tw-tkpf THE SUNSHINE IN YOU. BY SAMUEL LOVER. (From Handy Andy, Part XII.) It is sweet when we look round the wide world's waste, To know that the desert bestows The palms where the weary heart may rest, The spring tbat in purity flows. And where have I found In.this wilderness round That spring and that shelter so true; Unfailing in need, And my own, indeed ? Oh! dearest, I've found it in you! And, oh when the cloud of some darkening hour O'ershadows the soul with its gloom, Then where is the light of the vestal power, The lamp of pale Hope to illume ? Oh ! the light ever lies In those bright fond eyes, Where Heaven has impress'd its own blue, As a seal from the skies ; And my heart relies On that gift of its sunshine in yon! SONNET, BY MR.

Ainsworth's Magazine. LITERARY NOTICES. EgUnion Park Meeting, and other Poems. By John Ram say, Kilmarnock, Ayrshire. Edinburgh : Stirling, Kenney and Co. The truth that " Poeta nascitur, non fit " has never been more aptly illustrated than by the peasant bards of Scotland. In our own land the poetic fire has glowed, with the few ex ceptions of Bloomfield, Clare, and others, most frequently in the boudoir of aristocracy, or in the study of the scholar. But in our sister land star after star has risen from the hum bler walks of life, whilst few—very few—are the poets who have risen amongst the nobly born, or the highly educated. The genius of poesy has encountered the poor shepherd in his mountain home—on the heath clad hill, by the mountain loch, by the burnside and the brae;—bas gladdened his hum ble home with song, and shed over his Sabbath e'en the holy light of his week day communings with the spirit of beauty, which pervades all nature : but she has shunned all communing with the cold utilitarian spirit which too much pervades the mind of Scotland's educated children. A few there are indeed, even amongst the scholars of that country, to whom she has been bountiful. She boasts of her Scott, her Wilson, and her Muir in the present generation. But these names break not in upon the established rule which poesy has there established for her visitings. These men wor shipped nature in her wildest fastnesses; followed her voice by the glow and the streamlet ; studied her in all her fantas tic changes, by day and by night; and wooed the fickle spirit in the solitudes where most frequently and most touchingly her voice is beard. They are nature's poets ; and nature is of no country or clime. There is something we fear drossy and earthy in the phi losophy of the educated Scotchman which accounts for this peculiar feature in the poetic development of Scotland's children. We shall not here attempt to trace it; and merely refer to it as an introduction to our present notice of her peasant-poets—the Ayrshire bard, John Ramsay. We shall not assume to say what Ramsay might have been, had fortune placed him in a different position in life to that which he has thus far adorned. The man, however, whose muse could, from the loom-shop of a Kilmarnock weaver, give to the world even one strain of the many which adorn this unpretending volume, may fairly claim to be worthy of, if already he has not received, immortality. Some few of the poems here are perhaps little worthy o f him—some few which appear to be the productions of merely ephemeral thoughts, occurrences and perhaps feelings. These, even, are often clever; whilst in many of the more sterling productions of his pen a poetic talent is displayed which is highly honourable to their author. The " Eglinton Park Meeting," and " Dundonald Castle" are forcibly written, and display occasional beauties of a very high or der ; whilst in " Musings by the Clyde," and a few of his occasional pieces, we can find little which will not do credit to a writer of much greater pretensions. On another occasion we shall endeavour to give an extract or two, as . specimens of the style of our bard. At present we can only say to him, strive on towards " The steep where fame's proud temple shines afar ;" and predict that he will not occupy a mean place there in the eyes of his fellow-countrymen and the world. MISCELLANEOUS. On Thursday last, Mr. Stuart Wortley was elected M.P. for the county of Bute, without opposition.

POPULATION OF CIIINA.—In the present (December) number of Fisher's Colonial Magazine, an able article con tends that the population of China must amount to at least three hundred and thirty-three millions, in opposition to opinions which rate the census at a much lower (not one-half) number. Captain Bingham estimates the losses of the Chinese since the commencement of our hostile operations against them, at from fifteen to twenty thousand men, and about eight hun dred pieces of cannon, with an immense quantity of other materials of war, and the almost total annihilation of their win• tScAl'it FROM IMMEEAft Camp, Cabral, Sept, 22, 1842, I am sure you will be delighted to bear of not only myself, but the whole of us unfortunate prisoners (with the excep tion of Bygrave) being once more under the protection of the British flag, after a captivity of eight months and a-half. On the morning of the 25th ult. (August), we suddenly received an order from Mahomed Akhbar Khan to prepare for our immediate departure towards Toorkistan. We started at 10 p.m. Troup and Bygrave remaining with the Sirdar, and Mrs. Trevor and family, Anderson, Mrs. Ander son, and children, and Dr. Campbell, in consequence of the illness of the ladies ; our escort consisted of 300 infantry, under the command of Salih Mahomed Khan, formerly a Subadar in our friend thpkins' corps, and who deserted to Dost Mahomed, at Bameean, in September, 1840. We arrived at Bameean, on the Toorkistan frontier, on the 3rd instant. During the march, as Salih Mahomed and I had become rather intimate, on the morning of the 29th of August, I privately proposed to him that if he would forsake Mahomed Akhbar, and carry us off through the mountains in the direction of Nott's force, which we heard was