NoTICEB , Blackwood. Edinburgh. The list of contents in Blackwood this montbi, will induce many to lay out a half crown in the purchase of the number. It is a list of promise which is faithfully fulfilled. The first contribution is a valuable one, containing a translation of the poems of Schiller—these translations are to be continued—a boon that the English reader of any taste will highly estimate. " The Diver" is a fine poem full of thoughts and fancy, and well translated. " The Elopement," a tale of old Castile will delight those who . hav,t , a love for romantic stories. The Exhibitions in Londe 'receive a notice. There appears to be an immense numbMf pictures this year. " Ricardo made easy ; or what is the radical difference between Ricardo and Adam Smith." is an article well worth attention. " The Northern Circuit" will have an additional interest to the Liverpool readers, inasmuch as the situation of the story lies in this town and neighbourhood. It is capitally told. " Dennis on Shakspeare," is we suppose, an imitation of that shallow critic. The continuance of Caleb Stukley is short. This story does not progress so well as it began. Part II of a " Ramble through the Basque Provinces," is amusing, gives a picture of Spanish life in 1836-6. " Roam ings in Rome" is a lively contribution. B. Simmons has some graceful poetry entitled " The Doom of the Mirror," and " Two Scenes in the Life of Xenophon." An article on the late riots comes very seasonably. The Corn Leaguers come in for their share of animadversion. The article is a very clever one, and will be perused with considerable interest. Fraser's Magazine. A political article, entitled " The first session of Sir Robert Peel's Parliament, and its probable results," is well worth attention. The lovers of the fine arts will peruse with pleasure a liberal and justly written paper upon Wilkie and his works. " Hoaxing Histories" bring before us an amusing hoax played upon a theatrical hanger-on, in which a mock duel is engaged in. The celebrated Palmer, Parsons, O'Keefe the author, Edwin, and John Taylor, are intro duced to us as taking part in it : a little joke got up at James Smith's expense, is also pleasantly narrated. An article entitled " An Excursion to Port Arthur," is the most interesting contribution in the number. It is a visit to that abode of the wretched and wicked who " have left their country for their country's good." Some curious particulars of Frost and Williams, the expatriated chartists, are narrated. The tale of the " two Victorines" we find concluded. It is but a mediocre affair. " Nimrod con tinues his " Life and Times"—although strongly tinged with egotism. These papers are not devoid of interest and anecdote. Some of the " Picture Galleries of England" is an extremely interesting paper. The number concludes with a brief notice of the late Dr. Maginn. It is to be hoped that a Conservative government will not neglect the appeals making to it on behalf of the widow and family of the late talented but improvident writer. Dr. Maginn was one of the brightest ornaments of the literature of the present day. He will he greatly missed. We " could have better spared a better man." Dublin University Magazine. September, 1842. William Curry and Co., Dublin ; W. S. Orr and Co., London. The Dublin University comes before us this month, en riched with six more chapters of " Jack Hinton," and with a variety of articles of a different cast, full of amusement and information. " The Gallery of Illustrious Irishmen " contains the first part of a Life of Barry the Painter. " The Two Passports "is an instructive sketch. The second arti cle on Bowden's Life of Gregory the Second is ably written, and the gloss attempted to be thrown over the history and character of that subtle, though illustrious occupant of the Roman see, by the writer of his memoir, is ably and yet temperately dissipated by the reviewer. The cause of truth, and religion as well, owes much in the present times to those who set themselves thus fearlessly to expose the errors of such historians as Mr. Bowden ; and, if we mistake not, it is destined before long to own infinitely more. The cunning perversion of history to advance the ends of Rome, must be closely watched by the Protestant world. " A Narrative of the Affghan War" is well worthy of perusal, and should be extensively read by all who are desirous of being able to es timate the true position of England in relation to that coun try. The remaining prose articles are respectably written; and of the poetry of the entire number, we are able to speak in the highest praise. The Abbotsford Edition of the Waverley Novels. No. 10. Robert Cadell, Edinburgh ; Houlston and Stoneman, London. The tenth number of this excellent edition contains a con tinuation of " Guy Mannering." The typography of the work and the illustrations continue excellent. A Complete Series of the Exchange Tables between Buenos Ayres and Monte Video with England and France. By Roberto de la Riestra. Liverpool: G. J. Poore and Co. Of course we cannot say of the above publication all that a party interested in the trade with Buenos Ayres could say. From a glance at it, however, we are satisfied that it must he of infinite value ; and we have no doubt that it will be duly prized by our mercantile readers. It is neat in appear ance, and creditable as a specimen of typography. The Churchman, for September, 1842. London :W. E Painter, Strand. The present number of the Churchman contains an able article by the author of the Churchman's Politics, accom panying a letter addressed to him upon the state of the working classes by a lady, in many of the opinions of which we cordially agree. Mr. Faber continues his valuable let ters. The general contents of the number are unusually varied and attractive. The Village Churchman. September, 1842. London : VT E. Painter. This little periodical continues in its course of unobtrusive usefulness. The History and Antiquities of Ireland. Parts 25, 26, 27. The literary department by Mr. N. P. Willis ; the illus trations by W. H. Bartlett. Virtue, London. This work maintains its ground for its beautiful illustra tions. Part 