All lands are one beneath my rule, All nations learners in my school ; Men of all ages, everywhere, Become contemporaries there. What is the Press ? 'Tis what the tongue Was to the world when Time was young, When, by tradition, sire to son Conveyed whate'er was known or done ; But fact and fiction so were mixed, That boundaries never could be fix'd. What is the Press? 'Tis that which taught, By hieroglyphic forms of thought, Lore, from the vulgar proudly hid asures in a pyramid ; knowledge then was mystery, captive under lock and key, By Priests and Princes held in thrall, Of little use, or none ar all; Till the redoubted Alphabet Free their own great deliverer set, At whose command, by simplest spells, They work their mental miracles. What is the Press? 'Tis what the pen Was thrice ten centuries to men, When sybil leaves lend wings to words, Or, caged in books, they sang like birds But slow the pen, and frail the page— To write twelve folios ask'd an age ; And a pet babe, in sport, might spoil The fruits of twenty authors' toil. A power was wanting to insure Life to works worthy to endure---- A power the race to multiply Of intellectual polypi: It came, all hardships to redress; And Truth and Virtue hail'd the Press ! What am I, then? lam a power Years cannot waste, nor flames devour, Nor waters drown, nor tyrants bind ; I am the mirror of man's mind, In whose serene, impassive face, What cannot die on earth you trace — Not phantom shapes that come and fly, But like the concave of the sky, In wbich the stars, by night and day, Seen or unseen, hold on their way. Myself withdrawn from mortal sight, I am invisible as light— Light which, revealing all beside, Itself within itself can hide ; The things of darkness I make bare, And, nowhere seen, I'm everywhere, AU that philosophy has sought, Science aiscovei'd, genius wrought ; All that reflective memory stores, Or rich imagination pours ; All that the wit of man conceives ; All that he wishes, hopes, believes ; All that he loves, or fears, or hates ; All that to heaven and earth relates These are the lessons that I teach By speaking silence—silent speech. Ah ! who like me can bless or curse ? What can be better, what be worse, Than language framed for Paradise, Or sold to infamy and vice? Blest be the man by whom I bless ; Accursed he who wrongs the Press ; The reprobate in prose and song, Who wields the power of right for wrong— Wrong, to out-last his laurell'd tomb, And haunt the earth till crack of doom ! LITERARY NOTICE. Eglinton Park Meeting. We noticed in our paper the week before last the poetica abilities of Mr. John Ramsay, Kilmarnock, as displayed in the above work, and promised on a future occasion to give a short extract. We have since perused the book, and feel de lighted with the many very beautifully descriptive scenes, so true to nature's self, which the poets of past ages might in reality have been proud of; while his other styles of com position lack nothing. The following is an extract : In radiant majesty the source of light Arose, and walked the chambers of the east, And bade the seas and rivers sparkle bright, And cheered afar the lonely monntains' breast, Whose shaggy top was veiled in vapours white -Where soared, sublime, the eagle o'er her nest, .—th' unconscious lamb and ewe ed , 'moug red heath, wild thyme, and harebell bin By dreary cairn Graz And on a rack, coeval with the earth, Where time had toiled till with his toil turned grey, The shepherd sat, and eyed, in all her mirth, ILT along life's flowery way— From blossomed thorn the mavis warbled forth, The linnet from the broom and birchen spray, The cm•hat mourned, and as the bass to all, Loud thundered o'er the rock the mighty waterfall Diatore rejo Descending then along the misty plain, On rapid wing, the raptured muse surveyed, Rich lawns, extending even to the main, And groves and vales in summer's pomp arrayed ; And waving woods, now lost, and now again The broad bright river in his strength displayed, Proud aristocracy's bedazzling bower, The lone sad remnants of the fendal tower. Far other features showed the city's face, Buildings on buildings piled unto the sky, The vagrant curs about the market-place, The high slow-moving wain, the driver's cry, The bawling sweep, the tippler on the chase, Of stunted form, pale cheek, and heavy eye ; Toils various tribes unto their tasks repair, The drunkard to his den of frenzy despair. 0, Heaven ! what means this vortex we behold Of human passions, human joys and woes, Of vast extremes, and much that is untold In life's retreats ? For ever onward flows Time's tide, in which we rise but to be rolled As wrecks, with all our transports and our throes Down to that deep impenetrable gloom That hangs o'er all that lies beyond the tomb. VARIETIES. It is enough for the present state of things that men act well. Of their motives none but God can judge. " I'll be blessed if 1 do," as the girl said when her lover asked her to be married. A correspondent of the Picayune paper has such a cold in his head that he can't wash his face without freezing the water. A young lady writes from Ohio, that commercial affairs are so bad, that the young men are insolvent, and can't pay their addresses. " I am happy, Ned, to hear the report that you have suc ceeded to a large landed property." " And I am sorry, Tom, to tell you that it is grountilen." If you wish success in life, make Perseverance your bosom friend; Experience your wise counsellor; Caution your elder brother; and Hope your guardian genius. Prayer is the silence of the soul, the calm of the passions, the contentment of desire, and the union of our will with the Divine. What we have done is worthy of nothing but silence and forgetfulness ; but what God ;has done for us is worthy of everlasting and thankful memory. Riches, honour, and pleasure are the sweets which destroy the mind's appetite for its heavenly food ; poverty, disgrace, and pain, are the bitters which restore it. Alexander Gun, an excise officer, being lately dismissed from his employment for misconduct, an entry was made in a book, kept for the purpose, as follows :—" A Gun dis charged for making afahe report." A FRENCH BuLL.—The Commerce publithes the following extract from M. Jacqueminot's address to the electors of Paris:—`' Gentlemen, I have shed all my blood for my coun try, and I am ready to shed it again." A shock of an earthquake was felt on the evening of the 2 1st ult., at St. Aubin, Suages, and Vaumarcus (Switzetland). It was sufficiently violent to alarm the inhabitants, several of whom were attacked with violent headaches immediately afterwards. An elderly gentleman travelling in a stage coach was amused by the constant fire of words kept up .between two ladies. One of them at last kindly inquired if their conver sation did not make his head ache ?—to which he replied, " no, ma' am ; I have been married twenty-eight years.'

