' M'Neile is a title specnuen of a finished ecclesiastical orator. m ature has highly gifted him, and all her endow ments have been heightened and enharieed byevery aid which sciencd can supply, and every finish which refinement can suggest. lie is, so to speak, a coinpi ,, te church knight errant ; every weapon of his controversial combatantahip keen, bright, and ready for the episcopalian chivalry. lle breathes the very spirit of that high-toned fervour and re solve which we deem appropriate in the defender of what may be called our ancient ecclesiastical feudalism. With all the gallantry and all the skill of the olden knighthood, he wields the weapons of his intellectual warfare, and burns with an ardour, if not so martial, fully as heroic. There is everything winning and prepossessing about Mr. 31'Neile. Dignity and amiability are alike expressed in the finely-chiselled features of his open, florid countenance. His demeanour and appearance are in no ordinary degree impos ing and prepossessing; there is indeed a somewhat aristo cratic tone in his manner, subdued and tempered, however, by native kindliness of disposition. He is evidently a man of high culture and refinement. In all he utters, whether in the matter or the manner, is evinced the most careful polish of which either is susceptible. Yet his style is most simple—nay, severe—strictly argumenta tive—and, indeed, always exhibits close, connected chains of reasoning. His sentences, however, though unadorned, and sometimes rigidly condensed, are neat, lucid, often elegant in their construction, are powerfully expressive and admira ble in the selection of the words employed, and their appro priation and harmonious arrangement. His delivery per fectly corresponds with his style. It is distinct, clear, em phatic, and somewhat slow—an impressive adaptation of moderation to the sense of the language used, the sentences being usually formed on one chaste, careful model, and the periods marked (at all events for a time) by measured pauses, giving to each more weight and emphasis, as if every one of them waited for its expression ere another followed, and giving a kind of studied completeness to them all. There is something strikingly—almost startingly impressive—in the first tones of his voice—short, stern, iron in their sound, each period falling separately, with sententious brevity from his lips. But it is a voice of great compass and variety of tone, and as he proceeds, susceptible of every change and modulation—all exquisite in their harmony, and sounding most expressively the appropriate music of every flow of feeling and every character of sentiment. The style, how ever, in the very heart of a subject, never loses its somewhat severe simplicity. It amplifies as the discourse advances, but never or rarely becomes imaginative, ornamental or figurative. He seems to aim at power more than splendour, and clearness more than brilliancy; yet a generous oppo nent justly.characterised his eloquence as ' magnificent.' He took the high ground of scriptural authority, treating this branch of the subject, however, with a pointed terseness, and a grasp of induction, which elevated it above mere verbal criticism. He proceeded, with able, analytic investigation, to the more nractical advocacy ofour church as an establishment; with energetic and eloquent reasoning enforcing this philoso phic argument, that any priesthood would, independently of the state, acquire over the popular mind immense influence, and, in consequence, prodigious wealth ; that the temptations would be too strong for any body of men for ever to resist ; that superstition would give, and avarice would receive, and ambition would abuse, till all power lay prostrate at the foot of the priest, and then the gradation would be easy to the central presiding authority of a despotic primacy : thence he deduced the irresistible inference, that" the state should take security from the clergy" through the medium of a recog nised state provision for the protection of civil and religious liberty ; while to the question, why such illegitimate in fluence had not b e e n exer t e d by dissenting ministers, he answered that, so long as the church existed, they could not use the formidable weapon of an exclusive administration of sacraments ; and to the inquiry whether the Roman catholics used this influence, he replied with overwhelming energy— ' they do !'—they do!' In defence of the episcopacy of the church, he argued with ardent warmth for the liturgy as " a hedge around the ortho doxy of the church ;" so considered, he said, in the " morn ing of non-conformity" by the Owens of other days ; and what had been the result of an abandonment of this test? " The answer," he remarked, in eloquent language and most impressive tones, " may be he heard from walls where Matthew Henry. or Baxter have expounded." How are the orthodox fallen ! how have the faithful admonitions of the fathers of non-conformity, as to the rich advantages of the standard of truth furnished in the services of the church, been confirmed by the history of their descendants, who have since so fearfully declined, that in some of their congregations, once most celebrated for biblical expositions, Socinian errors are disseminated; and where formerly was listened to the sweet music of Saint's Everlasting Rest,' are now heard the janglings of a liberalised philosophy ! Forcibly he protested against the vulgar cry of voluntary ism that none ought to pay for a form of religion they did not approve ; unanswerably urging that, if such were to be a principle adopted, no great system would ever be established ; for to none would there be an unanimous assent. With candour and ability he renewed the various defects in the working of the church ; justly observing, that the firmest defenders of its principles would be franked in avowal of its faults; among these he enumerated the un managable extent of parishes in large towns, and the ex treme inadequacy of many clergymen's incomes. Moreover, in tones of the utmost modesty and amiability—(indeed, his kindliness of heart won the cordial esteem of most deter mined antagonists, who went so far as to say that when he was most severe, his accents seemed to counteract his words) —he drew the attention of his brethren to the immense im portance of reading the beautiful services of the church in an impressive manner. _ Mr. M`Neile never rises to a loftier tone of eloquence, and closer cogency of reasoning, than when exposing the fatal errors of superstition, and the vast value of universally dif fused religious instruction. With a most powerful appeal on this head, he argued for the church as supplying this salutary influence of what he described as the national mind to the national body. He carried with him throughout his ad dresses the unqualified admiration and enthusiastic applause of a most distinguished audience, of as high a character as any ever assembled ; and whenever he made an appeal to the more generous feelings of our nature, he acquired an irre sistible mastery over the heart; here, perhaps, he is most powerful ; while there breathed in everything he said a spirit generous and candid, which shed an additional charm upon the warmth of his sincerity.

