They tell me that unusual grace in all his ways appears, That my child is grave and wise of heart beyond his childish years. I cannot say how this may be, I know his face is fair, And yet his chiefest comeliness is his sweet and serious air: I know his heart is kind and fond, I know lie loveth me, But loveth yet his mother more with grateful fervency. But that which others most admire is the thought which fills his mind, The food for grave inquiring speech he everywhere loth find. Strange questions doth he ask of the when we together walk ; He scarcely thinks as children think, or talks as children talk. Nor cares he much for childi4-oportt—doats out on bat or ball, But leaks on manhood's ways and works. a odaptly mimics all; His little heart is busy still, and oftentimes perplext With thoughts about this world of ours, and thoughts about the next. He kneels at his dear mother's knee she teacheth him to pray, And strange, and sweet, and solemn, then, are the words which he will say. Oh, should my gentle child be sp d's Yeats, like me, A holier and a wiser man I trust that he will be ; And when I look into his eyes, and stroke his thoughtful brow, I dare not think what I should feel were Ito lose him now. I have a son, a second son, a simple child of three; I'll not declare how bright and fair his little features be ; How silver-sweet those tones of his, when he prattles on my knee. I do not think his light. blue eye is like his brother's, keen, Nor his brow so full of childish thought as his bath ever been ; But his little heart's a fountain, pure, of kind and tender feeling, And his every look's a gleam of light, rich depths of love re vealing. When he walks with 'me, the country folk, who pass us in the street, Wiil shout for joy, and bless my boy, he looks so mild and sweet. A playfellow is be to all, and yet, with cheerful tone, Will sing his little song of love, when left to sport alone. His presence is like sunshine, sent to gladden home the earth, To comfort us in all our griefs, and sweeten all our mirth. Should he grow up to riper years, God grant his heart may prove As sweet a home fat heavenly grace as now for earthly love; And if, beside his grave, the tears our aching eyes must dim, God comfort us for all the love which we shall lose in hint. I have a son, a third sweet son, his age I cannot - tell, For they reckon not by years and months where he has gone to dwell, To us, for fourteen anxious months, his infant smiles were given, And then he bade farewell to earth, and went to live in heaven. I cannot tell what form is his, what looks he weareth now, Nor guess how bright a glory crowns his shining seraph brow. The thoughts that fill his sinful soul, the bliss which he duth feel, Are numbered with the secret things which God will not re veal. But I know, for God hath told me this, that he is now at rest, Where other blessed infants be, on their Saviour's loving breast. Whate'er befall his brethren twain, his bliss can never cease; Their lot may here be grief and fear, but his is certain peace. It may be that the tempter's wiles their souls from bliss may sever, But, if our own poor faith fail not, he must be ours fur ever. When we think of what our darling is, and what he still must be : When we muse. on TWAT world's perfect bliss, and THIS world's misery : When we groan beneath this load of sin, and feel this grief and pain, Oh, we'd rather lose our other two, than have hips here again. Rev. J. MOULTRIE. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. RUSSIAN POLICY AND DESIGNS. ( From the Morning Herald.) We publish to-day, in adjoining columns, the con tents of a pamphlet which has been issued by Mr. Ridgway, of Piccadilly, upon the subject of certain strange views which are said to be entertained by the Czar of Russia upon the independence and integrity of the kingdom of France. This statement upon its very face, recommends itself so little to credit for au thenticity that if we did not know that nothing is too gross for Russian ambition, or considered impossible to its inordinate vanity, we should have rejected it as a joke upon, or a sneer at, the credulity of that power. There would appear, however, to be some plausible evidence of the original having been found in the pri vileged clause of the imperial cabinet at St. Peters burg ; and, as a specimen of the speculations of the Czar, it may be looked at as ,a curiosity. The project thus developed contemplatesnothing less than the par tition of France, and its division into eighteen small governments, which ale to be parcelled out amongst some of the neighbouring states, and some other go vernments to be hereafter created. In these calcula tions no account at all seems to have been taken of the capacity of the whole people of France, with their or ganised army and national guard, to resist this pro posed national dissolution. The Autocrat, of the state of whose mind some unfavourable reports have been rife in the German papers, is said to have adopted and approved of this irrational project, and to have re• warded the inventor of it with 30,000 roubles. We may expect, no doubt, to hear much about it in the foreign papers. THE JOBBING CHURCH COMMISSION. ( From the Edinburgh Evening Post.) In our last we noticed the extraordinary charge of £3,000 for printing the Balaam reports of this commis sion, as it appeared in the government estimates placed on the table of the House of Commons. We suffici ently informed our readers as to the probable cause and nature of this curious charge. Our main reason, however, for referring to the matter, was to put the saddle on the right horse, by explaining that the re port was printed by an engraver, and not by the Queen's printers. It will be remembered that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer stated in the house that it was printed by the Queen's printers. We should like to know how it happened that Mr. Rice came to enter tain such a notion, directly at variance with the fact ? We think we can explain this matter also. It appears that the Queen's printers actually applied for the printing of the report, which they claimed as govern ment work, to, which they were entitled under their patent. The commissioners