Warp* THE CHRISTIAN WARFARE AND TRIUMPH. There is a warfare man is doomed to wage 'Gainst direful foes,—a multitudinous host, Malignant, subtle, fierce, implacable, 'Gainst odds, how fearful ! principalities, And heaven-born powers, in number numberless, And ift their nature, and the scale of being, Far, far above the earth-born creature, man : And he, their chief, all but omnipotent, And seems übiquitous, —roaming the earth Invisible, on murderous deeds intent, Like to a lion greedy of his prey, Or like a ravening wolf, that darkly prowls With stealthy pace, or leaps into the fold, Or tiger fell, that sports with agony, Cruel as death, insatiate as the grave, In whom all fiendish hell-born passions rage, But most revenge and hate, the twin-born brood Of mad despair, and deathless as their sire. Yet man, tho' fallen (and therefore weak and frail) Fallen, like his foes too, from his first estate, • And with innumerous evils compassed round, And inbred foes as numerous,—traitors foul,— Fall'n, yet renewed with more than mortal strength, An earthen vessel filled with power divine, — A mortal strengthened with the strength of God, — He fights the goodly fight of faith, till death, Comes off victorious, more than conqueror O'er all his enemies,—then lays aside His helmet, shield, and spear (his warfare o'er) His borrowed panoply of heavenly proof, And, wearied out with conflict, sighs for rest, Whilst Death, a kind and friendly servitor, With gentle hand strips off his mortal weeds, That he may sleep in peace a little while, In Hades' dark domain, until the dawn Of that blest day, when, at the trumpet's sound, Whose blast shall wake the dead, he shall awake And rise again, renewed with god-like strength, And put on robes of immortality, And on his head a pure celestial crown, A royal diadem ; the victor's prize ; And hail the prophet's glorious boast fulfilled, " 0 grave ! where is thy victory ? 0 death ! Where is thv sting ?" and be henceforth, for aye, A king and - priest of God.—the high compeer Of holy angels, if not more exalt, As heir of God, joint-heir with Christ, his Lord, To share his glorious reign,—his mundane reign Of righteousness, and peace, and joy, and love : Wheu God, Immanuel, shall dwell with man, And man with God,—the blest inhabitant Of that fair city, new Jerusalem, Doomed to descend from God,—from heaven to earth, To earth renewed, and paradise restored, — A kingdom incorruptible and pure, That fadeth not away,—blest heritage ! Prepared before the world's foundation was, Won from the foul usurper's tyrant thrall By Him, ordained to bruise the serpent's head, The woman's seed, Messiah, David's son, And David's Lord ; and who, on David's throne, Shall reign the King of kings, and Lord of lot ds, Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, The Prince of Peace, whose blest millennial reign Shall be the foretaste, earnest, pledge, and seal, Of man's eternal heritage,—the dawn That ushers in the Everlasting age Of heavenly joy, and beatific bliss ; When (all his enemies subdued) the Son Shall render up the kingdom unto God, That God the Father may be all in all. Douglas, May 14, 1842. G. H. W. A MOTHER'S EVENING THOUGHTS. BY MRS. SIGOURNEY. 0, homefelt joys, so 'dear, so sweet, My clear wood fire beside, My baby creeping at my feet, Who oft with glance of pride Looks back elate and pleased to show How fast his tiny limbs can go. And closely seated by my side, My little daughter fair, Whose doll upon her knee doth ride, Essays a matron's care ; While many a lesson, half severe, With kisses mixed, must Dolly hear. There lie my volumes closed and still, Those chosen friends of old ; My pen, regardless of my will. Lurks in its bronzed hold ; High joys they gave ; but not so dear As those that gild my fireside here. Where harp and viol carol sweet, 'Mid youth's unfolding hours, And gladness wings the dancer's feet, That seem to tread on flowers, I've shared the cup ; it sparkled clear ; 'Twas foam ; the precious draught is here. I've trod the lofty halls, where dwell The noblest of our land; And met, though humble was my cell, Warm smile and greeting hail(' ; Yet doth she feel a thrill more blest, Who lulls her infant on her breast. Strong words of praise, such words as gird To high ambition's deed, The impulse of my mind have stirred, Though still unearned their meed ; But what of these? they fleet away, Like mist before affection's ray. Though many a priceless gem of bliss • Hath made my pathway fair, Yet I have known no joy like this, A mother's nursing care, To mark, when stars of midnight shine, My infant's bright eye fixed on mine. Might woman win earth's richest rose, Yet miss that 'wild-flower zest, Which by the lowly cradle grows, 'Twere but a loss at best Pass on, 0 world,ln all thy pride, I've made my choice, and here abide. Even she, who shines with beauty's ray, By fashion's throng carest, If from that pomp she turn away, And build her shelter d nest, And hoard the jewels of the heart, Like Mary finds the better part. —American Paper. LITERARY NOTICES. Abbotiford Edition of Waverley, Nos. 8 and 9. Robert Cadell, Edinburgh ; Houlston and Stoneman, London. We have received Nos. 8 and 9 of this splendidly illus trated edition, and can conscientiously state that it improves as the publication progresses. The present numbers contain a portion of Guy Mannering ; and, in addition to the beau tiful steel engravings which accompany each number, the woodcuts in each are of the highest class of excellence. In particular we may mention the portraitures of Dominie Sampson, Meg Merrilies, and Dirk Hatteraick, which bring these well-known characters before us just as we have pic tured them in our mind's eye, or, rather, as the great magi cian has painted them for us. The golfing scene brings to our mind for the first time a vivid picture of an amusement which we have hitherto only imagined. The gem, however, is contained in the last number, and consists of the inimitable representation of Counsellor Pleydell seated at his game of high jinks, surrounded by his learned subjects, with the im mortal Dandie Dinmont, in boots, spurs, whip and all, a delighted spectator of the wondrous scene. The figure of the Liddlesdale Yeoman alone is worth the price of the number. The New Statistical Account of Scotland. Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London. We received No. XXXVIII. of this excellent work, con taining the conclusion of Banff, and part of the county of Aberdeen. The information of every parish, its topography, natural productions, agricultural and other resources ; the number, customs, and condition of its inhabitants, and its civil history, its eminent men, its objects of antiquity or in terest, and its capabilities of improvement, forms a body of information that cannot but be highly valuable to all who desire to acquaint themselves with the characteristics of " the Land of Cakes." The articles are written by gentle men (chiefly clergymen) of education, and evident experience and research in their several localities, and the arrangement under distinct heads is all that can be wished for reference; while at the same time the work so abounds with interesting historical lore, that it may be taken up at any time and Perused with amusement as well as instruction. Now that a complete and minutely defined survey, on a large scale, of Great Britain in counties is in progress, at the instance of the government, this work becomes more valuable, as it will forma suitable accompaniment to the splendid and accurate maps 'which will, ere long, be laid before the public. As a specit a .. -1' of the general style, we quote promiscuously the following)assage relative to the life and character of the late amiable E arl of Findlater, one of the most distinguished noblemen of la " There hav e so deeply n few men, to whom his country has been patriot, as to indebted , Jame considered in the character of a peaceful Se Caine born 171tailth Earl of Findlater and third Earl of pertained the esciusw To that distinguished individual, ap of Scotland those ire e merit, of introducing into the north tures and all kinds governents in agriculture, manufac eful industry, which, in the space of a few years, raised ills% civilization, from a state of semi-bar barism to a degree of improved districts of the sout equal to that of the most trav e l, lordship completed an lified excellhim for the dist in gui s h education b fored part which eminently qua- i i b e e was destined to act in the field of philanth ro py . in 17 54, t h e c ommissioners of Customs in Scotland ;eappointed one of 1765 was one of the cons tit u ted one of the lords of police, u s na i ru.tactures , trustees for the impro vement of fisheries and and for the managem ent of the forfeited estates and attended to the business of these boards wiltlhSc4tland he exemplary zeal and assi duit y .

In these truly patriotic pursuits, he succeeded to an extent altogether un paralleled in the annals of industrial improvements ; and his name is still a household word over the north of Scotland, being regarded as that of a man who, in his day and genera tion, proved himself one of the most substantial benefactors of his species. His lordship died at Cullin House, 3d No vember, 1770, in the fifty-sixth year of his age. DREADFUL DEATH FR OM SWALLOWING VITRIOLIC j the 7n the in th ACID.—On Friday one of the mechanics employed moulding department of Woolwich Dockyard died Marine Hospital, inconsequence of the extensive inter nal injuries he received by swallowing a large quantity of i vitri olice acid. Th e • d ecease d , i t appears, was a t wo rk n tn workshops of the moulding department, and, becoming thirsty, he took up a mug containing that destructive liquid, conceiving it to be spring water, and took a draught, . which burnt his mouth and throat in a dreadful manner. He was •conveyed to the hospital, where every attention was paid, but after lingering for nearly 48 hours he expired, having suffered the greatest agonies. It appears the acid is an arti cle frequently required in the work. The deceased, whose name was Edward Nicholson, was a young man only 25 years of age, and had but recently been married.—London paper- MIRCELL,AYE',OUS, Mr. nargreayss, of Leeds, has given a munificent done, tion of £lOOO towards liquidating the debt of the Wesleyan Missionary Society.—Leeds Times. It is stated as a fact, that the first observation the Duko of Wellington made, when fairly put on motion on the Liver pool and Manchester Railway, at its first opening, waz to this effect :—" This will be most efficient for the conveyance of troops." The Berkshire Chronicle states, that at a vestry meeting of the parish of Tilehurst, held on Thursday week, it was re solved to raise the assessment of the Great Western Railway from £3OO to about £lOOO per mile. There are two miles of the line in that parish. - - • Mr. Pitt, on one occasion when some measures of his were thought by the higher aristocracy to be prejudicial to their interest, as Sir Robert Peel's are now viewed by certain members of that body, is reported to have said, that he con sidered the first duty of government was to provide an ample supply of food for the people. LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT.—About six o'clock on Thursday evening three young men from Arundel left the harbour at Littlehampton, in a small galley, with the intention of going for a night's cruise as far as the Owers Light, off Bognor, or to the Isle of Wight, promising to write to their friends in the event of their reaching the island. Sunday arriving without any intelligence from,the party, serious apprehensions were entertained for their safety, more especially as a sudden squall, resembling a whirlwind, and lasting only a few mi nutes, had been felt along the coast, accompanied by a change of the wind from south-east to south-west. A few minutes after the change the boat was discovered by the crew of the Owers, half a mile distant, bnt it was not afterwards seen. Subsequently, however, the boat's rudder, stern-sheets, and oars, a basket, and hat, identified as belonging to the party, were picked up, and the conclusion is that the boat was cap sized, and the three young men met with a watery grave. The unfortunate gentlemen were a Mr. Carter, of a respec table family in Norfolk, articled to Mr. Duke, solicitor, of Arundel; Mr. Edward Constable, aged 20, son of a brewer at Arundel ; and a young man named Clear, also connected with Constable's brewery. WINDSOR CASTLE.—PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT THE INTRUSION OF STRANGERS. — Since the late mysterious en trance effected into the interior of Windsor Castle, by the man Quested, on the night of Monday week, such precau tions have been determined upon and carried into effect as will effectually prevent, for the future, the possibility of the privacy of the Sovereign being invaded by the intrusion of unknown and suspicious characters. The police, who are stationed at the only entrance which it is possible for a stranger to pass through, and who formerly went on for night duty at eleven o'clock, and left at six in the morning, now commence their duties several hours earlier in the even ing and remain until eight o'clock the next morning, from which hour the usual porters upon the Royal establishment are in constant attendance throughout the day, and until late in the evening. It is to be hoped that the great vigilance now exercised by the respective officials connected with the department in which they are engaged, will be, the means of frustrating any further attempts (should they be made) to intrude into the interior of the Castle to the great annoyance of every one concerned with the Royal Household. AWFUL THUNDER-STORM.—COUNTY OF LOUTH.—On Friday last, at six o'clock, as the family of Mr. Piers Murphy, himself, his mother, sister, and three children, one of whom was Miss Rose Murphy, of Newry, at present on a visit there, were sitting at tea in a small parlour at the western end of his house, the neighbourhood was visited with a vio lent thunder-storm ; a flash or ball of fire descended through the chimney, splitting a great part of the gable wall and chimney, breaking through the bed-room, and literally ex ploding in the apartment where the family were assembled— breaking two large framed pictures, shivering the chimney piece to atoms, damaging the ceiling and room plastering in different places, perforating the clock-case in three different parts, and, most singular, breaking the cups and saucers on the table were the parties were sitting. The room was bril liantly lighted with flame—breaking the window-frames, glass, &c., into atoms, and wreaking its awful fury on the individuals present. The parties endeavoured to make their escape, but Mr. Murphy (who, with his mother, had been previously struck and scorched most dreadfully), having recollected that one of the children present was lying on the floor, returned, and found it to be his cousin, Miss Murphy, who had been struck by a piece of the shattered chimney piece, and lay prostrate. He brought her to the open air, when, after the lapse of fifteen minutes, she partially re covered, and is now doing well. Nothing but the hand of Divine Providence can account for the miraculous escape of the inmates, and is attributed (in the words of many poor and starving persons) to the charitable generosity of Miss Murphy. Two cows and a horse have been killed within a few perches of Mr. Murphy's. A woman named Byrne is lying dangerously ill from the same effect. A dog belonging to Mr. Owen Byrne, of Lanett, was also killed on the spot. —Newry Examiner. AWFUL VISITATION.—THE CROPS.—On Friday, the 19th instant, the neighbourhood of thelsland for about three miles round was visited by the most dreadful thunder-storm ever recollected by the oldest inhabitant. About two o'clock in the afternoon, the fine blue sky, which wore such a pleas ing aspect up to that moment, suddenly became dark and cloudy —so dark that one could scarcely discern his own hand. The most terrific peals of thunder, accompanied by vivid flashes of lightning and tremendous hailstones, ensued, the latter as large as pigeons' eggs. This was followed by a waterspout, as if the cataracts of heaven had opened, which lasted for two hours and a half, leaving a flood that carried away all before it. The destruction committed on the corn crops fit for the sickle is really heartrending ; the fine fields of corn, particularly oats, are literally thrashed out of the ear. Even green oats did not escape. There was one field of oats of fifty acres, belonging to Mr. Bolton, which was fit to cut, and by far more than half of which is lost ; indeed, every field where the shower fell has suffered incalculably. From inquiries we have made since the above particulars reached us, we are happy to say that no injury has been sus tained by the crops except. in the neighbourhood of the Island ; but it is melancholy to reflect on the privations which this awful visitation must impose on the poorer class of sufferers in that district. The accounts from all other parts of the country are of the most cheering character.— Wexford Independent. PRESENT TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT. —A very beautiful Arabian mare (the only one which has been permitted to leave the country for many years past, and which arrived in England a few days since) has just been presented to His Royal Highness Prince Albert, at Windsor, from the English Consul at Morocco. The mare. which for symmetry may almost be said to be unequalled, is of a dark gray colour, standing 15 hands high, and not more than two years old, and of the purest Arab blood. It reached Windsor by the Great Western Railway from town a day or two since, and immediately upon its arrival it was taken to the quad rangle, where it was seen by the Queen and the Prince, and several of the members of the Royal household, by whom it was greatly admired. Its mane has been cut previously to its leavieg Morocco (a plan adopted in that country with respect to all mares bred there), and the only" drawback" , to its beauty and general appearance is that of a hog-mane ;" but it is expected that in a few months, with the care and attention which will be bestowed upon it, this will be reme died by means of the usual training which it will be subjected to. The mare, which is now at the Royal Mews, Windsor, will ultimately be placed in the paddocks at Cumberland lodge, under the care of Mr. Qnarton, His Royal Highness's stud-groom, for the purpose of raising a stock in this country from the purest blood of Arabia. DEATH OF LIEUT.