CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—The un settled state of our political affairs influences our mar ket, which has been less steady this week than last, but so far there is little change in prices. Holders, who were looking for extreme rates previously,have accepted offers which they had rejected, making a decline, in par tial instances, of id. per lb. There has been less inclina tion to purchase on speculation. 1'2.00 bales of Ame rican is all that has been taken for resale here, and nothing for exports.

In the recent Calcutta papers received, the following letter is inserted from Candahar :—" Here we are all sale in the Fort of Quettah, after having given the enemy a thorough drubbing. I was away, or rather on my return from Candahar with a wing of the regiment, and arrived twenty-four hours after the attack had been made on the cantonments here, when the enemy met with a sad repulse, though only 220 were in the lines. I marched 100 miles after receiving an express with my detachment in three nights, crossed the Hojab pass to Boat, which in my opinion is tqual to anything that has ever been done in India. The enemy were 1,000 in number ; 100 were killed, and about 100 wounded. Our troops, it will be seen from these passages, con tinue to sustain with the utmost vigour and success the incessant assaults made upon them. The British Funds, which were in the early part of the morning improving, and reached 871 to 4 for the Account, soon after declined to 861-, owing to several sales being effected, caused by a report that the quarter's revenue would be unfavourable, which we cannot as yet trace to any authentic source, since which a re-action has taken place, and Consols have again improved to for the Account, caused by the arrival of the pigeons with the French prices.

STEAM COMMUNICATION.—The Steam ques tion has been again brought before the public at Calcutta, at a meeting convened expressly to receive and consider the communications which left London on the 4th of June, to which considerable importance attached, as they com prised the specific modifications and resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of tile East India Steam Navi. gatien Company, in the confident expectation of thereby uniting all interests in India in the common cause. The result of this meeting, which was held on the Ist of August, may be briefly told. After an intfectual attempt on the part of Messrs. Turton, Grant, Robby, and Col quhoun, the agitators of the Precursor Scheme, to re pudiate the measures which were submitted under the plea of their not being sufficiently specific. resolutions were passed, acknowledging, in the strongest terms, the judgment, patience, and consideration, which the •sroceed. ings of the London Board evinced—expressing the fullest confidence in the Directors—and authorising the immediate appropriation of all the funds which had been previously re mitted. They farther intimated that an union of the prin cipal patties had taken ph+ce, from which a vast accession of subscribers might be expected, and recommended the purchase or hire of a steamer, to occupy the line between Suez and Calcutta—(a measure which had been already anticipated, as the India steamer lest Plymouth, full of passengers, on . Sunday morning for Calcutta, for this pur pose—and the immediate supply of fuel to the depots. The unequivocal and universal expression of opinion upon the question induced the withdrawal from the chair of Mr. Turton, who, with Messrs. Grant and Colquhoun, retired from the Committee. The official letters also announce the union of parties, and remit a further sum of 7,0001 , on account of subscrip tions to Mr. Curtis's Company ; with the iutima tion on the part of no less than 70 of the principal firrns ' whose names are attached to a resolution that they pledge themselves to support Mr. Curtis, to the fullest extent in their power, in carrying out chat which they believe will be the only measure of real and permanent benefit to the in teresis of all India._Extracted from No. V. of the In dian News. Loss OF TIIE ROUEN MAIL.—M. Conte, director of the post-office, has published a notice, on the recent loss of the Rouen mail, to the following effect : According to all appearances the box of the Havre mail was opened between Ecouis and Pontoise, some of the letters having been dropped on the road. Part of these were afterwards found and brought to the office, but the rest have not been discovered, notwithstanding the most diligent search and inquiry. Thoso still missing are the letters for Paris, put in at the post-offices of the follow ing places s—Bacquesille, Darnetal, Dieppe, Envermeu, Grant Couronne, Longueville, Malounay, Rouen, Totes, and Valmartin. All these letters must have been posted on the Ist inst. Th e ba g from Rouen, containing the let ters addressed to tow ns situated beyond Paris, remained in the mailbox, and its contents have been forwarded to their respective destinations. The postmaster adds, that h e hopes, from the active exe rtions making, tee lost letters may be shortly recovered and delivered, but recommends that in th e meantime all merchants and others who had re mitted bills by that mail should take such means as duo precaution dictates. Upwards of 600,000 f. worth of bills arc said to have been contained in the Rouen bag alone. The opera o f Fra Diavolo i n active re h.hc areal at Covent-garden Theatre.

