Vottrp. RECOLLECTIONS. BY THE LATE S. LOUISA P. SMITH. I've pleasant thoughts that memory brings, in moments free from care, Of a fairy-like and laughing girl, with roses i n her hair ; Her smile was like the star-light of summers softest skies, And worlds of joyousness there shone, from out her witch ing eyes. - - Her looks were looks of melody, her voice was like the swell Of sudden music, notes of mirth, that of wild gladness tell; She came like spring, with pleasant sounds of sweetness and _ of mirth, And her thoughts were those wild, flowery ones, that linger not on earth. A quiet goodness beam'd amid the beauty of her face, And all she said and did was with its own instinctive grace ; She seem'd as if she thought the world a good and pleasant. one, And her light spirit saw no ill in all beneath the sun. I've dreamed of just such creatures, but they never met my' view, 'Mid the sober, dull reality, in their earthly form and hue, And her smile came gently over me, like spring's first scented airs, And made me think life was not all a wilderness of cares. I know not of her destiny, or where her smile now strays, But the thought of her comes o'er me, with my own lost sunny days, With moonlight hours, and frir-off friends, and many plea sant things, That have gone the way of all the earth on time's resistless wings. LITERARY NOTICES. The Commissioner, Nos. 9 and 10. Walmsley. Whoever the author of this work may be be is a queer fish, and possesses queer thoughts and fancies. The present numbers are decided improvements upon the last. It ap pears to us that the tale is approaching a termination. It is certainly the most original of the day. Portions of it are amusing, though the general plot and incidents are un likely—amidst a great deal of nonsense there constantly breaks out very apposite and trite remarks. The illustra tions are all admirable. Our Mess. By Harry Lorrequer. Walmsley, Liverpool. Jack Hinton, in this number, we find idling away his time with the Bellews, falling deeper and deeper in love with the " one fair daughter," and rescuing her from a watery grave. A reucontre with Ulick Burke is well described. The fol lowing terrific Teeital by " Tipperary Joe" takes place while he and the dragoon are journeying together, the latter on his refit rn. tirhexcl-quarters M," cried he aloud, as his eye glistened with an unna turarlustre, " better be poor Tipperary Joe, without house or home, father or mother, sister or friend, and when the time comes, run to earth, without a wet eye after him." " Come, come, Joe, you have many a friend ; and when yon count them over, don't forget the in the reckoning." " Whist, whist," he whispered in a low voice, as if fearful of being overheard, " don't say that — them ' s dangerous words.' I turned towards him with astonishment, and perceived that his whole countenance had undergone a striking change. The gay and laughing look was gone • the bright colour had left his cheek ; and a cold, ghastly paleness was spread over his features, and as be cast a hurried and stealthy look around him, I could mark that some secret fear was working within him. " What is it, Joe, said I ; " what's the matter ? Are you ill ? " No," said he, in a tone scarcely audible, " no • but you frightened me just now, when you called me your friend." ' How could that frighten you, my poor fellow ?" " I'll tell you—that's what they called my father—they said he was friendly with the gentlemen, and signs on it—" he paused, and his eye became rooted to the ground, as if on some object there from which he could not turn his gaze : " yes, I mind it well—we were sitting by the fire in the guard room all alone by ourselves—the troops was away, I don't know where—when we heard the tramp of men marching, but not regular, but coming as if they didn't care how, and horses and carts rattling and rumbling among them. " Thim's the boys,' says my father. ' Give me that ould cockade there till I stick it in my cap, and reach me over the fiddle till I rise a tune for them.' " I mind little more till he was marching at the head of them through the town, down towards the new college that was building—it's Maynooth I'm speaking about—and then we turned to the left, my father scraping away all the time every tune he thought they'd like ; and if now and then by mistake he played any thing that did not plaze them, they'd damn and blast him with the dreadfullest curses, and stick a pike into him, till the blood would come running down his back ; and then my father would cry outL " I'll tell my friends on you for this—divil a lie in it, but I will.' " At last we came to the duke's wall, and then my father sat down on the road sat, and cried out that he wouldn't go a step farther, for I was crying away with sore feet at the pace we were going, and asking every minute to be let sit down to rest myself. " ' Look at the child,' says he, his feet's all'bleeding.' " ' Ye have only a little further to go,' says one of them that had cross belts on, and a green sash about him, " The devil resave another step,' says my father. " Tell Billy to play us "The Farmer's Daughter" before he goes,' says one of the crowd. " I'd rather hear " The Bowld Fox," says another. " ' No, no, " Baltiorum ! Baltiorurn ! " ' say many more behind. " Ye shall have them all,' say my father, and that 'ill plaze ye.' " And so he set to, and played the three tunes as beautiful as ever yeheard; and when he was done, the man with the belts ups and says to him— "" ( Ye're a fine hand, Billy, and it's a pity to lose you, and you friends will be sorry for you'—and he said this with a grin—' but take the spade there and dig a hole, for we must be jogging, it's nigh day.' " Well. my father, though he was tired enough, took the spade and began digging as they told him, for he thought to himself, the boys is going to hide the pike and the carbines before they go home. Well, when we worked half an