[ward in the streets, and when it is, irdy and stirring tones with which tle the ear of England. sion is made in a letter to the .ere is little else that the reader Mr. O'Connell's epistles have ile to iarkable for anything beyond re ,s, and re-repeats himself, and there the history of his wordy correspondence ends. A paragraph or two, however, from the letter referred to will exhibit his view of the present condition of re- " What is the great mass of Reformers in England and Scotland ? Who are they ? The Whigs—or rather, the Whig-Radical section—are well represented by the editors of the Leeds Mercury. They are indeed torpid Reformers— bit by bit, half-alive, half-dead Reformers. " Let me again ask, Who are the great mass of English and Scotch Reformers? Whdre in Great Britain shall we look—l will not say for members, but—for any sign of life in Reformers, in their counties, towns, and cities? The Re formet sof London are still as a stagnant pool. The Reform ers of Edinburgh awaken only to give a sad exhibition of the paltriness of religious bigotry. The Reformers of Glasgow are torpid as the heavy mud in the Clyde. The Reformers of Liverpool are asleep. Manchester, Bristol, and a hundred other towns may be named ; but if the Reformers of those towns be asked for, there are none to reply. Even Birming ham, all-powerful in Lord Grey's time, is weak as the ditch water in its squalid canals ! " Great mass of Scotch and English Reformers ! My ex cellent Sir, and worthy brethren, where are they to be found ? I stare around me, and find that Toryism is extending itself, and that, in Great Britain, Reform is shrinking." Aye, " there's the rub :"—Toryism is extending and Reform is shrink;ng, and that, too, in the very land whose noblest institutions Mr. O'Connell had but six years since doomed to extinction. The Lords are firm, the Throne is safe, and the Church, save by some moping mischief-makers in her own bosom, still stands unscathed. The rampart raised by Conservative re union not all the efforts of Revolution could destroy; and this though some of her own sons were false, and combined with the enemy whom they ought to have withstood. And shall we not from this take courage and go on ? When friends, or affected friends fall off, is that a time for inaction or dismay ? It is discourag ing, we admit, to witness the defection of men on whom reliance had been placed, but what is the moral which the wise will draw ? Is it to follow their evil example—to desert the duty which they voluntarily undertook—to relinquish the post which they unbid den had assumed,—and, traitors to cause and camp, to turn their arms against the men by whose sides they should have fought ? No ; they will fix their feet more. firmly where they stand, and, prizing principle more than life, will "set their faces like flints" against the temptations by which their compliant companions are supposed to have been seduced. Any success which Mr. O'Connell may obtain, he will obtain only through inertness, or indifference, or unfaithfulness of ours. " The curse, cause ss, will not come ;" and if true to our trust, nothing can defeat us THE CORN LAWS. (From Alison's " Principles of Population EFFECT OF AN ABOLITION OF THE CORN LAWS ON PRICES. The fundamental error of the opponents of the corn laws on'this point is, that they suppose two things to continue which can never co-exist in tAlt same country, or even in the same district of country, viz., permanently reduced prices, and a permanently overflowing supply. Common sense, as well as universal experience, demonstrate that no such result can permanently take place. It may ensue, and often does ensue for a time, but such a state of things never has been, of the co it as clear that the necessary effect of the repeal laws would be a great increase of foreign, and a lution of British agriculture, the question is, state of things afford any guarantee for a con- Exmanent reduction in the price of the neces o the working classes of Great Britain ? No clearer than that such an expectation would her illusory. The impetus given to foreign ould immediately and considerably raise the n grain, while the same causes would in the ion lower that of the British. Polish wheat m twenty-five shillings a quarter to thirty-five ish would fall from fifty-five to forty-five or ould this effect continue when the produce of hire, yielding to the effect of a competition not withstand, was rapidly and progressively It clearly would not. The foreign grower lytheat down the British, and get the monopoly market into his own hands. The moment this to of, things arrived, the competition being Id, prices would gradually rise again ; the ding himself relieved from the competition e, would not be slow in raising his prices. Elbe and the Vistula would wave with iant harvests, while those of the Thames, the Clyde, would in great part be restored s of nature ; but it is by no means clear that f Manchester or Glasgow would eat his bread he had practically come to depend upon rs of Poland instead of those of his own But suppose that, in consequence of the unrestricted ad mission of foregin grain, the price of subsistence is perma nently lowered to the British consumer, will any benefit thence in the end accrue to the working classes of Great Britain ? If, indeed, they could succeed in maintaining their money-wages at the existing level, they would be very great gainers indeed by the change, although the withering effect of the destruction of the agricultural classes would, in the end, come to re-act on this temporary prosperity of the manufac turing classes. But could the manufacturing operatives, or any class of labourers, keep their money wages up at their present level if a permanent reduction in the price of the ne cessaries of life had taken place ? Nothing is clearer