Voctrp. TEN YEARS AGO. BY THOMAS HAYNES BAYLEY. Ten years ago, ten years ago, Lite was to us a fairy scene; And the keen blasts of worldly woe Had sered not then its pathway green. Youth and its thousand dreams were ours, • Feeling we ne'er can know again; Unwither'd hopes, unwasted powers, And frames unworn by mortal pain. Such was the bright and gentle flow Of life with us, ten years ago! Time has not blanch'd a single hair " l i trat clusters mond - thy- forehead now; Nor hath the cankering touch of care • Left e'en one furrow on thy brow. Thine eyes are blue as when we met In love's deep truth, in earlier years; Thy cheek of rose is blooming yet, Though sometimes stain'd by secret tears; But where, oh where's the spirit's glow, That shone through all—ten years ago? I, too, am changed—l scarce know why— Can feel each fla , ging pulse decay; And youth and health, and visions high, Melt like a wreath of snow away; Time cannot sure hare wrought the ill; Though worn in this world's sickening stri;e, In soul and form, I linger still In the first surraner month of life; Yet journey on lay path below, a Oh, how unlike—ten years ago! But look not thus—l would not give The wreck of hopes that thou roust share, To hid those joyons hours revive When all around me seemed so fair. We've i.vander'd.on in sunny wea; bet, When winds were low and flowers in bloom, And hand in hand have kept together, And still will keep, 'mid storm and gloom, Eudear'd by ties we could not know When life was young—ten years ego. Has fortune frown'd ? Her frowns were vain For hearts like ours he could not chill; Have friends proved false? Their love might wane, But ours grew fowler, firmer still. Twin barks on this world's changing. wave, Stedfast'in calms, in re: tpests tried, ' In concert still our fate we'll brave, Together cleave life's fitful tide; • Nor mourn, whatever winds may blow, Youth's wild dreams, ten years ago. Have we not knelt beside his bed, And watch'd our first-born blossom die? Hoped till the shade of hope had fled, 1 hen wept till feeling's fount was dry? Was it not sweet in that dark hour, To think, 'mid mutual tears and sighs, Our bud has left its earthly bower And hurst to bloom in Paradise? What to the thought that soothed that woe, Were heartless joys, ten years ago? Yes, it is sweet, when heaven is bright, To share its sunny beams with thee; But sweeter far, 'mid clouds and blight, To have thee near to weep with me. Then dry those tears—though something changed From what we were in earlier youth. Time, that hatli hopes and friends estranged, Hath left us love in all its truth— Sweet feelings we would not forego For life's best joys ten years ago. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA. (From the Morning Herald.) There is something exceedingly touching in the kind, heartfelt, and paternal tone of eloquence in which the Emperor Ferdinand of Austria addressed, the other day, the states and deputies of the Tyrol. In language that borrows its interest from its simpli• city he speaks xithout reserve, and without the cold complaint of the formality of courts, the emotions of the father of his people. "It is with joy," says the Emperor, " that I have come among you, my dear people of the Tyrol and Vorarlberg. The solemn oath of fidelity which you are desirous of swearing to me, through your states and reprosentatives, proceeds, as was the case with your fathers, from tried and faithful hearts. My heart receives them with the same emo tion as did my ancestors—as did my father, who now reposes in God. And so it will continue to be. The Lord, who governs the destinies of empires, has hi therto, on every occasion, blessed such a bond with in creased prosperity, and times of severe trial have only made it more firm. / will, therefore, my beloved, be your father, even as my . father has handed you over to me as his children." The closing passage of this interesting and pathetic address is particularly beauti ful—" Carefully preserve your religious spirit —your simplicity of manners—your ancient truth, vigour, and endurance—your filial reliance on the care of your Sovereign, and with these be assured, assembled states and representatives of the Tyrol and Vorarl berg, of my imperial and paternal grace and favour." These are not empty words, coming as they do from the lips of so good a man—so just and benevolent a monarch as Ferdinand of Austria. A sovereign who is as incapable of exercising absolute power to grind and oppress his subjects, like Nicholas of Russia, as he is of practising the low artifices to catch a hollow popu larity—the clap-trap contrivances for public stage effect, which distinguish Louis Philip, who is only the "Citizen-King" in his speeches, but the despot in his acts. He who has taken care that the liberties of France should not endure much longer than the "three days of July," in which so much blood flowed to.se cure them, who has been the incessant unrelenting persecutor of the press ever since it helped to raise him to a throne, is, in the tropes and metaphors of the artificial eloquence of courtly deception, a clever and not unsuccessful actor. But one sentence of the sim ple truth—the truly paternal kindness which the Em peror Ferdinand addresses to his people is worth all the flourishes of rhetoric that ever obtained for Louis Philip the momentary acclamations of the most thea trical people of the civilised world. During the time that Ferdinand has now been on the throne of his ancestors, the blood of not one ul his millions of Austrian subjects has flowed upon the scaf fold. One man was condemned to death for•muider in the second year after his accession; but his heart revolted against the barbarous punishment which the law still retains for that offence, and he commuted the sentence to imprisonment ►or life—a punishment equally coercive with death, but VI Nell gives the offender opportunity and' inducement to repentance, and does not destroy in the minds of the people the salutary notion of the sacredness of life which princes and legislatures should ever cultivate and guard. The spirit of religion which breathes the Emperor's speech—the entire and unqualified dependence which It expresses lied inculcates upon the will of the all ruling Providence in whose sight nations are but "dust upon the balance," while he cares for the' meanest of his creatures, might shame the "enlight ened liberality" of many of our British "reformers," who would achieve for the people the melancholy— the fatal triumph of emancipating themselves from the "yoke of religion," and exalting their free natures to a level with those of the "beasts that perish" by blotting the name of Divine Providence from their acts and their remembrance. But the true British patriot will say to the English people in nearly the words of the Emperor Ferdinand, " Carefully preserve your religious spirit —your simplicity of manners—your ancient truth, vigour and endurance—your filial allegiance to your sove reign, and hereditary regard for the ancient institu tions of your country." In these things your high minded and glorious ancestors found the elements of empire, and as they are preserved or abandoned, so Inspire will be maintained or lost." CHESTER CHEESE FA IR.