Where Cecil held aloft the lamp all bright With Truth immortal's pure and haliow'd light ; Where, mighty through his Goa, his weapons were, Not idly smiting on the empty air; Where. (as in Jericho, in days of old, Fell to the ground its wa!ls, and each strong hold, When sounded long and loud the trumpet's blast,) Satan's holds in many a soul were cast The Gospel trmnpet came, sonorous, clear, Mild as on -ummer's eve is Zephyr's breath ; Sweet as a cherub's voice, yet " siron; as death Where Cecil stood, and to the " better land" Led many a pilgrim, Thou art cai!'d to stand. !eks for thee its prayer? Friend of my heart, what That of his honours Than may'st That, souls converted.—inournei God's blessing on thy labours m That me he heii cheered and blest ; joicin, see A Cecil's mantle fallen upon thee! FREDERICK PARRY, N OTICES The National Restoration of the Jews to Pales'ine re pugnant to the trord of God. London: Rivingtons ; - Li;erpool: Deighton and Laughton This is a slightly amplified reprint, now published in pamphlet form, of a speech delivered about a month since, and reported in our culuons at the time, by the Rev. W. W. Ewbank, at the anniversary meeting in this town of the Auxiliary Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews, when the Lord B shop of the diocese took the chair. Our readers have therefore had an opportunity of ju , lgini.r, how far the re7erend gentleman has supported the proposition which he labours most eloquently, and in a truly Christian spirit, to establish. This edition contains, however, many lengthy notes mid scriptural references, in further confirmation of the arguments advanced. 41n examination of some questions which recent events hare raised in connection with the Liverpool Auxiliary Society.hr Promoting Christianity among the Jews.

They are embar rus,ed. "The taxes remain the same nominally, but not really. The fund-holder receives more and more. "The funds keep up, for there is little profitable employ ment for capital. And the interest which they pay partakes in the augmented value of money. "A low rate of interest is consistent with a high exchange ab'e value of money." The contents of the volume, as our readers may re mark, embrace replies to most of the fallacious doctrines of the political economists ; and among other of such positions examined, we may enumerate, in addition to the chapters from which we have so freely extracted, the following :—" Free Trade would rover the earth with in dustry ;" " Protection confines it to particular spots ;" " Don't over govern ;" " Protected manufactures are sickly ; " " Protection would destroy external trade ;" "The Laws of Entail and Primogeniture; ' ' "Free Trade is good for Ireland ;" Higher wages will but increase population ;" " Absenteeism is no evil ;" " A return to Protective Policy will never be," &c., &c. BUY IN THE CHEAPEST MARKET (From Sophisms of Free Trade Examined.) A recommendation perfectly sound, provided every one is fully employed in producing the means of purchase. In that event, to buy in the cheapest market, though it should be a foreign one, is the manifest advantage of each individual and of the whole community. But suppose the foreign market for exports to be (as it always is) limited, so that the preparation of exports will not employ the whole community, the case is at once changed. To buy in a cheaper foreign market will still be the immediate interest of individuals, but it ceases to be the interest of the community as a whole. Suppose an agricultural and manufacturing nation to be in this condition as to its supply in wheat. It requir s an additional quantity of ten millions of quarters. It could easily grow them at home, but they would then cost 50s. per quarter, and could not be grown for less ; it can import them from abroad, and they will so cost only 40s. per quarter. To pay for the additional ten millions of quarters of foreign wheat, an additional foreign market ‘for manufactures to the amount of twenty millions sterl ing must be found. Suppose an additional foreign market for manufactures to the extent of ten millions only can be found. It is true that the exportation of the precious metals to pay the balance, though it may cause tearful distress for a time, cannot go on. It is l'ue the wheat will not be had for nothing. Theretore only half of the quantity will eventually be bad. Yet the price cannot rise above 405., so as to allow of the production of more native wheat, for as soon as a man can pay 40s. there is foreign wheat for him. Low prices, and real scarcity, ensue and coincide. There is the appearance of abundance without the reality. Masses of the population are unemployed and in want. But it is a question of figures. By not availing itselt of the power to produce these ten millions' worth of corn at home, the nation has lost the value of five millions of quarters of wheat. Reckoning this at the foreign price only, it has lost net income to the extent of ten millions. And it has moreover lost a market for its own productions to that amount. What gain is there to set off against this two millions ? At first it might appear that there is a gain of the dif ference between the 40s. a quarter and the 50s. a quarter on the other five million quarters. But by this supposition, the other five millions of quarters also might have been produced at home. Here, then, instead of a gain is a further loss of ten millions, minus the difference between 50s. and 405., which is equal to two millions and a half. The supposed gain turns out The nation lost seventeen millions and a half per mourn net income, and a market to the extent of ten 'nillions, by adopting the one policy instead of the other. Let us attempt further to illustrate the same truths, but in a somewhat. different manner, by the case of ma nufactured hoods. England to manufacture from English materials ~... .. loves to the amount of a million sterling a year. This million sterling does, as we have seen, two things. .., it affords net annual income to that amount, avail ----' / able (every farthing of it) for tne sup p or t o f th e popula .l we invite some of our yree Trade I tion. Second) '• • •—• .. . . , this million sterling creates a market to that amount for other English products. The whole mil lion is every year feeding, clothing, and lodging men, women, and children, and at the same time finding a market for cottons, woollens, hardware, corn, iron. timber, silk. When an industrious population are employed, they not only enrich the whole community to the extent to which they themselves are enriched, but by the market which_ ff their prosperity a,,rds to other industries. When _ _ Manchester