Vottrp. LINES 'WRITTEN 'UNDER THE FEELINGS EXCITED BY R E ADING GRAY'S ODE, THE " PROGRESS OF POESY. (For the Liverpool Standard.) What art thou, Power unseen, My spirit's depths revealing, Waking feelings that have been L ong quenched, or haply now but spring New-born from some teeming cave 'Neath the soul's unfathomed wave? Lo ! they rise, in tumult strong, Bursting from that living deep ; Burning thoughts upon me throng, Wild ecstacies my spirits steep; Too heavy seem these bonds of clay— My soul would burst them, and away ! Retune my lyre, sweet Poesy ! Awake to life each silent string ! On thy suppliant child—on me The shadow of thy mantle fling ! Raise my fluttering wing from earth ; Give these pressing visions birth ! See aloft each glowing car Through paths ethereal fly ! Gazing, blinded, from afar, I long to soar with them on high ; Still, though chained to earth I be, Struggling, struggling to be free ! But though my footsteps may not climb, Mighty Parnassus! thy dread steep, Yet I may pluck the fragrant thyme That round thy flowery base cloth creep, And there full many a chaplet wild Shall twine, Oh muse ! thy lowly child. G. E. M. SECOND EDITION. ROMANTIC STORY. The following strange story appears in the Se'maphore of Marseilles. Whether considered as a hoax, or as a proof of the extent to which the burning imagination of the south has carried the writer, it is not unworthy of being reproduced. No suspicion of the girl's being an imposter seems to have occurred to the writer or the authorities :—" We have a touching history to relate to our readers. There is at present in this city a young girl, sixteen years of age, and of remark able beauty, scarcely able to speak a dozen words of French, who has been afflicted with extraordinary misfortunes at more than a thousand leagues from her native country. A man, to whom she was entrusted by a charitable lady at Valence to conduct to Marseilles, presented her within these last few days to the commissary of police. All he could re late of the young girl's history was, that the lady found her weeping bitterly in the midst of a field, and unable, either by gestures or language, to make herself understood. As Mar seilles possesses consuls of all the powers in Europe, speak ing, of course, the languages of the nations they represent, she has been spoken to in fifteen different tongues, without any one of them being her own. As the words • Russe' and • Nicholls' were frequently uttered by her, it was thought she might speak Russian; but when taken to the Russian consul, he could not comprehend a word she uttered. She is at present under the care of the Sisters of Charity of the Hotel Dieu, until something certain shall be discovered of her sad history. She is tall, with regular features, and thick light hair. Her air is melancholy, and her eyes are frequently filled with tears. She wrote in our presence, her name and country in close characters, which no person could decipher, and which would have puzzled the intelligence of a Champo lion. This young girl was born in the Ukraine, the kingdom of the Hetcnan Mazeppa. She must have been born there, for her gestures intimate It clearly. She also gave us to un derstand that she was accustomed to riding ; that the priests of ber country wear long beards, and that there is much marshy ground, in which persons sank up to their knees. Our readers will desire probably to know how this fair maid of the Ukraine has come to Marseilles. Her father is an Englishman, named Joseph Protman ; he married a woman named Vicbtochtiff, a native of the Ukraine, and from this marriage was born the young girl at present here, .w . hose name is Juliah. The words ' Constantine' and vine,' which she pronounced, would seem to indicate that her father, a merchant or mechanician, which, by the way, are not vxactly the same thing, resided five years in one of these two towns, and that he had gone from that part of Africa to seek his family on the banks of the Don. This father of hers must have a mother of great age residing in some town in England. He travelled in a very handsome carriage, drawn by two horses, with his wife, his daugh ter, and a maid servant, and he entered into France through Switzerland. It is by the aid of the words Papa Anglais ; grande maman en Angleterre ; papa a Constantine et Philippeville ; papa en Ukraine ; Suisse ; France ; voiture ; mamaa ; deux chevaux ; une cuisiniere'— that we have constructed the account just given. It appears, further, that, within two days' journey of Valence, a quarrel arose between her father and some other persons at an inn, that the day was rainy, and that the maid of the Ukraine being seized with fear fled across the fields. She afterwards tried to find her parents, but lost her way. She walked on next day, and was robbed of her watch by some women who were working at the vintage. For two days she wan dered about, and at last met the charitable lady who sent her to Marseilles. The maid of the Ukraine wears under her clothes a pair of long trousers, after the fashion of her coun try, and is as natural. Amongst the ten or twelve words of French which she retains, figure those of mort and mourir, which she pronounces often, to intimate that she will not survive her frightful misfortunes. She wears round her neck a medal, on one side of which is a cross, and on the other an image of the Virgin. When interrogated about Czar Nicholas, she gave us to understand that she had seen him, that he was of lofty stature, and had a severe air. She, however, pro fesses a great veneration for him. The motives of our col lecting together the slightest details of this melancholy story will be appreciated ; we have acted thus in the hope of re storing this unfortunate girl to her parents, whose cruel anguish it is easy to imagine." The same paper, of a later date, states that nothing new has transpired respecting the young stranger, of whom it has given Fair romantico mai o ti a e i c account, and I m i v e h i o s it!l i has surnamed et of he the Sisters of Charity, one of whom is endeavouring to teach her French. She is apparently in great distress of mind, though not yet, the writer in the Semaphore declares, fully impressed with an idea of the full extent of her melancholy situation. A young Russian , residing at Marseilles, whose fame as a linguist is considerable, was brought to see her, and he declares that the tongue which she speaks is not that of the inhabitants of the Ukraine. He thinks that she comes from Greenland, that the name of her father is Pistisutii, and that the part of Greenland from which she comes is Abraz lana. All this is, however, mere conjecture ; the real history of the young stranger is still unknown. THE GASTRIC JUICE.—Worms in the alimentary canal resist the agency of the gastric juice so long as they are alive ; but when dead they are then subject to the laws which govern inanimate matter, and are consequently digested or expelled like the ordinary contents. This fact affords a good reason for using cold boiled water, as the high temperature to which it is raised must kill the animalcules that may be found in this fluid, and thus they are rendered easy of digestion. It is a remarkable circumstance, first observed by John Hunter, and referable to the same principle, that the gastric juice will, when the individual dies, dissolve the very stomach that had secreted this powerful solvent, and had resisted its action when living. The knowledge of this fact was the means of acquitting an individual accused of the crime of poisoning.