i Vottrp. ODE TO THE FERN ISLANDS, INSCRIBED TO GRACE HORSLEY DARLING. BY THU HON. H. T. LIDDEI L, M.P. Black Isles! where piety in ancient days Her altar founded on the sea-beat share, And white-robed monks sang their Creator's praise Amid the tempest's whirl, and billow's roar! What though no inure that desolated space Shill ring with loud Hosannas to the Lord, And sea-fowl nestle in the sacred place Where one the sacramental cup was poured; Yet still upon your rugged beach their stands Au holy temple undefiled, nut made with bands. Nor fashioned by the builder's rule and square, Nor reared as earthly fanes with stone and lime, ur a fair fraThirf though mortal) that Both bear The' Aimiahly's impress on her brow sublime! For as the •virgiu Una undismayed Met the grim lion in the lonely wood, And brought the lordly savage to her aid, Tamed by the dignity of maidenhood, Who sheathed his claws, and lulled his roarings wild, Anil crouching at her feet, lay quiet as a child: So did she, moved by gentle pity, feel, A more than mortal courage moan her breast, Nor feared to navigate her fragile keel Where eddying breakers reared their snowy crest; And demons rode upon the midnight storm Bursting in thunder on the fatal rock, Where clung for refuge many a shrieking form, Their vessel shivered by the ghastly shock, Which plunged at once into eternal sleep Their late companions whehnecl beneath the surging deep. In that dark hour of danger and despair When winds and waters strove with sea and sky, She only heard the drowning wretches' prayer; She only saw their helpless agony— And guided by an arm unseen, a Power That bids the storm be still, and rules the wave, She succour brought to those who deemed the hour Of fate inevitable at hand, and gave New life, new hope, where Death triumphant stood, And clutched his trembling prey, and drank his victim's blood, Oh noble effort ! deed of deathless fame! From which the strength of man had shrunk appalled, - But that in woman's heart there burnt a flame By mercy fired, by prudence unenthralled, The flame of charily, of faith, and love, That lights to deeds illustrious the way, Sent by the Holy Spirit from above To sublimate our grosser part of clay— And still in godlike bosoms love to dwell, , Like ancient Vesta's fire, unquenched, unquenchable. Honour to thee, fair maid! for never more Shall pilgrim hear St. Cuthbert's island surge ; And pause upon the metaucholy shore That rings its victims' everlasting dirge, But memory's power shall bring before his eyes The horrors of that agonizing night, And to creative fancy shall arise That form heroic, with her pinnace Who dared, amid a thousand perils, save Her helpless fellow-men from an untimely grave. Honour to thee and happiness, fair maid! May each succeeding year from hence be fraught With blessings due to services unpaid, Save by the weed of Conscience, and the thought That thou a chosen vessel of the Lord, Redeemed and sanctified by Christ His Son, May'st reap in other realms a rich reward, Approved thro' faith, by works already done! Receive this humble tribute—not disdain A harp that long hath s l ept. and ne'er may wake again. • Vide Spencer's beautiful Allegory in canto 3 of "The Fairy Queen." THE AUTUMN LEAF. Dissevered from its parent stem The Autumn leaf is falling, The memories of former days And brighter hues recalling: Ab, happy if the wanderer lone May tuu.e on life as brief, And baste its errors to atone, .Warned by the Autumn leaf. Last Spring it was a verdant gem The sunbeam seemed to bless; And now it falls a slighted thing, Devoid of one caress. Muse on it, stranger—call to mind A deeper source of grief;— Oh think on those among mankind Gone!—like the Autumn leaf. Think on full many a happy home Thou in thy course bast seen, O'er which dark change on change has come Since this same leaf was green : The cheerful voice—love beaming eye, Allowed no thoughts of grief;— Yet sorrow was e'eu the more nigh Than shades upon this leaf. Then gaze upon its shrivelled form, Which lies not there in vain, If it awake one thought which may Life's heedless course restrain; Gaze till the tear bedews the cheek At thinking life so brief, Thlt thou may'st alter, fate, and fall, Just like the Autumn leaf. SELECT EXTRACTS. MANIAQUA IDEA OF THE SUN.—The sun, by some of the people of this benight e d l a nd, i s considered to be a mass of fat, which descends nightly to the sea, where it is laid hold of by the chief of a white man's ship, who cuts a portion of tallow off it, anti giving it a kick, it bounds away, sinks under the wave, goes round below, and then comes up again in the east next morning, its fat having again groan.—Sir James Alexander's Expedition of Discovery into Africa. A FRIGHTENED LION.—A Buschman was, on one occa sion, following a troop of zebras, and had just succeeded in wounding one with his arriws, when a lion sprang out from a thicket opposite, and showed every inclination to dispute the prize with him. The Buschman, being near a con veni ant tree, threw down his arm•, and climbed for safety to an upper branch. The lien , allowing the wounded zebra to pass on, now turned his whole attention towards the Bosch man, and walking round and round the tree, he ever and anon growled and looked up at the Buschman. At length the lion lay down at the foot of the tree, and kept watch all night. Towards morning, sleep overcame the hitherto wake ful Boschman, and he dreamt that he had fallen into the lion's mouth: starting from the effects of his dream, he lost his seat, and falling front the branch. he alighted heavily on the lion, on which the monster, thus unexpectedly saluted, ran off with a loud roar; and the Boschman, also taking to his heels in a different direction returtied in safety to "his anxious parents." —Sir James .-aexander's Expedition of Dis covery into Africa. HONEY TAKEE.