Ebenezer. By J. G. Lazarus. Nisbet, London. The author of this work is the superintendent of the institution established in this town for inquiring Jews. The publication is replete with interest, and details the most remarkable incidents in the life of Mr. Lazarus, both before and subsequently to his conver sion to the Christian faith. Mr. Lazarus is a native of Riga, in Russia, and, like most of his persuasion in that country, was a zealous and consistent Jew, de votedly attached to the religion of his forefathers, and "walking in all the ordinances of the law blameless." After experiencing the most painful sufferings and mi raculous deliverances, Mr. Lazarus was condemned for some breach of the law to serve for ever in the Russian army. He would here have been compelled to the performance of many superstitious acts which were most grievous to him as a Jew, and the anticipations of which preyed so much on his spirits as to induce him to fly his native land and strive to seek his fortune in England. In his journey hither he was subject to the most heartrending privations, and was compelled to endure the scoffs and tauntings of those who ought to have assisted him. Some short time after his arri val he had put in his hands a tract unfolding the beau ties of the Christian faith in opposition to the errors of the Talmudical traditions. This led to inquiry ; and Mr. Lazarus, after many interviews with a clergyman in London, and after many misgivings and doubts, determined to adopt the Christian religion and forsake the errors of Judaism. The book is written with con siderable talent and pathos, and gives a description of most of the Jewish ceremonies and customs. A strain of evident sincerity pervades the work, and the deter mination of our author seems to have been to retain an opinion only so long as he was convinced of its truth. We cordially recommend this work to the pe rusal of all who feel the slightest interest in the welfare of the house of Israel, as there is every probability that it will tend to remove much misapprehension which we fear exists at present respecting that preju diced but ill-used people. The work is dedicated to the Rev. Hugh M`Neile, and a neat and well-written preface precedes the narrative. The Voluntary Principle, Payment of Church-rates, &c. Liverpool: H. Perris. The able minister of St. Augustines, Everton, has published a Second Letter in reply to the Rev. James Harper on the important and interesting question of Church Establishments, and the various duties and obligations connected therewith. The reverend author handles his subject in a very masterly manner, and closely follows his dissenting adversary through all his' sinuosities, leaving him, ere he concludes, no loophole for escape. The great acumen and vast resources which Dr. Tattershall brings to bear on every subject which he takes in hand, are well known in Liverpool, and on this subject it would be superfluous in us to say anything. In the present publication he fully sus tains his deservedly high reputation, and we would re commend all who wish to see disputing subterfuges hunted down, and their sophistical cobwebs destroyed, to study it carefully. The reasoning is close, search ing, and irresistible. One would think that we should hear no more of the same scruples and tenderness of dissenting consciences after this able and conclusive expose. We subjoin an extract, and much regret that the limits of our space necessarily confine us in the extent of our selection : Hitherto, we have been engaged with the objections urged by Mr. Harper, against Church Establishments, on the ground of their supposed inaptitude to promote Missionary objects. We now turn to a different form of objection • namely, that which arises from the violence, which i s a ll eg ed to be offered to the CONSCIENCE of Dissenters, in being compelled to con tribute to their support. . . And this ground of complaint or objection, is one upon which Dissenters appear to set a high value ; if, at least, we may judge from the sensitiveness which they exhibit, when they see the approach of the dissecting-knife, and witness its application to their favorite. _ The total invalidity of any objection of this kind, was pointed out by me, in my former letter, in a passage which Mr. H. has quoted, although with the omission of one very material step ; and stood as follows :—" The case," (that is, the support of religion by the State) is one, upon which in dividual conscience is not in the smallest degree concerned ; the legislature makes laws—law is the foundation and fur nishes the definition of property : that part of the produce of labour, which the law assigns to each individual person, that, and no more, is his property. And that part of the produce of the same labour, which the law assigns to other purposes—the support of religion, or any other object—that belongs