is in full employment, what a market does Manchester itself afford, not only for other articles, but even for its own productions ! Now change the sur position. Suppose that French gloves can be imported cheaper by five per cent. than English gloves can be made. It is the immediate pecuni ary interest of all consumers to buy French gloves instead of English ones, and they will be bought accordingly. we will even suppose the French government to allow the French gloves to be bought by the very Fame English cottons, woollens, hardware, corn, iron, timber, and silk that bought the English gloves before; nay, we will go further, and admit the extravagant postulate, that all these English products could, in exchange for the French gloves, find as good a market in France as they formerly did in England. Now take the account. Let us see what individual glove-consumers have gained, and what the English nation have lost. Gloves have in the aggregate cost those who wear them less money than before by 5 per cent. on a million sterl ing, that is, by £50,000. Glove-consumers have gained by the change £50,000 in one year. But the nation has lost in the same year the million sterling which used to maintain Englishmen with their wives and children. Englishmen, as a body, have, by the change, lost a re venue of £950,000 a year. But this is only part of the mischief; for though their revenue, their sub.istence is gone, the English men, women, and children remain, and must be supported by But we have here given the free-traders the benefit of three suppositions, no one of which is true. We have conceded, first, that the French Government. would allow the tree import of as much English produce as would entirely pay for the gloves ; we have conceded, secondly, that all the English produce finds at once as ready and good a market as it did at home ; we have conceded, lastly, that there will be no exportation of the precious metals, depreciating prices, appreciating the currency, and augmenting the pressure not only of taxes and public burthans, but of all debts and private obligations. But if these concessions are not true, then in addition to a million a year lost as revenue, formerly supporting men, wamen, and children, you lose a market also for other productions to the extent of a million a year, and are subject to all those numerous evils that afflict industry, when there is a tendency to the export of the precious metals. Nor does the mischief stop here. Other commodities which have lost their market will to that extent cease to be produced. And by that cessation not only will the subsistence of the people to that extent disappear, but but other markets will be injured, and so the mischief will go on and be felt through every grade of society, and in every department of industry. If these views be correct, we mar expect to see coun tries where protection has existed, flourishing, and coun tries where it has not existed, stationary or retrograding. And that, as will presently be shewn, is exactly what we do behold. It will be said, that however ;t may be with particular nations, if all countries practised free trade, the world at !stye would be a gainer. But, first, that is not the question. The question is, must every nation be a gainer. Must WE, as you say we must NECESSARILY be gainers, should such an Utopia ever arrive. And, secondly, if it were the question whether the world at large would he a gainer by such a system, it must not be assumed that the true answer would be in the affir mative; some reasons, out of place here, will presently be adduced, tending to evince the true answer would be in the negative. But, laTstly, when the world at large agrees to practise universal free trade, it will be time enough to discuss what effect on the policy of this country would have. The dis cussion may be postponed without much inconvenience for two thousand years—i. e. till the year 3849. Then it will be said, If protection lie good for a coun try,—for the same reasons, it may be sometimes good for a county or a department. And suppose it should sometimes be so, as possibly it might :—The question is, what is for the advantage of a whole nation. There may be good reason for a govern ment insisting on a county or a department foregoing an advantage, for the sake of equal or greater benefits to other counties or departments of the same nation ; and vet no reason at all for a government insisting that its own people at large, should give up an advantage for the sake of foreign nations. Lastly, it is objected, that, according to these princi ples, England should grow wine in hothouses, though it would cost thirty times as much as foreign wine. Not at all. The moment the price of the domestic commodity exceeds by a certain proportion the price of the corresponding foreign one, the main reason for pro ducing at home ceases. Suppose even that wine could be produced in England at less than twice the price at which it could be imported, it might, on the principles above explained, be, under ordinary circumstances, for the advantage of England to buy, and not to grow it. ARITHMETIC. We have seen a gentleman, named Dishong, now in town, who casts up long colum ns o f figures, multiplies long lines, and divides them with the greatest correctness, apparently without looking at th em . Mr. Dishong states that he can teach his method in ten minutes.—Montreal Herald. A PERUVIAN THEATRE.—A wretched theatre offered an evening lounge, where saynites, or farces, were acted. There was a strong feeling against the English at this moment, and one representation called down t hunders of applause. The hero was a small Peruvian, in uniform, who kicked and cuffed a large giant fellow, intended to represent an Englishman. This was done to shouts of " Viva Peru ! viva Castilia !" and the accompaniment of soft music. The little fellow's air was sublime as be said . , looking at the audience, " Pardon me, I could not restrain myself,—l am a Peruvian"' The cause of excitement was changed very suddenly one evening by the cry of " An earthquake !" It was wonderful how the theatre was cleared, considering the size of the door.—Walpole 's Four Year., in the Pacific. NATURE AVENGED.