"THY Vortry KINGDOM COME.' BY ELIZA COOK 'Tis human lot to meet and bear The common ills of human life ; There's not a breast but hath its share Of bitter pain and vexing strife. The peasant in his lowly shed— The noble 'neath a gilded dome— Each will at some time bow his head, And ask and hope " Thy Kingdom come When some deep sorrow, surely slow, Despoils the cheek and eats the heart, Laying our busy projects low, And bidding all earth's dreams depart,— Do we not smile'and calmly turn From the wide world's tumultuous hum, And feel the immortal essence yearn, Rich with the thought, Thy Kingdom come The waves of care may darkly bound And buffet, till, our strength outworn, We stagger as they gather round, All shattered, weak, and tempest-torn : But there's a lighthouse for the soul That beacons to a stormless home; It safely guides through roughest tides ; It shines, it saves! " Thy Kingdom come ! To gaze upon the lov'd in death, To mark the closing beamless eye, To press dear lips and find no breath— This—this is life's worst agony. But God, too merciful, too wise To leave the lorn one in despair, Whispers, while snatching those we prize, "My Kingdom come !" Ye'll meet them there SIMILES As bold as an eagle—as mild as a dove ; As true as the moon—as fickle as love. As proud as a peacock—as round as a pea ; As blythe as a lark—as brisk as a bee. As light as a feather—as sure as a gun ; As green as a leek—as brown as a bun. As rich as a Jew—as warm as a toast; As cross as two sticks—as deaf as a post. As sharp as a needle—as strong as an ox ; As grave as a judge—as sly as a fox. As old as the hills—as strait as a dart ; As still as the grave—as swift as a hart. As solid as marble—as firm as a rock ; As soft as a plum—as thick as a block. As pale as a lily —as blind as a bat; As white as a shirt—as black as my hat. As yellow as gold—as red as a cherry ; As wet as the river—as brown as a berry. As plain as a pikestaff—as big as a house; As flat as the table—as sleek as a mouse. As tall as the steeple—as round as a cheese ; As broad as 'tis long—as long as you please. LITE ii.4R Y NOTICES Handy Andy. No. 2. By Samuel Lover. Wareing Webb, Liverpool The contents of this number are similar to what has al ready appeared in Bentley. We find in it the account of the dinner at Mrs. Fay's ; the coroner's inquest on the apothe cary M`Garry ; and Handy's taking refuge in his mother's cabin Ml these circumstances are told in an inimitable style, perfectly original, and lively in the extreme. The il lustrations are excellent : the figure of Oonah in the first is sweetly sketched. This publication will take a firm hold upon the public favour. Ainstvorth's Magazine. Edited by Ainsworth, and illus trated by George Cruickshank. A very promising periodical this appears to be. The editor commences with a story called " The Miser's Daughter," with two illustrations. We are glad to • . Tupper a contributor. His work entitled " ' .verbial Philosophy " has always been greatly admire! .y us ; we look upon it as one of the cleverest and mos ‘, . ginative books of the day. " Uncle Sam" is quaint ! funny. Miss Costello contri butes a remarkable " end of the Monts-Dores." In Mr. 011ier's " Snow .rm" is detailed a deeply-interesting circumstance. Cap n Medwin relates with much humour an incident connec with his " Moustache." " Mr. Buller of Brazenose" e bits his erudition in addressing the editor in seven langu• Laman Blanchard contributes a grace ful poem, as • es also Miss Costello. Several capital wood cuts are interspersed throughout the pages. This periodical will doubtless be successful, and prove an amusing addition to our monthly literature. The price is only Is. 6d. ! yet it contains 61 pages and many illustrations. The Farmer's Magazine—La Belle Assemblie—and The Sportsman. Rogerson, Norfolk-street, Strand. We receive these publications so irregularly, that it is less to attempt to comment upon their contents. The stories for the' most part are continuations, which are per- fedi) , uninteresting to us, not having seen the previous por tions. We do not think it worth while perusing " com mencements," when we are in doubt whether we shall re- ceive the " continuations The Belle Assemble'e contains, besides the fashions, a beau tiful engraving after Chalon. It is sweetly described in a poem of the late Miss Landon's. There appear to be some interesting tales and poems interspersed through the number. The Sportsman is illustrated by two cleverly-executed en gravings—" The Intended Meal," and " Going to Meet the Difficulty." The first is by the celebrated Alken—the se cond by Armfield. The Farmer's Magazine is illustrated by two plates : one, " A Short-horned Bull ;" the other, " Mercury, a celebra ted Hunter." We can recommend this publication to the notice of the farmer. The contents are truly valuable. Rambling Recollections of a Soldier of Fortune. By W. H. Maxwell. Curry and Co., Dublin; Walmsley, Li- verpool The talented author of the " Stories of Waterloo " has reappeared upon the stage of literature in the present volume. His abilities as a raconteur have been admitted by all who have perused his works. His reputation will not suffer by the present venture. The mode in which the stories are introduced is novel and good. Some travellers being de tained at the home of the soldier, by a storm, to lighten the time they take upon themselves to narrate some passage in their lives. There are eight stories in all, and four spirited illustrations, with a portrait of the author. "My First Steeple Chase " is admirably told, and we shall endeavour soon to make room for it. " The Deceased Pluralist " is a fearful exhibition of the state of Ireland a few years ago. " The Tour—not Sentimental," will produce hearty laugh ter. MacDermott's reflections upon " things in general " are odd enough. It will be noticed that this work emanates from the Dublin press, and is published by Messrs. Curry. It does them great credit. We can recommend this amusing book to all who wish for a few hours' agreeable reading. Faith and Works : the former does not per se necessarily produce the latter. Painter, Strand, London. The tendency of this pamphlet is most unscriptural. The author, or rather the compiler, evidently is not acquainted with the subject of which he treats. A man who can delibe rately write about " acquiring" faith, is not likely to be able to know whether or not that inestimable " gift" be really productive of good works. Had the compiler been content with allowing the extracts, which be has selected from seve ral dignitaries of the church, to speak for themselves, we would willingly leave the decision of the question he discusses in the hands of any unprejudiced person ; but we cannot quietly suffer him, with such apparent sang froid, to pervert the meaning of better informed persons than himself. He is a layman, et ne sutor ultra crepidam. The Churchman for February. Painter, London This magazine might, we conceive, be made more useful if the information contained in it were of a more interesting character. The letters of Mr. Faber are, doubtless, ex tremely valuable, but where so little space is at hand, would it not gratify a " churchman" more to peruse much valuable matter connected with the doctrines and movements of the church? a n d w hi c h cannot b e, a t l eas t so we presume, f or i t is not, given The magazine is calculated to be of essential service, but it Is, notwithstanding, capable of improvement. The Village Churchman is, in kind, a great improvement on its contemporary, but of course the latter will find its way into circles where the former, in all probability never pene trates. There are many subjects of vital