Vottrp. ON THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST. Behold! He comes, the Saviour comes, The host of heaven attends ; With trumpet and Archangel's voice, The glorious King descends. The trumpet's blast awakes his dead, Immortal to remain ; Then living saints are changed, and join To meet the sacred train. That every blast that wakes his dead, Brings death to all:his foes; The flaming heavens and trembling earth His awful wrath disclose. The cup with indignation SlVd, For blood of martyrs slain, To Anti-Christ is given, with charge-- Drink all, let none remain. That Babylon the Great is fall'n, Resounds from shore to shore: Cast, like a millstone, in the deep, She sinks to rise no more. Christ's reign on earth with all his saints, The seventh days' rest explains ; Then comes that never ending week-- All's new—all new remains. Liverpool. By JAMES PALMER. THE SCOTTISH BEACONS. " On the evening of Wednesday, when her Majesty en tered the Frith of Forth, the magnificent sight burst upon us of beacon-fires lighted on all the conspicuous Scottish hills, and was imposing in the extreme. " On the coast around, in East Lothian, in Mid-Lothian, in Linlithgow, in Fife, and Clackmannan, bonfires blazed on all the remarkable heights, all announcing the cordial wel come that awaited her Majesty from Scotland and her Scot tish subjects; while in Edinburgh, the summit of Arthur's seat seemed a blaze of fire, shedding a flood of light over the surrounding heights and the valley below, and giving an aspect of wild grandeur to all its romantic scenery. " It has fallen to my lot to witness beautiful illuminations in various parts of the world. I have seen the cities of Rio de Janeira, of Lima, and of Santiago, lighted up in all their splendour; the city and all the shores of the Bay of Naples, and even the dome of St. Peter's at Rome, but I remember nothing that has made so deep an impression as our passage up the Frith of Forth on this occasion."—Extract from Narrative of an Officer on board the Rogal Squadron. The beacon fires are blazing high On all the Scottish hills. Tasselling the mantle of the sky — Tinging the mountain rills. What means this blaze so broad and bright, And glorious in the gloom of night? The fox in the far glen was stirred, And started from his lair ; Upon her perch the mountain bird Was wakened with the glare. And deemed, on springing from the spray, Her eye was dazzled with the day. A hundred flickering fires have lent Their splendour to the night, And deep the ruddy firmament Is blushing at the sight— Where, at the sunset, all was rest Each hill waves high its fiery crest. Has, as of old, a southron band • A-rnss the border sped, And, fast accoutreing, through the land, Do mustering warriors tread ? And is it thus the news of war The nation telegraphs afar? No bloody sign of feud or foe Yon waving fires have given— Like stars of peace, their rays they throw Across the arch of heaven; They tell to realms that love her sway, That Ocean's Queen is on her way. Aye ! even now yon blazing peak* Has caught her kindling eye, With heaving heart and flushing cheek, She knows Dun-Edin nigh ; Here Holyrood throws back the glow— Forth spreads and sparkles far below. A nation's pulse is beat;ng fast, And throbbing high for thee ; Its eye is strained to catch thy mast Appearing on the sea— And many a loving heart and band Shall welcome thee to Scottish land. 0 Lord ! by thee do princes reign— Their power, their pride are thine ! Let thy strong arm our Queen sustain, And long preserve her line! 0, King of kings ! her foes repel ! Froth force, from falsehood, shield her well! * Arthur's Seat. THE NEW TOWN OF FLEETWOOD. B. We feel happy in being enabled to extract the following from the Manchester Courier, from its account of the Preston Guild, as doing justice to the new and beautiful watering place—Fleetwood. Fleetwood is two hours and a half ride by railway from Liverpool and Manchester : " We find we have omitted to state in the proper place, that of the 5,514 children belonging to the National and other public schools, who were entertained and promenaded during Friday, 190 were sent down by the Preston and Wyre Railway to the new and elegant marine town of Fleetwood, where they were entertained in the most liberal manner, at the North Euston Hotel, by Mr. Kilner, the house steward, in the absence of Mr. Vautini, the spirited lessee. Mr. Kilner considerately extending the same attention to his bumbler visitors, so scrupulously observed towards all who visit the hotel for pleasure or sanative advantages, adorned the tables laid out in the assembly-room with some of the magnificent plate of the establishment, and the children werc in other respects permitted to enjoy a most delightful visit. All this, owing to the admirable regularity and judicious arrangements which mark the internal economy of this vast and truly magnificent hotel, was effected without the slightest inconvenience to the other inmates. " Fleetwood is indeed one of the wonders of the north. Within some five or six years. by the energy and enterprise of the honourable baronet whose name it bears, seconded by agents of integrity and ability, a barren waste has been con verted into a populous and elegant town, that will already vie with any of our English watering places, in point of salu brity and beauty of situation, combined with taste and grandeur of construction, with a prospect of becoming, at no distant day, highly important in a commercial point of view. The single line of the Preston and Wyre Railway— constructed with a view to add another pair of rails when the traffic of the place shall call for it—is of itself a singular specimetl of those triumphs of art over the difficulties of nature that have distinguished the present age, and reflects high credit upon the skill of Mr. Bidder, the resident civil engineer. For three miles at the Fleetwood end, the line is constructed on piles across the low lands of the Fylde, being washed on each side by the waters of the Irish channel when the tide is at the flood, and presenting the singular appear ance of a railway through the sea. Yet, from the massive character of the works the transit is perfectly safe. The next object of attraction is the North Euston Hotel, a truly splendid structure not surpassed, if indeed it is equalled, in extent, accommodation, comfort, or elegance, by any similar establishment in th- kingdom. With every luxury that per tains to the most recherche of the London hotels, it has the additional advantages of repose from the bustle and din of a populous city, coupled with a fresh and salubrious atmosphere, and an adjacent country abouding in attractions to the ad mirers of fine scenery. " We were happy to learn from Mr. Jones, the intelligent and active scenery of the Fleetwood Company, that Sir Hesketh Fleetwood, with a generosity and disinterestedness that do him honour, has voluntarily given up his family seat of Rossall Hall, for the purposes of the propose d Fleetwood Colleges. This is a noble example, worthy of emulation by the public : and we hope soon to be enabled to announce the establishment of an institution that promises such valuable advantages to the rising generation." - - --- _ TH E BLACK CROW . —The above bird is the most mis chievous of all the feathered tribe throughout India. He is a most daring thief, and will enter the dining rooms of families when they are engaged at their meals, and cat ry off some choice dainty that he may have set his eye upon. He will battle with the " Kitmudtears" (dinner bearers,) and seldom sustains a defeat before he has kidnapped some delicate morsel from the plates they are sustaining. If any missile is dismissed at him, he will, by using a vocabulary or signal, collect together some hundreds of " birds of his own feather" around the premises, and mob the whole house with a deafening clamour which is truly intoletable. When cows or oxen are swimming a river, he is sure to be with them, and, hitching his black effigy upon their horns, keeps striking with his horny beak at the animals eyes, which causes them to immerse their heads under water, so that in some instances, when the rivers are broad to cross, the animals are drowned. PARISIAN GULLIBILITY.—A few days since, a lady dressed in the first style of fashion, and followed by a nurse bearing a young infant, entered a fashionable shawl depot and requested to be shown some of their most expensive Cashmeres. After some time she fixed on two, amounting together to about 3,000 f., and, putting her hand in her reti -le. for the amount, expressed well-feigned surprise at not the se,r‘dianrect, find ing, her pocket-book.

