Last week a beautiful specimen of the common heron was shot in Lough Swilly by Captain Hay, of Buncrana. The annual festival of the Caledonian Asylum took place at the Freemasons' Tavern, on Saturday. The Duke of Buc cleugh presided. Three pipers were in attendance, and the Chisholm and other gentlemen danced the Scotch reel. WORTHY OF IMITATION.—The Rev. J. J. Rogerson will, we understand, preach a sermon in St. Julian's Church, in this town, on Thursday next, in aid of the subscription for the widows and children of the troops, serving under the British flag, who have been butchered at Affghanistan.— Shrewsbury paper. The South Durham and North York Shipping Company have announced the sale by auction of two of their vessels and of their freehold property, used as offices at Middles brough, preparatory to a dissolution of the concern, which has been anything but profitable. On Saturday morning week, during the raging of the high wind, the extensive floor-cloth manufactory of Mr. Moss Lyons, situate in James-street, York-street, Walworth, was blown down. A. workman, named John Proudfoot, was dragged from between two huge pieces of timber, in a most deplorable condition. • SECOND CENTENARY OF THE SCOTTISH CHURCH IN IRELAND.—The Rev. Dr. Cooke has addressed a letter " to the ministers, elders, and people of the General Assembly in Ireland," in which he calls their attention to the subject of the second centenary of the Church of Scotland in this country, which is now approaching. On Thursday the conversatives of Preston celebrated their sixth anniversary by a public dinner in the Theatre Royal. About 300 individuals sat down to a sumptuous repast, which was presided over by F. Sleddon, jun., Esq. Amongst the speakers were R. Townley Parker, Esq., and C. Swainson, Esq., the late conservative candidates for the borough. The company did not separate until a late hour, having spent the evening in a manner likely to excite the zeal and energy of the people in the good cause. The Times publishes the plan which General Sir George Cockburn suggested to Sir Robert Peel in August last for retrieving the finances of the country. It consists, briefly, in the Government's withdrawing from public and private banking establishments the power to issue paper money, and itself issuing instead £30,000 in notes of £5, to £3,000, which would place a like amount of revenue at the disposal of Government ; or, if that sum were not found sufficient for the circulation of the country, then £20,000 more might be issued. A vacancy has occurred in the East India direction, by the lamented death of Lieutenant Colonel Agnew. Several letters were received at the General Post-office by the last overland mail via Marseilles, bearing the extraordi nary postmark of Hong Kong, in China. Last week as many as 671 persons sailed from Sligo, as emi grants to British America. The Queen and Prince Albert are expected to honour Epsom Races with their presence on the Derby day, Wed nesday, the 25th instant. Letters from Toulon mention that the squadron com manded by Admiral Hugon was met under sail on the 12th, manoeuvring, at some distance from the island of Heyeres. The government of Van Dieman's Land, now held by Sir J. Franklin, has been offered to Lord Glenworth, grandson of the Earl of Limerick. The Journal des Debats announces that immediately after the close of the session the import duties on hempen threads would be raised to 20 per cent. Some failures of large amount have occurred at Oporto ; among them the firm of Lima Sampaio, to the extent of no less than £200,000 sterling. The monthly meteorological table at Greenock shows that not a drop of rain fell in that town during the month of April.

The crew and part of the brig's stores were saved. Two days afterwards the Joseph Storey, Captain Spencer, from London, andthe Cas pian. from Newcastle, both for St. Petersburg, also got jammed by the ice, and sank between the islands of Leskar and Biorko. Several of the stores, and a small portion of the cargo, consisting of indigo, of the Joseph Storey, and the crews of both vessels, were fortunately saved. The three unfortunate ships—viz., the Scotia, Joseph Storey, and Cas pian, were partially insured. On Monday evening an awful instance of the uncertainty of this life occurred at the Montpelier Tavern, Walworth. There had been a large chartist meeting in the afternoon, with a tea party and ball for the friends of the delegates in the evening. Mrs. Brown, the wife of the president, had been busily engaged attending at the tea table, and was in the highest spirits. After tea she went to dress herself for the ball, remarking to the servant that she " would see her different from what she wag then the next time she saw her." She returned to the ball-room apparently in the best of health, when she suddenly said, " Good God ! I am very giddy. Let me see my husband." She then sank in a chair, and never spoke afterwards, having expired almost imme diately. skins are very valuable; and 29 of a fair or average size, in the proper market, would fetch £lB at least.—Perth paper. By the provisions of the theological statute passed at Oxford last week, Dr. Hampden, Regius Professor of Di vinity, has been constituted chairman of the new Theologi cal Board, and is also recognised as a public University Pro fessor in Dogmatic Theology. The statute, therefore, virtually rescinds the judgment passed by the university on the professor's theological opinions, in 1836, on occasion of his appointment to the chair by her Majesty, at the recom mendation of the late whig administration.—Globe. We understand that a bill is about to be introduced by go- _ - - vernment to attach Shropshire to this circuit—to merge the - - - - - • six counties of North NQes into three, for assize purposes, by joining two together, and holding the assizes alternately in the chief town of each—to transfer Hereford and Mon mouthshire to the South Wales circuit, and to send two judges on the Welsh circuits, instead of one. Lord Abinger is the proposer of these alteration.—Carnarroon Herald.