Pottrp. MY CHILDREN, WEEP NOT (For the Liverpool Standard.) My children, weep not that the hand which led Your childhood's steps is nerveless now and cold; That the fond eyes which watched around your bed The darkness of the grave doth now enfold ! What though the heart which loved you beats no more What though the lips are silent which did bless, And the foul grave-worm travels o'er and o'er The wasting clay which living ye did press ! Earth holds not all ye loved ! The chilly tomb The broken shell encompasseth alone. The deathless spirit, bursting through its gloom, To light and glory measureless has flown ! The wasted wreck ye grieve for, now doth wear A shape of beauty to the angels given, And breathes, with holy things, the blessed air Which circles through the star-paved courts of heaven ! Oh! weep not, then, that this frail robe of earth My spirit hath put off and sought the skies ; Or that a second and immortal birth Hath cleansed and borne me from your longing eyes ! Ye see me not beside you ; yet my love Doth watch around your steps—loth guard your sleep ; And, 'mid your dreams, an angel from above Doth mingle now ! Oh! why, then, will ye weep ? Sept. 9th, 1842, G. B. J WHEN MORNING IS BREAKING BY THOS. BLAKE, ESQ . When morning is breaking, In beauty awaking From slumber as tranquil as infancy's rest ; When blithe birds are singing, And merry bells ringing, And hill, plain, and valley in sunlight are drest ; Fresh garlands I'll bring thee, • My love I will sing thee, A love that can never know change or decay ; When life is retreating, And this heart stops heating, It then, and then only, can wither away. Or when the world 'a sleeping, And night-stars are peeping, And nature reposes beneath the moon's light ; Then echo repeating The joy of our meeting, Shall carry the sound through the silence of night ; And garlands bring thee, &c. LITERARY NOTICES. The Policeman. No. 10 The object of this work is evidently to shew up the private doings of the police force. It is evidently written to attract the attention of the humble class of readers, whose tastes and turn of thought it appears qualified to suit. Would the author only take a loftier ground, the spirited description of a race between two locomotive engines, in the present num ber, proves that he is equal to sustain it. It is really a unique piece of extravagance, and shews great powers of de scription and—imagination, as well; for who ever witnessed a spectacle of so horrific a character? When such a race is run, we can only say, with the author of John Gilpin's race, " May we be there to see ! " Punch Punch has several very capital jeux d' esprit this month, both graphic and literary. This publication has completely taken the lead for wit, jest, and merriment ; and the only surprising thing is, that it maintains so cleverly its ground. Its new jokes are many of them capital, while its old Joes are so decked out and dressed up in so novel a suit, that they have all the smartness of novelty. H. Ainsworth linsworth's Magazine. Edited by W. Cunningham, London; Webb, Liverpool The ability with which "The Miser's Daughter" is con tinued, shows the editor's facility of composition and in dustry. The illustrations of the story by George Cruikshank, throw those of Tony Johannot, in the tale of " Windsor Castle," this month, completely in the shade. The editor doles out this latter story too sparingly; such short portions are hardly worth perusal. Miss Pardoe gives us an inte resting account of a visit to the institution of Les Enfans Trouves, in Paris. Mr. Downe's story of " The Wrecker's Revenge" is a sad recital. The article entitled " Enough is as ,Good as a Feast," is pleasantly written ; as is also the next paper, " The Solitary Joker," which gives us an ac count of a man who was wont to play practical jokes by him f, without waiting to see, or caring to learn, the upshot of The Hon. Julia Maynard contributes an his plaiBanterie elegant sonnet on " Consumption." Attention is next at tracted-by an article entitled, " Mozart, his Era, Friends, and Contemporaries ;" this will be read with mach interest, especially by the musical amateur. The paper by Leman Blanchard, describing " The man who will read to you," is very happy; we can sympathise in this case—such a man is the very quintessence of bores. A description of a " Descent into Eldon Hole, in the Peak of Derbyshire," is given with much ability by Mr. W. Francis Ainsworth. " The Walls of Famagusta" is a narrative having date during the seige of Cyprus. This number is a very good one. We extract the following, on 'CONSTANCY. BY THE HONOURABLE 'MRS. NORTON When in Love's bewild'ring hour, First I saw thy gentle face Smiling in thy garden bower With such timid, blushing grace; While the sunset rays declining Lent thy cheek a softer glow, With a glorious halo shining Round thy pure angelic brow — Then, oh then, I sigh'd to be Master of thy heart and thee ! Since that time, each hour which stealeth From our happy lives away, Some new gentle charm revealeth, And I bless thee day by day ! Yea, thy voice MORE sweetly soundeth To my fond accustom'd ear, And my heart more gladly boundeth When thy footstep draweth near, Than when first I sigh'd to be Master of thy fate and thee ! RAILWAY MEETINGS LAST WEEK The business of the Dublin and Drogheda company was the reception of the half-yearly accouuts and the declaration of the forfeiture of certain shares upon which calls have been neglected to be paid. The works, according to the directors' report, are proceeding satisfactorily, and it appears to be hoped that they will be completed nearly within the esti mates of the engineer —a rare occurrence with such under dertakings now-a-days. A prominent fact in corroboration of this was, that whereas the engineer's estimate for iron was £l2 per ton, a contract for supply had been made at £7 per ton. The receipts for the half-year were stated at £39,276, and the expenditure at £33,874 9s. Bd. The Manchester and Birmingham Company propose a junction with the Manchester and Leeds, which was the point of discussion raised at the meeting of last week. The pro prietors complain of some apathy shown on the part of the directors in bringing this business to a successful