importance to the church which we rarely or never see in the columns of The Churchman. The Lyons papers state that great quantities of snow have fallen this year on the Jura, on the country round Bourg, and on w hat is known as th e P ays de Gex. The wolves have been forced through hunger to des cen d f rom the forest of the Jur a, and have appeared in vill ages at considerable distances from their retreats. The road between Lyons and G e neva,- by the Fort de l'Ecluse, has bee n rendered clange- roux from the drifting • of the snow. A HORSE'S CON FIDENCE IN HIS RIDE R. — The confidence of a horse in a fi rm rider and his own coura g e is great, as wa consp i cuous ly evinced in the case of an Arab p ossessed by the s late General Sir Rob ert R. Gillespie, who, being present, on the race-course of Calc utta, during one of the Hin du festi vals, when several hund red thousand people may be assem bled to witness all kinds of shows, was suddenly alarmed by and informed, that a tiger had es the shrieks of the crowd, caped from his keepers : the colonel immediately walled for his horse, and, grasping a boar-spear, which was in the hands of on e among the crowd, rode to attack the formidable ene my : the tiger, probably, was amazed at finding himself in the middle of such a number of shrieking beings, flying from him in all directions ; but the moment he perceived Sir Robert, he crouched with the attitude of preparing to spring at him, and that instant the gallant soldier p assed his horse in a leap over the tiger's back and struck t he s p ear through his spine. The horse was a small gray, afterwards sent home by him a present to the Prince Regent. - When Sir Robert fell at the storming of Kalunga, his favourite black charger, bred at the Cape of Good Hope, and carried by him to India, was, at the sale of his effects, competed for by 'several officers of his division, and finally the Bth knocked down to the priva tes of dragoons, who contributed their prize-money to the . amount of £5OO sterli ng , to ruin this commemoration of their late commander. Thus the charger was always led at the head of the regiment on Cawupore, was usually indulged with and, at the station of salute taking his ancient post at the colour-stand, where the ... of passing squadrons was given at drill arid on reviews . When the regiment was ordered home, the funds of the p riv ates e linoning low, he was bought for the same sum by a relative ours, who provided funds and a paddock for him, where he might end his days marched, and th e soun d : in comfort ; but, when the corps had mar of the trumpet had departed , h e refused el'et, broke from and, on the first opportunity, being led out to exercise, as his groom, and, galloping to h i s anci ent station on the parade, after neighing aloud, dropped d own and died.—Str ith' Horses. MISCELLANEOUS CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS.—The following is the list of the members of the general committee of elections for the present session :—Lord Granville Somerset, Sir George Grey, Viscount Sandon, Mr. Loch, Mr. Wilson Patten, and Sir William Somerville. Lord Abino - er's health is greatly improved ; but his lord ship is still obliged to wear a shade over his right eye, of which he has partially lost the sight. In the event of the noble and learned baron's retirement from the bench, which, however, is not expected at present, the attorney-general is designated in professional circles as his probable successor. OYSTER SHELL MANURE.—Pounded oyster shells have been advantageously employed as a manure on light lands, drilled in with turnip seed at the rate of forty bushels an acre, and this quantity has, in Norfolk, been found equal to eight tons of farm-yard dung an acre. They have also been beneficially used for wheat; four hundred weight of oyster shells and the same quantity of rape dust have proved of equal efficacy. IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE.—WC are informed by the Liverpool Chronicle that the 'Wigan scrutiny is going on in a most satisfactory manner ; that an abundance of evidence has been obtained, and that in a short time Messrs. Standish and Grenfell will take their seats!—'We are very happy to hear all this, and we hope that in a short time the two worthy gentlemen will take their seats, by their own fire-sides, in a comfortable manner ; for they have a very little chance of being seated in the Commons as the representatives of Wigan.— Wigan Gazelle. EARLY DEATH TYPIFED BY A ROSE.—SO have I seen a rose newly springing from the clefts of its blood, and, at first, it was fair as the morning, and full with the dew of heaven, as a lamb's fleece ; but when a ruder breath had forced open its virgin modesty, and dismantled its too youthful and un ripe retirements, it began to put on darkness, and to decline to softness and the symptoms of a sickly age ; it bowed the head, and broke its stalk ; and at night, having lost some of its leaves, and all its beauty, it fell, &c.—Bishop Taylor. NEW COINAGE OF SOVEREIGNS.—We are enabled to state, on the best authority, that all the sovereigns now in circulation will be called in for the purpose of being newly coined. The system of " plugging," and other nefarious devices which have been resorted to, render this step on the part of the Mint indispensably necessary. The new coinage will be attended with very great expense. Some means, it is expected, will be adopted to prevent the recurrence of the dishonest practices which have proved so successful. A party of sportsmen were a short time ago out iu the forest of Othe, near Aix, in the Aube, when one of them, who was unarmed, and beating for game at a considerable distance from the rest, roused a wild boar. Though taken by surprise he did not lose his presence of mind, but hal looed to his companions, and determined to keep the beast in view until they came up. The boar, enraged by his shouts sprung upon his disturber; but having a stout staff in his hand, be struck the animal on the bead and stunned him. He then kept his foe down with one hand, while with the other he got a clasp-knife from his pocket, opened it with his teeth, and, stabbing the boar repeatedly with it, killed him before assistance arrived. The grisly game and its vanquish er were carried home in triumph. THRASHING MACHINE.—A thrashing machine has re cently been constructed at Strathead, near Alford, by the ingenious but unobtusive tenant, Mr. John Mackie. The invention is, in many particulars, altogether new, and the friction is so small, that a man, by applying one hand to cer tain parts of the machinery, can easily put the whole in mo tion. It is driven by water, a small quantity of which suf fices. It occupies but a small space in the barn, and per forms the work to a nicety. The small, but strong water wheel is on an improved and novel scale. This curious and powerful little machine, at the expense of about £7, is the admiration of all who have inspected it ; and, as one of su perior power could nut:be constructed on the same principle, it is well worthy the notice of the public. The ingenious method, too, of constructing the dam and water-fall, upon ground nearly level, is not a little admired by the numerous visitors. THE BOY JONES.—This youth who acquired notoriety by his visits to Buckingham Palace, and whose mysterious ab duction was noticed in the public journals some months since, having subsequently contrived to return to his parents, was in the early part of January placed in a comfortable situation, under a written agreement for twelve months, with Mr. W. Elgar, a respectable tobacconist at No. 17, Tothill-street, Westminster, and the boy always expressed himself to be well satisfied. On Friday week, however, the boy left his master's service, and was not heard of until the Monday following, when the father ascertained that the boy had been decoyed away by a man of the name of James, and placed on board her Majesty's ship Warspite, about to sail for America. It remains to be discovered what motive actuated those who have induced him to leave his home. THE WHIG LEGACY.