Voctrp. THE DYING CHRISTIAN. (For the Standard.) Death's icy hand is on my heart, The world is growing dun-- My spirit now tuust noon depart And be returned to Him! Memory's page is letter'd o'er With all that time is worth; But black and foul each word now seems, That calls me back to earth. I know I do not hope in vain— To me is given grace, To trust that God will take my soul To his bright resting place! Death's darkness past, and I shall be High i❑ the I:ealnis And God's eternal love!

" Earth to earth, and dust to dust"— Here the evil and the just, Here the youthful and the old, Here the fearful awl the bold, Here the matron and the maid In one silent toolli are laid— • Here the Yasgal and the king, Side by side, lie witherinv ; Here the sword and sceptre rust— " Earth to earth, and dust to dust'." Age on age shall roil along O'er this pale and mighEy-throng; Those that wept them, those that weep, All shall with those sieepers sleep, Brothers, sisters of the worm. Summer's sun and winter's storm, Song of peace or hatiie'sroar Ne'er shall break their slumbers more; Death shall keep his silent trus!, " Earth to earth, and dust to dust." Bat a day is coming , fast Earth, thy mitzhtiest and thy last; It shall come in fear and wonder, Heralded by trurno and thunder; It shall come in strife and toil, It shall come in blood and spoil, It shall come in empires' groans, 'lumina temples, trampled thrones; Then, ambition, rue thy last! " Eat tls to earth, and dust to dust." Then shall come the judg,ment sign; In the east the king shall shine, Flashing from heaven's golden gate. Thousands, thousands, round his state — Spirits with the crown and plume: Tremble, then, thou sullen tomb, Heaven shall Open o❑ our sight, Earth he burn'd to living light, Kingdoms of the ransomed just— •` Earth to earth, and dust to dust." Then shall, gorgeous as a gem, Shine thy mount, Jerusalem; Then shall in the desert rise Fruits of more than paradise; Earth by angel feet be trod, One great garien of her God, Till are d ried the martyr's tears Through a glorious thousand years; Now in hope of him we trust, " Earth to earth, and dust to dust." CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE GREAT RADICAL "DEMONSTRATION." ( From the Morning Herald.) The " great meeting," convened yesterday, in Pa lace-yard, by the " Working Men's Association," proved a ludicrous failure. Infinite was the trouble taken to secure the attendance of large numbers. The meeting had been carefully advertised, for weeks past, in all parts of the kingdom. Deputations from every quarter had been solicited to attend. The meeting it self possessed a perfectly legal character, from the fact of its being presided over by the high baihfrof West minster. Other circumstances favoured the plans of the projectors of the meeting. The day selected was. a holyday. The spot chosen was, perhaps, the most eligible in the metropolis. Yet, despite these aids and appliances, the meeting was contemptible in point of numbers. Not more than 6,000 persons were, at any time, present :—nay, it may be doubted whether the number of 3,000 be not much nearer the mark. The vanity of the getters up of the meeting has not ventured to state the numbers higher than J 5,000; yet even if the meeting had comprehended fifteen thousand persons, would not such a number—wlien the objects announced,.the locality, the time, and the circumstances of the meeting are taken into account- - have involved utter failure? The Birmingham meet ing for the same objects is stated to have been attend ed by one hundred thousand persons. Whatever may be thought of the principles embo died in the "national petition"—of this fact there can now exist not the slightest doubt--that the " Work ing Men's Association" of London possesses not the smallest portion of - influence over the working men of the metropolis. If that "Associations' did, in truth, represent the feelings, and enjoy the confidence of the mechanics and artisans of London, the leaders of the association would be able, at any time, to bring to gether two or three hundred thousand men. Mr. Att wood, for instance—we say nothing, for the moment, as to the soundness of his views—does possess the confidence of the operatives of Birmingham ; and the consequence is seen in the crowded meetings which he can always command. But the leaders of the "Working Men's Association" of London are mere tools of Leader, and Wilesworth, and Warburton, and the rest of that party ;—nor are they unwilling, when occasion serves, to toa dy Mr. O'Connell. So lately as November last, they gave that worthy personage a public dinner—although, at that very time, Mr. O'Con nell would scarcely have ventured to attend a public meeting (not packed) of working men, in any part of England. The speeches yesterday were in the usual strain, and of the average quality. Mr. Ebenezer Elliot would, however, appear to have uttered a greater num ber of sillinesses than any of his competitors for ora torical distinction. THE FOREIGN POLICY OF FRANCE. ( From the Times.) The iniquity of the foreign policy of France, which has so suddenly burst forth within a few months, as sumes on every side so fearful and identical a charac ter, that our columns h trdly suffice to enumerate the variety of her designs or of the means she has recourse to in their execution. Scarcely is our attention rivetted on her transatlan tic projects, when the revelations at the Court-martial in the citadel of Perpignan expose a series of tran sactions calculated to affix a stain on the military ho nour of France in Africa as deep as that which dis- - graces her diplomacy in Europe and America. Here not only the corruption of the system and the rapacity of the individuals filling the very highest sta tion are questions of deep and melancholy interest as affecting the character of Europe, and of civilization in Africa; but the revelation of such characters leads ns necessarily to reflect on the spirit of the French army and government, and overwhelms the mind with the contemplation of principles, motives, and incent ives common to the higher offices of the state, to the court, the military, and the diplomatic departments of the government, well calculated to recall to our minds the events of 1792, 1803, and 1815. Now, indeed, there is no Napoleon, but,, alas! there is no Austria, there is no Spain, there is no Prnssia,there is no Eng land. There is but Russia ready to repeat the offer of European partition of 1807, and there is France ready to grant to Russia that bone of contention which led to the rupture of the conference at Erfurt and to the hostility of Alexander and Napoleon. But to return to the trial of General Brossard. The most important question connected with this trial, in an international point of view, is the allusion to secret articles in the convention of the Tafna, the existence of which, although denied by General Bugeaud, is rendered more than probable by inciden tal circumstances connected with the treaty, and bear ing on the general policy of France, whose sovereignty is recognised by the first article of the convention in " Africa." The expression, " The Emir acknowledges the so vereignty of France in Africa," proves the inequality of the contracting parties, and that France merely in tended to establish a vassal recognising her own suzerainele. and subject to her c;:ntrol, and considering that France in the ostensible articles of that treaty excluded British commerce from the ports to which she then for the first time acquired even a nominal title, and that the Emir engaged to direct the commerce of the interior to no other ports, the several articles as well as the ostensible treaty itself must have been framed with a view of binding the Emir against the interests of England. It is impossible otherwise to account either for the neglect by ABD-EL•KADER of the diplomatic advantages of his position, and his ab s taining to form di rect