The first intimation of this event was made on Tuesday evening last, at a meeting of council, after the public and the press had retired, when the chamberlain was ordered to suspend, in the meantime, all payments, and to proceed, with all possible despatch, in realising the outstanding debts due to the com munity, for the regular payment of the interest on the money borrowed, and other current engagements of the burgh. The first and most palpable effect of this stoppage has been felt by the depositors in the savings' banks, two of which insti tutions are connected with the town, one termed the Cart, and the other the Community Savings' Banks, the objects of which were to raise funds for the improvement of the Cart. When the first rumour of the stoppage got currency, nume rous applications were made by depositors for the amount of their deposits; but all payments were of course refused by the chamberlain, in consequence of the instructions he had received from the council the evening before. The amount of funds in these banks is £19,000. Of the debts proper to the burgh, it is said that one hill of £1,200 is laying over under protest, and another of £4,000 will be due in the course of a few days. Of the causes which have led to this unfor tunate issue, various and very contradictory accounts are given. PROPORTIONS OF DEATHS.—We extract the following from the third annual report of the registrar-general of births, marriages and deaths :—" In the northern counties, 16 in 10,000 males die violent deaths annually ; in Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and the other western counties, 14 ; in Lan cashire and Cheshire, 13 ; in Cornwall and the other south western counties, 11 ; in the metropolis, 8 ; in Easex, Suf folk, and Norfolk, 7. The deaths of females by violence are most numerous in Cheshire, Lancashire, the western coun ties, and Yorkshire, where they are employed in factories, and are exposed to accidents by machinery. In Kent and the other south-eastern counties, 3 females in 10,000 died violent deaths ; in Lancashire and Cheshire, 5 in 10,000 an nually. Mr. Farr gives an abstract of 5,519 cases of violent deaths, showing the ages of the persons. From the table it appears, that of that number two-thirds of the males were aged 20 and upwards, while less than half of the females were of that age. Under 20 the number of males was 1,311; the females, 853. At the age of 20 and upwards the males were 2,650; the females, 705. Nearly half (5,315) of the violent deaths in the country happen to men above 20 years of age; 44 per cent. are 20 and under 60 ; so that, exclusive of sui cides and the deaths at sea, 4,367 men in the prime of life are cut off every year in England by injuries and accidents of various kinds. 86 sailors, watermen, or fishermen died vio lent deaths. 21 engineers, stokers, and firemen were killed in one year in the metropolis, and that chiefly in the steam vessels on the Thames. It is supposed that 1,000 lives are annually lost in sailing vessels alone by shipwreck. It will be found that 2,451 persons are drowned every year is England. CHARTIST MEETINGS.—APPREHENDED DISTURBANCES. —BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY EVENING.—The leaders of the chartists have been actively engaged, during the past week, in organising a plan of operations for carrying out their fa vourite doctrine of " physical force" during the holidays. Aware that a large number of the colliers in the mining dis tricts of Staffordshire were on short time, or out of employ ment, they projected a series of public meetings, with the ostensible view of discussing the question of the charter in Bilston, Wednesbury, and other towns, when, like their co patriots of the " league," they might turn the existing dis tress to advantage, in exciting the people to acts of violence. The first of these meetings took place this morning, at Bil ston, about three or four miles from Wolverhampton, and large numbers of colliers were, in consequence, drawn into the town, which they paraded in bands of from four to five hundred persons, to the great alarm of the inhabitants. The magistrates having early intimation of the movements of the chartists, applied last night to the authorities in Birmingham. and in the course of the morning Mr. Burgess, chief commis sioner of police, and about 150 of the force under his com mand, proceeded to Bilston, to render any aid that might be necessary in preser v i ng th e p eace . A troop o f d ragoons, which have been lately drafted from Birmingham to Wolver hampton. were also kept in readiness ; but, up to four o'clock this evening, no acts of violence have taken place, the mob confining themselves to yells and similar ebullitions of feel ing, in front of the houses of the principal inhabitants, and other persons who are considered obnoxious to the views of Mr. Feargus O'Connor and his myrmidons. The chartists, it is reported, intended to march in a body into Wolverhamp ton to-night; but should they do so, with the view of hold ing one of the torch-light meetings threatened by Mr. O'Con nor during his recent visit to Birmingham, they will meet with a warmer reception than they calculate upon. ALARMING INDISPOSITION OF NINE PERSONS FROM TAKING MUTTON BROTH.—On Monday last, the inmates in the house of Mr. Carman, Faulkner-street, St. Peter's, were thrown into a state of great alarm, caused by the sudden in disposition of nine individuals, shortly after dinner on that day. It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Baker (of the Theatre- Royal), and two daughters, and Mr. and Mrs. H. Holl have apartments at Mr. Carman's; and that, on Monday, at din ner, they, as well as Mr. Carman and his two daughters, partook of some mutton broth, and, shortly afterwards, during dinner, the Misses Baker complained of a sensation of great heat in the throat and stomach. This was followed, almost immediately, by violent vomiting. Mr. Holl was soon afterwards seized with similar symptoms ; and all the persons we have named subsequently experienced more or less severe indisposition, apparently in the same proportion in which they had taken heartily, or otherwise, of the broth. Mr. Holt had a much more severe attack than Mr. Baker. At first, of course, it was difficult to guess which of the viands had thus affected the party ; but Mr. Baker's atten tion was first attracted to the broth, by perceiving a peculiar sweetness in tasting it. Mr. Walker and Mr. Lowe, surge ons, were promptly called in, and they succeeded, by admin istering strong emetics, in placing all the sufferers out of danger. Mr. Baker proceeded to the Theatre, but, after having been