he laughed at the popular credulity. Among our notices of distinguished quacks, we must not omit to mention the celebrated Count Cagliostro and his lady. They pretended to a knowledge of a practice, whereby everlasting youth might be obtained. The roses were to flourish unabated on the cheek of age, without the aid of cosmetics. The couple first made their debut at St. Petersburgh ; the countess, who was not more than twenty, used to speak without the least affection of her eldest son, who had been for along time a captain in the Dutch guards. This pheno menon, of grinding old people young, in so visible and charming a manner, could not fail to astonish the ladies, who are generally so expert in diminishing, instead of adding to their years. They flocked to consult her ; she advised them to use the count's nostrums. Treasures flowed in ; true, the ladies did not grow young again, but their lovers assured them they did; and Cagliostro was almost deified. So well did this worthy couple play this game, that a great Russian princebecame sensible to the charms of the countess. The empress heard of it ; she summoned the syren to her presence. The countess lied so well, and so audaciously, that it passed for currency, and her absence was bought by a present of 20,000 roubles ! A Russian mother, whose child was dying, gave 5000 louis d'ors to recover it; the count engaged to do so, if he were allowed to take it home for eight days ; the child was returned healthy and well, but it did not happen to be the same ; he had bought one, after having burnt the original child that would die, to make an experi ment of regeneration ; all this he confessed. The money was required back, but the usual answer, " No money re turned," was the result. They then favoured Warsaw with a visit, and adroitly enlisted on their side the priests and the poor. At this city, and at Paris, these impostors realized large sums of money. Morality and decency forbid us from entering into a minute detail of the abominations which they had recourse to, in order to effect their nefarious purposes. An empyric of the first water, net many years ago, had made himself famous for the cure of all human maladies, by the administration of peculiar pills, of his own invention. What contributed not a little to the increase and spread of his reputation, was the fact, that he used frequently to tell his patients, that from their symptoms, he was confident some particular substances were lodged in a portion of the alimentary canal. At one time, he would tell a patient that he had apple-seeds retained in his bowels; and, again, he would tell another that he had kernels of different fruits, and grains, in his stomach ; and if by questioning the gentlemen, he could ascertain they were fond of shooting, it was not seldom that he attributed their complaints to having acci dentally swallowed a few shot. As nothing could so conclu sively prove his prognostics correct, as the simple fact of finding the articles named, the quack's character for wisdom and skill became more and more firmly established; for the identical causes of mischief were invariably discovered, after taking a dose of the big pills. At length, a lady of the first respectability, having suffered a long time from deranged digestion, applied to this celebrated quack for assistance. After a few questions, he told her very promptly, that he un derstood her complaint, that he knew what ailed her, and more than all, that her doctor was a fool; and assured her that his big pills would effect a cure. Neither of these asses- Cons she exactly credited •, but nevertheless, concluded to try his remedy, if he would make known to her the com plaint. ". Why," says he, " you have got lemon-seeds in you—you must take some of my pills, and get rid of them, and you'll be perfectly well again." " Why, doctor," said the lady in amazement, " I have not eaten a lemon for six years ; and what you say, is quite impossible." "No matter, madam, if you have not eaten a lemon for twenty years, the fact is just as I tell you, and if you will take the pills, you can be satisfied yourself." The pills were taken, and to the utter astonishment of the, patient, the lemon-seeds were found ; a second dose was taken, and still more seeds made their appearance. A thought now flashed upon the lady's mind. One pill was yet left, which she examined, and, behold ! a lemon-seed in its centre—the secret truly of the doctor's astonishing wisdom, and successful practice. Dr. Simon Forman, a celebrated physician and astrologer, lived in Lambeth. This man was implicated in the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury, hut he died in 1611, before the trial. Forman was notorious long before his connexion with Lady Essex, and excited a vast deal of jealousy ou the part of the medical practitioners of London, by giving unlicenced advice to the sick, as well as by casting nativities ; but he was at length able to procure a degree from Cambridge. The follow ing lines refer to him : " Dr. Forman, in art a poor man You calculate nativities ; And by your almanack out of date, tell a fool his fate By celestial privities. " Though to your great expense, you did commence In the famous University; Yet, by such a hap, an ass may wear a velvet cap, And there's the true diversity." No subject calls more loudly for the interference of the le:- gislature than