Vottrpo THE VILLAGE CHURCH. How many a year has passed since first the chime Of those clear bells rung on the morning air I How many are the changes time has brought Since the long shadow sank at evening fair, Like a vast dial, from yon worn grey tower, Then in its pride of strength, its first and vernal hour ! And still on Sabbath morn and festival Thy music mingles with the stir of life ; As in the days long past, their joyous call Swells out in eager yet harmonious strife, Far o'er the valley and the woodland heard, Blent with the shrill notes of the soaring bird. The sun gleams through the tracery of the shrine On the dark graven stones, whence listless feet Have swept away the faint and mournful line, Effacing, where the dead and living meet, The last memorial of the loved of old, Left henceforth to their rest, the undisturbed and cold. Change comes to all on earth ! Another race Hath gathered round the altar in past years, And rites antique once filled the holy place, That cherished other hopes and sterner fears ; While the lone mass was offered for the dead, And imaged saints have smiled beneath the fretted shade. But these are fled! The deep mysterious tone Hath left no echo as it passed away Of the old hymns breathed forth in words unknown, When truth in error's slumberous cradle lay ; Changed is the adoring crowd, the muttered prayer, But the Cross triumphs still, the hallowed Faith is there ! Time hath dealt sternly with all prouder things, Yet pauseth ere he touch thy sacred walls, As he sweeps down with his destructive wings Palace and haughty tower and storied halls; But the slow course of years beholds the spire Through troubled ages rise unharmed,though girt with fire. Still to thy shadow the full heart of man Hath brought its burden as those years roll by, The blessing on his brief and restless span, The solemn hope bound with the marriage tie, And the last awful honours of the grave, When dust returns to earth, the soul to Him who gave. These are thy gifts ! All scenes of human life Thy pillowed aisles have witnessed,—that low door, Duly unclosed, hath welcomed in the wife, — The child,—ere long the man,—then the dark floor Is worn by younger steps, and like a dream A generation fades ! on sweeps the circling stream! But 'mid the symbols of their mouldering rest Rises thy treasury of hope and prayer ; How like a witness to the thoughtful breast ! Truth's ever-burning lamp 'mid worldly glare ! And the deep voice of warning in the tone Of thy clear bells, the breath of ages gone ! S. V., 1842. HERALDRY. Where'er a batchment we discern, (A truth before ne'er started,) The motto makes us surely learn The sex of the departed. If 'tis the husband sleeps, he deems Death's day a " felix dies," Of unaccustomed quiet dreams, And cries—ln ccelo Quies. But if the wife, she from the tomb Wounds, Parthian like, "post tergum," Hints to her spouse his future doom, And threatening cries—Resurgam. LITERARY NOTICES. The Abbotsford Edition of the Waverley Novels. No. 11. Edinburgh : R. Cadell. London : Houlston and Stone man. The number before us contains the conclusion of " Guy Mannering," which completes the first volume, and we are furnished with an index of reference to the illustrations, title-page, &c., ready for binding. Two entire novels, it appears, will be comprised in each volume ; and a handsomer series than these will furnish, have never adorned the library. The illustrations continue to be of the best description, and type and paper of the same excellent quality as in former numbers. We have the commencement of " The Anti quary " in the present. GARDEN OPERATIONS FOR THE ENSUING WEEK. KITCHEN GARDEN AND ORCHARD. In-door Department. PlNERY.—Occasional fires will now be necessary to all the houses, but especially where fruit is swelling off or ripening. Its application must of course be governed by the state of the weather, and by the temperature of the bark-bed. If this still retains a strong heat, and the theimometer in the house indicates 65 degrees, or upwards, in the mornings, arti ficial heat will be better dispensed with ; but if the tempe rature of the bed is found to be falling rapidly, which will probably now be the case where a small quantity only of fresh tan was added at potting time, slight nightly fires, and occa sional waterings of the surface, will be required to restore and prolong it. Vessels of water on the heating apparatus must not be forgotten when fires are made. Be moderate in giving air now, and always shut the houses up warm. Plants become drawn more through want of light (that is, through being set at too great a distance from the glass) than from want of air. Water in small quantities will be frequently required by growing plants ; and if there is not a tank in the house, the chill should be taken off by other means. VINERY.—The pruning of vines intended for very early forcing ought not to be longer delayed. In consequence of neglect in this particular, we—have known vines break in autumn before they were pruned. A kind of scale (Coccus vitis) is frequently troublesome in vineries, by dirtying and thereby disfiguring the fruit. We have in vain tried to de stroy it by a thick wash of lime and sulphur : possibly a so lution of glue, laid on with a brush after peeling the old wood, would be more efficacious. PEACH-tiotisE.—lf not yet done, let the sashes be re paired, washed, and painted, in readiness for putting on the house before cold wet weather sets in. The pruning and tieing of the trees, and the top-dressing of the borders in the house, might stand over till a wet day after the lights are put on. Attend to the trees in the late house as before, till the wood is perfectly matured. CHERRY-TREES in pots and tubs ought to be prepared for forcing by taking off the surface soil and replacing it with fresh nutritious compost. These trees do not generally need much pruning, but it will be advisable to look over them and remove any useless shoots. CUCUMBERS AND MELONS.