there a short time, was obliged to return home, so severe was his indisposition. Mr. Holl, who should also have performed that evening, was also unable to do so, and their parts were filled by other performers ; an announce ment being made to the audience of the cause of this change. There seems strong reason for supposing, that some exeeed ingly deleterious substance, probably arsenic, had, by some means unknown, become mixed with the oatmeal which was used for the thickening of the broth. Messrs. Lowe and Walker took possession of some of this oatmeal, which we believe is to be placed in the hands of Mr. John Davies, chemist, for analysis. There does not appear to be the %lightest ground for suspecting any present inmate of the hones of so serious a crime as the mixing a deadly poison with an articl e o f f oo d : th e oa t mea l h as b een i n t h e h ouse some thee; but at present further observati on on thi s po i n t would be premature. We regret to learn, on making inquiry at Mr. Carman's yesterday afternoon, that, although out of danger, all who partook of the broth are still suffering se verely from the injurious effects of the deleterious substance. We believe Mr. Holl resumed his duties at the theatre last evening, though still exceedingly weak from the attack. Mr. and Mrs. Baker are still confined to the house. One of their daughters had by no means recovered from the more severe On Monday even i ng , a t th e c l ose o f Miss Elle n T ree procee d e d i n her carriage of the anpcoeisst,in. to Mr. Carman's t o make her perso na l i nqu i r i es a f ter th e e th ff e ec p t e s r sufferers ; and Mr. Charles Kean also sent his inquiries.— Manchester Guardian. -A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS."—To judge by the accounts received from the model republic, the Mississippi bonds would seem to offer a strong inducement to capitalists to invest in them. It appears that the state of Mississippi " resists the payment of the 5,000,000 of dollars in state bonds, delivered to the Mississippi Union Bank, and nego tiated by that institution." The governor of the state, who rejoices in the name of M`Nutt, and who, it is said by the Richmond Inquirer, in which his letter is published, " truly understands the feelings and opinions of the people of Mis sissippi,"—is of opinion that the bonds will not be paid, and thus expresses that opinion. "'firmly believe that POOR FIFTHS Of the people of this ENID PREFER GOING TO WAR TO PAYING THE BONDS." There can be little doubt of this,—for where is there to be found so ready a soldier as he who has nothing to lose and all to gain ? The people of Mis sissippi seem to belong to that category of persons of whom the renowned Caleb Baldwin of pugilistic memory was the head, as we find it recorded in heroic verse— " And for settling of balances, all I know is 'Tis the way Caleb Baldwin prefers settling his." This is unquestionably a very satisfactory mode of settling the question,—but we may be permitted to ask with whom are the belligerent Mississippians going to war? Is it Kil kenny-cat fashion, amongst themselves, or do they propose to disturb the harmony of the (Jailed states ?—:'Morning Herald. DARING BURGLARY.—The house of Robert Hughes, a small farmer living at a place called Glascoed fach, on the borders of this county, about four miles from Oswestry, but in the parish of Llansilin, Denbighshire, was entered by a band of ruffians about two o'clock in the morning of Friday last. The burglars must evidently have been acquainted with particulars as to the circumstances of Hughes and his family, for the first thin-. they enquired after was " the money for the cow," he having sold one at the last fair held in this town. Being a careful man he had deposited the proceeds in a bank, and of which they were disappointed. It appears there were four of them in the gang, two of which entered the house, the others remaining outside. With these two the poor fellow and his wife bad a severe encounter, and whom it woultrappear they successfully resisted. The ruf fiant were disguised, and armed with strong crowbars, one of great length, and similar to those used in the limestone quarries of the adjoining neighbourhood. Hughes was most dreadfully abused about the head, and, from the nature of the wounds, being inflicted by such murderous weapons, must have had a miraculous escape. His aged wife did her utmost to assist him, and in return received some very serious con tusions from blows, kicks, &c. Finding themselves nearly worsted they made a signal for another of the party to come to their assistance, and the poor helpless man and his wife were overcome. The villains had their faces blacked, and were otherwise disguised, one of them having his shirt over what other garments he may have worn at the time. Disap pointed, no doubt, at not finding the money poor Hughes had received for his cow, they dealt out their murderous vengeance with a heavy hand, and he survives only by a miracle. His courageous partner fared no better than him self, both, when first seen in the morning, presenting fright. ful spectacles. The robbers took away with them wearing apparel, eight pennyworth of copper, a few pounds of butter, some bacon and salted pork, and other trifling articles. A pretty accurate description of the burglars is given ; and, although on Tuesday morning no tidings had been received of their being taken, strong hopes are entertained of a clue to their detection. In addition to Hughes and his wife, there was a young girl in the house, who fortunately escaped the notice of the robbers. Having had their wounds dressed and promptly attended to by Mr. E. D. Bennion, surgeon, Hughes and his wife are likely to get the better of the dread ful outrage; yet, from the last accounts we have received, the woman is in a very languishing condition. A reward has been offered for the discovery arid apprehension of the parties, and the most praiseworthy exertions were being made by the surrounding neighbourhood to bring them to justice. The crow-bars are supposed to have been stolen from the Treflach lime-stone quarries.—Salopian Journal. DARING AND EXTENSIVE BURGLARY.