near Ghuznee, and make us over to the general, we would give him a lac of rupees. At that time he appeared to think it very doubtful which party would gain the day, and laughingly said, such a thing was, if not an impossibility, at least a matter of great difficulty. As I had some doubts of the man's inclination to serve us, I thought it was advisable to leave him to digest what I had mentioned until a more favourable opportunity offered. The next day Lawrence, to whom I had mentioned my proposition, again spoke to our Commandant regarding the lac of rupees. At Bameean our whole party was put into two forts, in the most miserable dirty hovels you ever saw, the officers, ladies, and children into one, and the European soldiers into another. Our situ ation, as you may imagine, was not enviable, having nothing but a prospect of slavery and a dungeon as our fate in Toor kistan, Mahomed Akhbar having declared before we left Cabal that he would distribute us amongst the various Tartar chiefs in the event of our troops marching on the capital. On the 10th (September) we heard of Ghuznee being destroyed by Nott's army. On the 11th we heard to our horror that the order had arrived during the night for our immediate departure to Kooloom. Shortly afterwards I re ceived a message from Salih Mahommed Khan that he wished to see Lawrence, Pottinger, and self to a private conference. I very soon obeyed, the summons, having an inkling that it had reference to my former offer of a lac of rupees. When we were assembled, our commandant told us that an order had come from the Sirdar for our instant march to Kooloom, and produced the letter, which stated that we were to be made over to the Walee or Chief, and that all orders regarding us must be obeyed; he then went on to state that Syud Moor teza Khan, who was formerly employed by me during the siege, had brought him a message from Moonshee Mohunlall, that, on condition of his releasing us and bringing us into Cabal, he would receive from General Pollock 20,000 rupees and 1000 rupees per month for life. Salih Mahomed said— " I know nothing of General Pollock, but if you three will sign a paper guaranteeing to me this sum I will join your in terests heart and soul." To make assurance doubly sure as re t arded the sum to be given to Salih Mahomed in the event of Government not agreeing to aid us in effecting bur release, we three were formed into a committee, obtained the sanc tion of every officer and lady to give such sums as we might hereafter demand of them for the proposed object, acting to the best of our ability to effect our own release. We told Salih Mahomed to draw out an agreement, which he did, and we bound ourselves on the part of every lady and gentleman to give the commandant 20,000 rupees, and 1000 rupees per month, and subsequently added four months' pay to each Sepoy on condition of their taking us into Cabul. We had now falsely committed ourselves, as we knew that in the event of our hereafter falling into the Sirdar's hands, through trea chery or otherwise, the lives of us who had signed the paper (I ought also to have mentioned Mackenzie's name, as he also attached his signature) would pay the penalty. On the morning of the 12th Salid Mahomed's flag of defiance was hoisted on one of the towers of our fort ; he wanted money to pay his troops; some kafilas coming in at the time from Toorkistan, he levied a tax on them. The governor not bringing himself forward in assisting us, he deposed him and put up another. The man who had civil charge of us, Ahmed Khan, received an intimation that neither he nor his 160 sol diers were required any longer, and that they would be seized if they delayed their departure. On the 13th those agents had all taken their departure ; on the night of the 13th I went outside of the fort, when everything was quiet, and brought the water from a cut near at hand into the ditch at the back of the fort, as, in the event of a siege, which we hourly expected, as we imagined our troops must be some where near Cabal, the Sirdar would for a certainty bolt in our direction ; the river being at some short distance off our water might be cut off. On the 14th all the principal chiefs came in. to make their obeisance to us and tendered every kind of aid. We all subscribed such small sums as we could afford to lay in a little godown 'of our own, and I undertook this part of the work with about 5000 rupees, which I had collected. On the 15th it was thought advisable to send three or four officers into the soldiers' fort, as we had been pro mised muskets for them, and my mess, consisting of Bur nett, Alston, Crawford, and self, removed our beddings there, and took military and political charge. We dug wells, filled the ditch, repaired the holes, and were all busy as bees. When we heard of Mahomed Akhbar's defeat at Tezeen, all our preparations for a siege were stopped, and we determined to force our way to Cabul with our small guard, and to effect our release solely through our own exertions; on the morning of the 16th we took our departure, and halted about ten miles off; on the 17th crossed the Kaloo mountains, 13,000 feet high, and halted near Kharzar, where we were met by 610 Kuzzilbash horsemen, who had come to our aid, under command of Sir Richmond Shakespear. On the 19th we were met on the road by General Sale, with 1,000 cavalry, 1,000 infantry, and two guns, who had the day before come out to our assistance from Cabul, and thanked God that we once more breathed the air of freedom. I was anxious to push on to Cabul, and started again in the evening with two of my Kuzzilbash friends to Kila Kazee, where General Nott's force was encamped, stopped the night with my friend Dr. Mackinnon, and came on here on the morning of the 21st, and took up my quarters with my old shipmate Burn. Yesterday morning all the prisoners came into camp, when there was a royal salute fired, and here we all are as happy as men and women can be who but a few days ago had scarcely a hope of any other fate than the dragging on a miserable existence in some dungeon in Toorkistan. Maho med Akhbar had sent orders to put to death all those who were too weak to proceed to Khoolooro.