—Let growing plants be kept warm as directed last week. In ridging out cucumber plants for pit culture, take care that the soil is rough and porous. Different eminent growers recommend different composts. One that is generally accessible, and in which cucumber plants will thrive well, is good turfy loam mixed with about a third part of leaf-mould, adding a little sand if the loam be naturally heavy. A trellis for training the shoots upon will be found much preferable to allowing them to trail over the damp earth. Plants in pots in the pine stove should be dewed over the foliage when the hoase is closed. Out-door Department. GREEN HERBS are in some places required in the depth of winter; some plants of everything likely to be in demand, should, therefore, be potted in readiness for removal at any time to a warm house. Parsley roots might be planted in boxes, or in the border of a forcing house, and chervil might be sown in boxes. A few pots of sweet basil should like wise be sown. BROCCOLl. — Continue the removal of the extra plant. Some of the latest sorts might be put on a north border ; in which situation their flowering will be retarded a week or ten days i❑ spring. CABBAGES.—PIant from the August sowing. The small est plants should be pricked out into nursery beds, to be transplanted in spring. CAULIFLOWERS.—If the plants sown in the end of August have come up thickly, the largest of them should be pricked out to strengthen, previously to their removal to winter quarters. CELERY.—Earth up in succession a sufficiency for winter consumption. That meant for spring use, need not be meddled with till next month, when on a dry day it may be finally earthed at once. LETTUCE.-11 the weather should continue open during the autumn months, the Lettuces sown in the middle of August will become too large and succulent to bear the frosts and cutting winds of early spring ; it will therefore be proper to make another sowing, either on a dry and sheltered bor der, or under the protection of a frame. As these must furnish the table till the produce of the first spring sowing comes, sorts of proved merit should be selected. SPINACH.—Thin the growing crops. SUCCORY.—Thin the last sown plants, and encourage their growth by occasionally hoeing among them. Orchard.—Gather Apples and Pears as they ripen, bearing in mind that Pears which keep only a few weeks should not be too ripe when gathered, or they will become mealy. As wall-fruit is now getting more scarce, extra pains will be necessary to preserve Golden Drops, Imperatrice, and other late Plums, from wasps and flies. Continue to shift straw berry plants from their fruiting pots. If an insufficient number has been prepared, some strong runners from the open ground may be planted, three in a pot, for the latest crop. 11 . - -FLOWER-GARDEN AND SHRUBBERY. which have TOvi t . In-door Department. A be ? young Mammillarias, or plants of that kind, now be taken tin dung frames during the summer, must the yveather pruning and training la back to the stove and kept rather dry, unless very bright. Attend particularly to the warmest Orchidaeng of climbing plants. Light fires in the them to go out in the house . during cold days, but allow temperature considerably eyening ; it is always better to have the GREENHOUSE 4 : 1 1, n 1Y lower at night than in the day. iCoNSERVATORY.—Continue the transfer of Greenhouse desired, to the house, where„ if hand some specimens are hen on must be allowed plenty of room to extend their branc b p e ' et o sb n all sides without interference to grow a greater number with each other. Some spoil all their plants by attempting , n s iber than tney have proper bet made, let Heaths occupy Pelargoniums near the accommodation for in . winter, glass, and, where a difference can ysa v n i t a h n e t m ec rns which were the most airy part of the house. PITS AND FRAIVE.S.—The chr b roots,. and put should now struck from cuttings in summer and e s!t . in a shady be taken up and potted. Retain plenty o f out, tnem into rich soil ; they should afterw rn ar o d i place, and have the foliage frequently afterwards root-hold. All shrubs intended for early forcingci till they get prepared for that purpose, either by re-potting Jilt, tbe dressing. In pruning roses for forcing, the young y toopshould not be too much shortened. China roses vilwood propagate readily from cuttings. Thin the annuals s now have been sown in pots. If this sowing has been n i eg-eeted, it may yet be made. Out-door Department. If any choice plants, which it is desired to preserve, have ve been turned out into the flower-garden, they should o taken up and potted ; but do not yet disturb beds of Pelar goniums, or distroy the beastv o f the mixed c lum p s b y taking 100 many plants away from them. To prolong the gaiety of the nower.garden, such things should be left out till the y are in actual danger from frost; or, if plen t y of cuttings have been put in, as advised, many of the plants may remain to perish. Let dahlias be properly numbered, and the list of the colours, height, and other prope;ties, cor rected, while the flowers are in perfection. IMPORTANT TO CIRCULATING LIBRARIES AND BOOK ' CLIJOS. — These establishments are placed in a very serious position by the 17th section of the New Copyright Act (5 and 6 Victoria, c. 45.) It is well known that most of them have for years been in the habit of obtaining and letting out to hire foreign editions of English works, infinitely to the pre , e of English anchors and publishers, who are now, how (),_ rt, st amply protected by the act in question.