—One of the most daring outrages ever perpetrated in this country, and more like those which were wont to be committed in Ireland, or by the bandits of Italy or Spain, took place on the night of the 22d instant, at South Wraxhall, near Bath, when five armed burglars broke into the house of John Awdry, Esq., between the hours of eleven and twelve. They had effected an entrance by the parlour window, having forced the shutter and broken a pane of glass. Miss Awdry had retired to her room, where she remained for some time; whilst there she heard a noise in the rooms below, of which she (supposing it was caused by the servants remaining up to iron) did not take much notice ; but the disturbance continuing, she rose from her seat to proceed down stairs to reprove them for making the noise. As she turned towards the door, some one at the outside gave a knock; she immediately opened it, and to her great surprise she found three men and a boy upon, the landing. Two fellows were left below as out-door and in-door watch. With remarkable self-possession Miss Awdry inquired " What do yo want ?" to which one of the men re plied, at the same time menacing her with a pistol, "We want all we can get, and if'you make any noise we will give you the contents of this." The father of the young lady is an aged and infirm gentleman; and Miss Awdry fearful of the conse quences that might result to him, where he to be disturbed by any sudden alarm, submitted to the indignities offered by these ferocious wretches, without a murmur, under a pledge from them that they would not disturb her father. In the first place, they asked her how many there were in the house, and being told only herself, two servants, and her father, they compelled Miss Awdry to precede them to the servants' room ; this done, the girls were awoke and threatened in a similar manner as their mistress. In this room the thieves broke open a box, from which they stole a silver thimble and a shilling belonging to one of the servants. They then (com pelling Miss Awdry to accompany them to point out the pro perty) visited every room, ransacked every drawer, closet, and cupboard, selecting everything which they considered worthy of their notice. In one cupboard they found some brandy and salt, which they drank very speedily, but which they af terwards found to be more troublesome than was anticipated. After taking possession of gold and silver plate, and other ar ticles, to the number of 222, they sat themselves down in one of the rooms, and with the most perfect nonchalance ordered Miss Awdry to bring them money and wine, at the same time again showing the pistol ; the sideboard was at once unlocked, and two decanters of wine placed upon the table, accom panied by £l5. This money did not satisfy the wretches, and they demanded more. Miss Awdry remarked that she had no more, when they threatened that they " would go up to the old man ;" and that if she resisted they would shoot her. "Do as you please with me, but don't go near my fa ther," was the answer of the affectionate daughter ; and she went to her father's room to look for more money. She re turned with £l5 more, but that did not satisfy the villains, who swore that they must have some more " to drink her health with." Finding that, remonstrance would be in vain, Miss Awdry went a second time to her father's room, and took from his pocket one sovereign and some silver, which she gave to them ; after which they wished her good morn ing, and left the house with their valuable booty. M os t o f the plate stolen is marked with a lion's head in a Dncal Co ronet. The daring character of the outrage has greatly alarmed all the neighbourhood about Bradford, more espe cially those inhabiting solitary houses, whose inmates dread a similar midnight visit from a gang whose numbers are suffi cient to overpower a whole family. £25 is offered as a re. ward for the detection of the villains, who are thought to be London thieves, and it is to be hoped that the county of Wilts will see ie propriety of raising the reward to 4;100. The police of this and all the adjoining counties are duly ap prised of these circumstances, and we sincerely wish that the villains may speedily be captured.—Worcester Journal, heard respecting it than he had in believing that be was then addressing them." Then, again, the manure will be exceed ingly cheap, the cost per acre being estimated at between Iss. and 20s. ; it is light in its bulk, and can be conveyed at a small cost to different parts of the country. We lire glad to find that experiments are about to be tried by several of the principal agriculturists of the kingdom. At a meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, held at London on the 11th instant, the Duke of Richmond said, " He would try it on any land the party liked ; he had some very poor and some %ery good land, and he would make a very fair re port of the result. His lordship had no doubt that his noble friends, Earl Spencer and Earl Ducie, would try it also, and then all could make report." In our own neighbourhood, William Miles, Esq., and Captain Scobell, are about to try it ; therefore, ere the lapse of another year, we shall be put in possession of the results of the various experiments, which, if they should prove favourable (and at present we see no reason to doubt it), will confer incalculable benefits upon the agriculture of this country ; so that, in the lan guage of Mr. Miles, " England will not only grow wheat sufficient for its own population, bat will become an export ing country."—Bristol Mirror. A ROMANTIC STORY.—A Bayonne journal gives the fol lowing romantic tale from the Aldudes :—" In the valley of the Bastan lived two brothers on the most affectionate terms, occupying the cottage, and enjoying the small pro perty left them by their parents, in common. Ramon, the eldest, was a robust man, cultivating the land, leading the cattle to pasture, and seldom returning home without game of his own killing. Many a wolf fell from the bullets of his gun, or his iron-shod staff. Antonio, the younger, was less in size and strength, amiable, contenting himself with per forming domestic duties, even works of the needle, consult ing in all things the tastes and comforts of his more hardy brother. Antonio had been taught to read, and thereby was enabled to amuse Ramon during long winter evenings, while he was mending his nets and tackle. In a cottage near them resided a respectable family of Saville, composed of a father, mother, and three daughters. Mariana, the eldest, acknow ledged to be the prettiest girl of the valley, not only managed the household affairs of her own dwelling, but frequently aided Antonio with her advice. In time, Antonio became enamoured of Mariana, and made a confidant of his brother, who, approving his choice, urged him to declare his love. The timidity of the youth, however, prevented him from speaks ing, and be at length was so melancholy from the weight of his love, that Ramon determined to go and demand Mariana in marriage for Antonio. The parents raised no objections to the match, and said they would refer to their daughter. Days and nights passed away, and no answer was sent, al though Mariana continued her accustomed assiduities at the cottage of the brothers. Antonio at length was so reduced by this suspense that he took to his bed. On seeing his dis tress Ramon threW aside all his Spanish haughtiness, and went again to his neighbours to require their answer. He was aiain referred to - Mariana, whom he reproached with her obduracy. Thus pressed, Mariana declared that she loved another, and, hiding her face from shame, avowed that other to be Ramon ! Overwhelmed as by a thunder bolt, the unhappy youth, uttering some incoherent expres sions, rushed to the bedside of his brother, told in two words the fatal truth, and dropped lifeless on the floor. Antonio became frenzied, and has since expired, also raving out the name of his beloved brother. They have both been interred in the same grave ; and, in three days afterwards, Mariana died of grief for the loss of Ramon." SINGULAR DEATH.