Portrp. HYMN OF THE CHURCH-YARD, (FROM BETHUNE ' S POEMS.) Ah, me ! this is a sad and silent city ; Let me walk softly o'er it, and survey Its erasy streets with melancholy pity ! Where are its children? where their gleesome play? Alas ! their cradled rest is cold and deep, And slimy worms watch o'er them as they sleep! This is pale beauty's bourne r but where the beautiful Whom I have seen come forth at evening hours, Leading their aged friends, with feelings daiful. Amid the wreaths of spring, to gather flowers? Alas I no flowers are here but flowers of death, And those who once were sweetest sleep beneath. This is a populous place : but where the bustling— The crowded buyers of the noisy mart — The lookers-on—the snowy garments rustling — The money-changers—and the men of art Business, alas ! hath stopp'd in mid career, And none are anxious to resume it here. This is the home of grandeur : where are they— The rich, the great, the glorious, and the wise ? Where are the trappings of the proud, the gay — The gaudy guise of human butterflies ? Alas ! all lowly lies each lofty brow, And the green sod dizens their beauty now. This is a place of refuge and repose : Where are the poor—the old—the weary wight— The scorn'd—the humble—and the man of woes — Who wept for morn, and sigh'd again for night ? Their sighs at last have ceased, and here they sleep Beside their scorners, and forget to weep. This is a place of gloom : where are the gloomy? The gloomy are not citizeus of death. Approach and look : where the long grass is plumy, See them above ! they are not found beneath— For these low denizens, with artful wiles, Nature, in flowers, contrives her mimic smiles. This is a place of sorrow : friends have met, And mingled tears o'er those who answer'd not : And where are they whose eyelids then were wet ? Alas ! their griefs, their tears, are all forgot; They too, are landed in this silent city, Where there is neither love, nor tears, nor pity. This is a place of fear : the firmest eye I-lath quail'd to see its shawdowy dreariness • But Christian hope, and heavenly prospects high, And earthly cares, aud nature's weariness, Have made the timid pilgrim cease to fear, And long to end his painful journey here. THE MOCKINGS OF THE SOLDIERS FROM ST. MATTHEW. BY DOCTOR MAGINN. (From Bentley's Magazine for October.) " Plant a crown upon His head, Royal robe around Him spread; See that His imperial hand Grasps, as fit, the sceptral wand : Then before Him bending low, As becomes His subjects, bow; Fenced within our armed ring, Hail Him, hail Him, as our King." Platted was of thorns the crown, Trooper's cloak was royal gown ; If His passive hand, indeed, Grasped a sceptre, 'twas a reed. He was bound to feel and hear Deeds of shame, and words of jeer ; For He whom King in jest they call, Was a doom'd captive, scoff'd by all. But the brightest crown of gold ; Or the robe of rarest fold ; Or the sceptre which the mine Of Golconda makes to shine ; Or the lowliest homage given By ail mankind under heaven ; Were prized by Him no more than scorn — Sceptre of reed, or crown of thorn. Of the stars His crown is made; In the sun He is arrayed; He the lightning of the spheres As a flaming sceptre bears. Bend in rapture before Him, Ranks of glowing Seraphim ; And we, who spurn'd Him, trembling stay The judgment of His coming day. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE MARQUIS OF NORMANBY AT HULL. (From the Hull Times.) The last days of the Festival probably afforded to some of our readers a glimpse of the exquisite demi roue-looking personage whom a radical majority of the town council palmed upon the Queen as a discreet Lord, fitting to be high steward of the borough of Hull. The advent of Lord Normanby on Thursday last, and his reception by the powers that be, we are told, was a grand affair to the good people on the Be verley-road—something that will serve them to laugh at until Christmas. Next morning the all-to-be-ad mired was conducted, in knightly style, by the mayor and a body-guard of police ! with all becoming cere mony, to the oratorio ; but somehow the public had got tired of sight-seeing, and the great lion of the day was suffered to pass without exciting either astonish ment or admiration. When the Lord High Steward alighted at the entrance to the Church of the Holy Trinity, some two 'or three " followers of mine own" doffed their caps, and one cried out, " Let's gie him a cheer, anyhow ;" but the effort stuck in his throat, un responded to by the voices of his fellows. The mar quis, all smiles, however gained the patrons' gallery— but here again his exhibitors were doomed to disap pointment. Scarcely had the first part of the oratoria been performed when a movement of M. Thiers, that ruthless disturber of the ministers' repose, was com municated to the noble Secretary of State, which caused him immediately to quit the church, and in quire for the speediest conveyance to London. A Ca binet Council was to be held within the next four-and twenty hours, and at which it seems even the presence of my Lord Normanby, the acknowledged pis aller of the incapables, was indispensable, and