Dodo. THOUGH'' Our thoughts, our roving thoughts, are free — Free as the air around us! No limits in the lines they see Of time and space that bound us. They wander through the dreamy past ; No pow'r can stay their motion : They travel o'er the mighty vast Of being's changeful ocean ! Alike they roam the present time, And visit future ages : Through ev'ry land, in ev'ry clime They speed their busy stages. To years they bear me in their flight That in the past have vanish'd ; And oft they spread before my sight The scenes that time bath banish'd They can revisit childhood's day, With all its sparkling treasures; And dance again within the ray That beam'd from boyish pleasures ! Those sounds that then would charm my ear— Those scenes that smil'd bet To youthful recollections dear They only can restore me! The music of a mother's voice fore me, That soath'd my infant sadness, Again can _make mi . ) , mind rejoice— gladness! But, ah! with flee A thousand charms the past hath shown That dazzl'd and delirlited: Those thoughts again can make their own, By ruthless time though blighted. The friends whose love hath chas'd away Or shar'd our pain and sorrow— Mingl'd their smiles with ours to-day, Their tears with ours to-morrow; The friends to love and mem'ry dear, Though ocean's surge divide us, Those thoughts will of en bid appear, And stand again beside us. Outstripping time, our thoughts can live In future scenes and stories; And contemplations visions give A glance of brighter glories ! Our thoughts, our roving thoughts, are free— Free as the air around us! No limits in the lines they see Of time and space that bound us Liverpool, Jan. 20, 1812 J. M. L LITERARY NOTICES Church of England Quarterly Review.—January, 1842, London : Painter, Strand The contents of the present number of the Church of Envland Quarterly are marked by ability of a very high order, and many of the articles are calculated to be of emi- nent use at the present momen Amongst these, we may mention in particular the article " Palmer v. Wiseman," in which the doctrines of the Romish church are ably stript of the disguises under w h Jesuitry has endeavoured to cloak their deformities from the eyes of the world ; and the article entitled " Historical Sketch of the explaining away system of Interpretation." In the latter the Puseyite heresy is ably and most convincin gig handled, its doctrines being submitted, one by one, to a searching examination ; and the remarks of the various members of the epi.copal bench, in condemns- tion of each, quoted from recent charges delivered to the clergy of their respective sees. This article, we should sug gest might, with great benefit to the church, be printed sepa- rately for circulation as a pamphlet The review of Captain Basil Hall's " Patchwork . ' santly written, and agreeably relieves the reader of the more solid and more valuable articles by which it is preceded and followed The Ancient Egyptians" is also a pleasant arti cle, displaying considerable taste and learning. " The Vo luntary Principle at a Discount" is atrenchant and deservedly severe exposure of the Reverend mountebanks, whose reli gion consists in hatred towards all church establishments ; and in the number of whose accomplishments and virtues learning, disinterestedness, and modesty are seldom found. We strongly recommend its perusal to the Reverend Anti- Corn-Law schismatics throughout the country. The opini ons of the writer of the article, entitled " The Church in Ire land," we cannot coincide in ; and we shall probably refer to them upon an early occasion. Those, however, on "Colonization" and "the State of the Nation" are quite to our taste The latter, in particular, is a slashing affair, and will tell, as, indeed, it deserves, upon the public mind.

EXTRAORDINARY OccuauzNcE.—A few days ago as Mr. Butler, farmer, who resides near Whitwell, was returning home from York in a spring cart, he was accosted by an ap parently well-dressed lady, who wore a muff, veil, &c., and who desired him to let her have a ride as she was benighted. Mr. Butler agreed to do so, and after they had proceeded some distance, and ►iad arrived at a rather secluded spot, the lady desired him to gee out of the cart, as she had lost her glove. The farmer, however, declined, be being suspicious that all was not right. The fair one then alighted from the vehicle, and Mr. Butler immediately put his horse into a gallop. He had no sooner done so than several shots were tired after him, but without teking effect. On arriving at home he found the muff in his cart, and discovered within it a brace of loaded pistols and a clasp knife.—York Courant. EXTRAORDINARY INVESTIGATION.—About three weeks since, a perfect male skeleton was discovered in a field near Devises. It was by a young man whilst digging for clay, w ho at first attached no importance to the subject, and re interred the bones. The fact, however, was communicated to the clergymen of the neighbourhood, who had been pre viously informed that murders had been committed near the spo t, and they caused an inquest to be held. It appears that about SO or 90 years ago, there was a public-house called the Shepherd and his Dog, kept by Thomas Burry, le stone on near the the Salisbury road; that Burry himself three-ml was of ill -repute, and his house of worse ; that at that period large numbers of pedlars travelled the road ; that many of s helter at the Shepherd an d D og, but that few them sought left the house alive, or if they did, it was only to be mur dered on the roa d, and that the road th en ran near the brick field.man near Sutton, of U rc hf ont, 88 years of An old when--, b e was a shepherd b oy , t h ree -score and sliaats at the house, overheard some persons concerting the murder of a Scotch pedlar then there ; and that W i th ers went to Urchfont and gave information of the fact, when the Urch font pe op l e came and r escue)the pedlar through the wi n d ow.