issue, and hence a desire was intimated by the board to have a com mittee appointed to take into consideration the general sub ject, in order that no delay might be occasioned in effecting so desirable a conclusion. The total required on the works of the company is estimated at £1,890,000, which sum will include about £50,000 already expended on that portion of the Manchester station to be occupied by the Sheffield Com pany. As about £1,763,000 is the amount at present ab sorbed, £126,000 further capital is required. The Glasgow, Paisley, and Kilmarnock Railway have de clared a dividend of 17s. 6d, per share, besides establishing a depreciation fund, and carrying over a surplus to the balance of undivided profits. The directors recommend economy, and have, as an example, reduced their own allowance, in consequence of a proportionate decrease in their staff. The traffic of the line, like that of other railways in the country, has suffered from the prostration of trade. . . . The secretary of the Hull and Selby Railway wishes it to be understood that the resolution adopted at their half-yearly meeting for the raising of £250,000, to pay off the debts of the company, and leave a sufficient surplus for the efficient working of the concern, includes the £183,000 already bor rowed, so th at th e amoun t n ow required to be raised is to be apropriated to the payment of £48,000 now owing for land and for bank advances. leaving £19,000 available for providing the accommodation which a constantly increasing traffic he says requires. We arc given to understand that the shareholders in the West Lond on R ailway are coming forward pretty generally t o take UP the n ew s h ares propose d to b e i ssue d , wh i c h are to carry a preference dividend of £1 per share, instead of only 1 per cent.

DURII,I26I.—In the northern and southern parts of this county the crops are nearly all secured, in excellent condition ; and though some are standing in the neighbourhood of Dur ham, and up westward, the fault is not attributable to the weather, but to the farmers themselves, the crops having been ready for the sickle for a fortnight. The weather up to Friday continued highly favorable, but considerable rain fell during the whole of that day, anti though it ceased during the night the sky ell Saturday was dull and lowering. There was, however, agentle breeze, which will prevent the . c o rn receiving any injury.

Not bad that.—New York Herald. Some light is beginning to break on the conduct of the native troops in the disastrous march from Cabul, and though it compromises to some extent their fidelity, yet it must be recollected that they should not have been put to a trial which few troops so situated would have come out of untarnished. On the march the desertions were numerous, but eonfined chiefly to the mercenaries engaged for Schah Soojah. The Envoy's mounted escort deserted to a man, as did all Alexander's Rissalah, and a large number of Ander son's horse. Of the sth regular cavalry several deserted, in duced thereto by the native doctor of the regiment, whose loyalty gave way amid the sufferings he was exposed to. A number of these deserters are, it is said, in the service of Akhbar Khan and other chiefs, from whom, however, the first shadow of defeat will detach them. From this and other circumstances the loss on the march from Cabul must have been considerably overrated, and it will, we trust, even tually turn out to be a third less than at first imagined. THE MURDER AT QUADRING ADDITIONAL PAP.TICULARS. (From the Stamford Mercury.) The bloody shirt of the murderer was produced on Wed nesday by his mother, and the other circumstances which transpired before the adjourned inque s t yesterday l e d th e jurors to return a verdict of " wilful murder against 'William Howitt." The wretched being's motive for the murder has not been clearly ascertained. A letter from one of our correspondents contains some additional particulars, as follows :—The young man who is committed for the horrid murder has from his birth been deprived of the power of speaking and hearing, but has been long dreaded on account of his malicious disposition. The day after the murder he was at work in a field close by the house in which the mangled corpse lay, a mere wreck of what it was only a few hours before, and he was observed by by-standers satisfying his hunger before the door, (which was wide open,) and while gazing on the lifeless remains of his victim. William Howitt was at large until Friday evening, when he was apprehended ; he had gone to rest for the night. The box which contained his wearing apparel was examined, and some of it, to all appearance, had been soaked in blood, and afterwards washed, but not dried. With them was found a knife, upon which blood remained, although it had evidently been thrust in the ground. Howitt was at once taken by the constable at Donington to residence, where he remained that night. On the following morning the coroner's iaquest was held on the body. The evidence was of so convincing a nature that there is not a shadow of doubt the prisoner was the murderer. James Howitt, the father, being questioned with regard to the time his son was at home on the night of the deed, deposed that William was at home in the afternoon about four o'clock, took his tea, and about seven o'clock went down the village. He was absent until some time in the night, the exact time the father could not say, be having been asleep. In the course of the night he heard the prisoner go down stairs, he supposed to drink. The mother was then called; her statement was similar to that of the father. Zachariah Dawson, a gardener of Quadring, was then brought forward : he had been the last person seen in com pany with the prisoner : they separated. Dawson declared, between 9 and 10 o'clock he was going home, and the pri soner either going another way, or staying near the public house in which they had been drinking together, Lad which was near the place where the bloody deed was committed. It being known that the prisoner had certain signs or move ments by which he communicated with those who was inti mately connected with, his father was desired to act as an interpreter ; but the answers