he accordingly took his departure by the railway mail train that night. The lion being gone, the radical rulers began to stare at each other, wondering how they could play off the next day's farce, with the principal character left out. They, however, at last put a bold face on—ad mitted there would be no Marquis, but unblushingly announced that all the other noblemen and illustrious personages, from the Lord Lieutenant down to Sir William Lowthrop, would be present at feeding time. We will not say they knew this would not he the case; but Lord Wenlocli positively declined the honour. Earl Fitzwilliarn, instead of staying to cut mutton in honour of the High Steward, cut away from the town as fast as possible. De Lacy Evans bolted, as he did from Spain ; and other illustrious Whigs, who arrived on Saturday morning, no sooner learned the position of the dinner party, than they played " follow my leader," in a retrograde movement. The spread, therefore, was made as best it could be. The marquis left his secretary, Colonel York, (the only whig of the family,) as his locum tenens ; and the elite of the party was comprised in the persons of two members of the lower house, Mr. Hutt and Mr. Tennyson D'Eyn court. The latter gentleman played deputy Duke of Sussex, that great pattern to whig husbands and pa rents, and for whom he returned thanks when the health of the Queen Dowager and the rest of the royal family was drank. The right honourable gentleman, also, at a later period of the proceedings, alluding to the probability of Mr. Hutt representing another con stituency, told the meeting " his interest was inti mately connected with that of the people of Hull, with whom he thought he might almost claim the honour of being closely allied; and that if, as a member of parliament, or in any other capacity, he could render the least service to any of the inhabitants of the town, he should feel great happiness in doing so." Well, that was kind ! Perhaps the honourable member finds his lease of Lambeth not renewable. We know he has had to seek a fresh constituency at almost every dissolution for the last twenty years. The speeches were, of course, laudatory of whiggism, and replete with the " ca' me, Ca' thee" order usual on such oc casions. Colonel York had, of course, to acknow ledge the honours paid to the " great pan of the dai ry," for whose absence a letter of excuse was read with due lachrymation by the disappointed mayor. How long the orgies lasted we know not ; but Sun day came, and with it the relief of the town from one whig incubus, by the tag-rag taking themselves off. Colonel Yorke was escorted to the railway station by th:, mayor, Mc. Jalland, and tail, and placed in his first-class seat with many profound salaams, by no tresans indicative of olsjection to Sunday travelling. Truth is, we suspect the worshipful knight to be a bit of a casuist on these matters ; that which is profane in a health-seeking Leeds operative, may be practised with impunity by the secretary to a minister of state. Vice appears hideous only in the actions of the poor, " Robes and furred gowns hide all." CORPORATE ENCOURAGEMENT of POPERY. (From the Cork Constitution.) It is well for the House of Lords that Romanism is not yet dominant in England, for were the power of that pure and tolerant system equal to its will, not slight is the penance which the Peers might have to undergo for refusing to the new corporations the means of providing and of erecting ministers for its altar and temples for its worship. The Peers knew well to what purposes such means would be turned in Ireland-- they knew well that, circumstanced as this unhappy country is, there would be no possibility of preserving the funds of the people from the clutches of the priests, and wisely and justly did they therefore determine that, as far as they could, over these funds their reverences should have no control. We can easily imagine their dissatisfaction with the Corporation Bill—we can easily suppose how much pleasanter the pastime of dipping one's fingers into the public purse, and commanding the ecclesiastical edifice to raise its head grandly and gorgeously among the clouds, than is the slow and un certain process of stripping the artisan of his shilling or his sovereign to lavish it in architectural decora tions that mock the misery of his family and himself. The corporation of Galway has made liberal grants towards the completion of a chapel —we believe we should rather call it cathedral —commenced by Dr. Mac Hale; and the corporation of Tuam, where the turgid Titular has his seat, maintains a respectable rivalry in the race 'of Romanism. Their tolls are be stowed with a liberality which cannot but command the archiepiscopal approbation; and if these things be done now, what might we not expect in a few years, when the corporations would have grown bold by ex perience, and when, unchecked by Protestant presence, they would be able to dispose as they pleased of the property of the country ? Thanks to the lords, how that trick was spoiled. The following is the r it iog. if .rvii.. ? ?..ze 0) 1,..„„i-4.'7 1 ....; il p , ) .

