Rittraturt, POETRY THE IMPORTANCE OF PEEL. "What's in a name."—Shakspeare (For the Liverpool Standard.) In every thing supreme confest, Whether for woe or weal. A natio','s wrongs to be redrest, Or pudding made, stands Peel. Does cook with cook in contest vie To mince the tender veal— Do orange banners float the sky You still observe the Peel. Does man indignantly demand Redress for wrong, and feel He must enlist both heart and hand— What does he do ?—why, Peel ! Perhaps, indeed, a man of law, He would not hasty deal, But enter on a wordy war. And then he will ap-peal! Peel to plum-pudding adds a zest, And when the church bells steal, On you er landscape, why Pm blest, If still it is not Peal. Saint Stephen's whipsters shrink and shake, He does such lashes deal, And many a fall the heedless make Who tread on Orange Peel. Debates dark clouds proclaim him nigh, Young England gives a squeal, For the lightning flashes in his eye, And the thunder roars its Peal. Nay, such his name, would you o'erthrow, The kingdom's common weal? !Tis but a watchword and a blow, Rebellion or re-peal. Since this be so, let's ever peal _ A triple Bob Peal on high, Appeal to Peel to stop repeal, And peal for victory. Rind, August 2 1 , 1643. ACROSTIC. (From a Jamaica Paper.)

HINTS FOR PEDESTRIANS, PRACTICAL AND iN EDIC AL. (From an unpul!:,hed Manuscript, by a Physician of Liverpool.) BY MEDICUS. (CONTINUED FROM OUR LAST.) CHAPTER VI. SUPPLEMENTARY. CONTAINING, CHIEFLY, EXTRAC TS FOR DIRECTING, ENCOURAGING, AND CAUTIONING PEDESTRIANS ON SUNDRY MATTERS-SCRAPS FOR REFLECTION IN THE COUNTRY-POETICAL GLEANINGS AND SCENIC EF FECTS ALLUDED TO, &C. We trust that the gatherings from the vintages of others, to which this chapter is almost exclusively de voted, will contain passages suited to the varied tastes and interests of our different classes of readers—that is, providing we are read at all by any. For the last time, then, we lead off our chapter by picking out a few remarks on the advantages of exer cise, in addition to those already advanced, in order that the irresolute mind, derived front an invalided body, may, by definite ideas on the important subject of what is called " kviene," be encouraged to shake off dull sloth and listless inactivity ; especially if he should be threatened with such an enemy to comfort (yet a direct consequence, as it is, of the pursuit of comfort and plea sure by the wrong road) as that of an inactive body re plete with loaded humours, let him "up and be doing " all that remains in his power to retrace his steps, a plan which he may find difficult at first, but full of good fruits in proportion to, and as a reward of, his perseverance. We stake not only our own medical knowledge, but also that of all accredited writers on the subject, that by this way, and not by medicine, (except under impe rative sickness,) lies the true though " unbeaten path" to a green old age. Lines are sometimes long, and full of sameness to the common mind ; yet if you have any time to pause now and then, if only to find food for some pleasing train of thought, and are at all disposed - towards minute luvestigaLioia of übjc..ta tht, naturalist delights to do, carry a small magnifying lens with you ; and thus observing the flower of a moss, the interior of a seed, the rind of a fruit, the wing or cuoi, ot an insect, your thoughts will range themselves in the happy tune of refection, corresponding to your own slow marching time. This is surprising, but true—that if you saunter, your thoughts saunter as well in the lands of reverie and castle-building ; if you walk smartly, the mind becomes more prone to observation, and less so to reflection. Before starting, we would recom mend the reader to arm himself with such a lens for the waistcoat pocket as the " Stanhope" which is one of the best and readiest, having microscopic powers of a small amount. Days may be spent even profitably this way, tutoring in the young especially their powers of accurate observation and comparison, so essential in those students preparing for the " learned professions," and the study of science in all departments, —in none so useful as in physic! Suppose that you have, however, no turn this way—at least you have a turn for matters relative to the promotion of your own health—it cannot long be even a matter of indifference to you, however young and hearty. Come, then, turn to what follows an at tentive and drinking ear ; and then throw down a book which can interest you no more only when its instruc tive quotations are spent. At least you will have the responsibility of knowing more than you did, if you were ignorant : thenceforward you cannot allow sloth to eat up your vitals, but, with your eyes couched, to mark the progressive inroads of the monster ! Hygiene. —" The principal source of our wellbeing arises from the circulation of our fluids, especially the blood. A brisk circulation animates the whole man ; even the phlegmatic is exhilarated, when anything sets his blood in commotion ; and when this takes place in an immoderate degree, the man is agitated even to de lirium. These effects are well known. Continued rest weakens the circulation, till at length the blood feebly creeps through its vessels, for the heart is not of itself sufficient to give it due motion. For this, muscular movement is likewise requisite. But rest of body relaxes the muscles, diminishes the vital heat, checks perspira tion, injures digestion, sickens the whole frame,' and thus numberless diseases are introduced. There is not a single part of the human machine which a sedentary mode of life does not debilitate, and the nerves more especially suffer by it." ' Generally speaking," says Ackerman," " a seden tarp