GENTLEMEN, —The con ttee of ti Northern Institution, in presenting to the public the fir •. •• s, with a catalogue of the library , ntribut ch neglected part of the town, but that it re extended usefulness; whilst, therefor y feel grateful for t pecuniary and all ered during the last two years by those favourable to the istruction of the people, and which has been of essential -vice to the existence of the institution, they would take opportunity of submitting their views of its claims J the continued patronage and support of the community, nd of the means best calculated to give efficiency and en • argement to its operations. It appears, from statistical and other published documents, that by far the greater part of our criminal population is totally or very imperfectly acquainted with the elements of literature, and hence it is that we hear exhortations from the bench of justice, confirmed by the governors and superin- Le present tendents of prisons, to devise the means of removing or a minishing the gross ignorance and vice pervading of the neglected masses of our populous towns and citie.. The sentiments of Lord Denman have already been referred the minds to in the report, and it was only at the Liverpool sessions in October that we find the Recorder coinciding with the views of the Lord Chief Justice. The Recorder, in addressing the grand jury, regretted the heaviness of the calendar, and ob served that imprisonment was quite ineffective for the pre . vention of crime, and did not seem to arrest the evil in the slightest degree. Of the prisoners awaiting their trials, one ha!f had been convicted over and over again. The only ef fective remedy was the improvement of the people, by giving them sound moral and religious education. And when we reflect on the condition of a large portion of the working population, unable to read the address of a let ter, or even the words descriptive of a place of business, dead to the thousand instances of information inviting attention on every hand, prompted to relieve the tedium of life by re course to sensual and pernicious stimulants, how listless and dreary, how comparatively profitless to others and themselves must such a life be passed. Considering, further, that books record the accumulated observations and experience of ages, how powerfully should our sympathies be excited in behalf of those unable to draw for themselves any supplies from these inexhaustible sources of intellectual and moral wealth. Passing over the numerous advantages arising from ability to write, the committee would just refer to the extended ra mifications of our colonization and commerce, and to the consequent dispersion of families and friends, as sufficient to show how exceedingly desirable and important is the ability to correspond by letter, in order to keep alive and cherish those kindly affections, on the exercise of which depend so essentially the comfort and happiness of life. . . But it is also on behalf of the working classes, as mechanics and artisans, that the committee would enlist public sympa thy and support, assured that a knowledge diffused amongst them of those principles of natural philosophy and chemistry applicable to the arts and ordinary occupations of life, and of which they are in the daily application, would prove of incal culable benefit both to the employed and their employers. It is thus that a cultivated understanding becomes a well spring of life to him that hath it. The word philosophy is by many erroneously and unhappily applied to subjects remote from common life, unconscious that it is by its agency we are com manded to replenish the earth and subdue it ; that its truths are intimately and essentially blended with all our interests and pursuits, personal and domestic, manufacturing and com mercial; that we are everywhere surrounded by its results, daily and hourly enjoying its benefits, or suffering from the non-application and extension of its principles ; that, through its universally applied agency, our country has 'risen to its present height of power and splendour, every fresh acquisi tion enabling us to advance still further in the career of na tional greatness and of individual comfort and enjoyment, at each successive step brightening our hopes, and strengthening our convictions that its resources are equally inexhausted and inexhaustible. Again, whether viewed in reference to the practical appli cation of the principles and truths of natural philosophy ; to its supply of materials for thought, pure, pleasant, and ele vating to the soul ; to the relative facility, with proper appa ratus, of making interesting and profitable progress ; or to its adaptation to the wants of the classes frequenting mechanics' institutions,—the sentiments of the following writers of esta blished reputation and celebrity will evince that its impor tance and fitness cannot easily be over estimated : " Nothing can be more serviceable and beneficial in life than experimental philosophy. To the want of proper ex periments, and the taste for reading and making them, must be attributed all our ignorance in natural things. There is no employment wherein mankind is so much and so generally concerned as in the study of natural philosophy. 'Twas a truly great saying of Plato, ' The world is God's epistle to mankind ;' for God, accordingly by Solomon, sends the sluggard to learn industry of the ant, and Christ commands his disciples to learn prudence and inoffensiveness from ser pents and doves ; he bids them also consider the lilies of the field, in order to acquire a firm reliance on God ; and the Psalmist grows humble by contemplating the highest works of nature. Methinks 'tis plain that to hinder the progress of natural knowledge detracts from God's glory, as well as obstructs man's felicity."—See Boyle's Usefulness of Natu ral Philosophy, and his Works, by Dr. Shaw, 1725. Thus the sciences of the present day all prove to be con genial to the word of God, and the wisest of men in all ages bear testimony to the same. " Nothing, then, can be more unfounded than the objection which has been taken, in lirnine, by persons, well meaning perhaps, but certainly not well in formed, against the study of natural philosophy, and, indeed, against all science, that it fosters in its cultivators an undue and overweening self-conceit, leads them to doubt the im mortality of the soul, and to scoff at revealed religion. Its natural effect, we may confidently assert, on every well con stituted mind, is and must be the direct contrary ; en couraging rather than suppressing every thing that can offer a prospect or a hope beyond the present obscure and unsatis factory state." mind which biberl a t quirt', and has learnt the habit of applying its principles readily to the causes which occur, has within itself an inex haustible source of pure and exciting contemplations ; lassi tude is excluded from his life, and that craving after artifi cial excitement and dissipation of mind which leads so many into frivolous, unworthy, and destructive pursuits, is alto gether eradicated from his bosom. These pleasures are to be enjoyed in every situation in which a man can be placed in life ; in the intervals of the most active business; and the calm and dispassionate interest with which they fill the mind renders them a most delightful retreat from the agitations and dissensions of the world, ane from the conflict of Passions, prejudices, and interests in which the man of business finds himself continually involved."