And when, with mirth and song, we quaff The sparkling draught from pleasure's bowl, How fears invade, and steal the laugh Fresh gushing from the soul! Wherever sportive echoes play With human speech or human sound, Whatever passion holds its sway, These hopes and fears are found. Look on the man, within whose breast Ambition's burning thoughts reside; How oft will fears disturb the rest Which pleasing hopes supplied ! Read in the anxious lover's face The changing fictions of his mind ; Now, pictur'd happiness you trace — Now, sadden'd doubt you find. How does the parent's kindly heart Throb with affection's hopes and fears ; These speak of death's unfriendly dart— Those, childhood's sunny years.

HENRY MELTON CHAPTER 111 It will not be necessary that I should bring before the reader any thing more than I have already mentioned, inci- with respect to the early life of the subject of my present sketch. I❑ fact it was only as a schoolboy that I knew him, previously to the meeting detailed in the preced- dentally and boyhood seldom pursues his inquiries into _ . the history of individuals very far beyond the surface which is presented to him. Besides, to enter into particulars, even if they were of interest sufficient to warrant me in doing so, would involve more of my own personal history than I choose at present to disclose ; and the reader must therefore be con tent with so much of that of my friend as he may be able to gather from—(l am afraid I must call them)—the confessions which will be hereafter brought before him. On the day succeeding the interview described in the last chapter, I found myself, towards evening, seated with poor Melton by the window of his little apartment in Walnut-tree Walk. I had shared with him his tea,—which, by the kind bands of his landlady, had been neatly prepared and fur nished with a few such little delicacies as were suited to his invalid state,—and our conversation had assumed a vein of cheerfulness which had restored much of the equable and even buoyant spirits which he naturally possessed. An oc casional vein of sadness, it is true, flowed through his re marks if they glanced upon any topic calculated to call up recollections of the past ; and there was a bitterness of tone, intermingled here and there with his most lively sallies. He was more collected, however. and at ease ; and, in a while, he could speak freely of his future prospects, and even, with tolerable equanimity, recur to past sorrows and disappoint ments. " You will wonder, George," he remarked, after a pause in our conversation, during which a thoughtful and saddened expression had crept over his features. " You will wonder, — and well you may !—to see your early school friend as you see him now. There was a time when if I could have looked forward to this day, I should have thought that I gazed upon a dismal impossibility—the phantasy of a disturbed dream. And yet how infinitely more happy am I now—here, in this poor apartment"—(and he looked round upon his neat, though humble dwelling with a smile of bitterness)—" than I have been when, in a worldly sense, brighter and better prospects were still before me!" --. _ He — paused for a few moments, and then resumed in a tone of melancholy earnestness—" Yes, George, the first bright dream of life—the dream of love, of a happy home, of a holy calling—is gone for ever ; and now—but why trouble you with my miseries ?" - - I strove to lead his thoughts into another channel, and he listened to me—at least I thought he listened—whilst I pointed out to him the path of ambition, which was still open to one gifted as he was. I saw his eyes glisten ; I saw his cheek flushing, and his breast heaving with excitement ; tears at length—heavy tears—rolled down his cheeks, and he sobbed aloud. I painted a bright prospect before him—a calm and hoppy lot, if not one such as hope had painted in his earlier years ; but he heard me not. The notes of a strolling musician turning a French piano beneath the win dow, had abstracted alike ear, eye, and sense ; and poor Melton was alone for a time, communing with the past. " That strain, George," at length he murmured faintly, " what memories does it bring to me ! How it whispers to me of the scenes of boyhood which we trod together— Of Brignal banks so fresh and fair. And Greta's woods so green!' I see them at this moment rising up before me, called up by the magic of that simple air ; and its notes, like mocking fiends, drag me to that latticed chamber with its clustering flowers, which used to " lap the senses in Elysium ;" and to the presence of that fair being, sweeter than they, and faded, now, as they are. I hear at this moment the notes streaming from her parted lips ; I see her, at this moment, ' Trembling to hear the sound Of her own voice and lute ; Blushing to look around On listeners so mute.' Oh ! I would give worlds to forget all, of which that simple air brings to me the harrowing memory ; and yet that poor fellow w ) comes, day by day, to play it beneath my adow, has had—how often heaven knows !—the last any which I have possessed; and has seldom indeed, as w, gone away without some token—aye, for the very pain ich in his innocence he has inflicted upon me. To how my a thoughtless happy heart the strolling musician ings gladness; to how many bereaved ones misery un- utterable te chord once struck which vibrated to the seat of poor ion's grief, I foresaw that the veil which hid all his t from me would not long be permitted to remain ; nor I mistaken, for, after a short period, he went on— . You knew Maria B- how formed she was to win adoration ; how I loved her. But no ; you cannot conceive the depth of such a love as mine. Yet she, even she it was whose inconstancy has wrecked this heart. But she knew it not. Oh, no ! they told her that I was unworthy ; that I w " an outcast; that I loved another : and she cast me away to be the thing I am. I have promised, George, that i uld tell y ou a ll, an d I will do so ; but why make a long storyandvof what may be conveyed in a few words? I was ma d, and wild ; had won honours and a distinguished . "''"e , that career which was my chosen one ; I was courted . and flattered, and I fell;—but not to _quill!

An exclamation *lids escaped me roused poor Melton f rom the stupor of grief into Which the recital of this deso lating tale had cast him. " .