found that they could not legally resist this demand; and so they had recourse to a most contemptible quibble. They alleged that the Queen's printers were not the only printers to her Majesty in Scotland—that there was another party who had a commission as printer to the Crown—and accordingly the work was given to the latter, he being a regular whi t ; canvasser. The quibble we have said was utterly contemptible; and our readers will agree with us when we mention that the party described as a printer to the Queen, merely holds the appointment of engraver and copperplate printer to her Majesty— a business which has nothing whatever to,do with let ter-press printing. By this paltry trick were the Queen's printers deprived of their rights ;—and, what is of more importance to the public, an enormous job bing account, and a very imperfect publication have been placed upon the country. We do not profess to know who has reaped the profits of this snug affair; all we know is, that the comm i ss i oners are th e p ar ti es whom the public have a right to accuse as the jobbers; and, unless they can show that they did not participate in the pecuniary advantages, or if they do not disavow all connection with the job, we must hold them to have been guilty of disgraceful peculation. We make the charge broadly in order that they may free themselves if they can from the imputation of gross corruption in this matter. They may depend upon it that the mat ter will not be allowed to rest here. CONVEYANCE OF MAILS BY RAILROADS. ( From the Morning Herald.) How often must we, reversing the adage, appeal from "Philip sober to Philip drunk"—from the whigs out of office, candidates for power, to the same per sons intoxicated with the possession of it ? While in the former position, how unceasing were their efforts to have the world believe that in their hands liberty ,and property would be held most sacred, and the rights of every man as inviolable as if each one's individual case was their own—to say nothing of the liberty of the press, which they used to announce in their after dinner speeches, as the vital air, which was indispensa ble to man's very existence. How well they have sus tained consistency of character in these respects their too long night of misrule hourly testifies. Of the multitude of instances in proof o f thi s that w hi c h presses upon our attention at present is the disregard of the most obvious rights of property which the whig Attorney-General, as• the organ of the party, makes no scruple of evincing in the case of th e severa l rail roads. The extreme doctrines of this whig preroga tive lawyer were so ably dealt with and refuted in the debate of Saturday by Sir James Graham, Lord San don, and others, tilat - it would be to kill the slain were we to attempt their refutation ; and it is only to point out the inconsistency of such doctrines, when broached from such a quarter, that we advert to the subject. That railroads should be made available for the public service in the conveyance of the mails, and in every other possible manner, there can be no reasonable doubt ; and the managers of such co n cer ns can be little b e tter than insane if they attempt to turn away their best customers b y the in or di nate nature of their de mands. But railroads are in every respect the private property of the undertakers; and th e only species of road to which they bear a strict analo gy i s a canal, which no one ever heard of the public or th e preroga tive extending to the use of without sufficient remu neration being made to the owners. In short, tbis vel whig mode of extending the prerogative and inva ding the rights of property is not to be tolerated. W e well know what an outcry the whigs themselves, in their out of office clays, Would have raised had the doc trines now propounded by their own law officer been so much as hint e d at by the tories. Nothing of the kind was ever attempted or thought of by them.

Fine salmon could he bought at 7d a pound.

THE INN OF WOLFSWALD. (Front Bentley's Miscellany.) Tramp—tramp on the oaken floor ! Heard ye the spectre's hollow tread ? He marches along the corridor , . ... And the wainscot cracks beside the bed As he tracks his way through the jarring door, Which the wild night-blast has opened. THE YANKEE RHYMER. My horse had cast a shoe ; and, stopping about sunset at a blacksmith's cabin in one of the most savage passes of the Allegbanies, a smutty faced, leather-aproned fellow was soon engaged in enabling me again to encounter the flinty roads of the mountains, when the operation was interrupted in the manner here related : " Pardon me, sir," cried a middle-aged traveller, riding up to the smithy, and throwing himself from his horse just as the shaggy-headed Vulcan, having taken the heels of my nag in his lap, was proceeding to pare off the hoof prepara tory to titling the shoe, which he had hammered into shape, and thrown on the black soil beside him. " Pardon me, sir," repeated the stranger,raising his broad.brimmed beaver from a head remarkable for what the phrenologist would call the uncommon developement of "ideality," revealed by the short locks which parted over a pair of melancholy grey eyes, "matters of moment make it important for the to be a dozen of miles hence before nightfall, and You will place me under singular obligations by allowing this good fellow to attend to my lame beast instantly." The confident and not ungraceful manner in which the stranger threw himself upon my courtesy sufficiently marked him as a man of breeding, and 1, of course, complied at once with his request by giving the necessary order to the black smith. fits horse was soon put in travelling trim, and, leaping actively into the saddle, he regained the highway at a bound; checking his course then a moment, he turned in his stirrups to thank ine for the slight service I had rendered him, and, giving an address which I have now forgotten, he added that if ever I should enter —'s valley I might be sure of a cordial welcome from the proprietor. An hour afterwards I was pursuing the same road, and rapidly approaching the end of my day's journey. The im mediate district through which I was travelling had been settled