13 ottrp. RECOLLECTIONS. BY THE LATE S. LOUISA P. SMITH. - . I've pleasant thoughts that memory brings, in moments free from care, - Of a fairy-like and laughing girl, with roses ; in her hair; Her smile - was like the star-light of summers softest skies, And worlds of joyousness there shone, from out her witch- ing eyes. Her looks were looks of melody, her voice was like the swell Of sudden music, notes of mirth, that of wild gladness tell ; She came like spring, with pleasant sounds of sweetness and of mirth, And her thoughts were those wild, flowery ones, that linger not on earth. A quiet goodness beam'd amid the beauty of her face, And all she said and did was with its own instinctive grace ; She seem'd as if she thought the world a good and pleasant one, And her light spirit saw no ill in all beneath the sun. I've dreamed of just such creatures, but they never met my view, 'Mid the sober, dull reality, in their earthly form and hue, And her smile came gently over me, like spring's first scented airs, And made me think life was not all a wilderness of cares. I know not of her destiny, or where her smile now strays, But the thought of her comes o'er me, with my own lost sunny days, With moonlight hours, and far-off friends, and many plea sant things, That have gone the way of all the earth on time's resistless wings. LITERARY NOTICES. The Commissioner, Nos. 9 and 10. Walmsley. Whoever the author of this work may be be is a queer fish, and possesses queer thoughts and fancies. The present numbers are decided improvements upon the last. It ap pears to us that the tale is approaching a termination. It is certainly the most original of the day. Portions of it are amusing, though the general plot and incidents are un likely—amidst a great deal of nonsense there constantly breaks out very apposite and trite remarks. The illustra tions are all admirable. Our Mess. By Harry Lorrequer. Walmsley, Liverpool. Jack Hinton, in this number, we find idling away his time with the Bellews, falling deeper and deeper in love with the " one fair daughter," and rescuing ber from a watery grave. A rencontre with Ulick Burke is well described. The fol lowing terrific recital by " Tipperary Joe" takes place while he and the dragoon are journeying together, the latter on his return to head-quarters : " Ay;'. cried he aloud, as his eye glistened with an unna tural lustre, " better be poor Tipperary Joe, without house or home, father or mother, sister or friend, and when the time comes, run to earth, without a wet eye after him." " Come, come, Joe, you have many a friend ; and when you count them over, don't forget me in the reckoning." " Whist, whist," he whispered in a low voice, as if fearful of being overheard, " don't say that—them's dangerous words." I turned towards him with a§tonishment, and perceived that his whole countenance had undergone a striking change. The gay and laughing look was gone ; the bright colour had left his cheek ; and a cold, ghastly paleness was spread over his features, and as he cast a hurried and stealthy look around him, I could mark that some secret fear was working within him. " What is it, Joe, said I ; " what's the matter ? Are you ill ? " No," said he, in a tone scarcely audible, " no ; but you frightened me just now, when,you called me your friend." ' How could that frighten you, my poor fellow ?" " I'll tell you—that's what they called my father—they said he was friendly with the gentlemen, and signs on it—" he paused, and his eye became rooted to the ground, as if on some object there from which he could not turn his gaze : " yes, I mind it well—we were sitting by the fire in the guard room all alone by ourselves—the troops was away, I don't know where—when we heard the tramp of men marching, but not regular, but coming as if they didn't care how, and horses and carts rattling and rumbling among them. " Thim's the boys,' says my father. ' Give me that ould cockade there till I stick it in my cap, and reach me over the fiddle till I rise a tune for them.' " I mind little more till he was marching at the head of them through the town, down towards the new college that was building—it's Maynooth I'm speaking about—and then we turned to the left, my father scraping away all the time every tune he thought they'd like ; and if now and then by mistake he played any thing that did not plaze them, they'd damn and blast him with the dreadfullest curses, and stick a pike into him, till the blood would come running down his back ; and then my father would cry out— " II tell my friends on you for this—divil a lie in it, but I will.' " At last we came to the duke's wall, and then my father sat down on the road sat, and cried out that he wouldn't go a step farther, for I was crying away with sore feet at the pace we were going, and asking every minute to be let sit down to rest myself. " ' Look at the child,' says he, ' his feet's all bleeding.' " 'Ye have only a little further to go,' says one of them that had cross belts on, and a green sash about him, "'The devil.resave another step,' says my father. " Tell Billy to play us " The Farmer's Daughter" before he goes,' says one of the crowd. " I'd rather hear " The Bowld Fox," says another. " ' No, no, " Baltiorum! Baltiorum! " ' say many more bchind. " Ye shall have them all,' say my father, and that 'ill plaze ye.' " And so he set to, and played the three tunes as beautiful as ever ye heard ; and when he was done, the man with the belts ups and says to him— " Ye're a fine hand, Billy, and it's a pity to lose you, and you friends will be sorry for you —and he said this with a grin—' but take the spade there and dig a hole, for we must be jogging, it's nigh day.' " Well, my father, though he was tired enough, took the spade and began digging as they told him, for he thought to himself, the boys is going to hide the pike and the carbines before they' go home. Well, when we worked half an hour, be threw off his coat and set to again ; and at last he got tired and sat down on the side of the big hole, and called— " Isn't it big enough now, boys?' " No,' says the captain, nor half.' " So my father set to once more, and worked away with all his might, and they all stood by, talking and laughing with one another. • " Will