• THE CORALS. (From Richardson's " Geology for Beginners.") Beneath the realm which the waves o'erwhelm, In the seas of the torrid zone, Our ancient race have a dwelling-place In a world that is all our own ! Earth boasts no spots like the fairy grots, Where we build our sparry cell; Nor can its bowers produce such flowers As in depths of ocean dwell. And our forms so strange we ever change, As over the deep we roam ; And our varied hue is ever new, As we vary our ocean home. In tranquil calms we wave like palms, Or bend like the drooping willows ; Or we climb to the verge of the foaming surge, And dash to the winds its billows ! In peaceful haunts, like tender plants, We twine our fragile forms ; Or we build a rock to the tempest's shock, That mocks its fiercest storms ! And we rear the walls of those marble halls, As a precipice high and steep, Till a new-found isle is seen to smile, Like a beacon o'er the deep ! By reaveless hands, those new-born lands Are strewn with blessings rife ; Till man appears. and claims the spheres, To being raised, and life ! And we join the piles of those fossil isles, Till they spread from shore to shore ; And we build from the caves of the ocean waves, A world unknown before. • Then say, proud man, how poor the plan Of thy pyramids, castles, towers ; How vain the boasts of thy mightiest hosts, Or their labours, compared with ours ! Though such our lot, yet we are—what ? In the scale of being vast, The meanest germs ; of life's poor worms, The lowest and the last ! Yet though obscure, and low and poor, And lost in distance dim ; We still can raise our Maker's praise, And pour our thanks to Him. THE GARDENER OF THE HALL. When She was born, I bad been long the Gardener of the Hall. The shrubs I planted with my hand were rising thick and tall ; My heart was in that work and place, and little thought or care Had I of other living things than grew and flourished there — Beneath the happy shelter of The Old Manorial Hall. At first She came, a rosy child, a Queen among my flowers, And play'd beside me while I toil'd, and prattled on for hours : And many a morning, in the plot of ground she call'd her own. She fonud an unexpected show of blossoms freshly blown, And sent her merry echoes through The Old Manorial Hall. Thus eighteen summers, every day, I tended her and them ; I watch'd the opening of the bud—the shooting of the stem ; And when her childly laughter turn'd to silent maiden smiles, I felt in heaven whene'er she pass'd, and scarce on earth the whiles : How could I ever think to leave The Old Manorial Hall ? One day, when Autumn's last delights were nipp'd by early cold, It felt like death upon my ear, that she was bought and sold! That some rich lord, she hardly knew, had come to bear away The pride of all the country round—the poor man's hope and stay, The glory and the darling of The Old Manorial Hall. I heard her plight to him the troth she could not understand, I saw her, weeping, turn away, and wave her parting hand : And from that hour nothing on earth has gone with me but wrong, For soon I left the garden, and the home I loved so long,— It was a haunted house to me, That Old Manorial Hall ! And now I wander up and down—l labour as I can, Without a wish for friend or rest—a weary-hearted man ; Yet, at the bottom of my thoughts the saddest lies, that She, With all her wealth and noble state, may none the happier be, Than 1, the poor old Gardener of The Old Manorial Hall ! LITERARY NOTICES. THE MONTHLY'S. SECOND NOTICE. Handy Andy. Samuel Lover. Illustrated by the Author. This month's number brings Handy Andy to a conclusion. It has been throughout a well sustained tale,—replete with interest, and presenting good portraits of the Irish charac ter. The closing portion of the story is well managed, and the dramatis persons capitally brought together—the good rewarded, the bad punished, as it should be, at the fall of the curtain. We perceive that Mr. Lever announces, on the Ist of January, a new work, to be entitled " L.S.D., or accounts of Irish Heirs." We hope this new story will jump at once into a large circulation. The success of " Handy Andy" warrants public confidence in the author. The illustrations will be executed by Mr. Lover himself, as in his present publication. Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry. By William Carleton. No. 5. Curry and Co., Dublin. We have seen nothing of this serial since the first num ber, and can therefore say little about its contents, as they are the conclusion of an old story, and the commencement of a new one. " The Battle of the Factions" is a horrid detail of a fight, at which the blood runs cold with horror. The illustrations, of which there are several, are very good. The Governess, or Modern Education. By Madame Roofrey. This instructive work continues its useful career, in a simple and unpretending manner. The contents are well written in the English, Italian, and French languages. The Magazine of Domestic Economy. Orr and Co., Pa- temoster-row. This usful work contains many extremely valuable com munications. Amongst other matters, we observe a bio graphical notice of the late Dr. Channing. A continuation of the article entitled "Domestic and Mineral Waters" is ex tremely well worth reading —as also the directions from the Humane Society on the subject of " Suspended Animation." As some of our skaters, at