by Germans in the early days of Pennsylvania—a scattered community that had been thrown somewhat in advance of the more slowly-extended settlements. In po pulousness and fertility it cou!d not be compared with the regions on the Eastern side of the mountains; but the im mense stone barns, which, though few and far between. occasionally met the eve, not less than the language spoken around me, indicated that the inhabitants were of the same origin with the ignorant but industrious denizens of the lower country. One of these stone buildings, an enormous and ungainly edifice, stood upon a bill immediately at the back of the Wolfswald Hotel,—a miserable' wooden hovel, where I ex pected to pass the night, and while descending the hill in' rear of the village, I had leisure to observe that it presented a somewhat different appearance from the other agricultural establishments of the kind which I had met with during the day. The massive walls were pierced here and there with narrow windows, which looked like loop-holes, and a clumsy chimney had been fitted up by some unskilful mechanic against one of the gables, with a prodigality of materials which made its jagged top to show like some old turret in the growing twilight. The history of this grotesque mansion, as I subsequently learned was that of a hundred others scattered over our country, and known generally in the neighbourhood as " Smith's," or " Thompson's Folly." . It had been commenced upon an ambitious scale by a person whose means were inadequate to its completion, and had been sacrificed at a public sale when half finished, in order to liquidate the claims of the mechanics employed upon it. After that it had been used as a granary for a while, and subsequently, being rudely completed without any reference to the original plan, it had been occupied as a hotel for a few years. The ruinous inn had, however, for a long period been abandoned, and now enjoyed the general reputation in the neighbourhood of being haunted, for ghosts and goblins are always sure to. take a big house off a landlord's hands when be can get no other tenant. " We havt no room pfor inynheer," said mine host, laying his hand on my bridle as I rode up to the door of a cabaret near this old building; while three or four waggoners, smoking their pipes upon a bench in front of the house, gave a grunt of confirmation to the ungracious avowal of the German landlord. I was too old a stager, however, to be so summarily turned away from an inn at such an hour; and, throwing myself from my horse without further parley, I. told the landlord to get me some supper, and we would talk about lodging afterwards. It matters not how I got through the evening until the hour of bedtime arrived. I had soon ascertained that every bed in the hostelrie was really taken up, and that unless I chose to share his straw with one of the waggoners, who are accustomed to sleep in their lumbering vehicles, there was no resource for me except to occupy th e lo ne ly building which had first caught my eye on entering the hamlet. Upon in quiring as to the accommodation it afforded, i learned that, though long deserted by any permanent occupants, it was still occasionally, notwithstanding its evil reputation, re sorted to by the passing traveller, and that one or two of the rooms were yet in good repair, and partially furnished. The good woman of the house, however, looked very portentous when I expressed my determination to take up my abode for the night in the haunted ruin, though she tried, ineffectually, to rouse her sleeping husband to guide me thither. Mine host had been luxuriating too freely in some old whiskey, brought by a return waggon from the Monongahela, to heed the Jogging of his spouse, and I was obliged to act as my own gentleman-usher. The night was raw and gusty, as with my saddle-bags in one hand, and a stable-lantern in the other, I sallied from the door of the cabaret, and struggled up the broken hill in its rear to gain my uninviting place of' rest. A rude porch, which seemed to have been long unconscious of a door, ad mitted me into the building; and tracking my way with some difficulty through a long c orr id or , o f which' the floor appeared to have been ripped open here and there, in order to apply the boards to some other purpose, I came to a steep and narrow staircase without any balusters. Cautiously ascending, I found myself in a large hall which opened on the hill side, against which the house was built. It appeared to be ligthed by a couple of windows only, which were partially glazed in some places, and closed up in others by rough boards nailed across in' lieu of shutters. It had evi dently, however, judging from two or three ruinous pieces of furniture, been inhabited. A heavy door, whose oaken latch and hinges, being incapable of rust, was still in good repair, admitted me into an adjoining chamber. This had evidently been the dormitory of the establishment, where the guests, after the gregarious and most disagreeable fashion of our country, were wont to be huddled together in one large room. The waning moon, whose bright autumnal crescent was just beginning to rise above the bills, shone through a high circular window full into this apartment, and indicated a comfortable-looking truckle-bed at the further end, before the rays of my miserable lantern bad shot beyond the threshold. Upon approaching the pallet I observed some indications of that end of .t he apartment being still occasionally occupied. The heavy beams which traversed the ceiling appeared to have bee❑ recently whitewashed. There was a sma!l piece of carpet on the floor beside the bed; and a decrepit table, and an arm-chair, whose burly body was precariohsly supported upon three legs, were holding an innocent tite-d-tite in the corner adjacent. " I've bad a rougher roosting-place than this," thought I, as I placed my lantern upon the table, and depositing my sad dle-bags beneath it, began to prepare myself for rest. Div light having now burned low, I was compelled to expe dite the operation of undressing, which prevented me from examining the rest of the apartment; and, indeed, although I had, when first welcoming with some pleasure the idea of