Following the direction of the vet eran Pennant, to obtain the most extensive view of the remarkable town and islet of Holyhead, I bent my way to the summit of the mountain of Caer Gybi, accompanied by the friend I had before acci dentally met with in Carnarvonshire. It was that same Caer Gybi on which anciently stood the Druidical altar of sacri fice, and where afterwards arose an encampment for the con quering Roman, of which there are still sufficient fragments left to point out the figure of its enclosing wall. At every step I observed evidences of the rapid increase of this once poor fishing village, as Holyhead might formerly have been called, now spreading on every side, and supporting an active and flourishing population. From the summit we had a com plete view of the promontory, and could mark its varying breadth and inequalities, and its storm-indented figure. It was approaching the hour of high water, and I could distin guish the lashing of the waves upon the precipices which tower sublimely above the ocean ; and the scream of the sea birds, sailing around the tremendous caverns open to the waters, might be distinctly heard. Far below me lay the Pier on the island of Ynys Halen. with the Lighthouse at the extremity; the harbour with its vessels and smaller craft in different stages of preparation ; and close to the quay, the Postoffice packet busily preparing for immediate sail. I was struck with the singular wildness and variety of the prospect far over sea and land ; the vast expanding waters—the Skerry rocksthe lighthouses, and other objects of interest, opened out on every side perspi cuously to the view. After describing the public works—the noble pier of 1,000 feet in length—the untimely fate of the late Capt. Skinner, of the Lightning steam-packet, &c., the tourist thus notices THE HOLYHEAD PIER LIGHTHOUSE. . The morning was now calm, the waters smooth and bright ; but I pictured to myself the advantages of the Pier Light house when the storm is up,—when the glorious beacon sends forth its refulgent beams through the blackness of the tempest, on the dark winter nights. It is bUilt of Moelfre stone, a kind of marble, on an inverted arch, its base being six feet above high water; and contains twenty lamps and reflectors, exhibiting a strong white light in every direction, elevated fifty or sixty feet above the sea. I noticed a lamp and reflector, placed opposite an aperture twenty feet below the lantern showing a red light. This is not seen by vessels until they have cleared all the . rocks outside, when it at once appears, and the vessel alters her course, and runs for the Pierhead with confidence. In thick weather the packets are guided by signal guns and bells, which are so well arranged that sometimes the Pier Lighthouse has been the first object seen after crossing the channel from Dublin. - - - Our author neat proceeds in a small boat to obtain a view of intptrtal parlianunt, HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY THE LATE DEBATE. Mr. FIELDEN entered into a statement, but in so low a tone of voice that the particulars could not be heard ; we, however, understood the hon. member to say that, at two o'clock on Wednesday morning, he (Mr. Fielden) moved that the then debate on the sugar duties should be adjourned, which motion was regularly seconded, but it was not put from the chair. He therefore wished to know why his mo tion for adjournment was rejected—why it was not put from the chair? The SPEAKER said he certainly was of opinion that the motion of the hon. member for Oldham was not seconded, and therefore he did not put it from the chair. He paused for two or three moments, and he did not see any one rise to second the motion ; if he had, it would have been his duty to put it from the chair. (Hear.) Mr. WAKLEY said he rose to second the motion, but could easily imagine, from the noise which prevailed in the house at the time, that the right hon. gentleman m did not hear him. (Hear, hear.) The SPEAKER repeated that he heard no seconder, and that was the impression of honourable members who were near him. Mr. FIELDEN.—In consequence of the debate being over on Wednesday morning, I had not an opportunity of speak ing; but I have written my intended speech in full, and sent it to the newspapers. (Loud laughter.) Hon. members might laugh, but he thought s great dt'al'of the time of that house would be spared if metnbers wbtild write what they are to say before speaking. (Laughter.) Tie had sent his speech to the papers, in order that hon. members and the country might know his sentiments on the subject."lLaughter.) THE LATE ELOPEMENT FROM PARIS.—The Polish cava lier who ran away a few days since with the Princess of Spain, the daughter of the Infant Don Francisco, has re ceived the reward of his audacity by being honoured with the consent of the prince and princess to his legal marriage with the head-strong and weak-hearted young lady. The only condition imposed by the parents is that the happy couple are to be happy out of and not in France. They are prohibited from crossing the frontier, and have all Europe open to them, with the exception of the Eden of Spain and its northern limit, France. The Poles have become the rage at Paris since this adventure, and every gentleman with a sky in bis name is deemed quite celestial. INNOVATIONS OF DISSENTERS. — The period at length ar rived when, in 1829, the dissenters gave the right hand of fel lowship to the Irish Papists. The committees of the three denominations, and the Society for the Protection of Religi ous Liberty, petitioned for what was falsely denominated " Catholic emancipation"—and Baptists, Socinians, Inde pendents, Arians, and infidels, signed the same rolls of parch ment, calling upon parliament to destroy for ever the Protes tant constitution of these realms. This fatal measure was passed. This panacea for all the woes of_" 'old Ireland" re ceived the royal assent; the victor on -l a'thousand battle fields was vanquished by petitions; and Sir Robert Peel, who had once fought for the cause of that church to which he had devoted his best and earliest years, lent the weight of his name and example to a measure which was " to be at once healing and final." But both the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel have been deceived and disappointed. The dissenters are more clamorous and the Papists less satisfied in 1841 than in 1829, and still the cry against the Protestant church is loud and reiterated—" Raze it ! raze it ! even to the foundations." THE SOUTH STACK, AND ITS LIGHTHOUSE. Being a fine day I determined on inspecting the South Stack, an insulated rock, situated about four miles from Holyhead, on which a conspicuous lighthouse has been erected, through the zeal and ability of Captain Evans. Our little pinnace, with its white sail, and manned by four stout seamen, was soon waiting to convey us on our cruize. The atmosphere was clear, and the weather calm, but accompanied by those sudden fresh breezes which are so frequent in our island home. The boat bore off the coast to the distance required, drawing nearer the rocks,' or receding at pleasure, to gain as full and varied a view of the *scene as possible. In wildness and stern grandeur of aspect, no place, assuredly, can surpass this portion of the Anglesey coast. About midway of the voyage we proceeded with great difficulty ; calm as it appeared, owing to the strong currents, we were soon obliged to lower sail. and take to the oars with long and strong pulls. As we advanced, the grand promontory with its towering precipitous cliffs—its magnificent caverned rocks, and bleak indented sides, appeared to the utmost advantage. The effect, as we drew nearer and nearer within the verge of these tremendous caverns was appalling. At least, when we came under the black shadows of the superambient rocks, and ap proached the dismal chasms, and heard the wild plaintive cry of the sea-birds, wheeling above our heads, it was impossible not to feel sensations equally unexpected and solemn. Grand receding arches of different shapes, supported by pillars of rock, formed by the incessant action of the waves, which, in stormy weather, roll with terrific violence against this high and rocky coast, exhibit a strange magnificence—a wild and savage beauty, mingled with a dread repose which con tinues to haunt the imagination even after quitting the scene. Seated among the rocks, cr whirling in airy circles above and around us I saw the various birds which seek these soli tary abodes. I could not look upon them without an interest seldom inspired by the tamer species : whether curlews, gulls, razorbills, guillemots, cormorants, or herons, there is some thing wild and eccentric in their habits and appearance, which produce ideas of solitude and freedom ; for we feel that they are not our slaves, but commoners of nature. On one of the loftiest crags, I observed what I took to be a pere grine falcon,—one of those feudal warriors who has survived his fame, no longer the companion of courts and courtly halls. There are few objects more interesting than the appearance of the • South Stack, when approaching it from the water. Its wild site and deserted air,—the lighthouse towering seventy feet in height,—the heat, comfortable bbildings close under its guardian wing,—the sounds of life and industry mingled with the lashing of the sea, and the cry of innumer able birds, circling above and around, were altogether of so unwonted a character, that had I been suddenly transported to the antipodes I could not have felt more unfeigned sur prise : and when, after ascending its steep and rocky stairs, I gazed from the summit of the lighthouse on the wilderness of waters far around, and, descending, entered the quiet pleasant retreat which the master has established here, and saw the neatness and comfort of every thing, I began to think I was perhaps only reading too abstractedly some old fairy .tale. But Captain Evans soon convinced me to the contrary by introducing me to an excellent dinner, in which there was nothing dreamy or unsubstantial, though it appeared, indeed, conjured from the vasty deep ! During the afternoon I amused myself in scrambling down the South Stack to the water's edge—in observing the myriads of gulls standing on the ledges of the rock, or flying about in all directions—in examining the suspension bridge—and scaling the towering acclivity above, from which the island and lighthouse appear but di minutive objects ; while the ever-varying ocean was enlivened by numerous vessels passing up or down the channel. The suspension bridge which connects the South Stack Rock with the Head was formed in 1827, at the suggestion and under the superintendence of Captain Evans. It is over a chasm nearly one hundred feet in width, and built on the same principles as the Menai—two chain cables passing across, firmly fixed in the rocks on each side. It is five feet wide, and seventy feet above high-water mark. Before its erection, to see the lighthouse, persons were wafted over the abyss in a kind of basket, which was also used for the purpose of conveying the necessaries of life in stormy weather. Ireland, its Scenery, Character, kc. By Mr. and Mrs. E Hall. How and Parsons, London Part VII. of this work has appeared, and presents (as, in deed, we anticipated) attractions not inferior to the numbers that have preceded it. Mrs. Hall—for hers is the " master" pen from which emanate these pleasing delineations of scenery and character—is possessed of that enthusiasm which is inseparable from genius, and continues the arduous task she has marked out for herself with increasing ardour as she proceeds. With a perfect knowledge of the localities, the customs, habits, virtues, vices, and superstitions of her coun trymen, she goes to work con amore, and without exhibiting fatigue to herself, maintains an undiminished interest in her narrations, and leads her readers to enjoy the beauties, and to sympathize with miseries of her native land. It is per haps the greatest praise that we can bestow to say, without reference to that gallantry which courtesy awards to the sex, that we wander with her through the varied scenes she so graphically describes ; that we behold with her, and converse, too with the charactilTs whose portraitures she so feelingly and accurately describes,—for there is that vrais-semblance in her delineations that leaves no doubt of their fidelity. The present part is chiefly devoted to the continuation and con clusion of her sketches of Waterford. The illustrations are exceedingly beautiful In this point there is no falling off, which is more than can be said of some similar works of equal pretension. The engravings are delicately fine and minute,—being executed in the first style. The view of Lis mors Castle, the•seat of the Duke of Devonshire, one of the most princely private edifices in Ireland, and embosomed in scenery not exceeded by the richness of the Italian landscape is a very