LITERARY NOTICES, Our Mess; Coombe Abbey; and The Commissioner Walmsley, Liverpool. These three publications, emanating as they do from the Dublin press, are extremely creditable in every way. In " Our Mess," we find Jack Hinton taken prisoner by the French, and figuring away on parole. He also makes his appearance in Paris. This work is approaching a conclusion "Coombe Abbey" increases in interest; and "The Com missioner" is evidently coming to a denouement. We re commend all these publications to notice. LORD WELLESLEY AT HARROW, The late Marquis Wellesley, above all men, possessed the enviable talent of conversing well, and no person, perhaps, in hours of social intercourse, indulged with greater satis faction in reminiscences of his early career. Of the many anecdotes of his boyhood, there is none to which he more frequently recurred than the following. Often h as hi s lord ship dwelt upon the incident as the most important in his early life, seeing that it placed him in contact with those whose colleague and intimate friend he became in after years : On the death of Dr. Summer, bead master of Harrow School, in 1771, it is well known that the late Dr. Parr, then under master, expected the appointment would be con ferred on him. Very popular with the boys of the upper school, to whom he had endeared himself by the conversa tional powers he displayed in illustrating the more beautiful wrote out the speech verb passages from the classics, which he generally rendered steamer Rhode Island, doubly so by aptly quoting parallels from our own poets, New . York, on the nits' particularly Spencer, Dryden, Pope, Milton, &c., his pre- and, arrangements having been ma eminent attainments as the first classical schol ar o f th e d ay speech was put in type onboard tt• seemed to ensure his e l ec tio n . Th e g o vernors , h owever, to York, the " form ''' the astonishment of every one, elected Dr. Heath, a man taken to the of of very inferior talents, one of the under masters of Eton, of an Ext who was unpopular with the scholars, while every boy any quantity in the school was in favour of Dr. Parr. Such a flagrant act It was i. of injustice, as it seemed to he, was not to be passed over by , speech complete, anti _ the boys, who rose up in open rebellion, and seizing upon tancing all competitors.—.L. the first obnoxious object that presented itself, determined The new Bishop of Meath, Dr. Edyv, upon a full and summary vengeance. This was nothing less S whu. than the carriage of Mr. Bucknell, one of the governors of son to that Dr. James n opford, earn topford, of the school, which was quickly demolished amidst the shouts mention is made as a man of worth, lein 6 Poet, and Lord Bolingbrok e . O n th e d own f all of the whole assembled boys. The Marquis Wellesley, re- letters which circulated am ongs t P u l teney, cent!) , arrived from Ireland, had been i niaced at Harrow by . . • • his father's friend_ A rAmo,.., r.,,..--_ i• The sp, aeceeding its deliv containing the IT of the Tribune, and in a fE 'ra Tribune, containing th —wholesale and retail—as pur ear►y an hour before any other pape riosion 411, posed, he was one of the foremost in resenting this insult offered to the favourite candidate of the boys, and one of the ringleaders in the work of destruction of poor Mr. Bucknell's carriage. On the news reaching town, the archbishop im mediately despatched a messenger for Lord Wellesley, who, upon his arrival at Lambeth Palace, entered the room, shouting " victory ! victory ! my lord archbishop ; behold what a trophy I bear from the field," exhibiting at the same time the tassel of the carriage window, which he continued with boyish exultation to whirl round his head. No time was to be lost, the carriage was still in waiting, and, ac companied by the archbishop, the marquis, was speedily on his way to Eton, where he was entered at the age of eleven, and within a few hours of the exhibition at Harrow, and which would otherwise have led to his expulsion from the school. To his tutor, the late Jonathan Davies, head master, and afterwards provost of Eton, Lord Wellesley acknowledged his obligations in his farewell verses, in 1778 : bout the c, oy ruiteney, viously married " Non tamem ilia prius discedat, quam tibi sertum Nexureit, docilem qui, moderare gregem, Debuit illa suas artes tibi ; rpm canit, bausit Carmina prwceptis qualiacunque tuis !" His attachment to Eton continued ardent to the end of his life, and many passages in his recently printed volume, en titled " Primitim et Reliquim," record the grateful feelings of the man for the benefits conferred upon the boy. Lord Wellesley was elected student of Christ Church, Oxford, in December, 1778, in his 19th year , an d , i n 1780 , won the Chancellor's prize by his beautiful poem on the death of Captain Cook. He had been induced to attempt Latin hex ameters but a few months previously, by his tutor (Dr. Wir limn Jackson, afterwards Bishop of Oxford), who wished Lord Wellesley to try for the prize. Ltish coast AN AMERICAN HOTEL.