than that they could not. The money-rate of wages, wholly in dependent of the price of provisions from year to year, is entirely regulated by it, other things being equal, from ten years to ten years. If, by the free importation of foreign grain, the money-price of it is reduced one-half, the ultimate result will be, that wages will fall one-half also. It is impos %Rile ii. can be otherwise; for even if tire-reduction did not ensue from any other cause, it would inevitably be brought about by the great impulse given to population, and conse quent multiplication of labourers, under the influence of un diminished money-wages and augmented ease of circum stances, and an increased durable fall in the price of the ne cessaries of life. Past history and past experience alike concur in demonstra ting this important fact. In the time of the Norman con quest, the price of wheat was from three shillings and six pence to five shillings per quarter ; but nevertheless, the la bourers had not half the command of the necessaries of life they have now, for the money-wages of labour were a half penny a day during the remainder of the year and a penny in harvest. Provisions are incomparably cheaper in Poland and in Russia than they are in this country ; but are the Po lish or Russian peasants half as comfortably fed, lodged, or clothed, as the corresponding classes in this country ? Every one knows that so far from being so, or obtaining any benefit whatever from the cheap price of provisions in their own country, they are, in truth, the most miserable labourers in Europe, and feed upon scanty meals of rye bread, in the very midst of splendid wheat crops which they raise for the more opulent consumers in this country. In the southern pro vinces of Russia wheat is often only ten shillings a quarter, from the total want of any market. But what is the conse quence ? why, that watr,es are so low, that the Cossack horse man gets only eight shillings and six pence a year of pay from government. Examples of this sort prove how extremely ill-founded is the present opinion, that permanently low prices must necessarily produce comfort to the working classes. HOME AND FOREIGN kRKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. It the manufactures raised for the a half of those which are consumed in the export sale el': home market, Liestion comes to be, even with reference he manufacturing classes themselves—is force on a change which may seriously ...asses whose productive indus - - main-spring from which the wealth is ob these manufactures for the home market Is it prudent to advocate measures which may extend the market for that class of our manufacturers who produce forty-eight millions' worth of goods, by level ling a deadly blow at theinterests of those classes who take off a hundred millions a-year worth of goods? Considered merely as a matter of pounds, shillings, and pence, as a cal culation of profit and loss, it is surely an unwise thing to at tempt to push the lesser market at the expense of the greater —to seek to extend a distant market of half the dimensions, by crippling a nearer one of double. But the case becomes incomparably stronger, and , in fact, altogether invincibl e , w h en it is recollected what i s t h e dif ference between the description of persons who constitute the foreign and compos e the home market. The foreign market is, in great part, co m p ose d o f individuals owing alle e to i ndependent potentates ; and Who either have been, ::/‘ ty of ti t the 1 try constitut, tained, by w i are purchase( it may become, our inveterate euemies. The home market is made up of our own countrymen, brothers, and friends, the bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh—the sinews of the state, by whom its independence is maintained against foreign invasion, and its prosperity seeured against domestic calamity. What will the operatives of Birmingham, Man chester, or Glasgow, gain by doubling the growth of corn in Poland, Prussia, or the Ukraine ? Nothing but this, that they will augment the resources and revenue of the Czar, who wields at his pleasure the whole power both of Russia, Poland, and Prussia, and enable him to pursue, with increased advantages, any designs against the prosperity of this country and the independence of Europe ? What will they gain by crippling the agricultural resources of England, and impoverishing, more or less, five-sixths of its inhabi tants, who now depend, directly or indirectly, upon the two hundred and fifty millions' worth a year of wealth created by its agricultural labourers? What but 'that they will essen tially weaken and depress every branch of the community ; diminish the best and most profitable market for their own industry ; augment the weight of the national and parochial burdens, which, in default of the landed interest, must be borne by themselves, as the producers of its manufacturing wealth; and disable the state from maintaining that contest for its own, and the general independence of Europe, with the Colossus of northern ambition, which every one sees is fast approaching ? In truth, more momentous considerations than even those of national wealth or prosperity depend upon the vital ques tion which is now at issue between the manufacturing and ag icultural classes. The national independence—the national existence—is at stake. It requires little penetration, indeed, to perceive that the general peace which we have so long en joyed is not destined to be of very long endurance ; and that a contest, possibly as serious and protracted as that with Napoleon, awaits us with the power which has already arrayed more than' half of Europe under its influence. Poland, Prussia, the Ukraine, are all provinces of Rus sia—they all equally take the law from the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. Odessa, Dantzic, Memel, and