—A large swarm of bees had fixed their abode on the ceiling of a verandah, and in due time, when their honey was deposited, we wished to collect it, but were for some time at a loss for the means. Hearing, however, that there was a gardener who possessed a peculiar art of doing it unhurt, he was sent for, and desired to bring down the honey. I watched him closely through the whole process, and was told by him, and believe, that he used no other pre caution than the following :—He took some of the plant called toolsy, and rubbed it over his body, face, arms, and hands; he then chewed a little, and held a sprig of it in his mouth. With no other than this apparently slight defence, he mounted a ladder, a large dish in one hand, and a sharp knife in the other • and though as thinly clad as his class usually are, with thousands of bees swanning about his naked body, he with the greatest sany-froid cut immediately through the upper part of the comb, where it was suspended to the roof, and, receiving the whole of it in his dish, brought it down, without havinq suffered from a single sting I—.lndian Reminiscences in the Bengal Moofussue. THE GOYEKNOR OF JERUSALEM.—The governor, as is the custom of governors in the East, and probably, as Pontius Pilate did in the time of our Saviour, sat in a large room, ready to receive anybody who had any complaint to make. His divan was a raised platform, as an iron camp bedstead, covered with rich Turkey rugs, and over them a most splen did lion skin. His face was noble, and his long black beard the finest I ever saw. A pair of large pistols and a Damascus sabre were lying by his side, and a rich fur cloak, thrown back over his shoulders, displayed a form that might have served as a model for a Fi et cules. Altogether he reminded me of Richard in his tent on the plains of Acre. At the mo ment of my entry he was breathing on a brilliant diamond, and I noticed on his finger an uncommonly beautiful emerald. Be received me with great politeness, and when I handed him the Pasha's finnan, witii a delicacy and courtesy I never saw surpassed, he return- i it to me unopened and unread, telling me that my dr-ss and apearance were sufficient re. commendation to toe best services in his power. If the reader would know what dress and appearance are a suffi cient recommendation to the Lest offices of a Turkish gover nor, I will merely mention that ha':ing thrown off, or rather having been stripped of, most of my Turkish dress at He bron, I stood before the governor in a red tart:ouch, with a long black silk tassel, a bine roundabout jacket, buttoned tip to the throat, grey pantaloons, boots splashed with mud, a red sash, a pair of large Turkish pistols, sword, and my Nu bian club in my hand; and the only decided mark of aristo cracy about me was my beard, which, though not so long as the governor's, far exceeded it in brilliancy ofcotnplexiun, — Stephen's Incidents of Travel. L&Nsxs.—Tschirnhausen constructed lenses four feet in diameter, one of which weighed 1601b5.; and produced power ful effects no bodies placed in its focus; wet wood kindled in au instant, water in small vessels boiled, the metals were melted, and tiles, slate, pumice, &c., were vitrified. Bei.- 'sieves made a lens winch consisted of two glasses in shape, which were plated edge to edke, so as to enclose a hollow ca vity between them. This cavity, which was 5 ft. in diameter, was filled with spirits of wine, by which a double convex fluid lens was formed. With this lens two farthings were melted in half a minute, a small piece of steel began to melt in two minutes, and small fragments of iron melted in a quarter of A minute. Mr. Parker, of Fleet-street, some years ago, con structed the most powerful burning lens hitherto known. It was made of flint-glass, and was about three feet in diameter. At a short distance behind it leas situated another lens, by . which the rays were converged into a still smaller and there fore more powerful focus. With this instrument ten grains of slate were incited in two seconds, of cast iron in three seconds, of steel in twelve seconds, of pumice stone in tweets - four seconds, and of flint in thirty seconds. A diamond of ten grains was reduced to six grains by exposure for thirty minutes in the focus of the lens! the gem opened, emitted white fumes, dosed again, Ana resumed nearly its original shape. this powerful instrument was sent to China for want of an English purchaser. The great difficulty of procuring such large pieces or flint glass has induced Sir David Brewster to propose that burning glasses should be buia up of several pieces, each piece being so curved as to contribute t o the generel localizing effect. The same philosopher has also proposed to combine reflection from mirrors with transmission through lenses, in order to produce a powerful combined effect. The rays which fall near the margin of a lens add but little to the heating power of the focus, on account ot the abl;qinty with whin h thee fall on the lens. Sir David Brewster therefore suggests 'that a number of small lenses should be fitted into the surface of a hollow sphere. SO as to unite all their foci at its centre. The apparatus must be so placed that the sun's rays ‘aill pass directly through one or the small lenses; while those rays which pass thro ugh the other lenses will first be reflected from mirrors properly placed round the sphere ; so that the whole of the rats will pass through the various lenses in directions at right angles to the diameters, and therefore in the insist favourable direc tion for producing a powerful focalize(' effect. All the effects produced by these burning mirrors, lenses, &c. are derived from the employment of solar light. If the light of a fire or candle be employed, the effects are far less