seldom perused this mapzine lively interest as we have done this month, froM the abun dance of information it furnishes, and the general excellence the of the contributions. One article especially, a `• Memoir of late Sir Alexander Burnes," will richly repay the time spent in a perubal. ^ The unhappy fate of this extraordinarily clever man is so fresh in every persons mind, thatany particulars re lating to him will be sought after with avidity. The memoir in question is well written. The review of eastern news is a complete recital of all that is taking place in that quarter. " The Memoirs of a Griffin" are amusing, and the ," Diary of a Surgeon" is full of anecdote and pleasant recollections. A paper entitled " Sketches of the Overland Journey," de tails the particulars of a visit to Mount Sinai. The author, who rejoices in the name of " Smith," does not appear to have enjoyed himself. He gives but a lachrymose account of his excursion. " The Recollections of the Burmese War" are valuable as matters of history. The communication respecting the " Affghan Expedition" puts the affair in its true light. The opinions of the writer are well deserving of consideration. Taken altogether, this month's number is particularly worth attention. Luther, a Poem. By Robert Montgomery, M.A., Author of the " Omnipresence of the Deity," &c. London : Francis Baisler, 124, Oxford-street. The name and fame of the reverend author of " Luther" are too well known to the world to require that we should enter here into any examination, or express any opinion, of his peculiar genius. That Mr. Montgomery is a poet, and a gifted one, the reading public has long ago been constrained to acknowledge. The popularity which bis past productions have enjoyed—notwithstanding the circumstance that the peculiar and lofty ground which his genius has chosen to tread is not one which the searcher after the empty breath of fame, merely, would have sought—is a sufficient voucher that his mind and his imagination are of a sterling order, and that he possesses in no ordinary degree " the vision and the fa culty divine." And yet we are compelled to express our conviction that the lover of poetry—the reader who has flown to the perusal of " Luther" as to that of a finished poem — will lay it down with feelings something akin to disappoint ment. The impression formed upon the mind of such a one, however much be may admire the beauties which are scat tered through it, will be, that it is not such an effort as is calculated of itself to stamp its author as a poet—a mas ter of his ennobled and ennobling art. " Luther" is not, in fact, a pow--a whole. Though filled with the riches of the poet's soul—glittering with priceless gems, and displaying throughout great depth of thought and imagination, conveyed laitipilisioued and occasionally gorgeous language—it wants that entireness and plan which have ever been regarded as the characteristics necessary to constitute a great work. We say this in no disparagement to Mr. Montgomery's eminent ability ; we have no inclination to drag into sight mere artis tical deficiencies ; but it is essential to the due preservation of the established reputation of the poet, that his present effort should be viewed as what it is in reality—a series of pictures illustrative of the life and character of our great Reformer—and not as a poem of the same classes his former efforts, "The Omnipresence of the Deity," "The Messiah," and " Satan." Viewed in this character, we are fully warranted in accord ing to " Luther" our unqualified admiration. In the effort to place before the public the career of this illustrious and wonderful man, Mr. Montgomery has been eminently suc cessful ; and the Christian world and, above all, the Protes tant world, owe to him for this noble effort a debt of grati tude which we trust it will not be slow to repay. In the course of his performance of the work which he has under taken, he has not only " married to immortal verse" the career of the great apostle of the Reformation, but he has shown that he possesses reach and strength of mind to appre ciate both the character of that extraordinary man and the magnitude of the great work itself, which, under the divine prompting, it was his fate to be the instrument of achieving for the eternal happiness of mankind. We shall endeavour to place before our readers a few spe cimens of the style in which Mr. Montgomery has executed his task ; and first we extract a description of the appearance of Luther on the memorable occasion of the Diet of Worms. But, there be stands !—in superhuman calm Concenter'd and sublime : round him, pomp And blaze imperial; haughty eyes, and tongues Whose tones are tyranny, in vain attempt The heaven-born quiet of his soul to move ; Crown'd with the grace of everlasting truth A more than monarch among kings he stood : And, while without the ever-deep'ning mass Of nrirm'ring thousands on the windows watch'd The torchlight g leaming through the crimson'd glass Of that throng d hall, where TRUTH on trial was, Seldom on earth did ever sun go down, Or evening mantle o'er a grander scene. There, priests and barons, counts and dukes were met, Landgraves and margraves, earls, electors, knights, And Charles the Splendid, in the burning'pride Of pr incely youth, with Empires at his feet; And there—the Miner's Son, to match them all! With black robe belted round his manly waist, - Before that bar august he stood serene, By self dominion reiniegdown his soul.' Melancthon wept, and Spalatinus gazed With breathless•wonder on that wondrous Man ; While, mute and motionless, a grim array Of priests and monks, in combination dire, On Luther fasten'd their most blood-hound gaze Of bigotry : but not one rippling thought disturb'd The calm of heaven on his commanding face. Meek, but majestic—simple, but sublime In aspect, thus he braved the awe of Rome With brow unshrinking, and with eyes that flash'd As if the spirit in each glance were sheath'd. And then, with voice that seem'd a soul in sound Made audible, be pled the Almighty's cause In words almighty as the cause he pled, THE BIBLE'S !