Voettp, _ ~~ SING WITH US-SING WITH US THE S" SONG OF YORA, BY JAMES STONEHOUSE• Sing with us—sing with us the sweet song of yore, When happy young voices were mingled with ours; When we thought that the world bad joys in such store, That strew'd were its pathways all over with flowers! We thought not of briars entangling the way, Impeding the journey in trav'lling along; But fancied that round us all life would - be gay, And fill e d with suc h music as that little song! But as onward we trod, oh ! rough gtew the road : All the flowers decay d, the thorns leaving bare ; The bnrthen youth felt not, age thought was a load, And th' heart found no dreaming of childhood was there. We paused to look back, but the solitude chill'd, When suddenly came o'er the ear the old strain, Recalling the past, while through memory thrill'd The scenes of our life's sunny morning again! A PARTING WORD. [The following lines, the production of a young poetess, and addressed off-hand to her sister, who had been on a visit to her in hopes of deriving some benefit to her health, are respectfully submitted to the Conductors of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD for insertion in their paper, if they consider them at all worthy.] Can I tell thee how it grieves me When I think that we must part ? Yea, my very thoughts deceive me — Sorrow deeply fills my heart. May that guardian hand protect thee, As thou journey'st on thy way, And His blessing be upon thee, Dost thy loving sister pray. When thou think'st of goneby pleasures, Which thou once with me hest shared, May thou think of better treasures, Which for all have been prepared. When thou reach that home of childhood, Where both thou and I were trained, Think of thy then absent sister, Whose fond heart to thine is chained. When thou see'st thy friends around thee, All delighted thee to see, May I ask thee but this question, Wilt thou, wilt thou think of me ? Should we part to meet no more In this world of changing scene, May we meet on that blest shore Where our hopes—our wishes lean ! Now may heavenly guatds protect thee, My poor prayer for thee shall dwell ; And may thou not cease to love me, — Though we're absent, fare thee well! A. M. L. WHAT WILL YOU DO, LOVE ? (From Handy Andy.)—BY SAMUEL LOVER. " What will you do, love, when I am go-ing, With white sail flow-ing, The seas be-yond? What will you do, love, when waves di-vide us, And friends may chide us, For being fond 7" " Though waves di-vide as, and friends be chi-ding, In faith a-bi-ding, I'll still be true; And I'll pray for thee on the stormy o-cean, In deep de-vo-tion -- That's what I'll do !" "What would you do, love, if distant ti-dings Thy fond con-fi-dings Should under-mine ; And I, a-Li-ding 'neath sultry skies, Should think other eyes Were as bright as thine?" "Oh, name it not; though guilt and shame Were on thy name, I'd still be true; But that heart of thine, should another share it, I could not bear it ; What would I do ?" " What would you do, love , when home redurn-ing, ? Withhopes high burn-ing, With wealth for you, — If my bark, that , bound-ed o'er foreign foam, Should be lost near home ; Ah, what would you do ?" " So thou wert spar-ed, I'd bless the mor-row, In want and sor-row, That left me you ; And I'd welcome thee from the wasting bil-low, My heart thy pil-low THAT'S what I'd do !" THE LODGING HOUSES OF MANCHESTER. (Front Mr. Notes Evidence on the sanatory condition of the labouring population.) " The occupants of the night asylums are chiefly tramps and beggars, the customary tenants of the lowest lodging houses, who find a mug of coffee, with half a pound of bread, a warm room, and a blanket, far preferable to the filthy crowded lodging-houses, with four or five inmates in a miserable bod, at 3d. each. " Mr. Walker, the proprietor of an extensive silk-mill at Patricroft, near Manchester. describes the crowded state of an Irishman's house near his mill some time back. The man was employed by Mr. Walker as watchman, and lived in a cottage of three small rooms, near the premises, without back door or windows. Mr. Walker had engaged some fresh hands from a distance, and was desirous of procuring lodgings for them near their work ; he asked the Irishman , if ,be could accommodate them in his house •, Paddy re -Atetted that he had not ioorn, and added, Faith, I turned out thirty of them to the mills this morning ;' so that at 9d. `per weer each, he would receive at the rate of near £4O per annum, as rent for the house for which he probably paid • 2s. 6d. per week. " One shilling may be considered as a minimum weekly rent at which the owners or landlords will let their cellars or rooms, or take the trouble to collect ; but on inquiry I have found that a second or intermediate class of landlords are interested, and that these shilling rentals are again sub-let and divided by the tenants to a still more needy class ; and the rooms are not considered fully occupied while there is space for others to ' pig,' or stow themselves on the floor ; and the accommodation is sought by men and women of the lowest grade, without reference to sex or decency." STRANGE OPERATION OF THE ROGUES IN GRAIN. As before observed, some forced sales of Mexican stock at what was regarded a considerable sacrifice in the price naturally attracted attention and led to inquiries as to the sellers and their objects. In the result it is stated to have transpired that the sales were on account of certain parties, Quakers, largely embarked in the corn trade, and more largely, perhaps, engaged in corn speculations. The infer ence of course was, that Mexican stock was sacrificed in order to keep up, or to raise, the price of corn in Mark-lane, where these Quaker corn gentry are well known. On re ferring to the state of the corn market during the week, a strong suspicion cannot fail to be excited that such was the fact. All last week Mark-lane was in a panic, what with failures of corn merchants and the ascertained consummation of a bounteous harvest. Prices of wheat fell a long way down, even so late as Monday last as much as four shillings per quarter, and many demure visages on the Corn Exchange were observed to fall longer still. What was to be done in such an extremity ? Speculative stocks of foreign corn