life is the source of all those diseases which physi cians term cachectic, the number of which is considera ble. Among them are jaundice, atrophy, worms, dropsy, &c., &c.' For these exercise is the best remedy. "It strengthens the vessels," says Tissot, " preserves the fluids - in a healthy state, quickens the appetite, facili tates the excretions, invigorates the spirits, and excites pleasing sensations throughout the whole nervous sys tem." " Thus far the philosophic Plato," (quoting his eulogies of gymnastic exercises.) And Rousseau must have thought much in the same manner, when he wrote: —" The grand secret of education is to contrive that the exercise of the body and that of the mind may always serve as relaxations to each other.'t —Treatise on Phy sical Education, by .Louis Huguenin, Professor of Gym nastics. London : Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. 1839. Monsieur Huguenin 's little book is well worthy of attentive perusal, and people would do well to follow out the recommendations contained therein practically. The author of these " Hints" can, from personal expe rience, testify to the mental and corporeal benefits to be derived from a course of gymnastics. The vigour and tone imparted to the mind are surprising and delightful. Gymnastics are of benefit, to the weak and the strong : • the due exercise of all the voluntary, and by sympathy, or contiguity of relation, of the involuntary class of mus cles, as they are called, is the better half of physic for the slighter forms of ill health ; it is all but an unmixed good if common sense and discretion are only taken as guides. Hear him further, in " giving the substance of the seven first paragraphs of Hoffman's work" (De Motu Corp. Opt. Med.—Bodily E xerc i se th e b est M e di c i ne )' : —" The support of the body requires not nourishment alone, but the separation of what cannot be converted into blood; and what is daily thrown off from the blood is of this kind. This, according to Sanctorius, amounts to more than is discharged by all the other emunctories. Perspiration, then, is the principal way in which this can be effected. Consequently, all the means that are capable of promoting this, should be employed ; and o f these the most natural, and therefore the best, are bodily motion and exercise. Perspiration depends on the cir culation of the blood. The skin is the seat of a number of small glands, which receive from the blooi the parti cles that are to be discharged. These particles are conveyed from the glands to the pores of the skin, through which they are expelled from the system. Care must be taken, therefore, that abundance of blood be conveyed to those glands, in order to which its circula tion must be promoted. This is accomplished by means of motion, one chief use of which this is. Another is the assisting of digestion, the promotion of the appetite, * On the Diseases of the Learned. t Ernißus the exhilaration and refreshment of body and mind. A third consists in the expulsion of pernicious humours, whence people who are accustomed to much exercise are little troubled with severe diseases, with stone, gout ; ague. cachexy, dropsy, or hypochondriacism. For, to say the truth, an idle way of life, particularly where but a small portion of fluid is taken into the stomach, is the true parent of all diseases that arise from an im purity and thickness of the blood, and have obstruction of the internal parts for their basis. On the other hand, nothing in the world is a more certain and efficacious preservative, than a sufficiency of &di& motion. It excels every medicine that can be recommended for the preservation of health, and prevention of diseases; and in this view may justly be called a panacea, as it not only removes the cause of disorders, but is an effectual means of strengthening the body and keeping it in a proper tone." (Huguenin.) " Corporeal exercise, to be health-promotive in the largest degree," remarks Davis, " must not only be cheerful, and partaken of under exhilarating circum stances,—not like that taken in the most solemn of all processions,' as Dr. Combe happily designates the pub lic promenade of a ladies' boarding-school, —but should be allowed to combine the various faculties in an unla borious, easy, and somewhat playful display o f ag ility. • • The mind should be unbent and occupied with no pressing care or intense thought during the hours of exercise, which, in this way, should truly be hours of relaxation. Health has much more to do with unre strained freedom, and a cheerfulness approaching to gaiety,—with ' Sport that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter, holding both his sides,' (L'Allegro,) than is generally conceived. " But,' to render bodily exercise productive of the greatest benefit, another element is necessary, there must be a sufficient motive for it. A walk without an object seldom tends to the refreshment of either mind or body. It is true, in some cases, the benefit expected to be derived from the walk may itself be a sufficient stimulus to sustain the continuance of the effort without flagging; still the agreeable conversation of a friend is enough to double the benefits derived from the exercise, by maintaining a pleasing excitation in the mind, and thus administering to the instinctive desire for activity before alluded to. Those pent up in close cities, and engaged in sedentary pursuits, have a hidden treasure in the kingdoms of nature of inestimable value to them, that, like the treasure concealed in the vineyard left by the old man in the fable to his sons, only requires to be sought for in order to be enjoyed. A taste for natural beauties is within the attainment of all ; and the more