He is, with his mother, doing well.—Sherborne Journal. Another large slip has taken place on the Croydon railroad, in the part that has previously given way. These frequent slips, which are, on every account, much to be regretted, might have been avoided by the construction of a tunnel in the first instance, instead of making a cutting. - - • _ - It is a remarkable circumstance that the heirs of three earl doms should, after only enjoying seats in the lower house during the short session of last autumn, lose those seats by succeeding to peerages—we allude to the present Lord Falmouth, the present Earl of Elgin, and the present Earl of Maltnesbury. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—On Tuesday last, as Mr. Broad, mason, of Winford, near Bristol, was walking over the Somersetshire estates of Colonel Blagrave, of Calcot Park, near Reading, with Mr. Westbury, land-agent, of Andover, the colonel's steward, and whilst in the act of looking at the map of the estate, and pointing to a distant object, he was suddenly observed to reel, and in an instant fell to the ground and expired, without uttering an exclamation. Mr. Broad was about sixty-seven years of age , and apparently in full health.—Devizes Gazette. • FRACAS IN COURT.—While an appeal case was in progress ' of trial on Thursday, in the West-Riding Sessions" Court, at Wakefield, in which Sir G. Lewin appeared as counsel, a point of law, raised by Sir Gregory, was overuled by the Chairman. Notwithstanding this Sir Gregory persisted in proceeding with his argument ; this, being in defiance of the Chairman's orders, eventually produced a rupture between the learned Knight and the Bench. Sir Gregory was peremp torily ordered to sit down. This he flatly refused to do, and the Chairman, J. B. Greenwood, Esq., in great excitement vacated the chair, but immediately returned and called upon Sir Gregory again to take his seat. Again meeting with a denial, the Chairman ordered Mr. Senior, the crier of the Court, to "do his duty," when Sir Gregory, finding affairs assuming a serious aspect, obeyed the order of the Bench and sat down.—Leeds Intelltgencer. • """ SINGULAR SCENE.— On Sunday afternoon week, a scene of rather a singular, and, for a time, unaccountable nature occurred at Harwood Church, near Bolton, during divine service. Shortly after the clergyman had entered upon his sermon, the apparitor fell down in the aisle, and had to be carried out of the church fo; air. No sooner had this take❑ place, than the clerk was seized in a similar manner, and so on until about a dozen were taken out. The minister said that these interruptions prevented him from proceeding to the length he could have wished, and closed his sermon very abruptly ; and a collection was made, according to announce ment, for the singers, and the congregation separated, but not until about seventeen others had been more or less affec ted. An inquiry as to the cause of so strange an occurrence was made, and it was found that the valve had been closed, by mistake, by which the hot air from the flues was confined to the church, and the atmosphere rendered impure and in tolerable.—Blackburn Standard. Cunjou Cirtet!alSTANct;•:._Mr. Ray, mate of the Ruby, just returned from Australia, had -determined to pass his Christmas Holidays in London, with his wife; hearing, how ever, of the railway accident, he resolved to go by coach, and singular to relate, his wife is, we understand, now detained on the road from injuries caused by the upsetting of the coach..—Bristol Standard. O'CoNNELL ' s H ATRED OF ENGLAND.—This notorious personage, at a repeal meeting last week, thus belched out his revengeful feelings towards this country, " 629 years had elapses' since this country was polluted by the foot-mark of a conquering Englishman—since English rapacity gnawed away the vitals of our liberty. I despise you, England ; I look with pity on your prostrate condition ; I compassionate the melancholy disgrace of your present position. The English have put in a tory government ; they have done away with a holy, sanctified institution, which I may say re sembles the attributes of the Deity—the administration of justice." RHINOCEROS FIGHT.—On one of the days we remained, a "Mahratta princess staying here sent two rhinoceroses to fight before Sir Henry, who (the rhinoceroses) after punch ing each other on the head for some time, at last got angry one with the other. The blows got harder and harder, until at last one of the parties, thinking he had had enough, turned tail and ran at the top of his speed through a thick hedge into Mrs. F.'s flower-garden; where again, gaining courage, he faced his opponent, who had followed him. The punching again commenced, and by the time the two brutes could be separated, the place of the garden, or the colour of the flowers, were both most difficult to discover.— ,Triptain Fane s Five Years in India. - - • Seyrral eortraiti of the Apostles, painted upon wood, and curinnsly trained, of the time of Oliver Cromwell, have lately been discovereil during the repairs and alterations going on at All Saints' Church, South Lynn.—Essex Standard. EXTRAORMNARY DEATH OF Two MEN FROM DRINK ING.—On Monday last two men, named John Daniels and Charles Hassall, came to a shocking and untimely death from drinking a strong mixture of rum and ale , which had been somewhat improperly administered to them. The quantity taken in each case was not such sis was likely to lead to serious consequences, but the effect was probably increased by their having taken it fasting.—Manchester Courier. SUDDEN DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF CHICHESTER.-- Dr. Shuttleworth, the Bishop of Chichester, died suddenly on Friday evening at 11 o'clock, at the Episcopal Palace, Chichester. His Lordship transacted business as usual on Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday he was attacked with sickness, and about nine o'clock in the evening his medical attendant, Mr. Dodd, of Chichester, observing him to be much exhausted, called in Dr. M'Carogher, who found him rapidly sinking, and at about eleven o'clock his Lordship expired, apparently without the slightest pain. Dr. Shut tleworth has been Bishop of Chester only 15 months. A JEWEL OF A WIFE.—A. Miss Charlotte Mitchell, of Georgia, recently appeared on her wedding day dressed en tirely of silk of her own manufacture—cap, gloves, stockings, and dress—'equal to the best pongee. Girls, do you hear that ? Such a girl would be worth more to a young man just starting in the world, than a thousand dollar-farm, and a half-a-dozen pianos to boot. Really she is a wife worth having, and William Whattington, Esq., may think himself a fortunate man.—American Paper. - - ~t)t~~~it~ ~i~c~lii~~~~~~. -•-•-•---...(10..-..-.+- FRIDAY, 77n JANUAE ARRlVkili.—Nyverheid, Lievens, Ostend—John and Henry, from Woodbridge.— 'Joiner, from Newport—Jane, from Cardiff.