the close of this month, or the be ginning of the next year, perchance, may come in for a dip, we draw attention to the subject. On the subject of " Frosted Potatoes " there is some valuable information. " The Larder of the Kitchen" contains many good hints, which the lover of good eating will, no doubt, avail himself of. A communication on " Salted Pork" will prove inte resting to the housekeeper ; besides various other things ably discussed. Ainsworth's Magazine. Wareing Webb, Liverpool. " The Editor's Tale of Windsor Castle" is continued at some length in the present number. It is admirably illus trated by George Cruikshank ; on steel and wood cuts by W. Delamothe. Serjeant Talford has three very charming son nets. Mr. Brooks, the Hon. Julia Maynard, Laman Blanchard, Edward Kenerley, Miss Pardoe, John Oxenford, W. Francis Ainsworth, Miss Costello, Camilla Toulmin, Miss Skelton, Uncle Sam, George Raymond, and others have talented and amusing contributions. This number is a very good one. Ainsworth has made a stand amongst the perio dical literature of the day, and maintains his ground. In our notice of the Dublin publications we ought to have acknow ledged Mr. Walmsley, bookseller, Church-street, as the agent for them. The New Statistical Account of Scotland. No. XL. Edinburgh : Blackwood and Sons. The present number of this valuable publication gives ex tensive detailed descriptions of Dunnottar, Strachan, and several other places in the county of Kincardine. The ge neral observations on the county are very just, and they de serve to be extensively read. Forfarshire is commenced, and the accounts of the several townships, of the trade, their ec clesiastical condition, and their general aspect, seem to be drawn up with great care ; indeed they underwent a complete revision immediately prior to the issue of the number. The work, therefore, brings down all the existing information to the latest date, having been revised in October last. On referring to the previous numbers, we find we can now re peat the praise we have often acceded to the work, of being distinguished by uniform accuracy and continued interest. We perceive that Boz issues a new serial work entitled " Martin Chuzzlewit." A monthly work is about to be issued in this town, which will be highly interesting to the inhabitants, and those who an customs an d th i ngs gone b y ." W e rega rd " old times believe it will be entitled " Ancient Liverpool." Punch. " Punch" continues as amusing as ever —his tone is as in dependent as usual—his wit does not seem to gag, while his artists and designers app ear to be blessed wi th surprising faculties for inventing queer things. Our havin g frequently quoted his waggaries will prove our estimation of his talents. The review of the Times newspaper is a happy bit of pl ea . santry. " Punch" considers " The Times" a very re a p eda _ ble publication. Singing for the Million. By Joseph Mainzer. London Mainzer. This is the sixteenth edition of Mr. Mainzer's practical course of musical instruction. It is written in a simple, easy style ; and the examples are both appropriate and instructive. As an exposition of Mr. Mainzer's system, this little work is complete. The Post Magazine Almanackfor 1843. London : Patetnan. One of the cheapest and most useful almanacks which have hitherto been published. SINGULAR REWARD FOR THE DETECTION Of A FELONY. —A reward of 1.:5 10s, and an acre of land for five years rent free, to any poor man, has been offered for giving information which may lead to the conviction of some persons who, on the 9th of November or early on the following morning, wil fully and maliciously cut down au avenue of young trees, the property of Richard Norton Cartwright, Esq., growing in the abbey grounds of Ixworth.—Suffolk Herald. , _ s MISCELLANEOUS.

During the last month the amount paid into the savings' kank of Paris was 2,771,468 f., by 19,557 persons, of whom 2,513 were now depositors. The amount of reimbursements was 2,216,000 f. LONDON AND DOVER RAILWAY.—The gross traffic re ceipts for the week ending Dec. 8 amounted to £1,459 15s. 3d., being an increase on the week previous of nearly 50 per cent., consequent upon the opening to Ashford.

Jordan, the clerk, why robbed the London Joint Stock Bank, has now returned all the stolen money, except £4O, having returned £3OO additional of the balance in the course of Monday. An accident occurred on the London and Birmingham railway, about two miles from Berkhampstead, whereby four persons were seriously, though it is hoped not fatally, injured. Sir Robert Peel anticipated an increase of £210,000 from the additional duties on spirits in Ireland. Instead of this, there is likely to be a deficit in consequence of a great in crease of illicit distillation. On Sunday last, about three o'clock, some evil-disposed person or persons wilfully set fire to two stacks, one wheat and one oats, the property of Mr. Savidge, farmer, of Bonny, Notts, by which the whole were destroyed. There are in France two opinions about English high churchmanship ; the first, that it is verging to Popery ; the second, that it desires to beat down Popery in such a way as to succeed to its ecclesiastical dominion. Messrs. G. and T. Chidley, of Bromsgrove, Worcester shire, nail-makers, have closed their works. By this cir cumstance upwards of 800 individuals are thrown out of employment.