systematic study of natural objects will be found of the easiest acquirement where the desire for it is once lighted up in the mind. That such is the case is proved by the fact, that many of the most extensive collections of na tural productions, such as birds, insects, plants, and minerals, have been made by working men during their hours of relaxation : and it is well known that it is amongst this class that gardening is, in one sense, car ried to its highest perfection. There is a charm in the contemplation of Nature of exquisite sweetness. The skill, beauties, and adaptation everywhere 'displayed in her productions, excite the keenest admiration ; and the habitual study of them imparts to the mind such sooth ing .ensations, such a peacefulness of thought and feel ing, such 'a harmony of soul, as is derived from no other source. Indeed, viewing nature in this light, its capa bilities, and the boundless extent and variety of its objects, which no mind even confined to a narrow sphere of earth can ever exhaust in its own field alone, seem to point it out as designed to be the grand corrective of the errors and excesses of civilized life, as a shoreless sea of delight, ever at hand, and ever suited for civilized man to lave his weary powers in, and thus to be continually refreshed and reinvigorated. * * " It is one of M. Fellenberg's adm . ble principles, that ' there is no health, no vigour of , no vi,•tue, without bodily exertion' ; and his pl instruction are founded upon this just axiom." (TO BE CONTINUED.) DOWNFAL OF THE REPEAL SYMPATHY IN AMERICA. (From "Martin Chuzzlervil," by Boz.) The General rose to read a letter to the Public Man, which with his own hands he had written. " Thus," said the General, fellow-citizens, it runs: " " thus, my friends and " ' I address you on behalf of the Watertoast Associa- tion of United Sympathisers. It is founded, sir, in the great republic of America! and now holds its breath, and swells the blue veins in its forehead nigh to bursting, as it watches, sir, with feverish intensity and sympathetic ardour, your noble efforts in the cause of Freedom.' " At the name of Freedom, and at every repetition of that name, all the Sympathisers roared aloud; cheering with nine times nine, and nine times over. " In Freedom's name, sir—holy Freedom—l address you. In Freedom's name, I send herewith a contribution to the funds of your Society. In Freedom's name, sir, I advert with indignation and disgust to that accursed ani mal, with gore-stained whiskers, whose rampant cruelty and fiery lust have ever been a scourge, a torment, to the world. The naked visitors to Crusoe's Island, sir ; the flying wives of Veer W ilkins ; the trust-smeareci children of the tangled bush ; nay, even the men of large statute, anciently bred in the mining districts of Cornwall; alike bear witness to its savage nature. Where, sir, are the Cormorans, the Blunderbores, the Great Feefofun3s, named in History ? All, all, exterminated by its destroy ing hand. " • I allude, sir, to the British Lion. " ' Devoted, mind and body, heart and soul, to Free dom, sir—to Freedom, blessed solace to the snail upon the cellar-door, the oyster in his pearly bed, the still mite in his home of cheese; the very winkle of your coun try in his shelly lair—in her unsullied name, we offer you our sympathy. Oh, sir, in this our cherished and our happy land, her fires burn bright and clear and smoke less: once lighted up in yours, the lion shall be roasted whole. " I am, sir, in Freedom's name, " ' Your affectionate friend and faithful Sympathiser, " CYRUS CHOKE, " General, U.S.M.' " It happened that just as the General began to read this letter, the railroad train arrived, bringing a new mail from England ; and a packet had been handed in to the Secre tary, which, during its perusal and the frequent cheerings in homage to freedom, he had opened. Now, its contents disturbed him very much, and the moment the General sat down, he hurried to his side, and placed in his hand a letter and several printed extracts from English news papers • to which, in a state of infinite excitement, he called his immediate attention. The General, being greatly heated by his own composi tion, was in a fit state to receive any inflammable influ ence ; but he had no sooner possessed himself of the contents of these documents, than a change came over his face, involving such a huge amount of choler and passion, that the noisy concourse were silent in a mo ment, in very wonder at the sight of him. " My friends ! " cried the General, rising ; " my friends and fellow-citizens, we have been mistakenin this man." " In what man ?" was the cry. " In this," panted the General, holding up the letter he had read aloud a few minutes before. " I find that he has been, and is, the advocate—consistent in it always too —of Nigger emancipation !" If anything beneath the sky be real, those Sons of Freedom would have pistolled, stabbed—in some way slain—that man by coward hands and murderous violence, if he had stood among them at that time. The most con fiding of their own countrymen would not have wagered then —no, nor would they ever peril—one dunghill straw, upon the life of any man in such a strait. They tore the letter, cast the fragments in the air, trod down the pieces as they fell ; and yelled, and groaned, and hissed, till they could cry no longer. " I shall move," said the General, when he could make himself heard, " that the Watertoast Association of Uni ted Sympathisers be immediately dissolved ! " Down with it! Away with it! Don't hear of it! Burn its records ! Pull the room down ! Blot it out of human memory ! " But, my fellow-countrymen !" said the General, the contributions. We have