The juice is pressed, and left to ferment, in the same way as that of the grape, after which it is put into casks, without the admixture of either alcohol or water. SETERITY.—A remarkable story ia recorded of Zalenens, the law-giver of the Locrians, who was distinguished for his rigorous ex ecution of the law against adultery. His own son, having been guilty, he determined to deprive him of his sight, and long continued unmoved from his purpose by the earnest and reiterated entreaties of the peo Considering the crime, however, as one that ought not pl e b e forgiven, he submitted to the painful operation of losing one of his own after which time, inorder to redeem one of his son's eyes ; t is sa id, the crime of adultery Sheridanunknown in that State. k JOINT CoNcensr.—When was in distress in -`.. one of his - resources was, writing for the fugitive r. in which he was materially assisted by and many years after his entrance into the sphere of politics he was heard to say' tha mach ad stuck to the law, he believed he shoulu have done as as his friend Tom Erskine :but (contined he) " I had no time for such studi.es. Mrs. Sheridan and myself were often obliged to keep writing for our daily leg or shoulder of mutton, otherwise we should have had no dinner."

THE Suecgssog or THE APOSTLES. — Blessed be God that many are those amongst us whom the Lord accounts faithful. We know how great is the influence of such a Pastor, and how generously it is acknowledged when he walks among his charge, not as an unapproachable mystic, but as one of like infirmities with his flock, not as too learned to soli stoop to the dulness of the ignorant, nor too austere to share in the poor man's joy—the friend of the oppressed, the soli tary, and the mourner ; the companion of the lambs of the fold, ,and the comforter of the aged the ad in their pilgrimage. Many are the kindly offices which he undertakes, — mission of children to schools the little loan to the needy, clothing for the naked. inte cession the rigid creditor, r with advice in perplexity, instruction in ignorance, sYroP3thY in !sickness, and consolation in the house where death has made its abode. In short, as it is the constant employment, so it is th e d e li g htful privilege, of the faithful minister of Christ, in humble imitation of his divine master, to preach the Gospel to the poor, and to go " about doing good.

There the arch fiend, broken loose fproasm hell, emerging from chaos, and, for the first time, beholding the new-created light of another world, is thereby `y y -- reminded of the high estate from which he had been cast down by „ pride and worse ambition." In the opening of Milton's tragedy of Samson Agonistes, Samson is brought out of the dungeon, and laid down upon a sunny bank, to enjoy the warmth of the day, and the freshness of the breeze. By the way, he speaks first to his attendant and then to himself, of his departed glory, his ignominious bondage, and his lament able blindness. Satan and Samson thus present two most striking spectacles of angel and man, fallen by transg,ression from the loftiest eminence which either could occupy, the one in heaven, the other on earth. The contrast is awful and ons of the da big wife iend, racked AI affecting t to cope with attle fie not in the open fraud ; that fiend, carr into the bosom of Paradis and agony, and calls him by " hates his beams," and r 1d horror, on the c Almighty, tiv, b,: r violence , ell that Stint within himself KS Up to the sun with rage name, to tell him how he "rom his splendour as that 'it, and aggravates his fixed la the other band, blind which most annoys his sense of gu. despair.

To contrast d theen se two addresses of Satan and Samson with each other, an th to compare both with the poet's most touching la mentation . over his own bereavement, in the opening of the thi rd book, of Paradise Lost, wilt prove a deeply interesting exercise o.t taste, sympathy, and nice discernment, to the sensitive and intelligent reader, who will be filled with admiration at the wealth and diversity of talent displayed by the author on three several occasions, at once so like and so unlike each other.

The jury retired, and on their return repeated their first answer--that he threw himself from the bridge with the intention of de stroyingbut that he was not then capable of judging betZeen himself, but wrong. The verdict was then entered for the defendants, and a rule was subsequently obtained to set this verdict aside, and to enter it for the plaintiff instead. The rule was argued in Trinity term last, and the arguments were very fully reported in The Times of Tuesday, June 7.

A large amount of business is still doing in all widths of vrit Iting cloth ; and shirtings, suited for the India Market, arc r ather worse to buy. Domestic cloth is fiat, and some hon,lel . have been forced to reduce their prices. The yarn market is not very brisk, and lower prices than for many months have b, en taken. The country trade is very flat, for few drapers o;' wholesale houses have visited us this week.