—An official document laid before Parliament. gives a striking illustration of the quality of whig finance, and as strikingly illustrates the nature of the " le gacy" which Lord John Russell boasts of having left to Sir Robert Peel. The return alluded to relates to the income and expenditure of the country. Reader, behold and ad mire. For the year ended on the sth of January, 1841, the excess of the public expenditure over the income was no less than £2,101,369 2s. id.: the net income having been £48,084,359 18s. 4d., and the expenditure £50,185,729 Os. sd. But this is not all. The whigs have made an addition of be tween twenty and thirty millions to the national debt, one way and another ; they have caused a large increase in the floating debt; and have lent out to commissioners, for the feeding of whig jobs, large sums of money, which will not come back for many, many years to come, if they ever come back. Heavy sums have also been expended in India, China, Egypt, and Syria, not yet brought to book. A JUNGLE SCENE.—As they penetrated deeper into the woods, the gloom became more intense, and the deep silence of solitude more imposing. It almost inspired them with a feeling of awe. Not a bird, not even an insect, was heard. It appeared as if no living thing had ever disturbed the soli tude of the primeval forest. And yet there were occasional traces of life. The tall rank grass, which grew up to the height of ten or twelve feet, was in many places trampled down by the wandering herds of wild elephants ; several recent footmarks of tigers might be traced along the sandy path ; and once or twice a jungle-dog was seen Ito glide across the road, with the drooping tail and stealthy pace which indicate the prowling savage. Here and there an occasional opening in the tree tops varied the monotony of the scene, exhibiting a gorgeous view of the mountains. Their stupen dous crags, hanging woods, and sparkling waterfalls, backed by a sky of deeper blue than even Italy can boast, formed a striking contrast to the sombre gloom of the forest, ar►d made the panting travellers sigh for the fresh mountain breezes which they had so lately left.—Old Forest Ranger, by Captain Campbell. NOBLE WILLS.--The Duke of Cleveland, has left nothing in his will, which he had it in his power to alienate, to the conservative heir of his honours. The new Duke has only the entailed estates, which may be worth about £50,000 per annum. In these are included the great bulk of the Shrop shire property and Raby Castle, in Durham, with the domains immediately adjoining that princely seat. But the main territory in Durham, being one of the very finest possessions in England, and comprising the northern banks of the Tees for nearly thirty miles, has been severed from the dukedom, and divided among the younger branches of the family. Newton House, and the whole of the Yorkshire manors in that vicinity, worth £lO,OOO a-year, and to be left to the Duchess. The duke's two younger sons are left £40,000 a-year between them. The Earl of Westmoreland has made a still more singular disposition of his property. The new earl takes nothing with his titles but Apethorp, and the entailed estates adjoining that vast but dilapidated Castle in Northamptonshire. The unentailed lands in that county, the whole Somersetshire estate, the mansion in Grosvenor square, with all the personality, including the furniture and pictures at Apethorp itself, nay, even, it is asserted, the dia monds of the present earl's mother (Miss Child, the sole heiress of the great banker), are left to the old lord's daugh ter by his second marriage, the Lady Georgiana Fane. No notice whatever is taken in this will of the daughter by his first marriage, the Countess of Jersey—who probably ex pected at least to have her mother's jewels. Lady Georgi ana becomes thus a great heiress—probably the second in the country. THE " CHRONICLE" AND THE STARVING POOR.—Some radical of Wigan, who is almost as correct in his information as Murphy is about the weather, has sent a long yarn to the Chronicle, stating that, " by a most iniquitous law," the operatives of this town are " half of the whole number un employed ; the other half with only partial work, at starva tion wages." We know that numbers are out of employment, and also that many of the operatives are badly paid ; but we fearlessly deny the statement of the Chronicle, although it charges us with " brazen effrontery," because we dared to contradict the radical falsehoods which are sent, for fallaci ous purposes, to the Liverpool and Manchester papers. We like to hear the pretty expressions of our contemporary, about the brawny muscles of an English operative being em ployed in sweeping the streets ; but we think his compliment to us would have been far more appropriately paid to the mill-owners, who contracted with the whig poor law commis sioners to send the brawny fellows by wholesale from the agricultural districts, in order that they might be comfortably sweated down in factories ! The vile aspersions on the relief committee are as utterly unfounded as they are unjust. The base attempts made to check the stream of philanthropy, and turn the hearts of the poor against their benefactors, are worthy of the source from whence they spring. We know that great distress has existed, and does still exist in our bo rough ; none regret it more than ourselves, and none are more ready to alleviate it than the conservatives, who, we trust, will never withdraw the hand of charity in consequence of the foul attacks of radical calumniators.— Wigan Gazette. VOL A L'AMERICAINE.—A hearty old farmer's wife, re siding in the vicinity of Choisy le Roi, had just come out, on Saturday, from the Bank of France, where she had received a sum of 800 f., when she was accosted by two individuals who, by means of that stratagem so often exposed, and which, one would think, was now thoroughly . " blown upon," succeeded in dragging her into a cabaret, where they exchanged her mo ney for a padlocked leathern bag, containing a rouleau of sous instead of double Napoleons ! The two fellows then made some excuse to go out, and of course never returned. The poor dupe had no other remedy than to apply to the com missary of police. One of the thieves was captured on the same evening under circumstances of a very curious nature. An inspector of police perceived two individuals in close con versation with a countryman, and suspected that they wanted to rob him. He followed them, and saw them enter with their dupe into the shop of a wine-seller in the rue Notre Dame des Victoires. After waiting a little time the inspector desired the man of the house to inform the stranger that one of his countrymen was below. On his appearing, the inspec tor warned him of the trick which he suspected the two sharpers were about to play upon him, and requested him to change his money with them without hesitation, and to come out at the same time as they did. On the two sharpers and their victim descending the stairs, one of them was instantly collared by the inspector, the other escaped. On being taken to the police station, he was recognised as an old thief, and moreover as one of the fellows who had stolen the 800 f. be longing to the farmer's wife. He was accordingly com mitted to " durance vile."