lottrp. MIDNIGHT REFLECTIONS. (For the Liverpool Standard.) Lo ! Night bath drawn her sable curtain round ; No earthly scene attracts the wand'ring eye ; The list'ning ear, attentive to each sound, Hears but the zephyr' as it murmurs by. Dark tow'ring pines expand their shades behind ; On either side thick elms combine their gloom : Not one bright vista cheers my anxious mind— All round is dark, and silent as the tomb : Save where the moon, just setting o'er you bow'rs, Faintly illumes a hoary distant pile, • Whose fallen'columns and whose crumbling tow'rs Tell man how vain is his most boasted toil. Then surely, where no earthly objects tend To wean the senses and engross the mind, Proud, erring man may humbly deign to bend, And one short respite for devotion find. Father of Mercy ! teach thy creature here — To sin by nature Miserably prone— How he may abed, one pure repentant tear, And breathe one sacred pray'r before thy throne. If aught of doubt retard his spirit's flight ; If Mammon urge him these soft thoughts despise ; If erring reason scorn revealed light, Still may thy - works: inspire the sacrifice. 0 bid him Thou on high his gaze extend, To those bright gems that stud the milky way, Whose myriad suns to countless planets send Their pregnant beams, dispensing life and day. Or farther still direct his visual flight, Where the great whole by thine Almighty nod, Thousands of systems in succession bright, Revolve around their centre and their God. Alas! beneath the vast oppression bent, Struggles man's finite energy of thought; He sees, he feels a God omnipotent, Yet cannot see or feel him as be ought. And will that Being who gave all matter birth, Who " meted out the heavens as with a span," Who said " Let there be light," and light burst forth, Be mindful of the abject thi n g called Man ? Father of Mercy! with one single ray Of that refulgent, world-illuming light, That fluh'd yon suns into perpetual day, Beam on my soul, and chase away its night. Then would their Maker in those orbs appear ; Then would my heart with fearful rapture glow ; And my stern eye would melt with grief sincere, For sin,—whilst humbly at thy feet I bow. No more should pleasure's bonds my sight enchain, Ambition's pads no more engross my mind; Nor glittering riches, with allurements vain, My best affections to their bubble bind. No ! earth no more should be my deity • That ray would guide my nature's wand'ring ; And my first, latest, only wish would be, To live through life a sinless child of sin. St. Asaph. S. LITERARY NOTICES. The Churchman. October, 1839. London :W. E. Painter, We have already borne testimony to the improved tone of this excellent periodical. The present number is fully equal to any of its predecessors in talent, zeal, and energy. The " History of the Cathedral of Salisbury" is a very interesting paper. The chronological tables appended to it are extremely valuable. There is much truth in the letter headed " Con siderations occasioned by the Aspect of the Times." We would particularly recommend to the notice of our readers the very able article entitled " Popish Falsehoods detected and exposed." The paper on " The Building of new Churches." suggests a variety of very important considera tions. The miscellaneous articles in the Churchman very materially enhance its value as a popular magazine. The Village Churchman. October 1839. London : W. E Painter. This cheap and unpretending publication ought to find its way into every cottage in the land. It is calculated to do much good in every way. It will serve to guard the humble members of the church against the prevalent errors of the day, while it will tend to build him up in the most holy faith of true Protestantism. This work has strong and peculiar claims on the patronage of the wealthier classes of Church men, who ought to interest themselves in promoting its cir culation. The number before us contains some very interest ing articles, written in a plain and perspicuous manner.— The papers on " Infidelity" and the " History of Mr. Fan tom" are especially recommended on account of their useful tendency. We have seldom met with a better selection of matter than appears in the pages of this modest periodical. The Wellington Banquet at Dover. 6th Edition, London W. E. Painter. We are glad to find that the very interesting proceedings at the great banquet recently given at Dover to " the Duke" have been thus separately published. This pamphlet ought to be in the hands of every true lover of his country. The generous and patriotic sentiments expressed on this illustri ous occasion will meet with a ready response in the heart of every loyal Briton. We are not surprised to find that this pamphlet has reached its sixth edition. We hope it will go through many more. Lady Rora Hastings.—Statement of the Marquis of Has, ings.--4th Edition, London: W. E. Painter. This is another useful republication, which we have no doubt will be handed down to posterity as the record of an unparalleled act of cruelty and vileness. It is unnecessary for us to say anything further on this painfully interesting sub ject, as the matter has been so often discussed in our columns. The Protestant Magazine. October, 1839. London : Baisler. This invaluable publication is issued under the especial direction of the committee of the Protestant Associ ttion, and is calculated to render most essential service to the cause of true religion. Its exposures of Popery in all its coinpli cated abominations cannot fail to open the eyes of the public to the dangers which may arise from the further ascendancy of that system of fraud and iniquity. The number before us contains several very important documents. The " Start ling Facts" which arc prefixed to the magazine should be attentively considered by every sincere Protestant. The article en the " Recent Popish Appointments in the State" is a masterly production. We have been exceedingly de lighted with the paper on " Popery and Chartism :" it fully corroborates the views which we have always entertained on the subject. There is also another very able article on the abominable and degrading system of " Socialism." We cordially recommend the Protestant Magazine to the notice of our readers. The Observance of Me Lord's Day. An Address to the Flatmen of the Weaver Navigation. By the Rev. John Davies, A.M. Liverpool : Perris. We have seldoM met with a more excellent and judi ciously penned tract than the one now before us. It is plainly and affectionately written, and calculated to produce a very beneficial effect on the minds of those for whose perusal it was originally designed. This tract ought to be extensively distributed among the working classes generally. The Gordian Knot of Infidelity: or the Moral Impossi bility of the Bible being false. By the Rev. W. J. Kidd, Incumbent of St. Matthew's Church, Manchester. Lon don : J. Nisbet ; Liverpool : Perris. We rejoice to find that the subject of " Owenisin" or " Socialism" is attracting the attention of the clergy of the Church of England. They cannot be better employed, or render a more essential service to the cause of truth, or more effectually promote the happiness, both temporal and spiritual, of their fellow creatures, than by coming forward in the character of defenders of the " faith once delivered to the saints," and repelling with the armour of truth the insidious attacks of the sceptic and the infidel. Mr. Kidd is entitled to the thanks of all who value Christianity as the very basis of social happiness for the bold and uncompro mising manner in which he has attacked the strong holds of " Socialism." The arguments which he has adduced in sup port of the verity of the Christian faith are unanswerably conclusive. lie has furnished us with a powerful and effective ~.t.;doce to the poison of infidelity. IA herever " Socialism" has obtained a footing this pamphlet ought to be cstrialVely circulated, especially among the labouring classes, who are most apt to be deluded by Mr. Owen and his followers.

