Vottrp. THE FAREWELL. (For the Liverpool Standard.) TO ELIZA. Farewell, farewell ! I will think of thee often, When the shadow of years o'er each feeling is cast ; When time every bitter emotion shall soften, And remembrance awake not a pang of . the past. Farewell! and when nature gives birth to each treasure That exhales front the blossom, or breathes from the tree, And each tear that o'erflows is the tear-drop of pleasure, I'll dwell on my days of enjoyment-with thee. But saw, when the sunshine of pleasure glows round thee, And gilds the gay current of life with its beam, Will thy heart ever think of the ties that once bound thee ? Where are they ? what are they ? what were they ? A dream For me the dull stream of existence shall borrow No sweet ray of hope, its dark wave to illume ; And . the willow that hangs o'er its murmuring sorrow, Shall banish each thought that could light up its bloom. Then farewell, and for ever, to vou who were dearest ! Farewell to each hope that.could cherish that spell ! A cloud will pass over the sky when 'tis clearest : It has been so with toe—fare thee well ! fare thee well ! E-1.) B STANZAS, ADDRESSED TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. (For the Liverpool Standard.) All hail to thee ! Hero of Waterloo's field ! Long, long live thou yet, to be hononr'd by all: Oh ! bright be the visions thine old age shall yield— As bright as the scenes which thy mind can recall! Each patriot renders his homage to thee, Defender of Liberty's favourite seat ! , Preserver of England, the home of the free ! Pale tyranny ever from thee did retreat. The bravest. of heroes ! we honour thy name ; We sing of thy valour, unequall'd in light : Thy conquests, unnumbeed, we loudly proclaim— Defac'd not by cruelty's withering blight. Nor yet, while we echo the warrior's praise, Forget we the fame to the. senator due : As gratitude's tribute our plaudits we raise, — To God—to thy Queen—to thy country how true ! Yes,—braving the perils Which others would fear, Regardless of danger, nor courting applause,— Mon bast been our guardian when dangers were near— East stood by our church, and our throne, and our laws The lino—the statesman—the patriot's fame— All, all is thy due—all to thee shall be giv'n : Posterity's annals shall honour thy name, Till earth by the thunder of heav'n he riv'n. Then, hail to thee! Hero of Waterloo's field! Long, long live thou yet, to be honour'd by all : Oh! bright be the Visions thine old age shall yield-- As bright as the scenes which thy mind can recall. ends, Dec. 9th, 1839. J. M. 1. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE. „(Froin the Leeds Intelligeneer.) The tremendous punishment inflicted upon the-whig radicals of South Lancashire at the last general elec tion, convinced the reflecting portion of them that, however they might annoy their adversaries by factious opposition, there was no chance of their obtaining the representation of the county, unless some great chemise should take place in the politics of the leading mem bers of the conservative party. The results of the registrations which have taken place since the last contest only added strength to the ascendant conservatives, and there seemed nothing left for the whigs but resignation to their inevitable lot. To keep up their spiritS, however, some cunning wag has recently invented a tale to the effect that three of the leading Roman Catholics of the division who have hitherto always suppOrted the conservative cause had intimated their intention to withdraw from that side and join the ranks of the whigs. The gentlemen alluded to are Sir John Gerard, T. J. Trafford, Esq., and C. Scarisbrick, Esq., th e p resen t Hi g h Sh er iff. The reason assigned for the change of principle im puted to these gentlemen was the offence taken by them at some attacks made upon the Roman Catholic religion by the Rev. H. Stowell and other gentlemen at some recent public meetings. The account of their conversion, which first appeared in a Preston paper, very quickly travelled the round of the liberal press, whose conductors saw, or pretended to see, in it the promise of a great change in the respective positions of the two parties in South Lancashire. The total number of votes said to be under the influence of these gentlemen was estimated at a thousand ; and, as everybody knows, a thousand taken from one side and added to the other would make a difference of two thousand—so it was at once concluded, that at the next election, one, if not both, the present conserva tive members must be unseated. What a pity such a pleasant prospect cannot be realised ! Nay, the story had scarcely got into circulation before it was contra dicted. First, the Wigan Gazette assured its readers that so far was Sir John Gerard from changing sides, that but a few weeks before he had been actually