' You will not be happy, Harry,'—she told me, and oh, how prophetic has been the assurance !—` you will not be happy in the course of life which you have chosen. Yet humble though the pretensions of your Maria may be to share the lot of one to whom such prospects are within reach, if you use rightly the opportunities and the talents which you pos sess, she dares not incur the risk of building up her future happiness upon the love of one so unstable—so utterly reck less—even if that love was hers. They tell me, however, that you love another ; and I do no t complain. You deserve a brighter—a fairer—a better than I could ever be to you. after a pause, deny it '—itnnlersed in You n;uil love for I know that, but fur Notts@ ;Wog IA you could not, be unkind to your early playrnale ; and your poor Maria shall therefore not be a hindrance to your future peace. Your sister will have told you of the step which am about to take—that in a few days you will be freed from our foolish and childish engagement. I have nothing there fore to do more than to wish you happy—happier than I can ever be —and to bid you, eternally, farewell !' "George —that cutting, cruel, though kindly intended letter is impressed, and will ever be impressed, as if in letters of fire, upon my heart. Yet, at the moment when received, it only seemed to plunge me into more reckless abandon ment. For some days—for above a week, I flew madly from crime to crime. I drank until my senses reeled in delirium. I did worse—l gamed, and I only awoke to consciousness when prostrated upon a bed of sickness ; and my heart knawed, and my brain on fire with the knowledge that, in my madness, I bad wrecked my fortune irrecoverably, and that I was now, at the outset of life, with all the fond hopes which were built upon me—with a doting father looking up to me as the stay of his declining years—with a sister who loved me as her own soul—with one, too, whom, lost as she was to me, I loved still, better than the world, or, I fear, than eternity itself ;—in that hour I felt that I was become that wretched, outcast thing—a beggared gamester!" His features writhed in unutterable agony, whilst he al most shrieked from betwixt his clenched teeth this climax of his misery. With a strong effort, at length he mastered his emotion and proceeded. " The first hour of consciousness however, wretched though it found me, was not one of inaction. I started from my bed of sickness ; and fevered as I was, (and at this distance of time I can fancy no other than that I was delirious too,) I threw myself into the mail, and on the following evening I was seated in the hotel at Greta Bridge, within a few miles of the little village of G-, pale and haggard, and wondering almost upon what errand I had come, or by what instrumen tality I had been borne, to that well remembered, once loved, but now loathed and distressful scene. " How I passed that fearful night to this hour, I never knew. It was not, however, in sleep ; for the dawn found me seated upon a mossy stone, in the park at Rokeby, by the confluence of the Tees and Greta, where, lulled, perhaps, by the silver sound of the meeting waters, or by the busy memories of the past, which it called u? within me, I had Upon that very spot, George,—how remained for hours —were spoken the first words of love which this tongue ever uttered—the last too ! Upon that very spot, mingled with the gliding of those sweet waters, was whispered the chaste acknowledgment of a happy heart, which bore bliss alike to her by whom it was uttered, and to him whose ears drunk in its soft music. well I remember it ! " That dawning morn—would that I could recal it ! The cool air never since played upon this faded forehead so grate fully as then. Peace never rushed upon me with such a tranced suddenness as when I bathed my fevered face in those trans lucent waters. My steps absolutely bounded as I passed along the shaded walks, beneath the chesnut trees and spreading oaks. And yet, if it be true that The coming events cast their shadows before,' my feet should on that bright morning have been glued to the green sod. But why prolong my wretched tale? In a few hours I had breakfasted, and was careering along towards the quiet village, in which, the past blotted from my memory, and a bright dream before me, I pictured the fair form of her I loved, advancing to greet me, with the smile ' of olden time' upon her cheek; and joy and grace meet ing in the wavy motion of ' her form most infantine.' " I had passed the village green ; I had passed the village church, and was approaching that spot within which all that this heart ever loved was nurtured, when the bells rung out a merry peal, and I observed that every living being whom I met wore a face of something akin to gladness, and that eyes familiar to my youth gazed at me as I passed with a com miserating look. Yet even these awakened me not from the dream into which I had fallen. On, on, in a stupid, stony trance of fancied bliss, I passed ; and not a flitting thought of ill—not a throb of the startled heart—not a flutter of the pulse—checked my blindly confiding hopes. I had neared the little winding path which led across the daised lawn ; my eye was already fixed upon the latticed windows of that sweet dwelling place ; my senses already drunk in the soft perfumes of the clustering honeysuckle which hid its porch, when a sound of approaching wheels and a buzz of voices--happy voices I thought them—compelled me to turn aside for a moment. A post-chaise swept past me, its windows down, and the postillion wearing bridal favors ; and as I looked around, standing almost at the very gate which had so often yielded to my hand—at which I had exchanged so many parting words of love,—my eyes were blasted by the sight of her upon whose sweet image my fevered and delirious thoughts had wandered through the lone night, seated in bridal array, side by side, with the chosen being