There are several reading-rooms and literary institutions worthy of attention. The " Club House" in George's-street is a decorative building, and numbers amongst its members the mass of the wealthy and respectable inhabitants of the province, as well as others in various parts of the empire. The " Institution" in the same street has spacious reading and news rooms, and a large and valuable library. The Chamber of Commerce reading-room, attached to the Com mercial Buildings, has also a splendid library, and is well supplied with newspapers and periodicals. There is also a well-conducted Mechanics Institution. The principal establishments for the accommodation of travellers are large and commodious. Mr. Cruse's Royal Mail Coach Hotel, George's-street, to which I was intro duced, is a splendid house, combining elegance and comfort with the utmost civility and attention. The coaching and earring departmesit, attached to - and from Dublin, Cork, Waterford, Killarney, &c. &c., is extensive , and the rapid succession of arrivals and departures presents an almost continued scene of bustle and animation. Arthur Quay and Honan's Quay, near the bottom of the same fine street, form the landward boundaries of a tidal dock for small craft, of a triangular form, which it is pur posed to wall in from the river as a floating dock. The entrance to this intended dock is already built—the vessels to pass and repass the Limerick end of Wellesley Bridge by a large swivel arch of cast iron, which is additional to the five noble arches of stone.

The arches below were intended to be appropriated as stores for merchandise, but have fallen into disuetudein consequence, it appears, of the accumulation of damp. The most fashion able promenades are George's-street and the Wellesley Bridge. The embankment on the north side of the river, lower down, which was formed at the joint expense of the Marquis of Lansdowne and Matthew Barrington, Esq, affords however, a charming stroll, though it is rather too remote to be generally available. The immediate environs of Limerick, with some few ex ceptions, (particularly down the river,) are not peculiarly at tractive ; and the south-eastern suburb of Garry Owen, as well as the neighbouring fields, contain small streets and rows of those miserable clay-built thatched hovels, common in these districts, and which exhibit a painful contrast to the neatness and comfort of an English cottage home. At the distance, however, of a few miles, may be found some of the finest and most interesting remains of antiquity and grandeur, castellated and civic, amidst the most picturesque and diversified lowland scenery, or elevated on eminences, corn =riding views of surpassing beauty and extent. Castle Troy, now an ivy-mantled ruin, rears its venerable head on the south bank of the Shannon, about four miles east from the city, and even in name, apart from the stirring events connected with it in feudal times, calls forth remi niscences of " the deeds of the days of other years." On a lovely day in May, I started from the city, with two young and intelligent companions, (sons of my friend Captain Kennedy,) with the double object of viewing its remains, and ruralizing by the way. We had provided a fishing rod and tackle, in hopes, though not sanguine in this respect, of catching a few trout, or salmon fry. The commencement of our walk was along the banks of the canal which alternates with the river in the inland navigation to Killaloe on the Upper Shannon. The first length of the canal cuts off a bend or delta of the river, and our path was through a fine, open, campaign country or plain, bounded on the south and east by a range of mountains. The excursion was pleasant, but the sky was cloudless, and the sun so powerful, with scarcely a breath of wind, that our attempts iu angling were unsuccessful, and others who had pursued " the gentle pastime" for hours, were scarcely more fortunate. At the head of the length of canal noticed, the boats enter the river on the same level. The stream here expands, with an em bankment on the south, on which is the towing path. Some castellated ruins top eminences on the right, and the uplands are di , iersified by several seats, the wood, in belts and en closures round which, is of considerable growth—giving the scene the appearance of an English landscape. The moun tains of Clare, cultivated in patches nearly to their summits, and spotted with small farm-houses and white cottages, ter minate the prospect on the north : and a gap in the hills to the east indicates the pass of the mighty Shannon between the two counties. Plassey Corn-mill, in which water and soon rose in view on the —.6in of the river, and the castle peering over trees was beyond it. We visited this establishment—one of the largest in that part of the country. It had in the previous winter been entirely destroyed by fire, but the walls being 'll good, workmen kvere employed in repairing it, and intro several Mechanical and 'architectural improvements. isantly situated amongst meadows and fields, stir , trees.