Hardy-- viz., 22 who were with him in the Victory, and 28 who served with him in other vessels.—Court Journal. O'CONNELL AND THZ IRISH ARISTOCRACY, (Prom the Morning Herald.) There is not in the empire so expert a vituperator as O'Connell, but he falls short of himself in panegyric; for it requires the gratification of malevolence to make a naturally ill-disposed man perfectly at home with his subject. O'Connell the adulator certainly suffers in comparison sith O'Connell the calumniator; and, lest any one should experience a difficulty in satisfying himself of the fact by comparison, he has taken care never to praise any man or set of men, without censur ing him or them as soon after as possible. What man in the country, above the rank of a political scullion, has he ever extolled without afterwards denouncing ? The " beloved Anglesey"—the " honest John Lawless— the " unpurchaseable Sharman Crawford"—even the " patriotic Peter Purcell"—all have had their days of adulation, and their years of calumny. It is so with all whom he ever reviled. Look back a few months or years, and you will be sure to find him loud as a cho rus of laureates in their praise. For years past he has made the Irish Protestant gentry the objects of his fiercest invective—they are, only within the last week, " strangers to the land," " exotics," of the soil, not belonging to it," cowards, tyrants, plunderers, tradu cers of their native country, and what not. Let us turn back, gentle reader, let us only go back far enough, and we cannot fail to find something hand some and respectful towards these same " strangers," issuing from the very lips that now foam so outrage ously against them. Turn back to the year 1830, and see how the cringing hypocrite fawned upon our " magnanimous Protestants" ten years ago :—Nobly has the North begun. (Cheers.) It was the North that began the glory of 'B2. The foremost leaders on that occasion were the uncles and grandfathers of the leading. Orangemen of this day—they were the Brown lows, the Belmores, the Enniskillens, and their glorious associates. Oh, for the glorious conventicle that raised the green flag of Irish independence in '82," &c &e.— UO'Connell's speech_ at the political breakfast, on sher's-quay, December 1830. j So they had uncles and grandfathers ten years ago, these "strangers" and exotics," But turn back a little farther : who is this at the bridge of Drogheda quaff ing bumpers of Boyne-water to the glorious memory ? Some truculent Orange squire, no doubt, who would be dismissed from the commission of the peace if he lived under the reign of the illustrious Normanby—at least the Master of a Lodge, or peradventure, a burly parson. No such thing : it is neither more less than Mr. Daniel O'Connell washing down unkindness with his " worthy and respected Protestant friends," in " the most appropriate draught that could refresh the lips which Heaven had deigned to touch with any portion of the sacred fire of civil and religious liberty." We think we may fairly add, " loud cries of oh ! oh !" MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. Robert Gordon, the new secretary of the treasury, has appointed Mr. Percy Shelly, a son of Sir John Shelly, to be his private secretary. On Saturday, Sir Chapman Marshall was elected Lord Mayor of London for the ensuing year. The revenue of Leith this year, as appears from the col lector's books, is no less than £3OOO. greater than last year. A variety of the common swallow, nearly white, was shot at Eslington, last week, by the Hon. T. Liddell, M.P. The subscription to the Eglinton testimonial progresses steadily. The amount of the sums subscribed exceeds 1400 guineas. At the sale of the estates of Sir Culling Earthey Smith, Bart., at Spalding, the land produced nearly £lOO. per acre. —Lincoln Chronicle. It is reported that Lord Lyttleton is to be Lord Lieutenant of Worcestershire, in place of Lord Foley, who, it is said, has resigned that office. The Earl of Somers has given the liberal sum of £lOO. to wards the erection of a new church at Wellington Heath, Herefordshire. It is in contemplation to erect a Welsh Church in London for the especial use of the natives of the principality, to wor ship their Maker in their own language. WOODEN PAVEMENTS.—In the Marylebone vestry, on Saturday, the report of the committee in favour of paving Oxford-street, with wood was adopted.

