J. C. H. LITERARY NOTICES. November. Edinburgh, over the turnpike road a . t Godley toll-bar, a distance of from eight to nine miles, in the course of a few weeks only from the present time. Indeed, all that is wanting to complete this portion of the railway is a short portion of the embank ment necessary to form a junction with the Manchester and Birmingham line at Chancery-lane ; over which line, it is well known, they are to run as far as the station in Travis street, and ultimately to the splendid new joint station of the two companies in London-road. The portion of the Manchester and Sheffield Railway about to be opened traverses a district studded with populous manu facturing towns and villages ; and amongst them we may mention, as the most important, Gorton, Openshaw, Auden shaw, Hooley Hill, Fairfield, Ashton-under-Lyne, Staly bridge, Dukinfield, Tintwistle, Hollinwood, Newton, and Hyde. From its junction with the Manchester and Birming ham Railway at Chancery-lane, the line runs on a considera ble embankment for about a mile and three-quarters, where it enters a cutting at Openshaw, and passes under the Stock port Canal. a little distance from Messrs. Orrell's factory, and under Lee-street ; from thence it passes, with a few ex ceptions of fillings hardly worth mentioning as embankments, through cuttings or upon the surface of the ground, the whole remainder of the distance; so that it may be presumed there is little likelihood of any interruption after it is once opened from slippings, settlings, or other accidents to which em bankments are liable. The embankment we have mentioned at the Manchester end of the line has, with the exception of the small portion at the junction, referred to above, been formed a considerable time; the permanent rails have been laid down, and locomotive engines and heavily laden waggons have been running on it for some time, so that it may be said to have settled down, and its permanency, solidity, and safety are placed beyond a doubt. The first station on the line is the Fairfield station, at the head of Gorton reservoir. The station for the accommodation of Ashton is established at Guide Bridge, about three-quarters of a mile from the new church ; and this station will also accommodate the traffic with Hooley Hill and neighbourhood. At Dukinfield there is another station, situated at Dog-lane, near Dukinfield hall. The line passes through this township, and traverses the extensive coal fields of Messrs. Swire and Lees, and of the Dunkirk Coal Company. The station here will be the point also at which the traffic of Stalybridge and neighbour hood must come upon the line. The next station is Newton Green, established for the convenience of the populous town ships of Newton and Hyde. The next station is at Godley, on the Mottram and Hyde turnpike road, for the present the terminus of the line; and here the traffic of Tintwisle, Hol linwood, Glossop, &c., will come upon the line, and arrange ments have been made by which the Sheffield coaches and carriers will meet the trains there, for the accommodation of the " through" traffic. The works most worthy of notice on the line, are the three viaducts—the Dukinfield, Harewood, and Etherow ; the latter of which, though nearly completed, is on a portion of the line not included in that about to be opened. The Duk infield or Tame Valley viaduct is a handsome brick erection of five arches, each of considerable span, crossing the river Tame, and exhibits the appearance of a firm, substantial piece of masonry. The viaduct at Godley is of nine arches, one of which crosses the Mottram and Hyde turnpike. The Etherow viaduct is an erection of three lofty and beautiful arches, with stone piers, crossing the river Mersey. The centre arch is of 150 feet span, and the other two are of 120 feet each. The gradients on this line, though the railway passes through a country offering many natural obstacles, and where it might be imagined that considerable inclines could not be avoided, are very favourable; the greatest incli nation being 1 in 100, or less than the principal one on the Manchester and Liverpool line—(the Sutton incline being 1 in 89);—and this incline is only 64 chains in length; the other gradients between Liverpool and Godley being respectively, 1 in 132, 1 in 330, 1 in 176, 1 in 193, 1 in 140, and 1 in 511, while some portion of the line runs on a dead level. The carriages and locomotives, we understand, are in course of delivery on the line, so that the working department is almost in complete readiness. The locomotives are said to be of a very powerful description, and well fitted for the heavy trains which may be expected to traverse the line. The carriages will be of three classes, evincing the disposi tion of the directors to afford every possible accommodation to the working classes who may be disposed to make use of this conveyance, and whose time is of course, at all times, a codsideration to them ; as well as to the middle and higher classes, who have the means of paying for the comforts of a second class, or the luxuries of a first class carriage. The first class carriages are of the same construction as those used on the Grand Junction Railway ; the second are of a description which have not yet been introduced into this part of the country, and known only to our northern travellers who may have traversed the Glasgow and Greenock Railway. The third class are " stand-ups" of similar construction to those used by the Manchester and Birmingham, and now running between this town and Stockport. LINES SUGGE ,T WHICH BEN.