It is a common mistake with amateurs to imagine that the briskness of Champagne is a proof of its superior quality. The fact is, that in seasons when the grapes of Champagne do not thorougly ripen, sugar is employed. In a recent speech at Chester, the Lord Bishop said that, within the last forty years, there had been more churches built in three dioceses alone—namely, London, Winchester, and Chester (probably amounting to 400) than in the whole country, from the Reformation to the year 1800. On Friday last a shooting party took place at Dilworth Castle, the seat of the Hon.

The Globe says that ministers intend to propose a fixed duty of 12s. on corn in the next session, but the Standard flatly contradicts the statement, and declares it to be im possible on account of the various treaties by which Great Britain is bound. GRAND REVIEW IN INDIA.—We learn from private let ters that it was the intention of Lord Ellenborough, in course of the present month to view the whole of the troops who will by that time have returned from Affghanistan, 35,000 in number. A correspondent of the Times asks by whom, and under what regulations, the very large sum collected last summer, In pursuance of the Queen's letter for the distressed manu facturers,- has been distributed ? The public has never yet lerrned even the amount of the collection. It has been stated in a paragraph which originated (we be lieve) with the Sheffield Iris, that Lord Morpeth was pre paring a work on the subject of the United States. We may say with confidence that there is no ground for the statement. —Leeds Mercury. Mr. Carpue, the eminent surgeon, recovered from the di rectors of the London and Brighton Railway, on Thursday last, by an action, in the Queen's Bench, £250 damages for injury inflicted by an accident, in Oct. 1841.

THE ARTESIAN WELL AT GRENELLE.—The water from this well now continues to run perfectly pure, and of the same temperature as at first (from 80 deg. to 90 deg. Fahr). M. Mulot has taken great pains to ascertain the exact quan tity which flows from the aperture, which is now stated to be 4754 gallons in twenty-eight seconds. A poor youth, named Charles Descombe, aged 17, went into a house at Brixham last week, where a bark furnace was being used for boiling fishing nets, and having gone to sleep on the top of the furnace fell into the burning liquor, and was so dreadfully injured that death soon relieved him of his sufferings. A lunatic escaped on the 4th of November from the asylum at Haverfordwest. The keeper a few days after met him in a field at night, and a severe battle with sticks took place; in which the man in his senses came off second best, and the other has not been heard of since. The magistrates have discharged the keeper. RUSSIAN STEAM NAVIGATION.—TWO very fine new st eamers, of about 800 tons each, with engines of 260 horse power, by Maudslay and Field, are now in the East India Dock, on the po i nt o f d eparture f o r Constantinople.

THE LAST AMERICAN STORY. The New York papers received by the last advices contain the following singular particulars connected with the mur derer Colt, who was to have been executed on the 15th ult. The preparations for the execution were all made at an early hour. At nine o'clock the outer door of his cell was opened, and the usual breakfast of the prisoners served up in their different cells. Dr. Anthou visited the cell of Colt at about eleven o'clock, in company with Colt's brother, for the purpose of making preparation for his marriage with Ca roline Ilensbaw. At about half-past eleven o'clock Messrs. Graham and Emmett, his counsel, visited his cell and remained for about half an hour. A little before twelve o'clock Caroline Ren shaw made her appearance, in company with the brother of Colt and John Howard Payne, who entered the cell with her. They were then married by the Rev. Dr. Anthon, in presence of David Graham, Robert Emmett, Justice Merritt, the sheriff, John Howard Payne, and Colt's brother. She was dressed in a straw bonnet, green shawl, a claret-coloured. cloak, trimmed with red cord, and a muff. Her appearance denoted much anxiety, and she was much thinner than when a witness,on the trial. After their marriage Dr. Anthon re mained in the cell with them a few minutes and then left them alone, she remaining for nearly an hour. There was considerable excitement among the prisoners in the various cells, and Sears, who is confined for the murder of M`Donough, was exceedingly inquisitive as to all the.pre parations for the execution. The prisoners in the upper cells, the windows of which overlook the rear courtyard, where the gallows was erected, contrived to get a view of the scaffold by holding a piece of looking-glass from the small apertures in the side of the cell, the reflection of which brought it to their sight. From every cell an arm could be seen with a piece of glass in the fingers, evincing that the holder was anxiously waiting for the hour of execution. At this period of the eventful day the scene was exciting and thrilling in the extreme. Within that narrow cell were the husband and wife, but just married, yet bidding each other farewell for the last time on earth, with the awful cer tainty that one would be a lifeless corpse, and the other a widow, before the setting of the sun that was then throwing its rays into the otherwise cheerless place. At the door stood Vultee, the deputy-sheriff, one hand on the sliding bolt of the cell-door, and the other holding the padlock and key. On the corridor connected with the cell was the sheriff, pac ing up and down on one side, evidently deeply affected with the contemplation of the shocking ceremony he was about to perform. Close by the little bridge which united the two corridors stood two friends of the prisoner; in the corridor below were about thirty persons, principally those connected