The magistrates have committed one man for trial, charged as a principal in the attempt to murder Mr. Biddulph; his name is Dogherty.—Dublin Evening Mail. The Hon. Martin Ffrench, a minor, second son of Lord Ffrench, the only nobleman in the Repeal Association, is ap pointed to the commission of the peace!—Limerick Chro nicle. Mrs. Frost, the wife of that misguided individual, John Frost, is now reduced to the most pinching indigence, having expended all her money for the defence of her husband. — Bedford Mercury. An apple tree may now be seen in the orchard of Mr. S.

The most propitious weather continues to prevail through out the Northern Counties of England, and in all directions the wheat is nearly gathered in, the quality being found to be unusually good. INLAND COALS.—We understand that in the course of this week, a quantity of coals from Clay Cross, Derbyshire, will be brought to the London market. They are said to be equal to the best Wallsend, and can be bought at a cheaper rate.—Hull paper. According to recent decisions, persons who have no dis trainable property refusing to pay affiliation orders for illegi timate children may be indicted for misdemeanor, and are punishable with fine and imprisonment. THE LATE MR. COCKERILL, TIIE ENGINEER.-The Bel gian government has given directions for the body of Mr. J. Cockerill, who died at Warsaw, to be brought to Belgium. It has also been ordered that funeral honors shall be rendered to his remains on their entry into the Belgian territory.— Times. The Court is expected to arrive at Buckingham Palace in the course of three weeks for the Royal accouchement. The alterations at Buckingham Palace, which relate chiefly to the personal convenience of her Majesty and the Prince, are in a forward state of completion.—Standard. THE FALKIRK BURGHS.—At the late Cheltenham conser vative dinner Major Anderson, in returning thanks for his health being drank, said he had been recently canvassing the Falkirk burghs against Mr. Gillon, and he was happy to tell them his election was certain. SIGNALS OF DISTRESS.—The collectors of assesssd taxes throughout the kingdom have received peremptory orders from the commissioners at Somerset House, to collect all rates in future one month earlier than heretofore, and to make an immediate return to head-quarters of any defaulter. Saturday last was the forty-seventh anniversary of the Duke of Wellington, being gazetted to the lieutenant colonelcy of the 47th regiment, which his Grace commanded in India. The duke's first commission as ensign, in the 33rd regt., bears date March 7th, 1787, fifty-three years ago. Nxw FABRIC.—The Most ingenious invention of weaving glass with silk is proceeding with great success. The pat terns wove are beautiful in the extreme, and have induced many of the nobility to select them for curtains and other ornamental furniture. A SMART PACE—The North Britain and Engineer coaches, the latter of which has been notorious for the furious speed at which it is driven, on Tuesday last went from Carlisle to Kendal, a distance of 44 miles, in three hours and forty minutes, including stoppages.—Cumberland Pacquet. Tivy and Juvenile, two blood mares, lately belonging to Mr. Collett, and which have been run several times at our races, have been shipped for Russia on board the Manchester. Lallah Rookh, a filly, well known here, also took her de parture by the same conveyance.—Worcester Herald. - - PIT PROPS AND RAILWAY SLEEPERS.—The board of customs have ordered that British timber and wood of a de scription and dimensions calculated to be used for pit props and sleepers for railroads, to be added to the list of articles exempt from coast regulations, on removal from port to port in the United Kingdom.—Newcastle Journal. The permanent rails on the line of railway from Gloucester to Cheltenham are now laid down within a few yards of the whole distance between the latter place and the temporary station in course of erection at Gloucester. It is understood, therefore, that the portion of the line will be opened to the public without further delay. HEREFORD FESTIVAL.—We are sorry to hear that the stewards (seven in number) of the recent festival at Here ford, will have to pay about £lOB each, to make up the de ficiency. The Clergymen's Widow and Orphan Society re ceived the total amount of the collections, free of all deduc tions, namely, £1029 17s. 3d.—Musical Journal. It is our painful duty to state that the Countess of Leices ter sustained a compound fracture of the leg, in consequence of a fall from her horse, while riding in the park on Tuesday last. Her ladyship is attended by Mr. Archibald Dalrymple, and we are happy to state was doing as well as could be ex pected on Sunday last.