A case of a very painful nature is at present under investi gation by the authorities of lienfrewshire. The particulars, so far as they have been stated here, are as follow :—Two brothers, of the name of Irvine, calico printers by trade, and resident in Renfrew, having, it is stated, conceived that their brother-in-law, named Thomas Hardie, stood in the way of their becoming possessed of some property, lay in wait for him on his way home, on Saturday night last. Thomas Har die is employed as a carpenter at Clyde Bank, near Yoker. There is a man of the name of Threpenny in the same work, and as both reside at Kelvin Dock, they usually go home on the Saturday evenings together. On Saturday night last, however, Threpenny went alone, and at a later hour than usual. When at the old waggon road leadin g from Dunbar- ton road, about a m from the villa, of Yoker, the two xas aware, brothers'attaeked I one of them cut his cheek severely by a blow with a potatoe beetle, and knocked him down. While on the ground he was severely beaten by both assailants, and struck again on the head with the beetle. Being a powerful man, however; be managed to get to his feet, and having drawn a c lasp-knife, which he usually carried in his pocket, he stabbed James Ir vine, the elder brother, in the side, near the heart, and ren dered him incapable of offering further violence. He had still the other brother to contend with, and in the scuffle cut him in the arm, and inflicted other injuries of a serious na• ture on his person. The assailants then fled, and bounding through a hedge and into a field of potatoes, their progress was stopped, James having fallen down in a dying state, and the other suffering dreadfully from the effects of the wounds which he had received. Threpenny had called out " murder" when he was attacked, and his cries attracted a neighbouring farmer of the name of Gray, and his wife, to the spot, and the scene which was presented to them, on their arrival, was certainly of the most painful description. James Irvine was lying in the field dead, and his brother was evidently in a dangerous state. Threpenny also suffered much from ex haustion and the effects of the blows he received : he was removed to Gray's house. The wounded man, and the dead body of his ill-fated brother, were taken in a cart to Ren frew. The sheriff of Itenfrewshite and procurator-fiscal ar rivtgi at Renfrew at a late hour on Saturday night, and pro ceetfed to make inquiry into the circumstances. Irvine re fused to make any statement till he found some relief from the pain of his wounds. On the following morning Thre penny was brought over to Renfrew, and on Monday, we understand, both survivors, with the body of the deceased, were removed to Paisley. It is stated that at the outset of the affray an attempt was made to rob Threpenny of his bun dle and watch. In the meantime, we cannot enter more minutely into the circumstances. LAUNCH OF THE "PRECURSOR" INDIAN STEAM-SHIP (From the Glasgow Herald of Friday.) In our paper of the 28th of June last, we gave a minute description of this magnificent steam-ship, then in the course of building by Messrs. Hedderwick and Rankine, at Kelvin 'laugh Dock, near this city, and we have now to record her launch, which took place on Wednesday last, at four o'clock. The day was -one continued rain and storm, and from this cause the attendance of on-lookers was not a tithe of what it would have been had there been sunshine instead of a deluge. The Precursor was wedded to the waters in gallant style, and was christened by Miss Napier, daughter of Robert Napier, Esq., of the Vulcan Foundry, amid the cheering of those assembled. From the vast friction attendant on the motion of such an immense mass she " smoked," as carpenters term it, considerably in her run, and the sudden introduction of the Precursor into the Clyde raised fora time the water seve ral feet in height along the banks, resembling the sudden ♦isitation of a high spring tide. She is the largest steamer ever built out of dock and launched from ways, the British Queen, the President, &c., having been built in dock, and simply floated out. The following are the dimensions, weight, and tonnage of this magnificent steamship, made up from data furnished to us by the builders : Feet In Length over all, allowing 17 feet of pro jection to the cut-water Length of keel and forerake for tonnage Length from stem-head to taffrail Extreme breadth on deck Breadth over Paddle-boxes . Breadth in midships, between paddles .... Diameter of paddle-wheels ......

In 6 8 7 0 The Precursor has a beautiful figure head of Lord Auck land, eight feet in height; and her stern carving is in the Oriental style—the whole having been executed by Mr. Thos. Kay, carver, in this city. The ship will carry 1,000 tons of coal. The following, which we transcribe from our former ac count, will give the further necessary particulars regarding the Precursor:—" Her keel is composed of nine large trees of English elm, and the frame of the very best British oak timber, perfectly square, without a particle of sap-wood, and of large scantlings. She is built of solid floors of oak, six teen inches square, doubled and put together with felt be tween the joints, and the whole bottom is caulked outside and inside to the height of the run of the bilges, fore and aft. By this means she was made perfectly water-tight before the planks were put on, and these again are of uncommon thick ness, and all fastened with large copper bolts, instead of the " treenails" or pins commonly in use. These bolts are driven through every timber in the ship, and clenched with copper rings on the ceiling or inside planks. The planks in side and out, the beams, &c., are chiefly English oak, or African teak, and in addition to the immense strength of her planking and bindings, she is trussed and bound with large iron riders, extending diagonally from the gunwale of the main-deck to the bottom, and bolted on the top of the ceil ing. She has also four iron water-tight bulkheads, by which she is divided into five compartments, each provided with proper pumps, to be worked either by the engines or manual labour. For the purpose of strengthening her back, the ship is provided with seven kelsons, upon which the boiler and engines will rest. These are composed of immense pieces of African and English oak, three feet in depth. The Precursor is classed to stand 12 years A 1, and taken all in all, reflects much credit on her builders. The engines of the Precursor are built by Mr. Robert Napier, of the Vulcan Foundry. They are upwards of 600 horse-power, and are ready to he fitted in.