in some way or other with the administration of justice ; and on the faces of the whole there was a most extraordinary as pect of solemnity, altogether different from what has usually , been seen in that building, even just previous to an execu tion. It appeared as if a terrible event was about to happen they could not avert, and that would plunge them all in pro found regret. At last, about one o'clock, Colt's brother. Samuel, again arrived, and entered his cell ; he was still en gaged in conversation with his wife, who was sitting on the foot of the bed, convulsed with tears. Colt's brother, Samuel, and his wife remained in the cell about ten mi nutes longer, when both left. His brother was deeply affected, and looked more ghastly than even Colt him self. His wife could scarcely support herself, so violent were her feelings and acute her sufferings. She stood at the door of the cell for a minute, Colt kissed her passionately,' strained her to his bosom. and watched her receding form as she passed into the corridor. Here she stood and sobbed convulsively as though her heart would break, for five minutes. At last she was led away by Colt's brother, and his friends followed. Colt then desired to see the sheriff, who went into his cell. Colt then told him emphatically that he was innocent of the murder of Adams, and that be never intended to kill him ; he also told him that he still had hopes that something would intervene to save him from being hung, and begged him not to execute the sentence of the law upon him. The sheriff told him to banish all hope of that kind, for that lie must die at four o'clock. He then requested to see the sheriff's watch, and set his own by it to a minute. He then asked to see Dr. Anthon, and the latter went into his cell, and remained in prayer with him for about ten minutes. At the close of this, Colt again sent for the sheriff, and said to him, " If there are any gentlemen present who , wish to see me and take their leave of me, I shall be happy I to see them." He then requested the keeper, Mr. Greene, to let him be left alone until the last moment. This was about 2 p.m. His cell was closed and he was left alone till twenty minutes to three, when some friends of the sheriff apprehending that he might attempt to commit suicide, one of the deputy sheriffs, Hillyer, went to his cell door, and requested to wish him " good bye." Colt was then walking up and down his cell, but turned round on the door opening, smiled, shook him by the hand, and kissed him, as did several of those who had just previously bid him farewell in this life. He said to Hillyer—" God bless you, and may you prosper in this life, which is soon to close on me." From this time to three o'clock, the excitement around the prison increased tre mendously; and the feelings of those in the prison were also worked up to a pitch of great intensity. We had written the whole of the above at a quarter to three o'clock this afternoon. At that time Colt was alive. No one entered his cell till precisely five minutes to four o'clock, at which time sheriffs Hart and Westervelt, dressed in uniform, with Dr. Anthon, proceeded, to the cell. On the keeper opening the door, Dr. Anthon, who was first, drew back, threw up his hands and eyes to heaven, and uttering a faint ejaculation, turned pale as death and retired. " As I thought," said the keeper. "As I thought," said we. And going into the cell, there lay Colt on his back, stretched out at full length on the bed, quite dead, but not cold. A clasp-knife, like a small dirk knife, with a broken handle, was sticking in his heart. He had stabbed himself about the fifth rib on the left side. We felt his temples, and they were warm. His vest was open, the blood had flown freely, and his hands which were placed across his belly, were very bloody ; and he had evidently worked and turned the knife round and round in his heart, after he had stabbed himself, until he made a large gash. His body was laid out quite straight on the bed as if laid out for a funeral by others. His mouth and his eyes were partly open. Dr. Hosack and several others went into his cell, and pronounced him dead. The coroner was ready at hand, took charge of the body, and locked the cell. _ _ Most strange to say, just at this moment, the large cupola of the tombs was discovered to be on fire, and burned furi ously ; so that if he had not killed himself, in consequence of the execution being postponed to the last moment, it is very probable; that in the confusion arising from the fire, and the mob breaking into the Tombs, Colt would either have made his escape or he would not have been hung: It caught accidentally from a stove that was in the cupola, the whole outside work of which was consumed. The conduct of those concerned need no comment. The public will pass judgment on them. At the hour of seven o'clock coroner Archer, with a jury selected by his deputy, Mr. Abner Milliken, assembled in the court-room, of the General Session, in order to investigate the cause of death, when the jury returned a verdict, " that John C. Colt came to his death by a wound inflicted by him self in his left breast with a knife, but the jury are unable to say by what means he became possessed of the knife." GOOD EFFECTS OF THE NEW TARIFF.—Since the new tariff came into operation, all sorts of butchers' meat have been so much reduced in price in Exeter market, that many a poor labourer and artisan has had the advantage of enjoying the taste of animal food, of which numbers of those useful classes have been too long debarred, and who, from their hearts,*can thank Sir Robert Peel for his new tariff. And while a few are abusing the Premier, tens of thousands are pouring on him their heartfelt blessings.—Western Lumi nary. AERIAL CARRIAGES, OR TRAVELLING THROUGH THE AIR.