—Gazette de Tribunaux. SPAIN AS IT is.—The Augsburph Gazette of the , lth inst. contains the following piquant article upon men and things in Spain at this time :—" Three men at this present moment govern Spain—Linage, Marliani, and Aston. Espartero sleeps the greater part of the day or plays at cards in bed. Ile is of a weak and delicate constitution. Linage, Marliani, and Aston are intimate with one another, and the two former, goaded on by the latter, are the declared enemies of France. Linage, because he thought himself offended by the sending of an officer to the head-quarters of Espartero by General Sonit, for the purpose of accompanying the head-quarters as a French Commissioner. Marliani is offended because the French Government refused him his exequatur as Consul- General at Paris. Aston, as an Englishman, is animated by the spirit of Lord Palmerston. Marliani, the most active of these three men, is of Italian origin : he has been inti mate, on the one hand, with the Court of Spain, and on the other with Zea Bermudez, and also with Mendizahal; and thus may be seen to possess a sort of chamelion nature and spirit of boldness and audacity. The predominant features in the Spanish character are indifference and indolence ; and indifference and indolence have ruined Don Carlos. The double nature of the Spanish laisser aller is very clearly visi ble in the work of Prince Lichnowsky. Espartero, on his own side, is the very incarnation of coldness and indolence—. a hermaphrodite nature— vl a L crea F t o u r born so remetime of m e th h e e a w b a s s olute m onarchy of Ferdinand dis posed to treat with . and in that caseDonCados,hatlD he wouldonCarl haveoseffectedhaand entry into Madrid , e r x e b t r e a l s o rdi shot n in a r y favour avarice o f D f o g n u e C e a n d c o s h , r s a t k i in na a w d h v e t h i t a w g e a s o f t t h h e e Christinosand at the in the army.

DREADFUL DEATH. — An inquest was held at Corsley, on the 7th instant, on the body of Hannah Singer, aged 14, who suffered from a tumour, situated externally on the throat, and which appears to have made sufficient pressure on the windpipe to cause suffocation.—Bristol Standard. • -PERATION OF THE CORN LAws.—Since the present corn-laws came into operation up to December last, the quantity of foreign wheat entered for consumption amounted to 13,626,315 qrs., and the duty paid thereon has averaged ss. 3d. per qr. ; that portion of it entered the past year was to the extent of 2,306,766 qrs., and on this the rate averaged 3s. sd. per qr. FLEET PRISON.—This prison was built on the small river Fleta, now arched over, and used as a common sewer. In the reign of Henry VII. this river was navigable to Holborn bridge, and the obelisk in Fleet-street denotes the extent of it in 1775. The prison for debtors was founded as early as the first year of Richard I. It was the place of confinement for those who bad incurred the displeasure of that arbitrary court, the Star Chamber ; and persons are now committed here for contempt of the Court of Chancery. This prison was burnt down by the prisoners, June 7th, 1780. DEATH FROM THE EXTRACTION OF A TOOTII.—A few days ago a young man in Edinburgh having had occasion to have one of his teeth drawn, went to a dentist for that pur pose. On the operation being performed, a violent hemorr hage immediately took place, which it was found impossible to stanch, and the young man actually bled to death. Cases of this kind, we are informed, are by no means unexampled, and persons of a hemorrhage tendency ought to be peculiarly careful of having recourse to the extraction of their teeth, in almost any circumstances.—Glasgow Constitutional. Portions of the royal christening cake have been presented, by the command of the Queen, to nearly 200 of the leading nobility and her Majesty's illustrious relatives, enclosed in white boxes, upon the covers of which is the following in scription, surmounted with the Prince of Wales's feathers, and the motto " Ich Dien :"—" In honour of the christen ing of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. January 25, 18-12." The boxes are very tastefully ornamented, and edged with silver. We have heard, on what we consider good authority, that a reinforcement of 5,000 troops is to embark for India, with the least possible delay. We hope the report is well founded, for it seems perfectly clear to all experienced soldiers that even three times that number would not be more than the necessity of the case appears to call for. On the other hand, Sir Wm. Parker is said to have declared that a similar aug mentation of seamen and marines is imperatively demanded for the China expedition.—United Service Gazette. The Bristol Journal states that a deputation from the mer chants of Bristol, the Great Western Railway Company, and the Great Western S4eam-ship Company, with memorials from those bodies, on the subject of the establishment of mail communication between Bristol and the south of Ire land, consisting of Mr. Charles Russell, M.P., Mr. Savage, Mr. Harding, Mr. Guppy, Mr. It. L. Jones, Mr. C. A. Saunders, Mr. Brunel, Mr. W. 0. Hunt, and Mr. Robert Osborne, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, on Wednesday [week], at official residence in Downing-street. The people of Milford are taking the alarm. WAR WITH ENGLAND.—CREOLE QUESTION.—TO the unsettled points with England we now add the Creole ques tion, one of the most excitable of any in the south. We have now the following knotty points to quarrel about :- 1. The N.E. boundary question—Maine and part of New . . England. 2. Canada burnings and revolution—Western New York, &c. 3. African seizures—Commercial seaports. , 4. State Debts—The repudiating States. 5. The North West Territory—Western States 6, Creole case—Southern States. Here is as pretty a kettle of fish as ever was caught on the Grand Bank, and if a war with England can't be got out of so many questions, we shall give up ship, and cry " enough" at once.—New York Herald. NEW CHURCHES.—Ten new churches are now building in various parts of London, of which two are completed, and only await the consecration of the bishop. Those finished are the new church of St. Saviour's, Southwark, and the church on the grounds of the Charter-house, in Goswell street. New churches in Gordon-square and Knightsbridge are in a forward state. Two are building in Bethnal-green, one at Camberwell, another in the New Kent-road, one at Chiswick, and one in the Roll's Liberty. The new places of worship will accommodate 15,000 persons. Intmost of the above districts new schools are being erected for the educa tion of the children of the poor, and will be opened with the churches. CORN-LE,IGUE RIBALDRY.—The Sun of Thursday re ports what is called a " great" meeting of the Anti-Corn- Law Delegates in London. In the list of these personages are above a hundred men calling themselves, by a prostitu tion of the word, " reverend !" In the course of the pro ceedings several allusions were made to sacred subjects ; one of them, from Pope's Messiah, "0 spring to light, auspici ous Babe be born !" introduced in reference to the Corn Bill, was followed, the Sun tells us, by "immense cheering and laughter," another, a stanza quoted from a hymn used in many dissenting meetings, _ _ " Come hungry - , come thirsty, come naked, come bare, " You can't come too filthy, - Come just as you are," was received with "shouts of laughter," and we do not find that one of the reverend agitators ventured a word of reproof at the gross impiety of the speakers, or of indignation at the use made of the poetry which is mixed up, in their chapels, with their devotions (?) Out upon such canting knaves! SHOCKING AND MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. SUPPOSED CHILD MURDER.