—A long time ago, a German, of the name of Rapp, founded a colony at Harmony, in the State of Pennsylvania. The doctrine of celibacy was the main one, labour in common was the adjunct. They then moved to Owen's settlement, called New Har mony, on the Wabash, and finally to the present location, Economy. Their numbers have dwindled down to 300, and they present the singular spectacle of a population of old men and women without any children, the town is fast falling into decay, farm lots are let to strangers, for they are becoming unable to cultivate it themselves, and in a few years the colony will have disap peared. A part,/ of ladies visited the place not long since, taking with them their little children. This produced the greatest excitement. The Rappists rushed out to kiss the babies, and almost tore them from their ,mothers' arms. Here was a lesson full of meaning, and this law of nature, which they have violated, will triumph in the utter destruc tion of the community. erneral --.0.- The Mining Journal says that the mining operations of the kingdom at large are in full activity. On Monday the Royal British Bank commenced busi ness in London. On Tuesday Mr. George Hudson, M.P., was a purchaser of Consols to the amount of X 55,000. The man Massey, who lodged with the Mannings, has denied that he wrote the letter attributed to him in Man ning's confession. The collections at the metropolitan churches on the Thanksgiving-day amounted to £3,000,—a poor thank offering if that were all. In several little parishes among the poor lands of Surrey, there were forty or fifty unemployed able-bodied men out of a population of 300. The Rev. Baptist Noel is not going to Rome, as it is thought better that the deputation about Dr. Achilli should not be numerous. On the Thanksgiving Day there was not a single case of disorder or intemperance of any kind within the juris diction of the metropolitan police. Some labourers employed in digging in a field near Witham, Essex, have recently discovered some fine spe cimens of Roman tiles, and several urns and vases. Messrs. Sturge, in their monthly corn circular, incline to the opinion, that our low prices, and the advance of winter, will combine to diminish foreign importations. The Hall of Commerce. London, has been sold for £44,900. For the site alone, a few years since, £35,000 was paid. On Tuesday a fail of coals took place in a pit at Wood side, near Dudley, belonging to Mr. Cochrane, by which four men were so badly hurt that they died the same day. A destructive fire occurred at Inverness on Thursday. The Glenalbyn distillery, the property of the provost. was entirely destroyed, and damage done to the extent of £5OOO. The late Dr. Crowther, of Wakefield, has left nearly the whole of his property, amounting to about £40,000, to be applied, after the decease of his wife and niece, in building an Infirmary in Wakefield. For five days, last week, no less than 83,000 quarters of wheat were imported into the port of London alone, and a much larger quantity is known to be on its way from continental ports. At the Bingley railway station, the clerk transacts business during wet weather, with an umbrella over his head, to protect himself from the rain dropping through the roof. On Monday a surgeon of the Royal Navy, named Allen, committed su;cide on the South-W, stern Railway, by laying his neck on the rail and allowing an engine to pass over it. It is said that the discovery has been made in Lincoln that gotta percha can be used for large printing letters, and that impressions can be obtained nearly as clear as Eastcourt, near Wokingha - tri, Berks, the beautiful seat of Admiral Sir John Sinclair, Bart., has been purchased by John Walter, Esq., M.P. for Nottingham. The pro perty fetched nearly £60,000. A few days since a badger was found and taken beneath a large vat in a brewery - in the middle of the town of Cirencester, whither it is supposed to have strayed from the woods at Stratton or Baunton. The aldermanship in the corporation of York, filled by Mr. G. Hudson, was on Friday declared vacant, in conse quence of Mr. Hudson having been absent six months, and not being a re , ident of the city. The Morning Chronicle "Commissioner" finds that there are in London 28.577 needlewomen under 20 years of age, the average earnings of each of whom is fourpence farthing a day. They are nearly all prostitutes. _ _ On Sunday night, some thieves took advantage of the darkness to steal about fifty of the brass handles from the carriages on the line of the London and North-Western Company, at the station near Birmingham. RABBIT SHOOTING EXTII.AORDINAHY.—On Thursday weetc, the Hon. Lewis and George Grant, sons of the Right Hon. Lord Seafield. shot no less than 436 rahbits near Balmacaan, in Glen-U , ouhart.—Aberdeen Journal. On Sunday week, at Worksop railway station. Mr. John Hancock, timber merchant, aged 56. was run Over oy a train, and kilkd instantaneously. The unfortunate deceased had a son. aged 16, lying dead at the time. So splendid has been the crop of apples this year in Gloucestershire, that new cider can now be purchased at Longhope for 4d. a canon. A quantity was sold and de livered at Mitcheldtan, a few days since, at 4'd. per gallon ! George Hudson, Esq., M.P., paid a visit on Thursday to his constituents in the borough of Sunderland. Iu the clurse of his star, the hon. gentleman inspected the works at the docks, and attended a meeting of the board of directors. The Chester Courant says of agriculture in Wales, " It is curious that, wherever English is spoken, the farming is very superior, and has much progressed of late; whereas, in the Welsh parts, little improvement can be traced." The Bishop of Durham expresses decidedly his appro bation of the Ragged and Industrial School in Sunder land, readily accepts his nomination as patron, and de clares his intention of sending a donation for its encou ragement. Mr. Playfair's final plans for the contemplated National Gal!cry to be erected in Edinburgh, have been transmitted to the Lords of the Treasury. The design is said to be Grecian, and the site of the structure will be south-east of the R.,yal Institution. Ina letter to the Times, Miss Kelly, the celebrated actress, intimates that she is reduced to poverty, and that her theatrical property in Dean- street, on which she has expended £16,000, is about to be sold to meet a demand of £l6B for arrears of rent. It is said to be the intention of Government to discon tinue to keep up the deer in the Forest of Dean, the damage done by the animals, and the difficulty of preser ving them from poachers, being the cause assigned for coming to this determination. Last week we mentioned that Blenheim House had narrowly escaped being burned. This week we notice that Dalkeith House was exposed to the same danger, through the carelessness of some plumbers, who were using fire in one of the garrets. The London City Commissioners of Sewers met on Wednesday, when, after some discussion, Mr. Simon's late report on the sanitary condition of the city was refer red to a committee to report what practical measures could be adopted to carry out its