intense. But it is a very remarkable circumstance, that the rays froth the moon produce not the smallest heating effect. Mr. Parker's leas was exposed to brilliant moon-light, and a delicate ther mometer was placed in its focus ; but not the slightest ele -aation temperatu-e was indicated. We know that the moon's light consists of the solar says which are reflected from her surface; but it appears as if the heat combined v its the sun's rays was stifled or absorbed, ei'her at the ?noun's rarfate or in the aerial medium through ishith they have to Pilllik-rrevabt Magoint, The sensitive mind discovers poetry everywhere. As it is touched with whatever is affecting in the chances of life, so does it taste whatever is picturesque in the objects of nature. All that is majestic and lovely here is to it a source of delight, and helps it to form a more just conception of Him who is the author of so much beauty. It is thus that in the images of earth may be recognized the tokens of eternity,—in the canopy of heaven, and the expanse of the ocean,— la the setting glories of the sun, and the melting colours of the rain bow,—visions and emblems of a brighter world.--.llrs. John Sanford. MENAI BRIDGE ECLIPSED.—The suspenson bridge at Freyburgh, the longest in the world, was completed and thrown open in Int The engineer who conducted it is M. (Maley, of Lyons. Its dimensions, compared with those ut ►Menai Bridge, are as follow : Length. Elevation. Breadth. Freyburg, 9. 5 ft. 174 t't. 28 tt. Iklenai 5BO 1:30 15 . . It is supported on four cables of iron wire, each containinL; 1,056 wiles, the united strength of which is capable of sup • bolting three times the weight which the bridge will ever be likely to bear, or three times the weight of two rows of wag gons, extending entirely across it. The cables enter the ground on each side obliquely for a considerable distance, And are then carried down vertical shafts cut in the rock, and filled with masonry, through which they pass, being attached at the extremity, to enormous blocks of stone. The materi als of which it is composed are almost exclusively Swiss : the iron came from Berne, the limestone masonry from the qua ries of the Jura, the woodwork from the forest of Freynurg ; the workmen were, with the *exception of one man. natives who had never seen such a bridge before. It was completed iu three years. at an expense of about 600,000 frs. (1:25,000 sterling.)—Howt book Jro Switzerlaud. ONE of THE CAI SkS of THE SEPARATION OF ENGLAND FROM THE CHURCH OF RoME.—The schism between Eng land and Rome, which commenced in the reign of Henry VIII. was rendered irreconcileable by the irreverent beha viour of Sir Thomas Boleyn's dog to Pope Clement VII. Sir Thomas Boleyn, was the father to the celebrated Anne Boleyn, who was afterwards one of the queens of Henry VIII, hid been created Earl of Wiltshire by that monarch, and was at the head of the embassy appointed by him to argue the point of his divorce from Queen Catherine, before the council assembled at Bologna, in the presence of the Pope. The Pope, when he gave audience to the eats, required that he should acknowledge his supremacy by kissing his toe. This, the earl, being of the reformed religion, positively re fused to do, although it was a piece of homage which all the soverigns of Europe were accustomed to do, when admitted into the presence of the head of the papal church. While Clement, in a very high tone, was insisting on the propriety of the English earl submitting to this ceremony, and extend ing his toe significantly towards him at the same time, the earl's dog imagining, no doubt, that some signal insult was intended to his master by this gesture, sprang forward, and bit his holiness's toe; which provoked a general burst of laughter from all present, and was so highly resented by the Pope, that he refused to admit the earl to a second audience. The Earl of Wid-hire returned to England with his suite; and the separation of this country from the papal see took place in less than four hours after this ridiculous incident.— Fisher's Jurenite Scrap-book. DOG-EATING.—The feast [at Hawaii, in the Sandwich Islands] consisted of dogs, poultry, pigs, &c. Witted; that is, after bewg carefully wrapped in leaves of the ti plant, cooked by being buried amidst stones heated for the purpose. They were then served up with boiled taro tops, which are a good substitute for spinache. Meats cooked alter this manner have a slight taste of the it plant, and are very savoury. This mode of cooking fish, the mullet particularly, is preferable to any other that 1 have seen. The Hawaiians take great pains to have fine fi,b. They take them when small, and con vey them from the sea to a pond of salt water, where they are fed for several months; thence they are carried into brackish water, and finally introduced into fresh ponds, where they are carefully tended. Near my place at table was a fine young dog, Milled, the flesh of which was declared to be excellent by all who partook of it. To my palate, Its taste was what I imagine would result from mingling the flavour of pig and lamb, and I did not hesitate to make my dinner of it, in spite of some qualms at the first mouthful. I must confess, when 1 reflected that the puppy now trussed up before us might have been the affectionate and frolicsome companion of some Hawaiian fair, they all have pet pigs or puppies, I felt as if dog-eating were only a low grade of can nibalism. What ! eat poor Ponto ! " the poor dog, in his life :he firmest friend, The first to welcome, foremost to defend ; Whose , honest heart is still his master's own • Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone; Unhonour'd falls, unnoticed all his worth, Denied in heaven the soul he held on earth." However, the edible dug is not one of your common curs, but a dainty animal, fed exclusively on vegetables, chiefly taro, in the form of piie, and, at the age of two years, is con sidered a dish wherewith to regale royalty.