—God's religion, not the priest's, By craft invented, and by lucre saved. For this, life, limb and liberty he vow'd To sacrifice; though earth and hell might rage, Not pope, nor canon, council nor decree, Would shake him ; from the throne of that resolve, By fiend nor angel would his heart be hurl'd • Truth and his Conscience would together fight, The world 'gainst them—and they against the world ! And then, with eyeballs flashing intellectual fire , Full in the face of that assembly roll'd The fearless Monk those ever-famous words— " God help me! Here I stand alone. Amen!" And let all ages that " Amex " repeat, For it is worthy ; angels might the word Have echoed, and th eternal arches rung A response, as it roll'd from Luther's lip, Solemn and deep, and with stupendous fate Attended,—since The Truth was then uplift, The Cross defended, and the Bible crown'd With vict'ry ; when alone the Monk of God Rallied his spirit into high resolve, And 'gainst the Pope, the Devil, and The World, Terror, and time, and man's ingratitude, Fearless as Stephen, like a martyr stood, — Firm as The ROCK on which his faith was built. In a different style from this powerful and yet not over. ornate description is the following chaste and beautiful pas sage upon the mood of Luther whilst confined in the fortress of Wartburg : Bat Nature bath her sad and silent moods, Her solemn counterparts to serious man ; And oft, at sunset, when pale autumn sigh'd Late a lone spirit, wailing through the woods Of Wartburg, Luther mourn'd 'mid falling leaves And flowers dejected, till the dew-fall 'gan To whiten round him, and his boding mind Took from the season types of sadd'ning power ; But most at midnight, when the moon array'd , The inspiration of her pallid beam O'er plain and mountain, from his harrow'd sleep The exile rose, and through the window-grate Of his high turret, o'er the woods and dew-white fields, And cold earth slumb'ring in the glassy air. Gazed in tranced thought, through many a tongueless hour; Or, rapt in dreams, his radient eyeballs roll'd Their glance of awe along the glowing heavens, Mat Scripture bright, whose syllables are stars !) And from those orbs, oracularly bright, Drew meanings holy, intimations high, And truths beyond astronomy to preach ; Por in on worlds by POWEK UNSEEN upheld, There shined a symbol of the Church secured, — In mercy shielded, yet by myst'ry saved. *min, In the spirit-stirringchapter and-noble e ntitled th e Destinies of Ro me , we are presented with the following elo quent aspiration :-.- Oh, for a Luther, withlins• And voice by Scripture dreadless eye, n Antichrist , ! cnoently loud, To front the braze The Vatican, with a n itei and face y and je lt u ar s it m ra u y ;ter'd lies Its marsball'd doctrines, By jargon polish'd and b „so might we bare the heart of blue s ifle n u n' R^ (l lme, And rouse brave England's execrati ng Till back the priesthood to her den re voice "fill Pope and Pop'ry, with a palsy emit, ; ,&usl scared by Scripture, might for ever shrink 'ro ewar d gloom, to convents, and to cells, Booted by Nature , and by freemen hurl'd At once f ro n t Virtue's and from Reason's throne.

ItsIYCCTIOM IN THE PRICE OF BEEP.—At Tewkesi4urY, on Tuesday Asa, beef was reported 1 3 / 4 d. per lb. lower, and at Bristol buaineas was nearly at a stand-still, great numbers of cattle being ' 164 0 back unsold. The Sun calculates that the ministerial tasif will have the effect of permanently lowering the price of;tur,tcherre meat full twopence per pound, arid seeing that the Marna average price is but Gd. per lb., this argues a reduction of .4 per cent. At Hyde, on Satur day. Irish, ork was retailed to the consumer at 4d. per lb. The LATE ACOLVENT AT WOMOVELL'S MENAGERIE. — Mr. Martin, the unfortenate gentleman whose arm was so dreadfully lacerated by •the tiger in Wo*Fg.ll's menagerie, at Mid Lent fair, Stamford., .I . ,tdred last Sattykr from the .efl!,cts of his wounds. half-past 11 on th that city the gratifying intelligence of th donia. . Excitement eas at its height, and thong an hour the whole town was in motion. The Acadia was welcomed with reiterated cheering at Cunard's Wharf, which shewed the interest in the fate of the Caledonia, and the sympathy occasioned by her unaccountable. absence. The Unicorn, which sailed from Halifax with the English mail at half-past four on the evening of the Acadia's arrival there, spoke the latter vessel off the harbour, an&L:ccompanied her back. She proceeded to Boston with the Acadia's mails, and the Acadia remained at Halifax, received her coals, and , left for this port on the 12th instant, at two p.m., and has accomplished the passage therefrom in little better than twelve days. We have no papers from the United States later than those brought by the previous arrivals. Considerable excitement had been caused in Nova Scotia amongst commercial men, after the Acadia's arrival, by the proposition of a new scale of duties on foreign produce. It is argued in the papers that we have received, that, by re ducing these protective duties, without demanding a corre sponding reduction of the duties on British produce in the foreign market, the commerce of our colonies would suffer very materially, their carrying trade would he grievously in jured, and a most decided and impolitic advantage given to the commerce and shipping of the American Union. The subject had attracted the earnest attention of the Pro vincial Legislature. On the 10th instant the Hon. J. B. Uniache moved for a committee to prepare an address to her Majesty to avert this evil, and with great promptitude the address was prepared. and it was adopted in the Legisla tive Council on the following evening. It was remarked, that the enterprising merchants there could never sustain their present competit►on with the foreigner if (as by the proposed scale) but 2s. 6d. a cwt. was imposed on foreig❑ dried fish, whilst the Americans taxed ours I dollar, with a like disproportion in other articles in favour of the foreigner. This important address was brought by the Acadia, for pre sentation to her Majesty. It was expected the session would close about the 18th or 19th instant. We subjoin the Acadia's log and list of passengers. It will be seen from the former that she encountered a great deal of ice during her passage homewards. LIST OF PASSENGERS.

