Liverpool: Marples. Although the difficulties that impede the progress when studying the German language surpass those we have to con tend with in any other European tongue, yet, at no time with in our recollection was its acquisition a matter of more desire than at the present moment. Fashion and commerce are the principal causes to which this fact may be attributed, for we really fear that regard for a magnificent and unrivalled literature has had very little share in inspiring the motive for the pursuit. But whatever may be the cause of the favour in which the study of German is at present held, we are glad of it. We are glad of it because the acquisition of languages is no inconsiderable mark of the progression of society; and because civilization itself can hardly be said to produce all its intended benefits unless nations, which have no common tongue, are enabled to hold converse together. The publication before us is the first part of a new German Grammar, and the subject of it is " the substantive, with reference to declension, gender, and number." We have read the work through with some degree of attention, and we are not ashamed to say, not without that pleasure which proceeds from the consciousness of improvement. If there be any defect in it, it is that the author having to convey his meaning in a language foreign to him, has not sufficiently caught the peculiarities of our idiom, and that, in his most ingenious explanations, there is an unnecessary erudition. Nevertheless, for originality and order, in displaying these treasures of the language which must be known, we know of no production superior to this. The author is Mr. H. G. Migahlt, Professor of German in the Royal, in the Mechanics', and the Literary Institution, of this town. Our good opinion, however, of his production has not been attracted by the accident of his being a towns man, but is altogether based upon a conviction of its merits. THE RECENT MYSTERIOUS GHOST AFFAIR (From the Dublin Freeman's Journal.) We give the following additional particulars, which we have permission to publish, relative to the very singular and mysterious story about supernatural noises, and the sup posed apparition of a dead man to his sister, the principal circumstances of which we mentioned last week. We must, however, premise that we do not find ourselves at liberty to publish the names of the lady and gentleman in whose house the mysterious proceedings took place, nor, for obvious reasons, the number of the house in which the circumstances occurred ; but we may repeat that the gentleman himself, as well as those who watched with him on the night of the alleged apparition, are persons of high respectability and unquestionable veracity—one of them being, as we have al ready stated, a surgeon residing in Eccles-street. In the first place, the name of the deceased man, who is thus said to have come from " That bourne from which no traveller returns," to revisit this nether world, was John Fortune ; he was, as we have already stated, a porter, employed at the Dublin and Kingstown railway, and lost his life about ten months since, in consequence of injuries received several months previously by being violently pressed between two of the railway car riages. The deceased was a catholic. An enumeration of the debts of which his spirit is said to have required the settlement must, from their insignificance, seem a very inadequate cause to disturb a soul in the other world, and throw an air of ad ditional improbability over the whole story. The following, as well as we could collect, were the various sums, viz, ls. to a Mr. Smith, a clothes broker, in Mary's lane, being the ba lance of a sum of 30s. for which the deceased had purchased a coat. Mr. Smith had quite overlooked the debt, and knowing Fortune to have been dead, never expected to re ceived the trifling sum that remained due. Next, there were sevenpence due to Mr. Murphy, a vintner, of Townsend street ; but as there are two persons of the same name in the same business in that street, and the sister of the deceased did not know to which the money was owing, her mistress and she went to both, and the real creditor had no knowledge of the debt until he sent for his clerk and got his books exa mined, when the statement of the ghost was found to be cor rect. Then there was a sum of 3d. to be paid to a woman who sold cherries at the railway station in Westland-rOw, and who, we believe, had also forgotten the debt ; and 3s. to another creditor for drink got on sundry occasions. Finally, there was a sum of 2s. ordered by the ghost to be paid to a Mrs. Marshall, of Sir J. Rogerson's Quay, being a balance due for lodging money; and, connected with this debt is one of the most extraordinary and unaccountable circumstances of the whole affair. It appears, that when Mrs. and the servant-woman went on Tuesday last, the morning after the fearful scence between the invisible visitant and his sister, to discharge the debt, Mrs. Marshall, labouring, as it subse quently appeared, under a mistake, demanded 9s. as the balance which, according to her recollection, remained due to her by the (he-eased. Mrs. refused to pay so much, and, on the following day, had a conversation on the sub ject with her husband. This took place at the new lodg ing to which they had removed that morning, (having, by the by, been obliged to sacrifice about a year's rent for the house they had given up on account of thus abruptly breaking off the contract which they had made to keep it for a stated time,) and the servant-woman was absent on a message. Mr. was pacing the room, and said, it was at all events better to pay Mrs. Marshall's demand, and have done with the matter, when immediately the same hollow and mysterious knocks, to which they were now so familiarized, was heard loudly at the room door. Mrs. stood aghast, and Mr. —, according to his own account, said solemnly, " Here it is again !" and, seizing the handle of the door as the third knock was given, threw it suddenly open, with the firm expectation that he was about to see his mys terious visiter himself. There was, however, no one visible on the lobby, or the stairs, or in fact anywhere about, who could have given the knocks ; and a lady residing up stairs, and hearing the noise, inquired what it meant, and of course knew of no one who could have caused it. In a very short time Mrs. Marshall called at the house, and saying that she had since found out the account of 2s. only being due to be correct, the debt was of course forthwith cancelled. Such are the facts of the case, as they are firmly believed by the parties themselves to exist. We believe that no other cir cumstance connected with the affair has occurred since Wednesday last ; but the poor servant still continues in very depressed spirits, and the most firm and incredulous among the persons who have actual cognizance of the facts we have stated remain under the strong conviction that the whole matter is not unconnected with supernatural agency. To as sume that such is r ea ll y th e case would, of course, expose us to the sneer of many, but a s we cannot: pretend to give any very natural or probable explanation of the story, we leave our readers to judge of it as they may think fit.

