Vottrp. THE STETHISCOPE. (For the Liverpool Standard.) Our Loan supplies a stethescope to sound; For moral tumors in the breast abound : 'Tis God's dear word—apply the listening ear ; 'Twill count—'twill cure—the evils which are here ; And Jesus, the physician of the soul, Himself pours out the " balm"—pronounces whole ! Triune, to plan, triumphant, to ensure ; The Lamb supplies, the Dove applies the cure ; And thus is God " our Father" reconciled, Lays down the angry rod, takes up the child ! Yes, plants the olive where death's deluge raged, And whispers peace—the billows are assuaged! Yes, He who moved upon the waters first, Ere yet by man; by sin, become accurs'd, Sat brooding on the sable womb of night, And, out of darkness, call'd forth light ; A light, alas ! to lead to moral gloom, Conduct us, and consign us to the tomb ; Presenting to the apple of the eye, Eve's—Eden's—apple, just to taste and die! (The " Tree of Life" the spirit's sword denied, On Calvary's tree, or Jesus had not died.) Whence sin was drowned (riot cleansed) in Noah's flood, Which nothing could obliterate but blood! This in renewing efficacy ran, When Noah's Antitype atoned for man, Endured the cross, the vinegar, and gall,— The second Adam for the first man's fall, — The " quick'ning spirit" , pouring forth His breath, To save the " living soul' from endless death ! And hence a ray of light dispels the shade, (Man's glorious destiny was b u t d e l aye d ; } This ray expands--a crescent in the sky— A rainbow promise that he need not die. Jehovah's " oath " precludes a second flood ; We're saved from fire by Immanuel's blood ; And God the Spirit perfecteth the whole, " Seals to redemption"—sanctifies the soul. But let not man his fellow-man deceive, Though " unto all," on" only those who " believe." The wedding-robe from pole to pole extends, To circumscribe creation with its ends; From time unto eternity unrolls, To wrap " returning " sinners in its folds ! For such—for such alone—He dies; he bleeds : For such " He lives," for such he " intercedes." Who will not come, himself must only blame ; To-day—for ever—Jesus is " The Same !" Nor less, " The Spirit ;" it is He gives light— Presents the Saviour to the sinner's sight ; Dispels the clouds, disperses all his fears, And melts him to contrition and to tears : He brings him to a sorrow for his sin— The source whence all amendment must begin; Helps, with " unutterable groans," our grief, And often brings us, ere we ask, relief; Supports through life, and to our latest breath — No, nor deserts us even at our death : His eye can pity, and His arm can save— Illuminate the darkness of the grave ; " The lamp of life" in " death" does not deny, And opes the lids He closed without a sigh— For whom 'tis Christ—to live—'tis gain —to die! Presents us to the Father and the Son. 'Tis then that our glory is begun : This is the " top-stone"—when, with shouting " grace," We see our risen Saviour " face to face !" A. TORY SONG. (For the Liverpool Standard.) Come, let us sing a Tory song, a song of other days, When revolution stalk'd abroad, and did the land amaze ; When infidels, and anarchists, and all the worst of men, Were ripe for rapine and for blood—what did the isle do then ? To William Pitt she turn'd her eyes, and turn'd them not in vain, For he the laws at once enforc'd, good order to maintain, And some met with the traitor's doom, and some in other climes Found the reward so well deserv'd—the punishment of crimes. Resplendently the talents of the mighty statesman shone, And from destruction he preserv'd the altar and the throne ; With matchless energy he thinn'd the baffled traitors ranks, His sole reward, 'twas nobly earn'd—a grateful nation's thanks. O! would that we another Pitt in these sad days could find ! Like him to stop that rebel course, now call'd " the march of mind." Where then would be O'Connell and the brawlers for repeal ? The " Towers of Julius," doubtless, would their dastard forms conceal. Then where would be the traitors, and the members of the league, Who with disturbance fill the land by many a vile intrigue ? Their silly, well-paid spouters too, where would the creatures dwell ? Long, long ago, their lodgings would have been a Newgate cell. Now let us hope the mantle that once cloth'd the form of Pitt, Will in these times of lawless acts another statesman fit; Then mute would be the traitor's tongue, disturbances would cease, And England, as of old, be bless'd with plenty and with peace. Everton, 24th November, 1842. P. M. THE BATTLE FIELD. BY WM. C. BRYANT. Once this soft turf, this rivulet's sands, Were trampled by a hurrying crowd, And fiery hearts and armed hands Encountered in the battle cloud. Ah ! never shall the land forget How gushed the life-blood of her brave— Gushed, warmed with hope and valour yet, Upon the soil they fought to save. Now all is calm, and fresh, and still, Alone the chirp of flitting bird, And talk of children on the hill, And bell of wandering kine, are heard. No solemn host goes trailing by The black-muuthed gun and staggering wain; Men start not at the battle -cry— Oh, be it never heard again! Soon rested those that fought—but thou, Who minglest in the harder strife For truths which men receive not now, Thy warfare only ends with life. A friendless warfare ! lingering long Through weary day and weary year ; A wild and many-weaponed throng Hang on the front and flank and rear. Yet nerve thy spirit to the proof, And blench not at thy chosen lot; The timid good may stand aloof, The sage may frown, yet faint thou not! Nor heed the shaft too surely cast, The hissing, stinging bolt of scorn, For with thy side shall dwell, at last, The victory of endurance born. Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again ; The eternal years of God are her's ; But Error, wounded, writhes with pain, And dies among his worshippers. Yea, though thou lie upon the dust, When those who helped thee fl eln:fear, Die full of hope and manly trust, Like those who fell in battle here. Another hand thy sword shall wield, Another hand the standard wave, Till from the trumpet's month is pealed The blast of triumph o'er the grave! —New York paper. AN INVITATION TO DINNER. The following, the latest production of the poet Moore, was addressed to the Marquis of Lansdowne:— Some think ye bards have nothing real— Tha► poets l►ve among the stars, so Their very dinners are ideal— (And heaven knows, too oft they are so ;) For instance, that we have, instead Of vulgar chops, and stews, and hashes, First course, a phoenix, at the head, Done in its own celestial ashes; At foot, a cygnet, which kept singing, All the time its neck was wringing. Side dishes, thus Minerva's owl, Or any such like learned fowl ; Doves such as heaven's poulterer gets When Cupid shoots his mother's pets. Larks stew'd in morning's roseate breath, Or roasted by a sunbeam's splendour; And nightingales be—rhymed to death— Like young pigs whipp'd to make them tender. Such fare may suit those bards who're able To banquet at Duke Humphrey's Table; But as for me who've long been taught To eat and drink like other people, And can put up with mutton, bought Where Bromham rears its ancient steeple ; If Lansdowne will consent to share My humble feast, though rude the fare, Yet, seasoned by that salt he brings From Attica's salinest springs 'Twill turn to dainties ; while the cup, Beneath his influence brightening up, Like that of Bacchus, touched by Jove, Will sparkle fit for gods above. WELCH NAMES. —The frequency of such names as Davies, Harris, Jones, and Evans, has been o ft en remar ked, and it is to be accounted f or by the use of the father's name in the genitive case, the word son being understood ; thus David's son became Davis, Harry's son Harris, John's son Jones, and Evan's son Evans. It is a well-attested fact that, about forty years since, the Monmouth and Brecon militia con tained no less than thirty-6 2 .. 1;0in Jones's. Even the gentry of Wales bore no hereditary surn ames until the time of H en ry the Eighth• That monar c h, who paid great attention to heraldic matters, strongly recommended the heads of u with their rank and sage long before adopted Welch families taoscruonofroercmoit)osisttheent by the En g lish, . 1. farm les .accordingly_ _made dig nity.

