In slumber, when some drea►n of daring power Transcends creation, or outdazzles earth, wither'd paradise ►nay seem revived ; And oft when Poesy and young Romance Together mount imagination's throne, — What landscapes, tit for seraphim to walk, In the green loveliness of Nature's youth Have bloom'd beneath their fascinating smile ! And vet, no dreaming pump, nor baidic spell, Can rival thee, by God himself arrayed With glory terrible, and bea4ty wild, Thou earth•adorniug Cataract !—once seen, And seen for ever !—heard in truth for once, And by the spirit heard for evermore ! When, like some vision of a ruin-'d world, In foaming majesty I saw thee fall From crag to crag. terrificall y swift, My soul was hutted, in trance of wonder bound ; A word was outrage !—mute as thought, 1 gaz'd Upon thee, vanquii,h'd by the dread sublime : As in the presence of Almighty Power, My being trembled—language was extinct ! Aloft, aloft, precipitate and loud, The plunging torrent like a war-horse leaps Adnwn the black ravine ! and white with rage, And thunderingly hoarse, the headlong wave Froth rock to rock in froth and foam careers, In tameless, terrible, unwearied ire For ever raving !—Hark ! the mountain thrills And throbs, the leaflets palpitate with awe, The branches quiver, like the limbs of fear, On each grey elm, while, floating like the breath Of conscious being, lo ! the mist ascends In tremor from the panting surge below, Lingers awhile, in airy balance hung, Then trembles downward with a quav'ring fall, In rain-drops delicate as unshed tears. King of stern waterfalls ! thine awe pervades, And like the genius of romance creates A spirit of enchantment round thy home : The valley, hush'd as desolation loves, The gloom chaotic of thine ancient hills, Torn by the tempest's savage wing, and decked With foliage, touch'd by autumn's pale decay, Aud drip of water from the rocks, dissolv'd In feeble music, faint as dream-heard sighs,— All these in-one vast sentiment unite .Around thee, making sound and sight appeal Like poetry, from Nature's heart evok'd ! And while with contemplation's spell-bound eyes, Amid the spray, the thunder,'and the din, Monarch of waters ! upon thee I gaz'd, The witchery of deep assuciatien rose, — On myriads, now in earth 4ntl darkness mute, 1 ponder'd, who, like me, had feasted soul And sense, and drank emotions-rich as 'nine, Fronts thine enchantment.

CON7'E2!PORARY PRESS. PROTECTION OF THE LANDED INTEREST. ( From the Morning Herald.) It was not unamusing, during the debate on the corn laws, to mark the eagerness with which the advocates of Free trade in corn asserted that the burdens of the landed interest are light, in comparison with those under :Which the trading classes labour. The only proof, how ever, offered on this point, was to the effect, that a small -portion of the assessed taxes do not affect farmers. To counterbalance this very trifling exemption, the .agricultural classes, it may be stated, are subjected to 'pearly the whole burden of the poor rates—a burden -Amounting to many millions annually. From that bur den mercantile capital is almost entirely free. The whole of the county rates, moreover, fall exclui sively on the landed interest; and the aggregate amount of these constitutes a very serious tax on agricultural -property. The Tithe Commutation Act, too, was gravely alluded 'to by some of the politico-economical reasoners on the whig benches, as a boon to the landowners. A more i'inpudent violation of truth has hardly ever been at tempted even by the advocates of free trade. Tile Tithe Commutation Act is neither more nor less than an act of confiscation directed against the land owners. Why should the landowners be taxed for the commutation of tithes ? The landowners do not now Pav tithes, excepting as consumers; and the commutation f tithes will not add in the slightest degree to the va lue of the property of landowners! TI at the landowners do not pay tithe, is proved pretty fininly by the fact, that consumers complain of tithe as emsstituting an intolerable burden upon them ; but if landlords only suffered from the existence of tithe, con iturners, we may rest assured, would contrive to bear such a calamity with a degree of equanimity altogether *urprising! No : the public—that is to say, the body of consumers—pay tithe; and the public, therefore, ought, in conformity with the most obvious principles of justice, to be compelled to bear the expenses of com mutation. - But the estates of landowners will be improved by the abOlition of tithes. Such is the argument of the econo mists. And true it is, undoubtedly, that, so long as tithes.esist, tithe-free farms will let in the market fur higher rents than tithed farms will. But to argue from that fact, that when tithes shall cease, the general value of landed property throughout England will increase—is to leave out of view the exceedingly important circum stance, that the moment tithes shall cease, the price of produce will fail. Tithe now enters as an element into price. Abolish tithe, and prices will be lowered in pro portion. When the landowners of England shall have ()ought up the tithes, they will discover that they have paid an enormous sum for nothing. After the tremend ous outlay which the Tithe Commutation Act will im pose upon them, their property will be worth not one sliilling more in the market than it was before ! 