The interior of the higher'portion of the ruin is thickly woven over with ivy, by the stems of which one of my companions —the stair being demolished by the ruthless hand of time— wished to ascend to the highest peak, a further height of perhaps twenty feet. He was so bent on his daring adven ture, that I was constrained to pull him back by the legs, remarking that I had no mind that my remembrance of our ramble should be sallied by my being called upon to appear at a coroner's inquest. He afterwards expressed a strong desire to gain and explore a small dark closet-looking apart- ment, formed in the upper walls of the north-west corner of the pile, by scrambling along the inside of the building, hold ing on by the pieces of stone on which had rested the beams of the decayed floors, but this more dangerous freak of the fearless youth I also overruled. He pointed out a perpendi cular square opening, or well, through the masonry of one of the walls into the river beneath, into which (as a convenient mode of execution) the peasantry still believe the lords of the earth were wont, without the intervention of a judge or jury to throw their prisdners or refractory retainers. A purpose for such an opening, by no means so sanguinary, is, however, more reconcilable with probability. The return by the dila pidated stairs required a steadier foot than the ascent ; but we reached the sward that surrounds the venerable ruin in safety, and having found our other companion on the river side, plying his rod in patient but vain expectancy of the finny inhabitants taking a fancy to his flies, we sat down on a knoll, and partook of a lunch of the plainest fare, with that enviable gout which is the result of purity of air and buoy ancy of spirits. We returned to town, partly by a varied route, and though somewhat fatigued by the heat, highly gratified by our ramble to Castle Troy. . _ t, save The whole of the county of Limerick is, it may be said, bristled with interesting remains of feudal and ecclesiastical grandeur and antiquity ; and the tourist should not omit to visit Castle Connell, on the south bank of the Upper Shan non, about six miles from the city. It is one of the most charming villages in the district, and the most popular resort of the citizens on days of recreation. Here are found in a pre-eminent degree all the materiel of the beautiful and pic turesque—in wood and water—in magnificent ruins of ancient times, and elegant mansions of modern date. The rapids of Doonass below are thb most remarkable on the whole line of the Shannon, from its source in the " far north" of the island to its confluence with the great western ocean. Carrig-o- Gunniel, about four miles below the city, on the same side of the stream—an elevated stronghold of the once celebrated, but now extinct, Earls of Desmond, the last of whom gave name to the " Geraldines"—is also a place of great interest ; and not far distant are Croom, Kilmallock, Pallas Kenry, and Adare, all deeply interwoven in the historical records and traditionary lore of by-gone times. The opposite (Clare) shore is scarcely less interesting in this respect; but I must reserve such particulars as can be inserted within the pre scribed limits of these sketches for my " Trip down the Shannon from Limerick to Kilrush." EXTENSION OF STEAM NAVIGATION IN SOUTH AMERICA (From the London Journal of Commerce.) The perusal of that part of the report of the committee of the House of Representatives of the United States on the state of their navy which points out the necessity of that country bringing its steam fleet for protection or war nearer in power to that of Great Britain, and the great efforts made in this way by Russia and France, give at present great addi tional importance, beyond the mere increase of commercial facilities, to every new line of powerful steamers carrying the mails from this country to distant, and particularly to such transatlantic countries whose principal commerce is as yet in our hands, and which may be by this means more de veloped and better secured to us. For this reason the now some years' pending proposal for the establishment of a steam line to supersede the present sailing packet to South America Proper, by which we parti cularly comprehend the southern hemisphere of America, deserves the fullest attention as a really national enterprise ; and with this view we shall refer to some documents which reached us last week from Brazil, proving the desire of the Government of that country to connect its commercial and political relations with this country closer than with any other. It appears, then, that with the assistance of a gentleman favourably known in connexion with the material improve ments of Brazil, Mr. William Morgan, of the firm of Messrs. Ackraman, Morgan, and Co., of Bristol, has succeeded in obtaining from the Government of that country a contract of such a kind as alone could permit the establishment of such a mixed naval and mercantile steam line as alone can be ef fective for all purposes which it ought to fulfil ; for the steam ers, though contracted for with a company, like Cunard's, will, as those fine vessels, have to carry the Queen's pennant, inasmuch as they will convey the royal mail on board, which