pottrp. MY DECEASED INFANT , BY TILE REV. J. B. M'CREA (For the Liverpool Standard.) O say, mysterious Lord ! those struggles why In one unpractised in the ways of sin ? I know that thou art righteous, and the cry Of suffering innocence delight'st not in ! Thine anger burns to generations four— My sins, my fathers' sins, too, have been great ; But thou art merciful to thousands more Of them that love thee—and I LOVE THEE YET. 0 with what agonies my soul was torn, As day by day with pain thy lip was curl'd, My guileless babe ! What sorrow, then, was borne By Him the surety for a guilty world! Death's sting is sin—to this a stranger thou; In all its weight with sin familiar He Who bore the cross with thorn-encircled brow, - Thus to propitiate for his own—for thee. For ever now, my child, thy pangs are o'er ; Again shall change nor chance affect thy rest ; My comfort this, thy recent struggles more Enhance thy rapture with the spirits blest. Then in thy hallelujahs let me join : My faith would tune, but nature slacks the chord ; Thankful, not joyful, baby, I resign,-- And thou wilt hear my broken song, good Lord. THE MARROW-BONES AND CLEAVERS. THREE NUPTIAL SONNETS FOR NEXT VALENTINE MORNING, DEDICATED TO PRINCE ALBERT OF SAXE-COBURG.GOTHA, BY SIR MORGAN O'DOIIERTY, BART. Music of England ! which barbarians vile Of ears not fitted for harmonious sound Will call rough music—sym phony renowned Through all the lengthened annals of our isle Str ke up ! Let softer lands their souls beguile With softer instrument. No foreign hound, Spaniard, or Portuguese, of phiz embrowned, Or quavering scion of Italian soil, Scraped from the fiddle, whistled through the flute, Squeaked in the fife, or strummed on the guitar On banks of Tagus, Po, or Guadal-quiver, Notes which with thine the mastery can dispute For force or melody in love or war, Our own immortal marrow-bone and cleaver ! In Lockhart's ballads (page I quite forget— I mean the ballads which that 'LL.D. Of Rhedycina did pretend that he Had from Castilian lingo overset, Scorning precise fidelity, but yet - • Breathing forth bursts of charming song, which we In romancero tome will never see,) You'll read, in our prime favourite of the set,— " Rise up, rise up, Xarifa !" how the maid Was by sweet voices urged in frequent suit To lay her cushion down, and mark the going Of him who once false love to her bad played, As on his wedding-day " the lovely lute Did sound between the trumpets' lordly blowing." No lovely lute, no trumpets loud alarms, • Should hail the morning of St. Valentine, That morn selected as most fit to shine On fair Victoria in her blushing charms, Clasped for the first time in a husband's arms. No! Royal Lady, this old realm of thine • Rath organs which in nobler concert join— Meaning to say, " No fear of hostile harms Shall keep the. men of true-born British bone From dashing boldly on the opposing steel ; And that the steel of Britain shall be seen Ready at Beauty's call." In loudest tone Strike then, while Windsor's bells their joy-notes peal— Strike, marrow-bones and cleavers, for the Queen ! HONEST JOHN BULL AND HIS MOTHER. Here 's a health to honest Joi.; Bum. ! When he 's gone we shan't find such another : With hearts and with glasses brim full, Here 's a health to Britannia, his mother! For she gave him a good education, Bid him keep to his Church and his King, Be loyal and true to the nation, And then to be merry, and sing Fol de rol, fol de rol, fol de rol, lay. For JOHN is a good-natur'd Industrious, honest, and brave; Not afraid of his betters when mellow, For betters he knows he must have.

Fol de rol, fol de rol, fol de rol, lay. Some were born for the Court and the city, • And some for the village and cot ; For 't would be a dolorous ditty, Were we all born equal in lot. If our ships bad no pilots to steer, What would come of poor Jack on the shrouds ? And our troops, no commanders to feat', Would soon be armed robbers in crowds. Fol de rol, fol de rol, fol de rol, lay. The plough and the loom would stand still, Were we made gentlemen all ; All clodhoppers, who then would fill The parliament, pulpit, and hall ? Rights of man make a very fine sound, Equal riches a plausible tale ; Whose labours would then till the ground? All would drink, but who'd brew the best ale ? Fol de rol, fol de rol, fol de rol, lay. Half naked and starved in the streets, Were we wandering about sans culotte*, Would liberty find us in meat, Or equality lengthen our coats? That knaves are for lev'ling no wonder, You may easily guess at their views, Pray, who'd get the most by the plunder ? Why they that have nothing to lose. Fol de rol, folds rol, fol de rol, lay. Then, away with such nonsense and stuff, Full of treason, confusion, and blood, Ev'ry Briton has freedom enough To be happy as long as he's good. To be rul'd by a merciful King ! To be governed by Jury and laws ; Then, let us be merry and sing, This! this is true Liberty's cause. Fol de rol, fol de rol, fol de rol, lay. THE QUEEN'S MARRIAGE. (From the Oxford Herald.) It has been officially announced, from the Lord Chamberlain's office, that the solemnization of her Ma jesty's marriage will take place on Monday next, the 10th instant. It is reported that for the ceremonial, at which the Archbishop of Canterbury will officiate, assisted by the Bishop of London, the hour of noon is fixed upon. Arrangements have been made to accom modate as many spectators as possible, both in the Chapel itself and in those apartments and avenues through which the august procession will move on its way to the Chapel Royal, and on its return. Prepa rations, we understand, are making along the line of road in those places through which the royal bride, with her illustrious consort, will pass in their way from town to Windior Castle, for greeting the happy pair with loyal demonstrations of affectionate sympathy. At Eton, in particular, through which the Queen's car riage will have to drive, in consequence of the high flood, it is intended to erect two hymeneal arches of appropriate classical design, decorated with rich fes toons, for the reception of the bridal cortege. Toque duns procedis, Io Triumphe Non semel aicemus, to Triuniphe