—Sir John Herschell's _Dis course on Me study of Natural Philosophy. " Physics, or natural philosophy, is fundamental to the other sciences, and is, therefore, that of which a knowledge is indispensable. Lord Bacon truly calls it " the root of the sciences and arts." If the study of physics be so easy as now appears, there can be no excuse for neglecting it. The greatest sum of knowledge acquired with the least trouble is, perhaps, that which comes with the study of the few simple truths of physics. A man reading a thousand volumes of ordinary books as agreeable pastime will receive only vague impressions, but he who studies the methodised book of na ture converts the great universe into a simple and sublime history, which tells of God, and may worthily occupy his attention to the end of his days ; " for the works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein." " The laws of physics govern the great natural phenomena of astronomy, the tides, winds, currents, &c. Some of the artificial purposes to which man's ingenuity has made the same laws subservient, are, in civil engineering —canals, docks, harbours, bridges, common roads, railroads ; in archi tecture—temples, pyramids, domes, and palaces ; in machi nery—the steam engine, weaving, spinning, and moulding machines, windmills, water-mills, and wheel carriages, im plements of husbandry and of warfare, the balloon, the div ing bell ; the implements of the intellectual arts, of printing, drawing, painting, sculpture, &c. ; musical instruments, and a thousand others. Reverting to the importance of natural philosophy as a general study, it may be remarked that there is no occupation which so much strengthens and quickens the judgment." "From contemplating the beauty of creation with the wis dom and benevolent design manifested in all its parts, there spring up in every undepraved mind those feelings of admi ration and gratitude which constitute the adoration of the Great Jehovah, the maker and governor of the universe, and which form, as shown by many estimable writers on natural theology, a fit foundation for the sublime doctrine of immor tality. There have been, however, at various times, even among Christians, sincere, but weak-minded or ill-informed men, who decried the study of the natural sciences as inimi cal to true religion, as if (,od's ever visible and magnificent revelation of his attributes in the structure of the universe could be at variance with any other revelation. But such prejudices are now quickly passing away."—lntroduction to Dr. Arnott's Elements of Physics. " It is just because we wish so well to colleges that we hail the prosperity of mechanics' institutions. The latter will never outrun the former, but so stimulate them onwards that the literature of our higher classes shall hold the same rela tive advancement as before over the literature of our arti sans. It will cause no derangement and no disproportion. The light which shall then overspread the floor of the social edifice will only cause the lustres which are in the higher apartments to blaze more gorgeously. The basement of the fabric will be greatly more elevated, yet without violence to the symmetry of the whole architecture, for the pinnacles and upper stories of the building will rise as proudly and as gracefully as ever above the platform which sustains them. There is indefinite room in truth and science for an ascend ing movement, and the taking up of higher positions, and if, in virtue of a popular philosophy now taught in schools of art, we are to have more lettered mechanics, this will in stantly be followed up by a higher philosophy in colleges than hdretofore, and in virtue of which we shall have a more ac complished gentry, a more intelligent parliament, a more erudite clergy, and altogether agreater force and fullness of mind throughout all the departmenti of the commonwealth. The whole of society will ascend together, and therefore without disturbance to the relation of its parts. But in every stage of this progress the endowed colleges will continue to be the highest places of intellect. the country's richest lore ; and its most solid and severest philosophy will always be found in them."—Dr. Chalmer's Use and Abuse of lhe Ec clesiastical Endowments. In the report of the meeting held at Leeds in October last, on the occasion of founding a new mechanics' hall, and which was attended by gentlemen of all political parties, including several magistrates and the members of parliament for the borough, the Rev. Dr. Drury, after detailing an interesting interview with Prince Albert, whilst exhibiting, in company with the Rev. Dr. Scoresby, some ingenious mechanical im provement by a member, observed that he thought a great increase of human happiness might take place, by spreading amongst all classes of society a love of science, the increase of national power and strength being dependent on its dif fusion. This sentiment was most liberally responded to by Wm. Aldam, jun., Esq., M.P., presenting for the use of the members a splendid apparatus, chemical, electrical, galvanic, and pneumatical, calculated at several hundred pounds value. But whilst such are the authorities on which the committee rest their claims on behalf of the working classes, it is obvi ous there must be appropriate means for bringing the infor mation needed prominently and attractively before the notice both of the young and of those more advanced in years. Now, it is well known that the initiatory departments of learning are usually dry and uninviting, but the various ex emplifications of the principles and results of physics, or na tural philosophy, tend to rouse the dormant energies, stimu late cariosity, and prepare the mind to submit to the preli minary labour requisite for its practical application. As ad ditional inducements and facilities towards useful acquire ment, "suitable apartments should be supplied with books, Sketches, diagrams, views, maps, instruments, implements, specimens, &c., so that the pupil may, as it were, breathe the atmosphere of the required kno wledge."—Mr..l. Smith's Suggestions on Natural Education. In the belief that the majority of the working classes are not in a condition to supply themselves with the requisite materials for their due improvement, the committee submit the present address to the respectful consideration of the in tellectually cultivated, the benevolent, the wealthier portion y. They also indulge the hope that the as trustees for the public weal, may be in luced to appropriate any available funds in providing suita "OOMS, apparatus, Szz., for illustrating the principles of tl philosophy and chemistry, with their application to ious arts and pursuits of life. ippeal, the committee feel assured, might justly be the grounds of financial economy, for in pro- Town Council the var This made even on ness, and waste people, ignorance, would disappear, and become supplanted by intelligence, frugality, forethought, and improved national production of every useful kind, the county rates and poor rates would be reduced, new mechanics' institutions, instead of new prisons and new workhouses, would be called for, the resources of our country would bo incalculably augmented, and her pre eminence amongst the nations of the world be maintained to January, 1842, MISCELLANEOUS WEST CORNWAT. rvative candidate E LE CTI O` Mr. Basset is the con. d Sir Charles Lemon is put forward b 3 The Rev.

PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGE QUESTION.—It is said that the Attorney-General has given instructions to Sir Thomas Staples, Q.C., and other law officers of the crown, to prepare forthwith the draft of a bill to legalise all such marriages as have been solemnised by Presbyterian clergymen between parties, one of whom was not of that persuasion. It seems that it will not be prospective. COACH ACCIDENT.—A correspondent informs us, with reference to the death of Mr. Jones, that be was an Inde pendent Minister who, with his wife and three small chil dren, were proceeding from Oswestry to Kerry, near New town, where he intended carrying on his ministerial labours. The Royal Oak Welshpool coach, in which they travelled, was upset by coming in contact with a heap of stones left on the road, there not being a lamp on that side of the coach. Mr. Jones, with his wife, (who was also injured,) and chil dren. were taken into the Nag's Head Inn, where Dr. Johnes promptly and benevolently attended him. He died, how ever, on Thursday.—Salopian Journal. AVARICE REWARDED. M. Blainville, the naturalist, and M. Gervais, a distinguished anatomist, went last week to Abbeville, with the intention of purchasing the carcase of the whale thrown on the shore a short time since (as we men tioned), at Berck, not far from the mouth of the Somme. The persons who owned the carcase refused to part with it except at an enormous price, and were at length fortunate enough to find a buyer for 1,700 fr., who thought to realise a considerable profit by the blubber and oil. When the whale was cut up, the blubber was found all spoiled from the length of time which had elapsed since its death, and in fact the animal was worth scarcely anything at all.—Galignanes Messenger. THREE LIVES LOST BY DROWNING.—On Saturday night the western coast was visited by a storm, accompanied by thunder and lightning. The rain fell in torrents until about midnight, when the gale was at its height. At this moment two of the water guards, who bad just conveyed, from the Squintz side to Castletownsend, a man of Mr. Thomas So merville's, were returning, when their boat was upset and themselves drowned, together with a boy by whom they were accompanied. One of the water guards was a good swimmer, but the sea was so high at the time that skill was of no avail to him.. The bodies of the men had been washed ashore, but that of the boy had not been found.—Southern Reporter. ANOTHER BURGLARY.—Yesterday week about six o'clock, last after S. L. Behrens, Esquire, of Catteral, had returned home to dinner, three men forced their way into the house, and deliberately locked the door, after which they proceeded to their work of plunder. From the person of Mr. Behrens they took a blue and red striped purse, containing three or four pounds in gold, one half sovereign, and some silver; also a flat gold horizontal watch, with gold chain. The au dacious intruders, having committed this robbery, locked up Mr. Behrens and the two women servants, at the same time threatening to murder them if they gave any alarm. They then pursued their search for plunder, but do not seem to have obtained much other valuable property.—Preslon Chro nicle. MR. AINSWORTH'S MA GAZINE—A MONTHLY MIS CELLANY, ILLUSTRATED BY GEORGE CRUIKSHAN K. — Mr Harrison Ainsworth, author of " Rookwood," " The Tower of London," and other productions of great celebrity, is about to start a monthly miscellany of romance, general literature, and art, of which he will be the sole editor. In this pet iodical work, Mr. Ainsworth will commence a new story of the time of Hogarth, to be called " The Miser's Daughter," a subject which will enable him to represent the curious and most distinguishing features of that most inte resting epoch. The illustrations of this story will be designed and etched on the fullest scale, consistent with the page, by Mr. George Cruikshank, whose rare genius enables him, more than any living artist, to give, with the truth and spirit of actual life, the manners and humours of the Hogarthian period. That he might concentrate the whole of his powers on " Ainsworth's Magazine," Mr. Cruikshank has discon tinued his " Omnibus," as a monthly publication. Inde pendently of the steel plates, the pages of the magazine will be embellished by numerous wood -cuts, also by Mr. Cruik shank. The editor's story will extend each month to about the same quantity as was given every number of "The Tower of London." Mr. Ainsworth, desirous bestowing on his magazine the utmost variety, has been fortunate in en gaging, as contributors, the most celebrated writers of the day. The first number of the work will appear on the 29th of January, and be continued every month. FATHER M ATHEW—A POPISH MIRACLE.—The follow ing extraordinary statement is from the Limerick Chronicle : —" The very Rev. Mr. Mathew arrived in this city last even ing by the Cork mail en route to Loughrea, and put up at Moore's hotel. Immediately after his arrival became known, hundreds of persons visited him at the hotel, where he ad ministered the pledge. One circumstance which came within public observation we may mention here, as illustrative of the effects of breaking the temperance pledge. A man named Moneyham, a tetotaller, who worked at the Butter Weigh house, got drunk on Christmas-ev, and next day became paralysed—his left arm, side, and thigh being perfectly inani mate. Ile was removed to Barrington's Hospital, and re mained there under the care of the surgeons without im provement, until last evening, when his friends having heard of Fatber Mathew's arrival in town, went to the hos tal and brought him out on a man's back to where the Rev. Mr. Mathew was staying ; a crowd had collected round the door, when the unhappy invalid was carried into his presence, and the reverend gentleman administered to him the pledge again in a kind and impressive manner, and the man instantly stood up, was assisted by his friends to dress, and to the as tonishment of all, walked up William-street to his home, fol lowed by a crowd of people." (!) NOVEL OCCURRENCE IN THE TOWN OF MALLOW.