v ._ . • • . Voettp. ON THE SECOND COMINGS OF CHRIST. Behold! He comes, the Saviour comes, The host of heaven attends; With trumpet and Archangel's voice, The glorious King descends. The trumpet's blast awakes his dead, Immortal to remain ; Then living saints are changed, and join To meet the sacred train. That every blast that wakes his dead, Brings death to all:his foes; The flaming heavens and trembling earth His awful wrath disclose. The cup with indignation fill'd, For blood of martyrs slain, To Anti-Christ is given, with charge— Drink all, let none remain. That Babylon the Great is fall'n, Resounds from shore to shore: Cast, like a millstone, in the deep, She sinks to rise no more. Christ's reign on earth with all his saints, The seventh days' rest explains ; Then comes that never ending weeh— All's new—all new remains. Liverpool. By JAMES PALMER. THE SCOTTISH BEACONS. " On the evening of Wednesday, when her Majesty en tered the Frith of Forth, the magnificent sight burst upon us of beacon-fi res li g ht e d on all the conspicuous Scottish hills, and was imposing iu the extreme. " On the coast around, in East Lothian, in Mid-Lothian, in Linlithgow, in Fife, and Clackmannan, bonfires blazed on all the remarkable heights, all announcing the cordial wel come that awaited her 'Majesty from Scotland and fier Scot tish subjects; while in Edinburgh, the summit of Arthur's seat seemed a blaze of fire, shedding a flood of light over the surrounding heights and the valley below, and giving an aspect of wild grandeur to all its romantic scenery. " It has fallen to my lot to witness beautiful illuminations in various parts of the world. I have seen the cities of Rio de Janeira, of Lima, and of Santiago, lighted up in all their splendour; the city and all the shores of the Bay of Naples, and even the dome of St. Peter's at Rome, but I remember nothing that has made so deep an impression as our passage up the Frith of Forth on this occasion."—Extract from Narrative of an Officer on board the Rogal Squadron. The beacon-fires are blazing high On all the Scottish hills, Tasselling the mantle of the sky — Tinging the mountain rills. What means this blaze so broad and bright, And glorious in the gloom of night? The fox in the far glen was stirred, And started from his lair; Upon her perch the mountain bird Was wakened with the glare. And deemed. on springing from the spray, Her eye was dazzled with the day. A hundred flickering fires have lent Their splendour to the night, And deep the ruddy firmament Is blushing at the sight— Where, at the sunset, all was rest Each hill waves high its fiery crest. Has, as of old, a southron band Across the border sped, And, fast accoutreing, through the land, Do mustering warriors tread ? And is it thus the news of war The nation telegraphs afar ? No bloody sign of feud or foe Yon waving fires have given— Like stars of peace, their rays they throw Across the arch of heaven ; They tell to realms that love her sway, That Ocean's Queen is on her way. Aye ! even now yon blazing peak* Has caught her kindling eye, With heaving heart and flushing cheek, Sbe knows Dun-Edin nigh ; Here Holyrood throws back the glow— Forth spreads and sparkles far below. A nation's pulse is beating fast, And throbbing high for thee; Its eye is strained to catch thy mast Appearing on the sea— And many a loving heart and hand Shall welcome thee to Scottish land. O Lord ! by thee do princes reign— Their power, their pride are thine! Let thy strong arm our Queen sustain, And long preserve her line ! 0, King of kings ! her foes repel ! From force, from falsehood, shield her well! B. * Arthur's Seat. THE NEW TOWN OF FLEETWOOD. We feel happy in being enabled to extract the following from the '✓Manchester Courier, from its account of the Preston Guild, as doing justice to the new and beautiful watering place—Fleetwood. Fleetwood is two hours and a half ride by railway from Liverpool and Manchester : " We find we have omitted to state in the proper place, that of the 5,514 children belonging to the National and other public schools, who were entertained and promenaded during Friday, 190 were sent down by the Preston and Wyre Railway to the new and elegant marine town of Fleetwood, where they were entertained in the most liberal manner, at the North Euston Hotel, by Mr. Kilner, the house steward, in the absence of Mr. Vantini, the spirited lessee. Mr. Kilner considerately extending the same attention to his humbler visitors, so scrupulously observed towards all who visit the hotel for pleasure or sanative advantages, adorned the tables laid out in the assembly-room. with some of the magnificent plate of the establishment, and the children' were in other respects permitted to enjoy a most delightful visit. All this, owing to the admirable regularity and judicious arrangements which mark the internal economy of this vast and truly magnificent hotel, was effected without the slightest inconvenience to the other inmates. " Fleetwood is indeed one of the wonders of the north. Within some five or six years, by the energy and enterprise of the honourable baronet whose name it bears, seconded by agents of integrity and ability, a barren waste has been con verted into a populous and elegant town, that will already vie with any of our English watering places, in point of salu brity and beauty of situation, combined with taste and grandeur of construction, with a prospect of becoming, at no distant day, highly important in a commercial point of view. The single line of the Preston and Wyre