Why is not its requiem sung now in full chorus ? True, we do occasionally hear a little squeak from some pun organ, but the voice is a very small one, and its tone is of the dismalest. It is manifest that the doleful ditty is sung from the wrong side of the mouth. It is the song not of the dying swan, but of the expiring goose, roasted after the manner of our ancestors. Protection dead ! umberland, and Kent, and Essex, and the Isle of Wight, and Norfolk, and Oxfordshire, and Berkshire, and Cambridgeshire give the lie in the throat to such asser tion ; and the unhappy Sir GEORGE GREY, with the rejected squad of cosmopolitan humbugs and universal peace theorists, who have been ignominiously " sacked," are forced to swallow the lie with what philosophy they may command. It is Whig-Radicalism and Manchester millocracy that is dead and hearsed in earth, and over which the great majority of the House of Commons will chant the De Profundis on its assembling in October next. So the first assault against Ministers is to be led either by Sir JAMES GRAHAM or Mr. JOHN ARTHUR ROEBUCK, or both. What a precious pair to lead a forlorn hope!— Arcades anzbi Et cantare pares, et respondere parati What a patriotic, pure, and disinterested fight it will be, under such condottieri—the border free lance, the merce nary beau sabreur Sir JRAMES, and the galvanised mummy, the " shrivelled adder," with the venomous tingue. that spits on friend and foe alike, JOHN ARTHUR.

MONDAY NIGHT. THE question has frequently been asked, what has been the destination of the large amount of specie obtained by the people of the United States from the mines of California, as it has not mate rially accumulated in the banks ? The New York Herald, received per the last mail, states that they have received at least 120,000,000 dollars of gold dust from the mines since their discovery, of which 60,000,000 have been exported ; yet, whereas in 1848 the amount of specie held in the banks was 46,361,765 dollars, on the Ist of January this year the amount had only increased to 50,000,000 dollars. Obviously, therefore, the hulk of the sixty millions of gold left in the country must be circulating in the shape of coin, giving activity, and, at the same time, security, to the ope rations of industry of trade. In addition to this increase of gold and silver coin, the paper circula tion of the United States, which, like our own, is based upon specie, has increased from 128,500,000 dollars in 1848 to 175,000,000 dollars in 1552, which two circumstances fully account for the rapid progress which America is making with a cheap and abundant supply of money. The same view of the question may account for occasional singular features in our banking system in this country. For example, we have this week a reduction of a quarter of a million sterling in the specia in the Bank of England. Yet we can discover no export to have taken place sufficient to account for so large a decrease. We suspect that it has gone in employment in the country to supply the requirements of an expanding trade. More hands employed, more travelling, more transactions of a retail character, demand more money—change ; and all these causes have been in operation during the past three or four weeks. We regard the falling off in the stock at present, therefore, as a favourable symptom rather than otherwise. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 17th July gives the following re sults when compared with the previous week : Public deposits Other deposits Rest .. £3,077,870; Decrease £830,608 14,715,088; Decrease 714,494 3,190,478; Increase 30,565 On the other side of the account — Government securities £13,979,616 ; Decrease 144,930 Other securities.. .. 10,671,902 ; Decrease 735,558 Notes unemployed .. 11,911,375 ; Decrease 587,635 The amount of notes in circulation is £23,747,735, being an increase of £367,980; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £21,933,678, show ing a decrease of £243,460 when compared with the preceding return. In our Share Market this week we have had a very decided change. The apprehension on the part of some of a heavy bull account at the approach ing settlement; the machinations of the bears, and some heavy speculative sales, have, together, caused a considerable fall, with frequent and violent fluc tuations. Throughout the week there has been a to 'depress each day. This morning we opened almost in a state of panic, an extremely wet day being added to the other influences. A very large quantity of stock has changed hands during the day ; we close, however, this evening perhaps a shade firmer, and with a somewhat more hopeful appearance. We annex the quotations :—Eastern Counties, 10 15-16 ; East Lancashire, 20; Lanca shire and Yorkshire, 831 1 Af,At; ditto fifths, 31d ; London stock, 131+ 30 1 + A-; ditto new quarters, 32 ; Mahon and Driffield, ; Midland stock, 76i IA-1 i r 1 5 ri 1 141; ditto new pref. 41, Ip.; Dover stock, 22+ 2 1* 2; York and North Midland, 26 5* 6 Royal Insurance, 13-16 p; Pacific Steam Company, 79. The transactions in most of our markets, up to Friday, exhibited considerable activity and confi dence, and proved that, the turmoil of the elections over, the commercial community anticipate a good business and advanced prices. Money being cheap and abundant, speculators and purchasers for con sumption are alike willing to buy freely. PRODUCE.