hour, h444litevroff his coat and set to again ; and at last he got tired and sat down on the side of the big hole, and called— tt,f'lsn't It big enough now, boys?' iffilt-NO,' says the captain, ' nor half. Z." !ROMS) father set to once more, and worked away with all his might, and they all stood by, talking and laughing with one another. " , ‘Will="it do now?' says my father ; for sure enough I'm clean beat. " Maybe it might,' says one of them : lie down and see if it's ' Well . , is it that it's for ?' " says may father : faix, I neVer guessed it was a grave ; ' and so he took off his cap and lay down his full length in the hole. " That's all right,' says the others, and began with spade and shovel to cover him up. At first he laughed away as hearty as the rest ; but when the mould grew heavy on him he began to screech out to let him up, and then his voice grew weaker and fainter, and they waited a little, then worked harder, and then came a groan, and all was still; and they patted the sods over him and heaped them up ; and then they, took me and put me in the middle of them, and one called out, ' March!' I thought I saw the green sod moving on the top of the grave as we walked away, and heard a voice half-ehoking calling out, There, boys, there !' and then a laugh. But sure I often heard the same still, when there's nobody near me, and I do be looking on the ground by Myself." 1 great God . !" cried I, "Is this true ?" 'True as you're there,', replied he. " I was ten years of age_ when it happened, and I never knew how time went since, nor how long it is ago, it was in the year of the great troubles here ; and the soldiers and the country people never could be cruel enough to one another : and whatever one did to-day, the others would try to beat it out to-morrow. But it's truth every word of it ; and the place is called Billy the fool'* grsve7,to this hour. I go there once a year to se e it myself." This frightful story—told, too, with all the simple power of truth—thrilled through me with horror, long after the impression seemed to have faded away from him who told it; and though, he still continued to speak on, I heard nothing'; nor did I mark our progress until I found myself beside the little stream which conducted to the mill. .4,1 Elementary Introduction to the Nautical Almanac, and Astronomical Ephemeris, ire. By G. P. Payne, Optician, Liverpool. Charles Wilson, London ; Melling and Payne, Liverpool. This is a truly valuable work, not solely as "An Introduc tion to the Nautical Almanac," but as containing clear and f "Riliaversplanations of the whole of the technical terms and phenomena appertaining to tbe sublime science of astronomy; the whole illustrated by numerous diagrams, and rendered of easy comprehension by students even of moderate capacity. Informs, in fact, as stated in a secondary portion of the title P a ge , "An Epitome of Astronomy." and will be found as us efal and acceptable to the general student of that science on shore, as to those who seek only to determine by planetary observ ation, the true position of a ship at sea, a pursuit which is, we fear, too generally neglected by nautical men, from the want of such an "instroduction" to smooth the diffi culties encountered in the onset, and who arc thus thrown too exclusively upon a reliance on their chronometers. The author, in a very brief a ad'unassuming preface, remarks : " Writers on elementary astronomy generally either reserve the itl,forlll.olgn Most eagerly sought by the curious, or detail it Onlbe supposition that the reader is a mathematician. Unelatibtecily no great progress can be made in astronomy without the aid of the ma thematic s , but there may be a medium b e tween a perfect acqu a i ntance with these abstruse snake astronomical data studies and a sufficient knowledge t familiarised and in pursuance n.. The author, easy of mil enableaud introduced as of ,hi 4 An has ., l : rell l: 7:lieves, ie : n a y student to cexplanations as may many icient4- and complicated theor comprehend'tlie f , acts the Celes tial ei la a In this object, we think, those who have ? PII C 4 C ) P en-:. (like ourselves) of the s c i ence, but a moderate knowledge wilt readily adroit that he has fully succeeded. and at the same time so corapPre: nations are indeed s 9 clear, s bensive, that a comparatively s li g ht study of the work w ill convey an entirely satisfactory know ledge of points whi c h the perusal of most elementary treatises on the same subjects, left in cloudiness and doubt. The writer must haveemployed unwearied research of the voluminous works of celebrated men, and he has shown great judgment in the appropriation and condensation of such facts only as were necessary for the attainment of the object in view, without weary in g the patience or perplexing the understanding by disquisitions unnecessarily abstruse. H e h as thus done an important service to students of astronomy in general, and to the nautical world in parti cular ; and his book should be in the hands of all seamen, young and old, who are honourably ambitious of perfecting themselves in the higher branches of navigation, by which the great desideratum of the longitude at sea can be accu rately determined. The work is arranged alphabetically, and is thus readily accessible for reference. The explana tions .under the following heads, appear to us to be pe culiarly lucid : — A.bberation, Central Forces, Comets, De pression, or Dip Ecliptic, (with two lessons and a map), Conic Sections, I V IOO II, Natation, Mensuration, (including the motion of p...h t ) Refraction ; the whole of the articles under the general head of " The Solar Sys tem," "The Seasons," and those headed "Tides," "Time," and, " Winds," all of which are exceedingly lucid, and, we may add, interesting. The Diagrams are well executed, and by help of these and the explanations accompanying them, we have, ourselves, readily arrived at a distinct