After nearly demolishing one of the walls of his prison, and making his exit through two strongly barred doors, he strode from his quarters et the Plough, up High street, and thence into Smith's-lane, where he tore up a large vine-tree growing against the house of a respectable widow lady, whose family he greatly alarmed, and a respectable cot tage, at which he devoured a cask of wash and grains, which had been set aside for the pigs. After this, he was attracted by the pleasant smell of a large brewery. and squeezed him self between the walls of a narrow passage which led near it ; he was unsuccessful in his attempt to taste the inviting beve rage, but tore up some fruit trees, and frightened the inm ates e !the houses around. The police had by this time aroused his keepers, who led him back to his Chronicle.

No. I. (Continued from the Standard of the 16th instant.) After a refreshing sleep I rose at daybreak (on Friday morning), an earlier hour than I care to be astir, when within the smoky precincts of the town ; but, independently of the marine scenery of the channel, the known proximity of the interesting southern coast of Ireland, which I had visited in the ill-fated steam-ship President on her trial trip to Cork and Dublin, determined me to shake off the unpro fitable indulgence of the sluggard. We had left far astern the Tuskar Light-house, which stands on a rock off the south-east corner or point of the island, which forms an ob tuse angle. The Saltees (isolated rocks) were still in sight, and a portion of the county of Waterford rose indistinctly in the distance. The sea was smooth, with a slight swell, but as dark clouds began to rise in the south-west, with light airs, indicating a probable breeze from that unfavourable quarter, we lowered topmasts and yards, and relied solely on our steam. Shortly after day-light we passed several sail outward bound, including some of the large ships of the mer chant fleet that had left Liverpool the day before we started. Just before sunrise the eastern sky presented a glowing and beautiful appearance, being streaked horizontally, on an azure ground, with the most brilliant lines of red and purple, which the painter would in vain essay to depict. Small sea birds, called " divers," common in these seas, disported themselves round the ship, now making playful evolutions over head, and now resting on the water, or disappearing in quest of an early breakfast of the smaller finny inhabitants of the deep. This passing remark reminds me of the good fare provided for those on board the Erin, a point of considerable importance to those who like myself, when at sea, and in buoyant spirits,—all cares of the land and its turmoils being thrown to the winds—can enjoy a hearty meal. The early risers, who were inclined, had a cup of coffee and a biscuit at six o'clock ; at eight we had breakfast ; at twelve, lunch ; at three, dinner; at seven, tea, and at ten, supper—all excel lent and substantial, served with great neatness on the centre table of the saloon, and seasoned with agreeable chat, the captain officiating as host. This, it must be admitted, was pretty ample provision of animal comforts ; yet such was the appetizing influence of the sea air, that I was not the only one who occasionally munched a biscuit with great gout between meals, by way of exercise in the useful science of mastica tion. All whd were not affected by the motion of the ship seemed to be impressed with the conviction of the old poet, who says— "The strength of every other member, Is founded on your belly timber ; And if you would improve your thought, You must be fed as well as taught." Nor was there any lack of '• grog," though the beverage in more,general requisition was porter. Early in the forenoon we were abreast of Cork, and could plainly sere Camden and Carlisle forts, which, placed, on op posite eminences, guard the entrance of that splendid and picturesque harbour. Ballycotton island was also in view. At eleven, the atmosphere to the northward being clear, the coast was distinctly visible from the high land of Dungarvon to the Old Head of Kinsale,—an extent of twenty leagues. Roche's Tower formed a conspicuous object, and the in dented steep shore, and variegated back-ground -presented new and interesting prospects as we proceeded. At one, a dark mass of clouds, franulit with squalls and rain, gathered over the mountains on the north-west, but passed to the southward without reaching us. We passed the town of Kinsale, prettily situated at the mouth of the Bandon in a sheltered bottom ; and its " decent church that tops the neighbouring hill," with the sloping road that leads to it, lent interest to the landscape. The Old Head, which we neared in passing, is a rocky promontory faced with sloping strata of gray limestone, cut into numerous fissures running from the base to the top, which is covered with a scanty wig of rough grass of a brownish tinge. Here there are three old castles and a lighthouse. Beyond it, to the westward, are several bays, or creeks, and portions of the hill sides sloping to the north, are mapped out in enclosed cultivated patches, of various shades of verdure, with a few scattered farm-houses and huts. The country here is, however, generally of a naked and somewhat sterile aspect, probably arising in a great mea sure from its exposure to the saline breeze. At Seven Heads Point, the next promontory westward, are the ruins of a once stately castle, now frowning in dark broken masses over the restless waters below. We passed a Kinsale pilot-boat, a small cutter with her name or rather designation painted on her mainsail. Here the swell from the western ocean, which seldom wholly sub sides, began to be felt, but so slightly as not to retard the speed of the ship, which dashed on at the rate of about eight and a half to nine knots, with abundance of steam to spare. At five o'clock, having crossed another bay, we were abreast of Galley Head, and in sight of Cape Clear. A vast number of puffins hovered round the vessel, and not a few stormy peterels. These last, I was informed, are common at almost all seasons on the coast, and are not, therefore, considered so portentous of a storm as when seen further from the land ; but, for my own part, I am always thankful when Mother Carey keeps her chickens at home, having, from some little experience at sea, imbibed a portion at least of the belief at tached to their appearance by the bard, who sings— The seamen, from the billows dark, The hag's wild birds could faintly hear ; Those birds that ne'er approach the bark, provoked a laugh from the more fortunate. Even Captain Kennedy, a tall athletic gentleman, was fain, from the effects of the motion, superadded to a previous bilious attack, to betake himself to his berth during the continuance of the gale. The poor steward was also deadly ill. For myself, I have reason to be thankful that I neither lost my appetite nor my repose, and was thus enabled to be more on deck, to satisfy a hankering curiosity to know all that was going on. Captain Christie was almost constantly aboveboard, and, though he frequently changed his upper dress, was scarcely aimoment without being wet through. • The steward of the - vessel, (whom I shall simply call " William,") a native of Ireland, had long sailed with Cap tain