EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIMENT, An experiment was tried on Saturday afternoon, of one of those inventions of whose marvellous destructive powers so much was said last autumn. The trial took place in the grounds of Mr. Boyd, in the county of Essex, a few miles from town, in the presence of Sir Robert Peel, Sir George Murray, Sir Henry Hardinge, Sir Francis Burdett, Lord Ingestrie, Colonel Gurwood, Captain Britten, Captain Web ster, and some other gentlemen, who all appeared very much astonished at what they saw. A boat 23 feet lour and I broad was placed in a large sheet of water; the boat had been the day before filled in with solid timber, four-and-a-half feet in depth, crossed in every direction, and clamped toge ther with eight inch spike nails. When the different parties had. taken up their positions, on a signal from the inventor, the boat was set in motion, and struck just abaft her star board bow, and instantaneously scattered into a thousand fragtnents. At the moment of collision the water parted, and presented to the eye the appearance of a huge bowl, while upon its troubled surface he noticed a coruscation precisely resembling forked lightning. A column of water was lifted up in the air like a huge fountain, from which were nroiected upwards for many hu'ndred feet the shatiJeFirag t. me j ntsof the vessel, which fell many of them several hundred yards' distance in the adjacent fields. Our informant (says the Times) examined many pieces, and found the huge nails snapped like carrots ; the mast looked like a tree riven by lightning, and never before, as he assures us. has he wit- nessed so sudden and complete a destruction, though he has seen shell and rocket practice on the largest scale. Such seemed to be the unanimous opinion of all present. How this mighty effect was produced was of course not disclosed to SQ numerous a party, but two naval officers present were perfectly aware of the mode of operation, and the inventor offered to go into details confideniiilly with one or two of the distinguished officers present. In answer to a question from Sir Henry Hardinge, the inventor stated that without a bat tering train he could transport on a mule's back the mear of destroying the strongest fortress in Eur ment that wrought so terrible an effect or into the air a boat weighing two and a IN The instru- Saturday, lifting in with five and a half tons of solid timber, and displacing at least fourteen or fifteen tons of water, was only 181 h. weight. It is portable and at the same time safe—a point of vast im portance, when we remember the daily accidents that are oc curring from the detonating shells now used in our service. At Acre most of those employed burst before they reached their object, and they are liable to explode when rolling about a ship's deck, as was proved by the fatal accidents on board her Majesty's ship Medea, off Alexandria, and the Excellent, at Portsmouth, and are dangerous to carry in a common ammunition cart on a rough road. Whether Lord Melbourne will Condescend to examine into this matter, and secure these mighty powers for this country, or permit them to pass into the hands of our enemies, is more than we can venture to predict, but about which we cannot think England will re main indifferent BREVIATE 0 The rectory is to each of which is t The township The township of The township The townshir pets within I.

And the tithes of the present parish of Winwick are to be exonerated from the stipends now payable by the rector to the respective curates of the chapels of the townships com posing the rectory. - The rectors and vicars of the new rectories and vicarage are further to be entitled to all the endowments and emolu ments to which the curates are now entitled, except the stipends now payable by the rector of Winwick, and except the rights of the existing curate of the chapelry of Newton in-Mackerfield, and those of the curate for the time being of the church of St. Thomas, in Ashton-in-Mackerfield. The rectory of Ashton-in-Mackerfield is to be charged with the payment of £5O per annum to the perpetual curate for the time being of the church of St. Thomas, in that town ship.

Each of the churches within the districts is to be main tained by the inhabitants of the district. The parsonage house, cared Winwick-hall, is to be reduced with reference to the diminished income of the rector. The houses now occupied by the curates of the townships of Croft-with-Southworth, Newton-in-Mackerfield, Lowton, Ashton-in-Mackerfield, and Culcheth, are to be the parson age houses of the incumbents of the new districts ; and power is given to the patron and the ordinary, and the rector of Winwick, to lay out a sum to be stated in the bill, in pur chasing and providing parsonage houses for the other recto ries, and glebe land for all ; and provision is made for effecting the necessary purchases. The parsonage houses and glebe are to be vested in the several rectors and vicar. STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER, TUESDAY. —There has been a tolerably firm and steady market to-day both for goods and yarn, and, in some cases prices have been given.which could not be ob tained last week, especially in yarn. Still the market has exhibited nothing of the activity which is usual at this season of the year, and which was fully expected on the return of mild and seasonable weather. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The flannel market to-day has been more than usually dull ; few buyers have attended, and those few have purchased very sparingly : the prices remain the same as they have been for these few weeks past.