sleeping in a haunted house, determined fUlly to exp:ore it for my own satisfaction before retiring for the night, yet fatigue just . when caprice made me now readily abandon the intention just when my means for carrying it into execution were being withdrawn; for the candle expired while I was opening the door of the lantern to throw its light more fully upon a mass of drapery which seemed to be suspended across the further end of the chamber, The total darkness that momentarily ensued blinded me completely; but in the course of a few moments, the shadows became more distinct, and gradually, by the light of the moon, I was able to make out that the ob ject opposite me was only a large old-fashioned bed-stead prodigally hung with tattered curtains. I gave no farther thought to the subject, but, turning over, composed myself to rest. Sleep, however, whom Shakespeare alone has had the sense to personify as a woman, was coy in coming to my couch. The old mansion wheezed and groaned like a broken-winded buffalo hard pressed by the hunter. The wind, which had been high, became soon more boisterous than ever, and the clouds hurried so rapidly over the face of the moon that her beams were as broken as the crevices of the ruined building through which they fell. A sudden gust would every now and iben sweep through the long corridor below, and make the ricketty staircase crack as if it yielded to the feet of some portly pas senger. Again the blast wouid die away in a sullen moan, as if based on some wild night-errand ; while anon it would swell in motlotonous surges, which came booming upon the ear like the roar of a distant ocean. I am not easily discomposed; and perhaps none of these uncouth sounds would have given annoyance if the clanging of a window-shutter had not been added to the general chorus, and effectually kept me from sleeping. My nerves were at last becoming sensibly affected by its ceaseless din, and, wishing to cut short the lit of restlessness which I found growing upon me, I determined to rise and descend the stairs at the risk of my neck, to try and secure the shutter so as to put an end to the nuisance. But now, as I rose from my bed for this purpose. 1 found myself subjected to a new source of annoyance. The mock ing wind, which had appeared to me more than once to sylla ble human sounds, came at length upon my ear distinctly charged with tones which could not be mistaken. It was the hard-suppressed breathing of a man. I listened, and it ceased with a slight gasp, like that of one labouring under suffocation. 1 listened still, and it came anew, stronger and more folly upon my ear. It was like the thick suspirations of an apoplectic. Whence it proceeded 1 knew not; but that it was near me I was certain. A suspicion of robbery—possibly assassination—flashed upon me; but was instantly discarded as foreign to the character of the people among whom I was travelling. The moonlight now fell upon the curtained Led opposite to me, and I saw the tattered drapery move, as if the frame upon which it was suspended were agitated. I watched, I confess, with some peculiar feelings of interest. I was nut alarmed, but an unaccountable anxiety crept over me. At length the curtain parted, and a naked human leg was pro,- trotted through its folds; resting there, it seemed to me at least half a minute before the body to which it belonged was disclosed to my view. Slowly, then, a pallid and unearthly-looking figure emer ged from the couch, and stood with its stark lineaments clearly drawn against the dingy curtain beside it. It ap peared to be balancing itself for a moment, and then began to move along from the bed. But there was something hor ribly unnatural in its motions. Its feet came to the floor with a dull heavy sound, as if there were no vitality in them. Its arms hung, apparently, paralysed by its side, and the only nerve or rigidity in its frame appeared about its head; the hair, which was thin and scattered, stood out in rigid tufts from its brow, the eyes were dilated and fixed with an expression of ghastly horror, and.the petrified lips moved not, as the hideous moaning which came from the bottom of its chest escaped them. It began to move across the floor in the direction of my bed, its knees at every step being drawn up with a sudden jerk nearly to its body, and its feet coming to the ground as if they were moved by some mechanical impulse, and were wholly wanting in the elasticity of living members. It ap proached my bed, and mingled horror and curiosity kept me still. It came and stood beside it, and, child-like, I still clung to my couch, moving only to the further side. Slowly, and with the same unnatural foot-falls, it pursued me thither, and again I changed my position. It placed itself then at the foot of my bedstead, and, moved by its piteous groans, I tried to look calmly at it;—l endeavoured to rally my thoughts, to reason with myself, and even to speculate upon the nature of the object before me. One idea that went through my brain was too extravagant not to remember. I e g village for aie th e .to ear Then,r moment asuch b y . thought, amon g y s other things, that the phantom was a corpse, animatedsame rc kgalvanic that toeffect—supposing h tpereccr)tce—e was s s s un in pp orde r oaone s in to n o recollectedaeven the experiment possibl e —l re j ected the suppos ition. ^ How, too, could those awful moans be produced from an in animate being? And yet it seemed as if every thing about it were dead, except the mere capability of moving its feet and uttering those unearthly expressions of suffering. The spectre, however, if so it may be called, gave me but little o pportunity fo r reflection. Its ghastly limbs were raised anew with the same automaton movement; and, placing one of its feet upon the bottom of nay bed, while its glassy eyes were fixed steadfastly upon me, it be g an stalking towards my pillow. I confess that 1 was now in an agony of terror. I leaped from the couch and fled the apartment. The keen-sighteduess of fear enabled me to discover an open closet upon the other side of the hall: Springing through the threshold, I closed the door quickly after me. I had neither lock nor bolt, but the closet was