Johnson was employed the whole of this morning in hearing complaints brought by the City Police against a host of drivers of cabs, coaches, om nibusses, and other vehicles, for obstruction of the highway in the City. Several of these defendants wore charged with loitering near the footway, plying for fares, and thus obstructing the road, contrary to the Act of Parliament. Upon these cases Mr. Alderman Johnson observed that it was the wish of the Court of Aldermen to give the peiblic vehicles plying in the City greater accom mod.ztion than they possessed at present. Instructions had ben given to the City Solicitor to prepare an Act of P, r'iament for the purpose. But in the mean time the existing law must be enforced, and the carriages must not be allowed to obstruct the road, as they persisted in doing in Fleet-street end other great thoroughfares, sometimes for twenty minutes or half an hour at a time. lie hoped the defendants would take his ad vice, and that the payment of costs would be a sufficient caution for the present. John Carroll, a carter, convicted of causing an oh• struction in King William•street, on Thursday last, and proved to have violently flogged another driver, who did not appear to prosecute, was sent to prison for seven days. A number of drivers were fined in various sums for obstruction, of different degrees of wilfulness or ob- stisacy. Mr. Barford, a baker, residing in Long-lame, Smith field, was summoned by the City inquest, before Mr. Alderman White, fur using fraudulent scales in weigh ing bread for sale. Mr. Summers and another Juror proved that on exa mining the scales, in which they found the defendant weighing bread to a poor woman, they discovered a de ficiency of rather more than an ounce, which was con trived by a halfpenny and sonic other weight being at tached to the under part of that plate of the scale in which the bread was weighed. As this was the third time they had detected the defendant they determined to bring the case before the Magistrate, to the end that it should be tried at the Sessions. The neighbourhood in which the defendant carried on busi ness was exceedingly poor, and from the extent of his trade, which was calculated at twenty sacks of flour weekly, the customers were defrauded by the contri vance in question to the amount of 2.1. 10s. per week. Mr. Barford said that the charge was got up against him for the purpose of serving a rival tradesman, who was on the Jury. A Juror said, that perhaps the Magistrate would allow Mr. Barford to compromise the matter by giving some donation to the poor of the ward. Mr. Alderman WHITE did not suppose that Mr. Bar ford woula give such a donation, as that would be an admission of guilt, which he denied. Besides, in his ( Mr. White's) opinion, the poor would be more bene fited by a public prosecution, followed by some punish ment, which would deter from the repetition of such frauds, than from any donation. Mr. Barford was then held to bail in his own recog nisances (401.) to appear at the Sessions. IV. B. Itrra.rton, a middle aged man, having something of the appearance of a horse dealer, was placed at the bar under the following circumstances :7-7 William Harris, a Sergeant in the City-police stated that yesterday morning he was informed that the pri soner and other parties had brought into the market six beasts for sale under very suspicious circumstances. In the course of the day he learned that Mr. Hill, a salesman, had bought the beasts for Mr. Cotterell, a butcher in Smithfield. Witness accordingly re quested Mr. Hill to send for him, when the prisoner came to demand the money. This morning he met the prisoner at Mr. Hill's, and not being satisfied with the account the man gave of his possession of the cattle, he took him before the Commissioner. The prisoner then said that he had a farm near Rum- ford, in the neighbourhood of which he was well known, and if a policeman were sent down with him he would satisfy him that he was a respectaße man, and that the cattle were his own pro perty. The Commissioner assented to this, but the prisoner, on the way to the coach office, offered Harris 101. to let him go, and to say at the Police-office that be found it all right. Upon this, Harris brought him before the Magistrate, being satisfied that it would be of no use to go to Rumford. The Magistrate ordered the prisoner to be remanded, and greatly commended the conduct of Harris. He hoped the case would be published, as the publication might lead to discover the owner of the cattle, which are six black Scotch, not in a condition fit for field market. HORRID MURDER NEAR NORTH- AMPTON. NORTHAMPTON, FRIDAY, 11 P.M.