The wool market was an ave rage one, and prices remain firm. Stocks LEICESTER. — GeneraI business is still flat. Some fancy branches are a little more active ; but, as a whole, trade is decidedly dull. The prospects of improvement are uncer tain. The news from the United States is of a varying and contradictory character. The affair of M`Leod, and the possibility of a war with America, together with the long continued and distracted state of her finances, make the future too doubtful to be a matter of calculation.

The writer of this letter has tened to the scene of the fire, and arrived there about half past one o'clock this morning. The conservatory, and a large portion of elegant structure, were then in flames. He en deavoured to ascertain on the spot, as well as he could in the :onfusion which naturally happened; but all that he could learn was that tl CPPIIPr Irmo Prieron • house- ana EWO iemaie servants, in the absence of the family, resided in the house ; that one of his lordship's game-watchers was out about half-past ten o'clock last night, and at that time nothing had occurred to attract his atten .. tion, but that on proceeding to join another watcher, at a little past eleven o'clock, he observed the flames issuing, as he thought, from the chapel, which had not been finished, but in which sume carpenters had been recently employed. The chapel is close to the conservatory, and is heated by means of flues, from the ovArheating of which it is supposed the accident has arisen Ligence was immediately GRIMSTONIL'S WEATHER ALMA/CAM—This unique prO duction abounds in useful information, correctly made out, and elegantly printed.

VALUE OF LAND IN MANCHESTER.—Judging from the enormous sums which are frequently paid for sites for ware houses in Manchester, few would be disposed to conclude that the trade of the town is any other than most prosperous. A plot of land in George-street, near the Infirmary, has been sold in two lots—one of which fetched £lO,OOO, and the other £15,000, making together £25,000. The land com prises only about 2,200 superficial square yards. The pro perty originally was a builder and joiner's establishment. The original chief rent is only (it is said) ls. per yard per annum.—Leeds Mercury. DECISION IN FAVOUR OF THE MANCHESTER CHARTER. —The Judges sat in the Court of Exchequer Chamber on Monday last, to give judgment in the case of the rival coroners of Manchester, Messrs. Rutter and Chapman. The majority of the judges, namely, Lord Chief Justice Tindal, and Judges Bosanquet, Pattison, and Coltman, gave judgment in favour of the charter, whilst Lord Denman and Mr. Justice Williams gave their opinion against it.

We are informed by a correspond ent that, after the publicity thus given to the extraordinary " permission" of the head master, it created the greatest excitement, not only amongst the various authorities con nected with the College, but amongst several of the dignita ries of the Established Church, many of whose sons are now receiving their education at that ancient seat of learning. The Provost, with whom the veto rested, was appealed to by several highly influential individuals, connected with the church, on the subject, and the result is, that the " permis sion" originally granted has been withdrawn, and the sons of Count Bathyany have been sent elsewhere. The arrangements for their reception at Eton had been so far completed, that their tutor had been engaged, and they were to have entered at the opening of the school, after the Christmas vacation, about three weeks since.—Britannia. FUNERAL OF SIR ASTLEY COOPER, BART.