—Philosophy for the Public. SCENE IN A LONDON OMNIBUS.—WeII, this London is a strange place. There is no knowing the gentleman from the swindler—the man of " ton" from the man of " tun." Yesterday, returning from the city, in the Strand, an ex quisite, bearded like the pard, and a new zephyr cloak for 1842 carelessly flung over his jewelled band, entered the omnibus in which were your humble servant, and seven other ladies. He aped the "lady-killer"—stiff in stock, and trussed up to the " mode." In a moment I found a hand passing my waist, and gently descending to my pockets. I made a slight movement. The exquisite pick-pocket became alarmed at my discovery, and removed his digits; but I re mained on the look-out for a second attempt. In a short time afterwards we had a new arrival, in the form of a dashing elderly lady, who was admitted at Piccadilly. Her trip was short. Near Burlington House she unclasped an ornamented reticule, then unlocked a splendid purse, well stored with rarer aces, yclept " Victorias." Taking from amidst these chirping canaries the needful siller sixpence, she called a halt at Birlington Arcade. While she extended her hand to the omnibus mercury, I saw the beau jump quickly from the vehicle, closing his zephyr about him, and rush hastily up the Arcade steps. I called out, " Oh, madam, look have You your purse ; I am sure you have been robbed ?" " Think you, ma'm," said she. " Well I never—did you ever—?" " No, never." Out I bounced, followed by the victim. We both gave chase. " Stop thief—stop dandy— there he goes—stop thief !" shouted we. The swindler turned the corner, and got to Lord Anglesey's house. On we came, but behind us arose a din similar to the music, "once heard, ne'er to be forgotten," of some half-score of donkies in a chorus arranged for the purpose, and forth came the omnibus guard. " Ladies," s.,id he, " you did not pay your sixpences, and you are not going to give us the slip after that fashion." The fact was, in our hurry to overtake a swindle r , we were ourselves mistaken for a pair , having , in our hurry, forgotten to pay our fare. We were obliged to discontinu e the pursuit, and the youth in the zephyr escaped, carrying with him twenty-seven sovereigns. The following story, related by the Gazette des Tribunaux, is a new version of a tare given long since in some of the Paris papers by way of a quiz at John Bull. The Gazette says English (MM. les Anglais) have now and then eccentricitie s to which it is impossible to habituate ourselves, although the f requency o f our re l at i ons h as i n some measure msde us f am ili ar with their whims. An eccentricity o f t hi s nature has just brought M. Fressar t before the Tribunal of Correctional P o li ce at the suitofSir Plakett. On the 2d ult., at six in the evenin M. Fressart entered a restaurant on the Bouleva r d du T e mple to take his dinner. All the tables were fully occupied,at w hich was seated only a single Person, although one the table was large enough for four. M. Fressart politely asked permission to place himselfy hed thisper son, and approac . at the same table. Je voulais bien tr e s volontiers,' replied the person addressed, who was no other than Sir Plakett. M. Fressart took his seat, and dined tranquilly opposite the Englishman, who went on eating without saving anoth er word. having finished first, rose, and went to the bar to pay his bill. An instant afterwards, the waiter who had served M. Fressart went to him, and inquire d whethe r h e would take anything paying else, as my lord wasthe bill for both and it would time. be included at the same . `Paying my bill l' said M. ,is be mad ? ' and, rising immediately , he went Fressart ; Englishman stood, pick' his to the bar where the bill. 'Mylo d , teeth and waiting patiently for th e very politely r said M. Fres saat, I thank you for having conc eded to me but that was quite suffic ient, and a portion of your table, my own bill. ' Si r beg you will allow me to pay .

At length, The Frenchman laughed, but remain of the Frenchman, exasperated at the refusal and laughter h his fist. Sir Plakett struck him a blow on the s tow ac h a bo wit ttle which Furious at this attack, M. Fressart took up was at hand, and struck Sir Plakett wit h it on the head, causing him to bleed profusely. The master of the house now interfered, and separated the combatants. Sir Plakett, however, who had become seriously injured , laid his _ com plaint before the police authorities, and M. Fress art a pp eared to answer the charge. The President of the Tribu nal said to Sir Plakett, It was you who provoked M. Fressart. Why did you strike him ? ' Sir Plakett—Because he refused to allow me to pay for his dinner, and laughed in my face. President —His repugnance to allow you to pay his bill is easily to be conceived. Sir Plakett —ln England we are hospitable: if we had been in London under the same cir cumstances, and I had dined at his table, I should have al lowed him to pay my bill. The President next addressed the defendant, and lectured him very severely for having, even with the provocation of a blow, resorted to an act of such violence as that of which he had been guilty, and which might have caused death. M. Fressart replied that he was so excited by the blow that he knew not what he did. He had laughed until then ; but after receiving a blow, the se cret of administering which h known only to the Eng li sh, he lost all self-control. He was found guilty, and con- VIE demned to pay a fine of 150 francs and th e coats. WS I' p Ea • _ .LS 4jOtttfaAl7 Standard-office, Three o' Clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tats Day. (From Messrs. R. MAKIN S• SONS' Circular.) About 3295 quarters of Irish with 1300 quarters of Foreign, comprise the only arrivals of Wheat into this port since Tuesday last, and Coastwise we have little to notice ; of Oats, however, a good, and of Oatmeal a large supply re ported from Ireland; while the receipts of Flour thence are comparatively light, owing to the long dry season, and the consequent want of water for the mills, which a change in the weather and much rain within the last few days will ob viate, and we may therefore expect more regular shipments of the article from that source ere long. The slightly improved aspect in the Wheat trade her towards the end of last week, added to a rather firmer feel ing in the course of yesterday, when a few thousand quarters of duty-paid foreign again changed hands, were followed up at this day's market by a fair inquiry for Wheat of most descriptions; the sellers, however, generally requiring an advance of 2d. to 3d. per 701bs. upon the currency of Tuesday last, which was reluctantly and but partially com plied with; and the transactions were materially curtailed in consequence, being altogether but upon a very moderate scale. English and Irish Flour fully supported former prices, and Foreign was 6d. per barrel dearer. Malting Barley was is., and Malt 2s. per qr. cheaper, with a limited demand for each ; Grinding Barley was also the turn lower. Beans and Pease unvaried.