For yarn, suitable to the Ger man market, and ready for immediate delivery, there was a fair demand, and holders had no difficulty in making sales at previous rates ; but the buyers showed very little inclination to make contracts for future delivery. For manufactured goods the market continued exceedingly heavy and discou raging, and few sales could be effected, except at prices a shade lower than those of last week. Two failures have been announced within the last few days—one of a manufac turing house in Mozley-street, the engagements of which are stated to be £21,000 ; the other of a bleacher at Bolton, which, we believe, is of smaller importance. There have been also some failures at Hamburg; bute do not learn that they are likely to have an immediate effect on this mar ket to any serious extent. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, OCTOBER 25th.—There has been a very fair demand for flannels to-day, though the market has been but thinly attended. Prices remain the same : indeed, there has been no change for some weeks back. The wool market has been more than usually dull; and, on account of the prices giving way, the manu facturers buy very sparingly. NOTTINGIIAM.—We are sorry to state, that the plat net trade, which seemed at one time to offer peculiar advantages to the patentees and machine owners, has met with a great reverse. Still the evil is not without remedy, provided the patentees would adopt a liberal system of licensing to use their invention. It is lamentable to state, that the hosiery trade is worse th. , n ever, as employment is still scarcer. We have heard of many hands being discharged. Full fashioned cotton hose, though extremely dull, are the most in demand. Was the trade to France open, there would be a great demand for fine hose above 42 guage. The Saxons are so pinched by the Sutton drop-offs in the American and German markets, that the Saxon hosiers have for once abandoned their system of compelling the master stockingers to find their own frames, and they are trying the speculation of procuring English iron frames. Two frames have been purchased of a framesmith last week, for the purpose of being sent to Chemontry. Ones is a 30-inch two-needle frame ; the other, a 20-inch two needle. The English iron frames have half as much speed again as the Saxon wooden frames. The hosiers ought to apply to the comptroller of the customs at Hull, to stop this traffic in its infancy.—Nottingham Review. AUGMENTATION OF BENEFICES (From the Blackburn Standard.) The Gazette of Friday evening last contains an Order in Council, under the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Act, including a list of grants for the augmentation of nearly 10u benefices, being those which combine the largest population with the smallest endowment, the whole amount granted being equivalent to a present gross sum in 3 per cent stock of £126,800. The funds thus appropriated have been realised by the suspension of certain canonries and prebends, in seve ral cathedral and collegiate churches. under the operation of the above-named act. The sums of money thus accruing have been paid over to the Commissioners under the act, and by them carrird over to a common fund, out of which the grants to which we allude have been made. They are, in fact, the first fruits of the scheme which was approved of in the Fourth Report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. Other and similar lists may be expected to appear with rnore or less frequency hereafter. The amount of good which may thus eventually !result from the re-distribution of a large portion of the revenues of the Church is incalculable. The object of the Commissioners, as stated in the report which they have just published, is, to grant out of the common fund under their care (in the first instance) such augmenta tions only as may be requisite to secure, as nearly as may be, an average annual net income of £l5O to the incumbent of every benefice or church, with cure of souls, being either a parish church or chapel with a district legally assigned thereto, and having a population amounting to two thousand, and being in the patronage of the Queen, some archbishop or bishop, dean and chapter, dean, archdeacon, prebendary, or of some rector or vicar. The Commissioners reserve to them selves the right of abstaining from recommending such aug mentation in cases where special circumstances render it in expedient. The grants now made become payable on the Ist day of May, and the Ist day of November in each year, the first payment to take place on the Ist of next month. The sums already allotted to the benefices enumerated in the Ga zette of last Friday range from £6, (the smallest,) to £126, (the largest amount.) The following is a list of the benefices in this county, which have been thus augmented :—Brad shaw (Perpetual Curacy) £39 ; Dalton, (Vicarage) £33 ; Ellell, (Perpetual Curacy) £5l ; Emmanuel, Bolton, (Dis trict Church) £81; Goodshaw, (Perpetual Curacy) £27 ; Gorton (Perpetual Curacy) £24; Great Harwood, (Per petual Curacy) £2l ; llawkshead (Perpetual Curacy) £24 ; Heapey (Perpetual Curacy) £42 • Marsden (Perpetual Curacy) £ 54; Milnrow (Perpetual Curacy) £6; Moss ley (Perpetual Curacy) £27 ; Pemberton (Perpetual Cu racy) £ll4 ; Itoyton (Perpetual Curacy) £24 ; St. James, Oldham (Perpetual Curacy) £7B; St. Paul, Warring ton (Perpetual Curacy) £27 ; St. Thomas, Friarmer (Perpetual Curacy) £2l • Samlesbury (Perpetual Curacy) £42; Stretford (Perpetual Curacy) £39 ; Tockholes (Per petual Curacy) £l2 ; and Whalley (Vicarage) £lB. The number of benefices augmented in this county is twenty-one. The number augmented in the adjoining county of York is eighteen. From the large proportion of grants made to these two counties we may naturally infer that the necessities of the Church in these large manufacturing districts are greater than in any other part of the kingdom. We cannot more ap propriately conclude these statements than by quoting the following admirable remarks from the Times :—" Unques tionably it is an object of the very highest importance to promote the efficiency of the church in such parishes as those to which these grants have been made. Spoliation formerly fell with peculiar weight upon the town population of Eng land, and the consequence has been that our towns in modern days have been the hotbeds and strongholds of dissent, while, at the same time, they have been constantly advancing in political importance. It is, therefore, both just and necessary (if the secular establishment of the Church of England is to be maintained) to make something like restitution to these localities. Gm eat good must inevitably flow from the improved pastoral superintendence and increased means of usefulness which such apportionments of the funds at the disposal of the Church Commissioners will create. It would be idle, however, to hope that the resources of these commissioners will ever be such as to meet the spiritual necessities of the British people. There is need of a far greater and more ge neral exertion on the part of all the members of the English Church. None but levellers would wish to see the incomes of the clergy equalised ; and there is more room for doubting whether too great a sacrifice has not been already imposed upon the higher and more dignified portions of the ecclesias tical fabric than for entertaining the idea that by further I alienations of present endowments the laity can be relieved from the duty of contribution. Baron Munchauvn tells us that he descended from the moon to the earth on a compara tively short rope, by cutting off the long, and now useless uPPer end, and lying it to the lower,' till, ' by repeated B Pilcings,' he succeeded in reachin g the ground.