suggestion. The result of an interview which latly took place be tween Mr. Rives, the United States minister to France, and Lord Palmerston, is said to leave little doubt of such an adjustment of the matter as will throw the Nicaragua route open t all nations on an equal footing. In Devonshire there are nine packs of foxhounds ; more than in any other English county, saving Yorkshire, in which there are ten. There are also 17 packs of otter hounds and harriers in Devonshire, while no other county in England maintains more than five. The Jewish Chronicle, as illustrative of the fertility of the Old Testament, points out that, in a list of thirty texts of sermons delivered in churches on the day of thanksgiving., three were from the New, and the rest from the Old Testament. The fact that Mr. Hawes' soap-boiling establishment, at Lambeth, is "to let," has drawn from the Daily News a most pathetic lamentation, almost as touching as a " yearly epistle," on the " sufferings " which the meek men of soap have to endure at the callous hands of ex cisemen. While a gentleman named Blakeley was taking down a gun, which was supposed to be unloaded, from some hooks in his brother's kitchen, at Loughton, Essex, on Friday week, the gun went off, from some unknown cause. and a charge of shot was lodged in the left side of a ser vant girl, who died in about twenty minutes afterwards. Mrs. Mary Howitt writes to the morning papers that an " audacious fraud" is now practising in her name. Letters are sent round to the nobility and others in Lon don, stating that she and her relations are in abject cir cumstances, and begging for pecuniary aid, nothing of the kind being true. It is feared that considerable sums have been raised by this gross trick. QUERY.—Is not sanitary reform a mere mockery as long as the houses of the middle and lower classes are, by the operation of the odious window tax, deprived of those precious gifts of God—light and air ? Is it not a mockery for the " Nuisances Act" to talk of " the ventilating of houses" while the window duty is unrepealed ?—North British Advertiser. The celebrated posting-house, the King's Head, at Northallerton, which has been an inn for nearly two cen turies, and is situated in the centre of the market-place, with a spacious assembly-room, and stabling for one hundred horses, is now being converted into a farm house, with upwards of 250 acres of land to it. So much for railways. _ _ _ INCENDIARISM.—Two large grain ricks, value £4OO, were destroyed on the premises of Mr. T. Jolliffe, an ex tensive farmer and dealer, at Long Ashton, near Bristol, on Saturday evening last. Mr. Jolliffe's house and farm buildings, which are close to the church, were saved with difficulty. A few days before Mr. Jolliffe had an out house destroyed in a similar way. _ _ _ HAY-MAKING EXTRAORDINARY.—We had imagined that the hay harvest in Derbyshire had been secured long ago; but it seems we were in error, for a correspondent assures us that on Monday last he saw from eight to ten acres of hay in cock, or, as it is locally termed, quoil, on a farm of 96 acres, in the occupation of Mr. Richard Housley, of Weston, near Tideswell.—Stockport Adver tiser. On Saturday week, at Louth, in Lincolnshire, five per sons met their death by the explosion of some railway signals that were making in the manufactory of Mr. Armitage, a chemist, who was the inventor of them ; Mr. Armitage himself, his father, and three assistants or ser vants. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of acciden dal death, but noticed that sufficient care had not been taken in the preparation of those detonating signals. SHOCKING SIIICIDE.—A wool dealer, named John Smith, residing at Charlton, committed suicide by hang ing himself to a bacon rack at his mother's house, a few minutes after he Lad spoken to her. He had been read ing newspaper shortly before, and paid particular atten tion to that which related to the Mannings, wondering what their feelings were on trial, and what they would be when they came to the scaffold.—Gloucestershire Chronicle. SHOCKING OccuRRENcE. 7 On Sunday. a hog pig, the property of Mr. John Boardman, Deptford, rubbed open the sty door and made its way into the parlour, where it attacked a male infant, about five months old, lying asleep in the cradle. The cries of the child alarmed Mrs. Boardman, who, with much difficulty, beat off the beast, which also bit her severely on the leg. The child was shockingly lacerated, the left foot being entirely gnawed off. It is not expected to survive. It is a fact well worth recording, with respect to the public art of thanksgiving, that during the week on one especial day of which nearly the entire nation knelt to acknowledge mercies that were hardly merited—during that week the rate of mortality, for London alone, was lower than it has been (luring the corresponding week of any year since registrations of death have been a portion of our law. We record, and have pleasure in recording, a simple fact, our authority for which is the report of the Registrar-General. The cases of harrowing distress depicted by the special Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, in the metro politan districts, (and now pu'rlishing alternately in that journal with articles on the manufacturing and agricul tural districts,) are exciting a considerable amount of sympathy, every article appearing with ktters appended from anonymous writers, and handing to the Correspond ent sums to be distributed by him for the relief of the destitute objects whose situations he is the means of lay ing before the public. How far cholera may be said to identify itself with sewerage, may be decided by facts. The deputy-registrar of the North Leeds district deposes as follows :—" The cholera pays no respect to sewerage. Those localities, as York-street and Marsh-lane, which have cost the town thousands of pounds in drainage, have been the scenes of its most malignant ravages; whilst in the adjoining dis trict, which lies nearly level with the river, and will scarcely admit of any sewerage, I have not beard of a single case of cholera." A mishap of a very serious kind occurred on Monday, connected with the operation of lowering the great hydraulic machine from the summit of the pier at Menai Straits. The capstan gang, nine or ten in number, seized with a panic, suffered themselves to be overpowered; and the consequence was most serious injury to two of the men—one being dreadfully bruised. about the head, the other having sustained compound fracture of the thigh. The tide being favourable, the poor fellows were taken in a boat to Caernarvon hospital. The press went to the bottom, and