The depots of the 18th and 94th regiments are to embark on or about the middle of next month, to join their service companies in the East Indies.—United Service Gazette. Colonel Sir Robert Gardiner, K.C.8., of the Royal Artil lery, formerly equerry to King Leopold, has been appointed first and principal aide-de-camp to the queen. CONGLETON VIADUCT.—The first stone of this stupendous undertaking was laid on Wednesday, with all the " pomp and circumstance" which an event of such importance might justly demand. We are happy to hear, that Sir W. Follett's health has been so much improved by his residence on the continent, that he will be able to resume his professional duties next term.—Exeter Flying Post. Captain Eliot, who killed Mr. Mirfin last year in a duel at Wimbledon, and fled from justice, has been expelled from Belgium by the government of that country, on account of his conduct at Brussels. WHAT'S IN A NAME.—Among the list of prisoners for trial at the last Middlesex and Westminster sessions, were Liberty and his wife for disorderly conduct ; Martin Luther, for a riot; Mary Music, for being drunk and creating a dis turbance ; " sweet" Ann Page, for threatening to murder Jane Shore ; and a fellow who calls himself Dickey Celestina, for an assault. RURAL POLlCE.—Notice has been given by the Lord Lieutenant of the county, Lord Ellenborough, and three other magistrates, that it is proposed to move the adoption of the provisions of the County and District Constables Bill for the county of Gloucester at the ensuing quarter sessions. —Cheltenham Gazette. BOLTON.—The revision of the lists for the borough of Bol ton took place on Saturday last, before H. Lawrence, Esq. The objections were all on one side, viz, by the conserva tives ; and 34 of th em were sus t a i ne d , and ten failed. There were very few claims, and of these only a very small number appeared to support them. MORE DEFECTIONS.—We have heard, although we can not vouch for the correctness of the rumour, that the Duke of Devonshire is about, if he have not already done so, to separate himself from ministers. It is said that the Duke of Devonshire's decision has not been formed without due eons i deratio n.—Standard. The Hon. Henry William Petre, second son of Lord Petre, will embark in a few days for the colony at New Zealand, where his noble father has purchased an extensive tract of land for him. Mr. Francis Molesworth, also goes out with Mr. Petre. RAILWAY VELOCITY.—M. de Pambour has stated to the French Academy of Sciences that on the 3d of August last he had travelled with the Evening Star engine, taking with it only the tender and eight persons, at the rate of 544 miles per hour, on the G rea t Western Railway ; and that, had the feeding pump been larger, he thought they might have gone still faster. In preparing the ground for the iron railway at Wilmerson, beyond Tirlemont, in Belgium, a bed of yellow amber has been discovered, which seems to he very rich, judging by the number of large pieces which the workmen have carried away. It is affirmed that there were several hundred pounds, which appear to have been purchased by Jews. A CHILD TO BE GIVEN AWAY.—An advertisement has appeared two or three times, within as many days last past, addressed "To the rich without children," any one of whom, on application to the " highly-connected" parents, who are now poor, may have their " newly-born infant boy, without the slightest difficulty on their part !" The parents will give away their child to any person rich enough to keep it !—London paper. STATE OF THE BAROMETER AND THERMOMETER FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, 1839.—The average height of the barometer for the month is 29 02 inches ; its minimum height was on the first day, 28'10, and its maximum on the 11th, 27'70 inches. The thermometer has fluctuated from 62 to 52 degrees, and its average for the month is 57 . 6 de grees. The observations for both were made at eight o'clock a. in . AN HONEST COACHMAN.—On Friday morning last, Mr. Boast, one of Bromley and Newton's coachmen, found a purse containing upwards of nine sovereigns, in one of the coaches. lie lost no time in giving the utmost'possible pub licity to the Circumstance ; and in the course of the next day the money was returned to the owners, two ladies in the neighbourhood, and Boast received a satisfactory reward for his honesty.—Stockport paper. The Derby Reporter states from authority, that the Man chester end Derby Railway (by the Churnet Valley) is to be Dru.6l2t. fui waits in parliament, in toe ensuing sc-ssiun, most vigorous support, and that another survey is now making in order to secure, as much as possible, a line free from oppo s iti on b y l an d- owners, and calculated' to be most useful to the district through which it may pass. The detachments about to embark for Bengal, in the Vis count Melbourne, are to be under the command of Captain L'Estrange, of the 21st Fusiliers. Assistant Surgeon Prim rose, of the 44th Regiment, is to have medical charge of them. They will be accompied by Ensign Lyster, of the 94th Foot, and, in all probability, by another ensign of the same corps.—United Service Gazette. A grand conservative dinner was given at Shaftesbury, on Friday last, at the Grosvenor Arms Inn, which was attended by upwards of 100 conservatives, of the first rank in the town and neighbourhood. Henry Seymour, Esq., of Knoyle House, in the chair. In the coarse of the evening some very eloquent speeches were delivered, and the whole tenor of the meeting was such as to prove the great spread of con servative principles throughout the county. CAMBRIDGE CONSERVATIVE FESTIVAL.—OR Thursday and Friday. a very pretty display was made on the site of the manor house of St. Rhadegund, in Jesus-laue, by the con servatives of Cambridge. The whole town was divided into two portions (the Market, Trinity, and St. Andrew's wards being one, and the two Barnwall wards the other,) and a tea party and dance were given. There were at least 3000 per sons present each evening. —Cambridge Chronicle. THE HARVEST IN IRELAND.