-GEN. LORD VIVIAN, LATE MAS TER-GENERAL OF THE ORDNANCE.—lntelligence was received last night, which caused the deepest regret in the garrison at Woolwich, that Lieut.-Gen. the Right Hon. Richard Hussey Lord Vivian had died in Germany. This brave and gallant officer, on being appointed Master-Gen. of the Ordnance, on the 19th of May, 1835, performed the duties of his office with great zeal and ability, and by his urbanity, kindness, and attention to all was universally looked upon as the officers' and soldiers' friend. His lord ship continued master-general until the accession of the present government to power, in September, 1841, when he retired, having previously been raised to the peerage by the government of which he was, a member. Lord Vivian was born on the 28th of July, 1775, and entered the army as an ensign on the 31st July, 1793 ; promoted to lieut. 20th of Oct., 1793 ; captain, 7th of May, 1794 ; major, 9th of March, 1803 ; lieutenant-colonel, 28th of September, 1804 ; colonel, 20th of February, 1812; major-general, 4th of June, 1814; and lieutenant-general, 22d of July, 1830. The lieutenant general served in Flanders and Holland, under the Duke of York from June, 1794, until the return of the army in 1795. He was present at the sortie from Nuneguen, and was left with a picquet of the 28th regiment, in conjunction with other picquets, to hold it after the retreat of the army. He was present in the affair of Geldermalsen, in which his regi ment (the 28th) suffered severely, and in other skirmishes. His lordship was also present in all the different battles which took place during the expedition to the Helder, ex cepting in the landing. Commanded the 7th hussars in the campaign under Sir John Moore in 1808 and 1809. Com manded a brigade of cavalry in the Peninsula from Sept. 1813, until the return of the army ; including the battles of Ortbes, Nive, and Toulouse. He was severely wounded in carrying the bridge of Croix d'Orade, near Toulouse, and served at .the battle of Waterloo. Lord Vivian received a medal and one clasp for Sahagun, and Benevente, and Ortbes. His lordship's death causes a vacancy in the Ist dragoons, of which regiment he was colonel. A crime, attended with an exhibition of depravity and barbarity but rarely equalled, engaged the attention of the Court of Assizes for the Gard. held at Nismes, during one of its recent sittings. Etienne Perrier, a man 55 years of age, was brought before it to be tried for the murder of his wife, under the following circumstances. It appeared from the evidence, that at the end of January last, Jane Perrier, the deceased, was discharged from the central prison of Mont pellier, where she bad undergone confinement during a cer tain period for a theft of which she had been convicted. She brought away with her the petty sum of 40 francs only, and yet the possession of this was believed to have been the exciting cause of her death. On Wednesday, the 2d February last, this woman and her husband came to occupy a room in the house of the widow Durand, in the rue Payee, at Nismes, and both were seen entering it together about seven o'clock in the evening of the next day, but from that hour the woman was never more beheld alive. On the Saturday following, Madame Durand went to the well to draw water, but was prevented by some solid body lying at the bottom. She obtained the assistance of some persons with !tong poles having hooks at the end, and by means of these it was soon ascertained that the impediment was a dead body. The commissary of police being sent for, in his presence it was raised, and ascertained to be the corpse of a female, but so mutilated that she could not at once be identified. The head was fractured, the throat cut, and the face so disfigured that the features could not be recognised. All the lodgers and other inhabitants of the house were summoned round the magistrate, and all appeared except Perrier and his wife. On proceeding to their apartment, the door was found shut, but the key was outside. On entering the room, the follow ing evidence of crime, under the most savage deliberation, was disclosed. The bed showed that one person had slept in it. It had no marks of violence, but there was a stain of blood on the bolster, which indicated that some victim had been struck in sleep. A mass of clotted blood was found near a chair, and behind the door a marmite (an earthen cooking-vessel) filled with blood was discovered. In ano ther part was seen a pair of linen pantaloons, known to be long to Perrier, still exhibiting blood-stains, though endea yours had evidently been made to wash them out. From these and other features, it was impossible to come to any her conclusion than that, when he had rendered his wife senseless by the blows inflicted upon her, he had taken her out of toe bed and deliberately placed her head between his clotted gore, knees and cut her throat with a knife, which he left near the of the murder.quentlY where it still lay covered with blood, and which it was subsequently in the roomwa ascertained be had bought on the morn ingclearly evidenced b the the corpse of the person murdered distinctly traced fro y m t e h the e h same as that found in the well, was marks of blood whiell , could be very the witnesses testified to e one place to the other. !