Mr. Justice Maule, Mr. Justice Erskine, and Mr. Justice Coltman, said, that the question presented to the court for their determination was, whether Mr. Borradaile " died by his own hands," within the meaning of the proviso in the policy, which stipulated that if the assured should die on the se as, or go without license beyond the limits o f Europe, or en ter into the naval or military service, or should die by the hands of justice, " by his own hands," or by duelling, or should at the time of entering into the policy be affected by a disease which would tend to shorten life, the policy should be void. It was admitted that if the party assured threw himself into the water, the case fell within the meaning of the literal terms of the proviso. It ought to be concluded, therefore, that the parties to the policy meant what they said, unless there was something in the context which showed an intention of restricting the ordinary signification of the language which had been employed. The directors of the as sociation must have known, as practical men, that in the event of a contested claim up on th em , they would have but a small chance with a jury, a n d th a t the circumstance of a distressed family being engaged in a struggle with a wealthy body would not be very likely to lead to a calm consideration of the circumstances under which the claim was preferred. The object, therefore, with which the words " die by his own hands" were introduced into the proviso was clear. It had been urged on the behalf of the plaintiff, that at any rate there must have been an intention by the party assured to di e by his own hand, and that an i nsane person had no con trolahle intention. Bait there was no ground for saying that Mr. Borradaile was affected by an uncontrolable impulse to destroy himself.; and on the contrary, the jury had found that be threw himself into the river knowing that he should destroy himself, and intending so to do. Their lordships said they could not but distrust the soundness of their judg ment when it was opposed to that of the lord chief justice, but the parties had a right to the expression of their opinion, a nd their opinion was, that the defendants were entitled to retain the verdict which had been entered for them. Lord Chief Justice Tindal said, that it appeared to him, upon the bst consideration which he could give to this case, that the pla e intiff was entitled to the judgment of the court. The question was, whether the circumstances under which Mr. Borradaile took away his own life brought the case within the terms of the proviso in the policy ? and it appeared to him, upon the proper construction of that proviso, that the death of the assured was covered by the policy. It was to be observed that the terms of the policy was not language introduced by the assured, but by the insurers, and in reason and good sense, therefore, as well as on all principles of legal eonstruction, the words of the policy were to be taken most strongly against the party using them. When an ambiguous expression was employed, the party who adopted it must not complain if it was interpreted to his disadvantage. Now, the words, " die by his own hand," were words much want ing in certainty and precision. Upon a strict construction of them, every death occasioned by the hand of the party would fall within the meaning of the policy, whether the death was occasioned intentionally, or by misadventure, as by falling on a sword or a knife, or by the bursting of a gun in the party's hands, or in an access of sudden frenzy. It was justly admitted, that death occasioned by these means would not come within the meaning of the condition in the policy ; although death would have been produced by the party's own hand. On the other hand, a party might drown himself, or fall from a height, or suffocate himself; and yet in tbese last-mentioned cases no doubt could be entertained that the mode of death would bring the circumstances within the condition of the proviso. Considerable latitude must be given to words used, as these were, in a metaphorical sense ; and it appeared to him, looking at the context, and the position in which the words were found, that the words " dying by his own hands " could not but mean dyingfelo de se. Three cases of death were manifestly intended to fall within the meaning of that proviso ; " dying by the hands of justice, by his own hands, or by duelling." The word "dying " was prefixed to the first member of the sentence only, and go verned these three cases of death. The first and last kind of death mentioned in the sentence were felonious in their nature ; and, applying the rule "noscitor a sociis," it would follow that " dying by his own hands " must be taken to mean a felonious killing by the party of himself, that was, self-murder. It appeared to him, therefore, that there ought to be judgment for the plaintiff; but while he expressed that opinion, he did so with a proper degree of doubt and distrust, in consequence of the difference of opinion entertained by his learned brothers. It was, at all events, satisfactory to him to know that if he had arrived at a wrong conclusion, it would not do any injury to the parties. The rule was consequently discharged. BOLTON.—The trade of Bolton continues to maintain its improved state, without, _however, further advances. Coun terpanes cannot be said t o have been exceedingly brisk dur ing the last fortnight, alt., lough making a fair sale.