perception of many problems which, we confess, we were unable fully to solve. We are glad to find, by a contemporary paper, that our talented townsman, Mr. Andrew Livingston, teacher of navigation and nautical'astronomy, awards his high and va luable testimony in behalf of our author's production , of which he states amongst other commendations :—" I have never seen any work on the subjects treated of, so well adapted for the use of a student, and yet of such decided advantage even to those well versed in the science of astronomy." But we must select one or two paragraphs almost at random, as specimens of, the clearness of the style of a volume the mo derate price of which is by no means adequate to its intrinsic MISCELLANEOUS. It is said that the Marquis of Westminster gives to each of his granddaughters lately married one hundred thousand pounds. The exportation of cattle from Belgium to England has commenced. The Belgian sloop Union has just sailed from Ostend with forty-six oxen on board. Water has become so scarce at Derry, that it is sold at the rate of 2d. per can. This circumstance is owing to the long continued drought. THE QUEEN'S TM/R.—Her Majesty, it is said, has ex pressed a wish to visit all the scenes of Sir Walter Scott's novels, The law appointments have been definitely settled, and Mr. Jackson may now be considered a Judge in the Court of Common Pleas, being succeeded in his late office by Mr. T. B. C. Smith, who is now the solicitor-General. — Dublin Evening Mail. At no period were so many deaths known to have occurred by the practice of bathing in the Thames between Southwark and Blackfriars bridges, as within the last fortnight, during which period no fewer than nine lives have been lost and only time of the bodies found. By the Brisk we learn that the Madagascar and Water witch had recently attacked and destroyed a settlement, or what is called a baracoon, at a place near Cabenda, and libe rated 900 slaves.—Anti. Slavery Reporter. BEYROUT, July 24.—1 regret to say that Bishop Alexander is very ill and confined to bed from fever, having already been several times slightly indisposed. The climate of Jerusalem does not appear to agree with his constitution.— Times. There died lately, says a German paper, in the village of Felsoe Foerock, in Transylvania, a farmer named Terebesi, in the 135th year of his age. He always enjoyed good health, and worked in the field until just before his death. Mr. Campbell, of Islay, in the presence of the Duke and Duchess of Argyll and the Marquis of Lorn, from his pool in the Langan, caught in one draught 557 fish. Mr. Camp bell then proposed to the duke to apply the net to that part of the pool from which 1,021 had been taken a few weeks ago, but his grace remarked that enough had been killed for one day. DEAR BREAD.—Several of the metropolitan journals are agitating the question of the dearness of bread, and making enquiry whether the bakers and millers are justified in ob taining such great profits. The following calculation appears on the subject in the Morning Herald, from one of the cor respondents of that paper :—" 1 have understood that a quarter of wheat, of middling quality, will yield in flour about 392 pounds of flour, and that 392 pounds of flour will make about 130 four-pound loaves. If so, and the price of a quarter of wheat is 545., that is equivalent to sd. the loaf, as 130 loaves at sd. each amount to 545. 2d. Why, then, is the consumer charged Sid. or 9d. for his loaf? Is the expense of grindine the corn and making the bread equal to na. or 4d. the loaf, in addition to the profit of the bran and pollard ? DEATH OF MR. LONGMAN, OF PATERNOSTER-ROW.— It is with much grief that we have to announce the decease, at an early hour this morning, at his residence at Hampstead, of Thomas Ncrton Longman, Esq., the eminent bibliopolist, of Paternoster-row. This melancholy event arose from his horse having fallen with him on Wednesday last, by which accident the unfortunate gentleman was precipitated to the ground with much severity, as to occasion considerable in jury to the spine, from which he never recovered. Mr. Long man was as much distinguished by his amiable and unas suming qualities in private life, as by the extent and integrity of his commercial dealings. He was in, bis' 72d year.— Standard. THE ROYAL MAIL COMPANY'S STEAMER TAY.—We take blame to ourselves for not having earlier mentioned the regu larity of departure and arrival of this vessel on its late service ; especially so, as the line of steamers had hitherto been sub- . . jected (and justly so) to a great deal of censure upon this point. It now clearly appears from this latter circumstance, that the arrangements contem plated are becoming so complete, as almost to ensure a certainty to passengers, that no morti fication or inconvenience will hereafter arise, excpt such as may happen through those causes over which the parties can have controul. The Tay completed her recent trip, within a fraction, we may say, of the time in which it was calculated she would perform it. This looks well.—Guiana Times. NELSON'S MONUMENT, TRAFALGAR-SQUARE.—It will be recollected that, some weeks ago, .a large block of stone, from Scotland, presented by his Grace the Duke of Buc clench to the committee for erecting Nelson's monument, was deposited in the space of ground appropriated for its re ception at Trafalgar-square. Since then a large and well lighted wooden shed has been built over the same, to protect the sculptor from the inclemency of the weather during the continuance of the task he has undertaken to perform, which he commenced a few days ago. The entire figure of Nelson will be formed or chiselled out of this immense mass of stone, with the exception of the head and shoulders, for which another block will be re quired. Some idea may be formed of its magnitude when it is known that it weighs 32 tons, is 12 feet high, 7 feet wide, and 6 feet thick. The pedestal and column are proceeding with great rapidity, and, notwithstanding the delay oc casioned by the strike of the masons a few months ago, it is believed that the column will be ready for the reception of ' the statue very little over the time originally contemplated. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.—After all, there is likely to be a contest, and judging from the equip premises of the two candidates, it will no doubt be a severe one. A requisition ' from several of the heads of the college was this afternoon in course of signature, addressed to Mr. T. B. Smith, who is understood to have received the appointment of Solicitor- General, soliciting that gentleman to stand for the vacancy in the representation created by the elevation of Mr. Devon sher Jackson to the judicial bench, and it is reported that should Mr. Smith accede to the terms of the requisitionists, he will have the weight of government support in his favour. Mr. Hamilton, notwithstanding these adverse circumstances, is determined not to withdraw his claims on the electors, a vast number of whom have already decided on supporting him, in preference to any other candidate whatsoever. The contest, should it be persevered in, will place both parties in a very embarrassing position. Mr. Hamilton started with the full knowledge and sanction of the Irish government, and his withdrawal at the present juncture, when it is, of neces sity, found that one of the law officers of the crown should have a seat in parliament, would lead to the suspicion that henceforward the representation of College was to be but the stepping-stone to place, and that the University, com prising the most enlightened constituency in the kingdom, should be content to rank with Clonmel, Cashel, or any other whig nomination borough. As to the respective merits of the two candidates, it is impossible to decide ; in truth, there is no difference between them ; both would reflect honour on the choice of any body of electors here or elsewhere ; and this it is that renders the position of all parties embarrassing in the extreme.—London Times.—[The Dublin Evening Mail mentions something similar to this, but says there is no foundation for such statements.] OPENING OF THE SOUTAAMPTON DOCKS.—SOUTHAMP TON, AUGUST 29.—The tidal-dock of this great national commercial undertaking was opened this afternoon. Although no official notice of the event had been given by the direc tors, long before the hour reported, when the first vessel was to enter the magnificent dock, thousands of persons had congregated around the walls to witness the ceremony, if ceremony it may be called. The directors of the company arrived from London during the morning ; and it was ar ranged that the Tagus, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company, should be made use of to open the docks pro forma". She was accordingly decked out in her various colours, and proceeded from the quay to the con. • fluence of the river Itchen, for that purpose ; when the Little Liverpool, also belonging to the same company, was disco vered steaming up the river from Gibraltar. This apropos circumstance induced the directors to lay to for a quarter of an hour, to give the Liverpool time to reach her, and enter first, with her passengers and cargo of goods. In the course of a few minutes she passed the entrance to the dock into its basin, amidst the cheers of the assembled multitude, the firing of cannon, &c. ; and shortly afterwards a part of her cargo was landed, and sent off per rail to town, where it ar rived in due course this evening, thus giving a remarkable instance of despatch ; and showing at the same time the im mense advantage Southampton has over any other port in the kingdom for the landing and transmission of foreign goods to the metropolis. To those of our readers who are unacquainted with this stupendous undertaking, it may be as well to remark en passant, that the tidal-dock is the largest in England, the inside, from wall to wall, covering an area of 16 acres. It is excavated to that extent, that there will be always 18 feet water at low water spring tides. The open ing is 150 feet in width, thus admitting vessels of almost any tonnage. A. shed is now building on the north-east side, 360 feet in length, and 50 feet wide in the floors, for the storeage of goods, from which a tram-way leads to the rail way station, distant about 300 yards. This dock was com menced three years ago (in October next), at a cost of about £140,000, and, had it not been for unforeseen causes, would have been opened for traffic some time since. The vessels belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental and the Royal West India Mail Company will henceforth make use of it ; and no doubt every vessel of consequence will take advan tage of the facilities thus offered for landing and shipping goods. The latter company have contracted for a use of a portion of the dock for the sum of X2OOO per annum. There is another dock, now in progress, called the inner or wet dock. It is impossible to state when this will be finished. Want of funds prevents that accomplishment for the present. This dock covers an extent of 14 acres, and is the nearest to the town. AFFECTING CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Wednesday, the 10th current, a stout good-looking man, five feet eight or nine inches high, apparently of the age of 24 years, fair hair, and yellowish bushy whiskers, landed from the Liverpool steamer, at Annan Waterfoot. He inquired for a quiet lodging, as he proposed resting for a few days, and was conducted to the house of Widow Beatie, residing in Port-street. During the night be was sick and restless, and in the morning swallowed a cup of tea, without tasting bread. He then went out with the expressed intention of calling at a barber's shop, and returning immediately. But, from whatever cause, he has