Light breezes On Sunday afternoon the Patrick Henry, packet-ship, which left that port on the Bth instant, arrived here. All the papers of the Bth instant contain an account of what they bead, " Another .11PLeod Affair. It appears that a man, named John Sheridan Hogan, a native of Ireland, but a resi dent of Upper Canada, had been arrested at Lockport, the place where M`Leod was arrested, on a charge of having par ticipated in the burning of the Caroline steamer. He was taken before Mr. Leonard, police justice of the village. The justice refused, however, to interfere. Hogan was, notwith standing, sent to gaol, and was to have been carried next morning, on a writ of habeas corpus, before Judge Ransom. In the morning, however, according to the information re ceived at New York on the eve of the sailing of the Patrick Henry, and which Captain Delano has obligingly communi cated to us, the prisoner was not to be found : he had made his escape, either by stratagem, or, what is more probable, by connivance, during the night, and crossed the border into Canada. A very fortunate conclusion to an affair which, like that of M`Leod, might have given much trouble, and created much anxiety. Whilst the excitement caused by the arrest of Hogan was at its height, the citizens of Lockport disco vered that the commander of the party who had burned the Caroline, Sir Allan M`Nah, had actually passed through the state, on his way to embark for England. " Over one hun dred of the citizens turned out," says the Herald," mounted horses, and put out on the road to Albany, with the hope of overtaking him." Sir Allan little dreamt the risk he ran from these creatures of excitement. Snug in London, he can afford to laugh at their madness. The New York money-market is described as "getting easier." Tire offerings of the banks had fallen off, while the ablity of the institutions had increased. First-class paper could be got at 7to 9 per cent. per annum. The stock market was heavy, and prices were declining. The operations for foreign exchange had been large, but the rates were in favour of the American. The imports of specie were greater than the exports. On London the rate was 1074 to 108 ; on Paris, sf. 28. 1 2 c. to sf. 30e. ; on Amsterdam 391 to 40 ; on Hamburgh, 364 ; and on Bremen, 76 to 77. The Resumption Bill had not passed the Legislature of Pennsylvania. A conference was holding respecting it ; and apprehensions were expressed lest it should, after all, be re jected. The banks, meanwhile, were preparing to meet the requirements of the bill, should it pass the legislature. Tire money market was, in consequence, " tight." Prices of stocks generally were much depressed. Mr. Nicholas Biddle, Mr. Joseph Copperthwait, and Mr. J. Andrews had applied to the Court of Common Pleas for a writ of habeas corpus, which had been allowed. The hear ing was fixed for the Bth inst. The decision of the court in the cases of these individuals would, of course, be the same as that in the case of Mr. Jaudon. New Orleans had been the scene of a bank panic. The notes of the Atchafalaya, Orleans, Exchange, and Improve ment Banks had been refused at the counters of all the other institutions ; and, as those comprised nearly all the whole circulation of the city and the state, the shock was imme diately felt throughout the community. The New Orleans papers, of the 21th ult., state, that Cap tain Andrews, of the schooner Zatriskie, seven days from Matamoras, had reported, that, as he was about leaving the city, an express arrived, stating that a body of about five hundred Mexicans had crossed over into Texas and fallen in with a Texan force, when, after a short engagement, the Mexicans were completely routed. Such was the slaughter reported, it was said that but two Mexicans escaped with their lives. Captain A. did not remain to obtain the particu lars of the engagement. 141711114 RY NOTICEB. 4i alk Jounial.

The commercial affairs of Sydney continued in a most deranged state. Several commercial houses had failed, and among them the firm of Gore and Co., for £165,000. An impression prevailed that the worst was still to come. Goods had been sold by auction at the ruinous loss of 50 per cent. upon the cost price ; and yet then the demand was inconsiderable, as purchasers were waiting for still greater sacrifices. To add to the melancholy prospects of the colony, the crops were burnt up for want of rain, and there was no grass for the sheep. A New Zealand journal says, that some years of prosperity must pass over before New South Wales can fully recover from the distressed condition into which a variety of causes have forced her. We quote the following from one of these papers :—" We have seen letters from Sydney, by the Matilda, stating, that labouring men were being engaged at 10d. a-day. and rations. This is £l2 per annum, and the cost of the rations is about £26; together £3B per annum. Anothes letter stated, that one employer had.engaged ten men for £l7O per annum, or £l7 a-year, and rations at £26, making £l3 per annum. Wages are stated to be nearly as low in Port Philip, Van Dieraian's Land, and South Australia. And even at this wretched reward for industry, it is stated to be difficult to get employment in those colonies at the present moment. We believe these rates are the lowest ever known in that part of the world, and is the strongest proof of the unhinged state of affairs in those colonies. It cannot be expected that this depression will long endure, and we hope future accounts will describe the labourer's lot to be rapidly advancing to that state which the industrious, when they are leaving home, reasonably expect to find on their arrival." The .Gazette of Upper Germany states from Frankfort that a rumour'is` current In the diplomatic circles of that place of the intention of the King of Hanover to abdicate in favour of his son. THE LATE EARL OF MUNSTER.—Tbis late lamented nobleman, who was for eighteen years vice-president of the Royal Asiatic Society, and in the last year was elected its president, in the room of the Right Hon. C. W. Wynn, took a great interest in its proceedings and frequently presided at its public meetings. On the 21st of February, 1835, in this capacity, it devolved upon him to present the honorary dip loma to the late lamented Sir Alexander (then Lieutenant) Burnes, which he did in a very effective manner, whilst to the last he was on terms of affectionate intercourse with this distinguished and enterprising officer, whose melancholy fate seemed latterly to operate strongly on his mind. During his residence in India, which was only three years, he attained a very considerable knowledge of the Arabic, Sanscrit, and Hindostanee languages and literature, and he has, for some years past, been engaged in a very extensive work, illustrative of the military history of the IVlaliornedan nations, from the rise of their founder to the present time, and the prosecution of which continued to occupy his attention until the last moment of his melancholy end. For this purpose he had collected_ a very large and valuable library of Asiatic and mit.y E of gyitan works, and his last publication was a list, in Arabic, and historical works, which, with accompanying letters, lithographed in English and Latin, he disseminated amongst the various learned societies and individuals, not only in Europe, but throughout the East. his overland journey fro m India to Europe, across the isthmus of Suez, in 1818. when he brought and Sindh war , was home the des return despatches of the Mahratta one of the first in that direction, and undertaken at a time when he travelled thro ug h Egypt, the celebrated Pyra m id s o f the route w a s very perilous and hazardous.