—Ruschenberyer's Nan alive. CANAL TRAVELLING IN AMERICA.—The canal travelling in many parts of America is conducted with so little regard to the comfort of passengers as to render it a very objection able conveyance. The Americans place themselves entirely in the power and at the command of the captains of the ca nal boats, who often use little discretion or civility in giving their orders; and strangers who are unaccustomed to such usage, and would willingly rebel against their tyranny, are in such cases compelled to be guided by the majority of voices, and quietly submit to all that takes place, however disagreeable it may be. About eight o'clock in the evening, every one is turned out of the cabin by the captain and his crew, who are occupied for some tune after the cabin is cleared in suspending two rows of cots or hammocks from the ceiling, arranged in three tiers, one above another. At nine the whole company is ordered below, when the captain calls the names of the passengets from the way-bill, and at the same time assigns to each his bed, vrhilth must imineei ately be taken possession of by its rightful owner on pain of his being obliged to occupy a place on the floor, should the number of passengers exceed the number of beds—a circum stance of very common occurrence in that locomotive laud. I have spent several successive eights in this way, in a cabin only 40 feet long by 11 feet broad, with no less than 40 pas sengers; while the deafening chorus produced try the creak ing of the numberless bull-frogs that frequent the American swamps was so great as to render it often difficult to make one's self heard in conversation; an.l, of course, nearly im possible to sleep. The distribution of beds appear to be ge uerally regulated by the size of the passengers, those that are heaviest Dying placed in the berths next the floor.— The object of this arrangement is partly to ballast the boat properly, and partly, in the event of a breakdown, to render the consequence less disagreeable arid dangerous to the unhappy beings in the lower pens. At five ~'cluck in the morning, all hands are turned out in the same abrupt and discourteous style, and forced to remain on clerk in the cold morning air, while the hammocks are removed, and breakfast is in preparation. The interval is occupied to the duties of the toilette, which is not the least amusing part of the ar rangement. A tin vessel is placed at the stern of the boet, which every one washes and fills for his own use from the water of toe canal, with a gigantic spoon formed of the same metal. A towel, a brush, and a comb, intended for the ge neral service, hang at the cabin door, the use of which, how ever, is fortunately quite optional. The breakfast is served between six and seven o'clock, dinner at eleven, and tea at five. The American canal travelling certainly forms a great centres, to that of Holland and Belgium. The boat in which I was conveyed on the canal between Ghent and Bruges, fur example, was commodiously fitted up with separate state rooms, containing *one berth in each, and was, in other re spects, a most comfortable and agreeable conveyance. But 1 trust the reader will not form an estimate of American tre- Yelling from what has just been said, nor take this single specimen of it as a criterion of the whole. In the eastern and earlier settled districts of the country. no such g. ievances have to be suffered, and there are many hundreds of persons in that part of the United States who hardly believe iu their existence. e Sselong as the traveller keeps on tke east of the Alleghana{Mountains, all goes on smoothly; but if he at tempts to cross their summits, and penetrates into the " far west," be must look for treatment such as I have described. There is, indeed, as great a difference in this respect between the seaward and interior states of North America, as there is between the counties of Kent and Caithness.—Steeenson's Sketch of Civil Engineering in America. SuPEßsTlTiaus Blume or THE NIL:SLIMS IN DREAMS. — That dreams are reirerded by the Muslims as being often true warnings or indications of Inure events, I have men tioned in a former note. This belief sanctioned by tne pro phet will be well illustrated by the following anecdote, which was related to me in Cairo, shortly after the terrible plague of the year 1833, by the iheykh Mohammad Et-Tantawee, who had taken the trouble of investigating the fact, and hail ascertained its truth. A tradesman, living in the quarter of ElsElairafee, iu Cairo, dreamed, during the plague above mentioned, that eleven persons were earned out from his house to be buried, victims of this disease. He awoke in a state of the greatest distress and alarm, reflecting that eleven was the total number of the inhabitants of his house, inclu ding himself; and that it would be rain in him to attempt, by adding one or more members to his household, to elude tire decree of God, and give himself a chance of escape; so, calling together his neighbours, he informed them of his dream, and was counselled to submit with resignation to a fate so plainly foreshown, and to be thankful to God for the timely notice with which be had been mercifully favoured. On die following day, one of his children died; a day or two after, a wife; and the pestilence continued its ravages among his family until he remained in his house alone. It was im possible 'fur him now to entertain the slightest doubt of the entire accomplishment of the warning: immediately, there fore, after the last death that had taken place among his household, be repaired to a friend at a neighbouring shop, and, calling to him several other persons from the adjoining and opposite shops, he reminded them of his dream, ac quainted them with its almost complete fulfilment, and ex pressed his conviction that he, the eleventh, should very soon die. " Perhaps," said he. " I shall die this night : I beg of you, therefore, for God's sake, to come to my house early to-morrow morning, and the next wonting, and the next if necessary, and to see if I be dead, and, when dead, that I am properly buried; for I have no one with me to warn arid shroud me. Fail not to do me this service, which will procure you a recompense in heaven. I have bought my grasee!inen: you will find it in a corner of the room in which I sleep. If you find the door of the house latched, and I et, not answer to your knocking, break it open."