funds. What is to be done with the funds?" It was hastily resolved that a piece of plate should be presented to a certain constitutional Judge, who had laid down from the Bench the noble principle, that it was lawful for any white mob to murder any black man; and that another piece of plate, of similar value, should be presented to a certain Patriot, who had declared from his high place in the Legislature, that he and his friends would hang, without trial, any Abolitionist who might pay them a visit. For the surplus, it was agreed that it should he devoted to aiding the enforcement of those free and equal laws, which render it incalculably more crimi nal and dangerous to teach a negro to read and write than to roast him alive in a public city. These points adjusted, the meeting broke up in great disorder : and there was an end of the Watertoast Sympathy. HERRING FISHERY. On Friday last intelligence reached the Anstruther fishermen that the herrings had set in at the " Auld Haiks." They accordingly pro ceeded thither, and next day returned, all having as m an y as they could swim with, some with be many as 90 crans. A few of the boats were up on Friday night, but as the price was too high fur the curers, their herrings were sold to the Frenchmen and cadgers, who gave as high as Ils. 6d. per cran for them. On Saturday, however, the price fell to Bs., and latterly to 55., at which price they were purchased by the curers. On Monday the take was not so heavy, the highest being about 40 crans, and on Tuesday the greater part of the boats returned clean, the herrings having left the Haiks.—Fife Journal. CAUTION TO TRADESMEN.—Under the operation of the new Insolvent Act all insolvents are required to spe cify, in their schedules, the name of every creditor. Should it appear that the na me o f an y cre dit or i s om i tte d , the district court have determined to dismiss the insolvent's petition for relief. It is also worthy of notice, that the certificate, being granted by the court to the insolvent, is a complete bar to any debt previously contracted, although such debt may not have been included in the schedule. It is, therefore, most important for all traders to watch nar rowly every advertised insolvent, and search through his schedule, to see if the debt in which the trader may be interested is included. If omitted, the p un i s h ment, on a pplication to the court , is as above stated. The act re quires each advertisement to appear twic e i n t h e London Gazette, and twice in some one local newspaper. THE LIVERY) AN DARE) Standard-off ce , , t o'clock. ANOTHER STEAMER TO A; .WRLtEED. LOSS OF THE QUEEN STELIAI-PA.CIiT. (From yesterday's Du!,', Mr. Hare, of Bristol, a to the ill-starred vessel, has kindly furnished us with the particulars of this calamity. The Queen steam-packet, Capt. Gardner, started from Bristol on Friday last, at ha'f-past ten o'clock, p.m. with a valuable cargo and passengers ; and at eleven o'clock same night, being suddenly enveloped with a dense fog, struck on a rock in Jack's Sound off Milford Haven, and in less than half-an-hour went to the bottom. The cargo is en tirely lost; but it gives us inexpressible pleasure to add that, with the exception of an old man, a dealer in pigs, who is supposed to have fallen asleep in the forehold, the passengers and crew (upwards of 50) were rescued from a watery grave. Shortly after the Queen had struck, a coasting vessel, named the Hope, most providentially hove in sight, and, with the promptitude and humanity which distinguish British sailors, came to the rescue just in time to save all lives on board (with the one exception above mentioned). The vessel foundered in less than five minutes after. Amongst the passengers who are indebted to Providence for this timely rescue, were Mrs. Latouche and family, of Marley ; the Rev. Doctor and Mrs. Handcock ; Mr. Hare, of Bristol; Rev. Mr. Bredan, Mr. Crosbie, and many others, whose names we have not been able to as certain. They all reached Milford in safety. THIRD EDITION. Standard-qffice, Three o'clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, THIS DAY. (From Messrs. R. Makin & Sons' Circular.) During the past week, the arrivals into this port con tain principally, a fair supply of Malt, Oats, and Oatmeal, Coastwise and from Ireland; but of Wheat and other Grain the receipts are inconsiderable, and of Flour very moderate, as will be observed on reference to the particu lars below. With as favourable harvest weather as possible for the last eight days, a large portion of the Wheat crop in this district is already secured in good condition, of which an abundant show of samples were exhibited to-day, mostly of excellent quality and in dry order, which being met by a fair demand, the sales of red were effected at 7s. to 7s. 3d, and white at 7s. 3d. to 7s. 6d. per 701 b.: a few small lots of Irish new also were disposed of early in the market on similar terms ; whilst all descriptions of English, Irish, and Foreign old, were in very limited re quest at a decline of 2d. to 3d. per 701bs. from the rates of this day se'nnight. English and Irish Flour was taken off rather less freely than heretofore, at a small abatement from our last cur rency ; and for a little Irish New 435. per sack was ac cepted : States and Canadian, however, from the short supply at hand, were held at late prices. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, continued to meet an extremely difficult sale, and each may be deemed ls. per qr. cheaper. Oats remaining nearly without enquiry, receded in value fully ld. per 45 lbs. In Oatmeal likewise very few transactions occurred, the holders refusing to submit to any decline from the re duced rates of Friday.