—Through out the whole of Monday the vicinity of Guy's Hos pital was crowded by innumerable persons desirous of wit nessing the funeral obsequies of the above talented and highly-esteemed individual. The mortal remains of the de ceased were removed in a private manner at six o'clock in the morning from the late baronet's house in Conduit street. Hanover-square, accompanied by the immediate members of his family, and deposited in the committee-room of this ancient hospital, which was hung with black for the occasion. In this chamber arrangements were made for the numerous friends of the deceased and visitors to view the coffin, pre viously to its being deposited in the vault of the chapel be longing to the institution. This apartment is situated in the left wing of the quadrangle, facing the chapel. In the course of the day, till two o'clock, many hundred persons were admitted to view the preparations. The coffin was placed in the centre of the room; on the lid of the coffin was inscribed " Sir Astley Paston Cooper, Bart. G.C.H., died Feb. 15th, 1841, aged 73." Over the a b ove were the armorial bearings of th deceased. The collar, badge, and jewel of the Hanoverian Guelphic Order, and the riband and cross of the Legion of Honour, presented to the deceased by the late King of France, were deposited on the lid of the coffin. •At half-past two o'clock the quadrangle of the hos pital was filled by medical students and most of the princi pal gentlemen of the medical profession in London. There were also numerous ladies present, all attired in deep mourn ing. At this hour the chapel doors were opened, and the galleries immediately filled by students and members of the profession ; the body of the building was reserved for the governor of the institution, the mourners, and the ladies. At three o'clock the coffin was removed from•the dining room, and the procession moved towards the chapel.—Morn ing Herald, Monday. RAILWAY.—An ine, attached to th e s h ort Paddington at half-past -able alarm ACCIDENT ON TEE GREAT WESTE accident occurred to the Li on t train to Maidenhead, whTChle eight on Saturday morning last, causing consid, to the passe Just as' the tram tre of the Hanwell viaductlrcame to 'a sudden stop, in con sequence of a large piece of iron attached to the engine be coming loose, and getting entangled in one of the large cen tre wheels. A man was immediately sent back to the Hanwell station to have signals instantly hoisted to prevent the next train, which was expected in a few minutes, from running into the one delayed. After a stoppage of nearly an hour and a half (during which time none of the passengers were allowed to leave the carriages, but most rudely re pulsed- when they expressed a desire to do so to ascertain the cause of the delay), the engineers, with hammers and other tools, managed to clear the piece of iron from the wheel of the engine; but, in consequence of some damage which had been done to the machinery in the course of their labours the engine would-not move an inch ; the steam rapidly escaping, and apparently from the bottom of the boiler. Long before this time the nine o'clock down train, with the Hesperus en gine, bad arrived on the viaduct; and the only mode of wetting forward with both trains was found to be to have re -se to the engine of the last train to push behind. This :^d the whole party arrived at M a id en h ea d a b out two hours beyond the usual time, quite as much annoyed at the conduct of the guards and other attendants, as at the great delay they had experienced. One gentleman, who had to be at Southall to attend to an important appointment, scrambled over- the doorway of the carriage, which was securely fastened, determined to brave a prosecution with which he was threatened for disobeying against the regula tions of the company. He gave the guard his card, saying he should be forthcoming, when wanted, to answer any com plaint the directors might make against him. He was re fused permission to walk a short distance along the line, but was compelled to descend the embankment to proceed to Southall.—Morning Herald.

The engine was immediately stopped, and the boat at the stern lowered ; two men in three minutes were in the boat and ready to proceed ; and although the steamer had, from her rapid motion, gone a considerable way a-head, the boat arrived just in time to rescue him when on the eve of sinking, and returned with him to the steamer. He lied received a severe cut on the back part of the head, supposed to be from his falling on the anchor. Every means that could be thought of was used for his recovery. There being no surgeon either at Charleston or North Queensferry, the captain run the steamer over to the South Ferry, and waited until two medi cal gentlemen came on board, who attended him to his house at Leith.