—Our fair yesterday was well at tended by both sellers and buyers from every part of the country. Middling dairies fetched from 58s. to 60s. per cwt., and prime ones went off from 605. to 655. The quantity pitched in the Halls was so great, that a good deal remained unsold in the afternoon.—Chester Gazette. BLOWING UP OP THE BoereE.—On Thursday noon con siderable curiosity was excited in this town, (Portsmouth,) to witness Mr. Abbinot's experiment of blowing up the wreck of the Boyne, off Southsea Castle, which was burned and sunk in 1795. 'This wreck has ever since been a disgrace to the naval energies of this country , affording as it did - an ob. struction to all coasters and vessels of light draught of water. When Abbinet first made an effort to remove it, parts of it were only four feet under water: at this moment there is not less than 18 feet over every part at low water, and therefore great good has been done to the pavigation of Spithead and the port purely by dint of private exertion. About, four years ago, Mr. Abbinet, with a magazine of 2tX)lbs of powder, blew off about 30 feet of the sternmost part of the wreck; and it was only in the spring . of this year that he brought into harbour a mass of timber weighing at least 30 tons, a portion or the result of that explosion. We mention the time of this first experiment to show that Colonel Pasley's late experi ments in the river Thames were by no means original ones. On the present occasion, 6.301bs of powder were exploded, and this was enclosed in an oil hogshead, into which two step cocks were inserted; to these were attached two leaden tube pipes, conteining an igniting match of 45 feet in length; at the upper e t el of each, port fires were attached, which would burn about tour minutes. When the pipes were at tached, the magazine was very gently lowered into the water; and as it sank, it was hauled" into the situation intended by means Of a rope leading throu g h a block, previously lashed to or near the kelson of the wreck. The , part fixed on was main under the larboard bilge, ab reast the chains with at least 20 feet of the bottom overhanging , th e ship a on the opposite bilge. At this place ab out 30 feet of th s e bot tomng aft was entire ; this is now destroyed orlaid flat, as well also as the bottom for 40 feet forward. The whole wreck now therefore is dispersed on the ground, the fore part having been the original burning; and as the tides, which destroyed w h ic h run pretty strong over the spot, will no doubt soon wash off the mud which has accumulated to some feet in depth, Mr. Abbinet will be able to pick up the various portions, the most valuable of which are copper bolts and copper sheathing. The guns have been already nearly all picked up. When the magazine was safe landed, the two portfires, with the upper ends of the lead tube projecting upwards about two feet, were securely lashed to an e ighteen- , ellon cask as a float; all boats and vessels were now orderedr to withdraw; himself. On Abbinet, having fired the matches, w ithdrew On the explosion taking place, a huge mass of water, a . b . ou . t 40 feet square, rose up in a solid bulk for about six feet high, and then broke in the centre, throwing up several foamy columns for about ten feet higher. A low report was heard, as of a heavy explosion at a great distance, but no flame was apparent, nor was there any smoke: we imagine, however, if it had been dark. that a flame would have been seen to issue from the water. The day was beatifully fine; nearly 100 boats, filled with parties, were assembled; and it was quite amusing to witness the subsequent scrambling for fishes which were stunued or stupified, and to the number of hundreds came up floating on the water. The Port Admiral, Sir Philip Durham, was present; and as the experiment was intended to have taken place on the preceding day, it would have been a singular incident that be should then have been present at the blowing up of one ship, as flag officer of the Rene on the 56th anniversary of`the sinking of his own ship, Mks Ro,yal George, near the same spot, at a time when he WItS *got lieutenant of her,-11cinspahire Telegraph. • MISCELLANEOUS. At Bucklaad, near Frome, a respectable farmer has a terrier bitch, which lately had young ones, and having beaten them off, has adopted a kitten, which she is now suckling with the greatest fondness. KNOW LEDGE.—There is no simple interest in knowledge. Whatever funds you have in that bank, go on increasing by interest—till the - bank fails.— The Doctor. A. DETERMINED PCNSTER.—Some one attributing the wants of Ireland to absenteeism, a resolute punster, de clared that "the misery of the Irish arose not from absent lea-ism, but from absent-dinner-ism."—Colburn's New Monthly. A shoemaker of the Faubourg St. Jacques, is stated to have made the discovery that the soles of boots and shoes steeped in boiling bitumen are rendered waterproof and eve) lasting!—Paris paper. At the Knutsford sessions, just concluded, John Brockle horst, Esq. M.P. for Macclesfield, qualified. and took the oaths, as a magistrate for the county. FISH, FLESH, AND Fowt..--Last Saturday, Thomas Woodhouse, fisherman, of Heaton, on hauling in his nets, found in them a hare, a crow, a flounder, and a salmon ! The son of the late desperado Thistlevrood, the head of the Cato-street conspirators, has been committed to take his trial at. Maidstone for a highway robbery. He is a private in the 50th regiment. STATE OF TRADE.—There has been no change in our market for several days past. The demand for yarn continues languid, Lad the prices are consequently depressed; but there is a good demand fcr almost all kinds of piece goods, at steady and remunerating rates.—Manchester Guardian LARGE SALMON.—On Tuesday last the men employed by Mr. Melling, fishmonger, of this town, caught in the Ribble near to Walton-la-dale, a salmon, weighing 30lbs. This is one of the largest fish that.has been caught iu the Ribble for many years.—Preston Chronicle. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, SEPT. 3.—We hare had an average macket to-day, but the demand has been chiefly confined to flannels of the coarser kinds. The prices remain the same as last week. There has been little or no change in the wo:.1 market. either in regard to the quantity sold, or the price given. The monument in the burying-ground of Laeken, near Brussels, to the memory of Madame Malibran, is now finished. It consists of a small circular chapel, in which is to be placed the statue, by Geefs, of this lamented cantatrice. The build ing will receive light from a dome at the top. The design is said to be remarkably elegant. On Wednesday evening last, the Stag coach, in returning to this town from Manchester, was unfortunately upset at the bridge, within one mile of didhope. This point of the road has long been complained of as highly dangerous, having some time ago caused the upsetting of the Tantivy coach. Two of the passengers are we understand, injured; but the others providentially escaped.