-To-day, the demand for most des criptions of Produce is steady, although not exten sive. SUGAR continues in fair request. Among the sales since the publication of the Brokers' Cir cular, are 50 hhds. Jamaica at 355. 3d. to 365. 9d.; 200 hhds. Barbadoes chiefly at 32s to 395. 6d.; 100 hhds. Trinidad at 325. to 325. 6d.; a small parcel of Antigua, in barrels, at 335. 6d.; 1000 bags Bengal at 295.6 d. to 325.; 2000 bags Benares at 38s. to 38s. 6d. ; 1000 mats Mauritius, with all faults, at 325. 6d. to 375. 9d.; 2600 bags brown and yellow Pernams at 16s. 6d. to 17s. 6d.; and 20 cases Bahia at 16s. 6d. to 175., and 20 cases Bahia at 17s. to 21s. Nothing of moment done in MOLASSES ; but 130 puns. Demerara Ruii are reported at about previous rates. The sales of COFFEE are confined to 540 bags Laguayra at 545. per cwt. TEA is steady, at former prices. There are not any sales of RICE or SALTPETRE to report. To-day 1300 bags Bombay LINSEED, with all faults, were taken at 21s. 6d. to 40s. 6d. per qr. On Friday a parcel of Honduras LOGWOOD brought £4 7s. 6d per ton ; 400 bales GAMBIER, all faults, 17s. to 17s. 6d.; and 70 bags CUTCH 21s. 6d. to 225. per cwt. COTTON, — The demand for this article has greatly increased during the last few days. The sales are :therefore large, with a good inquiry on speculation and for export. We close this after noon with much animation, prices of American and Surat being Id. per lb. dearer than on Friday, making an advance, since tnis day weex, of pct. per mprirrtn, and on middling lb. on low middling A and good middling qualities. The sales of Friday, Saturday, and to-day are estimated at 47,000 bales, of which speculators took 13,000, exporters 5,000, and the trade 29,000. The import since Thursday is only 15,000 bales. BANKRUPTCY COURT, YESTERDAY.—There was not a singlo case for hearing before either of the commissioners. STATUE TO DR. JENNER.—An influential committee has been formed for the purpose of erecting a colossal bronze statue to the memory of the above distinguished individual, to be placed in a public situation in the me- tropolis. HER SERENE HIGHNESS THEPRINCESS OF HOHENLOE LANGENBOURG, accompanied by her son and daughter, a Prince and Princess of Hohenlohe, arrived in town on Saturday morning, from Calais. Her Serene Highness was received at the terminus of the South-eastern Rail way, London-bridge, by Sir George Couper, and con ducted to Clarence-house, St. James's. At half-past twelve o'clock, the Princess left town, attended by Sir George Couper, for Frogmore, on a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. A SHIP BURNT AT SEA.—On Saturday intelligence was received at Lloyd's, under date St. John's, Newfoundland, July 6, of the total destruction, by fire, of the British ship ReCiprecity, on the 28th of June, whilst on her passage from Mobile to Liverpool. The vessel was in lat. 46 when the calamity was discovered. Every effort was made to subdue the fire, but at length the flames burst through the hatches, and in a moment the ship was blazing from stem to stern. The mate and eight of the crew escaped in the jolly-boat, and after being exposed for three days, without food or water, were picked up by a fishing-vessel, and landed at St. John's. The fate of the master, and 17 other persons composing the rest of the crew and passen gers, is at present uncertain : there is reason, however, to hope that they may have been picked up by a schooner that was seen to bear down. The fire is attributed to the spontaneous combustion of the cotton cargo. OXINIPOTENCY, though it were but to destroy us, were justly the object of our dread and reverence ; but omnipo tency to save deserves our most affectionate esteem.

WE have again and again exposed the mendacious mis- representations made by the London pres:, —and by the Times in particular—of the way in which the business of emigration is conducted in this port. It has been held out that crimping and roguery were nowhere practised on a more extensive scale than in Liverpool, and that the most unseaworthy vessels are employed. Yet it is noto rious--and proved by thefact that Liverpool is the greatest emigration port in the kingdom—that thevessels employed hero are of the very first class, and the best officered in the world. The community, or at least that portion of it which reads the Liverpool Times, has been a little amused by an article quoted, innocently no doubt, by that paper, from Dickens's Household Words, which is the greatest libel upon the emigration trade that we ever perused, though happily innocuous from its absurdities. The article is headed " The Jeremy Diddler 'tween Decks:" and purports to be the report of some "friend of humanity," who has, apparently, accompanied an emigrant vessel a short distance on her voyage, and most probably been sea-sick from the time of leaving the " Puddle Dock," at which he embarked on his adventurous effort at penny-a-lining. The writer, evidently a Cockney, commences : " I made my way to the main-hatch, and began to descend the ladder. On deck there !' cried a voice be low, that seemed to come up from the farthest corner of a very deep cask. Ay, ay !' growled the sailor addressed, who was busily engaged in some mysterious operation with the long-boat. ' 'Where have you stowed your pa tent ventilators ?' inquired the voice from the cask, we're choking down here.' Oh,' rejoined the tar, as he winked at the cook's mate, Neptune will bring them there a-board when he visits us at the Line I' The com plaint was, indeed, well founded, as I