—There is no smoking-room in any hotel, and there was none consequently in ours; but the bar is a large room with a stone floor, and there people stand and smoke and lounge about all the evening; dropping in and out as the humour takes them; The re , too, the stranger is initiated into the mysteries of gin sling, , cocktail, sangaree, mint julep, sherry-cobbler, timber doodle, and other rare drinks. The house is full of boarders, both married and single, many of whom sleep upon the premi ses , an d contract by the week for their board and lodging, the charge for which diminishes as they go nearer the sky to roost. A public table is laid in a very handsome hall for breakfast, and for dinner, and for supper. The party sitting down together to these meals will vary in number from one to two hundred ; sometimes more. The advent of each of these epochs in the day is proclaimed by an awful gong, which shakes the very window frames as it reverberates through the house and horribl y di stur b es nervous f ore i gners . Th ere i s an ordinary for ladies, and an ordinary for gentlemen. In our private room the cloth could not, for any earthly consideration, have been laid for dinner without a huge glass dish of cranberries in the middle of the table ; and breakfast would have been no breakfast unless the principal dish were a deformed beef steak with a great flat bone in the centre, swimming in hot butter, and sprinkled with the very blackest of all possible pepper. Our bed-room was spacious and airy, but (like every bed-room on this side of the Atlantic) very bare of furniture, having no curtains to the French bedstead or to the window. It had one unusual luxury, however, in the shape of a ward robe of painted wood, something smaller than an English watch-box ; or, if this comparison should be insufficient to convey a just idea Of its dimensions, they may be estimated from the fact of my having lived for fourteen days and nights in the firm belief that it was a shower-bath.—Dicken's Notes on America. The October number of the American Democratic Review contains a survey of the financial and commercial condition of the country durin g the month of September, chiefly with the view of showing that the new American tariff has failed in producing those advantages which the people of the Uni ted States had been led to expect from it. At first, it is ad mitted, it was highly popular with the manufacturers of those domestic goods which were supposed to suffer most from foreign imports, and the prices of the raw material being low, an impulse was given to the movements of the manufacturers. It is found, however, that trade has not in fact, been increa sed, and that the only actual result of the tariff has been an advance in the price of some articles of foreign goods, which can no longer be imported. In domestic goods there had r. — ould be, the stocks anticipated result of the been no advance, nor was it likely the cioYn, liguhttitaZtsltebx; being already large, theand. the only anti effects legislativenw a rd ten tendency of prices.

Among the other• non-paving states great apathy prevailed, but it was hoped that the Legis lature of Illinois, which will meet in December, would find some way of coming to terms with her creditors by meansof her landed property. . ~th of Mr. Webster, in Faneuil-hall, on Friday, was reported for the New York Tribune by Mr. Raymond, ant editor of the New York Tribune.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—We have great pleasure in announcing, that it has been definitively settled that the great Caledonian Railway shall proceed from Lancaster by way of Kendal to Carlisle ; and that the London and Bir mingham Railway Company have come to a resolution to promote it by every means in their power. That an act will be obtained there is little doubt, and with the aid of the I don and Birmingham, the Grand Junctior nd the t railway companies interested in the line, and the assistan which the landowners along the line are prepared to give the undertaking, no fear is entertained of the requisite funs being supplied.