relations with England, whilst maintaining an envoy at Paris, or for his not remain ing neutral in the affairs of Africa, instead of attack ing the Bey of Constantine. But it is with reference tO the - inter icr of Africa that this treaty derives its chief importance, by establish ing in the populous, wealthy, but untu t ore d tr ib es o f the desert, the belief of the European ascendancy of France, and the extinction of the name and influence of the Ottoman Emperor. The present attitude of France - in Africa is, in fact, the disguised revival of the projects of Napoleon, steadily pursued during the last twelve years by every successive administration. The formation, by French officers, of the Egyptian marine in 1826 and 1827, which, by the sagacious manoeuvres of Admiral Codrington, Admiral de Rigny himself was compelled to destroy in the battle of Na• raring—the intimacy so shortly afterwards renewer and proved by the project, in 1830, of attacking Al giers by an Egyptian army, which would have simn taneously overthrown the regencies of Tripoli a, Tunis, show the intimate union between Meheare , Ali and Fiance against both the interests and the treaties of England and of Turkey, and the ulterior designs of Russia, of which they are both rendered the subservient instruments against our Indian pos- sessions. The following extract of an official work, published at Paris in 1802, will serve to explain the extent o, the positions: and dominion -so long aimed at by the • . Cabinet of the Tuileries, for the establishment of French sovereignty over the African continent : "I shall not dwell heri upon the facilities which we shall have of communicating from Podhor and Gulam, with Mo rocco, A!giers, Tunis, 'rripoli, and Cairo; with Timbuctoo, the country of Eloussa, Tocrrur, Kassina, and from the latter town by A gades, with Bunton, Sennaar, and Abyssinia; but I shall remark, that the result of the travels of Brown in Darfour is, that this internalcountry habitually communicates • with the kingdom of Darkulla, situated in the centre of Africa, between the ith and 6th degrees of North latitude, nearly at an equal distance from Cape Verd and Cape Guar dafui ; that these two capes from the extremities of the great est diameter in width of the African continent; that the high masses of the Mountains of the Moon cannot be far from Darkulla; that the sources of the Great Galbar must be very near the central region; that it is near the origin of this ~ r eat western branch which, springing from the mass of the 111,,uutains of the Moon, reaches the Atlantic between Cape Vergas and Cape Palmas, under the name of the Mountains of Kong; that one might try to arrive at Darkulla, on the one. - side by the Galhar;"atitt on the other by thecotinfry-iirMan din,y. by Teembon, by Kong, by Kassaha, by Kottokoli, by Malel, 'because this conimunica'ion is practised, and because Maki is only separated from Darkulla by an interval of '2.50 leagues." DUELLING. (From the Morning Herald.) They who lecture others should be capable of taking a lecture with good grace themselves. In saving this, we only lay down a rule which we are prepared to follow. We gave a lecture the other day on the subject of duelling, and we have been since lectured for so doing. This is all fair enough. Duelling is said to result from difference of opinion, and there will be difference of opinion about duelling. Our con temporary has as much right to his opinion on the subject as we have to ours, provided he can support it by fair rea soning. We think he does not, and we will state why we think so. Before we go further, it may not be unnecessary to observe that we leave the question of style in writing, to the public taste. Whether ours be solemn and pedantic, or that of our chivalrous contemporary be pragmatically pert and flippantly dictatorial, is a question wholly beside the merits of the case which is the subject of controversy. Our style, whether good or had, is one which, having found some favour with the pub lic, we are by no means disposed to exchange for that of which he gives the select few who can appreciate the nicer beauties of fashionable diction so choice au example. Now, as to the argument. We had ventured—and proba bly rash and profane was the attempt-to disprove the cor rectness of the position, we will not say, "solemnly" and "pedantically," but certainly with an air of oracular wis dom laid down by our contemporary, that " duelling is an unfOrtunate necessity of civilisation"—a more unfortunate defence of duelling we never heard—a more pernicious fallacy could not be circulated as a philosophical truth. And surely if the Morning Post had a right to disseminate the moral poison of such a doctrine through society, the Morn ing Herald had as clear a right to endeavour to supply an an tidote. But it seems "we usurp the office of the clergy" in appealing to morality and religion ainst the practice of fashionable homicide. We ask whose office do they usurp who inculcate in newspapers the necessity of such a practice ? We would rather be chargeable with usurping the office of Christian instructors, than of those whose doctrines tend to make Christianity appear a fable and its morality a lie. Christianity itself would be a fiction if it were not untrue that duelling is "a necessity of civilisation," for the most efficient power that ever. was employed to civilise mankind is that Gospel whose moral sentiments our fashionable con temporary would merely allow to occupy " the pulpit," leaving " the world" to the ethics of a code as opposed to the instruction of the pulpit as moral darkness is to moral illumination. If the words " unfortunate necessity of civilisation" had hastily slipped from the pen of our contemporary, he would have taken the opportunity of retracting or ilualifying, them upon his attention being recalled to the subject. But as he has chosen to repeat those words, and, of course, re inculcating the mischievous morality which they convey, we must proceed'to vindicate the opinion which we advanced, in opposition to that maxim, in a very different spirit from one of cavilling criticism, or disingenuous controversy. We say, then, that if duelling be " necessity of civilisa tion," no civilisation ever did, can, or will exist without it.' There was pagan civilisation in the world at one time, and there is christian civilisation now. We deny that it was necessary to pagan . civilisation, and we deny that it is neces sary to christian We proved the first position by the best examples we could adduce—the examples of re fined and polite states of classic antiquity. We thought it unnecessary to prove the other position by any than a general reference to the law of christianity—which law is part and parcel of the law of England. If it he a necessity of civilisa tion only exists among us because sets at defiance laws human and divine. We have not yet, in this age of conceited utilitarian ig ignorance, learned to despise the instructions of that " old almanack,', which some call " history," nor shall the dread of being called "pedantic'' prevent us at any time from re sorting for practical illustrations of moral or social truths to that philosophy which " teaches by example." If we could have found any examples as goOd as those supplied by the histories of Greece and Rome to illustrate and confirm the position that-duelling is not a necessity of civilisation, we would have used them; but, preferring the best evidence we could get to any of an inferior degree. and choosing not to limit ourselves to a priori reasoning where we could have the arguments of experience, we appealed to the glorious states of the classic ages, not only for the possibility hut the proof of civilisntion without duelling—civilisation under which the the manly virtues flourished to their highest perfection — civilisation rich in the trophies of mind and courage, laden with the spoils of arts and arms, and displaying the