15 contains " Narrow Water Castle," a beau tiful landscape, engraved by Cousen—" Plaiskin Cliff, near the Giant's Causeway," with beautiful effects, by J. C. Bentley—" Kenbane Castle," engraved by Richardson — and " Luggela," by Adlant, a charming lake in the County Wicklow. In No. 16 we find the " Cove of Cork," en graved by Wallis—" Glengariff," by Mossman—" A View of the Shannon from the Tower of Limerick Cathedral," by Higham—and " Larne," by Wallis. The latter is a sweet production. In No. 17 we find " Dunluce Castle," en graved by Cousen—" Youghall Abbey," the residence of Sir Walter Raleigh, from the burin of Roberts—" The Glen of the Downs," by Bentley—and " Walker's Pillar on the Walls of Londonderry," by Wallis. All these engrav ings are sweetly executed, from drawings, by Bartlett, and any one of them is worth the price of the part. A few years ago they would have been considered miracles in the art. The letterpress is replete with interesting matter, both his torical, local, and general, from the pen of Mr. N. P. Willis. Susan Hoplep, Parts 1,2, 3. Tait, Edinburgh. We have received the three first parts of this novel, being a re-publication. It is a work in which the characters are selected from different stations in life, but the principal ones from the humbler classes. The hettine is a servant girl, and from each family she lives an interest and story is ob tained—a moral is evidently contained in it, as the Widdy Malone says, " not long, but strong." Portions of it are written with deep pathos and fine feeling, while the author has a just appreciation of things passing around her. " Susan Hopley " is a work accessible to all from its cheapness : each part, the price of which is only sevenpence, contains about 61 pages Sao., beautifully printed. It is to be finished in about five parts. The work, we believe, is from a female hand, and does credit to her head and heart. We can certainly recommend it to the notice of our readers, as being likely to Prove amusing. Handy Andy. No. 9. By Samuel Lover. The artist author continues his work with unabated spirit and drolle ry, and illustrates his story in a style equal to that of any artist or etcher of the present day. " Loftus playing the organ before the duke," is really fine. We extract the story. It may be remembered that Loftus was the origi nator of the cold-airian system : " I told you he was called Organ' Loftus by his friends, in c onsequence of the imitation he makes of that instrument; and it certainly is worth hearin g and seeing, for your eyes have as much to_do with the affair as your ears. Tom plants himse lf on a high offices tool, before one of those lofty desks, with long rows of drawers_ d awn each side, and a hole be tween to put your legs under. , sir, Tom pulls out the top drawers, likethetshtooopshoofbaenghols thrashin g th e d es k likergau, and th e l ower ones by w ay of pedals ; and the finger board of an organ, with his hands, while his feet kick away at t he lower drawers as if he was the emits a rapid greatest pedal performer performer o ut of Germany, and be cession of grunts and squeaks, producing a ludicrous remi niscence of the instrument ; and I defy any one to hear him without laughing. Se veral sows and an indefinite nu mber of sucking pigs could not make a greater noise, and Tom him self declares he studied the instr o u f m a e o nt o in rga a n. pigs w tv e , u 7h air ich o h he youths of the office assist i o he maintains gave the first notion , d o i n g the service,' as they ca ll it, that is, making an imitation of the chanting and so forth in St. Patrick's cathedral." " Oh, the haythens !" said Father Phil.

" Have they nothing better to do " Very little but reading the papers," asked sa i t d h e the Doctor. tor. 1 ! Well, Tom, you roust know, sir, was transferreder to the red s ome time ago, by the interest of many influential friends , Lon don department ; and there the fame of his us had gone b e f ore hi m f r o m s om e of the m ical powers English clerks in Ireland, who had been advanced to the higher posts in Dub din, - din, and k ept up correspondence with t h e i r o ld friends 11 London ; and it was not long until Tom was requeste d to r, 0.10 , throuh an anthem on the great office-desk. Tom was only . ,t OO gl a d to h e asked, and be kept the whole office in a roaf for an hour, with all the varieties of the instrument, from the diapason to t he flute-stop ; and the de v il a more business was done in the office that day, and Tom before long made the sober English fellows as Well, it was not lon great idlers as the chaps in Dublin. g until a sudden flush of business came upon the department, in consequence of the urgent prepara tions making for supplies to Spain, at the time the Duke was going there to take the command of the army, and organ playing was set aside for so me d ays ; but the fellows, after a week's abstinence, began to yearn for it, and Tom was re -quested to do the service.' Torn, nothing loth, threw aside ills °MCA paPdta, 3el, tip a big letig6; bef6re t tl, rlt3 cOrtn merited his legerdemain, as he called it, pulled nut his stops, and began to work away lilce a weaver, while every now and then he d—d the bellows-blower for not givin ,, him wind enough, whereupon the choristers would kick the bellows blower to accelerate•his flatulency. Well, sir, they were in the middle of the service, and all the blackguards making the responses in due season, when, just as Tom was quivering under a portentous grunt, which might have shamed the principal diapeson of llarlaem, and the subs were drawing out a resplendid A—a—a—men, the door opened, and in walked a smart -looking gentleman, with rather a large nose and quick eye, which glanced round the oflic, where a sud en endeavour was made by everybody to get back to his place. The smart gentleman seemed rather surprised to see a little fat man blowing at a desk instead of the fire, and long Tom kicking, grunting, and squealing like mad. The bel lows-blower was so taken by surprise that he couldn't stir, and Tom, havinc , his back to the door, did not see what had taken place, and went on as if nothing had happened, till