given by him to the questions proposed led the jury to suppose they were not in accordance with those of the son; and it was on this account that an ad journment of the inquiry before the coroner took place, that an indifferent person might be found who was capable of in terpreting satisfactorily. At this time also the shirt of the prisoner, in which the foul murder was committed, was missing it was subse quently found under the bed in which he lay, and strong stains of blood are on it, notwithstanding great efforts I seemed to have been made to wash them out. There is little doubt, flow the state in which the night-dress of the poor murdered woman was found, (over her head,) and her body being quite exposed, that a lustful purpose had been enter tained by the murderer, in resisting which she lost her life, the cruel tiger by whom she had been assailed cutting and mangling her neck and shoulders with various deep and dreadful gashes, in a way the most extraordinary. One wound extends from the upper part of the breastbone to an inch behind and above the right ear, being 9 inches in length, and completely dividing the integuments and muscles ; the scalp is cut to the bone, the right carotid artery is severed, as well as the internal and external jugular veins, and there are two gashes across the windpipe ; the hands are also cut to the bones ; and such a sight as the remains of the poor creature present has scarcely ever before met the eyes of humanity. ORIGIN OF THE WORD " NEWS."—" News " is not, as many imagine, derived from the adjective New. In former times it was a prevalent practice to put over the N periodical publications of the day the initial let ters of the cardinal points of the compass, thus : E---W importing that these pap ers con tained intelligence from the four quarters of the globe ; and from this practice it derived the term newspaper. It is an old axiom, but very true, " when a nation abounds in physicians it grows thin of people." We imagine this may apply equally to surgeons, and to general practitioners. A wiser head than mine once compared the medical public, and not inaptly. to the British army in Caesar's time; for some slay in chariots, and some on foot, some in cabs, some in "busses;" if the infantry do less execution than the charioteers, it is because they cannot be carried so soon into all parts of the town, and despatch so much business in so short a time. Besides this body of regular troops, there are stragglers, who, without being duly enlisted or enrolled, do infinite mischief to those who are unlucky enough to fall into their hands. There are besides the above mentioned, innumerable retainers of physic, who, for want of other patients, amuse themselves with the stifling of cats in an air pump, cutting up dogs alive, pithing frogs, or impailing of insects upon the point of a needle for microscopical observa tions : besides those that are employed in the gathering and collecting of weeds/ and the chase of butterflies ; not to mention the cockleshell merchants and spider catchers. All these different branches of the medical profession are filled with multitudes of ingenious gentlemen that starve one ano ther. The question involuntarily rises in my mind,—` What can become of us all ? " for our numbers are assuredly swelling, and if the amount of population be in the same ratio diminishing, we can only ask th e ques ti on , an d, like Brutus in his speech to the people, "Pause for a_reply." MEDICAL STUDENT SCENE IN A GERMAN GAMING-ROUSE.—When we arose and crossed the saloon to the right side, we were introduced to a scene of horror, one feature of which I had never wit nessed before, either at home or abroad, and one feature of which I desire not to witness again. But lam glad I have seen it once, where and where alone it is to be seen in all its satanic reality, more than in any part of Europe perhaps. It was a suite of gambling-rooms, with roulette and rouge et-noir tables, where balls were rolling round, and heaps of untold gold were glittering, and the lips not only of men but of women were quivering, some in the intenseness of their anxiety, and others in the agony of despair. Here was sel fishness, and avarice, and villainy, all personified in a thou sand fiends and faces. Here desperate adventurers were staking their last ducat with calm and collected countenances, in which there was just a perceptible agitation of the muscles, indicative of the hateful passions which were boiling within. In each of these side dens a single lamp with a circular re flector hung over a table which was covered with a green cloth. On the one side of this table there sat, " in shape a beast," Beelzebub himself, with a heap of money before him, around ball in one hand, and a small metal drag in the other. Like others of the wicked, there was no rest for his hand, taking and giving out money, and in keeping the untiring ball and wheel in constant motion. Around him there were gamesters of all ages and of both sexes, bending with horrid features of anxiety over the square pieces of wax cloth, which were chequered and numbered, and covered with many a gold and silver coin, all of which were changing hands every half minute. The dull, dim, but steady light shone dismally down on their dark, determined faces. All was silence, still as the grave, but the monotonous call of the coupier, and the rattling click-click of :the ball rolling and stotting round its rim of ruin. 