Akin to this were the words of John Huss at hi s burning, who, fixing his eyes stedfastly burn !upon the spectators, said, with a solemn voice, 'They a goose, but i n a h u ndr e d years a swan will arise out of the . ashes;' words which many have regarded as a prediction of the reformer of Eisleben, the name of Huss signifying a goose, and that of Luther a swan." [Apropos of punning.— We were told a few days ago a bit of pleasantry of a late distinguished novelist who was extremely fond of a game at cards. Two days previous to his death, while stretched upon his bed of sickness, his two daughters came to visit him. One of them was named" Louisa"—familiarly called amongst them Lu ; the other young lady had that day arrived at her majority. Having taken their usual seats on each side of the couch, the medical attendant made his morning call, when the wit exclaimed, " Yon see.,Doctor, I cannot get over my old love for a quiet game. Here's Lu on one hand, and Vingt-et-un on the other." MISCELLANEOU,'i. A new church was opened at Lisburn on Sunday last. Her Majesty will leave Walmer for Brighton, according to the present arrangement, on the 22d December. There is a rumour abroad that the Hon. and Very Rev. Dean Maude will be the new bishop.—Dublin Evening Packet. PILCHARD FrsHEßY.—This fishery has been very suc cessful this season on the Cornish coast. At St. Ives alone, 12,000 barrels have been cured. Money-letters, containing property to the extent of more than £BOO, have been recently abstracted from the Hudders field post-office. Five thousand adventurers from Madeira in the last four years emigrated to Demerara, where the climate has made fearful havoc amongst them. The remnant of the 44th, which was all but extinguished in the deplorable retreat from Cabul, is ordered to be sent back to England forthwith. Sir E. L. Bulwer has a new romance in the press, entitled, "The Last of the Barons ;" and " Boz " opens the new year with a monthly novel. —London paper. The Conservative, or Junior Carlton Club, now numbers nearly 800 memeers ; and the new Club House is to be built on the site of the Thatched House Tavern, St. James'-street. Lady Charlotte Beauclerk has been ordered by the Court of Chancery £lO,O-12 n.aintenance, in pursuance of the will of the late Duke of St. Albans. The failure of Messrs. Bell, Brothers, and Co., a firm of old and respectable standing in the Irish trade, was announced on 'Change on Tuesday. Another calamity has befallen the Southampton docks, no less than the falling of three of the walls. It will cost £25,000 to repair the damage. YOUNG TRAVELLERS.—Ten commercial gentlemen dined at an hotel in Lincoln last week. On a calculation it was found that eight out of the ten were under 25 years of age. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council will assemble on Monday, the 28th instant, to hear appeals from decisions of the Ecclesiastical Courts. A spacious and beautiful Corn Exchange has been erected in Glasgow, and was opened on Wednesday. It is situated in Elope-street. The mail from Worcester to Ludlow, after running for half a century, made its last journey on Tuesday, thus leaving the public without any official conveyance for letters betwee❑ Worcester and Tenbury. Paris letters of Saturday's date announce that the new Post-office treaty between France and England had been signed, as well as a treaty for regulating the cod fisheries of the two countries. On the morning after the Reliance East Indiaman was wrecked on the French coast, another vessel, named the Ar moricain, with a cargo of wine and brandy, went to pieces within a few miles of the same spot. TRAMPS. —By the act of 5 and 6 Victoria, casual poor are compelled to work six hours, if ordered so to do, i❑ return for the food and lodging afforded them. On refusal to do so, they are liable to three months' hard labour. A most extraordinary collection of Pagan deities, instru ments of war, and vessels for domestic purposes, has lately arrived in this country from Mexico, as presents to Sir E. Antrobus, Bart. THE UNEMPLOYED.—We grieve to say that the number of the unemployed is still rising. Last week it was 7022, this week it is 7372 ; showing an increase of 350.—Paisley Ad vertiser of Saturday. On Friday, a man of the name of Paterson, belonging to Paisley, committed suicide by hanging himself on a tree in suburbs of Greenock. Want of victuals was the cause of the rash act. The intelligence from China has caused the postponement of a very large public sale of tea, which had been advertised, but the opinion in Mincing Lane is, that prices may be con sidered to be full lid per lb lower than on Saturday afternoon. A handsome monument to the late Thomas Dunham Whitaker, L.L.D., late vicar of Whalley and Blackburn, &c., &c., the excellent and lamented historian of Whalley, has been erected by public subscription in the venerable church of that village. THE MARCH OF INTELLECT.—We are assured that the following epistle was lately written from a farmer in this neighbourhood to his friend :—" Der Jan—the Oxen ar corn to praise the Gods :"—he meant to convey that " the auc tioneer was come to appraise the goods."—Exeter Gazette. The sentence of death, passed upon Milborough Trilloe, who now lies in Hereford Gaol, for child murder, has been commuted by her Majesty to transportation for life. The un fortunate woman received the intelligence with the same ap parent apathy which has marked her conduct since her trial. The Courrier Francais states, that in consequence of the threatened invasion of Texas by the Mexicans, overtures have been made by the Cabinet of Washington to France and Great Britain. in order to place the infant State of Texas under the protection of the three Powers. COLLIERY RIOTS.—On Wednesday night week, an out rage took place amongst the colliers in Ayrshire. One man was stabbed, and ten others were severely beaten. About sixty new hands had arrived by railway to work at Mr. Gor don's, and the old hands were exasperated, and maltreated them as we have stated. " A few days back," says the Courrier Francais," a child of three years of age, whose birth, from some negligence had not been inscribed on the registers of the state, was brought before the mayor of a village to be registered•. The worthy functionary, faithful to his customary routine, wrote down, ' This day was born a child three years old !' " Surveys have been made and the required notices given for the construction of a branch line from the London and Brighton Railway at Croydon, to pass from thence through Merstham, Mitcham, Brixton, Tooting, Clapham, Lambeth, and Battersea, terminating at the Wandsworth-road, near the Nine Elms station of the London and Southampton Railway. INCOME-TAx.