BAPTISM OF FOUR JEWS —On Sunday evening an inte resting and imposing service was performed at the Episcopal Jews Chapel, Bethnal Green, on the occasion of the baptism of four converted Jews, according to the rites of the Church of England. The solemn ordinance was administered by the Rev. Mr. Cartwright, the chaplain, and the converts, who had been some time under religious and catechetical in struction, were a Pole, a_ Dutchman, a German, and an Englishman, of the several a chapel was crowded to excess, and th n ceremony; which was administered just after the conclusion of the se cond lesson, was witnessed by upwards of 50 strange Jews, who visited the chapel on this occasion for the first time. An impressive sermon was afterwards delivered by the chaplain from 31st Jeremiah, and 31st to 34th verse. The inquirers are now very numerous, and many attend the service of the Hebrew liturgy, which is read every Sunday afternoon. Prayers in the Hebrew language are also read in the chapel, every morning during the week, at seven o'clock, which are attended by orderly and inquiring congregations. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE.—On Wed nesday, the 10th instant, a very melancholy accident occurred in this quarter, which has deeply affected all the inhabitants. Upon that day Mr. John M`Laren, vender of fishing tackle, Crieff, and a boy of his, about eleven years of age, went to fish upon the river E arn , west o f Strowan .. It would appear that the boy had gone to slide upon a small pond near by the Earn, which was partly frozen at the time, had fallen into the water and was drowned. No person being present when the accident took place, it is supposed that the boy's father, seeing him in the act of drowning, had attempted to save him, and when doing so the ice had broken and he was carried by the water in below the ice, when he also was drowned. Both bodies were found, and conveyed home on the afternoon of the same day. M`Laren was a quiet inoffensive man, and he has left a widow and three children to mourn over the sad event.—Perth Courier. RAILWAY TRIP EXTRAORDINARY.—A few days ago the workmen employed at the engine manufactory belonging to the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Company, at the Bromsgrove station, perceived a waggon laden with quarry stones coming down the incline at such a frightful rate that they had hardly time to consider what they had better do under the circumstances, before it dashed past them at the rate of nearly 100 miles per hour. They would probably have had time enough to overturn the vehicle, but wisely de termined to let it pursue its wild ca eer, for fear that they should not have time to clear the line before the Birmingham train (which was nearly due) arrived, and which might have led to the most dreadful consequences. Fortunately the waggon was seen by some parties on, the line, about three miles beyond Bronis„.-rove ; and they hastily procured a num ber of scotches (thick pieces of wood), and laid them, at short distances, upon the rails. The last scotch had scarcely been laid before the vehicle was upon the first; and so little was its speed checked by the obstruction, that it seemed as if it would pass them all. However, after running over several, it at length stopped without overturning, and without caus ing the slightest accident. It seems that the waggon was standing just above the top of the incline, and that either a carriage or engine slightly touched it, when, having passed the level, it dashed off at the rate we have described. We trust that this occurrence will act as a caution to contractors not to leave waggons in such situations in future ; for had this occurrence happened in the night, it is impossible to say what damage might have ensued.— Worcester Chronicle. ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION.—The Limerick Standard gives the following details of an atrocious attempt to assas sinate a young gentleman returning to his home on the even ing of last Sunday:—" As Mr. Anselm E. Taylor, jun., of Woodcliffe, in this county, was returning home from Kil dimo, about half-past eight o'clock on Sunday evening last, he was fired at by some cowardly, ruffian, but fortunately without effect, from inside the wall of the mail-coach line of road, about one or two miles west of Askeaton ; his horse shied at the flash, and went off in a gallop. On arriving at the Robertstown police statio n h e ca ll e d on t h at act i ve offi cer, Constable Gubbins, who at once dispatched an escort with Mr. Taylor to his residence. On the following morning search was made, and the ball was found in the cushion of the jaunting-car. Fortunately Mr. Taylor was sitting on the opposite side whence the shot came, and the foot-board of the car was turned up on the other through which the ball first entered, and then lodged in the hair of the cushion. So premeditated was the aim, that but for these circumstances he would most certainly have been shot. The only reason which can be assigned for this daring attempt on his life is, that Mr. Taylor stopped for a short time that day at the house of Mr. Sheehy (who was lately attacked), and thence proceeded homeward, and it might be that he was mistaken for some of the functionaries who were expected to attend an investigation about to be held there into that outrage. A MAN CHOICED WITH A PIECE OF BEEF.