—Delhi Gazette, Oct. 12. AMPUTATION WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PATIENT. The following "account of a case of successful amputation of the thigh during the mesmeric state, without the know ledge of the patient," was read to the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society of London, otethe 22d ult.:— " James Wombwell, aged 42, a labouring man, of calm and quiet temperament, had suffered. for a period of about five years, from a painful affection of the left knee. On the 51st day of June last, he was admitted into the district hos pital at Wellow, near 011erton, Notts, no longer able to work and suffering much pain. It was soon found that amputa tion of the leg, above the knee joint, was inevitable and it was eventually proposed that it should be performed, if pos sible, during mesmeric sleep. " At half-past one o'clock," continues the narrator, "we proceeded to Wombwell's room, to make the necessary ar rangement. From the sufferings inflicted by the slightest movement, it was found impossible, without needless torture, to place him upon a table. The low bed, on which he then lay, was therefore lifted upon a temporary platform. Ten minutes after being mesmerized, he was drawn, by means of the bed clothes beneath him, towards the end of the bed. The movement, however, excited that pain which had so often aroused him before; and now it did so again. There was somthing quite excruciating in the suffering which the state of the knee produced ; for I had seen him., whilst in mesmeric sleep, pricked to some little depth, in other parts of the diseased limb, without being disturbed or conscious of it. To preclude the necessity of any further movement, his leg was now placed in the most convenient position which he could bear. Shortly afterwards, he declared that the pain had ceased; and I again mesmerized him in four minutes. In a quarter of an hour I informed Mr. Ward, that he might commence the operation. I then brought two fingers of each hand gently in contact with Wombwell's closed eyelids, and there kept them still further to deepen the sleep. Mr. Ward, after one earnest look at the man, slowly plunged his knife into the centre of the outer side of the thigh, directly to the bone, and then made a clear incision to the opposite point on the inside of the thigh. The stillness at this moment w a something awful. The calm respiration of the sleeping man alone was heard ; for all seemed suspended. In making the second incision, the position of the leg was found more in convenient than it had appeared to be, and the operator could not proceed with his former facility. Soon after the second incision a moaning was heard from the patient, which continued at intervals, until the conclusion It gave me the idea of a troubled dream ; for his sleep continued as profound as ever. The placid look of his countenance never changed for an instant : his whole frame rested, uncontrolled, in perfect stillness and repose; not a muscle or a nerve was seen to twist. To the end of the operation, inciuding the sawing of the bone, securiag the arteries, and applying the bandages —occupying a period of upwards of twenty minutes—he lay like a statue. Soon after the limb was removed, his pulse becoming low, from loss of blood, some brandy and water was poured into his throat, which he swallowed unconsciously. As the last bandage was applied, I pointed out to one of the surgeons and another gentleman present that peculiar quiver ing of the eyelids already alluded to. Finally, when all was completed, and Wombwell was about to be removed, his pulse being still found very low some sal volatile and water was administered to him ; it proved too strong and pungent, and he gradually and calmly awoke. " At first he uttered no exclamation, and, for some mo ments, seemed lost and bewildered ; but, after looking around, he exclaimed, 'I bless the Lord to find it's all over !' He was then removed to another room ; and, following im mediately, I asked him, in the presence of those assembled, to describe all be felt or knew after he was mesmerized. His reply was, I never knew anything more, and never felt any pain at all. I once felt as if I heard a kind of crunch ing.' I asked if that were painful. He replied, 'no pain at all ! I never had any, and knew nothing till I was awakened by that strong stuff (the sal volatile.) The crunching,' no doubt, was the sawing of his own thigh bone. He was left easy and comfortable, and has since slept well, and is safely recovering." This statement is signed and authenticated by W. Topham, Esq., of the middle Temple. Mr. Ward also has given his own account, which bears exact testimony to every circum stance recited above. SALE OF ESTATES BY MESSRS. FAREBROTBER AND CO , AT GARRAWAY'S, Nov. 30, 1842 . — The freehold manor and estate of Manley, in the county of Chester, with excellent residence, gardens, and pleasure•grounds, several dairy and other farms, with farm-houses and superior buildings, the whole estate containing upwards of 1,100 acres of productive meadow, pasture, and arable land, well watered and wooded, in the occupation of very respectable tenants (excepting the residence and about 168 acres), at rents amounting to £l,BlO per annum, sold for £52,900.

STEAM-BOAT COLLISION. — An accident, which was nigh being attended with disastrous consequences, took place at the Dublin bar late on Friday night or early on Saturday nl orning. It app eared that the Devonshire steamer , belong mg hadtaorritrheedßritish and Irish Steam-packet Company ' , which the and a fearful pro ceeding fr omhere from London on Friday morning, was pro thence to Belfast on the same night, when she De vonshire is a Ecli pse steam-boat, from Strangford to Wexford, which collision took place between them.