It unfor tunately happened that as the safety fuse with which the hole was charged was longer than was necessary, they incon siderately took a sharp stone to cut a piece of it off, and ig nition instantaneously commenced. They both flew to the kibble, and cried out to the man at the brace to " wind up ;" but alas ! after trying with all his might be could not start them. At this awful moment (when the furious hissing of the fuse assured them that their destruction was within half a minute's march of them) Verran sprang out of the kibble, exclaiming to his comrade Roberts, "Go on, bro ther, I shall be in heaven in a minute !" consequently, Ro berts was drawn up, and Verran threw himself down, and placed his poor devoted head under a piece of plank in one corner of the s h a ft, awaiting th e m oment when he should be blown to atoms.

The Right Hon. W, E. Gladstone is recovering from the effect of his recent accident. The revising barristers for London have decided that light sovereigns tendered in payment of rates is a good tender. Captain Elliott, the late British Resident at Canton, arrived at New Orleans on the sth inst., in the British Steamer Forth. Sir John Pirie's successor as Lord Mayor for the year en suing will be Alderman Thomas Wood. BARRING OUT A BISHOP.—The Limerick Chronicle states that Binghamstown Chapel has been barricaded against Dr. Feeny, acting Roman Catholic Bishop of Killala, Mayo. Sir Matthew Wood, Bart., M.P., has purchased the ex teusive property in Cheltenham formerly belonging to the late Jemmy Wood. The legal records of the trial of Queen Anne Boleyn, which were supposed to have been destroyed, have recently been discovered amongst the ancient documents of the court of Queen's Bench. The library of the late M. Sismondi, which is so particu larly rich in historical works, is bequeathed to Professor Rossi, of Paris, after the death of Madame Sismondi. By an act of the last session of parliament, which is to come into force on the Ist of October, the stage-coach duty, per mile, is reduced one-half,—viz., from 3d. to lid. The Privy Council have given directions for the preparation of a form of thanksgiving to Almighty God, for the late mani festation of His goodness by the most bountiful harvest that has, in the memory of roan, ever graced this country. The report published by a Lancaster paper, that the Duke of Brunswick had been apprehended at Preston on a charge of felony, is untrue; and it is said his highness has legal proceedings to be instituted against the promoters of the scandal. In the Quartier de Recouvrance, at Brest, an immense foundry for marine steam-engines is being constructed, and, on the north of the town the Minister of War is raising forti fications of considerable extent. The Bishop of Lichfield, Dr Bowstead, is convalescent, and the affairs of the diocese will henceforward be managed by his lordship instead of the commission which was ap pointed to act during the right reverend prelate's severe illness. The most delightful weather continues to prevail through out the north of England. There is now but little corn out even in the high districts, and never within the memory of man were the crops secured in the barnyard in finer condi tion.—New:astle Journal.