the smart gentleman went up to him, and iapping on Tom's desk with a little riding whip, he said, I'm sorry to disturb you, sir, but I wish to know what you're about.' " We're doing the service, sir ' ' said Tom, no ways abashed at the sight of the stranger, for he did not know it was Sir Arthur Wellesley was talking to him. " Not the public service, sir, said Sir Arthur. " ' Yes, sir,' said Tom, as by law established in the second year of the reign of King Edward the Sixth,' and he favoured the future hero of Waterloo with another touch of the organ. " Who is the head of this office ? inquired Sir Arthur. " Tom, with a very gracious bow, replied,' lam princi pal organist, sir, and allow me to introduce you to the prin cipal bellows-blower,' and he pointed to the poor little man, who let the bellows fall from his hand as Sir Arthur fixed his eyes on him. " Tom did not perceive till now that all the clerks were taken with a sudden fit of industry, and were writing away for the bare life ; and he cast a look of surprise round the office while Sir Arthur was looking at the bellows-blower. I " One of the clerks made a wry face at Tom, which showed him all was not right. " Is this the way His Majesty's service generally goes on here? ' said Sir Arthur, sharply. " No one answered ; but Tom saw, by the long faces of the clerks and the short question of the visitor, that he was somebody. " Some transports are waiting for ordnance stores, and I am referred to this office,' said Sir Arthur ; can any one give me a satisfactory answer ?' " The senior clerk present (for the head of the office was absent) came forward, and said, ' I believe, sir,'— " You believe, but you don't know,' said Sir Arthur ; so l must wait for stores while you are playing tom-foolery here. I'll report this.' Then producing a little tablet and a pencil, he turned to Tom, and said, Favour me with your name, sir.' " I give you my honour, sir,' said Tom— " I'd rather you'd give me the stores, sir.—l'll trouble you for your name.' " Upon my honour, sir,' said Tom again. " You seem to have a great deal of that article in your hands, sir,' said Sir Arthur. You're an Irishman I suppose.' " Yes, sir,' said Tom. " I thought so. Your name.' " Loftus, sir.' " Ely family ? ' " No, sir.' " Glad of it.' He put up his tablet, after writing the name. " Mav I beg the favour to know, sir,' said Tom, to whom I have the honour of addressing myself ? ' " Sir Arthur Wellesley, sir.' " Oh, J-s !' cried Tom, ' I'm done!' " Sir Arthur could not help laughing at the extraordinary change in Tom's countenance ; and Tom, taking advantage of his relaxation in his iron manner, said, in a most penitent tone, " Oh, Sir Arthur Wellesley, only forgive me this time, and 'pon my sow/,' says he, with the richest brogue, I'll play a Te Deum for the first licking you give the French.' " Sir Arthur smiled, and left the office." " Did he report, as he threatened ? " asked the Squire. " Faith, be did." " And Tom?" inquired Dick. " Was sent back to Ireland, sir." " That was hard, after the Duke smiled at him," said Murphy. " Ah, he did not let him suffer in pocket; he was trans ferred at as good a salary to a less important department ; but you know the Duke has been celebrated all his life for never overlooking a breach of duty." NEW SONGS. Songs, by Thomas Blake, Esq.--" 0 Peaceful Valley," Bianchi Taylor ; " Our Village Church-yard," Ditto ; " The Mariner's Life," Ditto ; " Wilt thou remember me ?" Ditto; " I will remember thee," Ditto ; " Oh ! remember the hour," J. B. Clough; " I love to sail," G. T. Skelton; " Adieu to the Valley," Thomas Mason; " The Happy Cottage Home," George Linley ; " The Merry Days of England," Ditto ; " When Morning is breaking," J. P. Knight; " Come, tune thy Lyre," (two voices) Mrs. H. Shelton. Cramer and Co., London. These songs consist of what may be termed " drawing room lyrics," with the exception of one, " The Merry Days of England," a good conservative song, which we should be glad to hear sung at all dinners and festivals where staunch and true Englishmen are present. These songs, we repeat, are drawing-room lyrics, such as ought to be found on the piano-fortes or in the music-racks of all ladies of taste. Mr. Blake may lay some claim to Haynes Bayley's mantle, for he writes with feeling, pathos, and musically, which is the true secret of successful ballad composition. Many of our first bards—Byron, for instance, Mrs. Hemans especially —made sad hand of words for music. Many composers have told us that they have found more difficulty in arranging to them than it could be well imagined. Mr. Blake has clearly the knack—for that is the best term—of giving the composer an easy task ; and which, while it leaves him un fettered, permits his fancy to have good elbow-room. We can recommend these songs strongly to notice as being well adapted for those amateurs who wish to give their friends an opportunity of hearing with effect " the music of their most sweet voices," and adding to the pleasure of vocal enter tainment. VARIETIES. Lively, good-humoured old women, compared with young ones, are what raisins are to fresh grapes. They are withered, but they are also preserved, and appear to advantage in the freshest company. BRUTES AND TOBACCO.—So sensible is every brute crea ture of the poisonous and deleterious quality of this plant, that not one of all the various tribes of beasts, birds, or reptiles, has ever been known to taste of it. It has been reserved to man alone to make of this poisonous plant an article of daily necessity for the gratification of his depraved appetite. A LUCKY HlT.—The Heraldo, a Madrid journal, gravely gives the following :—" An old female mendicant of Vivoro, in Gallicia, who had been blind for several years, lately re ceived a blow on one eye from a stone. H er first movement was to put her hand to the eye, and when she withdrew it, she found that the sight of it had been perfectly restored !" Poetry has invariably one of two tendencies. Disgusted with the present, in which its ideal is degraded, it either flies to the past or the future. It sighs over the golden age, over the primitive simplicity and energetic virtues of the past, or it looks with eager eyes into the dim future, when progression will have brought perfection, and it shapes this plastic future into the harmonious proportions of its imagi nation. NIGHTCAP PATENT OF PRIVILEGE.