All fortunately escaped without any accident occurring to them ; her cargo sustained no damage also.—Dublin Morning Register. THE ttEVOLT nT BAitaLONA, SUBMISSION OP THE INSURGENTS. Our private letters from Perpignan of the 2d inst. state, that letters had been received by the Spanish Consul in that town from a correspondent at Gerona, dated the Ist. inst, an nouncing that the insurgents at Barcelona had capitulated. The terms of the capitulation were not known, but it was said that the leaders in, the revolt had effected their escape. General Llinas, and several other refugees who had dis tinguished themselves during the insurrection, had pro ceeded from Perpignan to Marseilles. The Sud of Marseilles of the 3d inst. announces the arrival in that port of the steam-boat the Mercurio, which sailed from Barcelona at 5 o'clock in the morning of the Ist inst. " It is stated that the entire day of the 30th ult. was passed in negotiations between the new junta and Espartero, whose head-quarters .were at Sarria. The junta proposed to sur render Barcelona on the following terms:— " The removal of Zurbano van Halen, and the Political Chief, the garrison to be changed, and the present National Guard to remain armed. No quintas or conscription." The Gazette du Midi publishes the same news, and adds, that Espartero refused the conditions proposed by the new Junta, and required that the insurgents should surrender at discretion. The Junta spoke of resisting, but it was believed that on some bomb-shells being thrown into the town they would submit. The Semaphore of Marseilles publishes a postscript, stating that all was terminated at Barcelona, the Junta having accepted the conditions proposed by Espartero. One of these conditions consisted in the disarming of the National Guard. The Madrid Gazette of the 29th ult. publishes reports from the Political Chiefs of Logrono, Soria, Biscay, Granada, Guipuscoa, Cordova, Almeria, Seville, Santander, Burgos, Huesca, Saragossa, Lerida, Guadalaxara, Jaen, and Ciudad- Real, announcing that the best spirit existed amongst the in habitants of their respective districts. The Madrid Gazette likewise announces that the squadron appointed to blockade Barcelona was composed of the frigates Cortes and Christina, the brigantines Manzanares, Hero, and Plute, the galliot Isabel IL, the packet-boat Yaut Hay, and the steam-boats Isabella 11. and Mazeppa. El Heraldo, of the 22th ult„ asserts that a treaty of com merce had been signed between Great Britain and Spain. The Eco del Commercio of the 29th ult. publishes the proposed law relative to the military establishment of the kingdom for the year 1843. countersigned by the Minister Jose Ramon Rodil. The first article states, that the force of the standing army should be fixed at 90,000 men. By ar ticle 2 the government is authorised to call into active ser vice the provincial battalions, should circumstances require it. The Corresponsal of the 29th ult. states that the govern ment was about to lease the quicksilver mines of Almaden to a brother of General Seoane. The 3 per Cents. were done at Madrid on the 29th alt al 22 21 15-16 at 60 days; the 5 per Cents. at 26 11-16 4al 60 days. The Paris National observes, that " although the state of the atmosphere for the last three days has not permitted the arrival of a telegraphic despatch from Spain, there can be no doubt that by this time Espartero has entered Barcelona, and that order has been re-established in that city. Now that the local insurrection is crushed, and that the Regent finds his influence confirmed, the attention of Europe will be at tracted to his conduct. His defeat would have placed him in much peril; victory likewise has its dangers. We trust that Espartero will observe that impartiality which is the duty of a chief of a nation. The insurgents when con querors of his army displayed the greatest moderation. Masters of the town, they respected property. They were humane and generous to the troops who fell into their hands ; and we feel confident that Espartero will, showing clemency, serve at the same time the cause of humanity and of the government." WESTERN AUSTRALIA. There are accounts from Western Australia to the 10th of August. They notice with much displeasure the refusal of the Secretary of State to sanction the charge proposed by the Legislative Assembly in the sale of Crown lands. The papers urge that a Colonial Minister should rather submit to the opinion gathered from sources likely to be well acquainted with the subject, than without due consideration reject a plan the efficacy of which had bad mature consideration before it was submitted for his approval. A bill that had occu pied attention in the Assembly was to prevent the un authorised occupation of territory within the limits of the colony, and evidence at great length had been heard for and against the measure. It had gone through the preliminary stages, and was expected, from the little opposi tion, before long to become law. It is worthy of notice that the Americans continue to make the bay whaling at Swan River a profitable speculation ; and as the Perth Inquirer contains some interesting statistics connected with their operations during tha first half year of 1842, it is as well to give the facts in order to lay before the public an idea of the wealth the whale fishers of the United States ale drawing on the seaboard of one of our colonies. Port Augusta, a place yet but little known, is the favourite resort for the American fleet to be supplied with vegetables, fruit, milk, fresh meat, and other necessaries for a long voyage, and here, it is stated, the vessels also undergo the repair of damage they may have received either from the usual chances of the trade, or the effect of bad weather. The vessels that had called in at this port up to June were 12in number, 10 of which were American, while the other two were from the Cape of Good Hope and Hobart-town. The quantity of oil these vessels had secured is a sufficient test of the resources of the fishery of the neighbour hood. The Iris had 60 barrels of sperm; the Chelsea 850 barrels of black oil ; the Montezuma, 1,500 barrels of oil ; the Con necticut, 1,190 barrels of oil and 200 barrels of sperm ; the Mentor, 2,100 barrels of oil; the William, 100 barrels of sperm ; the Julius Caesar, 1,175 barrels of black oil ; and the Addison 500 barrels of sperm. These are all American whalers. The ship from the Cape had not, up to that date, been