On the upon to charge the jury, after ,half an hour's deliberation, delivered present a verdict of gu ilt y , hut without premeditation, whereupon the court sentenced the prisonce to hard labo ur at the hulkslpon for life. By order of her tiejostyils council, Mllnothcfrp has been constituted an additional polling.place for the county of Westmoreland. Put a lighted candle in the fire-place at night ; it will, by keeping up a constant current of air through the room up the chimney, render the apartment much cooler. MIND YOUR TONGUES.—Mr. Grove, of the Strafford Arms Inn, Stainbro', plucked an apple in his garden, on Wednesday last, which, on examination, was found to con tain in the interior, seventy wasps. The first importation of Cattle into Sunderland, under the new tariff, was made on Tuesday by a foreign vessel, named Noidt Gedacht, landing , twenty-four bullocks from Flushing foi a gentleman at Durham. AN EXTRAORDINARY FACT.—To show the state of un certainty that prevails in the wine trade, in reference to a remission of duty on Port wine, the London bill of entry of Friday morning was destitute of this article as having been duty-paid--a circumstance unprecedented in the trade. TROPHIES OF WAR BROUGHT FROM CHINA.—The ship Wellesley, recently arrived at Plymouth from China, has brought home the following trophies, captured by the Royal marines in that country. A yellow banner„ imperial colours, captured in the upper fort of Chuenpee in January, 1841, the inscription in Chinese characters, " Flag of the Tower of Cha-keo." A large green flag with golden dragon, taken by the battalion at the assault of the citadelof Chinae, in October, 1811 ; a smaller and imperial colour, yellow and gold dragon, taken at the capture of Ningpo-foo in the same month. A battle-axe and long-handled sword, taken from the Chinese in August, at Golongsoo, from a strong battery of 16 guns, which the marines took at the point of the bayonet. END OF MR. O'CONNELL'S MAYORALTY.—Mr. O'Con nell has announced that he does not again assume the office of Lord Mayor; and thus these sanguine beings who calcu lated so complacently on transferring the burtben of his _maintenance from his shoulders to those of the citizens of Dublin, have that cup of consolation dashed from their lips for the present. He assigns as his reason the impropriety of holding civic office while so exclusively engaged in politi cal agitation as he says he intends henceforth to be. We give him every credit for assigning a sufficient reason, if it be the true one : but the truth, we have no doubt, is, that the several Lord Mayors expectant have kicked against the proposal of keeping him perpetually in office, and that he finds it safer to retire with a good grace than to risk a more summary ejection. Be it, as it may, he goes to renew an agitation, the cessation of which, he admits, has been at tended by a decided advantage to the country.—Dublin Mail. A LIGHT FOR ALL NATIONS.—(TO the Editor of the Standard.)—Caisson, Goodwin Sands, August 16.—Sir, I am to inform you and the public, that at present the caisson is sunk below the sands 16 feet at low-watermark, and that the whole portion is now 42 feet high, being nine feet above high water, and that in the course of next week I hope to add 10 feet more, with every prospect •of speedily finding a foundation suitable fur the base of such an undertaking. There has rarely been any project, however important and beneficial, but the projetors have met with opposition; and unfortunately, in my case there has been no exception ; for, notwithstanding the favourable progress of the work (and when it is considered that the caisson weighs 150 tons, and is 30 feet in diameter, it has been equal to my most sanguine expectation), there have been persons in the vicinity of Deal and Walmer diligently engaged in promulgating the most absurd and unfounded rumours, but the best refutation of their malicious misrepresentations is the advance made to the completion of the object. I lave the honour to be, &c., W. BUSH, Civil Engineer. THE ENGLISH AND AMERICAN CONSIIMERS.—The com parative situation of the English and American consumer under their tariff may be well illustrated by the following document, put in by Mr. Payne as an appendix to his speech : —" In order to show to those who may read my speech that I have not over=estimated the burdens of a tariff, I subjoin a table shewing the cost of various articles of clothing in Lon don, and the price of the same articles in America ; also the advertisement of a tailor in London, with the same articles priced by one of the best and most respectable merchant tailors in the city of Washington.

Its du ration was, fortunately, very brief, or the most serious in convenience would have resulted. Many of the streets and roads were completely flooded, and presented the appearance of a river. In various parts of Islington, Highgate, and Hampstead, the flood was excessive,,and the water poured into the kitchens and cellars, inundating them to the depth of five and six feet. Several fire-engines were employed, on the subsidence of the storm, to clear the houses of the water. Much damage has been done to vegetation, and the fields in the vicinity of the metropolis, which were previously parched up, were covered yesterday with standing pools of water. — London Times of Saturday. A letter-envelope, containing the following superscription passed through the Doncaster post-office, a few days ago : " Postman! attend to my desire— With W. B.