gem, and that of the quay at Waterford is scarcely, if at all, of inferior merit, whether in drawing or execution. The numerous wood-cuts are also admirably executed, and possess a degree of interest and effect not surpased, perhaps not equalled, by any previous productions in an art peculiarly adapted to iilustration from its typographic adaptation. We would instance " Tossing the Pancake," of which there is a description that reminds us of Burns's Hallowe'en; the Castle on the Cliff overhanging the river Blackwater ; and another View of Lismore Castle, chiefly celebrated as the birth-place of the famous Robert Boyle. The descriptive portioni of the work are relieved by historical reminiscences, as well as by a variety of anecdotes, traditions, and touches of native character, amongst which those of " The Irish Waiters," will provdke much amusement. We submit the following brief, and, consequently, inadequate extracts : sm CASTLE. " The approach to L ' is i nao ° re ß i g s pictu resque and beautiful ; the river ceases to be navigable a short distance to Cappoquin, and a canal to facilitate intercoursef with the town has been cut, at the expense of the D uke Devonshir e. ; one of the few absentee landlords, (if. indeed his name is to be entered on the list,) who is continually lalc: l ouin i g to benefit and im prove a country from which he deri ves an considerable pro portion of his income. The canal roue for th r ough a finely-planted pleasure -ground • and nearly all the some miles way, the noble cast le, hi g h above the level of is the wter, kept in view , cro wnin g a landsca p e at onc e magnificent andgraceful. " The district surrounding . Lismore was part of the grant es to Sir Walter Raleigh , and was included in the estate s quently sold by him to the Earl of Cork. The castle sus - - tained many sieges during th e several Irish wars; and in 1641, was gallantly defended by the young Lord . Broghill ; it derives greater fame, however, from bein g the birth -place of Robert Boyle, the philosopher, who was born in the castle on the 25th January, 1626-7 ; he was the seventh son, and and fourteenth child of the first Earl of Co rk. It is situated on a steep rock, rising perpendicularly f ro m the river; to look down from one of its chamber windows would make the clearest head dizzy. From this point, however, the prospect is sublime to a degree; the Blackwater winding through a verdant plain ; the mighty mountains on either side ; and immediately beneath, the thick foliage of gigantic trees, over- THE 'SUGAR DUTIES The CHANCELLOR •of the EXCHEQUER rose amidst the most profound silence. The right hon. gentleman said,—l rise, sir, to give notice that on Monday next .I shall move that the house resolve itself into a'committee of ways and means, and in that committee I shall move the usual annual resolution for the renewal of the sugar duties. (Hear, hear, hear, from both sides of the house, and great laughter.) ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the house at its rising do adjourn until Monday next. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheering from the Treasury benches.)—Agreed to. THE CORN-LAWS The Earl of DARLINGTON then rose and said, the noble lord had not made any statement to the house in consequence of his extraordinary defeat the other night. (Hear.) After that remarkable division against him the noble lord and his colleagues still continued in office with a 'temerity unparal leled in the history of the country. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and " Order.") The noble earl continued : I rose for the purpose of asking the noble lord opposite on what day he intended to bring forward the question of the corn laws. (Hear, hear.) • ' • Lord J. RussELL.—On 'Friday, the 4th of June. (Loud cries of Hear, hear.) • The house, which had been crowded to excess up to this time, was in a few minutes nearly deserted. A general ex pectation prevailed that there would have been a ministerial statement as to the future intentions' of the Cabinet, but not a word more than is above reported occurred. ROYAL MARINES Lord G. LENNox moved for a committee of the whole house, to take into consideration so much of the report of the naval and military commission as relates to the recommen dations relative to the royal marines. Sir H. VIVIAN opposed the motion, which, after some dis cussion, was withdraNtn. Mr. MACLEAN moved for some returns, calculated to show the operation of the Anatomy Act. Mi. Fox MAVLE objected - to some of the returns, and said that to the others he haclno objection. He would, probably, on a future evening, move for a committee on the subject. Mr. WAICLEY said that the act vas working in a most sa tisfactory manner, and without the recurrence of those scenes of violation of th'e'egrave, which were formerly as nu merous as disgusting. The returns, to which no objection was made, were then ordered. The orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned until Monday next. A COURAGEOUS WOMAN.—Schweighause Forest, near Rotisbon, has, for a considerable time past, been infested by a band of robbers, headed by a daring fellow, named Leopold Hansel, a native of Steinsberg, and notwithstanding the most active researches on the part of the Bavarian authorities, he and his followers always escape. The reason is, that many of the inhabitants of the surrounding country, from fear or participation, favour him, and render every pursuit of the police abortive. On Sunday, the 2d instant, during the time of divine service, two of his followers came to the solitary farm of Stegweis, in the district of the Regenstauf. All the family were absent, except the farmer's daughter. The rob bers knocked at the door and demanded victuals and leave to rest themselves within. Their suspicious appearance and behaviour made her cautious, and instead of opening the door she handed out a good large luncheon through the win dow. This did not satisfy her visitors ; they called for more, and insisted on being admitted. As the woman firmly re fused to open the door, they threatened to break in and to put her instantly to death. The brave girl was not dismayed, but taking an old musket which was at hand, she pointed it at one of the robbers, who had already smashed the window. The gun, however, was not loaded, and the robber did not move from the window ; then, gathering up her strength, she made a run at his head in the manner of a bayonet charge. The muzzle of the musket struck him with great force on the temple, and he fell bleeding and apparently lifeless to the ground. The other ruffian did not think it advisable to continue the contest with such an Amazon, and carried off his wounded companion to the wood.