—The accounts from the provinces which have reached since Friday, are generally favourable, particularly those from the counties of Meath, Westmeath, Antrim, Louth, and Down. Complaints still prevail, as to the trying weather, from Limerick, Derry, and Donegal. Connaught, with the exception of Sligo, seems to have been this year peculiarly exempted from the bad effects of the heavy rains which fell during the last two months. The oat crops in Galway will, we learn, be abun dant.—Dublin Evening Mail. TEMPERANCE OF FOX-HUNTERS.—I sat for more than two hours, one night, in the company of eight or nine choice spirits, in the smoking-room at the house of Lord Waterford and Co., and never saw a man wet his lips ; and another night, during the same period and in the same house, and about the same number of choice spirits—cigars blowing all the time—not an imperial pint of any liquid was drunk. So much for the credit of fox-hunting, which is a greater check upon sensual indulgences than most persons may be willing to admit.—Nimrod, Sporting Review. BOLTON POLICE. — Lieut.-Col. Angelo arrived in Bolton on Thursday last, and on Saturday proceeded to the appoint ment of officers. Those of the old police force were all re jected, and those of the new force all elected. There were additional ones appointed, and were examined by Mr. J. L. Heap, surgeon, who has been appointed for the purpose. The regulations are, that they are to receive sixteen shillings a week, be five feet seven inches in height, not more than thirty-five years of age, of good character, and not have'more than three children. NORTHAMPTON CONSERVATIVE FESTIVAL.—ThiS splen did festival took place on Monday. The circumstances at tendant upon it cannot fail to be as truly gratifying to every loyal subject in the empire, as its results are sure to fulfil the anticipations of those to whom the credit is due, of initiating so adrnirableft display of constitutional feeling as, was exhi bite4 throughout the proceedings of the evening. The ban quet took 'Place'in the spacious and elegant ball rooms of the George Hotel, which were very tastefully decorated for the occasion. Above the chair was placed a banner, on which were painted the arms of Sir R. Gunning, Bart., and imme diately beneath it Was another, on which was inscribed" The Church and the Queen." At the, extreme right and left of the chair were placed banners with suitable conservative in scriptions, and around the room a number of elegant devices were suspended between the splendid gilded mirrors with which its panels were decorated. The gallery was crowded with ladies in full dress. Nearly 300 gentlemen sat down to dinner, - and many:more would have been present if the tables could Ifaie r iLeommodated them. VARiErizs or WiicAT.---At the late meeting of the En glish Agricultural Society at Oxford,. Colonel Le Couteur received a prize of £2O for his essay on the cultivation of wheat. - This gentleman, who is one of the first agricultural ists offh,o clu, has for five years been instituting experiments in Order. to ascertain the expense and profit of growing the several Varieties of. this staple of our agriculture. From this statenient,we learn that the Hoary White, or Velveteen wheat, produCes per acre, 48 bushels of corn, worth (at 8s) £l9 4s, and straw worth £5 8s 9d ; total value, £24 12s 9d. The expenses of cultivation are £9 6s ; leaving a nett profit of £15.65. 9d per acre. Of the next variety, the Jersey Dantzic, the items are, produce, £22 Os 6d ; expenses, £9 6s ; profit per acre, £l2 14s 6d. The third variety, the Whitting ton, affords £22 lls 6d of gross produce per acre ; from which £lO Os. 6d being deducted for expenses, leaves the net profit at £l2 Ils. The last sort recorded in the experiments of the gallant colonel, is the valuable variety called the Talavera Belle Vue, which produces 52 bushels per acre, and 5,480 lbs of straw, of which the total value is £26 is 6d ; while the expenses being only £lO Os 6d there remains the enormous profit of £l6 is per acre. FATALITY OF THE . WEST INDIES TO THE MILITARY. —To the long and fatal list of casualties which have occurred amongst the officers of the 76th regiment, in the West Indies, we regret to have to add the death of Brevet Major Fitzge rald, of that corps, of whose decease at Demerara, after an illness of four days only, the news arrived in London the beginning of the present week. This is the sixth officer who within a period of six weeks, has fallen a sacrifice to the dreadful epidemic now raging in the above-mentioned settle ment. Ensign Phipps died on the 26th of June ; Lieut. and Adjutant Hopkins on the 29th of the same month ; Ensign Dickenson on the 10th : Lieut. Col. Dansey on the 12th ; Capt. Bruce on the 20th of July ; and Brevet Major Fitzge rald on the 6th ult. We regret to add that we have also re ceived unfavourable accounts from St. Vincent, where the 70th regiment is stationed. A correspondent writing from r that island, describes the troops there as being very sickly, from a malignant form of yellow fever, which proved fatal in 12 to 48 hours. The corps, he says, has already lost 60 men. This scourge first appeared among the inhabitants of the town ; but when our correspondent wrote, it was confined entirely to the garrison, situated on an elevation of about 700 feet, and a mile and a half distant from any habitation. The men were stated to be greatly alarmed, and to refuse to go into the hospital.—United Service Gazette. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—The following anecdote of the Duke of Wellington, not generally known, and never be fore published, cannot but he acceptable to the reader. It exhibits in a strong light the indefatigable perseverance and foresight of the duke, and especially exonerates his grace from the char g e raised against him by many writers of allow ing himself to be surprised by Bonaparte while amusing him self at a ball at Brussels at the time referred to :—At a din ner, a short time since, the duke was asked, " Has your grace seen the pamphlet published in America, by General Grouchy, in answer to General Foy's-attack on him respect ing the manoeuvres on the day previous to Waterloo ?" " I have," answered the duke, " and Grouchy has the best of it. He could not move without orders, and orders he certainly did not receive. As to his manoeuvres, I knowall about them. I was a witness to them." " You !" exclaimed one of the party ; " every one thought your grace was at Brussels." " I know they did ; but they were wrong, for on the evening in question I and Gordon (who was killed at Waterloo) left Bruisels, took a squadron of horse as escort, no one know ing us, and joined the Prussian head-quarters. I passed the whole of that night in conference with Blucher, Bulow, D'York, and Klest. In the morning I observed to Bulow, ' If I had an English army in the position in which yours now is I should expect to be most confoundedly thrashed.' The attack of Grouchy soon after commenced, and the Prus sians were defeated. I waited long enough to see that event, and I then thought it time to be off, and on the 17th Bona parte made that monstrous movement on my flank which was the commencement of the battle of Waterloo." —Dover Chronicle. THE CONFESSIONS OF A MILK-MAID.