'We were walking along silently in a slow and solemn pace, when a person who had come up the Rhine with us pressed himself through the crowd with shame and con fusion of face. One word, and a point with his forefinger to the gambling table explained the cause. There stood his fellow traveller at one of the tables, cool and calculating as Prince Metternich himself. A momentary flush had just crossed his features, and twelve sovereigns were in the act of being drawn from under his hand in a very common-place sort of way, to the general treasure on the other side of the table. In another moment fifteen were put down by him on different corners of the oil-cloth. As if to prevent him from .zig over the falls of the Rhine at Schauffhausen, all of us the table made a simultaneous rush round the table to the place where he stood, firm from toe to top, and while he was in the act of brought him to . h . drawing in his • from prize, we literally lifted him up and took him and convicted of the A word or two of kindly remonstrance is recollection, and to a sense of the danger he was in of losing danger of being in the every farthing he had. Thus humbled with such objects of uwttaerrofdtemptation, depravity, and convinced of the dreadful away from the whole iniquity, and utterly disgusted etestation, we all came at once to my bed-room without even and my friend led me home n t giving me a knowledge of the fact, that a public ball was the Sunday with music and dancing at ten o'clock, that is of o though tinday evening. "When y very long Y l7 I got into the fresh, cool air, paricnlefirly disposed to was fully sensible I I ,, ought to have ' had not spent my Sunday evening exacltl more ek Heaven, still taught to says Francis Head,do p n e e a , t ..... y , e a, t si , i tinnh England t n h nk e i c a o nn u de r v s ewe never are, r i felta, ember that thou keep holy the Sabbath bed o n day." what re I For had do—rein own part I reflected for an hour in my seep, and so far as may be judged from the feelings of a heart which is well said to be deceitful above all things, it may be believed that I fell asleep with sentiments more pious and grateful than those with which I awoke in the haste and anxiety of the previous morning. One other fact in regard to the incidents of .this day. The Englishman afterwards told me, that he had been a gainer to the amount of seventy five sovereigns. , 4 Aye," said I, " but remember that the wages of sin is deatb."—,Eight weeks in Germany. THE BRITISH MUSEUM..—Circulars have just been issued from the British Museum to all the publishers in the king dom, calling their attention to the new Copyright Act, sth and 6th Victoria, cap. 48, by which it is directed, under certain penalties, that a copy of every book, pamphlet, sheet of letterpress, sheet of music, map, chart, or plan, published within her Majesty's dominions, shall be delivered, on its publication, at the British Museum. The provisions of the said act to be enfo:ced in every case in which any of the above-named species of publication shall not be delivered as the act directs. RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—The following calculation of the last weekly returns of 39 railways, 1,370 miles in length, will be of interest :—Number of passengers on 24 railways, 299,400 ; consequently the total for the week must be about 500,000. The receipts for passengers on 38 railways, £72,695 12s. ld. ; ditto for goods on thirty-three railways, £17,893 12s. 9d. ; total £90,580 4s. 10d. This is an average of £G6 per mile per week. The traffic, therefore, is certainly at the rate of about £4,000,000 a year, and carrying 15,000,000 of passengers.—Railway Magazine. ATTACK BY Wases.—As Mr. Wenham, landlord of the Star Inn, Matfield-green, was lately passing through Par rock-wook, in the parish of Brenchley, he was attacked by a swarm of wasps. Mr. Wenliem, in endeavouring to defend himself, took off his hat to beat them off; hut the swarm in creasing, he was completely surrounded by hundreds of them, and most dreadfully stung about the head and face. Fortunately he was near a house, into which he fled for pro tection, and, with the kind assistance of the good woman, he got relieved of his tormentors. Mr. Wenham had rec;ived so much injury that it was with difficulty he reached home, and still severely suffers from the effects of his alarming encounter.—Sussex paper. CHINESE BABARITY.—An unfortunate seaman of the Cornwallis recently wandered into the hands of a party of Chinese villagers, who immediately cut off his knee-pans, made an incision round each wrist, and stripped the skin off the muscles, up to the elbows, and down off each hand to the finger ends, leaving it dangling. In this condition the poor fellow was abandoned. On his being found, the village was destroyed by the boats of the ship. The man is alive, and slowly recovering.—Hampshire Telegraph. A WHALE.—As the Lynn steamer was on its voyage from this port, on Saturday last, about fifteen miles from the for mer place, a boat was descried going at a very quick rate with something in tow, which turned out to be a whale. When first observed, in two feet water, the man thought it was dead, and fastened accordingly a rope to its tail—a ha zard which he would not have attempted if he had been aware that it was alive. He ultimately succeeded, by the help of two other men, in his capture the unwieidly animal being left by the tide on the bank. It admeasured 47 feet long 19 feet idgirth. The mouth was 9 feet long and the tail 10 feet deep, and it is supposed that it would weigh 18 tons.— Hull Rockingham. THE FIRE AT HANIBURGH.—The committee appointed to receive subscriptions for the relief of sufferers from the fire at Hamburgh have just published their report, by which it appears that the whole sum which has passed through their hands is £27,567 19s. 7d., besides contributions made in different parts of the country, amounting to about £13,000, exclusive of clothing and other articles, and that the total amount received by the committee at Hamburgh from all countries, up to the sth of July, is .E 268,890. Great as these subscriptions are, the committee remark, while expressing their gratitude, that but little assistance has as yet been afforded in comparison with the damage done. IMPORTATION OF CATTLE UNDER THE NEW TARIFF.