—Ratiabon Journal. FEMALE BEAUTY PREVALENT IN AMERICA.—The wo men, moreover, are much handsomer than the men. They are almost uniformly good-looking : the greater number are what would be called in England pretty women,'! which is something between good-looking and handsome, in the nice distinctions of beauty. This uniformity extends also to their figures, which are almost universally slender, and of good symmetry. Very few large or stout women are seen, and none that Are should call masculine. A. more than usual de gree of feminine delicacy, enhanced by the general paleness of complexion and slightness of figure, is particularly cha racteristic of American females ; and the extreme respect and deference shown to them everywhere by men, has a ten dency to increase that delicacy, by making them more de pendent on the attention and assistance of others, than English ladies of the same class usually are.—Buckingham's America. SINGULAR HABIT OF A DOG.-It had been observed that a dog belonging to Mrs. Sharp, butcher, of Warwick, had been very regular .of late, in his attendance upon a cow belonging to her,and that he would daily steal away from home to visit his horned friend while she was grazing on the Race Common. This exciting curiosity, the gentleman of Barks was watched in his visits to his favourite, and it was discovered, about ten days ago, that he was in the habit of sucking milk from the cow with all the ease and relish of an infant calf, to which her cowship yields with the affection of a mother nourishing her own offspring! While the nurse is standing, he raises himself on his hind-legs to suck, but when she is lying down he " takes it easy." She fondles and licks him as if he were but a little one of her own produce ; and if another cow ventures even to look frowningly at her adopted, she "looks daggers" in return, and threatens fighting iu his defence. The cow is of the Alderney breed, and the dog is spaniel. The steam-boats of America differ very much from those of England, both in external appearance, and in internal ar rangement. Instead of having, as with us, the engines be low, and the cabins for passengers beneath the main eek, it is the custom here to devote the lower part of the vessel to the stowage of the cargo ; and on the main deck are placed the engines, one on each side, with a large chimney rising from each, so that the operations of the machinery are visible above the deck. The after-part is laid out in sleeping-cabins for passengers ; and above this, on another deck, is generally the dining-room in the centre; besides this, there is usually a separate saloon for ladies, and one for gentlemen, as drawing rooms. In some of the larger steam-boats, there is yet another deck placed above this, called the hurricane deck, because of the wind being more felt there than below. This makes the fourth deck from the keel, and is generally a mere elevated platform, supported by stanchions or wooden pil lars, from the deck below ; being perfectly unobstructed above, and out of the way of all the operations of the crew, so that passengers seated along its sides, or walking in its centre, may enjoy undisturbed the most extensive prospects on all sides around, and the fulness of the sea and river breez3.—Buckingham's America. THE CHEAP-BREAD CRIC.—At Derby, the attempt to get up a little agitation on behalf of ministers has failed. The effort is confined to hole-and-corner work.—The notorious Arland has undertaken the mission into Buckinghamshire, and miserably failed. All he has done has been to earn his wages. Yet the lying papers on the other side say the fellow has carried " dismay into the tory camp." " Very like a whale."—Arland has also been in Bedfordshire, and his suc cess may be judged from the following :—On Saturday a large meeting of gentry was held on the subject, and there were present Lord C. Russell, Lord Alford, Lord St. John, and other influential persons. A resolution in favour of the corn laws was moved. Mr. S. Whitbread moved an amend ment in favour of the ministers, and Mr. W. Whitbread seconded. On a show of hands ten were held up for the amendment! It was then unanimously resolved to send to send to both houses an expression of alarm at the government proposition.—At St. George's, Southwark, a meeting in public vestry was called to favour the cheap bread cry, but out of 5000 rate-payers only 40 attended. These agreed to petition, but they could only raise 16s to pay an expense of 245, incurred in sending out the notices ! The chairman ex pressed his entire dissent from the whole proceeding.—ln the Tower Hamlets great exertions are being made, and children are invited to sign petitions.—ln Finsbury the allure was ludicrous. The London Standard of Tuesday gives the following account :—" In the great radical borough of Fins bury we naturally expected to find commercial agitation at fever height. We arrived at eight o'clock precisely, and found the room in which the meeting was to be held in com parative darkness, and two reformers sitting in one corner, who were vigourously discussing the cheering prospects of the anti-corn-law agitation. At half past eight o'clock 20 persons were present, and Mr. Nicholls having been moved to the chair, Mr. Hewitt proposed a series of resolutions favourable to the ministerial plan, expressing " the indigna tion" of the 20 reformers at " the attempt made by the to ries," &c. Various members talked an infinite deal of no thing," and the resolutions were put and carried." The following romantic story is related by the Sentinelle, of Bayonne :—`, Marie, an orphan girl, was returning one evening with a flock of sheep beloaging to her aunt, who lived in the village of Lice, in the Pyrennees, and had brought her up from her infancy, when she heard cries of d!stress from the summit of Montjaurat, down which she had herself descended a considerable way, Yielding to her good feelings, she left her charge and re ascended, until on a nar row plateau near the top, she saw a man in mortal struggle with an enormous bear. With undaunted courage she as sailed the ferocious animal with her iron shod crook, and soon turned its rage upon herself. The man thus freed from the grasp of his redoubtable enemy, became again the assailant, and, with the