never since been heard of. He was dressed in moleskin trousers and waistcoat, wove sleeves, a white shirt, a cap stemmed and furred,,Wellington boots. The box he left at the lodging was 'addressed " James Smith," and the way farer talked as if he belonged to Ayrshire. After some delay the box was opened by the Procurator, Fiscal to the burgh, in the presence of Bailie Sawyer, and an invetory taken of its contents, consisting of a quantity of joiner's tools, and body clothes. On the latter there are no marks, and on the former simply the maker's name, " Henderson, Greenock." From a memorandum found, it appears that poor Smith had sailed from Greenock for America, on the 14th of May last ; and as the box in question is an old commercial packing one, and its tradesman contents incomplete, it seems probable that he had sold his tool chest, to raise money sufficient to carry him back to this country. In the course of conversation, he told Mrs. Beatie that although he had been in various parts of the United States, he could find no employment, and that he would never, lie rather thought, travel more unless he had the misfortune to be banished. There is something strange and suspicious in the disappearance of this wanderer ; for had not somethin g ser i ous or f ata l occurre d , i t seems most cer t a i n he would eith er have returned to his lodging, or sent for his property. —D um f r i es Herald.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, —This DAY (From Messrs. R. MAICIN Gr SONS' Circular.) The duty on Foreign Wheat is again advanced this week, being now 12s. per quarter, with a certainty of an increase in the rate until it reaches close upon the highest point; that on Rye is raised to Bs. 6d., on Pease to 9s. 6d. per quarter, and on Flour to 7s. M. per barrel : the Colonial Wheat duty also will shortly be higher. We have a fair fresh supply of Wheat from European ports, with a few thousand barrels of States and Canadian Flour, which'forming the bulk of the arrivals into this port within the past three days, the general imports are rather moderate; the market at the same time being less pressed with samples from granary, and the improved tone lately manifeSted here being confirmed by a corresponding feeling in 'London and several leading markets of the country, the trade has assumed more buoyancy between Tuesday last and to-day ; the disposition to purchase Wheats on speculation has continued, and at the rates of our last Circular, some large sales have been effected, but many holders looking for an advance has served to check much general business. At this morning's market both town and country millers freely paid the full rates of Tuesday, for the general qualities of Wheat, and inclusive of one or two parcels taken for holding over, a fair amount of business has been done. A good demand was also experienced for Flour, fresh descrip tions of which are becoming comparatively scarce, and for such 6d. per barrel advance has been obtained to-day. In Barley, Beans, and Pease, we have no alteration to note, there being scarcely any enquiry for any of these arti cles to-day. Old Meaiing Oats were in better request, but no improve ment on late prices could be effected : rather extensive pur chases of old Oatmeal, the stock of which is much reduced, were made on country. orders, and an amendment of Is. per sack was realised : the supply of new coming forward in very limited quantity ; a small lot of the latter brought 28s. Gd. per 240 lbs. Much rain has fallen on Wednesday night and yesterday, which appears to have been general through this district ; but the interruption to harvest work, in the small compass where it is incomplete, is only temporary, to-day being again very fine, with brisk drying winds.

(8 minute's 13 seconds or time) in passing from the sun to the earth, and' during this time the earth has moved 20s. (20 seconds of a degree, the entire orbit of the earth round the sun being recleaned as a circle of 360 degrees). At any in stant, therefore, the rays of light which reach the earth are these which left the sun Bm. 13s. previous, when the earth was in a different position with the sun to that which it oc cupies at the time of observation. This' phenomenon is called aberration, and the luminous circle which may be seen around the real disc (face) of the sun (caused by the aberra tion of the solar rays) is called the crown of aberration. And as the akerration of the sun is owing to the motion of the earth in its orbit, so the aberration of a planet is due to the combined motions of that planet and the earth in their respective orbiti. It is therefore said that the aberration of a planet is equal to the geocentric (see Geocentric) motion of the planet, or the space it appears to move over as seen from the earth, during the time the light occupies in passing from the planet to the earth. For the method of estimating the amonnt of aberration see mensuration. ClRCLES.—Astronomers imagine many great circles in the heavens, but three principal ones, from whiCh they form the bases of all observations of the heavenly bodies. Every circle is called Great, the plane of which passes through the centre of the earth. The plane of a circle is an imaginary num b er o f rad ii filling up the circle : thus the spokes of a wheel are the radii of the circle of the wheel, and the radii with the axle compose the plane—the parchment of a drum is the plane of the circle on which the parchment is stretched. The first of the three great circles is the Rational Horizon. That circle made round our field of view at sea, by the water apparently touching the heavens, is called the apparent or visible horizon ; a circle drawn horizontally, or perfectly level, from the eye of an observer is the sensible horizon, and a circle whose plane passes through the centre of the earth is the rational horizon. The second great circle is the Equinoctial, or Celestial