Cholm Dinner, the Countess of Powis, the Countess of Bradford, Mrs. Corbett of Sundorne, Lady Harriet Clive, Lady Lucy Whitemore, and other Ladies, were received, on their introduction into the centre boxes immediately opposite the chair, with several rounds of hearty cheers. The noble chairman, Earl Powis, then proposed in order the following toasts, all of which were duly responded to. "The Queen," " His Royal Highness the Duke of Corn wall," His Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the Princes Royal," " The Queen Dowager and the rest of the royal family , " " Our unrivalled constitution in church and state," Lord Hill and the Army," the Earl of Haddington and the Navy." NN then rose and said, that the next submit to their consideration was the :onservative members for Shropshire. (Tremendous cheering, during which time the whole company remained standing, and by every demonstration of which they were capable, exhibited great enthusiasm.) Although he (Lord Powis) believed that this festival was unexampled at any public meeting in this country, he might, as had just eft the toast without any comments ) But it was desirable, as the eyes, re happily here present, but also of many who were absent, not only among their own country men, but foreigners also would be directed to them— (cheers) —that he should address a few sentences to them upon the state in which' the representation of the county found itself. (Cheers.) Their representatives afford to this country, and to the whole world, an epitome of the British constitution. (Loud cheers.) I pointed out to all that were directed to ward them, whether at home or abroad, what constituted the inviolability of the British empire. (Loud cheering.) They united within these twelve representatives all descriptions and classes of the people. (Cheers.) There was nothing in this representation, that they or as many more of this or other countries, might strive for, and not succeed in, if virtue attended them, and they brought assiduity and character to assist them in their work. (Cheers.) He should not go through the catalogue of their representatives on this occa sion, but point out to them by way of illustration, that which they knew, but persons at a distance might not give them• selves the trouble to think of as they did. (Cheers.) Let him first bring to their notice his noble friend on his right hand, the Earl of Darlington. (Cheers.) He was the repre sentative of one of the most powerful and distinguished families in rank in this country. (Cheers.) Allow him to allude further to his honourable and worthy friend before him (Sir Rowland H ill )—(tre mendous cheers)—the represen tative of a family long known arid much respected for their virtues and loyalty in this county. (Immense cheers.) It formed a curious coincidence, that he announced within the last 48 hours, in those channels which conveyed information, with so much celerity, from all parts of the globe, that it was now three centuries ago since his family emerged from the citizens and merchants of London, and first occupied the highest public station in the metropolis, as the first, Protes tant Lord Mayor of London. (Immense cheering.) He must, however, make a selection of those at present remain ing unnoticed, otherwise he should be a long time to the conclusion, at which he was anxious that th Tile noble CHAIR: toast which he shout health of th now been testified in their bands.

(Cheers.) That prelate, to whom this 'ply indebted, had been. the means of -I, and enriching the mind orthe most able and powerful minister of the country, in the most per plexing of times. The merit of that great man, the Bishop of Winchester, was reflected on his honourable friend, and entitled him, in no small degree to their respect and ad ne also brought personal and private virtues ,ance in claiming their approbation. (Loud cheering.) He had only now one further notice to make, and that was of an honourable friend of his, who had, for the first time, taken his seat in the Commons' House of Parlia ment, under the support of certain honourable friends of his, whom he had now, for the first time, an opportunity of thanking for their kindnsss to him (the chairman.) The gentleman he referred to was Mr. Ackers (the representative of Ludlow.) The object that he specially aimed at was, to illustrate that which he had already mentioned, that all of Jf standing in the same elevated situation h he now did, if they brought virtue, perseverance, along with them. (Cheers.) His success in life was somewhat_ similacto that of their present great their notice as ti ientativ country perfecting th miration ; but to his assist them were capabl and character minister of England, Sir Robert Peel. (Loud . cheees.) - He had sprung from among the people, he had come to repre sent them, the constituents of Shropshire. (Cheers.) His property had arisen from his connexion with the manufactur ing and commercial interests of the country, and his character stood as high in the county whence he came, as by the con stituency to which he had come. The noble lord concluded a very eloquent and effective speech, by proposing the toast in due form. It was then drunk with nine times nine, and with the most deafening plaudits. The Earl of Darlington rose amidst the most enthusiastic id after some most eloquent allusions to the ;h they had achieved, he then referred to the want of capacity in every leading member of the late ministry, and particularly took two examples, who might be taken as le of the whole, and gave a brief description of ers. (Cheers.) He did not wish to make use of i terms, but lie did think that gross blundering might • ' " ibuted to the late finance ministers, Mr. Thos. ind Mr. Francis Baring, during the period they Far be it from him (Lord Darlington) to say the predecessors of those gentlemen, holding ad not been guilty of a lavish expenditure, or a want of economizing the public money ; but he believed it for the