" TIOBERT PEET THE CORN DUTIES (From the Bristol Journal.) As there is every reason to believe that Sir Robert Peel means to adhere to the sliding scale for regulating the duties upon the importation of corn, but that he intends at the same time to make such alterations therein, and also in the mode of striking the averages, that the frauds to which both now lead may in future be prevented, we subjoin the present scale of duties upon wheat, and another graduated scale of duty, which we have been assured approaches very nearly to that which is not only approved of by Sir Robert Peel, but which will receive the assent of those two great supporters of the agricultural interest, the Duke of Buckingham and the Duke of Richmond ; both of whom cannot have shown greater confidence in Sir Robert Peel's future measures, both in regard to the corn laws and the general policy of his go vernment, than by consenting to hold the prominent situa tions they have accepted in the new cabinet. Present scale for regulating the importation of wheat : Average price per quarter of Import duty per guar- British wheat. ter. s s d 73 - . .. 1 0 72 .. .. 2 8 71 . • • . 6 8 70 .. .. 10 8 69 • • • • 13 8 . 68 .. .. 16 8 67 18 8 .. .. 66 .. .. 20 8 65 .. 21 8 64 .. 22 8 63 .. .. 23 8 62 24 8 .. .. 61 25 8 .. .. •60 .. 26 8 .. 59 27 8 .. • . 58 .. 28 8 57 .. .. 29 8 56 .. .. . 30 8 55 .. .. 31 8 51 .. .. 32 8 scale is sufficient to show that its leading feature is to promote a system of gambling in the article of food, offering the highest premium, when the prices denote a scarcity of food. Take the following specimens of its working when opposed to the gerieral interest : When the price of British corn ranges from 635. to C6s. per quarter, for every shilling increase in price the duty is diminished ls. From 665. 68s. per quarter for every shilling increase in price the duty is diminished by 2s. From 68s. to 70s. for every shilling increase in price the duty diminishes 3s. And from 71s. to 725. there is a difference of 4s. in the duty. Until the price exceeds 665. the inducement to work up the averages may not compensate the labour and hazard of the attempt; but to work them up from 665. to 68s. gives an extra profit of 6s. per quarter, viz. : Diminished duty Increased price From 68s. to 70s. gives an extra profit of Bs. per quarter Diminished duty Increased price From 71s. to 725. only ls. advance in price, gives an addi tional profit of ss.

Increased price and if the averages could be forced up from Cks. to 725. per quarter, the additional profit on the introduction of foreign corn would be 20s. per quarter, namely— Diminished duty l4s. Increased price Can there possibly be a greater inducement held out to spe culation and gambling in the article of food than is here ex hibited ? The following scale of duties has been constructed so as to occasion the smallest variation when the price of corn is highest, and thereby diminishing to the minimum extent the motive for speculation, and is therefore free from the princi pal objections of the present one.

If to be constructed for the purpose of, increasing the revenue the diminution of duty must stop at 675. per quarter, all wheat imported when the averages are at or above that price to be subject to a duty of ss. per quarter. . • It should also be borne in mind, That the improvements in agriculture which have been made, and are still going on, in every parish in the kingdom, enable corn to be produced at a cheaper rate than formerly, and justify a reduction in the scale of duty. The improved systems of management have brought into cultivation much of the light lands, which were previously considered incapable of producing the most valu able descriptions of grain; and it is worthy of remark, that in wet seasons, as in the present, these light lands produce wheat of better quality than the stiff soils so highly ap preciated. The bringing of the greatest variety of land into cultivation is also the means of affording a more uniform supply, and may be one reason why a recurrence of scarcity is now less frequent than in former times; and for these reasons the new ministry may feel themselves fully justified in thus stopping short, and frustrating the excited hopes and delusive prospects of the corn-law abolitionists. THE CIIINESE WAR The following interesting communication on the state of our warlike operations in China, is from an officer who has distinguished himself in the expedition, and has been re ceived within a few days by a relative in this neighbour hood : " I have at length had an opportunity of seeing how the Chinese fight, and am more than ever convinced that we are engaged in a warfare which never can be considered as a glorious one. In eonsequence of the continued fiery