Ktterattirc. P 0 E T It Y. SHELLS. Far out at sea, a tiny boat Has set her tiny sail, ' And, swifty, see it onward float, As freshens still the gale. A rainbow in it must have slept, To give it tints so fair; Or loveliest angel in it wept, A pearl in every tear: • More bright than pen of mine can te11,.. on that little fearless shell.: Deep in the chambers of the sea, Where Ocean's mermaids dwell, A palace stood; it seemed to me, Its every stone a shell : And, oh, what glorious hues were they That struck upon my eye, Of blue, and green, and cold, and grey, • That there unnoticed lie : As violets sweet, in loveliest dells, So blush unseen there beauteous shells. Thus, on the sea, and 'neath its waves, These painted sea-gems lie, As tomb-stones o'er the many graves Of low-born men and high ; And when they rest upon the shore, In wealth's luxurious ease, They sound to us the solemn roar They learned beneath the seas: As exiles, though afar they roam, Still 8111 g the songs they learned at home. Burlington College, May 22, 1849. NOTICES. Ouseley's Poems. This is a volume of poetry with which the poetical mind of the public ought to be well pleased, and in any other times but the present the author would have been ac cepted as a hero in the poetical art. He need not despair, even now, of meeting with much reward ; and greater will be bis triumph in the future than at a period when, owing to our railroad and other business engagements, poetry is unfortunately so much at a discount. It is well that poets are not di-heartened (and both the Literary Gazette and the Athenceuni dilate with praise on the unworldly character of poets) ; for in them, at least, nature will out ; —aye, as a prince of poets saith,— " Naturam expellas fun& tamen usque recurret." It may be well said that the love of poetry marks posses sion of mind,• whether that mind be cultivated or uncul tivated. The peasant who sings " Lord Bateman" or " Admiral Benbow," shows mind as well as the great Dr.. Johnson, who wept on reading Beattie's " Hermit," and in his old age sent out for Goldsmith's " Deserted Village," to read perhaps for the hundredth time, as a solace, refreshment, and gentle elevation of his mind. All nations have loved poetry ; many have been almost entirely taught by itS and all people of mind and heart love it ;—yea, the very Bible itself is almL.st a volume of poetry. But come we to Mr. Ouseley's poems. We will not compare him with this or that poet—with Byron. Shelley, Southey, Wordsworth, Campbell, &c. ; but we will say, that he has written many poems of which not one of these illustrious writers would disdain to own the paternity. Indeed there is the true genius and spirit of poetry in his compositions; and, what is the best test of true poetry, all readers who rise from the perusal of them will feel themselves benefitted by the elevated and moral tone that pervades their sentiments and diction. Let us point out some of those which have made an impression on our minds. At page 15 we have been struck with a short, but sweet and reverent poem, com mencing— " Mother, thy name is holier far,"— a lof household poem , which not o nl y would become thb lips of Dr. Johnson, Adam Clarke, Walter Scott, and all tEbse great men who have stated themselves to have been so indebted to maternal affection and instruction. but it ought also to be learned by each child in every pri vate family of the kingdom—in this kingdom wherein " Honour thy father and thy mother" is ever the pre vailing sentiment. At page 19, beautiful is the " Dream of the Dying Girl." How soft and subdued the scene! " It was eventide, Just as the sun sank panting from his toil; The woodbine through the latticed window crept, To feed upon the rival blush that stained That maiden's cheek ; a tall laburnuin shook Its golden bell-cups in the fragrant air; The very pulse Gf nature seemed to beat Subdued, serene." And then the description of the mother:— " Near that fond girl there stood, Pale as a marble statue in the shade, Her widowed mother; g rief had bowed her soul. The girl's eye flashed bright from its depths of blue; Her soft lip swelled as the full crimson tide Rushed to its sweetness, and a gentle smile That spoke of hope, to cheer the mourner's heart, Moved o'er her features, as the moonlight moves Upon the summer waters." She then tells her dream, spiritual indeed, to her weeping mother ; we can give but two of its comforting stanzas : " And then before me stood Two figures, clothed with a transparent cloud ; I thought, fond mother, of thy widowhood ; My faint heart beat aloud ; When, lo! the mist dissolved, and I beheld You and my father; and my bosom swelled With joy extatic, never yet excelled. " You and my father, drest I n garments fairer than the untrodden snow; A pure immortal beauty did invest Your being, and a flow Of light, and music, poured on all around, — Light, such as mortal eye bath never found, And harmony, the essence of all sound." The five following stanzas are very touching; but we must pass on, leaving also " The Childless Widow" to the gentle discernment and sympathy of our readers. At page 71, the lines entitled " What are the sweetest Flowers ?" are perhaps as perfect as any in this charming volume:— " What are the sweetest flowers ? Not those that Fleck the beautiful, the bright; Nor those that bloom in rapture's blissful bowers ; That crown the ball, or th ld's, not our f ." uet o the night— Such are the worlds, Neither are those the most beautiful that youth and love may wear at the festive scene, or such as deck the bride, for " The rose on beauty's breast May look more lovely 'neath the loved one's glance, But flowers that shine above the dead one's rest A hallowed thought for those we love enhance — We feel them with the blest." Flowers, truly, are not only symbols of many things to us, but they seem, as it were, to speak a language and to look gaiety or mourning. Those who have Teed a new book called " The Penscellwood Papers " know -how earnestly it is sought to be proved that animals have souls ; and surely the author might have carried his theory still further, and have invested flowers with sensa tion and soul—for what of the living works of the Al mighty can be said to be without soul ? At page 110. different in character from those we have already noticed, appears " The Last of the Brigands" ; and well does the author depict and sustain the love of freedom, the martial bearing, the attachment to moun tain scenery, when, " Bounding with blithesome heart from rock to rock, He carols to the sweetness of the morn," which oftentimes characterise the better ones of these sons of Nature. We cannot but think that the author has thrown peculiar force into this composition, and went con amore to his vigorous work. Take this noble de scription—and as we read it, we fancy ourselves more than excited by the manly-looking