will have to be fished up again. On Wednesday a public meeting was held at Farring don Hall, King's Arms-yard, Snow-hill, " for the pur pose of adopting addresses of sympathy to the Citizen Ledru-Rollin and his compatriots, who have just been sentenced to transportation isor life for having attempted to save the Roman Republic from destruction, France from dishonour, and European freedom from the con spiracy of the enemies of human progression." Mr. Petty was in the chair. Mr. Harney, whose contest with Lord Palmerston for Tiverton will be remembered, Mr. O'Brien, and others of the Radicals were the chief speakers. Mr. Campling, the chief constable of Essex, has died from gun-shot wounds inflicted as he was entering his own house at Saffron Walden. On the night of the 31st October. Mr. Campling was parting from a friend, and had turned to the street door, when a gun was discharged from the opposite side of the road, and many shots entered his legs. The assassin was not discovered at the time. Mr. Campling had suffered such a shock from the wounds that amputation could not be resorted to, and he survived only a few days. A man, named Benjamin Pettit, has been arrested on suspicion. The Rev. Mr. Rowe, chaplain of the Horsemonger lane Gaol, has written a letter to exculpate himself from the charge of giving the communion to Mrs. Manning. It was at her own earnest desire, which he discouraged. and only yielded after insisting wish great plainness of speech on every portion of the exhortations in the com munion service. He adds that the female prisoner always showed herself anxious to receive spiritual instruction, and did net admit. that she held the opinions ascribed to her by her husband. He therefore thought he could only warn her solemnly of an act which might be an aggrava tion of guilt and judgment to the communicant. The Leeds Mercury says that considerable excitement has occurred at Ackworth, in consequence of the Rev. Mr. Kenworthy refusing to allow the corpse of a young lady, the daughter of J. Gully, E , q., of Ackworth park, to be carried into the church because she was a Roman Catholic. A former branch of the iamily lay buried in the churchyard, hut. in consequence of the refusal, Ack worth-park being contiguous to the churchyard, a spot was selected as near as possible to the place where the other members of the family had been buried ; and this being by a Roman Catholic clergyman set apart as a place of sepulture, the remains of Miss Gully were deposited there on Thursday morning last, according to the rites of the church in whose faith she died. THE " TIMES" CHARGED WITH BRIBERY.—The fol lowing paragraph has appeared in the lithographic Consti lution.elle Correspondency, a Bolin paper:—" We are constrained to reiterate it again, that precisely on ties Danish question the judgment of The Times carnet he acknowledged to be an independent ore, so long as tle:t journal does not contradict the fact which has ben pub licly advanced against it, that in the month of September, 1845, it received £5,000 sterling of Danish money to defend the cause of Denmark in its columns." The Times, which devotes a column to the answering of this " slander," says :—" If a contradiction he all that is needed to crush this fresh experiment on German credulity, vreaccept this challenge, and we give it that contradiction in the most unqualified terms. The statement is a complete and unmi tigated lie." At the Bishop Auckland Police Court, recently, John Davis, stating himself to have been up to a short period attached to Batty's Equestrian Company, but now out of employment, was charged by police constable Craggs with imposing upon her Majesty's liege subjects at Willington, on the previous day, by exhibiting a figure termed a " Mermaid" for the small charge of one penny." On examination, the head consisted of a turnip, apparently fresh pulled, and the body stuffed with cotton rats, and the whole covered with a skin, with a most hideous look ing face. The bench proposed that the "curiosity" should be burnt, to which John very coolly consented, in case they were convinced on dissection that it really was not a mermaid ! The bench ordered him to be committed to the house of correction for fourteen days. PERVERSIONS TO POPERY.—The Tablet states that the two Misses Bathurst, grand-daughters of the late Dr. Bathurst, Bishop of Norwich, were " received into the Catholic Church" a few days since. The same paper, in giving an account of the confirmation of eight perverts at the Chapel of the Oratorian Fathers in King William street, asserts that conversions are constantly taking place both there and in other quarters, "which, from various motives, it is not judged expedient to publish." The few (it is added) which from time to time are made public in the columns of the Tablet " are very far indeed from fur nishing an index to the real advances mrde by the Catho lic faith at the present epoch, both in the metropolis and in the provinces, especially in the upper classes. Among those who were confirmed at the Oratory, one was a bar rister of Lincoln's Inn, and another a barrister of the Temple." A JACK OF ALL TRADES.—WeIIs is not much renowned in history as being the birth-place of eminent men. There is, however, at the present time residing amongst us an individual, who, though he cannot be exactly denominated a man of genius, is nevertheless a master of almost all sorts of trades and professions. He is sexton, gravedigger, and bell-ringer ; house painter, colour maker, paper hanger, and stenciller; p'ofessor of music, repairer of clocks, watches, timepieces, musical boxes, and weather glasses; besides maker of umbrellas, parasols, violins, and drums; in addition to this he is an excellent gardener, and noted for his success in raising early crops in the park gardens. He has also a son almost as clever as himself. having served no less than three apprenticeships to different trades; and is, consequently, aiboot and shoe maker, car penter, and cabinet maker, besides an excellent musician and teacher of music.—Bath Journal. A. SLEEPING PARTNER.—A man named Welch, lately residing at Totnes, in the employ of Mr. Fowler, _railway contractor, hasbeen robbed of £l7O by aningenious device. The thief, thinking Welch had money, and kno wing in what employ he had been, told him he had taken a large railway contract, and wanted a partner who could advance £2OO or £3OO. Welch, before parting with any money, thought it advisable to see what the contract was, and took away with him 170 sovereigns. On arriving at the intended spot they slept together twice, and on the second morning Welch missed his partner, and has not since heard of him. Welch happened to have a return ticket, and so returned home, but did not miss the money for three days. His wife then thinking he might have spent too much money, re- quested him to count his money over, when, to the great surprise of both, the purse contained nothing but halfpence and farthings, the sovereigns having been exchanged for the baser coin.