— Soon after situset he laid himself in his lonely bed, though without any ev s ectation of closing his eyes in sleep ; fur his mind was absorbed in reflections upon the awful entry into aunt her world, and a review of his pest life. As the shades of night gathered around him, he could ahnost fancy that be beheld, in one faint object or another in his gloomy chamber, the dreadful person of the Angel of Death; and at length he au- Wally perceived a figure gliding in at the door, and appreaeh ing his bed. Starting up in horror, he exclaimed, " Who art thou ?"—and a stern and solemn voice answeterl, " Be silent! I am 'Azraeel, the Angel Death !"—" Alas!" cried the terrified man, " I testify that there is no deity but God, dud I testify that Mohamtnad is God's Apostle ! There is ne strength nor power but in God, the High! the Great! TO God we belong, and to Him we must return !"—He then covered himself over with his quilt, as if for protection, and lay with throbbing heart, expecting every moment to have his soul torn from him by the inexorable messenger. But moments passe I away, and minutes, and hours: vet without his experiencing, any helm of escape; for he imagined that the angel was waiting for him to resign himself, or teed left him for a while, and was occupied in receiving flea the souls of the many hundred human beings who attained their pre destined term in that settle night and itt the same city, and the souls of the thousands who were doomed to emp:oy him elsewhere. Daybreak arrived befere his sufferings tenni minated ; and his neighbours coming according to their pro mise, entered his chamber, and found him still in bed; but observing that he was covered up, and motionless as a cos pse, they doubted whether he were mill alive, and called to hint. He answered with a faint voice, " I am not yet dead ; but the Angel of Death came to me in the dusk of the evening, and I expect every moment his return, to take inv sett': therefore trouble me net, but see me washed and buried."— " But why," said his fi iends, " was the street door left un latched?"—" I latched it," tie answered, "but the Angel of Death may . have opened it." "And whit," they asked, the man in the court ?" Ile answered, " I know of no man in the court : perhaps the an ge l, who is waiti ng f o r I nv soul. has merle himself visible to Sou, arid been mistaken, in the twilight, for a man."—" He is a thi e f," th ey sa id , " w h o has gathered together every thing in the house that he could carry away, and has been struck by the plague while cluing so, and now lies dead in the. court, at the feet of the stairs. grasping in his hand a silver candlestick." The master of the house, after hearing this, paused for a moment, and then throwing off his quilt, exelaimed, '• Praise be to God, the Lord of ail creatures! net is the eleventh, and lam safe! Ni. doubt it was that rascal who came to me, and said that he was the Angel of Death. Praise be to God! praise be to God !"—This man survived the plague. and took pleasure in relating the above store. The thief had overheard his con versation with his neighbours, and, c. ming to his house in the dusk, hail put his shoulder to the wooden lock, and se e e r se rt the door, and displaced the lett h within.—.L2ne's Notes to his NEW rtesnelation, ofthi A ra bi an Nos,.

Curling and Fount;, of Limehiasse, who built the British Queen, have a steam vessel now upon the stocks of two thousand tons burden, beitig one hundred more than that of the noble ship just nam , d. The model has been materially varied; fur, though out so lone, she will be much wider.

Fever hart broken nut on board, and upwar.ts of 40 of the passengers hid died. When the latest accounts left (Jury 6), the ship was riding at quarantine. It would appear that Scotland is to be honoured with the visits of more than one member of the royal family this win ter. It has already been announced that the Duke of Cam bridge is coining to the moth; and it is now reported pretty confidently that the Duke of Sussex will also very soon pay us a visit.—Edinbur 9 /4 Paper.. POTATO CROP.—We are very sorry to say that the average crop of potatoes in the Fylde is not so good as was antici pated seine time ago; as a proof of which a fanner in this district who had six men getting up potatoes for him halt a day, in a field—a choice piece of ground—the quantity of potatoes did not fill two sacks.—Preston Pilot.

DI'NDEE AND ARBROATH RAILWAY.—We are glad to learn that the traffic along this line continues steadily to in crease, and already far exceeds what the most sanguine of its promoters had anticipated. On Saturday last, betwixt 5W and 6(Y) persons travelled on the railway, and during, the twelve da)s it has already been open, upwards of 401 X) pas sengers have availed themselves of it. So far as we have observed, all those who have made the experiment have been highly delighted with the Oil).— Dundee Courier. Fool' R ACE.— On Monday, a foot race was run on Newton Common, between bitellead, of Sialey, bridge, and Wild, of Bury, for £lOO aside, over the two mile course.