Calico, block, and machine printing is brisker than it has been since the year 1834; at several print shops, the whole c f the tables are en gaged, and in others more are put up. ' 'he cotton trade at Burnley, Padiham, and their vicinities h as improved, and band-loom weavers' wages have been ads anced.

TRADE OF LEEDS.—The demand for manu Eictured wool lens continues steadily improving, and we are bappy to ob serve that there is not only an improvement in she quantity but in the quality of the goods purchased. l'h,e markets, since our last, have been well attended, and the rt• has been an extended business done in the finer descriptim is of goods, those which are calculated to call for an increased amount of labour in the dressing departments. Several of the manu factories are now running full time, and it is hoped Shat, ere long, others will be able to do likewise.—Leeds Intelfencer, of Saturday. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—We had again a brisk en arket here on Tuesday, in both plain and fancy cloths, but vs. e are unable to report any improvement in prices. Until thud can be accomplished the manufacturers will be unable to ads.is nee the wages of their workpeople, which have been depressocl to a ruinously low point during the late stagnation. With t heir former wages and the present reasonable prices of food, the operatives would be enabled to re-clothe themselves and .C.. - milies, (which they have been, for some time, unable to do ,) and that would give an additional impetus to the spring that business is now making.—lbid. HALIFAX MARKET.—The demand for manufactured goods here on Saturday was fully as good as we have had to report of late ; and the demand was not confined to one de scription of stuffs, but comprised nearly all kinds. Both the yarn and wool markets were firmer, but no material advance of price can be noted.—lbid: BRADFORD MARKET. —W e bad again a full attendance of buyers at this market on Thursday, and a very good business was transacted, in both plain and fancy goods, at the rates which have been for some time current. There was an active demand for yarns, and as the stocks lately on hand aro very much reduced, if not wholly exhausted, prices were very firm. The wool market was brisk, but there was no improvement upon recent rates.—Bid. CLAYTON.—The trade at this place is improving, and the operatives are now better employed than they were a few weeks since ; yct wages continue ruinously low.—lbid. LEICESTER HOSIERY TRADE.—From all that we can learn, we believe that the hosiery trade has improved this week, and were the bank to resume payment, we have no doubt it would be found materially so. The cotton cut-up Bose branch is better, and many who have only had partial employment for several weeks, now get full work. A most energetic and unexpected struggle is taking place in the glove trade. The season for making woollen gloves having com menced, the largest glove house has signified its intention of reducing the wages in the same ratio that Lisle thread gloves were reduced some months ago. The fancy trade is im proving, but rather slowly in some articles ; stiil it is pro gressing, which raises great hopes : at all events it is much more consolatory than if it was declining.—Nottingham Journal, of Friday. ROCHDALE FLAs:NEL MARKET, MONDAY, MAY S.— There has been an unusually good attendance of buyers in the market to-day, who have purchased very freely, but prices have been extremely low. Wool has been more in quired after, and more extensive sales have been effected than on the preceding Monday. Prices remain firm. TAE TRADE IN " PRODIGIOUS SACRIFICES !! " -A mer cantile house has been set up in London, with no other view than to send out rotten old ships, laden with suppositious bales of goods, for the sole purpose of being wrecked, and in that way to plunder the insurance offices. The lives sacri ficed in this horrible speculation led to general outcry, when, by some accidental, or rather providential, circumstance, the thing was discovered. We are always hearing of prodigious bargains on sale, some article offered for less than it could possibly be sold at, unless on some other article a profit equivalent to this loss is to be made; and if only equivalent, who would be at the trouble, and incur the risk of such a venturous game ? We may point to large establishments, not " selling off," but in thriving business, undertaking to supply some small matter in very general use at 50 or 100 per cent. less than the very preparation, exclusive of the material, must cost them, if the poor creatures who fashion it are paid with any regard to common honesty or decency in the transaction. How can this be, unless purchasers, tempted by such a lure to frequent the establishment, are enormously overchargd,—in plain, English, defrauded, in somewhat else ? We cannot exonerate the buyers of these bargains; they must know, if they put their reasoning facul ties to the use for which they were given, that a man who is trying to make a fortune