it do now ?' says my father; for sure enough I'm clean beat. " Maybe it might,' says one of them : lie down and see if it's the length. " Well, is it that it's for ?' says may father : fair, I never guessed it was a grave ;' and so he took off his cap and lay down his full length in the hole. " That's all right,' says the others, and began with spade and shovel to cover him up. At first he laughed away as hearty as the rest; but when the mould grew heavy on him he began to screech out to let him up, and then his voice grew weaker and fainter, and they waited a little, then worked harder, and then came a groan, qad all was still and they patted the sods over him and heaped them up ; and then they took me and put me in the middle of them, and one called out, March!' I thought I saw the green sod moving on the top of the grave as we walked away, and heard a voice half-choking calling out, ' There, boys, there 1' and then a laugh. But sure I often heard the same still, when there's nobody near me, and I do be looking on the ground by myself." ',I Great God !" cried I, " Is this true ?" "True as you're there,', replied he. I was ten years of age when it happened, and I never knew how time went since, nor how long it is ago, it w as i n t h e y ea r of the great troubles here • and the soldiers a n d th e coun t r y people never could be cru el to one another : and whatever one did to-day, the others would try to beat it out to-morrow. But it's truth every word of it ; and the place is called Billy the fool's grave' to this hour. I go there once a year to see it myself." This frightful story—told, too, with all the simple power of truth—thrilled through me with horror, long after the impression seemed to have faded away from him who told it ; and though he still continued to speak on, I heard nothing ; nor did I mark our progress until I found myself beside the little stream which conducted to the mill. An Elementary Introduction to the Nautical Almanac, and Astronomical Ephemeris, 8(c. By G. P. Payne, Optician, Liverpool. Charles Wilson, London ; Melling and Payne, Liverpool. This is a truly valuable work, not solely as "An Introduc tion to the Nautical Almanac," but as containing clear and familiar explanations of the whole of the technical terms and phenomena appertaining to the sublime science of astronomy; the whole illustrated by numerous diagrams, and rendered of easY comprehension by students even of moderate capacity. It forms, in fact, as stated in a secondary portion of the title page, "An Epitome of Astronomy." and will be found as en usefuland acceptable to the general student of that science shore, as to those who seek only to determine by planetary observation, the true position of a ship at sea, a pursuit whiah more fear, too generally neglected by nautical men, from the want of such an "instroduction" to smooth the diffi culties "countered in the onset, and who are thus thrown too exclusiv e l y upon a reliance on their chronometers. The author, in a v ery "Writers on eiembrief and unassuming preface, remarks : the information ntosellttal astronomy generally either reserve it on the supposition ,that sought by the curious, or detail at the reader is a mathematician. Undoubtedly no great m th gr at c h ss can be made in astronomy w ith o ut the aid of the math e ma tics , me di u m between a perfect aectuamma.tics, but there may be a tance with these abstruse stu di es and a sufficient knowledge t o make astronomical data easy of compr ehension.

" In this object, we think, t hose who but a moderate knowledge (like ourselv es ) of the science, will readily admit th at he has fully succeeded. The expla nations are indeed so c lear, and at the same time s. - compre hensive, that a comparatively slight study of the work will convey an entirely satisfactory knowledge of points w hi ch the perusal of most elementary treatises on the same subjects, left in cloudiness and doubt. The writer must have employed unwearied research of the voluminous works of celebrated men, and he has shown great judgment in the appropriation and condensation of such facts only as were necessary for the attainment of the object in view, without wearying the patience or perplexing the understanding by disquisitions unnecessarily abstruse. He has thus done an important service to students of astronomy in general, and to the nautical world in parti cular ; and his book should be in the hands of all seamen, young and old, who are honourably ambitious of perfec tin g themselves in the higher branches of navigation, by which the greatdesideratum of the longitude at sea can be accu rateetermined. The work is arranged alphabetically, and -is thus readily accessible for reference . The explana tions 'tinder th e f o l lowing heads, appear to us tobe pe culiarly lucid :—Abb erat i on, CentraForces, Comets , pression . , or Dip E cl i ptic, (with two lessons andD a map), Conic Sections, M oon, Notation, Mensuratio n , a (in c l u ding the motion of li g ht) Refraction ; the whole o of the articles under the general head The Solar Sys tem," " The Seasons," and those headed " Tides," "Time," and " Winds," all of which are exceedi ng l y lucid, and, we may add, interesting. The Diagrams are well executed, and by help of theie and the explanations accompanying them, we have, ourselves, readily arrived at a distinct perception of many problems which, we confess, we were unable fully to solve. We are glad to find, by a contemporary paper, that our talented townsman, Mr. Andrew Livingston, teacher of navigation and nautical astronomy, awards his high and va luable testimony in behalf of our author's production , of which he states amongst other commendations :—" I have never seen any work on the subjects treated of, so well adapted for the use of a student, and yet of such decided advantage even to those well versed in the science of astronomy." But we must select one or two paragraphs almost at random, as specimens of the clearness of the style of a volume the mo derate price of which is by no means adequate to its intrinsic value:— ABERRATION, (a deviation.)