The Abingdon (Virginia) Statesman, says—" An unotiending free mulatto. named Yates, near that town, while riding home on horseback, was brutally shot down and killed by an old white man, named Marsh (since arrested), on a plea that Marsh, who was suffer ing from king's evil, imputed it to a spell, or charm, put upon him by Yates." - We have this day received intelligence of the wreck Of the Duke of Northumberland, Indtatnan, on her passage from Madras to this country, on the night of the 2.5 th of August, off Cape L'Aquillas. It seems doubtful front the locality and the season. if any of her cargo could have been preserved; but we rejoice to be enabled to add that the whole of the passengers and crew were saved. —United Service Gaz. THE SLAVE TRADE.—During the period of service of the Curlew on the coast of Africa, she lost no less than 36 of her crew, including five officers, and was for a length of time without any surgeon on board. She captured nine vessels, with 1600 slaves. Iler gallant commander, Captain Nor colt, is still suffering from the effects of the fever, and, dur ing the passage home, Mr. Alexander Rae, one of the chief merchants of Sierra Leone, died. WEDDING Da ys.--Of all the popular fallacies (and there are a great man', ) none is more fallacious than that which connects the idea of gaiety with a wedding day. lithe newts - - married couple be sincere in their affection to each other, and if they possess minis of the least susceptibility, the happiness of the moment will not assume a character of mirthfulness, but will be qualified by gra we and anxiols thoughts : the bride groom will meditate on the serious responsibility he has in cuired in a,suming the sole guardianship of the cherished bring he has just made his own; and the bride will ponder upon the important change in her position in. life, and Sorrow over her separation from those tender and loving hearts she has left artrind the parental hearth.— Capt.

CAUTION TO MEMBERS of FRIENDLY SoCIETIEs.— John Boardman a ppeared before the magistrates sit the petty ses sions, held at Wars ingtom, on Nlowl4y, to complain id being expelled from a friendly society, held in this t o ol), of which Gii4ling and Thomas Lomax were the stewards. The complainant hail ample reason to con cur i n th e t ru th of the adag:, which says—" Between too siools a man is in dan ger of falling to the ground." For a number of years he had been a member of the Warrington society, when, in au unlucky moment, he also entered his name as a member of another society, held at Sankey This was contrary to the provisions of the Warrington society, and the members re solved upon his expulsion. The magistrates recommended , that the complainant, h.aviug withdrawn from the. Sankey soci ety, should he re•admitted into - the Warrington Club. This suggestion the stewards said they would endeavour to carry kin effect, although it WO admitted there Wad no law locum.. pal them to do so; NORTHALLIERTON.—The men employed by Mr. Paxton,' the contractor for a section of the Great North of Eng tand Haiharry, near Northallerton, have, (luring the last month. removed the enormous quantity of 18,826 yards of soil and stone from the Castle Hill, and in addition to which, in the same period of time, upwards of 6000 yards have been removed from the foundations of the bridges now knitting near Northallerton all in Mr. Paxton's contract. On the summit of the great hmll , about a yard from the sur face, a deep well, or fountain, about a yard in diameter, has been discovered. The stone work is of exquisite workman ship, which has, no doubt, been for supply ing the fortress with water. From an inscription upon a monumental stone, (top up by the workmen in July last, this place appears to have been a station of the Tentir Cohort of the Sixth Human Legion. On the extensive plains which surround this an cient fortress, the English army, under the Earl of Surrey, on its march for Flodden Field, in the year 1513. were en camped; and to this camp, Henry Jenkins, who was then 12 3 ears of age, brought a horse load of arrows from Richmond. or Scorton, for the use of the said army. The.grand army under General Wade, on its march for the North, in the re bellio❑ of 1745, were also encamped on the same grounds fur some days —Leeds Intelligencen FRAUD ON THE GRANDJUNCTION 'RAILWAY COMPANY.- 011 hursday a respectable farmer, filling the situation of steward to a gentleman residing between the Crewe and Hartford stations on the Grand Junction Railway, was sill,- moned before the Rev. Thomas Brooke and the Rev. R. 11. Gritton, the magistrates assembled in petty sessions at Nam w ich, to shew cause why he should not be convicted in the pena:ty of £2. for travelling a greaten distance in the company's carriage than for wnich he had paid the legal fate. The defendant admitted the charge, and accounted for having committed the offence, by mann that he had ex pected a friend to have walked home with hint from the Hart ford station, and atierwaids finding his friend was provided with a hot se, lie inadvertently, and without imagining that he was committing any offence, rode on to Alinshull Vernon, which, although some miles turther on the line, made his journey only one mile snorter than if he had got down at the end Ot the distance for which he had been booked. The magistrates convicted the defendant in the penalty of £l. and £l. 7s. costs. The chairman commented at some iength on the conduct of the defendant, who ought to have known better than commit such an offence. He believed that it had been done inadvertently, ami in. the manner described, or the bench would have inflicted the full penalty for unless they did so, it would not be justice to convict a poor man, going perhaps in search of work, who might, from poverty, be tempted to offend in a similar way. CONbERVATIVR DINNER AT WORSLEY.