Riga, are alike Russian harbours. Yet iese are precisely the ports from which our supply of grain must inevitably be obtained, if we throw open our ports to foreign com petition. The provinces from which we shall almost ex clusively obtain our food will be those that wait at the beck of the Emperor Nicholas. To the permanent ambition of the Russian Cabinet, the British possessions in India afford an attractive object of desire ; to the jealousy and apprehensions of their despotic government, our free institu tions and unrestrained press are a constant subject of disqui etude. Everything, therefore, both in political combination and national interest, conspires to indicate that the seeds of permanent rival hostility between the British and Muscovite empires have not only been sown, but are already fast spring ing to maturity. And yet it is at the very moment that this fact has become clearly apparent to the inhabitants of both countries, that the infatuated manufacturers of England pro pose to place their necks under the feet of their formidable rival, by placing in his hand the keys of the granary from which they are to be fed. With what joy would the mea sure be hailed in the salons of St. Petersburgh ? How ra pidly would all apprehensions of the British power vanish before the effects of this once suicidal act ! Vain, then, would be the prowess of the British arms—vain the reflec tions of their former glory ! Without fitting out one ship of the line—without raising one hostile banner, the Emperor of Russia would beat down the once dreaded power and inde pendence of England. By simply closing his harbours, by shutting up the granaries of Dantzic and Hamburg, he would speedily starve us into submission. The populace of Great Britain, deprived of their wonted supply of bread, would be come ungovernable, and submission soot be felt to be a matter of necessity. Can we, who, with our eyes open, pro pose to do such things, blame the Carthaginians who first surrendered their galleys and arms to the Roman generals, and then, when the legions were encamped around the walls, found themselves without weapons to withstand an inveterate enemy, and perished through the impotence they themselves had created ? THE STORM IN THE SEA OF MARMORA AND THE BLACK SEA The Austrian Observer gives some particulars of the storm of the night of the Ist December, in the Sea of Marmara and the Euxine, which have not appeared in other papers. Ac cording to the account in a letter from Constantinople, the steamer Seri Pervaz, belonging to the Danube Steam Navi gation Company, which sailed towards the evening of the Ist of December from Constantinople for Syria, was, sh.rtly after her entrance into the Sea of Marmora, overtaken by the most violent tempest which ever raged within the memory of man in those regions. The wind blew from the N.N.W., and was, during the whole night, accompanied by a continual fall of drifting snow. Unfortunately the engine, which was not in due proportion to the magnitude of the Seri Pervaz, had not sufficient power to enable her to withstand the fury of the elements ; so, after being tossed about among the waves in the most dreadful manner for more than 12 hours, :he was finally driven on the Asiatic coast; at 6 in the morning she struck off Arundli, in the Gulf of Madania. The passengers for Syria were the Austrian Lieutenant- Colonel Philippovich, Count Andreas Szechenyi, Austrian Captain of Cavalry ; Baron Von Taubenheim, Master of the Horse to the King of Wurtemburg ; and M. Von Steinal, one of the interpreters in the office of the Austrian Internuncio. All these, as well as the captain and crew of the steamer, suc ceeded in reaching the shore. The Turkish soldiers, which were embarked to the number of 550, were also all fortunately saved, with the exception of ten, some of whom were washed overboard during the passage, and some were drowned from their imprudent eagerness to get into the boats putting off for the shore. Measures were promptly taken by the Danube Steam Navigation Company to afford assistance to the Seri Pervaz. The Crescent, steamer, which had just arrived from the Black Sea, was immediately despatched to the wreck. The Lloyd's steamer Ludovico also repaired to the spot and speedily returned to Constantinople with the above-named passengers. The engine is saved, and part of the machinery has been brought to Constantinople. Whether the hull may be repaired cannot be ascertained until the boilers and other machinery are cleared out. The Crescent experienced a stormy passage in the Black Sea. She was frequently obliged to lie to, being incapable of making any effort, Four men were swept from the deck by the waves, two perished of cold, and twelve arrived at Con stantinople with half powerless limbs, benumbed by the frost. The Russian steamer Neva, one of those which maintain the regular communication between Odessa and Constantinople, was wrecked at Kila, near the entrance of the Bosphorus. Of all on board only the captain and seven other individuals were saved. The remainder—namely, six passengers and 13 seamen—found a watery grave. The Stamboul arrived at Constantinople on the Bth, all well, from Trapezunt, having lain for some days in port to avoid the storm. She brought intelligence that the Ferdinand had sustained no damage in the passage to Trapezunt. The shipwrecks occasioned by the storms of the Ist were extremely numerous in the Black Sea. We have already in formation of the fate of 18 Greek vessels, three English, and several Austrian, Sardinian, and Neapolitan merchantmen, which have been cast away on the coasts of that sea. Seven shipwrecks have occurred even in the canal itself, which unheard-of circumstance is sufficient to give an idea of the extreme fury of the storm. Monday