The keepers tethered the young ones until fledged, when they cliped and removed them to a neighbouring eminence, which they surround ed with traps, by which means they captured one of the old ones, and The other having escaped, carrying with it a trap and weights.—Caledonian Mercury. REBECCA AT SALTCOATS. —The new gates at the entrance to the parish school here were levelled with the ground early on Sunday morning last. Unlike Samson, however, who carried away the gates of Gaza, Rebecca allowed those of the school to lie where they fell. This act of wanton destruction must have been the work of some malicions person, and it is to be hoped the guilty party will he detected. Though the " shoolmaster was not abroad " at the time (3 o'clock in the morning), it does not appear that the noise disturbed him.—Ayr Observer. POUNDBREACH AND RESCUE.—An act came into oper— ation in July last, providing summary redress in cases where cattle are impounded, or seized to be impounded, are rescued from the pound, or on the way to the pound, and the expense of prosecution has been found consider ably to exceed the injury sustained. By the present act an offender can be summarily dealt with by the magis trates and fined £5, and in default of payment imprisoned. Proceedings may be heard in the absence of a party who shall refuse to attend, and he may be committed. There is likewise power given to the magistracy to issue a war rant without a summons " whenever good grounds for so doing to his satisfaction shall be stated, ou oath before him." CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.—We are glad to state that the new Conservative Association for this county is progressing most favourably, and that it holds forth a promise of proving much more effective than that which is now defunct.—Durham Advertiser. A PUZZ LER.—A few days ago, five ladies accidentally met at a gentleman's house in the West Riding; and it was found that they formed the following relationship ; one mother, two daughters, two aunts, three nices, three cousins, and five sisters. . . This is a work that we fear there exists too much need for, to cause us to hesitate to recommend it for ge neral perusal. Every branch of those frightful maladies, whether the result of immoral habits or secret vices, is here succinctly treated, and, divested of all medical tech nicality, plain and easy directions are given for the best mode to be pursued in all cases, however complicated or apparently hopeless. To the married, as well as the un married, this little work alike affords consolation and cure in peculiar cases, and we are doing service to society in recommending it to general notice." —Essex and Herta Mercury. THE CORN TRADE.—The average duty on wheat, on Thursday last was 14s. ; and we understand that a very considerable quantity has been released from bond at that rate. The Morning Chronicle complains that Sir R. Peel's corn bill has " ruined the foreign corn trade !" REBECCA AGAlN.—Notwithstanding the collision and bloodshed with the police at Pontardulais, as given in our pages to-day, another gate, almost in the neighbourhood, the Spuder-bridge gate, 2-1- miles from Kidwelly, was de stroyed, on Friday morning, by the liebeccaites. NEW WHEAT.—At Stamford, on Friday last, wheat weighing 18 stone net per sack was selling at 525, at Grantham, on Saturday, at 50s, and on Tuesday, at Spal ding, at 48s; the samples dry and in good condition. There will next week be a large quantity brought to market. " The scientific views taken by the authors, of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced surgeons ; and the result of our careful perusal of the work has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those intrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir." —Old England. A dreadful accident took place, at Messina, on the 15th ult., by the fall of a scaffold 110 feet high, which had been erected to exhibit fireworks upon. Fifteen men were pre cipitated along with it, four of whom died immediately, eight soon after, and no hopes were entertained of the re covery of the remainder. In the Wigan municipal list of voters, just completed by the overseers, there are, out of 3,000 ratepayers, the names of only 750 persons whose rates and taxes have been duly paid. This list does not comprise more than fifty beyond the number of ten-pound householders placed upon the list of parliamentary voters.

Mr. Shell, accompanied by his lady and Mis Power, arrived in Mallow on Saturday last ; but, alas ! there was no "admiring crowd to cheer on the ex-placctnan—he was unwept, unhonoured, and unsung"—he did not get even a solitary hurra! As the right hon. ex-agitator was re turning with his lady from ten o'Clock Mass, he was handed the following pithy address, which was signed "A Repealer " ;—MR. SHEIL — Throw the weight of your sPlended talents once more in the cause of Repeal, and your too long oppressed country ; and although it may de bar you from place, it will restore you the affections and gratitude of your countrymen—and old Ireland will give you a place in the record of her victories far more glorious than her oppressors can bestow:"—Cork Exami ner.