successful, and the Camilla, from Hobart-town, had but 60 barrels of sperm. It appears, however, that many of the vessels had not completed their runs, but had put into Port Angusta for what the crews wanted. It is further stated, in proof of the quantity of fish in the bay, that in the winter of 1839 two vessels from the States captured no less than 30 whales; and in 1840 two other vessels were equally success ful. In the winter of 1841 27 whales were killed in the bay, by the Camilla, from Hobart-town, and the John Parry, an American ship ; and this, it is said, is a small sample of the success that might be obtained all along the coast if the fishery were pushed in the manner it deserves. There are already, it appears, American visitants at King George's Sound, Twopeople Bay, and the Vasse, on the same expedi= tion, and they have also profited largely by the good fiisheries found in those places. Lord Edward Clinton, son of the Duke of Newcastle, died in June last, while on an outward passage to China. THE POISONING CASE AT MANCHESTER.—On Tuesday the jury found the woman, Mary Hunter, guilty of poisoning her husband, and she was committed to trial. MEDICAL PRIVILEGES.—II may be of importance to many, especially to those preparing for the medical profession, to know that degrees in medicine, or diplomas in surgery, of Scotch universities or colleges, confer no privileges out of Scotland—do not qualify for any surgical or medical appoint ment under the new poor law, the militia, or prison acts of parliament. The poor•law commi ss i oners have recently dis missed all those who hold Scotch diplomas from their offices under them. The late unhappy victim to opium in Dublin was, early in life, an artist of much promise. His name was not Moreau, but Morrand. His father was a native of the south of France, who settled at Newry, many years ago, and was a sugar refiner in that place. Morrand, senior, married a poung woman of Newry, and the subject of this notice was the eldest of foar children by that union, who, with their mother were lekanprovided for, and very young at their fa ther's decease. The late J. Morrand was too fond of in dulging imprudently in " inebriating cups." This led to a separation, long since, from a respectable young woman, to whom he had been married. He had settled at Southampton for nearly 20 years, and has had a very good business, but his habits of intemperance spoiled everything. A MARRIAGE FORBIDDEN. — A retired publican, named Pearse, residing at the eastern part of the metropolis, some time since separated from his wife, who, as be alleges, eloped from him with a green-grocer living in the neighbour hood, and went off to America. Since that period Mr. Pearse has paid his addresses to the daughter of a highly respectable tradesman at the east end, and Tuesday morning was fixed for the marriage ceremony, at Whitechapel Church. The bride and bridegroom, with one or two other friends, were in attendance, and the marriage ceremony is said to have been proceeding, when an elderly man and wo man rushed breathless into the church, and called on the clergyman to stop. These parties turned out to be the fa ther and mother of Mr. Pearse's first wife, who are also said to be in respectable circumstances. They forbade the mar riage, and having explained the circumstances uuder which they did so,' the officiating clergyman refused to proceed, and the parties, greatly disappointed, left the church. Determined not to be disappointed. Mr. Pearse, with the con sent of his intended, lost no time in procuring a license, and on Wednesday morning the " happy couple" drove up in a post-chaise to Trinity Church, New-road, and having pre sented the license to the Rev. Mr. Baker, th e offi c i a ti ng curate, the marriage was solemnized by that rev . gent l eman , the clerk accommodating the parties by becoming " father" to the young lady. The ceremony . had scarcely b een com pleted, and the post-chaise containing the new married couple was yet in sight, when a scene of the most indescribable up roar ensued at the church porch, in consequence of the ar rival of the parents of the bridegroom's first wife, who found to their dismay that they were 'gust five minutes too late." The riot made by them was such, that a vast crowd of per sons assembled. A vestryman, named Glasier, who happened to pop in at the moment and hear the tale, directed Blabv, one of the beadles, immediately to run for a policeman, and take the bridegroom into custody on a charge of bigamy; to which he received the laconic reply of—" La, sir, the lady and gentleman are by this time a mile or two on their road to Somersetshire," to which country it appeared Mr. Pearse had mentioned in the vestry-room he intended to convey his bride for the purpose of spending the honeymoon. The parents of the first and still living wife continued to storm most lustily, and her father declared he would immediately pursue the fugitives, and spend every farthing he possessed in bringing "the villain" to justice. NEW REGULATIONS FOR THE QUEEN' S PRISON.—The first division for the classification of the inmates of the Queen's Prison has been nearly completed, and the females will be shortly separated. At the extremity of the racket-ground a high wall has been erected, and no communication will be allowed with the other prisoners. The next part to be con verted will be a place of punishment, taking the wing where the coffee-house stands. The coffee-house is to be pulled down, and the centre of the prison reserved for the other prisoners until further alterations are made. It is said that the new regulations for the prison have been sanctioned by the Secretary of State, and will be speedily promulgated, so that those persons who prefer imprisonment to acting with honesty will be placed in a different position to what they have been in for many years. The rules have been framed under an act of Parliament passed in May last, under which act the Fleet and Marshalsea have been closed, and the pri soners removed to the Queen's Prison, w h ere i n f uture all commitments will take place from the Courts of Chan. eery, Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, Exchequer, Palace, as also from the Court of Bankruptcy, and persons tried by courts martial. The Fleet and Marshalsea were of great antiquity. All the documents relating to the two pri sons have been placed under the care of the marshal of the Queen's Prison, and a list supplied