heavy and unsaleable on hand ; bills approaching ma turity • specu lators passing into the Gazette; and prices down maturity If prices were to be rallied and strung up ; if market credit was to be bolstered up so that discount brokers might be propiti • aced, it was clear that sellers must be routed from the Corn Ex change, or at least reduced to a minority by a host of buyers. To effect these important objects, some ready money must be forthcoming, and to raise this only two modes were apparent, either to sell Mexican Bonds or unbonded corn. The latter process would only have exasperated the mischief, and so the sacrifice of Mexican was resolved upon as the most if not the only feasible scheme. Of this , sort of stock it is well known that the speculative, and certainly not the most cre ditable, portion of theQuakercommunity, are and have always been large holders, and therefore the recourse was easy and . at hand. The effect of these sales of Mexican stock is already apparent in the Mark-lane manoeuvres of the day. The "C orn -E xc h an ge report" thus records them :—" We have to note a further arrival of about 15,000 quarters foreign wheat, which, however, has been met by a most animated ' demand. The tone of the market is completely changed. * * * * All descriptions (of corn) have improved in value 43. per quarter, and even ss. higher than sales forced off this day week." In order fully to appreciate the dexterous des peration of this sort of double operation, and the extent of damage voluntarily submitted to in order to accomplish, by the sale of the stock in bonds, an exorbitant monopoly price for t sihe stock of grain, it is necessary to reme co mber that Mex ican bond. the Te weae generally thought to beconsiderably below likely to 'value, and the value to which ere long they were month dividen any in hand, attain,_ For one dividend upon them is due next hilst a large proportion of the Exchange to April next is also in hand, not in Corn much for one ne u tr Article: —Morn . bills, but in Lard dollars.

INDIA MAIL, • PACKET OLFtVICE. TO COME INTO OPERATION ON THE IST OCTOBER NEXT, 1.-OUT ATLANTIC.-ONE LARGE STEAMER. Out mails leave Southampton on th'e Ist and 15th of each month, to Corunna, Madeira, and St. Thomas. Total from Southampton to St. Thomas, 19 days 6 hours. REMARKS ON TABLE No. 1. The company's ships will leave Southampton on the Ist and 15th of each month, or at farthest, on the following day, and, so long as they are required to do so by her Majesty's Government, will call at Falmouth to receive the outward mails, leaving that place on the 3d and 17th of each month. They will then proceed to Corunna, where they will remain 12 hours to replenish their coals. They will then proceed to Funchal, Madeira, where they will remain, without anchoring, as short a time as possible, to land mails, Sz.c., not exceeding, at farthest, six Ilqwea t ,..Troin thence they will proceed to the island of St. Thomas, which it is calculated they will reach in about 19 days and half from the time of their leaving Falmouth. On reaching St. Thomas, the ship from Europe delivers all the outward Mails to four steamers there waiting; one for the Demerara route, as shown in table No. 2 ; one for Jamaica and Havana direct, as shown in table No. 6; one for Porto Rico; Hayti, Cuba, &c., as shown in table No. 4; and the 4th for Bermuda, as shown in table No. 5. Having thus dispersed all the outward mails, the steamer from Europe, remains to coal, complete, and refit, after her voyage, and she will be ready to form one of the four steamers to assist in the dispersion of the outward mails arriving at the end of 15 days, by another steamer from Uurope. Should the outward steamer not reach St. Thomas before midnight on the 22d day from her appointed day of departure from Falmouth, the four collected steamers at St. Thomas proceed with the inter-colonial mails on their respective routes ; the out mails in such case being considered missing mails, to remain after their arrival at St. Thomas, till the next out mails from Europe arrive and are dispersed. The average time occupied by the steamers on their out ward voyages, hitherto, from Falmouth to Barbadoes or St. Thomas, has been less than 18 days ; thus 22 days, the time prescribed for the departure of the inter-colonial steamers, allows two days above what may be required, and to carry the fixed detention at St. Thomas to a greater extent, would only be productive of inconvenience and irregularity, as re lates particularly to the next outward steamer arrived at St. Thomas, after an interval of 15`slays. ' No. 2.—DEMERARA STEAMER.STATION.—ONE LARGE Out mails arrived at St. Thomas, as shown in No. 1, in about 19 days 6 hours. In 22 days, therefore, from the date of leaving England, this steamer starts for her destination to Tortola, St. Kitts, Nevis, Mountserrat, Antigua, Guada loupe, Dominique, Martinique, St. Lucia, Barbadoes, and Demerara. Total going to Demerara an d returning to St. Thomas, 14 days 5 hours. REMARKS ON TABLE NO. 2. The arrival of the outward mails from Europe is shown in the preceding table. This steamer receives all those mails, or inter-colonial, which are destined for any of the places specified in tables Nos. 2 and 3. She leaves St. Thomas, therefore, as soon as she has re ceived all her mails; but, at all events, before midnight on the 22d day after the departure of the out-mails from Fal mouth, as shown in the concluding remark on Table No. 1. Two hours have been allowed for stoppage at each island on the 'route to Demerara and back ; but as the postmasters and others will receive orders to have the various mails made up and ready for exchange kfire the steamer arrives, the re spective captains will curtail their stay at each place to the least time required for changing mails and passengers, thus gaining what they can at one place to compensate unavoidable delays at another. Proceeding thus as rapidly as possible, this steamer will, at Barbadoes, deliver to a steamer there waiting all the outward and inter-colonial mails for places specified in Table No. 3, and go on herself direct to Demerara. At Demerara she will remain to coal, until 30 days 15 hours reckoned from the time appointed for the outward mails leaving Falmouth. She then returns as rapidly as possible to St. Thomas, receiving by the the way all the home and inter-colonial mails from the dif ferent islands, and those from Table No. 3 will be delivered to her, also, by the branch steamer at Barbadoes. On reaching St. Thomas she delivers the home mails to the steamer bound to Bermuda, and if the Demerara steamer has any spare time before her next departure for that place, she will occupy such time in coaling, for which purpose she is to have preference to all the other steamers then at St. Thomas. The mails to and from Berbice are to be forwarded overland [ to Demerara, as formerly. No. 3.