—On Thursday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, a cab was driven up to the entrance of the Queen's Lying-in Hospital, New-road, and in it were two females, Mrs. King and a fine young woman about 20 years of age, named Susan Howard, both of whom had for some time past lodged together at a house in Davies-street, Berke ley-square. The matron made her appearance, and it was intimated to her by Mrs. King that her companion was in labour. After some little hesitation about receiving her, as she was not provided with a ticket, she was at length ad mitted, and conducted into one of the rooms up stairs. She seemed in a very weak state, apd was assisted into bed, when the attention of the midwife was directed towards a bundle which she brought with her into the establishment in ques tion. She was asked what was in it, and the reply she made was, "Oh ! that's the child." The bundle was opened, and in it was found a fine newly-born male infant, dead, and having in its throat, just below the left ear, a deep and jagged wound.—London Times. BERLIN, FEB. 6.—The protest of the Porte against the in stallation of Bishop Alexander of Jerusalen, which was caused by French intrigue, has been withdrawn in conse quence of the united representations of the Prussian and Bii tish cabinets, through Lord Aberdeen, who signified to the Porte, in the course of last month, that it was not the inten tion of the British government that the Bishop of Jerusalem should enjoy greater privileges than any other subject of the Queen of Great Britain. Thus the distrust which was raised in the Sultan's mind by the remonstrances of the catholic powers has been removed, and the changes, of which the bi shop's appointment is but the commencement, may proceed. You have no doubt heard that Konigsburg is about to be made one of the strongest fortresses in Prussia. This measure is highly popular, as indicating a greater separation from Rus sian interests. The last ukase published by the Emperor of Russia, confiscating all catholic and Greek church property, will have serious consequences. Such a violation of sacred rights on the part of a power which desires to be considered the protector of legitimacy in'Europe, must meet with gene ral disapprobation, particularly when contrasted with the conduct of our King, who, by maintaining their equal rights, is endeavouring to reconcile all sects and parties. THE WINE TRADE.—FALLING OFF IN THE CONSUMP TION OF FORT.—The annual circular of Messrs. Shaw and Maxwell, wine merchants, for the past year, states, that '• owing to the generally depressed state of trade in this coun try, and in all parts of the world, the consumption of wine has fallen off within the last year upwards of 300,000 gallons. A very remarkable change has taken place in the use of Port, which fifty years ago constituted 70 per cent of all wines con sumed, but has fallen to little more than 32 per cent. Sherry on the contrary, has risen from 16 to upwards of 40 per cent. French wines are gradually becoming better known, and last year there was an increase of seven per cent, the greater part of which consisted of Champagne, and various cheap spark ling wines under that name ; but many of the light agreeable second and third growth red wines, as well as the finest first growths, have taken the place of Port. Madeira has fallen about two per cent, and, notwithstanding that there are now very fine old wines to be had, does not regain its former re putation." Rhenish has fallen 15, and Marsala risen six, per cent. Cape has fallen five per cent, and it was only the temptation of paying only half the duty of any other wine that induced the importation of a single pipe. Of the half million gallons that paid duty, a large proportion was sold as Sherry. The nature of the charge upon which a bill of indictment was found by the grand jury at the Old Bailey last week against Lord Ashburton, Mr. Francis Baring, and Mr. Humphrey Mildmay, is stated by the author of the Bankers' Circular to be as follows :—The bill was preferred by Mr. Thomas Kinder, whose speculations in mines are stated to have been upon as extensive a scale in South America as the celebrated Mr. Thomas Saunders Cave's were about the same period in mines .n Cornwall. " Mr. Kinder brought out the Beal del Monte Company, whose shares of £4OO each were in 1825 current among men of property, at about ten times that sum. They are now worth £3 or £4 each. Mr. Kinder, however, cleared a large sum by them, which, we conclude from what follows, has been entirely lost. Sub sequent, we believe, to the realization of this profit, Mr. Kinder was in Mexico, where he met with a son of Lord Ashburton, and conjointly with him entered into purchases ofland in that country, which caused bills to be drawn to a considerable amount on the house of Baring and Co., London. These transactions, which occurred at least 15 years ago, have been the subject of litigation in our courts of law. Messrs. Baring (the old firm) hold a judgment-bond of old date for a large sum against Mr. Kinder, which has not yet been satisfied. We believe we do not go too far in laying it down, that any man, with or without just ground, may indict, or cause to be indicted, other men for a conspi racy, with a fair chance of having a " true bill" found against them, if the proceeding is conducted with suitable instruments and befitting skill. We have stated a fact which may have suggested this proceeding; and. without pretending to be fully acquainted with the circumstances which have, in their opinion, justified the grand jury in finding the bill, we h ave no doubt that Messrs. Barings and Mildmay will treat the affair with contempt—so far as it may be supposed to affect their characters. The fact of the unsatisfied judgment debts shews the animating motive for proceeding criminally in a case which is fit only to be determined in a court of civil law." THE LATE DUBLIN ELECTION.—REASONS FOR THE DE FEAT OF THE RADICALS. — The following extract from a let ter from the Dublin correspondent of the Northern Whig, assigns some curious and interesting reasons for the defeat of Lord Morpeth :—" Let me honestly tell you the plain truth, that we should have won the election, had it not been for the unprecedented bribery of a section of our own party ! This is a shameful confession—it is humiliating—but it is true ; and I see no reason why the truth should be concealed. We had funds plenty. We had an acknowledged majority on the gross constituency of more than 200 votes. We had everything in our favour, and we would have won the city, in despite of every opposition, had it not been for the perfidy of some of our own party—of some of the ward clubs, to whom much was entrusted It has broken down our spirits —it has bowed us to the dust—it has humiliated and dis graced us—with all the materials for success among ourselves, thus to owe defeat, not to our enemies, but to a section of our own party. One fact I will mention to you :—There were but few taxes unpaid on the liberal side ; and on Mon day evening last, the ward clubs were supplied with as much money as they required, to pay th e outstanding taxes i n eac h ward. This money was not appl i ed to the purpose for which it was given; and, on Wednesday, when it was painfully found th a t some o f the ward clubs were not bringing up their men, inquiry was made, when it turned out that they had not applied the money as originally intended, nor had they any intention of doing so. The consequence was, that, as it was useless then to refuse, the committee liberally came forward, and a ga i n supp li ed the money ; an d y ou ma y judge of the ex tent to whi c h thi s per fidi ous d e f a l ca tion was carried, when I mention, that from one o'clock, yesterday, to four o'clock, there was paid into the Paving Board for the outstanding arrears of the pavi ng t ax a l one , £7OO !