Worcester Musical Festival, being the 119th meeting of the three choirs of Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester, commenced on Tuesday. The collection on that day amounted to £304 16s, 7d., and the aggregate of the two days is £655.65. 11d., being £173 16s. lid. more than the collections of the corresponding two days at the last festival. THE PRINCE OF WALES'S NURSE.—We (John o' Groat Journal) are authorised to state that there is not the slightest foundation for the report, which lately appeared in our journal, copied from a London evening paper, that the nurse of the Prince of Wales has been dismissed through her over-love of gin. CRUELTY TO ANIMALB.—Lieut. M'Kenzie, of the 90th regiment, now stationed in Drogheda, was fined LI at the petty sessions on Wednesday last, for violently kicking and Fishing with a whip one of the horses of the Belfast night mail. On Wednesday week the Very Rev. Principal Lee waited on Prince Albert at Dalkeith Palace, and delivered to his Royal Highness the diploma of L.L.D., conferred by the Senatus Academicus of the Edinburgh University. The diploma was enclosed in a case of elegant workmanship, and was most graciously received by Prince Albert. ELOPEMENT EXIRAORDINARY.—A county Down cot-• respondent informs us, that the Roman Catholic priest of a parish, in his neighbourhood, induced a young girl, one of his parishioners, to elope with him. The parties, we are told, went by different routes to meet him in Liverpool, but nothing further had been heard of their movements.—Ulster Times. EXECUTIONS.—In 1630, Richard Budd, Esq., gave to the dean and chapter of Winchester £4O, that they should cause a prayer annexed to his will to be read by a minister, over night, to condemned prisoners, before their execution ; and admonition thereto annexed, to be also read to them as they were going to execution ; and to cause the great hell in the tower of the cathedral church to be tolled before such exe cuti on. INCOME TAX IN IRELAND.—The notifications from the office of the Poymaster-General of the Forces have already apprized half-pay officers, widows, and others receiving pen. mons or allowances through that department, that they must pay the income-tax, although residing in Ireland. All the barrack masters in Ireland have received notifications that 7d. in the pound (income-tax) would be deducted out of their last half year's salary. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—An accident, attended with fatal consequences, occurred at the Low Wood Inn, near Ambleside, on Friday evening last. There were several par ties in the house, who, after having enjoyed a good dinner, Mr. Jackson immediately went into the garden, and got into one of the trees for the purpose of plucking some fruit, when the branch of which he had hold gave way, and he fell to the ground, pitching upon the back of his neck, and injuring his spine so much that after lingering in great agony till Sunday morning he expired. DISASTROUS ACCIDENT IN A COAL-PIT.—On Saturday last, while four masons were at work walling the sides of a coal-pit at Timsbury, belonging to Messrs. Palmer, Paris, and Co., the engineer let down what are termed the "bodges," full of coal. Seeing themselves in eminent danger from the approach of one of these hodges, they called out to the man to stop it; but from cause hitherto unexplained, he took no notice of it, and let down the hodge with the usual velocity. The fearful consequence was that the four men were killed on the spot by the tremendous contact of the heavy vehicle with their bodies.—Bath Chronicle. The Galway Vindicator gives the following extract of a letter, bearing date t 13th of June, at Jellalabad, written' by a soldier of the 13th Light Infantry, to his relatives in Galway :—" We are again to march to Cabool about the Ist July, and carry a war of extermination through Affg,hanistan, sparing neither man, woman, nor child. You are aware that they have a number of our officers and men and ladies pri soners, whom if they don't give up to us by the 26th of this month, we are to carry the above order into effect. Until I see the result of the season I can say nothing more!' THE MONUMENT MAN lA.—On Saturday, as a party of five or six persons were ascending the staircase of the column of July, on the Place de la Bastille, for the purpose of view. ing Paris from the top, they were followed by a young man, apparently little more than 22 years of age. He remained on the platform after they had quitted, and in a few inornents eot over the balustrade, and threw himself off. When picked up he was quite dead. His head was dreadfully frac tured, and all his limbs were broken. There ,as no paper about him to indicate who he was, but it was evident that want had not driven him to the act, as he had a watch and several pieces of coin in his pockets. LONDON REPORTERS.—SeveraI of the leading metropo litan journals had special reporters following her Majesty's route through Scotland. He for the Times gave a very lau datory description of the royal entrance into Perth and all the arrangements connected therewith, and pays the en trance gate the high compliment of mistaking it for free stone, expressing the greatest surprise that such a structure could have been completed in sixteen days. The Sasseliach reporters make frightful havoc among the Highland names ; Aberfludy, Kinmell, and Ballininaund, figuring off in the Scone to Taymouth, to the utter confusion of Highland sta tistics.—Scolch paper. THE NEW FRENCH PROTESTANT CHURCH.—This church which has lately been built as a substitute fur the one that for merly stood in Threadneedle-street, is now nearly co m pl e t e d, and will be opened for public service in the course of next month. It is built under the powers of the Charter granted by King Edward VI., in the 15th century, to the French protestant Consistoire, and which, amongst other things, commends the order to the care and protection of the Arch bishops and Bishops of this realm. The cost incurred in its erection, including site, is estimated as between £7,000 and £B,OOO. Two French divines, M. Martin and another, have been appointed to officiate by the Consistoire, b whom the patronage is invested.—London paper. BARBAROUS MURDER.—The inhabitants of Mallow and its vicinity were horrified a few days since by the discovery that a brutal murder had been committed at a place called Rahan, three miles from that town. On the police repairing to the spot, it was ascertained that a poor man, who had been left in charge of an orchard was attacked by a gang of fellows, who attempted to steal the apples, and murdered in a savage manner. His skull was smashed with sticks and stones, and the sanguinary wretches actually attempted to force into his brother's house afterwards, doubtless with the intention of immolating another victim. Three of the ruffians concerned have been apprehended.—lrish paper. SEIZURE OF TOBACCO.—A seizure of contraband tobacco was made at Passage of Waterford, late on Friday afternoon, on board the schooner Eliza Anne, John Adair, master, of and from Liverpool, bound for New Ross—apparently laden with salt. The salt was only a cover for tobacco. The vessel and cargo were immediately put under seizure, and the crew (four in number) were taken into custody. The vessel was brought up to the city on Saturday morning, and her salt and tobacco were taken out and landed. Four hundred and seventy bales of tobacco were found, which at 601bs. each, amount to 28,6201 b. The captain, mate, and crew were brought before the mayor, and committed by him for further examination.— Waterford Mirror. SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.—Many of the colliers have re sumed their labour, at (as we expected) the prices previously paid. No " drop," of course, has been submitted to; on the contrary, the abolition of the " bildasses " and some other hardships, places the collier in a better position. In our immediate neighbourhood, six firms in the iron trade hold out for the reduction. They state that they expect their wishes will be immediately complied with. We have no means of judging of the accuracy of this expectation ; but as we have already indicated, it is nothing but dread necessity that will bring the workmen into those terms—and how far they are likely to be lasting all may judge. The price of iron, during this unhappy struggle, has advanced £1 per ton.—w e i ver hampton Chronicle. SHARK CAUGHT IN BERWICK BAY.—On Friday morn ing, as one of the boats was engaged in the turbot fishing, about two miles and a half to the eastwa r d o f Berwick, the fishermen (John Watson and William Maltman), were greatly surprised by a fish of unusual shape and dimensions becoming entangled with their net, and which, on being taken up with some difficulty, proved to be a fine young shark. H e measured eight feet in length by four feet eight inches in girth, and had all the characteristics of the species distinctly marked. The weight is supposed to be about 20 stone. The captors have since been exhibiting the fish in Berwick, and it has attracted a good deal of attention.—Berwick Warder. ALLEGED FAILURES IN LONDON.—TWO failures were Spoken of on Monday, one of which is said to be connected with the corn trade; but as no authentic announcement has yet been made, we are inclined to believe the assertion originated out of the unsettled state of the market, and was not founded on truth. There can be no doubt but that many housesst v a e n n c fluctuation just hich has taken place in the price of corn, and : a: 0 : f hi now placed in much difficulty by the severe that those w w ho h have speculated on the chance of the main naturally p T rf i d e uc fvn e / t th ra a d n e,zln o c mo e it is seen good, of 0a that e deal firm o o f f uneasiness ub i n ski, theDa n cornt z i c , sd l lexu u er e a2ne s o , th must be in a state bordering on in_ liabilities.—Shipping their present assets are not more Gazette. , to cover £150,000, debts and THE SCOTCH REGAL' ette on her Majesty's visit to Edin burgh Castle, the crown, sceptre, above, where were, as previously i removed r t t o o an be anpiaorrtemeeonntvaebnbiee the light was stronger, inspected by Her Majesty and the Prince.