— One of the most stirring incidents of the month has been the introduction, by the new tariff, of live stock into this country, from Holland. There are annually held, in parts of of f these, in airs, which bulls ofowerth only are anl6oooft sold; hoso am a m n a d ls at one were offered, in the neighbourhood of Bremen, one of our specu lators purchased nearly fifty of them, all of which were in very poor condition, at £3 10 s . ea ch, while they were dis posed of in Smithfield with difficulty at £7 each. Latterly, the receipts of beasts, not only in London, but also at Hull and other ports, have exhibited a great falling off ; indeed, they have been scarcely worth the necessary expenses of freight, &c., leaving wholly out of the question prime cost. The numbers of stock imported for the metropolis during the month have comprised ne ar l y 320 , consisting of bulls, oxen, cows in calf, and store s . A n d now the item of profit presentsitself to our notice. From all that we have been able to gather, we should say that a positive loss of quite £1 per head has been sustained by the shippers of stock to this country ; still, however, it appears they are determined to prosecute their enterprise. Let us take, as an example, the fifty bulls above mentioned, which, by the way, were scarcely fit for consumption, and we shall find that their owners suf fered in pocket severely by them, since the account in rela tion to them stands thus,—Prime cost, per head, £3 10s. ; freight and other expenses to London, £3 ss. ; duty, £1; expenses here, 17s. ; total, £8 12s. From the above it will at once be seen that a loss was sustained of one pound twelve shillings each. The result of our inquiries is, that large im ports may be expected from Germany and Holland, where, it appears, there is a superabundance of lean stock ; but from France little or nothing is looked forward to. A gre at deal has bee n sa id respec ti ng the superior quality of the fo reign supplies ; but we beg to observe that, having ourselves tasted some of the Dutch beef, we never saw anything worse of the kind brought to table.—Farmer's Magazine. AN AWKWARD CIRCUMSTANCE—In consequence of the quantity of base coin circulated at Bristol, the magistrates gave orders to the police to be very strict in the apprehen sion of persons guilty of so serious an offence. In the dis charge of this duty a painful occurrence took place on Wed nesday. Mrs. Gregory, the wife of Mr. Gregory, solicitor, went into the High-street Market, and having purchased some fruit, tendered a sixpence in payment. When the coin was in the woman's hand she observed that it bore an unusu al appearance, and Mrs. Gregory was about to give her another when she was astonished to find that all the silver in her purse had the same appearance. Upon this a policeman, not in uniform, took her by the arm, put the money in his pocket, and said " come with me." Mrs. Gregory, in a terrified and fainting state, was taken to the station-house, although an explanation as to who she was had been given, the rules of the police requiring that a person once in custody must not be liberated before being conveyed to the station. On arriving there, the singular fact was ascertained that the colour had been changed by mercury. which had escaped from a thermometer which Mrs. Gregory had in her pocket, and she was then discharged. In consequence of this occurrence, her husband preferred a complaint against the police for " excess of duty," which he was fully authorised to do by the act of parliament. The magistrates, however, thought that, under all the circumstances the police had only done what was proper, and the complainant was dismissed. Mrs. Gregory has ever since been confined to her bed by illness. An amusing scene was witnessed, on Tuesday, before the Tribunal of Correctional Police. A strong, healthy-looking fellow, named Chamblant, had been arrested as a vagabond, and, having been brought before the court last week, de clared that he had a wife who, although separated from him, would, if applied to, engage to provide him with a home. The case was adjourned to allow for the appearance of the wife, who yesterday attended, and the following con versation took place :—President.—You come to claim your husband ?—Wife.—Not I, indeed. I should like to see him in prison for the rest of his life. I must tell you Sir, that many years ago we were servants together in the family in which lam still cook. lie spent his wages and my own, and beat me into the bargain. One fine day he disappeared, and went to live with another woman, and I had hoped that I should never again behold his face. President.—But he has told us that when he quitted you he made a division of the property which belonged to you in common as man and wife. Wife.—Did he? He carried off all the furniture, and all my effects, and left me with our three children—if that is what he calls a division of property. The prisoner here ex claimed, "Anastasia, you enjoyed my esteem, but you have forfeited it from this day !" The tribunal sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and five years surveillance of the police. BONFIRE ON THE Tor OF BEN NEVlS.—Although the loyal inhabitants of Fort William and its neighbourhood could not vie with those of many other parts of Scotland in the extent and variety of their rejoicings, yet they resolved to outstrip every other community in the loftiness of the pile they should raise to welcome Queen Victoria's first visit to this her ancient kingdom. Accordingly, actuated by a keen spirit of loyalty, activity, and perseverance, tar-barrels and other materials were, with much difficulty and danger, con veyed to the top of " Old Ben," the highest mountain in her Majesty's dominions; and a bonfire there lighted up, which, had the weather been propitious, might have slanted down a cheering ray of recognition and welcome on Ben rnachdhu, Ben Lomond, the Ochils, or even Arthur's Seat, and the castle of " Auld Reekie." While the bonfire blazed on the mountain, a royal salute was fired from the old castle of Inverlochy (now the property of the Hon. R. C. Scarlett), around whose ancient walls an immense concourse of people assembled to witness the rejoicings, and dedicate a bumper of the real mountain dew (from the Ben Nevis distil lery, the most famed for its whisky in the three kingdoms) to the health, long life, and happiness of our young Queen, and a hearty welcome to her and Prince Albert on the shores of old Scotia. Apart from the cause of our rejoicings, the associations connected with the spot—the old castle, where treaties are said, once on a time, to have been signed betwixt 3 , kings of Scotland, with thebattle-field Charlemagne of raneeand betwixt m the on a Montrose reosrle and Argyll immediately under its walls — the noble river and the w ild gran d eur o f t h e an d gave no ordi nary character to the pro ceedings of this eventful day.