It is stated that one of the gentlemen who have left the " Reform" party recently declared that " it was no longer respectable to be a Whig." REMErY roR CHILBLAINS.—A common remedy for chil blains among the peasants in Russia is the rind of perfectly ripe cucumbers, dried with the soft parts attached, and placed with the inner side, previously soaked in warm water, over the sore parts. Dmitriefsky confirms the efficacy of this re medy.—Annals of Chemistry. The following caution is published in a local paper . Dorcas and Provident Societies.—Ladies ! Though youcan not command what the poor shall buy, you can control what shall be sold at your rooms.

Give no entertainment to the beginnings, the first motions, and secret whispers of the spirit of impurity.

ANOTHER SIGN OF THE TlMES.—Speaking with an ac quaintance, a pawnbroker, on the long-continued and deep distress which prevails throughont this district, he invited us to an inspection of his returns of pledges taken by him, and we found, that in the years 1833 and 1134 he was days with out taking in one pledge; while in the years 1840 and 1841 the number averaged for every day in those years 125 day, or 3,750 for each month.—Bolton Free Pri ESMERIC OPERATION.—In addition to this extraordi ry feat in surgery (Mr. Ward's), we have to add that an operation took place in this parish on the 19th of August, when a medical gentleman, to cure a contraction in the knee joint, put a female in a mesmeric trance, and while she was in that state divided the hamstring muscles without her being conscious of the circumstance ; and we are happy to add that the individual now walks with facility.—Hampshire Tele graph.

PRESBY noble and venerable hi in the old feelings of the people. Its clergy, mingling t accomplishments of the aristoc rac y w ith t h e condescensil of Christian pastors, rivet together the different ranks of society, as with crossing bars of iron. Its bishops have ex hibited many of them the pomp of the prelate in beautiful union with the spirit of Christ's meekest martyr. Its mas sive learning is the bulwark of Christianity. Its exquisite Liturgy, second in divine composition only to Scripture itself, ready at all times to supply the needs of the fainting soul, and fitted, in its comprehensive devotions, aptly to embody every different individual aspiration, binds in one chain of prayer the hearts of its members, and the hearts of generation after generation. From its pulpits, no longer occupied by slumbering watchmen, the true doctrines of the Cross are proclaimed, as with the sound of a trumpet. The costliest offerings for the cause of Christ are poured in generous pro fusion into its treasury. The zeal of the missionary, that finest token of apostolic origin, has awoke within its bosom ; and bishops are going forth, making of the crozier a pilgrim staff, in order to proclaim amongst the Gentiles the good tidings of salvation. Well might the members of any other nes.r. ... • communion excuse the generous feeling which would awake these words of Holy Writ, concerning her whom the best of her sons have rejoiced to call their Mother Church of Eng land, " Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou ex cellest them all."—A Tract for the Times, adapted to the position of both Churches. By William Penny, Advocate of Edinburgh. SELFISHNESS OF THE LEAGUERS.—The leaguers are a selfish crew. Do I libel them ? Hear them speak. One says, " I give £250 to the league, not to promote the interest of justice, humanity, and religion, but lest I should lose all the rest that I possess."—Another of these worthies, who figures in Manchester amongst the very pious ones, declared, " I came with the intention of giving only £lOO, but, as £250 and £3OO have been put down, I will I Then comes the statement of the case, without any prevati- The three hundred pounder continues—" The ques tion for decision is, whether the aristocracy shall ride the manufacturers down with their money, or whether the manu facturers shall ride the aristocracy down with theirs." So that, on the showing of themselves, the question with the leaguers is not one of RIGHT, but a mere contest for POWER —a resolution on their part "to ride the aristocracy down with their money," and thus overthrow the institutions of England; for no one will be foolish enough to suppose that the crown can outlive the aristocracy. Revolution, then, being the goal of the leaguers, the selfish, but very pious leaguer, adds, "For my own part, I will make the greatest effort I can to save myself, and, if I die, I s h a ll h ave a strug gle for it first." This smacks of physical force, as well as money. Again, another bright example of a leaguer speaks out still more boldly, openly declaring, " If the people of Manchester only knew - • it is their interest to have the powe to repeal the corn law in spite of the 1 ores." If this is not an excitement to rebe' , what is ? The rebel continued—" It is nothin matter of money ; and if the manufacturers have not m Ido not know who has." The impudence of this leap as striking as his treason.—Fleet Papers. A WOODEN LEG AT COURT.—HIS Majesty (Geor is in delightful health, and much improved agree he never looked better.