The jury, therefore, returned ave • edict to that effect. The forenoon of the day of our ;;ival at Klima! w cloudy with occasional rain, and a brisk and rather chi', ward and westwarci ever, with whom I wa. ssociated on board the several of whom were like myself strangers in country, were anxious to avai, ae remarKaDle and highly interesting bathing-place of :ee, about thirteen miles distant, to pay it a visit, and after awaiting for some hours a favourable change, the day becoming rather brighter, though still cloudy and menacing, it was ruled by the ladies—who on this occasion exhibited a more adventurous spirit than their ruder companions—that we should proceed in a car, taking our chance of the weather. A machine, of the class peculiar to the country, of very hum ble pretensions to elegance, and, from long tear and wear, almost guiltless of paint or decorative trappings, was accord ingly procured, in which we contrived to pack ourselves, in such numbers as would have subjected the owner of a similar vehicle in England to a heavy fine for imposing so ponderous a weight on a single horse. The animal, moreover, was com paratively small, rough and shaggy, apparently in but sorry travelling condition, and giving no promise to an English eye of sufficient power to accomplish,a third of the journey. In Ireland, however, they manage these matters without being scrupulous to a shade; and there is a vivacity and stamina both in man and beast, peculiar to their clime, which enable them to overcome difficulties in the attainment of a desired which we, in our refinment (if I may so term it) would scarcely venture to encounter To our regret, our worthy and entertaining friend Captain Kennedy, being officially engaged on board, against his re turn voyage on the following day. could not accompany us. How he could have disposed of himself, had it been otherwise, puzzles conjecture,—for, though the regular complement was but five, we mustered seven in number, — namely, Mrs. Kennedy, Mr. Sibthorpe, (one of the agents of the steam company at Limerick,) and Mrs. S., Captain and Mrs. Christie, my redoubtable self, and the " jarvey." On one of the lateral seats of the car sat the two eentlemen d ; on the other the three ladies, or rather ustice and becomin 3llantry say, the " three graces a lovelier constellation either in mind or feature Could scarcely be conceived. Your humble servant contrived to stow him self in the little cock-pit behind, between the rails at the back of the seats, and with his feet, extended, through a small hatchway in the hold, in a somewhat comical but not un comfortable position, facing the horse, or rather the back of the driver (who was perched on a little dickey over our Rozinante's tail), but with the advantage over my companions of seeing the country on both sides, without every moment .g my head to the rightabout. One of the lively dames trout, playfully bestowed upon me the not inapt cognomen at "jack in the box." Our driver, with a face betokening the greatest good-nature, and muffled up in a drab great coat copiously patched, had some difficulty, by inclining his body forward, in keeping the machine,•with our accumulated pon clerosity behind, from lifting his nag from the ground, and " kicking" us in a heap into the highway ; but no such acci dent took place, nor would its occurrence have been very disastrous, our feet being at a very humble elevation from the ground. When we were all "on board," and the driver got the reins in hand, his countenance assumed a comical aspect of surprise but not dismay, when Mr. Sibthorpe, who wits waggishly inclined, told him, with imperturbable gravity, not be hurrying himself, as there were three or four more pas sengers to be accommodated. Off we, however, started with out waiting for such poetical accession to our numbers, drove to and partly through Kilrush, and diverged from the market square westward on the Kilkee road. Our pace was at first very moderate, and after passing a handsome new School house. and the new Workhouse, and encountering the ac clivity of Broom-hill, it gradually slackened until we were almost at a standstill. My friends began to apprehend that we should have a tedious journey ; and, for myself, 1 had no hope of our accomplishing a league of the road, my estimate of the hardiness and endurance of an Irish horse being un justifiably low. We all, however, enjoyed that buoyancy of spirits which, I verily believe, is inhaled with the very air of the sister kingdom, and cared so little for the result, that our delay only furnished new food for joke and merriment. " Don't be afther running off with us at this railway rate," said Mr. Sibthorpe, " only consider the ladies. Sure and he's a fine handsome horse that of years, and I shouldn't wonder but ye'll be selling him to the lord lieutenant before long, for his own private use." Paddy, however, took all this, and much more badinage, in good part, and remarked, " If the gintlemen'll only walk up the hill, ye'll see how he'll go when he warrums a bit." We ac cordingly alighted, and walked leisurely to the top, enjoying the fine view of the wide estuary of the Shannon, with its islands, headlands, and indentures, and the diversified coun try for many miles on its banks. And, sure enough, Paddy was right; for, after resuming our seats, the " cratur" began to " warrum," and trotted along with his unconscionable load at a brisk pace all the way, with the exception of a momen tary abatement at the top of an occasional brow, his master, after allowing him a short breathing space, again effectually urging him on by a kindly and familiar " Get along wid ye. The road between Kilrush and Kilkee is for the most part through uninteresting tracts of bog, which, though cultivated to a considerable extent, and sprinkled with small cottages, and an occasional erection claiming the distinction of a farm house, in the more elevated and productive spots, has, during the greater part of the year, a bleak and comfortless appear ance. The route is, moreover, circuitous, in order to avoid a deep indenture of the Shannon on the left, properly a minor arm of the sea, at the top of which a considerable brook or small river disembogues itself. Here, close to the bridge which we crossed, there is a small clingy hamlet, called Scagh, rendered the more gloomy by its being a depot for turf col lected in the vicinity, which is piled on each side the high way, and amongst the cottages, in huge black stacks, in rea diness for the turf boats plying to Limerick, many f which lle in the bay, and indeed in numerous little creeks along the whole low shores of the estuary to the westward, as far as Loop Head. The boats pay from £5 to £lO each, according to their ton nage, for a load of turf, which is sold at the city by what is called a kish, being the contents of a large oblong square bas ket, 5 feet 2 inches in length, 2 feet 11 in width, and 3 feet 6 in depth. This measure will contain from 6to 10 cwt., ac cording to the dryness and compactness of the article, the heaviest, if dry, being esteemed the best. The price varies, as the season may be propitious for cutting and drying this cutting this national fuel, from 3s. to 55., and in the previous year (though it is an unusual occurrence) it rose to 9s. The cabins here are generally of the usual small dimensions, built of clay, and rudely thatched—domiciles of slight pre tensions to neatness or comfort—the smoke ascending by a hole in the roof, also thatched and wattled round with bands of straw, ire humble outward resemblance to a chimney. Most of them have a small low door, and a minute square window in front, frequently out of plirn, and, as it were, squinting upon the passer by. Some few cannot even boast of the luxury of a single window. We observed many of them partly denuded of their