The Council voted £2OO of their funds to advance the building of Dr. .M`llale's great chapel, which will be the last grant of that kind they will be allowed to make, as the inhabitants have applied for the 9th George 4th, chap. 82, cleansing, lighting, and watching act. The members also voted £4O for a race plate next summer." DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE. It is said that M. Alusard is to receive £lOO per week for the direction of the Concerts 1Y Hirer, at Drury-lane Theatre. Herr Schumann has signed an agreement to rent Drury lane Theatre for 48 nights for the German Operas. Mr. W. Spalding has been appointed professor of rhetoric and belles lettres in the University of Edinburgh, vacant by the resignation of Mr. Muir. The magistrates havecommitted one man for trial, charged as a principal in the attempt to murder Mr. Biddulph ; his name is Dogherty.—Dublin Evening Mail. The Hon. Martin Ffrench, a minor, second son of Lord Ffrench, the only nobleman in the Repeal Association, is ap pointed to the commission of the peace !—Limerick Chro nicle. Mrs. Frost, the wife of that misguided individual, John Frost, is now reduced to the most pinching indigence, having expended all her money for the defence of her husband. — Bedford Mercury. An apple tree may now be seen in the orchard of Mr. S. Renshaw, of Bolsover Woodhouse, which is in full flower. and, at the same time, is loaded with fruit.—Derby Mercury, The fag pig which gained the first (cottager's) premium at the late Northumberland Agricultural Show, held at Alnwick, when killed, weighed thirty-five stone imperial, including one stone of loose fat. The most propitious weather continues to prevail through out the Northern Counties of England, and in all directions the wheat is nearly gathered in, the quality being found to be unusually good. INLAND Coats.—Wc understand that in the course of this week, a quantity of coals from Clay Cross, Derbyshire, will be brought to the London market. They are said to be equal to the best Wallsend, and can be bought at a cheaper rate.—Hull paper. According to recent decisions, persons who have no dis trainable property refusing to pay affiliation orders for illegi timate children may be indicted for misdemeanor, and are punishable with fine and imprisonment. THE LATE MR. COCKERILL, ?HE ENGINEER.—The Bel gian government has given directions for the body of Mr. J. Cockerill, who died at Warsaw, to be brought to Belgium. It has also been ordered that funeral honors shall be rendered to his remains on their entry into the Belgian territory.— The Court is expected to arrive at Buckingham Palace in the course of three weeks for the Royal accouchement. The alterations at Buckingham Palace, which relate chiefly to the personal convenience of her Majesty and the Prince, are in a forward state of completion.—Standard. THE FALKIRK BURGHS. - At the late Cheltenham conser vative dinner Major Anderson, in returning thanks for his health being drank, said he had been recently canvassing the Falkirk burghs against Mr. Gillon, and he was happy to tell them his election was certain. SIGNALS or DISTRESS. — The collectors of assesssd taxes throughout the kingdom have received peremptory orders from the commissioners at Somerset House, to collect all rates in future one month earlier than heretofore, and to make an immediate return to head-quarters of any defaulter. Saturday last was the forty-seventh anniversary of the Duke of Wellington, being gazetted to the lieutenant colonelcy of the 47th regiment, which his Grace commanded in India. The duke's first commission as ensign, in the 33rd regt., bears date March 7th, 1787, fifty-three years ago. NEW FABRIC.—The most ingenious invention of weaving glass with silk is proceeding with great success. The pat terns wove are beautiful in the extreme, and have induced many of the nobility to select them for curtains and other ornamental furniture. A SMART PACE—The North Britain and Engineer coaches, the latter of which has been notorious for the furious speed at which it is driven, on Tuesday last went from Carlisle to Kendal, a distance of 44 miles, in three hours and forty minutes, including stoppages.—Cumberland Pacquet. Tivy and Juvenile, two blood mares, lately belonging to Mr. Collett, and which have been run several times at our races, have been shipped for Russia on board the Manchester. Lallah Rookh, a filly, well known here, also took her de parture by the same conveyance.—Worcester Herald. PIT PROPS AND RAILWAY SLEEPERS.—The board of customs have ordered that British timber and wood of a de scription and dimensions calculated to be used for pit props and sleepers for railroads, to be added to the list of articles exempt t'rom coast regulations, on removal from port to port in the United Kingdom.—Newcastle Journal. The permanent rails on the line of railway from Gloucester to Cheltenham are now laid down within a few yards of the whole distance between the latter place and the temporary station in course of erection at Gloucester. It is understood, therefore, that the portion of the line will be opened to the public without further delay. HEREFORD FESTIVAL.—We are sorry to hear that the stewards (seven in number) of the recent festival at Here ford, will have to pay about £lOB each, to make up the de ficiency. The Clergymen's Widow and Orphan Society re ceived the total amount of the collections, free of all deduc tions, namely, £1029 17s. 3d.—Musical Journal. It is our painful duty to state that the Countess of Leices ter sustained a compound fracture of the leg, i❑ consequence of a fall from her horse, while riding in the park on Tuesday last. Her ladyship is attended by Mr. Archibald Dalrymple, and we are happy to state was doing as well as could be ex pected on Sunday last.—Bury Post. IMPORTANT.—The officers of the Cork corn market state, that the wheat this season weighs 651bs per bushel, being slbs,—that barley weighs 551bs,—and that oats weigh 451bs, being 7 to 81bs per bushel heavier than the average of many years past. Upwards of 22,000 barrels (of 1961b5.) oats were pitched for sale on Saturday week.—Cork Constitution. HASTINGS.—We understand that a person from the Board of Ordnance has been sent down, preparatory to the battery and Martello Tower in our vicinity being furnished with guns. At present we have not a cannon to tire for hostile, or what is still better, for festal purposes. There is nothing to prevent a French steam-frigate from visiting our coast at day-break, and sounding the reveille from the cannon's mouth.—Brighton Gazette. SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, Three o'Clock. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tnis DAY. Of English, Irish, and Foreign Wheat together, we have received a fair quantity of that grain into this port since Tuesday last, and a large supply of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland, with several parcels of Barley, Malt, and Flour thence and coastwise, and of States and Canadian Flour up wards of 11,000 barrels, which, with previous importations remaining undisposed of, form a liberal display of samples for this day's market ; notwithstanding which the Wheat trade exhibited a rather firmer appearance than on Friday, and although by no means lively, a moderate extent of busi ness was transacted, at the reduced rates then stated. Irish Flour was ls. per sack, and Foreign 6d. per barrel cheaper, with a limited sale for all descriptions. Good English new Malting Barley was held at 38s. to 425. per quarter, but seemed to attract little notice, and other kinds were hardly saleable at a decline of 3d. per 60 lbs. Malt, Beans, and Peas remained nearly the same as describ ed last week. The large supply of Oats at hand, and more expected daily, caused a further abatement in prices this morning, reducing our quotations fully 4d. per 451bs. below those of Tuesday last, at which sales to a moderate amount were effected. Oatmeal, upon a limited demand, was 2s. 6d. lower than on this day se'nnight, good Irish new having receded to 255. to 265. per 240 lbs.