by his shop will not yield to an im pulse of such romantic generosity, as not only to offer the public in general a very expensive present at his own proper cost, but also to lay out a good round sum in advertising his very benevolent and very preposterous intentions. Some body, they may be assured, must suffer; the tradesman will take care that he shall not be the losing party, and the bar gain-hunter may go, perfectly resolved not to be imposed on, to purchase the thing offered so marvellously below its value, and nothing else ; but with what satisfaction can he (or she, for ladies are the principal objects of these tempting lures) pocket the contemptible saving, under a conviction that either the starving artificer must lose a portion of the daily pittance with which a few potatoes are purchased, or some open-hearted customer be subjected to imposition, to bring the balance eve❑ again ?—Perils of the Nation. SOME; OF THE CAUSES OF THE LATE DISTRESS.—[From "the Anti-Corn-Law League and the Country," in Fraser for May.]—Much of this distress is attributable to changes that have taken place in the manufacturing system itself. As improvements in machinery have advanced, the demand for adult labour has decreased, whilst the demand for infant la bour has extended, To such perfection has spinning ma chinery been brought, so much less has it left to be accom plished by the strength and manual dexterity of grown and able-bodied persons, that the labour has devolved almost entirely upon children. The manufacturers no longer require the nerve and grasp of rude hands; all they want is the light and delicate touch of nimble littlefingers. It is no longer, as the younger Pliny has it, Hoc opus mullas ,nanus poscit, but, Hoc opus »dios dwitalos poscit. In all the spinning mills where modern machinery is used, there are now com paratively few adults employed ; indeed, in one of the largest in the manufacturing districts of the north of England where 500 persons were employed, there were not more than a dozen grown persons, if we except overlookers, who have charge of the several rooms ; and in another mill, where there were nearly 900 persons at work, there were not more than twenty adult work-people, the bulk of the " hands" consisting of children between the ages of ten and eighteen. We believe that this state of things pervades the whole manufacturing districts. " Well ; but," we shall he asked, " what becomes of the parents ?'' That question touches a cord which vibrates with a painful keenness through every nerve of the manufac turing system. It darts home to the very core of the moral condition of the factory population, and reveals one great source of that depravity and wretchedness which the orators of the league are to ready to attribute to the corn-laws. " What becomes of the parents ?" For the most part, they subsist on the bounty of their children ! The laws of nature are reversed ! The young child is put in the place of its aged and experienced parent! He who should feed, and instruct, and chasten, is deposed from his authority, and turned into a helpless dependant upon his offspring. The money has changed hands, and with it, robbed of its moral attributes, the (parental) authority. Out of their earnings the children allow their parents a weekly pittance to subsist upon in the event of their not being able to obtain other than factory employment, and there the mutual obligation is fulfilled. The parents resign all authority over the children, and the children provide the means of support, for the parents. But the evil does not stop here. Subject to no control, the children at the age of 15 or 16. in many instances, leave the roof of their parents and seek shelter elsewhere, in order that they may become entirely their own masters and mis tresses. They take lodgings, males and females mixing promiscuously, observe what hours they please, do as they please, and bid defiance to all authority but their own erring and corrupt will. Epter any of the singing rooms or other beer-houses of entertainment and amusement ai Manchester (and there are hundreds of them fitted up in a most costly and attractive style) on a Saturday, Sunday, or Monday night, and there you will find the youthful cotton spinners of both sexes giving the rein to the very lowest and most debasing kind of licentiousness and debauchery. Listen to their language, observe their movements, mark the almost idiotic delight with which they listen to and take part in the most obscene songs and " recitations;" then watch them, sated with their wretched pleasures, crawl home stupthed, listless, and half intoxicated, to a late bed, which they must leave almost the nest hour for the factory ; note down these things, and then say whether the m oral habits and condition of tie younger members of the manufacturing population are not in themselves a sufficient predisposing cause of distress and misery, without setting anything down either to the corn-laws or the vicissitudes of trade. Can it be difficult, with such facts