that of quackery. Yet, the question has so many ridiculous sides, that the public, while they laugh, al low imposition of the most palpable kind to flourish and suc ceed. -It is indeed characteristic of the nation, that the grossest public injuries affecting the state, or the public health, are overlooked, while they afford materials for joke and merriment. When we see one of H.B.'s inimitable sketches, representing the prime minister's neck under the foot of the " member for all Ireland," or the lender of the House of Commons, or the Chancellor of the Exchequer dancing a-la-Rice, a long score of indignation is paid off; their obnoxious measures are for the moment forgotten ; we are sensible only to present impressions, and feel grateful for the ludicrous association of face and dress. In like man ner, when in gazing into a print shop we see the representa tion of a patient who has been dosed, risque ad nauseam, with the vegetable pills," 'sprouting out in luxhriant vege tation, as the effect of the medicine taken, to look " grave, exceeds all power of face ;" and the misery, wretchedness, pain, and death, which we know to have resulted from the use of the nostrum is forgotton, in the midst of the ridicu lous ideas which tile print excites in our mind. POPE'S VILLA.—Sir Matthew Waller has disposed of Pope's Villa, at Twickenham, to Mr. Raphael, of Carlow- O'Connell notoriety. The purchaser, who prefers prose to poetry, having bought it upon speculation, means to pull it down immediately. ANSWER TO MR. LUCAS'S "REASONS FOR BECOMING A ROMAN CATHOLIC." By Guido Sorelli, of Florence, the converted Roman Catholic, author of "My Confessions," translator of Milton, and Professor of Languages.—" No thing could be more appropriate than that this excellent gentleman should reply to the preposterous nonsense of Mr. Lucas, who pretends to be converted from the new religion of George Fox, the father and founder of Quakerism, to the new religion of Pope Pius IV, who may be termed the father and founder of Popery. We say that Mr. Lucas pretends to be converted to Popery, because is is not at all impossible that he has been a Papist all through the piece. We do not believe that any Popish Jesuit would mind becoming a Quaker, just for the sake of afterwards becoming a convert to Popery, and publishing his reasons for doing so. How ever, be it as it may, Guido Sorelli has answered him effectu ally. We say answered him, and we mean what we say in the fullest sense of the term ; for he has produced a capital reply to him—one which neither be nor any Papist ever will, or ever can, overthrow ; and sincerely do we thank Guido Sorelli for his admirable and timely pamphlet."—Comervative Journal. A PLEASANT MISTAKE.:—Last week a gentleman of Pres ton, carpet bag in hand, went bustling to one of the coach offices in that town, opposite which two or three coaches were preparing to start, and having booked for the pleasant watering place, Blackpool, sallied forth and at once ensconced himself snugly in the inside of the vehicle, and gave himself up to gratifying anticipations of the pleasure that awaited him when his journey was ended. In a few minutes four spanking horses whirled the coach over the jolting stones of Preston streets, and for a couple of hours our friend of the carpet bag was buried in his own thoughts. At the expira tion of that period, however, he began to imagine he ought to be approaching his destination, and anxious to know some thing definite on that head, he popped his face out of the and complacently said, " Coachman, how far are we from Blackpool? ' " Blackpool " responded Jarvey, "God bless your soul, this is a Leeds coach, and we are now at Altham, between Blackburn and Burnley." N.B.—Black pool is due west, and Leeds due east from Preston.—Black burn Standard. HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.—The Journal de Lot-el-Garonne mentions a horrible outrage as having been committed on the 18th instant, at Tonneins, in that department. An inhabitant of that town, accompanied by his daughter, 21 years of age and of great beauty, a young female friend of hers, and three young men of their acquaintance, had been enjoying an even ing walk by the river side, and were returning home across tho fialde when they were attacked by eight or ten men , who at once declared their intention of possessing themselves of the persons of the young women. A desperate conflict en sued ; four of the ruffians kept the young men at bay, while the remainder set on the father and two girls. They soon forced his daughter from his arms, and dragged her away, while her father who was an invalid, hung on by her dress, and was drawn along the ground. One of the men turned round, and, giving him some violent blows on the head, left him for dead. They then carried the poor young girl to a great distance across the open country, until they arrived at a house, where a woman allowed them to enter; and where they perpetrated their atrocious crime on their victim. In the meantime the other young woman had escaped after some bad treatment, and, running to the river, concealed herself among some rushes on the bauk,in which place she was after wards found. The three young men had defended themselves courageously against their assailants, who were considerably stronger, and one of them, armed with a poniard, wounded two of the ruffians so badly