10 Utrraturr. POETRY. " MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY." BY ELIZA COOK. Merry words, merry words! ye come bursting around, Telling all that affection can say ; 'Tis the music of heart-chords that dwells in the sound, • " Many happy returns of the day." The red cheek of the child is more rich in its glow, And the bright eye more swift in its ray, When his mates hail his birth in their holiday mirth, And drink, " Happy returns of the day." The old man may smile while he listens, and feel He hath little time longer to stay ; Still he liketh to hear from the lips that are dear, " Many happy returns of the day." Though Misfortune is nigh, let the kind words float by, And something of Hope will spring up, That the hand of the Future may drain off the gall, And some nectar drops yet fill our cup. If we bast: in Content, while another short year Is recorded with eloquent bliss, How we prize the fond wishes, all gladly sincere, That come round with the soul pledging kiss. Oh ! our place in the world will be chilly and drear, When our natal-tide passes away Without rite to remember or breathe in our ear, " Many happy returns of the day." There are moments when memory cruelly brings The grim spectres of joy back again, • When sorrow malignantly sharpens her stings Till we quiver and bleed with the pain; And the spirit will groan in such moments as this, When our loudly-hailed birthday shall fall, But among the warm greetings there's one that we miss, And that one was the dearest of all. What would we not give if the grave would restore The dear form it hath wrested away, If the voice of the lost one could wish us once more, " Many happy returns of the day." There are moments when truth and devotion increase, Till they burn in the crucible breast With an increase and might that we know not the light Of our smouldering feeling possessed ; And that flame will be vividly flashing out thus When we welcome returns of the time That gave some loved beings to life and to us, The sweet bells in mortality's chime. Then a garland, a bumper, a dance, and a feast, Let the natal-tide come when it may, Be it autumn or spring, a gay chorus we'll sing— " Many happy returns of the day." MUSIC. Oh, Music! echo from a far, harmonious world! In our dumb bosoms, Thou, the Angel's sigh ! If human speech, if quick'ned glance should fail To ease the laden bosom of its tale— If our hearts, lonesome pris'ners, pining, lie, In cell unburst, from whence they fain would fly— ( )11, then 'tis thou, by whom the cheerless captives greet, By whom their distant sighs in lonely union meet ! Liverpool. H. FICK. SE LECTIONS. LUTHER'S CONVENT.—We breakfasted this morning at Erfurt, and made duteous pilgrimage to the Augustine Convent, which Luther inhabited as a monk. In the church, he said his first mass ; and it remains in the same state, with a rude old pulpit in which Luther preached, and carved wooden galleries. His cell is preserved as when he lived in it. It is like conventual cells all over the world, a small square high chamber. Here is the Bible that he first found in the library of the convent ; studying which his powerful mind began to perceive the errors of the church to which he belonged. The convent is now used as an orphan house.—Mrs. Shelley's Rambles. A CONNOISSEURS CONCEIT REBUKED.—Hudson, the portrait-painter, master of Sir Joshua, was so fortunate as to obtain a fine impression cf the very rare etching by Rembrandt, called the " Coach Landscape." On occa sion of this acquisition, be gave a supper to his amateur friends, at which to display his purchase. Benjamin Wilson, his brother painter, who had a good judgment this branch of art, and knew Hudson had very little, though affecting great enthusiasm for it, amused himself at his expense. He etched a plate in the style of Rem brandt, and sent an impression to Paris, circulating a re port at home that there had been discovered in France a print, by Rembrandt, hitherto unknown, and apparently a companion to the Coach Landscape ;' that money bad been offered for it for the king's collection, but that the proprietor meant to bring it to England for sale. Hud son, therefore, to anticipate his friends, hastened over to Paris, and bought the print. On his return, be collect d all his amateur friends in London to a second supper, given especially for the purpose of receiving their congra tulations, which he received accordingly. Very shortly after this, the whole of the same party, and Hudson with them, were invited to a supper at Wilson's. When all were introduced to the supper- table, every plate was found turned down, and on the guests lifting t hem, behold un der every one an impression of the unhappy companion of the " Coach Landscape," and under Hudson's plate lay the money that he had paid to Wilson's confederate in Paris for the purchase.—The Print Collector. THE WELL OF JACOB AND TOMB OF JOSEPH.-011 our descending this hill of blessing (Dent. xi. 29), and such, I trust, we experienced it to be on this interesting occasion, we went about a mile further to see the well of Jacob, where our Lord conversed with the woman of Samaria, and declared the great truth, that " salvation is of the Jews." Of the fact that the "well was deep," and that something was required wherewith to draw up the water, we had evidence before we came to it; for our guide was greatly disappointed when, on repeated inquiry, whilst we rode along towards the well, he found we were unprovided with a long rope, &c., and proposed to go back to the town to fetch one ; but, being pressed for time, we gave up the point, and gratified ourselves by merely seeing its surface, whilst some of our party went into a pit, and convinced themselves of its depth by throwing down a stcne. There is now, I believe, no water in it ; and the mouth of the well is kept closed with a large stone. There was something so striking in this scene, that it brought us back to the time of our Saviour, and we could fully realise all ttat is related in John iv. Near it is the beautiful and fertile plain of Moreh, which at once reminds one of the parcel of ground which Jacob gave to his son Joseph, whose tomb is also near, which we visited. There are several Hebrew and Samaritan in scriptions on the same. The whole is kept very neat and in good repair by the bounty of Jews who visit this tomb of Joseph. On our return to our encpmlment, we found all ready for starting, and, after two hours' ride, we came to Sebaste, the ancient Samaria, beautifully situated on the top of a hill, where there is a fine rain of an ancient church, in which the Turks have a mosque. The village is poor and insignificant, but the situation very fine and commanding. I was greatly interested in this trip, which I hope to repeat, in order to make myself better acquaint ed with it, as it is only two short days' journey from Jerusalem. The situation of Nablous is very striking, having the mountains of Gerizim and Ebal one on each side.