— TRINIDAD STATION.—ONE SMALL STEAMER. Out mails arrive at, and are despatched from Barbadoes, in 25 days 8 hours, to St. Vincent's, Grenada, Tobago, Tri nidad, Tobago, Grenada, St. Vincent's, Barbadoes. This brings the branch steamers to Barbadoes to receive them. Total going from and returning to Barbadoes-6 days 13 hours. _ _ REMARKS ON TABLE No. 3. This steamer will receive from the Demerara steamer at Barbadoes, as shown in the preceding table, all the outer and inter-colonial mails destined for places specified in table No. 3, with which she proceeds as there stated, remaining at Grenada, going and return to coal. She is to regulate her stay at Trinidad so as to leave it pre cisely in 29 days 6 hours after the out mails left Falmouth, returning by the same route to Barbadoes, collecting home and inter-colonial mails by the way, which she is to deliver to the Demerara steamer going to St. Thomas. Having performed this service, this branch steamer waits at Barbadoes till the arrival of the next outward mails, &c., from St. Thomas, when she proceeds as before. The quantity of coals to be taken in at Grenada is stated at 70 tons each way, calculating by the supposed consump tion ; but this is not intended to prevent the captain taking even 100 tons each time, if he conceives it to be necessary. No. 4.— JAMAICA STATION.—ONE SMALL STEAMER. Out mails arrive at and are despatched from St. Thomas in 22 days, to St. Juan's Porto Rico, Cape Haytien, St. Jago de ba, Jamaica, St. Jago de Cuba, Cape Haytien, St. Juan's Porto Rico, St. Thomas. Total from and re turning to St. Thomas, 14 days 2 hours. REMARKS ON TABLE No. 4. On the arrival of the steamer from Europe at Saint Thomas, this steamer receives the outward inter-colonial mails for Porto Rico Hayti, and St. Jago de Cuba, with which she proceeds as shown in Table No. 4. Like the Demerara steamer, 'she must leave St. Thomas's as soon as she can get those mails, and at farthest before midnight on the 22d (lay after the time appointed for the outward mails leaving Falmouth. The Jamaica out mails are not for warded by this steamer, but by a direct steamer, as shown in Table No. C. This arrangement is made to afford the island of Jamaica seven clear days for replying to its correspondence. Having delivered the mails at Porto Rico, Cape Haytien, and St. Jago de Cuba, this steamer proceeds to Jamaica, where she remains till 31 days 15 hours from the time the out-mails left Falmouth, when she receives all the home and inter-colonial mails from Jamaica, and returns by the same route to St. Thomas, picking up home mails and ex changing inter-colonial mails by the way. On her arrival at St. Thomas, the home mails, 86c. are transferred to the steamer bound for Bermuda ; and, in due time, the steamer employed on Table No. 4 performs the same work over again. As this steamer will have nearly five days and a half to lie at Jamaica, she will complete her coal there to 400 tons, so as to require no coals at St. Thomas. Should the stay of three hours each place, allowed at Porto Rico, Cape Haytien, or St. Jago de Cuba, going and returning, as shown in the table, be unavoidably exceeded or curtailed, the stoppage at Jamaica must be regulated ac cordingly, so as to ensure this steamer leaving that place as before mentioned in 31 days 15 hours from the date of the outward mails leaving Falmouth. No. S.—BERMUDA STATION.—ONE LARGE STEAMER. Home mails arrive at Si. Thomas, and are despatched from thence in 37 days from the date of the out mails leaving England, to Bermuda, St. Thomas. Total going to and re turning from Bermuda, 12 days 20 hours. REMARK S ON TABLE No. 5. This steamer is employed to receive all the home mails collected by the steamer employed on tables Nos. 2,3, and 4, as also the outward mails for Bermuda, provided they arrive before midnight on the 22d day after they are despatched from Falmouth. _ _ This steamer then proceeds with the whole of the home mails to Bermuda, where she meets the steamer from Ha vana, receives from her the mails, &c., for England, and after completing fully her stock of coal, proceeds to Europe, as shown in table No. 8. The steamer from Havana completes her coals at Bermuda, and in 30 days 10 hours from the time the last Bermudean mails left England this steamer proceeds to St. Thomas, where she will be ready to receive and convey the next out mails for the Demerara route. A good Bermuda pilot is to be kept constantly on board the ship that performs the duty on Table No. 5, and the cap tain, not being hard pressed for time, is never to attempt going into Bermuda at night, or in thick weather. No. G.—HAVANA STATION.—ONE LARGE STEAMER. Out mails arrive at and leave St. Thomas in 22 days to Jamaica, Cape Antonio, Havana, Nassau, Bermuda. Total going from St. Thomas to Bermuda, 17 days 22 hours. REMARKS ON TABLE No. G. On the arrival of the out mails at St. Thomas's this steamer receives the out and inter-colonial mails for Jamaica —the Chagres Station, table No. 11—Havana, Nassau, and Mexico, table No. 7. With these she proceeds to Jamaica direct, where she delivers, every alternate time, the Santa Martha, Carthagena, and Chagres mails to a schooner wait ing at Jamaica for them. The steamer waits at Jamaica 24 hours, and coals, as far as practicable ; then proceeds on to Havana, where, every alternate time, she meets a schooner, to which she delivers the Honduras mails, and a steamer with the Mexican mails. The Havana steamer remains there about four days, or as long as may be necessary to complete her coaling ; a ft er which she takes up the route as shown in table No. 7, and performs that service. As soon as the Havana steamer reaches Bermud a , s h e c ompletes her coaling, and is then disposable to tak e up t h e route to St. Thomas, as shown in table No. 5, or to proceed for Europe, if required, as shown in Table No. 8. . The steamer from St. Thomas, as shown in table No. 5, i s calculated to reach Bermuda in one day 11 hours after th e Havana steamer ; but sh ould she not appear in that time, the steamer from Havana must not depart for Europe till 11 days after she had qui tted the Havana. This will allo w three days for any casual t y delaying the steamer from St. Thomas. AR GE STEAMER. Mexican out mails arrive a t four da -s after, to Vera Cruz , Tampico, Vera Cruz , and H avana.