Ciritas omnis. As that august procession moves along, Repeated shouts of triumph swell the song." Her Majesty has very opportunely evinced a most gracious consideration for the depressed state of our silk and lace manufactures, in giving munificent en couragement to the productions of British art and na tive industr4y by her exclusive patronage. Her royal example will of course he followed, not only by the la dies of the court, but by all our fair countrywomen who participate in any of the num erous festivities on the joyous occasion. Viscount Melbourne, the Mar quis of Normanby, the Earl of Minto, Lord John Russell, and other public functionaries, will give large full-dress dinner parties on the wedding-day ; and the Duchess of Sutherland and the Countess of Suther land and the Countess of Minto have each invited a very numerous'assembly for the evening. But one wish and prayer will be breathed by British Christians of all classes and parties on this important and interesting crisis in the life of our youthful and. beloved Sovereign ; that happiness, as pure, and per fect, and permanent, as any sublunary blessing can be, may attend on this sublunary union; and that in a ripe old age our revered monarch, with the worthy ob ject of her choice, and partner of her destiny, may he advanced to the enjoyment of an eternal crown , trans m4l4'lo_ll peacethat which decorates her fair brow to their children and children's children. Prince Albert.; on his entering the capital of Belgi um, was received, by order of his uncle, King Leo pold, with all the honours - due to a crowned head. On his arrival here the Prince is to he created a Field- Marshal. The question respecting hii rank in; he country has not been settled by Parliament : the Mi nisters have omitted the third caluse of his Naturali zation Bill, which r-ferred to this subject ; and, ac cording to Lord : i .bourne, they have not yet decided what steps to take.

His lordship rifled an eagle from its airy element at a height apparently impracticable. — Limerick Standard. PRINCE ALBERT'S BOOTS.—Messrs. Llewellin and Naish, of St. John-street, have manufactured a very elegant and even superb pair of boots, as a present to Prince Albert. The legs are of Morocco leather, and the turn over or top is of purple velvet. The latter is elegantly embroidered and flowered with gold. In the centre are the royal arms, sur mounted with the letters V. A. On either side of the shield arc the Rose, the Thistle, and the Shamrock. The lower parts of the boots are patent leather, the stitching of which with white silk, is a materpiece of closing. The sole is also a matter for admiration, and the heels are of silver, secured by gold plufs, placed in the form of the impe r i a l crown, and the letters Y. A. The whole has but one fault, wh i ch trodden_ under that the boots are altogether too beautiful to b under foot of man." The box in which they are to be con veyed, is a choice specimen of mahogany, having on the top the royal arms, and being lined with superb crimson velvet— the manufacturer is Mr. Hiugston, of Park-street.— Bristol . .Standard. . . • . . .By the packet-ship Columbus, Capt. Cropper, which arrived here this morning, we have received New York Papers to the 20th ultimo, inclusive. The Columbus has had a remarkably quick passage, considering the tempestuous weather which has latterly prevailed. She has brought home no specie. • She had ten passengers on hoard. The last advices received from England at New York were up to the 14th of December, by the packet-ship • Garrick. The intelligence taken out by the Garrick operated favourably upon the markets at New York. At Philadelphia business was dull, caused partly f'y the cold weather, which had so completely closed the navigation; that it would 'be some time before a chan nel could be made by the ice -boats, for towing vessels into the port. *On the rath of January there was a large business done„in the Stock Market at New York, but very little change was observed in the general aspect of the money madet. In foreign exchanges the business done for the packet was but light. The supply of bills, how ever, was .fair, and generally cf a good description. The quotations. in .London were from 61 to 71. Opera tions in foreign exchanges were materially suspended in consequence of the expected arrival of the British Queen, the detention of which vessel in England had not yet been ascertained at New York. Domestic ex changes were improving. Philadelphia bank notes were bought at 5i to 6. We have no news of any importance from Canada. The same remark applies to the South American States. The Maine boundary question had been brought before the- Senate, when resolutions were passed for an inquiry into the negociations which had taken place, during the last two years, between General Scott and Sir John Harvey. We find in the New York Morning Courier and En quirer the melancholy details - of two additional explo sions of -steam-vessels, one of which, as will be seen from the subjoined extracts, was accompanied by a frightful sacrifice of ' human life._ The number that perished on board the Lexington had not been cor rectly ascertained, but it was estimated at about ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY. Among the lists of the pas sengers we do not recognise a single Englishman. They all appear to have been Am ericans. We give the particulars .at as great length as practicable. [Since writing the above we have ascertained that " Samuel Henry, of the firm of S. & A. Henry, Man chester, England," was among the passengers on board the Lexington.] DREADFUL EXPLOSION OF A STEAM VESSEL. (From the Morning Courier and Enquirer of Jan. 16.) The city was thrown into a state of extreme consternation, by intelligence of a most fatal accident having befallen the steamboat Lexington, which left here on Monday afternoon, under the command of Captain George Child, on her usual trip to Stonington. We have gathered from Captain Hil lard, almost the only survivor—at least as present appear ances lead us to dread from this awful scene of death, from Captain Brooks of the New Haven steamboat, who received Captain Hillard on board—from the sloop