polished graces of life with the highest magnanimity of character. - But, says the Morning Post, " the civilisation of the Greeks was by no means the same thing as the civilisation of the British." Well then, this is, at all events, an im implied admission that "duelling is. not a necessity of civili stolen." Our contemporary may be a very ingenious ; but he will find it difficult to rrnva that a thing is by showing that it is not. The whole gist of' the argument con sists in this one point—whether duelling be necessary to civi lisation or not? Our contemporary asserts that it is, and undertakes to prove it. But part of his case is that it was not necessary to civilisation among the Greeks. Very well. Civilisation. and that too of a very high order, can exist without duelling. Nay more, it has existed without it. Why not exist without that practice again ? It is because the ci vilisation of the Greeks was a pagan civilisation that it could exist without the absurd and blood-stained practice of duel ling? Is it because ours is a christian civilisation that it is under the unfortunate and fatal necessity of inseparable con nection with that silly and homicidal custom? But, upon his own admission, our contemporary. must now qualify his words, and, instead of asserting that duelling is a necessity of civilisation, he must say it is a necessity only of one sort of civilisation though not of another. It is a necessity of the civilisation of Christian communities, for the pagan civilisers of the world knew nothing of it. This is the absurdity to which the position of the Marning Post is legitimately re ducible, and which is only to be got rid of by admitting that duelling is not a necessity of civilisation at all. If, indeed, the barbarous custom which is incidental merely to the present state of society were a necessity of our social condition, there would be no use in arguing about it. How ever great and grievous the evil might be. it must, in that case, be patiently borne with, simply because it could not be remedied. Vain would be the reasoning of the moralist— vain the remonstrances of public opinion—vain the penalties of any human law to abate the nuisance; and no less vain *Mild be the denunciations of the pulpit. It would be utterly useless to direct the thunders of another world aeainst the greatest roily that disgraces this, if the homicidal custom of Wimbledon-heath or Chalk Farm controlled civilisation by a fatal necessity. But, says our contemporary, by way of showing. we sup pose, that he can write about the affairs of the world in the tone of true "lashon," "The refinement of our society is derived chiefly from the practice of chivalry, and hence the sentiment of society prevailing to this day, that personal honour must he vindicated by personal combat, or rather by that resemblance of it, to which duelling among gentle men has now been brought, and which is rather a mutual in curring of personal danger than of coinhat." Oh, chivalry ! "the unbotieht grace of life—the cheap defence of nations —the nurse of manly sentiment anti heroic enterprise," how art thou defamed ! Oh, glories of Ashby de la Zouch anti of the Field of the Cloth of Gobi! how are ye linked in degrad ing connection with the blood-stained vice, whose "heroes" and whose victims are chiefly supplied by the gambling-house and the salon of vulgar debuchery ! We have it on the authority of our pragmatical contempo rary that there is no pedantry in restoring to the " ages of chivalry" for a defence of duelling, although it is quite " pe dantic" to have recourse to the classic ages for arguments and examples against it. Chivalry might have been a cor rective of the legitimised nr, at least, customary system of violence which characterised the feudal system under which chivalry rose and flourished; but the feudal system was not "civilisation," and the argument only goes to show that the "personal combat, which might have been a necessity of a semiliarbarous condition of mankind, is itself but a relic of semi-barbarism in a state of civilised society. But duelling is the "last resort of a man of.honour." Is it so? 'What sort of vindication can that be of a man of ho nour, which confounds the honourable man with the greatest knaves that disgrace society? Is a man of honour injured or insulted by another honourable man ?—the epithet " ho nourable" must be misapplied unless the party who is the aggressor, upon.heing convinced that he had dune injustice, affords reparation without other inducement than his own right feeling and good sense. If the man of honour be in jured or insulted by a knave, does he vindicate his character or prove his folly by inviting the knave to discharge a loaded pistol or two at 'kiln, and thus add the crime of murder to an act of unatened injustice? The knave is more likely than the honourable man to have trained his hand to deeds of blood by the practice of the shooting gallery; and what con solation is it to the honourable man, alien mortally wounded by the pistol of a practised ruffian, to learn that some " fash ionable" vindicator of the custom of duelling will have it in scribed upon his tomb, bedewed, perhaps, by the tears of a widow anti orphans, "lie died a martyr to the necessities of civilisation.". We say again, and we think even our opponent has shown that civilisation demands no such sacrifices. Duelling is no inore a necessity of civilisation than the gambling-house, or the " fashiounble" den of nightly revelry, where must of the work of honourable assassination is cut out, for toe "chi valry" of the present enlightened age. Chivalry, indeed ! What chivalrous sentiment is his who, having endeavoured to destroy the domestic happiness of another for ever, offers satisfaction" by going, pistol in hand, to aim at the heart of the injured person? Yet such is the character of a great proportion of those "chivalrous feats" of the nineteenth cen tur ! What chivalrous sentiment is theirs who abandon the bleeding body of the lifeless victim the moment the ho micidal operation is completed, leaving it to he dragged along the ground, like some inferior animal just butchered, into the open vehicle which is to transport it through the pub lic streets to the late home of the slaughtered combatant, who, whether he be statesman or merchant-tailor, lord or linen-draper, is to be considered as a fallen child of "chi valry," dying in the cause of the refinement of civilisation. The law, which affords redress for all substantial injuries, both of action and word, has declared that he, who, whatever may be the provocation, kills another by the deliberate pro cess of duelling, is a murderer, and ought to be hanged bY the neck until his Cody be dead. Is it to be tolerated that the very class of men who make and declare the laws, and who have thus pronounced the last ignominious doom of felony against the homicide who kills his antagonist in a duel, shall violate their own laws with impunity, while they cry oat for the in exorable execution of the law of death upon all other murder ers? Shall the bloodstained hand of him who has pierced the heart of one whom he had deeply injured be shaken by honourable men, who turn with aversion and loathing from the vulgar murderer who may have something of provoca tion to plead for his deed of blood ? Can a felon's deed be chivalry? Can a felon's fame be honour? Let the affirma tive of these questions be pioved, and we shall say 'to the suc cessful hero of Wimbledon or Chalk Farm, proceed in the great work of civilising society by deeds of honourable assas sination—do that " And tread upon the Greek and Ronian glory." nd OWLIIIIIIIIMMI CoLNE.—We do not know of any district where hand-loom weavers have suffered so much ; yet we are ham to state that trade is now very brisk; and although wages are very iow indeed, yet the weavers wages, for some softy of goods, have been advanced nearly 20 per cent during the last six weeks.