--Bishop Alexander. A NARROW ESCAPE.—A. few months ago, Roger Ed wards, a missionary, residing at Kuruman, had a narrow escape from lions near this place. He was on his way from the colony ; and after residing at Daniels Kuil, he had set out, with the intention of riding to the Kuruman in the night, having a led horse, and being accompanied by a Hottentot who rode a mare, by the side of which a foal was running. Just as he arrived at some large scat tered bushes, a sudden impression on his mind induced him to alight from his horse, saying to the Hottentot that they would stop there. The Hottentot accordingly dis mounted; they took off their saddles, knee-haltered the horses, turned them loose to feed, and lay down under one of the bushes. They had not been there many mi nutes, when the mare screamed ; they listened, and a lion roared ; they raised themselves upon their knees ; the horses having got clear of their knee-halters, galloped past them, taking the road towards Kuruman; the mare followed as fast as she could, but her knee-halter had been too tight to allow her to release herself from it ; they were followed by four lions, at full speed ; a fifth stopped short, and gazed for some time at the travellers, as if deliberating whether to spring upon them, or to fol low the others. The moon was just setting, but it still cast sufficient light to enable them to distinguish the ter rific beast. The Hottentot in alarm, began to make a noise, but was immediately hushed by the missionary, whose knees, though kneeling, smote together, and who said, if ever he prayed in sincerity, it was then, though it was a silent prayer. He thought five minutes might elapse while they were thus situated, but remarked, that it might not be so much, as, under such circumstances. minutes necessarily seemed long. The lion at length sprang upon the path, and went after the others. The cries of the mare were heard at a distance, more and more faintly, till they ceased. The missionary and the Hot tentot agreed to listen, lest the lions should return ; as, in case of such an event, a few low trees near them afforded a forlorn hope of escape ; but, overpowered by fatigue and fear, they fell asleep, and did not awake till dawn of day.--Backhouse's Visit to the Mauritius. POWER OF O'CONNELL TO CONTROL AGITATED IRE LAND.-It has been alleged that the power which is suffi cient to regulate the motion of the masses, will be finally able to restrain its action. This assertion discovers a complete ignorance of the physiology of revolution. The agitators will discover, it they be permitted to proceed, that in the manufacture of treason there is a division of labour ; that the men who excite the passions of a multi tude in peace are not those who guide its material energy in rebellion. Cromwell and Ireton were unheard of un til the mission of Pym and Hampden was complete. Washington was comparatively unknown when Franklin talked of passive resistance before a committee of the House of Commons. The eloquence of the Girondists preceded and prepared the way for the daggers of the Ja cobins. Tone and Sheares followed Grattan and Flood. Yet Mr. O'Connell fancies he can stop the torrent of events, destroy the connexion between cause and effect, usurp the power of the deity; ruling events and govern ing circumstances. When parties are excited, the peace of society depends on the forbearance of the violent, and the discreti on o f t h e f oo li s h, a stone fl ung b y a c hild— a blow struck by a peasant mi g ht have the same effect on he communit y as a spark would on a magazine of gun powder. If the potato culture be extended ; if the threat Of confiscation were made the reality of robbery ; if the plunder of the landlords, the only untried means of the moral force system, were being perpetrated ;—while, in that contingency, the rights of property should be vindi cated even if an unpaid debt were made a capital felony, f )r the rights of property should he asserted, at any cost, to prevent the nation returning through anarchy to bar barism,) when the summary power of ejectment would be followed by clearance and consolidation ; when the ques tion wculd be between famine and the sword ; when the peasant would have but the choice of martyring himself and his family by starvation , or resisting coercion by force; DIRE human being say ther e shall be no rebellio n in my day, that its crimes and its cruelties, its misery and devastation shall be legacies of the d ead, not gifts of the living ?—.Dublin University Magazine. - •~ A FIERY-VISAGED GHOST.—Garments hung upon pegs in bed-rooms are often taken for ghostly figures. Sir , Walter Scott relates a remarkable instance of this as hay- I ing occurred to himself; and many persons have been si milarly deceived. We have heard of a gentleman of ner vous temperament being haunted by a colossal figure robed and turbaned like a Turk, and having a fiery visage. Night after night did this gaunt apparition present itself. The visitation at length became intolerable, and the suf ferer, terrified into courage, (" For men as resolute appear With too much, as too little, fear,") resolved desperately to attack the disturber of his noctur nal slumbers. It would not do to let his impulse cool; so he jumped cut of bed, rushed towards the phantom, seized it—and found the window-curtain in his grasp. The fiery face turned out to be a large brass knob, over which the upper part of the curtain was thrown.—Ains sew' th's Magazine. O'CONNELL'S INFLUENCE AS A DEMAGOGUE EXA MINED.