ask ing for Votes for the conservative members ; and that Mr. Scarisbrick was so far from taking offence at the language of the speakers alluded to, that he had but a few days before been giving land upon which to erect a Protestant Church ! Then, as regards Mr. Trafford, the Manchester courier of last Saturday says, " we are authorised and desired by him to give the most direct contradiction. to the paragraph." In fact, the whole story is a " weak invention." Those who made it gave it to the world trusting to accident for some plan sible•means of hacking out, or hoping that, like thou sands of other inventions, it would be allowed to Cir culate without contradiction. Nothing indeed could be much more absurd than to impute to gentlemen of intelligence and knowledge of the world motives so improbable as those assigned for relinquishing the principles upon which they have hitherto acted. It must be evident to the gentlemen in question, what ever were their motives for uniting themselves, in the first instance, with the conservative party, that there has been nothing whatever in the conduct of its lead ers---whose proceedings alone can have a direct influ ence upon the interests of the Roman Catholics as a bodye---to constitute a just ground for the withdrawal of that confidence which they have felt they might justly repose in them. They must have seen, also, that though there are many individuals who, exasperated at the Marines in which O'Connell and others have abused the power which has been con erred upon them, have desired the repeal of the Emancipation Act, the wish of a vast majority of the Protestants of England,. is not to deny to Roman Catholics the rights and privileges to which they were admitted by the provisions of that statute, but only that those upon whom power is con ferred should be men who will rigidly observe the conditions upon which the removal of their disabilities was granted. What the Protestants now complain of is, that ministers have admitted into the councils of their Severeign men whose whole political career has been marked by the most bitter hostilities to the Pro testant Church and Protestant establishment of the country—Men-who, having - sworn they would " defend the settlement of property,- voted for the spoliation of the Churche - who having also sworn that they wou ld " never exercise any privilege to which they might become entitled to disturb or weaken the Protestant re ligion in the United Kingdom," added their weight to each successive blow that ministers struck at the Church in Ireland; and Who, as the most effectual me.eris of weakening the attachment of the people to the • established religion, are incessantly labouring to deprive the rising 'generation of that scriptural instruc tism which all Protestants believe to be the only true foundation of sound faith and good - morals. But this is not all, ministers are notoriously dependent upon the Irish Roman Catholic party for their places. For the small majority they can boast in the Ilouse.of Com mons, they are indebted to the avowed enemies of the - Protestant - Church, whose support was purchased in the first instance by " blows" against the Establish ment, and is preserved by schemes for . the weakening and " great discouragement" of Protestantism. Is it suprising that under such circumstances, provocations they may be called, the Protestant people of England view with jealousy and alarm the present position and increasing influence of the Roman Catholics'? In the House of Commons as at present constructed, it is evident, there is no security for the maintenance of the Protestant institutions of the country. Still more evident .. is it that in th e p resen t Mi n i stry t h ere i s no such - securitye On what, then, can the people rely but on their own resolute expression of opinion warning those to whom the destinies of the country are com mitted of the awful responsibility they will incur if, regardless of the indications abroad, they persist in the course of policyWhichhas provoked so general an ex pression of public indignation. We have already observed that it is not the wish of the people of England to deprive the Roman Catholics of - the benefits they - had a right to expect from the repeal of the penal law; all that they desire is security for the maintenance of their own Church ; and those Roman Catholic,gentl emenw h o accept of office with the honest p ur p ose of respecting the conditions upon which they were admitted to .power, will have no.reason to 'complain of the opposition or hostility of the en lightened Protestants of England.

".I. RUSSELL." RorunN OF THE LORD LIEUTENANT.—•-His Excellency. Viscount Ebrington, and suite, arrived at Kingstown, on Friday morning, from Bristol, in her Majesty's. packet Mer lin, Captain Townley, after a very short passage of nineteen hours.