It is not correct. Within the last two days a great many liberated convicts, under surveillance, who have left the places fixed upon for their residences and come to Paris, have been arrested by the police. PEARS.—The abundance of wall fruit this season has, we believe, been beyond all precedent. Mr. James Gilbert, Morningside, pulled from two jargonelle pear trees, the ex traordinary number of 1,272 pears of large size and fine flavour ; and, what is most remarkable, the trees are com paratively young.—Scotsman. The lords justices of Ireland have received the queen's letters, empowering the Lord Chancellor or Keeper of the Great Seal to issue letters patent, appointing Joseph Devon sher Jackson, Esq., a justice . of the Common Pleas, in the room of Mr. Justice Forster, deceased; and Thomas Berry Cusac Smith, Esq., Q. C. to be Solicitor-Genneral. in the room of Mr. Jackson, promoted to the judicial bench. IMPORTATION OF GRAIN FROM CONSTANTINOPLE.— The novelty of a vessel arriving in the Thames from the en trance of the Black Sea, laden with grain, took place on Friday, when the brig John Peat arrived in the London docks with a cargo of wheat. During the last week, upwards of 20 vessels arrived in the docks with cargoes of grain, from Marseilles, Odessa, Stettin, Dantzic, &c. CATTLE IMPORTS AT HULL.—We have to report the fol lowing per steam since our last, and have nothing new to say as to quality. From Hamburgh, by the William Darley, on Saturday, 19 oxen and one wye ; on Monday, by the Rob Roy, 22 oxen and two cows ; same day, by the Hamburg, 60 fat oxen and cows ; same day, by the Innisfail, from Gothenburg, ten oxen and two pigs; and by the Emerald Isle, from Rotterdam, five oxen, five cows, one calf, and 43 sheep.—Eastern Counties Herald. NOVEL CONTENTION IN A COURT OF LAW.—A ludic rous incident the other day interrupted the proceedings of the Tribunal of the second council of war. The court was occupied in hearing a charge of robbery against a soldier, when one of the sentinels on duty having with his bayonet accidentally disturbed the curtains which inclosed the bust of the King, out flew a cloud of bats, which, after describing a few circles in the court, entered into a general engagement. The battle lasted for several minutes, and was so severe that no less than six bats were left dead upon the field. The con querors made their escape by the windows, and the bodies of the vanquished having been removed, the gravity of the court was restored, and business proceeded.—French Paper. GOLD MEDAL TO MEHEMET ALL—The gold medal men tioned in the English papers having been struck in England, in honour of Mehemet Ali, arrived at Alexandria by the last packet, with an address by some of the most influential mer cantile men and others of London and other places. On one side of the medal is the portrait of the viceroy ; on the other are the following words in English :—" The friend of science, commerce, and order, who protected the subjects and pro perty of the powers opposed to him, and who promoted the route to India." Goons SOLD UNDER A DISTRAINT. —Thursday last was the day fixed for the sale of such of the goods of - Mr. John Thompson as had been seized under a warrant of distraint, for the sum of £5 and costs, in which he had been adjudged by by the Mayor of Stockport, for refusing to be sworn in a special constable. Regardless of a most stormy day, the sale yielding the sum of £6 14s. from which £6 ss. Sd. of penalty and costs will be deducted, leaving Bs. 4d. a surplus for Mr. Thompson.—Manchester Guardian. After service at the Madeleine on Sunday, a police agent found, a gold watch under the portico in entering. Close to him, at the same time, he perceived a stranger searching his pockets with an air of great uneasiness. " What are you looking for ?" demanded the officer. "My watch, that I have lost," replied the stranger. "It was a remarkably good one, and cost me 500 f. in the Palais Royal." " Here it is," said the other, " take better care of it for the future, for see, some dexterous fellow has been rather too solicitous about you, as this ring bears evident marks of having been cut neatly through."—Galignani's Messenger. CIDER AND PERRY.—These delightful beverages (says a Newent correspondent) will be extremely cheap next month. Good perry then will be sold at Ledbury at 255. for the hogs head of 100 gallons. A large farmer at Dymock, near Led bury, has engaged to deliver 2,000 gallons of excellent cider at Abergavenny, by the first week in November, at 6d. per gallon. Bottling perry, of prime quality, will be had for Is. per imperial gallon, which will fill six bottles. At Hereford, . . apples and pears are so very plentiful, that the fruit dealers from Merthyr and Nantvglo will only give ls. 6d. for the bushel of ten gallons. Filberts are also extremely plentiful at Hereford and Chepstow.—Bristol Gazette. STATE OF TRADE IN PAISLEY.—The views of our manu facturers, for the last eight or ten days, have been less cheer ing than they were for several weeks before. The anticipa tions of an active London trade, during the present month, have not yet been realised ; and though hope still flatters a little, the expectations are becoming rather less sanguine. There have been several buyers in the market during the present week, both from the London and the Dublin mar kets ; but their purchases are made with great caution, and to a very limited extent. The causes chiefly assigned for the want of the ordinary activity, at this season, are, to a certain extent, the failure of an extensive London house in the mer cer line, with the fear of a similar failure in others ; and to a greater extent, the disturbances in the central districts. There is, accordingly, on the part of the trade, rather a re luctance to accumulate stocks ; and the effect of this is, that several houses have discharged a few hands, and show a dis position to contract, rather than to extend, their operations. During the week endin g Tuesday last, there was a decrease of 661 on the relief list ;but the tendency to stagnation al luded to will, we fear, operate in preventing a farther de crease. The embarrassing number of 7,688, including de pendents, still remain to be provided for. Since the above was written, a correspondent states that the words ' 6 weavers are wanted," was yesterday put up on a warehouse door in Causeyside.—Paisley Advertiser of Saturday. SINGULAR ELOPEMENT.—NORWICH, SEPT. 14.