Our old friend, "The Monthly," comes before ns with a new face and smiling under, we trust, brighter auspices ; and qcome him with unmingled satisfaction. For some ,e has been under an eclipse—obscured beneath a dull ; but he is about to gladden us as of old (and " The hly" is the oldest of monthlies) by emerging into a I and vigorous youth. Under the judicious catering of 3on E. Hill, whom some of our readers have known cting the editorial department of the New Monthly. pate for the revived magazine a rich store of talented ors and pleasant contributions; and the known of its new publisher, Mr. Mitchell, is suffi us that in his department nothing will be spirit and e wanted The contents of the present number are principally of a light and agreeable character. We gather, however, from the prefatory address of the new editor, that the magazine this month has been got up under some disadvantages, and that its character will be improved in succeeding numbers. The " Ode to the New Year," with which it commences, is The " Speculator in spite of him- Se from the pen of Mr. R. B.

" The Spell-bound Moor" is a ' ' and rather powerfully-written tale, and is likely to " Kindred Meads' be a favourite with most readers. The reviewing department appears to be very impartially conducted, and the " notes of the month," which we remem ber used, in the more " palmy days" of the magazine, to be its most attractive feature, are written with considerable vivacity As a whole, the present number is very promising, and we can, with it as a specimen, cordially recommend "The Monthly" to our readers The Liverpool Policeman, No. 1. London : Dolman and Co. ; Liverpool: Booker and Co. We had prepared for our columns this day a few extracts, as a specimen of the style and material of this publication, from the pen, we understand, of a Liverpool author. A sud den pressure upon our space, however, compels us to with draw them until our next publication. We have been highly pleased with the illustrations which are to accompany it, some of which have been shewn to us, which are executed in the first style of art, and of themselves worth double the price charged for the publication. With respect to the mat ter we can scarcely judge from a first number, which hardly allows space for an author to get warm in his seat ; but shall reserve our opinion until we see a few more numbers. We may observe, however, generally that some of the characters ed ; but that a little pruning, and, above oetter correction of the press would have been ery desirable. The author, if we may judge from the copy before us, which, however, is " a proof," and may not be as it is issued to the public, has some reason to complain; and we are afraid that the consequence may be detrimental if such errors as disfigure this be not amended in succeeding are forcibly paint all, a numbers THE ROMANCE OF EMIGRATION (From the Buffalo (United States) Advertiser.) About three weeks since a pretty and interesting young woman, with two fine children of the ages of one and three years, called at the office of our city clerk, inquiring for the inayor. That officer was absent, but her sorrowful demeanour spoke so affectingly in her behalf, and, although evidently in humble life, she seemed so intelligent and unassuming in her distress, that Mr. Lacy, the clerk, was led to ask the cause of her trouble, when she told him her brief story. She said her husband, whose name was Evans, left their native place, Brecknock, in Wales, a year ago, to seek a new home for them in America, leaving them to follow when he should have found the desired spot, awl earned the means to enable them to make the journey. He finally settled at Oakhill, Jackson County, in the southern part of the state of Ohio, where he worked industriously at his trade, that of a tailor, until he had laid by 80 dollars for the passage-money of his family. This amount he enclosed to his wife, with directions as to the best route to reach her destination, which would be vid Liverpool and New York. She accordingly bade adieu to her birthplace, and started on her lone and distant voyage, cheered by the prospect of soon joining her husband in their new western home. On arriving at the nearest seaport on the coast, she was persuaded by the captain of a trading ves sel that it would be much cheaper to go by way of Quebec. whither he was bound, and she therefore, took passage with him• It was two long months before the tardy craft reached port, and during this time, her stock having been exhausted, she was compelled to purchase from the captain, at his own rates, a supply for the wants of herself and her children. The extortion to which her inexperience made her an easy and the increased expenses of the inconvenient route she 'norantly taken, left her without a shilling on her at Buffalo. She was still five hundred miles from journey's end, without a friend or acquaintance, sly a hapless stranger in a strange land, with her little children looking up to her for food ! The energies of a --i s nature, so strikingly developed by necessity. did not She obtained shelter for herself and in a cedar room in the Towbridge block, for i she had to pay ss. a week, and succeeded in procuring .le sewing from a clothing-shop, which barely realised as ,h money as paid for their gloomy lodging and coarse and , q ty fare. She wrote a letter to her husband, informing . 1 of their arrival and destitute situation; but weeks .rre away in cruel suspense, while she wrote again and gain ; and on the return of each post learned with a ,navy heart that it had brought no letter for her. At length her em ployer had no mo re wor k f ur h er , an d s h e was obliged to pledge articles of cl o thi ng t o procure necessar y food. This wretched resource now failed, several weeks' `rent were due, and in her extremity she thought Of applying to the mayor for a dvice and relief. 'The poor Welch woman's simple statement touched the manly heart of Mr. Lace. He commenced a subscription, and Mr. Willi ams, a countryman, a worthy mechanic residing here, with prompt philanthropy took Mrs. Evans and her little ones into his house, when a discove r y that his guest was born within half a mile of the old home he left twenty years before, and the family histories she related, amply repaid the kind Welchman for his hospi tality. Another honest Welchman soon cheered her with his greeting. Fifteen dollars, the sum necessary to send her to Oak-hill, were s o on raised, and Mrs. Evans's passage was aged on board the packet. But while hastening to re .eh, during the preparations for the start, —red still lay on the pawnbroker's shelves, the at cast off. Lamenting her disappointment she turned ound and her husband stood before her. He had been in the city ten days in search of her ; had boarded at the United States Hotel, just over the low and squalid apartment in which his little family were staying—he comfortably lodged, and living upon the luxuries of a well-served table, while they were famishing only a few feet distant. It was a joyful matting ; the dollars were returned to the good subscribers, th e reunited and happy family took boat the next day for she had r to despair deem a shawl whi, he recolle heir western home e banking h ou ses of Dorrien and Co., and Curries and TZ .ndon, are about to be consolidated in one establish r • b •vi firm, it is understood, will include six part er , Ir.