—Several motions and other applications have been made during the present term to the Lord Chan cellor and the other Equity Judges respecting difficult legal questions arising out of the operation of the above tax. There appears every probability of the prediction of the Vice- Chancellor being fulfilled, viz., that it will occupy years to decide all the questions relative to the income-tax. John Todd, Esq., of Tranby Park, near H ull, has purchased of Sir J. P. Milbanke, Bart. the Halnaby and Cowton Grange estate, in the North Riding of York, with the beautiful do main of upwards of 3000 acres. This handsome estate was originally purchased, in the sixteenth century, by the cele brated Lady Dorothy Milbanke, with the proceeds of her sale of gingerbread upon the bridge at Berwick-upon-Twe e d. On Wednesday last, the election of registrar for the W e st Riding of Yorkshire commenced, as we announced in our last. The emoluments of the office are about £2,000 per annum. At the conclusion of the first day's polling the numbers stood as follows : Mr. Lascelles 726 Mr. flodj;ci:: Mr. P. V. Fitzpatrick, Treasurer of the O'Connell tribute, has issued circulars pressing the collection, and declaring that " Mr. O'Connell is in want of pecuniary aid," and he concludes with the important news, that it is in contempla tion " in future to give us the annual call. and to make one general call on a given day, throughout the nation, which will be a final one, and thus enable the trustees to purchase an estate, to keep the great Liberator from want in his declining years." The Sydney Herald (New South Wales) of May 21, which we have seen, has a long and interesting account of the de parture of Dr. Selwyn, for the Diocese of New Zealand, of which he is Bishop. An address, with 2,500 signatures, was presented to him. The Bishop of Australia delivered an elo quent and pious address, to which Bishop Selwyn, replied, and when he embarked for New Zealand, the leading men of Sydney saw him off. THE WELSH BlSHOPRlCS.—Carnarvonshire has been foremost in the field in the renewed opposition to the mea sures of the ecclesiastical commission. A county meeting was held at the Shire-hall, Carnarvon, on Wednesday, and an influentially signed requisition has been presented to the high sheriff for calling the county of Anglesea together to enter its protest against the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor, the reduction of the chapter to the dean and two canons, and the appropriation of a portion of the revenues of the diocese to the increase of the stipend of one of the Eng lish bishoprics. Scarcely a day passes in which the Queen Dowager, atten ded by her suite, to the number of 16 or 18, may not be seen taking equestrian exercise in the neighbourhood of Cantord House. Her Majesty every Sunday attends Divine Service at the parish church, where also service is celebrated on Wednesdays and Fridays; and Divine Worship is likewise regularly celebrated daily in the house by her Majesty's chaplain, the Rev. J. Wood, a room having been fitted up for that purpose as a chapel. Her Majesty's beneficence is extensively exercised amongst the poor of the neighbourhood. —Dorset Chronicle. ANOTHER RUMOUR. —The death of Dr. Sandes, the Bishop of Cashel, is likely to lead to a vacancy on the judicial as well as on the episcopal bench. It has been understood for some past that Judge Torrens was willing to retire in favour of any of the Government men, provided his brother, the archdeacon, was elected to the episcopacy. This oppor tunity has presented itself, and the probability is that the descent of the judge will be but a preliminary to the exalta tion of the parson. Mr. Serjeant Warren, it is thought, will be the successor of Torrens in the Common Pleas. — Advertiser. Another of the unfortunate persons (Miss Jane Walker) who were on the scaffold that fell when her Majesty was in Edinburgh, died on Friday last. She was carried to the Royal Infirmary when the accident happened, where it was ascertained that she had received a compound fracture of the ankle, and though it was at first deemed expedient to have recourse to amputation, yet a strong desire to preserve the limb, induced the surgeons in attendance to resort to less stringent measures, which were so tar successful as to enable the patient to be removed, a fortnight since, to her sister's house in India-street, but mortification afterwards ensuing, she died as above stated.—Edinburgh Standard. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—Mr. Walter G. H. Light bourn, of Nassau, New Providence, met his death on the 14th of October last, in a very sudden and awful manner. He had on that day gone out from his country residence to shoot a wild hog, but had not proceeded far when he was in duced to stop to pick some guavas, when by some accident the gun went off and the ball passed through his heart. His daughter and some of her children, who were in company, at once saw the nature of the accident, and immediately ran to him; he almost instantly expired, having barely time to call his daughter by name, and to say " 0 God, 0 God, I am dying."—Barbadoes Paper. Loss OF THE RUSHEN CASTLE. — lnformation was on Saturday last received of the total loss of the Ru - sfien Castle, Captain Carrall, which unfortunate event occurred on the night of Tuesday last in Port St. Mary Bay. The vessel was laden with a general cargo. On her passage from Dundalk to Liverpool she had taken the bay for shelter, a strong wes terly gale having sprung up, when, in consequence of it in creasing, the anchors and cables gave way, and she drove on the rock at the entrance of the harbour, where, in the course of a few hours, she became a total wreck. The crew and passengers happily were saved through the exertions of the coast-guard service, who deserve the utmost praise.— Standard. A RASH HUSBAND.—A strange affair, says the Commerce , . at this time the common topic of conversation at Troyes. A of ri i ilhabitant of that place, in full confidence of the fideli t y his wife, made a wager of 600 f. that she could not be seduced, An obligation for this sum was deposited by him in tun hands of a notary, who gave an undertaking that it should not be enforced until proof was given that the wner was decided. The lady proved frail, the bond was put in for the purposl: on the ground of it-rsaii suit, and the r o o f perty of the self-deceived husband seized ;l i e n: a l t h c e o n a m s i d o e u r n a t ti 0 n l: he n I d l us th b e a n ci d u r e e s s t i i s o t n s rem A a i c n o s m fo m r e t r r c i i a a l l . traveller, residing at No. 56, Basinghall street,from Andover, by the South-dI?VY had occasion, on v • last, to come up to London, a white linen bag, estern Railway, having in his containing 244 sovereigns and possession l i two silver watch-cases. On must have deposited the bag on the seat u p it is supp o s ed he ;l of the carriage he was in. The train arriving at Nine had proceeded but a s hort dis tance to his residence he got out, and missed his treasure; he hastened back with all when he speed to re gain the money, but he heard no tidings of • It, and it is very doubtful if lie ever will. The railway company have insti tuted every inquiry, and the unfortunate loser has off • ered a reward of £5O for the recovery. DE ATE FRONT ATTACK Or RAM.