Wallack on the boards of Drury-lane, for our heart rushes to the Alps at once, and beholds the genuine Massaniello, albeit we cannot spare room for the " gentle Zitella" chat is no mean por tion of the poem. But take the hero alone : " See, see, how proud the forest outlaw stands, With folded arms, and eyes upturned to heaven ; With pouch and dagger, and with carbine slung Athwart his martial form, he dares the world! A single feather placed within his cap Crowns him as masterless! That feather dropt From off an eagle's wing while in the moult; He caught it as a prize, a valued prize, And set it there to deck his state withal; No hand dare grasßit, for he swears it fell From Freedom's height, and slaves should ne'er profane The shrine of Liberty with their base touch." A fine poem this would be for recitation. We would that such, together with speeches from Shakspeare, Cowper, &c., were more attended to in our schools ; yes, even in our National Schools, where the eternal system of writing and cyphering bids fair to dull the edee of the mind, deaden the heart, and make our boys at once dull and worldly, rather than put life and energy into their souls, and give them heroic hearts. Recommending the " Sabbath Day" for perusal, we hasten on to a truly exquisite effort, entitled " The Lone One." We have read this some dozen times over, and like it better every time. It is like Miss Drury's " An nesley" in one respect—namely, its perfectness. Not a word would we alter ; not a sentiment would we change ; little would we wish to add ; nothing would we take away. Unlike the hymns of John Wesley, which is the very worst collection of poetry extant, there is no faulty rhyme ; it is sweet and polished, and neither a Campbe nor a Rogers could have written with more care and corll rectness. At page 160, the " Stanzas on seeing a Daisy in full bloom on a Grave in January" contain many affecting thoughts, and put us in mind of Burns in one of his re flective moods. " The Wedding Ring," page 164, we might be tempted to give in fu ll. 4* Silence and Night," m page 191, has all the sombre sp l e ndour of Young, co bined with the quiet earnestness o f Montgomery, com mencing— " SILENCE and NIGHT, Watching your younger, placid SLEEP, How beautitul are ye! and we only regret that two such epithets as " beatic" and " sunlit " should appear in the fourth stanza, for we think such tinsel words deform noble thoughts. If there be any soul in Shrewsbury alone—to say nothing of the world at large—to a second edition this volume must come, and then this slight defect can be quickly remedied. " A Vision of Death's Destruction" crowns the volume, and we forbear to speak of this splendid creation of the intellect, simply because others have largely and widely done it that justice which we ourselves hardly feel equal to accomplish. In taking leave of Mr. Ouseley, we cor dially thank him for these splendid proofs of the genius of poetry Quit is within him ; we thank him for the strains that have 'Ton many an hour from the weary ways of the world ; we thank him for the elevation of mind, and goodness of heart, which his muse delights to implant ; and we trust that blessing, intellectual, moral, and reli gious, will follow him all the days of hie life : " A woman's love to cheer his dawn of day, A good man's prayer to soothe his dying hour." Let us all remember, both young and old, learned and unlearned, rich and poor, that " Time, but a little more, will toll the bell That calls my few friends to my funeral." SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Nine o'Clock, a.m. LATER. FROM AMERICA. Arrival of the Steam-Ship Hibernia. The Hibernia, mail steamer, arrived in our river at a few minutes before two o'clock this morning, after a pas sage of a little over twelve days. She brings sixty-ore passengers from New York and twelve from Halifax. The following is the list :—From New York—Rev. Mr. Jen kins, Mrs. Carthe. Mrs. Equira, three children, and ser vant, Messrs. Edwin Barnett, George Reid, James A. Sabine, Herman Boker, Francisco J. Foxa, Jacob Hen - richs, Charles Heorichs, Joseph Thomson, Black, J. E. Hernandez, S. C. Caring, Lieut.-Colonel Goodman, Massrs. J. Rohl, A. F. M. Horn, J. P. O'Niel, Equira, Armrngol, Fernandez. Leon Le Bondider, Leon Pierre, J. Pavey, Dr. Lemott, Messrs.— Pepin, Loly, Barthe, James S. Hupt, Dalton, Dr. Ross, Messrs. Tank, M. J. Collins, R. Leech, C. Atkinson, Gore ; J- S. Hanford, Max. Maretzik, Mrs. Kendall. Messrs. Mier, Lewis Meek, James Williamson, J. F. Johnson, Wm. Battersby, Mr. and Mrs. Thornton, Joseph Whel4n, Geo. Hill, L. Southon, A. Cordend, —Fraser, Binder, A. Bain, James Sinclair, Lockhart, Louis Cheviot; G. M'Allister. From Hai fax--Dr. Foaker, Messrs. Cullo den, John Gilles, two children, and maid servant, David Wack, Bonsneuf, R. Armstrong, Dawe, Cal lender. The Niagara arrived at Halifax on the 12th, and was met by the Hibernia near to New York. The cholera was rife over the whole of the American continent. At St. Louis. where it was most prevalent at the time of our last arrival, it is stated, under date July 10th :—" The partial daily reports for the week ending Sunday noon were 884—of which 678 were deaths by cholera. There are about 300 emigrants from below at quarantine, who are unable to come up, owing to the quarantine laws being in full force. It is impossible to picture the distress the epidemic has occasioned among our citizens and emigrants arriving at this port ; in a num ber of instances whole families have been swept out of existence by this awful disease, and hundreds of our mer chants have fled from the city, leaving their business very frequently in an unsettled condition." The disease was said to be increasing, the weather being wet, with a good deal of thunder and lightning. It was also very fatal at Cincinnati, Albany, Baltimore, and other parts of the union. Tn the south-west its ravages amongst the slaves are frightful, and the hitherto healthy regions of the Carolinas are beginning to experience its fatal ravages. In New York the cases are about 150 per day, of which a third are fatal. It has also made its ap pearance in the north and in Canada, but not in so de structive a form. The National Festival of Independence passed off the fourth of July without any event specially worthy of notice. The New York Tribune reports that :—" In Canada, nothing of moment bas happened, though our correspond ents advise us of coming difficulties. The Tories now boldly advocate separation from Great Britain and annexa tion to the United States. The Montreal Herald, the chief organ of that interest, has taken that ground in the most decided terms, and there is no reason to doubt that the whole party is of the same way of thinking. In Canada-West the Orangemen are organizing as if for a conflict to be decided by force of arms. They are to meet in large numbers