Although it is stated in the table that four days is the time allowed at Havana for coaling, yet this steamer must never leave that place for Mexico with less than 450 tons, taking time, at all events, to complete that quantity, but preserving rigidly the time for leaving Vera Cruz—namely, 54 days 16 !lours after the out mails left England. No. 8.-1-lOME ATLANTIC.—ONE LARGE STEAMER Home mails from Havana reached Bermuda in 40 . day . s from the ti me the out mails left England ; and the ho me ma il s St. Thomas reached Bermuda in 41 d a y s 10 hours from the soon e the out mails left England. I n 43 or 44 days, the steamer from St. Thomas has completed h er o ason time as coals, the whol e of the home mails leave Be rmu d a for collected s England. REMARKS on TABLE No. 8. As it must be optional with the company's superintendent at Bermuda which steamer of those there collected he wil and to Europe, this table has been made not &emit*, though in reality It is merely a continuation of the homeward voyage. In general, the steamer proceeding home will be the one from Demerara; and she is not to quit Bermuda till her coal is complete, so as to render it unnecessary to coal at Fayal or Falmouth, and to obviate the possibility of being short of coal in the chops of the channel. Haying landed the mails at Falmouth this steamer will proceed without a moment's delay to Southampton. No. O.—LA GUAYRA STATION.—ONE SCHOONER: Out mails for La Guayra and Porto Cabello arrived at St. Thomas in 22 days from England, when this scheoner pro ceeds with them, to Laguayra, Porto, Cabello, and St. Thomas. Total going and returning to St. Thomas, 25 days 20 hours. REMARKS ON TABLE No. 9. On the arrival of each alternate steamer at St. Thomas from England, thii schooner proceeds as poited out in table N 0.9, with the out and inter-colonial mails for La Guayra, which place she will leave in 35 days from the time the out mails left Falmouth. This will generally afford three days (if not more) at La Guayra. She then proceeds to Porto Cabello, waits there one day, and brings the home and inter colonial mails from both places to St. Thomas, where she will arrive about three or four days before the next alternate out steamer arrives from Europe. After her return to St. Thomas this schooner delivers the home mails to the steamer bound to Bermuda, receives the La Guayra out mails again, and proceeds as before. No. 10.—CHAGRES STATION.—ONE SCHOONER Out mails for Santa Martha, Carthagena, and Chagres arrive at Jamaica in 25 days from England, when this schooner proceeds with them to Santa Martha, Carthagena, Chagres, and Jamaica. Total going from and returning to Jamaica, 27 days 21 hours. REMARKS ON TABLE No. 10. On the arri;al of each alternate Havana steamer at Ja maica this schooner proceeds, as shown in the table No. 10, to Santa Martha, Carthagena, and Chagres, stopping about two days at each of the two former places, and about four days at Chagres, to collect home and inter-colonial mails. She must leave Chagres on her return to Jamaica in precisely 43 days 13 hours from the time the out mails left Falmouth. On reaching Jamaica she receives the next out mails, and proceeds as before delivering her home mails, so as to be taken to St. Thomas by the steamer employed on table No. 4. No. 11.— HONDURAS STATION.—ONE SCHOONER. Out mails for Honduras arrive at Havana in 30 days from England, when the schooner proceeds with them to Hondu ras and Havana. Total going from and returning to Havana, 27 days 20 hours. REMARKS ON TABLE No. 11. On the arrival of each alternate out steamer at Havana this schooner receives the out and inter-colonial mails, and proceeds with them to Belize, Honduras. She leaves Hon duras again with home and inter-colonial mails in 46 days 22 hours after the out mails for that place left Falmouth. This allows a stoppage of about a week at Belize. On reach ing Havana she delivers the home and inter-colonial mails to the proper steamers, receives the next out mails for Hon duras, and proceeds as before. THE BUILDING SOCIETIES OF MANCHESTER 'Extract from Mr. Mott's Evidence upon the Sanitary Condition of the Labouriny Population of England and Wales.) " DWELLINGS. " An immense number of the small houses occupied by the poorer classes in the suburbs of Manchester are of the most unsubstantial character ; they are built by the members of building clubs, and other individuals, and new cottages are erected with a rapidity that astonishes persons who are unacquainted with their flimsy structure. They have cer tainly avoided the objectionable mode of forming under ground dwellings, but have run into the opposite extreme, having neither cellar nor foundation. " The walls are only half-brick thick, or what the brick layers call brick noggin,' and the whole of the materials are slight and unfit for the purpose. " I have been told of a man who had built a row of these houses ; and on visiting them one morning after a storm, found the whole of them levelled with the ground; and in another part of Manchester a place with houses even of a better order has obtained the appellation of ' Pickpocket row,' from the known insecure nature of the buildings. " I recollect a bricklayer near London complaining loudly of having to risk his credit by building a house with 9-inch walls, and declared it would be like ' Jack Straw's house,' neither wind tight nor water tight !' His astonishment would have been great had he been told that thousands of houses occupied by the labouring classes are erected with walls of 41. inch thickness. " The