Kennedy, in his first steamer on the Shannon. He was a good-natured and obliging creature; butbeing, unaccustomed, in his aquatic trips, to any motion more ungracious than that produced by the comparative undulation of his native river, his interior man was altogether taken by surprise in the Atlantic tumble which we now experienced ; and when he was not officially in requisition, (at which times he did his very best to shake off the Neptunean demon that bad taken him into his relentless keeping,) he coiled himself away in a corner of the cabin, where he had the least chance of being launched or rolled to the opposite side, or amongst the tables. The poor fellow was often, moreover, thrown into extreme trepidation by the buffetting of the sea, the roaring of the gusts of wind, and the frequent noisy operations of those on deck ; and, on one occasion, when our expert commander dime below, dripping wet, to warm himself for a moment, William, addressing him very pathetically, exclaimed " Oh, sir, you're kilt ! you're kilt entirely ! Can't you take us into some port, sir, and get out o' this bother ? sure you will !" ' To keep the ship as steady as possible, she was put under the close-reefed main-sail and reefed fore-stay-sail, with her head to the NAV., but made considerable lee-way. The hatchways and engine gratings on the main deck were secu red, as well as circumstances would allow, with tarpaulins and sails, to keep the water from getting below. About six o'clock, while, with the increasing gale and the frequent smothering of the paddle-wheels, she was doing little more than lying to, the was struck on the weather bow by a tre- Mendous sea that carried away great part of the larboard bulwarks forward, filled the main deck with water to the Uight of the cranks, and did some damage to her figure bead and rails, as well as her paddle houses. She " sighed " under it ; but some of her wash boards on the lee side being, by aid of the carpenter, smashed away to facilitate its egress, before another sea could repeat the compliment, she again bounded up indignantly, in the triumph of her buoy ancy,—afterwards shipping, however, at times, a good deal ot water, particularly forward. About this time, while Mr. Allionby, the mate, was assisting some of the crew to put a preventer sheet on the fore-stay-sail, he was struck by the sheet block on the right arm, a little above the wrist, and had both bones broken by the blow. He was consequently entirely disabled at a time when his services were most wanted. Two others of the crew were also thrown violently from one side of the deck to the other, and were also incapacitated from duty, and another was ill, so that our " able seamen" on board were reduced to the number of four, upon whom a heavy duty devolved at the wheel, and the general management of the ship. Shortly afterwards the tore-stay-sail was torn in pieces by the gale, and becoming entangled by the haulyard block, hung in shreds from the mast head. The sea now became terrifically high and cross, one steep wave frequently taking the vessel on the weather bow, and another simultaneously on the lee quarter. Two men were necessary to steer her, both " lashed to the helm." The boat cloths were placed against the weather main rigging to aid in keeping her to. The wind kept up a continued howl ; and the sea, breaking and foaming, joined in the elementary commotion. The sky was cloudy and portentous, and so thick was the spin -drift, dashing horizontally in snowy wreaths along the troubled deep, that we frequently could not see the ridges of waves to leeward beyond a few lengths of the ship. During the night and this morning, a con siderable quantity of water found its way down to the engine room by the hatches, and into the cabin by the companion way, and through the dead-lights of the stern and side-port windows, when the sea broke upon her. The furniture in the saloon that happened to be unlashed was upset by a heavy lurch, but it was soon secured. Shortly after eight o'clock, the two men at the wheel gave Captain Christie the alarm that they saw breakers over a low chain of rocks on the lee,—in which case, unless, by some for.uitous circumstance not then apparent, we could work out clear of them, inevitable and speedy destruction to the vessel and all on board of her must have been the result. The captain looked eagerly to leeward, and fancied he could see the fatal ridge, stretching out in an apparent straight line, as far as the eye could now and then distinguish amidst the heavy surge, and the continued spin-drift. The sight was a fearful one, and might well have excited consi derable consternation, even in the breasts of the most manly. He was standing near the companion-way when I went up the cabin stairs to see how the storm proceeded. The mo ment he saw me he said, " It is all over with us, Mr. —; there are breakers on the lee !" " If so," said I, " it cannot be helped, we have done our best, and must even submit." I then at his request looked steadily to leeward, and fancied too I could discern a long chain of black rocks, parallel with the vessel, sometimes seen, and anon covered by the waves and the snow-white spray, that rose many feet over them. Our commander (as well as the few men of the crew who were on deck) was naturally alarmed, and I sympathised with him the more, as he had on board his young wife, who had joined him in anticipation of a pleasure. trip ! The lady was, however, in her private cabin dreadfully sick, and with a proper regard to her feelings he did not inform her of the imminent dangers that beset us. He immediately set himself to do the best to the last moment, to prevent us from drifting amongst the rocks. The steam was kept well up, and the vessel's head kept as close as possible to the wind,—for no apparent benefit could arise from putting about on the other tack, and to bear away would certainly have precipitated the catastrophe. Most of the crew had previously taken shelter below, and but few of them were aware of the danger. The captain being immediately en gaged in giving directions to the steersmen, my first impulse was to communicate to my fellow-passengers the perilous situation we were in. I, however, expressed a hope (though I scarcely then entertained it) that all would yet be well. The announcement at first excited some consternation, but though a few faces were for a short time blanched, to do justice to all, the labouring of the vessel, and the unmitigated fury of the tempest, had, in some degree, previously pre pared them for a possible fatality, and the more nervous resumed their self-possession, and appeared to join the others in a quiet resignation to their fate. The disabled mate showed some slight alarm for an instant, but immediately resumed his reclining position at the end of one of the sofas close to the rudder case, and laying his broken limb on his breast calmly awaited the event. There was no running or rushing, no expression of unavailing regret, though doubt less some painful thoughts of home, some aspirations for those who were dearest to them, flashed across the general mind. The steward, poor fellow ! was the only one partially unnerved, and even he soon made up his mind for the worst, and declared, in the vernacular accent of his country, with a gravity even at that