On his Majesty landing at Woolwich he will be escorted by a troop of the royal horse guards to Buckingham Palace, where apartments are already ordered fur the reception of his Majesty and suite. His Ex cellency Chevalier Bunsen has, in consequence of his royal master's visit, taken the elegant mansion of Lord Stuart de Rothesay on Carlton House-terrace the same which Count Stroganoff, the ambassador extraordinary from Russia, en gaged during the coronation of her Majesty in 1838. His excellency intends giving a series of sumptuous entertain ments in honour of the King of Prussia's visit.---Herald THE NIGER EXPEDITION. — We have been favoured with the sight of a letter which gives further accounts of the Niger expedition. Thus we learn " that the Albert alone remains in the river : that she has but twelve white men remaining, besides Captain Trotter, the surgeon, Dr. Ma William, and three or four other officers." Two of the twelve men spoken of by the writer were taken ill before his letter was closed, and an early departure from the coast was anxiously looked for. In confirmation of the facts contained in the letter be fore us, another correspondent writes that—" intelligence has been received that the Niger expedition has become dis spirited, and that the whole of the steamers would rendezvous at Ascension on the Ist of January. The Wilberforce, which steamer was intended to remain in the Niger until the next season, had already arrived at Ascension. The expedition was reported to have left colonies up the river ; but what will be their fate without any establishment to communicate with outside, it is, perhaps, not difficult to foretell."—Shipping Gazette. The Bombay papers contain a statistical account of the quantities of tea exported to Great Britain from China since the opening of the trade in 1834 to the present time, and also of the quantities of tea exported to the United States from China from the Ist of July, 1833, to June, 18-11. The tea exported to Great Britain from the 31st of March, 1834, to the 30th of September of the same year, amounted to 3,388,2631 b. ; in the season 1834-35, it had increased to 47,690,9281 b. ; in the season 1835-36, it declined to 45,860,1931 b.; in the season 1836-37, it further declined to 37,828,7941 b. ; in the season 1837-38, it increased to 42,545,9511 b.; in the season 1838-39, it decreased again to 32,697:3701b.; in the season 1839-40, it further decreased to 29,116,1401 b. ; but in the season 18-10-41, increased again to 30,280,21816. The quantity of tea exported to the United States in 1833-3-1 was 18,854,40316.; in 1134-35, it was 14,122,9061 b. ; in 1835-36, 17,511,9121 b. ; in 1836-37, 16,581,4641 b. ; in 1837-38, 16,615,7291 b. ; in 1838-39, 15,184,0661 b.; in 1839-40, 19,333,597 lb. ; and in 1840-41, 9.079,4241 b. The great falling off observable in the last three seasons, of course, is attributable to the restricted state of trade consequent upon our conflicting relations with China. BENGAL.—There is a general complaint in the markets here of a great scarcity of cash, and but little demands for every description of goods. This has been the case for some months. The godowns of the European and native mer chants are filled with goods of every description, but they cannot find purchasers. Should this lull continue much longer, the consequence will be, that the security of some mercantile houses for some time on the wane will fail; and if we credit the gups in the bazaar, the crisis is rapidly ap proaching. No demand for commodities already in the markets, and the great losses sustained by the opium specu lators is the main cause of the lull. All eyes are, therefore, directed as it were towards China, the termination of the war, the payment of indemnification bonds for opium, and the opening of the trade upon a peaceable and secure footing. If the opium bonds of Captain Elliot are not paid within another year, it will be no difficult thing to calculate with some degree of certainty the mercantile houses which, to use a stock-market phrase, must go. The non-arrival of intel lence from China since the 24th of August continues to de press the minds of hundreds who have speculated to some extent in opium, and who wait and watch with much anxiety for China news.—Bengal Gazelle. ANOTHER DARING BURGLARY. — Between two and three o'clock on Tuesday morning, the house of Mr. George Gum, of the tithing of Seend, was broken into by three thieves, and robbed of property amounting to between 30 and £4O, Mr. Gum is advanced in years, and lives with his sister, in a lone house a short distance from the turnpike road between De vizes and Melksham. The thieves first endeavoured to effect an entrance at the back part of the house, by making a hole in the wall, but here they were unsuccessful, and the noise they made having disturbed Mr. Gum, he got up. They then went round to the front door, which they burst open, and entered the house, after au ineffectual resistance by Mr. Gum. One of the thieves was armed with a gun, another with an iron bar, and the third with a large stick. Mr. Gum also had a gun in the house, which one of the thieves per ceiving, said, " if your gun is ready mine is"—and then pre tending to load it, continued--" now do what you like, for we have plenty of assistance." Mr. Gum's gun was unfor tunately out of repair. They then told him, that if he did not give them what he had, they would destroy both him and his sister; and commenced ransacking the house. They broke the locks of four different boxes, and took every thing of value, among which were a number of old guineas, which Mr. Gum had kept by him from his youth, some silver, and nine silver spoons marked " G." Not content with this, they then collared Mr. Gum, and asked him for his money papers.—lle replied that he had nothing of the kind but two bad £5 notes, which, they said, they did not want. They still insisted that he had more money ; he assured them that he had but 18d. in his pocket, and this they took ; but upon his saying that was all he had, they returned it to him. They then left the house, after being there more than an hour. Although the fellows said they had plenty of assistance, Mr. Gum is assured that they were but three in nurnber,ashe afterwards traced their steps across the fields towards Melk sham, when they very coolly turned round, and wished him " Good morning !" The stick with which one of the fellows was armed, was afterwards found near the house. The face of each was blackened.—Bristo Journal. THE POLITICAL STATE OF THE JEws.