'COM TAX es•n9d(lent of the It cannot be denied, versally disliked, and s will be but temporary. to obtain a tnod a distin ci;nbhryhr;)Bl.) however, that the income tax is uni tbmitted to as a necessary evil, which Numerous parties are exerting them :licatton of it. The directors of the in particular, are strongly urging govern :don between permanent and terminable , .avourable to the latter. The Times has taken up _.use of these annuitants v%ith considerable vehemence; .d no doubt there is some plausibility in the views urged in Alen. favour. But Sir Robert Peel, aware of the endless claims that any attempt to distinguish between different sources of income would call forth, has set his face-against any alteration of his plan in this respect. The fact is, the modifications urged upon him are impracticable, even were they just and expedient in principle. Partial interests, and individual feeling may exclaim against the tax ; but, as it is impossible to deny the necessity for it, Sir Robert Peel will depend upon the common sense and sound. judgment of the country protecting him against the clamour of faction and self-interest. There is one circumstance which deserves to be remarked in regard to the nature and extent of the opposition Sir Robt. Peel has experienced. The classes on which the tax will chiefly fall are those on whom the newspapers mainly rely for their circulation and their advertisements. I don't mean to say that the Times, Herald, or even the Morning Chronicle, and Globe, are moved greatly by this consideration, but it is obvious that the fact to which 1 refer gives the objectors to the tax a mighty advantage in making themselves heard, and, accordingly, the columns of these journals are crammed with the most paltry, shabby, and niggardly complaints against the proposed tax, while, of course, nobody thinks of defend ing it, as nobody has an interest in contributing to the re venue, for the mere patriotism of the thing. Depend upon it, however, that the public feeling is not so generally or so strongly opposed to the tax as the tone of the journals just named might induce many to suppose. You will see that, in a day or two, the Times, Herald, and some other respectable papers, who deem it politic just now to let the malcontents have their swing, will come round and support the premier's plan. The new tariff has given almost unmixed satisfaction : the mercantile classes generally consider the three per cent. on income a very cheap sacrifice for so great a boon. Yet it seems in other circles to be utterly forgotten that the advan tages proposed under this head would necessarily fall to the ground if the income tax were to be given up. This is just another proof of the too prevalent morality that it is all fair to cheat the revenue, a maxim upon which the opposition to the new tax is based in a great many quarters. The machi nery to be called into operation by the new tax was explained by Sir Robert on Friday evening, and though it is impossible to strip it entirely of its obnoxious character, the plan seems as little oppressive, and as effective, as possible. Whatever may be the feeling out' of doors, there is little doubt as to the fate of the measure in parliathent. If the opinion of the country was clearly against it, no doubt mem bers would yield greatly to the pressure from without; but according to present appearances, the opposition is partial and in no respect national. Sir Robert Peel will therefore be supported by a majority in the House of Commons beyond all doubt—the more strenuously that Lord John Russell and his supporters have made the income tax a party question, and put the issue between the sham budget of the wings and the financial plans of Sir Robert Peel. There is no rational doubt, therefore, that the scheme in its main features will be carried through both houses in due time. It is possible that an alteration may be introduced so far favotirable to profes sional and other incomes not derived from property and capital, in the form of a deduction, as a saving or reserved fund for casualties. I know such a proposition has been talked of and favourably regarded in influential quarters. But the point is one of great practical difficulty. ECCLESIASTICAL RESIDENCES The following is an abstract of the principal clauses of the bill brought into the House of Lords by the Archbishop of Canterbury : Clause 1. Provides that whenever it shall appear to be expe dent to relieve any bishop, having more episcopal houses of residence than one, from any of such houses ; or to provide any bishop with a more convenient house of residence ; or to add to, alter, improve, or take down and rebuild, the house of residence belonging to his see; it shall be lawful, by the au thority provided in an act passed in the session of parliament, held in the sixth and seventh years of the reign of his late majesty, with the consent under the hand and episcopal seal of such bishop to make such arrangements as may by such authority be deemed most expedient, for selling and con veying, to such person or body corporate, arid for such con sideration as may be approved by the like authority, any epis copal house of residence then belonging to the see of such bishop, or for taking down the same or any part thereof, and selling the site or materials thereof (as the circumstances may render expedient), and for applying the proceeds of any such sale towards the adding to, altering, improving, or taking down and rebuilding of any remaining house belonging to such see, or towards the building of a new episcopal house of resi dence for the same see or any other site to be approved by the like authority, or to such other purpose and in such manner as shall appear to 11.?, most conducive to the permanent benefit of such see ; and that so much of the said act as relates to the providing of any bishop with a more suitable and conve nient residence shall be extended so as also to include and apply to such adding to, altering, improving, or taking down and rebuilding. 3.