two ministers whom he had named to the expenditure of the country for six suc- cheering, victory v Springft that none c that office, have aceurnu ,t only ro an amount far exceeding its income, but without ma + - tempt to square the income with e to find the ways and a surplus revenue in 1835, they or in official lauguag proceeded 1841,--anc ) accumulate deficit it that year Mr. in every successive year to ancis Baring announced a ind a halt' million sterling 'e would be a further deficiency . (Hear, hear.) Now he be- over the income, and that a of £2,400,000 in April, 18. lieved this was the first insta Ay min in five successive years witnout taking measures to square the income with the ex penditure. Of course great anxiety was manite.ted and naturally so, at the present moment to know what measures the new administration would adopt in order to recruit the exhausted income of the country. What plan Sir R. Peel might propose it was not for him to say— he was completely in the shade upon the subject. (Laughter.) They had, how ever, fortunately amongst th em on th e presen t occa sion, one of her Majestys ministers (tremendous cheers,) who, although he could g i ve exp l anat i ons, not b e i ng a cabined minister, would prove to be as much in the dark on that subject as himself. (Cheers and laughter.) It was out of the question for him to tell them, or to venture to say what might be the new measures of Sir R. Peel ; yet still he might venture to tell them what the right hon. baronet would not do. He, Lord Darlington, would tell them that Sir R. Peel would not follow the example of his predecessors; but on the contrary, that he would tak e a di rectly opposite course. (Cheers.) Forinstance, the constant habit of hi s p re d ecessors h a d b een to profess everything, but to mean nothing. (Cheers.) First to lean on this side, and th en to lean on that ; not to give any opinion of their own ; b u t to fi sh for the opinions of others. and to yield to every sudden i mpulse and momentary pressure ; come from what side that pressure might. (Cheers.) Now he would venture to say, whatever Sir R. Peel's policy might be, he would adopt measures sTry different to these: - tever might,pf Commonsound,ihe _ ~„; whaL y would n .. ot be thrown on the in a crude or undigested they would I well considered and matured; they given to tE House of Commons for their adoption .-:..ir ey proper ; but still they would , fail ..,, kl.,ord Darlington,) felt confident ith a perfect deter .nation on the part of the government to abide or fall by them. There was one other mode of poli c y ~_. 41.,. late g overnment, the said c reep i ng on be.- .rst instance it was scarcely noticed, it had in the present day become an habitual practice, h e meant system of makin open ques tions ; a line of policy w hi ch, - ' g not only highly reprehensible, but, at the ' ---.e with the principles of the con told that the Whigs were measures he the table of state ; could b,- or rejection, as tbt,, be given in good faith creeping on bytt cause though in t in his opinion, w same time, a ce, and he xvas aware Lord Liverpool divided atholic emancipation, but the cabinet at '9, that ques- what was t tion was co kept in a name -and that distractec it was tt measure ne acabinet meast without the ;iest di icult} told b, He (Lord Darlington) was aware that he mig men in that room that it bad been far better had that question never been carried. (Tremendous cheering.) That was another point which of course it would be travelling out of his way to discuss on the present occasion. He only thought it fair to state that he (Lord Darlington) certainly felt other wise on that occasion, (we suppose allUding to the disappro bation of the measure manifested by the meeting) and he had always voted for catholic emancipation till that bill was car dad. The first question that was made an open one by the Ang .which now al gitated the eouptry,. he _wee w from one end to the other, he referred to the co (Hear, hear.) In the year 1836, when Lord Gr was at the head of the government, Mr. Hume brought for ward a motion for abolishing, the corn laws, and for substi tuting a fixed duty of 10s. in its stead, with a declining scale of one shilling per annum till it ended in nothing. The whole of Lord Grey's cabinet were directly opposed to the introduction of the question ; they declared themselves in `avour of the law as it stood at the present moment. (Hear, -.) As that was the case with the whole of the cabinet Grey, it might Jinary ce said, was it not extraort— .stlon should have been made an open one It really was so, but it was made al, open question to accommodate one individual, an one alone. That individual was certainly a great man, of whom he would speak with great respect, inasmuch as be was now no more. He alluded to Mr. Poulett Thomson, (the late Lord Sydenham) who was then Vice-president of the board of trade and member for Man chestor, because he happened to represent that place ; but then came a question, whether a minister of the crown, who happened to be a representative of a large constituency, was to obey the will expressed by a large Majority 'if the nation, or the will expressed by that particular class of the commu nity who happened at the time to represent, (hear, hear.) Now, as he had always thought that it was the duty of every minister of the crown to promote to the utmost of his power, the interest of the nation at large, and not that of any one particular class, so he would say that the government of the day should have given but one option to Mr. Poulett Thom son, either to resign his office as the minister of the crown, or as the representative of the town of Manchester, (hear and cheers.) That, gentlemen, [continued the noble Lord] was the only thing that could have been done, but all those difficulties were fully foreseen by the wisdom of their ancestors, who established that wholesome and salutary measure, and constitutional doctrine of