to the parties to whom the law assigns it, for the purpose of being applied to its destined use. Every man's conscience is concerned exclusively with his own actions, and has, therefore, much to do with the disposal of his own pro perty; but it can have nothing to do witn that which is not his own. And the portion of the annual proceeds of labour, appointed by the law for the support of religion, is not his own ; therefore his conscience c a nno t b e affected by its ap plication to that purpose." Now, in this argument Mr. Harper has not attempted to point out any fallacy • he has, however, best owe d upon it a few remarks, intended, no doubt, to evade its force; which, had they proceeded from any other quarter, I should have thought deserving of being regarded as an attempt, on the part of their author, to raise a cloud of dust over the subject in discussion, that he might make his own escape under cover of the darkness created. But coming from Mr. H., I am convinced the case is otherwise ; and that they are only to be looked upon, as another instance of that singular con fusion of ideas, of which we have seen so many instances before. " If the property of the subject," says Mr. H., " is taken from him by force, he is exempt from blame, because in sur rendering it he does not fulfil the law—the law vindicates or avenges itself." Very true: and what will the subject him self have been doing in the meanwhile ? retaining possession of that which the law—the only thing which can declare what is and what is not the property of the subject—the only thing which can declare upon what conditions property can be held—has declared to belong to other persons, and to be not his. Now there is a law which requires a man to " render tribute to whom tribute is due," and to " owe no man any thing, but to love one another." And here then, where his own actions are concerned, is the proper place for conscience to exercise its office, and require conformity to the standard of duty. But, instead of this, the party in question violates this holy law, and withholds what is due to others, because, forsooth, these others will apply it to what he deems a sinful purpose—a matter in which their conscience only, and not his, can possibly be concerned. " In this case," continues Mr. Harper, " the subject who loses his property for a bad—though for a legal —purpose, is precisely in the position of one who should be compelled, by physical coercion, to bend the knee to Juggernaut, or to do military honors to the image of the Virgin. But if the sub ject of military law were, on command, to perform those acts of superstitious obeisance, his conscience would be defiled. The law that enjoins such conduct is, therefore, an outrage on conscience. As such, a man is bound to meet its claim by passive resistance, and to seek its repeal through the con stitutional channels of redress. Precisely parallel is the case of money." These remarks relating to acts of service which cannot be separated from the party performing them, appear to me to be perfectly correct. And, no doubt, a person from whom money is taken by force —as, for instance, by robbery —cannot be responsible for the application made of it by the parties who have committed the violence. But in the case of money exacted in conformity with the law of the land, and of which all right of retention, control, or disposal, is alto gether separated from the party required to pay it, no ex ercise of violence can be necessary to render such party irresponsible for the application, by the right owners, whether to good or evil purposes, of any sums which he is required to pay to such owners, or persons to whose charge the law has ass►gned it. _ . _ Mr. Harper observes, in p. 38—" There is another view of the subject which I would recommend to Dr. Tattershall's attention. In his enumeration of the obligations of a citizen, does this consideration hold no place, that the subject is morally responsible for the state of the law, and for the acts of the legislative body ?" My answer is, that, in my view, every citizen is so responsible, to the extent of the influence which God has given him ; and that I think him bound, in conscience, to employ that influence, in a Christi an sp i r i t, and a constitutional manner, to rectify every thing, in the existing state of the law, which he may really believe or judge to be wrong. I would myself, for instance, petition the Le gislature to abolish the pilgrim tax in India, to m o dify th e articles of war, so as to exempt our military from all partici pation in services of a superstitious or idolatrous character ; to abolish the Maynooth grant, &C. The subject should form his judgment, having considered the real merits of the case, with care ; maintain it with firmness, as long as he is convinced of its correctness ; and urge it upon the considera tion of the Legislature