PROSPECT OF CHINESE DEMAND FOR BRITISH GOODS same, taking the same —lt must be recollected, that, since the invention of ma chinery, goods that were formerly inaccessible, except to the wealthier classes, are now open to the most humble. Two hundred years ago, nankeen and similar articles were sold at much lower prices in China than British cotton could possibly be ; but this native manufacture can neither have greatly in creased or diminished in cost for centuries, depending merely on the momentary price of labour, and years of scarcity or plenty; whilst the march of v.": - has enabled European in England, to be sold it of China.

LAUNCH AT POOLE.—On Saturday last a very fine barque of 400 tons burtben, was launched from the building yard of Richard Pinney, Esq., on the Hamworthy side of the harbour. The vessel, which was named the Great Britain is of handsome form and symmetrical proportions, and she slipped off the stocks in graceful style amidsst the plaudits of a great concourse of spectators. She is designed for the Canada timber trade.—Dorset paper. THE BANE OF IRELAND.—This day the usual half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of bank stock was held in the Bank—the Governor in the chair. We regret to state that, on announcing the usual dividend of four per cent. for the half-year ending the 25th instant, the Governor was obliged to state that, in order to enable the Bank to pay the dividend, it became necessary to draw on the "rest" to the extent of fifteen thousand pounds ! This announcement caused great consternation amongst the holders of bank stock.—Dublin Evening Mail, Monday. POWERFUL MICROSCOPE.—At the Polytechinc Institution a new and most powerful microscope, has just been fitted up. The powers which may be applied are 30,000, 60,000, 1,000,000, 2,000,000 and 47,000,000 superficial; or 173,245, 1,000, 1,414, and 8,600 linear measures. Of course, as the higher powers are applied the light diminishes, but there is great distinctness of vision under the very highest. We be lieve, no such a power nas ever been applied before to any optical instrument; the highcst of Herschell's large telescope was 7,000. One may form some idea of this instrument when we observe that the disc on which the image of objects was thrown, is 28 by 24 feet ; and that a flea, by one of the lower powers, was made to fill nearly the whole of this space, while with the highest its head only could be taken in. Cm, sox EXTENSION.—There are now 12 new churches building or about to be commenced in various parts of the metropolis, one in the Ke n t R oa d, i n t h e par i sh of St George, Southwark, one in the parish of Paddington, another on the site of the old Broadway Chapel, Westminster; a large church, with a lofty Gothic Tower, iu which a muscial peal of Bells is to be placed, in Wilton-square Knights-bridge ; 'anal-green parish, an d a church in St. Pancras have been chosen for a new church in the Waterloo -road district of Lambeth parish • another in St. Botolph Without, Ald ga t e . i n t h e county of 'Middlesex ; and a third in St. George's-in-the-East. Th e new par i s h Ch urc h of St. Giles s, Camberwell, building on the site of the old edifice, which was destroyed by fire, is progressing rapidly and will be a noble and spacious edifice. BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—We believe we may state with confidence, that the directors of the Birmingham Railway have for some time contemplated placing a carriage between the tender and the first passenger carriage of every train. Several experiments were made to ascertain the description of carriage best suited for the proposed object. A. carriage truck was first tried, but experience proved that the only carriages suitable were either second-class carriages or par cel vans. A number of parcel vans were then ordered to be built to supply advanced guards for each of the trains, and until these carriages are completed an empty second-class carriage will be used as a substitute with every train. We are happy to hear that Tomlin, who was most hurt, is going on well. LITERARY AND TYPOGRAPHIC CURIOSITY.—We have now before us the Family Herald, or Useful Information and Amusement for the Million, published in London on Saturday, " the first specimen of a publication produced entirely by machinery —types, ink, paper and printing." The types were se t u p by Y oung ' s Patent Composing Ma chine, to which frequent allusion has been made in our co lumns. The paper was set up by two young persons (fe males, no doubt) " in the same space of time as would have required the exerti on o f fi ve s ki lled men by the ordinary method." It is a handsome publication, and is at once a literary and a typographic curiosity. What the compositors call " The Infernal Machine" is now in practical and regular operation, and its effect is seen in the low price of the He rald, which is sold for one penny, the paper being about half of the size of the STANDARD.' How TO SAVE TEE HOLYDAY. -- People are just now tantalised with some little speculations about holydays lost and to be won. First, Christmas-day falls on a Sunday, and that is clearly a holyday lost. But then there is some hope of getting it, back by