is always.under the protection of an officer of the navy, and carronades of a sufficient calibre to protect them in case of a sudden outbreak of war ; being liable, by the contract, in the latter case, to' serve as war-steamers, and to receive, at home and abroad, at a moment's notice, commanders and the full equipment of men and guns from her Majesty's navy ; while, in the performance .if their contract in times of peace, and in order to give commerce the benefit they are so eminently oaioulatad to give, and to diutinish the great expense of their maintenance, they must be able also to carry goods and mer chandise to a certain amount, which, if not in some manner exempt in foreign ports from the dilatory forms to which car , ' oes by purely pr /ate shipping are incessantly subject, would become an impediment to that quick despatch in the various ports touched at, without which a steam communica tion, comprising, as the one proposed, nine different ports of sixteen nations, would be perfectly useless. The facilities and coramercial immunities granted by the Brazilian government ►o this projected line are the paramount advantages of the cor.rract—for without them neither speedy dispatch in the ports, nor speedy travelling, would have been obtainable ; and had private efforts not succeeded in obtain ing these favours from a government so well disposed to fa vour the movements of commerce, and of a friendly national intercourse with us, diplomacy would probably have been employed in vain to obtain such essential advantages, mutual to be sure, but which, in its hands, rarely escape becoming objects of national jealousy and suspicion. The proposed plan is that steam vessels of a large size should depart at stated periods from a British post, to land and receive mails BOTH OUTWARDS and HOMEWARDS, at Madeira, Canaries, Cape de Verds, Pernambuco, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catharine, Monte Video, and Buenos Ayres. The mails for Maranham, Psra, and other ports on the coast, to he conveyed by 'the Brazilian steamer now on the spot. The Peninsular mails to be conveyed from Gibraltar and Lisbon, to Madeira, and vice versa—mails to the several settlements on the coast of Africa and for her Majesty's cruisers, to be conveyed to St. Vincent's, in Cape de Verds, and return mails taken from thence. That six large steamers be built solely for this purpose, which would give a monthly mail, as under, reserving one boat in ordinary for emergencies. Conveyed onwards from a port in England to Madeira, Canaries, Cape de Verd Islands, (whence a branch might be dispatched to the coast of Africa,) Pernambuco, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catharina, Monte Video, Buenos Ayres. Returning to England via Monte Video, St. Catharine, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Pernambuco, Cape de Verds, Canaries, Madeira. By the projected arrangements, each vessel will have a period of four weeks at Buenos Ayres to refit, and six weeks in England for similar purposes. The Brazilian government, in consideration of services to be performed by the projected company, such as conveying between the ports of the empire a small amount of tonnage, and a limited number of persons to Europe for instruction in .arts, science, or trade, on payment of a moiety of the ordinary passage money, will pay to the company, during fifteen years, 6,000 milreis for each monthly voyage, and have granted it the privileges of conveying goods and passengers from one to the other of the imperial ports, prompt dispatch for the receiving and /anding, without any impediment what ever, of their passengers and goods, the free importation of all articles necessary for the use and navigation of the steam ers, and exemption, throughout the empire, from the pay ment of all port charges and dues whatsoever. All the countries of the world, except the western coast of Africa, the Cape, and the coast of America, from the Amazons to La Plata, are now connected with us by steam communication, and both these extensive and important shores may be served by the line proposed—for nothing is more feasible than to make it correspond with one from the Cape and from the Niger or Sierra Leone, as the plan is that the main trunk shall touch at St. Vincent or some other island of the Cape de Verds. If this is effected we may in deed. call ourselves steam bewinged abroad as we are iron bound at home. The advantage to our government of such a line is indeed incalculable—punctuality in all its foreign communications standing foremost, next the shortness and limitation of time in every negotiation abroad, the prevention of misunder standings, the means of amending or altering measures or instructions with rapidity, and of keeping tip an almost telegraphic communication between every one of our men of war in all the South Atlantic Seas. We are not await that our government has as yet evinced any readiness to attend to the frequent and pressing repre sentations and petitions repeatedly made by the merchants of London, Liverpool, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, and of many other towns interested in the commerce with Brazil, Monte Video, and Buenos Ayres; but we may trust that so important an