effective aid of the girl, at length succeeded in destroying the animal. Meanwhile a violent storm came on, and dispersed the flock of Marie. The ways were steep and dangerous, and Manech, the young Basque whom she had helped, was grateful, collected her sheep, and drove them home. An intimacy naturally ensued. Marie was pretty and confiding, as well as brave. The consequences were, that she became in a likely state to make herself a mother and Manech a father. He had true love as well as passion, and, representing the beauty, courage, and affection of Marie to his father, requested his consent to their marriage. The father, however, not only disapproved of it, but com manded his son, under pain of disinheritance and maledic tion, to prepare to wed a bride whose fortune would increase his own already ample store. Overwhelmed with despair, the lovers made a mutual vow to die together. A false sense of duty, however, induced the youth to comply so far with his father's commands as to go to church and plight his faith to the wife chosen for him by his inexorable parent. The moment the ceremony was concluded, he turned from his, bride, and, pushir b er his father aside with marks of indigna tion, forced his way through the assembledcrowd, and rushed with all his velocity to the well-known summit of Montjau rat, where the poor deserted Marie had arrived before him, faithful to the fatal assignation previously made. He called to her. She heard his voice ; but, fearing his presence might shake her resolution, she did not wait for his approach, but plunged down a tremendous precipice. The next moment Manech followed her down the gulph, and some days after their mangled bodies were found lying close together on the rock below." DEATH OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE OF SIERRA LEONE.—We learn by a private letter just received from Bathurst, on the river Gambia (west coast of Africa), that on the 12th of March last, a most melancholy accident' happened to Mr. Flintorf, who had just arrived from England as Chief Justice of Sierra Leone, whither he was going to hold the assizes on the 16th. He went to visit the convalescent house (a government build ing), about six miles from BathurSt, 'in company with the Clerk of the Crown and his lady, Mr. and Mrs. Mantel'. They travelled part of the way on horseback, and the re mainder by water ; on their return it was previously agreed that all parties should ride, but when they came to the beach, which is the only road, it was proposed by the Chief Justice that Mrs. Mantell and he should return in the boat, and Mr. Mantell ride along the beach in company with them. After some demur on the part of Mrs. Mantel!, the proposal of the Chief Justice was agreed to, when, melancholy to say, they had not rowed 100 yards before the boat upset, and both par ties and one boatman were drowned in the presence of Mr. Mantell, who, from his inability to swim, could not offer the slightest assistance. The body of Mrs. Mantel' was driven on shore by the waves in six hours after, but that of the Chief Justice was not found till the following morning. What makes the occurrence more distressing is, that the Chief Ju stice left his lady and four children in England to proceed after him direct to Sierra Leone, and the first news which must reach her after her arrival at her destination is the death of her husband.— Westmeath Guardian. INGENIOUS ESCAPE. — During the last two days considera ble sensation has been occasioned amongst the sheriff's offi cers of the metropolis, particularly those of Surrey, in con sequence of an escape being effected by a young female of the name of Rosa Grady, late landlady of the Griffin public house, White-street, Borough, from the custody of Coxe, the sheriff, George-street, Blackfriars-road, which was ef fected in the following ingenious manner. It appears that Miss Grady became indebted to Mr. Henry John Nicholson, of Vine-street, Westminster, who having been informed that his debtor was about leaving the kingdom sued out a writ in the Court of Common Pleas, which being intrusted to Coxe, he at once made his caption. The defendant immediately requested to be conveyed to his house, as she intended to bail the action and bring it into court. The arrest took place on Tuesday week, and upon the Thursday following Mr. Nicholson had to attend upon a judge's order before Mr. Justice Erskine to show cause why the defendant should not be bailed, upon the ground that she had no intention of leaving the kingdom. The order was quashed, and Miss Grady returned back to her old quarters. Coxe allowed the friends of the defendant to visit her at all hours. On Wed nesday or Thursday morning two females called, one of whom had an infant in her arms, and were, as a matter of course, admitted ; after being upstairs a short time they descended, when the child, which one of the females had, suddenly burst out into a violent fit of crying, upon which the mother put her face to that of the infant, and in that position they went out. By some of the neighbours it was observed that the female who had the infant handed her charge over to her companion and jumped into a cab, which was standing by the door, and drove off at a rapid rate. It ought here to be stated that Mrs. Coxe, the mother of the proprietor, was what is termed upon the key. After the lapse of some time, an old woman came down stairs, apparently from the room occupied by the debtor, and with a great deal of apparent simplicity asked Mrs. Coxe if she could tell her where she could get a gown washed for Miss Grady. A reply was given in the negative, when the old woman was let out. Immedi ately after Mrs. Coxe thought that she had only let in two females, while three had gone out. She went up stairs, and found to her great discomfiture that their prisoner had es caped. Coxe immediately took a cab, and proceeded to Euston-square, anticipating th a t hi s l a t e prisoner had gone by the Birmingham railway, b u t u p on his arrival there no tidings could be obtained. It has since been ascertained that Miss Grady acted the part of the mother to the child, and had disguised her head by a wig; and to perfect the decep tion, on reaching the bottom of the stairs pinched the causing it to cry, and in the act of apparently pacifying it she hid her face. The worst part of the joke is, that Coxe is liable for the debt and expenses, the plaintiff having expressed his determination to come on the sheriff for them. AN OLD HOAX REVIVED.