that they succeeded in capturing them, while the two others escaped. Information was im mediately given to the gendarmerie of Tonneins, and they set out in quest of the young woman who had been carried off. The father was found and brought back; and at lingth they discovered his daughter sitting under a tree, to which, after the villains turned her out of the house, she had with great difficulty dragged herself. Independently of the wounds and other severe injuries which she had received, her ears had been slit by the pulling out of her ear-rings by violence, and her ravishers had forced her rings off her fingers with their teeth, leaving her hands dreadfully lacerated. She was conveyed back to Tonneins in a most dangerous condi tion. The men who had been guilty of this diabolical at tempt, with the exception of the two .already mentioned, had not been arrested. The utmost indignation and excitement is stated to prevail at Tonneins and in the surrounding dis tricts.—Galignani. 'artets. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 1. There has been less doing in Cotton the last few days, and holders have yielded id to id per lb. in the prices of American ; whilst other descriptions are without alteration : the sales yesterday were 3000 bales, and to-day 3500: American 6id to 9d, Pernams 9d to 91d, Bahia 8d to gad, Maranham Sid to 91d, Egyptian lid to 131 d, and Surat aid to SELECT EXTRACTS. NATURE'S WORKMEN. — There are three creatures, the squirrel, the field-mouse, and the bird called the nut-hatch, which live much on hazel nuts, and yet they open them each in a different way. The first after rasping off the small end, splits the shell into two with his long ore-teeth, as a man does with his knife, the second nibbles a hole with his teeth, as regular as if drilled with a wimble, and yet so small that one would wonder how the kernel can be extracted through it ; while the last picks an irregular ragged hale with its bill ; but as this artist has no paws to bold the nut firm while he pierces it,—like. an adroit workman, he fixes it, as it were';in a vice, in some cleft of a tree, or in some crevice, when, standing over it, he perforates the stubborn shell:—White's Natural History of Selborne. VALVE OF A GOOD CHARACTER.—Mr.Bebbage remarks, " High character supplips the place of an additional portion of capital; and the merchant, in dealing with the great ma nufacturer, is saved from the expense of verification, by knowing that the loss, or even the impeachment, of the ma nufacturer's character would be attended with greater pe cuniary detriment to himsef than any profit upon a single transaction could compensate. To such an extent is this confidence in character carried, that, at one of our largest towns, sales and purchases an a very extensive scale are made daily in the course of business, without any of the parties ever exchanging a written document. The amount of well grounded confidence which such a practice, is one of the many advantages au old manufacturing country always pos sesses over its rivals." IMPROVED TUNING F ORK.—IMPORTANT TO PRECEN TORS.—We have been favoured with an inspection of an improved tuning fork, invented and constructed by a me chanic of this place. The peculiarity of the improved fork is, that it is not like the common fork, restricted to the pro duction of one note, but may be made to produce any note within the compass of two or three octaves. This is accom plished by extremely simple means. A stop is made to slide stiffly between the prongs, the effect of which is to check the vibrations in the portions of the prongs included between the stop and the handle. The effective length of the prongs be ing thus diminished, the rapidity of their vibrations is in creased, and the pitch consequently raised. In the fork now before us, the fundamental—that is, the note yielded without the use of the stop—is D below the first line of the stave ; and the positions of the stop, for the production of the other notes of the scale, up to C (beyond which the inventor has not yet carried his divisions), are marked on the prongs.— These positions are of course, in the first instance, ascertained by trial. It appears to us that this improved fork requires only to be known to come into general use.—Aberdeen Journal. ANCIENT AND MODERN STEAM ENGINE DUTY.—In the course of a well digested lecture on the steam engine, by Mr. Sims, of Chacewater, delivered at the Truro Institution, a comparison was drawn between the engines of Watt's time, and those of the present day. As nearly as the average of the former could be obtained, their duty could not he more than 15,000,000 lbs. lifted a footligh by the consumption of a bushel of coal; while in MessrT. Lean's report for the last month, the average duty of sixty-one pumping-engines was found to be 54,000,000 lbs. Those sixty-one engines con sumed, for a month, 4,283 tons of.coal, and lifted 31,000,000 tons of water 100 fathoms high. The same number of en gines in Watt's time, would do the same work, consume 15,418 tons of coal, which at 15s. would be £11,563 ; from which, deducting 3,211, the cost of working at the present day, there would remain £8,352 .per month, or upwards of £100,500 a-year saved in fuel on sixty-one engines. The greatest load lifted by any engine now at work in this county was by one in the Consolidated Mines, which raised a load of 9,000 lbs. every double stroke it made, and did this nine times a minute, amounting to 567,022 tons lifted 7 ft. 6 in. in twenty-four hours ; and this astonishing machine could he started, stopped, or regulated, by a little boy. —Mechanics' Magazine. MISSIONARIES IN NEW ZEALAND.