—The village ( f Yardley Hastings, near Northampton, has just been the scene of an appalling murder. The unfortunate victim was a tine athletic man of the name of Dunkley, who had for some time past officiated as under gamekeeper to the Mat quis of Northampton. He was missing OD Tuesday last, and no tidings were heard of him until yesterday, when his body was found in one of the riding, in Newhay Wood, Yardley Hastings,in a mangled state. This morning intelligence of the murder was conveyed to Mr. Abbey, one of the Coroners for the county, and at two o'clock this afternoon a jury was impanelled at the Rose and Crown, in Yardley ; and after the usual preliminaries had been attended to, the Jury retired to view the body. His bead, from the united effects of shots and blows, was dreadfully injured, and from the various pools of blood seen near the spot where his body was found, it Is presumed that his resistance must have been both strenuous and long-continued. In a ditch about 20 yards from where he was found was a pool of blood, and near it was part of the stock of deceased's gun. Midway between the ditch and the body was another pool of blood, and close to this was found the remainder of the stock. The lock was found under the head of the deceased. It is suspected that the deed was committed by some night poachers, but as yet no clue is obtained to the perpetrator of the crime. The inquest is not yet terminated, and it is presumed that the inquiry will be adjourned till Monday, to ob tain further evidence. LORD LBRINGTON. His Excellency the LoriLieutcnant, in his late tour through the west of Ireland, visited the great national Fair of BAllinasloe, where he was warmly greeted by men of all parties. An address, in which Whig, Tory, and Radical concurred, was drawn up and numerothly signed. The first signature is that of Lord Clancarty, the principal Tory Lord in Connaught, and but a few years ago a prominent character in every association or movement hostile to the Liberal interest in Ireland. The following is the address : " TO HIS EXCELLENCY VISCOUNT EBRINGTON, LORD LIEUTENANT-GENERAL AND GENERAL GOVERNOR OF IRELAND. May it please your Excellency, " We, the undersigned, inhabitants of Ballinasloc and its vicinity, beg leave to welcome your Excellency to the great national fair, held at this town, which you are so kind as to honour with your presence. " While we gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity afforded u; by your Excellency's visit to testify our loyalty and devotion to our gracious Sovereign in the homage we give to her representative, we rejoice that we can, at the same time, feel towards the person of her representative the respect due to virtue and upright ness ol character. Impressed by the honour of your Excellency's presence, with the belief that your Excellency takes a lively interest in the a gricultural prosperity of Ire land, we hope that your Excellency will derive greti• fication from your visit to this great sheep and cattle fair, exhibiting, as it does, the increasing productiveness of Connaught ; and we trust that your Excellency will see reason to lend the weight of your Excellency's re• commendation to such measures as may tend to further the improvement of this important branch of Irish trade, by the introduction of greater facilities of inland communication, and the restoration, under proper re gulation, of the encouragement formerly given by the Government of the country to the improvement of farm ing stock and agriculture. " The differences of opinion upon political subjects, which, in a free country, must almost necessarily stand in the way of an unanimous assent to the course of policy adopted by any Government, forbids, on the present occasion, any particular relerence to the poli tical views of your Excellency's administration in this country ; but we freely and unitedly tender to your Excellency the respectful homage of our duty as faith ful and attached subjects of the Crown of the United Kingdom, and to your Excellency personally we give the tribute of a hearty welcome, and our gratitude for the honour you have done us in visiting this town. (Signed) " CLANCARTY, Chairman." [Here follow the signatures.] To this address, so excellent in spirit, and so strik ingly illustrative of a most salutary change in the state of feeling amongst men of Lord Clancarty's school in politics, the reply of the Lord-Lieutenant is as fol lows : " My Lord Clancarty and Gentlemen—l return you my sincere thanks for the cordial and flattering welcome which the sentiments conveyed in your Address have given to my arrival among you. " Nothing can be more gratifying than the terms in which you have been pleased to unite the expression of your personal good-will towards myself with the homage of your loyal devotion to our beloved Sovereign. " Taking as I do the liveliest interest in the agricul tural prosperity of Ireland, I have gladly profited by the agreeable opportunity which your Lordship's kind hospi tality has afforded me, of witnessing the great national fair of Ballinasloe ; and, whilst I hail with much satis faction the testimony borne in your Address to the in creasing productiveness of your native province, in the breed of sheep and cattle, you may rest assured that my best attention shall be directed to any measures, if any can be devised, that may, in my judgment, tend to prove this important branch of Irish trade, and to de velope more fully the field which it holds out to Irish enterprise and Irish industry. • " affirences of opinion on political subjects are essen tial to the existence of constitutional liberty, and you have satisfactorily shown me how consistent they may be with mutual feelings o f respect and esteem, whilst you so candidly give to others the same credit for singleness of purpose and upri g h tness of intention in t h e d isc h arge of their public duties as you justly claim for yourselves in the free exercise of your several opinions on the ad ministration of the afftirs of your country."