—One of those stale tricks which have so frequently been fully exposed through the medium of the press, took place on Thursday, and the dupe on this occasion, although a respectable man, declared, to the asto nishment of the officer on' duty at the Greenwich station house, that he had never read or heard of any similar case before. Richard Smith, captain of the brig Express, of Whitby, now lying at the platform, London-bridge, was go ing over the bridge about half-past twelve o'clock on Thurs day, when he was 'rnet by a thin, sickly, sallow -complexioned man, who asked him if he was not a north country captain ; and on replying that he was, and from Whitby, the stranger said that would just suit him, as he wished to forward his son to his home there, finding that a press of business in London would not permit of his departure for several days. In answer to other inquiries, Captain Smith said he would take the stranger's son to Whitby for £l, and agreed to ac company the sharper to a public-house, to make arrange ments. While there, a tall, stout, sandy-whiskered man came in, who knew the first sharper, and they entered into general conversation about politics. The corn laws being a prominent feature, it gave him an opportunity of enlarging on the benefit he had recently derived from an accession of good fortune, he having just bad left him a landed estate in Cornwall, and £lOOO in the funds. He further appeared to be so enamoured with the conversation of the captain, that, in a most generous manner, he offered to purchase him a new brig : however, this was refused, the captain saying he already had a very good one. The thin man considered the captain was extremely foolish in not availing himself of so fine an opportunity of making his fortune, inasmuch as he could trade with her as he pleased, and pay such interest to his friend as he might think proper, a fter handsomely remune rating himself. The confederates then said they were per fect strangers in London, and wished to see all they could, and asked the captain if he knew any one at Greenwich. The captain having replied in the affirmative, a trip to see the Royal Hospital was then proposed, and as the captain was not particularly engaged, he agreed to accompany them. The stout man refusing to go by coach for fear it might turn over, the three ultimately went down by the railway, and wen t t o the King's Arms public-house, in King-street, where, after having something to drink, the stout man pulled out a roll of what the captain took to be Bank of England notes, and placed them in his fob, saying it was the most secure thing countrymen could do. The captain said he had only five £5 notes in his pocket-book, and thought them safe there ; but was ultimately persuaded to let the stout man put them into his fob. The captairi said he was quite sober, and saw the man roll them up on the table, and felt him put them into his pocket. They then left the house, and proceeded to the hospital ; but just as they were going in, the stout man ex claimed, " By God, I've left my handkerchief at the King's Arms, and requested, as a particular favour, that Captain Smith would return for it, as he did not wish to leave his sick friend, and he was afraid the distance back again would distress him. Captain Smith returned to the King's Arms, and asked the landlord if he or his servant had seen a silk handkerchief. He replied in the negative, and asked the captain if he had lost anything, as he bad some distant recol lection of seeing his stout friend in com p an y with suspicious characters o n a former occasion. The captain's suspicions for the first time were aroused, and on searching his fob he discovered that, instead of having five £5 Bank of England notes, he h a d a piece of brown paper, wrapped in which were (oh, cruel joke !) three pieces of Tom Spring's Life in Lon don. Upon proceeding to the Royal Hospital, the captain found, to his dismay, that his generous patron and his sick friend had been so suddenly recovered by the salubrious air of Greenwich, as to proceed farther without waiting for the captain's return. Valiant, Sewell; Rapid, Smith, and Leonora, Harrison, hence at Demerara Charles, Rickmers, hence at Ostend Letitia, -, from Batavia, at Demerara Wanderer. Hines, from St. Lucia, at Dublin LITERARY NOTICES, Roseoes Wanderings and Excursions in North Wales W. Webb, Liverpool. Part four of the new edition of this interesting penned work has come to hand. The engravings are nu merous, and though of various degrees of merit—all fine specimens of modern illustration. Pleased as we are with these, we are still more so with the vivid descriptions of the " Wanderer," who with a rare felicity of diction is largely imbued with those imaginative powers and lofty poetical sen timents, for which his family have so especially been noted, and without which scenic description sinks into monotony and insignificance. Rich as are the pictures, Mr. Roscoe has-set himself to delineate, in the rugged, the beautiful, or the sublime, and familiar, from the proximity to those dis tricts, as are many of them to the traveller, and the tourist, he.throws around them all the charms of freshness and ori 'ginality. In the present number, he traverses a portion of the Snowdonian range, visits'Penrhyn, with its stately castle and fine slate quarries. Bangor, the Menai Bridge—Carnar von—Holyhead—and Beaumoris. We are particularly pleased with his lively description of the remarkable town, and Isle of Holyhead ? the latter presenting a headland lighthouse peculiarly interesting to, though little known in detail by the community of this emporium of trade and na vigation. To supply a few short extracts is certainly not doing justice to the author, but our limited space constrains us to the resort. He thus introduces a description of and well HOLYHEAD "'anging the river, crossed by a bridge peculiarly light and elegant ; while here and there, both above and below it, the ey e falls upon a salmon weir, the distant murmur of which, humbly imitative of the cataract, comes upon the ear " the fretful melody Of water, gurgling through the rugged weir, _ Brought on the breeze." " Lismore 'is, therefore, classed high in the list of Ireland's natural beauties ; and for many centuries it has occupied a prominent station in its history. The castle is said to have been originally built by King John ; but the place was " famous" long before his reign. It is kept in repair at the cost of the Duke of Devonshire, who