—A lady arrived in Exeter last Mon day week, bringing a female servant with her. On the day after her arrival, the latter broke a looking-glass. She be came greatly alarmed at the trifling accident, covered the glass over with a handkerchief, and turned it to the wall that she might not see it. _ She expressed her conviction that it foreboded a life of trouble andinisfortune, and couid not dis- miss the subject from her mind. She said " she should never prosper in the world again." Haunted by this idea, she be came sad and dejected, and went to bed on the Wednesday, two days after the accident, poorly and miserable, retiring earlier than usual on account of her illness. The next day she was worse, and her mistress desired her not to get up. On Friday one of the most experienced of the medical gentle men of the city was called in. He found her free from bodily pain, but suffering under a perfect prostration of strength and spirits. She continued to sink till twelve o'clock the next day, .when she expired, a victim to the absurd supersti tion of the dreadful consequences of breaking a looking glass.—Hampshire Standard. THE TWEED BANK.—The first meeting of the credit Ors of Messrs. W. S. Batson, J. Wilson, and J. Longhorn, part ners in the Tweed Bank, Berwick, bankrupts, was held at the large assembly-room of the King's Arms Inn, in that town, on Wednesday, for the purpose of receiving proofs of debts and appointing assignees. The room was crowded to excess with anxious creditors, from town and country, throughout the day ; and, after sitting from ten o'clock in the morning till eight at night receiving proofs of debts, the commissioners adjourned the meeting until the following morning, when the business of admitting claims was resumed, and at its close the assignees were elected. The amount of proofs admitted on Wednesday and Thursday was very large, and it waa thought that the liabilities of the bank would amount to nearly £350,000. The deposits prove to be very heavy indeed, and the note circulation is also considerable. There are several large debtors to the estate, and as to the amount of dividend much must, of course, depend upon their ability to discharge, or satisfactorily compound, their obliga tions. It is believed, however, that the assets are considera ble, and that they will be divided with all practicable de spatch.—Scotch paper. MURDER OF THE BOY THOMAS MAGUIRE.--SiDCe the holding of the inquest on the remains of the above ill-fated child the county coroner, Mr. James M'Carthy, M.D., has been indefatigable in attending to every information calcu lated to throw any light that might possibly lead to the dis covery of the perpetrator of the atrocious murder. Ad ditional depositions to those given on the inquest have from day to day been received by him in his magisterial capacity. Some portion of this goes strongly in corroboration of the former evidence, establishing the fact of the boy having been seen with the prisoner Delahunt, shortly prior to the dis covery of the body in the lane off Pembroke road : while other portions of these subsequent informations refer to different points bearing on the case. We select the follow ing: —James Maguire, a market boy, living at 4, Cherry-lane, Great Britain-street, was, in consequence or a statement made by him to the coroner, sent on Thursday to Kilmain ham prison, where, amongst seven or eight other persons, he he at once identified the prisoner John Delahunt, and whom he deposed to having seen, on the afternoon of Monday last, at halt-past five o'clock, enter Mr. Drake's public-house, in Capel-street, with a boy, answering generally to the des cription of the deceased Thomas Maguire, whose body he had viewed also on Thursday at the Irishtown police station house. Soon after entering the public-house Delahunt went out, leaving the boy behind him ; he returned in about a quarter of an hour, and, without mentioning any name, desired the child to come away; the little fellow did so, and they left the place. It appeared that a boy named Butler, living in Plun ket-st., had stated that on Monday he saw a man go up to the deceased, who was at the time at play with other children in Francis-street, and call him by his name, Thomas Maguire, telling him to go with him, which the other did. An infor mation was sworn by Thomas Gavan, aged 10 years, from which it appeared that while he and two other boys, named Michael Harney and John Hand, were at play in the field described at the inquest as adjoining the lane off Pembroke road, in which the murder had been committed, he found, within a few yards of the wall bounding the lane, a knife. The knife was produced. It appeared to be an ordinary breakfast knife, having a white haft, the blade rather consi derably worn, and narrowed very much towards the point, but the edge not particularly sharp. Some parts of the blade bore marks strongly resembling blood stains. There was further evidence besides that adduced before the coroner in the first instance, showing that the deceased had been seen late in the afternoon of Monday, in company with Delahunt, in the neighbourhood of Baggot-street. A person named James Mooney, resident in Eastmorland-street, deposed, on Monday last, that on M on d ay even i ng, t h e 20 t h ins t an t, at about ten minutes to seven o'clock, he saw John Delahunt, whom he had known by sight for some three or four weeks previously, walking up and down in a stable lane off East morland.lanc. The foregoing comprises the principal of the facts elicited since Monday last. On Christmas morning the body of the murdered boy (which had lain at the Irish town police station-house since the view of it by the jury on Tuesday), was consigned to the grave in St. Kevin's Church yard.