opportunity as the one now offering by the above most propitious arrangement will no longer remain nnheeded ; the more so as it is evident that the preparations necessary for the working of such a line will take full two years, at least, while France will have its government mail steamer to Brazil, ready by July, 1842. The effect of such a line upon the disorganised states of Monte Video and Buenos Ayres, which now waste their sub stance in a warfare as sanguinary and destructive of property as it is obliterative of every trace of good feeling between man and man, of civilisation, and of commerce, will in our opinion cease on the establishment of this steam communication, which will act upon them as a harbinger of peace. It may safely be maintained that the whole of the expense of these wars fall chiefly upon the commercial and manufacturing in terests of the country--on the commercial, because the coun tries owe to our merchants the amount of several years of their consumption, and either the native merchants, ruined by these civil a n d i n ter n ational wars, cannot pay, or those who o remai n s t an di ng , pay on l y i n d e te r ior a t e d p a per cur rency, such as t h e B uenos A yres d o ll ar , wor th now a bo u t two pence ; the manufacturing and shipping interest of this country loses by the great diminution which their poverty and unsettled state produce, and it might safely be asserted that, after assum ing merce of X.1,00h,n o a fixed and irrevocable loss to our com about £109,000 per up to this tim e , an additional loss of if annum t at least is added to this country by I,lle continuanc e the fratricidal quarrels of Buenos kyres and Monte Video, toughr a diminution of trade with thew Are we lookin g for-consumers o f our laulmfactured goods ? Is not it Important foe us to sec at peace, and thriving, two nations who command the entrance of one of the greatest es tuaries of rivers in the world, the fertile banks of which are destined to receive millions, nay, scores of millions of the inhabitants of Europe? Do we not desire to open direct commercial relations with that fertile and well-pcopled - ' All these desiderata can, in our opinion, be obtained only by the establishment of a quick and well-regulated steam line, as proposed, and whichever government shall have caused this enterprise to have been effected, will deserve thanks on the hands of the mercantile world, and from the promoters of civilisation. While our attention is thus directed to steam enterprise to Amazon, which Brazil seems now also desirous to pro as a fresh triumph for our epoch of civilisation and commerce It appears that the Chamber of Deputies had already granted to Mr. J. Sturz, in 1840, all such privileges and im munities as were requisite to induce an association to open this navigation, with the chief view of establishing a transit trade to Bolivia, Moxos, Peru, and part of 'Columbia and Venezuela. By the latest arrival from Brazil, we perceive that the Senate had, for three successive days, been discussing this privilege, which was rather factiously opposed by.some members of the southern provinces of S. Paul's and Minas Geraes, who, not directly interested in the development of the north, had allowed themselves to oppose, for party pur poses, the desire of government to realise this great plan. It is, however, constantly stated in those papers that the minis terial majority will carry the law, and we may thus congratu late about half a dozen different countries, now lying in abject apathy and the grossest ignorance in their remote interiors, for their being about to be called into the circle of trading nations, by having a motive given them for exertion, through the means of exchange for their stagnant produce for desirable objects of European industry, offered them by this steam navigation, and which objects at present are as inaccessible to them as their abundant produce is worthless. MISCELLANEOUS A tesselated Roman pavementhas recently been discovered in Leicester. -It is supposed to have been sixteen hundrtcl years in existence. The parish priest of Dunmanway, county of Cork, black ened the outside of his chapel on learning the defeat of Mr. O'Connell in Dublin. On Saturday a gentleman named Cooper was killed at Swindon, by being thrown out of his gig, the horse having taken fright at the passing of a train of carriages on the Great Western railway. Some ground turned up in Bushby Park last winter, which bad probably not been disturbed since the time of Charles I, was covered in the following summer with mignionette, pan sies, and wild rasberries, none of which grow in the neigh bourhood. The Hon. Charles Villiers, a near relation of the Earl of Clarendon, was fined 5s by the Wandsworth magistrates. on Monday for drunkenness and disorderly conduct in the public streets. The number of sheep required for the iron-works between Abergavenny and Cardiff is less by 2,000 per week than it was twelve months ago. There is also a vast decrease in the sale of veal and beef. l'his is in consequence of the workmen still refusing to give more than 44d. per lb.— Welchman. THE BOY JONES.—The boy Jones, of palace-visiting notoriety, would not be taken on board the Diamond, at Cork, for Port Philip.