We have had a hearty laugh at the strait to which some anonymous correspondent has this week put the editor of the Manchester G.ardian. The correspondent asked "whether the exports of manufactured goods from this country, in cluding twist, &c., increased or decreased in the year 1840, as compared with 1839 ?" The unfortunate editor, rather than supply a fact which would belie the statements of the league, limits his answer to this plain question by presuming that the enquiry " relates to cotton manufactures." Still the editor must confess to an increase, the declared value being £24,539,375 in 1839, and in 1810, £24,668,618. But a more convincing fact against the league is published in an annual circular compiled from the official weekly list of imports and exports, issued by the Hull Custom-house. By this document we learn the number of packages of cotton, woollen, and mixed (that is, both cotton and woollen) manu factures, exported to foreign parts from the port of Hull, for the past three years. The particulars are as follows : COTTON-TWIST. 1839 80,558 1839 1840 82,771 1840 1841 COTTONS. WOOLLENS. 11,981 12,174 13,971 MIXTURES 1839 18,542 1839 1840 1841 These are the numbers of bales, casks, or boxes ; and show, therefore, most undeniably an increase in the foreign trade of the West Riding. UNPARALLELED SPEED.—A gentleman who left Clonmel for London on Friday morning, the 31st ult., at two o'clock, arrived in London the following day (Saturday), at half-past two o'clock p.m. The same person left London on Tuesday last, at six o'clock; got on board the Nora Creina, at Bris tol, at eleven same day ; and arrived in this city in time for the nine o'clock car to Clonmel, making each journey from Clonmel to London in 36 hours.— Waterford Mirror. TRIALS FOR BLASPHEMY AT BRISTOL.—Much interest has been felt in Bristol in consequence of the approaching trials of two of the leading Socialists for blasphemy— v i z , Charles Southwell, th e e dit or o f the Oracle of Reason, an d Henry Field, one of the publishers of the pamphlet, against each of whom true bills have been found. The Socialists, with a view of annoying those persons who have exposed their blasphemies, at the sessions on Thursday sent up bills before the grand jury against those persons who sell a work called Brindley's Gazette, published by that celebrated anti-Socialist ; and at twelve o'clock the grand jury came in court, and begged, through their foreman, to put the fol lowing question to the recorder, Sir C. Wetherell :—" Whe ther, if a bill were brought before them containing a quota tion from a blasphemous publication, for the purpose of refuting it, that was to be considered criminal ?" Sir C. Wetherell said, that if the work ng e it on h t e ai s n h e o d u t ld he sa ccuo th ta a t t io it n was that • not criminal; the Lonafide p b u ti r t po t s h e e of grand refuti jury . must be satisfied it The trials for blasphemy, and not, colourably, to extend it. was done for the purpose of refuting and putting down the blasphemy Southwell guilty rne , On C. 'Wetherell, after an impressive on Saturday, when the jury found address, sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment. sad MISCELLANEOUS SUDDEN DEATH.—On Saturday night hat, as Lydia Hill, servant of Mrs. Ryder, Coweill-street, Manchester, was proceeding• through Ormond-street, accompanied by George Sheppard, a coachman, of Rosamond -street, she suddenly sank down by his side, and expired. The Ten Towns' Messenger of Friday publishes a long and interesting account of the grand lodge meeting and dinner of the Grand Protestant Confederatio❑ of Loyal Orangemeri held at Birmingham on the sth instant. We hear that, among other things which are in contem plation at the post-office, it is intended that all letters pre paid by money, not by stamps, shall be charged double postage. The object of this change is to diminish, if not en tirely suppress, accounts between the postmasters and the general post-office.—Brighton Gazelle. TRADE BETWEEN AMERICA AND PRESTON.—We under stand that a vessel is now being built upon the Marsh, whose registered burthen will be upwards of 300 tons. She is in tended, we believe, as an American trader, and it is expected that by the time of her return from her first voyage she will be enabled to get clear up the river to Preston.—Preston Chronicle. The day for the celebration of the royal christening has been fixed for Tuesday, the 25th instant, the invitations for that day to those distinguished personages who will be pre sent at the ceremony having been issued by the Lord Cham berlain. The Lord Chancellor, on the recommendation of Sir James Graham, has directed that the names of John Clemison, Esq., Edward Francis French, Esq., Charles Gaman, Esq., Henry Raikes, Esq., Edward Roberts, Esq., and Bevis Thelwell, Esq., should be inserted in the commission of the peace for the borough of Chester. A shocking accident occurred on Thursday to a young man, 20 years of age, named Henry Reeves, who fell from the parapet of a house in Hope's-court, Whitechapel-road, London, to the pavement, with such violence as to fracture his skull, besides sustaining other severe injuries, whilst at tempting to catch a pigeon which had alighted on the roof. ACCIDENT TO THE LYNN MAIL.