Blackwood's Magazine. December, 1839. Blackwood closes the year most delectably. In the intro ductory article we have an elaborate essay on the works of the greatest ornament of the Spanish -drama—Don Pedro Calderon de la Berea. The translated extracts from the dramas of this Shakspeare of the Peninsula are extremely beautiful. The succeeding paper "On Agriculture," is, delightfully written, and abounds with genuine touches of fancy. " Lector on Lay Quibbling" is the quaint title of a very interesting essay on verbal equivocation in all its rami fications.. The admirable article on " Colonial Neglect and Foreign Propitiation," we have already transferred to our columns. It is a masterly exposition of the evils which have reselted from the commercial policy of the present govern. ment. The truths which it contains cannot be too extensively disseminated. The poem on " Queen Argenis" is evidently from the pen of a master spirit. The criticisms on " Mil ton" are truly original in their character, and well worth perusal. The review of the " Memoirs of Charles Ma thews" is a capital article. The essay on " The present position of the Church of Scotland" is chiefly interesting to the members of that church. " Dinner Real and Reputed" is highly humorous. The continuation of " Ten Thousand a Year" fully justifies our previous encomiums on this tale. Fraser's Magazine. December, 1839. Dublin University Magazine. December, 1839. Tait'B Edinburgh Magazine. December, 1839. Whenever Tait reviews a book, he gives us the very sum and substance of it, divested all extraneous matter, and sup plementary verbiage. - This is emphatically the case in the analysis of the " Memoirs of Harriot, Duchess of St. Albans," which we find in the present number. The nume rous extracts embodied in this notice are extremely interest ing. We partly agree with the writer in his estimate of the character of this extraordinary womon. Tlie paper on the " Ecclesiastical Courts "' will, no doubt, be perused with avidity by the 'disciples of the voluntary system. "The Re bel Chief —a Scene in the Wicklow Mountains, 1803 "is powerfully written. We cannot, however, agree with the morale of the talc. There is a vein of unalloyed-hilarity in the " Burchen Melodies." The music is is exceedingly ap propriate. It is hardly necessary for us to say that one of the first articles which attracted our notice in this number was " The Sketches of Life and Manners, from the Autobio graphy of an English Opium-Eater." This is an exquisite series of articles from a pen which never fails to afford the highest gratification. The Literary Notices and miscellane ous articles in Tait are, as usual, very ably compiled and judiciously selected. The Asiatic Journal and Monthly Register of Foreign India, China, and Australia. December, 1839. London : W. H. Allen and Co. It is many months since we have received a copy of this truly valuable repertory of oriental news and literature. The present number contains several articles of first-rate interest and importance. At the present crisis in the affairs of India, we are always glad of an opportunity. of consulting the " Re view of Eastern News" in the pages of the Asi'7tic. The essay on the " Women of Hindostan" is an exceedingly well-written article, affording a complete insight into the cha racters of that numerous class of our fellow-subjects. The review of Duff's " India and Indian Missions" is very tem perately written. Under the title of " Awakings," we have some very pleasing specimens of poetry. We have been highly delighted with the curious article on the " Manners and Customs of tke Japanese." The translations of the " Thousand and One Nights" are highly characteristic. The report on the " Assam Tea" is a very important docu ment, especially at the present conjuncture, when our rela tions with China are in such a doubtful position. The mass of miscellaneous intelligence in the .Asiatic Journal renders it one of the most interesting periodicals that falls under our notice. The New Monthly Belle Assemble - e. December, 1839. This agreeable melange is always welcome. Its decorations are, of course, chiefly useful to " the ladies ;" but its literary contents afford a treat of no ordinary character to both sexes. Those who are fond of poetry, especially of amatory lays, will find much to admire in the pages of this entertaining miscel lany. The tales in this number are both numerous and ex cellent. " The Young Painter" is full of genuine pathos. " The Discovery of the Manuscript" will amply gratify those who have a taste for the marvellous in fiction. " The Lily of Everleigh" is fraught with tenderness and true affection. Among the most conspicuous of the remaining