occasionally pays it visits—too few and far between. It is a fine building, with a noble court-yard ; and although the greater portion of it is comparatively modern, the ancient parts are sufficiently apparent to associate with it the memories of by -gone strength and splendour. It has, nevertheless, a lonely look; our knock at the entrance door had a hollow sound ; we were conducted through the apartments by the housekeeper, a courteous and obliging matron ; but we did not encounter another person ; the scene was a solitude we would gladly see broken ; its aspect was the more chilling because every chamber was furnished as if for an unexpected guest. It presented a singular and striking contrast to the noise, bustle, and excitement usually to be found in the vicinity of an Irish mansion ; even the old eagle, so many years a denizen of the castle yard, looked as wild as if he had been at liberty ; here there were no loiterers neglecting profitable labour for the chance of guiding some visitor " up the avenue," or dogboys lingering around the gates because " may be the master would be for sport." AN IRISH WAITER " Another waiter, who amused us much, was an active, lissom, little man, who endeavoured to persuade us that everything in the house was the best that could be obtained in " all Ireland." The inn was a wayside one in Kerry, wheze we were detained two days by illnessand bad weather. " Well, is there any chance of the weather changing ?" " I'm sorry it's not pleasing to you, ma'am, but we've the best weather in all Ireland," " These eggs are done too much."—" The finest eggs in all Ireland, ma'm ; but I'll make an alteration in them." " Is your mutton good ?"—" The best in all Ireland." " And your cook ?"—" The best in all Ireland." The mutton, however, was so very underdone, that we pointed it out to our good-natured waiter. " Yes, sir—l see, ma'am ; the mutton in these parts, as I tould yer honours, is the best in all Ireland ; and so juicy, that its the natur of it — that's it—it's the juciness of the mutton makes it so. I give ye my honour it's that—ye understand—the quality of the meat, nothing else—the goodness of it ; but maybe ye'd like the cook to take some of that out of it—l see—she'll do so in five minutes—the finest cook in all Ireland ;" and he bore of the mutton as triumphantly as if we had chimed in with his praise. It returned to us after the cutlet fashion. He exclaimed, while laying the dish on the table, with the inva riable flourish, " I tould yer honours"—" the finest cook in all Ireland—two ways, ay tin ways, with the same thing—it goes down one thing, and comes up another. Ay, faith, the lady would never forget it if she saw her toss a pancake ; she'll send it up the chimney out of sight, and down it'll come finished—all but the aiting." The number concludes with the introductory portion of the description of Limerick, chiefly historical, and of much in terest. We shall look with anxiety for the concluding sketches of that celebrated country and city. The work, we rejoice to say, is commanding an extensive sale.

At a late breaking up of a Dudley teetotal party, they are described as retiring from the temperance festival full of spirits ! A woman of the name of Laycock came to her death at Keighley on Sunday week, through taking a large quantity of arsenic, which had been given her, by her daughter, in stead of carbonate of soda. She only survived the draught a few hours. Sir Robert Peel was honoured by her Majesty with an in vitation to be present at the grand concert, at Buckingham Palace, on Monday bight. BIRTH ON A RAILWAY.—On Thursday last, as the six o'clock down train to Hull was on its way between Castle ford and Selby, a poor woman, a third class passenger, was safely delivered of a child. She was lett at Selby, where, we understand, herself and child are doing well. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has stated to Mr. Bell, M.P. for Northumberland, that he intends to give up the present passenger tax on railways, and to substitute a tax on the gross annual receipts on passengers, at the rate of five per cent. ALARMING DECLINE IN WOOLLEN EXPORTS. — The quantity of cloths exported last year was 215,746 pieces ; now the export the year previous was 392,854 pieces ; showing a falling off of 177,101 pieces, or 45 per cent.! This is a striking proof of the extreme depression under which the Yorkshire trade has been and is still labouring.—.Leeds Mer cury. The North Midland and other connected railways are mak ing arrangements, by which they will be able to convey pas sengers from London to Edinburgh in about two hours less time than they can go by the western routes. They will also be able, by the starting of a coach from Newcastle, at half past five in the morning, to take passengers from that town to London in a single day. BRISTOL TEA SALE, Thursday, May 20.—At this day's tea sale 1,504 chests of tea were offered, consisting of 74 half-chests of congou, 943 chests of ditto, 40 chests of sou chong, 11 chests of flowery pekoe, 54 chests of twankay, 122 chests of ditto, 15 half-chests of hyson, •132 chests of ditto, 51 half-chests of imperial. 54 chests of ditto, and 8 half chests of gunpowder. The sale was well attended, and al though the biddings were not very animated, yet the greater portion was sold, and at higher prices than were anticipated by the trade—viz., congou, is 8d to 3s 5d ; flowery pekoe. 3s 7d to 3s 9d ; twankay, is 8d ; hyson, 2s' id to 2s 4d ; imperial, 2s 10d to 2s lld ; and gunpowder, 3s 2d. Sir R. H. Inglis's motion on church extension is postponed until after the Whitsuntide recess. No specific day is yet The name of the magistrate whose alleged corrupt over tures with a prisoner in Cold-bath-fields are already before the public, has, by order of the Lord Chancellor, been struck out of the commission of the peace. The editor of an Irish newspaper says, speaking of a ship wreck, that he is happy to state that the crew were all saved with the exception of tour hogsheads Of tobacco. NEW FASIIIONED'EAR. — A man in Texas, whose ear had been lopped off in a fight with the Indians, had it replaced by one made in Indian rubber, which looks as good as new, and answers all the purposes of hearing. This experiment may be called a new ear-a in surgery. The sum of £B6 was collected at Christ Church, Chelten ham, on Sunday last, for the Church Pastoral Aid Society. The sermons were preached by the Rev. Hugh Stowell. The Society has now a permanent footing in this place.—Chel tenham Paper. HORRID MURDER AT BEDALE.—The author of the tra gedy at this village, an account of.which appeared in our last publication, was the head gardener to the Duchess of Cleve land, at Newton-house, and received excellent wages ; but by some means or other which cannot be accounted for, he had become much embarrassed in his pecuniary circum stances. The recovery of his unfortunate wife is almost hopeless. A woman at St. Oiner was, three days ago, employed in baking a quantity of cotton-thread in her shop, to free thee rticle from dust, when she suddenly cried out, " 1 am linded," and fainted from acute pain.