'Yet the Tithe Commutation Act is modestly described in Parliament as a boon to the landowners! That act is simply one of those measures which the political economists design as a fatal blow at the inde gendence of the landed interest. If it be tamely per enitted to come into full effect, the day is not far distant, when landowners will be called on to commute the poor rate. The political economists, in short, will he satisfied with nothing less than the utter destruction of the land owners—and j,he establishment of the most grinding des- Ootisrn to which the labouring poor in any country have ever been subjected! — TWAT - IS CONSERVATISM ? (From the Blackburn Standard.) One of contemporaries in an adjoining town (who appears to be little read in the political catechism) in quires " What is Conservatism ?" and proceeds at once after asking the question to denounce those principles of which by Isis query he avows himself ignorant. This logic is by no means singular in these radical scribes ; for proceeding without data, having no principles of their own, they rove about into all kinds of suppositious pas tures, and are mightily wonder stricken when they find themselves successfully secured in the conservative .pound. They are a description of political vagrants, having no real home or shelter anywhese, abiding now under the battered roof of whiggism, and now reclining (won the fetid shambles of radical violence and democra tic destruction. What is Conservatism ? We will tell the refined Jacobin what is Conservatism, and if he have Socratic ingenuity enough he may accept the benefit to he derived from a stated answer. In the first instance, espousing the great principles of the constitution, Conservatism not only acknowledges but pledges its existence to maintain the monarchy of these realms. It is not loyal to the person but to the place of the Sovereign. It permiis no mental reserva- lion such as " while that form of government may ex ist: but identifies its own existence with the duration of that form, and enlists all the energies of its party (for it wants no other) to maintain and vindicate the monarchy of the kingdom. To uphold and support the independent legislative rights and powers of the House of Lords, is its next ob• feet. Believing that the opinions of the great landed proprietors, the hereditary judgment (ay, and even pre judices) of our nobility, are conducive of good ; that no selected body of men could supply what would be lost by the subversion of the upper house; and knowing that we have derived from that institution sal) innumerable Odwa,ntages and incalculable welfare as no other country 441o.elairn.; the Conservatives are zealous in the mainte natime of the peerage, which forms the second estate of 4Aar (roverntn?nt. - To perpetuate th e integrit, and liberty of the Com mons is the next design of Conservatism. To ensure the full and fair representation of the intelligence, thought, and industry of the country—to uphold pro perty, to indemnify labour, to encourage striving worth, to reach desert, and put back destructive presumption — to exclude no man, and to otfer easy qualifications for the attainment of the lowest—to repulse the ferocious strug• ales of an evil republicanism, and to hand down to our posterity that realized freedom our country has so long enjoyed—are part and parcel of Conservatism. And, conjoined with the state, Conservatism recog nises and advocates our church establishment—the vis►- ble Protestant and national ecclesiastical polity—the reli gion of our forefathers, confirmed alike by conviction and by law. Conservatism will not tolerate intolerance, and is therefore strenuously inimical to Popery; it will vigorously and fearlessly espouse the principles of the Reformation, and is hostile therefore to the enlightened children of Maynooth, and the beaded bantlings of Peter Dens. Conservatism, moreover, is illiberal enough to prefer British interests to the interests of foreigners; it pos sesses feeling enough to be patriotic, and to regard the honour of the country beyond all price ; it will not bend to the selfish and spiteful theories of mortified pretend ers who have missed becoming whip oppressors, and have maudled into helpless radicals; it sees by history the pernicious results of certain measures, and avoidS them ; it knows that the rational tights of man, politi cally, must be limited by the law, and that no rights can be recognised by any other power; it affirms, uncondi tionally, that no rights can be substantiated but those which the state acknowledges; and that the man who talks of natural privileges must first prove that he pose sesses any claim, further than the authority of our sta tutes, to the very privileges with which as a subject he is invested, or can justly demand the right of protection for life or property even by virtue of any other instru ment than a legal charter. Such are the principal tenets of Conservatism, up holding the rooted constitution of our country, main taining its religion, and diffusing through all classes the healthful spirit of our government. If men wish to know the principles by which we are guided, we have given them; and we are ready to defend them against the gigantic intellect of our whig-radical contemporary, who, with that pragmatical imbecility which is the spirit of his party, has attempted to cast upon our principles a miserable doubt, which, if ventured in politics, might be much more aptly hazarded in any thing which is most plain to us. But will he give us an explanation -of his own tenets? Not he; for it would be like the descrip tion of a hurricane, but wind, and noise, and nothing. LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON GEOLOGY. On Wednesday evening Professor Scouter delivered his second lecture on this important subject, in which he explained the structure of the most important rocks, and the ,causes of their peculiar formation, Having spoken of the minerals composing the various rocks of our globe, we now come to treat of the rocks themselves. They are either formed of simple or compound minerals. Quartz and limestone are welt known instances of the former. and conglomerate granite of the latter mode of formation. A rock may he either a mechanical