This interruption was not at all relished by the young m en , who, flushed with wine, would not pay any attention to the summons, but loaded the scrjeants who conducted the tarty of the troops with the grossest abuse, end m a d e even obstinate resistance.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Under the head of Clerical Intelligence con tained in the Bath Papers, my attention was called to the following announcement :—" The Venerable Arch deacon Law has been presented to the Living of Wes ton-super-Mare, and the Rev. Edward Wilson to the Vicarage of IVliitchurch, Dorset." Archdeacon Law is the son of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, and Bishops' sons, of all others, should be, like Caesar's wife, beyond suspicion. To say the least, therefore, the following public transactions look too much like an arrangement quite at variance with the spirit, if not the very letter of an Act passed in the 31st year of the reign of Elizabeth, *' to prevent corrupt re signing or exchanging of benefices with cure of souls ;" and while such things are permitted, the reason why the Laity do not respond to the daily calls made upon their pockets in the shape of contributions for the advance ment of religion, as they would otherwise do, is suffi ciently apparent. In your Paper some time since was a statement that some individual had accepted, for certain purposes, three livings " within eighteen months ;" this you fitly denominated jobbing." Archdeacon Law, within three years, has been the Incumbent of four livings. He was Rector of Weston-super-Mare, to which he has just been re-presented by the Bishop, his father, who is the patron. This he resigned in the year 1838, to take the Living of Bath, and he was there succeeded in the Living of Weston-super-Mare by the Rev. Edward Wilson. After preaching against all and every rational amusement and recreation of the people, he on a sudden vacated the living of Bath to take that of East Brent, which became vacant on the death of his brother-in law. This is also in the gift of the Bishop, and which the Archdeacon has just vacated, to be re-pre sented back to the living of Weston-super-Mare. What has become of Eat Brent I know not, but no doubt one of the family will be found in it. Mr. Wilson has been presented to the living of Whitchurcb, also in the patronage of the Bishop. Here, then, we have the son of a Bishop resigning or exchanging for interest, or benefit, or whim, three livings, and retaking his former one, which makes four, and three out of the four being in the patronage of his father, who is a Bishop of the Church of England. Was patronage originally given to Bishops for such purposes ? Undoubtedly not, and such a circumstance demands an investigation by the higher authorities. The evil of such things, and their sufferance and existence in the heads of the Establishment, are manifold, whether we look at them as direful in their effects on the winds of those con kregations who unhappily are the sufferers by such con stant change of ministry, or as being bad examples and most dangerous precedents afforded to the clergy ; and while such proceedings are permitted among the Le viathans, it is useless to complain of the acts of the inferior members of the Church. Some of the Puri tans of the present day stop at nothing to suit their own views and interests, without the least regard to public opinion, or any deference to the feelings of the religious community, and then profess surprise that their appeals to the people are not attended with success, or heard with respect. While laws are evaded, or their spirit departed from by the clergy, in vain may they look for a thorough reform and amendment of life in their parishioners. Bath, Oct. 7. VIGIL. For the benefit of your readers I have sent you the clause of the Act alluded to : " 31st Elizabeth, c. 6, s. 8. " And be it further enacted by the authority afore said, that if any Incumbent of any Benefice with cure of Souls, do or shall corruptly -resign or exchange the same, or corruptly take for or in respect of the re signing or exchanging of the same, directly or indirectly, any pension, sum of money or benefit whatsoever ; that then as well the giver as the taker of any such pension, sum of money, or other benefit corruptly, s h a ll l ose double the value of the sum so given, taken, or had ; the one moiety as well thereof, as of the forfeiture of double value ofone year's profit before mentioned, to be to the Queen's Majesty, her heirs and successors, and the other moiety to him or them that will sue for the same by action of debt, bill, or information, in any of her Majesty's Courts of Record, in which no essoin protection, or wager of law or privilege shall be ad mitted or allowed" ! ! THE