— [This statement has since been contradicted by authority NOTTINGHAM, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—This evening, at six o'clock, Joseph Sturge, Esq., the candidate selected by the Complete Suffrage Association, and the chartist body of this town, entered Nottingham, preceded and followed by as immense a crowd of electors and non-electors as has ever assembled here. The procession was the most unosten tatious ever seen ; no banners, no flags, no colours, no bands —all was simple and pure, betokening a good beginning on pure principles, and which it is sincerely to be hoped will end in a triumph. The greatest enthusiasm prevails in favour of Mr. Sturge, and he was received with cheers on all sides. A ROBB= EXTRAORDINARY. — Between two and three o'clock, before daybreak, on Thursday morning a servant in the employ of Mr. F. J. Arnold, of Peter-borough House, near Hornsey, aroused his master with the information, that he (the servant) had heard footsteps passing along the gravel walk near to the window of the pantry, and that some one had shook the shutter of his room window, Mr. Arnold immediately arose, and, telling the man to awaken the coach man, he armed himself with a brace of pistols, and, accom panied by his two servants, left the house by :the back door, and proceeded cautiously to the front of the mansion, where they distinctly heard a rustling amongst the branches of the shrubbery, as though persons were making their way through the trees. Mr. Arnold called out to the supposed robbers to stop, or he would fire, merely intending to intimidate the fugatives by the threat, and was in the act of rushing forward, when the pistol he held accidentally exploded, and a loud groan proceeding from the shrubbery gave token that the shot had taken effect. On the party reaching the spot, they discovered, instead of a wounded two-legged midnight ma rauder, a couple of four-legged intruders in the shape of a mare and a foal, in the former of which the shot had taken effect ; the poor beast being in its last struggles. The ani mals had doubtless effected an entrance into the shrubbery from the adjoining lane on the previous day, whilst the gates had been left open for the egress of the carriage, and so re mained unobserved by the servants.—London paper FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT—PA RKSIDE STATION, WED NESDAY AFTERNOON. — This morning the London up mail train from the north, on its arrival within a distance of 200 yards of this station, passed over the body of Thomas Grif fith, a bargeman. James Blundell, the driver of the engine, on finding that he had met with some obstruction on the way, stopped the engine as speedily as the downward incli nation of the line at that particular part would permit, but not until the whole train had passed over the body of the de ceased. On examination it was discovered that the de ceased had been dead some hours, as the body was cold and nd bore evident marks of more than one train having passed over it. The lower extremities were nearly severed from the trunk, and were only attached by a small ligature. From the inquiries I have made at this station this afternoon, I learn that the deceased was a married man, about 40 years of age, and a native of Tarvin, in Cheshire. He was in the employ of Mr. James Tyrer, of Lowton. and engaged as a bargeman on the Bridgewater Canal. On Monday he dis charged his cargo, and spent the greater part of yesterday at Newton cattle fair. At night he, his master, and some other men were drinking at the Bull's Head public-house, in Gol bourne dale, and left there between ten and eleven o'clock. They were all the worse for liquor. The deceased loitered behind the rest of the party, and I understand they saw nothing of him after they passed the_ bridge over the North Union Railway, on the London-road. The embankment of this point of the railway is full eight or ten yards above the railway on either side, and it is well fenced, so as to prevent parties trespassing. It was near this place the deceased's body was found ; and, in case he got upon the railway on parting from his companions, no less than two luggage trains, in addition to the mail, must have passed over him. His hat and shoes were picked up at different places, and the sand on the railway bore evident marks of the deceased having been dragged a considerable distance. PRINTING IN BOMBAY.—The Bombay Times of the Ist of March, after apologising for "some enormous typogra phical errors," which had occurred during the iilness of the editor and chief corrector of the press, says,—" If the Eng lish reader had any guess of the frightful state of backward ness of the typographical art in Bombay, he would wonder less that blunders of this sort should be continually occurring than that a Bombay paper should be made legible at all. Our compositors are chiefly Portuguese, who understand next to nothing of the English language, and who care nothing what ever how their work is done, because they know we are at their mercy, and who, moreover, on the occurrence of a Saint's day, or native festival, will decamp without warning from the office, whatever the emergency. A first proof from them is more like a galley-ful of ' pie' than a piece of com positorship intended to be read ; and it is only by the inces sant and persevering labour of one able and industrious pre siding reader, over divers others of inferior responsibility, that we are able to produce a paper at all intelligible. The sickness of one or two of the trustworthy men in the office utterly disables us—there is no resource to fall back upon. A steady English compositor could earn from £lO to £l5 a month without the smallest trouble, working from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This class of European workmen in other depart ments so generally drink themselves to death in Bombay, that no printing-office here has as yet run the risk of paying their passage out. We shall certainly be driven to it shortly. The expense of printing here, waste of material, and wages, taken together, is about four times what it is in London. Bombay, for sober men of good constitution, has one of the finest intertropical climates in the world : to the tippler or drunkard it is instantly fatal." THE ROMANCE OF LIFE.—Some short time ago, in one of the villages on the Firth of Forth, lived a lady whose hus band had long before gone to sea, and never having beard from him for some years, she believed him to have been dead. At the time her husband went to sea, Arlrs. S. lived in a town in England ; but, after giving up hopes of his return, she removed, with her only daughter, to her native country, Scotland. In the course of years a probationer of the church of Scotland came to officiate as a mis sionary in the parish, and formed an attachment for Miss S. Seeing no immediate prospect of obtaining a church at home, he resolved on transferring himself to one of our American colonies, and received an appointment there from a colonial missionary society. Having been united to Miss S., he took his departure, leaving his wife and mother-in law to follow as soon as he should have prepared for their comfortable reception. They accordingly left this country some time afterwards for America. In the meantime, among the settlers over whom the young divine's charge extended, was a comfortable farmer, also named S., who made inquiries after the history of the minister's wife and mother, and ex preded an anxious desire to see them on their arrival. They iv h .. a Ve safe, and on reaching the minister's habitation, of ell .7," sent for to be introduced. Judge of the surprise mal es !