THE COLONIAL BISHOPRICS.—The next bishopric to be erected for the colonies is that of New Brunswick, and the committee have determined on recommending a cler gyman to her Majesty's Government to be consecrated to the see, as soon as £30,000 the sum required for the endowment, shall have been raised. The sum of £20,000 has been contributed from the colonial bishoprics fund, and about £5,000 have been collected within the province. Some subscriptions have been received from other quarters, and about £4,000 are now required to secure the estab lishment of a bishopric in New Brunswick, at present a portion of the large diocese of Nova Scotia. The income of the bishop will be £1,200 per annum, but the appoint ment will be made when a clear revenue of £l,OOO a year shall be secured. In addition to the 25,000 f left by the Queen of England to be distributed generally amongst the servants of the household of the King of the French, she gave I,ooof to each of the servants who were specially attached to her person. His Royal Highness Prince Albert left 2,500 f to be distributed among the poor of the town of Eu.— Galiganani of Saturday. RAYTBER STRONG.—A few days since a roan went into a counting-house in Maidstone, Kent, and solicited alms in a very importunate manner. They were refused, when the fellow said, with the utmost coolness, " Do give us a few halfpence, master, or a glass of rum—for I ' lushed ' a little too much last night, and my coppers be rather hot this morning ! "—Sussex Agricultural Express. EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH.—Some few years ago, when the late Earl of Leicester (then Mr. Coke) had his agricultural meetings at Holkam. a sheep was sheared in the morning, the wool washed, combed, spun, and wove, the cloth made into a coat and worn at dinner the same evening, as a proof of the industry and ingenuity of the country. A somewhat similar instance of agricultural effort was accomplished on Saturday last, in our own county. Mr. Edward Humphreys, of Walcot, had wheat cut at half-past nine in the morning : at half-past one some of the morning's produce was in loaves, one of which Mr. Davies personally presented to his noble land bird, the Earl of Powis, as a sample of the season's pro duction. His lordship was much pleased with it, and par took of a portion thereof at dinner.—Eddowe's Shrop shire Journal. The " Inspector-General of the Repeal Waodens of England, William John O'Connell, Esq.," lately arrived in Birmingham, for the purpose of enrolling as associates all those favourable to Repeal. At a Chartist meeting the " Inspector's-General's" " young gentleman," Jones, in referring to the troops sent to Ireland, said there was " an agitation being got up in Birmingham that would require the troops nearer home ! !" THE OPERA VOCALlSTS.—Lablache and his family are about to quit Paris for Naples, his native city, where he will remain for two months, having obtained a conge to that extent from the director of the Italian theatre at Paris. Madame Viardot is now in Paris, and has been engaged to appear in Vienna in the winter season. Per siani is awaiting the opening of the Italian theatre in Pari s (which is to take place on the first of October) at a charm ing country residence at Chalons. WESTMINSTER ABBEY.—It is understood that the Rev. Dr. Turton, the newly appointed Dean of Westmin ster, has given directions that the public shall in future have the privilege granted them of passing, after the ter mination of Divine Service ' from the nave, under the organ, into the spacio us an d beautiful choir, from which egress will be obtained through the grand or western en trance of that magnificent cathedral, which has for many years been ciosed against the public, the only entrance still being by the gate at Poet's Corner. The choir con tains the monumedts of several eminent statesmen and other exalted and distinguished characters, many of them of most exquisite execution, the beauty of which has been recently greatly enhanced by their having undergone a thorough cleansing, the whole of which all persons will I now have the opportunity of viewing free from charge rh e °hove reo-nlation was first carried into effect on S"n• THE ROMAN CATHOLIC OATH. — Amongst the notices of motions, &c. already on the books of the House of Commons for the nsxt session, is the following:—" Mr. Protheroe—bill to repeal the oath now taken by members of both Houses of Parliament who are of the Roman Ca tholic religion, and to substit u t e , i n li eu thereof, one which shall admit of no doubt existing on the right and power of such members to vote on all questions which 5 " ib liC 1 1 0 ei di to ' d j. ci P t ol P d o , c., 1 111 ` THE EXHIBITION OF THE LIVERPOOL ACADEMY. The nineteenth annual exhibition of the Liverpool Aca demy of Painting was opened for public inspection yester day ; and, after a yet cursory view of the rooms, we have to congratulate our townsmen on the general superiority of the productions over those of former years ; and the artists on the taste, talent, and industry they have here displayed, in their honourable career of competition,— evincing, in many instances, a marked improvement, and giving assurance that the institution—if