Merchant, Captain Meeker, who rescued him, and from Captain Jennings, of the sloop Ganges, who left Southport, to which place the sloop Merchant belonged, and whither she had returned, the following particulars of this distressing event : The Lexington prosecuted her voyage until half-past seven o'clock in the evening, when being between Eaton's Neck and Crane's Neck, a fire was discovered to have broken out near the smoke pipe, among some bales of cotton which were stowed near it, or to which at least the flames speedily spread. An attempt was then made to get out the suction pipe, and by means of water thrown from it on the flames, extinguish them ; but these spread with such rapidity, that soon all access to the engine was impossible, and it continued to work for a time with fearful rapidity. Captain Childs, it would appear, then determined to steer the boat for the nearest part of the Long Island shore, and he was last seen in the wheel house at the helm. In fifteen minutes, however, the engine became immoveable, and the course of the boat arrested about two miles from the land. Here she continued to burn until about 3 o:clock in the morning, when what remained of her sank. It were needless to Attempt to describe the scene of ago nized confusion which ensued among the passengers, and in deed all on board, as soon as the fire was discovered. No order was preserved, or any attempt made to preserve it. The life-boat which was on board was thrown over, forward of the wheel, was struck by the paddles, and broken to pieces. The Lexington had three boats besides, which were launch ed by the passengers while she was under full way, and im mediately swamped. Some twenty of them who had life.. preservers about them, jumped overboard, a n d th e res t were last seen as the flames drove them from the higher parts of the steamboat, clinginc , in clusters to the gu ar d-b races , w h ere they hung till all went down together. Capt. Hillard, formerly of the ship Mississippi, of this port—one of the passengers—escaped. When the progress of the fire was such as to leave no hope, the passengers com menced throwing the deck freight overboard, probably in the expectation that some parts of it would remain floating, and might be the means of saving some of them. Capt. H. assisted in throwing about ten bales of cotton overboard, and in leaping on one of them. One of the firemen of the boat also succeeded in getting on the same bale, and these two, by means of a piece of board which they picked up, succeeded in keeping the bale head on to the sea until about four o'clock in the morning, when the bale capsized, but righted again with both of them on it. Until this time they had kept the upper part of their bodies comparatively dry, but were now completely wet to the skin. And now the fireman began to despond, talked of his wife and children, told Capt. H. thdt his name was Cox, and that he resided in Oak-street New York. Capt. H. endeavoured to cheer him up, and at last lashed him to the bale, but at about 8 o'clock in the morning he expired. At 11 o'clock Captain H. was rescued by Capt. Meeker, in the sloop Merchant of Southport. The same ves, , el also rescued Captain Manchester, the pilot, and a fireman named Smith, who were each on a bale of cotton. The fireman says, that soon after the fire was dis covered, he sought refuge on the rudder, expecting the bo'ler • would burst, but whilstthere, two boys, who could not swim, entreated him to give them his place, which he consented to, on condition that they threw him a bale of cotton, which they did, and to which he swam. The boat then drifted some distanceahead ofhim, but when her upper works were burned, he again floated near her, and saw several of the passengers and crew on pieces of the wreck. They, however, all gradu ally became- exhausted, and fell off. Captaiii'MJnichester, the pilot, adds little to the above ;par ticulars ; he and the fireman last spoken of; were badly frozen. We annex a list of as many passengers as on diligent in quiry we could learn were on board. We do not, however, vouch for its entire accuracy ; though in the main we believe it will be found correct, as far as it goes. Captain Hillard estimates the number of passengers at 150; but Capt. Man chester says he thinks there were no more than 75 on board, and we find that this latter number is considered at the office of the Company to which the boat belonged, to be the nearest probability. What chance is there that any more have been rescued ?—Capt. Hillard says, that at about eight o'clock in the morning a schooner, bearing to westward, passed him while on the bale of cotton, about a mile off. She did not see him, but it is possible she may have fallen in with some of the other passengers floating on the pieces of the wreck. The conflagration of the boat was seen from Norwalk and Bridgeport, on the Connecticut shore, but the state of the tide and the ice prevented them getting out their boats to her assistance, and though the attempt was made, it was found impossible to succeed. From the Long Island shore, we have as yet no accounts, and it is possible, as the flames must have been still more visible there, that some effectual assistance may have been rendered to the unfortunate beings who were floating on the waves, yet the sea was so very high, and the cold so intense, that it seems almost a foilorn hope. (From the Courier and Enquirer of Jan. 18.) From the New Have n D a ily H era ld ( extra ) of Tuesday evening,.we find an account of the mode in which the fire took, which is somewhat more explicit and satisfactory than any other which has met our eye. " The fire," says that journal, " was discovered a little after seven o'clock, under a tier of cotton bales, piled amidship, against the wooden box or frame which enclosed the pipe leading from the tire room below, this boat having her boiler on her kelson, or un der deck. This pipe led through the freight above, and the ignition of the cotton had become so extensive before the fire engine and hose of the boat could be put in operation, that both crew and passengers were so overwhelmed in smoke, and the natural agitation of the moment, that all efforts