—Light occupies Bm. 13s. (8 minutes 13 seconds of time) in passing from the sun to the earth, and during this time the earth has moved 20s. (20 seconds of a degree, the entire orbit of the earth round the sun being reckoned as a circle of 360 degrees). At any in stant, therefore, the rays of light which reach the earth are those which left the sun Bm. 13s. previous, when the earth was in a different position with the sun to that which it oc cupies at the time of observation. This phenomenon is called aberration, and the luminous circle which may be seen around the real disc (face) of the sun (caused by the aberra tion of the solar rays) is called the crown of aberration. And as the akerration of the sun is owing to the motion of the earth in its orbit, so the aberration of a planet is due to the combined motions of that planet and the earth in their respective orbits. It is therefore said that the aberration of a planet is equal to the geocentric (see Geocentric) motion of the planet, or the space it appears to move over as seen from the earth, during the time the light occupies in passing from the planet to the earth. For the method of estimating the amount of aberration see mensuration. ClRCLES.—Astronomers imagine many great circles in the heavens, but three principal ones, from which they form the bases of all observations of the heavenly bodies. Every circle is called Great, the plane of which passes through the centre of the earth. The plane of a circle is an imaginary number of radii filling up the circle : thus the spokes of a wheel are the radii of the circle of, the wheel, and the radii with the axle compose theplane—the parchment of a drum is the plane of the circle on which the parchment is stretched. The first of the three great circles is the Rational Horizon. That circle made round our field of view at sea, by the water apparently touching the heavens, is called the apparent or visible horizon ; a circle drawn horizontally, or perfectly level, from the eye of an observer is the sensible horizon, and a circle whose plane passes through the centre of the earth is the rational horizon. The second great circle is the Equinoctial, or Celestial Equator, a circle of the heavens the plane of which is in continuation with the plane of the equator of the earth. The sun is on the equinoctial about the 21st of March and 21st of September, when equal days, and nights are over the earth. The equinoctial is traced by observing certain remarkable stars, to which the moon in her course seems to approach, and also by observing the position of the planets. The third great circle is the Ecliptic, or ap parent annual path of the sun, which also is traced by ob serving certain remarkable stars, the distance of which from the ecliptic have been accurately ascertained. TIDES.—The rotation of the earth on its axis, combined with the attraction of the sun and moon exerted on the fluid portion of the globe, occasions the phenomena of the tides. If the earth were at rest between the sun and moon, the waters immediately under the two luminaries would be raised by their attraction and remain permanently elevated ; but as the relative positions of all three bodies are continually un dergoing a change, so the attraction on the waters is conti nually shifting in position ; the attraction of the sun and moon being exerted in the same direction when the moon is new and full (or in conjunction with and opposition to the sun), forming the high or spring tides, and the attraction being divided in amount between that due to the sun and that due to the moon when the moon is in her first and third quarters ; the tides being then neap or lop. The elevation of the tide due to the sun is two feet and to the moon five feet; when, therefore, both the attractions are exerted to gether, the tidal wave near the equinoctial line, where the attraction is greatest, is seven feet high, and when the sun and moon are in quadrature (one-fourth of a great celestial circle apart), the height is about three feet, being the eleva tion due to the moon lessened by the attraction of the waters, in an angular direction, due to the sun. This article concludes with explanations of the great tidal waves, the theory of which is plainly shown. The "winds" are also explained in a similarly clear manner, and the utility of the barometer, particularly at sea, as affording indication of coming storms, is strongly urged; but we have not room for further extracts, nor can we quote from those articles which require diagraAss for elucidation ; and we therefore refer our astronomical readers to the work itself. PRESTON GUILD. Now that the tranquillity of the town and of the surround ing districts is perfectly restored, with every probability of its continuance, a great deal of interest is taken throughout the county at the approaching Guild Merchant Festival, the celebration of which only occurs once in 20 years. The guild of Preston is unique, there being no resemblance to a similar institution in any other part of the kingdom, whilst the me morials remaining in the archives of the corporation trace its first celebration to 1329, in the second year of the reign of Edward 111., since which period it has been held every , 20 years with scarcely any intermission. The " Guild Mer chant" is held on the Monday after the feast of the Decol lation of St. John the Baptist, and is always duly announced by advertisement in the London Gazette. The celebration has, at former periods, attracted a very large attendance of the surrounding nobility and gentry, and on the last occasion, in 1822, was attended by the late Earl and Countess of Der by, the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, Lord and Lady Skelmersdale, Mr. Justice Park, and many other distinguished visitors. Political excitement and agitation now being over, the present meeting is likely to be no less interesting and attractive, and amongst others who have put down their names as patrons, and many of whom have taken houses for the occasion, are the High Sheriff, the Duke of Hamilton the Earls of Balcarras and Sefton, Lord Francis Egerton, M.P. Lord Stanley, M.P.,Viscount Lindsay, Lord Skel mersdale, Lord Sandon, M. P., Sir P, H. Fleetwood, Bart., M.P., Sir Howard Douglas, .P., the Hon. R. B, Wilbra ham, M.P., Sir George Strickland, M.P., Sir Benjamin Heywood, Bart., Sir John Gerrard, Bart., Sir