commensurately and generously encouraged—will become a permanent stimulus to the efforts of genius, and eventually lead to that excellence which will render us as highly distinguished as patrons of the fine arts, as we have hitherto been (too exclusively) in the plodding pursuits of commerce. We especially rejoice to observe, that our native artists—some of whom have before excelled others who had elsewhere earned " golden opinions"—have, in this instance, excel led their former selves ; and we would remind all who would rejoice in the consummation we have ventured to anticipate, that it is by individual and local talent, kindly nurtured to maturity, that national perfection and emi nence are alone to be achieved. By the judicious arrange ments of the committee an opportunity is, this year, af forded to all classes to promote the grand object of the originators of the A ca d em y, an d we h ope an d trust they will cheerfully embrace it. The price of admission is re duced to half the amount during the evening exhibition, when the paintings and other works of art may be seen to great advantage—the rooms being splendidly lighted with gas. -We do not ourselves—as many of our contemporaries do—assume to be, critically speaking, connoisseurs of all the niceties of the nice art of painting; nor shall we, like them, (in the notices we shall from time to time furnish) obtrude crude and random opinions in high-sounding tech nical phrase, purposed to impress their readers with a high and unanswerable sense of our acumen, but which ge nerally result in an exposition of their own arrogance, ig norance, or partiality. We think, however, we can dis tinguish the difference between a senseless daub and a bright conception, highly finished, and strikingly effective to ordinary observers ; and abhorring as we do " the cant of criticism," we shall leave the public, should our re marks be impugned by those who erroneously consider themselves better judges of paintings than of puddings, to decide between us. We may premise that we have neither space nor leisure to enter much into rninuthe, and that in our opinion such exhibitions, which are intended chiefly for the encouragement of rising aspirants of our own coun try, and particularly of our own town, invite kindly no tice rather than challenge acrimonious invective—though we shall not in policy and justice overlook what may ap pear to us to be glaring faults or inconsistencies. On entering the principal room, the first picture that will attract the visiter—from its position, size, and excel lence—is No. 108, (opposite the door,) representing " Dante, accompanied by Virgil in his descent to the In ferno, recognising his three countrymen, Rustitucci, Al dobrandi, and Guidoguerra," by G. Patten, A.R.A. In classical and poetical conception. as well as in drawing, colouring, and execution, this picture is justly considered a very fine and masterly production. The figures are of colossal stature. The aerial floating appearance of Dante's former companions : and the anatomical accuracy of the whole, are truly admirable, A little to the left is Pi F. Poole's already celebrated picture of the horrors of the plague in London in 1665. The subject is taken from a passage in Defoe's narrative of that awful visitation, and represents the famous Solo mon Eagle, the enthusiast, exhorting the people to re pentance. " Though not affected at all but in his head," says the narrator, " he went about denouncing judgment upon the city in a frightful manner, sometimes quite naked, and with a pan of burning charcoal on his head." A variety of characters, young and old, are gathered around him in the open air, in the various stages of the disease, — some recklessly playing cards, others fearfully alive to their danger, and others sinki ng more or l ess rap idl y i nto the arms of death. On one side is a figure of a fine fe male placidly reading a holy book, and, just above her, another rushing frantically from a doorway in her night clothes, her aged and anguished mother endeavouring to restrain her. On the other side a dead body is being lowered from a window, and in the background another is being carried on men's shoulders towards the dead cart, which is in waiting. One sister in the foreground is dying on the knees of another. The glare of t )rches adds to the varied horrors of the scene, which is certainly repulsive ; but the painful feelings which it would other wise exclusively inspire, are more than redeemed by the masterly combination and variety of suffering depicted, and the commiseration which the contemplation of the whole naturally inspires. One prominent figure, with a bandage round his face, is said to represent Defoe him self; but this is somewhat apocryphal. The drawing, colouring, and knowledge of character displayed are all admirable; and we should say, that had Mr. Poole never produced another picture, this alone is sufficient to entitle him to the fame of a first-rate artist, whether in historical conception or in execution. No. 142, " Knox endeavouring to restrain the people, at Perth, from destroying the altars, missals, and other properties of the Unreformed Church," by J. P. Knight, A.R.A., is also a fine picture, both in