The demand for Cotton to-day is very moderate ; the sales do not exceed 12 or 1500 bales, at full prices, with a steady market. MISCELLANEOUS. A cargo of potatoes from Guernsey has been disposed3F Bristol this week, at about 3s. per sack, or 3d. per 201bs. We are happy to s ,, that Sir William Geary, formerly M.P. for West Kent, who met with the extrordinary acciden which we mentioned last year is now out of danger. Pope's works Lave recently been translated into German by Adolph Bcettger and Theodor Oelkers ; the former the successful trap a or of Byron, the latter of Moore. sTbe Brighto," arriers on Wednesday, in pursuit of a hare, rushed over an embandment on the railway, into a cutting upwards of 30 feet deep, and several were lamed by the fall. Her royal highness the Princess Sophia continues residing at Broadstairs, where she intends remaining until November. There is a well of good fresh water at Newton, near Porth Cawl, Glamorganshire, and within a quarter of a mile of the sea ; but, strange to relate, when the tide is full the well is dry, and when the tide is out there are six or seven feet of water in it. It appears that the duty on about 123,000 quarters of foreign wheat has been paid at this port during the last two weeks, and it is estimated that three-fourths of the quantity is still in granary.—Newcastle Journal. There is now growing in a garden at Barnard Castle, Dur ham, belonging to Mr. James Rose, a very fine bed of straw berries, perfectly ripe, being the second crop this season ; the same garden has also produced an extraordinary crop of onions. fine of which measured 174 inches in circumference. A gentleman of Black Torrington has an otter that is quite domesticated, and so tame that it accompanies him about like a dog. The animal is so under command that it will go into the river, catch fish, and bring them out to his master. Western Luminary. GOOD FRUITS OF THE INCOME TAX.—A few cf the ab sentees are corning back to evade the payment of the Income Tax. The Marquis of Clanricarde and the Marquis of Ely have arrived, others of our nobility are coming, and several of our gentry have already returned.—Waterford Chronicle. - _ FEROCITY OF THE BOAR.—Mr. Charles Matcham, of the Globe Inn, Andover, lost a valuable cow on Monday week, which had been so seriously injured by the attack of a boar, literally ripping open the poor animal's stomach, that it was obliged to be immediately killed. FOREIGN POTATOES.—Amongst the imports of the present week have been half a cargo of potatoes, brought by the Francisa Maria, from Amsterdam. We have heard that the quality is well spoken of, and we suppose we may now set down our Dutch neighbours as regular competitors in this market.—Hull paper. PENZANCE.—The schooner Earl of Devon, which was sunk in the Bay on the 3d of February, 1841, and was pur chased as she lay for 200 guineas, having been raised and brought into the pier with great labour, and at a cost of from £1,200 to £1,400, was brought to the hammer last week, and knocked down for £260. West of England Conservative.

DEANERY OF FERNS.—His Excellency the Lord Lieute nant of Ireland has been pleased to appoint the Rev. Henry Newland, D.D., to the deanery of Ferns, some time vacant by the demise of the Very Rev. Peter Browne. The deanery includes a benefice of the value of £B5O per annum, besides other advantages. We are happy to state that the Right Hon. the President of the Board of Trade, Mr Gladstone, has quite recovered from the effects of his recent severe accident at Hawarden Castle, but he is still obliged to carry his left arm in a sling, having, as already stated, had the misfortune to suffer ampu tation of the forefinger of that hand. The price of butchers' meat, with the exception of that of beef, has fallen materially in price at several of the provincial markets within the last few weeks. At Berwick, lamb is selling at 4d. and 44d., mutton 5d., and pickled pork sd. per lb. At Newcastle, mutton and lamb are still selling at 6d., and beef at 7d., per lb. THE CHARTIST CONVICTS AT CHESTER.—We have been informed that a petition to the Queen is in the course of preparation, praying for a remission of the sentence of such of the prisoners as had been somewhat severely dealt with, the ground of the petition being that the judge, in his address to the grand jury, had prejudiced their trials.—Stockport Advertiser. A clergyman, residing at Ilchester, when collecting tithes of a farmer, understanding that his wife was lately confined with twins, took them as the tithes of the farmer's progeny. This occurred several years back, and the children are now living under the care of their benefactor, receiving an educa tion that will ultimately enable them to aspire to respectabi lity of station in life. MILK, HALLO !-A Chesire farmer, residing near Crewe, in consequence of the fall i❑ cheese, determined to discon tinue manufacturing that article, and instead to send genuine milk to Liverpool, and actually, by contracting with the railway company, now conveys this nutritious article a dis tance of 43 miles, delivering the same by half-past eight o'clock in the morning.—Chester Chronicle. DEATH OF THE LORD ADVOCATE OF SCOTLAND.—We regret to announce the death of the Right Hon. Sir William Rae, Bart., which took place on Tuesday evening, at his residence, St. Catherine's, near Edinburgh. He had been for some time in a weak state of health, and was advanced in life. He bad filled the appointment of lord advocate from the accession of Sir Robert Peel to office. On Sunday week, his Grace the Archbishop of York preached in the chapel at Bishopthorpe to a nu merous con gregation, the chapelbeing . full, as it was unde rs t oo d t o b e the last sermon the bishop intended to preach, i n consequence of his very advanced age , having on Monday last completed his 85th year. The text was most appropriate—" The night cornett' when no man can work.:: We rejoice to learn that the Wasp corvette has been com missioned at Chatham by Captain Drew, who so gallantly distinguished himself during the revolt in Canada.