—Sheffield independent. SNOVIDON.—This majestic peak has had a clear front for the few last days, a fact which sufficiently shows the state of the weather. On Tuesday there were no less than 50 pedes trians at one time on the side of the mountain, as we are credibly informed by an eye-witness. The summit was en tirely free from cloud during long intervals, and only oc casionally moistened with a mist or two.—Carnarvon Herald. There is now growing in the garden of Mr. Thomas Ingham, of Stow Pasture, near Gainsborough, a remarkably fine specimen of that beautiful and (in ibis part of the country) rare plant, the variegated Scotch thistle. It measures nine yards in circumference, six feet two inches in height, and bears the enormous quantity of a hundred and one flowers.— Lincoln Mercury. KINMEL.—We are happy in being able to announce the return of Lord Dinorben to his delightful residence in ex cellent health. We perceive by the papers, that his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex has arrived on a visit to his friend Alexander Thistelwayte, Esq., at Southwick Park, near Flodsham, where he is expected to re►uain a fortnight, and then proceed on his annual tour of visits, which of course will include Kinmel.—Carnarron Herald. During the last ,seek an interesting spectacle has been witnessed on the lawn opposite the vicarage house, at Stur minster, where a young cuckoo is supported and maintained by the industry and attention of a water-wagtail. This little fellow is most careful and. zealous in behalf of his gigantic protege, and seems not a little proud of so promising a youth. If another wagtail approach the cuckoo, he is sure to meet with very heavy blows. The cuckoo can fly quite strong, but is still in leading-strings, and seems loth to relinquish the flattering attention of its little guardian. The two birds constantly roost together.— Wilts Independent. NEW GAS COMPANY, SHEFFIELD.—EFFECT OF COMPE TITION.—A general meeting of this company was held on Wednesday the 25th ult., James Montgomery, Esq. in the chair, when it appeared by the report, that, from the low price of gas, the returns for the past year scarcely amounted to the cost of manufacturing that essential article, leaving no profit to the proprietors for the great amount of capital already ex pended (upwards of £120,000) consequently no dividend could be declared; notwithstanding that, by au arrangement with the old company, the price of gas had been raised from five shillings to ten shillings per 1,000 cubic feet.—Birmingham paper. IRISH Poon-Laws.—Mr. Nicholls started for Ireland on Saturday. He takes with him, or they will follow, an office. keeper and one clerk, and the following assistant commis sioners:—Mr. Hawley, Mr. Ehrle, Mr Vonles, Mr. Gulson ; and, in all probability, the Hon. Mr. Clements, brother to Lord Clements, will be appointed, and will join them. Mr. Lefevre will, it is believed, have the power of the commis sion entrusted to him during Mr. Nicholl's absence; Mr. F. Lewis being absent on account of the death of Mrs. Frank land Lewis. Mr. Stanley, of Dublin, we hear, has been ap pointed an assistant secretary.—Hertford Reformer. We expressed last week our disbelief of the accounts which had reached this country . from Constantinople of the taking of Bushire, in the Persian Gulf, by the expedition ary force from Bombay • and we, at the same time, added that the island of Karrak was more probably the object of the expedition. The result has proved the accuracy of our information. We are now enabled to state, that the British force from Bombay took pos4ession of the island of Karrak on the 19th of June last, and that this important object was effected with the full consent of the local authorities. No thing has been heard, in quarters the best informed in this country, of the alleged proceedings at Bushire.—Observer. 'hat think you of my recognising in the person of a cri mina! in a Paris courtof justice, a magnificent and dignified count, the favourite of all the ladies in London, exalted by them to the table of English lords and ministers of state, a nobleman who used to travel about London with a magnifi cent red and gilt morocco book of his pedigree under his arm, showing how he was descended from the noblest blood in Europe ? This amiable nobleman has been condemned by the disciples of the blind goddess for the trifling matter of fifty-four robberies. Who do you think he turned out to be, this divinity of the London soirees? Why, the son of a Roman cook. This virtuous and agreeable man, if I remem ber right, ran away from Rome because he hat! robbed and thrashed his culinary sire.—Correspondent 4,f the Morning Post. MELANCHOLY DEATH.—CACTION.—A yerson of the name of John Stee, a pensioner, residing in Kendal, on Sunday week imagined that an issue in one of his legs would be be neficial to him; and he undertook the task of cutting for one himself. In making the incision for that purpose he cut into a vein, which he was unaware of, and, after slightly bandag ing it, laid himself down upon the bed, imagining that the hemorrhage would shortly cease; and in this state his wife left him to manage her ordinary concerns in a room below. The blood, however, continued to flow so profusc!y as in a short time to drop through the ceiling, and then it was that his wife awoke to all the terrors of the moment, She ran up stairs, and a medical gentleman was immediately sent for; but, alas! the poor fellow was in the last stage of exhaustion, and he ehortly breathed his last. He was interred en Tues day, and was borne and followed to the grave by his fellow pensioners, members of the Royal Veteran Society.—Man chester Guardian. INGENIOUS CALCULATION.—In one of the spinning and power-loom establishments in Bury, there are 1,1-10 looms at work. •'fin intelligent book keeper employed at these works has made the following curious calculation, viz.:—The shut tle of each loom, in traverstig through the shed formed by the warp, passes over a space of 4 feet 6 inches at least; some more, but none less than that. Whilst at work, the shuttle is thrown 100 times per minute, o► 27,000 feet per hour. The looms are in operation twelve hours per day, consequently each shuttle traverses 324,000 feet, or 61 miles 640 yards in one day. Amongst so many looms, there will be always some standing, from various causes; allowing, then, 140 out of the 1,140 to he the average number standing, and assuming that 1,060 are kept constantly going for twelve hours each day, these shuttles will travel 61,363 miles and 1,120 yards each day, or through a-space almost equal to 21 times the circumference of the earth, in the short period of twelve hours ! Wigan Gazette. SINGULAR ADVE.ITC;RE OF FOUR Boys.