—We regret to learn that the Lynn mail, in consequence of crossing the road, owing to the heavy fall of snow, was overturned early on Thursday at Royston, and Simpson, the coachman, who has driven this mail for some years, was killed on the spot. Simpson was not driving at the time, having given up the reins to the guard, in consequence of indisposition—Standard. CONTINENTAL FORGERS AND SWINDLERS. — MOSt ex traordinary discoveries have been made within the last few days, and two of the party arrested, in an affair relative to Belgium and Prussian forged bank-notes, but we defer for a few days giving the full particulars, in order not to thwart the ends of justice.—Galignani of Tuesday. RADICAL EXERCISE OF POWER.—Since the passing of the Irish municipal reform bill, most of the constituencies in that country are in the hands of liberals, and the patronage they have to bestow is almost exclusively showered on the heads of the radicals. We find for instance that of twenty harbour commissioners elected by the town council of Cork, but Iwo are Conservatives ; two are liberal Protestants, and all the rest are Romanists. Where is the deference to the prejudices of their opponents on the part of radicals. They go straightforward in carrying out their principles, and reward only those who have done them some political service. There is a pleasant notice for John Bull in Friday night's Gazette—a notice that touches him in the tenderest point— his pocket—aud cannot fail to convince him of his folly in committing his affairs to stewards who managed them so miserably as to bring him in debt, on the transactions of a single year, by no less a sum than two millions three hundred and fifty four thousand and ninety six pounds, five shillings and two pence three farthings—aye, eve❑ to the farthings he is " fillipped " by the punctilious penman vs ho furnishes the account. It is rather losing business when the balance leans so heavily to that side of the scale, and we do not wonder that, with all his proverbial patience, he got restive when, notwithstanding the perpetual pull on his pocket, he found his family so indifferently supplied, and that, though his ser vants were rioting in waste and wantonness, his children were literally famishing for food. LIMERICK, THURSDAY EVENING.—I am very sorry to say that the spirit of agrarian outrage is still busy here. A barbarous murder was committed on Monday last, in the broad light of day, between ten and two o'clock, upon the person of Dennis Roughen, steward or cow-keeper on Mr. Waller's demesne of Castlewaller. The neighbouring pea santry, it would appear, had been for some time in the habit of committing depredations upon the woods which cover a large portion of the grounds, and the unfortunate Roughen had summoned several of the delinquents before the magis trates. A few days previously to the melancholy occurrence two men had forcibly entered the house of the deceased, and not finding him within, had broken and destroyed whatever they could lay their hands upon. On Monday, Roughan having reason to suspect that some persons were actually en gaged in cutting the timber, repaired to the spot where he believed the damage was being done. His suspicions were, unfortunately, but too well founded, for, on his interfering to put a stop to the trespass, he was instantly felled to the ground, and in that helpless posture deliberately murdered. Suspicion has already fastened upon an individual as the perpetrator of this savage act. THE EARTHQUAKE IN CENTRAL AMERICA.—The earth quake in Central America (intelligence of which was brought by the last packet that arrived from New 1 ork, at Liverpool,), seems to have been unsurpassed in the extent of its ravages, at all events for many years past. The scene of this terrible calamity was Costa Rica (i.e.the Rich Coast), one of the states of Central America. It is bounded on the south-east by Veragua, and extends from the Spanish Main to the Pacific Ocean, east and west, comprehending the western part of the high land that devides the plains of Panama from those of Nicaragua. It is a very mountainous district, and but little known to Europeans It is only inhabited in its western districts, those bordering on the republic of New Granada being either unoccupied or in possession of independent In dians. Sugar, Timber, and Indian corn are exported to Peru Chili ; and the district is said to contain some considerable mines of the precious metals. Some mines of gold are worked at the present time, those of the mountains Del Aguacate and and at Real del Monte. San Jose, the capital, contains about 16,000 inhabitants, and the ravages of the earthquake here were of the most heatrending