thatch, the effect of the violence of the gale that had nearly proved disastrous to our vessel on our voyage from Liverpool, and what remained stayed down with straw ropes, tied to stakes in the ground, and forming a rude net work. particularly over the more exposed and rounded ends of the roof, giving them somewhat the appear ance of tents. The broken panes of those windows origi nally glazed were supplied with wisps of straw or rags, the glazier being but little in requisition. On others large stones and pieces of wood lent their friendly aid to the same object. Here and there, however, a modern taste for improvement was manifested, in better materials and construction, white washed walls, decorative enclosed flower plots in front, and, in one or two instances, green painted doors and window sashes. The soil being almost wholly reclaimed from the moss, is for the most part sterile, but a few fields have been so far improved and enclosed as to produce oats and barley. Potatoes is the general produce, and both men, women, and children were busily employed in turning up the soil in nar row buts, with the long narrow spade or mattock generally in use amongst the peasantry, and otherwise preparing it to receive the seed. Here, as well as in other parts of the neighbourhood of Kilrush, a species of large sea weed is sue eessfully used for manuring potato ground. This marine plant is gathered in summer from the rocks—an often peri lous vocation. It has several large fist leaves growing from the root, sometimes of from two to three yards in length. It is laid on the top of the soil for a time, and in its decay loses its dark colour, and, becoming of a light hue, resemble s large wet shavings of deal ti m b er - from a joiner's shop. The traveller will also remark throughout this boggy district, many roots of trees, and sometimes stems, that have been dug up and thrown on the surface, where they are frequently left for years. They are chiefly the remains of fir trees, that once, no doubt, formed a stately natural forest, and are used for firewood, rude fencing, &c. nig Rug subside aireic - ne siot motion by the ne some parts of the t Huse r t piled o. having been undeimined, or are rousad into cOffol com- vassra of rooted from t heir preci sites, by the fury of the billows. At other plaees, where the shore is sloping, the smaller fragments, though of such size and weight as to appear immoveable, have become worn to contact in which they are held by the warring waves. The whole, indeed, forma d a combination of the beautiful and the grand in coast scenery, and formed an apt representation of the ruins of a long line of the rocky fortresses of nature. (conclusion of Kilkee in our next.) MISCELLANEOUS THE MARRIAGE ACT.—In the London Gazelle of Fri- day last, it is announced that the Socialists' Institution in John-street, Fitzroy-square, has been licensed for the cele- bration of marriages From this infidel measure extraordi- nary fruits were to be expected, but it was scarcely to be anticipated - that its privileges should have been sought by a sect of reprobates who repudiate and denounce the institu tion of marriage as a pernicious restraint upon natural liberty, If the law be really open to such an abuse—if licenses for the celebration of marriage can be obtained by men whose object can be no other than to convert the cere- mony into a filthy mockery, it is high time that some change were made to guard against the recurrence of such scanda lous profanation. DISTRESSING CASE AND Loss OF LIFE.—On Sunday afternoon, the 9th instant, a number of youths were sliding on a sheet of water at Golden Valley, near Condor, in this county, when it appears some thoughtless person passing at the time, threw a pennypiece a considerable distance from the bank for any one who had courage to fetch it. James Grice, aged 18, son of John Grice, a collier, residing at Golden Valley, eager to outvie his companions, darted after the penny. In attempting to pick up the prize, the ice gave should in tritlhe was suddenly immersed in the water, a depth I of only six feet. The sufferer was struggling in the water, ultimately under the ice and in sight, nearly a quarter of an hour. After some loss of time, a rope was procured, and thrown to him, which he seized ; but, al4s ! the terrified companion let slip the end, and before a second could be procured, the poor fellow, exhausted, sunk to rise no more. DOMESTIC ETIQtTETTE.—The father, or chief of a family, enjoys always a respect and an authority almost unlimited ; the children are brought up in the most entire deference and submission to the will of their father; they show him a respect which neither age, nor social position, nor any cir cumstance of life, can lessen. The son cannot sit clown before his father without permission ; he only speaks in his presence when questioned, makes an honour of serving him and an ticipating his least wishes. The father begins.only to. forego his paternal authority when his 'son is married and settled ; but the respect and deference of the son remain invariably the same. We have a singular example in Ibrahim Pasha and his father Mehemet Ali Pasha. In the hierarchy of the Ottoman empire, as Pasha of Mecca and the holy places, Ibrahim is the greatest pasha in the empire, and all the others ought to rise at his approach. In order not to be wanting in what he owes to his son as dignitary, Mehemet Ali Pasha, who, as father, ought not to rise at his approach, always waits for him standing, enters at the same time with him at any public ceremony or great presentation, as, for instance, at lbrahim's return from a long campaign. With the exception of these rare occasions, Ibrahim is always completely effaced before his father; he fulfils towards him all the duties of a submissive and respectful son, kisses his hands, waits his permission to sit down, and, even with his permission, lie rarely smokes in his presence from respect.— Perrier's Syria. MELANCIIOI:Y SUICIDE.—We are sorry to record the death, by his own hand, of Dr. Glass, of Fourbires, near St. Andrew's, on Monday, December 27. Early in the morning the family were alarmed by the loud report of a gun, and on attempting to enter the room from which it was heard the door was found locked. On breaking into the room the un fortunate gentleman was found lying on the floor with his head shattered to pieces. Both barrels had been heavily loaded, and the trigger pulled by a measuring square, which was tenaciously grasped by the hand of the deceased, who had placed the muzzle of the gun in his mouth. Dr. Glass had been some time in India, and had there a coup de soleil. He had been only JO or 11 weeks married, and had since then shown several marks of mental alienation. This event has caused a painful sensation in the neighbourhood, where the unfortunate gentlemen was greatly and deservedly re spected for his kindness of feeling and honourable conduct, being a benefactor to the poor, to whom he was ever ready to afford pecuniary and other relief, and to give them gratui tously the aid of his professional services.—Caledonian Mer cury. EXTRAORDINARY INCIDENT.