felt on descending to the regions below, where I found the man with the casky voice. The complainant was a middle-aged person, a tailor or shoemaker, perhaps disguised as a naval cha racter according to the most approved fashion at the Surrey Theatre. It took me some minutes before I could distinguish the lights and shades of the living panorama moving in that long, half-obscure vault of a place. How changed since I saw it in the docks ! The uproar, the crowd, the handing about of packages and clothing, the dim indistinct light from the far distant fore-hatch, gave it the appearance of Rae Fair held in the Thames Tun nel for novelty's sake. There was small room for walk ing about. I had to clamber over all sorts of sharp cornered, hard-edged packages. Children were crying, women were chattering, men were grumbling and swear ing, and calling down the ugliest maledictions upon the heads of all the captains, chief-mates, brokers, and ship owners in the known world. On the whole, it was con fusing to a new corner, and not much plainer, apparently, to those who had been on board during the last twenty four hours. Had the captain poured the entire contents of the London Dock warehouse down an enormous fun nel into that particular 'tween decks, the chaos could scarcely have been aggravated. The staggering motion of the vessel set all landsmen's attempts to labour at com plete defiance. As for the women, they were content to seat themselves on anything that was nearest their cabins, and there contemplate the encompassing wilderness of property." • The " staggering motion of the vessel" must have con fused our poor Cockney's intellects, or he might have remembered that there is a government officer in every port, who takes especial care that ventilation is attended to in every emigrant vessel ; and if he may have been struck by the number of " sharp-cornered, hard-edged packages," which he met with in the course of his survey, it is in all probability owing to the circumstance that, in his own fittings from one " three pair back" to another, he has seldom been encumbered with anything more " sharp cornered" or " hard-edged" than his own two or three shirts tied up in a cotton handkerchief. Our scribe proceeds in the imaginative vein : " Passing forward to near the fore -hatchway, I came upon a scene of open war. One of the ship's officers was endeavouring to read a sort of impromptu riot-act to a party of cockney warriors who were doing all sorts of violent deeds in a dark smothered-up cabin, which was evidently in a state of determined siege. The lookers-on cried, " Shame ! turn them out !—where's the captain?" mingled with rather warm benedictions on the ship's broker, and the secretary of some emigration committee. The officer would have interfered, but the bystanders opposed him, and it ended in his disappearing on deck, and the siege of the darkened little cabin being raised. I learnt afterwards, when quiet was partly restored, that the fracas arose from the brokers having shipped more passengers than could be accommodated ; a dozen persons had been, two days before, removed from the ship by the emigration officers ; but in their place at least a score more had been sent on board, and where they were to find room was now the question. The captain had been trying to place two men in some single berths." This is, of course, sheer invention ; or at all events no such scenes occur in Liverpool, if they do in the emigrant ships sailing from London. Captain Patsy and his officers take especial good care that passengers have no " dark smothered-up cabins," and that no two men have occasion to quarrel, because they are attempted to be forced into single berths. The writer goes on:— " A great number of them had paid for their passages doom "lOr fsga in Artlerk W i gSFne Yhyik Daft .. se fe re w however, at the twelfth hour, these poor people were told that the brokers had demanded two pounds a-head more from the society, owing, it was stated, to the rise in sailors' wages ; and they accordingly found themselves called upon to make good the amount from their scanty purses." Such proceedings might, we repeat, take place in Lon don, though we doubt it ; but they certainly are unknown in Liverpool. What emigration society it can be which perpetrated an audacity so improbable as that described we are at a loss to conceive. Shortly after noticing the above, the writer states that the fore-hatch was put down, which " enclosed us all in utter darkness," and proceeds:— " The close, stifled atmosphere of the 'tween decks, breathed as it was by several hundred persons, soon became insupportable, and there was a general attack made upon the hatch, which, however, was too well secured above to allow of any success. The tide of indig nation vented itself upon the main-hatch, through which a party of a dozen passed to the captain with expostula tion as to the want of fresh air. After some delay, the fore-hatch was partially removed, and an old tat tered windsail was let down as a substitute for the patent ventilators. In spite of this relief,. the impurity and suffocating heat of the cabins became as insupport able as the exhalations from some Indian jungle-swamp ; and I could but picture to myself the sufferings of those people when approaching the equator." Whether the extracts we have given be correct or not, we are unable to decide, and leave the question to be decided between Mr. Dickens and the emigration officers in the port of London. Probably he will furnish them with the real name of the vessel of which " Jeremy Diddler" is the soubriquet. But that intending emigrants to Australia have no such atrocities to fear on the voyage from Liverpool, we shall show, by describing the arrange ments made for their comfort in a few of the vessels now loading here. But first we wust noticeanother paragraph, which we quote from the Globe, Evening Paper : " EMIGRATION SHIPS' DIETARY SCALES.