on the 12th inst. (to-morrow) to celebrate the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne. The place of meeting is at Port Hope or at Cobourg, and the men are to be there under arms. The government has in that quarter no means of resisting them. The weapons they are to bring are those distributed among them in 1837 to put down the rebellion then existing, and may now now serve to carry on another revolt, which will be less easily subdued. We trust, however, that the matter may be settled without bloodshed." We have nothing new from California. The reports of great disoreer there are now regarded as fabrications. Another and a richer gold country has, however, been found in the srate of Sonora, in Mexico, which would pro duce an ample harvest to the Mexican people it they could get rid of their troublesome neighbours, the Apache In dians, who are committing many outrages and murders. From Mexico we hear that the rebels of Sierra Madre have taken possession of the city of San Luis Potosi, but that they soon found it necessary to evacuate it. The re volution to bring back Santa Anna is talked of, but noth ing has yet been done. The Indians are reported to have beaten the Mexicans in Yucatan. . We have," says the New York Tribune, " advises from Buenos Ayres to May 23. There was at that time a better probability of the settlement of the difficulties be tween France and England than has existed at any time since its commencement. The decree of Rosas prohibit ing every kind of communication with the British and French ships-of-war, has been suspended, and the long delayed exequatur of the British Consul bas been made out." _ The political news report a split amongst the opponents of the present administration, the Free-soil and South erners. The extension-of-slavery question is the point of difference. A riot had occurred at Boston, the contending parties being American and Irish,. Two of the latter were killed. Mr. Wilson, the vocalist, died of cholera on the Bth instant, at Quebec. He was announced to sing in Mon treal on the following afternoon. COMMERCIAL. (From the New York Tribune.) Since our last issue there has been no change in our Money market. The rate of interest is still low, and the supply of capital abundant. First-class paper goes at sto 6 per cent., and loans on best collaterals are negotiated at 4 to 5 per cent. The Banks are full of coin, and cannot employ all their means safely and profitably. The Exchange market has been dull and heavy for this steamer, and closes without activity. Good Sterling has been sold at 81 to 82, although some leading drawers obtain 82 for small sums. Francs are 535 to 5 30, and are dull. The sup plies of Sterling are large. Freights to Liverpool and Ireland are steady and rather ac tive—Corn, 61d. to 61d. in bulk; Flour, Is. 64. to is. 71,1. ; heavy goods, 20s. to 225. 6d. ; Cotton, *d. ; Naval Stores, 2s. to 3s. To Ireland—Corn, 7d. to Bd. To Havre—Cotton, ic. There are large quantities of Corn going forward to Liverpool and Ireland. Business generally is quite dull in all branches except pro duce. This condition of things, however, is to be expected at this season of the year. The dry-goods business is quiet, and prices are sustained with difficulty. Cloths, however, are doing better. In Breadstuffs there is a good demand, and for Flour the market is improving. Best Western Canal sells at 4 621 to 475 per brl ; sour, 350 to .84 ; fine, 406t0 4 12. The sales for export are large, mainly of fine. Corn is in large demand for export, with sales of 8,000 to 10,000 qrs. per day, at 53 to 551 c. per bush. for mixed, 56 for flat yellow, 54 to 56c. for white, 58 to 581 c. for round yellow: Wheat is heavy and dull. Genes9e is nominally 120 to 123 ; Western, 73 to 102—the latter for prime Ohio, and the former for Illinois and Wisconsin red. The Provision market has not been very active. but Pork has improved to 9 25 for Prime and 10 75 for Mess; the stock here is about 120,000 brls. Beef is scarce and firm ; Prime Mess sells at 16 50 to 317 per tierce. Lard is heavy at 6/ to 62c. for good and prime ; Grease 5* to 51. Cut Meats are firm. Shoul ders, 41 to 41; Hams, 51 to 6/; Sides, 6to 7 ; Grease Butter, 61 ; Cheese, 2to 5c., according to quality. The late news from Europe has given an impulse to Cotton, and the qualities have advanced fully a Ic. per lb. since the last steamer. The demand has been active, and the sales reach 2,000 to 4,000 bales per day, partly on speculation but mainly for export. The stock here is 65,000 bales, of which 10,000 bales are on the market. Holders are very firm. Uplands. N. Orleans i• Mobile. Inferior Ordinary 7l to 71 7/ to Si Middling B* to 82 82 to 81 Good middling Middling fair B2 to Si 9 to 91 Fair BUFFALO, July 10.—The market for Flour is firmer, with a fair home and export demand. Freights unchanged. ALBANY, July 10.—In Flour there is a good business doing. Oats continue buoyant, the transactions reaching 10,000 bush. at 33ic. The MONTREAL advices are firm. [We should have been enabled to give the news by this steamer in our Town Edition, but for one of those unac countable freaks of authority, of late practised by the Custom House officials of this port. It has always been the practice of the messengers from the London and local press to land by the steamer which brings the mails ashore. On this occasion, however, by the authority of the landing-waiters on board, they were prevented; and their bags of papers submitted to a search, by which they were detained two hours. The result is that not only our local subscribers are deprived of important news, which it it was quite in our power to give, but that the metropo lis and hundreds of towns in the empire will be similarly delayed in receiving information from one of the leading markets in the world. We can find no excuse for this insulting interference; for we do not know that a case ever occurred in which anything like smuggling was charged against the members of the press boarding these boats.