—Another man was entrusted with £lOO ; and when called on to account for its application, did so to the extent of one 3s. ! In fact, plunder and perfidy were th e or d er of the day. But l am s i c k o f thi s subject—we have been defeated. Shame—eternal shame — on the recreants who have caused it !" The characle:istie loyalty of the people of Birmingham was manifested in a peculiar manneron Tuesday last, at the parish church, where upwards of a hundred christenings took place the majority of the names of the males being either Edward Albert or Albert Edward. This is a simple but gratifying proof of the old English feeling.—Birminyham Advertiser. POLITE INVITATION.-At the late election at Shaftesbury, England, an Irishman made his appearance, and happening to say something in the crowd to the candidates, one of the Whig party exclaimed from the hustings, " Oh, Paddy,_ now go to the devil !" " I'm much obliged to yer honou Paddy's reply, " sure ye are the first gentleman that has in vited toe to yer father's house since my arrival in England." " was SPREADING OF PUSEY ISM.—Of the 200 resident members of convocation, at least one quarter are tractarians. Of these some follow Dr. Pusey, who, as Mr. Ward informs us, has a " strong feeling against Rome ; " others Mr. New man, who has "no such feeling at all." In one college, where there is a considerable number of resident fellows, al most all belong to either the one or the other party ; and at Queens, Trinity, Magdalen, Christ Church, and, I fear, other colleges, there are tutors maintaining the same views. In a college which I have not yet named an undergraduate friend of mine was told by the lecturer in divinity that the English reformation had in his opinion been carried a great deal too far. Of the spread of these opinions among the 1200 undergraduates and bachelors it is difficult to form an estimate. But I have reason to fear that the faith of a de cided majority of the more serious and studious of the youth of the place is seriously corrupted. As a symptom, some have the Roman breviary in their possession, and it was cal culated that on Sunday, December 12, at least 100 of the junior members of the university were present at St. Mary's Church, listening to a sermon which, whatever may have been its object, had all the effect of an artful and dangerous attack on the Church of England—Letter from the Rev. C. P. Golightly. THE FUNDS.—SATURDAY EVENING.—The funds were firm to-day, with a shade of improvement in the quotations, but with not much business doing. Consols for money 89k, and for account 89k to 4. Bank Stock 168 to 9. India Stock 244 to 6. The continued rise in Exchequer bills, which to day stand at 245. to 265. premium, is giving occasion to cer tain speculations on the subject of the inquiries before the commission appointed to examineinto the working of the Exchequer bill-office, and of the motions respectively an nounced in both houses of the legislature on Exchequer bill affairs. The conviction obtains that the claims of innocent holders under the surreptitious issues are not meant to be re sisted, but the reverse. A material improvement may be noted in the prices of Mexican Stock, consequent on the re cent arrangemeat agreed and ratified . between the bondhol ders and the financial agents of Mexico, and on the certain apparent prospect of an early declaration of a dividend. The bonds left off 33 to 4. Colombian 214 to 24. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents were 514 to 4, the 5 per Cents 1014 to 4. Belgian 1024 to 34. Spanish Active with the Coupons 224 to 4. Portuguese Fixe per Cents 32 to 1, the Three per Cents 19 to 4. Brazilian 6.51 to 61. Danish 81 to 2. AWFUL EXTENT OF THE RIBAND SYSTEM.—This town was, during the past week, filled with confusion and alarm, by the arrest of several persons charged with being masters of riband lodges, on the information of one of their own body. Most of the persons taken have been in decent situ ations, and of good character for their rank in life. The person who gave the information has been sent under charge of the constabulary to the castle, and it is rumoured that the disclosures made are really fearful, and implicate the vast mass of the Roman Catholic population of this county, and several other counties, as being connected with the riband system, which is stated to have been in vigorous activity up to the present moment. William Fausset, Esq., provost, hast also gone to Dublin on information connected with this awful system of conspiracy, and is said to have received full and accurate information, from more than one informant, of all the lodges in this province, with the houses where they meet, and the numbers usually attending, and also the rules, regulations, passwords, and object of the society.—Sligo Journal. COLONEL WHITE'S AGENT SHOT.-It is with feelings of the most painful nature we state that, on Thursday night, Mr. David Cullen, of Carrickfad, within four miles of this town, was shot in his own bed-room ; the ball entered under his shoulder, passed through his body, and was flattened against the opposite wall. He has been attended by Drs. Knott and Johnston, and his recovery, though not despaired of, is extremely doubtful. Mr. Cullen had been writing letters in his bed-room, and had undressed when the assassin fired at him through a small slit in the window which the shutters did not cover. It is, we fear, a part of the murder ous riband conspiracy which was about to explode in the country, and it is now freely said, that the person who gave the important information referred to in the preceding arti cle, mentioned that an agent was shortly to be shot, and that not less than 20,000 persons in this country alone, connected with the riband system, were ready to turn out at a moment's notice. Many of them appear to be respectable householders in Sligo.—lbid. That the excessive fluctuations in the prices of corn are not " occasioned by the graduated scale," may be ascertained by any one who will only inspect the parliamentary returns of the prices of grain in this country before the introduction of that scale. The average price of wheat in 1800 was 113 s. 7d., in 1803 it was only 565. 6d. ! In 1808 it was 795., in 1812 it was 1255. sd. The fact is, that the excessive fluctuations in the price of corn, observable everywhere, constitute a prob lem in political economy as yet unsolved. It may be noted as a curious fact—it was brought prominently before the agricultural committee in 1821—that some of our most expe rienced corn factors have, even in years when foreign im portations were hopeless, given up all attempts to calculate prices from the actual state of the crops, even though they go to the expense of an actual survey of the great corn growing districts. How, indeed, can any man calculate on steadiness of price under the operations of an ever-varying currency—now expanding, now contracting , . constant to no thing but alterations iu the value of property.—Morning Herald. TREATMENT OF PAUPERS.