-Why is it, then, that the Christian religion, as exhibited iu the teaching of the missionaries of the Church Missionary Soeiety, has hitherto - taken so slight a bold-for such is unquestionably the tact — on the hearts and affections of the New Zealanders ' • for while the baptized .natives do not exceed two hundred and fifty altogetlusr, there are. frequent instances of apostacy even. among them ? Why, my .Lord, although the ministers of the gospel are in no respect responsible for the,. success of their ministry, provided they discharge. the duties of their office • honestly and conscientiously, it is nevertheless undeniable, that if they do not engage in their work with a single eye to the glory of. God and the extension of the kingdom of Christ, but endeavour to serve " God and Mammon,', their %Worts will undoubtedly issue in disappointment, aria their failure be chargeable entirely upon themselves. Now I apprehend, my Lord, that this is exactly the case of the New Zealand mission, and the true source of that want of success which has hitherto been experienced by the missionaries, and is so generally complained of in the - island. For, instead of con-• fining themselves, with the disinterestedness which became their office, .to the conscientious discharge of their important duties, as he professed disciples of " Him who, though rich,. for our sakes became poor, that we through his poverty might be rich," the missionaries of the Church Missionary Society in New Zealand, utterly incredible as it may appear in Eng land, have actually been the principals in the grand conspiracy of the European inhabitants of the island to rob and plunder the natives of their lande—Dr. Lang's New Zealand in 1839. BANNISTER IN TRAGEDY.—Bannister began his own stage career in tragedy, and played the hero in Voltaire's Mahomet. Garrick, who had trained him to the part, met him the next day, after he had acquired some applauses in Mahomet, and asked him, with his usual abundance of gesture and eh, ehs, what character he wished to play next. " Why," said Ban nister, "I was thinking of Orconoka." " Eh," said David; staring at Bannister, who was at that time very thin, " yon will look as much like Oroonoka as a • chimney-sweeper in a consumption." Bannister told me that, at these words of Garrick, his knees slackened, and he had almost sunk down on the pavement. At another interview, be ventured to tell the English Roscius that he had some thoughts of attempting • comedy. " Eh, eh ? " said Garrick, " why no, don't think of that, you may humbug the town for some time longer as a tragedian ; but comedy is a serious thing, so don't try it yet." Bannister, however, attempted comedy; • and his Don W/iis kerandos (as he himself says) laughed his tragedy out of fashion.—Campbell's Life of Mrs. Siddons. SCOTCH APPLAUSE.—I remember Mrs. Siddons describing to me the scene of her probation on the Edinburgh boards, with no small humour. The grave attention of my Scottish countrymen, and their canny reservation of praise till they were sure she deserved it, she said, had well-nigh worn out her patience. She had been used to speak to animated clay; but she now felt as if she had been speaking to stones. Suc cessive flashes of her elocution, that had always been sure to electrify the south, fell in -rain on those northern flints: At last, as 1 well remember, she told me she coiled up her powers to the most emphatic possible utterance of one pas sage, having previously vowed in her heart, that if this could not touch the Scotch, she would never again cross the Tweed. When it was finished, she paused, and looked to the audience. 'Thedeep silence was only broken by a single voice exclaim ing, " That's no bad !" This ludicrous parsimony of praise convulsed the Edinburgh audience with laughter. But the laugh was followed by such thunders of applause, that amidst her stunned and nervous agitation, she was not without fears of the galleries coming - down.—Campbell's Life of. Mrs. Siddons. R US S IAN PILGRIMS. — ' ' e rolled on all day without any thing to annoy us, or even to interest us, except processions of pilgrims on their way to Mori. They travelled on foot in bands of one or two - hundrecr men, women, and children, headed by a white-bearded monk, barefooted and leaning on a staff. During the night I was roused by aloud chant, and, looking out, saw a group of more than a hundred pilgrims gathered round a fire, with an old monk in the midst of them, breaking the stillness of the night with songs of devo tion ; and all the night long, as we rode swiftly by, I saw, by the bright moonlight, groups of forty, fifty, or a hundred lying by the roadside asleep under the trees. More than 50,000 pilgrims that year visited the catacombs of Kiev, coming from every part of the immense empire of Russia, and many from Kamtschatka and the most distant region of Siberia, performing the whole journey on foot, seldom sleep ing, under a roof, and living upon the precarious charity of the miserable peasants on the road. I have since seen the gathering of pilgrims at Jerusalem, and the whole body moving together from the gates of the city to bathe in the Jordan, and I have seen the great caravan of 40,000 true be lievers tracking their desolate way through the deserts of Arabia to the tomb of the prophet of Mecca; but I remem ber, as if they were before me now, the groups of Russian pilgrims strewed along the road, and sleeping under the pale moonlight, the bare earth their bed, the heavens their only covering.