—A young emigrant, in a letter. dated off Deal, says,—' Our first meal at sea for eleven was at least half bone, and as hard to cut as a cable. It was not only hard and dreadfully salt, but very bad. One of the passengers told me he saw the casks carefully covered over directly the inspector came on board at Gravesend. I myself saw some salt beef or horse quite green and stinking. A party of six has been served to-day to a pound-and-a-half of bone with one pound of sinew on it. The best of the dinner was potatoes and biscuit. It— could eat nothing else. This party are now talking to the captain, and I have no doubt if this is goes on we shall have some desperate work. There are enough mutinous fellows on board who will not quietly submit to this filthy offal for food, after they have paid their full price for passage-money. It is a piteous sight to see the poor children, who throw this stuff out of their plates.; and their wretched mothers unable to give them anything else except hard biscuit, which their little teeth are uncjiltk rnacatio.ta " If such practices prevail in London, we most strongly advise emigrants to make Liverpool their port of shipment. On the East side of Canning Dock a splendid ship, the Covenanter, owned by Mr. Duncan Gibb, is being fitted up for a voyage to Australia ; and a visit to her would well repay the trouble, and show the liberality of the arrangements for passengers made in Liverpool. The Covenanter is about 2,200 tons burthen, has lofty between decks, running uninterruptedly from stem to stern, 160 feet in length. Her beam is 34 feet inside measurement; and she will carry 450 passengers. She has a house on deck 50 feet long, and for 40 feet on each side of this an aperture 14 inches wide has been made, properly protected from the weather, by which abundance of air is intro duced into the passenger deck below. She has also ven tilating shafts. The rooms for the passengers are all enclosed, so that each family, or party, can be separately provided for. They will also be classified on the govern ment system. Nothing can exceed the excellent accom modations on board the Covenanter. The Rip Van Winkle, a fine United States frigate-built ship, goes out of the same dock this day ; and her accom modations, which we have already described, are of the very highest order. She is under the care of Mr. M`Henry and Messrs. Campbell and Rudd. Mr. J. S. De Woolf, and Mr. J. M. Walthew, have a very excellent conveyance, the Glenberris, now loading in the same dock, and to sail this week. She has good height between decks ; and her accommodations, both for cabin and steerage, are excellent. At the north end of the dock a remarkably fine ship, the Eldorado, one of the line of Messrs. James Baines and Co., challenges attention. She is a new vessel of 841 tons register, and about 1,500 tons burthen, with a cabin and house on dock. Her height between decks is 8 feet, and she is ventilated with side ports, which give both air and light. Her fittings are divided into separate rooms for families, or for married people ; and in every respec t the accommodations are good, and the bertl43 ToomY. Bho not say a vord in praise. Surely the cockney traveller of the "Household Words" could not find anything to say derogatory to these noble steamers. The sailing vessels in Messrs. Gibbs, Bright and Company's Eagle line have accommodations and qualities which cannot be surpassed We need not enumerate more particularly ; but may state confidently that the ships of Messrs. Henry Fox, John Johnson and Co. (the White Cross line), 'Messrs. Cotesworth, Wynne, and Lyne, Millers and Thompson, (the Golden Line), John S. Price, Barton and Browne, and other respectable houses, are of the first and best class. In none of them can any of the scenes occur so romanti cally described in Mr. Dickens's publication. In every case they must be ventilated and provisioned under the searching eye of the government inspector; and in no case is a ship passed by him in which the space set apart for passengers is not perfectly clear and unimpeded, In fact, not a package of merchandise is allowed to be stowed anywhere between decks ; and most of the ships take only coals, or other ballast freight. CORRESPONDENCE. Letters addressed to the Editor should be accompanied by the real name and address of the writer, not for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith ; this is indispensably requisite in any statement of facts. The Editor wishes it to he understood that he does not bold himself responsible for the opinions or stateneents of his correspondents. " WHAT IS THE COUNTRY'S VERDICT ?" To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD. Stn.,—ln an editorial article in your paper of the 20th I instant, bearing the above title, I find the following para graphs :—" Protection to agriculture, in the shape of a duty on foreign grain, will not be attempted." "If any alleviation, therefore, of the admitted distress which pre vails amongst the