THE PItESTON GUILD ROBBERY.—At the Knutsford Ses sions, on Wednesday last, Eliza Bayley, who was committed from Birkenhead, for the robbery of Mr. J.

The King was seated on his throne, and was at tended by the Queen, Prince John, and the Dowager of Mecklenburgh-Schwerin, and surrounded by his ministers. In the afternoon there was a grand court dinner in the Throne-room. EXPLOSIOS OF A STEANI BOILER.--On Tuesday morning last the inhabitants of the town of Middlesbro' were alarmed by the explosion of a large boiler, used at the iron-works of Messrs. Bolkow and Vaughan, around which a great num ber of workmen were engaged when the dreadful catastrophe took place. Three men were killed, and about eighteen or twenty wounded ; one man was sent with considerable force, by a piece of the boiler, into a mass of fire, and was seen to expire in the midst of it. Little hopes are entertained of many of the sufferers.—Leeds hitelligencer. On Monday week, at 11 o'clock at night, Mr. Abraham Gale, 24 years of age, left the Chequers Inn, near Chippen ham, on horseback, on his way home to Biddestone. The next morn;ng his body was found dead on the road near Beckell Wood, not far from his house. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of " accidental death." There appears to be a remarkable fatality in this family—the father of Mr. Gale having been accidentally killed in riding home from Chippenham market about three years since, and a younger brother of the deceased having been also accidentally killed six or seven years previously.—Devizes Gazette. MACHINE FOR MEASURING THE VELOCITY OF THE PIS TON.—This ingenious machine, the invention of the late Capt., Tregaskis, was explained by Mr. Philips, of Tuck ingmill. Its necessity arose from the fact of the piston moving with variable speed. Ranged round the inside of a circular box were fourteen compartments which passed under a stream of sand flowing through a small hole in the bottom of an inverted cone, as sand in an hour-glass. These being connected by a cord with the piston, the whole fourteen would receive a share of the falling sand, in proporiion to the rapidity of its movement beneath it ; and it was only neces sary to weigh the deposits of sand to ascertain the compari tive velocities, the velocity being, of course, in an inverse ratio to the weight of sand. Thus, as the piston at first move- slowly, the first compartment will receive the largest quantity of sand. The greatest velocity seemed to be at the point of time at which the fourth compartment passed ; and the least velocity at the last, the motion beginning to be retarded at the sixth division. GLOOMY PROSPECTS OF THE IRON TRADE.—The October series of iron-masters' quarterly meetings are just ended. Gloomy and dull as the season they have been ; the business done has been comparatively trifling, and the future prospects of the trade are disheartening in the extreme. Consequent on the late stoppage of the works, a rise on the then ruinously low price of iron of £1 per ton was attempted, and, in many instances, paid. but prices have again receded, and the at tempt to maintain in the current quarter a rise of 10s. will, t • doubt, prove abortive. The demand created by the stoppage of the works is supplied, and the orders now issued will only be for such quantities as are required for immediate use: what this will be may be inferred from the fact that the chain and trace trade is nearly at a stand still, while the de mand for nails is daily decreasing. Some idea may be formed of the extent of the reduction in the make of iron, from tt,e fact that one work, which has usually paid from z£1.500 to £l6OO for carriage per quarter, has not incurred an expense of £7O on the same account in the one just ended.— Worcester Chronicle. CATTLE AND PROVISIONS AT HULL.—The importations of prime Holstein cattle continue undiminished at this port, with every appearance of an increased business. Last week, for the half-yearly fair, there arrived, by the steamers from Hamburg, 92 oxen, 44 cows, and 21 swine. This week we have had from ..- -- HAMBURG. Oxen. Cows. Swine.