The hand-loom weavers at present, when fully employed, cannot average more than from ss. to 6s. per week.—Manchester Guardian. A YORKSHIREMAN BITTEN. A smart and respectably dressed man, apparently about 25 ) ears of age, calling himself John Eddlestone. was brought up at the New Bailey, Salford, on Saturday last, to answer a complaint preferred by Ir. Thos. Cockin, a staid-looking manufacturer at Dalton, near Huddersfield, who, from his age and seeming experience in the world, as well as from the quarter in which he resides, ought to have been a match for any sharper in England, but who had been "doue'7 in the most exemplary manner, and by one of the commonest tricks ever practised by sharpers. The complainant stated, that on the 'Thursday previous he was in Manchester on business, and, having finished it, he took his place at the coach-office to return home at one o'clock. It was then about twelve, and having nothing to do, he thought be would go and see the College. An "old-gentleman" followed him down the street, knocked some dust off his coat, and, accost ing him, said he was a decent-looking old farmer. Phew then entered into conversation, and the "old gentleman" said he had come to Manchester with a returned bill for between - 1:100 and..E2oo. They walked on together till they got into the Old Churchyard, and they then 'went into a public-house, awl the " old gentleman" called for two glasses of ale, and threw down a sovereign to pay for it, requesting witness to take the change while he went out for a minute or two. Soon afterwards, the prisoner, who was a stranger to witness, and appeared to be a stranger to the •• old gen tleman" also, came into the room, and called for a glass of gin, and said he had not been long in a condition to pay for a glass, as he had been a parish apprentice, and was to ashamed to tell it; that his family had had some propert? which belonged to him, but they would not le t him have it because an old woman said he was not born in wedlock; but he hail met with an attorney who had agreed to get him it for £lOO, and they had been in London and got £1,300 out of the funds, and lie was now worth £6OO a-year. The "old gentleman" advised him to be careful of his money, and he then pulled out his pocket-book, showed some bank notes, and said his attorney' had advised him to keep respectable company; and he thought the company he had got in was respectable. After a little conversation, the prisoner offered, to bet the "old gentleman" and witness a wager of £lO that they could not produce £lOO by the next day. The " old gentleman" said, his was all a risk, as he haelcome about a returned bill, and could not get the money from ally other quarter. • Witness objected to have any thing to do with the bet at first, but the " old gentleman" persuaded him to it, and, as he had not sufficient money for the wager about him, aereed to advance £5, if he would fetch the money from Huddersfield by the next day. This was agreed to, and witness went to Huddersfield in the afternoon, and returned on Friday morning with twenty £5 notes. The " old gen tleman" met him at the coach-office, and, as they were a little too soon, witness went into a public-house to wait while he went to get his bill taken up; he soon came back,. and told witness that his friend had disappointed him, and he had only get £5O; they then set oil' to go to the public-house to meet the prisoner, but they met him on the road, and they all then went and looked round the College, and from thence to the Zoological Gardens. They then returned, and dined at the Corn Exchange Inn, and the prisoner ordered a bottle of wine; but witness would only take water. After dinner the "old gentleman" again advised the prisoner to be care ful of his money, and the prisoner then took a quantity of notes from his pocket-book, and wrapped them up in brown paper, and gave them to witness to put in his fob, which he did; the prisoner then got the "old gentleman's" money, and wrapped it ttp, and put it into his fob in the same man ner; he then asked witness for his money, and he gave him the twenty. £5 notes, which he also wrapped up in brown paper, and, as witness thought, put into his fob. They then left the Corn Exchange to go with the prisoner to see if three gold watches, which prisoner said he had bought for himself and his two companions, and ordered to be engraved with their names, were finished; but just when they had got out, prisoner said he had left his pocket handkerchief in the pub lic-house, and requested witness to go back for it ; he did so, lint could not find it ; he then returned, but the prisoner and the "old gentleman" had disappeared. Witness looked about for them iu the street for some time, but in vain ; he then looked at the parcel in his fob, to see if that wns all right; but, instead of its containing his £lOO, he found that it contained nothing hut brown paper and an old memoran dum book. He then thought he had been "done," and im mediately gave information at the police-office, and told them the numbers and dates of the notes, which be had had the precaution to take in the morning, suspecting, somehow or other, that all was not right. Mr. Maude: That was the only wise thing you did. M`Mulleu, of the Manchester police, stated, that, having some suspicion that the prisoner and his companion were gone to Stockport. he got upon the Defiance (London) coach along with the prosecutor to seek them there; and when they had got a little at the other side of Ardwick Green, the prisoner came out of a public-house, and got upon the coach; but, seeing the prosecutor, he pulled his hat over his eyes, and tried to avoid being seen by tom. M'Mullen then took him into custody, and, on searching him, found upon him a quantity of flash notes, and eight good £5 notes, which corresponded with the numbers previously stated by the prosecutor. The prisoner said he had nothing to say but that the mo ney was his, and he was going home to London when he was taken. Mr. Maude said he could not have thought that a man of the prosecutor's years could have been taken in in that man ner, especially as he might have seen in the newspapers an account of the very counterpart of this case, which occurred in Liverpool three weeks ago. The prisoner was committed for trial at the sessions. Mr. Taylor, attorney, shortly afterwards applied to the hetch to know what amount of bail they would accept for the prisoner's appearance at the sessions, as he could give bail to any amount; but Mr. Maude said they would not take bail at all, as it was a case upon which they had no doubt.

Flom the most complete returns that have yet been procured of the steam power existing in the manu facturing districts, and which were furnished by inspectors of factories, it appears, that the total steam power employed in the cotton mills of Lancashire and Cheshire was - 24,59/ horses. The increase since 1825, including the mills now its erection, is, according to the account, 17,413 horses, Of which 2.036 are destined for purposes not connected with the enttan manufacture, 15,377 as the increase in the cotton manufacture alone. which amounts to 62 per cent upon the power existing in the whole of the counties of Lancashire and Cheshire at the date of the former returns.—Journal if the Stills:kat Society of London. ENNtsKEithy.—Proceeding by the south side of Dublin, and crossing the Dodder, a small river emptying itself into the bay at Ifingsend, we soon reach the village of Milltoam and a little onward that of Dundi ton. On clearing the town, the environs on this side at once assume a rural cha racter. The villas, though small, are numerous; and the proximity to the mountains, the salubrity of .the air, and the means of recreation afforded by the numerous roads branch ing. off in various directions, have long rendered this place generally attractive to the citizens, and to invalids a place of frequent resort. Beyond Dundrum the road skirts the base of the mountain ranges, through which our road winds to the termination of this route ; passing on the right several of the granite quarries opened far the supply of building stone. On the left, the (touched fragments of that rock attest what the surface of this immediate portion of the country must _have been some years a"o. From this road you command a view of the city; and eastward, that tract covered with villas, through which the various lines of road from Dublin to Bray run; the more conspicuous from their elevation and proximi ty, being Mount Annvide and Mount Merrion. A little beyond Dundrum, on the right, is Moreen, the villa of Mr. M'Key ; and near it, on the rame side, the cottage of Alder man barley, remarkable from its situation on the hill side. In the lower grounds to the left, are the old castle, church ruins, and village of Kileetibin ; and a mile farther the village of, Kitternan—Kilterna4 House, the residence of Mr. Ander son, lying a little to the right. On the hilt side to the left, are the Lead Mines. Passing oil the right, Springfield, the villa of Thomas Thompson, Esq., romantically situated at the commencement of that remarkable ravine, well known as the Scalp. The road now enters the county of Wicklow, and soon teaches Enniskerry, which 1s delightfully situated in a deep valley, watered by one of the streams running into the Bray river. The picturesque cottages, the sceuery around the neighbourhood, and the improvements of the proprietor, Lord Powerscaurt, render this the must interesting of the. small places around Dublin. It is much frequented by the citizens; and is the first stage to the Seven Churches. There is a comfortable inn, and several respectable lodging houses —good cars and horses can also be hired. The road leaving Enniskerry is very steep; this, however, might he remedied by a line traversing the sloping grounds, up which the present road is carried. Proceeding, we pass close to the tine seat of Viscount Powerscourt on the right; and in the valley below, Tinnehiech, James Grattan, Esq., M.P. The house, a plain edifice, is close 14) the road, in an angle of that beautifully wooded valley, a branch of which commences at the Water fall and extends to Bray. It connects also with Glencree, and contains the Powerscourt deer -park, and the ravine of the Dargie. It is watered by seves al strestms, bearing various local names, which tun front the mountain ravines and glens, and uniting in their progress downwards, are borne in one channel, called the Bray river, to the sea.