The auditory was very numerous. After Mr. Brindley had detailed the rise, progress, and down fall of socialism, and unfolded his plan of operations for the future, the Lord Bishop of Chester remarked that if he had not been an enemy to socialism as a Christian minister, he certainly should be so as a man and a philanthropist. He very much rejoiced in the course Mr. Brindley had decided on adopting ; he was in the possession of great powers, and had applied them to the most noble purpose. There were few infidels who knew the evidences on which Christianity rested, and therefore he was glad that so many opportunities had been afforded them by Mr. Brindley for making themselves fully acquainted with these points. The Bishop of Norwich also spoke in similar terms. IMPORTANT INVENTION.—A French gentleman, Dr. Payerne, has just made a discovery likely to be of great use in submarine experiments and purposes. He proved on Fri day morning that he can descend and remain under water for any length of time without communication with atmospheric air. He descended, in the presence of several scientific men, in the diving-bell of the Polytechnic Institution, at 9 o'clock, and remained there for three hours, when he ascended, hav ing no appearance of inconvenience. His process is, of course, a reproduction of the gases necessary to support life and also combustion, .as was proved by his taking with him same candles, which he kept burning whilst below ; and he intends applying it to salvage and submarine purposes, for examining dock-gates, foundations of bridges, ships' bot toms, &c., as soon as his patent is sealed.—London Times. " Bottled Ale," like many other of the good things of this world, owes its invention to a priest. Dean Newell, Master of Westminster School in the reign of Queen Mary, was a noted angler. One day, when the Dean was catching fishes, Bishop Bonner was laying his lines to catch Newell. News came to the angler of the danger in which he stood, and he transferred himself from the banks of the Thames to a ship on its bosom, and was transferred to a place of safety. When the days of persecution were ended, he returned home, and renewed his recreations as an angler. He then remembered that he had left behind him, on the day of his flight, the pro visions which he had brought to the river-side for the suste nance of his inner man ; and on examining the hole in the bank which he had converted into a cupboard, he found the victuals untouched. Among other things, there was some ale, which he had put into a bottle ; and on drawing the cork, he was surprised to hear a loud report, and to rind that the liquor was extra excellent. This (says Fuller) is be lieved to be the origin of " bottled ale" in England. Strza - ci—s.B. RECOVERY OF A. Loa'r Ssinrw-Rot.—A. short time since, a snuff-box was missed from off a table on the lawn of one of the masters at Eton College, during his tem porary absence, and no tidings were heard of it until a few days ago, when it was discovered in the following curious manner :—The rope communicating with the bell in the tower of Eton College Chapel not working so freely as usual, Mr. Gray, the clerk, was about to ascend the narrow stone stair case to ascertain the cause, when he found the stairs com pletely blocked up by a large quantity of twigs, chips, pieces of wood, and other materials of a similar character, (some two feet in length,) extending throughout the whole width of the staircase, and from the bottom step of the landing to the top of the flight, consisting of no less than 14 stairs. Upou a closer examination, be discovered that the depositing, in this position, of the whole of these twigs and chips, was the persevering labour of two jackdaws, who had thus con structed their enormous nest upon the stairs. Amongst the variety of articles with which the jackdaws had constructed their habitation (which must have been conveyed through a loop-hole in the tower, the only opening, not more than four or five inches wide) was discovered the identical snuff-box, uninjured, which had been lost a few days before, and which must have been " walked off" with by the industrious and not over-scrupulous daws. Extraordinary as it may appear, the twigs, &c., of which the nest was constructed, could not have weighed less than three quarters of a hundred. The tower has since been visited by the Reverends the Provost, the Vice-Provost, Dr. Hawtrey, several others of the autho rities of the college, and parties residing in the neighbour hood ; but the old birds, no doubt in consequence of the nest having been disturbed, deserted their skilfully and extraor dinarily constructed retreat two days after the discovery had been made. They have since been seen hovering around the tower, but without again venturing to take possession of the fruits of their persevering labours.—Morning Herald. POOR LAWS IN SCOTLAND.—A considerable number of individuals belonging to Glasgow, impressed with a deep sense of the misery and destitution of the poor of that city and neighbourhood, and with the inadequacy of the means provided by law for an effective management of the Scottish poor generally, presented a requisition to the Lord Provost, requesting him to call a meeting of the citizens, to consider the propriety of memorialising her majesty's government on the subject, and praying for such revision and adaptation of the poor laws, to the altered circumstances of the country, as may seem necessary. The Lord Provost having called the meeting, it was held on Wednesday in the town-hall, and his lordship was called to the chair. Dr. Perry, in an able speech, showed the absolute necessity of an alteration in the law, so as to enable the poor to claim with effect that which was their right—a subsistence when they had not the means of earning it by their own labour. He moved a resolution to the effect that, destitution was prevailing to a fearful extent in the city and suburbs, and in various other districts ; and that it was too deeply rooted to be removed by the effects of private benevolence. This was seconded by James A. An derson, Esq., supported by the Rev. Dr. Burns, of Paisley, and agreed to.