bargain with all the several dispensers of holydays, from the privy -council to the charity-school master and .the master-tradesman. The case of the woi k people is hard : they look for this chiefest of holydays, sa cred to family reunions, as a right—but now it is merged in a common Sunday. It is proposed to give them the Monday OF instead. They are t o h ave it i n t h e dockyards; and if it is s' ,n" not the custom in th e government offices generally, it should It is a be for the sake of examp l e. B ut government have it in their 00w - -- ,er to wattle the question in a very summary manner. is said that there is to be a holyday in celebration of the peace with China ; and a correspondent of the Times suggests that it should be fixed for the Monday after Christmas-day. That would determine the matter for the present. The question will not recur for eleven years ; by which time, possibly, people may have learned that holydays among an over-worked people do not always hinder bp work may be got throw' • ess, and that just as much the country needs, though a is not withdrawn on an average every six years.— i o n 'c th lo e ck tow o n tbingdon, Berkshire. It a pp ears , th a t a s h or t ti me Pre to saAturedllayAPnTi g E h R t a O s E t , theAE ACCIDENTS.—About EE utmost NT— alarm Ab °u eight prevailed to the above hour, the Cheltenham van, on arriving he market-place, unhappily broke down, and the body, ,s contents, falling against a small house on the road de, did considerable damage to the frontage, and the unfor tunate driver on the van very narrowly escaped being killed upon the spot ; as it was, he sustained a dreadful fracture of the thigh, together with other serious injuries, and lies in a very deplorable state. Several articles of various descrip tions, which the van had contained, were strewed about ,the road, and before they could be removed, a tandem, driven by two Oxonians at a rapid rate, came in collision with the heterogenous mass, and an upset was the consequence. The driver fortunately escaped unhurt, but their groom, who was seated behind, was thrown with considerable force to the ground, and ivben picked up, it was discovered that his right arm was fractured between the elbow and shoulder joints. The vehicle having got entangled with the wheels of the van, was shattered to atoms, and the shaft horse much injured. A few days previous to the above, a female lost her life near the same spot, by being driven over by two persons driving tandem ; they, however, have hitherto managed to elude detection. DEANERY OF ST. PATRICK'S.—AS we anticipated in our last, the judgment of Mr. Justice Crampton, delivered on Saturday, ran with the majority in both cases, thus rendering the decision in favour of the Archbishop of Dublin's vote unanimous ; and, with respect to the vote of Doctor Todd, making the adverse decision four to one—Judge Perrin being the single dissentient. Letters remissory, remitting the case back to the court below, will issue this day from the Court of Delegates, and to-morrow the mandate of the Archbishop of Dublin will authorise the Chapter of the Cathedral to proceed with the instalment of Doctor Daly, as the new Dean of St. Patrick's. The ceremony will, probably, take place on to morrow or Wednesday. Both parties are to pay their proper costs, which are understood to be considerable. Dr. Daly, however, has the better end of the staff in his hands. By the decision in his favour be becomes entitled to the income of the Deanery, for the two years and three months during which his title was disputed—a sum which, at 13,4000 a-year, amounts to £3,150; and having, during all the interim, en joyed the income of the benefices which he possessed, he loses nothing by the litigation. There is a class of persons attached to the Cathedral who will also be greatly benefitted by this decision—namely, the Vicars Choral. Not one gentleman belonging to the choir has received the renewal fines, which form an important portion of their income, since encement of this litigation.—Dublin Paper. the coma _IOLY SUICIDE OF A SURGEON.—On Thursday last, Mr. Roger Rankine, of Accrington, surgeon, ter d his life while in bed, by opening the vein of tile right 1 1v opened by surgeons in taking blood from patients, wring the main artery by which the arm is u with blood. The deceased had b een at H as li ng d en on the previous night, transacting some important business along with his legal adviser, Mr. Bannister, solicitor, of Accrington. They returned together from Haslingden about four o'clock on Thursday morning. The deceased complained, his sister, during Thursday, of a severe pain in the head, .as much depressed in spirits, attributing his depression co an unfortunate business connected which he said he had formed in Haslingden, and also to other matters of a private nature. At bed time, his sister took leave of him for the night. In the morning, about seven o'clock, she knocked at his bed-room door, and was surprised at receiving no answer; on which she entered the room, and approached his bed. She called her brother by his name and shook ,him ; but still his She then screamed for the servant-maid, r, and immediately ran for Mr. Bannister and neighbours.