T. B. Birch, Bart., Sir Thomas de Trafford, Bart., Sir R. H. Leigh, Bart., Lieut-General Sir Thomas Whitehead, Sir George Drink water, Sir Thomas Brancker, P. Ainsworth , Esq., M.P. Blackburne, Esq., M.P., W. Fielden, Esq., M.P., J.W. Patten, Esq., M.P., C. Standish, Esq., M.P., G. Marton, Esq., M.P., and most of the leading gentry in the County, many of whom have expressed their intention of keeping open house on the occasion. In the list of patrons stands the name of Sir Robert Peel, whose presence, which was expected, will only be prevented by the pressure of official business. Everything has been done by the corporation, in whose hands the management of the affairs of the guild is vested, to keep up the interest which for,many centuries it has excited in this and the neighbouring counties. On Monday morning the business of the Guild Court will be transacted, the old and venerable guild books will be opened, and the legal business will be transacted. For the evening a grand display of fireworks is announced. On the Tuesday there will be a grand procession of the guild, the mayor, corporation, guild officers, and companies of trades and societies, to the parish church, where a sermon will be preached by the vicar, who is also chaplain to tie guild, and church service will be performed by several efficient vocalists. These bodies, which will be arranged by the marshalmen, are very numerous, consisting of Ist, tanners, skinners, cur riers, and . glovers ; 2d, cotton-spinners and weavers; 3d, cord wainers ; 4th catpenters ; sth, butchers ; 6th, vintners ; 7th, tailors; Bth, plasterers; 9th, Smiths ; 10th, gardeners; 11th, lodge of odd fellows ; 12th, printers and bookbinders ; 13th, lodge of freemasons. In the evening of this day there will be a grand concert of vocal and instrumental music. On the same day there will be a bazaar at St. Ignatius' Schools, in. the North-road, for the benefit of the Roman Catholic Col lege, near Leicester at which the Earl of Shrewsbury with his family, Lord Clifford, and several of the leading Roman Catholic families in this county, have signified their intention to be present. On Wednesday morning the mayoress's pro cession, with ladies, to the parish church will take place, when there will be performed Handel's sacred oratorio of Messiah. The leading singers engaged for the occasion are Miss Birch, Miss Stott, and Miss Maria Hawes, Mr. Hobbs. and Mr. Phillips, in addition to which, the orchestra, selected principally from Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester, will consist of 42 performers, and the chorus of 66 voices. This has always,been an occasion of particular interest, and at the last meeting the mayoress was followed by the Countess of Derby, Countess of Wilton, Lady Hoghton, Miss Hoghton, the Misses Stanley, daughters of Lord Stanley, and a retinue of at least six hundred ladies of the first distinction. On this evening there will be a grand dress ball. On Thursday morning the mayoress will give a grand public breakfast, after which both races and regatta are announced. A grand performance of sacred music will likewise take place at the Catholic chapel of St. Wilfred, comprising a selection from the Stabat Mater of Rossini, in which Signor Rubini, as well as Negri and Puzzi, and Mdlle. Pacini and Mdlle. Osterguard will take a part. In the even ing there will be a grand concert at which the above will attend. Friday morning will commence with races, after which the scholars of the various public, national, and Sun day schools wil be regaled with entertainments ; and in the evening there will be a grand costume ball, to provide for which several of the caterers for such amusements from London are present. The whole of the proceeds of the musical entertainments and the balls will after defraying the expenses, be applied for the benefit of the pablic charities of the town._ _ _ . _ _ A very large influx of strangers is anticipated during the ensuing week, and demands for accommodation have increased accordingly. Next to the visit of her Majesty to Scotland, this will prove the most exciting occasion to the haut monde in this part of the country in the ensuing week. A grand fete will, it is understood, be given at Ravens worth Castle, early in October, in honour of the corningo age of H. Liddell, Esq. The Duke of Cambridge visited the coal-mines of Durham on Wednesday last, and inspected the various operations of the colliers and their machinery.. It is rumoured at Aylesbury that Captain Hamilton, M.P. is about to take up a three years residence in British India. If true, this will create a vacancy in the election for the bo. rough. REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF FLOUR.—The Sheffield poor-law guardians have c ontracted for a supply of three hundred sacks of bread flour, containing in all 5,400 stones, at two shillings per stone. The notorious Vidocq, whose memoirs excited so great an interest some few years ago, and who has for some time past been employed in recovering debts, &c., has been arrested, with one of his clerks named Gouffe, for illegally confining an individual and compulsorily obliging him to execute certain deeds. of TR - 17 E N D I UNIVERSITY E T Y OF OF AI L .

It is said that the Marquis of Westminster gives to each of his granddaughters lately married one hundred thousand pounds. The-exportation of cattle from Belgium to England has commenced. The Belgian sloop Union has just sailed from Ostend with forty-six oxen on board. Water has become so scarce at Derry, that it is sold at the rate of 2d. per can. This circumstance is owing to the long continued drought. THE QUEEN'S TOUR.—Her Majesty, it is said, has ex pressed a wish to visit all the scenes of Sir Walter Scott's novels, The law appointments have been definitely settled, and Mr. Jackson may now be considered a Judge in the. Court of Common Pleas, being succeeded in his late office by Mr. T. B. C. Smith, who is now the solicitor-General.—Dublin Evening Mail. At no period were so many deaths known to have occurred by the practice of bathing in the Thames between Southwark and Blackfriars bridges, as within the last fortnight, during which period no fewer than nine lives have been lost and only three of the bodies found.