—Professor Win. Thomson moved the second resolution, to the effect that, in some parts of Scotland, the operation of the poor-law was illusory, in other parts not acted on at all, while the poor were gathered to those places where a provision was made for paupers. He strongly urged the necessity of altering the law, so as to secure a better pro vision for the poor.—Seconded by Mr. N. Stevenson, and agreed to.—Mr. Bennet gave a variety of statistical details connected with the college parish ; after which Dr. Willis moved the third resolution, in favour of a civil instead of an ecclesiastical management of the poor, and complained very strongly of the inefficiency of the present system. This hav been seconded by Mr. N. Stevenson, and carried, a memorial to government was agreed to.—Glasgow Argus. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CLYDE.—We have the melan choly duty of announcing the occurrence of an accident on the river, which resulted in the death of two persons, one of l i them a gentleman well known and highly respected in this city, viz., Mr. Robert Henderson, of the eminent firm of Messrs. R. and J. Henderson, of London and Glasgow. At four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Robert Henderson, his brother Mr. John Henderson, and the Rev. Dr. King, proceeded from the Broomielaw, in the Windsor Castle steam-boat, with the view of lauding at Mr. Henderson's country seat of Park. Arriving opposite Park Quay, they, along with a female servant of Mr. Henderson's, were put into a small boat, and almost immediately after having pushed off from the Windsor Castle, another steamer, the Shandon, was observed coming up the river towards them, when Mr. Robert Henderson exclaimed, " We shall be run down," and a collision soon followed, in consequence of which the small boat was instantly submerged, and all on board (five in num ber, including the boatman) were left struggling in the . water The Shandon was immediately stopped, and every asr was given by both steamers. Three of the party were re, cued, viz., Mr. J. Henderson, the Rev. Dr. King, and the boatman. Mr. R. Henderson was picked up at the same time as Dr. King, but was insensible when taken out, and every attempt to restore animation proved abortive. The body of the servant has not been found.—Glasgow Courier.

On Wednesday week, as Major Elmsall , of the South West 'Yorkshire Cavalry, was exercising his horse, with others, prior to the assembling of the corps next day, the horse took fright and sprang off, when the major, by coming in contact with the bough of a tree, was thrown down and se verely hurt.

A few days ago, says a Brussels journal, a detachment e-t 30 soldiers, on their march from Courtrai to Bruges, at tempted to take some liberties with three girls who were at work in the fields. One of the girls, in defending herself, struck a soldier on the head with a spade with such force that he died two days afterwards. Cockchafers are so numerous in the environs of Arnheim, says a Dutch journal, that the authorities have offered a premium of Two Dutch cents (nearly a sou) for every quart of these insects caught and delivered to them. The Dutch journal asserts that at this premium a boy can earn as much as two florins a-day. THE CORN TRADE.—One of the chief houses in the corn trade in London, in a circular addressed to its friends last week, states that holders of bonded wheat, by refraining from paying duty until the latter end of June, may rely upon ob taining a profit for their money of no less than two per cent. per week I—Perhaps not. We are glad to learn that the presentment made at the court leet of the Duke of Bridgewater's trustees, as lords of the manor of Bedford, against the builders of a turf house there, on Siddall Common (improperly called the Hall of Science), has had its due effect, for the parties, in order to save their fines, have had the good sense to pull it down to the ground ; and we hope such midnight meetings will never be held again, either for gambling or any political purposes. DEATH FROM THE KICK OF A HORSE.—On Sunday af ternoon last, Thomas Jackson, of Didsbury, went into the stable of Mr. Occleston, surgeon, Cheadle, for some purpose, and while there, the horse kicked him so violently on the belly that death terminated his sufferings on the following morning, at seven o'clock. The deceased was 48 years of age, and was a pensioner, having been 25 years in the British army.—Stockport Advertiser. - - - • THE WEATHER. — After a week or ten days of fine dry weather, succeeding some most refreshing showers, we had a heavy fall of rain yesterday evening, which commenced at four o'clock, and continued without intermission for several hours. If at all general, it must be of essential service to the crops. During the last few days the weather has been very sultry for this season of the year.—Ulster Times. THE WEATHER.—It commenced raining heavily in the afternoon of Wednesday, since when it has continued to pour down with little intermission. We believe that, so far from the quantity of rain that has just fallen proving injurious to the crops, it will tend to serve them most materially. All our accounts from , the provinces concur in stating that nothing can exceed the verdure and beauty which the whole face of the country presents.—Dublin paper. THE DEANERY OF ST. PATRICK'S, DIIBLIN.—It is un derstood that Dr. Ratcliffe will pronounce judgment on Tues day next (this day), in the long litigated question arising out of the election to the deanery of St. Patrick's, vacant by the death of the lamented Dean Dawson. In the legal circles it is believed that the parties (Doctors Daly and Wilson), will be sent to a new election. FIRE AT HAMBURGH.