Equator, a circle of the heavens the plane of which is in continuation with the plane of the equator of the earth. The sun is on the equinoctial about the 21st of March and 21st of September, when equal days and nights are over the earth. The equinoctial is traced by observing certain remarkable stars, to which the moon in her course seems to approach, and also by obgerving the position of the planets. The third great circle is the Ecliptic, or ap parent annual path of the sun, which also is traced by ob serving certain remarkable stars, the distance of which from the ecliptic have been accurately ascertained. TIDES. — The rotation of the earth on its axis, combined with the attraction of the sun and moon exerted on the fluid portion of the globe, occasions the phenomena of the tides. If the earth were at rest between the sun and moon, the waters immediately under the two luminaries would be raised by their attraction and remain permanently elevated ; but as the relative positions of all three bodies are continually un dergoing a change, so the attraction on the waters is conti nually shifting in position ; the attraction of the sun and moon being exerted in the same direction when the moon is new and full (or in conjunction with and opposition to the sun), forming the high or spring tides, and the attraction being divided in amount between that due to the sun and that due to the moon when the moon is in her first and third quarters ; the tides being then neap or low. The elevation of the tide due to the sun is two feet and to the moon five feet; when, therefore, both the attractions are exerted to gether, the tidal wave near the equinoctial line, where the attraction is greatest, is seven feet high, and when the sun and moon are in quadrature (one-fourth of a great celestial circle apart), the height is about three feet, being the eleva tion due to the moon lessened by the attraction of the waters, in an angular direction, due to the sun. This article concludes with explanations of the great tidal waves, the theory of which is plainly shown. The "winds" are also explained in a similarly clear manner, and the utility of the barometer, particularly at sea, as affording indication of coming storms, is strongly urged; but we have not room for further extracts, nor can we quote from those articles which require diagrams for elucidation ; and we therefore refer our astronomical readers to the work itself. PRESTON GUILD. Now that the tranquillity of the town and of the surround ing districts is perfectly restored, with every probability of its continuance, a great deal of interest is taken throughout the county at the approaChing Guild Merchant Festival, the celebration of which only occurs once in 20 years. The guild of Preston is unique, there being no resemblance to a similar institution in any other part of the kingdom, whilst the me morials remaining in the archives of the corporation trace its first celebration to 1329, in the second year of the reign of Edward 111.. since which period it has been held every 20 years with scarcely any intermission. The " Guild Mer chant" is held on the Monday after the feast of the Decol lation of St. John the Baptist, and is always duly announced by advertisement in the London Gazette. The celebration has, at former periods, attracted a very large attendance of the surrounding nobility and gentry, and on the last occasion, in 1822, was attended by the late Earl and Countess of Der by, the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, Lord and Lady Skelmersdale, Mr. Justice Park, and many other distinguished visitors. Political excitement and agitation now being over, the present meeting is likely to be no less interesting and attractive, and amongst others who have put down their names as patrons, and many of whom have taken houses for the occasion, *re the High Sheriff. the Duke of Hamilton the Earls of Balcarras and Sefton, Lord. Francis Egerton, M.P., Lord Stanley, M.P., Viscount Lindsay, Lord Skel mersdale, Lord Sandon, M.P., Sir P, H. Fleetwood, Bart., M.P., Sir Howard Douglas, M.P., the Hon. R. B, Wilbra ham, M.P., Sir George Strickland, M.P. Sir Benjamin Heywood, Bart., Sir John Gerrard, Bart., Sir T. B. Birch, Bart., Sir Thomas de Trafford, Bart., Sir R. H. Leigh, Bart., Lieut-General Sir Thomas Whitehead, Sir George Drink water, Sir Thomas Brancker, P. Ainsworth, Esq., M.P. J. I. Blackburne, Esq., M.P., W. Fielden, Esq., M.P., J.W. Patten, Esq., M.P., C. Standish, Esq., M.P., G. Marton, Esq., M.P., and most of the leading gentry in the County, many of whom have expressed their intention of keeping open house on the occasion. In the list of patron's stands the name of Sir Robert Peel, whose presence, which was expected, will only be prevented by the pressure of 'official business. Everything has been done by the corporation, in whose hands the management of the affairs of the guild is vested, to keep up the interest which for many centuries it has excited in this and the neighbouring counties. On Monday morning the business of the Guild Court will be transacted, the old and venerable guild books will be opened, and the legal business will be transacted. For the evening a grand display of fireworks is announced. On the Tuesday there will be a grand procession of the guild, the mayor., .corporation, guild officers, and companies of trades and societies, to the parish church, where a sermon will be preached by the vicar, who is also chaplain to the guild, and church service will be performed by several efficient vocalists. These bodies, which will be arranged by the marshalmen, are very numerous, consisting of Ist, tanners, skinners, cur riers, and glovers ; 2d, cotton-spinners and weavers; 3d, cord wainers ; 4th carpenters ; sth, butchers ; 6th, vintners ; 7th, tailors; Bth, plasterers • 9th, Smiths ; 10th, gardeners; 11th, lodge of odd fellows ; 12th, printers and bookbinders ; 13th, lodge of