SHOCKING A CCIDENT. —AS the Forester coach was passing along the road at Four-post on wednesday morn ing, a four-wheel chaise, in consequence of the horse becoming restiff, was driven in the way of the coach, and a collision took place, by which the chaise was broke to pieces, and a lady, a relative of the Rev. Mr Poynder, was thrown out and unfortunately had her leg broken.—Hants Independent. DIS'FRESSING EVENT.—On Thursday night a dis tressing event happened in one of our herring boats. When about returning to land, a fisherman, named Richard Robertson, while doing something about the mast or sail of the boat, lost his balance, and, in falling overboard, was caught hold of by another of the crew, Alexander Baxter, but he was unable to save him, and, in the generous attempt to do so, was also dragged into the sea, and both perished.—Aberdeen Paper. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—The inhabitants of North street, Lambeth, were alarmed on Sunday evening by a loud noise, which was ultimately found to proceed from the residence of a poor man, situate No. 4, James-place, North-street, the ceiling of which, with part of the roof, had fallen into the bedroom. In bed was the youngest child, which was miraculously saved. Had it been two hours later, other branches of the family would have been in bed, and nothing could have saved them from instant death. As it is, the damage of the house, and the entire destruction of the poor man's stock in trade, is the extent of the loss; THE L ANCASHlREWHEELER.—OnTuesday,theLanca shire wheeler, from Oldham, undertook a journey from Oldham to Liverpool, a distance of 43 miles, with his wheel-barrow, containing a bag of cotton flocks, weigh ing 2331b5. He started from Oldham at ten o'Clock in the forenoon, and arrived in Liverpool on the following evening. There were hundreds of spectators present to see him off; likewise in Liverpool to see him come in. He was gaily adorned with ribbons all over his arms and cap : he had a sign-board in the front, bearing the follow ing inscription :—Ralph Kershaw, the celebrated Lanca shire wheeler from Oldham, and carrier to all parts of England." REVISING BARRISTERS ON THE NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —The following appointments have been made by Mr. Justice Wightma , i North Lancashire Borouohs.— Stephen Temple, Esq. South Lancashire,—Henry Law rence, Esq. ; Richard Matthews, Esq. South Lancashire Boroughs,—T. H. Marshall, Esq.; the Hon. Richard Denman. Cumberland and Westmorland,—J. W. Har den, Esq. ; Frederick Pollock, Esq. Yorkshire North Riding,— Woronzovr Grey, Esq. East Riding,— R. Wharton, Esq. West Riding,—William Gray, Esq. ; Sir F. H. Doyle, Bart.; P. A. Pickering, Esq. Northum berland and Durham,—T. J. Hogg, Esq. ; W. Blanchard, Esq. ; Deacon, Esq. DREADFUL MILL ACCIDENT.—On friday a sad acci dent occurred at the Hollins Mill near Halifax, through one of those machines vulgarly called:" the dole." It ap. pears that a woman (who is a widow and resides at Elland) had newly come to work at this mill ; getting her meals at a house very nearly contiguous. At five o'Clock the little girl of this house (whose name is Harriet Bates) went into the mill to tell the widow woman her tea was ready ; when she was caught in " the dule." The woman boldly attem ted to rescue her from a dreadful death; but " the dule"' proved itself too strong. Both of the unfortunate females were dragged within its iron teeth ; from which only their lifeless bodies were afterwards rescued. So dreadfully had the merciless engine done its horrid work that the body of the girl could not at first be found; until it was discovered literally doubled up in that of the woman. FATAL RESULT OF AN AMOUR.—On Saturday an in quest was held at Knightsbridge, on the body of Mary Edridge, aged 22. From the evidence, it appeared that the deceased had been in service. On Wednesday last, her mistress went out for a walk, but suddenly returned in consequence of the rain. She had not been long in the house before she observed the deceased to be much con fused, and to go several times up to her bedroom. Mrs. Stafford thought her conduct strange, and was going to the drawing-room when she saw a soldier standing behind the door. She fell into hysterics, and upon her recovery, the deceased was gone. On the following morning it was discovered that she had thrown herself into the Serpen tine. Search was made for the body, but it was not found until Friday. THREATENED STRIKE OF THE SOUTH STAFFORD SHIRE MINERS.—The men have served notice on the masters that they will strike work in 14 days, unless they received 6d. a day additional wages. They are at present receiving, on an average, 2s. 3d. a-day, while some few superior workmen are paid 10s. The general opinion is that the contemplated strike is at the suggestion of some few wealthy masters, who have plenty of coal and iron ready for sale, in order that they may reduce to insolvency the small masters, and that they may thus avail them selves of the favourable change that has taken place in the trade. Pig iron has been raised 55., and prepared iron 10s. a ton ; and the orders, especially from Liverpool, are very brisk. In consequence of the stoppage of the Dud ley Bank, and the return dishonoured of many bills, all sales are for cash. LAMENTABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Friday morning week two apprentices to Mr. Carter, grocer, of Cowfold, Sussex, arose at five o'clock, with the intent of amusing themselves previously to commencing business for the day, one of them climbed a plum tree, for the purpose of gathering some fruit, and, while seated on some branches, was desired by his companion to come down. He replied that he should not do so till he had gathered some more plums. Upon which his companion put a cap upon the nipple of the percussion lock, and, pointing the gun at the other, said he would shoot him. This was entirely a joke, it being supposed that the gun was not loaded. The reverse, however, turned out to be the case; for, on the boy pulling the trigger, the contents of the barrel went through his companions head, and he fell from the tree a corpse. The deceased was only seventeen years of age, and the inconsiderate cause of his death two years younger. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.--.. 011 Friday, tha llth instant, a distressing occurrence took place in the bay of Portree, Skye. Two young men, named Nicholson and Matbeson, volunteered to ferry some individuals from Portree to the adjacent island of Rassay. Soon after the individuals in question landed on that island, the two young men again set sail with the intention of returning home to Portree. As the breeze was moderate, all sails were set. Of a sudden, however, an unexpected squall struck the boat. The main sheet had been foolishly fas tened, and in an instant the boat filled and went down by the stern. Matheson jumped at once into the sea, but Nicholson endeavoured to climb to the rigging, as the boat was sinking. He got probably entangled there, and went to the bottom, to rise no more in life. In less than three minutes after the accident, a small fishing boat had reached the place, and picked up Matheson.—Perth paper. - DANGEROUS SITUATION OF A TRANSPORT-SHIP.