—Bury Post. IMPORTANT.—The officers of the Cork corn market state, that the wheat this season weighs 651bs per bushel, being 51bs,—that barley weighs 551bs,—and that oats weigh 451bs, being 7 to Blbs per bushel heavier than the average of many years past. Upwards of 22,000 barrels (of 1961b5.) oats were pitched for sale on Saturday week.—Cork Constitution. HASTINGS.—We understand that a person from the Board of Ordnance has been sent down, preparatory to the battery and Martello Tower in our vicinity being furnished with guns. At present we have not a cannon to fire for hostile, or what is still better, for festal purposes. There is nothing to prevent a French steam-frigate from visiting our coast at day-break, and sounding the reveille from the cannon's mouth.—Brighton Gazette. ENORMOUS PIKE.—On Saturday last Master Gerard Hoare, son of Archdeacon Hoare, whilst angling in a piece of water belonging to C. Newberry, Esq., at Godstone, hooked a pike, and, after a considerable time, succeeded (with assistance) in landing it, when it was found to measure 3 feet 10 inches long, 28 inches in circumference, and weighed 281bs.—A short time since another was taken from the same pond by Smith, Esq., which weighed 261bs.—Sussex Ex press. FRANCE.—A HINT TO SIIIPOWNERS.—The following is a copy of a circular issued at North Shields this week, from the British Ship Insurance Society, addressed to the owners of vessels :—" Sir,—ln consequence of the present aspect of affairs between this country and France, the committee deem it necessary to recommend great caution should be exercised in sending your ship or ships to any ports in that country." A private letter says, " The French have taken the hint be fore us, very few of their vessels have visited Shields lately." TILE HOPS.—We said in our last that Saturday would be a day of great business in Canterbury, and such was the fact. In the early part of the day the buyers were very shy, and seemed disinclined to purchase at any price. In the after noon, however, considerable business was done. The Bourn hops, the crack produce of East Kent, realised over £2O per cwt., as did those of Mr. Wacher, of Ford, whose computed weight 10 ton 11 cwt. Several other lots of inferior quality were disposed of at £l7 and £lB per cwt. The duty is rising slightly, and some business has been done in favour of £33.000.--Kentish Gazette. LIABILITY TO ASSESSED TAXES.—At the meeting of the commissioners of assessed taxes for the Brentford division of Middlesex, on the hearing of a large number of appeals against the new survey of windows, &c., to the assessed taxes, it was decided that school-houses, when occupied solely for the purposes of charity, and not for emolument, are exempt ; that beer-shops, not being places occupied for the purposes of trade, ire not exempt ; that the windows of warehouses, when n oon the ground floor, or when attached or forming part of any dwelling used for domestic purposes, are liable ; and that persons having lodgers residing in their houses, who are possessed of dogs or other taxable property, or having ar ticles subject to the assessed taxes in use, and neglecting to enter on the notice-paper the names of such lodgers, with the specification of the taxable articles, render themselves liable to be assessed, and compelled to pay the rates for them. PORTSMOUTII.—The Britannia, 120, Captain Drake, bear ing the flag (red at the mizen) of Rear Admiral Sir John Om maney, K.C.8., went out of the harbour to Spithead, on Monday, where she will embark her lower deck guns, and complete her stores, for which every dispatch is being used. The Indus, 84, and Vengeance, 84, are being expedited at this port for immediate commission, and the Clarence, 84, at Plymouth. The Warspite, 50, razee, is to be commissioned shortly, it is supposed for the South American station, to re lieve the Stag, 46, period expired. Volunteer seamen are brought to this port daily for the ships fitting out. The /Etna is gone to Plymouth and Liverpool to collect more, and ten ders are sent to the Irish and Scotch ports for the same pur pose. The Belvidera, 42, it is expected, will be commissioned shortly to proceed to the West Indies, to relieve the Sering apatam, 42, at the Leeward Islands. The Blazer steam-vessel is commissioned at Woolwich, by Liet.t. John Stone, late of the Sheerwater, for service in the West Indies.—Brighton Gazette. STEAM-VESSELS AS MEN OF WAR.