trying moment almost ludicrous, that he would shut himself up in his pantry so that the fish might not eat him, forgetting that if the ship once struck the rocks in such a sea, she would be doubled up (pantry and all), and smashed like a tin cannister operated upon by a sledge hammer! The captain came below and examined the chart of the coast. He was of opinion that if they were rocks at all that we had seen, they must be the low range of the " Blasketts," which run seaward from the main land a distance of a mile and a half from Dunmore Head, on the north side of Dingle Bay. But it appeared highly improbable, and, indeed, unac countable, that the vessel could have drifted so far to the northward and eastward, as her head had been well out to the westward all night, with the engine, though frequently moving but slowly from the heaviness of the sea, still ap parently giving her considerable way. The contemplation of what occurred during some few hours of suspense has convinced me that the human mind can sometimes accommodate itself calmly, even to death itself, when that dread finality appears inevitable, and is unat tended by ignominy or self-repaoach. A rapid thought of domestic endearments, and a brief prayer, was, with myself, succeeded by a firm, if not, indeed, a sort of reckless in difference. I took off my cloak and laid it on the cabin table, remarking that it might possibly wash on shore with the wooden upper-works of the ship, and be of use to some poor Irishman who might pick it up. I returned to the deck, urged by a lurking curiosity, (which yet surprises me,) to watch and witness the manner in which the vessel would break up. When I reached it, the prospect on the lee was still similar, though I sometimes entertained the momentary supposition that what we saw, resembling rocks, were the dark unbroken portions of waves succeeding those that showed a continued crest. The captain was now of the same opinion, from our bearings at the commencement of the gale and the subsequent course we had shaped. Happily, after a painful suspense of some two hours, during which death seemed to stare us in the face, the result showed either that the helmsmen (and ourselves for a time) were mistaken by the appearances described, or, if otherwise, that the rocks were weathered by good management,—for we never saw them again, and the alarm, on that score, subsided, though the vessel was still in great danger from the violence of the hurricane. The engines were frequently brought almost to a pause by the paddle-wheels being smothered in the sea ; but on every temporary lull, or partial falling of the waves, they clawed on a little ; and to this, added to the liveliness of the vessel, was our escape to be attributed. Indeed, it was the opinion of the captain and others that a wooden vessel, under sail alone, if so taken on a lee shore, must have perished. At this time, though the ship pitched and rolled violently, Mr. Chadwick and myself did what we could for poor Allionby, who was in the cabin, in great pain from the fracture of his arm, which had been but slightly bandaged in the hurry. He was in constant danger of falling from the sofa on which he sat, and receiving further injury. I made two rude, hollow splints, with a table knife, in the best way I could, to fit his arm and keep it straight, and Mr. C. bandaged it up. We were not sufficiently surgical to set the bones; but our pre liminary operation (with a lotion of vinegar) tended to pre vent inflammation, and the poor fellow was thankful for the trifling service. He could not obtain professional assistance until two_days after the accident, _ _ Towards eleven o'clock in the forenoon the gale moderated a little, but we still apprehended a lee shore, and held out westward. Friends Chadwick and Tall resumed the thread of the narrative they had been reading of " Two Years before the Mast," at the cabin fire, and I posted up this my little log-book. The sun looked out for a moment from a broken cloud ; but this was only a momentary and deceptive glimpse. Shortly after, while I was . looking out at the companion-way to leeward, the ship took a heavy lurch, and being thrown f rom my I , alance, I tumbled down stairs " by the run," and picked myself up in the steward's room below. This was an incident of no moment, saving as a relief to the general mo notony. I had been more on deck than any of my fellow passengers, and got frequently well drenched for this indul gence in my nautical propensities. The weather throughout the day was boisterous, and between seven and eight in the evening we experienced a violent hail storm. The direction of the wind varied at times, and we made some stretches on the other tack, in expectation of reaching the Shannon early next day. _ _ - On Sunday morning another gale of scarcely less violence set in from the same quarter as the first, and at nearly the same hour—two o'clock.=We again stood from the land. About six it rather moderated. We saw a few " blue jackets" in the sky, and bore again to the eastward, with a view, if the weather continued stormy , to make some int erme di a t e port in order to refit. The vessel scudd e d a d m i ra b ly, though we at first apprehende d that she would be pooped. About 11 o'clock, after a run of about 50 miles, (which showed that we had made a good otfing,) the captain went aloft to look out for land, but co uld see nothin g , the haze over it being so thick. A few min utes afterwards I was the first who saw a e to the than w expected. Skelligs Rock. W e h a d high rocky island on t he larboard bow, which wa s immedi ately drifted recognised a the weather was n ow im p rovin g , Ca p tai n Christie (whose caution and anxiety nig ht and da y were unceasing) deter mined to make at onc e for the Shannon, li t t le further o be the o lrg northward the mouth of which was about 20 leagues distant.. We stood N.N.E., th e sea still running high. We passed on the west side of the great Skelligs Rock, at a short distance from it. It is of an irregular form, high, precipitous, and picturesque , terminatin g in two points or peaks. The base is almost perpendicular, and being far from the main land, it is continually buffetted on all sides by the waves of the Atlantic. In the general outline it reminded me of the Rock of Gibraltar, and two white lighthouses, with an irregular white wall protecting the steep and winding road between them, favour the resemblance by representing the towers and batteries of that celebrated fortress. It appears to be without vegetation, and the keepers of the lighthouses, who see but the ocean around them, and hear but the scream of the sea-fowl, must lead a lonely and cheerless life. There appears to be no bay or shallow shore at any part, and such is here the general swell of the Atlantic, that weeks some times elapse, even in summer, during which no boat with provisions can effect a landing. Leman's Rock—the smaller Skellig, is also picturesque, and there are minuter rocks, resembling castles, with towers and turrets. The whole asume a variety of appearances, as seen from different points in passing them. They are about 56 miles from the mouth of the Sh a nnon. The Erin, with a fresh breeze from the W. N. W., by cbmpass, and an atmosphere gradually becoming clear and sonny, dashed along in fine style; and we soon crossed the mouth of Dingle Bay and came up to the Blaikett Rocks, which had been our dread on the previous morning. 