with all respectful earnestness. This is conduct worthy of a good citizen. It is no part, however, of the same conduct, nor does it manifest any independence, or greatness of mind, to conjure up fictitious grievances, to make pitiful complaints of non-existent evils, or to plead the claims of conscience, in cases where conscience cannot come into operation. I grant that where a person imagines his conscience to be invaded, he is exposed to suffer much dis tress of mind ; and most sure I am, that the subjects of such a delusion are fit objects for the most tender sympathy. But it would not on that account be just, nor would it be even pos sible, so to frame the laws of a country as to accommodate the varied erroneous views and impressions of all the mem bers of the community. The true remedy for such an un happy state of mind, is to obtain more accurate instruction, by which, under God's blessing, the illusion may be dispelled. The British Quadrilles. By John Davies, Liverpool A smart, lively, gay, and well-arranged set of quadrilles. The author has played them frequently on the Rock Har monicon. They are clever, and are, we believe, much sought after by those whose " dancing days are not over." We recommend them to the notice of our lady friends. The New Statistical Account of Scotland. Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh No. XXXIII of this work is now published, containing the county of Shetland, complete, and part of Renfrewshire. It abounds with a variety of topographical, geological, and historical information relative to each parish, with details of its antiquities, its population, industry, ecclesiastical condi tion, and resources,—of a far more interesting nature than that usually found in the statistical department of literature. The descriptions of the several sea-beaten islands forming the Shetland group will be read with attention, and the ac count of Renfrewshire is still more attractive, comprising, as it does, interesting particulars of the rise and present state of the thriving port of Greenock. As a specimen, though by no means a select one, of the general style, we quote the following passage relative to the parish of Greenock : " Greenock has no picturesque beauty in itself, except what it derives from the elegant and tasteful villas in its eastern and western suburbs. There is hardly any coppice in its ravines ; the plantations of forest trees are few and of small dimensions ; the hills are sadly destitute of clothing, and when compared with those in the neighbouring parish of In in n re rkip are tame an d monotonous. B ut t h ese deficiencies a great m easure , compensa t e d b y i ts h av i ng some of the fi nest land and sea views which are to be seen in Scotland, walk erhaps, in any part of the g l o b e. It i s i mpossible to having our eyes fastened with some portion of the rich and of nature ansrnery and magnificent and of the br o ad which is produced by the combina tionthe grassy hill and art of the heath-clad mountains with cultivated field, and extensive pleasure ground,of the whitening 5415 which of water with the multitude rising ground the views ar ich bedeck its surface. From the their range the opposite coaesit'efros peculiarly splendid, including in mndßowling and Douglass to Dunoon, with its towns, villas, sou numerous indentations, . e t i h bank of the river, with and a considerable part of the ale towns and harbours of Port snow and Greenock." The present number alsd embodies a highly interesting bio graphical notice of the late James Watt, to whose memory a splendid monument is erected in Greenock—his native town. We should add that the statistical accounts of each parish are drawn up, for the most part, by their respective clergymen, and others, who have the best opportunities, from residence and education, of supplying the most au thentic information. The Churchman for October. W. E. Painter, Strand We have already offered a few remarks upon an article, " The Church and the Cabinet," in which this excellent periodical adventures this month upon what may with great propriety be called the politics of the church. In addition we are favoured with a very seasonable article, entitled " Facts on the Poverty of the Church of England," with which we would recommend every lover of our noble Esta blishment to make himself familiar, that he may be enabled at once to put down authoritatively the ignorant sneers which dissent is ever directing against her assumed inordi nate wealth. " A few Thoughts on Cottage Literature" is a pleasing article, written in an excellent spirit ; and we can only regret its exceeding brevity. The " Chapter on Poets" is just readable; but perhaps we may be wrong in our esti mation of it, for we must confess we are amongst the class complained of by its author, who cannot admire our modern poetry in general, although we make exceptions in