—The prophecies i relating to the Jews declare, as clearly as language can, that they shall return to Judea, and be at last permaneniy re-estab- ' lished in the land of their fathers. The uniform experience of the literal truth of every prediction respecting their past history may suffice to give assurance of the certainty of their predicted restoration. Amidst many signs that the times of the Gentiles are drawing toward their fulfilment, many con curring circumstances seem also to be preparing the way of the children of Israel. Scattered as they have been for so many ages through the world, and maintaining still their dis tinctive character, their whole history forbids the thought that they will ever mingle among the nations, or cease to be, what they have ever been, a peculiar people. But while their history as a nation gave, for the apace of many generations, unequivocal attestations of an overruling rROVIDENCE, sus taining the theocracy of the commonwealth of Israel ; and • while, during a period of still greater duration, they have been " a people scattered and peeled ; " yet after the lapse of so many ages, they are still reserved for illustrating the truth, the mercy, and the glory of the God of Israel. They now begin, centuries of persecution and spoilation having passed away, to participate in cases too numerous to be specified, of benefits arising from the altered spirit of the times, and pos sessed, as in an unexamped degree they are, of silver and gold, and of large portions of the public funds of various kingdoms, they may be said even now, in some measure, to " inherit the riches of the Gentiles ; " commanding too, as in a great measure they do, the rate of exchange throughout Europe, they are entitled, from the present influence of money on the security of Governments, and on the arts and results of war, to high political consideration, and the time may not thus be remote when they shall " be raised up as an ensign among the nations." Not naturalised to the isles of the Gentiles, either by law or affection, nor bound to any soil by the possession of fixed property, which would be of no easy transference ; but ever looking with undiminished love to the land of their fathers (even after an expatriation uninterrupted for nearly 18 centuries, (they are ready, whenever the time shall be fulfilled, to fly " thither like a cloud, and like doves to their windows."

USES OF A SCARLET CLOAK.—At the memorable time when the French ships appeared outside Bantry Bay, there was, of course, a great alarm caused by their approach. The country people struck out a plan to intimidate the enemy, and an effective one it proved. The costume of the women in those parts comprises, as an indispensable essential, a scarlet cloak;—and the proposition was, to assemble all the damsels that could be collected together, and marshal them on the heights around the bay. It was done, and the French soldiers beheld with dismay this formidable array of scarlet, the wearers whereof (how much we sometimes gain by being seen at a distance 1) appeared to them " good men and true." What this supposed body of soldiery may have done towards scaring away the foe I know not ; but I am always glad to circulate any story in favour of a scarlet cloak, one of the most picturesque adjuncts to a landscape, either in nature or on canvass.—Letters from the Coast of Clare. PUBLIC CREDIT IN AMERICA.-1 he Courrier Francais, observing on the speech of the President of the United States, says—" Washington would have died of grief and shame if in his time he had seen private individuals, banks, and even states, committing acts of bankruptcy towards their European creditors. But President Tyler looks on at such proceedings with extraordinary indifference, which might be mistaken for a want of moral feeling. If one of the states,' said he, `did not honour their engagements, that circum stance would not in the least injure the credit of the other states.' We are of a diametrically contrary opinion, for we consider that in a country where certain local authorities do not consider themselves bound to pay the debts contracted by the state, this example cannot fail to find imitators." LONDON DOCK COMPANY.--On Tuesday the half-yearly general meeting of this company was held at the Dock-house, Prince's-street, Bank. The report stated that the number of loaded ships that had entered the docks from foreign parts in the six months ending on the 30th of November last was 602, of the aggregate burden of 131,893 tons. In the corre sponding period of 1840, there had entered the docks 581 ships, of the tonnage of 124,627 tonnage, showing an increase in the last half-year of 7,266 tons. The amount of the earn ings of the docks in the half-year ending in Novembea last was £168,878 15s. 6d., or £lll lie. ld. more than had been received in the corresponding period of 1840. The income of the company in the last six months had exceeded the ex penditure by £81,589 17s. 10d. The directors, in conse quence of the prosperous state of the affairs of the company, recommended that the half-yearly dividend upon the stock should be raised to £1 15s. per cent. After paying of inte rest, and providing for the liquidation of the debt incurred for new works, there would remain a very large surplus to the,credit of the company. The report was adopted, as well as the proposal for the augmented dividend. NEW BARRACKS.—POPISH RAPACITY.—The neigh bourhood of Brindle Lodge having been mentioned as one of the sites which the Board of Ordnance intended to select from, for the erection of the new barracks for the northern district, Mr. and Mrs. Eastwood, the proprietors of the lodge, have memorialised the secretary of state on the sub ject, alleging that having a reversionary interest in the above mansion, it would be materially injured by barracks being erected in that immediate neighbourhood. They also state that " owing to the defective slate of the laws in this coun try, which provide no security against the rapacity of catho lic priests, who carry off the property of their penitents, to the great injury of families, your memorialists have been re duced to the necessity of advertising the above mansion and lands for a tenant, having no power to dispose of them otherwise," the very small " property left to your memori alists and their numerous family of nine children, which has escaped from the hands of the confessor of their late uncle, would he reduced in value were barracks to be erected near Brindle Lodge."—Preston Pilot.--[ln our columns of to-day will be found a letter from Mr. Eastwood, exposing the avarice of popish priests, the perusal of which will serve to throw light on the above paragraph.]