—A master of a vessel from Hayle brought from that place to Swansea this week a pas senger, whom he shipped as a gentleman, but who at sea de clared herself to be a lady. Her account of herself is most romantic. She states that she escaped from a nunnery at Halifax. in America, accompanied by her lover, with whom she embarked for England. They were wrecked on the voy age, and cast away on an island, where her companion died. Here she remained for some days, when she was taken up by a vessel and conveyed to England. She is silent on her sub sequent history, and refuses to give her name. She says that she has numerous friends in Swansea, but does not intend to reveal herself to any of them. She professes to have endured much trouble, and her mind appears to be exceedingly un happy. Her person is beautiful, and her hands and feet par ticularly small. From her conversation, and some explana tory remarks she made on some passages in the Bible, (every part of which she seemed conversant with,) the captain judged her to be well educated. and of a superior turn of mind. Her age is about 16. She has a liberal supply of money, and asserted that she could draw from any bank in England. On leaving the captain she remarked, "We shall meet again at Cardiff," whither he was to sail hence. The conclusion the writer draws from her improbable narration is, that she has experienced some calamity which has affected her reason.--Cambrian. GLEANING IN CORN-FIELDS.—At the last sessions there was a prosecution for felony—Samuel Raisher against Sarah Taylor, of Kingstanley, in this county. It appeared that the prisoner persisted in gleaning or leazing before the field of wheat had been cleared, and thus clearly in law committed a felony. At the trial the prisoner set up a defence that she considered she had a right, and the jury, by the chairman's direction, supposing she might consider such to be the case, found her not guilty ; after which the chairman addressed the prisoner as follows Prisoner, mind what you do for the future ; if you are brought here again you cannot plead ignorance. You have no right to leaze until the field is cleared, and mind you tell your children and neighbours so." \%e insert this notice not for the purpose of encouraging prosecutions of this nature, but in order that poor people may be aware what they are liable to for trespassing in fields before they are cleared and contrary to the will of the occu pier. —Gloucester Journal. DISTRESS IN PAurs.—The National states that the pub lic hospitals of Paris are completely filled with patients, and that no assistance can he afforded to the numerous cases which are every day increasing in a more than ordinary pro portion, in consequence of the distress prevailing amongst the working classes, and of the typhus fever now razing in an alarming degree. "In the space of two hours," conti nues the National, " we have seen 43 patients refused ad mittance at one hospital, all in a deplorable state, and, in fact, reduced to despair. One of those invalids exclaimed, If you do not receive me, I have no other alternative but to throw myself into the river,' and the wretched man burst into tears. We have to add, that yesterday, the 14th of January, there was not a single place vacant throughout the hospitals, and that the same scenes were renewed in our presence. At the Hotel Dieu there was so complete a scarcity of blankets that on Friday the Administration was obliged to purchase 50 pair. It is said that additions are to be made to the hospitals of St. Louis and La Pitie ; but as we observed five years since linen, clothing, blankets, and even the apart ments are defective, insufficient, and bad." AWFUL DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN. — On Monday an in quest was held at the Coach and Horses Inn, Ipswich, before Mr. S. B. Jackaman, on view of the body of the Rev. John Pyemont, curate of Eyke, Suffolk, who was found dead at a house in Globe-lane. It appeared that the deceased had been dining out on the previous Saturday evening. The following evidence presents the material points in the case. Elizabeth O'Brien said, I am a single woman. I live near Miss Dallenger's in Globe-lane. I am a lodger. I went into Miss Dallenger's a little after eleven o'clock. Went to put a few coals on the fire by her request. as her servant was busy. It was about half-past eleven o'clock, and Mr. Pye mont was sitting on the sofa in the lower room. I had never seen him before. There was no one with him. He did not speak to me. He was leaning his back against the sofa. He did not appear to be ill. he was sitting still. He gave a \ violent groan, fell down, and died. He appeared to have been drinking. I was not in the room more than two minutes. There was a candle burning on the table. There was not a large fire. He groaned and fell off the sofa. I called Miss Dallenger, who said, " Don't be frightened, he is only in a fit." I don't think lie hit himself against any thing in the fall. There was no glasses nor any appearance of drinking in the room. Miss Dallenger was in an adjoin ing. house. She got some water and washed his temples with it: He was quite dead, and showed no signs of life after the fall. Mr. Sampson, surgeon was then sent for, who came immediately and pronounced Mr. Pyemont dead. Ipswich Express. EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION IN BELFAST.—WO regret to announce the complete destruction by fire of Mr. Duf field's extensive provisio❑ stores in James's-street. The fire broke out last (ThurSday) night, between ten and eleven o'clock, and, at the time we went to press, presented a most alarming aspect, the whole range fronting the street being one mass of flame. The tire seems to have commenced in the rear part of the store, and quickly extended over the whole of this extensive and valuable building, notwithstanding the exertions of the different fire-engines, which were speedily brought to the spot. The part of the buildings facirq James's-street is about 150 feet in length and three stories in height ; and, when in full blaze, presented an appearance much resembling, though on a somewhat smaller scale, the late dreadful fire in the Tower of London. Notwithstanding the torrent of rain which fell during the whole time thou sands of spectators were collected on the spot, watching with anxiety and wonder the progress of the alarming scene. We were informed that the store was full of hams and other pro visions ; but as to the pecuniary extent of the devastation we have no means of knowing at present. We have not learned whether the property was insured. The manner in which the officers and men of the 29th Regiment exerted themselves was beyond the highest praise which we could bestow, and the police-force, ably directed by Mr. Coulson, deserve similar praise. So much of the property as could be removed from the premises was carried out and thrown into the street, and the greatest precaution used to prevent any of it being carried olf.—Belfast News Letter. FOURTEEN VESSELS ASHORE AT SUNDERLAND.—OR Thursday we had a tremendous snow-storm on this coast, which nas been attended with very great destruction amongst the shipping entering the harbour of Sunderland. About four o'clock in the afternoon, when it began to grow dark, it being then flood-tide, a great number of large vessels, while endeavouring to proceed up the river (Wear), got foul of each other, and a strong southerly wind then blowing across the river, many were driven upon the potato-garth ; and between that time and six o'clock vessels continued at intervals to ground there, most of which received more or less damage, by driving against each other. It is impossible, into particulars, the very l a t e occurrence o f thi s di sas t er , t o en t er particulars, but we may state that considerable injury had been done, masts, yards, bowsprits, booms, and quarter boards, &c., being broken, and the hulls of some of the vessels being stove. There are certainly not less than twelve vessels at present (twelve o'clock. Thursday night) lying ou the potato-Barth, but it is most probable that the number is even larger. Amongst those which arc reported to have sustained damages are the Thomas Burdon and the Far nacres, both of which belong to this port (Sunderland). About the sa me ti me the brig 'William, and the brig Thomas Gales, attempted to take the harbour, but were driven on shore between Hendon and the South Pier, where they are now lying, but it is thought their situation is not very dan gerous.