THE :SEVEN CHURCHES.--At the confluence of the above streams, and at the base i,f Derry bawn mountains, is Derry bairn, the sea: of W. T. Bookey, Esq. The house is a neat modern edifice, and stand, in a thicket of trees, which con nect with the extensive ,plantations on the mouutain side. From the nature of the soil, the low grounds of this demesne have been improved at a vast expense; they stretch for a considerable distance down the banks of the Avnntnore river, and tip the Glendalough stream, including the southern side of the lough; and as far as they are cultivated, the richness of the verdure contrasts strnnelv with the sterility around. The extensive copse-wood of Ballard, in front of the house, gives the place quite a forest character. The village of Laragh, close to the bridge, contains one or two good public houses, whew parties oecasionally stop. The ruins of the Seven Churches he about half a mile west of Laragh bridge; they are merely the scattered fragments of what appears to have originally been, with two or three exceptions, small rule buildings. The principal group, consisting of the Cathedra, Our Lady's Church, St. Kevin's Kitchen, and the Round Tower, stands 00 0 grassy eminence rising over the small piece of water called Ponlanass, which is detached from the lake. You enter she wed-tenanted cemetery, which surrounds the cathedral by a ruined archway. The other ruins, which appear to he pressed into the service to make up the mystical number seven, are scattered along the road side and opposite shores of the lake; —they are now merely . masses of mouldering walls, with scarcely any architectural feature remaining, end are termed the Ivy Church, ithefeari Church, The Abbey. anti Teain-pull-na-Skelliy. The lake is about a mile in length by a fourth in breadth; it is supplied by two streasulets which run down the steep sides of the mountains; that on the south side runs through a deep wooded ravine, which separates the mountain at Derrybawn from the mine lofty Lugduff, and is called the Poolanass brook; it forms - a beautiful casade on a sniall scale, as it forces its way through the chasms of the rocks; the other, on the western end of the lake, called Glancola, runs be tweenLugduff and Comaderry. anti when the stream is full , has a go) falling rapidly down the naked rock. The (d effect, mountain boundaries of the lake are lofty and precipitous, an d r i se ja many places almost per from t he,deep, dark waters; the shores are well fringed with underwood; and the mountain ash, birch, oak, and holly, wherever they can obtain a footing, serve to relieve and soften the sternness of the mountain sides. There is nothing picturesque in the scenery of Glendalough; It is of a sterile and melancholy character, not bold enough certainly ins someini tsfe f a e t p4 u i r n e a s tititniied n lie de nominated grand; and it it produces the sublime, this is not owing to this majestic features of the scenery hut to its solitary and sombre nature, and to the associations which are perhaps awakened by the crumbling . relics of other \ days—so perfectly in unison with that cha racter.—Frassr's Guide through Ireland. - SELECT EXTRACTS. MAGNIFICENT VAULT.—The vault of the Scherematoff family is an object of the greatest curiosity. It is as large as ball-room, and warmed by stoves constantly heated; no damp can approach these mouldering remains, enshrined in tombs of ormolu, beautifully chased ; and though some are more than a hundred years old, though their tenants have already crumbled into dust, these costly monuements still remain fresh and unimpared as they came from the hands of the workmen.—Raikes'e City of the Czar. THE A RISTOCRACY OF ENGLAND.—Despotism will some times abuse its power; aristocracy will sometimes be inso lent, or foolish, or corrupt, or oppressive; but in the frail state of human nature, will the dominion of the populace be more pure, or virtuous, or wise? The old nobility may not , be what we could wish ' them be; but is it possible that the equality can exist for a day? •And if inequality must exist, what so palatable as this? When they ale insolent, is their insolence like that of new got wealth ? It is a counterac tion to intrigue, craft, fraud. corruption, and violence; and " leaves" men " leisure to be wise." The respect for it, in spite of all asseverations to the contrary, cannot be eradi cated from the human bosom; and lie %vim has it, and does not experience a complacent satisfaction at the reflection on it, is a fool or something worse; that is, a hypocrite who dis guises what he feels. The few really old nobility of England are some of the oldest and noblest of Europe t they may be called aboriginal—looking to the conquest, and souse even towards Charlemagne.—Sir Egerttm Brydges. COURAGEOUS Bki , Lotr.—A French lady, named Dangeville, said to be a sister of the deputy for the department of the Aine, ascended to the summit of Mont Bison on the 4th instant. She quitted the valley of Chamouni on the 3d at an early hour in the morning,, slept at the Grands Mulets, and reached her perilous destination at twelve o'clock on the , Ith. She remained on the summit of the mountain for about an hour, wrote some notes, and drank a health to the Count de Paris. The guides by whom she was accompanied spoke in the highest terms of her courage, perseverance, and pre sence of mind, and the cheerfulness with which she encour aged them, chatttng and joking with them during the entice of the ascent. Previously to this successful trip, the feat had been accomplished only by one female, a peasant of Chamouni, who, on reaching the grand plateau, became ex hausted with fatigue, and was carried by force to the summit. Mdlle. Dangeville, on her return to .Chamouni, on the morn ing, of the sth, was received with the utmost enthusiasm by the inhabitants, who proceeded to meet her, and fired salutes of cannon in honour of her exploit. • PICTURE op NEW Yonx.—There are but few things which arrest the eye of an Englishman perambulating New York different from those to which he has been accustomed. The - niggers, speckling the aspect of society, which forming a part of it, except among themselves, are certainly not the most pleasing feature for contemplation ; the total absence of street beggars, however, more than Counterbalances the eye-sore, and even the rank odour caused by the numerous coloured population. In summer will be noticed the straw hats and linen jackets, the ice vans and charcoal carts, the portable lemonade fountains at the corners of the streets, the cart-loads of pine-apples, melons, and peaches ; the auctioneers their goods under the awning of an umbrella, bawling and guessing; while the real black chimney-sweeper chants out his vocation, and some other niggers are crying from their wheelbarrows "hominy" and "hot corn." Add to these a carter standing up on its vehicle like an ancient charioteer, two or three tradesmen sitting at their doors reading news papers, and several piles of wood in the street, which some niggers are industriously sawing into sizes at their cross-leg ged mills. To carry out the picture, we must-add six pigs,. with right of common gutterway, three or four miserable dogs with their tongues hanging out nf their mouths, and a troop of newly-arrived " gim of the ocean" pisantry around a pump; while some "military" must be seen in the distance, and the ladies opening the windows to.obtain a peep at the heroes— "soldiers in peace, citizens in war." The military are for a • minute obstructed by six gaily-painted covered carts, filled with merchandise, which their owners, the "western mer chants," are carrying home; one "fresh spring-water" loco motive from Long Island, an "American ginger champagne" waggon, and a dirty cart carrying the mail of " U. S." (Uncle Sam, or United States.) The placards on the wall are— " American Theatre. Native talent!"