A poor man named Lewis Roberts last week fell from an American ship, the Rob Roy, into the Bute Docks at Car diff, and was drowned. His shipmates limited their exer tions to picking up his hat, and then rowed away, leaving him calling for help. CHURCH EXTENSION.—The Bishop of Worcester will consecrate three churches, recently erected in the neighbour hood of Birminghatn, during the present week. Two are very nearly ready for consecration in the neighbouring diocese of Lichfield and Coventry. A SHREWD HINT.—A Boston paper, in noticing the new books recently published at New York, adds, " Most of the newspaper editors in the United States have spoken of them as of great merit. We do not believe a word of the praise bestowed on these works, and will not, till we shall have seen them." THE WOOD-PAVING IN OXFORD-STREET.---011 Satur day, at the meeting of the Marylebone vestry, Mr. Gomm in the chair, the vestry entered upon the discussion of the mi nute for confirmation, agreeing to accept the proposal of Messrs. Margrove and Esdale, the proprietors of Rankins' patent wood pavement, to lay down six hundred yards of their specimen in Oxford-street, between Southampton street and Duke-street, without subjecting the vestry to any outlay, but at an annual charge of three shillings per square yard per annum. After a short discussion the minute was confirmed by a majority of twenty-five to fifteen. CONVERSION OF FOUR ROMAN CATHOLICS TO THE PRO TESTANT FAITH.—On Sunday last, the 17th instant, the church of Colebrook presented a remarkable scene. It hav ing been reported through the country that three Roman Ca tholics would present themselves for the purpose of formally renouncing Popery, the church was filled to excess at an early hour. After the Nicene Creed, the Rector, the Rev. Sidney Smith, requested those persons Rho had given notice of their intention of conforming to the church of England to come forward to the chancel. Accordingly three men and one woman arose and advanced to the rails, and there repeated distinctly and audibly a declaration renouncing the errors of Popery. The bearing of the converts was firm and cheerful; they were, however, at times deeply and solemnly affected. The most profound attention and sympathy per vaded the dense mess who listened with breathless interest. The Rev. Dr. Smith preached from Ezekiel viii. 12. We heard with anxious attention and deep feeling, and the inte rest displayed by some Roman Catholics present could not be mistaken. if there were less carelessness and ignorance among Protestants, there would be more conversions from Rome. We pray that the good work may go on and pros per.—Fermanaqh Reporter. THE REV. BAPTIST NOEL'S PAMPHLET.—The Quarterly Review says of this trashy affair—" Hail it been anony mous, we should have thought it to be the work of some crazy canter, who, without a single original idea on that— or, we should have suspected, any other—subject, had, with the crooked cunning so remarkable in those twilight intel lects, culled all the false facts and garbled statements of the ministerial advocates into one incoherent, but—for the thoughtless classes to whom it is addressed—very mischiev ous rhapsody. Mr. Noel may be, and we hope is, a very different man from what his pamphlet would have led us to suppose ; but the character of that work is what we have de scribed. We are, of course, not now going into the corn law controversy, nor, above all, with such an antagonist as Mr. Noel ; compared with whose inflamed and inflammatory .exaggerations Lord John's two processional loaves are com mon sense and sound logic. We only notice his pamphlet on account of the astonishing and deplorable fact which im mediately followed its publication—in the very height and fever of the elections—Kt.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE.—On Sunday even ing last Gainsburgh was the scence of a very serious domestic tragedy. A girl of the name of Louisa Middleton, servant to Mr. Thornhill, butcher, had been for some time very intimate with the deceased, Thomas Wilson, and they were shortly to be married; but, on Sunday morning last, after leaving chapel together, they had a slight quarrel, and the girl told Wilson to go about his business, she would have no more to do with him, and on the evening of that day she left off her old lover, and took a walk with a mason who has lately come to Gainsburgh to work. While on their walk they were met by her lover Wilson, who, just as they were passing him, struck her on the breast violently, and made off directly. Wilson had struck her with some sharp instrument which entered her breast and caused a considerable loss of blood, but unattended with danger. The girl took no fur ther steps in the business that evening; but the family of Wilson became alarmed at his non-appearance, and on Mon day morning his body was discovered suspended from a tree in a garden near the house where the girl resided. No doubt he had intended to murder the girl ; and, under the idea that he had inflicted a mortal injury upon her, committed suicide. An inquest was held on the body on Tuesday, when it was found that Wilson bad stabbed himself with his own pocket knife, which he had then put in his pocket, where it was found with the blade covered with blood. From some other singular circumstances attending the affair, the jury returned a verdict of "temporary insanity."—Doncaster Chronicle. PRESERVATION OF A CHILD.—A boy, named Gr ice between three and four years old, has been in the habit, for some time, of attending St. Michael's school, in the Castle Foregate, Shrewsbury ; and, on Monday evening, was dismissed at the usual hour, and went off homewards. The poor child missed the way to his residence at Cotton Hill ; and, in the darkness and severe storm, wandered through Frankwell, onwards to the fields near the Monk's Eye Prill, where he appears to have taken shelter under a hedge, and then cried himself to sleep. The son of Mr. Hugh Parry, of Frankwell, (who occupies the adjoining field,) was aroused by his father, between three and four on the ensuing morn ing, to fetch a horse from the field, to go a distant journey. The lad went off; and, having brought the horse to the top of the Prill Lane, discovered, by the light of his lantern, the infant lying coiled up, stiff and apparently lifeless, close to the fence and the footway. He ran off to his father ; and, telling him what he had seen, Mr. Parry held the horse till he returned, and brought the boy in his arms, drenched in rain, which had fallen on him unremittingly during the whole night, and utterly unconscious, although he still breathed. With the utmost care he was undressed, and put into warm blankets, where he soon recovered a degree of consciousness, but immediately fell asleep ; on awaking from which, he was fully restored to his senses, and able to give such information as enabled his preservers to put him into the arms of his heart-broken parents, who had spent the night in traversing the streets and fields adjacent to the school, in search of the boy who was so miraculously preserved. EXTENSIVE CATTLE SALE.