Preparations are being made in the ordnance department by " taking the remains" for a new master-general and sur veyor. It is confidently stated in the Tower that their new masters will come into power on the Ist of September. Negotiations are now in progress with a view to the estab lishment of military barracks on the site of the late race ground, in Fulwood, near Preston. An arrangement has been made that the Yorkshire Dis trict Bank shall discontinue the issue of its own notes at the Leeds establishment, and in future issue the notes of the Bank of England. The Paris and Ronen railway, which is as much English as French, is proceeding rapidly under the superintendence of Mr. Locke; and we understand that thirty-five miles of the Paris end of the line will be opened early in the spring of next year. The trains of the Great Western railway travel no less than 25,960 miles per week, that is, a greater distance than the whole circumference of our earth. ENTH USIASM.—A Manchester gent in search of the won derful, returning from Patterdale to Ambleside, over Kirk stone, came to the resolution to return home, a# he was un able, after a day and a half's fruitless endeavours, to find any thing worth seeing. —Kendal Mercury. GOVERNMENT SURVEY.—A detachment of sappers and miners from the royal army are at present encamped on Loughrigg Fell, near Ambleside, where they are erecting a landmark of a peculiar form. The London and Brighton Railway will be opened the whole distance from London-bridge to Brighton about the 14th or 15th of September. At Bainbridge, a township in the north riding of York shire, there has long existed a custom of blowing a horn every night at ten o'clock, from September 27, to Shrovetide, as a signal to the benighted traveller. A lighthouse of cast iron, constructed in London, is about to be erected to the windward of Morant Point, in the island of Jamaica, so as to enable vessels to avoid the Morant Cays, a dangerous reef of rocks, twenty-fives southward of that point. The committee of baronets have decided on assuming, or rather re-assuming, the title of " the honorable," as a pre fix to a baronet's present title. Bancroft, the American historian, computes 'that 180,000 Indians are all that remain east of the Mississippi of the nu merous tribes whoformerly possessed that immense range of country. Ardent spirits, the small pox, famine, and the rifle have destroyed the rest. THE QUEEN.—It is stated by a correspondent, on good authority, which he specifies to us, that " When the Queen Dowager was suffering from illness some months ago, so as to be confined to her couch, it was her majesty's invariable custom to rise and meet her assembled household in the morning, for the purpose of family worship, though com pelled, immediately after the service, to retire again to her couch."—The same correspondent also states, on the same authority, " That it is thcuuiform prartire of the Queen and Prince Albert to read a chapter of the sacred volume together every morning."—Record. DARING AND DEXTEROUS FEAT.—The following hazard ous performance was, at the commencement of last week, accomplished by a slater, and which, for ingenuity, dexterity, and courage, we believe was seldom, if ever surpassed :—The proprietor of a cotton mill situated in the neighbourhood of Glasgow had occasion to have some alteration made on the top of a towering stalk adjoining the mill, an iron plate in that direction, which interfered with the free egress of the volume of smoke, having gone out of position ; and to have thrown up a scaffolding, to repair the damage, would have cost a considerable sum. A slater, however, undertook, for a few pounds, to ascend to the top of the stalk, by means of a considerable number of sharp-pointed pieces of iron, which he drove into the stalk, commencing at the foot, and pro ceeding onwards (occasionally descending for instruments) till he reached the top. He finished his Herculean task in two days, to the satisfaction of the proprietor, but to the no small terror of the spectators, to whom, it is said, he appeared as a speck in the distance, and who were naturally afraid that be might instantly fall headlong from the pinnacle, and be dashed to pieces.—Glasgow Mail. FIELD MUSHROOMS.—Persons at this season of the year cannot be too cautious in the choice of mushrooms. On Monday afternoon a family named Harper, residing in Ber wick-street, Soho, nearly lost their lives by eating too freely of some stewed mushrooms, which in the course of the morn ing had been purchased of a country-looking lad, who was hawking them in a basket about the streets for sale. Besides several poisonous " fungi," there is a variety of the tubei, which, although an innocuous catsup may be made from them, yet are dangerous to be eaten, being highly in digestible, and apt to swell in the stomach, producing very painful and dangerous consequences. The best way to test the quality of mushrooms is to introduce a silver spoon, or a new shilling or sixpence, or an onion, into a vessel in which mushrooms are seething; if, on taking either of them out, they assume a dark discoloured appearance, the circumstance denotes the presence of poison existing among them ; if, on the metal or onion on being withdrawn from the liquor still wears its natural appearance, the fruit may be regarded as being natural, and of the right sort.