' Leeds Mercury. MELANCHOLY SUICIDES.—Last Monday morninga young man, named James Thompson, (said to be assumed,) private in the 6th Carbineers, which arrived in this town on Friday last, put a period to his existence by blowing out his brains. The facts connected with the melancholy transaction are as follow :—Deceased and his companion, named John Yonng, slept together on the night previous, and both were perfectly sober when retiring to rest. About four o'clock in the morn ing, Young arose and left deceased in bed, and about six o'clock returned to awaken him. He refused to get up, stating that he was very unwell. The stable call having been sounded, he did not appear at his post, and on Serjeant Quin proceeding to inquire the cause of his delay, he gave the same excuse. Shortly after, another soldier entered de ceased's room and, observing some marks of blood on the floor, suspected that all was not right, and returned to the yard for another man, to came and look at Thompson. They found the unfortunate young man lying on his bed quite dead. On his breast lay his carbine, on the trigger of which rested his finger. The muzzle of the carbine was placed in his mouth, and in that position it was thought the poor suicide had terminated his existence. The ball was discharged into his mouth, passed through his head, and entered the wall on the opposite side of the room, where it was found. His face was burst open by the shot, and presented a very shocking and mutilated appearance. Deceased was a young man, aged 22 years, and bore a most excellent character. The only cause which we have heard assigned for the rash and premeditated act was, that deceased, who is said to be a native of Bel fast, applied to some of his friends, shortly after his arrival, to purchase his discharge, as he wished to quit the service. His friends refused to comply with his request, and he was heard afterwards to say that he would never trouble them again. ANOTHER—A dissenting clergyman, named John Houston, from Bangor, committed suicide on Saturday morning last, in a lodging-house in North -street, by swal lowing a quantity of laudanum, which caused almost instan taneous death. On the circumstance having been disco vered, the unfortunate man was removed to the hospital, where every assistance that medical skill could devise was resorted to, but without success, and after lingering for a short time, died. An inquiry was held on Monday, at the police-office, before the sitting magistrates, when, among other witnesses, the wife of the deceased was examined. She stated that for some time past her husband was very dull in spirits, and that, on the morning he left home (Tuesday . week), she did not consider him right in his mind ; be com plained of being in ill health, and had told her to get him into an asylum. She further stated that he belonged to the Independent body, and had, during the last three years, been employed in preaching. Deceasad was about thirty-six years of age, and, according to his wife's acknowledgment, was given to dissipated habits. A. THIRD—On Sunday morning last, a man, named John • M`Nealy, drowned him self in the Lagan, during, as it is thought, a fit of temporary insanity. A FOURTH—On Monday evening, about nine o'clock, a man, named Anthony Hickson, was brought to the police-office, charged with having attempted to drown him self at Dunbar's Dock.—Belfast Vindicator. THE QUEEN IN THE HIGHLANDS.—The last Sovereign that visited the Highlands of Scotland was also a Queen—the beautiful and unfortunate Mary Queen of Scots. The Royal journey was made about the same time of the year as that proposed by Queen Victoria; but Mary rode on horseback. Roads there were none ; and no wheeled carriage was seen north of Perth before 1715. Charles the Second, when in Scotland, during the Commonwealth, was crowned at Scone, on New Year's-day, 1651; but while the sceptre was held by the more vigorous and able hand of Cromwell, Charles is scarcely entitled. to the honours of monarchy ; and he does not seem to have made any perambulation of our Highland district. The Scottish Queen left Stirling on the 18th of August, (old style,) in the year 1562, and took nine days in travelling to Aberdeen. The accommodations could not have been princely, for the two secretaries—Randolph and Mait land—who accompanied Mary had to sleep together in the same bed ! From Aberdeen the Queen proceeded to Inver ness, and the room then occupied as her parlour is now the counting-room or office of Mr. Ferguson, wine-merchant. The house has since been completely modernized in ap pearance—the old turnpike-stair and projecting balcony, with the capacious kitchen, are removed.—lnverrias Courier. SINGULAR RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE.—A man named Wiley Freeman, aged 48, killed his wife at Edgefield, S.C, with his , rifle, June 10, 1837. He was raised in Edgefield, South Carolina, and was married at the early age of 21 or 22 years. His wife he had known from early infancy—they went to school together, and together participated in the village sports. Their union seemed to be such a one as would insure per petual happiness—undying love. After living together 22 years, and having 11 children, he took to drink, and became jealous of her, and killed her. He fled Alabama, was taken, and imprisoned in the jail in Edgefield. He escaped, went through Tennessee and Mississippi to New Orleans, and worked on the Nashville Railroad. Thence he went to Texas —thence travelled with a caravan to Mexico ; returned to New Orleans, passed on through the State, and was arrested in the parish of Rapide s , J u l y 15, 1842, more' than five years after the murder. Now we come to the singular retributive justice in the case. At the time that Freeman murdered his wife she had an only brother, named John Crawford, residing in the State of Alma, some fi ve hundred miles' distant from Edgefield. Having heard of the fatal affair, and of Freeman's escape from prison, he left his home resolved to pursue him unto death, and avenge a sister's blood. He followed in his wake in Texas and elsewhere ; but never could be lay his eyes on him. After a four years' crusade of this kind—and a holy one it was—he became broken in spirit and bankrupt in means, and with a view of recruitin g both he offered his services to Mr. Tanner, of Rapides, as an assistant overseer, and in this capacity he was when a providential fate— " That shapes our ends, Rough hew them how we will " drove Mr.Turner Freeman in his path, who was then on his way to Texas. had soroe,dotibts of his identity. ever, and takinged. how_ Now Ny,e come to . a close.