—Ed. L. S.] The Railways of the United Kingdom statistically con sidered. By Harry Scrivenor, Secretary to the Liver verpool Stock Exchange. London : Smith, Elder, and Co., 65, Cornhill. In our last publication we quoted from the columns of a London contemporary, the Morning Herald, a flat tering notice of the above work, which at that period we had not seen. We have since, however, had an opportu nity of examining it for ourselves ; and must candidly ac knowledge that the opinion of our contemporary is fully justified by the work itself. Mr. Scrivenor has brought to the task which he has imposed upon himself great in dustry and acumen, combined with a thorough kno w led g e of the nature of his subject ; and the result is a volume affording all the information necessary to guide parties seeking investments in railways to a correct knowledge of the position and prospects of the various companies. To give our readers an idea o f the kind of information con veyed, we will briefly state the various particulars given with respect to one great company, the London and North-Western. Mr. Scrivenor gives us first a list of the various lines opened composing the company, with their lengths ; and also those in course of formation. He proceeds to give us a history of the formation of each 1 ne : the date of its act of Parliament, the amount of ca p ital authorised to be raised in shares, and the amount to be borrowed ; the amount received, and that remaining to be called up ; the dividends so far paid, the rate at which capital has been borrowed, &c. The terms upon which amalgamations, leases, purchases, &c., have been arranged, are given in a very intelligible shape ; and the reader cannot fail to rise from the perusal' of his explana tion without a perfect knowledge of the position and actual value as an investment of every portion of the company's stock. The work is invaluable as a book of reference; and it is interesting besides as conveying accu rate details with respect to a branch of modern enterprise gigantic in its extent and most impoitant in its bearings upon the future progress of this great commercial nation. THE LIVERPOOL %TANDARD. Zi • On CO • .4 —, • Ga THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. YORKSHIRE.—The weather during the past week has been somewhat more favourable to the growing crops. Monday was exceedingly hot, and but for a light breeze the heat would have been almost insupportable. On Tuesday evening there were about two hours light rain, but not sufficient to do more than moisten the surface. On Wednesday there was a fine shower in the afternoon, which was followed by more rain during the night, and whilst we are writing there is every prospect of more. The turnips have derived great advantage, as well as the grain crops generally. The remarks which we made last, and the previous week, still apply. On the clays, the long continued drought has materially injured the wheats, and, however, favourable the weather may be up to bar. vest, it can never restore them to the promising state they were in before the drought set in. On the sands and loamy soils, however, the wheats look remarkably well. The ears are bold and well filled, and just sufficiently rank to ensure a large crop without deterioration of quality. The early sown barleys are fast attaining maturity. Beans at present are in a very healthy state, and promise an abundant crop. Potatoes are also looking well, and up to the present period we hear very little of the potato disease.—Doncaster Chronicle. _ _ NORFOLK.—TiIe near approach to the harvest enables us to make a rough estimate of the condition of the crops of gra n and pulse. Relative to the wheat crops, there seems to be diversify of opinion ; for ourselves, we think the general appearance betokens a full average produce ; but we know there are many large growers who do nst entertain so favourable an opinion. They say the ears are short, and the leaf broad and lusty, a circumstance importing to the crop an off-hand appearance of produc tiveness, which a closer examination does not confirm. Barley and oats are looking well upon all mixed soil lands, even including those of a sandy description ; but in wet bottoms, and on stiff clayey lands, the present appear ance betokens anything rather than a full yield of grain or handsome sample. The same may be said of pulse in general, especially upon newly broken-up and reclaimed peaty soils, which having been partially inundated after the crops were planted, whether with pulse or grain, will yield no return during the present year, since even now the land is to poachy too be made available for any other purpose. —Norfolk Chronicle. LYNN.-Our correspondent states that in the impor tant district of West Norfolk, the crops are looking remarkably well, and give promise of an abundant har vest. Harvest operations will soon commence in that neighbourhood. SUSSEX.—There has been a vast improvement in the wheat crop in the Weald during the week. The straw had shot un surprisingly, and is standing well, while the ears have been enlarged and the bloom has set, and the ears are filling well. Notwithstanding that many pieces are thin, there is every prospect of a good average crop. There is some talk of smut and red rust, but not to a great extent. Barley has improved, and is in full ear ; it is thin in places, and the crop, although uneven, cannot be called a poor one at present. Of some parts of East Surrey we do not hear so good a report ; but in the Weald there is not much fault to find, nor is there upon the Downs. Oats are short in the Weald, and, with some few splendid exceptions, do not promise well. Peas are well set, and the pods generally well filled, with little maggot in them. Beans are short in haulm, and not much is expected from them ; but they have improved lately. The second crop of clover requires rain, as also do the turnips, which, although a good plant generally, grow slowly and are backward. Potatoes, although there is a blight among the early ones, do not show much out ward signs of the disease as yet ; and the backward plants look healthy enough.—Briyhton Chronicle. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. Gentle rains and hastening weather are the ft atures of the week. Wheats are mo turing kindly, feeding and bright. Barleys, late sown and thin pieces, are improving. Beans will be forward, corn ing well. It is turnip year, they are doing well ; and po tatoes appear to be going on safely. THE MIDLAND DISTRICTS.—It is pleasing to state, as well from personal obrervation as from the authority of some of the first agriculturists, that the crops in Derby. shire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Shropshire, are unusually luxuriant and promising. The hay harvest is nearly completed, and, owing to the re markable fineness of the season, has been got in at a com paratively small expense. An abundant after-math de pends upon the occurrence of future rains ; but as St. Swithin's (Sunday) passed over with only one almost im perceptible shower, a succession of wet, by the weather wise, is not expected. Barley, peas, and particularly beans, look exceedingly well; but early-sown wheat, more especially on high lands, is generally described as thin— still it is thought that a more than average crop may now with safety be anticipated. The late dry, hot weather has seriously affected turnips—they are scarce, small, and far from being of the first quality ; but potatoes, notwith standing reports to the contrary from other parts of the country, are, in this neighbourhood, not only plentiful but healthy. Apples promise to be abundant in Worcester shire.