—Times. EXECUTION OF THE K7. , TARESBOROUGH MURDERERS. — On Saturday at noon, the last sentence of the law was car ried into execution upon John Burlinson, Henry Nuttall, and Charles Gill, who were convicted at the Yorkshire assizes of the murder of Joseph Cocker, of Knaresborough. Ever since their condemnation the three men have conducted themselves in a most penitent manner. In going across the yard from the condemned cell to the room where thef were pinioned Burlinson and Nuttall walked with a firm step ; Gill; who was weak from the effects of disease, was supported by two of the attendants. At twelve o'clook, the under she riff demanded in the usual manner the bodies of the con demned, immediately after which the procession was formed, and the men walked to the scaffold. After the usual preli minaries, the bolt was drawn and the men were launched into eternity. The sufferings undergone by Burlinson and Gill seemed to be great; their bodies were very much con vulsed ; the other seemed to die soon after the executioner had done his work. After hanging the usual time the bodies were cut down and removed to the prison, previous to their being buried within its precincts. All the three were quite young men, Burlinson being 24 years of age, Nuttall 22, and Gill 19. Burlinson and Gill were the parties who inflicted the wounds upon the old man ; Nuttall was present at the time, and assisted in the rifling of Cocker's pocket. They all belonged to Knaresborough, where their families reside. TILE MURDER AT WYMQNDHAM.—JOHN SELF'S CON FESSION.—About nine o'clock in the morning of the day of the day of the murder, Jemima Simpson passed him on her way from a neighbouring cottage to her work. A few words passed between them of only common import. At his dinner hour he walked to her, and found her seated on a bank. He sat down by her side. She had a knife in her hand : he asked her to let him look at it. He took it, and put it into his pocket, and said he should keep it. He began to play with her ; and, after a time, took hold of her clothes in a manner that she much resented, threatening to tell her mo ther of him, and to expose him. He desisted, and denies at any time having violated her person. He returned to his work ; and, brooding over the threat, first thought of mur dering her, if she would not retract it. At four o'clock he left off work, and met her near the fatal spot. After they had got over the gap, he inquired whether she still intended to tell her mother. She replied, yes ; and that she would " mob'' him for it wherever she met him. He said, then she would tell nothing but lies, and he took h e r by the throat. She said she would tell her mother that he graned her. Upon this, he threw her down, and struck her with his spade, and repeated the blows till he supposed he had killed her. She shrieked af t e r the first blow, be beli eves , b u t once . He then took her b y the he els , and dragged her on h er b ac k pond, and threw her into a part of it that was not turned to the place of th e murder, and finding there e He herhat and apron, in which she had tied up some sticks, he took and hid them in au adjoining field, and then returned for his spade. When he came back, he saw, to his lie fixed her oo took eyes on by me heels,, b t neitheran sled dragged cri e d great surprise, the poor girl sitting on the, margin of the pond about two yards from it.

The of the pond, whole of this latter scene of the horrid transaction did not occupy, according to his account, much more than a minute. He denies having struck her in this second attack, except in thrusting the spade upon her neck ; and says, that h e saw the wound, which was described as more..lmmediately cau sing sitting on the side of the pond. On her death, when she was being asked whether be was sure that she did not shriek , during this part of the he hesitated, and said h e did dot remember that she did ; which might be the case in the hurry, confusion, and agitation that . must necessarily have horrid deed. The accompanied the whole of thisbloody cloth which was found was what it was sworn to be, and the wet stocking was his father's. The blood on his trousers be longed to the poor girl, but the stain on his hat was not the stain of blood. - • PILGRIMS OF THE RHINE.—The Hon. Mr. Noel, who was kicked out of Rutland, and Mr. Joseph Hume, who was doomed to the same fate at Leeds, left Bngland for Antwerp and the Rhine, on Sunday week. The directors of the Blue Coat Hospital, Bristol, have given £lO,OOO for a noble mansion for the establishment. Mr. Buller has started for the representation of Exeter, in the expectancy of Sir William Follett being either appointed a chancellor or chief judge. The French protestant church are about erecting a capa cious building at St. Martins. In the space of 139 years—that is, from 1700 to 1839 ; the population of France, notwithstanding the revolutionary wars, has increased 13,830,680—nearly an annual average of 100,000. It is stated that a most influential member of the House of Commons intends to move, as soon as possible, for a select committee to inquire into the state of Ireland. A man named Gilleen was detected in the Nenagh chapel on Sunday in the act of robbing a person kneeling near him. Machinery worked by a dog is getting much used for churning in Carnarvonshire and Anglesea. The late Session of Parliament was the shortest in dura tion of any that has occurred for several years. A sample of new barley, of superior quality, was offered in Wolverhampton market on Wednesday last, at 6d. per bushel. The late Prussian itinister, Baron Bulow, after a resi dence of nearly 20 years, finally retired from his diplomatic duties at the British court. PROPER STATE FOR POPPING TILE QUESTION.-4 wit ness in a case of breach of promise of marriage said of the defendant—he was not sober nor tipsy—just in the frame of mind a man would like to be in to make proposals to a young lady. The reason why no news has been obtained from China of a later date than was received two months since, is that the S.W. monsoon in the China sea is against sailing vessels making any but a long passage. MR. SONIBRIM'S CONSTITUENTS.—During the late Sud bury election, the voters who were " in the market" an nounced the fact by hand-bills in their windows, bearing these words—" not polled yet." MAIL GUARDS.