nature, a very large number of lives having been lost, and property to a great amount des troyed, by this fearful visitation. The state contains two harbours—Puente de Arenas, on the eastern coast of the Gulf of Nicoya, and Matins, on the Atlantic. Costa Rica is divided into two departments. Oriente and Occidente. Its commerce 'consists of cattle, hides, wax, and honey. Dr. Shuttleworth was born on the 9th of February,l7B2, in Lancashire ; of which parish his father was then Vicar. His mother was daughter of Philip Houghton, Esq., and grand daughter of Sir Charles Houghton, Baronet, of Houghton Tower, Lancashire ; and he was paternally descended, through its younger branch, from the ancient family of the Shuttle worths of Gawthrop, in his native county. His Lordship received his first education at the Grammar School of Preston, Lancashire, of which parish his father was also Vicar, as well as a Prebendary of York Cathedral. At the age of 14 his Lordship was sent to Winchester College, Oxford, and in the year 1800 was elected thence to New College, in the same University. Three years afterwards, he obtained the Chancellor's Latin Verse Prize—the subject " Byzantium. His learning, abilities, and high character,procured for him afterwards the honor of becoming Tutor to the Honorable Algernon Herbert, and subsequently to the present Lord Holland. In the years 1814 and 1815 he travelled through Italy with the late Lord Holland ; through whose influence, as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, in connection with the late Whig Government, it is generally thought that he was selected to succeed Dr. Otter in the Bishopric of Chi chester. Whilst he was again on the Continent in 1822, the Wardenship of New College, Oxford, became vacant, by the death of Dr. Gauntlett ; and on his Lordships return, the Society determined to elect him as Dr. Gauntlett's successor. In tne following year his Lordship entered into the holy state of matrimony with Emma, daughter of the late George Welch Esquire, of High Leek, Westmorland. This excellent lady is now left with a family of five children. Ilis Lordship lived to occupy the See of Chichester only a little more than a single year ; and departed this life greatly respected by his Clergy and friends, in the sixtieth year of his age. THE OXFORD POETRY PROFESSOR. — ADOther effort has been made to induce the committee for conducting the elec tion of Mr. Garbett, to withdraw that gentleman's claim for the approaching contest, and the request has been backed by a memorial, signed by 2-14 non-resident members of convo cation, being about one-seventh of the whole number. Lord Ashley, as chairman of Mr. Garbett's committee, gives the following reasons for declining to entertain the proposal : He says, that "in selecting and bringing forward Mr. Gar " bett, his college had no reason:to suppose that they would " disturb the peace of the university ; nor has it been his `' nomination which has produced any such effect. His name " has never been identified with any opinions or publications " calculated to provoke opposition, nor can we contemplate " the selection of any individual as a substitute more free " from objection on this score. Believing, therefore, that " the excitement now unhappily existing has arisen from cir " cumstances over which we have had, and can exercise, no " control, and that even the withdrawal of both the present " candidates would afford to the university no security " against an early recurrence of similar difficulties, we feel " that it is due to the numerous members of convocation who " through us have tendered their support to Mr. Garbett not " to abandon at this advanced stage of the contest the inter " eats confided to us ; still less to abandon them on a ground " which would seem to admit an imputation to which Mr. " Garbett is in no degree liable." His lordship adds, " that lie sees no mode of avoiding an election in the usual course, unless the Oxford committee of both candidates could agree on some plan by which the sentiments of convocation could be so clearly ascertained as to decide the contest and super sede the necessity of a poll." COAL IN BORN o.—Among the recent geological disco veries which are communicated through the India papers is that of the superior quality of coal found to be procurable at Borneo. The honourable company's steamer Diana had brought over several specimens, and from all accounts there is every prospect of an abundance of the mineral being ob tained in that quarter. A. coal formation is found ou Pulo Cheremin, an island at the embrosure of the Borneo river, extending along its coast, and running out towards the sea, by which it is covered at high water, and also taking a di rection inland ; but to what depth or extent has not as yet been ascertained, although manifestly considerable. The coast of the island, in fact, presents a naked surface of coal ; and it is probably from the glistening appearance which it has when the