—An inquest was held before Mr. Chapman, the borough. coroner, on Tuesday week, on the body of James Knott, a jobber in a factory, lately living in Spittal-street, who came to his death under the following rather extraordinary circumstances : Ann Knott, the deceased's wife, stated that, on Sunday even ing, the deceased was eating some boiled beef and bread for supper, when he suddenly lifted up both his hands, and ap peared to be choking. He rose up, and went towards the door, followed by two of her sons, who hit him on the back to enable him to recover himself. Her son Robert fetched a doctor, and witness fainted away, and when she came to her senses again, two surgeons were standing over the de ceased, who, they said, was dead.—James Knott, son.of the deceased; stated, that he went for a surgeon, and on his re turn found that Mr. Walker, who had been sent for by ano ther person, was idthe house. He pulled a piece of beef out of the deceased's throat with an instrument, and said he was dead ;" but, if he had been there a little earlier, he might have saved him. The meat was about an inch square, and seemed to be too large for any .one to swallow. Witness and his brother had been joking with the deceased, and he had a hearty fit of laughter while the meat was in his mouth. The jury returned a verdict thdt the deceased was accidentally choked. The deceased was 56 years of age, and has left a wife and seven children. FIRE IN PRESTON CHURCH NEAR BRIGHTON.—On Sunday afternoon the little village of Preston, which 13 on the London road, within a short ride of Brighton, was into a state of considerable alarm in consequence of a hrt the church, which took place during the performance of Di vine service. The first discovery of the fire was made by a young man, who was accidently passing along the road, and perceived a quantity of smoke issuing from the roof, with a strong smell of burning wood, and almost immediately after some flames issued forth. He immediately entered the church, where the rev. gentleman who was officiating, was proceeding with the service. Fearful of the consequences of alarming the congregation and occasioning a sudden rush, he made his way to the clerk and communicated the fact, which was made known to the clergyman, who was pro ceeding to inform the congregation, entreating them not to be needlessly alarmed and increase the danger, w h en t h e cry of " the church is on fire!" was raised on the outside, and the alarm instantaneously became general, each person endeavouring to get out as speedily as possible. During the few minutes which had transpired from the time of the dis covery, a great number of persons congregated on the spot, amongst whom were many of the railway labourers, who, im mediately they perceived the nature of the danger, ran to the works which are close by and procured ladders, axes, &c., and speedily got on to the roof, under which it was ascer tained the fire was raging, and which burst forth with great fury when they had succeeded in pulling off some of the tiling. They then quickly organised themselves, and having procured buckets, conveyed water from the various wells and ponds ad jacent, pouring it on the burning rafters, and keeping the flames in check. Messengers, who had been despatched to Brighton, speedily returned with the engines, when the flames were extinguished, mainly by the exertions of the la bourers and others, who were indefatigable. On examining the interior of the building after the alarm had in some de gree subsided, it appeared most probable that the fire had originated in the bursting of the flue of the stove by which the church is warmed, and which goes up through the ceiling and the roof, which is formed of arched timber, and must, to have got so strong a hold of the massive beams, been burn ing for some considerable time before the fire was discoverd. ANECDOTE OF. THE LATE SIR ASTLEY COOPER. —Just before Sir Astley was seized with his last illness, a wealthy City merchant, who resided in the neighbourhood of Engle field-green, near Windsor, and lately retired from business, ca tatllesdun of hispon hi hmieth. nalCondult happened that -streettoconsu the patientltuithira upon the was tnhoattoie indulgedn i lyextreme i l n y f h o ig n h d loifvinthg to a great excess. Thi s wase good things of this wor ld b ut soon discovered by Sir Astley, who thus addressed Mr. instanceextensiv e in knowledge hi ch " You a re a m erchant, sir, and therefore must possess an trad exceededebut didyo the uev exots that'erknorwofan of importsthe there was not a glut in the market? That's the case with t you, si r ; take more physic and eat less." The gentleman took the hint ; and he has since declared that Sir Astley's knowledge o f the " first principles of commerce" and the mode of giving his advice, rendering it " clear to the meanest capacity,' has not only enabled him to enjoy good health ever since, but has probably prolonged his life for many years. BARBAROUS Mum)Ett.