favour of a few writers, amongst whom is Mrs. Abdy. Her " Prayer of Asa," in the present number of the Churchman, is a spi rited lyric, although not so much to our taste as some others which we have met with from the same pen. The " Correspondence " is, as usual, h'ghly instructive ; and the Reviews are written in a fair and candid spirit. Al together the present number is equal to any of its predeces sors, if not even superior. The Village Churchman for October. W. E. Painter This excellent little periodical continues to pursue its course of unobtrusive usefulness, and we know few works of its class more worthy of universal circulation. The present number contains as much valuable information as is to be met with in many publications of far greater pretensions at ten times its price. The Church of England Quarterly Revier No. 20, Oct., 1811. W. E. Painter, Strand The present publication of this excellent periodical is dis tinguished by more than its usual talent and learning ; and, in addition, by a fearlessness of tone upon political matters which well becomes the independent churchman, in the altered position which he occupies towards the government of the country. We are not of that class of the church's supporters who would have her —now, that by her well-di rected energies she has succeeded in stirring up her children from their lethargy, —now that she has succeeded in wresting the government of the country from the hands of a hostile faction—surrender herself unreservedly into absolute depend ence upon any man or any party, however virtuous and able. On the contrary we would still see her exert all her watch fulness, and exercise all her salutary influence, over the pub lic mind ; for we must bear in mind that although by her aid the evil thing has been cast out from amongst us and trampled upon—although the helm of the state is now placed in the hands of statesmen who recognise her claims, and will not permit them to be openly invaded or insulted ; yet it be comes her to take care also that they are not postponed— that they are not frittered away by the tampering hand of expediency, or degraded, by being converted into a mere 'ad captandum' cry to advance the purposes of party. The church has proudly asserted her pre-eminent position ; she has beat down the hand that was raised to alienate her tem poralities and to desecrate her altars. But she must not put off her armour; she must not lay aside her watchfulness; she must not abate the loftiness of her attitude until, along with the name of victor, she has realized the fruits of victory as well; until she has worked out to the full those just de mands, in the making of which she has been so powerfully supported by the voice of a Protestant people, and until she has established herself permanently upon a safer and higher temporal foundation, from which she may laugh to scorn the worst efforts of her enemies. Such are the views which are put forward and advocated, with powerful effect, in The Church of England Quarterly throughout, but more especially in its political articles— " Church Extension in Relation to the present National Crisis," " Christianity and the Corn Laws," and " Conser vative Government—Whig Opposition." The article upon Church Extension, especially, is well calculated to challenge public attention, and to convince even the most strenuous advocate of a waiting policy on the part of the Church of England, that, in the present attitude of hostile interests towards her, no such policy can with safety be pursued by the church, and that (to quote the language of the able wri ter) " the country will not be one whit better governed by Sir Robert Peel than by Lord John Russell—by Mr. Goul burn than by Mr. Baring —or by the Duke of Wellington than by Lord Melbourne—unless the Protestant question be now looked fully in the face, and unless an end be put to all further concessions to that spirit of unbelief, of political dis sent, and of Papacy, which is stalking at midday through the length and breadth of this mighty empire"—not the least of which concessions, in our humble opinion, would be the post ponement, by the church or by the government, of any op portunity of affirming the principle of church extension. We must confess, however, that we cannot go all the lengths to which the reviewer would urge us, with regard to the amount of assistance, in the outset, to be demanded from government. We admit to its full extent the inefficiency of church accommodation throughout Great Britain, and lament it equally with him ; but in the present financial condition of the country, we should be quite satisfied with such a mode rate annual grant of money from government, for the purpose of building churches, as would bind our legislators to the principle of providing for the religion of the state at the ex pense of the body of the people. Assert this principle