edicts of the emperor, it was determined to approach nearer to Can ton. The boats of the advanced squadron contained about 500 men. The navigation was intricate, but we had explored it five days previously, and we succeeded in getting up to the battery, about 2 p.m., Saturday, March 13, being towed by the Madagascar steamer. The fort was about 350 paces in circumference, and the parapet fifteen feet high, mounting 27 guns. The steamer commenced the action, and one or two shots from her dislodged them almost immediately ; in fact, no gun was fired by them twice. The shot whistled about us pretty freely ; but, as it was evident they were deserting the battery, the boats were ordered to pull ,up and take posses sion. We found no one in the fort, which is situated on an island, and admirably adapted for a strong position. It has, accordingly, been garrisoned by the marines, and as it com mands one of the best approaches to Canton, will, I pre sume, be kept until hostilities cease. A strong raft con nected this island with both sides of the river. The Ple nipotentiary, as usual, put a stop to further proceedings, and we remained in a state of inactivity for the next three days, when we proceeded up inthe Nemesis with a flag of truce, to deliver another chop, and renew the protocol war. Very fortunately, John Chinaman took it into his head to fire at us, and we just gave him a shot or two, in earnest of what was coming, and returned to the Modeste. A passage for her through the raft was soon cut through, and the next morning the ship was moored within three-quarters of a mile of the bat tery. The Algerine, Starling, Madagascar, and Nemesis being in company, we waited until late that evening, in hopes orders would be given for the attack, but somehow or other it was judged not advisable. During the night, the raft opposite the new battery was cut through in two places by the guard boats without any molestation, which led us to fear they had fled from the battery. Fearing that low water would prevent the boats from getting in so easily as they might otherwise, and also to allow one division of boats to proceed up a channel, which entered the main branch of the river above Canton, and cut off the retreat of the Itow boats, which were drawn up in very gallant style, we did not weigh until half-past eleven. The Chinese stood to their guns remarkably well. The Modeste, however, 'did not fire a gun in return until she had passed through thelmom, and was abreast the fort. The stern anchor was then let go, and five broadsides cleared them out. Capt. Bouchier, of the Blonde, commanded the landing party , and did me the honour to select me as his aid-de-camp. We were soon on shore, and found about a hundred Chinese still in the battery ; they decamped, however, as quick they could, so much so, that although second in the battery, I never had occasion to draw my sword. The battery was situated on a small hill, covered with trees, the shot rattling amongst which must have alarmed them considerably. It was well protected by sandbags ; but they had not the means of point ing their guns. We found a considerable encampment, and quantities of match-locks, bows and arrows. I succeeded in picking up the colours of the regiment, (which we have since learnt was 1,800 strong and the elite of the Tartar enemy,) which will do as a trophy for your library until I can win others, more gloriously, for this warfare I am almost ashamed of. The fort mounted 30 guns. The boats took some more batteries, one mounting five guns at the western extremity of Canton, and an extensive grain store with nine guns: Two or three shots soon dislodged thee:, though they had repulsed two small boats of the Modeste, when we landed and found that very unfortunately for them one of our shot got through the house, and made an opening so that they could get out. We then pulled up opposite the city, and found the Plenipo with a flag of truce up as usual. It appears to me a most strange policy that the victorious party should not compel the vanquished to hoist the white flag first. The consequence of this manoeuvre was that the Chinese thought, I suppose, we had had enough of it, and they came down and fired several matchlocks at us. Down flag of truce—fire away again. This new method of lighting occurred five or six times. The ships remained off the city that night, and the following morning possession was taken of the factories, and the jack hosited. The Hong merchants and the Kwan-choo-foo (or officer answering to our mayor) waited upon Captain Elliot, and it was settled that the trade should be opened forthwith; ac cordingly the ships have moved up to Champoa, and are receiving teas, How we are going to commence hostilities a e ga t i;2.l_ pannot say.