Notwithstanding the fine weather experienced during the harvest, which raised the hopes of the farmer from deep des pair, it has continued equally favourable for the preparing the ground for neat season's culture. Seldom has snch weather been known. The harrowing operations are forwardly ad vanced, and everything at present bears the brightest pros pects.—Kentish Gazette. As the following fact may not be generally known by our readers, we translate it from a French journal for their be nefit :—French Editor loquitur—" Ninety-nine times in a hundred we thresh the English in the battle-field ; ninety nine times in a hundred they thresh us in diplomacy." The French reads very much like Lord Palmerston's. It certainly was not penned by the hero of Waterloo. CAPTAIN SMITH, THE COMMANDER AT PORT NATAL. —Captain Smith, whose gallant defence reflects so much honour on his name, is, we believe, a native of Dublin—the same who, some years since, being forced into a quarrel on national grounds, fought the Captain of an American frigate at Gibraltar, and, although wounded three times, continued the fight without letting his second know he had been hit. Captain Smith was also wounded at Waterloo, and has now added to his reputation the character of possessing as much prudence and foresight in the camp as gallantry in the field. —Dublin Evening Mail. NEW PATENT OMNIBUS.—Some omnibuses of rather a novel description have lately been plying between Islington and Chelsea. They are provided with a small brass box on the left hand side of the door, in which are placed three drums marked with figures; the first with units as far as 9, the second with tens as far as 90, and the third with hundreds as far as 900. Passengers entering the vehicle are obliged to press upon some iron rods, similar in their action to the toll gates on Waterloo-bridge. These rods are connected with a tube under the roof, which, acting like a key upon the drums causes each passenger to mark his own number, so that the proprietors are enabled at the end of the day to ascertain how many persons their omnibus has carried without trusting to theconductors. The rods also serve the purpose of assisting passengers to their seats, and of preventing liability to ac cident by the omnibus suddenly moving on. NEW FOWLING PIECES.—At the Paris Academy of Sciences two fowling pieces were produced, the invention of M. Philippe Matthien, which possess the following advan tages :—After each discharge the gun immediately re-cocks itself, and a new charge is conveyed in the direction of the barrel. This is repeated five or six times, and with such ra pidity that the gun can be discharged five times in three seconds. If the sportsman does not wish to fire with this rapidity, he can stop the action, and wait any time he pleases between each discharge. It was stated that the combina tions of the mechanism were such as to prevent accidental explosion. This invention is not new. Baron Heurteloup, the celebrated lithotritist, more than two years ago produced a fowling-piece and a musket on this principle, and, accord ing to report, he has made such improvements that double the number of charges of M. Mathien's gun may be fired in almost the same space of time.—French paper. SEDGWICK POWDER MILLS, NEAR KENDAL.—A serious explosion took place at these mills about a quarter before two o'clock on the morning of Saturday last. No idea can be formed as to the occasion of the accident; but, at the time mentioned, the watchman, who had been his round and found all right, had returned to the watch-house, which he had scarcely entered ere the first blow occurred, and sent in after him the door which he had closed the moment before. The extent of the damage done cannot be accurately esti mated until it has been repaired; but four mills, with their contents, were destroyed ; and many windows in the neigh bouring cottages, with several panes in Sedgwick House, the residence of J. Wakefield, Esq., one of the proprietors, were shattered. The grinding mills, in which the explosion oc curred, are erected in pairs, one water-wheel turning two pairs of stones; and the two pairs of mills blown up were sepa rated by an interval of about twenty yards. Fortunately no life was sacrificed, and no personal injury sustained by any one.—Kendal Mercury. THE NEW STREET PILLAR GUIDE.—This is a plan for the purpose of furnishing, by means of a column with six sides, upon which the various names are inscribed, informa tion as to the residences of the different tradesmen, public institutions, post-offices, cab-stands, police and fire stations in the particular district in which the pillar is placed. his also provided with finger-posts, so as to point, when placed in a central position, to the principal thoroughfares from that spot. The top is to be surmounted with the Bode light, and at the base is to be a place set apart for returned letters in that district, and for property lost or found. The interior which is hollow, contains a fire-alarm, the keys of which are confided to the care of the police. There is also a repo sitory for fire-escapes, and an aparatus for using rocket signals, so as to telegraph information, in the event of a fire, to the various engine-houses. The titles of the different streets are placed at the top of a column, whiie the names of the tradesmen, with the numbers of the shops, occupy the sides of the shaft. Several of them are about to be erected in Holborn and elsewhere.—Morning Herald. It is a fact that the Arrangements made by the magistrates of Stirling, of which otherwise everything in praise should be said, included a rather novel mode of admitting and re ceiving the Queen into the burgh. An arch having been erected at the boundary (real or supposed) of the burgh with something like the appearance of a barrier, it was natural to suppose that the authorities would be waiting within the barrier, there to receive their Sovereign and tender their fealty. But, alas ! the town's wright had reared his scaffold on the outer side—that is, beyond the boundary, where the magistrates had no authority at all; and, accordingly, when the Queen's postillions drove up, although they had pre viously got strict orders from her Majesty to stop where the authorities were stationed, they were driving past the bar rier, and would have drawn np on the right side, had not her Majesty herself perceived the blunder, and called out in a sharp voice " Stop ! slop !" and it was not till then that the provost discovered he was not in his own burgh at all when receiving the Queen!