—The numerous steamers which trade between the port of London and various places could be made available for the purposes of war at a very short notice, and if only one-third of the steam-ships belonging to the river Thames were to be armed and provided with ammunition in the event of hostilities, a powerful fleet could be sent against the enemy, while their captains and crews, from their knowledge of the English, Dutch, and French coasts, the channel, &c., would be very serviceable. The admiralty have had their attention drawn to this, and have been recently making inquiries into the condition of the steam-vessels and their capabilities for war, from which it appears that the various companies, without any interruption to their general trade, could provide 50 steam-vessels of from 200 to 1200 tons burthen, which, in three weeks, could be converted into men of war. The General Steam Navigation Company have the largest fleet of steamers of any trading community in Europe, amounting in all to 40 sail, and among them are many splendid vessels, including the Monarch, equal to any steam-ship in her Majesty's service, the Cla rence, Giraffe, Ocean, Neptune, Britannia, Countess of Lonsdale, Attwood, Soho, and others, which could easily be converted into war-steamers, and make a very formidable display. We believe the General Steam Navigation Com pany have intimated to the government that they could provide them with a dozen large steam-ships on an emer gency, and from this it will be seen that the port of London alone, independent of Liverpool, Hull, Glasgow, and other places, could furnish steam-vessels sufficient for the navy if Great Britain should be called upon to defend herself against foreign aggressions. —Standard. WHIG TAXATION.—It will he in the recollection of many of our readers that when our present whig rulers were occu pying the benches of the opposition, they were the loudest declaimers against taxation, and constantly urged the repeal of all those taxes (which as they then alleged) pressed most heavily upon the health aad comfort of the people. The window-tax was by them denounced as one of the most vexatious of our war taxes. It was injurious to health, it was a bar to improvement, and excluded both rich and poor from the enjoyment of the blessings of light and air. When it was at length determined to relieve the people from one half of that obnoxious impost, it was stated publicly in the house, that although the revenue could not dispense with the whole of the tax, no new regulations should be introduced to increase the amount, and many alterations were made whereby shops and warehouses were relieved from those stringent enactments by which the collection of the duty had been pre viously enforced. Thene new house e y h which e been recentlys aseeese the place, and by. which every highest amount, has created general dissatisfaction. We are convinced that an appeal must be made to the legislature for relief. The calculation upon which the 10 per cent additional was taken was the old assessment. It is therefore a fraud to collect the 10 per cent. upon a new assessment.—Oxford Herald. The Lancaster town-council, by a majority of one, have ,determined on the discontinuance of the races of that town. No races have taken place at Leominster this year, owing to the reluctance of gentlemen to accept the office of steward, and the want of necessary funds, STOCKPORT VIADUCT.-011 Tuesday, the 26th the last arch of that stupendous piece of architecture, the viaduct of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, at Stockport, was completed. The facetious Sydney Smith, of Edinburgh review celebrity, but now ashamed of his old friends the whigs, has nicknamed Mr. Babbletongue Macauley " Book-in-Breeches." The joke will stick : there never was a better one. WHITE PHEASANT.—On Friday last, William Gibson, Esq., of Ellel, whilst shooting on the grounds at Ashton Park, had the fortune to kill one of those very rare birds, the white pheasant. The bird is perfectly white, and it is Mr. Gibson's intention to have it stuffed and preserved as a natu ral curiosity.—Lancaster Gazette. FACTORY ACCIDENTS.—On Friday last, at Haslingden, an aged man, who works in a factory, by some means got en tangled by a strap, and had his leg taken off. In about 20 minutes after, a young man, son of the unfortunate indivi dual, was killed in the same mill; and the week previous, a boy had his head literally torn off at the same place.—Man chester Guardian. _ Counsi N G CnALLENGR.---A. correspondent informs us that the Newmarket coursers have challenged the Lancashire gentlemen to run twenty-five courses, for £2O each course, and £5OO the main ; as there is no lack of either dogs, spirit, or cash in the north, the match is very likely to be made.