building land is not let, as in the south, on lease, but on a perpetual ground-rent, or chief-rent, as is called here, at per square yard, and not, as in London, at per foot frontage. " The chief rents differ materially according to the situa tion, but are in all cases high ; and thus arises the induce ment to pack the houses so close. " They are built back to back, without ventilation or drainage ; and, like a honeycomb, every particle of space is occupied. Double rows of these houses form courts, with perhaps a pump at one end and a privy at•the other, common to the occupants of about 20 houses. " I have not been able to obtain any correct return of the number of houses built by the various building clubs or societies. _ _ . " A gentleman conversant with these subjects informed me that there had probably been, from the commencement, 150 of these building societies. Taking each club at 100 shares of £lOO :each, there must have been raised in this manner for building cottages £1,500,000; and calculating each house to cost £6O, which is a higher average, there have been not less than 25,00 houses erected by building societies in Manchester and the adjacent townships. " These building clubs have doubtless induced many to adopt am afraid frugalhabiitts, willin b order to become thatthe owners iwomo te o r f s c o ot f ta th ge e s m ; but are not free from selfish and interested motives. " The members engage to pay by subscription or instal ment 10s. per month. "Thus every second month, in a club of 100 shares, they have £lOO available for building ; and this is disposed of in the following manner : " A day is fixed when the amount is to be tendered for, and those who will make the greatest sacrifice, or allow the largest discount, may obtain the amount. " If a member have fixed upon a spot and is desirous of building a cottage, he is perhaps induced to offer £lO for the immediate payment of the £lOO ; another may, probably, offer £l5 or £2O, that is to say; they are willing to receive £BO, £B5, or £9O present payment for their £lOO share in the society. " Their monthly instalments, to complete their engage ments to the club, are secured by a mortgage upon the houses, the money being only advanced as the building pro gresses. In this manner a member is enabled to get a house built in his own name by the time he has paid 20s. to the society. " The first applicants for the money are those who have the strongest inducements to procure the advance and offer the largest discounts. The heavy discounts allowed for the advances, and the forfeitures by non-performance of the con ditions, enable those members who can wait, and are inte rested in establishing these societies, to get abundantly paid for their outlay and exertions." FRIGHTFUL MURDER OF A CHILD BY ITS MO THER, AND SUICIDE OF THE MURDERESS. (From the Merthyr Guardian of Saturday.) The unfortunate woman who was principal actor in the mournful scene was named Mary Evan. She lived with her husband at the Red Cow, a decent public-house, situate about four miles from Llantrissent, and one mile from Tonyr- Efel. The inn is well known on the road, and none who frequented it ever suspected that Mrs. Evan was a person at all likely to commit so dreadful an act. She had formerly been a servant in the family of Mr. Harris, of Treverig—in that occupation she continued three years—and faithfully performed her duties. She was 44 years of age. On arriving at the Red Cow a frightful spectacle presented itself. The house was filled with weeping and wailing friends. The wretched husband sat groaning in a chair by his desolate fire-side, and the shrieks of the neighbours who, now and then, ventured into the rooms where the bodies lay, were absolutely appalling. We first went into the room in which lay the dead body of the poor little fellow, William Evan. He was six years of age, and as the neighbours touchingly remarked, " his mother's boy." He was her only child, and she was passionately fond of him. On Wednesday morning, Mr. Evan got up for the pur pose of proceeding to Cummer, at which place he had built some houses. His object in going was to receive some rent due to him. He left the Red Cow, between seven and eight o'clock in the morning. Before his quitting the house, his wife went to the child's bedside and kissed him twice. After this, what passed within the house is merely a matter of con jecture. The only two persons why could give an-account are no more. At about ten o'clock, a little boy who had been in the habit of taking the poor murdered child to school for him. the door and windows were closed. He fancied he heard a noise as of knocking in the house, but supposing that the people within were busy, he went off. At that moment, it is most probable the child was being murdered. The Red Cow is not a much-frequented house, and thus may account for the unnoticed closed doors and windows during the hours of ten and three o'clock, at which time the husband returned from Cummer. When he got to his own door it was closed, and so were the window shutters. After ineffectual knockings he, with a gentleman of Aberdare, who dad stopped just before for a glass of beer, burst open the oor. The room below was quiet and clean ; all was in order. His wife having been of late subject to low spirits, a fear flashed on Mr. Evan's mind, and he went up stairs. The first object which he saw was the lifeless body of his wife. She was suspended from a beam, and quite dead. Two persons, named Thomas Williams and Evan Matthew, cut her down. At first it was supposed that she was alive, as both her feet trailed on the floor. On a closer examina tion it was found, that before placing the cord round her neck, her throat had been cut. The manner in which the cord had been placed over the beam was striking. Mrs. Evan must have made two turns, and then fixed a noose at the end of the rope on a peg, which was in the timber, thus preventing the noose slipping, and frustrating her deadly purpose. When the husband saw the body lie had no idea of the death of his child, but the blood on the hands of his wife ex cited his fears. He proceeded to the parlour, and there lay his son with his throat cut in a shocking manner, and quite dead. He lay in a pool of blood. When we saw the poor child he had been removed to a table, but the appearance of the room was terrific—the blood covered the floor. In a pool of gore lay the razor with which the murder was com mitted, and the traces of the poor boy's struggles were dis tinctly shown in his own blood marks. n s the r d most ed a probabletely NrEvans that th e l e ft leis dreadfuli housen he m deeds i t wer ec o o r m mg morn ing, a murder immediately n islt b l e n d o t over ali tittie singular e s r h o u f t t t e h r e s e w h e i r i d e o w b a s s e r p v d r p t e o t b r a e t c e l d o sien t d a i t l e t e d n a o r k ' o a c n k d .