— The Tory, transport-ship, which left Woolwich on the Bth June last, in company with the Angelina, for the purpose of carrying certain companies of artillery to America, got on shore on the Municonagan shoals, on the 26th July. Fortunately, having outsailed the Angelina, the last-named vessel came up on the 29th, and, after very numerous efforts, succeeded in taking off part of the women and children. 'While the latter were in the boats a severe storm arose, during which the husbands and fathers on board the transports, which were thirteen miles apart, were in an agony of suspense. Fortunately, the five boats conveying the women aLd children reached the Angelina in safety. Many of the women and children were under the necessity of remaining on board the Tory, and, the storm continuing, the Angelina left for Quebec. On her arrival the Unicorn, steam-vessel, was sent to the assist ance of the Tory, and succeeded in towing her to Quebec. All the lives have been saved, and the Tory is not much injured. DEATHS BY LIGHTNING.—On Sunday night week a very vivid flash of lightning was followed by a most tre mendous burst of thunder, as if the very cloud was falling to the earth, shaking every door and window in the houses. About the same time two lads, one eleven years and the other fourteen, who were walking together under an umbrella, on the road between Lealce and Wrangle, were struck by the electric fluid, and killed on the spot. The • youngest was very much scorched about the head, face, and neck, and some parts of his body ; the buttons of his waistcoat were all torn off and broken to pieces ; his neckerchief and shirt were on fire, and burning fiercely when found. He had on a very strong pair of half boots, which were torn to pieces, and thrown off his feet into a ditch; some of his clothes were also torn into shreds, and scattered upon the hedge and road. The elder lad was not so much burnt on the face, but his trousers were rent to atoms, and scattered in all directions ; there was scarcely a piece left, as also his stockings; his shoes like the former ;—even the braces were torn from their backs, and thrown some distance. His shirt was burnt in seve ral places into great holes, and yet their hats were not in jured.—Manchester Guardian. EXECUTION FOR MURDER. — James Ratcliffe, who was convicted at the late Chester _Assizes, of having murdered his wife at Stockport, underwent the extreme sentence of the law in front of the city gaol at Chester at twelve o'clock on Saturday. Several petitions in behalf of the unhappy culprit, had been forwarded, during the week, to the Home-office. They were, however, without effect. The condemned sermon was preached on Friday, and, at its conclusion, the wretched man partook of the sacra ment, and seemed wholly resigned to his fate. He was, however, very restless and disturbed during the night, and was heard more than once to express a wish that his exe cution should take place at eight instead of twelve o'clock. About a quarter after four on Saturday mot ning vast mul titudes of the inhabitants thronged the rows and streets. The wretched man appeared unmoved by the presence of the sheriff and officers, and, after having requested per mission to wash himself, a request, of course, immedi ately complied with, he walked with a firm step to the cart provided for his conveyance to the city gaol. The Rev. Mr. Eaton and a turnkey accompanied him in the cart. When he approached the place of execution he exhibited merely a nervousness which we understand was occasioned by excessive drinking, but, after having entered the condemned celland engaged with the chaplain in fervent prayer, he took off his clogs and stockings and lay down upon the bed for about half an hour, during which he slept soundly. When he awoke he asked for a bowl of coffee, but he was so nervous and his hands so tremulous that the bowl had to be held to his mouth by a turnkey. Exactly as the clock struck twelve he was pinioned and led to the scaffold by the executioneer. All things being ready, the fatal bolt was drawn, and he was launched into eternity, amidst the shrieks of several of his relatives and friends, who had taken up their position in front of the drop. He struggled several minutes. GENERAL MISCELLANY. Lord Stanley, it is said, is to •` keep house" during the vacation ; it being necessary that one of the principat secreteries of state should be a the seat of government. We understand that Lord and Lady Francis Egerton are passing the autumn at Worsley Hall. The Stingo Brewery, situate at Paddington, London, was partially consumed by fire on Friday morning last. The damage is estimated at many thousand pounds. Espartero, and the members of his late administration: have been admitted honorary membeis of the Reform Club. The average price of Wheat for the last six weeks bay ing reached 58s. 4d. the duty on the importation of foreign grain last week receded to 14s. per quarter, below which amount it is not expected to fall. The Presbytery of Edinburgh have refused to eonsider the proposition of the Town Council, to reduce the num ber of ministers in that city in consequence of the late secession. The Rev. Robert Aitkin commenced his labours at St. James's Church, Leeds, on Sunday week, when he preached twice to crowded congregations with his usuai fervid eloquence. We understand that Mr. J. W Allen, who has been so popular with the Art Union purchasers, bas gone into Yorkshire for designs for his next year's landscapes— Atlas. REORGANIZATION OF THE CH ARTISTS.—A DEW Char tist convention, similar to that which existed in London in 1839-40, is about being formed, which is to hold its sittintslibißirmingham. MID 011eibe: 1. 41 11 E . G I STRATION.—The Anti.Corn-Law League have 'ste about 2000 of the conservative elec tors of MiddlestlA;vith notices of objection to their votes, most of which are utterly frivolous and vexatious. During the past week a venerable lady in the 97th year of her age, of Epworth, was seen shearing in the harvest field ; she cut two sheaves of wheat, and tied C',p in a workmanlike manner. Mr. Andrew Doyle, the barrister, who last week mar ried the youngest daughter of Sir John Easthope, Bart., M.P., is the new editor of the Morning Chronicle, (vice Dr. Black,) of which the Hon. Bart. is a principal pro prietor. The Rev. H. Caswall, author of the "History of the Mormons," late of the Amercan Episcopal Church, having been ordained under the provisions of a special act of Par liament recently passed, has been licensed by the Bishop of Salisbury to the curacy of Downton Wilts. On Saturday week in what is called a ladder pit, in Moss Lane, Swinton, belonging to the trustees of the late Duke of Bridgewater, a boy was suffocated by the car bonic acid gas generated there, and several others were drawn up insensible, but recovered. There s now growing in a most prosperous state a crop of oats, beans, and potatoes, sown and set 12th of May, upon a window sill in the Queen's Bench Prison, in a due north aspect, forty-four feet from the ground, without a particle of soil beyond tea leaves. A regatta will take place at Lancaster, on the 12th of September, under the patronage of Lord Stanley and J. W. Patten, Esq., the members for North Lancashire, and ThnmaA Greene and nenres.