who was from henceforth to be her all—the partner of her future pilgrimage on earth—her husband! " I sprung forward with the energies of a madman. I clung to the carriage until it whirled up to the door; and when Maria stepped out, blushing and seeming happy, I sunk down with a wild shriek at her feet, and knew no more, until I found myself, weeks afterwards, at home,—ill, very 111,—with my, beloved sister watching by my pillow. From that hour, George, I have been the wrecked, lost thing you He ceased. The feverish, forced energy which had sup ported him through his painful narrative was gone ; and it was not until nearly an hour had passed that he became sufficiently composed to enable me to take my leave. JENNY CARELESS; OR, ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE (For the Liverpool Standard.) How frequently in our sojourn through life do we meet with characters which, if we saw delineated in a book, we should conclude were overdrawn and exaggerated. Not lon g since our own town furnished an instance of a man who spent thirty years of his life, and tens of thousands of his money, in undermining, in every direction, the earth, that infinite wisdom had made solid, and this for no other reason than the satisfaction of his own ill-directed mind ; and who that has ever bad a peep at the noisome and innumerable tunnels, thousand arches, unsightly mounds, and deep holes that dis figure one part of Edge-hill, is not struck with amazement at the magnitude of the mischief, and grief that so large a por tion of the time of an immortal and accountable being should have been so mis-spent, in marring the fair work of creation. But the opening remark of this paper was suggested to the mind of the writer more forcibly than ever during a recent brief visit to a little village near Chester, in the outskirts of which resides a complete " female outlaw," who is the terror of the surrounding farmers and landowners. She does not certainly possess the redeeming traits that some of the males of outlaw notoriety have credit for, (for instance, Sir Hum phrey Kinaston, who stole from the rich to give to thepoor,) unless, indeed, she considers herself the most needy of that class. The constant risks this strange individual has run has earned for her the appellation of Jenny Careless ; and throughout the neighbourhood she is scarcely known by any other name. Jenny is an unmarried woman, now about thirty-six years of age, and inhabits a cottage, in a secluded spot, about a mile from the high road. She does not possess one perch of land, although she is the pro prietess of two cows, three donkeys, and a number of pigs, &c. ; and in the keep of these quadrupeds the craft of our spinster is chiefly displayed, for it requires little ingenuity to feed cattle when you have plenty of land ; but to graze with out a field, and fodder without a farm, and•that most abun dantly, has been left to the subject of the present sketch to discover. Jenny has reversed the order of things, and the time for her cattle to regale themselves is during the silent a nd dingy hours of m id n i g ht, while the proprietors of the adjacent fields, weary with their honest toils, are fast locked in the arms of Morpheus. Then it is that Jenny, without shoes and stockings, creeps along a lane, and dislodges a hedge-stake for her cattle to get over and luxuriate in the well cultivated pastures of her richer neighbours ; but should some vigilant farmer surprise her, and prevent their return by the gap, her magic hand struck sharply on the flank of her well instructed kine, and her more magic voice with " Now, Betty, for thy life," " Now, Sally, for thy life," is the signal for a leap from the unwieldy creatures that would not disgrace a steeple-chase. Occasionally, even Jenny Careless is outwitted, and her unlucky cattle found in the Pound. Then she bewails her unhappy fate, and if tears will not avail for their release, she pays the money, declaring the obdurate farmer shall be none the richer, as she will have it out of him before many days are over. Once lately, poor " Betty" could not resist the odoriferous perfume of a clover field ; and as ill luck would have it, was found there by the owner, who straightway marched her into the Pound : release was refused without the payment of 17s. In vain did Jenny cry, and plead she had not a shilling in the world; at last, when nothing else would do, she proposed to give, as a re muneration, a heap of manure that stood in front of her cot, which offer was accepted, and the cow delivered to its mis tress, the innocent farmer little calculating that she would spend the ensuing hours, which he devoted to needful rest, in removing the manure into her cabin; and that the next morning, when he took his cart to fetch it, he would be ex ultingly told he dared not touch a spadefull. During this summer there were some bricks to be t made t in the neighbourhoo d, and as it was necessar y to bu rn the bricks, it was also nec essar y to p rovide coals. Well; o it quite out of Jenny's power to purloin them, a man was duly ensconced as watchman, but alas the Roman law is not in force in happy England, and sleeping at his post is not here punishable with death ; consequently, this poor fellow was not proof against the attacks of the drowsy god when did Jenny Careless lose aught by sleeping ; a n d though the poor man to his own fancy had " only a wink," she contrived to lay in a winter's stock of coal. In fact, Jenny is the pest of the village ; not a hen can batch her brood in peace for Jenny's pigs—not a duck can swim the pit in quiet for Jenny's ducks—not a lady walk the lanes without being menaced by Jenny's cows—not a youth pur sue his angling without the chance of being kicked into the water by Jenny's donkeys. Reader, this is no tale of romance ; but how frequently do we meet with characters which, if we saw faithfully drawn in a book, we should con sider exaggerated.