—We stated, some weeks ago, on the anthority of The Atlas, that a machine had been invented for travelling through the air at the rate of a hundred miles an hour, and that a company had been formed for establishing a line be tween London and Calcutta. A notice appeared in the London Gazette of Tuesday, in relation, we suppose, to the invention and the company, which says, that " application is intended to be made to parliament, in the next session, for leave to bring in a bill to authorise the assignment to, and purchase by, a company of certain letters patent, granted to William Samuel Henson, engineer, for certain improvements for locomotive apparatus, and machinery in conveying letters, goods, and passengers through the air, part of which im provements are applicable to locomotive and other machinery to be used on water or on land." ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE.—About seven o'clock on Thursday evening last, a mason, named James Marshall, who resided for some time in Kilwinning, called upon a woman living at Corsehill, of the name of Margaret Gardner, with whom he formerly lodged. After shaking hands, he stated that he had just returned from Ireland, and requested Miss Gardner to speak with him at the back door. As some intimacy had previously existed between them, she at once consented. They had not been together above five minutes, when he gave her a severe stab in the abdomen with a large knife. Her cries immediately brought several persons to her assistance, and, in the mean time, Marshall made his escape. On being removed into the house, a surgeon was speedily sent for, who dressed and sewed up the wound ; and we are glad to say that the young woman is now in a fair way of recovery. About an hour after the perpetration of the inhuman deed, Marshall was taken into custody, and lodged in the lock-up. Next morning it transpired that Marshall had taken poison, and was then lying dang erously ill. Although e ver y p oss ibl e method was resorted to, Marshall died in great agony about twelve o'clock. It is reported that Marshall, prior to his death, avowed that he had come all the way from Ireland to commit the wicked act, and the most generally received opinion is that it arose from jealousy.—Ayr Observer. FEARS OF THE FARMERS.—We have so frequently pointed out the wickedness—the suicidal wickedness—of despair, that it is hardly necessary for us to repeat our argummts here • reason for regret at the stringent measures lately passed affecting agriculture, there is—reason for belief that in the approaching parliamentary session they will be ameli orated, we are confident there is • but reason for the hope lessness of despondency, expressed by Mr. Handley at Oak ham last week, there is none, unless the farmers by yielding to the weakness he preaches, would make it. It has been seen, by figures which are unalterable, that the corn-growers, terrified by the recent legislative alterations, and influenced by the wicked suggestions of a venal press, have hurried their produce into the market : 51,652 quarters of corn were sold in one week this year more than last. Is it for us to repeat that where there is a superabundance of commodity, the value of money is raised ? Let us illustrate our position by a dialogue in which, we fear, too many of our farmers have borne a part :—" Well, neighbour, how's the market ?" Oh, wheat's at 345." " Then I sha'n't sell to day." "Ay, but I read in the and the —, that it will be much lower next week : Sir Robert Peel has quite ruined us." " D'ye think so ? Then I'll sell." Our friend hurries on to the hill—the sample-bag in his hand. " Are you a buyer to-day ?" he asks of a factor. " What's the price ?" " The market is at 548., I believe." " Oh," rejoins the buyer, " there is so much in the market, it as fallen 2s. ; I can only give 525. to-day, and it will be lower still next week." So, to the end of the chapter—the price falling to 465. or lower-- not through foreign competition, but owing to the credulity of the grower himself.—Lincoln paper: HOMICIDE AT NORWICH. — On Friday night week James Rushmere, who for some time has been living upon women of bad character, at Norwich, went to the house of Charlotte Hambling, his last companion. He was in a state of intoxi cation, and the woman refused to let him in. He, however, continued kicking, and as he was disturbing the neighbour hood, she came down and opened the door, when he seized a knife off the table and threatened to kill her. The woman snatched up the carving knife to defend herself, and, in the scuffle which ensued, stabbed him in the abdomen. Mr. Humphrey, a surgeon, (with whom Rushmere's wife is living,) was called in, and found the deceased lying on a sofa, with a large portion of his intestines protruding from a wound on the left side of the abdomen ; and on examining them he found that the knife had penetrated one of the smaller bowels. Dr. Lubbock was then sent for, at his request, and the bowel having been sewn up, the wound in the integuments was enlarged so as to allow of the return of the intestines, after which the patient was removed up stairs ; but though warned that he was in great danger, he refused to believe it, and almost abused the medical gentleman for saying so. Being asked how it happened, he said it was done in a scuffle with " Charley." The woman stated that she had opened the door for him, wheti he knocked her down, took her by the throat, and seized a knife, as she believed, to kill her; upon which she laid hold of the carving knife to defend herself, and stabbed him in the body. She stated that they were both in liquor. She was in her night-dress at the time. She appeared to be very sorry for what she had done. Although the utmost attention was paid to the wretched man, inflam mation came on, and he died about three o'clock on Monday morning. MEETINGS OF CREDITORS FOR LIVERPOOL.