compelling every member of Parliament on accepting office under the crown, to vacate his seat, and thereby give to his constituents an opportunity of re-electing him or not as they think fit. But was it possible to suppose that such a question as the Ballot, that such a question as universal sufferage, or Triennial Parliaments, the corn laws, or any such questions as these were to be left to mere chance, and not to be taken up by government in some way or the other, as it was imposible that those questions could be finally settled unless they were taken up by government, so be, (Lord Darlington) would say, that it was their duty to take some distinct line of action or other, and so strongly did he feel on that point that he would never give his support to any government who should make open questions of such measures as these (cheers.) But he confessed he had a higher opinion of the present Premier than to suppose that he would deviate from that line of conduct which he felt to be right for the purpose of hooking a few wavering votes for the purpose of his own conscience, or at the expense of his own good sense and ind (enthusiastic cheering.) Hr -Aced that (Hear, 'ependence he (Lord Darlington) put greater confidence in the known integrity of Sir Robert Peel, in his sincerity, and in that fertile genius with which by nature he was en dowed. (Loud and long-continued cheering.) He must also, at the same time, put great confidence in the composi tion of his ministry, for never, he believed, in the history of the country, did they possess an administration endowed with more eminant or statesmanlike views than the present government. (Applause.) Never, he believed, did it fall to the lots of a statesman to form a stronger cabinet, without succumbing to political opponents, and at the same time without making any sacrifice or concession of principle ; and if any proof were wanting that the country approved of the choice. it would be found in the circumstance that of the twenty-seven members who vacated their seats on the ac ceptance of office, not only the whole of them had been re-elected, but not one of them had been opposed. (Great cheering.) With these observations, and knowing as he did, how many others there were who equally with himself, thought it their duty to address them upon the occasion, he would not trespass further then on their patience ; but he was anxious to take that opportunity of stating, that it has long been his intention, (a purpose which was known to many of his friends,) of not seeking again at their hands that trust which, for a period of nine years, had been so kindly entrusted to him. In making this brief announce ment, he assured them that it was done with feelings of the deepest regret. (Hear, hear.) How was it possible for him to feel otherwise in alluding to a political separation which had existed so long, and he trusted that they would believe him that this expression of feeling was not affected on his part, but that he entertained a lively sense of the kindness manifested towards him, by every individual elector of the county from the highest to the lowest, although however their political connexion might be severed, he hoped that as long as life lasted he would never be separated from them in the interchange of their social relations of private friendship. The noble lord concluded an eloquent and most effective address amidst enthusiastic and general applause. George Tomline, Esq., M.P. also effectively replied to the toast. Several other admirable speeches were delivered on the occasion. FUNNY.—By a typographical error in one of our exchanges, we learn, " that two cows were completely cut into ceelves by the railroad train."—Globe. There is a decrease of no less than 41,924 quarters in the consumption of malt, between the 10th October, 1840, and the 10th October, 1841, in London alone. MEN AND WOMEN.—fit woman's head is always influ enced by her heart ; but a man's heart is generally influ enced by his head. THE WEATHER.—Nothing can exceed the beauty of the weather, and as there is every prospect of its continuance, we may look forward to the best effects being produced upon the potato and other crops.—Dublin Mail. EXCHEQUER MLLE.—The number of the exchequer bills which, up to yesterday, had been received, examined, and stamped as authentic, and re-issued to parties, was 25,709, and their value £15,865,300. Dr. Longfleld has resigned, for the present, his views on the representation of the University of Dublin. There will be but one candidate, and Mr. Jackson will be elected with out a contest.—Dublin Evening Mail. There is now grovvinglin the garden of John Sturdy, Esq., of Boston, a pear tree, bearing a great quantity of blossom, and also a number of small but perfectly formed pears.— Boston Herald. A highly beneficial change has taken place in the weather . . throughotit the north of England The husbandman is busy in casting the winter wheat into the ground, and there is now every prospect that that important operation will be got through under favourable auspices. —Newcastle Journal. Sir Clifford Constable and Sir John Gerard, both Roman Catholics and staunch conservatives, are shortly to be raised to the peerage. Sir Clifford Constable, who has extensive property and influence in Yorkshire and other counties, had a seat in parliament previous to the passing of the Reform Bill, and recorded his vote against that measure.—Courier. During the exhibition of Wombwell's collection of wild beasts at Northallerton, a few days ago, one of the young leopards, in a sportive mood, put its foot out of the cage, which was immediately seized upon by a panther in the ad joining cage, and literally torn from its body. The poor aftimal.was instantly killed. Last week two fires broke out in the vicinity of St. Ives— one at Hemingford, the other at Fen Stanton—in both cases the acts of incendiaries. A youth not more than 16 years of age is committed to take his trial at the next Huntingdo❑ assizes for the former ; and for the latter two persons of Fen Stanton are committed for further examination.