Railway— constructed with a view to add another pair of rails when the traffic-of the place shall call for it—is of itself a singular specimen of those triumphs of art over the difficulties of nature that have distinguished the present age, and reflects high credit upon the skill of Mr. Bidder, the resident civil engineer. For three miles at the Fleetwood end, the line is constructed on piles across the low lands of the Fylde, being washed on each side by the waters of the Irish channel when the tide is at the flood, and presenting the singular appear ance of a railway through the sea. Yet, from the massive character of the works the transit is perfectly safe. The next object of attraction is the North Euston Hotel, a truly splendid structure not surpassed, if indeed it is equalled, in extent, accommodation, comfort, or elegance, by any similar establishment in the kingdom. With every luxury that per tains to the most recherche of the London hotels, it has the additional advantages of repose from the bustle and din of a populous city, coupled with a fresh and salubrious atmosphere, and an adjacent country &bonding in attractions to the ad mirers of fine scenery. " We were happy to learn from Mr. Jones, the intelligent and active scenery of the Fleetwood Company, that Sir Ilesketh Fleetwood, with a generosity and disinterestedness that do him honour, has voluntarily given up his family seat of Rossall Hall, for the purposes of the proposed Fleetwood Colleges. This is a noble example, worthy of emulation by the public : and we hope soon to be enabled to announce the establishment of an institution that promises such valuable advantages to the rising generation."

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE GREAT FIRE THIS MORNING. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) We have the painful duty to'record:a calamity which, whe ther as regards the loss of life or of property, is calculated to excite the most painful feelings at the present moment, and will form a sorrowful page hereafter in the annals of the town. As'the fire is still raging over many acres of ground, it is impossible to give, as yet, a correct account of the de struction en masse, much less in detail; but we shall supply throughout'the day, in succeeding editions, such particulars as we may be enabled to gather. The fire originated in Crompton-street, formerly-Wood street, at the north end of - the town near the docks. The three principal streets affected—namely, Crompton-street, Formby-street, and Neptune-street, all nearly opposite the Borough Gaol, 'tun east: and west, between Great Howard street-(in-which the prison stands,) and Waterloo-road, close to the docks. The three streets and their boundaries, east and west.'occupy an area of from six to seven acres, and the whole of that space is even now in, with few exceptions, a mass of fire. It appears that at three o'clock precisely, a watchman named i3arnard Coyle, who was employed to guard the premises of Mr. Pennington, bone grinder and drysalter during the night. He found that fire had broken out in the engine -house, precisely at three o'clock—the fire having'been kept in all night to keep up the steam. He im mediatelygave the alarm to police-officer No. 2-1, who ex• erted himself to the utmost, but before the engines could be brought up an immense quantity of warehouses, and three yards were on fire in Crompton-street. The combustible nature of the premises was such, together with a strong breete from the north-west, that Mrs. Isaac's oil and colour store soon took fire, as well as many small crowded work.- shops of mill-wrightsi smiths, .5c.c., in that immediate locality. The fire next got to " Poole's" bonded cotton sheds, in Great Howard-street, and finally swept to Formby street. The whole of the warehouses in that street were successively ignited, and are burnt to the ground, with a vast destruction of property, and, we lament to say, several lives. The fire-police officer, Samuel Hodgson, of No. 1 Engine, was killed and crushed in the ruins of one of the walls, which fell upon him while he was holding the pipe. 2of the engines were also smashed, and we fear a considerable number of the firemen and others were killed. Several men were carried to the hospital badly burnt or hurt—some of them mortally. From eight to half-past:nine o'clock the fire in Formby street, and in the adjoining cotton sheds (Poole's) in Great Howard-street, raged with an intensity that heated - the at mosphere to a great distance round. Great exertions were made to save the top houses in Formby-street, but those on the north side, dwelling-houses, caughti fire chiefly by the intensity of the fire just below of the burning warehouses, the ruins, and burning materials of which, were piled to the height of 80 to 90 feet—throwing up immense volumes of flame and smoke. From time to time the high walls of the warehouses fell with a thundering crash, and shortly after nine o'clock one man was killed outright by the falling materials. The wall of a large warehouse in Formby-street, which had been on fire some time, and had reached, with the cotton within, almost a white heat, at length fell upon some of the sheds on the south in Neptune-street ; and the consequence in a short time was, that the whole range of sheds at the top part of that street, used for bonding cotton and as cooperages, were ignited. A. great quantity of staves, pules, hoops, &c., were carried out, before and after the ignition, to the neighbour ing vacant:ground. The flames during the whole of the