of the various benefac tions in food and money made to the inmates; which, with the funds available in the existing gaol, will be indiscrimi nately applied. By the eleventh section, all fe es hith erto payable by prisoners are abolished, except such as s h a ll b e mentioned by the new regulations. The twelfth clause is an important provision, and was framed to prevent p ersons spending their property "in the rules." From the passing of the act the " day rules " ceased ; and the liberty of the rules has been denied to persons who were subsequently committed. A petition during the discussion of the bill was presented by the rulers, claiming a kind q" vested interest," and the result was, that those who were in the enjoyment of the rules should possess them until May . next, tram which period they are finally to cease and determine. It is order e d by the seventeenth section, that the prisoners shall be classed, distinction being made in persons remanded by the Insolvent Debtors' Court, and others, as likewise in persons committed for libel. There is another provision which was much required. It bas happened that persons became insane after'their commitment, and there was no place to which they could be removed. By the fourteenth and fifteenth clauses, insane persons are to be removed to Bethlehem Hospital; and in case of an emergency, other prisoners may be removed to a place of safety. LAW MULLIONCS. COUIt,T OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—MONDAY, bic. 5. (Before Lord Chief Justice Dentnan and a Special Jurv.) HOWAED V. GOSSETT, BELLAMY, SLIEIN, AND MITCHELL. This was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff, who was the legal adviser of John Joseph Stockdale in the action brought by him about three years ago against Messrs. Han sard, the printers to the House of Commons, against the de fendants, who were the deputies of Sir W. Gossett, the Ser jean t-at-Arms of the House of Commons, to recover damages for having broken into and entered the dwelling house of the plaintiff on the 4th of February, 1840, remaining there several hours, and whilst there forcing open various locks and doors. The defendant put in the following pleas :—As to the breaking of the locks and doors, not guilty ; as to the rest, a plea to the following effect,—that on the 26th of January, 1840, the plaintiff was summoned before the House of Commons ; that he did not attend in pursuance of that summons, but secreted himself ; that on the 4th of February following it was resolved by the House that the Speaker should issue a warrant for the plaintiff to be brought up by the Serjeant-at-Arms ; that the warrant was accordinglyissued and delivered to Sir W. Gos sett, and was by him delivered to the defendants, who were his deputies ; and that they then proceeded to the defendant's house, searched it for the plaintiff, and remained there . The plaintiff, in his replication as to entering the house, denied the issuing of the warrant by the Speaker; and with respect to the other part of the plea, denied all except the warrant, which he admitted. Mr. Platt, Mr. Kelly, and Mr. Petersdorff, appeared for the plaintiff ; and the Attorney-General, the Solicitor- General, Mr. Crompton, and Mr. Pollock, for• the defendants. The case having been gone through at great length, the jury retired, and after 20 minutes' consultation returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £lOO. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. - MONDAY, DEC. 5. LIBEL.7SIMON V. BALDWIN. The plaintiff is a merchant and landowner in the island ofJer sey, and brother of the French Consul there. The defendant is the proprietor of the London Standard newspaper; and the present action is brought to recover damages for injury done to his character by an imputation of fraudulent practices in the corn trade between Jersey and Great Britain. The alleged libel was contained in a letter signed " A Loyalist," and published in the Standard of the 14th March last, in which the writer affirmed that the plaintiff was in the habit of importing Prussian and French corn into the Channel is lands as if for consumption there, under which pretence it was imported duty free ; and that he exported the same corn to England, where it was again admitted duty free as Jersey corn. A witness, M. Gragnean, from Jersey, was examined to show that the arrangements respecting the trade in corn to and from Jersey were so strict that the fraud alleged could not have been committed. The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages £2OO. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS.—TUESDAY. (Before Sir LANCELOT SHADWELL.) A case was argued at considerable length, in which the title to property of large amount was contested on the ques tion whether Mr. John Gildhart, formerly of Liverpool, who had the misfortune to be deaf and dumb, could be held capable of acquiring a vested interest in the freehold and copyhold estates devised by his father, Francis Gildhart. John was described in the pleading as of sound intellect, despite his organic defect; but it was contended that as his father by appointing in his will, made when the son was 32 years of age, trustees for the disbursement of moneys for his maintenance, and for the education, &c., of his children in case he should marry, appeared to have regarded him as dis qualified from managing his own affairs, it could not be sup posed that be should have considered him capable of being a party to the transmission of the property. Sir L. Shadwell, having referred to the provisions of the will, and observing that the testator throughout contemplated as probable the contingency of his son marrying said he did not see how he could suppose the testator to have considered his son capable of exercising the discretion of disposing of his property, although, as a father, he might have been of opinion that he stood in need of some control in the management of his affairs while living. Be therefore declared the reversion to have vested in the son, John Gildhart. DUBLIN COURT OF DELEGATES—WEDNESDAY, THE DEANERY OF SAINT PATRICK'S. Wilson v. Daly. The Court of Delegates met this morning in the Queen's Bench, for the purpose of hearing arguments in reference to Doctor Todd's vote, which had ben recorded at the election in favour of Doctor Wilson. _ Mr. Sergeant Keating was heard in opposition to the vote. The question resolved itself into this, viz. :—Whether Dr. Todd, having been