—On Thursday evening, there was a large assemblage of Conservatives at the house of Mr. Sutcliffe, the Bridgewater Hotel, Wursley. Corers were la.d in the large room for upwards of one hun dred gentlemen, and about one hundred and fifty sat down to a most sumptuous dinner.. The room was inoonveniently cioaded, so much so, that many gentlemen were compelled to dine in another apartment, and join the main body after dinner. Elias Chadwick, Esq.,.M.A., of Swinton Hall, oc cupied the chair. and was supported on his right and lett by the Right Hon. Lord F. Egel ton N.Y.; the Bev. Tho Mas Blackburne, ALA.; the Rev. Oswald Sergeant, M.A.,F.C.C.; the Rev: H. C. Clifton, M.A.; W.F. Hulton, Esq., Charles Wilkins, Esq., &c., &c. Mr. Fereday Smith occupied the vice-chair. Some very eloquent speeches were delivered by the chairman, Lord Francis Egerton. the lieu. O. Sergeant, Charles Wilkins, Esq., Mr. Feieday Smith, Mr. W. Harper, &c., &c., and the meeting passed off with the greatest bril liancy and harmony ; in fact, a meeting of such magnitude and importance never occurred in NVorslev before. It was our intention to have given a full report of the proceedings, but we regret to say, that the petson whom we sent there with that object has been suddenly and seriously indisposed, so that be has been totally unable to write out his uotes.—Man chester Courier. JONATHAN RIVALLED.—A recent number of Galignani's Alessenver contains the following " wonderful (if true)" story: The day before yesterday a long• file of chiffoniers attended the funeral of the senior chiffonier to the ceme tery of Mont Parnasse. This man, it is said, had married three wives, allot' whom were christened Franc 'lse, and had by each of them three children, and each of the wives died in the third year of wedlock. He has left three sons, each of whom was the third child of his mother, and all were born in the same month of the year, and their nativities were within three days of each other. Another peculiarity is also mentioned ; the worthy chiffonier remained three years a widower between each of his marriages, and died three years after the death of his third wife. KEEN SPORTSMEN. —We are often amused by anecdotes of cockney sportsmen, and they not unfrequently are made to adorn our print shop windows with marvellously tunny 'subjects. An occurrence, however, which took place here, " in the far north," last Monday, will do to place along with them. O'n that day, a brace of sportsmen sallied forth from a village not more than four miles north of York, "in quest of game." They saw a hare, at which pop went the gun,and away went puss. Finding another, the attn was taken more carefully; "Deng it, I have thee, however," said Yorkshire, bringing his tube to his shoulder. Bang went the gun, and again off sped the game. It was very odd; either the hares must have charmed lives, or, at any rate, out heroes had taken out with them no charmed bullets. At length, the cause was discovered, the party cart vim; the bag thus clear lug up the mystery: " Why, thou day weel miss, for thou's forgotten to put shot ;" which was the fact, for the firing party w.is so very keen of his - sport, that he had only given himself time to apply to the powder flask; without consider ing that saltpetre requires mixing with a little lead on these occasions.— Hull Times. EXTRAOIIDINARY LONGEVITY.-The /tfohiteur I'ari.ien records the death of a woman, named Marie Prion, which happened recently in the environs of Saint Beal, in the Haute Garonne, at the patriarchal age of 158 years, retain ing, as they say, her mental faculties to the last, although her corpse, when dead, weighed only 421 b, her tle4l being gone, and her skin and muscles adhering to her hones like pat chment ! They add, that, at the age of 66,. she sold a cottage, and some trifling [pieces of land, for an annuity of £126, which the purchasers have, consequently, had to - pay fur no less a period than 92 years! THE GREAT CARAVAN 01 , THE DESERT.—A letter from Cairo, dated Sept. 24, says—" For the first time, after a lapse of three years, the great•caravan has just arrived from Carlour. it was 30 days in crossing. the Great Desert from Darfour to Syene, where it left its camels, and embarked with its slaves god merchandise on the Nile. The caravan was composed of 8000 camels, and brings as many slaves to be sold in our market. As it takes nothing but merchandise money not being ►o ireufation either at Darfour or in the interior of the country, its arrival soil tend greatly to reani mate our commerce," SLAVS TRA DE.—A missionary at Belize, Honduras Bay, in a letter of Aug. 18. says, "A short tone ago one of her Majesty's cruisers captured a slaver between here and the island of Cuba. Two hundred rind sixty poor wretches were landed on an adjoining quay, having the small pox raging among them. I believe only two have (lied. This morning they have been brought into town, and urn( be distributed among the inhabitants, who ate to feed, clothe, and teach them to work; and, in return, are to have their services for about three sears. Their sufferings on board the slaver none can describe—men. women, and children, all in a state o nudity, chained together in the miserable hold of the vessel, Surely it is time that her Majesty's government should do s Inething mole effectually to sui press this nefarious and inhuman trade. One 01 the crew of the slaver, when he saw a number of b ark men, even here had tde audacity to ex claim' ' 0 that I had those men in the li a vannah—they would fetch 4U) dollars a-head !"che town of Belize is very sickly just now. Fevers are very prevalent." MACHINE FoR THE CURE OF- APOPLEXY, SUGGESTED BY Me. I.li.‘vls GoNIPERTZ —Provide a plank with a perpendi cular axle at one end, and place the axle in a socket, so that. the plank can turn round horizontally, like a turnpike -gate; then let the patient lie on the plank, with his head next the axl,, and let the plank be caused to revolve swiftly. so that hlood in the patient's head may, by means of .centrifugal force, be forced towards his extremities:—Mechanics' Journal. MINUTE CREATION.—The melt Oa cod-fish contains more animalcul-s than there are people living in the uodd—up wards of 200.000 of these could t.ia contained in a globe not exceeding a hail's breadth in dia.neter; and the-crystalline lens of the same fish, scarcely larger than a pea, is com posed of upwards of 5,000,000 of fibres, which lock into one another by means of more than 62,500,900,000 of teeth! The head of the common dragon fly presents a surface for the display of 25.000 lenses or eyes, and there are animalcules many thousand times less than a grain of sand, which in proportion to the smallest creature visible by the unassisted eye, are what a fly is to an elephant. • APosTAcv.—We are credibly informed that such has been the influence exercised overrhe mind of cite of our notorious radicals, by a certain public functionary, that he has been induced to espouse the cause of the' body -corporate at the cumin elvction, on condition of a vict ua ll er ' s licence being g granted to him at the next general licensing day.