—ln that well known and often-visited Middleton Dale, where the towering rocks stand in such majestic grandeur, capped with forest trees and mantling ivy, the threatening . attitude of which has often struck with the subliwest admiration and awe the mind of the idle wanderer, the careless pedestrian, and the tasteful and inquiring tourist—amidst the crags which surround the base of one of these stupendous rocks is a narrow creek, which leads through a long and rugged subterraneous pas sage into a cavern called'" The Wonder," but which, owing to its dangerous and rugged path, is not often visited but by the most enterprising and curious, and the most daring chil dren of the High Peakers. Four boys of the latter descrip tion, from the village of Evam, about the age of 11 years, ambitious to explore the secret cavern and narrow windings of " The Wonder," a few days ago provided themselves with a candle, and immediately after. dinner proceeded to carry their purpose into effect. Various are the reports as to the lengths of this cavern • some asserting that it extends for several miles under the neighbouring hills. It is not often explored further than about 300 or 400 yards; to which point it appears our youthful s•abterraneous travellers extended their rout, when, unfortunately for them, a drop of water from the top of the rock extinguished their light, and left them in total darkness in the gloomy cavern. Night came ou, and their parents began to be uneasy about their absence, and not returning home when darkness began to cover the earth, immediate search was made for them, and every in quiry among their playfellows; when it happened that they found one to whom it appears this scheme of exploring "The Wonder" had been communicated Provided with lights and mining clothes, two men immediately started at midnight to seek for them, when at the extremity of the cavern they found the little daring creatures fast asleep, with their clothes torn, scratched, bruised, and bleeding from the wounds they had received in their attempts to make their way out in darkness. From their own account it appears, that after the light was extinguished, they made several at tempts to find their way back in vain; after which they.knelt down and repeated their prayers, and then tried again, with out any greater success. They then prayed again and again, and each time attempted in vain to get back, till exhausted and wounded by falling over the rugged pieces of rock which line the windings of the cavern, and terrified by their awful situation, they sank into sleep, in which state they were found.—Sheifield Iris. MOCK PIANO-FpßTES.—Among the ingennities of modern trade is the practice of constructing piano-fortes in a showy and, indeed, elegant style, so as to appear, as far as the ex terior is concerned, equal to the best and most costly manu factured by respectable makers. An assumed name flou rishes on the instruments; these are advertised and sold for half the accustomed price. That, however, invariably hap pens, which might be expected ; the instrument, being made of imperfect wire and materials and of unseasoned wood, soon warps, and, of course, renders tuning impracticable, and thus the whole affair, with its fine French polished rose wood veneer and stylish silk drapery, is found to be of no more value than When its component . parts are converted into a travelling case or a lady's work -b ox. A number of pianos of this description have been sent out to South Ame rica, and found, on their arrival, to be of no other service The proper security that of using . than, after taking out their i t ,e ol , security against this parlour cupboards! purchase them as mis chievous disappointment is 7 1 1 be . sure not houses which, having a reputation only from those We have reason to think — o t to risk it by an imposition on those who a confide London on p ti a rie e' d .. to instruments intended for exportation, :hat, in many of our . principal towns, the system hast, been c but "up to the thing r'---.. a lady carried on of advertising piano-fortes in the way most likely o e not further use for her piano, purchase - 4 going ing attract abroad, thos h e a w v i h e o g only a few months ago, selected by an eminent professor," &c.,—referees are ready prepared for the suspicious, and so the gulls are caught. We hope, the hook being a little ex posed, the bait will not take so easily as it has done.—Ereter Flying Post.—[We suspect the trick is often tried in this town. We have frequently seen very suspiciouslooking advertisements on the subject in the advertising columns of our Liverpool contewporaries.—.E.L,S.] Lord Mostyn has arrived at Penv ern, St. A saph, from Holywell, where his lordship will entertain a party of sport ing friends in the ensuing month. FIRST ENGLISH STEAM-VESSELS.—The following notice appeared in the Oracle daily newspaper, December 1789 : "There bas been lately laid before the Admiralty board, the model of a ship, worked by steam, which is so constructed as to sail against wind and tide. This ingenuity is to be re warded by a patent." CORNISH HERON.—One of these rare and beautiful birds was shot on Monday evening last, near Bordeaux, on the margin of a pool where it was enjoying its evening's repast. Its plumage is particularly beautiful, and the size of the bird is truly majestic. From the point of the bill to the feet, it measures four feet six inches; and the extent of the wings is six feet. —West Briton. PLEASING DISCOVERY.—On Thursday last, as Mr. Fen ton, auctioneer, of Kendal, was disposing of the effects of a man (deceased), of the name of Fletcher, who lived'inNew street, he put up to sale an old knapsack, which Fletcher had used in his campaigns as a soldier. Ha ppening to open it to ascertain what it contained, the auctioneer discovered, in the midst of much rubbish, a sovereign ; a second soon made its appearance; and upon a more accurate search, two checks, upon Messrs. Crewdsun's Bank, for the suns of £6lO, were brought out. The relatives, who live at Penrith, were aware that the man, though living in a state of much poverty, was possessed of property, hut had not been able to find the necessary authentication. It is not supposed that they would have lost this windfall, if the acknowledgment of the bankers had not been found; but it will be readily imagined, that the circumstance relieved them from no slight uneasiness. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—A short time ago, Mr. Whitlow, of Crowley. near Great Budworth, Cheshire, sent a team of four good horses, under the care of two servants, to harrow one of his fields. They were attached to very •large harrows, wills spikes nine inches long projecting front the frame. After working some time, one of the horses, a fine young colt, became restive; and, to the carelessness or the driver, it turned shrift round, the other horses after it, which caused the harrows to tit:set. 