—Yesterday week, the valua ble stock of Cattle belonging to Mr. Price, of the Pool House, near Upton-upon-Severn, were sold in the presence of a great assemblage of farmers, graziers, and others. Se veral noblemen were present, The cattle, including a num ber of calves, amounted to 103, and realized the extraordinary sum of £5,236, being upwards of £5O a head ! THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The weather,• though still unsettled, has been more favourable during the past week than had been the case for some time previous ; and we doubt not that farmers have been enabled to carry a portion of the long outstanding grain. The drying winds and sunny days must also have been of immense service in freeing the land of some of the superabundant moisture ; and should the rain keep off (of which, however, there seems little probability, having had several showers to-day,) ploughing and autumn sowing would soon be actively commenced, and occupy a large portion of the time and attention of the agriculturist. Al ready the supplies of corn from the growers have decreased, and at most of the provincial markets held since our last the trade has maintained a very firm tone. We are sorry to per ceive from our Scotch letters, that the weather has been very inclement there, even on those days when we had it fair. Our advices state, that scarcely any further progress had yet been made with the ingatheiing of the crops, and that much corn had been completely destroyed. These sad accounts had caused holders of grain of all kinds to become unwilling to dispose of what they still had on hand, excepting at ad vanced rates ; and good qualities of wheat, barley, and oats, were held at enhanced prices. From Ireland the reports also continue very disheartening ; frequent heavy showers having, we are informed, fallen in different parts of the island, doing great injury to that portion of the crops still abroad, inun dating the low lands, and threatening to render the produce of potatoes bad in quality, and deficient in quantity.—Mark Lane Express. Mr. Knight Bruce, having returned from the continent, has accepted the appointment of one of the Vice-Chancellor ships, under the act of last session, and will take his seat in conjunction with Vice-Chancellor Wigram on Tuesday next, the first day of term. The new courts will, in all probability, sit in two of the committee-rooms of the House of Commons until the Commissioners of Woods and Forests make some more permanent arrangement. A DANIEL GOING INTO THE LION'S DEN.—At a recent anti-slavery meeting in Vermont, a very zealous young man introduced a resolution that a person be appointed to go to the south, and remonstrate with the people there against the sin of slavery. The resolution was adopted, and the young man who introduced the resolution was appointed to do the honours of the office, which he had been the means of creating. We regret 'to be obliged to say that we do not think that he will proceed far on his pilgrimage of love.—Boston Mail, Oct. 2. DREADFUL PRIVATIONS.—Lord Charles Spencer, then a youth about 18 years of age, suffered dreadfully from the hunger and fatigue of this retreat ; trembling with cold and weakness, he stood perched upon some branches that had been cut down for fuel, the tears silently starting from his eyes through the pain he experienced, while thus sharing in the common lot, anxiously watching a few acorns, which to stay the pangs of hunger he had placed in the embers to roast. I dare say his Lordship had never know n till the n the joys of poverty—a good appetite! Nor will he I expect, forget how willingly the rough soldiers flew to offer him bis cuits which their own sufferings conld not withhold from one so tenderly and delicately reared; but his Lordship was very much liked among us, and no doubt it did many a heart good to hear his thanks, and see the eagerness with which he de voured the offering.—Costello's Adventures of a Soldier. THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.—It is rep or t e d, an d th e qua rter whence the i nformat i on reaches us is a pretty good guarantee for the accuracy that three of the leaders of the non-intrusion party (Rev. Messrs. Candlish and Cunning ham, and Mr. Dunlop) recently met in Edinburgh three of the leaders of the Moderates (the late Dean of Faculty Hope, no w Lord Justice Clerk, D. r. Cook, a n d D r. M u i r ) , and, in prese nce of Sir. George Sinclair, who ac t e d as moderator or um pire on the occasion, took upon themselves to arrange the disputes of the Scottish church on the following basis—viz., th a t patronage should r em a in in full force, but that the pat ron should present to the parish a leet of six condidates, the people's choice of one of whom to be absolute. Our infor mant states, moreover, and the whole question may now be considered as at rest, as there is good reason to believe that Sir Robert Peel, if allowed, is prepared to carry this religious treaty into effect. —Ayr Advertiser. TURKISH MiesipAt. GUSTO.—A mod ern t rave ll er i n f orms us that the band of an English ambassador at Constantinople once performed a concert for the entertainment of the sultan and his court.—At the conclusion he was asked which of the pieces he preferred. He replied the first, which was accord ingly recommenced , but stopped, as not being the right one. Others were tried wi th as little success, until at length the band, almost in despair of discovering the . favourite air, be gan tuning their instruments, when his highness i ns t an tly exclaimed, " Inshallah heaven be praised, that is it. PARLIAMENTARY FRANCHISE. — It has been d ec id e d i n the last revision, both at Birmingham and at Gloucester, that trustees of dissenting. chapels have not, as was formerly supposed, the right of voting for county !Timbers. At the revision in Gloucester, the revising barristers rejected the claims, or struck off the and d m o e i s e a t p h t e i sRt minister,oma cath a o n l id also of c prie st , the Unitarian minister, n six trustees of the Wesleyan chNoel—a decision which corre sponds with that given at Birmingham. The railway department of the Board of Trade have issued two sets of questions to railway companies, calculated to elicit information as to the precautions taken to insure safety on roads crossed by any line, and the safety of the engines em ployed on the line. A particularly bright look out is kept by the customs' de partment at Limerick, and the toast guard on the Lower Shannon, within the last month or two, the smuggling of tobacco, it being ascertained, having been carried on to a great extent from time to time. RAILROADS IN FRANCR.