Citmiac, 12th Sept.—The United Kingdom is in the Culde.Sur, with damage to keel and copper, having been on Shore. The Lineastec town.council, by a majority of one, have determined on the discontinuance of the races of that town. No races have taken place at Leominster this year, owing to the reluctance of gentlemen to accept the office of steward, and the want of necessary funds. STOCKPORT VIADUCT.-011 Tuesday, the 26th the last arch of that stupendous piece of architecture, the viaduct of the Manchester and. Birmingham Railway, at Stockport, was completed. The facetious Sydney Smith, of Edinburgh review celebrity, but now ashamed of his old friends the whigs, has nicknamed Mr. Babbletongue Nlacauley " Book-in-Breeches." The joke will stick : there never was a better one. WHITE PHEASANT.—On Friday last, William Gibson, Esq., of Ellel, whilst shooting on the grounds at Ashton Park, had the fortune to kill one of those very rare birds, the white pheasant. The bird is perfectly white, and it is Mr. Gibson's intention to have it stuffed and preserved as a natu ral curiosity.—Lancaster Gazette. FACTORY ACCIDENTS.—On Friday last, at Haslingden, an aged man, who works in a factory, by some means got en tangled by a strap, and had his leg taken off. In about 20 minutes after, a young man, son of the unfortunate indivi dual, was killed in the same mill; and the week previous, a boy had his head literally torn off at the same place.—Man chester Guardian. COURSING CHALLENGE.-. 1 correspondent informs us that the Newmarket coursers have challenged the Lancashire gentlemen to run twenty-five courses, for £2O each course, and £5OO the main ; as there is no lack of either dogs, spirit, or cash in the north, the match is very likely to be made. — Blackburn Standard. SECOND BLOOM.—There is to be seen in a garden belong ing to Mr. William Sellers, innkeeper, Hornby, a pear tree in full bloom, as if it had been in the months of April or May, at this present. though untimely season of the year. The tree is growing in a situation sheltered from the N. and N. E. winds, and had previously produced an abundant crop of pears. How wonderful is the contrast ! whilst we are daily beholding the leaves of trees falling in every direction nipped off by the sharp frost in the mornings.—Lancaster Gazette. EXTRAORDINARY DEATH.—An inquest was held on Thursday last at Higham, on the body of Henry Atkinson, aged 11 years. It appeared from the evidence that on the Tuesday preceding the deceased was riding on an ass, and had tied himself on by placing a cord round his own body and round the ass's neck. The ass threw him on the ground, and galloped about half a mile on a rough road with the boy dragging at its heels. He was taken up dead, and very much disfigured. Verdict, accidental death.—Blackburn Standard. CONSECRATION OF HALLIWELL CHURCH. — The new church at Halliwell, near Bolton, was consecrated on Sun day week, by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chester. After the ceremony a sermon was preached by the Rev. Henry Raikes, chancellor of the diocese. In the afternoon the Lord Bishop preached au excellent sermon from 2d Chronicles, last chapter, 13th and 14th verses, in the course of which he alluded, in forcible terms, to thei necessity of providing places of public worship, and the people embracing the opportunities they offer in attending to their spiritual welfare. Collections were made at the close of the service, in aid of the church fund, which amounted, in the whole, to £BO 3s. 11d. WARLIKE PREI'ARATIONS AT JERSEY.—We extract the following from the Jersey Chronicle:—" Every preparation is making to place the fortifications in this island in a com plete state of defence. The guns are being mounted on Fort Regent, and orders have been issued to mount guns on all the towers recently erected around the coast. There is at Fort Regent a battery of 24 pieces of artillery, which it is in tended to add to those already in use by the Royal Jersey Militia. It is also stated, that, in the event of a war, a brigade, composed of 24 pieces of artillery of the same calibre, would be sent from England to relieve the depot garrisoned here. We understand, that the 11th Regiment of the Line is shortly to be garrisoned in this island, in which case the 45th dep3t will be quartered at St. Peter's Barracks. Among the measures in course of operation by the bank for contracting the currency, one is said to be the disposal of those immense mortgages on the Rutland property, which have been for so many years held by the bank, and which be ing an improper banking asset has always been a great incum brance to them. The rumour is, that one of the wealthy in surance companies, for whom this would be as proper an in vestment as it is an improper one for the Bank of England, will take it off their hands. The disposal of the dead weight to any large amount is considered perfectly impracticable at present through any such medium ; but it is conceived, if the bank were so inclined, that an arrangement might be made with the government to substitute savings -bank stock for some portion of it. The general persuasion is, however, that the bank will cling to this security with as much perti nacity as ever. As far as it goes, there can be no doubt that to get rid of their mortgages would be a most sensible relief. —Times. COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—A dreadful accident which will probably be attended with loss of life, occurred at Halliwell Colliery, near Bolton, on Tuesday morning. Two boys, one named Settle, aged 18, and the other Rylands, about 12 years of age, had just got into the tub to descend the shaft, when, from some cause or other, they were both thrown out, and fell to the bottom, a distance of 50 yards. They were soon afterwards brought out, and taken to their respective homes, and Mr. Chadwick, surgeon, sent for, when it was discovered that the eldest had both thighs and one arm severely frac tured ; and the younger, his legs fractured, and his head and face severely injured. They both lie in a dangerous state, slight hopes being entertained of their recovery. EXTRAORDINARY OBSTRUCTION ON THE MANCHESTER A.ND LEEDS RAILWAY.