—On Monday week a circumstance occurred, which might well find a place among the most amusing anecdotes of sporting. A hare was seen scampering through the town of Mallow, from one end to the other of the main street. As she passed along it seemed as if, accustomed to a solitary existence, she had taken an opportunity of paying "a flying visit" to the crowded haunts of men, and was determined to produce a sensation in the town. But the interest created by her ap pearance was very soon succeeded by feelings of a more ex citing nature, when that admirable and skilfully hunted pack of beagles belonging to N. Webb Ware, of Woodfort, Esq., dashed through the street in full pursuit, closely followed by their proprietor and his youthful son--Primos et Ascanius curses, ut latus equestres Ducebat—with other gentlemen. The busy inhabitants of this populous little town for a few moments resigned tbeir various avocations, and hurrying to their doors, witnessed an incident which they will, no doubt, hereafter hand down at their firesides as an amusing tradition to their grand-children. As for the countrymen in town, they were beside themselves with delight. The highest interest was manifested as to the fate of poor puss, and all were delighted to learn that she was ultimately safe in the arms of the gentlemanlike and popular owner of as gallant a pack as ever they were iu the good times, when Henry Brad dell, Esq., with a jocund heart (and we may indeed add with as good a heart as ever beat) cheered them along " right merrily."—Cork Constitution. SAVAGE ATTEMPT TO MURDER.—On last Monday there was a savage and daring attempt made to murder Edward Gaynor, a respectable;and innoffensive young man, in the vicinity of this town. It seems he was ploughing in a field opposite his father's house, at Ballinaclough, when four mis ceants, three of whom were armed with pistols, came up to him, and compelled him to kneel in the " scrape ;" while in this posture, two of them discharged their pistols close to the lower region of the belly, and lodged three balls in that part of his body. One of the balls passed from the left hip across to the right thigh, doing severe and serious injury .in its course. The third pistol was then discharged at the horses, hut without any other effect than that of causing them to plunge madly through the field. Supposing their victim to be lifeless, the sanguinary and brutal wretches retired in the direction of Kilcarey, in the burial-ground of which place they made a pause, as if to hold a consultation before they separated. Gaynor still survives—having received prompt surgical aid, hopes are entertained of his recovery.—Nenagh Guardian. STATE OF TRADE.—At this season of the year the trade of Leicester is generally flat ; but, at the present time, com pared with former years, it is rather better, and a consider able improvement is expected during the year. Cotton and wool are now come in, and another clip will be inhand in about five months ; this added to the large stocks in the hands of the growers, must prevent higher prices ; neither is it desire able a greater price should be given for wool, as it would only lead to larger importations or the substitution of cotton. Much is said about the importation of cotton stockings from Saxony dyed black, superseding the worsted black so gene rally worn by females—cold feet and coughs will probably cause a return to the comfort of English manufacture. We have often been surprised that more attention has not been given to the making an elegant worsted stocking, such as ladies would like to wear. The last Nottingham news-paper states, that an increasing trade is carrying on in coats and trowsers wove in tire stocking frame; and if the hosiers and masters begin to manufacture large articles of apparel, our stocking-makers will again see good times, and frames and mills be fully employed.—Leicester Journal. FASTING.—In the first report of the inspectors of prisons is to be found a singular instance of long abstinence from food, terminated, however, at last by death, as Cavannah's would have been had he carried out his system of fasting to the last extreme. Under the head of " Ipswich Borough Gaol" the following anecdote is recorded :—" There has been one death in the present year under such extraordinary circumstances, that I venture to cite the case, although not immediately in connexion with the subject of the report. Wiliam Casey, a native of Ireland, was tried March 9, 1835, for the murder of his child, and was acquitted on the ground of insanity. He then manifested a determination to destroy himself, and every care, was taken to prevent him. He then resolved to effect it by starvation, and refused all food. The first ten days he was without a drop of water. On the eleventh day he drank a quart. Then he went