SALE OF A WIFE BY : AUCTION Between th e h ours o f f our and five o'clock on Saturday last, a immuring man of the. name of Moutrop, of Haninanhy,lrought his rib into Brid lington market-place. to sell. This modern Helena had, for some time past, been living with a man name d Colley, who was the lucky purchaser, fur the sum of £2! Although the cireumstaoce occasioned an immense and rather unruly crowd, to witness the actions and looks of the trio, neither the husband, the wife, nor the amoroso appeared the least abashed. A similar transaction occurred at Bridlington about ten years ago.—Hurl! Times. CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION IN BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. —On Thursday the town of Brill was a scene o f much life and animation. On that day the Conservatives of this district of the county dined together, in the large school-room be longing to Mr. Simmons: some hundreds of persons sat down to table. Among the company were the Marquis or Chandos, M.P. (John Stone, Esq.. took the chair). J. P. Wykeham, H. Reynolds, E. and 1. Payne, G. Croke, J. Kepling, and W.

HUMANE AND EXPEDITIOUS METHOD OF KILLING PIGS. —An instrument called a pig's hammer, weighing about ?lbs., and about 26 or 28 inches long, including the head, has been brought halo tt.is town by a gentleman who is anxious for its general adoption. The Itainnter is to be held with both hands, and the pig shuck a stuart blow between and a little above the eves. and then stuck instantly w hilst in a state of insensi bility. If many are to be killed at the same lime, two men should be employed; one to knock them down—the other to stick them. In this manner about 30 may be hi led in an hour. The same hammer is equally useful for killing calves, sheep, &c. It hashing been in use at the slaughter-houses in Bristol, and is found to lie a humane and no less 'expeditious method of effecting his object. Mr. Trudell, of this town has mantifictured several of these instruments at the expense of the humane gentleman above-mentioned.— Taunton Coo vier. FATE OF COACHMEN.—Ask the people of Bristol and Ches ter what sewed them up; and they wall tell you, while they was asleep, Liverpool ran off witu their trade. And if you haviei time to go there ask the first coachman you get along side of, what he thinks of the railroads; and gist listen to the funeral hymn he'll sing over the turnpikes.

The s , les yesterday were 5.000 bags, and to-day 4,000 have been sold. The demand has been very steady, and the market has closed firmly at full prices. LIVERPOOL COHN EXCHANGE, OCT. 30. In consequence of veto moderate arrivals of Grain, Flour and Oatmral Ireland, (oastways and Foreign Ports, and a con tinuance during the chief part of the past week of weather very unfavourable for the completion of the northern harvest, this Corn Market has continued very brisk for the sale of almost every article in the trmle, a* an advance since Tuesday last of about 6d per 7011 on W neat, a6d to per 28011, and per barrel of 190th on Flour, A per 451 b on Oats, 3s per 2401 b on Oatmeal, 2s per qr. on Harley, Beans and Pease. and. all our country markets, as well as those in Yorkshire, and Mark-lahe have participated fully in this advance. Although the prices of Wheat have been recently advancing throughout the whole kingdom, the aggregate average is reduced by the high weekly averages of, and previously to the 7th Septem ber, being in their course, excluded ; and the duty on Wheat from Foreign ports is since Friday last increased Is per quarter, and 74d per barrel on Flour, also Is tid per. qr. on Barley. Indian Corn, Buck Wheat and Beans—on other Grain no alteration, hut a confident feeling of a speedy reduction in the duties prevailing, a speculative demand for Wheat and Flour in bond has continued, and several parcels have changed hands at an advance of 3d to 4d per 701bs on the former, and of Is to 2s per barrel on the latter ;—a small in crease has been demanded on Oats and Pease in bond, but very lit tle done therein. The supplies to this day's market have been a little increased by arrivals during the last two days—particularly of Oatmeal ; and in some degree owing to the non-arrival of the London Mail until nearly the end of our market, we were not so brisk as during the past week, hut the advance above-noted was very fully supported for every article in the trade, and sales to a fair extent were effected.

The supply of Be•as's at market to-day has been rather large, and the quality generally middli or, but the market has been a hanging one, which may he attributed to the very bad weather, many coun try buyers not being in attendance ; but although the sales have been small we cannot note any alteration in the ~rice of Beef from our last week's quotat ons. Of Sheep we have had a tolerable supply for the time of the year, many of which were of very good quality. Good Beef sold at 51d, middling sd, varying from that down to 4d. Wether Mutton, that of extraordinary size and quality, sold ;us high as 7d, good 61d, middling Cd, varying from that down to 5,1, but that at the Litter price was of very ordinary quality. There were many Beasts of ordinary quality, and a few Sheep left unsold. Number of Cattle at market—Beasts, 1741; Sheep, 6554. LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL MARKET, OCT. 31. s. (1. s. d. s. d. s. d.