last, December 28, being the day appointed for the celebration of Saint John the Evangelist (one of the pa tron saints of the most ancient and highly respected frater nity of free and accepted masons), at three o'clock, pursuant to notice, the members and visitors assembled in the g re a t Cestrian Lodge Room, Royal Hotel. Soon after the lodge was duly opened by the worthy past-master (Thomas Fin chett Maddock, Esq.), and the R. W. I). P. G. 19 aster for the province of Chester (John Finchett Maddock, Esq.) having taken his station on the throne, the ceremony of installing worshipful master for the ensuing year commenced, when Brother Charles Hamilton, who had, by the unanimous voice of the lodge, kindly consented a second time to be elected to fill the chair, was installed, with the usual forms and cere monies, worshipful master of the Cestrian Lodge for the en suing twelve months, and received the hearty congratulation; of the brethren present. His worship was then pleased to appoint the following brethren his officers for the, ensuing year :—R. Roberts, Esq., senior warden ; J. W. Bage, Esq., junior warden ; Brother S. Brown (elected by ballot for the sixth time), treasurer •, Brother John Moss, senior deacon ; Brother Edward G. Willoughby, junior deacon ; Brother Jenkins, junior guard ; and Brother S. Jones, tyler. We sincerely congratulate the brethren of this lodge on their choice of so excellent a master, and his discrimination in the appointment of such efficient officers. The business of the day having been disposed of, the direc tor of the ceremonies (Brother S. Brown), by command, marshalled the procession, which proceeded to the banquet room in the following order :—Two Tylers, with drawn swords ; Junior Guard, with drawn sword ; the Most Wor shipful the D. P. G. Master, supported by the Worshipful Master of the Lodge, and the Rev. Chaplain (Brother Fol liott ; Brother Brefrey, V. W.; the P. P. G. S. Wardens for Cheshire; Brother T. Bennett, the P. G. Junior Deacon for Cheshire ; Visitors of distinction, the Senior and Junior Wardens, Treasurer, Senior and Junior Deacons, Subscrib ing Members and other Visitors, two and two ; Tyler, with drawn sword.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JANUARY 1. Brokers Offices have been closed since the 24th of December, anil will not re-open till the sth instant. We have consequently n transactions to report. THE FRUITS OF EMANCIPATION (From the Guiana Times.) Are not to be discussed minutely in a cursory notice, but it may not be amiss to say a word or two respecting some of them. A petulant clamour is raised about the value of property not having been depreciated. Why, of the recent exchanges of properties, the majority are allowed to have been sacrificed on one side, bargains on the other. Moreover, nothing is more natural, than that men who have faith in the prospect of extensive immigration, should purchase land, when they can get it cheap, at a period when the extravagant price given for sugar goes far to compensate for the loss of the coercive power of the former slave owner. What say the Produce Returns? The Governor perempto rily refuses to allow them to be divulged. He caused the publication of one, a most fallacious one, some time back, in which he c o mp are d th e average o f a ll the quarters of 1839, with the actual result of one good quarter of 1840. We are as certain as that we now write, that this infamous return will be quoted against the Colony, and we shall be told that we have no right to complain, for we are doing better than ever. Governor M`Leod, we should imagine, will have no motive for a concealment or perversion of the truth. He will, we dare believe, unlock the custom-house records, shut up by Mr Light. And yet the custom-house returns will not be perfectly faithful, inasmuch as they will show no manner of distinction between sugar, the produce of the 'ountry, and foreign sugar, landed pro forma, from ships in the river, and re-shipped as colonial produce. It is truly distressing to have to record, that, besides the encouragement given to foreign slavery, by the process to which we have alluded, there is yet another premium held out, the effects of .which cannot be less extensively pernici ous. On several estates in Demerara, you may purchase refined foreign sugar cheaper than you can raw sugar, the produce of the estate. Indeed, the extent to which refined foreign sugar is in use among us, is very alarming. As far as we are able to collect, our planters and merchants, generally, do not deprecate, with much fervour, the idea of a European war. It is justly remarked how great an advan tage the English colonies must possess over those of France, and how probable it is, that we have only to lie to, off Mar tinique or Gaudaloupe, for a few hours, to empty those islands of half their population. But a war must interrupt immigration from distant parts, and break up the machinery of the proposed packet system, from which we may antici pate so many beneficial results. In general, but little regret is felt, at the transaction of lair properties from the hands of absentees, to those of resident, proprietors. The advantages arising to the mass of the population are too obvious to require detail. Nor is it denied that the retention in the colony, of the money laid out in wages, causes the colonists, generally, to feel the eff ec t s of _ernasicipation in 14,,1e5s ratio than some classes of the inhabitants of the mother-country. Were estates to fall, pretty extensively, into the possession of persons who have approved themselves as attorneys or managers, and were the colony to be allowed immigrants, we should soon form a very opulent and flourishing community. We need not add, that the labouring population still con tinue masters of the labour market, and can, possibly, have nothing to complain of in their condition. It is very mucb to be lamented, that no inquiry has been set on foot respecting the falsehoods of certain parties in Barbados, whose assertions, if believed, must be very prejudicial to us. Perhaps, Governor M`Leod, may do something in this way. THE POLISH ExiLEs.