—An event has just occurred here, that, despite its being festival week, engrosses the exclusive conversation of all our gossips. A Miss C., well known for her beauty and wealth, has just eloped with a London gentleman, a principal in, and repre sentative of, a respectable firm, carrying on trade in I.ondon and Nottingham. The circumstances are as follow :—Miss C., whose parents have been dead long since, was lett about two years ago, by her maternal grandfather, property to the amount of about £15,000. Her half-brother and a lawyer of this place were appointed her guardians. These gentlemen placed her with a Mr. C. It was not long ere her affections were sought, and (supposed to be) gained by a medical gen tleman of this eily ; but whether from disapprobation on the part of her friends, or loss of affection in the lover, this was broken off, and her love immediately transferred to a Mr. S., a clergyman of the established church, who, by-the-bye, it is as well to say, numbers full twice as many years as his lady love. All things went on prosperously and happily, the wedding-day was fixed for Thursday next, the bridal dresses bought, bridesmaids selected, presents made, and all talking about and envying the happy man; when—alas for human foresight !—the festival attracted to this spot the destroyer of all these well-digested plans ; or, in plain English , Mr. N. being on his journey through this country, very naturally de termined to relieve himself from the cares of business by staying here the festival week, and being invited to the house of Mr. C., quite as naturally became uncontrollably in love with his guest. The consequence was that he (Mr. N.) so far removed all impressions of the rev. gallant from the young lady's heart, that be had persuaded her to elope with him on Sunday night, All things were well arranged, one of the servants was bribed, and between twelve and one the happy pair set oil as fast as four good horses could gallop, Two letters left directed to her guardians, telling them to be under no apprehension as she was only going to get married. These gentlemen immediately started in chase but they left here about the time the runaways would reach town. ST. ANDREW'S.—EXPLOSION AND MARVELLOUS Es- CAPE.—Mr. Gyngell, the celebrated constructor of fireworks, who has entertained the folks here on several occasions, hav ing received an extensive order from P.rth, prepared the ar ticles in a room situate at the head of the Baker Wynd, and fronting Market -street, belonging to Alexander Wilson Wemyss. While packing them on the morning of Saturday last, between five and six o'clock, the tightness, or the rub bing against each other, as issupposed, having caused igni tion, the whole went off with a tremendous noise, shattering the ceiling of the room, the windows, and the roof. How Mr. Gyngell managed to escape, he can hardly tell. On the first symptom of the approaching catastrophe he rushed down stairs, and luckily was only half way when the explosion took place ; had he reached the street, he would have been exposed to the falling of the tiles, &c., which were blown in the air and strewn in all directions. The house took fire, but the fire-engine was soon on the spot, which, by the activity of those who worked it, soon extinguished the flames. As soon as Mr. Gyngell recovered, be made desperate efforts to get at Mr. Wemyss, who slept in the room adjoining that in which the accident happened, but the good fortune of the latter led him to visit the harbour half an hour before. Mr. Gyngell had hung up his coat, with 13s. in the pocket; the coat disappeared, and with the contents, except Is. 6d., which was found amongst the ruins.—Scotch paper. EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE AT BILLINGSGATE. — Yesterday morning, between 9 and 10 o'clock, indescribable alarm was caused amongst the throng of persons assem bled in Billingsgate market by a man being seen standing on the parapet of the house No. 4, occupied by Mr. Rous, a fish-salesman, in an extensive way of business, making ges tures as if he premeditated throwing himself off, and in a second or two afterwards he precipitated himself head fore mast from the immense height be was at, the house being four stories high, and where he stood between 70 and 80 feet from the street. At the instant several females shrieked with terror, and a cry of horror escaped from every one who witnessed the terrific act. The wretched man as he fell turned over once or twice, and came down upon his back on a linen blind of very strong texture in front of the ware house; it was supported by a strong piece of timber upheld by stout iron supporters fixed in iron cramps, but such was the impulse of his descent, that the blind was torn into rib bonds. The timber beam snapped completely asunder, and the ironwork bent in a most curious manner. This check, however, so effectually broke the force of his fall that he came in contact with the foot pavement with not more vio lence than if he had fallen only a couple of feet. On being raised up, to the great astonishment of the persons around him, he had not apparently sustained any injury, and was quite sensible. Mr. Rotas, who at that instant rushed out of his house to ascertain what had occurred, immediately recog nised the person in question to be a friend of his who had been staying since Friday last at his house on a visit. His name it appears is William Dunnett; he is about 25 years of age, and an agriculturist, residing with his parents at Clopton, near Ipswich. No cause is known that could in duce him to attempt self destruction, or whether his intel lects were affeeted. They had breakfasted together but a short time previously, and Mr. Dunnett then proceeded to the roof to smoke a cigar and take a view of the river. The a s' parapet round the roof is abo ut four feet high. The unfor tunate your Thom g man was ultimately removed to St. s Hospital, and as far as the sur g ical examination was pro ceeded with on his admission, no fracture was discovered, nor even an abrasion, however slight, of the skin. It, how ever, soon became apparent that he had sustained some injury of the head, as his speech had failed him, ani he be came delirious, arising most probably from concussion of the brain, or injury of the spine, He remains at present in a Very uncer t a i n s t a te. A FOOLISH AND ROGUISH SON, AND HIS PAL.—On Tuesday_atonu two young fellows arrived at one o f the inns in ,by a Manchester coach, dressed in topcoats , and round gold-laced caps. On being shown, by request , to a bedroom, th ey changed their clothes, took tea, had a private room, and th en o b tained two tickets for the theatre at the bar, sayi ng t h ey promising ea l e a ,and whi d of 17, proceeded to the theatre might be put down in the bill. They then laarrtihveedre in th a e gi f g ath g e o r t of co tlle youngest, aan stable, and finding out their whereabouts, waited outside the theatre till the close of the performance, when they caught the son, while his companion, a rascal of 24 years, got away. The fact is, the youn gster had robbed his father of £B2, and the other was laudably engaged in helping him to spend it— having, it is said, first persuaded him to commit the theft. They had taken places in the Amber _gate coach, en route for Loneto:-.1 the next morning ; and afterla one V% ent to jeweller's shop and bought a gold watch the younger for £l7, t e ndering a .CO note in payme n t. The money and watch were afterwards re.