harmony and rich ness of colouring, and in artistic execution. The only fault (if so it be) is the apparent want of energy in the countenance and deportment of the great Reformer, who appears, however, at the moment, to be speaking aside to a spearsman or soldier of the day. 60. Scene from the Merry W4es of Windsor,—" Sweet Anne Page with wine ; Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page behind. Sir John Falstaff is about to kiss Mrs. Ford." This is by W. F. Frith, a very young, but highly promising ar tist, and is very creditable to him in execution and finish. He has admirably delineated the coquettish face of Mrs. Ford, who is playfully humouring the old aniourous knight. Bardolph, Pistol, and the fool, are all portrayed with an equally happy conception of the dramatist, and a boy is ingeniously introduced endeavouring to cheat the last in tossing. 51. 'A wild solitary Moorland Scene, by T. Creswick, A.R.A. is beautiful in detail and distance. 67, by the same, "The Way across the River," is also fine, and in lively rural effect forms a pleasing contrast to the other. No. 3, (over the door) is a fine large picture of the death, in a Stag Hunt, by our townsman, Richd. Ansdell. The dogs, some of them gored and dying, are beautifully executed. This was recently painted, and the artist, we understand, after witnessing the hunt, purchased the stag and one of the dogs, so that he might convey a correct likeness of the animals. 163. Portraits of a Lady and her two Granddaughters, as large as life, is by Sir G. Hayter, painter to her majesty ; but though good likenesses, the picture, as a w h o l e , i s scarcely in the artist's happiest style. 114. " Fairies holding their Revels on the Sea Shore, at Night," is a beautiful and admirably poetical conception of the " gentle people" and their fantastic but innoxious gambols. Some are flying in a serpentine line, and others, that have alighted, are dancing as they proceed in a string beneath a natural rocky bridge, through which the moon beams are beautifully glinting. This is by the unfortu nate It. Dadd, whose name has recently been before the public. Amongst the portraits one of the best full-lengths is that of Josias Booker, Esq., by W. J. Bishop, professor at the Collegiate Institution, and to be placed in the board-room of that seminary. It is an admirable likeness, and in every respect highly creditable to the artist. 44. A. Bacchante Reclining, by Philip Westcott. There is something rich and mischievous in the figure and play ful countenance of this luxuriant female, well comporting with the lines in the catalogue from which the idea is de rived. The foreshortening and life-like transparent ap pearance of the flesh tints are managed in a masterly man ner. " The Waking Smile" of a lovely infant, (No. 17,) by Thomas Crane, is one of the finest and chastest produc tions in the room. The expression of the face and eyes is replete with juvenile health, innocence, happiness, and beauty. 39, (by the same,) portraits of a lady, and gentle man, and a child on horseback, in a rural plain, is also fine. This style of portrait painting, forming an entire scene, is an encroachment upon the usual system adopted by linners, and, we think, a pleasing one. The point lace tippet of the lady, and also her dress, are exquisitely painted, showing the peculiar richness of the respective fabrics. No. 18, an ancient baronial interior, by Wm. Coiling wood, is powerful and effective. . 73, a small moonlight scene, at Hampstead.with a black smith's shop lighted, in contrhst, by the ruddy fire, is a highly successful effort, by Mr. S. Eglinton, the active and zealous President of the Academy, whose anxiety to promote the fine arts in Liverpool is beyond all praise. 101, a scene in Wales, with children at a spring, by the same, is also a pleasing subject, and executed in a masterly manner. The Village Coquette, (89,) by George Lance, from the vivid description in Cowper's Task, is animated and clever. No. 91, The North Shore, Liverpool ; 96, Hasting's Beach ; and 122, Fishing Boats arriving at the same place, on a windy day, by our townsman, Mr. S. Walters, a member of the academy, are all spirited and excellent pro ductions of that talented marine painter. No. 153, Muscle Gatherers, at Hoylake, by the same, is to our taste still more pleasing. The figures on the far-extended sands, and a stranded vessel, are admirably and interestingly de lineated, and the shore of Crosby is beautifully shown in the extreme distance. " The Favourite in Mischief" (140) a Blenheim spa niel, caught overhauling his mistress's bandoir, and de stroying the contents for sheer amusement, is well con ceived and executed. The offender has just torn a bank note, and is holding up his paw and looking as if sensible of his delinquency and half assured of forgiveness. 109, The Cobler cogitating the New Poor Law Bill, by Westcott, is excellent, and would form an appropriate memento in the board. room of the three Bashaw Com missioners. A scene from Gil Bias, (110) by A. Egg, is on the whole good ; but there are some defects in the drawing, particularly as regards the lady's mouth. 112, Procession of Peasants near Naples on the festival of Pie de Grotta, by F.