--" What a great deal of milk must be sent into Manchester in the course of a year, said I to Mary one morning, as rwas passing her at the door. Two or three carts, laden with cans of milk, were passing along the street at the time, and it was this gave rise to the observation. " And water too, mestur," said Mary, looking rather archly, as though sh e k new somet hi ng about the matter. "Do you think, then, that they water the milk much in this part of th e coun t ry, M ary ?" I inquired. "Aye, observed Mary, " th er e b e c h eat i ng i n all trades but our n, as they say, but I used to think our mestur at Eccles were a ptetty good en' at it, too. I should think, that when I was milk-maid there, the milk the cows gave was somewhere about sixty cans a day ; and to carry this milk to market, in Manchester, we employed two men. Now, every farthing of these men's wages were paid out of the water." " Then they could not have very good wages, I should think," said I, interrupting her story. " Nay, nay," continued Mary, " not so b a d f or farmers servants, either. Ten quarts of water every morning, and six every evening, at threepence a-quart, comes to a good deal of money in the week." " Then you put more to it in the morning than in the evening, did you, Mary ?" " Why yes, mestur," she replied, " because the cows would give more in the morning than in the evening, for we began milking at three in the afternoon while the milking in the morning did not com mence till five. I shall never forget." continued Mary, laughing heartily, " what a man said to me one morning, who came to live servant with us. He were a droll chap, and used to say some funny things to us girls. ' Polly,' says he to me, ` Polly, which o' all the cows i' the dairy dost thou think gives most milk ?" ` That there red un,' says I, to be sure.' ' Nay, nay, Poll,' says he, ` that there black tit', wi' one urn. (horn) at th' back door.' That were th' pump, une nanaie, you known,' said Niel 3 , , fearing I should not understand the allusion, and she again laughed heartily at the joke. " But how," I asked " if they obtained thieepence a-quart for it in Manchester, Mary, did the retailer make his profit by it ?" " Oh," said she," "by putting more water to it, happen." " Well," I could not help observing, " it must be sad stuff by the time it reaches the consumer's hands." " Sky-blue, I reckon," added Mary, casting her weather-eye up at the fine azure above us. —Manchester Chronicle. TERRIFIC THUNDER STORM AT BIRMINGHAM.—On Friday last ,his town was visited by a thunder storm, which, although short in its duratio n , was most alaiming in its effects. About half past twelve o'clock, the sky became suddenly darkened, and presently a dreadful fall of rain, and large hailstones took place, which continued for two or three minutes, and was accompanied by one flash oflightning and a terrific clap of thunder, which seem e d as if ro lli ng imme diately over the town, Eight new houses, belonging to Mr. Dingley, coal dealer, and lately erected iuu Crego-street, Hol loway-head, were struck by the lightning, and all more or less injured. The houses are situate on the left hand side of the above street, which is opposite to St. Thomas's Church, and leading from Holloway-bead to the Bristol-road. They stand alone on a portion of the ground adjoining the field where the meetings are usually held, and apart from any shelter what ever. The account given by Mrs. Turner, the wife of a journeyman brassfounder, who occupies the house nearest the Bristol-road, is—that she was standing in her kitchen, iron ing, near the door, a n d fi ve o f h er c hild ren were round the fire, when suddenly the hous e was s h a k en, as if to i ts centre, and the kitchen in which she was, presented one body of flame. Her senses partly left her, and for the moment, she was unable to move. -On recovering from the shock, she ran round a little counter, which stood between her and her children, when she found them all lying flat upon the ground, and senseless. A little girl, about eleven years of age, was lying against the counter, and her feet completely doubled under her body. She raised them up. one by one, believing they were dead and it was not until five minutes after that they recovered, and were able to speak. They were perfectly unconscious of what they had seen or heard. Beyond the terror, no injury was sustained by herself or family. On examining the house, she found that the lightning had struck down through the roof, which it nearly destroyed, and passed through the ceilir , into the attic, where it h a d p ene t rate d th e b ac k an d side walls in about twelve or fourteen places. It burned two large holes in the front wall, from which it would appear to have passed tp the room door opposite, and down stairs into the kitchen, where she and her children were, and from thence into the street through the door, which was open. The chimney of the house at the back of Mr. Turner's, was knocked down, and the chimney-pieces were much shattered. The other six houses were also equally shaken, and several panes of glass broken in each of them, but none of the inmates were injured. A new zinc gutter hail a.hole completely.; burned through it, and it was forced down into the water barrel which was under it. Three fowls belonging to Mr. Turner, which were oppo site his door, were killed : two more are missing ; and a sixth . was severely injured.—Birmingham Adiertiser. • • A LARGE POTATO.