—Aa inquest was held, by Mr. Hosty, on the body of Eleanor Farley, at Lar ragan, who came by her death from several frightful wounds inflicted on her head and body by a ram, the property of Patrick Walsh, which attacked her when crossing a field. The owner of the ram having undertaken to destroy him, the jury did not impose a deodand. The ram's head, breast, and shoulders were covered with the blood of the unfortunate woman.—Tuam Herald. ADMISSION OF FREEMEN.—The Right Hon the Lord Mayor held a Court for the first time since his electio❑ to office, at the City Assembly-house, William-street, on Friday last, from ten until four o'clock, for the admission of free men, during which time he admitted 159 claimants :-106 by birth. 46 by marriage, and 7 by service. His lordship re ceived the Conservative and Radical claimants by alternate tallies until he adjourned the Court. The following are the numbers admitted :—Conservatives, 118 ; Radicals, 41 ; Ma jority for the Conservatives, 77.—Dublin Evening Mail. THE CENTRIFUGAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—OR Satur day an accident happened at this exhibition in London, which, fortunately, did not terminate so fatally as might have been expected. A gentleman entered the car, in the indulgence of his curiosity to experience the peculiar motion, when, from some unexplained cause, the car, at the moment when it had reached the zenith of the verticle circle, was, with its occu pant, pitched out of the rails on the ground. Had the car, which weighs 2001 b, fallen on the individual, he must inevi tably have been killed, but he fortunately escaped with a few bruises. The fact of such an accident having occurred may operate as a caution to others. We are glad to hear that the local commissioners for the city have relaxed the rule laid down by them, of requiring persons assessed by them to the property tax at more than £l5O a year to appeal in these cases where the government officer is prepared to certify that the parties are entitled to exemption. We hope this will allay the angry feeling mani fested in the city at the proceedings of the assessors, and at once convince the public that it has not been the wish of the Government officers to charge parties with the tax who are not liable, or to give them the trouble of appealing to prove their exemption.—Times. UHALmEres LIBRARY.—The sale of the third part of the library of the late George Chalmers, which concluding por tion also occupied eight days, is terminated. To the close it continued to excite very great interest; indeed, when the immense bundles of manuscripts, as well as the elaborate notes and illustrations in the several volumes, all in Mr. Chalmer's handwriting, were contemplated, the wonder in creased that he could have found time, independently of his labours at the Board of Trade, to do so much. This sale pro duced about £2,000; the first and second parts £4,000; together, certainly, above £6,000. RARE SURGICAL OPERATION.—A child, six months old, was brought to Dr. Cotter laboring under the most distress. ing symptoms of water on the brain, for which •he subjected him to the usual and most approved treatment in such cases —but without success. He therefore determined to perform the operation of tapping the head, as the only means of saving the child, which would have soon died from the pressure of so much fluid on the brain, and did perform it successfully, abstracting from 17 to 18 ounces of water, to the indescriba ble relief of the little suffering patient—without causing much pain or uneasiness, and without the loss of a single drop of blood.—Cork Constitution. The foundation-stone of the Glasgow New City and County Buildings was laid on Friday by the Lord Provost. The buildings are of the Grecian lonic order, and, as was stated in our last, are calculated to afford chambers for the meetings of Council, for the Burgh Court, the Town Clerks, the Sheriff and Sheriff's Clerks, the Justice of Peace , Clerk, the Chamberlain. the Fiscals, &c. Connected with these build ings, although unconnected with the Court-house Commis sioners, is the New Merchant's Hall, a very elegant building, fronting Garthland-street, at the other end of which is the Trades' Hall. The Merchants' Hall will be finished next summer, and the County Buildings in 1844. CONVOCATION.—In his recent charge to the clergy of his diocese, the Bishop of Exeter strongly recommended that the sittings of convocation should be resumed. The follow ing address has been transmitted to the Venerable J. Moore Stevens, M.A., Archdeacon of Exeter, on the subject : " We, the undersigned, request you to call a meeting of the clergy of this archdeaconry, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of addressing a memorial to the bishop on the evils under which the church is at present lying through the want of a representative body qualified and authorised to protect the religious interests, and thereby to promote the wellbeing of the national church." (The names of twenty clergymen follow.) In compliance with the requisition, the archdeacon has called a meeting, to be held at the College Hall, Exeter, on Friday next, the sth instant. The following is a true and correct list of the new Commis missioners, of their respective seniority, calls to the bar, and the present rumoured "location." 1. Mr. J. Balguy, Q.C June 14, 1805.. Birmingham. 2. Mr. Sergeant Ludlow Nov. 17, 1805.. Manchester. 3. Mr. Sergt. Goulburn June 9, 1815.. Exeter. 4. Mr. W. Skii row, Q.C May 23, 1810.. Liverpool. 5. Mr. Sergt. Stephen Nov. 24, 1815.. Bristol. 6. Mr. Nath. Ellison 7. Mr. Martin J. West June 16, 1812.. Leeds. S. Mr. E. R. Daniel 9. Mr. W. T. Jemmett Nov. 10, 1820.. Manchester. 10. Mr. C. Phillips . 11. Mr. M. B. Bere. June 21, 1825.. Leeds. 12. Mr. Richd. Stevenson A LARGE BULL.—This animal, four and a half years old, the property of John Horn, Esq., of Thomanean, was killed at Milnathort, a few days ago. The following is the weight : Total weight when alive, 188 stones imperial, or 2632 lbs. The four quarters weighed 1735 lbs. leaving 896 lbs. to be ac counted for as follows :—Hide, 142 lbs. ; head and feet, 80 lbs. ; tallow, 158 lbs. ; lungs, heart, and including what is generally known under the name lights, 7-1 lbs. ; blood, 100 lbs. ; stomach and intestines, with contents, 270 lbs. ; waste, 72 lbs. This animal was a cross with the calf of a cow belonging to Captain Barclay, of Ury, and a Teeswater cow. One of his breed, two and a half years old, the produce of a short-horned cow (Teeswater) promises even to exceed the weight of the former. Farm produce alone was employed in the rearing. —Glasgow Mail. PROPOSED RAILWAYS.