—Stirling Paper. DOUBLE COSTS AND LIMITATIONS OF ACTIONS.—An act waa passed during the last session, under which some material alterations will be effected in actions at law. The principle of the measure is uniformity in all actions res pecting costs, the pleading of the general issue, and giving notice in cases where notice of action is required. These several matters have been gathered into one form. This act, which came into operation on the 10th of August, all actions from that period under statutes of a local and per sonal nature, repeals the giving of double or treble costs, and in lieu thereof gives costs as between party and party. The second section provides that in all public acts wher e double or treble costs have been given, in future only costs between party and party shall be awarded, besides all expenses incurred in the prosecution of the proceedings. The next clause repeals the general issue under local acts and in the following—all actions in which notice is required to be given, such notice must be given at least one month before the bringing of such actions. The act further pro vides that all actions under local acts must be commenced within two years, or in case of continuing damage, then within one year after the same shall have ceased.

This will be highly prejudicial to our country, or by no means advan tageous to the English ; but, although the distance be longer by that road than through France, their correspondence will follow it in preference. in order to avoid the delays and vex ations of every description which their couriers have experi enced in France. Such is the result of the impediments opposed to commercial and political relations by a narrow minded and teasing administration." On the other hand, we perceive by Galignani's Messenger, that M. Dubost, one of the heads of the French post-office, left Paris on Thurs day for London, " This gentleman," it says, "is charged by the government to negotiate a new postoffice treaty on a much larger and more liberal basis than the existing one. The arrangements contemplated in M. Dubost's mission ex tend also, we understand, to the more rapid transmission of the Indian mail from Marseilles, and to the putting an end to the vexatious delays and difficulties which the couriers of the London press have hitherto experienced in carrying their despatches through France." The Lord Bishop of Ossory, , Ferns, and Leighlin, has added his name to the already large number of right reverend pre lates who have spoken in condemnation of the proceedings of the Puseyite party. In his charge to the clergy at his primary isitation of the united dioceses, just concluded, his lordship, after referring to ministerial duties, and to the present con dition and future prospects of the church, expressed his satis faction in believing that there was no need for him to admi nister caution to his reverend brethren who surrounded him against the singularity of dress, and gesture, and posture which one hears from time to time of beirfg introduced by individual ministers, with a kind of apparent conceit, into the service of the church in England. Ile was happy to believe that in the dioceses under his more immediate superinten dence, and those of Ireland generally, there was no trace of such fopperies. The system of the " Tract " writers then engaged his lordship's consideration. He proceeded to an exposure of the numerous fallacies of the arguments used by them in support of their views, and contended that they were akin to the arguments of jesusitical sophistry, to which, he said, they could only be compared. BANK Or ENGLAND.—The usual return of the quarterly average of weekly liabilities and assets of the Bank of Eng land from the 18th of June to the 10th of September both inclusive, were given in the Gazelle of Friday. As com pared with the previous quarterly returns from the 21st of May to the 13th of August, the results are as follows : Circulation, present return .. former . LIABILITIES. Increase..

SvOIIR THE COMPOSER.—The following is the letter of S rn p e o n n t r a t t o h e sn being r u i e n nd ab l M e t r. ' op r r a o y c l e o e r d , a t n o n o N u o n r c w i c g his is a h ; Dearpp oi and nt honoured Friend,—Although I was somewhat prepared for the second refusal of our Elector, yet when it came and the long-cherished hope of my visit to Norwich was finally ex tinguished, it was a severe blow. To his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge I ahall always be grateful for his g prompt interce ss i on, and I be you to offer him my warmest acknowledgments f or his condescending kindness. I con sole myself with thinking th at my oratorio will be conducted by you. I have no anxiety respecting its performance. The or chestral difficulties are les s than those of Calvary, and to y o ur band they will present no ne . Th e accompanie recita tives of Belshazzar will requi re t h e greatest s h are of atten tion. The quartet, • Strike th e h arp, " would, to some singers, appear difficult, but in unaccompanied t • par -music you English excel all others. I remember the performance of some of your glees as finished specimens of this kind of song. The last two choruses of the oratorio I should especi ally have wished to have heard at Norwich, as my orchestra here did not execute them to my satisfaction. With you I know that the prescribed pianos' and fortes' will be ob served. But I will not make my heart heavy by such fruit less wishes. Let me beg of you to express to the committee my deep regret that I cannot comply wtih their wish. For y grief at being s deprived t er fthe Norwich festival I wrote the Fal l of Bab y lon, a nd there I o h r m o p a e n d c e t . o b T e o p t re h s e e m n t a , y o a r n d c o t n o v e h y a v m e of the pleasure of again being under his hospitable roof. Debarred from the gratification of seeing you in England, let me now look forward to that of seeing you again at Cas sel. Farewell. Make me happy by a long account of the proceedings at the festival, and confirm my wishes for its success. Our warmest greetings to the members of your " family.--From my heart, wholly yours.—." Lovis SPORE. VARIETIES. SPONGING . —Getting your advertising done and then re fusing to pay—and borrowing a neighbour's newspaper. A WATER Don.