—On Tuesday evening last, King, a carrier between Barnstaple and Oketampt3n, put a female down at the place called Five Oaks, between Okeharnpton and Hatherleigh, handing her a bundle and bandbox from the cart. She got over a stile to proceed across some fields to her home, and King went on his journey ; he had not gone far before he heard cries of murder, and returning to the spot where he left his passenger, met a man coming over the stile with a box and bundle, of the description of those he had delivered to the woman. He asked the man where he got the articles, and received for a reply, " What odds is it' to you," upon this he seized the man by the collar, charging him with robbery, when h e rec ei ve d a cu t across thel fingers from a large knife. A scuffle ensued, when King threw the other man, and broke his leg., He subsequently found the unfortunate woman two fields off, with her head nearly severed flora her body. The murderer was handed over to the proper authorities.— Western Luminary. ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE. —On Monday night, between 12 and 1 o'clock, the following alarming occurrence took place at the residence of Mr. Charles Hammersley, 25, Park-cres cent, Regent's-park. At the period in question, Mr. Ham mersley, who was in bed, was awakened by a loud noise, re sembling the firing of a large piece of ordnance, and, putting on his clothes, he hastened below, when he met at the bot tom of the stairs the butler ' who was trembling with fright, and both of them proceed e d into the area, on entering which they found that five large panes of glass in the pantry, and one in the housekeeper's room, were shattered to pieces. There was a strong sulphuric smell, and, on making a fur ther examination, it was discovered that some of the area steps were dislodged from their proper position. In the morning, about nine o'clock, information of ,the mysterious circumstance was communicated at the station-house in Marylebone-lane, and Inspector Tednian, of the D division, at once repaired to the mansion, when he carefully examined the steps, and at length found upon one of them a small por tion of what he imagined to be rosin. He repaired with it to the Polytechnic Institution, and exhibited it to Mr. Thompson, who, upon hearing the whole of the circum stances, gave it as his decided opinion that the explosion was from a maroon, which had been thrown down the area, and that a fusee being attached to it, the mischievous author of the' " joke" had had plenty of time to get away previous to the explosion taking place. The rosin found by the inspector 'had dropped from the case, and it was no uncommon thing for maroons, after being fired, to leave no vestige of paper or anything else appertaining to them behind. It subsequently turned out that the kitchen-maid had, in the early part of the morning, swept a quantity of rosin off the steps. It is wor thy of remark, that about a fortnight ago a similar dangerous and mischievous prank was played off in the vicinity of Brentford. LIVERPOOL PRICES CURRENT. MIMES qADDER 19' CWt.

The experiment was made here lately, and proved satisfactory: — Perth Courier. COURT OF CHANCERY.-It is believed that in order to prevent the entire stoppage of the public business, the great seal will be immediately put into commission during the ill ness of the Lord Chancellor, and that three of the judges will be appointed commissioners. A very distressing accident occurred at Inverary, on Satur day. Dr. Anderson, a highly-esteemed and venerable prac titioner, in that town, had occasion to be on the quay, and had been for some timeconversing with several of the inha bitants, when he was suddenly missed. It appeared that a strong gust of wind had blown him off the quay, and his cloak had got sound him - so firmly as to prevent his making any attempt to save himself. ' Dr. Anderson was 89, and had practised for 45 years in Inverary.—Greenock Adver tiser. The Rev. Joseph Rayner Stephens was liberated on Mon day, the Ist of February, from Chester Castle. This libera tion took place eight days earlier than the term of his sen tence, but, in consequence of the death of his father, the Rev. John Stephens, Lord Normanby kindly consented to the remission of the few days, to enable him to attend the last sad duties to the deceased. We learn that Mr. Stephens will return to Chester, and remain there during the summer. WHIG TAXES.—The new " peace taxes" of the reformed ministry have created a soreness in the country which all the flummery of whig cant cannot appease. The critical eyes of the window-peepers have been prompt in the aid of the whig impoverished exchequer ; and in one case, which came before the commissioners on Tuesday, it appears that a tenant (in one corner of a large warehouse), paying £4 rent, and having no internal communication with the other portion, had to pay £8 taxes for all the windows in the place.—Halifax Guardian. MR. DANIEL WrixTTLE HARVEY.