— Blackburn Standard. SECOND BLoord.—There is to be seen in a garden belong ing to Mr. William Sellers, innkeeper, Hornby, a pear tree in full bloom, as if it had been in the months of April or May, at this present, though untimely season of the year. The tree is growing in a situation sheltered from the N. and N. E. winds, and had previously produced an abundant crop of pears. How wonderful is the contrast ! whilst we are daily beholding the leaves of trees falling in every direction nipped off by the sharp frost in the mornings.—Lancaster Gazette. EXTRAORDINARY DEATH.—An inquest WaS held on Thursday last at Higham, on the body of Henry Atkinson, aged 11 years. It appeared from the evidence that on the Tuesday preceding the deceased was riding on an ass, and ha-. 1 tied himself on by placing a cord round his own body and round the ass's neck. The ass threw him on the ground, and galloped about half a mile on a rough road with the boy dragging at its heels. He was taken up dead, and very much disfigured. Verdict, accidental death.—Blackburn Standard. CONSECRATION OF H4LLIWELL CHURCH.—The new church at Halliwell, near Bolton, was consecrated on Sun day week, by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chester. After the ceremony a sermon was preached by the Rev. Henry Raikes, chancellor of the diocese. In the afternoon the Lord Bishop preached an excellent sermon from 2d Chronicles, last chapter, 13th and 14th verses, in the course of which he alluded, in forcible terms, to the necessity of providing places of public worship, and the people embracing the opportunities they offer in attending to their spiritual welfare. Collections were made at the close of the service, in aid of the church fund, which amounted, in the whole, to £BO 3s. 1 lid. WARLIKE PREPARATIONS AT JERSEY.—WE extract the following from the Jersey Chronicle:—" Every preparation is making to place the fortifications in this island in a com plete state of defence. The guns are being mounted on Fort Regent, and orders have been issued to mount guns on all the towers recently erected around the coast. There is at Fort Regent a battery of 24 pieces of artillery, which it is in tended to add to those already in use by the Royal Jersey Militia. It is also stated, that, in the event of a war, a brigade, composed of 24 pieces of artillery of the same calibre, would be sent from England to relieve the depOt garrisoned here. We understand, that the 11th Regiment of the Line is shortl7 to be garrisoned in this island, in which case the 45th depot will be quartered at St. Peter's Barracks. Among the measures in course of operation by the bank for contracting the currency, one is said to be the disposal of those immense mortgages on the Rutland property, which have been for so many years held by the bank, and which be ing an improper banking asset has always been a great incum brance to them. The rumour is, that one of the wealthy in surance companies, for whom this would be as proper an in vestment as it is an improper one for the Bank of England, will take it off their hands. The disposal of the dead weight to any large amount is considered perfectly impracticable at present through any such medium ; but it is conceived, if the bank were so inclined, that an arrangement might be made with the government to substitute savings -bank stock for some portion of it. The general persuasion is, however, that the bank will cling to this security with as much perti nacity as ever. As far as it goes, there can be no doubt that to get rid of their mortgages would be a most sensible !did. —Times. COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—A dreadful accident which will probably be attended with loss of life, occurred at Halliwell Colliery, near Bolton, on Tuesday morning. Two boys, one named Settle, aged 18, and the other Rylands, about 12 years of age, had just got into the tub to descend the shaft, when, from some cause or other, they were both thrown out, and fell to the bottom, a distance of 50 yards. They were soon afterwards brought out, and taken to their respective homes, and Mr. Chadwick, surgeon, sent for, when it was discovered that the eldest had both thighs and one arm severely frac tured ; and the younger, his legs fractured, and his head and face severely injured. They both lie in a dangerous state, slight hopes being entertained of their recovery. EXTRAORDINARY OBSTRUCTION ON THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.