to subdue the fire were unavailing." We understand from a source on which we can rely, that the pilot, Captain Manchester, says, that shortly after the fire broke out, he went to the wheel house, got the wheel hard up, and then the rope parted, it being hide rope, connecting with the chain and iron rods. He then sprung down to launch the life boat, which was broken by the paddles, as has been already described. A bale of cotton was his next resource, to which lie found a roan lashed. Finding, during the night, that the man was dead, he cut bis body loose, fearing that it might cause the bale to turn over. Manchester was picked up, lashed to the bale, senseless and.how he came so lashed, he does not re collect. . Smith, one of the hands also saved, says that he jumped overboard at about eight-o'clock, and swam to a bale of cot ton, after floating on which five hours and a half in the wa ter, he got back to the wreck, and warmed himself for an hour by the fire, and then got on that part of the wreck from which he was picked up. OAT . The steamboat STEAMß Belle' of Missou DISASTER ri, bound from New Or leans for St. Louis, whilst wooding about a mile below Li berty, Illinois, on the evening of Chiistmas-day, took tire and was totally consumed.

TOBACCO IN NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Humbly Sheweth,—That a system of adulteration of to bacco has for some years been practised to a considerable ex tent, to the manifest injury of the revenue, and to the ruin of the fair trader. That your petitioners, in reiterated peti tions to the Board of Excise, and to the focal officers, have prayed that the law against adulteration might be put in force, for the protection of the revenue, and also for the due protec tion of your petitioners, who do not themselves practise such fraud. That, in consequence, several seizures of adulterated tobacco were made about two years ago, but were subse quently restored by order of government, without the inflic tion of any penalty, notwithstanding that no doubt could possibly be entertained that the tobacco so seized was in an adulterated state. That in consequence of these restorations, the local officers have inferred that it is not the intention of government to prevent or punish similar frauds ; and, not withstanding these local officers are perfectly aware of, and fully admit the extensive existence of this illegal practice, yet they refuse to take any steps to punish or prevent it, and state without disguise (in answer to the urgent remonstrances of your petitioners), that they are convinced that any exer tions on their part for its suppression, would not be accept able to their superiors, and that, consequently, they will not venture to act until distinct orders to do so shall he issued by the Board of Excise. That your petitioners have in con sequence implored the interference of the Treasury, and of the Chancellor of her Majesty's Exchequer, but that no attention has been paid to their earnest entreaties. Your petitioners have prayed a reference to the local officers, who are ready to bear testimony to the truth of these allegations, the practice complained of being notorious. Your petitioners have respectfully represented that the weight of tobacco upon which duty was paid in the year ending October 10, 1839, was 1,143,681 pounds less than in the preceding year, and that the consequent loss of £171,552 to the revenue is altogether caused by this fraud; it being the full conviction of your petitioners that the consumption of tobacco has not decreased. Your petitioners have re spectfully stated that the existing law 1 and 2 Geo. IV. cap. 119, is sufficiently strong to meet the evil complained of, and have represented that the revenue is defrauded, not only in directly, by the non-payment of duty on the materials mixed with adulterated tobacco consumed in the kingdom, but also directly, by the drawback allowance of 2s. 7-id. per pound claimed and received on tobacco so adulterated when ex ported as ships' stores. Your petitioners have prayed the interference of the local officers of her Majesty's customs to check this last-named fraud, but have met with the same re fusal in that department which was given by the officers of excise, because these officers of customs had previously re- presented the case to their superiors, and no notice was taken of their representations. That your petitioners have conse quently been left without any protection from ruinous loss in contending against opponents who have no advantage over them except the very large profits they derive from defraud ing the revenue, and the time is at length come when your petitioners have only the choice of two evils—either to be come fraudulent or to abandon their trade. Your petitioners therefore pray, that their case may be fully, and at an early period inquired into, and that they may be allowed to offer proof of the allegations herein contained • and further, that strict orders may be issued fo r th w ith t o the officers of excise throughout the kingdom to enforce the laws for the preven tion of adulterating tobacco. And your petitioners, as in duty hound, will ever pray, &c. ROBT. & Was. JOHNSON. I THOS. GRAY. WILLIAM HARRISON. JOHN & JAS. S. HARVEY. .ROBT. COLHOUN. W. O. DICKINSON. JOHN THOMPSON. FEATHERSTON & ELDER. PRINGLE & TATE. UNITED STATES. (From our Second Edition of Friday.) FRAUDS IN THE TOBACCO TRADE. (From the Newcastle Journal.) The disastrous state of our financial affairs so clearly dis played in the luminous speech - of the Earl of Ripon, is not to be actrihuted to increased expenditure alone, however profuse a whig administration may be to its creatures and dependents. The energies of this country have of late years been so wonderfully developed that the old taxes would, in the natural course of things, have produced an increase in the revenue, sufficient to .counterbalance even whig extrava gance, if public affairs had been managed with anything like ordinary ability and discretion. In our last publication we had occasion to animadvert upon the gross incapacity of the government in respect to Chinese affairs, by which we shall lose at least four millions sterling of revenue in tea duty, and to-day we shall show how the same incapacity and inattention diminishes our revenue from tobacco, notwithstanding that the consumption of this article is notoriously increased. This fact is so clearly established in the petition of the manufac turers "of Newcastle tothe House of Commons, after all their efforts to induce the government to do its duty had proved fruitless, that we shall content ourselves with merely pub lishing that' petition, and .allow it to produce its own effect, without the aid of further comment from us : To the Honourable the. Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled, THE PETITION OF THE UNDERSIGNED MANUFACTURERS OF STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER.--The appearance of gradual improvement, which appeared in this market a few weeks ago, appears to have entirely vanished, - and the general dulness of last week appeared to have deepened into a general gloom yesterday. The demand for yarn and goods of all kinds was extremely limited, and lower prices were very generally submitted to. .This unfavourable state of things was probably aggravated by the announcement of several failures in the town and neighbourhood, one or two of which are to a rather serious extent. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, FEB. 8.-To day has been a ver y d u ll mar ket ; ind ee d b u t few buyers have attended, and the business clone has been extremely limited. There has been no change in prices. In the wool market there is no alteration to report.—Manchester Guardian. BLACKBURN.-Our trade has been getting worse during the past week, and up to this day it is really flat and unsatis factory. Some descriptions of yarn are lower in price ; mo ney is exceedingly scarce, and, taken as a whole, the pros pect for spring trade is anything but a flattering one.—Black burn Standard DUNDEE.—The business done in linens during the bygone week has been greater than for a number of weeks past, though we can as yet state no improvement in the prices of flax, yarns, or linens. There have been some inquiries after the coarser descriptions of yarns, suitable for the manufac ture of cotton bagging, an article that has long been a drug in our market, which would induce the belief that it is again likely to be in demand. The reduction of the rate of inte rest by the Bank of England, and the late accounts from America, afford a more cheering prospect for our manufac turers than they have had for some time back.—Dundee Courier. FOREIGN MISCELLANY, HANOVER, JAN. 17.—Dr. Graafe, from Berlin, was lately here, and again examined the eyes of Prince George ; but we are sorry to hear that he was not able to hold out greater hopes than before. We hear from good authority that the convocation of the Estates is deferred, and will certainly not take pleice before March.' Prince Alfred de Schoenburg, Chamberlain and Privy Councillor to the Emperor of Austria, died suddenly on the 14th inst. The Prince had just dressed to join a grand din ner party given by Prince Metternich, to which he was going with Prince Puckler Muskau, when he fell down in an apo plectic fit and expired immediately. The Grand Duchy which belongs to the family of the Prin cess Victoria Augusta Antoinette of Saxe Coburg Gotha, the future Duchess de Nemours, comprises 9 cities, 9 towns, and 449 villages. The duchy counts 24,979 houses. Gotha con tains 10,500 inhabitants, and Coburg 10,706. The popula tion of the two duchies amounts to 140,650 souls, of whom 135,230 are Protestants, 3,210 Catholics, and 2,210 Jews. The revenue of the duchy amounts to £83,000 sterling a year, and the expenses to at least as much. The State owes nearly three' years' income (upwards of 6,000,000 francs).— Capitole. The Princess Victoria Augusta Antoinette of Saxe Coburg Gotha," says the Univers, "is a Catholic. Her fa ther, Duke Ferdinand, was a Protestant, but it is said he has long since returned to the bosom of the Catholic church. The family of the Princess of Kohary was always Catholic, and amongst its possessions are some which only Catholics can inherit. In marrying the Princess Mary Duke Ferdi nand must have engaged to bring up his children in the Ca tholic religion, and he has kept his engagement. His son, the King of Portugal, is a Cath o li c , as we ll as t h e young Princess." "THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND. (From the Newcastle Journal.) For a considerable time past, the columns of our northern contemporaries have been more or less filled with discussions and reports upon the proceedings of the Church of Scot land, or, more correctly speaking, of the committee of the General Assembly of that church. No dispassionate per son, removed from the scene of these discussions, can pe ruse the reports of those. proceedings without experiencing a degree of regret that a church, long venerated for her high religious character and usefulness, should have so unneces sarily and wantonly set herself in open hostility to the state, and the law of the land. It is altogether in vain for the Church of Scotland, in her present dilemma, to appeal to the brotherly regard and compassion of the Church of England—a church which, at an earlier period of our his tory, she scorned as heretical, and as little better than the Church of Rome. We of the Church of England do not, and cannot, any more than a vast portion of the thinking population of the sister kingdom, believe that the Church of Scotland is not a State Church. She is, in our humble estimation, to all intents and purposes, a State Church. The articles of her creed, contained in her Confession of Faith, are all confirmed and authorised by act of parlia ment ; every act of her General Assembly is sanctioned by the Lord High Commissioner, who sits in her supreme court as the representative of Majesty, and who has power, if we mistake not, to call and to dissolve this court ; and many of her parishes are held direct from the Crown, and are known as Crown patronages. Since the days of the Revolution when the indulged clergy" fell into th e mea sures of the government, and, with unworthy truckling, accepted the double boon of place and patronage, down to the present