The treasury toln4heeatik:•upt, the public officers receiving only one-halt . es ir stipends, and one-third of that half paid in the tee of a bank that had suspended payment. The Ja 'eca markets had not improved, in consequence of news received from England of the probable success of the Mi- I r 'p e terial measures. Sugar was quoted as last reported from gston 16s. to 21s. per 100 lb. • the House of Assembly an amendment was carried ,l'ur,t:Yiaekai;:idress to the Governor, which is in effect a refusal of House to issue treasury certificates for the purpose g good the sum of £14,361, which appeared on _ukti 4iniates of the present year to be the excess of ex ee .diture over income. Petition had been presented to the house from the I ". l e nt era Bank, praying the hme-e to aid it in its present cultes. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. It way said in Jamaica, that his Excellency the Governor h a dd eclared, that inasmuch as the house had refused to fh te e tit the supplies, he would not permit them to carry out f i e ,Pl'ayer of the Planters Bane directors for aid in their eeaeulties.

Y a It appears that considerable arrears leei lB46 and IL a i s are due p to the vestry of St. Mary's, and • ,es on various properties were in consequence ordered F uer the superintendence of Mr. Deputy-Collector Rigg. That gentleman in the performance of his duties was sur -Bnded by a body of about 200 men armed with sticks, tiee and experienced some very bad treatment, and was th his servants eventually beaten off and forced to retire. the police afterwards reported that a large body of armed ten were in the neighbourhood, and were determined to e p ense any seizu re f or taxes. Th e l oca l mag i stra t e s had matter in hand on the steamer's departure, and it was tq known wh a t s t eps wou ld b e a d o pt e d to put an end to i e disturban ces .

Barbadoes the crops were very good. In most of other islands, which the hurricane had not visited, the fe ather was generally favourable. 1)Z S TRUCTIVE HURRICANE IN THE WEST INDIES. I(i l3 t , li the 21st and 22d ult. the islands of Antigua, St. Nevis, and St. Thomas, were with a severe Pa;' ea ," ; i ' t commenced in Antigua visited on the 21st, at half eleven, a.m. and ended at half-past 1, a.m. of the isl a ,,',the fall of barometers on the north side of the sid e including St. John's, was six. tenths ;on the south ei g h' L ° which the damage was chiefly confined, it was ?hill tenths. The damage done in the parishes of St. be e St. Mary's, and St. Paul's, was supposed to have of fB gre ater in extent than caused by the great hurricane d e n „'• In St. Mary's scarcely a house escaped the th: 7 ' a thig influence of the storm. A vast number of inhabitants were rendered houseless and destitute ; 70 A peo ple sound accommodation in the cellar belonging to t Parsonage, the upper part having been blown away. 4.Elother party of 120 were receiving temporary shelter in e 't" schoolroo m belonging to the Moravian establishment Alph?ld-road. The parish churches of St. Mary's and St. All were unroofed, and the chapels of St. Barnabas and at s ? , a_ipts totally destroyed. _ The damage to the buildings 6 “uleV and English Harbour was very severe. The barracks at Middle Ground, with the exception of one , -41 , were completely blown down. The estimated da 7age to the military buildings alone was from £20,000 to - " 45 ,000. At the dockyard the capstan housewas destroyed ; at the dicers' qu arters one half of the roof and gallery Rag blown over the other half. The north part of the and St. John's, escaped with comparatively trifling d amage ; but at the roadstead, the ship Denison, belong "lg to Messrs. Shands. of Liverpool, was compelled to strike her topmasts, and afterwards to cut them and the It;ging away, and thus escaped total loss. The hurricane l'eared to be of very little breadth, having missed the Isla n d of Bermuda on the north, and Monserrat on the south, but c on ti nued its course to St. Kitts and Nevis ; in t v h_e e haTbour of th e f ormer island a b arque was di smaste d. h Yve st India steamers Medway and Eagle rode out the hurricane at St. Thomas's, by dropping two anchors be sides their usual moorings. A French ship of 350 tots Was wrecked —crew saved. A number of lives are stated I 2 have been lost in Antigua, Nevis, St. Kitts, and St. [homes, from accidents occurring during this frightful visitati on. In the island of St. Kitts all the estates were more or Nured. The church in Basseterre received much sii. m ,, a ge, and a great many of the negro cottages were de -1.40-,;,ed. The barque Benjamin Green, Captain Laws, of tv a - re, was dismasted. A schooner from St. Martins at 4 ,iost, with all hands on board; several small craft sank a ,,llleir an c h ors , and several lives were lost both on the :er and on shore. The Rosebud, Captain Harrison, 4 .. . in the anchorage, and the whole of the crew peTished. s mart shock of an earthquake was felt at St. Kitts on ill morning of the 27th of August, but it did no damage pie or property. opNassau torn up weather had prevailed. Numbers trees were torn up by the roots, houses unroofed, and a t re at deal of d amage done to the island. Minute guns b,, er ,e, heard to the northward on the night of the 22 d, and the 23d thirty sail of wreckers got under weigh to look 0 1 ,t for vessels in the various channels that had gone on cre.