—On Thursday, the Bth instant, as the first train from Leeds towards Manchester, arrived near the Bradford and Huddersfield station at Brighouse, the signal was made to " stop the train," and assemble the con stables, owing to an obstruction of the way caused by a person of the name of John Holroyd, who had collected a number of men from the. neighbourhood, and persisted, in defiance of the constables of the railway, whom they overpowered, in placing wheelbarrows with stones, &c. on the rails, notwith standing they were cautioned that great loss of ife might follow to the passengers of the train expected every minute. A strong force of constables were soon brought up, and three of the parties taken into custody and conveyed, handcuffed, to Halifax, the most active having been fined £5 and costs for the trespass ; and the other two, who it appeared had acted under the influence of Holroyd, were (by the request of Captain Laws, who was in the train,) admonished and dis charged, when an application was made for a warrant to apprehend, under Lord Seymour's act, John Holroyd, of Brighouse, who was taken into custody on Saturday, and committed to take his trial at the next assizes, on the most incontrovertible evidence ; which, in all probability, will be the first commitment under this very useful act of the last session of parliament, which, for this serious offence, awards a punishment of not exceeding two years' imprisonment, with or without hard labour, at the discretion of the court. It appears that Holroyd is a person of some property, and the case altogether seems a very proper one to make an example of. We understand that Holroyd baricaded himself in his house for thirty-six hours before he could be taken. The extraordinary and reckless conduct of this man, who, we un derstand, is a land-surveyor, arises, we belive, out of some dispute as to a road which the railway company have diverted. —Manchester Guardian. INCENDIARY FIRES.—On Sunday morning last, about a quarter before two o'clock, a fire was discovered to have ori ginated in one of the bleaching rooms at Mr. T. B. Cromp ton's mill, Farnworth Bridge, near Bolton. An alarm was instantly given, and the two engines at the works were promptly brought out. Mr. Barnes's engine from Moses' Gate, and that from Messrs. Crompton's at Prestolee, were also immediately on the spot, and by great exertions the flames were extinguished by about half-past four o'clock. Sergeant Moody, and the county police at Farnworth, were in attendance, and of great service. On Monday evening, about nine o'clock, a fire again broke out at another bleach ing room, at the same works, and it was apprehended from its contiguity to the paper and other rooms that great damage would ensue, and cocsequently a messenger was despatched to Bolton on horseback for the town's engines. The borough police on duty, hearing the alarm of fire, and seeing an en gine pass through the streets, drawn by horses at full gallop, immediately sprung their rattles, and rang the fire bells. Before their arrival, the fire had fortunately been got under, and they were not brought into play. That the fires have been the work of incendiaries there p soatcely a doubt, from the manner in which they took placol ant,from the fact that there has been a disagreement beten 'Mr. Crompton and the workpeople ; thirty men and . I boys having been dis charged on Saturday night, in consequence of their refusing to work at reduced wages. The dainage sustained will be about £lOOO, but the property is insured to the full amount. REPRESENTATION OF YORK.—On Thursday, great ex citement was caused amongst the freemen and electors of this city, by the appearance of a long address from Mr. C. F. Barkley, who contested the city on the radical interest, in 1835, and who was much mixed up in the parliamentary pro ceedings to disfranchise the freemen, on the ground of bri bery, in the following year. He has declared himself a can didate for the representation of York at a future election. Some time ago, Mr. Yorke, of London, son of Redhead Yorke, who was imprisoned for sedition during the admi nistration of Lord Castlereagh, was brought forward by the Radical Asociation ; since then the two secretaries of that association have been distributing sovereigns to the " liberal" freemen, as they allege, in payment, by the Hon. E. Petre, of the sums which he promised nearly a dozen years ago I. This conduct is denounced in the city as bribery—particu larly as the widows and orphans of deceased freemen, who voted for Mr. Petre, have been forgotten. For this conduct Mr. Barkley boldly denounces his old friends, for paying this head money, and then asks Why the claims of the widows and orphans of the deceased freemen have been utterly neg lected ? What could have been more calculated to show the prospective character of