It is a sure preventive against all cases of breach of promise," as the ink fades away and leaves the sheet blank again in about four weeks after being written upon ! Prefatory to an account of a trip by water from Limerick to Kilrush, on the Lower Shannon, some desciption may be acceptable of that long neglected but magnificent river, with reference to its capabilities as a means of commercial intercourse and inland navigation. The SHANNON, " the king of island rivers," takes its rise amongst the mountains of Leitrim in the north of Ireland. The precise spot has not been defined,—some writers as suming that it is identical with one or other of two small rivers that discharge themselves into Lough Allen at its northern extremity, after a southerly course of a few miles ; others that it properly commences in the overflow at the sound end, of that spacious sheet of water, which is supplied by several rivers, including the Arigna. and numerous brooks on every side, thus leaving the point in dispute (which is of little importance) to the arbitrement of fancy or conjecture. Adopting the latter opinion as the most reasonable, seeing that it eventually issues from the lake, whatever its original course of comparatively a few miles, the Shannon, accumu lates in volume as it advances, alternately presenting a broad and navigable, though occasionally interrupted stream, and diffusing itself into what may be called a chain of interesting lakes, generally increasing in magnitude as they approximate its mouth. The most extensive of these lakes are Lough Ree, and Lough Derg, each above twenty British miles in length, and averaging from five to six in width, bounded for the most part by elevated and mountainous districts, with deeply indented and frequently wooded shores, and diversi fied by numerous romantic isles. _ From the head of Lough Allen to Athlone, (including Lough Ree,) the distance is eighty-one British miles, and from Athlone to Banagher twenty-four miles—being 105 miles of a nearly south course in the middle of the island. From Banagher to Limerick, (including Lough Derg,) the river takes, in its general curvatures, a S.S.W. direction — distance fifty-four miles ; and from Limerick to the Atlantic ocean, runs west a little southerly, 71 miles, making an en tire navigable course, with bat few impediments, and all of them removeable, of 230 miles. More than double that length, or, at least, 500 miles of populous and highly im proveable coast, is watered by its stream, lakes, and lateral branches, offering faculties of internal intercourse, by its ge neral depth, natural advantages, and diversity of character, unequalled by any river in the United Kingdom, and sur passed by none of equal extent in the continent of Europe. It washes the shores of ten counties—Leitrim, Roscom►non, Longford, Westmeath, King's County, Galway, Tipperary, Clare, Limerick and Kerry, all susceptible of great agricul tural improvement, and some of them containing valuable quarries and mines. Between Limerick and Killaloe there are several falls or rapids, which are overcome in the navi gation by lutteral canals with occasional locks, cutting off deltas or curves, the boats, when these are _passed, again merging into the broad and placid stream of the river. The falls, considering the great length of its course, are but few and moderate, the general course being deep and sluggish, approximating in character to our English navigable rivers. Those from Killaloe to Limerick are,the greatest, amounting together to 97 feet 1 inch—those higher up, to the river Arigna, to only 49 feet 10 inches = making in all from Lough Allen to the tide-way at Limerick, 146 feet 11 inches. Very little advantage has, however, been taken of these falls in the working of mills, of which there are but two or three in the whole line. The estuary of the Shannon, which is truly magnifi cent in •extent, and is capable of receiving all the navies In the world, presents to the navigator the appearance of a successicu or chain of inland seas, in which, even so far up as Limerick, a distance of 70 miles, he may dash along before a fair wind, or beat up should it be unfavourable, aided by a tide-way with a flood equal to a height of 20 feet at the quays of the city. The banks of the river, particu larly along its lower half, are throughout highly interesting both to the agriculturist and geologist. The several coun- , ties whose shores it laves, being relatively in a north and south position, present considerable diversity both in soil and climate, some containing vallies productive of the finest herbage, others with soils on a warm and fertilizing substra tum of limestone, adapted to the production of the finest grain and other produce, and some, though less prolific, in viting the improving hand of the husbandman, or the pro fitable labours of the miner, in the extraction of fine stone, slates, and marble. Natural manures, particularly black and white marls, are readily accessible to all, and turf, a first ne cessary of life in that country, is abundant in many of the districts. The bogs, and callows (low meadow and grazing land), are also extensive, and within the reach of great im provement. Yet, strange to say, those advantages have until recently remained to a great extent unavailable, the na vigation of the river—the natural highway by which the counties on its banks, by the cheap and easy transit of com modities, could supply mutual wealth and mutual wants — having been almost wholly neglected. In supplying a. few hasty sketches of the Shannon, and the scenery on its banks, designed rather