I,: t Y‘ 7 e have received by express from Marseilles our usual t h ers and papers in anticipation of the overland mail. dates of these advices are, Calcutta, August 7th, e ta baY, August sth, Madras, August 12th, and Hong July 25th. T he intelligence brought by this arrival with respect to e state of affairs in Moolton continues to be of the most t e , a ,uraging kine. Lieutenant Edwardes and his gallant vi;ners in arms, Lieutenant Lake and General Cort -4,1'1, in conjunction with the Sikh forces under the 4 P 4l l Emamoodeen, had been attacked, on the Ist of fo I . IY, at the village of Sadoosam by the whole available I„, c epf Dewan Moolraj. A smart action ensued, which upwaras of six hours, and resulted, like that of the y" ,of June, in the total discomfiture of the Mooltanees. ;; ° „?'"ai commanded in person , and sustai ned the action .' considerable bravery until a cannonball struck the a ?,Wdah of his elephant and prostrated him in the dust, et' which mishap he escaped on a horse into the city of i4ooltan, under the walls of which the village of Sadoosam t a l tituated. His 'followers soon followed the example of *V' chief, and were hotly pursued by the British forces, of .k i i .°nly relinquished their attack on reaching the gates vi:',,,ooltan. Four guns were captured on this occasion, I t : 11 410 5s to the British of only 18 killed and 70 wounded. Ye it 4 i ." 3B that this second great success, at a season of the nicni h wilen Indian troops are supposed to be incapable of at t"g has at last opened the eyes of those in authority aiimallOre, and that they have actually made up their f i , s to send a strong force to support Lieut. Edwardes. th e vr ue united forces of Edwardes, Cortlandt, and our ally f o ,.", a wau, were by the last advices encamped not far aloolt b an, but were unable to commence operations tgal ll st the fort owing to a want of artillery. A requisi tab' I °r a siege train was forwarded to the Resident at - ?re and by him transmitted to Calcutta, where , a ' l e eLal. ' council was held, as was generally believed, for the p s l.P °se of deciding on the request. What were the pre b4deliberations of the supreme conclave was not known; its „ la the meantime a force had commenced march to re assistance of Edwardes, consisting of about 500 artil tejY, 1500 cavalry, 1500 European, and 3000 native infan- L a Y h This force suffered very severely on its march from °r e. Two native soldiers implicated in the late con trlraeY had been hanged. In none of the adjoining coun '3 had there been the slightest disposition to revolt. th e SIONARY CALAMITIES. — We regret to learn from hav e Pub papers that Dr. Bettlehehn and his family they all been murdered at the catal of Loo Choo, where CO: were residing. Dr. Bettleheim , who went to Loo D ro °.uncler the auspices of the Bishop of London, who of s tal sed, we believe, to ordain him after a specified term hunervice in the Loo Choo mission, was a native of *as rY , -was originally of the Jewish persuasion, and uc,ted for the surgical profession. He afterwards 1071sillentiously joined the Church of England. He was a ha lf il inan of much talent. The disastrous fate which zw _ s ...,e n - upon them is said to have visited the Romish add Thnaries also. To this mournful catalogue we may . tica n at D ames and his wife—the n Ame chi_ attached) as medical man to the Baptist e mission in ken",,a,Nvere both lost by shipwreck within sight of 6 lung. AMERICA. The Britannia steam-ship arrived at Liverpool early on Wednesday morning. The Niagara, with the outward mails, arrived at New York on the 31st ultimo, and her intelligence cau-zed an immediate advance in the price of bread stuffs. The weather for all the growing crops con filmed to be very fine, and nothing has yet occurred to render a full cotton crop doubtful. The Irish agitation has entirely ceased. The Money Market at New York was easy. Sterling Exchanges; 9to 91- • Treasury Notes, 1031. From Canada we learn that the three leaders of the repeal party had been arrested for stealing cannon ball from the barracks. The Americans were in a state of great excitement on the subject of the presidential election. General Cass arpears to have little chance of success now that there are so many candidateg to divide the votes. The anti-slavery party (the Whigs), with Mr. Daniel Webster at their head, are strongly opposed to General Taylor, who is a slave-holder, and whom, though an excellent army officer, they do not deem a suitable person to fill the highest political office in the state. Mr. Van Buren is the Whig candidate. The New York papers received by the Britannia state that the supply of the Croton Water has been reduced one-half, and add that " the hydrants are kept closed, the fountains are not permitted to play, and at a season of the year when most wanted, we find that our aqueduct, reser voirs, and drains, built at an expense of fifteen millions of dollars, fail to afford the means of cleansing the city." From a Montreal paper, it appears that four of the men with the expedition in search of Sir John Franklin lost their way in a snow storm and perished. The great Mormon Tample, at Nauvoo, has been pur chased for a Protestant College. FRANCE. The Paris election is over. The successful candidates are Louis Napoleon, Raspail, and Foulde. Louis Napo leon is already returned for L'Orme, La Charente, La Moselle, and L'Yonne. M. Raspail, who is a Socialist, is at present ii prison at Vincennes, for aiding in a con,pi racy to overthrow the National Assembly on the 15th of May. The moderate Republicans, composing the Parlia mentary Club, have waited upon General Cavaignac. with an assurance of their support against all Socialis's, Bona partists, or any other class of hostile politicians. M. Marrast has been re-elected President of the Assembly for another month. The Paris papers of Thursday contain further additions to the returns of the late elections for Paris. Prince Louis Napoleon had received 116,014 votes, M. Fould 80,193, and the Socialist, M. Raspail, 67.852. The other two Red candidates, MM. Thore and Cabet, received respec tively 65,650 and 65,460 votes, thus bearing out the asser tion of Prince Louis's friends, on Wednesday, .that his election was in no respect due to the Communists and So cialists, who displayed on this occasion an unanimity " worthy of a better cause." Paris remains in a state of tranquillity. Rumours of a change of ministry are becoming daily more general, though what better ministry can be formed out of the ma terials, the press forbears to say. The election of Prince Louis has been officially announced. The greatest enthu siasm was manifested by the populace, and the shouts of " vive Napoleon" rent the air. A public triumphal entry of Louis into Paris is amongst the on dits of the hour. General Cavaignac is at his wits end. He is cruelly em barrassed by negociations with deputations from the diffe rent parties, which keeps the public mind in a state of feverish agitation. MORE FETES FOR THE PARISIANS. — The report from the Comite de Comptabilite, on the proposition relative to the indemnity to the President of the Nationai As sembly has been distributed to the members. The com mittee recommends that a supplementary sum of 6,000 f. a month should be allowed to the President, in order to enable him to give grand fetes, which, like those already given, encourage trade, and are important in a political point of view, by enabling men of all parties to meet, and by showing that calm and security exist. PROPOSED PANTHEISTIC IDOL AT PARIS.—A scheme has lately been put forth at Paris for converting the Pan theon, agreeably to its name, into an idol temple, in which all religions are to be combined. An artist of the name of Chevanard has been entrusted with the execution of it by M. Ledru Rollin. The foreign correspondence received in Paris on Satur day announces that the offer of mediation between the Sicilians and the Neapolitan Government made by the British and French Admirals has been accepted, and that the neutiality of Venice has been recognized by the Aus- trian Government. The Dowager Queen of Naples, mother of the reigning Monarch, died at Naples, on the 11th ins*. On the 31st ult. Ibrahim Pacha was installed by the Sultan, Viceroy of Egypt, in the room of his father, Me hemet Ali, the mental faculties of the latter having ren dered him for some time past incapable of discharging the , high and responsible duties connected with that office. The Schleswig Holstein armistice has been accepted by the Frankfort parliament on the 16th, after a sitting of 11 hours, and by a majority of 21—thus rescinding the motion agreed to by the same wise legislators on the sth inst., which went to reject the before named truce. Upon that decision the ministers resigned their functions, and the Administrator of the Empire has not yet been able to find statesmen, able cr willing, to supply their room. No SCARCITY OF FOOD.