as these before us, to conceive a tenfold ag gravation of distress when trade languishes and labour and wages are curtailed ? Rail upon the " bread-taxers," indeed ! better cleanse out their Augean stable before they quarrel with the quantity or quality of the corn in their cratch !" MARSH V. WOOLLEY Lord Chief Justice TINDAL delivered the judgment of the court in this case, which was a rule obtained in the course of the present term, calling upon the sheriff of Montgomery shire to show cause why the defendant should not be dis charged out of his custody, and also calling upon the plain tiff to show cause why he or the sheriff should not pay the costs of the application. The defendant was taken in execu tion by the sheriff under a writ of ca. se. issued at the suit of the plaintiff in the action, and it appeared, upon the affidavit of Mr. John Radcliffe, of Liverpool, the defendant's agent, that, at the time of the arrest, a protection had been granted to the defendant, by Mr. Phillips, one of the Bankruptcy Commiss!oners for the Liverpool district, under the provi sions of the first section of the late Act for the relief of In solvent Debtors, the sth and 6th of Victoria, c. 116. Upon the argument four questions were raised for the decision of the court ; first, whether the order of protection was good without showing the authority of the commissioner to make such an order; secondly, whether the affidavit disclosed sufficient jurisdiction ; thirdly, whether the defendant ought to be discharged out of custody ; and lastly, upon what terms he ought to be discharged. The court found, upon exami ning the order, that it contained no statement that the de fendant was not a trader, or that being a trader he owed debts amounting to less than £3OO, or that he had given the requisite notices, or had resided twelve calendar months within the Liverpool district. The order merely recited, that the defendant had presented a petition to the Court of Bankruptcy. for protection, without any finding that the statements in the petition were true; and it then proceeded to grant a protection to the defendant from all process against his person or property, under the terms of the act of parlia ment. By the 13th section of the statute, however, the judges and commissioners of the Court of Bankruptcy, or anv four of them, were empowered to make such orders, ru les, and regulations as they thought fit, for the purpose of carrying the act into execution, and it appeared that certain rules and orders were made by the judge and commissioners of the Court of Bankruptcy, and approved of by the Lord Ch a ncellor, in one of which was found the form of an order corres ponding in every respect, with that given in the pre sent case. The question, therefore, resolved itself into this, whether the words of the 13th section conferred on the judges of the Court of Bankruptcy the power to make such an order, and the court were of opinion that the words used were large en ough for that purpose. The next question was, whether t h e defendant was to be required to prove by affidavit the ju risdiction o f the commissioner ; and they were of opinion that if the court should call upon him to do so, they could not refuse to hear affidavits on the other side, and thus they wou ld anticipate the examination before the commissioner, w hi c h would be obviously inconvenient. As, therefore, the defendant was entitled to his discharge, it only remained to ay on what t erms the rule should be made absolute. It Would be manifestly unjust to make the sheriff pay the costs, because he could not know the terms of the protection, and he would have been liable to an action for escape if he had let the defendant go, .and it appeared, ultimately, that the sheriff had no jurisdiction. The plaintiff also seemed to have been ignorant, at the time of the arrest, that any order of protection h ad been given to the defendant; and, indeed, it did not app ear that any protection had reached the defendant at that time. They were, therefore, of opinion that the rule for the discharge of the defendant out of custody should be made absolute, but without costs. caunn 's PATENT.—Li the Vice-Chancellor's Court, on the greater part of the day was occupied in hearing argu ments of counsel in this case, which was an applica tion nntdYoatiie court, made upon notice on behalf of the plaintiffs, the Messrs. Chubb, of St. Paul's-church-yard, the inventors, makers, and proprietors of the celebrated patent locks known by that name, and also of the patent iron doors, safes, fire proof chests, boxes, &c., for an injunction to restrain the de fendant, Priest, who is a furniture and general broker, carry ing on business in NS , atenotreet, I3lackfriars, from selling, or i n an y manner disposing of ? or dealing in, any iron doors, sa fes, chests, or boxes, which have been, or shall be, made o r manufactured by or for the defendant, in imitation of, or by the name and description of, the iron doors, safes, chests, and boxes made by