—A few days ago a potato was dug out of a field in the occupation of Mr. Draper, of the Volunteer Inn, in this town, which weighed Illb. It was perfectly sound, and many others weighed nearly as much. The de scription is the short-topped Shaw's. —Doncaster Chronicle. Colonel Cunninghame, of the Royal Engineers, we under stand, is appointed by the government to survey the proposed lines of railroad from Birmingham to Glasgow and Edin burgh; but we have not heard a time named for the com mencement of hii difficult task. In the Observer of Sunday last it was stated that a special meeting of the committee of the Senior United Service Club assembled on the Tuesday previous at the Club-house, in. Pall Mall, for the purpose of investigating into the circum stances connected with the alleged outrage and robbery com mitted in the apartments of Mr. Charles Fenn, the house steward, the result of which has not been allowed to transpire. We have, however, since been informed that the answer to inquirers at the Club House, as to the state of Mr. Penn is, that he has gone into the country for the benefit of his health. Other persons assert, that after the inquiry of the committee was closed, Mr. Fenn was called before them, and desired to quit that night. He was subsequently, however, allowed to remain until the following morning, when he quitted, never to return.—Observer of Sunday last. RUMOURED RAILWAY SPEED.—A rumour has been cur rent in the city for the last few days, with respect to an ex periment said to have been performed on the Great Western Railway, in regard to speed. The story goes, that one of the drivers, anxious to put to the test certain recent state ments on the subject of atmospheric resistance, obtained per mission of the engineer-in -chief to run an engine and tender at the highest possible speed through the whole length of the line ; an engagement being entered into, that, in the event of any disastrous consequences ensuing to the adventurer, pro vision should be made for his widow and children ; and that, a time having been chosen, when the line was quite clear from all traffic, the distance of 28 miles was gone over at the rate of more than 100 miles an hour! We give the ru mour precisely as it reach e d us : we d o not vouch for its truth.— Railway Times. DINNER To THE DUKE OF BUCCLEUCH.—The dinner given to the Duke of Buccleuch by his tenantry and friends, on the occasion of his return from Italy, took place on Thurs day last at Branxholme Tower, in a splendid pavilion, near the place celebrated by Sir W a lt er S co tt i n hi s " L ay of the Last Minstrel." James Grieve, Esq., of Braes, was in the chair, and was supported on his right by the Duke, the Earl of Dalhousie, the Right Hon. Sir James Graham, Bart., Sir Thomas Kirkpatrick, Bart., J. H. Johnston, Esq., M. P., &c. ; and on the left by the Earl of Home, Alexander Pringle, Esq., M. P., George Baillie, Jun. Esq., J. Spottiswoode, Esq., Capt. Hope Johnston, Sir Jas. Malcolm, A. E. Lock hart, Esq., Wm. Ker, Esq. of Gateshaw, &c. Wm. Ogilvie, Esq., of Chesters, was in the vice -chair, and was supported by Lord John Scott and numerous other gentlemen of respect ability. About four o'clock nearly 1200 persons sat down to a sumptuous dinner. After the cloth was removed and the usual toasts had been 'given, the chairman proposed the health of their noble guest, which was drunk by the company in the most enthusiastic manner; the Duke made a feeling speech in reply, and was listened to with marked attention: The Earl of Dalhousie, Sir J. Graham, Bart., and many other gentlemen addressed the company in excellent speeches. About 10 o'clock the Duke of Buccleuch left the room, and was followed soon after by the rest of the company.—Carlisle Patriot.- THE DAY or ST. MICHAEL, SEPT. 29.—The predecessor of Alban Butler states that St. Michael bore the banner of the celestial host, chased the angel Lucifer and his followers from heaven, and enclosed them in dark air unto the day of judgment ; not in the upper region, because there it is clear and delightful, nor upon the earth, because there they should hut torment mankind, but between heaven and earth, that when they look up they may see the joy they have lost, and when they look downward, may see men mount to heaven, from whence they fell. The relation says—they flee about us as flies ; they are innumerable, and, like flies, they fill the air without number; and philosopers and doctors are of opinion that the air is as full of devils and wicked spirits, " as the sonne bemes ben full of small motes, which is small dust or poudre." SEASONABLE CHARITY.—The Worsley and Ellenbrook Chapel District Visiting Society, under the patronage and support of Lady Francis Egerton, held their second annual meeting at the Worsley New School, on Wednesday last, when blankets, flannels, stockings, &ct, to the amount of about £360, were distributed to upwards of 600 poor families. 'This well-timed relief conies in very opportunely to meet the exigencies of the approaching winter. There is, in conjunc tion .with the above association, a loan tract society. The tracts are furnished by Lady F. Egerton, under the super intendence of the Rev. W. Rjgg, and are circulated by ladies forming part of the congregation of Ellenbrook Chapel. During the past year, about two thousand of these useful little monitors have been distributed among the cottagers of the surrounding neighbourhood. MORE PRIESTLY DOINGS.--We have received various communications on the subject of priestly interference at the late election for poor law guardians, which unfortunately are too late to be tu rne d t o accoun t, an d consequent l y, of little importance to a public journalist. The case at Balleyragget is of a most extraordinary nature, and should have been re ported in time. It appears a respectable Roman Catholic gentleman, Mr. Phelan, who was supported by the Lady 11. Kavanagh, and the respectable landholders of the district, and triumphantly returned, was held up to public odium from a neighbouring altar—in fact abused and threatened by an. audacious Priest, for presuming to become a candidate in op position to the sacerdotal nominee. This we hope, will ope the eyes of our legislators to the conduct of the Popish Priests during the contest, and to the prevalence of the demon spirit of party which they invoked, with the view of turning the cause of charity into a source of jobbing.—Kilkenny Mode rator.