—O'ConneII, it is alleged, enjoys greater influence over multitudes, greater power of swaying the masses than any man who has ever existed ; and, that even, the mob attribute of fickleness has been suspended towards him ; that his popularity has been as uniform as it has been great. He cannot be assimilated, it is true, to Pericles, the Gracchi, Cromwell, Washington, Mirabeau, or Grat tan—to the patriot or demagogue, to the soldier or orator of this list—to any of those prime movers or guides of na• tions. Among a population, that possessed the power of reasoning,- or even the liberty of caprice, his influence would not endure for a year. The one would expect ar gument, the other would demand novelty, neither of which he could supply. Had he been born amid a people of either judgment or taste ; he would have remained un known. His ignorance of political philosophy would have kept him in obscurity, where political information was diffused ; his coarsene:ss of language would have disgusted where refinement was cultivated. The influence of Father Mathew could not exist in France, Britain, or America. In those countries the stern scepticism of knowledge has prostrated the political superstition, that places idolatrous reliance upon the regenerating power of a man, his type is to be looked for and may be found in a semi.barbarous age. Mr. O'Connell's career is supposed to be without precedent, because we seek for an example of it in civi lised periods, among refined nations. Peter the Hermit, who lived during the energetic frenzy of the eleventh cen tury, at least equalled Mr. O'Connell in his power of col lecting and influencing immense multitudes and even of controlling them ; until his mobs, those human Veers, tasted blood—then the influence of the spiritual Van Am burgh ceased. The unnamed Hungarian who, during the captivity of St. Louis, carried the letter of the blessed Virgin in his clenched hand, gathered, directed, and ex cited by his eloquence, crowds in many instances of more than an hundred thousand men, the movement of the Pastors in France, and the Jacquerie in England, during the reign of Richard 11. are examples of the aggregation of numbers and the influence of individual character, in consistent with civilisation. The history of the middle ages are full of such examples. To sway an ignorant rab ble requires neither abilities of a high order, nor eloquence of an elevated kind; the success of an agitator depends more on the disposition of his audience than on the powers of his own mind. To flatter the prejudices of ig norance—to delude inexperience —to promise benefits, which are incapable of realisation—to excite to crime, by misleading passion—and to cause hatred, by calumniating virtue, neither demands great genius nor lofty eloquence (and who cannot but rejoice that such prostitution of in tellect is unnecessary) : sin and fluency are only required. —Dublin University Magazine. LOUIS PHILIPPE AT PARIS AFTER A LONG ABSENCE. —At the fall of Napoleon in 1814, Louis Philippe (then the wandering Duke of Orleans) was at Palermo, and on hearing of that event on the 23d of April in that year, the Duke left immediately, and on the 18th of May was in Paris, which he had not seen for more than 20 years. The Duke's first care, on his return to Paris, was to pay a stolen visit to the home of his fathers. The porters, who still continued to wear the Imperial livery, were with difficulty induced to permit a stranger, and clad also in the costume of Sicily, to penetrate the innermost apart ments of the palace; but the earnestness with which he pursued his survey left them little leisure to question him as to his objects. As he approached the grand staircase, the recollections of his boyhood, the lustre of his ancient race, the agonies of mind he had endured since he hot beheld that spot, and gratitude to that Providence which had spared him amidst such universal ruin, completely overwhelmed him, and, falling prostrate on the tesse!ated pavement, he imprinted a thousand kisses on the cold white marble, while tears gushing from his eyes indicated, while they relieved, the emotions with which he contend ed. The attendants of the palace looked on this scene of fervent feeling with surprise, some imagining that it was the workings of frenzy or of folly ; but, on being informed that it was the long-exiled and sole surviving son of Ega lite—the Ulysses of modern ages—whom they beheld en tering the palace of his fathers after his wanderings over Europe and America, pity was superseded by admiration. On the following day - Louis Philippe was presented to the King at the Palace of the Tuileries, in his Sicilian costume, not choosing to wait for a French court suit, lest his Majesty might imagine that he had not been suf ficiently diligent in appearing amongst the Royal Family. As the Duke approached, Louis XVIII. descended, and, advancing towards him, said, " Your Highness was a Lieutenant-General in the service of your country 25 years ago, and you are still the same." The King had actually appointed him to this rank three days before his arrival in Paris. " Sire," replied the Duke, " I shall henceforth present myself before your Majesty in this uniform." From this period the Duke of Orleans ob served the utmost caution in every movement. He pro bably perceiced, from the policy pursued by the restored family, and the character and temper of the nation, the course which events would probably take. Upon the return of Napoleon, the Duke was active in his adherence to the Royal cause ; but he directly opposed a proposition to raise a civil war. He endeavoured to retain the sol diers in the army of the north in fidelity to the King, but the magic of the Emperor's name extinguished the faint loyalty of men who had nothing to connect them with the Bcurbon family but the abstract idea of legitimacy. He resigned the command of the army to Marshal Mortier, and left France, he supposed for ever, to "bury himself," as he expressed it, "in retirement and oblivion." He returned to his former residence at Twickenham.—Life of Louis Philippe. COMPETITION IN GAS AND WATER COMPANIES. — In the evidence taken before the Commissioners of In quiry into the state of large towns and populous districts, Mr. Hawksley, Engineer of the Nottingham Water works, states an opinion which goes counter, in some degree, to common prejudices, and will strike most per sons as novel, but is, nevertheless, we are persuaded, worthy of attention. Speaking of gas-works for small towns, where the expense of an act of parliament cannot be afforded, he states that, often when such works have been commenced and are doing well, competitors step in and ruin the prospects of the original adventurers. Hence there is a reluctance to invest money in such works, with out an act protecting from competition. Being asked what is the operation of this introduction of a second company, Mr. Hawksley answers :—" Usually injurious to the interests of the proprietors and of the public. Two capitals become invested ; two sources of wear and tear are created ; two managements, and two complete sets of officers must be maintained ; two causes of loss and leakage are established ; for all which the public must and do ultimately pay, as well as for the enormously expensive conflict to obtain the act of p ar li amen t, an d f or the rivalry and strife of several subsequent years. It may be mentioned that in some districts of London, three, four, or