fire were throughout most intense, and at intervals terrific. They rose, on some occasions, apparently to the height of 150 feet, or even higher. The heat and sparks were such that the eyes of the parties near were so much affected that they were obliged frequently to turn away and procure water to wash before they could distinctly see. The whole of the police, including Mr. Whitty, head constable, ;and Mr. Hewitt, of the fire police, were so covered with dust, mud, water, flour, and other materials, and their faces so begrimmed that they could scarcely be recognised by their most intimate acquaintances. At ten.o'clock the sheds and cooperages in Neptune-street, some of them new buildings and full of goods, were in a state of rapid combustion, and little of the property would be saved from them. There was a report that about 30 indi viduals connected with .the engines had perished ; but this will, we hope, be found to be greatly exaggerated. At pre sent no comet account of the loss of life can be obtained ; and even' in the end, the probability is, that some of the bodies, if found at all, will be so burnt and calcined that they may not be recognised. One of the fire-police, John Rogers, (No. 215,) was close to poor Hodgson, of Engine No. 1, when he was struck down by the ruins and killed on the spot. The hose was cut off, as if by a hatchet, by the materials ; and the piece near the pipe (which Hodgson held, and which is buried with him), was scorched to the i hardness of bone. Amongst the warehouses, sheds, &c., burned down, were Poole's two sheds (before noticed) in Great Howard-street, both filled with cotton,lthe:massesi of which, in a burning state, and closely compacted, resembled immense broken *rocks in a state of red beat at every interstice. In Formby- Street there were five warehouses belonging to Mr. Maw, two to Mr. J. H. Rayner, and others belonging to Mr. H. Horseley and Messrs. Waterhouse and Son. In one of the kind warehouses there was:said to be a quantity of saltpetre, and a the of explosion in the f a lli ng o f one o f th e walls favoured supposition. Amidst the destruction in Neptune-street, besides the cott on s h eds, were the cooperages and timber-yards of Messrs. Chapma n and Dean, and Mr. Lythgoe.

It is stated, but we know not as yet with what accuracy, that the Cotton destroyed amounted to about 3:000 bales. Cotton, we may state, formed the great bulk of the property destroyed. Notwithstanding the nne weather experienced durin ; , the harvest, which rais ed the ho p es of the farmer fr om deep ' des it has con tinued equally favourable for the prepari ng t h e ground e ground for next seasons culture.

Standard-office, Twelve o'clock, FURTHER PARTICULARS. The following is, as near as we can ascertain, a statement of the buildings destroyed, and the goods supposed to be de stroyed Rayner's A 309, B 315 ; ditto, C 309, D 315 ; Maw's 4 warehouses, no numbers; Grey's E 228; Grey's C 229; Taylor's 233; Rodgers's 256, two ; 'Rayner's shed, 252 ; Gregson's 319, two; Florsley's two sheds; WE:night's 1 do. ; Poole's two sheds ; Taylor's cooperages and other timber yards. The whole is assessed at an annual value of £3,500. The value of the buildings, exclusive of the land, probably from £35,000 to £40,000. The property which they con tain may be estimated at the value of £300,000 to £lOO,OOO. The principal contents are cotton, turpentine, flour, Sce. The brokers can add up to 20,000 bales; but there must be more. The following is an estimate : £250,000 in cotton. 150,000 in other goods. 35,000 in buildings. £435,000 The following is a correct statement of the buildings burnt, for which we are indebted to the courtesy of Mr. Samuel Holme, who was for a long period on the spot :- 4 warehouses (Gray's) North. Burnt 1 ditto (Taylor's) do. do. 2 ditto (Rayner's) do. do. 2 ditto (Poole's) do. do. 4 ditto (Maw's) South do. 1 ditto (Roger's) "tire proof," now on fire. 2 ditto (Ray - iees) Burnt 1 shed (Rayner's) do. 2 sheds (Horsley's) Neptune-street, now al most burnt. 1 shed (M`Kniglit's) west of the above, on fire. Taylor's cooperage -I Burnt. Molyneux's timber-yard I Cart-houses, stables, a row of about IG houses, and a large mass of property of various descriptions. Seventeen men have been carried to the hospital, one of whom is dead, and three more supposed to be dying, and, probably, 18 to 20 more are buried under the burning piles, together with one of the engines. Mr. line states it as his opinion that the value of the buildings alone which are burnt will exceed £30,000; and we have been informed by several brokers on 'Change that the quantity of cotton alone which has been destroyed ex ceeds 40,000 bales, together with an immense quantity of other foreign and colonial produce. • • • SEUOAii Standard Office, Ealf-past Ten o'clock, a.m. MOST DESTRUCTIVE FIRE, WITH SERIOUS LOSS OF LIFE. We to say that a very destructive fire, attended with moat extensive loss of life, probably from 30 to 40 in dividuals being killed, besides as many more wounded, broke out this morning from half-past three to four o'clock. The flames were first observed in the back part of an extensive stack of warehouses, erected within the last two years, ad joining to which there are several cooperages and timber yards. How the fire originated, it is utterly impossible to ascertain in the confusion existing at the period we are writing. Suffice it to say, that it spread with tremendous rapidity, the power of the flames being heightened by a strong wind which prevailed from the sea. An