time, wheu they set themselves up in hostile array against their patrons and the law of the land, no one ever dreamed of doubting that the Church of Scotland was a state church. The question may be put or twisted into any shape they choose, the fact stands, and has been so de cided by the ablest judges both in Scotland and England, that thh Church of Scotland has and had no right, implied or understood, to pass any act, far less to enforce it, affect ing the right of patronage, whether vested 'in the crown or in private individuals. She is under a solemn compact and necessity of doing nothing of such importance, without the authority and sanction of the state; and, indeed, were the question once raised, it may fairly be doubted whether the state could sanction or pass any act annulling patronage. Whether or not the condition of the church would be im proved by the abolition of patronage, is a subject foreign to the point in dispute, though the belief that her indepen cence would be. more secure seems io have taken such hold of the minds of many of her clergy, that they have substi tuted it for the main question. The Church of Scotland has always held forth a semblance of independence, by as serting that she had no temporal head. The meaning of this was, that in spiritual matters she acknowledged Christ alone as her head. This idea she appears desirous of now enlarging, so as to be not only independent in spiritual, but also in temporal matters, shutting her eyes in some mea nbyot endeavouring to first mea sure to the f ac t, t h at a c h urch s f ipported by the state must, to all int en t s an d purposes, be dependent upon the state. Were she to s h a k e o ff th i s connection, her independence mould certainly b e greater than it is at present; but that is assumingi t,to aonof(ie to breakaie commission, hostile question ow a n n,odfo or opposing etinl deland least spte, a ns t ada t n i en t dnc u ettdie then, e—ni in t t l o i e s t i a t n i i ' l l e u ra p nt agitation against town and hamlet, by a few of the hot-headed of her clergy, by which the whole nation is set it in an uproar from one end to the other. At length it is proposed to make application to Parliament, that it should sanction their veto act. Call you this independence ?—First, oppose the law, and then ask Parliament to sanction their violation of it! Why was this application to Parliament not made at the time of framing the veto act ? It will perhaps be answered, that Parliament would not have sanctioned it. It may be added, that it will certainly not do so now.

At the St. Charles Theatre there was such an overflow from the sky-lights of the roof being left open, that the audience had to decamp. The'title of the forthcoming - new play at Covent Garden, by Mr. Leigh Hunt, is to be " A Legend of Florence." The principal characters are to be sustained by Mr. Moore (who made his debut in Hamlet), Mrs. Walter-Lacy,- Miss Ellen Tree, and Miss Charles. It was to be produced on Friday last, for the first time. PENNY POST.—In the year 1683, that useful conveyance of letters and parcels by the penny post was first set up in London and its suburbs by a private undertaker, named Murrey, an upholsterer by trade, who afterwards assigned the same to one Dockra; who carried it on- successfully for a number of years, until the government laid claim to the project as being Connected •with the General Post-office, which was a part of the crown revenue, and a yearly pension of-£2OO was settled - on Mr. Dockra for his life.—Lambert's History of London, vol. 2, page• 103. GYPSOGRAPHY.—This is the •new title bestowed on the process patented by Messrs. Woone and Co., and heretofore styled metallic relief engraving. The name is derived from the "gypsum," or plaster of Paris, used in the first'instance in the production of the design from whichthe cast for, print ' ing is made. The patentees have opened an establishMeni at Edinburgh, and announced their readiness to execute or ders, and a musical work has actually been commenced, frinn gypsographic plates. The process appears to answer well for this style of work ; but that, of course, affords no test of its capabilities for rivalling wood engraving in the higher branches of the art.—Mechanics' Magazine. A MAN FINED FOR KISSING HIS WIFE.--A corre spondent of the Railway Magazine states, that a neighbour of his, for kissing his own wife, in one of the Greenwich rail way carriages, was made by the directors to pay a fine of £2. He inquires what has become of the money. This is the first time we have heard of a man being debarred from kissing his wife, either in a railway carriage or in a stage coach.—[lf such . a monstrous power is really given to railway proprie tors, without a hearing before magistrates, why should not stage coachmen have the same authority ?] SINGULAR EESUSCITATION.—A few days ago, a widow named Henriot, in the Rue St. Jacques, who-had been long ill, was supposed to be dead ; and her two nephews went to take the necessary steps for the interment of the body, and to secure their inheritance. On the following morning, 'a spark from the funeral taper, which was burning at the foot of the bed, fell upon the sheet which covered the body, and set it on fire, whilst the woman in charge was out of the room. Piercing screams were immediately heard, and the woman, rushing into the room, found the supposed corpse struggling with the flames. It appears that the pain caused by the burning sheet had restored Enimation. The fire was promptly extinguished, and hopes are entertained of the re covery of Madame Henriot.—French paper. ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. — On Thursday morning no little sensation was created in the family of a gentleman of fortune, residing near Dulwich. During the last three weeks a young lady, the daughter of a wealthy widow, resid ing in the Regent's Park, has been on a visit at the villa. On Thursday morning, at breakfast time, she was missing, as also the butler, a fine young man, aged 27. The mystery, however, was soon cleared up, by a card being found on the dressing table, on which was written " My kind love to all, not forgetting Sir (to whom she was to have been mar- . ried on the 13th of this month), I have eloped with my true love." The young lady is in her 19th year, and will, on her coming of age, be entitled to £14,000 a-year.