—" Does your dog take the water ?" said a gentleman to a rustic, who had a water-spaniel following him. "Why, yes, sir, if they put meal in't," was the reply. Agricultural Meetings and cattle shews are now taking place in the south, daily, and increasing interest is shewn in their welfare. " I resolve," says Bishop Beverage, " never to speak of a man's virtues before his face, nor of his faults behind his back—a rule, the observance of which would, at one stroke, banish from society both flattery and defamation." If you wish to get genuine port wine, you must go yourself to Oporto, make your own wine, and then ride astraddle on the barrel all the way home. The following gallant toast was lately giver, at a dinner to General Dudley, in North Carolina :—" The ladies—our arms their protection — their arms our reward." NEW Civic HONOURS.—A countrywoman asking the ser vant of one of the magistrates how he was bearing his new honours, was informed that since '• the Bailie had gotten a sword, the house wou'dna haud him !" DIRECTIONS FOR SPRING LAWYERS.—Prune luxuriant actions, and nail up backward clients in a good situation for sprouting.—Make up hot beds by raking up old slander and all sorts of manure that are available. MARCH OF INTELLECT. — The subjoined note was sent by a worthy yeoman of Devonshire to a schoolmaster, excusing the absence of his son :—Mr. C., Plis 2 hex skoos Wm. Yonge vur i gip im whom.—T. Yong."—Western Luminary. SCRUPLES.—" Joe, how many scruples is there in a drachm ?" " Don't know zur." " Well, remember, there's eight." " Eight ! pooh ! dad always takes his without no scruples !" A sub-editor announces that the editor of the paper is unwell, and piously adds, . • 1 All good paying subscribers are requested to make mention of him in their prayers—the other class need not do it, as the prayers of the wicked availeth nothing—according to good authority." —American paper. In the event of the death of a young Chinese woman under 19 years of age, says Mr. Davis, a paper effigy is made by the parents, and the intended husband receives the effigy home to his house, with the bridal rites, he then burns the effigy, and erects a tablet to her memory. ROYAL WlT.—When one of the Lords in Waiting pre sented the Queen with a biscuit, his lordship was pitched by a sudden lurch on to that end which is technically called his beam —. Her Majesty, on observing this, requested that further ceremony might be dispensed with, as Neptune was evidently determined upon waving it.—Punch. RATHER FREE ON A SHORT ACQ UAINTANCE .—Th e Cin- cinnati Microscope says that the elephant one day last week, while the performance was going on, reached his trunk into a lady's bosom and took an apple out, much to the affright of the young lady and the amusement of the crowd. Oh, the monster! CLEANSING THE SKIN.—In order to enjoy good health, it is as necessary to cleanse the skin of every part of the body as the hands and face. If you once begin to make a rule to wash the whole body at least once a week, either by bathing or otherwise, in cold water, the vigour and hilarity of feeling you will experience will amply repay you for the labour. Try it a few weeks, it will cost next to nothing. COCKNEY WIT.—Two gentlemen took a boat at Black friars-bridge to go to the Tower. One of them asked the other, who sat beside him, if he could tell him what coun tryman the waterman was. He replied he could not. " Then," said the friend, " I can ; be is a Ro-tnan." A cockney being told the above said the pun was Wherry good. Dr. Morrison says, in some provinces in China a public notice is issued by wealthy parents to obtain a husband for their daughter ; this is done by the affluent who are unwilling to part with their child, and who, therefore, bring the son in-law into their own family, instead of the usual practice of sending the daughter from home. A graceless scamp, says the Boston Bee, was recently heard singing the following : • " When I can shoot my rifle clear, To pigeons in the skies, I'll bid farewell to pork arid beans, And live on good pot-pies." He was alone by himself at the time and returning from an unsuccessful hunt after peeps and sand-snipe. DIGNITY OF GASTRONOMIC DISCOVERIES.—A patriotic Frenchman has observed—" I regard the discovery of a dish as a far more interesting event than the discovery of a star ; for we have always stars enough, but can never have too many dishes; and I should not regard the science as suf ficiently honoured, or represented among us, until I see a cook in the first class of the ins Unite." JUDGES' CIRCUITS IN NEWFOUNDLAND.—UnIess in the winter time, when ice turns the water into a solid road, land locomotion must be carried on afoot ; and a tedious and toil some task it is. Two miles an hour is the mean of walking in Newfoundland. The sea is consequently the great high way ; even the circuits are made round the coast, in a vessel fitted up for all the legal functionaries, from the Judge, coun sellors, and so forth, down to the tipstaff. A DUTCH WITNESS.—The following rich scene recently occurred in one of our courts of justice, between the judge and a Dutch witness all the way from Rotterdam :—Judge--- " What's your native language ?" Witness—" I pe no native ; I's a Dootchman." Judge—" W hat is your mother tongue ?" Witness—" 0, fader say she pe all tongue." Judge (in an irritable tone),—" What language did you first learn ; what language did you first speak in the cradle?" Witness—" I tid not speak no language in to cradle at all ; I only cried in Dootch. ' Then there was a general laugh, in which the judge, jury, and audience joined. The witness was interrogated no further about his native language.—New Orleans Picayune. EXECUTION FOIL PARRICIDE.—The execution of Langlois for parricide, took place last week at Forges-les-Eaux, near Rouen. His love of money, which was the motive of his crime, was strong to the last. He was exceedingly anxious about a sum of some thousand francs which lie had placed for safety at the register's-office at Evreux. He asked for some brandy when the executioner, with his assistants entered to cut off his hair, and, after drinking several glasses, declared he was ready to meet his fate like a man. He, in fact, did exhibit extraordinary coolness during the whole preparations for his end, walking with a firm step to the scaffold, and hearing the judgment read with great calmness. In less than half a minute after the reading of the document had concluded he had ceased to exist. ANECDOTE OF SHERlDAN.