—We are requested to contradict a para graph which has recently gone the round of the papers, that the mail guards, having received an increase of salary, were no longer .allowed to receive gratuities from passengers. Such not being the case, the guards have unfairly been de prived of the fees they were in the habit of being favoured with from passengers desirous of rewarding their attention. —York Herald. MONTHLY STATEMENT OF THE LETTERS DELIVERED IN THE UNITED KINGDOM :- Week ending June 20, 1841 Week ending June 21, 1840 Week ending November 24, 1839 Increase since 1840 on the week's letters Increase since 1839 on the week's letters 3,773,136 3,221,206 1,585,973 551,930 2,187,163 DEATH OF MR. SAMUEL WRIGHT, OF NEW ORLEANS. — He fell in a duel with Mr. S. W. Oakey, of the firm of Oakey, Payne, and Hawkins, on the 2d ult. They fought with rifles, at the distance of forty yards, and, at the second fire, Mr. Wright fell, and expired in a few minutes. Mr. Wright was a native of the county of Down, Ireland, and had been a merchant in this country for upwards of twenty-five years, a large portion of which time he lived, we believe, in Sayan nah.— Vicksburgh Sentinel. DEATH OF DR. M‘NEVIN.—The following is taken from the New York Journal of Commerce. It is needless to say that Dr. M`Nevin was once a formidable man in Ireland. Arthur O'Connor is now the only survivor of the Executive Directory of the United Irishmen :—" Died, in • this city yesterday, Dr. William James M`Nevin, the Irish patriot, and companion of Emmett, in the 79th year of his age. Mr. Thomas Traynor is now the only survivor of that little band that accompanied Emmett to our shores, after the failure of their attempt to revolutionize Ireland." A foreigner named La Fontaine has been exhibiting expe riments in animal magnetism in the Hanover-square Rooms, which attracted considerable attention, as well as excited surprise. The patients are thrown into a state of insensibi lity, and during the enchanter's influence resisted all attempts to excite a feeling of consciousness either of bodily pain or external operations. The experiments do not appear likely to produce any advantage. LOCK JAW EXTRAORDINARY.—The Planters' Banner (American paper) says a gentleman of that parish, some time since, harpooned a large alligator in the Teche, which had committed depredations on his plantations, and was cruel enough to nail up his jaws and clench them, so that there was no possibility of his opening his mouth. He was then set at liberty, and 18 months afterwards he was shot, with his jaws still close and the nails rusted. He was identified as the same alligator by the mark of the harpoon and the manner in which the jaws were nailed. We are assured that this is a positive fact. EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON.--On Saturday evening last, Portpatrick was visited by a most unusual phenomenon, namely, a water-spout, which did very serious damage, by causing the almost total destruction of upwards of twenty houses. Fortunately no lives were lost. This is to be ascribed very much to the partial descent of the rain, which formed a complete volume of water during the time it lasted. The part of the town which suffered most severely was the lower part, close to the water-side.—Belfast Chronicle. MARCH OF IMPUDENCE.—An impudent trick was prac tised the other morning, about 11 o'clock, in High Holborn, London, by a " shabby genteel" fellow who was loitering near a book-stall opposite Day and Martin's. A gentleman who had been looking for some time at a volume which was lying on the stall, marked 7s. 6d., at length took it up, and, thinking that the individual above alluded to belonged to the shop, said to him, " 1 will give you five shillings for this, if you like." " Why, sir," said the man, with the most per fect nonchalance," business is very bad, so I suppose I must take it." The gentleman dropped two half-crowns into the fellow's hand, and he was out of sight in a moment. The shopkeeper, who had been busily engaged, happened to per ceive the gentleman walking away with the book, and stopped him, when an explanation took place, and the gentleman had the mortification to pay a second crown for his " bargain." THE EUPHRATES EXPEDlTlON.—lntelligence has been received at the India Board of the arrival of the Hon. East India Company's armed iron steam-boats Nimrod and Nit cris, at Beles, on the Euphrates. This gratifying event took place on the 31st of May, and thus was completed an enter prise of much danger and difficulty, which had geferally been looked upon as impracticable, and which, in all proba bility, nothing but British skill, intrepidity, and perseverance would have been able to accomplish. The actual distance of the voyage up the river was 1130 miles; the ascent occupied 273 hours, or about 191 days. The average rate of steaming was three miles and seven furlongs an hour. The Tigris and the Euphrates have now been opened to vessels of consider able burden, and the ascent and descent of these noble streams may be made available for the purposes of commerce as well as of civilization ; for, although the success of this splendid experiment reflects honouron the Britishnamealone, the advantages which may be derived from it will be shared with us by many nations, and, it is to be hoped, by the inha bitants of the once famous regions watered by the great rivers of Mesototamia. The expedition was commanded by Lieut. Campbell, assisted by Lieuts. Jones and Grounds. The behaviour of the crews was most exemplary, and not a single casualty occurred during the whole voyage. THE CROPS AND THE WEATHER.—Notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the weather, reaping has commenced on several farms in the neighbourhood of this city. Alarms have been raised (but principally by the opponents of the present corn-laws) that the wheat crop would result in less than an average. As far as regards this and the adjoining counties, we know such alarms to be groundless; and, in deed, accounts from nearly all parts of the country concur in representing the various kinds of grain as likely to prove very productive, if we should now be favoured with fine wea ther. From personal inspection through extensive breadths of land in the midland and northern districts, however, this report must be alloyed with somewhat of a less cheering nature : whether it be attributable to the late weather, to colder climate, ungenial soil, or (what is, we believe, the real case) to slovenly and improvident culture, the appearance of the crops in the whole district between Derby and York will nowhere bear a comparison with the forward abundance of the more favoured districts of Worcestershire and Hereford shire: wheat, in particular, is thin, wiry, straggling, backward, and apparently diseased. Let our northern agriculturists look well to their seed and their ploughing, and much of the evil will be remedied. Concerning the other crops, com munications from our Malvern and Pershore correspondents will be found so generally accurate and applicable to their appearance in this neighbourhood, that we have nothing fur ther to remark, except expressing our fervent hope that the Giver of all good will now add to his other blessings by vouchsafing to us a favourable season for the gathering in of his bountiful gifts. We should add, that the price of the quartern loaf has now reached Bd. and 9d. in this city.— Gloucester paper. THE SLAVE TRADE.—The following horrifying statement, relative to the capture of a Portuguese slaver, is extracted from the log of her Majesty's schooner Fawn, cruising the South American station, and written in lat. 22 30, long. 40 W. :—" On the 19th of February, 1841, Cacupas, on the coast of Brazil, about 18 miles, observed a large brig stand ing in for the land : altered our course so as to cut her off if possible. On approaching she appeared not to have the least idea of our being a man-of-war,—allowed her to close within range of our long 32-pounder,—fired a gun over her, and another as quick as possible ahead. She then up with helm, attempted to run, but appeared in great confusion. We con tinued to throw the shot over, ahead and astern of her, without intention of striking, as we were positive of slaves being on board. After a short time she was increasing her speed. Lieut. Foote then determined to put a shot into the hull, but with great regret, on account of the unfortunate beings on board. Shots were then thrown under her stern twice, a third was about to be fired, when we observed her round to. In about twenty minutes we came up and boarded her. The slaves were all below, with the hatches on; on turning them up, a scene presented itself enough to sicken the heart even of a Portuguese—the living, the dying, an d the dead, huddled together in one mass. Some unfortunates in the most disgusting state of small-pox, even in the con fluent state, covered from head to foot ; some distressingly ill with ophthalmia, a few perfectly blind ; others, living skeletons, with difficulty crawled from below, unable to bear their own bodies ; mothers with young infants banging to their breasts, unable to give them a drop of nourishment. How they had brought them thus far appeared astonishing— all were perfectly naked—their limbs much excoriated from lying on the hard plank for so long a period. Ou goi ng below the stench was insupportable. How beings could breathe such an atmosphere and live, appeared incredible. Several were under the loose planks which was called the deck, dying —one dead. We proceeded to Rio Janeiro with the prize. On the passage we lost 13, in harbour 12, from small-pox and debility ; a number also died on. board the receiving ship, the Crescent. After cleaning the hold and fumigating the brig, it was determined by Mr. Ouseley, the British minister, to send the brig, with a part of her cargo, for adjudication, to the nearest colony, under the command of Mr. Johnstone, mate of the Fawn. We sailed on the 19th March, with 180, well provided with medicines, and di rected in what manner to use them. Tapioca and limejuice were also provided. Notwithstanding all the care that a small crew could bestow on them, we unfortunately lost 20, chiefly from scurvy and general debility. This unfortunate brig left Bahia fort on the coast of Benguela with 510 ne groes, and 13 days after her capture she had but 37." Wo learn by somata'? femrsayoral districts that game of all kinds is unusually plentiful Gavin Scott having now sustained the requisite examina tion, has been fully committed for trial. His trial will take place at the approaching circuit. The Post-officefit Hereford will in future be closed during the hours of divine service. The Provincial Medical and Surgical Association held its ninth anniversary at York, on Wednesday and Thursday last. A boy was killed dead near Worcester, on Wednesday, by a kick from a horse. Two rival lecturers on teetotalism met in the Friends' Meeting House, Tewkesbury, one day last week, and after much recrimination between thew, it was with difficulty they were prevented from fighting. Several of the deluded people called " Mormonites", have left Gloucester this week for " the new Jerusalem;" in America. At Gloucester Assizes on Tuesday, William Weyman was left for execution, having been found guilty of the wilful murder of William Fisher. The dOg days ended on Wednesday. For some years the weather has not been so cold nor sunshine so rare, as during this period this year. Palestine, Main, from Hobart Town, at Liverpool; sailed 18th April.