tide is out, that the island has obtained its name of Pulo Cheremin, or Mirror Island, Some of the most intelligent Nakhodas from the country had stated that there were mountains of coal, by way of describing the quan tity, and that hundreds of ships might be laden with it. This intelligence is conceived to be of great interest, and, viewed in connection with the future establishment of a steam com munication to China, of the highest importance. Specimens of the coal have been forwarded to Calcutta, and the subject would, it was thought, obtain the attentive consideration of the supreme government, and lead, not only to further in quiry and research, but to effecting an arrangement with the Borneo chiefs to form depots of coal on the coasts, which for a steam communication might be said.to be on the high road to China. OUR COLONIAL POSSESSIONS.-1I is a trutful and proud boast that over the dominions of our sovereign thsre is never complete darkness. The arca of the British Empire comprises an extent of 2,250,000 square miles, equal to 1,440,000,000 acres, ever a large portion of which there are only from one to three mouths on each spuare mile of surface ; while in the United Kingdom alone the proportion of mouths to each square mile is about three hundred (a denser population than that of China, with its 368,000,000 inhabitants). The direct annual revenue of the transmarine possessions of England is £23,000,000 sterling, while the whole cost of the civil govern ment of those vasi possessions, to the home exchequer, is but £228,000. Their maritime commerce amounts yearly to £55,000,000, of which one-half is carried on direct with England ; and the profits on which, to the whole empire, are therefore equivalent to double the amount if carried on with a foreign country ; the burthen of the shipping entering in wards and outwards annually in all our possessions amounts to the enormous quantity of saven million five hundred thou sand tons, of which 250,000 tons is direct to and from Eng land. The troos of the line—cavalry , infantry , and ar tiller y — raised in our maritime possessions, or paid by them with pourotpaersthyillianngncuoasilt from the home-exchequer, amount to one hundred and fifty thousand men; and the militia (consisting immoveable in them —incl uding amounts to entirely of Europeans) comprises 250,000 men at arms ! The roads, buildings, forts, sin x387,000 y c ,o re oo ate . d in our maritime possessions fair data, at the enormous Douses, . land, timber, mines, and the amount of moveable and merchandize, 84 , c •, has been estimated for each colony, o n ships, harbours , c attle,s t , hou san thousand horses, hundred r e e p d , million sterling ,lENT.—The following is a copy of the circular addres,,ed to the conservative members : IEETING F PA:'.I. behig tixei libort of i rcic. 5, 18-1 r Thurscl —The meeting of parliament 3d of February, I take the b 1 e busines of importance ~..,.,.,..led with.

'ly proe SINGULAR —On 1 male child, supposed to be about a month old, was found in one of the pledging-boxes on the premises of Mr. Reynolds, a pawn broker, near the Mile-end-road, London. It was wrapped up in two bed-gowns, two patched blankets, &c. It was re moved to the workhouse. LIE EFFECT OF FEEDING HORSES ON CARROTS.—A farmer wishes to know of any of his brother farmers who have been in the habit of giving their farm horses carrots, if they have thought they had any effect on the horses' eyes. The eyes of the inquirer's horses have been so much affected as to apprehend leading to total blindness, and his horse keeper attributes it to their having, with other food, many carrots.—Mark Lane Express. DISPUTED LEGACY.—A curious case, connected with the will of a wealthy Catholic lady, named Whelan, is likely to be made the subject of judicial inquiry during the term. It appears that this lady, after leaving various sums to Catholic charities, directed that, in case of failure of issue on the part of her sort, a sum of £lO,OOO, to which he was entitled, should go to the " Archbishop of Dublin" (meaning Dr. Murray, the Catholic bishop, whose name was mentioned in another part of the will), to be disposed of in charity as he might think proper. The son has died, and the money is claimed by the Commissioners of Charitable Bequests, on the part of the Protestant archbishop, inasmuch as the law does not recognise any other.—Dublin Morning Register. NEW MAGISTRATES.—The following twenty-seven gen tlemen have recently been added to the commission of the peace for Lancashire :—John Bradshaw. Esq. Manchester ; James Hibbert Wanklyn, Esq. Manchester; George Clarke, Esq. Manchester ; Robert Gardner, Esq. Manchester ; Elias Chadwick, Esq. M.A. Swinton Hall; Thomas Crompton, Esq. Ringley ; Thomas Marsland, Esq. Heaton Norris ; Rev. J. H. Gunning, Rector of Wigan ; John Fletcher., Esq. Toxteth Park; J. T. Entwisle, Esq. Rochdale; Henry Butterworth, Esq. Rochdale ; Rev. G. H. Cotton, Rochdale ; John Bond, Esq. Lancaster; Rev.