aggregate or a chemical com pound. Quartz is a chemical compound, and homogeneous in appearance. Basalt is simple in appearance, but an aggregate of pyroxeneand felspar. Limestone is a chemical compound, while new red sand-stone is a rock of mechanical structure, composed of an aggregate of loCse sand transported by water to a place where the current has subsided, and the sand has be come agglutinated. liornblend is an aggregate of crystals. There are many interesting points connected with the natural history of rucks, which are of great importance to the student in geology. Of these their laminar structure or cleavage is highly instructive. It may be well to notice, in introducing this portion of the subject, that rocks are divided into two grand classes, namely, those which are stratified and those which are not. The former of these have been deposited by the action of water, the latter have been produced by the agency of heat. The laminar structure of rocks in many instances differs from the lines of the stratification, and in this manner often gives rise to considerable difficulty in determining the inclination of the strata. The common clay slate or argillaceous schist, is a common example of this fact, for we frequently find in it that the line of cleavage runs obliquely to the line of stratification. This variation has been the subject of considerable discussion amongst geologists: It may naturally be inquired how is it pos sible to determine the line of stratification, when it differs from that of cleavage. If the rock contains shells, the flat surface of the shell will indicate the true position of the rock at the Lilac of its formation. Again, if we find a great number of pebbles in rocks, as the pebbles must have settled according to the laws of gravitation we are enabled to determine the line of stratification. The coloured veins met with in rocks, although they may be waved, indicate the line of stratification. Although granite is ac igneous rock, it frequently presents appearances of stratification, which has given rise to an idea that granite is a stratified rock. When, however, we examine these appear ances minutely, we find that they afford no ground fur such au opinion. But of all the structures which rocks assume, one of the most interesting is the columnar form met with at the Giant's Cause way, Fingal's Cave, &c. The spheroidal form of rocks is a modification of the same' phenomena, which, however, are not all accounted for upon the same hypothesis. One of the must beautiful of these spheroidal forms of rock, is that which occurs in a. certain sort of limestone, called pisulitic limestone, from its presenting the appearance of an agglutinated mass of peas. The explanation of this is very simple. It occurs in volcanic countries, where the thermal springs are very abundant. These springs contain a great deal of carbonate of lime in solution. As the excess of the carbonic acid escapes, a precipitate is formed which is whirled round by the spring until a number of the small particles assume the form of a spherical mass or pea, and a number of these becoming agglutinated together, the pisolitie structure is formed. A vet y curious application isanade iii dials of this curious property of thermal springs. The water is cooled by causing it to pass over branches of trees, and then a number of medals or moulds are placed in its way. These, in a short, time, become covered over with a hard smooth incrusta tion of carbonate of lime, and present a very striking appear ance. Iron pyrites in the globular form consists merely of an immense number of fibres which radiate from the centre of a Spheroid. There are in Derbyshire a uumber of rounded masses of limestone, the formation of which is somewhat difficult to be accounted for, although we can easily explain the process. For instance, if mud or moist mail is left to itself, by virtue of a very curious but unknown law, certain portions of it will accumulate together, and form bales of differeut magnitude, if shells (which seem to form a magnet of attraction) be mixed with it. This process is daily going on at the bottom of lakes, &c., as well as in the arts and manufactures. Mr. Babbage, in his interesting work upon the arts and manufactures, gives a description of. its occurrence in the process of porcelain manufacturing. In this art the flints and clay are both reduced to a fine state of division before they are mixed together. '['his being dune they are mixed with water. If used immediately they are of course fit for the object intended, but if allowed to remain together for a few days. the flint separates from the clay, and forms a number of spherical nodules. By far the most interesting variety of spheroidal rocks are those which occur in volcanic rocks, such as trap, &c. These rocks are formed in a very different meaner to the preceding, by the . action of fire. The basaltic rocks are explained on the same principle. These rocks commonly as some a columnar form, although that shape is by no means pe culiar to them. These columns are of various configurations. Sometimes they have only three sides, and at others twelve; these forms ate however rare, the most common are five or six sided prisms. They vary exceedingly in length and breadth. The basaltic columns in the Isle of Sky are many of them 410 feet in length; at Ailsa they are nine feet in diameter.. A very important point to be remarked is, that all of our,basaltic co lumns are articulated,the joints being IS inches to:2 feet in length. The under surface of these joints is concave,and thauppercouve.x. Finial's cave has been produced by the continued wearing ac tion of the waves upon the basaltic columns of which it.is com posed. Basaltic columns can easily be procured by art. For the first explanation of them we are indebted