—Derby Mercury. The wheat crops in every direction look exceedingly well, having very generally begun, during the protracted interval of dry weather, to assume the mellow hue of autumn; the straw is for the most part long and the ear plump and healthy; and for anything that can yet be observed, the crop generally promises to be as good and abundant as it has ever before been in the experience of any one living. Oats are also good, but barley, we regret to say, is extensively affected by smut both in our own immediate neighbourhood and throughout the districts adjoining. As to the potatoes, it seems to be admitted by even the most speculative observers of the changes which develope themselves at this critical period of the year, that the crop is likely to prove as good a one as was ever known previous to the potato disease reaching its climax. —Oxford Herald. . . . . SCOTLAND.—Since last week the weather has continued prosperous for the crops. which, under an almost tropical heat and occasional showers, have made rapid progress. The wheat has attained its full length—a beautiful heavy and clean crop. Oats are everywhere in ear, and bulky ; and the potato crop never showed better indications of an abundant and sound yield. They are now in daily use in almost every family. The green cut grass is generally in rick, and that for seeding will be ripe for the scythe this week. Turnips, mangle wurzle, and other bulbous roots, are thriving well. Collectively, there is every reason to expect an abundant, but not a very early, harvest of every species of crop.—Glasyou, Paper. IRELAND.-From ourfour provincesthe accounts continue of the most satisfactory kind. The Cork Examiner thus reports of the south :—" We can positively state, on the authority of correspondents from almost all parts of the south, that the crops are progressing as well, as the best friends of Ireland could desire. Everything is ripening fast, and no sign of disease or blight whatever. In some of the country markets potatoes are selling for one half penny a pound." POTATO CROP.—Without an exception, we may say, that the crop to which universal attention is turned—the potato—is as yet reported safe, and this may be said par ticularly as regards England and Ireland. It is feared that the very severe frosts which occurred in June, in Scotland, have injured that crop more or less ; but where they are recovering from the severe weather (and they are reported as " coming round again"), there is a promise of an abundant and healthy crop from those early sown. The reports say they " never had a fairer prospect," and in every report we read we hear that the leaves are for the most part broad and well-coloured. Should the present weather continue, we shall have an early and abundant harvest. All the cereal crops are reported as forward and most promising, while peas and beans will, it is stated, prove an average crop. Mark-lane Express. —The Cork Examiner says " Since our last the most contra dietary accounts have been received in the city from va rious parts of this county and the county of Kerry as to the state of the crop upon which such universal interest is felt. It is very curious that different statements come from the same place ; and that where disease is spoken of as appearing in a locality one day, it is spoken of as having disappeared from it in a day or two after. That disease has appeared in a few fields, there can be no doubt ; but it is equally positive that, as yet, the general crop is safe, and in almost all places unusually abundant and thriving. The general impression is, that it is so far advanced that, supposing a blight to set in, the tuber will have been out of the ground before such time as the disease could have reached it." The beautiful weather with which we have been favoured has enabled all the operations connected with hay-harvest ing to be carried on unchecked. Most of it is now got in. The crops have generally been heavy and the quality ex traordinary ; the suitableness of the weather has made the expense of getting it in as little as possible. SATURDAY, JULY 21. PRESTON.—We have had refreshing showers during the week, which have had a favourable influence upon the crops generally. MANCHESTER.—The weather has been showery and un settled during the greater part of the week, which has so far proved highly beneficial to the growing crops. TuouivEY, NEAR PETERBOROUGH.—We have had some seasonable showers of rain during the week. NEWCASTLE-lIPON-TYNE.—The weather during the week has been very favourable for the growing crops. We have had several fine showers, which have greatly im proved spring corn. To-day is gloomy, with a cooler at mosphere. CORK.—Up to Wednesday the weather continued hot and highly favourable for the crops ; since then it has undergone a complete change, and the temperature has fallen considerably ; some showers of rain have occurred accompanied by high winds, but no apprehensions are entertained of their having an injurious tendency. Re ports of an unpleasant and unfavourable character are pretty general within the last few days, regarding certain appearances on the potato stalks, strongly indicating a re newal of the disease of former years, but in a mitigated form ;—the accounts are somewhat contradictory, and therefore require confirmation ; sufficient, however, has transpired, to awaken in some localities a very painful anxiety for the ultimate safety of the crop. WATERFORD.—The weather has got much cooler, but no rain has fallen here beyond some passing showers. BELFAST. —The weather, since our last, has been changeable, and a good deal of rain has fallen during the last two days. The following Post Office notice has just been issued:— " Information having been received from the Director General of the Pest Office of Prussia, that newspapers for. warded through that country to Turkey, Moldavia, Wal lachia, Servia, the Levant, Egypt, Greece, the lonian Islands, and the Italian States, not belonging to Austria, are liable to a Prussian transit rate of Id. each, on news papers hereafter posted for the above mentioned coun tries, %pecially addressed to be forwarded "via Ostend," " via Elamburgh," or " via Holland," this transit rate must be taken, in addition to the rate of a halfpenny now chargeable upon them, making a total postage of lid. for each newspaper, and they will not be transmitted by any one of these routes unless the postage he paid in advance. tv r 9": • I "c 15 -'n' 1 t" G o rn szt: • I 4• 1 ' ‘c 0_ : : I;-.,.. :: L''.. - 1 :: 0, Ca bP.

We have also to note several parcels of Wheat, Oats, and Malt, Coast wise and from Ireland. At our Market to-day there was a fair demnd for good fre h Wheats, both English and Foreign, at the full rates of Frit.ay, and in most cases on terms fully equal to tho,e o f this day week. Prime Flour, both Irish and American, was also in fair re que t. and fully as dear as on Tuesday last. 1 nßarley, Malt, Beans,& Peas, the transactions were lirr ited, at late prices. The same remarks are applicable to Oats ; Oatmeal moved off rather more freely, and at rather higher prices. Indian Corn continued to be taken off sparingly, and was cheaper again to-day. We reduce our quotations 2s. 6d. per qr. below those of Tuesday last. I tgl it ns 0 oF• I GO 1 r•-• r-A Ctntry . 5 i g C ' F . r p, or A. . 4 - r .o pe o jg o: - : O ca.