BANK OF ENGLAND. The usual average return of the liabilities ann assets of the Bank of England, embracing the period from the 10th Sep tember to the 3d of December, both inclusive, which ap peared in Friday's Gazette, gives the following results, viz. : That the average of the 13 weeks ending the 3d of Decem ber, as compared with the average of the 13 weeks ending the 10th of September, shows A decrease in the circulation of. £152,000 A decrease in the deposits of 876,000 An increase in the stock of bullion of 807,000 Wherefore it appears that the decrease in the liabilities is £1,028,000, and this represents the decrease in the total quantity of money in the 13 weeks ending the 3d of Decem ber, as compared with the 13 weeks ending the 10th of Sep tember, in so far as regards the administration of the currency by the Bank of England. The yearly comparison is as follows : The average of the 13 weeks ending the 3d of December, 1842, as compared with the average of the 13 weeks ending the 7th of December, 1841, shows An increase in the circulation of.. £5,590,000 An increase in the deposits of 1,588,000 An increase in the stock of bullion of 5,498,000 . Wherefore it appears that the increase in the liabilities is £4,178,000, and this represents the increase in the total quantity of money in the thirteen weeks ending the 3d of December, 1842, ascompared with the thirteen weeks ending the 7th of December, 1841, in so far as regards the ad ministration of the currency by the Bank of Bngland. The variations in the stock of bullion have taken place in the following manner and proportion : In the four weeks ending the 25th of March, 1842, • as compared with the four weeks ending the 28th of December, 18-41, there is an increase of £1,423,000 In the four weeks ending the 18th of June, as compared with the four weeks ending the 22d March, there is an increase of 936,000 In the four weeks ending the 10th of September, as compared with the tour weeks ending the 11th of June, there is an increase of In the four weeks ending the 3d of December, as compared with the four weeks ending the 3d of September, there is an increase of ..... 634,000 The changes and fluctuations in the circulation will app ear from the following statement : In the four weeks ending March 29, 1842,as com pared with the four weeks ending December 28, there is an increase of In the four weeks ending June 18, as compared with the four weeks ending M arc h 22, there is an increase of ........ .... 842,000 In the four weeks ending December 10, as compared with the four weeks ending June 11, there is an increase of In the four weeks ending December 3, as compared with the four weeks ending September 3, there is a decrease of _ _ The following are the changes and fluctuations that have taken place in the deposits : In the four weeks ending March 29,1842. as com pared with the four weeks ending December 28, 1841, there is a decrease of In the four weeks ending June 18, as compared with the four weeks ending 22d of March, there is a decrease of In the four weeks ending 10th of September, as compared with the four weeks epding 11th of June, there is an increase of In the four weeks ending 3d of December, as com pared with the four weeks ending September 3, there is a decrease of 374,000 The changes and fluctuations in the securities will appear from the following statement: — In the four weeks ending March 29,1842, as com- - pared with the four weeks ending December 28, 1841, there is an increase of In the four weeks ending June 18, as compared with the four weeks ending March 22, there is a decrease of .