alarm was given to the police station, and one after another all the engines were sent to the spot under the com mand of Mr. Whitty and Mr. Hewitt. At that moment the flames presented a dense mass of fire, which it seemed almost hopeless to contend against, nevertheless the best disposition was made of the engines for preventing the fire spreading to the surrounding buildings. The prevailing wind, we regret to say, prevented this desirable consummation ; for a cooper age immediately`adjoining caught fire. Shortly before six o'clock the walls of the building where the fire originally presented itself fell, and a most lamentable catastrophe then occurred. Five firemen were instantly buried beneath the ruins. Another portion of the walls fell at a subsequent period, and another body of men, spectators as well as fire men, were buried beneath the burning materials. We have heard that at this moment 30 people have lost their lives. Mr. Whitty had a near escape of being killed, but under the exact circumstances we could not learn. lie is much scorched about the head and face. The other casualties are numerous, and parties are constantly being carried into the Northern Hospital. . The Town-clerk, the chairman of the Watch Committee, and other persons in authority are on the 'spot. The warehouse where the fire originated contained salt petre and cotton. This is the most extenshe fire that has occurred in Liverpool for the last 25 years. The fire being so contiguous to the Borough Gaol, the heat in the interior. as well as the exterior of the building, was tremendous. The lead in front was in a state of fusion, and the wind, being west-north-west, carried the burning parti cles directly over it. At the present moment Mr. Highton, the governor, has stationed men upon the roofs, who are constantly engaged in throwing water upon the parts where ignition seems most to; be, apprehended. At the present moment (10 o'clock), no fears are entertained for the safety of the Prison. On calling at the Northern Hospital at ten o'clock, we were informed that the following was 'the state of the par ties who had been removed there :—John Martin and Luke Smith, dead; one man dying ; Robert Black, skull exten sively fractured, .not 'expected to recover; Superintendent Ridings, of the police, compound: fracture of the leg ; and 18 to 20 more or less - dangerously hurt. Many other cases of a minor nature!have been sent to the hospital, and dis charged, after having their,hurts examined and dressed. THIRD EDITION. VOifferv,, EDITION MISCELLANEOUS. THE NEW FRENCH PROTESTANT C MlCH.—This church which has lately been built as a substitute for the one that for merly stood in Threadneedle -street, is now nearly completed, and will be opened for public service in the course of next month. It is built under the powers of the Charter granted by King Edward VI., in the 15th century, to the French protestant Consistoire, and which, amongst other things, commends the order to the care and protection of the Arch bishops and Bishops of this realm. The cost incurred in its erection, including site, is estimated as between £7,000 and £B,OOO. Two French divines, M. Martin and another, have been appointed to officiate by the Consistoire, in whom the patronage is invested.—London paper. THE NEW STREET PILLAR GUIDE.—This is a plan for the purpose of furnishing, by means of a column with six sides, upon which the various names are inscribed, informa tion as to the residences of the different tradesmen, public institutious, post-offices, cab-stands, police and fire stations in the particular district in which the pillar is placed. It is also provided with finger-posts, so as to point, when placed in a central position, to the principal thoroughfares from that spot. The top is to be surmounted with the Bode light, and at the base is to be a place set apart for returned letters in that district, and for property lost or found. The interior which is hollow, contains a fire-alarm, the keys of which are confided to the care of the police. there is also a repo sitory for tire-escapes, and an aparatus for using rocket signals, so as to telegraph information, in the event of a fire, to the various engine-houses. The titles of the different streets are placed at the top of a column, while the names of the tradesmen, with the numbers of the shops, occupy the sides of the shaft. Several of them are about to be erected in Holborn and elsewhere.—Morning Herald. It is a fact that the arrangements made by the magistrates of Stirling, of which otherwise everything in praise should be said, iccluded a rather novel mode of admitting and re ceiving the Queen into the burgh. An arch having been erected at the boundary (real or supposed) of the burgh with something like the appearance of a barrier, it was natural to suppose that the authorities would he waiting within the barrier, there to receive their Sovereign and tender their fealty. But, alas ! the town's Wright had reared his scaffold on the outer side—that is, beyond the boundary, where the magistrates had no authority at all; and, accordingly, when the Queen's postillions drove up, although they had pre viously got strict orders from her Majesty to stop where the authorities were stationed, they were driving past the bar rier, and would have drawn np on the right side, had not her Majesty herself perceived the blunder, and called out in a sharp voice " Slop! stop . 1 " and it was not till then that the provost discovered be was not in his own burgh at all when receiving the Queen!