The poor woman has lost the sight of this organ, and it is supposed that the pin was among the cotton, and was thrown into the eye by the violence with which she shook it. WEYMOUTH.—A man named George Trent, who lives at East Burton, near Winfrith, in proceeding homewards last week, saw an old pair of cloth trousers lying on the pebbles. They appeared as if washed up by the sea. On examining them he found in one of the pockets a leather note-case, con taining four Bank of England notes, to the respective amounts of £5. £2O, £5O, and £l,OOO. The £l,OOO note has been sent to the Bank of England, by whose means pro bably it may be traced. STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last, a female, in stepping from a steamer on to the pier at Blackfriar's-bridge, London (owing to a man checking her whilst in that position), missed her footing, and was plunged into the river. The boat went a-head by order of the captain, the paddle wheels beat against the woman and cast her on shore. Much ex citement was occasioned at the inquest, and the jury found the captain guilty of bad management and gross negligence. He refused to stop the steamer or put back, though told the female was in the water and might be rescued. FATAL. ACCIDENT.—We regret to state that at the review yesterday on Durdham Down, a horse mounted by a gentle man became unmanageable, and ran against some ladies who were among the spectators. One of them, Mrs. Anna Sophia Leach (who, in the absence of her husband, Mr. Henry James Leach, was resident at the house of his mother, Mrs. Hugh Leach, in Queen-square), was struck down, and the horse trampling on her forehead occasioned a serious fracture. She was conveyed to an adjoining cottage, where the surgeons of the regiment under review, and other pro fessional gentlemen, instantly attended to afford assistance, but the wound had proved fatal before the lady reached the cottage.—Bristol Journal, Saturday. APPALLING MURDER.—Accounts reached town yesterday of the dreadful assassination of a most respectable country gentleman, Mr. Hall, of Merton, near Borrisokane, who, at the hour of midnoon on Wednesday last, was shot upon his own lands, by order of the agrarian or ribbon conspiracy. The bullet passed through his brains. He was dead ere his body reached the ground where he fell. There can be no reason assigned for this mysterious and horrifying atrocity, but that Mr. Hall presumed to exercise the rights of a land lord. He was, in politics, a liberal—in private life a gentle man, benevolent and universally beloved. THE LATE FIRE AT WYNYARD HALI An address of condolence has been presented by the inhabitants of Wolvis ton and the neighbourhood to the Marquis and Marchiness of Londonderry, on their arrival at Wynyard, in which a hope is expressed that the hall will again shine forth in, all its for mer splendour, and continue, as it used to be, the seat of genuine British hospitality. The noble owners replied in feeling and grateful terms for this considerable sympathy on the part of their tenants, whom they assure that oft and re peated visits shall*be made to the baronial hall of NiTynyard.. THE SUGAR QUESTION.—The following extract from a letter sufficiently shows the opinion of Sir T. Y. Buxton on the question which is now agitating the House of Commons : " I can have no hesitation in saying, that, in my opinion, the best and wisest course that we can pursue is to enforce the prohibitory duties against slave trade grown sugar, that is, against the sugars of Cuba and Brazil. It seems to me one of those questions in which ordinary rules are to be dis regarded, and in which considerations of political advantage must be made to yield to the superior law of moral duty. We cannot admit the produce of Cuba and Brazil into home con sumption without giving a vast impulse to the growth of sugar in those countries ; ,or, in other words, without giving the strongest encouragement to the slave trade."

Coffee .—There is a LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MAY '22 Waco thin day ce'riniirbt we have received only about 0.004 quarters of Oats from Ireland, and of all other articles of British produce the arrivals (have been very, light. From abroad the im ports include 6,985 quarters of Wheat, 2,620 quarters of Beans, and 3,300 barrels of Flour.. There have been released from bond 4,800 quarters of Wheat, 2,470 quarters of Beans, and 156 barrels of Flour. The town and neighbouring millers and dealers have, this week, been buyers, to a tolerably fair extent, of fresh parcels of free foreign Wheat : a few purchases have also been made for Ireland, and we quote prices of such descriptions 2d per bushel higher than at the close of last week ; stale qualities have met little notice and are unchanged in value. Flour has also been been better sold, home manufacture realizing an advance of Is per sack. and free foreign an improvement of 6d per barrel : the quantity of the latter offering is become small. Oats and Oatmeal have both been in limited request, and are rather cheaper. Sweet grinding Barley, being scarce and a little more inquired for, has brought rather more money: 4s 4d to 4s 8d per 601bs for free foreign. Beans have sold slowly though offered at Is per quarter decline : Egyptian, of which, there are several parcels in the market, may be bought at 34s to 35s per quarter. Peas as last noted. In the early part of the week a cargo of Odessa Whcat was sold, in bond, at 4s 6d; and about 3,000 barrels of Flour bave changed hands at 20s to 23s per barrel : the latter price paid for prime Western Canal. demand for Plantation, particularly for the middling and finer qualities of Jamaica, which sorts are scarce, and command full rates; the sales consist of 115 casks of Jamaica at the quotations 100 bags Java were sold at 58s, and 50 bags Pedang at 32s to 39s 6d per cwt.