Alice Lowe, the young female charged by Lcrd Frankfor with having stolen various articles of jewellery, his property, whilst she was living under his lordship's protection, took her trial at the Central Criminal Court on Monday, and was acquitted, to the evident satisfaction of a densely crowded DARING ROBBERY OF WILLS, DEEDS, MONEY, AND JEWELLERY AT BATTERSEA.—On Friday last, a most daring robbery was committed at the residence of Mr. Ash ness, an independent gentleman, living in Battersea-rise, and the circumstances under which it took place leave but little doubt that it was planned and executed by a dishonest servant. It appears that on Friday night, about 11 o'clock, Mr. Ashness had entered his bedroom with the intention of retiring to rest, when his attention was attracted to the win dow, which was wide open. This, being a most unusual circumstance, induced Mr. Ashness to look out, and to his dismay he saw a ladder placed against the wall directly un derneath the window ledge. 'l:he idea that he had been robbed flashed instantly across his mind, and his suspicions were soon confirmed by discovering that two tin boxes had been taken from the room. These boxes were two feet in length, and eigbteen inches wide. One was filled with wills, deeds. and other valuable documents, and the other con tained, in addition to a number of papers, between £5O and £6O in gold, a diamond ring of great value, and a mourning ring set with hair, encircled with pearls, and engraved " Anne Ashness, died April 8, 1832, aged SI." Information sent to the Clapham and Wandsworth irjeants Emmerson and Burchett, of employed to investigate the circum- tation-bouses, and the V division, it possible to trace out the perpetrator or per petrators of the robbery. On Saturday and Sunday the pre iises underwent the strictest search. Outwardly there re no signs of any person having got over the garden walls cence, and no footmarks in the soil ; therefore, although • was planted against the window of Mr. Ashness s room, which looks into the back garden, it was 'lnt that the thief had neither entered nor quitted, '-at way. During the rigid search the police garden and fields in rear of it, they found one tin box embedded in the mud of a ditch. This had' been 'pen, and it was soon ascertained that it was the one • filled only with wills, deeds, and securities. Some value of the papers may be formed, when one the top of the others was a bond may b e we ll imagined with w h a t p l easure .eceived back this box and its valuable con other box, containing the money, &c., being was determined to search the house tho ly it was found upon the top of the that were in_jt previously remained, but ises a were E wa; idea of a b was lyir, Ashness r xposed on still missing, it roughly, and ultimate house the i rings were gone These circumstances tendec to contirr, the suspicions of the police that 'some one em the premises was the thief, and the whole of the ed, but nothing was elicited to he offence CHARGE OF FELONY AGAINST A BANKER'S. CLERK.— A case which has excited the most lively interest in the minds of the inhabitants of Huddersfield and its vicinity was finally beard on Thursday last before B. R. Batty Esq., at the ma gistrates' office in that tow n . Mr. J o h n Robinson Eastwood, as clerk in the bank of the Huddersfield Banking Company, was charged with stealing at various periods the sum of £BO5, the property of. the company. fhe investigation had been going on in private and public during the preceding tw e l ve days ; but the young man had only been in confinement since Friday last ; thus every facility had been afforded him . for escape if such had been his wish. The investigation on Thursday lasted six hours. The only evidence which could be adduced against him was his expensive w a y o f li v i ng, which, it was asserted, had cost nearly £9OO since February, 1841, the period stated in the charge. Mr. Wm. Barker, solicitor, appeared for the defence, and in a speech of one hour and a quarter's duration, he clearly pointed out that, notwithstanding the young man's expensive habits, there .was not the slightest fonndation for the c h arge o f dishonesty against him. He proved that, in addition to his salary, on account of which he had, since January, 1841, received two hundred and twenty-seven pounds ten shillings, he had from other sources received nearly to the amount of the sum - fo r which he was ar a i gne d. A host of witnesses were examined ; among them Mr. Ramsay, inspector of missing letters from the General Post-office, London, but no case of stealing, em bezzlement, or dishonesty could be sustained: It appeared , that on an average, no less than 3,000 letters passed daily through the Huddersfield Post-office, exclusive of newspapers. Mr. Batty, in giving his decision on this most interesting lase, observed that the prisoner had had a most able defence, nd th - at bad he been sent to another place he c ou ld not h ave UnasSisted as he was by his brother :e some circumstances of a the privilege of Englishmen .o be innocent until they • to no other decision a bett t every o. 