so narrow, that by placing my feet on the opposite wall, I could brace my back against the door so as to hold against any human assailant who bad only his arms for a lever. The sweat of mortal fear started thick upon my forehead as I heard the supernatural tread of that strange visitant ap proaching the spot. It seemed an age before his measured steps brought him to the door. Ile struck :—the blow was sullen and hollow, as if dealt by the hand of corpse—it was like the dull sound of his own feet upon the floor. He struck the door again, and the blow was more feeble, and the sound duller than before. Surely; I thought, the hand of no living man could produce such a sound. Ifknow not whether it struck again, for now its thick breathing became so loud. that even the tnoanings which were mingled with every suspiration became inaudible. At last they subsided entirely, becoming at first gradually weaker, and then inaudible only in harsh, sudden sobs, whose dura tion 1 could not estimate from their mingling with the blast which still swept the hill-side. The long, long night had at last an end, and the cheering sounds of the awakening farm-yard told me that the sun was up, and that I might venture from my blind retreat. But if it were still with a slight feeling of trepidation that I opened the door of the closet, what was my horror when a human body fell inward upon me, even as I unclosed it. The weak ness, however, left me the moment I had spun! , from that hideous embrace. I stood for an instant in the fresh air and reviving light of the hall, and then proceeded to move the body to a place where I could examine its features more fa vourably. Great Heaven! what was my horror upon disco vering that they were those of the interesting stranger whom I had met on the road the evening before. The rest of my story is soon told. The household of the inn were rapidly collected, and half the inhabitants of the hamlet identified the body as that of a gentleman well known in the country. But even after the coroner's inquest w..s summoned there was no light thrown upon his fate, until my , drunken landlord was brought before the jury. His own testimony would have gone for little, but he produced a document which in a few words told the while story. It was a note left with him the evening before by Mr. --, to be handed to me as soon as I should arrive at the inn. In it the stranger briefly•thanked me for the slight courtesy rer.- dered him at the blacksmith's, and mentioning that, notwith standing all precautiou, his horse had fallen dead lame, and he should be obliged to pass the night at Wolfstvald, he would still further trespass on my kindness, by begging to occupy the same apartment with me. It stated that, owing to some organic affection of his system, he had long been subject to a species of sonnamhulism, resembling the most grievous fits of nightmare, during which, however, he still preserved sufficient powers of volition to move to the bed of his servant, who, being used to his attacks, would of course take the necessary means to alleviate them. The note concluded by saying that the writer had less diffidence iu preferring_his re quest to be my room-mate, inasmuch as, owing to the crowded state of the house, I was sure of not having a chamber to my self at any event. The reason why the ill-fated gentleman had been so urgent to press homeward was now but too apparent ; and my in dignation at the drunken inn-keeper, in neglecting to hand me his note, knew no bounds. Alas! in the years that have since gone by, there has been more than one moment when the reproaches which I then lavished upon him have come home to myself; for the piteously appealing look cf the dying man long haunted me, and I sometimes still hear his moan in the autumnal blast that wails around my casement.

ADVENTURES OF A DIAMOND.—A week or two since a Jew dealer, living in Long-lane, Smithfield, purchased a diamond of great beauty, which, after keeping by him a few days, he sold to another dealer, also en Israelite, for 18 sovereigns. This man, who possessed considerable sagacity in matters of the kind, soon atter disposed of it for 50 pounds. It then ob tained notice in a higher and inure respectable market, and a jeweller living near Aldgate Pump becoming its owner, sold it to a celebrated and extensive film on Ludgate-hill for 2601., arid it has since realized a sum exceeding 400 guineas. TANNING.—It is an incontrovertible fact, that our English oak bark is of a much superior quality to that imported from Holland and other parts of the continent. The tanning busi ness, although "as old as Joppa," still appears to be in its infancy, for if we may believe the statement of Messrs. Hera path and Cox, heavy butt hides, such as used to require six to eight months to perfect, through the kindly asssimilation of the animal and vegetable juices, will now be ready for the shoemaker's lapstone in three weeks! Surely some more ex peditions mode of wearing shoes ought to he discovered, to keep pace with this leathern wonder of modern times.—Me chanic's Magazine. RAILWAY COMPENSATION.—A special jury was sum moned on Friday week before the sheriff of Middlesex, to assess compensation to Mr. John Stevens, for the loss he would sustain by the Blackwall Railway Company taking premises which he occupied, as a soap-manufacturer, in Rosemary-lane. Mr. Kelly, Mr. Adolphus, and Mr. C. Phillips appeared for the claimant; and Mr. M. D. Hill and Mr. Austin for the company. Mr. Kelly stated, that no claim was put in for the leas€, but compensation was asked for the loss of. a business which produced £l,BOO a year net profit, and also for the plant, Sce., which was estimated at £2,000. Several witnesses having been examined in support of the statementof the learned counsel, Mr. Hill addressed the jury, in which he told them that the company desired to pay the claimant liberally, but nothing like the present claim was ever heard of. They - were asked £3,605 for not one inch of brick or land, but permission to go to about 77 feet for the railway, whilkin the whole must not cosmore than £600,000. The tairtt was preposterous, and at the rate the mines of Golconda would be as a dunghill compared to