THE BENCH AND THE BAR The following scene, which we copy from the Southern Reporter, is vividly descriptive of similar occurrences which have taken place at almost all the assize towns, between the Right Hon. lkfroy, and the gentlemen of the bar. The case upon trial at the time the conversation detailed below took place was an action upon an I 0 U for the amount of £lOO. The case for the plaintiff having closed, Mr. Bennett, on the .)art of the bar, hoped his lordship would adjourn the court. His Lordship said that Mr. Bennett could not be in earnest to adjourn the court in the middle of a case. Mr. Bennett said they were quite exhausted by so length ened a sitting ; they could not do justice to their clients by proceeding at so late an hour (seven o'clock.) His Lordship replied that it was a most improper system to adjourn the court in the middle of a case of this description. They had only got through one case during the day, and he would, therefore, decline adjourning the court. Mr. Bennett stated that if that was his lordship's decision, he had to tell him, on the part of the bar, that they found it quite impossible to proceed with the business, and be pre pared for the business on the following day. The Court would not adjourn. Mr. Bennett.—Well, my lord, if you go on this way you will be the death of me, and you will have to provide for my wife and children. His Lordship would adjourn the court if he thought no inconvenience would be the consequence ; but, under' the' circumstances, he would protest against being dictated:to by the bar. Several members of the bar-then retired, and Mr. Collins was about following them, when His Lordship inquired if he had any witnesses to produce for the defendant ? Mr. Collins.—Yes, my lord, but I must respectfully de cline producing them until tomorrow. • Court.—l see how the matter is now; and, as I am deter mined to uphold the dignity of the bench, I must decline being dictated to, and request that you call on the witnesses; otherwise I will dispose of the case, and then let the courts above decide who it was that acted properly. Mr. Collins.—Your lordship must excuse me acting further in the case; for I must be guided by the conduct of my senior brothers at the bar, and retire. Messrs. Collins, Henn, Bennett, and Freeman, then left the court, and the remainder of the proceedings were con ducted by the agents at both sides. The defendant was examining several witnesses, when it was intimated by the jury that they were perfectly satisfied with the evidence produced, and that the defendant might close his case. The issue was sent up, and a verdict returned for the de fendant with 6d. costs. We understand that a meeting of the bar was held on Tuesday morning, in the bar-room, in obedience to a sum• mons from Mr. Bennett, Q.C., Father of the Monster Bar, at which a resolution was passed in approval of the conduct of Mr. Collins, Q. C., on the previous evening, hereby censuring the course taken•by the learned baron (Lefroy.)— Cork Examiner. EMIGRATION. — The expatriation of artisans from the ma nufacturing districts to America continues unabated. In ad dition to extensive preparations for emigration of large num bers from Ashton-under-Lyne, Strines, Marple, Mellor, &c., we may mention, that, at the beginning of this week, an accredited individual proceeded to Liverpool from Comp stall Bridge, to ensure the passage of sixty emigrants, by the deposit of £1 for each individual.—Manchester Guardian. THE WEATHER AND THE CORN TRADE.—The weather has, since our last, been characteristic of the month, very high winds having prevailed, and partial though rather heavy showers having fallen ; in the neighbourhood of the metropo lis it rained hard on Thursday night : our country letters make no mention, however, of much wet. During the last day or two, the atmosphere has been highly absorbent, and there is now little superfluous moisture in the laud; indeed, most soils are in admirable working condition : rapid pro gress has, therefore, been made with sowing and other out door labours, and this department of husbandry is in a state of considerable forwardness. Though the air has been keen and piercing, the thermometer has not, we believe, sunk be low freezing point, and vegetation has consequently received no injury from the cold. The accounts respecting the ap pearance of the young wheat plant continue, on the whole, satisfactory. We have lately taken some pains to ascertain how farmers are at present situated with regard to stocks : the accounts we have been able to gather prove, however, so various, that we fear to place much reliance upon them. From the very general complaints of deficiency of last year's crop, and the liberal manner in which supplies have since harvest been brought forward by the growers, it may, we think, be safely inferred, that the quantity of wheat still in the farmers' hands must be smaller than is usual at this time of year, and that a large portihn of foreign will yet be re quired before another crop can be secured. Of the 2,500,000 quarters of wheat imported in September, there is now not much more than 500,000 quarters remaining in the kingdom, whilst the bonded stock but little exceeds that quantity. From the South of Europe little more can be expected, un less prices advance here c onsiderably . ; and, though th ere i s no doubt that all the whea t there is to spare at the diffe ren t Baltic ports will find its way to this countr y , there seems no great chance of our being o verwhelmed with foreign, even under the new corn bill—at least , for one y ear ; but its effects will unquestionably (after it has been some time in operation) be to lower prices here. Little p ro g ress has been made during the week in getting this measure through parliament, and i t is yet uncertain how soon it may come into !orce. The wheat at Mark decidedn t'a m l 9 l n w d h a i v c I l i a took h a place p i a n r te the nearly all the leading provi ncial markets held in the early part of the week, the value of this g rain has d suffered further abate t Nark Lane aPdidlciteion of a trade ; a n d- at n,e • l languor to the men Expres.s.