JEWS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. shall feel obliged by your insertion of the following observations, resulting from an extract from Fraser's Magazine, copied into one of your late publi cations. The extract I refer to is one respecting " the present state and prospects of the Jews," in which I find the following passage, stating to be a description of the Jewish character :—" Meanness the most abject, and pride the most overbearing—the degradation of helots and yet a conscientious and a manifested sense of the dignity of a Royal priesthood—crouching, cozening, squeezing, grasping on the exchange, in the s h o p, with nothing too /ow for them to do, or too dirty, if profit able, for them to pick up." I cannot conceive how any just or sensible writer can have the audacity thus to vilify four millions of the human race; that race consisting of the descendants of ehosen ; Repple. Jvhole.,of the ; above passage inird#Th7, 4 44 re c kless; .and in every respea l t . I vthi l lcsVOY `to say, inconsistent with.the spirit liberality So lately oad tally . develOped in this coun tryi refer to.Lorti l Lyttelten's feeling when O n the repeal o f the Jewish Naturalization' Pill, In that celebrated speech his tiirdship` stated, " I assented to the Bill last year in the hopes it might induce some wealthy Jews to come and settle among us." Would his Lordship have dared to offer inducements to a people to settle in this country capable of every low and dirty action—or did he think that their industry and probity would be beneficial to this country ? I opine the latter, and I can with confidence appeal to the country whether his Lord ship's judgment has not been fully verified, when I call to recollection the names of Sir Moses Montefiore and DaVid Salomons. It would be easy to name many others equally respectable, who never manifested any crouching, cozening, squeezing, or grasping spirit on the exchange, and whose actions throughout life would laugh to scorn the miserable spirit which actuated the calumniator of a nation. I will not trespass further on your valuable columns, as my first feeling on reading the extract was to have passed it over in silent contempt, but on further consi deration 1 did not think it proper that such opinions should be circulated without comment. NOT A CROUCHING BUT A FREE-BORN JEW. Catteval, Oct. 8,1840.

The population as enu merated in 1831 was 1,494,890. The weekly average for 1838 was obtained by dividing the deaths registered in that year by 52. In comparing it with the weekly deaths in 1840, it must be borne in mind that the metropolis in creases nearly two per cent. annually ; and that, if the popul Ilion had been the same in 1838 as in 1840, the deaths would have been 1-27th part more numerous.

The literary sketches are by a variety of writers, foremost among whom is Mr. Home, who has contributed a lively and faithful etching of a Chelsea Pensioner. A TREATISE ON THE CHRONOLOGY AND THE PROPHETIC NUMBERS OF THEZIBLE. By DUNCAN MAIODJUG4L, Account ant and Teacher, Manchester. W. Smith, London. This is a work.,which we cannot attempt to cri ticise. To perform such a task effectually-would require years of patient investigation, a thorough ac quaintance with the writings of ancient astronomers, and the Fathers of the Church, great skill in ma thematics, astronomy, and languagei, and, above all, a spirit of enthusiasm in the pursuit, like that which has carried the author through lengthened, tedious, and difficult calculations of no ordinary kind ; and all we can do, therefore, is to point out some of his objects, and the results. The principal objects he had in view are— " To show that Geologists and Astronomers may assign any age to this planet, and to the creation of animals lower than man, which their knowledge in their respective sciences may determine, without, in the smallest degree, contradicting the account given in the first chapter of Genesis. " That the Hebrew text, by two streams of time, prophetic and historic, fixes the time of the creation of Adam prior to the birth of Christ to be 3,969 years, and not—as our present chronology has it-4,004 years, and as inserted in some of our English Bibles. " That the term DAY, as mentioned in the first Chapter of Genesis, is not understood as signifying a day of twenty-four hours ; but it is to be received in al prophetic sense, signifying a period of 1,000 years, and, and, consequently, the six days' creation comprehends the first 6,000 years of man's existence upon earth ; and his creation and condition during that period of time, is prefigured, or predicted, by the creation of earth, water, grass, and trees, animals, sun, moon, and stars, and in this light a beautiful harmony is percepti ble between the Mosaic prophecies, and other propheti