—It was currently re ported in the city on Saturday, and from the best authority, that there is no doubt of the fact that Daniel Whittle Harvey has intimated to the Police Committee his intention of re tiring from the office of City Commissioner of Police. The reason assigned for this proceeding on the lat e m em be r f or Southwark is the opposition he meets with in the Courts of Aldermen and Common Council, he having often declared that the city police can never be rendered effective till it is placedunder the superintendence of the Home-office. It is fur ther stated, that the commissioner has an eye to the Chief Bailiffship of the borough of Southwark, which is worth £2,000 per annum, and does not preclude its possessor from a seat in the House of Commons.—Sunday paper. HORRID ATTEMPT TO POISON.--A few days ago an at tempt was made to poison the family of the Rev. Joseph Webster, residing at Merriman's Hill, near Worcester. On Friday last, he and Mrs. Webster, their children, and ser vants, after partaking of some soup, were all seized with vio lent retching and excruciating pain. Medical aid was imme diately called, and the stomach pump employed with com plete success. Tile remainder of the soup was instantly analysed, and the presence of arsenic detected. The report is that the water of a well on the premises has been found to be highly impregnated with poison. No clue has yet been obtained respecting the perpetrator of this diabolical offence. A short time since Mr. Webster lost two valuable dogs which had unquestionably been poisoned. The whole of Mr. W.'s family are recovering. STEALING CHILDREN.--CAUTION TO PARENTS.--On Thursday week, while a servant girl in the employment of Mr. Abbott, Chester-street, Hulme, was walking out in Ann-street, Hulme, with his child, about nine months old, in her arms, she was accosted by a smart, well-dressed young woman, apparently from 26 to 30 years of age, who f on dl e d the child, and said she would buy it a pennyworth of lozenges, and she would take hold of the child until the girl fetched them. The girl then gave her the child, and went for the lozenges •, but on her return the woman and the child were gone, and, though its distressed parents have used every ex ertion to recover it, it has not since been heard of. A child of Mr. Corbett's, of Stanley-street, Hulme, and which was about twelve month's old, was stolen in a similar manner the same day, and probab!y by the same woman, as the des cription given of her by the girl in this case exactly agrees with that given in the other.

Speculators have taken of this quantity near 5,000 bales. The trade purchase sparingly, last week's prices are not fully supported, and Cotton is offered much more plentifully. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEB. 25 Already has the country began to feel the vegetative influetTCe of the genial weather we now enjoy, and already have its effects been apparent in our Butter market, by a reduction in price of ss to 4s per cwt. We think there would he much difficulty in moving any quantity even of the finest description of Butter at 105 s. The low qualities are unsaleabie. Prime Beef and Pork in fair request. Other kinds pot asked for. Bacon goes' off with a little mere freedom, cos being the currency. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 23. (From. the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6- Son.) Since TueßtfAy last the winds have admitted arrivals from the Southward to a fair extent, of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal, from Ireland and Coastways, and of FlOur from the United States, as will be observed by the Import note below ; the demand has been very steady here to a moderate extent for Wheat at an advance of about 2d per 701 b, and for Flour at fully our last quotations ; Oats and Oatmeal find sales readily as they arrive at the highest prices last quoted, and for fine mealing qualities in some instances at an increase of Id per 45th for the former, and of 6d per 2401 b for the latter ; Malt, Barley for malting and grinding, Beaus, Pease and Indian Corn, have fully supported their recent quotations, here and in Manchester on Saturday last. There was no alteration in the duties of Grain from Foreign ports on Friday last ; a very active demand has occurred for Flour in bond on speculation, and some for export, thus many thousand barrels have changed hands during the past week, at first at 24s 6d, then at ass per barrel in bond in warehouses, and latterly some parcels on the passage have been sold at 25s 6d, and some for ex port at 265, which is now steadily demanded, and some holders and importers are unwilling to offer for sale at present, Wheat in bond is also in more demand at about prices quoted. The advance on Wheat in the London Market of the past week has had its influence her e, and although this was not quite to the extent anticipated yesterday in Mark Lane, at this Day's Market a further advance was demanded, but submitted to by the millers and dealers only to a very moderate extent of about 3d per 7olb on Wheat, (and some very fine white Danzic reached lls per 7ulb,) Id per 451 d on Oats, is per barrel, and per sack on Flour, is per 2401 b on Oatmeal, above the prices of this day week; of all other Grain the prices last quoted were fully supported.