TOE CORN LAWS, &c.—When the act of an individual or of a number of persons, or the intention o f an i nd i v i dual, is affirmed, it is possible togive an authoritative contradiction at once, because the individual, or any one of the numb er o f individuals, is competent to give a distinct assurance ; but when the intention of a number of persons is affirmed, you cannot give a categorical answer so promptly, because for any one to reply for all the rest would be not only hazardous. but disrespectful to his associates. He cannot go beyond his belief, and the party instructed by him cannot go further than his instructor. In the case of a cabinet intention the difficulty is still greaten; for, composed as a cabinet is of privy councillors sworn to secrecy, its members will be slower than others to let in light upon the proceedings and inten ions of their body. The utmost that they can - com a safe consci enc e is their general 6eli belief, evenmuni- if, as 4uals, they could know more with certainty, Upon 4e considerations, then, and these considerations only. it as that we used the form of expression employed in Satur ay's Standard, not because we wanted sufficient authority, r had the least doubt upon the matter : we had authority -inz that, as to the past, no project like that announced , ournalist had been urged to or even agitated in as to the future, that it is about as likely , d to cede Scotland to Russia, Kent to cate witt y the wt les to the United States, as to adopt such a no authority, indeed, for saying that no range in the corn laws is meditated ; but our firm convic ion is that these laws have given complete satisfaction, and ,hat for another ten years they will not be meddled with, ex cept in the very improbable case of the return of the whig radicals to power.

LATEST PARTICULARS. Two o'CLocx.—We regret to state that the fireman, in further searching the ruins, discovered three other bodies, namely, that of an elderly female and two children. At at the present moment Mr. Braidwood and his men are lowering the mutilated remains down the ladders in blan kets, and conveying them to a public-house on the opposite side of the street. The latter are supposed to be the mother and sisters of the unfortunate creatures, Julia and Nancy Holland, who :threw themselves out of the win dow. It is impossible to identify them, nothing remaining but their trunks' which are burned to a blackened cinder.— Times of Yesterday. MURDEROUS ATTACK AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE About a quarter before 1 o'clock on Tuesday morning a most determined, and, as it would appear, a long premedi tated attempt at murder, was perpetrated on a female named Elizabeth Magnus, 40 years of age, barmaid at the Auction Mart Tavern, Throgmorton-street, London, by the pot-man at the same house, of the name of William Cannel!, aged 21. At the time above-mentioned loud screams of murder were heard to issue from the area in front of the tavern, and on policeman Chapman, 6-18. who was close at hand, proceeding to ascertain the cause, he saw a female making her escape out of one of the windows, who implored his assistance, saying that murder had been committed in the house. He lost no time, in company with a young man who was passing at the instant, in climbing over the railings and forcing 'his way into the house. They then proceeded up one flight of the stairs, when they saw a female lying on the landing appa rently dead, and Cannell close by her in the act of cutting his own throat. On the approach of the officer, the miscreant was observed to put something into his pocket, which proved to be a razor, he no doubt thinking that he had effected his purpose. He also had a clasp-knife, which, as well as the razor, was covered with blood, and had evidently first used that, but finding it not answer his purpose had recourse to the razor. The officer, however, seized him in time to.pre vent the infliction of any mortal injury on himself, although he had already made an incision in his throat from which a great quantity of blood had flowed. It was then discovered that prior to the attempt on his own life he had discharged a pistolat the barmaid (Elizabeth Magnus), the ball of which had entered her side. Cannell was taken to the station-house in Bishopsgate-street, and a surgeon sent for, who dressed his ..nt to St. Thomas's Hospital in very exhausted state from loss of blood. Other medical gentlemen were called in to attend the unfortunate woman, when it was found that the charge had penetrated her side, just below the shoulder, and had passed out at the opposite hip, fracturing a rib in its progress. On lifting her up the bullet dropped on the floor - She now lies with but little hope of recovery. wounds, and he was Cher The pistol with which the murderous act was committed is a small pocket one, which the prisoner stated he had kept about him loaded for six weeks past, together with the razor and knife above alluded to, and from the fact of having be fore held out vague threats to the barmaid, it would seem that he had long contemplated his murderous intentions. It appears that in the evening Mr. Baker, the landlord, had gone to the theatre, leaving the house in charge of the barmaid, with another female servant and Cannel!. The premises, as usual, were closed'a little before 12 o'clock, and they all three retired to a back parlour to await Mr. Baker's return. They had been there but a few moments when the prisoner began to accost Mrs. Magnus, but apparently in good humour. She rebuked him for his folly, which seemed to make a considerable impression on him, and he then went along a passage to fasten a door, having done which, and while in the act of turning away, the wretch discharged the