—Ed. L. S. Amidst all his violence of temper, coarseness of taste, and boisterous spirits, Frederick William inculcated maxims of piety on the minds of his children, though not in a way to win the heart of a youth so evidently sensitive as Frederick the Great. The old King had a strong sense of religion, al though he expressed it at times with a vehemence truly comic. We must make room for one characteristic anec dote. Being too unwell one evening to read the usual family prayers himself, his daily practice, he desired his valet de chambre to read them to him. His attendant thinking it disrespectful to thou a King, on coming to the words " The Lord bless thee," changed the expression into " The Lord bless you." " It is not so, read it again," cried the exas perated King, at the same time throwing something at the reader's head. The poor fellow could not imagine what blunder he had made, and again read" The Lord bless you." The King was furious, and having nothing else conveni ently at hand he pulled off his night-cap and flung it in the attendant's face, crying out, " It is not so 1 tell you, read it again." The frightened valet again gasped forth in scarcely audible accents, " The Lord bless you." " Bless thee, rogue," at last roared the monarch, losing all patience and self-control, " bless thee. Don't you know, fellow, that in the sight of God I am only a miserable rascal like yourself?" —Campbell's Frederick the Great. FIDELITY OF A DOG.—A fortnight ago we announced the melancholy and fatal death by drowning, of a passenger on board the Helen Macgregor steam-boat, while lying at Oban, on her passage from Glasgow. No one on board knew him, nor did any of the villagers ; but his funeral rites were per formed by a Christian people, and the cause of misfortune aroused their sympathies. They spread the mort cloth over the bier; but the tassels hung loosely—unclaimed — and told he was far from his kinsmen. No fond relative was there to mourn the loss of a friend—no aged parent to regret his un timely fate—no orphan boy to weep for the loss of a father ; but he went not to the grave unmourned ; in addition to the general sympathy, he was followed by an unfeigned mourner —the companion of his toils—his faithful shepherd dog, who, though unaccountably absent at the fatal moment, has given evident signs of extreme attachment to his master. He howled piteously as they bore him away, arid on lowering him into the grave, he could scarcely be restrained from being buried along with him. As the funeral partly moved slowly away, the faithful animal remained alone—the mourning image of fidelity and attachment. Nor has the cold blasts of gloomy December forced him from his post; there he still remains; and his fidelity has enlisted the commisera tion of the villagers, who give him the necessary food ; and though the common green mound alone marks the grave of the deceased, this faithful animal has supplied him with mourners, and a monumental effigy more interesting than the most grave or pompous eulogium.—lnverness Courier. A SINGULAR JURY.—Rather an unusual circumstance occurred at the Hertfordshire Quarter Sessions on Monday last. A man named Thomas Godfrey was charged with stealing a quantity of wheat, the property of his mistress, a widow, and convicted on the clearest evidence. The deputy clerk of the peace had, however, scarcely recorded the verdict when Mr. Pryor, the counsel for the prisoner, rose to move an arrest of judgment, on the ground that an improper af firmation had been administered to one of the jurors, a Quaker, or rather that this juror had made no affirmation at all. The affirmation repeated to him by the clerk began with, " You being one of the people called Quakers do solemnly affirm," and elided with "So help you, God." In addition to this singular informality, the clerk of the peace had neg lected to require the Quaker juror to repeat the words of the affirmation after him. The Court, after a short consultation, admitted the objection of the learned counsel, and ordered the prisoner to be discharged. Shortly after this occurrence the jury returned a verdict (in the case of a young girl charged with shoplifting) of " Guilty of stealing, but without a felo nious intention." Mr. Wordsworth, counsel for the pri soner, submitted that such a verdict was a verdict of acquittal. The Court also admitted the objection, and ordered the pri soner to be discharged. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—On Friday night last a woman named Mary Digney, the wife of a small farmer residing at Drumlough, near Rathfriland, while labouring under a fit of insanity, took advantage of her husband's absence to attempt the destruction of her own life, and the lives also of her two children. Having, it appears, previously provided herself with a quantity of arsenic, she administered some of it to the younger child, aged about seven years, at the same time swallowing herself a large portion of the same deadly drug. The elder child, aged ten years, obstinately refused the prof fered draught ; upon which she was laid hold of by her wretched parent, and violently strangled. Shortly afterwards the husband arrived, and was, by his wife, informed of all her proceedings. He instantly alarmed his neighbours, and sent for a doctor. In the mean time, the dose having, it is probable, been larger than ordinary, both the mother and the child, who had taken the arsenic, discharged the contents of their stomachs, and was thereby preserved. The other child w as discovered entirely bereft of life. On the day following an inquest was held upon the body, and a verdict of " wilful murder" recorded. The unhappy woman has been commit ted to the county gaol. Her insanity—of which, in our opi nion, there cannot exist a doubt—is said to have originated in the following circumstance, as stated by a correspondent : —" Some time back the poor woman (Mary Digney,) who was a strict member of the Romish church, being engaged in sacred communion according to its practice, happened to close her teeth upon the consecrated wafer. For this she was strongly reprimanded by the priest, and told that, as she had ' divided her God, she need not entertain any hope of salva tion ! The awful denunciation so prayed upon her mind as to lead to disorderment of intellect ; and hence the frightful tragedy which we have now to deplore."—Newry Telegraph. TRICKS OF TIIE LEAGUERS, AND WELL-MERITED RE BUFF.