—On Thursday, the Sth instant, as the first train from Leeds towards Manchester, arrived near the Bradford and Huddersfield station at Brighouse, the signal was made to " stop the train," and assemble the con stables, owing to an obstruction of the way caused by a person of the name of John Holroyd, who had collected a number of men from the neighbourhood, and persisted, in defiance of the constables of the railway, whom they overpowered, in placing wheelbarrows with stones, &c. on the rails, notwith standing they syre cautioned that great loss of life might follow to the passengers of the train expected every minute. A strong force of constables were soon brought up, and three of the parties taken into custody and conveyed, handcuffed, to Halifax, the most active having been fined £5 and costs for the trespass ; and the other two, who it appeared had acted under the influence of Holroyd, were (by the request of Captain Laws, who was in the train,) admonished and dis charged, when an application was made for a warrant to apprehend, under Lord Seymour's act, John Holroyd, of Brighouse, who was taken into custody on Saturday, and committed to take his trial at the next assizes, on the most incontrovertible evidence; which, in all probability, will be the first commitment under this very useful act of the last session of parliament, Ivhich, for this serious offence, awards a punishment of not exceeding two years' imprisonment, with or without hard labour, at the discretion of the court. It appears that Holroyd is a person of some property, and the case altogether seems a very proper one to make an example of. We understand that Holroyd baricaded himself in his house for thirty-six hours before he could be taken. The extraordinary and reckless conduct of this.man, who, we un derstand, is a land-surveyor, arises, we belive, out of some dispute as to a road which the railway company have diverted. —Manchester Guardian. INCENDIARY FIRES.—On Sunday morning last, about a quarter before two o'clock, a fire was discovered to have ori ginated in one of the bleaching rooms at Mr. T. B. Cromp ton's mill, Farnworth Bridge, near Bolton. An alarm was instantly given, and the two engines at the works were promptly brought out. Mr. Barnes's engine from Moses' Gate, and that from Messrs. Crompton's at Prestolee, were also immediately on the spot, and by great exertions the flames were extinguished by about half-past four o'clock. Sergeant Moody, and the county police at Farnworth, were in attendance, and of great service. On Monday evening, about nine o'clock, a fire again broke out at another bleach ing room, at the same works, and it was apprehended from its contiguity to the paper and other rooms that great damage would ensue, and cocsequently a messenger was despatched to Bolton on horseback for the town's engines. The borough police on duty, hearing the alarm of fire, and seeing an en gine pass through the streets, drawn by horses at full gallop, immediately sprung their rattles, and rang the fire bells. Before their arrival, the fire had fortunately been got under, and they were not brought into play. That the tires have been the work of incendiaries, there is scarcely a doubt, from the manner in which they took place, and from the fact that there has been a disagreement between Mr. Crompton and the workpeople ; thirty men and boys having been dis charged on Saturday night, in consequence of their refusing to work at reduced wages. The damage sustained will be about £lOOO, but the property is insured to the full amount. REPRESENTATION OF YORK.—On Thursday, great ex citement was caused amongst the freemen and electors of this city, by the appearance of a long address from Mr. C. F. Barkley, who contested the city on the radical interest, in 1835, and who was much mixed up in the parliamentary pro ceedings to disfranchise the freemen, on the ground of bri bery, in the following year. He has declared himself a can didate for the representation of York at a future election. Some time ago, Mr. Yorke, of London, son of Redhead. Yorke, who was imprisoned for sedition during the admi nistration of Lord Castlereagh, was brought forward by the Radical Asociation ; since then the two secretaries of that association have been distributing sovereigns to the " liberal" freemen, as they allege, in payment, by the Hon. E. Petre, of the sums which he promised nearly a dozen years ago ! This conduct is denounced in the city as bribery—particu larly as the widows and orphans of deceased freemen, who voted for Mr. Petre, have been forgotten. For this conduct Mr. Barkley boldly denounces his old friends, for paying this head money, and then asks " Why the claims of the widows and orphans of the deceased freemen have been utterly neg lected ? 'What could have been more calculated to show the prospective character of the late payments than the fact that these widows and orphans remain unpaid for the votes of their deceased relatives, whilst the still living voters, who can again serve a liberal candidate, have all received their almost forgotten claims." Where the money has come from has not been ascertained. It is pretty clear, however, that Mr. Petre has not given it, and that it has not been subscribed in York. Mr. Barkley's address will doubtless create a further division amongst the liberal party, which are now in a miserable mi nority in the corporation where they were formerly masters, and which is fast dwindling down into insignificance. No doubt can be entertained that, let an election come when it may, two conservatives will be returned for York. KIDDERMINSTER.—CREDULITY AND SUPERSTITION.