—Stamford Mercury Perhaps the best indication of the high merits of the Dub lin University Magazine, is the fact, which has recently come within our knowledge, that an eminent bookseller in New York has announced his intention to republish it monthly, within two days after it reaches him.—Salopian Journal. TRING PARK.—The beautiful and much admired mansion at Tring Park, built by Charles II for his favourite, Nell Gwynne, is undergoing the most substantial and complete repair, with a view to its being let for a term—the present possessor being a minor. King Charles's bed and some other pieces of furniture are still remaining. DREADFUL MURDER.—Robert Charles Walsh, Esquire, a magistrate of the county of Waterford, who had issued a habere to dispossess some tenants, was beaten to death on Saturday last, on his return from Dungarvon petty sessions. The notice of his servants having having been attracted to his horse and car returning home alone, 'they proceeded in search of him, when they found his body about a mile from his house, his head beaten into a mummy.—Dublin Evening Mail, Nov. 8. A correspondent of one of the morning papers observes, with much truth, that had a floating fortress (ship of war) been destroyed by fire, a court-martial or a court of naval inquiry would have instantly followed it, and the character and commissioners of the ship would have been at stake on the issue. In the case of the Tower of London there is nothing but thanks and compliments, and no inquiry at all. ANOTHER MURDER.—The war " goes bravely on." Wexford vies with Waterford—the " liberal " lesson receives another illustration, and the blood of another landlord lies red• upon the earth. The Associators should be satisfied. Two victims slain upon the same altar ought, for a time at least, to sate them. In Wexford the sufferer is Mr. Bolton —we presume of " the Island," though his residence is not named in the paragraph which announces his assassination. —Cork Constitution. The Birmingham manufacturers are now receiving some large orders from the United States. These orders had been suspended while the MiLeod affair was pending, hut were issued after the trial had concluded. The calamitous fire at the Tower will also give employment to a considerable num ber of hands in the gun trade. Upon the whole, the prospects of the Birmingham artisans for the winter are more cheering than could have been anticipated a short time since. SHOCKING ACCIDENT ON THE WYRE RAILWAY.—On Saturday evening last, as the last train was proceeding from Preston to Fleetwood, an innkeeper of the name of Hornby, formerly of the Ship Inn, Preston, but latterly of Fleetwood, fell from one of the carriages on the line, and was so dread fully injured by some of the wheels passing over him as to cause his death on the following day. We have been unable to learn the full particulars of the accident, but we have heard that both the legs of the unfortunate man were cut off by the train. He was a remarkably stout, powerful man, and in the prime of life. SWEARING IN OF THE NEW LORD MAYOR.-011 111011- day Alderman Pirie, the new Lord Mayor, was sworn in with the usual ceremony at Guildhall. There were numbers of persons present. His lordship was warmly congratulated by his brother aldermen, the members of the company to which he belongs, and the principal city officers. The late Lord Mayor was very heartily applauded upon retiring from office, the fatigues of which he had borne, and the character of which he had supported, in a manner that gave great satisfaction, and showed that, at the advanced age of 77, a man of energy and resolution can do a great deal. A splen did dinner at the Mansion-house followed. STATE OF PAISLEY.—The number of persons on the sup ply list of the relief committee is unhappily still on the in crease. The number is now 1,170, with 3,000 dependents. The number supplied with soup yesterday, a separate class, amounts to 694 ; some of whom got two, or three, or four quarts of soup, according to the extent of their families ; a half-penny scone is given with each quart of soup. The iotal number of quarts issued, would be about 1,300. It is a most cheering feature in society to see those who are able showing themselves equally willing to extend their aid in re lieving the existing distress. We trust one and all of the kind donors will experience the truth of the axiom, that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Total number re quiring aid, s,9o2.—Paisley Advertiser. M ELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.—At Bevercotes, near Retford, resides a cottager of the name of the name of Mark Whittington, who has had a large family, and amongst the rest an idiot g i r l. O n S un d ay morning Mrs. !Whittington leftthe house to serve the pig, when, melancholyto relate, by some means, the child's clothes caught fire, and on the mo ther's return she found her enveloped in flames. Her first thought was to go into the parlour for a blanket to wrap the child in, in order to subdue the flames, but on her way thi ther, the child, who was about fifteen years old, suddenly seized and clung to her, and held her so firm that she could not disentangle herself. The child held her hold until she fell a blackened a lifeless corpse. Previous to this the mo ther's clothes had caught fire, and eshe was considerably burnt before she got the mastery of the flames. Death, how ever, bad done his worst. Terror seized upon the unfortu Hate iedparent, which, coupl e d with the injuries she had re ceived, had such an effect upon her nervous sensibilities that atetvenn' 'clock the same evening she breathed her last. An i nqu et was held on the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers the morning of Monday last, when, after hearing the evi dence, the jury returned a verdict in both eases, of " Acci dental death.