the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs alleged by their bill, supported by their own and the affidavits of severa'l persons, that the defendant was exposing and had ex;icsed on his premises for sale, and was selling iron doors, safes, chests, and fire-proof boxes, all of which were spurious ar ticles of manufacture, not made or manufactured by the plain tiffs, but which the defendant endeavoured, by placards, la bels, and tickets posted on his premises, to represent to the public as articles the make and manufacture of the plaintiffs ; and these articles he disposed of, under such representations, at one-half the price charged by the plaintiffs. The defendant, together with several other persons, made affidavits on his behalf, denying that the defendant 'had ever represented the articles exposed by him for sale, or which he had sold, as being articles made or manufactured by the plaintiffs. Mr. Bethell and Mr. Bacon supported the plaintiffs' case; Mr. Wakefield and Mr. Glass appeared for the defendant. The Vice-Chancellor, without waiting to hear Mr. Bethell's reply for the plaintiffs, said he was of opinion that, upon a review f the whole of the evidence in the case, the balance of th he thought testimony was in favour of the plaintiffs cas( sufficient had been stated to warrant the court in ;ranting the injunction. Injunction granted in the terms above stated. The proctors' charges in Wood of Gloucester's will amounted to £17,536 3s. 2d., divided between three proctors. INNEn. TEMPLE.—The following gentlemen were called to the bar by this Society on the sth of May inst.:—Benjamin Wyatt Greenfield, John Hampden King, Hugh Weightman, pbilip Lybbe Powys, Frederick Lowten Spinks, John Whorl Mills, Henry Staintou Laycock, and Corbet Hue. A DECENT FORTUNE.—We are assured, upon what we cons id e r good authority, that the head of the Arkwright family, who has just departed this life in his 86th year, has left behind him a fortune quite unparalleled in the annals of ancient or modern accumulation. To each of his five sons he gives a million and a half, besides £40,000 a year in land, which goes to the eldest son ; and to each of his fifty-one grandchildren and great-grandchildren £14,000 , ma ki ng £700,000 more for this single item. We take it f or gran t e d that the daughters, one of whom is the lady of the Vice- Chancellor Sir James gram, are not left wholly unprovided for.— Weekly Chronicle. MISCELLANEOUS.

DANGEROUS LUNATIO..—About a week since, a fine young girl. about nine years old, named Ross, was going to school at Ballymacateer, about half a mile from Lurgan, when she was pursued by a mischievous idiot, named M'Crory, and so affrighted was the poor child that, on arriving at the school, she sank exhausted on a form, where she soon fell asleep. On arriving at home she was put to bed, from which she never rose, having died in four or five days afterwards. A WIDOW'S LAST TEAR.—There was a buxom widow in Exeter, whose husband died a few weeks since; she followed him to the grave as a widow should, and on turning to depart her handkerchief fell into it, and settled on the coffin. Some anxious friends who mourned with her instantly soffered to rescue it from the grave. " Let it alone !" s he said, ex claiming—" I've done with tears now !" Not many days elapsed before that widow was rewived, and then the honest gossips of the neighbourhood remembered the token of the last tear.—West of England Conservative. Al'ounn OLD WOMAN.—In Oultsmoral, Clyne, Suther landshire, there lives an old woman, born in 1722, who is still able to take care of herself, and can even knit stockings yet. She was married in 1760, and has been a widow 51 years; has had a large family, and has seen her great grandchildren. She was very stout and tall—five feet nine inches, but now she is much bent. She has still a capital memory. There were not many men in the parish that could match her for strength. She never felt the least symptoms of sickness— never was in the hands of the doctors. Her name is Ann Sutherland, alias M'Aie, and she is a native of the High lands.— Caledonian Mercury. THE BANS FORBID !—An unusual circumstance occurred. in Kingstone Church, in this country, on Sunday last, dur ing divine service. The clergyman published the names of James Morgan and Jane Morgan as persons about to enter the estate of matrimony, when up started a young girl of the name of Emma Cooke, and exclaimed, " I forbid the bans!" The congregation were struck with astonishment, and were of course in the dark as to the reason of such a proceeding. It has since transpired that Mr. James Morgan had paid his addresses to Miss Emma Cooke, and continued them up to the month of May, on the first of which he forsook his first love, and obtained the consent of another to become his bride. Whether this is a valid ground of objection against the publication of the bans, or a case for the lawyers in the shape of a breach of promise of marriage, is a point which we do dot pretend to decide.—Hereford Jourual. DREADFUL THUNDER-STORM AT RAPHOE.