It is no hoax, I can assure you." EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—THE QUEEN'S VlSlT.—Perhaps not the least remarkable effect of Her Ma jesty's visit to the metropolis was the extraordinary run of passengers upon the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. The receipts, so far as can be estimated in the meantime, quad rupled those of the week previous, and the number of pas sengers was, consequently, great in proportion. The amount of money drawn was about £6,500 ; this, contrasted with the week previous, gives a rise of £4,882, the sum drawn that week for passengers being only £1,618 2s. 6d. The passen gers for the same week (we mean the week ending the 27th of August) amounted to 12,345. For the week just passed they may therefore be set down at not less than 50,000. Add to these the number who came and went by other conveyances, and it is not improper, we think, to say that upwards of 100,000 per Sons from Glasgow and neighbourhood went to Edinburgh upon this eventfnl occasion. The officials of the railway at both deptits describe the numbers who travelled with them as unprecedented on this line.— Glasgow Chronicle. EXPEDITIOUS TANNING. —We have received specimens of sole leather (which remain at our office for the inspection of those who may feel an interest in the subject,) tanned by one of Mr. Cox's patent processes, in the unprecedentedly short space of from twelve hours to eight days. The quality of the leather seems excellent, being completely tanned, and of good colour and texture ; and one of the specimens is of the extraordinary thickness of 6-10ths of an inch. Under the old system of tanning, we believe, it would require from ten to twenty months to tan an equal substance of leather to that we have before us. We understand that Messrs. J. and G. Cox are fitting up at their tanyard at Georgie Mills to tan upon the patent system, by which they will save much time, labour, and expense in the manufacture ; and, in a few days, those who are sceptical of the success of the process will have an opportunity of being -convinced by ocular demonstration. The principle of the process depends upon a peculiar but simple and effective method of causing tan-liquor to percolate through the pores of the hides, thereby bringing the liquor quickly and changingly into contract with every fibre, and promoting the chemical combination of the .elatine with the tanning.--Scotsman. On Friday se'nnight a brutal and murderous outrage was inflicted at Houghton,.near Stockbridge, on the person of a beautiful young woman, named Elizabeth Roe, by a middle aged man, named James Sims, caused by her refusal to become his wife. It appeared that he waited for an opportu nity, and met her in the high-road, and, after having made some slight attempts to stop ber, she smilingly said, " Sims, let me pass," when be struck her a heavy blow with a large chisel on the back part of her head, which levelled her to the ground ; he then fell on her, and inflicted several dangerous wounds on.her head and face. After leaving her, as he sup posed dead, he repaired to the river side for the purpose of putting an end to his miserable existence, but failed in the attempt, and was immediately taken into custody, and is committed for trial at our next assizes. He expressed his regret that his victim was not dead. saying, " if she was, be should go to the gallows happy." The unfortunate woman. is lying in a dangerous state, and, should she recover, will be disfigured for life.—Devizes paper. - I BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY. The Bankruptcy Amendment Act will come into operation on the' 11th of November, and the Insolvent Debtors' Bill ten days pre viously. It is expected that these measures will diminish the business in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, and are viewed as gigantic steps towards theabolition of imprisonment for debt. By the Bankruptcy Bill single creditors to the amount of £5O can issue a fiat, and that denomination of traders are considerably increased, added to which the other proceedings are very much simplified. The certificate of conformity is continued, but will be withheld from persons who have been guilty of any fraudulent conduct, or who have gambled or speculated in stock-jobbing. Under the, other act parties who have resided 12 months in a place can give notice and be protected from arrest. Every publicity must be given by advertisements, and a t least a month's notice, before the Court of Bankruptcy can entertain the application. It must be proved that the applicant has not contracted his debts in a culpable or fraudulent manner ; and, further, that he had every reasonable assurance of paying them. He must like wise, state what proposal he has to make towards their liquida tion. Subsequently-acquired property is liable until the whole debts are paid, and there is no limitation respecting excepted property. It will be of course, in the power of the Court of Bankruptcy to refuse the benefit of the act where its conditions are not complied with, and to dismiss a peti tion after it has been filed, on evidence that the party lies offended in the manner mentioned. By the act constituting the Insolvent Debtors' Court every petitioner is allowed to retain £2O worth of excepted articles, and can immediately apply to that court, and those who can obtain bail may be discharged in less than a fortnight. Besides, traders or non traders can apply ; but under Lord Brougham's bill, persons who are not traders can petition, and only traders whose debts do not exceed £3OO. It is observable that the distinc tion respecting future property'in bankruptcy and insolvency is still perpetuated, giving a bankrupt freedom in regard to his subsequent property on obtaining a certificate, whilst under insolvency the opposite principle is enforced.