tales we may enumerate " The Blind Maniac"—" The Fashionable De linquents"—" The Dressmakers' Apprentice"—" Reginald Fortesque"—" The Old Maid"—" The Death of the First Born"—" Margaret Grenville"—and the "Young Soldier." This brief enumeration will suffice to show the immense va riety in the contents of this excellent magazine. The Farmer's Magazine. December, 1839. This is one of the most valuable of the periodical publica tions of the day, relating as it does, in so pre-eminent a degree, to the developement of our national resources. The mass of useful intelligence comprehended within the limits of this magazine is truly astonishing, especially when we consider its very moderate price. No British farmer should be without this excellent guide and instructor. But it is not .to the farmer alone that this journal is useful. It will be found replete with information of the greatest importance to the statesman, the political economist, the natural philoso pher, the chemist, and the student of anatomy ; whilst its artistical illustrations must attract the attention of all who have any taste for the rine arts. The present number con tains many very valuable articles ; among the chief of which we would enumerate the papers on " The Pure and Improved Varieties of Wheat lately introduced into England" —on " Rearing and Feeding Sheep" —on " The Application of Artifieial.Manure"—on ",The - fletectiOn of Pregnancy in the Mare and Cow"—on " The Extravasation of Sap iind . Honey dew"—on " The Corn Laws"—and on "Subs Oil Ploughing." The Sparkman. December, 1839. Of •" moving accidents by flood and field !' we have in this magazine an abundant record. The present is a capital num ' ber. Its decorative plates are of a very superior order. The first is a portrait of " Cruiskeen, winner of the Caesarewitch Stakes." The second is a capital representation of " Wild Fowl Shooting by Moonlight, in the Southampton Water." The literary and miscellaneous contents of the number before us are also highly attractive. The descriptive accounts of the plates are well worth a careful perusal. The account of " Howth Park Meeting" is highly valuable. Morgan Rattler is a comical dog. " A Day's Bird Shooting in Surrey" is an exciting narrative. " Pete Featherton ; or, Deer Shooting on the Ohio," is the best article in the number. " The Trout, and how to catch him" has been brought to a conca , sion. It closes with some very valuable hints on bait fishing. The article on " Boar-Shooting" - is a very spirited affair. " Horse Racing in Belgium" contains much that is novel as well as interesting. The miscellaneous intelligence respect ing sporting affairs in general is copious and interesting. Socialism; in its Moral Tendencies, compared with Chris. tianity. By John Eustace Giles. London : Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. 1839. This admirable publication is the second of three lectures on the abominations of socialism, delivered by the author at Leeds. We have already bestowed our hearty commenda tions on the first of these lectures. The present will be found a still more formidable exposure of the system pro pounded by Mr. Owen and his disciples. Mr. Giles deserves the thanks of the community for his eloquent efforts in de fence of the tr ith of Christianity. It is impossible to rise from the perusal .of this pamphlet without a feeling of =ut terable disgust at the filthy insinuations and the obscene language contained in Mr. Owen's books. Mr. Giles has This is an admirable number. Indeed, we might almost stereotype this expression, to prefix to every notice we be stow upon Fraser; for when is he not admirable? Dr. Maginn has displayed his usual amount of learning in the continuation of his remarks on " Dr. Farmer's Essay on the Learning of Shakspeare." The modern Doctor is more than a match for his predecessor. "My Irish Tutorship" is a capital tale, but rather too diffuse. We must not omit, however, to condemn its indecent sneers at the " Evangeli cals." We suspect the author to be a Puseyite, and " some thing more." The lines on " Affection" are beautiful. The essay on " The French School of Painting," with its appro- priate anecdotes, illustrations, and philosophical disquisi- tions, is pleasingly written. There is much truth in the " Thoughts on the Connection of Crime and PuniShment." The subject is one which is entitled to the consideration of every lovei of his country. The humour ous " Chapter about Boutiques and. Gin-Palaces,'.',. applies to Liverpool almost as much as it does to the Metropolis. We have enjoyed a hearty laugh While perusing " The Great Cossack Epic of Demetrius Rigmarolovicz.." The reviews of " Csesar Otway's Tour in Connaught," and "A Budget