—Sheridan used to say that the life of a manager was like the life of the ordinary of Newgate —a constant superintendence of executions. The number of authors whom he was forced to extinguish was, he said, a perpetual literary massacre, that made St. Bartholomew's altogether shrink in comparison. Play-writing, singly, ac counted for the employment of that immense multitude who drain away obscure years beside the inkstand, and haunt the streets with iron-moulded visages, and sturdy coloured clothes. It singly accounted for the rise of paper, which has exhausted the rags of England and Scotland, and had almost stripped off the ilast covering of Ireland. He had counted plays until calculation sank under the effort, and every rejected play of them all seemed, like the clothes of a Spanish beggar, to turn into a living, restless, merciless, indefatigable progeny. , ORIGINAL ANECDOTE.--A jolly set of Irishmen, boon companions and sworn brothers, had made up their minds to leave the " old sod," and went their way to America. They were five in number —two Paddies, one Murphy, one Dennis, and one Teague. It so happened that the vessel they were to go in could only take four of them. At length honest Teague exclaimed, " Arrah ! I have it. We'll cast lots to see who shall remain," But one of the Paddies swore it was not genteel to do that thing. "You know, Teague,". said he, " that I am an arithmetician, and I can work it out by the rule of subtraction, which is a great deal better. But you must all agree to s t an d b y th e figures." All having pledged themselves to do so, Pat proceeded— " Well, then, take Paddy from Padd you cant, but take Den nis from Murphy and Teague remains. By my sowl, Teague, my jewel, and it's you that can't go." —Derry Journal. LEGAL ORATORY. — The ceiling of the court-room of one of the circuit courts of the United States lately fell in with a tremendous crash, which, fortunately for the bench and bar, happened when there was no one present. The court met according to adjournment, and were about to adjourn over to some future day, as no business could possibly be accom plished amid the surrounding ruin; when one of the bar ad dressed the court after the following manner :—" May it please this honourable court, I hope the court will not ad journ till the case of Simpkins v. Jenkins has been disposed of. Our witnesses are all ready, and it would be very incon venient for many of them to attend on another day. This little accident, your honours, is nothing.—Fiat Justitia, ruat ccelum A PARALLEL TO " THE GRAPES ARE SOUR."—A field slave in one of the Southern States of the American Union, to whom meat was a rare blessing, one day found in his trap a plump rabbit. He took him out alive, held him under his arm, patted him, and began to speculate on his q u alities. " Oh, how bery fat ! De fattest I ebber did see ! Let us see how me cook him. Me roast him? No ; he be so fat, be lose all de grease. Me fry him ? Ah, he be so berry fat, he fry himself. Golly, how fat he be ! Den me stew him." The thought of the savory stew made the nigger forget him self, and, in spreading out the feast to his imagination, his arm relaxed, when off hopped the rabbit, and squatting at goodly distance, eyed his last owner with great composure. The negro knew there was an end to the matter, so sum moning all his philosophy, he thus addressed the rabbit— " You long-eared, white-whiskered, red-eyed rat, you not so berry fat arter all !" DEFENCE OF LAWYERS.—IIe makes law expensive, not from a paltry desire to enrich his own coffers, but from a magnanimous and patriotic wish to prevent the poor man from indulging in hatred and uncharitableness, and to deter the rich by a forcible appeal to their pockets, from a habit of oppression towards their inferiors, and of opposition towards their equals ; therefore let the costs of your legal adviser be ever so exorbitant, discharge his claim at once, and consider that you have only taken an expensive lesson in morality. If the lawyer does promote litigation, it is from the consideration that a country without a chancellor would be little better than a ship without a helm ; and living in a country with a chancellor, he looks upon it as the bounden duty of every one to prevent so honourable a functionary receiving his money for doing nothing. RISING GENIUSES IN AMERICA.—SCENE IN A SCHOOL Room.—Master--" Fuss class 'n jegrafee !" Scholars— " Yeth'er." Master—" Tummas, what's the biggest river in Ameriky ?" " The Tombigbee, zar ; Ike keeps a pinchin' on me." "He pincht me first, zar, and I pincht him back again." " Take yer seats ; fuss class in parsin' !" Yeth 'er," " Moses, parse Arkansas' —sixth line from top." " A-r-k ark, a-n-s arkans. a-s ass, Arkansas." " Pronounce it Arkansaw ; but, Moses, you aint spellin'— yer parsin' child." "0, yeth 'er, Harkandshaw is a noun, objectiv case, indicativ mood, comparativ degree, third and in nominativ case to scizzars." " You havn't said what gen der, Moses."—" Feminine gender." " Why ?''—" Corzitz —" " Next ?" " Donno." " Next ?" " Corzitz a fe male." •` Next?" " Forgotten , zar." " Come, David, you know ?" " Yeth 'er." " Well, why is Arkansas of the feminine gender. David ?" "Corzitz why corzitz got Miss Soury on the north, Louisa Anna on the souf, Mrs. Sippy on the east, and ever so many more she-females on the west." " Very well, David, you may go to the head ; you're a rising genius, and 'll make a man before yer mother." " Yeth'er." LOYOLA.—Having thus constituted himself a member of some new and spiritual chivalry, assumed the insignia of the order. They were simple enough, consisting of ragged s clothes, unwashed face, unsha ven beard, ne g lecte d hair, and shoeless feet ; he was equal l y opposed to sin and He soap— to to vice and vestments—to dem ons and decenc y , made an experiment on the art of living without food, but succeeded as badly as Bernard Cavanagh ; a t the end of a week of fasting, he was found in a cave, where he had sought shelter, by some charitable monks, who compelled him to take food. Whil e practising these auste rities, he began to write his " Spiritual Exercises," one of n i o s t f the most singnlar works that ever issued from the crazed brain of an enthusiast. In this work our Lord J e sus a is represented as a belligerent ' monarch, levying his subjects to wage war against his enemy, the Devil. Satan is described as a no less warlike potentate ; both organ ise their regiments, display their standards, harangue their troops, lead them to the field, and promise rich plunder as the reward of victory. It is a curious example of an author's partiality for his early productions, that Ignatius, to the very end of his life, recommended the study of this precious piece of absurdity ; and, what is still more surprising, the Jesuits adopted the error of their founder, and prevented a work so disgraceful to his memory from falling into oblivion.—Age of Elizabeth.