cal and historical portions of the Bible. " That the prophetic and historical numbers in the Hebrew Bible, prove each other with extraordinary exactness, and by manifold evidence, at the same time that they foretell, in a sense the most unequivocal, and fix the date of the three important periods in the his tory of the Messiah. " That there is an error of 25 years too much mis calculated before Christ, at the beginning of the Gre cian empire, in the profane Chronology, and also an error of 15 years too much in the Christian era, making a total of 40 years too much, which has prevented many eminent persons from calculating correctly the prophe tical numbers, but especially, the error of 25 years too much before Christ. This has hindered them from see ing that the Apostle John's number of Beasts, 666, commenced at the captivity of Nebuchadnezzar, which, had they discovered, would have enabled them to have seen that the weeks of Daniel, and all the other pro phetical numbers, correspond with the number 666. " That the profane chronology as at present calcu lated, is in error, by its showing the time that elapsed from the death of Julius Ca3sar to the death of Antony, to be 14 years, whereas it ought to be 27 years ; and the period that elapsed from the death of Antony to the death of Augustus Crosar to be 44 years, whereas it ought to be 30 years. These errors have thrown Christian chronologists into confusion ; because, by adopting them in mistake they made the dates in the New Testament appear as if they were false. That the prophetic days by Moses, and the weeks by Daniel, give, with a precision equal to mathematical demonstration, the exact time of Christ's birth. " That the Hebrew text is free from corruptions in its chronological and prophetical numbers, because the historical and prophetical time there, prove each other to be correct, and, therefore, that the Jewish Scribes become vindicated from the charge of corrupting the chronology of the Hebrew text. " That as the Hebrew text has been proved correct in historical and prophetical time, it follows, then, to a certainty, that the chronological time of the Septuagint that differs from the Hebrew text, has been corrupted ; and it is also shown that the corruptions in the chro nology must have been made about the second century after Christ, and that in calculating the prophetical numbers, twenty-one new discoveries have been made by the author, These, he anticipates, will be of use to students of the prophetical parts of the Bible, and to future calculators." The following are the conclusions he comes to respecting the birth, age, and ministry of Christ : " The prophetical numbers, to a mathematical exact ness, fix the birth of Christ 731 years before the daily sacrifice ceased at Jerusalem ; and, according to Jo sephus, it ceased about the the 21st or 27th of June. St. Luke gives the age of Christ, as being about thirty years, and that in the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar. Phlegon gives the time of his death, by giving the time of the eclipse, 01. 202.4, and Jerusalem was destroyed in the second year of the 212th Olympiad. The Olympic Games were fixed at the full moon next after the Summer Solstice. As Christ's death hap pened about the beginning of April, it would of course be about three months previous to 01. 203.1 ; and from 01. 203.1 to 01. 212.2, there would be thirty seven years and three months, being the time that elapsed from the death of Christ to the destruction of Jerusalem ; and the prophetic numbers show that the birth of Christ happened 73} years previous to the de struction of Jerusalem. Subtract thirty-seven years and three months from 73k, and there will remain thirty-six years and about three months, being the time that elapsed from the birth to the death of Christ. “ The time, as I have calculated, shoss that Christ did not commence his public ministry till he was thirty years and about eight months old, and that his public ministry lasted five years and about seven months." From his calculations, he also states that a very great change, both in the moral and spiritual con ditions of mankind, must take place before the Millenium comes, and that the duration of that age must be much longer than is generally be lieved •-- - - - - " I am of opinion," he says, " that instead of a thou sand years, or Millenium, as is very generally sup posed, Christ's reign on earth in the so uls of the suc cessive races of mankind, will comprise a period o f n o less than about 860,000 years, at the close of which period, Satan again will be loosed a little season, as mentioned in Rev. `2O, and will again deceive the na tions of the earth, after which probably the genera judgment will take place, when the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall m e lt with fervent heat ; when the earth and the works that are therein shall be burnt up.'" CLANDESTINE MARRIAGE.