—Meantime, the children of Po land are wanderers over the earth ; or, if lingering on their native soil, lingering there no longer as masters, but as slaves. Theirs is a strange destiny,—the life of a criminal without his guilt. Their gallantry and their honour have as yet been rewarded with the felon's fate; and the cup they have had to drain has, indeed, been a cup running over with' bitterness. Their poverty has been mocked at in lands where to be poor is to be criminal, and the nobleness of soul which bid the patriot lay down his wealth at his coun try's altar has been forgotten. The fashion of the hour has changed, and the woes of Poland are no longer sung in the bowers of the fair ; whilst the politician exclaims, " Cat un fait accompli," and, shrugging his shoulders, announces the degrading doctrine that possession gives right. Even the lawyer will allow, that no claim is barred which is asserted within a period of twenty years ; and what year elapses during which hundreds of Poland's children do not assert her claims, and sign their appeal with their blood? From time to time the throes of Poland, as she half rises from her tomb, are felt over Europe; and each struggle to assume her former erect position becomes more desperate and prolonged. The serf and the noble are fast learning the mighty lesson, that in their union lies their strength ; and, like the giant form in the Castle of Otranto, we prophesy that the spirit of Poland will yet dilate, till it burst the cere wents of its living tomb. Meantime, the Polish exile has a high and noble mission : it is his lofty prerogative, as he wanders a stranger, and perhaps in rags, to preach to the world a mighty lesson of enduring faith,—a faith in the un dying nationality of a country which we vainly seek upon the map,—a faith in the justice of a God to whom his blood has so Jong vainly cried for succour,—a faith in the final victory of that right which has been so often stricken to the earth. Those who once preached a yet sublimer faith were even more despised and afflicted than he; but the Polish ex ile, however miserable, he too is an apostle.—From Fraser's Magazine for January. HEIGHT OF CLOUDS.—The altitudepf clouds in the South Sea, under the influence of the trade winds, was found, by the officers of the Venus, to be between .900 and 1,400 metres (2,952 to 4,593 feet.) -CESTRI AN THE BANQUET, Near fifty sat doWn to a most sumptuous entertainment, served up b'y Brother Willoughby on a scale of liberality and profusion superior to any former occasion, and which re flected great credit on all those employed. It consisted of the rarest dainties in fish, flesh, and fowl. The wines were of the choicest flavour, and the dessert delicious and abun dant. The banquet having been discussed, and benediction pro nounced by the Rev. Chaplain, the following toasts, &c., were delivered from the throne, which was ably filled by that talented and zealous mason, the R. W. Deputy Provincial Grand Master for Cheshire, JORN FiNcuErr MADDOCK, Esq. "Our most gracious Sovereign, and may she long live to reign over a free and happy people." (Masonic fire.) Song, by Brother S. Brown—" God save the Queen." " His Royal Highness Prince Albert, and may we soon have the pleasure of toasting him as a free and an accepted mason.' " Song, by Brother T. Truss—' ` Adieu, my native land." " The Queen Dowager, and the rest of the Royal Family." (Fire.) . , Song, by Brother Gough—" To all you ladies." The R. W. DEPUTY then observed, that although " the rest of the Royal Family" had been given, still there was one young lady entitled to their especial notice, and ought to be given separately—he meant the Princess Royal ; and he hoped that in process of time she would be favoured (by Divine Providence) with the company of a- Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester. (Great applause.) Song, by Brother Brooke—" 'Our bonny English rose." " His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, Most Wor shipful Grand Master of England." (Grand masonic ho nburs.) Song, by Brother J. Clements—" The fine old admiral." " The Earl of Zetland, Provincial Grand Master." (Ho nours.) " The Marquis of Salisbury." (Honours.) Sono. ' , by Brother Blake—" The Thorn." The Pro. W. D. G. M., in proposing the next toast, begged to state, that he hoped before they assembled again he would have the pleasure of announcing the safe return of their highly esteemed Pro. W. P. G. M. of the Province, Lord Viscount Combermere ; and, although absent, yet so excellent a noble man and so zealous a mason lived in the heart of every mason in this and the neighbouring province, and he trusted the time was not distant that would restore the gallant and node chief to his native soil and to his highly and important duties of Grand Provincial Master of Cheshire. (Received with enthusiasm and honours.) Song—" The flag that brav'd a thousand years"—sung in capital style by .Brother William Jones, of Lodge 368, Liver pool. The W. MASTER, (Chas. Hamilton, Esq.,) in a speech of some length, then proposed the R. W. D. P. G. Master of the Province, J. Finchett Maddock, Esq., who had honoured them with his presence that day,,and stated how gratifying it was to him, and he begged to assure him it was also to the great body of masons within this province, for the zeal and uniform attention which he bad always evinced in the cause of masonry, in private as well as in his public capacity of D. P. G. Master, and with what feelings of pleasure