-exchanged between the jeweller and the father. It was unfortunate they were not allowed to return from the theatre to the where they might both have been safely taken, as no dooix the most culpable rascal d• The father left .Buxton the next morning, and escape . afterwards sent for young Hopeful to go in custody o f t h e constable on ThllrSdliY. morning to Manchester.—Sheffield Iris. A Windsor poulterer displayed several grouse in his window the other day, with the following " ingenious device" at tached to them :—" These were from near Dalkeith, and are said to have been shot by Prince Albert." In consequence of a rivalry between the Dutch and Belgian pilots, for employment in the ships coming up or going down the Scheldt, conflicts have arisen between them and their partisans at Flushing. These have made the interference of the troops necessary, and, in restoring order, several Dutch men have been wounded. AFRICAN CHAPELS.-it is a fact which must be gratifying to every individual who rejoices at the downfall of slavery, that out of 26 Wesleyan chapels in Sierra Leone, the roof timbers, the flooring, and other wood-work of twenty is com posed nearly exclusively of slave-ships, which have been ta ken by 11. M. Men-of-War on the coast, and condemned by the Mixed Commission Court.—Sierra Leone Watchman. BIBLE SOCIETY OF HANOVER.—The committee of the Bible Society for the kingdom of Hanover has just published the result of their labours for the year 1841. During this year it appears that 2,806 Bibles and 706 New Testaments had been distributed. Since the formation of this society, in the year 1841, 67,897 Bibles, and 14,439 New Testaments, making together 82,336 copies. have been distributed.—From the Prussian State Gazette, Sept. 5. BANK OF ENGLAND.—(From Friday's Gazette-)—An account showing the quarterly average of the weekly liabili ties and assets of the Bank of England, from the 18th day of June to the 10th day of September, 1842, both inclusive, published pursuant to the act 3 and 4 William IV., cap. 98. Liabilities: circulation, £19,714,000 ; deposits, 9,833,000 — total £29,547,000. Assets : securities, £23,159,000 ' • bullion, 9,177,000—t0tal £32,336,000. —Downing-street, Sept. 15, 1842. LOCUSTS IN GREECE.—By the last accounts from Athens we learn that the current crop in Greece was nearly secured after the threatened injury from rain at several periods during the cutting and drying. In the earlier part of the summer a more serious danger menaced the crops from the sudden appearance of clouds of locusts in most of the provinces of the kingdom. So greatly were the fears of the Greek government excited, that a proclamation was issued, signed by the King, and countersigned by the Minister of the Inte rior, Christides. MATRIMONIAL DISAPPOINTMENT.—A young man and woman, inhabitants of Brighton, accompanied by a marriage prodession of ther friends and relatives, appeared, last week, at the altar of the old church, for the purpose of tying the hymeneal knot. The ceremony had proceeded to the place where the clergyman had to pronounce the declaratory words, that the man and woman had become husband and wife, when the minister had a notification made to him, which in duced him to ask who was the bridegroom's former wife? The reply was, the present bride's sister—whereupon the clergyman announced that such marriage was illegal, and refused to proceed with the ceremonial. All the parties were aware of the relationship, but, probably, were not aware of the recent alteration in the law, making marriage with a deceased wife's sister is illegal.—London Paper. ANOTHER EXTENSIVE ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON.— Informatiou has been received by the Metropolitan Police, that on the Bth instant a gentleman in the city of Coventry was robbed of a red morocco pocket-book, containing six £5 notes of Taylor and Lloyd's Birmingham Bank ; three £5 notes of the Rugby Bank ; a £5 note of the Nuneaton Bank ; two receipts for rent, and a note of hand for £35 ; another ditto, for £7O, and one for £l6O or £l7O. The robbery is stated to have been committed by a woman of tall stature, rather stout, and dressed in a dark dress, a white shawl, and straw bonnet. She is supposed to have come from Birming ham. We are informed that the late Sir Henry Worsley has by his will, left to his executors the task of erecting, in Chale churchyard, an obelisk to his memory, the height of which will be the same as Cleopatra's Needle, in Egypt. It will be a great attraction to that part of the island. He requests it to be similar in form and dimensions of which, we have been told, was nearly £lO,OOO. A marble tablet or monument has been put up inside of Chale church, pleasing in its form, but we do not suppose this can be intended to supersede the de sire of the testator.—Hampshire Advertiser. We are proud to be able to record the following anecdote connected with her 11 , Iajesty's reception. We give it not on rumour, but on most respectable authority,—such as we can in every respect rely upon. On her Majesty's returning from the visit to Edinburgh Castle, a Noble Lord in attendance, whom we could name, inquired how her Majesty was pleased? The gracious reply was, " I am delighted with the country and the people. I did not think there was such a spot in my dominions ; and I shall not fail to pay Scotland a visit again in a different style."—Stirling Journal. PICKLED EGGS.—(From a Hampshire correspondent). —An industrious farmer's wife, residing at Shipton, near Andover, among a variety of other pickles which she annual ly introduces into her store-room, preserves pickled eggs. The process she uses in curing them is very simple. When she has a large stock of eggs on hand she boils some six or seven dozen till they become hard. She then divests them of the shell, and puts them into large jars, pouring upon them scalding vinegar saturated with ginger, garlic, whole pepper and ailspice. This pickle is an admirable aid to cold meat, and is, in the winter months, regarded as a perfect farm-house luxury. BOY PICKED UP AT SEA.—On Thursday last, about noon, the Queen of the Isle steamer, on her passage from this port to Douglas, picked up a small boat containing a boy about ten years of age. The poor fellow, when brought on board, was in a state of partial insanity, arising from fear and the effects of the salt water he had drank. It appears, he was a little forlorn wretch, wandering about Douglas. Having, on Saturday week, begged a small bag of meal, of which some boys endeavoured to rob him, he took refuge in a small boat, which being let adrift by his pursuers, he was carried out to sea, and, when discovered by the captain, was about forty miles from the place he had drifted from.