—AhOUt tWO o'clock, p.m., on Monday, a continued noise of thuneer from the north-east gave notice of an approaching storm, and, until half-past two, the rain descended in torrents. About three o'clock the inhabitants were horriffed by a fearful peal, accompanied by most vivid lightning. After the dismay had subtided, it was found that the steeple of the cathedral was very much damaged. Its massive walls (nearly sixty feet thick) have been, on the north-east side, fairly split open. The cathedral windows, on the same side, are altogether broken in. It appears that some of the electric matter passed through the church, as, in many parts of the aisles, pieces of flagging are broken up. Windows have been broken in many of the houses in the town. A cabin has been thrown down ; and the house inhabited by Captain Crawley, of the police, is so much injured, that it is no longer safe to live in. No lives have been lost, though several persons were pros trated to the ground by the violence of the shock.—. Derry Standard. MACKAY THE MURDERER.—We understand that there is little alteration in this unfortunate criminal since receiving sentence of death, He sleeps well, and his appetite is by no means affected. He is daily visited by the prison chaplains, and listens attentively to their instructions. Indeed so ear. nestly has he devoted himself to preparing for the great change that awaits him, that although a very illiterate person when first taken into custody, he can now read, and has corn mated to memory a number of psalms and hymns. He has been visited by some relations of his murdered wife, but the interviews have not affected him to any extent, nor has his general health suffered in the slightest degree from his for lorn and wretched condition. As a precaution, a prison at tendant spends the night in the little apartment adjoining, and looking into, the condemned cell. Mr. A. Young, agent for the prisoner, very properly transmitted to the care of Sir James Graham, on Monday last, a petition addressed to Her Majesty, praying a commutation of the sentence—the result of which cannot yet be known. If nothing takes place, however, to interrupt the sentence of the court, Mackay will suffer the last penalty of of the law on Thurs day, the 18th inst.—Glasgow Chronicle. SINGULAR ACCIDENT. —On Monday afternoon last an accident of a singular nature occurred on the premises of Messrs. John and Samuel Barrett, millers, Todd-street, under the following circumstances :—During the whole of the day a man named William Entwistle, together with another man, had been assisting to unload some sacks of meal from carts by means of a teagle. Each set of carts having been unloaded, the meal was discharged out of the sacks through a hole i n th e room, about 18 inc h es square , into a large bin underneath. Having been so engaged for some time, Tomlinson, the man workinr , along with deceased, heard a noise as of the truck falling,'and on going to the spot he perceived that th e deceased had fallen headlong .through the hole, and had sunk about a yard deep into the meal, with his feet uppermost. With the assistance of sours fellow workmen he was extricated, after having been in the bin about three minutes. Medical aid was called in, and all was done that could be to restore him ; but he died in about twenty minutes, having been smothered with the meal, part of which he had inhaled. An inquest was held on the body on Tuesday, at the Dog and Partridge Inn, before Mr. Chap. man, borough coroner, and a verdict of accidental death was returned, accompanied with a request from the jury that the coroner would write to Measrs. Barrett to have the hole closed in future during the interval between the emptying and unloading the sacks.—Maucbetter Guardian. kttppfnq fittelligente. FRIDAY, MAY 12.—Wind South, light.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 13 Prices have remained steady during the week, with some ten dency to advance: this, however, has been checked by a favourable change in the weather; the cold winds which have prevailed for sometime having been succeeded by a warmer temperature and occasional showers. The business done since our last has been confined to a fair sale of each article for consumption. At Wake field and Liverpool, yesterday, the trade was firm, with a steady, though not extensive, inquiry. Our market this day is of much the same character. Wheat and Flour move off gradually at prices rather better than those of last Saturday, for particular qualities : stocks of the former con tinue to diminish, and for the latter we are pretty much depend ant upon the weekly supply, which is small. Oats, upon a slow demand, fully support former rates, as also do superior qualities of Oatmeal. Malt is firmly held for an advance of is per load, and Beans is per quarter. but this checks sales. Pease, and all the lower descriptions of feeding stuff, are exceedingly dull of sale. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, MAY 12. Sugar.