agricultural community is to be brought about, it must be by means of a reduction of the burthens which peculiarly press upon them ; and these consist chiefly of the local taxes, poor rates, highway rates, county rates, &c." Differing as I do from you in opinion, I would now proceed to show why a protective duty might, ought, and eventually will be, re-imposed upon corn. 1 hold that upon the principle of instice there should be a duty im posed upon corn, to protect the home grower against the foreign producer; for, in the first place, our climate is variable and uncertain, and the farmer after ploughing his land and sowing his seed may, through blight, or mildew, or rust (calamities to which the rival producers of more genial climes are not exposed), see. in a single week, his prospects of the coming harvest blasted. He, therefore, requires protection from this cause. Again, he pays a much higher price for labour. Do the free traders wish to reduce our agricultural labourers to the same level, and the same scale of remuneration for their labour, as that of the serfs of Russia and Poland ? from this cause, also, the farmer requires protection. Again, the amount of taxation which grinds him down, a portion of which you have pointed out, but to which may be added the malt tax and tithes, renders him unable to compete with the, in many instances, more lightly taxed foreigner;-and for this cause, also, he requires protection. Again, he is forced to consume home-manufactured goods, the cheaper productions of the foreign manufacturer being prohibited from entering into consumption in this country by the protective duties which are imposed upon them. For this cause also the farmer requires protection. Now, upon the principle of self-preservation, if the English farmer labours under these disadvantages, how can he be expected to compete with the foreigner, and ought he not to be accorded some amount of protection to enable him to do so ? If he is not to be allowed this pro tection, then, upon the principle of justice, should he not be placed in the best possible position to bear up against the gross injustice which has been inflicted upon him ? And as clothing, and implements, and stock, form large and important items in his out-goings, as well as rent, and if protection is to be taken off from all descriptions of agricultural produce —corn, cheese, bacon, and butter— and if he (the farmer) is to be compelled to feed the ma nufacturers' operatives with his home-raised produce upon the same or lower terms than the foreign producer, has he not a right to demand, upon the principle of justice, that he should be placed in the best possible position to sa 1, pyr;cl t; 1••• W etin tninl nhnlitinn of a l b ' d uties upon for e ign-manu f a c t u red cotton, linen, woollen, silks, leather, hats, iron, &c., so that he may clothe himself, his family, and servants, and replace worn-out stock and implements upon the same terms that the manufacturer feeds his people, namely— . with the untaxed productions of the foreign manufacturer? Here a principle of justice is involved, which is not to be staved off with any miserable expedient of equalisation of taxation, and it is for the principle of even-handed justice between class and class, and interest and interest, that the issue between the manufacturers and the farmers— which is now being tried—must and will be maintained.. Now we have either too much. or too little of free trade; if it is sound in principle and beneficial to the interests of the country in practice, then it must be fully and fairly carried• out, and be applied to manufactures as well as to agriculture; and if such is the case, can any one doubt for a moment what the result will be ? Increased competition will lower prices and annihilate profits, a larger amount of more perfect machinery must be brought into competition with manual labour; lack of employment, and reduced remuneration for increased labour must follow ' and misery and ruin be the inevitable result. Look at the state of the agricultural districts since the repeal of the corn laws, and say whether such has not been the case there, and such will be the case in the manufacturing districts also, if not averted by a return to a national system of protection to all classes of British producers, agricultural as well as manufacturing. A return to protection, or the extension of the principles of free trade to manufactures, is now only a question of time, and one which it will not be long before it is solved, and the free traders will find to their cost, that in the agita tion which they have excited throughout the country, and the attention which they have drawn towards the subject, that they have called up a spirit which they will not be able to control, one which will rule in place of being ruled, and which appears likely to involve their interests, together with all others, in one common and universal ruin. PAVING, &c., KIRKDALE. To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, wish, through your columns, to draw the attention of the Health Committee of this borough to the disgraceful state which the foot-walk of King-street, Kirkdale, is now in. It is exceedingly dangerous for persons to walk along it, either by day or night, in con sequence of the number of holes which are in it, and the curb-stones worn away. At night it is with difficulty individuals find their way home, there not being a gas lamp in the street, although the inhabitants