appointed to discharge the duties of the office of Treasurer of St. Patrick's, under the church tempo ralities act, 4 and 5, William IV., chapter 90, was entitled to vote at the recent election for a Dean of St. Patrick's. The learned sergeant contended at great length that the question depended on the construction of the temporalities' act, together with the act of the 3rd and 4th Wt,. IV., cap. 37, taken in connection with the charter of restitution of the Ist and 2nd Philip and Mary, by which the only charter of foundation of the cathedral which had been surrendered to Henry VIII. had been restored. The learned sergeant con tended with great force and ability that, taking all these acts together, Dr. Todd was not entitled to vote. Henry Martley, Esq., Q.C., was heard in support of the vote, and having concluded his argument, the court adjourned until Friday morning, at half -past ten, when this long litigated questions will be brought to a conclusion, the court having intimated its intention of giving judgment on that day. THE WEATHER.—During the whole of Wednesday the me tropolis was enveloped in a dense fog, rendering it necessary to use artificial light in all the city offices and warehouses. The temperature throughout the day was much colder than on Monday, and the market waggons from the suburban dis tricts were covered with hoar-frost. , Lady Peat, widow of the Rev. Sir Robert Peat, chaplain to King George IV, died, at Bishopwearmouth, on Saturday, in her 90th year. Her eccentricities as Miss Smith, of East Herrington, and the firing of her house and murder of her servant girl by some criminal yet unknown, are familiar to most of our readers. THE EDUCATION QumTioN.—The Archbishop of Ar magh, the Bishops of Meath, Kildare, Clogher, Kilmore, Down and Connor, Cork, Killaloe and Ossory, have issued an address, in which they state that Sir Robert Peel and her Majesty's government have resolved to recommend to par liament the continuance of the educational parliamentary I grant, and do not intend to promote any grant for a Church Education Society. THE GALLANT 3Orn REGIMENT.-0 the occasion of the 30th depot firing a feu de joie commemorative of the success of our arms in China, a gentleman accosted another in the street to inquire the object of the firing? " Don't you know," he replied, " tbat our old friend, Sir Hugh Gough, has compelled the Chinese to give us their Congou and Bo hea teas in exchange for our gunpowder?—and the 30th depot is just discharging their samples.—Galway Vindicator. PILCHARD FISHERY.—We had thought the pilchard fish ery to have been over for this season, but it seems their fare well visit had not been paid. They made their appearance again in St. Ives Bay, on Wednesday last, when, to use an old fisherman's expression, the bay was full of fish. Four seines are now (Thursday) in the water with from 8,000 to 10,000 hhds of fish in them. It is an extraordinary circum stance, but the southern coasts of the county, Mount Bay, &c., where such immense numbers used formerly to be taken, are now, and have been for several seasons, destitute of fish, whilst the northern coasts appear to swarm with them.—Sherborne and Yeovil. Mercury. The public will be rejoiced to find, that the omission of Sir Robert Sale's name, in the honorary distinctions granted to the heroes of our late achievements in India, proceeds in no degree from a desire to underrate the merits of that gal lant officer. Sir Robert Sale very recently received the Grand Cross of the Bath for his noble defence of Jellalabad, and other eminent services on the north-west frontier of India, and it was therefore impossible to give him the same distinction which, has been conferred on General Pollock, General Nott, and Sir William Parker; but it has been notified to the Governor-General of India, in compliance with his recommendation, that it will be proposed to parlia ment to grant to Sir Robert and Lady Sale, with the benefit of survivorship, an annual pension of £5OO, as a special public recognition of signal merit. LORD HILL.—We regret to learn that his Lordship, after recovering from his last illness in London, since he has been at Hardwick, his seat near this town, has suffered a relapse. His illness was first occasined by too anxious and unre mitting attention to his official duties. On Wednesday last his Lordship rallied, and had a better night's rest. The feelings of humanity and love of his country in his Lordship's bosom are as ardent as ever. When the despatches from China and Affghanistan had been read to him by his nephew, Sir R. Hill, his Lordship testified the delight be felt that Providence had crowned the arms of his country with success, and, above all, with the bless ing of peace. Let us then ar dently hope that, as the ai r of his nati v e coun t r y, an d th e sight of the Wrekin, occas ioned his Lordship's health to re turn on his arrival in Shropshire, so the inspiring intelligence of his country's triumphs may renovate his spirit and invigo rate his frame. —Shrewsbury Chronicle. GOING AHEAD I—Allured by the success of the art-unions in various places at borne and abroad, " the directors of the Royal Polytechnic Institution" have projected an enlarged design something of a similar nature. The prospectus being analysed, announced neither more nor less than the annual lottery, tickets 205., to be distributed in prizes of works of art and science, selected by the Goodlucks, Bishes, and Hazards of the Institution ; and even the blanks are to be engravings worth more than the price of the ticket. Among the temptations to the risk are not only paintings, sculpture, and bronzes, but quadrants and sextants, harps, fiddles, and pianofortes, and collections of shells and minerals. The plan is ingenious, but not new. We remember an itinerant lottery-proprietor who went on exactly the same principle. only be was attended . bir a witty clown ; his great prizes were watches, sheep, cheeses, pieces of cloth for inexpressibles, &c. ; and his blanks were all scissors or penknives, which in the drawing were sonorously announced under the denomi nation of " Prize vally (value) eightpence;" and, sooth to say, these sounds were very rarely interrupted by the words watch, sheep, cheese, or b—ches piece. , GRAND JUNCTION CANAL COMPANY.