as reminiscences of its bolder features for the tourist, than as data for the speculative philosopher, a detailed description of this noble river and its capabilities, scarcely falls within my province ; and I feel the less regret that I am not called upon to enter upon such a task,—first, because I feel my inadequacy to point out the full advantages local and natural, of which its improvement gives promise, amounting almost to certainty ; and secondly, because my advocacy of effective measures of redemption is the less required, inasmuch as the government have at length resolved to improve, and it may be complete, a line of navigation which, h. d it been accomplished a cen tury ago, would have added millions to the agricultural and commercial wealth of the united kingdom ; and, at the same time, (a not less important advantage) by furnishing the vast population of the counties through which it runs, with the means of permanent employment beyond that arising from the public works required, would have redeemed from general or periodical destitution and disorder, to comfort and con tentment,—diffusing amongst them habits of industry and providence, and feelings of moral rectitude. Referring the reader, however, to an admirable description of the Shannon, in a treatise entitled, " The Inland Navigation of Ireland," &c., by C. W. Williams, Esq., of the Dublin Steam Com pany, of this town,—l cannot refrain from quoting a few passages, bearing peculiarly on the subject of this article. Mr. Williams, to whose enterprise and intelligence England • • and Ireland owe almost exclusively the advantages of steam navigation between the two countries, and its establishment in the interior of the latter, handles the subject as a practical man and a philanthropist. His work was published in 1833, and had, no doubt, great effect in rousing the government to a sense of the great importance of the navigation in ques tion. After stating, with respect to the Shannon, that nature has done her part ; that the capabilities of the river almost provoke the population to industry and intercourse • and that all the elements of internal and profitable traffic are in attendance, but have yet been neglected ;—he thus notices that fine river : " How then can we convey to English eyes the picture of the Shannon through its course. Let us suppose a navigable river taking its rise in some distant county in England as far from Liverpool as Essex or Middlesex. Suppose it occa sionally spreading itself into noble and picturesque sheets of wrter, of more than 20 miles in length, with numerous islands, receiving the waters of many rivers, and stretching its bays into the adjacent counties, as it were to increase the measure of its utility and beauty. Imagine it winding its way through Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and War wickshire, and the rich soil of Leicestershire ; and after passing by Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Cheshire, and running a course of 230 miles, falling into the estuary of the Mersey, in Lancashire. See it presenting to each of these counties the benefit of 50 miles of navigation, and we shall have a correct idea of the extent and capabilities of this river. " But how shall we describe the state in which it has re mained for ages as to trading intercourse, and in which three fourths of it remains to this very hour. Absolutely wanting in all the incidents of navigation. For nearly 100 miles of its length, not a sail or boat to be met with on its waters. No appearance of utility ; no incications of industry or capi tal ; even its beauties unknown. Deficient to an extent scarely credible in roads and approaches to it, and conse quently having but little connexion with the interior, to which nature designed its influence should extend. Without any employment of its waters, it flows unheeded by, and un productive of any good. Over many of its districts of great extent, from the absence of that control which human skill and means could have effected, its waters have become a source of wide-spreading waste. " The inevitable result of this neglect and inactivity is, that instead of becoming the direct means of connexion and intercourse between this family of counties situated on its banks, and of the consolidation of the interests of their re spective population ; it has, on the contrary, grown up, and remains to the present time, a positive and mischievous line of separation ;—the enemy, rather than the ally of social life. Instead of proving the parent of family and trading alliances, it has engendered nothing but a repulsive spirit, productive of enmity, district broils, and almost civil wars." Such was the Shannon, so late!) , as 1833, and the improve ments in the navigation, up to the spring of the present year, when the government plans began to be developed, have been partial and comparatively insignificant. The project of rendering the Shannon navigable, was en tertained so tar back as 1638, when a letter on the subject, (still preserved) was addressed to the unfortunate Earl of Strafford, then viceroy of Ireland; but though considerable sums have, during the last century been expended upon it, in some cases injudiciously, no adequate effort was made to complete it ; and so lately as 1832, Mr. Rhodes (civil en gineer, and member of a commission then appointed by go vernment,) reported that— " Taking a view of this majestic river, its lakes and latteral branches, which received the drainage of a consider able portion of Ireland, they also appear as if formed and designed by nature, as the great arteries of the