Rosemary-lane. Those who could contemplate such a sum for preparing the way for the purchase of 77 feetof land were only fit for Bedlam. The learned counsel contended there could be no good-will, and if there was not, what was there to pay for? The under-sheriff summed up the evidence of the numerous witnesses; and, the jury, alter about half an hour's consultation, assessed. the damages at £1,500, the claimant to take away the plant. It was stated in the room that the company had offered £2,000. The trial lasted the whole of the day . - On Tuesday week Mr. Jones, landlord of the Wheat-sheaf public-house, in Anth o ny -street, St. George's-in-the East, sought to recover compensation front the 111ackwall railway company for Ais premises, which are required by the company, and for the good-will of his busi ness. The claim was £2,500, the award of the jury £1,700. In the course of the trial it was given in evidence that pub licans have a profit of 455. per butt upon porter, 35 percent. on spirits, and nearly cent. percent. on the minor articles of . their trade.. Standard Office, Three o'Clock. LIVERPOOL MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, 27th JULY, 1838. The Arrivals into this Port since Tuesday last consist of 7058 qrs. Wheat, 178 qrs. Peise, - andsl7 Barrels of Flour, chiefly from the Baltic; but those of English and Irish Grain generally small, as they have been latterly, continue to de.; crease: of Flour, also, we have received very little since the early part of the week, and have no Oatmeal worth naming fresh up for to-day.- Influenced by these considerations, the holders of free 'Wheats were decidedly firm this morning, requiring an ad vance of ld. to 2d. per 701b5., which, having checked the de. mand was attainable, and the trade for these descriptions concluded heavily at our last quotations. Of bonded Wheat, however, the duty for the ensuing week being reduced to 18s. Bd., several thousand tluarters have changed hands at the full rates of Tuesday. English and Irish Flour, owing to the present short sup plies, was held with confidence at Is. per sack over late prices, but the bakers, unprepared to meet the imrrovement, bought sparingly to-day. Grinding Barley, being in request for shipment coastwise, was clearer, and a parcel or two of good foreign has realized ss. 6d. to 6s. per 60lbs. Malt, Beans, and Pease, upon a mo derate sale, supported our last currency. Having very few prime Oats offering, and some inquiry for country account, a small amendment in value was obtained. Oatmeal would have moved off readi:y at 6d. pet 2401b5. above•former prices, but, beilig considered relatively cheaper than other articles, many samples were withdrawn from sale, which prevented any extensive business, which otherwise might have been effected. SELECT EXTRACTS. LONGEVITY IN PERU.—From a work published in 1836, the following is taken :--It appears from the Mercurio Peruano, that in Caxamanco, a Spaniard died in 1763, aged 144 years, eight months, and five days, leaving 800 persons lineally descended from him, In the same province, not con taining more than 70,000 persons, they were living in 1792, eight persons whose r.ges were 114, 117, 121, 131, 131, 135, and 47. ANCESTORS.—The number of ancestors a person has, is astonishing at first sight. At first, two parents ; in the se cond, four, the parents of his father and mother; the third, eight, the parents of his two grandfathers and mothers ; by the same rate of progression, 1024 in 'the tenth, and at the twentieth degree, or at the distance of twenty generations, every person has above 1,000,000 ancestors, as common arith metic will demonstrate. Jaws IN SPAIN.—The sack of the Jewish quarter of a town or city is an every-day occurrence in the earl• annals of Spain which occupation, always delectable to a mob, whether Christia❑ or infidel, was authorised by church and state. The gentlemen of Spain, generally in debt to the Jews, settled their accounts—entirely on a plea of a tender conscience, and a zeal to Advance the cause of true religion— by breaking the banks of heretics.—Quarterly Review. ScoTen MAnniAGEs.—ln Scotland, the faculty of mar riage startles the southern. I remember, when partaking of the hospitalities of Mr. David being, at Edinburgh, that Dr. Lee, towards eight o'clock' seemed to leave the room abruptly, after looking at his watch. He returned within twenty minutes. " What have you been about ?" observed the host. "Only marrying r. couple on the third flat in the High street," was the doctor's reply. This; with us, would have been a special licence matter, at the cost of at least £3o. —Dr. Dibdin's Northern Tour. MANNA.—This is believed to be an insect secretion, and collected from a shrub called gavan, two feet high, bearing a resemblance to the broom. It is collected in cloths spread beneath them at night, and in them wears the form of large crystal drops of dew, such as are seen on plants in England early in the morning. It is found near Mount Sinai, and re garded with peculiar interest in consequence of its connection with one of the most striking events recorded in Scripture. It falls during the heat of the day, is collected early in the morning, and, after straining it through cloths, it is placed in skins or gourds : a considerable quantity is consumed by themselves, a portion is sent to Cairo, and the monks of Mount Sinai retail it to pilgrims, who receive it with much reverence as an incoutestible proof of the event to which it refers. It is held as a luxury, and used for all the purposes of honey; and, when taken in any large quantity, proves a mild laxative.