Mrs. Evan had of late been observed to be low spirited i She must it is s u p pose d , h ave cu t h er t h roat d own stairs,netfee ineffectual, dthshene, and shy, but no apprehension s of her injuring herself were entertained. She had been heard, however, to say that her husband would do very well without her and the child. She also frequently expressed her fears that she should come to poverty, and as her husband had borrowed money to enable him to finish his houses, at Cummer, she seemed afraid that he never would be able to repay it, although there was not the slightest ground for her misgivings. We have since heard that the unfortunate woman attempted her own destruction and that of her child some years since, when she strapped the boy on her back, and walked into the river. They were then saved, to experience if possible, a dreadful fate. The following curious inscription is copied from a tomb stone in Lincoln Cathedral :—" Here lieth ye body o f Michael Honeywood, D.D., who was grand-child, and one of ye 367 persons that Mary the wife of Richd. H., Esq., did see before she died, lawfully descended from her—that is, 16 of her own body, 114 grand-children, 228 of the third generation, and 9 of ye fourth." A eIIINTAT , DINKEL The following description of a Chinese dinner, from the pen of Captain Laplace, of the French navy, will be read with interest : " The first course was laid out in a great number of saucers of painted porcelain, and consisted of various relishes in a cold state—as salted earth-worms, prepared and dried, but so cut up that I fortunately did not know what they were until I swallowed them ; salted or smoked fish and ham, both of them cut into extremely small slices ; besides which there was what they called Japan leather, a sort of darkish skin, hard and tough, with a strong and far from agreeable taste, which seemed to have been macerated in water for some time. All these et ceteras, including among the number a liquor, which I recognised to be soy, made from a Japan bean, and long since adopted by the wine drinkers of Europe to revive their faded appetites or tastes, were used as seasoning to a great number of stews, which were contained in bowls, and succeeded each other uninterruptedly. All the dishes, with out exception, swam in soup. On one side figured pigeons' eggs, cooked in gravy, together with ducks and fowls, cut very small, and immersed in a dark-coloured sauce ; on the other, little balls made of sharks fins, eggs prepared by heat (of which both the smell and taste seemed to us equally re pulsive,) immense grubs, a peculiar kind of sea fish, crabs, and pounded shrimps. " Seated at the right of our excellent Amphitryon, I was the object of his whole attention, but nevertheless found myself considerably at a loss how to use the two little ivory sticks, tipped with silver, which, together with a knife that had a long, narrow, and thin blade, formed the whole of my eating apparatus. I had great difficulty in seizing my prey in the midst of these several bowls filled with gravy ; in vain I tried to hold, in imitation of my host, this substi tute for a fork between the thumb and the two first fingers of the right hand, for the chopsticks slipped aside every moment, leaving behind them the unhappy little morsel which I coveted. It is true that the master of the house came to the relief of my inexperience (by which he was much entertained) with his two instruments, the extremities of which a few moments before had touched a mouth whence age and the use of snuff and tobacco had cruelly chased its good looks. However, I contrived to eat, with tolerable propriety, a soup prepared with the famous birds' nests, in which the Chinese are such epicures. The substance thus served up is reduced into very thin filaments, transparent as isinglass, and resembling vermicelli, with little or no taste. " At first I was much puzzled to find out how with our chopsticks we should be able to taste of the various soups which composed the greater part of the dinner, and had al ready called to mind the fable of the Fox and the Stork, when our two Chinese entertainers dipping at once into the bowl with the little saucer placed at the side of each guest, showed us how to get rid of the difficulty. " To the younger guests, naturally lively, such a crowd of novelties presented an inexhaustible fund of pleasantry, and though unintelligible to the worthy Hong merchant and his brother, the jokes seemed to delight them not at all the less. The wine, in the meantime, circulated freely, and the toasts followed each other in rapid succession. This liquor, which to my taste was by no means agreeable, is always taken hot; and in this state it approaches pretty nearly to Madeira in colour as well as a little in taste, but it is not easy to get tipsy with it, for in spite of the necessity of fre quently attending to the invitations of my host, this wine did not in the least affect my head. We drank it in little gilt cups, having the shape of an antique vase, with two handles of perfect workmanship, and kept constantly filled by atten dants holding large silver vessels like coffee-pots. " After all these good things served one upon the other, of which it gave me great pleasure to sec the last, succeeded the second course, of which the object seemed to be a trial of the guests' appetites. Upon the edges of four bowls arranged in a square, three others were placed, filled with stews, and surmounted by an eighth, which thus formed the summit of a pyramid, and the custom is to touch none of these, although invited by the host. On the refusal of the party the whole disappeared and the table was