—Stirling Paper. DOVBLE COSTS AND LIMITATIONS OF ACTIONS.—An act watt passed during the last session, under which some material alterations will be effected in actions at law. The principle of the measure is uniformity in all actions res pecting costs, the pleading of the general issue, and giving notice in cases where notice of action is required. These several matters have been gathered into one form. This act, which came into operation on the 10th of August, all actions from that period under statutes of a local and per sonal nature, repeals the giving of double or treble costs, and in lieu thereof gives costs as between party and party. The second section provides that in all public acts where double or treble costs have been given, in future only costs between party and party shall be awarded, besides all expenses incurred in the prosecution of the proceedings. The next clause repeals the general issue under local acts and in the following—all actions in which notice is required to be given, such notice must be given at least one month before the bringing of such actions. The act further pro vides that all actions under local acts must be commenced within two years, or in case of continuing damage, then within one year after the same shall have ceased. This act does not extend to any proceeding commenced before the 10th of August last, whether action or information. INDIAN MAILS THROUGH FRANCE.—TiIe Courtier Francais announces, that Lord Lowther had visited Paris fur the purpose of making new arrangements for the conveyance of the Indian mail, which was no longer to proceed through France after the expiration of the convention signed by the postoffices of the two countries. " The mails," it says, " will hereafter be landed at Venice or Trieste. This will be highly prejudicial to our country, or by no means advan tageous to the English ; but, although the distance be longer by that road than through France, their correspondence will follow it in preference, in order to avoid the delays and vex ations of every description which their couriers have experi enced in France. Such is the result of the impediments opposed to commercial and political relations by a narrow minded and teasing administration." On the other hand, we perceive by Galignani's Messenger, that M. Dubost, one of the heads of the French post-office, left Paris on Thurs day for London, " This gentleman," it says, "is charged by the government to negotiate a new postoffice treaty on a much larger and more liberal basis than the existing one. The arrangements contemplated in M. Dubost's mission ex tend also, we understand, to the more rapid transmission of the Indian mail from Marseilles, and to the putting an end to the vexatious delays and difficulties which the couriers of the London press have hitherto experienced in carrying their despatches through France." The Lord Bishop of Ossory, , Ferns, and Leighlin, has added his name to the already large number of right reverend pre lates who have spoken in condemnation of the proceedings of the Puseyite party. In his charge to the clergy at his primary visitation of the united dioceses, just concluded, his lordship, after referring to ministerial duties, and to the present con dition and future prospects of the church, expressed his satis faction in believing that there was no need for him to admi nister caution to his reverend brethren who surrounded him against the singularity of dress, and gesture, and posture which one hears from time to time of being introduced by individual ministers, with a kind of apparent conceit, into the service of the church in England. lie was happy to believe that in the dioceses under his more immediate superinten dence, and those of Ireland generally, there was no trace of such fopperies. The system of the " Tract " writers then engaged his lordship's consideration. He proceeded to an exposure of the numerous fallacies of the arguments used by them in support of their views, and contended that they were akin to the arguments of jesusitical sophistry, to which, he said, they could only be compared. BANK OF ENGLAND.—The usual return of the quarterly average of weekly liabilities and assets of the Bank of Eng land from the 18th of June to the 10th of September both inclusive, were given in the Gazette of Friday.

A WATER DOG.—" Does your dog take the water ?" said a gentleman to a rustic, who had a water-spaniel following him. "Why ; yes ; sir, if they put meal in't," was the reply. Agricultural Meetings and cattle shows are now taking place in the south, daily, and increasing interest is shewn in their welfare. " I resolve," says Bishop Beverage, " never to speak of a man's virtues before his face, nor of his faults behind his back—a rule, the observance of which would, at one stroke, banish from society both flattery and defamation." If you wish to get genuine port wine, you must go yourself to Oporto, make your own wine, and then ride a-straddle on the barrel all the way home. The following gallant toast was lately given at a dinner to General Dudley, in North Carolina :—" The ladies—our arms their.protection—their arms our reward." NEW CIVIC HONOURS. — A countrywoman asking the ser vant of one of the magistrates how he was bearing his new honours, was informed that since " the Bailie had gotten a sword, the house wou'dna baud him!" DIRECTIONS FOR SPRING LAWYERS.—Prtine luxuriant actions, and nail up backward clients in a good situation for sprouting.—Make up hot beds by raking up old slander and all sorts of manure that are available.