— "American Museum," —" American fire•grates,"—" American blacking,"‘—Ame rican paper hanging."—and two political bills,—" Strike fo freedom! Congress meets on the 10th instant. Jackson-Even, do your duty!!"—" Democrats, Anti-masons, Whigs, heat George the Third 1776,—beat tyrant Jackson 18.36.—Elec tive monarchy—ruin—despotism—rouse to the fight —orslaves for ever—could beat the British." The picture will now be complete with the addition of a grocery store, on the outside of which is printed the following announcement:—" French brandy, Loudon gin, Monongahela whiskey, Jamaica spirits, Yankee ruin, pine-apple cider, Albany ale, Philadelphia porter, Saratoga spring -water, Congress water, sarsaparilla soda, ginger champagne, sling, toddy, sangaree, cocktail, mint julep. apple tack." The winter picture is, of :nurse, very different. The snow is on the ground [ruin four to twelve inches deep; business is at a stand-still; the wheeled vehic les disappear, and "sleighs', (sledges) of all descriptions, some of them very handsome, and drawn by from one to four horses, with bells round their necks to warn passengers of their otherwise noiseless approach over the snow, are used in their stead ; the rivers and canals are blocked up, and the ice, houses replenished; the theatres and ten-pin alleys (nine-pins being a prohibited game) till to overflowing; and those who have sweethearts take them out on " sleighing frolics," co• vered up in large bearskin wrappers, in which the warmest courtship is carried on over the ice and snow. The in ter season is peculiarly propitious to Hymen in the United States, as time is not then so valuable to men of business at it is iu summer.—Bentley's Miscellany. THE SHOW-itonm.—ft happened that an old lord of game family, who was going to 'usury a young lady of uo family in particular, came with the young lady and the young lady's sister, to witness the ceremony of trying on two uuptial bou nets which had been ordered the day before; and Madame Mantalini announcing the fact in a shrill treble through the speaking-pipe, which communicated with the workroom, Miss Knag darted hastily upstairs, with a bonnet in each head, and presented herself in the show-room in a charming state of palpitation, intended to demonstrate her enthusiasm in the,cause. The bonnets were no sooner fairly on, than Miss Kraig and Madame Manta fell into convulsi o ns of admiration, "A most elegant appearance!" said Madame Mantalini. "I never saw anything so exquisite in.alleny life!' said Miss Knag. Now old lord; who was a very old lord, said nothing, but mumbled and 'chuckled in a state of great delight, no less with the nuptial bonnets and their wearers, than with his own address in getting such a fine woman for his wife; and the young lady, wile was a very lively young lady, seeing the old lord in., this rapturous con dition, chased the old hod behind a cheval-glass, and then and there kissed bite, white Madame Mantalini and the other young lady discreetly looked another way. But, pending the salutatiosa Miss Kung, who was tinged with curiosity, stepped behind the gl a ss, end encountered the lively young lady's eye just at the very moment when she kissed the lord; upon which the young lady, in a pouting matinee, murmured some thing about " Au old think'," and "Great impertinence," and finished by darting a look of displeasure at Miss Krieg, and smiling caniemPinallsYy. "Madame alantahni," said the young lady, Ma'am," said Machine Mautalini. " Pray have up that pre tty young creature we saw yesterday." "Of all things in the world, Madame Mint slant." said the lord's i n t en ded, throwing herself languidly on a sofa, " I hate being waited on by frights of elderly persons. Let the always see lhat young creature, I beg, whenever I come," " Oh yes, do," said the sister. .'• By all means," sail the old lord; "the lovely young creature, by all means:" "Every body is talking about her," said the young lady, in the same care less manner; " and my lord, being a great admirer of female beauty, must positively see her." " She is universally ad mired," replied Msr datne Mantalini. "a iss Knag, send up Miss Niekleby. You beed not return." " 1 beg your par pen, aladame Mantalini, what did you say last ?" asked Miss Kline tiemblinge "You need not return," repeated the su perior, sharply. Miss Knag vanished without another word, and in all reasiinable time was replaced by Kate, who took off the new bonnets and put on the old ones, blushing very much to find that the old lord and the two young ladies were staring her •out of countenance all the time. " Why, how yotreolour, child !' said the lord's chosen bride. "She is not quite so accustomed to her business as she will be in a week or two," interposed Madame Mantalini, with a gracious smile. "1 am afraid you have been giving hini some of %our wicked looks, my lord," said the intended. "No, no, no,'" replied the old lord; " no, no, 1 m going to be married, and lead a new life. Ha, ha, ha ! a new life—a new life ! ha, ha, ha!" It was a satisfactory thing to hear that the old gentle man was going to lead a new life; for it was pretty evident that his old one would not last much longer. The mere exer- Von of protracted chuckling reduced him to a fearful ebb of coughing and gasping, and it was some minutes before he could find breath. to say that the girl was too pretty for a mil liner. "I hope you do not think good looks a disqualifica tion for the business," said Madame Mantalini, simpering. "Not by any means," replied the old lard, "or you would have left it long ago." " You naughty creature," said the lively lady, poking the peer with her parasol, " I won't have you talk so. Ilowilare you?" Phis playful inquiry was ac companied with another poke, and another, and then the old lord caught the parasol, and wouldn't give it up again, which induced the other lady to come to the rescue, and some very pretty sportivenes4 ensued. "You will see that those little alteratious are made, Madame Mantalini," said the lady. "Nay, ow lord, you shall positively go first ; I wouldn't. leave you behind with that pretty girl, not for half a second. 1 know you too well. Jane, my dear, let him go first, and we shall, be quite sure of him." The old lord, evidently much flattered by this susaicion, bestowed a grotesque leer on Kate as be passed, and receiving another tap with the parasol for his wickedness, tottered down stairs to the door, where his sprightly body was hoisted into the carriage by two stout footmen.—From Nicholas Nickleby. A IM:4,II:KAHLE AFRIcAN HUNTER.