THE PRINCE'S INCOME (From the Times of Friday.) As this important subject will one day come under consi deration, and is already exciting some speculation, the fol lowing extract from the Annual Register, explaining the course observed in the case of George IV. while Prince of Wales, may be read with interest : " On the 23d of June, 1783, the Chancellor of the Exche quer delivered a message from his Majesty, recommending to the house the consideration of a separate establishment for the Prince of \Vales. The said message being afterwards taken into consideration, the house was informed that his Majesty had graciously resolved to take on himself the an nual charge of his son's establishment, without laying any additional burden on his subjects; that £50,000 was to be settled on the Prince, to be paid out of the Civil List; and that all that was demanded was £60,000 as a temporary aid to equip him at his outset in life. This sum was accordingly voted, and an addre ss of thanks pre sen t e d t o hi s M a j es t y ." It may be well to remark, that the subject of a separate maintenance for the Prince of Wales is usually brought under the consideration of parliament during the session im mediately preceding the birthday on which his royal highness will have arrived at the age of 21. So, in the instance of George IV., as that period wou ld h ave b een comp l ete d on the 12th of August, 1783, the message from the Crown re commending the consideration of a separate establishment for his royal highness was sent down to the House of Com mons on the 23d of June in that year. In alluding to this grant of a separate income to the Prince of Wales, Wraxall, in his Memoi rs , sa y s , " N o t w ith s t an di ng the ascendant which Fox exercised over the Cabinet, and in particular over the Chancellor of the Exchequer, an event occurred at this time, where his influence proved unequal to overcome the obstacles opposed to it. The Prince of Wales approaching the period of his minority, a separate establish ment became requisite for him ; anti Carlton-house, which had not been habited since the decease of the Princess Dow ager of Wales in 1772, was chosen as his future residence. The income proper for his royal highness's support became necessarily a subject of discussion among the members of the administration, and produced great difference of opinion. Fox thought that the sum of £lOO,OOO would not be more than adequate to maintain his state ; while Lord John Caven dish, in whose immediate official department the business lay, conceived that the moiety of the sum might suffice, under the circumstances of the country, and the encumbrances on the civil list. His Majesty being of the latter sentiment, it was adopted; and Lord John having acquainted the House with the gracious determination of the Sovereign not to call on his people for any additional aid to his civil list, but to take on himself the present expense of the heir apparent, limited his demand to the sum of £60,000, as a temporary supply to the Crown, and an outfit. Pitt instantly stood up, and having expressed his perfect approbation of the proposition, as by no means unreasonable or excessive, passed some very high encomiums on the Prince : then, addressing his discourse pointedly to the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, he observed that rumours had been circulated, in a manner which seemed to stamp them with authenticity, of a very extraordinary na ture. Those rumours,' continued he, asserted that it had been the intention of some of the King's Ministers, contrary to his avowed wishes, whose paternal affection for his subjects suggested very different ideas to his royal mind, as well as contrary to a due consideration for the exhausted condition of the country, •to have proposed a very enormous sum for the Prince of Wales's e s t a bli s h men t. He rejoiced exceed ingly at finding those reports practically done away on this evening; hut he trusted that ministers would take the pre sent occasion to rise in their places, and to deny that there ever existed the slightest foundation for such assertions. On so important a point he confidently expected that they would furnish the house with an ample explanation.' Fox, thus called on, rose, and in the manly tone which always charac terised him, replied, that as the vote now proposed went only to the sum of £50,000 a year, that fact formed itself a suf nvinogn the e m i nen t, as expatiated with equal eloquence suf ficient answer to the question. But, he added, that ' f ormer Princes of Wales had received larger grants from pa r li ament for t ando of their warm dignity.'li r a well as shining, virtues of the Prince , not omitting the h onour th esuppor of his ready obedience on the present occasion to his Majes ty's pleasure, the secretary thus proceeded If however, it had remained with me to advise, or had it been my pro vince to make the application of this day to the house, I do not hesitate to repeat that I should have asked for a much larger sum. But, as the person who possesses the best right to decide upon that point has not coincided with me in senti ment, it becomes my duty to obey, and to act implicitly by his opinion.' The vote then passed without a dissentient voice. The late Mr. Fanning, of Waterford, •has bequeathed to the poor of that city £30,000. . . THE NIGER EXPEDITION.—Extract of a lett er f rom the Rev. T. Muller, dated her Majesty's ship Albert, River Nun, August 19, 1841 :—" We passed the b ar o f t h e river last Friday, the 13th instant, and have been very busy since in repairing our rudder. We are lying at anchor a few mil es within the mouth of the river, where we have the sea breeze. We buried alreadf one of our men on the shores of this river, Mr. Back, the mathematical instrument-maker, who died last Sunday from fever. I trust he died in the Lord. At present, we are, thank God, all well. The rainy season will now soon he over; but at present our people are very m uc h exposed to rain and wet. The river reminds me very much of the Nile ; I hope the Niger water will be as good and pleasant to drink as that of the Nile ; here it is brackish, on account of the tide. To-day we are going to leave this place for Jboo ; whether we live or whether we die, we are the. Lord's. STATISTIC g OF INSANITY, I4.;very document issuing