—It is estimated that the harvest of the United States this season is sufficient to feed half the people on the globe abundantly. : With scarcely an exception, every species of grain, fruit, and vegetable, is yielding throughout the country an extra ordinary crop. Of beef, pork, butter, cheese, &c., the same plenty abounds, and while our population are secure of every comfort and luxury in the way of food, we shall have a surplus sufficient to meet all the famine that may occur in the Old World.—New York Sun. A most horrinfe auu revunnig mut-riciae nas-oee-torea in Lisbon. A young girl of 20 murdered her mother, decapitated her, and cut the arms and legs from the body. Tile various parts were found in different streets ; but the head could not be discovered till the house was searched, when it was found concealed near the girl, who was cooking some provisions. The lover of the girl was supposed to have been implicated in the murder, but she resolutely refused to denounce him. News from St. Petersburgh states that an emeute which at first looked threatening, broke out among the poorer population, who bad become desperate on finding the cholera re-appearing among them, and who had got up the cry that the diet was in a conspiracy to poison them. Large assemblages were collecteu, and the troops were ordered out. Barricades were raised, and just before the melee was about to commence, the Emperor appeared, and, having dismounted from his horse, took his standing on the first barricade, and assured the people that the chastisement was of God's infletion, and must be submit ted to with resignation. This had the desired effect; the people were satisfied. HORRIBLE ASSASSINATION. — Mr. Robert Whitlock Nicholl, eldest son of Whitlock Nicholl, Esq., Adams down, near Cardiff, was assassinated at Naples, on Sun day tlight, the 27th of August, under circumstances of brutal ferocity. A party of young men had assembled to see two officers to their ship, and whilst so doing stopped on the Quay to have some oysters. A dispute arose about the payment of them ; that, however, was settled, but on proceding further, Mr. Jesslp, assistant-surgeon, was pelted with glass bottles tand stabbed, but is now in a fair way of recovery. Mr. Nicholl was still more the vic tim of these revengeful savages, having been stabbed in the back, which caused his death almost immediately. The murderer is in custody. Some very disgusting horrors appear to have been per petrated at the taking of Messina by the Neapolitan army. An eye-witness describes the war as not one of Christians, but a desperate struggle of cannibals. The insurgents of Messina, it is said, roasted Neapolitan soldiers and ate them: about sixty prisoners thus served to gratify the beastly appetites of the cannibals of Messina. Our con temporary the Standard makes a curious use of this fact. " The Lmstrygones," says our contemporary, "have ra ther improved in their taste for human flesh since Homer's time, for we find in the Tenth Odyssey that these old Sicilians ate their game raw, whereas. Pope Pius's spiritual subjects cool( their meat. Oh, the humanising and civil ising spirit of Rornanism !" FRANKFORT.—A monster meeting was held on the 17th, at which resolutions denouncing as traitors the members of the majority of the German Parliament who had voted in favour of ratifying the Danish armistice were agreed to, and the members themselves were called upon to resign their seats. The language used by the speakers was of the most inflammatory character, and those present were to re-assemble the next morning. On the 18th they again met and proceeded to acts of open insurrection. Troops were called in, and, after a severe conflict, they succeeded in dispersing the insurgents. We regret to find that Major Von Auerswald (a brother of the ex-premier of Prussia), and Prince Linchnowsky— both members of parliament—were shot by the insur gents. A bullet entered the back of Major Auerswald's head, coming out above his right eye; another struck the young Prince through the body. The first dropped from his horse almost senseless, the latter was pulled from his, and both were most cruelly beaten. The old Major soon breathed his last— the Prince was left in the dust, with both his arms hacked by a hatchet. He was carried, when the account was sent off, to a hospital, where he was reported to be still alive, but in a desperate state. There were some officers and 18 or 20 men killed of the Prussian or other soldiers, and 60 wounded. Of the in surgents about 27 killed. GALLICIA.—A most horrible crime has been committed at Lemberg. All the family of the rabbi of that city have been poisoned. For some time past a bad feeling has existed between the Israelites of the ancient faith and those of the reformed creed. The government had given to the whole commune one rabbi, at the wish of the re formed Jews. This was vehemently opposed by those of the ancient faith ; the two sects became more and more alienated, and the Jews of the ancient faith also demand ed a rabbi of their creed. A few days after this event they , commenced a violent attack upon the Rabbi Cohen, en tered his house, and insulted him in the open street, and then the plan was conceived of getting rid of him altoge ther. A Jew, who had gone into the kitchen, threw a large dose of arsenic into a pot. After dinner the whole family and domestics, in all nine persons, fell ill. Medi cal aid was instantly procured, but the rabbi and one of he children, at the date of the latest accounts, were al ready dead, and little hope was entertained of the others. Several suspected Jews had been taken and confronted with the servant, who, however, had not been able to identify them. THE " WIZARD OF TIIE NORTH " IN JENNY LIND'S NATIVE CITY (STocKnot,m).—Mr. Anderson has re cently astonished and delighted the inhabitants of Stock holm, including royalty itself. He gives an interesting account of some of his feats with the " Jenny Lind' handkerchiefs, a few dozens of which he took with him from England for the purposes of his profession. In per forming at Stockholm, he changed ordinary handkerchiefs into these fine specimens in silk until his stock became nearly exhausted, such was the eagerness to obtain them ; and he was obliged to announce that he had no more. THE L The Queen herself sent for him, received him most gra ciously, anti expressed a wish to have one. He said they were all gone; but her Majesty said that " from what she had heard of him, he could no doubt easily produce one." He approached her Maj:'sty, and requested permission to look at the handkerchief she held in her hand. This fa vour was no sooner granted than in a moment—" change" —her Majesty's handkerchief turned to a veritable Jenny Lind naisluk. Her Majesty and her court were asto nished. A few days before he lett the city he was called upon by an old lady, who carried a small basket, and was of humble garb, but highly prepossessing appearance. She asked him, after kindly salutation, if he had a Jenny Lind handkerchief to dispOse of. He made the previous reply. The lady seemed much disappointed, and said he had seen one of the handkerchiefs, and had come to pur chase a portrait of her dear daughter,—for this was the mother of the songstress. He knew he had one still left, and having said he had none, how was he to get over the difficulty. He said he would see if there was one left, and, after a few minutes' absence, returned and asked the old lady to look into her basket. She did so, and to her great astonishment discovered a beautiful silk Jenny Lind naisduk. The parent of the illustrious Swede gazed on the portrait of her daughter with delight, and, after thanking him profusely, proffered money for the article, which Mr. Anderson accepted, but only to astonish her the more; for when she got home she not only found the handkerchief in her basket, but the money she had paid for it also. IRELAND. The following paragraph appeared in our second edition on Tuesday last :- CLONMEL, SUNDAY EVENING.