kingdpm, for facilitating its agricult►►ral an►l commercial purposes, by • • marking out a splendid line of intercourse for an expeditious and cheap mode of conveyance, (through a populous coun try,) superior to any in the empire, and only requiring a little assistance from art to render it beneficially useful to an unlimited extent; but her grand designs have hitherto been in a great measure frustrated, and may not improperly be compared to a scaled book. This is caused by a few natural, but greater part of artificial obstruction, which dam up the water, and inundate the country to a formidable extent." The principal wants of the Shannon are a deficiency of roads and approaches. Few of the districts or towns by which it flows have any connexion with it. Extensive tracts are without landing or shipping accommodations, or even ap proaches to its waters, except at the bridges, which are few and far between. Between Killaloe and Drumsna, a dis tance of 107 British miles, there are only seven bridges. Shelter harbours, piers, and landing places, landmarks and beacons are also much wanted, to render available many otherwise convenient small stations for boats and shipping. Almost incredibie as it may appear, as regards a river that offers so many advantages in the improvement and conserva tion of its stream, about eighteen years ago the government had in view the project of lowering its waters, with a view to add a few thousand acres of land to the estates of several of the 2 7 00 i o t nd highly an improvable e extent s n y - t ter ritoryof n)- - 0100)a banks—a acres, proved navigation, was to be sacr ifi ce d ; wh i le the r i ver was to be rendered for ever useless as a gene ot . about general means of internal intercourse ! It is scarcely possibl e t o conce i ve how an id ea so utterly at variance with English feeling and good policy could have been entertained by any set of men, not utterly lost to reason and refleetion. The celebrated engineer, Mr. Rennie, was, nevertheless, employed to survey the river from its source to its mouth, with a view to its being drained off, and he em m employed Mr. Gra n th am to • oceed with the task. The estimate (says Mr. Williams) of this destroying process was £300,000. " The death of Mr. Rennie, however, h a ppily brought the survey to a close—put an en d t o th e pro ject—and left to the Shannonits waters, and its capabilities, to confer blessings on future generations." The same writer forcibly remarks " Some justification may be found for the neglect of such capabilities of intercourse, in the circumstances of the great extent and pcculiaritiFs of the navigatio n ren d er i ng d e t ac h e d efforts of counties or individuals unavailing. Th e very mag nitude of the object has been urged as sufficient to damp the ardor and energies of even the most competent and enter prisi It is true, combined exertions and systematic efforts, which nothing but great co-operation, or national means could produce, were essential to this great work. This may be some extenuation for the supinenessof the land owners and men of property, though none f or t h e nat i ona l governments of the last cent ur y . To the efforts of Mr. Williams to obtain " justice to the Shannon," the able reports of Mr. Rhodes, the late Mr. Nimmo, Mr. Mullins, and other engineers, may he attri buted the improvements now commenced. Roused to a sense of the great importance of the subject, the govern men t a t length, after previous minor grants, passed an act, i n 1839, appointing a board of commissioners to superintend the works, and granting for their completion (so far as that sum will effect it) X 500,000 as a gratuity, and £500,000 as a loan, to 'Os ;chola 15, I torn, to tut ei7 y ears. 4 considerable sum has atreaclY been compensation and pnrchase of land, providing steam pis and other requisites preparatory to the com mencement of the principal works. Steps have also been taken. in which the proprietors of the neighbouring lands have co-operated with the commissioners, to preserve the va:nable eel and salmon fisheries in the river, and to remove obstructions to the navigation. Anew wooden bridge, to re place the old one at Portumna, is also in progress of comple tion. The sum of £20,000 was allotted for the work. The toll for a foot passenger on the old bridge was, until the Dublin Steam Company became of late years the lessees, three-half pence, or about half a day's wages of a labouring man in these districts. The company, however, reduced it nearly one half, which was a great boon to the peasantry, and the new bridge will be toll free. Several new and .large piers arc to be built, one of them at Tarbert, on the Lower Shannon, and another, or an addition to the present incommodious one, at Kilrush. At the former place-the Dublin Steam Company erected a pier some years ago, partly of wood, but it was last year nearly demolished by the effects of a severe storm, and, in anticipation of the new one, has not been repaired. Private enterprise has meantime chalked out to a consi derable extent the course open to the government, by open ing out—at great expense, and to the infinite gain of the public—an advantageous traffic by steam and canal boats on several long lengths of the river. On the Lower Shannon, the Dublin Steam Company (who opened the navigation by steam some years ago) run two fine steam-ships, the Erin and the Garryowen, each upwards of 300 tons, between Li merick and Kilrush, touching at Tarbert (the most direct route to Killarney) and at other stations on the river, each nine miles apart. They have also canal-boats