" Eight ! pooh ! dad always takes his without no scruples !" A sub-editor announces that the editor of the paper is unwell, and piously adds, " All good paying subscribers arc requested to make mention of him in their prayers—the other class need not do it, as the prayers of the wicked availeth nothing—according to good authority."—American paper. In the event of the death of a young Chinese woman under 19 years of age, says Mr. Davis, a paper effigy is made by the parents, and the intended husband receives the effigy home to his house, with the bridal rites, he then burns the effigy, and erects a tablet to her memory. ROYAL WlT.—When One . of the Lords in Waiting pre sented the Queen with a biscuit; his lordship was pitched by a sudden lurch on to that end which is technically called his beam —. Her Majesty, on observing this, requested that further ceremony might be dispensed with, as Neptune was evidently determined upon waving it.—Puna/e. RATHER FREE ON A SHORT ACQUAINTANCE..—The Cin cinnati Microscope says that the elephant one day last week, while the performance was going on, reached his trunk into a lady's bosom and took an apple out, much to the affright of the young lady and the amusement of the crowd. Oh, the muster ! CLEANSING THE SKIN.—In order to enjoy good health, it is as necessary to cleanse the skin of every part of the body as the hands and face. If you once begin to make a rule to wash the whole body at least once a week, either by bathing or otherwise, in cold water, the vigour and hilarity of feeling you will experience will amply repay you for thelabour. Try it a few weeks, it will cost next to nothing. COCKNEY WIT.—Two gentlemen took a boat at Black friars-bridge to go to the Tower. One of them asked the other, who sat beside him, if he could tell him what coun tryman the waterman was. He replied he could not. " Then," said the friend, " I can ; he is a Ro-man." A cockney being told the above said the pun was Wherry good. Dr. Morrison rays, in some provinces in China a public notice is issued by wealthy parents to obtain a husband for their daughter ; this is done by the affluent who are unwilling to part with their child, and who, therefore, bring the son in-law into their own family, instead of the usual practice of sending the daughter from home. A graceless scamp, says the Boston Bee, was recently heard singing the following : " When I can shoot my rifle clear, To pigeons in the skies, I'll bid farewell to pork and beans, And live on good pot-pies." He was alone by himself at the time and returning from an unsuccessful hunt after peeps and sand-snipe. DIGNITY OF GASTRONOMIC DISCOVERIES.—A patriotic Frenchman has observed—" I regard the discovery of a dish as a far more interesting event than the discovery of a star ; for we have always stars enough, but can never have too many dishes; and I should not regard the science as suf ficiently honoured, or represented among us, uutil I see a cook in the first class of the Institute." JUDGES' CIRCUITS IN NEWFOUNDLAND.—UnIess in the winter time, when ice turns the water into a solid road, land locomotion must he carried on afoot ; and a tedious and toil some task it is. Two miles an hour is the mean of walking in Newfoundland. The sea is consequently the great high way ; even the circuits are made round the coast, in a vessel fitted up for all the legal functionaries, from the Judge, coun sellors, and so forth, down to the tipstaff. A DUTCH WITNESS.—The following rich scene recently occurred in one of our courts of justice, between the judge and a Dutch witness all the way from Rotterdam :—Judge— " What's your native language ?" Witness—" I pe no native ; I's a Dootchman." Judge—" NV hat is your mother tongue ?" Witness—" 0, fader say she pe all tongue." Judge (in an irritable tone),—" What language did you first learn ; what language did you first speak in the cradle?" Witness—" I tid not speak no language in to cradle at all; I only cried ha Dootch." Then there was a general laugh, in which the judge, jury, and audience joined. The witness was interrogated no further about his native languagc.—New Orleans Picayune. EXECUTION FOR PARRICIDE.—The execution of Langlois for parricide, took place last week at Forges-les- Eaux, near Rouen. His love of money, which was the motive of his crime, was strong to the last. He was exceedingly anxious about a sum of some thousand francs which he had placed for safety at the register's-office at Evreux. He asked for some brandy when the executioner, with his assistants entered to cut off his hair, and, after drinking several glasses, declared he was ready to meet his fate like a man. He, in fact, did exhibit extraordinary coolness during the whole preparations for his end, walking with a firm step to the scaffold, and hearing the judgment read with great calmness. In less than half a minute after the reading of the document had concluded he had ceased to exist. ANECDOTE OF SHERlDAN.