—The excitement caused here by the recent outbreak of the insurgents, has in a great measure subsided, in consequence of the arrival yesterday of the intelligence that the rebel camp had been broken up. The insurgents, it appears, finding themselves not well supported by the other counties, and pressed so closely by the troops, a considerable number of them have dispersed, it is thought, by command of their rebel leaders, until some more favourable op portunity : the leaders themselves have as yet contrived to escape the vigorous pursuit made for them. Doheny, it is rumoured, is in the county of Tipperary, not very far from Clonmel; and a person suspected to be O'Mahoney was very nearly captured in the county Waterford, a few miles from Carrick, on Friday morning. Mr. Coulson, R.M., with a military and police force, was scouring the country that night, when early on Friday morning a horseman was descried some distance off, riding away at a furious pace; Mr. Coulson immediately ordered the Dragoons to give chase, which they did, and gained on :Jim considerably, when he dismounted, made for the mountains close by, and by that means escaped for the present : his horse was taken, and proved to be one which the insurgents had taken from William V. Stuart, Esq., the High Sheriff of the county Kilkenny ; from pistols, &c., found on the horse, it is conjectured that the rider was O'Mabony. It was reported here on Friday evening that some marines, who had ascended the Suir in gun-boats, for the purpose of practising. had been at tacked on that day by the insurgents, and compelled to fire cannon at them. I cannot describe to you the alarm this town was thrown into on receipt of the intelligence. On Saturday night, O'Mahony had another extraordi nary escape from arrest. Mr. Coulson. magistrate, re ceived information that he was at his own house, and might easily be secured ; he therefore set out with a party of military and arrived just in time to find that the bird had flown. O'Mahony had scouts on the 'oak out, and learned of the approach of the troops in sufficient time to jump on his horse and dash off towards the river Suir, which he crossed, and left his pursuers on the other side. The Clonmel Chronicle denies, " on authority," that the Premier has received a summons to attend the special commission as a witness. The property in the residences of Smith O'Brien, at Cahermoyle, and of Doheny, at Cashel, is in charge of bailiffs under Exchequer writs. A new rebel newspaper is to be published in Dublin, on the second Saturday in October, with the title of " The National." A Dublin paper makes the somewhat Irish announce ment, that the " Disturbed" districts remain in a " con tinued state of peace." Not the smallest excitement is shown by the public at Clonmel about the trials—not so much even as during an ordinary assize. The Clonrnel Chronicle still insists that Mr. Darcey M'Gee, late sub-editor of the Nation, was in the county of Waterford mountains during the late disturbances, and led the attack on the Portlaw police-barracks. A design to carry off the Marchioness of Waterford and to hold her as an hostage, with the intention of destroying her, should any of the rebels suffer death, has been pre vented by the vigilance of the Marquis. Preparations are making at Knocklofty, the seat of the Earl of Donoughmore, three or four miles from Clonmel, for the reception of Lord John Russell. who, it appears, is certainly to be examined as a witness at the special commission. Mr. John O'Connell. by way of currying favour with his quondam allies, has addressed an officious letter to Lord Clerendon, asking his lordship whether, when "he de nounced as criminal the efforts of repeaters," his excel lency meant to refer to him. THE ROTARY PARLIAMENTS lIUMBUG.—Lord Clan carty has written in reply to Lord W. Fitzgereld's circu lar. His lordship considers the proposed plan impractic able, and even if practicable, not calculated to produce the objects sought for. At the same time he appears to approve of the new agitation. OPPOSITION TO THE PAYMENT OF RENTS.—At day break on Sunday week, about four hundred men, many of unem- a emere---"-- , ---e‘.--;-eda o ,Rohe t. eel down and carried off by nine o clock the produce of seven acres of land. Port Robert is near Ballineen, beyond Bandon, and close to a police-station. Mr. Doheny, the Irish rebel, has arrived in Paris. He landed at Boulogne ;Ater many hair-breadth escapes, and seems to be heartily rejoiced that he has avoided the fate of some of his fellow-conspirators. Mr. Doheny regards the cause of repeal as hopeless, at least for the present, and grounds his flight on the conviction that further re sistance was useless. A NEW-FASHIONED GRIDIRON.—A person who went into a wood at Coolmanuck, Clonmel, the other day, ob served a party of rebels enjoying their mutton in the fol lowing manner :—they had taken a sheep, and removing an iron gate from its hinges, laid it flat upon a fire. On this novel gridiron they placed the carcase, which they had dressed and cut in two, and, as soon as it was done, enjoyed their repast. THE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE BYRNE, THE POLICE MAN.—On Thursday, Byrne, the policeman, who was stabbed in George's-street, on the 26th of July last, by three Clubbists, attended at the head police-office, Dub lin, to identify the prisoners. The three men were brought to the office along with about a dozen others, and without any hesitation he pointed out Michael Moran as the person who stabbed him, and John Joseph Moran, and M'Cormick, as his companions on the occasion of that outrage. COLD-BLOODED MURDER.—On Monday, as three young men were returning from a funeral, they happened to go into a house of entertainment at Roskelton, to drink some coffee. There they met with a man named Wright, who has been teaching school and catechism in the church of Roskelton during the last six months. Some jokes were passed on Wright by a rival lover concerning a sweetheart, when he drew a large penknife and plunged it into the intestines of his rival, a man of the name of Mullowney, whic'a caused instant death. Mullowney had borne an excellent character, and was only twenty-one years of age. The murderer has been committed. THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD.—SOMB few weeks ago, when insurrectionary symptoms first manifested them selves, the Marquis of Waterford convened his tenantry and labourers. A crowd of ill-disposed fellows also gathered about him, and made several demonstrations of dissent from his lordship's statements about the immensely superior force which England would bring against the re bels. One fellow was remarkably forward, full of bluster, and cried out,—" We don't care—we are able for them— we are ready to fight them—wait till we get at them." The noble marquis pointed at the noisy boaster, and said, —" Come here, sir ; you want a fight—stand out and have a round with me—let us see what you are made of, who want to be at the troops; come, sir, try your hand with me." The fellow dropped his head and skulked away. amid the derision of the spectators. It is hardly neces sary to add, that the circumstance was not without a good effect on the spectators. THE STATE TRIALS. On Thursday the special commission was opened at Clonmel. The judges on the bench were, the Chief Jus tice of the Common Pleas, the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, and Mr. Justice Moore. The grand panel of the county of Tipperary being read over, and a grand jury being sworn in. Lord Suirdale as foreman, Chief Justice Blackburn addressed them at great length. He expressed his great regret that after so short a period as that which had elapsed since the labours of the commission over which he had presided, her Majesty should have found it necessary to issue another for the preservation of the peace. He regretted still more that the crime which they had now to try was one of high treason. His lordship proceeded to explain in what this crime consisted, and to detail to the grand jury the history of the seditious agitation against the crown and govern ment, which had commenced with inflammatory speeches in Dublin, and had been consummated by the rising o f armed men in Tipperary. the raising of barricades against her Majesl y's troops, and the offering of warlike impedi ments to her Majesty's servants, when in pursuit of cer tain persons against whom warrants had been issued. His lordship referred especially to the conflicts, which will be remembered, between the insurgents and parties of policemen. The rules with respect to high treason were stated to be these: to convict of the charge of "compassing the death of the Queen," it was only necessary to prove an attempt to depose the " sovereign" from the government and possession either of the whole or part of the domini ons . And, entering into measures with fmeigneys or others for the purpose of invasion, or going to a foreign country, or proposing to go there for that end, or taking steps thereto, are overt acts, for the compassing or imagining of the qneen's death ; and again, many offences falling under the statute may