—The Kinsale pri vilege of wearing the hat in the royal presence was thrown into the shade by the following grant of Queen Mary : " The Queen's gratitude took a very odd form in the case of the Earl of Sussex. He was a valetudinarian, who had a great fear of uncovering his head ; and considering that the colds be dreaded respected no person, he petitioned Queen Mary for leave to wear his nightcap in her royal presence. The Queen, in her abundant grace, not only gave him leave to wear one, but two nightcaps, if he pleased. His patent for this peivilege is, perhaps, unique in royal annals :—' Know ye, that we do give to our well-beloved and trusty cousin and councillor, Henry, Earl of Sussex, Viscount Fitzwater, and Lord of Egremond and Burnell, license and pardon to wear his cap, coif, or nightcap, or any two of them, at his pleasure, as well in our presence as in the presence of any other person or persons within this our realm, or any other place in our dominions whatsoever, during his life; and these our letters shall be his sufficient warrant in this behalf.' The Queen's seal, with the garter about it, is affixed to this singular grant."—Miss Stricldand's " Lives of the Queens of England." FREDERICK THE GREAT'S WlT.—This monarch aimed at being thought a wit, and was not unsparing of his caustic remarks upon his best friends. The following is not a bad specimen of his talent for smart, though somewhat irreverent punning:—" The uniform of the Hulans consisted of white Turkish mantles, and light blue clothing underneath : this was changed, but in memory of it the new hussars had white sheepskins and light blue dollmans. The Austrians sought to throw ridicule upon this regiment by calling the hussars sheep. This contemptuous appellation enkindled an ardent desire of revenge, and an opportunity was soon afforded to the Prussians of gratifying that sentiment, when, in 1789, an Austrian regiment who had thus jeered them were almost cut to pieces by the Prussians, and the colonel and the few officers of the Austrians were saved by great exertion of the commander of the Prussians. The prisoners, on being brought before Frederick, complained of the savage barbarity of his troops, and that no quarter had been given. Frederick, who knew the cause of this proceeding, asked, " Did you ever in your life read such a book as the Bible?" " Oh, yes ! your Majesty," replied the Austrian officer, with some s urprise. " Well, then, said the kine, " that will explain the matter to you, for there it is said, " Beware of those who come to you in sheep's clothing, for inwardly th e y are ravenous wolves." The following description of an Affghan execution will serve to illustrate the barbarous character of the people into whose power.co many of our countrymen, and some of our country women, have unhapp il y fallen :—" At a little before sunset three of the horse artillery guns were drawn out, and pre sently the three ,criminals were brought to the ground, led by an old man with a long beard, stained of an orange colour, and wearing a long ,eouieeel red cap, garnished with four per pendiculars rows of black horns, pointing out horizontally. After they had stood a while, another functionary came in a different shaped cap, also red, the form of a crab's claw, with a black horn stretching out on each side, and asked if all was ready, ' All ready ,' was the reply, whereupon the said functionary went to make his report to the Schab, whose sera purda, or pavilion tent, was not above 100 yards from the place. In ten minutes he returned, and repeated the order to proceed to execution. The three men were then tied with ropes to the guns, their backs against the muzzle. The rope, fastened to one of the spokes of the wheel, passed with a knot round the arms, ,over the muzzle of the gun, round the other arm, and then to the spoke of the opikosite wheel, which kept the body fixed. The prisoners, with their wrists tied together, kept crying incessantly, G T od he i r , e is nogod h God, and ahomet is the prophet of middle W l al st the noise made the priming wa could only see the hod smoke.

On Thursday morning, a young man, the nephew of Mr. Frank Sleddon, of Preston, was found shot on Preston Moor, Whether it was his own act, or the act of others, we have not heard. LAMBS AS CHEAP AS BENS.—A woman from the neigh bourhood of Beady went on Friday to Inverness with 20 hens, with the price of which, on her• return, she purchased 20 lambs at the Muir of Ord Market.—Ross-shire Advertiser. FIRE INSURANCE.—The total amount of property insu red against loss by fire in England Scotland, and Ireland, during the year 1841, was £735,000,000, of which scarcely more than £50,000,000 was in Ireland. £30,000,000 of insurance was effected in Yorkshire. The gross amount of farming stock insured is £50,000,000. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY MEASURED BY PENCE.—If the sum of money expended in making the Lou don and Birmingham Railway was turned into pence, which measures I'4 inches wide, and placed in a line, one touching the other, the length of that line would be 31,915 miles, or considerably more than the circumference of the earth. LEEDS AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY.—At the half-yearly meeting of this company at Manchester, on Thursday, a divi dend of 2i per cent. per share, was declared clear of the income tax, from the working of the last six months. PARIS AND ROUEN RAILWAY.—The general meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking, was held in Paris, on Tuesday last. It appeared that 29 millions of francs had been received, and 21 millions spent, up to the date of the meeting ; and that only 94 shares have been forfeited in consequence of the non-payment of calls. The opening of Covent Garden Theatre has been postponed from last Saturday to next Saturday, the 10th instant, in con sequence of the increased indisposition of Miss Adelaide Kimble.