PRICES OF PROVISIONS IN THE METROPOLIS.—III Ox ford -street, Tottenham Court Road, Shoreditch, the New Cut, Lambeth, Lambeth and Vauxhall Walks, and the prin cipal thoroughfares, provisions are at present selling at the following moderate prices, viz.:—Prime legs of mutton at 6d. and 64d. per lb.; shoulders, 51d. per lb. ; necks, 4d. and 44d. per lb. Beef—roasting pieces, 64d. per lb., coarse pieces in proportion. Westphalia hams, 74d. per lb. ; York shire, from 6d. to 74d. per lb. Prime Wiltshire bacon, 6d. per lb. by the half side. Berwick pork, from 44d. to 54d. per lb. ; dairy-fed pork, from 54d. to 60. per lb. The best household bread can be had at 64d. the 41b. loaf, and some rather coarser may be bought at 54d. and 6d. the 41b. loaf. Butter at Bd., 9d., 10d., and the best Dorset at ls. per lb. Gloucester cheese, 6d. to Bd. per lb. ; Cheshire, 7d. to 84d. per lb. ; Dutch, 44d. to 54d. per lb. Although the foregoing are the general prices, still inferior articles can be purchased at a much lower rate.—London paper. Such a long continuance of drought at this season has not been experienced for half a century ; and the consequence is that there are now few miles in the country, driven by water, which have a sufficient supply, and many are completely stopped. Our own line of works upon the Shaws Water. we regret to say, have to a certain extent been affected by the scarcity, as they were yesterday put upon short allowance, and are to work only half time until the watery influence re gain the ascendancy. It is but proper to state, that this stoppage would not have occurred, even from the protracted drought, had it not been that the sluice on Loch Thom be. came, from some cause or other, unworkable a short time since; and to repair it, it was necessary to run off a depth of about 26 feet of water, being fully equal to three months sup ply ; still leaving abundance, under ordinary circumstances, to meet the usual wants of the mills, had the customary sup ply of rain descended this season.— Greenock Advertiser. RAPID VEGETATION.—Some surprise was expressed by a correspondent, the other week, at hearing that a second crop had been obtained from the same ground in one year by Mr. M. Brown. This was most satisfactorily explained by Mr. Brown ; but we have something still more surprising for the ears of our correspondent—namely, the raising of a thirJ crop from the same ground ! This has been done by our worthy friend Mr. Moor, of Houghton, in the garden of Mr. Stordy, of Cross-hill. After taking two crops of potatoes off the ground, he planted a third in the first week in Aug.; and on Thursday last we had the pleasure of partaking of a dish from that planting ; and certainly finer flavoured pota toes we never tasted. They were of large size, and the crop is abundant. We were also shown by Mr. Moor a sample of new potatoes grown from seed raised this year !—a circum stance, we believe, almost unparailed. They were planted the second week in August, are already of a good size, and present a most healthy appearance. It is Mr. Moor's in tention to let them grow till Christmas. Fro m a t ree i n t h e same garden in which these wonders have been witnessed a dozen pears were taken this week, which weighed upwards of twelve ounces each, and measured twelve inches round. The pear is called the English Ball, ha s b u t recent l y b een intro ducedinto this country from A mer i ca , an d can b e k ept i n perfection till March or April.—Carlisle Journal. FATAL COLLISION.—A dreadful collision happened on the night of Monday last off the eastern coast, between Whitby and Stockton, which unhappily terminated in the total des truction of a vessel and the loss of two lives. The vessels which came in contact were the Despatch, a schooner be longing to London, and the sloop Margaret and Ellen, of Leith. The accide n t t oo k pl ace b e t ween seven an d e i g ht o'clock within a few miles of the village of Runswick, situate seven miles to the north of Whitby, during a heavy sea and a gale of wind from the westward. Both vessels were in full trim, and scudding through the water at a rapid rate—the schooner bearing down to the north, and the Margaret and Ellen progressing on her passage, in a southerly direction to London. Upon the vessels nearing, those on board the Dis patch exerted every nerve to avoid coming in contact ; they altered the course, and shouted to the crew of the Margaret and Ellen to do the same ; instead of which—no doubt con fused—they brought her in direct opposition. The result was that in the next fi.oment the sloop r a n upon the schooner with tremendous violence. The crash is described to have been terrific. The consternation of those on board the schooner and sloop was of a description easily imagined, and up-in it somewhat subsiding, the latter was discovered to be fast sinking, and her crew were excla iming " 0, God save we are going down." By that period the Dispatch had disentangled itself from the rigging of the sloop, and was not space to allow the unfortunate crew to get on board. The master however, with several of his men, set about launching the ship's boat, but by the time that was accom plished, a period not more than three minutes, the sloop went down, carrying with her two of the crew ; the res tmi raculously saved themselves by springing to a rope that was hanging over the bows of the Dispatch at the moment of their vessel sinking. The following is given from an official statistical return of the convicts at the Bagnes on the Ist January, 1842 :—The total number was 6,908, of whom 271 were invalids. Their ages were-156 between 16 and 20; 1,868 between 21 and 30 ; 2,204 between 31 and 40 ; 1,663 between 41 and 50 t 732 between 51 and 60; 285 between 61 and 69. There were 4,139 bachelors, 515 married men without children, 534 with one child, 1,351 with several children, 117 widowers without children, 77 with only one child, and 175 with several chil dren. 4,128 could neither read nor write; 2,012 could read and write imperfectly ; 650 could read and write well, and 114 had received superior primary education. The crimes of which they were convicted were, attempts to commit murder, 175 ; conspiracy, 72 ; fraudulent bankruptcy, 11 ; bigamy, 5 ; cutting and maiming, 109 ; malversation by public officers, 24 ; political, 3 ; desertion after paadqp, 4 ; poisoning, 69 ; extortion of money by acts of vitittre, 15; forgery, 192; coining, 116 ; perjury, 6 ; arson,..t3R; resistance with vio lence to legal authorities, 13; obtaining money by threats, 3 ; murder, 867 ; parricide, 18 ; plunder in bands, 13 ; rebel lion, 9; selling military accoutrements, 3; rapes, 314: rob beries, 