five companies have pipes, and are occup i e d i n performing the service which might be quite as effectually rendered by one, and perhaps by that one, under proper supervision, at half the cost of the present supply. These companies seldom continue in active competition for long periods. Finding the competition ruinous, they coalesce openly, or enter into a private understanding, by which the public are deprived of the benefits of the supposed competition. The charges are either increased, or remain fixed much above those at which a single company would willingly supply. It may be a ffi rmed that the metr o p ol i s might, under proper arrangements be efficiently supplied with gas at ss. per thousand feet, instead of at the Bs. or 9s. now charged; and yet the companies are in general ill remunerated for the capital they have invested and the risk they have encountered ; and this evil arises solely from the great amount of capital brought into the field to encourage competition, and to satisfy the complaints against a monopoly which exists only in consequence of the omission of parliament to subject single companies to a supervising authority, competent to afford an equal pro tection to the interests of the public and of such compa nies. Actually at Manchester, where there is but one gas-work (one under the management of the public), the charge for gas per 1,000 cubic feet is ss. 2d. In Liver pool, where there are two companies, the price is 6s. 2d. Yet, notwithstanding the lower price and smaller manu facture, Mancl-ester has been enabled to apply to the im provement of the town, and in increase of assets, as much as the two 10 per cent. dividends of the Li v erpo o l com panies—` thus showing that two companies will cost the public 20 per cent. more than one company.'" For a further illustration of the principle, Mr. Hawksley adduces the case of the city of Glasgow, i n respec t to its gas-works. " That city was supplied by one company , which, as its consumption of gas and its works extended, went on reducing its charges. The quality of its gas was proved and admitted to be excellent, the p r i ce very reasonable, and the manufacturing power more than suf ficient. But its supposed prosperity excited the cupidity of another body of speculators, who, hoping that they might share the extending field of supply, made applica tion for a private act. The diminished and diminishing price was incontrovertible; but the company had refused to supply consumers during the day, on the ground that the expense of a day supply to the few consumers requir ing it, would, from the leakage of the extensive system of pipes to be kept charged for that purpose, be wholly dis proportionate to the return. This, along with other minor allegations, was thought to justify the resolution that the preamble of the bill was proved, and that a fur ther supply to the city was needed. Now, the conse quence was this, that a further capital of £150,000, or more, has been driven into a field where i t i s almost en tirely superfluous. The interest of this capital must and will be charged on the public within the field where i t is obtruded. By the introduction of this other company the cost of the gas will be increased or kept up at least Is. Bd. per 1,000 cubic feet, even although the consump tion of gas should increase so much as 30 percent. This will of course constitute a permanent tax, in whatever form it may arise." The principle concerned in 'these cases is, we believe, fully established in political economy : further illustrations of it may be found in a paper en titled " Competition," in the eleventh volume of this journal. And practically, we have no doubt it would be advantageous to the public to have water and gas suppl ied in all instances by one company, if proper provisions could be made to insure to the community the benefit (sf a a t m a i p n r o m v e o m d e e r n a t t e i n r a t t h e e o c f o p m r o p fi a n t.

The steam-ship Britannia, Captain Hewitt, which was telegraphed off Holyhead, yesterday afternoon, arrived at ten o'clock last night. She sailed from Boston on the let, and from Halifax on the 3d instant, and has made an-ex cellent passage. She has brought 50 passngers, the names of whom we subjoin: LIST OF PASSENGERS BY THE BRITANNIA. — From Roston:—Mr. J. S. Petrie and lady, Mr. Ward, Mr. C. Moran, Mr: R. J. Thomas, Mr. A. F. D.

Stewart, and Mr. Phillips. The news brought by the Britannia is of very little im portance (except the markets.) NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, Monday, Sept. 30. The Stock Market was very firm to-day. The sales were to a very fair extent, and the feeling in Wall-street much better than we have noticed for some time past. The domestic trade of the country has become established principally upon an exchange of products instead of an exchange of bank bills, and the exchanges of merchandize has much reduced brokerage in the city. The market closes with a fair demand for sterling exchange. The closing rates range as high as at any time through the season, with every probability of rising still higher. There is so large a proportion of our import trade carried on by foreign commission houses, that they are com pelled to use their own business paper to make remittances as soon as their owners on the other side require. This will brobably advance rates for bilk, and may compel drawers to make remittances. There is a great difficulty experienced in obtaining Mexican dollars, all the Canadian banks having been clra'ned for Europe as well as the Uni ted States, on which the New York Herald makes some very pungent remarks—asserting that it is a dangerous expedient to arrest the ruin that to many was fast ap proaching, the result of which might be ten-fold more injurious than the evil itself. COTTON TRADE AT NEW YORK.—This market has, within the last fortnight, exhibited a firmer tone than for some time previous. The receipts artbis port have been limited, and the rates have been gradually improv ing.. Business is quite active in the southern markets, and we may soon expect activity in this. The receipts at ports of the U. S. since Sept. 1, 1844, have been 26.700 bales, and were in the same period last year 11,850 bales, which was however, about 7,000 bales less than the previous year. The receipts at the New York markets from the Ist were 7,563 bales; the exports 24.380 bales, of which 4,800 were taken by spinners, and 360 by speculators. The stock on hand amounts to 35,000 bales, and that on sale to 7,000. We annex quotations now current in this market : LIVERPOOL CLASSIFICATION. Inferior. Ordinary . Upids. 8 Flor. N. 0.