—The Anti-Corn Law Leaguers, reduced to their last shifts, are now having recourse to the petticoats. A batch of these petticoat politicians have been perambulating Huddersfield, calling from house to house, cajoling silly women with promises of cheap bread to sign a petition against "the corn-laws. A pair of those female worthies called a few days since at the residence of Mrs. L., an elderly lady, in South Parade, and being admitted to the parlour, stated their object to be to obtain signatures of females to a petition to the Queen for a total repeal of the corn-laws. The lady, in reply, stated, that she had in her former resi dence in Huddersfield, paid thousands of pounds for corn, that she never recollected corn being much if at all cheaper than it is now, that it is cheaper now than before the intro duction of the corn-laws, and therefore she would sign nothing for their repeal, at the same time remarking with some severity on the impropriety of women's intermeddling with politics, which are exclusively in the men's department, and that they would do far better and be more useful in their proper sphere, by minding their own domestic affairs and leaving petitions and politics to the men. At this unlooked for reproof, the lady petitioners were covered with confusion, but recovering themselves, actually had the effrontery to ask Mr. L. to allow them to go below to her kitchen, that her female servants might have the opportunity of signing it. Airs. L. however, indignantly refused them, saying her servants were in all probability more ignorant of the subject than herself ; they then retired much crest fallen, and pro ceeded to the house of Mrs. T., in the same street, here they met with no better reception, but they were told that they had better stay at home, look after their families, and mind their own affairs, and they might be gone as soon as they pleased, and not give themselves the trouble to open the petition in her house, as she would not have anything to do with it. The prospects of the League must be miserable in deeed to be obliged to resort to such unworthy means for signatures to sustain their PARTY PROJECTS, and suffer their wives and sisters to be subject to such indignant rebuffs, which we must own appear to us to be well merited.—Leeds Intelligencer. SINGULAR ESCAPE. — An escape, well-nigh bordering or the miraculous, occurred at the colliery belonging to Messrs Blundell and Sons, Wigan, under the following extraordinar3 circumstances :—Three of the work-people wishing to de• scend the shaft in order to pursue their avocations, were le down by the usual means in the basket, and arrived safely at the bottom ; but strange to say, the rope broke as the empty basket ascended.

THE IRON TRADE. — The state of the iron trade, as was expected, came under the consideration of the ironmasters' meeting at Dudley, on Thursday last, when, we are happy to state, it was determined to continue paying the men at their present rate of wages. No reduction consequently will, in the present state of affairs, take place. Thus, as hands have not been discharged, (nor are any that we know of under warning,) and the rate of wages remains the same, the discontinuance of the working of the furnaces (for there will not be a fourth of those recently at work blown out) will not prove so calamitous as apprehended. The surplus stock of iron is understood to be chiefly pig iron, and it would appear from the circumstances above stated, that employment has been found for the furnace-men, and others immediately connected with that manufacture, in other departments of the business. The price of pig iron in London, we see by the quotations, receded ss. per ton, last week ; other sorts remain the same.—Sta f fordshire Gazette. A widow, at Cambrai, named Thezin, had agreed to ac cept for a second husband, Dujardin, a gendarme. The contract was signed, the banns published, and the day fixed; but as this happened to be the first anniversary of the death of the first husband, his relations remonstrated so severely with the widow on the indecency of this proceeding, that she not only consented to postpone the ceremony, but broke off the match. A few days since Dujardin went to visit the widow, and, after a long interview, during which, no doubt, he had vainly endeavoured to bring her back to his wishes, two reports of fire-arms were heard, and the neighbours, rushing into the house, found the widow dead on the floor, with a wound in her side from a pistol. A brace of pistols were lying on the floor, with the second of which Dujardin had attempted to destroy himself. He was, however, found alive in another room, with his face terribly disfigured by the shot, and was carried senseless to the military hospital, where he remains in imminent danger. Previous to these desperate acts, he had written to his lieutenant, informing him that he and his intended bride had determined to die to gether, and recommending to the care of his officer his two children, meaning those of the widow, one of whom is eight and the other only five years old. LIBERALITY IN ITS TRUE SIGNIFICATION.—It is a perversion of the term liberality to apply it to those whose opinions and principles sit loose upon them, or, as is not un frequently done, to those who have no religious principles at all. True liberality consists, if I know anything of the force or meaning of words, in bearing with those who differ from us, in using them kindly, gently, and respectfully; not in sinking the difference that subsists between us upon matters of high importance ; not in explaining it away, and pretending to treat it lightly ; not in surrendering sacred truths, in order to catch temporary applause or popularity. How can that be called candour, or even honesty, which tends to confirm men in error, to separate them from the true church, and thus to hazard their future salvation. If I were asked for a model of true liberality in religious matters, I would refer to the beautiful apostrophe of one who had been himself reviled, insulted, and persecuted even to death, with the utmost rage and violence, by the very people of whom he thus speaks :—" Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge."—Bishop Coppleston. SENSATIONS OF BEING CRUSHED.—The late dreadful accidents on the Great Western and other railways give much interest and curiosity to the following remarkable statement (from a recent American paper) made by one who almost mi raculously escaped with life from a similar accident, though not till he had been horribly crushed :—" John Dougherty, who was so dreadfully injured some time since, by being crushed between a car and the side wall of the ticket office, at the railroad depot, has so far recovered as to be enabled to leave this city for his home at Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The case of Mr. Dougherty is a remarkable instance of es cape from the very jaws of death. His recollection of the sensations experienced during the accident is distinct and fearful indeed. His first expectation was, that the car would be stopped ; but it continued to advance, and thus increased the pressure, those parts of his body which were the most prominent being the first to feel the effects of the crash. In a moment or two he felt his ribs giving way; and to this suc ceeded the terrible sensation connected with the violent in. jection of the blood from the body to the head, which felt to him like a flame passing from the latter to the former. At this moment he became senseless, and the car was immedi ately thereafter stopped, and removed backward for his re lease, the body fa lli n g to the ground as that of a dead man. His return to reanimation he describedas though he was un der the effect of an u npleasant dream, from which he felt conscious he would be relieved when lie awoke. To those who saw him after the accident, it appeared impossible that he could survive ; and yet, through a kind providence, and the skill and unwearied attention of Dr. Dunbar, his prin cipal physician, he has been restored to life."