—Sheridan used to say that the life of a manager was like the life of the ordinary of Newgate —a constant superintendence of executions. The number of authors whom be was forced to extinguish was, he said, a perpetual literary massacre, that made St. Bartholomew's altogether sarink in comparison. Play-writing, singly, ac counted for the employment of that immense multitude who drain away obscure years beside the inkstand, and haunt the streets with iron-moulded visages, and sturdy coloured clothes. It singly accounted for the Ilse of paper, which had, exhausted the rags of England and Scotland, and had almost stripped off the 'last covering of Ireland. lie had counted plays until calculation sank under the effort, and every rejected play of them all seemed, like the clothes of a Spanish beggar, to turn into a living, restless, merciless, indefatigable progeny. ORIGINAL ANECDOTE. — A jolly set of Irishmen, boon companions and sworn brothers, had made up their minds to leave the " old sod," and went their way to America. They were five in number—two Paddies, one Murphy, one Dennis, and one Teague. It so happened that the vessel they were to go in could only take four of them. At length honest Teague exclaimed, " Arrah ! I have it. We'll cast lots to. see who shall remain," But one of the Paddies swore it was not genteel to do that thing. "You know, said he, " that I am an arith met i c i an, an d I can Teague," work it out by the rule of subtraction, which is a great deal better. But you must all agree to stand by the figures." All having pledged themselves to do so, Pat proceeded— '. Well, then, take Paddy from Padd you cant, but take Den nis from Murphy and Teague remains. By my sowl, Teague, my jewel, and it's you that can't go."—Derry Journal. LEGAL ORATORY.—The ceiling of the court-room of one of the circuit courts of the United States lately fell in with a tremendous crash, which, fortunately for the bench and bar, happened when there was no one present. The court met according to adjournment, and were about to adjourn over to some future day, as no business could possibly be accom plished amid the surrounding ruin ; when one of the bar ad dressed the court after the following manner :—" May it please this honourable court, I hope the court will not ad journ till the case of Simpkins v. Jenkins has been disposed of. Our witnesses are all ready, and it would be very incon venient for many of them to attend on another day. This little accident, your honours, is nothing.—Fiat Justitia,ruat cesium 1 A PARALLEL TO " THE GRAPES ARE SOUR. u —A field slave in one of the Southern States of the American Union, to whom meat was a rare blessing, one day found in his trap a plump rabbit. He took him out alive, held him under his arm, patted him, and began to speculate on his qualities. " Oh, how berg fat ! De fattest I ebber did see! Let us see how me cook him. Me 'roast him? No ; he be so fat, be lose all de grease. Me fry him ? Ali, lie be so berry fat, he fry himself. Golly, how fat he be ! Den me stew him." The thought of the savory stew made the nigger forget him self, and, in spreading out the feast to his imagination, his arm relaxed, when off hopped the rabbit, and squatting at goodly distance, eyed his last owner with great composure. The negro knew there was an end to the matter, so sum moning all his philosophy, he thus addressed the rabbit— " You long-eared, white-whiskered, red-eyed rat, you not so berry fat arter all !" DEFENCE OF LAWYERS. —He makes law expensive, not from a paltry desire to enrich his own coffers, but from a magnanimous and patriotic wish to prevent the poor man from indulging in hatred and uncharitableness, and to deter the rich by a forcible appeal to their pockets, from a habit of oppression towards their inferiors, and of opposition towards their equals ; therefore let the costs of your legal adviser be.ever so exorbitant, discharge his claim at once, and consider that you have only taken an expensive lesson in morality... If ".the lawyer does promote litigation, it is from the consideration that a country without a chancellor would be little better than .a ship without a helm ; and living in a country with a chancellor, he looks upon it as the bounden duty of every one to prevent so honourable a functionary receiving his money for doing nothing. RISING GENIUSES IN AMERICA.—SCENE IN A SCHOOL ROOM.—Master —" Fuss cl a ss 'n jegrafee !" Scholars— " Yeth'er." Master—" Tummas, what's the bigge st river in Ameriky ?" " The Tombigbee, zar ; Ike keeps a pinchin' on me." "He pincht me first, zar, and I pincht him back again." 1 . 4 Take yer seats ; fuss class in parsin' !"

LOYOLA.—Having thus constituted himself a member of some new and spiritual chivalry, assumed the insignia of the order. They were simple enough, consisting of ragged clothes, unwashed face, unshaven beard, neglected h a i r, and shoeless feet ; he was equally opposed to sin and soap— to vice and vestments—to demous an d decency. He next made an experiment on the art of living without food, but succeeded as badly as Bernard Cavana g h ; At the end of a week of fasting, be was found in a case, where he had sought shelter, by some charitable monks, w h o compelled him to take food. While practising. these . au s t e _ rities, he began to write his " Spiritual Exercises, one of the most singnlar works that ever issued from the , crazed brain of an enthusiast. In this work our Lord Jesus Christ is represented as a belligerent monarch, levying an army of his subjects 'to wage war against his. enemy, the Devil, Satan is described as a Ms less warlike potentate; both organ. ise their r eg i men t s , di s pl a y their, s t a ndards, harangue th e i r troops, lead them to the field, and promise rich.plunder as the rew ar d o f victory.