There died lately, says a German paper, in the village of Felsoe Foerock, in Transylvania, a farmer named Terebesi, in the 135th year of his age. He always enjoyed good health, and worked in the field until , just before his death. Mr. Campbell, of Islay, in the presence of the Duke and Duchess of Argyll and the Marquis of Lorn, from his pool in the Langan, caught in one draught 557 fish. Mr. Camp bell then proposed to the duke to apply, the net to that part of the pool from which 1,021 had been taken a few weeks ago, but his grace remarked that enough had been killed for one day. DEAR BREAD.—Several of the metropolitan journals are agitating the question of the dearness of bread, and making enquiry whether the bakers and millers are justified in ob taining such great profits. The following calculation appears on the subject in the Morning Herald, from one of the cor respondents of that paper :—" I have understood that a quarter of wheat, of middling quality, will yield in flour about 392 pounds of flour, and that 392 pounds of flour will make about 130 four-pound loaves. If so, and the price of a quarter of wheat is 545., that is equivalent to sd. the loaf, as 130 loaves at sd. each amount to 545. 2d. Why, then, is the consumer charged Sid. or 9d. for his loaf? Is the expense of grindine the corn and making the bread equal to nd. or 4d. the loaf, in addition to the profit of the bran and pollard ? DEATH OF MR. LONGMAN, OF PATERNOSTER-ROW.— It is with much grief that we have to announce the decease, at an early hour this morning; at his residence at Hampstead, of Thomas Norton Longman, Esq., the eminent bibliopolist, of Paternoster-row. This melancholy event arose from his horse having fallen with him on Wednesday last, by which accident the unfortunate gentleman was precipitated to the ground with much severity, as to occasion considerable in jury to the spine, from which he never recovered. Mr. Long man was as much distinguished by his amiable and unas suming qualities in private life, as by the extent and integrity of his commercial dealings. He was in his 72d year.— Standard. THE ROYAL MAIL COMPANY'S STEAMER TAY.—We take blame to ourselves for not having earlier mentioned the regu larity of departure and arrival of this vessel on its late service ; especially so, as the line of steamers had hitherto been sub jected (and justly so) to a great deal of censure upon this point. It now clearly appears from this latter circumstance, that the arrangements contemplated are becoming so complete, as almost to ensure a certainty to passengers, that no morti fication or inconvenience will hereafter arise, excpt such as may happen through those causes over which the parties can have controul. The Tay completed her recent trip, within a fraction, we may say, of the time in which it was calculated she would perform it. This looks well.—Guiana Times. NELSON'S MONUMENT, TRAFALGAR-SQUARE.—It will be recollected that, some weeks ago, a large block of stone, from Scotland, presented by his Grace the Duke of Buc clench to the committee for erecting Nelson's monument, was deposited in the space of ground appropriated for its re ception at Trafalgar-square. Since then a large and well lighted wooden shed has been built over the same, to protect the sculptor from the inclemency of the weather during the continuance of the task he has undertaken to perform, which he commenced a few days ago. The entire figure of Nelson will be formed or chiselled out of this immense mass of stone, with the exception of the head and shoulders, for which another block will be re quired. Some idea may be formed of its magnitude when it is known that it weighs 32 tons, is 12 feet high, 7 feet wide, and 6 feet thick. The pedestal and column are proceeding with great rapidity, and, notwithstanding the delay oc casioned by the strike of the masons a few months ago, it is believed that the column will be ready for the reception of the statue very little over the time originally contemplated. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.—After all, there is likely to be a contest, and judging from the equal premises of the two candidatep, it will no doubt be a severe one. A requisition from several of the heads of the college was this afternoon in course of signature, addressed to Mr. T. B. Smith, who is understood to have received the appointment of Solicitor- General, soliciting that gentleman to stand for the vacancy in the representation created by the elevation of Mr. Devon sher Jackson to the judicial bench, and it is reported that should Mr. Smith accede to the terms of the requisitionists, he will have the weight of government support in his favour. Mr. Hamilton, notwithstanding these adverse circumstances, is determined not to withdraw his claims on the electors, a vast number of whom have already decided on supporting him, in preference to any other candidate whatsoever. The contest, should it be persevered in, will place both parties in a very embarrassing position. Mr. Hamilton started with the full knowledge and sanction of the Irish government, and his withdrawal at the present juncture, when it is, of neces sity, found that one of the law officers of the crown should have a seat in parliament, would lead to the suspicion that henceforward the representation of College was to be but the :tro t owios it is egotaoi e p hhnusdn l egtkiyaemhctnwoe.hpefi, positioneodt electors sccis; and boil bnoet 000ns t ftthtmoithaathheuldt the wee, rtpncoecrhai constituency etsrpdihe;eieensclrilstjetieflhvmow University,eeerbhckaatme truth, nrcom prisingrnheeyagro;tosidnhtstaosohienmnureodger w s ho i u g l should be nominationbt he o thisis h h n iens the ot t choice h c t a oh n i difference ac d te i in the extreme.—London Times.—[The Dublin Evening Mail mentions something similar to this, but says there is no foundation for such statements.] OPENING OF THE SOUTHAMPTON DOCKS.—SOUTHAMP TON, AUGUST 29.—The tidal-dock of this great national commercial undertaking was opened this afternoon. Although no official notice of the event had been given by the direc tors, long before the hour reported, when the first vessel was to enter the magnificent dock, thousands of persons had congregated around the walls to witness the ceremony, if ceremony it may be called. The directors of the company arrived from London during the morning ; and it was ar ranged that the Tagus, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company, should be made use of to open the docks pro forma". She was accordingly decked out in her various colours, and proceeded from the quay to the con fluence of the river Itchen, for that purpose ; when the Little Liverpool, also belonging to the same company, was disco vered steaming up the river from Gibraltar. This apropos circumstance induced the directors to lay to for a quarter of an hour, to give the Liverpool time to reach her, and enter first, with her passengers and cargo of goods. In the course of a few minutes she passed the entrance to the dock into its basin, amidst the cheers of the assembled multitude, the firing of cannon, &c. ; and shortly afterwards a part of her cargo was landed, and sent off per rail to town, where it ar rived in due course this evening, thus giving a remarkable instance of despatch ; and showing at the same time the im mense advantage Southampton has over any other port in the kingdom for the landing and transmission of foreign goods to the metropolis. To those of our readers who are unacquainted with this stupendous undertaking, it may be as well to remark en passant, that the tidal-dock is the largest in England, the inside, from wall to wall, covering