-3 Vor,s. 11,7eley, London, 1840. The chief fault of the " Clandestine Marriage" is a want of a variety of stirring incident ; though, notwithstanding_ this obvious defect, it is an enter taining story, for the character of the young he roine, who is co nstantl y in the foreground, isforcibly co nceived, and worked out with sufficient skill and spirit ; and the dialogues incidentsthrouglioutaroef singularly light and lively. The main the talc may be summed up in a few words. Fanny sprightly girl of • tte in her nature, is to spicede the e lovely, col u sixteen, with a ; but the ° day b e f ore t b h e e handsome fool, her inclinatio n , t it is brokaenrieohflh;mar ried, a wed dingfoal, C is ap t t o ain ta N ke ug p e i n a t ce, conse quence of the bridegro and his m o th er h av ing ascertained that sh e i s an illegitimat e child. Fanny being thus left f lee to ma k e her own choice, selects the friend and instructor of her childhood, Mr. Mapleton —an eminent barrister, twice her own age ; and the story concludes, as in bounden duty, with both a briefy part r t i es. lowing desc r ipti o n of the happ iness o f `With the exception of the characters EVENING EDITION. of the heroine, and her clever friend Ali3s Durham, the dramatis persona want individuality. The dia logues, however, as we said just now, are uniformly lively, though in places not quite so natural as they might be ; and read not unlike one of Poole's or Pcake's comedies. 71IE SPORTING RE VIE W. "I like honesty in all places," said one of the most upright Judges that ever adorned the English Bench ; and if he liked to see this bright virtue practised by diplomatists, how much more would he be delighted to find it among a class of men whose honour now unfortunately stands not so high. The result of the St. Leger, we understand, has caused great scandal even among black-legs ; and some who profited by it have the honesty to admit that they have some doubts of their right to the booty. " Craven," however, has no doubts on the question, and his virtuous indignation at the conduct of certain parties will be responded to by every honest man i n th e ki ng d om . These are his words : " There is no name more honourably linked with the annals of our turf than that of Grosvenor ; that I mean any personal reflection upon Lord Westminster by the remarks I feel bound to make upon the result of the late St. Leger, I trust no one will imagine, for no design is more foreign to my purpose. Still, that the noble owner of Launcelot has given a heavy blow to horse-racing by the decision acted upon in that event, there can be but one opinion. Let any man who was not interested imagine the feelings of the backers of Maroon (a horse backed at 4 to 1, and justly so from his running with Charles the Twelfth) at seeing him stopped, when he could have gone in a winner iu a canter! What consolation was it to know they were victimised because the larger:amount of money had been laid out upon Launcelot ? What sort of a precedent is it to establish, that the event of a race shall be con tingent upon the caprice of betting men and legs, and not upon the qualities of the horses engaged in it ? It is positively monstrous !" It is pOsitively monstrous ! Many, and good judges of horses too, backed Maroon as the best horse ; and he proved himself to be so ; but he had not fair play—he was kept back by his rider; and all who betted on him were consequently " victimised "—in other words, robbed. Let black legs, and betting men—and Peers, too—twist the question as they please, " to this complexion must it come at last." Lord William Lennox has an article on " Fragments on Fishing," well interlined with scraps of poetry, as usual; and " Craven," in a history of the " Brighton Road," gives its pre sent and also its past state. Within the last forty years, he says, the first attempt was made to per form the journey in one day, and the feat was at last accomplished in thirteen hours ; now it is done in five, and by and by it may be done in one. BRITISH FARMERS' MAGAZINE. In an Essay on the Theory of Manures, which appears in the Number before us, the writer remarks, in reference to agricultural improvement, " the science of agriculture consists in the knowledge of the constituents of the land ; of the crops consti tutionally adapted to it ; the due and timely appli tion of manure ; and that order of rotation which produces the greatest abundance, and maintains the land in the highest condition. Hence it fol lows that if ever our agricultural youth are to be properly educated, a variety of experimental farms must be established, as so many colleges of educa tiop." There