of 'Bards," are highly interesting. This number opens with a very able review of " Lord Brougham's Letter on National Education," which we strongly recommend to the perusal of our readers. It de serves to be republished in a separate form—a feature which we should like to witness in reference to several articles in the Dabtin University Magazine. The " Portrait Gallery " for this month contains a well eiecuted likeness of George Petrie, author of " An Essay on the Round Towers of Ireland," accompanied by a vividly written biographical sketch. " The Last Heir of Ferney " is a legendary tale of considerable powei, and full of exciting incident. The review of " Physic and Physicians" contains a very full analysis of that extra ordinary work. The continuation of " Harry Lorrequer's " confessions is laughable in the highest degree. There are some very curious statistical details in the article on " Pawn broking in Ireland." Might_ not the system of the Monts de Piite be tried in England ? The " Recollections of a Portrait Pairiter" are very interesting this month. The spe cimens of poetry in the '" Anthologia Gerrnanica " are truly terrific. We scarcely knew whether to laugh or weep while reading the article on " A New Batch of Saints from the Vatican." The " Poets' Corner " is adorned by some very pleasing verses. most triumphantly proved the nttet depravity of the social system, and exhibited-its paralysing influence on public mo-, rality with unsparing fidelity. The extensive circulation of this lecture would effect much good and prevent much evil. We cordially recommend it to the notice of our readers. The Protestant Magazine. December, 1839. The excellent magazine is published under the direction of the Committee of the Protestant Association, and is especi ally directed to the defence of the Reformed Faith and to the exposure of Popish machinations and the refutation of Popish errors and superstitions. Its contents will be found particu larly useful to the Protestant operatives of Great Britain, whom it furnishes with a plentiful store of arguments against Popery. We wish it an extensive circulation. The Churchman. Enlarged Series. December, 1839. Landon : W. E. Painter. The present number contains several articles of great merit. The " History of the Cathedral of Winchester" will be interesting to the antiquarian. The notice on " Na tional Education " is very appropriate. s We cannot agree with the remarks on Mr. Cator's sermon before the Lord Mayor. We have derived much pleasure from the perusal of the " Vindication of the Church Establishment!' The author is evidently a master of his subject. The " Beautiful Charactei of his Child, by John Evelyn, Esq." is full of ten derness and pathos. The article on " The Pretensions of the Church of Rome " is highly valuable. The arguments which it contains are conclusive and satisfactory. The miscellane ous, ecclesiastical, and other contents of the Churchman render it a very valuable family magazine. The Village Chui-ehman. December, 1839. We cannot too strongly recommend this useful and unpre tending publication. Its contents are expressly adapted for the edification of the humble members of the Church of Eng land. It ought to find its way into every cottage in the land. The principles which it maintains are strictly orthodox and evangelical. The narratives and anecdotes with which it abounds render it a very delightful companion. The Christian Observer. December, 1839. The present number of this invaluable magazine is accom panied by a supplement, equal in size to that of the magazine. The contents are extremely interesting. The " Last Will of the Missionary Swartz " is a valuable document, The " Review of Dr. Wolff 's Journal " will be found a very im partial critique. The mass of religious correspondence, 'ads celaneous intelligence, &c., in this periodical, renders it one of the most attractive of the religious publications of the day. The New Statistical Account of Scotland. No. 24. Nov., 1839. Edinburgh : Blackwood. This part contains a history of part of the county of Edin burgh, and the conclusion of that of the county of Roxburgh, together with a beautiful map of the Orkney Islands. The parishes described in the county of Edinburgh are those of Liberton, Penicuick, Temple, Crichton, Newbattle, Ratio, Colinton, Kirkliston, Borthwick, Cranston, Heriot, and Corstorphine. The parishes described in Roxburgh, are those of Kirktowit, Hawick, Ednam, Cavers, Castletown, Morebattle and Mow, and Stitchell and Hume. It is unne cessary for us to add one word as to the general character of this truly national work. It is too well known and too highly prized to require the aid of our commendations. Confessions of