—. Dublin Freeman's Journal. DEATII OF MR. CHARLES SCOTT.—How vain are often our most cherished hopes and ambition ! Sir Walter Scott expected—toiled—and died—to found an estate. His family was then numerous, and the Scotts of Abbotsford were, in his imagination to rival any of the border chiefs of the olden time. A long line of descendants would regard him, .the poet founder of the family, with pride and veneration ! It seems certain, now, that the direct succession will not con tinue beyond the present generation. His eldest son has no family ; the second has died in a foreign country without issue ; both his daughters are dead. Misfortune and death have lowered the crest of Abbotsford—and the halls which Sir Walter took such pride in rearing, will scarcely e ver b e again trod by one of his children. The only survivor is now in India. Mr. Charles Scott was in his thirty-sixth year. H e was of a reserved and diffident temper and disposition, but possessed of considerable intelligence, and a fund of quiet humour, which he delighted to exercise among his ; private friends. He was carefully educated at Oxford, but from his unobtrusive manner and retired habits,was little known, and made no exertion, beyond his official duties and a few of his Mends and relations.—lnverness Courier. The country dealers as usual during Christmas week, continue to buy very sparingly, which causes a greater bulk to be thrown at the present on the retail market, but the den and for town con sumption continues steady, yet from the above cause, the business doing is more circumscribed, although we cannot note any mate rial reduction in price since our last quotations :—viz. Maux, Scotch and Irish Cups is lld to 2s id; round and rough Reds 2s Id to 2s 3d ; Seedlings 2s 2d to 2s 4d per yolks. There continues a very good demand for our neighbouring farm produce, which realize the following prices :—viz. Pink eyed Po tatoes 25 3d to 2s ; Cups 2s to 2s 3d ; Short-tops Is lldto 2s 2d; Cattle Is 7d to is 10d per 201 b. Turnips 22s to 925 Ed; Mangle wurzle 20s; Carrots ns to 42s per ton. Old Hay 8d to Ind; new fid to I,d; Clover 7d to lld per 201bs. Wheat Straw 4d to sd, Oat aid 4d; Barley ltd to lid per 24Ibs. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 28. The arrivals, Coastwise and from Ireland, since this day week contain a fair accession of Wheat, Barley, and Flour, with a moderate quantity of Oats, and a large increase of Oatmeal. From Canada, the United States, and Continent of Europe, collectively, the import of Wheat, Pease, and Flour is considerable, which, with several parcels of foreign Barley and Beans, furnish altogether an abundant supply. To meet these accumulations, and a liberal display of sam ples from granary, our market this morning was well attended, and, at a decline of 2s per 701bs from the rates of this day week, the general runs of foreign Wheat were taken of by town and country millers more freely than of late, and with several purchases for Ireland, a fair extent of business was transacted in these descriptions ; but not much in English and very little in Irish, the inferior qualities of the latter being nearly unsaleable. In foreign Wheat under bond to arrive, no further sales have transpired. English, Irish, and duty paid foreign Flour remained in the same state as described in Friday's report. Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease continued to be scarcely noticed, and each may be considered is per qr cheaper. Oats, upon a very dull sale, were rather depressed in va lue, and. Oatmeal, being much neglected, was offered with very little effect, at an abatement of 6d per 2401b5. PRICES OF TIMBER AT LIVERPOOL. *WooD, Deals, 120 stand. in. duty paid Duty.

NORTON STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER, DEC 29.—Although this is a period of Thich any great degree of activity is hardly to there have been within the last two or three be expect( dal MISCELLANEOUS Cowslips and wild strawberries, in fine perfection, were gathered last week at Bullermoor, and at Crawford Farm, near Northallerton. REMARKABLE CLOSING OF A COAL-MINE.—On Tuesday, whilst the workmen of the coal-pit of Mr. J ohn Buckley, at Marl Field, Cronipton, were absent from the mine, the shaft suddenly closed up, so that the coal-pit was entirely destroyed. About X4OO is said to have been expended in forming this now extinct colliery. The number of paper mills throughout the kingdom amounts to about 300; of these only 120 are in operation. At Maidstone. where paper is the staple manufacture, only 23 vats out of 51 are used, and out of seven machines only one is at work. It is a remarkable circumstance that since the great earth quake in 1827, no wheat will grow on the coast of Peru. In some places, indeed, a little is raised ; but it is very unpro ductive. Rice, on the contrary, yields a great return. Be fore the earthquake one grain of wheat yielded 200 grains. The death of Lord Douglas Halyburton, late M.P. for For farshire, took place on the evening of Christmas Day, at nine p.m., at his lordship's town residence, Warren's Hotel, Re gent-street. TESTIMONIAL TO THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM AND CHANDOS.—It is arranged that the dinner to the above no bleman, at which his grace is to be presented with a testimo nial from the agriculturists of England, shall take place on the 11th of February next. The steam-ship Savannah, from New York for New Or leans, sprang a leak in a gale off Cape Hatteras, and shortly afterwards sank. Part of the crew and passengers saved themselves in a boat, which fortunately fell in with a brig. Several people were left on the wreck ; they had a boat, but whether they betook themselves to it was doubtful. The Savannah was commanded by Captain Crane, who is well known in London. He, his lady, and son, were among the persons saved. ACCIDENT AT NIAGARA FALLS.—The Buffalo papers relate, that a boat with three men went over the Falls of Niagara, on the night of Monday, the 22d of November. They had started from Schlosser at nine o'clock, intending to cross over to Hudson's Tavern, two miles above Chip pewa. Shortly after they left the shore, cries from the river were heard at Field's tavern near by, but excited no atten tion, as similar noises are very common in that quarter from boatmen passing to and fro. No suspicion of the accident arose until Thursday, when evidence of the fate of the boat and her crew was presented in the fragments found in the eddy below the Falls. It is supposed that the boat was struck by a squall, and being heavily loaded, sank ; the men on board being swept away by the relentless current down the American rapids and over the frightful precipice below ! The names of the two were J. D. Kinney and J. York, and the other was a stranger, who had merely taken passage for Canada. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE OF THE REV. CANON ROGERS AND HIS SON FROM DROWNING.—The Rev. William Rogers, son of the Rev. Canon Rogers, having been appointed to the curacy of Cury and Gunwalle, the duties of which, from ill health, Mr. Stephenson had been unable to perform, on Sun day, the 28th ult., the canon assisted his son at Cury church. In returning to the mansion-house at Penrose, they took the shortest road towards the Loe Bar. When they arrived there the water was flowing over the bar, but they thought they could pass. Mr. William Rogers, however, first went for ward, in order to ascertain the depth of the water, but in consequence of the insecure footing was presently unhorsed, and had he not been an expert swimmer, would inevita have been drowned. The father's feelings, as he be sun buffeting with the waves, may be more easily don ed than described ; he had, however, at length the inexpressible satisfaction of seeing him in safety reach the opposite bank, when the canon turned round his horse, and by a more cir cuitous but less dangerous route reached house. The horse Mr. Win. Rogers rode made his way to the stable at Penrose, where his appearance, without his master, occasioned no small consternation in the family.—Bristol Mirror. FALMOUTH, DEC. 26.—We have an arrival to-day of the Star packet, Lieutenant Smith, from Mexico, with dates from Tampico of the 7th ult., Vera Cruz of the 16th, and Havan nah the 26th, and bringing 150,000 dollars only. In poli tics we have little news from this quarter, and as regards commercial matters the reduction of the consumo duty to the old scale bad given a new impulse to the trade of the repub lic, and considerable quantities of manufactured goods of all descriptions had lately been sent into the interior, which in some measure tended to relieve the heavy stocks on the coast. Nevertheless, the market at Vera Cruz still remidned in a state of great depression, and sales had not improved. Prices in general were consequently very low. A new law had been published in Mexico, according to which all ordi nary cotton goods imported into that country which came under the act of prohibition, were henceforth to be burnt, by the custom-house ; the importers to be made liable, not only for the duties, but also to a fine equal to the value of the goods at the place of importation. It was not expressed in this law whether it was to take effect immediately, or whe ther its application only was to begin after the expiration of six months usually granted for the alteration of any tariff. On the other hand, some reforms in the tariff, beneficial to foreign trade, were spoken of, but it was doubtful their being carried into effect. The Montrose steamer, with the Penin sular mails, has not yet arrived though now due a week. It is supposed she has met with an accident to her machinery, which obliged her to return to port. Such occurrences are not unfrequent during the winter season. P. esident Dwight, of New Haven, quantity of waterprecipitated over the falls, at NIACIARA PALI 11,202,375 tons pip hour; and barby calculates the mass to make 1,672,703,000 cubic feet per hour; while another au thor, Picken, makes the quantity to be 113,510,000 gallons, or 18,524,000 cubic feet per minute. THE RECENT MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT ON TIIE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The coroner's jury in this case awarded the " deodand of £lOOO on the engine, tender, and carriages, on the grounds that more watchmen should have been employed to watch the cutting, and the danger of placing the passengers next the engine, with a recommendation that a portion of the spoil-hank be removed from the sides of the road." THE EXCHEQUER BILL FRAUD.—Amongst the victims cf this heartless robbery is a major in the army, who had nearly £40,000 worth of the forged Exchequer-hills. Thus has a brave and veteran officer been suddenly reduced from afflu ence to poverty. No doubt an appeal will one of these days appear in our journals in behalf of the destitute family of this gallant but now pauperised man. This is not an isolated case ; others, equally heart-rending, are connected with that diabolical fraud. ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENON.—On Tuesday night, about eight o'clock, a band of fire, apparently about a yard in length, its sides having somewhat the appearance of a big. bellied bottle, its mouth resembling a large trumpet, and its top tapering towards a point was observed slowly, and in a perpendicular direction, to descend almost immediately above the Clyde, betwixt Hutchinson's-bridge and Peat-bog. Having approached, as it seemed in the distance, to within a few yards of the stream, it instantaneously burst asunder like a huge firework, and almost instantaneously vanished. Persons at a distance, ignorant of the cause, imagined that it was a vivid flash of lightning, its reflection, ou bursting, having spread a luried glareover the prevailing wintry gloom. —Glasgow paper. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—A woman, named Mary Stewart or Pebbles, residing in the Wallace Fens, was found lying lifeless in bed, betwixt her two children, on the morning of Thursday week. It is thought that she died from utter starvation, her husband, James Pebbles, a labourer, having deserted her without making the smallest provision for her or her family. She had become sickly, and had received a small sum for her support from the Kirk-Session ; but the man returned, and the poor woman's pittance was withdrawn. In this helpless condition, with increasing sickness, the cold hearted villain again abandoned her; and, after disposing of the whole of her household effects, she had to have recourse to the cold hand of charity, which, in her distressed condi tion, she found it impossible to do.-,Dundee Advertiser. A singular occurrence took place in the church of Brom yard during the morning service on Christmas day, in con sequence of a lad, about 14 years of age, having inconsider ately placed in his waistcoat pocket a quantity of lucifer matches with phosphorus, which by casual friction became ignited. The congregation were suddenly alarmed at seeing a dense smoke issuing from the pew in which the family were sitting, and for several minutes much confusion 'prevailed. Of necessity the service was suspended, whilst the vicar and many of the parishioners were endeavouring to prevent the congregation from rushing out of their seats, uader the ap prehension that the building was on fire; and by these means and by the exertions of those immediately on the spot, the alarm subsided with comparatively slight personal injury to any one. The fright and confusion however tended to un settle the feelings of the whole congregation, and the effluvia from the phosphorus continued to affect many of them during the continuance of divine service.