the late payments than the fact that these widows and orphans remain unpaid for the votes of their deceased relatives, whilst the still living voters, who can again serve a /ibera/candidate, have all received their almost forgotten claims." Where the money has come from has not been ascertained. It is pretty clear, however, that Mr. Petre has not given it, and that it has not been subscribed in York. Mr. Barkley's address will doubtless create a further division amongst the liberal party, which are now in a miserable mi nority in the corporation where they were formerly masters, and which is fast dwindling down into insignificance. No doubt can be entertained that, let an election come when it may, two conservatives will be returned for York. KIDDERMINSTER.—CREDULITY AND SUPERSTITION.— A singular case of this nature has recently occurred in Kid derminster, the narration of which will, we hope, have a ten dency to put confiding female servants upon their guard against the artful tricks and designs so frequently practised upon them by pretended sybils, commonly called fortune tellers. It seems that on the evening of Thursday last one of this tribe called at the house of Mr. Hill, hat-manufacturer, in High-street, under pretence of being a " mender of broken chairs," and asked if any work of that sort was required. Being answered in the negative, she expressed a desire to tell the servant-maid, Susan, her fortune ; but this " insight into futurity" was declined by the latter, at least for the present ; the sybil, however, would not be so easily discouraged, and therefore wished to know if she (Susan) had a nice new gown, such a one as would do to be married in, as such would be her lot before long. This prospect was too charming for Susan to contemplate unmoved, and in a thrice produced to the arch impostor a fine new gown, which met the approval of the latter ; who then drew forth a " fine gold" wedding ring, which Susan contemplated with feelings of delight, and offered to exchange it for the gown until the next day, when, if Susan did not like it, she would return the gown, and take the ring back again. The proposed exchange was soon agreed upon, and the impostor departed ; but the next day she never made her appearance ; and the poor girl, feeling uneasy, de termined to examine her prize, which she had carefully wrapt up, and deposited in a place of safety, when, to her utter surprise and mortification, the " gay gold ring," for which she had given her new gown in exchange, turned out to be nothing more or less than a brass article worth about one penny. Immediately on making this discovery, Susan sent for her mother, accompanied by whom she visited the differ ent lodging-houses in the town, with a view to discover the woman ; but she had prudently withdrawn herself in the in terval and was not to be found. Finding all their efforts un availing, they at length made application to the police, but were soon informed that their best plan would be to rest con tented with the present loss, coupled with a caution to Susan, to be careful how she obtained a wedding ring in future.— Staffordshire Gazette. AWFUL CONFLAGRATION AT GATEHOUSE.—We lament to state, that the upper cotton mill, of four stories, with thirty n w e i r n y d , o w i including s n e ach seventy-four stor y , d ,was valuable to mtau totally ch de i - - d s t e r r o s y t o e d o d b y t h fi a tr e th o e n p t h r o e pr e morning tor s, m of e s W s r e s d . n B e s i d r t a s w y h l s e a l n t d i s C u o n . insured the buildings, and Mr. Davidson the machinery at their full value. By this accident two hundred people are thrown out c f employment. Accounts from the Hague, October 9, state that his Ma jesty, William 1., will take the title of 'William Frederic, Count of Nassau. Some symptoms of civil war have begun to manifest them selves in La Vendee. Prayers have ceased to be offered in several churches for Louis Philippe. CEYLON COFFEE CROP.—We are informed, on the au thority of persons from the interior, that the prospects of the coming coffee crops are most encouraging ; the bushes being loaded with fruit, under the weight of which they already bend.—Colombo Observer, Aug. 3. A private letter from Paris states that the English were quitting that city—that the hotel-keepers were pulling long faces—that English bank-notes were at a discount of tour sous per one pound, and that the funds were expected to go lower. ATHENS, SEPT. IG.—Sir Robert and Lady Inglis are here, and are staying with Sir Edmund Lyons. Accounts have just been received of the death of an English traveller, Mr. Edward Archdall, who was travelling in the north of Greece. He expired at a village near Livadia, it is said from a fever brought on by exposure to the sun. COAL MINES AT THE HAVANNAH.