It contains apparently about 200 houses. The adjoining coast, facing the mighty and ever restless Atlantic, is peculiarly wild and romantic in its cha racter, and presents many objects interesting to the natural ist and the geologist. The entrance to the village is by a straight line of street, called " Pan-mug-Hanover -street (!) and from which, near its top, another diverges to the right. On arriving near the top of the former, atter a somewhat dreary and monotonous ride from Kilrush, the visitor, all at once, obtains a view of a fine bay, opening into the far-ex tended deep - and if it be the first time he beheld the ocean, callous indeed must be his feelings if he do not confess the delightful and impressive effect of the sudden burst upon his vision of a rare combination of the sublime and the beauti ful, in shore and marine seenery. Some miles to the north east entrance is a large outward indenture of the coast, called " Mat-Bay;" and if the appellation be derived from the Latin, it is felicitously chosen, inasmuch as it is scarcely possible to conceive in the science of " world making," a locality more replete with danger, in steep and lofty walls, shoals, cliffs, treacherous embayments, and is land of ob durate rock—" bad" enough, in every respect for the mariner, to whom it must, in becoming a lee shore in the frequent storms that beset it, become almost inevi tably fatal. The small interior bay ci which the travel ler obtains a full and instantaneous view is called Moore-bay. It faces the north, and is protected considerably from the open sea by -a rocky point or promontory, forming its western boundary. It is in the regular form of an elongated horse shoe, and has a fine white and smooth sandy beach, gently sloping, and admirably adapted for bathing. Round the south curve of this bay, and forming a complete semicircle or crescent near the water's edge, stands what may be called in the " court" pt of the village "Marine Parade," consisting principally of neat two-story cottages, mostly whitewashed, and of a homely, but neat and lively appearance. A number of these are the favourite lodging-houses during the summer months, and are let to families or individuals at astonishingly low rents. The sea during gales is thrown into the bay in huge and foaming sheets ' • and in moderate weath e r ( as w h en I beheld it) breaks round its whole extent in one simultane ous and continuous semicircular wave, with a gentle and soothing noise—gratifying and refreshing at once to the eye and the ear. We alighted at " the Post-office," (which is also a small inn,) on the west side of the bay, and without waiting for any refreshment, strolled round the protecting promontory just noticed, along the bold and remarkable shore on its out ward side, to view, as far as our limited time would permit, the natural and striking wonders of Kilkee—at first by a car riage -road round the point, afterwards alternately by the stony beach and the immense irregular ledges of rock above it, as we found requisite for a drier and safer footing, and finally along the brink of precipitous indented and naked rocks or cliffs, covered to their edges with a close springy sward, and increasing in height and fantastic formation as we advanced to the southward. At every step new objects of curiosity and wonder presented themselves to our astonished view. The breeze had considerably moderated ; and though the atmosphere was but moderately clear, an immense expanse Of ocean was extended before us, in sombre majesty, un whitened by a sail. The steady gaze upon the wide expanse, t.•rminating in the impenetrable haze which blended sea and sky, and to which fancy, fur the moment, lent additional ant immeasurable distance, was as the futile ant tious attempt of snorts en to penetrate into " 'read space." But the proximate objects and appearances .n this strange locality claimed even a deeper and more en during attention. The water is here of a light blue tint, with a tinge approaching to that of bright green of the emerald, and so bfoiutifully clear that the bottom may be dis tinctly seen to a considerable depth when the surface is qui escent, or rises only in unbroken swells. At one point the rocks of Duganna, a dangerous reef, partly uncovered when the tide is down, stretch out to the we3tward, in treacherous irregularity, their jagged tops, now seen, and anon whelmed beneath the surge. The waves rolled carelessly against the rug gedand diversified shore, breaking alternately at various points, now climbing the stony or shelving beach, and now butfetting the walling rocks, their rushing din prolonged amidst the bays and cavernous recesses along their precipitous sides; and this w.o pr three years PacK, liate week r pkirmishes in , after many mterm kingdom.

CAREENING A SHIP wlrn Poexsn INDULGENCES. — In the year 1709, the privateers of Bristol captured a Spanish galleon, on board of which were found five hundred bales of indulgences, which, containing 16 reams to a bale, were computed to amount to 3,840,000 indulgences. These were, to be imposed upon the people, and were to be sold, the lowest at 3 raels, (a little more than:2o pence,) but others at 50 pieces of eight, (about £8 sterling) ; and ,Captain Dampier informed Bishop Burnet, who has recorded the faat, that there was such a vast quantity of these indulgences that the seamen careened their ships with them.— Church of England Quarterly. THE RECENT MURDER NEAR CHIRK.—On the evening the murder, Emma Evans (who was to have been married on Christmas Day) shut her shop door, as sbe usually did at nightfall, but left the house door open, as she expected a visit from her intended husband. She had been smoking a pipe of tobacco, but a short time before an entrance had been effected by the murderers she had laid the pipe aside. It appears that one of the murderers, on secretly entering the house, had struck the deceased a violent blow on the back of the head, which felled her to the earth, and two other blows were then inflicted on the fore part of her hear. The unfor tunate woman still struggled, and one of the murderers, hav ing placed his knee upon her face, a knife was drawn across her throat, which terminated her existence. A kick from one of the assassins dislodged some of the deceased's teeth, one of which was driven through her upper lip, and left the mark which was supposed to have been made by the tobacco pipe, and induced the belief that she had been murdered while do zing quietly in her chair. The public will have satisfaction in knowing that both the unhappy prisoners are truly peni tent, and await with the greatest contrition the decision of their fate at the coming assizes.