an area of 16 acres. It is excavated to that extent, that there will be always 18 feet water at low water spring tides. The open ing is 150 feet in width, thus admitting vessels of almost any tonnage. A shed is now buildirig on the north-east side, 360 feet in length, and 50 feet wide in the ,floors, for the storeage of goods, from which a tram-way leads to the rail way station, distant about 300 yards. This dock was com menced three years ago (in October next), at a cost of about £140,000, and, bad it not been for unforeseen causes, would have been opened for traffic some time since. The vessels belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental and the Royal West India Mail Company will henceforth make use of it; and no doubt every vessel of consequence will take advan tage of the facilities thus offered for landing and shipping goods. The latter company have contracted for a use of a portion of the dock for the sum of £2OOO per annum. There is another dock, now in progress, called the inner or wet dock. It is impossible to state when this will be finished. Want of funds prevents that accomplishment for the present. This dock covers an extent of 14 acres, and is the nearest to the town. AFFECTING CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Wednesday, the 10th current, a stout good-looking man, five feet eight or nine inches high, apparently of the age of 24 years, fair hair, and yellowish bushy whiskers, landed from the Liverpool steamer, at Annan M'aterfoot. He inquired for a quiet lodging, as he proposed resting for a few days, and was conducted to the house of Widow Beatie, residing in Port-street. During the night he was sick and restless, and in the morning swallowed a cup of tea, without tasting bread. He then went out with the expressed intention of calling at a barber's shop, and returning immediately. But, from whatever cause, he has never since been heard of. He was dressed in moleskin trousers and waistcoat, wove sleeves, a white shirt, a cap stemmed and furred, Wellington boots. The box he left at the lodging was addressed " James Smith," and the way farer talked as if he belonged to Ayrshire. After some delay the box was opened by. the Procurator, Fiscal to the burgh, in the presence of Bailie Sawyer, and an invetory . taken of its contents, consisting of a quantity of joiner's tools, and body clothes. On the latter there are no marks, and on the former simply the maker's name, " Henderson, Greenock." From a memorandum found, it appears that poor Smith had sailed from Greenock for America, on the 14th of May last ; and as the box in question is an old commercial packing one, and its tradesman contents incomplete, it seems probable that he had sold his tool chest, to raise money sufficient to carry him back to this country. In the course of conversation, he told Mrs. Beatie that although he had been in various parts of the United States, he could find no employment, and that he would never, he rather thought, travel more unless he had the misfortune to be banished. There is something strange and suspicious in the disappearance of this wanderer ; for had not something serious or fatal occurred, it seems most certain he would either have returned to his lodging, or sent for his property.—Dußfries Herald.

The roof was time beautifully studded with sparkling stalacites the sides rose small pillars of white semi-transparent car reous spar disposed in some degree like the Anglo-Se:9a architecture of some of the ancient monasteries. But the ' great influx of visitors has robbed the grotto of its attractions and the choicest of its finely-moulded images have been carried away, not entire, but broken into fragments for mantle-piece relics. Several years ago,: when the late Duke of Northumberland kept a pack of hounds at Hulne West Park, two of the hounds pursued a fox into this cavern, an d were unable to find their way out. Some men who proceeded in search of them day after day heard the barking and cr i es of the dogs, and one man went so far that he heard the people of Hobberlow, a hamlet about a furlong distance of the entrance, stir their fire above him. One of the dogs Was brought out on the 15th day of its imprisonment, and the other on the 16th day, in a famished and emaciated condition, and unable to walk home.—Tyne Mercury. DEATH FROM LIGHTNING.—During 'the prevalence of the thunder-storm yesterday morning, an old man, aged 66, and a boy, farming servants in the employ of Mr. Abbott, farmer, Thorney Hail, near Stowupland, were struck by the electric fluid and instantly killed. They had, it appears, with great imprudence, taken refuge under a tree from the lightning.—lpswich Express. CRICKET.—KENT V. ALL ENGLAND. —On Saturday this, the third match which has been played this season be tiveen eleven of Kent and a similar number chosen from the other counties of England, was concluded, after three days' play, commencing on Wednesday last, at Bromley, when, contrary to general anticipation, the Kentish party were completely defeated, their adversaries winning the match with ten wickets to go down. It is not generally known, although it is a positive fact, that the executors of the late Marquis of Hertford, having failed in convicting Suisse in the Central Criminal Court, have commenced a civil action against him for £BO,OOO. On Saturday a judge's warrant was issued for his apprehension, The bail that would have been required is £160,000. — Morning paper. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, AUGUST 29.—There has been an improved demand for flannels to-day, and the buyers have purchased very freely ; but the manufacturers have not been able to get any advance in price. The wool market has been very dull, and a very limited quantity of business has been transacted at former prices. STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, AUGUST 31.—There was no material change in the state of the market yesterday. Owing to the continued absence of a large portion of the factory hands from their employment, the amount of busi ness done is still limited, and prices are very irregular. Ge nerally speaking, they were rather higher yesterday than on the preceding Tuesday ; and the demand, especially for yarn, continues to be extensive. Until the factories resume work, however, no decisive opinion can be formed as to the actual state of the market. ATTACK OF AN ELEPHANT.—An accident occurred at Hawkhurst fair, which had nearly proved fatal to one of the inhabitants of the place, by an attack from one of the ele phants in the fair. It appears that Mr. Richard How and his wife were among the, company who had gone into the booth or show to view this animal, and, like many others, had been treating the elephant to some of the delicacies which are to be purchased at all country fairs. He had just turned his back about to leave the place, when the elephant twisted his trunk round him, and threw him with great violence against the sides of the place, breaking two or three of his ribs, and otherwise much injuring his shoulder, &c. When down, the elephant endeavoured to tread upon him, first, however, picking his pocket of the only remaining apple in it ; and had it not been for a piece of timber which fortunately lay on the ground between his foot and Mr. How, his destruction would have been inevitable. Mr. How owes the preservation of his life entirely to this fortu nate circumstance, added to the prompt and kind assistance he met with from a neighbour.—Maidstone Journal. • PARLIAMENTARY SPEECHES.—The Atlas gives a tabular view of the numbers of speeches delivered by various mem bers of Parliament during the last session.