-- Worcester Journal. SLAUGHTER-HOUSE MASTERS.—By the term "slaughter house masters," I mean a race of mean, selfish, but rich men, who have usurped the place of our " old English mer chants," who collect every branch of trade into one focus, who have immense wealth, and are ever on the look out, in every market, for " cheap goods," i. e. for poor manufaCtu rers, who are in difficulties. From these men they purchase (or in more proper terms, they rob and steal, by taking ad vantage of their distress) large quantities of goods at thirty, forty, or fi fty per cent. below " cost prices. ' These goods are then re-sold by them, at a profit, but still under the price which they cost the manufacturer. The fair trader is then shown these " cheap" articles, by his own customers, who have purchased them of the slaughter-house men, and, though he is not himself a needy man, he is, of course, obliged to lower the price of his own goods, and when he returns home, he is forced to reduce the wages to his work-people, or he must give up manufacturing.--Oast/er'a Fleet Papers. At the farm•steading of Mr. Douglas, of Kirkaldy, a hen lately took up her abode with a young pig, and laid an egg every morning, which grumpily as regularly made his break fast of. The hen, after sitting the usual period, walked out with the pig (she having, as she seemed to assume, batched him). and she now goes about, cluck, clucking, with her four footed brood, and feeds him in the usual way a hen does her chickens. He lies at night with his head under her wing (being two or three times as big as herself), and if any person attempts to touch him, she flies at them furiously. Some times, when going about the doors with him, he takes it in his head to have a dance, when she seems a little astonished, and runs backwards and forwards after him, trying to check bis daffin' •, but in vain until it suits himself. He proves a most unruly and ungrateful fellow ; for, notwithstanding all her care and attention, he goes off and leaves her sometimes, at which she appears to be very uneasy. She feeds out of the same trough with him, and when she gets a particularly good piece, she ticks, ticks, until he comes and takes it from her. —Scotch Paper. A well-known character, called " Old Blanket Halt,' lied lately at Witney, at the advanced age of 120. He lived at the reigns of seven sovereigns. His great age may be . oartly ascribed to letters patent granted him by Queen Anne herself, and the old gentleman prided himself on a fine por trait of her majesty, given to him many years ago, by one of iter old stewards, Earl Harcourt. He was much pressed to join the teetotal society, but the venerable patriarch shook his head and said, it was too late for him to be g in, and that he bad belonged to - the old school too long for any such change to have any good effect on him. A threatened dis traint for poor-rates was the immediate cause of his some what sudden decease. To some individuals who wished him to join the teetotallers he has left his pump and rain-water butt.—Oxford Herald. The Dublin Slatesnian contains a correspondence illustra tive of the system of papal government in her majesty's dominions. The parties to the correspondence are Lord Clifford and the lion. Mr. Cavendish, proprietor and editor of a Mayo newspaper. It appears that Dr. 0' Finan, a very amiable gentleman, known to Lord Clifford, was some years ago titular bishOp of Killala, when he was libelled in Mr. Cavendish's newspaper, brought an action against Mr. Ca vendish, and recovered £5OO damages. It was discovered in the course of the trial that the author of the libel was a Ro man catholic priest. A false version of the story, in which the libeller priest was made the defendant, instead of Mr. Cavendish, was carried to the Pope, who, by the advice of his cardinals, deprived Dr. 0' Finan of his titular bishopric, and deprived the rev. gentleman has been for many years. The fact of the misrepresentation came to Lord Clifford's know ledge during a late visit to Rome, and his lordship, interested for his old friend, calls upon Mr. Cavendish to state the trnth—a demand with which that gentleman promptly corn plies.—There arc two things remarkable in this affair ; first, the extreme negligence of justice with which the See of Rome exercises its tyranny in her majesty's dominions. Dr. 0' Finan is permitted to suffer for years under the effect of a mistranslation, as Mr. Thomas Hood would say, the only translation injurious to a bishop. The second and more im portant consideration, however, is the insult, approaching to a declaration of war, offered to the British throne, in the cause assigned, falsely as it happened, for Dr. 0' Finan's punishment,—he " had brought an action against a priest before a lay protestant tribunal." This is, we suppose, enough to show the spirit of the papacy, even in the middle of the nineteenth century. STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON RAILWAY.—One of the most singular effects of railways upon the growth of towns is to found at Middlesborough, a shipping port, on a branch of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. This little town lit the terminus of the Darlington and Stockton Railway, from which there is a branch to Middlesborough, has sprung completely into existence in the course of about ten years, and now numbers about 5,000 inhabitants, with a church, market, and all the appurtenances of a town of active indus tri and business. Many of its houses • bear the appearance of being occupied by persons in very comfortable circum stances, and the town looks more like one of settled and matured habits than ,of recent growth. It is a good speci men of what trade induced by railways can do, although it is only fair to state that prosperity is in some measure arising from larger ships being enabled to lie there than at Stockton. —Northern Times. THE New MANURE.