The general annual licensing meeting of the magistrates, (adjourned from Monday, the 4th instant,) was held yes terday forenoon in the sessions -house, which, from the interest excited by its bei ng k nown that upwards of 300 publicans had, during the past year, been convicted of of fences against one or other of the statutes affecting them, which would, in some instances, be a bar to the renewal of their licenses,—was crowded to excess. There were on the bench his worship the Mayor, in the chair; and. Messrs. John Holmes, Richard Houghton, David Hodg son, and Wm. Rathbone. At the request of the Chairman, Mr. Ellis, the clerk, read the following minutes of a previous private meeting of the magistrates :—At a meeting of the magistrates held in the sessions -house, on Saturday, the 9th day of Sep tember, 1843, for the purpose of considering and deter mining upon the renewal of licenses to those publicans who have been convicted of offences during the last year,— present, Robertson Gladstone, Esq. &c. &c. List of the names of all publicans convicted of offences under the 9th George IV., 3th and sth William IV., and sth and 6th Victoria, between the Ist September, 1842, and the sth September, 1843, was laid before the magis trates, from which it appears that 180 were once convicted; 50 twice convicted, and 6 thrice convicted. The magistrates unanimously resolved,—That those publicans who have offended be informed that the magis trates are determined to enforce the observance of the sa lutary regulations imposed by the acts before mentioned, and they take this public opportunity of again announcing their determination in order that all parties interested may have ample notice. That though many of the cases on the list of first and second offences would justify the refusal or transfer of the license, yet, on the present occasion, it is not their inten tion to refuse the licenses of those publicans whose names are on the first and second lists. At the same time it must be distinctly understood that a record of all those offences stands against the publican's name in the license book. That the licenses of those publicans who have been three times convicted be refused. The Mayor then said, that, although the licenses were granted on this occ Ision to those who had offended once, and twice, publicans must not consider this as a guaran tee that the same leniency would be exercised hereafter, and it therefore became necessary that they should be ex tremely cautious. He then left the bench, and the busi ness of giving new licenses for the year to all publicans not objected to commenced,—Mr. Houghton presiding, end cautioning the parties in every case, who had been on one, or on two occasions, convicted of offences under the seve ral acts before noticed. Each, as usual, was required to pay a fee for the renewal of the license of is. 6d., and a considerable sum was collected during the day. The list was gone through with alphabetically.

Of those for the borough only 16 were granted ; and 1 for West Derby, and 1 for Kirkdale. The following is a liat of the successful candidates : John Fisher, Canning-plaee, (a removal.)

A letter has bcen received at Southampton, announcing the death (abroad) of Mr. B. Roy, formerly M.P. for that borough, from accident while shooting.