to Mr, Watt, of Birmingham. He took seven cwt of basaltic mud and exposed it fur eight hours to the strongest heat of a furnace, and alier wards allowed it to cool slowly fur eight days, during which he. watched it with the closest atention. As the.. cooling com menced little globules appeared, which gradually increased in size aunt they appeared to be an inch in diameter. Long strings of them were thus producer), which, by pressing upon one another assumed columns of prismatic structure, as exemplified in nature atFingars Cave. Igneous trap very frequently be comes converted into prismatic structure in passing up ion) veins or fissures. In this case the columns shoot out from the sides and meet in the middle, where the prismatic form is con fused and lust. Many rucks, which ate nut of igneous origin, have this columnar structure. Pat adoxical as it may appear, this has been caused by heat, although the rocks themselves have not been melted. The old red sand stone of Edinburgh is an instance of this kind; it presents the usual basaltic appear ances, its columns being eighteen feet iu length, and two feet in diameter. Although the existence of this rock may seem to be at variance with the igneous theory, when properly ex plained it furnishes strong coufirmatory evidence of its correct ness, „Another instatice is presented at Dunbar, where the co lumns composed of spheroids are two feet in diameter, and fifteen inches iu length. Now, in the first place, when this columnar structure, occurs in rocks which are net of igneous formation, it is found that these rocks exist in the neighbourhood of vol• came rocks. Now, basaltic rocks having been in a, state. of fusion at their formation, imparted their heat to the rocks adja cent to them, and in this manner produced the continuer structure of the other rocks. We can prove this artificially. For instance, the sand stones which are used as arches for fur naces employed in fusing iron are exposed to. an enormously high temperature. They are never incited, yet when they are taken out after the expiration of many months, and broken, we find that they break up into columns. Thus we see that the mere application of heat to other rocks will give thesame co lumnar structure to them. If green bottle glass be exposed to a heat insufficient ; to melt it for a long time, it will be found thet its structure has been changed. and that it has assumed a prismatic columnar form. We have another beautiful example in nature. Coke is a very infusible substance. There occurs in nature a description of carbonaceous flatter called anthracite, which has the same relation to common bituminous coal that coke has. In short, anthracite is a coke formed by nature. It has been stated that trap rocks have been predueed in a state of fusion, and that the adjoining_ strata . have in.,this manner been intensely heated. Trap his been found iit the vicinity of an thracite, its beat having driven off all its original bituminous matter, and given a columnar structure to the ;residual anthra cite. Rocks are said to have a . porphyritic structure when they have a number of large crystals embedded in them. This por phyritic structure has clearly been produced by heat, because the crystals have their angles perfect. which never could have been the case had they been subject to the rolling action pro duced by water. We find that this description of rock is also produced artificially. Thus, on examining the .slag formed in our furnaces, we find it to contain crystals of titanium. The granular is another very common structure of ,rock, be ing a very strong resemblance to refined sugar. The saccharoid limestone is so called. on account of this resemblance. This is a case of chemical union. But the granular structure also ex ists in mecbuttically agglutinated rocks, as, for example, the common red sandstone. The difference is, that in the chemical structures the grains exist in the forms of crystals, with all the faces perfect, whilst in the m echanical, the grains are rounded. The arnygd aloidal structure derives its name from a Greek word signifying an almond. It consists of rocks, in which a great number of little bodies are embedded as a number of almonds in a paste. This struettne has been the result of an exceedingly complicated process. It occurs extensively in trap rocks of iricous ortoin; and there can be no doubt but the interior crys tals were formed after the rocks wore melted iu cavities which existed in them. The plum-pudding stone is differently con structed. 'l'his •consists of a number of pebbles,. which have been rolled along until they have become cemented together by calcareous matter. But such is not the cause of amygdaloidal rocks. We frequently find cavities in them quite empty, whilst in others the almond-tike structure has commenced its forma tion. To explain this process is also exceedingly simple. lu the first place, we mentioned that the true amygdaloidal struc ture occurs extensively in rocks of igneous origin. The first circumstance to be explained is the formation of the cavities in the rocks. All volcanoes contain within them a mass of water, which makes its escape in the shape of steam. Thus, if we ex amine Etna or Vesuvius during an eruption, we see a quantity of steam rushing from them, and, in doing so, it carries up the lava in the state of a very fine powder. As the steam concenses ' it assumes the form of rain and being mixed with the powdered lava, occasions the mud showers so often met with in volcanic countries. This vapour, mixed with the melted lava, forms a great number of cavities in it, which become elongated in the passage of the stream of lava. If the lava be in a viscid state, a great number of cavities will be formed in it. In the case of the amygdaloidal rocks, they have been in a viscid state, like