the brethren from one end of the county to the other dwelt on the recollection of the time when the noble viscount made choice of so efficient a representative, and under whose fostering care masonry had gained such an ascendancy in this city that had never been exceeded before, and hoped he might be long spared to live amongst them and adorn the exalted character he then so well supported. (Rapturous applause and honours.) The R. W. D. P. G. MASTER rose to return thanks, his feelings evidently overcome by this mark of their esteem. He begged to assure them that he felt the compliment just paid him, and trusted that Providence might spare him to perform the important duties of his station in this county that the craft required, and that he should never forget the unsolicited honour conferred by the R. W. P. G. M. in ap pointing him as his lordship's deputy, and for the fraternal and kind manner he had upon every occasion been received by those lodges he had had the pleasure of visiting. After congratulating the brethren of the Cestrian Lodge on their choice of the master and appointment of the officers, he thanked them most sincerely, and hoped each would strive to carry out the true principles of masonry with freedom, fervency, and zeal. The worthy Deputy then resumed his seat amidst masonic honours, &c. Song, by Brother Brown—" Oh, my heart is delighted." " Past and Present P. G. Officers of Cheshire." (Ho nours.) Brothers BRASSEY and BENNETT (the two provincial officers present) returned thanks. Song, by Brother Clements—Parody on the Sea. Brother the Rev. J. FOLLIOT (the Chaplain for the day) rose, and after making some observations on the beauties of masonry, passed a high eulogium on the merits of the W. Master, C. Hamilton, Esq., and concluded by giving his health, which was received by the brethren with great ap plause, and the masonic honours gives with marked precision. The W. MASTER acknowledged the compliment, and, in a speech of some length, concluded by assuring his brethren that his best faculties should be exerted in the discharge of his duty during the next twelve months, and begged most cordially to thank them for the honor of electing him a se cond time to fill the chair. Song—Brother Brown—The " Entered Apprentice." " The W. M. and Brethren of the Deva Lodge, 651." (Honours.) Brother L. WILBRARAM returned thanks, and delivered an excellent oration. " The Rev. J. FOLLIOTT" (the chaplain of the day). (Honours.) He responded to the toast in a speech fraught with sentiments of " good will" and piety. Song—" I am a friar of orders gray."

One part of this day's proceedings gives us great pleasure to relate : at an early part of the day the R. W. D. P. G. M. presented, in the name of the Lodge, an elegant silver snuff box, to Brother J. A. Clements, on which was the following inscription : " Presented to Brother J. A. Clements, by the Brethren of the Cestrian Lodge, 615, as a small tribute of their frater nal regard for his zeal as a mason, and his efficient services to the interests of the Cestrian Lodge upon all occasions." The R. W. D. P. G. M. retired about ten o'clock, when the lodge was finally closed and adjourned '—very beauti- LANCASHIRE COUNTY VOTERS.—The number of voters for this county, as they now appear on the respective lists, is as follows :—For the Southern Division, 18,178; for the Northern, - 10,031 ; total 28,209 ; and we are happy to add that the conservative cause is perfectly secure in both di visions.—Preston Pilot. We are sorry to announce the death of Frank Hall Stan dish. Esq. of Duxbury, in Lancashire, of literary celebrity. He had almost entirely recovered from a long and painful illness, but being attacked with inflammation, he died sud denly at Cadiz, on the 21st of December.—Morning Post. PORT OF ULVERSTON E.—The petition to make the port of Ulverstone a free port has received a number of signa tures, and will in a few days be forwarded to the Earl' of Burlington ; through whom, to the members of North Lan cashire and Lord Sandon, it will be presented to the Lords of the Treasury.—Preston Chronicle. PLIIMPTON IRON ORE PITS, NEAR ULVERSTON E.—The spirited gentlemen who are working these pits, have met with ore of excellent quality. They are now erecting a steam-engine, to pump the water out of the pits. We have no doubt they will ultimately succeed—and we trust beyond their most sanguine expectations.—Preston Chronicle. FOREIGN POSTAGE.—There seems to be a very general and erroneous impression that the postage of foreign letters cannot be paid by means of stamps. The 3 and 4 Victoria, c. 95, s. 12, authorises that stamps may be used for foreign letters outwards. In those cases where the stamps are in sufficient, and the payment of the foreign postage is com pulsory, the letter is returned to the sender; but charged ' with such postage as if no stamp had been thereon or affixed thereto." TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION OF GUNPOWDER.—On Tues day last, a boy eleven years of age, son of a coal-miner at Spotland Bridge, near Rochdale, named William Moult, went into the garret with a lighted candle, and was taking some gunpowder out of a barrel which his father had got a few days a go , when a spark ignited it and the boy was blown through the roof of the building, and was found at a distance of several yards from the house. He died in a few hours after. The report alarmed the whole neighbourhood, but fortunately no other persons were injured. CAMBRIDGE, JAN. 2.—The Norrisian professor has given notice that his lectures in Lent term, 1841, will commence on Tuesday, Feb. 2. _ John'Carlen Heath, Esq., B. A., of the Inner. Temple was, on the 23d ult., elected a fellow of Trinity Hall, by th master and fellows of that society. Yesterday, the Rev. Henry Alford, of Trinity College, was appointed Hulsean lecturer. . _ _ • • THE HULSEAN PRlZE.