for several days without food, and drank a quantity of water again. Food in every enticing variety was placed and left before him, and carpets were laid in the approaches to his cell, in order that he might be watched. He was frequently seen to crawl out of bed and smell the food, and then return. His wife once attempted to put a strawberry into his mouth, and he would have strangled her had he not been prevented. He lived on in this way, taking nothing but water, except on one occasion, during the last five days of his life, when he took a little rum. He died on the Ist of August. During the whole period of his confinement he always stood, and was never known to sit down when not in bed. His violence was so great as to preclude the possibility of the surgeon's admi nistering nutriment to him otherwise than by the natural channel." CHILD Mutti3Eit.—We deeply regret being under the necessity of giving the details of another brutal act, by which a human being has been deprived of life on its very threshold. The accused is a single woman, of loose character, named Elizabeth Poole, residing with her uncle at Lee Bridge, be tween this town and Market Drayton, and who had formerly given birth to two illegitimate children. On Sunday night last, her uncle turned her out of doors, and she proceeded to the residence of an aunt at some distance, named Maddox, from whom she entreated a night's lodging, which was re luctantly granted. In the morning the husband of Maddox got up, and made a fire previous to going out to his work ; and Elizabeth Poole was then observed to get out and into bed twice or thrice, which induced her aunt to ask if she was unwell, to which she replied that she felt sick and very poorly. Maddox having left, the prisoner went down into kitchen, and presently Mrs. Maddox and a niece sleeping in the same room thought they heard an infant cry, and on the niece hastening down stairs she saw an infant, and told her aunt. The aunt then came down stairs, and both fol lowed the prisoner to an outhouse, where they found her, and on looking under the seat, they saw the body of an infant amongst the filth. Terrified at the sight, they went off for found that the poor infant, in its assistance, and n ear l y an hour elapsed b efore they procure d it. On returning they death struggle, had s li g h t l y altered its position, and stretc h e d out its arms, but was quite dead. The unhappy mother was taken into custody, and an inquest held on the body of the child; but the committal of the prisoner is postponed till she is in a condition to be removed.—Shropshire Conservative. 4echa aid se- A gang of ,desperate housebreakers has been captured at :er g and comnlitt, ATED Sc —The publ ;heir guard against rec ng sovereigns defaced by plugging, eat numbers of which are said to be in circulation.

The deceased, who was the youngest daughter of Thomas, first Earl of Howth, and aunt of the present earl, was relict of the late venerable Dr. James Phillott, Archdeacon of Bath, and was upwards of 80 years of age. GIGANTIC HADDOCK.—On the 14th ult. a haddock, of the following extraordinary dimensions, was caught off Findhorn and brought for sale at Forres fish-market :—lt measured 3 feet long, 19 inches in circumference at the thickest part of its body, and weighed 131 b. It was bought by a thrifty host ess in town for 3d.—Forres Gazette. CRUEL ROBBERY.—On Saturday night last the cottage of a poor industrious widow, in the village of Tredington, was broken open during her temporary absence attending on a sick neighbour, and a chest of drawers carried away which was found in an adjoining field broken open and rifled of a sovereign, a half sovereign, and a quantity of silver, the hard earnings of a life of toll, together with a silver watch, and all the wearing apparel she possessed.—Gloucestershire Chro nicle. On Monday last Humphrey Ovenden, a fine young man, of great promise, son of Charles Ovenden, Esq., J.P., went into an island in Lough Erne, opposite Rossfad-house, to shoot rabbits, where he had killed two, and on his return was shot dead by his fowling-piece having accidentally discharged. The boat was discovered floating with the current, and some persons on the shore supposing it had been carried from its moorings, and that the unfortunate young man had been left on the island, pushed from the land to secure it, when he was discovered lying in the bottom.—Enniskillen Reporter. EXTRAORDINARY RECOVERY PROM DROPSY !—Mrs. Pickering, fifty-nine years of age, and wife to a pensioner re siding near Castledawson, laboured under abdominal dropsy for more than two years, during which period the operation of tapping was performed seventy-three times, by Mr. Mac lean, of the above place—taking away' at each time from ten to twelve quarts of fluid! She is now so far recovered as to be able to attend to her usual household business—not hav ing had occasion for a repetition of the operation for the last five months.—Ulster Times. The following are the receipts of the principal railways for the last week, that is to say, up to the date to which the re spective returns are made :—Blackwall, £505 ; Great North of England, £1085 ; Hull and Selby, £545; Eastern Coun ties, £635; Birmingham, £12,408; Great Western, £9319 ; Northern and Eastern, £778 ; South-Western, £3768 ; North Midland, £325: Manchester and Birmingham, £305; Midland Counties, £2138 ; Manchester and Leeds, £3784 ; Birmingham and Derby, £1325; and York and North Mid land, £1145. RAILWAY BETWEEN DUBLIN AND CORK.