When, however, the last accounts reach every market, we shall be able to tell with more accuracy what the prices for the ensuing season may be. PROVISIONS.—With the exception of butter, there ap pears to be a limited demand for provisions. Prime country beef fetches 3 dots. a 3 dols. 121; Prime Ohio Pork, 7 dots. 50 a 7 dols. 621. These rates show a de cline. Ohio Lard is rather dull at 51 a 6 cents for bar rels, and 6,1 a 61c. for kegs. Orange County butter 13 al5 cents ; Western Dairy 81 all cent. There is a fair demand at these rates. Cheese 41 a 5 cents. NEW AMERICAN CONSUL FOR LIVERPOOL.—We understand from Washington, that Mr. Adams, a private gentleman from Virginia—an old friend of the President, has been appointed to the vacant Consulship of Liver pool.—New York Herald. Politics run very high, and both parties are confident of success. A few weeks will settle the question as to the Presi dency. LATEST FROM CANADA. Our last accounts from Canada are of an tinusally interesting kind ; society ap pears to be violently agitated, and fraught with symptoms of another dangerous crisis in the affairs of that country. The newspapers are teeming with partisan views. violent abuse of their polit;cal opponents, and the rallying cry of their respective parties. On the ministerial side, bold and unhesitating charges of disloyalty, and an ultimate intention to bring about a separation from the mother country, are made against the opposition ; the latter re ply in terms of recrimination not less characterized by acerbity and determination._ DISSOLUTION OF THE CANADIAN PARLIAMENT. — The last mail brought us news that the Canadian Parlia ment bad been dissolved, and writs issued for a new election.—Halifax Post. The news of O'Connell's liberation was celebrated at Halifax by bonfires and a procession by his country men. No less than forty square rigged vessels from various vas of the United Kingdom arrived in this port during tast week, and a great number are now on their passage hitherward. We can cheerfully say, " Come on !" the more the merrier !—St. John Observer. The Naval General Court Martial, at Washington, was still engaged with the investigation of the circumstances connected with the burning of the United States steamer Missouri. A number of witnesses have been examined during the last few days. By advices from Mexico it appeared that the town of Matamoras had been destroyed by a hurricane. It oc curred on the night of the 4th ult., and was more tre mendous in its effects than the hurricanes of 1835 and 1837. More than two-thirds of the houses of the city were more or less injured. As to the extent of the loss of life we are not accurately informed. The correspon dent of El Censor de Vera Cruz estimates the whole loss at above two hundred souls. As to the preparations which Mexico is making for the invasion of Texas, we can learn very little of a definite nature. That active operations are going on in enlisting and equipping troops there is no doubt. But our personal informants and our correspondents seem to question whether the con quest of Texas be the object in view. There would seem to be one other, and that is plainly indicated in some of our letters—to make Santa Anna dictator. But this is a subject on which we shall not be long left in the dark.— Boston paper. EARTHQUAKE AT TRINIDAD.—The schooner Sarah, at Baltimore from St. Thomas, September 11, brings in telligence that on the 30th August, about three o'clock a.m., the inhabitants of Trinidad were roused from sleep by the shock of an earthquake, the violende of which far exceeded that of any other they have ever experienced, except the one of 1825. Great fears were entertained for the safety of the town, but no material damage was sus tained. The deepest anxiety was manifested on behalf of the adjacent islands, from neither of which had any posi tive information been obtained up to the time of the Sarah's leaving, on the 3d Sept. .7 ,„ .• • ~ •s •~:,~ THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. TOWN EDITION. SPLENDED PASSAGE OUT OF THE BRITANNIA. — The Boston newspapers are full of enconiums of the management and swiftness of the Britannia. She made the passage out from land to land across the Atlantic- 7 that is from Cape Clear to Race Point, Newfoundland — in 6 days and 18 hours,—the quickest, we believe, on re cord, with but a slight exception in point of speed, on one occasion, of her sister ship, the Hibernia, on one voyage. This speed is remarkable in the annals of steam navigation, and beats all that was ever accomplished by sailing ships. Suor ROBBERY.—At the Police court yesterday, an athletic young man named Thos. Isherwood, was charged with having, on Saturday night, stolen from a shop a pilot cloth coat, a were, suit of clothes, and a piece of cloth. The articles it appeared, hung at the door; the pri.. saner had two or three companions; they had gone in on a pretence of making a purchase, but had departed with ut being suited—saving with the suit, &c., they had carried o a fragment of the (-loth of which they had, in their hurry, left upon the rail. The alarm was given to the po llee, and the prisoner was afterwards seen with his com panions, and afterwards apprehended in Pownall-square, with several of the articles in his possession. Another of the gang was with him, and Isherwood said that the clothes had been given to him by his companion (whose. property they were) to pawn. The other endeavoured to corroberate this by a distinct affirmation, but took care to Make ~ff immediately after the assertion. The privner was committed for trial. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 14. The market is quiet, but prices are fully supported. Beef and Pork, of prime quality, command an advance of 2s 6d per tea. and brl. LOUIS PHILIPPE'S PREVIOUS VISIT TO ENGLAND. — Louis Philippe, whilst a royal exile (known then as Duke of Orleans) proceeded with his brothers from the United States to the Havannah where they were well received ; but the Court of Madrid ordered the Cantain-General of Cuba to send them away. Exasperated at the persecu tion of the Court of Spain, they turned their eyes to England, where they deter m i ne d t o see k an asy l um . Proceeding to the Bahamas, they passed over to Halifax, where the Duke of Kent (the father of Queen Victoria) received them in the kindest manner. His Royal High ness, however, did not feel authorized to grant the Princes a free passage in an English vessel of War; and they proceeded to England by the ordinary conveyance. They arrived at Falmouth in February, 1800, and having re ceived permission from the King, George 111., they pro ceeded immediately