—Yesterday, the Hulsean prize of upwards of 100 guineas, was adjudged to Andrew Jukes, Trinity College. Subject—" An inquiry into the principles of the prophetic interpretation, and the pr ac ti ca l resu lt s aris ing from them." The subject for the present y ear i s , " The use and value of the writings of the ancient fathers, consi dered as auxiliary to the proof of the truth of the Christian religion, and to the elucidation of its doctrines." PREE MASONRY IN CHESTER LODGE, 615: RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. The Chief Railway Commissioner, Sir Frederick Smith, R.E., arrived at Carlisle a few days ago, and on Monday, accompanied by Mr. Miller, the engineer of the Glasgow and Edinburgh Railway, proceeded to survey the proposed lines from Carlisle to Glasgow and Edinburgh.—Newcastle Journal. Sir Frederick Smith and Professor Barlow, the commis sioners appointed by the Lords of the Treasury to report on the best line of railway communication between London and Glasgow have delivered in their third report, wherein they recommend for that portion between Lancaster and Carlisle, a line by way of Kendal, Orton, and Penrith, on a plan sub mitted by Mr. Larmer.—Newcastle Journal. LINE OF RAILWAY THROUGH FIFE.-Mr. Grainger, the engineer employed to prepare the plans required by the stand ing orders of the House of Commons, preparatory to the in troduction of the bill into parliament, has, we understand, commenced his survey of the proposed railway through Fife. The surveyors under his directions commenced their labours simultaneously on Tuesday last week at Bruntisland and va rious other points along the line to Dundee, by Kirkcaldy, Markinch, New Inn, Cupar, &c.—Scottith Standard. STATE OF TRADE LEEDS.—During the past week there has been fully as much business transacted in the cloth halls as might be ex pected at this particular season of the year, and perhaps even still more done to order, for there is a remarkable want of assortment in the stocks of goods now in the cloth halls. A general expectation seems to prevail that we shall have a brisk trade early in the spring. BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for goods at our mar ket on Thursday, the last market in the year, was brisker than might have been expected, and prices were very firm. There was also a steady demand for yarn at recent prices. inferior sorts of combing wools were in good request at former rates ; but in finer sorts the sales were very limited. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JAN. I.—The new year, We anticipate, will improve upon the old. There is decidedly more activity in some of our warehouses. There is more business in the trade during the last fortnight. CHESTERFIELD WOOL MARKET, DEC. 29.—We have re frained from making any report of the wool trade in this quarter for some time, owing to the uniform sameness that has prevailed' in the market. The trade has at length got what may be termed a turn ; all descriptions of this article have, within the last week or two, been decidedly better sold, and staplers are quite on the alert in making purchases. We have no doubt wool will still realize better prices. —Leeds Intelligencer. ROMAN CATHOLIC ELECTORS PUBLICLY DENOUNCED FROM THE ALTAR.—AWFUL INTIMIDATION.—On Sunday last, some respectable Roman Catholic tenants of the Hon. Somerset Maxwell were publicly denounced by a priest, who declared that " they were damned, and it was out of his power to save them. " ' This attempt to create excitement has failed to make an impression on any but the mere mob— but it demonstrates the existence of a ferocious tyranny, that must be exposed and fearlessly combatted before it can be extinguished. The adjudication of the magistrates at Tul low was also a subject of debate in another chapel, and they were collectively and individually abused for daring to ad minister the law in justice and equity, by punishing the wretches who polluted the house of worship by committing assaults therein.—Carlow Sentinel. INCREASE OF THE NAVY.--In comparing the list of the ships in commission at the present period, with the list of those in active service last January, we find the strength of the navy at sea is increased by three three-deckers, two eighty-fours, three fifties, five sloops of war, and seven first class steamers, forming an addition to our defence of 794 guns and 6,300 men ; the whole of which are in addition to any estimate proposed to Parliament, and is an expense which the pressure of the times has compelled the govern ment to incur, and under a full reliance on the emergency of the case justifying them in asking for the necessary supplies. The number of seamen, marines, and boys now in employ, exceeds 43,000.—Hampshire Telegraph. DEATH OF LADY HERVEY BATHURST.—WC have to record, after a short illness, the demise of the above highly respected lady, which took place on Wednesday last, at Cla rendon Park, Wilts. Her late ladyship, who was eldest daughter and co-heiress of the late Mr. Walter Smythe, was born 10th June, 1810, and married 14th May, 1832, Sir Fre deric Hutchinson Hervey Bathurst, Bart., by whom she leaves issue a son and a daughter. Sir Frederic, it is needless to say, is inconsolable at his domestic bereavement. ADVANTAGES OF BEING A DIRECTOR. — One of the on dits of the, day tells a pleasant tale of an event that happened in a railway not 113 miles long. A director living some 50, more or less, miles down, and having some friends to enter tain during this merry eason, had ordered a barrel of oy s t ers to conic by his own railway. The lazy fishmonger not send ing them in time, the director—and who had a better right? —took off a barrel going by the railway to another party, that he might not disappoint his own friends; and the next day, like a good and worthy member of society, sent on his own to the expectant party.