THE SCHOONER GIL BLAS.—THE AWARD TO THE PILOTS. —The owners of the schooner Gil Blas, Capt. Herbert, lately from Africa, with a most valuable cargo, which vessel was in contact off Dover with the steam-ship Royal Adelaide, Capt. Soy, and abandoned by the master and crew, with the excep tion of a black boy ; but sdbsequently fallen in with by pilots on the French coast, and taken into the harbour of Ostend, have paid to the latter (the pilots) the sum of 25,000 francs, about £l,OOO sterling, in lieu of all clai ms f or s al vage . I n con sequence of Samho being found on board alive by the pilots, the Gil Blas was not derelict. Lire ASSITRANCE.—That only about 80,000 persons in the united kingdom should have taken advantage of life as surance, being but 1 in 62 of heads of families, surely affords a striking view of—shall we call it the improvidence of man kind, or shall we not rather designate it as their culpable sel fishness ? For, what is the predicament of that man who, for the gratification of his affections, surrounds himself with a wife and children, and peaceably lives in the enjoyment of those precious blessings, with the knowledge that, ere three months at any time shall have passed, the cessation of his existence may throw wife and children together into a state of destitution ? A DISCOVERY.--L' Impartial, a Valenciennes paper, gravely announces the following :—The manufacturers of native sugar are saved. Beet-root is about to rise again more triumphant than ever. The inhabitants of the Nord will, indeed, make no more sugar, but they have just found oqt that beet-root can make the most delicious wines. The vine is done for, and beet-root takes its place. This is not a mere invention. We know on good authority that the mayor of Artres is a member of the company which is about to turn this discovery, which is to prove a new source o f ind us t r y t o our district.' THRAPSTON, SEPTEMBER 29.—This morning, at eight o'clock, a fire broke out at Lilford House, the seat of the Right lion. Lord Lilford, which at its first appearance threatened the destruction of that beautiful mansion. The fire commenced in the drawing-room, and was first discovered by one of the female servants ; how it originated is not at present ascertained. Fortunately there was an abundant supply of water, and the fire-engines from Oundle, Thrap ston, Titchmarsh, and Wandenhoe, arrived quickly on the spot, the fire was speedily got under ; the damage will pro bably amount to near £lOOO. The Thrapston engine, with 16 firemen, was on the spot, a distance of five miles in 18 minutes. On Saturday a beautiful little Arabian horse, of a dark chesnut colour, arrived at the royal' stables, Windsor, in charge of an A ra b, accompan i e d f rom town by one of the royal servants, having been sent by her Majesty's Consul General at Tripoli. The little animal, shortly after his arri val, was taken into the quadrangle of the Castle, and was there inspected by her Majesty and the ladies and gentlemen of /he Court. The Arab formed an object of much attrac tion (being dressed in the costume of his country) as his beautiful charger. This morning the Arabian was again taken to the Castle, and was ridden round the quadrangle by one of the royal grooms for another inspection of the Queen. —Windsor Express. Ireland.

It will be seen, that the quantity of rain this year has been nearly as great as last year, and almost three times as much as in 1837. From the Ist June to the 19th Sep- tember, 1839, there fell 12'90 inches of rain; or nearly 13 inches ; 'whilst in the same months of last year, wet' as the summer was, there only fell 6'lB inches—less than one-half. In the month of September this year, there has fallen sia•teen times as much rain as in the same month of last year :- 1837. 1838. 1839. Inches. Inches. Inches. January o'2s 'PB3 ....