from a public institution wlab tends to elucidate the subject of insanity cannot but prove interesting to the philanthropist and medical philosopher. IVe have perused with attention and interest the statistics of the Retreat near New York, an establishment erected pur posely for the reception and treatment of persons belonging to the Society of Friends. The report which is just published exhibits the experience of that institution from its origin in 1796 to the year 1810. The Retreat was opened for the re ception of patients in the summer of 179 G. It was originally only designed for 30 patients, but it is now capable of afford ing accommodation to about 100. During the 44 years the number of admissions has been 615, of which 282 were males, and 333 females. As 1-16 of these cases were re-ad mitted ones, the number of persons treated was 469; or 223 men and 246 women. Of the 469 cases admitted there were 415 who were members of, or connected with, the Society of Friends, and 54 not so connected. But of every 100 cases of all descriptions received into . the Retreat during the 40 years, the proportions discharged under the severa heads, and remaining under care at the end of that period, are shown in the following table : Males. Females. Mean. Recovered Improved Unimproved 3.9 5.4 4.7 Died ... . Remaining 13.9 15.6 14.8 Of those connected with the Society of Friends, 22 per cent., and of others 37 percent., had suffered from more than one attack of mental disorder when first admitted into the institution ; of 415 patients, 228, or about 55 per cent., were resident in cities or large towns, and 101, or 24 per cent., from small towns and villages ; and 88, or 21 per cent., from more completely rural districts. A very interesting table is given below, showing the rank or profession of those who have been admitted during the 40 years. _ - _ Men. Women. Gentlemen and gentlewomen Clergymen of the Church of England 1 Military officers 2 Physicians and surgeons Solicitor Architects and artists Literary persons Schoolmasters, governesses, &c. Merchants, &c Manufacturers Tanners and curlers Farmers, &c Wives and daughters of farmers Agents, clerks, and commercial travellers Chymists and druggists Persons in various descriptions of trade .... 46 G Wives and daughters of the same 3O Ship captains and sailors 4 Housekeepers l2 Seamstresses Shopmen and shopwomen Domestic servants Mechanics and artisans Wives and daughters of ditto l9 Shoemakers Tailors 3 'Weavers . Exact rank not known .... It appears that the mean age at the origin of the disorder was 34, the men on the average being attacked two years earlier than the women. With regard to the origin of the disorder, nearly one-third of the whole cases admitted were found to be attacked at from 20 to 30 years. With reference to the influence of marriage some important facts are ad duced, as the following statement will prove. Of the patients admitted from 1796 to 1840, there were Unmarried Married, but having had no offspring Married, with offspring Widowed, but having no offspring. — 'Widowed, with offspring Men. Women 144 166 8 14 51 41 3 6 14 21 It appears from the above table that of the patients sub jected to treatment for the last 40 years two-thirds, or 66 per per cent. (64 per cent. for the men and 68 per cent. for the women), had never been married. Of those who had been married only one-fifth bad never had offspring. We now proceed to the consideration of the probable causes of the mental disorder. The causes of insanity arc generally divided into predisposing and exciting, physical and moral. Of all the causes of mental disease, those which have a tendency to predispose the brain to take on that pe culiar morbid action which generally gives rise to insanity are of the most importance. These causes are frequently insidious in their character, and therefore are often altogether overlooked. The predisposing causes are divided into physi cal and moral. The following tables illustrate their operation : PREDISPOSING CAUSES. PHYSICAL. Men. Women ' Hereditary tendency 32 36 Fright to the mother, followed or met by _ premature birth 2 2 Congenital weakness of mind in various degrees Decided congenital peculiarly of mind l9 4 Extreme degrees of melancholy or nervous _ temperament Lactation by parent strongly predisposed 1 0 Period or senility (average age of attack, 72 years) 2 4 Insufficient exercise, or the stooping posture 2 0 Fever lt ickets Apoplexy and paralysis Epilepsy Biitidiless Chorea.. Hysteria 0 1 1 1 4 0 1 1 0 2 1 6 .. ... Hypochondriacal tendency 2 1 Dyspepsia, &c. Gout and Rheumatism 0 3 Injudicious bloodletting Spermatorrhcea 1 0 Irregular secretions intemperance and free living ' l2 1 In the 415 persons 232 laboured from physical predis position ; with regard to th e h ere dit ar y p re di s p os iti on , it should b recollected that the cases were not considered of an hereditary character the history of which had only been characterized by the existence of insanity in collateral blood relatives, it being obvious that cases of this kind do not necessarily establish any direct hereditary transmission. The following were the moral predisposing causes:Li . Neglected or perverted education, in three Me n . Women cases very indulgent, in one very rigid 4 1 111-regulated temper and disposition.... Solitary mode of life 0 1 Mental disquietude Political enthusiasm Excitement connected with religious hopes, fears, and apprehensions 5 No predisposing causes known B3 81 A table is given showing the exciting causes of the disor ders, so far as these were stated or could be ascertained : PHYSICAL EXCITING CAUSES Men. Women Fevers and febrile diseases Mechanical injuries of the head.. Inflammation of brain Apoplexy and paralyses Neuralgia and cephalgia Hysteria Dyspeptic and liver disorders Unnatural propensities 6 0 Irregular or suppressed secretions. . 0 10 Puerperal disorders Protracted or suddenly subsiding lactation.. 0 2 Checked perspiration Suppressed skin eruptions Suddenly subsiding diarrhoea 1 0 Long continued ill-health Loss of sleep from fractured arm Severe scald in infancy .. 1 0 Injudicious use of mercury ... 2 0 Intemperance Use of opium and spirits ... 0 2 Generally dissipated and dissolute conduct.. 2 0 The following tabular statement presents a view of the MORAL EXCITING CAUSES. Men. Women.