pistol at her (the report of which was heard by the policeman before he entered the premises), and struck her as before described. She then ran up stairs, and only proceeded to the first landing before she fell, and the other female gave the alarm. Mrs. Magnus, it is stated, is a widow, having a daughter nearly as old as the prisoner. She was a handsome woman, and of a lively disposition. She had held the situation of confidential servant for a long time at the tavern, and was much respected by every one who knew her. Her connexi ons also are respectable tradespeople in the city. Cannell has been in his situation about six months, and was looked upon as a very steady young man. Shortly after coming to the place he appears to have imbibed an ardent attachment to his intended victim, although nearly twice his age, and be soon made her acquainted with his passion. No encourage ment, however, was given to him, but, on the contrary, he met with repulses only ; and it is supposed, that while smart ing under this rejection, he first conceived his deadly inten tion. On Monday evening he took an opportunity again to press his suit, when he met the same reception as before, and then it was be determined upon carrying out his purpose. On being taken to the station-house, Cannell at first resisted the attempts of the surgeon to dress his wound, and appeared quite inconsolable; but on being told that Mrs. Magnus was still alive, he submitted, but afterwards attempted to remove his bandages. A policeman remained with him all night in the ward at St. Thomas's, where he frequently expressed his regret for the cruelty he had shown to the woman be so much loved. :m -ram FLATTERY OVERDONE.—The Commerce observes, that " M. Thiers, the great planner of the Church of the Made leine, has carried his love of flattery so far as to decorate the niches of the church with statues of saints, the patrons of the numerous family of Orleans. At the gate are placed the statues of St Louis and St. Philip, in the interior those of St. Mary and St. Aurelia, patronesses of the Queen, and St. Raphael, patron of the Duke de Nemours. If the temple of the Madeleine has been elevated to the glory of God, it was likewise intended not a little for the glory of the Orleans family." AMERICAN FLOWERS OF .SPEECH.—The Union (demo cratic paper) attacks John Qu i ncy Adams with great ferocity. The formidable character of this attack may be inferred from the following, which is really the only strong passage in the whole article of a column and a quarter :—" The poor old man this time sent forth his poisoned shaft from a bow which he could no longer bend, and it was telum imbelle sine ictu— mere impotent raving." This (says the Courier) has never been surpassed, even by Mr. M`Kean's famous congressional bull last session-." A shot sent without any aim took effect exactly where it w as intended."—New Yo rk Express. A REFORMED DRUNKARD'S STORY.— The following story was lately told by a reformed inebriate, as an apology foi much of the folly of a drunkard :—A mouse ranging about a brewery, happened to fall into one of the vats of beer, ap pealed to a cat to help him out. The cat replied, "It is a foolish request, for as soon as I get you out I shall eat you!" The mouse pitiously replied, that that fate would be better than to be drowned in beer. The cat lifted him out, but the fumes of the beer caused puss to sneeze ; the mouse took re fuge in his hole. The cat called upon the mouse to come out—" You rascal, did you not promise that I should eat you ?" " Ab," replied the mouse, " but you know I was in liquor at the time." COMPASSION OF A JUDGE IN TEXAS. —A very learned and compassionate judge in Texas, on passing sentence on on one John Jones, who had been convicted of murder, con cluded his remarks as follows :—" The fact is, Jones, that the Court did not intend to order you to be executed before next springe, but the weather is very cold—our gaol, unfor tunately, is in a very bad condition—much of the glass in the windows is broken—the chimnies are in such a dilapidated state that no fire can be made to render your apartments comfortable; besides, owing to the great number of prisoners, not more than one blanket can be allowed to each—to sleep soundly and comfortably, therefore, will be out of the ques tion. In consideration of these circumstances, and wishing to lessen .your sufferings as much as possible, the Court, in exercise of its humanity and compassion, do hereby order you to be executed to-morrow morning, as soon after break fast as may be convenient to the sheriff and agreeable to you." Quebec Gazette. CONSOLATORY ADVlCE. — Bernard Barton, the Quaker poet, who, like Lamb, was tied down to the desk for many hours a day, had, at one time, been complaining, we sup pose, of his liver, and of the consequences of sedentary oc cupations. Lamb administers consolation in this laughing vein :—" I know many that are always ailing of it, and live on to a good old age. I know a merry fellow (you partly know him), who, when his medical adviser told him he had drunk away all that part, congratulating himself (now his liver was gone) that he should be the longest liver of the two. The best way in these cases is to keep yourself as ignorant as you can, as ignorant as the world was before Galen, of the entire inner construction of the animal man ; not to be con scious of a midriff; to hold kidnies (save those of sheep and swine) to be an agreeable fiction ; not to know whereabont the gall grows ; to account the circulation of the blood a mere idle whim of Harvey's; to acknowledge no mechanism not visible. For, once fix the seat of your disorder and your fancies flux into it like so many bad humours. Those medi cal gentry choose each