only, in the teeth of dissent; let the state only recognise its duty of providing for the spiritual as well as for the temporal wants of the community at large, and we are satisfied that ultimately the church will gain—slowly at first, perhaps, but in ample measure at last—all that she requires to enable her to perform her duty to the state and to the people. We shall take another opportunity of remarking at length upon the article " Christianity and the Corn-laws," which is written throughout in an admirable spirit —one in which we should rejoice to see it more frequently treated—and can solicit for it the attentive perusal of our readers. The same request we must make in behalf of the article entitled "Con servative Government—Whig Opposition." In the latter, however, we mark symptoms of a bitter feeling towards an illustrious member of the government in denouncing as a false step, attributable to his influence in the cabinet, the re-elec tion of the present Speaker. With respect to the policy of the step in question we are diametrically at issue with the reviewer. We deny that in the re-election of Mr. Shaw Lefevre was evinced anything bearing the most remote resem blance to concession on the part of Sir Robert Peel to his opponents, or to any undue deference towards the personal wishes of any member of his cabinet ; and we are scarcely of opinion that the constitution has sustained any material damage from the battle between conservatism and its oppo nents being fought upon an intelligible issue—an amendment upon the address—rather than upon the election of the speakership. We have scarcely left ourselves space even to characterize the remaining articles of the number. The able review of " Tracts of the Anglican Fathers"—of "Tennant's Belgium" --of " D'lsraeli's Amenities of Literature"—or the " Arti cles on Sepulchral Monuments"—" Religious Education at Cambridge University" —or the " Tracts for the Times." The whole will be read with pleasure and profit ; and more especially the review of " Tracts of the Anglican Fathers," which is evidently the production of a sound churchman and a clear logical writer. The first paragraph, however, of this as of a portion of another article is characterized by a spirit which we regret to see displayed in such a publication as The Church of England Quarterly, and which we trust will be laid aside in future. The writers, or writer, will under stand to what we allude, when we direct their or his attention to the paragraph commencing at the foot of page 322. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT NEWINGTON BUTTS TWO LIVES LOST. A most destructive fire, attended with loss of human life, occurred on Tuesday morning, in the High-street, New ington Butts, nearly opposite to St. Mary's Church. The fire broke out about half-past three o'clock, at the house of Mr. Merry, cheese and butter monger, and from the inflammable nature of the stock in trade, the whole of the premises were in a few minutes in one blaze, and it is said that two, if not three, human beings have fallen a prey to the flames. It was at first reported four individuals had lost their lives, but that is not the case, and the general opinion is that only two, namely, the aged mother and female ser vant of Mr. Merry, have met with an untimely death. Mrs. Merry, it appears, was rather a stout lady, about 60 years of age ; the bed on which she.was sleeping caught fire, and she was much burnt. The unfortunate lady, however, contrived to get to the window and throw open the sash, from which she precipitated herself into the street. It being discovered that such was her intention by the few persons who had at that early hour assembled, they obtained a blanket to catch. if possible, the unfortunate woman, and break her fall, but in this they were disappointed, as the poor old lady, in the agitation of the moment, was not able to guide herself, and she fell from the second-floor on the pavement. She was immediately conveyed to the house of Mr. Mason, surgeon, but only lingered for a short time before death put a termi nation to her sufferings, and the body was conveyed to the Peacock Inn, where it will remain till a coroner's inquest has been held. The other sufferer, and whose body is not yet got out of the smoking ruins, was servant to Mr. Merry, a fine hearty young woman, about 22 years of age. The loss of property is considerable, but no precise estimate as to the amount can yet be ascertained. Mr. Merry is in a state bor dering on distraction ; and it is not known whether his pro perty was insured or not. The rapidity of the flames was so great that the whole of the house in which the fire originated in less than one hour was a heap of smoking ruins. The cause of this melancholy accident is not known, but it is thought the fire broke out in the lower part of the house, as flames were first perceived issuing