—Surveys are now in progress, and application to parliament is intended to be made in the en suing session for leave to construct a branch railway fromthe Blisworth station on the London and Birmingham Railway to Nottingham and Peterborough, and likewise for another branch to Leamington and Warwick. Branches are also in contemplation from the London and Dover Railway to Can terbury, Margate, and Ramsgate. The Eastern Counties Company are about to make a line from their station at Kelvedon to Bury St. Edmund's; and the Northern and Eastern will extend theirs from Bishop's Stortford to Cam bridge, terminating with a junction by the Norwich and Yarmouth. Two branch lines from Oxford are to be con structed to join the Great Western at Wallingford and Dideot ; and a third to communicate with the Aylesbury Railway. Surveys are also in progress for a line t o p ass through the towns of Greenwich, Woolwich, Gravesend, 1 1 Rochester, and Maidstone ; and also for another to connect the Brighton and South Western railways. The above lines, when completed, will open a direct line of communication from the metropolis from nearly all parts of the kingdom. Two new stations have lately been opened on the London and Birmingham Railway, at Sudbury and Rimer, to accom modate the increasing traffic. POOR. RATE.—TWO MEN KlLLED.—Considerable diffi culty has been for some time experienced in collecting the poor-rate in the parish of Skibbereen. The rate for the estate of Lord Carbery was fixed to be collected on Wednes day week, and it was determined to do so as peaceably as possible. A body of police accompanied the collectors, and considerable resistance was offered to them, and an affray took place, when two men were killed, three severely and three slightly wounded. On Monday, an inquest was held on the bodies, when Mr. Driscoll, of the town of Skilbereen, was examined, and deposed that there were about sixty or seventy police present ; when they came to Creagh there were sixty men, women, and children following the police ; could not say how many were to the front; does not think Mr. Jones could see what occurred at the head of the police ; at this side of Creagh Mr. Jones desired the people to fall back, which they did ; the rear-guard turned on the people, and a mounted policeman charged in amongst them, and he at tempted to take a man named Collins ; Collins was arrested ; he had no coat on him ; the people were doing nothing at the time ; he was handcuffed and carried on ; the police then presented at the crowd that was with witness; Mr. Jones told the people to stop back ; when they got at the top of Creagh, witness saw Mr. Aylmer tussling with a countryman; Brien, the deceased, was with witness at the time, about forty yards from the rear-guard ; there was no shouting or stone-throwing at that time ; the man who was tussling with Mr. Aylmer was beyond the rear guard at the side of the road ; the police were at this time to the west of Creagh Chapel, and witness saw stones thrown at the head of the police and middle; the stones were thrown in the direction of where Mr. Aylmer and the coun trymen were; could not say whether any of the police were struck ; saw none of them knocked down or cut : when the stones were thrown witness heard some shots; they fired immediately after the stones were thrown ; they fired one by one ; the shots were fired in the direction where the stones were thrown from ; the police wheeled round and fired in the rear; there was no stone thrown there or shout given; it was there Brien fell, near witness ; his face was turned to the police when he was shot ; he was forty or fifty yards from the police; he fell ; witness did not wait to take him up, as the people all ran as fast as they could ; after they ran there were forty or fifty shots fired ; witness saw a man shot in the back in a field as he was running away; the rear guard, he thinks, primed and loaded twice; all the people with witness were throwing themselves down at the side of the ditches; the ground about Creagh was very rough, hilly and full of rocks ; if the people were on a plain they could scarcely— ln witnesse's oath from the time he left the town with Brien there was not a stone thrown, or an offence given to the police by the people that were with deceased and himself. After some further evidence corroborative of this the enquiry was adjourned.—Cork Constitution. BRITISH IRON COMPANY.—The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, on Friday last, and was numerously attended. Sir George Larpent presided. In their report, the directors expressed their regret that the continued fall in price during the whole period over which the accounts extended was such as to render inevitable a loss upon the workings. The prices of iron at the beginning of the present year, when these ac counts commenced, contrasted with what they were at the end of June, to which period they were made up, were as follows :- 31st December, 1841. 30th June, 1842. £ s. d. £ s. d. £ s. d. £ s. d. Newport 6 0 0 .... 4 15 0 London 7 0 0 .... 510 0 Liverpool Corngreaves ooto 7 5 0 .... 6100 to 6 15 0 The operations of the company in the half-year ending on the 30th June, 1842, and their result, may be shortly stated, as follows, viz. THE MAKE OF PIG IRON. At Abersychan At Dudley Wood and Netherton, con nected with Corngreaves ,370 „ At Ruabon ............................ 3,787 „ Total make of pig iron 17,823 tons. THE MAKE OF BARS, RAILS, AND OTHER MANUFACTURED IRON. At Abersychan— Bar iron and rai15...... tons 2187 1 Mill bars i, 3141 I 5,328 tons. At Corngreaves At Brierley Hill 1,473 ~ At Ruaboi, Total make of bars, rails, and 1 15,707 tons. other manufactured iron .. The report proceeded to show that the result of these opera. tions had been a loss of £8,784 ss. 1 ld. on the trading business of the company, inclusive of the payments for fixed rents, expenses of management, &c. Since the resolution passed by the shareholders, in November last year, as to the inexpediency of attempting to dispose of the company's property in the then depressed state of the trade, the price of iron in Wales and in London had declined about £1 ss. per ton, and in Staffordshire about 10s. per ton ; and the directors were of opinion that some arrangement for bringing the affairs of the company to a close should be attempted early next year.—The Chairman stated, that the amount against the company at present was £150,000 to Mr. Attwood ; the gross amount (including that sum) was £400,000., against which there was the property, which produced 40,000 tons of iron and upwards. The report was adopted after the ex pression of a general wish by the meeting that the affairs of the company should be wound up as speedily as possible. A paper was read on the 22d instant before the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society of London, giving an ac count of a case of successful amputation of the thigh during the mesmeric state, by Messrs. Ward and Topham. THE MARKETS IN IRELAND. — : - PCOVisiORS of every sort still rate- very low. Excellent beef was sold in Mayo on Saturday at from 21d. to 30. per lb. ; good mutton at the same; the best description of potatoes were sold on Saturday at lid. per stone, and were bought on Wednesday or Thurs day at lid. Oatmeal sold on Saturday at from 7s. to 7s. 6d. a cwt., and oats at from 3s. 6d. to 4s. 4d. Some oats of an inferior description were purchased at 3s. We heard expe rienced persons say, that the growers can as well afford to sell oats this year at 4s. as they could last at 6s. at least. There can be no doubt but potatoes are, by one-third or more, a better crop this year than last. According to this calculation, the farmers would not be such losers by the low prices as might appear at first sight and as has been stated. Butcher's meat has come down somewhat nearer than it heretofore did, in proportion to the price of ca ttl e .