—London paper . REDUCTION OF THE RATE OF INTEREST.—Ou Thurs day the directors of the Bank of England reduced the rate of interest from 2 to 24- per cent. The former rate had remained without variation for upwards of a year, the change having been made on the 2nd of November, 1848. At that time the bullion on hand amounted to little more than thirteen millions. Now it amounts to above sixteen millions, with every prospect of a further increase. The reduction of the rate of interest by the bank is therefore in this case rather a necessity than an act of policy. The bill brokers in Lombard-street and the London banks generally underbid the bank, and there is at present little fear of speculation. It is stated that advances have been made during the past month, on the best paper, as low as 11 per cent.: and that 2 per cent. has been the general rate of discounts. This is having money cheap enough; but a city reporter reminds us that in the first half of 1844, when the bullion in the bank was only about its present amount, advances were made by the London bankers at 11 per cent. CURIOUS PUNISIIMENT FOR CONJUGAL INFIDELITY. — On Friday week the inhabitants of Barnardcastle, Durham, were amused by the town cryet proclaiming the following :—" Mr. John Kay is going to burn Mrs. Kay's clothes upon the Demesnes Hill, and he invites Mr. Hopper to the fire which is now kindling." The crrar commenced at Mr. Hopper's door, and it being the dinner hour, he was followed by a large concourse of people. They proceeded to the Demesnes, a field near the town, upon a bill, a very large fire of straw and wood was made by Mr. Kay, (who is an innkeeper in the town,) upon the top of which he laid all the valuable wearing apparel and articles of his wife, which consisted of satin and silk dresses, including nearly the whole of her bridal garments, muslin dresses, shawls, victorines, bonnets, veils, caps, artificials, parasols, a pair of beautiful stays, stockings, brooches, rings, a fine silk cloak, a quantity of bed linen, workboxes, a quantity of baby linen, a pin-cushion with the inscrip. tion "welcome little stranger" upon it, and a great many more clothes of all descriptions. These clothes were con sidered to be worth at least £2O. It is supposed that Mr. Kay's reason for doing this, was conjugal infidelity on the part of his wife. In the evening of the same day a large crowd paraded the town with an effigy which was burnt in front of Mr. Hopper's house in Gallgate.street, ESCAPE or Two Luialt(4ll.—On Tuesday, two females viefe bbser+ed rambling shod Cross-square, Wakefield, having cloaks thrown over their heads, and appearing in an excited and curious state. It was soon discovered that they had escaped from the lunatic establishment by get ting upon an outbuilding, from thence on to the outer wall, and then dropping outside into the fields. The height they had fallen was considerable, but they did not appear to have suffered any injury. A RAT RUNNING OFF WITH A LIGHTED CANDLE.—A. few even.ngs since as some workmen were engaged form ing a sewer beneath the provision warehouse of Mr. Bri erley. Huddersfield, they were visited by a nimble footed thief in the form of a rat. After seeking in vain for something toothsome, the rat was attracted by a lighted candle stuck in the ground, and most conveniently placed. After a number of circumambulations the rat seized the lighted candle, and at once plunged with it into the depths of the sewer, leaving the workmen in total darkness. The works were for some time suspended.—Halifax Guardian. THE TRIAL BY LOT AT LEEDS.—Mies Leggatt, the young female tried at the last Leeds Borough Sessions on a charge of stealing a violin, and sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment, was on Thursday last liberated from the Borough House of Correction by order of Sir George Grey. It will be remembered, that after spending several hours in fruitless discussion, the jury agreed to decide the ver. diet by lot, and two pieces of a quill pen of unequal lengths were deposited in a hat, the long one to denote the innocence, and the short one the guilt of the prisoner; that the short piece happening to be drawn first, the 12 good men and true at once returned into court a verdict of euilty. TAMPERING WITH A PARISH 13.EGISTER.—At the Ipswich Town Hall, on Monday, Mr. James Boag, who holds a respectable situation in the Bank of England, was charged with having altered the' register of a marriage between John Fearner and Susannah Burnby. It ap peared from the evidence of the daughter of the church clerk of St. Rumwald's, that in the absence of her father she accompanied the defendant, who wished particularly to examine the register, to the church, that she observed him examining the book with the left side up, his right hand upon it, and his head down, when he suddenly called her attention to an erasure; she looked at the book, saying there was no erasure before, and that what he referred to looked more like a dirty finger mark upon the name Burnby ; she was called away, and left the defendant with the book for a short time, and on her return put it away in the chest. Having examined it in the evening, she saw a mark between the " n " and the " b," seem ingly changing the name into Burroby. There were pens and ink on the table while defendant was in the vestry : at first the cover of the inkstand was down,—when she returned, after her short absence, it was up. Other evi dence having been brought forward to show that the register had been altered, the Mayor reminded the de fendant for a week, but would accept bail for his appear ance, which was procured by him.—lpswich Express. SELF-SUPPORTING VILLAGE.—There is in circulation a transreirent painting of a self-supporting village now in contemplation. The idea was first suggested by a gentle man of the name of Morgan, who has spent some years in endeavouring to make known the project. Several pub lic meetings have been held in London and elsewhere, and Mr. Morgan's exertions have been at various times warmly seconded by the late Bishop of Norwich, Lord John Man ners, and a number of other distin g uished i n dividu a ls. The following is an outline of the project :—" It is pro posed to form, in the centre of an adequate extent of land, (not less than one thousand acres.) atrangemEnts, in con nexion with the uhurch of England, in which, under effi cient direction, three hundred families may be enabled, by the produce of their own labour, not only to support themselves, but to defray the expenses of the establish ment. In these expenses would be included the interest of capital advanced. The chief employment of the con gregated body would be agriculture, combined, at the dis cretion of the committee of management, with handicraft and mechanical pursuits. It is in contemplation to take the land required on a long h ase, for 30. 