from the shop. The con flagration was confined to the house of Mr. Merry, but the houses adjoining, on each side, are much damaged, and great apprehension at one time was entertained for their safety ; but owing to the timely arrival of the engines, a plentiful supply of water, and the active exertions of the police, they are not destroyed. One of the houses adjoining is an exten sive establishment—viz., the Ship wine-vaults kept by Mr. Smith, to whose active exertions, coupled with two officers, is to be attributed the safety of the premises, and probably the destruction of a vast deal of other property, as, if Mr. Smith's stock of spirits had caught fire, there is no calcula ting what ►night have been the result ; as it is, the premises of Mr. Smith are much injured ; some of the windows are completely destroyed, the end wall much damaged, and the beds in the sleeping-rooms partially burnt. Mr. Smith, we understand, is insured in the Licensed Victuallers' Fire office. The other house is occupied by Mr. Keen, boot and shoe-maker, and is much damaged. SEVERE STORM (From the Edinburgh Advertiser.) The weather has undergone a complete change in the course of the week. On Sunday the temperature was cold and the sky clouded : but little rain fell till Monday night. Early on Tuesday morning a tremendous gale accompanied with copi ous rain sprang up from the cast, and continued to blow during the whole day, increasing in fury as night approached. The greatest fears were entertained for the safety of the vessels in the Frith. Fortunately the few vessels in the roadstead at Leith were either enabled to make the harbour at tide hour, or found shelter under the Inchkeith ; and we are happy to learn that little damage has been done, except the washing away of the stages erected for the workmen em ployed in extending the pier. Such, however, was the vio lence of the gale, that one of the London schooners, lying between the drawbridges, in the old harbour, dragged the large stone and ring to which she was moored entirely out of the ground. The most powerful steam vessels were unable to resist the fury of the hurricane. The Adelaide, from Lon don, which arrived off Leith harbour during the day, find ing it impossible to land her passengers, came to anchor in the roads ; but the gale increasing in the afternoon, and finding that her anchor would not hold, she slipped, and took shelter in St. Margaret's Hope. She returned to Granton on Wednesday morning, when she landed her passengers, and in the afternoon got safe into Leith harbour. A small steamer bound to Fife, on Tuesday afternoon, with a number of passengers, on reaching the Fife side found it impossible to land them, and returned to Leith in the evening. Various boats plying between Leith, Newhaven, Stirling, Inverkeith ing, Fife, and other ports on both sides of the Frith, were unable to perform their usual trips. A small steamer belong ing to Berwick had her paddles broken, and other parts of her so much injured, that she was towed into Leith on Wed nesday afternoon to undergo repairs. We have heard of no accident among the fishing boats at Newhaven, although se veral of them were out as far as Inchkeith. The custom house boat, however, filled with water. At Granton the scene was terrific. The steamers which should have sailed in the morning for Aberdeen and other ports beyond the Frith, as well as those for Stirling, found it impossible to encounter the gale. One with passengers for the Stirling races ventured out about midday. A small steam boat, intended, we believe, to run between Newhaven and Stirling during the race days, was observed in sad distress. A pilot-boat put off to her relief, when it was discovered that her fires were drowned out, and her hold nearly filled with water ; at great risk she was towed into Granton, where she lies a partial wreck. The Forth steamer left Stirling at five in the afternoon, but did not reach Granton till five on Wed nesday morning, having been compelled to take shelter during the night above Queensferry. We are sorry to add, that at Granton Pier two sloops were sunk ; one of them, named the Peggy, of Inverkeithing, was laden with stones, and the other, the Polton, of St. David's with coal. The latter, however, was so far lightened in the course of Wednesday afternoon as to be floated, but the other lies in a helpless state. The fury of the gale was so great that on Tuesday night the waves dashed with the utmost violence over the tops of the ware houses at Granton Pier ; and such was their force that 13 feet or more of the outer portion of the pier was carried away, and the strong iron and wooden framework on the eastern side, on which the diving bell rested, was demolished, and the bell, weighing five tons was precipated to the bottom, where it now lies at a depth of 16 feet at low water. Along with this framework several large