his favourite part: one takes the lungs, another the aforesaid liver, and refers to that what ever in the animal economy is amiss. Above all, use exer cise. Believe the general sense of the mercantile world, which holds that desks are not deadly. It is the mind, good B. 8., and not the limbs, that taints by long sitting. Think of the patience of tailors, think how long the Lord Chancel lor sits, think of the brooding hen." At a late hour on Wednesday night the vicinities of the Minories and Goodman's-fields were thrown into a most painful state of excitement by the outbreak of a dreadful tire, accompanied by fearful sacrifice ofhuman life, in Little Pres cott-street, Goodman's-yard, Minories. The prena' which this deplorable event originated were situate west side of the street, within a few yards of the Black. Railway. They consisted of a dwelling-house, four stories high, the property of Mr. Cook, a soap-boiler, in Goodman's fields, who lets them out to numerous families, to the num ber, it was reported, of no fewer than 25 individuals, The ground-floor was tenanted by a greengrocer, named Shackle ton •, the first-floor front room by a foreigner (a manufacturer of Dutch drops) ; the third floor by Mrs. Holland and her four daughters ; and the remainder of the rooms by other persons, the names of whom could not be obtained. The discovery was made at about a quarter past 10 o'clock ; and the parties instantly commenced knocking violently at the street-door, whilst others endeavoured to arouse the inmates by throwing stones at the windows, but for a length of time none of them made their appearance. At last the front-door was opened, and two females :rushed out across the street in a state of nudity. By this time police constables came up when an attempt was made to force a passage up the stair case, but it was found impracticable, in consequence of the smoke and heat, which were intense. A few minutes after wards two females made their appearance at the windows of the second floor, in an abject state of suffering. It was evi dent the window was their only means of escape, and the• mob, which had now increased to nearly 100 persons, shouted out to them to hold on until some ladders were baought, while others called to them to jump oct. One poor creature got one of her legs over the sills of the window, and after remaining in that position a second or two, threw her self out, and fell with awful violence upon the pavement, smashing, apparently, every bone in her body, the height being upwards of thirty-five feet. Directly afterwards the other precipitated herself in a similar manner; but, for tunately, her fall was in a slight way broken by alighting on the lead front of the shop window : before being picked up she was proved to be dreadfully injured, and as soon as the stretcher could be procured, she was forthwith conveyed to London Hospital. The other unfortunate sufferer proved to be dead. She was recognised to be Julia Holland, and the other, her sister, Nancy Holland, y oung women, under the age of three and twenty. In the interval, the terrible ele ment had made rapid progress ; it had extended up the stair case to the rooms above, and shortly shot forth from the roof, attracting an immense concourse of persons to the spot. A body of the H division of police had previously blocked up the different avenues leading to the burning building, thereby affording ample space for th e operations of the fire men, who speedily came up from the stations of the brigade in Jeffery-square, Wellelose-square, Watling-street, and other parts of the city. Sho - rtly after the iire had been somewhat got under, Mr. Braidwood directed several of his men to discover whether any person was missing, and shortly after they learned from a poor man, named Proudfoot, who tenanted a room on the second floor, that three of his child ren were not to b e found. He said he ad saved his wife and two children, but whether any one had preserved the rest he was unable to say. The poodman was running about in all directions in quest of them and appeared almost distracted. Upon this information Mr. Braidwood directed several of his men to ascend the scaling ladders, which had been placed against the wall of the pre mises, and if the i•uins would permit, to search among them. At 1 o'clock in the morning, the bodies of two children were found by Carter, and another of the brigade, among the rafters of the flooring, on the second-floor, shockingly burnt and disfigured. These proved to be poor Proudfoot's children. Shortly after, another body of a child was found on the same floor, apparently a girl of about six years. " East week Mr. Graham, younger of Douglaston, was married to Miss Campbell of Skirving, a beautiful and vir tuous young lady. (GlasgoW Courant of Feb. 9, 1747.) " On Monday l as t, D r. R o b ert Hamilton, Professor of Anatomy and Botany in the University of Glasgow, was married to Miss Mally Baird, a beautiful young lady with a handsome fortune. (May 4, 1747.) " On Monday last, Mr. James Johnstone, merchant in this place, was married to Miss Peggy Newall, a young lady of great merit and a fortune of £4,000. (Aug. 3, 1747.)" Another advertisement, which sounds a little strangely to a modern ear, is the following : " James Hodge, who lives in the first close above the Cross, on the west side of the street. Glasgow, continues to sell burying Crapes ready made: and his wife's niece, who lives with him, dresses dead Corpses at as cheap a rate as was formerly done by her aunt, having been educated by her, and perfected at Edinburgh, from whence she is lately arrived, and has all the newest and best fashions." With respect to politics, these ancient publications cannot be said to have advocated any set of opinions. We are un able to discover what were the real sentiments of their con ductors on the subjects of legislation or government. They are characterised by little unity of design, and appear to have been simply mediums of intelligence, without any attempt to guide or form the public mind on matters of general in terest.