—A numerous meeting of noblemen and gentlemen was held in Cork on Thursday last, when resolutions were passed that a railway from Cork to Dublin would be of great advantage to the in terests of the south of Ireland, and that the extension to Cork of the proposed railway from Dublin to Kilkenny would not only open a direct communication between the metropolis and Cork, along with the existing stream of traffic, but would also provide for the cities and towns of Carlow, Kilkenny, Clonmel, Waterford, Wexford, and. Ross, a more ready means of intercourse than any other line could give, while, at the same time, such main line would admit of easy extension to Limerick. SNOW STORM IN SCOTLAND.—The snow storm continued till Friday evening, being an onfall of nearly 48 hours. On the last day it was accompanied by a keen frost, which har dened the particles as they fell and rendered locomotion par ticularly difficult. Most of the coaches were more or less behind their time, and from Thursday till Sunday night the English mail has been from four to five hours due before her arrival, from which we learn that there has also been a heavy fall to•the south. Saturday continued to be a day of severe frost, but Sunday opened with a mild thaw, and in the course of it a good deal of the:snow found its way from the streets to the river in a melted state. We need scarcely say that an embargo has been laid on all field labour. —Glasgow Herald. STATISTICS OF MURDER.—The murders which have been registered and noted in the abstracts (in Mr. Parr's letter to the Registrar-General) on the authority of the verdicts of coroners' juries, amounted in two years to 156—males 103 ; females, 53. The proportion to the population is five to a million annually, or lin 200,000. Of 148 persons murdered, whose ages were abstracted, 78 were aged 20 and upwards. If we assume that half the population is above 20 years of age, about 53 in a million adults were murdered annually. The number of cases in which verdicts of murder were brought in was above the average in the south-western coun ties, in Lancashire and Cheshire, the south-eastern counties, the north midland counties, and the metropolis. If infants be excluded, the greatest proportion of murders occurred in Lancashire and Cheshire; the smallest proportion in Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk. INFAMOUS FABRICATION.—The Dublin Monitor has earned most equivocal notoriety of late by putting forward revolting fabrications, charging the commission of horrible outrages upon " English officers " and " Orange miscreants" and other very inhuman parties, who exist in very large num bers in the imagination of the aforesaid Monitor. Not con tent «i:11 a floating capital of falsehood on the subject of an imaginary " fracas" between the Archbishop of Dublin and the Lord Chancellor, the Monitor contained, a week ago, a shocking detail of some English officers and a tory justice of peace roasting an idiot boy at Philipstovvn, after bedaubing him with oil of turpentine or some other application to make their " Orange" gratification the more complete. Unfortu nately it seems that a coroner and twelve jurors upon oath stated that the person to have come by his death "by the visitarion of God ; " and the heartless profligacy, which could for the purposes of faction invent such a story, has been fully exposed. ELECTION OF A SCOTTISH PEER.—On Wednesday the peers of Scotland met in the picture gallery in the palace of Holyrood-house, Edinburgh, to elect one of their number to sit and vote in the House of Lords, in the room of the Earl of Elgin, deceased. There were only eight peers present, viz., the Dukes of Buccleuch and Argyle, the Earls of Home, Lauderdale, Leven and Melville, Hopetoun , and Dalhousie , and Lord Polwarth. The proceedings of the day were opened by prayer by Principal Lee, one of the deans of the chapel royal, after which the royal warrant for the meeting was read by Mr. Ferguson, clerk of session. The oaths of abjuration and allegiane having been administered to the peers present, the Duke of Buccieuch voted for the Earl of Home as the new representative peer, as did all the others, with the ex ception of the Eari of Home, who declined to vote. There were also read signed lists from the following peers, all voting for the Earl of Home :—Earls of Morton, Wemyss and March, Selkirk, Seafield, Glasgow, and Bute, Viscount Ar buthnot, and Lord Rollo. _ HINTS TO CONSERVATIVES. —The 31st of January is the very last day on which a conveyance should be executed to entitle a county voter for it to send in his claim to be regis tered next year. An occupier to the amount of £5O per an num must have been in the occupation of his qualification on the 31st of July last. Any person, however, who may come into possession of a q ualification by descent, succession, marriage, devise, or promotion to any benefice in a church, or by promotion to any office, at any time within such re spective periods, will be entitled in respect thereof to have his name inserted in the list then to he made out by the over seers. Besides freeholders and £5O tenants, the following may claim—viz., owners of copyhold, leasehold for lives, or' leasehold for any time originally created for not less than sixty years, to the amount of £lO per annum in each case, or leasehold for any term originally created for not less than twenty years, of the annual value of £5O. There are also other ways in which an interest derivable from real property may confer a vote, as in cases of mortgages in possession, and•annuities, &c. LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—CURIOUS Accc- DENT.