covered with articles in pasty and sugar, in the midst of which was a salad composed of the tender shoots of the bamboo, and some watery preparations that exhaled a most disagreeable odour. " Up to this point the relishes of which I first spoke had been the sole accompaniment of all the successive ragouts, they still served to season the bowls of plain rice, which the attendants now, for the first time, placed before each of the guests ; it must be remembered that this was a formal dinner —rice forms a much more integral part of an every-day meal. " I regarded, with an air of considerable embarrassment, the two little sticks with which, notwithstanding the' expe rience acquired since the commencement of the repast, it seemed very doubtful whether I should be able to eat my rice, grain by grain, according to the belief of Europeans regarding the Chinese custom. I therefore waited until my host should begin, to follow his example, foreseeing that, on this new occasion, some fresh discovery would serve to re lieve us from the truly ludicrous embarrassment which we all displayed ; in a word, our two Chinese cleverly joining the ends of their chopsticks, plunged them into the bowls of rice, held up to the mouth, which was opened to its full ex tent, and thus easily shovelled in the rice, not by grains, but by handsfull." When Maurice Margarot was tried at Edinburgh for sedi tion, Lord Justice Clerk Braxfield, who always talked broad Scotch upon the bench, said " Hae ye ony counsel, mon ?" " No." " D'ye want to hae ony appointit ?" " No." I only want an interpreter to make me understand what your lordship says." HOUSEHOLD SERVICE OF A Doc.—" I say, stranger," said a cottage urchin to a Yankee pedlar, " don't whistle that ere dog away." " Why he aint no use no how, he's too ugly." "0, but he saves heaps of work." " How ?" Why, he licks the plates and the dishes clean, so that they never want washing, and mammy says she wouldn't part with him no how, for our dog haint got used to mustard yet."—Montreal Paper. GIPSIES.—One of the most remarkable features in the history of the gipsies is the striking similarity of their pur suits in every region of the globe to which they have pene trated. They are not merely alike in limb and in feature, in the cast and expression of the eye, in the colour of the hair, in their walk and gait, but everywhere they seem to exhibit the same tendencies, and to hunt for their bread by the same means, as if they were not of the human, but of the animal species, and in lieu of reason were endowed with a kind of instinct which assists them to a very limited extent and no further. In no part of the world are they found engaged in the cultivation of the carth or in the service of a regular master ; but in all lands they are jockeys, or thieves, or cheats ; and if ever they devote themselves to any toil or trade, it is assuredly in every material point one and the same. We have found them in the heart of a wild mountain, hammering iron, and manufacturing from it instru m e n t s either for their own use or that of the neighbourinc , towns and villages. . Th e y may be seen employed in a similar man ner in the plains of Russia, or in the bosom of its eternal forests ; and whoever inspects the site where a horde of gip sies have encamped in the grassy lanes beneath the hazel bushes of merry England, is generally sure to find relics of tin and other metal, avouching that they there have been exercising the arts of the tinker or the smith. Perhaps no thing speaks more forcibly for the antiquity of this set or caste than the tenacity with which they have uniformly pre served their peculiar customs since the period of their be coming generally know n ; for, unless th e ir h a bit s h a d b ecome a part of their nature, which could only have been effected by a strict devotion to them through a long succession of generations, it is not to be supposed that, after their arrival in civilised Europe, they could have sustained and cherished them, precisely in the same manner, in the various countries where they have found an asylum.—Borr a d' s Gi ps i es . ENpLISH SURNAMES, &c.—Sirname differed originally from Surname. Mac-Allan, Fitz- H ar d zng ,A p T u d or, an d Stephenson, arc properly Sir-, or Sire-names, and are equi valent to the son of Allan, of Harding, of Tudor, of Stephen. Of Surnames, Du Cange says, they were at first written " not in a direct line after the Christian name, but above it, b e t we en the lines;" and hence they were called in latin Supranomina, in Italian Supranome, and in French Sur norns, from which, I suppose, the English terms is derived. A Sur-name is, therefore, a name superadded to the first or Christian name, to indicate to which the individual bearing it belongs, as Edmund Spencer, John Milton, Alexander Pope. Hence it is evident that, although every sirname is a surname, every surname is not a sirname ; a distinction which is now scarcely recognised, and the two words are used indiscriminately by our best writers. The termination ward indicates some office, and is equivalent to keeper or custos— thus Alilward is the keeper of a mill (probably some manorial or monastic mill ;) Kenward, the dog-keeper ; Aytward, the ale-keeper ; Durward, the porter or door-keeper ; Hayward, the keeper of a common herd of cattle belonging to some town ; and Woodward, a forest-keeper, " an officer that walks with a forest-bill, and takes cognizance of all offences committed, at the nevt swain -mote or court of attachments." Howard certainly belongs to this family of names, but anti quaries are not agreed as to the meaning of the first syllable. Camden makes it the high-warden; Spellman, the hall keeper ; Verstegan, the keeper of a stronghold ; and Skinner, a keeper of hospitality- The family of Oakes bear acorns, (very natural that they should !) the Butlers, of Ireland, bear three covered cups, (very proper again !) the Lambs, three lambs; the Bacons, a boar; the Pines, a fir-tree or pine; the Parkers, a stag's head; the Calls, three trumpets ; and the Fsatherstones, three feathers. Sometimes the crest cants when the arms do not ; this is the case in the family of Beevor, a beaver; Ashburnham, ash-tree, &c &c. STATIONS OF THE BRITISH ARMY, ON THE IST OP SEPTEMBER, 1842.