From the period of his con demnation, the Unhappy man showed the deepest signs of contrition, acknowledged the justice of his sentence, and longed for the arrival of the period when his sufferings would' terminate. He was repeatedly visited by the chaplain, the Rev. - M. Butler, and has been - a willing recipient of religious instruction. Jones retired to rest about midnight, and arose at six o'clock. The rites of the church:were administered to hint, and at eight o'cloCk he was conducted to the press rooin, where he was heavily ironed. On his passage to the scaffold, he asked to see his grave: and was conducted to the yard in which it was dug; he surveyed it with great calmness, and threw a letter into it, requesting that it might not be opened. When the rope was put round his neck, he said to the hangman, " Not quite so tight, if you please ;" and then the poor man affectionately shook hands with all around him. The scene was most affecting ' • but Jones appeared the least moved of any. At the drop be addressed the spectators, prayed aloud for several minutes, shook hands with the exe cutioner, and gave the signal for the fatal launch. He ap peared to suffer very little. Workmen are engaged in sinking an Artesian well in Pic cadilly, London, just by St. James's Church. THE NEW TARIFF.—At the sheep fair held at Caister, in Lincolnshire, last Friday, good hogs sold at 30s. to 355. per head, which at the corresponding fair last year would have brought 40s. to 455. very prime 50s. On the .

COUNT'S( MAGISTRACY.—The two senior magistrates for the county of Lancaster, are, Lord Skelrnersdale and Sir T. D. Hesketh, Bart., the first having qualified in 1800, the second in 1806. The whole number of magistrates in the county is 313, made up as follows :—in Lonsdale Hundred, 43 ; Amonnderness, 18 ; Blackburn, 38 ; Leyland, 21 ; West Derby, 81 ; Salford 109. _ THE ELECTROTYPE A PPLIED TO MAKE COUNTERFEIT Corst:—Base coin is extensively in circulation in Worcester. Pence and halfpence, in particular, have been successfully counterfeited, having every appearance of genuine coin, by the chemical application of a solution of copper on a lead body. The deceit may be easily detected by rubbing tbe sus pected pieces'against any rough substance, by which the coat ing will be removed. EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE. —One of the soldiers of the Guards in the, St. George's Barracks loaded his firelock with ball cartridge, just after the drums had ceased last evening, while four other men were in the room, and com menced firing, whether at either of them it is not possible to say, but immediately on his,doing so the others most im properly left the room, instead of disarming him, and he continued firing for some time, until the whole of his am munition (12 rounds) was expended. One of the shots seared a man who happened to be near. During this time he was so furiously excited that nobody durst enter the room ; he then threw, himself from the room be was in, that being a top room, into the barrack-yard, clearing most mi raculously the iron railing, and is now,carried to the hospi tal, of course in a • hopeless state. He had been drinking apparently very little at the canteen, and had but a short time previous obtained some bread, some of which was found on the table.—Times of Thursday.—We take the fol lowing from the Times of Friday :—Thomas Hutchins is a private in the third battalion of the Ist regimenf of grenadier foot guards, now stationed in the Mews Barracks, Trafalgar- • square, and was considered the finest man in the regiment, measuring 6ft. 2 in. in height, and stout in proportion, and, when uninfluenced by liquor, was a quiet, inoffensive person; but a little drink would sometimes excite him to an extraor dinary degree, and cause him to quarrel with his comrades. On Wednesday night, at about nine o'clock, after having in dulged rather freely, he retired with three others to one of the sleeping-rooms at the top of the building for the night, where, however, he had not been many minutes before he commenced quarrelling with a man named Greene, whom he at length threatened with his vengeance, and, fearing the consequences, Greene made his escape down stairs, and informed the ser geant that Hutchins was drunk. The sergeant immediately repaired up stairs, and ordered him down to the orderly room, for the purpose of testing his sobriety. He, however, struck the sergeant under the ear with his bayonet, and slightly wounded him. Another man was slightly wounded in the face in endeavouring to rescue the sergeant, who, but for his interference, would no doubt have been murdered. All, however, rani out of the room with the exception of one man, who had got into bed, to whom Hutchins said, " You have never injured or given me any offence ; I shall not there fore hurt a hair of your head." Hutchins, however, now commenced firing at the door, imagining, no doubt, that some of them were on the other side of it. Six bullets passed through the door, which is about two inches in thickness, one of them lodging in another door at the end of the passage, which is about 12 feet in length. He also fired through the front window at the sentries in the yard, who, however, for tunately escaped. Hearing several persons coming up the stairs, he threw up the back window, and flung out his belt and pouch, and having exclaimed. " Now, you , follow me," precipitated himself from the window into the back yard, a height of about 50 - feet, when a rush was instantly made, and he was found lying upon his back in a state of in sensibility. He was immediately placed upon a stretcher, and conveyed to the barracks hospital in Rochester-row, Westminster, where he was attended by Drs. Johnson and Bellam, of the regiment, who discovered that his left arm was broken ; but the extent of injury sustained could not then be discovered. On inquiry yesterday at the hospital, it was ascertained that he had been spitting blood the whole of the day, which proceeded from the internal injuries he had re ceived, and which are of so serious a nature as to preclude all hope of his recovery. The