So great is the drought at present in the island of Wal cheren, that it has been found necessary to send a vessel to Holland for a supply of water. It is reported that Lady Caroline Towneley, sister to the Earl of Sefton, has recently become a convert to the doctrines of the Church of Rome, and made her first communion. Early in the ensuing week, Lord Einlyn will be united to Miss Cavendish, who, as maid of honour to her Majesty, re ceives the royal dowry of £lOOO on her wedding day. The Rev. Edward St. Lawrence, the venerable Arch deacon of Ross, and son of the late Lord Bishop of Cork, expired suddenly, in a fit of apoplexy, on Tuesday last. John White, Esq., of Park Hall, Derbyshire, and of Sale, in Cheshire, has accepted the mastership of the Cheshire fox hounds. On Tuesday a railroad labourer, engaged in excavating upon the Eastern Counties line, near Boreham, was killed by a quantity of earth falling in upon him. ROYAL VISIT TO WARWICK.—It is expected that the Queen and Prince Albert will visit the Earl of Warwick, at his magnificent baronial residence, at the close of the season in town.—Birmingham Advertiser. A new pier has been begun by the London and Brighton Railway Company in the western arm of Shoreham Harbour, for the accommodation of steam vessels to and from France and the Channel Isiands.—Brighton Gazette. A female, of the name of Ann Greenwood, murdered her infant child last week, at the village of Shelf, near Bradford. She has been committed to York Castle for trial at the assizes. CAUTION.—The British barque Hincloo has been libelled, and duly seized at New York, and the barque Science, of Philadelphia, for bringing more passengers than allowed by law. Monday, the sth of September, is fixed upon for holding Preston Guild. A committee of the council has been ap pointed for the purpose of celebrating it with the usual magnificence. An attempt was made on Friday to rob the house of the widow of Daly, the murdered policeman. The thief, doubt less, supposed that the money subscribed for her, amounting to £llO, was in her possession. FATAL COAL PIT ACCIDENT.—On Monday forenoon, an accident occurred in one of Mr. Thomas Case's coal mines, called the Ross-bridge colliery, in Ince, near Wigan, by which two boys lost their lives. if rhubarb seed is not wanted it is a mere waste of the powers of the plant to allow it to flower. For the same reason asparagus should not be permitted to bear berries, nor sea-kale flowers and seeds. TOWN-CLERK FOR THE CITY OF LONDON.—The poll for the election of town-clerk took place on Thursday morning. The contest terminated at half-past three o'clock, when the numbers were—Merewether, 106 ; Pritchard, SO ; majority for Merewether, 26. The Lord Mayor declined voting. During the week, from the 10th to the 16th inst. inclusive, the number of passengers between France and England, who embarked from and landed at Boulogne-sur-Mer, was 1034 of carriages 18, and horses 4. At Calais, the number during the same period were, passengers 371, carriage 1. We are glad to perceive, from the country journals and other sources of information, that the recent seasonable rains have been pretty general throughout the country, and that the accounts from all quarters agree in anticipating the pro spect of an early, good, and abundant crop of almost all things designed by Providence for the nourishment of our fello w-creatures. The Mauritius papers of the 18th of February, are quite barren of news, and the Buenos Ayres papers of the 2nd of April are very little better, as they only note the conti nuance of the exchange at 30. per paper dollar, and the local stock at 60 to 65. There were 80 vessels in port at the latest date. Her Majesty's frigate Viper had sailed for Monte Video and Rio de Janeiro. SHOCKING DEASH.—Last Monday evening, as a fisher man, named Salmon, was tanning some fishing nets, he ac cidentally fell into the tan tub, which was boiling at the time ; another man who was with him was unable to get him out, and a considerable time elapsed before the unfortunate man was extricated. The sufferer expired in about six hours. A coroner's jury, which sat on the body on the fol lowing day, returned a verdict of " Accidental death."— Leeds paper. SIIOCKING DEPRAVITY.—A wretched man named Cor coran, who by habits of vile profligacy became reduced from comfortable circumstances to beggary, and was lately ad mitted into the Fermoy Workhouse, gave an instance on Saturday last, of the uncontrollable ascendancy, which vice long indulged, gains over human nature. This hoary mis creant, who is on the verge of SO years, was, on the day above-named, discovered in the act of violating an infant child only four years old !! ! He was instantly sent to Bride well, and on Monday brought up for examination before the Fermoy bench of Magistrates, who, from the clear evidence given of his guilt, had him committed for trial to the next assizes.—Cork Paper. THE CONFECTIONERY TRADE.—We regret to state, that whatever hope may have been entertained as to the continu ance of this trade in Guernsey is now at an end, it having been stated by the Earl of Ripon, the President of the Board of Trade, to a gentleman who waited on him in Lon don, on Friday last, that this trade would he stopped on the sth of next month (July), by the operation of the tariff, which imposes a duty of 6d. a-pound on all foreign confec tionaries ; and the Guernsey confectionery comes under this category, from being made of foreign materials. Confec tioneries intended for " exportation" may still be manufac tured in Guernsey, as at present; but we understand that the export trade of these goods is not sufficiently extensive to support the expense of separate establishments.—Guern sey paper. On Sunday afternoon the county of Radnor was visited by a storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, which has been most destructive in its effects. The lightning is represented to have been most terrific, while the rain, which came down in torrents, and which was accompanied with hailstones of large dimensions, poured down the mountains, and having col lected in the plains, entirely overflowed many hundred acres of ground. Several farmers have lost a quantity of cattle. In a field belonging to Mr. Lloyd, of Llandive-hall, fifteen head of cattle had sheltered themselves under an oak tree in the centre of the field, which was struck by the electric fluid, when it was shivered to pieces, and all the beasts were struck dead. The loss to the owner is about £3OO. Many fields had the seed washed away, while a large quantity of grass was broken by the hail. STORM AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT NESSCLIFF.