Merchants failing, Manchester market drooping, manufacturers looking to " short time" as a partial safeguard, even at present low prices, these circumstances combined, caused our market to be very uneven in prices, having what is technically termed its " soft places." To-day 2500 bales have been sold at prices id to id below those obtained on Friday last, more particularly in the lower de scriptions of American Cotton. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 12, "The glass is going up," says one, "the next change of the moon is favourable, and we shall have tineweather," says another. these added to the fineness of the'day, htive had a rallying effect upon our Cotton market to-day, and have placed a temporary check to the downward tendency of prices, Which a few more such sunny days will keep steady. The sales again amount to •25110 bales, and though the market has been quiet, yet that gloom and tottering so apparent yesterday, has disappeared, and we hope and trust for a state of better things shortly. The stock of Cotton, like that of Corn, in the interior is very low, and a few days good demand would give a tone of animation to our market, to which we have for some time past been quite strangers. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, AuG. 12. Holders of dry Butters have within the last few days become more confident, and considerable speculative business has been transacted. The consumptive demand has however improved but little; the dealers being very slow in. assuming the firmness of im porters.. We may quote the present price of Butter at 84s to 92s per cwt., according to character of brand, and quality. Pickled Butter is steady at about §Os for seconds. Hew y Beef is scarce, and commands high prices ;—the demand, however, is entirely of a retail description, both for this article and Pork. Good Bacon rules at about 56s with a tolerably free sale. SALFORD CATTLE MAKKET, AUG. 11 There was rather more beasts at market this morning than last week, but for all prime ones the demand was equal to the supply. Sheep were in fully as good show, whilst of Lambs, especially ordinary ones, were iu excess. The best Beef cannot be quoted lower, nor yet prime Mutton, but Lamb was fully id per lb. below last week's rates. Best Beef 64 to Id ; Mutton 6id to Cid, very prime 7d ; Lambs 54d to 64 per lb. • MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALLOW MARKET.-AuG. 11.

The imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, coast ways, and from foreign ports, have again been moderate ; of Beans from Egypt, and of Peas and Flour from Canada, to a fair extent. The weather appeared more genial on Tuesday last, but we had a recurrence of very heavy rain on that night, and it has been very unsettled during the past week, alternately fair and rain, though, with a warmer temperature; still, however, we fear the crops have progressed but very little towards ripeness in this and throughout the northern districts. In the southern counties, where they are more forward, they have also had continuance of bad weather, and reports are be coming unfavourable of their crops, both as to'quantity and qua lity, and exciting much alarm ; in consequence of which, and of the activity and advance in the London markets of the past week, we have experienced a renewal of speculation here, particularly in bonded Wheat and Flour, of which a very considerable quantity has changed hands during the past week, at an advance of 8d to 9d per 70 lb. on the former, and 4s to 5s per barrel on the latter; an advance on those articles, free, has also been obtained of 3d to 6d per 70 lb. and of Is to 2s per barrel and per sack ; 2d per 45 lb. on Oats, and Is per 240 ►b. on Oatmeal, and every other article in the corn trade, free and in bond, has participated a little in this excitement here, in Manchester, and in all the markets of this and the northern districts. The duty on Wheat from foreign ports is decreased since Friday Is per quarter, and on Flour 7id per barrel, also is 6d per quar ter on Barley, Indian Corn, Buck Wheat, Oats, Beans, and Peas, and the last average price of Wheat in London being 74s 6d per quarter, there is a more confident feeling that the duties will gra dually decline to the lowest; at which, they will be for Grain from British Colonies on the 20th instant, ; very large parcels of foreign bonded Wheat have changed hands at 88 to gs 3d per 70 lbs. and of Flour at 32s to 335, and in a few instances at 33s 6d to 34s per bar rel. British Colonial free or iu bond now almost at one price. Fine Dutch heavy Brew Oats in bond 35 2d to 3s 4d per 45 lb. Egyptian Beans 24s to 26s per quarter in bond, and many cargoes held at 30s, or withdrawn from present sale. . . At this day's market there was a good attendance, and the transactions were to a fair extent, at fully the advance above noted, and quoted as correctly as circumstances will admit in the price current below. .