'We steered, with full steam and sail, through the sound between the great Blaskett and Dunmore Head, on the main land. The outer Blasketts are chiefly steap multiform rocks, on which, in stormy weather, the sea bird could scarcely obtain a footing. The vessel rolled rapidly past them, as if, like a young colt, she smelt the green land of her destination. The whole coast of the peninsular portion of Kerry along which we were running is peculiarly interesting, but I must be brief,, as this, my first sketch, has unwittingl3 exceeded my intended bounds. The Great Blasket is a most interesting spot. East it are many curious indented and perpendicular rocks near the land, one of which presented the appearance of a brig under sail. The shores are here iron bound, and the tops of the acclivities are covered with herbage ap propriated as sheep walks. As we proceeded, the shores and the rocks by which they were guarded, presented the most romantic and extraordinary appearances, of ruined towns and villages, castles, towers, church spires, &c., which the vivid imagination of the poet might readily associate with historical reminiscences of towns, strongholds, and fanes in various countries, now fallen into decay ; or peopled with fairy sprites. Brandon Head, a fine bill on a point, formed a conspi cuous landmark, and while passing it we retired below to en joy the good things of this lite, in the shape of a sumptuous dinner, and after our perils and fatigues, exemplified the truth of the expression of the bard, that " sweet is pleasure after pain." Passing the Bay of Tralee we soon found our selves between Loop Head and Kerry Point, the two outward boundaries of the wide estuary of the Shannon. The country is interesting, particularly on the Kerry side, where its surface is variegated by undulated low grounds, backed by mountains. Towards nightfall we reached Kilrush, (county Clare,) one of the ports of the vessels destination, where we were received with a hearty welcome. We had been expected a day or two before, and serious apprehensions were entertained for our safety, much damage having been done ou shore by the dread ful gale we had experienced. We were here saluted by the firing of guns, and we returned the compliment. We pro ceeded on after dusk, to Tarbert, in Kerry, (passing the interesting island of Scattery,) and there having cast anchor for the night. enjoyed oursels es for a short time, and thcn retired to repose. Sketch II.—" The Snannon, Bre.," in our next.) THE BRAZILIAN TRADE AND SIR ROBERT PEEL (From the Morning Herald.) The Ministerial journals chuckle with delight over the anticipated difficulty that Sir Robert Peel will have in negocia ting a renewal of our commercial treaty with Brazil. How, they exclaim with rapture, will the right hon. baronet pre serve the Brazilian market to our manufactures, if he refuses to admit slave-grown sugar? It is difficult to say whether there be greater ignorance or impudence in this question. But the reply to it is as easy as it is satisfactory. The reduction of our duties on foreign sugar is, we fear lessly assert, not necessary to the preservation of the Brazi lian market, and for a very simple reason. Sugar is rapidly ceasing to be the chief article of Brazilian export. The culti vation of the sugar cane has hitherto been the cause of the continuance of Brazil in the brutal slave trade ; it has pre vented the increase of the slave population of that empire, and has thereby created an irresistible premium for the rob bery of human beings from the shores of Africa for the sugar fields of Brazil. Nither the cultivation of the coffee nor the cotton plants is fatal to slave life. The negroes engaged in the lighter and healthier occupation of working in the coffee plantations do not decrease in numbers, and they are the parents of a vigorous offspring. It is not, therefore, surprising that coffee has become the staple export of the Brazilian empire. In 1830 there were exported from Rio de Janeiro 391,785 bags of coffee ; in 1841, there were exported 1,051,190 bags. In 1838, there were exported from the same port 16,417 cases of sugar; in 1840, only 9,253. The in creased exportation of coffee, and the diminished exportation of sugar from Pernambuco and Bahia, are also as remarkable as from Rio, and incontestibly establish the fact we have stated. _ _ _ , Brazilian coffee has for some years been entered for home consumption on payment of the duty on that article when imported from within the limits of the East India Company's charter, by being previously sent round to the Cape of Good Hope, and there trans-shipped for England as East Indian coffee. A reduction of the duty on Brazilian coffee would then neither seriously injure our own colonies, nor expose them to new rivals, nor would it give an impetus to the Brazilian slave-trade, while it would preserve to our manu factures the benefit of the Brazilian markets, and give our population the benefit of cheapness in a most nutritious beverage ; and in this way Sir Robert Peel may easily escape from the difficulties hailed by his factious opponents. Whether he will adopt this mode it is not our business to inquire ; we notice only to expose the frivolous obstacles which are conjured up to alarm the country by the organs of a defeated faction. CONSERVATISM (From the Times of Yesterday.) It is a happy omen of the prospects of the British nation under Sir Robert Peel's government, that the definition of conservatism given by the • right hon. baronet in his Tam worth speech is one which every true conservative will ac knowledge to be oomplete and accurate. The conservatives are " determined to maintain on their ancient foundations " the institutions of the country in church and state." They are determined; their resolution upon this point is one which cannot be shaken ; it is with them a first princi ple ; and they must abandon office rather than recede from it in the least degree. But it is not to the outward forms or the existing modifications of the institutions that they are attached, but to the intrinsic fundamental principles. So far as the institutions are consistent with these, they will uphold them ; if in any thing they have departed from these, they will bring back. Moving or standing still, this will be their rule ; it will be the magnet which attracts them to a state of quiescence, or the compass which directs them over their course of necessary reforms. The ancient foundation of the institutions of the state of Great Britain, and the original source of all those wonderful effects which we use the expression civil liberty to describe, is the principle of self-government under salutary laws, grounded upon the basis of religion, and secured by the nicely balanced distribution of political power. Most persons perceive the broad outlines under which this principle is developed in the separation of the judicial, executive, and legislative powers from each other—a separation complete enough for a salutary independence of action, yet not so ab solute as to permit their mutual collision, or impede the harmonious co-operation of the whole. Again, in the consti tution of the legislative body, it is easy to see how