—. Railway Magazine. PORTSMOUTH HARBOUR.—A most complete survey of the Portsmouth Harbour, (says the Hampshire Telegraph,) with its variousilakes and approaches, has recently been made by Lieuts. Sherringharn and Otter, and their assistants, inclu ding a minute map of the towns. The most extraordinary coincidence exists, we understand, between the present sur vey, with all the improved methods, and still more improved instruments, and the old survey of Mackenzie, made in 1782, and the still more recent one of the late talented and indus trious Mr. Park, who was then Master Attendant here ; and, still more extraordinary, the soundings, all over, have varied only in the slightest degree in the period alluded to, sixty years. The bar off the Southsea Land-marks remains unal tered from its shape and size as recorded in the oldest minutes ; and we find it consist of no shifting matter, but is a firm substance of flint and chalk, almost concreted together with gravel ; it could be channelled with much ease, but with some expense.

The arrivals of Butter have been very trilling this week ; and. from the contracted and extraordinay anxiety of the London trade to purchase on board in Ireland, we think the quantity t , ) come forward here for the remainder of the season will be small. Considerable business would have been done to-day and on Satur. day last, had holders been stall inclined to bend;—they, however, are entirely the reverse, and demand boldly 108 s to 110 s for this finest descriptions. There is not a great deal doing in pickled Butter, the advance in price, deters shippers from operating. 1023 is the present price, and some are limited to 105 s. In provisions there has been some talk of an advance, and for good heavy Beef it may be reasonable. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, JAN. 1. Sugar.—There is still only a limited demand, and the sales of B.P. do not exceed 300 hhds., at former prices. 200 Bags Bengal nave also neen taken at 55s tid to 56s for kaur, and 83s 6d for Middling:white. In Manritius no sales. Id Foreign nothing what ever done. Bonded Refined.—No sales are reported, but Treacle continues inquired for, at 14s per cwt. 150 puns. of Detnerara and 13erbice Molasses, of ordinary quality, have been sold at the quotations. Coffee.—There has been rather more inquiry for Plantation, but as the quantity offering at present is inconsiderable, the sales have been trivial, comprising small lots of Jamaica, at steady prices. Of Foreign, 150 bags St. Domingo brought 445, 70 bags Brazil 41s, 40 bags Laguayra 50s. and 50 bags African 42s per cwt. No sales of Cocoa, Ginger, Pepper, Or Pimento. Nothing done in Rice. The business In Rum consists of 110 puns. of Demerara, 2g to 33 per cent. 0. P., at Is 4d to Is 7d per gallon. Tea.—The transactions have been ti Ming during the week; but the market closes with a better feeling, and holders arc very firm. In East India articles very little has been done beyond a few chests of Indigo, and some small lots of Saltpetre, at the previous currency. Dyewitods.—The sales are confined to some small parcels of Fustic, Nicaragua Wood and Logwood, at previous rates. The demand for Turpentine is improving, and rather higher prices have been obtained, 128 gd having been given for 200 brls. of middling quality. A small parcel of American Tar, 400 to 500 brls„ was sold at about 14s 6d. Montreal Pot Ashes go off regularly, and in some instances an advance of 6d per cwt. has been given, 30s 6d having been paid for the new imports. Pearl Ashes are dull at previous prices. In Hides there are no sales of moment to report. Tobacco continues in fair demand, and prices have undergone but little change; the sales for the month amount to 1200 hhds., of which 420 were Virginia leaf and 260 stemmed, go Kentucky leaf and 430 stemmed. Irish Dealers and Manufacturers have taken 270 hhds., Exporters 250, (chiefly Kentucky stemmed,) and Manufacturers 270, the remain - der, or 60 hhds., being taken for Scotland. The import, as made up for the year, is 17 hhds. less than 1839, and the stock 7524 hhds. against 7233 at this time last year.

Brazils are more in demand, and Pernams in particular are decidedly dearer since stocktaking. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JANUARY 2. The change of wind has brought up several Grain cargoes during the last two or three days, including 9,000 quarters of Wheat from the English coast, (nearly all free foreign, from London,) with 9,000 quarters of Oats and 14,700 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland. We have at the same time to report, as usual at the holyday season, a limited trade generally; but, at yesterday's market, somewhat easier terms would have been taken for both Oats and Oatmeal had sales to any extent been thereby practicable. Barley and Beans remain as last quoted : of the former, a little choice chevalier has brought 395, and tine small Beans, English and Foreign, 46s to 47s per qr. A few Foreign Peas have been retailed at 41s to 42s imp. quarter. American Flour, free, has sustained late rates, but has been rather slow of sale, the best marks of United States at 365, Canadian at ass to 36s per brl. A little United States has been sold, in bond, for export, at 26s per barrel. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 4. This day we had a large supply of Cattle and ISheep, and for the season of the year we never recollect Grass Beef coming to market in such line condition, but still prices rated lower than last week. Prime Beef 6id to 62d, middling and inferior sid to 6d; good Wethers 6id to 7d; Ewes and middling Sheep 6d to 6id, sinking the offal. Number of Beasts, 1502; Sheep, 4511. LIVERPOOL PRICES CURRENT.