'though there wer ire, vet as it w present case than that the prisoner was innocent, and therefore be discharged. This decision was received owded the court with the most elleer: urxs of satisfaL n which continued some time. The interest and anxiety oc, .9ned by this investigation was most intense, and although tt 'oung man's habits have lately been of an expensive kind, • charge of dishonest conduct could be sustained against h. : but, as the worthy magistrate as t,illy justified and exonerated in the course it hail pursued ; and although there were some circum stances of a rather suspicious stature, be yet hoped the prisoner was in fact perfectly innocent. Mr. Eastwood then left the court amid the congratulations of his numerous friends.—Leeds Intelliliencer, observed, the liank was to after as fast as her feelings of alarm would allow. She had, however, just reached the door leading down to the cellar, which she had to pass in order to go up stairs, and which was standing partially open, when Miss Rigg came out pale as a corpse, and bleeding about her neck, though from what particular parts the blood proceeded was not at first easily seen, her neck and shoulders being covered with blood, and her white dress from her shoulder downwards presenting a frightful appearance. " Mother," she cried, " a man in the cellar has stabbed me." Her agonized and agitated parent laid her on the sofa, and sent immediately for her medical attendant. afraid herself to look on what was done. On the arrival of Dr. F., it was found that she had been mercifully preserved from serious injuury. When the mis creant attacked her, she was in the act of mounting the cel- lar steps, and consequently, on that narrow ground be could only assail her from behind, in which position her long and thick curls interposed between his blade and her neck, and there can be little doubt saved her life. She had, however, one deep cut, four inches long, on the shoulder, with four smaller ones near it, and a slight wound on her breast. in making his brutal attempt, the ruffian had held her by one shoulder, but her dropping the candle prevented him from seeing precisely where to strike. He had, however, besides inflicting the above-named wounds, severed a large portion of her hair, which, from its great profusion and strength of curl, must have required a very vigorous and determined stroke, or perhaps a succession of strokes. Miss Rigg dis tinctly heard her mother direct her brother to see what wa; the matter, as her assailant must also have done, and this made him quit his hold. Retreating by the front cellar, or n, he made his e articles of value, .nd had taken the gg's life from her ,zor with which he attempted Miss It. father's dressing-room. In his alarm he..cured nothing, the silver spoons he attempted to take with him, but dropped them in getting over the wall, and the razor was found crusted with blood on the other side of the wall. What was the reason of his brutal attempt is known to -lf and to God. It is not easy to conjecture it. It may .iat he thought Miss Rigg had seen him, and he _..rough her means discovery. He may have been the .me man whom she had previously encountered, and in that ,ase with the fear of discovery may have been united the de sire of revenge. Still, that the roan, unmolested, apparently unobserved, should either from fear of discovery go the very way to insure discovery, or should so harbour revenge as to determine to attempt the life of an innocent, unoffending girl, seems at first incredible. Yet subsequent circum stances render it almost certain that the latter is the true so- , the attempt must be admitted to have been out - ..,ost cruel, unprovoked, and brutal, that was ever made; and one would have thought that every heart would swelled with indignation against the perpetrator, every been ready to seize and consign him to justice, lad t t all would be . inspired with one common feeling of s ' ' 4, 0 sufferer. - Mit, sir, our magistrates are wonderful people, wonderfully clever, wonderfully profound, wonderfully subtile ! They, it seems, have discovered (marvellous penetration) that Miss Rige was frightened and fancied there was a man ! This, with her seamed shoulder in evidence before them ! Astonishing discovery, this ! Unequalled solution of this difficult case ! if in all affairs that come before them, they show equal penetration, equal acumen, equal power of ima gination, how blessed is our good town of Bradford ! - Did any ever before conceive of fancy wounding a person, cutting off hair, pilfering silver spoons, and throwing a razor over a wall? Fancy, forsooth! No doubt it was fancy, too, in the person of Dr. Farrar, who dressed the wounds ? This, sir, would at any rate be a very active fancy ! And what has been the consequence of this conduct of these magistrates? Listen, sir. Last Sunday evening, du ring service time, as Miss Rigg was going into the b ac k parlour for a book, a man followed her and struck her vio lently on the arm twice with some heavy instrument. She fell shrieking to the ground, and her cries brought assistance, which frightened away the incarnate fiend who had attacked her. He left the house without taking or attempting to take anything. Her arm exhibits a dreadful contusion from above the elbow nearly to the wrist. Is this fancy, too, Messrs. • • . The low range of the value of wheat has had the usual effect on all other species of corn, and prices of barley, o..ts, &c., are now relatively lower