—The system to be adopted for railroads, as proposed by the minister of public works, is as follows :—" That the districts through which the lines are to pass arc to provide the land required, the state undertaking all the works of embankment and excavation. The compa nies are to find the rails, the materiel, and the buildings, and are to have the benefit of the lines which may be adjudged to them, the duration of the grants of privilege and the rates of charges being fixed by the government. How TO STIMULATE COURAGE.—A gentleman passing through a certain street, spied a little fellow busily employed inflicting rather heavy blows on his pate, just behind the ear, with a brickbat. Being desirous of knowing what sin so young a child hgd committed, which required so extraordi nary a penance, he asked the boy why he was pounding his head so violently ? Oh, sir,', said the lad earnestly, " that great Bill Smith called me a liar yesterday, and I am tryin' to raise the bump of combativeness„ so as to give him a good licking to-morrow."—Scotch paper. The determination of the French Cabinet to decrease its naval armaments in the Mediterranean by the extent of six ships of the line, which are to be withdrawn into port and laid up in ordinary, was communicated to our government in the most friendly and Unreserved spirit. There was not the slightest requirement intimated of the propriety of a cor responding decrease on our side in our Mediterranean force, nor was such mutual decrease a subject of negociation at all, on either side. But we learn it is the intention of our government to respond to this friendly manifestation, by re tiring a certain portion of our naval forces now in the Medi terranean. The ships so withdrawn will probably be ordered to replace others on the American or West Indian stations, whose time of service is up, but without ulterior views to any presumed contingency of affairs there. THE MARKET OVERSTOCKED.—A letter from Philadel phia, in the Morning Chronicle of Thursday, supplies the following information :—" The British barque Queen, ar rived at this port, from Londonderry, on Sunday, Sept. 26, with nearly 100 females on board, who, it seems, came to the United States in consequence of having heard that fe males were very scarce ! I assure you that the ladies of the republic are both numerous and agreeable, and the fair daughters of Ireland left home under an erroneous impres sion. Their only chance is in the far-off west, but the jour ney is long and expensive. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—Late on Friday night, a porter. named William Grieve lost his life under the following circumstances :—On the arrival of the Monarch steam-ship, a rope was thrown from the stern of the vessel, preparatory to her being moored alongside the quay ; and deceased in en deavouring to catch hold of it, lost his balance, and fell into the water. Every exertion was made to save him, but he was never seen to rise ; one of the seamen on board even leapt into the water, and swam round the steamer, but he could find no trace of the unfortunate man. The body was not re covered till nine o'clock in the morning, when it was found that Grieve bad received a serious injury on the head, which in all probability bad rendered him insensible, thereby ac counting for his not rising to the surface of the water. A wife and three children are left to lament his loss ; and what renders this event one of truly melancholy interest, is the fact, that the former, when this sad bereavement befel her, was hourly expected to give birth to a fourth.—Edinburgh paper. THE COURSE OE TRUE LOVE NEVER DID RUN SMOOTH. —A " tiller of the soil" and a blythe young widow, residing in Driffield, lately agreed to join their fates " for better for worse." The banns of matrimony were published for the third and last time—the guests were bidden—the ring was bought—the wedding cheer provided—the happy day ap pointed—and the bride had taken up her abode in the house of her parents elect. So far all seemed to bid fair for the auspicious event ; but there is many a slip between the cup and the lip. On the day previously to that appointed for the nuptials, as the "happy pair" were busy putting the cake through the ring for " nice young maidens" to dream on, a dispute arose respecting the possession of the ring, which ul timately ended in the bitterest enmity, and the affianced couple determined finally to separate. In the same house there also abided a gallant son of St. Crispin, who had been fixed on to give the blooming bride away ; his affections im mediately waxed warm towards the forsaken widow ; she re turned his glowing passion, and the very next day, on which she was to have been the bride of another, saw them bound in Hymen's bonds as close as sole and upper lealker.—Scot- Ugh Guardian. CELESTIAL PHENOMENON.—Saturday evening last, our northern visitors, the aurora borealis, made their first ap pearance for the season. About a quarter to nine, the sky to the north and north-west assumed that peculiar, soft, yellow, and luscious light which always indicates the presence of the " merry dancers." Two minutes afterwards, a splendid arch shot away from a dense mass of cloud until it nearly reached the opposite horizon ; it seemed to form imperceptibly, with out any flickering or coruscation, until it lay at length like the scorched path of some mighty comet that had gone a visiting Pleiades. The stars were dimly discernable through the arch at the highest part, a circumstance not observable with a similar phenomenon which took place in November last. At five minutes to nine, a movement commenced at the eastern limb, where it split into innumerable filaments, diverging and contracting with great rapidity. The black cloud in the north seemed to receive it like an Italian eating macaroni, and in less then four seconds it had vanished into thin air. A few beautiful fan-shaped rays were afterwards thrown out from the extreme north, nearly parallel with the great arch, but they soon subsided, and left the sky clear, frosty, and ominous of foul weather.—Wick Paper. DUBLIN MUNICIPAL ELECTION.