DREADFUL OCCURRENCE.-011 the racecourse on Wed nesday last a most serious occurrence took place, by which a fine-looking youth lost his life. Three men, named John Leigh, of Liverpool ; James Dasey, of Jane Shore-court, London; and William Lovett, of this town, itinerants, were engaged upon the racecourse, with targets, bows, and arrows. In the course of the afternoon, while a party were amusing themselves with shooting, Mr. John May, of Kirby Musloe, and his son were passing at the back of the target, when unfortunately an arrow struck the poor boy in the eye, and penetrated his brain. He was subsequently conveyed to the infirmary, where he lingered, suffering the most excruciating pain, for a few hours, and then expired. Leigh and Dasey were apprehended on the spot, but Lovett, to whom the arrows belonged, has at present made his escape. An in quest was held on the body yesterday, and adjourned till Monday, at which Leigh and Dasey were discharged. The police are in search of Lovett.—Leicester Journal. THE AMERICAN TREATY AND THE AMERICAN TARIFF. —The attention of the merchants in the city has been almost wholly engrossed this morning in deliberating on the impor tant results likely to arise from the final adjustment of all the points of difference upon which Lord Ashburton was em powered to negotiate. As far as the political bearings of the question are revealed, the result is viewed with unqualified satisfaction, but the modus operandi of the New Tariff Act is not so generally approved of. It is apprehended that vexa tious disputes will arise out of the principle upon which the ad valorem duties are to be levied under the new law, and the immediate payment of all the duties in money is also con sidered as a hardship which will obstruct trade under parti cular circumstances. To this last objection the necessities of the central government may, however, for the present, be deemed a sufficient answer. The private letters state that the estimate made of the amount of revenue which will occrue under the new tariff will not do more than cover one-half of the deficiency for the present year ; and as there is no imme diate prospeut of the loan being taken up either in their own market or in Europe, that an enlarged issue of Treasury notes was the only alternative to meet current demands. As far as reliance can be placed upon the mercantile letters, written from New York, under the influence of a first impression of the effect of the adjustment of the differences, an immediate i m provement in business may be expected.

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. GOVERNMENT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. Despatches have just been received from the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, containing accounts from the officer commanding the troops at Port Natal. The intelligence is important. The following is a summary of it : Advices have been received from the Cape of Good Hope, dated 15th July, bringing advices from Port Natal of the 3d of the same month. They announce the junction of the re inforcements sent from Cape Town with Capt. Smith's gal lant little band, who, with 26 wounded within his closely confined camp, and no other food than horseflesh for more than a fortnight, and a desperate and vigilant foe around him, had managed to maintain his post. Aided by the Southampton frigate. Captain Ogle, and the Conch schooner, commanded by Mr. Bull, Colonel Cloete landed his troops, although the headlands at the entrance of the harbour were armed with guns, and the Boers had col lected in force to oppose him, with very few casualties. Immediately after his disembarkation, Colonel Cloete marched with detachments of his force, and two days' only provisions, upon Congella, the Boers taking flight with the utmost precipitation. In this place were found their stores, and a foundry for shot. The Boers had retired to their encampment, 12 miles off, where they had mustered to the number of 400. Col. Cloete, having had no time to land his stores from the Southampton, was unable to make any forward movement, but in the esent of the Boers nol accepting his terms, would lose no time in so doing. Meantime, the Caffi es, who have been so cruelly treated by the Boers, have attacked and killed several of their body, whilst several of the inhabitants of Congella had volunteered to take the oath of allegiance. The Boers had offered to confer with Col. Ch.ote between their camp and Congella ; but the colonel declined any negociation not prefaced by their sub mission. hitherto the colonel has very properly declined to enlist the Aborigines in his cause. The Boers are, it appears, labouring under the bsurd notion that they will be protected by the King of the Netherlands, and this on the authority of a person wholly unauthorised, whose sole object was to excite disaffection to British government. The last of Colonel Cloete's dispatches announces that Petorius and his band were retreating to Maritzburg, having heard that Panda and the Zoolars were marching against them. There appears to be no doubt that the Dutch settlers must immediately come to terms, for they are now between two fires, and must feel that they had better accept the conciliatory proposals that have been made to them than persist in their present course. The conduct of Captain Smith and his devoted little band ap pears to have been most praiseworthy. Notwithstanding the extremity to which they were reduced, they persisted in refusing the proffered services of Panda and his hordes. olsmo.NAL ov Mit, lU)WLAND HILL (Joremi the 3forning Herald.) The Chronicle complains bitterly of the dismissal from his situation of Mr. Rowland Hill, " the individual to whom the country is indebted for the inestimable advantages of the cheap postage ;" and adds with a howl, like a hired mourner at an Irish wake, " Mr. Rowland Hill is no longer to have even a share in the working of his own plan." Before we lament the irreparable loss to the public service of the " in dividual" alluded to, it may perhaps be worth while to ask what are the " inestimable advantages" resulting from this highly-vaunted scheme. It is true it has promoted letter writing amongst " the million"—footmen and ladies' maids correspond with each other more freely now than heretofore —" literary dustmen," unfettered by distance, appeal now to. the penny post—and begging-letter writers have increased in the proportion of ten to one. They whose hands were formerly familiar only with the spade or the flail, have be taken themselves to calligraphy, and, instead of enjoying their wonted evening pipe and pot of beer, write letters to Chronicle, and sign themselves " Clodpole." " Whap straw," and so forth. These