— Wellstead's Travels in Arabia. M. Favand, a French missionary, states that, during his late residence in China, he often eat the chrysalis of the silk worm, and found it to be both good and wholesome. It is much used there by persons in a delicate state of health. Altar the cocoons are spun the chrysales are fried, in order that the watery parts may be quite discharged ; and, on being stripped of their covering, present a yellow appearance, like the spawn of a carp. They are then fried with butter, grease, or oil; hod are afterwards put into broth. When they have boiled five or ten minutes they are crushed with a spoon, care being taken to stir them up, so that nothing adheres to the bottom of the vessel. The yolks of eggs beaten up, in the proportion of three for every hundred chrysales, are then poured over them, and the finest gold-coloured cream of the most exquisite taste is thus obtained. Socinianism is such an ill-disguised sort of infidelity, that it seems scarcely deserving of half the pains employed in its refutation. No serious Christian, we should think, could be in any danger from a creed which not only leaves out, but which finds no substitute for the great doctrines of Christi anity. It denies to us a Saviour, without proffering the in tercession of saints; and takes away the cross, without so much as giving us a crucifix in its stead. It desolates the sanctuary of its altar, of its priests, and the atouing blood— leaves the guilty without pardon, and the dying without 'hope. It lays waste the inheritance of hint who is ap pointed the heir of all things —converts the church of God into a heathen temple, and fills it with the priests of paganism. There may, indeed, be some who lay hold of the skirts of such a system, to take away the reproach of open or . avowed unbelief; but it seems impossible that any real Christian should have any fellowship, any sympathy at all with it.—' New Evangelical Magazine. MISERY IN CHINA.—No literature in the world teems with so many maxims of morality as that of China; it strives to inculcate charity and benevolence, but we are afraid tbat it has little influence on the practice of the people. It is not au uncommon sight, walking through the suburbs of Can ton, to see wretches in the most abject state of poverty, lying huddled together on the cold pavement, where they are left to -die, unpitied and unrelieved by the thousands that pass by them. Some few days ago (January 20th) six of these miserable objects, more dead than alive, were seen in a square lying together with three others already become corpses, and one of t tOb poor wretches was seen to despoil the dead of their scanty covering to shelter her from the cold. Yet, though thousands of their countrymen beheld their misery, not an arm was stretched forth to give relief, not a morsel of fond was given them to prolong their miser able existence! Such sights are anything but uncommon in the crowded streets of Canton.—Canton Free Press. CALSES OF Fastua Is LONDON.—Dr. Arnott and Dr. Kay, at the request of the Poor-law Commissioners, on the first of May last, inspected parts in the eastern extremity of London, about Wapping. Radcliffe-highway, the parish of Stepney, &c., from which many patients with fever had been carried to the hospitals. They found, as they were prepared to find, wherever fever had orippeared, one or two of the following causes:-1. Houses and courts or alleys without covered drains, and with only open surface gutters,_ so ill made that, in many eases, the fluid was stagnant: 2. Large opeh ditches containing stagnant liquid filth. 3. Houses dirty beyond de scription, as if never washed or swept; and extremely crowd ed with inhabitants, who had no means of separation, in case of disease arising among them. 4. Pigs kept in back yards, with sties very filthy, and masses of half putrid food for the pigs in receptacles around, which, in one instance, were in the back room of the house, with an open door to the front room, in which was lying a man in the last stage of fever. 5. Heaps of refuse and rubbish, vegetable and animal remains. SKETCH OF AN ARAB GlRL—Among them was one of the most beautiful girls I ever saw, apparently about twenty years of age. She was of a dark complexion—eves black as jet ; the inside of her eyelids was blackened with koble; her teeth were white a ivory, and her long hair fell down her neck and over her shoulders behind, long enough for her to sit down upon. She had large silver ear-rings, and a silver ring through her under lip, gently drawing it down, and displaying her fine teeth ; through her hair passed a silver arrow, continieg her veil to the top of her head, which was thrown back negligently over her shoulders; she was habited in a long blue loose shirt, alien at her breast, her bare antis were covered with bracelets and amulets, a string of beads wound round her neck, her feet were hare, and two large rings were fastened round her alleles. She walked, as all the Arab women do, with a grace and beauty of carriage I never saw surpassed; nor in simplicity or elegance of appearance have I ever seen a fine lady of Europe, with her jewels and pearls, equal this plain and sim ple Arab girl.—alddison's Travels. RETORT UPON MISS MA RTINFAU.—Miss Martineau, in her last volumes, " Retrospect of Western Travel," has a chapter upon "originals," in which she tells an anecdote of a " village doctor" in Vermont, who was called upon to attend her travelling companion, from whom, notwithstand ing her repeated enquiries, she could not extract the slight est information as to her friend's prospects in regard to health. He would give her no hints by .which she could form her plans and write to her friends, and she was never so completely in the dark about the nature of any illness. " 1 fancy (says she) I hear now the sharp, conceited tones of the doctor, doggedly using his power of exasperating toy anxiety."—The " village doctor" referred to resides at Brat tleboro'. He is a highly respectable physician, and in rela tion to the subject says,--" I am not tamely to be held up to the derision of England and America. It is true I did not tell her, although she almost pestered my life out to be in formed. I . bore it all, and equivocated and evaded, and all from motives of delicacy, to spare the woman's feelings. If she has been very much concerned to know, and is yet in the dark, I will enlighten her darkness. Her friend was in the first stages of delirium tremens!"—Whew! what will Miss Martineau say to this? Yankee "originals" are not original for nothing.—American paper. POISE Jaws.