Hornby, Esq. ; John Frederick Lees, Esq. ; Oliver Far rer, Esq. ; James W. Ferrer, Esq.; Thomas N. Whitaker, Esq. ; Henry Shaw, Esq. ; Alexander F. Haliburton, Esq. ; nearly the whole of these have qualified. ATTACHMENT OF A DOG.—Last week, a gentleman in Pendleton was buried, and when the coffin was brought from the house, and placed in the hearse, a little dog, which had been kept a great favourite of the deceased, took its place under the hearse, and accompanied it to the place of inter ment. When the hearse was driven home, the dog still kept his place, and refused to quit the post he had taken up. Into the coach-house he went, and spent the night under the vehicle in which his master had been borne to the grave. Next morn ing the hearse, which belonged to Mr. John Greenwood, of the Horse Shoe, was despatched to Bolton; but still the faithful little animal followed it, and returned with it at night. From Tuesday morning to Friday evening no coaxing or driving could induce the creature to quit the vehicle in which he had seen his master's remains deposited : but at length a gentleman in the neighbourhood had it carried to his house, with the intention of using every effort to restore it to its usual spirits.—Wigan Gazette. PRESTON A BONDED PORT.—The " Isabella" Rymer, from Trieste, (Austrian territory) has arrived at Liverpool with part of her cargo for that port, and about 50 tons of currants and other goods to be bonded at Preston. This is the first instance of any Mediterranean produce having been brought here. From the facilities which will now be afforded for commercial transactions with this town, we may expect to see the old port of Preston exercising all its privileges for the good of trade and the increasing prosperity of the town. The vessel alluded to will be at Lytham dock, on or about the 24th instant. Her crew, we hear, consists of about 15 men, besides the master, mates, and boys ; from which it may be judged what sized vessels we can find berthage and accommodation for. She is one of the fastest vessels that sails out of the Port of Liverpool, and is the property of the Messrs. Humber, of this town. Justice calls upon us to say that great praise is due to these gentlemen for their ex ertions in obtaining the privileges we now possess. The fol lowing is an extract from the Treasury Order, addressed to Messrs. Humber and Sons, and other merchants of Preston, and dated 11th January, 1842 :—" The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury have granted additional privileges to the Port of Preston, and merchants can now bond in addi tion to ' corn' and ' wood goods,' ships' stores, West India produce ; also dried fruits, and other articles of commerce, from the Mediterranean ; and wines and spirits removed coastwise for home consumption."—Preston Chronicle. MOST IMPORTANT DECISIONS OF THE TWELVE JUOGES —PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGES.—The judges met on Mon day in the chamber to consider a point of immense import ance to the people in the north of Ireland, reserved by Judge Crampton from the last Armagh assizes. The question simply was, whether a marriage between a presbyterian and an episcopalian protestant, celebrated by a presbyterian clergyman, be valid ? The meeting of the judges was private; but we have learned that their lordships have decided, by a great majority, that such a marriage is not valid—is, in the eye of the law, no marriage at all. It is impossible to over estimate the importance of its decision. It will astound and afflict hundreds of the most respectable families in the north of Ireland, where such marriages have been of every-day oc currence, and have never heretofore bad their validity brought into question. There must be, of course, an in stant appeal to parliament on the subject. The decision is retrospective as well a s p ros p e ctive in its operation ; and unless the legislature pass an act to protect the multitudes whom it will affect, its consequences will be really of a ter rific character. Bat we cannot doubt that the legislature will interfere, promptly and effectively, if the presbyterians of Ireland exert themselves for their own protection. The judges were almost unanimous in this decision, there being ten for it, and only two dissentients—who are understood to have been Baron Foster and Mr. Justice Perrin.—Dublin Monitor. DARING ROBBERY AT SHEFFIELD. —On Sunday even ing a robbery, characterised by circumstances of peculiar audacity, was perpetrated at the residence of Mr. Mont gomery, the poet at Sheffield. On Sunday evening, about half-past six o'clock, Mr. Montgomery and Miss Gales went to St. George's Church, leaving the house in charge of a maid-servant, who placed the chain upon the door inside, in the usual manner. About an hour afterwards, the bell was rung, and the servant going to the door, was accosted by a person who bore the appearance of a gentleman, and who asked whether Mr Montgomery was within. On receiving a reply in the negati v e, he expressed considerable regret, adding, that he was very anxious to have seen him, as he must leave Sheffield in the morning ; he wou ld, h owever , like to write a note and leave it behind. Upon this the servant unfortunately unfastened the door, and the fellow pushed into the pa s sage ; and on gaining admission, his whole manner was changed. He laid hold upon the woman, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, and calling " now Philip," in rushed another fellow and closed the door, The latter thief, on the hint of his colleague, went directly up stairs, and passing through every room, turned out the con tents of drawers, and laid hold of various kinds of plunder, seemingly in a few minutes. When he came down stairs, the other produced from his pocket two pieces of rope, with which he tied the arms and the feet of the affrighted maid, to whom they chewed a large knife, saying, if she made any noise, she should " have that in her"—they then pushed her into thel cellar, and bolted the door upon her. The house was now at their command ; but it does not appear that they staid long on the premises, being probably sufficiently satisfied with the booty the got. When Mr. Montgomery and Miss Gales reached home, a little before nine o'clock, they were surprised to find the front door wide open, but still more to hear the cries of the poor girl in the cellar, who, on a light being obtained, was found to be fettered as above described ; and who, as soon as she recovered from her fright, gave the foregoing account of the affair. The property stolen was the massy silver inkstand, which was presented to Mr. Montgomery by his friends, principally ladies of Sheffield, as a public compliment, several years since. A silver cup with two handles, marked T. S. C. ; four silver table and several tea spoons ; five or six £5 notes; twenty three sovereigns, and forty shillings in silver, belonging partly to Miss Gales, and partly to Mr. Montgomery. The thieves likewise carried off two or three gold chains • several rings, brooches, and other articles of jewellery. It ' deserves to be mentioned as one of the most detestable features of the case, that the villains, not content with the booty above par ticularised, actually compelled the affrighted servant to give them some seven shillings in silver, and five pennyworth of copper, which she happened to have in her pocket at the time.