cranes were also washed away, the strong wooden beams of which were found on Wednesday morning at a distance from the pier, firmly im bedded in the sand, and covered by heaps of seaweed which had been cast ashore. The iron railway used for conveying stones to the end of the pier was in many places riven to pieces. BORROWSTONNESS, Oct. About a quarter before nine o'clock, a. m., a sloop, supposed to be from Alloa or Clack mannan, and laden with coal, upset and instantly went down a little east of this place, the wind at the time blowing a gale from the east. A boat which went from this could see no thing of the crew, but saw that the sloop's boat had gone down with her. A brewer's half-hogshead came ashore from her, marked 2,472, Nelson, Westbarns. Part of the topmast was seen above water after she went down. The boat that went out from this was manned by James Bettan, pilot, alone, all others refusing to accompany him, as the gale continued ; but he persevered, and within half an hour after the accident happened he was at the wreck, but the crew had gone down with the vessel. Much praise is due to Bettan, who has a family looking up to him for their daily bread. REMOVAL OF SUNDERLAND LIGHTHOUSE.—The Sun derland lighthouse has been removed in an entire state from one pier to another, a distance of five hundred feet, by ma chinery. The immense mass was transferred by means of timbers inserted underneath, by cutting th roug h the masonry near the foundation. The timber base or cradle was sup ported upon bearers, with about two hundred and fifty wheels of six inches diameter, and made to traverse on six lines of railway laid on the new pier for that purpose. The shaft of the lighthouse was tied together with bands, and its eight sides supported with timber braces from the cradle up wards to the cornice. The cradle was drawn and pushed forward with a windlass and ropes, worked by thirty men. Not a crack nor appearance of settlement is to be found in the building, which has now only to be firmly established on its new foundation. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, OCT. 13.—There was rather a quiet market yesterday for most descriptions of yarn. Thesepon for ex port to Russia being n ow a t an en d, th e descriptions of yarn suitable for that market were in little request; but there was a better inquiry for yarn suitable for the East Indies. Low numbers, both of water and mule twist, were also in demand for Germany, and the prices of these showed rather more firmness. The goods market was exceedingly flat, being injuriously affected by the unfavourable political rumours in circulation, and some descriptions especially power-loom printing cloths, were sold at low prices. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, OCT. 11.— The flannel market has been rather brisker to-day, on account of a few manufacturers who undertook the late government order, purchasing rather freely. The workmen are employed at present, but at extremely l ow wages. The government order for half a million yards of fla nne l was to be completed at the beginning of this month, and it is feared that work will then become more scarce. There is no change in the wool market : manufacturers continue to buy for immediate use only, at the old prices. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY, OCT. 12.—Thi s was a dull market; but, considering the un se ttl e d state o f the world, it exhibited a degree of buoyancy that can only be accounted for by the great variety of manufactures that are peculiar to this neighbourhood. Prices remain tole ra bly fiam. Business in the warehouses continues pretty fair ; and the mills generally are working full time. In taking down some boards belonging to the Chapter house Record-office, Poet's-corner, sevebryalthanecEiemntpperaoinrtpinog..s have just been found ; the most prominent of w hi c h repre sent the vision of St. John and the seven candlesti c k s ; his m b a g n p ; u t a i n n d t into s cauldron exie to the of isleboilingoilpa t 0 s A. MAN CARRIED OUT TO SEA.—The brig Aurora, of Belfast, M`Cann, master, for Maryport, left this harbour on Saturday se'nnight, and was driven back, on Monday, by the south-easterly gale. She sailed again on Wednesday morn ing, and, after twice making the harbour of Maryport, was obliged to haul off on a wind, and to stand off and on the whole of that night, in imminent danger of going ashore. On the following day she got safely into Belcarey Bay. On the succeeding day the captain went ashore. When the boat returned to the vessel, she was not properly made fast, and broke adrift, when one of the seamen, named Samuel M`Master, stripped and went off to her, taking with him two cork life-preservers. Unfortunately the poor fellow and the boat were carried round the point, and out to sea, and have not since been heard of. It is probable, however, that some of the many vessels which sailed from Maryport, on the day 1 in question, may have picked them up.—Northern Whig.