— A singular case of this nature has recently occurred in Kid derminster, the narration of which will, we hope, have a ten dency to put confiding female servants upon their guard against the artful tricks and designs so frequently practised upon them by pretended sybils, commonly called fortune tellers. It seems that on the evening of Thursday last one of this tribe called at the house of Mr. Hill, hat-manufacturer, in High-street, under pretence of being a " mender of broken chairs," and asked if any work of that sort was required. Being answered in the negative, she expressed a desire to tell the servant-maid, Susan, her fortune ; but this " insight into futurity" was de c li ne d b y t h e l atter , at l east f or t h e present ; the sybil, however, would not be so easily discouraged, and therefore wished to know if she (Susan) had a nice new gown, such a one as would do to be married in, as such would be her lot before long. This prospect was too charming for Susan to contemplate unmoved, and in a thrice produced to the arch impostor a fine new gown, which met the approval of the latter ; who then drew forth a " fine gold" wedding ring, which Susan contemplated with feelings of delight, and offered to exchange it for th e gown unt i l the next day, when, if Susan did not like it, she would re t urn t h e gown, and take the ring back again. The proposed exchange was soon agreed upon, and the impostor departed ; but the next day she never made her appearance ; and the poor g i r l, f ee li ng uneasy, de termined to examine her prize, which she had carefully wrapt up, and deposited in a place of safety, when, to her utter surprise and mortification, the " gay gold ring," for which she had given her new gown in exchange, turned out to be nothing more or less than a brass article wo r th a b out one penny. Immediately on making this discovery, Susan sent for her mother, accompanied by whom she visited the differ ent lodging-houses in the town, with a view to discover the woman ; but she had prudently withdrawn herself in the in terval and was not to be found. Finding all their eff or t s un availing, they at length made application to the police, but were soon informed that their best plan would be to rest con tented with the present loss, coupled with a caution to Susan, to be careful how she obtained a wedding ring in future.— Staffordshire Gazette. AWFUL CONFLAGRATION AT GATEHOUSE. - W e lament to state, that the upper cotton mill, of fourstories, with thirty iwiei r n y d , o win e including s seventy-four story , d o w in i t s h , va was l u a btloetmac yd h e i . - stroyed by fire on the morning of Wednesday last. It is un derstood that the proprietors, Messrs. Birtwhistle and Co., insured the buildings, and Mr. Davidson the machinery at their full value. By this accident two hundred people are thrown out of employment. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL MISCELLANY. Accounts from the Hague. October 9, state that his Ma. jesty, William 1., will take the title of William Frederic, Count of Nassau. Some symptoms of civil war have begun to manifest them selves in La Vendee. Prayers have ceased to be offered in several churches for Louis Philippe. CEYLON COFFEE CROP. — We are informed, on the au thority of persons from the interior, that the prospects of the coming coffee crops are most encouraging; the bushes being loaded with fruit, under the weight of which they already bend.—Colombo Observer, Aug. 3. A private letter from Paris states that the English were quitting that city—that the hotel-keepers were pulling long faces—that English bank-notes were at a discount of four sous per one pound, and that the funds were expected to go ATHENS, SEPT. 16.—Sir Robert and Lady Inglis are here, and are staying with Sir Edmund Lyons. Accounts have just been received of the death of an English traveller, Mr. Edward Archdall, who was travelling in the north of Greece. He expired at a village near Livadia, it is said from a fever brought on by exposure to the sun. COAL MINES AT TFIE. HAVANNAH.—SeveraI mines of capital bituminous coal have been discovered at Havannah, fully equal to the best English. This is good news for the West India and South American steam-ships from England, that are projected to touch outward and homeward at the great West India port.—Journal of Commerce. Admiral Hugon, whose arrival off the Dardanelles has been announced, had not, on the 19th ult., left the coast of Greece, if we are to believe the following letter written on that day by a French resident at Athens, which we find in the Commerce :—" The French fleet, commanded by Admi ral Hugon, is at the Piraeus, and, it appears, does not intend to leave these shores. More than two hundred of its officers have taken out licenses to shoot. The admiral expects to pass the winter in this roadstead. The Powers, it is said, have applied to the Greek government to join them, and to refuse the French fleet any shelter." The Progre's du Pas de Calais states that Prince Louis Napoleon informed a gentlemen who visited him in the €Du ciergerie at Paris, that when he landed at Boloagne, he had in his coat pocket a pocket-book, in which were English notes for £3OOO, and a considerable sum in gold, all of which, when his coat was returned to him, after having been dried from his immersion in the water, were missing. This jour nal adds, that if they did not fall into the sea, and any one has happened to find them, they may be sent to the prince at Ham. The Emancipation of Toulouse has a long report of a re form manifestation in that town, at which M. Arago, the astronomer, but no conjuror, was the great gun. The follow ing were some of the toasts : " To the principle and triumph of democracy." " To perseverance (id. est, revolution.)" " To the alliance of the people ! " " To the democratic propagandism ! " " To the revolutionary propagandism, which is to restore to Italy her independence and Poland her nationality. To Germany her free unity, and to Spain democracy. To Bel gium and France one country. To France her preponderance abroad, and the sovereignty of the people at home. To the oppressed people. to whom the first cannon shot will give emancipation. To the National Convention." DEATH FROM A POISONOUS SNAKE COOKED IN FOOD.