USE OF STEAM IN INDIAN Wrsi'apEs.—Mr: Wise shovis, by a careful analysis of a number of voyages selected from those made by the once princely fleet of the East India Company, that a great amount of time might have been saved by the use of a small steam-engine on board these merchant ships. He gives an analysis of one hundred voyages, ex tracted from the logs of the company's ships ; such examples as the following In the outward voyage of the Taunton Caitle, out of 2,736 hours, or 114 days, 938 hours were calm or light airs, 1,389 fair wind, and 439 foul wind." If, there fore, steam-power had been used, by having a small engine on board, such a voyage would have been shortened by 3 X 938 hours, = 2,814 miles, reckoning the use of steam to gain three miles an hour, which a very small engine would sufficiently accomplish. "In the homeward voyage of the Batavia, out of 3,768 hours, or 157 days, 1,834 hours were calm or light airs, 1,446 fair wind, and 488 foul wind." In this case 3 X 1,834 = 5,502 miles would have been taken from the length of the voyage. By a general abstract, given at the end of the book, it appears that the following may be taken as an average of passages from England to Bombay : " 868 hours calm or light airs, 1,518 fair wind, and 306 foul wind ; total hours, 2,692." SOCIAL MEETING.—The most triumphant conclusion of the Anti-Socialist lectures at Cheltenham, took place on the evening of Friday last, the 27th instant. The room was fully crowded, 800 persons were admitted at 2d. each, and at the commencement of the meeting the Socialists evidently mus tered strong. The Rev. F. cloSe was again in the chair ; and at the openin g of the meeting.. he exposed in the clearest manner the unprincipled' subterfuges to which the - Socialists had recourse. It appeared that Mr. Palmer, who had at tempted to reply to Mr. Brindley, at the previous lecture, had actually been sent down from London to Cheltenham by Mr. Bailey, the social missionary, as a substitute for him, although Mr. Palmer, at the first meeting at the assembly.. room, positively asserted'that he appeared only as a private individual, and came at his own expense ; yet the Chelten ham socialists paid a portion or the whole of his expenses !! ! And now, finding that Palmer was a very inefficient ad vocate, they - sent him away, gave out that there would be no discussion, and now .another opponent had appeared in the person of a Mr. Roebotham, a' regularly appointed socialist missionary from Worcester ; the meeting was thus taken by surprise. Mr. Brindley then spoke above an hour, with amazing effect—and having concluded, Mr. • Roebotham at tempted a reply. Having spoken for some time, he was re minded of the questions to which he ought to keep ; and then proceeding to Mr. Owen's principles of marriage, he so grossly insinuated that his foul charge of " almost universal prostitution," was applicable even to that audience—that the chairman rose, and said he could not sit there to hear so foul a libel uttered against so respectable a meeting, both of men and women, without putting the question to the meeting, " whether so foul a libeller should be permitted to utter another word to a Cheltenham audience ?" A forest of hands was instantly raised, and the calumniator was silenced, not half a dozen hands being lifted in his behalf. Mr. Close said, that after such a demonstration of the feeling of that meet ing, he could not h es it a t e as to hi s d u t y as c h a i rman — an d h e called upon them to discharge another duty which they owed to the able and indefatigable advocate of God's truth, Mr. Grindley. He then put the following resolution, " That this meeting is of opinion, that Mr. Brindley has fully and irrefragrably substantiated all his charges against the foul system of Ovienism, viz. `that it is an immoral, blasphemous, and atheistical system—that it entirely denounces all mar riage, all religion, and openly avows the disbelief in God ;' and that the thanks of the public are most justly due to him for his disinterested labours." Again, amidst shouts of ap plause, a forest of hands•rosit for the resolution, and not above four or five against it. The chairman then made some appropriate remarks of a religious character, and concluded by saying, that as al mos t a ll t h at meet i ng h a d now h e ld up t h e i r hands in defence of their Gott and their religion, he hoped the proposition,he was about. to make, might not be con sidered ill-timed ; he invited them to praise their God even in the presence of His enemies, and to join in singing the Doxology—" Praise God from whom all blessings flow ;" the effect was electrical! such a shout of praise has hardly ever been heard in any assembly—many persons were effected to tears! Mr. Whitmore moved a vote of thanks to the clutirtnan—and a working man rose and waived his hat "for three cheers for Mr. Close." This honest proposition was very properly repreSsed by Mr: Close, who said theyjha s d r . closed with praising God who giveth the victory; and wliile s he heartily thanked them for their cordial support in defence of God's truth, all praise should be given to God alone. The meeting then gradually separated.—Cheltenham Journal.

With the exception of a few showers which have fallen over this district, and which having been always succeeded by fine drying winds, have but little impeded the operations of harvest, the weather has been much more favourable during the whole of the past week throughout this district, the north of England, and Scotland; and although there is now no doubt that the crops have sustained very serious previous injury to an extent not yet ascertainable, a great deal of Grain has been secured in better condition than antici pated, and in this neighbourhood the fields are almost cleared ; our millers and dealers have in consequence been very timid and sparing purchasers for immediate wants, and sales have been very languid and limited in this and all the country mar k e t s aroun d us of the past week, and also us Yorkshire, at a decline on Wheat of 3d to 6d per 70th. and of Is to Is 6d per barrel and per sack on Flour ; the scarcity of all other articles in the Corn trade has caused the high prices of those articles to be supported, but they may be con sidered almost nominal. Some small parcels of new Wheat and Oats from Ireland have ar rived; the former of very had quality and condition, hardly sale able at 7s lid to ss per 701 b., the latter of pretty fair quality, and sell at from 4s id to 4s sd per 451 b., and there have been several small parcels of new Wheat from our own farmers, of very good quality and condition, offering at 9s tops led per 701 b% but it is yet too soon to form any decided opinion of this harvest—not half secured in Ireland, and to the northward of us. The only alteration in the duties on Grain from Foreign ports since Friday last is an increase of 3s per quarter on Rye; the pros pect of a reduction of the duty on Wheat is now very doubtful, and as it is likely to be increased to iOs 8d per quarter on Friday next, it is probable duty will be paid of 6s Bd per quarter, and 4s per bar. rel on Flour, on all now in bond here ; (about 80,000 quarters, and about 14,000 barrels of Flour,) and it is estimated that there are in the United Kingdom above 500,000 quarters of Wheat in bond, of which about half is in London ; of all other kinds of Grain in bond here, the quantity is very trivial; 3s yd to 4s peel/sibs is demanded for fine Dutch Oats, and 378 to 38s per barrel for sweet Flour in bond, but there has been very little demand for export at such prices. We had a recurrence of heavy rain on Sunday morning, and almost all yesterday, but to-day the weather is very fine, with every appearance of being settled, which, added to toe very serious de cline on Wheat in Mark-lane yesterday, caused a great stagnation in sales at this day's market; sales were effected only to a very limited extent even.at the above-noted decline on Wheat and Flour, and quotations cannot be made very correctly for any article in the Corn trade; and the annexed prices current may be considered almost nominal.