—The half-yearly general assembly of the proprietors in this undertaking was held on Tuesday, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, London ; Sir Wm. Eden in the chair. The report of the committee states, that the net tonnages for the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1842, amount to £51,512, being £10,276 less than in the preceding six months, and £5,415 less than in the corresponding period of the preceding year. This falling off in the revenue was to be attributed to the general depres sion of trade throughout the country. The committee, how ever, had to inform the proprietors, that although the reve nue had been thus diminished, yet in consequence of the reduction of expenses which had been made in the working of the canal, amounting to nearly £B,OOO, the balance in the hands of the company amounted to £44,882, being £3,836 greater than the balance of the same period of the preceding year. The committee, therefore, recommended the declara tion of a dividend of £3 10s. for the half-year, amounting to £40,092, 'cawing a balance of £4,789, out of which the In come Tax would be paid, and the remainder carried to the account for new works, A sum of £5,609 bad lately been expended for repairs on 135 miles of the canal. The report having been received and adopted, the meeting separated. On Thursday morning, the Rev. Mr. Montgomery left Wilton House, with Earl Bruce, for the purpose of looking over a new church at Bishopstone. During the preceding week the eastern portion had been covered in with a stone vault, and the construction had been carefully examined by the architect, and by persons connected with the works, and they unanimously considered it to be perfectly secure. At half-past one o'clock, Mr. Montgomery, accompanied by Earl Bruce, the Rev. Mr. Ward, his nephew, Mr. Gabriel, Mr. Ferry, the architect, the clerk of the works, and the contractor, entered to inspect' the new church, from which the centres of the arches had been removed the same morn ing. They had not advanced many paces, when a crack was heard, and the arch fell in to the extent of about eight feet of the whole width of the nave. The Rev. Mr. Ward es caped by sprining into one of the side aisles, and Mr. Ga briel secured himself in the other; but Mr. Montgomery unhappily moved towards the centre, and was completely co vered by the falling mass, and life was immediately extinct. Independently of fractures of the skull, both in the forehead and at the base, there was a compound fracture of the left thigh, and the right arm was broken close to the elbow. The estimated weight of the stone which fell is three tons. An inquest has been held on the body, and a verdict of " Acci dental Death" teturned.—Saliabtol/ paper. 'bptng reUtice.

WARitINGTON CORN MARRE'T', Total quantities. Total amount. Price. Wheat, qrs. Barley Oats SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 7. There was again only a very moderate show of good beasts, but of fine sheep a good one. The best Beef and Mutton brought pre. vious rates, but inferior very dull, and a trifle lower again. Nearly all sold up. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Due. G. The demand for Cotton to-day is very fair, and the market; wears a very healthy aspect ; about 3,000 bales sold at full prices. COTTON MARKET, DECEMBER 8, The report of our market cannot be couched in terms quite so satisfactory as of late, and the real position is this. At this season of the year, holders generaly are anxious to close their accounts, and thus more Cotton is brought into the market than the demand requires. Spinners aware of this, keep aloof, and only purchase sparingly, thus they are enabled to supply themselves on rather better terms than last week, for although the market appears quiet, and the daily amount of business does not exceed 2500 to 4000 bales, yet there is a healthiness of tone about it that gives con fidence to all parties of a general return to a good and re munerative trade. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, DECEMBER 8, 1842. In consequence of contrary winds, the arrival of Potatoes into port, has only been limited since our report this day week, whieh has in some instances enabled sellers of the best descriptions of Cups to realize an advance of is per 901 b above our last quotations, although this is not acceded to by our large town retail buyers, they being enabled to lay in their stOcks on lower terms from our local markets for farm produce, and from the neighbouring county of Cheshire, which materially checks the retail sale at this quay. There is not one single cargo sold during the past week for re shipment into the interior. The best run of Cups are selling, in retail, at from 14d to 15d middling descriptions, lad to 14d; and inferior, lid to 123 d per goib. There has nothing worthy of notic occurred in our local markets for the past seven days. Potatoes 9 s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

The arrivals here since this day week, consist chiefly of a limited supply of Wheat, Oats, and Flour, and a further large increase of Oatmeal from Ireland, those coastwise being still very small. During 'the same period, the imports from abroad comprise merely, 2,300 qrs. of Wheat, and 1,780 qrs. of Beans from Egypt, 35 qrs. of Wheat, and 100 bags of Flour from Valparaiso; with 100 qrs. of the former, and 2772 barrels of the latter from Canada. Although we have to report a slender attendance of coun try millers at this day's market, a moderate quantity of foreign free Wheat was disposed of to our local buyers at the rates of last week ; and prime samples of Irish, in the face of short supplies at hand, partially realised a slight tempo rary advance; good fair runs, however, being offered at late prices, we are hardly justified in raising our quotations for these descriptions, especially as farmers' Wheat, of which the show was more abundant than usual, met a dull sale at a decline of 2d. to 3d. per 70 lbs. English and Irish Flour, upon a limited demand, was ra ther cheaper, and foreign, moving very sparingly, hardly maintained former prices. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease continued to rule in much the same languid state as described in our last report, and to effect sales beyond a retail amount, rather lower terms must have been conceded. The Oat trade being less buoyant than on Friday, superior qualities alone supported our last currency, all other sorts giving way a little in value. In Oatmeal, likewise, the operations to-day were by no means extensive, but holders remaining firm, the rates of this day se'nnight were unvaried.