—Mayo paper- • AN INGENIOUS DEVICE. — The Postmaster-General has issued a bill all over the country, warning persons of the danger of enclosing coin in letters that pass through the post, and recommending the adoption of Post-office orders for the transmission of small sums. A person who was in the habit of sending small amounts in letters to a poor correspondent through the post, had one stolen, and being unwilling to give his correspondent, who was bedridden, the trouble to attend to Post-office orders, he bought a number of buttons, such as are bought by tailors to be covered with cloth. These buttons were the precise size of a half-sovereign. When he wished to send a remittance, he place a half-sovereign on a button, and covered it with a thin piece of cloth in the man ner a tailor would do it, which scarcely occupied the labour of a minute. The button was then fastened in the letter, and the eye of the former was made to protrude through the latter, so as to make it appear as if a pattern button was merely sent through the post. This ingenious device evi dently deceived the Post-office gentry, and secured several half-sovereigns from the appropriation claws of postmasters and their assistants. Every button came safe to hand. THE PRESTON GUILD ROBBERY.—It will be recollected, that at the late Preston Guild a gentleman of the name of Marquise, a manufacturer in Lancashire, and who was for merly a foreman in the employ of the late Sir Robert Peel (father of the Premier), was robbed of his pocket-book, con taining bank-notes to the amount of £2,000 and upwards. It seems that one of the notes stolen, of the value of £3OO, has recently been presented by Messrs Masterman and Co. to the Bank of England for, and refused, payment, and the Bank of England has detained the note. Messrs. Masterman and Co.. it appears, received the note from the firm of Rothschild and Co., who stated that their house at Paris transmitted it to them. Information of the presentation and detention of the note having been communicated to Mr. Marquise, he immediately took active measures to trace the note back to the party who paid it into the bank at Paris, and sought and obtained an interview with the woman whom, it will be remembered, he successfully prosecuted for being con cerned in the robbery. This woman disclosed where the pocket-book which contained the note was hidden, and it was subsequently recovered ; and that her accomplice in the rob bery was a man, a mechanic well known in Sheffield, where, before the robbery, he had worked and resided for some years ; and that she believed he had left the country the day following that of the robbery. There can be no doubt that the man is concealed somewhere in or about Paris. THE EARL OF SHREWSBURY'S " HOLY VIRGINS" DE TECTED.—The readers of the STANDARD will remember that we last year gave an account of the Earl of Shrewsbury's credulity, in reference to a disgusting exhibition near Cham bery. a place in the vicinity of Geneva. That nobleman published a description of his visit to a young female, whose hands and feet bore the marks of the nails which attached Christ to the cross ; and every morning the wounds bled spontaneously. The young woman was described as emi nently pious, and with a heavenly calmness and resignation upon her countenance ; and all the flowers of the nobleman's rhetoric and powers of description were called into play to give an additional solemnity and effect to his account. It now appears that the whole thing (as we denounced it to be at the time above referred to) is a deception and a cheat. Certain priests prevailed upon a common prostitute (Lord Shrewsbury's patient and resigned virgin) to enact the part of the victim ; and for some time the cheat has brought large sums to their coffers. Another girl was also invested with the deception, she having some symbolic marks of the same nature about her. It appears that the police have taken these wretches into custody ; but the moment the neigh bouring inhabitants heard of the detection of the fraud, they crowded round the house, where it had taken place, set fire to the building, and razed it to the ground. This discovery of the abominable fraud, which took place at the commence ment of the present month, has led to some extraordinary disclosures connected with the manner in which all the mis creants, male and female, lived together. DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT.—On Monday the police-office was exceedingly crowded, even to suffocation, in consequence of a trial that was expected to come on, in which two persons, one of whom was understood to be in rather comfortable cir cumstances, were charged with having entered into a conspi racy, and made an attempt, to set fire to no fewer than fifteen houses, for the purpose of defrauding the County Insurance Office of London. The circumstances of the case are as fol low :—On Saturday night last, the watchman on Stephen street station observed fire issuing from some empty houses in that street, and having given the alarm, the flames were subdued. On examining the premises, in order to discover the cause of the fire, a quantity of carpenter's shavings and sticks, piled, and covered with tar, were found, and amongst these were placed several lighted candles—the entire arranged in the most judicious manner possible for speedy combustion. The houses were insured, and had been occupied by improper persons, who were dispossessed at the last Quarter Sessions of this town, and since then the premises have been unlet. The houses intended to have been consumed, had the diabo lical arrangement taken effect, belong, we understand, to our respected townsman, Hill Hamilton, Esq., from whom they were held on lease by William M`Master. It appeared that the latter individual offered certain sums of money to Samuel Boyle, his own agent, and a carpenter named Nicholl, if they would set fire to the premises in question. Nichol had, how ever, after helping to set fire to the houses, and fearing an arrest, turned informer, and was a material witness in the case. M`Master and Boyle was committed to the assizes.