freemasons. In the evening of this day there will be a grand concert of vocal and instrumental music. On the same day there will be a bazaar at St. Ignatius' Schools, in the North-road, for the benefit of the Roman Catholic Col lege, near Leicester, at which the Earl of Shrewsbury with his family, Lord Clifford, and several of the leading Roman Catholic families in this county, have signified their intention to be present. On Wednesday morning the mayoress's pro. cession, with ladies, to the parish church will take place, when there will be performed Handel's sacred oratorio of Messiah. The leading singers engaged for the occasion are Miss Birch, Miss Stott, and Miss Maria Hawes, Mr. Hobbs. and Mr. Phillips, in addition to which, the orchestra, selected principally from Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester, will consist of 42 performers, and the chorus of 66 voices. This has always been an occasion of particular interest, and at the last meeting the mayoress was followed by the Countess of Derby, Countess of Wilton, Lady Hoghton, Miss Hoghton, the Misses Stanley, daughters of Lord Stanley, and a retinue of at least six hundred ladies of the first distinction. On this evening there will be a grand dress ball. On Thursday morning the mayoress will give a grand public breakfast, after which both races and regatta are announced. A grand performance of sacred music will likewise take place at the Catholic chapel of St. Wilfred, comprising a selection from the Stabat Mater of Rossini, in which Signor Rubini, as well as Negri and Puzzi, and Mdlle. Pacini and Mdlle. Osterguard will take a part. In the even ing there will be a grand concert at which the above will attend. Friday morning will commence with races, after which the scholars of the various public, national, and Sun day schools wil be regaled with entertainments; and in the evening there will be a grand costume ball, to provide for which several of the caterers for such amusements from London are present. The whole of the proceeds of the musical entertainments and the balls will after defraying the expenses, be applied for the benefit of the public charities of the town. A very large influx of strangers is anticipated during the ensuing week, and demands for accommodation have increased accordingly. Next to the visit of her Majesty to Scotland, this will prove the most exciting occasion to the haat monde in this part of the country in the ensuing week. A grand fete will, it is understood, be given at Ravens worth Castle, early in October, in honour of the coming of age of H. Liddell, Esq. The Duke of Cambridge visited the coal-mines of Durham on Wednesday last, and inspec ted the various o p erati ons of the colliers and their machinery. It is rumoured at Aylesbury that Captain Harrtilton, is about to take up a three years' residence in British India. If true, this will create a vacancy in the election for the bo rough. REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF FLOUR.—The Sheffield poor-law guardians have contra cted for a supply of three hundred sacks of bread flour, containing in all 5,400 stones, at two shillings per stone. The notorious Vidocq, whose memoirs excited so great an interest some few years ago, and who has for some time past been employed in recovering debts, &c., has been arrested, with one of his clerks named Gouffe, for illegally confining an individual and compulsorily obliging him to execute certain 6iest p er Ec'itzE , deeds. s th .T :r N e l d vn w s h l o TY OF LONDON.—FIRST EXAMINATION FOR O vv r iti l rh .B is .— bro l‘ t i h r er H , by the senaOtebtoafintihnego m be r r . t Dawson Harling, of B.

The A rdee fair, on Monday, was fully a siad bad as that of Drogheda . The Drgyheda Argus says, "It was the dullest we ever r ecollect this season. The Tariff mer sure and the English riots were considered as the cause. B e it what it may, nearly all the stock on the green left it unsold." SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Eiyitt o'clock. BY EXPRESS. ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have just received by extraordinary express from Paris the following telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles, dated the 30th August, at seven o'clock in the morning : " MALTA, AVG. 26. " The Great Liverpool, which arrived this evening at five o'clock, with the dispatches from India, brings the following news from Jellalabad, and from the camp of General Pollock. They are dated the 22nd June, and are of the most dismal description. Sickness, extreme heat, the want of food, and the simoons, are decimating the army. The discontent and the inaction in which the army is left are at its height. " Ukbar Khan has seized the Bala Hissar, and the trea sures which were left there. "The Governor. General has given full permission to Ge neral Pollock to act as he may think proper. " Symptoms of mutiny have shown themselves among the Sheiks. "The news from Candahar is to the 11th of June, and it is without interest. " Nothing important has taken place in China. It is said that the Emperor has fled into Tartary. "The preparations for marching upon Chapoo were com pleted ; but the army remained in a state of inaction, and seemed to be completely overcome by discouragement." THIRD EDITION. COTTON MARKET-THREE O'CLOCK. An exceedingly quiet day in Cotton ; the amount of busi ness does not exceed 2500 bales, at similar prices to yester day. The sales of the week are 21,000 bales : speculators take near 5000, and the trade the remainder. Prices gene rally sd. per lb. lower. STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, AUGUST 31.—There was no material change in the state of the market yesterday. Owing to the continued absence of a large portion of the factory bands from their employment, the amount of busi ness done is still limited, and prices are very irregular. Ge nerally speaking, they were rather higher yesterday than on the preceding Tuesday ; and the demand, especially for yarn, continues to be extensive. Until the factories resume work, however, no decisive opinion can be formed as to the actual state of the market. CRICKET.