The hotels of Killarney are already crowded with tour ists from all parts of the world, visiting the lakes. The Cork Constitution says, that a few days ago, a country pauper bought a little girl from her father for the sum of five shillings and sevenpence for the object of trading with her in begging. Mrs. Smith O'Brien and her children returned to Lime rick from Dublin on Wednesday. She has gone for the present to the house of her father, Mr. Gabbatt, of Limerick. The Limerick Chronicle states that Judge Perrin re tires from the bench, on his full salary, after the conclu sion of the present circuit, and that the Attorney-General will succeed his lordship in the Queen's Bench. DEATH OF MR. RICHARD PENNEFATHER.—The Clon rnel Chronicle announces the death of this much-esteemed gentleman, of cholera, at Newtown Anner, the hospitable residence of Captain Osborne, M.P. for Middlesex. The deceased was the eldest son of Baron Pennefather, and was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of the Tipperary militia by the Earl of Glengall, on the death of Lieutenant- Colonel Purefoy. He also filled the important office of Under-Secretary for Ireland during the administration of Sir R. Peel, for which he proved himself peculiarly adapted from his excellent business habits, the intelli gence of his mind, personal activ , ty, and courteous address. - HORRIBLE STORY.—The Cork Examiner has the fol lowing shocking statement :—" Mr. Gilbert Lloyd, of Millview, Kanturk, made appiication to the magistrates on Saturday, to have the dogs of the neighbourhood logged, as he stated that his men found the leg and arm of a corpse near his house after being devoured by dogs, and he, in person, was compelled to force away some dogs yesterday from another corpse, after they bad de voured the head and neck, and destroyed the entire body. The workhouse burial ground is on Mr. Lloyd's farm, from which they were rooted ; but there can be no blame attached to the vice-guardians, who have done all in their power to prevent a recurrence of such a profanation." THE ORANGE COLLISION.—The following is the ver dict of the jury upon four of the individuals who lost their lives :—" The deceased Hugh King died on the morning of Friday, the 13th day of July instant, in the town of Castlewellan, in the county of Down, from a gun-shot wound inflicted on him by some person unknown in a party procession, in the townland of Maghermayo, in said county, on Thursday. the 12th instant. The deceased Patrick King, John Sweeny. and Anne Traynor, died or. Thursday, the 12th day of July instant, in the townland of Maghermayo, in this county, by certain violent inju ries inflicted on the aforesaid day by some persons unknown of a party procession passing by said townland on said day." PROTESTANTISM IN ROME. (From the Dublin Evening Herald) Protestantism is now planted deep in the centre of the papal soil. We do not say so merely because popery has been made odious to the Roman people by the murderous violence of the pontiff. We speak not inferentially, but upon the reluctant testimony of a most competent and re markable witness. Father Ventura, the substance of whose letter upon the French expedition to Rome we lately published, has recently published another letter upon the state of religion in the eternal city. In this document the following remarkable passages occur : "You wish to know in what state faith is at Rome. On that subject I have nothing to tell you but what is most deplorable. You are aware, perhaps, that the confessionals and holy chairs were carried away from several of the churches with the inten tion of burning them on the Piazza del Popolo. The govern ment was strong enough to prevent this scandal. Nevertheless, the cry was raised—' Death to ail who go to confession death to the priests 1 death to the monks and the churches, the con fessionals, the communion, the sermons, and all religious ob servances are abandoned. The churches are deserted, and for want of hearers there is no more preaching. And all this is the result of the hatred, the contempt, the execration which t'3e priesthood has incurred. What is still more astonishing is, that the women, even of the lower classes, who were for merly so religious, are the first to repel the priests, and have given up all religious observances. I say it with tears in any eyes, and with a heart broken with sorrow, real protestantism, which consists in faith without works, in the profession of the gospel without the ministry of the priesthood, is actually esta blished in the central city of catholicism 1 Out of a hundred persons I doubt if ten can be found to have remained catholics. They will have nothing but the religion of the gospel, and you know what that means.. Thus our twenty years' labours' for kindling a livelier faith, and a more durable attachment to the church, are lost in seven months. And if this goes on, if an apostate priest can be found hold and impious enough to con stitute himself the head of the religion of the gospel, Protestant ism will soon be installed at Rome as the religion of the state.. here is no doubt about it. @rural inisrellanp. REGATTA ON. WINDERMERE. — The time fixed upon for this sport is said to be in the course of next month (August). It is said that the Marquess of Londonderry obtained last year, from his Pensher, Rainton, and Pittington col lieries, the large profit of £62,500. It is announced in a supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday, that George Edward Wilson, Esq., of Hever sham House, has been appointed sheriff of the county of Westmoreland. The Sumerland Times states that the watering places in that district—Tynemouth, Cullercoats, Newbiggin, Roker, Croft, Dinsdale, Middleton, and Gilslond—are all well filled with respectable company. A new mode of cheap and healthful enjoyment has been opened to the artizan classes of London. Pleasure trips on the Paddington Canal, in barges conveniently and or namentally fitted up, have become frequent this month. CARNARVON REGATTA.—This regatta is intended to take place on the 9th and 10th of August. The prize list, as usual, is very large, and the amusements will be of the most interesting and varied description. The superintendent of the Aylesbury police having be come obnoxious to some individuals, they revenged them selves by painting his mule—one side yellow and the other green. SALMON. —During the past week a great quantity of salmon, morts, and sprods have been caught upon Milli,- thorpe sands; they are selling as low as 7d. to Bd. per lb. fresh caught every day. Foreign capital in English securities has, it is calm_ lated, been invested to the amount of £22,000,000 consequence of the disturbed state of Europe durin g ' ti r e last eighteen months. THE CHOLERA.