to London, and took up their resi dence at Twickenham. By placing himself in the centre of a large aristocratical society, the Duke voluntarily ex posed his manner of life and his associates to observation, which removed all suspicion as to his motives and designs, and his character daily augmented the number of his friends. Very soon after, a reconciliation took place be tween the Orleans Princes and Louis XVIII. They were now admitted to the British Court, and the three Princes of Orleans became the lions of the fashionable society of the metropolis, till the Duke proceeded, with the permis tion of our government, to Minorca, with the view of visiting the Court of Spain ; but such was the jealousy of the Spanish Government towards his family, that he was obliged to return to Twickenham, where he lived as a private gentleman, not in seclusion or even retirement, — for he mixt-cl in society,—but without any appearance of the eclat of a public character. His pursuits were of a literary and scientific kind ; he studied political economy, and the history, laws, and constitution of England. The death of his two brothers took place a few years after their arrival in England, and on the last of the two events grit f drove Louis Philippe abroad for a change of scene. He proceeded to Sicily, and here he engaged the affec tions of the Princess Amelia, the second daughter of the King, and it would appear that the Queen of Naples made her consent to the marriage of her daughter to the Duke conditional upon the latter taking part in the wild expedition which was to make her second son, Leopold, Regent of Spain. The Duke of Orleans entered upon this project, and conducted himself in it with as much prudence and discretion as could be expected in such an enterprise. ARCHBISHOP LAUD AND THE JESUITS.—The exist ence of a design on the part of Laud and his clergy to re establish the Roman Catholic relig on in England, under the vain pretext of an union with Rome, is a fact unques tioned and unquestionable. It was objected against them by their Puritan opponents ; it was proclaimed with much triumph by their Papist contemporaries ; it was even avowed by themselves. Now it has been our purpose in this somewhat long investigation to show that, from the commencement of Elizabeth's reign, this very design had been cherished by the papacy ; and that the agency where by Rome hoped to accomplish it, was that of dispensed and concealed persons belenging to the order of the Je suits. It is also perfectly evident that this identity of de sign is in itself an amply sufficient ground of inculpation in the guilt of the very wicked devices which Rome had framed to compass it; to say the least, it was a charge from which Laud and his clergy were bound to clear them selves. The trial of Laud afforded them amply the means of exculpation; means extended, in consideration of his high office, far beyond those which were usually granted to accused persons, inasmuch as he was allowed to have frequent access to• his papers before their sequestration. Notwithstanding this, he failed in rebutting the charge of having afforded every possible facility to the avowed agents of the papacy in the prosecution of their designs in this country, and also in disproving the fact that he had been on terms of frequent and intimate communication with the most dangerous of them. The inference is in evitable. Laud and his clergy constituted in England, during the reigns of James and Charles, that secret agency through the medium of which the Church of Rome de signed to reduce this country to her obedience, an agency which she herself had created in the preceding reign by the dispensation of the Jesuits! It would be easy to pro ceed with the inquiry through the subsequent periods of our history, and to show the working of the same agency in the disastrous reigns of the two sons of the hap less monarch whose terrible fate it was to have Laud for his counsellor. But our purpose having been to illustrate the designs of existing parties from the facts of history, it is already accomplished. Laud, bishop and martyr, is one of the gods of the modern tractarians' idolatry. They are never weary of singing his praises; they Fe straining nerve to accomplish his vast and ambitious project. To those who entertain any doubt as to the tendency of that project, it may be useful to know that Laud was he secret agent of Rome, and to learn somewhat of the nature and character of that agency.—Churchman's Monthly Review. MISS KEALE'S CONCERT. This distinguished pianiste gave a concert last night, which was remarkably well attended, and by the elite of the town. The performers selected to assist her, were Miss Whitnall, Miss Joseph, Mr. John Parry, and Mr. J. S. Reeves. In consequence, however, of an arrange ment of the proprietors of the Theatre Royal, by which the parties engaged at that theatre are prevented from ap pearing elsewhere during their engagement, Mr. Reeves's plea was compelled to be filled by another singer, and certainly a better one could not have been selected than Mr. Ryalls, who was chosen to occupy his place, and who filled it, we need no; say, to the infinite satisfaction of the audience. The first piece, a duett, " Sulla Tomba," from the opera of " Lucia de Lammermoor," was given by Miss Whitnall and Mr. Ryalls with beautiful effect. Miss Joseph next gave " The blind Flower Girl," which was encored, and most deservedly. Miss Joseph is a chaste and finished singer, and deserved fully these compliments. We need not say that she was encored. The beautiful ballad "By the sad sea wave" was sang beautifully by Miss Whitnall, and encored, after which Miss Keale played a grand fantasia, on the piano-forte, from " La Sonnambuia." This was a splendid performance. Wel have heard Thalberg and most other celebrated pro fessors on the same instrument ; and we can with con sistency say, that Miss Keale is certainly, in execution and taste, inferior to few, if to any. Miss Joseph's song, by Hargreaves, was a sweet composition ; but John Par ry, in his " Fayre Rosamond," bothered us : certainly this gentleman is unique amongst us singers and pianists. In the second portion of the concert, Miss Whitnall's aria, " Dove Sono," was most splendidly sung, as was " The ,Genius of the Spring," by Miss Joseph, and " You'll remember me," by Miss Whitnall. But, to amateurs of music, the gem of the evening was Miss Keale's " Study in A Minor." This was certainly a treat to listen to ; and, although involving less of difficult ex ecution, than either her first piece, or her " Andante finale," from Lucia di Lammermoor, both of which were certainly finely given, was decidedly the best specimen of her powers upon the instrument which she has chosen, and upon which she must henceforth rank as a first-rate performer. The ballad, " You'll remember me," by Miss Whitnall, from Balfe's Bohemian Girl, was most beautifully sung; but what shall we say of John Parry's songs ? We can say nothing more than that they were as they always are—excellent. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. A deputation from the Provisional Committee of the Liverpool, Ormskirk , and Preston Railway, bad an inter view with Lord Dalhousie, on Friday, at the Board of Trade. The Hereford Times says, the Great Western Railway Company have " volunteered " to take a perpetual lease of the proposed Hereford and Gloucester Railway at 2i per cent., with a moiety of the surplus profits. A deputation of the North Union Railway Company, consisting of Messrs, Theo. Rathbone, H. Earle, J. C. Ewart, Wolstenholme, and R. Earle, Mr. Part, solicitor, and Mr. Chapman, secretary, had an interview with Lord Dalhousie, on Friday. The negotiation between the Liverpool and Manchester and Birkenhead, Manchester, and Cheshire Junction Railway Boards is broken off ; the latter declining to bind themselves to the same rate of tolls per mile as that charged by the " great parent of railways." The Papal government has rejected the proposition of an English company to construct a railroad between Ci vita Vecchia and Home. It is only of late years that a di ligence has been allowed to ply in the Papal states ; a railroad, therefore, would seem to be a step in advance reserved for another age. Her Majesty's state carriage on the Southampton rail way is nearly completed, and it is confidently expected that the application of the patent Kamptulicon (or composi tion of cork and India rubber,) under the carpet and be tween the framework and body of the carriage will en tirely prevent the unpleasant vibration inseparable in all railway travelling. CHESTER, STOCKPORT, AND MANCHESTER RAIL WAY.—The Chester and Warrington Junction line has recently undergone a change, inasmuch as, at the request of several extensive shareholders in the Chester and Warrington Railway, an extension of the line has been determined upon to Altrincham, thus affording a direct communication with Stockport and Manchester. A collision took place on the Croydon Railway on Fri day week, in consequence of the trains up running into a train on the same line. The shock injured several who were returning from the fair, but no fatal mischief was done. Those who required surgical assistance were im mediately conveyed to Guy's Hospital. The accident is attributable to negligence in making the proper signal. The half-yearly meeting of the Durham and Sunder land Railway Company was held on Friday last, when it appeared that the revenue for the half-year ending 31st of August last was £12,123 12s 10., being a decrease on the corresponding half-year of 1843 of £5307 ss. ; the deficiency was attributed to the late pitmen's strike, from which the leading of coals, which is the principal source of revenue, was nearly suspended for several months. SOUTH EASTERN (LONDON AND DOVER) RAILWAY. —We are happy to find from an official letter that Jas. Mac - C - 041;r, Esq., of Liverpool, and B. Harding, Esq., have been elected into the direction to supply existing vacancies. which, in future, are to be filled up, so as to ensure general confidence. The question of the carriage of goods is to be referred to a committee, including the new directors, and the special meeting threatened by the Liverpool shareholders is withdrawn. MIDLAND RAILWAY.—On Tuesday a meeting of this company was held at Derby, when resolutions were passed authorising the directors to apply to parliament to make, lst—A railway from the Midland Railway, at Notting ham, to Newark and Lincoln. 2d—A railway from the Midland Railway, at Swinton, by Doncaster, Bawtry, and Gainsborough, to Lincoln, and thence passing near Bos ton, Spalding, and Wisbeach, to join the Eastern Coml. ties Railway at March. 3d—A railway from the Midland Railway, at Seyton, by way of Oakham and Stamford, to Peterborough. And to amalgamate the Sheffield and Ro therham Railway with the Midland Railway—the latter guaranteeing the former 6 per cent. Thechairman, George Hudson, Esq. announced that the trafficfor the week ending the day of the meeting was £11,998, being more than £2,000 over the corresponding week last year. The di rectors were also authorised to raise an additional capital of £2,500,000, by the creation of 62,500 shares of £4O each. Such shares to be distributed as follows :-51,339 among the holders of stock in this company, being at the rate of one share for every £lOO stock ; 250 among the holders of the £2 shares, being at the rate of one share for every fifty shares; 10,911 to be reserved for landowners and parties locally interested and others. A deputation from the Birkenhead, Manchester, and Chester Junction Railway, consisting of Messrs. M. F. Brownrigg, Wm. Laird, and Joseph Mallaby, had an in terview with Lord Dalhousie at the Board of Trade. The same deputation bad also an interview on the subject of the Cheshire and Shropshire Junction Railway. ST. HELEN'S, SOUTHPORT, WIGAN, RAINFORD, AND LIVERPOOL RAILWAY.—This project is evidently put forth to upset the proposed Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Preston line, and is backed by the united strength of the Liverpool and Manchester and North Union Companies. The chief merit of the project before us, and it, certainly, seems to be a very sufficient one, is, that it will supply to Ormskirk, and other places which the Liverpool, Orrns kirk, and Preston propose to serve, all the benefits that that company offer at one-fourth the cost, and, conse quently, a saving to the public, without interfering with the property of existing railways.—Railway Magazine. The adjudication of the Orleans and Bordeaux Rail road, for which three eminent capitalists contended, was decided on Wednesday in favour of Messrs. Mackenzie and Co., who tendered to lease it for 27 years 11 months ; Messrs. Rothschild offered to lease it for 32 years and 3 months; and Messrs. Dronillard for 36 years. The conditions of laying down the lines, working the lines, and the prices of transport were settled by an act of the last session. The object of the Government was to lease it to that competitor who would take it for the fewest years. The Orleans and Vierzon Railroad has been ad judged to the existing Orleans Company for a term of 40 years, the company ceding to that of Messrs. Le Conte and Company one third of the shares. Several English capitalists have, it is said, embarked in these specula tions. Two HORSES KILLED BY A RAILWAY TRAIN.