here than at the near Continental ports. Last week, between three and four thousand quarters of the latter grain were shipped from London to Dunkirk and Rouen, and a little pai cel of barley to Rotterdam ; there is consequently little chance of importations from those quarters ; and if we look to more distant countries, we still arrive at the same conclusion, namely, that prices must ad vance here, or recede materially abroad, before any benefit can accrue from business in corn between this and foreign countries. This will be made more manifest by giving short extracts from our foreign advices : At New York, on the Ist instant, good brands of canal flour were still held at 84 d 015.56,1 per barrel (about 23s 6d,) and other descriptions at proportionate rates. Letters from Montreal, of the 26th September, inform us that though the demand for flour was very dull both there and at Quebec, nothing could be had below 22s 6d, and that many holders insisted on 24s per barrel for floe brands. Freight thence to London was 3s 9d per bare would bring the price consi' tide in bond h el, which, with other expens— lerably above the value of the ar Shipments from the Mediterranean arelquite out of the question ; the better kinds received from that quarter, such as Ancona, Barletta, &c., being now obtainable, duty paid, in the London market, at 425. to 455., much below the rates at which importations could be made. In the Baltic prices are somewhat more reasonable, though still relatively higher than in this country. Advices from Dantzic of the 11th instant inform us that occasional purchases of wheat continued to be made there for Dutch account, mostly of the quality denominated mixed, at about 305., whilst superior high mixed varities were held at per quarter free on board. At Stettin, on the. 11th of ;ilesian wheat , . . might have been bought at 30s. per quarter; but this price, with freight, expenses, and duty ad ded, would stand in too high to yield a profit. At Hamburg, on the 15th instant, there was scarcely sufficient wheat offer '- - - ' the town millers, and quotations were conse- tug to supp quently fligli - At Mark Lane, on Monday, we had a scanty show of wheat from Essex, and only a moderate arrival from Kent and Suffolk ; the trade opened dull, however, and though a few choice samples were selected early in the morning at about previous rates, purchases might easily have been made later in the day at an abatement of Is. per quarter; notwithstand ing which factors were unable to effect a clearance, and several runs from Kent and Suffolk remained undisposesi of. On Wednesday we had scarcely anything fresh up, but the quantity left over from previous receipts proved fully adequate to the demand, and sales were with difficulty made at the de cline above noticed. Many of the holders of foreign wheat have evinced great anxiety to realise, and in some instances very low terms have been accepted, others have remained tolerably firm, and on the general sales the reduction acceded to has not exceeded Is. to 2s. per quarter. The duty remains stationary at 18s. per quarter, but as the averages are still receding, it is not improbable that the duty may , rise to the highest point. We have been pretty liberally supplied with ship flour dur ing the last week or two, which has interfered a good deal with the disposal of town manufactured; the latter , has, how ever, been held at previous prices, but Norfolks have been selling from on board at 355. to 365. per sack. The arrivals of barely have increased, and the demand having rather fallen off, sellers have been under the necessity of submitting to an abatement of ls. per quarter on all ex cept the very finest malting qualities. Old malt has excited very little attention, but fine new has found buyers at com paratively high prices. _ . In addition to a fair arrival of oats coastwise, we have re ceived a large supply from Ireland, and our market now affords a good choice of quality ; the dealers have neverthe less acted with extreme caution, and the value of most de scriptions of corn has receded 6d. to Is. per quarter. The transactiuns.in beans and peas have been on quite a retail scale, and no variation deserving notice has taken place in prices of these articles. NEW CHURCH IN STAFFORDSHIRE. The following is a description of the justly admired new church at HarLshill, Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, built and endowed at the sole expense of Herbert Minton, Esq., who has also erected a handsome parsonage in connection with it. So spirited an undertaking we scarcely ever heard of, and we hold up as worthy of imitation. In these days of dissent and opposition to church principle, it is weil that such a noble instance of generosity should be recorded, The form and arrangement is that of the simpler of the ial churches, consisting of a chancel of good nave, aisles, south porch, and western tower yle is taken from the later specimens of in which the window tracery consists principally of circles, as those in the nave of Lichfield Cathedral. The details are carried out in a plain and simple manner, but the general proportions of the building and their similarity to those of the majority of ancient churches, give it a more ornamental app e arance than is frequently obtained by with spire.