the dough of bread. The next circumstance is the explanation of the manner in which the interior crystals came to be formed in these cavities. In all volcanic countries these vapours are charged with carbonic acid or other mineral substances. In Iceland the Geysers contain a great quantity of flint or silica. Now these substances which are thus helal in solution are pre cisely the substances which we find in the amygdaloidal coun tries. They have therefore been formed in the following man ner. For instance, let us imagine hot water charged with car bonate of lime to flow into the cavities, and crvstallize ahem over with calcaceous spar until the cavities are filled. Water can hold silica in solution abundantly, although we cannot do it by art in our laboratories. The Geysers precipitate the silica as the water cools. In the Azores springs are found which likewise hold silica in solution. In the same manner in Lough Neagh, in Ireland, wood is changed into siliceous matter. The Dutch rush is capable of separating silica from water. Sponges contain siliceous matter, which they must have separated from water. Again, the common sugar cane can dissolve siliceous matter, which it carries up through its tissue and deposits in its bark. In the Mauritius the sugar cane is used as fuel, and as it contains potash the ashes are frequently found converted into glass. If you examine an agate you will find it to consist of a number of concentred layers or coats like those of the onion. This substance is found in amygdaloidal structures. Chalce donies and zeoiites are formed in the same manner. We have now to explain what is meant by the term conglo merate. It means an aggregate of substances. When you examine the frag ments of the conglomerate you find that they are all rounded, and very rarely have angles. The .reason of this is that they consist of a number of different substances, which have been roiled together by a powerful current from a considerable distance. Thus plum pudding stone tells a curious history. We see that before this rock was formed other rocks must have existed, and therefore the river which brought down :he various fragments of which it is composed must have run over a country abounding in the different rocks of which it is composed. Lertain,parts of our red sand stone are formed of conglomerate. Now red sand stone is the oldest rock which we know of, but the occurrence of conglomerate in it shows the existence of other rocks before it. Those rocks of which the fragments are angular have been formed of rocks which have been transported from no distance. These stones are called Breccias. In the Isle of Wight we find masses of flint which, when viewed at a distance, appear as common flints, but which, when taken hold of, immediately fall in pieces in sharp angles. In the next lecture, which will be delivered to-morrow even ing, Dr. Scouler will proceed to the consideration of stratified rocks. SPORTEVG INTELLIGENCE. Manchester, Tuesday Evening. Mr. Mostyn's mare continues to lead for the Chester Cr;p -51 offered last night, takers at 6. She stands to win several parties, both in Liverpool and here, very heavy stakes. The well-known capabilities () her trainer, and her short journey to the ground, are two things that her friends no doubt look at, backed by the knowledge, that she can live the distance. Sy Ivan is next in favour, which is to be accounted fur from the flatter ing accounts received from Iledgeford as to his present form, which is represented by those who saw him a week ago—" bril liant." The running of the stable, in the Trial Stakes, at Coventry, last week, is also not overlooked. Sylvan figures now at 7 to 1, which has been accepted, and halt a point be yond that would doubtless be considered a favour. Whaley's party do not allow him to totter; it is clear that they would bid at anything beyond our quotation. Mr. Price's horse, Went worth, hashad to give way a little, owing to the advance of Sylvan ; and, at the present day, there is no disposition to back two or three of the middle rank, particularly Mersey, Zohrab, and Combat ; the first-named mare, from previous public work, has never cut out fur the front rank, and it is more than proba ble that she will go back still further. It appears doubted whether Mr. Houldsworth's horse will run ; and Chit Chat can not appear so well in his old friends' opinions since his defeat on Wednesday; his running of last year, over the same trial course, made the captain's party a little too sanguine. Lord Derby's horse remains with friends; our quotation has been taken in the course of the past two days; and Conservative has also been backed at. lOU to 3.—For the Derby, Lord Jersey's horse and the Nonplus colt gain friends: the former, coining out of so successful a Newmarket stable as Lord Jersey's, is acknowledged to be in fashion ; and the latter is represented as the horse of the great northern phalanx. It is little to take— say 6 to i—upon the Cobweb colt, so many weeks before the Derby day (May 3lst,) and particularly when the length of the field is looked at. Nothing has been done upon him here for the Riddlesworth Stakes, which will be decided on Monday three weeks.—The following are the prices of the Chester Cup horses in any demand worthy of.notice THE CHESTER TRADESMEN'S PLATE, P.P. 51 to 1 against Mr. Mostyn's Birdlime (take 6) 61 to 1 „ Mr. Robinson's Whaley (take 7) 7to l „ General Yates's Sylvan (t and aft off) 11 to 1 „ Mr Price's Wentworth 12 to 1 „ Mr. Fowler's Mersey 14 to 1 „ Mr. Fairlie's Zohrab 14 to 1 „ Mr. Clarke's Magician 16 to 1 „ Lord Derby's Parolies (1k) 20 to 1 „ Mr. Barrow's Catherine (take 25) 20 to 1 „ Mr. Bower's Lord Stafford 20 to 1 „ Mr. Houldsworth's Combat 200 to 7 „ Mr. Cooke's Rachel to 3• „ Conservative (1k) 50 to 1 „ Galewood (taken.)