With re lation to the influence of ill-directed religious feelings in the production of insanity, Mr. Thurnam observes that the his tory of the Retreat fully confirms the truth of Dr. Prichard's remark, that " the circumstance of the mind of a lunatic being occupied during the period of his disease with ideas and feelings connected with an invisible world is no proof whatever that the disarrangement of his understanding was produced in the first instance by impressions related to the same subject." Although the hopes and fears connected with religion and a future state did not in many cases ope rate as a cause of insanity, they in many instances materially modified the character of the disorder. In 162 cases of me lancholy, 42 persons were afflicted with fear connected with a future state. In nine out of 52 cases of monomania the hallucinations assumed a decidedly religious character. THE NIGER EXPEDITION We have much gratification in stating, that the news of mortality among the persons engaged in the expedition to tha Niger, proves to be greatly exaerated. A letter from a gg gentleman on board of th e Albert, dated off the Nunn, Aug. 10, says—" The Wilberforce, Soudan, and Amelia, joined us yesterday; the officers and men of all the vessels, so far as I can learn, are in good health." On the 16th he again writes—" We are now anchored above Alkurnah Island, having passed over the shallow part of the narrow creek, where we had 14 feet water, with the Amelia tender in tow ; the Wilberforce and the Soudan come up to-morrow morning. There is one coloured man in the Albert, and anther in the Wilberforce, who have the African fever, but the symptoms are favourable ; both these men are West Indian negroes, and entered the ships in England. With these exceptions, lam happy to say, the officer s an d men o f th e ex pedition are quite well.', A letter from another gentleman, dated on board the Albert, the 19th of A ugust , says— " W e en tered this river on the 14th. The health of the whole expedition has bee i all along very goo d, considering the number engaged n it, and any illne ss o f consequence which has occurred has becu almost exclusively confined to the black men. In the Albert we have unfo r t unate l y l ost two men, on e named Johnston . , a white, fell fro m th e foreyard-arm d ur i n g our passage from Sierra Leone to Cape Coast, and died two hours after, the accident from injury to the brain ; the other was Mr. Back, the mathematical instrument maker, who was attacked on the 9th instant, with symptoms of fever of a low . typhoid kind. It appears he had b een su ff er i ng f or some time from dyspepsia, and this attack superven i ng u pon a constitutxix previously debilitated, proved fatal on the 15th ; there evi dently was nothing local in the cause of his death." A letter from the chaplain to the expedition, dated the 18th of August, says—" all th e o ffi cers and peop l e of the whole squadron enjoy at present perfect health." From letters received up to the date of the 20th of August, the whole of the losses susta i ned appear to h ave b e en th ree from casualties during the voyage, which, with two coloured men, and one European—the.latter not from African fever — compri s es the entire loss of lif e sustaine d by the expedition from the time of its quitting England to the 20th of Aug. The total number employed in the expedition is about 300 persons. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 12. Upon foreign Wheat the duty for the ensuinr , week is re duced to 235. Bd. per qr. ; on Flour to 14s. 21(1. per barrel ; but raised on Barley to 13s. 10d., and on Pease to 12s. 6d. per yr. ; remaining upon other foreign, and upon all British colonial produce, unvaried. The receipts of English, Irish, Foreign and Canadian Wheat since Tuesday' amount to 11,710 qrs. • which, with the 62,169 qrs. specified in our circular of that date, comprise 73,879 qrs. into this port within the last ten days. Of Barley and Oats we have to note a moderate supply, but very little Grain of other kinds fresh in for to-day ; whilst of Flour and Oatmeal the arrivals are again rather extensive. The only feat ure i n the trade worth nam i ng bet w e en Tuesday and to-day, w as con f ine d c hi e fly to a few thousand barrels of St a t es Flour, sold at 375. 6d. to 38s. per barrel, the transactions in any kind of Grain during that time having been very unimportant, the late overflowing imports condu cing to render the buyers extremely inactive. At this day's market, upon a slender attendance of town and country millers, the operations in Wheat were very limited in amount ; holders generally, however, steadily ad. hering to our last quotations, and many cargoes being in the course of landing to hold over for future sale, the cur rent rates of Tuesday remained stationary. In Flour no sales of moment, nor any material change in prices were apparent. Malting Barley remained unaltered, but good Irish and Foreign, being more saleable, were the turn dearer. Malt, Beans, and Pease, although taken off sparingly, maintained their previous value. Oats, in the absence of country demand, were in slow re quest, but, being held with rather more firmness, supported former prices. Oatmeal appeared to meet little notice, and barely realised Our last currency. &I)toplng FRIDAY, NOVEIIIIER N.W ARRIVEM—FeDeIia.