" DRUMS, TRUMPE TS , BLUNDERBUSSES, GUNS, AND THUNDER !"-" Bell korrida bells War's rude alarms kc.—The Carescent City has given vent to the following ominous paragraph : 7 " A QUESTION.—The emi gration from England into this country is greater than has ever been known, and our affairs, it is said, are getting cri tical again with that country. Are these pauper emigrants soldiers in disguise ? or ready to be made such on a declara tion of hostilities ! We only ask for information." And They you shall have it. All the " pauper emigrants" ar e " so ldi ers in disguise." are formed into " ragged reg i men t s ," and are secretly drilled by efficient officers every dark even when " the moon is seen behind a cloud," armed with hoe handles, hi c k o ry sticks, bean-poles, and cott on um b re ll as. They ave battering-trains of quakers furnished by the emigrant packet -ships, and go forth to drill armed with mighty slings. Some of them are paid a dollar a day to dig ditches in order to learn them how to prepare entrenchments. Perhaps they will rise to-morrow morning, wherefore it be hoves the Crescent to be wide awake, and ready to turn " those scissors into daggers." CARLISLE. —The " strike " has reached our own doors. The greater part of the workmen in Carlisle have this week left their employment, some through choice and some through fear. What the precise object of the tur n - ou t i s , no one can tell. In no case have the e mployers been called upon for an advance of wages, and in many cases the workmen have ex pressed themselves satisfied with their condition. What, then, is the object of the present movement ? The more ardent spirits say it is to obtain the Charter, an that they will not return to work till that end has been accomplished. What chance they have of securing this object, without a violent convulsion, we are unable to conceive, and have not heard explained. And, even if a violent convulsion should follow the present movement, those who are engaged in it cannot but see that it may not result in the establishment of the Charter, though it possibly might in a despotism. Authority is too strong in this country to be set aside by mere mob law. So far as the turn-outs have proceeded in this town, they have showed no intention to injure life or property, except the property of the men of their own class— we mean the property which every man has in the labour of his own hands. By compelling those who are willing to work to cease from labour, they are robbing the men of the fruits of their industry, and reducing their families to beg gary and ruin. This is a species of tyranny more intolerable than anything which the Charter could upset. No man has a right to interfere with the wishes of another to labour upon a ny terms he pleases; and the man so interfered with is robbed to the precise extent of the value of the labour he is prevented from performing. There are hundreds of the workmen now " out " who know that nothing but evil to themselves and others can result from the present insane movement. Why do they submit to be tyrannized over by a few, whose objects they know to be improper, and whose characters they despise? It is a tame submission to dicta tion, which we trust they will speedily cast aside, and in doing so they will have the support of every right-thinking and honest man.—Carlisle Journal. At the Court of Assizes of Vaucluse, last week, a young man, named Joseph Chaix, of mild appearance and agree able features, was tried for the murder of his own father. It appeared from the evidence that a man and his wife. named Monge, who lived in the house adjoining that of the deceased, heard a violent shock against the partition of their room, as if some person had fallen. They merely concluded, however, that their neighbour had returned home drunk, and had tumbled down in his bed-room. Happening to meet the prisoner in the morning, they informed him of their suspicions, and recommended him to ascertain whether his father had not hurt himself. The son knocked at the door, and receiving no answer, sent for a smith to pick the lock. The latter, seeing some drops of blood near the spot, refused to interfere, without an order from the authorities. The commissary of police arrived, and the door being opened, a horrid spectacle presented itself ; for there lay the old man, half naked, and covered with blood—a long rope round his neck, pressing it most violently—the skull broken in four places, and a number of bruises on the face and shoulders. The handle of a flail was found in the middle of the room, and behind the door a spade, covered with blood, and with some grey hairs of the deceased sticking on the iron. The whole place was in disorder, and outside, all down the stairs, drops of blood could be perceived. Joseph Chaix remained at the door, when this dreadful spectacle struck all the other spec tators with feelings of horror, without testifyfng the slightest emotion. This conduct excited suspicion, and his lodgings being searched ablouse was found there covered with blood, still fresh and wet. When this was produced, Joseph Chaix acknowledged himself to be the murderer, but refused to enter into any particulars. Subsequently he became more communicative, and stated that, being in great distress from the niggardly disposition of his father, and the latter having, after a sharp altercation, threatened to sell his farm and leave his son unprovided for, he determined to prevent this act, and gratify his spirit of animosity against the old man by putting him out of the way. He accordingly provided himself with a flail, and when he thought he was asleep crept up stairs to his room and. struck him a violent blow with the instrument. His victim immediately jumped up, and after another blow being given, by which the flail was broken, a horrible struggle took place between the father and son. The father was dragged out of the room by the son, tumbled down the stairs with dreadful violence, leav ing marks of blood on every step, and dashed aga i nst the hall-door. he had strength ensa.igh, however, to servori up and renew the struggle, biting his . aggressor st vigorously. .The son, exasperated by this, exerted all his strength, and dashed him ag ainst the wall with. a force that shook the whole building. The old man was stunned by this blow, and the son, tying a rop e round his neck, d rew it as tight as he could. He then took him back to the bed room , him with t he and threw him down. The old man showing si gns of life, the son again attacked him, and despatched spade, which happened to be lying in the room, This fright ful scene lasted nearly an hour . Th e parricide then locked the door, and having thrown t he key in throu g h the window, went home, washed his hands , a nd retired tran quilly to bed , without disturbing his wife , who was a s lee p . On the trial the jury found him at once guilty , but wi t h e xtenuating cir cumstances. This verdict excited surprise, and the Pro cureur de Roi demanded that the jury should be sent back to complete their verdict, nothing having been stated to show that it was passed by a majority of votes, as the law required. C After some time the jury returned with a gr ave aspect, and gave in a verdict of guilty, without extenuatin g cirum , and ord er ed t o be executed in one of the pu blic squares of Ca r p en t ras. stances. Chaix was then sente nced to death LIVERPOOL DISTRICT PROVIDENT SOCIETY. WEEKLY REPORT ON TOE MENDICANT BOARD. From the 24th to the 30th Aug. 1842, both days inclusive.

ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND MAIL, We have just received by extraordinary express from Paris the following telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles, dated the 30th August, at seven o'clock in the morning : "MALTA, AUG. 26. " The Great Liverpool, which arrived this evening at five o'clock, with the dispatches from India, brings the following news from Jellalabad, and from the camp of General Pollock. They are dated the 22nd June, and are of the most dismal description. • Sickness, extreme heat, the want of food, and the simoons, are decimating the army. The discontent and the inaction in which the army is left are at its height. " Ukbar Khan has seized the Bala Hissar, and the trea sures which were left there. __"The Governor-General has given full permission to Ge neral Pollock to act as he may think proper. " Symptoms of mutiny have shown themselves among the Sheiks. "The news from Candahar is to the 11th of June, and it is without interest. "Nothing important has taken place in China. It is said that the Emperor has fled into Tartary, "The preparations for marching upon Chapoo were com pleted ; but the army remained in a state of inaction, and seemed to be completely overcome by discouragement."

The supplies of all kinds of grain throughout last week were tolerably good, particularly of Foreign Wheat, of which 64,410 quArters arrived during the week. The demand was altogether of a languid character, with a tendency rather to go lower in prices than the reverse, and on Friday Wheats receded from 2s to 3s per quarter. To this morning's market the supply of English samples fresh up was moderate. The Wheat being mostly new, and some of a very fine description, the trade opened dull, and must be quoted 4s cheaper than this day week, or about is lower than on Friday. The demand for free Foreign is confined to the finer de scriptions, the millers buying in limited quantities to supply imme diate wants. In Barley there is scarcely any trade passing, and prices undergo no change. Oats are a dull sale at last week's prices. Foreign of low middling description extremely difficult to quit. Beans and Peas unaltered, a few samples of New Beans of fine qualities offering. In Flour we hear of no alteration up to this hour, 12 o'clock. Canary Seed appeared for the first time, and re alised 80s to 85s per quarter. All other Seeds in fair demand at last week's prices. MEETINGS OF CREDITORS FOR LIVERPOOL. SEPTEMBER.

WARRINGTON CORN MARKET, AUGUST 30. Total quantities. Total amount. Price per quarter. Wheat, qrs. 66 Oats, „ 57 SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, AUGUST 29. —.- Our anticipations expressed on Friday last respecting to-day's market have been realised. The late rains have been general throughout the country, and the prospect of an increase of " keep" everywhere spoken of. The supplies of Cattle to-day were rather larger than ordinarily, from the expectation of an increased de mand for Cattle for "stock." Of Horned Cattle we had upwards of 3,00 head, and of Sheep and Lambs nearly 31,000. The trade was generally brisk, and higher prices in most cases demanded and readily obtained. Total clearances were effected at an earlier hour than usual, LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 29. With the exception of a further good quantity of foreign Wheat, there is little addition•to the arrivals reported at the close of the week ; but we may shortly look for regularly increasing supplies of Irish produce, a few scanty lots only of which have as yet come to hand. At this day's market there was a good attendance of both town and country millers, and the transactions in Wheat, though by no means extensive, were to a tolerably fair amount, at the currency of this day se'nnight : several par cels were taken on speculation, and upon the whole a less anxious disposition to press sales was observable. Good fresh brands of Flour met a steady sale at full prices, but all inferior qualities continued neglected. Grinding Barleys and Pease are offered on lower terms, without finding buyers to any extent. Beans in limited request, but not cheaper. Old Oats were almost without inquiry to-day, still we repeat our last quotations. Both old and new Oatmeal were in better demand for the country, and obtained 6d. per load advance. A small lot of new Irish White Oats brought 3s. per 451b5., and Black 2s. Bd. per 451bs. PREMIUMS OF INSURANCE AT LLOYD'S. LONDON & LIVERPOOL, Jamaica Leeward Isl. Dem. & Berbice.