—The captain of a vessel which ar rived at Haure on Tuesday, from Hamburgh, which place he quitted on the 14th instant, states, that in clearing away the ruins of the buildings which have been destroyed, 160 bodies had already been found ; twenty-two of them were in a cellar. He states, as positive, that 1500 houses have been ,entirely destroyed, and 720 so injured as to be uninhabitable in their present state. THE SCHOOLMASTER AT LEEDS.—Some time ago, much merriment was occasioned in Leeds by the fact that one of our " Russell magistrates" for the borough, whose erudition is not remarkable, ordered a juvenile delinquent (in writing) to be privately wiped." Last week, with a keen sense of his blunder on his mind, he had come to a similar decision, and he ordered the offender (again in writing) not to be wiped, but to be floged I In avoiding Charybdis, how often do frail mortals fall upon Scylla.—Leeds Conservative Journal. THE BISHOP OF WORCESTER AND " THE TRACTARI ANS."-It is but a week or two since a report was current in this town, that the bishop had interdicted the Rev. M. W. Foye from delivering any more of his lectures against the Tractarian system. And but for our own personal exertions, this report, though utterly destitute of the slightest founda tion, save that in some minds, perhaps, " The wish was father to the thought," would have appeared in two of the morning papers, and thence, doubtless, have " gone the round," representing our reverend diocesan as being the first of the bench of bishops to foster those peculiarities which he, in common with so many reverend prelates, had condemned. Birmingham Advertiser. PRINCE ALBERT'S TAILOR'S BILL.—A " London corre spondent" of the Dundee Warder writes to inform the good people of Dundee, that Prince Albert's tailor's bill amounts to the enormous sum of £250! and thereupon con cludes that his Royal Highness's " love of dress " must be absorbing. The worthy critic of the cost of the royal ward robe has, we should imagine, taken his notions of expendi ture from the prices of Rag-fair in the Minories, and has probably no idea of the cost even of a subaltern's uniform, far less of a court dress for an officer of state. We should be very sorry to he obliged to pay the tailor's bill of any royal princein Europe, if £250 were the wherewithal. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—It is with feelings of the deep est regret we have to announce the melancholy and frightful death of Master John Pennefather, the eldest son of the Lord Chief Justice, which took place on Friday morning, at Bray Head. The unfortunate young gentleman, who was ap proaching his seventeenth year, left his father's residence, near Bray, about half-past eight o'clock, accompanied by a younger brother, in order to enjoy the pleasure of a morning walk, and when on Bray Head, his hat was blown off by a gust of wind which suddenly sprung up from the land. While in the act of seeing where it was blown to, and approaching for that purpose too near the precipice, it is supposed that either his foot slipped or his head became giddy; but he was precipitated down the fearful abyss, and killed on the spot. On his being taken up, a wound was found on the left side of the forehead, which completely exposed the brain, so that lite must have been extinct before he reached the bottom.—Dub lin Paper. We (says the Standard) have much pleasure in copying from the Globe (Washington, United States, paper) the fol lowing tribute to Sir Robert Peel's financial measures. It is not without reason that the right hon. baronet calculates upon the imitation by other countries of the wise policy which he recommends to his own ; exactly in proportion as other nations are intelligent and free, will they follow the example of Great Britain. But it need not be said that it is only with free and intelligent nations we can hope for com mercial relations at once profitable and secure ; let those who complain of the existence of privileged classes in this country look to the following observations for proof of the effect of the absence of recognised privileged classes in " The Model Republic.—" The New British Tariff.—We have before us the new tariff introduced by the British premier, Sir Robert Peel, into the British parliament. It is not yet acted on ; but all such projects, involving as they do the continuance in power of the ministry itself, are well considered before they are brought forward. The bill will therefore undoubtedly pass, with but very few modifications. From its details, it clearly appears that the Tories of England have far greater affinities and respect for the people than their associates and brethren on this side of the Atlantic. Instead of heaping taxes on the consumers of the country, Sir Robert Peel proposes to reduce those now existing generally one half ; and, to make up the deficiency which may arise from this source, meet the for mer inadequacy in the treasury by laying a prooerty and income-tax on the cepitalists and fundholders of the country. This is a policy worthy a statesman to whose conduct are en trusted the interests and destinies of a great nation ; and when contrasted with the mean, sectional, unju.4t, anti republican, and altogether detestable scheme of taxation con tained in the bill lately introduced into the House of Repre sentatives, on the part of the Committee on Manufactures, by one of the Essex Junto and Hartford Convention origi nators, reflects most disadvantageously on the imitators of the English Conservatism, now in power in our government. y With us, in a repub lic, to raise leail theecessaries of life all n r , evenue of only 26,000,000 dollars, it is proposed to tax heavily income, insufficient for the annual wants andthe thetaxesenormous are n o f the O p O c O np o l o e o , n w n h a ic e l r i athceleperocoarscinognsume ; whilst in England, in a monarchy, " a d o wn f o ed i t l h t a ot e r h s ar g en tlo w v o them. - otshelisw?howaree better able, and who, on every principle of just government, ought to pay How are know of but one solution.