POTATOES IN INDIA.—A correspondent informs us that when he went to India, threescore years ago, a basket of potatoes, weighing about a dozen pounds, was occasionally sent, as opportunity offered, by Warren Hastings, the Go- venor of Bengal, to the Go vern or of Bombay, and was consi dered a very acceptable present. On reception the members of the council would be invited to dine with the governor to partake of the rare vegetable. Some how or other the potato was introduced into Guzerat, and, in process of time, Bom bay became well supplied with it : so well that the market had ever an abundance at a low price and very good. This may imply a lapse of twenty years. When the Bengal and Madras armies rendezvoused at Bombay, on their way to Egypt, every transport was supplied with as many potatoes as the captains would take—slung under the tops, under the chains, over the stern, &c. The general in command of the army of Egypt, who superintended all its equipments, although he did not go with it (Sir Arthur Wellesley), was much struck with the resources of Bombay, in equipping and refitting an army, transports, &c., and, among other things, with the unbounded supply of potatoes and fine onions ; and —having always both eyes open—it struck him that the po tato might be advantageously grown in Mysore. He con descended to confer with the writer of this mem., who hap pened to know something of the soil, climate, &c., of Mysore and the result was, sending, at Sir Arthur's expense, 500 baskets of potatoes, each weighing 111bs, to the residents at Mysore, with instructions as to the distribution of them for seed, the cultivation, &c. Now, it is understood that potatoes are as good, as plentiful, and as cheap in Mysore as in Bom bay or any other place.—Gardener's Chronicle. A WARNING TO GREAT READERS.—Ideas are not trifles to he tossed about like children's toys. They enter our spirits either as conquerors or as conquered ; as conquerors when, with a sickly effeminancy, we surrender our faculties tamely to their indiscriminate seizure ; as conquered, when, with Titanic might, in fair and honourable combat, we have converted them into obedient ministers. The ideas that pos sess us weaken and distract us as much as the ideas that we possess give unity, force, fulness, and compression to our being. If we have unhappily been smitten by this contagion, of facile submission to the headlong hordes of ideas, half ideas, and no-ideas, that are continually traversing society, the remedy is altogether in our own hands. We must first of all get rid of the gluttonous habit of swallowing more in tellectual food than we have ability to digest. Intellectual dyspepsia is as common and as troublesome a malady as its corporeal namesake ; and it must be overcome chiefly through the means, temperance and exercise. No book is indifferent any more than it is a matter of indiffer ence to us whether we drink water or laudanum. Every book that we peruse must tend either to destroy or to establish our intellectual health. We should never re gard reading in the light of a mere amusement ; we should regard it as an important element in our internal pro gress. We should always read with an object; we should always connect one book with another, so as to bear on that object; and we should always link every such object with the primary object 'of our entire career, the augmentation of our mental stature, of our moral worth, and of the harmony, directness, vigour, and emancipation of our capaci ties, We should not take up a book because we wish to cast a few idle hours with a prodigal levity into the gulph of time ; but because we wish to make one step nearer a gradual development of mind and character. Reading in the manner and with the purpose I am recommending, we shall be astonished to find bow much more we know well, than in the days of our epicurean indulgence iu printed fri volities, and how much we have risen above those whom that indulgence still seduces. Exercising self-denial in books, we should likewise learn to exercise self-denial in conversation, if we are sincere in our desire to stand apart from the mob of superficialists, on whose greedy but arid brain a mingled rush of thoughts, notions, facts, and fancies fall like rain upon the sand, spoiling a shallow platitude, without con ferring fertility. There are few things more fatal to clear ness of perception and power, and continuity of reflection, than a hankering for that small glory which is obtained from smartness, wit, or readiness in conversation. Easy talking begets easy thinking, and easy thinking is confused thinking ; in other words, is thinking without thinking. 1 have known more than one friend descend into a mere gossiping machine, who, both from talents and acquirements, was fitted to tell with weight and splendour on the most stirring movements of the world. He who has stooped, for however short a period, to be the pampered orator of some trifling coterie, has the curse of debility upon him, and can never become one of the apostles of humanity.—. Rev. William Maccall. 01)1yptiig incelltgaire. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20.—Wind South, moderate. ARRlVED.—Ulverstone.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 20: With numerous small parcels of new Wheat from Ireland, a moderate quantity of this Grain from the Mediterranean, including nearly 15,000 barrels of Canadian and States Flour, and some increase in the receipts of Irish Oatmeal, we have to report a fair supply of each ; but of all other articles since this day week, the arrivals have been light. Influenced by the near completion of harvest, even in the northern districts of the kingdom, and the decline in London yesterday, the Wheat trade here this morning was consider ably depressed • all qualties of English and foreign having receded 3d to 41, and Irish new fully 6d per 701bs below the rates of Tuesday last; which induced the millers to purchase moderately, but by no means extensively. Home-made and Irish Flour, upon a limited supply, main tained late prices; but States and Canadian must be noted ls. per barrel cheaper, and riot readily saleable at this abate ment. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas, with scarcely any apparent business, exhibited a tendency to decline in value. . Oats, participating in the languor so generally applicable to other articles of the trade, moved off very sparingly at a reduction of Id. to 2d. per 451bs. from the currency of this day se'nnight ; and Oatmeal, being much neglected, gave way ls. per 2-101bs.