--At about half-past seven o'clock on Monday evening the village of Nesscliff was visited with a most tremendous thunder-storm ; for about ten minutes the rain came down in torrents, wash ing large quantities of sand into the roads from the adjoining hills ; many parts of the roads were knee-deep in sand, and in some places almost impassable. A servant of Mr. Wall, of Shotatton, (who had been working in the fields with a horse and cart during the day,) on his return home at night, proceeded to the cart-house for the purpose of putting the cart under cover; whilst he was so engaged, a most terrific clap of thunder was heard, which so startled the horse that he suddenly sprang forward, and thereby crushed the poor fellow so dreadfully between the cart-shaft and post, or wall, that he was unable to speak afterwards. He expired soon after the accident occurred.—Salopian Journal. BETHNAL-GREEN CHURCHES.—The fourth of the ten new churches proposed to be erected in the populous parish of Bethnal-green is rapidly approaching completion, and will be consecrated by the Lord Bishop of London so soon as the necessary arrangements can be made. Many of the seats will be free and unappropriated, and the others are to be let at a price which will bring them within the means of the tradesmen and artisans who reside in that neighbourhood. Three years have elapsed since the Bishop of London issued his proposals for ten additional churches, school-honses, and parsonages in this vast parish ; £75,000 were required, and £63,000 have been already subscribed. Three churches have been consecrated, four more are in progress; eight sites out of the ten have been procured, and the sum of £12,000 only is now required to complete the work of giving churches, clergymen, and schools, to a population of 74,000 souls, who have been hitherto almost entirely destitute of all external means of spiritual and moral improvement. The congrega tions of the churches already built are extremely large, and the Sunday, daily, and infant schools are well attended. The Principal and Fellows of Brasenose College, Oxford, patrons of the rectory, have vested the perpetual patronage of eight of the new churches in the Bishop of London, and have given him the nomination to the remaining two. THE CONVICTS FRANCIS AND COOPER.—The day fixed by the sheriffs for the execution of the two culprits now under sentence of death in Newgate is next Monday, the 4th July. The fact was communicated to them yesterday morning by the chaplain of the prison, in presence of the sheriffs and other authorities. Francis, who has been in a very dejected state since his conviction, appeared much sur prised at the awful information, he having indulged in the belief that the sentence would not be carried into effect. On becoming a little more composed, he declared in the most solemn manner to his attendants that he had no inten tion to do her Majesty the slightest injury, and that there was nothing in the pistol but a little powder and a piece of paper. The father of the miserable youth has petitioned the throne for a commutation of the sentence. Francis has also declared that his only motive for making the feint, as he calls it, was, that he might gain an asylum where he would be relieved from the harass and suffering attendant on poverty. Although he suffers extreme mental anguish, his bodily health does not appear to be at all affected. On the intelligence being communicated to Cooper, that the day was fixed upon when he was to die, he received the information to all appearance as a matter of course. He has become very humble, and conducts himself in a becoming manner. He still remains in the infirmary, where he has been ever since his committal to prison. He suffers a great deal from his feet, in which the effects of the poison he took has lodged. DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH A BURGLAR, NEAR BRADFORD. — CAPTDRE OF THE ROBBER.—The most daring but 4-I,try we ever remember to have happened in this neigh b,elrhood, occurred on Sunday night last, and fortunately ended in the capture of the thief, and for the most part the defeat of his nefarious design. Mr. Joseph Bailey, waste dealer, resides in Spring Row, Manningham, near Bradford ; and, on the evening in question, retired to rest about ten o'clock, having previously suspended his watch, according to custom, over the bed-head. After being asleep for some time he was awakened by hearing, as he thought, some one moving itsakeingyes saw a man's hand his watch. a st b r o e u to t h t e h d e orvoeormdmahneddoinn othpeenaictitgoht. With out saying a word, or making the slightest exclamation, he sprung out of bed and seized the intruder by the collar. A desp era t e struggle ensued, both being powerful men, and pretty equally matched, until at length they came to the edge of the chamber steps, when they both rolled to the bottom. Although severely bruised in the descent, Bailey never re laxed his hold of the robber ; and the struggle was continued with equal determination on both sides in the lower floor for some minutes. At length they got out into the garden in front of the house, when Bailey broke the silence, and by came not repeated cries alarmed two of the neighb ours, who uot in their undress, and assisted him to secur e the thief. In the space of a few minutes the constable was brought to the spot, and effectually secured the prisoner by handcuffing him. Seeingthi this momentl e hopelessness preserved e f r v his ed t h e m position,ost irnpthe erttirprisoner,ba. who up to lA , s il enc e, exclaimed, " Well, it's a done job." The pri soner was now searched, and upon his person were found no less than thirty-one skeleton keys, for opening cupboards, desks, &c., two brace bits , o ne of whic h fitted a hole newly made in the back door, and a dark lantern. The drawers in every part of the house had been ransacked, and a number of articles were packed up, ready to be conveyed away. The watch was found on the chamber floor ; and a pocket con taining £3O in cash, wrapped up in a waistcoat. As some things, but none of material value, were missing, it seems more than probable the man had one or more accomplices. Entrance had been effected thro u g h the window,one square of which was broken, room for a ha nd was thus obtained, th e latch unfastened, an d the sash gently raised.