The imports of Wheat from Ireland have rather increased, and we have a fair fresh supply of Oats and Oatmeal thence ; which, with nearly 8000 barrels Flour from Canada, 1500 barrels from the United States, and 1700 quarters Wheat from the Continent of Europe, constitute the principal arri vals of the week. Since the evening of the 4th instant, the weather in this district has, for the most part, been extremely unpropitious for all the purposes of husbandry ; and from many of the late counties of both Great Britain and Ireland, reports of a similar nature are daily received ; stating also that such of the crops as remain out, consisting principally of Oats and Beans, are sustaining considerable injury by the excess of moisture to which they have been too long exposed. But the complaints of the damage, admitted to have been done to a large portion of the potato crop in the low wet soils of the country, are of a still more serious character, as in those situations much of the produce already appears to have pe rished in the ground, and the farmers here express great fears that the yield of this article will prove ve:y deficient in consequence. At this day's market, with much firmness on the part of holders, an advance of fully 2d per per 701bs. was realised upon the currency of this day se'nnight, but without any activity in the trade, the transactions were only moderate; and, as well as the improvement in value, applying chiefly to the better qualities of old foreign : many of the new Irish samples are very damp, and almost unsaleable. Flour may be noted is. per barrel dearer, but less inquired for than last week. Prime Malt in steady request at Is. per quarter advance, whilst all secondary qualities are still difficult of sale, and their value nominal. English Beans move off slowly z Egyptian more saleable, and fully better in price. For Oats and Oatmeal we had a good demand to-day, the former at Id. per bushel, and the latter at 6d. per 240 lbs. above our last quotations. New Meal was, however, taken off slowly, and did not make above 295. per load. UNITED STATES.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 14 The operations in Butter during the week, have been very moderate, prices are, however, well sustained. Fresh parcels of Belfast 935 to 945. Kilkenny and fine Carlow 92s to 938. Water ford, Bunbridge. &c., 86s to pis. A few hundred firkins of pickled seconds have changed hands at 82s. The export demand at the present moment is trivial, and, we apprehend, it is caused by the unsettled state of the Brazillian finanical department. Holders of Beef and Pork steadily require late quotations ;—the former article we quote 125 s to 130 s per tierce for heavy prime mess, and India; and good prime mess Pork is worth 7ss to sos per barrel. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 13 The business transacted in Cotton to day estimated at 3,500 to 4,000 bales, at the full prices of yesterday, with a steady and firm market. COTTON MARKET, OCTOBER 14 Our market opened rather quietly this morning, but as the day advanced, the demand became more general, and the amount of business done is from 4 to 5,000 bales ' • 2,000 of which has been done by three houses all for the trade. The supply is barely ade quate for the demand, and this gives buyers less choice than formerly, and though we cannot quote prices higher, yet un questionably lower Cotton is held for the same money, and that, to all intents and purposes, our market is hardening. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, OCT. 13 During the present week higher rates have been demanded for Wheat, and, in some instances, is to 2s per quarter advance ob tained. Malting Barley in request, at last week's rates ;in gainding no alteration. Oats move slowly at former currency, but holders of old parcels are not disposed to give way. Beans are not a brisk sale. but maintain their value. Grinding Peas in demand, and few offering. HULL CORN MARKET, OCT. 12 There has been a fair steady demand for old foreign Wheat during the past week, and to-day having several buyers down, a moderate extent of business has been transacted, at an advance of fully Is per qr. on the best qualities of English and old foreign, selected parcels of the latter have rather exceeded this advance--secondary qualities, and those wanting condition remain without alteration. Barley is held at full prices, but nct much doing in it. Old Oats support prices, new ones are difficult to quit. Beans and Peas without alteration, and but a trifling business passing. Linseed and Rapeseed support the following noted prices. Cakes, both Rape and Linseed unaltered. LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY. FROM L'POOL TO MANCHESTER. FROM MANCHESTER TO L'POOL.