—There continues a good demand for all descriptions, and the sales amount to 70.. hhds. B. P. 3300 bags Mauritius and 3200 bags Bengal, at very full prices. Foreign.-85 cases and 350 bags ordinary to good brown Pernams have been taken for export, at an advance of 18s 6d 1, er cwt. Molasses.—There has bee more dis position to buy this week, and advanced rates have been paid ; the sales consist of 220 puns., viz. 70 puns. Antigua, from the quay, at 30s, and 140 pions. Demerara, at 24s 6d for ordinary old, to 27s 6d per cwt. for fine new quality. Coffee.—The market still continues dull at a public sale of VO casks of Jamaica. of the new crop, there was little disposition evinced by the Trade to purchase, except at a considerable reduction on previous rates ; the holders, however, being unwilling to accede, nearly the whole was withdrawn ; but subsequently several lots of good to fine middling have been disposed of at tolerably firm prices the sales comprise 100 casks of Jamaica, 70 brls. very ordinary unclean Demerara at 30s, and 20 brls. fine ordinary La Guayra at 48s per cwt. Nothing done in Cocoa, Pimento or Pepper ; but 400 bags Bengal Ginger sold at 13s per cwt. Rice.-50 tces. of dressed Carolina were sold at 21s to 245, 65 tees. American (in bond) at 15s, and 1500 bags Bengal at 105 to 105 6d, per cwt. Rum.—The sales are 130 puns., chiefly fine Demerara, 30 to 38 per cent. 0. P.. at 2s 10d to 3s sd, and a few casks East India at Is 3d per gallon proof. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 12 A fair extent of business has been done in Cotton to-day. About 5,000 bales sold, some of them to speculators, at prices similar to those of the last few days. The sales of the week reach exactly 49,000 bales. Of this quantity the trade have only taken 16,400, much below their weekly consumption, leaving 31,700 for speculators and 900 for export. The market closes quietly. Many parties have ceased their operations till the arrival of the Boston steamer, expected to-morrow, with much later accounts of the state of the weather for the coming crop. Prices generally * to 1 up Wince 'the lowest point last week. COTTON MARKET, MAY 15 On Saturday there was a large business done in Cotton, princi pally by speculators, previous to the arrival of the Boston mail. 15000 was bought in this way, and 3000 by the trade, making a total of gOOO, at full market prices. To-day the demand has been very moderate, and speculation has entirely disappeared, owing to the accounts from the 'States being void cf anything of an exciting nature. The receipts of the present crop had reached 2,000,000 bales, though the prospects of the coming crop were not of the most favourable kind, vet from the immense supplies this season, it is anticipated there will be no lack. On the whole there is less Cotton offering to day, and the feeling in the market is decidedly firmer and healthier than it was at the close of last week. 4000 bales sold all to the consumers. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT. There has again been an extensive demand, particularly from Speculators, who have purchased largely : during the last two days, however, there has been less animation, but prices clone at an advance of id per lb on the common and middling qualities of American; in other descriptions there is no change to notice. Speculators have taken 31,700 American, and Exporters 700 American and 200 Surat. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the sth to the 11th May, inclusive.

With the exception of a few parcels of Oats and Oatmeal, from Ireland, we have scarcely any fresh supplies to notice, either thence or coastwise, since Tuesday; an d t h e on l y foreign import is 551 qrs. Wheat from Valparaiso, accounted for in some degree by the prevalence of easterly winds. No observable change has taken place in the value of any article within the past two days ; during which the trade has continued perfectly steady in all respects, and we have had a moderate business going forward, but no spirited or gene ral demand. Very few local or country millers appearing at our Corn Exchange to-day, the operations in Wheat were inconsider able; but the holders remaining firm, and anticipating an improved demand to meet the decreasing stocks in the gran aries of this port, all descriptions of this grain maintained the full rates of Tuesday, and, in particular cases, a small ad vance was required, but not decidedly realized. Prime marks of English and Irish Flour were in request at an amendment of Is. per sack ; and States as well as Canadian were the turn dearer. Barley, of which several parcels were taken for grinding is now held on rather higher terms; and Malt steadily com manded our last quotations. Beans, having become less plentiful, and being somewhat more saleable, supported late prices. Pease remained uu varied. Oats, upon a very limited supply fresh in, and few left over from previous arrivals, maintained our last currency ; and Oatmeal, with a tolerable demand from speculative buy ers and consumers, remained steady in value.