Boole SnEavlis.—To give some idea of the extent of the new portion of the library of the British Museum, it has, as a point of useful information, or perhaps also as a matter of curiosity, been ascertained that the whole length of the shelves, which hold 260,000 volumes, was 42,210 feet, or eight miles. The length of the shelvesin the library at Munich, containing 500,000 volumes, taking the same proportion, will be fifteen miles and two-fifths. The king's library in Paris of 650,000 volumes, must by the same calculation have not less than twenty miles of shelf ! POLITIC ' , ..1. STEAM RACING.--WHIG v.

Two THOUSAND POUNDS STOLEN AT PRESTON GUILD. — We have been informed of a serious loss sustained by Mr. John Marquis, of Accrington, at Preston Guild, on Monday evening last. It appears that Mr. Marquis some time since sold property to Mr. Hargreaves, of Accrington, for £lO,OOO. a portion of which, to the amount of two thousand pounds, he happened to have in his pocket on Monday evening last in Preston, whither he had gone for the purpose of amusing himself at the festival of the Guild. Mr. Marquis had dined with Mr. Grundy, machine maker, and after dinner sallied out to look about him and see the wonders of the Guild. This was about eight o'clock in the evening. Sauntering along the street Mr. Marquis was accosted in an affable manner by a respectable looking person, with whom be entered into conversation. Their intimacy, although so sud denly created, and without the usual ceremonial of introduc tion so generally required by John Bull—more particularly than by any other national gentleman—seemed to grow rapidly in strength ; for the stranger took Mr. Marquis by the arm, and thus united they proceeded to admire what was going on round and about them. They had not however made much progress in their friendly promenade, when they were met by a gentleman and lady, who appeared particularly anxious also to scrape an acquaintance with Mr. Marquis. Shortly after Mr. Marquis discovered that his pocket book had besn taken away containing nine one hundred pound uotes, and two five hundred pound notes, all of the Bank of England, together with about one hundred pounds in gold and silver. Mr. Marquis naturally looked about for his friend, but he had cut his acquaintance. No clue to the thieves has as yet been discovered. The numbers of the notes however are known, and unless paid by the Bank of England previous to yesterday afternoon, will be of no use to those who stole them.—Blackburn Standard, FALL OF TWO HOUSES.—SHOCKING MUTILATION.—Be tween 7 and 8 o'clock on Wednesday morning the inhabitants of the village Marden was alarmed by a loud crash, the cause of which was ascertained to be the falling of two houses situate in the village. Nearly the entire population of the place congregated round the spot, and the crowd were horrified at- hearing the most heart-rending groans issuing from the ruins. A number of men were speedily at work in clearing away the rubbish, &c., and in a short time the body of an old man, named Roberts, who followed the occupation of a rick-thatcher, was dug out frightfully mangled, both legs being broken, and the upper part of the chest compressed, whilst several of the ribs protruded through the skin ; not withstanding which injuries, the man was taken from the ruins alive, and hopes are entertained of his recovery. Two child ren were next found—one of whom had its right shoulder and arm dreadfully crushed ; the other child escaped with com paratively but slight injury. The next person dug out was a woman, the mother of the two children last named, and daughter of the old man, Roberts. The poor creature was enceinte, and a fallen beam of wood had been thrown across the lower part of the unfortunate woman's stomach with such violence that a premature delivery has been the result. The child, quite dead, was discoverd near the mother, who, although labouring under the most acute bodily pain, is ex pected to recover. The above persons were the entire inmates occupying one of the houses ; the other being unoccupied. Both tenements were deemed in an unsafe state, and Roberts has had repeated notices to quit the premises. The escape of the inmates with life is singularly providential. A dog be longing to the family was found crushed quite flat on the hearthstone, and a couple of pigs in a sty adjoining the house were killed on the spot. From the statement of one of the children, it appears that they were in bed up-stairs with their mother at the time the accident occurred. Their grandfather, Roberts, had gone down stairs to light the fire. Suddenly a part of the flooring gave way, and their mother was thrown violently out of bed through the opening in the floor, and immediately afterwards the bedsteads on which they were laying fell with the rcmainer of the floor, and in its descent the bed and bedclothes were thrown over the children, which doubtless prevented their receiving greater injury. The houses were only cnmposed of one story, or more fatal results might have ensued.—Bollon Chronicle. DARING OUTRAGE.