The only change in colonial duties is an advance to ls. per quarter on Rye and Pease. Since our report of Tuesday last the fresh arrivals of Wheat from abroad consist of 6697 quarters, but with Flour, during the same time, we have been very scantily supplied, a few hundred barrels of Canadian comprising the only import of the past three days ; those of other articles are also quite insignificant, and though a week or two hence we may expect to receive an increase of new Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal from Ireland, produce from that quarter is so far coming forward very tardily, and in limited parcels, which are taken by the dealers, at pretty full prices, as they arrive. There has been a fair disposition to purchase Wheats since Tuesday, at the rates then quoted ; the disinclination of im porters, however, to meet the demand has prevented the occurrence of business of any moment; we have also had a good inquiry for Flour, but this article, for some weeks past, having gone freely into consumption, fresh parcels are now difficult to be met with. In consequence of the millers having purchased rather considerably of late, we had a slender attendance of buyers this morning; and in the absence of any speculative inquiry, foreign Wheat of all descriptions moved off sparingly, at the current rates of Tuesday, the market concluding somewhat less buoyant than it commenced. Of new Wheat from the neighbouring farmers, a few samples appeared, the quality of some very fine, others in soft condition, and may be quoted, Bs. to Bs. 6d. for White, and Red, 7s. 6d. to Bs. per 70 lbs. ; the value of Irish at the same time remaining stationary. States and Canadian Flour, upon a moderate demand, fully supported late prices ; and a little good Irish, new, realised 40s. per 2801bs. Having no new Malting Barley at hand, no certain price is yet established; meanwhile grinding samples remain dull of sale on the terms last noted. Malt and Pease, exciting little attention, barely maintained their former value. Beans, although not readily disposed of, were the turn dearer. Oats, even upon a very limited supply, were in slow re quest at former prices ; and Oatmeal, being difficult to sell, was rather depressed in value. LIVERPOOL PRICES CURRENT. ASHES (MADDER, * /Wt.

Men, women, and children were huddled all into the same room, many of the men woune ed, ill, and frost-bitten, and some of the females close child-birth. Almost every menial office was obliged to b. performed by themselves, and they had but the grcu►:d and their scanty clothes to rest upon; subsequently a few comforts were obtained, such as a plank upon a couple of old kajawahs, serving for " bed and board," couch, and table, all in one. General Elphinstone is also described as being in a state of great bodily and mental anguish. It is with the greatest anxiety we look for further particulars of the fates of the un fortunates. THE MARCH FROM CABUL.—(From the Agra Ukhbar, May s.)—The report that Akhbar Khan had taken his pri soners with him is, we are glad to say on good authority, unfounded. On his Sight he made them over to the charge of a chief upon whom he could rely, and who afterwards was murdered. The chief into whose power they then fell was, it is said, disposed to treat for their ransom. There is, therefore, a cheering prospect of their being eventually re stored to us. which we confess we despaired of as long as they were in the clutches of Akhbar Khan, whose avarice, keen as it might have been, would have been a weak passion, compared with what be must have felt from his wounds, defeat, and the total ruin of his cause. This relates only to the prisoners at Lughman and the neighbouring forts ; those at Cabul have probably equal chances of safety, if a careful negotiation be set on foot. They are, we understand, more numerous than is supposed ; numbers of Sepoys and camp followers having found their way back from the fatal march to Khoord Cabul. Of these, it is said several were sold to the Usbecs—a report which we had some time ago, and which is so far cor firmed by this revival of it. The expense of supporting any number of this class lends strength to the report. . . _ MISCELLANEOUS s of the works of the nev' xpetted that in two months the firs Prom the forward houses of The freedom of the city of Edinburgh has been conferred on Dwarkanath Tagore, of Calcutta, a wealthy Brahmin, landowner, merchant, and philanthropist.

FEEDING Fl GS.-It may be useful to state, that it is very injurious to feed pigs with any preparation of the water in which potatoes have been boiled.

A species of gourd, known to botanists by the name of cucurbita leucantlia lagenaria, has this year attained au extraordinary size at the Jardin des Plantes. This plant, which assumes the form of a bottle pressed closely in at the neck and swelling out below, is 40 centimetres in diameter, and 60 in height. As it still continues to grow, it is not improbable that it may reach half a metre in diametre, and two-thirds in height. THE POPE AND MR. O'CONNELL.—We some time since announced, upon the authority of our private correspondent, that his Holiness Gregory XVI had sent to the Liberator of Ireland a splendid gold cross and medal, as a testimony of the estimation in which the head of the Catholic Church regards her most distinguished lay subjects in this country. The Univers of Saturday has the following paragraph in reference to this subject :—" Mr. Cullen, the Director of the Irish College in lime, now on his way to Ireland, had been charged to present to Mr. O'Connell those gifts of the Holy Father.—Dublin Freeman's Journal.