— Belfast Times. A waterspout was seen in this neighbourhood on the after noon of Tuesday, the 25th ult. The now, which had fallen copiously during the early part of the day, had nearly ceased, but the mass of dark cloud was still sweeping along in a N. W . direction. It seemed to extend but a short distance sea ward, but was exceedingly dense at its western limit, where it appeared very much agitated by eddies. Fissures were sometimes produced, affording transient glimpses of the snow clad hills of Arran, bright with sunshine, in striking contrast with the deep gloom which intervened. The commotion of the elements became more distinct in consequence of the ceasing of the snow. A part of the snow-cloud approached the surface of the water, which then assumed a boiling aspect —appeared as if emitting steam—and rose vertically in vari ous places. In one instance the phenomenon referred to was distinctly formed. It appeared to rise from the surface of the water in the shape of a cone, communicating at its apex with an apparently aqueous column, ascending, perhaps, 100 feet. It expanded towards the top, forming an appearance very much resembling an inverted . cone, placed on an upri g ht one. The shaft presented a variety of aspects, at one time curving slightly in the direction of the current, at another as suming a serpertine form. The appearance was visible for about a minute. The direction of the wind immediately be yond could not be distinctly ascertained. A vessel was seen to the westward, but so obscurely as to leave the action of the wind on it indeterminate; she seemed to be affected (at least in anticipation), having diminished her display of canvass. A steamer, however, which appeared at a considerable distance to the S.W. had the wind In a direction nearly opposite to that which prevailed on shore. Such appearances are com mon in the Indian Ocean.—Ayr Advertiser. A very curious statistical return has just been furnished by Mr. E. Deas Thomson, Colonial Secretary, relative to our Australian colonies, exhibiting the progress they have made within the last ten years, which is in many respects very remarkable. For instance, the total val ue o f i m p or ts into New South Wales, including the district of Port Philip, was £604,620 in 1832, and £2,527,988 in 1841 ; the value of the exports was respectively at the same periods £384,344 and £1,023,397. These returns show the remarkable fact of a gradual increase of trade up to the year 1840, at which point it abruptly ceases; the next year showing a considera ble decrease. In the returns which regard the district of Port Philip separately, however, the same decrease is not observable in the exports. The amount for which this place figures in the total above stated for 1841 is, for imports £335,252, and £139,155 for exports. The total value of the imports of grain into the colony, including Port Philip, was, in 1832, £33,365, and in 1841, £201,632: the returns in this particular show the same decrease which affected the whole trade in 1841, the article flour and bread forming the sole exception, and, on the contrary, showing a considerable in crease. The return of land in cultivation throughout the whole colony, at the close of 1841, shows the principal pro duce to be wheat and maize, of which the number of acres is respectively 58,605 and 25,004, producing 832,776 bushels of the one, and 503,803 of the other. The number of ships built and registered in the colony was 21 in 1832, the total tonnage being 2,143; and in 1841 the number was 110, the tonnage being 11,250. The revenue from the sale of crown lands in the colony was, in 1832, £12,509 13s. 10d. ; in 1840 it was £316,626 7s. 5d., having gradually increased every year till then, and in 1841 it fell to £90,387. TILE SCOTCH Cu intcx.—Considerable a tt en ti on i s a t pre sent fixed upon the convocation now sitting at Edinburgh, t o deliberate upon several important questions which have for some time agitated the Scotch Church. Nothing is as yet known about the deliberations, but it has been rumoured, says the Glasgow Argus, that they are by no means at one in their views--a rumour which, we believe, had no better foundation than its extreme probability. The Scottish Guar dian of Tuesday. which may be supposed likely to have some channel of communication with those in the secret, says, ou the authority of a correspondent, that " their deliberations have been characterised by the most remarbable and grati fying unanimity" Another correspondent says:—" The spirit all along, upon the whole, has been good ; to-day Sa turday) perfectly delightful. The members have been firm, dmided, calm, and all but unanimous." If these assertions may be trusted. we may infer that the whole body almost all resolved upon holding the most uncompromising course, for such was the one strongly vindicated by Dr. Candlish, in his concluding remarks at the Commission on Wednesday. That the result of their deliberations will be an appeal of some sort or other to the Government and Legislature may be regarded certain. The issue will not probably be made known before the Convocation separates, if even immediately then. In the mean time, it can only be guessed at from the materials before our readers. The number of clergymen at tending it is stated variously. The Witness, a leading non intrusion journal, says 460 ; the Mercury states it at 500. It was expected that their consultation would be brought to a close on Wednesday or Thursday, (yesterday.) SOUTHEND.—SHIPWRECKS AND NARROW ESCAPE.— The 19th instant was a most beautiful day, the wind at S.W., when about nine o'clock in the evening it shifted to S.E., and began to blow a fresh breeze. About 12 o'clock the rain fell in torrents, and, the wind then blowing a strong gale, boats and vessels put off on the look out. They had not to go far to find a job, for directly off Southend lay not fewer than nine ships driven on that dangerous and well known sand, the Nore. The gale at this time had increased into a rerfect hurricane, and the destruction amongst the shipping was most dreadful, some drawing their anchors, running into each other, bulwarks cracking and smashing in every direction. When the anxiously-looked for daylight came, the water was covered with pieces of yards, masts, boats, spirits, &c. A large brig, called the Robinson, was seen to be in a dangerous situation, when one of the look out boats made to her, and remained by her but a little time, for they were obliged to hasten into the boat, and leave her, as she fell down on her beam ends, and became a total wreck in a-few minutes. The boats succeeded in saving the ship's crew, eight in number, and landed them safely at Southend. The Caroline brought in a s hip' s longboat, a seaman's chest, two hammoicks, &c. There was great alarm at one time, it being feared that the men had stopped too long by the Robinson, and bad gone down with her, but we are happy to state not a soul was lost. The Duke of Wellington smack, belonging to this place, succeeded in getting a schooner off the sand, and took her to Landon. Anchors and chains are to be found in numbers under the Nore. The yawls are coming in with coals, &c., which have besn taken from the ships that have been obliged to throw articles overboard. The Dart smack has brought in a ship's mainmast and rig ging, and the Southend watermen have not been so busy for some time. The James and Susan yawl put her boat off to a ship in distress but coOld not make her, and was blown away for some time.—Essex Herald. VESSELS ENTERED FOR LOADING. (SINCE OUR LAST PUBLICATION.)