4,546; accumulation of crimes, 182. Duration of punishment under 5 years, 22; from 5 to 10 years, 3,097; from 11 to 20 years, 1,268 ; from 21 to 30 years, 570 ; from 31 to 40 years, 58 ; from 41 to 50 years, 26 ; from 51 to 60 years, 6; for life, 1,861. Among the various stations in life filled by the convicts previous to their condemnations, 12 were anatomists, physicians, or surgeons ; 50 veterinary sur geons or farriers; 30 hotel and innkeepers, and masters of lodging-houses ; 32 jewellers and goldsmiths; 26 makers of lace and embroideries ; 9 coffee-house keepers ; 15 chasers and engravers ; 1 comedian ; 22 restaurateurs, &c. ; 220 do mestic servants ; 7 druggists and herborists ; 5 ecclesiastics ; 6 public functionaries ; 12 opticians and mathematical instru ment makers ; 2 men of letters ; 5 men of law; 27 school masters and professors ; 37 watchmakers and mechanicians ; 105 military men ; 7 musicians ; 9 merchants ; 7 notaries; 39 proprietaires, or men of independent property, EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF IMPRISONMENT UNDER THE BANKRUPT LAW. — A printed circular has recently been published by a Mr. John Dufrene, co m pl a i n i ng o f the injustice of an imprisonment in the Queen's Bench Prison, of which be has been the victim, of upwards of 30 years. It will be perhaps the best to quote the words of the circular itself, because that document sets forth the case of the pri soner in his own words :—" Mr. John Dufrene, a respecta ble merchant of Leeds, was declared a bankrupt in the year 1812, the petitioning creditor having sworn to a debt of £6OO, whereas Mr. Dufrene states that the petitioning creditor was indebted to him £670. When he was brought before the Commissioners he disputed their auth or it y to procee d aga i nst him without a petitioning creditor's debt; but they took his property from him, and committed him to p r i son . H e t h en appealed to Lord Chancellor Eldon, before whom his case had several hearings without any decision. His last hearing in Chancery was before Lord Brougham ; and the report in the Times newspaper of September, 1833, states that " The Lord Chancellor rose without giving judgment." His Lord ship, having afterwards resigned the Seals of Office, lost all judicial authority to grant an order for a sitpersedeas of the commission to which Mr. Dufrene became entitled at that hearing. His friends being all dead, by whom he was for some years well supported, his health and life h ave s i nce been, and are now, placed in jeopardy . through ext reme pri vations connected with his support in the Queen's Bench Prison, where there is no regular gratuitous allowance to sus tain life." This statement is concluded by an appeal to the public for pecuniary aid in order to obtain redress, and s t ates that subscriptions will be t hankfull y received by the Rev. Dr. Pye Smith, Homerton; Rev. John Burnet, Camberwell ; and by Messrs. Carlisles, Pitman, and Co., 11, Bow-lane, Cheapside. Whatever may be the merits of Mr. Dufrene, or whatever may be the causes which have led to his impri• sonment, it is impossible for an y unprejudiced person to form a judgment from an ex parte statement coming either from himself or from those opposed to him, and it can only truth i t r il l a e court an be arrivedo f upon ut a a t f e a a investigation, m e time, i t t i h a a t the investigationsuffi ciently a thatt shall the gi v case m his l demands,liberty, r t w y i , without . t delay,f hehave an e acted dishonestly, define his punishment and Inflict it. The very fact of a man having been 30 years in prison upon any thing but a final adjudication of his case, is a disgrace to the laws of the country, and an evil that should at once be reme died. - • • a .- % sr 4 4%;r777.7..• e • \, .1% 1 4'.7"} - ,•?;:;" 't7 0 v .; . :„... -...... : -.,. :1r .4 . • ~r.„ th' - , - ",- - -77 - 1--,, 4 e',04,7, —.-4 4; --.

On Saturday last, a darkish cabriolet, containing a mili tary-looking gentleman, luxuriating in all the hirsute glory of imperial, moustache, and " hyacinthine locks of ebon hue," was observed making the circuit of Berkeley-square for up wards of three quarters of an hour. The attention of several persons was attracted to the " turn out," first, from the very frequent protrusion of the " head piece" of the cab-(gentle-) man, who was evidently on the look-out; and, secondly, from the extraordinary diminutive appearance of the tiger attached to the vehicle, who might, had he lived in days of yore, safely have competed with that renowned dwarf, Jeffery Hudson, for the honour of being served up in a pie at the royal table. As time wore on, the military-looking gent. began to evince evident symptoms of growing impatience. He was observed frequently to consult his watch, and then, leaning forward in the cab, gaze anxiously in the direction of Brook. street. Suddenly the figure of a female, closely veiled, appeared at the corner of the street. The quick eye of the gallant cabman detected the " fair " in an instant. A smart " flanker " awoke the spirited horse into action, and in the twinkling of a love-glance the lady was seated by the side of the imperialled driver, and the vehicle dashed off at a rapid pace towards Oxford-street. The cabriolet had barely been put in motion, ere a remarkably stout and pursy-looking individual rushed to the spot. He gesticulated with an energy truly wonderful for a man of his exceeding bulk, and in a voice resembling the groan of a broken-winded bagpipe, he bawled out, " Stop, stop I" As well might he have roared " Hold hard," to a n engineer on the Great Western, who with the steam up, had just started for his terminus. The driver of the cabriolet heeded not the foot-board behind the vehicle, swung c w r h y o , b o i fh it c t i h a e ted au o d h aci t o h u e s f y o o o u t g imp, of j uven ile delinquency, himself round on the heel of his top-b oo t, an d actually tele graphed the " roarer " with his five digits, after the most approved style of the " fancy when sportively inclined. The pursy-looking individual, finding that his request was not attended to, waxed exceedingly wroth and eccentric. He flung his hat violently on the pavement, and commenced a sort of pas seul on the beaver of an extraordinary and novel description, to the infinite delight of an admiring crowd, who began to collect around him. The reiterated shouts of laughter from the byestanders at last, ho wever , somewhat restrained the exuberance of his feelings. He gathered up the compressed beaver, buttoned up his surtout with the air of a desperate man, and forthwith depart e d f rom th e scene of his serio-comic exhibition. It has si nce b een ascer t a i ne d that the military-looking driver of the cabriolet is a bona fide son of M.