'the spikes then turning upwards,.and upon theta the first horse fell, and dragged the other three horses down after it; thus all the four animals were impaled upon the spikes of the barrows, kicking furiously from the agony they endured. In this state they remained for nearly hull. an hour before they could be .re !eased, which was oaly done by app!ing levers under each of them. The lungs of one of the horses were perforated, and they were all seriously injured; but, ()win , to the skill and attention of the veterinary surgeon, Mr. Lewis, of Bud worth,,thev have all recovered, and arc again in working con dition.—Maccielfidd Cuurier. • RAILWAY SIGNAL.—We have recently had an opportu nity of inspecting a railway signal erected at the Grand Junction station, Birmingham, which, from its great sim plicity, and the unerring certainty with which it conveys the requisite information, as to the state of the points, to the drivers of locomotive engines, both by night and day, ap pears to lie an invention highly important, not only to the proprietors of railroads, but to the public generally, as it will greatly tend to prevent those accidents which have occa sionally occurred in consequence of the points (or shunts, as they are called) being left in a wrong position. The inven , tion consists of two discs, about two feet in diameter, placed at right angles, surmounted by a lantern showing four lights, but of three distinct colours—namely, two red, one blue, and one white; the discs are painted•to correspond. This ap paratus is firmly attached to the top of the eccentric shaft employed in movinr , the points, and consequently turns with it with unerring certainty, r and can be seen et a great dis tance, affording the enginemen or drivels ample time to govern the trains according to circumstances.—Birmingham Herald. EXTRAORDINARY WHEAT.—A field belonging to Mr. John Surridg,e, of Sampford Peverel, containing three acres of the finest wheat ever remembered to have been grown in that parisb, or for many parishes adjoining, was cut during the past week. It was supposed by competent judges, that it would realize full 50 bushels per acre. The corns have been counted from 12040 140 in one ear, and in many ears the corns have run six in a Chace. We have seen a quantity of the ears ' and counted them. This splendid wheat is named the radical wheat. COBLENTZ, AUG. 27.—1 n the lodging-house of Reus, in this city, a man-servant has found a pocket-book, containing bank notes and bills of exchange to the value of no less than three hundred and six thousand dollars! The bills are drawn from New York on the chief cities of Europe.. It is nut knoun which way the traveller is gone.who has left this treasure behind him. The room which he occupied was al ready taken possession of after his departure by another lodger. It may be supposed that the treasure is deposited in a place of safety.—Dutek Papers, Sept. 1. • WILD CATS.-Mr. Cahill, of Whiskey Hall, shot on Thursday, at Cragg Wood, in this county, three wild cats of monstrous size. These strange animals attacked the wood ranger a few days ago, who narrowly escaped with his life; so disfigured were his features ' and so completely exhausted was he, that his family did not for a considerable time recog nise him on being brought home. Mr. Cahill, on hearing the above, came from his residence to rid the neighbourhood of the cause of so much terror and alarm. In size these wild cats were much larger than any terrier.—Limerick Chronicle. A report has found its way to the papers, to the effect that the Board of Woods and Works had commenced certain alterations in Kensington Palace, preparatory to her majes ty's making it her residence. As far as regards her majesty's alleged intention, there is.not a particle of truth in this state ment; the plain fact being, that part of the palace is falling down ; that the Princess Sophia has been obliged to lake up her residence in an adjoining house, and that, if anything be done in the way of repairs, it will be to fit the palace for the reception of her royal highness, its former tenant.—Observer. At the sale of the materials of the Old Royal Exchange, the statues of the kings and queens that were placed round the interior of the old building, and which were included in the catalogue, seemed to excite considerable interest, though sadly broken and mutilated. Queen Anne fetched £lO 55.; George 11. £9 55.; George 111. and Elizabeth, £ll 15s. each; Charles 11. £9 ; and the others, sixteen in number, similar sums. The portico entrance next Corn Hill sold for £275 ; and the sale altogether produced about £1.700. THE RAILWAY DELTA IN LANCASHIRE.—The completion of the Manchester and Bolton _Railway has enclosed a con siderable tract of country with a triangular boundary of rail way lines; of which the base is formed by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway line front its terminus in this town to the Kenyon junction, being a distative of rather more than ten miles. The left or westerly side of the triangle is formed by the Kenyon and Leigh junction jive, of which the termi nus at Belton forms one side of the apex ; this line is proba bly about ten miles in length. The Manchester and Bolton Railway forms the right or easterly side of the triangle, and is somewhat the shortest side ; its termini are Sali"ord and Bolton. Besides connecting the towns of Bolton and Leigh with Manchester and Salford, this delta includesthe townships of Pendleton, Pendlehurv, Monton WorsleY, Little Haugh ton, Clifton, the three Hultons, kersley, Panworth, Great Lever, Shakerley, Atherton, Tidsley, Astley, and Penning ton. iThe Duke of Bridgewater's canal enters it at Patricroft, and Quits the delta at Leigh. The delta includes a portion of Chat Moss, probably about four miles iu and of breadth vary from a mile to a quarter of a mile. The prin cipal stream in this tract is the Glazehrook, and the eastern boundary line is skirted the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury canal. Perhaps no district in the world of simil•tr size is equally favoured iu the means of both land or water com munication than this little delta, which, once the scene of the triumphs of a Brindley, and the bite of one of the earliest canals in England, is now girt and environed with an iron zone, enabling it, like the fabled belt of the fairy tale, to transport its treasures (mineral, manufacturing, and agri cultural,) in a space of time hitherto inconceivably rarid, to the most distant parts of the kingdom.—Manchester Guar• dian. New LAW IN AMERICA, REGARDING STEAM NAVIGA TIoN —The American legislature has passed an act, which has just come into operation, for the purpose of preventing the recurrence of such shocking catastrophes as have long dis graced their system of steamboat navigation. Its particulars may not he without interest in this country. The act directs —l. , A fresh enrolment of steam-boats. '2. Imposes a penalty of.five hundred dollars for navigating them without a license. 3. Appoints inspectors on all - the navigable waters. 4. Di rects the inspectors to examine and report on boats, and to give certificates of their sufficiency. 5. Directs duplicate re ports:of allparticulars of the vessel and machinery to be made, one to be posted up in the vessel. 