the vari ableness and impetuosity of popular will in the House of Commons are tempered to consistency and soberness by the weight of permanent interests and traditional authority in the House of Lords. And in the constitution of the House of Commons itself it requires no minute analysis to disco ver the very same most admirable composition of opposite forcee. The proportions in which representation is assigned to the different constituent parts of the people, modified as they have been by the Reform Bill, are such as to give, upon the whole, a body indispoted to violent or revolutionary action, yet unequivocally, and to the satisfaction of the whole nation, discharging the functions of a popular as sembly. The electoral body, which is the basis of the House of Commons itself, consists not of the entire population, but of all who, upon a liberal estimate, grounded upon their circumstances in life, can be presumed to possess the ne cessary degree of intelligence and independence for the franchise. Yet these are not placed in a position which would enable them to exercise the power given to them for public purposes without responsibility to the rest of the community ; what they do must be done openly, and the right of influencing and judging them by the free expression of opinion, and of visiting them with those rewards and penalties which opinion can bestow or inflict, is reserved to every individual citizen.

Sate when the furious storm is near The fishermen of Ireland are a hardy and adventurous race, to whom the necessity of encountering the dangers that are inseparable from a steep, rocky, and jagged coast, have become habitual. Although the weather was threaten ing and the sea rather heavy, we passed, at a distance of six or seven miles from the land, an open boat pulled by four men—so diminutive a piece of navigation, that she frequently disappeared from our view in the hollow of the waves. Soon afterwards we saw another, with six rowers, who lay on their oars to look at us. They appeared to be regular sons of the turf, and had each a short tobacco-pipe, venerably disco loured with use, stuck in the cord or rope-yarn that served sa a hatband. Dashing along the indented shore, we passed Gaily Head, Glandore Bay and harbour, and Castlehaven, a little to the westward of which last, rising from the sea, are the two re markable rocks called the Stags, perpendicular basaltic for =Lions, strongly resembling two old castles, with each a square tower, battlements, and bastions. Cape Clear was now visible, on a small island, forming (when seen from the seaward)—with another of larger size, between it and the main land, called Innisherkin—the most southern point or promontory of Ireland. The Fastnet Rock, to the south west of the Cape, and rising in solitary sulkiness in the ocean, a considerable distance from the land, was now in view, and we steered outside of so ugly a customer. The distance from Liverpool to Cape Clear is about 303 nautical miles, and this we had accomplished in about 37 hours. We had upwards of 200 miles to run thence to Li merick, Cork being about the " half-way house " ; and, had the weather continued moderate, we should have accom plished the trip in 52 to 5I hours, including the navigation of the Shannon. It was, however, otherwise ordered ; and it may be here remarked, that the trip from England to Li merick is by coasting sailors denominated " the American voyage," from its being considered by them as perilous, on the average of passages, as crossing the Atlantic itself. Cape Clear is the last point of land, in Europe, which many a seaman and passenger beholds with " long and lingering look," when leaving his native shores ; and often the first he joyfully descries when homeward bound, just before " For England, when, with fav'ring gale, The gallant ship up channel steers." The whole of the western coast of Ireland thence to Urris Head, and even to Malin, at the northern extremity of the island, is indented by numerous bays, estuaries, or arms of the sea, of various form and extent, penetrating the land eastwardly, and dividing it into a variety of fantastically formed peninsulas and headlands, round which are copiously strewed, in many parts, small islands and rocks, of a steep and dangerous character. It is, for the most part, as are the islets, an iron-bound coast, composed of precipitous limestone rocks, of a wild and rugged aspect, that have for ages withstood the fierce and frequent assaults of the Atlan tic. The prevailing gales from the westward here lash the wide expanse of waters into steep and angry waves, that with deafening roar spend their fury amidst the beetling cliffs and caverned recesses of this stupendous and protecting sea-wall. During a storm from any point between the S.W.-and N.W. (inclusive), the sea presents, from the emi nences that overlook it, a sight at once fearful and sublime ; as I shall hereafter more particularly describe in noticing a short visit to Kilkee, a watering-place north of the estuary of the Shannon. Beset, too, with many sunken as well as visible isolated rocks, this coast is highly perilous to the mariner if it becomes a lee shore ; for though there are many natural havens, they are mostly what are called "blind har bours," from its being difficult or impossible to distinguish their entrances with certainty during gales, when the land is generally covered with thick and deceptive haze. The danger is increased by the backset, from the rugged shore, of the waves,—which, saving in the more placid summer months, have seldom time to subside after one gale before they are roused by another, probably from another point of the corn pass,—which produces a cross and precipitous sea, often more trying for vessels than the long roll, in one direction, of the outward, unimpeded ocean during the severest storm. Ire land, indeed, may, with reference to its western coast, be termed the great breakwater of England, at least from the Clyde to the British Channel; and there can be no doubt, that but for that island the port of Liverpool, in particular, would be blocked up with sand, and much of the low land to the north of it be encroached upon by the ocean. Shaping our course, when off Mizen Head, to the N.W., we successsively passed, before nightfall, the mouth of Bantry Bay, historically associated with the purposed descent of the French armament, many years ago, upon that part of the Irish coast, and the disastrous loss of nearly the whole of the ships employed in that reckless and unsuccessful expedi tion. The island of Dursey, the western termination of the county of Cork, forms the northern outer point bounding this arm of the sea, near which are three remarkable rocks, the Bull, the Cow, and Calf. Beyond them is the wide estuary of the Kenmare River, and further north is Bailin skellegs Bay, in South Kerry. Towards dark, sombre clouds, of a lurid hue, began to muster in the south-west, but the evening was otherwise fine, with a northerly wind, and the vessel steamed gallantly along the coast. We saw the light on the larger of the Skelligs Rocks about ten o'clock, and passed outside of them. We were then in a fair way for making the Shannon early next day ; but about two o'clock in the morning (Saturday) the wind chopped round to the south-west, and shortly afterwards