-,rs, being no less a personage than Lieut. G—s, of the twenty--, and the fair partner of his flight is the only daughter of an opulent wool..merchant, residing in the vicinity of the, square. The fair fugitive, who is nineteen years of age, will, on attaining her twenty-first year, become entitled to a fortune of £35,000. No intelligence has been obtained of the course taken by the runaways.—Era. THE GARDEN.—You must not find fault with my forma lity in gardening. I love, to my very heart, the old English taste in horticulture—its neat square shrubberies; its wide gravel walks crossing eaeh other at right angles; its numer. ous parterres, each of which is devoted to one kind of flower ; its clipt hedges, its well-shaven lawn, its primitive time keeper (the sun-dial), its statues, and the sparkling gush of its fountains. A garden is essentially a thing of art, and should look artful. Is not every plant in its present exube rant beauty, the result of man's handicraft and daily-renewed culture? Why, then, should we, according to modern ca price. strive to give our gardens the appearance of the irre gularity of untamed nature, and place our delicate, and (so to speak) highly-educated floral children in mimic wilder nesses ? Such a style is discordant in itself ; and, moreover, is not in keeping with the sentiment of home, from which a garden is inseparable.—Charles Oliver in Ainstvorth'a Ma gazine for October. A curious scene occurred before the Tribunal Correctional Police on Saturday. A man, named Claude Giniez. sixty five years of age, was charged with vagabondage. On being asked by tit president whether he had no relations who would undertake to provide for him, and thus prevent his condemnation, he replied, " Relations ! don't talk to me of relations ! I had, when young, a cousin, who was a cabinet maker, and who, instead of teaching me his trade, taught me to drink. 1 had another cousin, who was a soldier, and who, soon after my marriage, ran away with my wife and all my savings." The poor fellow was found guilty of the offence charged, and sentenced to twenty-four hours' imprisonment, at the expiration of that time to be transferred to the asylum for the destitute at St. Denis. As 'he was leaving the bar, grateful for a sentence which provides him with food and shelter for the rest of his life, the name of Catherine Gaillard was called, and an old woman, in rags, was brought up on a similar charge. The eyes of Claude were instantly rivetted on her, whom he thus addressed :—" Failes excuse, madame, but are you the person called Catherine Gaillard ?" The woman having replied in the affirmative, Claude exclaimed, `• It is my wife, who left me thirty-five years ago." The following conversation then took place between the old couple :—" What !" said the husband, " can it be you, once fresh as an apple, and with hair as black as jet ?" " And are you, old vagabond, my husband ?" " Yes ; your hus band, whom you left to follow my cousin." " A heartless wretch," replied the wife," who beat me dreadfully, and robbed me of all I had." " And what became of the gridin ?" "He died on the field of honour." " After robbing me of mine." The president of the tribunal here interrupted the colloquy, and passed the same sentence upon the wife as upon the husband, who will thus pass the remainder of their days under the same roof, and under the same circumstances, after a separation of thirty-five years. STEAM NAVIGATION ON THE RRINE.—We find the fol lowing interesting account of the progressive increase of the steam navigation of the Rhine in the Monileur :—" In 1816 was started the first steam-boat on the Rhine, running be tween Rotterdam and Cologne. After a lapse of 23 years, there were 39 of these conveyances between Basle and the sea, and this number is annually increasing. The companies rival each other in zeal and attention. The two Prusso- Rhenish establishments, however, have made the most rapid progress in improvement. The Cologne company commen ced on Ist May, 1827, with one boat only, between Cologne and Mentz : on the Bth June following it had two. and in 1837 it possessed mine, viz., one of 118-horse power, one of 85, two of 80, one of 75, three of 70, and one of 50-horse power. In the same year this company had three departures from, and as many arrivals at, Cologne, and a regular com munication witla Strasburg. In the following year the num ber of hnritc wsic inerPaceti to 11 : in 1839. to 14 ; in 1840. to 15; and, in 1841, to 20, passing between Cologne and Stras burg. In 1838, the Cologne company made an association with that running boats between Basle and Strasburg, which had two of 30-horse power each. From this period the pas sage between Basle and Cologne has been made in 40 hours, 29 of which only are spent on board the boats. Shortly af terwards another company launched two boats, which per formed the same distance in much less time. The secon d Prusso-Rhenish company , which had been formed by capita lists of Mentz and Dusseldorf, commenced running in 1838, with five magnificent boats. Once a week one of these goes down to Rotterdam. In 1838 they conveyed no m ore th an 84.000 passengers, and 6 0,000 metrical quintals of merchan dise ; which, in 1840, increased to 152,000 passengers, and 90,000 quintals of merchandise. This was nothing to what was done by the Cologne company; for whereas, in 1827, its transports amounted Co 18,000 passengers, and 26,000 quin tals of goods, in 1833 it had . 100,000 pas sengers , an d 106 . 000 quintals on freight ; and in 1840 the number of passengers exceeded 460,000, and the goods on freight 130,000 qu i nta l s; and in 1841 these figures increased to 680,000 passengers, and 300,000 quintals. The company which has just been formed at Basle, and which has made a connection w ith th e steamM ent z navigationa n d Dusseldorf on thecompany,u p p e r Rhine. The Netherlands will give a f res h i mpu l se to company (Maatschappy), established at Rotterdam, has tra versed between that city and Cologne ever since 1837, with 11 boats, of from 50 Co 120-horse power. They run daily ; but one boat a-week is exclusively employed in conveying merchandise. The navigation of the Rhine is car r ied on to London by boats from Rotterdam, and they make this pas sagegreat w ith number such o regularity passengers large laquantities of that th e y i nsure a merchan dise on freight."

We have had an unusually large supply of Beasts at this day's market, but, generally speaking, of an inferior quality, prime Beef fully supporting last week's prices, while middling and inferior things were much lower.