—Baltimore American. MUTINY IN THE SOUTH PRISON.—Since the adoption of the new regulations promulgated by the Prisons Board in reference to the management of the debtors' department of the South Prison of this city, considerable dissatisfaction has existed among the debtors, who have felt much annoyed at the stringency of the new rules. Under the old regime the prison was shut at nine o'clock, but the inmates in each flat, though shut off from communication with the other two flats, were allowed to communicate with each other, only the outer door of each flat being locked. By the new law, how ever, each prisoner was shut up in his separate cell or apart ment at ten o'clock. The opposition to this system of disci pline was so great that a relaxation was made, by which the shutting up was delayed till eleven o'clock. This did not yet satisfy the parties ; and the result was, that numerous panes of glass in the cell windows were broken night after night, as if in re taliation. On Tuesday night week, the mu tiny was brought to a crisis. When the turnkeys, at eleven o'clock, went to lock up the prisoners as usual, the parties in the upper flat rebelled, and refused to turn in to their ham mocks. They would not, they said, submit to be treated like felons ; and so high did matters rise, that the deputy governor had to send for the aid of a posse of police. At the sight of this formidable party, the spokesman of the debtors announced their intention to submit for the present night to the locking up, but declared their determination to continue their resistance, unless such an overwhelming force was nightly brought against them.—Glasgow Mail. IMPORTANT MERCANTILE CASE.—An action of Some consequence to the mercantile community, has recently been decided in the Court of Common Pleas. The plaintiff was one of the shareholders in the London and Dublin Joint Stock Banking Company, and brought the action to recover From the defendant (one of the directors) the sum of £7 16s. From the statement of the plaintiff's counsel, it appeared that in the month of January, 1839, the above company, at a meeting of the directors, shareholders, and others, agreed to commence business as a banking establishment under the above title, in Skinner-street, Snowhill, London. Upon that occasion the defendant acted as one of the directors. The proposals of the establishment were exceedingly ad vantageous to the public. The capital was to be £lOO,OOO sterling, divided into 100,000 shares, at per share. At the meeting applications for six thousand shares were re ceived, but only thirteen hundred were actually issued. The company, however, proceeded to establish branch banks throughout the country, and amongst the places so honoured was Dorking, but which branch was afterwards removed to Gracechurch-street. At this period the plaintiff, who is a gentleman of fortune, deposited £2OOO in the concern, but afterwards drew it all out with the exception of £7 16s. In August last, in consequence of various causes, the establish ment, which previously bad changed its name, failed, and at which time the defendant was one of its directors. For the defence, it was alleged that the defendant was not a bona fide director of the company. No evidence was called to support this defence, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum claimed. MYSTERIOUS FINDING OF MONEY.—The following sin gular story appears amongst the " Anecdotes by (the late) James Petit Andrews F.A.S."—Extract from a memoran dum-book in the hand -writing of Paul Bowes, Esq., son of Sir Thomas Bowes, of London , and of Bromley Hall, Essex, Knight, dated 1673 :—" About the year 1658, after I had been some years settled in the Middle Temple, in a chamber in Elm-court, up three pair of stairs, one night as I came into my chamber, in the dark, 1 went into my study, to lay down my gloves upon the table in my study, for I then, being my own man, placed my things i n th e ir ce r t a i n pl aces, that I could go to them in the dark ; and as I laid my gloves down, I felt under my hand a piece of money, which I then supposed, by feeling, to be a shilling, but when 1 had light, 1 found it a 20s. piece of gold. 1 did a little reflect how it might come there, yet could not satisfy my own thoughts, for I had n then, o client it being several years before I was called to the bar, and I had few visitors that might design edly lay it there as a bate to encourage me at my study ; and although I was the master of some gold, yet I had so few pieces, I well knew it was none of my number but, how ever, this being the first time I found gold, I supposed it left there by some means which I could not guess at. About three weeks after, coming again into my chamber in the dark, and laying my gloves in the same place in my study, I felt under my hand a piece of money, which also proved a 20s. piece of gold ; this moved me to further consideration ; but, after all my thoughtfulness, I could not imagine any proba ble way how the gold could come there, and thereupon I was tempted to feel often:imes in the dark, in that place, for more gold there, but I don't remember that I ever found any when I went with these expectations and desires. About a month after the second time, coming into my chamber in the dark, and laying down my gloves upon the same place on the table in my study, as I used to do, I felt two pieces of money under my hand, w hich, after I had lighted my candle, I found to be two 20s. pieces ; and about the distance of six weeks after, in the same place, and in the dark, I found another piece of gold, and this, about the distance of a month, or fine or six weeks. I several times after, at the same place, and always in the dark, found 20s. pieces of gold. At length, being with my cousin Langton, grandmother to my cousin Susan Skipvvorth, lately married to Sir John Williams, I told her the story, and I don't remember that I ever found any gold there after, although I kept that cham ber above two years longer, oefore I sold it to Mr. Anthony Weldon, who now hath It (this being 23d Sept. 1673.) Thus I have, to the best of my remembrance, truly stated this fact, but could never know, or have any probable conjecture how that gold was laid there."

Sugar.—There has been a moderate demand, with only a small supply at market, and the sales of B. P. are 250 hhds., at steady prices. 300 bags good Khaur sold at 435.