—SeveraI mines of capital bituminous coal have been discovered at Havannah, fully equal to the best English. This is good news for the West India and South American steam-ships from England, that are projected to touch outward and homeward at the great West India port.—Journal of Commerce. Admiral Hugon, whose arrival off the Dardanelles has been announced, had not, on the 19th ult., left the coast of Greece, if we are to believe the following letter written on that day by a French resident at Athens, which we find in the Commerce :—" The French fleet, commanded by Admi ral Hugon, is at the Piraeus, and, it appears, does not intend to leave these shores. More than two hundred of its officers have taken out licenses to shoot. The admiral expects to pass the winter in this roadstead. The Powers, it is said, have applied to the Greek government to join them, and to refuse the French fleet any shelter." The Progre's du Pas de Calais states that Prince Louis Napoleon informed a gentlemen who visited him in the Con ciergerie at Paris, that when he landed at Bolougne, he had in his coat pocket a pocket-book, in which were English notes for £3OOO, and a considerable sum in gold, all of which, when his coat was returned to him, after having been dried from his immersion in the water, were missing. This jour nal adds, that if they did not fall into the sea, and any one has happened to find them, they may be sent to the prince at Ham. The Emancipation of Toulouse has a long report of a re form manifestation in that town, at which M. Arago, the astronomer, but no conjuror, was the great gun. The follow ing were some of the toasts : _ _ _ "To the principle and triumph of democracy." " To perseverance (Id. est, revolution.)" " To the alliance of the people ! " "To the democratic propagandism ! " . . " To the revolutionary propagandism, which is to restore to Italy her independence and Poland her nationality. To Germany her free unity, and to Spain democracy. To Bel gium and France one country. To France her preponderance abroad, and the sovereignty of the people at home. To the oppressed people to whom the first cannon shot will give emancipation. To the National Convention." DEATH FROM A POISONOUS SNAKE COOKED IN FOOD.— A very melancholy event took place a few days ago in Zilla Moorshedabad. The wife of a Mahomedan in Tarkpoor, cooked some vegetables for her children (three boys) in which she had unconsciously cut up a small poisonous snake. When the boys were eating the vegetables with their rice, one of them found in his plate a piece of the snake, and immedi ately asked his mother if she had put fish in the vegetables. The mother was surprised, and replied in the negative, upon which the boy showed her the piece of snake he had found. The woman was still more astonished, and bade her sons to eat no more. She then examined the dish of vegetables, and found that she had inadvertantly cut up a snake with the vegetables. But she discovered her error too late. All her three sons died shortly after, from having eaten of the, no doubt, poisoned vegetables.—Bengal Commercial Adver tiser, Aug. 5. MORE FRAUDS or THE CHINESE.—We have been given to understand that a considerable amount of fraud is disco vered in the China goods lately imported per several vessels; and in order to protest against the same, a meeting of several merchants met the day before yesterday in the house of Ebra him Cadoo, the owner of the ship Atiet Rahimon, when in their presence, twenty-five chests of raw silk were opened, and instead of twenty bundles, as usual, only nine bundles of silk were found in each ; and to make up the weight, small pieces of China bricks were discovered, wrapt up in grass in the midst of them. We have also learned, that in China piece goods, similar frauds have been practised,—small planks and some such weighty articles being wrapt up in the middle of the pieces. It is supposed that these pranks must have been practised either at Macao, or by boatmen in bringing the same there from Canton ; for individuals experienced in China trade gave it as their opinion, on examining the same, that it could never have been done by the original merchants in China.—Doorbin, July 22. IMITATION OP THE HUMAN VOICE.