—On Monday last a most violent outrage was committed by a gang of the Claddagh fishermen on Mr, Dudley Persse, under the following circumstances : —Mr,. Persse, accompanied by some friends, went out in his fishing-boat on the above day, but, being aware of the vio lence and intimidation practised by the Claddagh fishermen on any who are hardy enough to fish in the bay, and thus dispute the monopoly of these daring legislators, took the precaution to arm himself and his friends. When about three miles from Burrin, they discovered a fleet of large sailing-boats leaving Galway, all formed into a regular line of sailing. They immediately knew who were approaching them, and got in readiness to return back as fast as they could, to accomplish which they had to pass through the entire fleet, which was formed in different lines, to prevent their escape. They were furiously attacked by the boats, sticks,manned with stones, to n ea , from hatchets, twenty a and do different thirty men ap o ns a o r f m d e e d s t w r n i e t h . tion. Several of the boats made an attempt to run them down, the crews continually using the most terrific language, threatening them with death, and telling the steersman, whom they knew, they would cut his throat with a knife, which one of them brandished, and hang him up at the mast if he did not heave to. They would positively have sunk the boat but that Mr. Persse and his party were so well armed, and showed such determination to resist. His boat h m en ost th v e io y le r n a t n m he a r nn 7 r. sh m or y e : ' being a very quick sailer, arrived close to the harbour about and effected a landing, while they pursued closely, yelling ' dye minutes he t f l o kr r e e at t e l n ie in li g e i e n t ' the the boats were moving up and up a position behind a wall ,to touching Mr. Persse's Ps protect ''''er:sllsien i andutgli'e andl n h s i e s 1 I fatty and to o t k h e boat, which lay underneath. Such a sight way never seen ; l an d e d, wading up to their necks in water; down every now and then, almost hundred of them still Mr. Peruse and his men did not fire; they attempted to surround them, but on every side the little party were pre threatened to fire if they came on. At last, a pared, and Currenrue, a lace a small party of police arrived from . t . P bout three miles off, and on the leaders being questioned by the serjeant as to the cause of their outra n eo conduct, th ey replied, that if Mr. Persse attempted to fish_ e I l l e g a a r i ( l, o n f e . ither his boat nor - his crew would ever more b showed and after this notice they went off.

The shareholders of the Aylesbury Railway held their half-yearly meeting on Monday last, when it was determined that they would forego their present dividend rather than let the debts of the company remain u nsa ti s fi e d. The £3OO applicable for the dividend is, therefore, to be disposed of in that way. It appears to be the wish of the shareholders that either a sale or a perpetual lease of the line be made to the Birmingham Company, who are the present renters of it. RETIRING FROM THE TURN.—The E ar l o f Chesterfield has directed the whole of his valuable breeding stud at Brethby-park, consisting of brood mares, stallions, foals, and yearlings, to be brought to the hammer next week. Lord George Bentinck and Mr. Bowe s , w h ose s t u d w ill b e sold at Doncaster, in addition to the Marquis of West minster's, are about to reduce their racing and breeding stocks. A CLASSICAL HORTICULTURIST.—At Sutton, near I Abingdon, Berks, a board s fixed up on a small cottage at the end of the village, with the following unique announce ment : " Thomas Cullum, arborist, florist, horticulturist, propagatory of culinary and esculent vegetables, indigenous and exotic trees, shrub, and plants ; budder, grafter, pruner, and trainer of standard, espalier, and mural fruit-trees, and operator of every practical branch of the horticultural geoponics.—N.B. Plantations laid out on the most pictur esque, geometrical, and scientific principles, on the shortest notice. Some of the newspapers mention the fact of the Emperor of China having left Pekin for Tartary, and speak of it as a flight to avoid the British forces. If we are not mistaken, however, the emperor every year spends the summer at Gahol, a town of Tartary. about 150 miles from Pekin, where he has a magnificent palace, and where he received Lord Maeartney's embassy in 1793. We imagine that the supposed flight is nothing more than the usual migration of the court to avoid the summer heats of Pekin. THE LATE DEAN OF WESTMINSTER.—This valuable preferment, which has become vacant by the demise of the very Rev. Dr. Ireland, on Friday,' at his residence in the Cloisters, Westminster Abbey, is the most lucrative deanery in the church, its revenue, we believe, exceeding many of the bishoprics. The late dean was dean of the order of the Bath. The senior prebendaries, the Rev. Dr. Causton and the Rev. W. N. E. Bentinck, administer the affairs of the deanery un til the appointment of the late dean's successor. The Hull and Selby Railway Company have declared a dividend of 10s. per share, a smaller one than appears to have been expected from the traffic returns. The cause of the dividend being less than anticipated is said to be the extra expense to which the Railway is subject by the running of mail trains at different hours to those despatched on ordinary business. A resolution was also moved empowering the di rectors to apply to Parliament for power to raise £250,000 by a further issue of shares to pay off the debts of the company, and leave a surplus for the efficient working of the concern. RUN FOR Gor.D.