—Stephen's Incidents of Travel. COSTUME OF PRAIRIE TRAVELLERS.—My companion V—, whose last pair of trousers had yielded to the com bined influence of time and hard riding, was dressed in a pair of shrivelled, tight, 'wash-leather drawers, no stockings, and a pair of mocassins over his feet, while his shoulders were enveloped in a blanket which covered the remains of what had been shirt and jacket. I was sitting with an old woollen coloured nightcap on my head, a faded shirt of printed calico, without a neckcloth, and with beard' and moustachios of un shorn irregular growth; while my nether man was protected by. a pair of coarse corduroy breeches without drawers, and plastered to my skin with wet, grey worsted stockings full cf holes, and shoes full of water. Our two attendants were no bad companions to the preceding portraits, especially any Scotch servant, who added to the picturesque scarcity of his habiliments, a visage of most dolorous and ridiculous length. The passage through the late thickets had literally torn to shreds what had once been a pair of cloth trousers, and his knees and shins, thus exposed to view, bore many marks of the greetings which they had met from various kinds of brush wood. No less ragged was the dirty blanket which en veloped his shoulders ; and his condition would have moved pity rather than mirth, had it not been for the determination he evinced to be miserable, which contrasted strongly with the good-humoured efforts of time younger lad to make the best of the case, and to cheer himself and the rest of the party with such sallies of mirth and hope as naturally arose out of our condition. Among those, none were more frequent than his anticipations of the havoc he would make (as soon as we reached the fort) among his mother's buck-wheat cakes, and " the sort of way" in which he would dip his muzzle into a great bowl of buttermilk !—Murrali's Travels in North America. - g. 4) i)lpp 3intriligrircr.

Since Tuesday last the imports of Wheat from Foreign ports have been rather considerable,—of course going into bond for the pre sent; from Ireland and Coastways they have been quite trivial, and our weekly consumption, aided by a demand from distant markets, continues rapidly diminishing our stocks of free Grain and Flour ; the weather on Wednesday and Thursday was very favourable, but on Friday night and all Saturday we had very heavy rain all over this district, (which is reported to have been very general around London,) certainly very injurious to hay-making,--protracting the commencement of our general harvest, exciting some alarm, (the justice of which time must show) and increasing the previous spirit of speculation, particularly in Wheat in bond, some sales of which have been made of the finest romeranean, ftie.; red at as 2d to as 6d, and at as 8d to gs 3d per 701 b. for the finest white high-mixed Dant zic, &c. ; and an advance of 3d to 4d per 701 b. was steadily de manded on free Wheat, and Is to is 6d per barrel and per sack on Flours- all other articles in the trade were also a little enhanced in value ;—there was likewise an ;advance of 2s to 3s per quarter on Wheat in the London, Yorkshire, and in our own country markets of the past week. The duties on all kinds of Grain from Foreign ports remain this week the very same as last noted ;—no particular transactions have this week occurred in Grain or Flour for export. On Sunday the weather was very fine here, but very heavy thun der showers fell partially in this district ;—yesterday we had a re currence of very heavy rain all day, and the appearance of the weather is still unsettled ; a still further increase in prices was in consequence demanded at this day's market, which very much checked the demand, and sales were effected only to a very limited extent, so that the increased quotations below may be considered almost nominal.

The number of Beasts at market to-day has been very large, and the quality middling fOr the time of the year. The show of Sheep and Lambs has also been very extensive. There has been a slight reduction in price of all descriptions, except good Lamb, which may he quoted at about the same as last week. The marketl has been numerously attended by country buyers, as well as butchers, and sales very brisk, especially in the former part of the day • but, notwithstanding the large sales which have been effected, there have been a good few Beasts,, as well as Sheep and Lambs, left un sold at the close, but were principally of ordinary description. A few of the very best Cattle realized 6N, but the average price would be 60, second quality 6d, ordinary Sid. Good Wether Mutton may be quoted at 6id, second quality 64d, varying from that down to Sid, but those at the later price were of a very ordi nary description. Lambs, which were stationary in price, may be quoted at from Gid to 7d per lb. sinking the offal. Number of Cattle at market:—Beasts, 1322 ; Sheep and Lambs 12,408. PRICES OF TIMBER AT LIVERPOOL.