--Shropshire paper. THE CONVICT DELAHUNT. — ThiS murder of the boy Ma guire, received the last sentence of the law on Saturday last. He is to be hung on the sth of February. In the course of Saturday evening, on the governor taking his customary round of inspection, and visiting Delahunt's cell, the con vict, on Mr. Allison making some casual remarks on his situation, entered freely into conversation with him. The following is substantially what took place. As to the truth of the prisoner's allegations the reader will readily judge. He admitted that he had taken the, knife produced on his trial out of his sister-in-law's house, but he denied having himself perpetrated the murder. It was, he said, committed by a man named Doyle and a prostitute, in whose company he (Delahunt) met him the sarne.day. He had some know ledge of Doyle previously, but he had 'never seen the female before. To a question as to how he came to know the mur dered child, he answered, " 0, I did not take away the child at all." The governor remarked to him that it appeared strange how he should have been seen with the child in so many different parts of the city just before the murder, and no other person in their company. Delahunt admitted that the circumstance did appear rather strange, but that it hap pened in consequence of his companions being too cunning for him, and therefore they kept at a distance of fifty or one hundred yards behind him while he was taking the child about the town. He was then asked what could be the mo tive to commit the shocking crime ? He replied that it was for the purpose of being taken care of in the Lower Castle yard, arid maintained there until admitted to prosecute some person to be charged with the commission of the offence. He denied that it was by his hand the murder was committed —it was by the man and woman ; the latter having cut the boy's throat. Being questioned as to how long he had been making up the horrible business with these people, he said he had merely met with them by accident in the neighbour hood where the child was playing al the evening he was mur dered, and but a short time before he was taken away. They told him what they were going to do ; asked him would he join them, and he consented to do so ; until that he knew nothing whatever about the matter, and he only took the child on before them, and into the lane where they murdered him. The governor asked him why, if he had :no nrevious knowledge of what was about to be done, did he take away the knife so long before from his mother's house ?, The pri soner admitted he had taken the knife, but he could not ac count for his doing so.—Dublin Evening Packet. " BENEFIT" SOCIETIES AGAIN.—On Wednesday last, Francis Forbes, John Meek, and William Jefferies, were committed by the Stourbridge magistrates, to take their trial at our next assizes, for being jointly concerned in uttering a cheque of £2OO upon the Stourbridge and Kidderminster bank, with the view of defrauding the " Traveller's Hest" Lodge of Oddfellows, on the 27th ultimo. Jefferies was ad mitted to bail on finding two sureties in £l5O each, and en tering into his own recognizances of £3OO ; Meek and Forbes not being able to find sureties, have been brought to Wor cester gaol. It seems, from the evidence, that the prisoner Meek having ' n'ot possession of the common seal of the lod g e, together with Forbes and Jefferies, proceeded to the bank, Jefferies forging the name of William Smith to the cheque, and Meek and Forbes falsely pretending that they were office bearers of the lodge. No suspi c io n of the fraud was enter tained till Thursday last, when it was discovered that the money had been withdrawn, and that Meek and Forbes had fled. They were traced to Liverpool, apprehended there, and a trifle more than the amount stolen was found on the person of Meek's wife, who with her two children bad ac companied them. The facts were proved by the eashier of the hank ; Edward Nash, secretary of the lodge ; Davies and Williams, stewards ; and Bowles, the publican at whose house it meets. The defence was the flagitious one used by the miscalled benefit club meeting at the Dolphin, in Copen hagen -street, of this city, in poor Wixon's case—" That as the society was not enrolled, it could not be made out; and that Meek, being a member, had as much right as any other to draw the money ; that he could appoint, and in fact did appoint, Forbes to assist him in receiving it ! As the lodge was no more than a corpo..ation 'self-constituted , they could not indict any person for felony, so no fraud could on their part be proved against the prisoners." This case strongly illustrates the caution we lately held out to provident per sons, about to join benefit societies,' to inquire whether they were duly enrolled under the n ew a ct ; for it is clear, by th e circumstances above recited, that unless these societies take shelter under the act, their members, individually and col lectively, will be subject to egregious villany and fraud. - - SHIPWRECK OF A BELFAST VESSEL., AND Loss OF ALL ON BOARD.—We are sorry to announce the loss of the schooner Montagnaise, Wilson, m aster, at Tory Island, on the night of the 7th instant, on which occasion all on board perished. The Montagnaise was the property of Mr. Hugh Casement, of this town, and was 49 tons register. The fol lowing letter has been forwarded to the Collector and Comp troller of Customs, Derry : " hanisbofin, Coast Guard Station,llth January, 1842, two o'clock. p.m " GENTLEMEN,-11;;e—this Moment received a letter from the light-keeper of Tory Wand lighthouse, which states that some time in the night of Friday last, the 7th instant, a schooner, called the Montagnaise, of Belfast, Major Wil son, mastor, loaded with barley, hides, and tallow, was wrecked on the south. west point of that island, and, melan. choly to relate, all bands drowned. She lies bottom up, and a great deal of the cargo has been secured by the islanders, and part has bee n t a k en up t o the light-keeper. Th ere h as not been any communication with Tory Island for some time past. The sea was so much agitated, and a heavy surf on the coast that the man who brought out the letter was obliged to land in a curragh, or skin-boat. I shall go into island the very moment it can be done with any degree of safety.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, 16 J. WGLADERY, Lieut., R.N." —Ulster Times. SHIRTS MADE FOR THREE FARTHINGS A PIECE.—The competition in the slop business is almost as ruinous to a nu merous and industrous class of females at the east end of the metropolis, who managed to support themselves decently by their needle. A few years ago, when shirt making was redu ced to three shillings a dozen, it was considered so low a price, that it was impossible to make a bare existence at it. Yet, from that price it became gradually reduced, and many of the large Jew slopsellers at present pay but ninepence a dozen, or three fathings each shirt. for them. If three shil lings was a price at which these poor women could make a mere existence, what must be the effect of the present allow ance ? and yet thousands are to be found even glad to get such work ; but it is only those who can get a number of girls, who have some other means of support, to work for them at shirt-making, that can earn bread at it.—Chelten ham Journal. SALE OF INDULGENCES FOR TREASONABLE PURPOSES. —That indulgences have beer: sold in Ireland, and the pro ceeds thereof applied in AID or REBELLION against the law ful sovereign of Great Britain and Ireland, the following anecdote ' from the history of the sister island, will sufficiently attest :—From the evidence communicated before a commit tee of the Irish parliament, by Father John Hennesey, it appears that his Holiness, Pope Benedict XIII., in compli ance with the request of the Romish archbishops and bishops in Ireland (who had conspired, with others of the Romish communion, to exterminate King George 11. and the royal family, and to place a Popish pretender on the throne), issued his bull to facilitate their pious intention, and sent them an indulgence for ten years, in order to raise a sum of money, to be speedily applied to restore the person calling himself James 111. to his pretended right. This bull further enjoined " that every communicant, confessing and receiving upon the patron days of every respective parish, and on any Sunday from the first of May to September, having repeated the Lord's Prayer five times, and once the Apostles' Creed, upon paying twopence each time, was to have a PLENARY INDUL GENCE FOR HIS SINS." Under this holy bull, it appears that the sum of fifteen hundred pounds sterling was ready for be remitted to the pretender's agents in Flanders, at the time the treasonable conspiracy was detected by the vigilance of the Irish government.