—We are informed by the Fanal, Brussels paper, that M. Glantz, one of the first mechanics of Vienna, has been at work for several years in forming an instrument, which his ingenious mecha nism has at length succeeded in making imitate the sounds of the human voice. The instrument, it is said, is now completed, and that it acts in a manner altogether unex pected. It is stated to be a chef d'oeuvre of mechanism. By pressing a sp r i ng , it execu te s different melodies in a tenor voice, a barytone or deep bass. This instrument, it is further more added, excites, as it might naturally be supposed to do, if the account of it be correct, the most lively sensations in the salons of Vienna. M. Glantz intends to make an auto maton, in the head of which he will introduce his voice instrument, the mechanism of which occupies very little room. THE CAMP AT BELMONT.—The Courier du Bas Rhin announces that the camp of 15,000 men destined to be formed at Belmont has already began to receive troops ; 9000 men are already in barrack there, and this number will he increased so soon as new barracks are completed and rendered capable of receiving them. ACCURATE INTELLIGENCE.—The National of Wednes day announces, that on the arrival of the intelligence that an attempt had been made to set fire to the dockyard at Sheer ness an emeute burst forth in London, upon which occa sion the people rushed upon the hotel of one of the ministers, and sacked his mansion ! GREAT PUBLIC DINNER TO DR. THOMAS ROLPH.—On Tuesday last a public dinner was given in the City-hall to Dr. Thomas Ralph, as a proof of the estimation in which he is held by the citizens of Toronto, for the unremitting exer- tions used by him, during his recent tour through the United Kingdom, to bring before the British public the resources and capabilities of this province. The hall was most taste fully decorated with oak boughs and evergreens, together with the flags and banners of the different societies in the city. A full-length portrait of the Queen was placed at the head of the room over the centre table. The tables were ranged in four divisions to accommodate the large party who attended on this occasion. The chair was occupied by his honor the Vice-Chancellor, and the vice-chair by W. B. Jarvis, Esq., Sheriff of the Home District. The vice-presidents at the other tables were the Mayor of the city, the Honourable J. Elmsley, and Mr. Barwick.—(Toronto Patriot, of Sept. 18.) Dr. Rolph delivered, on his health being drunk, a long and interesting speech. THE DEVIL AND A SOCIALIST.—One night last week, a young man, who has unfortunately imbibed the dangerous and foolish principles of Owen, was in company with his sweetheart in the lotter's house, when the subject of Social ism came on the carpet for discussion. The young man had moralized to a great length, and, thinking that he had van quished every opposing argument, got so desperate as to boldly assert there was not such a thing as a Devil, adding that if there was, he wished he might pop his head in the house, and convince him, by ocular demonstration, of his existence. The hour when ghosts and hobgoblins generally take their rambles was fast approaching, and still our Socialist con tinued to express his belief and wish. Just at the crisis a young man who labours in the dark domains of the earth, was on his way home, and hearing the voices of the loving pair, resolved upon giving them a "start." For this purpose he softly lifted the latch of the door, and stealing gently into the lobby, popped his sable head —and only his head—round the partition, in full view of the di s b e li ev er in his Satanic majesty. The young man's eyes caught the object before him, and believing that his wish was granted him, sprang from the embrace of his sweetheart, leapt on the floor in ter ror, and did not know where to fly or what to do in order to be relieved from his dreadful situation. The young man who had been so desperate as to present his black face before them, was greatly amused, though he could not see why he should be an object of terror to the young desperado, who will no doubt hereafter believe in the existence of, being who goes about as a roaring lion.—Whitehaven Heraila w FRIDAY, OCTOBER N.W. moderate AltRIVED.—Anna Maria, Bakker, from Nantes—Gazelle, —, from St. Petersburg—Hoop, --, from Dordt—Auguste, De Jaeghere, from Ostend—and Thomas Tattersall, from Drogheda.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET,Ocy. 16, In the Circular of last week, the aspect of political affairs was noticed as producing an unfavourable effect upon the market; the stringent measures of the Bank of England have contributed again this week to the depressed state of feeling, and the market has worn a languid apppearance, with a decline in prices of fully id per lb on all descriptions of American during the last fortnight, In Brazil, Egyptian and Surat little or no change can be noticed.