seems to us to be much condensed good sense in these observations, " Facts and Opinions" is a collection of terse, desultory remarks, for the most part on agricultural subjects. COLONIAL MAGAZINE. The article entitled " Effects of Climate on Man," which is commenced in this Number, con tains a brief history of the most remarkable epi demics that have afflicted the human species. The writer, in tracing the origin of these diseases, states, as a well-founded opinion, that all the destructive epidemics have had their origin in malaria, which, in a cold climate, produces typhus fever ; in a more temperate one plague and yellow fever ; and within the tropics, cholera, &c., each modified accordi n g to the idiosyncratic state of the sufferers. This doctrine he endeavours to prove by enumerating the circumstances which preceded some of the most remarkable plagues on record and in almost every instance it appears that great rains, followed by excessive heat, were the precursors. The com mencement of the cholera in India in 1817, is at- tributed to the unusual moisture and heat of pre ceding seasons ; and the great plague in 1347, the most awful on record, when two-thirds of the human race were swept off the face of the earth, followed a season of extraordinary rain and heat. Numerous other instances are given, which leave no doubt of the fact that shallow lakes and marshes, whether with fresh or salt water, are always fatal to human life. Of the two, salt water, if in small quantities, is more deleterious than fresh, as it expedites the decomposition of animal and vege table substances. This has been satisfactorily proved by oceanic inundations in Holland, Eng land, and many other parts of the world, which are invariably followed by plague or fever. One satis factory conclusion may be drawn from these facts, that as agricultural improvements (of which drain age is one of the first importance) advance, so must the general health of the human race be increased. We have space only to call a tt ent i on to two other articles deserving notice—one on the " Union o f Ireland with England," and " War, or no War, England's Duty." POOR JACK, No X. The illustrative engravings by Stanfield of this tale are capital ; indeed they are far better than the talc itself, which, though it has many humo rous scenes, is certainly not one of its author's best. The present Number offers no exception to our criticism. CASTLE OF OTRANTO. Thomas, London, 1840. The Castle of Otranto is a romance that has met with far more popularity than it deserves. Its author, Horace Walpole stated in his original preface, that it was to be regarded as a wild effort of the itnag. nation ; but it is impossible so to regard it, for Nee hardly know a work in which the imaginative faculty is so little apparent. To conjure up a ghost ; make a full-length portrait walk out of its frame, and hold a conversation with an Italian nobleman ; and describe a gigantic helmet half as hi.' as a house, tumbling down in a court-yard, and knock ing a man's brains out ;—to introduce monstrosities like these into fiction, and without a why or a where fore, except to astonish and bewilder, is not to show a fertile imagination, but a barren one ; for this lofty faculty repudiates all such obvious common places with scorn, and is never genuine when it outrages, as in the instance before us, the laws of good taste and propriety. In speaking of the characters of his story, Horace Walpole formed an equally erroneous estimate of his powers. Strictly speaking, the Castle of Otranto has no characters— at least none that are individualized, or in whom we take the slightest interest. srlle'leibeceua‘tsuitcoikruuetldo:l:air:tatilce, Manfred, is a mere stiff, g r i m nonent i ty, like one of boardt osei a m n i t ? t i e )u d ll fi e g d u b re y s sp ti l l i a ngs .twe e ; the the beautiful I sa b e ll a, are not less devoit sl l dte o a- i hero, u mark c a o n d d o likelihood d w ;: l a a n y t e l st a a s ted fo t r ha t t he he ) w 'o 'a u l i k lg s upon two legs, and wears the outward aspect of a man, we have said all that can be said in his praise. Where then, our readers may perhaps ask, lies the secret of th e great popu l ar i ty that the Castle of Otranto has enjoyed since its first publication in 1765 ? We answer, in the ease, simplicity, and freshness of its style ; in its freedom from prolixity ; in the incessant shifting of its incidents ; and the terse dramati c manner in which sorre of the more probable ones are wrought up. The present e dition of this Gothic romance is embellished with a variety of clever plates, engraved from the original designs of a young artist, named Standfast ; and is intro duced by a brief memoir of the author. -- - OAKLEY PARK.—Sir Edward Kerrison, Bart., M.