MUSICAL. SNUFFBOX.—Tarnburini has been lately sing ing at Marseilles, where, previous to his departure, be was presented by the dilettanti of the town with a hand some gold snuffbox. A letter from Baden, dated the 4th instant, states that Lieutenant-Coionel Goler is dead, in consequence of the wound which he received i❑ a duel with a Russian officer, who was killed on the spot, as stated in another column. Every man has in his own life follies enough, in his own mind troubles enough, in the performance of his duties deficiencies enough, without being curions about the affairs of others. The Queen Dowager has sent a donation of £5O to the fund of the Hereford musical festival. Her Majesty, through her treasurer, has transmitted £2O in aid to the subscription for the erectio❑ of an additional church at Morpeth, Northumberland. THE SUBLIME AND THE RIDICULOUS.—Sir C. F. Williams, the Bankruptcy Commissioner, observed a bankrupt leaning upon the desk. " Sir," says the great little man (or vice versa), " you have been sworn, and your present attitude is neither respectful to your God nor to me !"—Farley's Bristol Journal. FATAL ACCIDENT.—Lsst Wednesday evening, as several young gentlemen were bathing upon the sands, near the pier -head, one of them, a youth of 15, son of the late Mr. Francis, High-street, was suddenly knocked down by a wave, disappeared, and was drowned. At the time the accident happened the tide was at its height; and in abont two hours, the tide having receded a considerable dis tance, the lifeless body of the unfortunate youth was found.-7'he Welchman. RAMSGATE, Sept. O.—A most mysterious occurrence took place here, which, we hope, for the public satisfac tion, will be cleared up by the Post-office authorities, and the parties iaterested obtain that satisfaction their case demands. The Agenora, fishing-smack, belonging to this port, Snell master, when about five miles from the North Foreland, sailing to this place, discovered a box floating on the water; they lowered a boat, and picked it up, and on examining its contents, it was found to contain about 90 letters, besides a number of newspapers, and from the address on the box, it appears, they had been sent by the General Post-office by the ship George, or Royal George, to Sydney. some time last year; and it is surmised that the vessel has made the voyage, and the box being over looked, returned without delivering the letters; and that in order to avoid discovery and evade the penalty (X 500), the box was thrown overboard at the entrance of the Thames, as two 71b. weights were attached to the box, on purpose, apparently, to sink it. It was delivered to Her Majesty's Customs, thence to London, for the inquiry to be instituted.—Kent Herald. An astronomical correspondent informs us, that, since the Ist of September, there has been a great increase of shooting stars, and that, in the north, he has repeatedly seen Ursa Major, with his two pointers.—Punch. ORIGIN OF FIRE ENGINES.—The first idea of our pre sent fire engines was given in a curious, work called ' A Treatise named Lucar-solace," by Cyprian Lucar, 4to, London, 1590, page 157 ; where may be found a❑ account, with an engraving of " a squirt which hath been devised to cast much water upon a burning house ; wishing a like squirt and plenty of water to be always in a readiness where fire may do harm. IMPORTANCE OF EARLY TRAINING.—The pursuit of eminence in trifles, the common sign of a bad heart, is an infallible proof of a feeble und ers t an di ng. A man ma, di s h on our his birth, ruin his estate, lose his reputation and destroy his health, for the sake of being the firs jockey or the favourite courtier of his day. Arid how should it be otherwise, when from the lips when other lessons should have proceeded, selfishness has been in culcated as a duty, a desire for vain distinctions and the love of pelf encouraged as virtues, and a splendid equi page, or it may be some bodily advantage, pointed out as the highest object of human ambition? To set the just value on every enjoyment, to choose noble and becoming objects of pursuit, are the first lessons a child should learn; and if he does not learn their rudiments on his mother's knees, he will hardly acquire the knowledge of them elsewhere. The least disparagement of virtue, the slightest admiration for trifling and merely extrinsic ob jects, may produce an indelible effect on the tender mind of youth ; and the mother who has taught her son to bow down to success, to pay homage to wealth and station, which virtue aril ceaius should alone appropriate, is the person to wh( m the meanness of the crouching syco phant, the tre, , thery of the trading politician, the brutality of the life must e t , a and ttribu t the B avarice ia c o k t n, ' the ood ,sm sordid aa a m z r i s n e e r, in after — I : . b su a lN l 1 i n n e G n daAh Juner.