— Glasgow Citizen. LLANDRINDOD WELLS.—The Cheltenham Looker-on, after reciting the virtues of these wells, which require, inter alia, to be accompanied with teetotalism, gives the following anecdote of a visitor not passionately addicted to the prac tice :—" . A worthy yeoman of a neighbouring county went to Llandrindod, once on a time, merely to oblige his better half, who promised that he should occasionally be indulged with a glass of his favourite beverage—brandy and water. One evening, the old toper was longing for a drop of com fort, but having had his allowance in the course of the after noon, he dare not ask his wife for any more ; he, however, hit upon the following expedient to carry his point: He asked a friend, who he knew never drank spirits, if be would oblige him by having the stomach ache for ten minutes ? His friend agreed, thinking that there was some joke in embryo. Mr. M. rang the bell, and desired the servant to request his wife to come to him immediately. The good woman soon made her appearance, and the husband said— My dear, poor Mr. Evans has drank so much of the aqua pampas, that it has given him a dreadful fit of cholic ; do, my love, get him a glass of hot brandy and water.' During this time, Mr. Evans was twisting and writhing in his chair, as if in great pain, but ready to burst his sides with laugh ter. Mrs. M. marched into the room followed by the ser vant, bearing a tray with water, sugar, &c., the lady carrying the brandy bottle. When old Silenus eyed the size of the glass tumbler, he said—' This won't do at all ; go and get the largest you can find ; such a thimble full of a thing like this will do my worthy friend no good.' The servant brought in a large goblet, and Mrs. M. mixed up a glorious jorum ; then, most innocently recommended Mr. Evans to drink it, as hot as he could. Go, my love (said M.) and find a large piece of flannel for our afflicted friend, to wrap around him when he goes to bed.' Iss, sure, in a minute,' said the worthy dame—who had no sooner made her exit, than the jolly nose' took up the brandy and water, and drank it off to the speedy recovery of his friend." DREADFUL FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE ANCIENT ADVERTISEMENTS To a newspaper reader of the present day, the advertise ments to be found in these antique prints [Glasgow papers a century ago] are somewhat amusing. While in our own times it would be considered a matter of indelicacy, if not of absolute supererogation, to enlarge on the virtues, the beauty, or the dower of a bride in the common notifications of mar ll riages, it was the custom, a century ago, to apprise the wort of all the most prominent qualities of a lady who had entered into wedlock.

Since the gth instant, the arrival of Potatoes has been light. There has been little variation in the aspect of the trade since our last report—moderate supplies from all quarters have been met:by an equally moderate retail demand, at prices varying little from the quotations of our last,—the great bulk of the business being chiefly confined to the operations of country dealers from the interior, who have been purchasing the best run of Cups from 12d to 12d, and the small quantity sold in retail at the quay range from 13d to 14d per golb.-15d has in some instances been realized for very choice quality.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DECEMBER 13: A few limited parcels of Irish and Canadian Wheat, to gether merely 2,420 quarters, comprise the whole arrivals of this Grain into our port since Tuesday last. Of other Grain as well as Flour received Coastwise and from Ireland, the supplies are also very moderate, but of Oatmeal liberal, and of States and Canadian Flour 2,771 barrels. At our market this morning the Wheat trade exhibited no features of an interesting character, the millers still gene rally hesitating to purchase more than just to serve their immediate purposes ; and devoid at the same time of any speculative indications; the transactions altogether were un important: holders, notwithstanding, were tolerably firm, and we repeat, without alteration, the currency of this day week for all descriptions of foreign ; fine parcels of new Irish, however, ih the present scarcity of supply, were rather improved in value; in English no variation. Superior qua lities of States and Canadian Flour met some demand at 6d. per barrel advance, and Irish was also in better request at previous rates. Malt, including all kinds of malting and grinding Barley, continued to meet a very limited sale on the terms last noted. Beans and Peas remaining unsaleable, were nominally rather cheaper. Oats and Oatmeal, restricted to a very moderate retail de mand, the former barely sustained the rates of Friday last, and the latter declined 3d. per 240 lbs., leaving the extreme quotation of prime Irish 21s. 6d.

COTTON MARKET, DECEMBER 15. Since our last circular the demand for Cotton has somewhat im proved, and although the market wears a rather dull and gloomy aspect, prices continue firm and unchanged for all descriptions of Cotton, except new Boweds, which are plentifully offered from 5d to Zid; the reduction in these has caused a greater inquiry for them, and they form a considerable portion of every day business. The number of bales sold yesterday was 4500, and to-day 4000 bales ; the market closes steadily. VESSELS ENTERED FOR LOADING. (SINCE OUR LAST PUBLICATION.) AFRICA.