—The town of Bromsgrove has again been painfully excited, in consequence of the death of a child in the workhouse, which was reported to have been occasioned by improper treatment on the part of one of the medical officers. The deceased, a lad named Cartwright, was, with several other children in the house, under the care of Mr. Fletcher, the surgeon, for an unclean disease ; and it appears that, as it did not yield to the usual remedies, he di rected that a bath should be prepared with a quantity of potassce sulphuretum : this bath was made so strong that Cartwright died from its effects in three days, and several of the other children were much affected. On Wednesday an inquest was held, when evidence was procured to show that the quantity of sulphuret of potass used was highly irjuc'i cious. The jury returned a verd ict " That the deceased, Henry Cartwright, came to his death in consequence of being immersed in a solution of sulphuret of potassium,' as a cute for the itch ; and we consider the conduct of the surgeon, under whose direction it was applied, as injudicious and neg ligent." We understand that a copy of the evidence has been forwarded to the poor law commissioners.-- Worcester Journal. MAGNETISM a. TOTAL ABSTINENCE . — The Groningen Courant relates the following. curious circumstance :—About four years ago there was received in the Catholic Hospital of Groningen a woman of 26 years of age, named Leantje Ry zelman, who for the space of six years previously had been suffering from complete paralysis of both h er l egs . Sh e h a d been for two years in an hospital at Amsterdam, whence she was dismissed as incurable, and was removed to her native place, where she continued under medical treatment. For the space of two years she took no sustenance, as her sto mach obstinately rejected food. During the interval of a year and a half she bad no evacuation, and her voice was be coming more and more feeble. The patient suffering under this complicated state of disease has been suddenly cured, to all appearance, by a magnetic sleep into which she fell, after having partaken of the Sacrament, which sacred rite her in firmities had, prevented her from observing for three years previously. During this magnetic sleep, and on awaking from it, she felt that she was recovering the use of her limbs, and that the other symptoms of her malady were abating. She is now so far restored as to be able to walk without sup port, and to take food. This fact, in all its details, is attested by medical men, who attended the patient both in AmsterdaM and in Groningen, who observed her malady with the utmost attention, and who have made frequent experiments for the purpose of mitigating the disease, and ascertaining the cor rectness of the patient's statements. THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM'S RESIGNATION.—The Bucks Gazette, a paper supposed to be under the influence of the Duke of Buckingham, thus explains the cause of his resignation :—" The Duke of Buckingham pledged himself to the agriculturists to maintain, in or out of office, such an amount of duty on foreign corn as he considered adequate protection to the home grower. Now, had such an amount been proposed and carried in the cabinet as the noble lord deemed protection, he would of course have assented to it, and remained a Cabinet Minister. The fact of his resigna tion suffices to prove that the reduced scale proposed was not protective in the duke's estimation, and therefore he re signed. The agricultural body have much to regret in this result, for it augurs no good to their interest, by which the duke has stood unflinchingly and consistently since he first commenced his public career. We shall not speculate on the precise objections made by his grace on the scale proposed, but we may be sure that with his desire to preserve the unity and strengthen the plans of a Conservative Administration, he would have given way had such a course been consistent with his determination to stand by the farmers. And we do fear that when the reduced ' sliding scale' shall be made public, the agriculturists would soon detect the grounds of the Duke of Buckingham's refusal to acquiesce in it." INCENDIARISM.—BIRMINGIIAM, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. A messenger arrived here this morning, at three o'clock, with intelligence that an incendiary fire had broken out on Blow er's-hill farm, at Rowley Regis, occupied by Mr. Edward Allsopp, and requesting that the engines belonging to the es tablishments might be immediately dispatched to the spot. Two engines were immediately got in readiness, and in a very short time were on their way to the scene of the conflagration. On their arrival at the farm, which-they had some difficulty in finding, owing to the darkness •Oftlienight, and the bye roads through which they had to travel, they found that two engines had already been obtained from Dudley, about four miles distant, where the Birmingham and district offices have agencies established. These were playing upon a rick of wheat, which was found on fire, and the flames had gained such an ascendancy before the engines were brought into re quisition, that none of the property could be saved. There were, at a short distance from the burning stack, about eight or ten ricks of wheat, and other grain ; but the wind having most providentially set in from the quarter in which the latter were situated, the sparks and burning straw were prevented from communicating with the adjoining property. There is in cendiary, Mr. a doubt th a t th e fi re was th e act of an Mr. Allsopp having rendered himself obnoxious to certain bad characters in the neighbourhood by defending his house against an attempt at robbery a short time ago, and his pro perty was in consequence threatened, on more than one occa sion with destruction. .DISCOVERY OF A G ANG OF T HIEV ES IN PARIS.—An individual, named Linell, ostensibly a commission-merchant, but suspected of bein g a rece i ver o f stolen goods, was, in in consequence, narrowly watched by the police. A warrant was obtained against him a f ew d a ys ago. by virtue of which he was arrested, without the knowledge of anybody in the house, and a souriciere was instantly stationed on the spot, to lie in wait for any suspicious persons who might present themselves. Ten thieves soon arrived, one after another, laden with articles more or less valuable, and were succes sively arrested, a considerable seizure being made of jewels, watches, clocks, and other commodities, besides a bale of rich stuffs, most of which were found to have been stolen from a commiseur-voyageur, lodging at the Hotel Montes 9uieu. The next mornin g , w h en the preliminary forms of justice had been gone through, a loud ringing at the bell an nounced the arrival of another visiter ! On the door being opened, a young man, in an elegant ball-dress, made his ap pearance. " What does Monsieur want at this early hour?" asked the police-agent. " I wish to speak with M. Linen immediately." " Your business, then, is urgent ?" replied the agent. " Yes (interrupted the young fellow, thinking he was speaking to a friend or accomplice of Linell) ; I want to borrow some money, as I rather outran the constable' at last night's ball." The agent hereupon gave the dandy a gentle blow on his waistcoat, and a sound of metal being heard, the latter was requested to unbutton his under waistcoat, when, lo ! and b e h o ld 1 he was found to be com pletely " cuirrassed" with a l arge silver dish, which he h a d just stolen from a restaurateur's, whither he had gone to break his fast, after leaving the Opera-house. This fashionable thief gave his name Dorfou, and stated himself to be an ar chitect. On being taken to the police-station, he was recog nised as belonging to a highly-respectable family. having for merly been a student ! W e su pp r ess his real name. Some Furious discoveries were made in the house of Linell ; and it has also been found that he had another residence in a dis tant part of the city, where several materials for coining mo ney were seized by the authorities.