—(See the Journals of the House of Commons of Ireland, vol. iv., part ii., Appendix, pp. xlvi., xlvii. Proceedings on 19th Dec.: 1733, fol.)—From the Church of England Quarterlii. BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 18.—A murder of an atrocious cha racter has been perpetrated in Birmingham within the last week or ten days, which has created great excitement there. The unfortunate victim of this tragical occurrence was the wife of a man named Ezra Steapenhill, a house-painter, who lived in Heneage-street, and who enjoyed the reputation of being a steady, and even " serious" character, on which ac count, as well as the respectability of his connections, he had been appointed to the office of beadle of St. Matthew's Church, at Ashted, in the neighbourhood of which he re. sided. It appears, however, that Steapenhill had treated his wife (a young and interesting looking woman, to whom he. had been married only two years) with systematic unkind ness and brutality, having, on more than one occasion, threatened to shoot her. This threat he put into execution on the night of Friday wed(' the 7th instant, but in st,ch a manner as to lead to the impression at the time that the death of his unfortunate wife was the result of accident. On the above evening, while engaged cleaning a gun, on a table at which his wife was working, the piece was discharged, and the contents lodged in the breast of the unhappy woman, who fell dead at his feet. The only person Present at the time of this dreadful occurrence was Steapenhill's appren tice, a lad about 14 years of age, who gave two different accounts of the transaction ; but no suspicion existed at the time that the unfortunate woman had come unfairly by her death. On the occurrence, however, becoming generally known, a variety of circumstances were brought to light which led to a different conclusion, and Steapenhill was taken into custody to await the coroner's inquest. The inquiry occupied altogether thirty-nine hours, and twenty-four wit nesses were examined. In the course of the inquiry the confidence of the prisoner seemed to have forsaken him. He became painfully depressed, and generally sat with his face buried in his hands, with his elbows leaning on the table, evincing but little consciousness of what was going forward. He was respectably dressed in black, with black kid gloves, and generally kept his face hid iu his pocket handkerchief. The evidence of the surgeon was very unfavourable to the prisoner's account of the affair. The prisoner said he was cleaning a gun, which lay on a round table, by the side of which the deceased sat sewing. The discharge entered her eaest, making a wound of an inch and a half in diameter, internally wounding and lodging a splinter of bone in the coats of the heart, and fracturing the ,third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth ribs. Dr. Daemt, surgeon of the Sixth Enniskillen Dragoons, said it was a literal impossibility for such a wound and its consequences to be produced by a gun if held in the position d escr i bed by, t h e pr i s o n er 'a ap prentice, when that person wa s c l ean ing the gun. The supposition therefore is, that the prisoner must have altered its position for some reason. The coroner summed up at great length, and the jury, at half-past nine o'clock, re turned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Ezra Steapen hill." The prisoner, on hearing the sentence, seemed greatly distressed, and covered his face with his hands. .I<Uttt toot, rya r tlw porter et the powdOmagtigine pf Maraegtea was _ ;id by an eigOosiou. It wfte one story high, and was completely knocked to peiees by the force only six pounds of powder, which became accidentally ignited within it. Mos fortunately no injury was done to the central magazine, which was close at hand, but detached, or otherwise the consequence might have been more disastrous. The wife and daughter of the porter were so severely injured that their lives are des paired of. It appears, contrary to the rule prescribed to him he had allowed his wile and daughter to aid him in taking pow der out of the magazine, and that these females were impru dently making up the powder into packets while they had chaufferettes under their feet. Some of the powder falling upon one of the chaufferetes caused the czplosion.—Ga limumi's Messenger. M tias CIRCASSIA.—I have got some details about Circassia at last. A great battle was in reality fought between the moun taineers and the Russians in the middle of October. It com menced in the pass of flamish, only about six miles from the castle of Sotcha. The Russians had about 8,000 Georgian and Mingrelian cavalry, with 10,000 or 12,000 of their infan try. The former led the van, and were attacked in the pass so vigorously that they were put completely to the rout. They fell back upon the infantry, to whom their own panic was communicated, and the whole flying en masse to the coast hotly pursued by their victors. The slaughter was dreadful. no less than 3,500 of the Russian party being left dead on the field. Some escaped to the ships, which, 49 in number, were lying within gunshot of the shore ; others were drowned in an attempt to swim off ; and the rest of the survivors made good their retreat in dreadful confusion to Sotcha, were they col lected, and intrenched themselves. Few prisoners were made, for the Circassians, being less than 6,000 in number, could not embarrass themselves with such an incumbrance, and put to the sword nearly all such of the enemy as fell into their hands. All the horses, and an immense quantity of arms and baggage, were the booty of the heroic mountain eers, whose loss did not, according to their accounts, exceed 450 men bars de combat. After this defeat the Russians sued for peace, and got for answer that the Circassians would make peace if the Russians would first evacuate the fortresses on the coast. But they would not treat without intervention. They proposed that after the evacuation a delegate from the Russian General and another from the Circassians should be sent to Constantinople, where a treaty should be made with the concurrence, and under the guarantee, of the Porte and the great European Powers. This proposal not meeting with the approbation of the Russians, they, after remaining before Sotcha about 20 days, embarked in their ships, and sailed away, leaving the accustomed garrison in that place. The Circassians intend to attack all the castles on the coast (Anafa excepted) during the winter. The harvest having been fine, they have abundance of food for man and beast, and expect to be very successful, since last winter, though suffering severely from the dearth of provisions, they managed to sack five castles. The Russians, therefore, in Circassia, do not . recline on beds of roses. The Euiopean Powers ought by all means to interfere to stop the useless and demoralizing effusion of blood.—Malta Times. 41)tpping intellignut TUESDAY, JANUARY 18.—W1nd N.W ARRIVED.—Lady Combermere, Midgley, from Bonny—Old Tom, from Ancona—Grange, , from Genoa—Sally, --, from Lisbon— of Dartmouth, from Newfoundland—Maggie Lauder, from Sligo—Bridget, from Cork—Alexander, M'lntyre, from Londonderry—Edwin, O'Neil, from Newry—Hope, Scott, fin Strangford—Page, Grant, from Woodbridge—Susan and Isabella, from Dundee.