SHIPWRECK IN THE MEDITERRANEAN, The English brig John and Ann left Newcastle for Toulon on the Ist of August, with a cargo of chains, cables, and coals. Having discharged her cargo, she proceeded to Malta in ballast, seeking for freight, and she left Malta for Alexan dria, also in ballast, on the 27th of October. On the Ist of November, the brig being in about longitude 25 deg. east, she struck upon a rock at eight o'clock p.m., between three and four miles distant from the shore. The weather at the time was not bad, there was a strong breeze blowing, and the vessel was going about eight knots an hour before the wind ; it is supposed it must have been some strong current that drove her out of her course. Ten minutes after the brig struck, the masts went over, and in half an hour she parted right athwart the gangway, the fore part of the vessel remain ing on the rock, and the stern sinking in deep water. The crew at the time of the accident consisted of six seamen and the master, an elderly man between 60 and 65 years of age. They all clung to the fore part of the vessel, and remained there several days without any nourishment whatever, and unable to use the least exertion to save themselves on ac count of a heavy swell that had risen, and a strong wind blowing from the land. On the fourth day five of the crew got together some spars and pieces of the wreck, on which they managed, after great fatigue, to get ashore, but in land ing one of the seamen disappeared, and he is supposed to have been drowned. On the sixth day the two men who had re mained behind followed the example of their companions, and got on shore on some spars. When they were all united they walked a few miles, and were met by a party of Bedouins. who stripped them of their best clothes, and it was only after great entreaties that they obtained from them a handful of barley a-piece, which they ate with the greatest relish. The day after they landed the master died, overcome by exhaustion and fatigue. After walking about 80 miles along the coast, obtaining here and there a small supply of barley, the remaining five men reached an encampment of Bedouins, who received them well, gave them bread and water, and kept them in their tents for two days to rest themselves. Two of the Bedouins then undertook to bring them to Alexandria, and they started on three camels, and arrived there on the morning of the 19th of November, being seven days on the road. The Bedouins treated them all the while very well, and supplied them with as much food as they wanted. The Bedouins who brought the mate and four seamen from the wreck demanded 50 Spanish dollars for their remunera tion, but the British Consul, it appears (and by this supposi tion we take the matter in the most lenient light), did not consider himself authorized to pay them more than £4 ! which the Bedouins indignantly refused. Is not the life of a British subject worth even .£1 ? In order to encourage these people in rescuing shipwrecked mariners and treating them with kindness, Messrs. Briggs and Co., as Lloyd's agents, paid the Bedouins the difference, viz., 30 Spanish dollars, con sidering that their claim was very reasonable; and a subscrip tion, very liberally responded to, is now in circulation a mongs t the English at Alexandria, with the proceeds of which they mean to make the Bedouins a further present, and provide the poor shipwrecked seamen with more suitable clothing and lodgings than the Consulate has furnished them with. SINGULAR AccioENT.—On Sunday week, the guard of the omnibus which was on the point of leaving the Old Legs of Man Inn, at Preston, to fetch the passengers from the railway, cried out the accustomed all's right," supposing the driver was on his seat, when the horses started off, and knocked down and killed one of the hostlers. The boots seeing the accident, ran after and stopped the horses, when it was discovered, (but not till then,) by the guard and passengers, that the horses had been running without a driver. InviNE.—TRADE.—A considerable improvement has taken place here within the last few weeks. Houses in the weaving line have increased the number of their hands, and there is a prospect of still further augmentation. In the sew ing department many of our old respectable firms have com menced to increase their fancy goods, in order to meet the spring trade; and, from the favourable symptoms already evinced, we may expect such a revival as will keep our femala population fully employed during the whole winter.—Ayr paper. PERILOUS FEAT.—On Wednesday morning a crowd of persons were assembled in the neighbourhood of the Monu ment, their attention being drawn to a man standing on the summit above the gilt part, which is intended to represent flames. It appeared that some portion of the iron work at the ball at the top required repair. and some workmen were sent up to do it, when one, more venterous than the rest, got through the trap door, and, after shutting down the opening, stood upright at the top, to the astonishment of the spectators. He remained there for some minutes, and then descended in safety. MELANCHOLY EVENT. —Upon Thursday, the 24th ult., towards evening, a poor girl applied for, and obtained a lodging for the night at the house of a respectable family in the parish of Tullynessle and Forbes. She appeared to be labouring under a great difficulty of breathing; and it was observed that during her stay she partook but sparingly of the food which was given her. Next day, she called at a cot tage about 150 yards distant, and very shortly afterwards the sole occupant found her dead, in a half-reclining posture, within the " mouth of the peat-stack." She made no appli cation here for lodging, but asked for a little hot water to relieve her breathing, which was given her. Although de cidedly unwell, there was nothing in her appearance, or in what she said regarding her illness, to indicate that her death was so very near. Her clothes, and a single half-penny, constituted the amount of her earthly possessions.—Aber deen Journal. A SUICIDAL BRIDE.—On Saturday night week, a girl named Georgiana Mary Hope, belonging to Roxburghshire, and who has for some time been in the farm service, came to town to stop a day or two with a friend. On Sunday. after being three or four times at the Latterday Saints' place of meeting, she went home and complained of a pain in her stomach. Retiring to her room, she drank the contents of a phial of laudanum, which she had purchased the night be fore, and which was conspicuously labelled "poison." At 7 o'clock next morning she expired. It appears that she was betrothed to a young man named Cochran, a fellow-servant, and that they were proclaimed, for the first time, in Houston Church on Sabbath. The arrangement between the decea sed and her bridegroom was, that she should come to Paisley on Monday morning, and that they should set out together on an introductory visit to her friends in Roxburgshire. The bridegroom did come to Paisley on Monday, but instead of finding his betrothed ready to join him in the arranged ex cursion, he found that the ceremony had just been completed of wrapping her in her shroud—a shroud, moreover, which she herself had brought to town—and instead of accompany ing her to the residence of her friends, he had the melancholy duty next day to perform of laying her head in the grave. Rumour assigns the cause of the fatal act to be that the young woman had not truly represented herself and her cir cumstances to her intended husband, and that the fearful step was taken to avoid the detection, exposure, and disap pointment, which a visit to the south would have occasioned.