The northern base is washed by the stream, and little more remains of it than part of the eastern end, also dilapi dated, and presenting the appearance, from a short dis stance, of a square tower mantled with ivy,—a chimney (probably that of the kitchen and banquetting room) forming the highest point—for the stalwart warriors of yore, amidst all their fighting, never forgot to make provision for feasting. Judging from the mural outline yet traceable, it appears to have been of a polygonal form, (of five sides,) describing an oblong square, with a right angle superadded at one end. The east and north walls are yet apparently of nearly their original height, and the window appertures, fireplaces, and fragments of plaster done on wicker-work, denote the ex istence of once stately interior appartments. The whole is of lime stone, and huge fragments of ruin, upwards of two yards in thickness, are promiscuously strewed on the south side, in such a manner as to afford ground for the conjecture that it was blown up simultaneously with Garrig-o-gunniel and Castle Connell, in 1689. I have at hand no historical account of this structure. The wooden floors have all dis appeared, but there are still portions of stone floors supported on arches, at the east, or tower end, forming platforms, now covered with grass. We ascended by a broken and rather dangerous spiral staircase to the upper story, whence we ob tained a delightful view of the surrounding country, which, on the south and east is enriched by several finely wooded mansions. A large portion of the centre of the arch in which we stood has dropped out, leaving the springs overhanging on each side, without key or inner sup port, save what it derives from the excellence of the mortar. 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 sullied 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 prisoners 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 rui❑ 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. 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 the 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 Croorn, 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 Bailing packelss 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 hoard, 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 of their contract in times of peace, and in order to give commerce the benefit they are so eminently calculated to give, and to diminish 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 cargoes by purely private 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 commercial immunities granted by the Brazilian government to this projected line are the paramount advantages of the contract—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, raiely 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 Catharina, Monte Video, and Buenos Ayres. The mails for Maranham, Para, and other ports on the coast, to be 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. Catharina, 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 goo - ds and passengers from one to the other of the imperial ports, prompt dispatch for the receiving and landing, without any impediment what ever, of their passengers an 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 vcith 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 incaleul able—punctuality in all its foreign communications standing foremost, next the shortness and limitation of time in every negociation abroad, the prevention of misunder standings, the means of amending or altering measures or instructions with rapidity, and of keeping up an almost telegraphic communication between every one of our men of war in all the South Atlantic Seas. We are not aware 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 unheeded; 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 wo these ci v il an d i nterna ti ona l wars , can n ot pay, or those _ r emain standing, pay only in deteriorated paper cur rency, such as the Buenos Ayres dollar, worth now about two pence ; the manufacturing and shipping interest of this and unsettled state produce , country loses b that, after assuminge great diminution which their poverty produce, and it might safely be asserted of Xl,ooo,ooafixed and irrevocable loss to our com merceabout £lOO,OOO per a up to this time, an additional loss of annum least is added to this country ideo,thr ugh a diminution of trade with . bz yre th s e an co d n lv ti i n o u n a t n e c v e o ratricidt4 quarrels of Buenos them. Are we looking for consumers of our manufactured goods ? It appears that the Chamber of Deputies had already granted to Mr. J. Sturz, in 1840, all such privileges and im munities as were requi s it e t o i n d uce an assoc i a ti on 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 i n 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. IIISCELLANEOUS A tesselated Roman pavementhas recently been discovered in Leicester. It is supposed to have been sixteen hundred 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 friglit at the passing of a train of carriages on the Great Western railway. Some ground turned up in Bushby Park last winter, which had 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 Lion. Charles Villiers, a near relation Of the Earl of Clarendon, was tined 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. this is in consequence of the workmen still refusing to give more than 4id. per lb.— Weidman. THE BOY JONES.—The boy Jones, of palace-visiting notoriety, would not be taken on board the Diamond, at Cork, for Port Philip. The master, Captain Taylor, refused a handsome sum as an apprentice fee, which the Bow-street officer who accompanied him here offered.— Waterford Mail. 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 Rouen 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. ENTHUSIASM.—A Manchester gent in search of the won derful, returning from Patterdale to Ambleside, over Kirk stone, came to the resolution to return home, as 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 o❑ 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 who formerly 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 theuniforin practice 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 reaehed 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.—Glasyow 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 KNARESBOROUGH 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 the/ 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. THE MURDER AT WYMONDHAM.—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 ber 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 her 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 after the first blow, he believes, but once. He then took her by the heels, and dragged her on her back to the pond, and threw her into a part of it that was not d ee p. He returned to the place of the murder, and finding there her hat and apron, in which she had tied up some sticks, he took and hid them in an adjoining field, and then returned for his spade. When he came back, lie saw, to his great surprise, the poor girl sitting on the margin of the pond about two yards from it. The blood was running from her wounds. She fixed her eyes on him, but neither cried out nor spoke. He again took her by the heels, and dragged her as before. O n the wa y , she c aught hold of the grass, and clinched it in her bands. He threw her into another part of the pond, and put his spade upon her neck, to keep her under the water; and, after a short interval, he pushed her with it into the middle of the pond, and left her with her head, and mouth more especially, above the surface. The and immediately says, that h e sawca causing the wound, which was whole of this latter scene of the horrid transactio n did no t occupy, according to h is account, much mor e than a minute.