—Some ludicrous incidents arose out of the withdrawal from the banks of the money belonging to several sick and benefit societies. One case has been men tioned to us in which the members drew between £3OO and £4OO from the bank, and resolved to place it in the hands of the landlord of the house at which they hold their meetings. The landlord, having no use for the money, and finding it would add to his cares, determined to place it in a bank, and actually deposited it the same day in the very bank from which it had been taken. The members of another society having withdrawn their money, were divided in their opi nions as to the disposal of it. It was proposed to place it in the landlord's hands, but that was opposed, as were several propositions to place it in the hands of trustworthy mem bers, and to divide it, and they ultimately agreed to return with it to the bank from which it had been taken.—Bolton PresB. It is said that the government has decided that the Rev. Robert Daly is to be the new bishop, and that the delay in making the official announcement arises from the necessity of having the judgment of the Prerogative Court, pronoun cing the reverend gentleman as the duly-elected Dean of St. Patrick's confirmed by the Court of Delegates, to which Doctor Wilson has appealed, preparatory to Mr. Daly's elevation to the bench. This would give government the nomination to the deanery, which in that event would be come vacant. It really does look as if this were the case, for nothing short of such an arrangement being in contempla tion could justify the extraordinary delay that has taken place in making the appointment.—Dublin Evening Mail. BANKRUPT GAMBLERS.—For the edification of these gentlemen, we give the following clause in the New Bank ruptcy Act, which comes into operation next November:— " No bankrupt shall be entitled to the certificate under this act, and any such certificate, if obtained, shall be void if such bankrupt shall have lost by any sort of gaming or wagering in one day twenty pounds, or within one year next preceding his bankruptcy have lost £2OO by any contract for the pur chase or sale of any government or other stock, where such contract was not performed within one week after the con tract, or where the stock bought or sold was not actually transferred or delivered in pursuance of such contract." STATE OF THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS.—There is no material change since our last, in the relative positions of the workpeople and their employers in the county about Manchester. To the northward of the town, both spinners without s o still n a b a t l e a prospect st a d, and, of a and weavers are at work at the old p rices ; whilst to the southward and eastwa rd,—es p ecially at Ashton, Stal y brid g e, a G s lo fa s r so a p s , w H e y c d a e n a speedy resumption of emplo y ment- In Mancheste r , the spinners are all or ne arl y all at work, whil st the weavers are as generally idle.

AWFUL THUNDER STORM.—On Saturday se' nn i g ht th e to w ns of Looe and n ei g hbo urhood were visited with a terrific l n e d a r Stockport,—all por t l any a reasonable thunder storm. One man was killed. The electric fluid, after forcing out the crown of his hat, descended in front of his left side occasioning a complete lontitudinal section of his shirt and trousers, and shattering the stout half-boot of his left foot into fragments, which were scattered to a considerable distance. The only external injury was a flesh wound, about an inch long, above the left ear.

THE QUEEN'S MOVEMENTS.—Her Majesty's journey in the north is likely to be more extensive than was at first anticipated. The Duke of Argyll is making large prepara tion at lnverary Castle, embellishing his beautiful residence, and forming a new approach. It is probable. also, that her Majesty will visit the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, in the " far north," a t Dunrobin Castle, the oldest inhabited mansion in Great Britain. When her Majesty was informed that there was no good landing-place at Dunrobin, she replied, " Oh, I can land anyvvhere that the Duchess can." If the weather be propitious, and her Majesty's usual health con tinue, we believe both these visits will be paid. The clan Campbell arc in high excitement, and will pour down from all the hills to Inverary. We hope its most illustrious mem ber, the author of the Pleasures of Hope, will string his lyre on the occasion, and greet, with one of his deathless songs, the arrival of Queen Victoria among the scenes of his ances tors.—lnverness Couricr. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Monday week, the Rev. S. R. Carver, the minister of Stannington Church, with his wife, were leaving their house in a vehicle commonly used by them, when the horse suddenly became unmanageable and ran away down a steep road toward the Loxlev river. On coming to Malin Bridge, the two individuals, who bad both until that moment kept their seats, were thrown forward with great violence on the ground, the horse and carriage being like wise overthrown. An individual, who was near and saw t he accident, immediately ran and held down the horse's head, so that be was secured on the spot. Mr. Carver and his lady were presently taken into the nearest public-house, and medical aid sent for; but they were q uite insensible, and so much injured by the fall that no ho p es were entertained of their recovery. He died on We dnesday morning ; the lad y lingered in a hopeless state, being sadly injured, and *holly insensible, until Friday afternoon, when she expired.