—Gazette des Tribunaux. STATISTICS OF MUSCULAR POWER.—Man has the power of imitating every motion but that of flight. To effect these, he has, in maturity and health, sixty bones in his head, sixty in his thighs and legs, sixty-two in his arm s and h a nds, sixty-seven in his trunk. He has also 434 muscles. His heart makes 64 pulsations in a minute ; and, therefore, 3,840 in an hour. 92,160 in a day. There are also three complete circulations of his blood in the short space of an hour. In respect to the comparative speed of animated beings and of impelled bodies, it may be remarked, that size and construc tion seem to have little influence—nor has comparative strength, although one body giving any quantity of motion to another is said to lose so much of its own. The sloth is by no means a small animal, and yet it can travel only fifty paces in a day ; a worm crawls only five inches in fifty seconds ; but a ladybird can fly twenty millions times its own length in less than an hour. An elk can run a mile and a half in seven minutes ; an antelope a mile in a minute ; the wild mule of Tartary has a speed even greater than that ; an eagle can fly 18 leagues in an hour; and a Canary falcon can even reach 250 leagues in the short space of sixteen hours. A violent wind travels 60 miles in an hour; sound, 1,142 English feet in a second. oOttiptiig . intelligentr.

The import duties for the week ensuing are advanced upon Foreign '►Wheat to 255. Bd., on Rye to 9s. 6d., on Beans to 18s. 3d. per qr., on Flour to 15s. si-d. per brl. ; remaining upon other Foreign, and on all British Colonial produce, unvaried. Of English, Irish, and Foreign Grain, and of Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland, the arrivals into this port since our return of Tuesday last, are altogether trivial ; 9455 barrels of Stites' Flour, alone, forming a tolerable supply. The development of the plan proposed by Sir R. Peel on the subject of the Corn Laws, and the table of the intended duties being now before the public, produced a considerably increased degree of dulness in the sale of all descriptions of both free and bonded Grain at this day's market. Extensive business, therefore, in any branch of the trade was wholly impracticable, and although in prices no definite reduction can be named, Wheat, and in general most kinds of Grain were apparently rather depressed in value. Good brands of duty-paid States' and Canadian Flour, ho.vever, being less plentiful, were saleable in limited parcels at Tuesday' s ra t es ; b u t i n home made or I r i s h li tt l e or no thing was done. Oatmeal was very difficult of sale and the turn cheaper. MIDDLEWICH CORN MARKET, FEB. 8. s. d. s. d Wlieat, old, , 7516 to --- 9 0 10 0 new ...

Number of Beast 902 ; Sheep 1963, LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 11 The suspense which has for some time existed on the subject of the Corn Laws, has been terminated by Sir Robt. Peel's explanation of the ministerial plan for an alteration of the duty, regarding which there exists a variety of opinions, but according to our view it is not likely to produce any sudden or extensive alteration in price here. It appears to give more confidence to the holders of free Wheat, and if an advance can be maintained, will not operate prejudicially to the importers of bonded at present, bearing in mind the defective crop of 1841. We still think that the result of the speculation must very much depend on the prospects of the ensuing crop, which are at this moment by no means promising. As re gards the ultimate operation of the proposed law, it must, in our opinion, with fair average crops here, cause the prices on the Continent to rule low, and it would not be safe to purchase there, without calculating on the Wheat being subject to a duty of 14s to iBs per qr. on being entered for home consumption in this country, there being no longer the same inducement to hold back for the lowest rate as has hitherto been the case, the importers would prefer paying the current duty, and selling ex ship, to incurring the expenses of landing. It would seem probable that the average will range between sos and 6os, and that importers will very seldom have an opportunity to avail themselves of the minimum duty. At the market this morning, the factors held free Wheat at higher prices, but the buyers were not disposed to pay an advance, yet there were purchasers at Monday's quotations. There did not ap pear to be any transaction in bonded, Barley, Peas, and I3eans remain unaltered in value, and Oats are a slow sale at Monday's currency. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEB. 15 Fine Butters alone maintain their position, and for such, gas to gas is paid. Brands of doubtful respectability are offering miserably low ; some Waterford and Newry, having been ineffectually offered at 7os per cwt. Much misapprehension, it strikes us, exists, re specting Sir R. Peel's modified scale of. Corn duties; but inasmuch as the grand object of the proposal, appears to be, the withdrawal of temptation, to the commission of fraud, we think it will work well. Until, however, the question has been fully discussed, and finally set at rest, and the Anti-Corn Law League, over producers silenced,—no steady business need be expected in the Corn or Pro vision trade. Beef and Pork dull and lower ; the finest quality of the former to the trade at 120 s per tierce; and of the latter at 65s to 70s per barrel. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 11 The demand for Cotton to-day has been to a fair extent, say 4,000 bales, and yesterday's prices have been generally realised ; yet the feeling is not much, if any, improved, though parties are apparently more reconciled to Sir Robert Peel's corn scheme, which mature reflection has enabled many to see and acknowledge as a decided " boon to the country." The sales of the week amount to 27,720 bales, of which speculators have taken:3,ooo, and exporters 1,000 bales, prices close on a par with last Friday's quotations. At the public sale of Sea Islands to-day few buyers attended, and only two or three lots found purchasers at per lb. decline. COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY 14 It is really difficult to report tbe exact position of our market since the disclosure of the Corn Measure, it lies had a downward tendendency. and prices generally veryuneven. Public opinion seems to rule, and that is against any immediate improvement in things, and holders in some quarters are anxious to sell. This again alarms the buyer, and makes him either decline purchasing altogether, or to so small an extent as to give the market a very gloomy appearance. In this way, on Saturday, about 2500 bales were disposed of, and to-day about the same quantity. The market closing heavily at the decline of id on last Wednesday's business. COTTON MARKET. ,-WEEKLY REPORT, In the early part of the week the demand was extensive, both from the Trade and Exporters. and id per lb advance was paid in many instances on the quotations of Friday far American; since Monday, however, the demand has subsided, and prices have de clined to the rates of last week. Brazil and Egyptian are in very limited request, and Surat without change. Of 960 Sea Island, 100 Stained, 700 Carthagena and 330 Peruvian offered by auction to-day, only 110 Sea Island and 10 Stained sold, at prices rather lower than the previous business by private contract; the remainder were withdrawn for want of bidders. Speculators have taken 2600 American and 300 Surat, and Exporters sOO American and 50 Surat. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 4th to the 10th instant, inclusive.