—The quasi Conserva tives who cried out—" touch not the unclean thing"—who first dissuaded Protestants from taking any part in the elec tion for Town-councillors, and then discouraged those who acted contrary to their advice, have triumphed for the pre sent, and Mr. O'Connell has obtained eleven out of fourteen of the wards into which the city has been divided—the fifteenth being neutralised. Nothing discouraged by what has occurred, we still maintain our original opinion, that un der the excitement of proper feelings and with the applica tion of commensurate energy, the Conservative rate-payers possess within themselves the power of becoming a majority, on the burgess-roll, and of returning a considerable majority in the Town-council. But we must bide our time, and ad vance to our proper position, by a process which if slow, is steady, and eventually certain. In what state stood the Protestant electors of Dublin after the first registration un der the reform bill ? Beaten to the very earth. In what state stand they now ? Triumphant and victorious. The process by which that alteration of the balance was obtained, was tardy in its completion—but was it not sure? Yes — and so will that in which we shall henceforth be annually engaged, with the aid of an honest and independent press, and the assistance of a fearless and uncompromising Conser vative Government.—Dublin Evening Mail. AN HONEST MAN !—The other day a Highlandman went into the shop of a haberdasher in the High-street, Perth, and requested a sight of some yellow buttons. A drawer filled with packages was placed before him, and after much trouble he was induced to fix upon a particular kind, of which he bought the requisite number for a coat. On paying for them, Donald cast a wistful look i n t o t h e g li t t er i ng d rawer , and he felt an exceeding inclination to become the possessor of a whole package, without value. Accordingly he com menced a second bargain with the merchant for a vast quan tity, and by dint of manoeuvring got his back turned, when in a twinkling he had a packag e sa f e l y d epos i te d i n h is b reas t pocket. •` The tail o' the merchant's e'e," however, noticed the act, but paying no attention to it, the bargain was con cluded, and Donald paid for the buttons for his waistcoat. A's paid noo," he said, as he laid down the money. " Na, no yet," replied the merchant "that package i' your breast pocket's no paid." " Od, I h a d nae mind o' t, said Do nald, taking it out and laying it on the counter. " What's the price o't ?" " Twelve shillings," was the reply. " That's ower dear," said Donald, " I'll hae naething to do wi't. Deil tak the man's conscience, wad he rob an honest man ?" And so saying, he hurried out of the shop amidst roars of laughter from the shopmen, who had been listening to the colloquy.—Dundee Courier. UNOSTENTATIOUS BENEVOLENCE.--The following inci dent, connected with the meeting on Saturday for the relief of the distressed operatives of Paisley, is deserving of honour able mention :—When Dr. Baird had concluded his touching appeal in behalf of his snffer i "g countrymen, a gentleman, who had hitherto remained a passive, though not an uninter ested auditor, advanced to the table, and placed in the hands of one of the reporters for the press a roll of bank notes, saying tremulously, and in a tone indicative of deep emotion, " Have the goodness to hand this over to the committee, as my subscription to the fund." The reporter said, " In what name ?" The benevolent donor did not seem to think reve lation essential, but ultimately said " Fisk," and hastily left the room. The notes were handed over to the chairman, Mr. Sheriff Rogers, who discovered that the subscription amounted to £5O. Dr. Baird expressed some anxiety to make his personal ackn ow l e d g ement for such a liberal acces sign to the fund, but th e gen erous donor had immediately quitted the house, ow i ng t o w hich the circumstance was known to very few of the persons present. From subse quent inquiries, the committee have ascertained that the poor operatives' kind benefactor is Mr. J. P. Fisk, against whose name the donation s t an d s i n th e published list of subscrip tions. He is evidently one of those who " seek to do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame."--Standard. IMPORTANT MOVEMENT AMONG THE JEWS.—In a lengthened chapter on the opinions, habits, and religious ob servances of the Jews of the metropolis, which appears in the new work, " Light and Shadows of London Life," there is the following account of a very important movement now taking place among that body :—" After the last sentence of this work had been put in type, and just at the very moment the concluding sheet was going to press, I received informa tion of a most important fact, which has not been brought before the public. I allude to the circumstance of a great number of Jews having seceded from the general body, in consequence of the latter placing the rabbinical writings on the same footing as the five books of Moses—just as the Roman Catholics and Pusevites regard the traditions of the Fathers as of equal authority with the Scriptures. These seceders, at the head of whom is Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, one of the most influential individuals in the Jewish com munity, denounce the Talmud' as a mass of outrageous absurdities, and are to adhere exclusively to the authority of Moses in all religious matters. It is impossible to over-esti mate the importance of this event. It cannot fail to shake the Jewish system to its very centre ; for the recognition of the rabbinical writings as of equal authority with the Penta teuch, has been the great source of all the superstition which exists arming the body. There is a remarkable resemblance between this movement and that made by Luther and the other reformers in the sixteenth century, to emancipate the nations of Europe from the thraldom in which they were held by the Romish priesthood. The movement is the more important, inasmuch as it is the first division which has ever taken place among the Jews on any of the essentials of their religion. It cannot fail to produce speedy as well as most momentous results. It has already inspired the body gene rally with the deepest alarm ; but on that point I forbear to dwell. These Jewish dissenters have taken the place in Bur ton-street, formerly occupied by the Owenites, which they have converted into a synagogue, where they now worship Jehovah in accordance with their newly-acquired lights, under the designation of ' The Reformed Jews. The desig nation they have chosen is of itself of very significant import. Who knows but this may be the first step which Providence means to take for paving the way for the conversion of the Jews ?"