The "league" manufacturers—cunning fellows—have played their game well. The great increase in the price of goods has in a twenty-fold degree compensated them for the loss occasioned by smahed windows and plugless boilers, old stocks have become ex hausted—fresh orders pour in—better prospects loom in the dis tance—and, as " needs must when the devil drives"—terms have at length been come to with the lately enraged operative, WHO (always loyal, now doubly so, with his belly full) peacefully and industri ously plies at his vocation, very much to the satisfaction of all con cerned. But has it not been a dangerous and desperate game ? Echo the question ye Millionaires. Large buyers of Butter abstain from spirited operations until the upward tendency of the barome ter of public feeling shall have bean entirely confirmed. In the meantime a goodish retail business is going on, and the price of last week is perfectly sustained. Advices from Brazil are unfa vourable ; the pickled Butter market is a little affected thereby, and seconds of the most unquestionable respectability am offering at 735. to 745. We hope there is no foundation for the report that Foreign provisions are to be admitted into competition with Irish for the supply of the Navy contract ; it would be apiece of liberal ism that one should protest against with both hands. There is much uncertainty in the trade at present. Merchants are ex. tremely diffident in ordering free on board, whilst the curers appear "at sea" as to future operations. We think that good heavy Irish Beef will be wanted, and fetch fair prices. Pork must be very cheap, a fact which will necessarily affect the price of Beef, but not to such an extent as may generally be imagined ; ships must be supplied with a certain proportion of the latter, be the price of the former never so low. Holders are all very anxious to meet the new season empty handed, we find it therefore difficult to offer a correct quotation, perhaps, however. Beef may be fairly rated at 955. to 110 s. per tierce. Pork at 555. to 635. per barrel, as in quality. The demand for Bacon has become trivial, and a fine article may be bought at 445. per cwt. • LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPTEMBER 2. An exceedingly quiet day in Cotton ; the amount of busi ness does not exceed 2500 bales, at similar prices to yester day. The sales of the week are 21,000 bales: speculators take near 5000, and the trade the remainder. Prices gene rally id. per lb. lower. COTTON MARKET, SEPTEMBER 5 The demand for Cotton has almo3t subsided, consumers (who are fortunate enough to be at work) are working up their stocks. Speculators have entirely withdraWn themselves, so that we appear unusually quiet. On Saturday 2500 bales were sold, and to-day only 2,000, prices stationary, the buyer having the advantage. At the same time holders found it useless to press their stocks, and now seem quiet, and willing to wait a revival of demand.

Gd. per quarter, and on Flour to 7s. 2d. per barrel : the Colonial Wheat duty also will shortly be higher. We have a fair fresh supply of Wheat from European ports, with a few thousand barrels of States and Canadian Flour, which forming the bulk of the arrivals into this port within the past three days, the general imports arc rather moderate ; the market at the same time being less pressed with samples from granary, and the improved tone lately manifested Jere being confirmed by a corresponding feeling in London and several leading markets of the country, the trade has assumed more buoyancy between Tuesday last and to-day ; the disposition to purchase Wheats on speculation has continued, and at the rates of our last Circular, some large sales have been effected, but many holders looking for an advance has served to check much general business. At this morning's market both town and country millers freely paid the full rates of Tuesday, for the general qualities of Wheat, and inclusive of one or two parcels taken for holding over, a fair amount of business has been done. A. good demand was also experienced for Flour, fresh descrip tions of which are becoming comparatively scarce, and for such 6d. per barrel advance has been obtained to-day. In Barley, Beans, and Pease, we have no alteration to note, there being scarcely any enquiry for any of these arti cles to-day. Old Mealing Oats were in better request, but no improve ment on late prices could be effected : rather extensive pur chases of old Oatmeal, the stock of which is much reduced, were made on country orders, and an amendment of is. per sack was realised : the supply of new coining forward in very limited ouantity ; a small lot of the latter brought 28s. Gd. per 240 lbs. Much rain has fallen on Wednesday night and yesterday, which appears to have been general through this district; but the interruption to harvest work, in the small compass where it is incomplete, is only temporary, to-day being again very fine, with brisk drying winds.