She sailed the same tide for New York. INCENDIARY FIRE.—On Thursday night, the Ist instant, the inhabitants of Collyweston, near Stamford, were aroused from their slumbers by the cry of " Fire !" It turned out that an oat-stack belonging to Mr. Thomas Stokes, butcher and farmer, of that place, was in flames. The stack was standing in an inclosure called the Slate-pit Close, near the village, and contained about 30 quarters of oats, the produce of six acres of land. The fire was discovered between ten and eleven o'clock ; and, although every exertion was made to extinguish it, the whole stack was consumed. There is no doubt that it was the work of an incendiary, and a reward of £2O has been offered to any party who may bring the offender to justice. Suspicion attaches to a bad character residing in the village.— , Stamford Mercury. To PRESERVE GREEN PEAS,--TO preserve green peas for the table until Christmas, shell them and put them into boiling water, give them two or three warms only, and pour them into a cullender. When the water is completely drained off, turn them out on a cloth, spread on a dresser to dry them. From this cloth transfer them to another till they are perfectly free from moisture. Then bottle them in wide mouthed bottles, leaving sufficient room to pour clarified mutton suet, one inch thick, on the top; cork them tightly, and rosin the corks, and keep them in a cellar or in the earth. When used, boil them until they are tender with a bit of butter, a spoonful of sugar, and some mint.—Correspondent of the Gardener's Chronicle.

The weather has been unsettled during the week, which may be pre judicial to the condition of the still large quantity of unsecured Oats, Beans, and Barley ; but, as regards Wheat, but little now remains un housed in the agricultural districts. • The trade during the week has been steady, and fair sales of each Lrticle have been made for consumption at the prices of this day week. Tho same description applies to this day's market, and we continue he quotations of our last. We do not alter the arrangement of our list of prices, until a fuller supply of new produce comes forward ; in the mean time we may state that new English red Wheat is worth Rs 3d to Rs 6d ; Irish 7s to 7s lid; Oats 3s to 3s Id ; • Flour 41s to 45 ; Oatmeal 28s to 29s per lead. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, SEPT. 9 We have to report a good arrival of Wheat, but small a other articles thr this day's market, and a fair show of samples from vessels near at hand. There was heavy and continued rain here yesterday for about twelve hours. Wheat, both new and old, Is per quarter dearer; condition of the former not so good as last week. Beans in demand at is per quarter advance. Oats and shellings brought full prices. In other articlei uo alteration. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, SEPT. 12 We disclver an evidently increasing desire on the part of dealers and speculators to invest in Butter; and had a shade under the currency of last week been submitted to, a very large business would have been the result. As it is however, there is a brisk consumptive demand; the finer descriptions, such as Carlow, Kilkenny, Crane, Belfast, &c., realizing 82s to 83s, and good second class Butters 75s to 78s. There seems to be a general opinion that our Autumn trade will be a good one, particularly if the inhabitants of the manufacturing districts con tinue in the legitimately active and peaceable state, which we are happy to annOunce they are at present. We have notary change in barrelled provisions. Bacon, is a shade better, 44s to 46s being about the selling price LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, SEPTEMBER 12, 1842. During the past 'week our local farmers have gathered and brought their crops of potatoes more freely to market, and shown more disposition to sell at present prices than has been the case during the season.

The operatives it is said are slowly resuming work every where except at Stockport COTTON MARKET -WEEKLY REPORT. Tire stock •of Brimstone being now in the hands of one party, small parcels have been sold during thd week at £9 per ton ; the article is off,red for arrival at much lower prices. Nothing worthy of notice has been done in any description of Sumac. Good Oporto Argols are scarce; a small lot sold this week at 31s per cwt. Cream of Tartar is dull of sale and lower in price, and there have been no sales in Brown Tartar. Nothing reported in Madders, Madder Roots, or Quercitron Bark. The advanced prices asked for the common descriptions of Olive Oil, having drawn the attention of buyers to Galipoli, several sales of this description have been made at about the previous rates, being a small cargo to arrive, the price which has not transpired. Fish Oils.—Considerable improvement has taken place in Seal Oil, £3 9 Ws to £4O having been paid for small parcels of. pale, at which holders are now very firm, and the stock is in few hands; Cod is not very saleable at £34, which is now demanded. A little more inquiry has appeared for Seed Oils, and for Linseed higher prices have been paid, although no transactions of moment have taken place. Oil of Turpentine is stationary at 30s per cwt. Palm Oil. —A cargo of t',oo tons was put up to public auction on Tuesday last, and the whole sold pretty readily to the Soaptrade at £2B Lss to £29, besides which nearly :00 tons have been sold privately at about similar rates. 260 tons Petersburg clean Hemp are reported at £32, and a trifling lot of Manilla at £24 per ton. The Tallow market may be considered rather firmer; 49s is now the lowest rate for new Petersburg yellow Caudle, and by some holders that price is refused; the demand is very brisk, but the accounts from Lon don have given more confidence to holders ; 200 casks South American are to be offered by auction to-morrow.