—We have received several commu nications during the past week, relative to the discovery of a new manure, by Mr. Daniel, of Twerton, which we reported fully last week in the proceedings of the Bristol Agricultural Society. We have it asserted by himself, that upon land of a very inferior quality—which ought not to be sown with wheat more than once in four or five years—he raised four successiv crops of wheat, averaging from five to six sacks per acre, and weighing 641bs. per bushel ; and he calculates that the crop for 1841 would be seven sacks. He further adds, that the crop of straw in each year was exceedingly heavy, quite equal alone in value to any one entire crop of grain or other produce grown on the land during the uine years which he possessed it. Moreover, we have the statement of a gen tleman, with a mind free froni all bias; and one fully compe tent to judge, that the land upon which Mr. Daniel has tried his experiment, is in a bad situation, that it is of a bad character, and that "according to the rules of good cultiva tion, wheat ought not to have been grown upon it more than once in four or five years ;" * * * " yet upon this land, without having the advantage of good cultivation (for Mr. Daniel is a bad farmer), he could say the amount of wheat grown was above the average crop of the United Kingdom on its average soil—viz., 641 b. per bushel; and these results had been produced with a diminution of the seed applied of two thirds." ** * "He has seen the ears of corn growing on the land, and he had no more hesitation in believing all he 4 , l)ipping ~--~-_ TUESDAY, DECEMBXR 28.—Wind N.W. moderare Anaivi Bell, front Antigua—Connodore.

Wheat, old, la 751 E 9 3 - 10 0 Oats, old,; , ) , 501 b Beans, 6011) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 28 A fair and steady Cotton market to-day, fully 2500 to 3000 bales sold, at yesterday's prices for all descritious. Some inquiry on speculation account to-day, but what was done has not transpired yet. COTTON MARKET. Discemniat 30, The sales since Deeeinher 24 have been 25,050 hags, of which 6000 are sold to-day. Prices are advanced id per lb. Arrived, I u vessels from the United States, 1 Brazil, add 2 from the West Indies. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 29 There has been a smaller show of both Beasts and Sheep to-day than for some weeks past, and the quality of both very inferior. The demand, hoWever, was not so good as last week. but still good enough for the supply. Prime Beef met ready sale, 'and brought 7d per lb., and prime Weather Mutton bid to 7d per lb. Every thing well sold up. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALLOW MARKET, DEC. 29. Short-horned Hydes sold this day at I2s each ; Hydes 6d to 7ulbs. 3d per lb., 721bs. and upwards aid per lb.; large skins (Irish and Yorkshire) 4s to 55 6d ; Cheviots and half-bred 3s to 4s 6d ; Scotch 2s to 35. Tallow 5s per stone of I4lbs. DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 28 We have had a small supply of Wheat at market this day, and although the demand was bad, we do not alter our previous quota tions. Prime samples of Oats sell freely, but middling and ordinary lots extremely dull. Oatmeal without alteration in value. Bakers' Four iu fair request at last day's rate.—inferiors and thirds met a reduction of I s per cwt. BELFAST CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 28 There has been a moderate supply of farmers' Wheat at market, which meets a fair demand at former rates ; in parcels ex ship or store there is very little passing. Foreign Wheat also in very little request, at previous prices. Barley in very little demand, although we are unable to alter the quotations. Malt very little inquired for, at ass to sos per barrel of 17olbs. Oats command last week's rates, with a steady demand ; in parcels but few transactions. Oatmeal without change in value, but little speculation in this article. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 27. In our market of to-day the supply of Beasts was miserably de ficient, both as respects numbers and quality, yet, owing to the unusually thin attendance of buyers, it was more than adequate to the demand. So heavy was the inquiry that up to twelve o'clock scarcely more than 200 Beasts had been disposed of, and those at a reduction on last week's figures of full 2d per 81bs, and a large number was turned out unsold. Sheep were tolerably plentiful, while the inquiry for them was extremely inanimate, at almost nominal rates. In Calves exceedingly little doing, at previous currencies. Neat small Porkers were fully as dear, but other Pigs were a mere drug. By the quantities of 81bs, sinking the offal. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, DEC: 27. The supply of English Wheat continues moderate, and last Mon. day's currency is fully supported. Foreign sells in retail quantities at the prices of last week ; there is some inquiry for bonded with out much being done, owing to the high prices demanded. The quantity of Barley offering is large, and sales are slow at Is decline, and in some instances a greater reduction has been submitted to. White Peas are is to 2s lower ; maple and grey remain the same. Beans of all sorts are inclining downwards. The Oat trade remains in the same dull state. WEDNESDAY, Dec. 29. The supplies are good this morning, and the samples are im proved in appearance, particularly the Irish Oats ; but the trade is extremely heavy at the rates of last market day. Fine foreign Wheat continues to be held at excessive prices, and the business is consequently limited to the smallest supplies for immediate use. HULL CORN MARKET, DEC. 28. At this season of the year the general trade of the country is usually dull, and but little passing—this particularly applies to the present state of the Corn trade, for since our report of last Tuesday, there has been scarcely a business transaction, and prices of all grain may be considered without alteration. There is no home de mand for Rapeseed at this moment; but a few sales have been made for export, at the above quotations, less the duty, In Linseed but little doing, and prices unaltered. Linseed cake in limited demand at late prices. Nothing doing in Rape cake. To-day may be quite called a holiday market, from the little business passing. Old foreign Wheat is not altered in value, and when sales can be made late prices are fully paid. The shew of farmers' Wheat is moderate, the best samples bring fully last week's prices : second qualitiei, and thoie wanting condition, with difficulty Snd buyers. Oats and Beans are both dull, and but little passing in either. No sales of Barley, unless of the best malting quality, and even this description with difficulty holds last week's prices. During the past week we have had almost every variety of weather; the early part of which we had sharp frost, the latter part mild weather; to-day there is again indication of frost.