be brought within the particular offences alluded to. Levying war, and conspiracy to levy war, are overt acts within this branch of t he stat ute — that is , the branch which makes compassing the king's death high treason. The crime of high treason consisted alto gether in the intention. Proof of the commission of overt acts would be required,. and that proof must be given by not less than two witnesses. " And the l aw with respect to high treason , which consists in the inten tion, makes it requisite for the crown to specify in the indictment the overt acts or acts done, and the means used by the person charged for the purpose of effecti ng his object or design. Accordingly the indictment which VERPOOL STANDARD. will be submitted to you will contain the various overt acts on which the crown relies; and in support of this indictment the crown must satisfy you that some one or more of those overtacts have actually taken place. As to the other counts in the indictment, the charges of " levy ing war : insurrection, and appearing in arms, for a " general innovation," must be proved, and. in law, the attempt to sever Ireland from the United Kingdom would be an attempt at such " innovation." The jury then retired, and late in the day brought in true bills against Mr. Smith O'Brien, Mr. M`Manus, Messrs. Orchard, Thine, and O'Donnell. These prisoners were then placed at the bar, and, on application, copies of the indictment were granted to them. M`Manus looks well, and walked with a firm step ; Meagher was in good spirits; O'Brien looked composed, but seemed as if he was anxious to hide his distress. On Friday the Grand Jury returned a true bill against Thomas F. Meagher. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS. - `- King's College, Aberdeen, has conferred the degree of LL.D. on Prince Albert. _ . Two sermons were preached in St. George's church, Bolton, on Sunday last, when collections amounting to £92 were made in behalf of the Sunday Schools be longing to the same. We hear that 1,000 to 1.200 are the average number of the children attending these schools, and that this collection is much below the usual amount, arising no doubt from Sunday being so wet a day. VISIT OF THE BISHOP OF TUAM TO ACHILL ISLAND. —The Lord Bishop of Team has been staying on a sisit to the Missionary Settlement, Achill Island, of which his lordship is president, from Saturday, the 9th instant, to Tuesday morning. During his stay his lordship visited the Hospital, the Orphan Establishment, and the schools, and expressed his warm approbation of the good work going on in the island. The Morning Post states that, on Sunday week, an afternoon lecturer preached at a church not far from London Bri3ge, on behalf of the Scripture Readers Soci ety. At the close of the sermon, he waited with the con gregation in anticipation of a collection being made, but after some time the churchwardens, instead of proceeding round with the plates, took up their hats and walked out. The following Sunday the clergyman explained that the reason no collection had been made was, that the wardens declined, not having received the consent of the lay rec tor. The dispute will, it is said, be referred to the Dio cesan., PROPOSED BISHOPRIC IN CHlNA.—After mature de liberation, much discussion, and urgent preaching, it is arranged to create a new bishopric in the Celestial Em pire. The Colonial Bishoprics' Committee recommend that this be accomplished without further delay. The plan has received the general approval of her Majesty's Government. The see is to be, fixed at Victoria, in the island of Hong Kong. The total sum, says the report, available for the endowment may at present be reckoned at £lB,OOO, of which nearly one-half has been given by two noble-minded individuals, a brother and sister, who have besides offered £2OOO more for the erection of a col lege. The other portion was collected at the different churches, five years ago, in obedience to the Bishop of London's letter, urging that a general appeal should be made throughout his diocese for this especial object. An annual allowance from the Colonial Bishoprics' Fund, and a grant of £6OOO, are also to be made, which altogether are barely sufficient for the endowment ; an appeal, there fore, to the liberality and self-denial of the favoured mem bers of the church is made by the committee. THE LATE PERVERSION AT LEEDS. We gave last week an article from the Morning Herald which copied some statements from a recent sermon, preached by Dr. Hook, condemnatory of the Rev. J. Jephson, wie of his citrates. The following reply. ad dressed by Mr. Jephson to the Churchwardens of Leeds, certainly places the matter in a more favourable light as regards the writer, but leaves Dr. Hook in rather an un enviable position : " Birmingham, Sept. 15, 1848. " Gentlemen—l have this day received a sermon pub lished by Dr. Hook, with a preface addressed to you, in which he says, ' You will judge, gentlemen, of the sur prise which 1 experienced when I received information last week, that Mr. and Mrs. Jepbson had been received into the Church of Rome, not on their quitting Leeds in August, 1848, but in the year 1846, before his coming to Leeds ; even then, while professing himself to be a decided Anglican, he was actually a member of the apostate Church of Rome.' " This statement, from whatever source Dr. Hook re ceived it, is simply untrue. Neither I nor my family be came Catholics till the 9th of August last, when we had the happiness of being received into the Church of Bir mingham. " A paragraph did appear in the Church and State Ga zette in the year 1846, to the effect that I had acknow ledged the supremacy of St. Peter's successor; this I im mediately coptradicted, as I had not then gono further than to be, as Dr. Hook expresses it, unsettled and so completely was the Bishop of the Diocese satisfied, that I continued to hold my curacy, and finally resigned it of my own free will, for the purpose of coming to Leeds, or some other place where I expected to find the Anglican system carried out thoroughly. The editors of the Ca tholic Directory' probably copied from the Protestant papers, the accuracy of whose information they had no reason to doubt, and placed me and my family in their list of converts without further inquiry. That Permissu Superiorum,' in the title page of an almanac, means that the Catholic Bishops have examined the accuracy of every statement contained in it, is really absurd. " But the fact is, Dr. Hook knew, at the time I be came his curate, that I had been unsettled,' as he says himself; that is, that I had had doubts of the claims of the Protestant Church, as some persons, very much in Dr. Hook's confidence at pre!:ent, have also had. I, my self, k-e-- the curacy, told him and Mrs. Hook that a report that I and my family had become Catholics had been mentioned in my presence at a party in Leeds; to which he replied to the effect that I need not trouble myself about it, for that he himself had been held up to reproach in the news papers as being . a Catholic. Not being satisfied with this, I told the clerk in orders of it (he being supposed to be in Dr. Hook's confidence), and offered at the same time to leave Leeds, that I might not bring suspicion on. Dr. Hook, whose principles I then believed in, and de sired to promote. So that what Dr. Hook treats as a piece of intelligence he received `last week,' with sur prise,' he really knew, and acknowledged to be false from the very beginning of our acquaintance. And Dr. Hook, in the secret of his heart, at this moment knows it to be false, though he affects to believe the contrary to save his party from the reproach of leading men to the Catholic Church. But he need not flatter himself that his state ment will deceive any unprejudiced person ; even one of his own curates, writing to inform me of the sermon and preface in question, uses the following expressions—' As this statement is absolutely incredible by any who, like myself, have ever been in your friendship, I should feel obliged; by a line from you empowering me to contradict it upon your authority. —I have the honour to be, gentle men. your obedient servant, JoHN M. JEPHSON. " To the Churchwardens of the Parish of Leeds." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. -4- --- MORRIS THE PEDESTRIAN. — On Monday last this ce lebrated pedestrian walked half a mile, then ran half a mile, walked backwards half a mile, walked backwards and forwards half a mile, played a violin half a mile, played a tamborine half a mile, ran a coach-wheel half a mile, trundled a hoop half a mile, wheeled a barrow half a mile, hopped 100 yards, and then picked up 100 stones placed one yard apart, 50 with his mouth, and 50 with his hands, and brought each stone to a basket. He com pleted this in eight minutes less than an hour. THE PREVALENT DISEASE OF THE SEASON CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. —Persons finding themselves the least out of order should take ten of these Pills imme diately, no matter the hour, as they directly act on the liver, stomach, and bowels, and in so searching and effec tual a manner, that bowel complaints are soon stopped, at the same time they correct any disorder of the liver or stomach, thus it is that officers or others from the East or West Indies derive such immense benefit from this fine medicine, which invigorates impaired constitutions, inducing feelings of youthfulness and energy. The same cured the Earl of Aldborough of a liver and stomach complaint. THE POOR NOT SO BAD AS SOME THINK TIIEM.— Such was the sort of life which I passed amongst these poor children and poor people. It is true I saw and heard some things of which it perhaps would not have been any disadvantage had I remained ignorant for the time. But my heart was never corrupted—never beguiled of its childish simplicity. Nor did any of these poor people,— and I will do them the justice to state it, ever by word or deed, throw in my way an inducement that might lead to vice. The great mass of the poor and unfortunate are not, in my opinion, so vicious as by the " well-to-do" multitude of the world they are supposed to be; and judging from what I have seen of them, from my child hood to the present time, which has not been a little, I should say they are more entitled to pity than condemna tion. Some, we know, are thoroughly vicious and de based; but that the main body of them, struggling as they do, daily and hourly, with want on one hand, and the allurements to vice on the other, still lean, nay, hold strongly, by " virtue's side," and cast from them tempta tions of which those who judge them severely know nothing, appears to me a truth so undeniable, that although my humble testimony may increase its accept ance, I cannot expect that it will add to its force.— Samuel Banzford's "Early Days." LADIES SHOULD EMIGRATE.—In addition to the grstion of females to be promoted under government or Colonial auspices, it seems to me that a considerable vo luntary emigration might be very advantageously carried on, if some better arrangements 'were made in Sydney and gelbourne for receiving those who happen to have no friends in the colony.—Nothing is more puzzling for the daughter of a respectable farmer or tradesmen, left an orphan with one, two, or three hundred pounds, to know how to dispose of such a capital and her own services in such a manner as to procure a comfortable and indepen dent living. The home-country is overwhelmed with governesses, dressmakers, and small-ware shopkeepers. For all these, if in stout health and of sufficiently decided and courageous disposition, there is a much better open ing in the colonies than in Europe. They should place their small fund in the hank, and if a situation does not immediately offer, proceed to the small towns of the in terior, where among other valuable sources of employ ment, husbands are plentiful. The daughters of farmers, who understand the dairy, could do well for themselves, and would find this acquirement, and others like it, more valuable than accomplishments in the Indian market in the old pagoda-tree-shaking days. When the mail steam packets to Sydney are established, perhaps more conside rable female consignments fi ill be made.—We in ilus ralia. SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Ten o'clock. SERIOUS FIRE IN NELSON STREET, THIS MORNING. A little before six-o'clock this morning, smoke was dis covered issuing from the premises of Mr. Wright, (late Rigby and Wright,) timber merchant, of Nelson-street, immediately contiguous to and in the rear of Dr. Raffles' chapel. The fire, the origin of which is unknown, broke out in the lath-room, whence from the extreme dryness of the materials, it rapidly spread to the surrounding timber; the store-room in the yard. forming one side of Griffiths street, was completely -.destroyed, and its valuable con tents, chiefly mahogany and furniture woods, fell a prey to the flames. The engines of the West of England Co. and of the Liverpool fire police were quickly on the spot, but from a total absence of water from the mains for a considerable time after their arrival, they were rendered inoperative. At the time we are writing (9 a.m.), the fire is burning vigorously on the site of the store-room, but all danger of its extending is•happily past. The premises and stoat- we learn were insured, but whether so as to cover the damage, which must necessarily be very great, we do not know, Mr. Wright being absent from town. Had the flames extended in the opposite direction to which they did, in all probability that beautiful structure, Great George-street Chapel, would ere this have been again in ruins. RAIL !FAY AFFAIRS. RAILWAY IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA.-A meeting of gem tlern - (in connected with South Australia took place on Wednesday, in. London, to hear the result of a corre spondence between Lord Grey and a committee consti tuted to promote a railway from the city to the port. of Adelaide, in South Australia. The committee consisted of Col. Torrens, Mr. Runt, Mr. Dunlop, Mr. Parker, and Mr. Bovill. Government are quite favourable to the object. THE NARROW GAUGE.—On Friday, the new and pow erful engine, the " Liverpool," which has the same sized driving-wheel, the same sized cylinder, the same length of stroke, and the same amount of heating surface that have been given to the most recently-constructed passenger locomotives upon the broad gauge. made a trip from Birmingham to London and bark. The " Liver po )I" was, when running with the tender, perfectly steady at 60 miles an hour. From official returns it appears that the amount of traffic for the last week, on 4053 miles of railway, was £229,272, thus accounted for :—£122.148 for the conveyance of pas sengers only, £51,202 for the carriage of goods, and a remainder of £55.922 for passengers and goods together, not respectively apportioned ; being an increase of £23,191 over the corresponding week of last year, when the mileage was 3221. The average earnings per mile were £56, whilst in 1847 they were £64. The Kendal - and Windermere report presented to the adjourned meeting of the proprietors announced that no definite arrangement for the lease of the line to the Lan caster and Carlisle had been effected. By an issue of .£lO preference shares, the directors are authorized to raise X 50,000 at an interest of 6 per cent. per annum. The directors intend to memorialize the London and North-Western to bring their line to Sedgwick or Crook lands. _ _ . . . In the report of the directors of the Chester and Holy head much stress was laid on the confirmation by parlia ment of the powers of the company for their steamboats across the Irish Channel. The transit had been repeatedly made in an hour and a half less than the time anticipated. The chairman stated that when the line was opened they would have a traffic of £5OOO per week. At present the returns are about £2207 weekly. The Britannia bridge is perfectly satisfactory. Payment of the calls in arrear (£70,150) is to be immediately enforced. The Mold line, when completed, is to purchased. The issue of deben tures, in lieu of the preference shares not taken up, amounting to about £15,000, was authorised ; and a divi dend was declared of 4s. lid. per share on the preference shares. THE BRITANNIA AND CONWAY BRIDGES.