have to pay the lighting rate. The Health Committee are expending all the money they can drain from the pockets of the rate-payers on the new road at the north docks, so that I know not when the time will come for us to have a few necessary repairs. The ratepayers are much worse off now they pay a Is. 9d. rate, than they were formerly with a 10d. rate. Hoping you will insert these few lines in your consistent journal, I remain, Sir, most respectfully. Kirkdale, July 26, 1852. A SUBSCRIBER. QUICK PASSAC L E OF T'v Maw, Pny r,—Wo aro glad to learn that the tine ship Marco Polo, belonging to the Black Ball Line of Messrs. James Baines and ow on her passage to Australia with 930 passen gers on Co.,board, was spoken on the 7th of July, in let. 45.11 north, lon. 12.40, by the French ship Leontine Marie, De La Prudelle, from Guadaloupe, arrived at Bordeaux. This shows her to have been 750 miles from Liverpool when spoken ; and as the Marco Polo left on Sunday, the 4th of July, she had made 250 miles a-day. This is tremen dous going, particularly out of the channel, and promises a short run to her place of destination. Mn. FEENY'S ICES.—Ever studious of the comforts of his friends, the enterprising restaurateur of the Mer chants' Dining-rooms has added to his previous achieve ments the production of most delicious ices. All Mr. Feeney's warm friends ought to pay him a visit. ABOLITION OF FEES ON CIRCUIT.—By the. Nisi Prius Officers Act it is declared, " that the fees heretofore re caived on the circuit by the marshal's man and the judge's bailiff respectively shall be and are hereby abolished, and no fee, gratuity, or reward whatsoever shall be demanded or accepted by any one exercising, or claiming to:exercise, either of the said offices, or other person attending the circuit in any subordinate office or employment." CURIOUS CASE.—The anniversary dinner and pro cession of the Modern Druids took place in Southport, on Monday last. The proceedings were of a very satis factory character until near the termination, when a man, known by the cognomen of " Blacking Jack, " got engaged in a quarrel with some others and fell, but whether from a blow or not was not, at the time of our writing, precisely ascertained ; however, he unfortunately dislocated his neck, and though Mr. Docker, surgeon, was shortly in attendance, it was too late, for life had fled. One or two parties implicated in the transaction are now in custody awaiting an inquest over the body. The occurrence took place in the lodge-room at the Scads brick Arms Hotel.—Preston Guardian. DON'T LIKE Ins Looics.—A sheriff's officer was sent to execute a writ against a Quaker. On arriving at the house he saw the Quaker's wife, who in reply to the Inquiry, whether her husband was at home, answered in the affirmative, at the same time requesting him to be seated, and her husband would speedily see him. The officer waited patiently some time, but the fair Quakeress coming into the room, he reminded her of her promise that ho should see her husband. "Nay, friend. I pro mised that he would see thee. He has seen thee ! He did not like thy looks; therefore he avoided thee, and has left the tattsa by mother path."—Dun dee Peer. The occurrences on this occasion took place about six o'clock in the evening, when, during an awfully tremen dous peal of thunder, the electric fluid struck a stack of chimnies, No. 7, Port-street, Walworth-common, a vast portion of which fell into the yard belonging to Mr. Clif ford, of Port-place. The latter observed the lightning, resembling a large luminous ball, strike the building, which, it appeared, then passed down the chimney to the upper room, and after tearing away the mantle piece, partially destroying the stove, and injuring various articles of furniture, struck the bed upon which lay Mrs. Bacon, who is about sixty years of age, and has been bed-ridden for six years. Fortunately it was a feather bed, and feathers being non-conducting, the poor woman received no other injury than being thrown violently to the floor, by which, however, she was rather severely bruised. From thence the fluid passed into the lower room, and was equally destructive to the walls, pictures, furniture, stove, &c., while the clock was stopped, and the floor strewed pro fusely with the debris. Each of the rooms appeared filled with blue flames and smoke, which gave rise to the sup position that the premises were in flames, and resulted in the arrival of the parish and other fire-engines. About the same period a similar accident occurred to two adjoining houses situate at the corner of Peter and 'Waterloo-streets, also at Walworth-common. These houses are in the occupation of Mr. Herds and Mr. Green, a greengrocer. At Mr. Herds' the lightning, after materially damaging the chimney-stack,pasaed down the flue, damaging the upper rooms; and on descending to the parlour, after injuring the ironwork of the stove, &c., traversed the walls in all directions, playing around with awfully grand brilliancy, and carrying de struction in its rapid and violent course, the whole force of which was at length centred in the clock, the internal works of which were broken, and the wheels partially fused, the dial plate crawled, and the glass covering partially molten; from thence it passed down the weights and brass chain, vohich. was annealed, and much distorted, and, after tearing away the skirt ing, was buried in the earth. Mrs. Herds, who, with her husband and