— A very melancholy event took place a few days ago in Zilla Moorshedabad. The wife of a Mahomedan in Tarkpoor, cooked some vegetables for her children (three boys) in which she had unconsciously cut up a small poisonous snake. When the boys were eating the vegetables with their rice, one of them found in his plate a piece of the snake, and immedi ately asked his mother if she had put fish in the vegetables. The mother was surprised, and replied in the negative, upon which the boy showed her the piece of snake he had found. The woman was still more astonished, and bade her sons to eat no more. She then examined the dish of vegetables, and found that she had inadvertently cut up a snake with the vegetables. But she discovered her error too late. All her three sons died shortly after, from having eaten of the, no doubt, poisoned vegetables.—Benyal Commercial Adver tiser, Aug. 5. MORE FRAUDS OF THE CHINESE. — We have been given to understand that a considerable amount of fraud is disco vered in the China goods lately imported per several vessels ; and in order to protest against the same, a meeting of several merehants met the day before yesterday in the house of Ebra him Cadoo, the owner of the ship Atiet Rahimon, when in their presence, twenty-five chests of raw silk were opened, and instead of twenty bundles, as usual, only nine bundles of silk were found in each ; and to make up the weight, small pieces of China bricks were discovered, wrapt up in grass in the midst of them. We have also learned, that in China piece goods, similar frauds have been practised,—small planks and some such weighty articles being wrapt up in the middle of the pieces. It is supposed that these pranks must have been practised either at Macao, or by boatmen in bringing the same there from Canton ; for individuals experienced in China trade gave it as their opinion, on examining the same, that it could never have been done by the original merchants in China.—Doorbin, July 22. IMITATION OF THE HUMAN VOICE.—We are informed by the Fanal, Brussels paper, that M. Glantz, one of the first mechanics of Vienna, has been at work for several years in forming an instrument, which his ingenious mecha nism has at length succeeded in making imitate the sounds of the human voice. The instrument, it is said, is now completed, and that it acts in a manner altogether unex pected. It is stated t o b e a chef d'cpuvre of mechanism. By pressing a spring, it executes different melodies in a tenor voice, a barytone or deep bass. This instrument, it is further more added, excites, as it might naturally be supposed to do, if the account of it be correct, the most lively sensations in the salons of Vienna. M. Glantz intends to make an auto maton, in the head of which he will introduce his voice instrument, the mechanism of which occupies very little room. THE CAMP AT BELMONT.—The Courier du Bas Rhin announces that the camp of 15,000 men destined to be formed at Belmont has already began to receive troops ; 4000 men are already in barrack there, and this number will he increased so soon as,new barracks are completed and rendered capable of receiving them. ACCURATE INTELLIGENCE.—The National of Wednes day announces, that on the arrival of the intelligence that an attempt had been made to set fire to the dockyard at Sheer ness " an emeute burst forth in London, upon which occa sion the people rushed upon the hotel of one of the ministers, and sacked his mansion !" GREAT PUBLIC DINNER TO DR. THOMAS ROLPII.—On Tuesday last a public dinner was given in the City-hall to Dr. Thomas Rolph, as a proof of the estimation in which he is held by the citizens of Toronto, for the unremitting exer tions used by him, during his recent tour through the United Kingdom, to bring before the British public the resources and capabilities of this province. The hall was most taste fully decorated with oak boughs and evergreens, together with the flags and banners of the different societies in the city. A full-length portrait of the Queen was placed at the head of the room over the centre table. The tables were ranged in four divisions to accommodate the large party who attended on this occasion. The chair was occupied by his honor the Vice-Chancellor, and the vice-chair by W. B. J arv i s , E sq ., Sheriff of the Home District. The vice-presidents at the other tables were the Mayor of the city, the Honourable J. Elmsley, and Mr. Barwick.—(Toronto P a t r i o t, o f S ep t. 18.) Dr. Rolph delivered, on his health being drunk, a long and interesting speech. THE DEVIL AND A SociAmm—One night last week, a young man, who has unfortunately imbibed the dangerous and foolish principles of Owen, was in company with his sweetheart in the lotter's house, when the subject of Social ism came on the carpet for discussion. The young man had moralized to a great length, and, thinking that he had van quished every opposing argument, got so d es p era te as to boldly assert there was not such a thing as a Devil, adding that if there was, he wished he might pop his head in the house, and convince him, by ocular demonstration, of his existence. The hour when ghosts and hobgoblins generally take their rambles was fast approaching, and still our Socialist con tinued to express his belief and wish. Just at the crisis a young man who labours in the dark d oma i ns of the earth, was on his way home, pd hearing the vo i c es of the loving pair, resolved upon giving them a "start." For this purpose he softly lifted the latch of the door, and stealing gently into the lobby, popped his sable head —a n d on l y hi s h ea d—round the partition, in full view of the disbeliever in his Satanic majesty. The young man's eyes caught the object before him, and believing that his wish wa s grante d him, sprang from the embrace of his sweetheart, leapt on the floor in ter ror, and did not know where to fly . or wh a t to do in order to be relieved from his dreadful situation. The young man who had been so desperate as to present his black face before them, was greatly amused, though he could not see why he should be an object of terror to the young desperado, who will no doubt hereafter believe in the existence of a being who goes about as a roaring lion. — Whitehaven Herald.