—From the statement of a correspondent in a provincial paper, it would seem that in several cs esp holera in that district the 5'A b een poisoned, MADAME SONTAG.—This extraordinary vocalist is an nounced to sing in four different languages—ltalian, Ger man, French, and English, at a concert to be given in the concert-room of her Majesty's Theatre. Her Amina last week was said to be the finest on the stage since Malibran, and even to eclipse that of Jenny Lind. At the Oxford Assizes, James Layton, accused of the murder of his wife on a public road near Banbury, first by shooting her in the forehead, and then cutting her throat, was acquitted on the ground of insanity. Several respectable persons gave evidence that he had long been considered mad, and on being called upon to plead to the indictment be replied—" I wish to say, when you make mention of the word dead, that the woman never died a natural death, but she dyed some colour; the woman is alive at the present moment, and I will swear it." DESPERATE LEAP FROM BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE.—On Thursday evening, a man, apparently about 40 years of age, but unknown, mounted the bridge and plunged head foremost into the river. Bull, one of the officers on the Blackfriars-pier, instantly put off in a boat and rowed towards the deceased, and having overtaken him put forth his hand intending to lay hold of the hair of his bead and pull him into his boat. The tide, however, was running down very rapidly, and the hair on the man's head being too short for Bull to hold, the boat was carried over the man and he immediately afterwards disappeared. THE FRANKLIN EXPEDITION.—A despatch has arrived at the Admiralty, from Sir John Richardson, without any news of Sir John Franklin. The expedition had traversed the coast from the Mackenzie and Coppermine River; but the Esquimaux all declare that no white men had made their appearance. Unfortunately the ice set in unu-• sually strong, and prevented the expedition from proceed ing beyond Icy Cove, to the north of Cape Kendall, just as it was on the point of exploring a most int- resting re gion. Thus, for the present, all hope is cut off of disco vering the lost voyagers. The search for Captain Frank lin has brought to light many interesting facts respecting the inhospitable regions of Arctic America. CHOLERA AT MERTHYR.—This frightful disease con tinues to rage in this locality with unabated virulence, notwithstanding everything has been done to mitigate it by the Board of Guardians, the medical staff, and the authorities generally. The following is the return up to ten on Wednesday morning, and we are sorry to add that the disease has not at all decreased since the report was made up. The extensive preventive measures adopted at Dowlais were for a long time successful; but the disease is now raging there with greater virulence, in proportion to the population, than it has in any othar part of the district :—Merthyr, total cases from the commencement, 1,238; died, 499. Dowlais, total cases, 222; died. 80. Aberdare, total cases. 145 ; died 40. Total in the three places, 1,605 cases, 609 fatal. REVENGE.—A short time since the incumbent of Bar nard Castle, in Yorkshire, gave the eatage of the grass in the church-yard to a butcher, a respectable young trades man, on the condition that it was to be eaten by sheep. In gratitnde the young man, in a contested election for churchwardens, exerted himself and polled a great num ber of votes for the church candidate. The defeated party in revenge set the bellman to work, who went round the - town crying that Mr. D— had on hand a large quantity of consecrated mutton, which he had fattended in the church-yard on the bones of their ancestors, and could consequently let them have it at a reduced price. Cus tomers, who did not fear loathsome diseases, were re quested to apply early, as the mutton would not keep, in consequence of the food on which the sheep had been fattened. The British skip Sarah Crisp was discovered by the Emma Sherratt, on her voyage outward to Hong Kong, teak-laden and water-logged, almost a perfect wreck, her mast gone, as well as every thing on deck. With much care nineteen persons in a shocking state of exhaustion were taken off the wreck. They proved to be Clptain Taylor, the master ; Mr. Long, the chief mate ; and se venteen seamen. Their sufferings had been truly awful. They had been twenty-seven nights and days on the wreck, with nothing to subsist on excepting a monkey and two fishes, and all the water they had was about a couple of buckets, which they caught with some old canvass. The second mate and twelve seamen had died from want of food. The ship's loss was attributed to a plank start ing, as she filled in a very short time and turned over on her side. NAVIGATION OF RIVERS IN INDTA.—A deputation of gentlemen, consisting chiefly of merchants connected with India, and officers in the lion, company's service, had an interview last week with the deputy chairman of the Hon. East India Company to impress upon them the import ance of opening the cotton districts of the Deccan, and our newly acquired territory, the Punjaub, by means of steamboats of an improved construction, to ply on the rivers, as recommended by Mr. Bourne, R.N. These vessels are expected to carry a large cargo on a draft of water not exceeding twelve inches, at a rate of speed, and with a capability of surmounting shoals and quicksands, so as to ply night and day without interruption. The deputation was most favourably received, and it is under stood that the subject suggested by them will be brought under the early consideration of the court of directors. AN ARRIVAL OF CALIFORNIAN GOLD IN GLASGOW.— We understand that Messrs. Macallum and Graham, of Glasgow have received a box of Californian gold, the first, we believe, that has come to this quarter. The box is nearly five inches in length and breadth, but little more than two inches deep, and 14 11-16ths oz. of gold. The gold is chiefly in flakes, but amongst them are some large and heavy pieces, evidently in the state in which they have been taken off the rock. The gold in pieces has the appearance of having been at one period exposed to the action of fire, and the rocks in the region from which they have come have been the subjnr of volcanic action. The contents of the box estimated at the value of 655. per ounce, a low price for gold in this state, are worth £4BO. The ease is a sample of a consignment, per the "Lord Hardinge" to London, by Messrs. Cross, Hobson, and Co., of San Francisco, to their friends in Glasgow.