—On Saturday week, as a groom in the service of Mr. John Tollett, of Oxford -street, was returning home with four valuable horses from High Wycombe, riding one of them and leading the other, when, close to the bridge crossing the West London Railway, at" Shepherd's-bush, the led horses were frightened by the lamps of a carriage, which suddenly turned the corner of the road, and broke away from the groom. Two of them took the direction of the railway station, which is at a short distance north of the UxhAdge road, and entering the gates of the station, ran on to the line just as a train was advancing towards them. It was than dark, and on the cl:rk at the station hearing a noise, and running out to see what was the matter, he found the groom on horseback on the line in the act of following the horses, which he appeared determined to do, though told that a train was approaching, and was only kept back (and his life consequently saved) by force. The clerk instantly hoisted the light to stop the train, which it did, but not before it had (though unknown at the time to the engineer, or guard, who felt no jerk) cut down two out of the three animals. On search being made for the remains of the animals, one was found in a dreadfully mu tilated state at no great distance behind the train, and the other about 200 yards further off, with his hind legs com pletely cut off. The groom was in such a state that had he not been restrained he would have committed suicide. The two horses were valued at £lOO, and the damage to the train amounted to £lO. PARIS AND ROUEN RAILWAY. - --On Wednesday a meeting of the Liverpool proprietors in this company was held at the Clarendon-rooms. John Moss, Esq., occupied the chair. A resolution moved by Lewitt Moz ley, Esq., was unanimously adopted, to the effect that the proposition to be submitted to the general meeting of proprietors to be held in Paris on the 31st instant—for the raising of capital for making a branch line to Elbeuf, and another to Louviers, and for finding material for working the Havre line with one set of officers—met with the approbation of the Liverpool shareholders. The sum of £400,000 will be required for these objects. Mr. Reid, one of the French directors, stated that the receipts of the Paris and Rouen railway for the past half.year would amount to £160,000, which is considerably more than the sum received in the corresponding period of last year. He also stated that they had lowered the prices for the first 35 miles out of Paris, and the first 25 miles out of Rouen ; and yet it would be seen from their weekly re turns that their receipts had not fallen off, but, on the contrary, that they had been greatly augmented. They took 55,000 francs for goods alone last week, and in one day they received upwards of £4OO for the conveyance of goods, although their charges were at so low a rate as 10 francs a ton for 85 miles. The result of the whole was, that they had a satisfactory progressive increase in their traffic ; and that when the creation of the proposed branches should have been sanctioned, they would still have the same tale to tell—that they were going on in creasing in prosperity. Mr. Reid concluded by saying he had no doubt that a line, to start from Rouen, would be made to the southern part of Normandy. It was mentioned at the meeting, that of the 72,000 shares in the company, 40,000 were held in England, and of those, 20,000 in the district of Liverpool alone. DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last, as a train, principally occupied by butchers going to Shields, was proceeding to that town, on the Newcastle and Shields Railway, about two miles from the latter town, another train was seen coming in an opposite direction, but at so short a distance, owing to the curvature of the line at the place, that a collision appeared inevitable. The engine men at once reversed the engines, and then leaped off, and immediately afterwards they came into violent collision. Most of the butchers were stunned by the shock, all of them being thrown with considerable force against the partitions of the carriage. The next moment they found themselves careering away towards Shields, the car riage, to use the expression of one of the passengers, " fly ing like lightning." At once apprehensive of danger, some of the passengers began to leap from the carriage, and it was soon ascertained that the engine was under no control. Indeed, the engineman and stoker had been left behind, after jumping off, and the engine, bounding from the collision, was running at an enormous speed along the line towards Shields, it being a gentle incline. By the time the train had reached the station, between fifteen and eighteen of the passengers had thrown themselves out, the remainder continuing in the carriage, ready to jump out when they saw a favorable opportunity. Fortunately, on reaching the station a train of four or five empty car riages was standing on the line, against which the engine drove the carriage before it with tremendous force, carry ing all forward to the back part of the station, where a strong balk of timber is placed as a stopper, over which some of the carriages were driven, whilst the whole were crushed together in one confused mass of broken frag ments. Three or four yards behind the stopper a low wall encloses this part of the station, and beyond the wall there is a coal depot, on a lower level by twenty•five or thirty feet. One of the carriages, torn from its frame and wheels, was left balancing on the top of this wall. The engine, after being " brought up," still continued to " puff and blow," urging itself through the mass of broken carriages. By this lamentable catastrophe, two men, Brown, a drover, and Burrell, a butcher. were killed, and fifteen other persons were more or less injured. At the inquest the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," with a deodand of £3OO on the engine, and at the same time expressed their severe censure at the impropriety and danger of allowing passenger trains to run up and down on one line.

The inhabitants, generally speaking, are in a state of great alarm, and the destruction of property is immense. On Thursday a fire occurred at Woods-green Farm, Tot tenham, Middlesex, when the following premises were de stroyed :--" Two cart-sheds, with contents and carts therein ; a granary, a small cottage, a barn, the cow houses, calf-pens, brew - house, and outbuildings, with the whole of the contents, consisting of beans, oats, Pota toes, and agricultural impl-ments; also a quantity of pigeons and rabbits.