Prevented by contrary winds, we had very few Corn vessels into this port up to the'close of last week, and although somewhat increased since, the arrivals of Grain fresh in for to-day are, upon the whole, rather limited, whilst of Irish Oatmeal and Flour we have to note a moderately fair supply, with 2334 barrels of the latter from the American States and Canada. Upon the appearance of several country millers and the usual number of local buyers at this day's market, the transactions in Wheat, although effected with rather less difficulty than last week, were by no means lively, and in order to induce the trade to purchase, even to a moderate extent, a further decline was complied with, thereby redu cing our quotations generally 3d. per 701bs. below the cur rency of this day se'nnight. English and Irish Flour gave way Is. per sack, as well as Canadian 6d. per barrel, all descriptions of this article having been taken off very sparingly. Oats continued to meet a very limited demand, and, not withstanding the scanty supply at hand, were the turn cheaper. Oatmeal was in slow request, at the full abate ment expressed in the preceding report. Barley, having been taken less freely, may be noted Is. per quarter lower; and Malt, Beans, and Pease remained in the same languid position as previously stated. THE, CHARTIST CONVICTS. As the trials of the Chartists are now over, and so much exaggeration and misrepresentation exists as to relative hea viness of sentences passed at the different Commissions, we cannot do better than give a tabular view of all the sentences hitheito passed upon rioters connected with the recent turn out. The table will serve to show the extent of the out break itself, and will, we doubt not, be preserved as an his toric memorial of a season of danger and difficulty unparal leled in these districts, since the days of King Ludd.

The above table embodies all the courts before which rioters have been tried, viz.,—the Assize-court at York, the Com missions at Chester, Liverpool, and Stafford, and the Ses sions at Salford, Preston, and Nottingham. In order to render the table complete, we give the following additional particulars in reference to the trials at York, Liverpool, and Stafford : York. Liv. Staff. Total. Discharged on recognizances 30 28 2 60 Traversed Acquitted So that, altogether, 78 Chartist convicts have been trans ported, 590 imprisoned for various terms to hard labour, (about 200 to one year and upwards), and 60 released on a bond of good behaviour, to receive judgment if broken. The thirty-three who have traversed are all Chartist leaders; and recent committals will, no doubt, have made up the number yet to be tried, at somewhere about half a hundred. Such are the judicial statistics of the most absurd of turn-outs. The pecuniary effects remain yet to be ascertained. The author of a numerous progeny of daughters, anxiously awaiting the arrival of another addition to his family, in the hope of being a son to inherit his father's name and property. was much downcast on hearing the announcement that an other daughter was born to him. A triend who stood by clapped him on the shoulder and said, " Never mind, my dear sir, you can have a Harry yet" (Harriet.) tt. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22.—Wind N.N.W. fresh.

Early in the morning the telegraphic despatch of the treaty of peace with China caused some excitement; few brokers showed their stocks, except at an advance upon yesterday's prices. As the day advanced, parties had pretty well canvassed the merits of the news, and thought it possibly might be a ruse. More Cotton was shewn, and upon the whole a fair extent of business has been done, say 5.000 bales. Surats a decided dearer, and American descrip tions at below 5 at full prices; in some instances, also, id. full higher; all other kinds without change. The market closes with great firmness, though without excitement. imparts. SOUTH AMERICA. Lancaster, (194) .1 C Wright, from Laguna, 245 tons logwood, order—G D UNITED STATES.

Total amount. Price. Wheat, qrs. Barley Oats LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. Nov. 23. The supplies are moderate of Wheat and Oats:and of Barley very large, but the trade is dull, even at the depressed prices of last market day. The whole prospects of the trade are extremely dull, and any change in the duties are difficult to be now foreseen. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET. Nov. 23. During the present week, as might be expected from t he7listress in the leading markets, very few operations in Wheat are reported, and though sales are not much pressed, a reduction of Is per qr. would be submitted to OD all descriptions. Malting Barley in slow request, at former currency ; nothing doing in grinding. Oats saleable at lower prices. Only retail parcels of Beans or Pease can be disposed of. COTTON MARKET, NOVEMBER .2t Since the arrival of the special mail from India, our market has " run riot," and we find it next to impossible to give a faithful report of what has been doing ; the sales, have reached Soot) bales per day, and we may safely write upon id lb advance, and in many instances id has been paid; this applies chiefly to the American descriptions below fivepence. Surat is in great demand, and has partaken of the advance, and the market closes with great excitement. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, NOVEMBER 24, 1842. We have a considerable amount of Potatoes to hand both horn the Isle of Man, Scotland and Ireland during the last week, and the business transacted has been on the most limited scale, this combined with the decline in the value of our local growth, has produced a corresponding depression for those in dock. and mate rially checked the operations of both our town retail trade, as well as the dealers from the interior. The market yesterday closed exceedingly heavy, and to-day there was only the most trivial retail demand, at prices ranging from 12d to ►4d per gull, for the best descriptions of Cups. One shilling per bushel has been the selling price for Ramsey Cups for transhipment into the interior. Our neighbouring farmers are free sellers, and the local markets are heavily stocked every morning with all descriptions of agri cultural produce. Potatoes V tb. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.