— North British Mail. CURIOUS DISCOVERY.-A few days since about 30 small bones were found in the wall of the south-west porch of the parish of St. Mary's Church, Chesterfield. Singularly enough they were all the same small metatarsa' (we believe) bone of the human foot. We have no doubt whatever that in the ages when so much veneration was paid to the bones of the saints, when they were abstracted and sold for amulets and curative purposes, that some story had gone current about the wonders performed by a bone of this description ; and that some cunning monk had secreted all he could collect from the sexton ready to palm them on his credulous visitors as the original miracle-working relic. He would sell them to strangers under strict promise of secrecy, and each would go away to his own home satisfied that he was in possession of that part of the saint's toe which had been of such wondrous efficacy. Death or the Reformation may have stopped him ere he had disposed of all his treasure.—Derby Mercury. A NEW SHIPPING SIGNAL.—On Wednesday a newly invented apparatus for the prevention of collision at sea during foggy and thick weather, when lights and other methods now in use are altogether unavailable, was exhi bited at Lloyd's Rooms, Royal Exchange. The machine is the production of a Mr. Wells ; it is extremely portable. occupying a space about two feet square, and capable of being worked by one man, who, turning a cog wheel act ing on a force pump, produces a volume of sound that will penetrate several miles distant, which being continuous satisfactorily marks the position of a vessel. The machine, which was inspected by numerous merchants, shipowners, captains, and practical nautical men, was highly approved of, and it appeared to be the prevailing opinion that all vessels proceeding to sea should be furnished with one, not only to prevent similar collisions to that of the Europa and Charles Bartlett, but also to be used when off a lee shore, or in distress. _ _ _ FneroeTs.—Accounts from Memel of the sth current state, that in the course of last month 310 ships had ar riveXthere, and of these 130 seeking cargo, which had been the means of reducing freights. The rates at that date were—to east coast of England, 3s. 9d., 3s. 7d., 3s. 6d. ; Grangemouth and Newcastle, 3s. 3d. ; Hull, Lynn, and Wisbeach, 3s. 9d. ; London, 3s. 9d. per quarter wheat, 17s. and 16s. 6d. per load ; west coast of England, 4s. 6d.; east coast of Ireland, 4s. 6d. ; Gloucester and Dublin, 4s. 6d. per quarter wheat ; Bristol. Channel, 4s. ld. per quarter, for a large ship ; Dundee, £275 in the lump, for a ship of 235 tons register; Kirkaldy, 355. per ton flax ; Hull, 60s. per standard hundred planks ; Gloucester or Bristol, 21s. per load, or any other port in the channel, 20s. ; one British ship had been chartered at Odessa for Britain, on the 2nd, at 51s. 6d. per ton tallow ; other two-. at 555., and another of 230 tons register at 60s. A Rus sian had obtained 475. 6d. to this country. There re mained seeking two British ships of about 4,000 quarters together; one Baltic Russian of 2.000 ; one Mecklen burger, and about thirty-five Mediterranean vessels. EXTENSIVE FIRE IN LONDON.—On Saturday morning, shortly after two o'clock, a most destructive fire broke out at the Red Lion Inn, immediately at the rear of the Queen's Hotel, in Aldersgate-street. The premises are situate at the corner of Bull and Mouth-street, and were known as the Lincolnshire, Derby, and Yorkshire House, King Edward-street, City,-occupied by Mr. Tabernacle, late of the Surrey Coalhole. The fire was first perceived by Blomfield, 286 City, who , in passing observed a strong light in the lower room,, from an opening over the door in Bull and Mouth-street. He instantly gave the alarm, when there appeared at the first-floor window the wife of the occupier, the servant, and the potman. They let themselves with some difficulty down in a sheet, the policeman assisting them to the ground. The flames continued to progress. with fearful violence, and in a few minutes the fire shot from room to room until the whole of the premises, from the bottom to the tap, were in a most dreadful blaze. In a short time the- floors fell in, and shortly afterwards the roof, the light shed by the fall of the roof illuminating the whole of the city. Of the origin of the outbreak nothing could be learned, nor whether the occupier is insured. MURDER OF Two CHILDREN BY THEIR UNCLE.—On Friday week a labourer, named Benjamin Heald, aged 20 years, residing with his parents at Knottingley, York shire, took two of his brother's children into the garden for a walk. After being there a short time he desired the children to leave the garden, which they manifested a disinclination to do. He took up a bottle, it is supposed in a fit of insanity, and beat out the brains of the little boy, five years old. He immediately afterwards killed the little girl, three years old, by beating her over the head with a stick. This dreadful tragedy accomplished, he went into the house and told his mother that he believed he had killed the two children, and alleged, with the greatest apparent coolness, that he had done so because he was afraid they would come to want. He then left home and went into the town, his residence being at the outskirts, and enquired for a surgeon. He was soon taken into custody, but seemed little concerned, and shortly fell fast asleep. All the family of the prisoner are remarkably steady and industrious people, and towards the twa mug. dered children it appeared that none of them had shown greater kindness and affection than the prisoner. The father of the two children lost his wife about six months ago, and had, with his two children, gone to reside with his parents, with whom his brother, the prisoner, also resided. 4 , • GO . i i • , 1 7: :. 1. 4 9. m. - co • F r :. 2 " 10 0 ~. 1. • co o Fr, Jaly 2_42...1.21...t POLICE COURT.—YEsTsaDAT• vppsi v is etul till arcyrrrec. vol. —• art, f el. terday, at the opening of the court ; the abseennecaliedp dueted Subsequently , th e h worthy magistrate was owing to his having be e 11 ,, e d lsdf assist in performing the last o ffi ces for the d ee", ter clg . of his old friend Mr. Aikin, who was interred Fe . ,d c oo' ILLICIT Mr. Rushton did not preside in the Police -nn _ ~f t o V I the Police-court, to substantiatethe following .vgeti Ace ; , „ The °'" fte rnoo' of " Inland Revenue," appeared before the nu i r cbstt e against a girl named Mary Hughes : he went into a house in Nicholson-street, in w*n seo oo , uspiMnierss.sr.RmusthAtToni nll. came _intwo athlkeec:hrts.n7traoteso A covered a t between four iifcgoilutl fortnight ago still d on tix fi v w e anl o'clock rkke r;otahpetougrrcordlS awttaluisre t i l gn a i v ir . :, iivbitoit ,l; and another woman at a house in Scotland-roan_adeber an illicit still was in operation.