CORK COUNTY ELECTION PETITION.—The committee have decided, that Messrs. O'Connell and Roche were duly elected for Cork county, at the last election. POST OFFICE ROBBERY.—On Friday, a girl employed in the post-office at Edgbaston, was sentenced to six months imprisonment, for having purloined a number of letters and papers. She had not opened them, but they were stolen for the purpose of being given to a young man of her acquaint ance. On Thursday evening last, a splendid trout, weighing 81bs• was caught by Mr. Havell, of Reading, while fishing with a minnow from Blake's -bridge, near the county gaol. It is not many days ago that Mr. Havell, jun., caught a trout weighing above filbs near the same spot.—Berkshire paper, - _ EXTRAORDINARY INSTANCE OF GOOD FORTUNE.—(From a Correspondent.)—Edward Hibbert, a porter, in the employ of Messrs. Bramah, Prestage, and Ball, 124, Piccadilly, has been discovered to be heir-at-law to estates in Isleworth, Whitton, Fleet-street, and Devonshire, to the value of £1,200,000. - - MADAME GRISIYS FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—An accident happened last week which might have had a very serious termination, and deprived the public of the services of this distinguished vocalist. When driving in a close carriage in the vicinity of her abode in the Regent's Park, one of the carriage springs gave way, and the carriage was completely upset, the only way of releasing Madame Grisi being to get her removed through the window, which was one of great hazard and no little difficulty. She fortunately escaped unhurt. CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.—The Rev. John Harding, Rector of Blackfriars, London, in a letter addressed to the Record, sa y s , " inasmuch as th e soc i e t y can do no thing of itself, but can act only so far as the clergy avail themselves of its assistance, and are sanctioned by their diocesan in so doing, if any man finds fault with the society, he does, in fact, impeach that large body of clergy who have connected themselves with it, and tho se p re l a t es o f th e church who, by their patronage of the society, or their licenses given to the curates supported by its funds, have countenanced and encouraged its proceedings." FATAL ACCIDENT.—We deeply regret to announce that an accident, which has proved fatal in its results, occurred yesterday, about two o'clock, to the under-named respected gentleman, at his residence, Stormount, within a short dis tance of this town. It appears Mr. Cleland had employed a number of men in pulling down an old house, lately occupied by one of his own servants. While the men were proceed ing with the work, as Mr. Cleland was superintending their operations, the gable of the house suddenly gave way, and, coming down With a tremendous crash, melancholy to re late, buried the unfortunate and lamented gentleman beneath its ruins. He expired almost instantly.- —Ulster Times KINSALE PETITION—About forty witnesses started yes terday for London. Some of the friends of Mr. Watson, summoned at the instance of the petitioner, seem not in clined to go, but we dare say the Speaker will know, how to deal with them.

We intimated at the time that in a few months the honour able gentleman would be wishing his money in his pocket ; but he would not listen to us.—Cork paper. A WITTY BARBER.—A gentleman went into a shop in Bedford, on Whit Monday, to be shaved ; the barber was engaged in shaving a tailor of the same street, with whom he was conversing on the conduct or misconduct of some of the professors of religion. During the time the young man was operating, the tailor remained mute, but as soon as he had an opportunity of wagging his jaw without fear, with attitude and elocution surpassing that of Kemble himself, he ex claimed, " You may tella tree by its fruit ;" when the bar ber, fixing his eye upon his waistcoat, which was joined in two places, calmly said, " If I may judge of your waistcoat, your's is cabbage."—Bedford Mercury. INSOLVENCY AND DISSOLUTION OF THE COMMERCIAL STEAM-PACKET COMPANY. This company, the head quarters of which was London, is insolvent, and its affairs are now winding up. Its liabilities amount to £140,000. £112,000 has been offered for its vessels, and the shareholders are called upon to make up, by a per centage on their shares, the deficiency of £28,000, besides losing all their capital. The following question was put and answer given at the me eting of the shareholders, held on Thursday last :—A. proprietor : " What has been the cause of the present state of the company's affairs ?" Mr. Wire : "It arose from the competition of two or three companies against each other, when their vessels were running for fares that were de structive to both. At one time, a shilling was the charge for going to Boulogne." (Hear.) CHARTIST AGITATION AGAINST ENLISTMENT.—SinCe the meeting of chartist delegates, held at Birmingham about a month since, a systematic agitation has been carried on in that town and neighbourhood, for the purpose of deterring persons from enlisting in her Majesty's service ; and it is known that the agents employed in these disloyal and sediti ous practices, have not confined their efforts to mere argu ments against enlistment. but have, in many cases. tampered with the soldiers, en route for foreign service, with the view of inducing them to desert. - One of the serjeants, in endea vouring to pass through the streets, was assailed with abusive epithets, and so obstructed, for many days, that he complain ed to the police, who took the offenders into custody, and they were bound over to answer any charge that may be pre ferred against them. THE NEW TARIFF.—DUTY ON CORK. The duty at present payable on cork is Ss. per cwt., and in consequence of its being stated in the new tariff that the duty on that article will, from and after sth Jan., 1813, be reduced to ls. per " ton," it was generally believed by the trade that the duty on this item in the tariff was, by mistake, incorrectly given, the present duty being imposed by the cwt., and that the word "ton" had been misprinted; or inadvertently in serted for cwt. To remove all doubts on the subject, a gen tleman, at the request of several cork manufacturers, wrote a letter to Sir Robert Peel, respectfully requesting to be informed whether the new duty of ls. was to be imposed by the cwt., as at present, or by the ton. On Saturday morning the Premier's reply was received, and is as follows :7 " Whitehall, 20th May, 1842. Sir,-1 am directed by Sir Rober Peel to acquaint you in reply to your letter of the 16th May, that the duty on cork, in the new tariff, is meant to be taken by the ton.-1 - am, sir, your obedient servant, (signed,) W. H. Stephenson. Mr. Goodfellow, 14, Burr street, Lower East Smithfield." TRACTARIANISM.