On Monday last, Mr. William Henry Hodson, seamen's shipping agent, appeared before Mr. Commissioner Skir row, on his petition to be protected against process for debt, under the sth and 6th Victoria, cap. 116. Mr. Evans, solicitor, appeared on behalf of several creditors, to oppose the insolvent, and, on a short examination, elicited from him that he had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act, in 1836; that his debts then were £lOOO, of which he had paid, since his discharge, £2O. The debts in his present schedule were .£277, towards the payment of which he showed no assets whatever. Mr. Evans then contended that, inasmuch as the insolvent was a trader, within the meaning of the bankrupt laws, and his debts exceeded £3OO, he could not be entitled to pro tection under this act of Parliament, and, that though his person was discharged as to the debts contained in his former schedule, yet the debts themselves still existed, the remedy for their recovery being only altered. Mr. James appeared for the insolvent, contended at great length that the former debts were discharged, unless it could be shown that the insolvent was of ability to pay his after contracted debts, and, in case of a surplus, then that surplus was applicable to the payment of the debts contained in his former schedule, and, inasmuch as that was not now shown to be the case, the insolvent was en titled to his protection. The Le rued Commissioner, however, stated that this was a case similar to one which had recently been argued before him : that he had taken time to consider of it, and been assisted in his decision by three able lawyers; he then had come to the conclusion that the former debts were not extinguished, and he confirmed that decision, by directing the present petition to be dismissed. TO SOLICITORS. Mr. Commissioner Skirrow has decided that, as in all cases, either bankrupts themselves or solicitors on their behalf are required to give notice to solicitors for the as signees of their intention to apply for their certificates, such notice shall be confirmed at the public sitting of the court for the purpose, by an affidavit to be filed upon the proceedings, and not, as heretofore, on the single admission of the service. In all cases, therefore, in future, affidavits must be prepared by the solicitor for the bankrupt, to be exhibited in court on the day advertised for the allowance of the certificate. The commissioner has also decided that, in all cases, a duplicate of the balance sheet shall be prepared, and served upon the solicitor for the assignees, one day succeeding the filing in the court, so that the se veral items may be scrutinized, and any deficiencies or in accuracies pointed out.

MELANCHOLY CASUALTY.—On Friday morning last Catherine Lang, aged 48, destroyed herself by jumping out of a window twenty or thirty feet from the street. When taken up she was found to be quite dead. The only injury that could be discovered was a small wound on her head. Deceased had been in a low state for some time. FIRE IN WALLASEY.—About three o'clock on Wed nesday afternoon, the coach-house, stable, and laundry, attached to the house of Mrs. Jones, was discovered to be on fire, and was completely gutted before the flames could be put down, and a large quantity of oats and joiners' tools were destroyed. It is supposed to have been set on fire by a person who has since absconded, but for whom the police are on the alert. LAUNCH AT CHESTER.—On Monday last, the ship Templeman, 400 tons, was launched in the presence of a large concourse of spectators, from the yard of Messrs. Mulvey, ship-builders, in Chester. She is the finest spe cimen of marine architecture which has been launched for some years from this port ; and has been built to the ' ordeas of Messrs. J Prowse and co., of Liverpool, for the for the South American trade.—Chester Courant. DEATH FROM DROWNING.—OR Saturday last an in- I quest was held before P. F. Currie, Esq., touching the death of Henry Williams, a seaman. It appeared that the deceased went, on Thursday, to the boarding-house of Henry Davies, and, after dressing himself, went out. About half-past eleven o'clock he was seen by a person who was watching the barque Sovereign at the end of the stage that went from the quay to the slip. He was in a. state of intoxication. A plunge was heard, and the per son that was watching the Sovereign ran to the dock gaternan's hut and told him there was a man in the water. Great efforts were made to save him but ineffectually. The jury found that he was accidentally drowned. Tu Tnt.Nz CouNclL.—The usual monthly meeting of our municipal body will be held to-morrow. In the re port of the Finance Committee will be recommendations to exchange the site of the Northern Hospital, to appro priate the tobacco warehouse as a depot for saltpetre and nitrate of soda, and to sell the advowson of the cemetery. I The minutes of the Market Committee contain a recom mendation to close Islington Market, and open that in Gill-street on the 23d instant. The Observatory Com mittee recommend the appointment of Mr. Hartnup, as permanent " Observer," at a salary of £2OO per annum. The Health of the Town Committee will call on the coun cil to appoint two additional surveyors of buildings, at £BO a year each, and will submit a recommendation on the subject of cellar residences in corporation property. The additional bye-lax s on the blowing and stuffing of i meat in Liverpool will be again submitted. The last sub ject on the paper is a notice of motion by Mr. Alderman Smith, to the effect that it is expedient to purchase, at a price not exceeding £4,100, certain property on the west side of Park-lane, tor the purpose of widening that avenue. DOCKCOMMITTEENHURSDAY—Present,Messrs.Sands, Horsfall, Smith, Royden, Tobin, Bold, Aikin, Sandbach, Bulley, Moore, Chilton, Molyneux, Holmes, Shand, Evans.