The crop, some think, will fall below the estimate, and this induces the holders to keep very firm, in spite of the limited demand, in anticipation of a future improvement. The duty has but few backers at £140,000 to .4'145,000. The official statement will be out in about a mouth. Prices much the same. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT The price of Butter continue to have an upward tendency, and but little disposition is evinced on the part of holders to realise for the present. On the other side the water the merchants are very sanguine ;—we call the currency fully 2s per cwt. higher than on this day se'nnight. Without being able to notice an active de. mand for Beef and Pork, we may remark, that prices are very steady ; and the belief is general, that a considerable advance will occur shortly after Christmas. Bacon is speculatively enquired after, and the supply at market very limited Fine long sides we quote 60s per cwt. HULL CORN MARKET, OCT. 26. The farmer's supply of Wheat to this day's market is more abundant than last week, and for all dry conditioned qualities Is per qr. advance has been paid ; a great proportion of the samples showing are much out of condition, and such do not make any more money than last week and are difficult to quit. In old foreign there is a fair business passing but at no advance on the prices of last week. Very few Oats offering, and late prices supported. Beans of good quality is per quarter dearer, second sorts without alteration. The malting season has scarcely commenced ; there is, however, not much Barley offering, the best malting parcels command full prices, grinding qualities sell at is per stone.

OCT. 27 During the present week, an advance of is to 2s per quarter has been demanded on new and old English Wheat, but only partially acceded to. Fine old Malting Barley maintains former rates, but new might be purchased on rather easier terms ; not much inquiry for grinding. Beans support their value. Oats dull, but not lower. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 27 There was not so good a show of beasts to-day as on this day week, and the quality about an average. Of Sheep, also the sup ply was hardly so good, and choice Weathers scarce, but in good demand. Best Beef aid to 6d, Wether Mutton 6id to 7d, Ewes, &c. 6d to 6id per lb. Only a few Sheep unsold. DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 26 We had a good supply of both Wheat and Oats at market this day. Prime samples of the former brought full prices, while middling and inferior samples sold from 6d to Is per barrel cheaper. Oatmeal commands a free sale at our quotations, with a very limited supply. Bakers' Flour in fair request, at last week's rates—in feriors and thirds in full supply, but the demand rather dull. WORCESTER HOP MARKET, OCT. 22 Our market on Saturday was well attended with buyers of new Hops ; but as the quantity was mostly inferior, few samples but fine coloured sorts were purchased, and those at an advance of 3s per cwt.: low qualities go off heavy, and prices are expected to be stationary. Weighed on Saturday, new, 1,097; old 81. In the week, new, 745, and old 69. Present prices, per cwt. :—Brown 100 s to 120 s; fine, 130 s to 1475; choice, 150 s to ItiOs ; 1839'5, from gos to 1265; 1837'5, from 6o to - 84s; very few old Hops left, LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, OcT. 25 We continue to be moderately supplied with English Wheat, and there has been a good demand this morning, at a decline of Is to 2s per quarter; and we have had a free sale for foreign Wheat is per quarter advance since this day week. Flour is is per sack dearer. The supply of Barley continues moderate, and it is rather higher for the best parcels of malting and distilling qualities. Beans are Is, and White Peas 2s per quarter dearer. Gray Peas are without change in value. The arrivals of Oats are small, and there is an improved demand for New Oats, at fully the prices of this darweek, and good old Oats are selling 6d per quarter advance in prjce. WEDNESDAY, Oct. 27.—The supplies are very short from Mon. day of all descriptions of grain. The trade for all articles is firm at that day's prices. LIVERPOOL POTATOE MARKET, OCTOBER 28 The quantity of Potatoes yet brought seaward continues trifling, but fully equal to the demand, for the neighbouring farmers press such of their growth on the market which is either at all faded, or doubtful to store, and which has the effect of depressing the value of all qualities in a corresponding ratio. For the last two days prices have been more firm, with an improved inquiry for transit into the interior, and one or two of the Manchester dealers have been buying the best runs of . Manx cups at from 2s to 2s Id, and choice descriptions command from 2s 2d to 2s 3d per gelbs. in retail on the quay. Prices current from the farmers : Pink eyed Potatoes 2s 3d to 2s 6d per 601b5.; Cups 2s 2d to 2s 3d; Short Tops 1s gd to 2s. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 26 The arrivals into this port since Tuesday last comprise chiefly a fair supply of Wheat, a moderate quantity of Oats and Flour, with a large increase of Oatmeal from Ireland ; including several parcels of foreign free Wheat received coast wise : in addition to these we have to note 13,066 barrels of Flour from Canada, and 1160 bags from Calcutta ; but of other articles direct from abroad the imports are inconsider able. Our market to-day was tolerably well attended by town and country dealers, and though we had no active business in Wheat, a moderately fair demand was experienced for good qualities of old, both British and Foreign, at the full currency of this day week, but no advance, though attempted, could in any case be established ; the best qualities of new Irish sold slowly at the reduced rates of Friday, whilst a few parcels of inferior were forced off at a much greater reduction. Importers obtained 6d. per barrel advance for choice brands of Flour, with a limited sale.—Sack Flour in slow request at former quotations. Having no new malting Barley at hand, prices remain un certain. Good samples of old are also scarce, and held quite as high as last week.—Prime Malt, being in some request, was the turn dearer, but in other kinds there was no amend ment. Beans and Pease continuing to meet a fair demand, the former realised is. and the latter 2s. to 3s. per quarter over the rates of this day se'nnight. Old Oats, upon a very limited supply, advanced Id to 2d per 45 lbs ; and new, although not readily disposed of, fully maintained our last quotations. In Oatmeal we had not much hnsiness passing to-day, and such remained unaltered in value ; the general runs of old, notwithstanding, were taken off freely at an improvement of is to 2s per 2401bs ; and some rather extensive sales were effected.