increased to a gale. Had we had a ba rometer on board, we should, in all probability, have been induced, by its previous indication, to make Valentia, in Dingle Bay, or some other neighbouring harbour. As it was, Captain Kennedy was reminded of the marriage of Venus and the Moon. The wind, acting as the previous swell, soon produced a heavy cross sea ; and Captain Christie, (knowing that the vessel, from her light draught, suited for river navigation, would have less hold of the water than a seagoing ship, and calculating upon the chances of the wind veering to a less favourable point, and probably drifting us upon a lee shore) prudently stood out from the land, during night, to obtain a safe offing. The vessel (to use a maritime phrase) behaved admirably; though so cross and heavy was the sea, and so furious the gale, which finally increased to a hurricane, that the hull and engines were put to the severest test. Soon after 3 o'clock some high land was seen, supposed to be near Valentia, but too indistinctly defined to be identi fied. The spray dashed over the ship in continued sheets ; but such was her buoyancy that she roselike a duck, and shipped but few seas. From four o'clock in the morning till about ten, the storm continued without abatement, and the waves, which were broken and steep, rose mountains high. It might be sai m d , o i s n t d o e f ed, in t y hattliesea " yawned ed around us like a hell," begun threatening every moment to engulph us. fellow-passengers, and several of the men on board, although they had frequently been afloat, had, before sore destroye r of the storm,to the en tie o e y l m er, t, dire an effects of t o a f t 0 7 0 - f s sea-sickness, mental ness that and on the top . of bodily energ The violent tossing of the ship—now mount ingdescent into the a huge wave, now plunging down the deep abyss below, and simultaneously pitching from side to side —w as on by that, for some hours, no one could, without holdi ng iT h something, keep his feet on the deck or in the cabin ; an d " cast up their accounts," theoyulahy my companions did not listless and cheerless on the sofas, employing such arts they '9le rc Ir vailable (though not d m an r g o e ll r i o n u g s off s e a o s n o t o , n always effectual) to prevent themselves the floor,—a casualty which, even at that° MEDICAL MISSIONARIES We gave, some time ago, some extracts from the report of the English Medical Mission at Canton, in which our young townsman, Mr. W. Lockhart, is labouring with so much suc cess and devotedness ; and we are glad to see from another report, with which we have just been favoured, that the me dical missionaries of the United States are labouring amongst the Chinese with equal success. The following - passages from the latter report, which are from the pen of Dr. Parker, will be read with much interest : . "The Opthalmic Hospital at Canton was opened by the Rev. P. Parker, M.D., October, 1835, and the General Hospital at Macao, in July, 1838. Up to the 17th of June, 1840, these institutions had received upwards of 8000 patients, embracing every variety of disease. It was after lung effort that a place was found for a hospital ; and when at length a suitable building was rented, and previous notice had been given, the first day no patients ventured to come ; the second, a solitary female, affected with glaucoma, came ; the third day, half a dozen ; and soon they came in crowds. It is dif ficult to convey to a person who has not witnessed the scenes of the hospital a just idea of them. He needs to be present on a day for receiving new patients, and behold respectable women and children assembling at the door the preceding evening, and sitting all night in the streets, that they might be in time to obtain an early ticket, so as to be treated the same day. He need behold in the morning the long line of sedans extending far in each direction ; see the mandarins, with their attendant footmen, horsemen, and standard-bearers; observe the dense mass in the room below—parents lifting their children at arms' length above the crowd, lest they should be suffocated or injured; stand by during the exami nation and giving out of tickets of admission to the hall above, where they are registered and prescribed for, urgent cases being admitted at once, while others are directed to come in five or ten days, according to the ability to attend to them ; upon that floor witness one or two hundred selected from the hundreds below, (many being sent away, some, in deed, irremediable, but still more curable, and deserving at tention ;) officers of various rank, from the chief magistrate to the criminal judge of the province, sitting at the table of the physician, with scores of humbler fellow-citizens, seeking the same gratuity at the foreigner's hand. " Patients from all parts of the empire have availed them selves of the benefits of the hospital ; persons of all ranks, military, naval, and civil officers, the Nanhaeheer, or district magistrate, the custom-house officer, salt inspectors, pro vincial judges, provincial treasurer, a Tartar general, gover nors of provinces, commissioner Lin, and a member of the imperial family. ' The most unequivocal expressions of gratitude have been manifested both in words and in actions. The father, whose child, a beautiful daughter, had a tumour of seven lbs weight removed from her back, after she was discharged well returned with a scroll with a poetical inscription to the phy sician to this effect :—'A grievous disease had entwined itself around my little daughter ; I had gone in various directions seeking for physicians of distinction, and had expended much money upon them in vain ; when I heard of the foreign physician in the provincial city, 1 took my daughter by the hand, and repaired to his residence with the speed of a courser. He received and treated my daughter, removing the flaw from the gem, and now she is a perfect pearl again.' Thoughit is more than five years since the operation, the father retains the most lively gratitude, and returns from year to year with renewed expressions of it. Similar grati tude has been manifested by the young lady from Nanking, who was cured of a peculiar kind of excrescence growing upon the centre of the corner of her left eye. In one instance, a brother and sister, the one nineteen, snd the other twenty one, had cataracts, so that they had lived toget her for years without seeing each other's face. They were accompanied by their fond parents. When the operation was successfully performed for both, they were then, in the presence of their parents brought to see each other. The emotions of all were such as the occasion was calculated to produce. The feelings of Maze Yay, a Chinese officer still living, and who sends yearly remembrances to the physician, are expressed in a poem which may be found quoted in the Penny Magazine for July, 1837. The Tartar general, who had cataracts, on leav ing the hospital, remarked that he had been an office-bearer forty-one years ; had visited all the eighteen provinces of th e empire, ' but, (alluding to the operations of the hospital,) never have I seen or heard of one who does such things be fore' ; and burst forth in the exclamation, Taetith Teen shed to e ko jin' !—Superlative virtue ! the first man under heaven ! &c., &c.—Times.

The imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, Coast ways, and from Foreign ports, have been to a fair extent since Tuesday last; and from Canada the arrivals of Flour, continue very considerable. The weather with the exception of one day's heavy rain, has been fair, but cold and deficient of sunshine throughout the past week—favourable for securing Hay, but not very forwarding for the Crops of Grain, o f w hi c h , h owever , th e ap p earance g enerally is reported favourable. In the southern districts they seem to have been more critically situated, and no small alarm has been excited by the weather in the London markets, where a further advance of 2s to 3s per quarter on free, and of 4s to 5s on bonded Wheat, and on Flour in a similar proportion, has occurred ; and in consequence, the transactions have been more extensive here, and in our country markets, at nearly a similar advance. Sales have been made of fine English and Foreign free Wheat at 105 to 11 s, and at 7s to 88 per 70 lbs in bond ; American Flour at 37s to 355 per barrel free, and at 27s to 27s 6d per barrel in bond ; English Flour at 545 to 568, Irish at 52s to 545 per 280 lbs; Canadian Flour at 36s to 37s free, and at 33s to 34s per barrel in bond ; Oats have also experienced a better demand at an advance of Id to lid per 45 lbs ; and Oatmeal at 6d to 9d per 240 lbs ; a little increase has also oc curred on all other articles in the Corn trade which have partici. pated in this improvement. The duties on Barley, Indian Corn, Buck Wheat, and Peas, from Foreign ports, have decreased, on Friday last, Is 6d per quarter; on other Grain no ateration ; several very considerable transac tions have occurred in bonded Wheat and Flour as above men tioned, and the chief part of the recent arrivals from Canada is going into bond for the present, in hopes of the lowest duties be coming payable, of 6d per quarter, and 4d per barrel. Notwithstanding the check which occurred yesterday in the excitement prevalent during the past week in Mark Lane, the ad vance in prices for every article in the Corn trade as above noticed was supported at this day's market, though the transactions were only to a moderate extent.

There is still a good demand for pan and grocery descriptions, and prices continue to look up. The average price of brown or Muscovado Sugar, com puted from the returns made in the week ending July 20, 1841, is 36s 00 per cwt., exclusive of the duties of customs paid or pay able thereon on the importation thereof into Great Britain. HULL CORN MARKET, JULY 27 Since my report of last Tuesday—the weather continued wet and cold up to last Friday, so much so as to cause considerable excite ment in the trade, and a strong speculative feeling was evinced, particularly for Wheat under lock, which met ready buyers, at daily advancing prices. Since Friday there has been a favourable change, which still continues, and the trade is comparatively quiet--I note, however, the advance on the week to be 2s to 3s per qr. on bonded Wheat, and is to 2s per qr. on free foreign. Very little passing in Oats, Beans, or Barley. SALFORD CATTLE MAKKET, JULY 28 There was a fair supply of Beasts to-day, and of Sheep and Lambs it was good. The demand for Beef being equal to the sup. ply, and maintained last week's rates. Best prime Mutton and Lamb was the trifle dearer. Best Beef bid to 7d per lb. ; Mutton 6.3 d to 6:id per lb.; Lamb 6d to 7d per lb. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALL.OW ,MARKET.—JULY 28.

Tallow 4s 6d per stone of 14 lbs. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 28 We have no change to remark upon, in our Cotton market, the demand continues very limited, and purchasers operate very spairingly under these circumstances ; prices are barely maintained, particularly in the middle and low qualities of American Cotton. in which the buyer has a decided advantage over last week, though we cannot quote a decided decline. The sales amount to 2,500 bales, of which 4 to 500 have been bought for export. The diffi culty of getting white Cotton seems daily to increase, and the market is glutted with low red descriptions. COTTON MARKET. Jvcy sg Our market continues as flat and inanimate as it well can be with the necessary daily demand upon it. Buyers get their Cotton gradually upon easier terms, without not being able to quote a decided decline ; this will apply only to the low descriptions of American. The sales to-day amount to 3000 bales, inclusive of a sale of 750 Peruvians at 72d, made yesterday at the close of 'Change. Several buyers for export have been in the market to-day, but their transactions have not transpired. We close with much dullness, and every symptom of want of confidence.