As tottignam—tobic at that gray.headed risan i .of thfoa nom and upwards, sitting by the way.aldo, Ha was once en elder of the kirk ; and a pious man he was, if ever piety adorned the temples—" the lyart "'Mists, wearing thin and bare"—of a Scottish peasant. What eye beheld the many hundred steps that, one by one, with imperceptible ,grada tion, led him down—down—down to the lowest , depth of shame, suffering, and ruin ? For many years before it was bruited about that Gabriel Mason was addicted to drink, his wife used to sit weeping in the spence when her sons and daughters were out at their work in the fields ; and the infa tuated man, fierce in the excitement of raw ardent spirits, kept causelessly raging and storming through every nook of that once so peaceful tenement, which for many happy years bad never been disturbed by the loud voice of anger or re proach. His eyes were seldom turned on his unhappy wife, except with a sullen scowl or fiery wrath; but, when they did look on lier with kindness, there was also a self-upbraid ing in their expression, on account of his cruelty : and at the sight of such transitory tenderness, her heart would over flow with forgiving affection, and her eyes with tears. But neither domestic sin nor domestic sorrow will conceal from the eyes and ears of men ; and at last Gabriel Mason's name was a bye-word in the mouth of the scoffer. One Sabbath he entered the kirk in a state of miserable abandonment, and from that day be was no longer an elder. To regain hit character seemed to him, in his desperation, beyond the power of man, and against the decree of God. So he deli vered himself up, like a slave, to that one appetite; and in a few years bis whole household had gone to destruction. His wife was a matron almost in the prime of life when she died ; but, as she kept wearing away to the other world, her face told that she felt her years had been too many in this. Her eldest son, unable in pride or shame to lift up his eyes at kirk or market, went away to the city, and enlisted into a regiment about to embark on foreign service. His two Sis ters went to take farewell of him, but never returned ; one, it is said, having died of a fever in the infirmary, just as she had been made a pauper ; and the other—for the sight of sin, and sorrow, and shame, and suffering, is ruinous to the soul—gave herself up in her beauty, an easy prey to a de stroyer, and doubtless has run her course of agonies, and is now at peace. The rest of the family dropped down, one by one, out of sight into inferior siruations in far-off places; but there was a curse, it was thought, hanging over the family, and of none of them did a favourable report ever come to their native parish ; while he, the infatuated sinner, whose vice seemed to have worked all the woe, remained in the chains of his tyrannical passion, nor seemed ever, for more than the short term of a day, to cease hugging them to his breast.—Christopher North in his Sporting Jacket. NAUTICAL ANECDOTE OF HER MAJESTY WHEN PRIN CESS VICTORIA.—It is not generally known that her Ma jesty is so conversant with matters of seamanship as she really is. Before her accession to the throne of these realms, no amusement afforded her more delight than marine ex cursions • and, during the summer season, her beautiful yacht, the Emerald, was in frequent requisition. Nor were her Majesty's trips at all times unattended with danger, and the following instance will show that a very narrow escape from one of the many "perils of the deep" occurred during one of her voyages. *At a time when her Majesty was round a portion of the Isle of Wight, her favourite cruising ground, on account of the beautiful scenery to be found there, a breeze sprung up, and before the Emerald could get into Cowes Roads, for which she was beating up, it freshened into a gale. In squally weather, there is a very ugly short sea that runs in the channel, which now washed the yacht's deck " fore and aft." Her Majesty, however, with a degree of nerve seldom to be found in her sex, and oftimes wanting in a man, stayed on deck, and quietly, though carefully attended to the efforts of the men. The pilot on board, Mr. Saunders, was giving directions, and doing everything that a seaman could do to bring his onerous charge safe into port, when a sharp squall came and took the Emerald " aback," and crack went the topmast immediately above the " cap." Seeing the danger, Saunders sprang to where the Queen was, standing, seized her round the waist, and had scarcely time to deposit her farther aft, where less chance of harm existed, when crash came the topmast down upon the deck, directly on the spot where the Queen had stationed herself, scarcely an instant intervening between her removal and its fall; had it fallen on her, it must inevitably have crushed her. In gratitude to her preserver, the Queen (then Princess) got him appointed as a master of the navy, and after her ac cession to the throne she ordered him to be brought to court. He was for some time master of the Firebrand and Royal Yacyt steamer, (now called the Black Eagle, in honour of the King of Prussia,) but, it is to be regretted, he is recently dead. An ample provision has, however, been considerately made by the Queen for his wife and family. CONNEXION OF TRADE AND HARVESTS.—That there is a strict and indissoluble connection between the state of trade and commerce in any country, and the state of its harvests, is plain from what has taken place in this country, within the last ten years. Our commercial affairs have been prosperous or adverse just in proportion as our harvests have been abundant or otherwise. In illustration of the truth of this assertion, we do not know whether we can do better than note down the average price of wheat for the last eight or ten years, opposite to the annual surplus or deficiency in the public revenue for these years. For the years 1832, 1833, 1834, 1835, and 1836, the account would stand as follows : Price of Wheat Season. Annual Surplus per qr. of national rev. 1832 38s. 8d...

We do not happen to be in possession of any account of the revenue for that year, but the following statement embraces the period extending from that year to the present time : Price of Wheat Season.