—On Tuesday a singular accident happened to one of the passenger trains. It appears that a gentleman engaged for the conveyance of his carriage to Brighton, and the truck on which it was placed was in the last train. The owner, although advised to the contrary, persisted in riding in his own carriage. On the train reaching Balcome tunnel (the largest on the line) by some means the truck became disen gaged and left the carriage in the middle of the tunnel. The unfortunate occupant perceiving the train leaving him called after them but in vain, and finding they proceeded on their journey, he became dreadfully alarmed, being afraid to alight and not knowing weather in a few minutes he might not be dashed to pieces by the next train. He had not been long in this suspense when an engine entered the tunnel puffingaway, and the whistle screaming, he now considered his fate sealed ; but the engine proved to be a pilot one, sent to look after him the truck and carriage fortunately been missed on the train arriving at the next station. The carriage and occupant were conveyed to Brighton, where they arrived soon after the train, and the only damage was the great fright the gentleman sus tained. The accident ought to be a warning to the servants of the company, as the consequences would be fearful to con template had a train come in collision with the truck. Exit RAORDINARY SUPERSTITION.—On Saturday Louisa. wife of J. Stebbings, was examined before the mayor and magistrates of Yarmouth, charged with having robbed the house of William J. Presant of a dressing-case, containing 601. ih money, and a silver watch. A witness stated that the prisoner was detected by the Bible and key. On being ques tioned by the mayor, witness stated that Mrs. Presant having made known her loss a number of neighbours were summoned to meet together, when the ceremony took place, which she described. A Bible is procured, and the wards of a key, being placed in or about the middle, the book is tied so that the key, on being suspended by the bow, wilt sustain the weight of the book ; a thread is fastened to the bow of the key, and each party in succession places the thread on his or her finger, thus suspending the book therefrom. Some incauta tion is pronounced, and the Bible is expected to rev o l ve if the party be guilty, a n d rema i n sta ti on ary if innocent. Wit ness went on to state, that the ceremony having been perfor med on several, and no effect produced, it was at last prac tised upon prisoner, when to her consternation, the Bible twirled rapidly, and she uttered an exclamation of surprise and terror, and con f esse d h er guilt. Th e d e t a il e xc it e d muc h mirth lin court. A police officer proceeded to her house, where he found her, and took from her five 51. notes of the bank of Gurney and Co., five sovereigns, and two half sove reigns. She fetched the silver watch, and said she had bought furniture and clothes with the remaining 291. The box. she stated, she threw into the river, whence it has since been re covered, and is in possession of an officer. She was commit ted for trial.—Essex Herald. MEETING OF SHIP -OWNERS.—An important, numerous, and most influential meeting of the ship-owners of the Tyne, Wear, and Tees, was held in Newcastle-on-Tyue, on Tues day last. The striking feature of the meeting was the utter rout and defeat of the anti-English faction of free-traders— the political allies of th e se lfi s h millocrats, and the grovelling panderers to the factious designs of the prostrate whig-radi cals personated by the " small" statesman Lord John Rus sell, and such " enlightened " patriots of the nineteenth century as are honoured with the management of the stul tified Newcastle and Gateshead Ship-Owners' Society. These parties, with all the peculiar craft and subtlety of whig gem concocted the meeting for the purpose of bolstering up the free-trade dogmas of the defunct ministry, and covered the artful desi gn un d er t h e s pe c ious trick of pe titioning parliament to inquire into the causes of the de pression of the shipping interests. To accomplish this purpose the rejected motion of Mr. Sheriff Carr, to the effect " that great difference of opinion existed among ship-owners as to the t rue cause o f the admitted depres sion" was contrived, and had it been suffered to pass as the affirmed opinion of the meeting, a victory would have been achieved by the cliq ue which would have been appealed to in the House of Commons as a strong. testimony that the ship owners were undecided in their opinions. as to the cause of the gradual declension in shipping pro sperity. And what is of as much moment, the ship-owners' real sentiments would have been disg u i se d, and henceforwar d their petitions re garded as inconsistent and wavering. Thanks to the tem perate reasoning and sound practical views of Mr. Robt. Anderson, this d es i gn was u nm asked and the truth made manifest, and despite the frothy spoutings of Mr. Lockey Harle, the so l emn mouthings of Alderman Justice Brockett, and the i ns id uous reasonings of Justice Philipson, and Mr. Hutt, M, P. tr u th an d consistency tr i um phed, and an inval uable victo r y was gained for the benefit of native industry. — Newcastle Journal.