Harry Lorrequer. No. 10. Dublin : W. Curry, Jun. and Co. We are truly sorry to see on the cover of this number an announcement of " Harry Lorrequer's Confessions, in one volume, octavo, nearly ready." • Surely our rollicking friend is not going to bring his adventures so speedily to a close. The number before us is eminently rich in its humour. The episodical narrative entitled "An Adventure in Canada" is highly amusing. " Lorrequer's Debut at Strasburg," is irresistibly comic. Those of our friends who are admirers of the very salutary maxim " Laugh and grow fat," will enjoy in the present number a treat, very rarely to be met with in these dull and monotonous times. We may safely predict that Harry Lorrequer's fame will be as enduring as that of any of the same school of Literature. On our Monetary Systera. By T. Joplin. London Ridgway. 1839. We have already given an extended extract from this essay, explanatory of the author's viewsu the subject of the cur rency. The pamphlet, which is candidly and dispassionately written, contains an elaborate inquiry into the causes by which the pressures in the money Market are produced, and developer a plan for their remedy, which the author alleges can be carried into immediate effect, -without any derange ment, and with the approbation of the banks, both private and public, by which the currency is issued. Mr. Joplin displays great ingenuity in his observations on this difficult question. We may hereafter have occasion to avail ourselves of some of the more prominent of his remarks. In the meantime we recommend our mercantile readers to bestow upon this essay a careful and attentive perusal. They will find in it much information of great value. The Law of Debtor and Creditor. By a Barrister. Lon don : Robert Tyas. This admirable compendium is the first of a series of legal hand-books, which are to be published at a very moderate price, and which will embrace, every subject of general in terest connected with our statute laws. This number is a very favourable specimen of the series. It contains a con cisely written and familiar statement of the laws and regula tions relating to contracts in general ; with the interests, rights, and remedies of the creditor, and the liabilities, in terests, and defence of the debtor, especially with reference to the recent act for abolishing arrest on mesize process. The author has divested the subject as much as possible of its technicalities, and conveyed, in plain and intelligible language a large fund of information on topics which concern almost every individual in the realm. No person engaged in busi ness should be without this very useful vade mecum. Its perusal will tend to prevent much litigation. The Australian Miscellany, and New Zealand Review. Nb. 3. December, 1839. London : Smith, Elder, and Co.; Liverpool : G. Philip, and Ross and Nightingale. The present number of this excellent miscellany of Aus tralian news contains several articles of great interest. " The Impressions of a Recent Emigrant to South Australia" indi cate a very candid disposition on the part of the writer. The article on " New Zealand" is very well written: The account of the " Great Dublin Meeting" on the Colonization of New Zealand, embodies a great deal of very valuable in formation. The miscellaneous selections in this periodical are made with much taste and judgment. It will be found eminently useful to those who may intend to emigrate to the southern hemisphere. The Illustrated Shakspere. Part 8. London : Tyas. This number of this splendid and unique edition of Shaks pere contains the conclusion of " Much ado about Nothing." The illustrations are undiminished in their attractions. The representations of Benedict, Beatrice, Dogberry, and Verges, are capitally executed. The notes appended to each play constitute a very valuable addition. Altogether, the work refl-,-,ets the highest degree of credit on the puhlisher, editor, and artist, and ought to be most extensively patronised. The Protestant Almanac for the Year of our Lord 1840. Liverpool Perris ; London : Baisler. Mr. Crisp, the compiler of this admirable compendium of Protestant information, has conferred a benefit upon his countrymen which, we feel persuaded, will be extensively ap preciated. The intelligence embodied in this almanac is of the highest possible interest and importance. The Chrono logical Tables which it contains are very carefully drawn up. Every Protestant in the realm ought to possess a copy of this specimen of the Liverpool press. We have seldom seen a work of the kind so neatly executed. Every operative ought to purchase it in order to decorate the walls of his cottage with so useful a memento. The Atmospheric