advantages are manifest, but there is one which the Chronicle keeps in the hack ground; the loss to the revenue of something very like a million sterling per annum, in consequence of the adoption of Mr. Rowland Hill's " plan." How far that portion of the pub lic, not given to sentimental or political scribbling, benefits by the " plan " we leave to the Chronicle to explain in its next article on taxation. But the gravamen of the offence charged against the Government is not so much the actual dismissal of Mr. Hill as the refusal to allow him to continue " to have a share" in the " working" (the Chronicle calls it) of the " plan," by which we suppose is meant the profits arising from it. Let the acute and well-instructed officials at St. Martin's le-Grand perform the labours of the penny-post system, but give Mr. Hill a recompense for the " plan," which costs the nation a million annually. May we not exclaim with Falstaff, " Didst thou not share? Hadst thou " not fifteen pence 7" Or rather fifteen hundred pounds a year ? And is not this a sufficient reward for the " plan ?" But, as the Chronicle says, Mr. Hill has evidently " a large and com prehensive grasp," and thinks himself an ill-used man if he be not saddled for life upon the country, like the old man of the sea on Sindbad's shoulders. REVISION OF THE MUNICIPAL LIST. Thursday was the last day for serving notices of objections and claims for the present year. The objections are very numerous : they amount to 1,669. The subjoined table will show that in several wards the objections are very numerous. We understand, however, that many objections have been withdrawn already. The claims amount to only 94, of which 50 are from the Conservative and 44 from the, Liberal side. Wards. By Conservatives. By Liberals. 1. Everton 2. Scotland 3. Vauxhall.. it 44 4.

THE FLAX TRADE, —We are happy to report a considera ble improvement in the flax trade at Leeds. Nearly all the mills which began to run short time after the alteration of the French tariff have resumed their wonted activity, finding that the mischief to be worked by that measure is not so great as was expected ; and some of them are further increasing their stock of machinery to augment their production of yarn.— Leeds Intelligencer. A RIVER DRIEID up,—The heats of the summer have so dried up the waters of the river Elbe, that the water-mills are all at a stand ; and near Pirna the river is entirely dry. The waters, in retiring, have given up a secret kept by them for more than 200 years. A square stone is left bare, having the following significant inscription in Saxon patois:— " When last men saw me, in August, 1629, they wept; and they who see me next shall weep too." DUTY ON Rum.—The Gazette of Friday contains an Or der in Council, fixing the duty upon rum from Madras according to the following shedule :—For every gallon of rum, of any strength of proof by Sikes's hydrometer, and so in proportion for any greater or less strength than the strength of proof, and for every greater or less quantity than a gallon, being the produce of the territories subject to the government of the Presidency of Fort St. Geor 4 ge, in Madras. not being sweetened or mixed with any article so that the degree if strength thereof cannot be exactly ascertained by such hy drometer, 9s. 4d. For every gallon of rum shrub, however sweetened, the produce of and imported from such territoriesf and so in proportion for any greater or less quantity than a gallon, 9s. 4d. EXTENSION Or PROTESTANTISM IN FRANCE.— Few persons are aware of a fact which we are about to mention on the authority of a friend, who has resided much abroad, and who possesses extensive opportunities of arriving at the truth —viz., that Protestantism is making rapid strides in France. In some localities the advance is marvellous; and if the move ment continues to progress with its present steadiness, a great change will ultimately be effected in the religious cha racter of the French people. When we consider the very important position which France occupies, it is difficult to over-estimate the importance of such a result. The peace and happiness of the civilized world may be materially in volved in it. A strong Protestant party would form the best break-water against revolution—the best safeguard for the preservation of the peace of Europe. There exists in Paris a central " Societe Evangeligne," which has extensive ra mifications, and possesses much influence, and, we believe, considerable means. A large number of Protestant clergy men have been sent out by this institution and the Report for 1842, which we have recently seen, is full of facts which illustrate our friends statement. Gloaceshire Chronicle. FOREIGN HARVEST.—The harvest is almost entirely gathered in throughout the east of Europe; and we are enabled to furnish the following comparative estimates, collected from the most accurate accounts :—ln Selesia there has been a good average harvest. In Poland, in Gallicia, and in the Duchy of Posen there has been a decidedly good harvest, and the same may be said with respect of Russian. In Hungary the crops have been most satisfactory; and in the Banat, which is regarded as the granary of the country, they have been doubly as productive as those of last year. In Transylvannia and the Turkish provinces the harvest has also been most plentiful. Similar abundance has also been experienced in Moravia. Everywhere the grain is of good quality, and yields from 15 to 10 per cent more flour than in humid years. It may therefore be fairly predicted that in the east of Europe the price of wheat will fall instead of rising, even though foreign demands should be very great.— Allgemeine Zeitung. , Tun MORMONITE PROPHET.—The Rev. Henry Caswell, Professor of Divinity in Kemper College , St. Louis, has written a very interesting book, called " Three Days at Nauvoo, in 1842." The writer had an interview with the celebrated " Joe Smith," and his m other, and relates several amusing anecdotes, all tending to show the shallow ness of this modern delusion. The " Prophet" thus speaks of his miserable dunes :—" Many of the English who have lately come here have expressed great disappointment on their arrival. Such persons have every reason to be satisfied in this beautiful and fertile country. If they choose to complain they may ; but I don't want to be troubled with their COM. plaints. If they are not satisfied here, I have only to say this to them—Don't stay whining about me, but go back to England and be d—d." This man has actually mustered no less than 1700 fighting men at his city of Nauvoo, and is said to have, in different parts of the world, no less than 100,000 followers. TIDE TABLE. Days. Mrn. Ern.