The Corn trade during the past week has been much depressed in every market of the kingdom, both agricultural and commer cial : the low rates at which every article is offered, have as yet produced little or no speculative disposition; and, though current supplies are large, prices have not kept their ground, and there has been no demand beyond what has arisen from the progress of consumption. Good marks or common Flour, at 35s to 365, have been more saleable than the better descriptions, the price of bread having been lowered by many bakers to 5d and sic' for the 41bs. loaf. Of Liverpool and Wakefield, yesterday, it may be said, that there was less anxious pressure, but no increase of business ; and the same remark applies to our market this day ; but, though the general tone of the trade was not worse to-day, we have to quote a reduction, since this day week, of 2Q per bushel on Wheat, :s per sack and barrel on Flour, and 2d per bushel on Oats. Meal ,teady, at the quotations of our last. Beans Is per quarter lower. No correct quotation can yet be given of the value of new Malt. Old, very slow of sale. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, OCTOBER 24, 1842. The import of Potatoes still continues light, both from the Isle of Man and Coastwise. The - crop is reported to be exceedingly heavy in the various localities of the usual shipping ports, as well as in the interior of this country, and also on the continent of Europe; and juegine from present appearances,we fully anticipate that this root will rule exceedingly low during the greater part of this season. There has been a good retail business transacted overboard to our town trade during this day, at, for Cups, Is. 3d. to Is. 4d. per 90 lbs., according to quality ; the country dealers not being able to give this figure, have remained inactive. The present sudden change in the weather has, in some measure. checked our neighbouring farmers from preparing and sending their usual supplies of produce into our local markets, which has enabled sellers to realize full prices for all descriptions Potatoes 9 s. d. s. d s. d. s. d Short Tops 1 2 1 4 Old Hay 0 1 12 41 , 2011, Cups 1 4 1 5 New Hay.... 0 6 0 UZ - Pink-eyes and 1 6 1 8 • Clover Hay.. 0 6 0 9 - Kemps Clover & Grass 0 0 0 0 - Cattle Turnips, v• ton - Carrots - RY REPORT, OCT. 22.

The stock is exceedingly small, and London appears de termined to monoi.olise pretty nearly the whole of such quality. Middling and low kind unaltered. Favourite brands of pickled Butter are limited to price about as. higher than our last quotation. Holders of foreign and colonial provisions are now anxious to lessen stocks. Very little doing either in these or Irish Beef and Pork. Bacon holds its own with tolerable tirmntss, 435. to 455. being the value of prime Belfast. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 21. In to-day's market there were exhibited 10 Beasts from Hamburg; but from other quarters no receipts have come to hand this week for sale here. The supply from our own districts being small, the Beef trade was somewhat renovated, and Monday's quotations were firmly supported. Prime old Downs moved off steadily, at full prices; but in other breeds of Sheep exceedingly little was passing, with a scanty number on offer. We had on sale eight Calves re ceived by a steam-ves.sel from Cork, but their quality being ex tremely inferior, they did not produce more than 3s. per sibs. ; otherwise the Veal trade was dull, at barely stationary figures. In Pigs scarcely any thing was doing at late rates. Mitch Cows sold at from ..tl6 to £l9. 10s. each, including their small Calf. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 21. The sales of Cotton to-day are estimated at 3000 bales. Those of the week are 16,030, of which speculators have taken 1600 and exporters 500. We cannot quote a decided decline of - for this week, though in many places parties are taking offers they refused early in the week, and the market closed exceedingly flat and heavy. COTTON MARKET, Ocrramt 24. Since our last circular the demand for Cotton has somewhat im proved. On Saturday there was a fair attendance of the trade, accompanied by a specnlative inquiry for Swats, in all 60.0 bales were sold, and to-day the improved tone and feeling has been ap parent, holders refusing offers which they would have taken last week. The sales to day are estimated at 4000 bales, and the market closes with firmness. • COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT, The mriket continues exceedingly dull and inactive, the demand being chiefly limited to the wants of the Trade ; all descriptions are offered freely, but, as holders refuse to make any further concession, prices remain steady at the quotations of last week. 400 American and 1200 Surat have been taken on speculation, and 300 American and 200 Surat for export. 300 West India and SO Manilla are declared for auction on Friday next.

There is no alteration to notice this week in the duties on any kind of foreign produce; nor much probability of any material change for some time to come. . . The arrivals of the past few days are almost exclusively from Ireland, whence a fair supply of Oats and Oatmeal has been received, but no increase to the late average quantity of Wheat and Flour, the manufacture of the latter being less practicable, on account of the long dry season, and the con sequent partial insufficiency of water for working the mills ; of foreign grain vessels none have been reported since our last ; and coastwise we have nothing worth naming fresh in for to-day. Since Tuesday we have experienced only a limited retail inquiry for any article of the trade, and no change has been observable from the quotations of that date. Although our Corn-Exchange this morning was by no means numerously attended by either local or country millers, the Wheat trade assumed a rather steadier aspect than of late ; and in addition to a moderate demand for consump tion, a few parcels of foreign Wheat were disposed of to speculative buyers for future re-sale, at prices nearly, and in son e instances quite, equal to the current rates of Tues day. English and Irish Wheats also, though not in lively request, were held on the terms then stated. Flour, without any active or extensive business therein, moved off gradually, all descriptions remaining unaltered in value. Malting and Grinding Barley, as well as Malt, appeared to meet a slow, limited demand, and scarcely maintained our last quotations.—Beans and Pease continued to be taken off sparingly at former prices. Induced by the considerable decline in Oats and Oatmeal, during the last few weeks, the operations in both these arti cles were more extensive to-day than of late, and each fully supported the reduced rates noted in Tuesday's circular.