I Messrs Cynant Mines, near Aberystwith, very lately opened Roberta and Co., have already yielded several valuable cargoes of lead ore. _ _lt is said that an eminent capitalist bas offered to take the Newport Docks ai;iQTwhich would afford the proprietors seven per cent. on the whole of the capital expended. On Monday week a young man named Davis, in the em ploy of Mr. Herne, linen-draper, Cardiff, was drowned while bathing in the Taff. GREAT FIRE.—On Tuesday_ morning last at one o'clock, a fire broke out at the house of Mr. Taylor, a plumber and glazier at Lambourne, Wilts, which spread with such fear. ful rapidity that 13 houses were destroyed. On Sunday evening last, from some cause not yet ascer tained, some of the extensive plantations of Sir G. Tapps Gervis, Bart., near Poole, caught fire, and continued burn ing all the night, nearly 100 acres of fine young plantations being consumed. - In the village of Cucklington, near Bristol, a few days since, some boys were throwing stones at each other, when one of the party, the son of Mr. Cross, was struck on the pit of the stomach, and killed instantaneously. The present year has been fatal to three of the most active and successful managers of the minor theatres, Ducrow, Davidge, and Yates. - - Our market continues to be well supplied with prime fresh herrings, which meet a ready sale at prices varying from 16 to 20 for a shilling.—Manx Liberal. DREADFUL EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING.—On Sunday even ing last, two very fine boys, about 10 and 11 years of age, the sons of a man named Cahel, in the parish of Kilmichael, county Clare, were killed by lightning. The munificent sum of £lO,OOO has been collected in the Protestant churches of Prussia, for the schools and hospitals belonging to the Bishopric of Jerusalem on Mount Sion, in compliance with the order of the King. We understand that Knowles obtained £6OO for his Rose of Arrayon, half that sum being given by Webster, and half by Charles Kean, at whose instance the play was undertaken by the author. - - A. gentleman named M`Carthy, of Loughrea, swam across the lake of that town, at the broadest part, a distance of three miles, on Monday last—a feat almost unparalleled in aquatics, since the famed one " o'er Helle's wave," in mo dern times accomplished by the late Lord Byron. On Tuesday afternoon, two young gentlemen, sons of Jo- seph, May, Esq., who were fishing in the river Test, near Romsey, took shelter from a thunder storm under some trees, when, melancholy to relate, the youngest, George Wilson May, aged about fifteen, was struck by lightning and killed on the spot. Two BOYS DROWNED.—On Friday se'nnight several youths took a boat without the liberty of the owner, and were amusing themselves in the bay near Smallmouth sands, coast of Dorset, when slime of their companions on shore (to frighten them) told them the man belonging to the boat was coming, on which two of them jumping out, were drowned. —Bristol paper. - - A NEW FEATURE. IN COMMERCE. — On the 17th instant, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, Messrs. Wade, Sons, and Co., of Hull, received an order from a correspondent in Birmingham, for between forty and fifty tons of deals ; the whole were sent off by the Hull and Selby Railway, the same afternoon, and reached Birmingham the following day, being a saving in time of at least fourteen days over the usual water conveyance. THE PORT OF NEWCASTLE.—During the year ending with November last, there were imported coastwise into this port, 4,595 loads of Scotch timber, 21,832 dozen of pit props, 68,556 sacks of flour, and 76,109 qrs. of grain. The quan tity of foreign grain imported during the same period was — of wheat, 122,122 qrs. ; barley, 18,290 qrs. ; oats, 7,309 qrs. ; rye, 5,955 qrs. ; pease, 9,069 qrs. ; beans, 4,226 qrs. tares ; tares, 1,426 qrs. ; and of foreign flour, 613 barrels. Prussia, Germany, and Denmark are the states whence these imports were derived. IMPORTANT TO THE CORN TRADE. — Since the printing of the bill for the new tariff of duties on the 17th instant an important relaxation has been introduced by the committee of allowing corn in the bonding warehouses an allowance for natural waste, viz.:—lf warehoused one and less than three months—wheat, bariey, and rye, 11 per cent; oats, 21 per cent. Three, and less than six months—wheat, barley, and rye, 2 per cent. ; oats, 3 per cent. Six and less than twelve months—wheat, barley, and rye, 21 per cent. ; oats, 41 per cent. Twelve months and upwards—wheat, barley, and rye, 3 per cent. ; oats, 5 per cent. Except on Spanish wheat, barley, and oats, and on wheat and barley kiln-dried abroad, which are to have only half the above-mentioned allowances ; and none is to be made on kiln-dried rye. THE STRAWBERRY-HILL COLLECTION. —Among the loti sold on Tuesday at the sale of the Strawberry-hill collection of curiosities, was a copy of The Times newspaper, bearing date January 25, 1793, with a black border encircling the whole of the pages, as applying to the details of the execu tion of Louis XVI. contained therein. The following is a literal copy of the first paragraph of the leader on the sub ject:—" The present moment of all others is the most favourable for declaring war against France, and we have pretty sure grounds for believing that it will be proposed in parliament early next week. It has been perhaps a matter of prudence and sound policy to delay this declaration to the present moment, and we will venture to say that no war was ever undertaken with the more general concurrence of the people than that in which we are about to engage." MOST MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON LANCASTER SANDS —On Monday evening last an accident of a truly distress ing character occurred upon the Lancaster Sands. Two persons were observed coming over the sands towards Hest Bank, and when arrived within a short distance of the breakwater they appeared to be in distress, the tide flowing about them. On seeing this the good people at Hest Bank rau down to the sands, and having procured a boat pushed off to the help of the unfortunate men. Gestures were made with a view of inducing the poor fellows to fall back (as the sand banked higher in their rear) and wait for succour, but either mistaking these instructions or being over anxious to reach the boat, they made towards it and unhappily sank amid deep waters never to rise again in life. One had stripped off part of his apparel, in order, as we suppose, to swim, but it does not appear that he was able. Search was made, on the reflux of the tide, for the bodies, but they were not found till next mornin g . A letter was found in the pockets of one of the men, addressed to some parties in Li verpool.