The successful dog, Sultan, in the great contest decided over Southport, is not the bona fide property of Mr. Clayton, of Preston, who nominated him, but of Mr. Read, of Clayton, near Chorley ; that gentleman purchased him, when five months' old, for ten shillings. It appears his public work this year, so far as we can glean, do not entitle him to be worth a thought in the eyes of the spectators. Nor does it, we are given to under stand, now strike many persons that, on the 13th and 14th of November, he was clearly beat over the Southport ground—say, in the Rossall Puppy Cup, be beat Cora (Mr. Craven's) in the first ties; and then, in the second ties, Mr. Weatherald's Swal low defeated him ; Mr. Chew's Venus, in the deciding course. beating Swallow. On the following day, in the Crusslands' Stakes, Mr. Hunt's Rector beat him in his first course ; Mr. 8., Robinson's Empress beating, in the deciding course, Rector, easy. His portrait was taken yesterday. THE BALLOT.—In illustration of the working of the ballot system, it may be mentioned, that iu the common council of London, a few years no, this famous nostrum was found to be such a cover fur fraud and deception, that it was abolished, the proposi!ion for that purpose hav►ng come from the " Liberal" party, bitterly disappointed at the result of an election wherein they had the major►ty of the promises, but the minority of the votes. On Wednesday last, Mr. Thomas Povey, police officer of Preston, in Lancashire, visited this town to persuit of a person named William Forrester, a solicitor's clerk, who stands charged wbith having embezzled a large sum of money, received by him for Mr. James Bailey, solicitor of Warrington. his master. Intimation was instantly given to Mr. Brown, superintendent of police, who der.patched inspector Bailes to accompany the visiting officer in search of the accused, whom they soon dis covered and took into custody. He was sent off to Warrington the same evening.—Sunderland }Jerald. THE GLORIOUS UNCERTAINTY OF THE LAW.—On Monday • :last, at the Yorkshire assizes, a man named William Smith, pleaded guilty to forging a bill of exchange fur the payment of I:6o.—The Honourable Mr Wortley, who was counsel for the prisoner, said, he hoped his lordship (Sergeant Atchei ley, who was presiding fur Mr. Justice Coleridge) would allow the prisoner to retract his plea, because the objection be was about to make must, by law, be made before pleading. The indictment charged the offence as having been in the reign of his lute majesty, and concluded, that it was " against the peace of our sovereign lady the queen, her crown, and dignity." He, therefore, submitted that the indictment was bad, and begged to put in his demurrer. —The learned Sergeant said, he would leave the case at present, and consult the judges on the point.—On the following day Smith was again placed at the bar, when Mr. Wortley renewed his application, and Mr. Noggins was heard in reply. Mr. Justice Coleridge admitted Mr. Wortley's demurrer ; and Smith, who before hart pleaded guilty, was immediately dis charged.—Doncaster Ga;ette. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE AT HASTINGS.—A coroner's inquest was held on Thursday last, at the Pelham Arms Inn, on the body of Lieutenant-General W. Miller, director general of the royal artillery, &c.; when it appeared that the deceased had for some time contemplated self-destruction, and had attempted to put a period to his existence by means of poison before he quitted . Woolwich. The deceased left his residence in Den 7 mark-place, about twelve on Tuesday, having previously,en gagtd to dine ,with Major Saunders, of his own corps, no* living in Pelham Crescent ; but not returning within the given time. Miss Miller, his daughter, at three o'clock, made a com munication to Major Saunders, to the effect that sbe was alarmed at her parent's absence." The crier was immedi ately sent through the town, stating that a gentleman of the description of the deceased (at given by his friends) was Missing. Much excitement was thereby caused, aunt every effort was made to find him; but he was not discovered until the ensuing morning, when the Hastings and St. Leonard's hatriers dis covered the body, though not dead, in a.shaw, near Hastings. When found, it was discovered that his throat was dreadfully cut ; and before he could be removed from the spot, he had ceased to breathe. Major Saunders, Lieut. E. Slatierley, and the sou of the deceased, were examined relative to the state of the deceased's mind; and the evidence clearly established the melancholy fact, that the gentleman had committed the deed while labouring under temporary insanity. The jury .returned a verdict acccordin,ely.