---Morning Post. Prince George of Cambridge has been appointed to a super numerary lieutenant-colonelcy in the 12th, or Prince of Wales's royal lancers, and is to take rank between Lieut.- Colonel Stawell and Major Barton. Two rooms over the officers' mess room in the Preston barracks have been fitted up for his royal highness, who is expected to join the regi ment on Saturday se'nnight. Should the brevet rank of major-general be conferred on Lieut.-Colonel Stawell at the approaching royal marriage, which it is said is not at all improbable, the command of this fine regiment will at once devolve upon the prince. —Sussex paper, CHICHESTER.—The vote of our city member, Lord Ar thur Lennox, on the question of want of confidence in the present imbecile government, has given, we may almost say, universal satisfaction to his constituency in this place ; it is hailed as a bright omen, and we trust will be followed up by a declaration on the part of his Grace of Richmond, that he too has no confidence in the present ministry. We hope and trust that the conservative vote of Lord Arthur Lennox will prove the prelude to a more firm and uncompromising line of conduct than his lordship has hitherto pursued. Would that we could have seen his noble brother, the member for Western Sussex, ranged on the same side ; but this, we fear, is hopeless.—Brighton Gazette. THAMES TUNNEL.—On Wednesday the Dundee, steam , ship, on her way down the river, about ten o'clock in the morning, the tide having nearly run but, grounded upon the Thames tunnel, and created the greatest - alarm to the spec tators on both sides of the river, both for the safety of. the .vessel and the arch of the tunnel. The alarm on board the Dundee amongst the few passengers was also very great, from the wind, shortly after the vessel had struck, heeling her over on her starboard quarter. Shortly before eleven o'clock, however, the tide began to flow, and the magnificent vessel was -observed'getting her steam up, and shortly after slowly liialtig onwards, when she proceeded on her voyage, without, it is believed, sustaining any serious injury. The crown of the arch, upon which this ponderous vessel rested, is not supposed to be injured, although the workmen in the tunnel state that they could hear her grating along the top of it. The Dundee is a steamer of the largest class, and draws 13 feet water, and the propriety of her proceeding down the river at low water may be questioned, especially as it was only last week she went on shore at Limehouse, and was not got off for nearly an hour.—Morning Chronicle. We have the.pleasure to state, that a petition numerously signed by the inhabitants of this city, for a grant of money for church extension, has been forwarded to our respected 'representative, Sir. Wm. Follett, for presentation, and also another from Honiton,—Western Luminary. DOVER, rep. s.—There has happened a very large fall of the cliff adjoining the Shakspear of GOO feet in length, and from - 40 to 50 feet in depth from the summit, being at the least 400 feet in height, and at the bottom the chalk covers at least two acres of the beach below. It has fallen on the direct line of the railway, and much labour will be required to move it. Unfortunately, one poor man, of the name of Broker, is supposed to be buried under the chalk. FORMATION OF THE STATIONERS' COMPANY.—It being found in the reign s of Philip and Mary. that 4 ,` many false, fond books and ballads, and rhymes and other lewd treatises in the English tongue, both heretical and seditious," were being issued from the press, it was determined to unite the printers into one body, the beads of which should be respon sible for the individual members, and the general conduct of which could thus be naore easily Watched and more effectually controlled. Letters patent were therefore passed, constitut ing the Stationers' Company, the 4th day of May, 1556. The stationers ' it would appear, were therefo re , a company b e f ore this date, but this was the commencement of their existence as a corporation. By their charter they were allowed to make by-laws for the guidance of their members ; and no one but a member of their society was to be allowed to prac tise or exercise the art or mystery of printing within the dominions of England.—Lowildes on Copyright. CHURCHES OR GAOLS.—The following remark, taken from Mr. Collins's " Statistics of Church Accommodation," will prove interesting at the present time, the subject of church extension having been brought prominently forward. " This is an age of economy, and if the state can secure the peace and order of society more cheaply by extending the means of religious instruction to the people, than by extend ing the police and other criminal establishments of our coun try, would it not be a wise economy in the state to adopt the one in preference to the other ? The truth is, the people will cost us much whether we will or not. If we do not build them churches, we must build them gaols and bridewells." .Have any accurate calculations been yet made to show that the amount of crime differs in towns or parishes of equal population, according to the greater or less amount of church accommodation provided for the inhabitants? Within 30 years, from 1800 to 1831, about £4,000,000 were spent upon gaols and lunatic asylums. Again, in the last 10 years, we are told that the sums collected as poor rates fall short of £50,000,000 or £60,000,000 sterling., Who shall say how far this expenditure would have been diminished by an out lay of 1-20th part of the sums in support of the Church of England parochial system by multiplying schools, churches, and clergy ?