—The report of Mr. R. Stephenson, presented to the meeting of the Chester and Holyhead Railway, on Wednesd, y last, stated that the construction of the second tube of the Conway bridge is far advanced, and there is no doubt it will be ready for removal by the middle of October. The pon toons have been strengthened, the capstans re-erected, and every other arrangement in a forward state for its erec tion. About three-fourths of the masonry of the Britan nia bridge have been completed ; and, taking the progress now making as the guide, it is calculated that the first tube will be ready for lifting to its place in the course of next March or April. The iron work at the Britannia bridge has progressed even more rapidly than was expected, and the four large tubes are jus.: approaching completion. The whole of the central portion of the tubes is finished, and the castings at the ends are now being inserted. The scaffolding for the end tubes on the Anglesea side is com plete, and a large proportion of the iron is already punched for their immediate commencement. The scaffolding ne cessary for the tubes on the Carnarvon side will be erected immediately, to open the line throughout as rapidly as possible. Every arrangement is being made for floating the tubes as soon as the masonry is ready. The works satisfactory manner. The daily passage of heavy trains through the Conway tube for four months, together with a series of careful observations as to the effects produced, have completely ( s':ablished the correctness of the views upon which the designs for this and the Britannia were based. The cost of these structures has very much ex ceeded what was originally calculated upon ; on reconsi dering, however, the whole subject, Mr. Stephenson is sa tisfied that the method which has been adopted is certainly the most eligible if not the only practicable one. The Shropshire Union line, it is stated in the report of the directors, will be opened throughout in the early part of next spring, and the Shropshire canal has been leased at a rent of 5 per cent. on the purchase-money. iinstrirtlrls. The Earl of Derby is daily adding to bis menagerie, at Knowsley. Mr. Whitfield has just arrived in London, from the river Gambia, with a fine collection of antelopes and other rare animals, several of which have never before been seen in England, and these have been in due course forwarded to Knowsley. Mr. Whitfield has been absent some years in search of these rare animals. A SLIGHT MISTAKE.—The dames of Clitheroe, young and old, married and single, were thrown into a state of great alarm and perplexity, last week, by an announce ment of the bellman that " a large quantity of black damsels had arrived and were on sale in the market place." They rushed to the spot, and happily found that the arti cles on sale were fruit—not females. An ordination, we believe the first in Preston since the reformation, took place in the Roman Catholic Chapel of St. Augustine, in this town, on Wednesday morning last. The very Rev. G. Brown, Roman Catholic Bishop of Lan caster was present. The Rev. J. Hardman was ordained deacon, and to-day the ordination is to be resumed, and Mr. Hardman will be made priest.—Preston Pilot. THE NEW BEER ACT.—The beneficial effects of this measure appear already to be generally felt. On Sunday morning, almost all the beer shops in the town were kept strictly closed till half-past 12 o'clock ; and the result was that decency and quiet prevailed where drunkenness and disorder were too often previously to be seen.—Black burn Standard. THE MURDER AT ASFITON.—The inquiry into the cir cumstances attending the murder of Bright, the unfortu nate policeman who fell a victim to the Chartists during the recent outbreak at Ashton, was brought to a close on Tuesday, when the bench of magistrates, after examining numbers of witnesses, came to the determination to com mit Ratcliffe, Constantine, Kenworth and Walker, as principals in the murder ; Winterbottom as accessory after the fact ; and Scott, as accessory before the fact. At the same time Tassaker and Sefton were committed for un lawfully assembling and rioting. Thomas Curtis, collector of taxes and poor-rates for the borough of Salford, absconded some time since with money to the amount of between £2OOO and £3OOO. On arriving at Boston, in America, he was proceeding up the river, when a friend he had been intimate with stole his cash-box, and left him and his family poiniless. ThEy returned to England, and in a state of starvation applied to a Manchester bank for £25, which had been deposited there by his wife sometime previous. They paid the money, but gave information to the police, which has led to his apprehension. CHESHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—This society, which has hitherto been known under the name of the " South Cheshire Agricultural Society," held its annual meeting at Nantwich, on 'Wednesday last, under the able presidency of the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Combermere. The display of cheese, there being six competitors for the prize, elicited general commendation. The implements were superior to those shown in any former year. The stock shown was not large in number. but valuable in quality. The prevalence of disease deterred many parties from sending stock. There were some good bulls, and also dairy stock. The show of pigs elicited great commen dation, particularly the breeding sows. The show of horses was limited. TARVIN BAZAAR, 1848.—Intheyear 1844, £137145. 9d. was subscribed by the gentry, landowners, farmers, and others, connected with the very extensive parish of Tarvin, which is five miles east from Chester ; but the liabilities were then nearly £2OO, thus leaving a deficiency of upwards of £6O; and since that period an additional expenditure has been contracted, amounting to £125, for the enlargement of the Grammar School-house; so that, supposing the present proceeds of the bazaar to reach £l5O, there will still be the difference to be advanced by some individuals ; and that most probably by the vicar or his friends. It is, however, highly gratifying to see so many parishioners sympathizing with their minister, and to witness among many hundreds of spectators a liberal supply of clothing and food ; all of which, when combined, were elegant, substantial, and useful, and also well suited for the various attendants. The object principally in view was to render the ancient Free School an efficient benefit to the farmers' sons, and to any others who may avail themselves of such a reasonable, rational, and reli gious education. We need not add that the venerable vicar is more than delighted, and is most grateful to his own parishioners, as well as to his friends in Cheshire, Lancashire, &c. No language can express sufficient praise to. Mr. and Mrs. Brindley, and their assistants. MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL AGRICUL- :WEAL SOCIETY. According to the terms of the amalgamation, entered into last year by the Manchester Agricultural Society, instituted in 1767, and the Liverpool Society; instituted i n 1830, it was agreed that the annual exhibition and. dinner should be held at Manchester and Liverpool every alternate year, or any town in Lancashire or Cheshire, situate within thirty miles of Newton-in-the -Willows. In compliance with these terms, the exhibition and dinner this year took place at Manchester, on Tuesday ; and the most - satisfactory results are anticipated from the re-union. then auviciously commenced. The show-yard was situated on d vacant piece of ground at the rear of the Palatine Hotel, close to the Liverpool and Manchester Railway station. The show was some what inferior to that held at Liverpool last year. The attendance of the landlords and farmers was remarkably good. Lord Stanley and other noble lords were early in Manchester, so also was Mr. William Brown, M.P., and other distinguished gentlemen. The dinner took place in the large room attached to the Palatine Hotel, and was numerously and respectably at tended. The Right Hon. Lord STANLEY presided. Amongst the company to the right and left of the chair, we noticed Sir Richard Brooke, Sir Thomas Joseph De Trafford, Huinplirey De Trafford, Esq., Cecil Trafford, Esq.,. Sir B. Heywoad, W. Brown, Esq., M.P... Petten, Esq:, M.P., J. Duncroft, Esq., M.Pa, G. W. Ormerod, John Moore, F.L.S., Peter Clare, Esq., G. G. L. Walker, Esq., Benjamin Hampson, (Steward to the Earl of Wilton,) Samuel Brooks, Esq., R. Neilson Isaac Picton, Esq., &c. About three hundred and sixty persons sat down. After the usual loyal toasts had been drunk, - The CHAIRMAN rose to give a bumper toast—the toast of the evening—" Prosperity to the Manchester and Li verpool Agricultural Society;" and began by expressing the pleasure he felt in being called upon to preside over Tifa t trta h hghic. i merot s ei uevrco u eiruosde i fl consequence Therefore su t arn) e e erpeic lepstluiht s eho, society, appropriate r e e weui ba t toe y tmhm , an object in which lie had long felt a deep. interest, feeling convinced that - the union-of these e societies would tend to the mutual advantage of both of them, and tend also to the advantage of all the local soci eties, because of the increase of competition and :stimulus to exertion they would create. He could nut think, whatever others might do. that a great commercial tows like Manchester was an una.ppropriate situation for this society. None knew better than the agriculturists and the manufacturers how much they were dependent upon eacli other for their mutual prosperity. The agricultu rist well knew that the prosperity of the manufacturing districts and the well-being of trade secured good cus tomers, an abundant market, and favourable prices.