—In the evening, Henrick came from his huts to visit me. He was a square made and athletic N'arnaqua, of forty years of age, about five feet eight inches in height, nose low, but inclined to aquiline, teeth rather prominent, but covered with his lips; a goud humoured smile about his mouth, and altogether with a very amiable and intelligent expression of conntenauce, He was beautifully formed, deep chested, small waist, and muscular arms, thighs, and calves, without any extra flesh beyond what was necessary to give perfect ssnimetry to his figure. His feet were small, as is usual amore the S'arriaquas, but his instep was particularly high, and even rose in a sort of nob in the middle: this may have added to his astonishing power as a runner. 'l'he reader must not imagine I indulge in a traveller's license when I say that Henrick could catch and kill zebras by fleetness of foot. I believe he, has often dine this; for I have seen him turn zebras towards the guns; and when I tell you he managed to catch them. I toilV be believed—.if not, I must lie under an evil imputation, which I would willingly avoid—for, " Horts et sempre," now and always, "Truth me guide." When Henrick's powder :an 'short, he took a hunting knife in his telt hand (for he .was left handed, anti continued so, though it was through his left arm he had received a ball at the skirmish at Bethany), and knowing there were zebras in his neighbourhood, he went out to the field to seek them, to their grazing, ground, to run them dawn. Walking on his toes with an elastic springing step. at the rate of upwards of five miles an hour, he paced over the plain, glancing at the ground for foot marts, and on each side of him, with his keen eyes. The prints of the compact-hoofed zebras are observed on the sands, and pre sently the troop itself is seen grazing near. Henrick stoops, disencumbers himself of every skin covering which might encumber him, even to his leopard skin cap, and steals as near as he can to the game without being perceived; but the wetchfsil eye of the stallion discovers the hunter, when he leaves the cover of the hushes, and giving the alarm to the rest, the whole gallop off. Henrick, without putting himself to the top of his speed at first, follows them : the zebras stop to graze; Heurick running like a race horse, with his sto mach near to the ground, bounds towards them. Away they rush again, snorting and tossing their striped heads in the air, and switching their light and node-like tails in the pride of fancied fleetness and freedom. The hunter " sits on their skirts," and relaxes not from his pursuit fur a moment: he, clears stones, bushes, and other impediments: after three or four miles be is in perfect wind; the ground seems to fly from, e occasionally, l i k n eti e .aet t in l i l s ; loy e y;fl a , i n ni v s.a s io e osee r ni i kt h :g,e f: s r sri o :n: e i rth r i ge x he ,; :h n. r i e t e hit : hte e i s ist li d hhit r iaa l : h tit i sesin s e n n tiiiiti ( tu ) t: z eb r as tactoetn,s t n,or n ett laaaissleenltneioilssi towards ea : : d s.tn,a)ch g i ntra : r r ie t i(p a ) i sie z i ,,( : .)a e r - -;1 eep of the striped troop by the tail, ing the whole weight of his own body towards the ground at the same time. The zebra falls on its side, when Henrick instantly plunges his knife into its chest, mud then allows it to rise and run off: it keeps up with the rest for a short dis tance, then gradually falls behind the troop, weak'from the l o ss of blood. Its comrades wait for it till Henrick again dashes forward, repeats his fatal thrust, and if two stabs are not sufficient to stretch the zebra dead on the plain, a third is given, which rolls the beautiful body lifeless on the ground, covered with dust and perspiration, The successful hunter then returns to his huts, to send his people with pack-oxen to bring home the prize. --illexande s b.:podia:in into Africa, LORD FRANCIS EGERTON.—We understand that Lord F.

The Graduates and Alumni propose to wait upon him with an address of congratulation. 7 —Aberdeen Constitutional. - - REPRESENTATION OF DEVONPORT.—Another report is in circulation relative to our well-satisfied representative, Sir Edward Codrington. It is now said that a negotiation, or, in plainer terms, a bargaiu, is on the tapis, for the transfer of Sir Edward's seat to a gentleman conuected with the Ad miralty, the consideration to be made being the naval com mand at this port, on the retirement of Lord Amelius Beau cleik. We do not vouch for the authenticity of these parti culars, but we must express our disgust that the self-sufficiency of certain parties should have given any grounds for leading the world to suppose that the electors of this borough are to be bargained for, and bought and sold like heals of cattle. It was not sufficient that Caesar's wife should be pure, but that she should be above suspicion. So we say in respect to the character of this borough, and for the purpose of putting the- , matter at rest, we ask those who are able to give a reply whether any negotiation has been or is on foot respecting the representation of the borough ; and if so, v hat are the terms? That some mancauerings, some proceedings on which it would not be prudent to let in the light. have taken place, is evident; and as independent public journalists, it . shall be our duty to sift the matter to the bottom.—West of England Conservative. BONDED WHEAT,—The whole of the wheat in bond, amounting to one million of quarters, was liberated on Thurs day last, on the payment of is. per quarter duty to the Queen. It was fully expected that a very material decline in the price of that grain would follow when this vast supply entered the market. Quite the contrary effect has been produced, for wheat has actually advanced in value in the face of this enor mous supply! Flow is this? It is rumoured in Mark-lane that the principal holders of foreign wheat have held a private meeting, at which they one and ail agreed to withold their grain front the market at present, with the view of forcing up the price. It is certain that the display of sadaples of the "bonded" was very much reduced on Monday, and the factors boldly demanded higher rates, which they eventually obtained of the miners to the tune of two to three shillings a quarter. If this be notaa most audacioas attempt at a "corn monopoly," then there is no such thing in the world. Will the bread consuming public qUietly aubMit to the exaction now their eyes are open? if they do, let there be no more outcry against the corn laws. [lf speculators withold there grain from the market at present, tt can only he in anticipation that sup plies from ether sources will ultimately prove short. They no not mean to destroy part of their stock, like the Dutch in their Spice Islands, to get a higher price for the rest. The public would have cause of complaint if such was the case; but they have no cause, when holders merely reserve their stock for higher prices; for that which is the interest of the holders is also that of the public—namely, that the stock should be husbanded if it is scanty; and if it is not scanty, the holders have no motive for keeping theirs back, as they will not get higher prices by tieing so. We really thought this was A, B, C.]—/ilinisterial Evening Paper. DEATH OF THECHISHOLAI.