on the Upper Shannon to Killaloe_ ; thence to Portumna they navigate Lough Dearg in the Lansdowne steamer of 100 horse power, and the Shannon thence to Shannon harbour and the Dublin canal in the Avenmore, a steamer of 32-horse power, pecu liarly constructed to pass the narrows and locks where por tions of canal are cut to avoid the falls. From Shanno n harbour another of their steamers proceeds up the river as far as Athlone, in the heart of Ireland; and when the navi gation is opened out, steamers will doubtless be put on, pro ceeding to the source of the river in Lough Allen, and even tually, in all probability, to one or more of the seaports in the north of the island. Such is an outline of the Shannon, which, though brief and consequently imperfect, may yet serve to draw favoura ble attention to that noble river. Considering, however, its great extent, and the costliness of the improvements required to bring its superior advantages into full play, proportionately with those of many of our minor English rivers, I am not so sanguine as to assume that the grant recently made (barely equal to the expenditure in the formation of the 32 miles of railway between Liverpool and Manchester) will be suffi cient ; but it is to be hoped the judicious outlay will so far develope the advantages and profits of the undertaking, as will place out of difficulty the raising of any additional capi tal that may be requisite to the attainment of that grand de , sideratum. _ _ _ _ paid dredging vi I may here remark, as a circumstance which I consider highly creditable to the government, of whatever political opinions the administration that counselled it may have been, that a general survey of the whole island of Ireland has been going on for some years, and is now approaching to com pletion. So imperfect were all our former maps and plans, in the subdivisions, geological structure, quality, and precise boundaries of the land, that it might be said the monarch had but an imperfect idea of the realm subject to his (or her) sway. About 700 competent individual have been employed in the work simultaneously in three or four counties, under the superintendence of distinguished officers. Clare, Limerick, Kerry, and another county, alone remained to be completed, including the Lower Shannon. The land, to low water mark, is surveyed by the Royal Engineers, under Captain R. J. Stothard, of, that corps; the bed of the river, banks, &c., by the Sappers and Miners, under Lieutenants olff and Beechy, R.N. I was politely shown the map of the Lower Shannon and its banks, by Captain Stothard, who resides temporarily in Limerick. It consists of no fewer than 26 large sheets, on a scale of five feet to the mile, and is drawn with great accuracy and beauty, the smallest cottage, and even outhouse and tree being distinctly laid down. There is also a fine plan of the city of Limerick, on a scale of - six inches to the mile, and so minutely defined, that every house is distinguishable. These will all be finely engraved. (Trip from Limerick to Kilrusb, by the Shannon, in my next sketch.) UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCE. — It is a curious fact that there are at the present moment two boroughs in England, both seats for which are vacated in consequence of the ex members having accepted office under the new government of Sir It. Peel. These are-1. The borough of Huntingdon, whose late members, Sir F. Pollock and Col. J. Peel, have respectively been appointed attorney-general and surveyor general of the ordnance. The other borough is Marlborough, the late members for which, Lord Ernest Bruce and the Hon. H. B. Baring, have respectively been made vice chamberlain and a lord of the treasury. Marlborough and Huntingdon are therefore, for a brief interval, virtually placed in schedule A. SINGULAR INTRUSION.—EarIy on Friday morning, a lad was exercising a grey horse in the Crescent-mews, Minories, when the animal became restive, and the boy was making an effort to quiet the horse, when it suddenly turned its head in the direction of a staircase leading to rooms over a stable occupied by a gentleman's coachman and family. The door was open, and the horse sprung up the stairs with the boy on his back, and entered the sleeping-room of the coachman, whose wife was in bed. She was greatly alarmed at the entrance of the strange visitors, and called aloud for assit ance. A number of persons entered the building, but the horse would not retreat by the stairs, and after some time it was led through a door-way into a hayloft adjoining. With some difficulty the animal was secured by ropes and brought down a plank without any injury.—Morning Herald. ' An accident of a distressing nature occurred on the 28th ult., in Sturminster Marshall, by which two respectable families have been plunged into great distress. It appears that Frederick Joseph Belcher, Esq., a fine young man, 20 years of age, an ensign of her Majesty's 60th regiment of foot, who was staying for a short time on a visit at the house of his uncle, Charles Parke, Esq., of Lower Henbury, was induced, by the fineness of the weather, on the day above mentioned, to bathe, in company with Frederick Fame, Esq., a relative of the late General Fane, in the river Stour. After being in the water some time, he was observed to sink. No assistance could be immediately rendered him, and consider able time elapsed before the body was taken out of the water, when, notwithstanding every exertion was made by the medical gentlemen of Wimborne, who were quickly on the spot, life was found to be quite extinct. —Sherbodne Jonrnal.