—Susses • Expi GOTHA CANAL,--The greatest of all the Swedish national undektakings is the Gotha Canal, which is reckoned 'the most stupendous of the kind in the north of Europe. The grand project of uniting the Baltic and the Cattegat, by opening a passage across. the country through the lakes, had occurred to Johan Brask, Bishop of Linkoping, so early as the end of the, 15th century, during the wars with Denmark, when the occu , pation of the Sound, by a hostile power, arrested the irnportaa lion of the necessary articles of consumption into Sweden. Charles XII. revived the design, and employed in his execution the celebrated engineer, Pelheim; but his death caused a second interruption ; nor was the work resumed until 1754, in the reign of Adolphus Frederick. The chief difficuly• was to overcome the natural obstructions caused by the famous cata racts of 'l'rulhmtta, which rendered the navigation at that part of the stream altogether impracticable. This they attempted to effect by means of dams and sluices, constructed in the bed of the river at vast labour and expense. At length, after many obstacles and delays, partly the effect of these ill-judged mitt sureq, the canal was completed in 18(Y.), upon a plan suggested by Gustavus 111. which dtrects the waters into a separate than eel, thus entirely avoiding the falls and whirlpools that bad baffled all the efforts of the original projector. Time new cut is excavated through the solid rock to the ex'ent of 4,700 feet, the . depth is 11, and the breadth '2l feet. It has nine basins or locks, five of which are hollowed in a rock 110 feet high. By these • means the waters of Wiener are conducted over three separate I declivities into time Gotha, 126 feet lower than the surface of the • lake. —Edinburgh Cabinet Library, Scandinavia, Ancient amid Modern.

Liverpool, 21st March, 1838. SIR,—I beg to inform you, for the intormation of the Under writers, that at 430 a.m. yesterday, the ship Mary Somerville came i❑ contact with the vessel called the arm's Delight,* when iu about ten minutes the Liner vessel suuk. I have the happiness to say we succeeded in iaving'the whole of her crew. The ship was at the time between Point Lynas and the Sker rie.s, om the starboard tack, under double .reefed topsails and foresail, blowing fresh, with heavy squalls and thick weather; the vessel was so Close before .we , cduld see her, and ascertain which way she was standing, that 1 deem the misfortune one of perfect accident, and totally impossible for either vessel to have prevented. I am, sir, your obedient servant, James Hookey, Commander of the ship Mary Somerville. * 97 years old. -• . The venerable Dowager Countess of Cork and Orrery, who iA now in her 92 year, gave her first dinner for the season on Monday, in Burlington-street. The counless,.hotwithstanding her great age, enjoys pretty good health,,and travelled last week 92 miles in one day. Her Majesty the Queen, at the instance of the royal and noble directors of the Ancient Concert, has been graciously pleased to grant her royal license and permission that this con cert shall in future be denominated "'!he Queen's Conceit of Ancient 11Iusic." Lord Arundel, on Monday. took the oath in the House o Lords, prescribed by the Act 10Gee..1V., to be taken by peers professing the Roman Catholic Lord Brougham's rival bill to that of Lord Glenelgis inTitled "An Act for putting an end to the Apprenticeshipof those who were formerly Slaves in the British Colonies." B.