Some bow or other the potato was introduced into Guzerat, and, in process of time, Bom bay became well supplied with it: so well that the market had ever an abundance at a low price and very rood. This may imply a lapse of twenty years. When the Bengal and Madras armies rendezvoused at Bombay, on their way to Egypt, every transport was supplied with as many potatoes as the captains would take—slung under the tops, under the chains, over the stern, &c. The general in command of the army of Egypt, who superintended all its equipments, although he did not go with it (Sir Arthur Wellesley), was much struck with the resources of Bombay, in equipping and refitting an army, transports, &e., and, among other things, with the unbounded supply of potatoes and tine onions ; and —havit , always both eyes open—it struck him that the po tato might be advantageously grown in Mysore. He con descended to confer with the writer of this mem., who hap pened to know something of the soil, climate, &e., of Mysore and the result was, sending, at Sir Arthur's expense, 500 baskets of potatoes, each weighing 1 fibs, to the residents at Mysore, with instructions as to the distribution of them for seed, the cultivation, &c. Now, it is understood that potatoes are as good, as plentiful, and as cheap in Mysore as in Bom bay or any other place.— Gardener's Chronicle. A WARNING TO GREAT READERS.—Ideas are not trifles to he tossed about like children's toys. They enter our spirits either as conquerors or as conquered ; as conquerors when, with a sickly effeminancy, we surrender our faculties tamely to their indiscriminate seizure; as conquered, %%hen, with Titanic might, in fair and honourable combat, we have converted them into obedient ministers. The ideas that pos sess us weaken and distract us as much as the ideas that we possess give unity, force, fulness, and compression to our being. If we have unhappily been smitten by this contagion, of facile submission to the headlong hordes of ideas, half ideas, and no-ideas, that are continually traversing society, the remedy is altogether in our own hands. We must first of all get rid of the gluttonous habit of swallowing more in tellectual food than we have ability to digest. Intellectual dyspepsia is as common and as troublesome a malady as its corporeal namesake ; and it must be overcome chiefly through the means, temperance and exercise. No book is indifferent any more than it is a matter of indiffer ence to us whether we drink water or laudanum. Every book that we peruse must tend either to destroy or to establish our intellectual health. We should never re gard reading in the light of a mere amusement ; we should regard it as an important element in our internal pro gress. We should always read with an object; we should always connect one book with another, so as to bear on that object; and we should always link every such object with the primary object of our entire career, the augmentation of our mental stature, of our moral worth, and of the harmony, directness, vigour, and emancipation of our capaci ties, We should not take up a book because we wish to cast a few idle hours with a prodigal levity into the gulph of time ; but because we wish to make one step nearer a gradual development of mind and character. Reading in the manner and with the purpose I am recommending, we shall be astonished to find how much more we know well, than in the days of our epicurean indulgence in printed fri volities, and how much we have risen above those whom that indulgence still seduces. Exercising self-denial in books, we should likewise learn to exercise self-denial in conversation, if we are sincere in our desire to stand apart from the mob of superficialists, on whose greedy but arid brain a mingled rush of thoughts, notions, facts, and fancies fall like rain upon the sand, spoiling a shallow platitur?e, without con ferring fertility. There are few things more fatal to clear ness of perception and power, and continuity of reflection, than a hankering for that small glory which is obtained from smartness, wit, or readiness in conversation. Easy talking begets easy thinking, and easy thinking is confused thinking ; in other words, is thinking without thinking. 1 have known more than one friend descend into a mere gossiping machine, who, both from talents and acquirements, was fitted to tell with weight and splendour on the most stirring movements of the world. He who has stooped, for however short a period, to be the pampered orator of some trifling coterie, has the curse of debility upon him, and can never become one of the apostles of humanity.—Bee.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT.* With numerous small parcels of new Wheat from Ireland, a moderate quantity of this Grain from the Mediterranean, including nearly 15,000 barrels of Canadian and States Flour, and some increase in the receipts of Irish Oatmeal, we have to report a fair supply of each ; but of all other articles since this day week, the arrivals have been light. Influenced by the near completion of harvest, even in the northern districts of the kingdom, and the decline in London yesterday, the Wheat trade here this morning was consider ably depressed ' • all qualties of English and foreign having receded 3d to 4d, and Irish new fully 6d per 701bs below the rates of Tuesday' last; which induced the millers to purchase moderately, but by no means extensively. Home-made and Irish Flour, upon a limited supply, main tained late, prices; but States and Canadian must be noted Is. per barrel cheaper, and not readily saleable at this abate ment. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas, with scarcely any apparen business, exhibited a tendency to decline in value. Oats, participating in the languor so generally applicable to other articles of the trade, moved off very sparingly at a reduction of id. to 2d. per 451bs. from the currency of this day seinnight ; and Oatmeal, being much neglected, gave way Is. per 2401b5.