BARGEMEN AND BOATMEN.—The friends of this long neglected class will learn with satisfaction that arrangements are being made for opening an Episcopal Floating Chapel near this city, for the instruction of the men employed on the river Severn and the Worcester and Birmingham canal. The venerable Society for promoting Christian Knowledge has made a grant of £5O in aid of this benevolent design ; and our worthy Di ocesa n, the Bishop of Worcester, with his n ,, nonr.pd haq snhserihed X 25. Several hand some donations have been added, and a few annual subscrip tions. We trust that commercial men and other respectable individuals on the line of these navigations will patronize an undertaking fraught with so many benefits to a body of men proverbial for their demoralized character, yet very useful in their station, and capable of improvement if placed under more favourable circumstances, as has been proved in vari ous parts of the kingdom. Sunday traffic had a most injuri ous effect upon this class. One of the boatmen executed at Stafford for the Rugeley murder, stated to a clergy man, who visited him in prison, that during the fourteen years he had been employed on the canal he had never once attended public worship. He was consequently in a most awful state of ignorance. Some years ago a boatman suf fered for the same fearful crime of murder at Chester. That wretched man solemnly declared he had never heard there was a place of reward or punishment in a future world, and had never uttered a prayer during his whole life, till he was committed to prison. Nothing could exceed the attention he paid to the chaplain's instructions. These things " ought not to be" in a country professing Christianty. It would be well if factors, tradesmen, &c., when ordering goods to be sent by canal, would avoid infringing on the sacred rest of the Sabbath, a practice productive of the greatest evils. We hail, as philanthropists, the efforts being made to raise a degraded class of our countrymen in the scale of religion and morals. In addition to the three churches erected on the Weaver navigation in Cheshire, three places of public wor ship have been recently set apart for boatmen in Staffordshire —in other parts of the kingdom a friendly interest has been excited on behalf of this class, which we trust will soon be come universally privileged with the grant of the Sabbath, to which as British subjects they are justly entitled.— Wor cester Journal. 4Nbitifffng FRIDAY, AUCtUST 26.—WInd N.E. moderate. .BXitno:—Tapley, Gething, for China—Portsmuoth, Glover, for New York—Patrick Henry, Delano, for ditto—Robert Parker, Dwight, for ditto—Tamenend, Lovett, for New Orleans—Windsor Castle, Glover, for Boston—Aberdeen, Duffey, for Quebec—Mabel, Nicholson, for St. John, N.B—Julie, Baggie, for Rio de Janeiro and Valparaiso—Maid of Cashmere, Fishley, for Monte Video, &c.—Camoens, Tanner, for Trinidad—Romulus, Auld, for Grenada—,Meadea, Bockhout, for Stet tin—Fred.

Though prices have again somewhat receded, there has been rather more disposition shewn to do business in Wheat and Flour, both here, at Liverpool, and Wakefield ; and some symptoms of returning confidence have been observable. Oats and Oatmeal have gone off slowly at declining prices. With the exception of a few declining showers, the weather, has, on the whole, been favourable for harvest work, though in other quarters more rain has fallen than we have had here. A considerable number of the operatives in certai❑ branches of our manufactures, in this and the neighbouring towns and district, still decline to resume their employment ; but as all the matters agitated during the recent dis turbances have now resolved themselves into a question of wages, it is probable that things will shortly resume their usual course. At to-day's market buyers of Wheat still act cautiously, and holders are not pressing ; our quotations, which have of late been very uncertain, will now more accurately represent the value of this grain. Flour, is to 2s per sack, and is per barrel lower, with more inclination to buy at the reduction. Oats Id per bushel, and Meal is per load lower. In other articles no particular variation. No new stuff offering ; Red English Wheat would bring Ss to Ss 3d 7olbs. Oats about 3s 45lbs ; and Meal 27s to 28s per load. TIDE TABLE. Days. Mra. Evn. Height. Sundays, Holydays, *e. ------- 11.

During the latter part of last week, our market assumed a quieter aspect, and the demand was less active this morning, There was a better attendance of the trade, and more general enquiry for Cotton. The amount of business is estimated at 5,500 bales, of which only 500 are placed to speculative account. The inquiry to-day has been more for long stapled Cotton, near 2000 (of which 905 are Egyptian) have been taken. On the whole the market is very steady, and prices extremely firm, having an upward ten dency. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT. Although the manufacturing districts are still unsettled, and the mills have not resumed their accustomed activity, the demand from the trade has been regular, and front speculators extensive, and an advance has taken place in Surat and common and middling American of id lb ;in other descriptions there is little change. Speculators have taken 16,400 American, and 4000 Surat, and ex porters 63u American and 60 Surat. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 19th to the 25th instant, inclusive.

Inclusive of a parcel of Wheat from Canada, the arrivals within the past three days amount to upwards of 10,000 qrs., chiefly from Baltic ports ; we have also a good fresh supply of Colonial Flour and several small lots of Oatmeal, but the imports during the same period from all other quarters are light. The duty on Foreign Wheat has been increased this week to lls. per qr., and on Flour to 6s. 71d. per barrel, the anti cipation of which and the certainty of a rapid advance in the rates on this Grain, have communicated a degree of firmness to the trade to which we have of late been accustomed ; a return of almost constant rain has also furnished additional stimulus, and several cargoes of Wheat, mostly Danzig and red Baltic, have changed hands on speculation, at the full rates on Tuesday last, and in some cases at rather more money than was obtainable on that day ; the millers have, however, been very inactive, and we have had no improve ment in the demand for any other article in the interval be. tween our last market and to-day. Further speculative purchases in Wheats to a pretty good extent have been effected this morning, in addition to which a fair quantity has been taken by buyers from a distance in the interior, as well as some for Ireland ; and notwith standing:our local millers have remained mostly on the re serve, the transactions on the whole are considerable ; holders are firm, but we cannot state any advance except upon general middling and low descriptions, which are ld. to 2d. per bushel dearer. Flour is more readily sold, but at no quotable improvement in value. The business doing in Oats and Oatmeal is at Tuesday's rates, but the sales are quite in retail ; no new Irish at market. For other articles of the'trade we continue former quota tions, though little or nothing is passing in them. The weather is still very wet.