family, was sitting in the room, was struck violently in the face, and for several minutes was deprived of sight, and rendered wholly unconscious. On partially recovering, she found that she was entirely bereft of hearing by the right ear, and felt an acute tingling and v ibration in her head, and from the general effects of the shock she remains seriously affected. The house of Mr. Green, adjoining, was also subjected to a precisely similar shock, with equally destructive effects as regards the damage to the building and furni ture. There, also, the chain of the clock, which was cut in three pieces, formed the conducting medium by which the electric fluid escaped to the earth, but not until it had inflicted some injury on Mrs. Green and one of her chil dren, a girl about six years of age, who was affected with blindness for several minutes. Both, however, are'in a fair way of recovery. Several chimneys, buildings, and large trees, in the neighbourhood of Norwood, Sydenham, Dulwich, and Camberwell, have been more or less injured by the lightning ; while the cellars of many licensed victuallers in Lambeth. and other portions of the south hank of the Thames, have been inundated by the over flowing of the drains, &c. At present, no information has been received of any death having been occasioned by the storm within the district, but many persons have been more or less injured. THE PRINCE PRESIDENT'S PROGRESS TO STRAS BURG. The Prince President left Paris for Strasburg on Satur day morning week. The President on proceeding from the Elysee was received at the terminus of the railway by all the ministers except M. Cassabianca, who had been dispatched upon a mission in the neighbourhood of Stras burg. The President then got into the " wagon d'hon neur," and was followed by St. Arnaud, Turgot, and Lefebyre-Durufle. The signal was given and the train moved off gradually accelerating its speed up to 27 miles an hour. The reception of the President on the whole of the line is described as having been in the highest degree enthusiastic. At Meaux the train stopped, and all the civil and mili tary authorities were in waiting to receive the Prince President. A handsome tent was erected close to the railway station, very tastefully ornamented. The Presi dent was received with loud acclamations, the Prefect of the Seine-et-Marne presenting an address. The Bishop of Meaux, who had arrived from Rome the evening before, also made a short address to the President.. At Chalons loud shouts were raised when the Prince took the arm of Bishop (an old officer of the Imperial Guard), and proceeded towards the spot where stood the horse which was in readiness for him to mount in order to review the troops. At Toul, a young girl made a speech to the President, in which she alluded to Joan of Arc having sought Divine inspiration in that town. At the closing point of the first day's journey, namely Nancy, where the President arrived at forty minutes past seven in the evening, a salvo of 101 guns announced his entry into the railway station. He was there received by the mayor, the deputy mayor, end mun i c i pa l counc il. Immediately on arriving, the President eroceeded to the r reitaaure in en open carriage drawn by eight horses. As night approached, the official houses and public monu ments were illuminated. As soon as the President reached the Prefecture, the official receptions commenced. After the receptions the President dined at the Prefecture. At ten o'clock the President went to the Hotel de Ville, where a ball took place. About 3,000 persons were present ; and the Prince opened the ball with Madome de Sivry, the wife of the Prefect, as his partner. He remained at the ball until 12 o'clock ; and, on leaving the Hotel de Ville, as on pro ceeding to it, he was saluted with.repeated cries of " Vive Napoleon !" The President resumed his journey on Sunday, and reached Strasburg at half-past 12, after having passed through the whole valley of the Vosges under heavy rain, which accompanied him all the way from- Nancy to the limits of the Bas-lain. The Prince had been greeted on his journey with acclamations as loud and warm as on the previous day, _ _ On his arrival at the Strasburg terminus the President was received by the assembled multitude. which was everywhere gathered under tents, or in reserved spaces, at the windows or on the roofs, with an immense shout of " Vive Napoleon !' A salute of 101 guns was fired as the train entered the terminus, and. all the bells in the city immediately poured forth a welcome. All the authorities of the place were assembled to receive the Prince in a magnificent pavilion erected for his accommo dation. The preparations for the ceremony of inau gurating the railway were upon the most extensive scale. At the extremity of the rails, within the terminus, a long platform was raised, on which an altar was erected, and along the sides of the line tribunes were to be seen, ca pable of containing between three and four thousand per sons. Near the altar were to be read the following in scriptions on streamers of silk:—" All nations are giving each other the hand"—" Distance is destrosed"—" The Danube and the Rhine are united to the Atlantic." In front of the altar was placed a colossal statue of the genius of railways, with the left hand placed on a loco motive, and the right pointing towards Germany. The pavilion just spoken of was constructed at one side of the railway, and contained a most