SINGULAR ACT OF SELF-MUTILATION.—A most ex traordinary and determined act was committed in Worcester Gaol, on Wednesday afternoon, b Pincher, who had been apprehended as a de d J ames in the prison to await the d etermination of h: so confined, he contrived to possess hir hoop, which he had notched so as t- ••••••••••••• .110VV VA ...gnu the purpose of a saw, and with this rude instrument he suc ceeded in sawing off the thumb of his right hand, between the nail and the first joint, the separation of skin, flesh, and bone being effected in the most complete manner. His ob ject is easily accounted for—viz., the disabling of himself for future service. Fincher deserted from the Grenadier Guards some twelve or thirteen years since, and was only apprehend ed, as we have been informed, a few days ago. RAILWAY PLACES OF WORSHIP.—TWO .. have just been erected on that portion of the Londo— Dover Railway now in progress of formation between Ton bridge Wells and Folkstone, for the religious instruction of the excavators and workmen in the employ of the railway company. The proposal orininated with Messrs. Grissell and Peto, the contractors for that portion of the line, who, in conjunction with the company, have provided a chaplain to preach on every alternate Sunday. F will accommodate between 300 and 400 persons. Bibles and Prayer-books are provided for the men and their families, and instruction is given to those who cannot read. There is a similar establishment on the Birmingham Railway at Wol verton, where a church is about to be erected and which is to be followed by another at the central station of the Grand Junction Company at Crewe.

At the sight of him she iuietly put down the linen, which she had in one hand, on a partly crou, chair, and, walking to the door, took the ke from the inside and locked it on the out. She then gave the alarm, but as there were none but women and children in the house, some minutes necessarily elapsed before assistance could be pro cured, and in the mean time the man made his escape by the window, and over the yard wall, taking with him some of Miss Rigg's dresses, nor was he afterwards taken. One Wednesday evening, about a month ago, at the hour of nine o'clock, the Rev. Mr. Rigg being absent from home on ministerial duty, Miss Rigg, who had been sitting in the back parlour with her mother and brother, bad occasion to leave them for a few minutes. In about six or seven minute: a candlestick was heard to fall, and there ensued an unac countable scuffling and noise, then a stifled scream, followed by one louder. Mrs. Rigg thinking that the noise came from upstairs, and that one of the children, who had just retired to rest, must have set herself on fire, directed Mr. H.

Nov. 2 The trade is very heavy this morning, and the supplies are small of every article, excepting Irish Oats. The business is confined to the retail trade, and the prices are nominally the same as on the last market day. Though the price of Wheat is very low, and in the opinion of many persons certain to be much higher in the spring, yet capital cannot be obtained for the purpose of specula tion, as the recent failures of large houses has brought all the corn bills into a very discredited character in Lombard-street.

Oporto much more elabor The by the anal beauty of • the church is also much increased Iness of its site, and by the exquisitely appropriate stone of which it has been built, and which is pro )y almost all who have seen it to be the most hich could possibly have been selected for the flounced I purpose The spire is of light and elegant proportions, and is a most conspicuous object from almost every part of the surrounding country The interior is perfectly open and unobstructed by galleries, excepting a very small organ gallery projecting slightly beyond the toner arch. The nave is fitted up with open sittings with carved stall ends, and the chancel is left entirely free from any fixed seats. The nave has a simple but elegant grained roof, with a good clere-story. The most striking features, however, in the interior are the tile paving, and the ceiling and painted windows of the chancel. The paving throughout is of encaustic tiles, made at Mr. Minton's manufactory, in imitation of those used at cathedrals and ancient churches, consisting of symbolical, ornamental, and h era ldi c d ev i ces; and for beauty of execution and arrangement, and for variety and richness of pattern, exceed, it is said, anything of the kind which has yet been executed. Those in the chancel have a rich orange enamel upon the inlayed patterns. The ceiling of the chancel is of a multangular form, divided by wooden mouldings into panels, which are fitted in by tiles of a rich blue, studded with stars of gold, in imitation of the decorated ceilings of some early churches, and when seen in combination with the enamelled floor and the stained win dows, presents a richness of effect seldom attained in modern, buildings. The windows in the chancel, five in nuniber, are entirely filled with stained glass. The general patterns are of a simply ornamented kind, in accordance with old windows of a corresponding date, but the tracery contains symbolical devices, those in the eastern window bearing reference to the Holy Divinity, and those in the side windows to the four evangelists. These windows have been executed by Mr. Ward, of London, and may he considered to be amongst the most successful attempts at the restoration of this beautiful art. The pulpit and font are stone, and are very ornamental in their design ; the former is attached to the chancel pier, and the latter is placed near the south porch entrance. The altar table will be of stone, inlaid with rich Mosaic; and an organ is now being built by Messrs. Bewsher and Fleetwood, of Liverpool. A commodious and appropriate parsonage house has been erected. on an adjoining site, which groups in a very agreeable manner with the church. The church was consecrated on the 7th October, by the Lord Bishop of Hereford. The purchase-money of the Cowdray estate, which has been recently bought by the Earl of Egmont, was upwards of £309,000. EASTER UNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY.--The ad 'journed general meeting of the proprietors was held on Friday last at the Shoreditch station. Mr. Henry Bosanquet having taken the chair, after some general observations on the state of the undertaking, proceeded to give an outline of the pro gressive increase of the traffic on the 171 miles of the line now open to the public. In 1840, for 15 weeks, the receipts were £10,455, for the same period, £14,990 ; and in 1842, £17,455. The report states that the revised estimates of 1841 would be exceeded by the sum of £200,000, arising from slips on the line, land, compensation, &c. The receipts for the half year had increased 25 per cent. over those of last year, leaving a balance of £11,208, applicable to a dividend of 4s. per share. The traffic for the half year amounted to £22,924; the dis bursements to £12,058, The increase of expenditure in the line between Brentwood and Colchester was £46,000. Satis factory arrangements have been made with the Northern and Eastern Company relative to the toll upon goods, and the short passenger traffic. The directors had thought fit to op pose the construction of the Norwich and Yarmouth line in Parliament, as it was proposed to run through a district into which the Eastern Counties Company were entitled to extend their line. The chairman, in reply to a variety of questions, stated that the directors had no data before them to lead them to the conclusion that the revised estimates would be mate rially exceeded. Mr. Braithwaite, the engineer, in reply to inquiries from several of the shareholders, stated that, with fine weather, the line Might be opened with a single line of rails, for goods' traffic only, in three weeks from the present time, and entirely opened for passenger traffic before the ex piration of three months. After considerable discussion on the general prosOcts of the undertaking, a vote of thanks was passed to the chair, and the meeting, which was a full one, dispersed. SALE OF BREAD.—The public are now fully aware of the existing law in reference to this important subject, and it is to be feared that in consequence of their ignorance, or their not availing themselves of the simple but ample mode of pro tection conferred on them, they are frequently severe suf ferers. By the act 6 and 7, William IV. cap. 37 (1836), all the old and conflicting laws are set aside, and one uniform law is now made for the whole empire. The following is the outline of the leading provisions of the statute, which it is right the public should know and observe 1. Bread may be made and sold of such weight and size as the bakers or sellers shall think fit. But, 2. Bread shall be sold by weight only under the penalty of 40s. for eN ery offence. (Thus, peck loaves and other measure loaves, are prohibited.) But fancy bread and rolls are ex empted from the necessity of being weighed. 3. The weight shall be only according to the avoirdupois standard of 16 ounces to the pound, and the several gradations of a pound for any less quantity than a pound • and for every deviation from su c h un if orm we i g h t, the offender is liable in a penalty of X 5. 4. Every baker and seller of bread must have on or near the counter a heath and scales, with proper weights, in order that all bread sold by weight in the presence of the purchaser, under tae penalty of £5 for each offence. 5. All bread carts are to have the like weighing apparatus, under the like penalty. 6. All adultration of bread is punished with a penalty of £lO, and all loaves not made wholly of wheat must be marked with the letter M, under a penalty of £lO for each pound weight offered for &Ile. Any person may prosecute for the penalties. It is thus seen that the public ought to purchase bread in the same manner as beef or any other commodity, by seeing each loaf weighed when purchaed, and that the weight be actually what it is represented, according to the imperial pound or its pro.. portions, and none other. RAORDINARY AT CHELTENHAM.