—Lancaster Guardian. A CHURCH BUILT IN A DAY. — The parishioners of Rhynie, who had been denied by the lordly possessor of the soil a rood of land on which to erect a tabernacle for the worship of God, at length, recently, through the kindness of Mr. H. L. Lumsden, secured a resting-place o❑ the confines of the adjoining parish of Auchindoir. All that now re mained to be done Was to get the sanction of the General Assembly ; and this was given in a way that marked the in dignation of that venerable body at oppression and its sym pathy with the oppressed. The 13th of June will be a day long remembered at Rhynie. At one o'clock in the morning a party in charge of thirty horses proceeded to the woods to bring the timber that had been cut for the purpose. Others repaired to the hills to fetch the stones that had been made ready, and by the time the materials reached the appointed site, a large company of masons and carpenters from the parish of Rhynie and surrounding district had assembled. Every one seemed animated with an ardour in the cause. Their labour was gratuitous—their enthusiasm knew no bounds. The erection rapidly proceeded, and by eight o'clock in the evening a large, well-executed, and commodious church was nearly prepared for the assembling of a congre gation. The work was altogether marvellous, and to none was it more so than to those who had hitherto triumphed over the parishioners of Rhynie. The server of interdicts was upon the spot, but the interdict itself was wanting. — Edinburgh Witness. SUPPOSED WRECK OF THE PRESIDENT.—The papers far and near are republishing a letter written by a gentleman at Havannah, giving an account of a wreck encountered at sea by a Spanish captain, in July, 1841, somewhere in the neigh bourhood of the Grand Banks. The Spanish captain went on board the wreck, which is thus described :—He says it must have been a very large vessel; and the things that first attracted his attention were two large columns of wood (so he called them), not very far apart, painted black about nine feet from the bottom, and then white about three feet to where they were burned off, and that there were marks of fire also on the part left standing. These " columns" pro jecting above the rest of the wreck, had the appearance at a distance of two small sails. He also saw on the bottom of the vessel just under water, several very large timbers, secured strongly together by iron clamps and braces of very extraordinary size, and from these concluded that it was the wreck of a large steamer, and that this bed was made to sup port the boilers. He also says, that the floor timbers of the vessel were very heavy, some two feet square, as near as he can remember, and very near together, not more than four or five inches apart ; the ends of these, as well as the floor ing or ceiling in most places, were very much charred. The head and stern were gone, at least the extreme parts, and he could not tell how long she was originally, but he paced the part remaining by stepping from one timber to another, and thinks to the best of his recollection it was about 120 feet long. He examined the wreck carefully to see if he could find any paper or article by which to indentify her, but could find nothing, and he tried to pry off a part of one of the iron braces, but w ithout success. He further says, that the wreck at the water's edge was about 35 to 40 feet wide, as near as he can recollect, and that the copper on her bottom was still in a good state of preservation. it is presumed that this was the hull of the lost President ; but we entertain no doubt, on the contrary, that it was the same wreck so often seen and reported—not a steam-ship, and not the Presi dent. The conclusive proof that it was not the President is afforded by the absence of all machinery, that could neither burn nor in any way he separated from the hull so long as the latter held together. It might be broken, and parts of it might go overboard, but large portions would remain, even were the hull to capsize. But there is other evidence also. inches apart. floor timbers . of the President were not four apart. One of us was on board the President while she was on the stocks, and saw the whole system of her construction. The flooring was of solid oak with five kelsons, four of which, were double and very large. Every piec e of timber was se cured by iron braces and also with wooden trusses. Her extreme length, over all, was 27 0 feet ; len g th on deck 215 feet ; breadth, inside of the guards, 41 f eet. These dimen sions d o not at all agree with those reported by the Spanish captain. —New York Gornmercial Advertiser.

MIDDLENVICH CORN MARKET, JUNE 21. s. d. s. d Wheat, old, v. 751 b, ----- to new Oats, old, T. 501 b new 10 o 10 6 3 9 - Barley Beans, 601 b MANCHESTER CORN MARKET. JUNE 25 Since our last we have had showers almost daily, which, with intervals of warm sun, have refreshed vegetation and removed the apprehension of injury, especially to the Spring crops, which a longer continuance of drought would have occasioned. The trade in the interval has been flat, and sales of each article have been practicable only in retail quantities for present consumption. The arrivals of foreign Wheat to Liverpool are very heavy, as will be seen on reference to the list of imports ; of other articles they arc moderate. Duties on Wheat, Oats, and Rye declined one step yesterday, with a chance of a further reduction upon Wheat next week. The Liverpool market yesterday was quite as firm as could be expected, considering the pressure occasioned by the heavy arrival of foreign Wheat. At Wakefield, also, the value of English Wheat underwent little alteration. At this day's market Wheat and Flour met a slow sale ; best qualities of each nearly support ing the rates of our last, while inferior descriptions are offered on rather lower terms. In Oats and Oatmeal our quotations must be regarded as almost nominal; and the business doing in either is of the most trifling character, 30s being an outside quotation for good runs of Meal, and 3s 3d to 3s 4d per bushel for Oats. Beans sell slowly, and the turn cheaper. Malt without alteration. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 24 Duties for the ensuing week are reduced on Foreign W heat to 10s., on Oats to Gs., on Rye to 9s. 6d. per quarter, on Flour to 6s. per barrel, and on Colonial Rye to ls. per quar ter ; remaining upon all other produce, both Foreign and Colonial, the same as last week. _ . The arrivals of English, Irish, and Foreign Wheat into this port, within the last three days, are unusually abundant, forming together 31,589 quarters, with a fair quantity of Flour, and a moderate supply of Oats, but scarcely any Grain of other descriptions, and no Oatmeal whatever during that period. In consequence of the foregoing large import of Wheat, the continuance of showery weather, the daily improving state of all the growing crops, the absence of speculative operations, and moderate sales only to consumers, the trade here was rather inactive between Tuesday and to-day ; im pressed, however, with the opinion that the principal bulk of the supplies from the Mediterranean are already on hand, holders evinced a tolerable degree of firmness, and refusing to submit to lower terms, the general currency of our last circular remained unvaried. At our market this morning, upon a moderate demand for Wheat from our local millers, and some parcels having been taken by country dealers, importers continued to adhere steadily to the current rates orruesday, which, for all good and fair qualities especially, were fully maintained. Flour was in limited request, and the turn cheaper ; but not sufficiently so to reduce our quotations. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, appeared to excite very little notice, and each may be considered a shade lower in value. Oats, the holders of which showing more urgent desire to realize than of late, have declined ld to 2d per (nibs, and few buyers appear at this abatement.—Oatmeal, being much neglected to day, was nominally 6d to is cheaper. In the bonded market, the only sales reported since Tues day are 1202 qrs. of Egyptian Beans, at 225. per qr., and 500 barrels of Orleans Flour, at 28s. per barrel.