flagstone upon which he fell was broken into several pieces, but not a spot of blood was to be seen. Hutchins is in the 28th year of his age. MONOPOLY OR NOT MONOPOLY, THAT'S THE QUESTION? —T o the innumerable instances which have been recorded of the wealth amassed by certain members of " the League," and whose svmpathising howl for the poor has gained them no little public notoriety, we wish to add another to the cata logue. The iniividual to whom we now refer is, perhaps as :noisy as the loudest we could select in his denunciations against all monopolies, landed or commercial, and yet he is himself the original proprietor of an immense manufacturing establishment within six miles of this borough, having, up war4s of 500 tenements, of one kind or other in connexion with it, which his work-people are compelled to occupy at 3s. and 3s. 6d. a week to be deducted from their wages, though scarcely one of them ever cost mo re than £7O in the erec tion ! The rent-roll alone of this individual is not less than £lOOO a year ; and when the accumulation of profit which must accrue from the labour -of 1500 pair of hands, is added we think there is little room for complaint on the score o, avarice or monopoly in o thers. —Stockport Advertiser. f THE LATE SCANDAL CASE IN PARIS.—The appeal of Mr. Lawson ? keeper of the Bedford Hotel, in Paris, against the decision of the civiftribunal, which had sentenced him to pay Mr. Cassidy a sum of 2000 f. damages, for illegal arrest, (a foreigner, even when naturalised, not enjoying the right of arresting another foreigner for a debt contracted by the lat ter,) came before the Cour Royale on the 21st instant. Our readers are already acquainted with the particulars of the scandalous affair which led to this prosecution. M. Blan chet pleaded for Mr. Lawson, that the arrest of Mr. Cassidy had caused no prejudice to his fortune or consideration ; that his client had not been actuated by malevolent intentions towards him ; that be had considered himself legally autho rised to arrest him ; and that he had been only guilty of an error. He accordingly demanded the repeal of the judgment which had condemned Mr. Lawson to 2000 f. damages. M. Da appeared on behalf of Mr. Cassidy. The court, after hearing the opinion of the attorney-general, confirmed the first sentence, as respected the illegality of the arrest, con demned Mr. Cassidy to pay to Mr. Lawson a sum of 725 f. which he owed•to Mr. Lawson, but, considering that Mr. Cassidy did not appear to have experienced any prejudice from his arrest, exonerated Mr. Lawson from the payment of the 2000 f. damages, and sentenced Mr. Cassidy to the costs. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—A monthly statement of hemp, flax, and tallow, has just appeared from the house of one of the first brokers in the trade ; and according to this, the miantity of hemp on hand is 5,194 tons, the delivery for the month 9f . February being 798, at a price of £35 to £35. 10d. for clean per ton. The stock of flax is given at 912 tons, and the delivery at 144 tons ; the price of good twelve-head flax being 48s. per ton. The stock of tallow is stated at 29,685 casks, and the delivery for February at 8,323 cash, the nearest price during that period being, as it is now, about 48s. for good P. Y. C. Compared with the same period last year, this statement shows a decline of about £3 per ton in hemp, and an increase in the value. of tallow of about 2s. per cwt. Flax appears to have undergone no varia tion.—Shipping Gazette. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE:—A singular event, attended with serious consequences, lately occurred near Chard. During the hurricane of last week, three elm trees, which stood in close companionship, were blown down in a meadow belonging to Mrs. Clarke, adjoining the Ilminster and Crew kerne roads? and on the following day some workmen were employed to remove them. One of the trees being conside rably larger than the other two, its limbs lay uppermost, and upon those of the other trees. The branches the workmen were removing, while some children were enjoying themselves with a ride on the more elastic of the branches of one of the small trees ; when, to their astonishment and alarm, the trunk which had afforded the children amusement, suddenly and swiftly rose into its wonted position, throwing two chil dren, named Cleal and Baulch, horizontally through the air, into an adjoining field, breaking the thigh of one, and the collar-bone of the other. The little sufferers are likely to --Western Luminary. recover THE CHURCH IN FRANCE. —The heads of the Catholic Church in France labour under the strongest infatuation. 1t is not enough for them to rebel against the government and attack the university ; they must also assail foreign govern meuts. The.Arehbishowg-Faris,so humble, so obsequious, endive* fir obey the dictaas of mower, when he was a can didate for the episcopal see of that capital, now presumes to give lessons to a neighbouring state. The Abbtl Affre has the effrontery to issue a manifesto against Espartero. lie takes part in the difference which has arisen between the Pope and the Cabinet of Madrid. He publishes, under the form of an instruction to the faithful of his diocese, a real diplo matic note, in which he charges the Spanish Government with conspiring against the unity of the church, and condemns beforehand a schism, which he anticipates. The French clergy was not guilty of so bold and extravagant an act at a period when it was all powerful, and the pastoral letter of M. Affre shows what it would be capable of doing should a more firm hand than that of the present cabinet not check its audacity.—Courrier Francais. COPYRIGHT BILL.