Alarliet4 LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, SFr►•. 10, Sugar.—ln the early part of the week the market was dull, there has, however, been a better demand during the last few days for good and fine descriptions, but for the lower qualities prices must be considered almost nominal; the sales of B. P. amount to nearly 700 hhds., at rather improved prices. Bengals are also much in quired for, and 3000 bags sold, at 72s to 72s 6d for fine white, 62s to 7os for low to middling, and 443 to 46s per ew t. for Khaur. Foreign —The Refiners have taken 210 chests strong Bahia, about one-fourth white, at an average of 19s 3d, and 40 chests soft white at 17s to 19s per cwt. Nothing to report in Bonded Refined. No sales worthy of notice in Molasses. Coffee.—The sales of Plantation have been limited, comprising about 100 casks of Jamaica, without change in prices; 70 bags.Demerara were also sold at the quota tions. Of Foreign 80 bags only reported; Bahia at 41s, and ordinary Laguayra at 43s Od to 45s per cwt. No sales of Cocoa, Ginger or Pimento: 400 bags Black Pepper brought aid to 4id per lb. Rim-350 bags Bombay sold at lls 3d per cwt. Rum.—There has been a good demand for B. P. this week, the sales amounting 400 puns., chiefly strong Demerara, at our full quotations, with a few choice Jamaica at es per gallon. 140 hhds. East India have been sold at is 6d to is 6id for proof strengths; also a few puns. Foreign at is 3d per gallon. Tea.—On the arrival of the overland mail with accounts from China, stating that 11,000,000 lbs. had been shipped, previous to the 19th May, and that as much more was likely to follow, a complete panic took place in the market, 'and prices immediately declined 7d to 8d per lb from the highest quotations during the last month.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 10 A good attendance of buyers in the market to-day, but the pressing anxiety of holders to force sales frightens them ; they return, purchasing less than they really intended to do, feeling assured that such a state of things must force prices still lower. The quantity sold to-day is estimated at 4000 bales, at easier prices. The sales of the week are 22,580 bales, of which 1400 are to exporters and 500 to speculators. Prices generally id. lower. than last Friday. COTTON MARKET; SEPTEMBER 11 A somewhat improved demand has been experienced to-day, and the tone of the market is decidedly firmer. Speculators have been operating to the extent of 1200 bales ; exporters 300, and al together we make the day's business to consist of 5000 bales, and the market closes steadily. COTTON MARKET, SEPTEMBER 13 A.numerods attendance of buyers in our market this morning, which caused a degree of bustle and animation to which we have for some time past been utter strangers, and one redeeming feature of the encreased demand is, that it emanates principally from the trado, who now appear more willing to purchase to some extent. We are enabled to write upon 7000 bales, only 1500 of which are en speculation, leaving upwards of 5000 bales for the trade: Surats are consumed in immense quantities; 1500 have been sold to-day from 3id to Sid, principally below 4d. Altogether we have a healthier appearance, and the continued fineness of the weather will put a cheerful face on every thing. COTTON MARKET-WEEKLY REPORT.

Prices of all descrip tions may be noted fully 2s per cwt. lower than on this day se'rinight. The Provision market is very firm, and the large quantity required for government purposes, inspires holders of Beef and Pork with much confidence. Bacon is less inquired for, and 55s may be mentioned as an outside quotation. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, SErr, 11 Since this day se'nnight we have had moderate arrivals of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal coastwise and from Ireland; from Canada. 1000 qrs of Wheat, 12,086 brls Flour, and 300 qrs of Peas ; and from foreign states 26,069 qrs of Wheat, 880 qrs of Oats, 1634 qrs of Barley, 4431 qrs of Beans, 929 qrs of Peas, and 100 brls of Flour. The duty on Wheat is now 2s ad per qr ; oa Flour is 7d per brl ; and the rates of import on Barley, Beans, Peas, and Rye have declined Is 6d per qr respectively. Yesterday and to-day have been fine, but, during the previous part of the week, we had alternate wet and fine days, and harvest made little progress. At yesterday's market a considerable business was done in Wheat, both bonded and free, at 3d per bushel above the current rates of Tuesday, the trade exhibiting increased firmness. Flour was in moderate de mend at our previous quotations. Both Oats and Oatmeal have met a very limited inquiry ; holders, however, have shown no dis position to give way, and we quote prices for each without change. In Barley, Beans, or Peas there has been very little done, at about last week's rates. LONDON - GAZETTE FRIDAY; SEPT. 10 PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED. T. Acott and T.