—It gives us much pleasure to lay the following information before our readers :—" By the provi sions of the Theological Statute passed at Oxford last week, Dr. Hampden, the Regius Professor of Divinity, has been constituted Chairman of the New Theological Board, and is also recognised as a public University Professor in Dogmatic Theology. The statute, therefore, virtually rescinds the judgment passed by the University on the Professor's theo logical opinions, in 1836, on occasion of his appointment to the chair by Her Majesty, at the recommendation of the late whig administration." This is as it ought to be. The ap. pointment we consider excellent in itself ; while it is another proof that Tractarianism is fading in the estimation of those in places of highest influence in the church. As we have already intimated, we are disposed to think, that in future our warfare will be chiefly directed, not against Puseyism in its rampant state, but against its principles, insidiously ad vanced as the principles of our church, while in essence they ire Tractarian principles—in other words, Popish principles —as these are diametrically opposed to the principles of the 4.ospel.—Record. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION IN A BED.—A few days since a remarkable case of the spontaneous combustion of a bed occurred in the family of C. D. Archibald, Esq., F.R.S., of Portland-place, Leamington, which, but for its timely disco very, might have led to very disastrous results. The alarm was given of a fire which had broken out in one of two bed steads in a bedroom, on which there were two beds, the one a paillasse and the other what was supposed to be a hair mat tress. It was promptly extinguished by the application of water, when it was ascertained that a hole, about eight inches in diaMeter, had burned completely through the floor imme diately under the bed, and, on examining the bedding, a cor responding circle of combustion was found both in the mat tress and paillasse. The former turned out, on examination, instead of hair, to have merely a thin superficial covering of that substance, the interior being made up, amongst other things, of roughly broken flax, tow, and oakum, which sub stances only require the contact of oil or grease to ignite of themselves. This process, which goes on under ordinary circumstances of the atmosphere, would unquestionably be promoted even by such an elevation of temperature as mere animal heat. It would appear, that after having commenced in the tow or other contents at the under side of the mat tress, thence to have burned downwards through the paillasse, the straw and ignited materials setting fire to the floor, and thence to the curtains and hangings. Mr. Booth, the lectu rer on chemistry, who has paid much attention to this curious and intricate subject, and to whom these facts were thus re lated, finds no difficulty in adding this to the many authentic cases of spontaneous combustion; and, as many such mat tresses are undoubtedly in use, it should operate as a whole some caution. THE CASE OF MR. C. MATHEWS. — In the Observer of last Sunday a general analysis of the schedule and other docu ments filed in the Insolvent Debtors' Court by Mr. C. Mathews, the late manager of Covent-garden Theatre, was given, and we now proceed, from the same sources, to state some further particulars relating to the speculations in which that gentleman and Madame Vestris were concerned. In the first place, it may be stated that the performers have sub scribed to present Mr. C. Matthews and his wife with an ele gant candelabrum, which has been made in testimony of their approval of the late management of the theatre; but the same will not be presented until after the final hearing of the case, as it would become the property of the creditors ; and for the same reason no benefit will take place, as it has been suggested should be given, on account of the osses sus tained in the establishment. Mr. C. Mathews took his bene fit at Covent-garden Theatre on Saturday night, and he was taken in execution on the following Monday. The question, therefore, naturally arose, what had he done with the money ? That question is, however, easily an swered, by reference to the schedule, in which is a state ment showing that he had anticipated the proceeding by borrowing various sums of persons, to whom he gave orders on Mr. Robertson, the treasurer, and they were paid accordingly. In this way the money was dissi pated, and Mr. Mathews left with a very few pounds. It seems that the trip to America was an unfortunate one, and that a sum of £5OO remitted for the purposes of the Olympic Theatre was an entire loss. The general balance-sheet (which, by the practice of the court, must commence from the earliest date in the schedule) shows that £650 was re ceived for thirteen nights' performance at New York ; £4OO for twelve nights at Philadelphia; and £7OO on the second engagement at New York, of fourteen nights, making in the whole £1750, whilst the expenses were about £lOOO. It is stated on the schedule-sheet, that from Easter to the closing the performers above £8 a-week received only half salaries ; and in juxta-position to the debt of £6,166, claimed by the proprietors for arrears of rent, is a long statement setting forth the agreement under which the theatre was taken, the effect of which is to show that it was taken verbally from Mr. Moore, with an understanding that any sum above £5,000 to £7,000 a-year would be accepted, after deducting £6O a week for his own services and those of Madame Vestris ; and until a recent period before the close he was having paid during the not aware of the present claim, three seasons the sums of £5,000, £6,150, and £2,38-1 ; besides which last-mentioned sum, £7OO would accrue from private boxes, and £l,OOO from the German Opera now performing at the theatre. The balance-sheet states, that £750 a year has bten spent in household expenses, £l4O a year for horse hire and keep, and £350 a year for clothes and theatrical dresses. Among the property detained by the proprietors are clothes and theatrical ward robes to the estimated value of £5OO. There are no perform. ers in the schedule as creditors for services rendered at Co vent-garden, and a very few of those who were engaged at the Olympic. The names of various " money-lenders" are set forth ; and, with the law expenses, amounting to £4,500 in less than five years, is indicativ e of certain involvements. of annuity, A sum of £3,000 was raised by way which soon disappeared in payments. When Madame Vestris com pounded with her creditors to about £B,OOO, she raised th e money by sale o f h er own property, and it appears that her jewels alon e were so ld f or £l,OOO. A vast deal of informa tion is given in the schedule.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, MAY 21. The improvement which we reported in our last circular has been fully confirmed by the result of the past week's business, there having been a steady inquiry for each article at full, and some in stances, advancing prices. Arrivals of home produce by way of Liverpool and Runcorn are small, and there is scarcely anything coming here from the East Coast or the interior. In the agricultural markets a further rise in the price of Wheat has taken place, and with little exception the supply brought forward is scarcely more than sufficient for the wants of the local millers. The opinion of the trade may also be gathered from the steady and increasing enquiry for bonded Wheat and Flour, the former of which is 2d to 3d per bushel, the latter Is to Is 6d per barrel higher than on this day week. At our market this morning we have a steady enquiry for suitable qualities of new Enghish Wheat, at an advance of 2d to 3d per bushel ; good new being very scarce. The best samples of foreign old meet a more ready sale, and are Id to 2d per bushel dearer. For secondary and inferior qualities there is little demand, but their value is fully supported. Our stock of good fresh Flour is very low, and there is a ready sale for it at an advance of Is per sack. Oats are id per bushel, and Meal 6d to Is per load higher, with a fair inquiry fur both : a large proportion of the stock is, however, withdrawn from sale. Beans are Is per quarter dearer. Malt steady at late prices. Marlots. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 20 The trade is firm at Monday's prices for English Wheat, and rather more is doing in free Foreign. Barley is without alteration. Oats steady for tine qualities ; inferior light Irish very dull. There is no particular variation to notice in Beans, Peas, or other grain. Seeds of all kinds in brisk demand. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 20 Trade to-day was again dull, and notwithstanding a small supply of Beasts and Sheep many remained unsold in consequence of the very limited demand. Beef in particular was a very heavy sale, at a further decline in prices of 2d per stone. Mutton, Veal and Pork remained on the whole steady, at Monday's terms. Lamb recovered to 6s for inferior, and 7s for superior quality. Per stone of 81b, sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MAY 23. We have had a fair supply of Beasts and Sheep at this day's market, and prices firm at last week's quotations. Prime Beef Sad to 6id ; middling 6d to bid ; prime Wethers 7id ; shearlings 6jd. There was a good supply of Lambs, and last week's prices were maintained, say from 2os to 30s, sinking the offal. Number of Beasts 728, Sheep and Lambs 4049. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 23. New grass Butter is in good demand ;—going off as it arrives at 96s to 98s, notwithstanding the genial rains which we now ex perience. No good old Butter is left ;—and it is probable that the present rates for new, will be tolerably supported for a short time. There is much anxiety evinced by holders to part with middling and inferior descriptions of Beef and Pork ; and a very moderate figure would, we believe, be taken ;—meat, however, suitable for an Indian voyage, on the other hand, looks up, and expected to be dearer. Bacon is a speculative article, and considerable parcels are changing hands :—There is also a good consumptive demand at 52s for Belfast middling. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, May 23 Since this day week there has been a tolerable fair supply of Potatoes to hand, both from the Isle of Man, Scotland, and Ire land, which have met with very ready sale, principally to our town retail traders, at the full prices then current.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAY 21. Owing to the extensive business in Cotton yesterday, (7000 bales), all parties were on the qui vise this morning, and what re mained unsold, was soon placed under offer. The attendance of the trade was not very numerous, nevertheless buying was carried on with some spirit, and 5000 bales were sold at the full prices of yesterday, in many instances a slight advance was paid ; the market closed steadily, but as some thought, with some abate ment of the mornings excitement. COTTON MARKET, MAY 23, At the opening of our Cotton market this morning their were evident symptons of a desire on the part of buyers to purchase freely. The quantity of Cotton offering was not adequate to the demand, hence the difficulty to get on at last week's prices as the day advanced. Holders brought out their stocks at id to id ad vance, which in most instances was readily paid, and business pro ceeded with animation. About the mid-day a spectflative demand sprung up, which continued to the close of 'Change, when the day's transactions iwere estimated at full 7900 bales, at the es tablished advance of id v lb on the lowest business of last week. At this advance importers shew more willingness to offer their stocks, and this circumstance gives the buyer more choice, and causes a little unevenness in the market, particularly in Cotton ranging fair and upwards. The market wears a healthy appear ance, and gives indication that the "change for the better" will soon be permanent. COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT. The week commenced with a moderate demand for American, which, since Tuesday, has improved, and lower qualities have been more saleable, but without any advance in price ; good still remain scare, and the market is firmer ; Brazil is again in request at the last quotations ; in Egyptian and Surat there is no change. Speculators have taken 4500 American and 400 Surat, and Ex porters 2000 American and 100 Pernambuco.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXcjIXNGE, Mar 20 The duty is reduced on foreign Wheat to 12s per civa . „,. on Flour to 7s 21d per barrel, and on colonial Beaus to per quarter ; that on all other produce remaining unva " until this day week. From Ireland, coastwise, and abroad, the arrivals of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal into this port since Tuesday last, have been extremely small; but amply provided from granary, sufficient of most articles is brought forward to meet the present wants of the trade, although holders do not appear urgent to pay duties upon foreign Wheats, except in cases where sales are previously effected to consumers.—ln this way, during the last two days, good samples of free Wheats were disposed of to a moderate extent ; several further car goes also, afloat and in bond, changed hands at improving rates, which constitute the principal features in the Corn trade here within that period. Having a tolerably good assemblage of both town and country buyers this morning, the market, opened with higher expectations on the part of holders, and in a few partial in stances good free Wheats realised a small amendment over Tuesday's rates ; but no general improvement being obtain able, and the millers resisting any advance, the transactions on the whole were rather limited than otherwise, and the concluding terms merely equal to our last quotations. English and Irish Flour moved off sparingly, at late prices ; but States and Canadian, duty paid, being in fair re quest, rather exceeded the rates last noted. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, although decidedly diffi cult of sale, remained stationary in value. Oats were held at an advance of ld. per 451b5., which, not withstanding good qualities are scarce, could not be acquired, and we therefore repeat our last currency. Oatmeal, on the contrary, was saleable at an improvement of 6d per load ; and Indian Corn in demand for Ireland at 38s to 40s per 480 lbs. After several days of dry clear weather, favourable for the completion of spring culture, we had from an early hour, and during a great part of yesterday, a fine fertilizing rain, the beneficial effects of which are already visible in the ap pearance of the crops under the ground in the circle around us ; and having showers again this morning, they may now be expected to progress vigorously.