elegant saloon for the use of the Prince and his suite. The President. on alighting from the state carriage, was complimented by the mayor and municipal authorities on his arrival,and was presented by them with the keys of the town, which he was pleased to return into their hands. The keys were placed on a cushion of purple velvet, which itself rested on a large gold salver of ancient workmanship. The keys of the fortifications were also presented by the commandant. The religious ceremony—that of blessing the locomo tives then commenced. On this occasion were brought out three ancient banners of immense size belonging, to the Cathedral, each carried by three men, and which are never exposed to the public gaze except on the most solemn ceremonies. The President took his place in a tribune on the right of the altar, with his suite and a num ber of the principal visitors from Paris, whilst the civil and military authorities occupied another tribune at the left side of it. As soon as the Prince had taken his place, the bishop, accompanied by a numerous body of clergy came forward and celebrated mass ; after which ha blessed the locomotives, pronouncing an appropriate address. After alluding to the deeds of Alexander the Great and of the Romans, he terminated by saying :—" Pour a blessing, 0 God, on the magnanimous Prince who presides over this great ceremony of inaugurating the Strasburg Rail way ; and who, after having saved France fro m anarc h y , now only thinks of giving her peace and the benefits of religion." When the ceremony had concluded the President with drew fcr a short time to the pavilion, where he received a number of delegations from the adjoining towns and villages. The Prince then mounted on horseback, and accompanied by a brilliant staff proceeded to the hotel of the Prefecture, passing in the midst of the greatest en thusiasm. Immediately after the Prince's arrival at the Prefecture, he received the authorities and the principal inhabitants of the town. At about half-past five o'clock the cortege of peasants filed off before the President. It consisted of 120 cars filled with young girls, and 1,200 horsemen all dressed in the costume of the country. On passing before the President the girls threw bouquets at his feet, uttering at the same time the cry of " Vive Napoleon l" which was taken up by the horsemen, and re-echoed by the spectators. Among the persona of dis tinction who were present with the President were the Grand Duchess Stephanie of Baden, who had arrived in the course of the day and alighted at the Prefecture; Field-Marshal Count de Paur, deputed by the Emperor of Austria to compliment the President on his safe arrival ; Count de Lassolave, general in the Baden army, and several Austrian officers from the garrison of the federal fortress of Radstadt, all having arrived during the day. In the evening the President entertained at his table the Envoys of Prussia, Austria, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Hesse Darmstadt. and Swiss Bale, all the Generals pre sent at Strasburg, and all the high functionaries. After dinner a display of fireworks took place, and a grand illu mination of the Cathedral, Next morning the President, mounted on horseback, and proceeded accompanied by the Envoys and a numerous and brilliant staff, to a grand review and manoeuvres on the Rhine. The troops filed off before the Prince, who bestowed decorations upon several soldiers: Then the engineers threw some bridges over the little arm of the Rhine, and later a bridge of pontoons was thrown across the main stream. Immense crowds of spectators were assembed on the banks, A handsome tent was erected for the President, the Prince then crossed over to Baden, where he was received with all honours, At Kehi he reviewed the Baden garrison. He then returned, escorted by the envoys and his staff, to the Prefecture at Strasburg, which he reached shortly after noon. The spectacle the city prescuted was most imposing i the whole of the housed is to have early despatch ; and we venture to say that she will make a quick passage. At the north end of George's clipper-built ship, the Henry Gillespie, SOO tons burthen, chartered by Mess's, Renner and Curr, Goree Piazzas. This vessel has been fitted up expressly for the trade.

SERIOUS DAMAGE AT WALWORTEL—MIRA CULOUS ESCAPE OF SEVERAL PERSONS. On Sunday evening the metropolis was visited by a most terrific storm of thunder and lightning, accom panied by torrents of rain, which literally deluged and burst several drains, and did considerable damage in various places, but in no locality was the storm so severely felt as in Walworth and vicinity ; indeed, the tremendous peals of thunder, with the powerful and vivid flashes of forked lightning, have not been equalled since the memor able occasion when the churches of Spitalfields, St. Martin's-in-the-fields, and other public edifices were so severely damaged. _ roe s covered with flags, the windows crowded with " a- „ t he waving their handkerchiefs, an d fli n ging flower 3 Z r ed path of the Prince ; and the w h o l e population g at f ro m on the public places, in the streets, in every sli t. °, t , a nd which a glimpse of the corteje cou ld be caul uttering unanimous shouts of "W ire Napoleon." clothes, At half-past four the Prince went out in plain and in an open carriage, and drove in the streets of D" t he burg and in the public walk of Rupertsaui 'Th ere re• sports of the 11l took place.