Rice.-200 casks of Carolina sold at 30s for fine, and 26s per cwt. for seconds. Nothing done in East India. Rum.—The sales in British Plantation are limited, and without change in prices ; a few puns. Bengal, with certificate, averaging 31 per cent. 0.P., have brought 2s 6d per gallon. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JUNE 24. We had to-day a good supply of all articles of the trade except Barley. Fine fresh Wheat brought the prices of last week, other sorts were in very limited request and to effect sales lower prices must have been taken. Barley being scarce made rather more money. Beans sold slowly and were the turn cheaper. Oats and Shellings dull sale, and we must quote the former id per stone and the latter Is per load lower. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JUNE 27 The currency of new Butter may be rated 2s per cwt. higher since this day se'nnight ; at which, we experience an improved demand. Favourite brands of Belfast and South Country Butter, are saleable at 82s to 83s,—and as it is understood that there are several extensive orders in the various Irish markets, on London account,—we may not expect heavy imports to this place, for some time to come, and consequently look for steady prices. Pickled Butter Bus per cwt. Provisions unaltered. Bacon 46s to 475, and tolerably brisk. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 24 Although the supply of Beasts at market was limited, the fresh arrivals being chiefly composed of 90 hoined and polled Scots, by a steamer from Aberdeen, the Beef trade was in a very sluggish state and in some few instances a decline of 2d per Blbs was sub mitted to by the salesmen, to effect a clearance. The number of Sheep brought forward was moderate, while the sale for them was slow, at the rates. Prime small Lambs sold firmly, other kinds slowly, at unaltered currencies. No arrivals from the Isle of Wight. Upwards of 300 Calves were received per railway from the west of England, owing to which the Veal trade was dull, at barely stationary prices. In Pigs scarcely anything was doing. Mitch Cows moved off slowly at from . XI6 to £2O los each. By the quantities of 81bs, sinking the offal. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. JUNE 24 Although we have had a continuance of stormy weather since Monday, particularly last night, we / are unable to announce any provement in the Wheat trade; the supplies of English have been limited in the extreme, and, being held firmly, realised Monday's prices. Old free foreign is much neglected, but the new finds buyers on fully as good terms. There was a little inquiry for bonded, but the transactions are of a trifling amount, without im provement in value. Spring Corn in all descriptions is dull at Monday's quotations, and Oats must be written 6d cheaper. The demand in bond has almost entirely subsided. Arrivals this Week. —English, Wheat, 3,110 qrs; Barley, 500 qrs; Cats, 6,270 qrs; Flour, 3,180 sacks, Irish, Oats, 11,42 S qrs. Foreign, Wheat, 26,580 qrs; Oats, 3,130 qrs. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. JUNE 24. The demand to-day has been to the extent of 3,000 bales. The sales of the week are 26,540 bales, of which 2,150 are for export, and 1,400 on speculation. From the sluggish ap pearance of the market so large a business was not anticipa ted. We make our quotations generally -id. per lb. lower than last week, and the market closes very quiet and de pressed. COTTON MARKET, JUNE 27 In Cotton we are entirely without change; the market is ex• ceedingly flat and dull, nevertheless prices are firm, and buyers cannot do much better than they could a month ago. The amount of business on Saturday was 4000 bales ; to.day about the same quantity, all to the trade. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT. The accounts from the manufacturing districts continue to be most discouraging, and exert, as might be expected, a prejudicial influence upon the market. The demand has been confined to the wants of the trade, and for export to a moderate extent; middling to fair American have declined d per lb.; and such has been the difficulty of effecting sales in the very ordinary qualities of Upland, that in those descriptions a reduction of id per lb. has been in some cases submitted to. The common kinds of Surat, on the other hand, have become comparatively scarce, and have realized rather higher prices. Brazil and Egyptian are without change. The bu siness for export consists of 2000 American, 120 Surat and 30 Per nambuco, and on speculation of 1400 American.