6. Directs licenses to be renewed every twelve months, under penalty of live hundred dollars, and efficient crews to be kept on board. 7. Directs, under penalty of two hundred dollars, that, whenever the en gine is stopped, the safety valve shall be liberated to keep down the steam below the certified strength of the boilers. 8. Directs boats of certain specified proportions, under a like penalty, to be kept on board each vessel. 9. Directs, under penalty of three hundred dollars, fire-engine and leather hose to he kept on hoard each vessel, and iron chains to be used instead of tiller ropes. 10. Directs, under penalty, signal lights to be hoisted at night, when under way. 11. Gives ju risdiction to courts. N. Declares fatal negligence 01. m iscoa duet to be manslaughter, punishable with ten years' imprison ment and bard labour. 13.—Declares that, in all actions for injuries for bursting or collapse, it shall be sufficient for plain tiff to prove the fact of the cause of the loss, and the onus of provin , ' , it not to have been the result of negligence shall rest or.thedefendant. COLONIAL SHIPPING.—The number of vessels built and registered in all our colonies, according to the parliamentary paper 724, just published, in 1814 was 131, bearing a tonnage of 16,696. From that time to the present, with considerable oscillations, however, the number of vessels built has con tinually increased; and in 1837 it amounted to 496, having a tonnage of 70,878. Both 1825 and 18'26, however, surpassed 1837. In the former year the number of vessels built was 536, and their tonnage 80,595; iu the latter, 580, and then• tonnage 85,554; adding to the many proofs of the extraor dinary spring made in all branches of industry in those cele brated years of speculation. On the a hole, however, it is extremely gratifying, remembering the periodical wa.ilings of distress made by our colonists and shipowners, tofind such conclusive testimony to their prosperity, and to the ever-in creasing maritime strength and power of our empiae. ROBBERY OF A BANKER'S PARCEL—PURSUIT ANT) AP PREHENSION OF THE THIEF.-011 Tuesday the 14th instant, Mr. Richards, of the house of Messrs. Wilkins, of Carmar then, bankers, sent a parcel, containing 300 sovereigns, and a letter of advice, to Mr. Morgan Williams, of Llanelly, by Joseph Phillips, a post-boy belonging to the Ship and Castle Inn, at Llanellv, with which it appears Phillips immediately absconded. The non-appearance of either the money or the post-boy at once suggested itself to Mr. Morgan Williams that a screw was loose, and he wisely set. off instanter in pur suit of the depredator. With unwearied diligence and energy Mr. Williams traced the culprit to Swansea, following close upon his heels from thence to Ilfracombe, and back again to Swansea, and then to Bristol, at which place he ran the cun ning fox to earth on board an Irish steamer hound for Water ford, j ust on the point of sailing. Mr. Si, \Villiams returned to Ll anelly with his prisoner, who was duly lodged in our county prison last night, with the warrant of Win. Chambers, Esq. to take his trial for the offence; and it gives us great pleasure to add, that the gold was untouched, being found in its original package in the carpet bag of the delinquent. Very great praise indeed is due to Mr. Morgan Williams, for the activity and intelligence displayed by him is the affair.— Welshman. •RAILWAY PRONI NEWCASTLE TO EDINBURGH.—A NEW LINE PROJECTED.—The project of a railway from Newcastle to Edinburgh, by way of Wooler and the midland districts of the Tweed, is seriously in contemplation, add an explanatory survey of the line is now proceeding through Northumberland, but particularly between the rivers Wansbeck and Coquet, the latter of which is the most difficult to pass, as it is a point that requires considerable elevation; in order to meet the more elevated parts north of it, viz. 'hillside Moor. Four different lines are in course of survey between those two rivers—two east and two west of the great north roads; the westernmost, where the great difficulties were supposed to exist, has been carried as far as Wooler, &c. The greatest inclination will not exceed 25 feet per mile, or 1 in 211 ; a tunnel is unavoid able through 'hillside Moor, about two miles in length. The greatest depth of cutting will not exceed 70 feet, and the great est height of embankment (the valley of the Aln) 100 feet; lengththe ext r eme the lengtvi aducth of over thethese feet, and its height 148 feet—that is, immediately over the two o rin p s l h a e c c e k s isis 31010 chains, or 1 : The o bed of the river (the 'width of which is 70 feet;) and the via duct over the Coquet is 60 chains, or 3,960 feet, and the ad l height 180 feet over the bed of the river (the width of which is 60 feet.)

HEALTH OF LORD DERBY. A report has been current during the day, that Lord Derby, whose health is at present rather precarious, was no more. We have made diligent inquiries as to the source of the rumour, which we have traced to its fountain head, and we are truly happy to say that it is one on which no dependence can be placed ; and that so far is it from the truth, that his lordship's physician left him yesterday afternoon, at four- o'clock, much better, with instructions that, if any appe:.rances of , his lordship's getting worse should be exhibited, an express should be sent off to him immediately. No such express was sent off, and there is every reason to hope that the report is entirely without foundation. It is astonishing how a rumour spreads, however insig nificant and unworthy of credit its origin. It is like the expanding an d spreading . circles from a pebble thrown into a stream : emending wider and Ivider from its little centre. LIVERPOOL MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7. The supply of foreign Wheat is moderate, but we have very small arrivals of other Grain or Flour reported since Tuesday. Within the past few days the trade remained in a rather ina nimate state, but with a return of wet weather yesterday, and its continuance during the greater part of this day, holders of Wheat have. shown more firmness, awl the millers being mostly light in Stock, this morning's market was well at• tended, and a fair amount of business was transacted, chiefly in Foreign samples of this grain, which in general required some advance upon the depressed currency of Tues day, and in some instances an improvement of 3d per 70lbs. was realised, with but a limited show offering for sale: Bri tish Wheats were beld at former prices, though without finding buyers beyond a very moderate extent.—Flour was more saleable at the rates last quoted. In Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, no change worth notice has occurred. Oats, upon a somewhat improved demand, have partially recovered the late decline, particularly the middling qualities, which had suffered a more than pro portionate depression; and for Oatmeal, an advduce . of Is. per sack on Tuesday's rates was paid.