They must land — to make the most of it by draining, cultivating, and ma nuring it as it ought to be drained, cultivated, and ma nured. (Great applause.) He did not see facilities for drainage, and yet no man could lock upon the A B C of farming without being aware how much was to be done in absolutely th esh a impossible agriculturalf i s m t p o r o a v v e o m i d e n ag. d li e e ff w ec is T ie a d l dtoracainll - (Applause.)

(Hear.) The object was to improve the health of the inhabitants of the great towns, but the object also was to get rid of that which, if we only knew how to economise, could be converted to the most useful purposes. There was no subject more worthy of their consideration—first, as to the means of getting rid of an intolerable nuisance, and then converting it into a source of agricultural wealth. (Applause.) He reverted, then,_ to that which was more the immediate subject of the toast. He never was present at any agricultural show in Manchester before that day. but the effect produced that day was this,—that if much had been done—and he believed much had been done— much remained to be done. (Hear.) The specimens of pigs were excellent. Two or three struck him as very valuable bulls, both old and young •, and lie saw con stantly a very great improvement in the nature and cha racter of the tenant-farming stock. (Hear, hear.) He wished he could say anything upon the character of the horses; but he believed that any man at random might go through the streets of Liverpool and Manchester, and find horses equal to any he had seen at either the Liver pool or the Manchester eehibitions. (Hear, and applause.) Their proceedings this year had been satisfactory. Last year they received £lO7 for admission to their show-yard this year they had received £143 ; and he inferred from this a growing desire upon the part of the public to sup port their society. (Hear, hear.) He was also bound to say that within his knowledge and observation there had, in the general management of farms, in the general agri cultural system, in science and the practical application. of that science to the land, on the part of the tenant farmers of Lancashire and Cheshire, been a very great and marked improvement in the last dozen years. (Ap plause.) Every well-disposed landlord must feel that the prosperity of the tenant was the prosperity of himself, and that it was his interest, setting aside all moral ques tions which ought to connect the two, that he should be at the head, not only of a contented, but of a thriving people. (Applause.) And whilst he did justice to the many landlords in that district who assisted their tenon •--"-- 1 "- --a the took in the welfare of their tenants by their presence there oat nay, he must express his regret that he had not the pleasure of seeing there a larger proportion of the landed proprie tary. (Hear, hear, and much cheering.) The noble lord concluded an eloquent speech by proposing " The pros perity and welfare of the United Manchester and Liver pool Agricultural Society," which was drunk in bumpers, amid enthusiestic demonstrations of applause. The prizes were subsequently read over. Several other toasts, principally of a complimentary character to officers of the society, followed. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER.—After Tuesday's market, there appeared to be a little more cheerfulness in some channels of business. On Friday, however, the more gloomy aspect of continental affairs generally, has rendered the depression greater, on the whole, than it was in the earlier part of the week. 'The indisposition to enter into operations is rather strengthened among the Italian, the Greek, and still more the German merchants ; and nothing whatever seems to be doing by the India houses. We understand, too, that somewhat less facility in the discount of bills is perceived —a result of the pressure of railway calls, and of doubts as to the home supply of food, as well as of apprehen sions regarding the state of the continent. Under these cir cumstances, and with a full production going on, it is not sur prising that prices are manifesting a tendency to a further de cline. Within the week, Yarns suitable for Germany and India have given way id. to id. per lb. In some other qualities, also, there is a change in the same direction. Goods suffer in a somewhat smaller decree than yarns. Some descriptions are still scarce and perfectly firm, while others may be had lid. lower. 40-inch shirtings have yielded lid. to 3d. LEEDS.—Both in the public markets and at the warehouses a good deal of business has been done this week, and that as well for the foreign as the home trade. Many of the woollen manufacturers continueengaged on orders ; hence the quantity of goods brought to the Cloth Halls for sale is only small. Prices are firm, and the stocks are rather low. BRADFORD.—WOOI: The business doing continues much in the same way as we have noted for several weeks past, and in prices we have nothing new. Moils and brokes are in steady request and firm in price. Yarns : There is snore inquiry for yarns for shipping, and the spinners are better employed in common yarns, while in coloared there is a greater disposition to use up than give out further orders. In price there is no alteration. Pieces : The accounts of an increased duty on goods for Germany has made less business doing to those mar kets. The home trade as usual. HALIFAX.—We have no alteration to notice this week, either in the worsted or the ya - n trade. The staplers complain that there is very little demand for wool, as the kind of goods now chiefly in request uses up but a very small quantity. Prices continue without variation. There is rather more activity in the low woollen trade of the district ; and the operatives in that branch are more generally employed, but at very low wages. HUDDERSFIELD.—We have again to report a fair amount of business. Fancy goods, of well-designed new styles, meet with ready sale, and with low stocks, there is a probability of a good winter trade. ROCHDALE.—The demand for flannels still continues good, sand solde ys ie ry s eh n eb a ae n ve u yn f a g co limited. t a n d r s e , r h m a veTeebeen readywool dull nl , s oa a fr i k e sea 7 e r h, a aa l s l n h bd e e te r tr a m k e u s c . hK numbersteh r- e same as it was last week. NorrisronAm.—Lace : The demand for the home trade is not so large as usual at this period of the year; there have been very few buyers here this week. There has been a lit .le more demand for Germany and America, which has induced some persons to put machines to work that have not been employed for many months ; and in enure cases other machines are being worked two hours additional time. Hosiery : The hosiery trade remains on the whole very fair; the demand for merinos in shirts, drawers, and gloves, is still very good. In cotton goods there is not quite so much activity. GLASGOW.—Our market has been more inactive this week than any experienced for some time previous. Fortunately, tnere are still considerable orders held by manufacturers, and prices are not quoted lower t'an before; but from the feeling exhibited throughout the week, some concession might be ex pected in offering orders of any considerable magnitude, —par ticularly for the less staple classes of goods. Power-loom goods and yarns have also been much more difficult of sale. ' LATEST DATES AT LIVERPOOL. iDirect. Indirect. ; Direct. Indirect. — Australia .. .. May 15 Lima I .. June 12 Bahia ..

We have every reason to believe that our advice was attended to, for, in a comparatively short time, Mr. Halse's residence was crowded with the e lite of fashion, and their less fortunate fellow-sufferers ; and we feel confident, judging from the astonishing remedial effects it has produced on ourselves, after all kinds of medicines and hydronathy had failed to impart any bene fit, that the public will thank us for our recommendation. We are delighted to notice, a short time since, that Mr. Halse was patronised by the Lord Bishop of London, and Sir Charles Clarke, his Lordship's physician. Mr.. Halse's great reforms in galvanic apparatus, and his im proved methods of application, justly entitle him to rank as the head of his profession. We again recommend our readers to give galvanism a fair trial. Mr. Halse's resi dence is at 22, Brunswick-square, Londou,"—See advt