—Morninq Herald. OWEN THE SOCIALIST AND THE QUEEN'S MINISTERS. —We know not whether Mr. Owen be, as reputed, the pa rent of the system promulgated as Socialism. Years ago, when he first came into notice, we regarded him as a bene volent but extravagant enthusiast only. But if he be the parent alleged, was it fitting to introduce him to the presence of a maiden Queen? The ministerial patronage of Mr. Owen, if rightly informed, has n6t rested, however, there ; for it is asse r ted by hi s f r i en d s th a t h e h as b een in habits of more familiar intercourse with members of her Majesty's Ministry ; that he has been admitted to dine more than once with Lord John Russell, if not with Lord Melbourne ; that he has been patronised by Lord John even to the extent of giving or procuring him letters of introduction or presenta tion to crowned heads or ministers of high station abroad, to the King of Prussia and Prince Metternich, for instance, by' whom he was similarly admitted to the hospitalities of the table ; and all this to enable him to explain and propagate his own peculiar system of social life, as now said to be so largely in operation here. If the facts be not as stated, it is high time to avoid further scandal that contradiction should not be delayed ; and truly glad should we be that such a blot were once and for ever cleared off the reputation of British statesmen.—Courier. • QUESTIONS OF CONFIDENCE.—There are more questions of confidence at this time agitating the country than the one mooted by Sir John Buller's motion. How that was virtu ally decided is apparent from the fact already stated, that the number of placemen who carried the vote of confidence in ministers was about three times as great as their majority. And, by-the-bye, two supplementary observations on this point may not be here mistimed First, the placemen al luded to were those only connected with the executive or the court, it being impossible to ascertain correctly those influ enced by commissionerthips, sinecure appointments, and. divers other jobs. Secondly, may it not be asked whether the sons and younger brothers of placemen should not be taken into account in estimating the real value of the majo rity of 21 ? Is not Lord Fitzalan as much a placeman for the purposes of the ministry as his father the Earl of Surrey ? Lord Shelburne as his father the Marquis of Lansdowne ? or even the Marquis of Tavistock as his uncle Lord John Russell? The majority in fa;o — u7;f;lnisters analysed in this way.would cut a very poor figure; but (to revert to the still more important object of these remarks,) if it is true that the independent majority of the house has not confidence in ministers, is it not equally so that the country has not con fidence in the house? It is the policy of the Whigs just now always to speak of " the people and their representatives" in the same breath, but the people utterly repudiate the associ ation. There is not one question of any magnitude upon which the people of England do not differ toto cte/o from the decisions of the house. • The late elections are no proofs to the contrary. In Devonport, Falmouth, ministers had the choosing of their own dunghills, and valiantly do they crow thereon ; but they know that in a fair, open, and gene ral contest the constitution of the house would be more ex tensively changed than by any general election since eight score Whigs were turned out by Mr. Pitt. In short, as regards confidence, we are in the singular, and by no means in itself desirable, position of having the people and the Peers leagued defensively against the Court and the Commons. And this under a Whig government !—Morning Herald. TRAVELLING IN FRANCE.—I can use no other epithets than abominable and disgusting to travelling both in France and Belgium. It was only a fortnight back that I denied myself the pleasure of my annual visit to Count Duval, to celebrate the fete of St. Hubert, the patron of the Belgic chase, when he has a party of upwards of thirty of the Otte of Belgium and other countries in his house —feeling some thing approaching to a horror of the journey, although not more than about 130 miles. But, rea der, you shall hear how it is performed : —To D un ki r k, 24 miles, five hours, stop there two. All the night going to Lille, 50 miles, stop there an hour in a coach-office. Then a change from a five to a three-horse diligence. When I was once condemned to a seat in it, it weighed eight tons on the weigh-bridge, having 34 passengers ! Well, this " drags its slow length along" until you can see before you the town at which you are to breakfast (at about ten a.m.), distant some petite lieue, say two English mile s .

There has been a fair demand by the trade, but as it was freely met by holders in the middle of the week, prices of American gave way id per lb., and although more steadiness has been evinced for the last two days, the market has closed without recovering this decline.

The week has closed with a continued scene of animatio Butter market. We do not however alter our quotations terday. The important event of the Queen's marriage on next, will of course cause a total suspension of commerc ness in "The good old Town." " God save the Que, 125778 LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FED. 8. With the exception of about 13,200 loads of Oatmeal from Ire land, the supplies of British produce, this week, have been light. Of foreign Wheat there has . arrived 6300 quarters, nearly all from Mediterranean ports, and the greater portion of it was released for home consumption, at 20s 8d per quarter duty. The impost is now increased to ots 8d per quarter on Wheat, and 135 . 04d per barrel on Flour. There has been less activity in the Wheat trade throughout this week, the millers and dealers purchasing only for present wants : still, holders are, generally, very firm, and, at our market, yesterday, they were enabled not only to sustain prices, but, in some instances, to obtain a small advance on the rates of Tuesday last. American duty-paid-Flour has sold with moderate freedom at 43s to 44s per barrel; but of this article in bond very few sales are reported : there are buyers still at 30s per barrel, but importers, generally, require 30s lid to :Hs per barrel. Oats have moved slowly, but, in the limited business transacted, rather better prices have been realised for good mealing qualities. Oatmeal is without alteration in valde, and the market is now abundantly supplied. The sales of Barley, Beans and Peas have been only in retail, at late prices.