AN IRISH BLUNDER.—The Limerick Chronicle, in one of its late numbers, announces " that the Countess of Essex's nieces, the Messrs. Smith, are performing at Liverpool." IMPRISONMENT Fon DEBT.—In all cases where the debt is under £2O, the law remains jtist as it was—viz , you have to serve a process in the first instarkce, and that to proceed to jugdment ; upon which judgement you can arrest the person of you debtor, or seize his property. Where the debt is above £2O, and you might have been desirous of arresting yonr debtor in the first instance, by merely making oath to the bebt (which is called mesne process) the new law de prives- you of any such power; you must, as in ,the before mentioned case, serve your debtor with a process, which will ripen to execution, and upon that execution you may take the effects of the defendant; and if the effects are not sufficient, you may take his - person. So that, in truth, the only alteration which the present statute makes is by enact ing that no action shall be commenced by writ of arrest, but it shall be by summons or notice. The practical working will be simply this—Heretofore the arrest of a debtor was resorted to as an experiment to compel him to pay you, or to give you security, and which, no doubt, in many cases had the direct effect. Now, you cannot bring this experiment to bear until you have gone through certain proceedings; nor until . you have incurred some delay and some expense in arriving at judgment. These tac) latter considerations will make it necessary to use some greater caution as to whom you will give credit to; and as against whom you will pot the law in force. There are certainly in the bill increased powers against the landed property and the funded property of your debtor, if you can find, and you may also campet a man who owes you £lOO to become a bankrupt after 21 days, so that he surrender his property equally between you and the rest of the creditors. —A Correspondent of the Times. SECOND EDITION. SELECT EXTRACTS. The study of truth is perpetually joined with the love of virtue; for there is no virtue which derives not its original from truth ; as, on the contrary, there is no vice which has not its beginning in a lie. Truth is the foundation of all knowledge, and the cement of all societies.—Castierba. THE EA avvic.—The great dread of the ear-wig entering the ear is a popular error, whence, indeed, the animal derives its trivial name. Like many other insects, it enters any cavity in search of food or shelter; and it may, like them, enter the human ear as well as any other hole or hollow, but that it has a special predilection for that situation is a mistaken notion respecting the habits of the Forticula.—Notes on Nets, by the Hon. and Rev. C. Bathurst. OPIUM VENDERS OF CONSTANTINOPLE.—TaIking of drink ing and dramming puts me in mind of the opium -eaters, on a number of whom the sultan played a capital trick some time back. He was passing through a quarter of the city where they sold the noxious drug, and the thought struck him that, as the father of his people, he was bound to put a - stop to so pernicious a practice; so, without mole ado, he pulled down all the shops, over the site of which I have several times had the honour of walking, and sent every single soul he found in them to the madhouse, which happens to be close by; and there they remained with iron collars round their necks and chained to the walls fOr two or three months, at the 'end of which time his sublime highness let them out on their solemn promise never to go mad any more.—Capt. Rose's Three Months' Leave. BEGGARS IN LONDON.—Of the number of beggars to be met with in the streets of London, it is computed that nine out of ten are gross impostors, who have probably been com mitted repeatedly to the house of correction as vagrants; and of these the very worst are the blind and cripples. The records of that valuable institution, the Society for the Sup pression of Mendicity, afford surprising proofs of the profli gacy of the regular street be ggars . an d the inveteracy of t heir idle and dishonest habits. Mr. Knivet, the secretary of the society, mentions two cases, one of a girl who has been from twenty to thirty times in prison within the last six years, and another of a boy who has been as often as twenty times im prisoned within three years. It appears by a return from the commissioners of police, that in the year 1837, 4,287 beggars were apprehended by the police, and taken before the magis trates. Of these, 2,508 were immediately discharged, and 1,779 were convicted and sentenced to various terms of im prisonment.—Report o} 'the Metropolitan Police Committee.. RIO DE Jsrsaino.—The number. of persons I met in full dress—black coats, black satin breeches, silk stockings, gold knee and shoe buckles, opera hats, gild headed canes, and ponderous gold seals—led me to think there must be a great many dinner-parties going forward. I was mistaken; for as I went into a shop to buy a pair of gloves, the man-milliner who served rue was precisely thus attired. A little further on, I saw a whole group of men in similar costume, sitting at a sh Op-door, smoking' cigars, and drinking lemonade. This seemed odd ; but what was in4surprise. as 1 proceeded, to see two negroes meet each 'other, dress e d i n t a tt ere d a nd ragged coats, waistcoats, knee-breeches, and opera-hats, but without shoes or stockings . They .stood bowing the one to the other, hat in hand, and in polite .contention as to which should tie covered first. They at length seemed to agree that they should return their hats to their heads simultaneously, so that one should ner have precedence of the other. A snuff-box was then pulled by each from his respective girdle, with half a deeen bows, a pinch of snuff was exchanged ; and very cere monious inquiries were mutually made about their respective senhoras, or ladies. The hats were again taken off, and low ered to the ground; and after an amicable struggle as to which should take the wall, these curious specimens of Bra• zilian politeness and etiquette walked on their several wars. —Robertson's Letters on Paraguay. AUSTRALIAN WINE.—Had New South Wales been the colony of a vine-growing country, wine and fruit would have been, years ago, among the staple articles of our export; while at present not above 1,000 gallons of tolerable wine are annually produced in the colony. The climate is dry and wenn; none in the world can be more genial to the growth . of the vine, or more favourable to the production of that juice which 'so gladdens the heart of man. This soil is as various `as that of Europe, from the most barren to the most produc tive. Here we have the debris of the primitive granite, the feitile soil resulting from the decom position of volcanic trap extensive tracks of lime, unmeasured extents of drift land, proceeding from the decomposition of sandstone, equally ex-, tensive portions of country consisting chiefly of alumina, and rich alluvial recent deposits, which to a great extent occur on the banks of our rivers; . in short, we have s o ils in alm os t every possible variety, which influence the quality of the wine to a greater extent than is generally supposed. We may, therefore expect to produce wines of equally various qualities. Some may have the roughness of port, some the aroma of Burgundy, others the lusciousness of Cyprus or Syracuse, others may partake of the dryness of Amontillado, or the endurance and flavour - of Hock, or the sweetness of Lacryma Christi: in short, we may produce every possible variety resembling the wines of Europe, from the weak nor thern products of the Rhine, to the rich generous wines of the south. The demoralising influence and the disorganising tendency of spirits, as a beverage, are ever before us, both by precept and example; and no town in the world exhibits more vivid living examples of the dire consequences of its use, than the streets of Sydney. A check has been proposed, however, to the progress •of this ruinous vice, by some tempe rate and philanthropic men, who have mutually agreed to abandon the common use of the product of the still for that ' of the press; and associations exist here, as in many other , countries, of which the members meet periodically for the purpose of drinking wine as a solemn religious duty. Books on the culture of the vine are already in the handS of the colonists, whereby that, and the process of making wine (from the use of which such evils are less apt to flow,) are shown to be exceedingly simple and grape vines imported by Mr. Bushbv, from which the most esteemed wines of France are produced, are now growing in the colony, and, Cuttings of them may be bad gratis at the Government Gar dens. Under these circumstances, it is wonderful how very little the culture of that useful plant, with a view to its vinous product, has hitherto been attended to in this country. Per haps the inferior quality of the product of the vineyards at the Cape of Good Hope deters many from attempting the culture of the grapes here ; but that ought to be no reason, when it is known that the greater part of the .wines already grown in the colony, are far superior to the generality of those of the Cape. THE RED MOON.—It is believed generally, especially in the neighbourhood of Paris, that, in certain months of the year, the moon exerts a great influence upon the phenomena of vegetation. Gardeners give the name of the " red moon" to that moon which is full between the middle of Arsril and the close of May. According to them, 'the light of the moon at that season exercises an injurious influence upon the young shoots of plants. They say that when the sky is clear, the leaves and buds exposed in the atmosphere stands at many degrees above the freezing point. They say, also, that if a clouded sky intercept the moonn's light, it prevents these injurious circumstances to the plants, although the circumstances of temperature are the same in both cases. Any person who is acquainted with the beautiful theory of dew, which we owe to Dr. Wells, will find no difficulty in accounting for these effects, erroneously imputed to the moon. If the heavens be clear and unclouded; all substances on the surface of the earth which are strong and powerful radiators of heat, lose temperature by radiation, while the unclouded sky returns no heat to them to restore what they have lost. Such bodies, therefore, under these circumstances, become colder than the surrounding air, and may even, if they be liquid, be frozen. Ice, in fact, is produced in warm climates, by similar means. But if the firmament be enve loped in clouds, these clouds, having the quality of radiating heat, will restore by their radiation to substances upon the surface of the earth, as much heat as such substances them selves lose by radiation : the temperature, therefore, of such bodies will be maintained at a point equal to that of the air surrounding them. Now the leaves and flowers of plants are strong and powerful radiators of heat ; when the sky is clear, they therefore lose temperature, and may be frozen; if, on the other hand, the sky be clouded, their temperature is maintained, for the reasons above stated. The moon, there fore, has no connection whatever with this effect; and it is certain that plants would suffer under the same circumstances, whether the moon is above or below the horizon. It equally is quite true that, if the moon is above the horizon, the plants cannot suffer unless it be visible; because a clear sky is in dispensable, as much to the production of the injury to the plants as to the visibility of the moon ; and, on the other hand, the same clouds which veil the moon, and intercept her light, give back to the plants that warmth which•prevents the injury here-adverted to. The popular opinion, therefore, is right as to the effect, but wrong as to. the cause.; and. its error will be at once discovered, by showing that, on a clear .night, when the moon is new, and, therefore, not visible, the pants may nevertheless suffer.--Monthly Chronicle, ipptn Entclitarntr.