—The former representative of this county, Alexander William Chisholm, Esq., of Chis holm, died here on Saturday last, the Bth inst. The hon. gentleman having resigned his seat. in parliament from ill health, was attacked, on the let of :.ugust, with a suddt;n and alarming illness, whilst in the Caaedonian Hotel, Inverness Medical assistance was instantly procured, and hopes were entertained of his recovery. It was found impossible, how ever, to remove The Chisholm from the hotel, and here he remained, alternately exciting hopes and fears among his family and friends, until death at length interposed to put an end to the melancholy and affecting struggle. Chisholm was in the 28th year of his age. He was attended in his last ill ness by Dr. Abercrombie, of Edinburgh, Dr. Hope, London, and the medical gentlemen of Inverness. Chisholm's father died in 1818, and by his will appointed, as tutors or guar dians to his son, Lord (ilenelg, Sir Duncan Cameron of Fassifern, Sir J. P. Grant of Rothiemurchus, and Mr. Ma kenzie of Muirtown. By the instructions of these gentlemen, Chisholm received a finished education at Cambridge : he was a young. gentleman of considerable attainments, and of amiable dispositions. He will be succeeded in his estates by his brother, Captain Duncan Chisholm of the Guards—an accomplished officer, who distinguished himself at college, and who is now with his regiment in Canada. The remains of the late chief will be interred in the family burying ground in Beanly Priory, next week, his cousin, Mr. Macdonnell of Glengarry, officiating as chief mourner.—lnverness Courier. M iss BeeDETT COUTTS.—The following particulars of the recent Harrogate "affair," may be relied upon as correct : Miss Burdett Coutts was staying at the "Queen Hotel" at Harrogate. Mr. Dunn, or Done, (at all events pronounced Dunn,) an Irish barrister, took lodgings exactly opposite to the house, and was very impertinent, &c. He got his picture .painted, anti had it placed in the garden, where she was in the habit of walking. It was observed by her or her maid, and taken into the house. They appeared to have had some sport about it, and sent it to a library for exhibition. The man is supposed to be a little deranged. Miss Burdett Coutts removed for a few days to the Marquis of Granby Hotel, (which, by the by, belongs to Macready,) High Harrogate; and Master Dunn either took lodaiugsimmediately . opposite, or within a few doors, anti persevered in his obtrusive inten tions until public notice was called for.--irje. DEATH OF SIR W. ELLIOTT, CAPTAIN, R.N.—We have reason to fear that this intrepid and distinguished officer died on Friday at Plymouth. He had not long obtained the coast:laud of the Adelaide, flag-ship to Lord Amelius Bean clerk. Sir W. Elliott was of tunable origin, a native of Cawsand, near Plymouth. His daring achievements during the late war in the West Indies procured for him every step in the naval ladder of promotion. Would that all of the same name would say as much ! Sir William, in the service, went by the .)o.iquet of " Fire-eating Elliott." The late captain of the Adelaide was no relative to the First Lord of the Admiralty. His sudden death gives to Lord Miuto another opportunity of extending his powerful patronage. The command of a flag-ship is the best appointment a cap tain can obtain.— Times. Entaligtact.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SErr. 18, During the whole of the past week there has been no rain, and the weather, though sometimes too cold and deficient of sunshine for unripe Grain, has been on the whol , very favourable for the operations of harvest, now in active progress generally throughout this district; notwithstanding which, and the release of all bonded Wheat and Flour on Friday last, (as stated below) we had at this day's market here, and since in Manchester, a very fair demand for the liner qualities of British and Foreign Wheat, at fully; the prices of Tuesday last, and in some instances at an increase of 2d to 3d per Ib ; there was also a moderate sale for all other articles in the trade at full prices ; and the demand would have been inure exten sive, but that many of the principal Millers and Dealers ha ve sup plied their immediate %Yaws by previous purchases of \'heat in bond ;—the appearance of the country to casual observers has been always luxuriant, and of the crops of spring Grain and Potatoes throughout this and nei4hbouring count es the report has been generally favourable ;—of 1i heat little is as yet secured, and there may be about one-third cut and in stooks. and from the more par ticular investigations of many intelligent practical farmers, the previous reports of a serious deficiency in quantity and quality are confirmed.—The imports of the past week have been very trivial, and those of Wheat coastways have again been chiefly foreign in bond from London. The aggregate average of Wheat for the six weeks ending the 7th instant, received at our Custom-house here on Friday last, was 73s Id per qr and the lowest duties of is per qr. on Wheat and 7d per barrel on Flour from Foreign ports have been payable since that day here, and will of course so continue until Friday nett, the 21st instant, of which all holders of those articles in hood will im mediately avail themselves, as it is very probable the duties will then he again increased to 2s 8d per qr and Is 71d per ;—we believe the estimate stated in our last circular is correct, and we now repeat it : the quantity of Foreign Wheat and Flour in bond here, and on board ships in our docks. may be about 170,000 qrs. and about 05,000 hrls. and in the United Kingdom about boo,noo firs of Wheat : thus has the release of all Foreign Wheat and Flour in bond in the United Kingdom been very opportunely, cleverly end we believe very fairly accomplished I—The duty on Foreign Bar ley. Indian Corn, Buck Wheat and Beans is this week decreased Is 6d per qr;—on Oats and Beans no alteration.—Of Foreign Wheat and Flour the quotations are now those of free Grain ; of all other Grain in bond they are almost nominal, so few transac tions have recently occurred therein. At this day's market there was a good attendance of millers and dealers who bought to a moderate extent, and some sales were also made to specula ors ()Nile finer qualities of British and Foreign Wheat at fully the advance above noted on last Tuesday's prices. and for all other articles in the trade there was a limited demand, at a small improvement on prices, but not sufficient to alter the general quotations. ‘Vnaar, 701 b a. d. a d English 8 0 alO Scotch Irish Bonded 9 0 9 6 BARLEY. 47 qr.

The supply of Beasts at market to-day hqs been very large. lir far the greatest we have had this season, but notwithstam.ing the great increase in number, the demand has been equal to the sup ply, there being many country buyers present who i,ought ratl,r largaly. We cannot note any alteration in the price of first quality Beef; those being principally in demand, they have fully Ina:n tamed last week's prices; 'but those of middling and interior quality, those remaining msold being of a small inferior sort. The supply of Sheep has not been quite so large as for some weeks past, and the Lambs were hut few, being out of season ; but good We ther She,p still sell at a good price, eonsrquently they were prin cipally sold up at rather an early hour in the afternoon. The best Beef may be quoted as high as 6d per lb ; second quality. At ith middlirE, and inferior, varying from that down to 41d; but those of the latter price were of a very ordinary description. Large Nether Mutton sold at 6ld ; middling and gwes Cd, with some of very ordinary quality at 50. The few good Lambs that were in the market were sold at about Gid per lb.