We do not discover that speculative activity in our Butter market, which is usually evinced at this period of the year ; and the continued severity of the weather renders the circumstance rather extraordinary. Holders, (of good Butter particularly.) steadily required extreme quotations, and we should be wrong in stating the currency of Belfast, Kilkenny, Sic. lower than gas to loss. Other kinds range down to 86s, according to quality, fresh ness and character. It is difficult to obtain more than 85s for pickled seconds and we believe 84s has been refused for a very large quantity. ' Beef, Pork, and Bacon, remain without alteration in price, and the demand limited. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 24. Our market to.day has been moderately supplied with Beasts, but no alteration in the prices. There was a plentiful supply of Sheep which met with a reduction of id to id per Ib, from oCiir last quotatiori. Prime Beef Girl, middling 530 to 6d ; priMe Wethers 70. Ewes and middling Sheep 6d to (lid per lb, sinking the offal Number of Beasts 1,120 ; Sheep 4,780. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 21 The import duty upon Beans is raised to 15s. 6d. per qr. ; that on all other Foreign, and wholly on British Colonial produce, remaining the same as last week. A few parcels of Wheat, a moderate quantity of Oats, and a further good supply of Oatmeal, form the principal arrivals from Ireland into this port since Tuesday, and a trivial lot of Barley is all that we have to note coastwise. From abroad, the imports consist merely of 3105 qrs. of Wheat, 712 qrs. Indian Corn, and 9400 barrels of Flour, the latter from New York. From the close of our first market this week until to-day, we have had so extremely little actual business passing in any article of the Corn trade, either free or in bond, as to render any detailed remarks perfectly unnecessary. Having a return of severe frost, with a slender attendance of millers at our Corn Exchange, to-day, all descriptions of free Wheat continued to meet a very languid sale for both home and country consumption ; but several further orders having been executed for Ireland, the holders of good quali ties evinced rather more firmness, and the current rates of Tuesday last were maintained. In bonded Wheats no recent operations have transpired. English and Irish Flour remained very difficult of sale at our last quotations ; and Foreign duty paid, although rdoving gradually, was the turn cheaper. For States Flour under lock we have bad some inquiries, and 275. offered, but the importers generally requiring 28s. per barrel, no transactions of moment have been reported to-day. Barley, Malt, and Peas remain exceedingly dull, and are rather depressed in value. • English and Irish Beans also appear to meet very little notice, whilst Egyptian are now held more steadily at 29s to 30s per qr., at which, however, little business has been done. Oats and Oatmeal, upon a very limited demand, barely support our last quotations. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, January 24. In consequence of contrary winds, the arrival of vessels coast wise, or from the Isle of Man, since the 20th instant, is inconsider able. Influenced by this cause, and the present hard frost, the demand for Potatoes overboard vessels, by our retail town trade, has been very brisk, accompanied with an increased vend for re shipment into the interior, the stocks now in port is rapidly dimi nishing, and the best descriptions command Id. per 901 h. advance over my last quotations. Manx, Scotch, and Irish Cups 2s 2d to 2s 3d ; round, rough, and flat reds 2s 3d to 2s 8d; Seedlings 2s 6d to 2s pd per go lb. There is one cargo of Sweed Turnips is to hand this day, being the first reported this season, which appear good lsound quality, and selling for 28s per ton. The north and south markets is well supplied with our local farm produce, for which there is a good demand. Potatoes, gait Pink-eye... Cups. Short rr WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JAN. 21 For this day's market we had a good supply of grain, in addition to which a good many samples were offering from the vessels near at hand. - Superior samples of old and new Wheat nearly supported last week's rates, but inferior sorts difficult to quit. even at a re duction of full Is per quarter. Barley unaltered in value. Oats and Beans met a very slow sale, and could only be disposed of in retail quantities by submitting to a reduction of id per stone on the former, and is per quarter on the latter. Shelling firm, but without any amendment in value. MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, JAN. 22 The inquiry for Flour and Oatmeal throughout the week has been confined to a limited demand from the bakers and dealers for immediate consumption, and which, from the exhausted state of their stocks, has caused rather more animation in the trade; and, although no improvement in prices can be noted, the -previously nominal currency was realized. At our market this morning there was very little passing, and we repeat the quotations of this day se'nnight for each article. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 21 There were several runs of English Wheat left over from Mon day, and our currency of that day was with diffeulty maintained. In foreign there was a very limited business transacted, and the same prices are demanded. We did not here of any sale of bonded. Fine Barley was in better demand ; other descriptions sell slowly. White Peas improve in value; in maple and grey there is no alte ration, neither is there any improvement in the price of Beans. The Oat trade is flat at Monday's quotations. Arrivals this week.—English, Wheat, 1240 qrs. ; Barley, 3490 qrs.; Oats 2760 qrs. ; Flour, 2510 sack. Irish, Oats, 4950 qrs. Foreign, Wheat, 2400 qrs. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

P. are 350 lihds., at very full prices. 2000 bags Bengal have also been taken at the quotations. In Foreign, 120 cases and 59 barrels of brown and white Pernam buco, just imported, have been taken by the Refiners at the quota. tions. No sales have taken place in Molasses. Coffee.—There is an improvement in the demand for Plantation of all qualities, ex cepting the finer descriptions, with which the trade are at present tolerably supplied ; the sales have been very moderate, holders having offered sparingly. 3eo bags Ceylon were sold at 738 to 745, and 40 bales Mocha at Bgs to 90s per cwt. Nothing done in Foreign. 50 bags Foreign Cocoa brought 348 per cwt., and 450 bags black Pepper aid to aid per lb. No sales of Pimento or Ginger. 20 tces.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 24 The downward tendency of our market last week has for the last day or two received a slight check, and holders are now very firm at Friday's prices, refusing any further concession to the buyer, and rather than submit, are taking their stocks off the market. The sales on Saturday are only 1000 bales, and today 4000 bales. The bulk of the Cotton on the market is of the new crop, and is of a very inferior quality, and anything but ominous of a very large crop, unless low prices are making the grower negligent in getting it for the market. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT The trade continue to abstain from buying more than they im mediately require, and the market has been dull all week. Prices of American generally have given way id, and the middling qualities of the new crop in many instances id per lb ; Brazil and Egyptian are without change, but Surat is id per lb lower. The large rates of East India in London yesterday went off well, 20,000 having been sold at prices on a par with the previous currency. Speculators have taken 500 American, and Exporters 700 American and 300 Surat. 1500 La Guayra are advertised for auction on Friday next.