40, or 50 years, the more considerable portion of it uncultivated, reserving the power of purchasing within 20 years, upon the rental agreed on, at a sum not exceeding 25 years' purchase. The cost of the institution may he estimated at £45,800* To the said outlay of £45.800, add for food and clothing for the first year £14,200, thus making the total capital required £60,000, which amount it is proposed to raise in shares of £2O each, and by loans and donations." An estimate of returns shows a balance of £4,171 129. a-year in favour of the proposed community. __ _ _ WRECK. OF THE SHIP L'Etraoes.—The underwriters at Lloyd's re-eived, on Tuesday, the following particulars, announcing the deplorable loss of the barque L'Europe, of Havre, with the whole of the crew (except the second mat and passengers, on the Hand of Guernsey L'Europe was a vessel of nearly 400 tons burthen, and was bound to the above-T.' entioned port (Havre) from Sague la Grande, Cuba. She sailed on the 4th of Octo ber, and had a prosperous voyage 11;1 the morning of Thursday last, having safely passed the• Lizard on the pre vious day with a fair wind from northwest, At two o'clock, when it was blowing a gale from the northward, accom panied by heavy showers of rain and hail, the master, reckoning that he had passed the Caskets, shaped his course for Barfleur Lighthonse, but in an hour afterwards land was seen on the larboard how, and immediately rocks perceived close at hand. An attempt was made to put tl e ve,sel about. but she missed stays, and in wearing ship much ground was lost. Two tacks were made to avoid the imminent danger, and the best. bower anchor was then let go very close to some rocks in proximity with the. shore. The anchor, however, did not hold, and finally, about half-past five o'clock, the vessel was driven broadside on against a dangerous ridge of rocks a short distance below Hornet d'Albec, to the eastward of Vaeon Bay, and shortly afterwards went to pieces. The second mate was the only one of the crew who gained the shore ; all the rest perished, and a lady passenger and her two children. The bodies of the latter have been washed asho e. with two of the crew, and decently buried. Not a particle of her cargo was saved. The loss of the vessel and cargo is estimated at £8,500. The Guernsey Cornet states that the name of the lady passenger was Madame Dujardin. from Ghent, in Belgium, and the names of her children are Henry, aged about five, and Henrietta, three years. L'Europe wre commanded by Captain Meheut, and she had a crew ot nine men and a boy. SOCIETY FOR IMPROVING THE DWELLINGS OF THE LABOURING CLASSES.—The letter of the Bishop of Lon don recommending contributions to this society's funds has been productive of good to an extent never anticipated by the society's friends. Up to Wednesday the amount received in subscriptions was £669 4s. 9d., and the contri butior s from the different churches had reached the sum of £1193 133. The society are on the eve of com pleting a large building for the reception of a number of families in the crowded locality between Oxford-street and Russell street. This building is erected upon a new model so as to accommodate the greatest possible number, the arrangements being such as to consist with health and .- space. The building, which will be opened in March next, will consist of a number of separate rooms or tene ments. Each tenement will contain a common room, 1541. 6in. by 10ft. 2 in. ;:a bedroom, 12 ft. Gin. by aft. 2in. ; a second bedroom, 10 ft. by Lift. 6in. ; a large lobby, a scullery, dust bin, safe, sink, water-closet, and store closet ; also proper means of ventilation, and an open gallery, sft. in width, in frpt. Each tenement being a separate dwelling, containing less than seven windows, will be exempt from window tax. The entire cost of the building, when completed, will be £7270, and a further outlay of less than 1 per cent. on that amount will render the place fire-proof, and prevent all communication by sound and all percolation of water from floor to: floor. The basement story, which is excavated, will contain a range of will-lighted and ventilated workshops, and a wash-house and bath-room for the common use of the residents will also be provided. It is expected that the income derived from the tenements in this building will yield a proper remuneration on the outlay. All surplus returns will, after the gradual repayment of the capital borrowed, be devoted to the furtherance of the olkii2cts of the society. The ascent to the tenements on the different stories will be accomplished by a common open staircase leading to galleries on the different stories, the doors from the galleries opening into the lobbies. The society has already expended 17.000 in its useful operations in. erect ing these model buildings in various localities, and the model dwelling-house above described will, when com plete, form one of the most perfect and commodious, and at the same time one of the cheapest, ever erected. THE SPLIT AMONG THE WESLEYANS.—The persons now attacked by Messrs. Dunn, Everett, and Griffith, in the aggregate as the Conference, are the great bulk of the Wesleyan ministers who are seen spread throughout the country. Now, which is likely to be right or wrong ? Is it likely that the 570 members of Conference, includ ing the most eminent and pious men in the connection, have been guilty of deceit, hypocrisy, iniquity, and other dark vices which have been attributed to them in this controversy ; or is it likely that these three men are martyrs ? The latter make a great point of the fact that they are only three against several hundreds ; but this is rather a proof that they are wrong—unless, indeed, Wes leyanism is rotten at the core. And such is the proposi tion by which the expelled members defend themselves. " Methodism as it is, says Mr. Everett, "is distin guished for its cash accounts ;" but if this be true, we wonder that they complain so bitterly of their expulsion —that is, if they love religion better than the world. Either they calumniate the body in which they have been content to remain until expelled, by calling it " an artifi cial flower—a mere thing to look at—its ministers mere accountants"—and its great men hypocrites and workers of iniquity, or else their present movement to regain their lost position in its ra n ks i s i ncons i s t en t an d incomprehensible. The expelled ministers stand self condemned by the manner in which they try to make out their case. Their language, which we have seldom known rivalled in coarseness, is more fitted for the Chartist plat form than the lips of men who have heretofore filled pulpits. Take, as a specimen, the following choice extract from the speech of Mr. Everett. He is referring to Mr. Box, a Wesleyan minister, who attended the meeting to take the part of the Conference :—" A Methodist minis ter" (said Mr. Everett) " was preaching in the pulpit, when a certain animal was at the door of the chapel, and began to bray : the preacher very significantly observed, : One at a time, neddy'.