The transactions in Rum amount to 2,0 puns. chiefly strong Demerara; the quotations remain unaltered, although some small sales have been made at advanced rates. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, January 10. There is only a trivial amount of Potatoes forward coastwise and from the Isle of Man since the 6th instant. We now have a strong frost, accompanied with a south east wind, which will prevent any considerably supply getting forward as long as it continues,—influenced by this cause, the market to day opened very firm, with an improved demand for reshipment into the Manchester, and surrounding markets in the interior, this being accompanied by a brisk sale to our town retail dealers, the full currency of lastweek has been fully sustained. Manx, Scotch and Irish Cups 2$ Id to 2's 2d per g lbs ; round, rough and flat reds 2s 2d to 2s 4d; Seedlings 2s ad to 2s 4d. The supplies of local farm produce into the North and South Hay Markets, is only at present limited, and extensive prices obtained for the good sound quality of Potatoes. Pink Eye Potatoes 2s 31 to 2s 9d, Cups as ad to 2s sd, Short Tops 2s to 2s 4d. Cattle Is 7d to Is fod per gOlbs.

Wheat Straw 4id to 54, Oat 31d to 41d, Barley Rid to aid per 241bs, WORCESTER HOP MARKET, JAN. 7. Par market remains very dull, Dot one pocket of 1 - 10pS having passed the scales since our last. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 10. At this day's market we have had a fair supply of Beast and Sheep, which were sold about our last quotations. Prime Beef 6d to 6id ; middling sid to 6id ; prime Wethers 7d to 7id ; Ewes did per lb. sinking the offal. Number of Beasts 1226; Sheep 3953. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN. 10. The present hard weather, it would appear, is a sufficient in. centive for holders of Butter to demand advanced prices. The market is very firm to-day, and the currency may be rated fully 25 to 3s per cwt. dearer. Fine Butters are very scarce. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JAN. 7. We had a large supply of Wheat and Barley to-day, but moderate of other grain. The demand for Wheat continues exceedingly languid, and even at a reduction of full Is per quarter, our millers bought very sparingly, selecting only the best samples of old and new. Fine malting Barley supported late prices, but inferior samples were Is per quarter cheaper. Oats, Beans, and Peas sold in small quantities at rather lower prices, but to have effected ex tensive sales a considerable reduction must have been submitted to. Shellings I s per load lower. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 7. Our market to-day was moderately well, hut not to say heavily, supplied with Beasts, the general quality of which was very prime. The weather being favourable to slaughtering, and the attendance of buyers numerous, the Beef trade was firm, and Monday's ad vanced rates were well supported. From Scotland we received 100 Scots and 200 Sheep. There was a fair average number of Sheep in the market, which was cleared off at an early hour on full as good terms as of late. The veal trade was animated at an advance of fully 2d per sib. Neat small Porkers sold readily, but in other kinds next to nothing was passing. Mulch Cows sold at from £l6 to £2l each. By the quantities of Sibs sinking the offal. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 7. The Wheat trade continues exceedingly flat, and several parcels of English are left unsold, for which Monday's prices were asked. Foreign is completely neglected and scarcely a transaction has taken place ; there is some inquiry for bonded, but the holders will not give way in prices, consequently nothing has been sold. Barley is unaltered in value, Peas and Beans go off slowly. The great decline in Oats has produced a better demand, and the trade has recovered the heaviness of Wednesday, and in some instances a trifling advance has been realized. ARRIVALS THIS WEER.—English Wheat, 3,060 qrs; Barley 8,310 qrs ; Oats, 1,790 qrs; Flour, 6,140 sacks. Irish Wheat, qrs ; Barley. qrs ; Oats, 4,330 qrs. Foreign, Wheat, 1,000 qrs Barley, qrs; Oats, 1,3000 qrs; American, LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 7. The duty has advanced this week to 16s. 10d. per quarter on Barley, to 15s. 3d. on Oats, and 12s. 6d. per quarter on Beans and Pease respectively, continuing unchanged upon other Grain of Foreign importation, as well as upon all British Colonial produce. We have a scanty supply of most articles into this port during the last three days, with the exception of Malt, of which there is a fair quantity coastwise ; the only foreign arrivals consisting of 2600 qrs Wheat, chiefly Mediterra nean, and 1200 qrs Beans from Alexandria. Beyond a very limited retail demand, restricted princi pally to purchases of Wheat and Flour by our local dealers, we have scarcely any business to report in free produce be tween Tuesday last and to-day ; and speculation in bonded Wheats appears to be nearly suspended for the present, there being no longer any eager disposition to invest at the rates previously quoted. Our market this morning was but indifferently attended by either town or country buyers, and with no lively symptoms in any department of the trade, •all descriptions of English, Irish, and duty paid Foreign Wheats, con tinued to meet a very limited sale to our home millers ; and very few further parcels having been taken for Ireland, our previous currency was barely sustained : one cargo of wheat, however, on the passage from Ancona, was reported as disposed of, to be delivered here in bond at 7s. 6d. per 701bs. Flour also, was generally in slow request, and scarcely maintained late prices. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, still commanding ver little notice, hardly retained the reduced rates of Tuesday. Oats and Oatmeal , in the a bsence o f country d emand,Y continued to meet an exceedingly dull sale, and exhibited a slight tendency to decline in value. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 10. The demand for Cotton for the last few days has been to a mo derate extent ;on Saturday 3000 bales, and to-day 3500, but with a very healthy tone and feeling. Thc new crop is coming in freely, but the bulk of it, (particularly that from the district of New Or leans,) is of a very inferior description, full of leafs and gin waste, o wing to the want of atten tion in the getting of it up, and if low prices continue, it is much to be feared that it may be worse in stead of better. This makes the buyers more desirous of purchas ing the old crop, and has had the effect of putting it comparatively higher. Brazils and Egyptians continue to be neglected, and prices merely nominal. On the whole the market closes with firmness, and evidently indi cates a better feeling in general. COTTON MARKET, —WEEKLY REPORT. The year has opened with a fair demand from the trade, and there being only a moderate assortment upon the market, prices of American and Surat are steadily supported. Brazil, on the other hand, is rather lower, and Egyptian still heavy of sale. Speculators have also taken 500 American► and 250 Surat, and Exporters 200 American and 100 Surat.