—Leeds Intelligencer. CAPTURE OF A SLAVE SHIP.—The following is an extract of a letter from a young gentleman belonging to Ayrshire, surgeon on board her Majesty's ship Acorn, dated St. He lena, Sept. 1, 1841 :—" We sailed from Rio de Janeiro for St. Helena on the 6th of August, an d arr i ved to-day, whence we depart again on a six months' cruise. In a former letter 1 think I mentioned our capturing the noted brigantine Ga briel, with her cargo of slaves. 1 have it now in my power to apprise you of another capture which we made on the 17th of August last, viz., the Anna, with 500 slaves on board. Apart from the satisfaction which the emancipation from sla very of such a vast number of our fellow-creatures produces, it is gratifying to think that we will have an additioal £5O each of prize -money to receive for our trouble when we ar rive at Devonport. I was ordered on board the Anna to take a list of the captives, and to classify them under the following heads, viz., males, females, sick, and healthy. As soon as I set foot on her deck, the tokens of the miserable condition of the poor creatures met my eye in every quarter. Filth of all descriptions was strewed around the deck, and the stench arising therefrom was almost overpowering. I have never encountered anything like the miasmatic and unwholsome vapours which arose from the dens where the slaves we re huddled together, so c l ose as scarcely to leave breathing room. In the after part of the vessel, called the cabin, a place measuring about 16 feet by 9, and which was allotted to the females, no fewer than 217 of these miserable beings were packed. When I looked down into the crowded mass, and saw the manner in which they were wedged together, it put me in mind of the celebrated black hole of Calcutta, and the miseries endured by the poor prisoners there on a particular occasion. To suppose that such a number of human beings could be squeezed into such a narrow space almost exceeds belief ; but it w as i n d ee d the case. Th e women and children wore ornaments, composed of beads, on the neck, wrists, and other parts of their bodies. Several of the females in this sty had infants in their arms, which they tended and soothed with a maternal affect i on w hi c h was quite exemplary, conside r i ng t h e i r s i tuat i on an d the privations they were compell e d to suffer ; indeed, few civilised mothers could have done the same if placed in a similar situation. In the fore part of the vesse l , reach i ng f rom t h e mainmast to the forecastle, about 300 males were confined. This part of the vessel was called the gaol, and was about 50 feet in length by 27 feet in breadth, the roof being about 3i feet in height. In this place, which was in a most filthy and impure state, the above number of human beings were huddled together, with out enough of room to lay themselves at length ; and forced to keep in a sitting position from the lowness of the deck above. In this situation they spent the days and nights that were to give place, not to freedom, but to the slavery which the fiends, thei r masters, should f i n d opportunity to entail upon them for life. It struck me, however, that in their general appearance, even in the more than uncomfor table circumstances in which they were placed, betokened the greatest contentment : some of them were even quite cheerful and lappy-looking. They were fed twice a day—at nine o'clock in the morning and again at three in the after noon. Their food in the morning consisted of boiled beans, with which a little flour had been mixed. A vessel contain ing a quantity of this st u ff was place d among t h em, and every one might eat as much as he pleased. The afternoon meal consisted of flour and warm water, mixed together in the form of thin gruel, which was also served ad libitum, with an allowance of two ounces of beef to each. The males, who were from four to twenty years of age, were what would be called in the market a splendid lot. The females, whose ages might run from three to twenty, with the exception of three infants, were also well-looking, and equally marketable with the men. N o t w i t h standing the i r b e i ng coope d up in the manner described, only 26 out of the whole were reported sick. We ran the vesse l and her h uman cargo into Rio de Janeiro, where the latter would be taken aboard the slave ship there, and find good treatment. The government allows £5 for each slave captured, and a certain sum per ton for the vessels, which in many cases are ran ashore and cut up and sold. As they are generally good sea boats, the admiralty occasionally purchase them f or her majesty's service." 2ilarittts. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 14 Duties have increased for the week ensuing upon foreign \%heat to 245. Bd., on Rye to 6s. 6d., on Beans and Pease to 14s. per qr., on Flour to 14s. 10d. per barrel, —remaining in all other respects unvaried. With contrary winds, attended by sharp frost, and a fall of snow, the fresh arrivals of all British grain continue li mited in extent; those of Oatmeal from Ireland, by steamers, are liberal, but of Flour thence very trifling ; from abroad we have to report several cargoes of Wheat, chiefly Mediter ranean, and 1400 qrs. Barley from Copenhagen, besides 2400 sacks of East India, and 3500 barrels United States Flour. Without the least impulse from any of the leading mar kets of the country to assist the proceedings here, little more than a few unimportant transactions has occurred with us in any article of the Corn Trade, either free or in bond, from the close of Tuesday's market until to-day, —although during that period importers of Mediterranean Wheats have been more willing sellers of cargoes to arrive, on somewhat easier terms. Having but few country buyers at our Corn-exchange to day, and our local millers being rather inactive, the trans actions in Wheat to consumers were upon a very moderate scale; 4000 or 5000 bushels of duty-paid foreign, however, being taken for Ireland, all good and fine qualities were held with somewhat more firmness, at the rates of Tuesday, the inferior descriptions of English, Irish, and foreign being decidedly the turn cheaper. Of Wheat, under lock, a few hundred quarters of Barletta, in granary, have been sold at 7s. 4d. per 701b5., and 1000 qrs. of Polish, afloat, to be delivered irk bond on arrival, at 475. fid. per quarter. English, Irish, and Foreign free Flour moved off very sparingly to-day at late prices. Barley, Malt, and Pease, continued to meet a very diffi cult sale on the terms last noted; and in Beaus, with the exception of 1500 qrs. of Egyptian, forced off at 28s per quarter, free, very little business was apparent. fntelligyntr.