--This bill, which has just been brought into the lower House of Parliament by Viscount Mahon, Sir R. H. Inglis, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. C. Howard, contains thirty-two clauses, with schedules. The third clause enacts, " That the copyright in every book which shall, after the passing of this act, be published in the lifetime of its author, shall endure for the natural life of such author, and at the time of his death, and shall be the property of each author and his •assigns ; and that the copyright in every book which shall be published after the death of its author, shall endure for the term of thirty years from the first publication thereof, and shall be the property of the proprietor of the manuscript from which such book shall be first published." The preamble of the bill is as followz :—" Whereas it is expedient to amend the laws relating to copyright, and to afford greater en couragement to the production of literary works, of lasting benefit to the world, be it enacted, &C. THE CAUSE OF MALONE V• O'CONNOR.—NENAGH, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—At eight o'clock this evening the jury delivered their verdict in the great property cause of John Malone, of Gardiner-street, v. O'Connor, Tuite, and Ardill, finding for the defendants. It will be remembered that, for some years past, John Malone, of Cobourg-place, claiming to be the heir-at-law of Anthony Malone, sought the possession of the extensive estates of the late Richard Malone, amounting to about £14,000 per annum. After a very protracted litigation before the courts in Dublin, and the House of Lords, John Malone, of Cobourg - place, aban doned his claim on receiving a life annuity of £4OO. The present claimant, John Malone, of Gardiner-street, who had filed his bill in 1834, but had lain by whilst the suit of the other claimant was pending, then came forward to assert his right, and the Court of Chancery directed an issue to try his heirship of Anthony Malone. The issue was tried at the assizes, and, after three days. has just terminated with a ver dict for the defendants, Hugh Morgan Tuite, Esq., M.P. ; Thomas Ardill, Esq„ solicitor ; and Mrs. Alicia O'Connor, sister of the late Richard Malone.—Dublin paper.- ktipping fiticlitarnre.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, MALiCtI 28. We have had a plentiful supply of Beastr and Sheep at this day's market, which met with a dull sale, and a redUction of id fi lb. below our last quotations. Prime Beef did;' middling Sd to 54d 1.1. lb ; Bulls and Segs sod to 4d ; prime Wethers did ; middling did 1i tb, sinking the offal. Number of Beast, 1124 ; Sheep 3332. • LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MARCEL 28. Since our last, the Butter trade has been panic stricken. Indif ferent parcels having been sold as low as 65s per cwt. On Satur day and to day, however, there is a better feeling, and we do not believe the extreme point of sacrifice would be accepted. There appears to be no doubt that when Sir Robert Peel's fiscal regula tions have had • a fair chance, much steadiness in our Provision markets will be the result. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MARCH 24. . Our arrivals of Grain' are very moderate this week. The con tinued general depression of traile in the manufacturing districts has caused our dealers to work out of stock, whilst the reduced rates have induced most holders to withdraw their samples. To day our shew of Wheat is small; the best conditioned New and Old is Is per qr. dearer, and in second sorts there is more doing at former prices. Fine Barly Is per qr. higher. Oats have advanced id per st., and Shelling t s per load. Beans as before. No variation in other articles. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 24. Our market to-day, for a Good Friday, was moderately well sup. plied with Beasts as to numbers, but their general quality was very inferior. With the exception of the receipts from Scotland by sea, which amounted to about 500 horned and polled Scots (only 200 of which were brought forward this morning, the remainder being kept back for Monday) the whole of them were the refuse of the last market day. The attendance of buyers being numerous the Beef trade was somewhat steady, but no improvement was noticed in the quotations. Sheep, which were in short supply, sold freely at full currencies, and a good clearance was easily effected. This being the great Lamb market, the demand for all qualities was brisk, and the best Essex Lambs produced 8s per 81b. The numbers exhibited on this occasion were comparatively small, they being nearly B,noo less than at the corresponding period of 1821. This was attributed to the great losses caused by the epidemic in our grazing districts. From the Isle of Wight only 100 Lambs carne to hand, whilst their prices ruled from 6s to 7s per,Slb. The Veal and Pork trade was firm at late rates. Mulch Cows moved off slowly, at from ..el6 to £2O los each. By the quantities of Sibs, sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATO MARKET, March 28. The heavy stock of Potatoes at present on our market, has com pletely checked the demand, both the town and country dealers anticipating a further decline in prices. There has been little or no business of moment transacted today, and the market closed exceedingly dull this evening. Manx, Scotch and Irish Cups ks Sod to 2s per 9ulh. There is a pretty good sale for Turnips, and the best descriptions of Sweedes commands 29s per ton. Our local markets are only scantily supplied with all descriptions of agi icultural produce, but for which there is only slow sale. 5. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

The demand has continued moderate throughout the week, but the better classes of American fully maintained their price, whilst the lower qualities and other kinds are heavy of sale at the quota tions of Friday last. Speculators have taken 1800 American, and Exporters ;50 American and 50 Surat. ;00 Sea Island are declared for auction on Friday, Ist April. COTTON MARKET, MARCH 29. We are entirely without change in oar Cotton market ; the de mand on Saturday amounted to 25 , 0 bales, and to-day it has not exceeded 3000 bales, at last week's prices. Easter week is a par tial holiday in M anchester and the manufacturing districts generally and that we must calculate upon even a quieter week than we have lately had. The market is well supplied with Cotton, but holders do not press their stocks, they are nevertheless willing sellers at a fair market price.