—(Laughter) Now, he thought, it was his turn. If the box is full, empty it out and shut the cover.' He then adverted to the sorry' Watch man, a Wesleyan newspaper, whose last dying speech and confession would be soon heard. Mr. Box here shook his head, which Mr. Everett perceiving, said ' You may shake your head, Mr. Box, but there is nothing in it ; one at a time, neddy l I will sweat thee before I have done. If this is Bath, it shall be a Bath for thee." We rather think that John Wesley would have been anxious to make short work of his connection with a " minister" capable of talking in this strain. We may add that Wesley would have submitted, for the sake of religion, to his brethren ; he would have repudiated the suspicion of being a secret assailant; he would not have stickled about the forms of his trial ; and he would have boldly told the truth, in whatever position he might thereby have placed himself.— Bath Chronicle. each of the two lam: r to the Jews' Society. sms of Free Soph Examined Pro t ecti publ cand sour scrace than by eircu and ably-written w•o they are pithily expr uses statistics so in a style which it is refreshing to ]fishing his statements, be d politkal econot witn We ciute in ether mlumn ti: of the chapter! contemporaries to positions there nviintaii foeroan worthy of their whole of one one or two further quotations, taken almost at random.

"That it now, unfortunately. no longer matter of but of actual experience. "The Act operated for the first time in the autumn of 1847. And it is not too much to say that such commercial distress and ruin was never seen in England before. How far further it might have proceeded, if government had not been com pelled to announce their interference, no man can predict. "Nor let it b.. pretended that the mischief was in the crisis itself, and not in the law. The first answer is, that as soon as it was announced that the Act would be suspended, the mischief abated, and if government had adopted that course earlier, many a merchant-prince now ruined, might have been saved. Next, the most opposite authorities agree in attributing the mischief to the Act of Parliament, and to that alone. Lord Ashburton declared that the importations, large as they ne cessarily were, were not more than, under a wiser manage ment of the currency, the country could have easily borne. Mr. Mill says, The crisis of 1847 was of that sort, which the provisions of the Act had not the smallest tendency to avert, and when the crisis came, the mercantile difficulties were pro bably doubled by its existence.' "And why was the industry of the country subjected to this horrible torture; That an adverse balance of trade might be ,corrected by the natural flow of the precious metals. That a theory might be carried out. In vain did men, grown gray in business, remonstrate against the measure three years before. It was carried in contemptuous defiance of their warnings. " Which is the hest, the old method of prevention of an ad verse balance, or the new method of cure? "We shall see what other measure of cure will be tried next. unfortunately. no longer matter of prophecy "In the meantime we are preparing for a renewal of the crisis. The imports now greatly and permanently exceed the exports. A nation that intends to secure an adverse balance, to be paid at some time or ~ther, ought to tax its exports, and let its imports come in free. This is exactly what we now do by our one-sided free trade, with this disadvantage, that instead of taking the tax ourselves, we give it to the foreigner. We take the disadvantage of the adverse balance; he takes the revenue. "At present, owing to the troubles that have recently afflicted Europe, an enormous influx of moveable capital from all parts of the continent, seeking a secure, but temporary investment in this country, has at once postponed the day of reckoning and accumulated the arrears. As before, men of experience warn, but the warning is not only unheeded, but ridiculed. 'lf you will not hear reason,' says Dr. Franklin, 'she will surely rap your knuck es.' Let peace and order be once permanently restored abroad, let our absentees return to their usual haunts, and property go back to its usual investments, and the balance, the tribute, will be demanded. The universal distress accompanying the re yet and probably at no distant da tobe witnessed. Payronrt is let us flatter ourselves that the value will • necessarily return again of itself, and that we shall suffer no permanent impoverishment. "Few subjects are so intricate as the distribution of the precious metals among the countries of the world. Many considerations are overlooked by those who prophecy that the evil will work its own cure. David Hume says that a progressive increase in the quantity of the precious metals, and their declining value in any country, is favourable to a progressive increase of industry. And no doubt that is so. A stream therefore, of the precious metals poured into a coun try, produces effects exactly the converse of the effects which its direliction produces in the country which it is leaving. This fertilizing stream, in the country to which it goes, stimu lates industry,, multiplies transactions, creates its own demand, and contracts its tendency to return. Our industry is cripplee, our neighbour's is augmented ; we permanently need the bul lion less, he permanently needs it more. " But in the mean time what is already at this moment going on? _ . "Money is rising in value. Property of all kinds,. except money, is declining in money value—in price. Shares in rail ways and other undertakings ; corn, manufactured goods, and colonial produce, have sunk, or are sinking in price. Industry languishes. TUB taiRPOOL STANDARD. Nov 21.