There was a fair demand this day for Wheat and Barley, at tl currency of last week, and Oats.were a shade higher. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 18 A quieter market to-day,. with less demand and business doing, as is usually the case on Tuesdays. The business is estimated at 1500 bales of all deseriptions of Cotton, at yes terday's prices. COTTON MARKET, JANUARY The somewhat subdued tone of our market noticed in our last circular has been manifest throughout the last few days, and though we cannot quote a decided decline in prices, yet buyers have an advantage this week in the way of choice. New Cotton is getting more into favour, but the quality of the Bowed is not equal to the earlier import. One house has been very active in buying up all the Maranhams that could be had cheap, and this description of Cotton having for some time been neglected, it is relatively with Pernam cheap Cotton.. .Sprats are without change. The quantity sold yesterday was 2500 and to.day 3000 bales. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 19. The show of Beasts to-day was not so good as that of last week, but the quality, however, was fair, and prices about the same as last week. Of Sheep the show was rather large, and rather better to buy. Most of the Cattle sold up, but the number of Sheep left was considerable. nest Beef 6id to 63d, middling 52d to 6ici ; best Wether Mutton 6jd to 7d, Ewes, &c., 6d to 6id. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALLOW MARKET, JAN. 19. Short-horned Hides sold this day at 12s each ; Hides 60lb to 721bs 3d per lh, 721bs and upwards aid per lb; large sl;in (Irish and Yorkshire) 4s to 5s 6d ; Cheviots and half-bred 3s to 4s tid ; Scotch 2s to as. Tallow 5s per stone of i albs. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, JAN. 19 We have to report a continuance of the dullness which has pre vailed during the past three weeks-in the Wheat trade, and sales can only be made by acceding to a reduction in price, but on best samples the decline this week does not exceed Is per quarter. Malting Barley, Oats, and Beans are taken slowly at our former rates. HULL CORN MARKET, JAN. 18 For to-day's market there was a less supply of Wheat from the farmers than usual, and all good conditioned qualities were held firmly; last week's prices have been paid by the millers on their to day's purchases, and in some instances a trifling advance has been made ; secondary qualities are in very limited demand ; old foreign continues neglected, and prices nominal. A good supply of Oats, which were taken at last week's rates. The fine runs of malting Barley are taken by the malsters at late prices ; but all qualities below this description continue bad to sell, although lower prices would be submitted to. Beans and Peas without alteration, either in value or demand. BELFAST CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 17 The supply of farmers' Wheat has been moderate, and meeting a steady demand at former rates, whilst for cargoes and parcels, ex-store, of Irish Wheat there is very little demand. but in prices no change can be noted. Foreign Wheat, likewise, in very limited demand, but holders are not inclined to offer it cn lower terms. Flour.—Some of our millers have reduced Flour 6d per cwt., and the demand tontines steady. Barley is in limited request at former rates. Malt Itss to 30$ per barrel, with tem sales. Oats at our farmers' market command former rates, but iq cargoes of canal Oats almost nothing passing. Oatmeal in rather short supply, and prices, in consequence, have advanced about 3d per cwt. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 17 The supply of Wheat by land carriage samples continues moderate, and the condition was worse this morning than it has hitherto been; the best parcels were taken at is decline, but the cold and inferior qualities were difficult of sale, at fully 2s reduction from this day se'nnight. The sale of foreign has been limited, but last week's currency was maintained; there is still some inquiry for bonded Wheat, withotkt much business being transacted. The quantity of fine malting Barley was short this morning, and last week's prices were readily maintained, but ordinary quality is much neglected. Peas of an sorts are Is lower, and Beans are unaltered in value. The Oat trade remains in much the same state. WEDNNSDAY, JAIL 19 The supplies are small this morning of every description of grain. but there is no animation whatever in the trade, and all the prices are nominally the same as on Monday last. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 17 The supply of Beasts here to-day being less than that exhibited on kl• nday last, and the attendance of both London and country buyers somewhat numerous, the Beef trade was renovated, and the primest Scots, Devons, runts, and Herefords, were readily taken off at an advance of about 2d per Sibs, but in other qualities no variation was noticed. At the market's close, nearly or quite, the whole of the beasts were disposed of. The numbers of Sheep were, on the whole, extensive, while the sale for them was heavy, and the Bents, Kentish half.breds, and Leicesters were certainly lower, though not to any extent. The highest figure for• the half bred was 4s ticl per 81b, and this was not obtained without con siderable difficulty. Very few Calves were offering, and higher prices were realised for them. Pigs were in brisk inquiry, at their quotations. The receipts of both Beasts and Sheep from Scotland were small. By the quantities of Bibs, sinking the offal LIVERPOOL HAS" AND POTATOE MARKET, January 19. There is a fair extent of Potatoes to hand during the week, both from the Isle of Man, Scotland, and Ireland. The currant prices of Potatoes has undergone no material alteration since my last re port. The market is very firm, with an improved and extended demand both from our town and country dealers. The trade altogether now wears a very healthy aspect, with every appearance of a gradual and permanent improvement. Manx, Scotch, and Irish Cups 2s Id to 2s ad; round, rough, and flat reds, 2s 3d to 25 6d ; seedlings 2s 4d to as 84 per golb. Our . neighbouring farmers bring their stocks of Potatoes very freely to market, for which there is a brisk demand, at a slight reduction from the current rates of Saturday.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 18 Upon a change of wind and the disappearance of frost, we have to report since the close of last week several fu,ther ar rivals of Foreign Wheat, which are being placed in bond ; a few more parcels of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, are also in Coastwise and front Ireland, which, added to those stated on Friday, are inserted below. . , Our market this morning was tolerably well attended by home and country millers, who continued, however, to exer cise the same degree of caution and forbearance as we have latterly had occasion to notice ; all descriptions of Wheat, therefore, were in vei y limited demand, prime qualities scarcely supporting the rates of this day week, whilst the secondary and inferior runs, in several instances, declined in value Id. to 2d. per 701b.—English, Irish, and Foreign duty paid Flour, commanding very little attention, the two former kinds were ls. per sack, and the latter Gd. per barrel cheaper. Barley, Malt, and Pease remained in the same dull state as on Friday. The low sales of Beans last week induced some inquiries to-day, but the holders again generally re quiring the prices of 'Tuesday last, few sales were effected. Oat; being scarce, maintained our last quotations, at which little business was transaced. Oatmeal, continuing to attract the notice of speculative buyers, a few thousand sacks have changed hands within the last few days at 275. 9cl. to 283. per 2401b5. for the best marks of Irish ; the dealers at the same time purchasing very spa ringly.