At this day's market we have had a fair supply of Beasts and Sheep which were in good demand, and last week's prices were supported. Prime Beef tid to 6di, middling Sad ; Prime Wethers 75 to 7i5, Ewes did per lb, sinking the offal. Number of Beasts 1,133; Sheep 3,840. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN. 17 The country dealers have become freer purchasers of Futter; the amount of business transacted during the past week, being to a tolerable extent, but at no advance in price ;—we may however state that the inclination is upwards, and holders confident. The currency of the better sorts of Butter ranges, say for Belfast, Kilkenny, from 94s to 100 s ; Banlziclge, Newry,Waterford, &c., 86s to gos per cwt. Pickled Butter is very quiet at 85s to 86s for seconds. Beef 115 s to 125 s per tierce, and Pork 70s to 75s per barrel as in quality. Bacon stis to 58s, and moderately demanded. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 14 The general supply of Cattle at market this morning was short, but considerably more than equal to the demand, which was ex ceedingly dull, there being so very few buyers. A large portion remained unsold at the close. The rates of to-day, compared with those of Monday, were generally lower. Beef for inferior and prime quality cheaper by 2d. as also Mutton. Inferior Veal maintained the rise gained on that day, but the finer sorts were 4d cheaper. Coarse Pork was unaltered, but fine young Porkers were 2d lower. (Per stone of Sibs, sinking the offal.) LIVERPOOL HAS - AND POTATOE MARKET, January 17 A change of wind has enabled a few vessels with Potatoes to get into port during the last two days—yet from the previously ex hausted stock, the market to-day opened very firm, with an im proved demand both from our town and country dealers—and the full currency of the 14th instant is fully sustained. Manx, Scotch and Irish Cups 2s 1 d to 2s 3d; round, rough and fiat reds 2s 3d to 2s tid ; Seedlings 2s 4d to 2s 8d per 901 b. Although our market for the sale of local produce has been well supplied by our neighbouring farmers, higher prices have been realized for all descriptions of Potatoes, but there is little altera tion in the value of other articles. Pink-eye Potatoes 2s 6d to 35 ; Cups 2s 5d to 2s l id Short Tops 2s 4d to 2s 8d ; Cattle is 7d to :s 10d per 9011). Tnrnips 26s 6d to 35s 6d; Carrots 37s to 45s per ton; Manglewnrzle, none. Old Hay 8d to 1 lirl; new lid to Mid; Clover 7d to 1 lid per 201 b. Wheat Straw 4id to sid ; Oat aid to 4}d; Barley 3d to 4d per 241 b. JOSEPH MOORE, Factor, 33, Salthouse Dock. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 14 The demand to-day has been very light, and the market languishes. New Bowed plentiful, and I lower than early in the week. All other kinds rather easier. The public sale of Surat went off without much spirit, about i the quantity offered was sold at rates on a par with private business. The sales of the week amount to 21,140 bales, of which 2,500 American and 500 Surat are for speculation, and 200 for export. Sales to-day about 3,000 bales. COTTTON MARKET, JANUARY 17. Though we cannot say that our market is lively and animated, yet we may report upon a healthy feeling, and no unwillingness on the part of consumers to make their purchases. Cotton generally is easier to purchase, but the supply of new Boweds is falling off, if not in quantity at all events in quality, and the same price is asked for decidedly worse Cotton than could he bought last week. Brazil Cotton maintains full rates, and cannot be bought as well as a month ago. Surats rather easier. For all other descriptions we make no change; about 4,000 bales sold to-day, and on Saturday 3,000 bales. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT Cotton has been in but limited demand this week, the market has been dull and spiritless, and though we cannot quote a decline of *d per lb., still it has been difficult to sell at t he full prices of this day week, and in partial instance a slight concession has been made. 2850 bales of Surats were offered by public auction this morning, and 1370 bales sold from 30 to 4id, being very much on a par with previous business by private. 2500 American and 600 Surats taken on speculation, and 200 American for export. About 3,000 bales sold by private to-day. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 7th to the 13th instant, inclusive.