The bloody 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. 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.

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 natl.—Vicksburg/1 Sentinel. DEATH OF DR. NPNEVIN.—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 wa s th e 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, an d, thinking that the individual above alluded to belonged to the shop, said to him, " I 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." imports.

RECTOR OF STOK ,hould close of repose nd end -worn cheek ! grow! Beyond these we entered a gavel walk, on the margin of the river, bordered with grass, and shaded by forest trees. This, judging from the numerous initials carved on the smooth bark of the prevailing-beech birch and ash, is the resort of " amorous swains and damsels coy." It brought us to two neat and sequestered little villas in the cottage style with sloping gardens and shrubberies tastefully laid out. A little beyond stands Is not it important fur us to ace 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-peopled Paraguay ? 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 South America, we cannot but hail the steam navigation of the Amazon, which Brazil seems now also desirous to pro mote, as a fresh - triumph for our epoch of civilisation and commerce.

LIVERPOOL. CORN EXCHANGE.—This DAY (From Messrs. 1?. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.) SECOND EDITION. With heavy rains and cold boisterous winds here on Wed nesday, succeeded yesterday by a bright clear sky and smart drying breeze from the north-west, the weather has exhibited opposite extremes this week more than at any other period during the present season. The rains, which by our advices appear at the same time to have been very general, having given a lively impulse to the proceedings in Mark-lane, in duced considerable operations 'here yesterday in bonded Wheat and Flour, which, as well as most other articles of the Corn trade, were held with increasing firmness, and com manded higher prices. The arrivals of English and Irish produce into this port since Tuesday last are again small ; except Oatmeal, of which we have a good supply, whilst those from the continent of Europe are restricted to a limited quantity of Wheat and Beans only. From Canada. however, we have to note a fur ther large import of Flour, with several parcels of Wheat, and 710 quarters of Pease, as stated below. The duty on foreign Wheat is reduced to 20s. Bd., on Pease to ss. per quartet, on Flour to 12s. 5d., remaining in all other respects the same as last week. Upon a change of wind and a few showers this morning, the weather has resumed a more unfavourable aspect to-day, and although free Wheats were generally 2d. to 3d. per 701bs. dearer, the millers, anticipating the release of Canadian next week at the lowest point of duty, were rather inactive, and the advance was reluctantly paid. Several further car goes in bond, however, were taken by speculative buyers, at an improvement of 6d. per 701bs. over Tuesday's quota tions. Free Flour realized an amendment of 2s. per sack, and 2s. per barrel. States Flour underloek was in fair request at 355., and Canadian at 395. per barrel. Barley, continuing scarce, advanced 2d. to 3d. per 601bs. ; and Malt, Beans and Pease fully supported late prices, with a moderate demand for each. Oats, at the commencement of the market were held at 2d per 451bs. above the increased rates of Tuesday, but not being readily complied with, 3s. 9d. for the besf Irish was more generally established. Oatmeal was saleable to a fair extent, and prime marks brought 325. per 2401b5. ARRIVALS OF CORN, From the 10th to the 12th August, 1841, inclusive DESCRIPTION. I IRE- COAST- , CANADA I PO- I I LAND.

The sales again amount to 2500 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.

(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 4 Son _ 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 dying 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 is per barrel and per sack ; 2d per 45 lb. on Oats, and 2s per 240 lb. 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 74d 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 8s to 9s 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 in bond now almost at one price. Fine Dutch heavy Brew Oats in bond 3s. 2d to 3s 4d per 45 lb. Egyptian Beans 24s to 265 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.

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 he very uneven in prices, having what is technically termed its " soft places." To-day 2300 bales have been sold at piices id to id below those obtained on Friday last, more particularly in the lower de scriptions of American Cotton. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 12 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 gas per cwt., according to character of brand, and quality. Pickled Butter is steady at about gOs 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 in 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 6el to 7d; Mutton 64d to fiid, very prime 7d ; Lambs 54d to 64 per lb.