It appears that the stock of Butter in the hands of importers is very small, and that arrivals from Ireland are barely equal to the consumption. Hence it is argued by some, in the trade, that a considerable advance in price, must necessarily take place. 'w e are not altogether of this opinion ; at least so far as the assumed cause for improvement is concerned. The great facilities which are now afforded to country dealers, by means of steam, to obtain supplies direct from Ireland, and at the shortest notice, has rendered Liverpool, comparatively speaking, only an entrepot. The stock on the other side, we understand, are considerable ;—the market having been most abundant, and still continues so. We look to other causes for the present favourable aspect of the market ; and they, it is gratifying to remark, are to be found in the gradual and steady improvement which is taking place in our manufacturing districts. Belfast and other Butters of an equal class we quote 82s to 83s. Waterford, Newry, Banbridge, &c., 75s to 80s. Great un certainty continues to prevail in the provision trade, touching future operations. We hear of no orders free on board. At present the only demand for B eef and Por k is for ships st ores. The salter article may be purchas ed at a very low figure. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT 16. The same monotonous feeling characterises our market to day ; our demand does not exceed 2500 bales ; nevertheless, prices are firm and steady. The sales of the week are 12,400 bales, of which 500 are for export, and 500 on speculation remain to the trade, which again have not brought more than half their con sumption. COTTON MARKET, SEPTEMBER lg. We have not the slightest change to remark upon in our Cotton market. Consumers purchase very sparingly, and every thing has a very flat appearance again. The sales on Saturday were 2590 bales ; to.day the same amount, all to the trade. As regards prices, we cannot make any change. 'folders evince no anxiety to effect sales, and this prevents any apparent decline, though buyers pur• chase on more favourable terms. COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT. The demand has been very moderate throughout the week, and the buying confined: almost exclusively' to the trade; prices have undergone little or no change, as the holders, with few exceptions. have abstained from offering their stocks in the present dull state of the market. Speculators have taken 500 American and ex porters 300 American and 300 Madras.

The duty has again advanced on Foreign Wheat to 165., on Rye to 10s. 6d. per qr. ; on Flour to 9s. 71d. per barrel ; upon Colonial Wheat to 35., on Rye to is. 6d. per qr., and on Flour to ls. 91d. per barrel, with the prospect of these articles shortly attaining the highest rates payable from British possessions. Of English, Irish, and Foreign Grain, the arrivals into this port within the last three days have been unusually small; and of Flour, scarcely more than about 4000 barrels from Canada and the United States. Notwithstanding the preVailing impression that the imports from abroad will not be repeated so extensively as heretofore for some time to come, and that meanwhile we shall have to depend principally upon supplies to be derived from the growth of this country and Ireland, the transactions here, in any department of the corn trade between Tuesday and to day, have been very unimportant, and the general quotations specified in our last circular barely maintained. Upon a very slender attendance of town and country buy ers at our Corn Exchange to-day, and more than ordinary indifference on the part of millers to increase their engage ments, we have to report an exceedingly dull trade for all descriptions of Foreign Wheat, which were decidedly easier to purchase, and had sales been practicable to any mate rial extent, somewhat lower terms would have been conceded. Of English Wheat no fresh samples appeared ; the few small lots of Irish New, therefore, were mostly sold, yet not without submitting to a decline of 2d. to 3d. per 701bs. from the rates previously noted. States and Canadian Flour, being in limited request, were the turn cheaper. Having no English or Irish offering, prime marks would readily command late prices. New Oats, meeting little attention, must be noted Id per 451bs. cheaper, but old, upon a rather better inquiry, are unaltered in value. With the exception of 2000 to 3000 loads of old Oatmeal disposed of at an abatement of 6d per 2401b5., and a few small lots of new at a similar decline, very lile.business in this article has been transacted to-day. Being without any supply of Malting Barley, no exact value for such is yet ascertainable, and grinding qualities are little more than nominal to-day. Malt and Beans. moving slowly into consumption, scarcely support former prices. Boiling Pease are also difficult to sell ; of the slow kinds of foreign, however, several parcels have been taken for feed ing at 295. to 31s. per quarter. LIVERPOOL PR . .CES. CURRENT.