The sales of Montreal Ashes continue to be very limited, at 27s 6d for new Pot, and at 29s 6d for new Pearls.

Tobacco.—The demand continues, the sales this week reaching 500 hhds., the Trade, Irish Deals and Exporters having purchased freely, a few hhds. have also been taken on speculation. For Brimstone the demand continues in the same unsatisfactory state as for some time past; the sales are for immediate consumption, and amount to about 100 tons only. All descriptions of Sumac have been in limited request. Nothing worthy of notice has been done in Argols, Cream of Tartar or brown Tartar. Small parcels of flag Annatto continue to be saleable at is to Is Id per lb, at which rates about 20 casks have been disposed of. The market for Valonia has been excedingly dull and depressed ; at a public sale of 150 tons, only 60 of superior Smyrna were disposed of, at £lB lOs to £l2 17s 6d, and 35 tons fine Camatina at £l9 105 to £2O per ton. There are no sales to Hotiee in Madder or Madder Roots, or in Quercitron Bark. 2000 Rockets East India Linseed are reported sls per quarter.

For Fish Oils the market generally has been very dull; last week's advance in pale Seal Oil has been maintained, but, except a sale of 50 tuns old Oil, the price of which is not reported, the transactions have been confined entirely to retail lots; a few tons of Cod Oil brought £2B 5s per ton. Pale Rape and Linseed Oils continue in the most limited demand, at former prices. In Oil of Turpentine there is not the least alteration to notice; 52s is with difficulty obtained, except for limited quantities. Palm Oil.—Notwithstand ing the principal holders continue firm, and are still looking for higher prices, the market has again rather given way ; the sales this week comprise about 150 tons in small lots, chiefly at £3O per ton. Hemp and Flax continue steady, and for some retail parcels Petersburgh Hemp a further advance of lOs per ton has been realized ; in East India sorts the only sales reported are 50 bales Manilla at £29 Is, and 50 bales Sunn at £2O per ton. Tallow continues in the same dull state as for some weeks past, but holders appear disposed to await time demand with firmness, and hardly any alteration can be remarked in prices since our last.

Several cargoes of Wheat have arrived coastwise and the week's supplies of this grain are to a tolerably fair amount. They include about 1,800 quarters from Ireland. Those of Irish Oats and Oat meal are liberal, 10,300 quarters and 6,000 loads respectively; and consist, for the most part, of cargoes brought up by the change of wind during the last three days. Of Foreign produce the imports comprise 4,100 quarters of Wheat, 1,220 quarters of Beans, and 2,215 barrels of Canadian Flour. Duties have been paid upon 670 quarters of Wheat, 1,200 quarters of Beans, and 250 barrels of Flour. The rate of impost on the first-named article is now 21s 8d per quarter, on Flour 13s Id per barrel. The trade, generally, has, throughout the week, ruled dull; and free Foreign Wheat has been sold at 2d to 3d per bushel below the rates quoted on this day se'n night, whilst Irish new must be noted 4d to 6d per bushel cheaper : 8s 3d the top price for red, Limerick : of tolerably fair quality, selling at 7s Gd per 70 lbs. Foreign Flour has also declined in value Gd per barrel, home manufacture Is per sack The liberal supplies of Irish new oats and Oatmeal have pressed down prices of both articles : best mealing samples of the former have been sold at 2s lld to 3s per 451bs, Oatmeal at 26s to 25s 6d per load. No change as regards Barley. Old Beans have become very scarce best English worth 50s to 52s per quarter. A few new have ap peared, and brought 4ss per quarter. Grinding Peas have met a moderate demand at 408 to 41s. per quarter. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARRET, Ocr. 19.

In the Circular of last week, the aspect of political affairs was noticed as producing an unfavourable effect upon the market ; the stringent measures of the Bank of England have contributed again this week to the depressed state of feeling, and the market has worn a languid apppearance, with a decline in prices of fully id per lb on all descriptions of American during the last fortnight, In Brazil, Egyptian and Surat little or no change can be noticed. Speculators have taken 350 American, and Exporters 140 Carthagena.

There is very little doing in Butter ;—nevertheless, we think, there exists a feeling favourable for investment on speculation, provided a shilling or two further reduction in price were sub mitted to. The present currency of Belfast first quality is 988 to 100 s per cwt. No alteration in other articles coot ected with the trade, except perhaps in Bacon, which is 2s per cwt. lower.