—On the 24th of November, I left Catia, and slept at the house of an Engli:ih merchant; from whence on the following day I went to Karas-Bazar. This place is re markable for being the only Jewish town, without a mixture of Christians, in the world. They are all manufacturers, and sell their waresihrough the Crimea, and are generally esteemed an honourable people. They are of the sect called Karaites, and look upon all other Jews as heretical; for they only acknowledge the text of the Old Testament, and reject the traditions which the others consider as of equal force with the law. This circumstance has led me to imagine, that their name was derived from the Hebre w "kart," to read; whereas I am now convinced it is from the Turkish " kara," black; for they wear a long black dress peculiar to them selves, and the name of their town in Tartar or Turkish, which are only different dialects, means "the Black Market." They have been settled in Grim-Tartary from time im memorial, and assert that they settled there before the Baby lonish captivity: which I own myself inclined to believe, for they not only reject the Rabbinical interpretations, but also the Chaldee paraphrase, which was necessary alter the return from Babylon, when the people had forgotten Hebrew.— Remains of Lord Royston. ACTION OP THE COMPASS ON BOARD 07 IRON STEAM VESSEI..—In the early portion of the spring of this year, a small iron steamer, the Voador, was despatched from this port to Rio Janeiro. The successful issue of the voyage made by the liiiyptienne, induced theopinion that the transit of the Voador, across the Atlantic would be speedo, and that the nature of the material of which she is constructed would not affect the action of the compass. Unfortunately, how ever, these expectations have not been realized, as will be seen from the following extract of a letter dated Maranham, June s:—" Yesterday appeared off port the steamer Voader, from your port, bound for Rio Janeiro. It appears her coin pass would not act truly within the tropics,' and she conse quently got to leeward, having been on the coast between this and Para some 20 odd days. She comes in this even ing, and after refitting with fuel and provisions, intends to start again for her destination."— Liverpool Correspondent of the Standard. THE IRON TRA DE.—The Shropshire and Staffordshire Ironmasters, at their quarterly meetings last week, have agreed to make no alt%.rations from the last quarterly quota tions. With respect to the prospects of the iron trade, we have pleasure in stating that they wear a very healthy ap pearance. Large orders for rails, for home consumption have latterly been given out; and the principal houses are full of orders for other descriptions of iron. Large orders fur rails have also arrived from America, subject to the con tingency of raising money upon the security of ore in the States; and it is anticipated that, upon money matters in America improving, large quantities of this and other des criptions of iron will be required in that country.--Merthyr Guardian.

The sales yesterday were 3,500 bags, and to-day they are 3,0u0. Prices steady. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 24. Although some heavy showers have fallen partially over this dis trict during; the past week, they have always been succeeded by tine (Irving winds, and on the whole the weather has been more favour able for Hay, of which a considerable quantity has been secured in pretty good condition ; but there has been very little sunshine, and it has been too cold for the season, so that the crops of Grain have progressed very slowly—thus protracting harvest, so that its commencement can hardly be expected before the first week of September. having again had a very trivial importation of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal from Ireland and Coastways, a small advance has been steadily demanded and obtained on superior qualities, and for all other kinds of Grain, last quotations have been fully supported, but sales only to a very moderate extent have been made here, and in all the Lancashire and Yorkshire markets. The ar rivals of Wheat from foreign ports are increasing weekly, - and several further parcels have recently changed hands at fully our last quotations, and for fine white, and very superior fresh red. an ad vance of 2d to 3d per 701 b has been obtained ;—some parcels of your old American, and sweet fresh European Flour. also of Oats and Peas in bond, have likewise found sales for export, at about our last quotations. At this day's market sales were made to a mode rate extent, chiefly of the finest English Wheat at a small advance, and although the accounts from Mark-lane of yesterday's market are not encouraging, all other articles of the trade found sales to a small extent, et fully the prices of this day week ; several cargoes of Wheat, in bond, of various qualities changed hands at fully the advance above noted.

We have had a very, large supply of Beasts at market to-day, and the quality only middling: but there being a brisk demand for the article, we cannot note any alteration in prices from our last week's quotation. The supply of Sheep and Lambs has also been large, and the quality tolerably good for the time of the year, with prices much the same as last week. The best Beef sold very readily at • middling, did ; and ordinary, 6d ; bnt the sales were princi pally at the antecedent prices. Good \\'ether Mutton may be quoted at 6:td to 61d; ordinary and Ewes from 5d to 6(1 ; Lambs, 61d per lb. There were a few Sheep and Lambs left unsold at the close of the market.

JULY With the exception of Foreign Wheat, of which we have had a large arrival, the supplies of all other descriptions of Grain fresh up for to-day's market were very considerable, and as the weather for some days past has been cold for the time of the year, several complaints having been received from the country this morning of the Wheat crop m particular, whiclehas suffered from blight, our trade to-day assumed a firmer aspect than it has done for several das past. A few samples of free Wheat on sale readily found buyers at fully last Monday's prices. Bonded Wheat was also held at higher rates, but we did not hear of any advance having been obtained. Barley, Beans and Peas fully supported former prices. Oats were in fair request, and flue heavy samples obtained a trifling advance. IRISH PRODUCE AND MANUPACTURE.