—Reports from the dock surveyor as to the deposit of the excavations on the north shore were read. Copies of them had been sent to Lord Granville Somerset, to the chairman of the Finance Committee, and to the Town clerk. It appeared that it had been alleged that the exca vations had been washed into the river. The Surveyor distinctly showed that this was not the case. He said he had taken care to have the deposit measured, and found that the total quantity put down was 259,544 cubic yards ; of this there remained 258,286 yords, thus showing a defi ciency of only one half per cent., which must have been occasioned in consequence of the settling down of the excavations.—A letter was also read, in reply to the sug gestion of the Finance Committee, that the mud from the docks and basins should be lifted upon the quay, and carried away, instead of being washed into the river again. The Dock Surveyor showed that the adoption of such a plan would considerably impede the working of the docks, and cost about £30,000 annually. Some of the members said the present practice had been continued for a great number of years, and was a good one. Mr. Tobin said that the buoy, which had been placed on the north-west end of West Hoyle by the Trinity Board, corresponded so exactly with the north buoy, that in thick weather ves sels mistaking it, and steering their course from it, would go on Hoyle hank. The Marine Surveyor was called in, and said the Trinity board was requested to put down a floating beacon, but they had not communicated with him on the subject, and in the mean time inform the city of Dublin Steam-packet Company, and Captain Bevis, of her Majesty's mail, of the buoy, and its position. It was stated that the annual accounts would be ready in about ten days and the committee adjourned. ANOTHER CHARGE OF BIGAMY AGAINST MR. NEW TON.—At the Police-court on Friday, Mr. Joseph Newton (whose trial was reported in our last publication) was again charged with bigamy. Mr. Snowball, solicitor, appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Wilkins, barrister, defended the prisoner. Christopher Fox and Elizabeth Waldron proved the marriage of the prisoner to Mary Bolger in May, 1820, and that the latter was still alive. James Bolger, the brother of the first wife of Newton, stated, that his sister and the prisoner lived together after their marriage until the 29th of November, 1821. In cross-examination by Mr. Wilkins, he stated, that the reason why he recollected tu no h t e t h h a en d that day was, because for the last thirty-five years he h a d kept a diary. He admitted that he saw the pri s o ner i n May last, and demanded £6OO, but did not tell hi m un l ess k he no p w aid of the i hie second he marriage would in d f i o c r t h a i m fact,though . He ho did heard of it. He would swear he never threatened to indict him unless he paid the £6OO. He would swear he did not tell either Greaves or Lloyd three months ago that he knew the prisoner was married to a black woman, and that the prisoner was a great fool not to make it up with him. Mr. Lovett, the clerk of St. Nicholas's Church, in this town, produced a marriage certificate between Joseph Newton and Mary Franconi, which t'jok place on the Bth of October, 1828. Mary Teasdale said she knew the prisoner, and was present at the marriage in October, 1828. Mary Franconi was a woman of colour. Dorah Dale said she was the daughter of Mary Franconi. The prisoner and her mother lived together as man and wife after the marriage. Her mother was dead, but cannot tell how long. Thinks they lived together four or five years. James Thomas was then called, and he stated that he saw the witness Bolger about three months ago, when he made inquiries of him respecting the marriage of the prisoner. He also asked witness if he knew of his being married previous to the last marriage. Greaves, one of the police, was then called, and he said he recollected speaking to Mr. Bolger on the occasion of the former charge. Bolger said Newton was a great fool for not making it up, as he could prove that he had married his sister, then another woman, who was dead, and after that another woman. He said this conversation took place the day when Newton was before the magistrates, which was on the 16th or lith of July. He was quite sure on that occasion he told witness the prisoner had been married to Franconi. Police-officer Lloyd corroborated the evidence of Greaves. In answer to a question by Mr. Snowball, the witness said Bolger told him he knew the prisoner was married to two women in Liverpool. Mr. Rushton said, under these circumstances, all he should do would be to require the prisoner to enter into his own recognizances of £2OO, to appear to answer any indictment which might be preferred against him. -..... tution,his fifth I p ec r t . ti LECTURES ON HEAT AND CO MO ----- n t_..i e •• the cored under the head of thelat ter.