Tea.—The demand has continued good throughout the week, and a fair business has been done, without any change in prices. Several small sales have been made in Indigo by pr vate treaty( but the market on the whole is dull. The public sales brought forward on the .10th instant comprised 430 chests Shell Lac, 990 pocket Tnrmeric, 50 cases Camphor, 30 boxes Castor Oil, 240 bags Terra Japonica, 700 bags Oil Seed, 13 chests siSsaftetida, &c. ; of these only 45 chests Shell Lac sold, at 3gs 65 for orange block. 500 bags Bengal Turmeric at 245. 20 cases Castor Oil at Sid to 6d, 50 cases Camphor at .4'12 15s to £l4, 15 cases Assafmtida at 30s to 40s, and some Rattans at 2s 6d to 2s 9d per 100.

In Dyewoods there is no change, and the sales of all descriptions do not exceed 250 tons, at former rates. The deinand for Turpen tine confirms regular, and 2000 barrels have been sold from the quay at 12s 7d to 12s 10d for fair to good quality. For 700 brls. of American Tar offered yesterday, there being no bid, they were withdrawn. There has been a considerable advance in Montreal Pot Ashes, principally in consequence of a demand for export ; 34s has been paid, which is an improvement of 2s per cwt., and holders are very firm at this price ; the sales of the week, however, have been to .a very limited extent, in consequence of holders almost daily raising their prices. Pearl Ashes are less in demand, the only sale of any moment being 100 brls. at 325 325 Oil is now generally required, though not freely given. Hides.—A few salted River Plate Ox are reported at late prices, but the market is generally dull.

We continue to have a heavy importation of Potatoes both from the Isle of Man and Scotland—and in consequence of the closing of the Salthouse and Canning Docks, without any arrangement being made for the accommodation of this annually increasing business—the trade is in the greatest confu-ion—this is certainly either goss negligence, or ignorance, on the part of the Dock Com mittee of this particular branch of trade, for it is as essential to have a proper place appointed for the sale of Potatoes overboard vessels, as it is for the town authories to apportion other places for the sale of agricultural produce—and it is also of the utmost im portance both to the town and country dealers, as well as the in habitants generally, that it be situated in a central position. From the above cause it is difficult at present to ascertain the current rates, or estimate the extent of business transacted since the 11th instant. Manx and Scotch Cups are selling from is yd to 2s per 901bs. The neighbouring farmers bring large supplies to market.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 15 Our report of the market for to-day and Saturday must be very similar to those of late, viz., as flat and dull as it possibly can be. The demand averages about 3,000 to 3,500 bales per day at gradually declining prices, causing as is usually the case, under such circum stances, a very uneven market. Holders do not force their stocks, nevertheless, they are willing and anxious sellers. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 15 Butter is in brisk request, and the holders gener . allY feel no in. clination to realize at late quotations. The medium qualities are decidedly 2s per cwt. higher. lOns is still the rate of the finer sorts. Pickled Butter held at figs for seconds, and the demand but limited. Should the weather continue as severe as at present, the currency of Butter must be impelled upwards. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT, A considerable heaviness has prevailed througout the week, with an evident disposition on the part of holders generally to effect sales, though without any appearance of forcing their stocks on the market. With the exception of the better descriptions of American, all other sorts, including Brazil, Egyptian and Surat. are fully id p lb lower. Of 1270 bags Sea Island and 720 bags stained ditto, offered by auction this day, 260 bags of the former and 230 bags of the latter were sold at a reduction of about Id 13 , /h. Speculators have taken 500 American, and Exporters 100 American and 500 Surat. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the sth to the 11th instant, inclusive.