Rather more inquiry for Cotton to-day, particularly from exporters, who have purchased about 1,000 bales,i which, with that done by the trade, may add up 2,000 bales, at yes terday's prices. COTTON MARKET, cz -EPTEMBER 8. We are enabled to report rather more favourably of our Cotton Market to-day ; the demand from the trade has been more general, and from 39u0 to 3500 bales have been sold at yesterday's prices, but without any change of feeling. Holders seem indifferent as to sales ; and although the market appears flat, prices remain steady. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, SEPT. 2. Our arrivals for this day's market are small compared with those of the last few weeks. The factors have madc a stand and hold old Wheat firmly at is to 2s per quarter advance. New met a free sale. Barley as last week, Beans were in better demand at full prices. Oats and Shelling unaltered in value. Other articles as last quoted. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, SEPT : 2. The shew of stock to-day was fair. The demand, however, is any thing but brisk, owing to the still unsettled state of things in this district. Prices for both beef and mutton remain unchanged. Best beef 5i4 to 6id per lb. ; best mutton 5d to 6d. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, SEPT. 7. During the present week, owing to the advance in Mark Lane, holders of new English wheat demanded more money, and a rise of is to 2s per quarter has been obtained in some instances; grind ing barley has been disposed of at 26s per 392 lbs. In beaus and peas little passing; oats, 6d to Is per quarter lower. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. SEPT. 5. The supplies of English wheat are moderate, but we have a good supply of foreign, the greater part of which has been entered at Its to 12s per quarter duty, and is offering for sale free. The low price of foreign wheat caused many buyers to be here from the country each market day during the week, and also this morning, and our millers have also been free buyers. The advance since this day week is 3s to 4s per quarter on English, and 4s to Ss per quarter on foreign wheat, and a very large business has been done. The demand for flour has improved, and is per quarter higher for ship flour. Barley; beans, and peas are without change in value ; and the few :samples of new barley are selling at 31s to 328 per quarter. The arrivals of oats are small, and we have a little im. provement in the demand, and prices of this day week are fully maintained. . ConN ExcsA79z, September. 7.. There is no further alteration in the trade this morning, but the advance in the value of wheat which took place on Monday has been firmly sustained. There is not much business going forward in any article, and oats are particularly neglected, though the sam ples are numerous, and the quality generally good. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, SEPT. 5. The accounts from the country respecting the " after grass" are generally favourable, the late rains having extended more or less throughout; there have also been heavy falls of dew, and the hopes of the farmers for a greater abundance of " keep" strengthened. This circumstance acts upon our market favourably, as a demand for Cattle as stock by farmers has sprung up, and consequently contributes to clear the market. The supplies to-day were similar in number to last Monday, comprising upwards of 3,000 head of horned Beasts, and 28,000 odd of Sheep and Lambs. The continu ance of colder weather induces the butchers to purchase more freely, and although prices have not generally advanced, they are still higher than they have been latterly, Clearances were made at an early hour. Beef, on an average, may be quoted at 3s 2d for coarse quality, 4s 2d for middling, and 45 6d for prime Ox. Coarse Mutton as Bd, and 4s 8d for Southdown. Veal, Lamb, and Pork are much the same in price as on last market day. MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, SEPTEMBER 3. The appearances of returning confidence, which we noticed in our last week's circular, have been fully confirmed by the subse quent course of the trade. Tempted by the very low price at which Wheat and American Flour were offered, both at Hull and Liver pool, buyers have come forward freely, and a large business has been done both on speculation and for consumption; and, though purchasers were freely met by sellers, some advance on the previ ously low rates has been established. The extreme pressure which existed at the ports being thus removed, the trade has taken a de cidedly firmer position. Oats, especially the finer qualities, have met a better sale ; and Oatmeal, the stock of which is brought to a very small compass, has been in good request, at rather higher rates. The weather has been somewhat unsettled, but not so much so as materially to retard harvest work. We imagine that two-thirds of the Wheat crop of the United Kingdom is secured, but only about one-third of all other kinds of grain. We have a steady firm market this morning, and suitable qualities of old Fo reign and English Wheat met a fair sale at an advance, which, from the uncertain state of prices last week, is variously stated, but may be considered as about 3d. per bushel. American Flour, which has been selling at rates out of proportion low, is fully Is. per barrel higher, whilst home manufacture supports previous rates. Oats without alteration. Meal, from its scarcity, is 6d. to Is per load higher. Other articles firm. New stuff is much wanted, but none is offering beyond such small quantities as have no effect on the market. Good new English Wheat would bring Bs. 3d. to Bs. 6d; Irish, 7s. 3d. to 7s. 6d. per 701bs. Oats, 3s. to 3s. Id. per 451bs. ; and Meal 255. to 30s. per load. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 6. With the exception of a few thousand quarters of foreign Wheat, and about 5000 barrels States and Canadian Flour, our supplies are not much increased since Friday; and from granary we had not so large a show of samples at this day's market as last week. The reaction which has occurred throughout the country, particularly at those places where the largeimports have been received, has not been followed up here by a degree of spirit such improvement would seem to war rant; the advance required has materially limited the pur chases, and we can only state a moderate amount of business in Wheats to-day, at an average of 3d per bushel over the rates of this day se'nnight. A few parcels of new Irish red Wheat have appeared, and brought about 7s, and one lot of very prime Scotch white as high as 85 6d per 701 b. States Flour is Is. 6d., and Canadian Is. per barrel dearer, but a less ready sale than previous to the advance. The few samples of new Irish Oats at market were taken off at 2s. 10d. to 3s. per 451bs. We had Hul ! inquiry for old Oats, but do not alter our quotations. The demand for old Oatmeal has a good deal subsided, and the above stated advance is now barely obtaitAble. The value of new Oat meal is about 28s. per load. In other articles of the trade there is no material change to note. The fullowing are the quantities of Grain, Flour, and Oat meal computed to remain in Liverpool, on the 31st August 1842 : In Bond—Barley, 9155 qrs. ; Oats, 8399 qrs. ; Rye, 172 ars. ; Beans, 33,938 qrs. ; Pease, 17,274 qrs. ; Flour, 9016 Frce—Wheat, 380,000 qrs. ; Barley, 2000 qrs. ; Oats. 3000 qrs. ; Rye, 560 qis.; Beans, 10,000 qrs. ; Pease, 7000 qrs. ; Flour, 150,000 brls. and 1000 sacks ; Oatmeal, 15,000 loads.