Almanac, and Mariner's and Arricultar ist's Guide, for the Year 1840. By J. It. Hind. Lon . don: Hamilton, Adams, & Co. To those who wish to be thought weatherwise we may safely recommend this almanac. It contains predictions of the general features of the weather for almost every day in the ensuing year, together with speculations on its local cha racteristics ; and an account of the principal anticipated storms and gales of wind, on the coasts of England, and in the North Atlantic. The whole is said to be calculated on the theory of an universal electric action, induced through the agency of the sun and moon. On the author's theory we cannot offer any opinion. Should Lord Durham be hapeache(l! An Appeal to the Electors of the House of Commons ; with a New Preface on the Law of Impeachment. By a Freeholder. 2d Edi tion. London : Painter. This is a very spirited pamphlet. It deals plainly and ho nestly with the subject. The author is evidently one that is not disposed to mince matters. He grapples with every dif ficulty with a resolution to overcome it. We think that he has made out his case most satisfactorily, and we shall be surprised if Lord Durham escapes without a rigid parliamen tary inquiry into his conduct. The result of such an inves tigation would be, we feel convinced; any thing but pleasing to that strange compound of pride and meanness, aristocratic hauteur, and democratic profession. An Appeal to a Benevolent and Enlightened Public, on be half of the Shopkeepers' Assistants. By John Tomkins. Liverpool : Williner and Smith, 1839. This seasonable appeal to the public, on behalf of the shop keeper' assistants, deserves the attention of every one who has any regard for the happiness and improvement of his fellow creatures. Tnere is no class of persona that suffer a greater amount of physical oppression than the persons on whose behalf this appeal is made. We hope that this publi cation will succeed in drawing public attention to the subject on which it treats, and also in securing that degree of sym pathy which will result in the ameliorated condition :of the " sons of toil," whose case is so powerfully represented in its pages. The public are the real tyrants in this case, and the appeal is very properly addressed to them. Wilson's Historical, Traditionary, and Imaginative Tales of the Borders, and of Scotland. Part 66. Edinburgh : Sutherland. Of this admirable series of tales we have frequently had to express our favourable opinion. As the work proceeds our admiration is rather increased than diminished. The number before us contains several tales of great merit. The " Man of War's Man" possesses very great interest, as does also "The Foundling at Sea." The other tales are " Clara Douglas"—" A Sight from other Days"—" A Tale of Ven geance"—" The Assassin"—" The Three Brethren"—" The. Mistake Rectifier —and " Second Thoughts arc best :" all of which are well worth perusal. The Probe. A Review of New Publications of Art, &c. No. 15. London : Southgate. To the artist and the amateur this useful periodical must prove a very welcome companion. It is extremely well con ducted, and assumes a very independent tone in its critical remarks. The notices of works of art, in the various de partments of painting, sculpture, engraving, &c., which it contains, will be found exceedingly valuable. Its literary merits are of no ordinary character. COURT CIRCULAR. ing. The council broke up at half-pst two o'clock. 'WEDNESDAY.—Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, attended by the Countess of Sheffield (lady in waiting), the Hon. Miss Hudson (maid of honour in waiting(, and the Hon. Mr. Ashley (vice-chamberlain and treasurer), left Marlbo rough House with her suite in two carriages and four, at a quarter past two o'clock yesterday afternoon, on a visit to the Queen at Windsor Castle. The Princess Augusta took an airing 'yesterday in a car riage and four. _ The Marquis of Normanby .and Viscount Palmerston returned to town yesterday from a visit to her Majesty, at Windsor Castle. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER-TUESDAY EVENING; Little preliminary remark is recnireil this srcuing, beeanie the current - odds have continued much the same as last week ; indeed the peculiarly dull period of the winter has a marked effect upon all markets ; and, consequently, it cannct be con sidered strange if we have to report a succession of inanimate and lethargic meetings. The only horse for some days sup ported with anything like spirit was Lord. Albemarle's Janus for the Derby. Last night one gentleman held up for hint at 50 to 1 to a large sum-- 7 say to win about ti ye thousand pounds. This morning offers constituted the only . proceedings.