MIDDLEWICH CORN MARKET, DEC. 6. s. d. s. d Wheat, old, r4p , 751 b. new Oats, old, v solb new 8 0 - 9 3 2 9a-, 3 0 Pease Beans, .1) 601 b, 50 - - MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 10. • There has been little variation in the aspect of the trade since our last report. Moderate supplies from all quarters have been met by an equally moderate demand, at prices varying little from the quotations of our last. The same observation applies to Li verpool and Wakefield yesterday. At our Corn Exchange to-day the trade is slow, and there is no disposition to purchase any thing beyond the wants of present con sumption. New Irish and English Wheats fully support their pre vious value, but of all other articles it may be remarked generally, that though they are not perhaps quotably lower, the turn of prices is certainly in favour of the buyer. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, DEC. 9. We have to report a small arrival of all grain for this day's market. Fine new Wheat is scarce and held for is per quarter advance, which was only partially obtained ; other sorts same as last week, the condition generally bad. No alteration in the value of old. Barley not quite so well sold, and our quotations barely supported. Beans dull and is per quarter cheaper. Oats and Shelling in moderate demand and the turn lower. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, Dec. 12 The country markets have been abundantly supplied with fresh Butter up to the latest period, so open has been the season, and the prices have been very moderate, —ranging from 9d to lld lb. This circumstance has had a marked effect upon our Irish Butter market, and holders have become very anxious to lessen their stocks, particularly of the middling qualities, which were nearly unsaleable at a further decline of Is to 3s per cwt. The finer kinds of Belfast, Carlow, &c. continue to support our recent quotations, and the quantity of such at hand is not large. Pickled Butter 71s to 73s for seconds, and the demand limited. Irish Beef and Pork in fair demand, but at a lower figure ; respectable brands of the former offered at 90s per tierce,—of the latter 50s per barrel. There is a great deal of Foreign rubbish in the town which would be dear at any price. Good American and Colonial Pork is worth 35s per barrel. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 9: The demand for Cotton to-day amounts to about 3,000 bales, at yesterday's prices. The sales of the week are 23,150 bales, of which 6,500 are placed to speculation account, and 600 for export,:leaving only a small supply for the trade. COTTON MARKET, DECEMBER 12 The Cotton market has continued very tame and quiet since our last account; the daily demand averaging only 3000 or 3500 bales, barely supporting last week's prices in any description. New Cotton fully id below the highest point. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT. The market opened on Saturday with an animated demand, both from the trade and speculators, when full prices were paid; during the present week, however, the speculative inquiry has materially diminished, and the trade has also purchased less freely. The import of American of the new crop is considerable, and, being plentifully !offered, has produced a decline of Id to id 1 4 lb upon the better qualities, whilst in other descriptions no material change can be noticed, although the present quotations are with difficulty maintained. Speculators have taken 5000 American and 1500 Surat, and Exporters 200 American and JO9 Surat. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 2nd to the Bth instant, inclusive.

The duties on all foreign and colonial imports remain un changed for the ensuing week. Our supplies received since Tuesday consist principally of Oatmeal from Ireland, having otherwise still to report very scanty arrivals from that country, and scarcely anything coastwise; several parcels of Wheat and Flour, however, have come in from Canada, but only a few hundred barrels of the latter article from the United States, and no grain whatever from the continent of Europe. In the interval since Tuesday last, very little general busi ness was done in the trade, the millers continuing to purchase with caution ; and though some inquiries existed for Wheat on a rather more extended scale, with a view to hold over, the offers made were too low to induce holders to sell, and consequently, no transactions appeared to result. With the exception of about 1,500 to 2,000 qrs. of foreign free Wheat, disposed of chiefly to one or two millers from the interior, at nearly Tuesday's prices, the operations in any description of this grain at our Corn Exchange to-day, have been extremely limited in amount ; English Wheat likewise, though confined to the supply from the neigh bouring growers, was exceedingly difficult to sell ; whilst Irish, of which very little remains over, was held at a slight amendment. _ _ English, Irish, and Foreign duty-paid Flour continued in very slow request, on the terms last noted. About 1,500 qrs. of Copenhagen Barley have been sold at the low rate of 3s. per 60 lbs., less the duty, but in malting samples no transactions have been reported to-day. Malt, Beans, and Pease, without apparent demand, were the turn cheaper. Although the fresh supply of Oats is small, and fine qualities scarce, a few good mealing parcels brought only 2s. 4d. per 451b5., other , kinds at the same time meeting very little notice; and all descriptions were rather depressed in value.