Ist quality, 90s to 925; Banbridge 82s to 883; Newry 81s to 86s ; Kilkenny 92s ; Carlow 86s to 925. As we ap proach the new curing season. Beef and Pork may possibly be pur chased upon easier terms, which, however, in the Mean time, are extravagantly high. Prime Beef 115 s to 120 s ; Middling, &c. 100 s to 107 s 6d per tierce.—Pork 7.3 s to 84s per barrel, as in quality.— Bacon recovers ; there being a fair demand at 52s fur prime Belfast meat.—llams are scarce and realize long prices. It is possible that we may, by and bye, be induced to offer some remarks connected with trade in Foreign Beef, Pork, and Butter ; —and will be able to show, that if Hamburgh. Copenhagen, and other continental ports are permitted to monopolize—as they Ti t , tually do—the trade with our Colonies; the cure of Provisions in Ireland will be most materially injured, if not totally destroyed. Would it not ,be practical " justice for Ireland," if some of our frothy and declaiming legislators would turn their attention to this matter, so as to prevent the total destruction of an important por tion of the staple trade of our sister country. We apprehend, however, that they are " Vox et preterca nibil." LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, SEPT. The number of Beasts at market to-day, has been much the same as last week, but the quality has been generally inferior, saving a very few which were sold at rather advanced prices, from the scarcity of good Beasts. We have had a tolerably good ,supply of Sheep, and of very good quality ; but Lambs are now growing scarce, the season being nearly over. . Good Beef sold readily at 0d varying at that down to sd, according to quality. The best 'ether Mutton sold briskly at from 6id to 7d ; middling 61d ; with a few of ordinaiy qualiry, and Ewes, at . 6cl per lb. Lambs may be quoted about 61d per lb. The market, upon the whole, has been rather a heavy one, more especially for Beef, the quality being un usually inferior. Number of - Beasts, 142 9 ; Sheep and Lambs, 8105. PRICES or TINIBER.

With the exception of Ziesdny and Saturday last, on the after noon of which days we WA very heavy rain, the weather during the past week has been upon the whole favourable for the progress of harvest, now partbrily commencing, but it has been too cold in the nights and mornings for the growing Wheat, a great portion of which throughout this district is still far from ripeness --the im ports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland and 'Coastwise continue to he very small, and although our stock of free Grain is in the smallest compass, and have hitherto been very little aisisted by those in bond, our millers and dealers have been purchasers in the most limited and cautious manner, only for their immediate wants ; and in the almost certain prospect of the release of all Fo reign Wheat and Flour next week, a.deeline of 9d to 13 per 7011) has been submitted to on all English and Irish Wheat, and though the chief holders of Wheat in bond decline offering it until frs.e, purchases might he made thereof at a decline of 3d to 6d per 7011% —Oats and Oatmeal very dull and lower, the former 2d per 451 b, the latter 3s to 4s per 9401 b, and Flour 4s to 5s per 28011); Malt, Bar ley, Beans arid Pease likewise Is to 2s per qr. lower here, and in the London and Yorkshire markets, and in those all around us of the past week. The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports is this week decreased 4s per qr, on Flour 2s 5d per hrl, on Barley, Indian Corn, Buck Wiplit, Rye and Beans is 6d per qr ; and on Pease is 3d per qr, and on Friday next, the 7th instant, a further similar decline will occur in the duties on Wheat and Flour, and it is very probable that even the lowest duty of Is per gr. may then be pay able ; a weekly average of 74s 70 with the fractions,'will produce an aggregate of 735, and a duty of is ; and unless the weekly re turn be below CBs 7d, with the fractions, the aggregate must be 725, and the duty 2s 8d per qr on Wheat ;—in either event all Foreign Wheat and Flour now in bond may then be considered as free, and in the immediate prospect thereof—depending also on the weather at this most critical period, the fluctuations which may occur for some weeks cannot be confidently anticipated, The supplies of the week were considerably increased yesterday by arrivals of Wheat (chiefly Foreign) from London, and at this day's market, which was very well attended by town and country millers and dealers, sales of Foreign Wheat to be delivered free on Friday next, were of to a fair extent—the finest fresh white at 9s 9d to lOs 60 per 7011:.—A little new Irish Wheat and Oats very soft and middling quality appeared, but not sufficient to enable us to judge of the general quality.—For Oats, Flour and Oatmeal am.? every other article in the Corn trade there was very little demand, though folly the decline above-noted was submitted to. Bonded Wheat and Flour we consider free, and now quote them nominally ; Oats in bond the prices are the same as free less the duty ; the weather is now very fine and seasonable, with an appearance of so con tinuing.