—KENT V. ALL ENGLAND. —On Saturday this, the third match which has been played this season be tween eleven of Kent and a similar number chosen from the other counties of England, was concluded, after three (lays' play,"commencing on Wednesday last, at Bromley, when, contrary to general anticipation, the Kentish party were completely defeated, their adversaries winning the match with ten wickets to go . down. It is not generally known, although it is a positive fact, that-the.exeelatars.of the late. Marquis of Hertford, having failed in convicting Suisse in the Central Criminal Court, have commenced a civil action against him for £BO,OOO. On Saturday ii judge's warrant was issued for his apprehension. The .bail that would have been required is £160,000. Morniay paper. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, AUGUST 29.—There has been air improved demand for flannels to-day, and the buyers have purchased very freely ; but the manufacturers have not been able to get any advance in price. The wool market has been very dull, and a very limited quantity of business has been transacted at former prices. ATTACK OF AN ELEPHANT. — An accident occurred at Hawkhurst fair, which had nearly proved fatal to one of the inhabitants of the place, by an attack from one of the ele phants in the fair. It appears that Mr. Richard How and his wife were among the company who had gone into the booth or show to view this animal, and, like many others, had been treating the elephant to some of the delicacies which are,to be purchased at all country fairs. He had just turned his hack about to leave the place, when the elephant twisted' his trunk round him, and threw him with great violence against the sides of the place, breaking two or three of his ribs, and otherwise much injuring his shoulder, &c. When down, the elephant endeavoured to tread upon him, first, however, picking his pocket of the only remaining apple in it ; and had it not been for a piece of timber which fortunately lay on the ground between his foot and Mr. How, his destruction would have been inevitable. Mr. How owes the preservation of Isis life' entirely to this fortu nate circumstance, added to the prompt and kind assistance he met with from a neighbour.—Maidetone Journal.

AUGUST 29. The supplies of all kinds of grain throughout last week were tolerably good, particularly of Foreign Wheat, of which 6 . 1,4 t 0 quarters arrived during the week. The demand was altogether of a languid character, with a tendency rather to go lower in prices than the reverse, and on Friday Wheats receded from 2s to 3s per quarter. To this morning's market the supply of English samples fresh up was moderate. The Wheat being mostly new, and some of a very fine description, the trade opened dull, and must he quoted 4s cheaper than this day week, or about is lower than on Friday. The demand for free Foreign is confined to the finer de scriptions, the millers buying in limited quantities to supply imme diate wants. In Barley there is scarcely any trade passing, and prices undergo no change. Oats are a dull sale at last week'S Prices. Foreign of low middling description extremely difficult to quit. Beans and Peas unaltered, a few samples of New Beans of fine qualities offering. In Flour we hear of no alteration New, to this hour, 52 o'clock. Canary Seed appeared for the first time, and re alised sos to sss per quarter. All other Seeds in fair demand at last week's prices. Baritets. WARRINGTON CORN MARKET, AUGUST 30. Total quantities.

The continued stoppage of machinery by the turn-outs has caused a temporary check in our market; and the pause has enabled purchasers to execute their orders on decidedly better terms than last week, amounting to about id per lb. Sales yester day 3,400, and to-day 3,000 bales. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, AUGUST 29. Our anticipations expressed on Friday last respecting to-day's market have been realised. The late rains have been general throughout the country, and the prospect of an increase of " keep" everywhere spoken of. The supplies of Cattle to.day were rather larger than ordinarily, from the expectation of an increased de mand for Cattle for "stock." Of Horned Cattle we had upwards of a;ou head, and of Sheep and Lambs nearly 31,000. The trade was generally brisk, and higher prices in most cases demanded and readily obtained. Total clearances were effected at an earlier hour than usual, LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 29. With the exception of a further good quantity of foreign Wheat, there is little addition to the arrivals reported at the close of the week ; but we may shortly look for regularly increasing supplies of Irish produce, a few scanty lots only of which have as yet come to hand. At this day's market there was a good attendance of both town and country millers, and the transactions in Wheat, though by no means extensive, were to a tolerably fair amount, at the currency of this day se'nnight : several par cels were taken on speculation, and upon the whole a less anxious disposition to press sales was observable. Good fresh brands of Flour met a steady sale at full prices, but all inferior qualities continued neglected. Grinding Barleys and Pease are offered on lower terms, without finding buyers to any extent. Beans in limited request, but not cheaper. Old Oats were almost without inquiry to-day, still we repeat our last quotations. _ Both old and new Oatmeal were in better demand for the country, and obtained Gd. per load advance. A small lot of new Irish White Oats brought 3s. per 451b5., and Black 2s. Bd. per 451bs. PREMIUMS OF INSURANCE AT LLOYD'S. LONDON & LIVERPOOL, Jamaica Leeward Isl. Dem. & Berbice.