MAIDSTONE ELECTION.—No candidate has hitherto made his appearance against Mr. Fector, whose canvass leaves no doubt of his success at the approaching election, no matter who may be persuaded to throw away his time and money in oppos ing him. The election as fixed for Monday next. THE LATE FATAL FIGHT.—It is understood that aninves- tigation into the conduct of the local magistracy, for neglecting their duty, will be commenced forthwith. Letters have already been dispatched front the Home-office to the several parties implicated, calling upon them for an explanation. Yesterday the police were on the look out for Brown, one of Phelps' seconds, who was to have fought with a baker, named Stevens, but the fight did not " come off." It is given out in the sport ing-houses, that Swift has left the kingdom via Southampton, but this is a mere feint. It is quite impossible that he can have been moved alive for so great a distance. Many persons assert most positively that be is, dead, and that the affair will not be made public till after the trial of the seconds. THE SMALL. Pox.—ln Sherborne, as well as many other towns and villages in the west, the ravages of the small pox are making frightful havoc, not only amongst the itifantine portion of the community, but even adHlts have iu many in stances fallen victims to its virulence. In Milborne Port this has been particularly the case. It is a pity that the profession do not, by scone well organised and determined effort, avail themselves of the power which the law gives them to put a stop to the proceedings of those unqualified itinerant inoculators— t hose wretched propagators of pestilence and death.—Sherborne Junroul. pipping Entatigenct, TUESDAY, MARCH 20.—Wind W.N.

The imports of Wheat, Oats, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland, and of Malt and Barley coastways, have again been very considerable since this day week ; we have notwithstanding experienced a very steady demand for every article in the trade, at fully our last quota tMos, which in some instances, for the finer qualities, have been a little exceeded. The imports of Wheat from the east coast, into Wake field last week have also again been very large, (21,680 quarters,) but the prices have advanced Is per quarter in the Yorkshire markets, and at Manchester, on Saturday, sales to a fair extent were made of Irish Oats, Flour and Meal from this port, and of English Wheat from the interior, at a small improvement on last week's prices. The only al teration in the duties on Grain from foreign ports since Friday is an increase of Is 6d per quarter on Rye. Some further sales of Wheat in bond have been made for export at a small advance, in proportion to qualities, but not warranting any dedided alteration in our general quotations, though som cargoes of most superior qualities of red quotations, and white I)antzic are held at 5s Oct to tis per 701ba ; some trivial sales of Flour and Oats in bond have also been made at the prices quoted. The motion made in the House of Commons on Thurs day last, for an alteration or repeal of the preSent Corn Laws was negatived by a large majority 300 to 951—the fate of this motion was so confidently thus anticipated by the Corn trade gent.rally, that the result had no influence or etfect thereon. At this day's market we experienced dull sales for Wheat and for all other articles in the trade, and the prides of this day week were) barelo obtainable, except for Oats and Oatmeal, of which sales to a moderate extent Were made at fully the pricealast quoted, and for superior qualities at a small ad vance.

LONDON COLONIAL MA.Ri(ET, MARCH 20. SUGAR.—This afternoon importers generally submitted to a further reduction on Friday's prices of Is, but still there was again very little business doing, both grocers and refiners coming forward reluctantly, and the purchases do not exceed 200' hhds-and tea ; 55s to 50s accepted for strong brown St. Kitts for refining, and 58s for middling yelt ow Tobago ; several of the cargoes lately arrived from Demerara and Ber bice were on show. FOR'EIGH.—The good strong description* of Ilavana and Brazil con. tinue to be much wanted to supply immediate orders, and would coni mand fair market rates, but the supply being very short, and high prices demanded, still checks business. MOLASSES.—For West India there is at present •no +lnland, and parcels are ofierin,g at 2s decline, but without meeting with buyers. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no public sale of any kind, and privately there is no demand for either East or West India. Foreign is more inquired after, and a floating cargo of 2004 Rio has been sold at 41s per cwt. Rum, lis,ANov and HOLLANDS.—.-We have still to report an active demand for all descriptions o f Rum ; prices have further i mproved , and now rate 'ld per gallon above those of this day week. For Geneva there are still few orders, and there ate sellers at is loa to is l Id, being again rather lower. Brandy has been in good demand both for home consumption and export, and `rather higher prices haye been obtained. British Corn S p irits st ' ady at 9s 8d p e r gallon.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 21, There was a fair show of Wheat from' Kettt this morning; but very little from any other part ; t he con d ition of t h e sa mples was generally. .pretty good, and althOugh the'trade was not brisk the factdrs succeeded in realising Monday's prices for fine parcels of both old and new. Flour steady at late rates. Of Barley we had a fair quantity on sale ; only a small . proportion, however, was of fine quality ; such conse quently readily found buyers on former terms ; secondary kinds were likewise somewhat more saleable. The supply of Oats from our own coast has been tolerably good, sincdllohday, but the arrivals from Scotland and Ireland only limited. The sales tO-day were not very considerable, still prices were rather higher than otherwise. In Beans and Peas little passing, and the value of both articles unvaried. PRICES OF -SHARE-.