—Sotre in genious but mischievous wag played off a well matured and too successful trick upon a great number of the principal tradesmen of this town, on Wednesday morning last. Let ters were received by that morning's post, requesting a large assortment of the various articles in which the different par ties deal to be sent to Springfield House and East Court, at Charlton Kings, on the London-road, about two miles from Cheltenham. Accordingly all was bustle and activity, and each outvied his neighbour in endeavouring to make the best display before this new patron, and, as they all no doubt imagined, wealthy and aristocratic customer. Wealthy he must be, from the largeness of his favours, and aristocrat was plainly to be deciphered in the style of his writing, and the perfect nonchalance exhibited in requesting " the best articles to be sent to my mansion." Forgetting " that all is nut gold that glitters," and that " wise men look before they leap," they, good easy men, punctually attended to their written orders ; and loading porters, carts, and flys, with all that mortals can require for their temporal neces sities, despatched them to the " mansion of Mr. Crump," on arriving at which they found that Springfield was not ca pable of containing the goods they intended to stow within it ; and that East Court was not the court where they were wanted—in fact, they found they had been hoaxed. One tradesman had an order for some guns ; he, however, wisely studied the benefit of his health by quietly walking, unen cumbered by those deadly weapons, up to enquire what kind of guns were wanted, when he found, as he expected, that none were required ; the lady of the house telling him that the place had been like a fair all the day. One tradesman took a fly filled with hats, for which, on his arrival he found no heads. Another took his best pair of horses, but no riders awaited their arrival. One sent two barrels of oil; another several dozens of wine, which no one came forth to' pay for or drink. Loads of china, linen drapery, grocery, and in fact almost every other description of goods were sent up, the road being literally thronged with trucks, carts, and porters. The most strange part of the affair is that a stretcher for the dead and a hearse were also ordered ; the latter duly appeared, waving its sable plumes, before the gate. All is vain conjecture as to the originator of this suc cessful and novel kind of hoax; but if he ever is discovered, he will require the hide of a rhinoceros to escape harmless from the rage of his dupes.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, NOVEMBER 3, 1842 A succession of boisterous and adverse winds has been the means of keeping vessels with Potatoes from reaching port, so that the quantity in dock for the past few days. has been barely sufficient to supply our town retail trade, this coupled with the late seasonable rains, has kept our neighbouring farmers busily engaged in pre paring their land for winter seed, thereby preventing them also from bringing their usual supplies of any description of produce to our local markets, which has enabled sellers of Potatoes at the quays to realize an advance of 2d to 3d per measure, since this day week. The best'destription sof Niani and Scotch Cups are now ready sale at Is 5d to Is 6d per 901 b. This morning our local markets were better supplied with pro duce than has been the case for some days past. Business closed heavy, and late prices barely sustained.

COTTON AWKET, Novamann 3 The demand for Cotton is very moderate ; prices remain station. ary. Yesterday the sales were 25( bales, and to•day3ooo, all to the trade. The market qniet, but steady. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 31 The supplies of Beasts fresh up to-day, from our own grazing districts, was the largest recollected at the corresponding period during the last 10 years —they considerably exceeded 4,060 head. The quality of the arrivals was, it is true, inferior, yet the effect produced upon the trade was that of extreme heaviness, and, in order to effect sales, au abatement of from 2d to 4d tier Sib was submitted to, and nearly 700 of various breeds were turned out unsold at the close of the market. We had another large supply of Sheep, which were excessively dull in sale, and the rates gave way quite 2d per 81b, the highest price obtained for the best old downs not exceeding 4s 4d per sibs, while a clearance was not effected. The Veal trade was very dull, and the quotations were 2d per 81b lower than on Monday last. In pigs next to nothing was doing, yet the currencies were maintained. From Lincoln shire, Leicestershire, Norihamptoushire, &c., we received 3,200 short horns and runts, 200 Scots, homebreds, &c., from Norfolk, Suffolk. Essex, and Cambridgeshire ; 300 Herefords. Devons, and runts, from our western and midland districts ; 359, of various breeds, from other parts of England; and 10, by sea, from Scot land. By the quantities of Blbs, sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE NOVEMBER 1. Prevented by exceedingly boisterous weather for several days last week, we had very little Grain up to Friday's mar ket; and although the atmosphere has become more genial since, it has not been so tar of sufficient duration to admit of many vessels entering the port; we have, therefore, to state a very scanty supply of Grain from Ireland, and scarcely any either coastwise or from abroad ; a moderate quantity of Irish Flour and Oatmeal, with 7195 barrels of Canadian and 500 sacks of Flour from Venice, forming the principal arrivals since this day se'nnight. Having several country millers, and an average attendance of local buyers, at our Corn Exchange to-day, with a mode rate, but certainly not a lively demand, good Baltic Wheat realised Id to 2d, Mediterranean samples generally 2d to 3d, Irish, upona scanty supply, about 3d, and farmers' Wheat 2d per 701bs over the current rates of this day week, at which, however, the trade closed rather heavily. Flour of all de. scriptions continued to move off in tolerable quantities to consumers, at former prices. Barley, Beans, and Pease remained in much the same state as last week.—Old Malt was dull, and the turn cheaper : of new only one small parcel has yet appeared, and considered to be worth about 57s per quarter.