The undertaking was to perform in saddle, with a pony and mare, forty miles in two hours, and cattle to be changed but once. They were men well known in the sporting world who had undertaken this extraordinary task, and money had been laid out in very heavy Sousa, at five and six to four'on time, odds which increased as the day neared for the great effort. Sunbury Common, the scene of many a sporting victory, was the place selected, as presenting the hest piece of ground in England for such a task. Th e ma t c h came off o n Saturday last, three'miles out and in. The first performer was a clip ped pony of Mr. Watson's, a gentleman well known as a good judge. Vagabond is the name under which the pony is known, and, as tar as apparent breed goes, we should not think him likely, at first sight, to create any sensation ; about eight years old, and stands 14 hands high. The mare, a grey, was a tine creature, with the points of a racer, and standing I 5 hands high, and six years old. The pony had only been destined, in the first instance, to do 18 miles ' • but as heavy sums depended upon h er d o i ng eac h o f 1 8 , 19, and 20 miles within the hour, she was put to the full task. The umpires and time-keepers on each side having taken their stations, at a quarter to twelve the signal was given, and the ground hav ing been cleared of the large body of horsemen present, the start took place. We subjoin the time : THE PONY. First six miles. Second ditto ditto, Third ditto ditto., The two,miles.... 16 min. 30 sec. 18 .. 27 .. 19 .. 8 6 .. 40 60 45 THE If AIIE. The two miles.

Th e pony turned out a most audacious thing, a perfect " va gabond' to the backe rs o f t i me. She blowed hard at the twelfth mile ; and in the eighteenth, in the mind of the com petent judges, she had done all she knew, but went and per formed her two miles after this, as will be seen, in six mi nutes forty seconds, performing the twenty miles in one hour and forty-five seconds. The mare did not gain so much favour in the eyes of those present as her predecessor. She was found fault with in divers ways ; sonic thought her action too high, and that she was taking it too much out of herself in "the first six miles, but her speed was fine, and if ever a rider came up to the mark at each end, the gentleman who jockeyed did. As far as betting went on the ground, the odds were all one way, ." in favour of the horses," and 2 and 3 to 1 increased to 5 and 6 as the distance became shortened.

The market has been very quiet during the last few days, without change in prices of moment; but as there is a good choice of Cot ton offering, the advantage is in favour of buyers ; the sales yester day were 3,000 bales, and to-day 2,500 bales of all kinds to the Trade LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, DEC. 10. Since this day week, the imports of. Oats and Oatmeal, from Ire land—of foreign Wheat, from ports coastways, and of Flour, from the United States, have again been to a pretty large extent, and although the demand has not been very active, nor have the sales been very extensive, prices last quoted have been fully supported, and for good middling foreign Wheat for shipment to Ireland, and also for the finest qualities of Oats and Oatmeal, a little exceeded. Flour has experienced a more active demand. for consumption, and it has been easier to sell than to buy superfine qualities at our quotations; for other articles we note no alteration. The general quality of the new Irish Wheat and Flour does not improve, and it is very difficult to find purchasers for these articles on any reason able terms. Our country Corn markets of the past week have all beerivery steady at full prices, but in Manchester, we are still under sold by supplies from the east coast. There is no alteration i n th e d u ti es on G ra i n, f rom foreign ports since Friday last. The speculative demand for superfine sweet Flour, in bond, has continued at 30s 6d to 31s 6d, and it is now chiefly held at 325, in bond. - At this day's market there was only a moderate demand for every article in the trade ; some parcels of good middling qualities of foreign Wheat, and of fine Oats and Oatmeal, found sales at a trivial advance on last quotations, and some large. parcels of superfine sweet United States Flour, in bond, were sold at SBt ! per barrel, and in small quantities for export, at 325, but little or no alteration can be made in our general quotations, and the transactions were altogether to a very limited extent.
